1
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: I want to leave this show with no regrets tonight.

2
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: I guess one regret that I can't control is I

3
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: just wish Mema could have been around to see this day.

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: I hold in my hand a stack of paper so

5
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: heavy I have to use two hands to hold it up.

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: We're jam packed. It is Sunday. It is November thirtieth,

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: the year of our lower twenty twenty five high atap

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: a pretty frigid downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I don't know that

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: there's anything on the planet like college football. I don't

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: know how long the show is going to go. Tonight,

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: FanDuel set the over under right at one hundred and

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: twenty point five minutes. Jesse tells me our longest show

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: ever was an hour forty eight. So look, I'm going

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: to talk as fast as I can. We have a

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: metric ton of things to discuss. You and I. It

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: was rivalry week, so yes, oh Yo State curses broken.

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: We got to talk about that. Lank Kiffin's the new

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: head coach at LSU. John Summerl's the new head coach

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: at Florida. Alex Golish is the new head coach at Auburn.

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Penn state has no earthly idea who their next head

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: coach is going to be, and Arkansas has landed Ryan Silverfield.

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: So that all just happened over the span of about

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the past fifteen minutes. Also, Vandy beat Tennessee on the

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: road and dropped in the AP poll. So yeah, we're

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna discuss that the committee's rankings come out forty eight

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: hours from now. We've got all sorts of chaos scenarios.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: The ACC doomsday scenario is back in play, and I'm

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: supposed to talk about it all in one show, and

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna do it. They're watching us

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: in Bellbrook, Ohio, Tampa, Florida, Hagerstown, Maryland, Abilene, Texas. I

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: don't even beg or plead with you anymore. I just

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: humbly suggest to you this is the freest college football

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960

00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520

00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,799

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: bag harder, but immunity. I got to dive into the

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: show tonight. Here it is finally written on a piece

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: of paper, Bradley, right here in front of me. Lane

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Kiffin is the new head coach at LSU. Let's not

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: beat around the bush. It's one of the biggest days

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: in the history of this program. This is a program

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: that anyone this side of Brian Kelly this millennium has

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: won a national championship as the head coach of Lane

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: Kiffin may very well be the next. This could have

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: gone really sideways. I think we all understand that. Okay,

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: if we just hit the rewind button about a month,

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's out and the governor's saying one thing, and

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: then we've got an athletic director and is he going

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: to be permanent? Is he going to be the interim?

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: And there's a whole lot of other competition out there.

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Florida's job is open. Who knows what the NFL may offer,

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: and Lane Kiffin by a mile is the number one

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: candidate in the marketplace. Can LSU get its act together? Well,

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: you know what, LSU got its act together, so to

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: that I have to hat tip them. And they got

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the job done and they landed their slammeddunk number one candidate.

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: So the Marty Smith hostage situation sort of masquerading as

65
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: the LSU coaching search, has come to an end. Glad

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: to see our guy, Marty Smith there, our correspondent on

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the battlefields in Oxford, Mississippi, finally get some much needed

68
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: R and R. And one day, you know, we're talking

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: about documentaries about Lane Kiffin. Maybe one day Marty Smith

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: does his own documentary about the past seventy two to

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: ninety six hours of his life that felt like four years.

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: It's really hard for me to be consistent emotionally. It

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: has been hard for me to be consistent emotionally throughout

74
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I wrote down some words I have felt.

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you can compile your own. Throughout the duration of

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: LSU pursuing Lang Kiffin, I felt entertained, I found myself

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: in disbelief. I felt a lot of intrigue, I felt

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: discussed I felt fatigue. Now we feel finality, there's excitement,

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: there's sadness. I felt all these things. So if you've

80
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: been out there and you've just been watching this and

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: you felt one emotion throughout this whole thing, are you

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: even alive? Are you a real person? I also am

83
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: keenly aware that college football is exploding in popularity. So

84
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: every year, really every month, every week, every day of

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: every year, there's someone new to our sport, and many

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: someones happened to walk in the door of college football

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: in the past month or maybe just in the past year,

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Like this fall has been your first real indoctrination into

89
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: college football, and you look around and say, you can't

90
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: be serious. This is what this is like. And my

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: the answer is no. Most of the time, it's not

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: quite like this. But it is amazing, isn't it. Yeah,

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: you guys are waiting for land Man season two, and look,

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm hooked on it too, But you have to wait

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: for these series to re up. And are we even

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna get you for you a season whatever? I don't know.

97
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: There are rumors of feuding on the set, but I

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: know what I did get. I got Lane Kiffin to

99
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: LSU and it was not without casualties figuratively speaking, because

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: I have talked with many, many, many of our friends

101
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: at ol Miss. I've seen the footage from the airport.

102
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: I watched some dude yell an f bomb towards Chris

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: Kiffin's kid, Cookie, which is unacceptable, by the way, and

104
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: that kid's like barely old enough to talk. So I

105
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: don't really know where he's at in this whole thing.

106
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I guess he's heading to LSU with everybody else. I

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of very very raw, bitter feelings

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: there at ole Miss. There's no universal truth here. I

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: don't know what else you want me to tell you.

110
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Like everyone, when this has been going on, they've been

111
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: wanting you to pick sides. The old Miss folks have

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: wanted you to empathize with them, and the LSU folks

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: have wanted you to say, oh man, we got to

114
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to land our coach. He can

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: act anyway he wants to. That's just part of the fun.

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: It's like, obviously, if the roles were reversed, everyone in

117
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge would be saying the things people in Oxford

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: are saying. And that doesn't absolve you because everyone in

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Oxford would be saying what my friends down in Baton

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Rouge are saying right now, and the innocent bystanders. You

121
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: can just apply all of that to yourselves if you're

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: ever in the market for a coach or your coach

123
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: ever leaves you. Because one of the most overused adages

124
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: in sports is fan is short for fanatic. I don't

125
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: think I've ever said it on the show. It's so old.

126
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: The first time I heard it twenty years ago, I saw, man,

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: that's edgy, that is brilliant, and then everyone started saying it. However,

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: it is true, So there's a lot of fanaticism here.

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Any fan base in any of these spots would have

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: felt the same way. Everyone has their take on what

131
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: really happened. I know that, I know everyone has an opinion.

132
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: So not only is it enough or is it not?

133
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Anough rather to know the truth and that is very

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: very soft, very very much written in shades of gray

135
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: depending on who you are here. But everyone has their

136
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: opinion on whether this was all orchestrated. When did Lane

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: know he was going to go to LSU? Did he

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: just lead Old miss on this whole time? Was he

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: really conflicted? Was he just lying to your face, you

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: don't know, you think you know, you don't know. I'll

141
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: share in my perspective without betraying confidence. I talked to

142
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Lane a fair amount during this whole ordeal. I never

143
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: once asked him where he was going. Never did that

144
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: because I kind of have fun finding out with the

145
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: rest of you, but talk to him several times. So

146
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: from my vantage point, I think he was pretty conflicted.

147
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: That's why I kept coming on the show, and we

148
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: would do periodic updates about Lane Kiffen and the LSU

149
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: coaching search and the Florida coaching search, and everyone wanted

150
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: these definitive statements, and everyone wanted a prediction. And as

151
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: late as last week, like Brett McMurphy hit us up

152
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: for a feature he was doing for on three dot

153
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: com about just the general prediction of people in the

154
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: college football media space. I didn't even text him back.

155
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: But then Brett, persistent as he is, hit me and said, Hey,

156
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you haven't texted me back yet, So I said, I

157
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: guess LSU. I didn't know. My best guess was LSU.

158
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: The point is that wasn't just fence writing. It was

159
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: from talking to him a whole lot there were just

160
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different perspectives. Okay, So I do think

161
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: that down the stretch a little bit ago, you know,

162
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of days ago, I think it became

163
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: fairly clear in his mind that he was leaving, and

164
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I think that crystallized itself into if I'm leaving, it's

165
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: going to be lsu And then I think the fight

166
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: the final few days was not so much am I

167
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: leaving or not? And this is my personal perspective on this.

168
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: The fight the final few days was am I going

169
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: to be able to stick around here and coach? And

170
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: there were a lot of different takes on that too,

171
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: And I thought yesterday on college game Day, there were

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: some opinions shared that sounded, you know, pretty universal on

173
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: that set, and that is all you got to let

174
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: him coach at Ole Miss. Now, I thought it was laughable.

175
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: I've always thought the notion of him being able to

176
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: stick around at Ole Miss and coach as long as

177
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: he wants to, even though he's taken a job with

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: a rival, was laughable. I told him this, had an

179
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: argument about it, and our opinions just differ on that.

180
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: But I looked at it from the vantage point of

181
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Keith Carter. You know, the one thing that you can't

182
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: accuse Lane of being is really really dishonest. I know

183
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: that comes as a shock to a lot of people,

184
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: but he was pretty forthright in what he had been

185
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: doing the entire time, whether it be his family going

186
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: and checking out property down in Gainesville or Baton Rouge

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: the next day, and what he was considering and where

188
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: his mind was. He was pretty communicative with the administration

189
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: there as far as I know, the entire time. I

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: think he thought that built up a lot of good

191
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: will so that when it came time for him to

192
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: make a decision, if he hit the exit door, that

193
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: that good will and that equity could be cashed in

194
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: in the form of I get to stick around and

195
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: coach this team in the playoff as long as our

196
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: season goes. And I just never thought that was going

197
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: to happen. I expressed that, so it didn't happen. And

198
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: anyone who thought that was going to happen, I mean

199
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: really genuinely thought that was going to happen. I just

200
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: ask why, why did you ever think that was going

201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: to happen. Put yourself not in the shoes of Lane

202
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Kiffin or a fan. Put yourself in the shoes of

203
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Keith Carter, the athletic director there, like why I could

204
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: never come up with an answer. I could come up

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of answers as to why it wouldn't

206
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: happen if I were him, Why I wouldn't allow it

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: to happen. I think, you know, there was another path

208
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: where Lane could have said, I'm just not giving you

209
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: a decision by your deadline, in which case I thought

210
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: they may suspend him with pay, because I didn't think

211
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: that there was ever going to be a situation where

212
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: he was just allowed to stick around there. So the

213
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: big questions, now that this is in our rearview mirror,

214
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: is not where does old Miss go? They snapped their

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: fingers and said, Pete Golding, you're our new head coach.

216
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: Penn State's been wandering in the woods behind our studio

217
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: for the better part of two months trying to find

218
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: a coach. Ole Miss executed a coaching search in about

219
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: four hours today. It turns out the replacement was in

220
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: the building the whole time. So well, that's that on

221
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the front of old Miss, Like, congrats, guys, and good

222
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: luck to Pete Golding, and we'll have plenty of time

223
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: to talk about that. But as for Lane at LSU

224
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: staff staff, staff, staff, staff, it's all I ever care

225
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: about when coaches are hired, it's all I ever care about.

226
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: You could do the tom for Nelly, obligatory. I just

227
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: riped this from for Nelly. I assume he gets a

228
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: licensing fee every time I say it great hire. No

229
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: clue where the it'll work out. Now. I have a

230
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: strong suspicion it's going to work out, And I don't

231
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: know what his defensive staff is going to look like there.

232
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: We're live right now, so even as we speak to

233
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: each other, he's in the building down there meeting with,

234
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: among other people, American hero Blake Baker, better known to

235
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: the rest of you as the defensive coordinator at LSU.

236
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: That guy's one of the best in the business. I

237
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: also think he may have head coaching offers because a

238
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of really good G five level programs are opening up.

239
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: So who knows? How does this settle in time? Is

240
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: the other thing I wonder, And this is impossible to

241
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: answer right now. Certainly, if I asked anyone in Oxford, Mississippi,

242
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: he's public enemy number one. He'll never be welcome in

243
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: this city again. And I feel the same way if

244
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: I were you, It may always be that way. I

245
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: don't know. My suspicion is there's a lot of this

246
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: that Lane Kiffin regrets in terms of how it went down.

247
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, Make no mistake. He enjoyed a lot

248
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: of this. You know him. You don't ever have to

249
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: have spoken to Lane Kiff in a single day in

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: your life or shared a room with him to note, Yeah,

251
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: that guy, that guy kind of leaned into some of this.

252
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: Of course he did. Of course I would expect nothing

253
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: less from him. I think there are other parts where,

254
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: of course, you only get to go around the marry

255
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: go around once that he looks back on and says, yeah,

256
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I really wish I would have handled this different that different.

257
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: There's there's no fakeness about what they were able to

258
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: accomplish there over the past six years, especially this past year.

259
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: So you want to remember that fondly. You want to

260
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: be remembered. Finally, you can't walk around talking about valuing

261
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: the legacy you leave behind only to blow torch it

262
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: on the way out and not regret a little bit

263
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: of that. Now, whether you think that's all on you

264
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: or whether you think that's twenty percent on you, eighty

265
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: percent on them. Whatever. Okay, in time, the math gets

266
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of fuzzy. On that, the details and people's memories

267
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: of the details get kind of fuzzy. How do you

268
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: remember all Miss twenty years from now? How does Ole

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Miss remember you twenty years from now? I don't know.

270
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: I do know that LSU plays in Oxford, Mississippi, next season.

271
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: That's what I do know. We could drive there, of course,

272
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: courtesy of Quick Trip. Happy that they have fueled the

273
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: fallon out Lie Tour every week this year and it's

274
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: been a really, really fun ride. I was at a

275
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Quick Trip as recently as three am this morning on

276
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: our way back from Auburn, Alabama, where we were at

277
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl last night, of course fueled by Quick Trip.

278
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. And it's you know, it's not part

279
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: of the tour officially, because the tour is just the

280
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: regular season, but I can report that we will be

281
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: at the SEC Championship game Saturday, and that could be.

282
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: That could be not the last announcement about that game

283
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: this week, mind you, So just stay tuned for that.

284
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: Got a huge crowd watching like sixteen or seventeen thousand

285
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: live viewers. Welcome everyone, Happy to have you. We got

286
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: a long way to go on the show tonight. We

287
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: are live as live can be high a top frigid Nashville, Tennessee.

288
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Just make sure you are subscribed to the channel, because

289
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: this is all we do. When the college football season's over.

290
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: What do we talk about? College football? NBA trade deadline?

291
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: Never heard of her, could not care less respectfully, NFL.

292
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Other folks can handle that. It's just college football around here,

293
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: and we get to do it the way we want

294
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: to because of you subscribing to the channel. Look at that,

295
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: we're dangerously close to five hundred thousand, so we would

296
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: appreciate you getting this over the finish line. All right,

297
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. Let's go up.

298
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State twenty seven Michigan nine. Curse is broken, people,

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: curse is broken. Two and a half chili on this game.

300
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: The snow always adds the obligatory half chili. This game

301
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: got pretty boring, I'm told in the second half. Now.

302
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: The reason I say that sarcastically, it's called Ohio State.

303
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Folks couldn't care less. Boring is beautiful to them. But

304
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: I've seen some of the correspondence from the haters today.

305
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: The haters think I missed on this game, Jesse. The

306
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: haters tuned out after Tuesday last week, And it is

307
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: true that in the Tuesday prediction video I laid out

308
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: a full case for Ohio State to win the game,

309
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: only to pick Michigan because I've been wrong about this

310
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: game the past four years, and I'm really tired of

311
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: looking like a clown. Some people say my picks on

312
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: the game have nothing to do with me looking like

313
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: a clown. I was just born that way, and to that,

314
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I say, shame on you, shame on you. But I

315
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: would also say, what if you're wrong? What if you're

316
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: wrong about it? All you are? I woke up yesterday

317
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: morning and I realized I had done something terrible. I

318
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: had gone against my conscience, and my conscience was Ohio

319
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: State's going to win this game. So I hit up

320
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: front of the program Will Compton, and I said, what

321
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: do I do about this? And I mean, you know

322
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: he's always there for good advice. You got to follow

323
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: your heart. What does your heart tell you? Well, my

324
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: heart tells me Ohio State by fitty today. But I'm

325
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: not going to pick a margin of victory, but I

326
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: do want to pick Ohio State. What do I do? Well, Hey, buddy,

327
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: it's only eleven fifty am. You still got time to

328
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to. I flipped my pick and

329
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: I told him I need you to screenshot it, so

330
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: he screenshatted, and then at the conclusion of the game yesterday,

331
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: which truthfully was a little bit after halftime, he released it.

332
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: And some people said, this doesn't count. I don't care

333
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: if you think it counts, because it's just picking a

334
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: college football game. There are no rules. We can do

335
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: whatever we want to. As it turns out, Ohio State

336
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: could do pretty much whatever they wanted to yesterday. This

337
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: game was not all that complicated, after all the four

338
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: year build up, All they had to do was go

339
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: in there and take care of a couple of padlock stats.

340
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: The first it's a paper popper. It's very simple. As

341
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: we told you tuesday, the team that rushes for the

342
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: most yards in this game has been golden since two

343
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: thousand and one, without fail. The team that leads in

344
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: the rushing category has won every game. Ohio State one

345
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to eighty six Michigan one hundred ball game. The second

346
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: half was especially violent. One ten to negative eight. So yeah,

347
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: that'll get the job done. However, if that's not enough

348
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: for you, if you're listening and saying, oh, maybe Ohio

349
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: State broke one long run and then they turned it over,

350
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: it's not a padlocked stat That wouldn't tell me everything

351
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: I need to know about the game. Ohio State had

352
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: more plays in a drive in the second half without

353
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: communication from the box. By the way, then Michigan had

354
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: the entire second half. They went on a twenty play

355
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: drive eleven minutes fifty six seconds. It was like it

356
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: was like watching Alexander lead an army, but instead of

357
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, in a mountain range somewhere over in the

358
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: Netherlands or Europe, it was well, it was in arbor

359
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: and it was Ryan Day. As it turns out, I

360
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: can see Ryan Day. Just go go kill some really

361
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: really big animal and throw it over him and then

362
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: put a staff in his hand, take his head set

363
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: off because apparently it's not working by that point. Anyway,

364
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. It was straight up pop Warner Julian saying,

365
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: run a play. We got four and a half, we

366
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: got five. Okay, run over here to the side line

367
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: right quick. We're going to call it in to you

368
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: and just go do the same thing again nineteen more times,

369
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: and we'll just never give them the ball back. So yeah,

370
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: it turns out that's also a pretty sound strategy. The

371
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: competitive character of Ohio State's pretty incredible, So I've been

372
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: I've probably been a bigger admirer of that than any

373
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: one thing they've done this year. Julian Sayin's had a

374
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: good year. Maybe he'll win the Heisman. I don't know.

375
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: They've got incredible receiver talent. They've got really good talent everywhere.

376
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: But go back to the first quarter. Oh everyone looks

377
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: at the final twenty seven to nine. History will remember

378
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: this as a blowout. It bordered on a splattering. Put

379
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: one more touchdown on the board. I was ready to

380
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: fire off the tweet. That's how history will remember it.

381
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: But I would like you, since we are, you know,

382
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: about thirty or so hours removed from this game, do

383
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: me a favor and go back in time. You don't

384
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: have to go back to the start of the game,

385
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: go back to midway through the first quarter. Michigan's you know,

386
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of hit him in the mouth just a little bit,

387
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: Jesse said, Probably more like a slap Nevertheless, contact was

388
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: made to Ohio State's face with Michigan's hand figuratively to

389
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: start this game. And I was perusing Twitter. I was

390
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: in my hotel room, getting ready to head over to Auburn,

391
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: and I saw a few people say, uh, oh, this

392
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: feels familiar. Oh looks like it's happening again. Did you

393
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: feel that way? Doesn't appear Ohio State did, But did

394
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: you feel that way? All right? This is where I

395
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: want to talk about competitive character for a second. I

396
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: think it's more important than anything in the box score,

397
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and more important than any statistic. They played like the

398
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: most battle tested team in the country. You've seen those

399
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: teams that have been in a whole bunch of close games,

400
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: so they look totally comfortable when they trail early in

401
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: a game later in the year. Ohio State hasn't been

402
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: that team. Ohio State has trailed virtually none the whole year.

403
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State has held their first twelve opponents to under

404
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: seventeen points. That's the first time any team has done

405
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: that since Florida in nineteen seventy five. Paper popper of

406
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: a stack. And yet you would have watched him yesterday

407
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: and thought, man, this team's playing like their back's been

408
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: against the wall since late September. And the other thing

409
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: they played with is a total collective amnesia, a total

410
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: disregard for recent history. Because not only did they get

411
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: hit a little bit and they trailed early, not only

412
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: that Julian Sant throws a pick, which I'm told was

413
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: impossible for him to do. Not only is all that

414
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: happening and they have no problem with it. They've lost

415
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: the last four. There are serious allegations out there that

416
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with the neck down. It's

417
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: a neck up. It's a mental thing for Ohio State.

418
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: They're like in that position. And look, if the Fox

419
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: cameras would have tuned in at the right time, we

420
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: may have even called a couple of yawns on the

421
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: Ohio State sideline. That's how suspiciously comfortable they felt in

422
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: that position. It's competitive character, it's the vibe, it's the

423
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: environment they create in that building. It's so hard to do.

424
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: It's the hardest thing in the world to do. And

425
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: you may think to yourself, that's not hard at all.

426
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: They've played inferior competition this year. That's easy. No, it's not. No,

427
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: it's it's easy for Ohio State to beat Rutgers on

428
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: US Saturday. That's true, but that's not what I said.

429
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: I didn't say they've beaten a bunch of teams. They've

430
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: beaten a bunch of teams while preserving the characteristics of

431
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: a team that has been in dogfights all year, even

432
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: though they haven't been pressed. It's just in competitive characters

433
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: and saying. Ryan Day may be doing the best job

434
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: coaching that he's ever done this year, and he's getting

435
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: very little credit for it, because well, they don't judge

436
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: until the end of the year if you win a

437
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: national title, and that's when people decide whether you were

438
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: a good coach or not. I know that because this time,

439
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: a calendar year ago, many people didn't think he was

440
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: the right guy for Ohio State period. So we don't

441
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: need to relive that. That's ancient history. Julian's saying zero

442
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: pressures yesterday, it's a little different. It's a little different

443
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: when Michigan can't get consistent pressure and stop the run

444
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: with four it's a little different. The way that game

445
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: plays out. Their defense is amazing. Man, Matt Patricia's higher

446
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: it's so funny. It's again, it's like watching the end

447
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: of this game watching the final score versus how you

448
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: felt six minutes into the game a little bit different. Well,

449
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, when he first got hired, how you felt

450
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: versus how you feel now. It makes you want to

451
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: erase how you felt. It's kind of embarrassing in retrospect

452
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: than anyone ever doubted it, just like it's embarrassing in

453
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: retrospect if you ever thought Michigan had a shot in

454
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: this game early on. Do you know how desirable the

455
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State defensive coordinator position is, or any position on

456
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: their staff is. Ryan Day could have conducted a national

457
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: search and he would have had a hoops hoops of

458
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: defensive personnel in the country beating down his door. There

459
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: are several head coaches at the G five and even

460
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: P four level that would gladly have taken a promotion

461
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: to be the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, because that's

462
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: absolutely what that is. And he went and got Matt Patricia,

463
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: and everyone said, do what now, Matt, do what Matt Patricia?

464
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, he didn't stutter. Yeah, Matt Patricia, And here

465
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: we are. They're better. They're better than they were last year.

466
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: I don't even know how it's possible they just got

467
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of answers. I think it was Joel Klatt

468
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: on the broadcast yesterday. He put it really really well.

469
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: He articulated it really well. He said, while a lot

470
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: of the other contenders down the stretch just leave you

471
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: with more and more questions, this team keeps giving you

472
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: nothing but answers, like quarterback, no doubt, wide receiver that

473
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a doubt offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator. They

474
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: had to replace both check check running back position. I

475
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: was at Auburn last night and they honored the fortieth

476
00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: anniversary of Bo Jackson's Heisman season and it wasn't even

477
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: the most memorable Bo Jackson moment of the day. Yesterday

478
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: watching Ohio State with a tailback named Bo Jackson, that

479
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: was more memorable. All due respect to Bo at Auburn,

480
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but there hasn't been a wake up call all year. Like,

481
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: if you're trying to pick them apart, the one thing

482
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: you have to cling to is there's a wake up

483
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: call coming where someone finally gets them out into the

484
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: deep end into the fourth quarter and you know they're

485
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: good enough and they specifically match up well enough, and

486
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: you know maybe that's like Oregon. Last year, Ohio State

487
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: emphatically did that to Oregon, and it didn't matter that

488
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: they were the one seed and they were undefeated, because

489
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: once you lose in the playoffs, you're out. Short of that,

490
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: if Ohio State's not going to be vulnerable, then the window,

491
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: you know, the the field of who can win the

492
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: national title is very very very small and maybe one

493
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: team deep. Honestly, as for the Michigan side of things,

494
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: I understand a lot of folks who were saying today,

495
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: this really kind of deflates Sharon more and I get that.

496
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: I kind of feel that way. I think it's fair

497
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: to feel that way. That doesn't mean give up on him,

498
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean sell on him. It's nothing like that.

499
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: But this was kind of what Sharon Moore had He

500
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: had either been a part of the staves or been

501
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: a head coach of the Michigan staffs that were part

502
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: of this four year run. And now that run is done.

503
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: So outside of that, you look around and they had

504
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: a bad year last year other than the Ohio State

505
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: win at the end of the year in the Bama

506
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Bowl Game, but outside of that, there was nothing to

507
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: write home about. And this year, they're gonna finish nine

508
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: to three. But they lost the three biggest games yesterday

509
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: plus the Oklahoma game plus the USC game. In those

510
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: three games they score thirteen, thirteen, and nine. So what

511
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: is Sharon Moore gonna become? Like? What's the best version

512
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: of Michigan under Sharon Moore? Totally fair question. The Signetti

513
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: curse is real, by the way, with anyone who's asking

514
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: for patients. I mean, you got a guy come in

515
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: the door at Indiana and light the world on fire immediately,

516
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: and no one has patience for you anymore. At Michigan

517
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: to take several years to build a winner. Is that fair?

518
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Probably not? Is it reality? Yes? It is Big Ten

519
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Championship game Saturday. Speaking of Indiana, they are five and

520
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: a half point dogs against Ohio State. Big week, guys,

521
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: it's conference championship week. Yes, But I just we got

522
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: a live show Friday in Atlanta. I'll talk about that later.

523
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: We'll be in New York Thursday doing some stuff with ESPM.

524
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: We'll still be back in Nashville by the time the

525
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: show is supposed to air that night. Just a lot

526
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: going on. Thank you so much for making it possible.

527
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. I mean,

528
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: that's what I enjoy or what I appreciate rather more

529
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: than anything, well, that helps us do all this stuff.

530
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: John summer al is the new head coach at Florida.

531
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: Now they were in the Lane Kiffin sweepstakes. So if

532
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna go from Lane Kiffin to pretty much anyone

533
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: else who was available in this coaching cycle, I guess

534
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: that you're going to be disappointed. You shouldn't be disappointed

535
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: about John Sumrall. Truthfully, many of you don't know a

536
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: lot about John Sumraw, which is totally fine. Others of you,

537
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: pretty much the rest of you are scarred in the

538
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: Florida fan base because you just remember going to the

539
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: G five ranks in the state of Louisiana and bringing

540
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: in a guy who ultimately failed. So I have taken

541
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: a totally new approach on head coaching hires ever since

542
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: Freezing Cold takes through my old Jonathan Smith take in

543
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: my face earlier today where I said, and I quote,

544
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Smith will win at Michigan State. He got fired

545
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: today unceremoniously. I'm not predicting anything with coaching hires anymore.

546
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna predict it with Lane. Maybe it'll

547
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: work out. I guess it'll work out. But I can

548
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: give personal testimony for who you're hiring. I can give

549
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: my personal feel on the hires. So John Sumrall is

550
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: going to be compared to Billy Napier Lazily because he's

551
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: from the G five ranks in the state of Louisiana.

552
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: And hey, man, we just we just hired a guy

553
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: from the G five and since he didn't work out,

554
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: no G five coach could ever work out at Florida. Now,

555
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: of course that's pretty insane and pretty low hanging fruit thinking.

556
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, there are ways, there are

557
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: scenarios where John Sumrall doesn't work out at Florida. If

558
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: John Somemral doesn't work out of Florida, it's not going

559
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: to be because of where he came from. It's going

560
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: to be because of what he lacks. And that could

561
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: go as much as him coming from the NFL as

562
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: it could from him coming from high school. He could

563
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: have been a head coach in the Big Ten. Does

564
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: he have the critical factors and characteristics that it takes

565
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: to win at Florida? So I know John, So I've

566
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: been around him, so I know some of the things.

567
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: He has very very much a type a, very much

568
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: an alpha personality. Now Will muss Champ is too, so

569
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't guarantee anything at Florida. He's very

570
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: intentional with the way he structures his program. I think

571
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: most importantly, he's very flexible. So you know, you could

572
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: you could find, especially a young head coach's resume, and

573
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: you can pick it apart and say, oh, look look

574
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: at that stat Look at this stat. Well, this is

575
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: not a guy who is unflinchingly rigid. He's rigid towards

576
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: one thing, and that's winning. Outside of that, John Sumrral

577
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: is the kind of guy who could go about things

578
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: one way one year, and if it delivers C minus results,

579
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: wadded up, throw it in the garbage, say we're gonna

580
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: do it a totally different way, if that means me

581
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: changing my philosophy, if it means me hiring new staffers.

582
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: He's not just totally married to one way of doing things.

583
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: He's married to winning as a concept. That's what he's

584
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: married to. But the other important note is he's ascending.

585
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: So it's my personal opinion that some araw is going

586
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: to be a big name in college football for a

587
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: long time. I think most people who are around him

588
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: feel that way. But he's got a pretty infectious personality.

589
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: So there are guys who totally suck at football who

590
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: have infectious personalities who could fool you into believing in them.

591
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: So it doesn't match. Just cause someone likes you doesn't

592
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: mean you're a good football coach. I actually think he

593
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: is a likable good football coach. Likable not in a

594
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: sense that he's cuddly or warm or you know, overly

595
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: fun to be around. I mean, there's nothing wrong with

596
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: being around John Someraw, but John Somemraw could also stick

597
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: a knife in the side of your neck if it

598
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: means getting an extra three points to win a game,

599
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: which is the kind of attitude that I would want

600
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: if I were a Florida fan. He walks in knowing

601
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the score of them. Though. What I will tell you

602
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: in talking to him a couple of times over the

603
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: past week is he's keenly aware of the vibe around Florida.

604
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: He is not stupid. He is keenly aware that they

605
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: wanted Lane Kiffin there and they didn't get him, and

606
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: they got him instead. John Someral is the head coach

607
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: at Florida, and he is keenly aware of who the

608
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: last head coach was at Florida, and he is keenly

609
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: aware of what level of football he came from, what

610
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: state he came from, and what he failed to do,

611
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: And it is only natural to draw the conclusion that

612
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: the fan base will be very skeptical when they go

613
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: that route again. He knows all that, I know because

614
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: he's told me he knows all that, and so he's

615
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: the kind of guy who says it before you have

616
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: to say it now. I don't think for us for

617
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: a moment that it gives him any hesitance in taking

618
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: the job or having full confidence that he can do

619
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: the job. And I think in very very short order

620
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: Florida folks will buy into it, and not just because

621
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: you have no other choice. I think Florida folks will

622
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: buy into John Somerawl because he will get a really,

623
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: really good staff in place down there and they'll execute

624
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: the vision. And I think he'll win there. Absolutely think

625
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: he'll win there. I think there was a reason why

626
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: his name was involved in every one of these coaching searches,

627
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: and it's not just because his representation's really good at

628
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: floating his name out there. It's because a lot of

629
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: people view him as the next big thing in coaching circles.

630
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: So here's the other thing I'll just ask, And this

631
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: is out of my control, it's out of John some

632
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Raw's control. Really, is Florida going to be what Florida

633
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: is supposed to be? Very very open ended question. There

634
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: is a working theory out there, and I really can't

635
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: prove the validity of this. I know everyone has their theories.

636
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm there's a working theory out there that the reason

637
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin sort of looked at Florida and then looked

638
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: past Florida was because when they raised the hood on

639
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: the program, they didn't really like what was inside the engine.

640
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: There were some things that were turn offs. Now, anytime

641
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: he asked people to give you specifics, they him har

642
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: around as me. Mal would say, well, if that is

643
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: the state of affairs down there, then Florida's got to

644
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: make its mind up how serious Florida is about winning

645
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: football games and being a successful program. Because I don't

646
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: really care who you just hired if you don't have

647
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: the under the hood portion in a state of comparability

648
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: to the other big time programs in the SEC. It

649
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's in the driver. So I say that

650
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of open ended because I think it's a little

651
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: unfair to just throw that stuff out. Oh man, Florida

652
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: is a mess. Really give me particulars. I don't have them.

653
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: Maybe not say that then, So I ask the question,

654
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: it's Florida what Florida is supposed to be. If Florida

655
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: is what Florida is supposed to be from a support standpoint,

656
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: from an investment standpoint, then I think John summerl will

657
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: win there. I think there is a world where you

658
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: look around three or four years from now and say,

659
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: you know, in retrospect, I think we got the best

660
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: guy for the job, regardless of who we originally chased.

661
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: Maybe we end up getting the best guy for the job.

662
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: Wouldn't shot me at all, because nothing that happens in

663
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: coaching hires ever shocks me anymore. Let's move on, a

664
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: ton of show. I have a ton of show in

665
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: my hand. Thank you for joining in live. Jesse tells

666
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: me it's our most watched live show, highest traffic show ever,

667
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: which is crazy because we're thirty four minutes in. Subscribe

668
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: to the channel if you haven't already. I was at

669
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl last night, Bam Auburn twenty seven to twenty.

670
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: Quick trip fueled us all the way down there and

671
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: fueled us all the way home. Look, you tell me

672
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: this game is going to be seventeen to nothing Alabama

673
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: at any point, I tell you ballgame. I said that

674
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: on the sideline last night, BAMA goes up seventeen to nothing.

675
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I leaned over to Savannah State and said, this one

676
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: could get out of hand. In fact, I said, this

677
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: one's probably over right now. Truth be told, get through

678
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: four quarters. I don't know that Auburn's going to put

679
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: seventeen on the board. Well, they ended up putting twenty

680
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: on the board, and they ended up tying the game,

681
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: and it stunned me. But Alabama did find a way.

682
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: I would give this for chi life. There was some

683
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: debate internally because esthetically it wasn't always the most pleasing

684
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: of games. But when you combine one possession and it

685
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: goes down to the wire, it is a rivalry game.

686
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Jorden Hair Stadium at night, Questions about whether the venue

687
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: is haunted, Questions about it. I've been there many a

688
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: time for Minnie and Iron Bowl, and I can't totally

689
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: disprove it. And that's where I'll leave that. This does

690
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: make six in a row for Alabama, and that stat

691
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of snuck up on me. Like I remember back

692
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: in the day Auburn won six in a row against

693
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: Alabama and it was like a huge marketing campaign. I mean,

694
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: Tommy Tubberville, like, how many fingers can I hold up now?

695
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: Four or five? Oh? Look, I need a second hand.

696
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even know Alabama had five in a row.

697
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: They're just kind of tossed into the stat sheet at

698
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: the end of the game, like, uh, here's they hand

699
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: you a quickie statistics sheet after the games and just

700
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: a little footnote at the bottom, this makes six in

701
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: a row. And I said, wait a second, twenty's one, two, three, four, five.

702
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: I guess it does. Well. We ended up kind of

703
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: being right on the money about the game. Profile Remember Tuesday,

704
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: when we predicted the game, Pickbama to win, Pickbama to cover.

705
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: I said, it really feels like the Oklahoma game for Alabama,

706
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: And that is exactly how Alabama. Alabama won this game

707
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: the same way Oklahoma beat Alabama. That's exactly how this

708
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: went down because Bama was plus two in the turnover battle,

709
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: OHU was plus three against them, and therefore it didn't

710
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: matter that oh you got out gained. It didn't matter

711
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: matter that a bunch of the other stat categories leaned

712
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: Alabama because they critical one did not well last night.

713
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: It turned out not to matter that Auburn had a

714
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: four to eleven to two eighty total yardage edge or

715
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: a two point fifty nine to one twenty seven passing edge,

716
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: which is wild one twenty two my bad third down.

717
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: Auburn was eight of nineteen, Bama was four of seventeen.

718
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: None of it matters because your plus two turnovers, and

719
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: you know, you may call that randomized, which it kind

720
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: of is. But Jesse, weren't there like four fumbles that

721
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: Auburn put on the deck and Bama only got one

722
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: of them? What game does that sound like? That sounds

723
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: exactly like when they played Oklahoma the other day there

724
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: were minus three turnovers. But anyone who watched the game

725
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: knows Bama was lucky to only be minus three because

726
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: there were several other balls got put on the deck

727
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: and got punched out that they happened to recover. So

728
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: forget the idealistic approach to the Alabama season. That's out

729
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 1: the window. You gotta be realistic now. I know everyone

730
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: keeps watching them, Bama fans keep watching them and saying, man,

731
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: why can't we just explode? Why can't this offense just explode? Well,

732
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: probably because you're beat to death. Ryan Williams has been

733
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: an afterthought, just a total ghost. Teams don't really respect

734
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: your deep ball because you can't complete it consistently enough.

735
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: They know you're not going to run the ball to

736
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: beat them, and so what does that leave. It leaves

737
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: a very very limited toolbox. And I mean they're having

738
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: a formation and scheme their ways to first down. I

739
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: got to run nine miles to get two yards on

740
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: some of these third and fourth critical downs. But they're

741
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: doing it, so you got to give them credit. Ty Simpson,

742
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious. Far less than one hundred

743
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: percent running back room beat to das. Jam Miller went

744
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: out of this game last night. He left the stadium

745
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: on crutches. Josh Quavis, I thought his absence was really

746
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: felt in this game last night. I said last week,

747
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: I thought he's been maybe their third or fourth most

748
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: important offensive player. So no, timetable on when they'll get

749
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: him back or if there is one, I haven't seen it.

750
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: But they found a way to get the job done.

751
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, bam, because of winning that string of games

752
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: they won. Was not in a situation where they needed

753
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: style points. They just needed to win the game they did.

754
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: If you told me Friday they're gonna score twenty seven points,

755
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I would have cashed it. That's gonna be good enough

756
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: to win. And it was good enough to win, not

757
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: by much, but good enough to win. Pretty inexcusable effort

758
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: from Auburn. I gotta be real. You knew you were limited.

759
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: You got the interim head coach over there. He's coaching

760
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: for his life. DJ Diurkin, you're starting. I mean it's

761
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna be backup quarterback because it has been all year,

762
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: because quarterback's been a disaster for them. But you just

763
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: had drops everywhere, and Ashton Daniels was really the only

764
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: ground game that they had. And they had a chance,

765
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: even after all that, to tie this game. And they

766
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: really really had a chance in about the i'd say

767
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: like the middle eight parts of the game. Towards halftime.

768
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: They had two ten play drives to end the first half.

769
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: Got six points off of them, and that really, I

770
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: know that didn't end the game because they went on

771
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: to tie it. That to me is the turning point

772
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: in that game. So with Bama, do we just keep

773
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: waiting because it's SEC Championship game week, which they are

774
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: playing in, by the way, so congrats to them. There's

775
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: no more waiting for their offense to click. The only

776
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: thing that can make their offense click, you know, to

777
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: the degree that you're talking about when you say that

778
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: at this point would be they need time off. They

779
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: they need to rest, they need time to heal, get

780
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: guys back. Until then, this is gonna be the vibe

781
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: it is. It is. It is duct tape, it is bubblegum,

782
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: it is paper clipping your way to offensive production. Pass

783
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: pro was ugh little effie last night left a little

784
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: something to be desired. It's a tough building to play in, though,

785
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: But every game for Alabama's going to be an emergency landing.

786
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: Right now. You get it up in the air and

787
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be alarm bells going off all over the place,

788
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: and the meter is gonna be off the charts, and

789
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have sirens, and you're gonna have panic and

790
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna have papers flying around all over the place.

791
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: There will be a path to landing the thing every week.

792
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: You got good enough players, you got a good enough staff.

793
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: They're very resilient. There will be a path, but they've

794
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: got to thread the needle. It's a very low margin

795
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: for era team right now. It is very much a

796
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: tightrope walk. There's so much labor that goes into every

797
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: first down right now, but it's there, it's on the table.

798
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 1: They're a two and a half point dog. I think

799
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: against Georgia's Saturday, there will be a path there. George

800
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: just beat to death too, Okay, So it's like a

801
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: mass unit going into Atlanta against another one, and the

802
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: one who can survive basically and keep eleven on the field,

803
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: the entire game has a decent shot at winning Iron Bowl.

804
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Always a memorable experience. Love that thing at night. Make

805
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: sure make sure you experience that one now. I'm mentioned

806
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game. So that's going down this Saturday

807
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. We'll be there and there will be some

808
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 1: details on that game coming up soon. I think gonna

809
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: be pretty exciting. But as for the things that I

810
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: can talk about right now, Georgia. You're locked in. You

811
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be there. Bama, You're locked in. You

812
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be there. Many of you are going

813
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: to be in Atlanta that Friday night before this is

814
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: when we push this event. Friday night, seven pm the

815
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Buckhead Theater and Buckhead, Georgia, which is just north of Atlanta.

816
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: We have our first ever full live show. Not a

817
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: live show in a sense like I'm doing right now.

818
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean a live event. I mean special guests on stage.

819
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean not broadcast anywhere. So the only way that

820
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: you see it is by being there in person, very interactive,

821
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: past the mic, around the audience, a lot of back

822
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: and forth. I normally only do that with students in

823
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: college classes. Exclusive merch that I can't even get my

824
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: hands on yet. They're gonna be quick trip giveaways galore,

825
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of giveaways. It's going to

826
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: be a fun night. Tickets are available now. We have

827
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: a very very limited amount left. I don't expect these

828
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: still last all week, so I would highly advise you

829
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: if you want to be there, get in now. Paytstatemateial

830
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: dot com. You'll see the live event tab there. We're

831
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: looking very very forward to that. Look. I mean, we

832
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: didn't even know what size of venue to book in retrospect.

833
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: Now we know we can book bigger venues. But we'll

834
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: get a really really good crowd in there and have

835
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: a lot of fun Friday night. Let's roll on, Jesse.

836
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a good pace. Now, we already thought

837
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: we would have been an hour in. I see some

838
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: money coming in on the under right now, two hours,

839
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: we'll see got a big crowd watching live. Just make

840
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: sure you guys are subscribed. That's it. That's all, okay,

841
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm done asking back to the show. Alex Golish to Auburn.

842
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: This news got me more excited than Lane kiffinto LSU today.

843
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: It's not a bigger higher at least on the surface,

844
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: but we kind of had a pretty good feeling Lane

845
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: was going to LSU. I didn't think last night Alex

846
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: Golish was going to Auburn. I thought it was gonna

847
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: be DJ Durkin. Auburn totally botched their coaching search this

848
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: week at the eleventh hour, and I was so confident,

849
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: and I was so complimentary that Auburn had gotten the

850
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: job done and they had gotten it to the finish

851
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: line because they had and then they tripped all over

852
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: themselves and I really really thought they'd screwed themselves. I

853
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: was very disappointed in Auburn. And then they picked themselves

854
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: up and they got over the finish line, and it

855
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: was like watching arm again. It's like you got to

856
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: go land the shuttle on the asteroid and there's way

857
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: more tail to breathe than you ever thought, and the

858
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: other shuttle gets blown to bits and it's just you

859
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: and the glass is cracking and everything, and we landed

860
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: it somehow. Now you still got to drill the hole

861
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: and plant the nuclear weapons and get out and blow

862
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: it up, and so you know, there's still a lot

863
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: of work to be done. But at least you landed

864
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: on the asteroid. At least Auburn got a really good

865
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: head coach that most of you don't even know. Most

866
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: Auburn fans did not wake up this morning intimately familiar

867
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: with Alex Scolish. That's okay. Will he win a national

868
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: championship at Auburn? Guarantee you will? Nope, Nope, I don't

869
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: guarantee it. I don't think legally I can do that.

870
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: Will he win an sec championship one hundred percent. Nope, nope,

871
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm told I can't do that either. I got no

872
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: clue if he's gonna win there. I am irrationally excited

873
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: though about Alex Scholish at Auburn. I know what works

874
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: at Auburn. I grew up around Auburn. We've seen a

875
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of what doesn't work at Auburn, haven't we,

876
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Yes we have. You don't even have

877
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: to be an Auburn fan to shake your head. The

878
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: difference is Auburn people are shaking their heads frowning, whereas

879
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: LSU and Bama and Georgia folks are shaking their heads laughing. Boy,

880
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: rival fans have enjoyed this stretch of Auburn football, So

881
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: anytime you make a new hire, they get a little

882
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: bit nervous because the last thing that the league wants

883
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: is for Auburn to figure itself out. That's not fun

884
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: for anyone. This guy will be so universally adored there

885
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: within a year that I can't really put into words

886
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: how good a fit he will be. The ultimate fit

887
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: is winning games. So it doesn't matter how much you're

888
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: liked if you don't win games, you will be hated.

889
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: That is the nature of this business. You're paid seven

890
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: to eight figures per year in exchange for you having

891
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: some thick skin. We all understand that. I don't know

892
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: you have to say that, but not a lot is

893
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: known about him. I think you will come to know

894
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: him very quickly. He'll be the kind of guy that

895
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: every couple of weeks you hear a SoundBite from and

896
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: you go, man, dude, I kind of wish that was

897
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: my head coach. I wish my head coach sounded a

898
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: little bit more like that. Now. I'm going to say it,

899
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: like I've already said two times, I'm gonna say it

900
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: a third time. Gotta win, gotta win. But I will

901
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: tell you one of the things I'll guarantee you, quarterback

902
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: is not going to be a problem at Auburn much longer.

903
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the list right now. It sounds a

904
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: little something like this. Kyle Frasier, Clinton Moseley, Jonathan Wallace,

905
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: Nick Marshall, Jeremy Johnson, Sewn White, Jared Stidham, bad Bo Nicks, TJ. Finley,

906
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: Robbie ash For, Peyton Thorne, Hank Brown, Jackson, Arnold Ashton, Daniels. Yeah,

907
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: that's coming to an end. They may lose games fifty

908
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: to forty seven, it won't because they can't score anymore.

909
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: So that part that nightmare is gonna be over quarterback development,

910
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: quarterback play. That won't be in question much longer. With

911
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: Alex Goldis being the head coach at Auburn, I wonder

912
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: how he's gonna do though. Man, the pressure cooker that

913
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: is Auburn. You know, Josh, this is the only job

914
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: in the SEC where you're guaranteed to face Georgia and

915
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: Alabama every year, Gotta play the Iron Bowl every year,

916
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: Gotta go between the hedges every other year. I don't

917
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: know a lot of expectations on Alex Golish. I just thought,

918
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: can he rise to the occasion or is he gonna

919
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: melt under the pressure. I don't know if we have

920
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: any other coaches in the SEC that fled the Soviet

921
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: Union amidst a military coup in nineteen ninety one with

922
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars in their pocket. But they've got one

923
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: at Auburn now. So there's a sneaking suspicion in my

924
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: mind that he's going to be okay with the pressure.

925
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: I just get the feeling that of all the coaches

926
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: in the SEC that have proper perspective on life and pressure,

927
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: something tells me out it's Goldish has it. Something tells

928
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: me he has it. I will also tell you, much

929
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: like I said, with some role, there were two coaches

930
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: today that were hired that I fully believe would put

931
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: a knife in the side of someone's neck to win

932
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: a game. That's the other one. That's the other one.

933
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: We'll go down We'll go down there eventually in the spring,

934
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: and we'll have him on the show and we'll start

935
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: to showcase a little bit of his personality. I'd imagine

936
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: you guys will see press conferences before them. Was that

937
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Matt Berry? Is that Matt Berry's first ever appearance on

938
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: the show? Out of nowhere? Matt Berry like stinging from

939
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: the rafters. The rest of the league has loved this stretch.

940
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: Like I just said, Auburn has not been good. I

941
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: stood on the sideline last night and just shook my

942
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: head at what I know that place can be, and

943
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: it hasn't been. Auburn is a very unique place. Some

944
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: most college football programs, most fan bases claim their places unique.

945
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: A few of them actually are Auburn's one of them.

946
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: I grew up very close to there. I know about Auburn.

947
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: It's a very unique place, but only when they're winning.

948
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: When they're losing, they just have the same complaints everyone

949
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: else does. For some reason, it's been really really hard

950
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: for the powers that be to get out of their

951
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: collective way and allow Auburn to be Auburn and for

952
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: the natural resources there to be properly leveraged and utilized.

953
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: In the rare exceptions in Auburn history where they have been,

954
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: it's been this really really unique night marriage place to

955
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: go play. There's this very unique energy. I really don't

956
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: know how to quantify or verbalize this. There's always been

957
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: like a unique vibe and energy around the Auburn fan

958
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: base itself. Again, I don't know if you've been around

959
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: it when they're good, you know what I mean. If

960
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: you haven't been around it, I'm probably wasting my time

961
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: because you would just have to experience it anyway. If

962
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: Alex Golish is the kind of guy that goes in

963
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: there and their scoring points, like, I think that although

964
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: in the past, like Auburn has won with like high

965
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: level defensive play, I really view an offensive guy. I

966
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: really view an innovator, a really really aggressive, like nobs

967
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: approach type offensive innovator that's really good with quarterbacks and

968
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: really understands how to ingrain himself into the DNA of

969
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: that community. That's the guy who's gonna win there. Alex

970
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: Golish is that guy. It's no guarantee that he's gonna win.

971
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: I think he's that guy. They will love him there.

972
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: Auburn folks will love Alex. And I don't care if

973
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: you had to enter his name into Wikipedia today and

974
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: you don't wan anything. You don't know anything about him.

975
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: You've got several months before you play a meaningful football

976
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: game again. You got time to learn who he is.

977
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that higher. I'm very excited about that higher.

978
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: I think that it could have gone so bad. Man,

979
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: I can't reiterate this enough. All Right, Auburn, they deserve

980
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: some credit for getting themselves towards the finish line with

981
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: John Sumrall. They deserve a mountain of criticism for fumbling

982
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: it at the eleventh hour. And I think it was

983
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: going to be Dj Diurkin. I thought as recently as

984
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: yesterday Dj Diurkin was going to be the head coach there,

985
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: and this is no disrespect towards him. Auburn needed more

986
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: than that. I think they got more than that with Alex.

987
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: And it could be a situation where you just stumble backwards,

988
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: tripping over yourself over the finish line. But then you

989
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: look up and what we want? Oh, well we won.

990
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: If you win, it doesn't matter. No one remembers how

991
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: rocky the final approach to the landing was as long

992
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: as you landed. A lot of plane metaphors on the

993
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: show tonight, a surprising amount of them when it comes

994
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: to coaching hires. I love that, dude. I love the

995
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: fit there. There was a lot of talk about Alex

996
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: Golish in Arkansas. Al's very lukewarm on it. Alex Golish

997
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: and Auburn. I'm all in on. I'm all in on

998
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: that as I am, or as am I as I

999
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: shall as we are on Academy sports and outdoors. Bradley

1000
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: still thought I was talking about Auburn. No, I'm talking

1001
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: about Academy, multiple academies in the Auburn, Alabama area. I

1002
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: know because I was there last night and we saw

1003
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: many of them appreciate Academy. They've been a longtime partner

1004
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: of the show. It's getting cold outside even down there.

1005
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: Last night it was like forty five degrees, which is

1006
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: basically the Arctic tundra. If you grew up where I'm from.

1007
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: So I wore a pea coat last night, That's how

1008
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: much I've not evolved. I would call that regression professionally,

1009
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,959
Speaker 1: but or personally. But I wore one last night. Didn't

1010
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: get it from Academy. My point is I needed cold

1011
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: weather gear, and I really humiliated myself wearing that thing

1012
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: when I should have just gone to academy. I'm kidding,

1013
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I appreciate certain someone who dressed me last

1014
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 1: night because I couldn't dress myself. But if I didn't

1015
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: have Savannah State around, I could have gone to Academy

1016
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: and they would have been totally fine. They would have

1017
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: hooked me up. They can hook you up. And you

1018
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: got winter sports coming up, You've got Christmas coming up,

1019
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: like hello, Everyone needs things in their lives. It could

1020
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: be a baseball glove for the spring. It could be

1021
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: a packet of big league chew. It could be both,

1022
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: probably as both. They got it Academy Academy dot com.

1023
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: If you can't get there in person. We got so

1024
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: much show left, so much show left. Let's continue. Several

1025
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: more takeaways from yesterday, right quick. Like Vanderbilt just boat

1026
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: race Tennessee in Knoxville, forty five to twenty four. These

1027
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: are not typos. I'm told, five hundred and eighty two

1028
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: total yards what combined? No, no, no, no, just Vandy.

1029
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: They ran for three fourteen on Tennessee. So if you

1030
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: do the math on that, if you start in Knoxville

1031
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: and you run for as many yards as Vandy did,

1032
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: I think you get like halfway back to Nashville. I

1033
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: think thereabouts. Metric system stuff there out rushed him three

1034
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: fourteen to eighty three. This was just thorough second half destruction.

1035
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 1: This was a team that showed up with a little

1036
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: bit of a sugar high, that being Tennessee. And then

1037
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: there was another team that showed up on a mission,

1038
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: and that was Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt's the better team. They emphatically

1039
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: proved that. And it's an absolute shame what the situation

1040
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: looks like it is right now. If I am to

1041
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: believe the Apee pole which dropped Vanderbilt a spot, I'm

1042
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: not kidding about that. They dropped them a spot after

1043
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: this game. If I'm to believe that, and I'm to

1044
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: believe that that pretty consistently reflects the opinion of the

1045
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: playoff committee, then Vanderbilt's going to get no tangible benefit

1046
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: or no tangible reward from this game. And it's a

1047
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: great win. And I am telling you, if you imagine

1048
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: nothing more than a logo switch and you look at

1049
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: that resume, can you slap an LSU logo or you

1050
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: slap a Texas logo on Vanderbilt's resume? I have zeroed

1051
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: out in my mind. They're in the playoff. You know it,

1052
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,240
Speaker 1: I know it. Everyone knows it. And the other shame

1053
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: of it is they beat South Carolina early in the

1054
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: year on the road. South Carolina was eleventh at the time. Well,

1055
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: no one cares anymore because South Carolina's not a top ten,

1056
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: top fifteen team. LSU was number ten. Brian Kelly's still

1057
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: there when they came to Nashville to play Vandy, Vandy

1058
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: beat him, No one cares. You don't get credit for

1059
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: it anymore. LSU season fell off a cliff. Missouri was

1060
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: fifteen when you beat him, and then Missouri's quarterback went

1061
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: out in that game and Missouri season went off the rails.

1062
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: No one cares. You don't get credit for it. So

1063
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: they had a lot of quality wins or so they

1064
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: appeared early midpoint of the season, and specifically South Carolina

1065
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: and LSU did not hold up there into the bargain,

1066
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: and they're as responsible for Vandy not making the playoffs

1067
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: as Vandy is. I mean, Vandy's two losses are at

1068
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: Alabama at Texas. So you keep that ten and two,

1069
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: and you go back to July and you tell anyone

1070
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: Vandy's going ten and two. I'm asking what seed they are,

1071
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: not whether they're going to make the playoff. I'm asking,

1072
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: are we about to see Vandy host a playoff game

1073
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: in Nashville? And right now they need help to get in?

1074
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: Just blows my mind. Man, good for them, though, good

1075
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: for Clark Lean and Vanderbilt and they re signed him.

1076
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: So Clark's staying at Vanderbilt, which means Barton Simmons is

1077
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: staying at Vanderbilt. Our local neighborhood GM here and they

1078
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: are making some recruiting headlines lately as well. I see

1079
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: Oklahoma seventeen, LSU thirteen. The best way I can describe

1080
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: this game for those of you who were not able

1081
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: to view it is Oklahoma totally and completely blew through

1082
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: a red light and did not have to pay the price.

1083
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: We've all done it before. You just go right through

1084
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: a stop sign, you go right through a red light,

1085
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: and it's like nothing happens, and you look back and

1086
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: you go, oh, man, I just ran a red light.

1087
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: It's just my luck. No one was coming, but they

1088
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: could have been. Just like yesterday, when you're in a

1089
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: game with a combined twelve three and ounce, you lose

1090
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: the turnover battle three to one, and you're relying totally

1091
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: on a couple of cap buster plays and a killer defense,

1092
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: which they did and they have. You are playing with fire,

1093
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: especially against what should have been a limp dead body

1094
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: of a team in LSU coming in there, and you

1095
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: mess around and they've got the lee late and you

1096
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: take it. And seventeen thirteen is the final. And look,

1097
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from Oklahoma. Sometimes you mess

1098
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: around and don't have to pay the price. They ran

1099
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: the red light light last night, they don't have to

1100
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: pay the price. And because they went to Tennessee and one,

1101
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: and because they went to Alabama and won, and because

1102
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: they beat Missouri last week. They're good. They're in the playoff.

1103
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: I think case closed, but technically we have to wait

1104
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: and see. Oregon twenty six Washington fourteen. Did you notice

1105
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,479
Speaker 1: how quiet this game was yesterday? No one really talked

1106
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: about it, and that is a good thing. Quiet is

1107
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: very good, and so is Malik Benson. Malik Benson is

1108
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: like the Oregon poster for talent acquisition, Marshall Malcow does

1109
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: not need my advice. Dan Landing does not need my advice.

1110
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,919
Speaker 1: Maybe they need my advice, you know what, I'll send

1111
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: it anyway. That guy needs to be put on the

1112
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: cover of any kind of art or literature that you're

1113
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: sending out to guys. Cause Malik Benson wasn't an organ recruit.

1114
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: He was a Bama recruit, and he went to Bama,

1115
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't do a whole lot. Then Florida State got him

1116
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: and he didn't do anything there, and then Oregon got him.

1117
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: So Bama and Florida State had shots. And yet it's

1118
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Oregon where he's going off five cats, She's one hundred

1119
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown yesterday. They're gonna get a

1120
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: home playoff game at Oregon. They went on the road

1121
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: this year and beat Penn State, beat Iowa, and beat Washington.

1122
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: And I know people in the South look at that

1123
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: and turn their nose up at it. Those are very,

1124
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: very hard places to go, just like you guys talk

1125
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: about South Carolina even when they're bad, that's a tough

1126
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: place to play. Well, Washington's a whole lot better than

1127
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina this year, and so that's a tough place

1128
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: to play with a half decent team. And Oregon took

1129
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: care of business. Penn State. I think we all know

1130
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: that was a different cup of tea earlier in the

1131
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: year than they were late in the year. Although I

1132
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: think you'll be shocked to hear what I'm about to

1133
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: say in just a second about Penn State as it

1134
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: relates to the acc They got three weeks now at

1135
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: Oregon one two, three weeks to get healed up. Are

1136
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: we gonna get more? Back to Coreyan Moore, You're gonna

1137
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: be okay. Evan Stewart, We're gonna see him again, Gary Bryant,

1138
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: host of other guys battling bumps and bruises and worse.

1139
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: Three weeks and then it's a playoff time in Eugene, Oregon.

1140
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: You may be thinking to yourself. We're almost an hour

1141
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: into the show, and yet suspicious in her absence is

1142
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: a certain guest that we have on from time to time.

1143
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for anything other than my chapstick. Press

1144
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: can't find it. Oh, hold on, I don't want chapped

1145
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: lips for the Sarah McLachlan Special. You know how it

1146
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: is so supply. Look, I'm not gonna beat around the bush.

1147
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: There's only one place I could go for the Sarah

1148
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: McLachlan Special. It's not a program, it's an entire conference,

1149
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: or at least something that used to be a conference.

1150
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: The ACC is the Sarah McLachlan Special. A team from

1151
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Texas lost late at night in California and it has

1152
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: potentially cost the Atlantic Coast Conference a spot in the playoffs.

1153
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: That is the realignment hell that we have found ourselves

1154
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: in the doomsday scenario for the ACC, once thought to

1155
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: be dead, is actually very much alive. We are a

1156
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: duke win away in the ACC championship game from that

1157
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: conference potentially being shut out of the playoffs. What that's

1158
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: not possible? Yes it is, Yes, it is. It is

1159
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: very possible. Fan Duel hit me up before the show

1160
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: and they would like to inform you, to really hammer

1161
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: home the current state of affairs in the ACC that

1162
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: no matter whether Virginia wins the ACC Championship or Duke

1163
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: wins the ACC Championship, either of them would be over

1164
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: a field goal underdog against Penn State. Penn State going

1165
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: to a bowl game, I can't even remember. Virginia one

1166
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: half of the ACC Championship game. Found their way there

1167
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: by playing NC State and losing but not calling it

1168
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: a conference game, and then otherwise avoiding number two, number three,

1169
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: number four, and number five in the league standings, because

1170
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: when you have thirty seven teams in your league, that's

1171
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: how schedules can look. Ladies and gentlemen, the ACC is

1172
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: on the precipice of fall, totally off the playoff cliff,

1173
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: and they have no one but themselves to blame. The

1174
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: ACC is this week's Sarah McLaughlin's special Never thought I'd

1175
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: see the day. The Big Twelve is pretty straightforward. Texas

1176
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Tech legally assaulted West Virginia forty nine to zhing yesterday.

1177
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: They are I thirteen and a half point favorite against

1178
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: BYU in the Big Twelve Championship game this Saturday. I

1179
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: think that that is one of the few chaos scenarios

1180
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: that we'll talk about later. If Texas Tech wins that thing,

1181
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty straightforward. The only thing we wonder is what

1182
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: do they get a five seed? Do they actually get

1183
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: into the top four and get a first round by

1184
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: remains to be seen, But I do want to point

1185
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: this out before we move on. I just I know

1186
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: it was very sleepy, and it was off the radar,

1187
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: and it was in Oklahoma State, and no one cares.

1188
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: It is my proud duty to inform you that Iowa

1189
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: State finishes this season eight and four. People in Athens,

1190
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Georgia eight and four, big deal people in Columbus, Ohio

1191
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: gross eight and four. Well at Iowa State. They have

1192
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: finished above five hundred in conference play ten times in

1193
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: the entire history of the program. Matt Campbell is responsible

1194
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: for eight of those ten. But by all means, keep

1195
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: looking elsewhere in your coaching searches. You guys seem to

1196
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: have it all figured out. The G five AAC Championship Game,

1197
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: North Texas minus two and a half against Tulane. It's

1198
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Friday Night, the Sun Belt JMU, the Fighting Preses as

1199
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: we call them around here. They're a twenty one and

1200
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: a half point favorite against Troy. And look, if either

1201
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: one of those winners from the AAC is likely going

1202
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to the playoff, JMU may very well go to the playoff,

1203
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: and we are headed for chaos. We are headed for

1204
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: some really difficult conversations when it comes to G five

1205
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: inclusion in the playoff. Don't worry. I'll be here, the

1206
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Michael be on and we'll charge it up and we'll

1207
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: be ready. I'm ready to remind you that as of tomorrow,

1208
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: thirty days in November. Yeah, as of tomorrow, it'll be

1209
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: December this year. We're gonna have Christmas in December. I'm

1210
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: told it'll be the twenty fifth. That's right, Jesse. Yeah,

1211
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Christmas is going to be on the twenty fifth this year.

1212
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: And leading up to that, you have about three or

1213
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: so weeks to hit the pet State store and get

1214
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: loaded up on the tiss. The season collection, all the

1215
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Christmas merch is over. There tis the season to be chuggy.

1216
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: I saw one of those in person last night at

1217
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Jordenhair Stadium. The Merry Christmas, you filthy casual aggravates me

1218
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: a little bit that was not my design, but it

1219
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: is flying off the shelves. So all's well. That ends well.

1220
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Paystammterial dot com is where you can get it. Now.

1221
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you missed the Black Friday sale. Actually,

1222
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: judging by our numbers, most of you didn't miss it.

1223
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: If you did, I have it on good authority that

1224
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow is Cyber Monday. So I have breaking news. This

1225
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: is worth a pop of a paper if you feel

1226
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: like saving twenty five percent off anything in the entire store.

1227
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: That can happen to you starting right now, like right

1228
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: this second. The team is hitting go on this through tomorrow.

1229
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: So about the next what thirty six hours or so,

1230
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit less than that Cyber Monday twenty

1231
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: five percent off store wide. We just slash it. We

1232
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: just Sladh. Bradley's revenue share won't be quite as big,

1233
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: but we're slashing it. There you go, moving on. This

1234
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough It's gonna be a tough segment,

1235
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of you will not be personally affected

1236
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: by this. But Arkansas has a head coach. That's the

1237
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: good news. It may end right there. Ryan Silverfield, the

1238
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Memphis head coach, has taken the Arkansas job. That is

1239
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: official as of today. Now, it is my opinion that

1240
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: this was a cluster of a search. It was tough though,

1241
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: because Arkansas was not in the pole position, so they

1242
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: didn't have the luxury of lsu where as soon as

1243
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,439
Speaker 1: they walk in the room, everyone shuts up and waits

1244
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: for them to make their move, so then then they

1245
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: can make their move. That was not Arkansas. Arkansas was

1246
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: over in the on deck circle and they had to wait.

1247
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: And I mean they thought they had Alex Golish, and

1248
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: then Golish said no, and he took the Arburne job.

1249
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: And I really stung him because I think they thought

1250
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: they had him locked up. But the Arkansas search, if

1251
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: it taught us one thing, it taught us that never

1252
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: say it's done until it's done. Well, it's done now.

1253
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Silverfield is the head coach here. I think you

1254
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: have to be thankful that someone was willing to take

1255
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: the job. I'm not saying that sarcastically. I really do

1256
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: mean that the desirability of this job was really called

1257
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: into question during this search. There are a couple of

1258
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: reasons for that. I'll talk about him in just a second. Thankful, though,

1259
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: is not how I would describe Arkansas fans right now.

1260
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: I told you, oh, you can be thankful. You don't

1261
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: have to be thankful. There was a small but very

1262
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: spirited protest there in the Greater fate Valaria today. I'm

1263
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: told it was mostly peaceful. Some of the participants DMed

1264
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: us mostly peaceful protest. But that says it all. That

1265
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: says it all. I don't really know why you have

1266
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: to hide your identity by putting a paper bag over

1267
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: your head, because everyone feels the same way. It says

1268
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: it on that poster board there. God save Arkansas, and

1269
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: that's really your only hope right now. God has to intervene,

1270
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: busy though he may be, and say I'm going to

1271
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: bless Arkansas, and boy is it needed. It's needed, really,

1272
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: really bad. I hate it for him. This is an

1273
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: extremely passionate, extremely engaged fan base. I've always loved going

1274
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: up there. It's hard to go up there right now

1275
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: to go to a game because we try and go

1276
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: to the biggest games in the country and they haven't

1277
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: been in that in quite a while. But if you man,

1278
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: if you give Arkansas a winner, they'll really be all

1279
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: in the default position here for me is that I'm

1280
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: very skeptical this is going to work out, not because

1281
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Ryan's Silverfield per se. This is

1282
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: nothing against him. You're look like Mike Norvel at Florida

1283
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: State ironically also came from Memphis. Like, I've got nothing

1284
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: against Mike Norvel, but it hasn't really been working out

1285
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: for him there. I'm not doing that thing where I'm saying, oh,

1286
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: if you get a guy from Memphis, it's not gonna work.

1287
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: It just happens both of these guys from Memphis. But

1288
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Silverfield, where's he going? If he's going to a

1289
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: place that's all in, everything's lined up, he just has

1290
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: to knock over the first domino. Well, then it just

1291
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 1: comes down to whether he's good enough football coach at Arkansas.

1292
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: It's it's, regrettably, unfortunately, about a lot more than just

1293
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 1: that right now. So you've got the desirability of the hire,

1294
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: how good is he? And the reality was you were

1295
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: never gonna get what you deemed to be a Grand

1296
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Slam higher because if there was a Grand Slam out there,

1297
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: one of several other better openings would have taken him.

1298
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: So you had to roll the dice a little bit,

1299
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: and they did, And so the desirability was probably always

1300
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: gonna be in a state of uncertainty. But the second part,

1301
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: the commitment level of the program. That's what everyone was

1302
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: talking about behind the scenes. I've never been up for

1303
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the Arkansas job, probably never will. I know people who

1304
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: have been, and that was the talk, and the talk

1305
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: is it was put this way by someone who would know.

1306
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: If you got to say the word if three or

1307
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: four times when it comes to how you win at

1308
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Arkansas or anywhere else, it's probably not a great place

1309
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: to be right now. So that's a good news bad news.

1310
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: The good news is the ifs exist, which means the

1311
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,560
Speaker 1: possibility is there, if the ifs are met in the affirmative,

1312
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: that you can be a big winner. Here's what that

1313
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: sounds like. If the proper resources are in place, and

1314
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: if you get the Tysons and the JB Hunts and

1315
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: the Walmarts of the world on board, therefore, if we

1316
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: can open that recruiting pipeline to Dallas, then we can win. Well,

1317
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: here's the problem with that. If I go there's the

1318
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't control what the big mega donor

1319
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: bases up there do with their money. I can try

1320
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: to convince them what to do with their money. But

1321
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how many brands you have to flex

1322
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: in your backyard. If they're not able to be leveraged

1323
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: by you, he doesn't really matter. Just so happens there's

1324
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: big industry in your backyard, Like, who cares if they're

1325
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: not all in on Arkansas football. That's what I feel

1326
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: about the Ryan Silverfield higher. I would have felt that

1327
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: way about Goalish if you went up there. I'd feel

1328
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: that way about anyone. I'd love to be proven wrong

1329
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:39,440
Speaker 1: on that. But ma'am at Utah, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Tennessee,

1330
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: at Auburn, at Texas, at A and M at van Dy.

1331
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: They play all those games next year. By the way,

1332
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 1: I should have told you, I was reading Arkansas twenty

1333
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty six schedule. They go to Utah and out of

1334
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: conference play and got Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas,

1335
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: A and M and Vandy in conference play. I wish

1336
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: him luck. I have never met Ryan Silverfield. I've met

1337
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people at Arkansas. I know how bad

1338
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: they want to winner. I hope everyone around there wants

1339
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: needs to win. I hope you need to win because

1340
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: you are very very much behind the eight ball. And

1341
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: here's the trick that you have to get passed when

1342
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: you're trying to convince big money donors, big corporations to

1343
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: contribute to your overall nil efforts. But they're not really

1344
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: wise to college football, the new world of college football.

1345
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Here's the catch twenty two. Even if you get them

1346
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: to spend money, that's not the end of the that's

1347
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: not the end of the line. That's not the win.

1348
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: The win is to get them to keep spending money

1349
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: or keep investing money. But here's the problem. When they

1350
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: spend it the first time and you don't immediately win,

1351
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: they ask, well, we're paying more money, why aren't we

1352
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: winning more? Well, the dirty secret simple math, actually, but

1353
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: it's tough to tell a donor. This is you're not

1354
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: paying me five million dollars to win more games. Your

1355
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: five million dollars and everyone else's money collectively just went

1356
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: to match everyone else who's also raising that money. We

1357
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: got to pay a baseline just to remain competitive. But

1358
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the problem is, back in the day, you didn't have

1359
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: to pay that much money to win. So everyone thinks, well,

1360
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: since I'm paying more now than I used to, we

1361
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: should be winning more now. Than we used to. That's

1362
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: the challenge right there. I don't care if it's an

1363
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,879
Speaker 1: individual donor or a corporation. These are businesses and business

1364
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: people and they want return on investment. And there's a

1365
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: dynamic in place right now that, like you got to

1366
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: explain to him that's not the way it works, per

1367
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: se without saying that's not the way it works, because

1368
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: then they just take their money and go elsewhere. They're

1369
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: watching us in Saint Simon's Island, Georgia, Mexico City, Mexico,

1370
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Well, I don't know if it's bad

1371
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: news or good news, but I've got news. The AP

1372
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: pole has dropped at the conclusion of the regular season.

1373
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 1: And I got a lot of comments about this. I'm

1374
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 1: pretty upset about it. I've also got a mind boggling statistic.

1375
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: I have it right here. I'm not even gonna wait

1376
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: until the end. Courtesy of Peate State Investigates, we have

1377
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: exclusively uncovered damning information about the AP pole. Did you

1378
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: know that, as of today, twelve of the preseason AP

1379
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: Top twenty five teams have finished unranked. Twelve, almost half

1380
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: of the preseason AP poll Top twenty five teams finished

1381
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: unranked Penn State, Clemson, LSU, Arizona State, Illinois. The list

1382
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: is too long. I'm not going to read it all.

1383
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: You can see it if you're watching, and if you're listening,

1384
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 1: you get the gist. Wow, just wow, couldn't be made.

1385
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't have an AP vote. Here we go. Missouri

1386
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: has checked in at number twenty five. I think that

1387
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: could be significant, but I don't know how. But it

1388
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: could be. Georgia Tech's twenty four, Navy, Arizona TWU Lane.

1389
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: All right, so North Texas and JMU are twentieth and nineteenth.

1390
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: A lot of the AP really looks the same as

1391
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: the college Football Playoff rankings, except with the G five teams.

1392
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: We have learned that the committee does not rank the

1393
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: same way. Don't know why, but the committee's been much

1394
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: lower on those teams. So at the very end of

1395
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,440
Speaker 1: the year, do we see them sort of pull alongside?

1396
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: Do we see them come into agreement rather with the AP.

1397
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: That's important because of the autobid process for the high

1398
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: highest ranked five conference champs, And that's a very very

1399
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: tangled web that we'll talk about in just a little while.

1400
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Michigan is at number eighteen, after the loss to Ohio

1401
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,440
Speaker 1: State didn't drop a whole lot. Usc Is at seventeen,

1402
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: beat UCLA Top twenty finish Lincoln Riley. I'm told the

1403
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: program is in disarray. I don't know that I would

1404
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: describe it that way. Maybe just not good enough yet.

1405
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Virginia sixteen, Utah fifteen. This is where it gets interesting.

1406
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: So Texas is fourteen? Is that where the committee will

1407
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,679
Speaker 1: have them? I think it'll be pretty close. Realistically, Texas

1408
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: needs to be in the top ten to make the

1409
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: playoff bottom line. Vandy is at thirteen. Why is that interesting? Well,

1410
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: just because they blew out Tennessee yesterday in neland and

1411
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: they were twelfth when they did it, and they dropped

1412
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: to thirteenth. Now I could sit here and rail against this,

1413
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like it. A logical person listening to

1414
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: it could say, okay, man, you sound very performative and

1415
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: hysterical right now, because in order for you to be

1416
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: mad at where Vandy's ranked, you got to tell me

1417
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: who ahead of them should drop. I'll tell you most

1418
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: of them, but they're not going to. But here's my point.

1419
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: If I took that, let's see, where's one. If I

1420
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,799
Speaker 1: took that Michigan logo and I put it over Vandy's resume.

1421
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Do you think Michigan would be thirteenth to ten and two?

1422
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: Because I don't. I personally don't think that. Not just that.

1423
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Imagine Michigan having beaten the teams Vandy has beaten, and

1424
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 1: their losses are to the team's Vandy lost two, I

1425
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: just think they'd be ranked higher. So yeah, I mean,

1426
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: they're not the first smaller, normally non competitive program to

1427
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: have to deal with this and overcome it. They're just

1428
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: the latest. But it's a shame because Vandy is sitting

1429
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: at ten and two and I never ever thought that

1430
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: would see an SEC team finish ten and two and

1431
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 1: be left out, and it just so happens to be Vandy.

1432
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: And it'd be one thing if it were Alabama, because

1433
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 1: Alabama's normally in the race. So if they missed out

1434
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: last year rightfully and they're right back in it, Vandy

1435
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: misses out this year, there's no guarantee they'll be right

1436
01:16:55,439 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: back in it. So that's a shame. Miami is twelve,

1437
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Bring him young as eleven? Is that the order they're in?

1438
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: Does Miami jump Vanderbilt in the College Football PLAYFF Committee rankings.

1439
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: We have to wait another thirty six hours to find

1440
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: that out. Alabama's number ten, Okay, I have to assume

1441
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: that's where the committee will have them. That's where they

1442
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: had them last week. As we go into SEC Championship week,

1443
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: I have very strong opinions on this. I'll save it

1444
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: for later in the show and later in the week.

1445
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: I am telling you I saw all the prediction metrics

1446
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: out there. I'll obviously, if Alabama beats Georgia, they're in.

1447
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: They probably have a top four seed in a first round.

1448
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 1: By if Alabama loses Saturday, they're not leaving them out,

1449
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: And I don't think the playoff committee will leave them

1450
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: out because I don't think they can leave them out

1451
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: because I think the SEC would just burn the whole

1452
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: thing to the ground. I'm not even sure what I

1453
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: mean by that, but you'll notice the SEC has not

1454
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: said a word. Everybody's been floating this scenario. Bama. By

1455
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: the way, although they're ranked behind Georgia, Obama is technically

1456
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the SEC. That's why they'll

1457
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: have the home jerseys Saturday. Like by the SEC standings,

1458
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: they are the one seed. You're telling me in a

1459
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff. We're on the precipice of the SEC's

1460
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,799
Speaker 1: one seed missing the playoff entirely because of the results

1461
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: of a conference championship game. I do not buy that.

1462
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: That's a rubicon they're willing to cross. I don't buy that.

1463
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the committee agrees. Notre Dame is nine,

1464
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's eight. A and M dropped four spots to seven.

1465
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: Now that's obviously important, five, six, seven, and eight. If

1466
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: these were the playoff rankings, those teams stand to have

1467
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: home playoff games. So as it stands right now, and

1468
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: if this again is the playoff Committee's opinion, A and

1469
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 1: M would host a game at Kyle Field in three weeks.

1470
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: It sucks that you lost to Texas. It's really not

1471
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: the worst place in the world to be right now

1472
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,719
Speaker 1: if you think about it. Ole Miss is sixth, Texas

1473
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Tech is five, and then the top four pretty predictable

1474
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Oregon four, Georgia three, Indiana to Ohio State one. I

1475
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 1: just can't get past that stat man twelve of the

1476
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: top twenty five preseason teams. It just finished unranked altogether.

1477
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: Like it'd be one thing if they just finished lower.

1478
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: They finished unranked altogether crazy stuff, crazy times. Appreciate you

1479
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: guys watching. Got a ton of folks watching. Just check

1480
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: check fifty one percent of you were unsubscribed to the channel.

1481
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: It's free. I'm pointing down, but I'm not really pointing anything.

1482
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: It's just like on your screen. It'll be below the video.

1483

Speaker 1: Just click subscribe and then do it on your mom's

1484
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: phone too. She'll appreciate it. If she doesn't immediately, she

1485
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: will in time. The Penn State coaching search continues. Everyone

1486
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: else is hired a coach ole miss didn't even know

1487
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: their job was open until today. They already filled theirs.

1488
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really know where we are. I

1489
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: really don't know where we are. I will I will

1490
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: tell you this. This search feels lost. It has for

1491
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: a while. It feels lost to me. I say that

1492
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: with some hesitance, because you just never know. Pack Craft

1493
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 1: could be duping everyone and he could have a home

1494
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: run grand Slam like turn the world on its ears

1495
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: mystery candidate, and he's gonna unveil it, and everyone including

1496
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: me has to say, wow, big apologies to pack Craft.

1497
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,679
Speaker 1: I don't think that's where we are, but maybe that's

1498
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: where we are. So what we need to do is

1499
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: we need to step back for just a second, and

1500
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: we need to acknowledge the latest reporting and the latest

1501
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: rumor and intel that we've gotten. We think they're a

1502
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 1: meeting with Kalani Staki, who is the head coach at

1503
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Brigham Young. This has been pretty widely reported in Penn

1504
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: State circles. So if you're following Penn State, this is

1505
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: not news to you. If you're not following Penn State,

1506
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: that probably came out of field a little bit. I

1507
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: have no clue how advanced their talks had been with him.

1508
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: I have no idea if he'd be a fit. He's

1509
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: never lived anywhere close to that portion of the country,

1510
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: he's never recruited over there. It could be oil and water,

1511
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: it could be a great fit. I have no idea.

1512
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know how interested he is. I am

1513
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: pretty sure he would want to coach in the Big

1514
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: Twelve championship game this week. The whole purpose of firing

1515
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: James Franklin when they did was to get a head

1516
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: start on the coaching search market. Well, everyone else has

1517
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: come in behind them and filled their spots before. Penn

1518
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: State has so fail on that part. And also, if

1519
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: you end up firing James Franklin early in the season,

1520
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: only to wait for a guy to coach in the

1521
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: conference championship game, therefore missing the national signing Day window.

1522
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: You also screwed yourself, so it's well documented. I thought

1523
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: it was done to fire James Franklin. It's well documented

1524
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 1: many Penn State fans disagreed with me, which is fine.

1525
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: Here we are now. By the way, you just have

1526
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: the added caveat you made Virginia Tech one of the

1527
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: big winners in this whole ordeal, because not only did

1528
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech massively upgrade their situation, they hired your former

1529
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: head coach who was in the national semi final less

1530
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: than twelve calendar months ago with no scandal since then

1531
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: that could explain his firing. And they got a head

1532
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,600
Speaker 1: start on recruiting, and they're gonna poach your players, and

1533
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna poach your support staff and they're good to go.

1534
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: They're ready for National signing they or they're getting ready

1535
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: for it this Wednesday. You have no clue who your

1536
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: head coach is going to be. So the question to

1537
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: me is not what the prediction markets say. By the way,

1538
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: we got to learn this lesson, guys. You got to

1539
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: learn to stop using prediction markets as gospel. Prediction markets

1540
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: know absolutely nothing about coaching hires. Now. Look, I have

1541
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: been very successful betting politics for a long time, and

1542
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: that's where the prediction markets can tell you something like

1543
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: when we're looking at congressional races and it's two weeks

1544
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: leading up and you're like in an R plus three

1545
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: district and the Democrats starts to tip up fifty five

1546
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: sixty sixty five percent, that's cause there's pretty pretty rock

1547
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: solid data. There's very very reliable polling that's going on

1548
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: that gives you tangible reason to see those markets move.

1549
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: These are coaching searches. There is no tangible information. It's

1550
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: what's being said on Twitter and message boards and then

1551
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of people betting it. And relative to the

1552
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 1: political markets, where there is substantive information and tons of

1553
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: people betting on it, the prediction markets for coaching searches

1554
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: are still very new, Which means if I go in

1555
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: and I drop one thousand dollars on Lincoln Riley to

1556
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: Penn State, I could fundamentally alter that market. I didn't

1557
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: know anything about what I just did. I don't think

1558
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's going to Penn State. I was just having

1559
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: fun with it, and yet I just moved the market.

1560
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Just be careful, be very careful. Coaching searches, and this

1561
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: really relates to Penn State. To me right now, coaching

1562
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: searches remind me a little bit of my days and

1563
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: talk radio. So when I first did radio, I learned

1564
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: about theater of the mind, and theater of the mind

1565
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: was always an important veil to maintain theater of the mind.

1566
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,840
Speaker 1: People who grow up now you may not understand. I

1567
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: came around at the very tail end of the FM

1568
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: radio era, where like, if your mom and dad are

1569
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: driving you around in the morning, the local fmdjs, I mean,

1570
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: they're like, you're best friends, but you've never met them.

1571
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: You've probably never seen them before. You don't know what

1572
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 1: they look like, you don't know what they're really like,

1573
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: but yet you have a fully developed idea of their

1574
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: persona in your head. The worst thing you can do

1575
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: is meet them in person. They say, don't meet your heroes, Well,

1576
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: also don't meet your favorite radio host because they can

1577
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: only disappoint. Because your mind, the theater of the mind,

1578
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: it builds up an image far greater than what the

1579
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: reality is going to be if you meet the guy

1580
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: on the street corner. Coaching searches are sometimes like that

1581
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: in your coaching search. If you're a Penn State fan,

1582
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: you like to believe there's a grand master plan and

1583
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: there's just a very very cerebral, diligent, intentional approach being taken.

1584
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: They are all these folks who are beaten down the

1585
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 1: door to get the job. And sometimes that's the case.

1586
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not the case, but the illusion is maintained,

1587
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 1: and then other times it's not the case and the

1588
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 1: illusion is not maintained. And we are firmly in the

1589
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: third category with Penn State right now. So I really,

1590
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: even as of today, November thirtieth, I have no idea

1591
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: where they're going to go. I said last week some

1592
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: of the guidance we were getting on it was of

1593
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,600
Speaker 1: all the jobs that were open, everyone knew Florida was

1594
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: gonna get filled Sunday, Auburn was going to get filled Sunday.

1595
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: They were even fairly confident Arkansas was going to get

1596
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: filled Sunday. LSU was absolutely going to get filled Sunday.

1597
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: The one they kept coming back to me and saying

1598
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: they didn't know about was Penn State. I don't. We

1599
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: really don't know if Penn State is going to be

1600
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 1: filled Sunday. And I was like, how National Signay Day

1601
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: is Wednesday? And they were like, we know, but we

1602
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: don't know. And I still don't know. Wednesday is signing day.

1603
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: The class is falling apart. I don't I don't know.

1604
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm not here to I'm not here to question whether

1605
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: athletic directors are qualified for their job. Ninety five percent

1606
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: of what they do is behind the scenes. But this

1607
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: seems like it's been a mess. The way to salvage

1608
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 1: it is prove everyone wrong and hire a grade head coach.

1609
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: And I hope they do because I love the Penn

1610
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 1: State program. It's why I address the way I do.

1611
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons I address the way I do.

1612
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: But right now it's tough for me to see it candidly. However,

1613
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 1: what I can see is that tomorrow FanDuel goes live

1614
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 1: in Missouri, the state of Missouri, one more day, and

01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 1: I save this for the end of the show because

1646
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: I really don't know how to feel about a lot

1647
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 1: of this. The college football Playoff rankings will come out Tuesday,

1648
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: and that's the last batch of rankings we get before

1649
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: selection Sunday. And there are three scenarios that just keep

1650
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 1: burning a hole in my heart as to whether any

1651
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: of them unfold and how chaotic it really could be.

1652
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: And I wrote them down, and the first one is

1653
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: very simple, Big twelve Chanterampionship game. What if Brigham Young

1654
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: beats t beats Texas Tech. They're a thirteen and a

1655
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: half point dog, so maybe they won't. But what if

1656
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: Brigham Young beats Texas Tech Saturday it's gonna be early

1657
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: game eleven am local kick, so you'll know early in

1658
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the day. Do they both get in the playoff? I

1659
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: would say almost absolutely. You know Brigham Young would be in.

1660
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 1: They're the Big twelve champ and Texas Tech's not going

1661
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 1: to fall out. I don't think so. They would both

1662
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: be in. So who gets knocked out in this scenario.

1663
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Who gets knocked out could be Alabama, could be Oklahoma,

1664
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 1: could be Old Miss, which I'm about to talk about

1665
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: in a second, because I don't think it's fully dawned

1666
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 1: on people that that's possible. Could be Notre Dame, which

1667
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,560
Speaker 1: is viewed like as sacrile. Notre Dame, it's their birthright

1668
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: to be in this year's playoff. No, it's not. They're

1669
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: likely in. They're not a slam dunk in because of

1670
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 1: things like this. So I could see a world where

1671
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Texas Tech or runs it up on Brigham Young and

1672
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: they remove themselves from the equation. I could see that.

1673
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 1: It's tough to see Brigham Young beating Texas Tech, but

1674
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 1: I could see it happening. In that point. They're both in,

1675
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: and the question of who gets knocked out? I mentioned

1676
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:19,600
Speaker 1: those four teams Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Ole, Miss Alabama. The

1677
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 1: Alabama part. I already went over this. It is a

1678
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: non starter for me. If Bama's tenth are higher going

1679
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: into Saturday, they are in that playoff. I think Fowler

1680
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 1: said it properly last night. Ironically, I think Nick Saban

1681
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: said it poorly when he said I think it's gonna

1682
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 1: take two wins for Bama to get in. What where

1683
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: did you coach up until five minutes ago? Fowler said

1684
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: last night after the game, this win probably secures Alabama

1685
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 1: spot in the playoff. Yeah, because it secures them a

1686
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 1: spot in the SEC Championship game as a tenth ranked

1687
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: or higher participant. So yeah, in a world where they

1688
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 1: lose and they get dropped, that's also a world where

1689
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: I just think the league office in the SEC burns

1690
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 1: the whole thing to the ground, and you may ask, well,

1691
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: who's going to go in instead of who are they

1692
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 1: going in over? I don't know. Probably someone who didn't

1693
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 1: play for the SEC Championship would be my guess. What

1694
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: about the ACC doomsday scenario. I just talked about it

1695
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: in the Sarah McLaughlin special, but it bears repeating. I've

1696
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:23,959
Speaker 1: had more people ask about this than any other possible

1697
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: doomsday chaos scenario that the playoff has to offer, because

1698
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: many people are just now realizing that they didn't have

1699
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: it right, like most people are not glued to this

1700
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: stuff like we are. So most people were not aware

1701
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 1: up until five seconds ago that the ACC is not

1702
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: guaranteed a spot in the playoff. Most people just thought

1703
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,600
Speaker 1: the Power four conference champs are guaranteed a spot, and

1704
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: then one G five team gets a spot. No, that's

1705
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 1: not the way it's written. That's just the way it

1706
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: was gonna work out. Ninety nine percent of the time.

1707
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: The way it's written is the five highest ranked conference

1708
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 1: champs get the five off bids, and then you have

1709
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: seven at larges. So people looked at that and rightfully thought, okay, well,

1710
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 1: out of the five highest ranked conference champs, certainly the

1711
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: Power four will be amongst the five. And then enter

1712
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, where the ACC has no idea how

1713
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 1: to structure itself. They're not the only ones. And Duke

1714
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,759
Speaker 1: can go seven and five and still make the conference

1715
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: title game and win it. They're two and a half

1716
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,720
Speaker 1: point dogs. Guys, this is not out of the roma possibility.

1717
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 1: And if Duke wins that thing because they're in the

1718
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 1: game via a five way tie. If they win that thing,

1719
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get one of the auto bids like

1720
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 1: the American I don't care who it is. It could

1721
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 1: be Two Lane or North Texas. The winner of that

1722
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: conference title game will definitely be ranked higher than Duke,

1723
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 1: so they'll get one of the auto bid spots that's available.

1724
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: And then the other one is almost certainly going to

1725
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: go to James Madison because they're going to be ranked

1726
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 1: way higher than Duke. So if Duke wins that thing

1727
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: and jm you wins as a twenty one and a

1728
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 1: half point favorite, the ACC champ is not gonna be

1729
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:12,600
Speaker 1: in the playoff, which means the only other question is

1730
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: are they gonna put Miami in? And iron I was

1731
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:18,560
Speaker 1: talking to some folks last night. Ironically, that could be

1732
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:22,720
Speaker 1: the best thing for Miami, if it's really really like

1733
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: nip and tuck, If the committee really does take Miami's

1734
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 1: win over Pitt yesterday and bake it into the pie

1735
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: and figure out that Miami and Notre Dame's resumes are

1736
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 1: right there now and they need one more thing to

1737
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:40,719
Speaker 1: bump it over. I think that one thing could be

1738
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: staring into the ABYSS on selection Sunday, realizing uh oh

1739
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Duke won the ACC We're not putting them in. If

1740
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: we don't put Miami in this playoff, we're about to

1741
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 1: tell a power for conference, no, you're out. Are they

1742
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 1: willing to do that? I don't know, because we're only

1743
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: two years into this thing. We're gonna find out. Well,

1744
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 1: we may find out, or Virginia could win it, make

1745
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 1: it a moot point. We'll see. But I just imagine that,

1746
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 1: by the way, whether it be that scenario or whether

1747
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 1: it be the Bama scenario, the Bama scenario would probably

1748
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: be worse because I want you to imagine the SEC

1749
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:23,839
Speaker 1: watching their league's number one seed, which is Alabama league standings.

1750
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about rankings right now. Imagine Greg Sanki

1751
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 1: sitting in Birmingham at the league office watching his number

1752
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: one seed play a conference title game, which is a

1753
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: reward that they earn the right to play in. They lose,

1754
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: the committee drops them out so that the committee can

1755
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 1: put in two G five teams and maybe two teams

1756
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: from the Big twelve. Torch in one hand, pitchfork in

1757
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: the other, burn it down. That would be the only

1758
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,280
Speaker 1: protocol for the SEC at that point. Speaking of the SEC,

1759
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:57,679
Speaker 1: we do have the small matter of the old Mess

1760
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 1: disaster scenario to discuss amongst ourselves. Here. They're number three

1761
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:07,320
Speaker 1: in total offense. That's good thing. Their offensive staff just

1762
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 1: got gutted as Lane Kiffin left town. That's a bad thing.

1763
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: No Lane Kiffin, No Charlie weis junior there, a lot

1764
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: of the other guys are gone. How's the committee going

1765
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 1: to view this? Now? I need to stop right now.

1766
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 1: I need to tell you I hate what I'm about

1767
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,679
Speaker 1: to say. I'm not a fan of this. I don't

1768
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 1: like that this is protocol. I'll go all the way

1769
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty three with Florida State when I

1770
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: got accused of flip flopping. People still get mad at

1771
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 1: me on the internet for this stuff. Jordan Travis went

1772
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: down and it fundamentally changed to Florida State was But

1773
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 1: I went on the show and said, I don't care.

1774
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: Injuries are a part of football. I don't care what

1775
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,519
Speaker 1: the committee thinks. The impact on Florida State roster is

1776
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: because the teams that deserve to be there should be

1777
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 1: in the playoff. And then Bill Hancock came out right

1778
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 1: before selection Sunday and said most deserving is not in

1779
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: our lexicon. Those were his exact words. I went on

1780
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,520
Speaker 1: subsequent shows and I said, all right, well that's dumb,

1781
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 1: But if that's the way the Committee's viewing it, then no,

1782
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: Florida State doesn't belong in. Alabama should be in because

1783
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Alabama's a better team at that point, I think, than

1784
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Florida State. And it doesn't matter all of a sudden

1785
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: whether you've earned something or whether you deserve something, because

1786
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: the Committee says their protocol is we just choose the

1787
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:24,680
Speaker 1: best teams now. So that was where I had to

1788
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:30,080
Speaker 1: ignore my own emotion and acknowledge the committee's criteria back then.

1789
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 1: Well fast forward two years, we may have that on

1790
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 1: our hands again. The Committee's criteria says, just like if

1791
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: you lose a key player to injury, it may impact

1792
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: their view of your team. If you lose a coach

1793
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: or coaches, it may impact their view of your team.

1794
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 1: I just want to warn you guys, there is a

1795
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: world come Tuesday night where, according to their criteria, hate it.

1796
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Though I might, you have to acknowledge that Ole miss

1797
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,879
Speaker 1: is not as good a team when several key pieces

1798
01:36:57,920 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 1: of their coaching staff are gone, and you have to

1799
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,840
Speaker 1: deduct them because of that. I'm not advocating for it.

1800
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:06,599
Speaker 1: I hate that that's part of their criteria. But remove

1801
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 1: my emotion and just acknowledge the criteria and you understand it. Yeah,

1802
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 1: there's a world where you may rightfully bump ole Miss down.

1803
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: How far down they were seventh last week? How far

1804
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: down would you bump them? And if we get in

1805
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 1: the situation where there's a log jam of teams, everyone's

1806
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: looking at these other candidates to be left out, ole

1807
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 1: Miss is a candidate to be left out. It's in

1808
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: the committee's protocol. I can't do anything about it. I

1809
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: hate it. I would remove it today if I could,

1810
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: but it's in there. And there are a couple of

1811
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: differences in this and the Jordan Travis injury a couple

1812
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 1: of years ago. So Jordan Travis got hurt in Florida

1813
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,720
Speaker 1: State played a couple of games without him, and they

1814
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 1: won them, but they were ugly. But there was a

1815
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: little more definitive evidence to us that, Okay, yeah, pretty

1816
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: obvious they are a lesser team without him. Now, whether

1817
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: I liked it or not, that was obvious. We're not

1818
01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 1: going to get to see ole Miss without Lane Kiffin

1819
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 1: until the play a playoff game if they are given

1820
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: a playoff game. So that is a sure fire chaos scenario.

1821
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 1: And I don't really know. I don't really know a

1822
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 1: lot about college football right now. I know I love it.

1823
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: It's very addictive. And I know that the over under

1824
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 1: for this show tonight was two hours and we got
