1
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: Let me just give you an idea of how in

2
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: saying college football is right now. Eleven months ago, James

3
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: Franklin was coaching in the semi final of the College

4
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Football Playoff. He took the Virginia Tech job last night,

5
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: and it's not even the lead topic on the show,

6
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: nor is it the second topic, nor is it the

7
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: third topic. Now, in fairness, we have done a reaction

8
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: video already, so if you're tuning in to hear the

9
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: take on James Franklin, it's already on the channel. But

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I still look, I still think it stands to reason

11
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: that's how many live bullets are flying in the college

12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: football air right now. We're jam packed. We're high atop

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a scatterbrain to downtown Nashville, Tennessee. On this Tuesday night,

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: November eighteenth, the O Our Lord twenty twenty five. We

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: got week thirteen predictions on the show. Yet football still

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: being played, in case you know anyone forgot, we do

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: have big games coming up this weekend, but just total

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: and utter insanity on the coaching search front. So I'm

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna have another update on Lane Kiffin in the show.

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: We're not going to do the whole Penn State Auburn, LSU, Florida.

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that because there hasn't been enough movement

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: on those various fronts. I mean there's movement, but not

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: enough to talk about publicly. But the Lane Kiff and stuff, yeah,

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: I got to talk about it. Some of you are

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: out there living your lives and you're not living on

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: message boards, and quite frankly, shame on you. What better

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: do you have to do with your time this time

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: of year than to live on the message board. So

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I've got that, I got a new JP pole in

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the show tonight. I've got somebody that's ready to check

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: out on Kaylin de Bor again, a bunch of folks

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: are ready to check out on Sark. So this show

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: could go like four hours tonight, but we can't. We're

34
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: doing the show early live so that we can then

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: get off the air, go watch the playoff rankings get revealed,

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: and then hop right back in the studio to do

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: another reaction video. So if you're watching live, I'll give

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you a playoff reaction video later tonight. If you're listening

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: to the replay of the show what Wednesday morning, You're

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to find the playoff reactions separately. They're

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: watching us in Augusta, Georgia, Portland, Oregon, Danville, Virginia. Is

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: that Holland, Yes, that's Holland, Michigan. I appreciate you guys

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: so much. It's never been more important in the history

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: of civilization than now for you to make sure you're

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: subscribed to the channel, the YouTube channel, podcast, whatever, but

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: especially the YouTube channel. We are closing and we're dangerously

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: close to five hundred thousand subs. And when we get there,

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: it's a whole new frontier. It's like a whole new world. Really,

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: nothing will change, but we will feel good about ourselves. Okay,

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: so many, many, many of you have been hitting me up. Sam,

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: you're talking to me. You've been talking to me this

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: whole time, when you've been telling people, check and make

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: sure you're subscribed. Because I checked and it turns out

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't subscribed. That describes many of you. So I

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: know you think you're subbed, and I appreciate you watching.

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm just asking you to also click subscribe as you watch.

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't change the experience for you. It doesn't cost

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you a dime, it doesn't sign you up for anything.

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: You don't get these annoying alerts. None of the usual

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: downsides to subscribing happen. It just helps us. And that's it,

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: all right, let's dive into the show tonight. I didn't

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: think I was going to leave the show with what

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about, because we got a lot

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: to get into. But I've got to address this. Someone

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: has got to address this. Bradley. Here's a good endpoint

66
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: for you when you cut the video later. We got

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: coaching searches going on, we got big games this weekend.

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: But as the future commissioner of this sport, I can't

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: pretend I haven't seen this report from Ross Dellinger. So

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and put it up on the screen. Bradley

71
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger of Yahoo's Sports good friend of the program

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger. I mean, we could call him and put

73
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: him on speakerphone right now and I could just yell

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: at him. But it's not his fault. He's just reporting

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: what's happening. Quote. In a meeting today in Charlotte, North Carolina,

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Power Conference commissioners saw a presentation from the Big Ten

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: on a twenty four team playoff format, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: He continues, officials agreed to keep further exploring formats beyond twelve.

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: SEC officials, as they have said, publicly, support sixteen. Not

80
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: even a soft clap, not a golf clap, just an

81
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: outright clap. I want to throw up all over the

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: place right now, but I can't because we've got a

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: show to do. But I do have great news for

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: you out there. Your college football leaders are focused on

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the big issues. Focused on the big issues, ladies and gentlemen,

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: because this really is the pressing matter at the college

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: football table right now. Expanding the playoff again. So, as

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, for quite a while, we have talked about

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: playoff expansion in college football, and as you know, for

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: quite a while, I've really never been on bordable playoff expansion.

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: But I did say last cycle, Hey, I'm giving that up.

92
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I've already spoken my piece on this. It's obvious the

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: playoff's going to expand. And we expanded not to six,

94
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: not to eight, we expanded to twelve. And so I

95
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: had some concerns about what it would do to the

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: regular season, blah blah blah. And I'm gonna be honest

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: with you, I had it out on this show with

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you, a lot of you a lot

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: of loyal viewers, a lot of Pate State current students

100
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: and alumni said nope, I want playoff expansion, and I said, hey,

101
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: we can agree to it, disagree, but I hope you

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: are right about what you say it will and won't

103
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: do to impact the regular season. All right, Well, now

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: we're in the twelve team playoff era, and I've got

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: to say I am pleasantly surprised at how similar I

106
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: feel in the regular season compared to how I used

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: to feel. I'm speaking cautiously because you know there's a

108
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: yeah butt coming after this, so just be ready. So far,

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: we're two seasons into this thing. I've watched several games

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: this year. I was watching Texas Georgia last week. I

111
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: was watching before that game, the three point thirty game.

112
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: What was it? Oh, it was an Oklahoma Alabama. I

113
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: was watching that game. There is the same urgency, the

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: same nervousness, the same sweaty palms that I used to

115
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: feel about these games. Now there's a little bit more

116
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: of a safety net baked under it. But my point is,

117
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: my biggest fear has not been realized. My biggest fear

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: was that we were gonna build this safety net of

119
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: the expanded playoff under these games, and teams were gonna

120
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: know they can lose and still make the playoff, and therefore,

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: in the aggregate, we were gonna watch the games and

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna feel as big. Now, of course they

123
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: don't feel quite as big. But like college football, regular

124
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: season games used to be the biggest thing on the

125
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: face of the earth. So like shaving five percent of

126
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: the urgency off a college football game still makes a

127
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: big regular season college football game the greatest thing we

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: have in American sports. My point in saying all this

129
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: is we're in a good spot right now. Someone asked

130
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: me earlier today when I retweeted this, and I said,

131
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: but if this sounds pathetic, it is. If expanding to

132
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty four teams sounds pathetic, it is. And they said, well,

133
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: what's your ideal format? And I said, well, we can't

134
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: go back in time, you know, because once the genie's

135
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: out of the bottle, the geniees out of the bottle.

136
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Like people may think, someone like me would say, I

137
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: want to go back to the four team BCS era

138
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: or the two team BCS era. No, no, we can't

139
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: do that. We could never do that. Like, if I

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: were in charge, if I were college football commissioner, or

141
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: if I were just a full on college football dictator,

142
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I would not take us back there because you've already

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: seen what expanded playoff world is like, and so you

144
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: can't you can't undo that. If we had never gone

145
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: down this road, I wouldn't advocate to go down the road.

146
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: But since we've already gone down the road, I'm not stupid.

147
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: I know we can't go backwards. Notice I didn't say regress,

148
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: because that would not be the same thing. But we

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: are not going to go backwards. So we're okay right now.

150
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: It's my point. We're perfectly fine right now. Twelve teams

151
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: is perfectly fine, which is why it makes all the

152
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: sense in the world that the leeches who masquerade as

153
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: leaders of this sport want to blow it all up.

154
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: The good news is it sounds like there's no shot

155
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: of this twenty fourteen playoff actually taking off. Like every

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: other idea that's recently come out of the Big Ten,

157
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: it sucks water through a garden hose. It's terrible. I

158
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: don't know, like who in the world has made it

159
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: their life's mission to take the Big Ten and college football,

160
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, is the little little poster that's waving behind

161
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: the plane and just nose dive it into the earth.

162
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who's done that, but someone, multiple someones

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: in the Big ten have done that. So it doesn't

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: sound like this is a big risk. But the fact

165
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: that this mentality even exists, it's got to be called out.

166
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: You've got to call these people out. So we're in

167
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good spot with the playoff right now. Therefore,

168
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: of course you want to blow it up. My problem

169
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: is that, number one, the idea sucks. My number two

170
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: problem is none of these people are focus on the

171
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: actual issue at hand. Here. Of the problems of the

172
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: problems facing college football right now, none of them have

173
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: to do with expanding the playoff. Think about this, if

174
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: you were a fan of expanding the playoff, Like if

175
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: you argued with me in the past, if I wanted

176
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: to stay at four, you wanted to go to twelve,

177
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: those of you who wanted expansion got your way. Even

178
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: you guys don't want a twenty fourteen playoff. Even the

179
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: canals of the world, even the expansionists, don't want to

180
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: do this. So you'll notice, like one of my cautions

181
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: in the previous round of expansion was these people are

182
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: saying they're expanding the playoff because fans want it, and

183
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: they're really not caring what you think at all. These

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: people don't care about fans, they don't care about students,

185
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: they don't care about anything like that. They're using it

186
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: as a convenient argument. Like they're using it as a

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: convenient guys, because what they don't want to say is

188
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: we figured out that the college football playoff is an ATM,

189
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: and the bigger we make it, the more money it

190
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: will spit out for us. That's not a really popular talking.

191
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: So instead, what we want to do is we want

192
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: to still do everything we're gonna do. Let's still expand it,

193
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: let's still deepen our pockets as much as we possibly

194
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: can off of the playoff. But let's say we're expanding

195
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: it cause the fans want it. Cause a majority of

196
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: fans did want playoff expansion. You'll notice suspicious in its

197
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: absence this go around is that same sentiment because they

198
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: know it's not popular. You see, all of a sudden,

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: you realize they were lying to you the whole time.

200
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: They never cared what you thought. It was convenient that

201
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: your desire matched theirs, but you had totally different motivations.

202
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Fans who wanted to expand the playoff just wanted to

203
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: expand it because you thought that was what was best

204
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: for college football, and that was just a matter of opinion.

205
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if I agreed with it or not.

206
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: That was just your opinion. We both wanted the same thing.

207
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: We both love college football. You just wanted to see

208
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: what was best for it. They couldn't care less about that.

209
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: But since since you were making your argument or their

210
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: argument for them, they went along with it. Now, no

211
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: one wants this, so you will not hear the word

212
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: fan mentioned very much. When it comes to any kind

213
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of idea to expand the playoff to twenty four, you'll

214
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: just kind of get reports about it from Ross Dellinger.

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: They don't even want it publicized. They don't even want

216
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: it like socialized or circulated out there. These people are

217
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: completely talentless. There was another headline today college football games

218
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: headed to Brazil, for example, like the Venn diagram of

219
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: people who want to expand the playoff to twenty four

220
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: and the people who think it's a good idea to

221
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: play college football games in Germany or Rome, believe me

222
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: that headline's coming, Get ready for it? Or Brazil is

223
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: a perfect circle. Those are just the same people. They're talentless,

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: they've never built anything in their lives. If you ask

225
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: these people, hey, what makes college football great? The first

226
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: words out of their mouths would be acronyms, P and

227
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: l KPI. That's how they think. They're just calculator heads,

228
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: that's how they think. And they have found the latest

229
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: hot thing, which in this case is college football, and

230
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: they've leached themselves onto it, and they'll suck it dry

231
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: and then move on. That's what locusts do, That's what

232
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: insects do. Really figuratively, that's what these people are. You've

233
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: got to chase these people out of the room. That's

234
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: what you have to do, like actual leaders, people who

235
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: care about the best interest college football. That's what you

236
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: got to do. The biggest problem facing the sport right

237
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: now is not the size of the college football Playoff.

238
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: The biggest problem by one hundred miles facing college football

239
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: right now is how insane the calendar is. Right now,

240
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: we have coaching searches going on all over the place.

241
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: I got coaches step into the podium on a Tuesday

242
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: of game week, and all they're getting asked about is, well,

243
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: your name's up for this job, do you have any comment?

244
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: And I've got athletic directors under fire, I've got coaches

245
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: under fire, i got agents feeling the heat. And the

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: people responsible for the mess are busy over here trying

247
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: to expand the playoff to twenty four teams. It's utterly insane.

248
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: College football is a multi billion dollar industry, and we've

249
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: got kids with their hands on the wheel because the

250
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: more talentless you are, the easier it is to snake

251
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: your way up that bureaucratic ladder. And people who actually

252
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: have talent, you know, people who actually can build things,

253
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: they're not in the administrative state of college football. Therefore

254
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: they're not in positions to hold these jobs. And so

255
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: the people who hold the jobs and the people who

256
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: actually end up making these kind of calls are the

257
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: least equipped and qualified to be running anything. I wouldn't

258
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: trust these people to run elimonade stand. If these people

259
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: mowed my lawn, I would close the blinds. I wouldn't

260
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: trust them to do anything. And yet and yet here

261
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: they are. They've completely wrecked the college football calendar, like

262
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: right now. The conversation should not be, well, we're going

263
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: to expand the playoff to twenty four. Your conversation should be, Hey,

264
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: how do we get the National Signing Day move to

265
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: February instead of early December and the portal window to

266
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: post college football playoff and rework the academic calendar where

267
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: we can make it all happen so that we don't

268
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: have coaching searches overlapping with the stretch run of the

269
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: regular season because guys have to get in a new

270
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: position to salvage a recruiting class before the portal opens.

271
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: That's what the conversation should be. Instead, the conversation is,

272
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: we have some money, we like more money. We have

273
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: no talent. We can't build anything ourselves. This thing over

274
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: here exists is called the college football Playoff. Let's just

275
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: increase the size of that thing that ATM's been printing

276
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: out money for us. Maybe it'll print out more money

277
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: for us. Let's hey, Brazil will pay us twenty million dollars.

278
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's just go take two lane in Memphis and have

279
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: them play down there. Those are the kinds of ideas

280
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: these people have. So these people really have no business

281
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: making decisions. But yet here they are, and here we are.

282
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Quick Trip could never find themselves in such a position.

283
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: Quick Trip fuels the faultn't lie tour. Quick Trip has

284
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: been with us for quite a while. Now we appreciate them.

285
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: They fuel us every step of the way. I would

286
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: say it's safe to say at this point they've been

287
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: given away a ton of free gas this year. I

288
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: should have kept account on how much gas we've given away,

289
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: how many free tanks of gas we've given away. We're

290
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna head all the way to Eugene, Oregon, say USC

291
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: at Oregon. Now, last Sunday, I thought it was going

292
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: to be rainy during this game, Like forty eight hours ago,

293
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the forecast is changed. There is growing confidence at the

294
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: University of Oregon that this will be a dry game.

295
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm still in wait and see mode because I was

296
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: fully prepared to ride with Dan Landing and wear cotton

297
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: just in a show of solidarity for them welcoming us

298
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: onto the campus up there, and I was going to

299
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: freeze and probably catch pneumonia. But you know now that

300
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be overcast in fifty

301
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: five degrees, I don't know, maybe just the long sleeve

302
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: version of the Fall Don't Lie Tour Eugene addition available

303
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: in the Peate State store right now, paintstatematerial dot com.

304
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: There's a picture of it right there. We just put

305
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: a little random Fall Don't Lie mug on there as well.

306
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: That's available year round. The Eugene version of our T

307
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: shirt that's available for one week also, And this pertains

308
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: to like zero point one percent of the audience. I

309
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: did confirm right before we came on air. I will

310
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: be speaking at the University of Oregon this Friday. Friends

311
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: at the Warsaw Center over there. You know who you are.

312
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: I'll see you, guys and girls Friday. We're gonna run

313
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: it back like we did last year. Speaking of that game,

314
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: let's dive into it. Big Game on tap Pack twelve

315
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: paate back for one night only to introduce you to

316
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: the idea that USC and Oregon is a huge game.

317
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: This Saturday, three thirty Eastern, twelve thirty Local kick on CBS.

318
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: You know what that means. That means the Fall Don't

319
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Lie Tour and Jennifer Dell on the same sideline. Some

320
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: said it wouldn't happen again this season, but I held

321
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: out hope and here we are Lincoln Riley at USC

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: zero to four versus top ten teams, Lincoln Riley at

323
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: USC one in seven versus ranked teams on the road. Now,

324
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: that speaks to the past, but if you've been watching

325
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: USC this year like I have, it's fair to say

326
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: it looks like they've started to turn a corner a

327
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: little bit. So you know, what has been doesn't always

328
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: continue to be. That's got to be the theme if

329
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: you're picking USC in this game Oregon at ten and two.

330
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: If they were to drop this game, I don't think

331
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: is a lot to make the playoff. I could play

332
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: around with the All State Playoff predictor here and maybe

333
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: it would say they have a better than fifty to

334
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: fifty shot. But bottom line is their fates not totally

335
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: in their hands if they lose this game. USC's only

336
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: shot to make the playoff is winning out and that

337
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: would include obviously winning this game, big culture game. I

338
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: don't so much say that for Oregon. Like Oregon's pretty

339
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: comfortable in who they are, they're comfortable being uncomfortable. USC.

340
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: We're kind of trying to still figure out are they

341
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, fill in the blank, are they a team

342
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: that can be physical can go on the road win

343
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: this kind of game. We'll see how far a USC

344
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: has come, because that's really my biggest question. Like Notre

345
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: Dame earlier this year ran for three hundred and six

346
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: yards on them, Illinois game we were at in Champagne

347
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and seventy one on them. Oregon's

348
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: averaging two point thirty on the ground, and honestly the

349
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: last few games, like if you just look last month

350
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: of the season, Organ's probably averaged even more than that

351
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: on the ground. So us he's got the sixty third

352
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: run defense in the country right now. Just basic stats.

353
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: But the reason I'm mentioning that is because you want

354
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: to make you want to make me zoom in a

355
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: little bit further than that if I'm trying to figure

356
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: out how this game is going to go, because I

357
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: had to zoom into about thirty thousand feet to see

358
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: those stats, and if there's nothing more to this game

359
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: than that, I don't need to zoom in any further there.

360
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: It really gets academic if you can't stop the run

361
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: against Oregon. They'll throw it every now and then just

362
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: for fun, but it really is academic. If they're ripping

363
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: off six seven yards per carry. Yeah, they can throw it,

364
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: but doesn't really matter. You've got to at least insert

365
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: variants into the equation. Now. The thing is, sometimes you've

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: got these ground and pound teams and you say, we

367
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: got to make him throw it to beat us. The

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Oregon can beat you throwing the ball. But at least

369
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: if you make them throw the ball, some crazy stuff

370
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: could happen. Or maybe they're throwing the ball because you

371
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: found a way to score on them. So that brings

372
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: me to point number two. How would USC get in

373
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: a position to make Oregon trade points you instead of

374
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: playing from behind? How do we do that? Well, you

375
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: got to make this paper right here. It's two pieces here.

376
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, there we go. That's one piece

377
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: of paper. Sounds flimsy, doesn't it. You got to make

378
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: this paper lie. So this piece of paper I'm holding

379
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: right here says Oregon's got the best pass defense in

380
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the country. Do we believe it? Papers lie? Sometimes? Even

381
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: in November, five of the seven Power four offenses Oregon

382
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: has faced are one hundredth or worse in pass offense.

383
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: So there is a world where Oregon is just that good.

384
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: There's another world where they're badly overly inflated in past

385
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: these statistics because of the inferior nature of the passing

386
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: attacks they faced. We saw a glaring example of this

387
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: in theme last week. Remember last week, I sat right

388
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: here in this chair. We had Pitt versus Notre Dame. Well,

389
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: Notre Dame versus Pitt, say, the home team last kids,

390
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: we had Notre Dame versus Pitt coming up. And what

391
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: did this piece of paper say? It said, Pitt's got

392
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: the number three run defense in the country. And what

393
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: did I say? I think Notre Dame's going to run

394
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: all over him, because I thought the paper was lying,

395
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: and it was. You saw what Jeremiah Love did. That's

396
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: illegal in like seventeen states, Pennsylvania not being one of them, apparently.

397
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter if the paper coming into

398
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: the game said you got the number one pass d

399
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: in the country. If Lemon and Lane just go off

400
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: on you, does it mean does it mean any less?

401
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Does it mean anymore? No, it just meant what it meant.

402
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: It's college football. It's not the NFL. You don't play

403
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: a pro team every week, where by week twelve, Week thirteen,

404
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: week fourteen, you kind of are what your record says

405
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: you are. You kind of are what your stat sheet

406
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: says you are. It's college football. Crazy stuff happens from

407
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: week one all the way to the end of the

408
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: year because of how imbalanced things can be. Thirty seven

409
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: days ago, what were you doing? I was watching Indiana

410
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: sort of own Oregon in Auttin Stadium. It was a

411
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: shock to the senses. We all remember it. It hadn't

412
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: been that long ago. I would imagine maybe even at

413
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: Oregon they remember it. I bring that game up not

414
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: to drudge up bad memories for our Oregon viewers and fans.

415
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned that because thirty seven days ago we had

416
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: mister Surrett and mister Cooper there wide receiver one, wide

417
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: receiver two for Indiana go off for fifteen catches, one

418
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine yards and a touchdown. And I

419
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: think this pair of receivers USC's carrying up there with

420
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: them are probably better, all due respect, than the dudes

421
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: Indiana brought out there. And Oregon needed a defensive score

422
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: to even keep that thing to within ten. So don't

423
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: think for a second this couldn't happen. Now. Do I

424
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: think Oregon's improved? I actually think they could rev the

425
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: engine right now and be one of the best teams

426
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: in the country if they're healthy. More on that in

427
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: a second. But there's just I'm saying, like you, you

428
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: think about this thing. You look at the line, it's

429
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: moved all the way to nine and a half. I

430
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: saw ten and a half earlier today, and you're thinking

431
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: to yourself, Oh, man, tough to see a way for USC.

432
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: No it's not, no, it's not. It's just may be

433
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: a few more routes for Oregon. The thinking I think

434
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: on the games inverted a little bit. So I think

435
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: the casual thinking on the game would be, oh, you

436
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: got to find out if USC can sort of big

437
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: ten their way to a win. That is not what

438
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: I would want to do if I were Oregon. If

439
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: I were Oregon, I'd actually be begging them to play

440
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: big ten style of football. I'd actually beg USC, hey,

441
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: see if you can keep running that ball like you

442
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: did against Michigan, you know, like you did Aga, because

443
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable that's in my wheelhouse, and who knows, maybe

444
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I'll hold their passing game in check. But if they're

445
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: gonna beat me, it's gonna be with those two receivers.

446
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: It's gonna be that they really really dominated in the

447
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: red zone, like that's how they would beat me. Oregon's

448
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver health is something I'm paying attention to in

449
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: this game because I have been of the suspicion that

450
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: they may be building towards having, you know, a few more,

451
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: few more healthy hands on deck towards the end of

452
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the year. Evan Stewart, we hadn't seen him. I'm not.

453
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: I have no clue about Evan Stewart's availability Saturday. I

454
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't say so if I did, that would be unethical.

455
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: What I will say is they've never thought they're going

456
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: to lose him for the whole season, Like that hasn't

457
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: been the word from up there. So if Evan Stewart

458
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: has known for a while, if that staff is known

459
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: for a while, we're gonna get him back. This is

460
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the game you probably would have circled now. I don't

461
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: know if he'll be able to get back, but that's

462
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 1: just something to keep an eye on. Kenyon Sadik, I mean,

463
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: he was like a game time decision last week. He plays,

464
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: he dominates, so I think he may be the best

465
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: tight end in the country right now. I watched USC

466
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: go on the road to Illinois and get handled. I

467
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: watched him go to Nebraska. I firmly believe they would

468
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: have lost the game had Dylan Ryola not gone down

469
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: with injury. I watched him go to Notre Dame competitive,

470
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: but they ended up losing by ten. So they've got

471
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: to do something that flips the script on the road

472
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: in relation to what Lincoln Riley USC teams have been.

473
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: And as we look at what the model thinks, Vanduel's

474
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: got Oregon minus nine and a half. The models got

475
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: orgon minus eight. This thing open at seven and a half,

476
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: it's gone to nine and a half, so it crossed

477
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: right over what the model's number was. I think Oregon's

478
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: best game is still ahead of them. Now I'm gonna

479
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: roll the dice a little bit and I'm gonna say

480
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: it happened Saturday. So I mean, look, I just laid

481
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: it out for you. So there are routes here where

482
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: I see USC. See I could see USC winning game.

483
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: What do I think is more likely? That's really what

484
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: the pick's all about. I think it's probably more likely

485
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: Oregon wins the game. And if Oregon wins the game

486
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: in the style that I believe they will. There's a

487
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: chance that they bended at the end. I don't think blowout.

488
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, win the second half, seventeen

489
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: to seven or something like that. You end up winning,

490
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: and I'll take Oregon to cover. No money know anything

491
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: like that, No rominudal Express, but I will take Oregon

492
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: to win and cover. If you want to go to

493
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: the game, it's gonna be a good one. If you

494
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: haven't already gotten your tickets, no worries. In fact, if

495
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: you haven't gotten your tickets to whichever game you're going

496
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: to this weekend, good news. They're available at seat geek

497
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: right now, so you can go to SeatGeek dot com,

498
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: search the game. I don't care what it is. Go

499
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: watch James Madison. I don't care. They're playing Washington State

500
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: this Saturday. By the way, Press thought I didn't know.

501
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: Oh I know, And you can go over there. Just

502
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: grab your tickets, go to the checkout and write before

503
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: you pay, enter the code PAT ten pat E one

504
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: zero and that'll get you ten percent off your final order.

505
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: What more can we do? Well, I guess I could

506
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: just buy all the tickets for everyone, but I don't know.

507
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: It just seems kind of irresponsible for me to put

508
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: that offer out there. I really think that would be

509
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: my mouth writing a check that the bank account cannot cash.

510
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get you ten percent off seat Geek.

511
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna buy the tickets anyway, Like if you're gonna

512
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: buy tickets anyway, do it at seat Geek so you

513
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: can get ten percent off. Pay ten. That's the checkout code.

514
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: We move on a lot to get to lot to

515
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: still get to tonight. Yesterday was one of the more

516
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: memorable days that I ever remember, just being a college

517
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: football fan. The Lane Kiffin saga, the Lane Kiffin multi

518
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: part documentary. If there's a camera crew following him around

519
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: right now, this will be must see Netflix. Down the road.

520
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: We had flight tracking, which I thought was dead. I

521
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: thought everyone had privatized tail number, and as it turns out,

522
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: not quite. So we had Lane Kiffin's family and Baton Rouge,

523
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: and we had him spotted in Gainesville the day before

524
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: that checking out what I don't know, checking out ice

525
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: cream shops, could have been checking out schools, could have

526
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: been checking out property. I do want to tell you

527
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: this happens all the time. It does not happen this

528
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: publicly so I could tell you guys of multiple coaches

529
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: families that have taken these kinds of trips in this cycle.

530
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Right now, it just so happens, you know about Lane's

531
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: because everyone's paying attention in Gainesville and Baton Rouge. And

532
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: so what's the latest here? Well, the latest here is

533
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: very clearly a decision's got to get made. It could

534
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: be that he stays at Ole miss. It could be

535
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: that he goes to Florida. It could be that he

536
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: goes to LSU. I stopped there for now because those

537
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: are the three that are most readily mentioned with Lane Kiffin.

538
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: You never know, You never know at the eleventh hour,

539
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: what could happen in college football, what offers could come

540
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: from the NFL. And I'm not saying I have any

541
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: knowledge of that. I'm saying you never say never in

542
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: this sort of world. So what do we know? Not

543
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot, at least publicly, not a whole lot.

544
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: But yesterday, if you were, if you were glued to

545
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: the internet, I mean, we had everything. Okay. We had

546
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: hundreds of threads deep message board posts, just like the

547
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: good old days. We had flight tracking, just like the

548
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: good old days. We had people staked out hiding behind

549
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: bushes at local FBOs fixed based operators fancy term for

550
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: private airports, just like the good old days. Really, this

551
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: is what college football is supposed to be. It's the

552
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: greatest sport in the world. And after all that, Lane

553
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: goes on McAfee earlier today and claims that he did

554
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: hot yoga with his current athletic director Keith Carter this morning.

555
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: You know what Martin Scorsese would say about that. I

556
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: don't even need to say the word. You know, he'd

557
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: throw those hands up, he'd lean back. The picture would

558
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: be black and white cinema, That's what he'd say. I

559
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: don't think a decision has been made yet, but I

560
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: know that everyone's going to overrule me on message boards

561
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: here and there and talk radio shows, and that's okay.

562
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Here is what's happening. I know that there was a

563
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: lot said about an ultimatum. I said on Sunday That's

564
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: exactly what I would do if I were old miss

565
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: That's what I would do if I were Keith Carter.

566
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I've got to look out for myself. So I told

567
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: you guys on the Sunday show what I would do

568
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: is we're in the middle of a bye week right now,

569
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: at ole miss, It's okay, I don't need to press

570
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: the issue on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, and so

571
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: I you can just let things simmer for a little while,

572
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: is the point. Okay, you don't have to hardline on

573
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday of the bye week, but rest assured

574
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: they want an answer by early next week. You need

575
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: resolution on this by early next week. Contrary to popular

576
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: opinion out there, it's my belief that the decision hasn't

577
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: really been arrived at quite yet. I know the reaction

578
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: that gets anytime I say that on the show, people

579
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: will send me links to message board posts, or they'll

580
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: send me links to this clip from a podcast. I

581
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: respect you, guys, I appreciate it. I don't need that.

582
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: If I want to know something, I'd just hit laying up.

583
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: So if I really really needed to know on something,

584
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't need to go third hand fourth hand on that. Respectfully,

585
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff that you just don't say

586
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: because you don't burn sourcing and you don't violate trust

587
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: that people have in you. But it's not violating trust.

588
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: And tell you, I just don't think a decision has

589
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: been arrived at yet, but I think one is rapidly approaching,

590
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of due diligence has been done.

591
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: You know, if I were in Lane Shoes, I'd probably

592
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: keep it a lot closer to the vest. But if

593
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: I were in lane Shoes and I had these offers

594
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: in front of me, I'd send my family to go

595
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: scout stuff out. That's just what I would do. So

596
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't really fault him for that. If you got

597
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: a problem with the theatrics behind this whole thing, no

598
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: problem with it. I got no problem with anyone thinking

599
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: that because I said the other night, I spoke my

600
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: piece on how I feel if I were an Old

601
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: Mis fan. I spoke my piece on how I would

602
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: feel if I were a high level donor there. I

603
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: spoke my piece on how I would feel as the ad. Now,

604
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: the one thing that you need to be careful about

605
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: is assuming that you know what's been communicated back and forth.

606
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: Because the one thing that I do believe Lane's been

607
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: is pretty forthright with the administration at Old Miss. I

608
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: don't think there are a lot of moves he's making

609
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: that they don't know about. I don't think there is

610
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: a great deal of you know visits here or conversations

611
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: there that have been had by Lane Kiffin that Keith

612
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: Carter and the administration aren't aware of. Now, at some point,

613
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. Full transparency doesn't matter at a certain point.

614
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: I think that point's coming pretty soon. And what I've

615
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: seen is a lot of you know, what I would

616
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: call window intel. This is really dangerous. It's dangerous when

617
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: you're following a recruitment. It's dangerous when you're following a

618
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: coaching search. Here's what window intel is. Window intel is.

619
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, for instance, if you know one of the

620
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: major realtors in Gainesville and you get told, Hey, Kiffin's

621
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: family is in town right now, I'm showing them houses,

622
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: you think that's it. You think, like I have, I've

623
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: got the scoop here because through the limited window vision

624
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: that you have, through the one source that you may have,

625
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: you're aware that they're looking at real estate. Man, they're

626
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: looking at homes here. Why would he do that if

627
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't coming here? Well, what if I told you that,

628
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to you, he's got plans or they've got plans

629
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: to do the very same thing in Baton Rouge. The

630
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: next day you wouldn't be aware of that, so you'd

631
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: run to your message board and you would say done

632
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: deal Lane to Florida, And then the very next day

633
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge, they'd run to their message board and

634
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: say done deal Laye to LSU. You got no clue,

635
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: You got no clue what he's gonna do. You don't

636
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: even know if he's got any clue what he's gonna do.

637
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: Yet it's unpopular to say that, you know, cause I

638
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna do. Doesn't get a whole

639
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: lot of clicks, which is what we're in the business of.

640
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: After all, old clickbait paid here that doesn't get you know,

641
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: that didn't get nearly as much traction as some other

642
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: things have gotten recently. My personal feel on this is,

643
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: if I had to lean one way or another, I don't.

644
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I think it has

645
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: to get ironed out by this time next week. That's

646
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: what I think, because I will just paint you a

647
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: picture right quick. If this is not ironed out by

648
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: next week, the egg bowls on Friday, it's gonna get

649
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: really ugly. If it's not ironed out by next week,

650
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if you've really played this

651
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: scenario out in your mind. I know Old Miss fans have,

652
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I know, like Florida fans LSU fans have. If you're

653
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: just a Missouri fan, you're just watching this for fun.

654
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Imagine the night before that game, it's Thanksgiving. We've got

655
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: no answer yet, you go into the day of the game,

656
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: Lane's coaching the Egg Bowl, you have no clue. Ole

657
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: Miss officials have no clue. And then he's got a

658
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: postgame press conference and they win. If they win, I

659
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: mean they're headed to the playoff. Either way, we've still

660
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: got no clue. It'd be really toxic, really toxic. And

661
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: that's even before we know whether or not Old Miss

662
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: has put an ultimatum in front of him and said,

663
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: we've got to have an answer. I fully believe that's

664
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: gonna happen if it hasn't already happened. I know what

665
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: was said today. I don't care. I believe that's gonna

666
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: happen if it hasn't already happened. In not so many words,

667
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: so it's going to be a really memorable week next

668
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: week if it gets there. Now, I know there was

669
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of expectation that some announcement was going to

670
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: come this week. Again that was never gonna happen. Ever,

671
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: under any circumstances, that was never gonna happen. Jesse, we

672
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: got to get a bigger earpiece that was never gonna happen.

673
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: But I will not say never at all about early

674
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: next week because that could be an absolute circuit. They're

675
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: watching us in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Chisholm, Minnesota,

676
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: if I'm correct, is the town that Moonlight Graham is

677
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: from in Field of Dreams and we've got fans in Chisholm. Huh,

678
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: chishom Minnesota. I gotta go check on that. I have

679
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: a question. Well, I don't have a question. I just

680
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: got some chapstick I gotta put on. Bradley, you can

681
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: throw up the question. Yeah, there we go. So I

682
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: need to address this as well. Stephen from Gadsden, Alabama said,

683
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: did we buy back our Kaylin de Bor stock too soon?

684
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have just waited after the FSU loss.

685
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: What does this even mean by back the stock too soon?

686
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: So is that to am? I to take that to me?

687
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: And you sold your stock after FSU, so you sold low?

688
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Then you bought back, and now you're questioning whether you

689
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: should have bought back, which insinuates something terrible has happened. Well, yes,

690
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: they lost a football game last Saturday. So I think

691
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: sometimes in college football it is popular to take the

692
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: sentiment of the extreme fringe of a fan base and

693
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: amplify it as the mainstream of the fan base. So

694
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: I don't think the mainstream of the Alabama fan base

695
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: is yelling anything like this. However, I don't know that

696
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: to be sure. So let me just speak my piece

697
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: on this. Let me ask the question there. Let me

698
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: ask the guy who just asked the question there, our

699
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: friends in Gatston, what do you think Alabama is. Let's

700
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: just humor me for a second. If you're out there

701
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: and you got doubts about Kaylen de Bor, what do

702
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: you think Alabama is? First question? Second question, what do

703
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: you expect from Kaylen de Boor? And then the third question?

704
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: If you're really unhappy with him right now, who is

705
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: the standard? Who is it that you want him emulating?

706
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: Don't say Nick Saban. Nick Saban's not an active head

707
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: coach anymore. And by the way, in the latter portion

708
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: of the Sabin tenure, I know it gets romanticized and

709
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: it gets whitewashed. There were a ton of one possession games,

710
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: There were losses, there were penalties all over the place.

711
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: Offensive line play had regressed. You had some of the

712
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: same issues. So don't be saying Nick Saban either. Nick

713
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: Saban at his pinnacle is never going to happen again

714
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport or the future of

715
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: the sport because the landscape's changed. So out of the

716
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: available candidates, and this is theoretically, if you're unhappy with

717
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Kalyn Deboor, out of the available candidates, who's the standard?

718
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Pick him out? I don't care. Take your time list

719
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: the best in the game? Is it? Ryan Day is

720
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: the guy who has been handled by his rival for

721
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 1: consecutive years and lost two regular season games last year

722
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: only to finally find his way to a national championship

723
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: for the first time. Is that him? Is that the

724
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: standard you tell me? Is it? Kirby Smart the guy

725
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: who had you walk in and beat him in his

726
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: home building this year, a trail to Auburn at the

727
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: half bunch of one possession wins. Now they're peaking at

728
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: the right time. But are you telling me that's the standard?

729
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: Like pick the guy. I don't care who it is.

730
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Pick the guy, and I want you to illustrate for

731
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: me the separation between whoever that is and what Caylen

732
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: de Bor has done in his career, but what he's

733
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: done this year, even who is it? There isn't that guy?

734
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: Is there? No, there's not. So here's my thought on

735
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: this the way I've chosen to look at Alabama this year.

736
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: That FSU game was abysmal to start the season. You

737
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: can't do anything about that. Imagine that Monday if I

738
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: sat you down, Bama just lost what was it, Jesse

739
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: thirty one to seventeen or something like that. Imagine Bama

740
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: fresh off of two possession lost to Florida State. I

741
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: set you down that Monday, and I say, BAMA fan

742
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: from Gadsden, Alabama going to go into the Iron Bowl

743
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: with your entire playoff fate and SEC championship fate in

744
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: your hands, will you take that? You would have done cartwheels,

745
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: even though you've never done one in your life. You

746
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: would have done all kinds of acrobatic maneuvers you never

747
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: even thought possible, with or without a trampoline. And the

748
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: reason is because half of you thought your season was

749
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: dead in the water, and for a little while I

750
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: wondered if you were right. So I view this as

751
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: an excellent coaching job. They didn't have the team ready

752
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: out of the gate. I think it surprised them as

753
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: much as anyone else. But then they circle the wagons

754
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: and they went on that stretch run as tough as

755
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: any stretch any team is faced this year, won every

756
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: game and then dropped the Oklahoma game the other day.

757
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: So this is not a good this is a good team.

758
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: This is not a complete team. At no point this

759
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: year was this going to be a complete team. There's

760
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: still very much in a state of floods with their roster.

761
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: There's still very much in a state of transitioning this

762
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: roster to what they want it to be. You think

763
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: that offensive line personnel is really what they want? You

764
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: think that tailback personnel is what they want and what

765
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: eventually they'll have there. I don't, but I think they're

766
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: doing the best of what they have right now. So

767
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: my advice to you is be honest with yourself. If

768
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: anyone's thinking along these lines, be honest with yourself.

769
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: No.

770
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: I would have said the same thing to Ohio State

771
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: fans after the Michigan game last year. This is a

772
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: really healthy exercise if you'll do it and be honest.

773
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: Take a pen, not a pencil. Take a pen, and

774
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: I want you to go buy a new notebook, and

775
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: then I want you to use that pen. Pretend that

776
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: you have the power of an athletic director. And I

777
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: want you to write down your thoughts on your coach

778
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: and you got to constantly keep a log of it

779
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: after every week. I need you filling in that log

780
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: at least once weekly. Whenever you feel like it's time

781
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: to fire him. I want you to write down I

782
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: would have fired him today. Some of you would have

783
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: written that after the FSU game about de Born. Not

784
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: a ton of you. Some of you would have That's

785
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: the group I'm talking to right now, Just like Jim

786
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: Harbaugh post twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. That timeframe, most

787
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: Michigan fans would have fired him if they had their

788
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: if they had their choice, they would have fired him. Okay,

789
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to them, they were going to give up a

790
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: national championship, They were going to give up multiple wins

791
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: against Ohio State. How they went about that, Okay, you

792
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: could litigate that on another show. But they would have

793
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: given that up because they couldn't see around the corner.

794
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: So with the boor or anyone else like, there's folk

795
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: who would have written in their little log about Ryan

796
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: day fire, this bomb got to get him out of here.

797
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: Now he goes on to win a national title, which

798
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: you never would have reaped the benefit of had you

799
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: had your way and anyway, I want you to do this,

800
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: and then I want you to let a few years

801
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: go by. This is not an exercise that is done

802
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: in forty eight hours. And I want you to just

803
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: go back. You're not allowed to erase anything, You're not

804
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: allowed to tear any pages out of the notebook. And

805
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: I want you to read how many different times you

806
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: were sky high and rock bottom low on. The coach

807
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: in question could be Kaitlin de boor it could be

808
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: Shane Beemer. I mean, think about doing this with Beamer,

809
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: my goodness, think about doing it with Dabbo. Point being,

810
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: you have to move at the speed of honey, not

811
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: the speed of water on this stuff. We haven't used

812
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: this analogy in a while. Mema, one of the great

813
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: memoisms in the history of judgment is she said you

814
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: gotta judge your coaches at the speed of honey. Mem says,

815
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: you take two plates, okay, one in each hand. You

816
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: put a drop of honey in the middle of one plate.

817
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: You put a drop of water in the middle of

818
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: the other plate. Turn both those plate sideways. The drop

819
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: of water just falls right off the drop of honey

820
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: slowly starts to go south. Now, if you hold that

821
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: plate there long enough, even the honey ends up on

822
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: the ground. But it takes a while. And in the aggregate,

823
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: the plate may just turn right side up, may even

824
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: turn the other way. But if you were moving at

825
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: the speed of water, you'll never or no. And that's

826
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: kind of the way that I think you have to

827
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: judge this. But if I have not talked to you

828
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: off the ledge, and you're someone who is ready to

829
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: sell your Kaylin de borstock, please let me know because

830

00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: my portfolio, so I'll take every bit of it. I've

832
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,319

00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna have exclusive merch you can only get at

845
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: that event. This will be the first event we've ever

846
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: done like this. I'm not talking about doing an episode

847
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: of the show there. Okay, the episodes of the show

848
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: are right in this studio, maybe sometimes on the road,

849
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: but we broadcast all those shows live on the YouTube channel.

850
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: This won't be broadcast anywhere, which means we're free to

851
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: tell some stories that we may not be able to

852
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: tell on air, and it's going to be a blast.

853
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: So we did this with the Busting Guys up in

854
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: Lincoln earlier this year, and I was a guest of theirs,

855
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: but I watched it happen and it was a fun

856
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: time up there until we're going to look to replicate

857
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: that in Atlanta and telling you those tickets are going

858
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: to go pretty fast. I think we can get like

859
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: eight hundred or so in the theater, so they're going

860
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: to go pretty fast. You're going to want to go

861
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: ahead snatch those up. And it's gonna be really fun,

862
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: really interactive. Ton of Q and a a ton of

863
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: passing the mic around, ton of interaction. There's no hard

864
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: out time. We kind of just get to hang out

865
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: and do whatever we want to do. So that's going

866
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: to be a real fun time. Looking forward to that.

867
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: Tickets on sale now. Next up, it's a game no

868
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: one's talking about this weekend. Missouri plays Oklahoma this weekend

869
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: and it's like an afterthought and it shouldn't be. This

870
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: is a noon eastern eleven am Central Time kickoff on ABC,

871
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: very under the radar game. It's only Missouri's third road game.

872
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's possible the week before Thanksgiving.

873
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: Eli Drinkwitz is left home three times. Now they'll end

874
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: the season back to back of road games. Whatever. What

875
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: do you think the lion is on this game? If

876
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: you're not already aware, mainly for the podcast crowd that

877
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: can't see the lower third here. What would you think

878
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: the lion is on this game? Home field baked in

879
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. The line is seven and a half. Does

880
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: that seem low to you? Well, Missouri's losses are Alabama, Vandy,

881
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: and A and M. Those are three playoff caliber teams

882
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: right now. Matt Zohlers has been the starting quarterback for

883
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: them since both Perbulah went down. There are some rumblings

884
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: that Perbulah may be available for this game. I think

885
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: Eli said he expects Zohlers to start, but at the

886
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: very least that's worth keeping an eye on. Missouri's kind

887
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: of accepted their offensive identity though, so you know they're

888
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: not gonna light the world on fire through the air

889
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: with Matt Zohlers, but they didn't try to. Last week,

890
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: Ama Hardy went for three hundred on the ground against

891
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. They got the number six rushing offense in

892
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: the country. Now that runs smack dab into Oklahoma's strength

893
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: as a defense. Oklahoma's got the number three run d

894
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: in the country. It's kind of an inverse of last

895
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: week's game. So Oklahoma went to BAMA last week and

896
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: Bama's like, we don't run the ball anyway we throw

897
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: the ball, and so that's what you're gonna have to contain.

898
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: And Oklahoma contained it. They didn't contain it in a

899
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: way where you shut it down, because Bama still threw

900
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: for over three hundred on them. They contained it in

901
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: a way where we're gonna knock the ball loose every

902
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: chance we get, We're going to force turnovers, and then

903
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: in a complimentary fashion, we're gonna beat you on your

904
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: home field. Well, this is the total inverse of that.

905
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: Missouri is absolutely gonna try and run the ball. Missouri

906
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: can't beat you if they don't run the ball. So,

907
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: unlike Bama, who was at least comfortable with you shutting

908
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: down their run, you shut down Missouri's run. You shut

909
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: down the game. Can you all right? And then the

910
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: follow up, because I'm not sure you're gonna totally shut

911
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: it down. I don't think a Mott Hardy's going for

912
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: three hundred in the game, but I don't think you're

913
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna totally shut it down. But the follow up question

914
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: is if you shut it down enough, can you get

915
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: some margin here? Are you going to be good enough offensively?

916
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: Like Oklahoma was very limited offensively last week. They've been

917
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: somewhat to significantly limited since the John Matteer injury. Their

918
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: tailbacks have come on a little bit lately, but they're

919
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up at tailback right now too,

920
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: so Brent Vinnables as recently as today talked about how

921
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: we have to spread it around a little bit. We

922
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: don't totally know our health status at that position. Missouri's

923
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: top twenty run D, their top twenty pass D. It's

924
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: a really good defense. People will overlook them. I could

925
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: even see an Oklahoma fan saying to themselves, it's Missouri,

926
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean when I say that

927
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: it's Missouri. And what you don't realize is it could

928
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: be one of the best defenses you face all year,

929
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: and easily one of the most versatile and opportunistic defenses

930
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: you face all year, and your bottom half in every

931
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: stack category offensively except red zone offense right now. So

932
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: the reason I paint that picture is I've got no

933
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: reason to think that Oklahoma is just going to pull

934
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: away in the game. Offensively. Oklahoma can pull away in

935
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: the game because they got many different ways they can score.

936
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: They got many different ways they can set themselves up

937
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: with short fields. But if Missouri were to do to

938
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma what Oklahoma did Obama last week, which is make

939
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: them drive the length of the field constantly, set them

940
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: up inside their own twenty yard line, it's a standard game.

941
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: In other words, it's tough to just envision. Oklahoma is

942
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: marching their way down the field over and over and

943
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: over again. So I think Matier will have to make

944
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: plays here for Oklahoma to win. I think Zolers will

945
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: have to make plays. I got no clue if Perbula

946
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: will play or not, but it feels like a game

947
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: that's won in the margins. It's really tough to separate

948
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: these teams in that kind of game. They're both in

949
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: the eighties and turnover margin, but that didn't matter for

950
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: Oklahoma last week. There were plus three. That's why it's

951
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: kind of randomized. But they're skill enforcing those turnovers. Both

952
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: of these can do it. They're both top twenty and

953
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: third down defense. They're both top fifteen in sacks. Oklahoma's

954
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: been excellent at owning field position though. That's where they shine,

955
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: and they haven't done a better job all year than

956
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: they did last week in that department. So let's take

957
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: a look at what the model thinks. The total in

958
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: the game's forty two and a half, which implies low scoing.

959
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: Game obviously really compacted game limited possessions fan duels got

960
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma minus seven and a half. I was kind of

961
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: surprised to see the models got Oklahoma minus five. Guys.

962
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: That's with everything baked in. That's with home field baked in.

963
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: That's with backup quarterback baked in, and the backup QB's

964
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: played a number of weeks now for Missouri, so like

965
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: got a good idea of what he is. But after

966
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: the ridicule and the scorn suffered on this show at

967
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: the hands of Oklahoma, if you think I'm about to

968
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: give you another SoundBite, You're crazy. Okay, that creative media

969
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: department did me wrong. I deserved it. They did me wrong.

970
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: I had it coming. They did me wrong. They released

971
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: the cinematic recap of the game. I think my voice

972
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: was like the first half minute, like, was that really necessary?

973
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: After all we've been through together? Huh. I'll take Oklahoma

974
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: to win the game now. If I'm betting the game total,

975
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: this low game, this compacted this much on the margins,

976
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: anything over a touchdown. So if this line's seven and

977
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,479
Speaker 1: a half right now, I would just bet the dog.

978
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: But in terms of who's going to win the game,

979
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: Missouri's got a good shot because I'm not gonna be there.

980
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: Missouri can't win a game if I'm in attendance. But

981
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 1: since I'm not going to be there, Eli driek Witz

982
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: and his team have a fighting chance. I think it's

983
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: a lowescoing game. I think Oklahoma finds a way to

984
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 1: win the game.

985
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 3: Though.

986
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: Right there in the playoff mix, right there in the

987
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: middle of the playoff mix, all right, uh had a

988
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: question here as we roll on. Yeah, Kyle from Dallas said,

989
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: what do you think about Sark's latest rant? Well, you

990
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: may or may not be aware that Sark did have

991
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: a little mini rent. Now keep in mind, they're a

992
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: three loss team now, they're coming off the Georgia loss.

993
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: You know that you got Arkansas Saturday. Actually, I don't

994
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: think most of the country understands they play Arkansas Saturday.

995
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 1: They just know they play A and M the next week.

996
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: But yes, they do have Arkansas Saturday. Anyway, they look

997
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: like they're going to be a three loss maybe a

998
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: four loss team, and so some people are starting to

999
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: say that Texas was overrated. Texas has disappointed. Sark got

1000
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: asked about this in his press conference, I believe yesterday.

1001
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say.

1002
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 2: Steve, what would you say the main reasons are this team.

1003
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: Is underachieved according to who well.

1004
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: In your preseason number one.

1005
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: I think most people would agree three losses is not achieving, which.

1006
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: Are capable of I mean, I guess that's into who

1007
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: voted us number one. Okay, what I think is that

1008
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: this team has competed their tailoff. They've been faced with

1009
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: a lot of different adversity and injuries, and a lot

1010
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 2: of stuff has come across this team's plate, and I'm

1011
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 2: very proud of them with their resiliency. You know, at

1012
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 2: the end of the day, at the University of Texas,

1013
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 2: we're held to a very high standard, and the standard

1014
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: is to compete for championships year in and year out,

1015
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: and we're going to play the best teams in the country.

1016
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 2: We're going to schedule the best teams in the country.

1017
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: But by the end of the season, we'll play of

1018
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: our twelve regular season opponents, five of those teams will

1019
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: be top ten teams when we played them, So nearly

1020
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 2: half our schedule, and we have an opportunity at the

1021
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 2: end of the regular season to do something that nobody's

1022
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: done since twenty nineteen, and that's beat three top ten

1023
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 2: ranked teams in the regular season. Last team to do

1024
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 2: that was LSU with Joe Burrow. So have we been

1025
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 2: faced with a pretty difficult schedule. Have we been faced

1026
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: with high expectations? Sure, but that's why we came here,

1027
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 2: so we'll be okay, all right.

1028
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: What I made of that is that is a message

1029
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: for the playoff committee, really is what that is. That

1030
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: is a message of let's try and win these next

1031
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: two games. Finished with three losses, and let that be

1032
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: the talking point because that's really their only hope right

1033
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: now to make the playoff is they're a three loss team,

1034
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: and the committee looks at the criteria through the proper lens,

1035
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: like the lens Sark just gave you, which is, hey man,

1036
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: we've beaten a lot of top ten teams when they

1037
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: were top ten. That's not really how he thinks. Steve

1038
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: Sarkisian's really smart. I love hanging around Sark, I love

1039
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: talking to him, love having him on the show. Like

1040
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: he is very analytically he's very competitive, I promise you.

1041
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: You know when he's looking at himself in the mirror

1042
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: when they're sitting around a staff room. They don't do

1043
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: this during the season, but like when they're assessing the

1044
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: season in totality, they're not looking at it talking about

1045
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: how many Top ten teams they faced. That's just it's messaging.

1046
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: And he's got to do it, and I would do it,

1047
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: And if you were in his spot, you actually would

1048
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: sound very similar. What you're not going to do is

1049
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: go out there and say, yeah, we suck man, Yeah,

1050
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: I had really high expectations. We've failed. Man, I've got

1051
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: to tear it down and start from scratch. That's not

1052
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: what you do publicly. Now. What you do privately is

1053
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: you've got to acknowledge where you've failed, and they have

1054
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: failed this year, that staff's failed this year, that staff's

1055
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: falling short, well short of the expectation they should have

1056
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: for themselves. I mean, look, we were out there in

1057
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: the spring and again had him on the show, really

1058
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 1: appreciated and I thought he was dead on the money

1059
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 1: and in terms of the picture he presented, which was, hey,

1060
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: this is kind of our first go around with everything

1061
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: in this building. Being ours. We got our quarterback, this

1062
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: roster's totally ours. Everything's ours now, so this will be

1063
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: a true reflection of our Texas. It's not good enough,

1064
00:54:55,719 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: that's all. It's not good enough now. That's the easy

1065
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: thing to say. The easy thing to do is look

1066
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: at the win loss record and say, well, that's not

1067
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: good enough. This is Texas. You're Steve Sarkeshian. You guys

1068
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: got the nil You've got recruiting, you've got facility, you

1069
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: got all this stuff. You got an army of some

1070
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: of the best staffers in the country. You ought to

1071
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: be better. Yeah, that's accurate, but that's not a fix.

1072
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: The fix involves getting your hands dirty. It involves making

1073
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: changes that are going to be really hard because they're

1074
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: your people. It involves maybe changing something about yourself, maybe

1075
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: course correcting twenty degrees of your own personal philosophy. You

1076
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: saw what it's supposed to look like last Saturday. You're

1077
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: not that. Georgia is what it's supposed to be like,

1078
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: and Texas is not Georgia. We've we've pretty emphatically decided

1079
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: that in the last calendar year. That just means you

1080
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: keep working. That just means you got to make changes.

1081
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: That means you've got to adjust. That means you've got

1082
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: a tinker and you've you've got to evolve here. And

1083
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: maybe you know what means changing personnel. Maybe it means

1084
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: adjusting your roster or recruiting a different kind of kid,

1085
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: or using different approaches in recruiting. Like I promise you,

1086
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkishan is not looking at their results this year

1087
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: and saying that's okay, No, No. What he's doing right

1088
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: now is he's fighting to do as good as he

1089
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 1: can with the reality of what they are. The reality

1090
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: of what they are is well short of a national

1091
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: championship competing team, contending team, which is what they thought

1092
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: they would be. They were wrong. I thought they could

1093
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: be that. I was wrong. What they are is just

1094
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: very incomplete. So you get to the end of the season,

1095
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: you fight as much as you can to play as

1096
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: long as you can, which is what he's doing right

1097
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: there when he says that they're not going to play

1098
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: much longer, and then it'll come time to course correct.

1099
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of rumors out there

1100
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: about him and his future and whatnot. If that stuff happens,

1101
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it different when it happens until it happens.

1102
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian is the head coach of Texas as long

1103
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: as they'll have him there, and as long as that's

1104
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: the case, then everything I'm saying applies. So I'm not

1105
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: really sure when you get into the granular detail of things, like,

1106
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how it's possible for people to

1107
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: relate to it. I'm really I'm serious about that, because like,

1108
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: even if I were to look at it, if I say, oh,

1109
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you're good enough on defense, fire your coordinator.

1110
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: Oh I don't think your special teams are good enough.

1111
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: Fire your special teams, coredator. Oh I don't think your

1112
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: roster is good enough. Fire your general manager. That is

1113
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: so easy for me to say. I'm speaking generically, they're

1114
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: not about Texas specifically. That's so easy to say, I

1115
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know those people. I didn't hire them, I didn't

1116
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: have them move my families here also, or their families here. Also,

1117
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: you never know if like one of your staffer's shortcomings

1118
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: are directly correlated with you not being what you need

1119
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: to be, you not setting them up to succeed. You know,

1120
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of times staffers are retained even though their

1121
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: position group's results or their side of the ball's results

1122
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: are very, very bad because the head coach knows I

1123
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't put him in the best position to succeed. Now,

1124
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: he's not going to step to a press conference podium

1125
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: in all likelihood and say that. But we're watching an

1126
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: example of that, ironically, with the team Texas just played.

1127
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: Texas just played Georgia. Georgia put on a clinic. Candidly,

1128
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: I think offensively they've been putting one on all year.

1129
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: If half the Georgia fan base had their way, Mike

1130
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: Bobo wouldn't even be there to put the clinic on

1131
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: because Mike Bobo would have been fired. Kirby didn't fire him.

1132
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: Why didn't he fire him? Maybe just maybe Kirby looked

1133
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: at it and said, Mike's doing exactly what I've asked

1134
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: him to do. Maybe I haven't put him in a

1135
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: good enough position to succeed. Maybe we as an organization

1136
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: haven't provided him with the player here or the development there.

1137
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there are other adjustments that need to be made,

1138
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: then just fire this guy. So maybe that's the case

1139
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: at Texas, or maybe it is a personnel situation or

1140
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: a staffing situation. At Texas. That is the hard part.

1141
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: That's the tough part, because, like, really, if you think

1142
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: about it, if you're Steve Sarkisian, you got like five

1143
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: hundred changes you could make. How do you know which

1144
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: changes are the proper combination of changes to make? And

1145
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: how do you decide? How do you decide which of

1146
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: them you can make during the season and which of

1147
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: them have to wait until the end of the year.

1148
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to feel sorry for him. He

1149
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 1: gets paid a whole lot of money. So of course,

1150
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: when you get paid a lot of money, no one

1151
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: ever gets to feel sorry for you. You're not a

1152
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: real human, you have no real emotion. You're just a robot.

1153
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: But that's kind of a joke because I do understand

1154
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: it's a big boy business. Like he's an adult. He

1155
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: gets paid a lot of money. You got to produce

1156
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: results or they'll find the next guy Texas or otherwise

1157
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: they'll find the next guy. But yeah, what I thought

1158
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: about the latest rant was I didn't think it was

1159
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: a rant that accurately reflected his feelings towards his current

1160
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: results as much as hoping to lobby for a backdoor

1161
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: spot into the playoff. If they're able to take care

1162
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: of business in these final two games. If you would like,

1163
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: if you would like to contribute to something very worthwhile,

1164
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I want to remind you a couple of weeks ago,

1165
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: we announced our partnership with the Magnolia Foundation. The Magnolia

1166
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Foundation was started by a buddy of ours named Matt.

1167
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: He lives in nearby Cookville, Tennessee. There was a tornado

1168
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: that came through here March third of twenty twenty. It

1169
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: hit my building. I was in it. Matt's house took

1170
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: a direct hit several miles to the east of here.

1171
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 1: He lost his little girl in that tornado. There were

1172
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: I think twenty three or twenty four fatalities during that tornado.

1173
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: She was one of them. They realized the burden that

1174
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the expense of losing a loved one, especially a child,

1175
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: can put on a family. They went through it, and

1176
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: so shortly thereafter they started the Magnolia Foundation. The Magnolia

1177
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Foundation's purpose is to assist with people who have lost

1178
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: children ages zero to eighteen, and it helps with funeral

1179
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: expense and it helps with all kinds of expenses that

1180
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: pop up afterwards, counseling, for example, commemorative care, those sorts

1181
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: of things. That's where the Magnolia Foundation comes in. So

1182
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: I've known Matt for a little while. We've talked about

1183
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: how we can partner. We finally made it happen, so

1184
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: you knew a couple of different things. You could go

1185
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: to the Peate State Store right now because we've got

1186
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: an entire Magnolia Foundation line of merchandise, So proceeds from

1187
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: that fifty percent of those proceeds go to the Magnolia Foundation.

1188
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: But you can also just go to the Magnolia Foundation's

1189
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: website if you want to bypass the purchase of a hat. Now, look,

1190
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: those hats look really good. Okay, those T shirts look

1191
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: really good. I've got some in my apartment right now.

1192
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: But if you're not interested in that and you just

1193
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: want to contribute directly, you can go to the Magnolia

1194
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Foundation's website directly. Many of you have I have gotten

1195
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: feedback that a lot of you have left comments over there.

1196
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Like I told you last week, one guy made a

1197
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: sizable donation and then said, could you please tell him

1198
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: to talk about Indiana on the show more. That was

1199
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: the condition under which they made a contribution to the

1200
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Magnolia Foundation. Detroit Airport stepped up. Our friends at the

1201
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Airport stepped up. More information on that in the

1202
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: near future. I mean really stepped up, really stepped up.

1203
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you're listening out there at Hartsfield,

1204
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: at Shuttlesworth, at BNA, the Detroit Airport has stepped up

1205
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: big time for the Magnolia Foundation. I just wanted to

1206
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: be known there wasn't an airport in the South that

1207
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: stepped up. It was Detroit that stepped up. We appreciate them.

1208
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue here. The JP Pole is released

1209
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: for week thirty. Team the JP Poll many things, but rankings.

1210
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: It is not. It is power ratings. It is spat

1211
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: out by the model every week. As you can see,

1212
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: these are not rankings, it's just neutral field favorability. And

1213
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: time and time again, people push back on it, either

1214
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: number one cause they don't understand what it is, or

1215
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: number two cause they do understand what it is, but

1216
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: they don't like it. For instance, as I'll show you

1217
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: in just a second, Penn State is still in the

1218
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: top twenty. And a couple of weeks ago, I told

1219
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: you Penn State was still in the top twenty, and

1220
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: you're like, no way, Hey, what's Penn State done since then?

1221
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: So like everybody who tried to pick apart, Penn State

1222
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: still being in this thing. Where'd they go? Where'd they go? Jesse?

1223
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't see him anymore. Jesse was one of them.

1224
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing here. Now, let's start to

1225
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: lay it out and then I'll walk you through some

1226
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: of this. Missouri is number twenty right now. Penn State's nineteen.

1227
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: So Penn State is still in this thing. Vandy's eighteen,

1228
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Brigham Young at seventeen, is sixteen. A couple of really

1229
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: important notes here. Penn State is at nineteen. I don't

1230
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: know who's gonna win the ACC Championship game, but it's

1231
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna be probably Georgia Tech or Virginia or someone like that.

1232
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you Penn State would be favored over

1233
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the ACC champion no matter who it is, on a

1234
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: neutral field. Make of that what you will. I never

1235
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: say that with anything more behind it. That doesn't mean

1236
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Penn State deserves to go to the playoff. It doesn't

1237
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: mean anything other than what it means. This is just

1238
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: a helpful tool, a helpful resource. A lot of you

1239
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: find it interesting. If you don't, this is probably not

1240
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: the segment for you move on, but Penn State would

1241
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: be favored over the ACC champ. I don't care which

1242
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: of those teams it is. Brigham Young at seventeen is

1243
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: very noteworthy. This is the highest they've been all year.

1244
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: They got a two and a quarter point bump from

1245
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: their win last week. The win over TCU is the

1246
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: most impressive thing Brigham Young has done all year. From

1247
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the model's perspective, they got a huge boost from that

1248
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: and their top twenty. Now I was number sixteen, just

1249
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of holding steady. USC's number fifteen, Oklahoma's number fourteen.

1250
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is still gonna be well behind Alabama. They're gonna

1251
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: be well behind Texas. They're gonna behind Tennessee. I'll talk

1252
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: about that in a second. Miami is thirteen, Tennessee's twelve.

1253
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Texas is eleven. So if you look at Oklahoma being

1254
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: behind Tennessee and you're like, we beat them on the road,

1255
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: it's true. Which means you got to win on the

1256
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: road and they can never take it away from you.

1257
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: And Tennessee got a loss and they can never take

1258
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: it away from them. This is not about that. It's

1259
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: about neutral field favorability. And Tennessee would be favored against

1260
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Oklahoma on a newtral field that they play tomorrow. That's it,

1261
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all. Now you would be free to

1262
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: bet Oklahoma. I may join you Texas at eleven. I

1263
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. Texas would be favored.

1264
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: They also faced you on a neutral field and beat you.

1265
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: So in that case we have an anecdotal result. It's

1266
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: not anicdotal. It involves the two teams, but that at

1267
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: least supports our theory here. But even if you've lost,

1268
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: or even if you've beaten teams above, you not automatically

1269
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: change what this would be. What else did I want

1270
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: to point out there? Oh yeah, and Alabama's going to

1271
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: be well ahead of them too. I don't really think

1272
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma fans would argue Bama would be favored now. It

1273
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter with the outcome because you beat them. So again,

1274
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: I want to emphasize there's a big difference between who'd

1275
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: be favored and who's won the games. Number ten is

1276
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Number nine is Utah. Guys, I disagree with

1277
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: it too. If Texas Tech played Utah on a neutral

1278
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: field today, I'd pick Texas Tech. I'm just telling you

1279
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the model would slightly favor Utah, and I don't know.

1280
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it's seeing. I'm just telling you

1281
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: what it's saying. I'm not ever saying it's flawless. I've

1282
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: never said that. I'm just giving you the information to

1283
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,439
Speaker 1: do with what you will. I also think FanDuel would

1284
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: disagree with this. In fact, I know they would, which

1285
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: just goes to show you this is not me taking

1286
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: fan dual data and dressing it up as our own,

1287
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: because I promise you Texas Tech would be favored against

1288
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Utah if they played, so clearly, that's not what we're

1289
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: doing here. Ole miss is at number eight, almost dropped

1290
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: a little bit after last week. Actually, Oregon is at seven,

1291
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is at six, Alabama has dropped to five A,

1292
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: and m is at four. Yes, there's big movement here.

1293
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Indiana is three, Georgia has vaulted to number two in

1294
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the JP pole, and Ohio State is number one. So

1295
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: a couple of fun nuggets here. Immunity. Ohio State right now,

1296
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: according to the model, would be favored by nearly four

1297
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns against Virginia twenty six. I mentioned that because Virginia

1298
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: could very well win the ACC Ohio State could win

1299
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the Big ten. Ohio State's favored to win it all.

1300
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Right now, that just goes to show you we can't

1301
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: even say Power four champion anymore because there could be

1302
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: a four touchdown between a couple of Power four champions.

1303
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: These things are not all the same. Secondly, Georgia has skyrocketed.

1304
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: They jumped two and a half points. Their raw power

1305
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,959
Speaker 1: rating jumped two and a half points. After the Texas game.

1306
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Georgia would now be a two point three point favorite

1307
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: over an M and a two point eight point favorite

1308
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: over Obama. Of course, you're not going to favorite a

1309
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: team by two and three two point three, so the

1310
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: model would have Georgia minus three against Alabama in Atlanta.

1311
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 1: Georgia minus two and a half against A and M

1312
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: in Atlanta is what that boils down to. And Indiana's

1313
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: just still sitting there at number three. So that's where

1314
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: we are right now. I will say this, through no

1315
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: fault of Ohio States, there has been at least a

1316
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: little bit of compacting at the top. Ohio State would

1317
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: still be a solid favorite against everybody, but there has

1318
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: been a little bit of compacting at the top. At

1319
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 1: least FanDuel is the exclusive odds provider of the show.

1320
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: There's a lot offered over there right now. Like, for example,

1321
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: right before we came on air, I went over to

1322
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: see if they had the rivalry week lines already up.

1323
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: They do. Ohio State goes to Michigan next week. You

1324
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: can bet it right now. Ohio State minus twelve and

1325
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: a half Iron Bowl next week, you can bet it

1326
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: right now. Anyone want to guess Bama at Auburn. Anyone

1327
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: want to guess Alabama minus five and a half. Oh no,

1328
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: oh no, oh yes, oh yes. You want to bet Heisman.

1329
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: It's over there right now. You want to bet odds

1330
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: to win the conference. They're over there right now. We

1331
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: appreciate them. And you know what else is over there?

1332
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: The Rama Noodle Express tab and I'm about to add

1333
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 1: to it right now, and it brings me no joy

1334
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: to inform you that I am adding food to the

1335
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Rama Noodle Express. We're already on Western Kentucky plus twenty

1336
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: two and a half. We're already on kent State plus

1337
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: seven and a half. Ladies and gentlemen, Rice is being

1338
01:09:55,760 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: served on the Rama Noodle Express versus North Texas this week.

1339
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Add Rice plus eighteen and a half. Now we know

1340
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Rice is not going to win this game. North Texas

1341
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: is not going to lose to Food, but we don't

1342
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: think they're going to cover against Food either, So we

1343
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: are gonna take Rice. Added with Kent State added with
