1
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: I warned you about November. I told you how long

2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: this month was. I told you it really separates and

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: filters out what's reeling, what is and in college football,

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: they didn't believe me, Jesse Collin, they didn't believe me.

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Yet again they meaning mainly the newcomers to this sport.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: We're happy to have you. We got a loaded show tonight.

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of folks already watching live. I'm

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: always happy to have newbies because we were all new

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: at the table of college football at one point in time.

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: That you need to know. Not everyone has four months

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: worth of gas in the tank. Some folks really fool

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: you in September and October, but November, no one fakes it.

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Through November, we're jampacked high top a dark downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: because that time change means sunsets at four forty five. Joy,

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: it's Sunday, November fifth, Our Lord, twenty twenty three, lsu

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Bama was insane last night. You tried to get your

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: voice back. I wouldn't recommend going and standing down there

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: for four and a half hours, but yet I did

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: last night. And I'm here to tell the tale. You

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: guys really should have beaten Alabama when you had a

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: shot warned you A and M really was shouldering the

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: burden for a lot of America. They didn't get it done,

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and now here goes Alabama downhill moment, and we'll talk

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: about that. I'll talk about all the Week ten reaction.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: an eventful week in ann Arbor, Michigan. And that's not

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: just because they play Penn State on the road this Saturday. No,

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: I think there's some other odds and ends that they

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: come to a head in the not too distant future

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: at all. I'm gonna tell you what I think, and

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: we'll find out together this week. I will reveal the

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: week eleven once upon a Saturday, to our destination. I've

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: got a couple of early best bets. We've got a

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: jam packed show calls. That's what happens when you avoid

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: food poisoning on the road and you actually get back

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 1: to Nashville and do your job. That's all we really

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: want to do is our job. Sometimes it has taken

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: from us, though, I guess in a way November got

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: me last week. They're watching us in Bay City, Texas,

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: can'ton Georgia, Bluefield, Virginia, Tucson, Arizona. Guess what. Guess what

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: management's done. They've decided to fly me right up to

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: New York again this week. So little programming note Tuesday night,

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the show a little bit earlier. It'll

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: be live, everything will be normal. We'll do jpe Pole,

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: we'll do game previews, so it'll be a loaded show.

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: But we're gonna do that thing at six eastern, five

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: Central because I got to hop a Tuesday night flight

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: up to New York. Which I say so casually, but yeah,

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do Inside College Football up there like I

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: did a few weeks ago with New Heuis Old, Brian Jones,

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Brent Stover. We'll do that Wednesday night on CBS Sports Network,

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: and I'll be back here to do the Thursday show.

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: So set your clocks accordingly. Let's dive into tonight's show.

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Listen to how thick the stock of papers in my

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: hand is? You know? The Once upon a Saturday tour

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: took us to Tuscaloosa last night. Alabama forty two, LSU

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight Bryant Denny Stadium was just insane last night.

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: I've been there dozens of games. That was a top

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: three Bryant Denny Stadium environment for me last night, and

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: they brought it. Man, that place was amazing. Washington earlier

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: this year for the Oregon game had been you know,

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the loudest, most raucous venue that I've been to this year,

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: and last night I'm going one A, one B like,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: both of those places really flexed hard. And what a

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: night it was for college football. What a night it

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: was for Alabama. And also what a time to remind

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: ourselves not to take these things I hold in my

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: hand to pen. Don't write your opinions in September in pen,

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: because if I were to sit here and write what

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I wrote, or write what I thought in Penn about

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: Alabama back in September, it would have sounded a lot

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: like this. These fools got no shot. I thought the

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: USF game was worse than the Texas game. Mind you,

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: they lost against Texas. They were lifeless against USF. That

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: was the game Milroe didn't start for you know, whatever reason.

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: And now here we go we fast forward. When when

77
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: when when? When we're we're several weeks down the road,

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: looks like a different team, doesn't it. It's a funny thing.

79
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: It's a funny thing. When you give talented rosters and

80
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: supremely experienced and high level coaching staff's time with those

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: talented rosters, sometimes crazy things can happen. I really wondered

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: in this game if LSU's approach defensively wouldn't really make

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: them vulnerable to Alabama having a really good day on

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: the ground. That's what happened Alabama. Every one of Alabama's

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns I believe, came on the ground. They what do

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: they have? They had two hundred and eighty eight yards

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns on the ground. One hundred and fifty

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: six of that was Milroe, and I I've heard a

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: couple of people today sort of explain it away as

90
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: if to say, oh, yeah, Bama ran it for a lot,

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: but but one hundred and fifty six of that was Milroe. Like,

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: that's not a a six foot two freight train back

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: there who is allowed to run the ball just as

94
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: much as a running back. Is Jalen Milrose actually playing

95
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: his game now, Tommy Reese, credit to that offensive coaching staff.

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: They are calling Jalen Milroe's game now. I wasn't saying

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: that after the Texas game. Sure wasn't saying that after

98
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the USF game. Neither was anyone else who was watching

99
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: this team. It's not a perfect team. It's not a

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: vintage Saban team. It's a team that's plenty good enough

101
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: to win every game on its schedule if the needle

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: is threaded, and if his being Jalen Millroe, if his

103
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: skill set is properly leveraged, that defense is good enough.

104
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: The supporting cast is good enough. They had eight different

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: guys catch balls last night, and Burton wasn't even featured.

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: Jermaine Burton's their wide receiver one had three catches for

107
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards. They're good enough. I thought that even

108
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: back before they hit their stride, I thought they were

109
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: good enough. I picked them to win the national title

110
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: this year. I thought they were good enough. It was

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: just when will they, I don't know, realize that potential.

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: Maybe they're starting to realize it right now. Second halfs

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: are amazing with Alabama. They through let's see, I don't

114
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: want to do through games. How about this? Alabama has

115
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: outscored lsu Ole Miss in Tennessee fifty six to ten

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: in the second half of those games. I was in

117
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: there building all day Friday. Big hat tip if I

118
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: wore hats to David Blue down there in the entire

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: strength staff. Let me work out down there. It's like NASA.

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I got to keep my mouth shut about

121
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: like ninety percent of that technology because I don't even

122
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: think it's been released in NASA yet. It's amazing. You'll

123
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: probably never get the opportunity, but if you do get

124
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: the opportunity to work out down there, take it. Take

125
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: it anyway. So I was in the facility and you

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: know who everyone speaks glowingly of, not so surprisingly is

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Steele. And the reason they love Kevin Steele is

128
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: because of that second half stuff. Is because even with

129
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: an imperfect unit, even with frankly a lot of the

130
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: pieces that was on an even more underachieving unit last year,

131
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: there's an intensity at the very least that he's pulled

132
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: out of that unit defensively that you didn't see last year.

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: And you know what, I had a guy a long

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: time ago tell me that is really resonating to me

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: right now with Kevin Steele is you can tell the

136
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: mark of a leader. You can tell how effective someone

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: is by what he or she is able to pull

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: out of the people they're leading. Whatever Alabama's defense is

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: capable of, Kevin Steele's pulled every ounce of it out.

140
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: And it's not a Kevin Steel's solo effort, nor would

141
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he sit there and tell you that himself. But what

142
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: else do you notice that's changed. I mean, at the

143
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: very top of that defense is Nick Saban, and then

144
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: right beneath him is the defensive coordinator. Kevin Steel has

145
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job. It's about attitude more so than

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: anything else. If you're a longtime Bama fan, you watched

147
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: them the last few years, you didn't necessarily yell, man,

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: we lack talent at your TV screen. You said, who's

149
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: putting their face in the fan here? Like, who's really

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: willing to go over the cliff? Who is properly tackling?

151
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: You could get aggravated about not properly fitting the run.

152
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: You could get mad at guys not playing the ball

153
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: in the air effectively. But even if you lack that,

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: sometimes if you will just play with your hair on fire,

155
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: sometimes you just happen to be in the right place.

156
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes you accidentally make plays they're doing that stuff this year,

157
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, they execute at a

158
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: pretty high level. It's all I need from them. That's

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: all I need from Alabama. I don't need the greatest

160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: of this of all time. I don't need the greatest

161
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: that of all time, because this is not a year

162
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: where I look around the SEC and see a bunch

163
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: of elite. I don't see it anywhere. So that's kind

164
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: of been my mentality with him the whole time. Also,

165
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: I listened to Brian Kelly last night after the game,

166
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: and it was obvious he was kind of trying to

167
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: avoid the thing that people will do sometimes where you

168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: kind of find yourself looking for a pad on the bat.

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: So they go in there last night and they're a

170
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: three point dog and they get beat by two touchdowns.

171
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: And Brian Kelly afterwards was so emphatic multiple times in

172
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: the press conference and saying, yeah, we were good tonight,

173
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: we were good at this, we were good at that.

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: That's not good enough. Good is not the standard around here. Now.

175
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: He's you can claim that's performative if you want to.

176
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: It's not a message to the media, it's a message

177
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: to the organization. I think a lot of folks look

178
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: at that stuff sometimes and they think, well, you know,

179
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: if we were a top five team and we were

180
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: undefeated and we went in here and lost, then our

181
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: world would be crushed. But hey, we've already lost a

182
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: couple of games. This isn't the biggest shock. We did

183
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: some good things tonight. That's what someone who has eight

184
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: and four aspirations says. This is a national championship program.

185
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Let's use national championship program. They're not there yet. They

186
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: weren't there last year when we talked to him. We

187
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: had him on the show in the spring, and he

188
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: talked a lot about how some early success can be great,

189
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: but it can also work to your detriment. It could

190
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: also be like you tying your shoe strings together at

191
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: both ends in terms of tripping yourself up trying to

192
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: make bigger gains down the road because you fool yourself

193
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: into thinking I just figured it out the first time around. No,

194
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: you won some games that you weren't favored to win

195
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the first time around. They've still got so much to

196
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: improve about that program. I've not changed my view on

197
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly an Inch. I think he's absolutely the right guy.

198
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I think he'll absolutely make the right moves. I think

199
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: that by and large, no one's changing their opinion of

200
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: him at this point. But also, look, they showed some

201
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: good things tonight. I just loved what he said afterwards

202
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: when he wasn't It wasn't like he was refusing to

203
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: give credit. He was giving credit, but then saying, yeah,

204
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: but good is not enough. I'm not here to be good.

205
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: We don't wear this uls you look at to be good.

206
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: It's a national championship program and you should expect nothing less.

207
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I love that. What I didn't love so much was

208
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm standing there on the sideline last night, just immensely

209
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: blessed to be in that position every week, and Dallas

210
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Turner goes and just about annihilates Jaden Daniels, and then

211
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: the Ijish starts blowing up, and this happened, I don't know,

212
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: probably fifteen twenty yards in front of me. The broadcast

213
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: I would assume had multiple great angles of it. I

214
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: thought I had a pretty good look at it, and

215
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: I thought it was it was probably football twenty years ago.

216
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: It's probably unnecessary roughness. Last night, I didn't view it

217
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: as targeting. I know what your argument against that is.

218
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not really interested in delving into that in the

219
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: comment section, But I will say this. I have found

220
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: in the past that when these sorts of plays happen,

221
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: I used to get it within Damak and Sue all

222
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: the time. I'm not comparing the two players. Please don't

223
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: say that I am. But I've seen this a time

224
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: or two. Some of these players get labeled dirty players,

225
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: and they get you know, their sin. Dallas Turner's biggest

226
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: sin is he's good enough to be around the quarterback

227
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: a lot. Therefore, he's got more opportunities to put hits

228
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, and inevitably, some of them are going

229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: to knock guys out of games, and some of them

230
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: may come a fraction of a second or two later

231
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: then you're liking and some of them will draw flags

232
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: and some of them won't. But shame on Dallas Turner

233
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: for being good enough to do that. Shame on Dallas

234
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Turner for playing with an edge. By the way, what

235
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: I've noticed is in the past, players of his ilk

236
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: get criticized a lot. And when you really wipe away

237
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: all the sand and all the dirt on top of

238
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: the argument, and you brush the fog out of the way,

239
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: it's just people pissed off. They don't have players like

240
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: that on their own team. That's really who's mad. It's

241
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: not that you really care about the well being of

242
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: the player. About two percent of you do. Ninety eight

243
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: percent of you are just aggravated. Nick Saban's got some

244
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: dude down there who plays a million miles an hour

245
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: and occasionally can be a little reckless. I would take

246
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: one hundred of him on my team. So Dallas Turner

247
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: probably not looking to hit the portal anytime soon. He

248
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: will portal to the NFL soon enough. But if he

249
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: wants a place to play, Dallas Turner can play for

250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: this team right here, Payte State. I got an immediate

251
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: opening for players like that, not necessarily what my LSU

252
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: people want to hear. I know that, but I will

253
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I'd say the same thing if it was your guy.

254
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: I think I actually have before. Hats off to everyone

255
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: down there, both sides, man like that's I always love

256
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: going to that game. The Lsubama game has been my

257
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: favorite game in college football for about fifteen years now

258
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: because the level of the game is played at is

259
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: really high, the stakes are really high. The people just

260
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: absolutely despise each other. It's so great that toxicity makes

261
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: for a wonderful environment, and we got one at Bryant

262
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Denny last night. Man, that place was on fire. I

263
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: said at the beginning of the season, and it was

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: emphatically reiterated last night. Bryant Denny Stadium has this reputation

265
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: as kind of not living up to the hype all

266
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: the time. But the reason is because Bama has been

267
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: so good, those folks got complacent and they never feel threatened.

268
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: That's really it. It's not that they win. The winning makes

269
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you complacent, and you don't ever walk into that place

270
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: really scared you're gonna lose. This year, for three games,

271
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: those folks have walked in there really afraid that they

272
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: could lose. They were truly threatened by Texas. They should

273
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: have been. They got beat, they were threatened and revenge

274
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: minded against Tennessee. Place was on fire. And last night,

275
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: I am telling you, is about as good as I've

276
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: ever heard Bryant Denny Stadium. Why because LSU had a

277
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: good shot to beat you, and you got up in Tuscumbia,

278
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and you got up in Mobile, and you got up

279
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: in Demopolis and muscle shoals mushols to the locals and

280
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: you drove to work accordingly, and I am appreciative because

281
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: I just kind of got to soak it all in.

282
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: So that was awesome. That was amazing. That was week

283
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: ten for the Once Upon a Saturday Tour? Where are

284
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: we going for week eleven? Now you have to pause

285
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: for just a second because I have to type something

286
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: on my laptop and this is me trying to time

287
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: up the live tweet as I make the announcement on

288
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the show. That's all. This is okay, We're ready, all right.

289
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: So there has been a lot of internal debate here

290
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: at twenty four seven and CBS over the past couple

291
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: of weeks about where we were going to go for

292
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: week eleven because it's been very much up in the air.

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: And then a network that will not be named chose

294
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: to exercise their six day flex, which basically means they

295
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: don't announce the kickoff times for the games. And you

296
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: know how much I love a good early kickoff. It's

297
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: not mandatory, but I do love the early kickoff. So late,

298
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: and I mean late into the evening, deliberations continued right

299
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: there in Bryant Denny Stadium. Back and forth we went,

300
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: but we have arrived at the place that I really

301
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: always wanted us to arrive, and that is this Saturday.

302
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: We will be in State College, Pennsylvania, Michigan versus Penn State,

303
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Big noon kickoff, not broadcast by my network, but I'll

304
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: waive the pomp palm anyway. We're going to be there.

305
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: We're going to be there. It's the first time we

306
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: will have been at Beaver Stadium this year. We were

307
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: up there in the spring, but they didn't play a

308
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: game that week, and so Michigan Penn State, huge matchup,

309
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: no room for error, this is it. The only thing

310
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: behind Penn State is a cliff, and if they get

311
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: pushed one step further, they go over it. And I'm

312
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: not going to quite say they're in wounded animal mode

313
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: because they just blasted Maryland yesterday. But I am so

314
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: interested to see what the number one run defense in

315
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: the country right now statistically looks like against well, a real, living,

316
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: breathing freight train of a running game at Michigan. What's

317
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: going to happen this week off the field, I don't know.

318
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it in a few minutes.

319
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to tweek this out right now. I'm still

320
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: calling it Twitter this is going to be so great. Now,

321
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: what time will we get home Saturday night? Will we

322
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: be able to get out of there? It's anyone's guess,

323
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: but we'll be there when it counts. Looking forward to that.

324
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: Always love going up there. Hey, hat tip to our

325
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: buddy Texas Aggie Hype, who makes these graphics for us

326
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: every week, does really good work. I give him virtually

327
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: no lead time and he's boom boom boom, just puts

328
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: it together. I love it, very clean, very crisp. I

329
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: appreciate that. All right, let's continue. We got so much

330
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: more work to do tonight. Still taking precautionary measures for

331
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: the voice here. It's like eighty percent back, but I'm

332
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: still sipping the hot water, not even flavored. Texas held on,

333
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't they? Thirty three to thirty against Kansas State yesterday.

334
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people who was in a hotel

335
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: room yesterday. You may have been at lunch, You may

336
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: have watched the early portion of this game at the

337
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: gym wherever you were. When you saw Texas seventeen Kansas

338
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: State goose egg, you probably said, good for sarking the boys,

339
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: good for Texas. Doesn't look like the Avery Johnson kid

340
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: has an answer. He's not even in the game for

341
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Kansas State. This one's over. Boop, flip the channel. And

342
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, in my case, your uncle Dennis,

343
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: Dennis Dodd walks up to you as you've arrived at

344
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: your place of business. Mine was Bryant Denny Stadium yesterday,

345
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: and Dennis says, hey, Kansas State's about to win the game.

346
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me, and what sport football? What's happened? And what

347
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: happened was they kept playing some turnovers, some crazy things happen.

348
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Seasons are long, I always tell you that. But games

349
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: are long too. Even with the new clock rules, games

350
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: are very, very long. And Texas is up seventeen to

351
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: oh and then all of a sudden. It's crazy how

352
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: you can feel two different ways over the span of

353
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: a game. If you're a Texas fan. Let's just say

354
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: you're Trey Scott, for example, a fictitious buddy of mine

355
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: who happens to really exist. Seventeen to nothing, you are

356
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: on top of the world, and then it's twenty seven

357
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: to twenty one, and you give the ball away and

358
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: you know what's coming, and sure enough, touchdown right down

359
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: the middle and they're lining up to kick an extra

360
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: point to take the lead on you, and it's like

361
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: the soul has been sucked out of your body. Now,

362
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: imagine you're a player. You can afford to feel any

363
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: which way you want to on your couch. Imagine being

364
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: a player. That's the game Texas loses in the past,

365
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: and they didn't. They found a way to win. Yesterday.

366
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Texas out rushed Kansas State two thirty to thirty three.

367
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: If you showed me that, I would grab the paper

368
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: from you. On Friday. I would go like that and

369
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I would say, Wow, you just found the padlock stat.

370
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: But you didn't. Kansas State one point one yards per

371
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: carry was not a padlock stat. As it turns out, well,

372
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: that's what turnovers will do for you, and Texas had

373
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: some killer turnovers. It's sort of the the opposite of

374
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: the Bama game. When Texas played Bama, they closed the

375
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: final seven minutes, they never gave the ball back, and

376
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: in this one they couldn't close the game out and

377
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: as a result, they almost lost the thing. But they didn't.

378
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: And inevitably, you could have told me, if you told

379
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: me in August, Texas is going to win the big

380
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: twelve if you told me, and they haven't, they're the

381
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: favorite to do it still, but they haven't. But let's

382
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: just say they go on to do it. It was

383
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: never gonna be blowouts every week. They were probably gonna

384
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: lose a game somewhere along the lines. And even if

385
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: they lost one like they did to Oklahoma, they're probably

386
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna have another one. Like this, you just have to

387
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: find a way, and they found a way, and it's

388
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: an important thing. They built that seventeen to oh lead

389
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: or where would they have been yesterday. Here's here's what

390
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: I got. If I'm trying to believe in Texas, I

391
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: gotta win. I got a fast start that's very encouraging.

392
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: I got a good defense, a deceptively good defensive performance.

393
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: Three or four of Kansas State's touchdown drives were short drives,

394
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: a positive field position for them brought on by turnovers.

395
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: I thought Texas's defense was putting some very vulnerable positions.

396
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: Yesterday did okay. Not a perfect afternoon, but it's a

397
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: reminder about the second half. You know, I sat a

398
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago. They've been really good. They've been

399
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: a good second half team, and that's something they've been

400
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: very intentional about there. But it's not something that all

401
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: of a sudden, once you've fixed it, you don't have

402
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: to worry about it anymore. You got to focus on

403
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: that stuff. You got to be intentional about it every week,

404
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: or this happens and all of a sudden, your second

405
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: half reputation goes up in smoke and it's the other

406
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: team coming back on you. So the reason I mentioned

407
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: that is once you've won, you get to take a

408
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: lot of your screw ups and you get to use

409
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: them positively. However, if you had lost yesterday, we'd be

410
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: talking about next season because the expectation here is conference

411
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: title and maybe college football playoff, and had you lost

412
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: this game, one or both of those things may have

413
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 1: been out the window. So Texa's got to win. I

414
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: think a lot of good can come from it. Quinn

415
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Eewers is obviously the headline that I haven't mentioned until

416
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: now because he was out again. Malik Murphy started this

417
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: game very up and down. I don't know where arch

418
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: Manning is in his preparation or progression right now. I wonder, well,

419
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: number one, I wonder whether Quinn Ewers will be back

420
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: quicker than we thought he would keep your eyes on

421
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: Horns twenty four to seven dot com for the latest

422
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: on that. And if he's not, if they have to

423
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: play TCU this week without him, how did they distribute

424
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: reps in practice this week? Is it all? Murphy? Still

425
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: very interesting to watch Kansas State just just a minute here.

426
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: Three losses, all by one possession, all on the road.

427
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Tough team. It's a team that lost their top running

428
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: back to the NFL, lost their top receivers, had to

429
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: reinvent themselves mid season. It's a really good program, man.

430
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: I know. I don't need to tell you how good

431
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Chris Climbing is, or maybe I do. Maybe you haven't

432
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: paid a lot of attention to them. Typically, typically, if

433
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: you have the talent acquisition process that you have to

434
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: have at a place like Kansas State, and you lose

435
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: players like Deuce Vaughan, you lose players that they lost

436
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: last year in general. Oh and by the way, you're

437
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: coming off a conference title year that took you to

438
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl. Everyone's gunning for you. Anyway, you should

439
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: fall a lot back further to earth than they have.

440
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: And I know they lost yesterday, but in this sport

441
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: is not the NFL. In this sport. You can impress.

442
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: You can get a backpack from me and a loss.

443
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: Not that they're interested in it in Manhattan, Kansas, but

444
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: I remain ultra impressed with the folks of Kansas State.

445
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: Man But right now, Texas, Oklahoma State, those are the

446
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: only one loss teams in that conference. And then you

447
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: got Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Westford, Via and Iowa State

448
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: all with two losses in conference. And it is November fifth,

449
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: So the Big twelve is revving its engine. And here

450
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: we are in the grandstands. We're ready to watch the show.

451
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: I would like to interest you in a ten thousand

452
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: dollars Academy Sports and Outdoors gift card. I see all

453
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: the hands in the room going up, and that's because

454
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: you're smart enough to know that can go a long

455
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: way towards my Christmas shopping. And then I would like

456
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: to remind you that's not it. They're also giving away

457
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: two tickets to the SEC Championship Game. Where do you

458
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: sign up? Just download and log into the Academy app.

459
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Then you're register. You're good, You're ready to go. Someone's

460
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: going to win this. They might as well be in

461
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: our audience. I stayed in Tuscaloosa in the shadow of

462
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: an Academy Sports and Outdoors this past weekend, and I'm

463
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: a better man for it. Some would argue, having the

464
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: strings available to me that I have, I should have

465
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: pulled one of them and just stayed in the store,

466
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: because frankly, a lot of those camping display setups have

467
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: better accommodations than I had in that hotel. Anyway, and

468
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk to legal about that, Jesse, that's

469
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: not a half bad idea. Actually, well, probably some paperwork

470
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: we have to work through, but maybe on one of

471
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: the future road trips, I just flat out stay in

472
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: an academy overnight. CBS would probably pay for the security,

473
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: maybe half and half we go on that great promotional

474
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: idea anyway, A great idea for you in general. I

475
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Christmas coming up. Just go to academy. Don't even

476
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: worry about what you need, go in there without a list,

477
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: just walk the aisles and realize, oh, they've got this.

478
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: Whoa academy's got that? Because if you've never been there,

479
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: mark my words, you're underestimating what they have. You're just

480
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: thinking sporting goods. You're thinking, oh, you got soccer equipment.

481
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: You got basketball equipment. They got all sorts of stuff

482
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: on top of that, and big League two in the

483
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: checkout line, So Academy dot com if you can't get

484
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: there in person. And as for that contest, okay, the

485
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars gift card two tickets to the SEC

486
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Championship game. Just download the Academy AUP log into it.

487
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: You're good. The official rules are on academy dot Com.

488
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: Backslash rules void. Unfortunately in Hawaii, Alaska, California, and New York.

489
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: I need one of you to go win that because

490
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to enter, which is one of the

491
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: only downsides of partnering with Academy. It is unethical to

492
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: enter the contests. Take a sit from the chalice, I've

493
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: neglected it all night, and then immediately wash it down

494
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: with some warmer water. All right, let's roll along. We

495
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: got so many more games to talk about. Georgia beat

496
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: Missouri thirty to twenty one yesterday, a big misconception game.

497
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna play you some sound in a

498
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: few minutes from Kirby Smart that makes the point I'm making.

499
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: Kirby does that so often makes the points I'm trying

500
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: to make. Huh, It's weird how that works. Where in

501
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: the world is Carson Beck's bad game? Have you noticed this?

502
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Have you waited along with me for him to finally

503
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 1: just lay a massive egg? Not that I'm rooting for it.

504
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, look around at the other first

505
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: year starters at quarterback. Milrose had one, Joe Milton's had one,

506
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: Kyle McCord's had one, Drew Oler's had one. A lot

507
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: of these other first year starters. They've had the predictable

508
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: bumps in the road and volatility and performance week to

509
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: week that comes with being a first year starter in

510
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: college football. Carson Beck is a veteran who just happens

511
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: to be starting for his first year. Unbelievable. They will

512
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: not beat themselves. I said that last week before this game.

513
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: I said, I guess an upset is possible, but Missouri's

514
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: the one that will have to do it. George is

515
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: not beaten themselves. They don't put themselves in that position,

516
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: and they didn't again they one by nine. It's not

517
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: a blowout. Georgia I don't think is an elite version

518
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: of themselves yet. I've said that all year. But they

519
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: don't beat themselves. It's kind of like I said a

520
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: second ago, even if you don't execute as well as

521
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: humanly possible, if you'll just play with max effort, it

522
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: is wild what will happen. The other team will hand

523
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: you the game half the time if you'll just do

524
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: a minimum baseline's worth of your job. The red zone

525
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: was a padlock stat in this game, which we talked

526
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: about the other day. Now, it doesn't take a rocket

527
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: scientist to sit here in front of a microphone and say,

528
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like the red zone is gonna

529
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: be important Saturday. But Missouri was three of three when

530
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: they got there, but they only put up fourteen points.

531
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Georgia was five of five and put up twenty seven.

532
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: And that's essentially your ballgame. Padlock stat number two. Though

533
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Luthor Burden three catches for fifty three yards. You tell

534
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: me that on Friday. You tell me Georgia is limiting

535
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: Luthor Burden to no more than fifty three yards, and

536
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're probably winning football game. And after

537
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: that opening drive, he had two catches for fourteen yards.

538
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: So that is one of the premier weapons in this conference,

539
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: and he was kind of an afterthought on the stat sheet.

540
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: Now he was an afterthought on the stat sheet because

541
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: he was the primary focus of that defense, and I

542
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: get how that works, but they succeeded in really taking

543
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: him out of being the difference maker that he's capable

544
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: of being. Look in football, I really don't think there's

545
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: a proper appreciation amongst most fans, especially the average fan,

546
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: about how small the margins are in college football. People

547
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: convince themselves, oh, man, you got this recruiting budget, and

548
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: you got all these four and five stars, you got

549
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: this massive staff, and you got these immaculate facilities, and

550
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: they think that builds this grand canyon's worth of a

551
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: gap on Saturdays. You're doing all that, you're acquiring, all

552
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: that you're spending, all that you're investing, all that just

553
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: to get inches here and there. It's perfectly laid out.

554
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: In a game like this, you would think Georgia, roster wise,

555
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: staff wise, budget wise, facility wise, they got all these

556
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: massive edges. Win the game by nine points, play the

557
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: game pretty straight up, win it by nine points, and

558
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: some folks out there have the audacity to look at

559
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: it and say, oh, what was wrong with Georgia? Here

560
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: only one by nine? Colin, you got that sound play

561
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: the sound from Kirby Smart after the game, because this

562
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: right here is the message exactly.

563
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: Look, all games are gonna be tight. I don't know,

564
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: like y'all are gonna like we're having tight I mean

565
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: tight games are what you do in the sec I

566
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: mean the margin of victory. It is hard to win here.

567
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: Some projects came out of mesic. Coach, it's hard to win.

568
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: Make sure these guys enjoy it because they realize how

569
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: hard it is. You know, across the NFL, it's hard, man.

570
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: I mean you're gonna get every team's best shot. And

571
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: I thought our guys played a really good football team tonight.

572
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: That's it. Folks don't realize that. Folks don't believe that

573
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: a lot of folks would call bs on him saying

574
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: that right there, he's making excuses for them under achieving. No,

575
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the opposite side of that coin. One

576
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: of the key sources of myopia and uninformed opinion and

577
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: utter stupidity in a lot of cases that spread throughout

578
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: this sport and spoken into a lot of microphones and

579
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: typed on a lot of devices, is a basic, fundamental

580
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: lack of understanding of how small the margins are even

581
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: between teams that have gulfs of budget and recruiting talent,

582
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: roster talent between them like Georgie and Missouri. You're doing

583
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: all that. You're getting all that just to get inches

584
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: here and there, and look over the span of a season,

585
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: maybe it plays itself out. But that margin over the

586
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: span of a drive or a quarter or even a

587
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: whole afternoon is not nearly as big as a lot

588
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: of folks make it out to be in their mind.

589
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: And what can happen when you're not just utterly disposing

590
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: of Missouri by the end of the first quarter is

591
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: some folks can get it in their mind that something's wrong.

592
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong, nothing wrong, man, a football games happening. Actually,

593
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what's right. Something right is happening. It's competition,

594
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: that's what it is. You got a hat tip, Eli Drinkwitz.

595
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm again gonna delve into an area that he'd not

596
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: be interested in hearing right now. These are not folks

597
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: who are wired to go give it the good college,

598
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: try take your loss and then get patted on the

599
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: head because you competed. That's not what they're interested in.

600
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not saying this for his amusement. I'm

601
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: just saying in general, they've lost to Georgia and they've

602
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: lost to LSU, and turnovers late probably cost him in

603
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: both games, and that's it. They've won against Kansas State,

604
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: they've beaten Kentucky, they've beaten South Carolina. So in a

605
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: world where and especially a conference where, it's really tough

606
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: to elevate if you're on one tier of the SEC,

607
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: think about this. How often have you seen programs, not teams,

608
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: but programs elevate a tier. Bam is at the top,

609
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: Georgia's at the top. Think about teams elevating tiers. That's

610
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: a pretty set system. It's a pretty set model. And

611
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: I'd venture to say Missouri is threatening to elevate a tier.

612
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: The reason I say threatening instead of outright doing it

613
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: is because it takes more than one year worth of

614
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: results to at least convince me that you've done it.

615
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: But I had tipping man. There are a lot of

616
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: folks doubt and eli drink what's coming into this year?

617
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, they started winning close games.

618
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: They started scoring more points. It's crazy what happens if

619
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: you'll just score a little bit more. Brady Cook's been

620
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: a revelation of sorts for him, so good for him.

621
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: Seasons not over. Still got who do they have, Colin?

622
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you put their schedule up already.

623
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I know they got Tennessee. Still they've got I think

624
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: a game against Arkansas. Yeah, and Florida. So three games

625
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: here Tennessee, Florida at Arkansas. I think that Tennessee game

626
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: this Saturday is the CBS three thirty Game of the week.

627
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: I'll be watching, will you. They're watching us in Erie,

628
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: pin Sylvania, Panama City Beach, Florida is tuned in tonight. Morgantown,

629
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: West Virginia is tuned in. Oh boy, well, this won't

630
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: be fun. This won't be happy. We're about to talk

631
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: about Miami. If anyone just has the show on in

632
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: the background, the more sadistic minded amongst you and you

633
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: just want to revel in misery, there's your warning. Come

634
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: in from the other room. We're about to talk about Miami.

635
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Miami lost twenty to six to NC State yesterday.

636
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: Just look horrific execution. So first off, congratulations, this is

637
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: me doing an air handshake to the entire NC State program.

638
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: There they've gotten a couple of big time wins this year,

639
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: and they should be applauded for it, and I'm applauding

640
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: them for it. But ninety eight percent of the talk

641
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: in my inbox was about what should happen with Miami?

642
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: What should happen? What do you think about Mario Christobul?

643
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: How did this happen? Look, I'll tell you really quickly

644
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: how it happened. Despite out gaining NC State by sixty yards,

645
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: they lost by two touchdowns because they had three red

646
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: zone possessions and gain three points off of those minus

647
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: two turnovers. That's basically it. That's a recipe to lose

648
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: a football game. However, where's Miami right now? Always do

649
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: the thing in August where we do the best, worst,

650
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: most likely scenarios and we define, or we try to define,

651
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: what would be success. So from Miami, a team that

652
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: went five and seven last year. Back in August, I

653
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: went on a number of different boards. I went on

654
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: the show and I asked what would success be? And

655
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: people said seven and five to eight and four would

656
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: be success. And I'm looking around right now and I

657
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: know by name several of you who told me seven

658
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: and five, eight and four will be success. Are calling

659
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: for changes, fundamentally, changes to the program. That is six

660
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: and three right now, and I'm just wondering what's it

661
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: going to look like when the dust settles. They've got

662
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: three games left. They're all tough. They got Florida State

663
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: this week, they got Louisville, they got Boston College. So

664
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: my get Let's just say they finished seven and five.

665
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: Let's air on the side that assumes they'll lose two

666
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: of these games. Let's say they go seven and five.

667
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: How was the season? They beat A and M, they

668
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: beat Clemson, and due to implosions against Georgia Tech, and

669
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, games like yesterday in North Carolina,

670
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: although I can't prove they would have won those even

671
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: without the turnovers. Seven and five? What's the program? I'm

672
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: asking you, since you asked me, I'm asking you because

673
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think. I think. It's improvement,

674
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I just know that's not popular

675
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: to say when the volume of a loss is still

676
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: reverberating through the fan base the next day. But it's

677
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: pretty simple to me. They've got three losses, and they

678
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: were minus nine turnovers with sixty eight penalty yards on average,

679
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: and those losses. That's why they are a three loss

680
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: team right now. That's the long and short of it. Now,

681
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: the hard question is what do you think the program is?

682
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: To me? It's a question worth asking because that's how

683
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: you define expectation. Everyone that doesn't properly study the history

684
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: of these programs leaves themselves vulnerable to misdefining or ill

685
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: defining expectations, and that sets you up for failure and disappointment.

686
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is what business do

687
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: you have taking a program that's got one double digit

688
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: win season since two thousand and four and just blindly

689
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: expecting ten wins to be the baseline for them? It's illogical.

690
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: And if I brought the alien, our buddy who sometimes

691
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: visits Earth, if I brought him down here and I said, alien,

692
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: welcome back, Bud, how have you been? We got a

693
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: program here one one double digit win season since four

694
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: and we got some folks saying eight wins is not

695
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: good enough? Over here? What do you think? And that

696
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: translates to are you people, hi, what's wrong with you?

697
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Of course that's good enough, But the alien doesn't know

698
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: what we know. He doesn't know who Howard Schnellenberger is

699
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he doesn't know who Jimmy Johnson is.

700
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what has happened there, He doesn't know

701
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: what can happen there. Doesn't know any of this. So,

702
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a little youthful ignorance about the

703
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: alien when it comes to college football. But I am

704
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: telling you this has not been a little three or

705
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: four or five year mini drought. It's been a prolonged

706
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: drought at Miami. And the only point I'm making don't

707
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: be looking at five and seven year one, seven and

708
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: five year two just because you get lost in the

709
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: weeds of individual losses and start trying to, you know,

710
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: hit the reset button. It's not smart. It's not a

711
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: smart way to go about it. They're bordering on a

712
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: top ten class this upcoming year. Most of this freshman

713
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: class is playing right now. Reuben Bain's a stud. The

714
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: ones who aren't playing now will be playing next year.

715
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: That entire class will be on the field next year.

716
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a program that is trending in the

717
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: right direction. Even after another loss yesterday, I always find

718
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: value in saying positive things after the loss, because that's

719
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: how you know I really mean it. Anyone can say

720
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: good things after the win. I jesse correct me if

721
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I think I've been pretty consistent on Miami

722
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: all year. I talked them up when they beat A

723
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: and M I talked them up as a program even

724
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: after they lost to Georgia Tech. I just said the

725
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: decision making was horrible. But that's you know, that's forest

726
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: over here, freeze over here. You start asking me about programs,

727
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: and that's when the memaw adage comes back in. Move

728
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: at the speed of honey, not the speed of water.

729
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, go back in the archives

730
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: and you can check out MEMA's teachings on how to

731
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: differentiate programs from teams. So anyway, Miami lost yesterday. Sucks

732
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: for you guys. Congratulations to NC State. Miami will be okay.

733
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: Next up. Maybe I hold in my hand another team

734
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: that some of you sold on. Maybe I sold on them.

735
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: This is worth another sip of the hot water here.

736
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: You know what happened yesterday. What happened is Clemson won

737
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: a football game that they were not favored in thirty

738
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: one to twenty three. They beat Notre Dame. Sometimes Saturday

739
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: is the ultimate cure. Sunday. Last week, I needed a

740
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: cure from food poisoning, and it was not provided to me.

741
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: The sink was my cure. But dabos he got a

742
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: Saturday delivered to him yesterday, and he got an inspired

743
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: performance from his team and they won. And if you

744
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: have been out of pocket, let me tell you something.

745
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: Last week felt like a month around the Clemson football program.

746
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: And that is credit Tyler from Spartanburg. Whomstever you may be,

747
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: calls into the radio show last Monday night or whenever

748
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: it is and Dabo goes off and I got no

749
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: voice last week, so I couldn't talk about it on

750
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: the show, and it killed me because trust me, friends,

751
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: I did have a few things to say about it,

752
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: and I'll circle back around to that in just a second.

753
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: Hey man, there was no questioning the heart they played

754
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: with yesterday. I didn't question the heart they played with

755
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: at any point in the year. I questioned the ability,

756
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: the ceiling of the team. This surprised me. This result

757
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: surprised me. And then we get the word before the game,

758
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: will Shipley's out. In my mind, one of the only

759
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Premier differences made types offensively for Them's out. And Phil

760
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: Maffa steps up at running back thirty six carries, one

761
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two yards, two touchdowns. Good for him,

762
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: good for Clemson's offense, good for the team. Saturday Sat

763
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: Just get Saturday at your doorstep and it can make

764
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: so many things right in the moment. In reality, nothing

765
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: changed bigger picture yesterday. I'll get back to that in

766
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: just a second. Notre Dame, I do need to talk

767
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: about him for a second. Notre Dame. They had three

768
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: three and outs in their final six drives. They had

769
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: a punt, they had an interception, they had a turnover

770
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: on downs. Not a good finish. Clemson has something to

771
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: do with that, obviously. Not a good finish for the Irish.

772
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: And Sam hartman Man has been a disappointment that quarterback

773
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: up there. I'm not putting it all on him, by

774
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know that the other offensive staff has

775
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: put him in the best position. And I want you

776
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: to think about this because I don't know that I

777
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: don't know that many people thought they'd be saying this

778
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: about a month and a half ago. But when Tommy

779
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: rees left South Bend, they elevated Rodd Parker internally to

780
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I'd say Tommy Reese is doing a lot

781
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: more with Jalen Milroe at this point in the season

782
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: than Parker's doing with Sam Hartman. Hartman was thirteen to

783
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: thirty yesterday. He's had multiple interceptions in three of his

784
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: last four games, and just expected more. Maybe that's on me.

785
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: I'm always willing to consider the possibility that maybe I

786
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: built a guy up a little bit too lofty in

787
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: my own head. Maybe it's my expectations that are the problem.

788
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Sam Hartman's not the problem. Maybe Parker there in

789
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: the offensive staff is not the problem. Maybe we need

790
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: to share the blame. I think we can all agree

791
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: upon that. At least, the what now culture is having

792
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: a time. The what now culture is the kind of

793
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: folks who last week wanted to fire Dabos Swinney. Then

794
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: he wins a game yesterday, and the what now is

795
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Oh, they're rejuvenated, They're revitalized. Dabos

796
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: turned the page. Oh look at this teary postgame press conference.

797
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: That's emotion. Your emotions make you do some terrible things.

798
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's wonderful. God implanted that in me for a reason.

799
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: But all due respect to my creator, when it comes

800
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: time to judge this stuff. I cannot let game by

801
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: game results cloud my better judgment on this. Nothing's changed

802
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: about the overall trajectory of the Clemson program over the

803
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: last two weeks. So you had the worst of outcomes

804
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: and the best of outcomes. When Dabo went off on

805
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: that caller on the radio show, I tweeted out, Dabo's

806
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: not gonna change, and that was not me taking the

807
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: caller side against him. Unfortunately I had no voice, so

808
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't really vocalize this. Some people took that to

809
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: me and oh, he's going after Dabbo, And in reality,

810
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: Dabo dealt with that caller exactly how he should. I'm

811
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: all for Duncan on the guy. I don't care about that.

812
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is what came out of Dabo's mouth

813
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: was validation and further amplification of the point I've made

814
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: to you for a long time, and that is you

815
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: may look at his approach to the transfer portal and

816
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: just assume that once they lose some games because they're

817
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: not talented enough, he'll change. And I'm telling you I

818
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case. I've told you that the

819
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: entire season. When Dabo says it. It just makes me

820
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: feel more confident that my opinion is spot on, and

821
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: he is sort of dug his heels in on the idea,

822
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: not to get into specifics, but the idea in general

823
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: that my approach works. I built Clemson, not alone, but

824
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: I built Clemson. My ways won titles here and he

825
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: believes it will. Again, my fundamental disagreement there is he's

826
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: right about what's happened in the past. I just happened

827
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: to think some of the approaches that did work in

828
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: one era may not be tailor made to work in

829
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: this era or the coming era. And we'll find out

830
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: one way or the other. And it's ultimately up to him,

831
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: it's not up to me. But either way, no win

832
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: yesterday or loss they would have lost the game really

833
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: changes that. It's just as good. It's a good Saturday

834
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: afternoon if you're a Clemson Tiger fan. That's the long

835
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: and short of it. We have got well, I got

836
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: a few more things to talk to you about, and

837
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: then I got some best bets coming up. I get

838
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: asked every week, probably dozens of times, it could be hundreds,

839
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: at least dozens some of you asked me if I

840
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: want to bet on football, where should I go? And

841
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: I always I've got actually in my phone, I've got

842
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: typed out my advice on betting. And it is boring,

843
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: and it is a lot lot of times it's encouraging

844
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: you not to do it because you cannot afford to

845
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: do it. And it's some advice on money management and

846
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: proper discipline. And I look, I am a partner with FanDuel,

847
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: and yet I tell you sometimes, don't do this stuff

848
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: for fun. And if you're doing it for fun, that's okay.

849
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: Like you know, a lot of you go to the

850
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: movies and you hand over ten dollars because you're going

851
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: there to be entertained, And a lot of you look

852
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 1: at betting the same way. I am handing FanDuel ten

853
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: of my dollars. I'd love to win, but even if

854
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't win, it kept me entertained this afternoon. And

855
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: if that's the way you look at it, that's your prerogative.

856
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: I never looked at betting that way. Betting's not fun.

857
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: It never was fun for me. I strictly did it

858
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: to make money. And so I say all that to say,

859
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: when you guys come to me and you ask me,

860
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: I copy and paste the same response and I give

861
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: it to all of you. That's my blanket betting it.

862
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: But when you ask me where you should go, that's

863
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: where I have the answer. I got the answer because

864
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: we have partnered with FanDuel for that very reason. I

865
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: don't need to guess around there. Like right now, you

866
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: sign up there, you bet five dollars, they're matching it

867
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: with one hundred and fifty. And I don't care if

868
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: you win by a million or lose by a million

869
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: on the game you bet five bucks on, they're putting

870
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty in your account. That's just cause

871
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: we said so, not called stone cold said so. Because

872
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: we said so, you go to FanDuel dot com backslash

882
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: i'll give you our first two best bets of this week.

883

886

Speaker 1: can bake a bad afternoon. M It's all brought to

887
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: you by FanDuel. So we're very fortunate to partner with them.

888
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: And here's the thing that I've I'll tell you this

889
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: full disclosure. When I met with FanDuel, what was different

890
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: about our negotiations with them versus a couple of the

891
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: other big guys out there is a couple of the

892
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: other big guys were emphatic that we promote certain things

893
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: on this show that I think are guaranteed money burners,

894
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 1: and I said I wouldn't do it, and we didn't

895
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: partner with them. When I met with FanDuel, they said,

896
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: you call it and we'll taylor something that works for you.

897
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,200

923
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: cannot promise the good vibes continue here because the piece

924
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: of paper I'm holding in my hand says Florida got

925
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: beat by Arkansas yesterday. Here's how big a surprise this was.

926
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: Trey Biddy did his walk and talk for Hogs twenty

927
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: four to seven or Hogsports, and he wasn't even he

928
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: wasn't even in the swamp. He's just in a nondescript location.

929
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: I think there was a park in the background. I

930
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: saw those those Frisbee golf nets in the background. Thirty

931
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: nine to thirty six, Florida upset by Arkansas in overtime.

932
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: And I don't really like the I told you so

933
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: kind But did we not just flat out call this

934
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: On the Thursday Show In the upset alert section, the

935
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: line was five and a half I never understood the

936
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: public sentiment on this game. Last week people were looking

937
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: at it and saying, boy, if Arkansas were to pull

938
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: this off, what it's a very mild upset. I didn't

939
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: get it. I really didn't get it. The line dropped

940
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: to three before kickoff. I just why would that have

941
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: been a major upset? Florida is not a good team.

942
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: Neither is Arkansas. The difference is Arkansas was underrated because

943
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: of that. I'm not gonna keep saying I told you guys,

944
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: because that gets really redundant. But I we have spoken

945
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: about this. You and I have spoken about Arkansas. So

946
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: the whole thing about this is now it's raising a

947
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of questions about Billy Napier while they were already raised.

948
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: It is massively turning up the volume, amplifying if you will,

949
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: those questions. Sub five hundred year one pay he's seen

950
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: for five and seven in year. No, never mind, that

951
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: was Mike Norvell. That was current undefeated head coach of

952
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: Florida State Mike Norvel that did that his first two years.

953
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: Why do I mention that? Because William Napier, you might

954
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: know him as Billy, looks like he's about to do

955
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: the same thing. Sub five hundred is first year, five

956
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: and seven thereabouts his second year, and that's being used

957
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: and packaged and sent to me as evidence that they

958
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: need to fire him. He's not gonna be fired. Billy

959
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: Napier's not getting fired. I'll bet you money on that.

960
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that FanDuel has a prop on it,

961
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: but i'll bet you money on that. He's not getting

962
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: worse week by week either. I don't know if you

963
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: understand how this works. He's not forgetting the football he

964
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: once knew. It's just that games are happening, outcomes are happening.

965
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Right now, his future is

966
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: not tied to twenty twenty three. His future is tied

967
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty four season and that twenty twenty

968
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: four recruiting class and DJ lag Way and everybody knows it.

969
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: And if you don't, I'm telling you that's the situation

970
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: at Florida. So right now, they got a top five

971
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: recruiting class, that's it. They got a premier quarterback in

972
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: that class, and Lagway, that's it. They got a ridiculously

973
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: difficult schedule next year. And you'll have to cross that

974
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: bridge when you get to it. It is hard to

975
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: rebuild in the SEC. It's hardest to do it in

976
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: this conference. I'm not saying it's easy elsewhere, but like

977
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: what Jedfish is doing at Arizona, hat tip to him,

978
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: is a little bit easier to do out there because

979
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: the personnel along the lines of scrimmage are different in

980
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: such a way that there are changes away from the

981
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: ball that sometimes are the difference in three or four games.

982
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: Whereas down here the attrition and line of scrimmage talent

983
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: really make it so as it's tough to rebuild. Now,

984
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: if you doubt that, I will also tell you those

985
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: words are not necessarily mine. It is a well known

986
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: coach not affiliated with Florida, a well known coach that

987
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: I talked to about that today because I wanted his

988
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: opinion on Florida. I'm not telling you it's gonna work.

989
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of times when I'll do

990
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 1: segments like this, get a little worked up, people will

991
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: take that to mean there he goes defending whoever. In

992
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: this case, there he goes defending Billy Napier. I got

993
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: no clue if it's gonna work. I don't know. I've

994
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: never said otherwise. I'm just telling you he's not gonna

995
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: get fired. He shouldn't get fired. It is. It's incredibly

996
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: shortsighted to advocate for that kind of approach knowing full

997
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: well what's happening right down the road in Tallahassee and

998
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: what wouldn't be happening if they pulled the plug after

999
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: a couple of subpar years at the outset of Mike

1000
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: Norvell's tenure in Tallahassee. And I'm also telling you twenty

1001
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: twenty four, it's where rubber meats road, and that twenty

1002
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty four recruiting class with that quarterback is where rubber

1003
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: meats road. And a few staff changes and Lagway being

1004
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 1: the real deal at quarterback, and all of a sudden

1005
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: boom and a lot of you are going back in

1006
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: deleting tweets and deleting message board posts like they're doing

1007
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: at Michigan right now. You got a lot of folks

1008
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: defending Jim Harbaugh to the absolute death who called for

1009
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: him to be fired a few years ago. Here's the thing.

1010
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: You get to do that as much as you want

1011
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: to on Twitter. You get to do that stuff as

1012
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: much as you want to on your message board. But

1013
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 1: if you're the actual ad you don't get the redo.

1014
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: When you fire the guy, he's fired, and then your

1015
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,439
Speaker 1: program may rebound or it may go in a tail

1016
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: spin and disappear for the next fifteen years. So unlike

1017
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: people who have the fortune or the ability to change

1018
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: their opinion week to week on this stuff, you got

1019
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: to be really sure if you're the actual decision maker.

1020
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: Some added takeaways from this very interesting Week ten of

1021
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: college football. Oklahoma State my preseason Big Twelve Championship game

1022
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: pick mind you one against Oklahoma yesterday in the final

1023
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: Bedlum twenty seven to twenty four. There's a shark fin

1024
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: just offshore in the Big twelve, and it's got an

1025
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State cowboy logo on it. Whomstead of thunk it

1026
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: right other than us, of course. Now, I want you

1027
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: to do me a favor. I'll do pretty much anything

1028
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: within reason you guys want me to. I do need

1029
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: you to do me the small favor of completely forgetting

1030
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: that we did a reprediction special in the middle of

1031
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: the year where I may or may not have waffled

1032
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: on this pick Nope doesn't count as far as you go.

1033
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: I want you to forget it. Ever, happened. No Texas,

1034
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. That was my pick in August. That's the

1035
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: only pick that we're going to acknowledge the existence of

1036
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: and LAWA behold. They are one to two in the

1037
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: odds market right now. They are favored to play in

1038
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: the Big twelve championship game. Oklahoma State got boat raced

1039
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: by South Alabama earlier this year, I mean pants at home.

1040
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: And now they've won five straight. They're rolling anything as

1041
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: possible that Mike Gundy has gone full Kevin Garnett mode.

1042
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: Anything is possible in Stillwater, Oklahoma Washington fifty two, USC

1043
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: forty two. You know, I probably should have put this

1044
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. Alex Grinch got fired today the

1045
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator there. Like it's happened. There's no more guess work.

1046
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: Will Lincoln Riley do it? It's happened. And if you're

1047
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: new to this sport, we got about a what is it? Jesse?

1048
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty three teams play at the FBS level.

1049
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: So defensively for USC, whether it's scoring, total rushing, passing

1050
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: plays of ten plus yards given up, they were in

1051
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: the one hundreds in every single category defensively, So Alex

1052
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Grinch has been fired. They're gonna move some staff around there.

1053
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: They go to Oregon this week. It won't get any

1054
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: better immediately. I wouldn't think Washington though, prime position. I

1055
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: don't know if your mind does this thing sometimes where

1056
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: because Washington played a weird game against Arizona State where

1057
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: they didn't score an offensive touchdown, your mind does this

1058
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: weird thing. They went to Stanford and they played a

1059
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: close game. You kind of think in your head they lost,

1060
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: but they haven't. Washington's still undefeated and they're in prime position. Now.

1061
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: They've even got some wiggle room out there, and Washington

1062
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: Oregon may be on a collision course for that Friday

1063
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: night in a Las Vegas Pack twelve championship game not

1064
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: too far down the road. Oh, by the way, just

1065
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: a Stats and Info has provided me with this helpful

1066
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: post it Dylan Johnson to give you an idea how

1067
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: bad it's been for USC. Dylan Johnson, running back for Washington,

1068
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: had never had a one hundred yard rush game in

1069
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: his career. He went twenty six carries for two hundred

1070
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: and fifty six and four touchdowns yesterday. Everybody gets right

1071
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: against USC's defense, but I'm not going to pile on

1072
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: because they did make moves today. Next up, ole Miss

1073
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: beat A and M thirty eight to thirty five. Ole

1074
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Miss is about to go to Athens, Georgia this Saturday

1075
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: night and play against Georgia in one of the biggest

1076
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: games of Lane Kiffin's career. But in the meantime, I'm

1077
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: looking in the rear view. Jackson Dart went twenty four

1078
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: to thirty three, three eighty seven, two touchdowns yesterday. This

1079
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: is kind of lost in this season because he's been

1080
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: so good. Do you remember what happened in the spring?

1081
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember they went and got Walker Howard from LSU.

1082
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Do you remember they went and got Spencer Sanders, multi

1083
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: year starter from Oklahoma State? And the big Q question was, Oh,

1084
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: how's that quarterback room going to shake out? It shook

1085
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: out the same way it did last year. It is

1086
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's job and he never even really made it close.

1087
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: And it's playing really good ball and Ole Miss is

1088
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the country right now.

1089
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: But the bigger question around this game, because naturally America

1090
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: loves to talk about losers, is what's gonna happen with Jimbo.

1091
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't ironically, I don't have anything more to say.

1092
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: It is what it is. These are the results that

1093
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: you would expect to get. The results that you're getting

1094
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: from Texas A and M are directly aligned with the

1095
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: leadership at Texas A and M. They're not a terrible team.

1096
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: It's not a terrible program. There's nothing overly special about

1097
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: them right now either, and therefore that's the kind of

1098
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: result you're going to get. They're very bad on the road,

1099
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: and that's not a yesterday thing. By the way they

1100
01:01:55,640 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: fought yesterday. No one here suggesting otherwise. They just should

1101
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: be better and they're not. And I am not sure

1102
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna change. They're probably gonna end up somewhere around

1103
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: seven and five, and we'll see what happens. I just

1104
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything new to say about it. Penn

1105
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: State smoked Maryland yesterday, fifty one to fourteen. Maryland had

1106
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: negative forty nine rushing yards. Of course, sacks are accounted

1107
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: for there. Penn State's run defense number one in the

1108
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: country in power five by ten yards per game. Drew

1109
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Aler had the best game I thought of his season yesterday,

1110
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and it's just it's all gearing up for Michigan. Sorry,

1111
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: I had to jolt there. Almost got a lake cramp.

1112
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Michigan's coming to town Saturday. We will be there when

1113
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Michigan comes to town Saturday. Cannot wait. Everybody thinks they

1114
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: know how good Michigan is, and I don't think anyone

1115
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: actually does. So we'll start to find out this Saturday.

1116
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, we'll do this and then we'll get

1117
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: best bets and we'll get out of here. So the

1118
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Michigan situation with Harbaugh and Connor Stallions, who has since

1119
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: been relieved of his duties there, it's something that everyone's

1120
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: been following. I think actions coming this week. There's way

1121
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: too much smoke around this though. There's been a lot

1122
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: of reporting, a lot of speculation done, and some of

1123
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: you wanted to know what I think. I think that

1124
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of legal maneuvering behind the scenes.

1125
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I think Tony Pettiti, the new Big ten commissioner up there,

1126
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: listened to the loud complaints from his member head coaches

1127
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 1: and member institutions and they have pushed hard for him

1128
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to take action where the Playoff Committee will not and

1129
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: the NCAA is not fast enough to they want action

1130
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: taken against Harbor Michigan this season up there, and I

1131
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: think some dramas come in this week. That's what I think. Now,

1132
01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation out there that maybe maybe

1133
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: the Big Ten presented the idea of an indefinite suspension,

1134
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: whereas maybe Michigan thought they were going to recommend a

1135
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: couple of games, and maybe they would have even been

1136
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: happy to acquiesce with that, or not happy but acquiesced

1137
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: with it. If the Big Ten suggests indefinite suspension, you

1138
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: are not getting Michigan's approval on that. I don't think

1139
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get Michigans cooperation. I think in turn, you

1140
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: may be setting up just fascinating spectacle. By the way,

1141
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: you may be setting up for mid season legal battles

1142
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,959
Speaker 1: between Michigan and their own conference. And I don't even

1143
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: I can tell you confidently we'll have to call Dan

1144
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: Lust tomorrow morning because I have no clue how to

1145
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: break that down for you. So we'll probably need to

1146
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: get help on the show. I don't know that we

1147
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: have precedent for that. I don't know that there's anything

1148
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: in history that you look at and say, oh, this

1149
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: reminds me of this, This reminds me of that could

1150
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: be wild though, and I will reiterate there are also

1151
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: things going on behind the scenes that we really don't know.

1152
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: It's just because you're reading on a board, just because

1153
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: you're read it on Twitter, it doesn't mean it's reality,

1154
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: or it may be reality, and it's only a one

1155
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: layer of the onion. And the way that I gauge

1156
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: this stuff is it's not hard to get people to

1157
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: talk about this with you. Behind the scenes. I have

1158
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: found I have got people, and a lot of them

1159
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: in the big ten are willing to talk about it.

1160
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when there's a big story

1161
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: in college football, folks will tell me things and they'll say, yeah,

1162
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: you can say that, just don't mention my name. Most

1163
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: everyone who has shared any kind of information with me

1164
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: on this Michigan thing has said I can't have that repeated,

1165
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: which is how I know it is really tight, really

1166
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: buttoned up up there right now. And if that's what

1167
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm hearing, me knowing good and well, I'm only hearing

1168
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: a fraction of what's actually going on. That means there

1169
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: is a lot that's probably integral to this that we

1170
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: have no idea about, and that leads to a lot

1171
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,439
Speaker 1: of refreshing on the phone. So keep your eyes peeled, man,

1172
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: keep your eyes peeled, because it could be a very

1173
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: eventful week in the Big ten. And that leads, by

1174
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: the way to Michigan at Penn State, where we will

1175
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: be this Saturday, just coincidentally, right in the eye of

1176
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: the hurricane as usual. All right, Ramen Noodle Express, let's

1177
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: get some best bets and let's get out of here.

Speaker 1: by FanDuel. We're gonna kick it off with Pitt minus

1180
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: one this week. They're going to Boston College and how

1181
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: about some Tuesday maction for you. I think there's a

1182
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: lot of value on ball State plus ten and a half.

1183
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: So those are the two early best bets for us

1184
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: this week. Pit minus one ball State plus ten and

1185
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: a half got through it tonight night Voice hopefully back Tuesday.

1186
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Remember six Eastern, five Central. That's the start time on
