1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I am. I am so fired up for the show now, Colin,

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: you know what, forget the intro. Put the tweet up

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: for me. I know we don't usually leave the show

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: off like this. Manuelatcho works for FS one. This came

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: out of his well, his mouth slash Twitter account yesterday

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: last night, probably about as angry as I've been in

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: a long time. Quote. With the national championship hopes gone,

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams USC quarterback should consider sitting out the rest

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: of the season. The Heisman is a long shot, college

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: football playoffs are even less likely, and he won't play

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: in the bowl game. The risk of playing far outweighs

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: the reward business decision. Welcome to the show tonight. That

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: is garbage. It's what that is. And you got used

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: to seeing that kind of stuff in twenty twenty in

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: a different vein, cause I got news for you, just

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: like I did back then. And I'll tell you once

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: more and then it'll be a much happier show after this,

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: I promise you. Not everyone who covers this sport loves

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: this sport, and not everyone who works to cover this

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: sport views it as a destination. It's just a springboard.

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: It's just a wrung on the ladder, and neither of

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: those things in and of themselves are morally wrong. If

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: you don't love covering this sport, that's fine. My advice

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: would be, don't cover the sport. And if you don't

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: view this as a destination, that's okay. I'm all for

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: professional advancement and you pursue your passions. Here's the thing,

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: there are people who love this stuff. You would call

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: them an audience. For example, I've got one, Emmanuelacho has one.

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't know the dude personally, never met him before

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: and really couldn't care less because he could be the

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: best person on the face of the earth. No one

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: is immune from horrendously bad takes. That's a really bad take.

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: It's terrible. And the audacity of people who get paid

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: to cover this sport rushing to the nearest phone to

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: tweet out and advice to kids to not play the

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: sport is basically how you turn off an audience really quickly.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Will be people, as I say this tonight, the five

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: percent who come and they defend Aucho, and they defend

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: that kind of take, and they try and take a

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: moral or intellectual high ground. You know, the types I'll

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: mention why in a second. You know the types, and

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: that's okay. I fully believe I'm speaking for the ninety

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: five percent who either saw that or just heard it.

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Now when I say it kind of makes you want

45
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to throw up when you hear it. And Manulacho is

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: not a nobody. This is not a dude with thirty

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: seven followers on Twitter. He is nationally recognizable, and so

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: when you say that kind of stuff, it matters. It's

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: like the college football playoffening of the sport back about

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: ten years ago. When you had this idea, this started

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: to permeate the concept of meaningless games, meaningless bowl games,

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: and people on National Network started to say that stuff,

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, players started to believe

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: it was true because they heard the folks at the

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: National Network say that sort of stuff. And then all

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden you had guys opting out of bowl games,

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: which you had never had before. And then all of

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, you had people thinking that if you've lost

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: two games, you got to mail it in. Let's just say,

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: if I got potential, let me go get ready for

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the draft, And you had fools masquerading as college football

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: media types that wanted to sound like they were above

63
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: the room or they had some bigger vision in mind.

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: For these guys advising them, yeah, you probably should sit.

65
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything left to play for. Well, there

66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: is something left to play for. If you're a competitor.

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot left to play for, if you're a

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: man of your word, if you follow through on any

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of ambitions you have, there's a lot to play

70
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: for for some of us. I'm speaking selfishly now. For

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: some of us, this is the pinnacle, and I don't

72
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: even care if it's not the pinnacle for you, just

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: like I don't really care if you don't like eating steak.

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I personally love it. I got friends who are total

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: vegans who would never touch the stuff with a ten

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: foot pull, and I'm happy to hear their opinion on it.

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: But if you apply for a job at Morton's and

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: you walk in the kitchen the first day and start

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: railing against meat consumption, you're gonna get blowback, just like

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a Manuillatcho rightly got blowed back by posting that garbage opinion.

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm done with that now. A lot of you wanted

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: me to talk about that. Welcome to the show. What

83
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: a week eight we just had. This is Late Kick Live.

84
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: We are high at top a sun drenched downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I've got a nice little sunburn setting in Colin Jesse.

86
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: I didn't see you guys over at the park today,

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: but I made my way over there. I'm back from Columbus, Ohio.

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I was in my apartment by seven o'clock last night,

89
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: and that game ended at three point fifty in Columbus.

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: So hats off to everyone there, Hats off to Southwest Airlines,

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Hats off to an unnamed car service up there. It

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: was a fun day though, So I'm going to talk

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: a lot about that full Week eight reaction. You know,

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the drill on Sundays, It normally doesn't start off that contentious.

95
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: I just can't stomach that stuff. I'm so tired of it.

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty, you found out a lot of

97
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: people don't really love this sport because they pushed for

98
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: it to be canceled. And while that's not nearly a series,

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: it's what we saw back in twenty twenty. I cannot

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: stand it, cannot stand. If you don't live, if you

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: don't love the sport, just don't cover the sport. How

102
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: about that, go do something else. Ryan Day got some

103
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: stuff to say about him tonight. James Franklin got some

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: things to say about him. Dabo trouble, Lincoln Riley, maybe

105
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: bigger trouble. We got upsets off the top rope to

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: talk about. Anyone hear the words wrong team favored said

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: on this show again last week? And did anyone watch

108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: the game that that phrase was attributed to last week? Well?

109
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: I did, and I have some thoughts on it. We've

110
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: got the Week nine tour reveal coming up. I got

111
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: best bets. We got a load of show. They're watching

112
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: us in Saint Augustine, Florida, Newark, Canoe, Jersey, Raleigh, North Carolina,

113
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: and Boise, Idaho are all tuned in. And if you're

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: tune in for the first time, what must you think

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: about how this show normally operates? I promise you it's

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: not normally like that. I promise it's not. And hey,

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: quick hat tip to Floyd of Rosedale back here, one

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: of the lowest scoring classics in the history of college football.

119
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: I had to explain the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy slash

120
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota Iowa rivalry to someone who was being baptized into

121
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: said rivalry for the first time the other day. Believe

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: it or not, I got even more animated than I

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: just did about Acho. But all in good fun and

124
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: congratulations to Minnesota for taking home the floyd in a

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: game that otherwise we are not going to spend a

126
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about on the show tonight, but

127
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: we will spend time on this. Ohio State beat Penn

128
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: State yesterday twenty to twelve. The Once upon a Saturday

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: Tour was in the shoe. It is the first time

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: in five weeks that we have not seen a game

131
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: come down to pretty much literally the last play enough.

132
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: While it was still a one possession game, it was not,

133
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, the nail bier that we've become accustomed to.

134
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: And that's on me. You know, you think you're just

135
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna take Danny Kennell on the road with you and

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: things are going to continue to flow smoothly, and that's

137
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: just never the case. When has that ever been the

138
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: case for us? It's never been the case. Nonetheless, a

139
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: fun time was had by all producer Jesse notwithstanding he's

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: pure e or vibes today he's down pretty bad, but

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: it's okay. Penn State's still got everything left to play for.

142
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: The word alarming was the word he used to describe

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Penn State's performance here. But we talk about the winners first,

144
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: and there have been some really wild takes flying about

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: this game. So you know how I say all the

146
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: time that phrase just because something hasn't mean doesn't mean

147
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: it won't be this kind of Game's the reason I

148
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: say that A lot a Ryan Day team. What is that?

149
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: What's a Ryan Day team? You've heard it in the past.

150
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: A Ryan Day team can't do this, or a Ryan

151
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: Day team wouldn't be able to do that. Well, Ryan

152
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Day can't get it done. That's what I heard after

153
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the Michigan losses or the Georgia loss last year. That

154
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: can't can't can't instead of han't, hasn't hasn't. And I

155
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: don't really like to use that word in the definitive

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: because you never know what the finished product of a

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: program or a coach is, because you never have a

158
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: finished product. They're humans. Ryan Day's no different. They're always evolving,

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: and the good ones are improving while they're evolving. What

160
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday was the result of an entire organization

161
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror after last season and just being

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: brutally honest with themselves and getting really intentional about forming

163
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: themselves into the kind of product that you saw yesterday,

164
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of product that can For the

165
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: second time this year, failed to top twenty points and

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: win a big game, this time at home. The Notre

167
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Dame game was on the road. They've been intentional about evolving.

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: What I saw yesterday was sort of the byproduct of

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: a program led by a head coach and Ryan Day,

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: that got really brutally intentional after last year about never

171
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: being the second most physical team on the field in

172
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a big game again, and this sitting the last one.

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: They're going to play like that this year. I know

174
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: what's down the road, but yesterday they faced an extremely

175
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: physical opponent. There was a path for Penn State to

176
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: win this game. And the path was Penn State to

177
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: come in there and do what maybe they've seen Michigan do,

178
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: and that is sort of try and bullio iiO State,

179
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: try and put them on skates a little bit, get

180
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: Ohio State and alley in other words, And the thing

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: about it is they did. They got Ohio State in

182
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: the alley. Ohio State just pulled out a bigger baseball

183
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: bat because it's a different caliber team, because it's a

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: different it's a differently wired program, I feel like right

185
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: now than it has been. Jim Knowles has a lot

186
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: to do with that. Probably adjusting strength and conditioning and

187
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: really just adjusting mentality has a lot to do with that.

188
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Padlock stats all over the place. Man, When you hold

189
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: your opponent to one of sixteen on third down and

190
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: one of three on fourth down, when they're two of

191
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: nineteen on third down and fourth down combined, that's insane.

192
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison might as well own property in State College.

193
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: He owns everything else there. Twenty one catches three forty

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: seven and one touchdown over the last two games against them,

195
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: and yesterday. Man, you don't have abuka. Everybody knows where

196
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: it's going on certain plays, or at least you think

197
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: you do, and it goes there anyway, and there's not

198
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: much you can do about it necessarily, you know, breakdowns

199
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: on the part of Penn State. Maybe you view it otherwise.

200
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: I just think it's a phenomenal football player Penn State,

201
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: you know. I'll talk about them in a second. I

202
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: got a lot of thoughts on them. Ohio State ran

203
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: forty four plays in Penn State territory. Penn State ran

204
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: fifteen in Ohio State territory. I would say that's pretty

205
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: much a padlocked stat but it's it's fun. It's fun

206
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: because you again you hear people tell you what you

207
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: have to do. And just a few years ago, like

208
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: within the last decade, the pendulum had swung radically and

209
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: it became you have to be able to score forty

210
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,359
Speaker 1: or forty five a game to win a national championship.

211
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: And at Ohio State and Ryan Day had those kind

212
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: of teams and they don't have that kind of team

213
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: this year. They got the kind of team that, at

214
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: least as of right now before they maybe get some

215
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: guys back from injury, can do what they did yesterday

216
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: and they can just win a slug fest. Okay, well,

217
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: does that mean they can't do something? Bama is the

218
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: same way? Does that mean they can't do something? Georgia

219
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: may be the same way. They ain't got brought Bowers

220
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: right now? You know how serious I am because I

221
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: said they ain't got him instead of just they don't

222
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: have him. Is that the case? Or maybe just we

223
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: just have a different style of college football on our

224
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: hands this year, or maybe did the pendulum start swinging back?

225
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Maybe was that offensive revolution not so permanent as it

226
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: was presented to us? Who knows? Who knows? Now, let

227
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: me talk about Penn State for a second, because I

228
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: got a feeling sneaking suspicion when we talk about Ohio

229
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: State a lot over the next two months. So there's

230
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: one phrase. I'm sure a lot of you have heard it.

231
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of you have very well participated in it,

232
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and it's okay if you have. I just happen to

233
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: disagree the phrase or not a phrase. The idea that

234
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: James Franklin is overrated is floating around a lot right now.

235
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: James Franklin's overrated. I heard it a million in one

236
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: time yesterday. And here's the evidence they give. He's one

237
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: to nine versus Ohio State, he's three and six versus Michigan,

238
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: He's three and sixteen against ap top ten teams. This

239
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: is where the bumper sticker logic will get you, because

240
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: you say he's overrated, and this is your evidence. And

241
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: I ask you who out there is touting James Franklin

242
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: as being better than Urban Meyer or Ryan Day. I

243
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: don't ever hear anyone say that. So you're not gonna

244
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: present his record against Ohio State to me as evidence

245
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: that he's overrated. I don't hear folks telling me James

246
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Franklin is superior to Jim Harball right now. So you're

247
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: not going to tout Harball's record against Franklin as evidence

248
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: he's overrated. And then you get to the other stat

249
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: because you figure, if you don't have me on the

250
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: first two, surely you got me on the three and

251
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: sixteen versus AP top ten teams. You know what I

252
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: did today? I had producer Jesse go through McGrady, who

253
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: is stats and n and find how many of those

254
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: nineteen games Penn State was a point spread favored him,

255
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: because that's when you're overrated. When they're favoring you to

256
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: win and you're not winning, that's when you're overrated. They

257
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: were favored in one of those nineteen games, and they

258
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: won the one game they were favored in. James Franklin,

259
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: please hear me, is not overrated. James Franklin is the

260
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: most accurately rated coach in America right now. It is

261
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: so crystal clear where he falls in the pegging order.

262
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: He's not Ryan Day. Penn State's not Ohio State, he

263
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: is not Harball. Penn State is not Michigan, and it

264
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: is not top five caliber. But it's a little bit

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: beneath that. And James Franklin likewise, is where that would

266
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: That's where we peg him as a head coach, like

267
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: that's exactly where he fits. How's the overrated? He's only

268
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: overrated if you continually rating him, if you continue to

269
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: rate him above coaches he doesn't beat. We don't do that.

270
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: He's only overrated if you continue to favor him against

271
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: teams that are beating him. That doesn't happen. He wins

272
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: the ones he's supposed to win, largely, he loses the

273
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: ones he's quote unquote supposed to lose. Now, if I'm

274
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: a Penn State fan, I'm listening to that and saying,

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: this doesn't work for me, brother, this doesn't work because

276
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: we should be better than that. That's the conversation you

277
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: should have, not whether he's overrated. Franklin's not overrated. He's

278
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: accurately rated. Do you deserve more? Should you expect more? Now,

279
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: that's a fair question. That's a valid conversation to have.

280
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: How wide is the gap. You know my feelings on it.

281
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: If I put Marvin Harrison over there in white and

282
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: blue yesterday, it may very well be a different outcome.

283
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: If I just switch one or two plays without Marvin

284
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Harrison over there on the visitor sideline, it may be

285
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: a different outcome. Not a huge gap, not not an

286
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: insurmountable gap at all, but there is one, and it's

287
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: still there, and maybe they've closed it, you know, inch

288
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: by inch, it's still there. But the whole overrated thing,

289
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't have much time for it because it's not true.

290
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: It's not true at all. Now. Ryan Day, on the

291
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: other hand, I've heard a fair amount of you call

292
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Day overrated as well. And Ryan Day was never

293
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: overrated in my book. But you're starting to see something now.

294
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: You're starting to see Ryan Day do what other great

295
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: coaches do, and that is evolve, and that is as

296
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: they're a young head coach. Then you get two, three, four,

297
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: five years in all of a sudden, you start to

298
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: add layers onto your game. You start to add wisdom

299
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: based layers onto the evolutionary identity of your program, and

300
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they can win games now in

301
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: a manner they could not win them in a few

302
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: years ago. They got intentional about making those changes after

303
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: last year. You got to get on the West coast

304
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: and Lincoln Riley, who can't do it for the life

305
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: of him, And you got a guy in Columbus, Ohio

306
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: who can, who can hire the right way. You think

307
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: he would have settled for what Alex Grinch is providing

308
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: USC out on the West coast right now. They didn't.

309
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: They didn't. At Ohio State. They got intentional about getting better.

310
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: They got intentional about being elite on both sides of

311
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: the ball. You're not fascinated with one side and then say, oh,

312
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: screw it, do whatever you want to do on the

313
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: other side. That's how you have happened to you what

314
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: continues to happen to Southern cal when they play Utah.

315
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: And so you look at Ohio State and all of

316
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: a sudden they'll be okay, they'll be better years offensively

317
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: for Ohio State. But I don't think they're going to

318
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: lose the idea of the blueprint and the formula and

319
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: the identity that they have now formed defensively, that right

320
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: there is going to be here to stay. And if

321
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: they don't have it in a given year, they won't

322
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: settle anymore until they find it again. That's how you

323
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: know you got a legit coach on your hands. Where

324
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: are we going this week, Colin? We were just in

325
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: Columbus and so it wasn't cold. It was mildly chilly,

326
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: sun peeking out behind the clouds. Mind you, I'm from

327
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: the Columbus Georgia region, not Ohio, so I know some

328
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: of you guys had your shirts off up there yesterday.

329
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: More power to you. I need a warm weather week.

330
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: And we've also got the fine folks at Capitol One

331
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: coming on board with us this week to basically just

332
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: like provide blowout coverage for this particular stop on the

333
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Once upon a Saturday tour. So we are packing up

334
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: the van, well they are, I'm gonna fly, and we

335
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: are headed down to Jacksonville, Florida for Georgia versus Florida.

336
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: Been to this game several times, very intense, and we

337
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: are going down there with all the sudden Florida right

338
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: back in the thick of the SEC East race. Georgia

339
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: is still undefeated Georgia. It'll be the first full game

340
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: we've seen without brock Bowers two weeks for both teams

341
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: to prepare. I think this one will be good. I

342
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: think it'll be really good, And we're gonna have a

343
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: lot of additional coverage down there than maybe we normally

344
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: would on just another given week. Split it right down

345
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the crowd, fifty to fifty. It's gonna

346
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. More details throughout the week

347
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: as to what kind of coverage we'll be providing down there.

348
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: It's not even just me going. We got I hear

349
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Uncle Dennis is gonna be there. That's what I heard.

350
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: I heard Emily Proud is going again. These are all

351
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: just rumors and in the window and conjecture. I'm the

352
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: last to find out, because I don't go to the meetings.

353
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm the last to find out. But I'm sure it'll

354
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll make its way to me eventually this week.

355
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. Once up on a Saturday tour

356
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: headed to Jacksonville. Oh, let me press send on this tweet,

357
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: by the way, send all right now, the people who

358
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: are inexplicably not watching the show live also know. Let's

359
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: move on. And as we move on, if you're listening

360
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: on podcast, there is a mysterious change to the color

361
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: of the liquid in the chalice, which I just took

362
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: a sip from. I'm not gonna leave you guessing. This

363
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: right here is purple as you can see, because Kansas

364
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: State just obliterated TCU and I called it, and the

365
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: model's an idiot for thinking otherwise, and I called it.

366
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: And I texted Kansas State staffers before we went on air,

367
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: and I let them know when you see this purple

368
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: liquid tonight, it's for you. I'm talking about them later

369
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: in the show, but I'm just telling you I'm I

370
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: am very, very interested in Kansas State and how they

371
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: are rapidly evolving as a team. Some folks wrote them

372
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: off and you should not have done that. It's not

373
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: just some foregone conclusion. It's Texas and Ou and then

374
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: forget about the rest of them out there. No two

375
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: things you need to remember. Iowa State is still alive.

376
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: And also Kansas State's in this thing in Oklahoma State's

377
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: in it. So yeah, a lot of fun to be

378
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: had in the Big Twelve. Anyway, This next segment has

379
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Big Twelve. Bama beat Tennessee

380
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty yesterday. I forget where it is

381
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: in Genesis. But somewhere along the way when God invented

382
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: college football and he said, let there be four quarters.

383
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: This right here is why football games are four quarters.

384
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: And I have the eye Josh in my hand right now.

385
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: And I grew up in the South, so naturally I

386
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of buddies from all different program affiliations,

387
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: and I got a fair amount of my social contingent

388
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: that are Bama fans. And they sent some very objectionable

389
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: content to me at halftime in this game yesterday. They

390
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: know who they are, but I will not out them.

391
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: Good for me for being a good friend. Don't text

392
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: during games, don't tweet whatever you do during games, because

393
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: it's just going to come back to bite you. And

394
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: it came back to bite a lot of Bama fans.

395
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: I had folks with cigars in their mouths an hour

396
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: after they had written the team off and said, let's

397
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: get on to twenty twenty four. Look what are we doing, guys?

398
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: Come on now. The game will end quick enough. You

399
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: don't have to get ahead of the curve. It's not

400
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: like you're beating social traffic or anything like that. Tennessee

401
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: led twenty to seven at halftime of this game. I

402
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: was on a plane watching the second half unfold somewhere

403
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: over Kentucky. I guess, and all of a sudden, Bama scores,

404
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: and then they score again, and then again, and all

405
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they've gone twenty seven to oh in

406
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: the second half. Three explosive passes. We talked about that

407
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: stat the other day, talked about how Bama hadn't run

408
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: the ball great, they played good defense, and Milroe kept

409
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: hitting bombs, and he did again yesterday. This is the

410
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: one game I was ready to see, though, because this

411
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: is the one team in Tennessee that just ran the

412
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: ball all over A and M. And I wondered, will

413
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: they be the team that kind of runs the ball

414
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: on Bama more so than Bama thinks anyone's capable of

415
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: running it on him? And it wasn't really the case.

416
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee had three point five yards per carrey. Now, look,

417
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: Bama hadn't been good running the ball all year, so

418
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they ran it for three point three

419
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: yards per carrey doesn't surprise me. Tennessee probably needed it

420
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: to work out a little bit better than that. Alabama

421
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: outscored in the opposition seventy nine to twenty four and

422
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: third quarters right now, by the way, when they lost

423
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: against Texas, and we were there for that game. When

424
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: they lost against Texas, they looked vulnerable, and then I

425
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: would argue they looked even worse the next week, albeit

426
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: in a win against USF. Pause that moment in time.

427
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Go back to Week three. Post Week three, Bama just

428
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: lost to USF, and you look, and they've got ole

429
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: mess coming up, and they go back to back road

430
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: games at Mississippi State, at A and M. They got

431
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Arkansas coming in before you know, Arkansas's a disaster, and

432
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: then they've got Tennessee. So Tennessee will be the eighth

433
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: consecutive game they've played. Then they'll have the bye week.

434
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: What did you think their record was going to be.

435
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Surely most people thought they'd be at least one more

436
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: loss coming. I may have been among you, by the way,

437
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: and they haven't lost one. Now they're still in the

438
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: thick of everything. All their goals are in front of them.

439
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Quarterback is at least figured out, Like you're not gonna

440
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: have the elite quarterback play there, but it's figured out.

441
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: And you got Tommy Reese probably calling about as good

442
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: a game plan as he's gonna call for Jalen Milroe.

443
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: Defense is on fire, so they can win games defensively.

444
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: They've got a wide receiver one in Jermaine Burton. What

445
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: are they capable of? They got LSU in two weeks.

446
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: What is Alabama capable of? Feel that way about a

447
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: few teams right now that had kind of been written

448
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: off because you're judging them against past versions of themselves

449
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: instead of judging them against this year's field. Like I

450
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: had someone tell me Friday Washington would blow out Bama.

451
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: How in the world Washington didn't score an offensive touchdown

452
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: against Arizona State last night, but you know, beyond a

453
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: shadow of it out they just smoke Alabama. No, you don't.

454
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: You just hold the teams to different standards because you

455
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: come to expect excellence from one and the other one

456
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: is the hot new product on the block, and you

457
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: don't process the information you get from them the same.

458
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is Bama can still be competitive.

459
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: Bama can still beat anyone in the country, and there

460
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: are other teams already with blemishes they could still do

461
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: the same. I got news for you. LSU's got two losses,

462
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: and LSU if you mess around and let them stay

463
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: in this thing. LSU could wreck a lot of parties

464
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: of teams ranked higher than them. So you gotta be

465
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: happy if you're a Bama fan right now given the

466
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: limitations of this year's team, that your one loss going

467
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: into the by, get some guys healthy, and then come

468
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: out of it to stretch run starts with LSU. And

469
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: I got another game that I'm looking at. Its significance

470
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: is heavily dependent on that Bama LSU game. A couple

471
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: of games sneaking around out there right now. This really

472
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot to do with Bama. I'll get

473
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: back on track in a second, but there are a

474
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: couple of games sneaking out around right now on that

475
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: sec helmet schedule. One of them is Missouri at Georgia

476
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, and that one I think

477
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: some people are starting to at least take notice of.

478
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: But does anyone remember from your preseason that Ole Miss

479
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: goes to Georgia this year? Late in the year, they

480
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: go to Georgia and Old Miss got I think one

481
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: conference loss. Right now, now they've got to win over LSU.

482
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: I want you to picture a world where LSU goes

483
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: to Bama and wins. So Bama's got two conference losses.

484
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: So even though they've beaten Old Miss, Ole Miss is

485
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: ahead of them in the standings, and Ole Miss is

486
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: going to Georgia possibly with a chance to not clench

487
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: the SEC West, but take leaps and bounds towards being

488
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: favored to clinch the SEC West. Cause I mean, at

489
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: that point, who they had that a Mississippi State, I

490
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: think left. Yeah, No one's talking about Old Miss Georgia

491
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: like nobody's talking about that game right now with good reason.

492
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 1: It's a couple of weeks away. Don't worry, it'll get

493
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: here fast enough. Officiating was a very big point of

494
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: contention in this game. Yes, I will address it. I

495
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: will not address it to the appeasement of Tennessee fans

496
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: because I talk about officiating the same way on the

497
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: show all the time. It's one thing to say, wow,

498
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: the officiating was bad in this game. Well, of course

499
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: it was. I saw the same thing you did. And

500
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: I've had a problem, a long standing problem with the

501
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: way college games are officiated period, because there's no accountability,

502
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: at least not that you or I are ever privy to.

503
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly you can you can get private correspondence

504
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: from the League Office Monday, forty eight hours later. They

505
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: can tell you we miss this call, we miss that call.

506
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: What they don't tell you is here, here's a W

507
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: instead of the L we gave you. So what does

508
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: it really matter what you hear? Josh heiperlink care what

509
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: he hears from the League office Monday. So if you

510
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: got a problem with the officiating, joined the club. Yes,

511
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: I felt that way for a long time. However, a

512
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of you want to you want me to traffic

513
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: in the hole. Well, Bama's got the officials in their

514
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: back pocket sort of thing. No they don't, No, they don't.

515
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: It's a losing proposition for me to make this argument

516
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: on the show, Like there are hard data and statistics

517
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: profiles that I could put in front of your face

518
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: where Alabama has actually been victimized disproportionately and for an

519
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: extended period of time by the very League office that

520
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: you think they possess in their back pocket. It just

521
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: fits the narrative you want to believe in. You had

522
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven unanswered hung on you in the second half.

523
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: That's why you lost the game. Officiating is officiating me?

524
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: While used to always tell me put the game out

525
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: of each early. Don't leave it in the hands of officials,

526
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: or they will break your heart. And she was right,

527
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of you are heartbroken right now. And

528
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: in reality, if you build on a twenty seven lead,

529
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to be heartbroken it. Officiating is not

530
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna get any better at my point, so everybody. The

531
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: only fan base famously that I think has a claim

532
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: to this is Arkansas, because I really do believe the

533
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: officiating world is just tilted towards Arkansas or away from Arkansas.

534
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: Other than that you're gonna benefit from it, You're gonna

535
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: be victimized by it. Suck it up. I know that's

536
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: not what you want to hear from me. It was egregious. Okay,

537
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys to a point. It was egregious.

538
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: Some of that stuff was terrible, but not nefariously terrible,

539
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. And if look, if you're that mad,

540
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: how about ten thousand dollars in Academy gift cards? How

541
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: about that? How about tickets to the SEC Championship game?

542
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,200

564
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: I try and pop the knuckles on air, and every

565
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: time I try and do it, Colin one knuckle pops

566
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: and I don't even know if you can hear it

567
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: in the microphone. I do it at home. Fourteen knuckles pop,

568
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: only got ten fingers. I need you to bear with

569
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: me while I restart my computer. We'll wake it up.

570
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: So I need to make sure that I have a

571
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: graphic pulled up. Yes, I do, all right. So I

572
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: get home last night, I'm so proud of myself, Like

573
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: I went to Ohio State Penn State, and I was

574
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: already on the ground in Nashville by the time the

575
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Bama Tennessee game is ending. In the three thirty games

576
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: are wrapping up, and I'm in my apartment for the

577
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: night games. Again. You want to know why I love

578
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Big Noon Kickoff. That's why I love Big Noon Kickoff. So,

579
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: as you probably know, one of those night games was

580
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: on ACC Network, Taylor Tannenbauming the guys down there calling

581
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: the action. Miami beat Clemson last night twenty eight to twenty.

582
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: In overtime, I looked up the word audacity and the

583
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: dictionary at least via Google tells me that audacity is

584
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: the willingness to take bold risk or rude or disrespectful behavior.

585
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: And your boy exhibited some of that, whatever version of

586
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: audacity you think I exhibited. I saw Clemson coming off

587
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: a bye last week and I said, I don't care.

588
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I saw Miami gutted not once, but twice in a

589
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: row at Georgia two in North Carolina, and I said,

590
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: don't care, don't care. I think it's gonna completely get

591
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: turned on its ear here the wrong teams, you know what,

592
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: don't even take my word for it, Colin roll it.

593
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: The Vegas number right now is Clemson minus four. We

594
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: think the wrong team's favored. We think Miami minus one

595
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: is the right number. It's just been horrifically skewed because

596
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: of very poor turnover look the past two weeks. We're

597
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna say the turnover monster does not completely devour Miami

598
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: like an unstoppable rebel force this week. I hope I've

599
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: been vivid enough and we're going to not only take

600
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: Miami to cover, we're gonna take them to win the

601
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: game outright now. Either way, it's gonna be a topic

602
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: on the Sunday Show because either way it's just gonna

603
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: be grossly toxic around the losing program. Here. That's the

604
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: beauty and terror of college football. What more can we do?

605
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: What more can we do? We're telling you the wrong

606
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: teams favorite. Two weeks in a row, we're just nailing it.

607
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row. Clemson was minus two turnovers

608
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: after all at rest, after Miami being gutted, I'm sitting

609
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: there flat out telling you turnover is eventually gonna switch.

610
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: They did, Clemson minus two turnovers. And it's crazy thing,

611
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: isn't it. Miami wins the turnover battle. Miami wins the game.

612
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like that's the most important stat in this sport.

613
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Keep the ball, don't give the ball away. And even

614
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: if your backup quarterback starts hat tip e. Marie Williams,

615
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: even if your backup quarterback starts doesn't matter. You can

616
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: still win. Also, there is this small little tidbit. Miami

617
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight carries for two hundred and eleven Clemson thirty

618
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: four carries thirty one yards. They just got stoned on

619
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: the ground. Stoned. Miami had five sacks, that ten tackles

620
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: for loss. Get this, those ten tackles for loss negated

621
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: fifty six yards. Miami erased half a football field just

622
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: with tackles for loss. I got told Miami was done

623
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: last week. I got told Miami was finished. They were

624
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: in the gutter. Mario is gonna lose the locker room.

625
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: I got told Clemson was rested and they were gonna

626
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: get shot out of a cannon here. And then I

627
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: watched the game, and it's not that that stuff doesn't matter.

628
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: It just gets way overblown. And I'm you know, I'm

629
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: also having a little fun watching the commentary around Miami

630
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: because Miami had been They just screwed themselves two weeks

631
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: ago against Georgia Tech, and then they imploded. North Carolina

632
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: pulled away from him the next week and they turned

633
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: the ball over a time. And it's hard to say

634
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: when that kind of stuff is happening. You just got

635
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: to give Mario time. You just got to give his

636
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: players time. But see if that's the truth, that's the truth,

637
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: whether you're winning or losing in the moment, if it's

638
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna take a little more time, it's just gonna take

639
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: a little more time. Reuben Bain is a perfect example.

640
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: You got that tweet from Gabby by the way, Jesse

641
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: and Collin. So Gabby covers Miami for our Miami side

642
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: inside the you dot Com and he had a really

643
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: really good note on ruben Bain, just like how dominant

644
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: he's been. And here it is so ruben banin true freshman,

645
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: Like this kind of guy is on campus now. Ruben

646
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Bain has generated more pressures as a freshman than five

647
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: of the top ten edge rushers eligible for the twenty

648
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: twenty four draft. That's a true freshman. When we were

649
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: down there in the spring, they kept on saying, we

650
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: got difference makers in this class. Some of them will

651
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: have an impact this year. Some of them it'll be

652
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: before twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five. But it's common

653
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: like it'll happen. We just got to have some time.

654
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: It's not an overnight thing. And that's still the case.

655
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: Whether they lost yesterday or not, that would still be

656
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: the case. They went to overtime like that's a coin

657
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: flip thing. But because they happened to win the game

658
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everyone's ready to hear that again.

659
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: There's a thing I said earlier in the show. The

660
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: college football playoffening of the sport was sort of a

661
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: refitting of people's prism through which they viewed the sport

662
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: about ten years ago. So about ten years ago, we

663
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: get the college football Playoff and a lot of people's

664
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: mentalities changed because everything became about the playoff, and all

665
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, once you lost two games, you were done.

666
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: No one wanted to talk about you anymore. And the

667
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: networks that possessed the playoff contracts had every motivation to

668
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: just focus on the playoff caliber teams. And it was like,

669
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: after you've lost two games, toss you on a scrap heap,

670
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: We'll see you again in spring. Well, that is not

671
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: the way competitors think. So when Miami had lost a

672
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: couple of games, a lot of folks tossed them on

673
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: the scrap heap. That's not They still came in to

674
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: work the following Monday. They still go back to practice.

675
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Like guys are still wired to be high level competitors.

676
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: They don't look at the standings on their phone and say, oh,

677
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: we got two losses now eh, unless you're a loser.

678
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: If you're a loser, you do that. It's not a

679
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: building full of losers. So sometimes you get backed into

680
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: a corner even further and you're a little bit more

681
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: of a wounded animal. You're just more dangerous. And I

682
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: don't know that many people understand that's how sports actually work.

683
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to have played them, by the way

684
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: to get this. You just had to properly observe them.

685
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: And if you properly observe it, this wasn't hard to see.

686
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: This wasn't shocking. Okay, I'm not gonna say it. What

687
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: hard to see coming? This shouldn't shock you. And Miami

688
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: was down seventeen to seven to start the fourth quarter

689
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: back up, quarterback in They've lost two straight. Clemson's off

690
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: bye week, They've had a terrible time against Clemson. What

691
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: is there to do but compete. They just competed. You

692
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: keep chopping and all of a sudden you hear the

693
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: strange sound, Oh, this tree's actually falling down. They kept

694
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: chopping and Clemson eventually fell. And now, hey, look, with

695
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina messing around and losing to Virginia last night,

696
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: who knows what the ACC picture is gonna look like.

697
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: We got one undefeated in this conference. We got what

698
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: Jesse four to one loss teams, and then you got

699
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: Miami here, So who knows. Miami still got to play

700
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: a couple of those teams. By the way, who knows,

701
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: but man Our rule on this show is we talk

702
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: about winners, But you guys wanted me to talk about

703
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Dabos Swinny and Clemson. I got asked man the number

704
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: two question after the whole Emmanuelacco thing. The number two

705
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: question I got asked. I got asked so much today,

706
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: what do you think about Debos Swinny. Now? I don't

707
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: think anything differently about him because I got the result

708
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: I expected. I can't sit here and say I think

709
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Miami's gonna beat Clemson and then have Miami beat Clemson

710
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: and fly off the handle and say my opinion of

711
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Dabo's completely changed. That's the exact same as it was

712
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: last week. There are tools at his disposal he is

713
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: not using by choice, namely the transfer portal. I cannot

714
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: prove to you the transfer portal would have changed anything

715
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: this year. I know you kind of sometimes come back

716
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: at me and say, we didn't have scholarship room. Why

717
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: are you saying he should use the portal? There was

718
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: no roster space. That's also by choice. It's just an

719
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversation to have. There are ways to free up

720
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: roster space. They've chosen not to do it. That's okay,

721
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: that's their prerogative. But I don't know that Dabo really

722
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: looks at that and says, that's something I need to change,

723
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: just like the current staff he has up there. This

724
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: is where I tread lightly because this gets into an

725
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: area I only have a general feel on. I'm not

726
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: zooming in on a specific guy and saying he's the problem.

727
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: He's the problem. That's not what I'm doing. It's not

728
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: what I'm not even qualified to do that. I'm not

729
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: in their building. I don't know that. I just think

730
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: the caliber of their staff. It obviously took a big

731
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: hit when you got guys that Brinton Venables walk out

732
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: the door. But by and large, there's just a juice

733
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: that place had. There's an intensity that colemes And had.

734
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: They don't have it right now. There's a caliber of

735
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: athlete they had, they don't have it right now. They

736
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: don't recruit at an elite level. They recruited a really

737
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: good level. They don't supplement it at all with the

738
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: transfer portal. And that's a philosophy and it has worked

739
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: for him. That's no guarantee it will work in the future.

740
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: Because the sport doesn't stay still. The sport is ever evolving. Therefore,

741
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: the best way to go about it at Clemson or elsewhere,

742
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: theory should evolve. It hasn't evolved there. It stayed the same.

743
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: And I'm a big believer that there is an element

744
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: of pride in the room right now around Dabbo and

745
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: his view and approach to this, and every caller that

746
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: calls into a radio show and challenges it, every sports

747
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: writer that puts out an article up there that challenges it,

748
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: probably just makes him dig in his heels further and

749
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to take him anywhere. It's just not

750
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: This is in the words of Sheryl Yost and remember

751
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: the Titans, this ain't no time to be prideful, coach,

752
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: This sain't no time to be prideful. Debo. We did

753
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: a video back in the summer where we said the

754
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: worst case scenario for Clemson was seven and five because

755
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: we saw a path where things really bottomed out, and

756
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: we got a lot of pushback. Is understood. I mean,

757
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: it's really hard to see a team whose worst year

758
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: in forever has been ten wins going seven to five,

759
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: but this is worse. Kay, Like they're four and three

760
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: right now. They still got to play Notre Dame. They

761
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: still got North Carolina like they're going to I think

762
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: they're going to lose more games. And it's territory you've

763
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: not been in. You got a generation to Clemson fans

764
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: who haven't been here. Now Dabo would call it the

765
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: one percent one and a half percent, whatever he said

766
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: the other day, and need the light in the bandwagon

767
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: or whatever in the world that means. I know what

768
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: it means. I think it was an ill advised comment. Now, man,

769
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: you got some problems up there, You got some things

770
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: that need to be fixed. The answer is not fired

771
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: to coach that. The answer is not hit the ejected

772
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: button at the slightest sign of trouble. No one, well

773
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: at least not on this show. No one's suggesting that.

774
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: But a nice, nice end depth forensic audit of that

775
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: program with no blinders on, nothing off limits to being

776
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: criticized or changed is badly needed at Clemson. Hey, I

777
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: got an announcement for you. This is good news. I

778
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: think Colin Jesse I would say this is good news.

779
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Let me take a shit from the chalice. You know,

780
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: we are selective because contractually I have the right to

781
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: be very selective about the people or brands that we

782
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: do business with on this show. So I'm blessed that

783
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: CBS puts me in that position. And I have avoided

784
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: something over the past two years that a lot of

785
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: other folks out there have taken a head first dive

786
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: into because I have not been comfortable with the specific

787
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: way that some of these deals are structured, and that

788
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: is partnering with a sports book. But I have talked

789
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: to our friends over at FanDuel for the better part

790
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: of half a year now really closer to a full year,

791
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: and we have worked and worked and worked, and they

792
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: watched the show religiously. I mean, they could finish my

793
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: sentences for me. So they are absolutely one of us

794
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to, you know, seeing this sport through

795
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: the same prism. But we found areas where there was

796
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: common ground, and I think we worked out a really,

797
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: really formidable plan and a good relationship to the point

798
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: where I can announce to you tonight we're partnering with

799
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: FanDuel Sportsbook as the official betting odds provider of this show.

800

801
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: The Ramnudle Express will be exclusively presented by FanDuel Sportsbook. Essentially,

802
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you is they hurt us.

803
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: They know how big this audience is. Hey listen, they

804
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: know that we live in this lane anyway. They just

805
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: like their's to be the lane that you exclusively you know,

806
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: do your sports b and so what I would not

807
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: ever do on this show is lead you astray and

808
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: ask you to do something that I would otherwise advise

809
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: against if I was off air. Nor will I do

810
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: that now. But I will tell you this. That's the

811
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: one I use. And you've heard me say that a

812
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: few times unsolicited. I've said that a few times, but

813
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. I don't come to you

814
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,359

840
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: My recommendation, as always is if you don't understand anything

841
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: about it, don't do it. That's my recommendation always and

842
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: always will be, no matter who sponsors the show. But

843
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: if you already do it, do it wisely and do

844
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: it with the best in the business. FanDuel is the

845
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: best in the business. And Friday Night Lines Ramindtle Express.

846
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: Those are two of the ways I communicate this sort

847
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: of thing with you, because I know not every one

848
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: of you is into this, and so we carve out

849
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: portions of the show and you know what those are about.

Speaker 1: it for. So appreciate David and the guys over there.

858
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: Look at all those fancy words at bottom of the screen.

859
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate the guys over there for making that possible. All right,

860
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: let's move on in the show. Oh, this one's going

861
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: to be uncomfortab I just know it. You can always

862
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: tell when there's an uncomfortable segment coming up, and this

863
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: is one of them. So Utah beats USC last night,

864
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty two. And there was one thing

865
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out last week, and that was as

866
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: people started to break this game down, I got the

867
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: sense nationally that after Southern Cal went and lost to

868
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: Notre Dame handedly, that folks just thought they were gonna

869
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: get right. They were going to use the Utah game

870
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: to get right. And we did the show last week

871
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: and I said, they may win, they may not win.

872
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: But whether they win or not, Utah is not a

873
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: team you just use to get right. That's not them.

874
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: They've beaten you three in a row. Well now they've

875
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: beaten you four in a row. They double dipped you

876
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: last year regular season and conference title game. They'll run

877
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: the ball down your throat. You have struggled to stop

878
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: it all year. You've had turnover issues. They're number one

879
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve and turnovers. Why would you think

880
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: this is just some get right, tune up, Let's get

881
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: ready for the stretch run. They are the stretch run

882
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: for you. Man that if anything, you should be uncomfortable

883
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: playing them. Well, fourth straight win for Utah over USC,

884
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: or as you would call it, ownership of USC continues here.

885
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: Utah came into this game cam Rising's out. Whittingham has

886
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: now announced he's out for the year, so he exclusively

887
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: produces this show. He is no longer the starting quarterback

888
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: for Utah, won't be all year. Inside joke there. If

889
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: you know, you know, If you don't, don't worry about it.

890
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: Utah comes into this game sixteen explosive plays all season.

891
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: They had eight in this game, fifty percent of their

892
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: entire season to that point. They just had him yesterday.

893
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: Forty seven carries, two hundred and forty seven yards on

894
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: the ground. It was pretty much the formula you would expect.

895
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: And also they harassed Caleb Williams and the offensive line

896
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: had issues all night. Kyle Whittingham is the best coach

897
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve who in the world argues that

898
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: right now, I don't know. He had and always does

899
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: have great quotes. After the game last night, he said,

900
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: they've got Heisman Trophy quarterback. But we got a quarterback

901
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: that's a pig farmer, and we love that kid too.

902
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: Salute I mean, as someone who has a pig right

903
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: over his right shoulder here on every show, Salute all

904
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: the pig farmers, especially the ones who moonlight as quarterbacks

905
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: for Utah. Just could not have any more respect. And

906
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm not joking about that, could not have any more

907
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: respect for Kyle Whittingham and his program. Everyone has a

908
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley take today. I tweeted out last night, It's

909
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: a good thing I don't have a Saturday night rapid

910
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: reaction show because I'd get myself in trouble. If I

911
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: had a rapid reaction show, I would have got myself

912
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: in trouble after this one because I would have started

913
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: mouthing off some rumors that have floated around the USC

914
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: program and I don't need to do that, but I'm

915
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: pretty much gonna broach them here over the next couple

916
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: of minutes anyway. So it is what it is. So

917
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: Southern Col's allowed thirty four points and four straight games

918
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. They are not serious about defense.

919
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: USC is not a serious program about physicality. I know

920
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: they're not because they're not intentional about it. Sure, if

921
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: you ask Lincoln Riley, would you like to play elite defense,

922
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: he'd say yeah. But they're not intentional about it. They

923
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: just don't care enough. Well, it's tough to tackle in practice.

924
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Utah does it. Utah doesn't struggle with that stuff. Is

925
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: it altitude or something they have a different way of practicing. No,

926
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: they're just intentional about it. They're intentional. The same teams

927
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: are physical every year and the same teams are soft

928
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: every year because they're intentional about it. Southern Col's not

929
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: serious about that stuff. Something feels off about that program.

930
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: They lack physicality, they lack any kind of discernible focus

931
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: on defense, any kind of trajectory that indicates they may

932
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: be getting better there if their recruitings not lighting the

933
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: world on fire right now. They can't match intensity in

934
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: games like the Notre Dame game, games like the Utah game.

935
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: No players provided to the media postgame yesterday. It's just

936
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: minor league stuff. I will tell.

937
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 2: You it it.

938
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: Several of those things are tell tell signs that a

939
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: head coach is not focused on his business. There are

940
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: some people behind the scenes. A lot of chatter last

941
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: week that believe Lincoln Riley's got one eye on the NFL.

942
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: I have not talked to him about that. I have

943
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: no idea if that's true, but I know there are

944
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: people who believe it's true. Whatever that's worth is whatever

945
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: it's worth. If I were to hear that, the first

946
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: thing I would think is, let me go watch his teams.

947
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: How dialed in do they seem, How focused do they

948
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: how intense do they seem, or how wobbly do they seem.

949
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: That's a wobbly team and a wabbly program right now.

950
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's not trying. That doesn't mean his

951
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: staff's not trying. That doesn't mean efforts not being given.

952
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: It just means not enough is being given because the

953
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: result is not enough. Now they're sort of at a

954
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: crossroads point in this season, and that crossroads is for

955
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: all the hate Dabo Swinning gets. There's a reason why

956
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: he's had to be drug kicking and screaming to even

957
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: a conversation about the transfer portal, because his fear is

958
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: a team constructed through the portal will fracture far more

959
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: easily than a team constructed through traditional means. And you're

960
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: about to see that tested called Southern cal is the former,

961
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: not the latter. A lot of transfer portal pieces here,

962
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of acquired assets here, and you're gonna find

963
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: out exactly how strong that adhesive is, how strong the

964
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: mortar is between those bricks, because there's a difference in

965
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: players and a team, and you're about to find out

966
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: whether they got a bunch of players out there or

967
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: do they have a team because they've got one conference

968
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: loss right now. So everything's still there, at least in

969
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: terms of the conference title race. Everything's still there. But

970
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what else is there. Washington's still there

971
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: on the schedule, Oregon's still there, Ucla is still there.

972
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: They're not better than any of those three teams right now.

973
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I wouldn't favor them against any of

974
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 1: those three teams neutral field right now? Six and two.

975
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: What happens if that's eight and four? What happens if

976
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: God forbid at seven and five? Because nine and three

977
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: is not even good enough for him? So what happens

978
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: if it's worse than that? At the very very best,

979
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: there have to be wholesale changes made and a total

980
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: rethinking of how that program operates. At worst, you're looking

981
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: for a new head coach next year, not because he's fired,

982
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: but because he's chosen to go elsewhere. And look, I

983
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: want to reiterate that's going to be clipped out of context.

984
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: I have no specific knowledge of that. I am telling

985
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: you this reeks of the kind of program that you

986
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: see when a guy does have one eye on something else.

987
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: We've seen that in the past, and so I'm saying

988
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me. That's what I'm saying. And the

989
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: other thing I'm saying is, even if that's not the case,

990
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: I know you can't make wholesale changes in the middle

991
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: of the year, but I'm very interested if Lincoln Riley's

992
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: here to stay, which I hope he is because I'm

993
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: a college football guy and I actually like Lincoln Riley.

994
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: I hope he gets things figured out there. But when

995
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: they get to the end of the year, what kind

996
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: of changes is he willing to make? What kind of

997
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: deep dive and you know, what kind of long look

998
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: in the mirror is he willing to do on that program?

999
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. They're watching this in Zebulun,

1000
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Newtown, Pennsylvania, Sacramento, California. I appreciate you guys.

1001
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: So I open up my DMS the other day and

1002
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: I have something that looks it's like an image. So

1003
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: I open it and it's a fore Erunner and it

1004
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: looks a little worse for wear. And then I looked

1005
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: at the message below it from Colton. He said, quote, Hey, Josh,

1006
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: I was listening to your Sunday Night show on podcast

1007
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: on my way to school yesterday morning. When I spun

1008
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: out and I flipped my car. I just wanted to say,

1009
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: there's no show I'd rather almost die to than late kick.

1010
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: Also thoughts on Nebraska's chance to go bowling since this

1011
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: DM was sent to me, I'm happy to report Colton

1012
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: is fine. The fore Runner not so much, but it's okay.

1013
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: A car is just a car. And Nebraska has beaten Northwestern,

1014
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: which is the most important point of all. And now

1015
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: they sit four and three. They've got Purdue, Michigan State

1016
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: or what used to be Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin, and

1017
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: Iowa left on the schedule. Colton, get well soon, happy

1018
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: car hunting. I think Nebraska's going to make a bowl

1019
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: for you. This is what we call pay state material. Also,

1020
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: a chalice of supremacy will be being sent to Colton. So, Colton,

1021
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: I need your shipping info. I can't send you an

1022
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: entire four erunner because we don't have boxes big enough.

1023
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: But I can send you a chalice of supremacy. So

1024
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: shoot me that shipping information. Thank you, my friend. Let

1025
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: me read this sentence once more. There is no show

1026
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: I'd rather almost die to than late kick. Also, he

1027
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: put the salute emoji in there. Almost brings a tear

1028
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: to the eye, doesn't it. Oh, as did the next

1029
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,479
Speaker 1: game I have to talk about. We celebrate two things

1030
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: on this show, Floyd of Rosedale and October. One of

1031
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: them delivered yesterday. The other did not. Missouri thirty four,

1032
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina twelve. The model did not sense this coming,

1033
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: but I did. Cocktover is the new thing. Coctober is done.

1034
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: Coctover is here. He's talking to Dave bar two, our

1035
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: buddy on the West Coast before this game, and he

1036
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: alerted me to the fact that they have Missouri's coaching

1037
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: staff rated top twenty five. Bar two is a wizard

1038
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: at this stuff. Half the country consults with him and

1039
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: he is very very good, I mean like unmatchable actually

1040
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: in the industry in grading coaches. On like a five

1041
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: million point scale. And Missouri has quietly Eli Drinkwitz has

1042
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: quietly put together a really good coaching staff in Columbia.

1043
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: They they outmanned South Carolina just in terms of coaching.

1044
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: And I don't mean head coach versus head coach, I

1045
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: mean staff versus staff. Like they had the hidden edge

1046
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: in this game. That really led me to lean heavily

1047
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: towards Missouri minus the points. Interesting approach though. In this

1048
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: game South Carolina's woeful pass defense, and yet Missouri looked

1049
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: at it and said, that's great, and we'll throw the

1050
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: ball to Luther Burden a time or two, but we're fine,

1051
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: We'll just run it down the throat. Forty one carries

1052
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty on the ground, three touchdowns, five

1053
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry. It's the same approach I

1054
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: watched Notre Dame take against Southern count Notre Dame realized

1055
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: really early, we're the physically superior team. Why would we

1056
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: chance it? Like, why would we use throwing stars when

1057
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: we can just throw a cinder block at their head.

1058
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: It's fundamental. Just grab them, buy the throat, don't let go,

1059
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: and there's nothing they can do about it. And that's

1060
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: what Missouri did. Just grab South Carolina by the throat.

1061
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: You know what happens when you grab a chicken by

1062
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: the throat. There's not much they can do about it.

1063
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: Missouri six sacks, eight tackles for loss and that was it.

1064
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, the drive chart looks terrible.

1065
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: It is a Sarah McLaughlin special of a drive chart

1066
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: for South Carolina. Road Rattler was about as bad as

1067
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: road Rattler as normally been. Spencer Ratler twenty three or forty,

1068
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, an interception, It's just not good on the road.

1069
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: He's not the same quarterback on the road. South Carolina

1070
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: got to the red zone four times. They had three

1071
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 1: field goals for nine points. Like that's what they did

1072
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: when they got to the red zone. They're two and

1073
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: five now they've lost their third straight. Pass defense is bad,

1074
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: pass rush is bad, running games bad. There's just a

1075
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: lot of bad on the team. So it sounds like

1076
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm building up to trash Shane Beemer. I'm really not.

1077
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't feel anything different about him today than I

1078
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: did last week. I've seen in the past, and I

1079
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see it with this team. Seen in

1080
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: the past where you're at the mid season point. Okay,

1081
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: let's say you know a team is bad. Freeze your

1082
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: opinion of the head coach right there. Don't keep lobbing

1083
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: on and lobbing on and lie, that's probably not the

1084
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,959
Speaker 1: right term lobbing. We don't know what that means. Don't

1085
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: keep piling on and piling on and piling on, because

1086
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: what you have is you're beating a dead horse, and

1087
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: you just keep beating the thing, and all of a sudden,

1088
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: you've built this idea up in your mind that a

1089
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: coach is the worst in the history of God's creation,

1090
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: when really there's nothing more he could have done. Like,

1091
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any worse than bad. And after mid season,

1092
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: if your season is just not gonna be what it's

1093
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna be, if you don't have the horses, you don't

1094
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,439
Speaker 1: have the horses, but they don't get any worse than

1095
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: what they are. Just the result keeps presenting itself over

1096
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: and over and over again, and you can trick yourself into,

1097
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, turning your opinion and your rage up twenty

1098
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: percent more every week. That's not the way to go

1099
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: about this. I know it's not gonna be a fun

1100
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: rest of the ride. Maybe they find a way to

1101
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: sort of build a super Bowl atmosphere around the Clemson game.

1102
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: I was talking to new heisl about this when he

1103
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: was the head coach at Washington one year, and they

1104
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: they're out of contention for everything. But he said, you know,

1105
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: we had three games left and they were all against

1106
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: teams in the Northwest. So we basically we built a

1107
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: little mini trophy and we just said we're gonna win

1108
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: the Northwestern Championship. And he said it was so simple,

1109
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: it was so juvenile, but it galvanized the locker room.

1110
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: If you feel like you got something to play for,

1111
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: even if you have to create in your mind, do it.

1112
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to do that there. I

1113
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: hope they will. Missouri is deep and their physical both

1114
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: lines of scrimmage. It's not an accident. This stuff's happening.

1115
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Luther Burden is a dynamite wide receiver. One defense is

1116
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 1: playing their best ball of the year. Over the past

1117
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: seven quarters, They've given up nineteen points. They've got a

1118
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: trip to Georgia off of bye week, whereas Georgia will

1119
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: have just played Florida and they got Tennessee at home

1120
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: the week after that, and then they play Florida. So

1121
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: the three other big dogs over there in the East

1122
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: that they haven't played already, they're all coming to town

1123
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: back to back to back. Eli Drinkwitz and his staff

1124
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: have done a really good job up there. There's seven

1125
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: to one right now, they are seven already hit the over.

1126
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: I think it was six and a half. Maybe they've

1127
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: already hit the over. You know, we've got like six

1128
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: more games to talk about, but it'll be a little

1129
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: bit quicker, but we still got more to get to

1130
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: third sep from the chalice I think. So how about

1131
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: that State made such an impression. I changed the chalice

1132
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: liquid to purple tonight and we're about to talk about

1133
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: Kansas State in a second. But first, first, do me

1134
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: a favor. If you haven't already, and a twelve hundred

1135
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: of you have, but there are like six thousand people

1136
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: watching like the video thumbs up here you go for

1137
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the hearing impaired, just look on the screen thumbs up.

1138
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: That's all I need from you, and subscribe if you

1139
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: haven't already. Florida State beat Duke thirty eight to twenty

1140
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: last night. I got some notable friends of mine who

1141
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: are Florida State haters, some Seminole fans think I'm one

1142
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: of them. I am not. I'm looking for a reason

1143
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: to get to a game down there. Actually, So those

1144
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Florida State haters hit me up after this game, and

1145
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: what they do is they want to shape what I'm

1146
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna say the following night. So they tried to get

1147
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: out in front of it, and they tried to say, oh,

1148
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Duke had this game until Riley Leonard went down. Oh,

1149
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: this is such a hollow win. This is not a

1150
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: hollow win. No, it's not. This was a fight. Duke's good.

1151
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Duke's good with or without Riley Leonard. Duke's good. They're

1152
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: better with Riley Leonard. But that's a good defense either way.

1153
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Travis had himself a time last night at offense

1154
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: had themselves a time last night. They did. Duke did

1155
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: lose Riley Leonard and in the red zone they got

1156
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: outscored twenty four to three. In part because of that.

1157
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I care, but I don't care. There's nothing misleading to

1158
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: me about this. There's a fight, and Florida State won

1159
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the fight thirty eight to twenty. It's a very good win.

1160
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: They end up covering they're seven to zero. They're spotless

1161
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: in acc play. Duke is two and one in acc play.

1162
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Now keep an eye on both. Everything's still to play

1163
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: for for both of them. We finally saw Mike Elko

1164
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: lose a game by more than one possession. It took

1165
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: losing his starting quarterback for that to happen. By the way,

1166
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Florida State is at wake Forest, let's see that is

1167
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: this week, and then they got at pitt So this

1168
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: is that back to bou road stretch before Miami comes in.

1169
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: What do I even say about the next game? This

1170
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: is so disgusting to look at. Mississippi State scored seven

1171
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: and beat Arkansas seven to three? Was the final here

1172
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I there's that noise. By the way, Jesse and Colin

1173
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: call it the breach noise because it sounds like the

1174
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: sound of whale makes when it comes up for air,

1175
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 1: and in reality, it's just the sound I make when

1176
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: my sinuses are giving me issues during allergy season or

1177
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: cold season. Jerks. So Mississippi State goes up to Uh,

1178
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: this is not funny. I should not laugh. They go

1179
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: up to Fayetville and they win seven to three. There's

1180
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 1: not much to say Arkansas offensive line is terrible, which,

1181
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: by the way, means there is a lot to say,

1182
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: because that should be the specialty of one Sam Pittman.

1183
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: There was breaking news today they have fired Dan Inos,

1184
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. So there wasn't a whole lot of

1185
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: time waste there, or maybe the whole season was wasted

1186
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: on Danny Enow's but nevertheless he's out. I texted Biddy

1187
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Trey Biddy over at howksports dot com. I said, Trey Wick,

1188
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I went to Ohio State Penn State today. I flew home,

1189
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: I got in my car, I got to my apartment,

1190
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: took my shoes off, pulled my laptop out, and the

1191
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: first thing I did was not turn on the night games.

1192
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: I turned on the Walk and Talk. Trey Bitty does

1193
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: probably the single best team site piece of content that

1194
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: we have in the twenty four to seven Sports Network

1195
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: for my money, and it is the Walking Talk where

1196
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: he puts that phone on a selfie stick in Reynolds

1197
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Razorback stadium after games or on the road and he

1198
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: just walks from the stadium to his car and he

1199
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: records himself the entire time and he just lets it fly.

1200
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: And there had been some classics in the past. Go

1201
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: find the Arkansas North Texas loss from a few years

1202
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: ago for reference. Anyway, yesterday went too far from that.

1203
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: And man, it's tough, but I think it's necessary to

1204
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: listen to. But he said staff changes are coming maybe

1205
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: before the year is over, and flow in behold. It's

1206
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: almost like he has sources in the program. Danny knows

1207
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: got fired today. They got to do a full forensic

1208
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: strip down to this program. I don't think Pittman's gonna

1209
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: get let go. I'm not there. I would give him

1210
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: every opportunity, though, to totally retool everything if need be.

1211
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Remember they lost both coordinators after last year and Barry Odin,

1212
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: by the way, not the defense was the problem here.

1213
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: Odam's got UNLV six and one out there in Las

1214
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Vegas right now. But it's the offensive coordinator that really

1215
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: cost him. Kendall Brow's out and they did not get

1216
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: an adequate replacement. So let's give him an opportunity to

1217
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: do that. Oklahoma thirty one, UCF twenty nine. Now here's

1218
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: how you know I am a mature, responsible adult. You

1219
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: know what? I could come on here and say, because

1220
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot of you know what you did last week,

1221
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: A lot of you when I put this game in

1222
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: the upset alert section on Thursday's show, started trashing me

1223
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Where grown men do they're talking and I

1224
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't say a word. Bigger Man and all came back

1225
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Saturday night after you nearly got beat by Gus Malsan,

1226
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: and I have never seen so many deleted tweets in

1227
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: all my days. So that's how you roll out there, huh.

1228
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I got no problem with Oklahoma. Some people think I do.

1229
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Where they are in the JP pole. Actually they're where

1230
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: they are in the JP pole because that's where they

1231
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: stack up on a neutral field in terms of point spread.

1232
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,959
Speaker 1: That's the long and short of that. Yesterday you had

1233
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: UCF come in and take you to the limit, and

1234
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the reason is because you're an incomplete football team. But

1235
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: that's not detrimental because there isn't a complete one out there.

1236
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Michigan is, we'll see down the road. You got Wartz,

1237
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: everyone who else has got him, so you don't have

1238
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: a dynamite stable of running backs. Okay, you lost andrel Anthony,

1239
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: which is a big blow for you. You got kicking problems,

1240
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: just means you're an imperfect team. You still got a

1241
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: shot to win a national championship. You still got a

1242
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: shot to win the Big twelve. Oh and, by the way,

1243
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: here's something that's been a little bit lost in the

1244
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: in the dust of yesterday. You won a conference game

1245
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: and you're undefeated. So, as the guy who's been labeled

1246
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: sooner hater, let me talk some of you off the ledge.

1247
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: You're okay, you're okay. You got all the wiggle room

1248
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: in the world. That's what happens when you go beat Texas.

1249
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: You got yourself some wiggle room, and you're still undefeed him.

1250
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: And so they got Kansas this week. They're going to

1251
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Kansas this week. The line, I believe opened around ten.

1252
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: And then they got a game on November fourth at

1253
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and all of a sudden, everybody's recircling that

1254
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: game you never should have won. Circled it. Guys, it's badlam.

1255
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: It's the last one. Do you have any idea what

1256
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: awaits them in still Water, Oklahoma in a couple of

1257
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: weeks off back to back road games. By the way

1258
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: I have it, Jesse, is this breaking news? Are we

1259
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 1: actually using the teleprompter? Oh? Look at the dust on

1260
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 1: this thing? All right? Let me hold on, wipe my eyes,

1261
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, scroll back up. I'm gonna read it like

1262
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the old newsman that I once was breaking news out

1263
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: of Austin, Texas. Quinn, youwers suffered a Grade two sprain

1264
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 1: in his throwing shoulder. He is expected to miss time.

1265
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: It is not season ending, all right. I hate having

1266
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: to process things on the fly, but sometimes that's the

1267
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: way it works. So, Quinn, you were at grade too?

1268
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: Is that what it said? Jesse? A Grade two sprain

1269
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: in the throwing shoulder. Okay, well he's gonna miss time them.

1270
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: You got Texas's schedule in there if you don't tee

1271
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: it up in about two minutes and we'll come back

1272
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to it. I got something to say on that, all right. Actually,

1273
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: we've got two elements in this segment right here, So Colin,

1274
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: do your best, but prioritize the elements in this segment. Here.

1275
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Washington fifteen, Arizona State seven. I stayed up for this

1276
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: last night. Normally I would be traveling that late in

1277
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: the evening on a Saturday, but God blessed us with

1278
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: a noon kickoff yesterday. I was home and I was

1279
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: into this one. Kenny Dillingham takes the boys up there

1280
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: to seattle everyone for some reason thought this was in Tempe.

1281
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 1: I did too. I just had it in my mind. Well,

1282
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Washington played at home last week. Obviously they're on the

1283
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: road this week. They weren't. This was up there, the

1284
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: same place that gave Oregon nightmares last week. Kenny Dillingham,

1285
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: former Oregon offensive coordinator, goes up there and they hold

1286
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Washington to how many offensive touchdowns? None? Washington the most

1287
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: lethal offense of our time, according to some zero offensive

1288
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: touchdowns at home again Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils

1289
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: last night. Now, the good news for Washington is they

1290
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: didn't give up much either, and so they won fifteen

1291
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: to seven. Michael Pennix twenty seven of forty two, no touchdowns,

1292
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Please show the Jeff Schwartz tweet, good friend

1293
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: of the program, Jeff Schwartz, Washington scored zero offensive touchdowns era.

1294
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Listen to this. This is a paper popper. This is

1295
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: a padlock stat courtesy of Jeff Schwartz. Arizona State had

1296
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: seven drives that ended in Washington territory with zero points,

1297
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 1: including an eighty nine yard pick six for the Huskies

1298
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: that ultimately sealed it. Those are the types of wins

1299
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: you have to have if you're a playoff team. He's right,

1300
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: you don't have your fastball, you don't have your secondary pitch,

1301
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and you just got some cutter your high school coach

1302
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: taught you, and you're just having to live with that thing.

1303
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,799
Speaker 1: And somehow they did win. Do you have any idea

1304
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 1: the kind of dire straits that Arizona State has found

1305
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 1: themselves in? Do you have any idea how admiral the

1306
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: effort and the fight was from Arizona State was in

1307
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: this game to even be competitive. They are poverty on

1308
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: their lines of scrimmage in some cases to the point

1309
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: where they don't have the kind of bodies on the

1310
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: field that it takes to even risk kicking a field goal.

1311
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. I'm about to play you some

1312
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: sound from Kenny Dillingham and his postgame press conference, first

1313
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: year head coach at Arizona State. He's gonna say something

1314
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: here and the folks think he's joking. He's not joking.

1315
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 1: This is how bad it is for Arizona State.

1316
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 3: So we got to clean up and get more consistent

1317
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 3: on field goal.

1318
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 2: We gotta.

1319
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's big bodies at ASU who

1320
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 3: just go there then want to play field goal for

1321
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 3: us if you weigh three hundred and thirty pounds, and

1322
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 3: I mean it, like, reach out to our team, three

1323
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty pounds. Reach out to our team, because

1324
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 3: we need big bodies to put in their own field goal,

1325
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 3: and we're down a lot of them, and that's going

1326
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 3: to come back to bite us if we have to

1327
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 3: play with out, you know, a successful.

1328
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 2: Field goal unit.

1329
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: They can't even kick, They can't risk kicking a field

1330
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: goal because they can't even hold you off long enough.

1331
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: And they're up. They're about to beat Washington yesterday. So

1332
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what this will mean in the future.

1333
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: It could literally beat that. Washington just looked at their

1334
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: schedule like fans in media would and say, oh when

1335
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: when when you don't do that? If you're a player,

1336
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 1: you don't do You can't do that, man, because the

1337
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: GAP's never is wide between you and the teams. You're

1338
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: favored by three or four touchdowns over as it seems

1339
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: four touchdowns or Jesse, what was the spread on this

1340
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty four something like that? Yeah, Uh,

1341
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: that's that's three plays, That's what that is. That's three

1342
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: or four plays in a game. So you think that's

1343
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: why that can happen in the span about a minute

1344
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and a half, it's it's never really all that wide.

1345
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: And if you lose your focus, if you don't bring

1346
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: that fastball and the other guy does, even if he's

1347
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: asking your obese older brother to come play special point

1348
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: or a special team one point after for him, it

1349
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: can be an issue for him. Okay, we'll go with

1350
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Texas here, Director Collins, sweet sweet voice is coming my year.

1351
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: And remember news breaking out of Austin grade two shoulder

1352
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: sprain for Quinn Eewers, gonna miss some time. That's the

1353
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,799
Speaker 1: Texas quarterback. Obviously. Let's take a look at their schedule.

1354
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,799
Speaker 1: So they barely got by Houston yesterday. They've got Brigham

1355
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Young coming up at home, and then they got Kansas State.

1356
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: That Kansas State game is going to be a fight,

1357
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that. I'm not gonna tell you

1358
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: where we'll be in two weeks. That will be on

1359
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: our radar obviously. And then they got back to back

1360
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: road games. One of them's at TCU, there's one at

1361
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: Iowa State. Iowa State. We Iowa State, we are rapidly improving.

1362
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: And then Texas Tech at the end of the year.

1363
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: So one little injury can change the entire complexion of

1364
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 1: a conference and of college football. This is not season ending,

1365
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like, but quinn Ewers is gonna miss

1366
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: some time. And so what do we got. We got, Well,

1367
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: we got a couple of quarterbacks out there, and it's

1368
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: it's really funny with Mileague especially. It's really funny because

1369
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: after spring when he showed out, Milik Murphy showed out

1370
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: in that spring game, a lot of folks pursued him

1371
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: illegally through the portal and he didn't go anywhere. He

1372
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: stayed put. So you got arch Manning out there, you

1373
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: got Malik Murphy out there, and I can tell you

1374
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: talking to some folks around Texas, they they feel equipped,

1375
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: beyond equipped in that quarterback room. So let's see and

1376
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: let's move on here because we got a couple of

1377
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: games left to talk about. Virginia beat North Carolina yesterday.

1378
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: Virginia just stunned North Carolina thirty one to twenty seven.

1379
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: Virginia was a dead in the water program this year,

1380
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: one in five. I think they were coming into yesterday

1381
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: and they they put up, for my money, the most

1382
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: stunning result of the weekend and one of the most

1383
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: stunning results of the year. I would think to myself,

1384
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: if I didn't watch this game and I knew that

1385
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Virginia just beat North Carolina, I would think North Carolina

1386
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: had to be minus four turnovers, maybe minus five. Virginia

1387
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: lost the turnover battle and still won. And I'll tell

1388
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: you what, a lot of folks out there took notice of.

1389
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Terry Heffernan's offensive line is what they took notice of.

1390
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: I had a coach hit me up today and said

1391
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: the same thing. He said, I was so surprised by this,

1392
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: but I just went back and watched the film. It

1393
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: wasn't surprising at all. Virginia's offensive line just whipped North Carolina,

1394
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and very interesting because it's not the last. It's not

1395
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: the last offensive line of that caliber or better in

1396
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: North Carolina will face down the road. I even having

1397
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: said that, it's inexcusable, inexcusable to have that happen. All

1398
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: due credit and respect to Virginia. That is a much

1399
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,759
Speaker 1: better football team than Virginia, but it doesn't matter because

1400
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: this right here is not what we play football games

1401
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: on for a reason. And yesterday happened, and now all

1402
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: of a sudden, what would we have. We had a

1403
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Louisville two weeks ago thinking they ought to start sneaking

1404
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: a peek at ACC Championship game ticket prices. They lose

1405
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: to pitt North Carolina. Same boat. Now they lose and

1406
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: we got what we got? Four ACC teams with one loss.

1407
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: Now in Florida State's the loan undefeated. You know what

1408
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 1: that means. That means chaos is about to unfold down

1409
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: the stretch in the ACC. Don't look at your schedule, kids.

1410
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: If you're a fan, go for it. If you're a

1411
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,919
Speaker 1: beat writer, go for it. If you're playing outside linebacker,

1412
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: a slot receiver, do not look at your schedule. Nameless,

1413
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: faceless opponent. It's what we preach at pet State. That's

1414
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: what I encourage you to preach and practice at North Carolina.

1415
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: And lastly, I wanted to save this for the end

1416
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: because I thought maybe I'll have the entire chalice drunk

1417
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: by the time I get here. And I pretty much

1418
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:02,759
Speaker 1: have the purple liquid is purple because Kansas State is rolling.

1419
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: I watched him a month ago in person, and they

1420
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: lost to Missouri. A lot of people wrote them off.

1421
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: I didn't, but I thought to myself, the ignition has

1422
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 1: not flipped for this team. Will it flip? That's what

1423
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: we said actually on the post game coming out of

1424
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: that one. I thought it flipped when they were at

1425
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. I think that's where they were a couple

1426
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and I thought Avery Johnson comes in

1427
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 1: and it just it sparked the team. I think he

1428
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: had five rushing touchdowns. And it happens every year around

1429
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: this time. Some team gets written off in the early

1430
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: portion of the season, like they did, and then they

1431
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: get their act together and they're just right in the

1432
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: thick of it towards the end of the year because

1433
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: something unexpected happened. Well, they didn't come into this year

1434
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: thinking Avery Johnson's going to randomly come in and score

1435
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: five touchdowns force against Texas Tech. But he did. And

1436
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: then Chris Cleman says, well, we're not benching. Howard will

1437
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: play both of them, and they did yesterday and the

1438
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: model here, hello, this is the model sits there with

1439
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: a straight face and tells me TCU is going to cover.

1440
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: And I looked at the model and I said, you're high. No,

1441
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: they're not. Kansas State's going to roll. I argued with

1442
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: the model all last week on the air. Ll is

1443
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: what I say to the model humbly. Of course, three

1444
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three yards on the ground is pretty

1445
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: much the only padlock stat you need. But that is

1446
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: more than TCU had in total yards. Kansas State schedule,

1447
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: they currently have Houston on deck. Then they go to

1448
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: Texas in two weeks. And mind you, this is as

1449
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: we're getting word that quinn Ewers has a gray two

1450
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 1: shoulder sprain. The Big twelve, not that it wasn't already

1451
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: still up for grabs. It is up for grabs. Kansas State,

1452
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: by the way, does not play Oklahoma in the regular season.

1453
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Let's get to the express presented to you now by

1454
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: Fan Duel, and let's get two early best bets on

1455
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: the board. Here. I want you to take a good

1456
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: hard look at Coastal Carolina. Coastal Carolina plus three and

1457
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: a half is where this number has opened. We are

1458
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: taking Coastal Carolina and the points. And last week we

1459
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: jumped on a game early and it moved even more

1460
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: so in our favor, so we should have waited. It

1461
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: didn't matter because we won it anyway. But early best

1462
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: bets here presented by FanDuel. Coastal Carolina plus three and

1463
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: a half is the first one. The second one is

1464
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: Iowa State plus one and a half. Now, as you know,

1465
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: the last time we bet Iowa State, they won by

1466
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:52,600
Speaker 1: like twenty and we feel that the potential surge in

1467
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: quality of team here kind of up with Kansas State.

1468
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: It's not being properly baked into the market, and so

1469
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna pray on this while we can p r ey.

1470
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna pray on it. Iowa State plus one and

1471
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: a half, Coastal Carolina plus three and a half. Those

1472
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: are the early Romintle Express best Bets, presented to you

1473
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: by FanDuel. I got to get out of here because

1474
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 1: my sleep tonight will be presented by me and me alone,

1475
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: and I think we've earned it because we've been all

1476
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: over the play. Do you realize think about this for

1477
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: a second. We used to do this show to about

1478
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: an audience of twenty people down in Columbus, Georgia, same

1479
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: nights of the week. Some things haven't changed. Think about

1480
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: going back, Bradley. You're in here somewhere, so Bradley was

1481
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: down there, Bradley, imagine if we told ourselves three or

1482
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: four years from now, we will have this show, but

1483
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 1: it'll be on a national level. We will have already

1484
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: done broadcasts from LA New York, Miami, and LA. It's October.

1485
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: Who knows where else the show goes this year. That's

1486
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of mileage, a lot of mileage. And we've

1487
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: been in Dallas and Atlanta and where were we call Columbus.

1488
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: This past weekend we've been at State College. So we've

1489
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: been all over the place. We've even been to Columbia, Missouri.

1490
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: And looking forward to what the rest of the season holds.

1491
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: But it's just another in an eternal line of thank

1492
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,799
Speaker 1: yous from myself and our crew here to you guys,

1493
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: because you've you've put us on top of many of

1494
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: those charts in the digital media world out there. And

1495
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: I can tell you when we go to games like

1496
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: we did yesterday, the entire Fox crew is there, the

1497
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: entire ESPN is crew is there, and then of course

1498
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: we're always around our CBS crew. There's a lot of

1499
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: admiration in our industry for what we've been able to

1500
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: build here, but I say we because it's you who

01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: and try and make it sound authentic. If I say

1504
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: at every show it sounds like it's canned, it's not,

1505
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: I really mean. I appreciate him for direct Colin, for
