1
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: November November, it already feels like it's been a long time,

2
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: longest month of the college football year. It's just the

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: longest month of the year period. If you don't believe me,

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: ask some of these teams that started to breathe that

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: area yesterday. Do you notice in the acc how it

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden got a lot more difficult. Do

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: you notice Oregon? Do you notice Indiana having to go

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: down to the wire. It's a beautiful, beautiful time of

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: the year. Actually, it sucks outside right now. It feels

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: terrible in Nashville. We're jam packed high top of cold, windy, frigid,

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: gray downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on the Sunday night, November ninth,

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. But that's okay,

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: that's okay. Number one, because we're blessed enough to have

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: a roof over our studio. And number two, we've got

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: full week eleven reaction. We could be here five hours tonight.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: We probably won't be, but we could be. Mike Norvel

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: as of this moment, check my phone still the head

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: coach at Florida State. Somewhat surprising to me relative to

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: the text, I was getting when I woke up this morning.

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that a little bit later. We got

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: all these games to react to. I would say the

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: moment of the year so far happened in Indiana Penn

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: State yesterday. Unbelievable. We were in Lubbock yesterday. Some are

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: saying in the Pate State Contingent that it was our

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: best trip of the season. Lofty, because we've been at

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the biggest games all year. We got an ap pole out.

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: We're going to react to that. I've got a slight

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: tweak that I need to make to my playoff predictions.

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: It's seeding, it's matchups. It's perhaps a new national championship matchup.

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Sound like more than tweaks, Jesse. I don't know. We're

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: going to do it tonight. And if you're the kind

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: of person who likes to get stuff, we're giving people

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: here at Pate State. But if you like getting stuff

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: every now and then, this is the show for you.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: This specific tonight's show is the show for you. They're

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: watching us in Brunswick, Georgia, Cyprus, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Knoxville, Tennessee.

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I stated a statistic on the show the other day,

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: and I was right about it. I double checked I

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: was right about it. Fifty one percent of our viewers

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: are unsubscribed. I'm not gonna beg maybe just a little

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: bit check and see if you're subscribed. If you're not

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: subscribed to the channel, why, Josh, it doesn't change anything

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: for me. I know that it changes things for us,

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: and the show is flying right now, so we're in

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: no danger here. We just want to get to five

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: hundred subs by the time December rolls around, preferably before Thanksgiving,

47
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: so we can eat in peace. And you can't really

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: eat in peace if you don't have five hundred thousand

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: subs on your YouTube channel. So please, please, If don't

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: do it for me, do it for Bradley and Jesse

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and pres and Mitchell out there. They're freezing in the truck.

52
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: It's like forty degrees in the truck out there, and

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: couldn't be me, guys. Feels great in here, but yeah,

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: like I want to get those guys a space heater.

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to do that on a shoe

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: string budget, which would change if we had five hundred

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: thousand sobs. So look, keep them warm, take the mittens

58
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: off Bradley's fingers. He can barely press the buttons right now.

59
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: In all series, please subscribe to the channel. Okay, let's

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: dive into the show tonight. It is my duty to

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: inform you Big twelve Paate is back, fueled by quick trip.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: We went to Lubbock yesterday. We were there, we were

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: on hand, and it wasn't really much of a game.

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: So we have to begin with the bad news. Is

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: this bad news? Joey MacGuire says, it's not one point

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: five Chali on Texas Tech over BYU twenty nine to seven.

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I go to a game every week. We roll to

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: a game every week. The Fault Live Tour has been

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: all over the country. This week we will be somewhere

70
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: this week. This was an unbelievable trip. Savannah State there

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: pictured to my left. We're walking on the field. She's

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: with me for a lot of these games. Friend of

73
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: the program, Rhys Davis there to Columbus Georgia Natives. Might

74
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I add anyway I can confirm to you tonight. Savannah

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: State has placed this number one on her power ratings,

76
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: not rankings, power ratings for trips that we've been on.

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: And she's been by my side for a lot of these.

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: Now you may be thinking to yourself, that sounds like that,

79
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: sounds like a real bait and switchway of getting around

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: how you thought about it. It's way up there for

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: me too. Now. A lot of people hate on West Texas.

82
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: Some of you have never been there, and to that,

83
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: I say, I get it. I grew up in rural Georgia,

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: so Lubbock might as well be on the moon to me.

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I took one youth mission trip there only time I've

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: ever been on a Greyhound bus, and we drove from Columbus,

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Georgia to Lubbock and back. But I hadn't been out

88
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: there since like the early two thousands, and many of

89
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: the national media types had neither, apparently because everyone's eyes

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: were wide now. We were there in the spring. I

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: went out there in the sp and hung out for

92
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: a couple of days, so I know how those facilities look.

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: But I was listening to a lot of the national

94
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: media guys who were in town, like Nick Saban, he

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: hadn't been to Lubbock. A lot of the ESPN guys,

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: they're there for the first time in a couple of decades.

97
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: So I said some stuff in the spring, and people

98
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: didn't believe me, And now I'm hearing a lot of

99
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: them echo the same sentiment. And here's the sentiment. Texas

100
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: Tech has the best facilities in the country, but no

101
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: one believes it because no one can picture in their

102
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: mind that there's something about college football in Lubbock, Texas

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: that trump's anything that could exist in Athens, Georgia, or Austin, Texas,

104
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: or Columbus, Ohio, or Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It's fine if you

105
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: think that, I'm just telling you you're kind of wrong

106
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: because they've invested, or have they invested, And people say

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: that pejoratively, like, oh, Texas Tech only has what they

108
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: have because they spend a lot of money as opposed

109
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: to how they do it where else. So, yeah, they've invested.

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I said in spring, and I'm gonna say again, it's

111
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: like being in a great, big high school football town.

112
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Texas is long been known for high school football. There

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: are some towns in South Georgia Lowndes County, for example,

114
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: Thomas County Central, the place is down in South Georgia

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: where I'm from, that are known for high school football.

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Well in Texas is like that. Lubbock is kind of

117
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: like that except on steroids. So take what it's like.

118
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: The community, like, the communal feel, the all in nature

119
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: that everyone pitching in, all the gas stations closed down

120
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: in the town on Friday night. When you're playing a

121
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: high school football game, it's like that, but so much

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: bigger in scale because it's college football and there are

123
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: billionaires involved and the play seats like sixty thousand people,

124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: So it's different in that sense, and it's been broadcast

125
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: on national TV. I don't know how to wantch to

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: explain it, but the vibe around Texas Tech football is

127
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: like if you took all the best aspects of big

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: time high school football and then turn the volume up

129
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: to one hundred. That's how Texas Tech feels. It feels

130
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: different than any other place in college football. I think

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: you would have to go there to know what I

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: mean by that. So that was one thing. The other

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: thing is everyone was there, My homes was back. You

134
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: had all the big names associated with Texas Tech. You

135
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: had all the big names associated with just like college football.

136
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: You had game day there, Faull, Don't Lie Tour there,

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Tomato Tomato, you know, and then they put on a

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: show on the field, which is the only thing I

139
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: was kind of worried about going into it was sometimes

140
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: you get all this noise around a program, and if

141
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: it's if it's Ohio State, they're used to it. So

142
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they just perform, you know, and the game plays out

143
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: the way the game would play out, no matter if

144
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: you were or weren't in town. But this is abnormal

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: for Texas Tech. Now they've been building towards it. They've

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: been very intentional about it. They had this on their radar,

147
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: but it was new, like a lot of those people

148
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: were in the spotlight, the programs in the spotlight nationally

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time. And here's

150
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: what I can say. They dominated the game and left

151
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: so much on the field. Which was my biggest takeaway

152
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: standing on the field watching the game, was you know,

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: it's the most academic game that I think we saw yesterday.

154
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: It was the most academic game breakdown we did all

155
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: of last week. Remember this, Jesse. We sometimes sit around

156
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays, We'll sit in our production room and we'll

157
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: toss some ideas back and forth, like what do we

158
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: think this game is going to hinge on? And sometimes

159
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: you can go back and forth for two hours on

160
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: a game. This one took like ten minutes and I

161
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: still have the points written down. We basically said, Brigham

162
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Young has a couple of non negotiables in this game.

163
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: They need to win the turnover battle like they did

164
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: against Diowa State, like they did against Utah. They finished

165
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: minus three yesterday, So there's paper popper number one and

166
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: number two. They needed to be able to scale their

167
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: rushing offense because they had been good, They've been number

168
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: fifteen in the country all year, but they were facing

169
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: something the likes of which they had never seen before.

170
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: They were facing the number one run defense in the

171
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: country and two point five yards per carry. Yesterday they

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: trailed the entire game. So a lot of people like

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: to poke my argument a part last week because I

174
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: said a couple of times, and I stood by everything

175
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: I said. I said, Brigham Young has not had to

176
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: be put in a position where they have to throw

177
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: the ball to come from behind and win a game.

178
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: The way I kind of said it made it sound

179
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: like I was saying they haven't trailed in a game

180
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: all year. Well, they're trailed in games, So I kind

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: of misspoke. So on that part, I take it back,

182
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: But the sentiment like regardless of the semantics, the sentiment was,

183
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: I highly doubt that this Brigham Young team can get

184
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: behind in a position where they have to throw the

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: ball to get back in the game and be successful

186
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: at it. They got put in that position yesterday and

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: they were unsuccessful at it. So yet, semantics notwithstanding, that,

188
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: wasn't that difficult to see coming? How hard was this

189
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: game tilted? Though? Like I'm talking about this game being dominated, well,

190
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: how thoroughly was it dominated? Listen to this Texas Tech

191
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: ran forty three plays in Brigham Young territory BYU ran

192
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: nine plays in Texas Tech tear starting field position on

193
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: average double a lot of paper pops in this game.

194
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Starting field position. Texas Tech their own forty two, Brigham

195
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Young their own twenty three. So yeah, the table was

196
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: tilted all day. Now. I did listen afterwards. We were

197
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: headed to the airport and we were headed home, and

198
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: I always like to listen to a lot of the

199
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: postgame press and media conferences and stuff like that from

200
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the games that we've been at. And I was listening

201
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: to Kaline Seitakia, I was listening to some of the

202
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: Brigham Young players. They were saying the same kind of

203
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: thing I would probably say if I were in the game.

204
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: So I'm not criticizing these guys at all. But I

205
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: heard one of the Brigham Young players say something along

206
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: the lines of, it was a hard fought game. We

207
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: missed a lot of opportunities. We hope to get another

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: crack at those guys. You know, the basically the idea was,

209
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: we did some things wrong today. If we clean that up,

210
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: if we get another shot at and we'll do those

211
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: things right. So just to missed opportunities, and we could

212
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: have been in this game, which is how a competitor thinks.

213
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: So I don't blame them, but let's talk about missed opportunities,

214
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: because missed opportunities are actually what kept this from being

215
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: forty five to seven instead of twenty nine to seven.

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: Brigham Young, I mean, they're sitting there down multiple possessions

217
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: and kind of lucky for the game to be this

218
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: close Texas Tech is. I mean, they they had so

219
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: many opportunities inside Brigham Young territory. They settled for field

220
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: goals so many times, and it's great because that's how

221
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: football works. And so we can't change the result yesterday.

222
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: But if we're looking ahead, if we think these teams

223
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: are gonna play again, and it's not a foregone conclusion.

224
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: But Brigham Young does control their own destiny. You see

225
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: their schedule here. They got TCU, then they got at Cincinnati.

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough game. And if they lose

227
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: that when we're probably looking at Cincinnati in the Big

228
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: Twelve title game. And then they got UCF. But even

229
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: if they do get back, like, nothing's changing about stylistically

230
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: how much this matchup disadvantages you. But in terms of

231
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: miss opportunities, buddy, there were a whole lot more missed

232
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: opportunities and points left on the field by the home

233
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: team yesterday and than the road team. So they got

234
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: something really really special brewing there. It's kind of been

235
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: that way all year. I feel like yesterday, for the

236
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: first time, maybe people made it a point to view

237
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: a Texas Tech football game, and you know, it wasn't

238
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: like a fireworks show. Actually it was in real life,

239
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: but in terms of figurative language, it wasn't a fireworks show.

240
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: But it was just an awesome trip. I don't know

241
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: what it is. There are a couple of places that

242
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I've been where I have this irrational attachment to the

243
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: people and the place. Now, some places we go all

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: the time, Like we're around the SEC a lot. We're

245
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: around Ohio State and Penn State, and Michigan a lot.

246
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: We're around Oregon a fair amount. So those places I

247
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: have familiarity with because they're like my neighbors. I just

248
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: go see them all the time. But then there are

249
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: other places where you don't get there all the time,

250
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: and it just they hit you different. They strike you

251
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit different, And all I can tell you

252
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: is out of that second category, Texas Tech is our

253
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: favorite trip that we've made going to that place. Those people,

254
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Matt Dowdy and the SID crew, Joey Maguire, their open

255
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: door policy, equipment staff, strength, the conditioning staff. They're so

256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: great to us. The people are so great. Big shout

257
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: out to the Texas Tech student section, by the way,

258
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: because I promised them a shout out. And if you

259
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: looked at that video that I put on Twitter yesterday,

260
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't really know how else to describe it. If

261
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: I were to take a perfect scene that describes the

262
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: entire setting at Texas Tech yesterday, it was that video.

263
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: There's a kid on the front row with a poster

264
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: that says I love oil money, Drill, baby drill. That's

265
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: West Texas. It's unbelievable experience. So I encourage all of

266
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: you before you knock it, make sure you experience it.

267
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Quick trip fueled us all the way out there. Speaking

268
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: of oil, they fueled us all the way out there.

269
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: They fueled us all the way back last night, and

270
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Man. Like I said, memorable trip. We

271
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: will not forget that one for a long while. But

272
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: where will we go next? I have it on good

273
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: authority because they've announced it publicly that game day is

274
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: going to Notre Dame Pittsburgh, right, Jesse. Yeah, so they're

275
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: going up to Pittsburgh. Was there were rumors that they

276
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: were going to be in Arkansas and that did not

277
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: come to fruition, which has to be a little bit

278
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: of a bummer for the folks there. We will not

279
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: be in Arkansas either, but I never teased that we

280
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: would be there. But we're also not going to be

281
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. We are going to be at Texas Georgia

282
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: this Saturday. Because this is a massive, massive game. It's

283
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: been a wonderful year to be a Georgia season ticket holder.

284
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: I was simply waiting on Georgia yesterday to take care

285
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: of business, and take care of business they did, and

286
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that later. And if they had taken

287
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: care of business yesterday, which they did, I knew we

288
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: were going to this game. So this is another opportunity

289
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: now for this group of teams in the SEC. We

290
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: got a bunch of one and two lost teams. This

291
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: is another opportunity for someone to make a statement. I

292
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: think it is a massive opportunity for Texas. If Texas

293
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: were to go in there and they're about a six

294
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: and a half point dog. By the way, I need

295
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: to tweet this out. Hold on just a second. I

296
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: know Sark and Kirby're waiting on this. Okay, there you go, guys.

297
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: You can finish your dinner now. If they go in

298
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: there and beat Georgia, everything's still in play for Georgia,

299
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden Texas. Texas is not in

300
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: the driver's seat for a playoff spot, but they would

301
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: completely control their destiny as they do now. This would

302
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: be one of the big hurdles. Like everybody when they

303
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: map out Texas's season, they're kind of saying, well, they're

304
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: going to drop at least one of the Georgia or

305
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and M games fair but if they win

306
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: this one, that other games at home they get A

307
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: and M at home. I think that's a Friday, by

308
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: the way, I think it's on Black Friday. They have

309
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving, so quick trip will fuel us down there.

310
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: They're like twenty quick trips within a stone's throw of

311
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Sandford Stadium, so we're in very familiar territory. We're looking

312
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: forward to it. They take care of us at Georgia.

313
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: We love our folks at Georgia, so we're looking forward

314
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: to getting down there. Until then, let's continue talking about

315
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Week eleven, shall we. What'd you think about this Alabama

316
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: LSU game last night? The finals twenty to nine. Now

317
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Bama covered. It was our best bet of the week.

318
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Bama somehow covers and hangs twenty. We'll take it however

319
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: we can get it. We're hanging two chali on this game.

320
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: It was a one possession game late in the second half,

321
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: and yet it never felt like it was in doubt,

322
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: or maybe if you're a Bama fan, it did feel

323
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: like it was in doubt a little bit. Me Mal

324
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: would call this one of those classic grumble games. A

325
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: grumble win, if you will. Bama got so spoiled for

326
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: a long time, undersaved, and they'd win by like thirty

327
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and still have complaint. Okay, well that's backed off just

328
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Because you play a lot of one

329
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: possession type games under Deboor. This one was a two

330
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: possession game. But still you win the game. We can

331
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: confirm that you can't run the ball yet and probably

332
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: can't at all this season. We can confirm that, and

333
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: yet you win the game. But it has a weird

334
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: vibe to it. There's this little grumble win nature about it.

335
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: We won, but I guarantee you a bunch of Bama

336
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: fans have said that at church this morning, at lunch,

337
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: at work tomorrow. We won. But and then something about

338
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: the run game, something about Ryan Grubbs play calling on

339
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: first down is going to follow the butt. It's a

340
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: privileged position to be in in life. You know how

341
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: much that'll love to be in that position in Tallahassee, Florida,

342
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: or Clemson, South Carolina for that matter, or Auburn Alabama.

343
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: That love it. Bama folks don't care. The margin felt

344
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: bigger than it was all night. We got home in

345
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: time to watch this entire game, and so I was

346
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: watching it and there are these They are these deep

347
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: balls that Ty Simpson keeps missing, not by multiple stride links,

348
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: but by you know, the length of a finger every

349
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: now and then, and you're like, oh, he'll hit the

350
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: next one, and then he doesn't hit the next one.

351
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Now he'll hit the next one. He doesn't hit the

352
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: next one, and you're sitting there thinking to yourself, it's

353
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: twenty to nine. If they hit any combination of these balls,

354
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: it feels like it's thirty five to nine. But they didn't,

355
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: so you've got missed explosive pass plays. And yet still

356
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: Bama had half a dozen explosive passes in the game.

357
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: LSU had one. So you feel like they are all

358
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: these missed opportunities because there were, but they still had

359
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: six of them. And it's crazy because you look at

360
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: other teams in the country. LSU's a perfect example of one. Actually,

361
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: there are these other teams in the country who can't

362
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: really run the ball worth anything like Bama, and because

363
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: of that, it greatly shaves off their pass game production.

364
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: You watch Alabama and the only thing that's shaving off

365
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: their pass game production, I'm not gonna call it so

366
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: off inflicted because up pressure on the quarterback can hurry

367
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: up a throw. Tight coverage can lead to an incomplete pass.

368
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of balls that just frankly

369
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: have to be completed down the field. Well, they don't

370
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: have to be. They need to be in order for

371
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: their offensive profile to be what it can be, for

372
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: their national title hopes to be what they can be,

373
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: that just aren't being completed. So I don't know, does

374
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: that clean? Does that clean itself up? One of my

375
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: least liked phrases in football. We're gonna clean that up.

376
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: You like it's a grimy window. It's November, but we're

377
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna clean things up. Teams do improve in November. I've

378
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: just never understood how you clean it up and improve it.

379
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Twenty to nine game could have just as easily been

380
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: like thirty eight to nine if they hit some explosive

381
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: pass plays. But the run game kind of is what

382
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I don't know how many times

383
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: I looked around today. I looked at my inbox. A

384
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: bunch of fans will always DM you after a win

385
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: and say, hey, how are we gonna get this cleaned up?

386
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: There it is again? How we're gonna get this figured out.

387
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: You're not. You get the highest You got one of

388
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: the best offensive staffs in the country. There. Those guys

389
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: are paid a lot of money. You've got your players

390
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: unless you're an Oregon Duck theoretically as healthy as they

391
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: could be coming out of the bye week. It is

392
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: what it is. It was one of their worst rushing

393
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: performances of the year last night. Now, look, Blake Baker's

394
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: an American hero. That LSU defense played their tails off.

395
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Even then, you gotta be able to do better than

396
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: that or else. It just is what it is. So

397
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: it is what it is with Alabama. It's a flawed

398
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: contending team. Fortunate news for them. Everyone has flaws. Contrary

399
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: to popular belief, there's probably somewhere somehow. Ohio State even

400
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: has a flaw or two. I'm not supposed to say that,

401
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: cause those flaws aren't very big, but they may be

402
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: there somewhere. This is just where Bama's inefficient. The defense

403
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: keeps showing up though three more sacks. The pass rush

404
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: was one of two things that I said I was

405
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: looking for in this game. Rush continuing to come along

406
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: run game improvement. Well, we didn't get the second one,

407
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: but we did get the first one. They held LSU

408
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: to five or fourteen on third downs. They had seven

409
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: tackles for loss LSU, four red zone trips, zero touchdowns.

410
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: They consistently right now are making you know, twenty four

411
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: to twenty seven points good enough to win, And specifically

412
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: their red zone defense has been the most underreported important

413
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: facet of this team this year. They yell constantly, like

414
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: if you're around them, if you stand on a Bama sideline,

415
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: you go watch them in practice. One of the things

416
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: they just yell constantly is make them snap it again,

417
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: make them snap it again, make them snap it again.

418
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: And what that means is and this is not rocket

419
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: science here by any stretch, but there's a huge difference

420
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: in someone breaking a long run or a long pass

421
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: on you and them scoring versus them getting pushed out

422
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: of bounds at the seven. Is it first and goal,

423
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. But every additional time you make the

424
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: opponent snap the ball, no matter how close to the

425
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: goal line it is, it gives them one more shot

426
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: to screw it up, to fumble it, for you to

427
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: tackle them for a loss, for them to false start.

428
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: And Bama's just disproportionately better at doing that than a

429
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: lot of teams are. So it's not bend but don't break,

430
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: because that implies you can't get any pressure on the QB,

431
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: and that implies you don't have any high level skill

432
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: in your dB room. They've got those things, they're linebacker

433
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: rooms coming along right now. They'll probably get Kway Rusau

434
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: back at some point before the year's over. I'm not

435
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: trying to say it's this old school Big twelve style

436
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: of playing defense, but red zones really where they've won

437
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: games and they're very efficient down there, and those guys

438
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: that defensive staff deserves a lot of credit for that.

439
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: LSU does not just a mess offensively. Garrett Nussmayer got benched.

440
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean within about a thirty minute to a one

441
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: hour span last night, we had Nussmyer benched for LSU,

442
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: DJ Lagway benched for Florida. I mean, look, everyone made

443
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: fun of my preseason SEC quarterback rankings, but who's ranking

444
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't at least have Garrett Nussmeyer up in the top

445
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: five and DJ Lagway somewhere around there. So it's just

446
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: been a crazy year at the quarterback position in the SEC.

447
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: It's November again, so we got to call it like

448
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: it is. I thought Austin Thomas in that personnel department

449
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: did as good a job as they could try to

450
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: do at turning this roster into a contender, because remember

451
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: what we talked about in the spring and summer, this

452
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: was going to be a team with glaring deficiencies. And

453
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: they got their act together in il wise, and I

454
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: thought their front office deserved a lot of credit for that,

455
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: still do, and they put as many pieces on the

456
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: roster as they could. It never fully became the team

457
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: that it could have become. There are big differences between

458
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: individual pieces and a team, and they got enough of

459
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: the first. I thought they don't have enough of the second.

460
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: And it's going to go downhill from here. So your

461
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: conversation around LSU just pretty exclusively shifts to coaching search.

462
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: And you've got Arkansas, Western, Kentucky, and at Oklahoma left.

463
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't two in one, one and two. I don't

464
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: know what they're going to be there, but Alabama's must

465
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: have because this is a national championship contender, this is

466
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: an SEC championship contender. But I'm telling you Alabama does

467
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: not get there unless they have elite red zone defense

468
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: or continue to have it. They have to have their

469
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 1: explosive pass game improved. They have to have that. And

470
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: the third thing is that pass rush that's emerging. It

471
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: has to continue to emerge. Okay, they do that and

472
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: they win the criticals. They're a really good middle eight

473
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: team as well. If they continue to do those things,

474
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: they can win a national championship. But there's going to

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: come a time, and it may be before the regular

476
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: It may be Saturday against Oklahoma, it could be randomly

477
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: on the road at Auburn in the Iron Bowl. It

478
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: could be against Texas A and M. They're going to

479
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: have to win three, maybe four games in the playoff

480
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: to win it all. They're gonna be multiple teams capable

481
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: of taking things away from you, capable of scoring on you.

482
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, they themselves are really efficient offensively in the

483
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: red zone. So eventually you're gonna have trade points and

484
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: eventually you're gonna have score in the second half. So

485
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: they gotta find that stuff. I said coming out of

486
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: the bye week, I don't think they've squeezed all the

487
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: juice out of the Orange yet. I still don't think it.

488
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: And my evidence is not the run game, the run

489
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: game is what it is. But I still think in

490
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: terms of explosive passes, these are not balls. Like watching

491
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Nico Iamaliava at Tennessee last year where he's missing guys

492
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: by like multiple stridelings. It's just inches here and there. Immunity.

493
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: It's just inches. You gotta find the inches immunity again.

494
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Let's move on. I have a post it in my hand.

495
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make a big deal of this. Only

496
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: those of you watching or listening to the whole show

497
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: are going to hear the two words that are written

498
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: on this post it. I don't believe Eve in huge

499
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: promotional teases. When we have announcements, we make the announcements.

500
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: But you've asked us for a live show for a

501
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: long time. I think within the next month. I think

502
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: within the next week, we're gonna have a big announcement

503
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: about a live show. I think the show will happen

504
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: within the next month personally, But that's just me. What

505
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: do I know. So stay tuned, stay tuned to the

506
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: next week's shows big announcement. I'm told I'm hearing things

507
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: about a big announcement. Jesse, you were so close Indiana

508
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven Penn State twenty four four and a half

509
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Childli game yesterday. There was strong debate internally about making

510
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: this a five Chilai game. I had this is very unorthodoxed.

511
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: I had coaches text me and say, that's got to

512
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: be a five Chalai game, right. And I came into

513
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: the office today and I said, what do we think

514
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: is that a five chilai game? And Jesse's like, I

515
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see it. Shocker, But he

516
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: did put forth a good enough argument about the first

517
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: half being kind of sleepy that it did drag the

518
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: game rating down to a four and a half. But

519
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: if we were rating halves, the second half could have

520
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: been six chialai. First ever six Chali game. Omar Cooper,

521
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: what a day. He could live one hundred and fifty

522
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: years and yesterday's still be the most memorable day of

523
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: his life. He goes on to have kids, a successful career, whatever. Yesterday,

524
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be up there no matter what he

525
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: does the rest of his life. We were at the

526
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: airport watching the ending of the game. We had left

527
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: the stadium. We're at the airport in Lubbock waiting to

528
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: get out of there, and everyone just glued to it.

529
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: And remember I told you last year or was it

530
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: two years ago? I was up in Ann Arbor. Yeah,

531
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: it was like two years ago. It was whenever Bama

532
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: had like that fourth and thirty one touchdown in the

533
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl to beat Auburn. So I guess that was

534
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: two years ago. I rarely see big moments at airports.

535
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen a big sporting moment happened at

536
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: an airport, it's really surreal because like if you're in

537
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: an airport, if you're at a restaurant or a bar

538
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, everyone's just watching TVs. And if there's a

539
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: big sporting event on all the TVs or on the

540
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: sporting event, well, normally on Saturdays, I'm at the big game.

541
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: So I had been at Ohio State Michigan that day.

542
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: That's a noon kickoff, and I get to Detroit Airport

543
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: and that Iron Bowl game's going on, and they hit

544
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: fourth and thirty one and you could just hear noise

545
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: echo all throughout the big long corridors in the Detroit Airport.

546
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: So that's a memorable airport college football moment for me.

547
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: And then yesterday we were in Lubbock and it happened again,

548
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: everyone's glued to Indiana Penn State, and everyone's thinking to themselves,

549
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: it is Penn State about to pull this off? First off,

550
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: how is Penn State doing this? More on that in

551
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: a second. And secondly, are they really about to pull

552
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: this off? Yes? No, no, they're not about to pull

553
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: this off. I was in disbelief. I was of the

554
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: opinion that they had to prove it to me. But

555
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: they sucked me in. They got me. Penn State got me,

556
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: especially when they sack Mendoza on first and ten on

557
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: that last drive, and it's like second in a mile.

558
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: They got him. First down, another first down, another first down,

559
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: another first down. Crazy. So let's just walk through this

560
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: for a second. You know where your mind was at.

561
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: I got to tell you where my mind was at.

562
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: I view these games a little bit different. I don't

563
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: really care about your record once the game kicks off.

564
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't care about your ranking once the game kicks off.

565
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Now everyone says that, but I don't think everyone believes that.

566
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. I don't think everyone believes

567
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: that because people say things like, oh, Indiana, they're getting

568
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: pushed against the team that's sub five hundred. No, they're

569
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: not No. One is sub five hundred. Penn State's not

570
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: three and five on that day. They're just a team

571
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: on the field that zero and zero on that day.

572
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Indiana's not the number two team in the country. They're

573
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: just a team on the field for that day. Now,

574
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot to say when you do what A

575
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: and M did yesterday and you just go on the

576
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: road and you take care of business, and it's never

577
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: in doubt. Indiana's done that. I'm glad they had to

578
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: experience this yesterday. Personally, if I'm an Indiana fan, oh man,

579
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: it's like torture when you're watching it. But afterwards, you

580
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: don't talk about thirty eight to thirteen games. Ten years

581
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: from now, you'll talk about this one. I just always

582
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: go back to the same thing. And I don't think

583
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: there's proper appreciation for this. Your record doesn't mean anything

584
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Your ranking does not mean anything on Saturday.

585
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: It's just two teams playing. And Indiana's in this situation

586
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: where they are favored by double digits over teams with

587
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: better roster talent than they have because they're a better

588
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: team than those teams are. They've been better to date,

589
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: but it doesn't change that any given Saturday, they could

590
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: push you. It could happen. This kind of game hasn't

591
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: happened in the Big ten a lot. It happens all

592
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: the time in the SEC. I had a guy yesterday.

593
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: They texted me sarcastically after Indiana won this game, and

594
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: he told me, Indiana gets a lot of credit for

595
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: this game, right, You guys always give teams credit in

596
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: the SCC when they beat teams below five hundred. And

597
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, they sure do. Indiana gets a ton

598
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: of credit for it. What point are you trying to make.

599
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: I think he thought it was a gotcha moment. It's

600
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: not a gotcha moment at all. Understand what Indiana dealt

601
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: with yesterday because it's the same thing Georgia dealt with,

602
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's Florida. Last week, Georgia goes on the road. Well,

603
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: it's Jacksonville, so it's a neutral site. But they go

604
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: and they face a team that has a bad record.

605
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: But Florida's got NFL guys everywhere, So on any given Saturday,

606
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: if they hit the on switch, they could be a

607
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: nightmare to deal with. They just haven't hit the on

608
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: switch enough during the season to have a ranking next

609
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: to their name or to be favored in the game.

610
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they got

611
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: blown out early in the year, if against you, they

612
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: come to play. So yesterday Indiana goes in there face

613
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: by fourteen and a half. They got a big fat

614
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: ranking next to the name Penn State dutt and they've

615
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: already fired their coach. But it didn't matter because Penn

616
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: State came to play. They hit the on switch yesterday.

617
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Nick Singleton, he's still alive. I didn't know that, and

618
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: he called a nicky when told to throw the ball,

619
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: can call functional pass plays. I didn't know that. So

620
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: none of it mattered. Here's the difference in the Big Ten.

621
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: Normally you have not had to deal with the superior

622
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: talent rosters having inferior records in the SEC. It happens

623
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: all the time, like you'll have random teams down in

624
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: the SECA like South Carolina. South Carolina's got Lenora Sellers,

625
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: they got Dylan Stewart on that team, they got Nick

626
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Harbor and their record sucks, but it doesn't change the

627
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: fact they have multiple freak athletes on the team. In

628
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, Penn State's got a ton of future

629
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: NFL talent most of the time ninety nine times out

630
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: of one hundred, and the Big Ten lately, you haven't

631
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: had but more than two or three rosters like that

632
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: loaded up with NFL talent, and they've all had the

633
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: good records. Very rarely have you had teams going on

634
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: the road to face one of the high level talent rosters.

635
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: I think Penn State's probably like third best talent roster

636
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, but they're having a subpar season,

637
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: which sets a classic trap. Those games haven't happened a

638
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: lot in the Big Ten. It happened yesterday, so it

639
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: was kind of like an SEC game, So you better

640
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: believe I'm giving Indiana a ton of credit for it.

641
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: That's a game that probably eight times out of ten

642
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: you end up losing, and yet they didn't because as

643
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: great as the fourth quarter was, as great as the

644
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Omar Cooper catch was, and i'd call it the play

645
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: of the year, to this point, i'd call it the

646
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: play of the year. I mean, my jaw was on

647
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 1: the ground just like the rest of you. That's not

648
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: what won them the game. What won them the game

649
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: was the middle eight, final four minutes, first half, first

650
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: four minutes, second half. That part of the game is

651
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: where they ended up kind of sneakily taking the thing

652
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: by the throat. Now, they lost the lead and ended

653
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: up having to regain it at the very but think

654
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: about this. There was a penalty on an Indiana drive

655
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: late late first half that extended the drive, and that

656
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: drive ends in a field goal. Then Penn State goes

657
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: ultra conservative, which they did a couple of times yesterday

658
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: at the end of each half, which I thought was inexplicable,

659
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: and then they fumbled the ball and Indiana gets touchdown.

660
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: So that's ten unanswered going into the half. Penn State

661
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: gets the ball coming out of the locker room and

662
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Indiana ends up getting it off an interception. They kick

663
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: a field goal thirteen oh run. I thought that was

664
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: the difference in the game, even though Penn State ended

665
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: up taking the lead and Penn State lost the middle eight,

666
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they got the ball out of

667
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: the locker room, So that was what lost the game. Now, situationally,

668
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Penn State was a mess. That's just what happens when

669
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: you have interim head coach. That bit lsu Yat yesterday.

670
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: That bit Penn State yesterday. But that's to be expected.

671
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: Consider Penn State's reality, though not just yesterday. Consider go

672
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: back to halftime of the semi final last year and

673
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: just press play and think about what these poor people

674
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: have been through. I work with one. Think about what

675
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: these poor people have been through. You had the interception

676
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: to end the Notre Dame game. Season's over. Just suddenly

677
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: season's over. That's okay, because everyone's coming back, and we

678
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: got our most talented team and we're going to gear

679
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: up for a national championship run. And then you lead

680
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: Oregon in overtime, but then they push the dagger into

681
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: your ribs and you lose that one, and then you

682
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: can't get a defensive stop against UCLA and you lose

683
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: that one. And ditto against Northwestern and you lose that one,

684
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: and then it's a one point loss against Iowa. Ohio

685
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: State handled you pretty thoroughly. But the Indiana game yesterday,

686
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: same thing. They're like half a dozen plays since that

687
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: moment that could have at least sent you to play

688
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: for a national title and could have you eight and

689
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: one right now. I could change half a dozen plays

690
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: and change the entire outlook on Penn State football. But

691
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. I could not believe they

692
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: didn't go for the throat with the ball late. I

693
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that they played the game honestly. Penn State

694
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: played the game like they were undefeated versus an undefeated

695
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: team where they had wiggle room. Where you play at

696
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: ultra tight, you play at conservative, you play field position.

697
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't even think anyone was aware. You're three and five,

698
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: your season is already a rap. Anyway, this is your

699
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: national title game. I know it's not fun to say that,

700
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: but for Penn State this year, this is your national

701
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: title game. And you play ball control, ball control. At

702
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: the one time you do throw it, you throw it

703
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: in the flat well short of the sticks, and you

704
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: give the ball to them, and they do what championship

705
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: caliber teams do. They drive down the field and you're

706
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: watching Fernando Mendoza, I told Joel cladd after the game,

707
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: because they called the game. I mean, Gus Johnson still

708
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: has not peeled himself up off the ground of the

709
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: broadcast booth. But I told Klatt, Fernando Mendoza could play

710
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: another fifteen years. He could go on and have a

711
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: great NFL career. He will probably never be as zoned

712
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: in again. In his life as he was that final drive,

713
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: Like guys could play great NFL careers and not have

714
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: a chain of events like he had in Indiana had

715
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: on that game winning drive. And I know, like you know,

716
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: Gus Johnson said stuff about the Heisman and just getting

717
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: caught up in the moment, and then you know, Julian

718
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Sayan backers and Ohio State fans, they got a big

719
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: problem with it because, like their attitude is, so we're

720
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: gonna credit that guy who didn't play all that well

721
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: up until that moment and put himself in a position

722
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: to where he needs a game winning drive, whereas our

723
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: guy is just carved up everybody, and so he's gonna

724
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: get punished for that, which is a valid point. I

725
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: don't really care about that because I don't get that

726
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: locked up on the Heisman. I'm just saying every championship team,

727
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: it seems to me, has needed a moment like that.

728
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what's gonna happen to Indiana. I

729
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: just know since they won the game knowing, you know,

730
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: armed with the knowledge they won the game, I like

731
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: their prospects a whole lot moving forward, Like I like

732
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: their odds to win a title more after yesterday than

733
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: I would have if they just won the game like

734
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: thirty one to thirteen, which sounds calendar intuitive unless you

735
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: understand college football. But you know, there was a lot

736
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: of people afterwards saying, hey, man, I know they won,

737
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: but this makes them vulnerable. But they were already vulnerable.

738
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: Everybody is. It is weird that Indiana seemingly has not

739
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: had to climb the ladder like normally, your progression, your

740
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: ascension as a program is you go from being bad

741
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: to not as bad, to okay to pretty good but

742
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: can't win the big games, to finally you win a

743
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: big game, to then you become one of the top fives,

744
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: to then you become elite. Indiana just went from terrible

745
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: to elite, and it really doesn't feel like there's been

746
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: much in between. So all of a sudden, you're looking

747
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: at them now and you're just trying to search with

748
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: a magnifying glass for any weaknesses. Well you'll find them.

749
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: They've got them. I mean, Mendoza against Oregon was not

750
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: that great against Iowa, struggled against Penn State struggle. They

751
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: can be beaten. Of course, they're going to face a

752
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: team that's probably better than them. In Indianapolis in a

753
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: few weeks. But here's the thing that only matters if

754
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: you can show me a flawless team out there. That's

755
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: why Ohio State kind of holds all the cards here

756
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: because everybody else you look at the odds to win

757
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: the college football playoff there, everybody else has shown some

758
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: form of weakness. Some have multiple weaknesses, but everyone's shown

759
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: at least one weakness. Ohio State, out of all those teams,

760
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: has shown the least amount of weakness. So if Ohio

761
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: State really is this wrecking ball, they really are just

762
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: this death machine, then nothing else matters. They'll just win

763
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But if Ohio State is not quite that,

764
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: if Ohio State is just very good but not a eat,

765
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: then it's game on and they're like eight teams that

766
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: can win the whole thing. Probably not that many, but

767
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: to make my point, I'm gonna go with eight. But

768
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: congratulations to Indiana. That's not one that I thought they

769
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: were gonna win. Late in the game. Then they won it,

770
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: all right, I mentioned earlier. Well, first off, I would

771
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: like to welcome all of you who are watching live.

772
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: If you're watching live, like I know, maybe some Indiana

773
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: fans don't watch the channel usually, thank you for watching.

774
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,799

Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns you can. If you want to know

777
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: how the Dodgers are doing in the hot stove conversations,

778
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: that's okay. This is just not the channel. It's just

785
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: media platforms don't offer what you want. This is the

786
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: counter to that, because we can do whatever we want here.

787

Speaker 1: Look at what the sign says. Yeah, it's just our show.

790
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: know how Flexpower is one of our new partners this year,

791
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and with any partner we've ever had on the show,

792
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: one of the prerequisites to ever getting in the door

793
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: is you got to give our folks free stuff. You've

794
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: got to give our audience free stuff. That's why you

795
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: never see me doing this boiler plate like ad read

796
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,959
Speaker 1: from companies that I don't use and companies that can't

797
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: give you free stuff. Flexpower said, yeah, we know, we've

798
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: watched the show for a long time now. I was like,

799
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: of course, you have my bad. So we've been giving

800
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: away generators. We actually gave away one for October to

801
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: Thomas Furra. He's out of Texas, friend of the program,

802
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: so he got a generator. That thing's an eight hundred

803
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: dollars value. By the way, those things are nice, very nice.

804
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: We got one sitting out in the sitting out in

805
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: the bullpen right now. I want to give away more.

806
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: Flex Power has agreed to give away more each of

807
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: the next three sundays on this show. We're giving away

808
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: a free flex Power generator that's an eight hundred dollars value.

809
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: These things are worth every penny. But I'm just saying

810
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: we're not giving away boxes of candy here, Like, this

811
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: is the real deal. This is a serious heavy merch

812
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: that we're giving away. There's no catch, you don't really

813
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: have to do anything. Here's all you need to do.

814
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: Jesse's gonna put a link in the live chat there

815
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: will also be a link in the show description here

816
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: on YouTube. It takes you to a form. Just fill

817
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: it out. I'm gonna give you to Tuesday. I think

818
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: that's fair. What was that, Jesse? Yeah, I'm about to

819
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: get to that. So on social here's what we want

820
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: you to do. Oh that's right. Did I mix it up? Jesse? Yeah,

821
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: I mix it up. That's with another giveaway later in

822
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: the show. Okay, I don't need you to go to

823
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: any form for flex power. Here's all I need you

824
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: to do. Just tell me why you want it. Take

825
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: your phone, record a video. Bonus points if you do

826
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: it at a tailgate, but you can do it anywhere,

827
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: and just tell us why you need the generator. That's

828
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: all you need to do. And then when you post it,

829
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: just use the hashtag flex power flex. That's flex power flex.

830
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: We're given one away each of the next three Sundays.

831
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: They're nice. I wasn't wrong about that, right, Jesse. They're

832
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: very nice, extremely nice generators. Hashtag flex power flex. All right,

833
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: let's move on. Oh what a game. We got so

834
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: many games left to get to. We've got the AP

835
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: I got to change my playoff predictions. We've got a

836
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: lot to get to Oregon pulled it out eighteen to

837
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: sixteen final over. Iowa got to give it four and

838
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: a half Chili four and a half Chili Classic there

839
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: in Iowa City, which I believe is the highest rating

840
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: we've ever put on an Iowa game. Dan Lanning, in

841
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: true psychopath form, chose to wear cotton and the pouring

842
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: rain up there. I had it on good authority throughout

843
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: the week that that was going to happen. Once we

844
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: called it out, there was no shot. There was already

845
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: little shot of him wearing anything other than cotton once

846
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: we called it out on the show, and then Will

847
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: and Taylor and me called it out in the locker room. Again.

848
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: We had a really good source on this, an extremely

849
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: good source. I would say, a source as close to

850
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning as a source could possibly be told us

851
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: in terms that can't be expressed on the show. He's

852
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: wearing cotton. So he did, and he probably gained twenty

853
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: five thirty pounds in the game, but Oregon gained to win.

854
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what they did in the bye week.

855
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: Normally you come out of the bye healthy. It sounds

856
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: like landing through his entire team into the Pacific ocean

857
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: three miles off shore and said, those of you who

858
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: make it to the beach can play against Iowa. Because

859
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: Decorian Moore was nowhere to be found. Kenyon Sadik missed

860
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: this game. They're right guard was out. So whoever survived

861
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: being lost at sea goes to Iowa City in the

862
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: pouring rain. And what did I tell you? The key was?

863
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: We circled this one last week and I said, the

864
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 1: key to this thing is Oregon's gotta go when Iowa's game,

865
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: because it was gonna be an Iowa game. The weather

866
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: dictated that this was not going to be a fireworks show.

867
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: And so if I were to tell you this is

868
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: sort of a padlock stat But if I were to

869
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: tell you Friday that the opening score in this game

870
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: was going to be a safety, that there were going

871
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: to be four hundred combined rush yards, that one team

872
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: was going to have more rush yards than both teams

873
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: combined had passing yards, that there would be eight drives

874
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: of four plus minutes, the final would be eighteen to sixteen,

875
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: It would be in the pouring rain, and the winning

876
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: team would have under one hundred and fifteen total passing yards.

877
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: Who would you think that game favored. That is an

878
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: Iowa game, that's a quintessential Iowa Hawkey's football game, and

879
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: the Oregon Ducks came out on top. You want a

880
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: padlock stat I'll give you one. Oregon out rushed them

881
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: two sixty one to one forty. That's it. Moment to

882
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: remember we had one in the Indiana game. I mean

883
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: we saw, we saw Kurt Signetti and crew go up

884
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: there and get a moment that will be played on

885
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: highlight reels for years to come. And I don't know

886
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: how many highlight reels that Dante More passed to Malik

887
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 1: Benson will make, but I guarantee it makes the cinematic

888
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: recap of the game. Because Oregon releases like basically a

889
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: movie after every game. I think they should enter it

890
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: in various film festivals. That's just me talking. But twenty

891
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: three seconds left, forty nine yard line and they just boom.

892
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: And the thing about that is the whole rest of

893
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: the game had been a nightmare trying to throw the ball.

894
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: And I've always got respect for guys who, despite the

895
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: fact that their stat sheets not loaded up, it's still

896
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: when it comes winning time, winners just find ways to

897
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: make those plays, which is always fun because when we're

898
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: on the road in the spring, in the summer, you

899
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: go watch guys they're doing like their summer workouts and

900
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: it's like ninety degrees outside. Guys maybe maybe not wearing

901
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: a shirt, they got shorts on. Everyone's poor and sweat.

902
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: And what's always been funny about the sport of football

903
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: to me is im brutal heat. To be able to

904
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: make some plays in freezing cold that will define your season.

905
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: It's always funny how how long the seasons are and

906
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 1: how year round the training is. But you're always training

907
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: in just scorching heat, knowing full well that you're trying

908
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: to get yourself ready for thirty seven degrees in Iowa

909
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: City in early November. And they were ready. They were

910
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: ready last year versus this year. Think about the difference.

911
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Where were you last year? Where was Oregon last year?

912
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: I'll tell you where Oregon was. They were well on

913
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 1: their way to an undefeated regular season. They were well

914
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: on their way to a Big Ten championship, a number

915
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: one overall seed, and a first round by I'm not

916
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: saying those are bad things. They were actually very good things.

917
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: It didn't end the way they wanted, but they were

918
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: pretty dominant during the regular season. That's why they got

919
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,479
Speaker 1: that number one overall seed. Compare that to this year.

920
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: They're cut, they've been bleeding. They've got close wins against

921
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: Penn State and Iowa. They got handled in their own

922
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: building by Indiana about a month or so ago. Right now,

923
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: they still could lose another game. All their remaining games

924
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: are losable. Minnesota not likely, but not impossible. And then

925
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: they got Southern Cal in there. They go to Washington

926
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: last game of the year. Washington season got ruined yesterday

927
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: that Oregon visit will be Washington super Bowl at the

928
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: end of the year. Not to mention, USC is a

929
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: top twenty team right now, so they could still lose

930
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: another game. Think about the perception no one's talking about

931
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: Oregon in the National Championship. You got to go three

932
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: teams deep in the Big Ten before people mention Oregon.

933
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: It's all Ohio State and Indiana. Right now, Oregon's vulnerable.

934
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: Everyone's pointing out their weaknesses and inefficiencies. I've pointed them out,

935
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: but they're alive and they control their own destiny. And

936
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: here's a question. It's kind of rhetorical now because we

937
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 1: don't know what the a answer will be what if

938
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: Oregon gets healthy, what if they get more back? What

939
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: if they get Kenyon Sadiq back Evan Stewart, No one

940
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: said that name in a while. What if they get

941
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: him back? What if they do what Ohio State did

942
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: last year? Ohio State brutalized them in the playoff. Why

943
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: because they peaked at the right time in Oregon didn't.

944
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: You don't think Dan Landing and his team and his

945
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: organization learned a lesson or two from that. So what

946
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: if they're going to peak at the right time? No guarantee,

947
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, they could lose another game and get

948
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: knocked out of this thing and not even make the playoff.

949
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: But I'll just say, out of all these teams that

950
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: everyone keeps circling, is capable of winning a national title.

951
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of people include Oregon on

952
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: that list. Oregon is still on my list, is all

953
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Not at the top of it, but Oregon

954
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: is still on that list right now. So just don't

955
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: include me as having been part of the group that's

956
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: eliminated quite yet. Is that fence riding a little bit?

957
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 1: A little bit? Are you picking them to win? No?

958
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Are you picking them to lose. Absolutely not. What are

959
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: you picking them to do? Onto the next segment. This

960
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: is an exciting moment. We've been waiting for this for

961
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: a few months, and I have good news. I brought

962
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: my chapstick out on set tonight. That has nothing to

963
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: do with the announcement. Here we go. All right, it's

964
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: not as dry here as it was in Lubbock yesterday.

965
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: Dry heat. Great day though, So all right, this is

966
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: actually very serious. I moved here in January of twenty twenty.

967
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: Here is Nashville. I moved to Nashville in January of

968
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. In March of twenty twenty, March third, if

969
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: my memory serves correct, twenty twenty, there was an e

970
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: F four tornado that came through Nashville middle of the night.

971
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: The only time I've ever taken shelter in my adult

972
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: life from a tornado was this night. Because I'm a stormchaser,

973
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: so normally I'm chasing tornadoes. Nashville just got blindsided by

974
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: what ended up being a killer tornado. March third, twenty twenty,

975
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: one year to the day after we had chased one

976
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: down in Beauregard, Alabama, also E four. So the only

977
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: two EF fours I've been in were a year to

978
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: the day apart from each other. This tornado comes through Germantown,

979
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: comes through Nashville, goes across the Cumberland River, it stays

980
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: on the ground for a long time, ended up going

981
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: out through Cookville and a lot of people lost their lives.

982
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: We've come to know a guy who lost his little

983
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: girl that night. His name's Matt. He has since started

984
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: a charity, started a foundation because of that event, because

985
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 1: they went through what it's like to have to bury

986
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: your child. No really easy way to state that. So

987
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 1: we've come to know him. He watches the show. He's

988
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: been a long time friend of the show, and he

989
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: has got a foundation called the Magnolia Foundation. So for

990
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: a long time on our show, the entire purpose of

991
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: really growing it as big as we have is to

992
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: be able to help as many people as we can.

993
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: It's really been part one A of the motivation. We

994
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: love college football number one and then one A we

995
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: could leverage the platform to help people. So we've never

996
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: partnered with a charity before. We are doing that as

997
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: of tonight. So the Magnolia Foundation specializes in assisting families

998
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: who have lost a child zero to eighteen years old,

999
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: and they help with funeral expenses, They help with counseling,

1000
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: they help with commemorative care, which is fascinating and I

1001
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: knew nothing about, but that is, you know, sort of

1002
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: being there on important anniversaries that everyone else has probably

1003
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: forgotten about. Is the months and years go on and

1004
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, just there to provide a little something. So

1005
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: they help three families in twenty twenty five. Average cost

1006
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: is about four thousand dollars per family. We want to

1007
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: bump it up to five hundred families in twenty twenty six.

1008
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: As you could imagine, there is a very, very big

1009
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: need for this and we can help. Our show is

1010
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: in a position to help. The brand is big enough

1011
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: where we can help, so we're going to help. So

1012
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: among the other things that we're going to do as

1013
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: a show behind the scenes, I wanted to let you

1014
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: know that we're adding Magnolia Foundation Peyte State Collaborative merchandise

1015
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,479
Speaker 1: into the store, so fifty percent of those proceeds will

1016
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: go to the Magnolia Foundation. Among several other initiatives that

1017
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: we'll be announcing in the coming weeks, but we wanted

1018
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: to get that in the store peytstitmterial dot com because

1019
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: Christmas is a huge priority for them. As you can imagine,

1020
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: Christmas time is for people who are in need for

1021
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: this specific reason. Now a lot of you are listening

1022
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: to this right now and probably saying, I'm in I

1023
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: don't need to go to the store. I don't need

1024
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: to buy anything. I just want to help directly. The

1025
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: Magnolia Foundation dot com slash give If you just want

1026
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: to help directly, the Magnolia Foundation dot com slash give

1027
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: is how you do it. We wanted to do something

1028
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: fun in the store, so you got the hat there.

1029
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: The hat looks great, by the way, the shirt does

1030
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: as well. So those will be there just if you

1031
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: want to show it, if you want to wear it.

1032
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: But if you want to help, just straight up help

1034
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: lot with them. So this is the charity that we're

1035
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: partnering with as a people here at pate State. Really

1036
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: good work they do. I've had them lay it out

1037
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: for me. We've had several conversations with Matt, talk to

1038
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: him for a while about this. We finally are able

1039
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: to announce it publicly tonight. So happy to be a

1040
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: part of this. All right, let's move on and let

1041
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: me say hello to the live chat there. You know, Texas,

1042
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 1: A and M had the antithesis of what Indiana had yesterday.

1043
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: They went on the road and they just smoked someone

1044
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: thirty eight to seventeen over Missouri one and a half

1045
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: chili boring. Mike Elko would have it no other way.

1046
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: They're doing everything national title contenders do. Flex Power presents

1047
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: this entire sequence of events, and flex Power looks at

1048
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: it and says, even we couldn't really generate much of

1049
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: hope from Missouri here. They didn't say that. I put

1050
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: those words in their mouth. But don't forget the pregame

1051
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: dynamics in this game, Cause pregame a lot of people.

1052
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: ME said, hey, Missouri, backup quarterback. Sometimes that's a good thing.

1053
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of generating, sometimes that generates some emotion, some fire.

1054
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: And coming off of bye week drinking company, they've had

1055
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: two weeks to get ready, and A and M's got

1056
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: to go on the road as a favorite. This is

1057
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: unfamiliar territory for them. I don't want to forget the

1058
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: pregame dynamics. When someone shuts everyone up and blows their

1059
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: opponent out, because that just makes it all the more impressive.

1060
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 1: You don't get to say, in other words, watch out

1061
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: A and M on upset alert, and then they beat

1062
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: someone to death, and then you say, oh, who cares

1063
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: there's a backup quarterback. I mean, of course they beat them. Nope,

1064
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: you don't get to do that. That's just like the

1065
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: guy who says, we got to run the ball here,

1066
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: run the ball for no gain. I hate our playing.

1067
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: What are we running the ball for here? You don't

1068
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: get to be that guy. A lot of them out there,

1069
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: A lot of them out there, we call them casuals.

1070
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: Don't be one, especially a November casual. So the game

1071
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: was completely over shortly after halftime, twenty one to nothing.

1072
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: Missouri had no shot. Most of their offensive production came

1073
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: after the game was already decided. Matt Zohler's look, I

1074
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. Seven of twenty two

1075
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: for seventy seven yards thirty two percent completion percentage. Probably

1076
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: not ready for this moment. Most quarterbacks aren't ready to

1077
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: face A and M. But he especially wasn't the A

1078
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: and M offense. You want to talk balance? Boy? Does

1079
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: Colin Klein and his offense have something for you. Two

1080
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: twenty one through the air and two touchdowns. That's great,

1081
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: But what about the rushing members. I mean Bama, Bama

1082
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: had a good night passing. They didn't run it for anything.

1083
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: Two forty three rushing, three touchdowns. There's your balance. A

1084
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of different ways Texas, A and M can beat you.

1085
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: And don't let these results get overlooked. I mentioned this earlier.

1086
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: All the credit in the world to Indiana, all the

1087
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: credit in the world to Oregon for going on the

1088
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: road and gutting out wins. Those are games that SEC

1089
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: teams find themselves in a lot, and we give the

1090
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: SEC teams credit, and you give the Big ten teams

1091
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: full credit for being in similar situations and pulling out

1092
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: wins against teams they were favored against. However, sometimes what

1093
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: can happen is those games attract all the attention and

1094
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: everyone's watching Indiana drive on Penn State and come from

1095
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: behind and win the game, and we're all impressed and stunned,

1096
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: and our first reaction is to praise Indiana, as it

1097
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: should be, and you give them a ton of credit

1098
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: for pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat, and

1099
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: you should. But see what you don't see is over

1100
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,479
Speaker 1: in Columbia, Missouri. A and M's just zipping up another

1101
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: body bag who deserves more credit? And the reason I

1102
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: mentioned those two next to each other is one of

1103
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: them was ranked in front of the other one last week.

1104
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: I think, wasn't it two and three Jesse? So I

1105
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: wonder what the playoff committee thought about it. That was

1106
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: a top twenty five team in Missouri. Now you don't

1107
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: get to discredit that just because they won't be ranked

1108
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: cause A and M beat them. That is a ranked

1109
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: opponent that A and M just dismantled on the road.

1110
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: Do they get more credit for it than Indiana gets

1111
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: for a close win on the road? Now, it may

1112
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: not matter at the end of the day. I think

1113
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: it matters from a procedural standpoint. I think it matters

1114
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: from a principal standpoint when it comes to how you

1115
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: rank teams. So I'll be paying attention to that. Did

1116
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: you notice in the preseason, Hey, look, I thought Lagway

1117
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: was going to be the best quarterback in the league.

1118
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: So I had some swings and misses just like everyone

1119
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: else did in the preseason, and I've got to own that.

1120
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: But one thing I have said in this preseason and

1121
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: for really preseasons, even before Mike Elko got to college station,

1122
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: is Texas A and M's one of the best jobs

1123
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: in the country. Texas A and M can be one

1124
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: of the best programs in the country, and you can

1125
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: win a national title at Texas A and M. I

1126
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: have been roundly mocked for holding that opinion. I've been

1127
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: called an aggie Homer. People have alleged that I am

1128
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: bought and paid for by Billy Lucci himself, And I'm

1129
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: not denying the last part. If Lucci wants to disclose

1130
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: how he spends his money, that's his business. I'm not

1131
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: denying that Billy Lucci has bought and paid for me.

1132
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm not confirming it. I'm not commenting on it. But

1133
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: I just want to ask everyone again because one of

1134
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: my main talking points with A and M is there's

1135
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: a big difference between can't and have it. Cannot is

1136
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:37,919
Speaker 1: a lot different than have not. Okay, Jesse cannot dunk

1137
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: a basketball. I have not been to Alaska, but I

1138
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: could go whenever I wanted. So Texas A and M

1139
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: people say they cannot win a national title, I simply

1140
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: believe they have not won a national title, and more

1141
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: so than winning one, which takes a little bit of

1142
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: luck along with a lot of skill, just being in

1143
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: position to win one. They're there right now. They're there

1144
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: right now. So I just wanted to offer everyone one

1145
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: more opportunity. It is November ninth. I'm not guaranteeing anything here,

1146
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: That's not what this is about. I just want to

1147
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: make sure I'm understanding everyone correctly. Who keeps beating this

1148
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: drum or They have been. The drum's been pretty quiet

1149
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: as the season's going on, honestly, but up until this season,

1150
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people have told me they can't. They can't,

1151
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: they can't, they can't. Is anyone out there still have

1152
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: the opinion that Texas A and M football cannot win

1153
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: a national championship? Not in this particular year, I just

1154
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: mean in general. Now that you've seen sort of the

1155
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: first versions of what they're going to be under Mike Elco,

1156
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: this is year two. Now that you're starting to see

1157
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: that come into form. Now the microscope start, you turn

1158
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: a little knob there, starting to come into focus, and

1159
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: you see what's in the Petrie dish there. It's just

1160
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Mike Elico looking up at you. Now that you see that,

1161
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: are you still of the opinion that they can't or

1162
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: could it just be that they have not. I'm giving

1163
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: you an opportunity. That's what God created the comments section for.

1164
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: That's what God created the live chat for. If you're

1165
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: around you know, if you're watching the video and you're

1166
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,959
Speaker 1: a Texas A and M fan and you're like, hey,

1167
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: I like this channel. Thank you, thank Missouri fans. I

1168
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: doubt many of you chose to watch the show tonight,

1169
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: but if you have, thank you, look, just subscribe to

1170
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: the channel. That's all I ask. That's all I ask.

1171
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. And in the interest of giving away more

1172
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: free stuff. Now, this is where the form comes into play.

1173
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoor has been a longtime partner of

1174
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: our show, almost from day one. We came up here,

1175
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: and Academy has been right there with us. We appreciate them.

1176
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: I like I've done with flex Power, like I've done

1177
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: with Quick Trip. I go to Academy occasionally and I

1178
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: say it's time to give the folks some free stuff,

1179
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay. So here's how it works with Academy. Tonight,

1180
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna give away twenty p codes for twenty percent

1181
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: off your purchases perchai plural of purchase. My word, not theirs.

1182
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Now is when Jesse's going to put a form in

1183
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the live chat. He's going to put a form in

1184
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the show description if you want an opportunity to be

1185
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,640

1186

01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna give away twenty of those and we'll let you

1190
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: know tuesday. That's it. That's all Christmas shopping coming up.

1191
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Sure would be nice to pay twenty percent less than

01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: you were going to pay, and twenty of you will

1193
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: have that privilege if you fill out that form. That's it.

1194
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: That's it. Sad news here. It's not sad news because

1195
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: it's not news. It's nothing that's happened yet. Bradley, here's

1196
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: a good endpoint for you. Mike Norvel and FSU lost

1197
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: to Clemson last night twenty four to ten. I woke

1198
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: up this morning, looked at the eye Josh, and I

1199
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: saw some texts that led me to believe FSU was

1200
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna let Mike Norvel go today brings me no joy.

1201
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I like Mike Norvel, but as we've long established on

1202
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: this show, guys that I like get fired all the time.

1203
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: So I thought Mike Norvel was gonna get fired today.

1204
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: And as the morning went on, it looked like it

1205
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: became less and less likely. And as you can see,

1206
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: it's Sunday night, and Mike Norvel hasn't been fired, and

1207
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he will be today. I don't think

1208
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: he will be this week. They're gonna play Virginia Tech

1209
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: this Saturday, and so that is what it is for

1210
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: at least another week. And then they closed the season

1211
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: at NC State and at Florida. I heavily leaned towards

1212
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,919
Speaker 1: the fact that this was gonna happen, or the idea

1213
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: that this was gonna happen this morning. So I keep

1214
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: coming back to the same thing, and I think a

1215
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of Florida State fans are the same way. What

1216
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: are we waiting on if it's going to happen, if

1217
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: it's a foregone conclusion, if the buyout money doesn't really

1218
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: change all that much, if we wait to the end

1219
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: of the season, versus if we do it now and

1220
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: other programs are doing it and getting a head start

1221
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: on us, and we figure to hire from the same

1222
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: pool as they are. What are we waiting on him?

1223
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: And my answer is, I don't know. I've talked to

1224
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: quite a few people about this. I don't know what

1225
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Florida State's waiting on. I want to establish one more time,

1226
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't yell for dudes to get fired. I'm not

1227
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: yelling for Mike to get fired. My opinion doesn't matter here.

1228
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: The opinion of the people who do matter, big money people,

1229
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: administrative types, the athletic director at Florida State, all seem

1230
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to be that he is going to get fired. So

1231
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be fired eventually, why aren't you doing

1232
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: it immediately. It's not to save money, and from the

1233
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: sound of things, it's not for you to come up

1234
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: with the money. It sounded like if they needed the

1235
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: money today, they'd have the money today. So if that's true,

1236
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 1: then period on the end of the sentence. If it's

1237
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: not true, and you're still trying to come up with

1238
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the money, and by the way, they need about sixty

1239
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: million to fire him, if you haven't come up with

1240
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: the money, does that mean that there are some people

1241
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: who are holdouts on Mike Norvell who you think are

1242
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna be convinced between now and the end of the

1243
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: year that he needs to be let go, But they're

1244
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: not convinced yet, because I'm not sure if you're not

1245
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: already convinced, what a few more losses are going to

1246
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: do to convince you. Again. I don't tell people how

1247
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: to spend their tens of millions of dollars. I just

1248
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: find it very peculiar that anyone with reasonable enough intelligence

1249
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: to acquire a net worth of that size is ignorant

1250
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: enough to think the outcome of four quarters against NC

1251
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: State could fundamentally change your opinion on whether or not

1252
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: to pay a guy sixty million dollars to not coach

1253
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: for you anymore. If you think it's crazy to pay

1254
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: a guy not to coach for you, and you're not

1255
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it no matter what. Okay, that doesn't seem

1256
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: to be the score down there right now. The way

1257
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: it sounds is we've either got the money already and

1258
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: we're just waiting for the right time, which makes no sense,

1259
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: or we still got to get a few people on board.

1260
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: If they're not already on board, how are you gonna

1261
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: get him on board. So there's another school of thought

1262
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: around there that is the athletic director came out and

1263
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of indicated they were going to see it through

1264
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: to the end of the year a few weeks ago.

1265
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: So he wants to be a man of his word.

1266
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 1: I'm all for being a man of your word. That's

1267
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: why I am not forever saying things that you really

1268
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: have no business fulfilling on. You had no business given

1269
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the vote of confidence. The season was already down the drain,

1270
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: and you were highly likely to find yourself in this

1271
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: position where you need to make a move on a guy.

1272
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: So there's another school of thought around there that is

1273
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: they do have the money. They are on borrowed time,

1274
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: because every day they wait to do the inevitable is

1275
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: a day that other programs that have pulled the trigger

1276
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: get that much further ahead of them down the road

1277
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: of their coaching searches. Also, it wastes time that Mike

1278
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Norvel could be spending on his own search because there's

1279
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: a duty to mitigate in its contract, which, for those

1280
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: of you who don't speak a lawyer, means when Mike

1281
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: gets fired and we think it's a formality at this point,

1282
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: he has a duty to go look for another job.

1283
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Mike Norvel will get another job. He's a good head

1284
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: football coach, probably a level above where he needed to be.

1285
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: But Mike Norvel didn't accidentally succeed at Memphis, and he'll probably,

1286
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, go back to the G

1287
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: five level. Who knows, Maybe he goes back to Memphis.

1288
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: It's not open right now. It could be maybe he

1289
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: goes to North Texas, maybe he goes somewhere like that.

1290
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere as long as as your head

1291
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: coach is the point. And I got news for you.

1292
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Some of these programs out there that are gonna end

1293
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: up hiring the G five coaches, which would vacate a

1294
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: G five spot, they're not waiting until December. Okay. A

1295
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of these deals are being locked up behind the

1296
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: scenes right now. They may not be announced till December,

1297
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: but some of these G five openings, they're gonna know

1298
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: they have openings well before December, which means if your

1299
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: guy is going to be a candidate for those jobs,

1300
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and if the salary they're gonna pay your guy offsets

1301
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: the amount of buyout money you have to pay him,

1302
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: then you want him free as early as possible to

1303
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: go seek out future employment. Again, Am I missing anything here?

1304
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: Anyone at Florida State who wants to walk me through

1305
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: some logic that I'm missing, some critical information and context

1306
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: that I'm missing. It wouldn't be the first time. It's

1307
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: why I do these segments. A lot of times we'll

1308
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: do these kind of segments and we'll get hit up,

1309
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: sometimes straight up by the athletic director himself. I always

1310
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: appreciate the context and they'll lay it out for you,

1311
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it's their version of events or whatever.

1312
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard anything like that. I'm looking at

1313
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: it and best I can tell, Florida State knows they

1314
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: need to do something. It's past time to do it,

1315
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: and they haven't done yet. And it'd be one thing

1316
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: if they were on the fence about it. But it

1317
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,600
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like they're on the fence about it. It

1318
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: sounds like everybody down there, including Mike, I would assume,

1319
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: knows that this move is going to be made. So

1320
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: what are we waiting on? I have no idea. That's

1321
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: your Mike Norvell update for Sunday. But just think about

1322
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: what we're saying here. What we're saying is to go

1323
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: back twenty seven, eight nine, thirty three days ago math

1324
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I led the show and I said, this is gonna

1325
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: be the most insane coaching carousel you've ever seen. And

1326
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: here we are. We're on the precipice of having the

1327
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Florida State job come open. In addition to Florida being open,

1328
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: and Auburn being open, and Penn State being open, and

1329
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: LSU being open, Arkansas is open, Oklahoma State is open. Also,

1330
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: think about the domino effect. If and I'm just throwing

1331
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: this out there, I am just you know what, I'm

1332
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: gonna make up such a random example that you know

1333
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm just making it up. Let's say PJ. Fleck, We're

1334
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: to take the LSU job. Here's a hot rumor. I'm

1335
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: just using this as an example. If Fleck took the

1336
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: LSU job, that means the Minnesota job is open, which

1337
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: begins the chain reaction of the jobs that come open

1338
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: because other jobs are getting filled. So this is a

1339
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: ripple effect that lasts for weeks and weeks and weeks.

1340
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: And that's not even to mention what it does to

1341
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: the coordinator market. That's not even to mention that. So

1342
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: I also look, I know that a lot of you

1343
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: get into this, like there's this whole cottage industry of

1344
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: people who just like talking about hot seat stuff. I

1345
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: don't like talking about it because I like a lot

1346
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: of these guys. I like Mike Norvell. So I hate

1347
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: that this is the way it is, but it's the

1348
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: way it is right now. Virginia Tech open, you see

1349
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: LA's open, Stanfords open. It's crazy time, all right. They're

1350
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 1: watching us in Saint Augustine, Florida, Round Rock, Texas, Billings, Montana.

1351
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so very much. I've got some added takeaways.

1352
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Let me react to the ap pole coming up. I

1353
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: got some best bets. The ram Innudle Express is on fire.

1354
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: We look to continue our winning wasts tonight. So we

1355
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of show left strap in some added

1356
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: takeaways from week eleven. Georgia just kind of went to

1357
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: Starkville and found out Brandon Walker was there, and that

1358
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: was all she over for Mississippi State. They're not going

1359
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: to win a game with Brandon Walker in attendance. Everyone

1360
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: knows that. Jeff Leby probably knows it, but it brings

1361
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: notoriety the entire barstool ecosystem descended on Starkville, but so

1362
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: did a loss. So I don't know. Man, Georgia forty

1363
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: one Mississippi State twenty one, kind of a secret splattering.

1364
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 1: I regret in retrospect that I did not announce the

1365
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: splattering when it was Georgia thirty eight Mississippi State seven.

1366
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: Georgia went over three hundred yards on the ground, just

1367
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: all out assault on the ground. Gunner Stockton for all

1368
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: the rushing success yesterday, if you watch him now, I

1369
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: saw our buddy Jake Row make this point, and I

1370
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: thought it was a really good point. When you watch

1371
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton now versus early in the year, he's so

1372
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: much more quick and decisive with the ball, which is

1373
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,440
Speaker 1: what you hope to see with first year starters at quarterback.

1374
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: Like the best programs tend to have their guys continue

1375
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:59,879
Speaker 1: to slowly sort of maybe in a linear way, just scale.

1376
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's sometimes it's accuracy, sometimes it's completion percentage. Sometimes

1377
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 1: it's decision making, like whatever that little hole in your

1378
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 1: game is, just shrink the hole. And I think Gunner

1379
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Stockton has done that quite favorably. Immunity so Georgia looked

1380
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: really good, and that had look again I don't want

1381
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: to gloss this over just because they handled business that

1382
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: was a dangerous spot for them. They were coming off

1383
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: the Florida game, emotional last minute when they go on

1384
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: the road, right before Texas comes to town. Let down, spot,

1385
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: look ahead spot, all the stuff that you always make

1386
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: a big deal about in college football. Will credit Georgia

1387
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: for rendering all of that totally irrelevant. The ACC rendered

1388
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: itself almost irrelevant yesterday. It was a nightmare day for

1389
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: the ACC. So Wake Forest beat Virginia sixteen to nine.

1390
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Cal beat Louisville in overtime, twenty nine to twenty six.

1391
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Yukon beat Duke. Two of those were on the Roman looks.

1392
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I think Yukon was one of our best bets. Yes,

1393
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: they were, thirty seven, thirty four. Jim Moore junior just

1394
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of quietly getting the job done at Yukon. Not

1395
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: hearing his name mentioned in coaching searches. I assume there's

1396
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 1: a reason. I assume there's a reason some places care

1397
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: more about things than just winning. You know, if anyone

1398
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: can win, can you win the press conference? Actually more

1399
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: can win the press conference for you too. Although his

1400
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: press conferences have laid up, there have left a little

1401
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 1: bit to be desired. Do you know who the offensive

1402
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: coordinator at Cal is right now? It is one Brian Harson,

1403
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: whose stock looks better and better every day once you

1404
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,799
Speaker 1: see how the Hugh Freeze era played out at Auburn.

1405
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: But I digress. Brian Harson calling the exact plays that

1406
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: have worked against him in years past just brilliance. And

1407
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: you think about being Cal. Okay, Cal flies from Berkeley,

1408
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: it is Charlottesville, North Carolina. They're in overtime. Think about

1409
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: the difference. I talk to Brian Hart last night. I'm like,

1410
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: think about the difference in that call in overtime, and

1411
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: it either goes one way or it goes the other way.

1412
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: And you're about to fly six or seven hours back

1413
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: across the country with either a win or a loss

1414
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: depending on the outcome of one play. It went their way.

1415
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: So what's happening in the ACC now, Well, the picture

1416
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,560
Speaker 1: is anyone's guess. I have no clue what's going to

1417
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: happen in the ACC. There are five teams with one

1418
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 1: conference loss, and none of them look all that great.

1419
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 1: Miami and Louisville have two losses, and I think from

1420
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: a power ratings perspective, We probably have them as the

1421
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: best power rated teams in the conference, but that doesn't

1422
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: matter because they've both lost a couple of conference games.

1423
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: So here's what's happening. SMU and Louisville are going to

1424
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: play each other, A Pitt and Georgia Tech play each other.

1425
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: Pitt also plays Miami, Virginia plays Duke. So yeah, to

1426
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: a certain extent, this will sort itself out. But I

1427
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: think right now yet, Georgia Tech's got the best odds

1428
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: to win the league title, and do is number two?

1429
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Duke is Jesse or they have three or a four

1430
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: loss team. They're a four loss team right now, but

1431
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: only one of those losses is in conference. Virginia has

1432
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: two losses to conference teams, but only one of those

1433
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: is a conference loss. It's a mess. It's a complete mess,

1434
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: and somehow, some way, a conference champion will emerge. We'll

1435
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: talk more about that later. Vanderbilt beat Auburn, and there

1436
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: are some paper Popper stats here forty five thirty eight.

1437
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: We were flying back into Nashville last night. We flew

1438
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,799
Speaker 1: right over Commodore Stadium and I'm looking down thinking to myself,

1439
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: is that thirty eight on the board for Auburn, Answer yes,

1440
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: did they just lose anyway? Answer yes, Cole Kublick with

1441
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: one of the stats of the year here. Vanderbilt is

1442
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: now one and one hundred and seventy all time when

1443
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: allowing thirty eight points or more. What Cornelius Vanderbilt himself

1444
01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:00,879
Speaker 1: was alive the last time that happened. DJ Diurkin defensive

1445
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: coordinator takes over the team and they suddenly catch fire

1446
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: offensively but can't stop anything defensively. Vanderbilt is the most

1447
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: sneaky playoff contender right now. They are so close. They

1448
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: got a bye week, they got Kentucky, and then they

1449
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee and that last weekend of the season.

1450
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: There are a few games setting up Georgia, Georgia Tech,

1451
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 1: Texas Texas A and M Vandy Tennessee. These games could

1452
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: decide playoff spots. There could be so much on the line.

1453
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: Some of those are Friday games, some of those are

1454
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: Saturday games. Odds to make the playoff right now, Vanderbilt

1455
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: is plus two thirty five. Those are not terribly long

1456
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: odds at all. By comparison, Georgia's minus three thousand. Vegas

1457
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: Feeling vandul Feeling were really good about Georgia right now,

1458
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: and good for them, good for them Nebraska. I wanted

1459
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: to point this out right quick. Will Compton Memorial portion

1460
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 1: of the show, He's still TJ Latif brings Nebraska back

1461
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: to life. Last night he went out to the Rose Bowl.

1462
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: He's from Compton, so it was one of those classic storybook,

1463
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: come back home and win type performances. He was thirteen

1464
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: or fifteen, two five through the air, added someone on

1465
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 1: the ground, had three touchdowns passing. How do you feel

1466
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: about Nebraska? Nebraska is one of the teams in college football.

1467
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: There's this chunk of teams that are just good every year,

1468
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: not very good, not elite, they're good and in this

1469
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: ten or trash mentality that a lot of people have,

1470
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 1: you're either a playoff team or you suck. You're either

1471
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 1: ten or your trash. There are several rungs on any ladder.

1472
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: You can go buy one an academy right now. You'll

1473
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: see there are many rungs on it. Okay, so Nebraska's

1474
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: not nine or ten, but they're not one or two either.

1475
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: They're just like rung six. Right now, they're seven to three.

1476
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: They got a game at Penn State and a game

1477
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: against Iowa. They need to win one of those games

1478
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: to go over their season win total. So I know

1479
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: things seem disappointing right now, people like me who may

1480
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: or may not but definitely did predict Nebraska to make

1481
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: the playoff. Yes, the season has fallen a little bit

1482
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: short of my expectation, but they would have beaten USC

1483
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: if the quarterback didn't go down, so they'd still be

1484
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: right there in the playoff hunt. So all I'm saying

1485
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: is it's not my fault. That's all I'm saying. And

1486
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: we'll see how they do these final two games of

1487
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: the season. But good for them last night. But that's

1488
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: not why you tuned in, is it. That's not a

1489
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin special. That was just a good competitive game

1490
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: out on the West Coast. Tim Branda on the play

1491
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: by play, singing, I'll be there by the spinners going

1492
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: to break. Full credit to Uncle Tim for that. But no, friends,

1493
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: that's not where I want to take your attention, because

1494
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: there was something that happened in Lexington, Kentucky last night.

1495
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what you thought was going to happen

1496
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: when Florida went to play Kentucky. Florida was favored by

1497
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: three and a half in the game till you know

1498
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: what you're thinking it could be a close game, right,

1499
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: We thought we would get a close game. Instead, what

1500
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: we got is this week Sarah mcgloughlin special Kentucky thirty

1501
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: eight Florida seven. What I'm about to say could actually

1502
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: be the title of a Sarah mcgloughlin song. It could

1503
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: be called Kentucky didn't punt cause Kentucky didn't punt. DJ

1504
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Lagway got benched in the game after three more interceptions.

1505
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: No Florida wide receiver went over thirty yards. Florida as

1506
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: long as drive was thirty five yards. I have here

1507
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: The shocking Florida drive chart goes a little something like this.

1508
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: These are the lyrics. Interception, punt, touchdown of thirteen yards.

1509
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: That's how long the drive was. This is when it

1510
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:56,799
Speaker 1: really gets bad. Fumble, three and out, interception, interception, halftime adjustments, punt,

1511
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: turnover on downs, turnover on downs. That's the end of

1512
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: the game. Mark Stoops owns Florida. He doesn't need to

1513
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: take the job. He already owns Florida. He is four

1514
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: and one in his last five and stat of the

1515
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: evening earmuffs in Gainesville. This was Kentucky's biggest margin of

1516
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: victory over the Gators since the nineteen fifties. They watched

1517
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the game in black and white. Florida heads back to

1518
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,799
Speaker 1: Gainesville black and blue. They are the Sarah McLaughlin special

1519
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: for Week eleven. It brings me no joy. It brings

1520
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: me no joy. Let's move on, just brutal, brutal, brutal times.

1521
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: The AP pole has dropped. Do you hear that? There?

1522
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: It is? It just dropped right there, generated by flex power.

1523
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: We appreciate them for generating the AP pole and they

1524
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: deliver it to us papers still hot. Let's take a

1525
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: look at what we have, because we have some interesting occurrences.

1526
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I would say in the twenty four and twenty five

1527
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: positions where USF has mysteriously re entered the AP pole

1528
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: at number twenty five, and I approve James Madison is

1529
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: number twenty four. Now, just a week ago, I said

1530
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: the JP pole power ratings, not rankings. We had JMU

1531
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: as the highest power rated G five team, and people scoffed, Well,

1532
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 1: now they're the highest ranked G five team, So what

1533
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: shall people say now? Pitts at number twenty three since

1534
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: heus twenty two. Tennessee is twenty one, So I want

1535
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: you to look at who number twenty is there. Virginia

1536
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: is at number twenty now. They did drop eight spots.

1537
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: I would take every one of the teams listed twenty

1538
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: one through twenty five and ranked them ahead of Virginia.

1539
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 1: Virginia was holding on by a thread, but that's okay

1540
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: because they did deserve to be ranked as high as

1541
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: they were because they only had one loss. And unlike

1542
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:57,759
Speaker 1: power ratings, this is merit based. You kind of sort

1543
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: of somewhat are what your record says you are in

1544
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: rankings land. But if your resume is really hollow, if

1545
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: you lack high level wins and even against subpar teams,

1546
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: you're just kind of skating by by the skin of

1547
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: your teeth. That's fine, but you're really on a bubble,

1548
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: and once you lose a second game and that bubble deflates,

1549
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: you should disappear. Virginia should be nowhere close to number

1550
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:21,719
Speaker 1: twenty right now. In my mind, there should be nowhere

1551
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: near where they are right now. Louisville at nineteen I

1552
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: got less of a problem with They dropped five spots.

1553
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: I got less of a problem with it Louisville faced

1554
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback last night. Virginia did not. All

1555
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: due respect to Wake Forest, Virginia did not. So Louisville

1556
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: at nineteen. I just think Louis's a better team. So

1557
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: that may be a little bias coming in. Michigan at

1558
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: eighteen sneaky, sneaky team right now. If you don't believe me,

1559
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 1: let me just float this out there to you. Michigan's

1560
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: at eighteen. You know they still got the Ohio State

1561
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: game coming up. Michigan's a two lost team, right so

1562
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: you've kind of dismissed them. When you talk about the

1563
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten, it's all Ohio State, Indiana, Ohio State, Indiana,

1564
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: maybe Oregon. Well, one of Michigan's losses was at Oklahoma.

1565
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: There are other losses, usc only one of those teams

1566
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: is a Big Ten team. That means Michigan has one

1567
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: conference loss. What happens if they beat Ohio State and

1568
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 1: they are a one loss Big Ten team with a

1569
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: head to head tiebreaker over Ohio State, who's going to Indianapolis?

1570
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Has anyone even considered this or are we slipping into

1571
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: this coma again where since we think Ohio State's the

1572
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: better team and there'll be a big point spread favorite.

1573
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: We're just gonna like project them past Michigan. I've done

1574
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,799
Speaker 1: that in the past four years. I cannot allow myself

1575
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: to slip into that coma for a fifth consecutive year,

1576
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,879
Speaker 1: So we have to consider this as a possibility. USC

1577
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: is seventeen. Usc is still in the hunt for a

1578
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: playoff spot, and the Big Ten championship picture is still

1579
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: a little muddy, So let's just keep an eye on that.

1580
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Miami at sixteen. Miami was what eighteen the other night

1581
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: I think in the playoff rankings Jesse, So we got

1582
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: to find out is Miami gonna run the score up

1583
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: on everybody first? That's a big first question. They did

1584
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: yesterday against fran Brown and Syracuse in that order. If

1585
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,600
Speaker 1: they keep doing that, how high can they climb? Like?

1586
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: How high is the committee going to let them climb back?

1587
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: We'll see. Sixteen is where the AP has them this week,

1588
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 1: we'll see where the committee has in. Utah's at fifteen,

1589
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: very very important to keep an eye on them for

1590
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: at large purpi plural of purpose. Utah's three remaining games

1591
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: I believe are Baylor and the two Kansas schools, So

1592
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: not an easy trio of games to close out the season.

1593
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 1: If they win all three of those, they're differing schools

1594
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: of thought about where they'll land on the playoff bubble.

1595
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: But I think a ten to two Utah is going

1596
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: to be very much in play independent of what happens

1597
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: ahead of them. Now, if they have some chaos happened

1598
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: ahead of them, they're very much in play. But Utah

1599
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: at fifteen, I'm good with Georgia Tech fourteen. I'm good

1600
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,839
Speaker 1: with Vandy's at thirteen. There's such a quiet playoff contender.

1601
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: And remember this is November. Now, this is November. So

1602
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna run out of gas, now's the time.

1603
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: And they survived against Auburn last night. That's all that

1604
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: matters right now because they've got quality enough wins where

1605
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: they just need to check the box every week. Check

1606
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,799
Speaker 1: the box. Do it against Kentucky. Just check the box.

1607
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: It's more than Florida could do last night and get

1608
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: to that final game at Neeland, which is for them,

1609
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: a play in game. Brigham Young is twelve. I don't

1610
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: think they dropped far enough. Now. It's a running it's

1611
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 1: a running theory that I hate Brigham Young. I don't

1612
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I could not care less one way or the other.

1613
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 1: I have no natural opposition to Brigham Young. I think

1614
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: as long as they were winning, they deserve to be

1615
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 1: higher than this. They deserve to be top ten, which

1616
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 1: they were, But much like with Virginia, they don't have

1617
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: the big wins to hang their hat onto the degree

1618
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: that like some of the teams in the top ten do. Now.

1619
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: The Utah win was a very good win, a very

1620
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: very good win, so I'm not taking that away from them,

1621
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: but I believe because of the style of the game

1622
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 1: that was played yesterday, it was a very very convincing

1623
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: win by Texas Tech and the fact that you don't

1624
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: have these other data points just lined up in your favor.

1625
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 1: I thought they'd dropped further. They only dropped four spots.

1626
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: So that's the ap What we got to wait on

1627
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: is for Tuesday night, how far will the playoff committee

1628
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: drop them, because we saw like when Georgia Tech lost

1629
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago or two weeks ago, whatever

1630
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: it was, a couple is two. Georgia Tech dropped a

1631
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: little bit, Miami dropped a big time and that was

1632
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: miami second loss. Brigham Young are only one loss, but

1633
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: I would argue Miami's got better wins, including one against

1634
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 1: Notre Dame that's better than anything Brigham Young had. I

1635
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: just wonder how far I think the committee may drop

1636
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: them further than the AP did. Keeping a close eye

1637
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: on that. Oklahoma at eleven and then we get top ten.

1638
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: Texas is right there ahead of Oklahoma. So the AP

1639
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: is essentially doing what the playoff committee did, which is

1640
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: putting them back to back. Texas gets the edge as

1641
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: they should because they've got the head to head edge

1642
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dames at nine and their last test is this week.

1643
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if they lose anything beyond this week, then

1644
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: they ought not being the conversation to begin with. They

1645
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: go to Pitt, game day is going to be there.

1646
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 1: They are a ten and a half point favorite, I

1647
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: think on the road at Pitt. They're at number nine.

1648
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 1: Right now, they've got a lot of separation from Miami,

1649
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: who has a head to head win over them. So

1650
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: until further notice, that head to head win is not

1651
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: going to be a deciding data point. Think what you

1652
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:36,839
Speaker 1: will about that, it just is what it is. Texas

1653
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 1: Tech is at number eight. They jumped one spot. Oregon

1654
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: is they're at seven, and they or no, Texas Tech

1655
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 1: jumped one spot. Oregon's at seven. They dropped a spot.

1656
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: They went on the road beat a top twenty playoff team.

1657
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: At least the AP didn't have Iowa ranked. The playoff

1658
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: committee did. Oregon went on the road, beat them and

1659
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: dropped a spot. I got no clue. Anyone looking for

1660
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 1: an explanation on this show, I got no clue. Ole

1661
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 1: miss Is at number six. I have no idea why

1662
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: Organ dropped ole miss Is at number six, and then

1663
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 1: the top five is unchanged. It looks like an Oklahoma

1664
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: election county map. On election I just all read Georgia, Bama,

1665
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: an M, Indiana, Ohio state, So Indiana state at number two,

1666
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: A and M still at number three. I would switch

1667
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: those two right now. I would put an M at

1668
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: number two. I think the playoff committee may very well

1669
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: jump A and M over Indiana. And that's not punishment

1670
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: for Indiana as much as it is credit for A

1671
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: and M going on the road against the top twenty

1672
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: ranked team, top twenty five ranked team and really kind

1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: of handling them like that's another data point on a resume,

1674
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: and I want you to pay attention. Keep this up

1675
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: for a second. Bradley immunity. We keep getting closer and

1676
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 1: closer to one of the chaos scenarios we pointed out

1677
01:28:56,640 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: the other night, the SEC flood conundrums. We are sitting

1678
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: here on November ninth, We're going into week twelve. We

1679
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: still have seven SEC teams in the top sixteen, all

1680
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: of them with two losses or fewer. A and M, Bama, Georgia, Ole, Miss, Texas,

1681
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: Oh You, and Vandy all have two or fewer losses.

1682
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: Some of them play each other, but like, for example,

1683
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 1: Texas goes to Georgia this week, Texas can beat Georgia,

1684
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,840
Speaker 1: and Georgia didn't go anywhere. They're still in it. You know,

1685
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: Vandy like goes to Tennessee, so Tennessee could knock Vandy out.

1686
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: But like there Bama plays Oklahoma this week. Oh you

1687
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 1: could go to Bama and win. It does knocked Bama

1688
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 1: out of anything. Bama would just be a two loss

1689
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 1: team that is in play for an at large spot.

1690
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: But like if Texas and know You were to go

1691
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 1: on the road and win this week, it'd be a

1692
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 1: huge story. First off. Secondly, the four combined teams in

1693
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 1: that scenario, all of them are still alive. So if

1694
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 1: you have Bama beat o Lahoma. If you have Georgia

1695
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: beat Texas and give each of them or one of

1696
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: them a third loss, then they're on maybe the outside

1697
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: looking in. But just everyone keeps thinking this thing is

1698
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 1: going to sort itself out, and maybe it will. We're

1699
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: running out of weeks for it to sort itself out,

1700
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. You're running out of week's until

1701
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: Christmas arrives. You know you have shopping to do. I

1702
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: am here to help you. Peytstatematerial dot Com has the

1703
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: best Christmas merch in town. Tis the Season collection up

1704
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: right now. I have always told you the Rama Noodle

1705
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,679
Speaker 1: Express T shirt is our best seller. That is changing

1706
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: because the Merry Christmas You Filthy Casual sweater is skyrocketing

1707
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 1: up the sales charts, and our other Christmas sweaters are too.

1708
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 1: So the tis the Season collection is perhaps the greatest

1709
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 1: thing we've done in the young history of the petstatematerial

1710
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: dot Com store. Here it is right there over my shoulder.

1711
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 1: Tis the season to be chuggy? Are you kidding me?

1712
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: How do you not wear that? I don't know. Let's

1713
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: move on so on Sunday nights now, every Sunday night

1714
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: until selection Sunday. I got to update my playoff predictions

1715
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: because I want to be right on this, and I've

1716
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 1: decided the only way to be right is to update

1717
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: my predictions every week until the last week, in which

1718
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,600
Speaker 1: case I'm bound to be right Eventually. You want to

1719
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: know how long this season is. I took it upon

1720
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: myself to remind everyone of how long the college football

1721
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 1: season is. Earlier today, I took to Twitter at Josh

1722
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: pat CFP, and I said, the college football calendar is

1723
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: mental warfare. So you're thinking to yourself, probably, oh man,

1724
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: we're almost to the finish line, right. It's we're second

1725
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: week of November. We're almost to the finish line. Do

1726
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 1: you realize that for the two teams that will play

1727
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: in the National title Game, tonight marks the midway point

1728
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:57,560
Speaker 1: between Week one and the National Championship Game. It's insane.

1729
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 1: We feel like the seasons on over. For the two

1730
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 1: teams that will play on January nineteenth, we are seventy

1731
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 1: one days away from that, and we are seventy days

1732
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 1: removed from the Saturday of Week one. That's how long

1733
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,719
Speaker 1: the college football season is now. I'm telling you most

1734
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: of these programs are not equipped for it mentally. That's

1735
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: the one thing Ohio State mastered last year, and I

1736
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: think Ohio State is probably doing the best job of

1737
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: anyone in the country of continuing to have mastered is

1738
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 1: understanding how long you have to be in football mode,

1739
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: locked in mentally, stay in healthy, physically peaking at the

1740
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 1: right time. How long you have to keep meeting those parameters.

1741
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Cause there are teams that are going to make the

1742
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 1: playoff that will be eliminated over a month before the

1743
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: National Championship game happens. I even feel that way when

1744
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 1: I watch March Madness, Like the teams that make just

1745
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the round of sixty four, sixty eight, whatever it is now,

1746
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: but they get eliminated on the first day. Think about

1747
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,759
Speaker 1: how long the game is between the day those teams

1748
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 1: got eliminated and the night of the National Championship. Or

1749
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: in baseball, you get eliminated in the wild card round

1750
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,719
Speaker 1: and then you watch the NLDS and NLCS and World

1751
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: Series play out, and you think to yourself, dude, if

1752
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: we would have made it that far, we would have

1753
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 1: still been playing all this time. That would have been forever.

1754
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 1: It feels like forever ago we got eliminated. So just

1755
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. In the ACC, I have to

1756
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 1: adjust this because I have to every five minutes. I

1757
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 1: have no idea I encourage anyone to properly handicap the ACC.

1758
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,639
Speaker 1: Right now, I'll just take Georgia Tech over Duke because

1759
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 1: they have the two best odds to win the conference

1760
01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: right now. Again, I can't stress how little confidence I

1761
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: have in my ACC championship pick, unless Georgia Tech goes

1762
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 1: on to win it, in which case I will claim

1763
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: that I told you so. In the Big Twelve, still

1764
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 1: got Texas Tech winning it. I'm gonna put Cincinnati in there.

1765
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in the Big Twelve championship game. It could very

1766
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 1: well be Brigham Young, but give me Texas Tech over Cincinnati.

1767
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 1: I got Texas Tech winning the conference no matter what.

1768
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: That's the important takeaway. I will still take Bama over

1769
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 1: A and M in the SEC championship game because I

1770
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: predicted it preseason and Bama is still Bama and A

1771
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: and M have very similar odds right now. Bama's got

1772
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: slightly better odds. Let's just it's gonna take a little

1773
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 1: bit to pull me off of my preseason prediction. Okay,

1774
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:26,240
Speaker 1: I got to cling to one of them. So the

1775
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Bama pick is what I'm clinging to right now. But yeah,

1776
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very competitive game if it happens. Big

1777
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: Ten still got Ohio State over Indiana, so I haven't

1778
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:38,719
Speaker 1: changed anything there. As for the way that I would

1779
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 1: see the playoffs seeded. Right now, we have got Ohio

1780
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 1: State beating Indiana in the Big Ten championship game. Here's

1781
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the one change I've made. I am projecting A and

1782
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: M to lose a game somewhere, maybe the Texas game.

1783
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm predicting to lose a game

1784
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 1: somewhere right So that affect how the seeding is going

1785
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 1: to happen, because I still got A and M and

1786
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: Obama in Atlanta. Because I have that, I think Ohio

1787
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 1: State and Alabama would be one two. I think Indiana

1788
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: loser of the Big Ten title game would be the

1789
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,920
Speaker 1: three seed, and A and M loser of the SEC

1790
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 1: championship game would be the four seed. Remember, the rules

1791
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: this year are different. It's not the highest four ranked

1792
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: conference champs to get the buys, it's just the highest

1793
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:28,640
Speaker 1: four ranked teams. So I think we are looking at

1794
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: overwhelming odds right now that the four teams that get

1795
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 1: the buys are the two Big tens and the two secs,

1796
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: and that's what I'd project right now, Texas Tech winning

1797
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. There's going to be some debate on this.

1798
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 1: I think the committee is going to reward that data

1799
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 1: point of winning a conference title to vault them above

1800
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: some of the at large SEC teams. I will see

1801
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: that's going to be a strong debate point. But I

1802
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,759
Speaker 1: would put Texas Tech five right now. I got Georgia six,

1803
01:35:56,920 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: right behind them at large team Oregon at seven, give

1804
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: me Ole Miss at eight, Notre Dame sitting there at

1805
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: number nine. Here's where it gets really interesting because there

1806
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a shelf drop off after

1807
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:15,599
Speaker 1: number nine. Texas. I believe if they split the Georgia

1808
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 1: and Texas A and M games, and especially if they

1809
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 1: lose this Saturday close in Athens, but they close the

1810
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: season with a win over at that point undefeated A

1811
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,560
Speaker 1: and M, I think Texas may slip in as a

1812
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: three loss team. So in order to shoot that down,

1813
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to give me a resume that's gonna

1814
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: definitively disprove that not in your eyes, in the eyes

1815
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: of the committee, I think the committee may give strong

1816
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 1: consideration to three loss Texas. You may think, well, Oklahoma

1817
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:46,640
Speaker 1: would be there too, right, yes, but Texas has the

1818
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:50,520
Speaker 1: head to head over them. So I'm like pencil projecting

1819
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 1: Texas in at the ten seed. Georgia Tech acc champ

1820
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,639
Speaker 1: at eleven. USF is my G five team that I've

1821
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 1: got locking down the twelve seed right now, here's what

1822
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 1: that would mean in terms of the old bracket hand

1823
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 1: drawn right here in front of me. That would give

1824
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 1: us Notre Dame at ole Miss first round. Can you

1825
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 1: imagine Oxford, Mississippi, with Marcus Freeman and company rolling into town,

1826
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 1: and we got USF at Texas Tech. So Lubbock gets

1827
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 1: a home playoff game, Texas at Oregon in the first round,

1828
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 1: pure unadult traded cinema right there, and Georgia Tech at Georgia.

1829
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I didn't plan it this way. The

1830
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,560
Speaker 1: committee swears they will not take into account former matchups,

1831
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:38,200
Speaker 1: So if it were to play out this way, the

1832
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 1: Committee and I have no reason to adopt these people.

1833
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: The committee says they will not hesitate to send Georgia

1834
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Tech to Athens. So here's how I would have those

1835
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 1: playing out. I would have Ole Miss over Notre Dame

1836
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,719
Speaker 1: at home. That one was really that's a coin flip.

1837
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 1: I got ole Miss going on to face Ohio State.

1838
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 1: I have got Texas Tech beating South Florida to go

1839
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 1: on to face Texas A and M. So we've got

1840
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: A and M Texas Tech in a second round game.

1841
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 1: Give me Oregon over Texas, Texas on the roads. Tough

1842
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 1: spot for him this year. Give me Oregon over Texas,

1843
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 1: and give me Georgia over Georgia Tech. So are quarter

1844
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: final matchups heavy hitters here? We got three sec big

1845
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,799
Speaker 1: tens here. Gimme ole Miss Ohio State with Ohio State winning,

1846
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 1: give me A and M Texas Tech with A and

1847
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: M winning, Give me Alabama Oregon with Alabama winning. And

1848
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: I am going to take Georgia over Indiana. That will

1849
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: be controversial, That's okay. Georgia is peaking at the right

1850
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,639
Speaker 1: time in this scenario. If they're not, it's a moot

1851
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: point and they won't even be facing Georgia here. So

1852
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 1: final four, I got to take Ohio State over A

1853
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: and M. I've got to take Alabama over Georgia, and

1854
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 1: Obama's my preseason pick. So until there is indisputable evidence whatever,

1855
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: that would be that knocks me off of that pick.

1856
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with my preseason pick. Now. If I

1857
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 1: were picking this from scratch, would I pick Alabama to

1858
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 1: win the national title? Right now? I can't exactly confirm that,

1859
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:13,440
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to peel that preseason national championship

1860
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 1: prediction from my cold dead hands. And I am very much,

1861
01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: very much warm handed right now. I'm looking at that

1862
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: bracket though. That first round. I mean that Notre Dame

1863
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:27,599
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss and Texas at Oregon in the first

1864
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:32,640
Speaker 1: round is unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. If you would like to

1865
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: disagree with me, you don't just have to type angrily

1866
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,760
Speaker 1: in the comment section. You can, Okay, that's your constitutional right,

1867
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: as long as you don't use the band words. You can.

1868
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 1: But what you really can do is you can go

1869
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: to FanDuel right now and just bet the futures. You

1870
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 1: could bet the odds market right now. If you think

1871
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: that Duke's gonna win the ACC Championship, be my guest,

1872
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: go bet it right now. New sign ups at FanDuel

1873
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty dollars in bonus bets if

1874
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 1: you bet five and you win. That simple we have

1875
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: been rolling. We have Romandel Express seven and four again yesterday,

1876
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: so fourteen and eight. I think past two weeks we

1877
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: are rolling. We're just kind of continuing to build distance

1878
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: between ourselves and that five hundred mark. Continuing to build distance,

1879
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: continuing to sell the Romanuel Express T shirt there in

1880
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 1: the paint statemateial dot com store as well. But FanDuel

1881
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 1: has your hookup team props in there, Heisman bets in there.

1882
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza's odds took a little bit of a bump yesterday.

1883
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: I saw that. So FanDuel is where you can go

1884
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: for all that, and FanDuel is also where you can

1885
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 1: go to bet the Romanudel Express itself. And I am

1886
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: adding our first best bet of week twelve. We are

1887
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 1: going right back to the well with Coastal Carolina. They're

1888
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: at Georgia Southern Coastal is plus two and a half.

1889
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,759
Speaker 1: We like it. I would imagine we'll add somewhere between

1890
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: eight nine ten more bets as the week goes on,

1891
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 1: but that is our first one. We usually do pretty

1892
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:01,560
Speaker 1: good with those first bets. However, I want to emphasize

1893
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 1: these bets are not meant to be cherry picked. And

1894
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: they are not meant to be bet disproportionately, bet them

1895
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 1: all or don't bet any of them and bet them

1896
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:11,280
