Speaker 1: And, you know, I want to see those types of things.
0:03
Speaker 1: I think that if you can, you know, move the
0:06
Speaker 1: ball up and down the field running-wise, you know, go
0:08
Speaker 1: a little varsity blues where Coach Kilmer takes it and
0:12
Speaker 1: throws it to a fullback or a tight end, you know,
0:14
Speaker 1: something like that. Like I want to do something like
0:16
Speaker 1: that because I want– I feel like when you catch
0:20
Speaker 1: the ball, when you get in the receiving game, it
0:23
Speaker 1: gets you a little bit more, you know, kind of
0:25
Speaker 1: involved and you feel like you're a part of it
0:28
Speaker 1: right away. We've seen in the past couple years a
0:30
Speaker 1: couple of, you know, two years ago was it Deion
0:32
Speaker 1: Burks had three against Temple in the first game. And
0:37
Speaker 1: I think that was it for the rest of the year.
0:39
Speaker 1: But he had three against Temple. So we've seen some
0:41
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I got four. And Livingston, I
0:46
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess I'm indifferent. Does he catch one early?
0:49
Speaker 1: Does he catch his first? Does he go for a
0:51
Speaker 1: hat trick against Texas? Whichever one would hurt the Longhorns worse,
0:56
Speaker 1: I'm for that.
0:59
Speaker 2: Three touchdowns sounds right to me. So I agree 100%
1:05
Speaker 2: with that. Livingston catching one of them, I can see it.
1:09
Speaker 2: He was a big red zone threat at Texas. So
1:12
Speaker 2: it would make sense, in my opinion, that he would
1:14
Speaker 2: be one of the guys that would be keyed in
1:16
Speaker 2: on for that. I'll add that to it. I think
1:19
Speaker 2: Elijah Thomas catch a touchdown as well. I actually think
1:21
Speaker 2: he catches a deep one. And that, to me... Really
1:26
Speaker 2: what sets the tone for the season. Kyle, I love this.
1:29
Speaker 2: This is a great one. Bold prediction. I will go
1:31
Speaker 2: zero for however many I place on my parlay bets
1:34
Speaker 2: this year. I see Hawaii did you dirty. Sorry, I
1:39
Speaker 2: took Stanford.
1:39
Speaker 1: First bad beat of the year.
1:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. First bad beat of the season. All right, Stevie,
1:44
Speaker 2: good one. Boldest prediction. Trill becomes wide receiver one by
1:48
Speaker 2: end of season. Coop, is that actually bold, though? Because
1:54
Speaker 2: that doesn't feel very bold.
1:55
Speaker 1: And it's plain and simple. The guy just is a producer.
2:01
Speaker 1: You know, he was already like a, quote, unquote, you know,
2:06
Speaker 1: WR1 in his previous stop. I think that, I mean,
2:14
Speaker 1: if he wins wide receiver one, I think it's like
2:17
Speaker 1: 180 yards more than Satania has all year long, something
2:21
Speaker 1: like that. It's not going to be a giant gap.
2:26
Speaker 2: It's fair. Why receiver one for trail? I don't, I,
2:30
Speaker 2: I actually feel like I've been saying, I think he's
2:33
Speaker 2: going to be wide receiver one statistically this year. Anyway, uh, yeah,
2:38
Speaker 2: it's going to help to Tanya a lot, but I
2:40
Speaker 2: think he's going to end up being that dude anyway. Well,
2:44
Speaker 2: all right.
2:45
Speaker 1: Uh, I said, sorry, before you go on, like I
2:48
Speaker 1: said that one of the big things about trail is
2:50
Speaker 1: the fact that like when he comes off injury and
2:52
Speaker 1: he just hopped right into the stream, like, Dude's been
2:56
Speaker 1: there just practicing every day since December. The fact that
3:00
Speaker 1: he did that shows the maturity, shows the comfort in
3:03
Speaker 1: the game, and the ability just to go out there
3:05
Speaker 1: and do stuff. So I think that that's why I
3:08
Speaker 1: think a lot of people around the program aren't super surprised.
3:11
Speaker 2: Fair point. Rock, MB Farms, Hatton gets 1,000 yards.
3:17
Speaker 1: Woo!
3:18
Speaker 2: That's bold. That is bold. That means a true freshman
3:22
Speaker 2: takes the spotlight and either is a tandem of 1,000-yard
3:27
Speaker 2: rushers or he's the one that takes the reins and
3:30
Speaker 2: goes to the top. Man, that's very bold. I don't
3:35
Speaker 2: think it's far-fetched, though. If he ends up being the
3:39
Speaker 2: healthiest one in which, like, I think X-Rob can get
3:42
Speaker 2: a K. But we haven't seen him finish the season
3:44
Speaker 2: healthy in the two years that we've had him so far.
3:46
Speaker 2: So we're in year three. If he finishes the season healthy,
3:49
Speaker 2: I think we can get 1,000. We haven't seen it yet.
3:51
Speaker 2: So until we see it, can't believe it until I
3:53
Speaker 2: see it. Hadn't come in as a freshman. We don't know.
3:55
Speaker 2: We don't know what he's going to be. But he's
3:57
Speaker 2: got the size. He could come in fully healthy and
4:01
Speaker 2: play healthy all year. I don't think it's too far off.
4:05
Speaker 1: Coop? Well, according to my bold predictions, we're going to
4:14
Speaker 1: egregiously do more offensively than we did last year, which
4:18
Speaker 1: means that we would have a good year offensively. So yeah,
4:22
Speaker 1: I mean, Hatton, if he's going to put it this way,
4:26
Speaker 1: if there's any health bumps along the way and Hatton
4:30
Speaker 1: himself stays healthy, why I think he can get to
4:34
Speaker 1: a thousand is because let's go with this week or
4:38
Speaker 1: New Mexico or any of the other games to where
4:40
Speaker 1: you try to get yourself up and maybe get other
4:43
Speaker 1: guys some time, I think they're going to continue to
4:46
Speaker 1: feed Hatton. I think that if you go into, let's
4:50
Speaker 1: say this game, you go into halftime up 30 points
4:53
Speaker 1: or whatever, Hatton's going to get the rock in the
4:56
Speaker 1: second half, whoever the quarterback is, whether it's Witt or
4:59
Speaker 1: whether John comes back out. I think that they're going
5:02
Speaker 1: to try to see what he has. Now, if he
5:05
Speaker 1: starts ripping off 100 yards going into halftime, maybe you go,
5:10
Speaker 1: all right, dude, You go sit over there. We got
5:12
Speaker 1: Lloyd to come over here and run the ball or
5:15
Speaker 1: maybe Dez. So I think that Hatton is going to
5:20
Speaker 1: have that on the table. I think a lot of
5:22
Speaker 1: it has to do with health out in front of
5:24
Speaker 1: him because ex-Rob went healthy is a dynamic back.
5:27
Speaker 2: That's very much true. All right, Sean gives us a
5:31
Speaker 2: nice little bold one. 3,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards
5:33
Speaker 2: rushing as a team. I don't think he's going to
5:35
Speaker 2: say we have a 2,000-yard rusher. But, yes, 3,000 yards passing, 2,000 rushing.
5:43
Speaker 2: I don't think that's far-fetched at all. Actually, that's a good,
5:46
Speaker 2: bold one. But I think that that lines up exactly
5:50
Speaker 2: what I felt like we should have this season. Because
5:53
Speaker 2: last year we had 3,000 yards passing total as a
5:56
Speaker 2: team because you had the Michael Hawkins game against Kent State,
5:59
Speaker 2: and then you had Mateer the rest of the season.
6:02
Speaker 2: You finished because Mateer had 28. Then we finished at
6:06
Speaker 2: just about 3,000. So I think that was good. 2,000
6:10
Speaker 2: yards rushing is a big one because I think we
6:12
Speaker 2: finished last year with 1,500 yards rushing. So, yeah, I'm not,
6:17
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's, I don't think that's too crazy.
6:20
Speaker 2: That's actually something I think is realistic. But it is
6:22
Speaker 2: bold because we have to make sure everything works out
6:25
Speaker 2: to get to that point. Yeah.
6:31
Speaker 3: Okay.
6:32
Speaker 2: I concur. He concurs.
6:35
Speaker 1: All right.
6:38
Speaker 2: Sean says, we also hold everyone to 23 or less.
6:42
Speaker 2: I'm going to go more bold. I'm saying we hold
6:46
Speaker 2: everybody under 20 points.
6:50
Speaker 1: Whole season long.
6:51
Speaker 2: Whole season. Every team we play, under 20 points. I
6:56
Speaker 2: think this defense tries to turn it up to the
6:57
Speaker 2: point of, yeah, we want to have less than. We
7:00
Speaker 2: want less. And if we can do that, yeah, that would, yeah.
7:07
Speaker 2: We finished last season at an average of 15.5, which
7:11
Speaker 2: makes sense. Your quote-unquote cupcake games, you get that. And
7:18
Speaker 2: so that's really the ones that help you. And in
7:20
Speaker 2: your in-conference games, I think we were just under 20,
7:28
Speaker 2: if I'm correct. So, yeah, really good there. That's a
7:34
Speaker 2: good one.
7:34
Speaker 1: Need an efficient offense. You don't have to have a
7:38
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, you know, Josh Hypole. Like, you don't need
7:43
Speaker 1: to have one of those just really just go out
7:45
Speaker 1: there and go crazy Sam Bradford, Baker, you know, Kyler
7:48
Speaker 1: type offenses. You need to have one that's willing to through.
7:53
Speaker 1: It was one of the games this weekend, and I
7:55
Speaker 1: can't remember who it was, but it was 23 plays.
7:59
Speaker 1: And it was like a record for 23 play.
8:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was both Pribula and Virginia. Yeah, they did
8:04
Speaker 2: a 23 play drive. It was like 12 minutes or something.
8:08
Speaker 2: It was insane. It reminded me of our nine-minute drive
8:12
Speaker 2: against Michigan last year to close the game.
8:15
Speaker 1: It was Michigan, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you just
8:18
Speaker 1: got to– you just got to– I mean, that's three
8:22
Speaker 1: yards in a cloud of dust type of situation right there.
8:24
Speaker 1: You know, because obviously if you break off a 27-yard run,
8:26
Speaker 1: that– you know, get you a little bit too far.
8:30
Speaker 1: But if, I mean, if you can go down, I
8:32
Speaker 1: mean that, that, that type of a type of, you know,
8:34
Speaker 1: type of, uh, you know, drive needs to be something
8:38
Speaker 1: that maybe on, on the road at Georgia, that you're
8:41
Speaker 1: just going three yards, five yards, four yards, six yards,
8:46
Speaker 1: two yards, eight yards. Like you're just going to have
8:49
Speaker 1: to have that, uh, just in case you needed help mapping, but, um, yeah, efficient,
8:54
Speaker 1: just getting what you need to get.
8:57
Speaker 2: Like that. Elijah Thomas will have more TDs out of
9:03
Speaker 2: all of our wide receivers. That's a bold one. That's
9:07
Speaker 2: a bold one. I like that. I like that a lot.
9:13
Speaker 2: That's a, yeah, that's good. That's, that's, that's a bold one.
9:22
Speaker 2: Can I, do I think it can happen? I don't
9:25
Speaker 2: think it's far-fetched. But, yeah, that's a good one. That's
9:31
Speaker 2: a real good one.
9:33
Speaker 1: I like that one if it means– yeah, if it
9:37
Speaker 1: means ET has like 9, 10, 11 touchdowns, yes. If
9:41
Speaker 1: it's Elijah Thomas has five touchdowns, I don't know how
9:45
Speaker 1: much I like that unless it's like Parker's got five,
9:48
Speaker 1: ET's got five, Manny's got five, Satania, Trell. If it's
9:52
Speaker 1: something like that, I'm okay with it.
9:54
Speaker 2: But– I could see it being spread out. I could
9:57
Speaker 2: see it being spread out. I could. But, to your
10:00
Speaker 2: point it would be nice if it was one it'd
10:04
Speaker 2: be nice if it's a still a big number even
10:06
Speaker 2: though it is spread out this is good jared adds
10:11
Speaker 2: another adds one force to 75 yard rushers which means
10:14
Speaker 2: i'm thinking you're talking about this week's game That should happen.
10:21
Speaker 2: Like I actually think we did that against last year,
10:26
Speaker 2: week one against Illinois State and Temple. I think we
10:28
Speaker 2: had two rushers over 70 yards. So, yeah, I think
10:31
Speaker 2: we should 275. I don't think that's Super Bowl. That
10:35
Speaker 2: should be consistent with what we're doing.
10:43
Speaker 1: I would I mean. I would say even a more
10:46
Speaker 1: bold one would be two 75 rushes, you know, 75-yard rushes.
10:52
Speaker 1: That would be a little bit more of a dirty take. But, yeah,
10:55
Speaker 1: I mean, if we get two guys over 75, I mean,
10:59
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that we're approaching that lock-in for that prop
11:03
Speaker 1: bet like halftime.
11:05
Speaker 2: That would be a good one. Topher asks is a
11:07
Speaker 2: good one. Who's going to have the most pancakes on
11:09
Speaker 2: the O-line against UTEP? Yeah, put that in the comments.
11:13
Speaker 2: Who y'all think gonna have the most cupcakes on the
11:17
Speaker 2: O-line against UTEP? I will look for all those answers
11:20
Speaker 2: over here. Robert gives us, what's good, Robert? Good to
11:23
Speaker 2: see you. As usual, Mateer throws for 4,000 yards. That's bold.
11:29
Speaker 2: And I will say, he hits 4K, he's in New York. Period.
11:36
Speaker 2: Not saying he will, not saying he won't. But if
11:38
Speaker 2: he does it, it's New York. Very bold. I like that.
11:41
Speaker 2: I like bold stuff.
11:45
Speaker 1: Unless we just get into shootouts galore. Typically, if you
11:50
Speaker 1: say a quarterback's stat line fake is usually a lot
11:56
Speaker 1: of the... Jackson Arnold yesterday. Jackson Arnold almost had a
12:02
Speaker 1: second 300 passing yard game in his career. The first
12:06
Speaker 1: one is his first start against Arizona in the bowl game.
12:11
Speaker 1: But Those stats, I mean, he took 37 pass attempts
12:16
Speaker 1: to get 290 yards. So, yeah, yeah. I mean, if
12:23
Speaker 1: it's 4,000 and this defense is good, Mateer is 100% there. 100%.
12:31
Speaker 2: He is a finalist. Guaranteed he hits 4,000 yards, especially
12:33
Speaker 2: in the SEC because I don't think anybody's done that
12:37
Speaker 2: in a bit. Last time somebody did it, I think
12:39
Speaker 2: they actually went because last season– your leading passer was
12:46
Speaker 2: Joey Aguilar, and he only threw for 30. No, no,
12:49
Speaker 2: leading passer last year was Trinidad Chandler at 39. And
12:53
Speaker 2: that's because he played 15 games.
12:54
Speaker 1: And that's through 16.
12:56
Speaker 2: Right. That's that's that's through 15 games. You take out
13:00
Speaker 2: some of those other ones. And yeah, he's not there.
13:06
Speaker 2: Four thousand puts John in New York. Kai's legit bold
13:10
Speaker 2: prediction is we get the number eight this year. So number. Oh,
13:13
Speaker 2: he's saying Natty. OK. It's on the table. I heard
13:18
Speaker 2: Gabe and Teddy talking about this on the huddle, the
13:23
Speaker 2: Brent Venable show that they do on Sundays and stuff.
13:26
Speaker 2: And even BV's talked about this. He talked about this
13:30
Speaker 2: with Gruden, if I'm correct. That this is the most
13:34
Speaker 2: complete team, he feels like. They feel like this is
13:36
Speaker 2: the most complete team he's had since he's been here.
13:39
Speaker 2: Feels like everybody's in the place they need them to be,
13:42
Speaker 2: and now they need to just go out there and execute.
13:44
Speaker 2: So number eight, bold, and I love it. Happy birthday, Neo.
13:50
Speaker 2: How do you feel about number eight, Coop? Yes, happy birthday.
13:52
Speaker 1: How bold. It's been, I feel like it's a Titanic theme.
13:58
Speaker 1: It's been 84 years, you know. It's been forever. And,
14:03
Speaker 1: you know, let's be honest with this. Like, it's not,
14:07
Speaker 1: what's crazy is when OU has made it to the
14:11
Speaker 1: national championship game, I feel like since 2000, maybe the
14:15
Speaker 1: first LSU team is probably the only one that ended
14:18
Speaker 1: up not being like a generational team or having a
14:22
Speaker 1: generational player in college football. That seems to be who
14:26
Speaker 1: OU gets. And that year that, you know, that we
14:30
Speaker 1: lost to Georgia, you know, that team just had guys
14:33
Speaker 1: all over the place. You know, Nick Chubb just retiring,
14:36
Speaker 1: showed you, you know, a lot of people were talking about,
14:39
Speaker 1: you know, them being one of the better teams. Obviously
14:41
Speaker 1: that LSU offense was, one of the best offenses we've
14:44
Speaker 1: ever seen in college football. I just don't see that
14:47
Speaker 1: there's a team like that out there this year, which
14:49
Speaker 1: makes you feel a lot better. Now, again, we don't
14:52
Speaker 1: know because the season's about to start. But if OU
14:55
Speaker 1: makes it to the national championship, I don't feel like
14:58
Speaker 1: they're really going to be going up against a 2017
15:02
Speaker 1: LSU or a 2005 USC. I don't think that there's
15:06
Speaker 1: one of those in college football this year.
15:09
Speaker 2: Me too. I don't think there is a team that's
15:12
Speaker 2: like that this year, luckily. And to me, that means it's, again,
15:17
Speaker 2: wide open. We haven't seen a team that's just going
15:20
Speaker 2: out there and dominate. I'll put it this way. We
15:22
Speaker 2: haven't seen a team that's been young enough to just
15:26
Speaker 2: go out there and dominate. That's been young enough that's
15:29
Speaker 2: gone out there and dominate for us to be afraid
15:31
Speaker 2: of the next season. Like even Indiana's run, Michigan's run,
15:36
Speaker 2: they lost a lot of people going to the league,
15:37
Speaker 2: and they were basically starting over, and you could see it.
15:39
Speaker 2: Next year, Ohio State, similar. They win a natty, but
15:41
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, man, they lost a lot of players.
15:43
Speaker 2: What are they going to look like next year? New quarterback, okay.
15:47
Speaker 2: Then last year, Indiana, they bring in Mendoza, who's gone. Everybody,
15:52
Speaker 2: for the most part, as they win their titles, it's
15:54
Speaker 2: been veteran players, veteran quarterbacks. No one's really returning the
15:58
Speaker 2: same dude. So it's like, oh, there's no one to
16:00
Speaker 2: be afraid of right now. There's no boogeyman out there,
16:04
Speaker 2: which is crazy. I think, to me, the team that
16:06
Speaker 2: has the best shots at being the boogeyman is Oregon
16:10
Speaker 2: and Georgia, mainly because they're bringing back so much.
16:13
Speaker 1: And.
16:14
Speaker 2: They just got to go win in the playoffs is
16:17
Speaker 2: what their problem is. I mean, they just got to
16:19
Speaker 2: win a playoff game. You do that, then you feel good.
16:22
Speaker 2: But that's really the only two boogies that you can
16:25
Speaker 2: think about it. So we got some good, I like
16:31
Speaker 2: this defensive bowl take right here. We're going to play
16:34
Speaker 2: that before we do that though. Before we continue, shout
16:36
Speaker 2: out to our partners there at PrizePix, the presenting sponsor
16:39
Speaker 2: of the channel. They got a new offer out there
16:42
Speaker 2: for new users. If you play five, you'll get $ 150
16:44
Speaker 2: in bonus lineups if you win. And as you can
16:47
Speaker 2: see in the green areas, those are places where you
16:49
Speaker 2: can definitely get in on the action. So it's easy
16:52
Speaker 2: to do, of course. Pick your players, pick two or
16:56
Speaker 2: more players, and more or less on the stats, and
16:58
Speaker 2: that's how you get in on that promo. So if
17:00
Speaker 2: you pick about two or three dudes, like right now
17:01
Speaker 2: we can get Vargas over here on at least walked once.
17:05
Speaker 2: He's been getting walked at least one time per game,
17:08
Speaker 2: playing the game right. Gimme, because we got college football
17:11
Speaker 2: coming up this week, y'all. Oh, it's going to be
17:12
Speaker 2: so much fun. Bryce Harper, total basis. Has he been?
17:16
Speaker 2: He was stinky. Stinky. We trust him on the bounce back.
17:24
Speaker 2: Gimme Harris, too, as well. I think Harris has been. Yep,
17:28
Speaker 2: we'll go with it. So pick two or more players,

17:49
Speaker 2: Five stars sooner here, Coop. Daniel Collier will lead OU
17:55
Speaker 2: in sacks. That's a good one. That's a bold one.
18:04
Speaker 2: That means we get a lot of Koye snaps. A lot.
18:08
Speaker 1: I like it.
18:09
Speaker 2: I really do.
18:11
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. That would be great for us.
18:17
Speaker 1: You know we love Danny, and I would just love
18:20
Speaker 1: to see that happen just because I think some of
18:22
Speaker 1: the craziness that's going to start coming out. He's going
18:26
Speaker 1: to be one guy. That's another thing is where you
18:29
Speaker 1: go– And will enough guys on this defense be recognized
18:34
Speaker 1: is because there's so many guys on this defense that
18:36
Speaker 1: deserve recognition.
18:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:38
Speaker 1: I mean, up and down everywhere. Like, even the new guys,
18:42
Speaker 1: it is an absolute 100%, you know, chance that you've
18:46
Speaker 1: got guys like Eli and Court who just not going
18:50
Speaker 1: to have the stats, kind of how you mentioned. You know, there's...
18:54
Speaker 1: There's going to be times where Peyton Bowen just shows
18:57
Speaker 1: up and then disappears and then shows up and disappears,
18:59
Speaker 1: and there are always going to be these big, impactful plays. So, yeah,
19:05
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of people on this team who
19:08
Speaker 1: deserve recognition. And I can tell you this. If Danny
19:11
Speaker 1: goes out there and throws out– let's see here. I
19:14
Speaker 1: think– how many did RMT have last year? He had
19:16
Speaker 1: six and a half sacks. Him and Taylor both were
19:19
Speaker 1: right in that area.
19:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had six and a half and Taylor had seven.
19:22
Speaker 1: So, I mean– So if Danny could go out there and,
19:26
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say approach eight. Eight sacks. I think
19:31
Speaker 1: that's right. But if Danny goes out there and gets eight,
19:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll pencil Taylor Wine in for at least
19:35
Speaker 1: five minimum right now. And then I think David Stone,
19:40
Speaker 1: your Blitzers, guys like RP3. I would say this is
19:46
Speaker 1: don't– I won't say it's a bold– I'm not going
19:49
Speaker 1: to make the bold prediction, but there's a world where
19:51
Speaker 1: I can see RP3 setting the sack win this year.
19:59
Speaker 1: Because I think he's going to have a lot of
20:05
Speaker 1: combat and battled guys out in front of him, and
20:07
Speaker 1: he's going to get to pick where he wants to go.
20:10
Speaker 1: And if he's ever on running back assignment and that
20:14
Speaker 1: running back stays in, I don't know how many running
20:18
Speaker 1: backs are stopping Reggie Powers.
20:21
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, seven for Taylor Wine, six
20:24
Speaker 2: and a half for R. Mason. So Okoye coming in,
20:27
Speaker 2: he had two last year. He's jumping up that number
20:30
Speaker 2: to maybe he gets double digits. That would be really
20:33
Speaker 2: nice to see. I'm here for that. All right, we're
20:38
Speaker 2: going to do a couple more of these. Okay. McLaughlin
20:47
Speaker 2: gives us the bold take. We win Red River Shootout.
20:50
Speaker 2: I know what I said. We got an offense and
20:52
Speaker 2: our defense is too powerful that these boys want blood.
20:56
Speaker 2: Pretty good. Okay, so your pancakes, EPL. He's getting like
21:03
Speaker 2: the most votes. Yeah, EPL, EPL, EPL. I like that.
21:10
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. A lot of EPL love on
21:12
Speaker 2: the pancakes. Let's go for it. I hope he does too.
21:15
Speaker 2: Sooner Cowboy, I like this. Sooner Cowboy's bowl prediction, 3,800
21:19
Speaker 2: yards passing, 21 touchdowns, six rushing, three picks.
21:26
Speaker 1: I love every bit about that. If John Mateer throws
21:29
Speaker 1: only three interceptions with those stats, you can say that.
21:32
Speaker 1: New York. But if they're only taking three to New York,
21:38
Speaker 1: John's one of them even in that scenario.
21:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be wild. Three just sounds too low for me.
21:43
Speaker 2: I would love for that. You know, I'll accept that
21:47
Speaker 2: bold prediction. I will accept it. Last year, John didn't
21:49
Speaker 2: run for eight touchdowns. I could totally see him run
21:52
Speaker 2: for more. Because I think that we're going to spend
21:56
Speaker 2: more time in the red zone. As Sean kind of
21:57
Speaker 2: pointed out here, if here it is, where did we go? Boom, boom, boom.
22:03
Speaker 2: Control of possession on offense and score 93% of the time,
22:06
Speaker 2: and you can do it. It's easily possible if we
22:09
Speaker 2: run the ball even three points. This is a good score.
22:12
Speaker 2: Last season, Coop, we scored 97% of the time in
22:16
Speaker 2: the red zone. We were the highest scoring team in
22:19
Speaker 2: college football in the red zone.
22:20
Speaker 1: We were.
22:21
Speaker 2: Last season. We were at the top of the chart.
22:25
Speaker 2: If you watch my video, I actually dropped a video
22:27
Speaker 2: on it early this week. It's actually the end of
22:29
Speaker 2: this week. And that was my focal point. If we
22:32
Speaker 2: can replicate that stat, 97% and we have a run game,
22:37
Speaker 2: that means that we're going to get to the red
22:39
Speaker 2: zone more and we're going to score more. Because MVP
22:41
Speaker 2: was like 34 out of 35. Huge. That is a
22:46
Speaker 2: recipe for success. I think we can do that once again.
22:50
Speaker 1: If, let me caveat this, 97% was a lot because
22:54
Speaker 1: of Tate Sandell.
22:58
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, because they wouldn't miss.
22:59
Speaker 1: We need to turn those.
23:00
Speaker 2: That was also it. In the red zone, you wouldn't miss.
23:04
Speaker 1: Them. We need to turn those into touchdowns. But also,
23:07
Speaker 1: what makes you really, really strong in the red zone
23:10
Speaker 1: typically is John's running capabilities. Because when John got in there,
23:17
Speaker 1: even if it is a situation where it's a pass down,
23:22
Speaker 1: John can take off. And let me paint a picture here.
23:26
Speaker 1: You come out two tight end set. You got Rocky Beers,
23:31
Speaker 1: maybe a Trené Washington in kind of an H-back tight
23:35
Speaker 1: end role. You have Cetania. You have Terrell Harris. You're
23:41
Speaker 1: going to look for somebody running back-wise. You're going to
23:44
Speaker 1: be able to hold guys in. I think there was
23:48
Speaker 1: another play from this weekend to where everything kind of
23:51
Speaker 1: collapsed around and that tight end just kind of snuck
23:54
Speaker 1: out past the line, turned around. And he had a
23:57
Speaker 1: wide open spot because everything went to the outside. I
24:02
Speaker 1: think it was the UNLV game. I think it was
24:06
Speaker 1: the Memphis tight end. Because, I mean, he caught the
24:09
Speaker 1: ball and he jumped up over the linebacker into the
24:11
Speaker 1: end zone. Maybe it was. But that play happened. I
24:13
Speaker 1: don't know who it was. But, yeah, I mean, I
24:17
Speaker 1: love those concepts because I think that if you get
24:20
Speaker 1: into the red zone, we score. Now let's take maybe
24:24
Speaker 1: four of those field goals and turn them into touchdowns.
24:27
Speaker 2: That's what we need to do. Convert some of those
24:30
Speaker 2: field goals to touchdowns. And honestly, we'd still kick a
24:32
Speaker 2: whole bunch of field goals too. Let Tate continue to
24:35
Speaker 2: do his thing. Man, y'all had some good, bold predictions.
24:37
Speaker 2: I'm going to get a couple more in here, and
24:39
Speaker 2: then we're going to go and talk about week zero
24:41
Speaker 2: because I know y'all want to talk about the insanity
24:43
Speaker 2: that happened over this weekend because we are back in
24:46
Speaker 2: the football piece. Neal says 2,000-yard rushers. That's bold. That
24:52
Speaker 2: means the offense is humming, humming. And if the offense
24:56
Speaker 2: is humming humming after the defense gets people off the
24:59
Speaker 2: field fast, yeah. I think the time of possession increases
25:04
Speaker 2: a lot for us. I think our defense gets people
25:07
Speaker 2: off of the field and we do a good job
25:09
Speaker 2: of keeping our offense on the field, which could help
25:12
Speaker 2: actually lead to more thousand yard rushes because you're rotating
25:15
Speaker 2: in running backs and wide receivers and you're able to
25:18
Speaker 2: not only play some tempo, but also continue to, if
25:22
Speaker 2: you continue to move the ball, yeah, there's a very
25:25
Speaker 2: good shot that you'll have. You'll be able to put
25:29
Speaker 2: up a lot of numbers and that's basically what the
25:31
Speaker 2: goal of this team is going to be this year.
25:33
Speaker 2: We're not going to be just trying to end games. No,
25:37
Speaker 2: we got to set up what people throw. You have
25:39
Speaker 2: to be dominant at some point, and that's what I
25:42
Speaker 2: would like for this team to do. Dominate.
25:45
Speaker 1: And explosive runs. Yes. Explosive. Those need to happen because
25:50
Speaker 1: I'm going to play devil's advocate here, Jay. If the
25:55
Speaker 1: defense does what it did last year, it gives you
25:58
Speaker 1: favorable field position. Now you're marching 65, 70 yards instead
26:03
Speaker 1: of from the 20, 15, et cetera, because when your
26:06
Speaker 1: offense doesn't move the ball very much and your defense
26:10
Speaker 1: gives up maybe one first down and they punt, you're
26:12
Speaker 1: still losing the field possession in that spot. So I
26:15
Speaker 1: think that you're going to need explosive runs. You're going
26:17
Speaker 1: to need guys to take a second eight, just take
26:21
Speaker 1: it to the house, or dropping off some of those.
26:24
Speaker 1: And so I think that in order for these rushing
26:26
Speaker 1: yards– It absolutely has to be a situation where you've
26:30
Speaker 1: got some of the big explosive runs, not just one
26:33
Speaker 1: or two situations like we had the past couple years
26:35
Speaker 1: with X-Rob, but you need those happen throughout the game
26:40
Speaker 1: pretty much almost every single week.
26:43
Speaker 3: Good point.
26:44
Speaker 1: Okay.
26:46
Speaker 2: Man, y'all got some good ones. Y'all got some good
26:49
Speaker 2: questions in here. We're jumping through a lot of the
26:53
Speaker 2: stuff in here. I'm playing through it. God, these are good.
26:57
Speaker 2: Y'all have been... shut out. My bad. Shut out. Shut out.
27:03
Speaker 2: My bad, McLaughlin. My bad.
27:05
Speaker 1: You're right.
27:06
Speaker 2: Shut out, not shoot out. I can't read. So we'll
27:08
Speaker 2: pretend like we'll go with that. And Lemon, tell the
27:12
Speaker 2: missus I said thank you for the love on the
27:15
Speaker 2: white frames. I do appreciate that. And actually, somebody mentioned
27:18
Speaker 2: in here, Gabe was talking about how actually a couple
27:23
Speaker 2: people have mentioned a 2,000, having two 1,000-yard rushes. I
27:27
Speaker 2: love that. I love that you actually have confidence there.
27:29
Speaker 2: McLaughlin mentioned that Gabe made a good point. PJ leading
27:32
Speaker 2: the team in sacks, but I think it'll be Danny himself.
27:36
Speaker 2: I think I could be on the Danny train too.
27:38
Speaker 2: I think PJ has a big year, but I think
27:40
Speaker 2: Danny ends up racking up the numbers and potential accolades too.
27:46
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's going to be one of those. So, okay.
27:50
Speaker 2: We could zero went down.
27:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:51
Speaker 2: I have some additional questions in here too. I've been
27:53
Speaker 2: starring them like crazy. Thank you all for pulling up.
27:57
Speaker 2: Hit the like button if you are new to the channel. Subscribe, rate, review.
28:01
Speaker 2: Give us five stars. Week zero just hit all of us,
28:04
Speaker 2: and it was a great time. I'm not upset with
28:09
Speaker 2: the North Carolina game coup against TCU, but I did
28:14
Speaker 2: not like the conditions because this is the second year
28:17
Speaker 2: in a row they played over there in Ireland, and
28:20
Speaker 2: it looked rainy, muggy, and I feel like people were
28:24
Speaker 2: falling around on the field. But I will say, thank you,
28:30
Speaker 2: College Football Guys, for giving us some good games. One
28:32
Speaker 2: of those, we'll talk about North Carolina TCU in a minute,
28:35
Speaker 2: but this, it's really this. USC fans making the excuse
28:39
Speaker 2: that no one showed up to the game. Totally, I
28:42
Speaker 2: guess I can understand that, but in 2009 when USC
28:44
Speaker 2: was really good, they had 84,000 people at At the
28:49
Speaker 2: Coliseum on a Saturday at 1230 in the morning against
28:55
Speaker 2: San Jose State, actually. I think that was a San
28:57
Speaker 2: Jose State game, too. They actually had people there for
29:01
Speaker 2: their cupcake game. It was completely full. I'm going to
29:06
Speaker 2: be honest. I think a lot of the fans are
29:08
Speaker 2: slowly out on Riley. They're starting to. I think that
29:13
Speaker 2: a lot of them are like, I don't know if
29:16
Speaker 2: I believe it. And I think it was really after
29:18
Speaker 2: Lynn left, after being there for two years, he bounced
29:21
Speaker 2: and went to Penn State to take the same job.
29:24
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand he played there, but he's from Salina, Texas.
29:26
Speaker 2: So I would have thunk he would have, you know,
29:28
Speaker 2: I mean, he left UCLA to go there to do
29:31
Speaker 2: that job. And for two years, he saw improvement, but
29:34
Speaker 2: then he bounces again. Not for a head coaching job?
29:39
Speaker 2: That sounds concerning to me.
29:41
Speaker 1: I don't know about you and Cedar Cowboys I'm gonna
29:43
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start my answer with your message here Jay
29:47
Speaker 1: we were sitting at the spring game and I was
29:49
Speaker 1: looking around and I was like it always looks like
29:51
Speaker 1: there's more people out here than there is and I
29:53
Speaker 1: said I believe the number I said, I think there's 30,000
29:57
Speaker 1: here and it needed to be, I think it ended
29:59
Speaker 1: up being within like 1100 people. I say 50,000 is
30:04
Speaker 1: horse manure. Uh, and I think that you're probably right. It's,
30:09
Speaker 1: it's probably, uh, it was probably somewhere in the 35
30:13
Speaker 1: to 40,000. Uh, but a hundred percent it's people, they want,
30:23
Speaker 1: They don't want more of the same with Lincoln. It's
30:26
Speaker 1: just the same situation as if he was here, if
30:29
Speaker 1: he was anywhere else. They're going to say, okay, cute,
30:32
Speaker 1: you got an offense. Cute, you got a bunch of
30:35
Speaker 1: freshmen on offense that are doing great things. You got
30:38
Speaker 1: a five-star tight end. You got a five-star. It's nuts.
30:41
Speaker 1: And then our boy, Luke Wafel, he has one big
30:47
Speaker 1: play early in, and everybody goes crazy. One dude ain't
30:51
Speaker 1: going to help you. At no point, we're talking movies
30:56
Speaker 1: or anything like that. You need more than just Thor.
30:59
Speaker 1: You've got to have a whole set of Avengers. And
31:02
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be it. Whether it's
31:05
Speaker 1: attention span or whatever. If we Oklahoma fans are watching
31:10
Speaker 1: this game on Friday night and we get out to
31:12
Speaker 1: a giant lead and all of a sudden we give
31:14
Speaker 1: up 30 in the second half to UTEP, we're all
31:17
Speaker 1: going to be pissed. And people are going to be
31:19
Speaker 1: really upset about it immediately.
31:22
Speaker 2: I think it was a great point.
31:23
Speaker 1: And people are tired of it. People are tired, tired
31:26
Speaker 1: of the Lincoln Riley nonsense.
31:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was a great point made in
31:29
Speaker 2: the cord about this and talking about it is that yes,
31:35
Speaker 2: we too, like most treat our non-cons, those quote unquote
31:42
Speaker 2: cupcake games, like scrimmages, right? They're live scrimmages. That's how
31:45
Speaker 2: we treat them. They ain't getting up a whole bunch
31:48
Speaker 2: of points like that. They ain't giving up 20 something points, uh,
31:53
Speaker 2: Like that, actually I don't think BV has yet. Now
31:57
Speaker 2: think about it. I'm going to go look at all
31:58
Speaker 2: these numbers. Now, Tulane was close, and that was also
32:01
Speaker 2: because of a pick six that, speaking of Jackson Arnold, threw.
32:07
Speaker 2: But you beat up on those. You may score 35,
32:10
Speaker 2: 40 points in your game, but you were giving up
32:14
Speaker 2: three to seven. Less than 10 is what your goal
32:17
Speaker 2: is in those, and been pretty consistent with that. That's
32:22
Speaker 2: going to become a problem after a while. I mean,
32:24
Speaker 2: giving up 23 points in the fourth quarter of San
32:25
Speaker 2: Jose State, which isn't a bad team, but you should
32:30
Speaker 2: be superior in talent. That's a lot of points, man.
32:33
Speaker 2: That is a lot of points. So 26-14 in the
32:36
Speaker 2: second half. Yeah.
32:42
Speaker 1: I think it's an attitude of your players that they
32:47
Speaker 1: don't have the professional pride to be like, now shut
32:50
Speaker 1: this shit down. We're not doing this. You're going... We
32:52
Speaker 1: are going to preserve this one score allowance or whatever.
32:57
Speaker 1: Because I promise you this. Every single person we're watching
33:03
Speaker 1: coming out of the locker room at halftime say that
33:05
Speaker 1: we're up 35-0. More people than not are going to
33:10
Speaker 1: be thinking, let's get the damn shutout. And a lot
33:14
Speaker 1: of the players are going to do the exact same
33:17
Speaker 1: thought process because it reflects their head coach. It's the
33:20
Speaker 1: exact opposite over there. It is 100%. You are reflecting
33:27
Speaker 1: your head coach. There's no killer mentality because they probably
33:30
Speaker 1: should have thrown 60 up against them. But that same
33:35
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, you know, egotistical offense to where I said
33:39
Speaker 1: it when he was here. It's like, because I remember C.D.
33:43
Speaker 1: Lamb dropping two passes in a game that was a really,
33:46
Speaker 1: really tight game. And there was no remorse. There was no,
33:50
Speaker 1: There was no letdown. It was just a clap of
33:53
Speaker 1: the hands. I'd be pissed if I'm that type of
33:57
Speaker 1: level on offense, and I just did it. Made a
34:00
Speaker 1: big mistake. So that's what I want to see out
34:03
Speaker 1: of Lincoln Riley. Until I see people being extremely visibly
34:08
Speaker 1: agitated by failure on the field, we know it's going
34:11
Speaker 1: to be more of the same. Agree.
34:13
Speaker 2: Straight up. Okay. Jackson Arnold. Lincoln Riley will bolt to
34:21
Speaker 2: FSU no I think well actually ACC doesn't feel like
34:24
Speaker 2: it will be a bad move for him but I
34:26
Speaker 2: think he's more of a Big 12 coach if Baylor
34:29
Speaker 2: opens I'd see him picking up a phone and talking
34:33
Speaker 2: maybe even TCU Sonny Dyches I don't think he's just
34:37
Speaker 2: got an extension here this summer so he shouldn't be
34:39
Speaker 2: on the hot seat but I mean he went nine
34:41
Speaker 2: and four two years in a row shouldn't be on
34:43
Speaker 2: the hot seat but that game against North Carolina.
34:48
Speaker 1: Stinky Yeah, but after what they just paid for that
34:53
Speaker 1: freshman recruiting class and what they're already working on already,
34:57
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's buyout's almost $ 70 million. I think it's like
35:01
Speaker 1: $ 66 million. So he's going to have to tuck tail
35:06
Speaker 1: and head out, and there's going to be shenanigans about it. No,
35:10
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the head coach at Florida State.
35:12
Speaker 1: But I would say, Aranda winning the big Benji, take
35:16
Speaker 1: a lap. Take a lap. But I just 100%, I
35:22
Speaker 1: don't believe that Lincoln Riley, I don't, I mean, he,
35:27
Speaker 1: this is your best example. This is your, like, Jay,
35:31
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to harp on this, but this one
35:33
Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. You're Lincoln Riley. They gave you
35:37
Speaker 1: 10-year contract to leave Oklahoma. Where's Lincoln Riley scheduled to
35:43
Speaker 1: finish this year? In the Big Ten? What place? Like fourth?
35:52
Speaker 1: Something like that.
35:53
Speaker 2: It's third to fifth. Yeah.
35:55
Speaker 1: Third to fifth. And the difference between a Brent Venables
35:59
Speaker 1: in the SEC and Lincoln Riley in the Big Ten
36:03
Speaker 1: is Brent Venables took over and just said, all right,
36:08
Speaker 1: let's take everything out the closet and let's start building
36:11
Speaker 1: this thing back the way we want to. Lincoln went
36:13
Speaker 1: straight over there, took Caleb Williams, took some wide receivers, etc.
36:22
Speaker 1: He was playing for a conference championship that next year.
36:27
Speaker 1: He had the Heisman winning quarterback. We're still talking about,
36:31
Speaker 1: does Lincoln Riley have the right pieces? It's been five years.
36:36
Speaker 1: If someone keeps telling you who they are, eventually you've
36:39
Speaker 1: got to listen.
36:41
Speaker 2: I believe him. I believe him. Yeah. Speaking of the
36:45
Speaker 2: quarterback spot, kind of funny. Jackson Arnold took a sack
36:47
Speaker 2: to close out the UNLV game.
36:50
Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
36:50
Speaker 2: I think he had six. He was sacked six times
36:54
Speaker 2: in that game. Six. He was sacked six times.
36:58
Speaker 1: Because I kind of lit into somebody who was rage
37:03
Speaker 1: baiting Sooner fans online. I did not have my self-control.
37:07
Speaker 1: I was agitated about my internet. But It's empty calories.
37:12
Speaker 1: That's what Jackson Arnold's performance was. Like, he had a
37:15
Speaker 1: great game against Baylor running the ball last year. 37
37:17
Speaker 1: attempts for 291 yards. I mean, that's like, you know,
37:22
Speaker 1: it was like seven yards per attempt. And you score
37:26
Speaker 1: 21 points in this new offense that you're apparently, you know,
37:30
Speaker 1: behind an offensive genius. And you still lost to Memphis. Yeah.
37:38
Speaker 1: I don't want Jackson Arnold to fail, but I think
37:41
Speaker 1: that we can put it behind us now that Jackson
37:44
Speaker 1: Arnold was mismanaged at Oklahoma and Auburn. Could it have
37:48
Speaker 1: been better?
37:49
Speaker 2: 100%.
37:49
Speaker 1: 100%, yes. Worst situation. But Jackson Arnold is terrified to
37:56
Speaker 1: throw a 50-50 ball. He's terrified to take a chance.
37:59
Speaker 1: He's going to take off running if he sees green
38:01
Speaker 1: space and he's going to get down. But he's terrified
38:03
Speaker 1: to take a chance. So he may go to the
38:06
Speaker 1: end of the year. with UNLV and have very, very
38:09
Speaker 1: small turnover numbers, but he's going to be around 30 sacks.
38:13
Speaker 1: And I can tell you this, Jay, he's about 20,
38:18
Speaker 1: almost 20% there already. So he's going to have a
38:22
Speaker 1: good amount of sacks. Yeah, that's true.
38:25
Speaker 2: He threw some nice balls. Like it was the touchdown
38:29
Speaker 2: he threw looked just like the one he threw against Tulsa.
38:32
Speaker 2: Like I tweeted out and that was one thing I
38:34
Speaker 2: pointed out. I was like, Jackson Arnold looked just like
38:35
Speaker 2: the Jackson Arnold we saw against Tulsa. he looked good.
38:39
Speaker 2: Just get out there, throwing the ball, letting it go.
38:42
Speaker 2: And then of course, the end of the game, kind
38:43
Speaker 2: of as the game continued and the pressure mounted on,
38:48
Speaker 2: it's give me two and a half quarters of them.
38:51
Speaker 2: And I think he's fantastic. It feels like once you
38:53
Speaker 2: get close to that fourth quarter, it's just like, like
38:57
Speaker 2: he's playing too many quarters. Then he starts to think
38:59
Speaker 2: too much. I don't know what it is, but it
39:02
Speaker 2: feels like he does fall apart in that capacity. But, Yeah,
39:12
Speaker 2: he was throwing some nice passes, man. He was throwing
39:14
Speaker 2: some good stuff, but he just did not. Like you said,
39:18
Speaker 2: it's really empty calories and a lot of stuff that
39:20
Speaker 2: he'd be doing.
39:21
Speaker 1: We've seen it because I always bring it up. like
39:25
Speaker 1: as a big baseball guy and like there there was
39:28
Speaker 1: a guy on the st louis cardinals years ago named
39:30
Speaker 1: john j john j would hit nearly 300 every year
39:35
Speaker 1: he'd have somewhere between 15 and 24 home runs every
39:40
Speaker 1: year and if you went back and looked most of
39:43
Speaker 1: his home runs were when they were down 10 to
39:46
Speaker 1: nothing or when they were up 13 to 2 Most
39:49
Speaker 1: of his big like there was never like game changing
39:52
Speaker 1: base hits. And I think that's the same thing with
39:54
Speaker 1: Jackson is, yeah, against Temple, you're willing to throw the
39:57
Speaker 1: ball up and let some guys do some stuff. But
40:01
Speaker 1: if I was Dan Mullen, that running back that they had,
40:05
Speaker 1: that guy's got to touch the ball 50 times for
40:07
Speaker 1: me in that game, because that game right there went
40:11
Speaker 1: from justifying people having UNLV in the playoff game. And
40:17
Speaker 1: gave you a good jump up. Now all of a sudden,
40:20
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold took six sacks and scored 21 against Memphis.
40:24
Speaker 1: First game of the year. And now it's going to
40:26
Speaker 1: take a miracle and a lot of shit to happen
40:28
Speaker 1: up in front. Sorry for my language. But it's going
40:30
Speaker 1: to take a lot of stuff to happen out in
40:32
Speaker 1: front of them for him to get UNLV back in
40:35
Speaker 1: that spot. But I think that you no holds barred.
40:38
Speaker 1: Go ahead. I was going to say, you just got
40:45
Speaker 1: to go no holds barred. You got to go win
40:47
Speaker 1: that game because you don't– I mean, like Notre Dame.
40:51
Speaker 1: They've got Miami. They've got Navy. You do whatever it
40:55
Speaker 1: takes to win those games. Whatever. I saw somebody in
40:57
Speaker 1: the comments earlier. You just go out and win. Do
41:01
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. I don't want to lose these games.
41:04
Speaker 1: You kill yourself to win those games because the South
41:08
Speaker 1: Carolina game on the road last year, that looked like
41:10
Speaker 1: it was somewhat handed to you. But that Ole Miss game,
41:14
Speaker 1: those small little mistakes are the reason why you're sitting
41:17
Speaker 1: there with an L and a bitter taste in your mouth.
41:19
Speaker 1: And right now I can promise you, practice, that the
41:22
Speaker 1: quarterback competition is still open this week.
41:26
Speaker 2: That leads me right here to what Kai has to say.
41:30
Speaker 2: So now Boise State's got that G5 spot. Man, I
41:33
Speaker 2: had UNLV and New Mexico as teams that I thought
41:37
Speaker 2: were going to be able to do it. Let me
41:39
Speaker 2: say this too real quick. I don't see my boy
41:43
Speaker 2: Chuck's not in the comment section. Surprisingly, I wanted a
41:47
Speaker 2: bold one from Chuck. I'm a little hurt. There it is, Chuck.
41:51
Speaker 2: There it is. That football weather. I did see you
41:53
Speaker 2: in it. There you go, Chuck.
41:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
41:56
Speaker 2: So I'm going to have to retract my thoughts on
41:57
Speaker 2: how that New Mexico game is going to go this year, Coop.
42:01
Speaker 2: Starting quarterback got hurt. And they relied heavily on that kid,
42:07
Speaker 2: on Jack. They relied heavily on that kid. He gone.
42:12
Speaker 2: Now he gone.
42:13
Speaker 1: It was like Darian Mensah at Tulane.
42:18
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what he was.
42:19
Speaker 1: Darian Mensah at Tulane is kind of the good comp. Yeah, sure,
42:22
Speaker 1: you got some pieces around you, but you needed him.
42:26
Speaker 1: there to do some damage.
42:28
Speaker 2: Yeah jack was supposed to have been that dude like
42:31
Speaker 2: he was he they expected him to take the next
42:34
Speaker 2: leap for them and he was gonna do a good
42:36
Speaker 2: job orchestrating offense he gone so now he gone i
42:40
Speaker 2: i don't know i don't know what what what what
42:42
Speaker 2: new mexico going to new mexico was my pick to
42:45
Speaker 2: make it as a g5 team like that was my
42:46
Speaker 2: point was he's they were gonna make the playoffs in
42:48
Speaker 2: my eyes they ain't making it no more like my
42:51
Speaker 2: bad jason was it an acl good proof Yeah, I
42:54
Speaker 2: think so. He's done for the year. I know he's
42:55
Speaker 2: completely done. They've already announced that he's gone for the year.
42:59
Speaker 2: So they're figuring out their new quarterback. Now my big
43:02
Speaker 2: question is going to be, can Eck surprise us all
43:07
Speaker 2: this year? Can he do it? But yeah, starting quarterback
43:13
Speaker 2: done for the year. That sucks.
43:19
Speaker 1: Tough.
43:21
Speaker 2: So tough. Gosh. We'll see if Ed gets another job.
43:24
Speaker 2: But at the same time. So, Chuck, that's what it was.
43:26
Speaker 2: That's what I was looking for you to say. Yeah.
43:30
Speaker 2: That's where the challenge was supposed to come from. New
43:33
Speaker 2: Mexico was him being another year in the system, them
43:37
Speaker 2: going 9-4 last year, them playing to go into playoffs.
43:40
Speaker 2: Now I think Mexico's done. They destroyed my entire predicted
43:43
Speaker 2: bracket when I saw that. I was mad. I almost
43:45
Speaker 2: threw something. Like, dang it, guys. You guys are my pick. But.
43:51
Speaker 1: Now you don't– every year we have one of those
43:54
Speaker 1: rinky-dink teams that you're like, yeah, but look at what
43:57
Speaker 1: they're doing over there. That's why. And now we just
44:01
Speaker 1: won't have that this year because I don't think UTEP
44:03
Speaker 1: is going to be competing for anything, and New Mexico
44:05
Speaker 1: is the other one. So good thing about nine conference games.
44:10
Speaker 1: But UTEP is going to be bad. New Mexico is
44:12
Speaker 1: probably going to be a team that's fighting somewhere between 7-5,
44:17
Speaker 1: 8-4 without a starting quarterback. Unless– Unless you just got
44:21
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady-esque backup.
44:25
Speaker 2: Nah. I'm not even going to pretend like that's even
44:27
Speaker 2: realistic there. But as Kai kind of mentioned here, North
44:30
Speaker 2: Dakota State, they care. They care. North Dakota State cares
44:37
Speaker 2: about football. They were basically sold out in their first game.
44:40
Speaker 2: It was out there pretty dominant. North Dakota State is
44:42
Speaker 2: going to be a problem for that rank here in
44:47
Speaker 2: the future.
44:48
Speaker 1: Um, from there though, next Appalachian, next Appalachian state. Yep.
44:54
Speaker 2: There's actually the arm. Um, from there though, that's kind
44:59
Speaker 2: of the bad situations. Shout out to Stanford. Sorry for
45:02
Speaker 2: y'all that took Hawaii. My bad to y'all. Shout out
45:07
Speaker 2: to Davis Warren though. He was frying out there, Coop.
45:11
Speaker 2: he was cooking. That was the most fun game of
45:16
Speaker 2: all of them that I watched, especially with the scoop
45:18
Speaker 2: and score. I love the fact that the Stanford kid
45:21
Speaker 2: was calculating in his brain if he should score the
45:24
Speaker 2: touchdown or not before he scored the touchdown. He scooped
45:27
Speaker 2: it up, ran there, he started like the threes, like, wait,
45:29
Speaker 2: should I go ahead? Oh, time, we're good. Boom. Did
45:32
Speaker 2: the math equation that fast in the risk-reward and went
45:36
Speaker 2: ahead and got the points. Impressed.
45:39
Speaker 1: Now, Samajay did it against Oklahoma State, and I think
45:43
Speaker 1: X-Rob's done it, too.
45:45
Speaker 2: X-Rob did it against Tennessee. I'll give you the statement.
45:47
Speaker 2: Damon Salchuk did it against UCF. Yeah, I mean, it
45:49
Speaker 2: seems like it's just... Oh, yeah, there's another one. Yeah,
45:52
Speaker 2: I thought it was funny. He did that, though.
45:57
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but, man,
46:01
Speaker 1: just watching Andrew Luck down there on the sideline, I
46:07
Speaker 1: still just... I mean, I watch Aaron Rodgers' decrepit just
46:10
Speaker 1: weird Ricky Williams brain, like out there still trying to
46:14
Speaker 1: play it 67 years old. And like, man, Andrew Luck,
46:19
Speaker 1: just still like he, you know, he has, he has
46:22
Speaker 1: a great head on him obviously because now he's the GM,
46:25
Speaker 1: he's standing there on the sideline. I was just digging it.
46:27
Speaker 1: But I mean, there were a couple of people that
46:30
Speaker 1: I thought that just really looks like you know, a
46:33
Speaker 1: couple of their changes. One of them was obviously Stanford,
46:36
Speaker 1: the way that they, Looked like on offense, they looked
46:39
Speaker 1: like they were a competent passing team. They looked like
46:41
Speaker 1: they wanted to really, really run the ball. So, yeah,
46:44
Speaker 1: I mean, if you took the Hawaii one, you know,
46:48
Speaker 1: you got Tim Chang on the sideline and Andrew Luck
46:50
Speaker 1: on the other sideline. That's like a throwback game. You'd
46:53
Speaker 1: have like an Andrew Luck-Stanford versus Timmy Chang's Hawaii back
46:56
Speaker 1: in the day. That would have been a good game.
46:59
Speaker 2: Would have. And I love the fact that Captain Andrew
47:03
Speaker 2: Luck is now back on the socials with his dearest
47:05
Speaker 2: mother letters. That just warms my heart. But that was
47:08
Speaker 2: a very fun game. Stanford, I'm going to probably be
47:12
Speaker 2: tuning in to a little few more of their games
47:13
Speaker 2: this year than I thought I would. Hawaii, I don't
47:15
Speaker 2: know how you let that fall apart like that. Speaking
47:18
Speaker 2: of fall apart, though, hey, man, is Mike Norville going
47:22
Speaker 2: to survive?
47:27
Speaker 1: No. I mean, did Florida State win that game?
47:36
Speaker 2: Their fans don't feel like it.
47:38
Speaker 1: Can you win a game and lose the game? Yeah,
47:41
Speaker 1: you can. We've seen a couple sixes and sevens here
47:43
Speaker 1: the past couple years.
47:45
Speaker 2: Don't remind us.
47:46
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks... He just looks like he is
47:53
Speaker 1: either going to crap his pants or he's constipated. Like,
47:56
Speaker 1: all the time. Just because every decision seems like it
48:00
Speaker 1: might be his last one. People were already talking about,
48:03
Speaker 1: is he going to make it to midseason? And I
48:06
Speaker 1: think I saw several people like, is he making it
48:09
Speaker 1: to halftime? Because if you're Florida State, like you did,
48:14
Speaker 1: this is kind of like the Mike Gundy situation. It's like,
48:16
Speaker 1: how many more years are we going to do this? Like,
48:19
Speaker 1: what is the major embarrassment that needs to happen? You
48:22
Speaker 1: thought it was Georgia Tech a couple years ago, but
48:24
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech turned around and started being good. I mean,
48:28
Speaker 1: at least Florida State didn't go do it over in Ireland.
48:30
Speaker 1: You know, at least it wasn't raining when they were
48:32
Speaker 1: playing like that.
48:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
48:35
Speaker 1: He does not make it into the season because all
48:39
Speaker 1: the buyout information, that's one of the top files at
48:43
Speaker 1: the computer back at the office. Everybody has that information.
48:46
Speaker 1: And now that college football is back, I can promise
48:50
Speaker 1: you there's a donor that conceptualizing spending money for a
48:55
Speaker 1: good product is a lot. It's like, I don't know.
48:59
Speaker 1: Maybe he can get it together. Whereas when you're watching
49:02
Speaker 1: the game, you're like, Oh, it's still the same. No, let's, let's, let's. And,
49:08
Speaker 1: I mean, getting Ashton Daniels as your quarterback, that should
49:13
Speaker 1: have told them everything they need to know right from
49:15
Speaker 1: the get-go.
49:15
Speaker 2: Because. They are.
49:17
Speaker 1: That was.
49:18
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
49:20
Speaker 3: That 85% of his salary is his buyout right now,
49:26
Speaker 3: which means they won't hit under $ 50 million to buy
49:30
Speaker 3: him out until the season ends.
49:32
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can afford to do it.
49:35
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can afford. I think they're
49:36
Speaker 2: stuck with him for the rest of the year, but
49:38
Speaker 2: once they hit under 50, I think they'll try to
49:39
Speaker 2: find a way to find $ 50 million to get rid
49:41
Speaker 2: of that dude. That was bad. And I say it's
49:46
Speaker 2: bad for him because of how the last two years
49:50
Speaker 2: have gone. You can't have a showing against New Mexico
49:53
Speaker 2: State at home to open the season. You can't be
49:57
Speaker 2: 17-7 at the half like this against them After having
50:04
Speaker 2: the last two seasons you had and you live in
50:07
Speaker 2: the portal, like you're recruiting. People have talked about how
50:09
Speaker 2: it's gone down. You pay a lot of players out
50:10
Speaker 2: of the portal and it just has not been what
50:14
Speaker 2: you have hoped.
50:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
50:15
Speaker 2: That's it's bad. That's bad. They're cooked, fried, fileted, sauteed, done.
50:22
Speaker 1: And that running back room is pretty damn good. Like it's,
50:26
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good running back room. I was, they
50:28
Speaker 1: got Trey Weisner and, Um, they got the freshmen who
50:31
Speaker 1: ran pretty wild.
50:32
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how they did what the heck.
50:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. But Trey Weisner looked like, I don't want to
50:39
Speaker 1: do this again. Like he's already frustrated, but yeah, it's,
50:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. I, is it a situation to where
50:47
Speaker 1: we need a unmarked white van to go missing down
50:49
Speaker 1: in Cuba or something? Somebody, you know, all of a
50:51
Speaker 1: sudden come up in, uh, with bags of cash in Tallahassee.
50:55
Speaker 1: Like I, something's going to have to happen, but I
50:56
Speaker 1: can promise you this is, uh, If they mire through
51:02
Speaker 1: the season, I think he sticks around. I don't know
51:05
Speaker 1: what their schedule is, and I'm afraid to use my
51:07
Speaker 1: computer any more than I have to. But if you
51:11
Speaker 1: pull the schedule up, like if there's another– oh, God,
51:16
Speaker 1: if they want more burning down, go get prime. But
51:20
Speaker 1: I think that if there's another game to where– I mean,
51:24
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like– If you lose to an NC
51:27
Speaker 1: State or a Duke or Miami or something like that,
51:30
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be anything to drive change.
51:33
Speaker 1: But there's got to be somebody in there that if
51:36
Speaker 1: they lose or they barely beat them, people might pull
51:40
Speaker 1: the trigger pretty quickly on him this year.
51:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
51:44
Speaker 1: Right.
51:44
Speaker 2: And that's what I said, Kyle. They had Trey Wiseman
51:46
Speaker 2: on the roster, and they still look like that. It's
51:49
Speaker 2: so bad.
51:51
Speaker 1: He didn't take a snap until the second half.
51:54
Speaker 2: That sounds like a problem to me, unless they did
51:56
Speaker 2: that on purpose. I don't know why they would do
51:58
Speaker 2: that on purpose. But, yeah, that's definitely not a good thing.
52:02
Speaker 2: And Malachi Nelson, who was the quarterback at UTEP, is
52:06
Speaker 2: now at Syracuse. So, Doyen, the question you asked about
52:12
Speaker 2: did UTEP give Texas problems last year, they did. They
52:15
Speaker 2: had Malachi at the time. Malachi ain't there no more.
52:18
Speaker 2: He gone. Malachi threw for 209 against Texas. He wasn't bad,
52:22
Speaker 2: 66% completion. but he threw a lot of picks.
52:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would march them up and down the field,
52:28
Speaker 1: and then they would get to midfield or right over midfield,
52:32
Speaker 1: and he would just– I mean, these weren't like– and listen,
52:36
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like, oh, man, look at the play on
52:38
Speaker 1: the ball. Like, the ball just hits a linebacker in
52:41
Speaker 1: the face. He's like, what the hell? And, like, that's
52:44
Speaker 1: how most of those interceptions were. Like, there was just
52:46
Speaker 1: nobody around him. So, yeah, it's– that was– but UTEP
52:51
Speaker 1: can– It's not like they don't have athletes, but at
52:55
Speaker 1: the same time, it's the exact same thing you said.
53:00
Speaker 1: Florida State can't go out and have a showing like
53:02
Speaker 1: that after the last two years. Oh, you can't go
53:05
Speaker 1: out and have a showing like what Texas did last
53:07
Speaker 1: year against UTEP with those plans because those Texas plans
53:11
Speaker 1: of last year disappeared when they had that showing against UTEP.
53:14
Speaker 2: Exactly.
53:16
Speaker 1: It wasn't the Florida State loss like it was in
53:19
Speaker 1: the end. You looked bad. And your offensive line could
53:23
Speaker 1: not keep UTEP off the quarterback.
53:26
Speaker 2: It could not. It was bad. It was so bad.
53:29
Speaker 2: And it sounds like Hayden Hanson has everybody in the–
53:35
Speaker 2: everybody excited. He says, I was just talking to Taylor Wine.
53:38
Speaker 2: We've hit each other so much, but I'm like a bull, man.
53:41
Speaker 2: You flash any other color, I'm going straight towards it.
53:44
Speaker 2: Everybody's ready to– football time, baby. We're ready for some football.
53:51
Speaker 2: We're ready for people to hit some folks. Shout out
53:53
Speaker 2: to Hayden Hanson with that quote. They're talking to the
53:56
Speaker 2: media tonight. So they get the players in practice. They're
54:00
Speaker 2: doing media tonight. And tomorrow, Brent Venables has his press conference.
54:03
Speaker 2: Of course, I'll have a video right after that to
54:05
Speaker 2: talk about what BV said and what jumped out to
54:07
Speaker 2: me in preparation for this game. A couple more questions
54:10
Speaker 2: in here that I did see, y'all. I starred them.
54:13
Speaker 2: Truth asks a good question here. Is there a chance
54:16
Speaker 2: the game against Georgia at Athens decides that the season
54:18
Speaker 2: goes undefeated or not? Yes. I do think that that's
54:23
Speaker 2: the one that determines if we can go undefeated or not.
54:26
Speaker 2: They feel like the toughest one. Period.
54:32
Speaker 1: I will say that by the verbiage, yes. I mean, obviously,
54:36
Speaker 1: if you don't beat Georgia, there goes your undefeated season. But,
54:39
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I still think it's– and I'm staying
54:42
Speaker 1: there until the end of the game. It's still Texas.
54:47
Speaker 1: It's still Texas for me. I don't care. I think
54:50
Speaker 1: that Texas– Arch Manning could go for the draft today
54:57
Speaker 1: and say he's going to sit out the rest of
54:58
Speaker 1: the season. And I would still say, God, it's going
55:03
Speaker 1: to be a lot worse if they beat us this time.
55:06
Speaker 1: They're going to have to show me that they're ready
55:07
Speaker 1: to go in with the game plan. and not get outcoached. But, yeah,
55:13
Speaker 1: to answer the question, if you can go and beat Georgia,
55:18
Speaker 1: their crib early in the season, which I think is
55:21
Speaker 1: an easier time to get them, if you can go
55:23
Speaker 1: get them there, then you're playing with house money.
55:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like Georgia will be– we have a
55:32
Speaker 2: little bit better chance early in the season than later.
55:34
Speaker 2: I think that that helps us a lot. Truth be told.
55:37
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Uh, Neil asked the question, what's
55:39
Speaker 2: the status of our center? Mycla has been, um, I've
55:43
Speaker 2: heard that he is walking around in pads and well,
55:49
Speaker 2: it's really a, I think BB said it's really a
55:52
Speaker 2: pain tolerance deal. And so because of that, we'll just
55:57
Speaker 2: wait and see how he feels. In the game. That's
56:02
Speaker 2: really it. It's a pain thing. So I don't think
56:05
Speaker 2: he plays UTEP. I don't even know if he plays Michigan. But, yeah,
56:10
Speaker 2: it's really going to be all about pain. Now, Foggia
56:12
Speaker 2: may start at center. They may have Best. I'm thinking
56:15
Speaker 2: Foggia more so than Best because Foggia's talked about he's
56:17
Speaker 2: been playing center.
56:18
Speaker 1: Me too.
56:18
Speaker 2: For last week. Mainly because just because he's been there
56:21
Speaker 2: the longest, he knows the book, and he knows the
56:24
Speaker 2: calls a little bit better. But I think Noah Best
56:26
Speaker 2: at some point may end up working his way into
56:29
Speaker 2: getting into that spot. Truth asks, with the history of
56:34
Speaker 2: developing extremely good tight ends compared to the tight end
56:37
Speaker 2: room of the past, where would you guys compare the
56:39
Speaker 2: tight ends we have this season? Oh, that's a really
56:42
Speaker 2: good one. Coop, how are you feeling about.
56:45
Speaker 1: These tight ends? Yeah, when I saw that, I thought
56:48
Speaker 1: about the year that we had. I think it's the
56:51
Speaker 1: year that Calcaterra actually, God, maybe I'm crossing years here.
56:57
Speaker 1: I thought it was the Calcaterra year that he was
57:00
Speaker 1: his last year here, and then Stogner was a freshman,
57:03
Speaker 1: and I think that we had Braden Willis. But, I mean,
57:07
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you– what I kind of feel
57:10
Speaker 1: is I don't think that anything of our past tight
57:14
Speaker 1: ends has anything to do with this year. Nothing to
57:16
Speaker 1: do with it because it's a bunch of new guys.
57:19
Speaker 1: But I'm now set that we have four guys– Because
57:23
Speaker 1: you have to include Trené Washington. Jay, you made this
57:27
Speaker 1: comment about him, and I said it the other night
57:30
Speaker 1: when we were at dinner. Hey, Trené Washington is going
57:34
Speaker 1: to do a lot of Braden Willis-esque things this year,
57:38
Speaker 1: from lining up in the H-back, hopefully not playing quarterback
57:41
Speaker 1: ever at anybody's house on the road, neutral environment, etc.
57:46
Speaker 1: But I feel like you have, if Jaron Kanick, instead
57:52
Speaker 1: of being a Three out of ten blocker was a 6.5
57:55
Speaker 1: out of ten blocker. That's Rocky Beers. I think that
58:00
Speaker 1: Hayden Hansen is a bigger, stronger, healthier Austin Stogner. And
58:05
Speaker 1: I think JVD has a chance to be something. He's
58:09
Speaker 1: been dinged up a little bit at the end, which
58:11
Speaker 1: is allowed Trené. But Trené, guys, get ready because I
58:15
Speaker 1: think that we're going to see him quite a bit.
58:16
Speaker 1: He may end the year with like five catches. For
58:20
Speaker 1: 68 yards. But you're going to see some pretty cool
58:22
Speaker 1: stuff that he's... And people are going to have to
58:25
Speaker 1: pull him down because he's pushing 6'4, 265. He's a
58:29
Speaker 1: big freaking dude.
58:31
Speaker 2: He's a big boy. I think this tight end room...
58:38
Speaker 2: Easily the best that BV's had. Easily. Because we actually
58:43
Speaker 2: feel confident in four. You probably have to go back
58:48
Speaker 2: some years... To find a deeper.
58:53
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and Calcaterra. Mark Andrews and Calcaterra at the
58:57
Speaker 1: same time.
58:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably it.
58:59
Speaker 1: That last good one that you had.
59:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think that this team can
59:05
Speaker 2: live up to that standard. Let's see let's see if
59:08
Speaker 2: we can get to that point um now this was
59:12
Speaker 2: a very interesting from from Joe how are you guys
59:17
Speaker 2: feeling if we go two and three with close losses
59:20
Speaker 2: to Michigan Georgia and Texas what are the chances we
59:23
Speaker 2: make the playoffs Because all three of them are quote-unquote
59:27
Speaker 2: away from the house, if you run off with an
59:31
Speaker 2: undefeated season from the rest of the way, I believe
59:33
Speaker 2: that that 9-3 can get you in. Because I think
59:36
Speaker 2: that that's actually where everybody that has predicted Oklahoma to
59:39
Speaker 2: go 9-3 but still make the playoffs thinks we're going
59:42
Speaker 2: to lose. They think it's going to be Michigan at
59:44
Speaker 2: Georgia and then Red River, which is still crazy to me,
59:47
Speaker 2: but that's what everybody thinks. To me, I would say this.
59:52
Speaker 1: Get it. If that happens and you go 9-3, there's
1:00:00
Speaker 1: got to be a lot of– I mean, remember last
1:00:04
Speaker 1: year we had two 10-2s, one being Vandy, and I
1:00:10
Speaker 1: feel like there was somebody– was it Notre Dame? That
1:00:14
Speaker 1: didn't get in. So if it's what we saw last year, no,
1:00:20
Speaker 1: we're not getting in at 9-3. Okay. Now, if you've got...
1:00:23
Speaker 1: A lot of those scenarios have Texas, Georgia, and Alabama
1:00:28
Speaker 1: going 10-2 and us going 9-3 and it just being
1:00:33
Speaker 1: a self-mutilation season in the SEC. But if you are
1:00:41
Speaker 1: 2-3 and then you run off an undefeated rest of
1:00:44
Speaker 1: the way and a 9-3 is on the table for
1:00:48
Speaker 1: that year, we're getting it. Now, if it was... Say
1:00:51
Speaker 1: you beat Michigan, you lose to Georgia, Texas, and then
1:00:56
Speaker 1: A & M. I think it's extremely difficult at that point. Yeah.
1:01:00
Speaker 1: Because that's the second to last game of the season
1:01:03
Speaker 1: at home that you're losing.
1:01:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to hurt you.
1:01:05
Speaker 1: Because you're losing zeros.
1:01:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, because everybody else is losing. That helps you to
1:01:10
Speaker 2: move up if you go on a seven-game win streak.
1:01:16
Speaker 1: Also, I mean, if you lose to Georgia, Michigan, and Texas,
1:01:20
Speaker 1: all three of those games in are away from home. Yeah.
1:01:24
Speaker 1: And so if you lose a home game to an
1:01:26
Speaker 1: Ole Miss.
1:01:26
Speaker 2: They're all being on the road. Pseudo-road games. Pseudo-road games.
1:01:31
Speaker 2: That kind of helps you in any arguments, especially if
1:01:33
Speaker 2: they're close. People would say that would be fair.
1:01:38
Speaker 1: They would have won at home.
1:01:40
Speaker 2: Yep. That's exactly it.
1:01:42
Speaker 1: I would say that 9-3, going into 9... Going 9-3
1:01:50
Speaker 1: into the playoffs would be about like somebody walking to
1:01:54
Speaker 1: you and saying, hey, this baseball team is about to
1:01:56
Speaker 1: win the natty. You'd be like, you need to go
1:01:58
Speaker 1: to the hospital because there's something wrong with you. You
1:02:02
Speaker 1: would not be too excited. You'd be waiting for an
1:02:04
Speaker 1: ass kicking in the first round.
1:02:06
Speaker 2: Hey, I mean, baseball team did it.
1:02:11
Speaker 1: Yes, they did. Those are outliers.
1:02:14
Speaker 2: So crazier things have happened in this world. Baseball was
1:02:18
Speaker 2: middle of the pack, SEC, and found a way through it.
1:02:21
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that this team would do it at 9-3,
1:02:23
Speaker 2: but I'm saying that it ain't too crazy, but I
1:02:27
Speaker 2: do not think it's a Nats championship team if you
1:02:28
Speaker 2: go 9-3. I think you need to start the season
1:02:30
Speaker 2: off 4-1 or 5-0. Then I feel way more comfortable.
1:02:36
Speaker 1: If you want the Natty. Not talking about getting the playoffs.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: And Benji... Benji says that if we don't make the playoff,
1:02:44
Speaker 1: it'd be every bit the disappointment of Texas. No, it
1:02:46
Speaker 1: will not be every bit because you guys are two
1:02:49
Speaker 1: years running the preseason darlings. Nobody's playing me. Nobody has
1:02:56
Speaker 1: Oklahoma coming out of the first round, much less winning
1:02:58
Speaker 1: than Addy. And so it would be a much bigger deal.
1:03:01
Speaker 1: But same situation. Listen, somebody pitched something to me, Jay,
1:03:06
Speaker 1: and this is one I almost didn't want to ask,
1:03:10
Speaker 1: but Somebody said, there's a very real world where OU
1:03:14
Speaker 1: and Texas plays three times this year.
1:03:17
Speaker 2: That would be insane.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: And I said, well, there's a very real world that
1:03:21
Speaker 1: OU and Georgia plays three times or Bama. But imagine
1:03:26
Speaker 1: three Red River rivalries with the last one.
1:03:30
Speaker 2: And the bad part is the last one's going to be, yeah,
1:03:32
Speaker 2: the bad one could end up on somebody's campus. Somebody's
1:03:35
Speaker 2: going to die, man. We can't do that. It's got
1:03:39
Speaker 2: to be neutral site. It's got to be second round.
1:03:41
Speaker 2: It's got to be at the bowl site. You can't
1:03:43
Speaker 2: do that, man.
1:03:44
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can play the Cotton Bowl
1:03:46
Speaker 1: two days.
1:03:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, right? It'd be funny if it's like
1:03:49
Speaker 2: you go to Atlanta and then you play again in
1:03:51
Speaker 2: the Cotton Bowl. And it's like, we just, that's three times.
1:03:58
Speaker 2: Do I believe it? Nah, but that would be, that
1:04:02
Speaker 2: would be 100% an insane situation. All right. Let's get
1:04:08
Speaker 2: out of here. And enjoy the rest of the evening.
