1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,319 Speaker 1: I'm George Reiser, He's Ralph Amson, and this is Unafraid 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: Shows college Football Apostles. It is week zero. It is 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: finally here. There are no more Saturday sleeps. College football 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: is here and upon us. We got four games this 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: weekend and we're gonna talk about those. We are also 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: going to talk about and make our Week zero picks. 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: We gotta talk qb ones because there have been a 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: bunch of qb ones named across the country and the 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: impact that that's going to have on conference championships, on 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: those teams and everywhere else. And general managers in college 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: football are becoming a thing, like well, I'm sorry, they're 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: not even becoming a thing. They are a thing. And 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: now these guys are showing that they are very valuable. 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: And we have one that's making almost a million dollars. 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: Now that's how valuable that they are. And the lasting 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Kirk Farnce suspended week one against Illinois State over at Iowa. 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: And who would have thought Kirk parents getting suspended for 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: recruiting violations. All right, cool, we'll talk about that. You guys, 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: make sure that you guys like subscribe to a friend 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: about the show. Most importantly, get notifications and all of 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: those things. All right, Ralph, we got to talk about 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: these qb ones because there were a bunch of qb 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: ones named and probably the most I'd probably say the 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: biggest one in terms of being impactful and where people 25 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: where there was at least some element of doubt was 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 1: over at USC, where you have Miller Moss. He wins 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: the job over Jadeen Myvia, the kid who transferred in 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: from UNLV to USC. And this is gonna be the 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: first time that Lincoln Riley has a quarter Now, Miller 30 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Moss can move, but he can't move like Baker, like 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, like Jalen Hurts War like Caleb Williams. So 32 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: is this going to stress USC? Because you know their 33 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: defense has been pitiful, they have upgraded the defensive staff. 34 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Is this gonna be enough to put USC where Lincoln 35 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Riley said they were ahead of schedule on schedule. 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: Now, I don't think so. I mean, you saw the 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: way that offense I think was supposed to look in 38 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: the bowl game. You and I have had a lot 39 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: of conversations about Kayleb Williams. I love Kayleb Williams. I 40 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: think because a unicorn talent wise, he went off schedule 41 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: unnecessarily quite a bit, quite a bit, And if you've 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: been watching Hard Knocks, I thought he made one of 43 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: the more profound statements I've ever heard on that show. 44 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: When Matt Eberflus is sitting with him, I think it's 45 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: episode three, and he just says, he runs him through 46 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: a few plays on film and he said, what did 47 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: you learn this week? And Caleb Williams says, practice is 48 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: a lot harder than the game. And I feel like 49 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: he probably wasn't held accountable at USC for all those 50 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: times going off schedule, because when it works, it works. 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: That's not going to work in the NFL. It just doesn't. 52 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: It can work, but it's not like a sustainable solution. 53 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: You have to play on schedule. You have to play 54 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: within the offense, and then you have to let your 55 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: playmaking ability and instincts take over when it is necessary. 56 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: Josh Allen had to learn that a lot of people 57 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: have had to learn that. But I looked the way 58 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: that USC looked in that Bowl game with Miller Moss 59 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: and it says to me, Oh, this is what that 60 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: offense was supposed to look like. This is what timing 61 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: with the receivers are supposed to look like. So in 62 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: all honesty, I think Jad and Maveo made a huge 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: mistake even leaving Brendan Marian's offense and UNLV in the 64 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: first place. 65 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: You shouldn't wait till this year. Waited till this year, 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: go get more experience playing in it. But if he 67 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: ends up the starter after this year, wait, no, is 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: this Miller's last year or does Miller have one more 69 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: after this? 70 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: If Miller, if Miller balls out, because Miller's been this 71 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 2: is his fourth year there, okay, and as you pointed out, 72 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: so he's still got Miller Moss Miller. Moss has only 73 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: thrown ninety two live passes in the last four combined years, 74 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: so he's probably itching to like just prove it and 75 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: then not say any longer than he has to move on. 76 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: So Maveya could be in a great situation. And if 77 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: he gets hurt, like they just they are gluttonous over 78 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: there with the quarterbacks, it feels like they always got 79 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: a good, if not great quarterback, and I think they 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: have two awesome options. But I think we got a 81 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: preview of what the offense was supposed to look like 82 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: last year, and I think they made the right call. 83 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Well were Now both games are not always the greatest, 84 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: you know, indicator, but that should give Miller Moss a 85 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: lot of confidence in US. 86 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: Here's an indicator because you've had experience here. Miller Moss 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: had Bishop Alimaney as a contender in southern California when 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: he was a junior, and they have been maybe the 89 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: worst team in all of California in the four years since. 90 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: So let's let's use the fall off of his old 91 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: high school as more. 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: I'll let you and take that one, buddy, all right. 93 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Now another QB one the kid who left usc Malachi Nelson, 94 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: who people were enamored with in high school. Thought he 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: was the number one player in the country by some people. 96 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: He ends up at usc US, he's not in love 97 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: with his work, ethic not in love with him, and 98 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: he ends up in the transfer portal. Nobody fights, and 99 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: he ends up in the transfer portal, goes to Boise. 100 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that was a layup for 101 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: him to start there because it's a step down from USC. Well, 102 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: he lost the starting job to Maddox Madden, a under 103 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: six foot guy that doesn't look I mean, he may 104 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: turn out to be a really good quarterback, but he 105 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: doesn't look good getting off the bus. And coaches a 106 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: lot of times are enamored with players when they look 107 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: good getting off the bus, like they're like, oh my god, 108 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm so excited, look at this five star come through 109 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: and this and that, and so there's something going on 110 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: because it's not for a I've seen Malachi throw in person. 111 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: It is not for physical limitations. This is a between 112 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: the ears issue, whether it's work ethic, whether it's focused, 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, he got there and felt like 114 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: he was too big time and didn't put it into work. 115 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Like something is not translating, and it's gonna take a 116 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: wake up call for him because it's not talent alone 117 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: that I'm sorry, it's not talent like physical talent that 118 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: is holding him back and that I believe Ralph shows 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: and I talked about this with Tua and Brian Flores, 120 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: which Brian Flores tried to coach Tua, and you can't 121 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: coach quarterbacks. You have to develop and handle quarterbacks because 122 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: quarterback is the only position in football that you don't play. 123 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: You play wide receiver, you play offensive line, you play linebacker, 124 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: but you don't play quarterback. You are a quarterback. It's 125 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: a lifestyle and if you can't get the lifestyle right, 126 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: it's impossible to get the football right. 127 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: I agree. Here's what's interesting to me, And you've been 128 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: in situations that I just haven't been so contract disputes. 129 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: When you're with the Jaguars and somebody, uh, somebody is 130 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: in the middle of a contract dispute, they want more money. 131 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: Does it affect their attitude in the locker room and 132 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: how they go about their day to day. Yes, not 133 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: play on the field. 134 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes but not typically, But it does impact their their 135 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: attitude around the locker room, like they'll be cool with 136 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: their teammates and all of that stuff. And when it 137 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: comes to the coaches and front office, it is cold shoulder, buddy. 138 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 2: It is so the rumors, and again I want to 139 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: stress that these are rumors, but the rumors are that 140 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: he wasn't delivering everything they thought they were going to 141 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: get out of him as a backup to Caleb Williams 142 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: at USC last year, and that USC wasn't delivering all 143 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: they promised to him. Yes, as so now we're running 144 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: into an issue in college football where the stuff that 145 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: you saw in the pros could actually affect somebody's attitude 146 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: on the locker room. And then I might push back 147 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: on the national idea that it would be a layup 148 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: for Malachi Nelson to go to Boise State, and for 149 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: it to be a layup for this reason alone. He's 150 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: going to play for an offensive coordinator who runs probably 151 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: the most complex offense that you could run, you know, 152 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: in playing for Dirk Cutter and and and Dirk could 153 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: be a thing that rhymes with his first name sometimes. 154 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: And so Malachi Nelson put him in a situation where like, 155 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: if you want to play for him, you got to 156 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: be able to handle Dirt Cutter's attitude and his schemes. 157 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: I love that he challenged himself in that way, and 158 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 2: maybe it'll work itself out down the road. Some quarterbacks 159 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: do need more time to develop. But I do understand 160 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: like the microwave ready attitude and aspect of today's fans 161 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: thinking that he's a bust or something like that. We 162 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: don't know, and to go back to practice is harder 163 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: than the yeah, and to go back to practice is 164 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: hard in the game. They might not like what they 165 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: see in practice, but they might throw him out there 166 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: and he he could be really good, So you never 167 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: really know that. That's what happens with a lot of 168 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: these quarterbacks. You wonder why QB or an offensive coordinator 169 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: don't know what they have in the building. Well, some 170 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: people just look different in practice than they do when 171 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: when they get thrown out there. So you said it, 172 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: he's got a lot of time left. We'll see what happens. 173 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. The next one up is over at 174 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: oh Over at Arizona State, there was a big, you know, 175 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. So sam Levitt is named their starter for 176 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: day one, and that means that well Jay Jade Roshata 177 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: already transferred. That means Trenton Borgay is on the bench, 178 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: and so is Jeff Simms. This felt like a a 179 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: situation to me where Trenton Borgay is probably your best 180 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: option right now, but like not by much. And but 181 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: sam Levitt is gonna give you multiple years and they're 182 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to you know, not just 183 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: this year, but when and keep improving for the next 184 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: couple of years. And if sam Levitt doesn't play, he's 185 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: then going to transfer, and then you have nobody in 186 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: the building because Trenton this is his last year. So 187 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: and you know that Trenton will be okay if you 188 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: don't start him, that he's not going to pick up 189 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: and leave and transfer because he's got coaching aspirations. 190 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been fascinating to watch. Two years ago 191 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: at Arizona State, they brought in Emery Jones and they're like, 192 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: look what we got, Like this is going to be 193 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: the guy. By week five, Trent Borgay is picking up 194 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: the slack. Last year, they're like, dude, you're never gonna 195 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 2: believe this Jaden Rashota kid, Like, we're gonna give him 196 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: the keys right as a freshman. By week three, Trenton 197 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: Borget is picking up the slack. This year, we got 198 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: we got Sam levit In. There's a lot of Michigan 199 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: State fans who swear that this is uh somebody that 200 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: they would have loved to have if if there wasn't 201 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: a coaching transition they didn't get Aiden Chiles. He's an 202 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: interesting kid man, Yeah, he's he is an interesting kid. 203 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: Like he gives off a very much like a ski 204 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: movie villain vibe or like a Johnny Lawrence as a 205 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: original karate kid. 206 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,479 Speaker 1: Like he said, veself, my my My leadership style is harsh. 207 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was say, what. 208 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: You just got your fam yeahsh like you're not good 209 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: enough to be harsh. 210 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: Yet we'll see they're gonna throw him out there. And 211 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: you have to I believe that you have if because 212 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 2: you know what you're probably gonna get in Jeff Simms 213 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: high end and low and it's a big gap. You 214 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get with Trenton Borgay and you 215 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: know he's a sixth year and you explained it to me, 216 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: like he's moving on, and why they would be motivated 217 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 2: to put in somebody would be a multi year starter. 218 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: You know, they very much brought Sam Levitt into Start. 219 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: Jade Rashada knew that that's why he left, despite anything 220 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: anybody else wants to say, that's really what happened, and 221 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: so they brought Sam Levitt into Start. He didn't do 222 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: anything to fumble that bag. Now he's got to go 223 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: out against Wyoming in week one, who makes it ugly 224 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: against everybody, and he's got to show something. You could 225 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: justify that attitude. You could justify that attitude and your 226 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: teammates will buy into it if you're winning, and if 227 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: your teammates are an accessory to your eventual greatness, which 228 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: is kind of the air that Sam Levitt carries about him. 229 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: My teammates are an accessory to my eventual greatness. Arizona 230 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: State is a platform stepping stone to my eventual greatness. 231 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: People can deal with you, not like wanting to be 232 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: a sun devil, but wanting to use a sun devils 233 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: as you as your launching point if you're winning. If not, 234 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: this is gonna end up like twenty twenty one, twenty 235 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: twenty two, where I can imagine seeing a situation in 236 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: where Trenton Borgez comes in and he picks up the slack. 237 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: But for for for this offense, for Marcus Arroyo, for 238 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: Kenny Dillingham, like they need this to work out really 239 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: really bad, and they're going to have three opportunities in 240 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: non conference against two tough team. Two of those teams 241 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: will probably be really tough, and we'll see, and I'm 242 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: rooting for him. I don't mind getting another Rudy Carpenter 243 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: in there. I don't as long as we're winning. 244 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Dylan Ryola starting quarterback at Nebraska. Now 245 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: this is some people had him as the number one 246 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: player in the country for a very long time, and 247 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: he's a kid who big, strong, like he looks good 248 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: getting off the bus. Little chubby, but but he looks 249 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: good getting off the bus in terms of hype weight 250 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: and you're like, once we get him in our weight room, 251 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: this this this like we can you know, chisel this 252 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: thing out. And he's been named the starting quarterback over 253 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: at Nebraska, Dad's alma mater. He was committed to Georgia 254 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: for a while, ends up at Nebraska with Matt Ruhle 255 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: starting as a freshman. This is an opportunity for him. 256 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: If he comes out and plays well, this will validate 257 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: all of the previous criticisms, the questions about the three 258 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: hundred yard games in high school, how he was ranked 259 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: so high. 260 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: And I feel like you're talking about everything I've been saying. 261 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: I didn't see those criticisms from anybody but me. But yes, yeah, 262 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: I feel like you're talking to me right now. Two 263 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: things about Dylan Rayolo. Number one, it's not great that 264 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: he lost his starting left tackle right before the season. No, 265 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: it is great that this schedule is soft as baby shit, 266 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: right like it. 267 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: Is, Yeah, it is. It makes it much easier to 268 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: win football games when your schedule is h is light. 269 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: If you if you will. 270 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: So what was what was dj Huyaga La Lay's full 271 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: first year starting at Clemson. I know that it frustrated 272 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: Clemson fans because they had like the t the Trevor 273 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: Lawrence standard or whatever. But to me, that's what I 274 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: look at. If if if he can get through a 275 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: season with four hundred pass attempts, I don't think he'll 276 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: have fifty to fifty interceptions touchdowns because Ryola doesn't throw picks. 277 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: But if he could just survive the season and throw 278 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: the ball away, because this is a kid that takes 279 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: an unbelievable amount of sex. And that was okay in 280 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: high school when your six and you're bigger than everybody else, 281 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: but when the guy hitting you six five two thirty, 282 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: it might take a toll. 283 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, So they got UTEP, Colorado, Northern Iowa to 284 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: start the season, and there are two ranked teams that 285 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: they well three they have Ohio State, who will be 286 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: ranked when they play them. USC could possibly or could 287 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: possibly not be ranked, and the same thing as Iowa 288 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. 289 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: But all those come after week eight, right, yep. Getting 290 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: eight starts under your belt before things get crazy, or 291 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: seven starts under your beltfore things get crazy. This sets 292 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: up so so well for him, and I know, I 293 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: just know he's gonna succeed, and people are going to 294 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 2: come back to me and be like, you were the 295 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: only hater in the country on this kid. I'm not 296 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 2: being a hater. He didn't throw for a lot of 297 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: yards and he got sacked a billion times. Those are 298 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: just facts. And if they protect him at the next level, 299 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: he's gonna do what he did when he was protected 300 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 2: in high school. He's gonna throw bombs. 301 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: Yep. 302 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: So best of luck to him. I just he I 303 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: believe that if you're the best high school player in 304 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: the country, you should destroy other high schoolers. And he 305 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: didn't do that. 306 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: Yes, that now that is fair. At Baylor, the Kwan 307 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Finn is their starting quarterback. According to Dave Wilson and 308 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: Adam Rittenberg. He was a three year starter at Toledo 309 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Conference USA Player of the Year. No, no, I'm sorry, 310 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: Mac and yeah so, and he replaced Blake Shapin over 311 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: there at Baylor. And this is a situation where Baylor's 312 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: transitioning from a pro style offense to Jake Spavdol and 313 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: the spread offense. And this is everybody's last stand. This 314 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: is this is Dave A. Randa's last stand as head coach. 315 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: This is Jake Spavedol's last major opportunity as an offensive 316 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: coordinator anytime, anytime in the near future. Like he's gotta 317 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: put something like they both this is like, this is 318 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: where you can't be conservative. This is where you gotta like, hey, 319 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: here's everything, here's here's the kitchen sink, and we gotta 320 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: throw it at you. 321 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: Six years, six years at or he's going into a 322 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: sixty year five years at Toledo, nine thousand yards rushing 323 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 2: and passing like ninety touchdowns. If they can't make it 324 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 2: with the Kwan Finn, what are they gonna do? This 325 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: is somebody who won eleven years or won eleven games 326 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: last year in the MAC. I think their only losses 327 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 2: were too Illinois, which came by like two points, and 328 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: then Miami of Ohio and Wyoming in the bowl game. 329 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: All of those losses combined, I think were by a 330 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: total of twelve points. To Kwan Finn is awesome and 331 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: and if he can't get Baylor back into Bowl contention 332 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: eight wins, you have to hit the reset. But especially 333 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: with Jake Spavital as your offensive coordinator. You know, he's 334 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 2: boasting that he helped, you know, get Jared Goff to 335 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: be the number one overall pick. You have to, you 336 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: have to. And I think the fact that it was 337 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: even a contest up to this point, it was no contest. 338 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: You brought in somebody who started for the last three years, 339 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: played five years at Toledo, he was always going to 340 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: be the guy. 341 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense, all right? This this one is 342 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: very interesting. Well, well, this last was very interesting because 343 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: we have this one impacts San Diego State and the 344 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: University of Colorado and Dion Sanders because his officer coordinator 345 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: was Sean Lewis, team scoring over forty points a game, 346 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: he demotes him because Shader was taking so many sacks, 347 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: even though he took a ton of sacks. After he 348 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: was no longer officer coordinator, he gets then the head 349 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: coaching job at San Diego State. Danny O'Neil was committed 350 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: to Colorado. Really apparently he was committed to Sean Lewis. 351 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: Because Sean Lewis takes the San Diego State job, he 352 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: immediately decommits and commits to San Diego State, and now 353 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: Danny O'Neill is the starting quarterback over aj Duffy there 354 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: because aj Duffy was at Florida State first. If I'm not. 355 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, well funny aj Duffy story. 356 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: I feel like he was committed to like a bunch 357 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: of places. 358 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: He was going to Arizona State and Kenny Dillingham ripped 359 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: him to Florida State while he was still there. 360 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. 361 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: So, and then Kenny Dillingham left for Oregon, left him 362 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: with Norvelle and it didn't work out, so he goes 363 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 2: to San Diego State. Been interesting to watch as an ASU fan. 364 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: This is crazy because Dion trusted Sean Lewis to pick 365 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 2: his own quarterback. He didn't micromanage the situation. Danny O'Neill said, 366 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: when he committed to Colorado, I talked to Sean Lewis 367 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: and realized he's a really good person outside of football, 368 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: which was huge for him and his family. He thought 369 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 2: that he thought that Boulder was cool growing up in Indianapolis, 370 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: but it was really all about Sean Lewis. So I 371 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 2: think you nailed it. It makes following Danny O'Neill and 372 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: Sewn Lewis fascinated because I don't think there's a rivalry 373 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: there I don't necessarily think there's bad blood. But every 374 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: smart college football person I'd ever talked to thinks that 375 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: Sean Lewis is a genius. And if Sewn Lewis thinks 376 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 2: Danny O'Neal is that dude, then you almost. 377 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: Have to mige, guy. 378 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 2: You have to measure San Diego State against Colorado. You 379 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: measure everything against Colorado just because it's fun to do. 380 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: But this one in particular, we'll be watching and he's 381 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: not going to outperform Shoulder, There's no way in hell 382 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: that happens. But if he looks good, then I think 383 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: it's redemption. Obviously for Sean, his paycheck is redemption, but 384 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: it's redemption for Sean Lewis is a football guy. 385 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: All right. Now, let's get to these Week zero games, 386 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: because we got four games. We have Florida State versus 387 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, and that game is in Ireland in Dublin, 388 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: and we have and we also have hold On here 389 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: we Go. We also have Montana State, New Mexico, SMU, Nevada, 390 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: Delaware State, Hawaii Ralph. Which of these games do you 391 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: think will be the best game? Not the most popular game, 392 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: but the game that we're gonna at the end of 393 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: the night be like, oh my god. 394 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: Prop, I'm the Montana State game. Can you hear me? 395 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 396 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: Do we lose each other? 397 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: No? I got you. So yeah. So the Montana State 398 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: game A favorites, which is and that number has climbed. 399 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: So so let's let's do that game first and then 400 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: we'll go to the Florida State Georgia Tech the Montana 401 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: State New Mexico game. I was very surprised by that line. 402 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Two days ago, Montana State was an eleven point favorite 403 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: as an FCS team over an FBS team, which is outrageous. 404 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: It feels like in Montana State is the number four 405 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: team in the FCS rankings. They did get one first 406 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: place vote, but you're playing New Mexico and they're support 407 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: like that just shows that the FCS teams and the 408 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: lower end FBS teams are probably more on par than 409 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: people really want to admit that North Dakota State, South 410 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Dakota State, Montana State, and Montana who'll be washing it 411 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, are Yeah, they can give 412 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: some of these bottom n FBS teams the absolute business. 413 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, at New Mexico. New Mexico's tough Danni Gonzalez went 414 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: to New Mexico. It was his alma mater, and they 415 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 2: fired him too because he couldn't get it right. You know, 416 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 2: if they end up starting Devin damp here, they're gonna 417 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: have a dual threat at quarterback. That's gonna give them 418 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 2: some options. But this Montana State team is really really 419 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: interesting because they averaged forty last year playing multiple quarterbacks 420 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: due to injury, Seawn Chambers I think didn't play the 421 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: full season. So now they have this kid, I think 422 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: his Jordan name is Tommy Malott, and he never threw. 423 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: He had one game where he threw twenty four passes 424 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: last year. We averaged about eleven passing attempts last year 425 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: and mostly just ran the hell out of the ball. 426 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: He had won two three four hundred yard rushing games 427 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 2: and finished the year with a one hundred and fifty 428 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: yard rushing two touchdown performance against North Dakota State. So 429 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: this might be a quick game. You might see a 430 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: lot of quarterbacks running. But the interesting thing about Montana State, 431 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: Brent Brent Vision is their their head coach. He was 432 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 2: Josh Allen's offensive coordinator at at Wyoming, and so that's 433 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 2: kind of his claim the fame. That's a great question, man, 434 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: That's that's that's a great. 435 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: Question, one right, because you got on your resume. But 436 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: his college stats were not impressive at all. Completion percentage 437 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: was bad, yards and touchdowns weren't great. 438 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that. I'd be like telling somebody 439 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: you dated Angelina Jolie in high school, but you don't 440 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: show any pictures because she had like braces and head 441 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 2: gear or whatever. 442 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Hey, I was first to the party baby. 443 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: All right, So this number has climbed to thirteen and 444 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: a half. Who are you taking in this game? 445 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: I saw you take Montana State, and I I feel 446 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: like I just want to jump on the opposite side. 447 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: I know, I know, I full touchdowns now, It's yeah, 448 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: I think stuff has changed since. 449 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: The last time. Yeah, I gave predictions. 450 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: You see Bronco Mendenhall losing by two touchdowns. I don't 451 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: know if I do so, I'll give New Mexico the 452 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. I feel terrible about it. 453 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: I do too. I do too. I'm gonna stay with 454 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: my pick. 455 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: And you'll keep it at eleven too, because there's video 456 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 2: evidence that you put that out there. 457 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: Yes, I gotta keep it up eleven because this is 458 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: that's that and a half that nasty time all right now? 459 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, sorry the Florida State Georgia Tech. This game 460 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: is in Dublin at nine am on Saturday. This feels 461 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: like in Florida State is a ten and a half 462 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: point favorite. This number fell a little bit too. This 463 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: feels like upset potential or not covering potential all over 464 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: it because Florida State obviously a motion from last year 465 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: breaking in a new quarterback. Georgia Tech had a top 466 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: twenty five offense last year and has top ten returning production, 467 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: so that means you're an older team. Florida State lost 468 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: a ton to the NFL Draft, so they're gonna be 469 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: breaking in some younger players, players that haven't necessarily played 470 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: a ton. And then you got Georgia Tech, a more 471 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: veteran team. This feels like a recipe for an upset 472 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: and this is not this still, even though I picked 473 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: Florida State to go to the playoffs, this won't destroy 474 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: my playoff, but it does give them an acc loss, 475 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: which a little bit nerve wracking at the beginning of 476 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: the season. 477 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 2: If you okay, so I'm gonna give you a stat line, 478 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: and you tell me if you think Florida State would 479 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: win cover with this stat line from Dju okay, nineteen 480 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: of thirty two, two hundred and ten yards, one touchdown, 481 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: no interceptions. Do you think that'd be enough to get 482 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: the job done? 483 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: No? 484 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: Okay. So that exact stat line was actually Dju's first 485 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: game of the season in twenty twenty two when he 486 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: was at Clemson going up against Georgia Tech in Atlanta. 487 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: And for the viewers and listeners to this show, I 488 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: did have a hotel in Atlanta for a kickoff for 489 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: this game because I didn't know that it was in Dublin. 490 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 2: And so I gotta I gotta admit that I'm not 491 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: the smartest man alive, but when it comes to this game, 492 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 2: I'm I'm all in on Georgia Tech with you. Maybe 493 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: not for the upset, but definitely to cover because Georgia 494 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: Tech is a better team than they were two years 495 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: ago and I and Dju is a good quarterback. But 496 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: his first game against f BS opponents are just Power 497 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: five opponents. His first game against Power five opponents the 498 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: last three years has been not that great. In fact, 499 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: the Georgia Tech one is probably his best ever. But 500 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: his first game against Washington State last year he looked bad. 501 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: He fifty completions. His first game the twenty twenty one 502 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: season I was at. It was against Georgia Clemson didn't score, 503 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 2: like did not score. So I he is not a 504 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: guy who starts hot. He's a guy who has to 505 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: kind of warm up. He has played against this defense 506 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: to start a season before, and and you know, completed 507 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 2: about half his passes and and uh and only threw 508 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: one touchdown. So I think Florida State wins, but I 509 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: don't count on them to look as good as they're 510 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: going to look offensively right out of the gate. 511 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 1: Yep. So I'm taking Georgia Tech plus the points. All right, 512 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: Next game up SMU Nevada. SMU's favor by twenty five points. 513 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: Now and Nevada, who you know, they have had years 514 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: where they have been competitive. This does not feel like this. 515 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: This line is a non competitive line. And I mean 516 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: that's to be nice. Brendan Lewis, who won the quarterback battle. 517 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess sort of over at Nevada because 518 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: Cuba Party. He's been dealing with a shoulder injury all all. 519 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: You know, camp. 520 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: So I gotta help you on this one. I gotta 521 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 2: help you on this one because Cuba Hubbard is probably 522 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: what you're thinking of. He's just a regular Chubba. He's 523 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 2: got the short u. 524 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: Oh Chubba Yeah, okay, okay, Chubble chubb a party. I'm 525 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: glad let's corrected me. 526 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: But there is one Arizona quarterback every single year, like 527 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: a quarterback from the state of Arizona, who you intentionally 528 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: mispronounced their name all year. So if you want to 529 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: stick with Cuba, we can rock. 530 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: No. No, I'm gonna name him Chubba. I'm gonna call 531 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: him Hubba. So yeah, so Chubble Party not to be 532 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: confused with Cuba Hubbard has been He's been dealing with 533 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: his shoulder injury. He's not healthy. Brendan Lewis, who we 534 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: saw at Colorado and in Nevada last year kids only 535 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: thrown two touchdown passes in his last like one hundred 536 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: and thirty six passes. Hasn't been pretty. There hasn't been 537 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: a lot of offense following him, regardless of whether it 538 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: was Colorado, because Colorado was horrendous. So we got to 539 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: give him Mulligannaire and now Nevada's horrible. So I don't 540 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: know what to make of the kid or whether it's 541 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: the systems and the situations that he's been put in. 542 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: But this is twenty five points, and I believe that 543 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: SMU wants to start because they're paying their own way 544 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: in the ACC. They are going to want to show 545 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: rhtt lashly and everybody are going to want to show 546 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: everybody that they are about that action. This can SIMU 547 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: minus twenty five. They will cover this, buddy. 548 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I hate it too, because there's a lot of 549 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: guys affiliated with this Nevada team that I know that 550 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: you like or Nevada. I apologize Sean Dollars. I know 551 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 2: you're a Sean Dollars guy. 552 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: You want to see him do well, right, I forgot 553 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: about Sean dot Yeah it's been Oregon and now you 554 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: get his chance to get his shot over at Nevada. 555 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 2: And then they got they got Nate Burlas in the 556 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: second out there. I would love to see him do 557 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: some positive stuff. We we covered Brendan Lewis. We liked 558 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: Brendan Lewis. 559 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 560 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: He was like the only good part of that twenty 561 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: twenty one Colorado team. If you could call it good. 562 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: I would love to see him live up to the hype. Yeah, 563 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 2: so I want to see Nevada succeed. This is a 564 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: tough first straw. We know j Norvel left this because 565 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: they don't invest in football over there. It's a tough 566 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 2: place used to play. It's a tough place to win. 567 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna get smoked. I think this might 568 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 2: be the easiest money of the of the season is 569 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 2: taking SMU as a four touchdown favorite on nevatage. Shout 570 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 2: out to Jeff cho if he can, if he can 571 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 2: make that not happen. But SMU's somebody told me, SMU's 572 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: got like four offensive coordinators. Their points is all they 573 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 2: care about. 574 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, put them up. Light up the scoreboard, all right, 575 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: Last game up Delaware State Hawaii Hawaii. How do you 576 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: find a game where Hawaii is favored by forty But 577 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: the first thing is Delaware State has to actually get 578 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: to the football game. Like that's the first thing they 579 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: got to actually get to the football Yeah, because they 580 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: missed a They missed their flight to Hawaii on Tuesday 581 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: for a quote unquote was it bus snaffu or scheduling 582 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: snap fu something? But but here but this is a big school, 583 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: small school problem because Oregon, Alabama, even Nevada, they can't 584 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: miss a flight because it's a charter flight, so you 585 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: literally can't miss it. It leaves when you leave. And 586 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: so then my question was if Delaware State, if they 587 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: were flying commercial clearly to Hawaii, how are they gonna 588 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: find another flight with one hundred and twenty with one 589 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: hundred seats on it or they're gonna have to split? 590 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 2: You asked, Yeah, you asked that question. My question is this, 591 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 2: how are you gonna punish any individual player for missing 592 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: the bus this year? If you're Delaware State's coaching staff, 593 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 2: when your whole team missed the bus? 594 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: The hell do you miss a flight as a team? 595 00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: Don't know? 596 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: All right, So who were you taking? This's forty points? Dude? 597 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I I've always kind of had a soft 598 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: spot for Hawaii. I want to I forty points is 599 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 2: a lot, though, I don't do you remember when Stanford 600 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: had to like practice in a public park. 601 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: And then they won yep against Washington. 602 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's gonna be like that for 603 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 2: Delaware State. I think they're gonna be so disorganized. No, 604 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 2: they're not gonna win and you're right, but they're gonna 605 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 2: be so disorganized that they're not even gonna have time 606 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 2: to be nervous, you know what I mean? 607 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: So are you taking Delaware State plus forty? 608 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 2: Yeah? Plus forty? Sure? 609 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: Why not give me Hawaii minus forty? 610 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 2: Okay? 611 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: And you know, I run away from these lines like this. 612 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 2: Oh it's such a crap shoot spread. I hate that 613 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 2: we're even talking about it, but it is fun. I'm 614 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: just happy football is back, man. 615 00:36:54,040 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: Yep, me too. All right. So this phenomenon and this 616 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: trend of general managers in college football. So you have 617 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: Courtney Morgan over at Alabama, who came down from Washington 618 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: with Kaitlin Debora. When he went down there, he just 619 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: got a raise eight hundred and twenty five thousand dollars 620 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: a year on a three year contract. USC tried to 621 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: poach him. According to their message board, there was a 622 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: time that they thought that they were going to be 623 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: able to get Courtney Morgan, and Courtney Morgan's like, yeah, no, FAMA. 624 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 1: When I first saw it, I was like, I don't 625 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: think he's leaving Alabama. I think that they're gonna pay 626 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: him what they need to and if he has a choice, 627 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: to go to USC, which is obviously a great program, 628 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: great tradition all of this stuff, or stay at Alabama 629 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: where they have a lot more rope leeway and leverage, 630 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: versus going to USC to go build something a little 631 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: bit more. I'm probably gonna chill in Alabama a little 632 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: bit because he's a recruiting expert. He the general managers 633 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: kind of handle everything. It's like at Oregon there's Marshall Mauchow, 634 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: who was Mark who was at Texas A. And they 635 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: excuse me for fumbling anybody, but Marshall is that from 636 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: Texas A and m now up at Oregon and most 637 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: schools have them now a general manager or what they 638 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: call a chief of staff. And this is the point 639 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: that we've gotten to in college football that it's not 640 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: just the head coach that now you need. That the 641 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: head coach is now like the CEO, and there has 642 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: to be somebody below him to kind of handle all 643 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: the other stuff that the head coach should not necessarily 644 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: be involved in, and to manage the entire operation, the 645 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: budgets and everything in between. 646 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to read you a quote from Mike Gundy 647 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 2: at Oklahoma State, and I think it's going to explain 648 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 2: why this position is super necessary for any college that 649 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 2: is serious moving forward in the NIL era. This is 650 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 2: Mike Gundy talking. The good news is the next five months, 651 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 2: we can just play football. There's no negotiating Now, the 652 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 2: portal's over all, the negotiation's history. Now we're playing football. 653 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 2: The business side of what we do. Now we have 654 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 2: to have those conversations with the players. Tell your agent 655 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: to quit calling us and asking for more money. It's 656 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 2: non negotiable. Now it'll start again in December. So now 657 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 2: we're able to direct ourselves just in football, and that 658 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 2: part is fun. The fact that these head coaches and 659 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 2: this should give you a little bit of a window 660 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 2: into how busted the current system is, which is one 661 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 2: hundred percent because of the NCAA. Instead of trying to 662 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 2: anticipate this, tried to fight it, spend a bunch of 663 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: money trying to fight it, got smoked in court a 664 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: billion times over. Coaches are not supposed to be coordinating 665 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 2: with the NIL collectives, just like your super pack is 666 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 2: not supposed to be coordinating with the candidate, right, but 667 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 2: they absolutely are because you how would the collectives know 668 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 2: what players the coaches want? Yep and how would the 669 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 2: collectives know how much to allocate to certain players. Of 670 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: course they're coordinating, so Mike Gundy kind of yeah. So 671 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 2: now it's a general manager's job, and you have Mike 672 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 2: Gundy out here saying, tell your agents to quit calling 673 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: and trying to renegotiate midseason. 674 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: First, I absolutely love Mike Gundy for saying that. And 675 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm pro player, pro players getting paid. But 676 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: there's a time for pay, and there's a time for play. 677 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 1: It's playtime right now. And you don't want I mean players, 678 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 1: you may want renegotiation during the season, but you really 679 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: don't want that because it could go against you as well. 680 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: Get you get hurt, you get. 681 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 2: So what did that man do? He put the QR 682 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 2: codes on the helmet. He said, you could just direct 683 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: pay them. 684 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: Yep. I love that. I love that because that gives 685 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: fans an opportunity. Yo, my my, my favorite player. Snap, 686 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: here we go. Here's ten bucks. Man. Wait, two touchdowns. Oh, 687 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,479 Speaker 1: I've had a few drinks. Here's one hundred bucks. Three touchdowns. Oh, 688 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: we need to give him a new car. 689 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 2: And it is a collective fund. It is a collective fund. 690 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 2: So like he gets split, that dollar gets split one 691 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 2: hundred ways or whatever. But still I think Oklahoma State 692 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 2: for them losing seventeen starters before the twenty twenty three season. 693 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 2: They figured it out and sometimes it takes that type 694 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 2: of route awakening to make that adjustment. But now you 695 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 2: have Alabama pay eight hundred and twenty five thousand a 696 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,479 Speaker 2: year for this general manager position, really setting the bar 697 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 2: for what that's going to be, and Alabama has come 698 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 2: out the highest paid everybody. 699 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: And now people can that's another job that you can 700 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: aspire to. Now, not as the head coach, but but 701 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: if you can be efficient and you can be a 702 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, a leader, somebody who's organized and all of 703 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: that stuff, Like you don't have to be the x's 704 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: and o's person. The general manager has a totally different job. 705 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: So now there's a totally different job available in football. Two. 706 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: Now there's gonna be more non football people looking for 707 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: that job. 708 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, hey, And Steve Kime is available for 709 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 2: anybody who wants him. Even though it got announced that 710 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 2: Steve Kime is starting a ground up nil collective for 711 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 2: like the best middle school, like to it'll be like slotted. 712 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's I'm sure it's a necessary service. We'll 713 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 2: see how it works out. 714 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: He's based on his first offer. Got this kid's first 715 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: offer to Arizona State. 716 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's being and it's being run out of Charlotte 717 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 2: where Like so I'm I'll see if i can get 718 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 2: us hooked up with the UH with with an interview 719 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 2: for this because I'm fascinated by the process. I'm sure 720 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 2: it's necessary. 721 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: But like, let's he gets the yes, let's get Steve Kaime. 722 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 2: In for the age of the age of negotiating for 723 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 2: kids as young as as fourteen. Financial stuff has been here. 724 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 2: You're in California. You know this, but now it's like, 725 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 2: all right, we can shed some light on it. Which 726 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 2: is the sunlight's the best disinfectant. It's been necessary for 727 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 2: a long time. It is better for these kids to 728 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 2: be prepared for this madness than it is to be unprepared. 729 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,439 Speaker 2: No matter how much you don't let the nil era. 730 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 2: You don't want kids going in not knowing what to expect, 731 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: getting screwed over, bailing on your team halfway to the season. 732 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 2: You don't want that type of stuff. You want as 733 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 2: much stuff above board as possible. And it's been possible 734 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 2: because we pay all these administrators. We pay all these coaches, 735 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 2: and the players are the ones really driving out revenue. 736 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 2: So if we can set that up for the players, 737 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 2: I am absolutely all for it. Is it going to 738 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 2: be ugly process, Absolutely, it's going to be real ugly 739 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 2: on the way there. But I think the GM position 740 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 2: is is way more necessary than a lot of these 741 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 2: administrators they have at these colleges. 742 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:10,240 Speaker 1: Yep, you are one right final thing up our guy, 743 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: the nepotism king Kirk Farence. He is suspended for Iowa's 744 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: Week one game against Illinois State. When I woke up 745 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: this morning, I did not have that on my bingo 746 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: car route. I did not Kirk Farnce. What the hell 747 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: did he do to get suspended for recruiting violations and 748 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: not just a like This is what's confusing to me. 749 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what Kirk Ferrince did. 750 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,280 Speaker 2: They apparently, they apparently were in contact with Cade McNamara 751 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 2: prior to him entering the portal from Michigan. 752 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: Wait, so you got suspended for Kate McNamara. 753 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 2: For all five hundred and five yards and four touchdowns 754 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 2: that he threw last year. Yes, you got suspended for 755 00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 2: Cave McNamara. 756 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't think. 757 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 2: After the audio version, George's experience and a migraine. Yeah. So, 758 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 2: the funniest part about this is it is the best 759 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 2: justification for all the Michigan fans who have been like 760 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 2: everybody doesn't the fact that somebody got suspended for messing 761 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 2: with their players is just going to add fuel to 762 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 2: their very miserable fire that has been raging ever since 763 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 2: the whole cheeseburger gate and all that stuff. So, and 764 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 2: we know, we know, and we've talked about it on 765 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,919 Speaker 2: this show a bunch. Sharon Moore's contacting kids who weren't 766 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 2: in the portal yet, other people on the on the staff. 767 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: It's happening all over the place. You can't get caught though, 768 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 2: And a lot of this is player initiated. A lot 769 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: of this is player initiated. A lot of it. Yeah, 770 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 2: player and parent initiated. They'll reach out to somebody who 771 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 2: reaches out to somebody else and say, if I get 772 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 2: in the portal, will there be a spot for me near. 773 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: You? Yeah? You up? 774 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 2: How they get how they get busted for it is 775 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 2: interesting to me. I don't like, you know, is it 776 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: self reported? You know? How does this come out? Does 777 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,800 Speaker 2: it come out in an interview. But this is also 778 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 2: why it's important to develop relationships prior. This is why 779 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 2: you've got to be recruiting high school especially for this 780 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 2: a message for Dion Sanders. You got to be recruiting 781 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 2: high school kids because you need to have that relationship 782 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 2: development for when they yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

You got to have 785 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 2: all of those relationships developed in case you get them 786 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 2: on their third or fourth chance. That stuff's really important. 787 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 2: You you brought up Sam Levitt, right, you brought up 788 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 2: Sam Levitt Arizona State. Kenny Dillingham was at Florida State 789 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 2: when he gave Sam Levitt his first scholarship offer.
