• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Oh, we got a lot to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: talk about today. Because Greg Sanki, SEC Commissioner, he's saying.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: The quiet part out loud.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: He said the messy future of college football. Nah, I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: gonna explain to you what he really means between that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read between the lines about what he means
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: by MESSI it means we're losing control. Marcus Freeman, head
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: coach at Notre Dame. He got to talking about his team.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: JD Picquel asked him about the past and why they
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: did not go to the bowl game, and I loved
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: his accountability answer.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna show you why.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Recruits love playing for him, parents love playing form, why
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they don't get de commits, and what's going right at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Dan Lanny over there at Oregon he talks
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: about the NIL because remember there's a lot of people
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: accusing Oregon of all sorts of things. Oh, they're buying
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all these players and all this, but when it comes
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to the forty million dollar rosters, they're never mentioned. So
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: he's talking about NIL and the broken system and what
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: should be done to fix it. So either he's a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: hypocrite or he's trying to be on the forefront of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: some change in college football, and I'll tell you which
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: one it is. And also Dion Sanders, he takes a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: major stray from his old quarterback, and we're gonna get
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: into is this fair or is this foul? And then
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we have the big twelve win totals. Those we're gonna
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: go and predict who goes over, who goes under, who
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: goes to the college football playoff and everything in between.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And then finally it is top ten time today and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it is our foot ball movies of all times. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you guys, make sure that you guys enjoy that. Make
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: sure that you like, subscribe, share, tell a friend about
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the sho show and get notifications.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and do it right on now.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The way the show can continue to grow because we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: are out here doing big thing. Before we get all
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the way into it, go visit Underdog Fantasy, where you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have a chance to secure fifty dollars in entries when
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you play your first five dollars using promo code Unafraid.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And also the link is in the bio. Here's what
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we got today. So Greg Sankie, SEC Commissioner. He talked
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: about the future of college football, the future of college football. Oh,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it's messy. It's messy, And he's one hundred percent right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It is messy for those who are in charge because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it is very easy for him to look at and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: foresee the future. He knows that collective bargaining is likely coming.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That means the SEC loses power. You're probably eventually going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to have pulled media rites, which means that there's going
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to be negotiating with somebody else. Enforcement power is going
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to somebody else. So that's what he's saying when these
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: top college football commissioners are saying the future is messy,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it's uncertain. Yes, it's uncertain for those in power right now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And he's saying, we don't control what's going on right now.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The NC DOUBLEA and the conferences, they used to have
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the power, and now it's the courts and market forces
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: which are driving everything that is happening. And they have
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to find a way to get back not on the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: offensive instead of being on the defense and playing from
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: behind and trying to fix things that the courts have
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: already done. So right now, the NC DOUBLEA is essentially
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: irrelevant when it comes to punishment. It is it is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: an enforcement in anything else, no enforcement power, particularly about
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: anything that actually matters. There's no unified rules, there's no
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: legal protections for them, and the conferences are making their
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: own rules, and so are the states. That's the biggest
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is that you have states making laws saying that you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: can't even investigate their schools in Missouri and Tennessee for violations.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The schools haven't even signed the College Sports Commission, which
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is supposed to have enforcement power, So there's no enforcement
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: power there. And this is what Greg Sankie is talking about,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: because there's only one possible solution. I've said this over
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and over and I'm hoping that people can hear it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and fully invest in it. College football is an enterprise.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It has to be led by one single entity.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Who is always going to do what is best for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: college football.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Do what's best for college football, not what's best for
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the SEC or the Big Ten, or the Big twelve
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or the ACC. No, you have to do what's best
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for everybody, and if that means raising the floor for
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: other teams and shrinking the ceiling for other teams, so
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: there is parody and competition, because all that's going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: do is that these lines instead of having twenty eight
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: point games in conference lines. In conference games, those are
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gonna go down to ten.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Eleven, twelve. Those are better.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That means that you're gonna have a bigger variance of outcomes,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: which makes quality television.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Just telling you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And the SEC, and Greg Sankie knows the SEC is
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: also outside of the outside market forces. They are feeling
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that Big Ten pressure because all of this is not
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: happening in a vacuum. The Big Ten has more money,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: their schools do more living alumni at a few of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the schools, a bigger footprint across the country, and stronger
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: media leverage when it comes to Fox and all of that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Now they don't have the ESPN where ESPN has the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: majority of college football games as far as ESPN and ABC,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and then they can control a lot of the narratives
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: with the talking points and the people that they hire
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be on television.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But that's about it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: The results on the field are showing that the Big
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: ten's a better conference. So he sees that, and just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: like when any of the other negotiations happened, the SEC
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was like, listen, we've done all of these things, so
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: we should get more playoff spots. Now the Big ten
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is like, we just won three to three in a row, baby,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but you've had more playoff spots than we had, so
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: maybe we need more playoff spots. And then the Big
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: twelve and the accre like, hold on what happens when
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we come along? See, this is why the floor needs
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to be raised for everybody. Ceiling needs to shrink for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the other teams. And you're still gonna have teams go undefeated,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: one lost, two losses, win a national championship, but you're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: gonna have a bigger variance of who's able to do that,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: which is better for all of college football.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: The next thing up we had, Dan Lanning got to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: talking about some of this. Oregon's head coach. He called
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: out nil enforcement and I love this. And there are
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: people at the rival schools like Washington USC who are
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: responding to this, and they're sitting here wondering. They're like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how is he gonna talk about this?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So that means that a choice has to be made.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Either.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You believe on one hand that Dan Lanning is a hypocrite, right,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but this is not what people say about him that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: know Dan Dan Lanning recruits players none of that other coaches,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So you got to kind of throw that out the window.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Or maybe he just wants to understand what the rules
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: are and live under those rules, because his point is,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: don't tell them that there are rules if nobody following
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the rules, and then if nobody's following the rules, nobody's then.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Enforcing the rules.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So if you're a parent and you say, hey, kids,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: your curfews eleven o'clock. Kid rolls in at eleven thirty,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you don't even say anything. Kid rolls in at midnight,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You're like, hey, you're supposed to be here at eleven. Yeah, whatever,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: kid rolls in at ten thirty, I'm at eleven fifteen.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Nothing said, or you're like, yo, you gotta be in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the house at eleven.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: If there are no consequences ever doled out, is anybody
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: gonna follow a rule that they don't want to follow. No,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: absolutely not. And the real issue is competitive integrity. You
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: got forty million dollar plus rosters Texas, Texas, Tech, LSU,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and a few other places Ohio state forty plus million
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: dollar rosters compare to teams with fifteen million dollar rosters
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: when the salary cap for everybody's supposed to be under
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars? How does that work? And then
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you got the Big Ten out here? Think about this.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I want you guys to see this because this this
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: made me literally laugh yesterday when I saw this article
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna put up, I almost fainted. I almost
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: fainted when I saw this. The Big ten is let
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: me move this. The Big ten is pushing for a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: new roster retention carve out that would allow schools to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: go over the cap in order to re sign players.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: What cap?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: What cap are we referring to? What cap are we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: referring to? Because how is there a cap? If Ohio
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: State's got a forty million dollar roster, if Oregon's got
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a twenty nine million dollar roster, or a twenty five
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: million dollar roster, whatever it is, how's there a cap?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: If LSU's got almost a fifty million dollar roster? How
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is there a cap there? And they're trying to operate
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it like this. This is the NBA. It's like the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: bird rights? What bird rights? You're you're just signing players
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to whatever you want to sign them to. Anyway, Why
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: on earth do if there's no enforcement, how does this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: even matter?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, it is.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Clear, and I almost fell out of my seat laughing
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: when I saw that allow them to go over the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: cap to resign their players.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: What now?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I get the intention of it, because the intention is
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that the that if you're staying within your your twenty
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: one and a half million dollars I think it is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: for this year for your revenue sharing for all of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your sports, and then you need and then one of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: your players balls out and you need to resign them,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: then yeah, you can go over the cap.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I get the premise.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But when nobody's adhering to an actual cap right now,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and they're using shoe companies lear Field and other companies
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and their corporate sponsors to sign multiple players to NIL
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: deals to go over the cap.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: What are we talking about?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And mind you, we're talking about pay for play that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is masked as in IL two separate things, all right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The next thing that we got to talk about Marcus Freeman,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame head coach, was on with JD.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Piquel and I love this and the thing that he
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: detailed here.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Was exactly why recruits love him, why their parents love him,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Why Notre Dame isn't getting decommits right now?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Because this is an accountability program. He is.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: He understands like he's not doing what Texas did last year.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Think about what Texas did. Oh my gosh, they loved
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: us under coach Football Playoff. Maybe we should take Ohio
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: State off the schedule. That's the reason why not the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Florida lost, not your other loss, No, that that's the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: loss that got you. Marcus Freeman understands that the Miami
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: game and the text saying m game losing, those kept
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: him out of the College FOOTBA Playoff. Nobody else's fault,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: nobody else's fault, personal responsibility. And the USC game. They
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: know that they got to beat USC, and now USC
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is off of their schedule.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: All right. So here's what Marcus Freeman had to say.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Everyone wants to ask about the way the season ended
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: in the selection committee and all those questions.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Just blame somebody else for the situation that we were in.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: And I believe, like you sleep in the beds you make,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you know the God is fair.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Right, and we left out.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: We left out, So don't blame somebody else for the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: situation that we were in. And know that, Hey, we
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: got to remember that as we continue to prepare for
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: this year. You know, there's certain times you pull that out,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: you remind them of the pain of that situation in
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: that moment, but it's just reminded, hey, that we have
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to leave no doubt. In order to do that, you
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: got to leave no doubt today. You have to leave
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: no doubt in this moment that you're doing the necessary
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: things to be the best version of yourself. And that
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: means we are trying to be the best version of
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: a team that we can be. And so you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: it's just every once in a while you reach back,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: but I think it's just a reminder to embrace the
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: moment you're in, like, that's how great things to me?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You know how good that is, How good that is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and refreshing it is to hear a head coach not
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: try to blame everybody else to or uh And then
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that forces Notre Dame's fan base to get in line,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: which is the most important thing because when you have
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a head coach and I criticize Sark for this last year,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: who I think is a good head coach, so no
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: knock against him as an actual person, but him complaining
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: about not getting in the college football playoffs. In the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Ohio State game, that then infiltrates your fans. Then your
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: fans start complaining, blaming everybody else. But when the leader
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of the organization says, that's on us, that's on us.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: We gotta be better. You know what, everybody's going to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: be better. That's just the fact that they are going
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to say, don't blame anybody else.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And I love that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I love that, love that love that my kid can
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: go play for a man like like that. That's what
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you see out of a lot of the best coaches.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Kirby Smart ain't gonna make no excuses. Dan Lanny's not
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: gonna make no excuses, cursing that he's not gonna make
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: no excuses. Davil Sweeney's not gonna make excuses. And those
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: aren't the only coaches, but but but those are the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: ones that we see out in front and on the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: forefront the most and no excuses. Just like our old
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: strengthen conditioning coach Jimmy Radcliff's used to say, no excuses,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: no messengers, no sympathy groups.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's what it is, all right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Next thing up, Dion Sanders overreck Colorado. He just took
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a major straight from his former quarterback, a kid he
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: recruited out of high school. Well, that was recruited out
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of high school to Colorado. He Dion gets the job,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: stop stays committed. And this is the kid I've seen
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: since he was in high school because he went to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Sierra Canyon left and with West Ranch played very well,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and then he got a chance to play some last
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: year for Colorado. Didn't work on it all that well.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: But now he's over at Tennessee and he said something
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that it was a straight to the Colorado coaches. It
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: was a straight to Dion Sanders. And we got to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: unpack it and tell you what this really means.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: And I mean, in my three years of or yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: three years of playing college football, I haven't had as
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: much coaching as I've had in the first month that
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: I've been here. So every time he pulls me to
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: the side after a rep and you know, talks to
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: me about my feed or my face or the way
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: my off arm was on the on the throw or
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: whatever happened on the rep. Like I mean, it's it's cool.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of special coaching. It's I haven't been
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: coached this much. And again, I'm just trying to learn
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: as much as I can and improve.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: That don't sound good right now.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: On one one hand, there's probably a little bit of
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: player scoring, you know in there. It didn't work out
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: at Colorado, But maybe he feels like the reason why
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't work at Colorado because it was coaching. Deon
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Sanders has had so much turnover in the coaching staff,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: multiple offensive coordinators, and it is fair to look at
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the situation. And I'm a guy who wants Deon to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: be successful. I hope he does. I believe that he
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: does his best to raise good, good men, to turn
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: out good leaders, and that them becoming better people is
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: actually even more important than football to him, and trying
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to help them the best way that he can't. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: believe all of those things. I also believe that Dion
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Sanders high school recruiting is going to be the death
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of the program. You can't just live in the transfer portal.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You can't have a revolving door of coaches and players
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: every single year. It is impossible to instill your culture.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: It is impossible to instill your beliefs in such a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: small period of time, like you need the majority of
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: your roster there four years, two three years, all of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: them cycling through cycling through. That's how you keep your
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: culture good, That's how you keep your everything good.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: So I love it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I could not be any happier about what he's doing
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in terms of off the field with the with the players.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But on the field, Colorado has to have results. They're
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: over under for their win total for this season is
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: four and a half. Four freaking and a half. Do
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you realize how atrocious that is? That is atrocious atrocious,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: especially going into year four. They had success year year
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: one and then the bottom fell out. Then year two
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they were they were better, and then it didn't end
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: well in their bowl game they got housed, and you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and and there you you had Shader Sanders and Travis
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Hunter playing. So it's one of those things where some
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of the criticism is fair and I'm gonna get called
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a Dion hater and everything else. But I told you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: all these good things about Dion, And this is where
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I believe we have to get to as a society
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and a culture and fandom and all of this stuff.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Is that on one hand, we can say I support
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this guy, like him, support this.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Team, I like him.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Then on the other hand, yeah, this is an area
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of improvement that needs to happen. And if Deon Sanders
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: fixes his high school recruiting and gets on the road,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this dude can sell water to a well, he can
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: sell ice in a winner, he can sell fire in hell.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: But you got to get in front of people to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: do that. And in recruiting it it's about building those
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: relationships even more.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: And he's got to be able to close twenty.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Sumidd players in the high school recruiting class has to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and the majority of those offensive linemen defensive linemen because
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: those top players don't hop into portal very often. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it is hard to win when your big uglies are
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: not big and ugly. All right, But you guys, we
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: got so much going on here. We got the Big
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: twelve rankings and win totals coming up. Oh, it is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: time for us to get into the Big twelve win
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: totals and predictions for this year, the spring edition. But
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: before we get to that, it is NC doublea tournament time.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And I know everybody's watching the games you are rooting
• 20:50

  Speaker 1: the bio. All right, let's get to it, Ralph, So
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we got to do the Big twelve predictions. But before
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: we get to it, I want to explain to you people,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Ralph just gave me one of the worst takes of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: all time, I believe, and it involves high school recruit
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So everybody knows that that And if you don't know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: here's an informed information for you. High school recruits are
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: apparently using AI to increase their highlights, to make their
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: highlight videos, make Munchy to look even better, look more spectacular,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: everything else. And go ahead, tell the people what you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: have said, said, Ralph, tell them, go ahead, tell.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Them, I'm seeing like a universal commentator condemnation, yes, of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: this idea that you know, you know, using AI to
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: enhance your your huddle highlights, your high school highlights meant
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: to get college football recruiters attention. Is a bad thing.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Couple of things on that number one, easy money. Everybody's
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: gonna retweet you. Everybody's gonna agree with you, no one
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: is arguing, no one's arguing. Also, your audience is not
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: reading that. Your your supposed intended audience, These high school kids,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: they're not reading that. It's just a bunch of coaches
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: being like, oh, oh my gosh, is this really happening,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: And everybody's retweeting, and everybody's patting themselves on the back.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: If you're not good enough to play high school to
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: play college football, and you're a high school football player.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Lie go full George O'Leary to Notre Dame and just lie.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: There is no consequence that is going to dip below
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: your reality. There's what's gonna happen, George.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: You get exposed on the on the internet and embarrassed.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: This isn't like that kid who committed to cal put
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: the cow haat on it didn't actually have a scholarship.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Who's going to be a.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Difference, Ralph, You're sitting here lying about your highlights. You're
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: putting something up and be like my senior year highlights.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: That is a lie.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: But you can't. But there is not a crime.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's not a crime.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: It's not any different than somebody who's six one and
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: a half putting six four on their max preps. There's
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: no difference at all.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: That's outrageous too.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Half an inch at the very most, anything over half
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: half an inch, you are.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Full of it. But here's a deal, like it is
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the recruiter's job to verify at a bare minimum, Lying
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: and catching lies is going to help refine the process,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: make it better, make sure that lazy recruiters don't do
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: as well, and the people who do their due diligence
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: do better. It's I don't see any downside to this.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Number one, it's funny. It's objectively funny to see somebody
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: run a two point eight forty on their huddle highlights.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Dad's hilarious. More of that, please. Number two. If you
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: are not going to go to college to play football
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: because you are not good enough, You're still not going
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: to go to college to play football because you're not
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: good enough, but you might waste somebody's time. You might
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: have a funny story later in life. Number three. If
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: you pull this off, then you get your foot in
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the door. You give yourself an opportunity, your Frank Gobygnally
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: from catch me. If you can't, it's it. If it's
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: a situation where somebody could get hurt, should never never lie.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: If it's a situation where you're you're just like trying
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: to trick the system, that is pretty standard for the
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: process of how people get recruited. You hear all these
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: stories all the time of like how a band got discovered,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: you know, like I think there was a story about
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: no doubt, like they bought their own music video to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: be played on local TV. They got a ten thousand
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: dollars investment, and then they just paid for their own
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: video to get played over and over over this people
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: got used to the song.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: So is this so okay? Okay, let's say I bite
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: on this, okay? Is there any difference? Because what my
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: dad did in nineteen ninety eight was or ninety seven
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: was he would mind you I was playing extremely well, okay,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: playing extremely well. He would call the newspaper and be
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: like and pretend to be coaches and say, hey, yo,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: there's this kid at Silmar Bro.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: He's killing it. Have you seen him?
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: So?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I had features in the paper like damn near every
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: single week and east.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: How Donald Trump? That's how Donald Trump stayed in page
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: six in New York. He would call as his own publicist.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: He would call his own publicist and he'd be like,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you see Donald Trump's dating. They'd be like, isn't Donald
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Trump married? Oh? His wife's old news? He got this
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: girl on his arm. He got that girl on his arm.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: That's how he stayed in the news now.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: But but then when you turned on the film, it
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: was legit though, Ralph.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine, that's fine, But you can't accidentally become president.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: You can't accidentally become the you might be able to
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: accidentally become president if you're if you're Donald Trump and
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: you're getting your name in page six every day, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: you can't accidentally become the quarterback at Alabama.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I agree, but this is I can't even believe you.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's what's the harm? What is the harm? You're
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: not good enough? What do you want?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You want good enough? What if you're close to good enough?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Like like you're I if you are a kid that's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: gonna go fcs and then you inflate your highlight. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: now you end up at you know, Boise State, or
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: you end up at UCF, or you end up at
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Houston instead.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Then you're on a one year deal. They've expanded scholarships
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: to one oh five, only forty five people play. Nobody
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: gets hurt, You get some free meals out of it,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you get a fun story. What is the worst possible
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: thing that could happen.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That you get your position? Coach fire?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: If he's not doing what he's supposed to in recruiting.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: There's somebody who come along.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: But he did.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: He watched the film. He's like, yo, this looks great
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: on film. This kid all the measurables. He looks physical.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He looks blah blah blah. Let's offer him. Come, Josh,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this. I can't even believe Okay.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you got look at the quarterback position. There's
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: a lot of people who don't believe in quarterbacks who
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: end up playing wave ap of their station. If Josh
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Allen had doctored his film, because he emailed every coach
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: in the country and only one responded, Craig Bullet, Wyoming,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: if he had docted his film and accidentally got the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: attention of Oregon.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: It would not have worked out for him because he
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was big and inaccurate. So okay, he needed to go
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to Wyoming. He needed to go to Wyoming to be
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: able to become what he was. It worked out perfectly
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: for him. Stop trying to manufacture results anyways. All right,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: our Big Twelve rankings based upon the win totals. So
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna give you the overs and the unders. But
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: first we want to show you the Big twelve rankings,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna give you all the explanations for how
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it turned out. So as we present it here, you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: go here. So Ralph, they're getting a chance to see
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it now. And I know that people are freaking out,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: But before that, we will explain to you how we
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: got here, well how I got here. Ralph will probably
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: shoot holes in a lot of this. But first up,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the team over and under. Their Their win total this
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: year at Ralph is eleven and a half. Eleven and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of people who are upset about this.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Because they're they're they're they're talking about Texas Tech schedule
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: is not that great. But overall though, I find it
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: very interesting the win totals Ralph because you got eleven
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and a half and then nobody at ten and a half,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: nine and a half, and then a couple of eight
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and a halfs What does that say about the Big twelve.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: And then it got there? It took it too many
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Pac twelve teams and the snake eating its tail lives.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: That's what it says to me.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense, all right, So let's get into it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So first team Texas Tech, they are predicted to go
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: and they got eleven and a half Ralph eleven and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a half, and their toughest game is going to be
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: at I don't even know where Ralph at where, Like,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: what game could Texas Tech possibly lose because they are
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: one of these forty million dollar rosters. They got Abilene, Christian,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Oregon State, Houston, Sam, Houston State, Yes, Sam Houston, Colorado,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Arizona State, Cincinnati, Arizona, West, Virginia, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: TCU Ralph. It does not feel like there is any
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: team that they can lose to outside of like Arizona
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: State maybe, and.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Even then, they're playing at home in Arizona State. The
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: last time they went out there they lost to Kiki
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: kot fantastic schedule, just could not have lined up any
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: better for them. This is going to be This has
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the potential to be a very very special season. Eleven
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: and a half is a lot to the point where
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't actually put any of my money on it. Yes,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: but if you had to say, you know, they absolutely
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: have the chance to have twelve thirteen wins this season.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And yeah, the addition of Brendan Soresby is cool, but
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: let's remember they got an entire running back room full
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: of sophomore studs. Yeah, Cameron Dicky is one of them.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Cameron Dickie was a monster in high school on both
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: sides of the ball. The physicality that he runs with
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: to see Texas Tech running the ball like this, from
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Taj Brooks to Cameron Dickie and and even Quintin Joiner
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: is going to be in that room this year. They're
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: going to be so good. This schedule lines up so well,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: even if they do have to travel, they run the
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: ball well. I don't think a ton of it's going
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: to be on on Brendan Soersby, even though they forked
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: up the money to make sure that he was their guy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think they actually needed to do it with
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: this schedule, this roster. But they're planning for a deep
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: run in the college football playoffs, so maybe it makes
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: sense to drop six mil on a quarterback.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And truthfully, they're in a good spot to go
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: back to back Big twelve champs, and I don't think
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: that there's anybody that can really contend with them. Is
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that bear outside of the team that we're going to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: that is picked to finish second, right, Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I mean if you can, if you can run the
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: ball and keep it close, then you can compete with them.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: But they're great at home, and they're gonna be physical
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna be fun. It's gonna be tough, all right.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: The next team up is BYU Ralph. BYU, they're over
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: under for their win total is eight and a half.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: This feels until you look at their schedule, it feels
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit disrespectful because they do have Notre Dame
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: on the schedule and Notre dames win total for the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: year is eleven and a half.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Right, So.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You're looking at BYU and how do we find wins Ralph?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: How do we find well? Because because I got them
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: at nine wins and the over.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: But they could get to I think they could get
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to ten wins.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But I do think that that Utah game Arizona state
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that those could be tough games. Oh oh oh and
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Arizona two. Arizona cannot be slipt on.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. The thing that makes this BYU
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: team potentially special to me is their offensive line. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: think the youngest oh lineman going into the season for
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: them is going to be twenty two. I think they
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: have They have the potential to start four red shirt seniors.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: They're big, they run the ball well, Bear Bachmeyer picks
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: up first downs by any means necessary. They're going to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: be missing Parker Kingston. He's not coming back, and so
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: big playability could be the thing that puts them in
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: a situation to lose a game here and there if
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: you're down late in the game. But we saw bear
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Bachmeer work some clutch magic last year. So at this point,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I think you got to buy in on on BYU
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: being a really good challenger to that win total, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I think it would just be sensible to pencil them
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: in if you're making predictions to have a rematch in
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the Big Twelve Championship.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this feels this, This feels like a two
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: horse race. But the interesting thing about the Big Twelve, though,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: is is that you've had pretty much a surprise team
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: kind of pop up and be good every single year.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what we get out of that. All right.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: The next team that we have up is the utah
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Utes ralph The utah Utes now now their win total
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: is eight and a half. Now, originally originally we had
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: them at eight and four, well sorry, at nine to three,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: But now I think that that eight and four is
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: probably more realistic. I think that they're going to have
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: tough games against Arkansas, BYU, Arizona and TCU. I think
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that those are going to be their biggest challenges over
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: there at Utah, and they got a new head coach,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: first time head coach in Morgan Scalley. I don't think
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: that that's going to necessarily go perfectly in his first year,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and I think that that's going to create a little
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: bit of a rub for them.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: My issue with Utah this year and where I think
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: they could really possibly fall apart, is it is very
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Utah to keep things in the family right. Kevin mcgiven
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: as an offensive coordinator higher I don't think matches the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: innovation that they brought in last season. I think that
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: the innovation that they brought in last season served Devin
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Dampier well, it served that team incredibly well. And if
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Kevin mcgiven is coming in and he's trying to be
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: traditional or even vanilla, then they're going to be in trouble.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: They got to make use of the talent that they
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: have on this team, especially at quarterback. So I'm very,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: very worried. I'm very worried about Utah's offense, but I
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: think their defense is going to keep them in a
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: ton of games.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, this Utah team, they're obviously and clearly
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: a very good football team. But when you get down
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: to it, there's so much change happening, so much change happening.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I think that it is naive to look at them
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: and think that losing Kyle Whittingham in terms of being
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a leader and everything else, that that's not going to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: have a significant impact on this team.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Agreed.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Next team up, the Arizona Wildcats. They they're over under
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: for win. Their win total is seven and a half.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: We like them at nine, Ralph, we like them at nine,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and I am I could not be any more excited
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: about this team because you know who nobody's talking about that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about Noah Fafita at quarterback. When people put
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: it putting out their top quarterback list, nobody is talking
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: about Noah Fafeda. It's like, it's like that the twenty
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: twenty four season when they lost their head coach, Jeffish,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: when they lost te ma Ac and some other Ephesians,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Price SoC and Jonah Coleman and autumn dudes, that they
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: forgot what happened the year before, and then a year
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: of adjustment, a year of getting better, and now Noah
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Fafiedo Ralph should be talked about. And this schedule, to me,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: is pretty manageable they get out. So they got Northern
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Arizona and n IU and in the preseason those are
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: winnable games. In Northern Illinois just lost their head coach.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Then they played Washington State. Now that game's in Pullman
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna be be facing a little jitterbug quarterback
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and Cayden Pinnock who transferred from UC Davis. But then
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati at West Virginia, Iowa State Texas, Like this feels
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: like a team that can get out of their ralph
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: with with either nine wins or seven wins, Like there
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't because if they lose, because it is possible to
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: lose to Utah, Kansas State could be better. Arizona State.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: They in the season on a five game run like
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: they could be seven and zero and then finished nine
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and three.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. My thing with University of Arizona is if you
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: believe the complaints that people had about Indiana, they're like, oh,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: we just can't be out here compete with these twenty
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: three twenty four year olds. Arizona got some age on
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: this team. Ismael Maddy is a red shirt senior. Chris
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Hudson is still on this team. George what quick? Chris
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Hudson that went to Oregon. I think so. I think
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: he's another year of eligibility. Javin Wattley, who we talked
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: about as one of our number one most underrated players
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: last year coming to the transfer portal, I thought he
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: only had one year of eligibility left. He's still listed
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: here on the depth chart. And they've got some extremely
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: talented players like Tray Spivey. Offensively, I think they're gonna
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: be really good. The entire left side of the offensive
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: line is mature. They got some tight ends that have
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: a ton of experience. Noah Fafiitaz started probably more games
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: than anybody in the Big Twelve. They're gonna have consistency
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: in their system from year to year. The real question
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: with this team comes down to are they able to
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: replace what they lost defensively, especially in that defensive backfield.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: But they've moved to run in the even with somebody
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: who traditionally runs the three three five there, they got
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: multiple defenses they can adjust. I'm a huge fan of
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Danny Gonzalez. They could be a very very dangerous team,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: or they could have one injury at quarterback and fall
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: off a cliff. So the variance in this team I
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: think is huge, but the maturity on offense is going
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: to make this a very, very explosive roster. Totally agree.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: All right, now, I want to go over to Arizona
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: State because Arizona State, obviously they were the darlings a
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons ago, last year, well when they made
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the college football playoffs two years ago. Last year, devastating
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: injuries all over the place and particularly a quarterback, and
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you lose Sam Sam Levitt, he hops into transfer portal.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Now you're getting Cutter Bowlie over from Kent Kentucky, and
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you hope he's your starter.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: I guess right.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got Mikey Kean if it doesn't work out,
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I mean they've tried to make sure they have a
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: high floor.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: So with six and a half being the over under Ralph,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me because they do have Texas A
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and M, which I do believe that that's probably gonna
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: be a win for Texas A and M. But if
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: they beat Texas A and M, all bets are off
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the season.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: All bets are off.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm actually hoping that that does happen because I
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: want Kenny Dillingham, who just had another baby to be
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: successful because he wanted to stay at Arizona State. So
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: what Arizona State fans be happy with an eight and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: four season this year?
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Row It depends on whether or not the offense looks
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: ugly like it did for a lot of the time
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: last year. When you say like, oh, we're going to
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: have you know, we had Sam Levitt who was getting
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of hype, not necessarily the hype you and
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I bought him too, as far as him being the
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: number one quarterback in the country and potentially a first
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: round pick. But he did play well, he took him
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: to College Football Playoff. There was a lot of hype there.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: And then you combine that with having the probably the
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: number one receiver that's going to get taken off the board,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: a top three offensive tackle that's going to get taken
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: off the board. And the offense looked like garbage last year.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: So as long as the offense looks functional and they
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: continue to play like heroes at home, I think that
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: the fan base will be happy. Now if they go
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: off to London and they come back confused and out
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: of sorts and struggle against Baylor or struggle against Hawaii,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: you know, then the fans are gonna be really upset.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: But there's so many players on this team, and I
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: feel like, even close to the situation, I don't know
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: what to make of it. I don't know if a
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Mario Miller is going to be the guy at wide receiver.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: You don't know who's gonna play quarterback for them. You
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: don't know which running back is gonna step up. Hopefully
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: the defensive line, which is not healthy going into spring,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: is healthy going into the season. Brian Ward is taking
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: kind of a more hands off CEO approach to the defense.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: He's been fantastic, But what adjustment, you know how that
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: affected to me. This is the biggest mystery team, and
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: it's the team I'm closest to. You just really don't
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: know who's gonna be on the field, and you want
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: to trust Kenny Dillingham to make it all work. However,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: last year the offense just at times looked lost, and
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: then they'd have performances like a two hundred and fifty
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: yards rushing out of Jeff Simms or you know, Jalen
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Moss in the Bowl game going for one hundred and
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: fifty yards in the first half. You know they have
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: it in them. Can they be consistent? That a huge miss.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Reading this team, I think the fans would be happy
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: with eight and four if the offense isn't dysfunctional.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Six and a half as their win total feels like
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: a layup. To me, I would take this. I would
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: smash this. This feels like found money right here. Next
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: team up, the Baylor Bears, Ralph. The Baylor Bears. They
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: are going to likely have Dj Lagway as their starting quarterback.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I put him on the potential transfer portal list this year.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at this list, Ralph, and I'm like, all right,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Auburn game in Atlanta is gonna be tough. Arizona State, TCU,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: b YU, Texas Tech, possibly UCF. And I mean, what
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: if Colorado this this has and if Kansas is any better? Ralph,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: this has six wins written all over it? To me,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: six or five. This feels like an easy under to
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: me for Baylor, and that means that this is going
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to be the end of David Randa's tenure there.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've been saying that, but he hangs on,
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: and he hangs on. So the real question for me
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: is the marriage of Jake Spabitol and Dj Lagway. Jake
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Spabitol has a lot of credits. He helped, He helped
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Jared Goff be a number one overall pick. He got
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of success as a college football play caller,
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: as a quarterback, whisperer, whatever you want to call him.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: This group of receivers, is it enough, George, because I
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna be more talented than what DJ
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Lagway had at Florida. But I don't think. No, some
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: of that stuff was DJ Lagway's fault. It looked like
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: But Josh Cameron, Cole Wilson, Ashton Hawkins, you know that
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: was a decent group in twenty twenty for Sawyer Robertson.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: But they're getting Draylon Miller from Colorado, They're getting Gavin
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Freeman from Oklahoma State, hardly Gilmour from from Kentucky. Can
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: they all mix in time to be an effective offense
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six? And then the big question is
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: who is responsible for this defense? It sucks lately, and
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: so is You don't want DJ Lightway to have to
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: throw you back into a game.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: No, No, Ralph, I'm looking at one game. What one
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: game that is on this screen is going to dictate
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: their entire season. That could either throw it completely off
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the rails early.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: Colorado at home.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Yep, if they.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Lose to Colorado at at home, it is it's over.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: It's it's over.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: The fat Lady is gonna be singing and like she's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: she will be singing show tunes. She'll be up there,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Hello my baby, Hello, Mahn, Hello, Oma, Rag Tom, They'll.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Be up there.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: It will be a disaster if that happens. So yeah, Oh,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: next up a team. I'm excited about six and a
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: half over under for them their win total, Ralph. They
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: were a disaster last year, a disaster, but they get
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Drew Mestemaker and we're talking about the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Ralph.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I love the over at seven wins here. They're gonna
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: lose the Oregon in the non conference, but then Houston
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: is gonna be tough because they got a quarterback. Defense
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: is very good there. Iowa State they should beat Iowa
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: State or yeah, and then you got Kansas State, West Virginia. Ralph,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: they might be able to find eight wins this year,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: might be able to find eight wins because they got Tulsa,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: they got Murray State. Those are wins. Think that they're
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: gonna beat UCF, beat Colorado, beat Iowa State. That's five wins,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: already beat Kansas that's six, and then they should be
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: able to take down West Virginia and if they Yeah,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: this feels like seven wins to.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Me, Ralph.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: How quickly we forget that Oklahoma State won for a
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: very long time. Yes, and they were competitive in the
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Big Twelve for a very long time. And the thought
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: was when Oklahoma and Texas left the Big Twelve that
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State would be next up. Unfortunately, Mike Gundy didn't
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: necessarily adapt fast enough. This fan base is energized and
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: excited for a new era and they have a hell
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: of a quarterback at the helm. I don't see him
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: getting the eight wins, but seven is within reach for sure.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how one year of being sorry can just
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: change everybody's perception about you totally.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Just yeah, And they get voted number one in twenty
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: twenty four and then go zero to nine in conference
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: and it's you know, and then all of a sudden
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: people are like, yeah, they've always been bad. No, they're
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: like Florida State. They should have a much higher floria
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: than they've displayed.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, next team up TCU Ralph I okay, so their
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: their win total is six and a half as well,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I will feel.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Like I will.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I am excited about their Week zero game against North
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Carolina because the thing that people didn't understand about North
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Carolina last year, amongst all the Bill Belichick should be
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: fired and everything else because of his personal life stuff,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: which I thought made everything unstable and everything else. But
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: this defense was good and that's the side of the
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: ball that he is good at. And then when and
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: when you look at bringing Bobby Petrino over as offensive coordinator,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to score points. So they are going to
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: be better on offense. Like there's no possible way that
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: they are as bad as they were last year. So
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: if you put a good defense, and I know that
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: they graduated some players, but if you put a good
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: defense together with a competent offense, North Carolina is gonna
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: get to eight games.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a competitive football team with
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. So TCU season and their trajectory, a lot
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of it is gonna be based on this North Carolina game.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: They gotta get this game.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: That is gonna be so interesting for the simple reason
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: of you're gonna have a Harvard quarterback in Jaden Craig
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: going up against the Bill Bellich check coach defense, and
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: we'll see who's smarter, right Like, We'll see And I'm
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: assuming Jaden Craig gets that starting job because they brought
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: him over and he's had a lot of success in
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: the IVY League. This is a big step up. But
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like, well, no right away whether or not
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: they have a functional quarterback, and I just I don't
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: imagine Sonny Dike's not being able to move the ball.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: But I feel like Sonny Dikes is in a position
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: that a lot of these big twelve coaches are in
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: this year. You're probably on your last legs if you
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: don't do something to impress, and that includes Cincinnati and
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Baylor and several others in my opinion, are gonna you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: I think we'll know this year whether or not rich
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Rod is gonna work in West Virginia because he has
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: fully retooled that entire roster in a matter of two years.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: So I think that this game matters a lot for
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Sonny Dike's future and for TCU's season. If they come
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: out and they look bad, they get dominated. Jaden Craig
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't look like he could play at this level. Who knows,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: who knows, we might we might be in interim.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: So do you like the over six and a half?
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: I think I think they'll be. I think they'll be
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: just a shade under. I don't have a ton of
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: faith in this team. And but maybe Jade and Craig
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: is the answer.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: We'll see, yeh, all right, Cincinnati Ralph. Five and a
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: half wins for the Bearcats, And obviously the Boston College
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: game is going to tell a lot about this football
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: team because Boston College and Bill and Bill O'Brien, they were,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, bro on, that was not a good
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: football team. Last last year at the end of the
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: season on c W Ralph, we had Boston College versus
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Syracuse Syracuse with no quarterback against Boston College. It was atrocious.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: It was just it was horrendous football. And uh yeah,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: so I got I got Cincinnati under the five and
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: a half wins at five wins, but obviously they're gonna
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: have some help with the with with Western Carolina and Miami.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: They should win both of those games, but they could
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: mess around and well, my Miami and Ohio lost their
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: head coach, which you know he because uh no, no, no, no,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: no no, that was Ohio that lost their their their
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: head coach, right with the uh with the with the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: sh with with hotel. Yes, uh so you know, so
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: they gotta get Western Carolina and Miami obviously, and then
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: from from there. Bro, this is not easy. This is tough,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: tough sledging. You you you might get a break at
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Iowa State and Colorado, but yeah, I think it's gonna
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: be hard for them to get six wins this year.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Yep. I think we are just five or six months
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: away from getting the Jason Kelce to Cincinnati. No coaching
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: rumors for clicks for clicks, not at a real it.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: But I think we'll see some article. Maybe we'll be
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: the one to put the article out.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the next team up, Ralph. This is actually sad
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: they're over under is five and a half. But this
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: has been a much better team than that because of
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: their head coach and now he's gone, and that is
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Iowa State. I do not see a world where Iowa
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: State can win more than five and a half games.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: The fighting Eddie George is over at Bowling Green could
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: be an issue for them. They're gonna lose to Iowa
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Running the football is probably gonna be tough.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna beat BYU or Arizona or Arizona State Baylor.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And since he could be toss ups, UCF could be
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: a toss up, can't There's nothing about this schedule route
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: for Arizona for Iowa State, considering that they lost like
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: fifty players to the portal. And yes, you guys, some
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Washington State kids come down and a good coach probably,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: but this ain't it.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: This is not it.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to Iowa State being complete garbage this year.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: I have been waiting twenty plus years for revenge over
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: head coach Jimmy Rodgers, who coached my rival, my high
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: school's rival, or not coach. He quarterbacked my high school's
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: rival to a I don't know. He was not the quarterback,
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: but he was on my high school's rival and won
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: them a championship in their fifth year of existence. Meanwhile,
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: we had to wait like one hundred years to get
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: a championship, and it kicked off them beating us seventeen
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: times in a row. He was I think a one
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: time teammate of Terrell Suggs. And so just a little
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: little high school football rivalry that Jimmy Rodgers isn't even
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: aware of between me and him, and I didn't.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Even know you're mad, and he don't even know about it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: No, he has no idea. But I do believe twenty
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: twenty six is going to be the tax for making
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: me jealous for the last two decades.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So next team up, the Kansas Jayhawks, Ralph,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Kansas Jayhawks. First thing is, I want you to pay
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: attention to their schedule. They have more named games than
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: anybody has had. They're over under is five and a half?
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Actually hold up to go back for a second, I
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: will state five and a half.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: I got him.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Under at four wins. Where do you have him at under? Okay, four,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: I think four would be would show that Jimmy Rodgers
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: is a very good coach for what they have this year. Yeah,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Kansas over uh, their total is over five and a
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: half wins. I got him at six wins, Ralph, I
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: got him at six wins. And isn't it crazy? Lance
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Leopold was like he was a hot nam and coach
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years ago. Loses his offensive coordinator
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Andy Kote, Nicki Andy Kotenicki goes to Penn State, nobody
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: likes what's going on there, and now he's back, right.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they got the band back together. That he's
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: not the de facto offensive coordinator. I think it's going
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: to be a co oc type deal. They have the
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: game in London.
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: This is what I worry about when it comes to
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Kansas football, is that that they're all like Baylor or
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: some of these other teams that were historically booty juice
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: just terrible for a really long time, and they got
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: hot and they were able to get investment. But I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: do wonder if it would have been better if lance
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Leopold took one of these fifteen jobs that were he
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: was supposedly tied to, because then they can get somebody
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: in who can you know, envision shepherding it to the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: next level. Did lance Leepold catch lightning in a bottle?
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Or are they going to be resilient or were they
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: kind of beholding to loyalty to the Jalen Daniels experiment
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: over time? You know, are they going to be able
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: to bring in a quarterback who can get them to
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: the next level. We're gonna find out in London. We're
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: gonna find out with the SEC game early in the season.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: They We're gonna find out at rice Eco Stadium on
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: October tenth. They they could legitimately be one in three
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: heading into a rivalry game with Kansas State. If they're
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: two and two, then anything's possible. If they're one and three,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: then the wheels might fall off this season.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: I totally agree.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: But the one team I think that in the Big
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: twelve that we talked about already that Wills could fall
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: off this year as Utah because there's so much change,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Like the variance on what they could be is so
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: big of a difference.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're not. They're not playing like garbage at
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: rice Ecles. I don't think.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, correct, all right, But I do want to point
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: out they have the Kansas has the Border Showdown with Kansas,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: the Union Jack Classic. I don't know how it's a classic.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: It's the first time it's happening over in London, and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: then they got the Sunflower Showdown.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess they can't be one and three
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: because they got l i U and and Middle Tennessee.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: But we'll see how things go for the Jayhawks.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, A team that I'm not excited about
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: at all, and it could be because I'm not excited
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: about their head coach at all, and I'm gonna be
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. There is a little bit of
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: me here that is it's because of the coach, where
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes when you are excited about a coach and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: his potential, you get, you know, like you might overestimate
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: a team a little bit, and the same works in
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: underestimating a team. So we got UCF under five and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: a half wins, and UCF decided to spin the block
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: with their head coach that left them high and dry,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: and then when he didn't have anywhere else to go,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: he was like, yo, I'll come back in Scott Frost
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: when he said I took the wrong job at Nebraska.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: All right, well let's see what you do with UCF again,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: because last year wasn't it was just I And now
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: you got, yeah, a five and a half win total,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: which I'm taking the under. I think that outside of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Badune Cookman Pitt is obviously gonna be tough. Georgia State
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: they could lose that game. Then they got TCU at
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Houston at Oklahoma State. Both of those are going to
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: be formidable teams. B Yu, no chance, Baylor, who knows, Kansas,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: you know if? But then Arizona State, Yeah, they they
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: better hope that Iowa State and Colorado are bad.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: They didn't need consistency at quarterback. They have four guys
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: start last year, and aren't they getting Alonza Barnett for
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: like his fifteenth year of college football?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I think from James Madison the quarterback, Yeah, I think.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: I think that should bring them some stability if that's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: the case. But they've had so much movement at quarterback
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: since they had their thirteen and oher run, it's been insane.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think about the fact that they at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: one point had our guy from Florida State. They at
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: one point had Mikey Keane. You know they they now
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: and he has he has that. You know, They've they
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: at Ohio's starter park and Navarro who balled out the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: last couple of years and I think got denied another
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: year of eligibility. He was at UCF at one point.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Your guy Dylan Gabriel was at UCF at one point.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: They just they've never really had that consistency or that stability,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: and it looks like they might be on a one
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: year rental this year. But what they really got to
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: worry about is that early season trip to pitt Because
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: if things look ugly right out of the gate, then
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: that that's a passionate fan base. They don't like to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: be embarrassed. They expect to be functional by year two.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and fun. And that's the thing that I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: think that people have to remember is that it's not
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: always winning that makes people, you know, excited at the
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: beginning of a tenure. A lot of times it is
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: looking competent that they're like, Okay, I can see that
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: this is better. That we would normally get blown out
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: in these games, but now instead of it being with
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: us losing by three touchdowns, we lost by seven, lost
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: by nine, and then field goal game and stuff like that.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Those are the signs of progress, all right. Now, how
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: about the progress for West Virginia and rich Rod. They're
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: over under his five and a half wins. Oh well, actually,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: first Ralph UCF over under five and a half wins.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: I think they'll be under.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, West Virginia five and a half wins over or under.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I like them over. I think rich Rod has turned
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: over this roster so much. I don't love that he.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like you found a quarterback in Scottie Fox
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: by the end of the year last year. I don't
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: like that he recruited over him. But the pressure is
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: there to win. He's very serious about it. The guy
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: collects running backs like Daniels collects Infinity Stones. At one point,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: some of these guys got to work out the offense
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: is gonna score points. You know that, that's true. The
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: fact that they get to host Arizona is huge, and
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: you know, the trip to Charlotte to play Virginia is
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: we're gonna see, We're gonna see if you know. I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: don't know if they had the nil investment to be
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: able to compete with Virginia, who does have money right now.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: But if they win that game, there's gonna be a
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: ton of hype around this team because you know that
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: if they're winning and scoring. But it doesn't matter if
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: you win sixty to fifty, as long as you're getting wins.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: That is yeah, yeah, because that at least gives you
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: time to fix things. Yeah, time is very important. You
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: justally need to buy some additional time.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: The last Big twelve team and Ralph two years ago
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: could you imagine that we would have talked about this
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: team last into Big Twelve, like if we were doing
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: a Big twelve video, Is there any way that this team,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: that the Colorado Buffalos, would be the last team that
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: we talked about.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: Some very specific things would have had to go wrong,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: and I think we would have outlined those things. We
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: would have said that it's unlikely. But in that process,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: every single thing has has kind of gone wrong, in
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: just you know, not being able to hang on to players,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: not being able to deliver on promises, not being able
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: to get good high school players in for good reason,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: not being able to have consistency at position coaches, or
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: have people who are legitimized in the eyes of college
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: football want to come work for you, so you have
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: to go after guys who are trying to get their
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: first shot, or guys who you know, had a cup
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: of coffee or were really really good in the NFL.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: All of those things would have had to occur, And
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: it feels like that's what was happening. Why their entire
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: wide receiver room would bail. I mean, they got Danny Scaudero.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: That's a monster, but it's a five to nine monster.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: You know why is everybody leaving? Why don't people want
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: to stay? Why did Ryan stop go to or who's
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: the quarterback that went to went to Tennessee and immediately said,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: I got more coaching here in a month than I got.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: The last year Ryan stopped.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It just feels like every bad possible thing that
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: could have happened is happening.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Bro Okay.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: So when Dion originally said, I don't go on the
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: road we're recruiting because I don't you know, if I
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: go to one high school, somebody's mad. And this, first
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: of all, he doesn't care about pissing people off. That's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: the That's the true. So either one and Dion is
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: not a lazy person. So either one of two things
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: is true. Either Dion Sanders' health issues because he's had
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: blood clots and if you're flying all over the place,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: that can become an issue. So either he doesn't want
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: to specifically say that my health doesn't allow me to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: do this, okay, or he just doesn't want to do it.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Because the best coaches in college football beat the streets,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: they go visit recruits, they do home visits, all of
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: this stuff, there is no way to SUSTAINCT to sustain
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: success in college football without high school recruiting, there aren't
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: enough good players that come out of the portal every
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: year in terms of you being able to rebuild a
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: roster every single year. There's too much in and out
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: the door with coaches, and there's too much they need stability.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: And if I am there, and then the guy who
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: hired Rick hired Dion Rick George, he's out at Ady.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: So now you wonder, like you, here are the numbers
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: how much money is being generated and Boulder because of Dion.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: They're sold out all of this stuff. But at some
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: point in time, the money's gonna fall off because you're
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: not winning. It can be all the hype, pomp and
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: circumstance surrounding it, but you don't have any household names
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: there right now, agreed, and so you're not gonna get
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the level of attention that then attracts recruits. Ralph, this
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: is the the gotcha, gotcha year for Dion Sanders. He
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: has to win. He has to win. They're over under
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: for this year. It's four and a half wins. And
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I am, honestly, I'm struggling to get over there, Like
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I want Dion to be.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Successful and Brandon Marion.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, but Georgia Tech, bro, Georgia Tech is lining up
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: and knocking chin straps loose. You lost your defensive coordinator,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: you lost Warren Sap, you lost the running backs coach,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Marshall Falk. And I'm not saying that those are necessarily
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: the best coaches in the whole world, because they might
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: might might not have been.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: I wasn't in the room, But what I do know
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: is switching up coaches all the time and retooling your
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: roster every single year is not a recipe for success.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: So Route four and a half wins, where do they
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: find wins at?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: I don't see them, I really don't. Then they're gonna
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: beat Weaver State, the probably beat Cincinnati. But this might
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: be his third three and nine campaign, George.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: And if that's the case, do you keep Dion? If
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: you are Colorado?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: I think he'd move on.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Out of out of pride, maybe.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, at a pride, or out of just self preservation.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: You don't want to get you know, you don't want
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: to go south like he's got. He's got enough to
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: worry about, got sons in the NFL, he got everything
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: he ever worked for is there for him to just enjoy.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: He's got health issues. I wasn't going to bring that up,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, why you got a.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Little public together. That's fine.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: He got a little Geico walk around money or affleck.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm hoping this works. I just don't see a
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: way it works. I'm sorry to be the bear of
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: bad news.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: That is the big twelve rankings. Oh excuse me, let's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: rephrase that. That is the big ten win totals and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: predictions for this year. We will get some more stuff
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: later later on with our preseason rankings as the season
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: gets gets closer. But that's where we're at right now
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: because I've be things shake out in the spring. We're
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: gonna see what happens in the portal everything else. But
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: make sure that you guys like share, subscribe, get notifications,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: tell a friend about the show.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: And up next, it is top ten time.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: You do not want to miss this Top ten time
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: football movies of all time.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: It is Top ten time today on the show. This
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: time we got top ten football movies of all time.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: We are gonna rank them one to ten.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I'll go first, Ralph will go second, until we get
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: up to ten, and these are the ten best movies. Now,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: mind you, I do want to explain to you the rules.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: These are football movies. But apparently, according to what Ralph
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: has told us, he is taking some liberties with this.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I guess the same way that people feel like die
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Hard is a Christmas movie, which it is, Grimlins is
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: a Crimlin Christmas movie, which it is. So I'm going
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: to give allows some leeway here. But are you excited
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: and are you ready to go?
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: Ralph? Yeah? I am. This actually made me very nostalgic
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: and actually kind of sad because we don't make football
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: movies anymore. They used to make a lot of football movies.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: There's thirty two football movies. Some of them were musicals
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: made between nineteen thirty and nineteen thirty nine. You know
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: how many football movies we've got in the last ten years, George,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: not very many. Two are two football movies in the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: last ten years, and one of them I would love
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: to know if this runs a foul of your rules
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: or not. Is eighty for Brady Man.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, eighty for Brady. I actually liked eighty for Brady.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: I will count that as a football movie.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: The other one was Wow, The other one was a
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: Kurt Warner story. The only football stuff they make now
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: are like thirty for thirties and documentaries and stuff.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: I saw that too. I enjoyed the Kurt Warner movie too.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: So mind Ralph does not know my list, I do
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: not know Ralph's list. I'm gonna start it off because
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: the greatest football movie of all time must be acknowledged.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Remember the Titans Left Side Strong Side.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: It is a movie about overcoming it is there's plenty
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: of football in it that it is, got quotable lines,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: you got quotable characters. It is just an absolute gem
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: of a football movie greatness. It gets no better than that.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: That's a perfect one one. And Ryan Goslin going on
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: the New Heights podcast this week and acknowledging that he
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: is a liability at Corner might be one of the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: best clips in the history of the Internet. So I
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: will give you that one. My number one is Varsity Blues.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: And it's not that it's the best football movie ever made.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: It's nonsense. It was really made for the kid who
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: were sitting around watching TRL after school, the MTV generation.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: In fact, I think that's who was It was really
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: promoted by it might it might have been produced by MTV.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: But the thing I love about that movie more than anything,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: and of course ri I p Paul Walker rip James Vanderbeek,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: is that John Voight as Coach Kilmer is a top
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: ten movie villain of all time. And if you got
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: a kid, you got like, yeah, yeah, Coach Kilmer. That
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: man will take your scholarship to Brown So he is evil.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, Now, I will tell you Varsity Blues would not
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: have made my list.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, not even a little bit. All right?
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Uh second, well sorry number three because that was number two.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Number three Rudy. Now, I will.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Tell you, Rudy Rudiger in this story. When it first
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: came out, we didn't have all the information. I didn't
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: know that this was a truly fictional story, that people
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: didn't love him like that, they didn't lay out the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: jersey and you know that they take creative liberties. But
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: still the movie was awesome. And it's like wrestling. It
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: is the nless you know the better. The more you know,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: it gets a little tougher. So but even though I
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: still love wrestling to this day, but Rudy, oh my god,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: one of the best quotes of all time you're five
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: foot nothing, one hundred and nothing and now a spec
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: of athletic ability.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: Love it, I am. We're on to number four now, yeah,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: I'm going with an easy one for number four. That
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: is the movie version of Friday Night Lights Permian High
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: School Billy Bob Thornton Taylor kidch you know, was probably
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: my favorite character in the TV version, But you do
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: got to give the Billy Bob Thornton Roy Williams obviously
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: with the appearance in the in the Buzz Bissinger adaptation.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: It's a great movie. Anytime it's on, I will sit
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: through the entire thing. I think there are a lot
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: of better, more entertaining football movies, but this is just
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: because high school football, to me is the purest, most
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: important form of football, like that that you could put
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: those stories out there, So I think there's more entertaining
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: and better, but I think this one is foundational.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I have a confession to make, Ralph, I have a
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: confession to make. I've never seen this movie.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: I've never seen Rudy what I told you, and I
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: have had an idea for his show for a long time.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: We've never done it. First time, long time where I
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: bring you a movie. You bring me in movie, this
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: should be our episode one.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: I like that, dude, I have not so, but I
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: did watch the TV show from beginning to end every
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: episode Friday Night Lights because you told me I needed
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: to watch it. And then sometime during COVID or something
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: like that, I binge watched it and I.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Was like, why didn't I watch this when it was
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: on television?
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: Who's your quarterback? Who's your quarterback? You got? You got?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm talking fully healthy precsitalization. Do you go a Street?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: Or do you over Michael B. Jordan? You don't like Runners,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: you don't like.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Vince Okay, So if Street never gets hurt, then we
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: don't even get a chance to experience Michael B.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: Jordan.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: He's Tom Brady essentially. So I would be stuck with
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: a great Drew Drew Bledsoe until I you know, until
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: something happens.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: Michael B. Jordan would have been after uh, definitely after
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: the graduation of Street. But I don't know if coach
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Taylor moves schools to coach See on the east side.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: But all right, what's what is your what is your
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: number five?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: My number five? See? I got so stuck here, But it's.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: It's okay, I love this movie. Goldie Han is in
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: this movie. Oh my god, Wildcat exactly Wildcats football Wildcats what?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: And we have Wesley Snipes in the movie too. I
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: love the movie Wildcats. It is one hundred underrated football movie.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: It's got comedy, has got some drama, and it's a high.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: School movie just like you like. It's pure unstepped on.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: I can't complain about a movie with Goldie Han as
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: a football coach because one of my favorite basketball movies
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: of all time is Eddie and it's probably the movie
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: I've seen more than any other movie. So it is
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: for me. I don't care anybody in the world can
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: criticize that movie. That I grew up in the Arizona
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: heat in the summer. I went to that movie to
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: get out of the heat I used to. I've seen
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: it twice in one day before in the theater just
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: because I love basketball as a kid and I got
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: to see I mean, who knew Greg Oster Tag would
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: be a movie star like that that had that movie
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: had everybody in it. Yeah, okay, I love that movie,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna complain about yours. But you obviously
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: are gonna complain about mine. Number six. This movie changed
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: my life.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, not is not in.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: A consequential way. But I have never in my life
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: picked up a roll of toilet paper without playing catch
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: Little Giants, Ed O'Neill, Rick Ranis. The toilet paper is
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: for what it's for, but it is also a football toilet.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: That's what you got from Little Giants.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: I got a lot from Little Giants.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: People, you don't remember bull ups with like Icebox and
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: uh dude, Icebox is one of the all time favorite characters.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: And I have never forgotten the most valuable play on
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Little Giants the annexation of Puerto Rico. Absolutely absolutely, and
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: so mind you people, we did not talk about this
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: this list. I know these things from the top of
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: my brain, like these movies were fundamentally etched it.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: I've seen Little Giants. Me and my two sisters.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Have watched that movie so many times that in Cool
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: Runnings are probably the two movies that we watched the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: most growing up.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: All time, Those two movies all time. Good guys, Ed O'Neil,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: John Candy, and Rick moranis and I love Rick Moranis.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: Yep, all right.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: Number seven on the list okay, So I'm happy that
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: you took Little Giants because I was going to put
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: that on the list.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Next one.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many people have seen this movie,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: but it's necessary roughness. Okay, I love necessary roughness. Oh
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: my god, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: Don't throw it to stone hands, Featherstone, dude. And I
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna get a lot of flak because
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: there are.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: There is one.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: I pray to God that you get this on the list,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: because you've already ruined the list with Friday Night Lights.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry you have with Friday Night Lights or no, no,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry with a Varsity Blues.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: So hopefully you get one of these two in there.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: My next one, which I guess so be number eighth,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: is The Replacements.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Oh my, are you talking with Keanu Reeves?
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: With Keanu Reeves and Gen cigarette in the kicker smoking
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: a cigarette. The jailhouse I Will Survive scene is beautiful.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: I actually had I was debating this and another just
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: nonsense football movie with a very very famous actor as
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: a head coach, and I'm curious to see if if
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: that's on on your list, because that also has a
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: song in it that that's pretty viral.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Ralph, we are gonna get absolutely just just be rated
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: for this list because think about what's not on the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: list already. Okay, Brian's song isn't on here.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: Yes song is sad, Yes, and Joint, I'm gonna put
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: that on the list of it movies.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: I liked Yes because it's a great movie. But you
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: can't watch that movie too many times. It's too heartbreaking.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: Any Given Sunday is not on this list yet.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: The program is not on this list. I was just
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: referring to Eddie Given Sunday, Willy.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Beam, and Yes, Jerry McGuire is not on the list yet.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: The Last Boy Scout is not on the list yet.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: Is Jerry maguire a football movie?
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's a love story, it's it's But for
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: my last pick, I'm gonna have to go with.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: Any Given Sunday. It's gotta go on the list number nine.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: It has to be on the list, Like, how can
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: you have a football movie without Willy.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: Beam and the Ladies? I leave him screaming.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: Al Pacino being a head coach? Is I need it?
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: I need it in real life?
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: All right? Uh so last one up?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: You brought it up.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: This is the one that I referenced when I said
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: it might break your rules, and that is Jerry Maguire
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: and why I'm a son devil George.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, see, you pick movies based upon and I'm not
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: mad at your criteria because you're like, these deeply impacted me,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: and I stay true to my roots, So I'm not
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: mad at that. It would be like if we went
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Greatest Football TV Shows and then I put all all
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: American on there because it was created by Spencer Pasinger,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: or if it was.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: Just sports movies in general, and you're like Prefontaine.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you know, you know what, I actually
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: relate to that movie more than the fact that he
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: was an Arizona cardinal and it was on State Sun Devil.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: In the house I grew up in, there was always
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: a line of ants on the wall, like always, we
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: always had ants.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Because it's bad outside. That's why, Okay, what what what
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: got left off the list? That disappoints you?
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Draft day.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of debate on whether or not that's
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: a good movie because.
