• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We haven't done the unrealized in a while.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do need to get get some unrealized.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: That's the first nominee right there.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Unrealized, I did Unrealized.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put myself up there for just picking them against the dolphins in the Super Bowl this year.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I mean unrealized.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what else you got?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Let's dig deep here.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, here we go.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: How about Alabama from Wiffin on their number one target, mike Norville?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, unrealized, I did Unrealized.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Alabama will say that they didn't even offer him.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Of course not.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Nobody ever offered anybody, except the guy that took the job Exactly.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the nominees.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We know the truth yeah, bill Belichick.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put him up there, but it was a change in the guard and you got Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban all out of there.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Which job or which career accomplishment?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: means more.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: You know Nick Saban is retiring.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Do you think the other two end up in another?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think Belichick's retiring.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, and you think Carroll takes a shot somewhere else?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Pete.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He's older than both of them.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: What if Arizona, the University of Arizona, went out and said, hey, man won't?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: You try to come retiring out here in Arizona and college for a little bit.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that just opened Fish going to.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Washington.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Nothing serious, man, we can't really pay you much, just come have fun.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Another roster that will be open for the Port of Combat right away.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: All that talent's going up to Seattle with Jed Fish, right yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You like that hire by Washington.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I think he's a guy that's going to be gone in two or three years, be it NFL or somewhere else.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I know that he was a hot name for Florida because he is a Gator alum, but he also really doesn't care for the South.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Citing his time in Jacksonville, right, I don't know, it's a good hire.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It seems like a little bit of a panic move, I think there are other good candidates out there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's going to be brutal in the Big 10 for them.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: That roster is pretty barren.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They had a lot of upperclassmen from this team.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It's going to be tough man.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, they were similar to Florida State in that regard they were, but FSU has reloaded already.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're transfer portal now up to number three class.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Continuing to add.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Continuing to add its portal combat.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Give me back my son.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And they've been giving back their son.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got the wrong button there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's always good to hear that one PORTO COMBAT All right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's getting combative out there it is yeah, but you got two interior guys right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Right, Right, Since the last one we've picked up two offensive linemen Terrence Ferguson, TJ Ferguson, from Alabama.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: This is a guy I think that they're looking to slide into Casey Roddick's spot along the line.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: They're hopeful you can get back up to that level of play of Dylan Gibbons.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: He dropped off a little bit there this year with that spot, so that's a kid they got big hopes for there on the interior.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Then you got Richie Leonard from Florida.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You know he's been around a while.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: He's got a lot of experience.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I think he's in his last year of eligibility.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I like him as kind of a depth guy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think there's some hope that he can be center, kind of give some competition slash rest to Big Mo next year.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: But I mean it's two big pieces dude, Like two experienced guys, strong guys.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I mean Ferguson's been at Alabama for the last two, three years in that weight room at that training table, so you're getting some strength in there and I think they really liked the pickup there you picked up Roy Dell Williams running back at Alabama.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: That's a really huge pickup Kid is a really good running back.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Fell victim to the fact that Alabama's stockpiles stud running backs.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I really liked that pickup man From Huey Town, alabama.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: James's old hometown.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: So now your backfield, just like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You add him to what Tua Fili is coming back, and then you have the freshman coming in who looks like he's ready to roll.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Right, you got three backs right now that are 5'10", 5'11", 215 to 220 pounds, and Roy Dell Williams, cam Davis, and then you don't forget about Kizia Holmes, it's another powerful back.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And then, yeah, you throw in Lawrence Tua Fili, dan Z, the kid out of Florida High, the freshman.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You also have Jaylen Lohan.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You also have Jaylen Lucas.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: That was brought in as a kick return specialist kind of guy, but he's still gonna be in the backfield at times Right a lot of speed.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're adding, you're loading up on offense, so but it's good to see the interior offense of Lyman that were added the beef.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You know I like the big guys.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was To get two guys from the SEC have experience right have size and between one of them they're hoping that you upgraded that left guard position, I believe is what Roddick was usually playing, left or right, either one.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: No offense to Kasey Roddick, nothing against them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: It just there was clearly a dip from when he was out there as opposed to Gibbons, and I think they want to get back up to that, obviously that higher level of play there in the interior.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: We're seeing depth, now Right, and seeing offense getting back, and now the secondary, the additions, looks to be even.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the secondary's looking really strong.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: The returning members.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You get guys transferring with multiple years left.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Right and up front on the defensive line.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You got Toko from Oregon State.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be another really experienced guy, a lot of strength, big, big, big, like Ed setter out there on that defensive end.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: You got tommy from West Virginia.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It's another multiple year guy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: They might even slide him inside.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: You already had Grady Kelly.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You know you picked up Marvin Jones Jr.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: You know there's still a couple guys out there that they're looking at that they may add.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Really right now.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: It all comes down to linebacker right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Biggest news is that Sean Murphy, reserve linebacker from Alabama, is on campus right now.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Was you know, yesterday still here today?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Originally out of Virginia, florida State recruited him pretty heavily, coming out of high school, signed with Alabama.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Hasn't played a ton, but it's a way to add a kid to the linebacker room that you're probably never going to be able to sign out of high school, given your current makeup staff wise and you know.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So yeah, top-end town at that would be huge.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It would be huge, big pickup.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You like a little bit more experience in that linebacker room?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think that's gonna be the only guy they look to take there, but it would be pretty, pretty frustrating to not land this guy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: You got him on vid, you know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: You got him on campus.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have a ton of time To make up his mind, so it you know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I, yeah, keep your fingers crossed with that All right.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: There's some other guys out there.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Like there's guy from Texas Tech, right.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's more of an edge player.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Steve Linton, he's a.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: He's a big time pass rusher.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Uh, like he's at, or going to be at, texas A&M on next few days.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I know that that's thought to be the leader in the clubhouse, but we'll see what happens with that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Florida State likes him a lot.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: They think that he's an NFL guy, so we'll see if we get a visit out of them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: If we get a visit out of them, all bets are off.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: That's kind of the way this this transfer report works, if you can get them on campus.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I there's no.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows how it works better right now than Mike Norville, and he signed sealed for the for the near future at Florida State.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, big contract, Big contract Um which was right in time.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it kind of depends on, like what you believe and who you believe when you look at the internet, but he was definitely.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't try to look at the top of the list for Alabama.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I thought definitely Alabama would be stupid not to try.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great coach and you can see him coming on, but I thought I thought he would stay just on where he was and I think he wants to be here.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: That's one thing and you can win here, and and that's about it, you know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I think it fulfills right what he set out to do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Just my opinion, um, is that Norvell is a guy that clearly intends to stay in college football, right.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that Kailin Debord is of that same mindset.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's along the lines Dan Lanny.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Him and like those guys are young, yeah, they're not gonna.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I don't see them testing those NFL waters.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Right, right, they seem like college coaches.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and they're both stayed at their job because they believe in themselves that they can win there, and they don't want to follow Saban and leave what they've already started to establish.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Exactly, and I think I'm just trying to look at it from from Debord's perspective.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Knowing his coaching history, I mean he was a head coach very early, very young, even though it was in a IA.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: It's still head coach.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: You know, he goes to offensive coordinator at the, the FBS level for a few years and then he's back All right.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: On my own head coach again, I'm Fresno State.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: You bounced to Washington and now you take Alabama, which is currently, in my opinion, it's pretty much a winless situation.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: You know, in terms of personal glory.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Now you go there and you keep the machine rolling.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: The NFL is going to look at you in a split second and there's your ticket.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he views himself as that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Like I can go there, continue to show him that I can grease the wheel and keep the machine rolling and then I'm going to bounce to the highest level, the highest challenge, go to the NFL and that kind of fits his style, like he shows up and he wins with whatever he has Right and then he moves on to the next challenge.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: So that Norvell being a college guy, I think he looked at the fact that, like dude, I can go to Alabama and it's going to be almost guaranteed that I'm not going to meet these people's expectations.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You know they're not going to embrace me because I'm not going to be Nick Savin and I think that's something that matters to a guy like Coach Norvell is to be in a place where he's comfortable and where you know he doesn't have that For me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think Katelyn DeBoer is that concerned with that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: As much as you know, I can go there and win and then keep, keep climbing, keep going.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: It's got a vision here and it's not.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: If you see your vision, nothing's going to.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You're focused on that.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And it's a lot like Bobby Bowden back in what 86, 85, 86.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: You like it, he kind of just trusted what he saw himself doing here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Honestly, it's good to see well you see it, it wasn't just Florida State, you saw it at Oregon.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, the guys that take these you know well that's the effect of having them, and out there he wants to win yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: And if you have the support which they do at both places.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can win in both places now.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: But that's what it that's the number one thing and if you figure that out that you have that Right, it is why change it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: It is important to note that you know, landing in Norvel, their extension, their new contracts, you know at least 2 million more than what Washington could come up with for DeBoer to keep them Right.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: So there is also the money situation.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the guy that just went to the national title game.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You know and has been phenomenal in two years.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, well, I think it's a good thing to know that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Well, on to Alabama for him.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's going to have to uh.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Into the hornet's nest.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Right, he's got a lot going on, man.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: He's got to figure out the defensive coordinator.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: He's got to keep this roster that he has from being picked clean because the vultures are out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we got some big time vultures down here in Tallahassee, austin, texas is is picking them clean and some talent it's.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: It's getting brutal out there for them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, they're holding on to their best pieces right now, but there's definitely some growing frustration.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's just gonna happen.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Man, you lost the best of all time, you lost the best People came there for Nick Saban, right, okay, like as much as.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Well, and I think that everyone's finding out just how big a pull that was.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: You know, like NIL, whatever, whatever, like even with high school kids, that Jamie French kid who just decommitted, you know, over there in Jacksonville, yeah, you know, like the fact that it's not gonna be Saban is enough to make a kid reconsider, so that's a guy old school recruit, has not committed yet from high school.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Right right.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Class of 2025.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So he'll be a surprising senior.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, but you know, one of the best prospects in the country committed to Alabama, no reason.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And you know you look at Alabama and who their new coach is bringing.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: You know he's bringing the entire offense with him, the entire offensive coaching staff.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: So if you're a receiver and you watched Washington and they had a really strong passing game, you would think like, oh well, he's gotta be crazy to decommit with this guy coming.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: But the fact is he's not Saban Right, that's enough to make a kid back off.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I gotta re.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I gotta look at everything else again and that's something that Alabama's gonna have to deal with.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: And it's open season.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody in the Southeast now is gonna be gunning for that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's where Norvel's probably there.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, Norvel was one of the first coaches to hit him up, right?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Well, he's not gonna be the only one.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: No, no Kids in national recruit.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, the unrealized idea, we'll go back to that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going, yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the Cowboys man.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, then we'll give that out.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Then we didn't give that out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, go ahead and give that out, man, dallas Cowboys.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy you know what I'm gonna give it to?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Not to all the players or anybody Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones they three way tie.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Unrealized there you go, there you go, you're facing your old team.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's been a while.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just got fired by losing to his old squad.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Right, it hasn't come out yet, but there's no way you keep them.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You think so they blow it all up.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Blow it all up.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Blow it all up, if you're gonna get rid of the coach you've gotten rid of.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: How many coaches now for Dak?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: How many is that?
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Jason Garrett, was he there with Dak?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, who came after him?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, really that was it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so you got rid of two head coaches.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: How many office coordinators?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Kelly Moore, yeah.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I mean he's good, but he's got that guaranteed contract, so but they just.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah Well, Jerry Jones is rich.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Well, here you go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Here's your money.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: No-transcript.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Try to find somebody to pawn him off on.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: That needs a quarterback.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jim Harbaugh when he takes the Chargers job.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Don't like Justin Herbert.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: No, he likes Justin Herbert.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: That's why I mean people, probably why he's taking a job.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Right right, right.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You think he takes that job.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Harbaugh yeah, I do.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: They offer it to him yeah, Yep, All right.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: What else we got here?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So that's about we even got some high school recruiting in there.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Anybody that hasn't signed yet, that's waiting until the February signing day Is that still a thing?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, there might be a couple.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe Florida State adds a kid.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I think there's a quarterback out of Orlando, Trevor Jackson.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be possibly a late addition.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's gonna be a scholarship player though, even though he's like a three star, four star kind of kid.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: So they're definitely gonna try to find some way to not roll in there with only three QBs next year, just in case.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a kid that'll just probably come here maybe a year or two and then transfer out to a better offer than he would have had.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: So but, high school man, it's pretty much done It'll.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: You know, everything is gonna be shifted to the next cycle, the 25 class.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, just wanted to check up on it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kiddie pools.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Kiddie pools.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I used to be the thing man.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: They're shocking the kiddie pool right now.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cleaning it out, right, getting it ready.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Getting it ready for the next little class.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we've done that and realized do we have any speculation?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Speculation.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: We have any.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Speculate on hardball a little bit.

  Speaker 3: What's the guy's hold?

  Speaker 1: That's big man.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: It is big, it gives him a QB.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: That's huge and it's a good spot for Cam Ward.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You know a guy with his fumble issues and you know need to be behind a good offensive line Somebody that can pass, bro Mm.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I like that pickup from Miami yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Not as an FSU fan, no, not as an FSU fan.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Looking at it, it makes that game extremely tough.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Next year, Transfer you, man.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: You got your DJ Uwe vs Cam Ward Right, they're going at it again, this time in the state of Florida.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Right, that's true, it's dead out in Pac-12 territory.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, how about it man?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's a new era of Pac-12.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a huge pickup for Miami.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: They needed something desperately and they were able to circle back.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I just they were going to rely on.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: What's the guy from Albany Reese?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Poffinbaga.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Reese Poffinbaga.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't, I don't man, you think it's going to be a competition there?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: For the backup no.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not anything popular I would see.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I would see Jacuri Brown.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: May Well, you're always going to see that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, this is just for one year.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Like the same thing, Right right, but they're you know they're bringing in other guys.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: So you know you're already going to have Emory Williams to deal with, probably as long I mean as long as he stays at Miami.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: That's going to be your competition, right?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: This was huge Big pickup for them.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this puts Miami's like right back in contenders race for the ACC.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a bit battled down in the hard rock this year.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, huge game.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: It'll be Mario's biggest game of his career Ability to make a statement, opportunity to make a statement.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Big game, big game, huge.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: We had to go.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Well, we got to get on out of here.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Well, let me run this by.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: It hadn't been set in stone.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Let's keep the Miami, florida state topic up.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: What if it's like scheduled right before Florida, and you say both teams wrap up an appearance to Charlotte, or one team wraps up an appearance to Charlotte, they're not going to do that?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm saying like if we got it clenched before we play Miami, we ain't playing DJ Look at that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the importance of the undefeated season is not so much.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: There isn't anymore, it's all about getting to Charlotte and winning that auto bid.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's playing your best roster Getting healthy Right when you play off.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: For the auto bid.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean on paper you got two, two quarterbacks that are, you know, huge transfer QBs that actually played against each other last year.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: But shit, they might not be playing that game.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: What's really going to be?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: The question is, what's going to be the game?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Like the SEC championship, because if you have teams that are already going to be at large bids, that'll be seeding.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Right, but like does the impact of that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I know that's a big game, that they just going to lose the whole champ.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: All the championship games are going to lose a little bit They'll be, they don't matter.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Acc championship will gain something.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and think about it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's the only shot it can get in.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much, and the auto bid is only going to be around for a year or two.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: They're getting rid of it, oh they are.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll get rid of it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And it'll be every team for itself.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: It's a big team, hasn't it?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: That's when Florida State will have to be going.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: You know, 11 and 1 every year, just to even get a sniff.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: As long as we're in this G5 junior detective badge of a conference, oh my goodness.
