• 3:26
  Speaker 2: This is not to those of you out there, David
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Cone the Pitcher did not become a college football podcast.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: All right, I want you I want you to know that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: All right, now, we got him, David conbe, Crane and Cone.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Well, look, I hope you can hear me now, but
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: if you're talking about David Cone the pitcher, let me
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: just say this. I never pitched for the Mets Braves.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: There you go, you're scoring points with a lot of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Braves fans listening.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Oh man, all right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't pitch for the Yankees for that matter.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But oh no, sleep So what do you think? Uh,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there's I've been so much conversation. I know you guys
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: have been talking about it too, about the fact that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the SEC has not been in a title game for
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: three years and a Big ten's got three straight titles.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: What's your opinion, like, can this be the year that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the SEC gets back in the game wins the championship
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: or or do you feel like this might not they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: might not break the schneid? What do you think?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Well, sure, every year could be the year that it happens.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Because there's too much passion, there's too much money, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: there's too much talent here in the South. I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: what has surprised me most is not just not winning
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: a championship in three years, but like you alluded to,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: not even having a team in the national championship game,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: that is shocking after the run that they went on.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: But what I try and remind Big ten people, Hey,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Big ten's having a moment right now. Three consecutive national
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: champions with three different teams. But man, the onus was
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: on them to finally do something right. I mean, you're
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: talking about what the SEC had thirteen of seventeen national
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: champions and it really wasn't like that. When I was
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: grown up, when I fell in love with college football.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: You have to understand, I was watching Miami have a dynasty.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Florida State just won a championship with Chris Winky. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: was a big Florida State fan. USC had a dynasty.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Ohio State was good. Oklahoma was not in the SEC
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: at that time, they were good. I watched Vince Young
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: in Texas, not in the SEC, win a championship, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: so there were really great college football programs all over
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the country. Virginia Tech and Michael Vick went to a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: national championship. But when I got into college in two
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: thousand and six. The SEC went on this run, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: they went on it with so many different teams. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: then also what Nick Saban was able to do at
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Alabama with one of the greatest dynasties we've ever seen
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: stacking talent. I mean, your fourth string running back is,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: you know, playing in the NFL for ten or twelve years,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Like that's just absolutely unbelievable. And the game has changed now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: College football is different, for better or for worse, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: these programs are able to flex their muscles with spending money,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: and the Big Ten said, man, we're tired of getting bullied.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: We need to do something about it. And I think,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: quite frankly, these last few years have been good for
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the S because now they are going to respond. Is
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it going to be this season that maybe Texas finally
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: gets over the hump and wins the National Championship, or
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: maybe Kirby Smart gets back on top of that mountaintop
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: with Georgia, or maybe maybe we get a surprise like
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: an Oklahoma or LSU or something like that. I don't
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: know if it'll be this season, but I do think
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the SEC is going to respond.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: How do they respond?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: David? In terms of I'll put it this way, we
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: know who the national title contenders are right now in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the Big ten. When do you look at the SEC?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: How many teams do you view as true national title
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: contenders right now?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: So we actually did this this week. I have two
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: different tiers right now, okay, and it's actually up to
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: fifteen teams. And you guys may think I'm crazy, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: if you do, like I said, hey, this is what
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: we're here for. So you can call me crazy. And
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I don't have all the lists right in front of me,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: but two different tiers right now. The first tier is
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: seven teams that I think could win the national title
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: this year. And I wouldn't blink once, right, So that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: is those those three teams in the Big ten that
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you talked about with Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana, and then
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the SEC that's Texas, that's Georgia. You still got Notre
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Dame I think would go on that list, Miami even
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: in the ACC. I think that's seven right there that
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: could win the national title. But then I've got another
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: eight teams that I think could win the national championship. Again,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: this is coming off the heels of Indiana going sixteen
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: and oh, fellas, who would have thought that a year ago,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: sixteen and oh one of the losingest programs in the
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: history of our sport. They're the reigning national champs another
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: eight teams that if they won the national title this year,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I would blink once and I'd be a bit surprised,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: but I wouldn't be shocked. And that does include like
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: what if Alabama figures it out? What if they get
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: quarterback played the same way that they got from a
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: first year starter last year in Ty Simpson Oklahoma. I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: big on Oklahoma seven and a half right now on
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the over under win total. I think that's just absolutely egregious.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: What if LSU and Lane Kiffin year one with a
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: forty million dollar roster, what if they figured out, Oh Miss,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: everybody's trying to sell Miss now because Lane Kiffin and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Charlie West Junior left out of town, Trinidad Chambliss and
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Keywan Lacy, that's going to be the best backfield in
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the country week one starting, so Ole Miss has a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: chance to meet What if Michigan ends up being better
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: than we think usc USC returns their quarterback Lincoln Riley
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: knows how to run an offense. Gary Patterson comes over
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: to run that defense. Now, if they can't figure it
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: out on defense this year, they never will. I think
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: USC is going to have a good football team. Maybe
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: they could make a run in this era. If you
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: can make the college football Playoff, you at least give
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: yourself a chance. Texas A and M is going to
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: be a good football team. Texas Tech's going to be
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: a good football team even without Brendan Sowsby. So that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: double digit teams right there that I think could at
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: least be in the national title hunt. And when if
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: we ever said that that many teams could be in
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the hunt. I think it's a lot of fun.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you know I could quibble with like
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a couple there at the end you mentioned, but not
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that many. I think your point stands. The college football
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: has changed here in the NIL era. You just brought
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: up the number one example of it, the way Indiana
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: went out there and won the title at sixteen. And oh,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: there is such a feeling now of increased parody, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I just think it's so good for the sport. Is
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: kooky and crazy as as some of this drama is
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: with eligibility and NIL and lack of rules and judges
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and all this stuff. The sport of college football when
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it comes to competition, I think it's improved because of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: this era.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, there are pros and cons. And look, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: go down to the cigar lounge here in Middle Tennessee.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: We're based out of here in Nashville, and I talk
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: to a lot of these guys, a lot of Tennessee fans,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: but really football fans from all over the country, you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: have congregated here and I try and keep my finger
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: on the pulse of what the community's saying. And you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of people certainly are frustrated. Particularly it's not
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: about guys getting paid. That's the number one thing I
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: mean this is this is a meritocratic nation. We are
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: pro free market. I never heard someone say, well, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: love college football because the guys out there play and
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: they're not getting paid. That's why I love it. No,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: if these guys can add value to their lives from
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: a skill set that they have, that's fantastic. I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: what frustrates a lot of people is the lack of
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: loyalty in the game. Now, so switching teams every single year,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: switching programs. You can't keep a roster together. You have
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: to get to we know, a roster every single year.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: It's even worse on the basketball side. That's what people
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and that's understanding, especially people went to a university and
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: sort of committed their times. I do understand that at
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: the time, Like you said, the flip side of it is,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: we're talking about a lot of different programs who are
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: really good. You're getting to see a lot of different
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: players get to play because of that and not sit
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: behind other guys for a long time. And so the
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: parody has increased. And hopefully, hopefully if we can get
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: some leadership in this sport, we can keep the good
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: while also creating some solutions for the problems that are bad.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Right now, you mentioned in your your Tears breakdown Miami
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was in there. I know you guys had a discussion
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the other day about the Hurricanes. What are your thoughts
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: on on the Canes this year and in the in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the championship tier? Like how high up do you have
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: them right now?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: I'm very all right quarterback watch wide receiver corps is
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: going to be good. But Texas A and M schedules
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: so hard that I don't know if they can navigate
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: through that. But you look at Miami Miami, I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: is going to be a really good football team, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I don't even think they get tested really that much
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: for the first half of the season, assuming they are
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: going to be focused and they're not going to Miami
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: always throw the clar a lot of times. They still
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: win that game. So has built a roster over there
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: with Miami that combined with Jil, I think they're going
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to be in contention. Darien Min's is the heck of
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: a quarterback man two thousand years at Duke a season
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: ago and comes over with the bark kid who's playing
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: wide receiver. The question is are they going to be
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: able to dominate on the defensive side of the football
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: like Bain and Mesador on that front four were able
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: to do last year, and that's why they went on
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: that college football playoff run that they went on. It
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: wasn't because of the offense, and they kind of became
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: a run first team and Mark Fletcher's running back returns
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: this year. There's just a lot of really good pieces
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: and I think in the thick of it at the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: end of.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: The year, I agree Man, I agree. He is David Cone.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: The show is Crane and Cone, great college football talk
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on three sports. Search for it, find it, check them out.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, David, appreciate you, brother, Thank.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: You great day. Thanks for having means good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: There you go. That is a machine. He's good.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That is David Cone. They're all good man. They just
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: stayed love football. It's a lot. It's a lot of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Southern football talk, right because they're all based in SEC country.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And yeah, he's given Miami praise. Jay Crane the other
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: day was saying Miami is getting disrespected when you see
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: them ranked like seventh, and I agree. You and I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: have talked about this, like that offense to me is
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: going to be so much more potent and explosive. I
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: do think there are questions in the trenches, right, But
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that kid, Jackson Cantwell is gonna be playing on I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: know they lost Malley No and some offensive lineman, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Mario Christabaul, that's his expertise. I think he's going to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: have that old line ready to play. Cantwell is an
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: absolute stud as a freshman at left tackle, and then
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: on defensive line. They brought in Damian Wilson into Portal
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: from Missoo. They may have the best interior defensive line
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: tandem in the Country and Moten and Scott like, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: think they're still going to be fine in the trenches.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like of the contenders that we talk about,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: whether you think it's seven eight, I mean David had fifteen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I do think Indiana Miami feel like they're often in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: whether Indiana six, Miami seven, whatever it is, I feel
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: like Indiana Miami are two of the most miscast of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that group.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: They should be higher than that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent, man, I do, And I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: think Notre Dame again fitting enough.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They played for the title last year and he did
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and then they're shoveling him out of the top five.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And like every pole Signetti just have more trust in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Miami and Indiana than I would say Texas or Ohio
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: state with our schedule.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Could you say that too, like, I don't say it
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: too loud because the buck fans Okay.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Buck Eye Dave was all one yesterday.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Kane at Craig brings up a good point. Miami Secondary
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: is loaded. You could see them play a lot of
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: man load the box up stuff like that. They have
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a ton of guys back in that second Malachi Tony
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: was only a freshman last year. Watched the level he
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: gets to. Now Cam and Fletcher Fletcher's animal. They go
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: three deep at the running back spot bar Kate in
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: addition to Tony and Mensa's better than Beck, like flat
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: out he is mens is gonna be a I mean,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I think I think there's I think mens is probably
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in New York at the end of the season two
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and good for him. And listen, this is Boone, like
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you're like you darnold you're saying this about Miami and
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you can't stand them now because they stole Mens and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: but but but, like even you have to admit Bone pros.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: What they've got.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They by gods, me, bygones, tell it like it is.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I do around. That's what Boat always game cars also underrated.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: When we come back, A listener asked a great question
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in White of all the crap going on in college sports,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: does college football over the NFL crowd still love Saturdays
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: more than Sundays? Has that debate changed? We discussed Sports
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety seven.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: It finally reached the month where college football returns to us,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: and I know a lot of things have changed with nil.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: The off the field stuff has never been crazier. It's
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: never been more nuts. But I want to remind people
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: that on the field, the game has never been better.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: The athletes have never been bigger, They've never been faster,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: the systems have never been more intricate, more developed. People
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: have never been ready to play so early. And that
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: feeling when you get out of your car and you
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: go to the stadium and you see the mobs of
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: other people dressed in the same colors as you, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: you get that feeling that's still the same. The game
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: is still ours. Yes there are problems, but damn it,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: we finally get our sport back. And once we kick
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: it off, we're gonna forget about all the bs and
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: watch everything on the field. Married couples will find each
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: other here, Families will forge memories that will last a lifetime.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: You will still be crippled by defense, You will still
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: be jubilant in the victories.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: We may have to stop playing the game, but damn it,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: we never have to stop loving it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: And I can't wait.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, bring on college football, all right? That is
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Jake Crean.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I want to hit some not really, but Jake Crane
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: is one of the co hosts of David khonor last
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: guest on the Crane and Cone Show, and that is
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: him addressing the exact topic of this texter's email bone
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: that we want to talk about on the show. He
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: is just laid it out how he feels as a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: college football lover that all the garbage doesn't matter when
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you get to September and college football Saturdays. But we
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: got a good question from a texter, and I want
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: to kick this around with everybody out there listening. Seven
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: oh four number yesterday sent this in and I sat
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: on the sidebone because I think it makes for good fodder.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: The texter says, I'm a diehard Panther fan and I'm
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a Sunday first fan. But living here in the South,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I hear all the time people call you and text
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you and talk about loving college football more than the NFL.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I need to know. Do the those college first fans
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: still feel that way because their favorite sport is an
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: absolute cluster? Bleep breaking news. It's always been a cluster.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Does we just now have more access to know what
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: it's like as a cluster? Does that it's a different
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: former cluster? Does the nil mess the portal the judges
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: deciding outcomes of who can play and who can't. Has
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that made the college first fans change their way of thinking?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So I want to throw this out there. If you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: are a fan that loves college football more than the NFL,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: this guy is an NFL first fan. I guess he
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: feels like empowered now because of all this mess. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: guess he thinks that the college football first fans are
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: running in droves to join him. I don't think that's
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: going to be the case. How do you feel about
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: this topic?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But I haven't ran into one person met or talking
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to one person that said, Man, I just can't do
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it in a couple Saturdays from now. I can't sit
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: there all day long. I'll watch college football the entire day. No,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: every person you talk to that's a college football fan
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is counting down by the minute until Week zero for
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: US two because we have local teams, but then especially
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Week one, where it's an all day affair. I have really,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: really back over the years, gravitated more towards Saturdays in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the fall than Sundays. Sunday still has highly important stuff.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Panthers love the red Zone channel, but I think in
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: terms of full days of action, I'm more into Saturdays
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: than Sundays. And also I know that college football does
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: have stuff on Friday nights now, but still the primary
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: focus is still the same windows on Saturday the NFL.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I know the Panthers playing that window a lot, so
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: we're focused. But go look at those one o'clock windows back.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: They have taken all these games and put them on Thursdays,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and they're all over the map now Sundays on the NFL.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Just total of Sundays doesn't always mean as much anymore
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: as compared to what Saturday is for college football. They've
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: taken away a lot of the Sunday games. They have
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: put them in the windows they have. I will say,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I will say this.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: We do get texts from time to time of people
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: saying college sports isn't what it used to be. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: hate this stuff, you know, I don't want you know
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: people people will text us their their disillusion with college
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: sports and college football because of all this mess.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: But to your point.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Earlier, I would ask those people, is it gonna keep
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you away from the television set on Saturdays? Is it
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: gonna take keep you away from watching your team? Is
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: it gonna keep you away from watching a big game?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: If George is playing Bama or if Indiana's playing Ohio
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: State or something like that. Is it gonna take you
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: away from a big rivalry game. Like I'm thoroughly on
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the side of you. I'm on the side of Jay Crane.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I like I say this all time, the Panthers are
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: my favorite team in all of sports. That is that,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: like we got to stop the world when the Panthers
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: are playing. All right, we can't be worried about We
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: can't be worried about anything else. But when it comes
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to which sport in general I prefer to watch, it's
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: not even close. And I honestly think the gap grows
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: more towards college football for me personally. I'm to be
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: honest with you. If you told me I could only
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: watch the Panthers and no other NFL games on a Sunday,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you it's not ideal, but it
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna kill me. You try to reduce me to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: watching one college football game, I will throw a fit
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: like a toddler. Like I just we have so many
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: local teams I care to watch and we care to discuss.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I need to watch the big SEC games, even if
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I hate the conference. I just that that you said it,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I need noon to midnight.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I need noon to midnight, man.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I just that's that's that is the This is the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: best sport to watch everybody play. Like the NBA, I
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: don't really give a damn in the regular season if
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Okac's playing this, I do. In the playoffs Baseball, I
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: don't give a damn If you're telling me this is
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a huge matchup. College football is the sport where there
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: is no way I'm missing a top ten matchup. I
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: don't care who the teams are, where they play, So
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I think it's I don't feel any less into it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, the parody because of the nil era,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I think makes me enjoy it more.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's a combo that it's the most fun
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to watch and it's also the most fun to talk about.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: The Panthers are fun to talk about, no doubt, I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: not saying they are, but the whole sport. You and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I could sit here mac if we wanted to and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: enjoy ourselves, and I think the audience largely except for
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: some of the people that are that are haters, we
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: could sit here and break down all these SEC teams.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: We can compare them with the big tag we could
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: throw in Miami, we would throw in Notre Dame, all
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the local teams. It's a fun sport to talk about.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I don't feel that way in talking about the NFL
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: outside of the Panthers and the teams that matter, like
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the NFC South teams, the other teams don't. Really we
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: can't sit here and talk about, Oh, what's up about
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the NFC North? Real quick college football? I feel like
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you can get away with that, and people are in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it out. Well, yeah, because like, what have we been
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: accused of doing lately being Big ten fans?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, you guys hyping up the Big Ten?
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do? They won the last
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: three national championships with three different schools, yeah, like, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Oregon's not one of them, and they're probably they might
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: be the best in the country this year. Like so,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but those battles though, It's the passion, it's the rivalries.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It's the fact that you were on here saying something
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: about Clemson and Clemson gut fans got mad. It's the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: fact that you and I screamed at each other about
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: NC State and South Carolina who.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Aren't even playing.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Like, It's just there's so many different things that create
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: passion in the sport. Where with the NFL, yeah, I
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: don't really feel it feels that way. Yeah we got
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: NFC South rivals, But to your point, the entire league
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and the playoffs, I think it obviously is a whole
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: nother ball game not until the playoffs.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You're right, in a weird way. The college football offseason
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: can get annoying at times when it is about junctions,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: court cases, sometimes realignment, whatever the nod on the field
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: topics are. But Mac, I do think that makes us
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: yearn and crave even more the actual game days because
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it's almost like we earned it as football fans. We
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: went through the injunctions, we went through the chaos, we
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: went through the portal, we went through all these things
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: that are not about the actual games, and I think
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: it makes us actually change. And it's a very quick
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: moving sport too, it goes very quick. I think it
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: actually makes us cherish Saturdays because it's like, oh my god,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we're finally here. Put the other stuff away for a while.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: It's the shortest regular season out there, like, you have
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to cherish it. That's why you have to ignore your
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: family and your friends on weekends unless they want to
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: watch college football with you?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Did you hear what Jamie Bikel said yesterday about the sport.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: If someone makes you not watch a game live and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: they say to record the college football game, he thinks
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you should be allowed to call the cops on that version.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: That should be a felony. People not understanding of college
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: football much be watched live. You can't record the game.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: It ain't like a Hornets game on a Wednesday night
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and I get home two hours late, I feel like
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: then I can recording what college football. I feel like
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you need to suspend all other activities.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So it's a spot where there's a foot NFL was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: very formulae in the in the times of the of
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the games in the day college football wall to wall,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm watching like six.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I want something so many more games.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: It's perfect for the multiview YouTube thing that I beg
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: my way onto your account for during fall Saturday. Probably, yeah, probably,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Let's see what the Texters are saying, because I do
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: think it's an interesting question, and we do get a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: lot of these texts from fans saying, man, this college
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: sports stuff, it's not like it used to feel. But
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: does that affect when the season starts in a couple
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of weeks. Are you really watching less? And, as the
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: one texter points out, does it suggest it? Does it
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: make you like college football less? Let me read some
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: of these texts here. Scott and Belmont says, I agree
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: with you one hundred percent. College football has turned into
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a joke and a sport that's impossible to follow with
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: conference realignment and player movement. Another texter says, I don't
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: know who's on the teams from year to year in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: college sports. The NFL has continuity and it makes it
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: easier to follow. Tobacco Field comes in and says, love
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: college sports. I think it's great players are getting paid
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: go Heels. That's a Heels fan still loves college football.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: That's something, man, that's really that's truly telling. Another texter
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: says the NFL NFL Sundays are so vanilla compared to
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the pageantry, tradition, and passion of college football. I'm with you, guys,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: all this crap in the offseason can't ruin Saturdays. That's
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: kind of I think where we're coming from is, like
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you said, you almost makes you cherish the season more
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: because you know this other stuff is going to be
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the headlines and it's going to annoy you during the offseason.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good way of putting it. Many.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I have a theory here and I want to bring you
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: in here because I know that you are in the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: red Zone channel as well. Think about this world, though,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Fitty of the NFL. If they didn't invent the red
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Zone channel and we were just stuck back like we
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: used to on sometimes one game at a times doubleheaders,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: if the red Zone channel wasn't in existence and we
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't move around like we do now, how far would
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: NFL actually be behind college football if you were just
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: focused on not your own team, but if you had
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to watch just Raven Steelers and you couldn't go anywhere else,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It'd be a different world, wouldn't it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: And it's a valid point because you have, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: just a handful of networks that televised the NFL on Sundays.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: You have Fox, CBS, and you have NBC, wherewith college
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: you have ESPN, all the different ESPN channels, all the
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: different Foxes excuse me you okay over there for CBS
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: the NBC's Mac. I view this topic so much like
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: with you, like my favorite individual team, right like my
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: world stops when Caroline of basketball plays, but my favorite
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: sport is college.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Football, Like yeah, we're similar.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I just with this, Like yesterday my man cave is
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: ready to go with the mindset of me and Flounder
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: sitting there from twelve o'clock until midnight one am, watching
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: twenty five thirty games across three different screens that I
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: have multi views going for twelve hours.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's no and it's just it's constant.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I can't get enough of its sensory overload, like yayay,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: so many games, it's so many things.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: We have so many teams in the Carolinas. Then I
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: want to see the big SEC matchup. Like it's just
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: it's sensory overload. No other sport bone is like that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And there's so much urgence going on that you feel
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that sense of what Joe, what helps too? I'm touting
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: red Zone? Howbout NFL? Do you know what helps college
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: as well? By the time we get to the games
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: during the Saturday, and I know, Maggie may not be
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: something you watch all the time, but I do think
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: it helps ye. Game day really also get to start
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: at early, you are rare to go. By the time
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: we get to new time. NFL pregame shows are going backwards.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: They no longer matter, don't even watch them, and the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: cast around except for Fox, who never changes there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: That's an advantage for college College.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Football has game Day, which adds another three hours onto
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Although now that it's Chelsea Bone and Everton, Fitty, I
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: would hope you guys are locked into the Premier League
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: instead of game Day Chelsea.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Chelsea gets the sound. I can see what's going on
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: on game day.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, that's a that's really good point, Macus Like
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: for me, my college football Saturdays they start at nine am,
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: they end at about two because I watched College Football Final.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Fitty is so not watching Everton over game day. Multiple screens, Baby,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: multiple screen. It doesn't count any Fitty forgot the other
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: day when I said, what's your team looking like right now?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And we had to remind him Everton with his team
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: on a friendly over Newcastle yesterday. Fit Daddy, you know that?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Let me run down some more texts because we are
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of opposition to college football here. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: don't want to make it seem like everybody's agreeing with us.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: College football is better. Than the NFL and college football
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: everybody loves it as much as they used to. Two
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: five two numbers says I love sports with all my heart,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: having watched college football in two years and don't miss
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: it one bit. Another how do you love sports? Another text?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Let's see here, we're all the I mean, they're coming
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: in fast and furious. But I know I saw another
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: one Scott in Belmont. Tradition and pageantry that's disappearing, and
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: why I don't care about it anymore? Seven four number
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: says if you think college football is as good as
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: it used to be, you have lost me there. The
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: sport has no rules, no ethics whatsoever.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: And the house football, how is it losing its pageantry?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: The colors are still the same, the traditions are still
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: the same. What pageantry has been been lost in college football?
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: This dude says, I don't like the fact that college
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: football players no longer play it for the love of
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the game. They now want to get paid and that's
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: all they want.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Why shouldn't the kids that are producing a billion dollar industry,
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: why should they not profit off of what they're doing
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: on the football?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: And look and why does that bother someone your students
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: to make. Why does that make you not want to watch?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I don't care they go watch pee wee football where
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: they're not getting played.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: There you go, even in high school, there's an il Now, yeah,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, exactly, go find your pee wee's
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and you're cooking.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Watch because here's the thing.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I bet you these pee wee were in a billion
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: dollar industry and they were the ones that were producing
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: all the money that these football players are making. They
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: would want a piece of the pie. But but they're not.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: A lot of people that bitch and complain about these
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: kids making money are jealous that they are not good
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: enough to do what they're doing at eighteen to twenty
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: two years old. That's what a lot of the want.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Those down two man like and I get to get
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: a scholarship. But if we want to we want to
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: take it away, then let's just sign them to be
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: football players and don't make them go to class because
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: my dad complains without all of time we're getting a scholarship,
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: there should be their payment. No what the money that
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: these football programs make fund how much of the university
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: outside of the.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Big set, and these kids are putting their physical well
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: being on the line, you know what I mean. Like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that one hundred percent heat fan says,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: NFL is king and viewership proves it. I love college football,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: but it's not the NFL. Let me say this. I
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: like the fact that they are different. I like the fact, Bone,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: that Saturdays and Sundays aren't the same. I like that,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: you know, that's cool to me. Uh seems like there's
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: more variety of offenses and approaches in college football than
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: there is in the NFL, And I like that. I
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: wouldn't want them to be the same. And I think
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: that kind of makes it cool. But as far as
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: like NFL viewership proves it, so I don't think each
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: individual person, Bone is going to especially we're in the South,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: first of all, and I know I'm going on long here, Bone,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, bear with me. We're in the South, which
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: is where you start to do the ratings in the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: South for college football versus the NFL, I think it'd
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: be a little different than the NFL in general, where
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you have big cities where you don't have big college
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: football programs, big college football interests.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: So I think that's certainly a part of it. As
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: well where we're at. We have so many colleges where
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: we're at too, A.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Lot of passion for that topic there, thanks to all
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the Texters that shine. Then we come back. It's the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: wrap up, Get you said for the day. Night in Sports,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: including six preseason NFL games tonight on Sports Radio ninety
• 33:41

• 34:02
  Speaker 2: you're dying for, whether it's college football you prefer, or
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: whether you're like this dude's seven oh four number.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Why are we bickering? Y'all?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I sit down for twelve hours on a Saturday, run
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: it back for another twelve on a Sunday, baby, God
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: bless you man. And I mean I'm pretty close to
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: that too, although Sundays are different because I'm at the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Panther game and not, you know, just sitting there hunker
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: down the whole time. But yeah, and another Texter says,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's college or NFL.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: This conversation has me needing football. Someone's wanted to ask
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Fitty a question. Fitdy, you mentioned you sit there for
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: seventeen hours on Saturdays. Someone wanted to know what if
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: a trip to the pumpkin patch comes up.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: That's what Fridays are for, baby, that's what Fridays like.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: A Friday nude trip to the pumpkin patch. Oh man,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: all right, Fiddy will be uh Ifiddy gets at a relationship,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: there could be some some trouble there on the weekends.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Let's be honest. If I get into a relationship, the
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: football will be gone.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Really okay, because in the past, you've not been like that.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You have been like yeah, but in the past I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: went into my sports habits.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: But in the past, macau wasn't twenty nine going on
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: thirty ball on a.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Four years drought. The clock is ticking. Your clock is ticking.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Your eggs are not whoa, Okay, that's not that's not
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: your situation.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry I was talking to you.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: You're a woman turning thirty, oh man.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't know what the hell's wrong with me?
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Yes, Fitty is starting to realize that maybe he
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: needs to change his priorities. Bone now all he needs
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: is a lady to put first in his life. Tarotold me,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Taro told me she's an all day football person. But
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: do you not when we get to the games, do
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: you think that's going to be a real thing or
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I think this.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Is all You're about ready test that out. You are
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: about ready to test So twelve hour Saturday, twelve hours
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Sunday that she's in.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: That reminds me of my wife when we first start
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: talking and we matched on e harmony and I'm looking
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: at some of the things she's into. Maryland Terrapin. We
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: live up Maryland at time. That's where she was born
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: and raised. Maryland Terrapin, basketball, NASCAR, NFL Sundays, she's in
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: all these things. Do you know bone how many races
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: she watches the season now?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Zero?
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: You know how many Maryland basketball games she watches the
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: season now?
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Zero? Like so that's the.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Thing, Like they can they think they're into these things,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and then they get into a relationship with a sports
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: consumed nut and they're like, I don't like this stuff anymore.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: In fairness, she was around, she probably liked Maryland basketball
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: during the best of years. Jirwan Dixon, Steve Bay Oh, definitely,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Monie Baxter years, Gary Williams. Many Maryland fans might not
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like a fun now a fun now man, all right. Anyway,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: So we got six preseason games tonight in the NFL,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and then on Saturday we got the Panthers. Jonathan Brooks
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: will play Canal said that yesterday, so he'll be in there,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: mixed in with Cuba and mixed in with the starters.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: We'll talk a ton about what we're looking for, who
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: we need to see perform. We'll talk more about the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Darren Waller thing. I know a lot of people that
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: listened to nine o'clock hour didn't get to hear any
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: day Darren Waller talk opening segment of the show. If
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you listen to the podcast, first segment of the show
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and the whole first segment of seven o'clock hour, and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: then we got into it a little bit with a
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: niche shruff. It feels like JT. Sanders is on the clock.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Like it feels like this may be the guy that
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: takes the role that they wanted j. T. Sanders to do,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: because Darren Waller is that same sort of player man
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: has done it and did it better last year.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Heard Joe person. He's not going to practice today. He's
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: doing the physical and inboarding stuff, so he won't be
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: out there. Okay, all right, onboarding onboarding stuff. It's just inboarding. Okay,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: what he said inboarding Joe person's words. Okay, he says hotstega, physical,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and he's doing other inboarding. Okay, all right, all right,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: and I would hold onboarding. You question Joe, who I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: think I am? I think I am? All right, let me
• 38:04
