1
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: I swear everything the NCAA touches turns into a forest fire.

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: This whole tes Walker thing. I'm gonna explain it in

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: the second if you don't know what I'm talking about.

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: It was breaking earlier today. I changed the order of

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: the show. I wanted to leave the show with it.

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: And there are these two camps out there. Eighty percent

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: of people are outraged. About twenty percent of people are

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: saying no, no, no, this is actually why it happened.

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: The NCUBA actually has a leg to stand on. And

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, read chapter one of the book. You're on

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: chapters two and three. Read chapter one. Lay Kick is Live.

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: We are jam packed high Top, an anxious downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: on this Thursday night, September seventh year of Our Lord,

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, anxious because upsets are coming people now,

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know where I've got fairly good guesses on

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the show tonight. It could be a bad week for

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the SEC because the SEC I had a lot of

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: weird out of conference games. Do you know Arizona plays

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Mississippi State? Do you know Ole miss is going to Tulane?

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea that Vandy's a ten point

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: dog at Wake Forest. A lot of things are on

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: the table. Auburn's playing in Berkeley, California this weekend. So yeah,

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: for a conference that already was bumpy out of the gate,

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: let's keep an eye on it. I got added best

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: bets on the Ramannudle Express. I got Cole Kublick on

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: the show tonight. Yes, friends, Cole cuts his back. He

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: saw Bama up close last week. I'll ask him what

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: he thought about that offensive line. We're going to talk

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: about a bunch of stuff Clemson like, is the version

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: of that program that won title's really done?

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: Are we overreacting?

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Could see? Could we see bounce backs from certain programs?

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Temple, Georgia, Romania like the actual country.

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Our troops are over there actually because one of them

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: checked in. So salute to all of our men and

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: women watching in Romania, Union, Missouri, San Clemente, California. Thank

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: you guys so much. After this show concludes and we

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: are live his live can be right now. After it concludes,

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm hopping in a rental car.

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: I think they gave me a Camra.

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Pretty sure I had Bradley the associate dropped me off

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: at budget earlier today, and we appreciate that because that's

43
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: been a chore in this building today. Let me tell you,

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm heading down to Tuscaloosa tonight and we'll be doing

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: coverage from there tomorrow, not late kick, but we will

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: be doing coverage for CBS Sports HQ, and then Buddy,

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: we're on the field Saturday night at Texas Alabama. That's

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: going to be a really fun one. I am looking

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you. We always get received very warmly

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa, but it is no time for warmth on

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: this show. It is no time for people to feel good.

52
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: We can feel good later. Immunity right now, Colin, let's

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: cut that out of the individual video. I've got to

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: talk to you about some egregiousness that went down today.

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: So the tes Walker situation at North Carolina has been

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: unfolding for weeks, and really for several weeks, and I've

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: explained it to you. That's the kid that once upon

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: a time played at the lower level and then he

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: transferred to Kent State because at the lower level their

60
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: season got canceled because of COVID, so he never played

61
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a down. Now he transferred the following spring, but I

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: don't care about that because he never played a down

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: of football there. So he transfers to Kent State, becomes

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: all Mac, then transfers to North Carolina. If you're keeping

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: track at home, yes, friends, that adds up to two transfers.

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: You only get one transfer a penalty free. But here's

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,559
Speaker 1: the thing. Anyone with a look of common sense understands

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: there are extenuating circumstances in the room with tz Walker's

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: specific situation. He's also claiming ailing family member mental health.

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: The reason I sound so dismissive of that is because

71
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I think he should have gotten his waiver accepted even

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: without those in the room. But that all led today

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: to his waiver being denied. The NCAA took their sweet time,

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about in a second, and they brought

75
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: down the gavel on the table and they said denied.

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: Why, we don't have to tell you, but it's denied.

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Now. I'm fortunate that the audience on this show includes

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of compliance people. There are tons of people

79
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: in football period who watch the show, but I got

80
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: a fair amount of compliance folks who watch the show.

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: So they've been pretty consistently in my DMS, I text

82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: back and forth with a number of them, and they've

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: been keeping me up to speed because while the public

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: has been outraged about this, because all they see is

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: a kid getting screwed by the NC double A, and

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, the folks and the compliance

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: side of things have been telling me, now, Josh, hold

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: on a second, hold on, the NC DOUBLEA is only

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: enforcing the rules that coaches and administrators ask them to enforce.

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: And they're right. They are right about that. So how

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: could I agree with both parties? You may ask, how

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: could I agree that the NC double A is enforcing

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: rules that coaches and administrators beg them to create and

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: enforce but also think the NC DOUBLEA screwing the kid. Well,

95
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty simple. One of those is from chapter

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: three of the book that we're reading right now. The

97
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: other is from ch chapter two. Both of them think

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: they're the only chapter in the book. So the crowd

99
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: that's outraged right now could not hear another explanation. All

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: they think is tes.

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Walker got screwed.

102
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: The folks on the other side halfway defending the NCAA

103
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: right now, they think that this is just emotion over

104
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: here on this side of the fence, and those folks

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: are all bent out of shape. But if they could

106
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: just take a second and remove the emotion from the

107
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: room and insert some logic, they would know. The nc doublea'

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: is not the villain here. The kid transferred not once,

109
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: but twice. The NCAA is merely enforcing rules that coaches,

110
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: including mac Brown in the past, begged them to create

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: and enforce. So how's that only chapter two? Well, you're

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: forgetting about chapter one. Really, both of you are forgetting

113
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: about chapter one. Chapter one was when that group in

114
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Indianapolis at NCAA headquarters dropped this entire thing in your

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: lap with no advanced warning. You forget about that. I'm

116
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: talking about the ones defending this today. Do you forget

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: about that? You forget about when the NCAA said, hey,

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: transfer portals here, baby, and you have had no time

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: to get ready for this, and we really don't know

120
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: how it's going to work, but here you go.

121
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: Remember that. It's kind of like.

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I was trying to come up with a good metaphor

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: and I really couldn't, So this is the best I

124
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: could do. Let's just say, let's say tomorrow, you're out

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: at a picnic. Let's say, you know what, it's tailgate season.

126
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Let's say tomorrow you're out at a tailgate and there

127
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: is a beehive up in the tree. But it's okay,

128
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: minding their own business. You're minding your own business. And

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: some dude just waltzes up with a baseball bat and

130
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: wax that beehive and you got bees everywhere, and so

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: someone's got a bottle of raid and you're just yelling, spray.

132
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: It, spray it.

133
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: We're getting stung.

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: We're getting stung.

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: So you just raid the entire tailgate, and then all

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the food's ruined, and so people start complaining. After a

137
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: little while, Yeah, the bees are dead, but the food's ruined,

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: and so people's stomach start growling and the kids start crying,

139
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, we need to go get some

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: more food. Hey, hey, can we borrow some food? And

141
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: you look over and it's the dude who had the

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: baseball bat, who happens to be in the tailgate next

143
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: to you, and he says, no, sorry, Remember, sure, it's

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: on you. You're the one who asked me to spray

145
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: that raid. And then there's this third person over here,

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: who's just an innocent bystander saying, wait a second, Yeah,

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: they asked you to spray the raid. That's only cause

148
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: you're the idiot who hit the hornets nests with the

149
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: baseball bat in the first place.

150
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: The NC double A is the one who hit the

151
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: hornet's nest.

152
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: The NCAA is the reason that the coaches got all

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: bent out of shape and said, you guys got to

154
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: put some rules in and enforce them. And now the

155
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: NC DOUBLEA, after they created the mess, comes in the

156
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: back door and screws a kid who's trying to transfer,

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: and they're using the technical letter of the law and

158
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: hiding behind That is their defense, and unbeknownst to people

159
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: who don't know any better, it's their fault all along.

160
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: So even if you're right about the NC DOUBLEA saying, well, hey,

161
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: you asked us to enforce the rules, we asked you

162
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: to enforce the rules because you had to create the rule,

163
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: because you created the mess. That's that's chapter one of

164
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: the book. That's what happened before chapter two and chapter three.

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, did it occur to anyone else

166
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: out there? How long this whole thing took?

167
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: Did it occur to anyone else.

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: You could literally you could cancel spectrum cable in the

169
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: state of Florida right now. Quicker then we get resolution

170
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: from the nc DOUAA. I'm talking to Cooper Petegna earlier

171
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: today and he was kind of kind of laying out

172
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: what actually takes so long about this, and I listened

173
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: to it, and I really don't care. I care about him.

174
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't care about the technical reasoning. I don't care

175
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: that the NCAA doesn't acknowledge one sport over the other

176
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: and it just goes in a queue. And if track

177
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: and fields first in line, then track and Field at

178
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: William and Mary is going to be heard before wide

179
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: receiver at North Carolina, in our highest revenue producing sport

180
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: by a million miles, that has immediate devil lines in place.

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: We got a season approaching. They don't care.

182
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: They don't care because they don't have to care. If

183
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: you've ever been to the DMV and watched the collective

184
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: attitude of ninety five percent of the employees there, you

185
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: get how the NCAA operates. If you've been through TSA lately,

186
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: not all of you. I got some friends in TSA,

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of TSA employees, you get it. There's

188
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: no competition in their field. They can do whatever they want.

189
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Nothing's happening to them. And it's the same way with

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the NC DOUBLEA. You never see them. You're nameless, faceless

191
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: people who know that no matter how bad they suck

192
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: at their job today, and no matter how thoroughly they

193
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: screw student athletes today, they're going to be right back

194
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: there in their same parking spot tomorrow morning.

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: And that's that they operate with.

196
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Like diplomatic community, they operate with a giant safety net

197
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: under them.

198
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: Do they really care about kids?

199
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: No?

200
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Do they really care about teams? No?

201
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: Do they care about fans? Certainly not.

202
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: They just get to it exist and because someone gave

203
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: them the power and authority, they've got it. I've seen

204
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: a lot of people today asking what would happen if

205
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: North Carolina just played this kid anyway? And the answer is, well,

206
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: they can't do that, And then the response is, well,

207
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: who says well? The NC DOUBA says yeah, but what

208
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: if they do it anyway. It's like enforcing a new

209
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: law in your community. The law only gets enforced if

210
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: you've got a governing body able to enforce it. If

211
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: you don't, then you might as well not have a law.

212
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: And in NC Douba circles, you tell me tes Walker

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: can't play, Okay, well I play him anyway, Like what's

214
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: the next move? No one really knows that answer. I

215
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: don't claim to either. I don't know what the domino

216
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: effect would be. I just know there are a lot

217
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: of coaches who have looked at this and called mac

218
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Brown disingenuous. They've called North Carolina's approach posturing, and they've

219
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: they've thought of it more's theater because they've thought behind

220
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: the scenes, North Carolina knew the rule, and North Carolina

221
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: went and got that kid anyway, and they knew it

222
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: was his second transfer, and they knew what the rules were,

223
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: and they thought they were just gonna bully the NC

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: double A. And my thing is, you are right, that's

225
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: exactly what they thought. Let's just remember why the rule

226
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: was even put in place to begin with. Let's even

227
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: remember why folks like mac Brown lobbied for rules like

228
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: that to be.

229
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: Put in place to begin with. It's not cause mac

230
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: Brown just.

231
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: All of a sudden decided he didn't like transfers. It's

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: caused the new transfer portal Era and rules therein got

233
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: dropped in folks' laps by the NC DOUBLEA. You create

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the mess, how about you clean it up for once?

235
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, so this really bothered me. It bothered

236
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: me for several weeks. It bothered me. Also, the glacial

237
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: pace it moved at. There is no way that that

238
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: should take that long, just like investigations, there's no way

239
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: they should take that long, but yet they do. All right, Now,

240
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: that's sad times. Let's talk about some happy times. I

241
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: got word from the Pate State Warehouse last night via

242
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: text that are once Upon a Saturday shirt commemorating this

243
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: week's tour stop in Tuscaloosa is already the third best

244
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: seller in the store and it's only available one week.

245
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm showing you a picture of the shirt right now.

246
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: It's once Upon a Saturday Tour. We do it once

247
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: a week. We go to a different game every week,

248
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: and we have the commemorative shirt Texas at Alabama. But

249
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: the thing about it is after Saturday night that's never

250
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: available again. And when I reveal where we're going next

251
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: week on Sunday night, new shirt populates the store. Well,

252
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: that one's been flying out of the store. So I

253
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: just wanted to say a quick thank you to you guys.

254
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: I love the design.

255
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: I think most of you do as well.

256
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: So voila, there we go. We'll be in Tuscaloosa all weekend. Upsets.

257
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: Could we see them all over the country this weekend?

258
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: Sure, we've talked about Texas Alabama, We've talked about Texas

259
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: A and m Miami, but there's several other games.

260
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: We've talked about, Oregon.

261
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. But you know, Ole Miss goes to Tulane

262
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: this weekend. The line on this game seven and a half,

263
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: and I want to know what's going to happen.

264
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: This is Tulane's game, Like, this is their shot. You

265
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: understand that Ole.

266
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Miss has several other Power five games on their schedule.

267
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Pretty much anyone else who's going to contend or hope

268
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: to contend, has a bunch of opportunities to beef their

269
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: resume up. This is the shot for Tulane. Tulane could

270
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: never hope to sniff the College Football Playoff if they

271
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: lose this game. They know they got to have it,

272
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: and I believe they'll play like that. You know, Michael Pratt,

273
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback, the one who ended up coming back and

274
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: beating USC in the bowl game. Oh he's still there.

275
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: They faced South Alabama last week, by the way, pretty

276
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: good defensive team, thirty seven to seventeen, No big deal.

277
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: Pratt was fourteen to fifteen for nearly three hundred through

278
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: the air, four touchdowns, added another forty some odd yards rushing.

279
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on this. It's just there's not

280
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: a ton of separation between these teams. Ole Miss seven

281
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: and a half. I said, as the favorite, let's just

282
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: be careful with that one. That's part one of an

283
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: out of nowhere nightmare scenario for the SEC. I'll get

284
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: back to that in a second. A game that I'm

285
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: paying a lot of attention to because we're taking the

286
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: underdog in the points is app State at North Carolina.

287
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: This game happened last year. Does anyone out there remember,

288
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: I know you guys in Boone and Chapel Hill do.

289
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: The final was sixty three to sixty one. Yes, app

290
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: State scored sixty one and lost this game.

291
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: Last year.

292
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: We had an FBS record happen in this game. Sixty

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: two points were scored in the fourth quarter, sixty two.

294
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: Most of your over unders this Saturday will not be

295
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: sixty two period and they scored it in the fourth

296
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: quarter FBS record. APP State's got that kind of reputation.

297
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: It started all the way back with that Michigan upset,

298
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and it's just it's permeated, it's maintained itself ever since.

299
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: An app State's reputation is one that you don't even

300
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: check who their players are. You just here, we're playing

301
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: app State.

302
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: Uh oh.

303
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is it's not hype like,

304
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty validated. APP State is not a team that

305
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: you scroll through your score feeds on Saturday and see

306
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: getting blown out a whole lot. And so there they

307
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: are an eighteen and a half point dog Roman It

308
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: will express best bet there. We jumped on them last week,

309
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: or I jumped on them last show, and we got

310
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: app State plus eighteen and a half. I really, really

311
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: am just interested in the whole dynamic around North Carolina,

312
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: not even the tes Walker thing, but just how sky

313
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: high that programing team is because they won last week,

314
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line looking like it is totally emerged, and

315
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: if that's true, that warrants this eighteen and a half

316
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: point line. I just know how college football works too,

317
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: So I'm a little bit leery of this one. I

318
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: think North Carolina wins the game, but it's worth talking

319
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: about in an upset alert section. You know, Oklahoma just

320
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: completely splattered Arkansas State all over Norman last week, just

321
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: painted the walls with their blood, and here comes SMU

322
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: into town this week. It's really a good baronmeter game.

323
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I think for Oklahoma's defense a lot more than last week.

324
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: Sixteen and a half. That's the number Sooners are favored

325
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: over smu it. This game could be a tougher challenge

326
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma than half of their conference schedule could be.

327
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean SMU we were talking earlier as a staff

328
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: about where they would sort of slot themselves if we

329
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: just put them in the Big twelve this year, and

330
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: we think around middle of the pack, just like a good,

331
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: solid Big twelve opponent, And that's what vegacy is. That's

332
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: about the kind of number you would see if a

333
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: middle of the pack Big twelve opponent came in there.

334
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Preston Stone is the quarterback at SMU. I think those

335
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: of you who follow recruiting probably remember that name. If

336
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: you don't follow recruiting, he was a top one hundred

337
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: and fifty player in the country. A couple of cycles ago,

338
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: really good player. And what you also need to know

339
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: is SMU had the number thirteen portal class in America.

340
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: This past cycle only g five team in the top

341
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: forty and there was only one other one in the

342
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: top fifty. I think I think Eastern Carolina was at

343
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: like forty ninth. So SMU is a really good team

344
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: now and SMU with reht lashly very upset minded. As

345
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: much as we talk about TWU lane, this is their shot.

346
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: This is their strength of schedule booster. And lastly, to

347
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: go back to the SEC theme for a second, I'm

348
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Cole Kubrick in the show later. His

349
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: crew has this game Saturday night, Arizona at Mississippi State.

350
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Mississippi State went out there and won this one pretty

351
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: comfortably last year. They're favored by nine and a half

352
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: at home. So just think about what the.

353
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Story is there.

354
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: The story there is if you shave out home field advantage,

355
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: if you put these two teams on a neutral field,

356
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: we're looking at under a touchdown spread or under a

357
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: touchdown gap? Should I say in the Vegas eye between

358
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: these two teams, do you believe that? Do you want

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: to argue against it. I guess even if you don't

360
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: believe it, do you want to argue against it. Jade

361
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Delora is the quarterback there at Arizona. Really good player,

362
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: good at using the entire field, good wide receivers to

363
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: work with. You know who Mississippi State plays next week?

364
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: I say it with clenched teeth. They play LSU. And

365
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: I happen to have some friends around Starkville, and I

366
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: know which game they're talking about, and they're starting to

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: hype up. Is a really good matchup for them. They

368
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: love their wide receivers, they love their passing game. They

369
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: especially see some vulnerability in that secondary. And it's not

370
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: the Arizona team theyre talking about. They're talking about LSU.

371
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: Don't be overlooking Arizona. Don't let them come in there

372
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: and sneak around. Single digit spread, telling you the SEC

373
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: has got an interesting week. We got that game right there,

374
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: you got old mess at Tulane, Auburn's at Cal. I

375
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: didn't even hardly talk about that game. And of course

376
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: you've got A and M at Miami four and a

377
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: half point spread. You got Texas at Alabama touchdown spread.

378
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Last week. I mean, we had LSU go down. We

379
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: had South Carolina go down. You could be looking at

380
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: a really, really really shaky star for the conference, So

381
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: keep an eye, Colin. I may have to sneeze. It's

382
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: there na yet. Nope, Nope, it's not coming yet.

383
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: Community. I'll let you know.

384
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: We don't have a hand sign for I need to sneeze,

385
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: so I'll just do it on air, but I'll let

386
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: you know. Academy Sports and Outdoors it's where I think

387
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: you guys have about twenty four hours to get if

388
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: you want to get ready for tailgating Saturday. Now, some

389
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: of you had road games in Week one, so you

390
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: didn't get to enjoy the tailgating experience.

391
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: That's fine.

392
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: I would assume most of your teams are at home

393
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: if they were on the road.

394
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: In Week one.

395
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors tents, check grills, check canopies, check

396
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: the chairs that.

397
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: You absolutely need, check coolers.

398
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: Check you got multiple brand names there. I would just

399
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: encourage you guys to go there because I love them,

400
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: because they make the show free, they are our exclusive partner.

401
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: And also if you can't get there in person, that's

402
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: probably a little bit late for this week, but hit

403
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: them up for next week, Academy dot com got all

404
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: your outdoors sporting good suppor we're opening up new locations

405
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: later this month. I'm almost ready to tell you about those.

406
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: And we were like puzzle pieces. We an Academy. We

407
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: go together hand in glove, and we really appreciate them

408
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: for having our back. Before I get to the added

409
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: best bets on the Rama Noudle Express and then we

410
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: got Cole Kublet coming in here. Really good conversation with him.

411
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about something that a

412
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: number of you have been dming me about.

413
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: So many of you have.

414
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: Been either emailing me or dming me, and you've been

415
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: asking me whether I think we should just do away

416
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: with rankings in the preseason, and whether we should do

417
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: away with rankings until like week four or week five.

418
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: And I've never talked about it on the show a

419
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: single time.

420
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: What's the problem, the real problem? I know what some

421
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: of you say. The problem is some of you say

422
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: this is an innocent enough thought, like there's logic behind this.

423
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: Some of you think that if we come into a

424
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: season where there's a bad team, but everyone thinks they're good,

425
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: so they're falsely inflated in the polls. It takes forever

426
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: for that team to drop down to where they should be,

427
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: and they enjoy an unfair benefit of the doubt. Conversely,

428
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: there could be a really good team, but if no

429
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: one believes in them, it takes them forever to rise

430
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: up the ladder. But my question has always been what

431
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: does it actually impact. We're not in the AP era anymore,

432
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: We're not even in the BCS era anymore.

433
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: None of these people's votes.

434
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the JP pole itself is not even baked into

435
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: the college Football Playoff criteria or the committee. And so

436
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: I keep asking for everyone who gets bent out of

437
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: shape calls. Every team's not slotted exactly where you want

438
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: them to be. What's the harm that we're not curing cancer? Here?

439
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: Like this is college football. People are just having fun.

440
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: So let's walk this through for just a second. I'm

441
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: not gonna take too long on this, but let's say

442
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I this is not a pen. I have a magic

443
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: wand in my hand, and bapati boo, there you go. Okay,

444
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: you got your wish. It is now now a federal

445
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: crime for anyone to release a college football poll or

446
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: power ranking or rating before Week four? What are they

447
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna do what? Are we just gonna sketch it on

448
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: a pizza box instead? We're gonna run poles underground?

449
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Instead? Are we gonna bootleg?

450
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: Pull? Like?

451
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 2: Poles aren't going anywhere? People thinking about college football teams in.

452
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: Order of lists and rankings and ratings.

453
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: It's not going anywhere.

454
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: You take away the ability to post it on the internet,

455
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: so people just think it instead. People still talk about it.

456
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: But we're not.

457
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: We're not allowed to release this, but hey, if if

458
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: we did it, where would you put in c State?

459
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: Hey?

460
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Do you think Clemson's better than Tennessee?

461
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: I do too.

462
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff is still going to go on. Everybody has

463
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: preconceived notions. What else are you going to do in July?

464
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Hang out with your family? I know some of your families.

465
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I know how you feel about some of your families.

466
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: That's halfway joking. You guys know that I love you,

467
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna happen. Completely unrealistic Acctly, it doesn't

468
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: matter when you're releasing poles people. It doesn't matter if

469
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: you're a ranker or if you're a power raterer like

470
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: I am.

471
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: The key is in flexibility.

472
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: The key is just to make sure that you don't

473
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: get married to your preseason opinions, like Memo always said,

474
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: never marry an opinion in July that you're not willing

475
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: to divorce at halftime of week one. As long as

476
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: you buy into Mimo's philosophy, there, you're okay. Doesn't matter

477
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: if you have LSU number one in your preseason rankings.

478
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: Maybe embarrassing, but it doesn't. It doesn't matter if you

479
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: have them number one, as long as you're willing to

480
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: watch them get drugged by FSU in the second half

481
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: and say, hmmm, nope, think I had them way too high.

482
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop them to sixteenth instead of fifth. Now,

483
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: if you're in the power ratings world like I am,

484
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: if you do what I do in the JP pole,

485
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: that's not really the way you think. The only thing

486
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: you're thinking is well, who would I favor against who tomorrow?

487
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: And that's really forward thinking. That's not looking in the

488
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: rearview mirror, like sure, what you've done is baked into

489
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: a stat profile that is then properly weighted in different ways,

490
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: but it's not like the kind of merit based system

491
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: that an ape pole would provide. In other words, and

492
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: by the way, if the casual public understood that, and

493
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: only that I would get seventy percent less comments than

494
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: I do on that thing, because as much as I

495
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: try and explain it, and I beat that dead horse

496
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: and then either run over it, back up, run over

497
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: it again, it doesn't matter. I am about to get

498
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: someone say, how could you have Ohio State there when

499
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: they struggled in week one? Because that's still be favored

500
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: against everyone. If they played this week, that's it. They

501
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: could have beaten Indiana seven to three, and that's still

502
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: be in the top five because they'd be favored over

503
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: those teams this upcoming week, that's it. That doesn't mean

504
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: they'd beat them. But let me ask you guys something.

505
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the ones who really keep going back

506
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: and forth with me on this stuff.

507
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 2: How long do you think it would take?

508
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: How many seconds do you think it would take for

509
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: people to put you out of business? If you truly

510
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: ran a sports book and you released I for the

511
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: public to bet on. Right in line with the comments

512
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: some of you guys are making on the JP pole,

513
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: you would be it would be poverty sports book in

514
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: two milliseconds.

515
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: Because you can't do that.

516
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Now where I'm a little out on the periphery is

517
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: like with Oregon. I'm telling you right now, confidently I've

518
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: got Oregon fifth and the JP pole. There are certainly

519
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: more than five teams in the country that would be

520
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: favored over Oregon on a neutral field. According to a

521
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: Vegas odds maker, that is this model, saying, nahh.

522
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: I disagree with that. Now.

523
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: I think the model's ultimately going to be right. Starts

524
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: this weekend. I think Oregon's going to go to Texas

525
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Tech and they're going to.

526
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: I think they're going to win.

527
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: But it's not it's going to sound stupid. It's not

528
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: always about that. It is about what kind of critical

529
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: factors and characteristics do you show. It's about a profile

530
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: as a team. Again, this is not how I would

531
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: act as a playoff committee member. If I were a

532
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: playoff committee member, I care if you win games because

533
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: that's what sports are about. But if I'm trying to

534
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: do a power rating, totally different. So anyway, ranking's never

535
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: hurt anyone.

536
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: If we're in the ap Era, Yes, rankings hurt people

537
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: all the time. But it's okay.

538
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: We got out of the Evil ap Era for that

539
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: very reason. They're watching us in Mill Hall Pennsylvania, Omaha, Nebraska,

540
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: San Juan, Puerto Rico.

541
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: You ever heard me.

542
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Trying to roll my rs? Jesse?

543
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: Have I ever done that to you?

544
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: Port the lco Best I can do, best I can do,

545
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: everybody can do it. But two things I can't do.

546
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: I can't roll my rs and I can't I can't whistle,

547
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: like with my my fingers in my mouth. And I've

548
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: always been envious because it feels like it's a prerequisite

549
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. I don't know anyone who

550
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: has risen the ranks of coaching who is not able

551
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: to do the like the two finger whistle. And meanwhile,

552
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm over here bragging calls. I can whistle, breathing out

553
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: and in. I got the, but I've also got the

554
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: That's about all I can do. All right, Let's add

555
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: something to the Ramen Noodle Express here, and then let's

556
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: bring Cole kublick in Ramen Noodle Express best bets. And

557
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I want you guys to remember, keep in mind Friday

558
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: Night lines. We last week we added games on Friday

559
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: night lines that won, and some of you were mouthing

560
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: off because you didn't check out Friday night lines and

561
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: you thought the Ramenuel Express had lost and it didn't

562
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: fair warning, you need to be following me on Instagram

563
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: at late kick Josh. At Late Kick Josh, I will

564
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: send out a warning about an hour before we're gonna

565
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: go live. It's it's later in the night on Friday,

566
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: and I sit there and I take the model and

567
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: I let you guys fire at me for about fifteen minutes.

568
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: Which games you're interested in?

569
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: I give you what the model thinks, but also I

570
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: usually add some bets on oh excuse me, on Friday

571
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: night lines. I was a deep pickup. So anyway, at

572
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: Late Kick Josh on Instagram. Plus, I'm gonna have wall

573
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: to wall behind the scenes stuff from the Texas Alabama

574
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: game and story Saturday, so you should definitely be following

575
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: on Instagram. There's stuff there you don't get anywhere else. Anyway,

576
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: here are the games we're on already. Oklahoma State minus

577
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: two and a half, Charlotte plus twenty four and a half.

578
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: I got Liberty minus twelve and a half, but you

579
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: can get a better number right now. Still mad at

580
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: myself about that. Tulsa plus thirty five and a half.

581
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: They're at Washington, by the way, Iowa State plus four.

582
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: That's down to three and a half at a lot

583
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: of books, because every Republican presidential candidate from here to

584
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: Tim Bucktoo is going to attend the game, which, by

585
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: the way, logistically has me confused because I've been to

586
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: jack Tri Stadium before, and I know good and well

587
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: you guys already had the Iowa game sold out. Where

588
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: do you just put presidential candidates when they're gonna show up,

589
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna sit them in it. You're gonna you're gonna

590
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: have them buy tickets off the secondary market?

591
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: Surely not.

592
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: And that press box is not air conditioned, so I

593
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: know those dudes aren't going up there. Those folks care

594
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: about their hair too much. So someone, anyone in logistics

595
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: or ops Iowa State, please fill me in on that.

596
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, we're on Iowa State plus four, We're on

597
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Appalachian State plus eighteen. We're adding another game tonight, and

598
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: we're adding despite me while telling me not to once

599
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: upon a time, we're adding Trent Dilfer and UAB plus

600
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half. Now, where are they playing. They're

601
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: playing at Georgia Southern Okay, So Oklahoma State, Charlotte, Liberty,

602
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: Tulsa Iowa State, Appalachian State, and yes we're adding UAB

603
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: plus seven and a half at Georgia Southern. But you

604
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: know what time it is every Thursday night, it's cold

605
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: cuts time, not cold. There's no D on the end

606
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: of this.

607
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: There's no D period immunity.

608
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: This is about Cole Kublick, friend of the program, acquaintance

609
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: of the program.

610
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: At the very least, we.

611
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: Bring him in, not for a Q and A, not

612
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: for a ping pong style a question and answer session,

613
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: but just like a general discussion here. Hey, Bud, how

614
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: are you doing?

615
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,720

Speaker 3: to give you a shout out, as you've done so much.

619
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: You've done so much for my career, and you've done

620
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: so much for our YouTube channel over their Cube show.

621
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: It's just hit five thousand, and I see everybody else

622
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: bragging about their one hundred and two hundred thousand subscribers.

623
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: But really I wanted to thank you for not bossing

624
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: me around as much as you do, Jesse, and I

625
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: just want to say that I appreciate that I'm not

626
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: sure how he puts up with it on a weekly basis,

627
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: But thank you for not treating me the same way.

628
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you for being much more subservant than Jesse

629
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: is a lot of people have to be whack them

630
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: old into place, and you just go with the flow

631
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: over there. So, so you were at Alabama last week,

632
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: you saw him against Middle Tennessee State. You and I

633
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: have talked about Alabama a whole lot. We both have

634
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: pretty high to really high expectations for them, and we

635
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: were throwing around a lot of not observations yet, but

636
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: thoughts about their offensive line last week. So I wanted

637
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: to go right to this and I wanted to talk

638
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: to you about what you saw because a lot of

639
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: times the theme in week one is I may have

640
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: high expectation for a team or a unit and it's

641
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: not that they live up to that standard in week one,

642
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: but I see promise, I see signs like I got

643
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: a number of teams. I feel that way about your

644
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: sky high on their offensive line in the preseason. What

645
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: did you actually see from him last week?

646
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: Well, that size in that power that we talked about, Josh,

647
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 3: it's there. I mean, three guys over three point fifty

648
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: and when they needed to get a push. There were

649
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: certain times that they did struggled with movement a little bit.

650
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: That's still a veteran front seven that they faced with

651
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: Middle Tennessee and you've got a couple of younger guys

652
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: that hadn't played a ton of football. But when it

653
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: comes together, to me, it does look like a group

654
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: that can be dominant. Now, past pros not going to

655
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 3: be their strength. I don't think they're going to sit

656
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: back there and you know, try to have five and

657
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: seven step drops forty and fifty times a game. I

658
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: don't think JC Latham that's going to be the strength

659
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: of his game. And obviously not a freshman and came

660
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: Proctor because he hasn't dealt with the kind of edge

661
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: defenders that he will in this league. But when they

662
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: find that continuity, that chemistry, they can be dominant. And

663
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: I saw that a couple of times show up in

664
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: that game. See there's one from Proctor act there a

665
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: touchdown pastor Mirroe. But I don't want to see my

666
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 3: quarterback getting hit. He has to finish that block and

667
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: that'll come with a little bit of time. There's usually

668
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: not an offensive line that just wows Me Week one.

669
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: I thought Michigan's group looked pretty good. George's group had

670
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: some ups and downs. Texas that group were high on

671
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: that one. It was kind of up and down. We

672
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: got all excited about the Auburn offense. Oh, there's so

673
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: much talent at Auburn. They were kind of up and

674
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: down a little bit because you're gonna get smaller players

675
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: that move a lot more. They're gonna play a lot

676
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: more high risk up front, and you're just not really

677
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: used to it, and you're going to game speed, which

678
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: you also haven't done in multiple months. So I don't

679
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: really put a stamp on it as this group is

680
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: this or is that? I like the way you phrased it.

681
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: Did I see signs of it? Yes? I saw signs

682
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: of this Alabama offensive line potentially being dominant, especially with

683
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: the tight end help that they're going to get this year,

684
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: which they've got a really strong room there that I

685
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: think is gonna be able to help them be even

686
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: more a group that can get a push or play

687
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: physical football.

688
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's like you fly all the time.

689
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: I fly virtually every week. You know when you take

690
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: off and you're in a seven fifty seven. Even though

691
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: it's bumpy on the way up, you have faith that

692
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: on an aircraft of that size flying a route that's

693
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: that popular, you're going to get to a cruising altitude

694
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: and it's going to be pretty smooth. And if you're

695
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: in a turboprop, if you may be in a crop duster,

696
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: it may just be bumpy the entire time. And so

697
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: I try and distinguish that, not just when we're watching

698
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: an individual unit, when we're watching teams, Like there's some

699
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: teams that may have played better last week than some

700
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: that are ranked in the top ten, but we saw

701
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: every ounce of potential out of already, and you may

702
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: have some of them. Bama's one maybe within Bama the

703
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: offensive line where you're saying, ah, we got some turbulence here,

704
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: but wow, this thing looks impressive, and I think I

705
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: know what these individuals could be. When they gel, it's

706
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: like looking at the puzzle pieces. They're just not fully interlocked.

707
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: But you mentioned Texas there before we move on out

708
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: of all of the position units on that team. When

709
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: we were talking to their team insiders and fall camp

710
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: in preseason, they do an interesting thing over on horns

711
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, they do a ranking of the

712
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: groups they're most confident in him and the offensive line

713
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: was way down the list just on the team of

714
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: the units they were most confident in. So they were

715
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: up and down last week. They go into maybe the

716
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: most difficult environment that unit will face, maybe the most

717
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: difficult team that unit will face all year. What do

718
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: you see from them against Bama Saturday night?

719
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: Once again up and down? In that game. You saw

720
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: some guys with some physical blocks and pancakes, and you

721
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: saw some letdowns, a little bit of leakage. You saw

722
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: some pass pro breakdowns. Quinn had to move around a

723
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 3: little bit on a couple of throws. You don't want

724
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: to see that last year. Actually, mclroy and I were

725
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: talking about this morning on our show. How last year

726
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: Stark really dedicated himself to protecting that group, and I

727
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: think Will Anderson was a big piece of that. But

728
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: you had other guys that could still be problematic this year, braswell,

729
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: Turner on both sides. But I think you almost have

730
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: to add Deontay Laws into that mix, because when we

731
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 3: sat down with him, I asked him, I said, what

732
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: are you most excited about this year? As opposed to

733
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: last year. You're kind of the guy. You're in that

734
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: spot the Alabama like Mike Linebacker, You're calling the plays

735
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: and whatnot. He said, I'm excited about blitzing man, to

736
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 3: be honest with you, He's like, I think I'm gonna

737
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: to get a chance to do that more this year,

738
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: and he can be someone who could be very successful

739
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: doing that. Does Sart take that approach? Is it a

740
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: lot of twelve personnel. There's a lot of six and

741
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: seven man protection. There's a lot of quickball distribution which

742
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: allows you quick or slide protection, which is a college

743
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: football epidemic that we're heading towards. We could talk about

744
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 3: on another day. But he did a great job doing that,

745
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: and in his quarterbacks did a great job getting the

746
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: ball out quickly. I don't know if he feels like

747
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: he has to take that route right out of the

748
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: gate this time around, but I think he's gonna end

749
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: up having to take that route at some point this

750
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 3: time around. The Texas offensive line has got a ton

751
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: of talent and they can play good football. It's just

752
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: you're dealing with a different animal when it's Braswell. Turner

753
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: potentially lost in coming a boy b showed me a

754
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: little bit from that group. Even younger guys, like when

755
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: Dais Robinson may be able to stow up in there

756
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 3: and give you something every now and then. I don't

757
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: think Alabama's going to have to dedicate five six seven

758
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: guys to get a legitimate rush on Quinn Yours or

759
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: whoever playing quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. So I don't

760
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 3: see them just holding up on their own. I think

761
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 3: Alabama is too good, too talented for that.

762
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm not alone in this, but look, let's just talk

763
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: about some predictions that we made, some thoughts we had

764
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: in July and preview magazine season that already just feel

765
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: a little uneasy. I like, many people had Clemson playing

766
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: for the ACC Championship game, and then I watched what happened,

767
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: albeit well it actually it was a conference game, so

768
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: never mind, they didn't even start out a conference. So

769
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: I watched what happened against Duke. And here's the way

770
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: I watched that. You can tell me what you thought

771
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: about it. They had a bunch of turnover issues and

772
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: they ended up twenty eight to seven. I almost wish

773
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have had the turnover issues so that people

774
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: could see, even if they played a much cleaner game,

775
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: it just would have been a dogfight against Duke instead

776
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 1: of a blowout loss against Duke.

777
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: And so my point is, I.

778
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: Think a lot of people, because of what history tells

779
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: them about how turnovers are randomized, a lot of people

780
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: are falling back on that false sense of confidence and saying,

781
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: up to and including the head coach, there, once we

782
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: get this cleaned up, we'll be fine. Man Like, once

783
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: we get this cleaned up, we'll be off to the races.

784
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: We'll be the same old Clemson. I just flat out

785
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: don't believe that. I don't think they'll look special at all.

786
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't think their skill position, talent out wide looks

787
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: special Outside of will Shipley. There's nothing special to me

788
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: about their tailback group. And therefore I don't put it

789
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: all on k Klubnick. I just don't know that he

790
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: has the weaponry around him to make himself look overly special.

791
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: And so I'm already feeling very nervous about that. It's

792
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: not that it's not that they can't win a few games,

793
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: but man like the acc collectively, we're gonna talk about

794
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: this later. If Miami looks good, forget about beating A

795
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: and him if they just look pretty good Saturday. That's

796
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: yet another in a long list. All of a sudden

797
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: of potential roadblocks are really really high hurdles for Clemson. Dude,

798
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna play for the conference championship.

799
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: And if I had to bet today, because they're already

800
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: ohe in one in conference, I'd say no, I don't

801
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: think they're gonna play for it, which then should force

802
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: someone to ask me, Okay, well, Josh will, if not Clemson,

803
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: who's gonna be opposite FSU in that title game? And

804
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: my answer is we'll settle down, buddy. It's only week two.

805
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: That's what my answer would be.

806
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: Right now. Total hypocrite with.

807
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 3: Clemson fans will tell you settle down, buddy, it's only

808
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: week two. To the things that you brought up, I

809
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: love the point. First off, Guilty had Clemson in that game,

810
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 3: didn't think it was gonna be a great season, didn't

811
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: have him in the preseason top ten. A lot of

812
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: folks were mad about that, but I'm with you in

813
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 3: that it didn't look very special in a lot of places.

814
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: I thought the defensive line had a chance too. I

815
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: thought the linebackers had a chance to Shipley a Shipley.

816
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic player. Even Kate Klemnick at times doesn't

817
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: look special. And that's where they were different in years past,

818
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 3: is that they had guys that you couldn't manage at receiver,

819
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 3: at defensive line, at linebacker, at quarterback, at tailback. And

820
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: I don't look at a lot of Clemson's roster that

821
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: I saw Monday night as unmanageable. You brought up a

822
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: great point on your show. I think it was Tuesday

823
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: night when you thought. The most damning thing that came

824
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: out of that broadcast was at the end of the

825
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: game when Lougan Bill said, I have seen no speed

826
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: differential between these two teams on this field tonight. That's

827
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: a holy mother statement to me, because like that's not

828
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 3: supposed to happen. And we can talk about the five

829
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: star differential, whatever the hell we want to talk about that.

830
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: The reality is you saw two teams that athletically looked

831
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: like they were on the same page. Now, there was

832
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: a whole nother direction. We can go with that with

833
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 3: transfers and where they are and what they're not getting

834
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: what other teams got. But then you go to the

835
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: second half, and physically, Duke was the dominant team in

836
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 3: that game up front, on both sides of the ball.

837
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 3: I love what you said about turnovers because I didn't

838
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 3: I didn't think those Clinton's first score. I find that

839
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 3: mistaken came from a botch punt. Yeah there, so all right,

840
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: So I mean that that helped them. I didn't think

841
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: that that game was because of the turnovers. There was

842
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: nothing flukish about that game. Duke took that game from

843
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 3: CLI in a lot of different ways. And to fall

844
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: something else you said, I really like this. What does

845
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: get cleaned up during a college football season? Maybe that's

846
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: a conversation that we need to have at some point,

847
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: because you can I've I think I equated it to

848
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: tackling when you said that, give me a bad tackling

849
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 3: team the first three four weeks of the season, that

850
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: all of a sudden week sick we were sitting here

851
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 3: talking about. Man, remember when that team couldn't get guys

852
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: to the ground. Boy, they fixed that. What do you

853
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 3: think they didn't practice? They started rolling that giant doughnut

854
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 3: stuffed around the field and they just got it under control.

855
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 3: Penalties last year, if there's one coach that can get

856
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 3: something figured out, it's probably Nick Saban. They couldn't get

857
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: penalties figured out last year. I mean literally could not

858
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 3: come up with a solution to how not have eleven

859
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 3: or twelve penalties a game. Most of these things they

860
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: don't auto correct. It doesn't work that way. And yes,

861
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 3: it's one week, it's one game, but man, that's a

862
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 3: scary something to think that you might have to get

863
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 3: corrected over the course of the season.

864
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, say stay in the Palmetto State because I mean

865
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: you watch offensive line for every one of these SEC teams.

866
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: At the very least, South Carolina was dreadful all along

867
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: that unit. And look, Shane Beemer and his staff, they're

868
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: really good at marketing, they're really good at promotion.

869
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: I think it serves them well.

870
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: But a lot of times what it can do is

871
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: it can lead to this false sense of security that

872
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: everything's okay, and then you show up in week one

873
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: and if everything's not okay, it can lead an outsider

874
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: to say, bro, did you really not know this was coming?

875
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: You seem so cheerful, you seem so upbeat. Did you

876
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: not know that your offensive line was going to be

877
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: a sieve? So you watched them, and I wholeheartedly agree

878
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: with you. That kind of stuff normally doesn't get cleaned

879
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: up unless you're getting hurt guys back, and that's not

880
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: really what's going to happen with them on the old line.

881
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what are they going to do the rest

882
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: of the way, because they don't have like a five

883
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: or six week stretch before they get to their next

884
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: tough game.

885
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: Now, in some of the fronts they're going to play

886
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: are just outright scary. I don't know another way to

887
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: put it. I think you have to find ways to

888
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 3: work around it for now and maybe it can improve.

889
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 3: I don't think this is gonna It's not a group

890
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: that's gonna turn into ninety five Nebraska all of a

891
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: sudden at any point in the season. You got to

892
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: work around it, and you go look at some different

893
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: offenses over time that have not had a lot of

894
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: talent up front or just not playing great football up front,

895
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: whether that's quick ball distribution out into the flat, or

896
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: it's a couple more quarterback runs that you have to

897
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: add different formations that remove defenders from the box, utilize

898
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 3: tempo just a little bit more to try to wear

899
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 3: some defenders down. Where maybe they don't have as much

900
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: success for us in the passer against you. All those

901
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: little things that you can add schematically are going to

902
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 3: have to be added because I think when Juice Wells

903
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 3: gets back close to one hundred percent, they still have

904
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 3: good weapons and they still have guys who can be

905
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: matchup problems. It's just you're not gonna have a ton

906
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: of time to operate or do other things because of

907
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: your offensive line. So you need to find ways to

908
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 3: be successful on offense because of the other things that

909
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 3: you have, and that may need more quick protection, side protection,

910
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 3: six seven man protection. They got to get somebody back

911
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 3: opposite the get to be able to offset it a

912
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: little bit. But this is not a team, Josh, that

913
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: I think three four, even eight weeks from now we're

914
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about is living and dying by the

915
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 3: run game and utilizedn't play action off of it. It's

916
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: just there was too much that looked too bad in

917
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 3: that opener against North Carolina.

918
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: So I don't know what else you're on the hook for.

919
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm on the hook for things such as having Oklahoma

920
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: State playing for the Big Twelve championship, and I mean

921
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: they skirted by someone last week and then Mike, I mean,

922
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: look to Mike Gundhy's credit. Dude has no filter at

923
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: this point in his life, not that he really ever

924
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: has much, but he just is in full dgaff mode

925
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: every time he meets with the media. So he steps

926
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: to the podium in Stillwater the other day and says, hey, guys,

927
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: he's laughing at himself. He says, hey, guys, get this.

928
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: So we kind of quietly sucked in week one. So

929
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: I met with my staff and I started chewing him out,

930
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: and I say, guys, if we do this against TCU,

931
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: if we do that against TCU, when we do this

932
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: against TCU, and he said. One of my staffers had

933
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: to stop me and say, Coach, we don't even play

934
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: TCU this week. And I'm like, oh no, oh. And

935
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: he's willing to admit it too, So I'm not backing

936
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: off of it. I'm gonna ride it. But it is

937
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: strictly because of this alleged schedule that you see on

938
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: your screen here if you're listening on podcast. Somehow, some way,

939
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State plays in the Big Twelve. They play a

940
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: conference schedule in the Big Twelve, and Cole I kid

941
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: you not. They play one team from the state of Texas,

942
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's Houston. That is my only hope at this point.

943
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: I did not exactly see them firing on all cylinders

944
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: like I hoped. So they got I think they got

945
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Arizona State Saturday. Of course we're.

946
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 2: Betting money on them.

947
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: This piece of paper right here kind of indicative of

948
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: my hopes and dreams in Oaks State at the moment.

949
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if any have kind of crashed and

950
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: burned like that. I have a couple that I'm second guessing.

951
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 3: You know, I had Kentucky as the second best team

952
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 3: in the East. I think there's still a lot to like.

953
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: I thought Trevin Wallace the great at linebacker. Ray Davis

954
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 3: looked awesome.

955
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, he kind.

956
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: Of like him and Marshawn Lloyd out at USC. I

957
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 3: feel like they just completely transformed their bodies as running

958
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: backs and they look like totally different individuals. I may

959
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: have jumped I'm not gonna say I believe it, but

960
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 3: maybe I jumped the gun on saying us he can't

961
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: win a national title. I still don't believe I can.

962
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 3: But they look good for two weeks in a row,

963
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 3: so yay. But everything does. I mean, I had Texas, Okay,

964
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 3: Baylor I thought was going to be a pretty good

965
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: football team, So I didn't have been the Big Twelve

966
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 3: title game. I had Texas and Kansas State. But yeah,

967
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: that one, that one was one that really surprised me

968
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: that I would have been wrong on. As you asked me,

969
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: what was Baylor going to be capable of this season?

970
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 3: And they still the offense, still put up yards.

971
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they made mistakes.

972
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: Some of those, as we just discussed, could be correctable.

973
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: Some just may be a part of who you are

974
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: inside of your DNA, that part of it. I was

975
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 3: more surprised about the defense that they put on the

976
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: field against a T. J. Finley led Texas State team,

977
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: which not many of us thought we'd be saying this

978
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 3: time around, this earlier in the year.

979
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: Dude, I mean speaking of Big Twelve press conferences before

980
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: we move on, I was listening to Randa because I

981
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: wanted to know what went wrong when you lose a

982
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: four touchdown favorite and you're struggling just to stay in

983
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: the game. And Dave Randa never pulls punches, especially against himself. Anyway,

984
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: You're almost like, coach, take it easy on yourself.

985
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: A little bit. It's okay, it's not that bad.

986
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, one of the problems we've had throughout

987
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Fall camp is we cannot get our wide receivers lined

988
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: up on the ball properly. And we thought we had

989
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: it corrected, like this last week of practice we were

990
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: good at it, and then all of a sudden we

991
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: could not even snap the ball half the game because

992
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: we could not get our receivers.

993
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: Lined up on ball off ball.

994
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: That right there, For a guy who I view as

995
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: very detail oriented, very attended to that sort of stuff.

996
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: I was talking to one dude close to Baylor.

997
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: He says, we kind of feel like the result on

998
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: the field has detached itself from what Aranda's personality is.

999
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: And I've heard that before, not about him. I'm just

1000
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: saying I've seen teams where that happened before and it

1001
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: never ends. Well, I don't exactly know what's going to

1002
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: happen out there, but I don't have.

1003
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 2: A good feeling about Baylor at the moment.

1004
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 3: Well, here's the weird part about just that individual statement.

1005
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: If that was if that was Central Florida or Oklahoma,

1006
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 3: or Ole.

1007
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 4: Miss or Tennessee, I could get it, because there's like

1008
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: there's a whole different operation that you have to go

1009
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 4: to to play that position for those schools and understand

1010
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 4: where to be and when to be there and how

1011
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 4: to get there.

1012
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they teach certain guys to peel routes off

1013
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 3: at a certain point in time and not finish your

1014
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 3: route to go get lined up for the next play.

1015
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: Like what's official to hand the ball to? They spend

1016
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 3: time on that in camp. It's not something a lot

1017
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: of teams do. But that's not there. I didn't expect

1018
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: to hear that. No, So you look at that, Is

1019
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 3: that correctable? Maybe we'll go back to Florida. We talked

1020
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: about them last week, like penalties. Two guys with the

1021
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 3: same number on By the way, Middle Tennessee had two

1022
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: thirty eighths on their punt team. Nobody saw it after

1023
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: a penalty and they came back out again, which was

1024
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 3: a little bit agreedious. So I thought, not a penalty

1025
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: on that. But some of these things are correctible. But

1026
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: that's just not one that I expected to hear from Baylor.

1027
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: All right, So everyone always wants to know what the

1028
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: story is going to be in a week before it happens.

1029
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: Got a really weird week coming up, So they struggled

1030
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: out of the gates. South Carolina falls, Florida falls, Lsu falls,

1031
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, golf clap for Tennessee getting done against what

1032
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: used to be Virginia. So this week the schedule's crazy

1033
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: looking because you got you got like Old Miss going

1034
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: to Tulane. Of course, you got Texas at Bama. A

1035
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: and m goes to Miami. Auburn goes to cow which

1036
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: might as well be Osaka, Japan for people in Lee County.

1037
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: A and m I mentioned, goes to Miami.

1038
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: You got Vandy at Wake Forest, And I'm thinking to myself,

1039
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: outside of the Texas Bama game, none of these games

1040
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: are just grabbing the country's attention. But yet, if any

1041
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: one of them, especially like Old Miss Tulane or Auburn

1042
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: cal if any one of them starts going sideways for

1043
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: the SEC team, that thing's going to be put from

1044
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: a far side screen onto the main screen and TVs

1045
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: and living rooms all over the country. And it could

1046
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: either be it could either be a status quo week

1047
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: for the SEC because I mean, if if you go

1048
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: six and one against the schedule, no one's going to

1049
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: say anything. But if you go three and three, or

1050
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: if you go like two and four something like that,

1051
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: and you had the week one you just had, he

1052
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: could be a really, really tough weekend for the SEC.

1053
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think anyone actually sees that coming yet.

1054
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: Are you saying that there are people who cover the

1055
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: sport that may go a little bit of an extra

1056
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 3: mile to have some fun with that? If the SEC

1057
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 3: were to lose a couple of these games this weekend,

1058
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 3: not including Alabama Texas.

1059
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm saying there is someone, There are multiple someone's out there.

1060
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: If I had to bet with national media credentials who

1061
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: already have SEC, it just means less saved as a

1062
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: draft in tweets right now? Or excuse me, zets, I

1063
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: feel that that's the case.

1064
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, We'll start with Auburn cal This is

1065
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 3: scary game. I've tried to warn Auburn fans be careful

1066
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 3: with this one. We had Stanford Steve on this morning

1067
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: just because you brought up the time, and his first

1068
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 3: response was because I introduced that game with nine thirty

1069
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 3: Central on ESPN. He's like, I love when all of

1070
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: you guys the South have to put the time on

1071
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: the gate when it kicks off out West bro let's

1072
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 3: when the game kicks off, Like, why is that funny?

1073
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: Don't We don't have nine thirty kicks here very often

1074
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 3: in our own stadium. So yeah, it's a little weird.

1075
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what the quarterback situation is gonna be.

1076
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 3: But if Stam Jackson the fifth plays, he is what

1077
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 3: was that video game where like you played in the

1078
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 3: parking lot like NFL Street. He is like legit NFL Street.

1079
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 3: When he's in the game, he was taking snaps and

1080
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 3: just sprinting to the right and then pulling up and

1081
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 3: decide who to throw the football to. But he can

1082
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: he can run. He's got a big, strong arm. But

1083
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 3: then Ben Finley came in and actually ran the offense

1084
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: is an absolute stud of tailback, super smooth. He can

1085
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 3: kind of just squirm in through very small homes. He

1086
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 3: creates yards on his own. He's got some power. It

1087
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 3: is their offensive line plays hard, the d line plays hard.

1088
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: I think this is a very dangerous game. Be very

1089
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: careful with this game. If you're offered, you can't go

1090
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 3: in there, turn the ball over three or four times

1091
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 3: and sleepwalk through this one. Same thing with Mississippi State.

1092
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely love this Arizona team. I'm gonna be honest with you.

1093
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 3: Jade Delara loaded with talent. We know he's got the ability.

1094
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 3: Does he give some games back? Yes he does, But

1095
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 3: you can I'll say this, you can tell Chuck cecil

1096
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 3: Is on the Arizona defensive staff because that's the way

1097
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 3: that they play football. There's a lot of times they

1098
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 3: don't seem to care about making a tackle. There's a

1099
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 3: lot of times that they don't seem to care about

1100
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 3: being in coverage. But by God, they want to knock

1101
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: the hell out of you on a regular basis, and

1102
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna do it. The big transfer they got from

1103
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: Georgia in the middle on the defensive line, I think

1104
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 3: he can be a problem. The offensive line plays hard,

1105
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 3: big and physical. They have a really cool scheme. They

1106
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 3: got every formation in the book. They're gonna motion you

1107
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 3: and Tea Matt can absolutely go every He can grab

1108
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 3: every single ball out of the air that he wants to.

1109
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 3: So they're dangerous at wide receiver. Mississippi State had some

1110
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 3: trouble in the perimeter, so watch for a lot of

1111
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: quick outlet throws early from Arizona. That's how I would

1112
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: attack them. East West see if you can get some

1113
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 3: yards that way, and then when you get your shot plays,

1114
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: you take them. State's gonna give them one on ones,

1115
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 3: and Jade de La has proven from what I watched

1116
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 3: last year and when I watched Week one, if he

1117
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: gets a one on one, he's throwing it. He's gonna

1118
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 3: chuck it down the field. So I think those two

1119
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 3: are dangerous. Then obviously Michael Pratt and too Lane, I

1120
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be okay. I think he's gonna go.

1121
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 3: That's just they get that at home. You don't think

1122
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 3: that game means a lot to that group. And they're

1123
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: a more physical bunch that people give them credit for.

1124
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 3: They're not your typical power, you know, group of five.

1125
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 3: They're smaller and can't push people around. I feel like

1126
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 3: up front they match up fairly well with old myths.

1127
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: So if Jackson darshtoo what he was doing last week,

1128
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 3: they'll be fine. But again three games that if these

1129
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: teams think they're gonna be able to sleepwalk through or

1130
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 3: play average football against and still win, it will not happen.

1131
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: I think if Miami beats Texas A and m points

1132
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: spread wise, it's not massive at all. The line on

1133
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: the games like four or four and a half right now. Perceptionally,

1134
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: it's like a bomb going off in college station, because

1135
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot of confidence after one week against the

1136
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: team from New Mexico. But I get it because a

1137
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of those folks just looked at the buttons. The

1138
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: offense was pressing, regardless of whether they're playing against air

1139
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 1: or not, and they said, Wow, we're gonna actually try

1140
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: and do this this year.

1141
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: Huh.

1142
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: And if they go down there and they stall, and

1143
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: if that rebuilt Miami offensive line, which is really young,

1144
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: looked good last week but's really young, if they start

1145
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: to push, if they start to re establish a line

1146
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: of scrimage against AMM which has five stars on the

1147
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: three deep on the depth chart this week, by the.

1148
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 2: Way, you talk about uncomfortable.

1149
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: And also simultaneously, we'll get to throw a parade for

1150
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: Miami being back nationally. That's what the media would do.

1151
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: So again, you're talking about a lot of games where

1152
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: you would have the sec quote unquote expected to win.

1153
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: This one looks a little tighter points spread wise, but

1154
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: there is not a soul west of the Mississippi River

1155
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: who is picking Miami to win this game or giving

1156
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: them the respect of even expecting them to be within

1157
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: one possession late, and if they do it, it's kind

1158
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: of like you burn all that equity you just built

1159
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: up in week one. Then everyone starts to question everything

1160
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: and selfishly, just as like a science experiment, I want

1161
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: to see the first time it goes a little sideways,

1162
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: gets a little wobbly.

1163
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: For A and m this year.

1164
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to see how it's handled

1165
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: internally out there, you know.

1166
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 3: Because you and I have talked about is there an

1167
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: issue internally? Is there a culture problem? I don't know

1168
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 3: if there is, I'm not accusing it. None of us

1169
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 3: are ever going to know because we're not there. And

1170
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 3: I think a lot of times when you do have it,

1171
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 3: the people who are inside, they don't even know it

1172
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 3: until it's way too late and everybody's getting run. So

1173
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 3: I think the other question there would be what is

1174
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 3: the national perception of Miami right now? Do people think

1175
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 3: that they're a team that has some talent? Do people

1176
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 3: think there are going to be a really good football team.

1177
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: Do they think they're a very capable football team. I

1178
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: kind of don't really know the answer to that because

1179
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 3: it's been a fairly quiet offseason, minus you know, lifeblood

1180
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 3: or life support or whatever it is. Other than that,

1181
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 3: we haven't talked about the actual team a whole lot

1182
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 3: and what they have. You mentioned an offensive line should

1183
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 3: be upgraded via transfer and recruiting. You have a quarterback

1184
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 3: who's been really good at times, he's been very average

1185
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 3: at times, and it feels like a little bit more

1186
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 3: Miami speed on that roster than there has been in

1187
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 3: the past. So I agree with you. Texas A and

1188
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 3: m is a better team up front on both sides

1189
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 3: of the ball. They should be able to control this

1190
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 3: game there. I love the running back depth they showed

1191
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 3: last week. The receivers, they're all over the place. They

1192
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 3: could do a lot of different things. Wigman looks in

1193
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: command of that offense, and everybody's gonna say against who

1194
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 3: when you play these other teams. That's fine, But he

1195
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 3: was in command of the offense, and that's what I

1196
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 3: wanted to see from him, that he's not going to

1197
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 3: have to do a ton. He doesn't have to be

1198
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 3: Johnny Football for them to win games. Leyden Robinson played

1199
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 3: good ball. That oline looks like it might be back.

1200
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 3: They should be able to push people around, They should

1201
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: be able to disrupt up front on that defensive line,

1202
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 3: and that should be close to enough in the majority

1203
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: of the games that they play, specifically this one.

1204
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: Your friend, my producer, producer Jesse, that's the syndrome he

1205
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: suffers from. He suffers from against who syndrome. That's all

1206
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: I hear week one after coming into the office. It

1207
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: does not matter if you scored nine, one hundred and

1208
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: thirty seven points on someone, out of his mouth will

1209
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: come the.

1210
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: Words who did you play against?

1211
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Hoops?

1212
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 2: So I get it point taken.

1213
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: Man. Sometimes, like if you look, if you're playing Michigan schedule,

1214
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna say who have they played in November? Because

1215
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: they're not even going to be more than what a

1216
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: single a double edgit spread will be on every game

1217
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: they play until November. So you got to be able

1218
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: to at least draw something from what you're watching on

1219
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: the field. Okay, I know you've prepared some helpful questions

1220
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: for me, and you had some goodness last week and

1221
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: we didn't have time, so I said, you know, hashtag

1222
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: never again. I will not I will not leave you

1223
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: full handed. I want you to empty the barrel when

1224
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: you come on here. What do you have?

1225
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, one or two may be the same, but I

1226
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: think they could be different based on what we saw

1227
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 3: from week one. So I'll ask you again, more likely

1228
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 3: to get two teams in the College Football Playoffs? Big

1229
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: Ten or SEC?

1230
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: Well, here was the problem.

1231
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: So I predicted the Big Ten to have two in there,

1232
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: and both of those teams have won games. Penn State

1233
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: I've predicted to being Ohio State. I've predicted being taking

1234
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: considerable flak for even believing that Ohio State can go

1235
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: better than seven.

1236
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 2: And five right now.

1237
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say it's more likely the Big

1238
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: Ten can because even if I'm wrong about Penn State,

1239
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: that just means Michigan probably had a really good year.

1240
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: So I'm still gonna say more likely it's the Big Ten.

1241
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 3: Hey, I'll be honest with you. I kind of liked

1242
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 3: I feel like Kirk Kirkstreet was running the offense part

1243
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 3: of the time for Ohio State, but I kind of

1244
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 3: like the under center, like offset. I like run, just

1245
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 3: ground and pound. I don't know, I know people up

1246
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: in Columbus probably weren't a fan of it, but I

1247
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 3: was kind of loving it all right. More likely National

1248
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 3: champion ACC or PAC twelve.

1249
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: After having seen Week one, I would have to go

1250
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: ACC because like I didn't at any Clemson obviously, so

1251
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: but once we saw Florida State and all that transfer

1252
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: talent that they were saying in fall camp, we hit

1253
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: on all our transfers.

1254
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 2: And of course people say that all the time.

1255
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, uh managements calling Hey, I got

1256
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: to call you back because we're recording right now. I'm sorry,

1257
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: I need He.

1258
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 2: Still wanted to talk. Not even you do that. He

1259
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: still wanted to talk. So I'm gonna go ACC.

1260
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: But if you asked me this a week ago, which

1261
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: you did off air, and I gave you a totally

1262
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: different answer, I would say PAC twelve because I'm really

1263
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: high on Oregon and also I've got Southern cal in

1264
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: that mix. But I'm gonna go ACC right now.

1265
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: And that's one team, right, It's it.

1266
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: Really is just one team. Yes, my hopes and dreams not.

1267
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 3: Interesting because and that's why I thought it was interesting,

1268
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 3: because listen, I'm not gonna watch that Oregon film. I

1269
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 3: don't even know what that was, but it's I don't

1270
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: need to watch a scrimmage to decide what a team's

1271
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 3: gonna be. Like, I'll wait and watch some more later.

1272
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 3: But Washington and what they did. USC, as I stayed earlier,

1273
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 3: has looked pretty good. So I was interested to see,

1274
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 3: would you go maybe the one better looking team or

1275
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 3: with the best winning college FOOTBA right now, or the

1276
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 3: three or four teams that have played very good football. So,

1277
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 3: by the way, DJ looked really good on Sunday, So

1278
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 3: just saying Oregon State, they're there, all right, this is

1279
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 3: a fun one. More passing yards in twenty twenty three.

1280
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 3: Jalen Milroe, Peyton Thorn or Haines King.

1281
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: I think it'll be Haines King, actually, because I think

1282
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: he'll he'll play catch up enough.

1283
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: But I could say the same about Thorn. If I

1284
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 2: say that.

1285
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: About Milroe, we got big problems.

1286
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say Haines King.

1287
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: By the way, not that it was actually on everyone's radar,

1288
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: but when he started going off a little bit in

1289
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: week one, I started fielding some texts on the eye

1290
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: Josh from some A and M folks who were noticing saying,

1291
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: hold up, you mean you mean Haines King wasn't the

1292
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: problem the whole time. You mean, maybe his surroundings were

1293
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of the problem. So I'm gonna go him.

1294
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: I think actually Milroe will be I don't know, Milroe

1295
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: could throw thirteen balls per game ended up having like

1296
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy yards just because everyone is gonna.

1297
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 2: Be a deep ball. I'll tell you what I'll go.

1298
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Since I think Bam is going to be really really

1299
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: high up there and rushing, I'll go Haynes Kink one.

1300
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: I'll go Peyton Thorn two if you can guarantee me health,

1301
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: and I'll go mill Roe three.

1302
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 3: Because Thorn obviously is going to have Robbie Asher taking

1303
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 3: some yards away from him, not necessarily passing, but of

1304
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 3: course you know, running the football all right. Finally, better

1305
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 3: video game all Time Mario Kart or GoldenEye.

1306
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 1: Mario Kart, but only because I took a principal stance

1307
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: against GoldenEye, because I had Mario Kart before everyone. And

1308
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: my buddy who lived over in Hickory Hollow. I'm more

1309
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: of a Pine Ridge subdivision. Yet my friend over in

1310
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Hickory Hollow, he got GoldenEye first. He used to get

1311
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: a jump on all the Goosebumps books too, aggravated me

1312
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: to no end because he knew the right Walmart to

1313
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: go to. So that's parenting. That's just good parenting. So

1314
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: I never bought GoldenEye. I didn't like it. I never

1315
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: played it. I don't know what a Gatlin gun is.

1316
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: I have no clue.

1317
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: I've just heard of it. I'm aware that it exists.

1318
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I have no clue about it. So Mario Kart, give

1319
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: me the banana peel over the game gunn all.

1320
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 3: Day and you'll never even know how to work proximity minds.

1321
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: I feel bad for you.

1322
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: It is what it is. But where are you at

1323
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: this week? By the way, which game you got start?

1324
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: Phil? I've got that Arizona at Missisippi State game. I'm

1325
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 3: looking forward to it. I'm a little worried about getting

1326
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 3: back to Birmingham after the game because of where you'll be.

1327
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 3: But I think I think it's got a chance to

1328
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 3: be a really good game. I'm telling you there are

1329
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 3: a lot of parts of this Arizona team that are dangerous.

1330
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to golf clap you out of here. Cole
