Speaker 1: got a bunch of things up for you guys. So

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, yes, sir, ree, he is going to serve

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: as the honorary captain for Michigan's season Oh weather home opener.

32
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Dude? They are just rubbing this

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: in everybody's face. And we got to talk about the

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: whole shooting match, about what's going on there at Michigan

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: and the pushback from Michigan fans. All right, the coaches

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: are under pressure in the world of college football. Everybody

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: wants to give you the hot seat. We're not gonna

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: talk about the hot sea. We are gonna talk about

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the coaches that are actually under the most pressure in

40
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty four to twenty five season. And after

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: that it is The Unafraid Show Top twenty five. We

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: are officially putting that out in the world. It will

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: be there every single week for you guys. And the

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: SEC is considering an injury report, which is something to

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: college football coaches. Oh yeah, they like to keep things secret.

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Not anymore. And we're gonna play a game called next

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Man Up. And what happens when you have enough money

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to buy the naming rights to a stadium. I think

49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: that Pitt Bull has showed us he will be the

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: first of many more to do it. So we got

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: to start though with Jim Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh and

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the Michigan Wolverines. He has gotten a four year show

53
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: caused penalty, one year's suspension if he ever returns to

54
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the world of college football, So essentially there is no

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: penalty for Jim Harbaugh and Sharon Moore, who deleted fifty

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: two text messages to Connor Stallions and helped recruit players

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: as well. He is, you know, facing some potential sanctions,

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: so are other coaches who I think what five coaches

59
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: have Level two and some Level one recruiting violations. And

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Michigan fans think that this is over cheeseburger. Is not

61
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: over cheeburger. This has been This is significantly bigger than this.

62
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: But Ralph, Michigan fans think that this is a big

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: witch hunt. It's obviously not. But I want to start first.

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: With I have to ask you a question. Yea, because

65
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: which hunts happen? Which hunts absolutely happen?

66
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

67
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: And uh, but what happens when a witch walks into

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: a witch hunter's office and says I'm a witch?

69
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: That Hey, that's exactly what Michigan did. Okay, yes, it

70
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: is a witch hunt. But you walked in and said, hey,

71
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm a witch, I'm a witch. If you're looking for witches,

72
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: I'm here.

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: They said, come on, man.

74
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: So and so people have asked me on Twitter because

75
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: I've seen Michigan fans and I do not expect Michigan

76
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: fans to have any rational conversation about this, because they

77
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: have said that this is no big deal, that the

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: signs still in Connor Stallion is no big deal. But

79
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: the truth is, I've tried to explain to people as

80
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: a former professional athlete, if you can, and I asked

81
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: NFL scouts about it, because people like the rule is

82
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: dumb anyway. Well, the difference is is that NFL scouts, Yes,

83
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: they do Advanced Scout they can pull anything off the

84
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: TV copy, which is fair game, but you cannot be

85
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: videotaping the sideline or videotaping anything. This is why the

86
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: Patriots have gotten in trouble. Other teams have gotten in trouble,

87
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: lost draft picks, million dollar finds, everything else. So this

88
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: is a big deal. But the bigger part of it

89
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: is is what Jim Harbaugh got up there and said

90
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: in his press conference since he's been with the Chargers.

91
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have a comment on that. Never lie,

92
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: never cheat, never steal. I was raised with that lesson.

93
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: I have raised my family on that lesson.

94
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: I have preached that.

95
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: Lesson to the teams that I've coached. No one's perfect.

96
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: If you stumble, you apologize, and you make it right. Today,

97
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: I do not apologize. I did not participate, was not

98
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: aware nor complicit in those set allegations. So for me,

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: it's back to work and attacking with an enthusiasm unknown

100
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: to mankind.

101
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: So Ralph, when I first heard that, and after I

102
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: sat down digested it for a minute, waited a few

103
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: hours because you know, because sometimes you have an initial

104
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: reaction and then you gotta process it through. It's like

105
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: having a conversation with your wife or your family, and

106
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: you're like, I want to go here. Let me sit

107
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: back and think about it for a second. And where

108
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I've landed is because I have respect for Jim Harbaugh

109
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but giving us the integrity speech

110
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: while all of this happened under your watch. So you

111
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: are either an unwitting idiot, right, or you're a liar.

112
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot of room in between

113
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: those two things. So you're in either well three three options.

114
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: You're an unwitting idiot, which I cannot believe because college

115
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: football coaches are notoriously adamant about knowing everything that's going

116
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: on in their program when it comes to recruiting, when

117
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: it comes to practices, and if you're preaching to your

118
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: staff don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, then you're gonna

119
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: be any you know, reference of that or anything like that.

120
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: You are gonna put the cabash on it. He hired

121
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Connor Stallions an analyst. Why it's not like he's a

122
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: former football guy or something like that, so he was

123
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: bringing some value. So either he's an unwitting idiot or

124
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: he whenever something was going on, he was like no, no, no, no,

125
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: la la la la la, I'm walking out the room.

126
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm walking out the room. I don't want to hear it.

127
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Or he's a liar Ralph? Is there any other And

128
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: then just to be like I didn't participate, it didn't

129
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: have anything to do with it. Even if you were

130
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: an unwitting idiot, you should not be in charge of

131
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: an organization if the people because that means the people

132
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: that you hired don't respect you. That means that they

133
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: were like, man, if what Jim said about this, no, lie,

134
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: don't tip. We do what we want to do around here.

135
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: Man, I don't think everything can be known. I think

136
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: at some point we have to have a conversation on

137
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: whether whether it's even possible to know everybody's intentions. Everybody's hard,

138
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: what everybody's up to. You do have the ability to

139
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: set the tone. So if you say I was unwitting that,

140
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: I think the ultimate emission is that you're you were

141
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: not enough to inspire the uh the integrity that you

142
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: said that you set out to in your program. And

143
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: I think if you're a Chargers fan, you got to

144
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: be looking at that like, oh, is he all that

145
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: he was cracked? Up to me. We just gave this

146
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: man eighty million dollars to come in and be a

147
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: leader to inspire others. And I don't you know, and

148
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: if you're saying that, like I couldn't even inspire my

149
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: coaches to follow the rules, and you got they had

150
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: they had a So here's what it went down with Michigan.

151
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't just you know, the the whole cheeseburger thing,

152
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: the whole COVID contact thing. You know, there was the

153
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: Connor Stallions thing. But they also had a coach fired

154
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: where like the FBI came and raided offices and they

155
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: are something like that, and they they've not talked about

156
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: that yet. They also had a coach at the lower

157
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: lower level, like an analyst or whatever it, get busted

158
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: for soliciting minors, you know, And and we know you

159
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: and I know that Michigan wasn't clean. Nobody's clean clean, ye,

160
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: But if somebody at my level can call you and say, hey, George,

161
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Michigan's about to get this player that's on another roster

162
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: because they're illegally in contact with him now, and then

163
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: a week later that player enters the transfer portal and

164
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: announces for that school. How should somebody at my level

165
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: know that Michigan is doing stuff they're not supposed to

166
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: and that happened like that is a literal thing that happened.

167
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: So and you know, that sort of thing doesn't bother

168
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: me at all, like the like the recruiting and the still.

169
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: People think any of this stuff should bother anyone. It's

170
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: maybe that's what Michigan fans are stuck on, is that, hey,

171
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: this isn't a big deal. And if you're a Michigan

172
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: fan and you can come to me and say that

173
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: I rode hard for Jim Tressel when he got in

174
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: trouble and I had Mel Tucker's back, then maybe I'll

175
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: listen to you. But if you're just a fan being

176
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 2: a fan, I don't want to hear it. Because I

177
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: cover Arizona State and then I'm Arizona State fan. You know,

178
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: after I left covering them professionally, you know, I watched

179
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: Arizona State go through very similar covidvice restrictions, and I

180
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: watched them try to use the excuse that they didn't

181
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: know what was going on. When I knew that was

182
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: a lie. I knew that that was set from the

183
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: top down, so you know, I want.

184
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: Other people's I think it's the lie that bothers people

185
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: the most because I remember around the worst trouble I

186
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: ever got. I got the worst whooping ever. I was

187
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: in fifth grade. I was going to Mosquite Elementary and

188
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: my dad previously had bought us some tennis balls, so

189
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: we used to play baseball out in the street. We

190
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: then hit the balls all over the place. Can't find

191
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the tennis balls. I'm in charge of the shed at school.

192
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: I see some extra tennis balls. I'm like, damn, we

193
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: out of tennis balls. I'm gonna grab a couple of

194
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: these joints. And I made the mistake of well, in

195
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: addition to stealing some tennis balls, I made the mistake

196
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: of telling somebody, and that person told the teacher. Teacher

197
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: called my dad in. Dad says, George, did you steal

198
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: the tennis balls? No, George, if you stole the tennis boss,

199
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: just just tell me, you know, like we'll be all right. No, Dad,

200
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: I didn't steal the tennis balls. My dad goes in

201
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: there riding for me. My son is still these damn

202
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: tennis balls. I just bought him tennis boss, which was

203
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: which was true? I just bought them tennis balls. And

204
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: then she was like, well, these these balls that were

205
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: in his backpack, they have their special market on me.

206
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: You can't buy them from the store. You can only

207
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: order them, like schools only are allowed to order them.

208
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: Blah blah. She shoot them in the map magazine. I

209
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: got home, got my ass whooked. My dad was like, listen,

210
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm like your your lawyer. You don't lie to me.

211
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: And he was more upset that I lied to him

212
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: about it and made him look stupid in the process

213
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: than the fact that I actually took the tennis balls,

214
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: which he would have been upset about too, but had

215
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: I just fessed up, because it's the arrogant that makes

216
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: people upset, which is you got the audacity to do

217
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: it and then sit up there and lie on my

218
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: face like I'm stupid. I think that that, and then

219
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: that makes people want to dig into it even more,

220
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to if Jim Harball just said, look, yes,

221
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: yes I did it. I mean I'm not coming back

222
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: to college football anyway. Yes, yes we did it. This

223
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: was a stupid rule. We shouldn't have done it. This, this, this,

224
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: and just be like, hey, yo, I take responsibility for it,

225
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: because if he just took responsibility for it instead of

226
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: letting it land at other people's feet and being like, Okay,

227
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: well I'm going I had nothing nothing to do with it.

228
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: That's the issue. And I think that he is not

229
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: going to look good in that Netflix documentary because something's

230
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: in that Netflix documentary because the NCAA started releasing more

231
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: and more information real quick.

232
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the stuff that's out there, I don't

233
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: think we should know, right what do you mean, like

234
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: some of the stuff that is being released, I don't

235
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean through Pete Dammel or other sources. I don't

236
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: think that was for us to know yet. No, So

237
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: the fact that the NC double A is on the offensive,

238
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: you know that this could certainly, this could certainly get ugly.

239
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, he's not the only NFL head coach

240
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: that refused to participate with an nc DOUBLEA investigation. We

241
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: got Antonio Pierce too, and they're not going after him

242
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: the way they're going after Jim Harbaugh. So I don't

243
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: know what he did to piss them off. I instinctially,

244
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: I always wanted to fend Jim Harbaugh. I wrote that

245
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: man a letter when I was a kid, he sent

246
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: me an autograph back that you made an impression on

247
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: me when I was eight nine years old. That like,

248
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I love this dude. So I like

249
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: and he seems like a great guy. He seems like

250
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: he gets the most out of people. We watched him

251
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: turn the forty nine ers into winners. We watched him

252
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: turn Stanford into winners. He was a killer at University

253
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: of San Diego. Like, I love the dude. I think

254
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: he's a fantastic football coach. And if the way to

255
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: win is to find ways around the rules, then I

256
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think there's any shame in that

257
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: and saying like hey, I'm out of that game now,

258
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: I'm never going back. They can hit you with a

259
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: fifty year show cause for a like here, the fact

260
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: of the matter is I didn't agree with the rules.

261
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: I was a conscientious objector on some of that stuff.

262
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: We got the hard way to prove it.

263
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: And that's where things get tricky because the ncublea and

264
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: this is why college football needs a commissioner. Is there

265
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: needed to be swift action on this. And because Michigan

266
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: won the national championship, you can vacate a win all

267
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: you want to, but we saw it happen, just like

268
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush's heisman, just like USC winning the National Championship,

269
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: beating the hell out of Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.

270
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: We saw it. You can't undo it. We saw Memphis

271
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: play Kansas in the National Championship game. Even though Memphis

272
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: has no winst that year. We saw it. You can't

273
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: make us unsee something. So and Michigan won the championship

274
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: in the College Football Playoff. Regardless of what you think

275
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: they did prior. They were fair and square after that.

276
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: So you can't discount what they did on the field,

277
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: but you can say that the sign stealing had an

278
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: impact on wins and losses because you don't have to

279
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: get all the plays right. You just have to get

280
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: some crucial plays right. And if Michigan, if it was

281
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: having no benefit, why on earth would the defensive coordinator

282
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and the oppositive coordinator be having Connor Stallions standing right

283
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: next to them feeding them information. Because oppositive defensive coordinators

284
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: are very busy during the game. They don't, you know,

285
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: powow with everybody, So why would they be listening to

286
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: other people? If I mean this low level analyst who

287
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: means nothing if it holds no value.

288
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: Do you think a scenario exists in which Connor Stallions

289
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: lied about his sources and the source of his information

290
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: and just tried to paint himself as an indispensable genius.

291
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think he would have provided

292
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 2: that own that cover to inflate his own importance in

293
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: the in the program obviously important, but like for for

294
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 2: them to think like, oh that this man is just

295
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: like John Boy media with the lip reading, like he's

296
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: just that good. Uh, Like, do you think he would

297
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: let people believe that to to inflate himself or do

298
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: you think, okay, so on that. Then you can let

299
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: some people off the hook for for that, because I'll

300
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: take whatever advantage comes my way if I don't know

301
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: that it's being obtained illegally.

302
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no no no. See See, coaches

303
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: have been doing this for a very long time. They

304
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: either thought that this dude was some rain man genius,

305
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: which they didn't. They just weren't gonna ask questions, but

306
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: they knew something like you know when something's up, because

307
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. Nobody else has this sort of

308
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: information readily available on the sidelines, and all of this stuff,

309
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: so they knew he was getting it from from somewhere.

310
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: But and here's the truth about Connor Stallions. Connor Stallions

311
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: is like a is like a stalker. Connor Stallions is

312
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: like a stalker for a celebrity. He wanted it, and

313
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Michigan football was his celebrity. He wanted to make himself

314
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: like it's like watching the Bodyguard or somebody they like.

315
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: They think that you're in love with them too, so

316
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: he wanted to cuddle up and nestle in there like

317
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: he was like a tapeworm. He was burrowing himself further

318
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: into the university and into the football program to make

319
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: himself indispensable because he just wanted to be part of

320
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: the program. He loved Michigan football. This is an obsession.

321
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: This is an obsessed person who was willing to do anything. So, yes,

322
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: this is Connor Stallion's fault, but this is also Michigan's

323
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: fault for allowing this because there's no way that nobody

324
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: knew that this was going on. And there are also

325
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: some other allegations that have not come out yet about

326
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: information that Michigan had access to, and if that turns

327
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: out to be true, they are gonna get hit with.

328
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean like that, that would be probably one of

329
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the more damning things that I've ever heard of, of,

330
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: like a data breach when it comes to college football,

331
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: and it's the one thing that college coaches are most

332
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: terrified about.

333
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know. Do you think this will

334
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: change college football? You think people are gonna go around,

335
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: try to get a handle on their staff, try to

336
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: clean house, try to cover up whatever they can. Yes,

337
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: because of Connor stallions, Yes.

338
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: What you you can't. You must tie up all loose

339
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: ends because at some point in time, somebody is gonna

340
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: get to get to yapping and you do not want that.

341
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta tie like you. You gotta button up

342
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: all and sweep out your dusty corners. So you gotta

343
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: pay off who you need to pay off to go away.

344
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: You gotta make it before something comes comes out, because

345
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: you gotta remember.

346
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: That.

347
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Through the course of this Michigan investigation, it's just like

348
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: the the Hugh Freeze phone or the book Richard Senate

349
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: at Arizona and the NCAA investigation that was over a

350
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: dude named Marty Blazer in Atlanta, a financial advisor who

351
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: got in trouble and then he was like, I know

352
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: something over here. So a lot of these investigations don't

353
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: even start at the place that you thought they were,

354
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: and then you end up with people's phone wreckers and

355
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: everything else and it goes absolutely sideways. But Sharon Moore,

356
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Michigan's new head coach, Ralph, he's under a lot of

357
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: pressure this year. He is under a lot of pressure.

358
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: And we have a video on on a FRAID show

359
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: coming out about the coaches, the ten coaches who are

360
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: under the most pressure in the world of college football

361
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: this season. So we kind of wanted to go over

362
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of that and the coaches, because

363
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: pressure doesn't always look like a coach is gonna get fired,

364
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: because sometimes there's pressure to just make the playoff, when

365
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: your conference, have a winning season, all sorts of things

366
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: in between. And Sharon Moore, obviously, because of like, he's

367
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: not gonna get fired unless there's crazy allegations that come

368
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: out about him and what they were doing in Michigan,

369
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: has to clean house. But there is a situation Ralph

370
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: where he is like, we didn't think that he was

371
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: one of the under the most pressure, one of the

372
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: ten coaches under the most pressure when we made the video.

373
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: But now, Ralph, do you think he is one of

374
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: the coaches under the most pressure.

375
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think Michigan fans in the Michigan

376
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: program has thought a lot of itself over the last

377
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty five years. They never accepted that they were.

378
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: They went from great to good. They never accepted that,

379
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: you know, through money at Rich ra, through money at

380
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, doing you know, doing whatever they can to

381
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: get back to where they believe they belong. And they

382
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: finally pulled it off, back to that college football playoff

383
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: appearances and the champion. Yeah, at no point when they

384
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: were down and out, believed they were anything less than

385
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: blue blood and one of the greatest programs in the country.

386
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm bringing.

387
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: That up is Bogo tickets to the Big House.

388
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: Exactly. And so they they they never believe and some

389
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: might believe that that level of delusion is help is

390
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: what helped bring them back like it. However, however, because

391
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: they have that level of like, you know, we don't

392
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: surrender one inch an inch, right, the idea that keeping

393
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: Sharon more around could cause distractions or be frustrated when

394
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: they don't really have the same allegiance to him that

395
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: they had to Jim Harbaugh. They might say that they do,

396
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: but at the same time, he wasn't the head man

397
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: when they got a championship, and I don't think it's

398
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: worth it for them to be picked at by every

399
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: other team in the conference saying, oh, you still got

400
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 2: a you know, a cheater in charge or whatever. I

401
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: think they'd be more than happy to move on from

402
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: him if they believe that they're going to maintain the

403
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: level that they're at and they can rid themselves of

404
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: some of the distractions provided by keeping him on when

405
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: he's implicated in multiple situations and so you know, or

406
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: maybe they do have that same energy to just close

407
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: ranks and defend all Michigan men at all costs, but

408
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't believe that to be the case. I think

409
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: that they're gonna want to move on from this in

410
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: some some substantive way. And I don't know what happens

411
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: when when a coach that is still employed gets hit

412
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: with the show cause I don't know what happens. So

413
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: Michigan's options are defiance or it doesn't matter who's in

414
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: charge more Michigan, and I could easily see them going

415
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: in a either direction.

416
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, So here are some of the coaches that we

417
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: looked at and we're like, yo, this is this is

418
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a pressure cooker of a season for them,

419
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: even though that they may not be on the verge

420
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: of getting fired. And and Ryan Day is one of

421
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: those coaches because he has to walk a tight rope

422
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: at Ohio State this season. Ohio State has a Obviously,

423
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: they have a tough schedule. They have Oregon, they have Michigan,

424
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: and when you have that alone on your schedule, Bro,

425
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: you are like, that's major, that's significant. But they do

426
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: have an incredible roster. And when you have an incredible roster, incredible,

427
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: you know people are going to want incredible results. So

428
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: I was trying to think like, he's so he hired

429
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly to be his offensive coordinator, But what does

430
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: a record like does eleven and one even without a

431
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: national championship suffice And I don't think so, Ralph. I

432
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: think that it is championship or bust. Beat Michigan or bust.

433
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: And even if he goes to College Football Playoff and

434
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: loses to Oregon and Michigan this year, it's gonna be

435
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: a problem. Ralph.

436
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if Kyle McCord throws forty touchdowns for Syracuse.

437
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: Let's say that Kyle McCord is a Heisman contender. Let's

438
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: say that Ohio State is eight and oh eight and

439
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: oh Michigan game coming up in a month, but Kyle

440
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: McCord is a Heisman contender. I can foresee Ohio State

441
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: fans calling for Ryan Day's job while they're undefeated before

442
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: the Michigan game. Well, that's how thin the ice is.

443
00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because if Will Howard is just okay, that's

444
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem.

445
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: Because, yeah, if Will Howard looks like Kyle McCord did

446
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: last year, which was adequate, colle McCord was.

447
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: See. I think that that, see, Ralph, I think that

448
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: that's where the rub is right, is that Ryan Day

449
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: has not lost very many games. Like, coaches don't get

450
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: fired generally for doing what Ryan Day has done in

451
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: terms of a win loss record. Coaches don't get fired

452
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: for that. But at Ohio State, when they put so

453
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: much nil money into building up this roster, I don't

454
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: know how anything besides even a loss in the National

455
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: Championship Game is going to be acceptable.

456
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: A one second, I'm gonna switch to a different internet.

457
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening.

458
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: So Ryan Days's situation is tough, dude, I mean, you

459
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: don't have that sort of record and get fired. But

460
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: at Michigan, I mean, at Ohio State, the way their

461
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: roster is set up and everything else, like a championship

462
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: is the goal. The next one that we want to

463
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: highlight from the video is Billy Napier down there at

464
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: Florida ralph I just don't He's a good coach, and

465
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: I think that that's how people are gonna start sentences.

466
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: He's a good coach. But at the end of the day,

467
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: winning matters and regardless and there are and you're not

468
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of excuses, especially not at the

469
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: University of Florida. So and people talk about their schedule

470
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: this year, which is tough. They got Miami, then they

471
00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: play Sanford, Texas A and m Mississippi State, UCF, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, LSU,

472
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: oh Miss and Florida State. That's a hell of a schedule.

473
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: I respect this schedule. This is a this is what

474
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: a college football schedule is supposed to look like. Lincoln

475
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Riley trying to run from playing LSU run from Notre

476
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: Dame don't do it. But Billy Napier Ralph, I'm not

477
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: sure if they're I know their fans know the schedule

478
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: is tough and they're hoping for the best, but they're

479
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: over under is like five wins, So if they get

480
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: to seven, Florida fans should actually be happy, right, But

481
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're gonna be okay with seven

482
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: wins if he can get.

483
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: To that, I think that Florida fans, you know, we

484
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: just called Michigan fans a level of delusional. That may

485
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: have helped the program come back. Florida fans I don't.

486
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't get that sense from them, but I tell

487
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: you that doc documentary coming out last year didn't help. Yeah,

488
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: that might have been the worst possible thing for Napier

489
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: because you just reminded Florida that at one point it

490
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: was Alabama, right, Like, at what point Florida was Georgia? Yes,

491
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: and everybody wants to believe that. You know, once you're

492
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: on the ride, it's never gonna end. But things change,

493
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: especially when you get good. Everybody's gonna want your staff members.

494
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: And that's on field coaches, off field coaches, you know,

495
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna come up off that stuff, and at the

496
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's really just you having to

497
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: reset the culture over and over and over again. It's

498
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: hard to stay good forever, but you do have to

499
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: be You do have to let somebody cook. And I

500
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, I'm not mad about the direction

501
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: of college football. I'm really not. And I will argue

502
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: with people on the internet about you know, it's ruined

503
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: because the players get to make money in the transfer

504
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: portal and everything. However, Billy Napier is the kind of

505
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: football coach to I'm not sure this environment serves. You know.

506
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: Maybe he'd be great in the NFL. Maybe he would

507
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: never lose a game at the high school level, maybe

508
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: he would be a ten time in a row FCS champion.

509
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: But we're talking about the SEC. When Missouri just hired

510
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: a GM. Yeah, like they hired a G and like

511
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: outside the program as part of the NI But that's

512
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: what it is, you know. And so you know, it's

513
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: like going from somebody's campaign manager to their super pac

514
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: manager when the super PACs actually not allowed to communicate

515
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: with the campaign.

516
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: We all know when you served them both roles all you.

517
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 2: Got to do is communicate with yourself, right, So that's

518
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: what Missouri's doing. You know, Florida needs to acquire the

519
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: type of players that it's going to take to win,

520
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: and they're gonna have to hold on to guys. And

521
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: they're still recruiting at a very high level out there.

522
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: But if they don't, if they don't have a winning

523
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: record when the season ends, I'm not even counting bowls

524
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: or anything like that. I don't I don't know if

525
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: there's going to be an appetite in Gainesville to have

526
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: him return. And that sucks because I think maybe they're

527
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: probably about a year away. But they start this season

528
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: off staring down cam Ward, right, Yes, that's how they

529
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: start the year. I don't know, man, I want to

530
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: say that, like, maybe the biggest surprise in the world

531
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: to me would be Florida with eight wins. Florida with

532
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: eight wins, to me, that's a monster season given the schedule,

533
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: they have, the level of talent they're currently at. I'm

534
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not sure about them at quarterback.

535
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, at least for this year because they got

536
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: the the who's that Underwood coming in next year? Oh no, Well,

537
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: he's a freshman this year, so yeah, that's very interesting.

538
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: The last one that we want to talk about is

539
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders over at Colorado. Deon Sanders is not in

540
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: jeopardy of getting fired. I just wonder if, like he

541
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: needs to win to keep up the way he wants

542
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: to do things to keep I think, to keep the

543
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: love for doing this because he's not recruiting high school

544
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: at a high level and people trying to exist out

545
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: of the transfer portal. It doesn't work. It's like trying

546
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: to build a champion through only free agency in the

547
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: NFL or in the MLB, it doesn't work. Like, yeah,

548
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: you can put together some good teams sometimes, but particularly

549
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: on the offensive and defensive line, Like you have to

550
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: have continuity, particularly on the offensive line, because when they

551
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: look at the best offensive lines and the guys that

552
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: perform every year the best, it's usually the ones that

553
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: have the most starts together. And he is an entirely

554
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: different offensive line than last year, which was bad last year.

555
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: And instead of developing some of those players and keeping

556
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: them around and then saying all right, cool, we got

557
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: to pitch and patch. So now you've got dudes that

558
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: haven't played together expecting them to play well together when

559
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: your skill positions are they have one of the best

560
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: skill position groups on the office of and the defensive

561
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: side in the entire nation. Like they're one of the

562
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: better skill groups between quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight end dB.

563
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, like they are excellent and they're in the

564
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: upper you know, fifteen twenty in the league, in all

565
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: the college football in that area. But Ralph, I just

566
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: don't think that Dion Sanders is going to be able

567
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: to last in Colorado because he's not going to be

568
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: able to accumulate the talent that he wants to because

569
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: he does not prioritize high school recruiting.

570
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have a question for you, George, how

571
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: much in your third year to Oregon, how much were

572
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: you getting treatment stretching before games stuff like that, Like,

573
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: how how much did you put into the off the

574
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: field preparation that didn't have anything to do with practice

575
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: or natural athletics?

576
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: A lot more than I did as a freshman.

577
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: You know what, what about year five in the NFL? Oh?

578
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: Oh what one percent? Yeah? It was. It was a

579
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: good level because I've been hurt a couple of times

580
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I have to do all

581
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: of this stuff to be able to be ready to play.

582
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 2: Did you ever run into anybody who lost interest when

583
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: that became the requirement, when when they more went into

584
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: preparation than practice, Yes.

585
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: And then they were like, I don't want to do

586
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: this anymore.

587
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that that's what I think about with Dion

588
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 2: is some of this stuff has been easy, too easy.

589
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: He has been the one of the most famous people

590
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: on earth my entire life, my entire life, and the

591
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: attention that he brings, in the excitement that he brings,

592
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: in the stage that he allows his players to compete

593
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 2: on all great things. I think he's been a shot

594
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: in the arm for college football. I love having him around,

595
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: even his weird o fans that have nothing to do

596
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: with the University of Colorado that have made life on

597
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: the internet miserable for everyone. I like them too. Uh,

598
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: it's all been fun for me. But you look at

599
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 2: the fact that, like you're not recruiting the high school level,

600
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: you are one year away from not having, as you

601
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: always put it, your three sons on the team anymore.

602
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: Yes, should and Travis Hunter.

603
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: I fear that he runs a risk of losing interest

604
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: in the process when he's not surrounded by his people

605
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: when the grind of the job, when when the inevitability

606
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: of the grind of the job comes comes to really

607
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 2: take hold.

608
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he don't want to get on recruiting. He

609
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: doesn't want you.

610
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: And you talked about like this man will turn in

611
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: his luggage. He's done it twice. Right, he said, I'm

612
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: bringing Louis And then I don't know what's about Louis

613
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: because I have Columbia bags from the outlet mall. But

614
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what's above Louis. But he traded up again, right, However,

615
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: what else did he do last year? George? He didn't

616
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 2: just blame that offensive line for everything that was happening

617
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: to Shadur and the fact that they lost seven straight

618
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: after beating Arizona State. He also blamed Sean Lewis took

619
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: his play calling duties away, when everyone in the country

620
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: knows Sean Lewis is the man. How many offensive coordinators

621
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: have been relieved of their duties only to get a

622
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: head coaching job at a very good football stad just

623
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: a couple of months later.

624
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a head coaching job. No, but I was

625
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: going to say Minnesota's officer coordinator getting hired by got

626
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: by Carl Derrell.

627
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think your boy Jake Spavital had his

628
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: his duties ranked yanked.

629
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: At col last year. Yep, and now he's an office coordinator.

630
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: Yes, but head coach Like that just goes to show you,

631
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: like the entire country was like, Okay, Dion, Yeah, Sean

632
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: Lewis is your problem on offense. And you know that

633
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 2: Dion wasn't even all about that, because then all the

634
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: offensive lineman gotta go at the end of the year,

635
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: whose fault is it? Really? Everyone but yours. That's got

636
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: to get exhausting, and it's gonna be tough to keep

637
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: players around and have some consistency.

638
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: And when when you don't have I can't just say

639
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: every year, man, these dudes don't want it bad enough.

640
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: I got to find some guys who really want it

641
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: bad enough. Know what you need to do is recruit

642
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: the high school, develop your players, fill spots with transfer

643
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: portal players, and do that for like three years, and

644
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: then you can have a really really good football team.

645
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I worry. I worry. We have Jordan's situation,

646
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: like Michael Jordan draft Kwame Brown and wonders why he's

647
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 2: not as good as as good as Charles Oakley on

648
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: day one. People have to develop. Not everyone is born

649
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: for this. A lot of people have to be made.

650
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: Is Deon a maker now? At the same time, the

651
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: Colorado Colorado is dealing with a lot of nonsense outside noise,

652
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 2: stuff people kind of making up stuff about the program.

653
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 2: That gets old too. That gets old because you don't

654
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: deserve to have people lying about you.

655
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: You don't, Yes, that's a fact.

656
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: And they push back everything, and that's got to get

657
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: tiring when you always are out there having a SmackDown

658
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 2: rumors instead of focus on football. Why wouldn't you want

659
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just say, all right, y'all, don't appreciate me. Peace.

660
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: See if you can do this without me? And they can't.

661
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 2: That Colorado knows it can't. So Colorado's gonna do everything

662
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: they can to circle the wagons and defend him. Yes,

663
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: but these college football fans and media members that are

664
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: trying to chase him out of the game because they

665
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: don't like the way that he does things, Your life

666
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: without him is not going to be as good. I

667
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 2: promise you that, yep.

668
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, So you should actually be hoping that he

669
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: does have success, and you guys may make sure that

670
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: you guys go check out the video on YouTube out

671
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: the college football coaches that are under the most pressure

672
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: right now. But now, speaking of pressure, ha, we were

673
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure because we had to put

674
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: together the top twenty five for this season. This is

675
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: a collaborative effort, and uh yeah, we'll just show you

676
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: what the top twenty five in the preseason looks like

677
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: coming in here for Unafraid Shoke. So, Ralph, here's what

678
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: we got. We got Georgia one, Oregon two, Ohio State, Texas, Ole, Miss,

679
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Alabama, Utah, Penn State, Florida State round out

680
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: the top ten. And are there any of these, Ralph

681
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: that we put up that is going to draw that

682
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: people are going to be upset about.

683
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: I think it's a really solid top ten. I don't

684
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 2: anticipate anybody being all that mad. I will say this,

685
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: I believe Ohio State is the best team in the country. However,

686
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: I have much more faith in Oregon's quarterback situation, and

687
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: I have much more faith in Kirby Smart and and

688
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: and the two most important things you can have in

689
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: college football as your head coach and your quarterback. I

690
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: believe that to be true. If you if you take

691
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: those two things out of the equation, I think Ohio

692
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: State is far and away number one, and so that

693
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: that that to me is it's a really bizarre situation

694
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 2: to be in. When I look at especially in Ohio

695
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 2: State's receiving room and their defense, the whole defense, I'm

696
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: in awe of what they've built out there, and I

697
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: but at the same time, what it's gonna come down

698
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: to Will Howard or Devin Brown and if Ryan Day

699
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: can motivate this team to not just eke buy in

700
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: some games where they should go in and blow an

701
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: opponent out, So that that would be the one where

702
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: I would say, I wonder if anybody in this country

703
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: is brave enough to put Ohio State at number one,

704
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: knowing the level of talent they have. I think it's

705
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: all an indictment on Ryan Day.

706
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Really, dang, that is a very very fair point, Ralph,

707
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: because their their talent level does probably dictate they should

708
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: be number one or could be number one. But like

709
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: the Georgia brand has built up so much, you know,

710
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: equity right now, and they only lost one game last year,

711
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: and that was the SEC championship game. And you know, do.

712
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: You trust Kirby Smart? Do you trust Kirby Smart? And

713
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 2: do you trust Carson? You know what he gave you

714
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 2: last year? Do you trust him?

715
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I trust him to be bet right that that's yes.

716
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: I trust that Georgia is the mountain right now that

717
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: they are that you put them in a big game,

718
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: they probably coming up aces and.

719
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 2: They start with a big game off the bat.

720
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they started in their level of physicality and

721
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: they're so deep because after they won the national championship

722
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: with one of the best defenses that we've ever seen,

723
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: they came right back and just kick people in the

724
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: teeth even worse. So it's one of those It took

725
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: me a long time to buy into the Alabama thing,

726
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, they're winning, but at some

727
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: point time it's got a stop. No, bro, it doesn't

728
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: have to. And it was funny, Ralph. Last night, I

729
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: was on my radio show and I was watching the

730
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. It popped up on YouTube on the TV

731
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: Oregon versus Oregon versus USC twenty twelve. Matt Barkley was

732
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback and I was like, I'm watching the game

733
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: Oregon blitz Marcus Mariod as a freshman. They're blitzing them

734
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: like ship. Kelly's offense could not be stopped at that

735
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: point in time. But I'm watching Oregon's defense. The defense

736
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: was ass and I could not do Marquis least seventy

737
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: five yard bomb nos and Aguilar a big play. The

738
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: tackling was shitty. It was I was watching that like,

739
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: good God, how do you win football games like this?

740
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: And I remember when Oregon played Auburn in the National

741
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: Championship in twenty ten season, couldn't block Nick Fairley? Could?

742
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: I mean, granted they were the second best team in

743
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: the country, they only lost by three points and couldn't

744
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: compete on the offensive and defensive line at the level

745
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: that you need to. And then same thing happened when

746
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: they played in the National Championship against Ohio State, except

747
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: for their defense was good that year. But when you

748
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: look at Oregon's defense now and what understanding what defense

749
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: is so posed to look like in college football and

750
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: not just say okay, yeah, these these yards. And I

751
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: do believe that when you were running up tempo offenses

752
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: and teams get more possessions, they're gonna rack up more

753
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: yards and all of those things, but they don't have

754
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: to rack up more points. And you say, oh, that

755
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: gave them points up against the backups. Probably seven years

756
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: ago I stopped with that. I was like, listen, it

757
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because the backups are going to have to

758
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: play when somebody gets hurt, and those are your future players.

759
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: So no, there are no excuses. And that's the difference

760
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: is that these top teams they look the part on

761
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: both sides. Now, Utah is not necessarily as talented as

762
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: some of these other teams, but they just play good football.

763
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: They're well coached, these are old players, they're gonna be good,

764
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: and they have a good quarterback situation. There's a couple

765
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: spots that stick out to me, Ralph. That's Penn State

766
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: at number nine, because their entire season hedges on Drew Allard.

767
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna put a competent defense out. Their offense was

768
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: it was it was like a step up from Iowa

769
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 1: last year in terms of watchability. It was gross.

770
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 2: I know, I know you men, you spent most of

771
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: the last year mad at that kid.

772
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't mad.

773
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: It was just I think part of the reason. Part

774
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: of the reason is he is enormous and he does

775
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: not play like he's a six five two and forty

776
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: pound athlete.

777
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, correct, he does not.

778
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: And that's bad.

779
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I didn't realize he was that big until

780
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: the end of when you mentioned it last season, I

781
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: was like, he's that big.

782
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,959
Speaker 2: No, he's out there kind of looking like Drew Pine

783
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: a little bit to where like, you know, obviously he's

784
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: he Obviously he's good enough to be out there, But

785
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,959
Speaker 2: is he good enough to justify Like Penn State had

786
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: something like forced eight top ten classes at one point.

787
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: They have to capitalize on that.

788
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, because you can only be if you build.

789
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: The third Everyone's gonna ask when you're gonna be second.

790
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna ask when you're finally gonna be first. It's

791
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: natural and and and state like, if that's if this

792
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 2: is the cap, if third place is the cap, then

793
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know how much James Franklin lasts,

794
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: especially when we watched last year James Franklin's agents making

795
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: sure that his name is thrown into coaching conversations and

796
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Are there cracks in the foundation of

797
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: this team? And I could I you and I disagree

798
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 2: on some stuff. I've never agreed with you more than

799
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: like Drew Allor it could be the difference between James

800
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: Franklin not working there next year and Penn State winning

801
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: a national championship.

802
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: Yep. Uh. There are a couple other teams that I

803
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: think are very interesting. Miami at twelve with Mario Cristobal

804
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: that he's under a line of pressure, he's got to

805
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: perform this year. He's got the quarterback.

806
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

807
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: The the excuses for Tyler van that Tyler Van Dyke

808
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: was overrated and all that that those things are out

809
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: of the window because you got a guy who has

810
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: put up major stats in college football and Camp Moore.

811
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how Clemson and Oklahoma are gonna

812
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: do because Kate Klubnick at Clemson is in a Drew

813
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: Aller type situation. And can I say something about Dabbo

814
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: real quick? I appreciate that I have appreciated Daboswingy that

815
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: much more and his comments about the transfer portal and

816
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 1: how Clemson is not participating in the transfer portal the

817
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: way other people are. That's the definition of standing on

818
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: business to me, because he's like he's putting the onus

819
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: on his coaches evaluate and we're not just gonna throw

820
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: money at the problem and fix the problem. No, you

821
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: go out and evaluate and recruit properly, and we're gonna

822
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: develop our guys. I do think he needs to dabble

823
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: into transfer a portal, but I do love the fact

824
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: that he stands there and is like, no, no, no, we

825
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna develop our guys and we're gonna win with the

826
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: people that we recruit, because coaches get lazy sometimes in

827
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: recruiting when they know that they can just hit the

828
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: portal sometimes.

829
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

830
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I know that you here's

831
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: the thing about Dabbo, and we're gonna talk about it

832
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 2: all year long. What is happening is inevitable, and this

833
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 2: stance he's taking against it is entertaining to watch. Right.

834
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: Yes, but you remember that in the opposite of Dion.

835
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah. I think they've taken one transfer ever, and

836
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: it was to be a player coach, like third string

837
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 2: quarterback player coach.

838
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

839
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: I think it's Paul Tyson that was out Alabama and

840
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: Arizona State. Other than that, they haven't taken anybody. And

841
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 2: it reminds me. You remember that story, the old folk

842
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: tale in elementary school, John Henry. Yep, Like the Industrial

843
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: Revolution brings in like this machine that could lay the

844
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 2: railroad tracks, and they know that's going to take away

845
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: a lot of jobs. So John Henry is the champion

846
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 2: of like the workers and the working man. He goes

847
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: out there and he takes on the machine and he

848
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 2: beats it, but in the process exhausts himself and he dies.

849
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 2: Right like Dabbo. What I'm worried about is Dabo could

850
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: take this team to the to the college football playoffs

851
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: this year. I have no doubt in my mind to that.

852
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: I think they're the class of the acc However, however,

853
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: I think he's going to crash out in the process

854
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: and he might take this program with him.

855
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: Damn. I respect it.

856
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: I respect it, but like this is inevitable. It is.

857
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there is one program, well there's two program ms,

858
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: and I'm actually excited about and to see how they

859
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: do too. That's Tennessee at seventeen because Nico e Amaalava,

860
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: if he plays really well, they're gonna be in a

861
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a chance to make the College Football Playoff.

862
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: LSU their defense, and I'm also Washington and Arizona. Washington

863
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: Arizona and USC. Those of those three teamsknown, one of

864
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: one of those.

865
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 2: Three teams is going to be a team that at

866
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: the end of the year we're like, why did we

867
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:31,959
Speaker 2: have them in here?

868
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: Yes?

869
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 2: One of those.

870
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna be staring at five losses right in

871
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: right in the face. One of those?

872
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: Which one, I'm We'll put you on the spot. We

873
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: have them ranked at their potential.

874
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: So so so Arizona is getting the credit for having

875
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback and a first round why wide receiver, That's

876
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: what they're getting a lot of credit for. We're in

877
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: a good tight end and been at and yeah, obviously

878
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: they have no ed quarterback. McMillan at wide receiver is

879
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a first rounder, but they lost a lot.

880
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: So is a monster. Yes, I they might be a

881
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: top twelve team to me if he didn't go to Washington.

882
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 1: Yep. And then you got Washington obviously, who really good

883
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: coaching staff. They're in a much better position than they

884
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: were when they got to Arizona, but competitions a little

885
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: bit tougher than initially, even though the Pac twelve ended

886
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: up crazy tough last year. And then there's USC because

887
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley has hired so many great the defensive hires,

888
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: but the question is does he have the talent to

889
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: execute it? Because the defense is going to be better

890
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: just because they're gonna be competent. Yeah, but it's due

891
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: they have the horses to get it done. And how

892
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: good is Miller Moss really because or Jayden my Via

893
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: whoever ends up starting, it'll probably be Miller, But who

894
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: is going to be Like is this offense going to

895
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: be special like it was under Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield,

896
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts. Is it going to be

897
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: that type of special? Because if it's not in your

898
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: defense is mad? You could be staring at five losses

899
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: even though their schedule is not, you know, the toughest

900
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: thing in the Big Ten this year.

901
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're USC's offense obviously can get cute, right, but

902
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: it's like a it's like a platypus, right, It's like

903
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: it's cute, but I think it's poisonous. I think it's deadly.

904
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: You don't want to handle it if you can avoid it, right, Like,

905
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 2: there are teams in the Big Ten that are not

906
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 2: going to respect well.

907
00:53:55,239 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of platypuses, how Big do you think a platypus.

908
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 2: Is Aren't they like like a chihuahua? Do you think? Yes?

909
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: They are extremely small. Yeah, they're like smaller than into chihuahua. Bro,

910
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: They're they're like toy dog.

911
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 4: What'd you think they were? Like sea lions out there?

912
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 4: And I get I thought they were humongous. Saw them

913
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 4: at the San Diego Zoo, what at the wild Animal

914
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 4: Park because they have two from Australia. It was the

915
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 4: crazy dude, They're like, I was extremely surprised.

916
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: But that's a whole other Yeah, but I just like small,

917
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: cuddly but dangerous, right, Like that's I look at this

918
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: USC offense and I don't think they're gonna get a

919
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: lot of respect going into the into the Big Ten

920
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 2: because so many of these teams pride themselves on their defense,

921
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 2: especially Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, right Wisconsin being up

922
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 2: there too. Yeah, but but I don't I don't think

923
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: you could take them lightly that. I mean, they've they

924
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: they've made all our teams look stupid over the like,

925
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: you know, we know what USC, we know what Lincoln

926
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 2: Riley can do. And if I had told you before

927
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: the season that, hey, there's a team out there that

928
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: added both de'anton lynn and Matt Enttz to their defensive staff. Oh,

929
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 2: you'd have been like, oh, that team's gonna win when

930
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 2: I told you, But that team was USC You're like, oh,

931
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: I wonder if Lincoln Riley's gonna ruin this.

932
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: Like that's such a wild because because even though you

933
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: hired these defensive guys, you have to change your entire

934
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: mentality and philosophy on how you practice. Like for instance,

935
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: last year when us He played Oregon, Oregon went live

936
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: during practice that week live. The only people that were

937
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: not eligible to be hit were Bucky Irving because they

938
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: kept him out of the drill because he was kind

939
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 1: of hurt at that point in time, and they kept

940
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: then you obviously you can never touch the quarterback. Whereas

941
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: circle that with Dion Sanders and he's telling like everybody's

942
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're hitting, do not touch the quarterback. Well,

943
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 1: of course, don't touch the quarterback that like you bet

944
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: not that that goes on everywhere, but do not He

945
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 1: also so do not touch the wide receivers, Like what,

946
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: don't touch the wide outs? Come on, man? And so

947
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: uh and don't touch Travis all right, bro?

948
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: Like what like yeah, I don't. I don't know. I

949
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 2: it's easy to imagine USC going seven and five because

950
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: they did it last year. It's easy for me to

951
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 2: see Arizona take a step back. They Yeah, Arizona could

952
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: regress to the mean. I think Brent Brennan's a great coach,

953
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: but that's a whole new coaching staff. And Raymond Pallito

954
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 2: is their best offensive lineman. He's not even gonna play

955
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 2: this year. So one of these teams is gonna fall

956
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: off really, really, really hard, I think. And there are

957
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: teams in the teams they are every year. There are

958
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 2: teams we have in the in the teams that don't

959
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 2: even finish with a winning record. But that grouping of three,

960
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: that's the one I'm looking at right now to say like, oh,

961
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: this this is the team that could fall off the hardest.

962
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 2: And I worry that it could be Arizona. But but

963
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 2: you know, their their quarterback receiver tandem. If those two

964
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 2: are healthy and t Mac hasn't been healthy, he's getting there.

965
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could stop it, because they've

966
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 2: been playing together forever. You watch them out there at

967
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 2: the high school level. Now they're doing it at the

968
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 2: college level. I'm imagining a day someday soon where you

969
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 2: have Fafita and TMAC at the NFL level doing the

970
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: same thing because those deep ends and the high point stuff,

971
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 2: I just don't know if it could be stopped. So

972
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: I could see Arizona scoring a lot of points, but

973
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 2: maybe Washington. Maybe it's Washington. It's gonna fall off because

974
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 2: what do they have, like two starters from last year's team. One? Ooh,

975
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 2: that's not good.

976
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: That's it all right. Next thing up, speaking of injuries,

977
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: the SEC is flirting with a putting out an injury report,

978
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: and this flies in the face of what college football

979
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: coaches have done forever forever.

980
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: Why lie? Yes, yes, well that's how I thought. Jim

981
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: Harbaugh said, don't lie. You know he lies about it.

982
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: They all lie about injuries.

983
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because it's a competitive advand but the NFL doesn't.

984
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: And this honestly has nothing to do with football. This

985
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: has everything to do with money. This has to do

986
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: with gambling setting lines because those people want the numbers

987
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: to be able to be able to handicap things better

988
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: and not have bookies or whoever would inside information connected

989
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: the programs that they don't have, and they want it

990
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: earlier because they do get information because they're bookies. But

991
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but.

992
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think it will be a welcome change? Oh?

993
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: I think it'll be welcome for fans and for coaches.

994
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna cry and complain about it and everything else.

995
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: So they are going to bitch and moan about it

996
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: until the cows come home. But the coaches who just

997
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: embrace it and just say, Okay, these are the new rules,

998
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be better off. It's like complaining about the

999
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: transfer portal, complaining about this. No, just adapt, just adapt

1000
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: and guess what. Transparency won't kill you.

1001
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 2: So what if it was just limited to like did

1002
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: they practice today or did they not practice today? I

1003
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 2: mean a lot of that comes out in reports anyway.

1004
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 2: But one of the things I've noticed, especially in the

1005
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: Pact twelve when it was around, is reporters who are

1006
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: supposed to just tell you what is happening are threatened

1007
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 2: with their access to the program. If they say X

1008
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 2: didn't practice today on their own message board, they can't

1009
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: even tell their own subscribers.

1010
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: Oh I do think that they're Oh okay. So if

1011
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: you limit it to did a player practice like is

1012
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: he or or is he just an injury designation as

1013
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: in doubtful questionable.

1014
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well.

1015
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: They they eliminated the probable in the NFL, so it's

1016
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: either out, questionable or or full participant. So yeah, those

1017
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: are reasonable expectations because remember we're all slaves to the bread.

1018
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, I wonder if they do like

1019
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: an injury report for grades. That's what I want.

1020
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: Hey, hey what what whatever? A yo, he's he's out

1021
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: because he had to study. Yeah, all right. Speaking of

1022
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: money though, Pitt Bull Stadium, Ralph Pitt Bull Stadium. When

1023
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: they say the man's got his own money, the man

1024
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: has got his own money. Look you put Bull right

1025
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: there over there with the with FIU's coach. He has

1026
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: missed worldwide and he's like, I want everybody to know

1027
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: that Pitt Bull Stadium. I mean, and FIU is not

1028
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: even big enough that that's going to be broadcast a ton.

1029
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's not It's not like turning Kneeland Stadium

1030
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: in Tennessee into Pitt Bull Stadium or turning you know,

1031
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: the the Crypto which was the Staple Center into into

1032
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Pitt Bull Stadium. But these people now have so much

1033
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: money in terms of entertainers and people in business individual

1034
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: wealth that you know, I'm not sure what the advantage

1035
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: is for him, but yeah, it's a big deal, you guys.

1036
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: So we were thinking about some people that we want

1037
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: to name have naming rights to things, and one of them,

1038
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I think that there there has to be a Taylor

1039
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Swift Stadium, like where she just like and might be

1040
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Arrowhead changed the name the Arrowhead to Taylor Swift Stadium.

1041
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: She would definitely have the bread to get whatever naming

1042
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 2: rights she wanted. For sure. Your boy Luke Combs, you

1043
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: know he went to app State m.

1044
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: I want to see how people act if like if

1045
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: like Trump got the naming rights to a stadium, or

1046
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Leron got the naming rights to a stadium, or Elon Musk.

1047
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: I want to see or Joe Biden got people who

1048
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: never stept footing that damn stadium who would be.

1049
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Most open to naming their football stadium after Trump? And

1050
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: you can't say liberty, damn it.

1051
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: That was the first thing that was coming out of

1052
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: my mouth. Uh, Baylor, or it's it's some some school

1056
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: the South. I don't think he's gonna be able to

1057
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: do it at sam in New York.

1058

Speaker 2: and I remember him from his years at Colorado, and

1064
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,280

1065
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: head coach's favorite songs and you know it would get

1066
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: to Mike McIntyre and it would always be Stephen Curtis

1067
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,720
