1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: John Middlecalf to Renown Podcast. Just watched a little football

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: because that's what we do during the football season. And

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: the Miami Hurricanes beat the Fighting Irish and uh huh,

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of a boring game, then it kind of thrilling,

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: but big win for Mario Notre Dame. It's gonna be okay, Well,

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: we'll dive into that. I'll bring my guy Jackson on

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: and he's a big Notre Dame guy. I did a

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: reaction video and podcast yesterday to Arch Manning, meaning I

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: didn't talk about Alabama and Florida State, and I didn't

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about Clemson and LSU. So we'll touch on those

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: games tonight and just some overall theories and just thoughts

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: I had from the last twenty four hours in college football.

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: And that'll be the game plan. So hopefully everyone's had

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: a relaxing Labor Day Monday, probably not working, just enjoying yourself.

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: So I thought i'd do a little podcast on Sunday

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: night because football is back. Obviously, we got NFL games,

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: we got a lot of we got a lot of content,

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: so we are full speed ahead, and we got Bill

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: Belichick coaching again North Carolina on Monday night, So I'm

00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: sure I will do something else come Monday night, but

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560

Speaker 1: granted it was ninety percent humidity at kickoff, a little

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: humid for my taste. Michael Irvin is just soaked in sweat.

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: But if you want to go to one of these games,

33

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: the early on in some of these games could be

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: a little slow, So you just get on your phone.

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: You're just googling different guys. And I just went to

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: the Wikipedia for Mario Christobal. And in nineteen ninety eight,

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: before his coaching career really started, he had just finished playing.

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: He was GA currently at Miami. He was thinking about

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: joining the Secret Service, and he went through all the training,

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: all the testing, and he got in. He was going

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: to be a Secret Service agent. And he accepted the job,

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: and he told the team, and he told the players,

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and then he slept on it and he declined it,

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: and he went into coaching and Obviously, all these years later,

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: almost three decades, he's on an eighty million dollar contract

62
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: at his own water And there is no disputing this

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: guy is an elite recruiter. He became a star for

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: Nick Saban in the mid twenty tens. He did an

65
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: awesome job at Oregon, and you just watched the talent

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: that he has in Miami. There is no disputing his

67
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: ability to identify, recruit and land. Now, obviously that's changed

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: over the years with Nil, but he can stack a team.

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: You know, Dan Lanning the cupboard, Listen, I gotta be fair, right,

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm hard on not hard, but I just acknowledged the

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: fact that Ryan Day took over a rocket ship. So

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning, I mean that team has a lot had

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: a lot of talent when he showed up. Because Mark

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: now Candy Win, that's a different question. And last year,

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: a little like a couple of years ago with Brian Kelly,

76
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: it's like he's got cam Ward. He's got this incredible

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: offense and the defense as a joke, and there's always

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: something with his teams. One they melt down a lot,

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: and two you just watch them from a buttoned up standpoint.

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: They just don't feel that well coached relative to the

81
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: highest level of teams, and tonight was big because if

82
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: you would have told me before this game, I didn't

83
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: bet on this game because I thought it was a

84
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: coin flip. It's in Florida. Anytime you get these teams

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: that aren't from the South going to the South, it

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: was a Boise State thing. When they went to South Florida,

87
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: you're just getting I mean, there's ninety one percent of humidity.

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: It was hot as hell, So that's just going to

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: be advantage Miami. Now, toward the end of the game,

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: it looked like they were melting down again and Notre

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Dame scores. Then he scores again, and then it's tight game.

92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: You're like, is what's going on here? Is he's gonna

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: blow this game. It looked like not only was he

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: in full control, looked like he was gonna win it

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: going away, and it was just gonna be another meltdown

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: on the guy's resume. But at the end of the day,

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: like no one will remember because the guy kicks a

98
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: field goal, his defense comes through and Miami looks really

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: good and another star that kind of came out of

100
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know that much about him, but

101
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: the offensive cordon coordinator Shannon Dawson. Last year he proved

102
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: what he cam Ward was viewed as like a fifth

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: or fourth or sixth round pick, right, so the reason

104
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: at best maybe like high fourth round pick. It would

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: have been pretty shocking after Washington State if people had

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: got drafted on the second day turned him into the

107
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. And the reason guys like me

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of like the Titans this year is because of him. Well,

109
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Shannon Dawson, Like he was the offensive coordinator last year.

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm and I listen, if you watch cam Ward at

111
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Washington State, there was no disputing his physical attributes, like

112
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: he was really talented. A couple when he first got there,

113
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: You're like, this guy's from what school? Damn? Who is

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: this guy? I did not think that about Carson Beck.

115
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: It's like still about the biggest Carson Beck fan. But

116
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: he looked way better tonight with Dawson on the plays. Listen,

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: if their offense is good again, which most teams aren't

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: gonna be as good at as Notre Dame on defense

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: throughout there, you know this year on their schedule, I

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: don't see how this guy doesn't either become a head

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: coach in twenty six or NFL teams don't start offering

122
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: this guy an offensive coordinator job. So the one thing

123
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: you say about you know, Mario Crystobal, clearly he can

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: recruit and build this roster. His offensive coordinator is really

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: good back to back years, like they're gonna be potent

126
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: on offense. That little guy number ten, Tony, I mean,

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: holy shit, keep an eye on that cat for the

128
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: next couple of years. And the question marks defensively, well,

129
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: their defensive lines flying around, their dbs made plays was

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: really impressive. I mean that that was a big time

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: win for Mario. Honestly, I'm pretty impressive with Notre Dame

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: and the one thing with Marcus Freeman. There were times

133
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: tonight where I just thought, like, guys are kind of

134
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: getting worked. You look like crap. And sometimes college coaches

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: can be pretty emotional in basketball and football. They're all screaming,

136
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: like they're just always going nuts. You know. In the NFL,

137
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: assistants go nuts sometimes, but the head coach he has

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: to stay pretty even keel because the team's kind of

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: looking at him. And the good coaches in college now,

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Saban was kind of an outlier, but you kind of

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: gotta contain yourself because if you get frazzled, if you're

142
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: going nuts, your team's gonna really fall apart. And Marcus

143
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Freeman kind of had a Belichickian thing tonight and I

144
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: was like, damn, you know this guy because I was

145
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: down on him his first year when he took over

146
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: for Brian Kelly. Remember they lost to Marshall that they

147
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: should have lost a cal They just it was like

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: they just looked really, really bad. And what he's done

149
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: obviously last year even this year, that they're really the

150
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: David Shaw Jim Harbas Stanford team. They're never gonna have

151
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: elite wide receivers, can't get him into school. But in

152
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: terms of top flight defense, their defense is gonna be

153
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, Miami's probably top six or seven

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: roster in the league or in the country. But like

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna struggle to be a potent passing team. If

156
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: you notice as the night went on, like they can't

157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: really push the ball down the field beside to the

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: tight end. So the way this team's gonna have to

159
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: operate is offensive line, run the ball with two starbacks

160
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: and get the ball to your tight end and manipulate

161
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: passes to your wide receiver. But when you get down

162
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: in that situation, it can be difficult. And I just

163
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: thought he did a pretty good job of like their

164
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: team's pretty batterly tough, Like this is not some fraudulent

165
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: you know out last year being an outlier season. I

166
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: know they lost to Night, but to go down there

167
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: in the humanity to be playing like craft with a

168
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: first year quarterback, who listen, like at any time that

169
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: these guys make their first career start, I think people

170
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: are gonna be pretty critical at these big time programs,

171
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: but like, we gotta let it breathe a little bit.

172
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: We got to give the guy some time. And that's

173
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: a really, really tough opponent. But like they're always going

174
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: to struggle outside David sew and Jim Harbaugh did forever,

175
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: and they were consistently in the top five. They were

176
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: consistently competing to win the Rose Bowl, to be in

177
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the BCS, you know, to be a top three or

178
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: four team in the country. And they just never had

179
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase, Like Ceedee Lamb's not going

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: to school at Notre Dame, so you've got to be

181
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: buttoned up on defense, which they're gonna be under Barcus Freeman.

182
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: But tonight he saw, especially toward the end of the game,

183
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: that last drive, it looked like their tackles were gassed.

184
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean that right tackle got embarrassed, you know, I

185
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: mean he got it was bad. Now was he just

186
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, sucking wind? As Jimmy Johnson famously said to

187
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: the Miami Hurricanes way back in the day, fatigue makes

188
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: cowards of us all. And his big thing was always

189
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: being the best shape, because the moment you get tired,

190
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: you could be David Goggins, you could be Chuck Lydell,

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: or you could be me or you you're just not as

192
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: tough and you're definitely not as mentally tough. And you

193
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: just saw that right tackle. It looked like he was gassed.

194
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: And this is what Stanford hung their hand on. Their

195
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: offensive lines were elite. So if Notre Dame's gonna want

196
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: to compete and get back to the National Championship and

197
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: just have a team that can win playoff games, because

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: we know, I guess this year the seating has changed

199
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: a little bit. They got to button up that offensive line,

200
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to win with their running backs

201
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: and tight ends because as we saw last year. You know,

202
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver is gonna be a little issue. I did

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: want to bring in my guy Jackson, who I know,

204
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: the biggest Notre Dame fan I know, probably beside Lou Holtz. Listen,

205
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: last year you play Texas A and M you you

206
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: get a big win. Now, granted you were playing a

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who barely could walk straight and chew gum. But

208
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: you know this year, you know, down big, but come

209
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: storming back. It's weird. You know. You know in college

210
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: now with the playoff, you're not out of it just

211
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: because you lose a game. And I would say that

212
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: for Clemson obviously Texas. This isn't twenty fourteen, this isn't

213
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. You don't have to run the

214
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: table like you can, especially with your guys schedule this year,

215
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: unlike last year, you can afford to lose a couple

216
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: of games. But where do you stay at Jackson, what

217
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: do you think of the quarterback? I know you were

218
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: hard on the offensive coordinator throwing those quick screens, but

219
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: you don't exactly have Randy Moss out there. Yeah, you

220
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: know the quick screens.

221
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: And then you know we kept texting our group chat

222
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: it was like, when is you know, Jeremiah Love gonna

223
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: get involved. He only had ten carries and CJ. Carr

224
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: actually had more carries than he did, which was kind

225
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: of surprising. And you know twenty four Jerion Price comes in.

226
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: He's kind of that in between the tackles downhill runner

227
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: just to get some kind of momentum.

228
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: But I thought CJ. Carr played well.

229
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean, with all the new quarterbacks that we saw

230
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: this weekend, Tys Simpson Julian saying arch Manning like one

231
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: thing that I mean you know too, like the young

232
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: quarterbacks is the confidence between behind their arm. And you

233
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: saw him rolling back and it almost got me flashbacks

234
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: from Shandor Sanders in preseason. You're like, oh my gosh,

235
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: he's on the thirty yard line. Makes that throw. The

236
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: momentum switch over to Notre Dame. A couple of fluke plays,

237
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the fumbles and then the interception off of

238
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: that guy's foot is something that's just gonna roll their way.

239
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: But you talked about it.

240
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean, Notre Dame's a tough team under Marcus Freeman,

241
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: and this was Brian Kelly what he's got now and

242
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: them beating Clemson with all these transfers and you know,

243
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback, they probably don't.

244
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: Win that game.

245
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: And you we were even texting in the group chat too,

246
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: like these are the games that Mario Christobal loses. And

247
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: maybe it's this year with Dawson and the defensive coordinator

248
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: they got from Minnesota where he kind of just takes

249
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: a step back and lets them coach. And like you said,

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: they went out and recruited Tony's a stud up front.

251
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: I didn't expect Miami to out physical Notre Dame on

252
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: both sides of the football up front. And you're talking

253
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: about the heat being a factor, but yeah, I mean

254
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame fought. Like you said, it's it's

255
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: a one It's not a one game season for Notre Dame.

256
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: You got a bye week and then you play a

257
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: and m It's not the worst thing ever. We see

258
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame after losing the NIU bounce back and end

259
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: up making the National Championship. It is gonna be interesting

260
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: how it plays out. And if this game could have

261
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: been twenty eight to seven, it could have been over.

262
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: It felt like it was teetering there for a meet. Yeah,

263
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: it was a running back yeah, running back slips. But

264
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm curious your thoughts about CJ.

265
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: Carr.

266
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: I think he played good. It's it's just the last drive.

267
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: You see the freshman in him. You can't take a sack.

268
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: And like you said, the tackles, I mean they were gassing,

269
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: baying the ruined bay, and Miami's defender of their best

270
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: defensive line showed up last. But overall, I was shocked

271
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: that Notre Dame through the ball thirty times. But maybe

272
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: this is something that will benefit him in.

273
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: The long run. Well, when you're down, you know, twenty

274
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: one to seven, especially in the fourth quarter, you gotta score.

275
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: So I you know, if we look how many times

276
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: they passed the ball in those last couple drives, it

277
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: probably inflated it to what it would have been if

278
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: the score was fourteen to fourteen, right, so they had

279
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: to get away from the run, but they were throwing

280
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: the ball then to the running back, you know, countless times.

281
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: This is my comparison though to the Stanford teams. Sometimes

282
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to judge the quarterback. Let's use Carson Beck

283
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: as an example, who I was probably too hard on,

284
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: as was everyone last year. Disastrous season. But the offensive

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: line was and they had lost Bowers and they had

286
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: lost Latin Maconky. So unless you're Mahomes or Josh Allen,

287
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: if I remove those two guys, you're gonna look worse, right,

288
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: dramatically worse. And he looked really bad. Well then tonight.

289
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, one thing Miami's always been able to do

290
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: is like they get skill guys, right, and Mario's good

291
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: at that. So you bring in this true freshman Tony

292
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: that obviously is gonna probably be a freshman All American.

293
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: I always put money on that if he's healthy. I mean,

294
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: you just saw they never took that guy off the field,

295
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: like he's just part of their group and they're playing. Listen.

296
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: I think it's stupid that you can play a nobody

297
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: like Penn State's really good, right, some of these teams

298
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: are really good, Georgia, when you play the Sisters of

299
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: the Poor, I don't know how to judge you with

300
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: your current team. I know you're good, but like I

301
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: know way more about Texas in a loss or Clemson

302
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: in a loss, like this was a real game, like

303
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: a real game, and so when you treat usually these

304
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Mario is like I wonder if he learned a lot

305
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: from Sabin, Like sometimes when you got a blue chipper

306
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: and he's ready, you just got to play. And they

307
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: were just riding that kid. But on my point is

308
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Carson looked a lot better and he just pushed the

309
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: ball down the field more like you guys just are

310
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: only gonna push the ball down the field if the

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: tight ends wide open. And that's that was a little

312
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: like Penn State last year. Now Penn State because of

313
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: academic like they can get guys in. We'll see what

314
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: their unit looks like the better teams they play. But

315
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: like you're just not gonna have NFL star receivers outside

316
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: like Miami, like Texas and Ohio State, and some of

317
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: these teams are gonna get and that's gonna be your

318
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: downfall because there are gonna be times. Who knows, maybe

319
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Miami's like a final fourteen this year. I think that's

320
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: possible that if you do get down fourteen to nothing

321
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: or in the second half, like these games not this

322
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: isn't Texas Tech first, Washington State, that every game is

323
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna be fifty to forty. It's kind of is nice

324
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it a lot this last forty eight

325
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: hours of just seeing physical ass football and it was hard,

326
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Like these dbs are making plays. The d lin's all hitting,

327
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: and you do need your wide receivers though, like to

328
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: run it. I don't know, like a ten yard out

329
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: or something, and I just don't have that much faith

330
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: in Notre Dame at that position. And that could be

331
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: like if they were more explosive, if I just gave

332
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: them a top ten type college wide receiver, you would

333
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: feel the team would feel a lot more balanced. So

334
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the moment the defense isn't dominating, they do feel like

335
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: they're up against the ropes a little bit because you

336
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: thought Tony and again it could have just been probably

337
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: was the heat was insane. But if their defense isn't

338
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: dominating the game last year against Ohio State, right, if

339
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: you're losing a little bit, it's like, how are they

340
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna come back? And that's how I love who clears

341
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: these an elite player saying, is it Price number twenty four?

342
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: Darien Price? Like you just you're not just gonna unless

343
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: you're Kyle Shanahan, just keep calling runs down twenty one

344
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: to seven. Right, You're gonna have to throw the ball

345
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: a little bit and then they can kind of tee off.

346
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: So that's just not how I would imagine Marcus is

347
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: talking as we record this, but he's like, we can't

348
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: get down double digits, Like that's not how we're built,

349
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's just true like LSU the last couple years,

350
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Miami last year, like they could get down fifteen points.

351
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: Remember Caw they were down like thirty to ten. It's

352
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: like whatever, we'll just start slinging around. But that's not

353
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be Notre Dame's ultimate downfall. I don't really

354
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: know how they changed that unless it's like, you know what,

355
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a couple exceptions. It's gonna be specifically

356
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: toward wide receivers. I do think they.

357
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: Showed some flashes of potentially throwing the football. I mean

358
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: they had that Malachi Feels number zero had that crazy catch.

359
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: He's the Virginia sixty five wide receiver they got. Obviously

360
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: the tight end had that sixty five yard but besides that,

361
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: they didn't really have any explosive plays. And even Jaden

362
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Greyhouse tonight, the guy that went off the National Championship

363
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: when they were down against Ohio State, that kind of

364
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: got him back into that game. He was quiet tonight,

365
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: So I'm not I get what you mean in terms of,

366
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: like we had an expect CJ. Card to run a

367
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: ball eleven times. This is the guy who supposed to

368
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: be a pocket passer, pass first quarterback. But you did

369
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: see some flashes and what they did in the offseason

370
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: where I'm kind of like, okay, let's hold off a

371
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: little bit on them being maybe a run first team.

372
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 2: I know you have Jeremiah Love and Price, but I

373
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: did think you did see some flashes for a true

374
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: fresh or a red shirt freshman. I should say, with

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: the wide receiver they have on the outside that they

376
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: could be two dimensional. And if they are, then they

377
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: could be a problem. But it all starts with the

378
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: offensive line that got beat up, and they could run

379
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 2: the ball early, which kind of got him in that

380
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: hole to begin with.

381
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: Could also make the argument, you know, kind of a freak.

382
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean they ran the play over and over, the

383
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: quick screen that turned into a turnover that then turned

384
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: into a touchdown. But also the CJ. Daniels the one

385
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: handed catch. If he doesn't make I don't know, like

386
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, Odell Beckham justin Jefferson like grab that's intercepted.

387
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't think a Georgia receiver catches that again on

388
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: his feet and he's going I don't know if he

389
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, but he was gonna land on his

390
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: feet with the ball in his bread basket. And the

391
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: guy just made an incredible catch. So Georgia did hit

392
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: a couple. I mean, Carson had some Yolow throws today

393
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: that that landed. Now he is playing like they got

394
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: a lot more talent on that team right outside. I

395
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: actually think it's not. But I have no problem when

396
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: you lose a close game to a team that's clearly good.

397
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: And that's the great part about this, this playoff, right

398
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: is that it's a little more NFL. You know this

399
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: notion all the games aren't gonna matter as much. Bullshit. Yeah,

400
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: like when Alabama plays Mercer, no one's gonna care. They

401
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: didn't care when Nick Saban was there. But this, I

402
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: bet Notre Dame's devastated in the locker room right now.

403
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: Clemson was devastating in the locker room right now. Texas

404
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: is devastating in the locker room right now. They all

405
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: could easily make the playoffs, and it's it's football. Just

406
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: like if the Cowboys get their ass kicked in a

407
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: couple nights. It's gonna suck for them. Like football, you

408
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: only play so many games. So I actually think it's

409
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: that that notion of that, like this game felt really big.

410
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: All these games, right, all the four straight big games. Sorry, Shane,

411
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm not counting Syracuse, Tennessee, even though that in theory

412
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: decent game, that's better game than most. But the morning

413
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: game Ohio State, Texas, Florida State, Alabama now assuming that

414
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Florida's APEC, which I think they easily could be, and

415
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: then the night game LSU Clemson, and then this game,

416
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: you could even say a little bit South Carolina Virginia Tech.

417
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Now quick grant the neutral site games. If

418
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Josh Pate ever becomes the commissioner someone, we got to

419
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: ban those. I listen bowl games. I totally understand the

420
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: conference championship games. But what made tonight so badass is

421
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: about like, oh Miami's like kind of has a home

422
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: field thing going, obviously Clemson, obviously Ohio State. Like that's

423
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: that's what college football is. The NFL is not as

424
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: much about that. The NFL is more about the crowd

425
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: beside three or four places. But in college football, like

426
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Iowa let alone, you know, just you go all round,

427
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: all the power forwards. Like playing at home is a

428
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: really big deal. Winning on the road in college is

429
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: insanely hard. Right. I don't even know what Nussmeyer stats are.

430
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. I watched him. He was awesome. You

431
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to win there? Right, It's

432
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: just like it was it was Listen, Alabama might turn

433
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: out to be eight and four, right, but like that's

434
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: a hard place to go when they start doing the

435
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Tomahawk chock chop and that fucking place is rocking. These

436
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: neutral site playing at the Mercedes Benz, that sucks for

437
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: the fans. I thought this day before I left Hawaii.

438
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: When Nebraska is playing Cincinnati at Arrowhead, I mean, it's

439
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: cool that Mahomes and Kelsey get to go, but that

440
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: sucks for Nebraska Cincinnati that loses a home game. I

441
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: mean that's what college football is for the twelve games,

442
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: the home and away games really really matter. And just

443
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: if that game would have been at Notre Dame, it

444
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: would have been a huge evans for Notre Dame. That's

445
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: one thing. You got a factory in college. But yeah,

446
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be that down. If I were you, I'd

447
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: still be pretty bullish on the squad.

448
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: The last thing I'll say, the perspective on the ACC

449
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: after this weekend. You know, if Clemson goes down and

450
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: beats LSU, it's probably even a bigger perspective on the conference.

451
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: But you looked at Florida State different, you look at

452
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: Miami different. Miami has to go to Florida State in

453
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: about three or four weeks. Florida State has to play

454
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: Clemson and Miami. That conference looks a little interesting.

455
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: Now.

456
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 2: Now you start to look back and you say, okay,

457
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: if they could potentially get two bids or what happens

458
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: with the Big twelve, Like if you're the AEC Commission,

459
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: you gotta be smiling ear to year and what you

460
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: saw from both those squads because like myself, you didn't

461
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: know what Mario Christball was gonna produce out there. And

462
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: then Florida State, everybody counted out. That conference has got interesting.

463
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: Like Clemson, I picked them to win the national championship.

464
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people picked them in the ACC.

465
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: If they can't run the football and they can't get

466
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: things around, like I mean, Miami, Florida State definitely looked

467
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: a lot more impressive than Clemson did this weekend.

468
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: If you just base it on the games itself, I

469
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: would say, remember last year Clemson got curb stomp by

470
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: Georgia week and then by the end of the year

471
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: they were really good. So I think they'll still be okay.

472
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I actually think their loss you feel better than Texas

473
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: because I thought cleb Nick wasn't that bad. You know

474
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: where Texas there's still a lot of question marks with Arch,

475
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: But how about cal They got like Tua two point

476
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: zero meets Michael Pennix, who looks really good. We'll see Belichick.

477
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: But listen, I don't not saying they're ten win team,

478
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: but they Bill freaking Belichick coaching, and they're not gonna suck.

479
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough on a weekly basis. I do

480
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: think it's insane they played Monday night, they have to

481
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: play next Saturday. How's that You can't give him like

482
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: a buy and that's crazy Bill O'Brien at Boston College.

483
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: The ACC is definitely gonna be solid. I think the

484
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: Big twelve to me clearly looks like the fourth Conference,

485
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: like a clear drop off. Though we'll see Utah Utah

486
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: is definitely a team that if you told me Utah

487
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: win eleven and one wins the Big twelve and then

488
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: like wins a playoff game, whether it's on the road

489
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: or at home, very believable. I mean a couple of

490
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: years ago, he was dominating the Pac twelve. When the

491
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Pac twelve is good, right with Mario with debor with

492
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning. You know he'd beat both those guys, like

493
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: he's he's a big time coach if he's got a quarterback.

494
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but I was listening stuff today

495
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: that they had stolen the new Mexico quarterback and their OC.

496
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: I love it when teams do this now package deal,

497
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: give me the play caller and the quarterback and the

498
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: play callers, Like it's like the dude from Washington State

499
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: of course you want the quarterback with the play callers,

500
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Like wait, I get to go to the sweet school

501
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: too for double my money, Like I'm in. It's so funny.

502
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: And that team too lot.

503
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: I know people would recognize when you're watching the UCLA game,

504
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: and I know people on the East Coast it kind

505
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: of felt like Pack twelve after dark because you got Utah,

506
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: Ucla got Oregon State. Cal Utah had three players playing

507
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: two ways and two guys that scored their best corner

508
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: and their best linebackers.

509
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see a snap of that game. I just

510
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: knew I just want followed on my phone. I kind

511
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: of had to look look out, lookout for Utah. I

512
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: mean damp here.

513
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: I mean two hundred and thirty yards three hundred of

514
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: total yards. They ran the ball down ULA's throw. Nico

515
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: I Maliava like he probably regrets go to UCLA, and

516
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: I think Joey Aguilar for him. I mean, if Nico

517
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: doesn't go to UCLA, there's no chance he goes to Tennessee.

518
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: And now you look at Tennessee a little different. And

519
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: I know Syracuse defense isn't that great, but I don't know.

520
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot of teams last night and that, Like

521
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: you said, it's tough to judg the Penn States, the

522
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: Georgia's and the Oregons who have to play Montana State,

523
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: but some of these other teams who got to play,

524
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: you know, other Big ten schools. It gets you get

525
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: a different perspective on those kind of teams and see

526
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: what they can do later on the season.

527
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: Okay, you got I'll get you out of here on this.

528
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: Which what were you thinking before the season, What are

529
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: you thinking right now? Because this is a big game, right,

530
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: you win this game? You worst case you're ten and two,

531
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: you lose this game. You know. Now there's more pressure

532
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: on these kind of swing games. You kind of gotta win.

533
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Get you're playing A and M still right.

534
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I must win. Yeah, I think A M is

535
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: gonna be must win. You wonder what the involvement is

536
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: gonna be with Love in that next game. I think

537
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: den Brock probably regrets not implementing him more in the

538
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 2: first half and maybe calling a couple more screenplays.

539
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: But who do they play this week? Bye week? Bye week? Yeah?

540
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: Okay, they got that second week by which is nice

541
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame. I mean after a loss like this.

542
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: I think when they played NIU they had a bye

543
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: week after that too. So, like like you said, Notre

544
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: Dame with Marcus Freeman, I have no heartburn on them.

545
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: It does think that Boise State Austin USF because you

546
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: look down the schedule, like the more ranked games the

547
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: better for Notre Dame, because yeah, it's not a one

548
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: game season, but you do have to have some ranked

549
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: wins on your schedule, like an A and M win

550
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: which they played Texas and they got some of those more.

551
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: That's the difference though, is than they've changed the when

552
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: they talked about the schedule. If you just watch Notre

553
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: Dames a real team test and like, to me, if

554
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's ten and two and there's some fraudulent power

555
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: for team that played nobody, Like I'm sorry, we saw

556
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: that song and dance last year. We're giving like Notre

557
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: Dame Texas, this clems. This is exactly what I'm talking about, Like,

558
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: we just saw they were real teams. So like, if

559
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: it's the difference of like one of them's nine and

560
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: three and the other team's ten and two but they

561
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: played nobody, that's where I think I'm more confident that,

562
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: like we picked the right team and they still got

563
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: to play well. They can't lose a bunch of games.

564
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: But this is not a bad thing. I guess this

565
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: is my overall take. But you gotta go ten and two,

566
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: nine and three Notre Dames probably not in right.

567
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: You get one more loss, Yeah, and you wonder what

568
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: the SEC looks like too, I mean the SEC du

569
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: does a three loss team get in over a two

570
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: loss Notre Dame, and then you kind of got to

571
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: compare the big twelve in the ACC. That's where it's

572
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting moving forward.

573
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: How they do.

574
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: I know, the SEC has a whole agreement where they've

575
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: got to go play another power for conference team in

576
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: their schedule, that's the thing. And they have this whole

577
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: new metric of strength to record. But we'll see tough

578
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: loss for Notre Dame, but they fought back.

579
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks checks. Speaking of the SEC, let's just start

580
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: with Alabama because I've been a big proponent of Kaylin Dubor. Obviously,

581
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: he was a Frozen State guy and had success and

582
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: then went to Washington and dominated. I mean, this guy

583
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: was beating everybody and beat Sarkin, was in the National

584
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: Championship game, did a fantastic job, became the type candidate

585
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: that you not only seriously consider when a guy like

586
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Nick Saban retires, you hire a real higher I know

587
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like retweeting cowards tweet about

588
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: it being one of the best transitions in college football history.

589
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Wasn't a crazy thought at the time. Dubor's record was like,

590
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: I forget off the top of my head but it

591
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and eleven. I mean, he dominated

592
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: it everywhere he coached. I do believe this. I've always

593
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: had a theory and I stand by this, and I

594
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: think there are only a couple outlies, outliers in the

595
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: history of college football. Where in the NFL, it doesn't

596
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: matter where you are from, where you were born, and

597
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: where your career kind of takes off usually is where

598
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna have success as a head coach. There are outliers,

599
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: like a guy from the Midwest can go to the South,

600
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: like Urban Meyer could have coached in China, in Spain,

601
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: in Alaska, in Florida. It wouldn't have mattered. He would

602
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: have won same thing with Nick Saban. But I saw

603
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: it out here on the West coast. Chris Peterson, who

604
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: had a ton of success at Boise State and then Washington,

605
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: grew up in southern California, went to UC Davis, coached

606
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: at UC Davis, coached at Oregon, coached at Boise, coached

607
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: at Washington, thrived on the West coast. Pete Carroll is

608
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: a great example. Well in the NFL, he could coach

609
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: any team, Tampa Bay, New England, Seattle. It wouldn't in college.

610
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: It does. I don't think Pete Carroll would have worked

611
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: at Florida. I don't think he would have worked at Alabama,

612
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: but he thrived at USC just like I don't think

613
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot of non Southerners work in the South. When

614
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: I was at Fresno State, Jim mcelwaine had just left

615
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: and his close friend Doug Nussmeyer my first year at

616
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: Fresno State was our offensive coordinator and Garrett. I remember

617
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: him having a little Garrett must have been like two

618
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: or three years old, five years old at Max. He

619
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: was really really young. But those guys are West Coast guys.

620
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: And Jim mckawayan coached at Colorado State, had a bunch

621
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: of success and then went to Florida and it was

622
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: a disaster. Why because he's not one of theirs, Like

623
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: I kind of like your name to be Kirby or

624
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: Dabbo and have a Southern draw. In the South, it matters,

625
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: just like in the Midwest. You know, Jim Harbaugh played

626
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: at Michigan. It really helped when he took over the program.

627
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: And I just think this Kaylin Duboor thing, is he

628
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: as bad as is going right now? I don't think

629
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: he is. I don't know what's going on. They're five

630
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: and five in their last ten games. But Nick Saban

631
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: was a hard ass, like an old school throwback asshole

632
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: when it came to being a coach, and everyone in

633
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: the program, players, staff, administration kind of ate that shit up.

634
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: They liked him to tell them what to do. When

635
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: he said jump, they said how high, and then they

636
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't stop leaping till he said stop. And it worked

637
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: and everyone profited, the players, the administration, the school, the

638
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: SEC as a whole. Do you know how many people

639
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I know from northern California didn't now send their kids

640
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss, to Tennessee, to Florida, did go to

641
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: school in the South. That was unheard of when I

642
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: was in high school. I remember being kind of nervous,

643
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: like should I even entertain going to Oregon or Arizona.

644
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: I encount more than probably almost both hands, the amount

645
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: of family friends I know that either their kids or

646
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: their kids girlfriends or whatever went to school in the SEC.

647
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: That a big part of that was how popular the

648
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: SEC came with their football programs. I believe that to

649
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: my core, and like Nick Saban obviously was the flag

650
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: bearer for that movement, and Kaylin Duboor is kind of

651
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: an intellectual. He's not a screamer. A couple of years ago,

652
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: when Fresno State was playing ASU, I went to the

653
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: tailgate and me and Marie ended up going to the

654
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: game and hanging out with a bunch of President State guys,

655
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: former players, and I was talking with with one of

656
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: the former players on the team that had played for

657
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Debor and was an offensive player and really liked him,

658
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: And I said, what was he like? Because he had

659
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: played for both him and Jeff Tedford, He's like, Tedford's

660
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot different and Teedford's a West Coast guy as well,

661
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: played at Fresno State from Los Angeles coach at Oregon

662
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: coach to cal like that's that's where his region is.

663
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: But Tedford's kind of an old school asshole, you know,

664
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of a throwback the bores, like a cerebral not

665
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: a yeller, not a screamer like Chris Peterson. So when

666
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: he took over the University of Washington, that administration was

667
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: used to like an intellectual. I'm not saying that Saban

668
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: is not, but in terms of that's the way he

669
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: interacts googled Nick Saban or YouTube him at practice. He

670
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: screams at everybody I know, people that have worked for him.

671
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: You go into those staff meetings, your head was on

672
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: a swivel and you were dialed in because shrapnel could

673
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: come from any angle. That's not who this guy is.

674
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: And I wonder if these players whatever, they're not reacting

675
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: because it's not really working. I mean, they got their

676
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: ass kicked yesterday. Now when I see the staff that

677
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: Alabama hadn't lost to, I think it's like he's already

678
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: lost a four unranked opponents. Nick Saban lost to four

679
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: unranked opponents in like seventeen years. Week one in the

680
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: transfer Portal era, Like Florida State could be the seventh

681
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: best team in the country or they could be two

682
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: and ten. We have no clue beside three or four teams.

683
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: Like we know Penn State, we know how State, we

684
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: know Texas, we know Georgia. But Utah Utah could be

685
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: the seventh best team in the country or they could

686
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: be like the fiftieth. We don't know. Times have changed.

687
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: Here's what I know about Florida State and Mike Norvel,

688
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: specifically that two years ago on this weekend, he played

689
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly pretty sure on Sunday Night, beat the living

690
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: piss out of them. Brian Kelly's team was led by

691
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, Malika Neighbors and Brian Thomas Junior and Mike

692
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: Norvelle curb stomped them. Oh yeah. He happened to have

693
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: about seven or eight guys that were drafted in the

694
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: top one hundred. Jared Verse, many considered one of the

695
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: best young defensive line. Oh yeah, his teammate Brayden Fisk,

696
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: who statistically was better than him last year, who's a stud.

697
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, who I don't know is a starting wide

698
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: receiver for the Bills that most consider one of, if

699
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: not the best team in the league. Ronardo Green, who's

700
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: a starting corner for the San Francisco forty nine ers,

701
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: Like his team was loaded and then last year? What if?

702
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: Last year was an outliar to inten he's a big

703
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: transfer portal guy. It didn't work because I watched his team.

704
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: I went, they're fast, they're physical, they're explosive, and Mike

705
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: Norvell's proven a couple of years ago. Beat Brian Kelly,

706
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: beat Dabos Sweeney, beat Mike Elko, who's now the coach

707
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: at Texas A and m went thirteen to zero, ran

708
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: the table, won the ACC and if it wasn't for

709
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: his quarterback basically getting his leg amputated. I think Jordan

710
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: Travis legitimately retired with the New York Jets because his

711
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: legs all screwed up, that they would have made the playoffs,

712
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: and who knows that team was built, like they could

713
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: have won the national Championship if Jordan Travis was playing.

714
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: But this guy's not some random scrub, honestly, Like part

715
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: of the reason I have so much respect for du Boris.

716
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: I saw what he did at Washington in a second

717
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: year there. They went to the Natty. That could have

718
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: been easily Mike Norvel if it wasn't for these weird

719
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: circumstance with his quarterback. So I think everyone is right

720
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: enough Mike Norvell, and maybe I bought into it too,

721
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: like he just had a weird year in the transfer portal.

722
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: He's a transfer portal guy, and sometimes teams aren't gonna

723
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: mesh and sometimes they are. That was a really, really

724
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: impressive win. But what I think Mike Norvell, like, yeah,

725
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like he fits in in the South.

726
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Kaylin Duboor doesn't really just like Lincoln Riley, does he

727
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: feel like La No, he doesn't to me. Now, maybe

728
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: his team's good enough, and maybe with NIL they can

729
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: recruit well enough. But I'm a huge believer that regions

730
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: in college football matter. Andy Reid could coach, the Patriots

731
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: could coach, the Rams could coach Chiefs. The NFL does

732
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: not matter in college it does. It's why listen. There's

733
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: no disputing what Brian Kelly did at Notre Dame was impressive.

734
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: If you look at Brian Kelly's resume, it is impressive.

735
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: He's won everywhere he went. Grand Valley State. I was

736
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: in my first year, second year. I think it might

737
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: have been my second year as a GA at President State.

738
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: We went to the University of Cincinnati Nippert Stadium. I'm

739
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: pretty sure Jason Kelcey might have been like a true

740
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: freshman on that team. They had Tony Pike. I think

741
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: their quarterback was Gilliard, this wide receiver that was drafted

742
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: the Rams. That team went undefeated. They went to a

743
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: BCS Bowl game. Now he left for Notre Dame if

744
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: you remember, and they ended up getting killed. I think

745
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow's team played him and they destroyed him, but

746
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly left. I remember thinking like this, this team's good.

747
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: This guy knows what he's doing. Now when he went

748
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: to the South and he faked the accident, like, I

749
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna work. He's a little douchey,

750
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: but there's no disputing like he kind of knows what

751
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: he's doing, and offensively is not his problem. They always

752
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: had sweet offensive line, and they always had good running backs.

753
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: He clearly good at quarterbacks at LSU. Wide receivers are

754
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: never gonna be a problem at LSU. The question is

755
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a defense. Well, the thing at these schools

756
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: they will give you unlimited cash to buy coaches and

757
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: LSU like he went and got h what's the guy's name,

758
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: Blake Baker who's wearing the LSU baseball hat. Last year,

759
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: they clearly had improved from Jayden Daniels season. This year

760
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: they looked real. I mean, defensive line wise, they were

761
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: flying around up front, they were working Clemson. The defensive

762
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: backs were making play after play. And this is the

763
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: thing with doing these preseason rankings, it's like, yeah, you

764
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: could have convinced me LSU's an eight and fourteen, or

765
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: you could convince me they were eleven to one, and

766
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this guy number four, he's this transfer

767
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: portal guy from Virginia Tech and he looks like Patrick

768
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: Peterson out there. And that's why it's so hard. I

769
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: heard someone say this today. I forget where. But like

770
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, pre transfer portal, if you

771
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: went to inten at Florida State what Mike Norvel just did,

772
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: it would have taken you years to turn that thing

773
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: around to get to like compete for nine ten wins.

774
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: Years Now, it's like you could do it in six months.

775
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: If you told me that Florida State's ten and two

776
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: or eleven to one and wins, the acc wouldn't be

777
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: shocking at all, wouldn't be shocking at all. So the

778
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: game has really really changed. It's about getting the right

779
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: couple players and at schools like LSU, Clemson, definitely, Ohio State,

780
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: Florida State, or I mean Texas, we're talking like three

781
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: or four guys swing the whole thing. Last year, what

782
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: happened with Ohio State. They got Caleb Downs, who's one

783
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: of the best players, not the best player in the country.

784
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: They got Will Howard, who down the stretch was incredible.

785
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: So if you hit on the right two or three players.

786
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if Miami last year hadn't signed cam Ward

787
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: and it signed like an average quarterback, they're going like

788
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: five and seven or six and six. But they had

789
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft, one of the

790
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 1: worst defenses in the country, and they went nine to three.

791
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: So the transfer portal is this unless you're living in it,

792
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: like a college football GM. We're all just taking educated guesses.

793
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: We don't really know. We think we kind of know,

794
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: and we have some idea, but there are huge swings

795
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: with individuals, and like, let's face it, I was thinking,

796
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: I was on the couch and Maria looks at me

797
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: last night watching LSU Clemson. She goes, who would you draft? Like,

798
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: what do you mean? She's like, who'd you draft? I

799
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't even know half these kids are.

800
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: She's like, you should do a segment on that. And

801
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, a segment on who I draft.

802
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, call it like the couch scout. Honestly, honey,

803
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: that's not a bad idea. And I was thinking, like

804
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there watching these two quarterbacks, Garrett nus Meyer, who,

805
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: like I said, I've known Doug nuss Meyer for fifteen years.

806
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: I saw him at the Combine two years ago walking

807
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: down the hall. I love that guy. I absolutely I

808
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: have loved Doug. He's the man. He's always been a

809
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: huge supporter of me, loves the podcast. Always gets a

810
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: huge smile when he sees me. And he's walking with

811
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: Brent Seleek. This is when he was the quarterback coach

812
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: for the Eagles the year they I mean, he's had

813
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: an awesome little run here when the Super Bowl with

814
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts as the quarterback coach, then goes with Kellen

815
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: to New Orleans. That's his guy, and then his son

816
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: like that was and I guess the couch scout in

817
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: me goes listen, Garrett Nessmyer's good and obviously he showed

818
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: flashes last year, had some great moments and had some

819
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: down moments. That performance on the road. You know, some

820
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks are playing nobody's and average teams, non

821
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: like power forward teams. I don't even know what to

822
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: make of it. Like that was a real opponent on

823
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: the road. You probably can't hear yourself think this guy

824
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: Garrett got crushed time and time again, and he kept

825
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: getting up. It's like, this guy's tough, sob he's making

826
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: great throws, but he's kind of a throwback quarterback. You know,

827
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: he's not mister athletic to me, he kind of has

828
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: like and I'm talking the good versions of these guys.

829
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: What Jimmy Garoppolo was early on in his San Francisco career.

830
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: I would call him mobile, but he definitely could move

831
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. And like Kirk Cousins, he's more mobile

832
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: than Kirk Cousins. But he's that style of player. But

833
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: he's really good in the pocket. He's really tough. He

834
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: will sit in there and make throws. The guys really

835
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: like him. I mean, that's an NFL quarterback. Now, how

836
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: high a ceiling is, Like, I'm not I'm not saying

837
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow. But he's a

838
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: really good player. And that was a really impressive game.

839
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: It's why you can't box score scout because didn't throw

840
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, but every single big play they needed, he

841
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: was on the money. Every time he got knocked down,

842
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: he'd fucking shake it off and jump right back up. Honestly,

843
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: I was impressed with Kate Clubnick as well, And to me,

844
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: like this is gonna sound a little I think he's

845
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of got some brock purty vibes, athletic not I

846
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't call him a runner. He's not Lamar or Kayler,

847
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: but he definitely can move, definitely a good playmaker, also

848
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: pretty tough. And his offensive line I thought kind of

849
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: under achieved last night getting rocked by LSU. I mean

850
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: I thought LSU and Florida State dominated the line of

851
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage on defense. I would say the same thing for

852
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: Miami tonight. They were dominating the line of scrimmage. And

853
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: you can tell you like, God, that guy looks like

854
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: an NFL defensive end. God, that guy looks like an

855
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: NFL defensive end. That really is the difference. If you

856
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: get good quarterback play and then good defensive line play,

857
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a chance to win the national championship.

858
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: So I was really impressed. To me, ness Meyer kind

859
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: of gives off cousins Jimmy Garoppolo vibes. I would say,

860
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: kid gives maybe a little more athletic party, but like

861
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: just just a good player. And I have no problem

862
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: like I said, the neutral site games need to go away,

863
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: because I wish we could get to the point where

864
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: we don't even play these meaningless games. And I know

865
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: Coward's high on USC because they beat Missouri State Western Eastern.

866
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: Like that game's not real to me, Like that's just

867
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: my guy Haveberman was calling it. So I was watching it,

868
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: but it was like, this is this is a massacre.

869
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: What do I even take away? Then you watch Texas

870
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: and Ohio State or Clemson and LSU or Notre Dame

871
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: in Miami. It's like their NFL players all over this field,

872
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: like this is real football. This is what we want

873
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: to watch. It's just fantastic TV. And the one thing

874
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to end on big win by I mean

875
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: awesome for Mike Norvia. Well, listen, gotta give Brian Kelly

876
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: his flowers. Gotta give Mario's flowers. Some of these coaches

877
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: that were like some people are like domn this notion too.

878
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: The guys are on the hot seat. Kaylan Dubor is

879
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: not getting fired. I've seen different numbers, but the buy

880
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: out this year is between sixty and seventy million dollars.

881
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: He could go four and eight. They do not have

882
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: the money to give Kaylan Dubor sixty five million dollars

883
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: to go away, to pay a roster twenty to thirty

884
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: million dollars to feel a high end team. Well, if

885
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: they're fired Kaylin Dubor, who do you think they're gonna

886
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: hire me or you for one hundred grand. No, they're

887
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: gonna want some sweet coach ten million dollar coach. That

888
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: means you gotta give him ninety million. You gotta pay

889
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: his coordinators multimillions. Alabama is not Notre Dame, It's not

890
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: USS Texas. These their athletic director a year ago was

891
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter begging for money the day and age of

892
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: paying like Jimbo Fisher that those days are done and

893
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: Texa a m has way more money. They could pull

894
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: it off. Alabama cannot. There is no paying. When I

895
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: see these people like reputable college football media being like,

896
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: I wonder could they fire him for John grud Kaylen

897
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: Bor is not getting bought out. The Alabama cannot afford

898
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: to do that. It is not happening now. Could get

899
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: really ugly, And I get why they'd be really mad

900
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: because you're coming from Nick Saban. You know, if you're

901
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: dating a supermodel in her prime and then all of

902
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like you're dating some ugly chick. It's

903
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: gonna suck. And if you're starting losing games and you're

904
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: used to kicking everyone's ass, it's not gonna be fun.

905
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: But there's no these fifty sixty seventy billion dollar buyouts

906
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: when you're paying the players. Now, those days are done

907
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: unless you have some t Boon Pickings or Phil Knight

908
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: that just give you here's one hundred million dollar check

909
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: to buy a guy out, to buy the new guy

910
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: and pay the player. I don't know who's doing that.

911
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen. I really don't. So, yeah,

912
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: what was other neutral site? I just think we got

913
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 1: to get rid of these neutral site games. I truly

914
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I've been trying to wrap my head. Who

915
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: benefits Arthur Blank, I mean he hosts like four of

916
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: these things, or Jerry Jones. I got no problem in

917
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: the conference championship, put in Vegas, put in India. I

918
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: get it, the Orange Bowl, I understand it. I have

919
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: no problem with that. But the first game of the season,

920
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: like Nebraska and Cincinnati or you know, South Carolin, I

921
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: think awesome. That would have been if you were South

922
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: Carolina hosting that game with Virginia Tech, or vice versa,

923
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech hosting your coach's son. How sweet that would

924
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: have been, What a cool moment for the Beamer family.

925
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: But instead we're playing this thing at Mercedes Benz. I

926
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: just it's bullshit, it really, it sucks. For as great

927
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: as the Clemson was or Ohio State was, the pageantry,

928
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: the intensity, just how much it means. That's what college

929
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: football is, is the environment. It's what I didn't go

930
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: to any of these schools, and yet it draws me

931
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: to watch these games. We gotta get rid of it.

932
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: That being said, it's probably not going away anytime soon.

933
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully everyone enjoyed the weekend. And it's not quite

934
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: done because we've got Bill Belichick tomorrow at five o'clock.

935
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: So buckle up and enjoy your holiday Monday off and

936
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: I will talk to you soon. The volume
