• 1:15
  Speaker 2: just doing cool things in the middle of January when
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you're not even playing. Not much, not much to hate
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's that's the best part is that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we we we can do it. And thank you all

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's uh, it's a blessing to be able to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do it, especially here in the season. Good time. We've
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: got the holidays, we got football, you know, we get
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the NFLS divisionals, then you have conference next weekend, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks later we get death Super Bowl.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And as I told y'all last time before, if y'all heard, well,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you'll see some changes coming on the channel over the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: next few weeks. So just keep your eyes open for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that and all of that or whatnot. But besides that,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see why is this disconnect you there
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we go trying to get everything is connected properly. Think
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you got pulling up? Yeah, I just saw Mark Andrews
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: decided to fumble the ball up the wrong time. There's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: been a brutal game for our good friends over at
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: all of our sooners in Baltimore has just not been
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a good game for us today. But besides that, I'm
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: gonna pull this up because there's a purpose for this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: entire conversation and us hanging out today. Do I want
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to use that one? No, we're gonna use this one. Yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we'll do this one because I think this one actually
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: lines up a lot better. Uh see what it looks like?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: There it go? So is that how I want this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to look? Give me a sick Let me adjust.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy while you're adjusting your your settings here, man,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we uh, it's it's it's like, it's what what is
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it that I was watching the Philadelphia game and it
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: was like ten degrees cooler here than it was in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia and it was just like a blizzard.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: There and bananas right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kept on it, you know, kind of catching me
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: off guard. But yeah, this is the only thing I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: like about the snow football is the quickness, the quickness,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and it was you know, you gotta have to be quick,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you got to get the ball out. There's been so
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: many times, you know, in the last two games that
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: there have been uh you know, plays where guys probably
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: make them in uh, you know, in good weather. But
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all right, so I wasted my time, so now we
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: can talk.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: No, I totally agree. It's it's playing football in this
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I've played football in the in the in the blistering
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: cold before, and it doesn't feel good. Nothing about it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: feels good. It doesn't feel good. You get you get hit,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it hurts you. You everything hurts. Everything hurts. And as
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you now saw injury, just come out of it. Just
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the longer the game goes on, the more it hurts.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's just painful, just painful. But like it. Some people
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like it. Some people like it, so people enjoy it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I just yeah, I'm anti cold football. But anyway, we're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: here because we're gonna hang out and we're gonna talk
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about this bad boy, right cheer Rich. Is the twenty
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: twenty five schedule, of course, the uh, the SEC released it,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and we've got this beautiful specimen in front of us. Actually,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to adjustice a little bit, I think I want to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: add the chat to it. It'll be all right, though,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but you can you can see we've got a nice
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: reveal of the schedule. You've got you know, Illinois State, Michigan.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We travel to Temple, which is gonna be a fascinating game.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Auburn Kent State, then red River and all your you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your next set of SEC matchups, your second layer, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: guess first layers Auburn, which is a solo act right
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: before a bye week. I thought that was kind of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: funny that they just kind of put Auburn right there
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and into a bye week in there and gave us
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Kent State, which gets so many people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Double before Texas a double bide before tex You have
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a boy. You let this defensive staff basically play in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: for two weeks against first time starter Archie bro.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The Texas people were mad about that. They were pretty upset.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I'd like to listen texts complain about the schedule for
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: several hours at a time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Because they have because they traveled to the swamp right
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: before they play against but.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: The resurgent Gators, resurgent Gators.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: The resurgent Gators. You get Billy Nate Piers Gators out there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So let's go. Let's start, all right, first game of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the season. I mean, of course, it's pretty simple. We've
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: got Illinois Statelloise State Redbirds is their team. Who was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: their schedule for twenty twenty five? Do they have this up?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: How did they do last season? Who are you seeing
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Illinois State. I'm gonna go to the standings real quick
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: so I can see. I want to compare how they
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: did last year to this year. I had some of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this stuff written down and I just did not grab it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So we will work with what we're working with. They
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: begin the year. See last year, where are.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They while you're taking a look at that. Every time
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I look at Illinois State, I have said that we
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: were playing ball state week one about thirty seven times.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I know, right. Yeah, they were ten and four last year,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as they are a FCS school, ten and four last season,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: which you can't beat that. No. Ten and four, six
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and two in conference out of Mississippi, Missouri Valley Football Conference,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Missouri Valley. So we cooked them, boys, we have a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: chance of cooking them.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's listen, man, I'm just saying, it does not
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: matter what last year was. It doesn't matter this. I mean,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: this is Oklahoma. Yeah, we had a struggle on offense.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: We've made wholesale changes, Like, it does not matter what
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Illinois State's schedule was last year, two years, twenty twenty one,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. Like you need to go out there
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and just I mean, that's that's one where you roll
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: out sixty by half and you know, head inside and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: start getting ready for the following week.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Even if it's a FCS school, you should have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to destroy film by x me at touchdowns. Next game,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go right into it. Michigan Michigan is very
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: intriguing because Michigan has a lot of changes football schedule
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and Michigan depth chart. Because Orgy is over at uh
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: U n LVA. That's one quarterback gone.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Davis Warren was the other quarterback and he transferred. He
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: was the walk on right and I can't did he
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: transfer somebody somewhere? He tours a He tours a c
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: L in the bowl game.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he was done anyway, there was no there
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was no playing for him.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah there.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jaden, who was one of their transfer quarterbacks
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: has gone. It was the other one is Jaydon Davis
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: if I'm correct, as the other quarterback that they had.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this game is done for the Ravens.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Well, unless they pull somebody in the spring transfer portal
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that is going to walk in and probably start. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: mean you're looking at the five star freshman Underwood, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: from Michigan starting at quarterback and for us.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That's extremely favorable. You would want a true freshman starting
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Week two on the road against your defense, Yeah, you do. Now,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Davis was a Jayden Davis was a four star prospect,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: top top one hundred. He's only twelfth in the country,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the number nine quarterback in the nation in his class
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. So you've got him that's coming in,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and then you've also got a you got the five
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: star quarterback in Underwood. Question is which one of those
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is gonna win the job? Now, Jayde Davis. You know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in defense of him, he had a lot of schools
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: after in Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, right, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: We were in the sweepstakes for him too. Like, there
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: was a lot of teams after him. So it wasn't
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: one of those situations where you're dealing with a guy
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that hasn't that nobody wanted. This was not that. This
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: was one of those he was thought after. I wonder
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: if he wins, it's.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna have the opportunity and they play
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: New Mexico. I believe it is their first game of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the season, so they'll get a nice little tune up there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: It's a I mean, also, don't forget this. They're gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: be coming to Norman, Oklahoma on September sixth, and it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: gonna be hot. It's gonna be hot, and.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Playing in the South, it's gonna be hot.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's uh, you know something that if we
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: return the favor and have to go up there late
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in the year, that's something that you know, we get
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a little little payback there. But yeah, I mean it's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it's uh, you know, you're you're gonna have a good
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you know, they lose some big defensive guys, uh to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: uh they live the big defensive linemen, they lose defensive
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: backs and safeties. I mean, they're gonna have a lot
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of changes too. Now they've done good on recruiting even
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you know this twenty twenty four class. But again, you know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: how can you infuse that much talent immediately? Uh, they
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: did some good work in the portal, so you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: but this is this is one that you know, where
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the programs are at. You know, this is one however,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking if it's oh, you going to Michigan, That's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: where I'm saying, like, hey, you got to go out
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: there and prove something. I mean, this is one that
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: if you're Oklahoma, this is one that you need to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: win home because you know, I saw Sooner Cowboys said
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it earlier. This kind of tells you what your year
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: is gonna look like because you're not you're not facing
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a daunting challenge in week two.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is definitely one where I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the Michigan game is the good best determining factor for
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the season. And we'll do more. Of course, we'll do
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: another deep dive in the summer whenever we actually get
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: an idea of who is who's coming back for both
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for for you know, the program, especially the spring portal,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: spreme portal will probably be your your biggest determiner of
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what everything's going to look like. So we'll we'll focus
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: on right now and then we'll we'll we'll break down
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: more of that later. But their offensive line is pretty
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: young now. They grabbed a couple of them players out
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of the transfer portal, actually grab one intern inter your
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman, some d lineman, some safeties. So they got
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys from Arkansas. They got the metcalf
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: brothers at safety. They did get Justin Hayes from ARC
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and from Alabama to running back Damien Payne on the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: d line, Trey Williams from Clemson. You know, they added,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: They've added some pieces, and then they got Mikey Keenan
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Kenny is their other quarterback and he's a quarterback from
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Fresno State, so they may actually have a little bit
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of a veteran presence there. Coop. Yeah, but I guess
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the question is gonna be because when I looked at
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: their depth chart, they've got a few upperclassmens still on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the line, but a lot of red shirt freshmen and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: freshmen outside of that, Like, they got a lot of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: young players going into next season. So for them, it's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be all about making sure that these wide receivers
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they get in is transferred, can go ahead and compete
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and take jobs because they kind of need it, especially
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Donovan McCully. You know, the wide receiver was after from
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Indiana that we had questions about. Yeah, they got a lot,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So Week two there's a lot of questions. Week three
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we traveled to Temple. Temple was bad, they fired and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Drayton the head coach there. So I'm not even concerned
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: about that game, would be honest. Flye of Philadelphias. Gonna
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: be fun. But they they're doing a lot of changes,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what they look like on their refresh.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But then you got Auburn coming to town, and Coop,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued by this game. Who's gonna be the quarterback?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Give your first heat at quarterback?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: He sure as hell hope that what you paid for.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold. You can fix whatever his ills are and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you know, put him out there. And because they brought
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in two guys, right, they brought in somebody else at
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: quarterback too.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But Ashton Daniels the quarterback from Stanford.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, and he's old. If you're I mean, if you're
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold, listen, man, this is something where you're probably
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in the in the portal again next year, going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: ball State or something like that. You know, with if
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: you don't, if you don't manage that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Oh the illusion, Am I gone? I can't hear you, Coop?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I think with us, Coop, he done broke something, hit him,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: beat somebody up and lost it. But no, yeah, you've
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: got the depth chart. There is gonna be intriguing, if anything,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: because am I y'all can hear y'all can't hear me, y'all,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: can hear me? Can you hear me? Let me unmute myself. Okay,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I can hear me. Coop is gone. Now we just
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: lost Coop. All right, something must have just connected on
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: his side his music mike'smuta. But we can really Thanks Lemon,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that perfect y'all? Can hear me? How can
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you continue to top throw it as we wait for
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Coop to make his value and return. I'm looking at
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Auburn's depth now. The big thing with them is man
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver room is gonna be really good for Auburn.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They've added a ton at the wide receiver room. I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like the Singleton Junior pick up. I think he's probably
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: one of the better pickups that you get out of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the portal from Georgia Tech. That was huge. That was
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a huge pickup for them. Let me switch this to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: just me while we wait for Coop to get back there.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He is now, I can hear you, I think, all right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: hear me, Yeah, we can. I one if someone got
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: unplugged or something, or just Internet was acting weird.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Something to that extent.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll go with.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It with with with Auburn Ian. If you're Jackson, you
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: got to win that job because I mean, you're going
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to be transferring if you can manage that. I mean
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: the kid from Auburn, I mean kid from Stanford. You
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: know that that's that's a breaking case of emergency if
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: like Jackson doesn't turn out.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: So another quarterback behind him is too is what uh
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: dooce night.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: If he shows up campus, I don't see why he
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: wouldn't we just until until he's there. You gotta shut you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what you're doing. But you do
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: have some options at quarterback. You know obviously if if
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: if you hear that there's a big quarterback battle, you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: let's again, let's wait and see what it looks like
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: on the field, because I mean, at that point you
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: got to think that Auburn, we're gonna have a good
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: idea what they kind of are. You know, in Auburn
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: early in the season, they can always do some really
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: really fishy things and you know, like it was to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: New Mexico at home, so you know, there's there's there's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: a lot to a lot to go on there. But
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just say this is is I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: think many very many people are going to see Jackson
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Arnal as the starter and be scared you know here
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: now unless he turns things around and really gets to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you know, being what we thought he would end up being. So,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: but there's just a lot of stuff that he did here,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: from just not seeing things to you know, at times
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: making great plays and at times just making some of
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the most simple things just look absolutely just terrible, terrible, terrible, uh,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: you know, terribly hard. So it's gonna be an interesting
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: game because he's got some He's got the receivers to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: throw to there.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. He's got some weapons. That's they I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: mean they've added I think that Eric Singleton pick up
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to go with Cam Coleman huge for what Auburn's gonna
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: be trying to do. So, but two quarterbacks you've got.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I don't really see any big threats in the portal pickups,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And I mean they ain't got very many. They got
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they got a lot of young backs, but they're gonna
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: be working with so we'll get to see what that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: looks like. I don't I this should be a way
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: with the crib. Yeah, should be a way with the crip.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: The question is going to be the pressure and Kennedy
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: be handled. And we all know that Hugh Freeze as
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a tendency of making decisions that we all question. That's
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: just kind of his game, that's kind of his membo. Right,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And so you go on from ther next game the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: bye week, how do you think we can fare in
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that bye weekop? I'm a little nervous.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you got bye week number one and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: you got bye week number two. You know, Kent State
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: was one of the worst teams in college football last year,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and so I mean, at this point, you're hoping that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: in the bye week you get to really shore up everything. Typically,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: this is where you see, you know, about four or
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: five games DS where you see the offensive line usually
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: start to take a steps. You know, when you're playing
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: with a fully healthy unit, you're gonna you're gonna have
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Texas on your mind. And so it's about keeping uh,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: keeping each day in front of you at that point
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: in the bye weekend in a Kent State game, because
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get your chance at Texas and you just
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: got to do the right things. Get yourself healthy, whatever
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: nix and dings and bruises that you have, you know,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: get working on those things.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the wide receiver that lit us up at
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Auburn was uh ke Andre Lambert Smith, Lambert Smith, Lambert
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Smith one s Lamber Smith's senior. He was, okay, yeah,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he's a transfer. He's a transfer. I can't think it
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: was the what was the school that he came from,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: but he transferred in Penn State. They gets cres for
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Penn State. One of the mini pen Sate wide receivers
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that transfer because they're not getting catches or passes thrown
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to them. Extremely fascinating phenomenon if you if you ask
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: me myself, that was that's just wild to me. But
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: he's gone. It's now all of basically cam Coleman and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: now Eric Singleton is going to be their other probably
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: primary wide out with some of the young other freshmen
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that they have with Malcolm Simmons, Bryce Kane, Perry Thompson,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: et cetera.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Simmons is what I was thinking about.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yah Simmons is the other wis. Yeah, he got a
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: couple of catches as well. But Ken say, yeah, the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: bye week makes me nervous. I'm curious to see how
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that goes. But then, of course Kent State was one
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the game in college football
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: last year. So I think we should be fine there.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But then you're right. Then you got red River. Red
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: River is going to be interesting this year. And it's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: because with red River, the question is what is Texas.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got your starting quarterback coming back, you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: lose a good crop of wire of Lineman. Bank's gone,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you got combing, Cameron Wilson gone, Maker Majors is gone,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Hayden Connor is gone. So now it's all these young
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: boy young pups moving up. Gooseby gets out there as
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a race shirt top one. He played a little bit
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: last year, and he appears that any people liked.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What he did, he took up with anytime Banks went
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: down or anytime man I was it Kim Williams, was
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: it Williams?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kim Williams, Yes.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I mean they're going to be replacing quite
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: a bit, and I promise you this. I looked at
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: everything they had to replace this past year, and that's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: where I thought Texas was going to have a really
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: big struggle. What I didn't expect was some of those
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: smaller wide receivers to turn out to be big time playmakers.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And and so you know, arch is going to have
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Arch is going to have some receivers, and he's going
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to have to move around, so that mobility is going
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: to come and use for him. You know. I think
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: this is why you see that they made a very
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: very very strong run at FSUSI was because they need
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: somebody to come in there. They needed to happen. And
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: now that being said, I mean, their trajectory at this
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: point still has been more true than ours. So you
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: handle your business and you go out there with the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: opportunity of winning that game to win that game, not
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to pay back for last year, not to do anything else,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: just win that game, to win that game.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Yep. And they lost I mean defensive lyad he lost
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: with three defensive linemen. Oh, you lose three in the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: secondary mainly you bring back your linebackers. I think Trey
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Moore is coming back, so they got their edge back.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You're losing. Yeah, you lose about two or three in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the secondary.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Mccooba, I would say, mccouba's probably gone, right, he.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Was already gone. He already announced. Mccoob's announced the draft.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And today Baron is.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Gone John A. Baron, Muhammad uh Taffy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Hobbins a sophomore, Hammon's a sophomore. Hope he comes back
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I know Taffy has said that he's coming back. He
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: is their safety to walk on, and I'm pretty sure
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that I'm pretty sure that I was. You know, there's
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of people wanting a crack at him,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you know, because he's he's played played out of his
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: mind and he's done really, really well. But yeah, they're
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: gonna have a lot to replace again, and I don't
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: The spring portal is gonna have to be hot for them,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna be spending in that spring portal.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna be very big because only
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: brought any four transfers. And you know, we talk about classes.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Cool to have the top class, but they're all true freshman.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: You don't want them to play like You're not gonna
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: run into any teams that are cool with playing a
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of freshmen. That's like, that's like the one
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: thing you don't want to do as a program's play
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a bunch of freshmen. So but yep, they'll be active
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: in the spring portal. Only having four transfers so far,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: we'll see what that looks like they brought in a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman with Travis Schaffman North Carolina. You've got Cole Brevert,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: another defensive lineman, the one from Purdue, and the linebacker
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Brad Spence from Arkansas's transfer again, and then they got
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a punter. Ten transfers out. It's always cracks me up
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to Celia Conna. So Celia kinda went to back home
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to b Yu. Yeah, he's a lot small enough. Thought
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: he was gonna be too. It's only still two hundred
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and twenty pounds.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had. I think him and Darius Affolovar are
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: still good friends. And last time I talked to Darius
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: about that, he I guess he did a little bit
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of a back injury early in the year and just
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: try you know again, you know what it's like to
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: have a back injury like you just it shuts down
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: a pretty much everything. And so yes, you know, he
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: had a little bit more opportunity to play late in
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the year. Kind of think of like an autry dent
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: for us, somebody who has hurt for you know, a
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: good amount and was right there on the cusp of
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you know, getting some good playing time.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yep. But what it is so yeah, moving there. Next game,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: we've get South Cara lineup. That one to me is
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be an intriguing one. Two they're bringing back a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: lot if we really think about it. Oh yeah. By
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the way, in Texas game, Texas has from Florida is
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: who they had coming. I was trying to I was,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I was searching it. I was like, and they just
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: gave me a brain part. That Florida at the swamp
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: right before they play us, which we talked about before.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Texas is pretty pissed off. It was like, how do
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: we got how do we have such a tough schedule
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: before all the big games this year? Why is it
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: so hard for us? Because their bye week is the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: twentieth in which we're playing against Auburn. They got Sam
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Houston State, they traveled to Florida and then Oklahoma, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they traveled to Lexington, traveled to Mississippi State and then Vanderbilt.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a tough that's six games.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Well, in South Carolina they got LSU the week before
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: playing US, so we'll be playing Texas. They'll be at
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: this at LSU.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yep, it's gonna be interesting. Gonna be interesting, all right.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: At Carolina, Jaye, the so so, I mean the South
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Carolina this is going to be I mean, this is
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: one of those games to where you know, last year
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it was over before even you had a chance to
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: do anything. And you know, they they didn't have their
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: way with our offensive line. They basically I don't think
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: they could have called a first quarter or maybe a
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: first you know, maybe three drives. I don't think could
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: they could have called the defense you know, scripted it
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: up and it would have been as as ugly as
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: it was in real life. And so you're going to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: have to I mean they're gonna absolutely have to, I mean,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: get together this offensive line. They need to know who
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: they are at this game because if you're still shuffling
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: some guys around and trying to find the right fit,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: South Carolina is gonna make you pay. The thing I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: do wonder about South Carolina, though, Jay, is you know
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you you had no expectations last year at all, none none. Now, yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: you went out and you spent some good money. South Carolina,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I mean could have had a better record in a
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: better year than they actually ended up. You know, they're
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: a couple of you know, bad situations against Alabama from
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: winning that game. I think there was one other game
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that they lost that I mean again, same same exact situation.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They LSU and maybe A and M. Maybe A and M.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: But but LA, I mean, South Carolina is a very
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: good team. They didn't just beat us because our offense
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: line was bad. I mean they literally were a good team,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and they bring a lot of that back. H Leonora
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Sellers is gonna be back those wide receivers. That running
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: game is gonna be pompent again. It's gonna be a
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: tough game. That might be one of the toughest ones
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: on our schedule.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree that the LSU lost
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the Old miss loss, the Alabama loss. That's when they
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: lost back to back games, and then they starting with US.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They went undefeated for the rest of the season up
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: into the bowl game. So they started the year off.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, they started year off three and three, and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that was when everybody's asking questions, okay, because Beam are
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: gonna lose his job, blah blah blah. And then they
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: rid a lot from going three and three and finished
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: nine and three. He won six straight games US A
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and M coming to town, traveling to Vanderbilt, Missouri and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: then they beat Clemson to close the season. Now they finish,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you're good.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: And they were. I mean they were one of the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: first two teams out with old miss like he know,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: as far as being in the playoff too, and you
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: know they were they were actually hot. So do they uh,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: you know, do they show out and you know, have
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: a have a better showing than a couple of the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: other SEC teams. I mean, you don't, you don't know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: but they are a good team. And I still think
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: that since that's on the road, that's probably the hardest
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: game on our schedule next year.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Agree. Uh, And I've I heard, I've heard nothing but
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: challenges when it comes to traveling out there. So William
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: was William Brice? Yeah, I heard it's it's a stadium
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that is not easy to play in.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: And I know that I don't want to be the
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: negative nancy here too, But if next year doesn't go
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: how we expect it is U is that the is
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: that you know it does a whooping to as you
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: know South Carolina. Uh, make Shane Beemer potentially the you know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: first name to be talked about as the next head
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: coach at Oklahoma. So just pay attention now, I don't
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: expect us to be in that situation. But again, that's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: it's right after Texas, you know, we it's not like
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: you can you know, look ahead, you know, you know
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the week before so and it's it's not like we've
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: got an easy assignment to next week either.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Nope, because the next week is Old Miss coming to town. Now.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: The thing with Old Miss their schedules interesting because right
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: before us, they're playing back to back road games. They
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: they host Washington State on the October eleventh, they travel
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to Georgia and play the play the Bulldogs, and then
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: travel to Oklahoma right afterwards. So back to back weeks
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: they are on the road at two pretty intimidating stadiums.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: That is gonna be interesting to see how Ole mishandles
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that with a new quarterback, because if I'm correct, it's
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be what Simmons for.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Probably Simmons at this point, they really do like him.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: He's a guy you know who has been patient waiting.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: So four two fifteen. Uh, he will be a true
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: sophomore out of Miami, Florida. So I mean this is
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: a cat who he'll.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Gipped two grades, he skipped two greates.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And so you know, is that maturity ready to rock?
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Is that going to be? Is he gonna be ready?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: And you know, again, time will tell, We'll see.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm wondering. I mean, he looked good when
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: he played. He looks good. They brought in twenty two transfers.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a third year they're gonna bring
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: game probably one of the larger transfer classes in the country.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm you know, I'm wondering. It's you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: we saw them kind of fail, you know when it
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: comes time to grind. You know, the Murk teams are
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the ones that I still have a lot of, you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: pessimism towards. Now. I'm you know, eating crow on one
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: of them because the other one that I said I
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: didn't think was gonna do anything is playing for the
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: National Championship Game.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: You know that.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: So you know that's gonna be It's gonna be something
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: to to really pay attention to. Is how does the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: culture continue to go because, uh, let's be honest, Lanes
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Lane's a pretty exciting guy and everything, but you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: he's he's not known as the most disciplinarian you know
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: out there, and but you know, they they they really
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: made last year look harder than it needed to be. Uh,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: there's no way they should have even i mean been
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: in the spot that they were with us. You know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: there's no reason why we should have had a lead
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: at halftime. You know, we all started to kind of
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: believe there for for half a minute.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: And Uh.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: But so the new quarterback, it's going to be Austin Simmons.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be later in the year. You know, you
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: can't say that he's brand new, ready to rock. Thank god,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: this is that, this is at the crib.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is three yeah, three years in a row.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: If they have had at least twenty transfers and been
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the top two transfer destination in the country, they were,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: you know, they were second behind Colorado based on two, four,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: seven and twenty three they were second. They were number
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: one in twenty four with twenty six transfers, and now
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: so far in this cycle they are sitting at twenty
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: two transfers, in which I think that is currently as
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: we sort they are as far as total go, they
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: are what's that seventh? Because West Virginia, you know, all
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: these schools that had coaching changes have a higher course
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: turn over ratio except for Mississippi State, they're right above them,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but they're ranked number two in the portal as far
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: as transfer, so we'll see.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It's and again this is you know, we're gonna be
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: playing six first time quarterbacks Michigan, Auburn, Texas, US Ole,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: miss and Missouri, and we get four of those guys
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: at home. This will be the second the last one.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: You know, again, you want to protect the house like
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: that's that's something this year that it was tough to
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: do with no offense, but if you have an offense
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: with a pulse, you want to protect the crib. And
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I don't see a game on our schedule at in
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Norman that really is super bothersome Yeah, next up.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Tennessee. So at this point, Koop, how many wins do
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you think we could have best case scenario in worst
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: case scenario? Actually, you just do Tennessee first and it
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: will stop at the bye week and giving best in
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: worst case scenario. As far as what we've got, so
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is up. Tennessee so far has brought in a
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: quiet three transfers. Yeah, I'm sorry what they had brought
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in three transferred to have eighteen players leave out so.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Far, you know, last year they got heard and he
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: was the big, big transfer portal addition for them. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: think that one that's not included is the the Mitchell
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: is the Mike Mitchell is the receiver from Tennessee younger
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: K Matthews. Okay, so he didn't leave. They retained him,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: and that was a big one. I mean, that's kind
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: of about the same thing as us, you know, keeping
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: an arm Mason Thomas or a Grayson Halton type of situation.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: You know, that's big for them because I believe Squirrel's gone,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Thornton is graduated. So I mean they're bru McCoy. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: don't think he gets he's he's returning.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: He's got one more year left. Yes, he's got his
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: fourteenth season, which actually COVID kids will he's getting. He's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: got a he's got one more year. He hit this
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: COVID season. He's gonna use this will be the last
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: year COVID guys. Then, but they got Brazzell is back,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: braswe will be back. Thornton is gone, You're right, Mike
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Matthews did come back. Squirrel whites out, they got Braylen's
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: stay lead of true freshmen is still there and Snead.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Then you got your offensive line. You know, they've got
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: three seniors walking out the door. That's expected.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: They they lose, they lose the running back, but they
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: got the Duke running back the other day in the
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Samson they still.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Got DeAndre Deshaun Bishop. He was really good. Him and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Peyton Lewis were actually pretty good. But they did get
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: that transfer running back from Duke, which is Star Thomas,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: which that just recently happened.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say, like last week, yep.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And then Amari Jefferson in the wide receiver from Alabama.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: That's switching side of the rivalry. And yes, Dylan Samson's gone.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: He's he's going to the league. He's not coming back.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's I mean, he's gonna These running backs,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, you just you got to hope that, like
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you are sparingly used your freshman year, you show out
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: your you know, sophomore year, your second year or whatever,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you get help your junior year, and you can go
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: to the NFL with essentially one good solid season on
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: your body. Because I mean, let's just be honest, it's
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: you're running into three hundred pound guys who are just
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: as fast as you and you know, stronger than you
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: every single play. And that's just tough. It's just tough
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: on these running backs and in the league no longer
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: values them like they used to. So I mean, if
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: you're a running back, you need to bounce when you
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: can and find whatever path you can. I mean, if
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: you need to be like all mister Smasha p Ryan.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I know I said this before, but I mean, I
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: don't think any of us had him playing as the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: third down back role in the NFL. He was at Oklahoma,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: So brew is vested in college football. Mark, you are
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent correct. That is pretty funny too. But yeah,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: it's uh, it's gonna be. It's gonna be. It's gonna
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: be interesting because at this point last year, Jay, we
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: were saying we got Tennessee at a good time in
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: the year because we catch him early. Now, like I
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: think Nico has a ton to prove this year, and
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: this is by this point, if he's nicked up, he
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: is going to you know, it's going to be a
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: big deal. Uh, you know, we're gonna know who he
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: is by this time that that year. I'm not as
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm not as sold on that being as
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: tough as it as I thought it might end up
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: being at this point last year, I think it's a
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: little bit more of a winnable, winnable game. But you're
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: still going to Leland, You're still going up to you know, Knoxville.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: It is crazy up there. We've been up there before.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: You got to play a game on both sides of
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: the ball to make that to to make that a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: w So it's gonna be a tough game. And again,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I think Nico is going to be tied to a
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: lot of these quarterbacks. He's going to be one of
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: the best returning quarterbacks in the league, and so people
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: are gonna have eyes on him every single week making
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: sure that you know, he's hitting that three hundred passing mark.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of times this past year, Tennessee fans,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I encountered a ton of them on
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Twitter this year. I got got you know, got pretty
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: close with you know, exchanging information. They thought they had
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: a good year, but they thought it was gonna be bigger.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: They thought it was gonna be better. And and Nico
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: needs to he needs to show out because right now
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I would say that you know, he's probably not what
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: we thought he might be not as good. He can
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: still be that. I'm not saying that he will not,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I know that that you are a huge
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Nico guy, and I know that Tennessee for both of
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: us is kind of a you know, got a special
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: place in our hearts. But man, it's it's it's that's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: gonna be a fun game to go to. You're going
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: to that one, right?
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm going to Knoxville for that one. Definitely
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: gonna have that on my calendar. Places. I've been to
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Knaxsville a couple of times. Love going to Nayland Stadium's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: beautiful stadium. Raymond. No, Nico has not entered the transfer portal.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Nico is at Tennessee now, the rumors can continue to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: be spread that he's gone, but until he officially hits
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that portal, can't say a word for me to believe
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: that he's actually gone. But this is a tough part
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: for Tennessee, though. This is this is this is what
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at. Here is their schedule. They've got Arkansas
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: coming to town, which is fine, but they traveled a
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa for the third Saturday in October rivalry game. Big
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Then they traveled to Kentucky, which is always a physical
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: game for everybody. Everybody talks about how physical that game is.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It is, and then they have us come to town.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: So two back to back road games against physical teams.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: These are quote unquote rivalry too. Alabama is a rivalry
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Kentucky kind of as a pseudo ritary, right, so it's
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: like a border rivalry.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: It's a Bourbon trail rivalry exactly.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: But then they have Oklahoma come to town afterwards. That Jay,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: the blessing we've seen in our schedule in comparison to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: last year is we are like every other week traveling
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: and going home. Keep that in mind.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: That's huge, Hey, Jay, pull up that that. Remember who
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: the quarterback at Kentucky is this year. It's the transformer.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be Malik Murphy. So they get to go
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: to Alabama, who's starting a newer guy is most likely
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be run, run heavy. They're gonna lean on that
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: running game, and so you you're gonna have a nice
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: physical trenches war there. The next week you go to
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Kentucky and Malik Murphy is not a West Coast quarterback.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: I mean he is going to be moving around and
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to take on a two hundred and
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: fifty pounds quarterback running around. Then you go come to
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Norman and based off of kind of what I'm hearing,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be a fast offense.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: So you get to get beat up for two weeks
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: and then come to us to attract me.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So you got that.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: So that's something to keep in mind on the way
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: that they built this roster is what they're going to
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: prepare for them. Like I said, the beauty of our
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: schedule is that we don't have back We have back
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: to back road games coop, but it's after a bye week.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, I am absolutely wrong. I'm absolutely wrong. Wellek Murphy
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: went to Oregon State. I started saying that, and the
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: it was gone.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Kentucky picked up. Let me pull up Kentucky's transfers.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: They got Mensa, Darien Mensa.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: They got no. He went to Duke. Mensa went to Duke.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Duke went okay, So I'm trying to read this is
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: going well for me.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: All these blues schools you keep picking.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Mensa went to might be Quinn eures, might be Quinn yours.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: That is hilarious. Uh, they got a Zach Kyle Zada.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Oh from Oregon State. No, from Louisville. No, sorry, cardeate word.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: He came from the carnate word. But they've brought in
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen transfers so far.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: In Kentucky Vandergriff, Brock. Vandergriff retired from football.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: He did, Brock retired. J. J. Hester is there at Kentucky.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: So they got themselves, you know that, him and Kendrick Law.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: They got a lot. They picked up nineteen transfers so far.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: She she didn't think can pick up that many players.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they cleaned out because they had twenty three
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: players leave. And then Brock Vandergriff retired from the game
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: because it just was not working out for him in
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: his ability. So yeah, Brock retired. They got Zach Kyle
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Zada as their starting as their quarterback.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, And if I'm not mistaken, and because I mean obviously,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I have no damn clue what I'm talking about. Okay,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: didn't Calzada start at A and M. I think years ago?
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, Calzada was an A and M guy before, Is
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: that right? Yep?
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: See, if I mean you gotta check, you gotta fact
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: check me. Somebody about I'm fact checking you as we speak.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, A and M transfer there you go, and
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: car Jennap, thank you very much. Yeah, okay, so see
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Yep text A and M Auburn and then incarnate word.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: He was at Auburn for a year.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: So it just he's not Yeah, he's not completely terrible.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: But I mean, let's be honest. Uh, the last I
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: may I mean, I may show my ass on this one,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: but the last Kentucky quarterback that was really good was
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the three hundred pound guy. Right.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's Levis right. He got drafted.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: He did get drafted locker, So did the locker. So
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: did Jimmy Clawson, Tim Couch. So listen, if you go
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: to Browns, it's you're exempted. It has nothing to do
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: You get drafted by the Browns, you get you get
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: exempt Yeah. Jared God, what was his name for Kentucky,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Jared Lorenzen. Ah. He was like he was like two
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five pounds.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, the big boy. He was a mos five.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, I want to say that he
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: ended up like he ended up having like some you know,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: mental depression and stuff, you know, I think, but he
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: played in the UFL and he played in the Canadian
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Football League, and I think he was I mean, I
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: think at one.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Point he told him the hefty lefty.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hefty lefty and he got close to four hundred
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: pounds before, like, you know, start working on his life.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: So but but anyway, I I I.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Just RP to the heftie lefty.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: That's that Kentucky game. It does not matter who the
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: quarterback is that they literally just they are the definition
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: of They'll just lean on you for an entire game
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: and you have to earn it. It is. It is
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: like it's like the old Bill Snyder Kansas State teams,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: like even if they weren't good, you couldn't just roll
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: in and just check boxes and walk out with the
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: W like you had to earn every single W.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, you have to earn every single thing that's
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: going in front of you. And that's you got to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate a team that's willing to play that hard. And
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: so now we hit the bye week. Coop at this point,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: what best case, worst case scenario and the worst case
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: not being all losses because we're not gonna lose every game.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: We're not even gonna lose every conference game. That's gonna
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: be easy.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, your best case is undefeated. My realistic
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: best case at this point is is one loss.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: That's my best case too. I don't see it's going undefeated.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: One loss to me is the best case scenario in
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: all of this.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: You're my realistic at this point is two losses. At
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: this point, I think, I think South Carolina is just
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: gonna be really, really damn daunting. And I think that
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: one of the UT's gets us, and I mean I would,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: And this.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Is barring injury. We're doing this barring injury, and we're
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: doing it early, doing barring injury super Earl January.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, guys, and I'm just saying again, if you
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: have I mean just a I mean not like a
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: shitty offense or horrible offense, if you just have a offense.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: This team's eight and four.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: This past year. Yeah. So I think that's what a
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize, is that if your team
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: is just your offense is just blob. And we're not
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: dealing with what we were dealing with last year, the
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: revolving door of injuries at only two positions, offensive line
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: and wide receiver, mainly wide receiver. You're eating four two ado.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: You get two more wins out of there. You probably
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: feel with the small game, but you get two more wins.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: All you need is you don't need to be giving
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the ball back as soon as you CAUs a turnover
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: back to back times. That to me is a win.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: That's your game. You won. I mean, Uri, that's your
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: game you won.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: We all saw Jackson Arnold, we all saw Jackson Darnol
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: and what Materir was able to do that Jackson could
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: not do to lesser competition. Yes, So if the argument
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: is like, yeah, but who was it against for Matier, well,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: remember like we still went one for twelve against Temple
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: on third downs. We couldn't live in Houston. We got
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: extremely lucky. I mean we may have beat Houston because
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: of the bad punt punt call where it touched him.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: So jack won against jack one against crap, crap competition,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: and Mattier was just I mean, it was just balling
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: on it. So he's never had the talent. They sad.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: He's also had a very very bad offensive line. I
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: mean he got sacked thirty one times. So we know that, like,
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: if your offensive line gets some stuff slowly together, he's
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: going to be able to know where to get the
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: ball out. And this offense moves fast, he moves fast. Now,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: so barring injuries, Yeah, I mean, I do think at
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: this point, I think that we probably have two losses.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Go for it right here, we have competent offense. We
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: win versus Ole Miss Tennessee and mid Zoo because we
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: were up at the half against Ole Miss. Yea, I
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: remember that, right, Yeah, I don't know if y'all remembered
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: that part. We were up at the half. The competence
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: of the offense just disappeared in the second half. Heck,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: we went forward in the red zone and we should
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: just winn to kick the field go we've been up
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: even more points. But I'm just by pointing out defensit
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: their job. The offense we got all right, Next, worst
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: case scenario.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, worst case, I say.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Five wins and what's that four?
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Four losses. That's what I'm saying to five.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Five and four is your worst case, and that's losing
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: to Michigan, that's losing to both UT's, and that's losing
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: well actually probably losing your four conference games. Because I
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: don't think we lose to Auburn. I'm sorry, and I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: don't actually think we lose to Michigan either. No, we
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: could easily go into red River five and zero, we
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: could easily win red River.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah it listen again, if you have a just a
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: not good offense, you're eight and four last year, like
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: I expect this offense to be pretty good, you know,
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: and from the early testing numbers again not a big
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: fan of underwear Olympics and everybody you know, projecting based
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: off of you know, some jacked up intensity testing. But
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: these guys that have came in and you know, some
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: of these receivers already, like I'm here in the skill
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: set is there, like it's very good, and we don't
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: and I just look at look at Golden for Texas,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: like that guy did not have his name attached to
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: any all conference, any awards or anything like that, and
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: he he showed up and just did great things. And
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: so you don't need these receivers to come in. And
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: we don't need a fifteen hundred yard receiver to come
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: in with his transfer portal or with you know, Jayden
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Gibson coming back or Berk's coming back. You just need
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who can go out and get
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: somewhere between four hundred and eight hundred yards. And this
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: is going to be a you know, myterier's gonna throw
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: for four thousand yards.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Yep, and it's funny. So you know you got Troy
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Evertt came back from that that catastrophic knee injury in
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: springball terrible and he looked really good when he got
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: back out there on the field. Amazing, right, you know
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: how good training staff can get you taken care of.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I love that he posted picture and thanking the training staff,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: you know, after that surgery because he had knee was bad,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: and then he came back and he's probably one of
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: our better offensive linemen the rest of the season once
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: he got back in the game. Love that we'll get
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: more of that. I gotta do is get a hoop
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: of some more dudes healthy. And the best part too,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Gentry Williams comes back and he's about half of what
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: he normally is. I mean, the biggest thing is probably
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: won't be able to tackle, but he'll be able to defend.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Especially all right, last last, last last three games, travel to.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Guys. I'm not ready to call Alabama. It's I think
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: it's Tybern Hibernation time. I felt it going into the year.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I think that this is I don't even think it
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: has anything to do against Abor. I just think that.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Think about it. When we were kids, and I'm going
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: for everybody who's thirty five plus, When you were kids
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and you were acting nonsense and dad came into the room,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: he straightened up pretty quick. Right, you hit a lot
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: and Dad left and you could get a little bit
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: more nonsense. When Nick Saban left, the Saban discount went
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: away with him. I think just that attention to detail.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: I think that disciplinarian. You know, you were scared because
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: you didn't want to be the guy. Listen, you were
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: not going to win any argument me versus Nick Saban.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Didn't matter if you were an old world player or not.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: You just didn't. Guys, just from what I saw from
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Alabama this year, I saw a bunch of people who
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: just didn't have that same tenacity and that same intensity.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: I'm right. And could Nick Saban team lost to Benderbilt? Yes?
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: What did Nick Saban team lost in another game after
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: that year? Probably not? They would have ran. I mean
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: it would have been it had been crazy so I
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: just think that I think we go to Alabama and
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: we get a win. I just think that they have
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: some figuring out to do, and it may take a
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: couple of years to weed out some guys and get
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: some new guys in there.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be the bigger thing. It's the I
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I mean, they off twenty
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: four players in the portal the week. Their schedule is
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: let me go find Alabama real quick. Alabama plays, they
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: play LSU at home before US. So for them, they
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: have a bye week and then LSU US and a
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: FCS school three weeks in a row with the CRIB.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: That's pretty beneficial to them. The LSU game is gonna
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: be tough at home will be coming off a bye
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: week instead. So yeah, uh, a actual bye week, Like
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: we're not playing another team, a little cupcake or anything.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: We're literally gonna be just chilling the crip. I don't
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: know who their quarterback is though, Like, and that's no shake.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I really don't know. It's Ted Simpson right now, and
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: they not.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: I think people I know don't at Yeah, I think
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: that's who it is as of right now. Guys don't well,
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: I can't say it can't you know, it can't happen
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: near mind. I was gonna say something else, but I
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: was gonna say, what if Quinn went to Bama? But
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: that that can't happen, he declared, And so that's.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Not it's not gonna happen.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: But I would say this is you know Bama has
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: they have Kilan Russell also coming in. That's their big
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: five star and he is a dude.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: You can play. I like Russell.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: Here's here's where I don't think that he can come
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: in and be dominant right away. Keil and Russell also
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: has an enormous amount of talent around him. I think
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: the Cory it checked me if I'm wrong, but.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, more was what what's wide receivers were one
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: of his wide receivers.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I mean that that My uncle writes for the Dallas
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Morning News and does high school football stuff, and he's
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: he when he talks really really big about guys, I
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: know that they are something because he is an Oklahoma
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: State fan and he doesn't recognize talent. But I digress,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: love you, Brad, but he is heal and Russell will
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: not have the skill set advantage at wide receiver in
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: the SEC as he does in high school and because
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: he had some dudes around him. And so you know,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: since Jamison Williams left, I mean Alabama, now I know
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Ryan Williams who is probably eighteen finally, but you know,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: he he's he's a he's a stud. But I mean,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else they have around him. So
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: we'll see, We'll see how that goes. Uh you know
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: that's again that's a freshman. That's a freshman quarterback at
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: that point in the year. You know, that's the freshman wall.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: That's where you know the Nickson dings and bruises. You know,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: he's a bigger guy. Uh So he's going to get
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: hit and they lose. They lose a lot of opportunity
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: guys going to the NFL too, a lot of early
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: guys leaving and guys who would probably maybe stick around
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: for one more year.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Yep. So Keithan Russell Duncanville, he I mean, he leaves
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the class, finishes up as top person in the state
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: of Alabama, number texas, number two in the country. Godly,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: he finished up right behind Bryce Underwood. So they got
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: a top quarterback out there and can't beat that. We'll
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: see yeah, it is.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: It is Trevor Lawrence. And so again is if it's
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: close ish And I just I just saw zas Uh
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: said it in the chat here too. I think that,
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe Simpson gets the start and you kind
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: of have a you know, a Russell package, and maybe
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: he kind of slowly takes over, and maybe that's a
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: transitioning period, you know, for when they play US. But ye,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: I just I just have a feeling that Alabama is
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: in a little bit of a world hurt. And and
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: I man, I just said it, Jay. You know, I
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: did all the numbers going into it, and I said,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: they don't have they had like they were worse than
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: the the SEC as far as like returning production at
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: running back and wide receiver, complete new style changes and everything.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: And if you stopped Jalen Milroe last year, it you know,
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: they were easy to beat and stopping him tough, but
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: if you did it, you could beat him. Yep.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: So next game up, you've got Missouri coming to town.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Which is the good thing for US is this is
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: the final two games of the season and they're both
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: home games, so you're hosting Missouri and he hosting LSU.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Missouri got the quarterback from from Penn State that they
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: supposed we pay some millions to transfer in.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: The backup.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is he any good?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, Drew Aller is the same as every other
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Penn State quarterback here. You can scramble around, you can
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: do pretty good if you're running the games going strong,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: but when it comes down to crunch time, you know,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Zach Aller may be the best of all of them.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: But I don't remember, Yeah, Drew Aller, Zach Aller.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: But I just.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Their freshmen, their big time, five star freshman quarterback. He
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: destroyed his knee in the playoffs high school. This in
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: the in the fall, and so I mean he's not
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: going to be ready, and so he's gonna be a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: year behind. But I'm pretty sure the guy that we
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: played against, he probably transferred out. I'm assuming because.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Zuri had seventeen incoming fifteen out. The big one that
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: they brought in was bo Perbulah, the quarterback from Penn State.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: He's the one that they brought in as a transfer. Yeah,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: he's he was a he wasn't rated very high. He's
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: a three star but six two two fifteen. But they
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: paid him, supposedly they paid him a lot of money.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Come here, we'll go to Missouri. But they they ended
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: up cleaning cleaning the house to a lot of players
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: leaving Luther Burden hit the portal. They lost Marcus Bryant
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: on the line with Cardon Johnson, Brady Cook, Williams.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Uh another run at him. Uh, you know he he
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: transferred out, but.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: He's in Nebraska. You know, you got Marcus Carroll and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Nate Nowel who hit the who our league bound?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Listen. I think they returned right back to where they
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: typically have been.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: You know, they a lot THEO we should be gone. Yeah,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: they got a lot of dudes that are replacements.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I remember I saw, yeah they we uh did I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: remember seeing his little thank you and thank you Missoo
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: and shout out to my neighbor who passed away. I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: know that he's a humongous Missoo fan. And so that's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: this was you know, he got to see two good
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: years from from them back to back. But I mean,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: it's they're going to struggle this year. It's it's their
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: their schedule is on the weaker side again. But I
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: think they're still going to have They're still going to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: have fits.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and name said that the people are pointing out
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: that they they replaced Whenery with another player from the
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: portal from Georgia. Oh, Damian Wilson. Dami Wilson's actually really good.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: He's actually and listen when when his was a motor
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: issue and that was the one kind of knock on him.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: And uh, I know that. We have a buddy who
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: talks to a former sooner on the Missouri Tigers and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: he told us same thing. The motor was an issue
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: from the get go. And you know, you can't just
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: show up and out athlete people anymore once you get
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: up there, especially in the SEC.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that Damon ended up going there of
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: all places. But no, he you can play. So they
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: got to pick pickup on the lines. So they got
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: they replace a lot of players. We got to see
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: how that all messes together. Kevin Coleman coming from Omess
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: is interesting. They got a lot of interesting pickups. I'm
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: really curious to what their depth chart's gonna look like
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: once they get going. But yeah, seventeen and fifteen out,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. Quarterback question is who's playing quarterback
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: for them right now?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Or or prompted it's gonna have to be one of
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: those two guys because Zeller's, like I said, Zeller's just destroyed.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Zella's done. I think it's gonna be Bo. I think
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: they pay Bo big money to come out there. Actually,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Drew Pine is gone. Uh, he's graduated, So it's gonna
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: be the quarterback from Penn Sate. Now we get to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: see what what Bowl Prabula looks like. That's gonna be
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: the question, so we'll know by then. Then you wrap
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: your season up. L s U LSU game, that's the game.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a challenge. Yeah, that is
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be a hard game.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: What is L s U. I mean, obviously everybody's playing
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: at the full, the fullest strength of your capability based
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: off what we saw this past year. I don't know.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: I still that that was literally one of the most
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: amazing returns to the game of a player I've ever seen.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: I mean that was like Jordan, you know, with the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: flu type of type of game from uh Nussmayer this year.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we had him pretty well in check and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: he goes down, comes back out and he must have
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: had a personal vendetta about something. So but yeah, they
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: are going to be they're going to be good, and
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: you know they're gonna have a lot of expectations.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: So and the good thing for him too is they
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: replaced Bryce Underwood that they lost with Michael van Buren.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: You're bringing Van Buren a quarterback to be right behind,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: which I like Michael Van Buuren. I don't care nobody
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: say I want him to come up behind. That was
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: the That was the second quarterback I wanted to come
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: in the class with Michael Haw because Van Buren I
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: think he can ball. So you got Van Buren as
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: the backup to Neus Myers. If anything goes down with him,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: you've got him that's gonna be able to come in.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: And he's played in the SEC. We've seen him playing
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: games last year in Missippi State.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: So I just say this, everybody's gonna take cracks. I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: think Bauer Sharp has the opportunity to uh to show
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: really it looks really good on the stat sheet. I
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: think that LSU fans will be annoyed as hell with
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: him because they're gonna see game in game out some
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: of the stuff that he does. But don't be surprised
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: if you know when he comes to town, he's you know,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: got four or five hundred yards and you know, several touchdowns,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: like they're gonna put him to use, and they've because
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: they've got a lot of other tools and he doesn't
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: have to be the number one guy.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm opposite of you, Coop. I think Bower
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: is gonna be really good for them. And I say
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: that because he doesn't have to be the number one option.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: He's not number one, he's a three or four down
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: the line, but he'll contribute. I still like Bower and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: and what the bad part for him here was he
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: literally was the only player that was quote unquote that
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Jackson All felt he could he could believe in. That's
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: where your issues lie.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I often take ye, I just think that there
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: are so many other options for them that he is
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: going to be the fourth or fifth option.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: And oh, I agree, I agree, But I.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Also think that there's gonna be times that he misses
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: a block or something. So I think that LSU fans will,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: you know, have a bittersweet relationship with Bower sharp. I
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: just think he's even more ouptive there.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree. I agree with you there.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be way more productive there because
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna have to have him do everything. He
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: just comes in when they need him too, and they
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: do some extra stuff. It's Almos gonna need to block.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be a receiving tight end. He's not gonna
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: be really a blocker. And I think that that's where
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: we would have loved for him to be in, but
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: we couldn't do that. We couldn't afford it. So that's
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: the schedule, Coupe. How do you feel final your initial
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: after looking at it with our pickup so bicking up
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: the number. Now he's the number two, which I don't
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: know how he's done.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: I disagree with him partly, No.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Number two, Jeo Materior number one. He's top player in
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: the port whatever baseball, production and everything, because he did
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: both passing and running. But I digress. Now, now we
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: have the number two player in the portal in the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: most important position. We need it. We like our young
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: players coming back because you bring back a lot of
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: young ones. What is your record today.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Jay, I mean, I think it's a nine to three season.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: That's kind of where I'm at right now. I think
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: that as we get closer to the season starting, you know,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to have a feeling about this
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: team next year, kind of how I felt about the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: men's basketball team. I did not get too at ten
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: to oh eleven and oh or whatever when we were
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: playing you know, other teams from out of conference. I said,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: I wanted to see what happens when you get a
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: couple of games in conference before I feel really optimistic
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: about the team, and I kind of was proven right.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: So with this one, it's I'm gonna I want to see.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be able to see pretty quickly. You know,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: even in the early games. Michigan included that, you know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: is there something different about this team? Does this team
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: actually have the capability to lean on something, whether that's
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: John Matier, whether whether that is the running game in general.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that we will be able to
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: see that pretty early because you saw what this offense
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: was this year, even in the early season. We all
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: we were there together every single one of those games,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: and you just you just knew that there was an
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: issue and it was a bad issue. So if if
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: what I think is a conservative viewpoint of offense happens,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: I think nine in three is of perfectly perfectly acceptable outcome,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: especially with that schedule.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that is a nine and three is fair.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: This is barring injury. Again, I'm waiting to see what
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Vegas is gonna come out. I am. I am very intrigued,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: and I do think that y'all are gonna be very
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: surprised at what Vegas drops. Just being honest. Once Vegas
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: actually gets us a future's number, which will happen after
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: the national championship, y'all gonna be surprised. I don't even
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be seven and a half. It's gonna
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: be one of two things. It's either gonna be lower
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: or a heck of a lot higher. They're gonna they're
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: gonna play people on making you make They're gonna make
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: people bet on Oklahoma one way or the other. And
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: it's gonna because it's gonna be ridiculous numbers. Either be
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: six and a half or it's.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Gonna be nine and a half or nine and a half.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: That's what I think. Is gonna be eight and a half.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Probably is probably a safe number two, but I think
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a ridiculous number. And everybody's gonaok at this,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: like what that's stupid? And they're gonna do it baseball
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: on the schedule. The schedule is very favorable, the Michigan
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: game being right there at the second game of the season,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: what Michigan's returning, it's gonna be a challenged. And then
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: the bye weeks are strategic. They've got we only play
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: we play no back to back road games week over week.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Every game is lined up. It'll be stupid. And if
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: you and if it's nine and a half, everybody's gonna
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: take the under, and that to me is where Vegas
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: wants you to go. It's just that I just look
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: at the schedule and how favorable it is, like this
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: is done like Texas. I get Texas's gripe about theirs,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Like when I looked at it, and I'm like, dang,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: they got y'all literally have all the tough games back
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: to back.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: And guys just in the chat just so I'm saying,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: like if the number is nine and a half, Vegas
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: is putting it there because they think that they think
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: that OU is going to actually do well and everybody
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: they know that all the money is going to be
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: based off of what happened last year, which I think
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: last year wasn't a complete anomaly. I think that it
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: was exposed. I think the offensive efficiencies, inefficiencies were exposed
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: because of the injuries, and we should probably be thankful
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: of that, because otherwise we go eight and four last year,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: we're still just probably just as disappointed because we just
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: had a lot the masking of a lot of inefficiencies.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe the same types of portal outreach leaves maybe Jackson
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Arnold still here. I mean, just think of that, like
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: if if we didn't have those injuries. The injuries forced
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: us to fix some wrongs and we were very, very
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: very lucky to have that happened.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Do I hate it still? Yeah? I still hate it.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Do what I rather had ten weeks. I'm just saying,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: you got to realistically look at this, like, at one point,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five was national championship here for US, and
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: that was just like two years ago. That was our
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: that was our kind of a look ahead. Well now
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: it is. All of us are super excited, and damn
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: near don't believe that nine and three is attainable, you know,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: so look at I mean, that still is a pretty
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: big fallback from what the initial expectations were.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Yep. Man, just looking at the schedule, it's lining up
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: just right. I'm I am really curious about how they're
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: gonna do twenty six when they decide if they're gonna
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: do the nine game conference schedule or not. So it's
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. We won't have that. We'll probably find
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: that out sometime this season, probably late season. They'll make
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: a decision. Actually they may do what at SEC media Days.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: We may actually get a four years worth of schedule
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: at that point.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: But I don't even know if you can fully ever
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: see that as something that's gonna end up happening, just
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: because I think that the conference realignment stuff is not
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: over also, and so I mean, like if they start
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: moving us to nine for twenty six, it's almost like
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: I'll believe it in July twenty six, you know that
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: that's actually gonna happen. But yeah, no, I see what
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: you're saying. It's there's well no plunge. Football's moving so fast.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Like if you're at ESPN dot com right now, they're
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: already talking about me maybe doing tweaks to the format
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Yep, they've already started talking about that tweaking the format
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: for which I expect them to tweak it. I hope
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: they go ahead and negotiate the contracts for the playoffs
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: going forward and basically tear this current one up and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: move all the playoff games to the home stadiums. Do
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: it on campus, all of them up until the championship game.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Actually to the semi finals. I want the first two
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: rounds on campus. Give me the semis which is, you know,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: your final four gun be your final four in your
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: championship at neutral sites. But give me. Actually, if you
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: really want to give Robby, I do everything on home
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: stadiums into the National Championship and give us back those
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Bowl games. Make those fun again. So because people don't
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: travel to these games, people kept watching Bowl games even
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: with these playoffs, Like people still the Bowl games were
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: up in numbers. We're watching them. Yeah, because I enjoy
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: watching Bowl games.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say. I would say this is if
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: I think you can get rid of the bys like
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: I think the if whether that means adding a few more,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: you know, teams, I'm okay with that. Let's get rid
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: of the byes. If we're gonna go ahead and do
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: that one, I mean, at that point, you know, do
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: we talk about that. I don't even want to get
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: into like getting rid of conference championships because I still
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: think that that was extremely favorable for Texas. Uh, you
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: know big and you know in Penn State they lost
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: their I mean there were teams that didn't have to
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: play in conference championships and they you know, they were
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: they were well arrested, they were ready to go. They
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: didn't have to play the extra game. So I think
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: that there's uh, if you go to an expanded team
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: format and you get rid of the buys, like let's
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: do them all on campus. I'm okay with that.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I'm here for the campuses. That's gonna be so much
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: more fun.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm here for that. Give me, give me
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: campus fun. So all right, we're a little over. We're
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: gonna get out of here. Thank you for pulling up
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: at the log button. New to the channel, subscribe rate review,
• 1:15:39
