1
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Spend so much time defending your stuff, spend so much

2
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: time fighting against haters out there, you never stop to

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: think they may be right. You know, Tonight's show a rarity,

4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: but it's gonna happen. And it's the kind of show

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: where I may have to sit right here in front

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: of you and God and everyone and admit that they

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: were right about me. Who are they? What were they

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: right about? Well, that's why we're going to dive into

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: the show. This jam packed Taiatapa, Lovely downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: on this Sunday night, March second, the Year of Our Lord,

Speaker 1: and Outdoors. Listen, they're fight me on a lot. Brian Kelly,

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: is he a top ten head coach? Resume wise? You know,

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: not predictive, not looking into the future. I don't know

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly will be around in twenty but is

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: he a top ten head coach in college football? Let's

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: just call balls and strikes tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: will discuss that I've got, as I mentioned to start

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: the show, someone who has taken issue with how I

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: discussed the Big Twelve. I don't think they're entirely wrong.

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: The Big Twelve is my conference, and so I take

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: this personally. I will address it. I'll be fair, I'll

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: show the criticism. I'll respond to it. Tonight. We've got

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the possibility this year, since we have like forty seven

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: teams in the playoff, that we could have new Playoff teams.

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: One of you asked, Hoops, could that be. I've got

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: a couple of ideas. I don't want to narrow it

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: down just yet, but I got a couple of ideas.

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Like ole Miss people are telling me they miss their window.

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they miss their window. I think they

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: can make the Playoff this year. I got several things

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: to get to tonight. We're really really jam packed, like

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: that's how thick the packet of papers is. But we're

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: not so jam packed that we can't start an entirely

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: new feature on the show tonight. We'll call it payt

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: State one oh one, you know, because that's the name

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: we came up with right before the show. Just just

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: some questions we get a lot. Normally I've been answering

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: them off air. I'm gonna answer some of them on air.

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why, because it's March and we've

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: got time to They're watching us in Wanona, Mississippi. I've

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: done a fair amount of storm chasing in Winona. They're

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: watching us in Edwardsville, Illinois. Have not chased in Edwardsville yet,

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: but never say never. Americus, Georgia, Scottsdale, Arizona. Thank you

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: guys so much. Okay, so we're gonna be on the

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: road this week, normal show schedule. Our next show will

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: be on Thursday. However, I will be somewhere on Tuesday.

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna visit to CAMPI plural of campus this week.

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I'll be somewhere Tuesday that I've never been before. I'll

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: be somewhere Wednesday that I have been before. But the

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: only clue that I can give you is both head

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: coaches that will join me for the Paate State Speaker

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: Series this week will be joining for the first time.

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: Neither guy. They are both guys. There's hint number one,

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: so both of these head coaches are male, and number two,

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: neither have ever been on the show. They've been discussed

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: on the show, but they haven't been on the show.

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: So we're we're just continuing to knock down the dominoes. Nope,

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: it's not Dabo Swinning. Still have not been able to

60
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: grab Dabo, but we'll just keep trying. That's the thing

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: about a white whale. If you don't get out there

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: and search for it, you'll never find it. Okay, let's

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: dive into the show. Why start the show happy, joyful, gleeful.

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's just dive right into some toxicity that only college

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: football could bring us. Question for you, is Brian Kelly

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: a top ten head coach in college football? Think? Think, think,

67
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: come up with your criteria. Okay, I'm not asking you.

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Will he be one for the foreseeable future. I'm just

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: asking let's look at resumes, let's look at active head coaches.

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Is he a top ten head coach? Now? Where does

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: this come from? It's the middle of March, Josh, where

72
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: did this come from? Well? The other day I was

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: doing my usual defending of James Franklin because someone throughout

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the word overrated, and you know my old take on

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: James Franklin. James Franklin is not overrated. James Franklin is

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: not underrated. James Franklin is properly rated. And I've given

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: my reasons for that. So this isn't about James Franklin.

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: It was. But then in the midst of all the

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: James Franklin semi drama, someone just tossed Brian Kelly in

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: there because someone had come at me and they were asking, like,

81
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: who's the most overrated head coach in college football? And

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: someone immediately said James Franklin. So I screenshoted which is

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: the past tensive screenshot, and I put it out there.

84
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: I said something along the lines what did I say, Jesse?

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: I said something like, I can always start a baseline

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: of figuring out someone's college football IQ by what they

87
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: think about James Franklin. And then someone came at me

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: and said, what's not James Franklin. We need to be

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: talking about Brian Kelly's the most overrated head coach in

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: college football? Now, anyone who's a long time en roly

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: at pat State knows the first question we ask when

92
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: someone gets labeled overrated is what what are they rated?

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: You can't know it if someone's overrated. You can't know

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: if some thing's overrated or underrated until you know what

95
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: they're rated and who are they being rated against. So

96
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: I ask what's Brian Kelly rated? And they were like, well,

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: it's not a top ten head coach. And I said, oh, really,

98
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: in terms of what height, what are we talking about,

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: because certainly, resume wise, Brian Kelly is not only in

100
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the top ten, he's solidly in the top ten, or so,

101
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I thought. So you ever do that thing sometimes where

102
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: you say something that you think is common sense and

103
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: then you find out an alarming number of people in

104
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: the room do not share your opinion that it's common sense,

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: and you're in an argument you're not prepared to be

106
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: in because you never expected to be in it. Well,

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: that was me over the weekend talking about Brian Kelly

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: being a top ten head coach in college football. So

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: when I think about top ten head coaches in college football,

110
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't base it on one thing. It is certainly

111
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: not whether or not you've won a national championship. Truth

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: be told, we don't have ten active head coaches who

113
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: have won a national championship. So you have to have

114
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: achieved something maybe a little bit lesser than a national title,

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: but still pretty lofty. Okay, so we can't just have

116
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: the cut off at national championship. So I start going

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: back and forth with people, and I found out, and

118
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: this is going to surprise some of you. I've found

119
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: out that there is a solid chunk of the college

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: football public that doesn't like Brian Kelly. Can you believe that?

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: I know I was shocked as well. So you know

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: you're well within your constitutional rights to dislike Brian Kelly.

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: That's one of the amendments. Actually, there's a BK Amendment

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: like in the Bill of Rights itself, so you can

125
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to when it comes to your feelings,

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: like what's in here you towards Brian Kelly. I'm not

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna try and legislate out of you. However, if we're

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: talking about ranking, if we're talking about top tens, then

129
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: don't we have to remove the emotion. No? I got

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: shouted down on that. So here's what happened. What happened is, well,

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: what happened is I said Brian Kelly's a top ten

132
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: head coach in college football, something I didn't even so

133
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: much think of as an opinion but rather as a fact.

134
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: And then a lot of people shouted me down. They

135
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: said he's not a top ten head coach in college football.

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there kind of baffled, and I'm like, okay,

137
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: i'll listen to you. Could you hand me some logic

138
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: based counter arguments as to why he's not a top

139
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: ten head coach? And all I got was like ad

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: hominem attacks and baseless nothingness, and well he's a jerk,

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Well he's not likable. Well look at those cringey recruiting videos.

142
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: These are not criteria. These are just insults. I need

143
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: to know what metric is it you're looking at that

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't rank top ten in comparatively with other head

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: coaches in college football. So it wasn't too much longer

146
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: before they actually some of them came at me with

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: I guess reasoning. I didn't really think much of it,

148
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: but they came at me with some reasoning. So I say,

149
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's a top ten head coach in college football,

150
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of folks y'll know he's not, and

151
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm just baffled by it. So, okay, what reasoning do

152
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: you have is why Brian Kelly wouldn't be a top ten,

153
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: not a top three, mind you, a top ten active

154
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: head coach in college football. He's got twelve double digit

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: win seasons, you know, So here's the thing. I got

156
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: an itch on my nose, Colin, you know, direct Colin

157
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and I when we started to show we were down

158
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: in Brentwood. Back in the day, we used to have

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: this shot that was like off in the distance, remember that, Colin,

160
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: And there was a monitor in the foreground and I

161
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: was in the background, and it made me blurry. And

162
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: I used to have a hand signal for Colin to

163
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: go to that shot so that I could like scratch

164
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: my nose or take a drink of water. We don't

165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: have that anymore. Maybe we should reinvest in that. Anyway.

166
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: I digress. I say Brian Kelly's a top ten head coach.

167
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: This small but very very vocal minority of Internet people

168
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: come at me and they said, well, what does he want?

169
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Anytime you say a coach is top ten, you know,

170
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: anytime you say Brian Kelly's a top ten head coach,

171
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a small but vocal minority of people

172
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: on the internet yell, well what is he won? And

173
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: I look and I say, well, he's won double digit

174
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: games twelve times in his career. He's the winningest head

175
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: coach in the history of Notre Dame, not UTSA all

176
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: due respect to the road Runners Notre Dame. They were

177
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: making movies about Notre Dame football when your granddad was around.

178
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: It's sort of a noteworthy institution in the pantheon of

179
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: college football. That guy's won more games there than anyone,

180
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: and he was good enough to stick around for long

181
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: enough to win more games there than anyone. But he

182
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: hasn't won the big One. That's what they told me.

183
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly hadn't won the Big One. We got eight

184
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: active head coaches with a playoff win. Forget about championship wins.

185
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: We only got eight of them in college football who

186
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: have won a playoff game. We got three of them

187
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: who have won national championship. So to say this guy's

188
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: not a top ten active head coach because he hasn't

189
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: won the big One makes me respond with what the

190
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: world's the big one? What's the big one? Immunity? What

191
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: is the big One? And how many other head coaches

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: find me ten of them that have won whatever the

193
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: big One is that Brian Kelly hasn't won. I don't

194
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: think you can. Ring culture has poisoned the college football public.

195
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Ring culture and playoff culture has totally poisoned the well

196
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: of the college football public, because there is a lot

197
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: of folks out there who will look at you. You

198
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: can have twelve double digit win seasons. You can be

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: the winningest head coach in the history of Notre Dame.

200
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: You could have been doing this thirty years solidly, like

201
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: B plus or better virtually every year. If you do

202
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: not have a national championship ring on your finger, you

203
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: have accomplished nothing. In their mind, these people, not all,

204
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: but most have something in common. They've never achieved anything

205
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: of note. The way I know that is because I

206
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: traffic in this a lot. I have no problem getting

207
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: in the mud and arguing about this stuff. And so

208
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: what I notice sometimes is, whether people realize it or not,

209
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: they're the first ones to take shots at people for

210
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: just being really good for a long time, and they

211
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: have no earthly idea how hard it is to sustain

212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: just being above average in a competitive field for a

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: long time. You could take Brian. You could take shots

214
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: at Brian Kelly all you want to. You can dislike

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: him all you want to. The guy's done it for

216
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: thirty plus years at a B plus or better level.

217
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: He's done it at Cincinnati, he went to the Orange

218
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: and Sugar Bowl at Cincinnati before it was sort of

219
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: in vogue to do that at Cincinnati. He goes to

220
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, leaves they're the winningest head coach in the

221
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: history of the program. Goes to LSU first year, beats Alabama,

222
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Saban's Alabama, and goes to Atlanta. The

223
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: guy has been a B plus or better performer every

224
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: year for decades now, and people who have never achieved

225
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: anything in their lives will look at that, and they're

226
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: so quick to dismiss it. They're so quick to dismiss

227
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: guys who were only winning at a pretty high level.

228
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, someone only is performing in an above average

229
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: to pretty good levels sustainably for like thirty years. That's

230
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: not a big deal. Well, if it's not, then find

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: me where it exists in abundance. It doesn't because it's

232
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: really hard to do. It's really What is still hard

233
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: to do, but not as hard to do is burn

234
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: hot for a little while. Because we have examples of that.

235
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Ed ors Ron won a national championship in twenty nineteen

236
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: and was gone a couple of years later. That season

237
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: he had in twenty nineteen is better than anything. Brian

238
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Kelly's ever done. You get no argument from me who's

239
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: the better head coach? Are we really arguing criteria being

240
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: solely national championship wins? Is that the viewpoint? If that's

241
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: the viewpoint you come from, that's okay. We just disagree

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: on it. I think people are so quick to dismiss

243
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: longevity and how hard it is to achieve at a

244
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: really high level consistently, even if you're not at the

245
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: pinnacle of your profession. It's a skill, man. It is

246
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: hard to achieve at a B plus or higher level

247
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: in any competitive field for decades at a time. And

248
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't care if you win a championship or not.

249
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: That's hard to do. So, Brian Kelly's solidly top ten

250
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: for me. Now, if you don't think he's likable, that's

251
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,479
Speaker 1: an entirely different conversation. If you don't think he shoulders

252
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: as much of the load operationally at LSU. Guys aren't

253
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: sharing information other people don't know about. I know what

254
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I know what you mean when you

255
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: say that. I probably agree with you. It doesn't change

256
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: what's on this piece of paper his resume. It doesn't

257
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: change that the future can be debated if you're of

258
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the opinion that LSU will never achieve, LSU won't be

259
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: a playoff team as long as Brian Kelly's there. Fine,

260
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: but we're talking about two different things here. I'm talking

261
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: about resume. I'm talking about what he has been. Listen,

262
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: there are several coaches who, because of the changing landscape

263
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: of college football, were something at one point that they

264
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: won't be moving forward. Could very well be Brian Kelly,

265
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: or maybe he adapts and enters into another phase of

266
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: his career. I don't know. But mixing emotion into this

267
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: just leaves you so exposed. This applies far beyond just

268
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the realm of debating college football. But when we're talking

269
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: top ten, here's what you got to be careful of.

270
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: When you dislike somebody, or you really like somebody, you're

271
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: really quick to say, oh, they're a top ten, or no,

272
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: they're not a top ten, and you don't really even

273
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: have nine other names in your mind. That's kind of

274
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: reverse engineering affirmation instead of blindly providing yourself or providing

275
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: someone information. Gotta be careful because the more information the better,

276
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: and the more emotion that gets mixed into the equation,

277
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the more foolish you look online, in front of an

278
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: audience on a microphone. Whatever. Brian Kelly, by all discernible

279
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: logic based criteria, is a top ten active head coach

280
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: just is. You don't have to like him if we

281
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: go likability. Maybe he doesn't rank top ten, but the

282
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: odds to win the SEC Championship this year are up.

283
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: He's fifth. I think little low. I think a little

284
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: more highly of LSU's odds this year than that, But

285
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: who cares? That just means I should go bet it,

286
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: which I already have. So that really doesn't pertain so

287
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: much to what we're talking about here. But man, I

288
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how much pushback I got on that. It

289
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: just goes to show you college football is a beautiful

290
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: thing because there is there is no absolute subjectivity when

291
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: it's woven in. There is no absolute. There is an

292
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: absolute at Academy Sports and Outdoors. That is an absolute. Notice.

293
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: We never have segments about Academy because it's not controversial

294
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: put Academy in the top ten. Is anyone done like

295
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: top ten brands in the United States? Academy's got to

296
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: be way up there, right, Academy Sports and Outdoors. I

297
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: was at Little League field, what like twenty four hours

298
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: ago down in Harris County, Georgia. Kid you not, the

299
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: park is named Pate Park. People ask if it's named

300
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: after me. I don't deny it. It's not, but I

301
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: don't deny it. I take a phone call, I act

302
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: like I got distracted. Leave it open ended. But a

303
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of Academy Sports and outdoors gear, a lot of

304
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: those wagons, a lot of those academy wagons, a lot

305
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: of those tents, a lot of just straight up gear

306
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: that got purchased from academy. And here's the thing about

307
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the little ones playing baseball, softball, et cetera. In March.

308
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: A day that was once seventy eight degrees can turn

309
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: into a day that is fifty six degrees really quick.

310
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: So you got to be geared up and academy Sports

311
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: and outdoors as you covered. And you may be thinking

312
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: to yourself, I'm not gonna buy a jacket just for

313
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: two weeks. Well, the thing about every spring that has

314
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: ever happened is, yes, it did turn into summer. But

315
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: I checked the records today, and every summer has eventually

316
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: given way to fall. So what you put in the

317
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: closet in spring will be pulled back out in the fall,

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: and they've got it at Academy Sports and Outdoors and

319
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: if you can't get their in person, Academy dot com.

320
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: As you covered, we appreciate them. All right, let's move

321
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: on to happier topics. Happier I don't know what Brian

322
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Kelly did to lead the show tonight, but he did it.

323
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: We had a question about something that I did not

324
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: talk about last week. Shawn from Fort Worth, Texas hit

325
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: me up. He said, are there any updates on playoff

326
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: changes for twenty twenty five? That's this season? He said,

327
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: he was wondering if I had heard anything since the

328
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: last segment. It's a good question. So I still think

329
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: changes are possible for this fall. What Sean's talking about

330
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: is all this drama, all this talk about whether there's

331
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: going to be an expansion to fourteen or sixteen teams,

332
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: whether there's going to be an automatic qualifier structure where

333
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: we already know how many teams the SEC will get

334
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: in or the Big ten will get in. All that

335
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: it's probably come him, but all that's coming in twenty

336
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty six. And as Shawn noted, we kind of have

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: a season before twenty twenty six this fall, the here

338
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: and now, the right in front of us, and there's

339
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: been talk, there've been rumblings that we may have a

340
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: little adjustment to the playoff field this year. It's going

341
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: to be the same number of teams, so we're still

342
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna have twelve. But the SEC and the Big Ten

343
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: have been pushing pretty hard to remove the auto bid

344
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: structure going only to conference champs. So this past year,

345
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: you saw Boise have a first round by. You saw

346
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: Arizona State have a first round by that's cause the

347
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: rules said those top four seeds the first round byes

348
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: could only go to conference champs. Well, they didn't like that.

349
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Most people didn't. Most college football fans looked at it.

350
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: I did too, and I said, this makes no sense.

351
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: So they want to scrap it. But not everyone wants

352
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: to scrap it. So they met this past week in Dallas,

353
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of reporting on that, and

354
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: the reporting was basically everyone emerged from the meetings and

355
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: the Big Ten and the SEC didn't say anything publicly,

356
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: and other commissioners found the nearest microphone and said, well,

357
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: we may budge on that, but we got to see

358
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: if it makes sense. You saw a couple of people.

359
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Rich Clark, the chair of the CFP, said

360
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: we got to run some data to make sure it

361
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: makes sense. Now that statement makes no sense there in theory,

362
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: it does. What he's saying is, well, if we're just

363
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna go with one through twelve, which is what the

364
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: SEC in the Big ten want, if we're just gonna

365
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: seed it straight, you know, the most simple approach, one

366
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: through twelve equals one through twelve and the top four

367
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: get a first round by no matter what conference they're from.

368
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: We want some data historically that backs up that that

369
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: makes sense. Past data is irrelevant because past data is

370
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: reflective of a sport that doesn't exist anymore. The sport

371
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: in the past didn't look like it does now. Texas

372
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: was not in the SEC in the data set that

373
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna pull. Oregon was not in the Big ten

374
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: in the data set you're gonna pull. So that makes

375
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: no sense. But none of it makes sense, is the point, Sean.

376
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: So what you need to really really bear in mind

377
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: is there are a bunch of people in these rooms

378
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: rooms right now. No one's goal is to look out

379
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: for the best interest of college football. Because we don't

380
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: have a commissioner. We've got conference commissioners, so everyone's in

381
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: the room looking out for their own best interests. Not

382
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: the most radical concept in the world. We do that

383
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: in other walks of life too, sort of sort of

384
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: a little representative college football government, if you will. But

385
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: it kind of sucks for the common sense folks who

386
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: look and say, well, I don't really care which conference

387
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: benefits or which conference gets the shaft. I kind of

388
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: want what's best for the sport because no one else

389
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: is thinking that way. So that means, Sean, what makes

390
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: sense to you and what seems like common sense to

391
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: me is probably the last thing that's going to happen

392
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: because of that, Because it's common sense. Each commissioner is

393
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: looking to secure value for their own conference. So how

394
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: are we going to get changed this fall? Well, the

395
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: game of chicken that's happening right now is a couple

396
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: of couple of different layers. So right now we got

397
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: one year left on the current deal, the current twelve

398
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: team format, if you will, and this fall, if nothing changes,

399
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: we'll have the same rules we had last year. The

400
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: sec in the Big Ten want to change this year's

401
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: rules to where it's just straight seed. Nobody cares about

402
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: autobids only going to conference champs. Just whoever the one

403
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: through twelve is, that's who gets it. The other conferences

404
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: are looking and saying, uh, maybe we'll give you concessions there,

405
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: but they're trying to leverage the concessions in twenty twenty

406
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: five to maybe get something for themselves in twenty twenty

407
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: six and beyond, because they know what reality is. Reality

408
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: is starting in twenty twenty six and beyond, they're gonna

409
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: have a new deal, and also twenty twenty six and beyond,

410
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten do not need consensus

411
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: approval to make changes they do right now. That's the

412
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: problem for them. They don't need consensus twenty twenty six

413
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: and beyond, so it'll be it kind of already is

414
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: their world, but it really will be their world moving forward.

415
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: So you know, there's backroom negotiation happening right now. There

416
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: is a part of me, Sean, if I'm being honest,

417
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that believes this has been

418
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: the long game the SEC and the Big Ten have

419
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: been playing all along. I know it seems randomized. I know,

420
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: from day to day it seems like it's really chaotic

421
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: and no one knows what's gonna come. Yeah, that's like

422
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: if I start in Atlanta and I'm driving to LA

423
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: and I plug it in the GPS, it could take

424
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: me a few different directions, but I know my end

425
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: points Los Angeles, California. I'm gonna get there. I think

426
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: the big ten in the SEC. There's part of me

427
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: that believes the big ten in the SEC have always

428
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: known the end game. Here is their own version of

429
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: the NFC and AFC existing in college football, and whatever

430
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: year that was gonna happen in was whatever year it

431
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: was gonna happen in. But this has been several years

432
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: running now. There's been a voice in my head that said,

433
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: they know. All they have to do is wait. I mean,

434
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: when you're earning twice as much as the other guys

435
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: out there, three times as much, and when the trajectory

436
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: of you versus them continues to widen the gap, not

437
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: close it, all you got to do is wait. It's

438
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: like having a village surrounded. You don't have to go

439
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: in there and attack them. All you got to do

440
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: is blockade supplies coming in. They'll eventually starve to death

441
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: or either they'll come out and they'll plead with you,

442
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: and you'll get whatever you want out of them. College

443
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: football probably ends up playing out the same way. Do

444
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: I love it? No, I actually hate it. But there's

445
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: a part of me that believes this has been the

446
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: long game all along, and there maybe have been some

447
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: twists and turns, but by and large's gone the direction

448
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten have always wanted it

449
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: to go. So then the logical follow up question, sean,

450
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: if you're like me and you hate how that sounds,

451
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: is well, how do we fix it? Well, I'll tell

452
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: you how. You don't fix it. You don't fix it

453
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: by sort of jerry rigging the college football playoff to

454
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: make a two conference sport still appear to be more

455
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: than that. What you do is you turn college foot

456
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: into something more than a two conference sport. In other words,

457
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: you go in reverse, because sometimes going backwards is going forward.

458
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: The road that we've gone down, in the eyes of many,

459
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: is kind of sort of a dead end road. And

460
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: if it's not a dead end road, it's far too

461
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: narrow and we can't all fit on it. So there

462
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: was a time, kids, not too long ago, where college

463
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: football was regional, it was territorial, and there was representation

464
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: across the country. They may have been more passionate in

465
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: the South than they were parts of the West coast

466
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: about college football. There may have been bigger population centers,

467
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: There may have been more high school talent in Texas

468
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: than there wasn't the Pacific Northwest. But there was representation everywhere.

469
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: That's the answer for fixing your problem here. It's not

470
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: hoping the public doesn't realize the sport has become one

471
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: in which only two conferences are really competitive at the

472
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: highest levels. So apparently in this next structure, they're gonna

473
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: hope that you're dumb enough to still believe that there

474
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: are four power conferences, when of course there aren't. There

475
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: are some teams in the Big twelve and the ACC

476
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: that could compete for a little while against teams in

477
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: the Big twelve or Big Ten in SEC, but long term,

478
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: Michigan State's in a better position than Clemson is, like

479
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: Arkansas isn't a better position than Miami is strictly because

480
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: of conference affiliation. So I don't know what the fix

481
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: is there, and I don't know if we're gonna get

482
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five resolution. I still think it's a fifty

483
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: to fifty thing. I really don't have a strong feel

484
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: either way. I don't particularly care. I will talk about

485
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: it on the show because I know you guys do.

486
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: I don't. It is what it is to me at

487
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: this point. Moving along, had other big news that's happened

488
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: since the last time you and I spoke, Colin. If

489
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'm gonna boom crack azeva right there

490
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: in the mic. Shockingly, we went with cream soda tonight,

491
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: delicious as all and absolutely zero sugar in that set

492
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: or in the can because it is zero sugar sodam.

493
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: You know. General managers are all the rage these days.

494
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: Jeff from Charlotte hit us with this question. He said,

495
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people making a huge deal

496
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma hiring Jim Naggy from the Senior Bowl as GM.

497
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: I know the position is getting bigger, but on a

498
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, what's the level of importance

499
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: of having a top GM in college football? And what

500
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: makes a GM great in our game? Well, the latter

501
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: question there, I just think is understanding the totality of

502
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: college football. Being able to see around the corner, you know,

503
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: being able to see from fifty thousand feet, having working

504
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: knowledge of multiple facets of college football. That's what makes

505
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: a good GM. How important is a GM. It's a

506
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: solid seven and rising, and some people would argue it's

507
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: already a ten on the one to ten scale. So

508
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: there's been some big noteworthy moves. Colin is showing you

509
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: a list of some of the notable GM hires from

510
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: this past cycle. Chad Bowden at USC came there from

511
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Huge move. Did you know? Andrew luck is

512
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: the GM at Stanford now? Jim Naggy goes from running

513
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl to being the general manager at Oklahoma.

514
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: He's just big time, big time moves in college football.

515
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: You got to change the way. If you want to

516
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: know how to think about a college football general manager,

517
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: you first have to know to change the way you

518
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: think about college football. So the way you think about

519
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: a college football organizationally, you know, the way you think

520
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: about college football organizationally, our entire lives has been to

521
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: think of the head coach and then everything's beneath the

522
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: head coach. Everything works downstream of the head coach. The

523
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: head coach is making all the hiring and firing decisions

524
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: aside from his own and that's the way it is,

525
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: and that's mostly kind of the way it still will be,

526
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: except there's an entire other category over here, the ORG chart,

527
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: and it's the general manager. And the funny thing about

528
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: the way this is structure, which I'm not sure the

529
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: public is picking up on yet, is that general manager

530
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: in many cases is not answering to the head coach.

531
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: That general manager is answering to the athletic director. And

532
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: here's why that's important. You've always trained your mind to

533
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: believe that when a head coach is out, well, that

534
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: means everybody's out. They just hit the dump button. The

535
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: coordinators are gone, the recruiting staff's gone, Strength and conditioning

536
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: most of the time is gone. They just wipe the

537
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: entire department out. New head coach comes in, he brings

538
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: his own, folks. We are entering a world now. I've

539
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: never seen this before, but we're entering a world now

540
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: where the general manager will outlive the head coach, especially

541
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: in a situation maybe like Oklahoma or maybe like USC.

542
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting either of those head coaches is on

543
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: the hot seat, but in a general sense, just a

544
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: principled sense, think about this. If you hire a guy

545
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: like Jim Naggi and he comes into Oklahoma and you've

546
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: got a head coach that's three or four years in.

547
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: Let's say two years later, the head coach is not

548
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: putting up results that are good enough, and it comes

549
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: time to make a change. Jim Nagge's not going anywhere,

550
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: Brent Venables is. Then you start talking like you do

551
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: in the Sunday Game, and you start asking, well, is

552
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: Jim now he's gonna get to go hire his guy.

553
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: This is all theoretical because it's kind of a new frontier.

554
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: It used to be who's the ad gonna go hire? Well,

555
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: now what is it? Well, the answer is case to case.

556
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: So it will vary depending on university. But some places

557
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: you'll have an athletic director who hires that general manager

558
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: and tells that general manager you're gonna work day in

559
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: and day out with that head coach. But you're answering

560
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: to me, and I'm telling you, especially if there's a

561
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: job opening, I'm telling you you go hire your head coach. Now,

562
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: think about how different that is in terms of dynamics.

563
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen at the University of Georgia. Kirby

564
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Smart's never answering to anyone other than his athletic director

565
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: at Georgia, but other places could quickly quickly approach an

566
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: era where head coach answers to GM who answers to

567
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: athletic director. Just three years ago, even three months ago.

568
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: There are a lot of folks who have watched the

569
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: sport their whole lives who would have looked at that

570
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: and said that would never happen. Well, it's happening. It's

571
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: happening now. Whether that's good or bad, you can make

572
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: your own call on that. I'm indifferent on it because

573
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: it's too early. I'm just willing to wait and see

574
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: the results. But that entire concept, the way you visualize

575
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: a football program in your mind, that stuff's changing, changing

576
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: pretty radically, maybe for the better, but at the very

577
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: least changing pretty radically. Okay, moving along, you got to

578
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: take a sip of water. Notice how deep we have

579
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: gotten into the show, and we haven't talked really about

580
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: the playoff at all, which I'm proud of. And I

581
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: only that because it is seven point thirty Central time

582
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: right now live and the streak is about to end.

583
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: But I think in a good way. So I'll tell

584
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: you what I have in mind. Right after I take

585
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: the sip of water. We had a good question I

586
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: thought that I figured we'll just go ahead and answer

587
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: on air Chase from Birmingham. He said, who are two

588
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: teams that could be first time playoff teams this year?

589
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: We had a bunch last year that you could see coming,

590
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: like Penn State and Tennessee, but also some that were

591
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: from left field SMU Indiana. So Chase asks a good

592
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: question here, But think about what he just said, because

593
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: a third of the playoff field last year was made

594
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: up of first time playoff teams. Now, of course, when

595
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: you expand the playoff, you're gonna have more teams. Therefore,

596
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: you've got a higher likelihood that someone makes it who

597
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: has never made it before. Okay, But each year that

598
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: we get further into the playoff era, whether it's four

599
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: teams or twelve teams, we lose potential candidates to make

600
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: it for the first time because more teams have made it.

601
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: That makes sense, Ole Miss is the team I would

602
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: go with. If you tell me two teams are gonna

603
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: make the playoff this fall that have never made it before,

604
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: but you just don't tell me who they are, and

605
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: I have to guess. Oh, miss is one of them.

606
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: So I know about the buzz around Austin Summons at quarterback.

607
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: So in this world, you know we're going best case scenario.

608
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: So he pans out. They fell flat last year in

609
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: that Kentucky game and in the best of worlds in

610
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. That means that they got shoulders more

611
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: tense than a prison inmate, and they're constantly on guard

612
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: and they don't let it down and they don't have

613
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: that inexplicable loss to where they're having to defend themselves.

614
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: And Lane Kiffin's having a tweet at the playoff committee

615
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: in December, you don't have that if you take care

616
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: of business this year, and take care of business, I

617
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: think they will because that schedule sets up again. We've

618
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: got it rated right now as the third easiest schedule

619
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Now that's relative cause to have the

620
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: third easiest schedule in the SEC still means you play

621
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: LSU and you go to Georgia and Oklahoma and back

622
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: to back weeks. You do still play South Carolina, you

623
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: still play Florida. But again, relatively speaking, that's the third easiest.

624
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: And I always struggle with how to twist my finger culling.

625
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: You see that game right there. If you're listening to

626
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: a podcast, I'm disrespect or disrespectfully pointing towards the Kentucky game.

627
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I have learned a hard lesson, and that is not

628
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: to chalk up a win for Old Miss against Kentucky.

629
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: But in this scenario, I am so I'll go ole mess.

630
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: What about Miami? Miami's never made the playoff? Right, So

631
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: if you tell me two teams are gonna make it

632
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: to the playoff this year who have never made it before, Well,

633
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: they've trended up three consecutive years. Now cam Ward's leaving,

634
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: so maybe this is the year where they trend back down.

635
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: But maybe not. Maybe Carson Beck is fully healthy. And again,

636
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: if you're talking about making the playoff, the whole basement

637
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: worst case fear that's out of it. If they're a

638
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: playoff team, then theoretically that means Carson Beck played a

639
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: really good year. And you know, Carson Beck walks into

640
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: a situation where he gets paired with Shannon Dawson, a

641
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: guy who should have been a Broils Award finalist in

642
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, this past year, they made a good move

643
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: at defensive coordinator. I think whether it pays dividends in

644
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: year one. Remains to be seen, but if we're going

645
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: best case scenario, I guess it did. Schedule is not

646
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: easy for Miami. This is why they needed to take

647
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: advantage of last year. They got Notre Dame, they got Florida,

648
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: they go to FSU, they got Louisville at SMU, at

649
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech and Pitt back to back to end the year.

650
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: They gotta go north two times to end the year.

651
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: But hey, you know we're short on candidates here, so

652
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: I'd go Miami as a candidate. I think Texas A

653
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: and m is a candidate. There's sixth in the returning

654
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: production this year, and the areas where they lost a

655
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of guys, like defense of line wide receiver, they

656
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: did a good job with the portal strategically backfilling those positions.

657
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like they know what they're doing. Mike Elko

658
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: year two, Okay, that always means something, So I just

659
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: throw it out there. That's classic preview magazine stuff. If

660
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: you need filler, if you're short on bullet points, just say, hey,

661
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: head coach, year two and just assume that everyone knows

662
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: that that means something significant. It's like returning starters. You

663
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: just hope everyone thinks it means something significant. Now. They're

664
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: middle of the pack in the SEC and strength of schedule.

665
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: They play seven teams that we have internally rated as

666
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: Tier one or Tier two. The tier two teams though,

667
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of variants there, so like Auburn could

668
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: be really good or really bad. Florida, Missouri, South Carolina.

669
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: They play all four of them, and all four of

670
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: them could flirt with double digit wins or struggle to

671
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: make a bowl game, and neither would surprise you. It

672
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: would surprise me if Missouri didn't make a bowl game.

673
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: But the other ones have real tough schedules. So at

674
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: A and M I'd put in there. At Louisville's also,

675
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: that's another team that I would think if we have

676
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: two new playoff appearances this year, maybe Louisville's one of them.

677
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: They they have a really backloaded schedule. You know, I

678
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: think extremely highly of Jeff Brohm. They got a backloaded schedule.

679
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: They went and got Miller Moss at quarterback out of

680
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: the portal, and they've done a really good job like

681
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: they have been what Florida States tried to be. They've

682
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: hit in the portal every year without the big dip year.

683
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Granted we're early on in this tenure, but still they've

684
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: done it. Isaac Brown, best running back in the country,

685
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: must have you don't know? And also can they if

686
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: they can replace their defensive losses. I know it's before

687
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: spring even but if they can do that, that's one

688
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: of the best value plays in college football. So if

689
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: you're telling me we got two new playoff teams, I

690
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: would say it comes from the group of Ole Miss, Miami, Texas,

691
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: A and M and Louisville. And if it doesn't, Hooms

692
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: do is it? Woms do is it? They're watching us

693
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: in Spokane, Washington, would Bind Georgia and Ashburn, Virginia. Appreciate

694
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: you guys so much. Schedule talk, all the rage this

695
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: time of year. It is continuously one of our best

696
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: performing segments. Do you see this in the live chat, Colin?

697
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: Some guy is trash talking our camera movement, Charlie, be defiant.

698
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: Colin just strobeled him for a second. Charlie, if I

699
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: showed you the internals we have, I think it would

700
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: shock you to know what that camera movement does psychologically

701
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: to a viewer, not you. Apparently but to a viewer.

702
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Long story short, we'll produce our show. However, we want

703
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: to thank you though for your input. We've been talking

704
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: about schedules a lot, and so I figured we hadn't

705
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: hit the ACC yet. Let's hit the ACC because we

706
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: graded all the schedules ourselves. So we're looking at it.

707
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: We're saying, we already think we have a pretty good grade.

708
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: Who has the toughest and easiest schedules in each conference?

709
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: Why don't we talk about winners and losers that we

710
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: can adjust this coming out of spring. But I can

711
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: tell you one thing I'm not gonna change my opinion

712
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: on is while everyone's talking about Bill Belichick taking over

713
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, I'm gonna be talking about the fact

714
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: that he just inherited the easiest schedule in the conference,

715
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: maybe the easiest schedule in the country in the Power

716
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: for they have one game against teams we rate either

717
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: Tier one, Tier two, or Tier three. Syracuse plays seven

718
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: by comparison, they're both in the same conference. Again, I

719
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: take this opportunity to remind you scheduling is broken in

720
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: college football. Of course, conferences are broken in college football

721
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: because we've got way too many teams in each one

722
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: of them, and so Syracuse gets the chef this year

723
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina. They could not have gift wrapped Bill Belichick

724
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: an easier road. If Bill Belichick himself was told you

725
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: have to make your schedule, he would have made it

726
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: harder than this because he would have felt guilty if

727
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: he made this schedule for himself. They avoid five of

728
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: the top six teams preseason odds to win the ACC.

729
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: We've got it rated as the second easiest schedule in

730
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: all of power for that doesn't mean he's going to

731
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: do anything. They may still be five and seven for

732
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: all I know. But if they're going to shock the world,

733
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: they've got the schedule to do it. I also think

734
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech's a pretty big winner here in ACC's schedule terms.

735
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: Now Georgia Tech, it's always weird because you know they're

736
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: going to play Georgia. They do get Georgia, yes, but

737
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: they get him at home. Remember they took him to

738
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: fourteen overtimes last year. They get him at home. This

739
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: year they get Clemson, but they get him at home,

740
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: and they get him early in the year. They only

741
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: have two games versus teams we have rated Tier one

742
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: two or three I just named them, and they get

743
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: them both at home. This is already a program that's

744
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: trending up big time. They bring back their quarterback in

745
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: Haines King. They avoid five of the top six teams

746
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: FanDuel's preseason ACC odds. Their only rest disadvantage is against

747
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: wake Forest, and it's wake Forest, you know. So if

748
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: you've got a team that you're facing and they're coming

749
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: off a bye and you're not like, that's you know,

750
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing in the world. It says

751
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: they play Temple on October twentieth. I think we probably

752
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: mean September twentieth there. And I'm proud of myself because

753
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: this is the first time, the first time I have

754
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: ever caught one of our graphics glitches on air, which

755
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: saves me the trouble of having ninety seven people come

756
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: in the comments afterwards on the video and Colin posted

757
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: and point out what is just an obvious flaw. Yes, okay, Temple,

758
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: they're playing them on September twentieth, not October twentieth. Now

759
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: for the losers in the ACC scheduling lottery, Yes, Clemson

760
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: is a loser here. Out of conference is tough. They

761
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: play LSU to start the season. They play South Carolina

762
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: to end the season. Good for them, Good for them

763
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: for schedule in that way. They ought not be punished

764
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: for it unless they lose each one of them by

765
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: thirty but good for them. However, they also play six

766
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: of the top seven teams on the ACC Championship odds

767
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: board at FanDuel, so that's tough. They play at Georgia

768
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: Tech this year, they play at North Carolina and at

769
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: Boston College back to back. They go to Louisville. That's

770
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: a Friday game after they play FSU, so they go

771
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: on the road to play one of the best teams

772
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: in the conference on short rest late in the season,

773
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: and they also have to go to South Carolina. I

774
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: mentioned that as an out of conference game. They end

775
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: the season playing five straight games. Now, the reason that's

776
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: important is because this is a double bye year. Again,

777
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: everyone gets two bye weeks, so theoretically you want your

778
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: buys spaced out to where you never play five games

779
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: in a row. The most you places four in a row.

780
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: They didn't get screwed quite as bad as Miami did,

781
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: which I'll tell you about in a second, but they

782
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: do play five to end the year. What you ask yourself.

783
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: There is Let's say you go to the ACC championship game.

784
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: Who are you playing? And what's the rest advantage they

785
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: may have on you? You don't know until you find

786
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: out who you're playing. I think Syracuse is a loser here.

787
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: I just mentioned this is the total opposite of twenty

788
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: twenty four. Fran Brown came into Syracuse and what did

789
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: we say about him? We said, ton of energy. Everyone's

790
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: gonna love him. Look at the schedule he inherited, and

791
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: boom they sure enough they popped a surprise season on America. Well,

792
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: this year that team's North Carolina Syracuse total opposite. They

793
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: get one of the toughest schedules. In fact, we have

794
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: this rated as the toughest schedule in the ACC. This year.

795
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: They played Tennessee and Notre Dame out of conference, and

796
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: then they go too Clemson, to SMU, to Georgia Tech,

797
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: and to Miami. They play five teams we have rated

798
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: Tier one or Tier two A. North Carolina plays one

799
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: by comparison, So we've got Syracuse as a loser and

800
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: I got Miami as a loser in the scheduling the

801
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: lottery in the ACC two. Here's the problem with them,

802
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: so you got to understand what Miami's gonna be looking at.

803
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: They brought Carson Beck in at quarterback, but Beck's not

804
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna partake in spring because he's rehabbing. So you ask

805
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: yourself will he be healthy to start the season. They

806
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: think he will be. Then the follow up is, okay,

807
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: what percentage of healthy is he? And then also consider

808
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: he's being plugged into a new offense. So does he

809
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: come out of the gate hot or is it really

810
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: really hit miss early and they peak middle of the

811
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: season or later. Well, if they do, the problem is

812
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: they've got Notre Dame week one, they got Florida week four,

813
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: they got FSU week six. It's a front loaded schedule.

814
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: Not only that, you got Miami about as south as

815
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: any team could get on the map, having to go

816
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: to Blacksburg, Virginia, and having to go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

817
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: the last two weeks of the season back to back,

818
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: both cold weather games. No way to know what the

819
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: temperature is going to be that day. But I know

820
00:43:54,320 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: about Virginia and Pennsylvania in late November, and they they

821
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: usually don't look like postcards. Let me put it that way.

822
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: They play seven games to end the season two. So

823
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: the schedule makers, somehow, some way in a year where

824
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: you have two bye weeks, took Miami's schedule and they

825
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: put the two bye weeks in like a three or

826
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: four week period, I think it is. So they play

827
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: Florida State, they get one by week, then they play

828
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: Louisville Stanford, and I can't remember where the other bye

829
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: week is, but it's like right, but right in the

830
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: middle of the season they got two bye weeks. So

831
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: they play seven games to end the season, including back

832
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: to back road games at the very end. And think

833
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: about it within the context of the ACC Championship game.

834
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: If you go, you're playing your eighth consecutive game and

835
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: you're coming off back to back road games, so it's

836
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: basically a third road game in a row because you'd

837
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: be playing in Charlotte. So it's tough, man. It shouldn't happen.

838
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: You should never, ever, ever have back to back road

839
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: games to finish the season in comf ever because that

840
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: bakes in the possibility that you play three consecutive road games,

841
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: and outside of what the SEC has done to Arkansas

842
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: since forever, no one should have that kind of schedule

843
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: dropped in their lap, but it was so there you go.

844
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: We move on to the portion of the show now

845
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: that I've been looking the least forward to, but I

846
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: think ultimately could be the most healthy and helpful for

847
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: all of us. Let me make sure. Yeah, so I've

848
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: got it in order. I let men take a little

849
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: swig of water. It's important to be hydrated for a

850
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: segment that entails what this one's gonna entail. There goes

851
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: Colin with another one of those camera moves. Can you

852
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: believe him the audacity to direct a show? Okay, so

853
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: you've never seen on your screen what you're seeing right now, Colin,

854
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: here's a good endpoint. I myself don't peruse read it

855
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: a lot, but I forced producer Jesse to and producer

856
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Jesse came up to me and said, man, people are

857
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: trashing you on Reddit about the Big twelve, and I'm like, impossible.

858
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: I love a Big twelve. And he showed this to me,

859
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna read it to you. I'm just gonna

860
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: read it and then we can all react. The poster says,

861
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm not delusional. I know a Big twelve national title

862
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: at this point would be like some soccer club winning

863
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: the Premier League. But I'm so tired of hearing the

864
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: two national podcasts I listen to this show and Cover

865
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: three talk about the league like it should be grateful

866
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: to even be allowed to exist. They always follow a

867
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: five minute rant about how terrible it is with but

868
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: I love it though it's so cute and fun. I

869
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: like those two shows in general, but it gets exhausting sometimes.

870
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to find a show that either just talks

871
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: ball or honestly doesn't talk about it at all. So

872
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: as you know, my nature is to get defensive when

873
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: someone calls me out, because it happens a lot. But

874
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: I read that about two or three times, and I

875
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: gotta say I kind of get it. My belief is

876
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: the person who posted that, and I probably feel the

877
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: same about the Big Twelve. The one area I pushed

878
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: back on other than the soccer club because I know

879
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: nothing about soccer, so I need a different metaphorical comparison.

880
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: But the one thing I push back on is I

881
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: think there's probably a little misplaced anger there. I think

882
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: that person is probably angrier at the forces that made

883
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: this the reality of college football, rather than being angry

884
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: at me for calling out the accuracy or calling out

885
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: the reality of college football right now. But outside of that,

886
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: I get it. So I do want to say, whoever

887
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: posted that over there, I read it. I took it

888
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: to heart. I'm gonna bake it in. I'm gonna marinate

889
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 1: on it a little bit and we'll see what comes

890
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: out of it. But I don't think you're entirely wrong

891
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: with how we have talked about the Big Twelve on

892
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: the show. Now, as for how I feel about the

893
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, I told Jesse, go find a segment we

894
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: did on the Big Twelve. We've done like ten of them,

895
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: but go find aus segment on the Big Twelve. Because

896
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: I wanted what I wanted to do for new listeners

897
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: or viewers who don't understand when I call the Big

898
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: Twelve America's College Football Conference, and you don't understand what

899
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: that means. I wanted to remind you what it means

900
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: because a lot of times we just talk on the

901
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: show and I'll use inside phraseology or whatnot. But sometimes

902
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: I'll just repeat these stances and I assume everyone knows

903
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: what it means. But we get a ton of new

904
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: listeners and viewers all the time. So you hear me

905
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: call the Big Twelve America's College Football Conference. You may

906
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: think I'm playing around, I'm not. So it turns out

907
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: this time last year, we were in Columbia, South Carolina, actually,

908
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: so I went into SEC country and we did a

909
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: Big Twelve segment because we were doing the show from Columbia,

910
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: because we had Shane Biemer on the show, so we

911
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: were just doing the show from there. This topic came up,

912
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: and I want to remind you because everything that is

913
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: in the clip Collins about to play, I still feel

914
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: today this is why we call the Big Twelve on

915
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: this show America's College Football Conference. I think when you

916
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: look at the competitive balance, you look at the fact

917
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: that no one's drastically outspending anyone else in the Big Twelve,

918
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: the talent rosters are roughly comparable. So many teams are

919
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: at the head table and the ones who aren't have

920
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: access to the head table. You don't see a ton

921
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: of negative nil type stories there. You don't see a

922
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: ton a ton of roster poaching and mercenary type movement

923
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: of players. You don't see coaches doing that as much.

924
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: Culture is preached but also practiced a whole lot more there.

925
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 1: I think right now than any other conference in college football.

926
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: If you claim you love that, and if you don't,

927
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about you right now. But if

928
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: you claim you love that, and a lot of you do,

929
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: how do you turn a blind eye to the Big

930
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: Twelve right now? The other thing is it is insanely

931
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: enjoyable football because it's so unpredictable every week. Okay, that's

932
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 1: not a rebuttal to what the guy said on Reddit,

933
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: because he acknowledged all that he said. Man, he talks

934
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: about the Big Twelve all the time. He's profuse in

935
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: his praise the Big Twelve. However, there's always this treatment

936
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: of the Big Twelve like it's a lesser than conference.

937
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: So that is that is kind of how I talk

938
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: about the Big Twelve. I differentiate between my personal feelings

939
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: towards the conference versus where they stand comparatively in the

940
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: larger picture of college football right now, and that is

941
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: that they're not close to the Big Ten or the

942
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: SEC in terms of quality of team or depth of

943
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: competition or resource. They're not recruiting, talent acquisition, all the stuff.

944
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: They get lapped. So my personal feeling on the sport

945
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: is I don't care about that. I have perfect ability

946
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: and capability to view a conference and a product in isolation.

947
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: So when I watch the Big Twelve, I'm totally happy

948
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: watching it in isolation and just enjoy it for what

949
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: it is. That's when I watch it. When I'm on

950
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: a national show, it's really hard to talk like that.

951
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: This gets back to where I feel what you're saying

952
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: in that post. I totally get what you're saying. We

953
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 1: probably feel the same way. The difference is you're posting

954
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: on Reddit. I'm hosting a national show. I don't mean

955
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: that to sound like a douchebag. I mean literally, how

956
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: do I talk otherwise on a national college football show?

957
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: How do I engage a national college football audience talking

958
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: about the Big Twelve, especially as you get later in

959
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: a college football season, without speaking comparatively Because this past

960
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: year Arizona State made a great run. For example, I mean,

961
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: where was I on conference championship Saturday. I wasn't in Indianapolis,

962
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: even though this company wanted me to be there. I

963
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: wasn't in Atlanta, even though that was the second choice

964
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: for this company for me to go to. I went

965
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: to Dallas. I went to the Big Twelve championship game

966
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: because I happened to view that as my favorite conference

967
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: to watch right now, But as Arizona State started making

968
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: that run later in the year, While you and I

969
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: may have watched him and just said, what a great

970
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: story this team could win the Big Twelve championship and

971
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: that be it, the rest of the country, at least

972
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: a majority of the country would have demanded from a

973
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: national college football show to speak about them within the

974
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: broader framework of playoff implications. This is where my personal

975
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: feel has to have a little separation from how I

976
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: present this show because I don't particularly care. I don't

977
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: need to have Arizona State have a chance to win

978
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: the national title or even have a chance to win

979
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: a playoff game for me to derive value from what

980
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: they're doing, but a lot of people do, so I

981
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: have to talk that way on this show. Don't love it,

982
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: but I have to speak comparatively about what's happening in

983
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: the conference as it relates to the rest of college football,

984
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: and there is no honest way to talk about the

985
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: reality of the Big Twelve right now comparatively with the

986
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: Big Ten in the SEC, rather than to say they

987
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,479
Speaker 1: don't compare. Now, I can follow it up by saying

988
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: I hate it, and I hate what a lot of

989
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: people have done to this sport who probably don't love

990
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: the sport nearly as much as they love. Looking at

991
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: another decimal point in the bottom line of the conference

992
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: they represent. But it doesn't change reality. There's no button

993
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: out here that I can press right now to change that.

994
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: So there's an on and an off switch. Colin presses

995
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: it two or three times a week, and when he

996
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: presses that, all we can control is what's in front

997
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: of us right now, and what's in front of us

998
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: right now, as it pertains to me, talking on this

999
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: show is what it is. Rarely, if you'll notice, rarely

1000
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: on this show do I proactively compare the Big Twelve

1001
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: to any other conference. Cause, if it's up to me,

1002
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: I just love to talk about the Big Twelve in isolation.

1003
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when we end up talking

1004
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: about the Big Twelve and I do what you're talking about,

1005
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: which is to speak about them as a lesser than conference,

1006
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: as a lesser than product comparatively to the Big Ten

1007
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: in the SEC, it's normally because we're answering a question

1008
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: that inserted that, or we're in playoff season and you

1009
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: have to speak that way, it's how many teams are

1010
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: they going to get in? What could their champion do?

1011
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,240
Speaker 1: Could anyone other than their champion get in? How does

1012
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: their number two team compare to the SEC's number four team,

1013
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: Because a committee's going to be looking at it that way.

1014
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I would ask is, I'm

1015
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: always open to feedback on this. Let's say you hosted

1016
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: a national college football show and your audience demands of

1017
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: you what they demand of you, How would you do it?

1018
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: How would you talk about the Big twelve on your show? Remember,

1019
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: your goal isn't to serve yourself. Your goal is to

1020
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: serve your audience. You tell me how you talk about

1021
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: the Big twelve differently than we talk about it on

1022
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: this show. And if you're right, and I think it's

1023
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: a better way, then I'll implement it. But I did

1024
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: appreciate the feedback. I mean, I don't totally disagree with you.

1025
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: Now you say that there's a place better to stop

1026
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: at on a long road trip than quick trip, and

1027
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll disagree with you. What a segue? What a segue?

1028
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: And you know I was in the parking lot at

1029
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: a quick trip last night because we had to drive

1030
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: back from Columbus, Georgia to Nashville, Tennessee. So we're in

1031
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: the parking lot at a Quick Trip, got the raisin lists,

1032
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: trail mix and and it got the gas and you know,

1033
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: all the usuals, cold brew on tap. But also, I

1034
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: told you guys something last week. Remember I told you

1035
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: I was talking to our partners at Quick Trip and

1036
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I feel like it's time to give

1037
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: some stuff away. And they said, okay, how about some

1038
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: Thera guns? And I said, what is that code for something?

1039
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: What is this lingo? No? No, real, real Thera guns.

1040
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: You know, you press a button and it massages you.

1041
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: I skipped over the why as a gas station in

1042
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: possession of branded Quick Trip Thera guns, and I just said,

1043
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: how many do you have? They've got five of them.

1044
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: These things are legit. I've got one and I've been

1045
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: using it. So here's what I'm going to ask you

1046
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: to do. This is a reward for you guys who

1047
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: are watching the show live right now, And if you're

1048
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: listening to the replay, it's not that you're lesser than

1049
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: it's just that you're not going to be able to

1050
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 1: win one of these things. I have Producer Jesse watching

1051
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: the live chat like a hawk right now. If you

1052
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: feel like takeing home one of these things, drop an

1053
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: email address in there. If you don't want to drop

1054
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: your email address in the live chat, that's cool. But

1055
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: if you want one of these thera guns, I got

1056
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: five of them, they're worth it. Producer Jesse is watching

1057
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: the live chat and he will record five names and

1058
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: you'll be richer one thera gun from Quick Trip this week.

1059
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: It even has a Quick Trip sticker on. It's just

1060
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: wildest giveaway. Like I thought thermos or thermi the plural

1061
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: of thermos, but no, we're giving away thera guns. Batteries included.

1062
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: Did I mention that? So if you were on the

1063
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: fence about entering the email address, batteries are included on

1064
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: the thera gun. Okay, we have we have a new

1065
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: feature that we're going to put on the show tonight.

1066
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's long overdue. Personally, I don't know why

1067
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: we haven't done it before. We had a question, and

1068
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that we have like a mountain of questions

1069
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,479
Speaker 1: that sound like this. But it's a college football show,

1070
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: so during the season I don't have time to answer these.

1071
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: Even when we do one of the late Kick or

1072
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: not Lake Kick anymore, or payt state mailbag episodes. We

1073
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: don't have time to answer these kinds of questions. But

1074
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: as you can see on the calendar, it's probably March

1075
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: second or maybe March third, depending on when you're listening.

1076
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: So we got time. We're a little bit flexible right now.

1077
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: And so one of you reached out for some advice,

1078
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: not advice on buying tickets to a football game, not

1079
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: advice on who you should root for. One of you

1080
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: reached out about just advice to our college age audience. Jesse,

1081
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: do we have that? I remember what it said. If

1082
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: we don't have it, we don't have it. Okay. So

1083
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: we have a massive eighteen to thirty four year old audience,

1084
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: really huge college age audience. So most of the time

1085
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: you guys will hit me up. It'll be about whether

1086
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: or not you should bet parlays, and you know the

1087
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: answer to that. But sometimes you guys are hitting us

1088
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: up and you're saying, hey, quick advice on this or that.

1089
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: So one of you hit us up and you were

1090
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: asking about advice about driving. And I said, you know what, Jesse,

1091
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: we got some time tonight. Let's just go straight payt

1092
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: State one oh one on driving, especially for the younger generation,

1093
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: because if you're fifty two years old, I'm about to

1094
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: break some news to you that you may not be

1095
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: aware of. A bunch of young people avoid driving, like

1096
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: avoid getting your license, and I've got to have you

1097
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: guys explain it to me. I want you to explain

1098
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: it to me. Like I'm ninety five years old and

1099
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, there were no cars. I

1100
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: want you to explain to me. For many of you,

1101
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: I know several of you that are putting off getting

1102
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: your driver's license. Why don't you want your driver's license.

1103
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: I have some theories, but I don't know. I haven't

1104
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: put them to the test. I'll give you my theories.

1105
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: My theory number one is you you have much more

1106
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: connectivity via technology. So maybe like the previous generation when

1107
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: they're growing up, they don't have a phone in their

1108
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: hand that can access someone in Sacramento, California, just like that,

1109
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, so the world felt smaller, and so a

1110
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: driver's license and a vehicle was a gateway to get

1111
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: out there can experience the world. And that was kind

1112
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: of correlated with freedom. You get your car, you get

1113
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: your license, you got freedom. And now you may look

1114
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: and you say, well, man, I'm connected with the whole world,

1115
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: so I don't really need a car to have freedom.

1116
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: I would argue, yes, you do, because it doesn't matter

1117
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: if I talk to fifty people in fifty different countries.

1118
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: If I'm sitting in this chair, I've not gone anywhere.

1119
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: I have not moved anywhere. I think experience is tied

1120
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: to mobility. This is like Uncle Josh and my way

1121
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: of thinking, experience experiencing things. You don't do that on

1122
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: a phone. You just you have interaction on a phone

1123
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: or you know, gaming, but you don't experience anything. So

1124
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: I strongly encourage all of you get your driver's license.

1125
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: But that's not even what I want to talk to

1126
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: you about. I know a lot of you don't have

1127
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: your license. Many more of you do have your license.

1128
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: So for our younger generation, in the interest of taking

1129
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: nothing for granted, I'm going to assume that you're unaware

1130
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: of my pet peeve, and my pet peeve is understanding

1131
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: that not all lanes are created equal on that interstate freeway,

1132
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: highway whatever you want to call it. Expressway, guys, if

1133
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: you do nothing else for me, the rest of your lives.

1134
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Please understand what the left lane on an interstate is for.

1135
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: What is it for. It is for passing, It's for

1136
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: going fast, faster than the flow of traffic. And if

1137
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: you don't fit one of those two parameters, get over,

1138
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: get over to the middle, or get over as right

1139
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: as you possibly can. I guess that would be that way. Now.

1140
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Some of you know this, some others. It is dawning

1141
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: on you for the first time. And now you're racking

1142
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: your brain and you're thinking back. You may even be

1143
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: driving right now and there's someone tailgating you, and you

1144
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: think they're the jerk. But the thing is, you're doing

1145
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: sixty three miles an hour in the left lane on

1146
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: the interstate trying to send you a message. They got

1147
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: their brights on behind you right now. They're trying to

1148
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: send you a message. Every now and then they drift

1149
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: over to where their left headlight shines in your rearview mirror.

1150
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to send you a message, and that message

1151
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: is get out of the way. It's not your fault.

1152
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,479
Speaker 1: No one taught you it's not your fault. I'm trying

1153
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to tell you now so that no one has to

1154
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: call you out publicly. You don't get embarrassed. It's like

1155
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: some people go a lot deeper in their lives than others.

1156
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Learning that a playoff birth is spelled b e rth

1157
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: and not brth. I was one of them. Felt like

1158
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: a fool the first day I learned that, because I

1159
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: was in my twenties. But I learned it. And so

1160
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I just want for the guy who reached out for

1161
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the advice about driving. Get your license and then learn

1162
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: to drive. And it doesn't matter if it's a state

1163
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: law or not. Guys laws or laws, and I encourage

1164
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: you to follow them. But we got the code of

1165
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: the road, and the Code of the Road says that

1166
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: left lane is for passing or going fast. It's the

1167
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: same concept as returning your grocery cart at publics. There's

1168
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: no law that says you have to, but very few

1169
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: good people fail to. You know, don't don't traffic in

1170
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 1: that kind of behavior. Don't be crawling in the left lane,

1171
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: and don't be leaving your buggy out in the parking lot. Well,

1172
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: someone will come good it, someone's paid to come get it.

1173
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: No they're not, No, they're not. Well, well, I have

1174
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 1: my right to drive in the left lane, of course,

1175
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: you do, just don't. Just don't do it. We have

1176
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: odds on many things at FanDuel. That's not one of them.

1177
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: But we have odds on many things at FanDuel, the

1178
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: exclusive odds provider of the show. We were talking about

1179
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: some of them earlier tonight. I saw in the live

1180
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: chat someone was asking where are you getting these odds from?

1181
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: Great Question? I think his name was Seth, but I'm

1182
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: not sure, but Great Question, possibly Seth. The answer is FanDuel.

1183
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: You want to know how we know that North Carolina

1184
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: avoids almost every one of the top odds teams in

1185
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: the ACC because we can see the odds at FanDuel,

1186
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: And if you want to bet them right now, you

1187
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: can go to FanDuel. Of course, you could bet the

1188
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: Clippers game tomorrow night. You want to do the Clippers

1189
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: play tomorrow night. If they do, you can bett it

1190
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: at FanDuel. But you know you're here to watch college football.

1191
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in college football, someone may tell you, oh,

1192
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: it's March, there's no college football to bet. Sure there is.

1193
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: They're not going to play the games this week, but

1194
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: sure there is. There's college football over there a lot

1195
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: more than you probably think there is and FanDuel is

1196
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: the exclusive odds provider of our show, and we really

1197
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: appreciate them. I knew we'd get I knew we get

1198
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot of agreement on I knew we get a

1199
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: lot of agreement on the entire driving concept. I knew

1200
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: we get it. Again, it's a consensus agreement. It just

1201
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: only takes one person to ruin it for everyone to

1202
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: be discombobulated on the roadway. So let's just mind ourselves, guys,

1203
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: let's mind ourselves. Last segment, Jesse, I see what you said,

1204
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: by the way, last segment for the show tonight at

1205
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: least and something that it will shock you that we

1206
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: haven't touched on already. But I kind of wanted to

1207
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: let the market settle on this lie a little bit.

1208
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: So you know, the FanDuel has conference win totals already

1209
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: out for this year, like you can bet it right now.

1210
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think a team's going over or under,

01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: do want to tell you I've got a paper popper

1228
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: of a stat which is wild because it's March, very rare,

1229
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: maybe our first paper popper stat in the history of March.

1230
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: I got the SEC win totals in my hand right now. Okay,

1231
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: First off, you'll notice there are no double digit over

1232
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: unders for the first time I think ever in the SEC.

1233
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: But here's what you need to know. Okay, This is

1234
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: not just the SEC, this is all of college football

1235
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: last year in the Power four. Look at the closing

1236
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: over under numbers. Twenty seven overs forty one unders last year.

1237
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: So if you just bet under for every Power four team,

1238
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: you hit it sixty percent. Markets were a little inflated.

1239
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: As it turns out, the public bets overs unders actually hit.

1240
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: It gets really really interesting when you go conference by conference,

1241
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: eight of the top ten teams in the SEC went under.

1242
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: So out of all the highest win totals in the SEC,

1243
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: eight of the ten highest hit under. Ten of the

1244
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: top thirteen and the Big Ten went under all seven

1245
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: team totals. All seven of the highest team totals in

1246
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: the Big twelve went under. Six of the highest seven

1247
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: in the ACC went under. So that means there's a

1248
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: ton of undervalue at the top, a ton of overvalue

1249
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: at the bottom. Has the market corrected itself well? In

1250
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: the SEC? I think there's a reason that even Georgia

1251
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: and Texas don't have an over under of ten and

1252
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: a half or higher. Also, the league's really deep and competitive,

1253
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: and there's probably not an elite team perceptionally to start

1254
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: the year all right, So as it relates to these

1255
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: sec win totals. I think Georgia is getting a ton

1256
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: of respect. There are four teams with win totals of

1257
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: nine and a half Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama. They all

1258
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: have an over under of nine and a half. Now

1259
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: it's important to note a FanDuel, they do not put

1260
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,479
Speaker 1: round numbers out there, so you'll never see ten or nine.

1261
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: It'll always be a half a game. As a result,

1262
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you got to pay attention to the juice on this let.

1263
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Georgia is heavily juice to the over, so you'd have

1264
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 1: to pay more of a premium to bet Texas over

1265
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: nine and a half, Georgia over nine and a half, Bama.

1266
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: I think you get a little value if you bet

1267
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: over nine and a half. So they look even. They're

1268
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: technically not all even broad strokes purposes, they're even. I

1269
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: think Texas has a very workable schedule so that nine

1270
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: and a half, even with Arch startin. They go to

1271
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State to start the year, they go to Georgia

1272
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: late in the year. Big questions around both those teams

1273
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: for different reasons. If Texas splits those games, I think

1274
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: they'll hit the over. I think Georgia getting a ton

1275
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: of respect. At nine and a half. Georgia earns the respect,

1276
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: they earn benefit of the doubt. They won the SEC

1277
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: in a down year last year by their standard. But

1278
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be some under money come in on

1279
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Georgia for the first time in a while. I think

1280
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Vandy's at four and a half. Colin, I mean, what

1281
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: have we bet Vandy over every year? So they're over

1282
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: under win totals four and a half again. And what

1283
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: do we see. We see Charleston Southern on here, we

1284
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: see Georgia State at home revenge game, by the way,

1285
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: and we see Utah State. I'm gonna chalk those up

1286
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: as three wins. Georgia State beat them last year. I'm

1287
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: gonna chalk those up at three wins. So I'm already

1288
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: at three and zero. I have to find two more wins. Now,

1289
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: their schedule in conferences loaded. They go to South Carolina,

1290
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: they go to Alabama. They got LSU, Missouri at Texas, Auburn,

1291
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Kentucky at Tennessee. No favors done for the Commodores, but

1292
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: they are top ten in returning production from a seven

1293
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: win team. Diego Pavia is back somehow at quarterback. This

1294
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: is a team that can win two games in conference.

1295
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: I think so I will yet again bet and over.

1296
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: I will be holding an over four and a half

1297
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: ticket for Vanderbilt these six and a halfs and seven

1298
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and a half. So while Colin, could you throw up

1299
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: the entire list one more time, cluse the middle of

1300
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: the sandwich is really what interests me the most. So

1301
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 1: there are let's see one, two, three, four, or five

1302
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: teams that have over underwent totals of either six and

1303
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: a half or seven and a half. It's your Missouri's,

1304
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: your Auburn's, your South Carolina's, your Florida's. That's gonna be

1305
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: wild like that entire chunk of the SEC. Missouri has

1306
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: one of the most manageable schedules in the conference again

1307
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 1: this year their fifth and returning defensive production. If it

1308
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: just if it just pans out for them, if they

1309
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 1: don't get crushed by injury, I think Missouri is a

1310
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: solid over candidate at seven and a half. Auburn, I

1311
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: have no clue. Auburn has three Top twenty classes baked

1312
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: into their roster right now, two top ten classes. They

1313
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: just went and got Jackson Arnold out of the portal.

1314
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: This was a turnover prone team last year. He was

1315
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: a turnover prone player for Oklahoma last year. If they

1316
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: just invert the turnover paradigm, they get Georgia and Bama

1317
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 1: at home. It's an odd number years, so they get

1318
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Georgia Bama at home over under seven and a half.

1319
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Who in the world knows Florida at six and a half.

1320
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: That's a scheduling number because Florida is one of the

1321
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: top fifteen teams in the country. But their over underwent

1322
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: total is reflective of the ridiculous schedule they have to

1323
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: play their top twenty in returning production. Though they go

1324
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: to Miami early. There's a stretch there. There's a bye

1325
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: week ind there, but they go to LSU to Miami,

1326
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Texas at Texas A and m that stretches. Hey, they

1327
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: play Long Island though, so I'm sure someone will bash

1328
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: him for that win totals in March. We prayed for

1329
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,919
Speaker 1: times like these back in the day. It's great, it's wonderful.

1330
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,439
