1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh yes, off the heels of Jesse's birthday are balloon.

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Budget is wiped out, and it's too bad because I

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: really wanted a celebratory show. Tonight. Where were you two

4
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: years ago? We celebrate the two year anniversary of the Alliance.

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: That's the day you remember. We got quotes such as,

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: it's about trust, We've looked each other in the eye.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: We've made an agreement that from the ACC commissioner quote,

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: there is no sign contract, there's an agreement among three gentlemen.

9
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: I wouldn't negotiate the sale of a used toaster on

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: that flimsy of a statement, but that is what the

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: ACC and the Big ten and the PAC twelve. Sorry,

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcasts, moment of silence there obligatory

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: when we talk about the alliance that was formed two

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: years ago and since then just a mushroom cloud over

15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: the entire sport. We are jam packed. We are high

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: at top, surprisingly cool downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The high may

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: have hit triple digits today, but we're cool in here.

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: More on that in a second. We've got teams scoop tonight.

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I've got just basically same old samol from the NCAA.

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: But we have to call these average people out because

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: if you call average people out, sometimes they get spooked,

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and average people, when spooked sometimes change their modus operandi.

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Fingers crossed on that front. I got a Bama prediction

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: for you tonight. I got a Miami prediction for you tonight.

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I've gotten more in depth takeaways because now I watched

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: episodes two and three of Swamp Kings. Me and Bradley

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: just watched it like fifteen minutes ago, and so we

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: have got a jam packed show. I cannot believe we're

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna be in Utah. I'm gonna be in Salt Lake City,

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Utah a week from now. Uh, we'll be close to kickoff.

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I think we'll be about to kick off Florida and

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 1: Utah out there. So a late kick lie from Utah

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: next week. By the way, it's gonna be earlier in

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the day, so stay tuned. A lot of stuff going on.

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: They're watching us in green Wood, South Carolina, Bartlettsville, Oklahoma,

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. Look at this forehead, it could be

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: pouring sweat. So I get an email today and it's

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: from Building Management Core Services. They say, hey, we're just

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna shut the AC off at six o'clock tonight. We're

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: like huh, and so like this is normally where management

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: would step in and help you guys in your normal

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: day to day. But you know the dynamic we have

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: around here, no love lost, and so I just run

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: a string across to another building, just assuming we're gonna

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: get hung out to dry. And let me tell you something.

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I got to give him credit. Management stepped up tonight

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: and he put he put his shield over us, and

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: by that I mean he emailed them and said, don't

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: turn it off until night. I don't care how effortless

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: that sounds to you. This is a big move for management.

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: He stepped up for us. And so you guys who

52
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: see me screenshot some of the back and forths I

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: have with him, know that I don't have his name

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: in my phone. I have management, and I have a

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: silver spoon emoji next to him. Now, the meter that

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I like to use to convey my relationship with him

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: is everything he does something, management esk because every time

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: he does something, I just add another spoon. Well, he

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: subtracted a spoon from his name today, and so he's

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: that much closer to being one of us. Still not

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: all that close, but closer today than he was yesterday.

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: So hats off to management. We appreciate it. Otherwise Bradley

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: was going to have to hold a fan up for me.

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: Just off camera. We are fourteen hundred subs away from

65
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand. We're there. We can see it. Finish

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: the drill. Finish the drill. Subscribe to the channel if

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: you have not already. I've got more things to talk

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: to you about during the show. But that's enough of that.

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: We need to get into it here. Uh, injuries are

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: not fun, but we got to lead with it. Okay, Colin. Here,

71
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: here's a better endpoint for you. Team insiders all over

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: the country are crossing fingers when they get practice reports

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: sent out and you're just hoping, oh man, there's no

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: injury news. Well we can't say that about Washington because

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Cam Davis they're starting running back out for the season

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: with a lower leg injury. And that's a thirteen touchdown

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: guy last year. He was the clear RB one for

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: this team. And sometimes when you listen to odds makers

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: talk about how they figure out how good a team is,

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: this is where I differ with them. So Cam Davis

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: goes down big time player, but he's a running back,

82
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: and so an odds maker would say, uh, I adjusted

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Washington half a point for this, or three quarters of

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: a point in my power ratings. I don't believe in that.

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: I know what they mean, I understand the science behind it.

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: But game to game, this is the kind of guy

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: that not having could mean eleven points. You cannot assignate

88
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: eleven points of value for a running back, of course,

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 1: but game to game, and they're going to play twelve

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: of them out there, including what nine in conference. This

91
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: is a big loss for them because behind him, Washington

92
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: just has transfers. Now, remember the other day when I

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: told you I got Washington a little bit lower than

94
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: the AP does. I said it's because I don't think

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: they have the elite kind of talent and depth that

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: maybe you would expect from a top ten team. Well,

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: I got some pushback on that because people mistakenly heard

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: me say they don't have talent. I didn't say that

99
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: at all. But at a place like Georgia where they

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: got running back issues. Right now, they got another one,

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: and then another one. Bama did, oh another one, another

102
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: one Ohio State. They don't have that at Washington. That's

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: the difference. That's the talent I'm talking about. So they

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: got three transfers there, none of whom you've probably heard

105
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot about. And the season hasn't started. It's

106
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: still going to be a very good team, but this

107
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: is something to keep an eye on. Speaking of Georgia,

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: they got running back issues there too. They're not the

109
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: same kind of issues because there are several guys there

110
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that can get the job done for them. But when

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: you pull up your phone the other day and you

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: see Georgia running back out for the season with an injury,

113
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: it's a big deal because it's Branson Robinson. And that

114
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: was one of about three names I had kept hearing

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: from their fall camp as a guy who's really really shining.

116
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: They thought he had feature back potential, like they thought

117
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: they could feature him instead of just strictly having to

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: do running back by committee. I've told you about this

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: for two weeks now. It's not a glaring, like five

120
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: alarm alert over Georgia, but it's a legitimate concern. Well

121
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: that was before they lost him. Now they lost Branson

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Robinson and it's a real concern. You've still got the

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: entirety of the season. This is just fall camp. So

124
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: Dejon Edwards has been if he health wise, Kendall Milton's

125
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: been if he health wise his entire career. So there

126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: are names in the room. There are not three or

127
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: four names. There's not the kind of depth, in other words,

128
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that you'd ideally want to have if you're Kirby Smart.

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: And remember Kenny McIntosh was there last year he went

130
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: off to the NFL. This is where it becomes so

131
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: important for Carson Beck to be what they think he

132
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: is like. They don't think Carson Beck is some as

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: you would call them game manager. Carson Beck's not not

134
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: a an underneath facilitator, hand the ball off, let's win it.

135
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Being ultra conservative, they think Carson Beck can win games

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: with his arm. They're gonna have to be right about that.

137
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't know when it's gonna be. It could be

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: against Kentucky for all I know. It could be against Missouri,

139
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: it could be against Ole miss It doesn't always have

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: to be on the road at Tennessee when you get pushed,

141
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: and so I think Carson Beck is gonna be that.

142
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I think he's gonna be a strength

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: of their offense. I think Carson Beck will be a

144
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: strength of their offense. The thing is, the more you

145
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: start to hear about that running back position, the more

146
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: I better be right about that. It's what I'm saying.

147
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Next up, this is a very peculiar situation at Iowa.

148
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: I needed to touch on it. So Noah Shannon, first

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: things first, is out for the season, not because of injury,

150
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: but because of gambling. The gambling probe that just swept

151
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: the Hawkeye stayed up there. He's caught up in it.

152
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: So he's out for the season. That's a senior or

153
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: he had forty four tackles last year, was gonna be

154
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: a starter. He played in every game a season ago.

155
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: So they're still gonna have a really good defense line.

156
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: They feel like they got one of the best defensive

157
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: lines they've had in a long time up there. And

158
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: that's saying something because that's Iowa. But this little post

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: it on my index finger here, which I'm going to

160
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: go ahead and ceremonially pop, is about Caid McNamara. So

161
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: in just a second, director Colin's going to play some sound.

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: But before he plays it, what are we talking about?

163
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: Why are we talking about a Michigan quarterback. Well, if

164
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: you've been I don't know, celebrating what some would call

165
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the off season, you may not know that Cade McNamara

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: doesn't play from Michigan anymore. He transferred to Iowa. Hey,

167
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: good for him, right, he's going to start or is he? So?

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,479
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago he had a non contact

169
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: leg injury, and because I was not one of the

170
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: absolute highest profile programs in America, you have not gotten

171
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Day Today updates on that. Well, that's where Shannon Earhart

172
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: of KCCI News and Des Moines steps in because she

173
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: asked Caid McNamara, I think, almost in passing, sort of

174
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: just expecting him to say I'm good to go. She

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: asked him, Hey, how you feeling. Let's hear what he

176
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: had to say, and then you talk about rehabbing. How

177
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: are you coming along? You know I'm progressing, And that's

178
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: all I want to say about that. Not too good

179
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: translation guide there, not too good again. That was caseci

180
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: in Des Moines, Iowa. So Jesse tells me that behind

181
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: mister McNamara, we have a kid named Deacon, and so

182
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: the Deacon's gonna have to probably handle it up there

183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: because if I had to put my uneducated guests on it.

184
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like a guy that's going to be

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: ready to go for Utah State. And then they go

186
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: to Iowa State week two. They got at Penn State

187
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: in week four. Keep a close eye on that. Like

188
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: IWA is a very very much a contending team in

189
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the Big ten West. Oregon State has named dj uy

190
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Anglile's starting quarterback. This is not a shock. Again, if

191
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: you're the kind of person who just takes vacation in

192
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the summer, you may not even know he transferred up there. Yeah,

193
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: a former five star, former Clemson Tiger dju he is

194
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the starter for Oregon State. I'd put that at like

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: a three on the surprise scale. Everyone expected it. At

196
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: Arizona State talk to you about this a week ago.

197
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Jaden Roshata has been named the starting quarterback there. So

198
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: it has happened. You had the whole nil drama with Florida.

199
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: He's in, he's out, he's in, he's out, immunity. Well,

200
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: now he is off to Tempe Arizona and he is

201
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Kenney Dillingham led Arizona State

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: sun Devils. This is it's a bigger surprise if you

203
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: zoom out now. Over the last week, we had started

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: to pick up on the fact that this may happen,

205
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: but you just talk in totality terms, this is like

206
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: a seven, I would think on the surprise scale, because

207
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: in spring, folks around that program thought there was no

208
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: shot this was going to happen. Gonna be some bumps

209
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: on the road. But I'm kind of happy and kind

210
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: of excited to see it happen. Also, Grant Wells at

211
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech hadn't talked about him a lot. He is

212
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: going to be the starter there. He was there last

213
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: year and not a big surprise. I know they had

214
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: brought a kid into try and compete with him, but

215
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I was just interested overall. Like producer Jesse and I

216
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: when we were putting the show together today, we were thinking, Okay,

217
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: all the quarterback battles that happened, like what's still left

218
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: on the table, And what's wild is while you've got

219
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: your Oregon States in your Virginia Tech senior, Arizona State's

220
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: wrapping things up, we don't know. At Alabama, we think

221
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: it's Jaylen Milroe, but we don't know. Nick Saban himself

222
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: said yesterday just because I started him. If I do,

223
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything. Thank you, coach. Ohio State, we

224
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Ucla Man, I still don't know. And Ole Miss,

225
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: we still don't know. So there's a lot still to

226
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: be determined here. And I think what Nick Saban said

227
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: about week one at Alabama kind of goes for a

228
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of those programs. I always think back speaking of Obama,

229
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: I always think back to the whole, the whole Jalen

230
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Hurts Blake Barnett thing, where the whole summer and whole spring,

231
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: everyone thought, oh, it's Blake Barnett's team. It's Blake Barnett's team,

232
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: And they were technically right because Blake Barnett started. And

233
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you grew up in

234
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: the country, So some of you who have never seen

235
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: what a deer looks like when it is in your headlights,

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: But don't worry. All you have to do is go

237
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: watch the replay of Bama USC to open that season

238
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: and just check out Blake Barnet. That's what a deer

239
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: in headlights looks like. So then Jalen Hurts comes in,

240
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: fumbles the first snap he takes and still takes over

241
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: the team and still leads Alabama to victory and the

242
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: restless history. So it didn't matter what the practice reports

243
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: had set all spring and all summer. Some guys just

244
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: have it when the lights come on. That could happen

245
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: at Alabama, That could happen at Ohio State. That could

246
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: happen when Dante morg gets in the game for UCLA.

247
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: Keep a close eye on these early week games, just

248
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: because they may be playing scrub teams. In your mind,

249
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye on those games. I've got some really

250
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: really good news to share with you. Actually, we've been

251
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: given away Chali of Supremacy by the truckloads. I had

252
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: to order fifty more of them today, so we will

253
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: not run short on Challai anytime soon. But we're giving

254
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: them away to people who promote the show. You can't

255
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: buy them, you can only win them. And tonight I

256
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: got to bring you a message from Grant. Grant hit

257
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,359
Speaker 1: me up and said I cannot technically verify this information

258
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: due to hippo reasons. That always catches my eyes when

259
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: you say that you can't really tell me, you can't

260
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: really full disclosure. It because of hippo violations, not hippo violations.

261
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: So we're clearly talking in the feminine form here, but

262
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: he said, I do hospital work location redacted, and I'm

263
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: fairly good at getting ivs on difficult patients. I've started

264
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: making the nurse requesting my help subscribe to your channel

265
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: as payment for me placing an IV in their patient.

266
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: This progressed further recently to the other nurses joking with

267
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: the patients that he had subscribed to the YouTube channel

268
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: as well well. The family members in the room and

269
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: the patients all subscribed. Now that is the process. So

270
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: our guys really good at finding that vein. You just

271
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: got to subscribe Chalice of Supremacy on the way for

272
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: grant and then Chris hits me up. This is Chris

273
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: in his classroom at James Madison University. He said, I'm

274
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: a professor at JMU in Virginia and figured one way

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I could promote the show in a Chalice worthy manner

276
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: would be to advertise to my students on the first

277
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: day of class. I encourage all educators to do this. Okay,

278
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I know there are varying degrees of opinion out there

279
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: on secondary education in public education in general. You want

280
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: to wipe away the doubt. Do constructive things like forcing

281
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: your students to subscribe to the late Kick channel. Hello,

282
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: it's one, two three. It's very very simple, he continues, Though,

283
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: listen to this. You want some trivia out there. I

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: hope you find this chalice worthy. As a side note,

285
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: the first football coach, James Madison, was named Chalice McMillan,

286
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: who passed away a couple of years ago. If I'm

287
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: blessed enough to receive a Chalice, mine will be nicknamed

288
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: the Chalice McMillan of Supremacy. The Chalice McMillan of Supremacy

289
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: is on its way to James Madison. Thank you, Chris,

290
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: thank you Grant, and thank you everyone who continues to

291
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: do the Lord's work out there trying to get us

292
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: to two hundred thousand subs. We move on from talking

293
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: about some of our closest friends to talking about some

294
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: of our closest enemies. I'm gonna take a sip out

295
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: of my own chalice. Here, the NC DOUBLEA. What do

296
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: you think about them? That is for you to ponder

297
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: while I take a sip. If we can do the

298
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: polling right now, I don't even think close friends and

299
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: relatives of NC DOUBLEA employees have a net positive impression

300
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: of the organization right now. Okay, so paper pop time.

301
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: It is my opinion that the NCAA pretty much is

302
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: to college athletes as the unibomber was to the postal service.

303
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: I work shopped that on Jesse earlier today and he

304
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: said that's a little edgy. I said, it's true, Jesse,

305
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: spot the flaw, it's spot the error. It's true. So

306
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Mason Smith is suspended at LSU. Mason Smith's a former

307
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: five star guy. He hurt himself in their first game

308
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: last year, as you may recall, against Florida's State. So

309
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: it just came out earlier this week that Mason Smith

310
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: will miss the Florida State game this year because he's

311
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: suspended by the nc DOUBLEA. Let me walk you through

312
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: this timeline. You thought Devontes Walker was bad, which it was,

313
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: let me walk you through this timeline. This organization is

314
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: out for the best interest of college athletes, as they

315
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: would call him student athletes. Bear that in mind. Mason

316
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Smith and several other folks commit the ultimate crime of

317
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: signing their name on things and profiting off of it.

318
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: Five minutes later, it was all legalized in twenty twenty one,

319
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: you might know it is nil now, but Mason Smith

320
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and some folks made some money off autographs before that. Again,

321
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: the crime here is writing your own name on something

322
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: and benefiting from it. So the NCAA pops them, and

323
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: the NCUBA tells the folks who have been caught up

324
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: in it, you can choose the game you're suspended for

325
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two season. I know it sounds

326
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: made up, but it's not. Sunny Ship has a whole

327
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: thread about this over on Go twenty four to seven

328
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: right now if you want to read up on it.

329
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: So almost all of the guys who are caught up

330
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: in it choose, you know, whatever FCS team they're going

331
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: to play, they serve their suspension. The coaches largely mislead

332
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: the media about why they're not playing little banged up precautionary.

333
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: In reality, they're suspended. No one knows it, so that's

334
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: all well and good. Well, Mason Smith got hurt in

335
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: the first game last year, and he's sure on't going

336
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: to sit out the FSU game. So the NCAA comes

337
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: along and says, hey, Bud, you you don't get to

338
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: count those injured games. You still got to sit out

339
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: a game as punishment, and oh, by the way, we're

340
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: not going to afford you the opportunity to go by

341
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: the same law that everyone else went by. You've got

342
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: to sit out the first game. Who do you guys

343
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: play in Week one? Oh, Florida State. They're supposed to

344
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: be good, right, not our problem, deal with it. And

345
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: then they checked out. The NCAA strikes me as people

346
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: who don't work on Fridays. They probably left the office

347
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: for the last time today and they'll be back on Monday.

348
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: So last week, a couple weeks ago, I guess at

349
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: this point I was telling you about devontees Walker. Devontees

350
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: Walker had been enrolled at a bunch of different places,

351
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: but due to injury or COVID, had never played a

352
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: football game. So he ends up at Kent State, breaks out,

353
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: wants to transfer, and does transfer to North Carolina. And

354
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: then the nc DOUBLEA says, Nope, your transfer waiver is

355
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: not granted. You are not eligible, and that's currently on

356
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: appeal with no end in sight. Probably I would expect

357
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: it about one or two hours before kickoff of South

358
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Carolina North Carolina, because that's how these people operate. It's pathetic.

359
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: So anyway, just again to keep you up to speed

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: on what's happening. The nc DOUBLEA has no problem retrofitting

361
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: new rules onto old examples like dem T Walker, who

362
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: transfers before the NCAA tightens up the transfer rules. But

363
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: then they look at him and say, hey, even though

364
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you left before, we kind of change the rules and

365
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: you should be eligible regardless. We're going to apply the

366
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: new standard to you anyway. They have no problem doing that. However,

367
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: NIL gets legalized about ten minutes after Mason Smith signs

368
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: his name on something for cash. Mm hmm, sorry, we

369
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: do not turn that retroactive lens the other way. Mason.

370
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: You're out, and you're out when we say you're out,

371
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: even though the rest of the folks that got popped

372
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: are out whenever they chose to be out. Never mind

373
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: the fact that none of you should be out. How

374
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: does this stand legally? I saw a lot of you

375
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: ask that today, and sometimes I don't want to go

376
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: the way that everyone else is going. But I am

377
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: a cattle running alongside all of you right now. We

378
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: are a herd, and we are together asking how does

379
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: this stand? Legally? And I've always thought that about a

380
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of these NCUBA decisions, and it turns out I

381
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: was right, Because when do you ever hear of a

382
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: solid legal defense being against the NCAA and it not

383
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: succeeding in overwhelming fashion? I would imagine you know, I

384
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: have it on good authority. There's some strong legal minds

385
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: down there in the Pelican State. I've seen John Grisham movies,

386
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: so I know the kind of folks who live down there.

387
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: Someone someone's got to have some free time between now

388
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: and the time they kick it off against FSU down

389
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: in Orlando. Here's how bad it is. It's so bad

390
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: with Devontes Walker. Shane Biemer is South Carolina's coach. They

391
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: play North Carolina in Week one. Is Shane biemers like

392
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: m that's I don't I don't like that. That's a shame.

393
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: I saw a bunch of Florida State fans today saying,

394
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: come on, man, are you serious right now? And they

395
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: benefit from them being out. That's when you know you've

396
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: crossed a line in the sand over which there is

397
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: no coming back. Imagine telling kids twenty years from now,

398
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: sit down, kiddo. You see that autograph on your wall

399
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: that the running back from USC made five hundred dollars

400
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: for Well, what if I told you once upon a time,

401
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: not once upon a Saturday. Once upon a time, there

402
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: was this dark, dark entity in Indianapolis, Indiana, cast a

403
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: bad light over an otherwise great city up there, and

404
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: they claimed to be out for the kids, and all

405
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: they did was ruin it for the kids. It truly

406
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: seems like the standard by which Gen CLEA enforcement folks

407
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: operate under is which decision can we make here that

408
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: screws a college athlete the most thoroughly. Whichever decision that is,

409
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: that's the one we're gonna make. It's happening all over

410
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: the place. Still today, it's happening, and it just happened

411
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: to Mason Smith. And I have seen a grand total

412
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: of one people slash persons I know, defend this, and

413
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I really don't think they were defending it college football nerds.

414
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Probably just they just wanted to play Devil's advocate, because

415
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: there were strong teacher's pet vibes to what they posted

416
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter a little while ago. I don't know which

417
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: one of you it was, but I have a pretty

418
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: good feeling I'll find out on my eye Josh after

419
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: the show's over tonight. Speaking of Indianapolis. I don't want

420
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: to throw a great city under the bus. Okay, So

421
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: let's get back on track here. If you live up

422
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: there in Indianapolis, and many many folks in our audience,

423
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: do you got an Academy Sports and Outdoors opening this week?

424
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Actually it is August twenty fourth. August twenty fifth, tomorrow,

00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: we are opening this thing nineteen sixty East Greyhound Pass, Carmel, Indiana,

Speaker 1: this Academy Sports and Outdoors grand opening. This is not

432
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,080

00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: in person, let's roll on. You know what I haven't done.

443
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: I have not even so much as acknowledged the live chat,

444
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: and I apologize for that. Appreciate you guys being tuned in.

445
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Make sure you like the video and subscribe to the channel.

446
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: One of the most highly anticipated segments of the late

447
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: summer is upon us. Now it's time to predict Alabama's

448
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: record this year, a matter everyone has developed an opinion on.

449
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: You know, they play four of the top fourteen teams

450
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: in the JP Pole this year. You know they play

451
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: eight of the top thirty teams in the preseason JP

452
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: Pole this year. I say that because someone will be

453
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: in these comments telling me they play a cupcake schedule.

454
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: Facts be damned cupcase schedule. Same rule for Notre Dame.

455
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if Notre Dame plays the Chiefs and the

456
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: Vikings in Week three and four, they play a cupcake schedule.

457
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: That's the end all be all. A lot of hyperbole

458
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: in the room around Alabama right now. Sounds a little

459
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: something like this. If they don't win eleven games this year,

460
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: Like if Alabama were to go nine to three this year,

461
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: then fill in the blank, and in that blank is

462
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: just it's all kinds of stuff that's probably not true.

463
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: The reality regardless of what happens this year, the reality

464
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: is they're loaded again. Next year. They got a five

465
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: star quarterback and Julian sayin coming in. The reality is

466
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: as long as Nick same is going to be there,

467
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: they'll be in it every year. That's the reality. Now

468
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: this year, what we want to know is what's the

469
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: best case, what's the worst case, and what's the most likely.

470
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: Let's dive in the best case for Alabama's always going

471
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: to be twelve to zero, because the best case scenario

472
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: with one of, if not the most talented rosters in

473
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: the country and a team that'll be favored in every game,

474
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: is always going to be twelve in that scenario. Quarterback

475
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: has been above average for them, and above average means

476
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: like if it's Jalen Milroe, he's making good decisions, he's

477
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: putting up seventy five rushing yards per game, he's not

478
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: turning the ball over. Milroe's got a cannon like who

479
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: people who think the passing game just evaporates. If Jalen Milrose,

480
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: their quarterback needs to think about things not through the

481
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: lens of what they've had with Bryce or what they've

482
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: had with Tua or mac Jones. You need to think

483
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: about the things through the lens of having a running

484
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: thread at quarterback, having an extremely versatile run blocking offensive line,

485
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: having three or four backs that you have to be

486
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: concerned with, and having speed in their wide receiver room.

487
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe a wide receiver one has emerged on

488
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: this team, but they got a lot of speed in

489
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: their receiving room. That is a recipe for explosive plays

490
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: in the passing game because of what you have to

491
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 1: account for on the ground. So it doesn't evaporate anyway.

492
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: If that's all happened, If they are what I think

493
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: they'll be on the offensive line, if that secondary is

494
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: what I think they'll be, that edge rusher room, that

495
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: linebacker room, if they are pretty much just what we

496
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: think they'll be, they can go twelve and oh they

497
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: can go undefeed him. But that's not the fun part

498
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: of this segment. The fun part of this segment for

499
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: most of you is, Hmm, what's the worst that could

500
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: happen for Alabama this year, eight and four I think

501
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: is the worst case for them, so very low. Number

502
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: eight and four is the lowest I've gone in the

503
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: worst case for Alabama in several years. It's only because

504
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: of the risk you run in not having good quarterback play.

505
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: They've had. They haven't even had to settle for good

506
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: quarterback play. They've had at the very worst, well above

507
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: average two in many cases, great quarterback play. But if

508
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: they just have average to below average there regardless of

509
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: who it is, or if they never end up settling

510
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: on a guy and that wide receiver room is just

511
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: a mess in your leading receivers like six hundred and

512
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: eighty yards or something like that, and they end up

513
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: having to play from behind a lot, which in this

514
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: scenario puts them in very unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory. And

515
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: if their defensive lines not good enough, you forget the secondary.

516
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: I think the secondary will be good in any event,

517
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: but if their defensive line is not good enough, so

518
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: you can shorten games on them, limit possessions, and when

519
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: they do have the ball, they just can't move it

520
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: effectively enough. There's an eight and four when you look

521
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: at their schedule. Like I said, they play eight of

522
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: my top thirty teams in the country. So if you've

523
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: got those questions and they don't pan out and you

524
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: play that kind of schedule, you can lose four games,

525
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: and if you're anyone other than Alabama, you can lose

526
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: five or six of them. So only four is still

527
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: indicative of how much respect I have for that team.

528
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: The most likely record for Alabama this year, I think

529
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: is eleven and one, because I'm extremely high on the team.

530
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: The secret lies with that offensive line. That's why I've

531
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: been pounding on that drum in the entirety of the

532
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: summer and really coming out of spring. There are people

533
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: around the program who think Eric their offensive line coach,

534
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: is the best assistant on that team, that includes the coordinators.

535
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: So he's got all the talent in the world to

536
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: work with. And I think that Caden Proctor coming in

537
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: and securing that left tackle position, which he has, was

538
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: a key to a lot of the other dominoes shaken

539
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: out the way they wanted it to. I think they

540
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: go probably eight deep with guys they feel they can

541
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: win with, so they have got a surplus of high

542
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: level NFL talent on their offensive line just hadn't said

543
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: it lately. They haven't played at that standard lately. I

544
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: think the ground game will be as effective as you've

545
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: seen it in a long time. But what I am

546
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: the most excited about with Alabama is their secondary and

547
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: the depth and versatility in their secondary. I just I

548
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: don't picture the kind of game this year that Tennessee

549
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: was able to have against them last year. Don't picture that.

550
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I think they'll be very good. I think Kevin Steele,

551
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't a world renowned higher as DC,

552
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: is going to be good at the very least from

553
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint for the way that team plays. You

554
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: don't have to be a rocket scientist or a five

555
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: time national champion win a football coach to have watched

556
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Alabama over the past ten years and thought to yourself, defensively,

557
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: they don't look the same anymore the past couple of years.

558
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you Kevin Steele is the key to

559
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: overturning that, but the folks around the program who've been

560
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: there a while, they loved to hire a lot more

561
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: than just your innocent bystander. I think that's probably why

562
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they did. But one more thing, if they go eleven

563
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: and one, or if they were to go twelve to zero.

564
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: They're special teams this year, especially with kool Aid being

565
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: one of the best returners in the country, their secondary

566
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: this year, and their edge guys being able to force turnovers.

567
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: It probably means they've played a more complimentary style than

568
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: you've seen them in five or six years play. There

569
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: were some teams in the mid twenty teams that scored

570
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: a ton of non offensive touchdowns for him. That's the

571
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of team they have to be this year. I

572
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: think they can be that. So I got sky high

573
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: expectations for Alabama. I'm putting them at eleven and one,

574
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: and that's obviously right there in the playoff picture. That's

575
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: probably playing for the SEC championship. So I haven't sold

576
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: my stock yet, but I know a lot of you have.

577
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: I know the comments will be lively there. The good

578
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: news is we will play the season out and someone

579
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: will be right. Someone will have excuses. Let's move on

580
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: Bold Prediction time, Bold Predictions, Chapter thirty four, and we're

581
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: going straight to Los Angeles, California, and we're throwing it

582
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: right out there. Zeke from Lakewood, California says USC is

583
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: going to win the national Championship, not the Pac twelve,

584
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: not make the playoff, not make the title game. They're

585
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: winning the National championship. Ninety fourth last year. Defensive points

586
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: per game one hundred and sixth, defensive yards per game

587
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty first, defensive explosive plays per game allowed.

588
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: Woful got to be so so much better than that.

589
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: So you bring in an Alexander, and you bring in

590
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: a and you bring in a Sullivan, and you bring

591
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: in a Lucas. They brought in a ton, a ton

592
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: of talent and depth up front. They got kids from

593
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: the true freshman class ready to start defensively, better all

594
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: work out. We're talking about winning a national championship here,

595
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: not contending for one. It better all work out. This

596
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: is a nine point twenty five on the boldness scale

597
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: for me, and that's with Caleb Williams only because I

598
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: think there is a freeze point, and we normally don't

599
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: talk about the freeze point U till the season starts.

600
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I'll explain it later, but there's a freeze point that

601
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: you have to hit just a fancy or an unfancy

602
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: late kick term for a minimum baseline that you have

603
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: to be playing in certain areas. They certainly have never

604
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: met it. Lincoln Riley's teams have never met it. Defensively,

605
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they can't. I'm the first one to tell

606
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: you that I think you'll win a title one day,

607
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: but if it's this year, there has to be pretty

608
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: significant improvement there. I'm gonna make it a nine and

609
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: a quarter because I'll have to see it. They're gonna

610
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: be a good team, but there's a big gap between

611
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: being really good and being a national champion. Next up,

612
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: this is from Allen in Georgetown, Texas. He says Texas

613
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: A and M wins the SEC West. This is a nine. Normally,

614
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: the question when you predict something like this is do

615
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: they have the roster? Well, that doesn't happen to be

616
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: the question with Texas A and M. They've got the players.

617
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: It's one of the only cases where a team absolutely

618
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: has the players to win a division that LSU and

619
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: Alabama are in. But you've got questions because of coaching

620
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: staff and because of philosophy, and those will be questions

621
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: until they aren't. Just the quotes. The quotes flow on

622
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: this show. It'll be a question until it's not. S

623
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,239
Speaker 1: and P plus Bill Connolly's system has them playing the

624
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: fourth toughest schedule in the country. So not only do

625
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: they play in the West, but they go to Tennessee.

626
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: They got South Carolina from the east. They don't have Georgia,

627
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: but they got pretty much everyone else. Uh, the synergy.

628
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: When I was talking to Lucci and I was talking

629
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: to Nuno and the guys from Tech SAgs at SEC

630
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Media Days, I was on their show and they were saying,

631
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: what's the one thing aside from Bobby Petrino that you

632
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: want to see, And I said, synergy. Like when I

633
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: watch A and M. I'd love for things to flow.

634
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: I'd love for every first down not to feel like

635
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: it's pulling teeth to try and get it. I would

636
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: love to feel like like everything is moving in the

637
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: same direction and there's harmony and there's synergy, and there's

638
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of that. If you watched them last year,

639
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: they get that. They could be a tough out. We'll

640
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: see they do get Bama at home. It's a tough schedule.

641
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a nine on it next up. I

642
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever heard this term, but Boston

643
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: from Concord, North Carolina said, we will have a Power

644
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: five team go defeated this season, which means to twelve.

645
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: This is negative Boston, but we're gonna roll with it.

646
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this a nine point seven five. This

647
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: is tough to have happened. The last time it happened

648
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen Kansas. It's happened three times this millennium.

649
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight Washington, two thousand and six Duke,

650
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: and twenty fifteen Kansas. We didn't count the COVID year,

651
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: so in full seasons it's happened three times this millennium.

652
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Stanford and Northwestern have over underwin totals of two and

653
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: a half. Stanford does play Sacramento State this year. Northwestern

654
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: plays UTEP in Buffalo. Now I went to the model

655
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: and I said, model, what would we make those games?

656
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Right now? If we had to put a line on

657
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: Northwestern UTAP, we would have Northwestern winning that thing by

658
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: about a touchdown. We would have Northwestern over Buffalo by

659
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: about six and a half. So they're going to be favored,

660
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: not by much. To be honest with you, there is

661
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: no model in this building that can properly put a

662
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: line on Stanford versus Sacramento State. Now challenge any out

663
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: there who claims they do have one. So I'm gonna

664
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: put a nine and a half on this. Look winning

665
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: a game, just a game, that's all we need. And

666
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: how far Stanford has fallen. Now, for the record, there

667
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: are some pretty informed voices that are telling me hammer

668
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: the over. Stanford is not anywhere near that bad this year.

669
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: It's just people don't know it. And I'm like, okay,

670
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: what about Northwestern? And they say hammer the over with

671
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Stanford and then they walk away from you. No one

672
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: knows what to expect from Northwestern. Lastly, this is very,

673
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: very very bold. This is from Ian in Kingsport, Tennessee.

674
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: He said the playoff will not feature a big conference member,

675
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: so there won't be a Big ten team and there

676
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 1: won't be a Big twelve team in the playoff. Ian,

677
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: this is really difficult for me to see. And I'm

678
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why. One of the reasons is on

679
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: your screen right now, and that's Ohio State, and if

680
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: not them, the next reason is also on your screen,

681
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: and that's Michigan. And if not them, there's Penn State,

682
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: and if not them, there's Texas, and if not them,

683
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: they're O. You're telling me that you're keeping those are

684
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: We got three of the top eight odds teams to

685
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: win the national title in that group, by the way,

686
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: so we're keeping all of them out. What has had

687
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: to happen for that to go down? No Big ten team,

688
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: no Big twelve team. What have we got three from

689
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: the SEC? Maybe this could be Jesse. This could be

690
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: where my my Clemson FSU doomsday scenario happens. Where FSU

691
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: loses to LSU, they lose to Clemson, they go the

692
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: rest of the way undefeed him, and they make it

693
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: to Charlotte and they beat Clemson in the ACC title

694
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: game and voila. FSU is in as a two lost

695
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: conference champ. Clemson gets in because there's chaos everywhere else,

696
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: and we got two ACC teams in the playoff. No,

697
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking around, I see a bunch of shaking heads.

698
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm imagining them because I'm alone in a studio right now.

699
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this a nine point seventy five. Like

700
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: you're not keeping both of those conferences out, you may

701
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: not keep either one of them out. And that's a

702
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: teaser for our season preview show Sunday Night, where Yes, Friends,

703
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: I will be delivering my season predictions. I will be

704
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: giving you playoff not because I crave it, but because

705
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: you do. I'll be giving you conference title matchups. I'll

706
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: be giving you winners. I'll tell you Xavier Worthy's going

707
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: to win the Heisman. I'll do all that Sunday night.

708
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: You know what we're doing next Tuesday, though, aside from

709
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: a show. Next Tuesday is when an auction ends. Now,

710
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: we did one of these a month ago, but we

711
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: didn't get to properly promote it, so we're doing another one.

712
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I think it's ludicrous for anyone to pay money to

713
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: talk to me. However, I love Saint Jude, and so

714
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Saint Jude partners with us occasionally and we auction off

715
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 1: a private call with me. Now, I take it upon

716
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: myself to deliver over and above whatever the baseline is

717
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: we're offering. So we've done a couple of these, We've

718
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: raised thousands of dollars, and this one is live right now.

719
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: I'll tweet out a link after the show, but you've

720
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: see it on the screen there. The last couple of

721
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: conversations I've had from the winners of this Saint Jude

722
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: auction have been very fun, cause I'll give you pretty

723
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: much anything on these calls. You want behind the scenes stories.

724
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: You want to know what coaches are really like. Now

725
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: the rule is you can't record it, obviously, and I

726
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: make you prick your finger and put it up to

727
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: the phone as a blood oath that you won't repeat

728
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: what we talk about. But pretty much anything and everything

729
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: you want the real scoop on management. You want to

730
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: know what Jesse looks like. These are the kinds of

731
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: things that you can purchase the right to know if

732
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: you win this auction. So we got a couple of

733
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: shows before it ends next Tuesday at six pm. I

734
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: want to say six pm Eastern is when that ends,

735
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on it a bit early bit.

736
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: Often it is for a very good cause, and that

737
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: cause is not the Josh Foundation that causes Saint Jude.

738
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: They're watching us in New York, New York tonight, Hillsboro, Missouri.

739
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: San Clemente, California. Thank you so much. But we need

740
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: to go all the way down to South Florida. Why

741
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: because it's time to predict Miami's season. We won't that

742
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: be fun and controversy free. I've done that a lot

743
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: on the show tonight, I don't know why. Don't worry

744
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: about it. If you're listening to on podcasts, it's not relevant.

745
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: What is the college football public's temperature on Miami? Because

746
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of emotion sneak into the room.

747
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: So rarely can I go out on the streets, or

748
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: rarely can I send Bradley, the associate, out on the

749
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: streets for me to poll people. And he asks him, hey,

750
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: what do you think about Miami fam And the guy says, well,

751
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: I hate him? Or Mario was going to win the

752
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: national title. There's no in between. There's just a bunch

753
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: of emotion. And here's what I'm looking for. I'm looking

754
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: for logic. I'm looking for sound, well thought out reasoning.

755
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 1: I'm looking for them going five and seven last year

756
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: and this year they go what and why? Well, the

757
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: best case for Miami this year, I think is ten

758
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: and two. I think there's a path to a double

759
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: digit win season. This would just mean the dynamic really

760
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: was that bad last year, and it would mean both

761
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: those coordinator HighRes this year were slam dunks, and it

762
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: would mean that portal class hit the spot and that

763
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: true freshman class, you know, Francis Malagoa and company. They

764
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: really hit the spot offensive line and defensive line. Hype

765
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: was legit. As it turns out, run defense ended up

766
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: coming of age. It wasn't a glaring weakness, and Tyler

767
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: van Dyke was back under Shannon Dawson's offense. That's what

768
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: it would mean if they go ten and two. So

769
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: that's the best case. It's the acc Now they got

770
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: a pretty difficult schedule, but we're talking best case here. Yeah,

771
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: there's a ten win season in there somewhere, but man,

772
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: there's a six and six in there too, because I

773
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: think that's the worst case for Miami. And I go

774
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: right back to the schedule. If they're wobbly, if they're weak,

775
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: if there's a glaring weakness like run defense, for example,

776
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: you get no breaks here. You play A and M

777
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: they can smash you. If that's a weakness, Clemson can

778
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: smash you. Look, you play in C State, you play

779
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: Florida State, Louisville. A lot of these teams can take

780
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: advantage of that. If it's that big weakness, those first

781
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: year coordinators, maybe you don't have the synergy that you want.

782
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: And you know, look, maybe it's as simple as run

783
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: defense or maybe Tyler Vandyke has another down year and

784
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: you're left wondering, Wow, what happened? Why was his first

785
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: year as a starter his best year? Stuff happens in

786
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: college football all the time. I don't necessarily think that's

787
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: the way we're going this year, but I have to

788
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: acknowledge that's the worst case. Six and six. So the

789
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: most likely record for Miami I went back and forth

790
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: on this is eight and four. That's where I'm going

791
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: with them. So I do slightly like the over slightly,

792
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: but I'm tempering expectation to I think it'll be a

793
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: transitional season. If you grew up in Georgia, where I

794
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: grew up, you know how radical spring and fall can be.

795
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: It's that way in a lot of the country. Like

796
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: you could have a high eight and a high of

797
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: forty and that can happen in the same week. You

798
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: folks who live out in Denver, for example, you know

799
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: what those transition seasons are like. Well, you could have

800
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: an entire football season that's a transition season two and

801
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: that could mean that you end up beating Florida State,

802
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: but you know, losing by three touchdowns to Texas A

803
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: and M Both of those things can happen same year.

804
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: I think that'll be what it feels like. I think though,

805
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: that there'll be certainly enough promise and enough northward pointing

806
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: arrows that make you think twenty twenty four is going

807
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: to be the year. I think Miami will be a

808
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: very hyped team next year because of some of the

809
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: flashes that they show this year. So I'm going eight

810
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: and four for them. I will be hawking the comment

811
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 1: schedule or the commet section four, what you think about

812
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: that schedule and what you think they're going to do

813
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: this year. Speaking of which, speaking of schedules, we thought

814
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: it was time tonight because once we're at Sunday, it's

815
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: game week and we got a travel week next week.

816
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: So we thought it was time to break out a

817
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: question that many of you have asked. So let's go

818
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: to Savannah, always lovely this time of year and every

819
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: time of year. Let's go to Daniel in Savannah. He said,

820
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: out of potential conference contenders, who has schedules that stand

821
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: out on the easier side, Well, Georgia is the answer, Daniel.

822
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: I got five of them, but Georgia is the answer.

823
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: Stat's an Info or, as you may know him, producer

824
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: Jesse tells me that Georgia plays one of the top

825
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: fifteen odds teams in the country to start the year.

826
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about the playoff odds. They play one out

827
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: of the top fifteen. Everyone else in the SEC plays

828
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: at least three. Other than Vanderbilt, everyone else plays at

829
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: least three. Many of them, including Bama, play at least four.

830
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Georgia plays one. They miss all the top end teams.

831
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: They miss Bama, they miss LSU, they miss A and

832
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: M from the West. Since they are Georgia, they don't

833
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: play Georgia in the East, which which is common sense,

834
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: but a lot of people forget that they're out of

835
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: conference is bad. Not all their fault. The SEC made

836
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: them cancel the Oklahoma game. Where's the tough road spot

837
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: at Auburn and then at Tennessee towards the end of

838
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: the year. There's no stretch like, there's no stretch of

839
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: games where you say, oh boy, Florida, Missouri, Ole, miss Tennessee.

840
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: Is that the stretch that's about as manageable a tough

841
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 1: stretch as you get in the SEC. So I'm gonna

842
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: go with Georgia Michigan. Absolutely horrendous schedule by anyone's standards.

843
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: They I don't know if you guys saw this, Okay,

844
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna talk about it a lot. You know.

845
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh has decided to suspend himself the first three

846
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: games of the year. Well Michigan did so. Harbaugh is

847
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: suspended the first three games of the year. They announced

848
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: different head coaches for each game they play East Carolina

849
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: UNLV and Bowling Green. It's great, it's a good gesture.

850
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: There is no shot and you know what, they'd be

851
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: doing this if they had Texas in week two like

852
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: they do next year. Their schedule is so light they

853
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: can just afford to sort of, you know, spin the

854
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: wheel and see where it lands. You're a head coach today,

855
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: you're a head coach next week, Week three, who wants it?

856
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: Week three, you you can be a head coach. That's

857
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: how big a joke. The schedule is so no team

858
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: if you look at the schedule here, there is no

859
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: team with a preseason over under win total above seven

860
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: and a half that they play until at Penn State

861
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: in November. Only Big Ten team with no Power five

862
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: out of conference opponent. But that means there's no room

863
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: for error, So you know, the trade off for having

864
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: a workable schedule is you better win all your games

865
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: or you may need help. And that's fair. I think

866
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: that's fair. U seela out in the PAC twelve. And

867
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: remember when we're talking about light schedules, it's light relatively speaking.

868
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: So UCLA is one of the top six teams in

869
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. We've been talking about that for a while.

870
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: There's like a six pack of teams near the top,

871
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: and UCLA is one of them. The difference with them

872
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: and the others is all the other five teams in

873
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: that top six they play at least four of the

874
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: other five. Some of them play five of the other five.

875
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: UCLA plays three of the other five. UCLA is at

876
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: Utah early as well. Utah has got quarterback questions with

877
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: cam rising and also UCLA plays six of the bottom

878
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: six teams in the PAC twelve. There's no Washington there,

879
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: there's no Oregon there. I'm not stroking my chin. I

880
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: think I spit on myself, that's what I was doing.

881
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: So UCLA not an easy schedule. It's easier than some

882
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: of the competition out there. Oklahoma. We've been talking about

883
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: them for a while. Gotta repeat it. One more time.

884
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: Hold on management text in me, oh, just a pro

885
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: wrestling quote. I introduced him to pro wrestling about five

886
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and now he can't get enough of it.

887
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: So Oklahoma, they don't play Kansas State, they don't play

888
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, they don't play Baylor. They got an easy

889
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: non con because they had their game with Georgia canceled.

890
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: Not their fault. No one's blaming you, but it is

891
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: what it is. They don't have a Power five out

892
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: of conference opponent, but they do play SMU in week two.

893
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: I asked our model model, what do we think about

894
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: SMU at Oklahoma? The model thinks it's under a two

895
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: touchdown game, so very competitive. Reht Lashley and company out

896
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: there doing big things in the portal. Let's keep an

897
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: eye on that game. Oklahoma plays seven of the bottom

898
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: eight teams in terms of preseason odds in the Big Twelve. Again,

899
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: that's not scientific. It's not the end of the world,

900
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: but it is a metric that we like to follow

901
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: around here in lieu of a better one. Louisville. I

902
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: was on ESPN Radio and Louisvie yesterday and I was asked,

903
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: what is a dark horse team out there. What's a

904
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: team that maybe you think could be sneaking around late

905
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: in a conference title picture that no one expected and

906
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: it just so happened. I was on in Louisville, but

907
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: my answer is Louisville. It probably sounded like a homer,

908
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: but that's not the case. I promise if it would

909
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: have been Tucson Arizona, I would have said, why isn't

910
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: it pronounced Tucson? And then I would have said, hey,

911
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: watch out for Louisville. Those would have been our two

912
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: topics of conversation out there. Look at the schedule for Louisville.

913
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: There's no Florida State, there's no Clemson, there's no North Carolina.

914
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: They avoid the top three teams in the conference. They

915
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: play six of the seven bottom teams in the conference.

916
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: They do face Notre Dame. They get them at home, though,

917
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: and Jeff Bram new head coach here, you got a

918
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: lot of the sneak attacks, surprise angle, kind of fog,

919
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: kind of missed around them. They're over under win totals

920
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: eight and a half. It's not cause they necessarily equate

921
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: to other eight win caliber teams. It's cause this schedule

922
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: is secretly really workable. If if Clemson had this schedule,

923
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: if Miami had this schedule, there'd be a lot more

924
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: being said about it. It's Louisville, though, kind of an

925
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: anonymous program nationally and that's why people aren't picking up

926
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: on it. All right. I wanted to. I wanted to

927
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: take some time at the end of the show tonight.

928
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: Now I really appreciate you guys being here. Show's not over.

929
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere and make sure you like the video

930
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: if you haven't already, and subscribe to the channel. Hey, hey,

931
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: by the way, could we reach two hundred thousand subs

932
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: by this weekend? It was once thought impossible at management,

933
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: and now we're that's us knocking on the door. We

934
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: were less than fourteen hundred away at the start of

935
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: this show tonight. We have had our gorilla grassroots marketing

936
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: campaign going on and it worked even better than I

937
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: thought it would, because we have seen a massive surge

938
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: in subs over the past couple of weeks really, and

939
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: it's sort of crescendoed right now. Man, We're getting a

940
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: ton of them every day. So just sub to the

941
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: channel and then get five friends to do it, and

942
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: that's it. It's free. Nothing happens. You just click a

943
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: button and then you forget about it. Keep watching the show,

944
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: though swamp Kinks. The Florida Netflix documentary about Urban Meyer

945
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: six through nine, ten ten never made sense to me,

946
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: but I say it anyway. It's on Netflix right now.

947
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: I have gotten through episodes two and most of episode three,

948
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: and I got some more takeaways. This video did pretty

949
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: good for us the other night, so apparently you're interested

950
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,720
Speaker 1: in it. Motivating accomplished people is one of the hardest

951
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: things to do in the world. There's no blueprint for it.

952
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: No one's ever an expert on it, especially their first

953
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: time around. And I always always love watching how cringe

954
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: worthy it is when someone wins a national championship for

955
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: the first time, or a group of people do, and

956
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: you think, man, we're about to do it again. We

957
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: got Tim Tebow back. Now he's gonna be the starter,

958
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: and we got a better recruiting class coming in. I

959
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: guarantee you you go back to Preview Magazine Syndrome or

960
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: PMS as we've trademarked it to start the seven season.

961
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, can you can you imagine how simple it sounded? Well,

962
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: they just won the title. The Tebow Kids back, they've

963
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: got a better roster. So this team's going to be

964
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 1: better than the one that just won the title. Except

965
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: they weren't. Because there's more to the game of football

966
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: and the game of life than that. And Urban Meyer

967
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: is sitting there in this documentary saying I became so

968
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: mad with this team. Well he was mad with himself.

969
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: That's who he's mad with because he couldn't figure it out.

970
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: You reach a point where you've got all the raw

971
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: ingredients in the room, the stove won't turn on, like

972
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: it's the thing you never thought would go wrong. Is

973
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: what goes wrong. All of these talented people aren't performing

974
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: at the same level they did last year. It's just

975
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: magically they're only an eight instead of an eleven. Well,

976
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: how do I change that? And the answer is, I

977
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: don't know. If you're Urban Meyer in two thousand and seven,

978
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know because I've never been in this situation.

979
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: If you're Nick Saban after you won one in nine,

980
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: he should have had a better eye idea because he

981
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: had done it before. But even then, that twenty ten

982
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: Alabama team lost three games. Check Out Jimbo Fisher after

983
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: he won the title at FSU. This stuff happens. Gene

984
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 1: Chiswick won a title in twenty ten and the entire

985
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: university imploded the next year. This stuff happens, and it's

986
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: always remarkable when someone can figure out how to do

987
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: it again. Or Evan my a year after that in

988
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: eight figures out how to do it again. Oh, by

989
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: the way, you'll love this. So you know, when I

990
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: was talking about swamp Kings the other night, I went

991
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: on about a two and a half or a three

992
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: minute rant about how I thought Tim Tebow's recruitment was

993
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: the most important recruitment in the history of college football recruiting.

994
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: I clipped that video where I said, approximately nothing that

995
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been known for fifteen years. I put it on Twitter.

996
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: Some dude called spoiler alert on me. He called me

997
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: a hack, and he said some of you just can't

998
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: stand but to ruin it for everyone else. And I'm like, buddy,

999
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: did you not know Tim Tebow committed to Florida? Dude,

1000
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: way do you hear about the tight end they had

1001
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 1: on that team? If you didn't know t Bow committed

1002
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: to Florida, if that's a spoiler alert for you, So anyway,

1003
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: sorry for anybody who did not know that Florida failed

1004
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: to win the title again in O seven, but they don't.

1005
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: Canned gatorade is all over this Netflix dot. I love

1006
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: the locker room scenes. I'm really surprised they have that

1007
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: deep a catalog of behind the scenes footage from those years,

1008
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: because multimedia departments weren't as big in the late two

1009
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 1: thousands as they are now. They have an army now,

1010
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: but canned gatorade, like gatorade in glass is undefeated. Gatorade

1011
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: in a can is at least in sight of gatorade

1012
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: in a glass, and they're down in that stuff like

1013
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: it's going out of style. Halftime, end of the third quarter,

1014
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: you got Florida Gators down in canned gatorade. As far

1015
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, if we wanted to replace the stars

1016
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: on the American flag, you put a can gator on there,

1017
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to vote for it over what

1018
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: we have now, but man, it would be a good substitute.

1019
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: Can gatorade is great fruit punch. Cane gatorade is. They

1020
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: should sell that stuff for like twenty five ninety nine

1021
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: a bottle at Public's in the wine sects, and that's

1022
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: where they should sell that at. So anyway, in two

1023
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, Auburn goes in there and beats Florida

1024
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: in the swamp no less, and later in that year.

1025
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: I will never forget this. These games felt so big.

1026
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: It was like pay per view games. Actually, no pay

1027
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 1: per view games actually had a place in the history

1028
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: of college football. They were terrible, but you get what

1029
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like a prize fight. Florida goes to LSU

1030
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. LSU is number one in

1031
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: the country at the time, game days there, whatever we

1032
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: called the tour, and O seven would have been there

1033
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: if I wasn't still a child, basically, and urban Meyer

1034
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: was talking about how that's the loudest environment he's ever

1035
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: been in. Tiger Stadium, LSU loudest environment he's ever been in.

1036
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: Loudest environment that I had been in for a long

1037
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: time until this Tennessee game last year against Alabama. And

1038
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: to be honest, you get at LSU at the right time,

1039
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: no one's gonna match that, No one's gonna match the

1040
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: decibel level. It's incredible. So you know what it made

1041
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: me do, It made me very nostalgic. I've talked to

1042
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: you guys about this before high school audience will not

1043
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: be able to relate to this. I'm sorry, guys, you

1044
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: just missed it. I'm sorry. You got a lot of

1045
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: things going for you right now that prior generations didn't have.

1046
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: You got a lot of stuff working against you. You

1047
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: never got to grow up in an era where the

1048
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: cell phone was not the center of everyone's life. I'm

1049
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: sorry that you didn't get to experience it, because it

1050
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: was wonderful. Now you may be saying, what are you

1051
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: talking about. Cell phones were around in two thousand and seven,

1052
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: that's true, but the video picture quality on your standard

1053
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: eye Josh, in two thousand and seven was not such

1054
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: that you even bothered recording stuff at games, and if

1055
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: you did, it was so unique. You had like, hey,

1056
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: my buddy shot footage at the game, look at this,

1057
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: because't no one thought about that because it was grainy

1058
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: and it was it was bad looking, and you were

1059
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: just gonna immerse yourself in the moment instead. I mean,

1060
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: anyone who is taking content there or gathering content was

1061
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: doing like the disposable camera style, and most people just

1062
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: didn't do that. So I'm a believer stadiums were louder

1063
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: back them because people were not focused on anything other

1064
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: than making noise. And now a lot of folks let

1065
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: the other folks make noise, and they're worried about capturing it.

1066
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: And it's why I have many reasons why I don't

1067
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: watch pro wrestling anymore, but that's one of them. I

1068
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: can't stand looking at that. I know it makes me

1069
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: sound seventy five years old. That's okay, I'm right about this,

1070
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't mind how old it makes

1071
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: me sound if I'm right about something. Age is a

1072
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: social construct anyway, it's not even real. That's why I

1073
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: don't celebrate birthdays. So urban Meyer was talking about that,

1074
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: and it made me think about a theme we've talked

1075
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: about on the show before. College football games and environments

1076
00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: were at their best pre advanced cell phone. Sporting events, concerts,

1077
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: entertainment events in front of large audiences were at their

1078
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: best in the pre advanced cell phone era. And this time,

1079
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: like seven, mid two thousands, early two thousands, and then

1080
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: of course the late two thousands, those are the last

1081
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: times that you're going to be able to go back

1082
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: and watch footage of an era where when something big happens,

1083
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: you didn't just have a sea of cell phones up

1084
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: in the air. You may have had flash bolts, but

1085
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: most people weren't holding the camera. Vince Young sprinting to

1086
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: the far right corner in the Rose Bowl against Matt

1087
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: Lioner and Reggie Bush and that Trojan team in five

1088
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: to win the game. You got some flash bulbs, but

1089
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: you got eyeballs locked on the game. No one's got

1090
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: their cell phone in the air, Hogan Rock WrestleMania eighteen

1091
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: flash bulbs. Otherwise everyone's got their eyeballs on the ring.

1092
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Those are two that I always go back to because

1093
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: those are two really big events in my adolescence that

1094
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: I remember. But this time right here seven For many reasons,

1095
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: I think college football was peaking in the mid to

1096
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: late two thousands. That's just one of them teams getting

1097
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: up after losing a title. It it happens, and that

1098
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: happens after this year. But it was tough Man urban Meyer.

1099
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: He's like pulling the cord on a lawnmower that's out

1100
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: of gasoline, and he's wondering, how come this is not working.

1101
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: I pulled the same cord last year and we won

1102
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: a title. I'm pulling it this year, just and you

1103
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: keep thinking you're eventually gonna nope. Nine in seven. But

1104
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: when I was watching episode three of Swamp Kings, Bradley

1105
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: the associate, was in there with me, and they get

1106
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: like later in episode three and there's b roll of

1107
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: just a police car speeding down the road in games

1108
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: and Bradley said, Oh, finally, here we go. That's what

1109
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: people have felt when they were watching this thing. I'm

1110
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna do the spoiler alert thing.

1111
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm serious. But you can't talk about floor in the

1112
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: late two thousands without talking about critical amounts of legal issues.

1113
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: And they sort of skirt around him in this thing.

1114
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they acknowledge them, but it's acknowledging from a distance.

1115
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, I hung out with a tiger today. Well,

1116
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: come to find out, I went to the zoo and

1117
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: looked at a tiger through plexiglass. Like, yeah, they acknowledge it,

1118
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: but do they really acknowledge it. I'll let you decide

1119
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: that when you watch it. But urban Meyer talked about

1120
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: not kicking guys off the team, so he took a

1121
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: lot of criticism, rightfully so for how big a disaster

1122
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: that program was behind the scenes, and he has taken

1123
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: criticism since then. For a lot of things, both professionally

1124
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: and personally that have played out in the public arena,

1125
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: and he should have. I'm not here to defend any

1126
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: of that. But when he said after I kicked the

1127
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: kid off the team and he ended up dead a

1128
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: year later, I decided, I'm not kicking kids off the

1129
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: team anymore. That's how I'd run a program. I would

1130
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: not kick kids off off team. I'd have disciplinary measures

1131
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: and punishment related measures in place, and I may not

1132
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: put you on the field, and I may suspend you.

1133
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not kicking you off the team. Urban Myers like that,

1134
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,439
Speaker 1: Saban is it except for extreme examples. He's like that.

1135
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: I believe in that. So it would be very hypocritical

1136
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: of me to criticize him for that. But it's been

1137
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty entertaining. I get some of the criticism. Some of

1138
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: you wanted more. I will always remind you the trade

1139
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: off when you get t Bow and Brandon spikes and

1140
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: you get Urban Mare to sit down for this thing,

1141
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: when you get the university signing off, when you get

1142
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: the licensing you need. I told you what documentaries were about.

1143
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: They were about content, and they were about cast and creative.

1144
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Really cast and creative. Who can you get to go

1145
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: on the record. Well, they got the big names on

1146
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the record. The trade off is where are they going

1147
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: to let you go? What kind of creative direction are

1148
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: you really going to be allowed to have? And so

1149
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: you're going to have to h You're gonna have to

1150
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: enjoy some things from a distance in this one. I

1151
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: got episode four still to watch. I'm looking forward to it. Okay,

1165
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: why I've been referencing that so much lately. Now I'm
