• 2:24
  Speaker 2: but we're talking a little baseball here. This is a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: big baseball state. Skip Bertman coach at LSU. He won
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: five national titles and he's one of the most successful
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: coaches in North America in the history of sports. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in collegiate athletics he's up there. I mean, if you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: want to put him on the Mount Rushmore, you could,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: regardless of sport. When you win five national titles in baseball,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you know, from nineteen ninety one to two thousand and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you go to eleven College World Series and then you
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: all the MLB players that that have gone through LSU
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and what they did at alex Box and the impact
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that he has had on college baseball. Skip Burtman passes
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: away over the weekend, and he invented modern college baseball
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: as entertainment. He understood the entertainment component, and he wasn't
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: as locked in and focused as he was on building
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a championship program, which meant year in, year out, they
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: always had a chance, right Yeah, because once he got
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: there in eighty four and got it up and run
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in just a few years later and again Ben McDonald
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: might be Anko among many others in the late eighties
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: really got it going. And then in the nineties they
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: completely dominated college baseball. Dominated. When they showed up, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: knew who the biggest, you know, the big dog was,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and it was the LSU Tigers. And it was at
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a when we were also we were good in football,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but not necessarily dominating, Okay, like LSU was not. LSU
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was a total roller coaster in the seventies, eighties and nineties.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: In football, Bama you know, totally lost their way post
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Paul bear Bryant nineteen eighty two. Then they get Jens
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Stallings plugged in in the early nineties, and then of
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: course he wins it in ninety two, but then they
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: go off the grid for years, you know, a decade
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: plus before getting it right, well, fifteen plus years actually,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: before Saban comes in. As far as basketball, we were,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know, we had some rup and Kentucky were rolling
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: coming out of World War Two. But then you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: joebe Hall couldn't keep that going, so in basketball we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: would have little spurts. But then, of course, I've talked
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: about this. Patino and Nolan totally changed the game right
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: around the same time as Spurrier changed the game in football.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: But Bertman had already changed the game and would win
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: more titles than any of them. Yeah, Nolan got one
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and he was great. Yes, Ricky p at Kentucky. Patino
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: got one and he was great. And yes, Spurrier got
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: one and he was great. Right, I mean they are.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But Bertman won five national championships from ninety one to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: two thousand, and he did it by being a ferocious
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and relentless recruiter. But then the weight room and the again,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he believed in the visualization part and self actualization. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: mean he talked about it all the time. I mean,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Drew Brees has talked about it. Tom Brady has talked
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: about how you have to visualize it manifested to get there.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Skip Bertman did that with his players all the time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: We will we will start, but we will think about
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be like to dog pile in Omaha.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: That is our goal. That is the only goal that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we have. It's not anything else. We're not gonna We're
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: not going to talk about a bunch of other nonsense.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: We're here to win national championships. And he did, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: he laid such a foundation and built so much momentum.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Look where they are today, you know, twenty something years
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: later after he stepped down to be the athletic director
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: at LSU, LSU still wins big in baseball. Minary got one,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Jay Johnson got two? Right, Yeah, because of the blueprint
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that was laid out before them. Is he the most
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: underrated great coach in all of college sports history. He
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: built alex Box into a circus in a good way. Fireworks, music, sellout.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You know, he would go through the he would walk
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: through the stands. You would be you could see him
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: underneath walking through before the game. For years, that's what
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: college baseball was. You may go get a coca cola
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and some nachos in nineteen eighty six at an LSU
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: baseball game, and Bertman would be talking to who was
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: serving you that coke because they were friends and they
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: were in rotary together or whatever. Crazy. That's what SEC
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: sports was, long before all the money and all the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: cameras and the lights and the action and the big stuff.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: He connected with people. He went all around town and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: all around the area to connect with people come see it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He understood that it should be a circus. That's a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: good thing, and that music and a circus and fireworks
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of course, minor league baseball, right, I mean, this is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: where he's pulling this stuff from. You all lived it
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: with the Jackson Mets starting in nineteen eighty eighty one
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: eighty two. I mean, come on, we didn't have a
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: lot of entertainment in the Sun Belt, or you could
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: argue much coast to coast. It was a big deal.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: You go out to a college baseball game or a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: minor league baseball game, you got fireworks, hot dog and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: somebody's run around on some outfit on the field. Bertman
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: got it. It's entertainment. I need people to come here,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and maybe they don't just want to watch baseball for
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: nine innings. So let's do some other things. I'm a promoter,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I'm a coach. We need to do car washes, we
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: need to sell hot dogs, we need to sell blueberry muffins. Today.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: These guys that walk in these facilities this morning couldn't
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: even fat. They won't even some of them won't even
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: go out and shake hands with the lumps. Right, Bertman,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: there was never anybody that he didn't run into at
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a local restaurant cafe. And of course he was a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: big walker again, and you know the lakes down by
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: LSU that eventually grew in a ball of development. Wise, Hey,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I'm skip Bertman. I already know you go to death Valley.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I need you to come over here to alex Box
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and check out what we're doing. He did more than
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: we can ever imagine. And then he built a dynasty,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the only SEC baseball dynasty outside of vand Or built
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in Corbin. I think that's fair. Yeah, oh yeah, if
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you consider them there, because bandy what one two played
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for two more lost lost in Mississippi State and Florida
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: maybe someone else and went to a bunch. Yeah, this

• 11:50
  Speaker 2: where we went last year and picked it out and
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: had a great time up in Louisville, Kentucky or Bargstown
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: as y'all know. Okay, Bo bound straight funk with you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We're talking Skip Bertman kind of time him in with
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Bear Bryant, Nick Saban Rup, Pat Summit, you know, Don Staley.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: There's some others that I'm I mean, I gotta put
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: spur Even though Spurrier doesn't have the national championships, he
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: has six SEC championships. That was at a time when
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: they were really valued and coveted, you know, I mean,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: there's still a big deal. But you'll know now we're
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: so can you make the playoffs? Can you get in
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the playoffs? And it's just like the NFL. If you
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: can get in, you don't ever know right, you could
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: bottle it. You could. You may get the right matchup.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe the team you're playing has one or two players
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: that are down and then all of a sudden you're
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: in another round or two. But when I think of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Skip Bertman winning five national titles at LSU, and I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: think of Paul bear Bryant winning six at Alabama, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: what Saban did it both LSU and Bama, and what
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Pat Summit did at Tennessee and Rupp did at Kentucky.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: In the list, you know, there's others. Burtman was a
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: promoter and a hype man and a master motivator. His
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: players just absolutely one hundred percent burned the ships. Believed.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And y'all can think this is corny, but Vince Lombardi
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: did it, and many others, Okay, Barry Switz. I mean
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: they believed when they walked out on the field they
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: were going to beat or you know what, I saw
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: it in the nineteen eighties as a kid, as a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: college student in the nineties and so on, and man,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the similarities between Bertman and Saban. I know Bertman had
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a little more of an outgoing personality, promoter, hyper hype man,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: but still when it came down to running a program
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and motivating and locked in and a championship driven culture.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Bertman and Saban holy smokes, think about the way, Saban,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, LSU was not a national brand. They're now
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a top five without a doubt in a small state.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: They are an They are a top five national brand
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: in collegiate athletics to go with like Ohio State, right,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and big big universities that have been bigger longer right
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest and Northeast and have had more student enrollment,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: which means you have more alums and so on. But
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and can you imagine if Bertman now a little bit
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: different today? The league is brutal. I mean, hell, the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: first twelve teams out of sixteen are loaded. Now A
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: lot of that is because to Bertman in Polk Okay, right,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and show on. But but skip understood, and let's drop
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the one on counting fans. Bertman under he took minor
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: league baseball and said, I've got to inject this into
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: my and we will sell blueberry muffins, we will sell pizza,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: we will do car washes, and we'll do them and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: do them and do them because we are going to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: raise money for this program, and we're gonna get people
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: in the stands. This is Burtman about talking about counting
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: fans early in his tenure in career. Down in lsu Baton.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Rooch, I counted the people, and there were three hundred
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: and sixty four. But they sat in a funny way
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: like this. They sat like this. Nobody said anything. If
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: you didn't talk, all you heard was birds on the pa,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: all boring, don and dump, and you couldn't understand them.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: And nobody cared. And I remember distinctly hearing the aluminum
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: bat hit the ball like you normally don't hear because
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: of the noise at Miami. It was so quiet.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Bertman immediately put a charge into the atmosphere surrounding baseball
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: at the box, Responding to Captain Dynamites Ad and the
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Sporting News, Bertman made the call not to the bullpen,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: but to curious fans who would respond to a world
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: series of promotions, among them Major League Baseball San Diego Chicken.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: He recruited families for his fan base, utilizing summer camp
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: for kids as players, connecting with the community in a
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: way unfamiliar to his athletic directors. With backgrounds in football
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: and basketball.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: They're not six foot ten, they don't bench press four
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: hundred pounds like many other student athletes. They're great students,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: they're wonderful with people. They look like, you know, you're
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: next door neighbor. You know. Yet they play shortstop because
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: you don't have to be that big to play baseball.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: And I said, everybody will come. It's a kids sport.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: It doesn't cost much. And said in Mississippi State draws
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: four thousand a game three times, and at Miami we
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: drew four thousand, and Florida State does that. And the
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: ad would say, you don't understand Skip, You're just a coach.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I got to get that a lot. You know, you
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: don't understand Skip, you're just a coach. And I said, no, no, no,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: you can do this. This is a money machine. They'd laugh, doesn't.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: All right, So let's walk through some of this. He
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: was a promoter, but he understood connectivity. Did you hear
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: what he just said? Ads and other people football people
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: told us we couldn't do this. Now I'm going to
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: go out in the community and get people to come
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to the game. And I'm going to do this. Y'all.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Remember the San Diego Chicken in nineteen eighty two, eighty forties,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like that was a big deal. When it would come
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: through Smith Wills, Bertman looked at it and said, oh no, no, no,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll bring him in here. People said, you can't
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: do that. That's what people do, Well, that's not what
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: people did before here. He didn't give a dam. He
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: was the ultimate hype man and promoter for a circus
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: which he turned into LSU Baseball, which then turned into
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: an absolute and total dynasty. And in fact, skip Bertman
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: was the only dynasty between well outside of Pat Summit,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: between coach Paul bear Bryant and Nick Saban at Alabama.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: He built a dynasty at LA Shoot. So we had
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to be the recruiter, the promoter, the hype man, the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: setting up the lights, lining the field and everything else.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got coaches this day and age in
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the SEC they get ballet to the door, dropped off
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: by a graduate assistant driving them in an suv. They
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: couldn't fathom what guys like skip Bertman did. Absolute legend.

• 20:58
  Speaker 2: do you still get the butter flies and get fired
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: up now that we're just a couple of weeks out.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, But I got a hit on one thing. That
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: little SoundBite you just played. Could any of your listeners
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: name who that is and what happened?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, no?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Oh man, come on you that's your trivia.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: The day now, man, Well I should do that. That's
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: a great point to frame that up. You obviously cover
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that school, and you know who the coach was. Jeff
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Brown from Louisville.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right. That was Jeff Brom played for the
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Orlando Rage in the two thousand and one XFL season
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: where he got hit. I thought he was dead, Like, yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: it was. It was one of those hits that and
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: when he went when he went to the ground, he
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: did not move and it was one of those deals
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: where his head was off to the side but his
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: face mask was pointing straight in the air.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Oh good, And.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: He got absolutely quobber in the You just played a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: snippet of the sound bite, But what he says in
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the in the in the full comment is football two
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: its core. So if you get a chance, go to YouTube,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: rewatch it back and listen to the whole thing. But yes,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: to answer your question, I am pumped. I just got
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: back from Clemson Georgia Tech, MC State and I head
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: to Louisville actually next weekend as my final camp tour
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: before we get ready for the season.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Oh that's gonna be so perfect because we got Ole
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Miss and Louisville in Nashville week one, which is awesome
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: with Brom going against Golding and and Trinidad and the crew,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: and then Louisville's breaking in I don't know what's gonna
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: happen there, if they're gonna go with the Ohio State
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: guy or if this West Georgia guy is gonna be
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want to compare it to Trinidad coming out
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: of nowhere from Fair State when Austin Simmons got hurt.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: But it sounds to me like there's a lot of
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: back and forth going on here. Because you mentioned earlier
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a month ago Lugs that Brom and maybe he didn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: mean to do this. They may have missed out. I don't,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you know, who knows what happens behind the series. They
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: may have missed out on three, four or five guys.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: But Brom at Louisville, who plays old miss week one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: He's been going with guys who have a lot of experience. Yeah,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and the West Georgia guy has played, but this Ohio
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: State guy that transferred in has not. So that's a
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: little bit different animal for Brom in Louisville, right.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was really surprised about it, you know, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: asked him about it at Act kickoff in July. He
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: kind of skirted around it a little bit because you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: he went from Jack Plumber to Tyler Schuck to Miller Moss,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: and all of those guys were fifth or six year
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: guys that had played a ton of football. And now
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Lincoln Keenholds, who is super athletic, really mobile, has a
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: lot of upside, but you don't know what he's gonna do.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: He hasn't played and so I was just really surprised
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: that he went that route at the quarterback position because
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: it's such a far deviation from what he's done the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: previous three years.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wonder if he did miss out and
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: or because he has won there and he has chips
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and he's in, you know, nowhere close to the hot seat,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: if he was looking at this like, okay, we'll take
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: we'll take our licks. If as this guy gets up
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: and running and hopefully by game six or seven, he's
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: a totally different QB this year, and then if we're
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: able to hold on to him, then he could have
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a really special year for them next year.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he's got multiple years of eligibility. I think
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: that's what you know, what you're getting at is, you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: so many of these guys are one and done, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: that's great, and he's had three straight of them. But
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day too, Like
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: every program, if you asked, every coach in America, like
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Dave Dorn at mc state is going on his third
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: year with C. J. Bailey, Like that doesn't happen, like
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: you think about that, Like you had Haines King at
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech been there for Like now, if a guy
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: doesn't play, he leaves, then you don't know what's going
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: to end up, you know, happening with him or guy
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: transfers and you know he's only got one year of eligibility,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: so there's no like long term investment or development and
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: create stability at the position. I think every program in
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: America faces that challenge.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Agree Tom Logan Bille with ESPN on the Farm Bureau
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Insurance guest line, and he'll be wrapping up his road
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: trip at Louisville next week and then that next week
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: week not week zero, but week one. As y'all know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: we have ole Miss and Louisville in Titan Stadium in Nashville,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and it could, I mean ole Miss has better players,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: but brom is a hell of a coach with ten
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: plus years at Western Kentucky and Purdue and Louisville and
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: is one everywhere. So this may be this game could
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: go into the second half and could get a little
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: crazy and wild, even with Trinidad and Lacy, and that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: will miss defensive line. Okay, So, Lukes, I didn't have
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Indiana on my bingo card this time of year. Last year,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I recognized that they had gone to the College Football Playoff,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: but I didn't have them going undefeated, slamming the door
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: in Alabama and Ohio State and then beating Miami and
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: winning the national championship. I text you a few minutes
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: ago with this new NIL era, and we're getting out
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: of the Bama, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, Southern col all that run,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: you know, And I think it's tough to put your
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: finger on it. But how many teams do we have
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: out there they could win it? Considering Indiana did it
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: last year without the biggest NIL budget and as a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: kind of a mid thirties recruiter. When you combine NIL
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: in high school, Lukes.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Are you talking about the funding and the resources to
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: be able to be a contender or are you talking
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: about talent acquisition and all that stuff.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I think I'm talking about how how many teams do
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: we believe have a legitimate shot to win the national championship.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: As we're a couple of weeks away from the.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Season, I would probably say to maybe ten to sixteen,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: somewhere in that range. And again, a lot of the
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: answer to that question too, and Indiana's a great example
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: of this is if you have the stars aligned and
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: the chips all fall where they're supposed to, and it
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: just makes for a magical year. It's kind of like
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: gene Chisck at Auburn that year where everything just played
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the way it was supposed to, but with nil number one.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: In order to get difference maker type of players, you
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: got to be able to compete in that realm. So
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: from a resources standpoint, you have to say, okay, well,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: how many people are Georgia, how many people are LSU,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: how many people are Techas or Ohio State? Well not many, right,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: But if you have the funding and don't necessarily have
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the brand, then you have the opportunity to do it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Indiana did because you through funding and through the acquisition
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: of talent. As a result of that funding, you now
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden have the opportunity to change the
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: narrative what your program is. Right, because brands used to
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: be just succeed everything right. Well, now, yes, the brand helped.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It can put you in position, and obviously you're you're
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: well resourced. But you know, in Indiana, which everybody kind
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: of found out after the fact last year, I don't
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: think anybody realized they had the type of money coming
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: in that they had, which explains a lot, right, And
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: so you know, I don't you know who is that
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: next team. I think it just depends on if the
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: university and the institution decide that they're going to you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: cast their line in that lake.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And just a few years ago it was I don't know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: two to six teams max they could win it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean we I remember, you
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: know we're talking about and it was like this for
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the first few years, you know, we're talking about Okay,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: well you span from four to eight or or four
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: to twelve or whatever. We end up spanning to twelve. But
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: we ended up with essentially the same teams that we
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: all expected to be in the running or be playing
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: for the championship. We ended up having all those same teams.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: It might have been a combination of two or three
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: here and there, but that was what ended up taking place.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Tom Lougan Bill on the Out of Bounds Show ESPN
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: one oh five nine The Zone. You know, before we
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: went to this new model, I would say on the
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: air for years that that Notre Dame, for example, Notre
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Dame couldn't win it. Okay, you know when we you
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and I were growing up, they were considered a power
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and then they kind of left the the grid or
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the zip code of championship level football. I know Kelly
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: took him to the National Championship in twenty twelve, but
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: they were embarrassed and Shaban took his foot off the gas.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: You remember that game, and now you know, look at
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: their schedule in the end kind of just did it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: It's if you get your act together and get the
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: right coaching and funding, which I think dozens of teams
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: can do if they choose to do Lukes. Now it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: open to damn near thirty to fifty teams, not every year,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: but they have the capability if they do things the
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: right way. Do you agree with that?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I absolutely agree with that. But it comes down
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: to the exact thing that you just said, and that
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: is what are you willing to put forth right right?
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: And if you're willing as a university or from a
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: funding standpoint, whether it's a collective or booster donors. And
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you know, combination of all of those sorts of things.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't expect eleven and one results with
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: six and six resources, right, And so you've got to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: make sure you put yourself in a position. And then
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: of course you know coaching and player evaluation and getting
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the right guys. I mean, I think that's the one
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: thing it's easy to talk about this with Indiana. You
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: talk about a team that went out and hand picked.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: It was almost like moneyball, like they knew exactly what
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: they needed, what they wanted. They age in year of eligibility, Trump,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: name and ranking come out of high school, whether you
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: played at quarterback or didn't play at quarterback was a
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: deciding factor on who they took. And they had taken
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Curtis Rourke who'd been a three year starter at Ohio
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Banana Mendoz who started getting hot at Cal the year before,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: and he wasn't on a very good team, but he
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: played a lot of football. Like there's certain common denominators
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: that make up the recipe for success in this era.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: And if you have the financial resources and you have
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: a blueprint and a plan you can compete and be
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: in that top twelve to sixteen conversation every year.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: So I think the SEC is they'll be fine. Okay,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I don't buy into this. Oh my god, they haven't
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: want it in three years, the league's going to be fine.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: It's an adjustment. They went to non games. I don't.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree with it, but understand the financial impact.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: But I think as long as they're letting in G
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: six teams, which I don't agree with, that that's where
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: we are right now. And when you catch a year
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: like this year, Lukes, I want you to walk me
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: through your thoughts. Where Penn State has an unbelievable schedule,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Indiana has an unbelievable schedule, and Notre Dame. Yeah, they may,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: they may lose a spot here to pit with the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: non game schedule and cannibalizing each other until we get
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: an expanded playoffs.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean I think so, But you
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: know what I don't. I don't believe you know, the
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: SEC not winning the title for three years has all
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: that much to do with any type of scheduling or
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: going to nine games. I think it has to do
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: with talent dispersement, and the fact that it's almost impossible
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: now to hoard all of the talent right and to
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: keep the twos and threes on your roster that could
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: be started somewhere else. So you what you've done is
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: you've made everybody better through the transfer portal, you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: whether that's been in an unintended consequence or just the
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: nature of what the sport has become. And so I
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: think a lot of it it is scheduling, but not
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: so much going to nine games. It's who you do
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: or do not play, you know, Like, for example, NC
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: State has a great quarterback in CJ. Bailey. Amusing them
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: as an example because they have maybe the best schedule
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: of anybody in the ACT. I don't think they have Miami,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: they don't have Loisle, they don't have SMU and so
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: they could be in a position where they've got this
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: great record, but the luck of the draw fell in
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: their favor, and that happened to Virginia last year. Virginia
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: had the best schedule of anybody in that conference. It
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: wasn't even close. They happened to hit on a quarterback
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: boom magic. So I think a little bit of is
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: just year in and year out. Do you hit on
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: all of the right marks or do you hit on
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: enough of them that put you in position? Because I
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you know, I look at the SEC and I see, okay,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: maybe they haven't won the national title. But I look
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: at their top to bottom depth, and I look at
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the Big tens top to bottom death and I don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: think the Big ten's very good outside of three or fourteenths, right.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's very very average. But there's this perception
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: that it's just really really good. Now Indiana's added to that, obviously,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: but you still have a lot of fledgling programs. You know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Michigan State hasn't been what they've been, Wisconsin certainly hasn't
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: been what they've been. We all know the struggles Nebraska
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: has had. Iowa has basically been Iowa. Northwestern's struggled. You know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's fair to point those things out
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: about that conference.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Tom Louganville on the Adda Bounds Show, brought to you
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: by your next GMC Sierra Truck at BOWLERGMC dot com.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Do you have do you have a team that you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: picking as the leader in the clubhouse? Is it Notre
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Dame is it Ohio State, is it Georgia? Is it
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: another team going into the season.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: I think when you look at the least amount of
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: turnover and the returning production of two teams from the
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five year till now, you got to look
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: at Notre Dame in Georgia, very few defections through the portal,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: very few additions unless absolutely needed, player development, established pillars
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: and foundation within the program. Both of those teams are
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: not spending anywhere near as much time trying to figure
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: out the pieces of a puzzle is the vast majority
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: of college football right now because they don't have the
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: roster swing to me, that gives them advantages.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And Georgia actually, for the SEC, Georgia pulls a pretty
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: damn good schedule and then Notre Dame's is a cake walk.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: So there's no excuses for Notre Dame to not be
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: eleven and one or twelve and zero.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how good do you so? For our listeners? You
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: know we have we have SEC fans from several different
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: schools listening right now, so they could they could run
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: into Notre Dame in the playoffs if they make it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: How good in your opinion? Because we're talking Trinidad, Chambliss
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: down here and then Arch and then maybe you know
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit of Sam Levitt and Gunner for those
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: that haven't watched him. How good is CJ. Carr the
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: quarterback at Notre.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Dame Elite top five, top ten at the worst pick
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: in next year's draft? In my opinion, I think he's special. Now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: He's more of your classic, pure prototypical quarterback in the
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: sense that he's going to play with his mind and
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: his arm and his feet within the pocket. He's going
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: to go through progressions. He's going to process quickly. He's
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: not to pull a rabbit out of the hat create
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: when things break down and make a bunch sandlot players.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: That's not who he is. He's timing, precision, accuracy, armtown
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: is fantastic. I think he's really really good.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, and you so you have the elite group? Is CJ. Carr,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Dante More, Trinidad, Chadliss, CJ.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Bailey, Arch, Yeah, maybe the kid at USC Mavea, Oh.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: He's really good, you know. And then I you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I want to wait and see on guys like Matier
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: and Sam Levitt to number one, see if they can
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: stay healthy, that's number one, and see if they can
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: play clean football. And then you know, you got guys
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: like Josh Hoover now at Indiana, who was spectacular at
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: tc although he turns the ball over a lot. I'm
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: a little worried about that because that's one thing Indiana
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: does not do. They do not beat themselves and they
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: don't turn the ball over. But I think he's a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: a really good player and he's played a ton of football.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And then the guy that's replacing him at TCU through
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: like forty five touchdowns to ten interceptions as a starting
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: quarterback at Harvard for the last two years. So we'll
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: see how he makes a jump from the STS to TCU.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: He played a really, really good player, so it'll be
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Byron Brown's another one great production at USF. How does
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: he transition to Auburn. I think that's gonna be fun
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: to watch it. So there's gonna be some guy will
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: be interested to see emergence this fall for our listeners.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Logan Bill Luke's mentioned matteer Ole Miss will play down
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: again this year and they go back to Oklahoma just
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: the way the scheduling went, and he mentioned Sam Levitt
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: who was in Startville last year. Y'all remember that game,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and Ole Miss and Mississippi State will play Levitt and
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: then Mississippi State will host Auburn this year and they'll
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: play Byron Brown. So just to give you an idea
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: as far as connecting the dots on what quarterbacks you
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: will see if you go Georgia one in the SEC,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: and I agree with returning starters and how they've recruited
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and retention. Yeah, who's the second team for you? Is
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: it LSU, Texas, BAM or someone else.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I think it would be Texas right now. And then
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: I think you can lump LSU at Alabama all those teams,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: you know, old myths kind of together. Uh. You know,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: we don't know on Florida yet, we don't know, you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: which South Carolina team is going to show up, so
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: it'll I would probably say Texas. I think Texas on
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: offense could end up being like having a spectacular, like
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: defining season on offense.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to bounce back. They've struggled, haven't they
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. On the the.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Last six or seven weeks the last season they were
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: on fire. So if if arch Manning's progression picks up
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: where left off there. I mean with the additions they
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: made on offense, Hollywood, some others at running back, Cam
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Coleman at wide out, like they've they've got some real weapons.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Uh Ole. Miss and Mississippi State play back to back
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: weekends at Texas in late October, so and Arch Manning.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I still can't believe Misissippi State was up seventeen points
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter on Now, that was earlier in
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the year, right, this is before Lougan Bill referencing around
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: game six or seven when they started to figure it out.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Even even Sark talked about it this summer that he missed,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: and you know, they they got their ducks in a
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: row and then started started rolling Tom Luganbill on the
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Out of Bound show ESPN one oh five nine of
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: the Zone. Okay, if there's a surprise, you know, two
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: names were not talking about because there's just so many
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: big names in the league is and they've been kind
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: of tucked away. But they've proven that they can win,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: and that's hypel at Tennessee and Elko at A and M.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Do you think that they could sneak up on some people?
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think A and M is going to be
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: very good. I think the Tennessee is going to depend
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: on if they end up playing with a true freshman quarterback.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: They could end up, you know, lining up with Faison Brandon,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: a true freshman, and then you know, they got to
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: play on the road at Georgia Tech week two, so
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: that that would be interesting. I think Josh Hipel's done
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: a great job. Mike Colco has done a great job.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any reason why those two teams
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be playoff contenders.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't realize that Tennessee goes to Georgia Tech'd
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: be interesting to see what Tech can do without Haines
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: King and Faultner.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, uh.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Haines was one of my Haines King is one of
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: my favorite players the last few years in college football,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: talking about like a reboot and redemption story coming out
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: of A and M and having a great career Tech.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Of course you started there too, and I mean he
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: was ridiculous, ton of fun to watch. He may make
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: some noise with the Carolina Panthers, Bryce Yon and you
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: know Bryce Young and them. All right, all right, so
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: where you headed this week?
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: I go to I got College Football Live on Thursday
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: and Friday. Then I head to Louisville over the weekend
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: for their camp tour, and then I don't have a
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: game on week here, but I open up with Mississippi
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: State Week one.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to be in Starbull MSU.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in Louisiana Monroe.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. So Camaro Taylor's somewhat you know, I mean,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: he started a couple of games at the end, but
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: people are all fired up about the the six foot
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: four to two and thirty pounds true sophomore out of
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Knoxby County, which is Jeffrey Simmons, among others. Those that
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: program beats people damn near every Friday night. So all right,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: this is going to be great. We're going to be
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: able to do even more of a deep dive with
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: LUs on Louisville as we get ready for week one
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: O miss in Louisville, Tom Lougan Bill, have a great week.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: We'll do man, Thank you, Bud.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: That was great. Logan Bille talking quarterbacks, how many teams
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: could win a national championship, he thinks up to twelve
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: to sixteen teams now in this new era and model
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: of Nil and Portal and where you can steal talent
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: from the from the big boys and the big brands
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and the powers. But he likes Georgia and Notre Dame,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: the retention who they have coming back and can't wait
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: to see what plays out. We're live in the Bank
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: plus studio, out of bounds, ESPN one oh five. Down
