I'm 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: a little bit warm. I worked out for about ninety 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: minutes this morning, got up early, and I was thinking 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: as I was driving back, played a good amount of tennis. 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: Was thinking that I was trying to figure out because 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: I knew you were going to ask me at the 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: onset of our ACC portion of this, how would you 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: define the AC schedule? What is the flow? What is 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: the rhythm? That's very difficult to do because there are 20 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven teams in the ACC. But you have a 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: phrase that was bouncing around, ping ponging in my head, 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: table tennising in my head. Whatever. Sure, and sometimes before 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: we do a show. I say you ready, and you say, 24 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know enough to be dangerous. 25 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: And there's something and maybe we'll start with the Big Twelve. 26 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll start with the ACC on this schedule preview Wednesday, 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: we're recording this. But there is something about the ACC 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: where basically everyone has something about them that they're just 29 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: enough to be a little dangerous. And that's why the 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: ACC kind of gets me going. It really does. Yeah, 31 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: I haven't thought about the totality of conferences in quite 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: some time. I think about teams and storylines and players 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: and coaches and issues whatever. But I was like, oh right, 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: Louisville al right, Syracuse, oh right, Wake Forest, oh right, 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: NC State all right, Virginia, Like there is just like 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: ooh this, So I'm I'm not worked up, but I'm 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: open to being worked up.

So today here is what we are doing. Well, 75 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 2: the last episode we went through the Big ten in 76 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. 77 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Two teams of the Alliance. 78 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: Dan as it were, talk through their schedules, talk through 79 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: where the sandwich games were, which teams had secret cake. 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Do you have that sound by. 81 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: The way for the secret cake? 82 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: You know, I do? Thank you, I do. 83 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: Nice little pick me up here early in the morning, 84 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: talk through the schedules that were a little bit easier, 85 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: the ones that were harder. Just things that from thirty 86 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: thousand feet above the college football world at this juncture 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 2: now in early June, it's things to maybe make a 88 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: note of Yeah in the diary, you've got by your bedside, 89 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: in your in in your computer as a reminder, just 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: little things that you might be interested in as a 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: college football fan. 92 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: Today. 93 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: We were actually going to do more today, but as 94 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: we were going through we found there was much more 95 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: to sink our teeth into than initially expect it. You've 96 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: got the ACC. You know it's thirty seventeen glory and 97 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: I have the Big twelve. Yes, why don't we start 98 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: with the ACC? Since he said at the top it 99 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: gets you going? Why does the ACC get you going? 100 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty two? 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: It's the idea of everybody having a specific reason for danger, 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and even the teams that have been down, even teams 103 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: you're dukes, you're Georgia Tech's, you're Boston's college. I don't 104 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: know why I've phrased it like that, but it does 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: make me laugh. Yeah, there is always a reason. And 106 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's just because they have a new coach, right, 107 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: Maybe it's Mike Alco coming in and like, okay, he 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: is has this experience running really top flight defenses at 109 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: major places. What can he do with perhaps lesser talent, 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: but defense's effort. Defense is intensity. What is it you 111 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: know about Tony Elliott and Virginia. What is it about, 112 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, a place hiring a new coordinator or returning 113 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, as many quarterbacks, specifically as the ACC does 114 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: that are intriguing that have been around for a little while. 115 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: And so with that, it's just an any given Saturday 116 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: element that doesn't necessarily exist elsewhere because the hierarchy, especially 117 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: with a newly vulnerable Clemson, is kind of up in 118 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: the air. 119 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: Now. 120 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,559 Speaker 1: Now, maybe Clemson has a dominant bounce back season, whatever, 121 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: But even so, even so, the hierarchy after whoever's at 122 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: the top, be it Clemson, be at NC State, be 123 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: it Pitt, whoever that has been rising and bubbling to 124 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: the ACC surface, it continues to be a full on 125 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: toss up, which I love, makes for good TV, makes 126 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: for interesting takes and stories throughout the year. So I 127 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know the ACC, just that combination of wild card 128 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: and experienced quarterbacks sign me up. Love it. So look, 129 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I want to start with Clemson. I want to unpack 130 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: that point a little bit further, because Clemson sure in 131 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: a matter of speaking, and perhaps only in a matter 132 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: of speaking, quote unquote, falling from grace last year, which 133 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: is not a good way to describe what happened last season, right, 134 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: but it fell a little bit short of expectations. So 135 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: we'll leave it there before we get into the cake 136 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: schedules in the ACC and the sandwich games and all 137 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the weird nuances that you found while looking through the 138 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: entirety of the thirty seven game slate within the ACC. 139 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Let's unpack Clemson a little bit. Clemson's schedule, as it 140 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: looks to my untrained eye, is not exactly the easiest slate. 141 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: It's been easy recently for Clemson, if only because they've 142 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: been so far and away better than everybody else in 143 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the conference. Yeah, but it's not an easy sla this 144 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: year by any stretch. I think some of the teams 145 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: on this slate have gotten better. Where are we at 146 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: with Clemson and how do you feel about the schedule 147 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: in front of them? So we've got neutral site Georgia 148 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Tech to open the season, and before we go, they 149 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: barely beat Georgia Tech last year, They barely beat the 150 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Jackets last year, so I still think they should easily 151 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: open the season with a win. The rest of the 152 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: non conference is whatever, it's Firman Louisiana Tech a very 153 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: much down Louisiana Tech squad on the road at Wake 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: will be challenging, and it's sort of a story of 155 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: stretches for Clemson because the meat of their schedule before that, 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: by date, ahead of their trip to South Bend and 157 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: playing Notre Dame. It's at Wake, NC State, at Boston College, 158 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: at Florida State, Syracuse. Now that's not a murderer's row, 159 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: but it's a wounders row. It's something and ty stick 160 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: with me, sell my nonsense. Wounders row, got it, wounder's row. 161 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: Thank you? 162 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: In that Who the hell likes playing Wake Forest? Who 163 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: likes playing Wake Forest? Even if you win by two touchdowns, 164 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be fun. It's not gonna be fun 165 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: defending the slow mash. Come on, get out of here. 166 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: Wake Forest is going to be a difficult out. They 167 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: were a gust of wind away from winning the ACC 168 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: last year, and they returned their quarterback and they extended 169 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: their coat like AC. The Wake situation is pretty good. 170 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: The defense won't be, but still hard out wounders row. 171 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: NC State might be the class of the conference. Good 172 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: team return a quarterback on solid ground late least that 173 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: game is at Clemson at Boston College. Has Clemson had 174 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: fun with Boston College lately? If filled your covid, if 175 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: we're not dealing with the Dennis Grossell experience, which I 176 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: believe we won't be, filled your covid in that sneaky 177 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: Will Levis Kenny Pickett like somebody's gotta get taken twenty 178 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: seventh in the NFL Draft. Filled your covid? Why not? 179 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: Phil is sort of the sentiment. So that's a BC 180 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: team that should be if they are healthy and they've 181 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: recruited decently enough. A tough out again wounders Row a 182 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: Florida State team in Tallahassee that we don't have a 183 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: good concept for, but we imagine they are going to 184 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: be better than the zero to four team that started 185 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: out last year. Experience more and more and more depth whatever. 186 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: The defense took a nice step forward, and Syracuse at 187 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: home has not been a great experience over these past 188 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: few years playing Syracuse and return a rushing attack. The 189 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: defense was quietly pretty decent and it has been these 190 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: past couple of years. Again, it's just there's no guppies 191 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: in that stretch, is what I'm saying. 192 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: Ty. 193 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: And then they finish out the year with who the 194 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: hell knows. We assume Notre Dame is going to be good. 195 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: We don't know how good that's in South Bend. That's 196 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: tricky to say the least. Both of theo are excuse me, 197 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: Notre Dame I believe has Syracuse, so they will both 198 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: have Syracuse right before that matchup. But Clemson has the 199 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: open date. Notre Dame has Syracuse. So there's a nice 200 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: little advantage at least there for Clemson ahead of that match. 201 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: But they still got to go to South Bend. 202 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: They still have to go to South Bend, which is 203 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: very much a chore, very much a chore. I like 204 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: where Clemson's at as a roster I think more of 205 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: than Notre Dame at the moment. But sure, what are 206 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: they getting from quarterback? Oh? Who knows. By the time 207 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: they're playing that game. Louisville complete toss up, complete wild card, 208 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: we'll see they've been recruiting, Well, those guys aren't playing 209 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: this year. And then Miami to it's November nineteenth. We 210 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: don't know anything about Miami. We know they have a 211 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: returning quarterback that has promised, and they finished with South Carolina, 212 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: who they blanked last year. It's just very stretchy that 213 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: there are no real You've got the by datahead of 214 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, which is wonderful, and that's an advantage, but 215 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: it's still South Bend and it's sort of getting Georgia 216 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: Tech when they do, not getting Duke, not getting first 217 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: year of Virginia Tech, not getting first year of Virginia 218 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: and the defense is accompanying those programs. It would have 219 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: been a really nice year to have one of those 220 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: defenses to get right in the middle of the schedule, 221 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: and they don't, and so this it's stretchy, it's landmine. 222 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: Clemson should be a double digit win program just because 223 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: of that defense, with competent offense and that defense, especially 224 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: up front, they should have win ten plus games. But 225 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: that's again wounders row acc Any given Saturday, I'm curious, Ty, 226 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: what is your reaction with this schedule. 227 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: I feel similarly, it seems like there are a lot 228 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: of potential land mines. What I'm trying to try and 229 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: what I'm trying to digest here is how I feel 230 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: any of these teams will fare against Clemson's defense totally, 231 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: because Clemson's defense is going to be amazing and by 232 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: the way their talent and offense is still amazing. It's 233 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: still a good team. As you said, double digit wins 234 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: looking at this it should be double digits with Flying Colors. 235 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 236 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: The question is is Clemson going to get back to 237 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: where they were pre the twenty twenty one season, when 238 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence was still there, when all of their coaches, frankly, 239 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: were still there. There's a lot of turnover that Clemson 240 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: is dealing with here on a couple different fronts, and 241 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: so in addition to some of these matchups which are 242 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: ever so intriguing, going to Notre Dame, going to Florida State, 243 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 2: going to Boston College the week before Florida State, there 244 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: are situations here that I think are very interesting. But 245 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: what underpins at all is the fact that this is 246 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: a program that did take a little bit of a 247 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: step back last year and then on top of it, 248 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 2: has had to deal with coaches with all sorts of 249 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: turnover that we frankly can't predict the outcome of right 250 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two. So Clemson, for sure, within the 251 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: ACC would be one of those teams that I think 252 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: we're ever so intrigued to find out more about. But 253 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: at this juncture early June. 254 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: Who knows, by the way, just in terms of the 255 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: schedule and the rhythm of the schedule, if dju ain't it, 256 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: it probably would have been nice to have an open 257 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: date before a lesser team than Notre Dame, to have 258 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: that open date before the Wake defense. We're like, all right, 259 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: we're splitting things with Cade Club Nick, or we're giving 260 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: the job to cad Clubnick before you know, playing against 261 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: the North Carolina defense in the you know, I think 262 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: it was Gene Chizick, right, he's taking over once again 263 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: the North Carolina deves. Like it would have been nice 264 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: to have that open date before a softer landing spot 265 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: if dju ain't it. So that's something else to just 266 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: pay attention to with the stretchiness of this schedule. So, yeah, Clemson, 267 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: we'll be fascinating and we'll preview them, of course in 268 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: a later summer. 269 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: As you look across the ACC, Yeah, which of the 270 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: schedules really jump out to you as being secret cake? 271 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Virginia is in an awesome place, and it's nice 272 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: that they're in an awesome place with an experienced quarterback. Now, 273 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: they were hit a little bit hard by the portal 274 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: as most teams are when there are coaching changes, and 275 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens on both sides of the ball. 276 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: With Virginia the defense, it needs to take major steps forward. Overall. 277 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: I think they're in a good cakey situation. And I 278 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: don't know what North Carolin like, I don't know what 279 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: semi cake is because cupcake has its own meeting on 280 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: schedules and that's not what it is. So they're just 281 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: like a North Carolina has sort of a muffiny schedule. 282 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't know a scony schedule. It's not full cake, 283 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: but there is batter involved. But yeah, Virginia is my answer. 284 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: So Virginia opens up with Richmond. They have Illinois on 285 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: the road. ODU, that's sort of sandwich if we're going 286 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: to talk sandwiches eventually between Illinois and Syracuse, which, buddy, 287 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: that is a thin sandwich. That is a that is 288 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: a cucumber tee time sandwich. That is not much of one. 289 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: Two necho wafers holding something together. 290 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: Correct. But here's here's the Virginia like. I know you 291 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: don't have like the heavy metal music we used to 292 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: make fun of Baylor's schedule with, but it's Richmond, Illinois, 293 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: ODU Syracuse Duke Louisville at home before the open date. Buddy, 294 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: that's Pillowy Soft. That's wonderful. That's USA Nysoft Illinois on 295 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: the road, as is Syracuse. I believe that's the Thursday 296 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: or Friday night game. So whatever, it's it's short week. 297 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: That's not great. Open date before Georgia Tech on the road, 298 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: which it looks like it's also a midweek game Thursday 299 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: or Friday, and then they finish. It's definitely tougher. Okay, 300 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Virginia definitely finished with a tougher slate. But the road 301 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: home splits are. 302 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: Wonder Holy cow, I'm looking at this now. 303 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: So it's Miami, North Carolina Pit Okay, from the ACC, 304 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: all in a row, all at home, all in Charlottesville. Now, 305 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't believe Charlottesville gives a team a unique home 306 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: field advantage. It's not. It's not a hornet's nest by 307 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: any stretch. But you want to get those teams at 308 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: home rather than go on the road. And then they 309 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: have Coastal Carolina as a sandwich between PITT and the 310 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: rivalry game against Virginia Tech on the road. It's at 311 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: Lane stadium. So that is a it's a difficult stretch. 312 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: But we're talking out what will probably be a flawed 313 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Miami defense, what will probably be a flawed in North 314 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Carolina defense, what will be a probably pretty good at 315 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: least pit defense, a very tough out in coastal and 316 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,239 Speaker 1: first year of Virginia Tech. In terms of drawing up 317 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: a schedule, this schedule. 318 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 3: Is barely in the acc. 319 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: Barely acc getting you no NC State, getting you no Clemson, 320 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: and getting you no Florida State. Tony Elliott with a 321 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: thread count, my man, that is otherworldly. So that is 322 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: that is a soft, soft takeoff spot. We could talk 323 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: Tony Elliott. 324 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: Air to our kids about a seven to oher UVA 325 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 2: squad going into Halloween weekend against Miami. 326 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: Correct. So good for Virginia. And look, if Tony Elliott 327 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: was weighing multiple jobs and looked at the first year 328 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: schedules of the teams that he was considering, Virginia's pretty good. 329 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Virginia is a pretty nice start. So yeah, I expect 330 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: Virginia to go to a bowl game this year. I 331 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: don't think that's unreasonable. 332 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 2: Man, Brian Kelly should have gone to Virginia. 333 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: With Brian Kelly should have gone to Virginia. 334 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 2: Oh night. 335 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Charlottesville is nice. I've enjoyed my time. I know it 336 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: was in the news for not great reasons a few 337 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: years ago, but having been to Charlottesville a few times, 338 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. Wow, all right, any other teams in the 339 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: ACC that jump out to you with a secret cake schedule? 340 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: So North Carolina does not have much in the non 341 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: con It's a pretty empty September. They have app State 342 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: on the road, which I'm not going to call soft. 343 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: That's difficult, but in terms of who they could be 344 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: playing with regard to a Power five program on the 345 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: road or something like that, all things considered pretty ideal 346 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: before they get an open date before Notre Dame at 347 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: home pretty good in terms of road home splits. North 348 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Carolina then has Virginia Tech after Notre Dame. First year 349 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: coach Virginia Tech, and who the hell knows what they're 350 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: going to be couple of road games after that. So 351 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: it's Miami on the Road, which I mean the stretch 352 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame, the upside of Virginia Tech, which I 353 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: still think is kind of lacking. Miami on the road, 354 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: Duke on the Road, not terribly worried about Duke and 355 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: then an open date before a reasonable ish portion of 356 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: their schedule, I mean getting Pit at home, Virginia on 357 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: the road, Wake on the road, Georgia Tech, and then 358 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: the rivalry game at home against NC State North Carolina, 359 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: not getting Clemson, not getting Florida State, not getting I 360 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: mean they get Pit, but they get Pitt at home, 361 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: like I don't know, getting Notre Dame at home. I 362 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: think in terms of like the narrative around mac Brown 363 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: and like, so what are we now a few years 364 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: in now making a change at defensive coordinator, you know, 365 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: the defense really letting things go, Sam Howell having a 366 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: good but not great year and falling in the draft. 367 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: This is definitely a schedule that works out well for okay. 368 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: Mac Brown made a statement in twenty twenty two that 369 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: North Carolina is a double digit ish win program. 370 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: Again, what I find fascinating about this discussion is when 371 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: we talk about teams not getting Clemson, not getting Florida State, 372 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: not getting NC State on their schedule, that means somebody 373 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: else did correct. By all accounts to that team is Syracuse. 374 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 2: They were sort of the junk drawer that caught everything 375 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: this schedule is. 376 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: Thank you, Olivia. 377 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to this one. Please open up the year 378 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: with Louisville, which, look they're Syracuse. They ran the hell 379 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: out of the ball year ago. Louisville total wild card, 380 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: as he said. There's a game here a couple weeks 381 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: later against Purdue. It's in the Carrier Dome or the 382 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: JMA Wireless Dome. Yes, please forgive me. Yeah, but that 383 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: won't be an easy out. There's the Virginia game that 384 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. There's a bye week the second week 385 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: of October, and then s gets real, as the kids 386 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: like to say. NC State at home at Clemson, Notre 387 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: Dame at home at pitt Florida State at home at 388 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: Wake at Boston College, thank you very much. Don't know 389 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: if Dino is going to a bowl again this year, but. 390 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: If they do, it's because they had some outsized level 391 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: of success after that bye week in early October. 392 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. I assume you played dodgeball or some version of 393 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: dodgeball growing up. 394 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: I did. Yeah. 395 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever found yourself because you're 396 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: pretty nimble as like the last guy I have the 397 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: last person in and you just have those handballs flying 398 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: at you from every angle. You're jumping, you're ducking, you're weaving, 399 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: you're doing everything you possibly can to stay alive because 400 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's brutal out here, right. So that 401 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: is the back half of Syracuse's schedule. They feel a 402 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: little bit gumpy in that they're playing so many of 403 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: these good teams that they could find themselves in a 404 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: nice situational spot that what Syracuse is will secretly go 405 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: a long way to help decide where the acc falls 406 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: into place by the end of the year. I don't 407 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: love ques, but you have that combination of running the 408 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: ball and defensive promise that they become one of the 409 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: more interesting teams in the way that Nebraska last year 410 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: had that brutal schedule and put the fear of God 411 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: into a number of teams competing for interesting postseason play. 412 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: I think Syracuse and maybe to a lesser extent, Louisville, 413 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: they're both kind of in that spot, though I think 414 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: Louisville may have a higher ceiling, but I'm I got 415 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: to see something out of Louisville before I fully believe. 416 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: But yeah, Syracuse is absolutely in that gumpy dodgeball place. 417 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: Another team, Florida State, Yeah, Florida State. Florida State's schedule 418 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: is another one that I think rises to that brutal level, 419 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: if only because they always have the games against Miami 420 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: and Florida. Right now, we don't know what Florida is 421 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: going to be this year. They close out their season 422 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: the week of Thanksgiving with the Florida Gators. That game 423 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: is in do Campbell Stadium. But before they even get 424 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: to that point, I'm looking at a game here Week 425 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: one for Week two. Excuse me, I guess technically Week 426 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: one their second game against LSU and the non conference, 427 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: So right off the bat, a schedule book ended by 428 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: at least pretty good SEC teams that ain't easy. Mm hmm. 429 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: There's a stretch in here in the middle part of 430 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: October where they're going two NC State and then the 431 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: following week coming back home against Clemson that. 432 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: I think that's another wounders road, to be honest. 433 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: There's a Wake game in there as well, which I 434 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 2: surely I justin leaving Wake Forest out. Yeah, and then 435 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: we've got a stretch here with on the road at 436 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: Miami followed by on the road in the JMA Wireless 437 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 2: Dome up. 438 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: There in Syracuse, New York. 439 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 440 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: You never know what could happen in a game like that. 441 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: They close out the year with Florida Gators. 442 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: So look, I wait, hold on, they've got They've got 443 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: Louisiana Sanwich, Louisiana Sandwich in there. 444 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know what to expect out of 445 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 2: Louisiana now, new coach, but this has been a pretty 446 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: good team. There's a lot going on in this schedule, 447 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: and they earn a whole lot of breaks from Orvelle 448 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 2: as he tries to plot and prod his way through 449 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two calendar. 450 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: No, it's a tricky schedule. I would have liked to 451 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: have that open date ahead of Miami. That would have 452 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: been nice for Florida State, or ahead of NC State 453 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: or ahead of Clemson. Obviously they have two open dates 454 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: because they do play that Week zero game before LSU. 455 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that's stretch, that final stretch of at 456 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: Miami at Syracuse again gumpy, not a huge threat, but 457 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: in there Louisiana and Florida to finish things out. Florida 458 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: State again, their team with quarterback experience and what we 459 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: perceive to be an improved defense, and that is not 460 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: necessarily like Florida State's defense is ahead of most of 461 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: the ACC. But still, no, that's no time for rest. 462 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: There's no rest for the weary there. And so that's 463 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: the Florida State schedule will be pretty indicative of where 464 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: they are. They won't be floating through the ACC. It's 465 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: not Virginia, it's not North Carolina. And I'm excited for 466 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: the season for Florida State. I think, especially with how 467 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: they hit the portal, how they've recruited, I think they 468 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: have every opportunity in the world to be a comfortable 469 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: bowl team this year. I hope, Yes, I hope. 470 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: So I'm rooting for him. Yeah, I genuinely am rooting 471 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: for him. All right, what are our other observations about 472 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: the ACC Conference as a whole with regard to schedule? 473 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: Are their sandwich games? Are there big games that occur 474 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: after a bye week that you think may favor one 475 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: team over another? Give us some talking points again, thirty 476 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: thousand feet above the college football universe at this juncture 477 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: on June the second, whatever today's date and month are. Yeah, 478 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: but where's Dan Rubinstein at what jumps out to you? 479 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: So Georgia Tech is pure uncut havoc here long, Sorry, 480 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: but it's the reality. Georgia Tech fans have known this 481 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: for quite some time, but opening with Clemson Western Carolina, 482 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: but going from Clemson to in terms of FBS programs, 483 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Ole Miss, UCF on the road, Pitt on the road, 484 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: Duke Thankfully at home, an open day to bye week 485 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: before getting Virginia. It looks like on a Thursday or 486 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: Friday on midwek Virginia and then Florida State and Virginia 487 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: Tech on the road whatever it is Virginia Tech is, 488 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: and then finishing with Miami at home, North Carolina on 489 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: the road, and Georgia on the road to bookend your 490 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: season with Clemson and Georgia and then have the meat 491 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: of your season feature UCF, Pitt, Florida State, and North 492 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Carolina all on the road with whatever the upside of 493 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: those programs are. With as down and the changes that 494 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: were made in Atlanta by Jeff Collins losing Jamior Gibbs 495 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: the clear number one playmaker to Alabama. It's if there 496 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: were ever a team who needed an elite ephis, an 497 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: elite knuckler of like a what exactly what exactly are 498 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: we doing? Is Dave Clawson doing it wake forest. Can 499 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: we do some sort of ephecy version of an offense 500 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: slow the slowest mesh? Can we slow down the wake 501 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: mesh even more? 502 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: Like? 503 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: How can we become a lethal orthodonist? Essentially is where 504 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is. Where they They're just gonna have to 505 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: somehow just destroy the will of these teams because it's 506 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: not gonna be a talent thing. It's not gonna be 507 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: a force. At the line of script, it's I don't 508 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: know what you do. This schedule has Jeff Collins staging 509 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: his house and taking drone shots from above just to 510 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: get it ready for the eventual Zilo listing wherever we're 511 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: putting houses these days. Yeah, this is not it's just 512 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: a rough job, man, This is not a good situation. No, 513 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: it's also, by the way, not to go too far afield, 514 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go a little bit far afield. It 515 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: is not a good time to be a program that 516 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: has semi or fully rigorous academic standards like Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, 517 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: cal like all these places in the portal era where 518 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: you can have an easier time academically, and not that 519 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: this is you know, the a sport in which academics 520 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: is paramount, but man, if you have a choice, notre 521 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: name maybe the only school right now in that academic 522 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: conversation that's thriving. And even still they probably have a 523 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: more difficult time revamping a roster than most. So it's 524 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: just it's tricky. And look, thankfully Atlanta is in a 525 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: wonderful spot geographically to recruit well and to you know, 526 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: bring kids home who don't work out elsewhere. But damn 527 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech season woof, Buzz's girlfriend, Woof? 528 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: What else do we got? What other games spots are? 529 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: Of noteits is pretty good. The opening is tricky to 530 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: pit schedule, especially with you know, changes at quarterback and 531 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: changes it offensive coordinator, losing argue with the best receiver 532 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: of the country at USC and Jordan Edison sorry Pitt fans, 533 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: But opening with West Virginia in the backyard brawl, that's wonderful. 534 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: That's amazing. And they're going straight from that to Tennessee. 535 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: Wow. 536 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: Okay, But in terms of home road splits, they basically 537 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: have nothing on the road early on. I think it's 538 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: Western Michigan to whom they lost last year, to be Claire, 539 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: but Rhode Island Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech. That's it's all fine, 540 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: and it's much more roadie on the back half, but 541 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: it's still like, these are the defenses they're facing on 542 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: the road with what we assume. I don't know, are 543 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: you a Frank Signetti Diehard? I'm not, but whatever Keyton 544 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 1: Sliavas I think is fine. But I don't know. The 545 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: offense is going to take a step back for sure 546 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: to me. But if the defense is pretty good, it's Louisville, 547 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: North Carolina, Virginia and Miami's defense all on the road. 548 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of okay with it. I'm 549 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: kind of okay with Pitt having like a step back, 550 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: but like not being a flash in the pan of 551 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I still think they're gonna be pretty good. 552 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: I think I still think they have their act together enough, 553 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: and Syracuse and Duke are bought that home in that 554 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: part of the schedule. I like an eight win PIT 555 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: to me seems like a world in which we live. Yeah, 556 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: So I think I think the infrastructure of PIT is 557 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: pretty solid, especially with all the changes across the board 558 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: in the ACC. So that stands out to me that 559 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, defending champ. 560 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 2: Any sandwich games any games off by like, yes, any 561 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 2: of those potential land minds that you're able to identify 562 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: now again on this sixth month of our Ward twenty 563 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: twenty two. 564 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: Virginia, technically, if we can go back to our finger 565 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: sandwich of the early part of their season, has a 566 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: triple decker sandwich situation. Now they're not especially me but 567 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: they're sandwiches. So they have all old do menu between 568 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Illinois and Syracuse, which are both on the road. They 569 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: have Duke between at Syracuse and Louisville again who knows, 570 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: and Coastal between pitt and Virginia Tech Coastal. That's amazing. Yeah, 571 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Virginia is overlooking Coastal. They're too smart 572 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: and it'd be idiotic to do so. But that is 573 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: a tough sandwich. That is a tough, tough sandwich. There 574 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: other sandwiches that are interesting. Wake has Army after Clemson 575 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: and Florida State on the road. That's not a sandwich. 576 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: That's just like let downy right there, Like who would 577 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: want to play against Army. Army is not a bad 578 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: team either, No, they'll be fine. Yeah, And that that's 579 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: just gonna be tricky. So Florida State has a wake 580 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: look ahead ahead of at NC State and Clemson, which 581 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: is not again it's orthodonically in idea on ideal, I 582 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: don't know, that's not a word. They have a Georgia 583 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: Tech look ahead before Miami, and they have the Louisiana sandwich, 584 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: which I mentioned after two road games and before Florida. 585 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I think the floor is still going 586 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: to be pretty high with Louisiana, and if we've learned 587 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: anything about Florida State, they'll lose two to seven dumb games. Ty. 588 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: The Mike Norvelle era is not, you know, without its 589 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: embarrassing moments. Other Miami has Duke between at Virginia Tech 590 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: and at Virginia. I mean, look, we don't know what 591 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: Duke's going to be. We anticipate a rough first year. 592 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: Clemson's got a buye before Notre Dame, as I mentioned, 593 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: if we're going to do the buys before biggies or 594 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: nose before goes. I mentioned Pitt having Syracuse between North 595 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: Carolina and Virginia both on the road. Again, this is 596 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: the gumpiness of Syracuse this year. Again, the buyes before biggies. 597 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: Florida State is a bye between at LSU and at Louisville, 598 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: which is nice, but you'd hope for a bye later 599 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: on in the season that you know, you get into 600 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: a rhythm early and then get that you know, that 601 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to lick some wounds. NC State a bye before 602 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: their Thursday at Lane Stadium, but as does Virginia Tech, 603 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: q s as a buye before NC State, so file 604 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: that away potential uptet situation. Miami has a buye before 605 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: North Carolina. North Carolina has one before pitt so you 606 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: know there's there's some ideal spots for these buyes ahead 607 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: of some bigger games. We talked about the gumpiness of 608 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: both Louisville and Syracuse. I mean we can discuss a 609 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: little bit. We haven't really mentioned Louisville properly, but another 610 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: ACC team with UCF on the road. So again, if 611 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: if the conceit is Syracuse is frisky, maybe not good, 612 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: but bowli ish at Syracuse at UCF, Florida State, USF 613 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: at Boston College at Virginia Louisville will be very much 614 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: roadied out in the first part of the season. We're 615 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: making that ver like I'm I'm an insane English failure. 616 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: I understand that, but they finish not ideally. Again, this 617 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: is Pitt wake Forest, James Madison, whatever. But Pitt in 618 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: wake Forest is not an ideal to some at Clemson 619 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: n C State right game at Kentucky. It's just if 620 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: Louisville is a bowl team. If Louisville wins seven or 621 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: eight games, they're a good team. They're a full on 622 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: good team with that schedule. All right, this is road 623 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: games Syracuse, UCF, Boston College, Virginia, Clemson, Kentucky, Ky. 624 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: You can take better than that. You could do better 625 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 3: than that. 626 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: That's rough man wow. So yeah, if I don't, I 627 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: don't necessarily I couldn't find a snake in the toilet 628 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: Saturday that was fully appeasing to me. I guess maybe 629 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: it's October twenty second, So that's BC at wake whatever. 630 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: That's just a good game. So that's the Syracuse game. 631 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: For Clemson at home, it's Louisville Pitts. So maybe Pitt's 632 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: in a good place and Louisville's down and they come 633 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: up and bite them. Duke at Miami, Virginia, Georgia Tech 634 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: is not snaky for anybody maybe if again, if Louisville's 635 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: down with Pitt. Yeah, I didn't really find one that 636 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: had multiple like trappy elements to it. 637 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 2: I found the name of the snake that lives in 638 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: the toilet, and it's a team that exists on the 639 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: Big Twelve side of this conversation. If you're done with 640 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 2: the ACC, we can move on with. 641 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: I think I'm good, unless you unless you feel good 642 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: about like the Sadderfield Snake because of the literation Syracuse snake, 643 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: Syrus snake. Okay, let's move on. So that's your ACC, 644 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: that's your ACC schedule preview, and everybody's got just enough 645 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: in the tank or just enough in the unknown portion 646 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: of the tank to be dangerous. What do you want 647 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: to know about the Big twelve schedule, Dan, Well, obviously 648 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot for any wounders 649 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: Rose wo wounders Rose, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's English. I 650 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: want to know the road back to championship status for Baylor. 651 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,959 Speaker 1: I want to know what Brent Vennables has in front 652 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: of him. I want to know what Sunny Dykes has 653 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: in front of him. I always like learning about new coaches, 654 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: and I look, I want to know the sort of 655 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: the gumpiness. Who is going to be low key in 656 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: the way that you remember, like Pitt was at the 657 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: nucleus of the playoff and postseason race a few years ago, 658 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: who is the nucleus of all things Big Twelve Championship. 659 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: Why don't we start with Oklahoma, Okay, and we can 660 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: work our way over to the true forest gump of 661 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, the name of the snake and the 662 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: proverbial toilet. Okay, Oklahoma is in an interesting spot, if 663 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: only because they've got a new coach, welcome home, Brent Venables, 664 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: if only because their quarterback Cale Williams went westward to USC, 665 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: a whole line change going on at Norman. 666 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 2: And clearly there's a lot of excitement right with this regime. 667 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 2: I think as all things go from a scheduling standpoint, 668 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 2: on the Oklahoma side of things, they did pretty well 669 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: here with this schedule. Now, keep in mind, as opposed 670 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: to the acc which we just got done discussing, all 671 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: of these teams in the Big Twelve play each other. 672 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 2: There's a nine game conference slate. They all play each other. 673 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 2: And so when we go through and try to decipher 674 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 2: who has it best, who as it worse, We're ultimately 675 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: looking at the margins here. Where are these games being played? 676 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 2: When are they being played? You know, Like, for example, 677 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: West Virginia plays at Pitt and at Virginia Tech first 678 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: month of the year. I don't know much about Pitt 679 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: or Virginia Tech and what to expect from them in 680 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, but those are two tough road games 681 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 2: sure that wouldn't necessarily want to be a part of me. 682 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 2: While Oklahoma States got I think it's Asu and Arkansas 683 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 2: Pine Bluff, I'd much rather have that slate. Oklahoma as 684 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 2: it were, isn't really at either of those extremes. But 685 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 2: I think they've got a nice smooth launch for Brent Venables. 686 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: They open the year at home with U TAP and 687 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 2: Kent State, two teams they should pound before they got 688 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,959 Speaker 2: to go on the road to Lincoln, Nebraska. That'll really 689 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 2: be the first real test for Brent Ventnables. After that point, 690 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: that's when things start to heat up. If I'm an 691 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan, I feel much better about the schedule early 692 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 2: than late, because the deeper you get into this thing, certainly, 693 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 2: as you push into the latter stages of October and 694 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 2: all throughout the fine month of November, you're going to 695 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 2: find some of that wounder's row that you discussed earlier. 696 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: It's a fun word. 697 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 2: It is a fun word. 698 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: There aren't any true. 699 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 2: Murderers rows type situations in the Big twelve, and so, 700 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: at least from that standpoint, I think the Conference did 701 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 2: a good job piecing these schedules together in a way 702 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 2: that isn't too unfair to teams not named Kansas State 703 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 2: or you know, some other teams that aren't named West Virginia. 704 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: But for the most part, they did a pretty good job. 705 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 2: What worries me, if there are any worries on the 706 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 2: Old Homa side of things, are the deeper you get 707 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 2: into this, the harder it gets. Right, we all know 708 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: about week six. Week six, this is when they play 709 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 2: when they play the neutral site Red River game against Texas. 710 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 2: That one, obviously will be a pretty big deal that 711 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 2: we talk about time and time and time again. But yep, 712 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: as we get into week nine and beyond at Iowa 713 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 2: State home against Baylor, a weird sandwichee kind of game 714 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: on the road at West Virginia, Oklahoma State back home 715 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 2: in Norman for bedlam, and then they close out the 716 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 2: year at Texas Tech a week after that Bedlam game. 717 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 2: So I think, all things considered, a pretty good start 718 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: here to the season four. Brent Vennables should give him 719 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 2: a chance to get his feet under him, get the 720 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 2: team in good working order. Wouldn't mind a little bit 721 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: of an easier stretch to close out the year, but 722 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 2: presumably he'll have his ducks in a row by then 723 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: and that'll be in pretty good shape. On the Texas 724 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 2: side of things, though, it is a little bit of 725 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: a different story and there is more of that wounders 726 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 2: row scenario that you describe. Texas does not have an 727 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: easy go of things throughout the month of September. That 728 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 2: is primarily because they play Alabama week two and they're 729 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 2: gonna lose to Alabama week two. Hate to burst anyone's 730 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 2: bubble wow. After that Alabama game, which is at home, 731 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 2: in a nice game for the folks that want to 732 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: go to dk or and watch potentially a playoff contender 733 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 2: UTSA comes to town. 734 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 3: UTSA was very good a year ago. 735 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: Lost their offensive coordinator Illinois, as we all know. 736 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 2: Some losses, but still well coached team yep should win 737 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 2: that game, but interesting close out September road tilt against 738 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 2: Texas Tech. We'll get to Texas Tech. Yeah, we'll get 739 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 2: to Texas Tech. But as you push into October, Oklahoma 740 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 2: the neutral cider, weird sandwich game after Oklahoma against Iowa State. 741 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: Iowa State's had some recent success against Texas. Don't overlook 742 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 2: the Clones, even though they're losing a fair amount. Yeah, 743 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 2: following week on the road at Oklahoma State before a bye. 744 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 2: There are stretches here for Texas earlier in the year 745 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: that I think are concerning. And so if I'm comparing 746 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Texas and those two schedules, I'd almost assuredly 747 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 2: want to be on the sooner side of things and 748 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 2: on the longhorn side. Yeah, I mean, even just the 749 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 2: home road splits, even the games that you mentioned. After 750 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 2: the Alabama game, it's at West Virginia and at Iowa State. 751 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 2: The two what I assume the two farthest trips, they 752 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: are home against West Virginia and home against Iowa State. Oh. 753 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the matrix and I'm looking at 754 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: it backwards because the Big Twelve is insane and they 755 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: don't put non conference games on their schedule, and everybody 756 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: else is sticking with like the baseball you. 757 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 3: Go to set. I'm going to send you my sheet. 758 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: Please send me your sheet. I'm out of Oh my God, 759 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: go to this. 760 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 2: This is a hyperlink. You can use your browser for it. 761 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: God, the Big Twelve is insane. It is insane. It 762 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: isn't home puts home games in gray. I don't know, God, 763 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: this is why You're conference is falling apart. Dummies can't 764 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 1: even do that right. 765 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State has the cake schedule of the Big Twelve, 766 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 2: as opposed to some of these other teams that have 767 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: harder non conference opponents. In the month of September, Oklahoma 768 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 2: State has taken a different approach by scheduling Central Michigan, 769 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 2: Arizona State, and Arkansas Pine Bluff all at home before. 770 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: A bye, arguably the most dangerous of the sub Arkansas schools. 771 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: And there aren't any terrible runs here either. Right now, 772 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: after the buye there's a game against Baylor. After Baylor, 773 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: there's a Tech game, and they're you know, they've got 774 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 1: a pretty good series of buffers here where they don't 775 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: have a ton. 776 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 3: Of back to back killers. 777 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 2: I think Oklahoma State should be in pretty good shape. 778 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm not certain how I feel about Oklahoma State because 779 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 2: I haven't done. 780 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 3: The preview yet. With losing Jim Knowles, you. 781 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: Know where I stand on Spencer Sanders. I'm just not 782 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 2: a fan. But from a scheduling standpoint, Oklahoma State's in 783 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: a pretty good spot. A team that's in a really 784 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 2: good spot is TCU uh TCU September maybe a little 785 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 2: bit harder than Oklahoma State, maybe with Colorado and a 786 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 2: road tilt against SMU on the slate. They also play 787 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 2: something called Tarlton State, sure, which I had to look up. 788 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: Their logo looks like a blue version of Texas A 789 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 2: and m's t over the state of Texas. I don't 790 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 2: know who came up with it first, but that's really 791 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 2: the only notable thing. 792 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: That sounds like if you had if you were going 793 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: to make up a girlfriend or boyfriend and you're like, oh, 794 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: how do you know them? Where do they go to school? Uh? 795 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: Tarl Tarlton State's seventh. 796 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 3: In the whack. 797 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 2: They were six and five a year ago. Okay, uh, 798 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,760 Speaker 2: but again the same deal, play all the same teams, 799 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 2: but both Oklahoma Oklahoma State at home. As you push 800 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 2: later into the year, as you get into November, they've 801 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 2: got a tougher stretch with Tech and Texas Tech and 802 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 2: Texas and bayle in Iowa State to close out the season. 803 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 2: But for sure, the first eight games on that schedule 804 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 2: are spaced out pretty nicely, so I feel pretty good 805 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: about what Sunny Diykes is walking into. That's another not 806 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 2: quite Virginia situation, but it's it's ideal. On the brutal side, 807 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 2: West Virginia's is ridiculous. West Virginia's is ridiculous. Talk to 808 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 2: me pitt in Virginia Tech on the road first month 809 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 2: of the season, after the Virginia Tech game on the 810 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 2: road at Texas before a bye, then Baylor, then on 811 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 2: the road at Texas Tech. They've got Oklahoma, Kansas State, 812 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State to close out the year, also Iowa State 813 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 2: first week of November. West Virginia's in a spot where, frankly, 814 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 2: we don't know what they are. And we had this 815 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 2: conversation time and again about Neil Brown getting a new 816 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: quarterback in the transfer this season. Perhaps that'll work out, 817 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 2: perhaps it won't. I want to feel optimistic about West Virginia, 818 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 2: but I don't see a whole lot of reason to here. 819 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 2: This is a tough slate for them. 820 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: What's interesting, by the way, basically all of these schools 821 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: that you mentioned maybe I mean there's there's like two 822 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: or three that have returning quarterbacks exactly like they're exactly 823 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: and see that. That's a really important point when it 824 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: comes to all things Big twelve for me. Yeah, there's 825 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: something kind of wide open. 826 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: Now. 827 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: Blake Shaven played obviously for Baylor, and like there have 828 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: been guys who've played, but there's something that is easily 829 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: defined about the acc because we kind of have an 830 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: idea of the quarterback ceilings. Whereas now we're just like JT. 831 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: Daniels at West Virginia, why not, like this is Adrian 832 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: Martinez Kansas State? Why not this? 833 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 2: This is such an important point. I'm glad you brought 834 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 2: it up. I thank you jotted it down on my 835 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 2: note sheet as well. This is why if I saw 836 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 2: this schedule in advance of the twenty one season, I 837 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,959 Speaker 2: would have been way more excited than I am right now. 838 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 2: This is spased out really well for the top teams 839 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 2: in this conference. It is spased out fairly well. They 840 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 2: did a good job not stacking the deck against any 841 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 2: one team, any one team not named Kansas State or 842 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 2: West Virginia, but by large your you're Oklahoma's and Texas's 843 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 2: and Oklahoma States and Baylor, Like, all of these teams 844 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 2: are in a pretty good spot where the schedule is 845 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 2: not unfair to that, right, we just knew so much 846 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 2: more about all these teams a year ago, at least 847 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 2: we thought we did at this stage in early June. 848 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 2: Right this year in June, I don't know anything about 849 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 2: any of these teams. 850 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,439 Speaker 1: I really don't, but I think that makes it better, right, 851 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: Like I am more likely to watch an Adrian Martinez 852 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: Kansas State game than a Skyler Thompson or Will Howard 853 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: obviously Kansas State game. All due respect to Will Howard 854 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: and his family, I'm sure they're nice people. But there 855 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 1: is the Big twelve might be the most novel. I mean, 856 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 1: the SEC has that argument. I mean the number of 857 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: the sheer number of new coaches at major places make 858 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 1: essentially the twenty twenty two season like crazy fun TV 859 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 1: in advance. But the number of new coaches storylines, you know, 860 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: Texas and he or two of Sark and Oklahoma with 861 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: Brent Vnables and Dylan Gaber, Like there's so much here 862 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 1: that like I'm going to go out of my way 863 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,720 Speaker 1: more often because of the changes within the Big Twelve. 864 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's as somebody not personally invested in 865 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 1: any of these teams. I know it's got to be 866 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: a pain if you're invested in these teams to have 867 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback shuffling and coach shuffling that's involved here. But like, yeah, 868 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm more likely to watch the twenty twenty two TCU 869 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: team than the twenty twenty one TCU team. I was 870 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: into it. 871 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 2: I was really into the Big Twelve schedule last year, 872 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 2: and I feel like this year probably has that same 873 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 2: level of potential. The only reason I say I would 874 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,240 Speaker 2: have been more excited a year ago again in June 875 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 2: looking forward at a schedule is because we thought we 876 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 2: knew so much more. I was all in an Oklahoma 877 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 2: year ago. If I had seen this schedule with last 878 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 2: year's Oklahoma team, with what I thought at the time, 879 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 2: I would have felt real good, real good about their 880 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,240 Speaker 2: chances not only winning the conference but going to the playoff. 881 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 2: Maybe not so much as the case with Texas, but 882 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 2: plenty of other teams here, even TCU a year ago, right, 883 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 2: TCU clearly fell short of expectations, made a coaching change. 884 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 2: But this is the type of schedule through the first 885 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 2: eight games of the season that lends itself to a 886 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 2: bowl team with flying colors. It would have been cool 887 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 2: to see that TCU team live up to its potential 888 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,399 Speaker 2: go to a bowl, And certainly if I had seen 889 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 2: a schedule like this, I would have been I would 890 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 2: have been a little bit more about aboard the TCU. 891 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 3: Bandwagon at that stage. 892 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 2: But it's going to be an interesting year in the 893 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 2: Big Twelve. Here is what the Big Twelve does not have. Okay, 894 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 2: Big twelve doesn't have a whole lot of sandwich games, 895 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 2: doesn't have a whole lot of big games off buys. 896 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 2: Iowa State playing well, there's not variety because they all 897 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 2: play each other. It's not variety exactly. Yeah, Iowa State 898 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 2: playing Oklahoma after a bye week is interesting. Oklahoma State 899 00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: going to Baylor after a bye week is interesting. Clearly 900 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 2: a revenge factor there. There's a West Virginia game against Baylor, 901 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 2: which I guess you could call out, but again, did 902 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 2: a pretty good job buffering the schedule out here, making 903 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 2: sure that teams aren't stacked unfairly with respect to the schedule. 904 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 2: That brings me to Texas Tech in Yeah. Now, look, 905 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 2: you and I are pretty much in the know when 906 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 2: it comes to all things college football. We read everybody, 907 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 2: We know most of the people do in the writing 908 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 2: and the podcasting. Yeah, I'm not going to say that 909 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 2: I am the first one to notice this point. I'm 910 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 2: sure someone else has. If they have, I haven't heard 911 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 2: them talk about it or read anything about it. Yeah, 912 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,839 Speaker 2: pre tip of the cap, pre tip of the gap. 913 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 2: Forgive me if somebody has seen this before me. I 914 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 2: am not trying to take credit for anything, but I 915 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 2: sort of am because I've never seen a schedule like 916 00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 2: Texas Tech's. Texas Tech is in arguably the most unique 917 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 2: scheduling position I've ever seen in our fifteen seasons It's 918 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 2: going to be fifteen seasons now doing this podcast, HM 919 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,760 Speaker 2: nine conference games. Texas Tech has eight of them. Eight 920 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 2: of those nine games are either in a letdown or 921 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 2: a look ahead spot for the team that they are playing. 922 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,800 Speaker 3: It is nuts. 923 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 2: I have never seen anything laid out quite like this. 924 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 2: Let me go through the only team, the only team 925 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 2: that they play where I don't think they're in any 926 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 2: kind of letdown or their opponents in any kind of 927 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 2: letdown or a look ahead spot is Texas because Texas 928 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 2: Tech gets Texas at home. M hm. But it's after 929 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: the Longhorns play UTSA and before they play West Virginia, 930 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 2: so okay, stakes there A little bit different, but totally. 931 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,439 Speaker 2: Texas Tech is at home against Oklahoma a week after 932 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 2: the Bedlam game. I think that qualifies as a letdown spot. 933 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 1: Yes, sure, definitely. 934 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 2: Texas Tech is on the road in Stillwater a week 935 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 2: after that huge revenge tilt for Oklahoma State against Baylor. Right, 936 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:16,240 Speaker 2: also a letdown spot. Texas Tech is at home against 937 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 2: Baylor a week before Baylor has to go to Oklahoma. 938 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 3: A little bit of a look. 939 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: Ahead spot, sure, for sure. 940 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: Texas Tech is in ames, Iowa a week after the 941 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State game. 942 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 3: A little bit of a letdown there. 943 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 2: Also a week before the TCU game. Yep, Texas Tech 944 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 2: has Kansas State in a spot where k State plays 945 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 2: Oklahoma the week before on the road in Iowa State the. 946 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 3: Week after on the road. 947 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, rivalry. 948 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 2: Texas Tech plays West Virginia the week after West Virginia 949 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 2: plays Baylor. They play TCU the week before TCU plays 950 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 2: Texas and they play Kansas. For whatever you care about Kansas, 951 00:51:58,920 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 2: do you think. 952 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: TCU is still worries about Texas. Is that still a 953 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: thing that keeps anybody up at night in Fort Worth? 954 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 2: And they probably shouldn't at this point. 955 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,800 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I mean, I mean it's a new coach, 956 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,839 Speaker 1: so we don't know how sunny Dykes will be. But yeah, 957 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean one of the. 958 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,359 Speaker 2: Bigger games on the schedule. Texas is more of a brand, right, 959 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 2: you've heard of them? Yeah, just been there, done that 960 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 2: for TCU. 961 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 962 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 2: To close things out, Texas Tech has Kansas the week 963 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 2: after Oklahoma State in the week before Texas a nice 964 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 2: little sandwich game that is. Yeah, I thine conference games Dan, 965 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 2: Kansas will just take what they can get. Kansas is 966 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 2: not in the position to be like, Okay, we've got 967 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 2: to make sure we focus a ton on this game 968 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 2: and then whatever happens next week, who cares. 969 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: But then there's one after that. No, Kansas is just scratching 970 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: and clawing. And I like where Kansas is at. That's wild. 971 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 1: And while you were talking about that, I was half 972 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: looking up the a list of venomous snakes. If Texas 973 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: Tech is the snake in the. 974 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 3: Toilet, are the snake? Yeah? 975 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 1: If the name, if the nickname wasn't already taken by 976 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:04,439 Speaker 1: a superior sports name, Mamba McGuire would be pretty good. 977 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: So the best I can do is cotton Mouth Kittley. 978 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: That's the best I can do on the spot. That's 979 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,880 Speaker 1: all I have. But or Cobra Kittley, Cobrick, I don't know. 980 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't have anything there. But yeah, I love that 981 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 1: that is the brand of and there's like an enthusiasm 982 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: to Joey McGuire. And by the way, by the way, yeah. 983 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 2: A little portal through into the ACC They've also got 984 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 2: a road game Week three at NC State. 985 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: That's right. I didn't even look up what. 986 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 2: The scenario looks like for NC State before or after 987 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 2: that game, But the point stands that Texas Tech is 988 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,280 Speaker 2: a team being rebuilt with the super enthusiastic Joey McGuire. 989 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 2: He's from the state of Texas. He's trying to recruit 990 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 2: the hell out of the state of Texas. Probably gonna 991 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 2: have a fun offense, trying to rebuild the defense. There 992 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 2: is a lot of enthusiasm there. And I'm telling you 993 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 2: there are several upsets on this schedule for the Texas 994 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 2: Tech Red Raiders, if only because of the situations that 995 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 2: other teams will be in when they got to square 996 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 2: off against Joey McGuire. It's fascinating to me. I've never 997 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 2: seen a schedule that has that much situational advantage. And look, 998 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 2: we may not have numbers to back any of this 999 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 2: stuff up right, all right? The letdown and look ahead 1000 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 2: thing may only be a creation that we use here 1001 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 2: on the podcast for entertainment purposes. 1002 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: Of course. 1003 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 2: But eighteen to twenty two year old kids, super enthusiastic 1004 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 2: coach trying to build something a new and Lubbock and 1005 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 2: all of these opponents are either going to be looking 1006 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 2: forward or looking back in most of these situations. I 1007 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 2: am thrilled to see where Texas Tech ends up if 1008 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 2: Texas Tech goes on a weird run and wins like 1009 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 2: six seven eight games this year. This is why, this 1010 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 2: is why good coaching and players have a little bit 1011 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 2: to do with it. 1012 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,240 Speaker 1: Of course, I've moved on from looking at venomous snakes 1013 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: to looking at the deadly viper assassination squad from the 1014 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: movie Kill Bill. Sure, if we are positioning Texas Tech 1015 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: as the Beatrix kiddo of the Big twelve making her 1016 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: way through I have I don't know we're not going 1017 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 1: to associate teams with the various members, but I do 1018 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: like that they all have the snake nicknames. And I 1019 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: don't know if there has been at a random line 1020 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: from a movie that I have loved yelling out in 1021 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 1: the way that the main character yells it out as 1022 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: I have when Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo yells out, 1023 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: oh Renny she and I want Joey Maguire already she 1024 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: after beating like sunny Dick. We can we pull that sound, 1025 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 1: we can pull this sound. But yeah, there is that. 1026 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 1: There's there's a kill billishness to the Texas Tech twenty 1027 00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 1: twenty two autumn, and I love it. 1028 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 2: Should be a very fast big twelve season. Yeah to 1029 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,439 Speaker 2: say the absolute very least. Won't go through too much 1030 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 2: more of this schedule.
