Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal coll that for me, I'm

Speaker 2: And Dan and Tye welcome back to the Solid Verbal

Speaker 1: Dan, Yeah, we are available on Spotify, so if you're
Speaker 1: listening to music, you can have your podcast right there too,
Speaker 1: no problem. How you feeling, brother, I'm feeling pretty good, Ty,
Speaker 1: surprisingly for staying up far past my bedtime for an
Speaker 1: overtime exciting, excellent National Championship game, and waking up pretty early,
Speaker 1: especially I think my wife had an early meeting on
Speaker 1: top of everything. I feel good, though. I have to
Speaker 1: tell you something that is going to sound harsh, But
Speaker 1: we're all about honestly sure, We're all about being up front.
Speaker 1: You don't sound great basically right now? I left it
Speaker 1: all on the field, Dan, if you continue to deteriorate
Speaker 1: and it affects your performance. About halfway through this show,
Speaker 1: I've got a younger Hawaiian co host. He's left handed,
Speaker 1: He's ready to go and really pick up the slack.
Speaker 1: He he's got a deep voice if you see what
Speaker 1: I did there. Yeah, and I've come to calling him
Speaker 1: tai a tiger voloa.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm ready to pull that trigger should the
Speaker 1: need arise.
Speaker 2: Well, you might do my best to make it through here, okay,
Speaker 2: because we got one more game to talk about. Dan
Speaker 2: and I are both home from our trip our exploits,
Speaker 2: our journey to Atlanta. Had a great time down there.
Speaker 2: Hopefully folks had a chance to check out all the
Speaker 2: cool stuff we did on Facebook and the live show
Speaker 2: was awesome, incredible. That's going to be posted next Wednesday
Speaker 2: in place of our normal weekly show. We promised to
Speaker 2: put the audio up for that. I went through it
Speaker 2: yesterday and you know, just so much fun. We had
Speaker 2: special guests come up and talk about what went on
Speaker 2: in the world of college football. So really good to
Speaker 2: get out meet people that support the show and do
Speaker 2: it at the side of the national championship no les,
Speaker 2: which made it a little bit more special.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that our listeners are just as
Speaker 1: weird and fun as we try to be. It was
Speaker 1: a complete fun experience. Can't wait to do it again.
Speaker 1: And also the fact that we had a great game
Speaker 1: to talk about that even with all the bitching and
Speaker 1: moaning that and I think to a certain degree we
Speaker 1: did a little bit that we were a little disappointed
Speaker 1: that quarterback play going into the game wasn't as sexy
Speaker 1: as perhaps previous national championships, but that we just had
Speaker 1: a full on great football game to watch.
Speaker 2: What an incredible way to close out the college football season.
Speaker 2: Really truly the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat
Speaker 2: for our purposes here the ultimate backup better than the
Speaker 2: starter moment with two a tonguea viola mm hmm. Getting
Speaker 2: the second half start for Alabama leading the tie to
Speaker 2: a championship in overtime. You couldn't have scripted it any
Speaker 2: better yourself, Dan, The game really had I think a
Speaker 2: little bit everything you had, the youth movement, YEP, missed opportunities,
Speaker 2: some questionable calls and non calls which maybe we could
Speaker 2: talk about, and of course most importantly because not only
Speaker 2: are we an honest show, but we're also a very
Speaker 2: self aware show. We saw a particular celiverbal bump for
Speaker 2: guys that we interned my Facebook live stint.
Speaker 1: Mccol Hardman, Levi Wallace with a huge third down stop.
Speaker 2: Anthony Everett had a nice sat at one.
Speaker 1: Point, Anthony Averett, both Christian Miller and Jamie Moseley and
Speaker 1: on the action a ton it was. It was a
Speaker 1: good day for the solid verbal bump in both directs.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned is the backup better than the starter?
Speaker 1: Which is like the obvious thing, but full on in
Speaker 1: this game, it was is the former walk on better
Speaker 1: than the scholarship corner for Alabama?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Or just is he just more of a factor? Levi
Speaker 1: Wallace was fantastic you have? Is the student better than
Speaker 1: the teacher? Kurry smart? You had? Is the little brother
Speaker 1: more impactful than the big brother? With Riley Ridley and
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, So there were so many different like here's
Speaker 1: my hot question of the moment and it actually paid
Speaker 1: off to and just an incredibly entertaining watch from start
Speaker 1: to finish for somebody who wasn't rooting for either team.
Speaker 1: I apologize Georgia fans, and we will get to how
Speaker 1: to deal with losing in a national championship game in
Speaker 1: a heartbreaking way. Nobody is more experienced than myself and
Speaker 1: Oregon fans everywhere over the last few years than what
Speaker 1: this feeling feels like.
Speaker 2: So here's what we're going to do here. He took
Speaker 2: calls on the reverb blind. We got text messages. I
Speaker 2: was messaging with people TI about one am. I'm not kidding,
Speaker 2: all right. We were talking about to a time, and
Speaker 2: you know all sorts of I was talking movies, Christopher Nolan,
Speaker 2: movies with one verballer.
Speaker 1: No dog shots came in.
Speaker 2: No dog shots.
Speaker 1: Thanks, That's the win right there.
Speaker 2: Very very fun to interact with, folks. Here were your
Speaker 2: college football playoff national championship reverbs have all this same.
Speaker 3: Damn Hi for the final time, I must know, do
Speaker 3: you believe that you can win this fight tonight? Tie
Speaker 3: and Dan. This is Luke calling from ur Rah, Alabama.
Speaker 4: Hey, this is great in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Monty in Cleveland.
Speaker 5: Craig South Bend, Indiana.
Speaker 6: This is Jonathan from Alabama getting ready for my twenty
Speaker 6: eighteen national cruck putting that bulldog meat is going to
Speaker 6: be nice and tender.
Speaker 3: It's Mamma Georgia.
Speaker 6: It's the sec points just mean more three nothing. I
Speaker 6: might have just sealed it for the dogs. Dealing Hurst
Speaker 6: is really not that good of a quarterback, and I
Speaker 6: should know. I'm Marlen Turpins. Fam.
Speaker 4: I think I had to personally blame Kendrick Lamar for
Speaker 4: the the letdown that was this Alabama comeback. I believe
Speaker 4: that hope was gone and then somehow Kendrick Lamar breathed
Speaker 4: it back into existence to the tide.
Speaker 1: Honey, it's halftime and this mad's still cold.
Speaker 6: Ah crap, I forgot to plug in the crock pot.
Speaker 6: Heh it'll be done right after regulation.
Speaker 2: Of law. Oh my god, he no scoped that throw?
Speaker 6: What's over under? For number of the followers demanding CUA
Speaker 6: get a dood alert because I'm going to take the.
Speaker 3: Over Georgia, I am so so sorry for you, guys.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Searching nothing at half and up three points with a
Speaker 3: second and twenty six in overtime.
Speaker 6: Somehow Georgia managed to out Georgia themselves. Congratulations, Alabama. I
Speaker 6: just watched my crimson. Time to come back. Two thirteen
Speaker 6: down to the true freshman backup, and all I have
Speaker 6: to say is to the argument is settled to the
Speaker 6: best barbecue to taste, Hawaiian barbecue torul Tide, What fun
Speaker 6: dead fun dings to a National.
Speaker 3: Tim game when you're a war Eagle fan.
Speaker 6: All things considered, that's about as good as it could
Speaker 6: have gone.
Speaker 4: I get to make Alabama kick your jokes forever and
Speaker 4: give Georgia fans wrap forever.
Speaker 2: Perfect Warrior.
Speaker 5: I'm walking home in about twelve fifty at night, and
Speaker 5: naturally the streets are completely asleep because no one in
Speaker 5: New York he has about college football. But I am
Speaker 5: wide awake because that was one of the most amazing
Speaker 5: games I've ever seen in my life. Alabama one again
Speaker 5: and I'm currently deleting all major forms of social media
Speaker 5: City next year. And I think BAMLA took a different
Speaker 5: approach to this game. Instead of a crock potting or
Speaker 5: a microwaving, I think they wanted a panini because at
Speaker 5: one point they just put the sandwich in and they
Speaker 5: finished it.
Speaker 2: Go down and we'll see you next season for the
Speaker 2: exact same thing.
Speaker 6: Hi Anthony from Australia, And all I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Say is God, Baby, I'm out here in the country
Speaker 3: and I declare I can't hear any of those folks
Speaker 3: that said Alabama should not have been in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Row row there you go, Dan, Uh yeah, big thanks
Speaker 2: to our friend Taylor, our trusted deputy Taylor, who woke
Speaker 2: up early this morning to put those together on our behalf.
Speaker 2: He was adamant about putting one more together. He said,
Speaker 2: there's one more big game. Make sure you tell folks
Speaker 2: that the line is open. And as you can hear,
Speaker 2: we got a bunch of excitable calls. So thank you
Speaker 2: again for calling four oh eight verbal one. The reverb
Speaker 2: blind for now is a actively closed Thank you for
Speaker 2: your participation. It always makes the game more fun.
Speaker 1: We'll open it up during the Iowa State spring game broadcast.
Speaker 1: Sure right, that's where we will be selective in getting
Speaker 1: your feedback.
Speaker 2: So, okay, Alabama twenty six, Georgia twenty three in overtime.
Speaker 2: I you know, let's just talk through this, Dan, Let's see,
Speaker 2: let's take the temperature. I felt from the jump that
Speaker 2: it might not be the best night for Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: because you'll remember the way the game started. Bama picks
Speaker 2: off Jake from opening drive. Yep, Alabama gets good field position,
Speaker 2: they get some tempo. Herts has Calvin Ridley wide open,
Speaker 2: streaking to the end zone and he can't connect.
Speaker 1: Right overthrows him a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was kind of his story in the
Speaker 2: first half. He was three of eight, only twenty one yards.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was any better or worse
Speaker 2: than he's been all year, but he just didn't give
Speaker 2: him any spark and there were a couple missed opportunities
Speaker 2: that he left out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, he was mostly succeeding with his legs,
Speaker 1: and they turned that opening pick intwo. I believe that
Speaker 1: was the badly missed field goal, which I guess book
Speaker 1: ended the game the regular the regulation for Alabama, and
Speaker 1: then it was three out of the next four drives
Speaker 1: worth three and outs. It was just it was ugly,
Speaker 1: It was a rhythmic, It was uninspired and didn't seem
Speaker 1: to be fully cohesive in terms of what Alabama was
Speaker 1: trying to do. It was a lot of sort of
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts right, Jalen hurts left, you know, Jalen hurts
Speaker 1: count or whatever, and which is fine. It takes advantage
Speaker 1: of an extremely talented runner, but in terms of getting
Speaker 1: him comfortable as a thrower with completable passes early. Something
Speaker 1: that Chris Brown talked about on our Scheme preview show,
Speaker 1: just in general, how quarterbacks get going in these huge
Speaker 1: games to get nerves out. It didn't seem like Brian
Speaker 1: Dable and the offensive coaching staff fully put Alabama in
Speaker 1: a great position and on the flip side tie. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have thoughts about this. Georgia went over
Speaker 1: the top to try to get Jake from comfortable so
Speaker 1: much so that and I know there were RPOs, so
Speaker 1: he had the option the ability to hand it off
Speaker 1: to whoever Chubb or Sony Michelle or DeAndre Swift. But
Speaker 1: they start out with seven straight pass attempts of one
Speaker 1: of which was or the first of which was first
Speaker 1: or second that was that was picked off a bad
Speaker 1: throw down the left sideline. So it was it was
Speaker 1: interesting to see how the different coaching staffs went into
Speaker 1: this game in terms of how do we get this
Speaker 1: offense in a rhythm philosophically. It was interesting.
Speaker 2: I texted you what three quarters the way through the
Speaker 2: first half, Yeah, I was, I was fading fast, you were.
Speaker 2: It was tough to watch.
Speaker 1: You know the fact that neither one of these offenses
Speaker 1: was you know, we had a couple what early field
Speaker 1: goals from Georgia. They'd drive down the field, one of
Speaker 1: which was pretty methodical. I think it was thirteen or
Speaker 1: fourteen drives, and that's great get points on the board.
Speaker 1: It's not a game that you should be worried about
Speaker 1: kicking field goals instead of getting six just because the
Speaker 1: defenses are so good. I don't think, you know, either
Speaker 1: one of these teams expected a shootout that they had
Speaker 1: to stake chances early on. But certainly there were plays
Speaker 1: left on the field, There were overthrows, there were just
Speaker 1: lapses in focus.
Speaker 2: Georgia offensively didn't exactly light the world on fire in
Speaker 2: the first half, but to your point, they went over
Speaker 2: the top to try and get from comfortable and they
Speaker 2: definitely had control of the game. They definitely dictated the
Speaker 2: terms of the game, which I thought was a big
Speaker 2: deal for them from as a whole. If you look
Speaker 2: at his box score, the numbers aren't outstanding, but I'm
Speaker 2: telling you he looked out standing for a good chunk
Speaker 2: of that football game. What was he sixteen to thirty two?
Speaker 2: That's not indicative of the kind of game he had,
Speaker 2: especially in the first half, where he was making a
Speaker 2: bunch of big throws, was very poised in the pocket.
Speaker 2: You know, he had the bad interception to start. He
Speaker 2: had the goofy interception in the second half which bounced
Speaker 2: off a guy's head. But you know, I just hope
Speaker 2: that the ink didn't dry on Justin Field's letter of
Speaker 2: intent yet, because if from continues to play the way
Speaker 2: we saw in the first half, and if he continues
Speaker 2: to improve over the course of his college career, there's
Speaker 2: not going to be room for anybody else. He was
Speaker 2: outstanding in this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he will be the starter for two more years,
Speaker 1: barring injury or some sort of significant yip situation. And also,
Speaker 1: and to your point, it helps the fact that Alabama's
Speaker 1: offense was off the field so quickly and Jake Fromm
Speaker 1: was able to get comfortable in the first half, and
Speaker 1: the fact that, honestly, the Georgia defense was inspiring enough
Speaker 1: given the fact that they had to cover what twelve
Speaker 1: yards of field? Ye, what was the threat with Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts at all times? And listen, it's been amazing watching
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. The best version of Jalen Hurts these past
Speaker 1: couple of years. But early on you mentioned the mystar
Speaker 1: early to the corner of the end zone. I was
Speaker 1: flipping to the coach's feed the film room on whatever
Speaker 1: was ESPN news during commercial breaks, and they kept rewinding.
Speaker 1: There was a post pattern in the red zone where
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was protected. He could have stepped in and
Speaker 1: hit Ridley in the rhythm that he should have and
Speaker 1: just didn't. Just didn't have that. And if nothing else,
Speaker 1: if there are at criticisms a valid criticism of to
Speaker 1: attack of iLoo, would we'll get to in the second half,
Speaker 1: much more of a rhythm thrower, much more confident in
Speaker 1: his abilities to the detriment of some throws. A little
Speaker 1: too confident perhaps, Yeah, Yeah, But that was ultimately the
Speaker 1: spark that he had that Jalen Hurts, at least for
Speaker 1: the past I don't know, a month or so. That
Speaker 1: flame just sort of went out it hopefully just temporarily.
Speaker 2: You know. I tried to watch the coaches feed. I
Speaker 2: enjoyed it so much. During the Rose Bowl. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was like a wall of sound, just an amorphous blob
Speaker 2: of sound, at least through i'd say a quarter and
Speaker 2: a half of the coaches feed they were all talking
Speaker 2: at the same time. Down the stretch it got a
Speaker 2: lot better and you got some individual analysis from Kevin
Speaker 2: someone in my Gundy and David Cutcliffe was putting on
Speaker 2: a virtual clinic. But at least in the early part
Speaker 2: of that, I was a little bit underwhelmed because you know,
Speaker 2: you couldn't really decipher what was going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and seven people on TV is just a lot
Speaker 1: the six coaches and who was it was Tom Lougan
Speaker 1: Bill doing the sort of not narration, but he was.
Speaker 1: He was the air traffic controller of sorts. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought that was fun. I thought it was good, and
Speaker 1: it was it was cool. Gundhy and Cutcliff, I thought
Speaker 1: stood out to me as just being interesting voices in
Speaker 1: the room. Someone had some thoughts obviously playing Alabama as
Speaker 1: much as he had, but at least going into the half,
Speaker 1: it just seemed And what was the score at half thirteen? Nothing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen, it.
Speaker 1: Was thirteen nothing. That if there was any one specific
Speaker 1: thing that Georgia succeeded in doing more than anything, it
Speaker 1: was doing what Alabama does to teams. I tweeted this
Speaker 1: out from the Solid Verbal account and that is getting
Speaker 1: Alabama out of its comfort zone. And you can win
Speaker 1: out of your comfort zone. But Alabama's mo is always
Speaker 1: just to step on your neck until you start doing
Speaker 1: things that are uncharacteristic for how you usually succeed. And
Speaker 1: that's what Georgia in going up thirteen nothing and they
Speaker 1: were really good on third downs, over and over and
Speaker 1: third in a lot. They were, you know, Sony Michelle, ridiculous, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a ridiculous talent, tiptoeing down the sideline. It was
Speaker 1: third and ten, it was thirty eleven, it was third
Speaker 1: and twenty, whatever the case that they just kept extending dry.
Speaker 1: And I thought the play calling from Jim Cheney, especially
Speaker 1: in the first half, was exceptional. And ultimately that the
Speaker 1: fact that Alabama had to play phrenetically, which you know
Speaker 1: we're going to get to right now, that was insane
Speaker 1: to watch because we're not used that. We've seen it
Speaker 1: at moments against teams like Ole Miss when it gets
Speaker 1: to a shootout or text A and M these past
Speaker 1: few years. But really, those Alabama teams were prepared to
Speaker 1: play like this, whereas going to a backup quarterback because
Speaker 1: nothing was working in the first half sort of indicated
Speaker 1: to everybody that like, Alabama needs something. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: it's like when you go to goal line defense the
Speaker 1: whole time playing NCAA because you keep getting run on,
Speaker 1: you get out of what actually should work well.
Speaker 2: Georgia led thirteen to nil at half, and long before that,
Speaker 2: you and I were texting and wondering if or when
Speaker 2: it was going to be too a time. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: was texting with people on the reverb line. I was
Speaker 2: telling him, I'm like, it's coming. You said it on
Speaker 2: the preview show, and just like that, Nick Saban, you
Speaker 2: all remember that crazy bastard yanks his starter, his starter,
Speaker 2: mind you, with a career record of twenty five and
Speaker 2: two in the second half of the National freaking Championship
Speaker 2: Game in favor of a true freshman from Hawaii by
Speaker 2: the name of Tua Tongua Baroa and Dan. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: when we started to see the tide turn.
Speaker 1: Oh Tye, I appreciate what you just did there, because
Speaker 1: you are very much on brand for yourself. Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: has exclusively led Alabama to National championship games. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: has done nothing else for Alabama but lead them. And
Speaker 1: I say that as not saying he's done nothing else,
Speaker 1: but he has you know, he has never led them
Speaker 1: to a lesser situation, which is incredible to see. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, the stones it takes to not
Speaker 1: just bring into it to see if he can provide
Speaker 1: a spark and then go back to Jalen Hurts, who
Speaker 1: sort of has calmed down now that he sees the
Speaker 1: game from a different perspective. No, the second half was
Speaker 1: two as even with bad picks, even with you know,
Speaker 1: sort of looking uncomfortable, when he scrambled out of that
Speaker 1: sure sack to extend play and extend the drive, that
Speaker 1: was that was incredible. That was something special that I
Speaker 1: did not see coming because two is just not I mean,
Speaker 1: he's athletic and ridiculous, but he is not the athlete
Speaker 1: that Jalen Hurts very clearly is, and for him to
Speaker 1: make that kind of play and they were running to
Speaker 1: a left, to a right, and he ultimately led them
Speaker 1: in carries by a pretty wide margin. But the fact
Speaker 1: that they were able to come out in the second
Speaker 1: half with that sort of confidence and say game is yours,
Speaker 1: we are being shut out. Give us something, and he
Speaker 1: very quickly did incredible.
Speaker 2: There was about a ninety minute window last night where
Speaker 2: Twitter servers were being powered exclusively by bad tua takes
Speaker 2: like Jack Dorsey was over there, just shovel him in
Speaker 2: like a coal engine. Was it a desperation move by
Speaker 2: Saban or was it just the only move that he had?
Speaker 2: Because I go back and forth on it. You can't
Speaker 2: look at what he did, pulling a guy with the
Speaker 2: credentials of Jalen Hurts and say that there it didn't
Speaker 2: wreak a little bit of desperation, you know, a little
Speaker 2: bit of trying to set a new spark. I get that,
Speaker 2: but on some level you have to have confidence. Nick
Speaker 2: Saban has done this time and time again. He's the
Speaker 2: best coach at college football for a reason. If he
Speaker 2: made the move, it was not just him grasping at straws.
Speaker 2: He saw something that he thought could give them an advantage,
Speaker 2: and lo and behold twoa comes in, he leads into victory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not a frozen it's not a cold
Speaker 1: toa he has He threw about eighty passes this year,
Speaker 1: and most of the time are all of the time
Speaker 1: they were up double digits in those moments. But this
Speaker 1: is somebody who has seen the field against good defenses
Speaker 1: trying to attack a true freshman quarterback, albeit for the
Speaker 1: most part unsuccessfully. He ran it about thirty times during
Speaker 1: the season, So there is warmth to Tua's muscles, his
Speaker 1: football muscles. That sounds very weird now that myself say
Speaker 1: it out loud, No, but there is you know, there
Speaker 1: is experience, and he is a bit seasoned, so I
Speaker 1: think there was confidence. Obviously, the way he must have
Speaker 1: been performing and practice gave Alabama Nick Saban and Brian
Speaker 1: Dable the confidence to roll him out in the second
Speaker 1: half because with the way Georgia's defense was playing, notably
Speaker 1: up front, not giving Alabama anything on the ground, rokwand
Speaker 1: Smith was incredible. Whistle to whistle. They couldn't hang with,
Speaker 1: let alone beat Georgia without any sort of downfield passing
Speaker 1: threat to open anything up. And it wasn't desperation. It
Speaker 1: was the only thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah to me. Well, he came in and he instantly
Speaker 2: gave them more of a vertical threat. Yeah, and that
Speaker 2: you're right, that is what started to open things up.
Speaker 2: He started to get the sense midway through the third
Speaker 2: quarter and things are getting a little weird out there
Speaker 2: to what comes in throws a touchdown pass to Henry
Speaker 2: Ruggs to make it thirteen to seven. Jake from answers
Speaker 2: with an awesome eighty yard er to our boy McCole Hardman,
Speaker 2: who had a huge game touchdown on the ground and
Speaker 2: through the air. Yes, just like that. George's back up
Speaker 2: by two, scores twenty to seven. Ensuing drive to it
Speaker 2: comes in, forces a lollipop into quadruple coverage, some sort
Speaker 2: of miscommunication, but Georgia gets it back and again, ensuing possession.
Speaker 2: Jake from doinks a pass off to Sean Han's helmet
Speaker 2: right into the willing, waiting, comforting arms of Raykwon Davis,
Speaker 2: which gives Bama the ball back. They march down the field.
Speaker 2: They get a field goal to make it twenty ten.
Speaker 2: Even in that moment, George's defense was still pretty stout.
Speaker 2: This is an excellent defense. How many times have we
Speaker 2: seen it? When Alabama gets a big play from its
Speaker 2: defensive line, from its defense, they get a turnover, they
Speaker 2: instantly use that to begin the crock potting, if you will.
Speaker 2: George's defense was such that they were not going to
Speaker 2: allow that to happen. They were not going to allow
Speaker 2: Alabama to write any kind of heater, and I thought
Speaker 2: a really strong testament to what they're doing down there.
Speaker 1: And it should also be noted that there were a
Speaker 1: couple of calls early.
Speaker 2: On in Ah, Yes, let's talk about those.
Speaker 1: That were not wonderful. Now, I will not go and
Speaker 1: I very seldom do, especially when a team is up,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty to seven at a certain point, and
Speaker 1: an offense has repeated opportunities to extend the lead and doesn't.
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is that jump on
Speaker 1: the block punts. Yeah, that wasn't off sides Dan, it
Speaker 1: seemed in the moment it seemed it because he jumped
Speaker 1: before the ball was snapped, but didn't actually get into
Speaker 1: the neutral zone, didn't cross the line of scrimmage. It
Speaker 1: was just a accidental great jump. Who's to say, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he was really like honed in on
Speaker 1: focused on the long snapper, but that would have given
Speaker 1: George the ball in the red zone. Yeah, so it
Speaker 1: seems at the very least that gives them three more.
Speaker 1: And also there was the non clear face mask on
Speaker 1: third down that that forced Georgia to punt, and I
Speaker 1: think it's set up fourth and thirteen or fourteen. Those
Speaker 1: were bad calls, those shifted rhythm in that moment.
Speaker 2: Like I could deal with missing a face mask or
Speaker 2: a personal foul or even that pass interference towards the
Speaker 2: end on Malcolm Parish, which was questionable. I could deal
Speaker 2: with that. But you can't mess up false starts and
Speaker 2: off sides, man, you can. I mean, he was a
Speaker 2: false start on that touchdown that Bama scored on fourth down,
Speaker 2: the one that sharted the game. That was a false
Speaker 2: start on the receiver on the bottom. They didn't call
Speaker 2: it either. And I'm like you, I don't go so
Speaker 2: far as to say that Georgia would have won if calls,
Speaker 2: if these calls had gone their way, because clearly there
Speaker 2: was a lot more at play here. But Georgia definitely
Speaker 2: got the short end of that stick in this football game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I think Alabama won the game fair
Speaker 1: and square outright, and that they took advantage of opportunities,
Speaker 1: and that referees are humans, and that Georgia again had opportunities.
Speaker 1: They I think were scoreless for the last quarter and
Speaker 1: a half. Correct. Yeah, So, yes, Georgia on those specific
Speaker 1: calls and in those specific moments screwed. They were. It
Speaker 1: doesn't it's not gonna sit well. It's not gonna sit
Speaker 1: well for a long time, just in the way that
Speaker 1: I still make jokes about Michael Dyer being down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing I can do by making those jokes over and
Speaker 1: over again. But you know, it's it's gonna sting for
Speaker 1: a while. The fact is, though, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to ask you to play the music, at least not yet, Tye.
Speaker 1: But the final you know, the second half drive chart
Speaker 1: of Georgia is not pretty dramatic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you.
Speaker 1: Know, after it was you know, it's after the initial
Speaker 1: punt and they score on the long McCole Hardman catch,
Speaker 1: which was just a superb throw from Jake from they
Speaker 1: throw it was the sort of tipped interception off ahead
Speaker 1: to I think it was ray Kwon Davis. But that's
Speaker 1: It's four straight punts to end the game for Georgia
Speaker 1: to drive down the field. And I know they started
Speaker 1: really sort of backed up most of the time, but
Speaker 1: they had the opportunities to put the game away and
Speaker 1: they did not.
Speaker 2: The score was twenty to ten at the end of
Speaker 2: the third quarter, which brought us to the fourth. If
Speaker 2: you're like us, if you follow along on Twitter, the indomitable.
Speaker 2: Chris Felicka from Game Day tweeted out that three of
Speaker 2: the last four national champions had actually trailed going into
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Ooh, okay, interesting little factoid. Yeah last
Speaker 2: night obviously.
Speaker 1: Do you think Tom Hammond likes that interesting little five?
Speaker 2: I'm certain he did.
Speaker 1: It's driving him bananas.
Speaker 2: After last night. You can make it four of five.
Speaker 2: Here's what happened. Alabama's defense held. Their offense got a
Speaker 2: boost from Nase Harris, a top recruit from a year ago,
Speaker 2: the third running back on their depth chart, also a freshman,
Speaker 2: big freshman presence in this football game. He actually ended
Speaker 2: up leading the team in rushing yards. By the time
Speaker 2: all was said and done, this whole game really what
Speaker 2: an incredible case for building depth. I know we talked
Speaker 2: about it at the top of the show, but I
Speaker 2: was trying to think in my mind, like what is
Speaker 2: the best way that I can describe this? And the
Speaker 2: one thing that kept coming to mind, maybe because it's
Speaker 2: cold here, but you know the scene in Dumb and
Speaker 2: Dumber when Jim Carrey reveals that he's got a second
Speaker 2: pair of gloves hidden. Yes, of course, that's how I
Speaker 2: feel about Alabama's depth. At this point, they have so
Speaker 2: many weapons.
Speaker 1: Dan, you had another five star this whole time, exactly,
Speaker 1: and then obviously, you know, a suitcase full of money.
Speaker 1: You know, there's the association that you can draw TI,
Speaker 1: you can draw that. No, and the fact that Nase
Speaker 1: Harris does my favorite underrated running back thing. That is
Speaker 1: the greatest thing to see if it's your running back,
Speaker 1: and the worst possible thing to see if it's an
Speaker 1: opposing running back, where oh, he's gonna get tripped up
Speaker 1: for four yards he just stumbled for like nine more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what the hell?
Speaker 1: That incredible balance. And you know, we've talked to people
Speaker 1: about like what separates a three star six foot two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen pound running back from a five star.
Speaker 1: I'd say it's balance. Especially you watch Sony Michelle tipto
Speaker 1: down the sideline in the first half. You watch Naj
Speaker 1: Harris just completely dominates in just sort of weaving, threw
Speaker 1: an unbelievable Georgia defense in the fourth quarter, fresh legs,
Speaker 1: fresh five star running back legs for Alabama in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that is It's maddening. It's maddening. If
Speaker 1: you're a Georgia fantasy, you get contact early but it
Speaker 1: doesn't fully matter. And on the other side tie And
Speaker 1: I know this is something you noticed too, Is it
Speaker 1: looked like Sony Michelle was going to put this game away?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it very much did. He started running with
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of steam and then he didn't touch
Speaker 1: the ball and hopefully there's a good reason for that
Speaker 1: that he is hurt. We hope he is not hurt,
Speaker 1: but hopefully there is something behind that that we are
Speaker 1: not fully aware of at the time of this recording,
Speaker 1: because it really seemed like they were going to do
Speaker 1: the Alabama thing and just slowly push Bama away from
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage with the running game, but it
Speaker 1: just sort of disappeared.
Speaker 2: The combination of Tua with naj Harris and then eventually
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley, who wasn't involved much until late that's sort
Speaker 2: of what got Bama in the position to win. TOUA
Speaker 2: hits Calvin Ridley in the middle of the end zone
Speaker 2: about three minutes left to tie it at twenty all.
Speaker 1: Did you think he was trying to throw it to
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley or he just like, well, there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of white jerseys around there.
Speaker 2: It might have been a little bit of both.
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that he was like, this is where
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is going to pop out of a giant
Speaker 1: mass of huge humans.
Speaker 2: It was definitely not see receiver hit receiver. He just
Speaker 2: sort of threw it to a spot. Yes, nonetheless, he
Speaker 2: does hit Calvin Ridley. They omit the fall start at
Speaker 2: the bottom of the field, and they give Alabama a
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty tie ballgame. Alabama had another shot to
Speaker 2: win this game.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 2: What did you think of that kick?
Speaker 1: That kicker has been good for Alabama all season long,
Speaker 1: for the most part, he has been dependable, has had
Speaker 1: a good leg, and early on when he slipped when
Speaker 1: planting and missed that kick by a wide margin, it's like, ooh,
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be in his head a little bit.
Speaker 1: But Alabama kicks what the field goal near the I
Speaker 1: think sort of the middle of the third quarter. I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, confidence is probably back and he
Speaker 1: steps up and how long was the field goal? I
Speaker 1: member it was It was like thirty six. It was
Speaker 1: in the thirties. It was not particularly long, and they
Speaker 1: center it for him and to slip with his plant
Speaker 1: foot again and to send it wide. I believe it
Speaker 1: was wide left again. Yeah, that's you know, I neither
Speaker 1: one of us is. You know, we don't care who
Speaker 1: wins this game. We just want a good game. We
Speaker 1: want people to be healthy and fun and whatever, and
Speaker 1: for that to happen, it just aw is that brutal
Speaker 1: if Alabama loses because of that eventually, and it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to muster a ton of sympathy for Alabama and
Speaker 1: you know, heartbroken fans, but for that specific kicker, Papa whatever,
Speaker 1: Papa not soos or whatever that is, you can't have
Speaker 1: that that side.
Speaker 2: There's wide left, a woefully left, yes, and this was
Speaker 2: more of the woeful variety. Thankfully, it's not something that
Speaker 2: he'll have to live with the rest of his life
Speaker 2: because well we'll talk about overtime now. But in overtime,
Speaker 2: Georgia gets the ball first two runs four yards that
Speaker 2: Jake from takes a bad sack and that's when they
Speaker 2: turned the reins over to our boy, Rodrigo Blanketship in
Speaker 2: his stylish goggles. He has been automatic oh for most
Speaker 2: of the year, certainly this postseason. Hit a long field goal,
Speaker 2: I think a fifty one yarder in the Rose Bowl
Speaker 2: a week ago. Another fifty one yarder in overtime from
Speaker 2: the right hash to give Georgia a twenty three to
Speaker 2: twenty lead. Not to be out done, Dan Bama takes
Speaker 2: back over Tua takes a bad sack of his own
Speaker 2: all the way back at the forty one yard line.
Speaker 1: The freshman quarterback moments in overtime were spectacular.
Speaker 2: All the way back to forty one yard by Nick
Speaker 2: Saban's doing the arm thing. What the hell you doing? Yes,
Speaker 2: seems like it's going to be a major turning point
Speaker 2: in favor of the Georgia Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: They cut to Jalen Hurts on the sideline saying, hmmm, interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting taking a huge sack in overtime. Huh.
Speaker 2: On the very next play, he finds another freshman, Davonte Smith,
Speaker 2: on a forty one yard streak right down the left
Speaker 2: side to win it twenty six to twenty three. I
Speaker 2: thought the broadcast did a good job explaining what was
Speaker 2: going on, But in layman's terms, Georgia was in a
Speaker 2: cover too, which means that safety in the back was
Speaker 2: supposed to drift to that side of the field. He
Speaker 2: was supposed to cover Smith on the deep ball if
Speaker 2: he ran it, and he just got a little bit
Speaker 2: too far to the middle of the field, which gave
Speaker 2: Smith enough time to break the initial coverage on the
Speaker 2: left side, streak down the field to a hit him
Speaker 2: and stride for a touchdown. And there you have the
Speaker 2: rest his history. Twenty six, twenty three. An incredible way
Speaker 2: to close out the college football season. An absolute stomach
Speaker 2: punch if you're a Georgia fan, Like a level twenty
Speaker 2: seven stomach punch if you're a Georgia fan.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. First of all, the confidence to throw
Speaker 1: that ball, and this was again Alabama winning the game
Speaker 1: with a true freshman with a four verts. Look, you
Speaker 1: know a three by one trips on the right, you
Speaker 1: know a streaking Davante Smith on the left side. And
Speaker 1: here's word for word, here's the quote from Tua. They
Speaker 1: had split safeties, the safety on DeVante's side, the single
Speaker 1: receiver side. He tried to disguise his coverage. I tried
Speaker 1: to look him off, but he stayed in the middle.
Speaker 1: Then I went back outside. It was cover two on
Speaker 1: their side. They stayed on the inside. So I took
Speaker 1: a shot downfield and he caught it that sort of
Speaker 1: And if you watch the throw, it's not him dancing around.
Speaker 1: It's not him sort of buying himself time and chucking
Speaker 1: it deep. It is to a taking the ball, rocking back,
Speaker 1: looking to his right, trying to get a defense to
Speaker 1: shift the coverage to shift, coming back to his left
Speaker 1: as he's stepping in and throwing the ball from like
Speaker 1: the forty eight to the three on the coldest of
Speaker 1: frozen ropes to a streaking DeVante Smith. It was if
Speaker 1: you didn't like that play or Jake From's throw to
Speaker 1: McCole Hartman, I believe in early on in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: you just don't like football, This is the wrong sport
Speaker 1: for you, because those were it was the top level
Speaker 1: of beauty that we can get to offensively, especially in
Speaker 1: the passing game. And for to it to have that
Speaker 1: type of composure again coming in unexpectedly in the second
Speaker 1: half and going to overtime, taking a bad sack and
Speaker 1: just launching it deep. My god, yeah, my god, especially
Speaker 1: down three and needing to get into field goal range
Speaker 1: at the very least and throwing it deep like that,
Speaker 1: that's just it's stupid, ty, it's stupidity that Alabama has
Speaker 1: the ability to sort of go to what is it
Speaker 1: in hockey where you go to like the next group
Speaker 1: of the shift change whatever line change, the line change
Speaker 1: that Alabama just had a five star line change. And
Speaker 1: this also includes a left tackle, a true freshman left
Speaker 1: tackle in Alex Leatherwood. Leatherwood that sounds shore like his name,
Speaker 1: who came in for Jonah Williams who went down sort
Speaker 1: of in the middle of this game. So true freshman
Speaker 1: protected by true freshman, succeeding handing it off to a
Speaker 1: true freshman in the fourth quarter, and ultimately finding a
Speaker 1: true freshman streaking down the left side of the field
Speaker 1: to win the national championship, all unexpectedly going into the game.
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, it's if it happened to anybody else,
Speaker 1: who would be a little bit more magnificent. But even
Speaker 1: with it happening for Bama, you have to tip your
Speaker 1: hat to like the unlikely nature of all of those events.
Speaker 2: Really just an incredible way to close out the season.
Speaker 2: So congratulations to Alabama. We had the good fortune of
Speaker 2: meeting a bunch of Alabama fans down at our live
Speaker 2: show at All Points in Atlanta. A lot of fun
Speaker 2: to interact with them and see their excitement for this game.
Speaker 2: And Lord knows it's not going to go away anytime soon.
Speaker 2: A big one for Nick Saban. He wins his sixth
Speaker 2: national championship, which is obviously quite historic in its own right.
Speaker 2: But Satan was about as excited as I think I've
Speaker 2: seen him post any game. He actually seemed to have
Speaker 2: some genuine degree of happiness upon winning this football game.
Speaker 1: Yes, he absolutely did, and I think he actually said,
Speaker 1: this is the happiest I've ever been in my life. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: Like whoa say, just say football thing, Just say football thing.
Speaker 1: You're married with kids, be cool. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I can't hate on that that pure honesty and emotion
Speaker 1: in that moment because I can't imagine what it feels like.
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is what third national championship appearance
Speaker 1: in a row they've always been in the playoff, and
Speaker 1: second national championship in three years. So man, it's not
Speaker 1: that we should go over the top and saying who
Speaker 1: could have ever imagine Alabama winning another national championship, But
Speaker 1: the way that they did it was certainly new and novel.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you to everyone out there who played a
Speaker 2: lot with us this season. Yeah, your final score one
Speaker 2: more time, twenty six to twenty three in over time,
Speaker 2: your national champion is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Before we
Speaker 2: tell you about our plans now moving forward, as we
Speaker 2: forge your head into the off season, I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell you right now that after this podcast is over,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go lay down on my Casper. Oh goodness,
Speaker 2: a sleep brand that continues to revolutionize its line of
Speaker 2: products to create an exceptionally comfortable sleep experience, one that
Speaker 2: at a time I've got one. I've never needed it
Speaker 2: more than I do right now, because if you can't
Speaker 2: tell from my voice, I'm a little under the weather,
Speaker 2: and whenever I sleep in my Casper, it makes me
Speaker 2: feel a little bit better. People at the live show
Speaker 2: are asking, is that real, dude? Really have a Yes,
Speaker 2: we really have Casper as we really enjoy them. Casper
Speaker 2: has three mattress models. They have the Original, the Wave,
Speaker 2: and the Essential. Their mattresses are perfectly designed to soothe
Speaker 2: and cradle your natural geometry.
Speaker 1: Dan ooh love natural gyom.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the briefle design. It helps you sleep cool,
Speaker 2: it regulates your body temperature all throughout the night, and
Speaker 2: it's delivered to you right to your door in a
Speaker 2: small How did they do that size box free shipping

Speaker 2: We've talked about our personal experiences with the Casper time
Speaker 2: and time again. We'd recommend it to anybody. I have
Speaker 2: recommended it to all sorts of folks. The experience, right
Speaker 2: from the unboxing, through the setup through the sleep quality
Speaker 2: is a one. I think we're both of one mind
Speaker 2: when it comes to that. Yes, sir, we would encourage
Speaker 2: rebawlers out there to start sleeping ahead of the curve
Speaker 2: with our friends over at Casper. You can get fifty
Speaker 2: bucks towards select mattresses by visiting casper com slash verbal
Speaker 2: and then when it asks you for a code, just
Speaker 2: use verbal again at checkout. So Casper dot com slash
Speaker 2: verbal offer code verbal, you will get fifty bucks off
Speaker 2: your mattress purchase. Terms and conditions do apply, so here.
Speaker 1: Ready for a segue tie that I just I've been
Speaker 1: working on. I've been massaging real nicely, so please, I'm
Speaker 1: dying for read. Since Casper does such a good job
Speaker 1: bringing you from today to tomorrow, should we look forward
Speaker 1: at what Alabama and Georgia perhaps lose and gain. Not
Speaker 1: necessarily a game, we will talk recruiting when that sort
Speaker 1: of all finishes up in the beginning of February, but
Speaker 1: what these teams might look like in twenty eighteen, just
Speaker 1: in terms of who's playing quarterback? Who do they lose?
Speaker 1: Alabama loses a ton so no Robert Foster. We assume
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley will go to the NFL.
Speaker 2: I would think so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Upfront, they lose what looks like at least one or
Speaker 1: two offensive linemen, and I think they have defensively. Deron Payne,
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with his future. DeShawn hand as
Speaker 1: a senior, Rashaun Evans ridiculous linebacker, He's a senior Levi Wallace,
Speaker 1: Mika Fitzpatrick, Anthony Averette, Tony Brown. So they lose a
Speaker 1: lot of star power. We say this every year. It
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily affect how the season ends up, but this
Speaker 1: will be a very different looking Bama team. This is
Speaker 1: not a team led by you know, red shirt freshmen
Speaker 1: and sophomores that are getting all of this done. So
Speaker 1: there's a ton of upperclassmen, you know, Damien Harris and
Speaker 1: both Scarborough. I don't know how much more they have
Speaker 1: to prove as running backs at Alabama. I would expect
Speaker 1: them unless they, you know, are extremely happy and Tuscaloosa
Speaker 1: and want to keep playing for an excellent football team,
Speaker 1: I would expect them to at least figure out if
Speaker 1: they should be going to the NFL, especially at that position.
Speaker 1: And now that to a Tagabaloa is now Cardil Jones,
Speaker 1: what will Jalen Hurts do in a sort of very
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback transfer economy.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Bama's quarterback depth looks like behind
Speaker 1: those two. But if TUA is now in a position
Speaker 1: to grow from winning a national championship and become an
Speaker 1: even more accurate, confident passer, I don't know where that
Speaker 1: leaves the quarterback room in Tuscaloosa. I really don't. So
Speaker 1: that's what Alabama looks like, and Georgia loses a ton
Speaker 1: of talented seniors, I think they lose something like thirty
Speaker 1: seniors from this class. This was always going to be
Speaker 1: the year when you looked at the depth chart. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Terry Godwin's a junior. We'll see what happens with him.
Speaker 1: Jake from is obviously going to be around for a while,
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle and Nick Chubb are going to be gone,
Speaker 1: but they've recruited running back really well. Big John Atkins
Speaker 1: is a senior in the middle of that defense, Lorenzo
Speaker 1: Carter who obviously had a huge play in the Rose
Speaker 1: Bowl and played very well against Alabama last night. Davin Bellamy,
Speaker 1: we expect Roquan Smith as a junior to at least
Speaker 1: figure out what his value is. Perhaps the next level
Speaker 1: the secondary is filled with upperclassmen. So these two teams
Speaker 1: have recruited so well and have rotated and enough guys
Speaker 1: to build reps throughout the season, blowing teams out that
Speaker 1: I'm positive they're going to be very very good next year.
Speaker 1: But both will look exceedingly for differently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Daniel on that note again, twenty six to
Speaker 2: twenty three year final, Congratulations Tobama fans. Congratulation to Bama,
Speaker 2: and hey, congratulations to Georgia fans as well. That was
Speaker 2: a good game. Georgia very much deserved to be on
Speaker 2: the field with Bama. Great season, great season, Damn near
Speaker 2: won the game. Can't ask for a better way to
Speaker 2: close out the year. Obviously, I'm sure dog fans wish
Speaker 2: it went a little bit differently, but for the rest
Speaker 2: of us who didn't necessarily have a dog in the fight,
Speaker 2: so to speak, it was a good way to close
Speaker 2: it out, a fun Monday night to watch some college
Speaker 2: football one last time. In regards to the podcast, yes,
Speaker 2: we are going to take let's talk about us, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a little bit of time off now, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean we won't be putting shows out, but it does
Speaker 2: mean that we're going to alter the schedule a little bit,
Speaker 2: so you can look for one show a week from
Speaker 2: this point forward all through the off season. Once we
Speaker 2: get closer to the twenty eighteen season, we will resume
Speaker 2: our normal two weeks, but for a while now we're
Speaker 2: going to go once a week. We've got all sorts
Speaker 2: of fun stuff planned for the year ahead, starting of
Speaker 2: course with the live show we did in Atlanta, So
Speaker 2: if you weren't able to actually come on out to
Speaker 2: that show, you can listen to it next Wednesday, when
Speaker 2: we'll publish the audio. I went through it yesterday. After
Speaker 2: that point we'll keep everyone updated. We've obviously got recruiting,
Speaker 2: and then before you know it, it's spring football and
Speaker 2: some other creative projects that you and I are inevitably
Speaker 2: going to work on now over the course of the
Speaker 2: next couple months. But if you are a college football fan,
Speaker 2: and if you like the cut of our jib, please
Speaker 2: do keep it here, keep subscribing, keep downloading, and we'll
Speaker 2: do our best to get you through the long, cold
Speaker 2: doldrums that are college football. Is offseason.
Speaker 1: We should mention with the live show that is not
Speaker 1: with the Q and A correct that's only.
Speaker 2: A bonus to people who actually paid the money and
Speaker 2: were able to show up.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is only for the people that showed up,
Speaker 1: and I believe the aerial photos will justify it. The
Speaker 1: most attended, solid verbal live show we've ever done. It
Speaker 1: was our coronation. Now we had a fantastic time at
Speaker 1: the live show. And I will add because we are
Speaker 1: doing one show a week for the off season, and
Speaker 1: you did say two a week, and now I really
Speaker 1: want to do it to a tag of a low
Speaker 1: a week. Somehow talking to Hawaiian people who know him
Speaker 1: and just deep diving to up. But there will be
Speaker 1: bonus Q and as you know, sometimes there'll be a
Speaker 1: couple episodes a week. Sometimes it might be a video
Speaker 1: on our Facebook page that we'll have some fun with
Speaker 1: an experiment with some sort of new media kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So even though it's once a week, those will be long,
Speaker 1: action packed shows. We will do theme weeks the months,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Throughout the off season, we
Speaker 1: will talk to people far smarter than we are, which
Speaker 1: there's just so many of them, so we have so
Speaker 1: many of them to talk to over the course of
Speaker 1: the off season. But yeah, we will be doing a ton.
Speaker 1: We will be ramping up all sorts of various new avenues.
Speaker 1: So extremely excited for us to deep dive a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff to get weird in the off season. Some
Speaker 1: people prefer the off season to the season because that's
Speaker 1: when we can't be wrong about games, no predictions. We
Speaker 1: just can't be although I would argue that's our charm
Speaker 1: that we are always wrong, so that it's an exciting
Speaker 1: time for us personally because this is when we really
Speaker 1: like to stretch our deep diving and weird College football muscles.
Speaker 1: I bring it back to the muscle reference because that's
Speaker 1: just what I do. But please join us. Let's have
Speaker 1: some fun for these next few months, because there is
Speaker 1: still going to be a ton to talk about. We
Speaker 1: have recruiting at the beginning of February, with the end
Speaker 1: of the signing day period and various goings on. There's
Speaker 1: still probably you know, Arizona doesn't have a coach, so
Speaker 1: they're still going to be coaching movements that you know,
Speaker 1: are perhaps unexpected that we've seen throughout spring football. All
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff to do. So very excited for the
Speaker 1: months that lay ahead.
Speaker 2: Tie and last but not least, Yeah, there will be
Speaker 2: another live show later than the year.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's a new city that we're going to
Speaker 1: be doing it.
Speaker 2: It will be in a different city. We have not
Speaker 2: settled on which city, but we have a number of
Speaker 2: really strong options. And if you're interested in showing up
Speaker 2: to a live show, we've got people from Atlanta who
Speaker 2: basically swore a blood oath to fly to wherever our
Speaker 2: next show is. They enjoyed it so.
Speaker 1: Much, that's amazing. Yeah, So the flights into the Allentown Airport, right,
Speaker 1: what's that that you can fly. It's straight into Allentown.
Speaker 2: That's right. Next, we're going to do it at Terminal B.
Speaker 1: Which coincidentally is also terminals.
Speaker 2: It's also Terminal A. Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, thank you after that long winded description of
Speaker 2: where we're headed for bearing with us here all throughout
Speaker 2: the college football season. We will be back next week. Alabama,
Speaker 2: you're twenty seventeen eighteen college Football Playoff national champions. For
Speaker 2: that guy over there, Dan Rubinstein, for myself, Ty hilden
Speaker 2: Brand over here in Allentown. Thanks again for tuning in,
Speaker 2: and stay solid peace.
Speaker 1: All right, ty little bonus. If you're still listening, you're
Speaker 1: still listening to the show after it actually ended, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you the first half of Alabama and the
Speaker 1: second half of Georgia in my dramatic drive chart voice,
Speaker 1: missed field goal, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, touchdown, interception, punt, punt, punt, punt,
Speaker 1: field goal, and a game
