Speaker 1: The Journay Glory Podcast, September twenty ninth, thunder Sarberniki, Austin Rose,
0:24
Speaker 1: Dakota Free Tag. It's no longer bye week, it's Michigan
0:29
Speaker 1: State Week. But I think it's a good time to
0:33
Speaker 1: check in and see how everybody's doing. This morning, we
0:36
Speaker 1: got we gotta do that first. Austin said, I haven't.
0:39
Speaker 1: I don't do that anymore, and he's probably right. Dak
0:42
Speaker 1: how are you doing great?
0:44
Speaker 2: Couldn't be better?
0:48
Speaker 3: Now?
0:48
Speaker 2: Just kidding. I had a terrible football day yesterday. Vikings
0:52
Speaker 2: looked like absolute crap, I like always. But other than that, and.
0:57
Speaker 1: There's more, there's more than other than that.
0:59
Speaker 3: You also.
1:03
Speaker 1: Lost a lot of money.
1:04
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yep on the Ryder Cup and the Vikings.
1:09
Speaker 3: So yeah, not a good sung Who'd you put money
1:12
Speaker 3: on the Ryder Cup Team USA?
1:14
Speaker 2: USA?
1:15
Speaker 3: What we told you said?
1:18
Speaker 1: I can't American for putting money.
1:22
Speaker 3: Out in Europe.
1:23
Speaker 1: But he actually did wait until after day one and
1:26
Speaker 1: we were down, so he got some better odds and
1:28
Speaker 1: didn't watch the Ryder Cup yesterday. We have some life
1:32
Speaker 1: there at the end and it was kind of fun,
1:36
Speaker 1: but weren't able to pull it out. Did did keep
1:39
Speaker 1: it pretty close.
1:40
Speaker 3: But yeah, roday, I'm good. A fantasy football teach sucks
1:52
Speaker 3: this year. We just can't put it all together.
1:55
Speaker 2: I have.
1:56
Speaker 3: I have a real deep team, but my top talent
1:58
Speaker 3: is enough, and so that maybe, yes, a little frustrating.
2:01
Speaker 1: I think for the first time, I have a lot
2:06
Speaker 1: of teams. I think I have like six or seven
2:08
Speaker 1: fantasy teams that, like, all my teams are doing pretty
2:11
Speaker 1: damn good. Like normally you can't do that because if
2:15
Speaker 1: you have people on one team, then you play against
2:18
Speaker 1: them on the other team, and so it's kind of
2:20
Speaker 1: a balance. I actually have a lot of pretty decent
2:21
Speaker 1: teams this year, which we'll see if it holds up.
2:23
Speaker 2: But I was just.
2:28
Speaker 3: I'm pretty good.
2:29
Speaker 2: You know.
2:29
Speaker 3: In my league, one hundred and twenty points usually get
2:32
Speaker 3: you a win, and I've been putting up like one
2:33
Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen to one hundred and eighteen every week,
2:35
Speaker 3: and I've just been on the other end of you know,
2:39
Speaker 3: this week, I was on the other end of Ashton
2:41
Speaker 3: Genti's you know, forty point game.
2:46
Speaker 1: I will say one thing that we've done in a
2:48
Speaker 1: couple of our leagues that if you don't know what
2:52
Speaker 1: it is, called the Median League where every week you're
2:56
Speaker 1: playing for two points, so you're playing your matchup and
3:00
Speaker 1: you're also playing to basically be in the top half
3:02
Speaker 1: of everybody's score. So if you're in the top half,
3:04
Speaker 1: you get a win as well. So that kind of helps.
3:07
Speaker 1: If you are playing someone that's has a really good week,
3:11
Speaker 1: you still at least go one in one. You don't
3:13
Speaker 1: get no credit for having a decent week yourself. So
3:16
Speaker 1: I kind of like that if any recommendation to any
3:19
Speaker 1: fantasy people out.
3:20
Speaker 2: There, Yeah, it really evens it out.
3:25
Speaker 1: Well, Dek, you're usually on the lower half of the
3:27
Speaker 1: median So.
3:29
Speaker 2: What do you mean, boys in the championship game?
3:31
Speaker 1: Not this week?
3:32
Speaker 2: No ballut this week?
3:36
Speaker 1: Well, it's Michigan State week and we're going to talk
3:39
Speaker 1: a lot more Michigan State later on in the week.
3:41
Speaker 1: We do want to go through the Big Ten here.
3:44
Speaker 1: We haven't talked a whole lot about the conference as
3:47
Speaker 1: we're a couple of games in here, ranking a lot
3:51
Speaker 1: of these teams, kind of see where everybody's at and
3:53
Speaker 1: where Nebraska kind of fits in there.
3:55
Speaker 3: I think.
3:57
Speaker 1: We talked about the tiers and maybe where what here
4:02
Speaker 1: Nebraska fits in. While after losing to Michigan. We'll see
4:06
Speaker 1: if that impacts I guess where we have everybody. So
4:10
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do here at the top, and
4:11
Speaker 1: then we have some some good mail bag questions and
4:14
Speaker 1: some good topics of conversation that we'll have here towards
4:19
Speaker 1: the end of the episode. So I think to start
4:23
Speaker 1: the eighteen team Big Ten rankings, there was a battle
4:30
Speaker 1: of the bottom in my mind or close to the
4:32
Speaker 1: bottom this last week that one proved to be better
4:36
Speaker 1: than the.
4:36
Speaker 2: Other barely.
4:40
Speaker 1: Unless anybody has a different team. But do we have
4:45
Speaker 1: UCLA at the bottom or we're yep.
4:49
Speaker 3: I didn't even type it on my list because it
4:51
Speaker 3: was at the bottom. I was like, I'm not you know,
4:53
Speaker 3: that one's just there. We're not even going to talk
4:55
Speaker 3: about it.
4:57
Speaker 2: They might be in the bottom of college football around.
5:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's interesting is that's not the team. They
5:03
Speaker 1: weren't down there to start the year. I mean, honestly,
5:05
Speaker 1: weren't towards the top. But they're kind of a more
5:09
Speaker 1: surprise bottom team to Sean Foster obviously getting fired already Niko, Yeah,
5:15
Speaker 1: Mavalaya is not very good.
5:19
Speaker 3: The biggest nil deal bubble ever.
5:22
Speaker 2: It's arch remaining.
5:25
Speaker 3: So eighteen, you seel like, do we have at seventeen?
5:28
Speaker 2: Who do any debate here? I put I put Wisconsin.
5:38
Speaker 3: Interesting, Okay, I had Northwestern. Okay, I don't really know
5:45
Speaker 3: if I can justify Wisconsin being worse than Northwestern.
5:52
Speaker 1: I think I'm putting Northwestern there too. I still have
5:56
Speaker 1: a little bit of hope for Wisconsin. I actually have
5:59
Speaker 1: Wisconsin a little to higher, but not much.
6:03
Speaker 2: I mean, is is there anybody on a hotter seat
6:04
Speaker 2: in Pickle right now? No?
6:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably not. Schools go Maybe who's the coach
6:15
Speaker 3: in Florida?
6:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, Napier, Maybe he might have a hotter seat.
6:20
Speaker 1: But I don't think Wisconsin's very good either, I guess
6:26
Speaker 1: I I thought, maybe they're still better than this bottom tier,
6:30
Speaker 1: but then Maryland proved that.
6:33
Speaker 3: There.
6:34
Speaker 1: Maybe Maryland's better than that. Maryland's not in the bottom
6:37
Speaker 1: tier for me anymore, for sure. But I guess the
6:41
Speaker 1: other one that you could throw out here right now
6:43
Speaker 1: is Purdue. I don't know where you guys have Purdue.
6:48
Speaker 3: I I actually have, so I'm with I had Wisconsin
6:53
Speaker 3: and then Purdue, so I had would think a Wisconsin
6:57
Speaker 3: has the third worst, And then I had Purdue above Wisconsin.
6:59
Speaker 3: But that's also because I haven't watched a lick up Purdue,
7:03
Speaker 3: and I was like, I don't know, I've seen Wisconsin
7:05
Speaker 3: look bad this year.
7:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't watched much Purdue either. I know they
7:11
Speaker 1: kind of stayed within twenty against UFC for what that's worth. Yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: I mean, we to debate it, but where do you
7:21
Speaker 1: have Purdue at Dak?
7:22
Speaker 2: Same, same smile. I went from a bottom e CLA Wisconsin,
7:27
Speaker 2: Northwestern Purdue.
7:28
Speaker 1: Okay, so we have those kind of four bottom I agree.
7:30
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I Wisconsin fifteen, but let's move.
7:34
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a tier, but I think
7:36
Speaker 1: that's pretty close.
7:37
Speaker 3: To a tier.
7:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of teams that he just think Wisconsin.
7:43
Speaker 1: You didn't think I would be in there, but they are.
7:45
Speaker 3: They are.
7:46
Speaker 2: We just called that trash here.
7:48
Speaker 1: Sure Dak will call that the trash tire right above
7:54
Speaker 1: them where we at fourteen.
7:58
Speaker 3: So honestly, this next patch was a little tougher of ordering.
8:02
Speaker 1: I agree.
8:03
Speaker 3: I had Rutgers there I think could be better than that.
8:07
Speaker 3: But your Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan state kind of group
8:15
Speaker 3: any order. They're all decent, but they're not terrible.
8:21
Speaker 2: Actually, I also had Rutgers there. I that's only because
8:26
Speaker 2: Minnesota beat them. But I think, yeah, Minnesota, wreckers, Iowa even,
8:34
Speaker 2: they're about all the same. Mike, you played ten times.
8:39
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be five different results. I have.
8:43
Speaker 3: See.
8:43
Speaker 1: My tear is pretty big here. As far as how
8:47
Speaker 1: high we go, I won't say who's all included. These
8:49
Speaker 1: teams you're all talking about are in there. If you have,
8:52
Speaker 1: I got to throw on there. Gosh, I don't know.
8:58
Speaker 1: I'm probably throwing Michigan State there. Oh really, Okay, if
9:02
Speaker 1: I if I right now had to say, you know who,
9:08
Speaker 1: who's on Michigan State, Rutgers, who's winning neutral field of
9:11
Speaker 1: right taking Ruggers? I don't know, but that's how my
9:16
Speaker 1: brain's working right now. But I'll probably throw them there,
9:22
Speaker 1: and then at thirteen I'm probably gonna throw I'll probably
9:29
Speaker 1: throw Maryland still, Okay. I I think Maryland's decent and
9:35
Speaker 1: some people have them a lot. I think they're your
9:37
Speaker 1: receiving votes. Maybe I don't know they're they're obviously looking. Okay,
9:42
Speaker 1: we're going to figure out in a couple of weeks
9:44
Speaker 1: when we go out to College Park.
9:48
Speaker 2: But definitely, definitely more worried about that Maryland game than
9:52
Speaker 2: you were coming in the year.
9:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I had Rutgers and then Michigan. You gotta
10:02
Speaker 1: gotta work you gotta work on that dollar. You gotta
10:05
Speaker 1: work on that dollar. You said. Then then then you're
10:08
Speaker 1: then you were going into the year. You gotta you
10:10
Speaker 1: gotta work on that.
10:12
Speaker 2: I was talking about you personally, I gotta work on that.
10:19
Speaker 2: You're Michigan next, Austin.
10:22
Speaker 3: Michigan State. Okay, I think I had records Michigan State
10:25
Speaker 3: and then Minnesota and Maryland and Maryland higher than a
10:29
Speaker 3: couple further up for me.
10:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went, I went Minnesota and Michigan State, Maryland.
10:35
Speaker 1: So from bottom to top or top to bottom, bottom
10:41
Speaker 1: the top, you're not high in Minnesota.
10:45
Speaker 2: No, not really. I think I mean, they beat Rutgers,
10:48
Speaker 2: but I just I don't think they're that good of
10:53
Speaker 2: a team.
10:55
Speaker 3: I assume we're all baking in that there's Nebraska bias,
10:58
Speaker 3: that we probably have ourselves higher than we should be.
11:01
Speaker 1: I I don't. Here's here's where I'm kind to ask. So,
11:05
Speaker 1: I I mean I took I have Michigan State than Ruggers,
11:10
Speaker 1: and then this is or sorry, I had Maryland in
11:15
Speaker 1: there too, So Ruggers is who I have at twelve.
11:20
Speaker 1: I have Maryland at thirteen, Ruggers at twelve, and then
11:24
Speaker 1: I'm putting us at eleven.
11:26
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, I I.
11:31
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little bit of just historical performance to
11:35
Speaker 1: where I kind of think that until someone does something
11:38
Speaker 1: extreme like Wisconsin, U c l a poorly or really
11:43
Speaker 1: really good the other way Illinois, I don't all these
11:49
Speaker 1: teams your your, iowas, your Minnesota is your. We just
11:53
Speaker 1: we don't beat them and they haven't done anything. We
11:57
Speaker 1: haven't done anything to say we're better than them, and
12:00
Speaker 1: I mean I think we could be, but especially the
12:04
Speaker 1: lack of line play right now, I'm just like, well,
12:06
Speaker 1: I think this is where we sit. I think we
12:07
Speaker 1: sit right here at eleven right now, and we play
12:11
Speaker 1: a lot of these teams that are below us, which
12:12
Speaker 1: is nice, but we are going to get a play
12:17
Speaker 1: some of these teams coming up here.
12:18
Speaker 3: So I have US at eleven, Okay, I I mean
12:24
Speaker 3: number of my list, but I definitely not. I was
12:27
Speaker 3: higher than eleven because I had, you know, so I
12:33
Speaker 3: had a like Michigan State, Rutgers, Minnesota, Maryland, and then
12:38
Speaker 3: I had Illinois and then Nebraska.
12:40
Speaker 1: Oh you of Illinois, Okay, I don't think.
12:43
Speaker 3: Illinois is that good. I think we're on the same
12:47
Speaker 3: time with this. I think us in Illinois where we
12:50
Speaker 3: could it probably like last year, we almost beat them
12:52
Speaker 3: until we've pissed it away. I think it'd be the
12:55
Speaker 3: exact same story this year where we we would win
12:58
Speaker 3: against Illinois.
12:59
Speaker 1: Though could be wrong, but I'm gonna get I'm gonna
13:05
Speaker 1: get myself to eight because that's where my tier kind
13:07
Speaker 1: of cuts off. So I didn't Erasca eleven. I have
13:13
Speaker 1: Washington at ten, I have Minnesota at nine, in Iowa eight, now.
13:26
Speaker 3: My eight through.
13:29
Speaker 1: And I'm probably am going to go all the way
13:31
Speaker 1: down to fourteen. I think is a tier that's my
13:34
Speaker 1: wider tier, all the way through Rutgers in Michigan State, Maryland.
13:38
Speaker 1: Like I just think. I think all these teams right
13:40
Speaker 1: now are are grouped together in my mind and you
13:44
Speaker 1: can move them around a little bit. But I think
13:46
Speaker 1: that's the tier that we sit in just based on
13:49
Speaker 1: where we're at so far. Now we have the opportunity
13:51
Speaker 1: to climb to the top and get out of this
13:54
Speaker 1: tier because we play all of these teams in this
13:57
Speaker 1: tier basically for the rest of the year.
14:00
Speaker 2: So so I went, I'll do bottom of the top here.
14:07
Speaker 2: After Maryland, I went to Iowa next.
14:10
Speaker 3: Can you give them?
14:11
Speaker 1: Can you give the numbers? That helps?
14:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need a number out.
14:15
Speaker 3: Then to.
14:19
Speaker 2: Alight Iowa ten, USC nine, which there's no bias there
14:25
Speaker 2: at all. I've always loved USC all right, And then
14:28
Speaker 2: I have Washington, Illinois. I have Nebraska at six in
14:35
Speaker 2: the Michigan above that.
14:37
Speaker 3: Wow you have You're really freaking high in Nebraska. Okay, yeah, yeah,
14:42
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna stop here and you're going to talk.
14:46
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do this, you gotta talk. You gotta
14:48
Speaker 1: explain yourself.
14:49
Speaker 2: Why nebrassa number six? Just explain I think, Okay, getting
14:56
Speaker 2: no bias, I do. I do not think ILLINOI is
14:59
Speaker 2: that good after I mean, they beat USC, but whatever,
15:03
Speaker 2: But that Indiana blowout that just drops them big time
15:08
Speaker 2: down lower. Now Washington I did forget about and you
15:11
Speaker 2: said them, so I think I probably should rank them
15:13
Speaker 2: iron Nebraska's I just threw mom while you're talking. But
15:17
Speaker 2: other than that, so and Iowa, Iowa really sucks this year.
15:23
Speaker 2: I'm not big on your Nowski.
15:24
Speaker 1: So we haven't beat I always looked at this every year.
15:27
Speaker 2: We never beat Iowa, and you think, okay, but I
15:32
Speaker 2: think the Brassic is actually better this year because you
15:33
Speaker 2: have the quarterback. That's the main reason why I ranked
15:35
Speaker 2: them so high. Okay, we have the quarterback. My bad
15:42
Speaker 2: base base, I did it, basely, I did it. Who
15:44
Speaker 2: has the best quarterback in this tier? And I'm gonna
15:46
Speaker 2: say Nebraska. Now, I couldn't rank Michigan. I couldn't rank
15:49
Speaker 2: the Nebraska higher in Michigan because they beat him.
15:51
Speaker 1: But I need, I need, I need a mute button
15:56
Speaker 1: for dacks. Every Timmy says they like the around the
15:59
Speaker 1: horror and plan rp you and just he has to
16:02
Speaker 1: be on.
16:03
Speaker 3: Can we get Tony Reallie on here? That'd be wild.
16:07
Speaker 3: He would be so disappointed. US just does animals. Okay,
16:14
Speaker 3: So I guess yeah, we probably would have just had
16:16
Speaker 3: this conversation and order of tiers instead of actual numerical rankings.
16:20
Speaker 3: Because my I have a tier that it's USC, Nebraska, Illinois, Maryland.
16:26
Speaker 3: Huh that's interesting because yeah, you guys.
16:29
Speaker 1: Have like USC and Illinois and that tier. I mean
16:33
Speaker 1: I I still have them to step up above us.
16:36
Speaker 2: No, you guys don't. So no Michigan Tier, Austin, No, I.
16:40
Speaker 3: Have it with Iowa, Washington and Michigan. I think those
16:42
Speaker 3: teams are actually really good.
16:43
Speaker 1: Iowa Washington. Okay, this is interesting. We have some like
16:48
Speaker 1: a little bit of differences here.
16:50
Speaker 3: It's also tough because I mean we're at the point
16:52
Speaker 3: in the year where again we've only played four games
16:55
Speaker 3: and two of them have mostly been cupcakes, so we
16:57
Speaker 3: really were operating off of.
16:58
Speaker 1: About two games and every but everybody, like the conference
17:02
Speaker 1: is just getting started, right, so everybody's just starting to
17:04
Speaker 1: play everybody. I mean, Illinois just beat USC, which I
17:09
Speaker 1: would say those two teams are very comparable, yea, you know,
17:13
Speaker 1: and they and they won on a last second field
17:14
Speaker 1: goal there, So yeah, I I to me, those teams
17:19
Speaker 1: are all a little bit slightly ahead of us, and
17:20
Speaker 1: I would put like uc USC, Illinois, Michigan and A
17:27
Speaker 1: tier together those three teams probably. And yeah, so Austin
17:32
Speaker 1: like will throw Washington in there. He's throwing US and
17:35
Speaker 1: Maryland kind of up there. Iowa is the one weird
17:39
Speaker 1: team too. I think everybody is like all over the
17:43
Speaker 1: place on because Dak's like the lowest the lows Austin's
17:45
Speaker 1: pretty I'm like, I'm still like, they're still Iowa. I
17:48
Speaker 1: this is Iowa team is no different than the teams
17:53
Speaker 1: of the past. It is the exact same. And actually
17:54
Speaker 1: maybe they're a little to Austin's argument, they're probably a
17:57
Speaker 1: little more scared because they're actually trying to score points
18:00
Speaker 1: this year in doing it.
18:03
Speaker 3: They're not as good on defense as they've been in
18:04
Speaker 3: the past, but they're still I mean, you know, Indiana
18:08
Speaker 3: scored freaking one hundred and twenty points against Illinois the
18:11
Speaker 3: week prior, and unless last week they held them to twenty. Granted,
18:15
Speaker 3: Iowa can only score fifteen, which I don't even know how.
18:18
Speaker 3: I don't even know how they scored fifteen because I
18:20
Speaker 3: know they had a touchdown in there. They and they
18:23
Speaker 3: almost I mean they're right there to win that game.
18:26
Speaker 1: I mean, they missed the field goal, which they usually
18:28
Speaker 1: don't do late, and then Indiana goes down to scores
18:31
Speaker 1: to win the game.
18:34
Speaker 3: So I I mean, I think does.
18:35
Speaker 1: Everybody of Indiana at four yes, yep, okay, and I
18:40
Speaker 1: think they're not.
18:41
Speaker 2: I don't.
18:42
Speaker 1: I would not put them in the tier right below that,
18:46
Speaker 1: but I also wouldn't I'm not going to group them in.
18:49
Speaker 3: They're kind of in their own tier. So I think
18:50
Speaker 3: they're I mean them in Michigan is that they're you
18:54
Speaker 3: gonna lump them together and that.
18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to throw Michigan in that lump,
18:57
Speaker 1: you can probably I yeah, that's probably a good one.
19:02
Speaker 1: I think if they played on a neutral side, I'd
19:04
Speaker 1: struggle picking the winner and then top three. I think
19:10
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of clarity this week with
19:14
Speaker 1: Penn State in Oregon, but obviously very very good game overtime.
19:19
Speaker 1: Penn State puts it overtime, and then Oregon got here
19:22
Speaker 1: done in overtime. Ohio State or do you have them
19:25
Speaker 1: amongst the three?
19:26
Speaker 3: Though I have them too.
19:29
Speaker 2: I had them to two.
19:31
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's fair because I saw the
19:33
Speaker 3: Oregon State or the Oregon Penn State game. In Ohio
19:37
Speaker 3: State really, I mean, they beat Texas week one, but
19:39
Speaker 3: they didn't live great doing it. I just if Penn State,
19:45
Speaker 3: I just struggle whenever Penn State plays a really good team.
19:48
Speaker 3: I'm not like, if it was Ohio State vers Penn State,
19:50
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Ohio State. And that was kind of
19:53
Speaker 3: my justification.
19:56
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I just went off who who's
19:59
Speaker 2: right lost? I think all three of those teams are
20:01
Speaker 2: very similar. In Oregon, I mean I think Oregon's the
20:06
Speaker 2: best team. Yeah, really wow, I would take Oregon overho State.
20:16
Speaker 1: I put a lot. I probably sounds like I'm a
20:19
Speaker 1: little more probably put recency biased or past. But whether
20:25
Speaker 1: that's right or wrong, I don't know. And they're now
20:27
Speaker 1: their national chance, they've and they've they've held their own.
20:31
Speaker 1: They have the you know, beating Texas early on. Now
20:34
Speaker 1: they both have really good wins. But I think I'm
20:38
Speaker 1: gonna take Ohio State in a in a neutral side
20:40
Speaker 1: against Oregon still right now. Okay, although Dante Moore is
20:44
Speaker 1: very good. That's first my first time watching him.
20:48
Speaker 3: I was in the state. I mean, obviously not the
20:53
Speaker 3: best game to reflect the quality of opponent, but I
20:56
Speaker 3: was like, oh my gosh, Oregon is a machine.
21:04
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we don't have like a final defined
21:07
Speaker 1: return to Glory podcast rankings, but I don't know if
21:11
Speaker 1: we want to spend another half hour trying to figure
21:13
Speaker 1: that out. But I think we do have some middle
21:15
Speaker 1: tier differences here, but we maybe can do this again
21:20
Speaker 1: here in a few weeks after we have some more
21:25
Speaker 1: head to head games and see where teams play out.
21:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we kind of all agree on tiers, though.
21:32
Speaker 3: I think there's some some teams that jump around, but.
21:35
Speaker 1: Some teams will figure out where they where they land,
21:38
Speaker 1: Nebraska being one of them. I mean, I think I
21:40
Speaker 1: think we're we're going to find out where we sent
21:43
Speaker 1: to here in the next four games, where you know,
21:46
Speaker 1: we're probably going to be favored in all of them,
21:48
Speaker 1: and we'll see where.
21:50
Speaker 3: We land.
21:53
Speaker 2: In a few weeks. Big time favorites this week.
21:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it's ten and a half now, I
21:59
Speaker 1: think is the lot line opened at eleven and a
22:01
Speaker 1: half for Michigan State. Dak, we have some business to
22:05
Speaker 1: talk here and the next topic you have already kind
22:11
Speaker 1: of failed it a little bit, but signed a blood
22:15
Speaker 1: oath this weekend I'm becoming a Nebraska fan. That will
22:20
Speaker 1: be posted if it has not been already to social media.
22:23
Speaker 1: You'll see the oath that Dak signed and he's already
22:28
Speaker 1: get you know, you want to talk about Luke Fickle
22:29
Speaker 1: being on the hot seed. I think Dak's starting to
22:31
Speaker 1: get on the hot seed here for his performance so
22:34
Speaker 1: far today on being a Husker fan. I think maybe
22:38
Speaker 1: that's why he ranked Hiss at number six. He had
22:40
Speaker 1: to like offset the fake fandom that he's trying to portray.
22:45
Speaker 1: But Dak's an official Husker fan by blood as he's
22:50
Speaker 1: sucking out of thumb because his finger prob hurts from
22:52
Speaker 1: getting pricked.
22:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know if it'll be in the video,
22:57
Speaker 2: but it took a while to prick my finger. I
23:00
Speaker 2: was not doing well, so Hungress grabbed the tweezers and
23:02
Speaker 2: stabbed me.
23:03
Speaker 1: I was going to put the video in today until
23:07
Speaker 1: it took you two minutes to try to prick your
23:08
Speaker 1: finger on your own, and you were too scared to
23:11
Speaker 1: do it.
23:12
Speaker 3: So it's tougher than any think. You know.
23:15
Speaker 2: Well, just grabbed him and stabbed me, so it's like
23:18
Speaker 2: there's some good blood flowing.
23:19
Speaker 1: But that that took a little longer too, because you
23:22
Speaker 1: couldn't stay still. I had to get you to close
23:24
Speaker 1: your eyes and look away so you wouldn't move your hand.
23:28
Speaker 1: It is if you've never pricked your finger before with
23:30
Speaker 1: a needle or anything like, you have to go pretty
23:33
Speaker 1: far into your skin, yeah, to get blood. And Dak
23:36
Speaker 1: found that out.
23:37
Speaker 2: Yeah we heard that last one. You got me good.
23:42
Speaker 2: It's a good one. Yeah, but I'm officially a Hoscar
23:44
Speaker 2: fan no more, No more Boomer Sooner talk.
23:48
Speaker 3: But what what else contributes to this Hosker fandom? Like
23:51
Speaker 3: to talk to us a little bit.
23:54
Speaker 1: Like like, what do you mean, like, I can't How
23:58
Speaker 1: are you gonna show that you're a fan?
24:01
Speaker 2: Well? The well, the main thing is I cannot choose
24:02
Speaker 2: to watch an Oklahoma game over a hust game anymore.
24:06
Speaker 2: I'm not. I have to wear Husker stuff every single
24:09
Speaker 2: time the Braska plays.
24:12
Speaker 1: Well, she's been pretty good at that so far.
24:14
Speaker 2: We'll say, yeah, except for this year. I wore Oklahoma
24:18
Speaker 2: stuff when they play Michigan.
24:20
Speaker 3: And then.
24:23
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess I can't act like I'm Oklahoma
24:26
Speaker 2: fan anymore. Nope, that's a big thing. Yep, except for
24:30
Speaker 2: in two weeks when I go down to Dallas. That's
24:33
Speaker 2: the only the only time out here for Oklahoma. Wait,
24:35
Speaker 2: what what, I'm with Nebraska Maryland at the same time
24:38
Speaker 2: as Texas Oklahoma.
24:40
Speaker 3: You can watch the Texas Oklahoma game.
24:42
Speaker 2: That's fine, you guys. You guys are cool about that one.
24:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be fun.
24:50
Speaker 1: I have a feeling to Braska Maryland has eleven Actually,
24:53
Speaker 1: that game will get announced game time. I get announced today,
24:56
Speaker 1: I think, so it's not the game you're going to Yep,
25:00
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be out there. So I had eleven
25:04
Speaker 1: am written all over it in my mind. But mm hmm,
25:09
Speaker 1: and i'd say, last thing, you have to focus on
25:13
Speaker 1: calling Nebraska Wes as he's messed.
25:15
Speaker 3: Up a lot.
25:19
Speaker 2: I'm doing well today on it.
25:21
Speaker 1: Now you're you've already.
25:22
Speaker 3: Messed up twice. He caught himself though one of the
25:24
Speaker 3: time he did just do it again as he was
25:27
Speaker 3: given his little spiel here and he didn't know that
25:29
Speaker 3: he did it.
25:29
Speaker 2: So I can see.
25:33
Speaker 3: You know, he's not on the team, you know so,
25:37
Speaker 3: but he's now blood part of that blood. You're right,
25:40
Speaker 3: we need to run the ball better. I should be
25:43
Speaker 3: on the field.
25:44
Speaker 1: Here's and we joke about this, but it is funny,
25:48
Speaker 1: and we talked about this. Probably it's been several years
25:52
Speaker 1: ago just listening to Nebraska media or actually I think
25:55
Speaker 1: what what it started was was Scott Frost when he's talking.
26:01
Speaker 1: When things go well, people use the word we us.
26:08
Speaker 1: When things go poorly, you start to use they, them
26:12
Speaker 1: them you like you. You hear it a lot, and
26:17
Speaker 1: it's it's not just a dak thing. We were making
26:20
Speaker 1: fun of Dak for doing it, but did just listen
26:24
Speaker 1: to that, And it is kind of funny how coaches
26:28
Speaker 1: in media like you want to be a part of
26:30
Speaker 1: something that is successful, but once things start going south,
26:34
Speaker 1: you start to go in and then they they're no,
26:37
Speaker 1: you guys, Like that's what happens. Last Maybe Dak just
26:41
Speaker 1: hasn't seen good football yet to be part of the Wei.
26:44
Speaker 3: Yet he says it already. He believes we're playing good football.
26:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have ranked six for no reason.
26:55
Speaker 1: He just said in that sentence he said it, I
27:00
Speaker 1: don't have them ranked six. Yep. Okay, after the questions,
27:07
Speaker 1: there's some good discussion questions here as we got to
27:10
Speaker 1: wrap up the bye, wey tedded to Michigan State Week.
27:15
Speaker 1: And some of these topics have been around the past
27:17
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I've been around longer than that, but
27:20
Speaker 1: I think they're worth talking about. So, Uh, first question,
27:23
Speaker 1: first topic here, and we talked a little bit about
27:25
Speaker 1: it last episode, but how has nobody figured out that
27:28
Speaker 1: Dylan is actually trolling everyone with all the new Mahomes
27:30
Speaker 1: stuff the past two years. Uh, give everybody, give kind
27:35
Speaker 1: of your final thoughts here, not final thoughts. But where
27:38
Speaker 1: you sit on the Mahomes Dylan cosplay, I don't think
27:48
Speaker 1: he is trolling. I think he just he watches a
27:50
Speaker 1: lot of Patrick Mahomes, so he just does it.
27:53
Speaker 3: I don't think he's like I don't think he's making
27:54
Speaker 3: an active decision to do anything like Mahomes. He's just
27:58
Speaker 3: that's just who he watches, and that's fine. I think
28:02
Speaker 3: if he didn't look just like him, no one would care.
28:04
Speaker 3: But he looks exactly like him. That's why people care.
28:09
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a's idle, like he's trying to He's
28:13
Speaker 2: tried to map his game around his Mahomes his whole life.
28:17
Speaker 2: So now do I think, I mean, he's got to
28:21
Speaker 2: thrown a little bit with how much he's doing like
28:23
Speaker 2: it's everything is the same as Mahomes.
28:26
Speaker 1: That's all. It's not just the play in trying to
28:32
Speaker 1: play like him. There's obviously another level to it. Yeah,
28:39
Speaker 1: I do like the trolling. I mean I do think
28:42
Speaker 1: he's the celebrations and stuff like that, like that is something,
28:46
Speaker 1: not that he's practicing it, but he is watching enough
28:49
Speaker 1: videos and has a kid idolizing him his mannerisms and
28:54
Speaker 1: stuff like that to where now it's whether he's doing
28:57
Speaker 1: it on purpose, it's naturally coming out like he is
29:01
Speaker 1: done a lot to mimic that, and I do think
29:04
Speaker 1: a little bit as trolling as far as the attention goes,
29:09
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Ever, he like brushes it off all the time,
29:14
Speaker 1: which I think he's pissing people off, probably a little.
29:17
Speaker 3: More, which I don't get. It's like, I don't he.
29:21
Speaker 1: Got the trolling piece. I think he's like trying to
29:23
Speaker 1: act like I don't know what you're talking about, but here,
29:26
Speaker 1: here's the flex after the first down. Like it's it's
29:30
Speaker 1: that that's the trolling part that I think he's like
29:32
Speaker 1: trying to play it off.
29:34
Speaker 3: And I don't know. Yeah, I mean I get it.
29:38
Speaker 3: I probably also think people are upset that he does it,
29:42
Speaker 3: and they're upset that he doesn't acknowledge that he does it.
29:44
Speaker 3: But if you're ignowed, you know, I don't know. I
29:48
Speaker 3: think there are plenty of people out there flexing after
29:50
Speaker 3: first downs. I don't think it's just him, But it's
29:54
Speaker 3: the easy thing to talk about.
29:56
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. We're talking about it, and national people
30:00
Speaker 1: are talking about it, so here. But the very like
30:05
Speaker 1: traditional kind of older way of thinking, which may still
30:09
Speaker 1: be right. Is quit doing all the extracurricular stuff. And
30:14
Speaker 1: this ties into rule too, and just win games. And
30:19
Speaker 1: if you don't win games, then you look like a
30:21
Speaker 1: fool and you look like a dummy, and you're I mean,
30:23
Speaker 1: I think someone else on one of the podcasts I
30:26
Speaker 1: was listening to said rules podcast is all great and
30:29
Speaker 1: awesome and great and fab and everybody loves it until
30:33
Speaker 1: until we lose, and then it becomes quit podcasting and
30:37
Speaker 1: focusing on that and go win games, which that narrative
30:40
Speaker 1: was out there, this.
30:41
Speaker 2: Tweak m yep.
30:43
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing with Dylan, Like I
30:45
Speaker 1: think a lot of it once. Now you lose a game,
30:48
Speaker 1: quit focusing and being stupid, go a win game. Which
30:53
Speaker 1: here's the thing now that could still be right and
30:56
Speaker 1: could still be true. And I think from a long
30:59
Speaker 1: you right now today society and where you want publicity,
31:06
Speaker 1: and sometimes negative publicity is good publicity because you're still
31:10
Speaker 1: getting talked about when you might not be a relevant
31:14
Speaker 1: team yet and we might not ever get there potentially
31:19
Speaker 1: because of those things, but you're at least getting talked about.
31:21
Speaker 1: And guess what if you do start to win a
31:25
Speaker 1: couple of games and become relevant. You're gonna be out
31:29
Speaker 1: there just because of the brand a little bit. But
31:30
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like Washington where you're forgotten about,
31:33
Speaker 1: or Maryland when you're forgotten about. Like You're you're gonna
31:36
Speaker 1: be at the forefront. So yes, the second part of
31:38
Speaker 1: all of this is willing for know the next four weeks.
31:42
Speaker 1: Like that's definitely a thing. But I think that's what
31:45
Speaker 1: part of this is for Dylan too, is just to
31:48
Speaker 1: a track. Now you got to be careful and not
31:49
Speaker 1: to cross the line with the kids, and now it
31:52
Speaker 1: starts to become a negative all about me. I don't
31:55
Speaker 1: care about my teammates, I don't care about people that
31:58
Speaker 1: are coming to help me. It's now it's I show
32:00
Speaker 1: over the highway. You gotta be careful to cross that line.
32:03
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's there, but we're not there yet.
32:09
Speaker 3: But the fact that we say yet means that it
32:11
Speaker 3: could get there if you're not careful.
32:13
Speaker 1: So that's the caution with it.
32:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be such a tough thing to get
32:18
Speaker 3: there with it, would it would?
32:21
Speaker 2: I mean what I mean, I've already talked about this.
32:23
Speaker 2: Where do you sit on how he played gainst Michigan Austin.
32:26
Speaker 3: He played well. I think there were some throwsy missed,
32:30
Speaker 3: but he was under literally under dressed the entire game. Yeah,
32:34
Speaker 3: we were in it.
32:36
Speaker 2: I mean I think seven points. I think we were
32:39
Speaker 2: all on the same page. I thought he played great
32:41
Speaker 2: in Michigan. I don't know where all his hates coming
32:43
Speaker 2: from after.
32:43
Speaker 3: That game, but yeah, people who didn't watch the game.
32:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that That's another thing with Mahomes is
32:51
Speaker 2: people are waiting to hate on him with all this Homes.
32:54
Speaker 3: Part because you know, again Matt Rule is, he's trying
32:58
Speaker 3: to get the brand out there and we're not. We're
33:02
Speaker 3: we're has been not a currently is. Yeah, so there's
33:07
Speaker 3: there are people who are upset at the Nebraska things.
33:10
Speaker 3: They're all this, there's great ship, but they're just a
33:13
Speaker 3: dogship program.
33:14
Speaker 1: And again Rule is in Dylan speaking of this trolling,
33:19
Speaker 1: I think he actually is.
33:21
Speaker 3: To me, he's he is.
33:23
Speaker 1: Whether it's part of Rules, I don't think it is.
33:25
Speaker 1: But they are actively trying to draw attention to Nebraska
33:29
Speaker 1: and it's either going to click or it's going to
33:35
Speaker 1: blow up. And as I mean as a coach, I
33:39
Speaker 1: mean as a fan too, you wanna you want to
33:42
Speaker 1: believe in the optimistic side of things where it's going
33:45
Speaker 1: to take off. There's obviously worlds, and we've lived in
33:48
Speaker 1: those that it goes the other way. So right now
33:54
Speaker 1: we're we're in the we're we're in the process. Right now,
33:59
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of that. Michigan game was a
34:02
Speaker 1: big like upfront test. Cincinnati was too. But we're gonna
34:06
Speaker 1: we're gonna see, like, is is this style, this method,
34:10
Speaker 1: this approach of drawing focus to Nebraska, It's gonna work.
34:17
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't, you will look stupid and and
34:21
Speaker 1: and and my self included, I think maybe all of
34:24
Speaker 1: us here if we go, for example, worst case scenario
34:27
Speaker 1: and go six and six or whatever and all this stuff,
34:30
Speaker 1: and Rule still blab in his mouth about I don't
34:33
Speaker 1: know what at that point what you're talking about, Like,
34:36
Speaker 1: we're gonna be like, shut the hell up, like you
34:38
Speaker 1: will you you naturally will get frustrated. It's just how
34:41
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. And it's he knows that. Rule knows
34:44
Speaker 1: that too. He knows that if you don't win, he's
34:46
Speaker 1: gonna look like an idiot. He knows that that's part
34:48
Speaker 1: of his plan. Right now, So anyways, speaking of rule,
34:57
Speaker 1: and isn't as I really I like this question. And
35:01
Speaker 1: there's a couple of questions here back to back that
35:03
Speaker 1: go along with this, and it opens up the bigger
35:05
Speaker 1: conversation around nil and money and transferport all that. But
35:10
Speaker 1: you mentioned how we don't have the money to pay
35:13
Speaker 1: running back yet or something like that, didn't have the money,
35:17
Speaker 1: so along those lines alluded to it. But if we
35:20
Speaker 1: don't have the money for a running back, why are
35:22
Speaker 1: we rebuilding the stadium? So that's kind of we'll start
35:26
Speaker 1: with that question, and rebuilding the stadium I think in
35:30
Speaker 1: this case is a placeholder of one of the many
35:35
Speaker 1: places that you can be your money can be getting
35:37
Speaker 1: allocated to as a program. I do think it's a
35:43
Speaker 1: valid question, but I also think there's an element that
35:47
Speaker 1: you do have to obviously keep your stadium up to date.
35:49
Speaker 1: But to me, that's not the issue right now, and
35:52
Speaker 1: the like we, I don't think that that matters right now.
35:56
Speaker 1: I would go the opposite way if it were me God,
36:00
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to bash US Husker fans, but
36:04
Speaker 1: I would take out twenty thousand seats, thirty thousand seats,
36:08
Speaker 1: And maybe that's what we're doing and kind of slim
36:12
Speaker 1: off and sorry, old people, I love you, But get
36:16
Speaker 1: the crowd a little more like juice like it was
36:20
Speaker 1: mean for the Cincinnati game. Make it a little more
36:22
Speaker 1: of a lively You're obviously gonna want to be family
36:27
Speaker 1: friendly a little bit, but get it a little more.
36:30
Speaker 3: Poppin' bad taken football. Winning football games makes it a
36:36
Speaker 3: little more pomping.
36:37
Speaker 1: It does, it does, But I don't think that if
36:42
Speaker 1: we start winning football games, that'll, Yeah, that'll get it
36:47
Speaker 1: more popping, but.
36:48
Speaker 3: It's not going to get the old people popping if
36:50
Speaker 3: you trim off twenty thousand seats though that's insane. We
36:55
Speaker 3: sell out at this point with eighty five thousand.
36:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want it to be a little more. I
37:02
Speaker 1: don't know. I I think it's harder to play. Maybe
37:06
Speaker 1: twenty thousands.
37:06
Speaker 2: Extreme, but yeah, that's a lot.
37:09
Speaker 1: That's if you win games, it'll get louder. But I
37:12
Speaker 1: also think I think the crowd right now is a
37:17
Speaker 1: little bit just I'm not gonna say old, but it's old,
37:22
Speaker 1: which is fine because that's those are the people that
37:26
Speaker 1: probably pay a lot of money, and I get that's important,
37:31
Speaker 1: and but the amount of people that when you stand
37:35
Speaker 1: up in game, you get soon now, Yeah, that part,
37:40
Speaker 1: that part drives me nuts.
37:43
Speaker 3: Regarding the pain the running back thing, if I had
37:46
Speaker 3: to guess, it is a you know, the money donated
37:51
Speaker 3: to the eighteen ninety fund that's used as the NIL
37:56
Speaker 3: collective cannot be used for the stadium. That like, they're
37:59
Speaker 3: probably they're just money, you know, accounting, you know, this
38:03
Speaker 3: is a restricted donation towards this or you know this.
38:08
Speaker 3: The university isn't paying people, university is not playing pain
38:12
Speaker 3: at NAL bills. To my understanding, I.
38:15
Speaker 1: Think you're actually right when you come down to the
38:17
Speaker 1: actual logistics of it. So you need that money is.
38:25
Speaker 3: For this purpose, right, and there's probably like they have
38:28
Speaker 3: certain you know, grants or whatever they have to spend
38:31
Speaker 3: the money after a certain number of years. And so
38:34
Speaker 3: I mean your real complaint would be with don't donate
38:36
Speaker 3: to the athletic department, donate to the NIL That's I mean,
38:40
Speaker 3: that's probably what it really is. And what we lost
38:44
Speaker 3: out on the guy end up going to Miami, Like
38:46
Speaker 3: I mean, they also have a lot of money too,
38:48
Speaker 3: so there's no guarantee we would have gotten a good
38:49
Speaker 3: running back. And even if we did spend a lot
38:51
Speaker 3: of money on a good running back. There's a good
38:53
Speaker 3: chance that they would have sucked anyways, because that's how
38:54
Speaker 3: it shakes out half the time.
39:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I kind of agree with you Hunter
39:03
Speaker 2: on the like make the crowd younger, because it was
39:07
Speaker 2: insane how much Cincinnati, how much louder that game was
39:11
Speaker 2: compared to the Mision game.
39:12
Speaker 3: I thought winning makes the game. Winning, winning would make
39:17
Speaker 3: the crowd younger.
39:19
Speaker 1: But we don't win.
39:21
Speaker 3: But we don't win. I mean, that's what it is.
39:25
Speaker 3: People are people our age. It's like, well, I would
39:26
Speaker 3: I want to go and watch just lose?
39:28
Speaker 2: Yeah? True, there's more warm people yeah around my rage
39:31
Speaker 2: that just don't even watch the Oscars anymore because they
39:34
Speaker 2: think that'sers are losing every week, which is which they are.
39:36
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.
39:39
Speaker 3: Knock it off. We are.
39:42
Speaker 2: I keep on forgetting. I saw my blood.
39:46
Speaker 1: I need to mute you know, I'll just cut you
39:49
Speaker 1: off all this say nope, done, all.
39:52
Speaker 3: Right, I'm surprised. I'm looking at Big ten stadium capacity.
39:55
Speaker 3: Now this is Google AI overview. I did not open
39:58
Speaker 3: up an article, so I have not fact checked any
40:00
Speaker 3: of this. But if you had to guess how many
40:05
Speaker 3: seats are Oregon.
40:09
Speaker 1: I think Austin's it's not as big, I think. I
40:11
Speaker 1: want to say, it's like seventy yes, wow, yeah, so.
40:17
Speaker 3: We would be just above them if we could. I
40:19
Speaker 3: guess we would be above Purdue fifty seven.
40:23
Speaker 2: What's the what's the biggest and big tens of the
40:25
Speaker 2: big house?
40:26
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, State, pent States right behind Ohio, States up there.
40:30
Speaker 3: Too, Valley. Yep. Those three are all above one hundred k.
40:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you. I think the money thing
40:37
Speaker 1: and this is kind of the next question here too,
40:39
Speaker 1: which goes along with it, but I think is also
40:42
Speaker 1: a palid question that's.
40:43
Speaker 2: Not and this is not just rule.
40:46
Speaker 1: It is rual because we're going to grasp the podcast,
40:48
Speaker 1: but this is all coaches and how much does rule
40:53
Speaker 1: give the nil as the highest paid state employee? Quote
40:56
Speaker 1: loves the new football more than anyone. That's kind of
40:59
Speaker 1: the sarcastic way of putting it. But basically, all these
41:04
Speaker 1: coaches are getting paid a lot of money, right, And
41:06
Speaker 1: whether you think their salaries are right or not, it
41:10
Speaker 1: is also a market and you're going to pay for
41:16
Speaker 1: the market value of them when you're hiring a new coach.
41:19
Speaker 1: But they are getting paid a lot of money and
41:22
Speaker 1: continues to increase, and not just in football, but all
41:25
Speaker 1: major college sports. At what point do fans think that
41:30
Speaker 1: they should be giving their money back to the program
41:32
Speaker 1: if you're the head coach and a little bit of
41:34
Speaker 1: it kind of is when you think it kind of
41:36
Speaker 1: makes sense. Right, If you have a bunch of extra
41:38
Speaker 1: money at any job and you're trying to move your
41:45
Speaker 1: job or your organization forward, how much money would you
41:48
Speaker 1: give back to your organization? I mean, this is I
41:51
Speaker 1: guess now that I'm speaking of it out loud, it
41:53
Speaker 1: could go for any fortune five hundred CEO as far
41:58
Speaker 1: as investing your own dollar into your company because you
42:02
Speaker 1: make a lot of money as the head of the organization.
42:08
Speaker 1: It's a valid point. I did google and maybe Austin's
42:11
Speaker 1: doing the same thing on how many coaches have done that.
42:15
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of records out there. There are
42:17
Speaker 1: a handful that you can find.
42:21
Speaker 3: Well, they shouldn't be because apparently according to the NCAA,
42:24
Speaker 3: it's against it's against the rules, so.
42:26
Speaker 1: You can't donate. Basically, what I've found, you cannot specifically
42:33
Speaker 1: donate back to say I'm here's two thousand dollars to
42:36
Speaker 1: go get me the Miami running back. What you are
42:39
Speaker 1: two million, two thousand wouldn't do jack shit. What you
42:44
Speaker 1: can do is at like any other citizen, donate back
42:48
Speaker 1: to your private collective. So rule can take two million
42:52
Speaker 1: dollars and say here, collective, here's the money, but he
42:56
Speaker 1: cannot influence where that money in the collective goes. That
42:59
Speaker 1: is the collective decision. That is what I found, And
43:05
Speaker 1: there's there's been coaches that have done that. Brian Kelly's
43:08
Speaker 1: one that has matched.
43:10
Speaker 2: They did it early on.
43:11
Speaker 1: He has matched. It was like a million dollar donations
43:15
Speaker 1: or up to a million dollars a year or something
43:17
Speaker 1: of collective money, and him and his family has donated back.
43:22
Speaker 2: He was one.
43:22
Speaker 1: I think there was callous coach. I think I saw
43:26
Speaker 1: it did something similar for like it was like a
43:28
Speaker 1: half a million or something like that of donating to
43:32
Speaker 1: their collective. But there hasn't been many like I have not.
43:35
Speaker 1: I think Patino's the other one I saw did it
43:38
Speaker 1: at the college basketball level. So I think those are
43:40
Speaker 1: the three, like big coaches I've seen that have done it,
43:44
Speaker 1: but there's not there's not much out.
43:45
Speaker 2: There on it.
43:48
Speaker 3: I mean you could argue, I mean he's going he's
43:50
Speaker 3: going to events, he's doing fundraising. He's not doing nothing right.
43:56
Speaker 1: It's a matter. It's a matter of you're making a
43:59
Speaker 1: lot of money. What standard of living do you need
44:02
Speaker 1: to live in? You know, if you especially in a
44:06
Speaker 1: world where paying paying players gets you a lot further.
44:11
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying just role. This is is all coaches.
44:14
Speaker 3: This is so University employees are not allowed to donate
44:18
Speaker 3: to nil's per NCAA rules in D one.
44:22
Speaker 2: I mean, Texas Tech has proven it right now you
44:25
Speaker 2: can basically buy championships now.
44:28
Speaker 3: Institution sorry, institution employees are prohibited from directly donating money.
44:32
Speaker 3: Working for service providers are owning a stake and entities
44:35
Speaker 3: revolving around the NIL. So that's why he can't against
44:39
Speaker 3: the NCAAA.
44:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess my my researcher I did it, said
44:44
Speaker 1: he could. I don't know what's right. I'm sure there's
44:52
Speaker 1: a way around it. Maybe I don't know.
44:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, the coaches find a way around it.
44:55
Speaker 3: Are it's going to functions and fundraise money, and hey,
45:01
Speaker 3: this would be really great if we could get this
45:02
Speaker 3: running back. I think we're run running back away. As
45:04
Speaker 3: you talk to the owner of acres and be like
45:07
Speaker 3: you know, I think, you know, if we could this
45:10
Speaker 3: is the guy, if we could get him in.
45:16
Speaker 2: Yep. I So okay, back to Texas Tech point they
45:25
Speaker 2: didn't stopball in football too, which I don't know. I mean,
45:31
Speaker 2: it's failed to you throw you throw this money at
45:33
Speaker 2: these players. He's eighteen year olds. You know they're gonna
45:35
Speaker 2: be good or not. And for Texas Tech it's worked
45:39
Speaker 2: out now arch Manning, what's he making ten million a year?
45:44
Speaker 2: I think he's the highest paid player in the nation,
45:45
Speaker 2: and that has not worked out yet. So it's kind
45:48
Speaker 2: of a gamble either way. What this money where you
45:50
Speaker 2: throw it?
45:51
Speaker 1: Hey? And that it's not really a gamble, it's it's
45:54
Speaker 1: just the market right like it it's not a it's
45:59
Speaker 1: like professional sport. You're paying players. You're not gambling on
46:02
Speaker 1: paying I mean you are, you're you're you're paying players
46:05
Speaker 1: like that's just it's just the world we live in
46:09
Speaker 1: and as a market value attached to every player.
46:11
Speaker 2: And whether you have the.
46:15
Speaker 1: Money to pay them or not, as a as a university,
46:19
Speaker 1: as a collective, as whatever that may be right now
46:24
Speaker 1: when there's not many rules to it like that, that
46:27
Speaker 1: that's just where where where the game's at right now
46:30
Speaker 1: and from where it sounds and where things are going currently. Obviously,
46:35
Speaker 1: the NCAA has got the revenue sharing deal in place
46:38
Speaker 1: where and it was like twenty point two million or
46:41
Speaker 1: something like that, where the official university is a part
46:45
Speaker 1: of it, but the nil stuff. That doesn't mean that's
46:47
Speaker 1: going away. This is like kind of like an in
46:50
Speaker 1: addition to it, like there's still this back plump some
46:53
Speaker 1: of call it donations that is sitting there that for
46:59
Speaker 1: right now is going to exist and sit there for
47:01
Speaker 1: a while, and then I think that's going to be
47:04
Speaker 1: very hard to put a cap on because that's always existed,
47:08
Speaker 1: right It hasn't been quite as defined, but there's always
47:12
Speaker 1: been funding from alumni and outside sources that go to
47:19
Speaker 1: various things. Now the difference is you can just use
47:21
Speaker 1: that money to go to players.
47:24
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you could just hope you're paying players.
47:28
Speaker 2: You said about under the table, I mean I players
47:34
Speaker 2: for twenty years.
47:37
Speaker 1: Staying on the topic of rule here and this is
47:42
Speaker 1: more of a long term kind of a bye week
47:44
Speaker 1: good bye week conversation, but also big picture here. Jonathan Smith,
47:56
Speaker 1: which is the head coach of Michigan State in year
47:58
Speaker 1: two beats us and beats rule who's in year three
48:04
Speaker 1: point to rule being the wrong hire for the future
48:07
Speaker 1: of the program is gonna be another data point in
48:10
Speaker 1: my mind. Yep, I think obviously Indiana is the measuring
48:16
Speaker 1: stick of turning a program around, not saying Michigan State
48:21
Speaker 1: beating Nebraska would be Michigan State's programs turning around, but
48:25
Speaker 1: you should you should by every rhyme and reason, should
48:30
Speaker 1: we be beating Michigan State who we have, our coaching staff,
48:34
Speaker 1: our program a year long further than them, we're at
48:38
Speaker 1: home that it would hurt now wrong hire. I don't
48:43
Speaker 1: know if the wrong hire completely would go that far.
48:47
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you just get to another
48:53
Speaker 1: like question of what okay, like what direction are we
48:56
Speaker 1: going in?
48:57
Speaker 3: What are we doing here?
48:58
Speaker 1: This is?
48:59
Speaker 3: This is the game. We know it's not a must win,
49:01
Speaker 3: but if you're losing this game all of a sudden,
49:04
Speaker 3: the year is looking a little more.
49:07
Speaker 1: Agree is for multiple reasons, and that would be a
49:10
Speaker 1: big reason of a coach that is a year right,
49:13
Speaker 1: And we did it with mel Tucker when he was
49:15
Speaker 1: at Michigan State, lost to him in his first year,
49:17
Speaker 1: like it is, it is, It's a thing, right, especially
49:24
Speaker 1: in today's world where coaches don't get twelve years to
49:28
Speaker 1: turn stuff around anymore. Like you have your system, your style,
49:34
Speaker 1: whatever that is that you're trying to do, and you're
49:36
Speaker 1: obviously gonna tweak it year over year. We've our Rule
49:40
Speaker 1: has already done.
49:41
Speaker 2: It, like usually get five years max.
49:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would say this is that the average
49:48
Speaker 1: the expectation in today's society is that that's just getting
49:52
Speaker 1: lower and lower.
49:53
Speaker 3: So because we gave Rule a seven year contract, is
49:57
Speaker 3: that right correct?
49:58
Speaker 1: And you're the market's gonna You're gonna pay coaches six
50:01
Speaker 1: to eight year contracts just just just how it goes,
50:04
Speaker 1: because then they get the buy on. Coaches know that too,
50:06
Speaker 1: their agents know that. That's part of it too. So
50:09
Speaker 1: if you don't give me eight years seven years, then
50:11
Speaker 1: then you got to fire me and then you got
50:13
Speaker 1: to pay me a lot of money. That's that's the market, like,
50:16
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, to believe it or not,
50:18
Speaker 1: that's that is where college sports is in paying coaches.
50:23
Speaker 1: So yeah, I.
50:29
Speaker 3: Do.
50:30
Speaker 1: I think I think that it might it might be,
50:32
Speaker 1: and that that makes this game pretty big for that reason.
50:37
Speaker 2: I mean, I've I was on the train of saying, well,
50:40
Speaker 2: he's gonna find that's better. And you're always saying there's
50:43
Speaker 2: someone out there that's better. Nanty's proven that. So that's
50:46
Speaker 2: kind of changing my idea. There's you can find all
50:52
Speaker 2: these smaller school coaches and they can turn your program
50:55
Speaker 2: around quickly.
50:57
Speaker 3: Now, wait until the end of the year right loses
51:00
Speaker 3: to Michigan again, they'll be available.
51:04
Speaker 2: You can.
51:05
Speaker 3: After Rule goes, defend state after coast, defense state because.
51:10
Speaker 1: Oklahoma state on this question too, where I think all
51:16
Speaker 1: of us, if you had you get to pick fire
51:19
Speaker 1: Rule tomorrow, yes or no, we'd all say no yep.
51:23
Speaker 1: But as far as like a I'm gonna use a
51:26
Speaker 1: scale of zero to one hundred. See that can go
51:31
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. Still, are you one hundred
51:35
Speaker 1: percent confident or how confident are you that Rule will
51:37
Speaker 1: be our coach in twenty twenty six?
51:40
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, i'd like did four confident?
51:45
Speaker 2: I was gonna say ninety five? The only five percent
51:49
Speaker 2: is the Nebraska is like wheels.
51:52
Speaker 3: Have to haul off. Yeah, completely if we don't, if
51:55
Speaker 3: we lose out the year.
51:57
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, guys, it's I mean, maybe the
52:01
Speaker 1: percentage confidence that maybe I'm a little lower, but I
52:06
Speaker 1: think if we go six and six and five and seven,
52:09
Speaker 1: I'll say five and seven with this schedule, oh boy,
52:13
Speaker 1: and and maybe that maybe the question isn't completely fired,
52:20
Speaker 1: but man, the wheels would have to fall off. But
52:22
Speaker 1: I do think you can see that that that it's there, right.
52:26
Speaker 1: It's not like it's one hundred percent. But again, well,
52:31
Speaker 1: do we think it's going to happen. No, that's why
52:33
Speaker 1: we're all sitting here in the ninety plus here right now.
52:36
Speaker 1: But we'll just we'll just kind of keep that in
52:38
Speaker 1: the back of our minds here. I'm not I don't
52:41
Speaker 1: want to just talk thirty minutes about it unless we
52:44
Speaker 1: need to here in a few weeks. But along that lines,
52:49
Speaker 1: and flipping the other side, if we win nine games
52:51
Speaker 1: this year, what would you give us a grade for
52:54
Speaker 1: the season? And however you get to nine, that's up
52:59
Speaker 1: to you. But if we wouldn't nine, that's better than
53:01
Speaker 1: I had hoped this year, what the grade would you
53:04
Speaker 1: give us?
53:06
Speaker 2: Grade? So B plus, Yeah, I can say B because
53:13
Speaker 2: playoffs is I think an A and nine nine wins
53:16
Speaker 2: wouldn't be in the playoffs. But that's pretty good improvement
53:20
Speaker 2: from what it has been.
53:23
Speaker 1: I like the grade yeah, I like that in the
53:25
Speaker 1: B range, especially with the schedule this year, right Like,
53:29
Speaker 1: to me, that would be a you did what you
53:31
Speaker 1: needed to do and probably got one. That it was
53:35
Speaker 1: an impressive win, which which looking at our schedule, maybe
53:39
Speaker 1: that's I mean nine to three would be a Penn
53:42
Speaker 1: State loss probably And I don't throw any other game
53:47
Speaker 1: in there, but that means you had a lot of
53:50
Speaker 1: other games that you kind of proved yourself that you're
53:52
Speaker 1: in this next tier, like you're you're up in that
53:54
Speaker 1: Michigan tier that we talked about earlier with them, we
53:57
Speaker 1: just obviously didn't beat them. That that's that's definitely better
54:02
Speaker 1: than like right now, we were talking about this this weekend.
54:06
Speaker 1: What's our what's our season grade so far?
54:07
Speaker 2: Right now?
54:08
Speaker 3: From what we know, it's probably a big plus. I
54:12
Speaker 3: mean I think we I thought we were gonna lose Michigan,
54:15
Speaker 3: you know, to the beginning, and it was we've performed well.
54:21
Speaker 2: It.
54:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a sea. I am like see or I
54:28
Speaker 1: am like this this is how this seat so far?
54:32
Speaker 1: You squeak out us in Tonat. I mean, think about
54:35
Speaker 1: the spreads for all these games, right like, maybe if
54:37
Speaker 1: you want to argue that we covered the spread big
54:40
Speaker 1: time against the two bad teams. That maybe can bump
54:45
Speaker 1: you up a little bit, but I'm not taking much
54:47
Speaker 1: value in that at all. So maybe that gets me
54:49
Speaker 1: to the C plus. But like that Michigan game went,
54:51
Speaker 1: like you said about how I thought it would like that,
54:54
Speaker 1: I actually think that we didn't. We competed, but the
54:57
Speaker 1: three point losses were really closer to probably ten three,
55:00
Speaker 1: but it was three. Cincinnati was Cincinnati, Like maybe Cincinnati's okay,
55:07
Speaker 1: they beat Kansas this week, like I don't know, but
55:10
Speaker 1: to me, it's like going, it's we're just we're coasting
55:13
Speaker 1: as as is and and as far as grading, like
55:18
Speaker 1: pretty pretty average for me. So yeah, getting to nine
55:22
Speaker 1: would bump me up, but it's not not going to
55:24
Speaker 1: take me to an A like especially with our schedule,
55:27
Speaker 1: it's not it'd be a solid year, like it'd be fine.
55:31
Speaker 1: Like I I think this question is knowing knowing who
55:35
Speaker 1: sent it and who has this question it. This conversation
55:39
Speaker 1: can open up bigger too, expectations and performances on what
55:47
Speaker 1: you really think where we should be at versus where
55:50
Speaker 1: we are at and where we need to get to
55:52
Speaker 1: and what that timeline looks like in all of this,
55:57
Speaker 1: and some people would would would you want to go
56:00
Speaker 1: the extreme with the people and the resources and the talent,
56:05
Speaker 1: expect us to just be competing for national titles every year?
56:10
Speaker 1: We're not there yet? Could we get there? I hope so? No,
56:15
Speaker 1: But I think that's the goal, the end goal. But
56:18
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the expectation for every given year
56:21
Speaker 1: right now. I just I don't think that's realistic. And
56:23
Speaker 1: if you start doing that as a as a fan specifically,
56:31
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be a happy fan. So
56:37
Speaker 1: like as now, as a player, as a coach, like
56:40
Speaker 1: that kind of I think a little bit should be
56:42
Speaker 1: your You shouldn't be hyping up the player and saying, well,
56:45
Speaker 1: you need to get to eight wins, that'd be great.
56:47
Speaker 1: Like your your your your strategy. I think your your
56:50
Speaker 1: your program, you're you're, you are, you're you want everybody
56:53
Speaker 1: in your program to have that same shared vision goal
56:55
Speaker 1: of we're striving to be national contenders every year, and
56:59
Speaker 1: we're doing doing that. Maybe that won't happen tomorrow, but
57:02
Speaker 1: we're doing that from a process by winning this next game,
57:05
Speaker 1: winning this next day, winning this next rep. So I
57:10
Speaker 1: think we're all kind of in the same.
57:11
Speaker 3: Ballpark there.
57:14
Speaker 2: On that one.
57:18
Speaker 1: Last question here as we head into next week, it'll
57:24
Speaker 1: lead into our Thursday conversation. Well, we design any runs
57:29
Speaker 1: for Dylan here as we had into Michigan State, any
57:34
Speaker 1: designed QB runs.
57:36
Speaker 2: No, I've done it yet, and I don't see any
57:40
Speaker 2: reason to change that up.
57:41
Speaker 3: We might have done one, should we Mm hmm. I'm
57:52
Speaker 3: gonna say no, When do we pull out the Ohio
57:57
Speaker 3: state of last year? When when is that coming state? Yeah,
58:02
Speaker 3: that's a break glass in case of emergency until Penn
58:05
Speaker 3: State if there if we lose one of these games.
58:08
Speaker 3: And also it's like, okay, she's getting pretty warm, like
58:12
Speaker 3: oh gas, no breaks this next game, We're we're winning it.
58:15
Speaker 3: How we need to win probably USC though blackout game
58:20
Speaker 3: nationally televised at home.
58:26
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm also gonna say no right now, don't
58:30
Speaker 2: even design any runs. But it would help if he
58:34
Speaker 2: took off a little bit more like I don't Michigan game.
58:36
Speaker 2: He was under pressure that whole time. I just thought
58:40
Speaker 2: there was some holes that he just get took off on. Again,
58:42
Speaker 2: he didn't against Michigan. I'm with you.
58:46
Speaker 1: I think the answer to will we I think no,
58:50
Speaker 1: I want to a lot more. I don't think the
58:55
Speaker 1: killin's any faster than he was last year. I still
58:59
Speaker 1: think you can utiliz him in the quarterback run game
59:02
Speaker 1: designed to add another threat level. Like gosh, I I
59:09
Speaker 1: the more college football I watch every year in all
59:13
Speaker 1: these teams. I was watching Brendan Armstrong and uh Castianos
59:21
Speaker 1: from Florida State and Virginia Friday night, like are are
59:26
Speaker 1: are these running quarterbacks as good as passers as Dylan?
59:28
Speaker 3: No?
59:29
Speaker 1: And I would argue that Dylan is one of one
59:31
Speaker 1: of the better passers in the Big Ten and maybe even.
59:35
Speaker 3: The country, just armed allawise.
59:37
Speaker 1: He's got no legs though right now, from what we've
59:39
Speaker 1: seen and we wanted to see that, I still think
59:42
Speaker 1: in college football that is an added element that you
59:45
Speaker 1: need to have to add another layer. Now, not you're
59:49
Speaker 1: not You're not good. There's not going to be a
59:51
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels out there's not that those are few and
59:53
Speaker 1: far between. I'm not saying Dylan needs to be Jaden Daniels,
59:56
Speaker 1: but I still think designing a couple of runs for
1:00:00
Speaker 1: him at least adds that that that another element to
1:00:05
Speaker 1: your offense. And I don't think we will I think
1:00:09
Speaker 1: the what we're trying to figure out this week is
1:00:13
Speaker 1: how we can want improve our current run game, but
1:00:16
Speaker 1: to use the short pass screen game to act as runs.
1:00:23
Speaker 1: I think that's what the focus is. I don't think
1:00:25
Speaker 1: it's really going to be on Dylan running, but I do.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: I just that's the one. I'm not blaming it on Dyl.
1:00:31
Speaker 1: I am a little bit because I think you can
1:00:34
Speaker 1: develop as a runner. But it's just different. I it's
1:00:38
Speaker 1: a it's a different level of opinion on how on
1:00:40
Speaker 1: what you think works best to win games. And I
1:00:43
Speaker 1: think you can win games with passing quarterbacks that can't run.
1:00:47
Speaker 1: And I think that's what right now the coachings has
1:00:49
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to do.
1:00:51
Speaker 2: I just to me, that just is not the best
1:00:55
Speaker 2: the way.
1:00:55
Speaker 1: I want a guy that can scoot a little bit,
1:00:59
Speaker 1: even if that sacer vices some of his throwing. Now
1:01:03
Speaker 1: the flip side of that, the second that some of
1:01:05
Speaker 1: his passing goes away, then Husker fans go, oh, he's horrible.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: He's there. Yeah, Like because I again, the casual Husker
1:01:14
Speaker 1: fans don't They don't watch a lot of football, and
1:01:16
Speaker 1: they think that every throw has to be like an
1:01:19
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback level type of throw. There's some pretty bad
1:01:23
Speaker 1: passing quarterbacks that are starting for Power five teams out there.
1:01:27
Speaker 3: I mean he was, I mean he missed a lot
1:01:33
Speaker 3: of his wide open receivers.
1:01:36
Speaker 1: And he's stuck as one of the best prospect quarterbacks
1:01:40
Speaker 1: in the country, right.
1:01:40
Speaker 3: Yea, So that it is.
1:01:44
Speaker 1: It's one of those things we shouldn't take for granted,
1:01:47
Speaker 1: that the arm talent that Dylan has. But at the
1:01:48
Speaker 1: same time, for me, that what's hard, and I wouldn't
1:01:52
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade him. Probably a wave for anybody Bryce
1:01:57
Speaker 1: und the Roods is kind of the one that I'm
1:01:58
Speaker 1: my mind's torn. Do you think actually have potential we
1:02:01
Speaker 1: don't know yet to be a very strong passer, But anyways,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: that's where my head's out there.
1:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I can see what you're saying. It's most
1:02:13
Speaker 3: but the moment he runs and gets popped and hurt
1:02:15
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, well, but apparently we have a
1:02:19
Speaker 3: good backup, so that's fine, right, Yeah, we saw a
1:02:21
Speaker 3: backup against maybe the worst teams.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: The hurt the hurt things a whole other element again,
1:02:29
Speaker 1: old old timer's and I probably lean this way a
1:02:31
Speaker 1: little more. But you say, well, we can't be scared off.
1:02:36
Speaker 1: You're getting hurt to.
1:02:38
Speaker 3: An extent, that's true, But there's an extent to it.
1:02:41
Speaker 3: I don't know who that is. That's why you save
1:02:44
Speaker 3: it for Ohio State. Right, It's like, this is the game.
1:02:46
Speaker 3: If we get hurt, that's fine. You don't want to
1:02:48
Speaker 3: get hurt against Houston Christian.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: What about Michigan States?
1:02:56
Speaker 3: That's great? Well, I mean it just depends on how
1:02:58
Speaker 3: the game goes. If we're down, we need something maybe.
1:03:01
Speaker 2: But I guess is it to me?
1:03:02
Speaker 3: Is it is?
1:03:03
Speaker 1: It? Is it in our playbook?
1:03:04
Speaker 3: Right? Do we do? We even? Do we even the
1:03:08
Speaker 3: Papo Massive Hunter it's so big. We know that it's
1:03:12
Speaker 3: just parsed down this year because but we're still having
1:03:15
Speaker 3: the same playbook that's still on the coaching.
1:03:17
Speaker 1: Staff that still there.
1:03:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't I I don't see any designed runs
1:03:27
Speaker 2: being called. But because I'm just not sure Rile is
1:03:31
Speaker 2: capable of I don't think he's quick enough to do that.
1:03:36
Speaker 3: You don't have to be quick. The defense just has
1:03:38
Speaker 3: to give you space.
1:03:39
Speaker 1: Right as far as yeah, as far as getting designed
1:03:41
Speaker 1: runs like I'm just talking QB draws or QB wraps,
1:03:45
Speaker 1: like fake handoffs a lot of times. You don't have
1:03:47
Speaker 1: to be quick. It's a it's a design, it's a
1:03:50
Speaker 1: scheme thing. Obviously you have to be able to like walk, but.
1:03:54
Speaker 3: Like there's seven to eight yards that are open, and it's.
1:03:57
Speaker 1: A scheme thing. It's not a it's not a obviously
1:04:00
Speaker 1: if you're quicker helps getting to the spot better. But yeah,
1:04:04
Speaker 1: that that's I think more Dylan. Dylan's obviously not quick,
1:04:08
Speaker 1: but you can call it QB draw.
1:04:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:04:14
Speaker 2: I so we're all out on the triple option, then
1:04:19
Speaker 2: that's not going to get bruck out this week.
1:04:20
Speaker 3: Probably this week.
1:04:23
Speaker 1: Dak you were you've gotten away from that. That was
1:04:25
Speaker 1: your thing when you started joining the podcast.
1:04:28
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm completely away from that now. It wasn't I
1:04:32
Speaker 2: saying that the Huskers should run the triple option or
1:04:34
Speaker 2: something like that when I first start. Oh yeah with
1:04:37
Speaker 2: Jeff Sims. Yeah it makes sense because that guy speaking
1:04:41
Speaker 2: people can't throw the ball. That guy cannot the ball.
1:04:44
Speaker 2: So so if any Huscar fans are complaining about La
1:04:47
Speaker 2: go Watchef Sims tape for three.
1:04:49
Speaker 1: Years ago, I think the one thing that we take
1:04:51
Speaker 1: for granted with the rogola right now is and when
1:04:56
Speaker 1: you brought Jeff simms up. That gave me like scar tissue.
1:04:59
Speaker 1: Is you feel safe and comfortable with him throwing the
1:05:03
Speaker 1: ball like turnover wise, you don't with some of these
1:05:08
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks. You just you're like, don't throw a pick
1:05:11
Speaker 1: or even when they're running, don't fumble it. We've seen
1:05:13
Speaker 1: that Dylan, you don't have that fear as much one
1:05:17
Speaker 1: because he doesn't run it, so you're not worried about
1:05:18
Speaker 1: the fumble, and too, you feel a lot safer. Obviously
1:05:22
Speaker 1: he's had some throws that you're like, who and that
1:05:25
Speaker 1: could have been picked or picked sixth but he's I
1:05:29
Speaker 1: think he's got one pick on the air. And turnovers
1:05:32
Speaker 1: has been a big thing right for Nebraska football and
1:05:35
Speaker 1: that's gotten a lot better. So I think that that
1:05:39
Speaker 1: but that is one thing you take for grant a
1:05:41
Speaker 1: little bit in a quarterback like this that you do
1:05:44
Speaker 1: you have a sense of security there from a turnover standpoint.
1:05:48
Speaker 1: Knock on wood so far through the first third of
1:05:53
Speaker 1: the season.
1:05:53
Speaker 3: So okay, we.
1:05:57
Speaker 1: Will be back Thursday, talk a lot more Michigan State.
1:06:00
Speaker 1: What we want to see here for the first or
1:06:06
Speaker 1: the second conference game, I guess, But to this four
1:06:09
Speaker 1: game stretch, the first game of that where we see
1:06:11
Speaker 1: what we're made of, see what tear we actually fallen. So, Dak,
1:06:18
Speaker 1: you want to say anything about being a fan last words.
1:06:22
Speaker 2: Well I guess go Big Red.
1:06:25
Speaker 3: Okay, go Big Red v R
1:07:03
Speaker 1: A trick
