• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Time, presented by PrizePix.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: My name is Beaumont E. Jones. Thanks for listening wherever
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You'll give
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Still trying to come up with a name for these
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Sunday shows that is better than You Should Be Grateful.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that one works. I would never. username
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: like that. Just throwing it out there.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You should be grateful with Bonnie Jones.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. But we didn't do that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We had a big college football Sunday. Got a couple games.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Talk about with you. We'll start, even though I personally
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: am off that Texas narcotic. Don't let Vince Young in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the background fool you. That's from a different time, okay?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: For right now, I don't really do that, but I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: think my mama still thinks I do that because She,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the OU grad, called me immediately after that game ended. Hey,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: did you watch the game?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And far be it for
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: me to accuse my mother of being passive-aggressive. But I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: think there was still a little needle involved there. Look,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: there's analysis of this game that could be done, maybe
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: even better done by somebody else, but I feel like,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and I've been saying this, and I know that people,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I actually had somebody get upset with me
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: about this, but I think real ones understand exactly what
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And I'm giving this advice to Steve Sarkeesian.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He needs to understand this. I don't know if somebody
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: else can get him to understand it, but the bottom
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: line is being Matt Brown minus the Sonny disposition, doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it all wrong. Just just just let you know right now,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do if you're going to be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that way, you got to be all the way back. Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You got to make people feel a little bit better
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: about this. You. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I also feel like this. This is not a game
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Mac would have lost.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Like there are Mac losing to Oklahoma. Yeah, that's on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the board. Mac losing to an Oklahoma team that really
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't have any business in the same building with you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That's not a game that Mac's going to lose, okay?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Sarkeesian has a very, very, very interesting Red River rivalry. Ooh, boy,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that's a twister. They got to kick it back old
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: school just so I don't sound like I can't talk.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Red River shootout. Bang, bang, bitch. Like, it's amazing. They
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing about all them guns.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But I can't, like, the real guns.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I can't talk about it here? Anyway, he's 3-3 in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: this game so far. The three wins, blowouts. I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: last year's was like 23-6 or 23-7 or something like that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That was the closest to a close game. Otherwise, blowouts
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like I'd never seen with my own eyeballs, at least
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not with Texas on top. The other three, gut-wrenching losses.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and I know this is going to sound counterintuitive, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's not a fair trade. In this sort of game,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in this sort of rivalry, I feel like a gut-wrenching
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: loss feels worse than a blowout win.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I agree. I tend to agree with you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I think the blowout win... A, you weren't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: supposed to do that blowout win, right? Or when they're new, like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you got this. But especially in this one, where you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the number one team in the country and they come
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in there two and two, you can kind of end
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: their whole situation. And you had a lead and you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: blew it. And again, you seem to have better players
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: than everybody else does. This right here, nah, man, this don't,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: This don't feel good. And this is part of why
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm on the like the playoff is in my bag.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I don't really care about it. Like it's a cool
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: little television product or whatever it is. But go ask
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day if that national championship did anything to make
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: his life easier. I guess it might have saved his
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: job that year. But think about what I'm saying here. Right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: These are the things that are why people are into
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this like this is one of the few neutral site
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: rivalry games that remains and it has that distinct look
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: because it's the split is at the 50s, right? So
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you got the orange side. You got the crimson side.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You've got, you know, the stories are coming out the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: tunnel because I forget which side I think it's the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Texas side that the tunnel is on. So both teams
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have to come out because there's only one tunnel. all
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of those things, them running around the field with that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: stupid hat, everything that comes with it, right? This is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: what it's about. This is what people are into. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Texas can win a national championship. I bet you it'll
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: not feel as good as yesterday felt bad. And that's why,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: if you're this Sark fella, you need to sunny it
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up or not let that happen again, especially under the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: circumstances under which it happened this time, right? Um... Even though,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, Ryan, I didn't feel like this was
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a coaching loss. No. You know, you don't want the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: block punt for touchdown, obviously, right? And you typically can
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: kind of point to coaching when something like that happens.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But this wasn't a coaching loss.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: This is not him getting.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: overly tight weight like we've seen in the past or
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: like bizarre play calls to the goal line.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that. It wasn't that. And look, the biggest
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: coaching thing they did is the same thing they did
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: for Mac when it was time to get real serious
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: about business, right? Although Mac had a title by the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: time they did this. It's called Muschamp, right? And their
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talent with a Muschamp scheme, that feels great. Like if
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that's your squad, that's what you want to watch. Like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Colin Simmons with that guy behind on the controls, right?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that that's what you want he's been doing this for
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: so long he's so good at it though yeah i
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: know you just can't give him too much power too
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: much control but he's.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So head coach of the defense.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah that that's exactly it he's the head coach of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the defense he's so good at it and i feel
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like by and large they did what they were supposed
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to do arch blew it right I mean, there's really
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: no way around that. Arch blew it. Arch threw a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: pick six. Arch threw that pick on that out, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you can't do that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Like, if that's what it's going to be.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That was a terrible throw.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: That was a terrible throw. If you're going to miss
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that one, you have to miss it in the crowd.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You can't miss it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Especially with all that time, the middle of the field's
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: available to you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, as I recall, that was an out, right?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He went with the out, and... That, by the way,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is not a good sign for your NFL future. If
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you can't get it there on the out in college,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: or you can't see that you don't have that throw, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that's not, because look, that ain't too far from being
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: another pick six, just by the definition of what happens
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when you get picked on the out.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But bottom line is, he had a pretty good game,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: except for he didn't.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But this is about moments. It's all about moments. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: when I think about this game and I'm thinking about it,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it really had me thinking about the larger context of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: college football with the playoff. And again, why the playoff
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't really do a thing to me or why this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: transfer and stuff, despite the fact that we will tune
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in and watch the games. And despite the fact that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of you will bet on the games that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to me, you lose something with these guys leaving schools
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: all the time. Like I was on Twitter and I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: saw my man, Bruce Feldman. had put a post up
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: about Dylan Rayola. And I knew that he had left Nebraska,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but I just couldn't remember where he went.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And I feel like I played that game with how
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: many people like, Oh, where are you now?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Um, that takes away from the charm of this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And, and, and, and if you want to know where
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm coming from on this, the great example here is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning. The rare guy that we knew was going
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to be there the whole time he was there. Um,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if we could necessarily bet on four,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but the uncle stayed for four. Who knows? He might
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: stay for five. Keep it real, though. Who knows how
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: much fun he's actually having? And maybe you might want
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to just go to the NFL again. I mean, I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I remember his dad was the receiver.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He may have been a high school quarterback. I really
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. But this is not Peyton's kid. I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that's an important detail for people to remember.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And he's built more like. a small school receiver in
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: New Orleans than he is a NFL quarterback.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's fair. This is what I think about, though,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with him in this game. There's something for me as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a consumer of these sports, and I guess it's somebody
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: who was covering them. The four-year arc, or however long
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it is, the progression of a quarterback is the most,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: or even honestly, any player really, but a quarterback, it
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: jumps out more, is the most fascinating thing to me
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: about covering college sports, especially if you're locked in on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: just one team. You get them at 18. They get
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: out of there at like 22. Think of yourself Think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of your kids. Think of anybody. Divorce them from the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: context of sports and just think about what all goes
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on for you between 18 and 22 and the different
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: things you have to figure out, different things you have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to learn, different things you have to manage, everything else, right?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Take that. Now place that into the context of a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: football player generally, but a quarterback specifically. And when we
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: take it to the quarterback, it is the reminder that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it's something I've really jumped on more in terms of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: how I think about things in the last couple of years,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: but this is about moments, right? So there are a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lot of players in different sports where if we break
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: out the context of their whole career, Kobe Bryant is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a great example where there are some real ups and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: downs that take place there that if you are taking
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: his career in totality and place that totality next to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: call it LeBron James or somebody else, it's very easy
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to be like he 100% doesn't stack up. Now put
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that in a list of moments, okay?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Throw on there the Oop to Shaq in 2000. Throw
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on the 62 and three quarters. Throw on the 81
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: point game. So forth and so on. Throw those moments
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: on there. And that stack of moments just shines. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: when people go to make their case or say what
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it is they feel about him, they're not doing a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: complex equation. They're drawing on the bank of moments.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And how they made them feel.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Right, right. But it's just, it's those moments. That's where
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they go to. That's their thing, right? When you have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: somebody with one of those careers where they stay in
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: one place, you wind up with the collection of moments,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: both good and bad. Because I think also part of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the lore of Kobe, though people ignore the downs, is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the downs. Right. They provide important context for the rest. Right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: One of those moments standing in the mall parking lot
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: with some crazy sunglasses on saying he wanted to get
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: traded to Pluto. That's a moment. That's a thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Did you see how crazy, speaking of moments, did you
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: see how crazy online the Jalen Hurts, the footage of
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: the Jalen Hurts?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I did, I did. We'll get there, we'll get there,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we'll get there. You need, the moments are the thing.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Arch has a four-year run where some of his moments
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: are honestly Quinn Ewer's moments, which is to say, you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't beat that guy out, huh? Why is this taking
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: so long? We thought you were going to get there.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And then he does. Last year, that team was fine.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They weren't bad. They were fine. But fine isn't what
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: people were sold, right? People were sold. They were getting
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: one of them Mannings. And fine is not what you
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: get in the context of one of these Mannings. Did
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: get a win over Oklahoma, though, right? They won that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: game 34-3. The end of the year turned up. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the defining moment of that season for Arch Manning, for
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: better or worse, was Ohio State. There was nothing that
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: happened after Ohio State that, in people's minds, overcame what
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that moment looked like, even though it's the first game
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: On the road.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Against maybe the most talented team in the country.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And it's a former NFL defensive coordinator. Right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But that's the moment that stood out for people. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this year, where we talked about this, we said that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: he was maybe the fourth best quarterback in the SEC.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I saw Josh Pate said something like eight. I said
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: four because I could say four safely based on what
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I'd seen. After watching Gunner Stockton yesterday, oh, that's another
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: guy that we're putting on top. I think there's some
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: others that you could come up with if you watch
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: more of this, right? By the way, Ryan, I see
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: in the comments, people get mad at me when I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: say I did not watch a game. I don't know
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: how to break this to you guys, but they play
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like six of these motherfuckers at the same time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I can't. My approach is much more watch as much
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of one game as you can as opposed to just
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I want to say I popped in. The difference between
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: me and your other favorite host is I don't lie
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Deep, deep, deep, not wide.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all I'm saying. I don't lie to you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: about whether or not I watched the games. But for Arch,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: what do you think people are going to remember more?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: 34-3 or him throwing that game away? Now, I'm not
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: saying this is a win for Arch. I'm not saying
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that people should necessarily be negative. What I'm trying to say, though,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: is I feel like for what most of us are
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: into this for, It's about that. Oklahoma, you're probably not
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: going to go to the playoff. Brent Venables, people are
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: probably not going to be happy if your team goes
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: seven and five. Not a single one of those individual
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: losses is going to feel better than yesterday did for
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: those people. With the exception of one, I loathe them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Not quite like Aggie, though. Aggie's different.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: How's that going, fellas? Um, But this is about moments. Like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that's how I see this. A game could be a moment,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a moment within a game, whatever it is. But this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: thing is about moments. And that was the thing that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: really struck me as I watched Texas lose that game.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And let's be clear, Texas lost that game. And it
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: feels much better when the other team loses than it
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: does when you actually win it yourself. Talk about some
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: found money. Do you remember when we thought John Mateer
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was going to be like a number one draft pick?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That feels like forever ago. It don't matter today, though,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: do it. Not even a little bit. Not even. Now,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: for Arch, to be fair, if he goes out there
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and they win a national championship and he turns this around,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: people will remember that. That will be positive. But I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: do feel like in the moments and even to a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: degree in the final accountant, it's going to be this
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: is the thing that matters. This is what it comes
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: down to. And that whole squad better work really hard
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to turn it into something else, boy, because that right
• 16:09

• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you watched your own team lose to Kentucky, so you
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: didn't really have that much time for Georgia-Alabama. Again, we
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: don't lie to you. Yeah, you had more pressing concerns. Like,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: when you have the opportunity to lose a game against
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the Kentucky Wildcats, you got to make sure that's actually
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Look, any time you can focus on, you know, your
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: winless SEC road streak continuing.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: How long is it? It's about seven... It's like... Five
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: or six games. Goes back nearly two years.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: And anytime you can lose a game where you get
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: outcoached by someone who's been doing it for six weeks,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: you have to do it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: You have to lock in.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, Doug, do you guys get to play
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Aggie at home?
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: They already play the Aggie at home.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. That's right.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: They play the Aggie at home. That's part of the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: reason why Elko's screaming about message.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. I was just hoping Aggie was going to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: get another loss in there. I was thinking maybe you
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: had a chance. I forgot that they already blew that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It's getting tight. It's getting tight over there. It's getting really,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: really tight over there. So you did not see that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: much of Georgia, Alabama. A couple of things for you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to note. I don't know if you know this, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: number one, a lot of white boys that go to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the other side of the tracks in this robbery. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: when I say that they catching passes, sometimes it's a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: white boy running a route and a white boy running
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: down the field with them. And not like around the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, neither. I mean, they go and, Way, way,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: way far away. Georgia got this one white dude. They
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: threw him the ball. He was wearing number 23 and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: he was scampering down the field. And I think it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was Fowler on the call. And Fowler's like, hey, 23
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is pretty fast. He's not Brock Bowers fast, but he's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: pretty fast. Georgia's so cold. Georgia got white boys that's fast.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And when they like, oh, he's not as fast as blank.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: They don't throw out no perfunctory black dude. They go
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: throw out another white dude. The power of your brand
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is really in how good your white dudes are, especially
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in basketball. The real brands get the cold white boys.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: That's how you know Duke, North Carolina, all them. You
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: really rolling when you in there for them cold white dudes.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That's when your shit is really cracking. Georgia has decided
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Only the coldest white boys can enter. That's what they're
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: going for. I don't know if you know this, but
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: there's a law in the books on the state of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Georgia that there must be at least one white man
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in every pass pattern. And you have to make every
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: best effort that a white man be the one to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: throw on the ball. Just go look at the rosters.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm sure
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that the quarterback and at least one of the white
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: boys catching the ball is, is, is roommates. Yep. These
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: are the rules. These are the rules. That's all I'm saying, right? However,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it used to be the dudes were just white. Now
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they're white lightning. The white flash. They got to break
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: out all those nicknames, boy, because they is running down
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the field. I felt like in watching that game, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I watched most of it, Georgia felt like they had
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a completely different caliber of talent than Alabama did.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama felt like they had a quarterback that hadn't played
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: in the game this big, and it looked like that,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: taking that sack at the end. No matter what happens,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you just can't do it. Can't do that. Cannot do that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: He looked really good, and I think he's more talented
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: than Gunnar Stockton. Stockton looked like he had done this before,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and Stockton looked like he was throwing to better players. Like,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: there's no way you would have told me two years
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: ago that I thought that Ryan Williams would be out
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: there getting outclassed by various Caucasians. on the other team.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Just tell a young man, if that, that should make
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you go hit the weights or something. I don't know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Get in the judge machine or whatever.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was two years ago. Then it looked
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: like he was a ghost. I mean, literally he moved
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like a ghost. It was the most incredible thing I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: had ever seen in this game. It was the most
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: incredible thing I had ever seen. But Georgia, you made
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a great point off my ride that, Kirby has built
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: something where they can still play Saban 1.0 ball.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to throw it enough. And then we're just
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: going to be way better than you.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: You know what his record is against teams not named Alabama?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: 120 and 14. Boom.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And that was the thing. Alabama's their bugaboo.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Right? And there was something charming in watching this, by
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the way, the fact that he just still couldn't do it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And it clearly drives him insane. Yes.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Even with Jalen Milrow out there and everything else, he
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: just couldn't get past them and almost didn't do it here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: But, man, another thing about Georgia, too. Georgia has this
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Alabama thing that I don't like is that– I like
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to know a little bit more about who the players are.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't feel like I'd never feel like I'm
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on a real first name basis. with the Georgia or
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama guys. The Florida schools had that. Like Florida, especially
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Florida State, Miami. We knew who all those guys were.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Alabama is just, I mean, Georgia, you just trotted another
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: guy out there. Dwight Phillips. Sorry, I had to go
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: look up his name. I just remember that he wore
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: number 20 and that boy could move.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm going to look it up and he
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: was like a six star.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Moving, man. Maybe I'm missing this, but Georgia right now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That is capital T, capital B, the best team in
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the country right now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: For sure. Right?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And Ohio State has a candidate for the best player
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he does something outrageous. I mean, they had a
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: tough one, but I'm never going to be ready to out.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm about to say this. I'm never
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: writing off Indiana football.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, you were right. You sent me a text during
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the game. That was so funny. You're like, I can't
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: believe I'm saying this, but Nebraska, it looks like Nebraska
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: has a chance to end Indiana's 21 game losing streak,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: except maybe.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 21. Yeah. He's now won 22 games in a
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: row at Indiana, Indiana. Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: The last game they lost was Notre Dame in the semifinal.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you this too, for Matt Rule, who
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I generally believed. I mean, I watched what Matt Rule
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: did at Baylor and I watched what he did at Temple.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you're going to have a hard time telling me my rules,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: not a good coach. I had one of my good buddies,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Giglio used to make the point that he didn't
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: give rule credit because rule winning at Baylor. Cause he
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: believed that anybody could win with access to Texas recruits
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in Texas. I'm like, nah, doc, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Go ask Dave Miranda about that right now. It's what
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: he did is really, really hard, but buddy, I assure you,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: if there's any school that's like, why can't we do that?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It's got to be Nebraska, right?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, for Nebraska, you know what it was before this?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: If Wisconsin can do this, why can't we? Dot, dot, dot.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We basically all have the same jerseys anyway. You know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: why can't we roll this out and be like these teams?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like right now the Big Ten is Ohio State, Michigan,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Penn State, Indiana. And 14 schools saying, well, if Indiana
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: can do it, dot, dot, dot. Right? Maybe you throw
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: like USC into the first category because they got their
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: own expectations. Oregon a little bit.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I guess Oregon lost to UCLA. At home. Yeah, that's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: who DeLaRoya plays for now, by the way. But I
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: just couldn't believe how good them players are, the dudes
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: are that Georgia has.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's kind of gone under the radar
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: after winning those two national titles. But, I mean, that
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: roster is just always stacked, stacked, stacked.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And the thing about the roster that they've stacked over
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the years is that it is not just loaded with
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: dudes from Atlanta and dudes from Georgia. Because I think
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you could make an argument right now that... If they
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: told every school to win, you could only take players
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: from your state and then let every school compete over
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the players that are within their state. Georgia would come
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: out with the best players.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: If you play that game. And I know some people say, like,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: what about Louisiana LSU as the only competition? Georgia's the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: only competition in Georgia. Give Georgia Tech all the boys
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that can do calculus. Give them all. You got to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: have every single, I mean, every now and then you
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: get Calvin Johnson like that. I don't want to pretend like,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing to it. But yeah, you go
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: ahead and take them and let Georgia have everybody else. Dude,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: they're not even doing that. Brock Bowers ain't from one
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: of them, ain't from one of them towns I don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: want to go to at night. He's from California. I mean,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he's from in California. I might
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: not want to go there at night either. But they
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: don't have, they don't even have to do that. They
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: just get the best players from everywhere. Like the day
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I realized that Georgia was playing a different game, it
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: was when they had Bowers and Darnell Washington at the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: same time, which meant that they were coming out of the,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you could say they were coming out of the huddle
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: with two tight ends. No, they weren't. They were coming
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: out of the huddle with six offensive linemen and three
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. Or it was two tight ends. Or it was,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: they could just do whatever they wanted just on the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: basis of the fact that they had these two tight
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: ends that didn't seem real in different ways that two
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: tight ends could not seem real. Just what it is.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: What are they doing strategically? I don't fucking know. They're
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: being better than people. Just moving. I mean, this is
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a good Alabama team.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a great Alabama team, but it's
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a good Alabama team. Would you be surprised if they
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: got to the SEC championship game this year?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I would not.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I would not. It's a good team. And I think
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Georgia's leaving that game mad that it was as close
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: as it was. I'm sure Kirby is. Kirby better not
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: be greedy. Kirby, Kirby, Kirby, Kirby needs to stick with
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: this with a whoo.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Got me one of these. I mean, they got him
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in the SEC championship game that year, too. Still got
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: me one of these.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, what else we got? Oh, all right, guys. I'm
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: going to help you. For those of you who aren't
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: like Internet college football fans. Elko made it. Mike Elko
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: is the head coach at Texas A & M. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Elko made a big mistake this weekend. All right. So
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they lost. Who beat them?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: They lost to Missouri.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. Which, by the way, not an unreasonable loss.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: The problem is it's the third one of these. This
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was not– they weren't supposed to be going into that
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: game expecting to lose to Missouri. Okay. This is tough.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: And I think Elko is a very good coach. I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: think the team that he put together at Duke– Had
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: me sold on that forever. And they won a gang
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of games last year, right? The only thing about Elko is,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I just want to point out that every hire that
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: they've made since Slocum left after 03, I think that's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the year. No, no, no, after 02. Every hire they've
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: made since then has been an external hire. And none
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of them have worked. Now, Sumlin had done some time,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: you know, had worked there, but they went from Sherrill
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to Slocum, and Slocum, they worked very well with the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: two of them. That era is probably the best era
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of Texas A & M football. I just bring that
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: up because I wonder if you need a little time
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: there to, like, understand who these people are before you
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: come in and take that gig. I'm just asking. I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: not sure. But Elko is, like, one of these football
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: genius guys. And that's cool. But that's not who these...
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that's not, these aren't those kind of people.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: They're just not. They're just not. They don't like, they're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: just not. Anyway, I say that to say, Elko is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a football genius guy. And I don't think he understands
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: exactly how he needs to navigate what's going on here.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And they've had a thing that happens in football quite often,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a crazy quarterback regression. Marcel Reed looked really good last year.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: He does not look good this year. He looks like
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: he has no idea what he's supposed to do, when
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to do it. All of those things. Elko
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: does postgame and somebody asked him something about the fans
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and he makes an important distinction. He's like, you got
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the real fans and then you've got social media fans.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: He could have left it there. But he pointed out
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: one particular Web site. That is called Texags.com. Except he
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: didn't call it Texags.com. He called it, and I quote,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Billy's cesspool. Billy is Billy Lucci, who owns that site.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: And I want to be clear. That is not an
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: unfair assessment of Billy's site. And I say this as
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: somebody who knows Billy and likes him.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, all college message boards are cesspools.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not hearing me right now. If this was
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: about all college sites, I would have said that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about this one right here.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I concur with you on that. All right.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And I find that everybody I know that's ever met
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Billy likes Billy. I had a nice long conversation with
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Billy at the Super Bowl a couple years ago. I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: did not expect to like Billy as much as I
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: did based on that site. However, what Elko doesn't get
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: is this. Billy and his site were there before him.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Billy and his site will be there after him. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Billy is an NIL player. You can't get to this
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: point before october 15th no this is a this this
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: this indicates that it's about to be a real tough
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: ride for elko on the way out and while i
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: saw someone say it will cost a lot of money
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: for them to move on from elko i asked the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: question that you always ask at times like this for
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: texas a & m what's the price accrued right i've
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: been reading the news sounds like the price accrued is
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: pretty high Yes. If the price of crude is high,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: your job is not safe. Ever.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Ever.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: But this is one of the worst jobs you can have.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Because for whatever reason, you're not going to be as
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: good as you expect.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: You're just not. Why not? It doesn't matter. Something's going
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to happen and you're not. And you can't explain to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: these people why it is that they ain't better. And
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: it's even harder to explain now that money is the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: only part that matters. Because the issue used to be
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: white people struggle to understand that black people are not
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: here for this College Station thing. They'd be like, oh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: it's not like it used to be. It's still College Station.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Even Will Muschamp has jokes about that place. Will Muschamp.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: All right. But now it's money. That holdup shouldn't be
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a holdup, should it? What are they, three and three?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: With more to come?
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: It's always going to be something. And I have to say,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: on a day where Oklahoma won, Texas A & M losing,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: we're all square. But ladies and gentlemen, thanks so much
