1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal ull.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: For me, I'm a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: be happy.

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 3: You want to be happy for day Edith State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 4: Whoo whoom?

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: And Dan and tie Dan Rubinstein. We've got one big

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: preview episode left. As you know, we did a bunch

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: of conference previews over the last six weeks or so.

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: We even did a look back at our preview episodes

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: on the episode that dropped on Thursday with our friend

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: Brett Siancia from Pick six previews. We have been teasing

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this one though, for weeks, if not months, and this

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: is where the robber meets the road. This is where

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: it matters. Playoff predictions, a few other predictions. We're even

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: going to sprinkle in some fantasy things at the end

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: of this episode. We got verballer predictions as well. We

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: have a reverb segment that we're going to play today.

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: This is a jam packed show. Well right here on

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: the soliverbal Welcome back, my friend. How are you today?

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: I'm great. So this is a receipts episode. This is

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: an accountability episode, as the gen Zers like to say, receipts.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: So we are putting our receipts out into the ether.

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: If it turns out that we are right, you gotta

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: give us our hold on. I'm looking at my gen

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: Z Legal pad flowers, Tie, you gotta give us our flowers.

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: And if not, you can say we are absolutely sus

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: And that's fine with me, Ty, because it takes a

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: certain amount of courage to do what we're doing here today.

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: And it's the courage to be wrong, right, it's the

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: courage to be Desmond Howard love Desmond Howard putting out

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: his like Pitt Baylor in the college football Final four?

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: What was A and M Pitt Baylor? I forget the

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: fourth team and it was so good. But you know what,

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: it's courageous, Tie, to go against the current. So he

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: was trying to be an intellectual college football salmon, just

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: swimming against the trying to spawn good ideas about well,

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: who's going to end up in the college football final

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: for And that's what we're doing here today, Ty, We're

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: trying to be our inner college football Chinook. You said

42
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: a lot there. I agree with all of it. Thank

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: you for being you, and thank you, Kindverballerhood for stopping

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: on back here.

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Hit follow hit subscribes that you don't miss any of

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: these episodes. We've been getting questions from new folks Dan

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: left and right. How often do we record? What type

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: of thing do we do during the season? Three episodes

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a week as we have for many years over now Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday,

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning is the recap. Actually, if you're watching out

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: on YouTube now, you can watch the recap live every

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night at midnight. We're going to start that up

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: after week one, not week zero. Tuesday episodes, bigger picture stuff,

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: whatever we didn't get to on the Saturday Night slash

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning recap, we talk about it there. We also

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 1: talk about bigger picture narratives. And then Thursday, of course

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Thursdays when we make our picks, we preview the week ahead.

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: We do all sorts of goofy stuff on that Thursday episode,

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: though I think we get more people listening to the

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: reactions episode. The Thursday one is really where you and

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: I go a little hog wild and we get creative

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: with how we're previewing the week ahead. So that's what

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: you have to look forward to.

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: We've got, you know, what are the weekly nicknames? I

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: don't even remember year to year, we've had like Skinemac Saturday,

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: Centaurs Saturday. Right, we took the idea that ESPN is

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: like Separation Saturday, and we just make a bunch of

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: U turns and go off of buts about right. Yeah,

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: that's fine.

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: That's what you have to look forward to. If you

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: hit the fall, if you hit the subscribe, if you've

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: already done that and you like the show rate review,

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: all that stuff goes a very long long way, excuse me,

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: towards helping new people find what it is that we do.

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: Sir, let's do it. I'm ready Luck of the Week.

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm playing a lot sound a little bit early because

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: these are our predictions.

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: Dan all right, receipts.

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: The voice goes up in October two while we're talking

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: through our playoff brackets, when we're talking through awards, when

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: we're talking through all of this stuff. So again, the

82
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Verballer hood sent in a bunch of via our Patreon,

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: which I will discuss here in just a little bit.

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: If you want to get in on that fund. There

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: is more fun to be had at verballers dot com.

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I will again detail that later, but without further ado.

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Mister Rubinstein, you know, we have gone through all of

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: our conference projections. At this point, we have laid out

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: who we think is winning all of these conferences. We

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: did give ourselves the grace of having second thoughts on

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: our last episode. And I don't know about you, but

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: as I was trying to fill out my field of twelve,

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: I did have a bit of second thoughts, some doubt

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: creeping in. And I do think I veered a little bit,

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: at least from what I said in some cases over

96
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: a month ago, just the benefit of hindsight thinking through

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: some of these things a little bit more. Not any

98
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: drastic shifts, mind you, but I really had a hard

99
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: time coming up with team number twelve.

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: Same absolutely well. Notre Dame screws this all up. They do,

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: because you kind of plant a flag. I'm not gonna

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: speak for you, but you kind of plant a flag

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: with regard to the SEC and Big Ten that at

104
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: least one of them, probably only one of them for

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: the time being, is getting four teams in.

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: And then you're like, well, do I feel better about

108
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 3: the ACC or the Big twelve? And right now it

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: seems a lot of us seem to believe that the

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: ACC has stronger teams at the top, whereas there is

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: more sure thing quality in the Big twelve, which almost

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: hurts the conference because then you get a mess of

113
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: nine to three or eight and four type teams that

114
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: are all clearly high quality.

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: It's a demolition derby.

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: And so if you're again going to say two teams

117
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: for the ACC, one team for the Big twelve, seven

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: between the SEC and the Big ten, you're now at

119
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: ten teams. You have a G five representative in whoever

120
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: and Notre Dame. Yep, and there we are, and.

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: There we are. That's twelve. There's your twelve.

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: If you believe in Notre Dame is a top twelve

123
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: team this year, yeah.

124
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: That is a big time if so again, just to reiterate,

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: they have changed how they handle the seating this year.

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: It does give you a little bit more reason to

127
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: pay attention to those weekly polls that the College Football

128
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Playoff Committee puts out. You and I don't necessarily set

129
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: our watch by that special every week that ESPN airs,

130
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: presumably just to get more commercial inventory. That's at least

131
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: what it looks like to me for the first couple

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: iterations of it. But eventually when they give you their

133
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: top twelve ranking that now factors in with respect to

134
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: who is getting the first round byes. Remember last year,

135
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: if you want a conference, if you were one of

136
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the four highest ranked conference champions last year, you were

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed an automatic first round by this year, they're going

138
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: straight seating. Whoever, the top four teams are, regardless of

139
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: whether they win their conference or not, those are the

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: four teams that are going to get a first round

141
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: by So the subtle change, everything else remains intact. We

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: will talk through what all that means. Again. If you're

143
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: winning your conference, if you're in the Power for in

144
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: all likelihood you will be getting an automatic bid in

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: That part is still in the rules as well. Why

146
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: don't we start off with your bracket?

147
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: Dan?

148
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: If you're feeling saucy, Tim, I'm always feeling okay with that. Yes,

149
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: of course, What was your approach to putting this together?

150
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Were you going through conference by conference? Okay, here is

151
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: who I picked to win the SEC. We guarantee that

152
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: team a slot. Then I am counting down from that point,

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: looking at my tiers ABC and D get in like,

154
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: what what was your strategy for trying to put this together?

155
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean guessing first of all. Sure, Yeah, none of

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: this should be taken at face down. Yeah, okay, this

157
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: is all going to be terribly wrong by the time

158
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the field eventually set in early December.

159
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least we're doing this in mid August. Our

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: friends Andy Staples and Ari Wassonan are like, oh, right,

161
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: Mitt's Valentine's Day. So let's figure out who our top

162
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: twelve is. Okay, that's an impression of nobody. I have

163
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: won two teams from the Big Ten in the top four,

164
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: and two teams from the SEC in the top four,

165
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: and an independent team. Yes, you're Yukon Huskies at number five.

166
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: Of course, I have my number one overall seat is

167
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: Ohio State this year?

168
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: Wow?

169
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: Is Ohio State?

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Okay? And so you've got Ohio State winning the Big Ten.

171
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: We talked this Ohio State over Penn State in the

172
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Big Ten championship, and I'm sticking with it.

173
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Okay.

174
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: Why it's not that, I mean, they're obviously a top

175
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: three or four team, it seems right now in terms

176
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: of talent, in terms of potential, there's obviously changes to

177
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: coordinators and a loss of talent on both sides of

178
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: the ball. I just think what they bring back what

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: their schedule looks like. I feel good about them. Basically,

180
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: you're saying, who are the most likely teams to go

181
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: eleven and one or twelve and one in this case

182
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: in effect?

183
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's interesting about this the Big Ten and

184
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the ACC in particular, there's a lot of disagreement over

185
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: how the SEC shakes out. There's a lot of disagreement,

186
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: more disagreement as you might expect. On the Big twelve side.

187
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: You can make a case for seven teams if you

188
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: really wanted in the Big twelve, but there seems to

189
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: be a general consensus the top three in the Big

190
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Ten being Penn State, Ohio State, and Oregon in some order.

191
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: And that's the very top of the ACC being Clemson. Sure,

192
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: those two things I think across the board, based on

193
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: what I've seen, those seem to be the two things

194
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: with respect to conference standings that most people tend to

195
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: agree on.

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: So I have Ohio State. I think their upside is fantastic.

197
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: When you have the gravitational weapon of Jeremiah Smith, I

198
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: think it's going to open up so much. Everybody's going

199
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: to be freaking out well ahead of time about what

200
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: to do with Jeremiah Smith and hopefully the combination of

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: Brian Hartline and Ryan Day can figure out what to

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: do with the best possible gift that you can have

203
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: on your offense. So, okay, they're my number one team,

204
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 3: So we don't even know who's starting. A quarterback. Could

205
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: be Julian Sane, could be Lincoln Keenholtz. But I'm going

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: to Ohio State here. I think in a year where

207
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: so many teams have so many questions, I still feel

208
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: good about their answers. So I'm going to Ohio State one.

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: My two seed or unless you want me to go

210
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 3: to my twelve seed.

211
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: Dude, whatever order you want, Doug, whatever you are.

212
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: My two seed is the Alabama Crimson Tide, who I

213
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: guess I have winning the SEC. I don't know how

214
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: they could get to the two seed without winning the SEC,

215
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: unless I guess they were twelve and oher and lost

216
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: in a freak way to a two loss team something

217
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: like that.

218
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: I think you had Texas? Did I have Texas in

219
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: our preview when we did the preview?

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: Okay, well I've revised things.

221
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: Tie that's fine. No, no, no, this is good. This

222
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: is healthy.

223
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: This is my official receipt episode. I have Alabama as

224
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: my two seed and SEC champion.

225
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't feel great. Who's three? Who's three?

226
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: My three state is the Penn State and at Alliance.

227
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got Penn State playing for the Big

228
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: ten but not winning it. Correct four, I'm assuming is

229
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: Texas in five must be Notre Dame.

230
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: With for is Texas five is Notre Dame. I like

231
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: Alabama to have a very nice year two bump. As

232
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: Brett Siancia mentioned on our previous show, I think they're

233
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: going to be better at quarterback in terms of throwing

234
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: the ball downfield or even throwing the ball twelve yards

235
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: down the field consistently their starting point with a defensive front.

236
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: What I expect to be high level quarterback play their

237
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: own gravitational receiver. I think there's just solid to very

238
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 3: very good at too many places. So I'm going Alabama

239
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: by just a nose to take down Texas in the

240
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: SEC championship as of August fourteenth.

241
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: We're recording this August fourteenth, yes, of course, so let

242
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: me let me flash up your bracket here. Please watching

243
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: the video. We'll talk through this for the audio crowd

244
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: as well. As you said your top five is Ohio State, Alabama,

245
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: Penn State, Texas, and then Notre Dame. Yes, outside of

246
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: that top five though, this is when you start getting

247
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: to first round matchups and where it starts to get

248
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: at least a little bit more interesting. So your first

249
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: round matchup featuring Notre Dame the five seed at home

250
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: is a rematch with the Miami Hurricanes.

251
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm leaning towards that being a revenge spot that Notre

252
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: Dame will lose at Miami with a new starting quarterback,

253
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: young starting quarterback, inexperienced starting quarterback, and then beat Miami

254
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: in a playoff matchup.

255
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Your sixth seed is the Clemson Tigers playing host to

256
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: the Old Miss Rebels. So you've got Old Miss in here,

257
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: which I think is a headline in and of itself. Yes,

258
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Clemson hosting a game would be awesome. Clemson pretty far

259
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: down though on this list.

260
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 3: Well, Clemson opens with LSU, and they won't be punished

261
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: if they lose that game unless they lose that game

262
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: in like a crazy constable way. But they open their

263
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: season up last season doing that as well, so ultimately

264
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: they can bounce back. We know they have the ability

265
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 3: to bounce back, So I like Clemson schedule a good deal,

266
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: but I think when push comes to shove, I think

267
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna drop two.

268
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

269
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: I think they'll drop one to a quality team and

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: one to a freak occurrence.

271
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: I think your nuts for saying that.

272
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: I know you do.

273
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: You've got your Oregon Ducks as a seventh seed playing

274
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: host to the Boise State Broncos, who you've got here

275
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: as a ten. You've got Oregon moving on. I think

276
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: we're in agreement that Boise is the G five representative,

277
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: though I will say I did give a second look

278
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: to both Tulane and James Madison. Those are the other

279
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: schools that I'm eyeing up potentially for that spot. Even

280
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: though Tulane now is bringing in Jake Retzleif from BYU,

281
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I still think across the board, maybe outside a quarterback,

282
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: they are worse at every offensive position, and so that's

283
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: the rub for me and James Madison. I like JMU.

284
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I just I have questions about how they look against

285
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: better competition, and I think that question is going to

286
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: come up repeatedly when we talk about the Dukes this year.

287
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: But I'm still like keeping them in the back of

288
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: my mind potentially for that spot. Certainly if they got in,

289
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: they'd be the twelve. But you've got Oregon over Boise

290
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: State here in the first round, and then your other

291
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: matchup is the eight Georgia playing host to the nine,

292
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Arizona State, with Georgia moving.

293
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: On Big twelve champ Arizona State one team coming in

294
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: from the Big twelve. I have ASU there, but Georgia Ultimately,

295
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: by the time the end of the season rolls around,

296
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: like it could get a little bit bumpy with a

297
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: lot new I think they're going to come into their

298
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: own by Halloween, and so I think they're going to

299
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: be a strong team that we might even think is

300
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: playing like the best team in the SEC, but because

301
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: of the record, doesn't play in the SEC championship game.

302
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: And I have them beating ASU in that first round

303
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: and setting up a matchup against Ohio State.

304
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Now, I like what you did here in the second

305
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: round because you didn't go straight chalk. I think it's

306
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: very easy to go straight chalk when you do this. Yes,

307
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: it didn't go straight chalk last year for a multitude

308
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: of reasons. But you've got Georgia over Ohio State in

309
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the quarterfinals. Why do you favor Georgia over Ohio State for.

310
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: The reason I just said that Georgia is going to

311
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: come into its own, that there's so much talent on

312
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: defense that I don't think Gunner Stockton needs to be incredible.

313
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: I'm gambling a little bit on these receivers taking a

314
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: jump after a disappointing twenty twenty four. But they've added

315
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: reinforcements to positions they feel like they've needed depth at.

316
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: And I don't think Kirby Smart has accidentally played for

317
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: as many national championships and in as many playoff games

318
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: as he has, and so there's some consistency with the

319
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: coaching staff as well. So I just I don't know.

320
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: I like things. I like Georgia being a little bit

321
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: overlooked this year. I like that for them. So I

322
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: love that free, I love that for you. So I

323
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: like Georgia over Ohio State. Here that ultimately it's just

324
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: going to be a question of Georgia's defense being able

325
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: to run with Ohio State's offense, and then perhaps Ohio

326
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: State's defense not being as fully formed as they should be.

327
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: The other quarterfinals that you have on your bracket, you

328
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: have Texas over Notre Dame, you have Penn State over

329
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Clemson Tom Allen Bowl Baby Tom Allen boll of course.

330
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: And you've got the Alabama Crimson Tide over your Oregon Ducks.

331
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: So that would set up a final four of Georgia

332
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: against Texas, Alabama against Penn State. It would be three

333
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: SEC teams in the semifinals, correct.

334
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: I think the pendulum swings back to the SEC this

335
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: season in terms of representation in that final four.

336
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: You've got Texas over Georgia, You've got Alabama over Penn State.

337
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious you're thinking specifically around those two matchups.

338
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: Sure, And by the way, so Texas is over Notre Dame.

339
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: I just think you're gonna need to score a certain

340
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: amount of points to beat Texas, and I don't I'm

341
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: not positive Notre Dame is there quite yet. And if

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: you can stop Notre Dame on the ground, it makes

343
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: a little bit more challenging. That's a big if though.

344
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: So yes, I have Texas over Georgia there. I just

345
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: think for the same reason, you're gonna have to score

346
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: a certain number of points to beat Texas. And that's

347
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 3: a very obvious thing that I now that I hear

348
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 3: myself say it out loud, you got to score more

349
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: points than the other team. But I don't think Texas

350
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: is going to be involved with in a number of

351
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: thirteen to ten, fourteen thirteen type games. So I'm going

352
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: to give the edge the team that I think has

353
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: the most pop on both sides of the ball, and

354
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: to me, that's Texas against Georgia there. I have Penn

355
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: State over Clemson because I just think there's too much

356
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: experience and I don't know. I think they'll be able

357
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: to run the ball. I think that's gonna be an

358
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 3: interesting thing there. Penn State should be able to run

359
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: the ball on Clemson. I have Alabama over Oregon. I

360
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: just too much talent on the Alabama defense and too

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: much new without a known go to guy for Oregon.

362
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's to Corean Moore for the Ducks, but we'll see.

363
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: You want to know why Alabama Penn State?

364
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: I do.

365
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: I've watched Penn State football in big spots before. Oh,

366
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: that's it, that's it. Yeah, sometimes the truth hurts. I mean,

367
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I just you're gonna you're gonna ask me.

368
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 3: I don't know where this game is gonna be played.

369
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: The semi finals this year, one's at the peach Ones

370
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: at the Festabal. So you're asking me to go to

371
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: either Atlanta or Arizona, have Drew Aller, throw into the

372
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: teeth of the Alabama secondary and come away with a win.

373
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: I'm not there, happy to be proven wrong. Here are

374
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: my receipts. Alabama over Penn State. There, Texas over Georgia

375
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: I mentioned what there, and then Texas over Alabama in

376
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: a game that big. I'm gonna give the edge to

377
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: a quarterback. I'm gonna give the edge to coordinators who've

378
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 3: been there before. Whereas you know, Alabama doesn't have that

379
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: on defense. Obviously, Ryan Grubb has called a championship game

380
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 3: as it's Kalin de Borr. Sure, but I think Archie

381
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 3: Manning's just a little bit more season by the time

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: they get to this point, everybody's going to be seasoned. Yeah,

383
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm going with pass rushing quarterback to win that game.

384
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: And that's a question I think Texas will be more

385
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 3: able to answer than Alabama. And there you have it.

386
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: So you're in with Texas being back, baby.

387
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm in with Texas being back.

388
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: Better you than me, my friend, Better you than me.

389
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: Here's what I've got. Okay, let me talk through mine.

390
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Mine isn't all that different from yours, to be clear.

391
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: But I've got as my first four seeds Clemson at

392
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: the one, Alabama at the two, Penn State at the three.

393
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: Texas's the four. So three of the four are the

394
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: same for you and I. I'm just way higher on Clemson.

395
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm really high on Clemson. I will go down with

396
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: the Clemson ship this year for sure. I think they're

397
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: going undefeated in the regular season. I think they're winning

398
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: the ACC Crown. I think they are winning two playoff

399
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: games and getting to the national championship. Yes, I've got

400
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: my bracket up on the screen now for those watching

401
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: the video. By the way, I will post these brackets

402
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: out across social media out on our Patreon so that

403
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: you can go out there and give us your comments

404
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: on what you think is right and wrong. Okay, here

405
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: is how my first round matchup set up. I've got

406
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: Ohio State as the five, winning over the twelve Boise State.

407
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: I've got Georgia the six winning over the eleven Texas

408
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: A and M. That game would be freaking awesome, by

409
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: the way. In Athens, Yeah, I've got Notre Dame winning

410
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: a cold one over Arizona State my ten.

411
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: Okay, a Taylor Kelly rematch, that's one deep cut.

412
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: That is a deep cut.

413
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: Who was the quarterback that year? Okay? Continue?

414
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: And then I've got your Oregon Ducks as the eight,

415
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: hosting a game and winning out over the nine Kansas State.

416
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: So what's different about my bracket versus yours. I've got

417
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: two big twelve teams in this thing. Yes, And I

418
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: really struggled with who that last team was going to be.

419
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: I went back and forth a million times. At one

420
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: point I had Illinois in, but then I looked at

421
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: illinois schedule, and I looked at Illinois's team, and I

422
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: listened to the conversation we had with Brett, and I

423
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: just I didn't have the heart to do it. I

424
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: thought about Indiana, but Indiana's schedule, I just don't trust

425
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: that they're going to be able to navigate that and

426
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: make it the full way through. They would have to go,

427
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: in my view, eleven and one, ten and two.

428
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: They would, Yeah, they would have to beat Penn State

429
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: or Oregon. I believe both of whom I think they

430
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: get on the road.

431
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I do. I stand by what I said on the episode.

432
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: We did with Josh Lsu, I think will have a

433
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: case to be made to get into this, but I

434
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: think they're going to have too many losses on that schedule,

435
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's ultimately going to keep them out

436
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: of this field. And again I thought about Pitt because

437
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: you know, I'm high on Pitt. I think Pitt's going

438
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: to have three losses. I think they might play Clemson

439
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: for the ACC title game, but it's going to be

440
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: too many losses to get in. I am not high

441
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: at all on Miami, even though I have had some

442
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: second thoughts there. So ultimately, I've got the ACC with

443
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: one team, the Big twelve with two, the Big Ten

444
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: with three, in the SEC with four. That's where he

445
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: came down to this thing.

446
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: I have.

447
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: In my right e FFing their potential. I have Indiana

448
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: for the reasons you laid out. Schedule wise, it's going

449
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: to be difficult, but I like their starting point of

450
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: how well they're coached, who they brought in at quarterback,

451
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: what they return on both sides of the ball. I'm

452
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: good with that. But yeah, it's a schedule thing. I

453
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: have Auburn as potentially in this conversation.

454
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Time, Come on, man, there's no chance telling you there

455
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: is no chance.

456
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, now, Okay, what is Auburn as

457
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: a program if not a team that as soon as

458
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: you think they're good, all right, they're not. As soon

459
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: as you think they have a ways to go there

460
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: they are. I have Texas Tech right there, just potential wise.

461
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: Listen, we're all just throwing darts at this point. I

462
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: know I can't be too harsh on this. I know

463
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from.

464
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if roster wise quarterback experience. I'm not

465
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: a big Baron Morton guy, but he has experienced both

466
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: on the field and in the injury tent, a lot

467
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: of injury tent experience. I have USC as potentially right there.

468
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 3: I know I'm higher on USC than you are this season,

469
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: but you.

470
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: Could see it, like even I could see it. And

471
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not super high on USC, right, But it doesn't

472
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: take that big of like a mental exercise to talk

473
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: yourself into how USC could get into this playoff field.

474
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: I would say all of these teams need to benefit

475
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: from injury luck.

476
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: And that's true for everybody.

477
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: Well it's you know, it's not true for everybody Like

478
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: Georgia can take an ACL tear to an outside linebacker

479
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: much more so than a lot of teams can. I'm

480
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: just saying of the teams that, like, if Texas Tech

481
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: has unusual injury luck, they've addressed enough needs that if

482
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 3: they can win, you know, more fifty to fifty games,

483
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: don't give up huge. Like you know, there's a lot

484
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: of ifs for all these teams that are in the

485
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: like thirteen to twenty one range. But I think those

486
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 3: teams have the talent, have the coaching, and you know,

487
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: might have a twinkle, a little glimmer in their eye

488
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: that leads them to at least November conversation.

489
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: Let me talk through the rest of my field here.

490
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Please go into the quarterfinals. I've got Clemson over your

491
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks.

492
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: That would be on the East coast somewhere. I think

493
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: that would be in Miami or something.

494
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got Texas over Ohio State in a rematch.

495
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: So this in effect is me saying that Texas is

496
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: going to win both times they play Ohio State. That

497
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: is what you're saying, which may not be a smart

498
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: hill to die on, but alas here we are. I've

499
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: got Penn State over Georgia and I've got Alabama over

500
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. So my final four is Clemson, Alabama, Texas,

501
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: and Penn State essentially one, two, three four. As oppose

502
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: what we saw last year where it wasn't very chalky,

503
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: this year, I think it's shaking out that way. I've

504
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: got Clemson over Texas, getting revenge on Texas after the

505
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: game from I guess season, yep, yeah, the end of

506
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And then I've got Penn State over

507
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Alabama and Penn State over Clemson. I can't believe that

508
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: I got to this point, but I did it. I

509
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: jinxed them, I jinxed my alma mater. I am picking

510
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: Penn State to win the national championship.

511
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: So when you look at Penn State, you have Penn

512
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 3: State beating Georgia, Alabama and Clemson. Yes, like you know

513
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 3: Ezekiel Elliott through the heart of the South, that's right.

514
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: What is it, specifically when you see those matchups where

515
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: you're like, something is different this year? Something that is

516
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: What is that Penn State has that Georgia, Alabama and

517
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: Clemson don't quite have an answer for.

518
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: It's a good question, and I'm sure that everything I

519
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: say here will be used against me at some points.

520
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 3: That's fine. We're putting it out into the universe.

521
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: Size is the receipts episode, and this is what we

522
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: got to do. I think there is something to be

523
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: said for getting very close but not getting the cigar.

524
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like over the last two seasons now,

525
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: with this Penn State squad, and more broadly just how

526
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: they have been building it the last decade or so

527
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: under James Franklin, there have been small incremental steps to

528
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: get to this point. Now, I will harken back to

529
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: something that I said previously, Penn State's got to win

530
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: one of these big games on they're schedule this year. Okay,

531
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: this might be putting the cart before the horse. I

532
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: do think they're a playoff team regardless they got to

533
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State or they need to beat Oregon, just

534
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: one of the two. They need to prove to the fan. Yes,

535
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: they need to prove that they can win a game

536
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: like that, because to your point, Penn Satan big games

537
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: has sometimes left us a bit underwhelmed. But I think

538
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: with the experience that they've got coming back this year,

539
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: I think with the leaps and bounds that we've seen

540
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Drew Aller grow as a quarterback. I mean, it's easy

541
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: to forget how much he grew throughout the course of

542
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: last season, even though there were underwhelming elements to it.

543
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: I give you that, but I think he got a

544
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: lot better under Andy kotal Nicky, having that backfield, back,

545
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: having the line in front of him back. There is

546
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: just so much that they build upon now that other

547
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: teams are kind of starting a new right. You don't

548
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: have this combination across the board where even if you

549
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: look at these top four teams, Alabama's going to have

550
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: a new quarterback. They might like their quarterback a lot.

551
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: I happen to like Ty Simpson. I think he'll be fine,

552
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: But that's a new situation. Georgia has a lot of

553
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: new with its offense. It's not all intact Texas. Texas

554
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: has basically a brand new offensive line. Sure they'll still

555
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: be solid. Also a new starting quarterback, a new full

556
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: time starting quarterback who we believe in to a great extent,

557
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: but still there's a lot new. Clemson may be the

558
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: exception as part of this conversation, because they also have

559
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: a lot back, which is part of why I have

560
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: them playing each other in the National Championship. So I

561
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: am enticed by the experience that Penn State has coming back.

562
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: I think there will be a second year boost on

563
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: offense now with cotal Nikki and basically the same cast

564
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: of characters. And then furthermore, I think bringing Jim Knowles

565
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: into the equation is going to make the defense a

566
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: little bit tougher to game play around.

567
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: Question about year one Jim Knowles at various stops.

568
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, I just I like that combination for Penn State.

569
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: I think the schedule sets up well at least to

570
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: get them into this field even if they're not the three,

571
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: and I like the depth that they have across the board.

572
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: I like their depth. I think they will be a very,

573
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: very difficult out, especially if you give them a week

574
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: of rest against teams like Georgia, who in this setup

575
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: would have an absolute war on their hands against Texas

576
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: A and M Yeah, an Alabama squad that would have

577
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: had to go through Notre Dame. Speaking of wars, I

578
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: just really like what they've got here this season and

579
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: how it sets up for them. So I cannot believe

580
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: that I eventually ended up picking Penn State, but I

581
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: think I just jinked Penn State.

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: Dan.

583
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: That's Okay, I appreciate it. Did Who did I say

584
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: to I have Oregon winning the national championship last year?

585
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: You may have yeah, I think and he jinks them.

586
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: So I mean, this is not this is not ideal

587
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: if you're a Penn Stater out there listening to this.

588
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: But look, I've what kind of pen Stater would I

589
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: be If I've got the Beaver and Locust Avenue signed

590
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: behind me, I've got Penn State hats galore that I

591
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: wear on the show. If I didn't pick my alma

592
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: mater in what appears to be the year or the

593
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: closest they've had to the year, what are we doing here?

594
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: In the words of Taylor Towelman.

595
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: In all fairness, the seating this year is a reaction

596
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: to what happened last year with Oregon and getting Ohio

597
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: State early and whatever. That's fine. I still stand by

598
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: my statement that get get who you need to beat early.

599
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 3: But alas here we are, here, we are, so we are,

600
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: Our brackets are somewhat similar, we disagree on some placement,

601
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: and your wildcard, essentially your wild card is Texas A

602
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: and m yep, and I guess Kansas State. You have

603
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: Miami not in this No, so one ACC two Big twelve.

604
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: I have two ACC one Big twelve.

605
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: That's right.

606
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: So you have Kansas State and Texas A and m

607
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: AS you're sort of outsiders crashing the party. Yep, Texas

608
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: A and m wins double digit games with frequency and regularity.

609
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: So they're right there, right.

610
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe not, but I like the team this year.

611
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: I do. I stand by that, and again the teams

612
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: that there were like nine teams that I really waffled

613
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: on and thought about maybe putting in that. Arizona State

614
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: was the last one in for me because they have

615
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: k State winning the Big Twelve, but ASU ultimately is

616
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: where it came down. I stand by what I said

617
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: that it could still be Kansas State playing for Iowa

618
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: playing against Iowa State for the Big Twelve just because

619
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: of who they play in non conference matchups. Remember Iowa

620
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: State's got that game against Iowa very early on, which

621
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna lose. I'm getting on Iowa in

622
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: that matchup. Just bigger picture of we zoom all the

623
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: way out. But I considered Pitt in Miami and even

624
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, Iowa State, you know, Arizona State I went with.

625
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: But Illinois India and lsu Ole Miss. I'm looking at

626
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: my list here. There's a good collection of teams and

627
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways that you could play this

628
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: if you really want to. But yeah, I'm on Penn State.

629
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: I like All Miss the schedule. By the way, for

630
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: my wild card, I think who they get when they

631
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 3: get them, it can be really nice, Thank you very much.

632
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: You know.

633
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 3: There's something also about like the year after the year.

634
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's like the the T Martin

635
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: coroliar that Peyton Manning leaves and T Martin immediately wins

636
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 3: a national championship for Tennessee. There's something about that the

637
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 3: year after the year that happens in college football that

638
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: I can't shake. So last year was supposed to hear

639
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: for all Miss. I think this year is going to

640
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: be the year. So I'm buying low. I'ay what they

641
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: are in the AP or the first AP somewhere around

642
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: twenty something like that. So that's my pick.

643
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: What other predictions you got do you have, like awards

644
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: like Heisman or Coach of the Year or any of

645
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. You give any thoughts to that?

646
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: Well, if I'm gonna put Ohio State as the number

647
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: one team in the country and good enough to get

648
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: over the hump and beat Michigan, get over the hump

649
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: and like it over the hump. But to beat Penn State,

650
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: to beat Texas like, something's gonna have to work out really,

651
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: really nicely at quarterback. So my Heisman winner is Julian.

652
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: Saying, whoa do you have him going full super Saiyan?

653
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: I think so?

654
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: Why not?

655
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: Of course.

656
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: That's my Julian Sane sound this year. By the way,

657
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna go super Saiyan.

658
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 3: Okay, that's an anime something you told us dragon ball

659
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: z Okay, gotcha? Noted, I have Coach of the Year

660
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: as Lane Kiffin. Again. If I'm planning the flag as

661
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: ole miss breaking through as a playoff team, okay, that

662
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: means Lane Kiffin's coaching job this year, both with regard

663
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: to Austin Simmons, the portal navigating this schedule, taking advantage

664
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: of opportunities will be exceptional. Lane Kiffin coach of the year.

665
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: I've got kid club Nick winning the Heisman.

666
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: Okay.

667
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: If Clemson goes undefeated, wins the conference, and is the

668
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: number one overall seed, he's going to win the Heisman.

669
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: And I think I feel confident saying that because they

670
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: will have to put a lot more on him, at

671
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: least to start, and that's when they play a team

672
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: like an LSU, right Like, they're still trying to figure

673
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: out who their running back is going to be. And

674
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of us at this stage

675
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of August can confidently say that they're

676
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: going to be effective on the ground, Like I like

677
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: their options, But we know a lot more about Kid

678
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: Club Nick. I think we know a lot more now

679
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: than we did a year ago about what they've got

680
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: out wide. We feel better about what they've got. Definitely,

681
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: Caid Clubnick is having a monster season if this goes

682
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: the way that I've predicted, so he would be my

683
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: bad I looked earlier. I was like nine to one

684
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: on the Heisman. If you like Heisman betting, that's not

685
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: bad odds to be honest for Kaid Clubnick. So I've

686
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: got him winning the Heisman. My coach of the year

687
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: is Kaylen de Boor. Okay, you can make a case,

688
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: obviously for a multitude of these playoff coaches. All of

689
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: them have their own claim to fame. James Franklin's another

690
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: one that I considered, But I just think Kaylin de

691
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Boorr taking over for Nick Saban essentially rebooting the program

692
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: to an extent in a year and a half, in

693
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: getting into the playoff, potentially as a two seed, potentially

694
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: as an SEC champion, it would be hard for the

695
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: voters to not put him as Coach of the Year.

696
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 3: The only reason I disagree with you on your decision,

697
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 3: on your personal decision is because you have Chris Kleiman

698
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: playoff team, and you have a playoff coach, and you

699
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: have Mike Elko playoff coach.

700
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: I do so.

701
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: I think the story of those two guys would outweigh

702
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: taking Alabama to the playoff a preseason expectation overwhelming preseason expectation.

703
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: Whereas if you're saying Kansas State is breaking through and

704
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: now he's won the conference, he hasn't taken a team

705
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: to a playoff yet. It's been a four team playoff

706
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: until last season, and Mike Elko doing this would be

707
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 3: extremely impressive because they would be doing it at a

708
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 3: place that has not been on this type of stage ever.

709
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: Right now, listen again, you can make a case for

710
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: all these guys.

711
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 3: No, what I'm saying is the degree of difficulty to

712
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: do that at Kansas State is just harder. Yeah, so

713
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: I think you picked your wrong guy, is what I'm saying.

714
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's fair enough.

715
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: Okay.

716
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: We did get a bunch that came in from the

732
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: in the top what is it five?

Speaker 1: Top five? Yeah, we do a Board of directors calls, yes,

734
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: which we did earlier, and I think we committed to

735
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: doing another one at some point like mid season this year,

736
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: so you get to be part of the board, help

737
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: with decision making and talk through the show and all

738
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's sort of the vote of confidence. We

739
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: both got it this year unmentioned Perk on this.

740
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: That's true.

741
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: But if you if you don't want to go to

742
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,080

746
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch coming in. We'll unveil that a

747
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: little bit later on this week. I don't want to

748
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: do that now. I want to give more people a

749
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: chance to vote in this poll. But shortly before the

750
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: games go down a week zero will unveil officially our

751
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: preseason poll. There's no real reason to put it out

752
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: super early. Who cares? That's great?

753
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 3: I agree.

754
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: So here's what we got. We got a couple Georgia

755
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: Tech takes. We already have there, so it's fine exactly.

756
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: We got one here that says there's an oddball team

757
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: that gets into the top five, and it feels like

758
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven all over again, with a specific

759
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: focus on established quarterbacks leading teams to overachieve. Get ready

760
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: for top five Georgia Tech Dan Okay, this was not

761
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Josh Pate. Now this is a long time for baller.

762
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: Chiming in with that one, we got a couple other

763
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech takes one here saying that they go eleven

764
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: to two but lose the ACC Championship.

765
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 3: Is this saying that george Attack is going to end

766
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: up in the top five?

767
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: I believe so. Yeah.

768
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 3: So if they're ending up in the top five, that

769
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: means they're almost assuredly beating Georgia. Well, it would be

770
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: hard to lose that I got here.

771
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at. Another one here, somebody says

772
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: that they could take down Georgia.

773
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, or they if they lose to Georgia, they would

774
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: basically have to start eleven and zero, which means beating Clemson.

775
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I see. It's like we got another one

776
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: here from our friends over at Game on Paper, Go

Speaker 1: got a cool scoreboard that you can use every Saturday

Speaker 1: to track what's going on in college football, get access

782
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: to like all the stats all the time. If that's

783
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: what you're into, they do an awesome job. Check them out.

784
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: They chimed in with Georgia does not win more than

785
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: seven games this year.

786
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 3: Dan okay, six and six, five and seven, seven and

787
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: five Georgia. So we're talking about likely a quarterback injury

788
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 3: or super disappointing play at quarterback that the defense can't

789
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 3: make up for. I think that's two extreme a take,

790
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: because I think you could figure out some real bottom

791
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: tier offenses to pair with George's defense and they'd win

792
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 3: eight games.

793
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: Daniel says that Georgia goes eight and four and misses

794
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: the playoff, and that Georgia Tech knocks them out of

795
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: contention on Black Friday. Now, So these are not intended

796
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: to be hot takes. These are predictions. I gave everybody

797
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: one prediction, just one one predict.

798
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: Take in your marrow. If you had to wage your

799
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: money on something happening this year, it would be this

800
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: wild Okay, we.

801
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: Got a bunch of Oklahoma takes here.

802
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 3: Okay predictions.

803
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: Joseph says Oklahoma makes the SEC title game. John Mattier

804
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: is a Heisman finalist. Okay, Yeah, another one that says

805
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: Oklahoma goes ten and two in the conversation for a

806
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: playoff spot and they're going to lose at South Carolina

807
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: and at Alabama. We've got another person here saying that

808
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma goes ten and two, and then we've got Tommy

809
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: being the odd man out saying that Oklahoma continues down

810
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: the path of being the Nebraska of the SEC and

811
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: Brennables are Brennables. Brent Venables get sacked after a six

812
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: and six season.

813
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so it was South Carolina and Alabama was one

814
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: of them said ten and two with those two losses. Yep,

815
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: So that means Oklahoma's taking down Michigan at home, not crazy,

816
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 3: taking out Texas and Dallas not crazy, but seemingly unlikely

817
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 3: in this moment, beating Ole Miss at home, South Carolina

818
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 3: on the road, Tennessee on the road, Missoo, and LSU

819
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 3: to finish out the year. Yeah, buddy, that's Brent Venables,

820
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 3: not just keeping his job and off the hot seat.

821
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: That's Brt Venables coach of the year. That's John Materier. Look,

822
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: if you're talking about ten into Oklahoma, saying that also

823
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 3: John Mattier is going to go to New York. The answer,

824
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 3: of course, of.

825
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: Course, is why. This is why I stand by what

826
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: I said on our previews. Oklahoma's the most interesting team

827
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: in the country because the range of things that could

828
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: go right or could go wrong.

829
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: I said that about LSU, so yeah, I'm nearby.

830
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just there is so much that could happen.

831
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: That spectrum is wide for the Sooners as it is

832
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: for LSU. I agree with you, they're interesting as well.

833
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: But for me Oklahoma with I think the clear recognition

834
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: this offseason by Brent Venables that's something big needed to change,

835
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: otherwise he's going to be out yep, this is this

836
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: is it man like They're they're laying it all out there.

837
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: So there's and look, even within the verbolerhood, we have

838
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: disagreement on what this could look like for the Sooners. Great,

839
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm fascinated. You know that in that scenario

840
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's in the playoff, not if they go six and six,

841
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: but if they go ten and two two, and in

842
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: the prediction scenario they're in the playoff. Absolutely that they

843
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: would have beaten so many big teams as you walk

844
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: through there, they would have to be in the playoff. Okay,

845
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Tyler says Texas Tech's gonna win the Big twelve or

846
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: Joey McGuire will be fired due to the obscene amount

847
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: of money they are spending this off team.

848
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 3: So this is not crazy and it's not intended to

849
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 3: be crazy. But if there's any school that will happily

850
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: eat a disappointing buyout, it's Texas Tech right now with

851
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: what they are spending on the program on anil stuff. Yeah, absolutely,

852
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: I can say it. Continue.

853
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: We've also got Ryan and Plano saying that Lincoln Riley

854
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: returns home but not to Oklahoma to take over as

855
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: head coach at Texas Tech. So this is more of

856
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: the take variety of prediction, granted, but just a little

857
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: bit of spice here.

858
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 3: Have we had that kind of So Lincoln Riley from

859
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 3: Oklahoma to USC to Texas Tech. I'm trying to think

860
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: of who has without taking any breaks, jumped around to

861
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 3: power conference programs like that, like Urban when we was

862
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: at Utah, not a power conference program, went to Florida,

863
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: took time off before Ohio State, right, So I'm thinking

864
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: of the names that bopped around lily pads in that

865
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 3: specific fashion.

866
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: It's wild, man, that's wild. Let me let me go

867
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: through a few other ones here, Okay, I don't have

868
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: time to read all me some odd.

869
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 3: That the ones that get you tingling.

870
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: Tristan says Iowa will make the playoffs at ten and

871
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: three after losing to Ohio State in the conference championship game. Okay,

872
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: I could squint and make a case for this, Tristan, Okay,

873
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: because I am also very high on Iowa. Not this high.

874
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: There's a little too much even for me. But I

875
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: appreciate the spice. There's a lot of spice here.

876
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: I got a text from somebody that said, find you

877
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 3: somebody that looks at you the way Ty looks at

878
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 3: FCS quarterbacks.

879
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: Making the leap, yeah.

880
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: Ten and three Iowa likely means losses against Nebraska, Oregon,

881
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: Penn State. I mean so that means winning at Iowa State,

882
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 3: beating Wisconsin on the road, beating Minnesota at home, beating

883
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 3: USC on the road, and winning out. Beyond that, Gronowski

884
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: would have to be awfully, awfully good coming off. If

885
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 3: I think a foot injury, some kind of lower body injury,

886
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: he'd need to.

887
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: Be cam Ward or Tim Tebow is what he would need.

888
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 3: With little to know, receiving pop downfield.

889
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: That we know of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Robert says Dion

890
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: Sanders will end up coaching at Florida State before the

891
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: championship game kicks off.

892
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 3: Okay, Florida State. I think Mike Norvell's buyout is like

893
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: dozens upon dozens of millionllions of dollars. Correct, nobody's paid

894
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 3: that other than A and M. Basically, yeah, yeah.

895
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: Three people chiming in that Hugh Freeze is going to

896
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: get fired before November.

897
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: That's always on the table. You can tell me Hugh

898
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 3: Freeze get fired before the end of August. It's on

899
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: the table.

900
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: Alex says that Brian Kelly will have actual tiers in

901
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: a postgame press conference. I like that. That's teetering on

902
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: the brink of fantasy things, which we're going to get

903
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: into here at the very end.

904
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: He feels everything he feels. Yeah.

905
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: B Roth says Rutgers receives their first AP top twenty

906
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: five since twenty twelve.

907
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: Tough for me to see. I like Rutgers, fine, but

908
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: Rutgers should almost throw a parade or like issue a

909
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 3: press release if they receive votes. Forget getting into the

910
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 3: top twenty five. Just if they receive at least five

911
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: votes to be there. There should be some sort of

912
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 3: info graphic that says five votes for Rutgers.

913
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: And I will close it out with Arkansas because we

914
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: had a great level of specificity with some of these

915
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: Arkansas predictions. Don says that Memphis beats Arkansas in Week

916
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: four and that's what starts the coaching carousel. Kevin says

917
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: that Arkansas will win seven games and Sam Pittman's going

918
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: to hand the reins to Bobby Petrino, and AJ goes

919
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: a step further. Hugh Freeze, Sam Pittman, Billy Napier will

920
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: all be fired before the end of October, to thus

921
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: creating it opening for John Gruden to join the SEC

922
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.

923
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: Who has expressed interest. He apparently like went to Georgia

924
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: fall camp and was like, I want to do this.

925
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: If Florida gets rid of Napier, we would be remiss

926
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: to not play back all of the Jedfish commentary from

927
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: last year. Oh but yeah, we'll get there when we

928
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: get there. I did want to play these. We had

929
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,959
Speaker 1: a few others that came in via the reverb blind.

930
00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: Have a listen.

931
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: O Brahma returns before and going ten and two and

932
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 2: living in the first round.

933
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 5: Of the playoffs as sooner.

934
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 6: Hey guys, it's sharing me at Sully.

935
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 7: This is Tyler from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Mitch from Fort Benning, Georgia.

936
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 7: Is Peyton.

937
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 6: I'm calling from a closet at my workplace.

938
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 7: There's always that team in the top ten that polls

939
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 7: out of the top twenty five. Now I'm going with

940
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 7: Miami Hurricanes will finish the season unranked. This year will

941
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 7: tidy record that was sending twenty twenty two of teams

942
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 7: that are ranked in the AP preseason top twenty five

943
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 7: finishing the season unranked.

944
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 1: Which was fifteen teams.

945
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: It's the record.

946
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: I think this season we can.

947
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 6: See that many teams finish unranked as well.

948
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: This is finally the year that Ryan Day goes up

949
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 4: to Michigan and beats them by three touchdowns. No, if

950
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 4: fans butts about it. If not, he's gone. He's only

951
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: got one chance to do it, and this is what

952
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 4: he's got. Let's get it.

953
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 7: And my prediction for the twenty twenty five season is

954
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: that Ohio State goes eight to four and misses the

955
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 7: playoffs when in Oklahoma or Auburn and seep in the

956
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 7: conversations to be the set title game late in the season,

957
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 7: and the other has fired as coach before that. My

958
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 7: prediction for the twenty twenty five season is something that

959
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 7: has not happened since twenty sixteen, and that is that

960
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 7: all three Serve.

961
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 6: Academies, Armies, Navy, Air Force will go bowling. Noise will

962
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 6: make a Bowl game this year under Rich Rod during

963
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 6: his first year back, and beat those dirty Yankees from

964
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 6: up North to Pittsburgh champions.

965
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: They say it's important to be honest with yourself about

966
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 2: things that make you uncomfortable. So here we go. Number one,

967
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 2: Boise State will run the table. Number two Boise State

968
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: will make the playoffs. Number three Boise State will win

969
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: a playoff game. Number four I will root against Boise

970
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 2: State the entire time. And that's not a prediction, that's

971
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: a spoiler.

972
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: That is Shae Shay is our reverb engineer. Yes, even

973
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: though we said only one prediction, we will give him

974
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of latitude since he did such a

975
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: good job mixing these up. Thank you to the verballer

976
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: hood for calling in again. As a reminder for the

977
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: new folks out there. We open up the reverb line

978
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: every Saturday. You can call in as you're watching the games.

979
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: We mix these up, we put them together, and we

980
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: play them on our midnight stream just as a way.

981
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: So I guess, put our finger of the pulse on

982
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: the pulse of the verbaler hood.

983
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes we do.

984
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: We've got one thing left, Dan, all right, this may

985
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: be the reason that many people have tuned into this episode.

986
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: To be honest, play my chimes. Ty predictions are a

987
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 1: plenty this time of year. Everybody does predictions, Play my chimes.

988
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: Only the solid verbal does fantasy things. This has been

989
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: our go to life show concept since we started doing

990
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: live shows back in like twenty sixteen. Yes, this is

991
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things that we do. We've got

992
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: more of a streamlined version of it this year because

993
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: we're not doing live shows. But talk to the folks

994
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: out there, Dan, talk to the verballerhood, talk to the

995
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: new members of our community. What exactly are fantasy things?

996
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 3: Fantasy things? You're drafting narratives, you're drafting an occurrence, you're

997
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 3: drafting a trend, something that you feel like you enjoy,

998
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 3: that you keep seeing that happens during the college football

999
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 3: season that you want to make a bigger note of

1000
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 3: you want to plant a flag about and what we

1001
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 3: have done traditionally if we've turned that into a draft,

1002
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 3: I think this year it's more of a reveal, Yes,

1003
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: that we are just going to issue our bullet points

1004
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: of things we either hope happen or we think might

1005
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 3: happen from either a specific or broad standpoint.

1006
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: That's right. So for example, you might say Penn State's

1007
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: going to win the national championship, but I'm drafting that

1008
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: that is not specific enough correct for this concept. These

1009
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: aren't all serious things, Dan, In fact, most of them aren't.

1010
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: These are offbeat things. These are very esoteric things within

1011
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: the college football world. Our brains might be the only

1012
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: two brains out there that notice half of this stuff.

1013
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: But what do you got first on your list?

1014
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 3: As an example of that? By the way, it like

1015
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 3: h touch screens going wrong.

1016
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the past, I had uncontrollable touch screens. Yeah,

1017
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: We've had weird weather situations in.

1018
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 3: Games, mascots gone what live mascots going off.

1019
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: Script, We've had complicated scheme demonstrations on tiny studio fields. Yes,

1020
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: of course, So there's a lot of media stuff that

1021
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: creeps in here. One of the all time best was

1022
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: you had Dean Blandino is wrong.

1023
00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 3: It's tough.

1024
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: We love to celebrate those moments where you know your

1025
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: rules analyst is way off base.

1026
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 3: Where it's just like, guys, I don't see how they

1027
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: rule this a catch. Immediately going back to the broadcast,

1028
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, the receiver did come down with possession?

1029
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: First down I jotted down this year kind of in

1030
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: the same vein Matt Austin is afraid to take a side.

1031
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's great, no.

1032
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: Offense to Matt Austin. I feel like there were numerous

1033
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: occasions last year where Matt Austin was afraid to take aside.

1034
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: So I just the whole thing is taking aside the

1035
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: whole that's the whole job, or the like where Matt

1036
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: Matt Austin does not take a side.

1037
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: He sits on the fence where like he hedges. He's like,

1038
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 3: look to my eyes, that's a fumble. But I could

1039
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 3: see how they'd say he was down. Not everybody goes

1040
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 3: in cleats up like gene sterotor. You know, exactly right.

1041
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: So Matt Austin afraid to pick aside is one of

1042
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: the items I've got on my list. What do you

1043
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: have on yours?

1044
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 3: I have espionage. Okay, So we've had Waki leaks, we

1045
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: had the rumors of the store sorry about I think

1046
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 3: it was Utsa and Memphis with a disgruntled safety sharing information.

1047
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: A playbook, Yeah, we've.

1048
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 3: Had yeah, playbook or signals or we obviously had the

1049
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 3: Michigan situation and allegations. Any sort of espionage, drones, hacking,

1050
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: an exchange of playbooks within a briefcase like a you know,

1051
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 3: an FBI agent being arrested for working for the KGB,

1052
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: anything along those lines. Okay, espionage I would be entertained by.

1053
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be true, and.

1054
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: It seems like that's in vogue now. We're recording this,

1055
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: by the way, on Thursday afternoon. The public will hear

1056
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: this episode on Sunday, And shortly before we hit the

1057
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: go button today, there was news that broke that the

1058
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: NC doablea is a Guest is gonna officially reveal its

1059
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: findings with respect to the whole Michigan Connor Stallion's thing

1060
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: on Friday, So by the time people listen to this

1061
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: there could be some actual espionage news to discuss here.

1062
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 3: We also are rooting for a sport in which players

1063
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: routinely now leave a school after two, three or four

1064
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 3: games to transfer and maintain a red shirt. And if

1065
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 3: somebody leaves on bad terms, with bad blood, maybe they

1066
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: have some information for others. M Okay, so espionage I

1067
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: have on there as I'm hoping, but it's become recent.

1068
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 3: I have on here. Ohio State does not play at noon.

1069
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 3: I can't guarantee that this is a smart pick, but

1070
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: I feel like at some point.

1071
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you say, doesn't play a home game at noon?

1072
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 3: Doesn't play a home game at noon?

1073
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: Right, because if they're away from home, then all bets

1074
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: are off. But provided they're at home and there are

1075
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: some big ones at home. Yeah, this year, now, I

1076
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: will say, just in looking up and down their schedule,

1077
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: they do play Grambling State. That game is not at noon,

1078
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: but it is okay. They do play Ohio State, that High.

1079
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 3: State plays Ohio State.

1080
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State plays Ohio excuse Ohio. Okay, that's seven pm

1081
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 1: kickoff on Peacock. But in terms of like big non

1082
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: conference opponents or big in conference opponents, obviously the Texas

1083
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: game is going to be a nooner they're going to

1084
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: have some other options here, Minnesota coming to town, Penn

1085
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: State coming to town, Ucla Rutgers both coming to town

1086
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: as well. Curious to see those game times have not

1087
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: been revealed yet. We'll find those out a little bit

1088
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: later on down the road. It will be interesting to

1089
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: see if they get a conference game that is not

1090
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: being played at noon.

1091
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 3: Buddy, if Fox found out that people in Shanghai were

1092
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: willing to watch Ohio State games, they'd kick that stuff

1093
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 3: off at seven am to show o zempic commercials. I

1094
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 3: have Texas Tech has had an infusion of money. I

1095
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: think that's going to be a conversation.

1096
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, long, So you just think we're going to

1097
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: constantly find different ways to bring that up in the broadcasts.

1098
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 3: I think the more adventurous graphics crews are going to

1099
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 3: figure out ways to have money spouting out of oil wells.

1100
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 2: Right.

1101
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 3: I think we're going to see dollar dollar bill graphics

1102
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 3: involved with Texas Tech. And you know what.

1103
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: Cody Campbell's face on like a gumball machine, which, oh.

1104
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to see go to Campbell. There's just

1105
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 3: going to be some some allusion either explicit or implicit

1106
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 3: to the infusion of cash that Texas Tech has had.

1107
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 3: And let me continue this sentence and good for them,

1108
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 3: Good for them, Yeah, good for them. That's where the

1109
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 3: sport's at these days. Right next, I have Bill Belichick

1110
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 3: think some college rule is absolute horseshit, excuse my language.

1111
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 3: I think he has an immense ability to pay attention

1112
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 3: to detail. I don't think he's going to be caught

1113
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 3: by surprise by any on field or off field rule,

1114
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 3: but he might even adhere to the rule and then

1115
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 3: at a press conference after the game is going to

1116
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 3: like go on a tirade of like, what are we

1117
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 3: even doing? This makes no sense, This is just unbelievable

1118
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 3: that this is part of our game. There's going to

1119
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 3: be something like that. I have Greg Sankie laments that

1120
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 3: nobody respects the SEC's strength of schedule. That's too easy,

1121
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 3: that barrel dude, that is you already started that he's

1122
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 3: been doing that since July. Correct. That is going to

1123
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 3: be the ongoing PDF presentation. I have Hugh Freeze accepts

1124
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 3: responsibility for something literally anything.

1125
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 6: Now.

1126
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't think this is going to happen often, but

1127
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 3: when it hits, you're going to say, Dan told me

1128
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 3: that at some point, Hugh Freeze is going to do

1129
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 3: something completely out of character, brand new and accept responsibility

1130
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 3: for something could be anything, right, and you're gonna say

1131
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: Dan nailed that. In August fourteenth, did I have Dan

1132
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 3: Mullen visibly appears to regret going back into coaching.

1133
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: Oh, this is going to happen. This is one thousand

1134
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: percent going to happen.

1135
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: Dan Mullen has long been looking for new jobs when

1136
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 3: he's at Mississippi State. Whenever. I think there is going

1137
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 3: to be something about the challenge at UNLV that he's

1138
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: going to have like a Joe Bluth face. He's like

1139
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 3: made a giant mistake. Get it good? Is ESPN cracking

1140
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 3: wise on Florida on whoever? I know he can't get

1141
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 3: coaching out of his blood. I know things are very

1142
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 3: exciting right now at UNLV for Dan Mullen. I just

1143
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: think there are going to be certain realities that hit

1144
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 3: him about coaching in the Mountain West, or coaching a

1145
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 3: program that might have some financial issues that's not going

1146
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 3: to be super fun for him.

1147
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see. I mean, because the big rub

1148
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: on the end of the Mullin era at Florida was

1149
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: that he didn't recruit right, right, I mean, if you win.

1150
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 3: Recruiting was different.

1151
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: Now it recruits every but if you win more, obviously

1152
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: he can paper over some of that stuff. But he

1153
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: didn't win enough, and the recruiting wasn't there, And ultimately

1154
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: that was an easy case to build against a coach

1155
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: locker room in the SEC locker room wasn't there. I mean,

1156
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't just one thing. There was a bunch that

1157
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: went south. I'm curious to see now in this new setup,

1158
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: and I think we're in agreement that this, even if

1159
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: it works, even if it doesn't work, it's not a

1160
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: long term thing at UNLV for Mullen. I am curious

1161
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: to see though, over the short term if he's able

1162
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: to adapt recruiting, Like could it just be that he

1163
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: didn't like high school recruiting. Could it be that now

1164
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: recruiting out of the portal and maybe adopting the Dion

1165
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: strategy is something that is a little bit more his taste.

1166
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: I find that hard to believe.

1167
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what Barry Otem did at UNLV.

1168
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: So Barry Otem did right, and Barry otin was very

1169
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: successful doing it.

1170
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 3: And yeah, and UNLV money is probably more excited than

1171
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 3: it was three four years ago pre otum.

1172
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: So let's just like, let's see if Mullen is able

1173
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: to modify his ways and be a little bit better

1174
00:59:59,360 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: at recruiting the pl.

1175
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 3: I have Brett Bieliman needles another coach and giggles, Now.

1176
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. He seems like he's a megatroll. It

1177
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: seems like this is something that he's into.

1178
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 3: He does it on social media, he does it on

1179
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: the sideline. I love having it in the sport. I

1180
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 3: love talking your trash and backing it up. I have

1181
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 3: RG three gets horned up or goes rogue, but Jason

1182
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 3: Bennetti handles it gracefully and lands the plane.

1183
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Horned up RG three, I think is what we should

1184
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: tagline this with, Yes, horned up RG three. I jotted

1185
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: down RG three ripping on ESPN, but horned up RG

1186
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: three now back in the booth for Fox. I think

1187
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: is a great just.

1188
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 3: Him seeing a sideline shot of like left tackle's mom

1189
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 3: or something and saying and Jason Benetti bringing it back

1190
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 3: to third and eleven Robert something along those lines. I

1191
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 3: think is kind of a sure thing. What a great pairing.

1192
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's either gonna be a great pairing or we're

1193
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: gonna get you know, fourteen short weeks of fun, right,

1194
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: everybody goes their separate ways, and.

1195
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Then a very long, awful announcing post. Right. Yes, so

1196
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I've got one here that, frankly, I'm a little surprised

1197
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: you didn't bring out of retirement. Okay, you know how

1198
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: in the baseball draft, when a player doesn't sign, he's

1199
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: able to go back in the following year. Yes, for

1200
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the sake of argument here, let's just assume that this

1201
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: former Fantasy Things draft pick did not sign and is

1202
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: now eligible again. I think we have to bring a

1203
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: little bit of Baker Mayfield out of retirement because I've

1204
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: already started to see it with John Mattier. You know,

1205
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:50,439
Speaker 1: maybe this echoes in. This tracks with Baker Mayfield's own

1206
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: NFL career right where it started up hill Lull, where

1207
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: he's bout where did he go the Panthers and then

1208
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: the Rams for a minute, but then he just took

1209
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: i think the Bucks to the playoffs, right and got

1210
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: a huge contract.

1211
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Like so this this sort of mirrors Baker Mayfield in

1212
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 3: our consciousness.

1213
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Continue, this was first a draft pick by you when

1214
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: we did a live show out in Chicago in twenty eighteen.

1215
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: I went back and looked it up. John Mattier having

1216
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of Baker Mayfield in him is going

1217
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: to be all over the place this year, at least

1218
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: until something goes south with Oklahoma. If it goes south, right,

1219
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: But I am drafting John Matteer having a little bit

1220
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield in him. That's going to be a

1221
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: very popular talking point.

1222
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing with John Mattere just at least physically.

1223
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to have like the

1224
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 3: facial hair situation, but he's got a nice head of

1225
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 3: hair on him, and he wears a headband.

1226
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Baker Mayfield in him.

1227
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:50,479
Speaker 3: So what I'm saying just visually, Yeah, there's something there,

1228
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 3: not play style only, but play style's there. Of course,

1229
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: he's a dual threat and put up a ton of yards,

1230
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: scored a bunch of touchdowns to the air and on

1231
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 3: the ground, So you're not wrong. So I think that's

1232
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 3: a good pick. But it's not just a little bit

1233
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: of Baker Mayfield. It's a little bit of Baker Mayfield.

1234
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 7: Again.

1235
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Voice gotta go up in octave just to drop of

1236
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: the essence of Mayfield. That's right, that's right, it's little

1237
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield extract. I've got one here, Yeah, Dave Portnoy a

1238
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: NOI's urban Meyer.

1239
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have something very similar to this. Continue.

1240
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a near certainty. I feel

1241
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: like Fox is paying for this by bringing Dave Portnoy

1242
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: onto their pregame show. But Portnoy notably a Michigan man.

1243
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer notably not. They are bringing him on for

1244
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: shock value, sort of their version of the Pat McAfee experience.

1245
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will.

1246
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Be disappointed if this does not happen, But I just

1247
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: want to have it on the Fantasy Things roster for

1248
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: when it does, so that people can chime in. Send

1249
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: us tweets, leave us reverbs, the whole nine yards, send

1250
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: us email soliverbelgmail dot com. When this happens, I want

1251
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to hear from them for Ballerhood, because I want to

1252
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: be the first tell you that it was gonna happen.

1253
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: You already know it's gonna yeah, of course, just calling

1254
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: it out here in an official capacity the receipt show

1255
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that people know that I am watching

1256
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: for this very thing. You know, Fox takes some personnel swings.

1257
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Ty really is this new Fox does take some personnel

1258
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: swings and see if it works out. I have big

1259
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: noons Saturday devolves into chaos. But you could also say

1260
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the same thing about Game Day. With the way it's

1261
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: been the past few years. I mean it's like eight

1262
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: hours long, it's hard not to devolve into case true.

1263
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 3: So I think this is an easy pick. I think

1264
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 3: at some point, you know when a news anchor was

1265
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 3: missing all of a sudden, when they were just like,

1266
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 3: oh and uh, Dan Rather's on assignment, right, right, that's right,

1267
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be. There's gonna be something this season whereas

1268
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 3: somebody gets like mysteriously suspended.

1269
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rob Stone is on assignment. There's gonna be with

1270
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a personal matter, right, Rob Stone isn't here. We have

1271
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: nothing on, by the way, on my list anyway about

1272
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Gus Johnson or Joel Klatt. No, Well, we had last

1273
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: year that Joel Clatt would have his annual smile.

1274
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh.

1275
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 3: We loved Joel Clatt's annual smile.

1276
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: We saw it. I mean we celebrated here on the show. Yeah.

1277
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: And I do think we had something about Gus coming

1278
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: up with a couple nicknames, because that was on the

1279
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: heels of Maserati Marv, which he beat into the ground

1280
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: in one week. So I didn't want to go out

1281
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: there on Gus this year. I just sort of want

1282
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: to enjoy Gus in his natural habitat. Okay, fair enough,

1283
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: I've got a couple other things here. Very quickly, I

1284
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: have a five way tie. Okay, you know, all these

1285
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: conferences are huge now, and the tie breakers are very byzantine.

1286
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean they need their own website with their own

1287
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: Python script kind of running behind the scenes to figure

1288
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: all this crap out. We almost saw a six way tie.

1289
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: We thought we might see a six way tie last

1290
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: year in the MAC, right. I think there is an

1291
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: opera counity here again in the Big twelve. It goes

1292
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: without saying in the Big twelve, but maybe even in

1293
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: the ACC I think there's going to be, as I

1294
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: said earlier, a bit of a demolition derby. There not

1295
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: a four way tie. We've seen those before. A five

1296
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: way tie. Let's get real in the weeds with this thing.

1297
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 3: So essentially you're saying at the top or for like

1298
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 3: the second.

1299
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, at somewhere at the top, maybe

1300
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: not necessarily at the very top, but just to decide

1301
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: who gets into.

1302
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 3: The conference the second team to get in the conference

1303
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 3: championship game, and they're going to have to go to

1304
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 3: tie breaker letter J. Yeah, it would be great if.

1305
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: There were a five way tie for first in one

1306
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: of these conferences. Yeah, or we're really digging deep to

1307
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: try and figure.

1308
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 3: Out mathematically that might be tough. But yeah, I.

1309
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Don't think we've ever called this out before, bizarre training regimens.

1310
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 3: I like this, and I like what I mean by this.

1311
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: We've done the thing before where the new strength coach

1312
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: is paying dividends or the strength coach has a screw loose.

1313
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: We've always tend to focus a little bit on the.

1314
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: Striking an interesting appearance choice, right that the lightish medium

1315
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 3: shirt or the mud stash.

1316
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about the strength coach until we're blue

1317
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: in the face. But what we haven't talked enough about

1318
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: is some of the goofy training regimens that players are

1319
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: now engaged in these days. Okay, for me, I have

1320
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: history with this. I wrote an article back in the day,

1321
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and I'm showing my age a little bit here when j.

1322
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: Paterno was trying to teach Anthony Morelli how to read

1323
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: coverages by playing Madden.

1324
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 3: Yes.

1325
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: And I wrote an article about this, and a very

1326
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: prominent Penn State professor wrote to me I rate that

1327
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: I would even pen this, questioning my journalism, to which

1328
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: I said, this isn't journalism. They pay me to take potshots.

1329
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1330
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: There are things like this going on all the time, right,

1331
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: whether it's like the ar headsets or people doing questionable

1332
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: things with like truck tires to try and get ready

1333
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: for the season.

1334
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 3: Have you seen the Matthew Stafford stuff?

1335
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:50,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, exactly, a AB mortal, A mortal like he's

1336
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 5: in a trailer with infrared electronic good vibe signals.

1337
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: See. The reason that this comes to the forefront is

1338
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: because there is a need, more to the point, for

1339
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: eight hours of pregame coverage in these days. Yeah, and

1340
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: somebody will find what these things are and they'll put

1341
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: it on ESPN. So I don't know what it's going

1342
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: to be this year. I know I'm being vague with

1343
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: the selection, but somebody's bizarre training regimen is going to

1344
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: show up on your Saturday morning television and I want

1345
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: to be the first to tell you about it.

1346
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 3: You want the twenty twenty five Rob tbou having Tim

1347
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 3: pushing trucks and chopping wood.

1348
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: That's a better play quarterback. That's right, That's right. Okay,

1349
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: And my final thing here in this is very very

1350
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: in the weeds granted a new iblack design, and what

1351
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean by that is, I feel like we have

1352
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: seen multiple iterations of how players are using their EyeBlack.

1353
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 3: They go Biblical, they go Reggie Bush with the area code.

1354
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, they go Jackson Dart with the Anakin Skywalker. Look, yes,

1355
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see what's next. I don't know.

1356
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean seeing Riley Leonard what the crosses was new

1357
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: for me? Well, no it wasn't. Tua did that. Yeah,

1358
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Tua did it. But I just feel like we saw

1359
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: more of it last year, right to the extent now

1360
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: where it's actually in the college football video game.

1361
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 3: Right, We've we've seen the passages and now we've also

1362
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 3: seen the crosses for the past few years. Yeah, so that's.

1363
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: Picked up a little bit of steam. I just want

1364
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: to see what's next. Okay, there will be something new.

1365
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: There always is a Venmo account written in the Ieblack.

1366
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,640
Speaker 3: Not you did in Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State tried to

1367
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 3: do that. Yep, Yeah, Venmo actually with John Mattier and

1368
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 3: by the way, sidebar here, whatever he was doing on Venmo,

1369
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 3: if you're paying off a gambling debt allegedly, right, who

1370
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 3: would write on Venmo sports gambling? Nobody, Nobody would write

1371
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 3: sports gambling unless it's a goof. You wouldn't write crimes

1372
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 3: on your.

1373
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Those of us. For those of us who are steeped

1374
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: in the tradition of using the paypals and the Venmos

1375
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and the other cash apps, your zell's to pay for

1376
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 1: actual gambling things like pools and whatnot. Everybody who knows

1377
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: what they're doing knows that you list it as dinner, yeah, sandwich,

1378
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: or as dolls or as some any other emoji out there.

1379
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: You do do sports gammes, sports take carre. That is

1380
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: how I am certain escorts thank you. That is how

1381
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 1: I am certain that this is not a real thing.

1382
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Nobody does this.

1383
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he apologized, so there is some acknowledgment that

1384
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 3: he used Venmo improperly, but I I am not buying

1385
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 3: the sports gambling parentheses USC versus UCLA and BRENTA. I

1386
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 3: just I don't know. It seems very stilly to me. Okay, continue,

1387
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Venmo in general could continue as a fantasy

1388
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 3: thing this year.

1389
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: Venmo could be interesting. Do we want to add that

1390
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: to the list?

1391
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 3: Sure? Just Venmo, a Venmo story, any sort of digital

1392
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 3: cash trans action. Like Hugh Freeze is completely bankrupt after

1393
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 3: investing in a meme coin. Write that down. I've done

1394
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,520
Speaker 3: completely broke gambling.

1395
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:19,560
Speaker 1: On Abby Coen, Hugh Freeze.

1396
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 3: I think these are all quality tie. I think these

1397
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 3: are all great. Like them, there's a lot of innovation needed. Right,

1398
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 3: So when you were talking about innovation and iblack, what

1399
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 3: about innovation in terms of the Chris Collinsworth slide in

1400
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 3: right when the two broadcast partners first greet the audience

1401
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 3: at home, Because there's like a clatt Gus Johnson, how

1402
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 3: do you do?

1403
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 2: Right?

1404
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 3: They do? They do something? So I want to see

1405
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 3: because this is also what this is the final year

1406
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 3: of Gary Danielson. Yes, I want to see if he

1407
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 3: and Brad Nessler, if they're fist bumping, if there's a handshake,

1408
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 3: if there's a slide, if there's a three sixty, if

1409
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: there's a kiss on the cheek, some kind of acknowledgment. God, right,

1410
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 3: I would love to see some sort of innovation.

1411
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: A kiss on the cheek would be the fire for

1412
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: a million blog posts out there, right, I need to

1413
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: go into that.

1414
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, if there was something something new and creative,

1415
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 3: like somebody doing the like the canoe into the into

1416
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 3: the frame, or like a Brian wyndhorse spin.

1417
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 1: So you're talking about an entrance essentially, I'm.

1418
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 3: Talking about an entrance. I'm talking about a creative entrance.

1419
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 3: RG three. If you're listening, this could be your new

1420
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 3: calling card.

1421
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Cole Kubolick's got some potential as well on

1422
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,600
Speaker 1: the sidelines, that's true. Calls a high energy guy. He

1423
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 1: cares about the game, he cares about the sport.

1424
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 3: Do smelling salts on camera for your first hit.

1425
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,440
Speaker 1: I could see him coming in on a parachute.

1426
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 3: Oh he's aerodynamic with the shaved head. Yeah, of course, absolutely.

1427
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 3: This is what I want. I want sideline innovation, I

1428
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 3: want both innovation. Really make me think about it.
