1 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: We had the Dion tax in college football this past year. Ooh, 2 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: they got the Capon Clark tax in the WNBA. I 3 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: guess this concept is pretty universal in the modern age 4 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: of technology. You learned that, Hey, free speech is a 5 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: great thing. Technology means a lot of people can hear 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: a lot of different voices, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, terrible. You 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: gotta take the good with the bad. I guess we 8 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: took it with Dion Sanders. Do you remember how many 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: people started talking about college football, who you knew good 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: and well could barely spell college football. They couldn't tell 11 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: you the mascot of Arizona State, But all of a 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: sudden they knew what was best for college football and 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: how Dion Sanders was going to revolutionize it. And you 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: found yourself. You can hear me right now. I got 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: my hands over my face. You found yourself in this 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: weird situation because you want to defend Dion. Like if 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: you're like me, I can tell you the situation I 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: was in. I like Dion, got no problem with him. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: I think he's done really good things. I still do 20 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: at Colorado. And then he starts to garner the kind 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: of attention that transcends the sport. So then people from 22 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: the outside come in and instead of just speaking reasonably 23 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: about Dion and saying, hey, he's got Colorado in conversations, 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: they normally aren't. They got a long way to go. 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: He's trying to do some very radical things in terms 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: of talent acquisition, you know, basically just measured logical takes. 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: You got someone who comes in from left field saying 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: Dion's gonna win the Big Twelve. Well, then you have 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: to fight against that because obviously they weren't gonna win 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. And then you get labeled a Dion 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: hater when you're still speaking the obvious, which is no, 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 1: he's not close. They're not close to winning the Big twelve. 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Will you just hate Dion? No? I have functioning eyeballs, man. 34 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: I just see, by the way, who are you? Where 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: did you come from? So, yeah, you guys have fun 36 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: with that in the WNBA. We got plenty to discuss 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: over here on our own, in our little backyard of 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: college football. Hey, it's a loaded mail bag. It's the 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: LAK Extra podcast. I do this version once a week. 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: It's all mailbag. It's just you submitting questions and me 41 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: trying to give you the best answers I can. A 42 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: lot of it's college football, some of it's not college football. 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll get it started here. Robert from Fort Wright, Kentucky. 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Why is it a big deal for teams to play 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: two or three times? We've already had years where teams 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: played twice and it was great. In my opinion, the 47 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: Committee won't let conference matchups be first round games, just 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: like they didn't in the four team era. Two teams 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: playing Week fourteen and the conference championship is fine in 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: my opinion. Let's unpack this first off. And I could 51 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: be wrong about this, so check me on this. I 52 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: don't know that there's a rule out there that says 53 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: the Committee's not gonna let conference matchups be first round 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: games in the playoff. Basically, what he's saying is if 55 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: it lined up where Alabama was gonna play Texas A 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: and M in the first round, the Committe would say, yeah, 57 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: but they're from the SEC, so we can't do that. 58 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a rule that says that 59 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: at all. So there's that. I think we very well 60 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: could get those matchups in the first round. But beyond that, 61 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: what Robert's talking about is something I don't like. So 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 1: he and I disagree on that, and that's the long 63 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: and short of it. I think it's ridiculous. I think 64 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: it's very lame when teams play in Week fourteen and 65 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: then playing the conference championship six days later. This is 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: the Ohio State Michigan scenario. A lot of people are 67 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: throwing this around. I am two. Ohio State plays Michigan 68 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: last game of the year. To my knowledge, they're not 69 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: moving that game to earlier in the year. I don't 70 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: know that to be true forever, but to my knowledge, 71 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: they haven't. They haven't even broached that subject. So they 72 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: play Week fourteen, Okay, they very well could turn around 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: and play six days later for the Big Ten Championship 74 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: this year. That could happen. In previous years, it couldn't 75 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: because they had divisions. The Big Ten no longer has divisions, 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: so that could happen. All right, let's just stop right there. 77 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Robert says, if two teams played Week fourteen and the 78 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: conference championship, that's fine in my opinion. Well, it's fine 79 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: in a sense that it would happen. It's fine in 80 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: a sense that I would watch and by the way, 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: this whole notion that you should base whether a decision 82 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: is good or bad for college football by whether people 83 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: watch if so dumb. I don't know if you've noticed this. 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: Some of you may be using this logic. I don't 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: like it, the logic of I present an idea, you 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: push back against it, and I say, well, you'll watch it, though, yeah, 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: I watch it. There's no alternative. What are you talking about. 88 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: It's not like there's three other leagues of college football 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: out there for me to choose from. You serve terrible 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: food in the lunch room when I'm in third grade, 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: Well you're gonna eat it? Well, yeah, I'm eating it. 92 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: What else am I gonna do? It's college football? In 93 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: my mind, there is no choice for me. I don't 94 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: turn away from this sport. It's the sport I love. 95 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: So in this world, yeah, Robert, in that sense, you 96 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: put the game in week fourteen, you play it six 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: days later, I'll watch a lot of people would watch. 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: Does that make it best for the game. I don't 99 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: think so. And then there's a world where they turn 100 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: around and they play a third time in the postseason. 101 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I think this scenario would be rare. I'll admit that, 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: But the fact that it can happen is insane. And 103 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: the fact that it can happen with this whole divisionalist 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: approach where we're putting these big time rivalry games mostly 105 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: at the end of seasons, and some of these games, 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: like Ohio State and Michigan, they feature teams that are 107 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: routinely in the conference title race, to where you're running 108 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: the risk of playing that again six days later. Uh yeah, 109 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: not for me, so, Robert, we just disagree on that, man, 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: We disagree on that, Especially with rivalry games. The beauty 111 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: is in the urgency that's baked into that game. The 112 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: beauty is in the face and the fan over the 113 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: cliff tightrope walk one hundred stories above the street. There's 114 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: no margin for error. You lose that thing, your life's 115 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: miserable for the next year. You win it, you're golden 116 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: for the next year. That's the whole spirit of rivalries. 117 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: You play the game again six days later. That's not 118 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: college football, at least that's not the way it should 119 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: feel to me. Now, Robert, you're young. I can see 120 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: your picture right here. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 121 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with being one hundred and five either. 122 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: But younger folks, I don't think understand there was a 123 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: world before conference championship games. Conference championship games aren't all 124 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that old, Like the Big Ten championship game in my 125 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: lifetime has been born, and I'm not that old. So yeah, 126 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: it's still new to the point where you almost wonder 127 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: is there going to be a conversation moving forward about 128 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: the need for conference title games. Cause you can betch 129 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: you bottom dollar, there's going to come a time in 130 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: this new playoff format where some team like Penn State 131 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: goes ten to two, but they don't make the Big 132 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Ten championship game, and then they get a rest, you know, 133 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: because they don't play that week, whereas they may have 134 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: gone there and lost so got nothing from it. They rest, 135 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: and then they get a first round home playoff game 136 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: against like, you know, some G five team or some 137 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: team that they end up beating from the Big twelve, 138 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: And people look and say, wait, Penn State probably benefited 139 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: from not making the conference championship game. Why are we 140 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: even playing this. Imagine being the team loses the Big 141 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: Ten title game. You went and played an extra game, 142 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: you lost it, so now you're gonna have to go 143 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: play a first round playoff game, just like Penn State did. 144 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: The difference is they got to rest and you didn't. 145 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Now the answer to that is, well, it's worth it 146 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: because you got a shot at the conference title. But 147 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: the rebuttal to that is are we still valuing that? 148 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't even know how I 149 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: feel about that right now because I haven't watched this 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: new format playout anyway. So that's my answer to that. 151 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Kelvin up next. Where was Kelvin from? Dallas? Texas is 152 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: where Kevin Haile's from. He said, give a report card 153 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: on the job Mike Elko has done with the transition 154 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: from Fisher at Texas A and M Well, he's done 155 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: an A plus so far now they hadn't played a 156 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: football game, so that's the long and short of it. 157 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: He's done as good as he possibly can in the 158 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,119 Speaker 1: months of January through May, so we're into June now. 159 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: I tell you what he has done. He's gotten universally 160 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: great feedback out there, and we've seen coaches come in 161 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: and get good feedback before in bomb. So that's not 162 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: the end all be all. But I don't think mikelo 163 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: will bomb because He's not an unknown commodity. He started 164 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: to win and win big at Duke. He knows college station, 165 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: he knows Texas A and M. Yeah, for those of 166 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: you who are unfamiliar with the A and M program, 167 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: and your only insight is the fact that they have 168 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: all male cheerleaders, let me give you a little further 169 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: insight here. That place was horribly mismanaged with Jimbo Fisher 170 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: at the helm. Jimbo Fisher had his flaws, he had 171 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: his strengths. One of his strengths was not running an organization. 172 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: But when you're the head coach, you're tasked with doing that. Now, 173 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't mean he did a terrible job. I mean 174 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: the job he did fell below the standard of what 175 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: you should expect at A and M. Now, no one 176 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: talks about it while he's there, at least no one 177 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: publicly talks about it. Then when the guy gets fired, 178 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: slowly and surely, you start to get stories. And that's 179 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: the same case here. I've gotten story after story about 180 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: Jimbo after he left, and it hammers home what I 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: already expected was the case out there. Well, Mike Elko 182 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: comes in. Mike Elcho's not Jimbo Mike Olco's very different 183 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: than Jimbo Fisher in that vein. Mike Elcho will have 184 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: a personal relationship with the guys on that roster. They'll 185 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: feel it. I think you'll watch the effort level max 186 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: out from Texas A and M players for Mike Elko. 187 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: But I also think he gets he gets the off 188 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: the field stuff like he gets the quote unquote business aspect. 189 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: There's this belief by people who have never been in 190 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: the world of college athletics that some of these big places, 191 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: it just happens. If you're at Texas or Texas A 192 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: and m the good stuff, it just happens. It doesn't happen. 193 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't. There are very notable examples in recent history, 194 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: just in that conference in the SEC Tennessee and Florida 195 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: are two of them, where people thought, well, we've got 196 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: this power tee, well we've got this Gator logo, it'll 197 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: just cruise control itself. No, it will not. That stuff 198 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: means nothing. The only reason it did mean something is 199 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: because someone made it mean something. So if you don't 200 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: have the someones, the something is meaningless. That sounds like 201 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: a meme all quote. Maybe it should be anyway. So 202 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: at Texas A. Elko gets. That is the point. Mike 203 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: Elco didn't walk in there and expect that logo to 204 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: do any work for him. He also didn't walk in 205 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: there and say, hey, we're Texas A and M. We 206 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: print money. No, I went and got it. He went 207 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: and kicked the beehive or took a baseball bat to it, 208 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of people have responded positively behind the scenes. Okay, 209 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: so it's June. What does that mean. It doesn't mean 210 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: anything yet, but it will on the field I think 211 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: mean a lot. And the nation's eyes will be on 212 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: Texas A and M pretty early because they play Notre 213 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: Dame in College Station in Week one. So a lot 214 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: of people looking for a sleeper this year. Well, if 215 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: Connor Wegman's healthy at quarterback, and we say that about 216 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: a lot of teams, but if he's healthy at quarterback, 217 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: let's not just totally discount Texas A and M. There 218 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: I go, being positive again. Payne from North Richland Hills, 219 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: Texas said, what game or matchup could be interchangeable? There? 220 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: What game or matchup will be the defining matchup of 221 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four? So I think Bama Georgia is a 222 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: really big one. I think that's Week four or Week five. 223 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: That one's in Tuscaloosa. Bama's a dog at home against Georgia. 224 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: I think that Georgia Texas game in Austin is also 225 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: really big. I think Ohio State going to Oregon will 226 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: be tons of fun. It may not be the only 227 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: time they play this year. Of course, you could go 228 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan. Texas goes to Michigan in Week two, 229 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: and that's when I have circled. So I'm trying to think, 230 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: because I don't have a list in front of me 231 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, those are the games, 232 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: certainly with like national championship implications. For that matter, Let's 233 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: take a look at Clemson Georgia. You know that's a 234 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: Week one game that's in Atlanta. Clemson's a double digit 235 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: underdog in that game. Is that the way it's gonna go? 236 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: Are we really gonna watch Georgia just undress Clemson in 237 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Week one in a year where it's supposed to be 238 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: a turnaround, it's a supposed to be getting things on 239 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: the right track. I mean, if Georgia just unloads on 240 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: them forty one to twenty or something like that how 241 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: does it around Clemson. I also have mentioned this game 242 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: a few times, but Tennessee at Oklahoma in Week four 243 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: is the opener in the SEC for Oklahoma. That's hypel 244 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: going back to Norman, that one's gonna be really really 245 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: good theater, really good one. So those are a few 246 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: of the games I have on the top of my head. 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: I don't know which one yet I would call the 248 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: most important or the defining matchup, because we'll probably do 249 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: that segment on the show Down the Road not too 250 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: far down the Road, Ben from Fenton, Michigan. Will we 251 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: have a conclusion to the gas station recruiting wars before 252 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: the start of the season, Yes, we will. Ben. The 253 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: reason I've been quiet on that is because we've been 254 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: having meetings with those companies and it's been going really well. 255 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have action on this. Trust me, we're 256 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: gonna have action on this. For those of you who 257 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: are new and you are unaware of what I'm talking about, 258 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: it's exactly what it sounds like. I am in the 259 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: middle of a gas station recruiting war. I go to 260 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: these places all the time. I'm on the road every 261 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: week in the fall, I'm on the road most weeks 262 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: in the spring for stormchasing. I'm in these places constantly. 263 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Quick Trip Loves, racetrack, BUCkies, Casey's really big in the Midwest. 264 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: Breakfast pizza so good it should come with a cigarette afterwards, 265 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure they do sell. So yeah, we've 266 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: been meeting with almost everyone. I just mentioned a couple 267 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: of I didn't mention because there are a couple who 268 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: have chosen to keep their name off the radar, you know, 269 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: like a secret contender, if you will, a quiet recruitment. 270 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, well we'll get an answer on that, and 271 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: then at that point I'll ask you guys to completely 272 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: change your habits, to maybe lean a little bit more 273 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: in one direction because they have leaned in our direction. 274 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: But that's for a little ways down the road. We 275 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: get back to the mail bag, Rex Tupelo, Mississippi. Where 276 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: do you think, at the pace we're going now, the 277 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: sport of college football will be in the next five years. 278 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Well that is actually the segment I led the show 279 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: with Sunday Night. I think in some ways there's no 280 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: way to know that. In another way, though, I actually 281 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: think the worst fears won't be realized here. I think 282 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: maybe if you fast forward five years, you'll look back 283 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty four and you'll say, remember the fork 284 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: in the road. There was one fork and there was 285 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: one path where we just saw total destruction of the sport. 286 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: We were worried about that. When well, that didn't happen. Now, 287 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: come twenty twenty nine, we may be saying, now there 288 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: were some other things that happened I didn't expect, maybe 289 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: some things I didn't like, but we by far avoided 290 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. I think what will happen with 291 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: the whole revenue sharing thing is it actually may inject 292 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: a lot more back into the sport. What you started 293 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: to see erode from the sport. Like I personally can 294 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: speak for myself, I love recruiting. I grew up on recruiting. 295 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: I grew up subscribing to all the websites or borrowing 296 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: my Buddi's login if I couldn't afford to subscribe to 297 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: all the websites. And I love the competitive nature of recruiting. 298 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I was never ignorant to think money never changed hands 299 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: in recruiting. So I'm not some innocent fawn of here 300 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: who never understood the name of the game. But I 301 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: also know money was not everything. Money was not the 302 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: end all be all. The numbers certainly weren't as big 303 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: as they are now, and it wasn't strictly transactional. Relationships 304 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: mattered a lot in recruiting. So I am speaking for 305 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: myself personally, I have not enjoyed the direction recruiting has 306 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: gone and how it's become far less about relationships and 307 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: just more about an offer a dollar figure. And I 308 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: reiterate again because someone as sure as I said it 309 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: a minute ago, didn't hear me say it. I know 310 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: there was money in recruiting before I saw it. I 311 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: experienced it, so you don't have to tell me that. 312 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, there is a huge there's 313 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: a monumental difference between one hundred dollars handshakes versus what 314 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: is happening today. So I'm saying that to say, in 315 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: five years, maybe with revenue sharing and maybe with the 316 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: fact you're guaranteed to make probably a bigger salary than 317 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: your parents make just by being a freshman in college 318 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: on a college football roster, maybe it negates a lot 319 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: of the enticements and inducements that are basically the pay 320 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: for play esque nil structure we have now NIL doesn't 321 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: go anywhere. It'll still be there, but maybe NIL becomes 322 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: a lot more true to what it's supposed to be. 323 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: Now there's another question, in fact, I'm gonna go ahead and 324 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: get to it, that could very well tie into this one. 325 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Jeffrey from Saint Louis, Missouri. There it is, Jeffrey. He 326 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: wanted to know how long I thought it would be 327 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: before the SEC kicked teams out of the conference or 328 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: the Big Ten kick teams out of the conference. Now, Jeffrey, 329 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's ever gonna happen. But judging 330 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: by how crazy college football has been and how wild 331 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: realignment has been, and how hyper focused on money the 332 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: decision making has become, which it always was, but the 333 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: numbers are bigger than ever now, how hyper focused we 334 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: become on that, I don't think it's out of the 335 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: realm of possibility that that happens. And especially when we 336 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: look at how big the media rights deals are, and 337 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: you look at how dependent conferences are on maximizing revenue, 338 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: because that's how they determine the cut of revenue share 339 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: they can give to the players, which bolster's recruiting. When 340 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: you know if you go to an SEC or a 341 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: big ten school, you get more if we're going to 342 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: be hyper focused on that, and you look around and 343 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: you've got dead weight in your conference. Hey, once upon 344 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: a time it was crazy to even consider the notion 345 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: of kicking them out. But now I don't know that 346 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: it's eminent. But I don't know that it's crazy either. 347 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: That's one of the great unknowns that maybe by twenty 348 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: twenty nine will have clarity on. Your guess is as 349 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: good as mine if we were to hit a little 350 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: fast forward button and get a glimpse into the future 351 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: of what that would look like by that point. All right, 352 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: let's see who's next. They got all kind of buttons 353 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: on this new keyboard they gave me. By the way, 354 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what most of them do. Let's just 355 00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: press one. Boom oh, prompt to add break button. Okay, 356 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: all right, well, lesson learned there? Anyway, back to the 357 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: mail bag, because you know, good and will you didn't 358 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: see that coming. James is next up from Nashville, Tennessee. 359 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: Greeting's friend, Greeting's neighbor. He said, what is the number 360 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: one rule of storm chasing? Now? James A lot of 361 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: people are gonna give you different answers on this. My 362 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: answer is very basic. My answer is make sure you 363 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: want to do it, period. Make sure you actually understand 364 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: what you're getting into. This is not for the feint 365 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: of heart. It is not for most people. It's terrifying. 366 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: It can change your life in a heartbeat. What I've 367 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: noticed is if you're the kind of person who does 368 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: not respond well to crisis, you don't need to be 369 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: doing this. If something scary happens to you, do you 370 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: scream if you're in, like the middle of a crisis, 371 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: is your impulse to be focused on the crisis or 372 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: to be thinking one or two steps ahead. If you're 373 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: like that, it's not normal. It's normal to just be 374 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: freaked out. It's normal to scream. If you're like that, 375 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: you're a normal person. But you don't need to be 376 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: doing this if you're a normal person. I know we 377 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: got Twisters coming out this summer. I'm excited like everyone else. 378 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: Twister the original is one of my favorite movies of 379 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: all time, and it's gonna romanticize it and a lot 380 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: of folks are gonna think they're about that life, and 381 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: they're not about that life. I had a buddy one 382 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: time that I grew up with who begged me to 383 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: take him stormchasing. So I took him and we end 384 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: up in the path of what ended up being an 385 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: e F two tornado. We're in perfect position. We are 386 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: probably a quarter to an eighth of a mile southeast 387 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: of what the damage path is gonna be. We're there 388 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: two or three minutes ahead of time. I was very 389 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: proud of the work we did to get in that position. Well, 390 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: then in that moment he realized, oh this is real, 391 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: and he freaked out. And I'm gonna tell you why, 392 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: because often the distance there was a tornado coming at us, 393 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: or so it appeared. I knew where we were, I 394 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: knew where we needed to be, and he lost his 395 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: mind and it was really hysterical, not in a funny way. 396 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: He was hysterical. And I said, at that point, number one, 397 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: I've never taken anybody who was just a friend with me. Again, 398 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: if I don't know that there were one hundred percent 399 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: ready for this, because he didn't know. He thought he 400 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: wanted it. But because you put folks in that situation, 401 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: they realize you're in harm's way. You have intentionally put 402 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: yourself in harm's way, It's not for most people. And 403 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: so I put a blanket over him because truthfully, the 404 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: biggest risk to him was broken glass, even though he 405 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: didn't know it, and I got him out of there 406 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: and I never took him again, And that's my fault, 407 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: not his fault. I should have known. So it's gonna 408 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: romanticize it a lot when Twisters comes out. I am 409 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: just going to say, before you even talk about radar 410 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: technology and understanding how intimate you have to be with navigation, 411 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: and how intimate you have to be with terrain and 412 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: all the other things that comes after the first question, 413 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: which to me is are you really sure you know 414 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: what you're getting into? Next up, Mike from Tuscaloosa, would 415 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: you rather have Iowa State win the national title this 416 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: year or go back to the BCS model effective immediately? Well, Mike, 417 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: you know I'm not a selfish person, so you give 418 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: me the BCS all day. I would love to see 419 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: Iowa State win a national championship, but I'd love to 420 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 1: go to the BCS. And you know what, as some 421 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: of you in the expansion this crowd yell at me, 422 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: I will listen to you, and I will even compromise 423 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: with you. Okay, if I had all the power in 424 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: my hands right now, and I do have the power, 425 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: to go back to just the BCS model, which I 426 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: would love, And if you disagree with me on that, 427 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: you either disagree or you've never heard me state my 428 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: opinion on it, and you probably don't even know where 429 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: I'm coming from. And I don't have time to do 430 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: it today, but I feel very strongly about this anyway. 431 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: If I had all that power, you know what I 432 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: would actually do. I would actually say there's room for 433 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: a playoff. I don't have to be stubborn on this. 434 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: There's room for a playoff. If you'll let me use 435 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: the BCS to seed the teams, I will give you 436 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: a six team playoff, not sixteen six team playoff. Top 437 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: two get buys conference champions aren't guaranteeing anything. I'm not 438 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: doing an on that auto bid foolishness. But you can 439 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: have six teams, you can have the top two get byes, 440 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: so there's all the incentive in the world. I do 441 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: not think six teams in the playoff diludes the regular 442 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: season at all. There is no three loss team that's 443 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: going to make it into a six team format, I 444 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: don't think, and so I would be willing to do that, 445 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: be willing to do it, and I would also love 446 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: to also talk about incentivization and the bowl structure overall. 447 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: I'd love to broach that if you let me. But yeah, 448 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: if we go back to the BCS era, I'd go 449 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: back to the BCS if you gave me the choice, 450 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: But I would absolutely be willing to tie in a 451 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: playoff using the BCS rankings as the basis for the formatting. 452 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Christian from Columbus, Wisconsin. Realistically, how long do you think 453 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: it'll take Fickle and Wisconsin to contend for a spot 454 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: in the playoff? About one more year. I think there'll 455 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: be a candidate one more year. There's this outside shot 456 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: where they do it this year. I would not expect that. 457 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: But next year and moving forward, that's three classes that 458 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: they've recruited and developed. I'd feel pretty confident that Wisconsin's 459 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: going to be a major player from that point. Move 460 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: moving forward again, you're talking about a lowered bar here, 461 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: You're talking about a twelve team field, and you're talking 462 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: about them being in one of the two favored conferences 463 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: in college football. Yeah, I think that's fair, and there 464 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: was another question. Yeah, Bennett asked a question I think 465 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: that goes along well with that from TARAMC Florida. He said, 466 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: is it possible for a four loss team to make 467 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: the playoff? Obviously, with the gauntlet of a schedule Florida has, 468 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: they are probably the most likely, but in the current format, 469 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: could you see it? Yeah? I could see it. You 470 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: just mentioned the team, not that I think Florida is 471 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: going to be able to escape with only four losses 472 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: this year. If I had to guess, I don't know. 473 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: Let me backtrack on that. I don't know about that yet. 474 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: But if Florida went eight and four this year, Florida, 475 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: there's a likelihood would have done enough to deserve a 476 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: playoff spot. And then we would get into that age 477 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: old debate of well, how can you put a four 478 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: loss team in over two loss teams or one loss teams, 479 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. And my answer would be, well, 480 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: I look at their schedule, I look at who they played, 481 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: I look at the difficulty, I look at the gulf 482 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: between strength of schedule in this sport, and I could 483 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: not care less at that point what records are I care? 484 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: But it's not the end of the world for me, 485 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: if you've got more losses than another team, And then 486 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: of course someone would say, well, if you believe that, 487 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: then why do we play the games? And I would say, 488 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: I just explained why we play the games. Florida didn't 489 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: lose six of them. They lost four, and those four 490 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: losses probably came against teams that are going to also 491 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: be in the playoff. So then we would have a 492 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: side conversation if you tried to keep that team out, 493 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: and it would be about the SEC saying why would 494 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: we ever add a ninth conference game if we play 495 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: tougher schedules already. But this is the result. You just 496 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: look at us at the end of the year, and 497 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: we got one of our member institutions here and you're 498 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: not even letting them in your playoff. That's all coming. 499 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that it's coming with Florida this year, 500 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: but that's all coming. That's a big, big, open ended 501 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: question right now. By the way down South, a lot 502 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: of folks want to go to a nine game conference schedule. 503 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: They're sitting around waiting to see how the committee ha 504 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: this year's crop of teams, because they're gonna be a 505 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: couple of three loss SEC teams, they're gonna lobby hard 506 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: for to get in the playoff. And I can't tell 507 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: you which way I'll fall, although many of you think 508 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: you already know, I can't tell you where I'll fall 509 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: without seeing what the situation is. But there is an 510 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: there's a very good chance you'll hear me say a 511 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: three loss SEC team in a given year belongs in 512 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: over maybe a one loss team from another conference. Now, 513 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't think one loss teams from other conferences are 514 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: gonna get left out, so that may be a moot point, 515 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: But just speaking strictly in an either or scenario, if 516 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: I have a one loss Big twelve team and I 517 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: had a three loss Florida, I strongly believe that Florida 518 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: will have put together the more impressive resume there than 519 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: that one loss team. That's gonna be a conversation that's 520 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: coming down the road, so get ready for it. Toasted 521 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: Dosti is next up from Fort Lauderdale. He said, who 522 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: were you most impressed with during your tours the last 523 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: couple of months? He is speaking about the Pate state speak. 524 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: I have been in communication with a program or two 525 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: today about that, so I don't know that we're done 526 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: with that yet. Mac Brown, I still think is the 527 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: best overall conversation that we had on that. It's available 528 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: in its entirety on the YouTube channel. If you want 529 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: to go find it. I don't care if you're a 530 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: North Carolina fan or not. You owe it to yourself 531 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: to go listen to Mac Brown. Got about forty minutes 532 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: with him, and he went really really in depth. I 533 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: thought Ryan Day and Kirby Smart were both really really good, 534 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: and those are two national championship contending programs. Kaylin de 535 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: Bor was good. Trying to think about who else. Steve 536 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: Sarkisan went over forty minutes with us, so there were 537 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: a lot of really good ones. I mean we've been 538 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: we've been all around the country. There's still a couple 539 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: I want to get to. We hadn't been able to 540 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: make schedules line up yet. But if I were you guys, 541 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a diehard college football fan, I'm 542 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: telling you you go find those sit downs on the 543 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: Late Kick YouTube channel and you can put those things 544 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: on auto play and that could fill an entire day 545 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: if you're taking a road trip and just want to 546 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: listen to guys talk about all sorts of things. I mean, 547 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: I have these guys go all over the place in 548 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: these conversations. It's really good. I think it's some of 549 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: the best content we've done. So it is worth your time. 550 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: It's not just standard ping pong style Q and A. 551 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: I can promise you that Melissa asked one of the 552 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: more dangerous questions you could ask, which beach is the 553 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: best beach on the Florida Panhandle? All Right? I know 554 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this means nothing to you. But if 555 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: you grew up where I grew up, if you grew 556 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: up in Central Georgia, the Florida Panhandle was your vacation spot. Okay. 557 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: And you've got Pensacola, You've got Panama City, You've got 558 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: Destined and these are the main three. And then you've 559 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: got smaller places like Rosemary Beach, Mexico City Beach, or 560 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: Mexico Beach, not Mexico City Beach, Mexico Beach. Some of 561 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: the more uppity amongst us could go to Gulf Shores, 562 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Alabama and get away from the riff rath. I was 563 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: not one of those. It was Panama City or Bust 564 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: for me. In fact, I'm gonna drop some very big 565 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: breaking news on you your boy here. Even as of 566 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: June fourth, the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four, 567 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: has never been to a beach other than Panama City 568 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: on the Florida Gulf Coast, which is just wild. I 569 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: haven't even gone to SEC spring meetings in Destin. I 570 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: have not gone over to Pensacola. Now. I did have 571 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: a buddy who had a family vacation in Gulf Shores, 572 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 1: I think Orange Beach down there every other year, and 573 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: I basically hid in their trunk so I could go 574 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: to somewhere other than Panama City a couple of years. 575 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: But other than that, and Hurricane Ivan wiped that house out, 576 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: so we can't go down there anymore. Other than that, 577 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: I've never been to a beach in Florida on the 578 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: Gulf Coast side. I've never been to a beach other 579 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: than Panama City. Now. I've been to Miami Beach, South Beach, 580 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: I've been to Fort Lauderdale, haven't been to Daytona Beach. 581 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not a hermit. But there are 582 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: very defined stratas of society in the South, and I 583 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: grew up in the strata of Southern society. That vacations 584 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: in Panama City, and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm 585 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: proud of it. I love it. I love Panama City. 586 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: I still choose to go there, and I go anywhere 587 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to. Right now, I'm going to Panama City. 588 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: You find me in Panama City. Give me the airbrush 589 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: t shirts.

Baby 620 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: Gronk's dad's going to jail, no due process. It will 621 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: absolutely be one of the only dictator moves I make. 622 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: Baby Gronk's Dad's going to jail, and Baby Gronk, You're 623 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: going to live in a safe house with me, buddy. 624 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. It's pathetic. And you know what, if it 625 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: were AI, it would be one thing, Like if it 626 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: was a child actor, it would be one thing. Best 627 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: I can tell, this is a living, breathing kid and 628 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: you only get one childhood.

I've never responded 635 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: to him, and like, I'm serious, he does these things 636 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: where he commits to new schools and then he dms me, hey, 637 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 1: please retweet this. I've never responded once and I've got 638 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: multiple dms from him. I'm not sure if he thinks 639 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: persistence is gonna pay off. But that's some of the 640 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: worst advice, by the way, they can give you. Sometimes 641 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: persistence just get you slapped. Guys. Persistence does not always 642 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: pay off. So Baby Gront's dad, Yeah, a solid seventeen 643 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: and a half on the one to ten cringe scale. 644 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: Steve from Millersburg, Ohio, is next up. Is your affection 645 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: for noon games strictly logistical or are there other factors 646 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: that also make it the best time slot for you? Yeah, 647 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: it is mostly logistical, Steve, not all though. So he's 648 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: talking about me loving these big noon kickoffs cause I 649 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: go cover games and it lets me get out of 650 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: there and get home that night, and it's more important 651 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: for our next night's show because most of the time 652 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm at a three point thirty or a primetime kickoff, 653 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: and I don't get back to Nashville until the next morning, 654 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: and we're like, we're flying back the next morning, and 655 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: that's also the same day we're gonna do our biggest 656 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: show of the week. And it's just a nightmare. I'm 657 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: not complaining, I'm just saying it's a nightmare. So if 658 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: we go to the Red River Shootout and that thing's 659 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: over by three point thirty and we go over to 660 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: Love and get back to Nashville by seven. I mean, 661 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: we're home in time for the primetime games. It's awesome. 662 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: So that's selfish on my part. That's why I love that. Now, 663 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot of you don't like the noon kickoffs because 664 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: you love the primetime kickoffs. I remember vividly growing up. 665 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: I loved going to the primetime games too, Steve. The 666 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: other thing that I just have in my heart is 667 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: I like for college football to have a different vibe 668 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,239 Speaker 1: than the other sports. So in the other sports, and 669 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: we're really talking about the NFL here, the big push 670 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: is move the bigger games to the night windows of 671 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: the primetime windows. And college football's done that and that's inevitable. 672 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: And I don't even always have a huge problem with it. Man, 673 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: there's a time. There is a time where I want 674 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: those games to be in primetime. So I'm not one 675 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent across the board give me noon all the time. However, 676 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: it is my favorite time slot only because I love 677 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: college football have its own unique things. You would never 678 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: look at the NFL and say, wow, think about that, 679 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: the biggest game on the slate right out of the gate, 680 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: right after the pregame shows go off. That is what 681 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: we can do in college football. Not all of you 682 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: love it, Not all of you are ever gonna love 683 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: a scheduling opinion anyway, But I love it. I love 684 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: the biggest games in college football being played under sunshine. 685 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: That's what I love. It's a personal thing for me. 686 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: There are exceptions to that rule. I do love some 687 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: of the games being moved to primetime. I just don't 688 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: love all of them being in primetime, I guess is 689 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: my stance. My stance has probably give me a nice, 690 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: healthy fifty to fifty split. And I don't have a 691 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: problem with three thirty either. I love all the time slots. 692 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: I just don't want to see the noon window rendered 693 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: totally meaningless. I've always thought that's dumb. That's really valuable 694 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: real estate. I think Fox wisely realize that there's no 695 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: reason you have to just throw a bunch of tune 696 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: up games at noon. Throw some big time games there, 697 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: throw some big time games at three point thirty, put 698 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: some big time games in the primetime windows. Saturdays should 699 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: just be big time games all day, noon, mid afternoon, 700 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: late evening, and then we'll see if Hawaii can bail 701 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: all of your failed parlays out a little after midnight 702 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: on the East Coast.
