1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal call for me.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say,

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 2: well I want to be happy. You want to be

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: happy for a day? Edith state? Is that?

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 3: Whoo?

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Whoom and Dan and tie? All right, Dan, we call

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: these home and homes in our universe. We're not referring

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: to a college football matchup. We're referring to a visit

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: from a fellow college football podcaster. In some cases on

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: this show we have had non college football podcasters. But

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: on today's episode, and I guess you know the version

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: of it all that we prefer is somebody who knows

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: college football. We have a first time guest stopping by

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: here in the soliverbal Do we not we? Do?

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: You see the title of the episode. We're having Josh

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: Payt on from the Josh Payton College Football Show. You've

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: seen them various platforms and outlets, and he obviously has

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: done a tremendous job building out his show, and so

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: pump to have him on and talk. Are we doing takes?

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 4: Ty?

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: Is that the flow of this episode?

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: We are doing takes. We are bringing take a toa

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah out of its dormant state. Take a toa has

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: been in my backdrop for about a year and a half,

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: just chilling out, not erupting, not making a peep, just

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: hanging out in the backdrop waiting for an episode like this.

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: The very first one we did was with our fran

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Andy Staples from on three. We also threw in some

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: takes from the Overballer hood as well as ones that

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: we had, and the idea is it's a volcano, take

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: a toa. We're throwing all of our hot takes into

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: the volcano. Correct, very simple, not much more to it

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: than that. We thought with Josh coming on, this would

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: be a great time to bring it out of retirement.

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: You'll see it here behind me. In a moment, I'm

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: going to try to get it up and running. I

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: have a fan in here now, so hopefully I don't

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: inhale whatever vapors come out of it. I'm excited for

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: this episode. You've got takes, I've got takes. We told

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,720

00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,280

81
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: are new to the show. But congratulations to you. I

00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,720

Speaker 3: I am. I appreciate it.

84
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: And by the way, we're doing the home and home

86
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: not in Germany, but we are actually doing it on

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: each other's home fields. I just I don't want to

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: sidetrack us, but given recent events, I did want to

89
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: point that out.

90
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

91
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: No, I were thinking Mexico City, we were thinking maybe Stad,

92
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: maybe Osaka, but I feel like this is probably the

93
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: most even handed way to do it.

94
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll grow the game either way.

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: That's true.

96
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: So I guess just as a means of introduction for

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: anybody on our side that doesn't know who Josh Pate is,

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: can you give me? Yeah, you should, but can you

99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: give me like the fifteen second twenty second elevator pitch

100
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: so you can introduce yourself to the verballer hood.

101
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, here we go. I took ten years to graduate college.

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: We're construction and heating in ac a lot. I decided

103
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: I didn't like that and wanted to talk about college

104
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: football year round and found a way to make people

105
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: listen to me do it somehow, someway that's my bio.

106
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: Wow.

107
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so what were you best at on the construction

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: site though?

109
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: So I prefer the fabric warehouse model. Okay, I just construction.

110
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: I just sheet rocking. And by the way, woo hawkers

111
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: exist on their own planet. The three of us pale

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 3: in like comparative conversation to what you would hear on

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: the sheet rocking side. It'd be seventy percent bleeped. But

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: it's just fascinating. So but you know, you go unload

115
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: the Southeastern Freight truck in the morning, not a sponsor

116
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: but could be, and then you just haul those those

117
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: rolls of fabric around and then over the span of time,

118
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: you realize that your spine is miss aligned because you've

119
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: been hauling the rolls of fabric on the same shoulder,

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: and so you walk around like this and it's no

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: way to live.

122
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: But that's what I mean of pat.

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you mentioned heating and cooling. Josh, is there

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: anything you could do to fix your current situation given

125
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: your skill set?

126
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

127
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: If you're listening on pod, Thank you so much. I

128
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: would actually prefer people not be watching right now. It

129
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: is Nashville, Tennessee. It is going to be ninety seven today.

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: AC has decided to go out and as I told you, guys,

131
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about this so much. But

132
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: someone in the follically disadvantaged position that I am has

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: a what we call a shine a glisten issue, and

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 3: it's it's really rearing its very ugly head this morning.

135
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: But he doesn't look as bad as it feels. If

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: you're watching this on YouTube, it looks fine.

137
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: Camp's open this week. Guys are sweating in one hundred

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: and ten degrees all over the South. And my complaint

139
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: is it's it's pushing seventy seven degrees in this apartment

140
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: right now, that's funny.

141
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. Man.

142
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 2: All right, so we're gonna we're gonna sweat the takes

143
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: out of you.

144
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: I like, well this I was gonna say, this is

145
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: actually Josh Camp prepared for the assignment. Yes, because here's

146
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do today. For those watching on YouTube,

147
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: you might be wondering, is that a model volcano behind Ty?

148
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Good question? The answer is yes. This here is take

149
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: a toe up. He is a prominent, albeit infrequent guest

150
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: on this show. I chose to build him in my

151
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: dining room last year, Josh, which like new marriage tip,

152
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: don't try that.

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: No.

154
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I put it all on the line to build this thing.

155
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: It does work. Like many of the great volcanoes, it

156
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: has been lying dormant for the better part of the

157
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: last year, if not a little.

158
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: Dormant, is not extinct, as Pierce Brosnan taught us.

159
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely correct. So he's just sort of been lurking in

160
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: the background here since it erupted for a few episodes

161
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: last season. The premise is very simple. We feed take

162
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: a toa where's this at.

163
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: Feeds?

164
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: We feed take a toa with our molten hot college

165
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: football takes. As I said, it is functional. I do

166
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: have this controller here. Hopefully the compound coming out of

167
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: it won't kill me. I have a fan this time, Dan,

168
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: I came a little bit more prepared.

169
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: It's it's very admirable, Tie, And now I immediately regret

170
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: not calling the entire volcano operation Dan, Tie's inferno. But

171
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: you know what that's it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Okay,

172
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 2: I appreciate the remote though. Okay, Ty take it away.

173
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Here is what we told Josh to come armed with

174
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: a handful of hot takes for the upcoming college football season.

175
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I've got some, You've got some. I reached out to

176
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: our Patreon for ballerhood at for ballers dot com to

177
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: get some of theirs as well. There is one on

178
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: here that I don't want to tip off too much.

179
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Might be the best one I've heard in several years.

180
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: And it's sort of a ricochet shot at another program

181
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: as well, which is incredible. So I will get to that,

182
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: not to bury the lead.

183
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Another college football podcast or just another show like did

184
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: they take a stab at Home Improvement? What did they do?

185
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: No?

186
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: No, No, Another college football program oh okay, okay, it

187
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: was sort of a two for one special. So Josh,

188
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: just to give you a heads up for some of

189
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: the ones that we've had in here in the past

190
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: that you need to live up to. Andy Staples was

191
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: on last year. He said that Tyler Schuck was going

192
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: to be the new Michael Pennock junior. I had that

193
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe would not finish the regular season as Alabama

194
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: starting courter. Oh wow, Dan have I mean he won't

195
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: be this year obviously, but Dan had USC missing a bowl,

196
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: and someone on our Patreon had Charles chip Kelly as

197
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State's interim coach, and like the Relaquest Bowl, which

198
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: did not have we've gotten some of the best ones

199
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: from out on Patreon. So with that being said, mister

200
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Pate being so you're the guest of honor, why don't

201
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: you go first?

202
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: Here comes.

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,239
Speaker 3: I've got lava flavored water and lava colored water, just caffeine,

204
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: but it fits the theme here. Okay, first up, no

205
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 3: apologies to Pitt whatsoever. I've got Georgia Tech playing for

206
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: the ACC Championship. This show could not possibly be higher

207
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: on this team. I'm I say it as a take

208
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: a toa caliber prediction, not thinking myself, it is a

209
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: take a toa caliber prediction.

210
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Those are the best kind, aren't they.

211
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel comfortable in this position. But I know

212
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: a lot of people are going to go, he's clickbaiting.

213
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: What do I want you to click on? I don't know,

214
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: but he's clickbaiting. So here's the thing, many things. Actually,

215
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: I watched this team last year. I think Dan said

216
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: this the other day. If they did nothing else other

217
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: than beat Georgia in the nineteen overtime game last year,

218
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: hardly anyone would think this is bold this year. But

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: because they didn't finish on the plus side of a

220
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: crapshoot coin flip fest at the end of regulation, people

221
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: still think they're a dark horse. They're not a dark horse.

222
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: They are very, very proven at quarterback. But also, you

223
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: got to watch Georgia Tech like three minutes to understand

224
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: the full identity of that team. And this is an

225
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: acc that is very much in a state of flux

226
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 3: beyond Clemson. And I would also look and I would say, well,

227
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: what are their two toughest home games or two toughest

228
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: games period? Clemson comes there, Georgia comes there. Outside of

229
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 3: that not that point spreads are the end all be all,

230
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: but for broad strokes purposes, we could make an argument

231
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: they'll be favored in every game. I fully believe in

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: the identity of the team, and I also fully believe

233
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: that last year, like when they beat Miami, and I

234
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 3: think that was just some fluke. And I also think

235
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: that there are a lot of guys I call them

236
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: hateful three stars. Georgia Tech is a program built with

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: a nucleus of hateful three Stars. No one's accidentally playing

238
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: for Georgia Tech, like everyone is very purposefully there. I

239
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: believe in the mission, and I also, as we're recording,

240
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: I think it's very notable that they just extended Buster

241
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: Faultner and made him the first seven figure coordinator there.

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: Guys he was at Georgia totally comfortable elevating would have

243
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: gotten big jobs at many plays. He rolled the dice

244
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: career wise and went with Brent Key, and it's paid off.

245
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: I could not be higher on that team this year.

246
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: It wouldn't shock me if they won the ACC but

247
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: I thought just having them play for the title was

248
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: enough for what we needed today.

249
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: I fully agree. You know, I'm high on Georgia Tech.

250
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: And there is something about the more I see Brent

251
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: Key that I think I think he just eate sawdust

252
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: for breakfast, and I kind of love it. I kind

253
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: of love everything that he says, and that if you're

254
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: gonna fill your roster with hateful three stars, he feels

255
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: like the ultimate Hateful three star captain. So I'm with you.

256
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: I don't think.

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: I don't even think that it is a simmering.

258
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: It is warm.

259
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: It is like when you get your coffee or tea

260
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: to the exact temperature you like. It's not scalding hot

261
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: because they were good last year and they'd be a

262
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: very good Miami team. But I think it's there's a

263
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: good amount of heat to that.

264
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the part that makes it fun

265
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: just following Georgia Tech from Afar And I know I

266
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: said on our ACC preview and we had some people

267
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: respond to it. If you're not into Joe, like maybe

268
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: if you're a Georgia fan or if you're rooting for

269
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: another school in the ACC, I get it. But if

270
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: you're pretty much anybody else and you're not at least

271
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: a little bit interested or care a little bit about

272
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, you're kind of doing it wrong because Georgia

273
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Tech is the way you live if you're watching from

274
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: the acc from afar, it should be a team that's

275
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: fun as hell. As you said, Josh, as you said Dan,

276
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: they have sort of assumed this identity of brank Key,

277
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: and you know, now a couple of years into this,

278
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: it should be interesting to see how it shakes out.

279
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: There's certainly one of the teams anyway that we called

280
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: out as at least having a shot at this thing,

281
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: because as he said, it's outside of Clemson kind of

282
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder.

283
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: Can I just we were at SEC Media Days the

284
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: other day, which was in Atlanta. I was looking for

285
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: every excuse to get away early. So I hit Georgia

286
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 3: Tech up and said can I come hide over there

287
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: for the day and they said, yeah, come on, So

288
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: I go over there. There's a lot of construction, so

289
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: they have all of the coaching staff parking in this

290
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: auxiliary garage except one member of the staff whose truck

291
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: is jacked up too high to fit in the parking garage.

292
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: And I don't want to tell you which member of

293
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: the staff it is that just randomly pulls up to

294
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: the stadium and no parking lot whatsoever. But given the

295
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: context clues here, I think you can guess who it is.

296
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: So yes, identity, identity, identity, love it with it, love.

297
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: It all right, Dan, your turn? Go ahead?

298
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Steeds.

299
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: This is also simmering. I don't think it's molten hot.

300
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: But I think we're going to see a crazy number

301
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: of retirements after the season. Oh and especially if they

302
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: have graying temples, like Tyler hilden Brands. I think there

303
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: are going to be a number of coaches after this

304
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: season specifically that are going to get that are just

305
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: going to break. I think guys like take your pick,

306
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Farens, Kyle Whittingham across the sports. I mean, Mike

307
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: Norvell technically has gray hair, but I don't think that's

308
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: his decision necessarily. There are just going to be a

309
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: number of guys who either decide that like you know what,

310
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to recruit my roster every hour, or

311
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to guess to see where this program

312
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: will be in three years, Like conference wise, I don't

313
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: want to try and pitch my conference for the college

314
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: football playoff in August. Like I think there are so

315
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: many extra carelars here at play that we are going

316
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: to see like six seven retirements come November, December, January.

317
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that because I did put a

318
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: call out on Patreon to get some takes equally as

319
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: hot and Aaron wrote in to say that this will

320
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: be the last year for all three of the longest

321
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: tenured coaches at the FBS level in Kyle Whittingham, Mike Gundy,

322
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: and Kirk.

323
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: Ference right exactly, and like the Gundhy thing has already

324
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: been sort of spelled out, so we kind of have

325
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: an idea that, you know, this is probably the last

326
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: sort of runway as everything was sort of put in

327
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: detail after last season and so barring a complete turnaround

328
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: with a complete new roster, but yeah, I think we're

329
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: going to see like we haven't seen the coaching turnover

330
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: in the way that we were used to because I

331
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: think a lot of money has been going to collectives

332
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: into rosters rather than buyouts. But I think we are

333
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: going to see some shifts this year. And there's you know,

334
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: in the sec right, Brian Kelly goes eight and four, right,

335
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: that might not be his decision, but I think we're

336
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: going to see much more turnover than we have the

337
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: past couple of years, in large part because of guys

338
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: hitting walls. In a matter of speaking.

339
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: I came very close to this being a prediction. The

340
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: way I was going to phrase it was it was

341
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: not so much leaning towards maybe the seasoned citizens of

342
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: the coaching profession. I was going to look and say,

343
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: I think two of what would universally be considered the

344
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: top ten coaches in the country will just voluntarily throw

345
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: up the deuces. I've gotten a feeling for a while

346
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: there were many guys at the peak, like the pinnacle

347
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: of their careers, that are completely fed up with the landscape.

348
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: But what they've been doing, every one of them, to

349
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: a man, will tell you this. Behind the scenes, what

350
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: they've been doing is they've been trying to hold out

351
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: until and then you fill in the blank, like the

352
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: house settlement or whatever. Well, if they look and they

353
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: see the current situation is no different than what it

354
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: had been, and they don't see any hope on the

355
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: horizon for things returning to whatever normalcy is for them.

356
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 3: Money in this sport is insane at the head coaching

357
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: salary level. So you've got guys who are in their

358
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 3: mid forties whose children's children are set for life, so

359
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: it's not like you're planning on coaching until you're seventy anyway. Also,

360
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 3: they just watched one of their elder statesman, Nick Saban,

361
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: retire and get a raise to go into football or

362
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: to go into TV.

363
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: Yep.

364
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 3: So there's this whole new world out there. I call

365
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: it the Mullen career path, where you could retire at

366
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: age forty seven, even if you intend to get back in.

367
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: You retire, you go keep a seat warm on a

368
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 3: desk somewhere on Saturdays, and you can stay away from

369
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: the game indefinitely. And if you leave when your stock's high,

370
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: you give me. Like John Gruden, everyone asks every year

371
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: when's he coming back? When's he coming back? And your

372
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: stock goes up and up and up because everyone sounds

373
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: like a genius.

374
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: On TV.

375
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: By the way, there's no like, there's no bad decision

376
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: on TV on air. And so I not only do

377
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 3: I think you're right, I think it may be more

378
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: than just a Kirk Farrence or a Kyle Whittingham. I

379
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: think we could get one or two bombshells in December

380
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: of January.

381
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: I think if you wanted to really dig into this

382
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: in a creepy way, which now I'm singing ties tune here,

383
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: where's this said?

384
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Steeds.

385
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 2: Take a look at coaches with high school aged kids

386
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: who are burnt out potentially on coaching and maybe would

387
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: prefer to see their kids play in volleyball games or

388
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: football games or basketball games more than they would, you know,

389
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: traveling once again to see recruits instead of traveling with

390
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: their family. The one name that immediately comes to mind,

391
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 2: and I've said this on the show, I don't think

392
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart's coaching for the next seven years at Athens.

393
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: I really, I really think, and I know his kids

394
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: are of that age or his last kid is of

395
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: that age. I think this is I did not do

396
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: the research looking at his kids, but I'm almost positive

397
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: that's right around the age. And that could be a

398
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: name to me. And if you read John Talty and

399
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: Armin Katayan's book he came very close to stepping down

400
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: amid all the portal craziness of like three years ago,

401
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: that would be a name still to this day. I

402
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: don't know if it's this year, I don't know if

403
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: it's next year. I just don't think he's a like

404
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: lifer guy well.

405
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: That'd be good. Then he leaves and they could poach

406
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning for away from your Oregon Ducks.

407
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be great. That'd be a wonderful spring of events.

408
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: Tie that's the name that I jotted down. And again

409
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: it's not that smoldering a take, but kind of in

410
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: the same vein Mark stoops at Kentucky. Oh well, again,

411
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: this is not exactly like breaking news here, but it

412
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: just seems like he has gotten progressively grumpier. They have

413
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: one of the ten hardest schedules this year.

414
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: I mean, who among us, ty.

415
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: No, I get it. One of the ten hardest schedules

416
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: this year. And I believe they're starting Zach Calzada at

417
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: least that seems to be the plan, which I sure

418
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about that. I don't know

419
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: where they get to buy out money, but it seems

420
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: like that's a situation that's deteriorated quit pretty quickly, excuse me,

421
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: And they're over under is only like four and a

422
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: half this season, so nobody's really expecting a whole lot there,

423
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: And that just kind of feels like it's been in

424
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: the works for a while.

425
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: You know, think about the chapter of the history book

426
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: that's missing. The Mark Stoops goes to Texas A and

427
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: M chapter exactly to be written and got ripped out

428
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: by the locals down there. Credit to the locals, I

429
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: mean for the uprising down there, like Aggie's rebellion. Also,

430
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: they've got critical members of their infrastructure jumping ship, but

431
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: staying in state to go to Louisville never a good sign.

432
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: That's the blinking red light.

433
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: All right, let me where's my button? Out here? Here?

434
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: I'll go.

435
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 4: I'll give you one. Here comes the marvel.

436
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I think my controller might have died here, so I'm

437
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: not even sure this thing's going on anymore, which is

438
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: probably good, So don't get black lung. But alas, I

439
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: have LSUS this year's BAMA, and by that I mean

440
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: a really good SEC team that gets left out of

441
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: the playoff at something like nine to three.

442
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 2: Okay.

443
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously, if you pay attention to this

444
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: sort of thing, you understand, given the schedule, given just

445
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: the lay of the land in the SEC, this is

446
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: very possible. It's very possible for a lot of the

447
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: teams that we're gonna preview in the SEC. But LSU

448
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: in particular, I think is interesting because in many regards,

449
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: this feels like kind of a make or break year

450
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: for Brian Kelly. They loaded up, they went all in

451
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: on the portal, but they've got a brutal schedule. They're

452
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: rebuilding to some extent along the line of course, well

453
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: Campbell goes like fourth overall to the Patriots. You've got

454
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: a high level quarter Oh, it is on. I can

455
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: smell it. You've got a high level quarterback in Garrett.

456
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna clip that exactly. It's on. I can smell it.

457
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, when it starts getting a little

458
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: thicker in here, Uh, Garrett n us Meyer obviously high

459
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: level NFL talent, but through twelve picks last year, so

460
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: a bit of that gunslinger mentality. I don't know if

461
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to get all the mistakes

462
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: out of him in one offseason. It just feels to

463
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: me like LSU is going to be that team at

464
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: the very end where we're trying to figure out who

465
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: are the top twelve, and everybody likes LSU because they

466
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: recognize how talented this team is. But given some of

467
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: the other participants and given the way this thing shakes out,

468
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: I could see them getting left out, and again the

469
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: conversation reignites itself about how many automatic qualifiers belong for

470
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: the SEC for the Big Ten, we do this whole

471
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: cycle all over again with the playoff arguments.

472
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, if you really want to tangle

473
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: that spider web, I think most of us would agree.

474
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: Florida plays one of, if not the toughest schedules in

475
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: the country this year. Yes, Florida goes to LSU. So

476
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: let's say you're right to walk it a step further

477
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: down the path of chaos. Let's say Florida goes to

478
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: LSU and loses a competitive game but finish nine and three.

479
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 3: I think the committee may put Florida in over LSU

480
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: with the same record and a head to head loss

481
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: because the strength of schedule leans Florida that significantly.

482
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah at Miami, another one on that schedule for Florida.

483
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's a brutal slate and absolutely brutal slate.

484
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: They close out with Florida State as they usually do.

485
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: Who knows what we're gonna get from the knowles this year,

486
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: but yeah, that to me, there there's gonna be that

487
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: SEC team and I think we all know it where

488
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: they're just sort of on the cusp, and everybody recognizes

489
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: how talented they are, but because of numbers and because

490
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: of the way that they've set this thing up, they'll

491
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: be on the outside looking in. And again, it's good

492
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: for the content, I guess, but maybe not great if

493
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: you're a fan of those teams.

494
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: I like that. Your hot take was Brian Kelly, who

495
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: has almost exclusively gone nine and three, will go nine

496
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: and three. Brian Kelly nine and three, nine and three,

497
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: eight and four. All right, I think he's gonna go

498
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: nine to three. Okay, so he's like a premium A

499
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: and m BA very much. Yeah, I'll catch all right here,

500
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: I got to play this one. Now, where is it at?

501
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm growing war with your takes.

502
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: Here's the one that I mentioned earlier. And this comes

503
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: to us via Patreon. Gentleman named Davis who's been a

504
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: longtime supporter, and the takes actually from his dad.

505
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: College football isn't what it used to be.

506
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no no, this is this

507
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: is like next level.

508
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I like this.

509
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: He said he was in along. It was in the

510
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: car for a long time with his dad the other day,

511
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: and the take was that Lincoln Riley will be back

512
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma by this time next year. Oh yeah, bravo.

513
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean talk about a jabb at. You will see

514
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: a ricochet shot at Brent Vinnables.

515
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: Lebron went back to Cleveland. It's the perfect take. It's

516
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: Billard went back to Portland.

517
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: Oh do you remember how not only when that happened,

518
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: how shocking it was. Do you remember, like the socioeconomics

519
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: sparring and the debate, or a solid week of the

520
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: quality of life in La versus Norman. LA's a better

521
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: place to live. Can you imagine if those people got

522
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: to tip that bucket upside down? Oh? You greater than CALLI?

523
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: And then the entire country probably divides red and blue

524
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: as to which side of that conversation you're going to

525
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: fall into. And that's when it's most delicious, when we

526
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: get a healthy dose of politics having no business whatsoever,

527
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 3: bleeding their way into this and they do anyway, And

528
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley wants mistaken for a president in an address anyway,

529
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: could work his way into this equation in the most

530
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: sadistic way possible. I don't even know the guy's dad,

531
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 3: but I wish he were my dad. I respect so much.

532
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: Wow, I have a Lincoln Riley adjacent take, but it's

533
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: not as hot as that.

534
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is okay, but what's yours?

535
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, No, I was going to say, what are the

536
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: actual wheels that could be put into motion?

537
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: Right?

538
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: Like, if we're going to construct this in the way

539
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: that Josh was carrying fabric over his shoulder, if we

540
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: were going to lift this take into reality, Yeah, what

541
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: is the likeliest path that it takes?

542
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm not high on USC. I mean,

543
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: it's we're recording this before. I think a lot of

544
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: people heard the Big Ten Show. I don't know when

545
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff's going to come out, but you know,

546
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty low on USC this year. And I guess

547
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: my kind of also adjacent take is that I don't

548
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: think USC is any better. I think they might get

549
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: better on defense, but I think the team as a

550
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: whole might actually be a little bit worse. So you

551
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: don't have to sell me on USC falling short of expectations.

552
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: What does that look like? It probably looks like some

553
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: sort of embarrassing loss in Big Ten play, probably an

554
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: eight and four record at best. It probably looks like

555
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: Oklahoma getting destroyed by its schedule, which again is speaking

556
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: of brutal schedules. Oklahoma's right there, So you're basically talking

557
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: this through on two different levels. USC and Oklahoma falling

558
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: will all short of expectations.

559
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: I think I know how it would play out. The

560
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: answer is the answer is it won't happen. Yes, But

561
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 3: if it were to happen, I don't think. Did he

562
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: say Riley's going to get fired or Riley just takes

563
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: the OU job.

564
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: He says Lincoln Riley will be back at Oklahoma by

565
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: this time next year.

566
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: That's what I need. Oh, he knows what he's doing. Yeah,

567
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: this is not this guy's first time around the hot

568
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 3: take Mary, go around. Here's what would have to happen.

569
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: USC has a great year, yes, but the dynamic behind

570
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: the scenes we start to hear, is that the general

571
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: manager is not answering to the head coach. He's answering

572
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 3: to the a D. And Lincoln Riley, even in a

573
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: great year, has been rubbed the wrong way by that.

574
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: And they come to an end pass and they won't

575
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: rework the language in the agreement and then he wants

576
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: out and Brent Venables has been a smoldering tire fire

577
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: all year in this scenario, and so you've got to

578
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: remember a new athletic director coming in at OU, You've

579
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: got a new general manager there. Maybe we find out

580
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: Jim Naggy's preferences Lincoln Riiley, the new AD's preferences Lincoln Riley.

581
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: I still don't know how you wipe the memory clean

582
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: of your entire constituency there, but that's the only way

583
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: that this could possibly happen.

584
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: I think that's true. I think there would have to

585
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: be maybe a quarterback recruit who really wants to go

586
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: to Oklahoma but is not confident in their offense and

587
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: grew up loving Baker Mayfield, which is really strange to say,

588
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: we're old. It has to be something in along lines

589
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 2: of recruiting not working out at USC behind the scenes,

590
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: and an amount of money that is comically large to

591
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: move away from USC back to Oklahoma given the baggage there.

592
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: It's hot. I can't fully construct it, but there's something there.

593
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Now. Counterpoint, Yeah, given some of the ongoing strife about

594
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: USC maybe trying to worm its way out of the

595
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame series in order to perhaps benefit them in

596
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff, is Oklahoma's schedule a situation that

597
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley would want to step back into now that

598
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: they've moved to the SEC.

599
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: That's true. It's a good question.

600
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: The rumors are that that's the entire reason he left. Yeah, exactly,

601
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: denied by him, but those are rumors. Nonetheless, Man, I.

602
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Like that Davis's dad, whatever your name is, sir, I

603
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: was going to say, bravo. My hot take is going

604
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: to be that Lincoln Riley parks his super yacht the

605
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: SS buyout in the south of France rather than outside

606
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: of Majorca. But I guess that's open to interpretation of

607
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: what kind of personality you think Lincoln Riley has if

608
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: it does not work out at USC where he parks

609
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: that super yacht.

610
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: But where are they coming up with that kind of cabbage?

611
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, Man, Is there a healthy donor we

612
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: don't know about, because there are wealthy donors, but I

613
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: don't think they're super into USC football in the same

614
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: way that perhaps healthy donors are elsewhere.

615
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: Because hasn't that been the point of contention with respect

616
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: to a potential buyout for Lincoln Riley these last two years?

617
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: Now?

618
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about it, and clearly USC people are aspiring

619
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: for more. But you got to find a lot of

620
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: money in order to get him out of there.

621
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: We'll see how the new Marvel movies do. Right, that's

622
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: sort of uh the connection, right if I didn't usc

623
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: got a big recruit and they impressed him by taking

624
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: him to Marvel Studios last year and sort of dressing

625
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: up some sort of digital image or something because it's, ah, god,

626
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: what I think jakeem Stewart thanos. They made a big

627
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: deal of that. So if the Marvel if what is

628
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: the new one right now? Fantastic form? If that's a

629
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: huge hit, Tye, you never know. It's like the the

630
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: Cody Campbell but with iron Man, it's great.

631
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: I am going to seamlessly weave my next prediction into

632
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: that this will be the transition of this show. All right,

633
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: hold on, see.

634
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Hold on, you're a guest of honor, Josh. You need

635
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: a proper introduction for these continue please.

636
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee notably made the playoff last year, right. Expectations notably

637
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: high in the SEC, including on Rocky Top. However, one

638
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: of the biggest stories of the spring was the Nico

639
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: Iamaliava stuff. I am a believer that not Fantastic four

640
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: but eight and four fantastic. Eight and four will be

641
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: Tennessee's record this year. And I say fantastic because they

642
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: will be the only team in the SEC with legit

643
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: a tier expectation, including one who made the playoff last year,

644
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: who will find a way to go eight and four.

645
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: But please the fan base, it's going to be a

646
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: very very weird dynamic. The country has kind of forgotten

647
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: how the Nico stuff happened. Tennessee folks have it so

648
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: Tennessee folks were really, really proud that Josh Hypel planted

649
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: the flag. Now the entire time, anyone who's of you know,

650
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: at the outside persuasion looks at that and says, good

651
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: for you, guys, but are you ready to have his

652
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: back if you start losing? This fall remains to be seen.

653
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: But knowing these people like I do, I reside in

654
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 3: this state, I think that they're going to fall off

655
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: a little bit. I think they're going to go eight

656
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: and four, but I think they'll be really scrappy competitive,

657
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: like not blowout losses. Just it's one of those four

658
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: losses by a combined nineteen points type of seasons, and

659
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 3: I think they'll look and they'll say, wait, we've got

660
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: the number one quarterback committed for next year. We got

661
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: a lot of young guys who got a lot of

662
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: really good experience this year. It suck to lose. We

663
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: don't like it, but a lot of places around here

664
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: they want to fire you if you went eight and four,

665
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: and sometimes in Tennessee world they want to do that.

666
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: I think this year Tennessee finds a way to be

667
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: a four lost team, and the fan base is really

668
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: strangely good with it and excited about it.

669
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: Come December, a.

670
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: Charming eight and four.

671
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. What I was going to say is I

672
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: was just looking over Tennessee because we've yet as we're

673
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: recording this, we've yet to record our full on SEC preview.

674
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee is going to smoke Syracuse in Week one,

675
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: the neutral p Syche game in Atlanta. And to your point, Josh,

676
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: if you win in resounding fashion, a reasonably well publicized

677
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: non conference game the first week of the year, that

678
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: tends to build up a lot of goodwill. Yeah, and

679
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: so new quarterback coming in, like they make the trade,

680
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: they get Joey Agyar and you know, everybody I think

681
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: is going to roll with him. Now. I could see

682
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: them winning that game in resounding fashion, and even though

683
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: it gets harder from that point forward, there will be

684
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: a lot of goodwill in the Tennessee universe.

685
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: I just look. I think that it's very underestimated nationally,

686
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 3: how proud those people were that their guy ended up

687
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 3: being the guy who just said no enough. Like they're

688
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: fully they're fully committed in Nico, They're all in on him,

689
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: and then it goes down the way it goes down,

690
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 3: and he's in the middle of his career there, like

691
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: they're looking to elevate from a two lost season and

692
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: a playoff run and he says no, knowing full well.

693
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if the fan base knows this. Internally,

694
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: they know full well they're going to take a step

695
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: back by doing that. This year, they got all defensive

696
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: line concerns, which they were going to have anyway. Frankly,

697
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: I thought they were going to take a step back

698
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: with Nico, So without him, they're really going to take

699
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: a step back. But they did all that, and then

700
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: five years from now, if he's still there and we're

701
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: doing this in August of like twenty thirty, I think

702
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: we'll look back and say, what a shrewd tactical move

703
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: that Hypel, knowing they may take a step back anyway,

704
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: bought himself a mountain of equity and goodwill by pulling

705
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: the move he did when he did, which gave him

706
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: perfect cover to go eight and four, only to know

707
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: that he was about to springboard into his next generation

708
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: quarterback coming in. And you can't see that right now

709
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 3: because it's just fog on the horizon. But I think

710
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: when we look back and the fog clears, I think

711
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: this will have been a very very shrewd tactical move

712
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 3: that the likes of which makes a PR firm very

713
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: very jealous because they didn't come up with it.

714
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: And Jim Haslam gets a rebate they gets finally, finally

715
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: he gets a little bit of money back for his

716
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: investment because their budget is not where they thought it

717
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: might have been going into the season. Okay, I like that.

718
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: This is good? All right, Dan, you're up pool?

719
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: All right? War takes why bird?

720
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: My controller has stopped working, which is probably good for

721
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: the lungs. You know it's back there. I've got a

722
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: light on it. We can dress it up in post

723
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: continue Dan, Please.

724
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: I think somebody who is positive that they're not going

725
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: to have quarterback issues is going to have a major

726
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: situation in mid to late October. So the best way

727
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: to issue this take would be to be specific, but

728
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be as specific as I should be.

729
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it's going to be someone in

730
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: the grouping of like Dante More, someone in the grouping

731
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: of Arch Manning, Ty Simpson, Julian saying, somebody who's like,

732
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: we've got our guy for sure, CJ.

733
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: Carr. CJ Carr.

734
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this is a season in which so many what

735
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 2: we perceive to be powers are heading into a year

736
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: where you're just like, oh, yeah, he's definitely the guy,

737
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: He's the next guy, and we are going to roll

738
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 2: and John Mattier at Oklahoma whoever, there are too many

739
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 2: teams with too many and Mattier has played significant time,

740
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: so that's maybe a little bit that would be more

741
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: shocking if John Mattier doesn't work out at Oklahoma given

742
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: the coordinator thing, given a healthier offense around him, it

743
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: should be a healthier offense for Oklahoma this year. But

744
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: I think there is going to be you know, Carson

745
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: Beck has the elbow thing, so I'm not going to

746
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: put him in the same category. But somebody is going

747
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: to be scrambling around Halloween that didn't think they would be.

748
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: How's that tie?

749
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: I hope it's not CJ. Car. I know you hope

750
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: it's not saying this, and it's like my ears start ringing.

751
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look it, and that's not even to account

752
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: for injuries, which clearly can throw right.

753
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: And we've got a lot of new offensive lines in

754
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 2: front of these guys. Oregon's got a new offensive line,

755
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 2: Texas has a new offensive line. I'm pretty sure both

756
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: of those offensive lines are going to work out. Notre

757
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: Dames should be good. You've got what a new quarterback

758
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: at ole Miss with new offensive linemen.

759
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 3: Like Georgia same.

760
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: There's a lot variable here going into the season, and

761
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it would be the worst ideas for

762
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: all of us to familiarize ourselves with the depth in

763
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 2: these rooms.

764
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: Not only do I agree with it, this will happen,

765
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: this will unequivocally happen. And that's why I've, like Mima

766
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 3: always said, write your predictions and pencil in August. This

767
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 3: is the most important year that I think we've ever

768
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: had in the history of college football. To not call

769
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 3: anyone's predictions stupid in August and also to write your

770
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: own predictions in the lightest of pencil. Yeah, I think

771
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: it was you who made the point the other day.

772
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 3: You were talking about how much portal churn there is

773
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 3: and how it's it's virtually impossible to know things definitively

774
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: about rosters, even just at the quarterback position, even with

775
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: the guys who aren't transfers this year, there's so much

776
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: uncertainty around them up to an including them. How could

777
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: you ever know? How did how how do their own

778
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: staffs even know definitively what they have? So yeah, I

779
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: agree it's gonna happen.

780
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: If you were a trouverballer, you would have said stabs.

781
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 2: But otherwise I fully agree, right, I fully agree.

782
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: Here's here's mine, here's mine.

783
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: Yes, Steeds.

784
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Kind of on the topic of quarterbacks, Dan, you already

785
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: heard me say this, Mark Kronowski, Mark Ronowski, nothing gets

786
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: the blood pumping like talking a little FCS quarterback transfer

787
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: on this show, Mark Kronowski. I have him down as

788
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: the best Iowa quarterback since Brad Banks. Okay, all right,

789
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: I will reiterate this again for the crowd. I watched

790
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: hours upon hours of Mark Kronowski clips when I should

791
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: have been studying the Big Ten as a whole other

792
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: teams across college football. I think they can do a

793
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun stuff with him. I was workshopping that

794
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: he's the Skylar Thompson of Will Howard's I don't know

795
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: if that works, but I think he's a solid dual

796
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: threat quarterback with upside who is not going to try

797
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: to run around you, but he will try to run

798
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: through you, which I like about him, and based on

799
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: the way that they used him at his previous stop,

800
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: I think given the offensive setup with Tim Lester, they

801
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: can incorporate some of that. It's a great effect. Now

802
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: who is he throwing to? Not talking about great question,

803
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: but alas Mark Ronowski is sort of like my pet

804
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: player this year, and if he hits at Iowa, and

805
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: if the defense is remotely where it's been, which I

806
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: think we just assume is fact at this point over

807
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: the last ten to fifteen years, I think Iowa has

808
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: a real chance to show real upside and surprise a

809
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of people who may not have them on their

810
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: radar screen.

811
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 3: Dan, do you want to go first?

812
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: I think this is just ty wish casting. I don't

813
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: know if this is a take, he's just really hopeful

814
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: that an FCS quarterback works out for Iowa that hasn't

815
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 2: developed quarterbacks traditionally. Although they got better last year, I

816
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like this is another team with

817
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: the variable issue right that he has played I think

818
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 2: one game against power conference competition last year in Oklahoma

819
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: State at South Dakota State. Offensive line questions running backs

820
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: should be okay, and receiver questions. I just don't think

821
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: they are built around him for him to become a

822
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: folk hero yet yet, Well, how are they going to

823
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: bring in? Is Ryan Williams transferring to Iowa next week?

824
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: You want to talk about like Lincoln back to Norman

825
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 3: or Ryan Williams to Iowa City.

826
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: Let's that's the move. Well, hold on, We've got that

827
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: Caden Proctor back and forth between Tuscaloosa and Iowa City.

828
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: So there's precedent, the Caden Proctor express. Baby.

829
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Iowa only loosely believes in the quarterback position. So

830
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 3: to paint this scenario is tough? Did you say? Because

831
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: I want to make sure when I steal this quote

832
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 3: and use it in my social circle, I have it correct.

833
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 3: The Skyler Thompson of Will Howard's.

834
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: Yes, that is what I jotted down.

835
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, So hold on, let's say if we unpack that,

836
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 2: you're saying that Skyler Thompson is of the Will Howard

837
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: like genus because they went to Kansas State together.

838
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: I don't.

839
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 2: I guess they were both like somewhat mobile, they were

840
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: folk heroes, and that they won big games. Will Howard

841
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: won the conference.

842
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: My thinking was that Skyler Thompson was like eighty five

843
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: percent of Will Howard. Okay, and obviously Will Howard won

844
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: a national championship with a much better team and was

845
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: very good down the stretch. So the best of Will Howard,

846
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: we know. The best of Will Howard is now playing

847
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so good quarterback.

848
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: And Skyler Thompson was a giant killer beat Oklahoma. Yeah,

849
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: and Skylar Thompson also now in the NFL. Is I

850
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: think a backup for the Dolphins or somebody. So, I mean,

851
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: these are guys that have gone on to the next level.

852
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: And I don't know if Gronowski is either of them,

853
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 2: but I look at his game, I see a little

854
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: bit of Will Howard.

855
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they use them.

856
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: I think that it's well documented a lot of both

857
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: play by play and color. Guys and girls listen to

858
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: this show. So I think the real task is for

859
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: anyone who draws the Iowa broadcast assignment this year. Yes,

860
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 3: nip at any point that we could get just seamlessly

861
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: woven into the fabric of the broadcast that phrase, you know,

862
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 3: Gronowski kind of the Skylar Thompson of Will Howard out here.

863
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: If we could get that woven in, I don't care

864
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 3: what else happens today, this will have been a win.

865
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 2: Well, we have Jason Bennetti in our pocket, and so

866
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 2: he's Fox. Okay, it's doable. It's a there's a not

867
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: zero percent chance. Okay, ty, uh, Josh, what do you

868
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: have next?

869
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 3: Ty?

870
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: Play the sound?

871
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: Oh do I have to play? I forgot I forgot

872
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: my own?

873
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? Why all right?

874
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead, mister Pate.

875
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: All right. How familiar are you, guys with Michigan State's offense?

876
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: Not really pretty familiar. Actually, yeah, so tough road last year.

877
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 3: I think we would all agree. I what you did

878
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: to Gronowski film the other day, I have done with

879
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 3: Michigan State almost like conspiratorial offensive takes. And I believe

880
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: that Michigan State will jump seventy spots minimum in points

881
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 3: per game this year, and they were one hundred and

882
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: twenty fourth in points per game last year, so I

883
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: need them up in like the fifties, the low fifties

884
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 3: or better this year. Here's what I see, delusion, some

885
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: would say, But what I see is, of course you

886
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: got Childs at quarterback. But beyond tim there's a lot

887
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 3: of mystery about the offensive line transfers they brought in.

888
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 3: But one of them was like an All FCS guy,

889
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 3: another one was All ACC honorable mention. One was a

890
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: rotational starter at Oregon State. I think they'll be good

891
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: enough on the offensive line. Marsh is a really good

892
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 3: wide receiver. Of Endings a really good tight end. I

893
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: think that you get the year two bump as well.

894
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: The year two bump is just science at this point.

895
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: I think there will be quantum improvement in their production.

896
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: And it's always nice to know they only need to

897
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: be fifty first or something like that in the country

898
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,959
Speaker 3: for this to hit. So I think they're going They're

899
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 3: going really really scale hard points per game, can't get

900
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 3: any worse, got to get better. I think it'll get

901
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 3: a lot better.

902
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: So you're talking about I did some quick math. They

903
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: scored nineteen a game last year. You're talking about getting

904
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 2: to around thirty yep, and so thirty points per game

905
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: times twelve, Because this is what you do in the

906
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: Big Ten. You have to do some math to figure

907
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: out some minimum scoring acceptance rates. After Iowa's drive to

908
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: what three twenty five?

909
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: Three twenty five yep rip.

910
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: So we're talking about a race to three hundred and

911
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: sixty this year. Hashtag full circle three sixty Michigan State.

912
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: I don't hate this. I've actually watched a lot of

913
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 2: Jonathan Smith offenses because of Oregon and watching those Washington

914
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: teams and Oregon State teams, and I don't think it'll

915
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: be terribly difficult for this team to improve, and so

916
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 2: so I appreciate this. That they have intriguing skill talent.

917
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: The offensive line needs to get a lot better, and

918
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure they brought in fourteen dudes from UTAP to

919
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: try and make it so. But I don't hate this.

920
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: I don't hate this. I don't have their schedule in

921
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: front of me, ty, I don't know if you have.

922
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm ready to fact check, but I do, And who's

923
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 2: standing in their way? I don't know what rhymes with

924
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: three sixty.

925
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, if they're going to do it,

926
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: they have to get off the three and oh start

927
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: because they've got Western Michigan, Boston College, and Youngstown State

928
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: and they got to pick up three others along the

929
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: way if they want to get to Bowl eligibility. So

930
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: I think Maryland's beatable. They're on the schedule. There just

931
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: aren't two other obvious ones to me on this thing,

932
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: Like could they be UCLA at home? Probably? I don't

933
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: think that highly of UCLA, sure, But then you start

934
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: getting into the territory of can they go to usc

935
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: and when can they go to Nebraska? And when can

936
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: they go to Indiana? And when they've got Michigan in

937
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Penn State And there's a lot of AMMO

938
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: on the schedule. So if you believe in Michigan State,

939
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: you are believing in them dumping maybe one, maybe two

940
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: of some of those teams that I listed. I like

941
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: the offense too. I think they obviously need to root

942
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: out some of the mistakes or the mistake prone Neess.

943
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: Not a word of Aidan Chiles, but I like the

944
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: combo of him. I like Nick Marsh. I think there

945
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: is a lot of intrigue with that offensive line. I

946
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: also think that the defense will make some things interesting.

947
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 1: Like they've got four of their five top tacklers gone,

948
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: which hurts. But the upside to all the injuries last

949
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:28,959
Speaker 1: year is that there were a lot of other guys

950
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: that got experienced. So I think across the board. Second

951
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: year coach Boost definitely science. As you said, Josh, I'm

952
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: not all in on Michigan State, but I do believe

953
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: they're going to find their way into a bowl game.

954
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 3: Now in your two I'm just I don't need them

955
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 3: to have a certain record. What I need them to

956
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 3: do is drop fifty five on Youngstown. Yes, I need

957
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 3: them to drop points on USC. I need them to

958
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: get theirs when it's there to be gotten. So that

959
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 3: if it's thirteen on the board against Penn State, Okay,

960
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: we're not dead in the water. We could still this happened.

961
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: Statistically, we're going to balance this. I like that, Yes, Buddy,

962
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: like that.

963
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: If they're scoring in aggregate whatever thirty points a game

964
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: they're this year is Indiana.

965
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 3: That's correct, They could be. They could that's look for slate,

966
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 3: but yeah, it could be.

967
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 2: That means they're at least flirting with thirty against teams

968
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: like Iowa and maybe not Penn State, but USC and Minnesota. Like,

969
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: if you're scoring thirty points against Minnesota, you've got a

970
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: great shot to beat Minnesota. Right, the games are gonna come.

971
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: If you're scoring like that, that's not bad.

972
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't hate this.

973
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't hate by the way, ty, just because you misspoke,

974
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 2: are almost misspoke earlier. I don't know if you wanted

975
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: to enter the term into the Soliverble lexicon. What's a

976
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: coach boost? Oh? Yeah, that's something that you wanted to

977
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: Let's let's move on to.

978
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: Our next take here.

979
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 4: Moretikes why births.

980
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: This one comes to us from Bob Okay, the Big

981
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Ten will win the college football Playoff for the third

982
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: straight year. It'll be Notre Dame once again ahead of

983
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: the SEC schools, Kaylin debor out at Alabama, a crisis

984
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: of confidence in the SEC. Okay lot going on here.

985
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 2: From Bob, So, the Big Ten winning it's third straight

986
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: basically assumes that it's Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon or No,

987
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: that's it, that's sound.

988
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: Who's somebody else?

989
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 4: Maybe?

990
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the big headliner here, though,

991
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: is the boor out at Alabama. Yeah, what is there

992
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: a minimum threshold? Or does such thing even exist? Josh?

993
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: That would lead to Kaitlin de Bor being out at Alabama?

994
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: Like if they were to go eight and four against

995
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: a tough schedule, are they gonna cut bait with the guy?

996
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 3: There's just there's no world where that actually happens now

997
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: where the world where it is attempted to be spoken

998
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: into existence is far and wide. The world where that

999
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 3: actually happened. First off, if buyouts were not even a thing,

1000
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 3: I don't think it would happen. Buyouts are a thing,

1001
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 3: so I especially don't think it will happen now. The

1002
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 3: conversation would would be crazy. But I this, I don't

1003
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: think people have recalibrated their thinking to account for the

1004
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: modern age, the modern landscape of college football. There's a

1005
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 3: world it could be Debor, or it could be Sark

1006
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 3: or whoever. These top tier teams in the SEC, someone's

1007
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 3: going to catch an eight and four this year because

1008
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 3: today's eight and four is yesterday's ten and two with

1009
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: the different depth of roster now. But I don't think

1010
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: people have calibrated that. They still think their floor is

1011
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 3: nine and three everywhere in the top tier of the SEC,

1012
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 3: and that's just not the case anymore. And if Kaylin

1013
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: Dbor happens to be end up being the first casualty

1014
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: of that case study, if you will, then so be it.

1015
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 3: Someone will deal with this this year. In fact, like

1016
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: LS some combination of Georgia, Texas, Bama, LSU, those are

1017
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 3: your top four in the odds in the SEC. It

1018
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 3: would shock me if one of those didn't fall to

1019
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 3: eight and four this year because there aren't enough wins

1020
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 3: to go around for everyone. So it could be Debor

1021
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: or someone else. Someone will have to deal with this

1022
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 3: this year. But I don't I don't think it would

1023
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 3: take scandal or like fall off a cliff struggle to

1024
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 3: make a Bowl game type stuff. And even then it

1025
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 3: may be like mutual, he's so humiliated or it's so

1026
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 3: oil and water that he just decides with the ad

1027
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 3: I'll step away. I just don't see how he gets

1028
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 3: outright acted.

1029
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: Well the conspiracy theory of my wonderful co host here, yeah,

1030
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: because it is sort of that. But we talked about

1031
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: offline potentially Luke Fickle not working out at Wisconsin, there

1032
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: being an opening at Wisconsin, a place that you know

1033
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: an area of the country Kaitlin de Boor is familiar with.

1034
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: He decides, if it I don't like the lifestyle at Alabama,

1035
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm going back up to the Upper Midwest. And then

1036
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: there's suddenly an opening at Alabama. So not out as

1037
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: in being fired, but out as in there is now

1038
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: a new opening at Alabama that we didn't expect.

1039
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: Now, okay, two different takes on this topic. One, what

1040
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: if Nick Saban has just been doing a lot of

1041
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,959
Speaker 2: transcendental meditation and pilates and is doing some cold top

1042
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: therapy and is just super refreshed, and he's just you

1043
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 2: know what, I've had some regrets. I don't like sitting

1044
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 2: next to Shane Gillis and having him spit in my face.

1045
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go back to what I'm used to.

1046
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: One Number two, just in terms of that specific take

1047
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 2: of mind that I didn't think about, not a lot

1048
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: of people basically give up seventy million dollars for the

1049
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: right to move to Wisconsin, a beautiful state that I've

1050
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 2: enjoyed going to. That's a lot of money to say

1051
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to pay seventy million dollars to coach at Wisconsin.

1052
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: That's a lot. It's a lot. It is a lot.

1053
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we're, you know, if we're doing theater

1054
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: to the mind here.

1055
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: I think that's where right around where his biot was

1056
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: after last year. I don't know if the number has

1057
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: dipped at some point this spring or something, but it's

1058
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: probably not dipped a ton. That's that's the journey there. Okay,

1059
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: all right, I appreciate that.

1060
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: Let's do uh, let's do uh, you know, one, two,

1061
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: three more here? All right? Why what do you got

1062
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: for me?

1063
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 4: Dan?

1064
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame won't lose an embarrassing game to a lesser team.

1065
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: That's not really a take, but it's more of a

1066
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: it's more of a take than it should be.

1067
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: We're on a roll here, ty, I think they only

1068
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 2: have what Boise and Navy coming from a slightly lesser

1069
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 2: conference situation, They're gonna be fine. Notre Dame is gonna

1070
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 2: be fine this year. The other take I have let

1071
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 2: me read it exactly as I wrote it. Playoff ratings

1072
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 2: will be a not super fun talking point around New Year's.

1073
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: A not super fun talking point? Is this because you

1074
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: just hate all ratings discussions the way I do?

1075
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 4: I do?

1076
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 2: Or yeah, I just think it's going to grow uncomfortable.

1077
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: I think, what's it's going to be like Josh Pate's

1078
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 2: forehead right now? I think it's not going I hope

1079
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: I got that. Okay, it still look great. I think

1080
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: we're going to get to the point where because of

1081
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 2: what the NFL is doing around Christmas Day, and not

1082
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 2: that there are college football games I don't leave on

1083
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: Christmas Day this year, but just because the NFL is

1084
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 2: treading into that territory more and more, and because I

1085
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: think there is growing resentment around who is running the

1086
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 2: playoff and the SEC and the Big Ten expanding and

1087
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: fighting amongst themselves about playoff formats and if numbers aren't

1088
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: sterling and spectacular and don't even hold where they were

1089
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: this past year. I think the discourse is going to

1090
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: get heated up as people are paying attention during Bowls season,

1091
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 2: and it's not going to be a fun discourse. That's

1092
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 2: what I have.

1093
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: Who was it just said recently? Who just said recently

1094
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: at Media Day that they should move the start of

1095
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: the season up two weeks or was it Dan Lanning Landing?

1096
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: I said they should start it in a week zero,

1097
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: give themselves a little extra breathing room at the end

1098
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: of the year because college football belongs on Saturdays and

1099
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: didn't appear as if he is a fan of this

1100
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: sort of working around the NFL.

1101
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just especially as the playoff goes to a

1102
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 2: place where you're just going to see itactuated with Big

1103
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 2: ten and SEC teams, I think you're sending a message

1104
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: to a lot of people who love college football that

1105
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 2: these are the only teams that they're allowed to watch

1106
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: as the season ends. And I don't think it's a

1107
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: great message.

1108
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: That's all, all right, mister Page, Yes, what else do

1109
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: you got for us anything?

1110
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: So I kind of I kind of leaked it a

1111
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: second ago. But take that top four of SEC odds, Bama, Georgia, Texas, LSU.

1112
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 3: I think someone goes I almost want to say seven

1113
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: and five, but I will say there is an eight

1114
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 3: and four in that group, and then I will do

1115
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 3: I want to go, yes, someone goes seven and five

1116
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 3: out of that group, I'll go seven and five. Someone

1117
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 3: go seven to five.

1118
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: I've got one here that came in on Patreon that

1119
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: the arch Manning hype won't pan out and Texas will

1120
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: miss the playoff.

1121
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 3: Missing the playoff now, Yeah, because because that is closely

1122
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 3: related to one of the predictions I left on the

1123
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: cutting room floor, which is Texas is a two lost

1124
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 3: team facing an undefeated OU and Red River, Yeah, which

1125
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 3: which they could lose that win and leave Dallas five hundred.

1126
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 3: And that's how that's how precarious your positioning is in

1127
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 3: this sport, because Sark is on top of the world

1128
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, if they don't, like if they missed

1129
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 3: the playoff this year, do you know how quickly that

1130
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 3: goes from no one can stop us to wait a second.

1131
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 3: So we lost to Georgia twice last year, We got

1132
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 3: a shot against Ohio State, we lost to them. We

1133
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 3: lost all our big games this year. Do we just recruit?

1134
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 3: Is that all we do here?

1135
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 2: And it wasn't not Sark's reputation at USC.

1136
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we started talking about this a little bit,

1137
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: but there there is a fair amount new on the

1138
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: Texas side too, uh huh. You know, so it's it's

1139
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: a take, but you could at least like Squint and

1140
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: understand the logic there. And though I like arch Manning,

1141
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: and though I think he's got an incredible skill set

1142
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: and obviously a name that precedes it to the earlier point.

1143
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new a quarterback this year, and

1144
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: you can't assume all of them are just going to

1145
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: hit as expected.

1146
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 2: I have one. I don't know if you want, I

1147
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: mean sort of on the same Yeah, go ahead. I

1148
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 2: think there is a non zero chance Mizugo's like eleven

1149
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: and one this year because of the schedule. Buddy, Now

1150
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: you've got to be it's gotta be ready to invest

1151
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: in the Beau Pribula experience. I grant you, and I am,

1152
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 2: by the way, I know you are.

1153
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1154
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 2: At one point, yes, last year, you were like, oh,

1155
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 2: bo Prebula is better than Drew Aller and he was

1156
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 2: like WHOA for a moment, for a moment I had,

1157
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: I had a quarter against Minnesota where he was just

1158
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 2: ready to throw it all away to Baguire.

1159
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: We're not here to talk about the pastor here to

1160
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: talk yeah future.

1161
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 2: The schedule is so incredible, and they're just like kind

1162
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 2: of solid across the board, uh and not not even

1163
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 2: just kind of solid, Like it doesn't seem to me

1164
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 2: in late July early August that they have like a

1165
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: catastrophicackness right now and so missoo quietly just rampaging through

1166
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 2: that schedule. I think it's on the table. I'm not

1167
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: predicting it to be so, but I think it's on

1168
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: the table.

1169
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if people out there listening understand this schedule,

1170
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: because this is the kind of schedule you would build

1171
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: in the old NCAA football game, where you wanted to

1172
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: schedule hard enough yep, so that you wouldn't get docked

1173
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: by then the BCS, but easy enough so that you

1174
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too threatened along the way. They only have

1175
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: four road games. They avoid Texas, they avoid Tennessee, Ole,

1176
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: miss Lsu, Georgia, and Florida, And on top of it,

1177
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: in terms of giving their self like a little bit

1178
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: of runway to build momentum, their first six games are

1179
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: at home HM the first six games that includes a

1180
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: biggie against South Carolina at the end of September. That

1181
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: includes Alabama on October the eleventh. They don't go on

1182
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: the road until October eighteenth this season, which is you will.

1183
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 3: Have Halloween decorations out long before Zori leaves home.

1184
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: Incredible.

1185
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: It's it's not only an incredible schedule, but like the

1186
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 2: actual manner in which it works out, they are in

1187
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: like a letdown spot against six of the better teams

1188
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 2: on their schedule, Like it's not even just advantageous in

1189
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 2: terms of home road splits and who they miss, but

1190
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, we have this team after they play LSU,

1191
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: we have that team after they play at Alabama. We

1192
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: have this team. Like it could not have worked out better.

1193
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: You got to be in on bo Pribula, which you

1194
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 2: are tea.

1195
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying if this happens, also as much

1196
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: as we're buying prebula stock, if this happens, does it

1197
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 3: not coincide with a mad hardy coming out of nowhere

1198
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: to win the Dope Walker Award?

1199
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 4: Yes?

1200
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,479
Speaker 2: Absolutely does. He was very quietly incredible last year for stretches. Yes,

1201
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 2: all right, doing eleven one year zoo it is not

1202
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: even that hot to take. I mean I think there

1203
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 2: there will probably end up with a better record than

1204
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 2: the actual content of their performances.

1205
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps, but well the old ker is seven and a half.

1206
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: So if you believe at all in Miszoo and at

1207
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: all in the schedule, and at all in Boprabulah with

1208
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: the schedule, I mean they might be six and oh

1209
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: after those Well first however, reaighty handful of games. I

1210
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: guess they're probably not going to beat Alabama. That's a

1211
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: bridge too far. But either way, even if they start

1212
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: five to one or four and two, the rest of

1213
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: the way, it's still there to get to seven wins.

1214
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: So Mazoo has Alabama and get this a revenge spot

1215
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: for Alabama against Vanderbilt the week before.

1216
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, that's it. Well, why don't we

1217
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: leave it there for people out there listening who have

Speaker 1: Check out Josh Pate's college football show does a terrific job.

1238
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: Has had nothing but the kindest of words to say

1239
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: about our show and how in some weird way it

1240
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: has helped inspire him to do what he does. So

1241
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: we're grateful to have him in the for Ballerhood along

1244
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: of our episodes. We're going on Josh's show as well

1245
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: as part of the Home and Home, so we're talking

1246
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: takes on this show today. On his episode, we're going

1247
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: to talk through some things that were just looking forward

1248
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: to as fans, as podcasters, as just sports fans as

1249
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: a whole. There are so many interesting storylines this year

1250
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: in the world of college football, and if you tune

1251
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: into his episode upcoming with us, you will get to

1252
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,479
Speaker 1: hear what we have to say.

1253
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting and I agree, and it's great,

1254
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 2: and I definitely recommend you go check that out. The

1255
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 2: idea of a take, like our takes were not necessarily

1256
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: rooted in being one hundred percent serious, but it's like,

1257
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 2: here's an interesting way to think about this aspect of

1258
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 2: a team or sport that I kind of buy into. Right,

1259
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 2: it's not, you know, the take isn't that you know

1260
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley is going to be coaching Oklahoma again, Like

1261
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 2: maybe maybe the what is it the dad of a listener?

1262
01:01:54,560 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 2: That's his take? But I was sort of writing off

1263
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: the idea of takes as sort of a weird, silly exercise,

1264
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 2: and there's nothing weird and silly about Mount Takato. Of course,

1265
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 2: we respect geothermal violence.

1266
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Be careful, be careful for what you wish for. This

1267
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: is still an act of volcan.

1268
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 2: When people ask like, hey, what's what's saliverbal like, my,

1269
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: first things first, they respect geothermal violence, that's right, first

1270
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 2: things first. Second of all, I was willing to write

1271
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 2: off the take a sphere until I saw this quote

1272
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: from this weekend. Did you see Skip Bayless's quote about

1273
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler, recent winner of the Open Championship. Did you

1274
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 2: see his.

1275
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Quote I have my hand over my face.

1276
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: Guys quote see Tirewood, see Michael Jordan, see Tom Brady,

1277
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 2: and on a far, far lower level see me. Okay, so,

1278
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: first of all, it's the fake humility. I love it.

1279
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: I approve Yep. I've always been obsessed with maximizing the

1280
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: talent God gave me. I felt I was called by

1281
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: God to be the very best truth telling commentator and writer.

1282
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: As I could be the very best however, I could

1283
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 2: maximize my talent that God gave me, I'm going.

1284
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: To do it.

1285
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 2: To do so, I sacrificed having children because I saw

1286
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 2: that correctly raising children would be a huge time draining

1287
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 2: distraction from maximizing my talents. Okay, first of all, I

1288
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 2: agree with everything he said so far he has me. Okay,

1289
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm checking boxes right here. I feel like twenty seventeen

1290
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 2: Dan commared to twenty twenty five Dan, no contest.

1291
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: The man knows how to build a hook, not gonna lie.

1292
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: He knows how to really in.

1293
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: You might say I took on the persona of a

1294
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 2: cold blooded media killer, driven to achieve at all costs

1295
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 2: while honoring God and tithing. Is that the word I'm

1296
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 2: looking for to my church, supporting other great causes as

1297
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 2: I have over the years, and so forth, and so

1298
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 2: forth and so forth, And to that I say respect,

1299
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: absolute respect. I'm trying to understand that maybe I was,

1300
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 2: maybe I wasn't called by God to be the truth

1301
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: telling machine that I was intended to be. But I

1302
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 2: have a family and children that do command some of

1303
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: my time, as does Scottie Scheffler. Apparently he finds his

1304
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 2: family to be more important than golf, which yeah, of course,

1305
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 2: but that sort of woke me up to what I

1306
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 2: could be in the take ecosystem.

1307
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a long ways to go if we

1308
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: want to get the Skip to Skip kil I respected

1309
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: that so much. What a fiery take, yeah, called by

1310
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: God between him and Steve and A. The rest of

1311
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: us have a lot to learn when it comes to

1312
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 1: crafting a truly effective viral take.

1313
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: See the thing is about this is not a media show,

1314
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: nor will it ever be a media show. But at

1315
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 2: least you could convince me, convince me maybe that what

1316
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 2: Stephen A does is performative. I think Skip Aless is

1317
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 2: stone cold serious with every single word he says, and

1318
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 2: I think a deep issue involved therein But oh, I

1319
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 2: appreciated that so much, oh so good.

1320
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Well, on that note, none of our

1321
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: takes were quite that now, not even in the same stratosphere. Yeah,

1322
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: oh was the best, But we appreciate Josh stopping on
