We've got a ton of questions. 32 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I want to get to as many of them as possible, 33 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: as I tell you before, I don't write this, you 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: guys write it. That's the beauty slash horror sometimes of 35 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: this podcast. It is all you. So these are your questions. 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: Let's go Emmett starts up. He said, my buddies and 37 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: I were talking while watching a game last night, and 38 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: someone said, imagine how much better Georgia would be in 39 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: this game against Alabama would be if they had Justin Fields. No, 40 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: obviously it's a fantasy world. We can never know. But 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: what would these past two years have looked like? What 42 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: would have changed if Justin Fields would have stayed at 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: Georgia in your opinion. So let's reset this because I 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: think sometimes the habit people have is use the hear 45 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: and now to judge a decision. So the here and 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: now is justin Fields. Obviously, for those unfamiliar, have has 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: gone on to be a great quarterback at Ohio State. 48 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: He's a Heisman front runner this year, gonna end up 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: being a top ten probably NFL draft pick, and so 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: he's a superstar. He didn't commit to Ohio State. He 51 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: committed to Georgia. He's from Georgia, and so originally looked 52 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: like it was going to be Fields at Georgia, and 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Georgia had their star quarterback of 54 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: the future. He ends up not beating out Jake from 55 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: in the eyes of that coaching staff, and that coaching 56 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: staff being led by Kirby Smart, and so he transfers. Okay, 57 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: now we see how that turned out. What I always 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: caution people to think about at the time is you 59 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: didn't know what you know now, so you're never armed 60 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: with hindsight when you make a decision. If you're firing someone, 61 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: for instance, or if you're breaking up with a girl 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: and she's going to go on to be miss America. 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: But you know at the time she's a train wreck. 64 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: You have no way of knowing she's gonna go on 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: to be Miss America. Like you broke up with other 66 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: because she was a train wreck. That's all the information 67 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: you had to go on. I'm not telling you Justin 68 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Fields was a train wreck. I am telling you he's 69 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: going on to be Miss America. But what I'm saying 70 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: is you don't know at the time what Kirby Smart 71 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: and that staff knew. I can assure you of this. 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: Smart's been around the game a long time. I can 73 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: assure you if he thought in his heart Justin Fields 74 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: gives this team the best chance to win, He's putting 75 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: Justin Fields in the game because he wants the best 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: chance to win. People don't do experiments with their careers. 77 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Here like they're playing the guy they think gives them 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: the best chance. We can argue until we're blue in 79 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: the face. We may never really know why he didn't 80 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: make this move and what went into it, but the 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: bottom line is he didn't. Okay, Now, having said that, 82 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: here's the second part of this equation. You ask what 83 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: would have happened if Fields stays at Georgia. You also 84 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: can't make the assumption that Fields would have become at 85 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Georgia what he has become at Ohio State. Ohio State 86 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: has been pumping out courts. That has been sort of 87 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: this new cradle of quarterbacks. They got so many good 88 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: ones up there they can't play them all. Some guys 89 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: transfer from there and go win Heisman's I e. Joe Burrow. 90 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: So that's how good they've been at evaluating talent, developing talent, 91 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and then playing it right and surrounding it with other talent. 92 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: That's Ohio State. That has not been Georgia. George has 93 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: been good at a lot of things. Developing star quarterbacks 94 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: in house lately has not been one of those things. 95 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know that Justin Fields would have been 96 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: at Georgia what he ended up being. Maybe he would have. 97 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: He certainly would have had the talent no matter where 98 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: he went, But I don't know that he would have 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: been developed there. But be that as it may. As 100 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: we stand here now, this question is so glaring only 101 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: because Georgia hasn't gotten quarterback figured out. If, for instance, 102 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: Jamie Newman would have stayed and been a star, nobody 103 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: would have been talking about Justin fields right now. Even 104 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: if J. T. Daniels would have come in healthy and 105 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: would have taken the job by the throat and they 106 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: beat Alabama forty one to twenty four Saturday instead of 107 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the other way around, No want to be talking about it. 108 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: This is still a matter because Georgia hasn't figured out 109 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: quarterback yet, and that's why a lot of people's eyes 110 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: now turned to JT. Daniels. Is he going to be healthy? 111 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: When's he going to be healthy? If not him, there's 112 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: a big ups truck goes by outside. If not him, 113 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: then well brought Vandergrive. That's our five star quarterback committed. 114 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: He's the guy in the future. How soon is he 115 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: going to be ready when he gets on campus? These 116 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: are always fun questions, aren't they. But I don't really 117 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: know that there is an answer to the fields question. 118 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: I've heard it a million times. I know we talk 119 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: about it a lot. I just don't know that there 120 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: is an answer. I got one more on the Georgia 121 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: Bama game. It was obviously a big one this past week. 122 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Adam says, I was watching the game. I think Georgia's 123 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: offense was the main reason their defense was so bad. 124 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: Alabama had twenty one points off turnovers. Georgia had almost 125 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: no time of possession in the second half. Do you 126 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 1: think Georgia could have won the game if their offense 127 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: stayed clean, Well, yeah, of course I do. But I 128 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: mean there's a lot that goes into how Alabama forced 129 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: the issue there. Let's make no mistake about it. Our 130 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: entire take on Georgia are got a red. I'm gonna 131 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: tell you why I say wee in a second. My 132 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: entire take, in our entire take on Georgia this entire time, 133 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: and stats in Bennett for that matter, has been he's 134 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: cool man. You can ride him against Auburn, you can 135 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: write them against Tennessee, because the whole point is you're 136 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: not riding him. You're riding a run game, and you're 137 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: riding that defense. And we've talked on lay Cack live 138 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: at nauseum at this point. But the freeze point, the 139 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: freeze point simply being a threshold that as long as 140 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: your opposition stays above you don't have to worry. But 141 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: once they get below that freeze point, in other words, 142 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: once they're good enough to expose you, then things quickly 143 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: go downhill. And George's defense the fact of the matter is, 144 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: there are not a lot of offenses in America capable 145 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: of hitting the freeze point. I always make it metaphorically 146 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: comparative to two cups of water. I got a cup 147 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: of water in thirty eight degree temperatures and I got 148 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: a couple of water in thirty three degree temperatures. That matter, 149 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: they're both gonna stay liquid. Neither one of them is 150 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna freeze. But if I got one in thirty three 151 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: and another one in thirty one, even though the GAP's 152 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: much small between those two relative to the previous comparison, 153 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the one in the thirty one 154 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: degree conditions is going to freeze. It's gonna take a while, 155 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: but it's gonna freeze. The one in thirty three remains liquid. 156 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: Why because we crossed the freeze point, which is thirty 157 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: two little above thirty two fahrenheit. Well, the point is 158 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: Georgia hadn't faced anyone below thirty two degrees. Yet they 159 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: hadn't faced anyone below that freeze point. Alabama, not only 160 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: were they below the freeze point, they're down in like 161 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: the upper teens low twenties. So not only are they 162 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: capable of freezing, or running the score up on you 163 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: as it were. They're capable of doing it quick. If 164 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: that's the case, you can still beat them. The problem 165 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: is you got to be able to do that too, 166 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: and Georgia's offense does not meet that. They don't meet it, 167 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: and they won't with Bennett quarterback. That's where so many 168 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: people who are up in arms there right now because 169 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: they're worried they're gonna waste this defense by not having 170 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: a competent enough offense. Like I say enough, because I 171 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: gotta be careful. George is good enough to win eight 172 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: or nine games maybe on the regular season schedule. That's 173 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: not what the goal is there. The goal is to 174 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: beat Bama. It's to win the SEC. It's to go 175 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: win a national championship. To do that, you got to 176 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: clear that Bama hurdle, that Clemson hurdle at Ohio State hurdle, 177 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: maybe all in the same year, guys. So that is 178 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: why they are so up in arms there. So yeah, sure, 179 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: if they would have had their offensive you know what together, Yes, 180 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: sure they would have been able to win. How do 181 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: they do that realistically? How do they do that with 182 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: the personnel they have right now? I don't think they do. 183 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: Next up is Noah. It was a really sneaky good 184 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: week in the SEC. So I'm going to read Noah's 185 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: question in just a second now before I forget. I've 186 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: kicked the can down the road twice already in this podcast. 187 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: So a lot of you have noticed this. A lot 188 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: of you keep asking me, Hey, how come you keep 189 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: saying Weed, you don't have a co host. That's true, 190 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: that's true, but there are several people who work behind 191 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: the scenes here. For instance, on Lake Kick Live, we 192 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: just lay out our operation for you. Take like thirty seconds. 193 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: Our operation is when we do a Sunday night or 194 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: Tuesday night or Thursday night show, it is me. I'm 195 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: the executive producer of that. I put the entire thing together, 196 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: I host it. But Colin is behind the scenes. Director. 197 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: Colin is behind the scenes and he's assembling all the elements. Obviously, 198 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: he directs the show or calls the show, punches the show, 199 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: as we like to say live. Well, then that entire product, 200 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: in an audio form gets handed off to either Jordan 201 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: or Tony in fileshare, and we go to sleep, and 202 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: they go to work and they get the podcast version 203 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: ready for you the next morning. And I say we 204 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: because I could sit here and talk into this microphone 205 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: all day long. If they're not there, you wouldn't know 206 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: who I am. And so it is a we sort 207 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: of deal. I look at this as a collective, as 208 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: a team, because they trust me, make me sound a 209 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: lot better than I sound, make me look a lot 210 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: better than I look. And it's a chore if you've 211 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: ever been around me, I mean, that's a chore. So listen. 212 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know how much they're making. I just 213 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: know they need a raise. That's all I know. I 214 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: would advocate for them to get a raise no matter what. 215 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: And me too. Let's move on. Let's move on, shall we. 216 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: I would do this pro bono. So we got a 217 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: third question here, As I said from Noah, he said, 218 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: now that South Carolina has played four games, how would 219 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: you evaluate Mike Bobo and Colin Hill and Kevin Harris. 220 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Let's go in reverse order here. Kevin Harris is a 221 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: running back that did some good for him against Auburn. 222 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: He's a guy who has really surprising ability after contact. 223 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: I think his yards after contact rate probably has surprised 224 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: them a little bit, probably surprised Carolina fans. So he 225 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: was a pleasant surprise has been rather because they lost 226 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Marshaun Lloyd, who they thought, outside of maybe Jordan Birch, 227 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: was going to be their biggest freshman impact player, and 228 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: he's out well. Kevin Harris has stepped in and given 229 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: him some quality carries. Colin Hill's the quarterback that came 230 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: in via the transfer route who played with Mike Bobo 231 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: at Colorado State. Obviously, listen, Mike Bobo knows what their 232 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: limitations are there. They have a bad wide receiver group. 233 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: They're just not bad people. They're just below par. I mean, 234 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: they're well below average by SEC standards. They don't have 235 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: game breakers, they don't have top poppers, they don't have 236 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: whatever axioms you want to use to describe an elite 237 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver unit. They lack it. So here's what they 238 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: do have. They got the ability to do what they 239 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: did against Auburn. I call it the spiderweb theory. What 240 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: you have to do is you have to build the web. 241 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: Kentucky is phenomenal at this. Kentucky did this against Tennessee 242 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: for that matter. You got to build the spider web. 243 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: Now you're not good enough to go roster for roster 244 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: with these teams, but you're good enough to be on 245 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: the field with them. And what you do is you 246 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: build the web and then you let them walk into it. 247 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: Think about walking around somewhere at night when you walk 248 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: into a spider web. What do you do? Just pull 249 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: it off of you? Of course not, it stays on 250 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: you. You got to pick it out of your hair for 251 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: ten minutes. That is what Carolina did to Auburn Saturday. 252 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: They kept paper cutting, paper cutting, paper cutting in the 253 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: run game. They were bullheaded, they were stubborn. They kept 254 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: doing it, and they understood, just like Kentucky did. They understood, 255 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: whether it's Bo Nicks at Auburn or whether it's Jared 256 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Garantano at Tennessee. We just build the spider web, and 257 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: you watch them. They'll walk right into it. They'll turn 258 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: the ball over, they'll give us the ball. Well, sure enough, 259 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: Jared Guarantano did that, and sure enough Bo Nicks did that, 260 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: and Carolina scored and Kentucky scored off those turnovers and 261 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: set up great field position. And so you had two 262 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: spider web theories and play in the SEC Saturday and 263 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: Mike Bobo for example. Now more and more of you 264 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: every week goes by. They're limited personnel wise, but you 265 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: start to see maybe that I word in Columbia. Dare 266 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: I say it? It's been a while the identity of 267 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: the South Carolina offense. They're using a fallback up there. 268 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: By the way, how about that fullbacks in play? So 269 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: you've got spiderwebs and fullbacks. Happy Halloween. We're approaching it, 270 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: and we may be approaching Carolina salvaging their season which 271 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: was very much on the rocks just one short week 272 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: ago when they went into Vanderbilt and what I thought 273 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: was must win mode. Well, hey, when you're in a 274 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: must win situation and you win, you buy yourself some time. 275 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: And the more time you buy yourself, you never know 276 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: what could happen. All right, Next up here PSU for Life. 277 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: In the podcast review section, leave us one of those, 278 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: by the way, and you can ask a question as 279 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: part of your written review and I'll answer it like 280 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: I'm about to do here. What is your favorite non 281 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: sports podcast? I love What All. Conrad Thompson does a 282 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: lot of pro wrestling stuff. I can't stand the current 283 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: pro wrestling product. I've talked about that many times. I 284 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: would much rather watch Grass Grow than watch What is 285 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: called pro wrestling these days. However, I loved it back 286 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: when I was a little bit younger, and age has 287 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. If there was a quality 288 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: product on today, i'd watch it gladly and wouldn't apologize 289 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: for it. There isn't, so I'm forced pulling out old 290 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: VHS's or using my buddies login information to log into 291 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: WWE network, and that's what I do. But it is 292 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: a very genius and simple format that they figured out, 293 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: whether it's the Bruce Pritchard one or the Jim Ross one, 294 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: or even the Tony Shavanni one Eric Bischoff, and these 295 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: are great to listen to when you're on car rides. 296 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: By the way, all it is is you pick a 297 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: topic from back in the day and you cover it 298 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: for three hours and you dissect it from every angle. 299 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a year in time, maybe it's an event. 300 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it is a person that you talk about and 301 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: you do kind of an expos on them. I love 302 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: listening to that. I've spent embarrassed amounts of time listening 303 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: to the various podcasts that those guys do, so they 304 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: do a really good job there. I think Jordan actually 305 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: on our podcast side. I think he does some work 306 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: with them. So there you go, six degrees of or 307 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: one degree of in that case. Next up is a 308 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: lot of you ask this, so I'll just anyone who 309 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: asked a Big ten question, let's kind of summarize it 310 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: like this because we're going to do a lot more 311 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Big ten stuff this week on the YouTube channel twenty 312 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: four to seven Sports YouTube. By the way, subscribe to it. 313 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: It's the hottest thing out there right now. Hot now. 314 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: As you know, as you've looked at the calendar, it 315 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: is now Big ten football season. Finally, Oh the old 316 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: mid October Big ten season openers. Yeah, we got them, 317 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: and we got questions about the Big ten, and I'm 318 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: going to roll them all into a ball and I'm 319 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: going to go a bunch of different directions with ease, 320 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: and we'll do that right after the break. You guys 321 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: asked about the Big ten. So let me word this carefully. 322 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: This is Ohio State's world. I don't think many people 323 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: disagree with that. So let's say things play out as 324 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: it appears they will. Let's say Ohio State is everything 325 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: we think they are. They almost belong in a separate conversation. 326 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: But what I think we need to avoid doing, is 327 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: avoid in trapping ourselves into this notion that all that 328 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: matters is who wins the conference, or all that matters 329 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: is who's power rated number one, who's got a shot 330 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: at the playoff, and that's it. And that goes into 331 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: another question I'm about to be asked in a second 332 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: about the playoff itself, but as it relates to the 333 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: Big Ten. We were talking about this in one of 334 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: our editorial meetings a couple of days ago. We were 335 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: since its election season, we use the term down balloting. Well, 336 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: how about college football down balloting? A lot of folks 337 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: I am very guilty of this, So I include myself 338 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: in some folks, A lot of folks, or some folks 339 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: get themselves into the trap of thinking, well, if it's 340 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: not relevant to the playoff, it's not relevant, and that's 341 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: a poison for college football. Like I said, I'm guilty 342 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: of that. So this is something I've been very cognizant 343 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: of lately. What about the down ballot situation? What about 344 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: the race for even who finishes second, who's the second 345 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: best team there? But also some rivalry aspect and some 346 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: program building aspects more matters in college football than just 347 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: who makes the playoff. And I think that there has 348 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: to be a concerted effort. I know I'm going to 349 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: be a part of it. There's got to be a 350 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: concerted effort to reinvigorate the down balloting aspects of this sport, 351 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: because it matters, you know, it matters. Who did we 352 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: think was only going to win six games in a 353 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: normal year that now has a chance to win eight. 354 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: Who could be playing in a New Year's Dable that 355 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: we thought, you know, was going to be in a 356 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: weed Whacker Bowl somewhere before Christmas. You know, all of 357 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: this stuff really matters. And as great as the playoff 358 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: has been, and now I'm going to merge these questions. 359 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: As great as the playoff has been, I think it 360 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: sort of poisoned the well a little bit of the 361 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: beauty of college football. And I was talking to a 362 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: buddy who does some work in this industry too last year, 363 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: and he and I disagreed on something, and on the surface, 364 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: I still disagree with him, but there is a lot 365 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: of merit to the argument he was making. The argument 366 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: he was making as I was arguing for the playoff, 367 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: and he was arguing about how he wishes the playoff 368 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: would just disappear and we'd go back to the old way, 369 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: even the PREBCS way, which I thought sounded crazy, but 370 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: that's cause I'm in my thirties and he's a little 371 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: bit older, and so he lived more in that era 372 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: than I did. His point was, what's the playoff done? 373 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: And I said, well, it's crowned true national champions And 374 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: you know you can argue that too, because some of 375 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: you think in order to have a true national champion 376 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: you have to have automatic qualifiers, some conference titles and whatever. 377 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: The point is, there is a game called the National 378 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: Championship Game that we have now. You didn't used to 379 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: have that. He said, okay, so I'll grant you that 380 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: I watched the game just like you do. Yeah, national title. 381 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: It's great to have. What does it come at the 382 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: expense of? So I kind of knew where he was going, 383 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: but I said, what do you mean? He said, you know, 384 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: it used to mean everything when you knew at the 385 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: end of the year a rivalry game was coming up, 386 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: Rivalry Saturday was coming up, and maybe it was a 387 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: six and four versus an eight and two or something 388 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: like that, but you knew that date and of itself, 389 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: that game records don't even matter. It's this thing. This 390 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: game has been played eighty years and it's so beautiful 391 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: and so unique to college football. The race to win 392 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: a conference championship is a beautiful thing. The race to 393 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: finish top three in your division or top two. You know, 394 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: if you're historically a bottom feeder, that's a beautiful thing. 395 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: How much does that matter? How may? He asked me, 396 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: because I host a show, obviously, he said, how much 397 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: are you talking about that in November? And my answer 398 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 1: was not a lot, not a whole lot. The bad, 399 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: bad habit that I've developed, and I think some others 400 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: have developed, and there's a reason for it, but we've 401 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: developed is you have this elimination process in your mind 402 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: and it all ties into the playoff. And once you 403 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: lose one game early in the year, okay, we knock 404 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: you down to the bottom of a totem pole. If 405 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: you're a P five, if you're a G five, you're 406 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: just gone. But if you're a P five, you kind 407 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: of go to the back of the line and you're told, hey, 408 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: you lose one more game, you're out of here. And 409 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: think about how much the sport you're cutting off from 410 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: being relevant come November, when you have to have zero 411 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: losses or one loss to be in the conversation. Well, 412 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: that's in a way what's happened here, and it's not 413 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: always the best thing. So I started talking about the 414 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Big Ten like five or ten minutes ago. My point is, 415 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: as we tie it back around to the Big Ten, 416 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: I think it really matters what PJ. Fleck can do 417 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: at Minnesota this year. And they start with Michigan like 418 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: a game, What an intriguing game that is in Week one. 419 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: You're probably not predicting either of those teams to go 420 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: to the playoff. I'm not who cares. It's gonna be 421 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: a great game. I'm gonna watch all four quarters of it. 422 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna be phenomenal. We'll talk about it later this week. 423 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what about to tie into Wisconsin. What about 424 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: the situation there with Graham Mertz? You get to see 425 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: what he is at quarterback. A lot of people have 426 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: thought Jack Cohne, all, we got our ceiling there, so 427 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: let's see Graham Mertz. Well, because of injury, unfortunately, you 428 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: do get your wish who could come out of nowhere? Man? 429 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: Like what could Illinois do or Northwestern do this year 430 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: that surprises you. Indiana always a little rumble, always a 431 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: little whisper around Indiana, be a little bit more than 432 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: we think they'll be. And what about Penn State. You've 433 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: got Week two against Ohio State and that'll be on 434 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: the marquee for Big Ten slash Playoff related implications and reasons. 435 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: But outside of that, Penn State, you know, I've talked 436 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: about this a lot. I kind of tie them in 437 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: with Notre Dame as being programs that are very solid programs, 438 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: that are top ten, top fifteen, easily top fifteen, and 439 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: they're waiting on that spark, and that spark's probably quarterback. 440 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: But at Notre Dame, you know, they are who they 441 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: are this year, and we've already seen them play a 442 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: number of games. Scored fifteen against Louisville the other day 443 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: at somehow or twelve I think it was, so who 444 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: knows there, But there is a lot of unknown with 445 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: Penn State's offense. There is a lot of unknown with 446 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: Kirk's Roka, who has come in as a new offensive coordinator, 447 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: and they've had more time up there. Remember, you know 448 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: they were gonna start same time as everyone else, but 449 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: they didn't have spring like everyone else. So we initially 450 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: were going to look at them and say, well, it's 451 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: unreasonable to expect them to have their act together. Well, 452 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: then things got delayed, and so you start adding weeks 453 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: onto the beginning between when you arrived and when you 454 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: got your new offensive staff in versus when you kick 455 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: things off. So who's to say that maybe a little 456 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: bit more of that offense isn't ingrained into the minds 457 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: of your players. Now the amount of repetition you've gotten 458 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: that hasn't changed a whole lot. But could they be 459 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: a little bit further along as my question, could they 460 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: have an offense there that's ready to scare some people 461 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: and screams at you. Hey, if we get an elite 462 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: quarterback married with this system, watch out for Penn State. 463 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: So many things melt Tucker's coming into Michigan State. I 464 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: have no clue what to expect there. Talked about Michigan, 465 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: talked about Minnesota. I mean, Jim Harbaugh, I made a lot, 466 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, last week when the Team 467 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: Talent composite came out and I was reading Barton's rite 468 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: up on it, and he said, you know, the team 469 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: Talent composite if you're unfamiliar, is just the overall measure 470 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: of talent on a roster by using your roster and 471 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: then talking about what guys were rated out of high school. 472 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: It's an imperfect system, but it's as close to accurate 473 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: as we can probably get without having an army of 474 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: scouts to just go scout every single player every day. 475 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: So he said, you know, Michigan, when we started this 476 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: thing back in twenty fifteen, they were number seven. They 477 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: had the number seven roster in America. Now five years 478 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: later or six years later, they have the number seventeen roster. 479 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: That's a little troubling. If it were to drop to seven, 480 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: from seven to nine or seven to twelve, that's a 481 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: little bit different. But seven to seventeen when you've had 482 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: the same staff there, the same head coach there the 483 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: whole time, well that's not a good thing. So yeah, 484 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot I'm looking forward to in the Big 485 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: twelve and the Big ten rather and we're going to 486 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: talk about this a lot more later this week, so 487 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: stay tuned on that. You probably didn't think that I 488 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: was going to answer this, sir, when you put this 489 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: in the podcast review, but you gave me a five 490 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: star review. As you asked the question, so I'm answering 491 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: the question. He said, Man, you got me thinking about 492 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: shaving my head bald. It looks like it's really comfortable. 493 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: When did you start losing your hair and when did 494 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: you shave your head? I believe it or not, I've 495 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: just kind of always had this ever since, like middle 496 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: school or high school. Like like the hairline for example, 497 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I have right now. She's kind of always been that way. 498 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: So it's not really a it's not really a deteriorating situation, 499 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: shall we say, but independent of that, and let me 500 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: stress this for those in the back, I don't care 501 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: if I could have Brad Pitt's hair. I am cheap. 502 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: I wear the same shirt to work out every day. 503 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: I wear the same sweatpants to work out every day. 504 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: You guys don't know it, but when we're doing Late 505 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: Kick Live, I've come straight from the gym and I'm 506 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: wearing those sweatpants below the desk, and for that matter, 507 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: I throw on the same two or three white shirts. 508 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: So my point is I shave my head out of 509 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: convenience more so than anything. It wouldn't matter what kind 510 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: of hair I had it wouldn't matter how follically challenged 511 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: I was or I wasn't. Do you understand if you 512 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: guys haven't lived this lifestyle, let me walk you through it. 513 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: You spend zero dollars and zero cents a year on 514 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: hair product. You spend zero dollars and zero sense a 515 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: year other than you know, upgrading your razor. On hair care. 516 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: You can use conditioner if you want to. You don't 517 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: have to use shampoo only because if you don't, that 518 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: makes you a degenerate. So use shampoo. But otherwise it's free. 519 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: You cut your own hair in your mirror and bathroom 520 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: once a week. It takes like five minutes if you 521 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: want to be really careful. And when you get out 522 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: of the shower, here's the drying off process. Hand through 523 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: hair once and boom you're dry. Zero maintenance, zero upkeep. 524 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: It is great now. Of course, the logical follow up 525 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: question is when do you take the final final step, 526 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: which is the stone cold Steve Austin, Scott ben Pelt look, 527 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,239 Speaker 1: and I don't know, only because I'm scared of what 528 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: the shape of my head could be. See, I still 529 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: have enough fuzz on my head to where you see hair. 530 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: But you don't see all scalp. But if I were 531 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: to bick it, just razor shave it completely, then I 532 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: never know. I think. I think I have a weird 533 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: lump in the back of my head. I'm touching my 534 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: head right now. It's a really good thing. No one 535 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: can see me, but I don't know. So we'll see 536 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: to be continued there to be continued. But I just 537 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: wanted to to say I don't care what anyone else thinks. 538 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: That's my point. I know a lot of people think 539 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: it's cool to say, Oh, I don't care what people 540 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: think about my appearance. Nah, look at me. I really 541 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: don't check out how I dress. I really really don't. 542 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: I am the definition of what we like to call 543 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: in the business a ragamuffin. Six or seven of you 544 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: asked Gus Malazon hot seat questions. So let me address 545 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: this again. I don't think Malason's being fired. I have 546 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: to think I've said this four years in a row. 547 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: Now I don't think he's being fired. Well, after twenty seventeen, 548 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: I didn't because he had just got his contract extension. 549 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: But this is like a every other year topic with Auburn. 550 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: The buyout is huge, and I also want to take 551 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: you back to just two months ago when we were 552 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: in the height of the college football pandemic portion of things, 553 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: which is where we didn't know if we were going 554 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: to play or not. And then when we finally found 555 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: out we were going to play, what did everyone say? 556 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: You guys remember this, You were saying it right along 557 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: with everyone else. Probably, he said, well, certainly, even if 558 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: we have a season, say it along with me. No 559 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: one is going to get fired. Everyone's safe. And I 560 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: told you at the time. You can say that all 561 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: you want to, but it's not gonna matter when the 562 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: season starts, because you're going to realize everyone is dealing, 563 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: relatively speaking, with the same set of obstacles. Therefore, if 564 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: your program, if your coach is not viewed as being 565 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: disproportionately negatively impacted, there's not going to be an excuse 566 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: built in COVID or not. Well, here we are, Malson 567 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: could be zero to four right now. They're very lucky 568 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: to be two and two. But there is no disproportionate 569 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: victimhood at Auburn relative to what Alabama's dealt with, or 570 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: South Carolina or Kentucky or anyone else. Everyone dealt with 571 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: the same deck of cards, and so if you're struggling 572 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: disproportionate to your competition, it's your fault. It's not COVID's fault. 573 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: And this is not me talking, that's just general sentiment, 574 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: which I agree with. But I told you, I told you. 575 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: I told you. I don't get to say that a lot, 576 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: so I love when I can say it. I told you, 577 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: it's not going to matter, is it. I've done a 578 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: lot of talking with Auburn folks this past couple of weeks, 579 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: and really this week in particular, I've read a lot 580 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: of Auburn boards and a lot of writing, and let 581 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: me tell you what I have not heard one person say. Well, guys, 582 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: let's tamp down the criticism. Let's remember what we were 583 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: saying two months ago. No one cares, No one cares. 584 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: So we thought that something was going to come along 585 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: obviously it happens every year, and that some program was 586 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: going to underachieve. And so Auburn's one of them. I 587 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: don't think they're done losing. Auburn's one of them. But 588 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: let me tell you, I do not believe, as we 589 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: sit here again today is what October twentieth, as you're 590 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: listening to it. I don't believe we're in a situation 591 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: where Gus Malzon's about to be fired. I don't believe 592 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: that that could be wrong. Have been wrong before, usually 593 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: spot on when we're talking about Auburn, though. I don't 594 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: believe he's going anywhere. You can like that or not. 595 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe he's going anywhere. Oh, here's a good one. 596 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: I think we can wrap on this morning. Andrew asked 597 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: a question that everyone has an answer to, so you'll 598 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: have an answer to it as well. I'm going to 599 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: ask the question and I'm going to leave like a 600 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: three second gap. Okay, just dead air, which they teach 601 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: you never to do in broadcasting school. I'm going to 602 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: do it this morning because I didn't take popodcasting school. 603 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: So wild West Here, Andrew asks a question. I'm going 604 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: to leave you a few seconds to come up with 605 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: your answer. I'll tell you my answer. He said. I'm 606 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: only a recent lover of college football, so can you 607 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: explain to me why Urban Meyer left Florida for Ohio State. 608 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: I know that during that time the saban era at 609 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: Alabama had begun, therefore stiff opposition to the college football playoff, 610 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: But to me, It's like an alpha head coach such 611 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: as Urban wouldn't run. He would welcome competition, wouldn't he 612 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: What went into him leaving three two one not quite 613 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: dead Air Andrew depends on who you ask, man. I've 614 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: got my theories, but let me tell you what the 615 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: official diagnosis was. Urban had health issues. He had to 616 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: take time away from the sport. That was the reason given. 617 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: I am not a doctor. I did not see his medicals. 618 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: I cannot confirm nor deny. All I know is he 619 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: was immediately on TV and then shortly thereafter took the 620 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: job at Ohio State. What I believe was a far 621 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: greater contributing factor is I think he built Florida's foundation 622 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: on sand. To use a biblical metaphor, I don't think 623 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: it was sustainable. I think a lot of corners were 624 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: cut in order to gain instant success, and they got 625 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: it down there. They got it. It started with well 626 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: him being hired, and then shortly thereafter they won a 627 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: big recruiting battle, one of the biggest in modern history. 628 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: It was Tim Tebow. He came down to Florida and Bama. 629 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: He committed to Florida. Rest his history for both of 630 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: those programs. As it turns out, they both love the 631 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: direction their programs went after that. So Urban won a 632 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: couple of national titles and they were instant contenders, built 633 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: an incredible roster talent wise, the inner wiring left a 634 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: little to be desired. You can look at what happened 635 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: to those guys there and what's happened since then, and 636 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: so it wasn't exactly the most high character group of individuals. 637 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: But they won, and that's what he was hired to do, 638 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: and they won. But because some corners were cut in 639 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: that department, I don't think it was sustainable and you 640 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,959 Speaker 1: saw the end result. So he walked away and then 641 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: he came back and took the Ohio State job. I 642 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: think he implemented a lot of lessons and new principles 643 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: based on lessons that he learned at Florida, and they 644 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: were better for it at Ohio State. In the meantime, 645 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: Nick Saban had walked into that conference, like you mentioned 646 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. In eight he and Alabama 647 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: faced Florida in the SEC title game. Florida won that 648 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: thing thirty one to twenty. Alabama led at the end 649 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: of three tebow let it come back they won. The 650 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: next year, Alabama dominated Florida. They had a rematch in 651 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: the SEC title game. That date is where it started 652 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: to go downhill. I've heard him talk about that team. 653 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: I've heard him talk about the inner dynamics and how 654 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: it just wasn't there The next year. He's not the 655 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: only one who's ever dealt with that. Twenty ten, he 656 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: took that team to Alabama. They got dominated again. Shortly thereafter, 657 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: he was out of the league. So if it looks 658 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: like Saban chased him off, I don't think that's unfair 659 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: to say. I certainly believe there was a lot more 660 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: to it, don't get me wrong. But when people say 661 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: Saban chased urban Meyer off, what I take that to me, 662 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: whether they mean it this way or not, is had 663 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: Saban not walked in the door, urban would have lasted 664 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: a lot longer at Florida. I don't disagree with that. 665 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: So what does that mean today? Because Urban Meyer is 666 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: still a topic of conversation in say Austin, Texas today, 667 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, I think there is interest there. 668 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I don't have inside information, don't 669 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: think I do, but I think there's interest there. So 670 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: I was doing a podcast earlier, someone asked me, Hey, 671 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: what do you think what are the odds with Urban? 672 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: They thought I was gonna say nil, and I had 673 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: to say, it's a non zero chance. Say that in 674 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: the meteorological community all the time. It's a non zero chance. 675 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 1: In fact, I think it's much better than a one 676 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: percent chance. I think it's there. You've got a head 677 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: coach there right now, in Tom Herman. But if they 678 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: let me tell you something, if they let Tom Herman go, 679 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: they know something. They've already been indicated or been give 680 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: an indication that they can get something done, whether it 681 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: be with Urban or whether they've ended up using him 682 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: as a smoke screen to hide who they're really going after. 683 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: I think there is a chance there. So good Urban 684 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: Meyers stories. There are a good Urban Meyer question. And 685 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: then listen. If you ask one person, they'll give you 686 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: a different story than the next guy will, than the 687 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: next guy will, and the next guy will. But that's 688 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: a good start in the morning, really good. Hope that 689 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: supplemented your coffee and your caffeine. I drank a lot 690 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: as I recorded this, and so that hopefully it provides 691 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: you with enough energy and you don't have to I 692 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: am Josh Pate.
