1
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Will it ever be enough? I mean, will it seriously? Now?

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: Will it ever be enough? A lot of you have

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: had intimated that I haven't gone as directly as some

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: of the people slash entities around our sport lately. So

5
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: we're going to sharpen the sword tonight a little bit.

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Laky is Live jam Packed. I toop a radiant downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Tuesday,

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: February thirteenth, the over our lower twenty twenty four. Yet

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday night. We're doing a show because we didn't

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: do one Sunday. We got out of the way voluntarily

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: for the company so that they could have the highest

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: rated Super Bowl of all time. And good for us,

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: by the way, for making that possible. College football playoff

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: expansion may be about to happen again. Yeah, we'll talk

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: about it in some shape form or fashion. I've got

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: sec win totals on the show tonight, several thoughts on this.

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: We finally you and I get to talk about Chip

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Kelly to Ohio State, and boy do I have some

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? And speaking of thoughts, why don't we

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: just rank every football program in the ACC? Tonight? You

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: talk about nasty business when you get into the bottom

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: half of the acc Do you know the difference between

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Boston College and Wake Forest? Do you guys know the

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: different You will after tonight, or at least we'll try to.

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Corbin Kentucky is tuned in Ventura, California, have Estavia Hills, Alabama,

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: or as they call it, the Ventura of North Central Alabama,

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: and New Orleans, Louisiana in the midst of Marty Graw

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: down there, some of you dutifully making sure you're still

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: watching the show, and hey, I don't normally plug the

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Academy ad Read. Make sure that you're watching tonight for

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the Academy Adread. Some are saying the most powerful Academy

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: ad Read of the modern era on tonight's show, and

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you know what you need to be following on the

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: socials as well, about to start having a lot of

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: fun on their Twitter Instagram, specifically at late kick job. Okay,

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: now that we've got that out of the way, let's

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: stack our papers for old time's sake. Let's pump our

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: papers and let's dive into the show. Hey, I'm serious

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: about the Academy I read. The Academy Adread is breaking

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: boundaries Tonight the folks at academy don't even know what's coming.

40
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I texted one of them a little while ago, but

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: that's about twenty minutes down the road. It seems that

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: something's gotten lost in translation around here lately. So I

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: have said recently, I've got a renewed sense of optimism.

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the sport of college football is about

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: to train headlong off the nearest cliff. But something somewhere

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: along the way got misconstrued because someone somewhere took me

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: as saying I fully trust these people. I don't. I

48
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: don't trust these people as me mal would say, any

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: further than I can throw them. And I got a

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: hurt shoulder right now, so it's not very far guys.

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: When I talk about optimism, I'm choosing to be optimistic,

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: and I think that things are so dire behind the

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: scenes that even some folks who otherwise would readily screw

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: this sport up, are gonna have no choice but to

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: get certain aspects of the sport in working order. And

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: that's a long winded way of saying I think things

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be okay. Big picture that brings us to today. Today,

58
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: I am perusing about the internet this morning, and our

59
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: buddy Ross Dellinger over there at Yahoo's Sports, he puts

60
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: out a report and I'm not gonna bore you with

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the details, not that it was a boring report, but

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: you can go read it if you want to. I'm

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: not gonna bore you with the particulars. There was a

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff happening today with a bunch of conference

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: commissioners and league officials, and they're trying to figure out

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: which way is up and north southeast west, what's the

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: financial situation going to look like, how are we going

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: to do the playoff? All that stuff, and nothing got

69
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: figured out today, So long and short of it is,

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: stay tuned on that. However, that doesn't mean nothing got shared.

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: And I hate to say I told you so because

72
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I end up saying it too much when it comes

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to matters of the college football playoff. But they're kind

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: of finally saying the quiet part out loud. They're saying

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: the part that some of us around here said was

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: coming all along out loud. They're not done expanding the

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: college football playoff. You may have thought to yourself, well,

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: at four right now, shouldn't we go to six? Shouldn't

79
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: we go to eight. Nope, nope, we're gonna skip over there.

80
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to twelve. Twelve seems like a lot

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: of teams, but okay, well, at least we finally gotten

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the twelve. You hadn't finally gotten anywhere. You're just at

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: a rest stop right now. These people are not stopping

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: at twelve. I told you they're not stopping at twelve.

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: But don't take my word for it. I'm just some

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: guy in Nashville behind the microphone. Let's go to the

87
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: report Ross Dellinger with real human beings making decisions about

88
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: the future of this sport on the record. Quote. While

89
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: serious discussions about expanding the twelve team playoff format have

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: not arisen inside the college football playoff meetings, many believe

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: it eventually will. Tony Petiti, that's the new Big Ten

92
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Commissioner Tony Petiti has privately discussed with commissioners expansion models

93
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: that include fourteen and sixteen teams with multiple automatic qualifiers

94
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: to major conferences. Sources told Yahoo Sports we continue. Mike Aresco,

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: who's the president and commissioner of the AAC who is

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: set to retire this summer, says that a move to

97
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: a sixteen team playoff could very well be in the future,

98
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: and that such a tournament would probably be under a

99
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: five plus eleven format with five auto bids to league

100
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: champs and eleven at large spots. Quote. The truth is,

101
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: if you went to sixteen, you're not going to fundamentally

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: change the playoffs. He said. It's about growth, isn't it.

103
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: It's all about growth. Every time I push back on this,

104
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: I get told, Josh, how could you say no to

105
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: more money? There's more money being pumped in, and that's

106
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: apparently the only metric we need to go by these days.

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: You don't need to look at passion. You don't need

108
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: to look at the vibrance of the game. You don't

109
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: need to look at how valuable a Saturday in early

110
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: November is. Nope, Nope, nope, that's such antiquated casual thinking. No,

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: the big brains have walked in the room and they're

112
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: here to tell you that growth in college football and

113
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: college athletics boils down to one metric and one metric only,

114
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: And that's the bottom line on that P and L sheet.

115
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: And if you're making more money, then that means your

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: sport is growing. You might say to yourself. Oh too little,

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: too late. JP should have said this a little while ago, Carlin,

118
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: cue it up. We did. Let's go to July of

119
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. The more I hear people tell me

120
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: about how much money these changes in college football are

121
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: going to make, the more I want to walk out

122
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: this door and jump out the window. I don't care.

123
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you I don't care about how

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: much more money these media rights deals are going to

125
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: bring conferences. I don't care. And my humble opinion is

126
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: you should not care. Not only are you not going

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: to see a dime of that money, not only are

128
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: your ticket prices and parking and concessions and everything's still

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: going to go up magically no matter how many hundreds

130
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: of millions more dollars than the coffers. Not only will

131
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: these moves choke off a large portion of the underbelly

132
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: of the sport. And I don't mean that pejoratively. Not

133
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: only is all that true, but also think about this.

134
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Could I suggest to you that growth and financial increase

135
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: are not necessarily hid at the hip. Here you can

136
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: add money and not necessarily be growing the sport. We

137
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: should probably loop the last part column because that would

138
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: be breaking news to a majority of the folks gathered

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: in that room this week. You can grow financially and

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: not grow your sport. Your sport could become less healthy

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: as you become more profitable. Can you believe that? What

142
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: kind of crazy talk is that? Well, hey, let me

143
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: hit you with a real world example. This show. Thanks

144
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: to the fact that I got the best staff in

145
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: America and maybe even the world, this show is the

146
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: most consumed college football show in all of digital media today. Again,

147
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: a very blessed position. Let's say someone approached me tomorrow

148
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: morning on the streets of downtown Nashville and said, Josh,

149
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I will give you one hundred million dollars per year,

150
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: distributed amongst your staff however you want to. There's just

151
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: one caveat. You have to talk exclusively about Canadian football

152
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: from here on out. It's nothing but CFL wall to wall.

153
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: And I take the money, and I come on air

154
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Thursday and I say, great news, guys, we're making nine figs.

155
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: We're in the nine figure club. Now. Now the show

156
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: is going to be about the CFL. But we're growing.

157
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: The show is growing. Never mind the fact that I'm

158
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: never gonna discuss again, what brought you to the table.

159
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna give you anything you come here

160
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: seeking anymore. But don't worry, because I'm making money that

161
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: you'll never get a die. Therefore, the show's growing, right.

162
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: You would look and you would say delite unsub and

163
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: you'd be gone, as you should. If I'm talking Gray Cup,

164
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: if I'm talking Winnipeg Blue Bombers, you might as well

165
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: not tune in. It's not what you came here for.

166
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: And so I've got a group of people right now

167
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: who are in charge of a sport that they may

168
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: or may not love, and if they do love it,

169
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: they may be loving it to death, quite literally. And

170
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: they're saying, hey, twelve playoff spots. Sixteen playoff spots. Who

171
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: cares what we do to the regular season, you know,

172
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: because we don't make as much money off of that

173
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: as we do an eight versus a nine in the

174
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: middle of January. This is why a lot of us

175
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: who were anti playoff expansion were so adamant in the beginning.

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: It's the nature of a slippery slope. I was listening

177
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: to James Franklin talk about it earlier today. The thing

178
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: about a slippery slope is you don't test it out.

179
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: You don't get to take a few steps down and

180
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: say I don't like this, all right, pull me back.

181
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: There is no rope around the world of our sport

182
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: right now, and it's already on the slope. You know,

183
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: you went there and you allow these people to have

184
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: the hands on the wheel, and so they've gotten down

185
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: the slope and they love it. By the way. They

186
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: don't care what's at the bottom. They're not gonna suffer anyway. Frankly,

187
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: a lot of these folks could just go work in

188
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: the front office of another major sport. They go ruin

189
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: that one too. So I may sign a little juvenile

190
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: right now, may sign a little too idealistic. It's just

191
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: that I happen to love college football, and I don't

192
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: necessarily mind if we leave a little money on the

193
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: table for the greater good of the game. I grew

194
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: up in the South. One of the things the South

195
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: gets wrong that some of the places in the Big

196
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: ten gets right is there is signage in every stadium

197
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: in the South, and by signage, I mean every available

198
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: spot in major stadiums in the South. There is gonna

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: be advertising. There are a few exceptions, but by and large,

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: that's the rule in the South. I go to Notre

201
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: Dame hardly any. I go to Michigan hardly any. Those

202
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: folks have decided a long time ago that, for the

203
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: betterment of a pristine in stadium aesthetic, we are going

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: to leave advertising dollars on the table. Why not because

205
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: we hate money, but because there's a certain line in

206
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: the sand here, and once we cross it, we devalue

207
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: ourselves even as our bank account gets bigger. I really

208
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: wish that attitude existed in the greater realm of college athletics,

209
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: but it is sorely lacking right now. What can I do?

210
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm going to talk about it.

211
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Let's move on. It is right now, February thirteenth. But

212
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: if your friends like we are with fan Duel, you've

213
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: already got all the wind totals this year, and therefore

214
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: it's time to talk about these now. By the way,

215
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: got a loaded show tonight. I got Chip Kelly stuff,

216
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: I've got I've got I kid you not. We are

217
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: ranking every program in the ACC. I got a a

218
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: very very dangerous, very treacherous fall wedding conundrum to discuss

219
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: on the back end. Of the show. So we're jamm

220
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: packed tonight. We got a little something for everyone. Colin,

221
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: here's your endpoint for this SEC. Win totals are out

222
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: at FanDuel and that means we just dive right in

223
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: strength of conference. Man, look at this thing. There's no

224
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: team above ten and a half. And you may think

225
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you're strong. If you were a strong conference,

226
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't you have some teams in the eleven or twelve category.

227
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm not finished, don't interrupt me me. Yes, there are

228
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: no teams with a win total above ten and a half,

229
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: but there are half a dozen of them at ten

230
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: and a half or nine and a half. And for

231
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: those of you unfamiliar, this is literally the easiest thing

232
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: to understand. Em Betting the number on your screen right now,

233
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: or if you're listening on podcasts, the number. I tell

234
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: you you can do one of two things. You can

235
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: either bet over or under. And if they win more

236
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: and you bet over, you win. And if they go

237
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: under the number and you bet over. You know, I

238
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: made that a lot more difficult than it should be.

239
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: You just bet how many games these teams are gonna win.

240
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. Georgia's ten and a half. Texas

241
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: is ten and a half. Those are the two big

242
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: dogs in the totals market, at least in the preseason

243
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: for the SEC. You got five teams in the conference

244
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: at five and a half wins or worse. Okay, so

245
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: it's not surprising Georgia would be up there. But remember now, Georgia,

246
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: you've been used to seeing them with an eleven or

247
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: eleven and a half schedule, is much tougher this year.

248
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: And that's going to be the case virtually across the

249
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: board in the SEC and in many cases the Big

250
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: ten as well. But look at the overall landscape here. Okay,

251
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: so you got Texas at ten and a half to

252
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: give you an idea of the Texas ou dynamic. Those

253
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: are the two newcomers. Texas at ten and a half.

254
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: That is a massively high number for anybody in the

255
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: SEC at any point, but especially the new look SEC.

256
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: And when you're the newcomer, that's a big deals. That's

257
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: definitely a testament to the program they've built there. Oklahoma's

258
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: at seven and a half and it's juice to the under,

259
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: so they probably been taking action on the under there.

260
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that has to do with

261
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line situation. But you've got Jackson Arnold there.

262
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of positive energy around the program.

263
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: It's just it's hard to win a bunch of games

264
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: in the SEC, in the eight and a half barrel,

265
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: there are several teams down here Tennessee. You know, for example,

266
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: over under eight and a half, there's a path to

267
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: nine to three. Here, they avoid four of the six

268
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: SEC teams with higher win totals than them. They got Chattanooga,

269
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: but they play NC State. NC State is one of

270
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: the best teams in the country. At least they're gonna

271
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: be up there in the odds market. So n C State.

272
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: They play in Charlotte in week two after the n

273
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: State rivalry against the Motts of Chattanooga. Texas A and

274
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: M's here. Texas A and M still got a top

275
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: ten talent roster. They are eighteenth in Bill Connolly's returning

276
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: production metrics. They got Notre Dame, they got Texas, they

277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: got LSU, they got Missouri win one of those. Rest

278
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: of the schedules doable if you're trying to paint the

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: path to over eight and a half wins, And that's

280
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: just the early look at it. Obviously, we got several

281
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: months to break that down and finder detail. The nine

282
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: and a half barrel, though, is what I wanted to

283
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: talk about. All the teams I'm about to mention are

284
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: over under nine and a half wins, and Buddy, it's

285
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: some of the usual suspects and it's some newcomers to

286
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: the dance. Alabama's at nine and a half wins, So

287
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: you may think to yourself, oh, that's low. Yeah, it

288
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: is low. Relatively speaking, it's low for BAM. It's their

289
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: lowest preseason win total since two thousand and seven. They

290
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: got Georgia. You know, Bama plays Wisconsin on the road

291
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: this upcoming year. They got that, They go to LSU,

292
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: they get to Oklahoma the week before the Iron Bowl,

293
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: they go to Tennessee. They got Missouri. Obviously, an entirely

294
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: new coaching staff here. It's a new era. We're going

295
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: to talk about a little bit of that later in

296
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: the show. What you think nine and a half? Honestly,

297
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I would if you made me bet one way or

298
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: the other, may lean under at the moment. It's just

299
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: hard to do, man. There's a lot of transition there.

300
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to do what's realistic, what's realistic to expect

301
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: with Alabama? That word doesn't exist right now. I'm going

302
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: to talk about that more later in the show. Ole

303
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Miss path is there now over under nine and a

304
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: half wins. They only play two of the top eight

305
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: teams in the conference. When it comes to the preseason

306
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: win totals market non conference Furman, Middle Tennessee at Wake

307
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Georgia Southern, they should be four and oh in those games.

308
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: They should open conference play four and oh, and they'll

309
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: be favored against Kentucky and South Carolina. They'll be favored

310
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: to be six and oh when they go to LSU

311
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: October twelfth, unless something drastic changes. But then, as is

312
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: usually the case with Old Miss, it really turns the

313
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: volume up in a hurry. LSU Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida,

314
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. So it gets a little tougher on the

315
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: back end, but again by SEC standards, Ole Miss has

316
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: about as manageable as Slate this year, especially when you

317
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: consider the roster they put together as anyone. Missouri all right,

318
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk around the water cooler that

319
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Missouri was a flash in the pan, not our water cooler,

320
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: per se but there's several water coolers out there. We

321
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: got to stay hydrated. And yet Vegas says, well, if

322
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: you believe that, here's some free money over under nine

323
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: and a half, they are one of five teams with

324
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: a win total at nine and a half or higher. Man,

325
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: I look at the defensive talent they lost, not on

326
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: the field, the coaching staff, and I know that a

327
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of attention is paid to who walks out the

328
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: door Blake Baker and Kevin Peeples, and you don't pay

329
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: so much attention to who walks in the door. Eli

330
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Drinkwitz has been able to hire. We talked all August

331
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: about how one of the key underrated aspects of that

332
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: team was they had a top twenty five coaching staff

333
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: last year going into the season. And you know, I

334
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: can't prove that's the difference in close games, but you'd

335
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: certainly be hard pressed to convince me it wasn't. They

336
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: They opened with Murray State, they got Buffalo, they got

337
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Boston College, and then they go to Vanderbilt. Well, they

338
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: got Vanderbilt coming in. They go to UMass as well.

339
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: They are another team that should absolutely be four and zero,

340
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: and they're non conference schedule and so what are you

341
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: looking at. You're looking at what you can do in

342
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: conference play. That's gonna be one of the most fun

343
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: teams in the country to watch. LSU total wildcard team.

344
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: They got a tough non conference schedule, unlike some of

345
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: these other folks. LSU is opening in Vegas, I believe

346
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night against USC that's their opener. Then

347
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: they have Nickels in week two before they open conference play.

348
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: They also have UCLA come to town in South Alabama.

349
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Two teams that all of a sudden were in need

350
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: of new head coaches. By the way, I could see

351
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: eleven and two here, you could sell me on the

352
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: fact that the defensive staff is not able to get

353
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: much out of that talent roster year one and maybe

354
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: they're seven and five. It's a high ceiling, low floor

355
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: team year three under Brian Kelly. So that's again, it's February.

356
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: It's February. Everyone's settled down, so we can afford to

357
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: be kind of wish you wash you on what we

358
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: expect right now. Oh Florida, Oh, oh, Florida numbers too high.

359
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: The over under win total for Florida's five and a half.

360
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: It's too high. This may be the toughest schedule I've

361
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: ever seen in college football. I want you to wrap

362
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: your mind around what I'm about to tell you. Florida

363
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: plays eight teams this season with a preseason win total

364
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: of eight and a half or higher. I've never seen

365
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: that before. I do not remember ever seeing that before,

366
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: and that five and a half is going to be

367
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: extremely tough to get. There's a world when you consider

368
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: who all they play. There is a world where Florida

369
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: is the twentieth best team in the country this year,

370
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: and you may think to yourself, Man, no one, who's

371
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: the twentieth best team in the country. Whatever, fire their

372
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: head coach right, let me finish again. There is a

373
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: world where they're the twentieth best team in the country

374
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: and they go like six and six like. There's a

375
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: world where, if they are just full truth is known,

376
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: they're the twentieth best team in the country, they would

377
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: be expected to be a five hundred team with this schedule.

378
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: You aren't always what your record says you are. Sometimes

379
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: you are, sometimes you aren't. So prayers up for the

380
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Gators Vanderbilt. You know we are a team. We are

381
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: a show that really loves to support the overs market

382
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to Vandy and it's two and a half,

383
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: and I want you to listen to me, And I

384
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: really want you, guys about five or six blocks away

385
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: to listen to me. That's where the campus is. They

386
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: play Alcorn State, Georgia State, Ball State. If we win

387
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: those games, we hit the over. That's all we have

388
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: to do, right Jesse, isn't it two and a half?

389
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: That's all we have to do? Oh, it sounds so easy.

390
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: We could go winless in conference. Guys, all we have

391
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: to do Alcorn, Georgia State, Ball State three and zero.

392
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: We're good. Now, that's not the message I would be

393
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: preaching internally over there. But we're good. And yet still

394
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a treacherous, treacherous task. So that's the sec win

395
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: totals market. Right now. Be careful because you don't have

396
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: to dive in fully if you're going to do it, FanDuel,

397
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't have to dive in fully right now without

398
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: further ado. I know that this is a part of

399
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: the show. Some of you sometimes mentally tune out a

400
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit for you shouldn't. You shouldn't because this is

401
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the part of the show that makes the show free. However,

402
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: even if you are one of those who hit the

403
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: fast forward buttoner you tune out. Oh, don't do that tonight,

404
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: don't do that tonight. Little backstory. We got a buddy,

405
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: his name's Garrett. He hails from College Station, Texas, and

406
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: he just had his wisdom teeth removed. And I don't

407
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: know what kind of medication, what kind of drugs slash

408
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: possible narcotics they're putting folks on out there in College

409
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: Station when they get their wisdom teeth taken out, but

410
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: it probably is not street legal. And the reason I

411
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: know that is because when Garrett started to come to,

412
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: he was missing fourteenth and he had a mouthful of gauze,

413
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: and the first thing on his mind was not what's

414
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: my rehab schedule, what's the first solid food I'm gonna

415
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: be able to eat? The first thing on this man's mind,

416
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: being the paid State Hall of Famer that I now

417
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: know him to be, was academy sports and outdoors. But

418
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: that's not the good news. The good news is there

419
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: was a servant in the driver's seat there to capture

420
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: it all. Roley Colin.

421
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: A good per loft fouls. I feel permisee. Wait raft pay.

422
00:22:50,400 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 2: We put the offer poula perfe talthy look per.

423
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: Far for fil oh.

424
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: Your podcast is sponsored Academy for War for free palass Oh,

425
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: so you can get a palace of suprema, palace callous talent.

426
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Okay, chalice jealous of supremacy if you're going to Academy.

427
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: I've never met him. I love him so much. If

428
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: I could take Bradley's teeth out, I would donate them

429
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: right now. In fact, what I am gonna do is

430
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to drink the rest of the contents from

431
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: this chalice of supremacy on the table, and then I'm

432
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: gonna have Bradley watch it out, which he has to

433
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: do every night part of his chores anyway. And we

434
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: are shipping that bad boy to College Station, Texas because

435
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: that is how you represent the Pate State brand in

436
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: a first class manner. And he was heavily medicated. And

437
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: my guy Garrett's doing more medicated, frankly than some people

438
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: around here are doing fully coherent. So full golf clap

439
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: to Garrett, thank you so much. Academy Sports and Outdoors,

440
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: as he well knows, makes it possible for you to

441
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: check virtually everything off your shopping list in one fell

442
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: swoop and grab some great big league chew on the

443
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: way out. And it's about to be spring. Man, It's

444
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: going to be sixty three and sunny in Nashville tomorrow,

445
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of things inside those walls

446
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: at Academy or Academy dot Com that would make tomorrow

447
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: even a lot more fun than it already will be.

448
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: So Garrett, we appreciate you, my friend. He was down bad,

449
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: and he made the most of a terrible situation, and

450
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: what otherwise would be viewed as a cold blooded move

451
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: recording him ends up being one of the best decisions

452
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: ever made because it lands him a chalice of supremacy,

453
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: and we don't give many of those away in February.

454
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: So congrats, Garrett. All right, let's move on. We have

455
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: not spoken about this yet, but I figure it's time

456
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: to do it now. I have some fairly strong takes

457
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: on this, actually, and while I'm at at, let me

458
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: take a sip from one of our chall live supremacy Chawli,

459
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: of course, for those new to the show, is merely

460
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: the plural form of chalice, and some less astute minded

461
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: out there would say no, no, no, no, it's Chalice's no, no,

462
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: it's not. Chip Kelly is now the offensive coordinator at

463
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State. You know how we kept doing those segments

464
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: where I kept saying, I don't think chip Kelly is

465
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: going to be the coach at UCLA next year, and

466
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: some of you kept dming me saying, but there's nowhere

467
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: else for him to go. Oh, there's always somewhere for

468
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: you to go. So this is where he went looking

469
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: at some NFL offensive coordinator jobs. Those didn't pan out,

470
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and now he's the offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Why.

471
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: Of course, Bill O'Brien took the head coaching job at

472
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Boston College about fifteen minutes after he took the Ohio

473
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: State job. So anyway, say all that to say this,

474
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: A lot of folks were shocked by this, and my

475
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: question is why were you shocked by it? It's not

476
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: that shocking. Although it is jarring, it's not that shocking.

477
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Day played quarterback for Chip Kelly all the way

478
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: back in the New Hampshire days, back in his FCS days.

479
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: So you know that we have every coach in America

480
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: graded in our internal system. I cannot stress enough how

481
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: much this is an upgrade for Ohio State over what

482
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: they were going to have with Bill O'Brien. I know

483
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of folks out there were wishy washy on this, saying,

484
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: oh O'Brien, man, you got a former NFL head coach

485
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: as your offensive coordinator. Can't be that bad, right, It

486
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: is gonna be bad. It was going to be bad. Oh, well,

487
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: he was good enough for Nick Saban. I don't care.

488
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: He wasn't good at Alabama. Bryce Young was his savior

489
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: at Alabama. He wasn't going to be good at Ohio

490
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: State went from having maybe the ninth or tenth best

491
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in the Big Ten this year to having

492
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: one of the nine or ten best in the country.

493
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: It is a massive upgrade at the offensive coordinated position

494
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: for Ohio State. Make no mistake about that. This isn't

495
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: a coin flip either or half a dozen here six

496
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: the other way. Massive upgrade just fell in Ohio State's lap.

497
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: So I don't even care if people internally up there

498
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: don't agree with me. Huge upgrade with Chip Kelly. So

499
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: as for the way it played out at UCLA, both

500
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: sides soured on each other. I don't think it was

501
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: portrayed accurately. Nationally. The feel nationally was Chip Kelly's just

502
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: looking to get out of there by any means necessary.

503
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: In the end, he was. I don't think that was

504
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: always the way it was. I think there were several

505
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: dynamics internally where he wasn't necessarily in love with some things,

506
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: and therefore they weren't in love with him because of

507
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: those things, and it became untenable and at that point

508
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: he wants out. And I think that's the way it went,

509
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: and however it went, it ended up the way it

510
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: ended up. But you know, ironically, I'm not even as

511
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: infatuated with the move or fascinated with the move as

512
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: I am the reaction to it. I think it's a

513
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: great move. It's a phenomenal move for Ryan Day and

514
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State. But man, I listened to a lot of

515
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: an abnormal amount of people. Actually, I normally like to

516
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: insulate myself from a lot of other takes on this

517
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: stuff before I talk about it, because I don't want

518
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: to be influenced by it. I can assure you a

519
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: lot of the takes out there didn't influence me because

520
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I feel the way a bunch of

521
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: other folks do. I saw. I saw some people kind

522
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: of making fun of the way this played out, and

523
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: they're saying, well, he's taking a big pay cut. Well, yeah,

524
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: he is big pay cut. Well, isn't it a demotion?

525
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Isn't it a backwards move up? Theoretically it is, But

526
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: how does he feel? Chip Kelly set financially nine ways

527
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: from Sunday. He's gonna be okay. I can promise you

528
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: doesn't need the car pool with anyone, will not need

529
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: to borrow one of the coaches dining hall cards. He's

530
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. There he gets to coach, which apparently

531
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: is all he wanted to do. How dare they? How

532
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: dare they just want to coach? You know what? I

533
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: say that sarcastically, but it is the role of a

534
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: head coach this day and age, in this sport. In

535
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: exchange for what you make, you got to do a

536
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: lot of crap on your plate, and if you don't

537
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: want to deal with it, that's okay. There are roles

538
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: for you. They're called coordinator and position roles. And that's

539
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: not to say you don't have a metric ton of

540
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: crap on your plate when you do that as well,

541
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: But at least they don't unload it by the truckload

542
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: like they do when you're a head coach. So he's

543
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: extremely valuable as an asset to Ohio State. Here he

544
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: gets to coach. He's set financially, he's not gonna be

545
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: hurting because he takes a pay cut. But he hasn't

546
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: had talent like he's about to have since he was

547
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles head coach. And the difference is he's

548
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: not facing equal competition across the ball every week like

549
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: he was in Philadelphia. This is like a dream scenario

550
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: for him. I don't know how long it lasts, maybe

551
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: one year or maybe four years. But however long it

552
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: does last, I think it's going to be a real

553
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: fun reset button, Kelly. I want to talk to the

554
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: folks laughing at the entire situation and laughing at the optics.

555
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: Like I heard a lot of folks laughing at Chip.

556
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Kelly said, Oh, look at him. He tried to go here,

557
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: He tried to go there, and he was almost out

558
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: of options and he got lucky. Translation, he must not

559
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: be as good as he thinks he is. Hey, I

560
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: couldn't care less. I mean, this is the way I

561
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: look at I couldn't care less what anyone on the

562
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: internet thinks about it, And I don't even care what

563
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: other people in football think about it. And I'm going

564
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: to tell you why, cause number one, it only takes

565
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: one right program to believe in you for you to

566
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: be in your sweet spot. And number two, you guys

567
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: ever heard of Steve Sarkisian Steve Sarkisian twenty sixteen or

568
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: seventeen post USC who is given that? Dude A look,

569
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: how many options did sarcap None? He had to go

570
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: be an off field analyst for Nick Saban at Alabama.

571
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: Nick saban at Alabama being the keyword there. Next thing

572
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's an offensive coordinator in the NFL and

573
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out there once he do then goes

574
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: back to Alabama again. One of the only options he

575
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: had on the table, and all Sark did was rewrite

576
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: the college football record books a year after we saw

577
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and LSU do it. Sark says, all right,

578
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: and then copy paste in twenty twenty for Alabama. And

579
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: my point there is when they were hanging half a

580
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: hundred on everyone in twenty twenty, nobody seemed to be

581
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: looking around saying, yeah, but Sart barely had any opportunities.

582
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. One of the best in the game

583
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: saw him and said, hold up, no one else is

584
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: going to hire this guy. I'll take him. Ryan Day

585
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: looks around and says, Chip Kelly. Hold on, you guys

586
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: don't want Chip Kelly. I'll take him. Which is the way, Colin.

587
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: You see this brand right here, this brand Peyton State.

588
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: That's how i'd run my university in my program. Y'all

589
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: don't want who Chip Kelly? You sure it's the same guy.

590
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly is out there available, not to be my

591
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: head coach, to be my coordinator, and you guys are

592
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: laughing at him. I'm laughing at you. So Ohio State,

593
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: I think we'll do a lot of laughing in the

594
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: fall after they hired the guy that you had fun

595
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: laughing at. In the winter, they'll kill it. He'll kill

596
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: it at Ohio State. So it's the most coaching moves

597
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: in the marketing. Like twelve years, we had a ton

598
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: of movement. It looks fingers crossed, it looks like it's

599
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: subsided now. But one of the bombshells, it turns out,

600
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: does not even happen until February. Chip Kelly is the

601
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator at Ohio State. I'm just looking off into

602
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: the distance for a second, trying to ponder what this

603
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: is like. Hooms knows. Maybe we'll stop by Columbus later

604
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: this spring and see him. We had a colin actually

605
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: throw this tweet up about Notre Dame. I did want

606
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: to address this going so many different directions on the

607
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: show tonight. And by the way, I appreciate you guys

608
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: got a nice sizeable audience for February on a night

609
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: we normally don't do a show. Make sure you're subscribed

610
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: to the channel and subscribe to the podcast if you

611
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: haven't already. January twenty six, I asked you what will

612
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: the biggest story in twenty twenty four in college football be?

613
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: And one of you came at me and said, Notre

614
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Dame is gonna win the national title this year. That

615
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: would be noteworthy because their last title was nineteen eighty eight.

616
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: That would make Marcus Freeman an instant legend. I don't

617
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: know how old you have to be to have your

618
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: own statue in South Bend, but we would test the limits.

619
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that if Marcus Freeman, a Notre Dame

620
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: won a national title. But I hear you. You don't

621
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: have to yell at your phone or your TV or

622
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: whatever device you're watching the show on. I hear you, guys,

623
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: you're all yelling the same thing. They're not gonna win

624
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: the national title. Well, let's just ask ourselves how possible

625
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: it is. They have three top ten classes out of

626
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: the last four cycles, so they have the kind of

627
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 1: talent on campus that it takes to at least make

628
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: a run. They picked up Riley Leonard in the quarterback

629
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: market from Duke, so they got veteran talent and presence

630
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: at the quarterback spot. They got a new offensive staff.

631
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Last year it held them back. They went and said, LS,

632
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: you look pretty good. Let's take their coordinator Mike Denbrock

633
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: boom South Bend. I don't know how much he'll revitalize

634
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: things overnight, but they're making a lot of the necessary moves.

635
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: Now here's where I draw the line. I would not

636
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: be necessarily betting Notre Dame to win the national title

637
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: this year. They'll be in the hunt. Okay, And this

638
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: is where I think a lot of people that as

639
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: we approach the twelve team playoff era, a lot of

640
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: people are gonna have a problem with this. You're gonna

641
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: think to yourself, well, you know, make the playoff, win

642
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: the title. Oh, it's almost the same thing. It's not, guys.

643
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: Eleven teams are going to make the playoff and not

644
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: win the title. And that's without the casuals having their

645
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: way and taking us to like sixteen teams. Notre Dame,

646
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: there are two schools that thought out there you could say, well,

647
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: with a twelve team playoff, they'll have a better shot. No,

648
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: they won't. They won't have a better shot of winning

649
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: a title. They'll have a worse shot at winning a title.

650
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: They'll have a better shot at making the playoff. I

651
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: don't doubt Notre Dame is gonna be a prime playoff

652
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: contender every year. I don't doubt that whatsoever. Got a

653
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: strong top ten to twelve talent roster, got really good coaching,

654
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: just upgraded at the offensive coordinator positions. Sure, got Riley

655
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: Leonard at quarterback. Absolutely, they'll be a playoff contender. But

656
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: that's not what the guy said. The guy told me

657
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the national championship. You know what that means.

658
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: That means you got to line up across from Georgia

659
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: or Texas or Alabama or Oregon, maybe two of them,

660
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: possibly three of them. It's impossible for Notre Dame to

661
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: get a first round by by the way in the

662
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: current college football playoffs set up, because they're not in

663
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: a conference, so they can't win a conference, so they

664
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: can't have a first round by Can you beat two

665
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: or three of those teams in the past, you hadn't

666
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: been able to beat one. Can you beat two or

667
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: three of those teams? That's really hard to do. I

668
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: don't care who you are. It's hard for Georgia to do.

669
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: It'll be hard for Texas to do. They're gonna have

670
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: better roster than you as it sits right now, they'll

671
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: have an edge. And what we've seen is we've seen

672
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: teams able to get there. We saw TCU get to

673
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: the title game. They got splattered once they got there.

674
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: We saw Washington get to the title game, got physically

675
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: handled pretty good once they got there. Well, now you'll

676
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: get there and instead of maybe one or two things

677
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: going your way and you win it, you got to

678
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: have three or four things go your way and you

679
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: win it. I mean, you play on this schedule, one

680
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: team with better preseason title odds than you. And I'm

681
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna say that again if you tuned out. Notre Dames

682
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: got a schedule this year that's gonna put them in

683
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: the playoff. I mean, I highly suspect Notre Dame to

684
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: be a playoff team this year. They play one team,

685
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: one team that has better preseason odds than them, and

686
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: that's Florida State, and they get them at home on

687
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: November ninth. They got to buy before that. That's no guarantee,

688
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: but it sets up pretty darn well form. Once you

689
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: get there, you got to play everybody capable of beating you.

690
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: Everyone had good odds at that point, so we'll see.

691
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: It'd be a huge story. I don't disagree with that.

692
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: It would be a huge story, as is the case

693
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: that they're watching us in Clovis, New Mexico tonight and Joplin,

694
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Missouri and Kanyer's Georgia. We appreciate that so much. It

695
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: is now time for us to take it upon ourselves

696
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: to do the impossible. And I got it. Two things actually,

697
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: And as we establish last show, there's nothing wrong with

698
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: putting lip bomb on during the show. It's the shape

699
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: the lips take while you put the lip bomb on

700
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: that could be a problem. So I've chosen directify that

701
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: by just covering my mouth with my hand so that

702
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: if I do make butthole lips, you can't tell. And

703
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: if you don't get the context, don't worry about it.

704
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: What are the best football programs in the ACC? And

705
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: do we really want to get past about number five,

706
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: six or seven? Yes, we do. It's going to be gross.

707
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to wash ourselves off off with the

708
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: host pipe afterwards. But you know what, someone's got to

709
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: do this, and we're going to do it. Florida State

710
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: University is the best program in the ACC right now.

711
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: And here's what I'm taking into account. I care about

712
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: the last three years of on field production, talent acquisition,

713
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: I care about your stability. These are the things I

714
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: care about, along with your resource pool. That's the difference

715
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: in a team in a program. So I got Florida

716
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: State number one. They are twenty three to four. Past

717
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: couple of seasons, back to back double digit win seasons.

718
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: They're the only team in the ACC that can say

719
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: that they got three top twenty classes in the last

720
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: three years. They are number one in the ACC in

721
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: portal classes. The last three years and Mike Norvel just

722
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: got himself locked in long term. They have a max

723
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: stability rating. Florida State for the first time in a

724
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: long time, ascends to the top of the ACC program

725
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: power rankings Notre Dame or not Notre Name. Because they

726
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: choose not to join the conference. Florida State's now the

727
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: number one program in the ACA. It's been Clemson forever.

728
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: Got Clemson at number two right now, not a long

729
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: way away, but nine plus win seasons all three They've

730
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: got three top eleven classes. They are choosing not to

731
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: go to the portal route, and I think it's made

732
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: a difference when you look at the caliber of athlete

733
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: they have on the field. Not bad, not bad, but

734
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about going from making platinum records to for

735
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: the time being just making gold records. Still really good.

736
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: We just have to take it in the proper context.

737
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: Coaching very stable there. So I got Florida State and

738
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: Clemson one to two. That's Tier one, Tier two, and

739
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: the number three program in the ACC. It's in c State.

740
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: So quietly Dave Dorn's got North Carolina State up there.

741
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: Three winning seasons the last three years. They're one of

742
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: two teams to be above five hundred each of the

743
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: past three years. Can you believe that this conference has

744
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: been so subpar collectively? They have dropped the ball to

745
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: the point where there are only two teams that they've

746
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: had back to back to back seasons above five hundred,

747
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: and that's NC State and Clemson. Nine of eleven years

748
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: now under Dorn, they've had winning seasons and they've had

749
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: big jumps in talent acquisition lately as well. So NC State.

750
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: I've got this the number three program. I got Miami's

751
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: number four. Now, this is a classic balance of their

752
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: sky high in one of our metrics we care about,

753
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: and that's talent acquisition, but the on field product's not

754
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: there yet. They believe it will be this fall, but

755
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: this doesn't take that into account. This isn't a projection.

756
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: This is a gauge of the here and now. They've

757
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: got back to back top ten classes, back to back

758
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: top twelve in the portal. They're the overall best talent

759
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: acquisition program in the conference right now looking this year,

760
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean nine and a half is the over underwent

761
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: total for him. But right now, until they get it

762
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: done on the field, can't have them any higher than fourth.

763
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: Louisville's at five. They've gone from six and seven to

764
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: eight and five to ten and four. Jeff Brohm I

765
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: think maybe the most underrated head coach in America. They've

766
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: got three top twenty portal classes in the last three years,

767
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: so Louisville at five. North Carolina I am so disappointed

768
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: that they're down at six right now. They've just been

769
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction as a program. They've got

770
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: back to back classes now in recruiting outside the top

771
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, when the previous three classes had been in

772
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: the top fifteen. So they've had some staff come and

773
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: go there and it's been reflected in their recruiting efforts.

774
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: They I don't know they I just expect a lot

775
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: from North Carolina. I was talking to Cooper Protegnant here

776
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: and every now and then he really nails a point.

777
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: And it was that time of month the other day

778
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: and he said, exactly what I feel. North Carolina is

779
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: the place where any given year they just blow up,

780
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: could just blow up. Now. As for stability, it's kind

781
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: of shaky because every year you have the Mac Brown

782
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: retirement stuff that's gonna linger. It just is I mean

783
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: that's the nature of having a coach that's a little

784
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: up there in age. Got nothing against Mac Brown. Love

785
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: the guy, love him to death, but that's a reality.

786
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: And so that completes Tier two. Okay, now we get

787
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: to Tier three and I'm not gonna spend as much

788
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: time from here on out. SMU is in the ACC

789
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: Just breaking news for those of you unfamiliar with what's

790
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: been happening the last few months. They got the G

791
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: five jumps, So yeah, they got three winning seasons in

792
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: a row, but it was in the G five. I know.

793
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: The yeh butt with all of this. They were eleven

794
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 1: to three last year. They hadn't been under five hundred

795
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. Two of the last three classes in

796
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: the portal they've been in the top fifteen, so rhet lashly,

797
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: they've shown the ability to get guys in the portal.

798
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: They need to be better in high school recruiting and

799
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: I think they will, and I think this affiliation will

800
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: help them. Virginia Tech at eight, they just need the

801
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: engine to crank. They've been turning that ignition. They just

802
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: needed to crank. They're seven to six last year. They've

803
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: had three top fifty classes there's a lot of growing

804
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: energy in the program, but we need it to happen.

805
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: We needed to manifest itself on the field before we

806
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: bump them higher. Duke is nine, a lot of echoes

807
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: of Mike Elko of Elco. Not a bad goth band name.

808
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: Brad I'll talk to Bradley later. Bradley used to work

809
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: at Hot Topic. He listens to that stuff. Duke nine

810
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: and four and eight and five. Last two years, Mandy

811
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: Diaz loved the Mandy Daz higher there. They need players,

812
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: They just got to have players. Pitt and wake Forest

813
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: are ten and eleven, and wake Forest especially eleven and

814
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: three to eight and five to three and nine. Pitt

815
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: eleven and three to nine and four to three and

816
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: nine just pro they're just programs trending in the wrong direction.

817
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: And then you get to Tier four. I mean Syracuse,

818
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, Stanford, Georgia Tech could jump big. Now. Georgia

819
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Tech's in a position where the program's been dormant for

820
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: a little while, and Brent Key, you could feel it

821
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: start to click a little bit last year and this year.

822
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you can easily sell me on Georgia Tech

823
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: jumping up into They could jump up two tiers this year.

824
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: They got the best class coming in since they've had

825
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, they went from three to nine to

826
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: five and seven to seven and six this past year,

827
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: seven and six, So trending in the right direction. Stanford,

828
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, Troy Taylor year two. Not sure what to

829
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: make of things out there, could be a program on

830
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 1: the rise. And then, brother, when we get to tier

831
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: five of the ACC. You're talking about trying to distinguish

832
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: between col and Boston College and Virginia. I mean Col's

833
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: had three losing seasons. They have been top thirty in

834
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: the portal back to back years, for whatever that's worth.

835
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Boston College just hired Bill O'Brien as head coach. Okay, Virginia,

836
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: no double digit win seasonsin is nineteen eighty nine, no

837
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: legit signs of life there right now? I don't know.

838
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: So we had five tiers total in the ACC. But

839
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: I think the big thing to note is number one,

840
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: Florida State, in my opinion, is now the best program

841
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: in the ACC. We have not said that about anyone

842
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: other than Clemson in a while. And the other thing

843
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: is you got NC State Miami there with noticeable flaws

844
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: right now. But because of how open the ACC is,

845
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: you can be a flawed program like Miami. I mean,

846
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: they just barely were above five hundred last year, but

847
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: that's still good enough to have you top five in

848
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: the ACC if you're checking some of the other boxes.

849
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: My point being, it's still there to be had. The

850
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: ACC long term is still there to be had. All right,

851
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: let's roll it along. Got several more things to touch on, boy,

852
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: the next three things I'm going to talk about on

853
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: this show. We've got Alabama staffing moves. We got a

854
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: new Twister movie coming out. We got a big time

855
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: conundrum about Georgia versus Texas, and some fall weddings. Fanduels

856
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: got odds on some of these things. Our buddies at

893
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: amidst all the other chaos, there was some stuff that

894
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: just happened in Alabama. Has a lot of the natives concerned.

895
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: Let's let's discuss it here, very very tangy liquid in

896
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: the chalics supper tonight. Okay. Greg from Ardmore, Tennessee hit

897
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: me and said, Hey, what do you think the impact

898
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 1: of Ryan Grubb leaving has on Alabama? I think it'll

899
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: be fine, but looking for your wonderful wisdom. Well, Ryan

900
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: Grubb was the offensive coordinator for ten minutes maybe, and

901
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: then he took the Seahawks OC position. Scott Huff was

902
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: going to be the offensive line coach at Alabama. He

903
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: also went to Seattle. It looks like, according to Matt Zenitz,

904
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be Nick Sheridan who

905
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: just elevates from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator. He's

906
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: been a coordinator once upon a time before under Kaylen

907
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: de Borer. I don't really care. Kaylen de Bor is

908
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: just going to call the plays this year because that's

909
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: what's about to happen in Alabama. He's done it before.

910
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: It's his system. I'm very interested because we hadn't really

911
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: seen Grub do it without Kaylan de Bor. So not

912
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: that I'm glued to Seattle Seahawks football on Sunday afternoon,

913
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: but I'll be interested to see him without alignment next

914
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: to Kayln de Bor for the first time. I actually

915
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: think is the bigger loss. That guy had the Joe

916
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: Moore Award winning offensive line this past year, and I

917
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's lost on anyone watching this show how

918
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: much that Alabama offensive line struggled him. That was gonna

919
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: be a big upgrade for them. I mean, I'm looking

920
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: at BAMA lose Ryan Grubb, and while I had respect

921
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: for the guy and still do, BAMA losing Ryan Grubb,

922
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: I think it's not even as big a deal as

923
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: in losing Scott Huff. I mean, look, no one freaked out.

924
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: For example, when Kirby lost Dan Landing. You wouldn't freak

925
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: out if he lost Glenn Schuman. You wouldn't freak out

926
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: if he lost Will much And why call this Kirby's defense.

927
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: You don't freak out when he loses guys on his

928
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Just freak out when Josh Haipel

929
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: lost Goalish to USF. These are good coaches, but you

930
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: don't freak out when they lose him because you know

931
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: they possessed the ability to call that side of the

932
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: ball themselves. It's what they've done their whole life. I

933
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: don't care if he loses Grub Scott Huff. I kind

934
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: of care if he lost and he lost Scott Huff.

935
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not the one sitting here grading staffs

936
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: in February. I think it is well within our right

937
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: take a little while and see how it looks this year.

938
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: Could these things matter? They could matter a great deal.

939
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: Could we also see a staff that gels and is

940
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: great at Alabama in their first year and hits the

941
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: over nine and a half wins? Sure we could. Could

942
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: they win seven games? Sure they could. Like all of

943
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: those things are on the table. Can we just get

944
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: to spring ball? Can we Most most folks out there

945
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: hating on Bama staff can't even name Bama's staff. So

946
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 1: could we just get to spring ball? That's all I ask,

947
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: That's all I ask. Is my opinion changed on this front.

948
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I think it's gonna end up in time

949
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: being one of the best staffs in the SEC, best

950
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: staffs in college football, they'll be. Okay, that doesn't mean

951
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: that is not tannam out to me guaranteeing anything in

952
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: year one. Trust fund syndrome. Gotta knock that trust fund syndrome.

953
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: You're not entitled to eleven and a half wins per year. Okay.

954
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: I know you guys have been used to that, twenty

955
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: eight year old Bbama broke bro You're used to that.

956
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: That's not the way the real world works. There could

957
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: be a scenario where Kaylin de Boor is the right

958
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: higher and wins eight games this year Like that could happen,

959
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: which brings me back to my question I asked a

960
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: little while ago, what do you think is realistic to

961
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: expect from them? I've got immense amounts of respect for

962
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Debor long term, and it's not like they're going

963
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: to have a poverty roster this year. They'll be capable

964
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: of winning every game they play this year. It's just

965
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: the margins are going to be a whole lot smaller,

966
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of newness to be experienced by everyone.

967
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: So what's realistic? And I'm asking you that, And I'm

968
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: moving on because it's an open ended question that I

969
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: would like for us not to just rush to answer.

970
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: Now we get to the true meat of the show.

971
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: I opened up the mail bag today and what we're

972
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: going to do. We'll have another live show Thursday, We'll

973
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: have another one Sunday, and then after that we're back

974
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: to Sunday Thursday, Sunday Thursday, Sunday Thursday. But I wanted

975
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: to do a little taste test, if you will, to

976
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: remind you guys what the Late Kick Extra podcast is.

977
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: So our normal format, which we are about to return

978
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: to this time of year. Some would call it the

979
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: off season we just call it the weight season. We

980
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: do a Sunday night show, we do a Thursday night show, right,

981
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: and then on Tuesday slash Wednesday, we release what we

982
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: call the Late Kick Extra podcast. You can only find

983
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: it in the podcast feed and it's just mail bag

984
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: and it leads to notably some of our most legendary

985
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: episodes because you were driving the bus on it. So,

986
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: for instance, I've got a very very very big conundrum

987
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to address in just a second where someone's

988
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: sister has done the big no no in scheduled her

989
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: wedding on a Saturday in the fall. So don't worry.

990
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: I'll get to that. But firstly, Colin, I don't even

991
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: need this cut for VOD don't worry about it. Colin

992
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: hit me up from what is this Purcellville, Virginia or

993
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: maybe per Seville or maybe percel Vey, who knows anyway,

994
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: regardless of pronunciation of the city he lives in, he said,

995
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: or ask well, the new Twisters movie line up to

996
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: the original cast, soundtrack, nostalgia, etc. Cast No way it

997
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: can live up to the original. Rest in Peace, Bill Paxton,

998
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: Rest in Peace, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jamie Gertz is a

999
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: gozillionaire part owner of the Hawks. Now I doubt she

1000
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: gets involved. No word on Helen Hunt. She did not

1001
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: respond to our invitation to come on the show tonight,

1002
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's gonna happen. But are your

1003
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: rabbits in succession now and running for president? So I

1004
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: don't think that the cast is gonna line up the soundtrack.

1005
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: I am on a record of saying the Twister soundtrack

1006
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: is one of the most underrated in history. I mean,

1007
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 1: Shania Twain young still country as country gets Shania Twain

1008
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: on there, Goo Goo Dolls Van Halen just a phenomenal album,

1009
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: but some Lisa Lobe mixed in there, some nine inch

1010
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: nails mixed in there. But as for the overall plot,

1011
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful, Okay, I'm hopeful. And I was at management's

1012
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: house the other night when the trailer aired during the

1013
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which to me was one of the highlights

1014
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: of the game, to be honest, and I was captivated,

1015
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: and I walked to the front of the screen and

1016
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: everyone made fun of me, but that was just ambient noise.

1017
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: At that point, I was glued. For those of you unfamiliar,

1018
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: I am a stormchaser year round, but especially in the spring.

1019
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting ready to mount up and gird

1020
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: up our loins and head out on the road in

1021
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: about a month. And it's very fun. And the thing

1022
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: that Twister got right in nineteen ninety six, and the

1023
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: thing I hope this movie gets right, is not scientific.

1024
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: You cannot lose me quicker than being the atmospheric science

1025
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: nerd who walks in, pushes his glasses up, and talks

1026
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: about the scientific inaccuracies. In Twister, I don't care. What

1027
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: it captured is storm chasing culture perfectly, and I could

1028
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: not believe a Hollywood studio was able to capture that.

1029
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: They did. What you see in Twister is exactly the

1030
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: way it is out on the road. It's awesome, it's terrifying.

1031
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: It is it's amazing to see tornadoes in person. You

1032
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: have to be a sick, sick minded individual to crave that.

1033
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: And when you get a lot of those people together

1034
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: and then they travel over vast expanses of this great

1035
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: nation of ours, as you can imagine, it creates a

1036
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: little culture in and of itself, and it's awesome. It's awesome,

1037
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: So I take part in that. I love it. Twister

1038
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: got it right in ninety six. I hope this one

1039
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: gets it right coming up. You can't let the wrong

1040
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: voices in the room. In a way, tornadoes are like

1041
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: college football. It's a really really specific science, and chasing

1042
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: them is a very specific culture, just like college football

1043
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: is a very specific game. And what's great about college

1044
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: football does not equal what's great about any other sport

1045
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: out there. And you gotta have minds in the room

1046
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: who understand that, because you can go from a really

1047
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: good movie to cows flying through the air really quick

1048
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: if you got the wrong voices in the room. And

1049
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 1: so fingers crossed, fingers crossed, they get this one right.

1050
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 1: It stuns me it took this long for a sequel

1051
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: to Twister. I never ever ever tell people I chase

1052
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: tornadoes and have them go yeah, whatever. Everybody's fascinated by

1053
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: those things. Everybody is. How did this was one of

1054
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: the ten biggest movies of the nineties, by the way,

1055
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: and it took till twenty twenty four for the next

1056
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: one to come out. I have no idea. I have

1057
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: no idea. I remember we were at Big ten media

1058
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: Days last year. Jerry Immigs, the sid legendary sid at

1059
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State love Jerry, and I've talked to Jerry several times.

1060
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: I have never seen Jerry's face light up more than

1061
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: when I told him as he asked, what are you

1062
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: doing this time of year chasing tornadoes? Jerry? What are

1063
00:56:54,160 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: you doing football related activities? I'm chasing storms. My friend

1064
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: asked me like thirty questions. Everybody's like that, at least

1065
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: as far as what I encounter. So yeah, finally Hollywood

1066
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: gets around to the sequel in twenty twenty four. All right,

1067
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: next up, this one's going to cut some people deep.

1068
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: We're about to offend some people. If you're offended, ask yourself,

1069
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: did you deserve it? Colin, let's go. Hamilton, or as

1070
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: you might know him, Hamdog one one five hit me

1071
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: and said, Josh, my sister's getting married on October nineteenth.

1072
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: That is the Saturday that Georgia plays at Texas. I

1073
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I don't know how to

1074
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: tell her to wait a week. That's what he said. Well,

1075
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: I responded, and this is my approach, always has been,

1076
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: always will be in times like these, Hamilton, she made

1077
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: her decision, now you can make yours. I'm not telling

1078
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: you to skip the wedding. I'm telling you make your decision.

1079
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: The rules. For those of us who love college football,

1080
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: the rules are as easy as it gets. You got

1081
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: fifty two saturdays in the year. Do whatever you want

1082
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: with like thirty eight or thirty nine of them. We

1083
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: got about eleven or twelve of them. We need you

1084
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: to leave alone. Those are the fairest rules in the world,

1085
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: and if you violate them, you're free to do it,

1086
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: but you're not free from the consequences. I am not

1087
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: for the record part of team ban fall weddings. I

1088
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: don't need you to ban fall weddings. You can have

1089
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: a fall wedding. You may not care about college football,

1090
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: but I care about it. So I'm not gonna be there.

1091
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm Magic Johnson on this. I'm not gonna be there.

1092
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: I hate this. I hate this because I know every

1093
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: one of you have to face this. Inevitably. Eventually you

1094
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: have to face it. So here's my quarterly PSA. Some

1095
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: of you either don't have the stones to do it yourselves,

1096
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: or you're in a situation where you really can't speak

1097
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: up for the greater good of your relationship. So I'll

1098
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: do it for you. Just make sure she's in the truck.

1099
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: Make sure she's within earshot. Fast forward through this part

1100
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: right here, and turn the volume up. Most of us

1101
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: have about twelve or thirteen sacred days out of the year.

1102
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: They're Saturdays in the fall. You got fifty two of

1103
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: those Saturdays. You can do whatever you want to with them.

1104
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: Just give us those twelve or thirteen. It is the

1105
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: least selfish thing imaginable out of an entire calendar's worth

1106
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: of saturdays, to say, could I just get like twelve

1107
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: or thirteen for myself? You know this out there, those

1108
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: of you who believe in this satanic practice of fall

1109
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: Saturday weddings. You know this, and you encroach on them anyway.

1110
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: You don't accidentally do it. You willingly do it, and

1111
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: you do it with a smile on your face. It's

1112
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: not a joke. It is not a joke to some

1113
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: of us. I promise you you'll find out. You'll find out.

1114
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: Now I get to say that I have to work

1115
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: on Saturdays, but some of these folks don't get to

1116
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: say that. So I'm gonna break the news to you

1117
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: that some of them are too nice to break. Your

1118
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: wedding is a great thing, and we wish you a

1119
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: long and happy and prosperous marriage. And if you get

1120
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: married in April, we'll be happy to be there. But

1121
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: so help us. Your wedding is not as important to

1122
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: us as Georgia Texas. And I know you want to

1123
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: look at me and you want to say, did you

1124
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: just say what I think you said. I'll repeat it

1125
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: for you. College football saturdays are more important to us

1126
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: than your wedding, full stop, full stop. If our saturdays

1127
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: aren't important to you, don't expect your wedding to be

1128
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: more important to us. We don't owe you that, don't

1129
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: owe you a thing. We gave you several other options.

1130
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: He said, no, gotta have the fall. There's a lot

1131
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: of folks who feel this way, a lot of folks

1132
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: who feel this way. Now, I will get pushback on this.

1133
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: I know where it's going. I already do this song

1134
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: and dance like four times a year, because it needs

1135
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: to be said that frequently. There is going to be

1136
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 1: a group, little cabal, little cult of people who try

1137
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: and shame you for feeling this way. You need to

1138
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: get your priorities in order. I got them in order.

1139
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Mine just aren't like yours. I love this stuff. Like,

1140
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I got few things in life I really love, and

1141
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: one of them is every one of these saturdays from

1142
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: about September through early December. And it's all I'm asking

1143
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: you to do. Leave me alone on these saturdays. You're

1144
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: free to do what you want to do. I'm not

1145
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: trying to stipulate what you do. So you're crossing the

1146
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: fence and you're coming over here and trying to stipulate

1147
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: what I do. Don't apologize to these people. They don't

1148
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: hold the moral high ground on you. They get to

1149
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: live their way. I get to live my way. And

1150
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: if you live in your way bothers them, that's on them,

1151
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: that's not on you. So love what you love and

1152
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: don't apologize for it. And when people tell you get

1153
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: your priorities out of whack, you ask them who's sitting

1154
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: in a suit at three thirty five when Georgia, Texas

1155
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,959
Speaker 1: is kicking off, and who's the real fool in the room.

1156
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: I hate this for you, guys. I know a lot

1157
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: of you have to face this. I know you do.

1158
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: They make their decisions, you get to make yours. That's

1159
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the best advice I can give. And I know some

1160
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: of those situations are very untenable. Famously, we broke up

1161
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: a friendship over this thing. Two years ago. A guy

1162
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: DMed me and he said, here's my situation, and I

1163
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: told him essentially what I just told you. And then

1164
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: he took the show and played it for his buddy,

1165
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: whose wedding he was scheduled to BM. And then his

1166
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: buddy kicked him out of the wedding. And I don't

1167
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: know if they've talked since then, but you know what,

1168
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna leave it alone. I guess

1169
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: we define true friend a little bit differently man to

1170
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: man these days. All right, that's our show. For director Colin,

1171
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: For producer Jesse, I'm Josh Fate. Take care, have a

1172
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: great rest of your evening, and God bless. Must be
