WEBVTT - The 7-on-7 Draft 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.880 Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me. I'm 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.680 a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well, 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640 I want to be happy. You want to be happy 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.040 for a day? Edith State is that? Woo whoo? And 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.640 them and Tye welcome back to the solid Verbo boys 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.479 and girls. My name is ty hilden Brandt, joining me 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:29.520 as always over there in beautiful Chicago, Illinois. Danrew veristeinz, sir, 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.640 how are you? I'm not bad. Yesterday was about eighty degrees. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.400 It's been like forty five. Real fun, real fun, way 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.680 to get used to whatever this time of year is. 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.960 But I'm not here to talk about weather, Tye. I'm 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:41.720 here to talk about the biggest story of the week 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.720 in college football. If that's okay with you, please please 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.839 do now. You might think, because it's a college football podcast, 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.919 I'd say, man, it looks like Haines King coming on 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.279 strong for A and M and the battle to take 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.040 over Kellen Mond or wooh a, Casey Thompson guy, My 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.960 Hudson card guy at Texas what did we see in 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.800 that spring affair? Or you know, look, you know Tennessee 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.720 the first spring with Josh Hipel They're going downfield more, 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.960 or you know, a new receiver breaking out at Oklahoma 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.880 or wherever. I saw twenty four to seven had like 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.319 a spring recap of storylines from spring games this weekend, 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.039 or I saw Nikocy Perry is going to fau to 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.800 join Willie Taggart there, so that seems like a good 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.760 move for him and Willy Taggart, who's had some good 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:24.400 offenses but no tie. I read to you. I read 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.720 to you, and follow along all social medias and all 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.679 that stuff. Checkout for ballers dot com, for Patreon. With 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.280 apologies to the maclroy triplets. I read to you a 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.480 press release like what they do with fast food restaurants. Dateline, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.840 San Diego, April twenty eighth, twenty twenty one, nine o'clock 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.280 am Eastern daylight time. Is this Do we need to 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.640 do a Stone Phillips voice if you can do your best? Yeah, 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.840 I don't have that continue. It's a match made and 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.960 manscaped heaven. Former Sponsormanscape, leading men's grooming brand in the 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.320 University of South Carol Line of game Cocks have come 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:06.080 together for an unprecedented and undoubtedly harmonious partnership. Known for 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.960 its extensive roster of acclaimed global sports sponsorships manscaped and 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:17.519 it's confident but never cocky until no sports marketing department 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.200 is proud to announce its first partnership with a college 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.720 athletic program, not to mention one that's earned eleven national 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.600 team in individual titles since twenty ten in the NCAA 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:31.200 Division One Southeastern Conference and with the most loyal fan 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:36.960 base around. It goes on and on. It's unclear what 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:43.640 the sponsorship entails, but Manscaped now sponsoring the game cos 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.639 I'm sure that was at all intentional. No, And obviously 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.519 you can make your Oregon State jokes. There's all sorts 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.800 of different places you can go with a Manscaped college 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:59.920 football or college sports sponsorship. But really didn't see this happening. No, 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.200 But maybe maybe and I don't know South Carolina's finances, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.400 but maybe this is an element of a lot of 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.960 schools losing a lot of money in twenty twenty, with 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.919 revenues down across the board, we're going to see some 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.280 more creative sponsorship. This would have been so much more 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.240 fun if Will Mush shamp We're still there, wouldn't it? 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.360 Man Will Mush Champion Landscape reads that would have been 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.320 a sight to behold. I don't think do you think 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.600 that Shane Biemer is going to be talking about regions 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.000 in press conferences? Who's that year? It's not my artist reaction. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.440 But again, we don't know the full scope of the sponsorship, 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.240 that's true. We don't know what these guys are going 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.400 to ask to be doing out there. Yeah, I'm I'm 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.440 Jim Harbaugh, and I'm here to talk to you about 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:57.280 Blue Chew Go Blue. I am so happy about this 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.480 and you, of course you gave me all sorts of notes, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.000 you know, for our own manscape read way back when 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.280 and all your detailed thoughts. You can go down the archives, 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.040 you can comb and listen. But man, good for good 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.360 for South Carolina getting the game Cocks. Yeah, the game, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:17.760 I guess trimming away at budget shortfalls. No, it's not bad. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.400 I've heard better. Thank you. I'll take it. Well, Look, 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.760 transition away from that not the way I expected to 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.920 start the show, As Dan Saidverpoulers dot com is the 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.880 Patreon where you can find all the bonus stuff that 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.520 we've been working on. I'm scanning a list of current 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.760 college football head coaches who I'd most like to see 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.839 do Manska Do we just want to pivot and do this? Okay, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.279 So do you think a more her suit coach would 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.400 be best or do you think like a cleaner head 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.520 coach would be best? To say, it work for me, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.760 it can work for you, Like do you think it's 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.680 a Dave Randa like I know a little something about 0:04:54.760 --> 0:05:00.480 taking care of hair? What about Kirk Farns? What about that? 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.960 The most dry? I mean he would stammer or sort 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.960 of dance around it. He would clearly be uncomfortable doing 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.679 the read. You understand that more and more in twenty 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.760 twenty one and beyond when coaches either retire, not necessarily retire, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.479 but when they lose work and they're looking to get 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.719 into media stuff, they're going to be doing podcasts. Sure, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.200 And the more desperate of these now former coaches, I 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.600 think Less Miles had a podcast for a year or 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.360 two or something like that. I'm sure you did. The 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.280 more desperate and the less you know, shamey coaches are 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.599 going to be open to this, to doing ad reads 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.600 for companies that want to be sponsors. And so like 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.479 Ryan Day, I think you ever see Ryan days brows. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.400 He's got a lot of coverage He's got a lot 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.640 of coverage, so I think he might be an interesting 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.360 person to sort of talk about maintaining your manscape lifestyle. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.400 This is a very very deep question. I think Sam 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.160 Pittman would be fantastic. Sam Pittman would be really good. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.919 I come back to mush Champ. Mushchamp would be able 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.400 if you could get him on board to do the 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.279 read not an active head coach, But what about what 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:16.359 about Kirby Smart. He's not, unlike little mush Champ, somebody 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.240 who seemingly takes himself very seriously and is always very 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.120 together and sort of mean and doesn't have much of 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.240 a sense of humor outwardly. Yeah, he's just he's too 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.160 much of a football guy. He doesn't have time to 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.039 even be silly. I want at least a chromosome of 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.680 silliness to Gary Patterson. Garry Patterson will be interesting. You 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.039 know that grooming and hygiene are part of his coaching 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.040 if you remember switching shirts at halftime during the Alamo 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.200 Bowl way back when. I think Dan Mullen would be interesting. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.440 Lane would obviously be fantastic coach. Oh would be great. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.560 Leech would do a pretty good job. I would assume 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.520 Leach would have some existential question about the manscape process. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.520 That yep, that would just complicate it. So now I'm 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.640 out on him. I would listen to a Herm man 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:10.240 Escaped read. I would listen to Brady Hawk do a 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.520 man escape read. It's my terrible impression. Let's be honest. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.400 You'd listen to any coach to do a man escape read. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.440 And that's not true. Any one of these guys be 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.360 fine with no, because I just there's nothing silly about 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:28.520 Scott Frost. It's just not this Smith would be silly. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.640 This would be funny. Yeah, it would just be them 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:36.880 unintentionally or intentionally fumbling their way through getting to all 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.160 of the bullet points for this ad read not a sponsor. 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.960 I thought you were going to talk about Bill Hancock, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:49.000 Danny Diaz. Manny Diaz has a lot of Yeah, I'm 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.000 not even I'm not talking. I'm not even being silly here. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.240 He's just his It's clear that his beard and his 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.920 the hair atop his head grows quickly. Sliverail dot com 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.000 is the email snow which coach you'd like to see 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.760 in this situation. I thought you were going to talk 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.440 about Bill Hancock and the press release that maybe now 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.000 forget about ending. No, no, we can talk about that too. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.320 But Dabo saying, hot dog, I know what we were 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.000 talking about. That'd be wonderful stream cheese ball. You want 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.520 to talk about the playoff expansion. I saw our friend 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.800 Stu Mendel and Handy Staples were writing about it that 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.440 there's some sort of there was a convening of the 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.680 mind There was a convening of the minds. And I 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.400 can speak to this seeing as how I was on 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.600 a national panel for penlive dot com conducted by our 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.839 good friend Dave Jones. Oh, thank you, thank you. Kind 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.720 of a big deal now, m Yeah, they examined. They 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.640 were very casual in mentioning that they examined sixty three 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:50.280 proposals of possible changes, and that entailed a number of things, 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.840 keeping it at four, moving to six, eight, ten, twelve, sixteen. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.520 Who knows how high up they went with this, but 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.720 a number of different proposals. I think, just by mere 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.680 fact that they acknowledge there are other options out there, 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.240 the Playoff as we know it is dead. It is good. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.160 The four team Playoff is going to die the second 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.640 they can possibly pull the plug on it because as 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:17.000 I think Andy Staples pointed out, he's fluent in Bill Hancock. Sure, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.920 when Bill Hancock acknowledges something, that's the cue that the 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.520 current system is going to die. Oh well, Bill Hancock's 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.080 just a win socks win. He's a he's a nice guy, 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.319 he's a pr guy. I think it's dead. I think 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.000 it's dead. I don't know what it goes to. My 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.839 comment to Dave was that I'd like to see eight teams. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.640 If they're going to expand, let's go to eight, all 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.600 Power five schools, all Power five champions. Excuse me, those 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.120 schools get an automatic bid in. Let's give one out 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.040 to the group of five, that the best of the 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.520 group of five, and then two wild cards to do 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.080 whatever the playoff committee sees fit with. That would be 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.240 my ideal system. If they're going to expand. I know 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.520 you hate the playoff. I know you hate the idea 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.800 of expansion. If they are going to expand with inevitably, Dan, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.400 they are going to do yeah, do you have a 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:08.160 preferred method of expansion? Uh? Yeah, I would. I tweeted 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.080 this out earlier that I would just be fine with 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.240 them keeping it at four then expanding it to a 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.120 whole different tournament, a whole side tournament that's much more 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.559 of a spectacle, and there's money involved for the players, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.920 and there's gambling because people can actually make brackets. I mean, 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.319 it's more difficult when you can't play two games in 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.640 a weekend, so things aren't condensed like they are with basketball. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.679 But that would be my Like, I just there's there 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.760 comes a point where college football was a bowl sport, right, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.439 there was just this is what our postseason is. We 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.280 are very different from every other major sport. We do bowls. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.440 And then everybody decided, well, this isn't fair because we 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.600 need to find a capital en Capital C national champion, 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.640 which always, you know, sort of seemed beside the point 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.760 to me. But a lot of people wanted that, and 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.320 that's fine, and I you know, I can't argue with 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.680 what people want, but you either have to you have 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.319 to define your postseason and by college football saying well 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.160 we're gonna have a fourteen playoff, Oh maybe we'll go eight, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.160 maybe we'll go twelve, and maybe it'll be defined by 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.240 conference chams and like then we're going to do other 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.760 bowl games. Like why, like one element of your postseason 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.520 has stakes, but another doesn't, and one of them is 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.040 in tournament form. The rest is just like, well, this 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.720 this bowl game is choosing who they want from either 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.960 this conference or my understanding this correctly. Now you're going 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.280 from not wanting any kind of a tournament and just 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.760 sticking with the old bowl system to now multiple tournaments. Well, 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.520 you ask me how I would expand the playoff? Okay, 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.640 you don't want to expand the championship part of the playoff. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.560 You want to explain the other side of it. If 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.840 we are deciding that college football is to be a 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.400 tournament sport. Yeah, if that's that's the exercise right here? 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.599 How about this again? Again you ignore the question, But 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.000 that's fine. I know that's where we ask the question. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.920 I'm saying, if they're expanding the championship portion of this 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.800 playoff from four up to more, what does that look 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.600 like for you? If under your head you have to choose, 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:10.840 how are you choosing? I guess six? Six, perfectly reasonable. Yeah, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:16.080 give bye weeks to at least get whatever version of 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.760 Alabama or Ohio State or Clemson or whatever like superpower 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.719 of that year, or even LSU and LSU was that team, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.079 to at least maximize give us at least one weekend 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.520 of maybe competitive games, because right now the best of 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.600 the best are so far ahead of you know, number 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.760 three or number four and beyond with time off to 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.040 game plan where I mean, it doesn't like we looked 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.600 at Notre Dame as a success because they only lost 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.679 by what's seventeen or twenty whatever it was to Alabama, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.319 like that was a success in the context of the playoff, 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.120 that they were able to hold Alabama down like that. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.920 So the six teams, at least you can convince me 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.640 that maybe a team that's at number five or number 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.959 six lost a game because they were down a quarterback 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.600 or you know, three guys on their offensive line because 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.920 of just random circumstance. But when you when you go 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.720 below that, then you're just saying we don't want to 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.680 find a national champion as much as we just want 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.480 to be inclusive. We want to reward teams for happening 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.880 to win the Pac twelve, even the Oregon finished like 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.080 number nineteen nationally, Like, we just want to be inclusive 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.640 because we think fans are are into inclusive football, and 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.280 so Dad doesn't do it for me. Yeah, and that's fair, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:33.040 that's fair. Dan Wetzel's point. Our friend from Yahoo. He says, 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.800 just scrap the conference championships, that it's sort of a 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.000 flawed system anyway, that you've got the visions that are 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.080 that are not symmetrical, and let's just use that week 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.040 for the first round of a playoff. Let's pick the 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.160 teams from that pool without even naming a conference championship. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.960 The conferences won't go for that because they want the 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.000 they want the pay day, right, but otherwise, let's just, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.280 you know, let's let's roll with that week being week 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.120 one of the playoff, which I kind of like. So 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.040 this is what Bomani Jones of ESPN said, which I 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.520 think he put better than I can. He said. Bottom 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.480 line is college football on the whole didn't get better 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.920 because of the playoff, because whatever we call a championship 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.520 will always be a big game. The playoff actually cut 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.800 into one of college football's greatest charms, the incredibly narrow 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.240 margin for air. Truth is college football is best consumed 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.120 as a regional game. Worrying too much about nationalizing it 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.760 misses the point of the whole thing. You'll get a quote, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:32.080 true champion, end quote like that matters for anything better. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.960 Question of all the times to worry about what anyone 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.120 quote deserves from college football. You pick a postseason tournament 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.880 that is where you want to talk about what anyone deserves, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:47.160 and you want the kids to play the games for free. Yeah, okay, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600 well I still won an eighteen playoff. I don't care 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.360 what the money has to say. Which teams? I mean, like, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:58.680 what is the preferred like five conference champions five conference champions, Fine, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.240 give me one group of five and we'll do two 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.560 wild cards. My big thing is, so you're not wedded. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.120 You're not wedded to having the best eight teams, just 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.520 the eight teams that can. You got to pick one. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.000 You got to pick what you want to be and 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.720 right now they have it, they haven't picked it because 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.760 I think there's an assumption that if you win your conference, 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.320 you're going to get in. You win your Power five conference, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.400 you're probably in a good spot to get in, unless 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.680 maybe you're the PAC twelve. I don't know, but there's 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.320 five conferences. Somebody's gonna be left be left out. You 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.520 need to pick what you want to reward. Either you 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.360 want to reward conference championships or you don't. And so 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.640 seeing as how every conference has set up the system 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.440 in which they're they're crowning a championship. I think they 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.840 should at least be uniform in that sense, What are 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.240 you playing for a conference championship and the right to 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.760 go and play for a national championship? That seems fair 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.400 to me. That that part seems fair to me. I 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.720 think it's important that we include the group of five. 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.080 And I understand full well that they're probably not going 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.800 to win the national championship. But my point all along 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.880 has been if they're gonna be at the FBS level, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.800 if we're again going to continue under this guys that 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.440 being in bowl subdivision qualifies you for a chance to 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.320 win the national championship every year? What about UCF? What 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.680 about Cincinnati? What about he Like they never have had 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.800 a chance. It's all a big ruse. So if we're 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.000 going to have them in the same division, at least 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.480 let them compete for that national championship. Give them a 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.440 spot in the playoff, Let them play Alabama round one. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.200 One of these days someone will knock off Alabama, maybe, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:37.800 but let's at least formalize their portion of being in 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.960 the FBS by giving them a shot in that playoff. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.640 And then two wildcards, because there's always teams that are 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.440 on the outside looking in. If you've got a system 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.640 wedded to conference championships, pick two other teams. Let's go 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.120 to eight first round held on campus. I think we 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.920 are we are in full and total agreement that college 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:01.040 football is best played on campus. So add that first 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.000 round matchup where it takes place on the campus of 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.639 the higher seeded school. After that, you can keep the 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.400 current system. Just add that extra layer in the very 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.919 beginning where you've got some home games to reward teams 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.240 that make it through as a top four seed, and 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.280 then just you know, we can keep doing what we're 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.679 doing otherwise. That's that's my proposal. It's not that different 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.960 from what we have now. It just adds that extra 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.879 layer and you know, sure, a potential home game for 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:32.680 Wisconsin in mid December. Okay, fine, don't care. I think 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.960 that's the system that that would make the most sense 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.679 to me. It just seems like we're bending over for 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.879 a region that cares about football the least in the 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.080 West Coast. Got to get that West Coast team got 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.440 to get the millions upon millions of Stanford fans engaged 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.320 with the college football playoff Okay, you gotta you gotta 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:51.720 decide what you want to be. Are you going to 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.000 reward conference championships? Are you going to reward the fan bases? 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:56.960 What do you want to what do you want it 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.160 to be. I'd prefer to reward the teams that win 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.880 their conference championsh Let them play on, let them see 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.800 what they can be. Okay, and if we have a 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.280 nine and three team, that makes it over five eleven 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.280 and one teams, so be it, so be it, so 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:16.000 be it. That's that's Ties America. It's Ties America. Okay. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.560 Shall we get to our game? Du jor good? I 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.720 don't know if I fully understand it, but I'm fully 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.680 committed to the bit. So yes, here is the bit, Dan, 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.959 we make us a draft picks today. It's a seven. 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:37.040 It's a seven on seven game involving receivers and a 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.480 quarterback and a center to snap that seven on seven. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.879 Take take knee here, Dan, Okay, let me explain this. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.359 You've heard of this thing that we have. Actually, I 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.240 guess tonight a lot of folks are going to be 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.760 listening to this early on Thursday. If you're listing on 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.679 Friday or Saturday or sometime next week. Sorry, we've got 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:01.320 an NFL draft going on this week, and we're going 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.080 to use that as our player universe to pick from. 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.440 What we're going to do is we're going to pick 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.160 a seven man team. Here is the catch. This seven 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.239 man team has to play both ways. We're taking these 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.399 guys on the road. Man, they're like the Globetrotters. Is 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.960 a seven man team. All the guys we pick have 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.760 to play both ways. Okay, So right off the bat, 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.199 probably not going to build the plane out of Mac Jones. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.800 Not a whole lot of defensive positions that Mac Jones 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.160 is going to be suitable for. Okay, Okay. On offense, 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.960 we've got a quarterback, We've got somebody who snaps the ball, 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.560 could end up being a tight end whoever. And then 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.280 we've got five other guys, five other skill guys. Got 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.800 running backs, you could do wide receivers, you can do 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.200 tight ends. There's no running plays. It's just snap the ball. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.640 Everyone runs out for a pass. Okay, So is that 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.280 the seven is one quarterback and six skill guys exactly exactly? Okay? 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.440 On defense, is the center who snaps the ball does 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:11.520 he have to say in to block? Maybe for for Mississippi, Okay, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.359 all right, And on defense, you just you gotta have 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.520 guys who can cover everyone going out for a pass. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.320 You gotta have versatile guys that could be you know, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.440 just about anybody. So it's it's a combination of defensive 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:28.720 backs and receive a running backs then basically yes, with 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.680 a quarterback presumably having to play one of those positions 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.479 on defense exactly. So there's no running plays. It's all 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.240 passing plays. And the seven guys we pick are playing 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.720 both ways. Okay, So I think our task here is 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.680 to look up and down these draft lists and let's 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.840 put together our ideal seven man team. If we're taking 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.159 these guys out on the road, they're all gonna be 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.200 very good. Obviously they're draft picks. But if we're taking 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.520 these guys out on the road and we're looking to 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:59.960 maximize versatility, being able to play both ways effectively, who 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.960 who are we taking? Gotcha? Who are we taking? So 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:05.720 let me let me start this off to kind of 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:11.880 get us in the frame of mind. Please Kyle Pits Okay, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:18.640 part of Kyle Pits allure in the NFL, certainly at Florida. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:23.359 He is a tight end who could have played defensive line. 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.600 He's one of those guys. Not a position we need. 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.439 It's not a position we need, but in terms of 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.639 somebody who can, first off, take up a lot of 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.920 space out there on the field, somebody who is impossible 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.760 to cover. But because you can do a little bit 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:43.119 of everything, the versatility with a guy like Kyle Pitts 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:45.520 is something that would be very interesting on a team 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.239 that's going to play both ways. So is that your 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.399 number one overall pick? Thrown him out there? I'm throwing 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.200 him out there as a possibility. Another question to consider, 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.280 Another question to consider. Let's talk about quarterback. Yeah, who's 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.480 the best quarterback this year? Trevor Lawrence I think is 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:08.720 going to go number one. Can Trevor Lawrence play pass coverage? 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.080 Not to me, but it's your pick if you're picking first. 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.040 I want to pick together, Dan, I want this to 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.359 be a collaborative l oh. So we're not picking against 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.000 each other. No, we are picking as an seven man team. 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.840 We're cogms. I wrote this to you before we did this. 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.720 I misinterpreted it. Okay, it says seven man team positions needed, 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:32.399
