1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal holl that for me.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm for it.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: You want to be happy for day Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Is that whoo whoo?

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: And them and tie Dan Rubinstein, I am looking at

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: this list.

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: We received many dozen questions that we will not have

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: a chance to get through in just one episode, which

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: means it's going to be a two parter this week.

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: We've got half the questions that we're going to put

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: forth today, half that we're going to put forth on Thursday,

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: still more to come as part of our Patreon bonus

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: episode a little bit later on in this week, and unfortunately,

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: still some questions that are going to be on the

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: cutter room floor because we got a bit of an

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: outpouring here when we put out the call for not

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: just questions about college football, but also across social media.

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Let us know the mascot and the nickname for your

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: high school. Ooh, I like that a little bit of

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a personal touch there.

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: What if we did the remainder of the questions we

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: don't have time for. We pick some sort of giant

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: mystery JACUZI, we give people clues as to where that

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: mystery jacuzzie is. You and I get in.

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: And we just start just talking.

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Ty, just start answering questions, and if people figured it out,

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: they can come in the jacuzzi and we can just

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: have a nice, steamy hang. Sash answering college football questions?

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Is that weird? I feel like that's normal. Is this

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: a cousin of your other idea, which we've never done yet,

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: at least not that anyone knows of, where we create

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: a separate, unknown, completely ambiguously titled podcast feed and just

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: put it out there, Yes, and then maybe somebody could

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: find it. Yeah, Well, that one's gonna get real heavy. Yeah.

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: So, by the way, So I just got back from

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: the news stand because it's college football magazine preview season,

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: and like you and everybody listening, I poop and so

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: sometimes I need things to read and those are those

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: make for great reading. They didn't have any yet. But

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: the thing I love about newsstands tie which I might

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: argue like a great big news stand superior to a

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: bookstore in some regards, But yeah, the flashy pictures in

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: the on the front of magazines. I love that there's

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: something for everybody at a news stand right. If you're

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: into like air frying potatoes, they gotcha. If you're into

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: bow hunting, they've got like nine different options for you.

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: I have no idea that like if somebody's more into

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: like bow hunting quarterly or modern bow hunter, but whatever

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: your preference is, a great news stand has it? You

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: got your adult section type you're into like Cuban butts, Yeah,

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: they gotcha.

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Yep.

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: They did not have college fotball previews magazines yet, so

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 3: I'll make my way back there. But like a good

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: news stand tie, I'm hoping that there's something for everybody

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: on this two park Q and a nice little segue there, Quinn.

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: No matter your interest in the sport regional team narrative,

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: I'm hoping we got something for you.

Speaker 1: Let's congratulations Skippy, you've got mail mail on the solid

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: ruble as often as we can, Dan Rubinstein, We pay

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: all my to the fine for ballers out there across Patreon,

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: across Twitter, x, Instagram, Facebook, Email, Snapchat, TikTok, WhatsApp. I

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: think I got them all. There are probably about a

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: dozen more. Certainly, let's start on Patreon though, with our

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: good friend chaka super Forbawler chaka Yeah Kentucky fan Choca.

87
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He said, if you had to bet an amount of

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: money that mattered to you, who is the first coach

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to get fired in twenty twenty four? Dan Rubinstein?

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's gonna have to pack up their house and

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: move their kids to a new school, a new town,

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 3: and uproot their lives. Let's start there. Who is the first?

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a schedule dependent a lot of it

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: that if somebody's gonna be fired in the middle of

95
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: the season, then certainly the first half of their season's

96
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: probably gonna be pretty brutal, or their team is just

97
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: bad and they're losing to bad teams. So your big

98
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: candidates were probably what Billy Napier, Sam Pittman, date Daverend,

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: people who were maybe a little bit surprised that they

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: were able to get another year after disappointing twenty twenty three.

101
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: Probably Sam Pittman since he's been there a while. I

102
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: might even throw Clark Lee in there. He's something like

103
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: two and sixteen or something in that range in the SEC,

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: and I just how long is that gonna be? Like,

105
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: you gotta win two or three games a year, it

106
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 3: seems in the SEC for the kind of money Vanderbilt's receiving.

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say Pittman because of the Patrino higher

108
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: it feels almost as if that they hired their interim

109
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Pittman. The Napier schedule thing. It's more

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: brutal on the back half. I looked at other coaches

111
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: who've been disappointing, you know, Tony Ellie Virginia, but he

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: hasn't been there that long.

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: See here's what you're missing about Napier though. First off,

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: the first part of the schedule is kind of brutal.

115
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: And it's brutal in this way. Okay, it doesn't have

116
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: any of the heavy SEC hitters. But they open the

117
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: season against Miami. You lose to an in state rival,

118
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: which is very much on the table. Suddenly, that's going

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: to change perception of where things are headed very quickly.

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: They've also got a game I think in the first

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: five or six weeks against the UCF UCF up and coming.

122
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: We've talked about them on some of our previous episodes.

123
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: Just go back last week and listen. UCF's not a

124
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: bad team. You lose that game. Okay, this is really

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: turning into a crisis. There's even a game before a bye,

126
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: I believe, against Mississippi State. Who knows what we're going

127
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: to get out of Misissippi State. New coach, but it

128
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: just feels like there's so much working against Billy Napier

129
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: in Florida. The deeper you get into the schedule.

130
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: You're not wrong.

131
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: It does get harder the deeper you go. But I

132
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: don't think the first part is easy either. The other

133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: thing I would add is, in addition to the schedule

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: being brutal, in addition to him being part of a

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: lawsuit involving Jadeen Rishata, I also think they want to

136
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: fire him. I don't think we can discount the fact

137
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: that they kind of want to do it. I'm surprised

138
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: they didn't already. He is on a very short leash.

139
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: You can't say the same, at least not to the

140
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: same degree for Sam Pittman, because I've also got the

141
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: tough schedule. It gets harder as you go, right. That

142
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I think is common among these two guys. But I

143
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: don't think they want to fire him. I think they

144
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: really like the guy. They gave him a vote of

145
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: confidence at the end of the year, which you take

146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt. But I feel like they

147
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: want it to work out with him. Sure, skeptical of

148
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: the Patrino thing as well, but I don't think they're

149
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: going to have as quick a trigger. What I can't

150
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: account for is whether there's Tyson Chicken money out there

151
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: like there was for John Calipari to bring him to Fayetteville.

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that check extends to the football program.

153
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, I have to get rid of Sam Pittman, right,

154
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: the combination of Tyson Chicken money and SEC money.

155
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that I don't know as well as some

156
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: in the Arkansas universe probably do. You can at me

157
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: and let me know if I'm wrong here, but please,

158
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the Napier thing is where I would

159
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: put my money.

160
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the billion Napier thing is especially disappointing. You look

161
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: at the brutal schedule, and that's one thing, but you

162
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: look at their twenty twenty three and off field stuff

163
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: and the embarrassment of the whole Jayden Rischattasaga which is

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: now still ongoing. Losing to Utah is somewhat defensible that

165
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: they were at their healthiest other than not having Cam

166
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: rising last year. The I think it was Missoo and

167
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: Arkansas were absolutely winnable games and you know they lost.

168
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's a six second swing. Florida States, you know,

169
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: backup quarterback in Florida has a backup quarterback Grammarts goes

170
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: down late in this season, and even still you're still

171
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: talking about if everything breaks Florida's way in twenty twenty three,

172
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: like eight and four, right, like, you're not talking about

173
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: they were a few seconds away from some crazy impressive season.

174
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: They were impressive elements. There were defensive playmakers, guys on Aubun,

175
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: Ricky Pearson stepped up, Graham Mertz was pretty good. They're

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: impressed of moves forward for Florida, But those late losses

177
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: and winnable games and barely eking by and needing every

178
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: second to beat South Carolina last year, and you got

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: a couple lucky plays. I would say that fourth and

180
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: ten play that it doesn't fill everybody with confidence. You

181
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: have the DJ Lagway factor that you know you want

182
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: to do everything you can to keep a quarterback of

183
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: the future who's not from the state. He's from I

184
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: think Texas.

185
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: So you have that.

186
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: You have the disappointing end to the recruiting class last

187
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: year with a bunch of decommits. I think you're right

188
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: in that finding a reason to get rid of him

189
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: without having to pay him, And maybe that's the Jayden

190
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: Rashada lawsuit would be ideal to in some circles of

191
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: the Florida fan base. But there's still elements of Florida too,

192
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: like and to hope will improve and that they're not

193
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: like a nothing team, like they could win a bunch

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: of games this year despite the schedule.

195
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's a bad team.

196
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's a bad circumstance with

197
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: the schedule. And I do think they're a headwinds for

198
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: billion Apier. I want to I think they want to

199
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: get rid of them. And I would also add that

200
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the sooner you kick up that conversation with Jedfish, the

201
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: more likely you are to get him after one year

202
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: at Washington. Yeah, that's true. If you want to Fish,

203
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: if you want him, just start talking now. You know

204
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: he's willing to listen.

205
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: There is something about Jedfish that like he knows the

206
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: best moving companies. He knows how to find the best

207
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: schools for his kids. He knows like, oh, you know,

208
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: if you're going to buy a new couch, look for this, this,

209
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: and this. Like he knows what to look for if

210
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: you're going to mount your TVs. He knows what to

211
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: look for in terms of curb appeal, Like he's been

212
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: there he's a paying Zillo subscriber. Yes, he knows what

213
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: to look for in a realtor. He knows you know,

214
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: actually I got to leave my house at this time

215
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: because traffic in this area is you know, he knows

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: how to sort of check boxes in terms of what

217
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: to do with moving. He was like, oh, he knows

218
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: where to get packing tape. Yeah, there, I mean there

219
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: is that. Obviously, he goes to Florida and people have

220
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: discussed that being one of his dream jobs allegedly, but

221
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: I think Sam Pittman' still my answer.

222
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: Second question here, let's also.

223
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Go back to Patreon. This is a good one. I'm

224
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: going a little bit out of order. Dan already Okay

225
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: from Marcus, he says, in honor of June, who are

226
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: your top three June years? Okay, Jorne yours college football wise?

227
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I was going to say uncle Junior from

228
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: the Sopranos.

229
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: That's Carmela's Lasagna. I was, you know who?

230
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: Actually, Okay, let's get to college football. Is there a

231
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: standout Quinn essential in your lifetime? Junior across sports, across

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 3: nonsports anything. Freddy Prince junior, Ernie reyis junior from teenage

233
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: mutant terials too. I don't know why he came up.

234
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: Damon Wayne's junior from New Girl, right. I think my

235
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: quinn essential junior other than uncle Junior in sports, I

236
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: think it's still Ken Griffy.

237
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Jr. Yeah, that was the first name that

238
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: came to mind.

239
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: When your dad is also a name in the exact

240
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: thing you're doing. Played for the Yankees, I believe too.

241
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: So big name and you come around and you're the

242
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: kid with your backwards hat, your bashing home runs. I

243
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: think that's my answer.

244
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh, it's absolutely my answer. And as you were talking

245
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: through that, the first thought that came to mind was

246
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Jr.

247
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: It's it's him or Harry Connick. That is obviously obvious.

248
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: Who are your third years or red shirt juniors, whatever

249
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: that just hold a special place in your heart this year?

250
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: If I am picking three, if I am only picking three,

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: which was the question here? Top three? This is subjective, huh?

252
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: But my three the ones that move the needle from me?

253
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Number one Harold Perkins. Okay, Harry Perky, belove it. Harry

254
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Perky here moving back inside. I don't know where he's moving.

255
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: I have no idea what to do with Yeah, I

256
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: don't think he does either. Brian Kelly does. Nobody knows,

257
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Harry Perky special place my heart, if

258
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: only for the nickname. Secondly, Tetoroah McMillan, not to be

259
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: confused with Ta Tyro McMillan. Yeah, what is going on

260
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: with you? This? This twenty twenty four has been a

261
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: weird year for you? I'd say very bad pronunciation year

262
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, Tea mcdeo.

263
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

264
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: And three, I would probably be be inclined to say

265
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: James Pierce from also a junior. I should ad James

266
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Peter from Tennessee. Yeah, an actual junior who if he

267
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: lives up to third year hype, if he ends up

268
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: having the kind of year we thought and stays healthy,

269
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: will be like a top five whatever pick in the

270
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: NFL draft looks will be a next one of the

271
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: next great edge rushers to come out of college. So

272
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: no disrespect to the Will Johnson's and Quinnewers of the world,

273
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: but those are the three for me that as I

274
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: was looking through the list, really really got me going. Okay,

275
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Molroe, great answer, great answer.

276
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: What will he do in a new system? I'm curious,

277
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 3: I'm interested. He has my attention. Kate Klubnick, how about that.

278
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: I've been like mister club level since day one and

279
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: now this is year three. I think that's an interesting junior,

280
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: just in terms of quarterbacks right now, Haines King, I

281
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: think is an interesting junior.

282
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: He's saying top juniors, though, Are these your tops? These

283
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: are your top three?

284
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: Haines King?

285
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I'm interested in these guys. Okay, I'm

286
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: interested in terms of the best juniors in the country.

287
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: Probably not I lean quarterback. With this kind of answer,

288
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: I'm very hopeful if I'm going to be personal with

289
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: it about Jordan James, who I think is going to

290
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: be the new starting running back for Oregon. And I

291
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: think is Ashton Genti a junior as well? Yeah, denty Yeah,

292
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: I think those are gonna be two start and they

293
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: play against each other, I think week two or three

294
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: this season Poise State Oregon. So it's gould be a

295
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: great running back. It was a clash, Yeah, there's baggage

296
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: in that matchup.

297
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Those are my answers. How about that. Let's go to

298
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Twitter and Ben who says that his high school nickname

299
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: or mascot was the wildcats. I'd imagine wildcats are pretvill

300
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: was yours?

301
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: You were the concrete kids with a problematic K.

302
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: Concrete kids, Yeah, spelled k O N K R E

303
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: T E kids K I D S. So you're you're

304
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: classic with a K K K K Yes. Now, apparently

305
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: that is due to some of like the Germanic roots

306
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: in the area, that is the reason it is spelled

307
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: that way. But oh, shocking, any shocking. Anytime, anytime our

308
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: high school was ever publicized for sports or anything else

309
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: out there for people outside the region, they always spelled

310
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: it wrong. They always spelled it wrong. I have heard

311
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: my fair share of comments about the problematic spelling ye

312
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: of my high school's mascot concrete kids. I was a

313
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Northampton concrete kid here, what were you? What was Calabasas coyotes? Oh,

314
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: the coyotes, Kyle Basses coyotes and we you know, called coyotes.

315
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 3: Let's call coyotes that kind of thing the southern California brah.

316
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: We got some folks who just chimed in, not with questions,

317
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: but just wanted to tell us that I was Iron

318
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Sheffield says he was a Mesquite skeeter. I'm assuming Mesquite,

319
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Texas Skeeter class of two thousand, Welcome to the party.

320
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: On Facebook, Jason says, no question, but he was a

321
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: spring Lake Earth Wolverine. Not bad classen eighty five. We

322
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: had a bunch of people chime in. It's like, I

323
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: don't got a question. I just want to tell you

324
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: what my high school was.

325
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: Did somebody have a whether there was a boas or

326
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: pythons or somebody pythons?

327
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have.

328
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's this episode or maybe the

329
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: next one, part two that we're going to do. Pythons

330
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: is a great one. Either way, I appreciate that. Ben

331
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: a Wildcat out on Twitter, says that he and his

332
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: wife have two dogs, Dan. One is named Archie after

333
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: Archie Griffin. The other one is named Mazie m A

334
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I Z E Y, after Michigan's official color. Yeah. Put

335
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: some parentheses here that it's a house divided. What are

336
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: some other good college football related names for pets? I

337
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: looked this up? You did, of course you did.

338
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: The master list of FBS mascot names. Is kind of

339
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: perfect that I wouldn't name your pet, you know, parakeet, dog, cat, iguana,

340
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: whatever after a rival's mascot, or even like an in

341
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: conference team that you kind of don't like mascot. But

342
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: there are so many good mascot names. Hooter, Riptide pouncer

343
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: pouncers at Memphis. Pouncer's a great dog name, Baldwin from BC.

344
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: I like that, Buzz obviously, Georgia tech Ramsey's is a

345
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: great name. Otto is a great pet name. Bruiser. How

346
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: about that with Baylor? I like it, Shasta the Houston Cougar.

347
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: Here is the twist that I'm going to put on this.

348
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 3: You and I.

349
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: We didn't confer any of the stuff beforehand. I love

350
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: sort of like the Little John strategy of naming a pet,

351
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: and by that I mean find the smallest possible dog, Like,

352
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: name your Pomeranian after Bevo.

353
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: Like the Little John. Yeah, the from Robin Hood.

354
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

355
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: It's fine.

356
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: If you've got a Bernise Mountain dog and you want

357
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: to name him Bevo or Herbivo, that's fine. Yeah, but

358
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: I think it gives it an added flare. If you've

359
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: got like a Yorkie and you decide you're gonna name

360
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: the Yorkie Ralphie Jumbo Jumbo, right, you kind of play

361
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: off that size disparity I think that's what I'm good

362
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: with now. I would push back a little bit on Ben.

363
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: Archie isn't exactly like a hugely common name, but I

364
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: definitely have an aversion to naming your dog after a

365
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: common person name, like, don't name your dog John right

366
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: or Kevin. I know, well, I don't know somebody, but

367
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: I met a SAMOI a gigantic male Samoya named Kevin,

368
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: which was kind of funny. But I don't nothing against

369
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: the Kevin's out there who listened to us. I don't

370
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: think you should name your dog a very common person name.

371
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Archie's okay, Ben, I'm okay with this, but I agree

372
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: with you Dan, let's go in the mascot department. Let's

373
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: go players last names. I knew a dog named Rocket once,

374
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: which had a special place in my heart because it

375
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: was a fellow Notre Dame fan, and they named their

376
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: pet after Rocket Ishmael. I like that approach as well.

377
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: We could probably do like six episodes on the whole

378
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: naming strategy of the pet thing, if you're going to

379
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: go in the college football direction. But I would say generally,

380
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: mascot's kind of where it's at for me.

381
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: Go for a find a random team that you feel

382
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: completely neutral about, right, Like, do you have any good

383
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: or bad thoughts about Wisconsin?

384
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: No?

385
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: Like Wisconsin hasn't broken your heart and you don't love Wisconsin.

386
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: You have no near tie. No pun intended to the Badgers,

387
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: right none. Go through a list of that school's coaches,

388
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: go back to like the twenties, thirties and forties, and

389
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: name your pet full name, and make sure that this

390
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: is not a problematic individual. It's just like this guy

391
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 3: happened to be their coach and from nineteen twenty eight

392
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: to nineteen thirty four. Like I have Wisconsin's list of

393
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: coaches from the twenties, thirties and forties. Like, if you

394
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: have a labrador, just name your labrador Glenn Thistlewait, why

395
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: not bring back Barry Alvarez Dan? I love the older

396
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: man names like or older woman names. If you have

397
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: a female dog or whatever at pet and just like,

398
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: that's my dog, that's my lab name Glenn. Like what

399
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: you name your dog Glenn? Yeah, full name is Glenn Thistlewait,

400
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: but that's I think? Or like, find a random eyr

401
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: of a baseball team and name your dog Kevin Elster, Like,

402
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: just go for it. Vince Coleman name one Mets Again.

403
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm not big on naming pets after common people names.

404
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: If you went over to somebody's house and they had

405
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: like a labradoodle, and you're like, oh, that's a that's

406
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: a cute labradoodle. What's his name, and they're like Dave

407
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: maggodin right, you'd be like, would you ever forget that labradoodle?

408
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: I would never forget that, not in a thousand years.

409
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 3: And they'd have to full name talk about that labradoodle.

410
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: It's great.

411
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: I can't even I don't even where to go.

412
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: Yes you can.

413
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: You might not be able to convince solid wife Kate,

414
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 3: but I'd beat Frank Viola the labradoodle.

415
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: All Right, we gotta move on.

416
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: No, we don't sid Fernandez, Wally Whitehurst.

00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Only Whitehurst? Oh my god? Yeah, these are these are

418
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: not college football names, though.

419

Speaker 3: Give me a fine, give me give me a name

432
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: Tie Dudley Short eighteen ninety six Kentucky State College went

433
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: three and six, one and one in the Southern Intercollegiate

434
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: Athletic Association.

435
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to another patriaron question from HCB. Okay, you

436
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: might not want to answer this one. That's the hook

437
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: that got me. Okay, but I just have to ask.

438
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: With all the financial changes in college football, and as

439
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: a fan of a middling Big twelve school, I have

440
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: found my interest in college football has gone from an

441
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: eight on a one to ten scale to maybe a three.

442
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: My question is are you seeing this among your subscribers?

443
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Can you tell if some of the non Power two

444
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: schools fans are struggling like I am, and if you

445
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: really want to be vulnerable as we always are here

446
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: on this show, of course, as it diminished your well

447
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: for the game of college football. Okay, so it's June,

448
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: first of all, So it's easy to be in your

449
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: feelings in June. And I think it's totally defensible to

450
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: be in your feelings about whatever the direction you feel

451
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: like college football is going in, right, correct, I agree

452
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: with that.

453
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 3: My answer is, if you're a fan of a team

454
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: that you're not confident has a place at the table

455
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: or is due to improve anytime soon. I don't know

456
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: if this is who would be a middling Big twelve

457
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: team right now, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech.

458
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.

459
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: Think there's optimism. There's reason for optimism with most teams.

460
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 3: And so if you feel like your team is being

461
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: left behind, first of all, you're in a power conference.

462
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: Well you're already kind of ahead of the game right now.

463
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: And two, give it some time. Give it some time.

464
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: See how you feel during the season, See how you

465
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: feel on Saturdays, see how you feel on Thursday and

466
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: Friday nights, if your team is playing some weeknight action.

467
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: And maybe.

468
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: I presume people still will like football even if they

469
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: don't like the direction of the sport. Like, I think

470
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: that people are still gonna be interested in big games.

471
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: They might not watch as much. They might not watch

472
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: it in the same way. They might not attend games

473
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 3: or tailgate or anything like that in the same way

474
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: if their interest is tamped down a little bit. But

475
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say give it some time during the season.

476
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 3: And I've said this before with people where you just

477
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: like lean into the social element of the sport. If

478
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: you're not gonna if you don't feel as rabbit about

479
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: your team, then invite people over and cook out or

480
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: something like that. And if you're legit not as interested,

481
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: that happens. That happens. People's lives fluctuate ebbs and flows

482
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 3: with your interests, and maybe it's evolving. And college football

483
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: certainly is not the most fan friendly sport. So I yes,

484
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: I think there is that element. I'm worried about how

485
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna feel about W Coast football this season and

486
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 3: you know, lamenting and mourning all that stuff that I

487
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 3: don't get to watch the random Wazoo Arizona game or

488
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: the random Oregon State UCLA that there's all that scar

489
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: tissue is basically done away with outside of you know,

490
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: the four corner schools and LA and Washington Oregon schools

491
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: moving on together that I'm I'm pre bummed about that.

492
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: For sure. This is a great question. I'm I'm glad

493
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: somebody asked it because I think you and I are

494
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: in a unique position to answer it, just because we've

495
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: been having this conversation with our audience for longer than

496
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: anybody in the college football podcasting sphere. We've been at

497
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: this for a long time now, and we have had

498
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: the chance to witness along the way some of those

499
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: moments where I think fans felt left out as the

500
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: sport changed, or fans lost interest because, let's say, factors

501
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: beyond their control. We were doing this when the playoffs started,

502
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: and I remember similar reactions back in twenty thirteen whenever

503
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: that was yeah, COVID. COVID was awful for a gazillion

504
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: different reasons, But the most important one, you're gonna claim

505
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: it now, I'm going to say, at the very bottom

506
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: of that list, at the very very bottom of that list,

507
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: was how it affected college football. Sure, our listeners were

508
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: very conflicted about celebrating football a mid a pandemic. We were,

509
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: as well, the one two punch now of the transfer

510
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: rules and nil. That has been an ongoing dilemma that

511
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: people have struggled with. We've struggled with it at times.

512
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: And now certainly massive conference realignment, the expanded playoff, the

513
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: growing emphasis on money, as HCB asked in his or

514
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: her question, all of that has definitely had an effect.

515
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: The sense that I get from the verballer hood is

516
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't know how to feel that.

517
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: It's really easy to be conflicted now cheering for something

518
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: that feels almost completely different from what it once was.

519
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: That's not even a college football thing, Dan, that's just

520
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: like a life in general thing.

521
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

522
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: It has impacted everybody to some extent, each of us

523
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: a little bit differently. As you mentioned earlier, we hate

524
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: the fact, we both do that the PAC twelve is gone,

525
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, we still root

526
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: for teams that will benefit from this new system. I

527
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's affected me that much. It has

528
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: not diminished my love for the game. It has made

529
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: me more cynical, yeah, more cynical about the powers that

530
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: be in the forces that are controlling college football. But

531
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's diminished my love for it and

532
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: what I've seen has been an overwhelming state of verballers

533
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: who are in conflict trying to piece this all together.

534
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: One thing I have been thinking a lot about, though,

535
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of along the same lines, and I may write

536
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: something about this. I haven't figured out exactly how I

537
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: want to address it, but it's really been stuck in

538
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: my craw Like we've been doing these videos for anyone

539
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: who hasn't followed us yet on social media. This is

540
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: not me begging free to follow us, but we've been

541
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: doing doing a lot of work researching and appreciating some

542
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: of the finer points of college football, the odd traditions,

543
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: the weird things that give it its charm. One of

544
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: the constants that we've discussed on this show, and that

545
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I think we've found separately as we've gone through our research,

546
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: is that a lot of this stuff happens by accident. Sure,

547
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: it's almost exclusively by accident. These weird traditions that we

548
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: speak of happen because somebody had a goofy idea, and

549
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: other people thought the goofy idea was fun, and now

550
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: they're doing it seventy five years later. I'm not trying

551
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: to be a sunshine pumper here, and I get that.

552
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this and people are probably going

553
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to roll their eyes, but I am holding out hope

554
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: that despite all of this negative black cloud effect that

555
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: we've had, because the sport has changed so rapidly and

556
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: it feels like it's different now, I am hopeful that

557
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: we're going to get some happy accidents out of this

558
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: new system. We will, we will, We'll.

559
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: We got some new bad blood like we got when

560
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: Texas A and m joyed the SEC and they go

561
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: to seven overtimes to whatever with LSU and there's anger

562
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: on the field after and punch is thrown. There's all

563
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff that will spring up with new

564
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: matchups and whatever.

565
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: But it's it's for It feels like it's for the

566
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: wrong It feels like it's for the wrong reason. And look,

567
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: I hear that point of view. I get that point

568
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: of view. I don't disagree with that point of view.

569
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm not going like full Joel

570
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: Klatt here where I'm going to go on my show

571
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: and say this is great for the fans, this is

572
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: what everybody wants. And I'm not being paid by Fox

573
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: at least, which yes, exactly. Yeah, so I'm going to

574
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: be honest here and say it's made me cynical. I

575
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: understand where people are coming from, and I'm going to

576
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: hold out hope that the sport continues on the path

577
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: that it's been on for the last hundred or so

578
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: odd years and we get goofy things that emerge from

579
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: whatever system, yeah, is in place. That is what I

580
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: am hopeful for. May happen, may not, but hopefu if

581
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that does occur, that can help rekindle the fire for

582
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: some folks who are taking that weight and see approach.

583
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's just that that element of you

584
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: miss the familiarity, and maybe new things will become familiar.

585
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, them being taken away from us and having

586
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: to read about well, these schools, these are the average ratings,

587
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: and they have this many games in which two million

588
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: people watch, and they have this many Instagram followers, and

589
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: their brand is this strong. So it makes sense that, oh,

590
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: well they're academics.

591
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: Are those like it?

592
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: Just I'm only speaking for me, but it all seems

593
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: so beside the point when I get it. Point has

594
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: always been like the variety and the breadth of the

595
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: geography and the madness that this sport always seems to

596
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: bring and you're right that will get new stuff. We

597
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: absolutely will get new stuff, and I just hope that

598
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: the cost isn't overwhelming for all the new stuff.

599
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: For our own sanity. Yeah, we're going to try to

600
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: focus on the highlights on this show. We're going to

601
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: try not to drone on too much about the negative

602
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully you can find your community here with us. Yeah. Agree,

603
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Facebook and Sam, who has a great

604
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: question here, does the portal possibly make it easier or

605
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: harder for non traditional powers to improve? And he cites

606
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Boise State over the last two one dollars just as

607
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: an example to which I would say yes, and yes,

608
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think it's really difficult if you

609
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: are not Ohio State, if you are a Pitt, the

610
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: example that I always use and I love Pitt Pitt

611
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: is in my state, can confirm it's really hard. You

612
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: will always have, I think, in this new era, an

613
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: influx of guys who are looking for playing time. And likewise,

614
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: as we've seen the last couple seasons, you are certainly

615
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: going to see high end talent that the sides they

616
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: want to take their talent elsewhere, either for money or

617
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: better exposure or better coaching or look, I can't put

618
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: myself in any of their heads, but looking for better

619
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: opportunities the business decision, if you will. And I think

620
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: it is incredibly difficult to walk that balance. If you

621
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: are Pat NARDOZI someone like him, I don't know how

622
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: you do that. I suspect you need to get very,

623
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: very sharp when it comes to pooral recruiting and managing

624
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: your roster in advance as much as you can, trying

625
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: to find some way to understand who might leave, who

626
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: might stay. I don't know how you manage a roster.

627
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: My sense is to say that it's harder. It's harder

628
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: for the non traditional powers to improve. I think they

629
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: will always get guys, But the question is is the

630
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: talent that they're getting better than the talent that they're

631
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: losing on most years? And I think that's sort of

632
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: like the secret sauce if you can figure that out.

633
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So a couple things for a number of teams

634
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: in the bigger of the G five conferences, so Mountain

635
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: West and American. Over the last ten to fifteen years,

636
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: the absolute powers in those conferences have been brought up

637
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: to power conferences.

638
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: So you look at.

639
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: Who the American has lost recently a playoff team in

640
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 3: Cincinnati the Mountain West overtime with TCU and Utah leaving,

641
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 3: So technically speaking, it is a little bit easier to

642
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: win without them. Now you add in the portal element,

643
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: which is the root of this question, and I think

644
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: it's it's sort of an investment question of who you're

645
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: willing to buy low on from Power five teams that

646
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: haven't played, and so there's this shuffling among the top

647
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: of Power five teams that they're like always trying to

648
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: recruit over their current roster, whether that's through the portal

649
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: or whether that's through high school. So in terms of

650
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: poise state, they add I think a Washington transfer, an

651
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: LSU transfer, And the biggest name transfer that they added

652
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: in this cycle is Alkai Nelson from USC, who for

653
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: whatever reason saw the writing on the wall that he

654
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be a long term starter for USC football,

655
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: or did not or they told him he was not

656
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 3: going to be a long term starter. For whatever reason,

657
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: his potential didn't flash, or it was not a mix

658
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: or you know, a match of culture, whatever, and so

659
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: his high end talent is now going to be at

660
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: Poise State. And so for a number of these places,

661
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: I think geography matters where you have the.

662
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: Option to come back home.

663
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: Like USF that there's a lot of talent from Florida

664
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: that finds its way to major places and for whatever

665
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: reason it doesn't work out, or they're merely pretty good

666
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: and they were expecting them to be excellent and they

667
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: want to play, And there's us F saying like, yeah,

668
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: we could definitely use you at corner. We could definitely

669
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: use a right guard of your caliber, even though you

670
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 3: haven't really played at Michigan, at Tennessee, at wherever. We

671
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: see the potential in you and they offer something and

672
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: that is the hope of over recruiting or recruiting over

673
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 3: their current roster based on high school potential or something

674
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: like that. So there is that opportunity. You are probably

675
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: getting those high level power five backups at a discount

676
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 3: because they want playing time. And so there is that

677
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: opportunity if you're in Texas, if you're in the South,

678
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: if you're in southern California at a place like San

679
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: Diego State or something like that, and somebody has the

680
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 3: option to come back home and get a bunch of

681
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: playing time but at the same time, if you find

682
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: somebody really good in high school and you develop them

683
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 3: after a year or two and their price tag is

684
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: through the roof, it makes it more difficult. And so

685
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: I'd say there's opportunity, but you're gonna have do a

686
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: lot more due diligence as to find out why that

687
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: player at a major place, why that safety at Ohio

688
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: State didn't work out and is willing to transfer to

689
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: you at Tulane or something like that. But I think

690
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: there's opportunity. I think it's a lot of work, and

691
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 3: I think these are places without a ton of manpower

692
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: to sit there grinding the tape of you know, and

693
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: doing the due diligence and calling position coaches and strength

694
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: coaches to say why didn't it work out? Why didn't

695
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: he develop as that safety at Ohio State? And you

696
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: might get an answer of like, great kid, pretty good prospect,

697
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: not of our caliber, we feel, but thinks that there's

698
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 3: potential there. And that's the hope that you can build

699
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: your roster and find enough of those guys via the

700
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: portal at a discount that you can continue to compete

701
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: and replace players who have been poached from your own roster.

702
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: It's just like, not every guy is Ashton jin who

703
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: decided he's going to stay at Boise State, right, And

704
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: more often than not, you're having these guys known quantities

705
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: that you know are key contributors leaving and you're forced

706
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: to replace them either with guys with far less on

707
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: field time or guys who are transferring because they were

708
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: backups elsewhere. That just makes it really hard. That's why

709
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit harder than it is easier.

710
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: I think there will be instances. I know there will

711
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: be instances where on occasion you'll have a school pop.

712
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: It'll all work, it'll be great, it'll be fun, you'll

713
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: have that.

714
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 3: But you take you're still taking that chance, right, You're

715
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: still taking the chance that like, yeah, it's a crap shake.

716
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: Hayner is a legit Power five quarterback who when Jacob

717
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 3: Eason beat him out, was like, this is BS, I'm leaving.

718
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 3: And I think he tried to come back for Kaitlin

719
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,479
Speaker 3: de Borr and follow him to Washington and didn't work out,

720
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 3: but was absolutely and beat UCLA. Was absolute warrior for

721
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 3: Fresno State. But you are if you're the Bulldogs and

722
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 3: Jeff Tedford taking a chance on him that it's going

723
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: to work out.

724
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike on Patreon. He says, everyone has

725
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: college football twenty five thoughts on their mind, and I'm

726
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: getting way too excited for it myself. I do not

727
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: have a modern gaming platform and am expecting to purchase

728
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: whatever I need to fire up the game. I also

729
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: have college friends from way back in the that this

730
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: game will help me reconnect to. So he goes on

731
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: in this question and he's asking us which platform should

732
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: I buy? Will there be a dynasty among the pass continue? Yeah,

733
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: he's asking some very specific questions. We're not going to

734
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: tell you what platform to buy unless we've got a

735
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of questions about that. Less, we are going to

736
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: put something together. We are going to put something together.

737
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: You and I both have PS five, so whatever that's

738
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: worth to you, just know that whatever we would put

739
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: together would be a PS five thing. If Microsoft comes

740
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: in with a sponsorship, that answer changes. Well, yeah, of course.

741
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: If Microsoft and Sonya is like, we cannot let the

742
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: solid verbal get away.

743
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: Yes, well that would be different and we will disclose.

744
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I think the bigger question here, though, yeah, is how

745
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: you convince your significant other to let you buy a console,

746
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: or how you convince some of your cheap o buddies

747
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: to buy a new system, which I think is actually

748
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: the harder ask. I think Mike touches on the best

749
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: marketing pitch right in this question where he says, I

750
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: also have college friends from way back in the oughts

751
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: that this game will help me reconnect to. I have

752
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: read some online discourse from folks talking up this very point,

753
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: and the stories, to be honest, have been really cool.

754
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: It has been really cool, and it seems as if

755
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: there is this ground swell of support for using this

756
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: game as a way to connect with old friends. And

757
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: so I think if you're in the position of man,

758
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: there's a big price tag on this thing. I want

759
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: to play the game. I want to get the dynasty going.

760
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: I want to get the group the band back together

761
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: and play this thing and we can use it to

762
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: like reconnect on a fun new level. I think that

763
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: is the approach that I would take reconnecting with old friends.

764
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: So you got to all decide which or if you've

765
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: got young ones. If you've got young ones, maybe tapping

766
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: into the tradition of you know, I used to play

767
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: this game me very meaningful for you got young ones

768
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: go outside. We go outside. But I'm just trying to

769
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: help people out there who might find themselves in I

770
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: know pickle Kate plays video games, right she does? Yeah?

771
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,959
Speaker 3: Oh you should? What you should do? Here's my marriage tip.

772
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: Pro marriage tip. Teach Kate how to play college football

773
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: twenty five when it comes out, and like go through

774
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: the fundamentals and just the full sort of outline of

775
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 3: the game, because she's obviously familiar with sports. And then

776
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 3: just destroy her all the time and the confidence. And

777
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure she'll be cool with it. Just obliterate seventy

778
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 3: seven to three all the time.

779
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: How fun would that? My friend? You? I know?

780
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: No, So Mike's question is which console should he buy?

781
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: He's asking what he should buy. I don't think we

782
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: shoul tell him what to buy. I'm just telling him

783
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: what we have.

784
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: How do you convince your old friends just that you

785
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: come up with a schedule and you what you have

786
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: to do is you have to really in earnest figure

787
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 3: out like what everybody's realistic commitment to a dynasty is.

788
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: Because you don't want to be waiting around all the

789
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: time for somebody who can never play. So you have

790
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: to figure out some sort of schedule where it's just

791
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: like Saturday at six am we're rolling, or Friday at

792
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: nine pm we're rolling, and everybody's on headphones or speakerphone

793
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: or discord or however you want to do it, and

794
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: you just have that standing weekly appointment.

795
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: Not everybody's been able.

796
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 3: To play four days a week or whatever and buzz

797
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: through a dynasty quickly. I think the best way is

798
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 3: to side on a console, decide on a schedule, and

799
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: decide on a seriousness level, and decide on like a

800
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: ridiculous once a year banquet or something. If you all

801
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: live in different places, figure out some way to all

802
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: come together and go to a brewery or something and

803
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 3: honor the champion and make fun of the person who

804
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 3: came in last place. Figure out a way to bring

805
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 3: real life into it.

806
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: I think was it Shane Gillis who went on PMT

807
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: and he was talking about renting a house with somebodies

808
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: to play a din dream over the weekend's dream.

809
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: To do that with my college friends, To do that

810
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 3: with West Coast Kevin, do with my little brother Alex,

811
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: who I've played with the most, to do it with you,

812
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: and just like rent a house somewhere cheap, get a

813
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: giant projector or something like that, have like a standing

814
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: food delivery appointment for a long weekend, and just not

815
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: sleep that.

816
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, your brother, I bet your brother's very intense about

817
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: this game.

818
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: He's good. He's NFL more than he is college, but

819
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: never really played a lot of Madden. So we would

820
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: do a lot of Oregon Washington games because he went

821
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: to Washington, and so I lived with him after college

822
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 3: for a little while, and like he'd always come over

823
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: like so that was the natural. I never really got

824
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 3: into huge dynasties, but playing friends, playing people online, that

825
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: was always fun for me.

826
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: Rowell wants to know, with Northwestern playing most of its

827
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: home games in a repurposeful cross stadium that fits fifteen

828
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: thousand fans and is literally on the shores of Lake Michigan,

829
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: what kind of home field advantage will just give the Cats?

830
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: If any you made a video about this, Dan, you

831
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: are dead. You are a stone's throw from this portable stadium.

832
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: What are your initial impressions of what the atmosphere will

833
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: be like? Will it give them any kind of advantage?

834
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Will there be a wicked crosswind coming in off the lake?

835
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: What are what are expectations for this field? Okay, it's

836
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: like twenty feet from the lake, it's really close.

837
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 2: Is there a possibility that.

838
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: A ball will end up in the lake?

839
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: Oh?

840
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, that would be cool.

841
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: An errant punt in the lake one hundred percent happening

842
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: unless they set up some sort of like third baseline

843
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 3: like netting.

844
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: At Okay, it's one hundred percent going to happen.

845
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: You combine recent Big Ten quarterback play with the winds

846
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 3: coming off of lake mission, Yes, there's going to be

847
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 3: somebody who just throws the ball out of bounds on

848
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: third and long to you know, live to play another

849
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: down late in the game, is going to launch it

850
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: out of bounds and the wind will carry it.

851
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: That will happen. That's awesome. See, this is what I

852
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: was talking about earlier with weird nuances.

853
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: In this new era, you get you have potential because

854
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: it's right next to the athletic facilities in the football facility,

855
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 3: literally right next to it. It overlooks it for some

856
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 3: sort of like Wrigly Field like chairs on the roof

857
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: to get a good view. There's that element to it. Yeah.

858
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 3: We remember the Ohio State game from a couple of

859
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: years ago. I think it was a CJ. Stroud game

860
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 3: the wind where you have crazy wins. You already had

861
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 3: the Ryan Field advantage of everywhere these big ten teams go,

862
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 3: it's this big, hulking loud stadium, right, these overwhelming big

863
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,479
Speaker 3: house Beaver Stadium, Ohio Stadium. That you go to Ryan

864
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 3: Field and it's like I can hear everything. Yeah, I

865
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 3: can hear people in the parking lot on an important

866
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 3: third down. And so there was that like ephis element

867
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 3: to the old Ryan Field and there it's fully flattened.

868
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: Now they're rebuilding it. So now it's gonna be even

869
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 3: less because the win there's gonna be no, you can't

870
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 3: hear any crowd, right, it's wide open and it's freezing.

871
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: So the home field advantage for Northwestern is going to

872
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: be that Ephis. And it's also I imagine Northwestern is

873
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 3: going to try to run the hell out of the

874
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 3: ball where they are gonna throw it with Mikey right

875
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 3: downfield on the lake, and so maybe they're better prepared

876
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: to have a creative offense in which they don't need

877
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: to throw it downfield a ton that they're going into

878
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 3: the season knowing that like We're just not going to

879
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 3: be that team. And then they finish out the season

880
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: in Wrigley in November. I think it's what Michigan and

881
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 3: Ohio State are both in regally at least in November

882
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: after the baseball season ends, and so it's just gonna

883
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 3: be freezing in Chicago probably in November. And so yeah,

884
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: they're going to build a team that, for better or worse,

885
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 3: is not going to chance the fortune of their season

886
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 3: on a big, downfield passing game. It's mean a lot

887
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: of I think it's Cam Porter the running back for Northwestern,

888
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 3: so the field won't be weird. It's just gonna be

889
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 3: like I don't know if you know what Davis Cup

890
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: is the tennis. Of course, of course, sure, you strategically

891
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 3: schedule your matches somewhere and on some surface that's gonna

892
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: be dis it's gonna be a disadvantage for your opponent

893
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: coming in. So it's gonna be like, well, the Canadian

894
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 3: team is going down to Chile and they're playing in

895
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 3: a remote place that's hard to get to. There's no accommodations.

896
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 3: They're playing on real, real thick clay, and that's that's

897
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 3: what Northwestern is going to have and so they'll be

898
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 3: prepared for it. You know, the field is the field,

899
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 3: you know, the hash markers of the hash markers, the

900
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 3: uprights of the uprights, but the wind is going to

901
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 3: be sticky. You're gonna see some thirteen to ten affairs

902
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 3: in October.

903
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: Larry and Sharon Martin Stadium.

904
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, so I was there. There is

905
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: zero construction. So we're about two to three months, two

906
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 3: and a half months out from the season starting.

907
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like.

908
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: A carnival where they roll up with the ferris wheel

909
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: a week before.

910
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: And look, maybe that's all it's needed for, like temporary bleachers,

911
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: but I think there has to be some kind of

912
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 3: press box and somebody's gonna have to announce the game

913
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: from somewhere, and there are major donors who expect some

914
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 3: sort of sweet experience of some kind, so there has

915
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 3: to be some sort of construction at some point soon.

916
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: Literally zero walked onto the field. Nobody in the area.

917
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: I mean it's summer schools out, so that kind of

918
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 3: makes sense. But nothing going, nothing doing.

919
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: Zachary Out on Twitter, who says he was a Golden

920
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 1: Eagle back in Great High School, which is more likely

921
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: to happen a G five team wins a playoff game

922
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: against a healthy opponent, or a non Big ten se

923
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: seed team wins the title, And does either happen in

924
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties.

925
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 3: Which teams do you think have a realistic chance of

926
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 3: either of those?

927
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: If we're looking at it objectively, the question to me

928
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: is basically asking which happens first, Florida State or Clemson

929
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: winning a national championship in the new system, or a

930
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: G five team knocking off a healthy opponent in the playoffs.

931
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: And like, I think the healthy opponent in this case

932
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: is probably the number five team in the country. In

933
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: most cases, that G five team is going to be

934
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: the lowest seed in the tournament playing against the number

935
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:25,479
Speaker 1: five team.

936
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I would throw Miami into that conversation because at

937
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: least they recruit, Okay, on the level of a national

938
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 3: championship contender. If you're stringing together top ten classes. Hypothetically,

939
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 3: Mario Christobal could get it right, could nail quarterback, could

940
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 3: nail everything.

941
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: So let's put it this way. Then, if we're really

942
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: going to dumb this down, is it more likely that

943
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: it's Florida State, Clemson or Miami winning a title, no

944
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: offense to the Big twelve. I just don't know who's

945
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: good in the Big twelve right right? Well, who's going

946
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: to recruit on that line? Who's going to recruit on

947
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: that level? So one of those three ACC teams win

948
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: a title first, or Tulane going to Bryant Denny Stadium

949
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: and beating Alabama, which is more likely. I mean who

950
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: are like?

951
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 3: So, who are the G five teams right now that

952
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: you think could build a team that's competitive with a

953
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: playoff team?

954
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: Boys, I think tu.

955
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 3: Lane is a good answer. Like i'd hear out San

956
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 3: Diego State State. Here's a wildcard. You ready for my

957
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 3: wild card if you took the I mean Boise as

958
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 3: a first year permanent head coach in Spencer Danielson. But

959
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 3: of the proven G five coaches at their play, which

960
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 3: is not many that are that have been out their place,

961
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 3: I think the ultimate wild card for a G five

962
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 3: team to win a game.

963
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: Is air Force.

964
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: Oh, they've built good defenses, really really good defenses, and

965
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: have an offense that on its right day as you

966
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 3: refuse to continue to believe Georgia Tech is an Orange

967
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 3: Bowl champion running the option. Yeah, I think that is

968
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 3: an interesting opportunity that. Let's say you have an overinflated

969
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 3: Big twelve team that makes the playoff, Well, I guess look,

970
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: if they're the Big twelve champion, they're getting a buye.

971
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: So you have maybe it's the number five team, but

972
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 3: they're beat up and they're not taking air force lightly,

973
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 3: not taking air force seriously.

974
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: That to me is an interesting answer.

975
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 3: It's so matchup dependent. It's a crazy matchup dependence here.

976
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: I don't know I'd be inclined to say a non

977
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: Big ten or SEC team wins it first. But I

978
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: do think, if I'm being honest, that David versus Goliath

979
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: matchup that we're going to see every year is one

980
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: bit of that charm that I've referenced a couple times now.

981
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: In this new system, Getting that in a meaningful postseason

982
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: game is going to be very compelling. Yeah, super compelling.

983
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that the G five ranks have been drained, right,

984
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 3: Cincinnati's in the Big twelve. The hard part, Yeah, that's

985
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: the hard They've been drained to a certain extent, especially

986
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 3: the American where like UCF would have been an easy answer,

987
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 3: Fresno's an interesting answer. If Jeff Tedford can nail quarterback

988
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: once again in the next few years, and he's not

989
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 3: young himself. That you do need to build that roster,

990
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 3: and Fresno can build a roster with perhaps some P

991
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 3: four transfers. Almost said P five it's weird. I am

992
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 3: still I'm gonna say because the field is bigger with

993
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 3: G five and because there is some home field weirdnesses.

994
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 3: Because you could also here's what you could also get.

995
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: Right.

996
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: So let's say Penn State is the Big ten runner up,

997
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: but they're great and they finished fifth in the country.

998
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 3: That's reasonable. They host name your team Fresno air Force,

999
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: two lane whatever, and it's December twentieth ish, it's absolute winter.

1000
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 3: Then what happens in some sort of northern state and

1001
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 3: then you're like, first team to eleven wins. I don't

1002
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: know why it is that eleven first team to thirteen, first

1003
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: team to seventeen. I don't know that changes a little bit.

1004
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: What's your answer? Is your answer than the G five team?

1005
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 3: I think my answer is the G five. I think

1006
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 3: winning one game is just going to be easier than

1007
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 3: winning multiple games. That's limiting it to basically three games.

1008
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: Two questions left here, Dan, Two questions left Okay. This

1009
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: one comes to us from Tyler out on Instagram, who

1010
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: says that his high school mascot the Whippets. Ooh, okay,

1011
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: the medium sized British breed, not to be confused with

1012
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: nitrous oxide. Dan, whatever you need? Yeah, he said, what

1013
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: are the three best and worst P four Power four

1014
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: coaches to have on your side in a bar fight? Dan?

1015
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: So, look, we've gotten every incarnation.

1016
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: Of co probably had this question three times.

1017
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't think we have.

1018
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: I remember the coach questions very well.

1019
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 3: Oh, we've had coaches fighting. We've had like Ray the

1020
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 3: cage type questions about coaches.

1021
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: I put some thought into this one. Most of the time,

1022
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: if somebody sends us a coach question, I don't really

1023
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: think too much about it, because, like you said, we've

1024
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: had every garden variety coach question at this point. Okay,

1025
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: this one got me three best, three worst. I want Biff,

1026
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: but he's not P four, right, Iff is not P four.

1027
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: I did think of Biff. Yeah, I think the first

1028
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: one that I go to is Dan Lanning in which direction? Good,

1029
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: best or worst? Okay, you've seen I've seen, We've all

1030
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: seen the crazy look that that.

1031
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: Small school Missouri linebacker intensity.

1032
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: We've seen the crazy look that dude's got in his eyes. Okay,

1033
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: so having him by my side in the bar fight,

1034
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: it's not bad. I would also add Breton Venables. It

1035
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: seems like a total wild card to me. We've seen

1036
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: enough of him on the sidelines to appreciate that he

1037
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: may be a total lunatic. Yeah, a lot of get

1038
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: back needs. Yeah, and he's the kind he's the kind

1039
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: of guy who like cuts himself with the broken bottle

1040
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: on purpose, just to intimidate you. Yeah, Brand Vannibles is

1041
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: also on that roster. You also need somebody who I

1042
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: think exudes some degree of calmness but also could hold

1043
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 1: his own, which is why I call up Kyle Whittingham.

1044
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: Looks like he's an impeccable shape at sixty four, perhaps

1045
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: the old man's strength there. Yeah, has the calmness about

1046
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: him to break up the fight, to hold back Venables

1047
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: and Landing Word knows what they're gonna do, But doesn't

1048
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: seem like the kind of dude you want to piss off.

1049
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: Like if you took a swing at Kyle Whittingham, I

1050
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: think he can knock you out cold. Okay, those would

1051
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: be the three that came to mind. I also threw

1052
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: James Franklin, and here he didn't ask for a fourth.

1053
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: But James Franklin would come in handy just because he's

1054
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: good enough to talk his way out of it. Okay,

1055
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: you know he's Yeah, he's got he's got sort of

1056
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: the gift of gab in that respect, he could get

1057
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: you out of it without any kind of punches being exchanged.

1058
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, I would want large dudes who

1059
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 3: had a mean streak while playing. If there were former players,

1060
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 3: I think Brett Bielomo would have your back no matter what.

1061
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a good enough fight, but

1062
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: I think he's dedicated. He's committed to the bit. Like

1063
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart was a hard hitting safety.

1064
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart was a hard hitting safety. Like I thought

1065
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: about Marcus Freeman. But Marcus Freeman seems like more of

1066
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: a lover than a fighter.

1067
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 3: Clark Lee fullback. He'll get in there. Absolutely, we'll get

1068
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 3: in there.

1069
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: Clark Lee would Clarkly would take a few swing.

1070
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: I can.

1071
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 3: It's easier for me to answer who I wouldn't want.

1072
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want Lincoln Riley, he would just run right.

1073
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 3: I don't want Deon Sanders, just because I know he's

1074
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 3: injured and sadly, I don't want him in a fight.

1075
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be more injured. He's got

1076
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: a bad foot. Brian Kelly would not have your back

1077
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: under any circumstance. Brian Kelly would be tough. Kenny Dillingham

1078
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: and Eli Drinkwitz. Kenny Dillingham small. I think they would

1079
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: do a lot of talking and get you decked. Yeah, indirectly,

1080
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't want either of those guys in. I'd

1081
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: take Bob with me. He runs hot from Boston, tough guy, tough.

1082
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: Dudetely, my number one is still Biff if Bogy, yeah,

1083
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 3: no question in my mind. Yeah, mean streets of Baltimore, sleeveless, Yeah,

1084
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore definitely.

1085
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: Final question here from Twitter. This is Brian m who

1086
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: says he was a Mustang. Okay, this one's for you Dan.

1087
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: On two fronts, what type of pizza would Dylan Gabriel

1088
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: be assuming he were a pizza Yeah, you're a pizza connoisseur.

1089
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: Between the two of us, you're also an English the

1090
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: smaller guy. You're not gonna go with the obvious pineapple

1091
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: or Hawaiian pizza.

1092
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, uh accurate crispy. That's where I

1093
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 3: would go with it. So you know, maybe some sort

1094
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 3: of like tavern cut with crispy crust something like that.

1095
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: Not thick.

1096
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 3: He's a little bit thick, but not thick like you

1097
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: would want a bigger quarterback to represent Detroit or something

1098
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 3: like that. So yeah, crispy tavern cut with some spice

1099
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 3: break easily, right. The cracker crust does break eas easily,

1100
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 3: very like the thinnest of thin.

1101
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: Crust that you can get at Pizza Hut. Not a

1102
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: sponsor could be.

1103
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 3: That'd be tough for me if they were a sponsor,

1104
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 3: although nobody else pizza's the Hut.

1105
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: And I do like the.

1106
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 3: Pizza Hut sauce, or at least I remember liking it.

1107
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 3: I don't really have a Pizza Hut near me anymore.

1108
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 3: I remember liking their sauce like Breadlick's the best. Let

1109
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 3: me tell you this, ty, I know I'm a snob

1110
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: about pizza and food and all that stuff. What is

1111
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 3: better than finding yourself with extra time at an airport

1112
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 3: and having a personal pan pizza option there like and

1113
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 3: it's right out it like it slides down the chute right,

1114
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: they just made it.

1115
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: Giving me some serious booket vibes from back in the

1116
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: elementary school days.

1117
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: I love a personal pan pizza. Yeah, I haven't had

1118
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 3: one since nineteen ninety three, but my memories of a

1119
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: personal pan pizza are so fun, especially fresh down the shoote.

1120
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: It was a special moment growing up that was specially

1121
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: you went to pizza, you got the personal pan pizza.

1122
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 3: So maybe that's what it is, right, Dylan Gabriel. A

1123
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: little bit of thickness, a little bit crispy, has that

1124
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 3: dual threat, but very special, very special, smaller, very special

1125
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 3: Pizza Hut, personal panm Pizza, Dylan Gabriel. Perhaps with some pepperoni,

1126
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 3: a little spice. There you go, Brian, that's my answer,

1127
