26
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: day of somewhat warmth before the entire country goes into

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: a freezing cold. Uh. The winter is here. Um, the

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: debt are on their way, so be wary. I didn't

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: get some good news last night, though, t Bob, No,

30
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones. Not everything is hot

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: to do with Hanna cuts pop um, the walking Dead,

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: white Walkers, white walkers, Witker. I see the creezes coming in,

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: so the white walker? Okay, wow, do you know what

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: is coming? No? No, okay, yes, true, but okay, I

35
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: am not a judging nerd, and I believe that it

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: is the thought that counts. And you, extending yourself to me,

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: try to throw a very nerdy reference out there, and

38
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I love you, and it's it is very well appreciated.

39
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I agree, I too, may see a white walker this

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: week and down here in Louisian. Yes, I appreciate you

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: appreciating my efforts to nerdify myself to get to your level.

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: But I did get some good news last night. Woke

43
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: up this morning to an email saying, hey, we want

44
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: you to come down the Tampa and cover the gas.

45
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: But Rillabowl. So that was on Friday night. I want

46
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to watch a little football tune in I think six Eastern.

47
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: I want to say Missouri versus Wake four. This was

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: my top game before the Christmas Day and now I'll

49
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: be on it. Unfortunately, I did put a bet on

50
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: it already and I think told the world. So hopefully

51
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't get in trouble. But that was pre me

52
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: knowing that I was going to be on the game.

53
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: So I think I am confused. Are you working the game?

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: Invite you to come like watch the game? No, I'm

55
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: calling the game when you you did a great job

56
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: at in far Ago last week? Yeah, freeze mass off,

57
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: but no, now I get I get rewarded with a

58
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: nice trip down the Tampa. Okay, oh god, I don't

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: know why I'm calling. Uh uh wait, vincify State not

60
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: playing the guess Rillable. I'm very confused. Guessable to pirate

61
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: pole right? No, No, there's two bowls in Raymond James Stadium,

62
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: gasper Oka and the Outback Bowl, which I do not

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: believe is called the Outback Bowl anymore. I think there

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: has been a name change. But those are two games.

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: Are you telling me? Are there rules now to the

66
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: Outbacks changed? It? Questions? Quest okay, okay, okay. Let's let's

67
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: pump a couple of breaks here, but both because I

68
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: have a couple of Tampa questions for you. Tampa seems

69
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: um like a very interesting part of the country and

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: that I know next to nothing about it, but it

71
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: seems to have his own bubble environment. I'm going to

72
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: disagree there. That is one of the few things that

73
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I know from an early twenties batchelor party and anytime

74
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: where you are so hung up on the female nipple

75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: that if you show nipples, I'm only allowed to drink

76
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: alcohol outside. But if you don't show nipples, did I'm

77
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: allowed to alcohol inside? Uh? That's that's so stupid, Like

78
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: that is the height of where are we drawing these

79
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: oddlines in the sand? It makes no sense. Mons Venus

80
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: is overrated at l smashes all day. That's fine, um,

81
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: But I believe Tampa has a major pirate community. This

82
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: is correct, right, major pirate. We we we do celebrate

83
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I say we. I live in at Laa now and no,

84
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I have no family lives in Tampa anymore. But Tampa

85
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: does celebrate Gasparrella. So it's the invasion of the bay

86
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: and there's thousands of ships. This is when like Tom

87
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Brady was throwing, actually that was that was actually the parade.

88
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's like that, there's thousands of boats and they

89
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: shut down Bay shore and it's a whole parade and

90
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: shenanigans and beads and boobs and drinking and all the

91
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: good times. It's it's it's it's quite fun. Um. A

92
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of good stories from Gasparla. Uh well, it seems awesome, right,

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: But so so that same organization like a Mardi Gras

94
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: crew over here in Louisiana. They're the ones that put

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: on the bull games, right, So again, I know they

96
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: do all sort of charitable drives, and the ones that

97
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: go to visit the kids hospital, you don't half of them.

98
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: So I guess my point is too full. Mississippi State

99
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: is playing in one of those bowl games. It is

100
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: simultaneously very sad because Mike Leach was literally going to

101
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the most perfect bowl game that he ever could have

102
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: a Bowl game put on by modern day pirate reenactors

103
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: in which the stadium will have a pirate chip in

104
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: the stadium. And but but, but so it is very

105
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: sad on the one hand. But on the other hand,

106
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: it's a great way to honor, right, I mean, the

107
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: man who lived under the piratical skull and bones, the

108
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: jolly Roger uh, the man who wrote a book called

109
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: Swing Your Sword will now be honored at the literal

110
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: most pirate themed bowl game of all of bull season,

111
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: which has been fantastic, by the way. So that's really cool, man.

112
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm really I would love nothing more than to go

113
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: experience Tampa with Aaron Murray one day. Ha ha uh

114
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: we get into some trouble, I know that I will

115
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: go back to the Yeah. Um, I think it's very fitting.

116
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: I love it, And I hope that that the ball

117
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: game has now had what three weeks, they will have

118
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: three or four weeks to too essentially put something together

119
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: that is very very special for Mike Leach. I mean,

120
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not, like, my imagination is not great in this sense,

121
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping, like just NonStop, just booming cannonball fire,

122
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. They will do something right. Like

123
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the ball game is always one of the better ball games.

124
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: That's not one of the the quote unquote elite bowl games.

125
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Like we think like the BCS era, the playoffs, that

126
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: the Outback Bowl I've played in and I think you've

127
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: played in it. They do a hell of a job.

128
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful stadium, beautiful town. Whether it's gonna be incredible.

129
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Um yeah, this was to me the most perfect game

130
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: to celebrate one of the best coaches. The most exciting

131
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: code is that we ever got the witness. So for

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: those who are like man just kind of look on

133
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: the outside end, like, oh, I don't want to watch

134
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Missippi State verse Illinois. That games sounds kind of block.

135
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with that. Do you think it's

136
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: a very good matchup? But but I will say this,

137
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: just make sure you tune in for the first like

138
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen minutes, just see the beginning of the

139
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: game and the honoring of of Michael Leach. I think

140
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty bad as That's all I gotta say. Yeah,

141
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: I hope that. Um I I I'm interested to see

142
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: if miss State could turn around the uniforms in time

143
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: to get like a jolly Roger on the helmet or

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: the old old buccaneer helmets. That's what they should do.

145
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, I guess you're not wrong. Just

146
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: like color and color or different color. Uh No, I

147
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: actually never got to play in the a Back Bowl, Aaron,

148
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I have no Tampa experience outside

149
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: of one batchom party weekend of which I don't remember

150
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: half of. So it's a very limited Tampa window. Uh.

151
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: I am drawing from here. One day I hope to

152
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: rectify that. Um. You know what time it is, boys,

153
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: It's that time of year nowadays, Christmas is in the air,

154
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: which can mean but one thing. It's teen boys season

155
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: here in the college football world. As over the next

156
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: couple of days, every college football fan in the country

157
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: will be locked in trying to see which hard body

158
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: teams they're gonna recruit to their favorite program. Uh. The

159
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: the the the boys that will decide the future of

160
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: your team. Will you be a dynasty, will you win championships?

161
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Will you fail? I mean, I guess a little bit

162
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: of this is all taken away because you can just

163
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: get other older boys from the pearl and a couple

164
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: of years. But The point is National Signing Day is tomorrow. Now,

165
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this. I am not

166
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: someone who follows recruiting. UM I actually, well, it's not

167
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: that I don't care about it, because it is the

168
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: literal lifeblood and it is the main, uh core, fundamental

169
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: element that you must have if you want to be

170
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: an elite program. What I don't like about it is

171
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the element in which we focus on a single player.

172
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: Right like again uh in the micro when you zoom in,

173
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't really give a damn about a single individual player.

174
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: Those certainly like for Elshoe, there's like a Desmond ricks

175
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: at corner out there, five stars shirt. There's gonna be

176
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: your big, big guys. But I don't really care about

177
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: the individual players. I do. I don't know I've said

178
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: this for it, but I do think there's huge value though,

179
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: in something like the team rankings, the macro view of recruiting,

180
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: because if you want to compete for championships and if

181
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: you want to be in this college football playoff, I

182
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: do believe you basically have to be a top ten

183
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: class every now and then you're going to get a

184
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: school that maybe punches up and and and and does

185
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: a bit better. But I mean, if you look at

186
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: the just top ten on two four seven right now, Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Texas, LSU,

187
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, or of State, Oklahoma, Tennessee Clipson, who do

188
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you think about making the playoff? Year and in year out?

189
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: Every single team you think of was right there in

190
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: that top ten. Actually maybe safe for Michigan, who's all

191
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: the way down to nineteen right now, which just twenty

192
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: one commits interestingly, But the point of this is, sure,

193
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: you might get lucky every now and then, but if

194
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: you want to be a perennial power, you have to

195
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: kick as in the recruity drop. You must find yourself

196
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: in this top ten. Well, I think that the big

197
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: question to me, and we talked a little bit about

198
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: this on or I did on AMP about an hour ago,

199
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: is what is the importance of UM recruiting compared to

200
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: the transfer port right now? In the sense of, like

201
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: I thought at the beginning of this whole thing, beginning

202
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, I was a little bit

203
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: down on us see the Trojan boys and and and

204
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: and just felt like, hey man, until I see it work,

205
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: I will not believe that you can win with just

206
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: going directly through the portal, and and what we learned

207
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: this year is yes, you can win by going out

208
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: there and in getting players that you need curtain positions

209
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to fill those voids instead of waiting for a a

210
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen year old kid kid out of high school

211
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: to develop to be ready to play. Hey, we gotta

212
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: win now. As the head coach, you know, like, hey man,

213
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: my my window to win is limited. The amount of

214
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: years that I get to be at the university is limited.

215
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: And if I don't win and win fast, especially for

216
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: young coaches, then I'm asking thenna be out the door.

217
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: So I would rather bet money and the guy that

218
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I've seen play at the college level then then risk

219
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: bringing a kid from the high school rank. So if

220
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: you are established though you're Georgia, are Alabama and you

221
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: can you can recruit these kids and get enough five

222
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: star guys. The thing that worries me because of the

223
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: one time transfer, because of the fact that the transfer

224
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: portal got crazy this year, most like it's gonna get

225
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: crazy and crazier every single year. Kids wanting to try

226
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: to test out the free market sea and which money

227
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: they can make with n I l see where they

228
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: can go play immediately. When it comes to just on

229
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: the football field, if you put together a top class

230
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: of twenty five elite athletes, how many of those guys,

231
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: if they don't play year one are going to hit

232
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: the portal the following year? Look at I think great

233
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: example was yesterday we talked about it. Top quarterback on

234
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: the Top Quarterbacks in America de commits from Oregon because

235
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: bo Nix is coming back because he wants to start

236
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: year one, goes to u C l A. So now,

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, why do I want to put

238
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: an effort to recruit kids that of them aren't gonna

239
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: be ready to play year one? Then after year one,

240
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: since they're not playing, those kids hit the portal? Do

241
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: I trust those kids instead of just going and building

242
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: my roster more consistently through the portal anyway, since these

243
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be leaving. It's just it's really tricky.

244
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: I think the biggest problem is these kids think they're

245
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: they're good enough to start day one, and kids are impatient.

246
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: They're not willing to sit for two or three years

247
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: and develop to build that consistency for a program. Yeah,

248
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: I look, I think that, um, I think that a

249
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: lot of that comes down to your team culture. Right now,

250
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: I know that Alabama has had a lot of people

251
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: enter the trails for portal and so it sounds weird.

252
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: But like you see like Will Anderson and Bryce Young

253
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: sticking around and playing there and Bryce Young basically saying

254
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: you have to say no, I mean, I did it

255
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,119
Speaker 1: because I just want to go out there with the boys,

256
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: like one more time out there with the boys. So

257
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: if you create like a instead of sounds like someone

258
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: very smart on this podcast maybe talked to him about that.

259
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I know,

260
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, it's incredible how right I am,

261
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Like like sometimes I get blown away with with how

262
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: right I tend to be. Uh So, I guess like

263
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: if a coach wants to bitch and moan about how

264
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: well I can't commit all this time to get in

265
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: these five stars, he was gonna leave after your well,

266
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: that is kind of on you at the end of

267
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: the day. And I'm not saying that you called them,

268
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: far from it. I say you weed them out, Like

269
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I want the five star who

270
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: leaves because he didn't play freshman year, like I want

271
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: proven guys and guys who are willing to stick through

272
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: the process and are willing to learn, and you can

273
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: get those to the transport. That's not exclusive to high

274
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: school recruits. But um, but look, I think you are

275
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: hitting on something, which is that all of us in

276
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: life we have finite resources, be it monetary, energy, mental capacity, whatever, right,

277
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: and so over time we're in a brand new era.

278
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: So everybody's still range finding on this stuff. The market

279
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: is still range finding stuff like over time. Yes, I

280
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: do think coaches will find a the the correct mix

281
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: of you know what, maybe we can pull back on

282
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: high school bit and we can rely on the transfer

283
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: port a bit more, or maybe teams who are superport

284
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: will have you. Right now, we'll have to do a

285
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: bit of the opposite. So I said earlier than I

286
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: think you have to have a top ten class right

287
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: in order to be playoff relevant venice points on the chat. No,

288
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: you don't. Tran support changes everything. TCU, USC, Washington, K State,

289
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: Oregon all did well in the portal. I mean, look,

290
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Michigan State made the playoff thanks to the transferportal just

291
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: two years ago. Now the issue is again new era,

292
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: new information, small sample sizes. I do wonder the thing that,

293
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: like I have seen it proven to be sustainable that

294
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: if you recruit great top five detain classes, it will

295
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: sustain you at being elite over time. Right, you've seen

296
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: that in Obama, Georgia or wherever. Um. I don't know

297
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: that I have seen that it's as easy to sustain

298
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: success going heavy trans reportal year and in year out.

299
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, Like I

300
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: think for Old miss it makes all the sense in

301
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: the world. I think you'll see USC probably do it again,

302
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: maybe dial back, but like look at Michigan State. It

303
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: worked incredible for one year. They lost a lot of

304
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: those kind of one year rentals and they had an

305
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: awful year. And so I wonder, like, how many teams

306
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: do we see take a step back or will I

307
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: be wrong in the end and will recruiting not matter

308
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: as much because you can consistently and sustainably built through

309
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: the portal. I don't know the answer. I'm I'm not

310
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: gonna see you lie y'all, like I'm not gonna pretend

311
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: to know the answers. I still think though, I mean,

312
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: look at Georgia, I still believe that the elite of

313
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: the elite will build the majority of the foundation through

314
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: high school and then fill in the corners through the portal.

315
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: But but you know, only time will tell, all right,

316
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna play a little little game with you

317
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: right now, T Bob, I'm gonna give you two examples.

318
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: You have twenty five You have twenty five spots to

319
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: fill your roster. I don't care how you break it up.

320
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: Transfer portal kids out of high school. Uh, first team

321
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Aubren Tigers. You're the head coach, You're you're you just

322
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: got hired. How are you gonna build your roster? Go? Well,

323
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: now you don't even have twenty spots right now. But

324
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: you say just for just just just just for the exercise.

325
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: I mean, no, you're gonna go first year. You're always

326
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna go portal heavy. But I don't know if that's

327
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. I feel like we're talking

328
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: because because if you're rebuilding the portal, look at Brian Kelly.

329
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: He he literally took disparate pieces from all over the country,

330
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: and one the this is why this is the answer?

331
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Though like at all, it's once again, it's want to

332
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: do it that way. Though he wouldn't want to do

333
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: it that way. It's by situation though, it's it is

334
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: by situation, like if you're in that kind of situation,

335
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: you have to hit the port That's all I want

336
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: to know. Like I was gonna compare them to to

337
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: say an l s U who now had the one

338
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: year of doing it, Now, what do they do going forward?

339
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: Do they focus more on the traditional routes since they

340
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: kind of filled in the pieces they felt like they

341
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: needed and year one like, well, they kind of. It's

342
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: just a springboard, that's all it is. It is a

343
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: springboard that closed the gap real quick. But I do

344
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: think for longevity's sake, the answer and I think you

345
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: both and I agree that the answer for building for

346
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: five to ten years, if you're lucky enough to get

347
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: past that and your tenure at university is still going

348
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: to be, like you said, bring in top recruits, pray

349
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: to God that they stay on campus, and then you

350
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: fill in the spots as you needed each year. If

351
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: you want to go with in the portal. Oh hello there, sir,

352
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: to clause here. I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas season.

353
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm busy up here in the North Pole, cobbling together

354
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: sweet toys for all the little girls and boys. But

355
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: I've employed one of my favorite people, a man who

356
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: used to live on the naughty less, but now he

357
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: is oh so nice. That's right, Santa Barkley is coming

358

Speaker 1: to town and he's delivering twity million dollars and gifts

Speaker 1: book and get in the holiday spirit with twenty million

371
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: dollars and gifts from Santa Barkley. Oh now, it does

372
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: get a bit interesting though, Like if I'm a school

373
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: like old miss where in Venice? Uh in the chat again,

374
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: says if I'm lower team, I'm going to the portal

375
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: every year. And I think Old Miss is a great

376
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: example of useless not just because Lane Kivitt has basically

377
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: committed the strategy, but think about this there and like

378
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: Ole Miss on the traditional recruiting trail, going after four

379
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: and five stars out of high school, Um, they're going

380
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to struggle in those traditional battles, UH, and they have you.

381
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: We we've improving over time. I think though, when you

382
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: allow guys to season, you know, to get a little

383
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: seasoning for a year two in college football, and you

384
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: can more clearly see, okay, who is actually good who

385
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: is maybe not? And then you have these elite raw

386
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: stirs like your Georgia and l s U and Alabama,

387
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: like those elite rosters, well, they're still building the majority

388
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: of the foundation through traditional recruiting where you are losing,

389
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: but that also means that they have less spots to fill.

390
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: And so yeah, maybe those big guys are still taking

391
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: a lot of the biggest names out of the portal.

392
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: But I do believe that it opens a very interesting

393
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: kind of mid level door for an Old Miss to

394
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: UH to get a a lot of the meat and

395
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: potatoes and the kind of bones and sinew of their

396
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: roster of guys who are maybe three stars to prove

397
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: to be way better in that on on some college

398
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: level or maybe some four stars that are coming from

399
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: It's it's interests. I guess I'm I'm being very long.

400
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of a thing that I've been thinking about

401
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot today, which is like, like, if you're a

402
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: mid level school, since you're not gonna win on the

403
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: traditional recruiting trail and the bigger schools, are they have

404
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: less spots, are you better suited to getting more guys

405
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: out of the portal and the big ones? Maybe? Maybe so?

406
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we we will, we will see what I do.

407
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: I will say this like, I think Old MS is

408
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: an outlier in this whole conversation because of Lane Kippen.

409
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: If kids aren't committing to Old Miss, they're committing to

410
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: get coached by Lane Kiffin. I think that's why he

411
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: had so much success in the portal because we all

412
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: know who Lane Kiffin is. He's a personality. He's like

413
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: we talked about with Dion, he has that maybe not

414
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: in person personality, but you know, he works his fingers

415
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: well when it comes to social media and Twitter and

416
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: and and staying relevant in a lot of people's minds.

417
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: Like they're committing, is that you have to take away

418
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: you take away what I'm saying that you take If

419
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: you take away Lane Kiffing from Old Miss, l Miss

420
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: does not have that kind of success in the portal.

421
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: So it's I think it's more of who the coach

422
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: is at those like smaller schools will also dictate what

423
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: type of guys you can get in the portal as well.

424
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: I guess I don't think I'm gonna go to Old

425
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Miss instead of Alabama. No, no, No, They're gonna go

426
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: there because they know Lane Kiffins there, especially the other

427
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: side of the football going there, we are in agreement.

428
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: And I guess when I hear that, I think of

429
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: the coach in the school as being interchangeable, right Like, um,

430
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: people aren't committing to South Carolina, They're committing to Shane Biemer.

431
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's the same type of deal. So yes,

432
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you there, um where if

433
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: you're not a school that's just a draw in and

434
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: of itself. That yeah, the coach it matters just as much,

435
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: if not more even more that's cool. Whatever. Uh so

436
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: we'll we'll what we'll see. I'm fascinating again. Rare is

437
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: the time in life when you get to watch the

438
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: literal birthplace of a new market and I'm fascinated see

439
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: Adam Smith's kind of guiding hand. Where this is all

440
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: going to go over the next couple of years. I

441
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: mean already, well, I don't want to talk about this

442
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: just freestyle because I want to have some hard numbers

443
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: to give you all. But already the transfer portal numbers

444
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: were vastly different than last year, where you saw a

445
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: ton more guys leave and um, you know, a ton

446
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: of guys end up without teams. You saw lower numbers

447
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: this year. But we'll see where it shakes out by

448
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: the end. Aaron, do you want to talk about some

449
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: of these top classes in the country again? Not really,

450
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to approach this from I'm not gonna

451
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: tell you about any recruits. I can't tell you about it.

452
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you a single thing about a single recruit.

453
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: But we can look at team rankings, look at the future,

454
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: and maybe look at some of the value to be

455
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: gained there in Brum did you want to hop in

456
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: I heard you open your mic first, Aeron is just

457
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: Mike f up. Okay, It's just it's just very much

458
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: not working. So I was about to jump in, and

459
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron couldn't talk. You know, Walker Dog says, well,

460
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: wasn't dang transfer pearl windows so large? Should only be

461
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks tops. Well, um m hmm, I don't.

462
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: We're alive, hey, Bud, Yeah, I liked I like you

463
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: a lot better when your mic wasn't work. Ha ha. Yes,

464
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: let's let's let's get to the top five. T Bob.

465
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: Come on, let's break it down a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

466
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: let's start with uh so, look, no doubt speaking of

467
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: sample size, we have a two year sample size of

468
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: a slip in Alabama. Now, slipping is relative, but you've

469
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: seen a lot of close games, much more than you're

470
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: used to. I think I think I read a stat

471
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago where it was like twenty five

472
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: of the one score games in the Nick Saban era

473
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: have come from the last two years, right, so so

474
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: the games have been now. Now, again, slipping is relative

475
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: because in Alabama team that's what lost what three games

476
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: over the last two years, maybe four games? I can't

477
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: remember exactly think four. I think four because Jimbo last

478
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: year and then too this year, right um, and then

479
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: the Natty so four games the last two years. Again,

480
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: it's all relative, but there's ample argument it to be

481
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: made that maybe the Empire showing its cracks. That said,

482
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: I will never doubt Nick Saban, like, I'll never believe

483
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: that there's a body if it when it comes to

484
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: Nick Saban unless you show me the still no longer

485
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: beating corpse, right like. And so when I look at

486
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the Alabama dynasty and then I I look at these

487
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: recruiting rankings and I see that Alabama's number one again

488
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: on every single major recruiting UH source to be at

489
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: two four seven on three rivals whatever, and I and

490
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: I get asked the question, is the Alabama I see dead?

491
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: Will they win on a net? I mean, what are

492
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: we talking about here? They just reloaded, they just I mean,

493
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: they're they're they're number one again. No, I'm not going

494
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: to declare Alabama and Nick Saban dead and then declare

495
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: them motivated. Now, maybe they have their greatest challenger and

496
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and Georgia. I mean, you know, Disney loves

497
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: to do this in their Marvel films and TV shows.

498
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, who's the good guy. Let's just create

499
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: a bad guy version of them and have them fight.

500
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Basically that is playing out right now in the SEC

501
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: which saving to Kirby Smart. So yeah, maybe they have

502
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: their greatest challenger, but Alabama's not going anywhere. Dude, They're

503
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I mean he will be because we

504
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: all know you either what you live long enough? What

505
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: is it you? You either die a hero or you

506
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: live long enough to become the villain. I cheered for

507
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Georgia when they first beat Alabama. George is about to

508
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: transition into villain territory. But no, I mean Nick sabansz Emper.

509
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: Of of course he's the bad guy here. All I'm

510
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: saying is they are um two sides of the same

511
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: coin right there, Joker to the Batman, like they are

512
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: intrinsically linked. And yeah, Georgia may be their greatest challenger,

513
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: but Alabama ain't going anywhere. And guess what now in

514
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: four Alabama's gonna get in the playoffs every single year,

515
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: every year, so you're gonna have to They're gonna be

516
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: a hard out from here on out. I mean, Aaron,

517
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: you were very afraid of Alabama gain in this year.

518
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: You were like shaking a little bit, tweeted about a

519
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: shaky fingers swept pouring down your face. How are you

520
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: going to handle it when all of a sudden the

521
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: tighter in there every single year? Yeah, and I'm probably

522
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: not gonna sleep for the entire time that the plants

523
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: are going on most likely. Yeah, it's just freaking out tea. Um.

524
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: I will say this, like we talk about like what

525
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: what is certain teams need heading into next season. I

526
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: think the big things they need a quarterback. Like you're

527
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: losing Bryce, You're losing the best quarterback that that that

528
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: he's had in his tenure. There's the head coach of Alabama.

529
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: Who are you going to replace him with? Is not

530
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: going to be the question for Alabama? Is that? Jalen Milroe?

531
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: Do you if you're an Alabama fan, do you feel confident?

532
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: Janen Milrow? No, Bro, I mean are you are you?

533
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: Are you confident? Are you confident? Ye? Smith? Guys really

534
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: played a lot um the portal right now. I really

535
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: even heard a lot of news about certain quarterbacks are

536
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the portal, which I still don't think

537
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: are good enough to take them over the edge to

538
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: to to them looking even looking at Alabam right now.

539
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: Plus they just lost a bunch of receivers in the portal,

540
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: So that being said, you're too issues that you had

541
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: this year. So like you use recruiting, just like use

542
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: the report the portal to fill in the areas that

543
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: you need to focus on. Those areas right now, the

544
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: two biggest areas that Alabama is going to need help

545
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: with next season is the quarterback spot, which they have

546
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: one quarterback in there right now, four star kid Um

547
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: out of out of Louisiana. Actually, I don't know if

548
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, we're not Holstein, uh, four star Kade. And

549
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: they got some good They got some receivers in the

550
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: and and in the class as well. But to me

551
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: it's great in all, but their biggest need at quarterback

552
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: is still as of right now not filled in heading

553
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: into next season. And if you don't have a quarterback,

554
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: as we know, it's gonna be the same old thing

555
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: as we saw this year, if not maybe even worse

556
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: than they had this year. Well, you can't say same

557
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: old thing is this year because this year they had

558
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: the best quarterback and everywhere else in the sense of

559
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs. I mean, like you're going to

560
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: get a good not great Alabama football team maybe, but

561
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: in a world where I'm seeing Jalen Hurts and I'll

562
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: make himself into an NFL m v P Taysom Hill

563
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: do some interors and things with the Saints, Like I

564
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: don't know, man, there's a little off meta zig to

565
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: the zag. If they would go Jalen mill Roe, be like, okay,

566
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: we're not spreading out, Like like like, get Dan Mullen

567
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: on the phone, the man who could create an offense

568
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: to make uh, Tim Tebow and and Dak Prescott these

569
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: elite passer throwers, and then he could do a pocket

570
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: passer when he had to, Like I'll be I don't

571
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: know if Bill O'Brien is capable, but but I'll be

572
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: very interested to see if you do go with someone

573
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: like mil Row. Can you, um, can you create a

574
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: successful rushing quarterback offense? Because I think you can. I

575
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: think in a day and age when everybody is preparing

576
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: to stop the spread, there's probably some value to be

577
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: gained by going a little bigger, going more run bay

578
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: And again, I do think you're seeing that in the

579
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of NFL meta right now, which granted is far

580
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: different than the college football metas. So I guess the

581
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: overall point here, though, Aaron is the rumors of Alabama's

582
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: death have been greatly exaggerated. When I look up and

583
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: I see this and somebody who was saying today in

584
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: the chat that they're about to add like the number

585
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: one offensive tackle, like the number one outside linebacker, I think,

586
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: like to five star dts, like it's only gonna get

587
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: better even than the class looks right now. So UM

588
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: doubt doubt saving in Alabama at your own Did they beat?

589
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: The question is I've heard a lot of people we

590
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: talked about A and M last year. I'm just looking

591
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: at two four seven and m's total points three thirty

592
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: three point one three uh Matt Jones quarterbacks. With those

593
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: additions Alabama based on two four sevens, I don't know

594
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: if it's is two four based on their numbers, I'll

595
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: be able and may have a better recruiting class this

596
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 1: year than that Anna did last year. Obviously didn't work

597
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: out for a M. But I do trust Nick Saban

598
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: well well culture infinitely more. But also I I do

599
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: I wonder and not being a recruiting guy. Maybe I'm

600
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: wrong here. I do wonder if that's because you can

601
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: go over the twenty five now, because already there are

602
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: twenty four, right, and so they would add those like

603
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: like even el shoes already. Dude, Brian Kelly says he's

604
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: expecting to sign mid to high thirties when it's all

605
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: and M signed thirty kids last year. Okay, never mind,

606
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: so they signed thirty okay, never mind them? Wow, okay, okay,

607
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: so what so what are we talking about? What are

608
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: we talking about? We just we just got on our

609
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: knees for A and M for an entire preseason because

610
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: they signed the number one class all time, And now

611
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Nick Saban just gonna cut him a year later and

612
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: just beat him and we're not even talking about it,

613
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: like that's what I'm talking about. Familiarity breeds contempt, okay.

614
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: And we're also use to Nick Saban whooping so much

615
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: ass that it just doesn't hit the same. But he's

616
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: still whooping ass, okay, versus Kirby. Kirby can't get the

617
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: best class of all time, must be slipping, dude. Look, look,

618
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm just going by facts, Okay. Are they number one

00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: or not? Not when I look right here, So I

620
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. You tell me Aaron Murray

00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: Kirby slipping streets. You're talking, Yeah, you know who's not

622
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: slipping though? Number three? Right now, your boy there in Miami,

623
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: he's not slipping T Bob like he's he's out there

624
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: wheeling and deal and spend that money. Got three five

625
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: star kids right now, they've got some port Win a

626
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: single game. Don't lose to Middle Tennessee at home. Uh

627
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: and get your ass kicked by Middle It was year one.

628
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: It was year one. Get the dude to break come home?

629
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Are you f I can't? Are you mess with me

630
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm playing checkers against Herman Merman here?

631
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Are you fucking with me? Kid? Are you judging him?

632
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: You're judging him on his first year at Miami tea.

633
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: Give the dude a year to at least figure it out,

634
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: like you're just saying that's a trash coach because he

635
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: couldn't win in year what I come on, let him

636
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: it is out the thing. He's weeding out the bad,

637
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: cutting the cancer. He's killing it in the portal. He's

638
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: killing in the recruiting class. Bring those kids and then

639
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: I get that big donor dude to start throwing out

640
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: some hundreds, and uh, Miami is gonna be back, like

641
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: Floor Estate was this year. Weeding out the bead is

642
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: just so incredibly convenient. When Miami went seven and five

643
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: the year before he got there, and then went five

644
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: and seven when they had a better team, like when

645
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: they had more talent. Did he did? You're right? He no, No,

646
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: he didn't weed out the bad, Aaron, he weeded out

647
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the good out of Tyler Bank. Tyler wasn't all yeah,

648
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: yes he was. Okay, I get I get here before,

649
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: but you go actually go, like watch him play the

650
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: game of football. He's not don't don't watch watch Yeah,

651
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: but all youth football bros, all you TV guys love

652
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: to hit. You have watched the tape like it's the

653
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: ace of spades, like it's out here in your back pocket,

654
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: just ready to throw down at any time. Work watch

655
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: the fun not it's it's a it's a great double

656
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: level of condescent because it's one I prepare horror than you,

657
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: and I know more than it's such a dude with

658
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: without I know, no, I up because here's the thing. Here,

659
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: here's the thing you do watch way more tape than

660
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: I do. You do know the game of football way

661
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: better than I do, so, Mr Big Brain. So, Mr

662
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: Big Brain explained to me, what is the tape telling

663
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: you when in one this and through for two hundred

664
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: ninety three yards a game, twenty five touchdowns, six interception,

665
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: nine yards per attempt this year two hundred four yards

666
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: per game. For those keeping track at home, that's a

667
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: hundred yards last per um, seven yards per attempt. That's

668
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: two less yards per attempt, ten touchdowns under half, five interceptions,

669
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: nearly the same, so Ared, tell me what did the

670
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: tape reveal? What genius coaching was Mario christin ball better

671
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: doing to literally make Tyler Van Dyke half of the

672
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: quarterback that he was in you act like as a

673
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: as a as a player. That is just that easy

674
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: to pick up a brand new playbook and go out

675
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: there and duplicate what you did the year before. There's

676
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: going to be a learning curve. There's a cultural learning

677
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: curve going on. There's also a mental side of the game,

678
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: understand the xs and os and being able to play

679
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: at a very elite level high speed. Last night, great example.

680
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: Last night, I'm watching season two of the Formula one

681
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: racing and one of the guys left, one of the

682
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: top guys in formulation. And the guy that was racing

683
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: for Red Bull your season one one of the top

684
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: guys out there. He Ricardo or very stopping. I don't know.

685
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: I think Ricardo. He leaves to go to he leaves

686
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: to go to UM the yellow team. I'm drawing up

687
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: like other name charts than r whatever, let's keep bringing

688
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: down Formula One. I think this all goes together. He's racing. Analogy, son,

689
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: you got to tighten up this analogy to hit him.

690
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: He leaves Red Bull, he goes to a new to

691
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: new team. He's racing. He's racing like crap to start

692
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: the season off. And when he says like the car

693
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: drives differently, the brakes are different, the shifting is different,

694
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: the steering, everything in this car is different. I'm not

695
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: used to it, and it's it's showing right now on

696
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: the racetrack. It's the same thing. It's a brand new playbook.

697
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: You can't just go out there and play a hunt

698
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: in my else power when you get a whole new

699
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: gear shifting going on, T Bob. Yes, it's going to

700
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: be a learning curp yes, do pretty good. I mean,

701
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: who are you talking about? There's there are so many

702
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: different examples of brand new coaches having great success with

703
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: their first year quarterbacks. Hell Bo nixes everything. I'm not

704
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: saying it's impossible. I'm just saying, like, it's not like

705
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: it's not magic. Okay, not everyone's Mario do it. It's

706
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: my same problem with Venables Miami. It's not a Mario problem.

707
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not as Van Dyke problem. Well, guess what

708
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: this is college football? Okay, and ship rolls downhill uphill.

709
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: The point is, as the head coach, you're the god. Right,

710
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: you have control of your little fief. You say jump,

711
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: everybody says how high. Well, as a coach, you're culpable. Okay.

712
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: If you have a roster that is more talented than

713
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: the majority of your peers, which Miami is, and we'll

714
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: end up with more NFL players, you should not get

715
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: your ass kicked by your peers. And middle Tennese is

716
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: just kind of your pere. That's It's like my problem

717
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: with Brent Vinables. They had a top ten roster in

718
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: the country talent wise, so you can give me all

719
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: the middle gymnastics about oh he needs your too, and

720
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: maybe you end up being right. But to me, what

721
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: these cats are gonna do. They're gonna be your classic

722
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: eight and four. They're gonna put maybe one ten and

723
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: three season together wherever He's be like, Oh, they're on

724
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: the edge and they're gonna take a major step back.

725
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe that Venables are crystal Ball will ever

726
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: bring these two fan bases where they want to be.

727
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: And this Miami recruiting is a giant fraud. Miami as

728
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: a whole are frauds. No one wants to go to

729
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium in a hundred degree weather an hour

730
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: away from campus. It's it's I won't believe it when

731
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: you're going to more. Miami's a fraud. And I think

732
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: that's the problem, like it's it's it's too Ball is

733
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: a fraud, and not that my Miami can be good,

734
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: Martin christ Ball is not the one to fix it.

735
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: Is anyone good enough to fix it? That? I think

736
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: that's the bigger question, like is anyone good enough to

737
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: fix Miami? Um is it? Or is Miami fix a bull?

738
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: I guess is the right question because I think, I mean,

739
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit like I think they're

740
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: like a bit of a U c L A situation.

741
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: I think one of the main things you need to

742
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: do would be change the stadium up. I would say, like,

743
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: go more intimate, bring it close to campus. Uh, because

744
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: it's a small student body, right, Like there's not a

745
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of it. It's private school. I mean, I will

746
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: say this, Uh, it would be super tight to make

747
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: millions of dollars and live in Miami in college. But

748
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: that's probably also a little bit of the problem. Right,

749
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna have trouble keeping everybody in line with millions

750
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: of dollars in South Beach at Miami. All I'm saying

751
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: is win something, Mario crystal Ball a single thing. You listen,

752
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: you know who's not a fraud? I do, I do.

753
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: I need think they're good. I think I think they're

754
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: going to be in a position. Sorry, we'll leave Miamulona

755
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: for this. I think similar similar to Jimbo, you are

756
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: now putting yourself in a situation where in two years

757
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: from now, Jim obviously with how much money they're paying,

758
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: they can't get rid of them. But Marito is putting

759
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: himself in a situation for two years from now there

760
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: will be no excuses like give them one more year.

761
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: But in two years, you've you've hit the transferportal. You

762
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: you have a top five class that will be their

763
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: second year on campus, and two years it's making a

764
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: break it for him, honestly, and to be fair to

765
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: Chris Wall, he did win a Rose Bowl at Oregon

766
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: and finish number five is the best season ever had.

767
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Uh brom, are you ready? And I know that I

768
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: argue againstin some Matt rule all the time. So if

769
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit here and accuse me being the hypocrite,

770
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: you can hypocrite these nuts, uh brom? Are you ready?

771
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: What do y'all? What do you all think mark Chris

772
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Wall's overall record is in his career? Okay, we've we've

773
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: been over this tea, Bob. He was at some pretty

774
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: bad places. So like it wasn't school Florida National, and

775
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit one eleven year one, So take

776
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: it out there, take that out. Take that out. Okay,

777
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: I'll take that out. He's sixth. Okay, with it in,

778
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: he's sixty seven and sixty seven and even five hundred.

779
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: Guess what sixty six and uh fifty six is no better? Okay,

780
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: that's not any good. And then he goes to five

781
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: and seven in Florida National, than three and nine at

782
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: six and five, three and nine. His last year Florida International,

783
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: he fell back to three and nine, and then he

784
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: got the Oregon job. The dude is good looking, charismatic,

785
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: and he must fucking murder an interview. Okay, he must

786
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: murder an interview. But there's a lot of red flags

787
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing on this resume right here. I'm gonna

788
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: start calling him Luigi Cristal Ball until he proves it. Okay,

789
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: just a perfect coaches walking around. There's just a bunch

790
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: of perfect coaches walking around ready to to take over

791
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: the Miami job. We look at we were we were.

792
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: I was at least hyping up Lane Kiff and to

793
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: go take the Auburn job. He has a crazy history too,

794
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: of both on the field and off the field. Shenaniganst

795
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: for goodness six. There is no perfect coaching candidate. If

796
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: there is, we're at Georgia Alabama, l s U. That's it.

797
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: You replaced him with Manny. He replaced Manny Diaz mar Crystaval.

798
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Manny Diaz had a better year one in Miami. Then

799
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: did Chris wall. He went six and seven to five

800
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: and seven. Uh, he went eight and three the following

801
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: year seven and five and then was fired. Let's see

802
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: if Chrystal Ball could do better. I want to go

813
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: It's like a very old man thing to do. I

814
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: was like, how does this Instagram work? I guess I'll

820
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: merch soon. Okay, So we talked about we stumbled into

821
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: a Miami argument. We skipped over Georgia. Aaron, uh, I

822
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: bet you it's a pretty good class. Well what are

823
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: what are the George of It's a damn good class.

824
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: That's it. I mean it's it's a really good class.

825
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: I think Georgia. And they're not losing a lot. Like

826
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like we've seen now two years in

827
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: a row, minimal guys leaving. So Kirby, like you and

828
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: I both want rosters to be built, doesn't have to

829
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 1: go out there and and get a bunch of guys

830
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: in the portal. He can continue just to have top two,

831
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: top three classes, continue to develop that talent, keep them

832
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: in Athens where they don't need to leave, and then

833
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden those guys are ready to emerge.

834
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean, look at look at this years. I think

835
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: perfect example, especially if you're a defensive guy. Kirby last

836
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: six guys to the NFL Draft, what five guys in

837
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: the first round, six in the first round, whatever it was,

838
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: and replaced them with a bunch of hungry, asked dogs

839
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: ready to take over and produce one of the best

840
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: defenses once again. This season only get up eleven points

841
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: per game. That's the pitch. Hey, I can make you

842
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: a first rounder. You give me two years, you'll be

843
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: a starter. You'll be part of the best defense in America.

844
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: Once again, you don't just patience. Patience, patience. That's the

845
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: first thing he's telling every every top recruits as he

846
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: goes in there. When you get your time, you will

847
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: be a member of the one of the best defenses

848
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: in the country. So it's a perfect example of of weight.

849
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: You turn good guy, and good things will happen. Yeah, uh,

850
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. I can't wait till loose the Natty and

851
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: everybody trances out because Michigan and Hardball whooped that ass.

852
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Or maybe we'll be Ohio State. Who are you more

853
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: scared of Oise Michigan? Oh how State? Yeah? Yeah, that

854
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: makes sense, that makes sense. No, I mean, look, George

855
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: is kind of in the Alabama boat though, where it

856
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: is kind of laughable. At this point, you just know

857
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna be first, second, or third in recruiting every

858
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: single year. Don't think twice about it. As a Georgia fan,

859
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: you must just sleep so soundly at night when you

860
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: lay your head on your pillow, and you know you

861
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything, and you're about to restock

862
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: with a full class of NFL guys, even though by

863
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: far the best class the country is number five. L

864
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: s U. Okay, I'm a recruiting expert. Okay, I don't

865
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: know what the hell these websites are thinking. I look

866
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: at else Hues class should be eight five stars at

867
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: least I've watched all the high school tape. Okay, nobody

868
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: has watched more teen boys than I have this year.

869
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: And my takeaway as an expert is that else you

870
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: should be number one. Pathetic they're not. Also number four Texas,

871
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: how about you win something as well. I'm a higher

872
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: on start. I'm higher on Stark than it maybe it

873
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: was at the beginning of the year, and I'm giving

874
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: him a bit more benefit out than I am a

875
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: Jimbo or Mario or Adventables. But this is a big

876
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: year for him, like Texas. Texas has to do good

877
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: next year, right he was fourteen team Big twelve. You

878
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: know what's interesting what I say? Your your your tigers

879
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 1: over here? Uh yeah, one second, seven h eight nine.

880
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: Only nine kids from the St. Louisian in on this

881
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: this and they have kids committed. Has done a good

882
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: job of getting kids from everywhere. I see a lot

883
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: of I see a lot of Texas, I say, California.

884
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: I've seen some guys from Georgia. Um, because I always think, like,

885
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, Louisiana is one of those states, W like,

886
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: you really don't have to leave the state as much

887
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: to have success or build a really good roster. But

888
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's got a bunch of dudes from

889
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: all over the damn place. I'm a little bit surprised

890
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: by seeing this. He's got four or five, four or

891
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: five guys from from the state of Georgia that he's

892
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: been able to sweep away from from Kirby, Yeah, it's uh,

893
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: it's it's been interesting. He I feel like it's his

894
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame background coming through right, Like when you're at

895
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, that's what you have to do, you have

896
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: to go around the country, and so it's kind of

897
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: what he's used to. I think he enjoys the fact

898
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: that he has much more homegrown talent what he has done. Though.

899
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: Aaron is um, they target Louisiana guys in the portal

900
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: above all else, like above all, I think maybe it's

901
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: partly because they think when these guys get back home

902
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: that maybe they'll be in a better environment and they

903
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: can fulfill some of that original town they showed. But

904
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: like they just got Aaron Anderson, the receiver from Alabama,

905
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: former five star top forty guy who l s U

906
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: was probably the worst returning team in the country this year.

907
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Anderson looks like he could immediately maybe help out in

908
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: that regard. Well, see, it's like I said, though I

909
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: don't really I'm I'm just joking about L class. I mean,

910
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: it's really good class to your top five. That's all

911
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: I care about. Be in the top ten, be in

912
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: the top ten, and then let your coaching take over

913
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: within that. Now, I do think even within the top

914
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: ten there's tears. And obviously George and Alabama have separated

915
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: by the fact that they're always like one or two

916
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: every single year. Like, sure, you get a and m

917
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: flashing last year, you get Miami flashing this year, but

918
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: do it every year, year in and year out, and

919
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: that's when you get to join, um the big boys.

920
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: Uh Aaron is arch going to lead Texas to a

921
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: big twelveth championship next year? Uhh No, he not next year.

922
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: Definitely not next year for for a good old arch Manning.

923
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 1: I do think the way that that Texas played toush

924
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: on offense down the stretch, I do think that competition

925
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden is a little bit more open

926
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: than then maybe what we were thinking earlier in the

927
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: season with with some of the performances we saw. So

928
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: I think he'll be given every opportunity to to to

929
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: earn the starting position. He's obviously gonna have to go

930
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: out there and earn it, but like listen, he's he's

931
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: helped put together a number four ranked class as of

932
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: right now. Like that's that's like, that's why you know,

933
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: I remember when when I was getting recruited, like coaches

934
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: were pushing me very hard, Hey, can you commit early

935
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: because there's a bunch of receivers and running backs an

936
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: offensive linement that we want to get that are kind

937
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: of waiting to see who the quarterback in their class

938
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: is going to be. Arch committed early. It's given Texas

939
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: the ability to go out there and recruit top guys

940
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: at the skill position and really build the excitement around

941
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: this class. And then you know, to like you build

942
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: the excitement around the class, the fan base gets excited,

943
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: and I held money starts going up even more and

944
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: more and more and more. It's it's it's kind of

945
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: a snowball effect. Once you get that quarterback commit, regardless

946
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: if he's good or not, at least you're getting out

947
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: other pieces around him because of him. So thirteen minutes ago,

948
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 1: Devin Leary tweeting it is official, Devin Leary going to Kentucky. Uh,

949
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: big gift for the Wildcats. I cannot wait to watch

950
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: Leary throw for yards, twenty touchdowns and eight picks next year.

951
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: Exciting stuff, Fair Murray. Hell yeah, it's a good bits

952
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: for both parties. Yeah, yes, yes, it's just it fits.

953
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: I said this on AMP. We're talking about quarterbacks in

954
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: the portal. Uh, it was, it was. It's a good marriage.

955
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: It's too. It's a quarterback that fits the system. It's

956
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: a team that that obviously wants a quarterback to his

957
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: skill sets. But like, you ain't gonna win an award,

958
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: jen gonna win a championship. You're not gonna throw up

959
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: a stupid sexy stats like but if you can humble yourself,

960
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: say hey man, this is the quarterback before me. Will

961
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: Levis didn't put up any kind of stats, and right

962
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: now is projected as a top six pick in the

963
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. So at the end of the day, that's

964
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: the goal, you know. But also that's just because Will

965
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Levis is big and the NFL draft loves giant white

966
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: like it's like your favorite thing of all time. What

967
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying is it didn't hinder him from getting drafted

968
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: in top so fair, fair, fair, yes, very true. Yes. Um.

969
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: I would love to end this show giving a shout

970
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: out to maybe the most underrated Christmas song, and that

971
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: is good King WinCE Slass. Uh. People rarely talk about it,

972
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: but once you get stuck in your head, it's impossible

973
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: to get out. So it cheers to you, win to Slass,
