• 2:01
  How? How?
• 2:06
  It felt like forever. It felt like forever.
• 2:08
  It's probably only like 20 some weeks, but it felt like forever.
• 2:12
  20 weeks now. Hold on.
• 2:14
  More than 20 weeks now. More than 20 weeks because it
• 2:16
  was raining like cats and dogs on December 29th. 30 weeks. 30
• 2:24
  weeks. Call it 30.
• 2:25
  Weeks, 30 weeks, 30 weeks. But how's everybody been,
• 2:28
  Sheldon? How you doing man?
• 2:31
  Dude, I've been busy. I've trying to enter back into
• 2:34
  the workforce, been applying to some jobs, got some pretty good
• 2:37
  leads. That's some pretty cool places.
• 2:38
  So excited about that and hopefully moving out here pretty
• 2:42
  soon. But yeah, I've just been
• 2:43
  enjoying enjoying the summer off and can't wait to to get back to
• 2:48
  the football season. I'll be in rally with some
• 2:49
  friends this weekend, so watching the game from there.
• 2:52
  So I'm pretty excited about it. Nice tally.
• 2:54
  I know man. You were mentioned just a couple
• 2:56
  seconds ago. Your house is pretty much going
• 2:58
  wild right now, right? Man, we got football going on.
• 3:03
  My son, my daughter's in college.
• 3:06
  We still got baseball that we're doing.
• 3:08
  We're going to some camps for baseball this this fall.
• 3:12
  So we got to do that. We are getting ready to head to
• 3:15
  Nashville. That is four day weekend, going
• 3:19
  to be off Friday, going to be off Monday.
• 3:22
  And then my wife got sent home from work last night or
• 3:25
  yesterday sick. So we're trying to nurse
• 3:27
  everybody to health and make sure everybody's good to go so
• 3:30
  we can have a pleasant time in Nashville.
• 3:35
  Yeah y'all don't need to be sick and everything going to the game
• 3:38
  and so she just don't need to work the rest of the week she
• 3:41

• 3:45
  for her. I'm sleeping upstairs though.
• 3:47
  Yeah, about to say you got you y'all, not you got to be awake
• 3:50

  He ain't going to straight to bed.
• 5:32
  I. Hear you, man.
• 5:34
  I hear you. All right.
• 5:35
  Well fellas, real quick news and note the guys already know about
• 5:38
  it, but we kind of wanted to make a quick introduction here
• 5:40
  use a note from Boundary Corner podcast is we are probably
• 5:44
  announcing a partnership with the contributor by the name of
• 5:46
  Miranda. Well, Miranda already writes for
• 5:50
  Draft Countdown native of RBA here.
• 5:53
  She is going to join us on the podcast hopefully either next
• 5:57
  week or the week after. She had some prior engagements
• 5:59
  this week. But here's what the deal is.
• 6:02
  She is going to be putting out some great written content on
• 6:05
  our website every now and again. You can go ahead and check out
• 6:10
  on the website. She's already there.
• 6:12
  See a little background on her. Also her socials.
• 6:14
  If you want to follow her, she's got a pretty good social media
• 6:17
  account. I got to say pretty, pretty
• 6:20
  witty on her account. But it's something that we've
• 6:23
  been working at for a while here to try to get someone on, and we
• 6:26
  are proud to have her join us. So be looking out for that
• 6:31
  stuff. Brian, you have a visitor in the
• 6:33
  room there, just so you know. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:35
  It's it's, it's the nighttime zoomies, man.
• 6:38
  There you go. He's getting it in all.
• 6:40
  Right, well, let's start. We got a lot of stuff we are
• 6:43
  going to do know the enemy in a little while here.
• 6:45
  But we got to start. Today is the first time all fall
• 6:48
  we saw a depth chart, a depth chart.
• 6:51
  So I just want to kick it around this room.
• 6:53
  Jonathan Talley, I am going to start with you.
• 6:56
  Surprises, shocks. What were you happy with?
• 6:59
  What made you mad? I mean, nothing really
• 7:01
  surprising. I think it kind of shook out how
• 7:05
  it's supposed to. First game we put your best foot
• 7:07
  forward, Benji starting, which is what I about thought, You
• 7:12
  know, I'd like to see Nick be a leader in that room.
• 7:15
  But kind of like I said when we talked last week, I mean, we
• 7:20
  don't know what Nick has, man. He's coming off of an injury and
• 7:23
  we've seen Nick play and we've seen Benji play, you know, so I
• 7:28
  think we're in good hands. I don't, I don't have a, you
• 7:31
  know, I don't, I don't see anything wrong with what
• 7:34
  happened in the tight end room. So I'm excited about that
• 7:38
  because that's, you know, that's my my group.
• 7:40
  So I'm excited to see what kind of production we get out of
• 7:42
  those guys. But other than that, man, I
• 7:44
  mean, Bob's on the bench. He's going to be a good, good
• 7:47
  depth piece for us, so I might. Sean, what about you?
• 7:52
  Any shocks, any surprises? Anything that stood out to you?
• 7:55
  Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see Braylon Moore get the nod at
• 7:58
  center and then shift Kaden to to right guard.
• 8:01
  I know they worked with some of those combos earlier, but yeah,
• 8:05
  I mean, kind of just doing a little bit of shuffling.
• 8:07
  The only thing I could think of how that would impact you is if,
• 8:10
  you know, the the snap comes out differently from different
• 8:12
  players. So obviously the guys are used
• 8:13
  to, you know, seeing Kaden snap. So they're gonna have to adjust
• 8:16
  the seeing Braylon snap. And I'm sure they got some
• 8:18
  practice with it, but that might be a little bit of an adjustment
• 8:20
  early on to to watch out for in the season is how they snap the
• 8:23
  ball. All right, Brian, what about
• 8:25
  you? Anything on the depth chart?
• 8:28
  Biggest surprise to me, I I was very interested to see who was
• 8:33
  going to be that will starter. I know we talked about that a
• 8:35
  lot. We saw the the Jayden Keller
• 8:38
  experiment is back for one more year, baby, one more year, one
• 8:43
  more year, the Jayden Keller experiment.
• 8:45
  So we'll see if it sticks this year.
• 8:49
  You got you got Kelly Lawson right behind him at will.
• 8:53
  I imagine we're going to see Kelly Lawson line up at least at
• 8:57
  will and star on any given down and we'll see if he works in at
• 9:02
  at Mike as well on some of the some some of those packages that
• 9:05
  we put out there. But that was the most
• 9:07
  interesting thing to me because, and I don't know how much of
• 9:10
  that has to do with, you know, Kelly missing most of the spring
• 9:13
  there or or what, but we're going to see Jaden Keller at
• 9:17
  least in the front end of that will position one more year.
• 9:19
  And I'm hoping that having good old Sam, that Mike linebacker is
• 9:23
  going to be some of the pieces falling together for him.
• 9:26
  Because it's never really been about the physical attributes.
• 9:29
  It's always been about what's up here.
• 9:31
  It just seemed like sometimes he just didn't get it.
• 9:35
  And and hopefully having somebody like Sam in the middle
• 9:37
  is going to help with that. Yeah, that's where the hope is
• 9:41
  right. It's more if he doesn't have to
• 9:42
  think, just go instincts when you're at the weak side
• 9:45
  position. Let Sam do the calls.
• 9:47
  We know Sam, if you didn't see the interview earlier today with
• 9:50
  Sam Brumfield, a little press conference, Sam's going to have
• 9:54
  the the communicators in his ears.
• 9:57
  So he's going to hear all the calls from Marv.
• 10:00
  While it is going to be GA responsibility, whoever is going
• 10:03
  to be the will is going to be responsibility to look on the
• 10:05
  sideline to make sure all the calls are coming in right.
• 10:08
  For me, there were really three things that caught my eye.
• 10:13
  The first one is a defensive tackle, Kelvin Gilliam getting
• 10:16
  the OR with Josh Fuga. There had been, you know, we,
• 10:19
  we, we saw Gilliam looked OK in the spring but didn't jump.
• 10:25
  But clearly something between summer and fall camp,
• 10:29
  something's clicking. He's now effectively the de
• 10:32
  facto starter. I'm glad to see CJ McRae on the
• 10:35
  depth chart after the leg injury.
• 10:37
  It's good to have him there. But here's the other one that
• 10:40
  kind of caught my eye. Look over to wide receiver room.
• 10:43
  We talked about that last week. We kept mentioning names.
• 10:46
  Take a look who the too deep is effectively in the slot to Cahi.
• 10:53
  The Cahit has kindly gotten a little bit lost in the in the
• 10:57
  shuffle of everything over the last year with, you know, the
• 11:01
  amazing recruits that came in and some of the other guys
• 11:03
  stepping up. So he's continuing to fight,
• 11:06
  show good things in practice. So that is mine.
• 11:12
  Anything else from y'all just as y'all are glancing at it or
• 11:15
  thinking about it again. Not really.
• 11:20
  Man, not really, man. I mean, I think, you know, I
• 11:22
  think things kind of shook out about the way we thought they
• 11:25
  would, all things considered. When you look at the news that
• 11:28
  was coming out during fall camp, you know, we kind of knew that.
• 11:32
  Yeah, they were, they were doing some different things.
• 11:34
  They were shaking up the offensive line.
• 11:35
  So we expected maybe a change there and not just running it
• 11:38
  back with the crew that we had last year.
• 11:41
  You know, they talked a lot about what was going on with
• 11:44
  different guys playing at different places at linebackers.
• 11:46
  So we knew to expect maybe some action there.
• 11:49
  Curtis, I'm kind of with you. Like the, the, the, I think Taka
• 11:52
  Heath is probably the biggest surprise, at least on the
• 11:56
  offensive side, just because I don't know if we've heard a ton
• 12:01
  about him outside of special teams.
• 12:03
  So seeing him in that depth chart is is pretty interesting.
• 12:07
  All righty. All right.
• 12:08
  Well, we're going to roll along because what goes along with the
• 12:11
  depth chart is if as we look, if you just look through the depth
• 12:15
  chart, it's so many names. And Sheldon, we know you've done
• 12:18
  some reading and some research about S&P.
• 12:21
  Give us that final breakdown that came out from Bill
• 12:24
  Connolly. What caught your eye and what it
• 12:28
  really says about the potential of this team?
• 12:31
  Yeah, So Hokies came in 36 overall in the the final
• 12:36
  preseason SP plus rankings, which is pretty solid.
• 12:39
  I think that's where most respectable outlets have them
• 12:41
  qualifying that 43rd on offense and 35th on defense.
• 12:46
  So the analytics are a little bit higher on the defense, which
• 12:49
  is a little bit surprising. I thought they I thought the
• 12:51
  optimist would be higher. But yeah, so I ran some
• 12:55
  projections, kind of looking at some playing some formulas to
• 12:59
  kind of get an estimate for what the win probabilities look like.
• 13:01
  So Vt would be favored in 10 games this year on the
• 13:05
  exceptions, obviously Miami and Clemson, and they would be
• 13:09
  projected to win about 8.3 games and five in the conference.
• 13:11
  So that's kind of the baseline that you're looking at, if
• 13:14
  you're looking at, you know, expectations based on what the
• 13:16
  models are saying. So can Vt over perform that?
• 13:19
  Obviously, we'll see. I will say though, I think the
• 13:23
  ACC as a conference is going to be a lot better than what
• 13:26
  they've been in previous years. So you look at the the rest of
• 13:29
  the rankings, ACC has six teams in the top 35.
• 13:33
  Louisville, it was almost six in the top 30.
• 13:35
  Louisville's at 31. So I mean, that's a pretty good,
• 13:38
  that's a pretty good contingent right there.
• 13:39
  Now, the good news for Tech is that they missed most of those
• 13:41
  teams, obviously with, you know, so many teams in the conference
• 13:43
  who can't schedule everyone. But I think the ACC could be a
• 13:46
  pretty solid league this year. I'm not saying it's SEC level,
• 13:49
  not big 10 level, but they could be a pretty solid league,
• 13:51
  especially at the top half. All right.
• 13:53
  Can I ask a quick question? I don't know if the data is in
• 13:55
  front of you there. So we're favored in 10 of the 12
• 13:59
  with the exception of Clemson and Miami.
• 14:01
  Does it give the projections like what's the what's the line
• 14:04
  on those games? Like we're going to Miami week 5
• 14:06
  right now. It's projecting -7 Miami -3 does
• 14:10
  it give things like that? So I don't, I haven't calculated
• 14:13
  that I could. I could look up in a second, but
• 14:15
  I just have the win probabilities which I could pull
• 14:16
  up in a second here. But yeah, I mean, most of the
• 14:20
  win probabilities probabilities are kind of like in the 60 to 80
• 14:24
  range. So it's kind of like you expect
• 14:26
  to win and if you play well, you're gonna win.
• 14:28
  But there's always some that could go wrong.
• 14:31
  It's not like we're talking about 90 plus percent win
• 14:33
  probability. It's very much a take care of
• 14:35
  business and play a clean game. You can win otherwise, you know,
• 14:39
  you could. You could come out on the losing
• 14:40
  end, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:42
  What's the, what's the probability of wins for Clemson
• 14:44
  and Miami? I just want to know like where
• 14:46
  they, you know, are we that 90%? Are we the 10% for those two
• 14:50
  games? I'll give you a second.
• 14:52
  Chris, yeah, give me one quick SEC to look it up here.
• 14:54
  So I see, look, the stats say we're going to probably win 10
• 14:58
  games, y'all see? Yeah, so, so Miami's at 30% and
• 15:04
  Clemson is at 34%. So like I said, we knew
• 15:08
  terrible. Yeah.
• 15:09
  So when you look at the kind of the range of outcomes, it's
• 15:12
  pretty condensed. Like there's really, there's not
• 15:13
  a ton of games in the conference where Tech is, you know, favored
• 15:16
  extremely highly. But on the flip side, not a lot
• 15:18
  of games where they're favored very lowly.
• 15:20
  So I think it's going to come down to just, you know, the the
• 15:23
  craziness of the sport, the lucky bounces and everything and
• 15:25
  just execution really. So I think I think there's going
• 15:28
  to be a lot of pretty, pretty close ball games this year.
• 15:33
  Nice. And I mean, we saw it last year
• 15:35
  that the Hokies did pretty well, especially once Kyron drones got
• 15:39
  in the game of handling the games where you know those toss
• 15:43
  up games are those those 5050 games are the games that we were
• 15:45
  favored in. They manage those pretty well,
• 15:48
  especially at home. So hopefully that that trend
• 15:50
  continues for the Hokie this year.
• 15:52
  Yeah. And then just a couple of the
• 15:53
  really small notes. So looking around the
• 15:56
  conference, Rutgers is, I know it's not conference, but looking
• 16:00
  at the schedule, Rutgers is actually pretty solid.
• 16:02
  They're top 50. So that's gonna be, you know,
• 16:03
  right around a 69% win probability.
• 16:06
  You know, Stanford and BC aren't projected to be great.
• 16:09
  Georgia Tech's pretty solid, but, you know, more middle of
• 16:12
  the pack. And then Syracuse a little bit
• 16:15
  lower. Duke is actually higher than I
• 16:17
  thought they would be for some reason.
• 16:18
  The SP Plus is pretty high on Duke.
• 16:19
  They have them at 51st. I'm not sure about that given
• 16:22
  how much production they lost. But I mean, we'll see.
• 16:25
  We'll see. We'll see how it plays out.
• 16:27
  Nice. Well, thanks again for that
• 16:30
  data, Sheldon. I know that probably something
• 16:32
  we would have gotten last week from you as we were running
• 16:34
  through everything, but it's always out there.
• 16:36
  It's good to know the seeing, I mean, it's, it's so many
• 16:39
  different ways you can look at a season.
• 16:41
  We look at the personnel coming back, you look at statistics,
• 16:43
  you look at the probabilities and all of it matters in some
• 16:47
  way, shape or form. But you know what else matters?
• 16:50
  Injuries and I got to say this from from watching the presser
• 16:58
  today, we are coming out of camp relatively healthy and if y'all
• 17:03
  didn't hear, the only guy that is like a toss up this week is
• 17:07
  tally the aforementioned Nick Gallo, which that's not shocking
• 17:11
  I don't think. I mean, guys coming off of me,
• 17:13
  right? Right.
• 17:15
  So. Let's see.
• 17:16
  Plus he's like our age. I think he's like 30.
• 17:21
  So not saying he can't, not saying he ain't helping the
• 17:25
  team. I'm just saying like, man, if
• 17:27
  Sheldon get injured and I get injured, he's probably going to
• 17:30
  bounce back way faster than me. So the the youth helps.
• 17:35
  Can I say something else besides all this good stuff that we
• 17:37
  talking about? You know what still burns me up,
• 17:40
  man? You know what I've been looking
• 17:41
  at? I've been looking at a lot of
• 17:42
  social media and it's great to get like, you know, some hype.
• 17:46
  I'm not the kind of person. Well, we need to stay hidden so
• 17:49
  you know, we don't lose. Like give me all the hype if we
• 17:53
  deserve, if the kids have, the young men have earned it, give
• 17:57
  it to them all the accolades. Can y'all please get my
• 18:00
  quarterback's name right? Stop calling him Kyron.
• 18:05
  Stop calling him that's not his name.
• 18:07
  So we might be small potatoes. Can somebody send this to most
• 18:12
  of these outlets and tell them how to pronounce his name?
• 18:16
  His name is Kyron. Like Byron with AK Kyron drones,
• 18:21
  please get that right. You're going to call his name,
• 18:23
  Get it right? I know he's listening.
• 18:25
  That one's for you, Kevin. That is for you, Kevin.
• 18:29
  Kevin in the house. Stop messing up, Stop messing up
• 18:32
  our quarterback name, all right? I'm going to do this our our
• 18:36
  musical guru who has a little something later.
• 18:39
  He's already Sheldon. He's paying attention.
• 18:42
  He sent me this message Right now.
• 18:44
  As it stands, Miami is an 8 1/2 point favorite for that game in
• 18:48
  September. Clemson is a four and a half
• 18:51
  point favorite now. That's November.
• 18:54
  You. You knew.
• 18:54
  You knew. Jason knew it.
• 18:56
  Oh, I know he did. You, you knew he knew what the
• 18:59
  what the stuff was. Oh yeah, so.
• 19:01
  He said so. So he said eight one more time.
• 19:04
  8 1/2 for Miami. 8 1/2 Yeah. Miami Land 8 1/2.
• 19:08
  And a flat 4 for Clemson. No 4 1/2 for Clemson, 4 1/2.
• 19:12
  OK, so I had I had close to 8 1/2 for Miami and closer to
• 19:14
  seven for Clemson. Oh, OK, not, not not too far
• 19:17
  off. And again, it's obviously it's
• 19:18
  going to change, you know, we'll see more games then but.
• 19:21
  Absolutely. More games get in the data,
• 19:23
  start shaping and reshaping and you know, you know, talk a
• 19:27
  little. You talked about Georgia Tech
• 19:29
  being middle of the pack. Let's let's talk about Week 0
• 19:31
  real quick before we get into some other stuff.
• 19:34
  We sure we want to talk about Week zero.
• 19:36
  I do. Yes, we do.
• 19:37
  Yes. We do.
• 19:39
  I'm sticking up to my quarterback again.
• 19:40
  Go ahead, Curtis. So let's talk about the Florida
• 19:44
  State Georgia Tech game. I got to watch about 2 1/2
• 19:49
  quarters and DJ, that man can't throw the ball down field or he
• 19:56
  gets mine numbed and then forgets to throw the ball down
• 19:59
  field and holds it. You can't win football games
• 20:02
  that way. Go ahead, Tally, I know you.
• 20:05
  You itching. Hold on, hold on.
• 20:07
  Wait. Tally, stop.
• 20:08
  Some something went on here. Everybody is a super,
• 20:12
  Everybody's a superstar. They don't want me to say it.
• 20:17
  Say it. Am I?
• 20:19
  Am I chopping up? Am I good?
• 20:22
  Can y'all hear me? We.
• 20:23
  Can hear you. Everybody's a superstar until
• 20:25
  you get hit it. DJ was getting hit, Georgia Tech
• 20:29
  was hitting his ass. But that ain't what I want to
• 20:33
  talk about. Florida State fans, first of
• 20:36
  all, you motherfuckers, they are the worst at jumping on people's
• 20:40
  shit, trying to talk about whatever they want to talk
• 20:44
  about. Man, I've seen that so many
• 20:46
  clips when they was Virginia Tech versus Florida State, like
• 20:51
  they went on, you know, when Karen goes on the, on the on the
• 20:54
  podcast and he's talking about #1 Y'all didn't watch it.
• 20:58
  People didn't watch it. You just took a, a, a clip and
• 21:01
  start going crazy. Oh, he said Florida State wasn't
• 21:04
  that good. I was a day game.
• 21:06
  All he was getting beat. All this was his stat line.
• 21:08
  Go watch what he said, Go watch the clip.
• 21:11
  First of all, that's number one. But like I said last week, we're
• 21:15
  going to, I'm going to get off that for right now.
• 21:17
  I said I needed to see Norville's team this year
• 21:21
  because Norville is a coach that builds.
• 21:24
  He's not really a coach that reloads.
• 21:27
  It took him a while to get that team where they looked like they
• 21:31
  looked last year, three years, and this year they didn't look
• 21:34
  like the same team. That's all I'm going to say.
• 21:37
  I ain't going to beat them down too much.
• 21:39
  I know we got Kevin in here. I know you got family down now,
• 21:42
  but I got to say fuck Florida State.
• 21:45
  What you got, Phil? Sean, did you freeze Observation
• 21:51
  Shelton from the Florida State Georgia Tech game?
• 21:54
  So unfortunately I was actually out getting some vitamin DI can.
• 21:58
  So I wasn't able to, to watch a ton, but I did see, I did see
• 22:02
  some of the, the postgame analytics.
• 22:04
  Bill Conley has the the postgame, but expectancy, I
• 22:07
  think it was 97% for Georgia Tech.
• 22:09
  So they, they actually really dominated that game.
• 22:11
  Pound for pound. I think the score was a little
• 22:13
  bit closer than than the, the disparity one suggested.
• 22:16
  So that was a pretty a pretty dominating win.
• 22:19
  Ron, I know you were doing stuff Saturday, but I'm assuming you
• 22:21
  came back checked the. Bottle I came back in and
• 22:24
  checked everything out and you know, I I think it's going to be
• 22:27
  the latter of what you mentioned there.
• 22:30
  Curtis, we saw this at Clemson. It did rear its ugly head quite
• 22:36
  as much last year. We're back at it where DJ you
• 22:41
  just does not know how to get the ball down the field.
• 22:44
  He is risk averse with the football and he he is checking
• 22:50
  down. If it's not in that, you know, 5
• 22:54
  to 15 yard range, he is either not taking it or inaccurate when
• 22:58
  he does take it. So at at some point you got to
• 23:03
  pull the trigger. You got to you got to take shots
• 23:05
  downfield. You got to make sure that you
• 23:06
  can press the ball and push the defense and stretch the defense
• 23:10
  and make them have to work. Because right now, where his
• 23:13
  bread and butter is, it's all clogged up because no one's
• 23:16
  concerned about him taking shots.
• 23:18
  Just press man, leave one over the top, make him have to make
• 23:24
  decision and and it's not good right now for them.
• 23:27
  What I'll also say, Sheldon, I'm glad you dropped that stat on
• 23:30
  here because what we got to think about Georgia Tech, if
• 23:34
  your win probability is 97% and you win the game by three, that
• 23:39
  says something to me. Because if I'm hearing the way
• 23:41
  the analytics said is Georgia Tech should have won that game
• 23:44
  handily without an absolute problem.
• 23:45
  And literally, well, literally there's two plays that have to
• 23:48
  happen. A, You get very lucky that you
• 23:52
  catch a swing pass and the guy gets 18 yards up field to put
• 23:54
  you in field goal range. B.
• 23:56
  And I'm not trying to take up the Florida State here.
• 23:58
  That kid stepped out of bounds. That stop should have that stop
• 24:01
  clock should have stopped with 40 seconds left.
• 24:04
  I don't think Florida State probably could have come back,
• 24:09
  but still, all that to say, everything in the data world
• 24:14
  says you should have killed this team and you barely scraped him
• 24:17
  by. Says a lot about Georgia Tech
• 24:19
  there. All right, let's flip it over to
• 24:21
  tonight game to the SMU Nevada game.
• 24:24
  Sheldon, did you make a comment or something?
• 24:25
  Because I remember reading something laughing my ass off
• 24:28
  about SMU during the ACCG 5 teams.
• 24:34
  I honestly don't remember. You don't remember so basically
• 24:37
  Shelton made the comment. I can't remember where it was.
• 24:40
  We we chat on multiple devices. Basically Sheldon said hey look,
• 24:44
  SMU is getting the cordial the normal ACC welcome.
• 24:47
  You're playing AG5 team and you are getting you're looking like
• 24:50
  absolute dog shit. So that game also if if SMU
• 24:58
  brings that to the party this year, Dang, they may make a bowl
• 25:02
  game because they didn't look good at all.
• 25:04
  And that was I mean. That that's a, that's a team
• 25:07
  that was very offensive forward last year and it took them 3/4
• 25:14
  to wake up in that one. Yeah.
• 25:17
  And they got a safety. Yeah.
• 25:19
  You also said that, Sheldon. I don't know what you were doing
• 25:21
  Saturday night, but Sheldon was like shotgun in the end zone.
• 25:25
  That was beyond Beyoncé. See, I could, I'm not saying I
• 25:28
  could be an offensive coordinator at the at the at the
• 25:30
  power five level, but I know I'd be not stupid enough to do that.
• 25:34
  Shotgun out of the end zone when your online can't get a push.
• 25:37
  Man, some of these coaches dude. You can't get a push.
• 25:41
  You're you're, you've been struggling to move the ball now
• 25:43
  for a little bit and then you know that they're going to bring
• 25:48
  everything. I mean, what do they have to
• 25:50
  lose at that point? And then you know.
• 25:53
  I'll just do that. And, and, and that to me, that
• 25:56
  was the, that was the hinge point.
• 25:57
  Kelly, I don't know if you got the chance to watch that game,
• 25:59
  but that was the hinge point Saturday night when that safety
• 26:02
  happened. Yeah, I watched a little bit of
• 26:03
  it, but I mean the week one stuff or week zero stuff, you
• 26:09
  know, like I think somebody put it in the chat, you know, we
• 26:12
  better have the run defense fixed by, let's say Jim.
• 26:15
  Jim said that. Jim West, he says we better have
• 26:18
  a run defense fixed before we face Georgia Tech.
• 26:21
  We ain't even seen the run defense.
• 26:23
  We don't know if it's good or bad.
• 26:24
  We don't we don't know what we got.
• 26:27
  I mean, I hope we play good Saturday, but we don't know.
• 26:30
  We don't know what we going to do.
• 26:32
  So can't have so much overreaction or you know, also
• 26:39
  you can't put some some stuff you got to you got to address
• 26:42
  it. Florida State has to address.
• 26:44
  I don't feel like it's an overreaction when you seen
• 26:46
  somebody play college football for seven years.
• 26:49
  He is who he is, the quarterback that's he's going to give you
• 26:53
  what he's going to give you. He kind of, you know, went off
• 26:56
  last year. But look at the defense he
• 26:57
  played against. Those defenses aren't as
• 26:59
  physical as over here. So that's not an overreaction
• 27:02
  for Florida State fans or people.
• 27:04
  Look at Florida State and go, hey, if that's what he's going
• 27:06
  to roll out, they're not going to be very successful.
• 27:08
  But Jim, slow your roll. Let's see Georgia Tech when we
• 27:13
  see him. Exactly.
• 27:14
  And the whole thing is watching some of the Florida State
• 27:17
  linebackers make I mean, you know, I had like flashbacks
• 27:20
  watching some runs in that game because those that week's out
• 27:23
  linebacker stuck his head the wrong way like three times.
• 27:26
  And just outside. It's like I remember that from
• 27:29
  last year. Let's not do that again this
• 27:31
  year. But we got game one to see.
• 27:35
  So we are about to get into know the enemy.
• 27:38
  But before that, just a quick again, shout out to our sponsor
• 27:41
  Counts Family Pharmacy down on three O 1 S Main St.
• 27:45
  Go see Jeremy and the crew down there when you are in town,
• 27:49
  hopefully next weekend. And again, I'm pumping this out
• 27:52
  for all y'all listening with if you're a student or you have
• 27:55
  friends or family that are students.
• 27:57
  Down in Blacksburg, Friday at Gobbler Fest on the drill
• 28:01
  fields, Counts Pharmacy will be on site where students can
• 28:04
  register to win APS 5 courtesy of the Counts Family Pharmacy.
• 28:12
  So now we get to know the enemy. So for the first time this year
• 28:15
  we have been looking up and down, looking at rosters,
• 28:18
  reading things, talking about different players and we are
• 28:21
  going to know the end of the the enemy in Vanderbilt and we are
• 28:26
  going to start on the offensive side of the ball.
• 28:28
  Brian got in the film room this week.
• 28:30
  I know y'all were looking at stuff too.
• 28:32
  I know Sean looking at data, Tally looking at stuff, me
• 28:36
  looking at stuff, but Brian usually gets in the film room
• 28:38
  for a few hours and break some stuff down.
• 28:40
  So Brian, let's talk about this offense that was not that good
• 28:45
  last year. Wasn't that good and very much a
• 28:48
  new look offense this year. You got Tim Beck coming over.
• 28:53
  OC had the same role there at New Mexico State under Jerry
• 28:57
  Kill. Speaking of Kill is also on
• 29:01
  board as the chief consultant to Clark Lee.
• 29:03
  So you get you get two of those former New Mexico State coaches
• 29:09
  coming in and obviously Hokie fans know a little bit about
• 29:12
  Jerry Kill from his time here under the Fuente era and kind of
• 29:18
  masterminding the 2019 turn around, if you will.
• 29:22
  So what to expect under Tim Back?
• 29:25
  It's going to be a rush heavy offense overall.
• 29:29
  Very much a quarterback is going to be active in the running
• 29:34
  game, whoever is behind center. We think it's going to be Diego
• 29:39
  Pavia, but he is the captain. So heavy, heavy quarterback
• 29:44
  impact in the run game, passing game is more about getting those
• 29:48
  explosive plays down the field off of play action and taking
• 29:51
  advantage of kind of those rush effective defense alignments and
• 29:54
  calls that will be in there because of their propensity to
• 29:57
  run the football. And so look for a heavy dose of
• 30:00
  those, those rushing attacks mixed in with some of those
• 30:03
  shots downfield. All righty.
• 30:06
  Well, you mentioned his name already.
• 30:08
  Let's talk about Diego Pavia. Sheldon, you did a little dive
• 30:11
  on some of his stats and analytics.
• 30:14
  Obviously he played started at New Mexico State last year under
• 30:17
  Beck and Kill. What is?
• 30:18
  What's kind of it showing from a, you know, statistical side?
• 30:23
  So he finished 26 overall last year in PFF grade, which is
• 30:27
  pretty solid. That's for all FBS quarterbacks.
• 30:30
  Trying to break down a little bit how he throws the ball.
• 30:32
  His accuracy is OK, not not great.
• 30:35
  Not terrible either. Pretty good in the short game,
• 30:38
  his office line did a pretty good job of, of giving him time
• 30:40
  to throw. And he was also pretty good
• 30:42
  under pressure and he was pressured a lot.
• 30:44
  Although according to PFF, they, they attributed a pretty high
• 30:47
  percentage of those pressures to him.
• 30:49
  So it remains to be seen. You know, how he's gonna, how
• 30:51
  he's gonna handle that and the decisions he makes in the pocket
• 30:54
  when he was pressured. But like Brian alluded to, he
• 30:57
  does run a lot. Second in FPS last year with 57
• 31:01
  scrambles on the season. So if you get, if you get to
• 31:04
  him, he's gonna run. That's his, you know, that's his
• 31:06
  instinct. He's good guy out of the pocket.
• 31:08
  I don't think he was super efficient when scrambling just
• 31:11
  based on the the yards per carry there.
• 31:13
  But he's going to he's going to get a lot.
• 31:14
  So you got to make sure you you contain with your defensive end.
• 31:18
  And Brian, you then you obviously looked at the tape
• 31:22
  showing you got the data there. What's from here, What Sheldon's
• 31:25
  got to say on the data and you're looking at the tape what,
• 31:27
  what's kind of your take on Diego?
• 31:30
  I like to call him a Teemu or wish.com Johnny Manziel.
• 31:35
  He's a lot slower, a lot less effective down the field, but
• 31:41
  still an effective thrower, but more effective with his legs
• 31:44
  than with his arm, in my opinion.
• 31:46
  Not super fast. He's got some pretty good wiggle
• 31:49
  and a little, little elusive, kind of, you know, breaking
• 31:52
  tackles and things like that. But he's not going to, you know,
• 31:55
  win any track meets or anything like that.
• 31:58
  As Sheldon alluded to, he's effective in the short passing
• 32:00
  game, but we'll take some shots and he he will hit on those not
• 32:05
  with great efficiency, but but not awful as either.
• 32:08
  He, he, he will hit on some of those and that's kind of where
• 32:11
  we need to watch out for those big plays just because it will
• 32:13
  be such a rush heavy attack. He will turn the ball over, but
• 32:17
  he's not exactly a turnover machine.
• 32:20
  I think he had what, like 9 interceptions last year against,
• 32:24
  you know what, the 25 touchdowns.
• 32:26
  So not a not an awful ratio there, but he's not somebody
• 32:30
  that's going to be super protected with the football
• 32:32
  either. Yeah, and, and just a quick a
• 32:34
  quick note, he and Karen Jones are right next to each other in
• 32:38
  the PFF rankings in terms of turnover where he plays.
• 32:41
  So just to give you a feel for for the rate at which he, you
• 32:43
  know, makes risky decisions with the ball, he's pretty much
• 32:45
  right, identical to Karen Jones. All righty.
• 32:49
  All righty. So there's a little bit on
• 32:52
  Diego. Definitely someone to keep an
• 32:54
  eye on even though I'm trying to figure out how Vandy's saying
• 32:58
  that it's an OR situation with their quarterback room I.
• 33:03
  I think that's you named him the you don't name a quarterback a
• 33:06
  captain and then not not play. Him.
• 33:09
  At least week 1. At least week one.
• 33:12
  All right. We know a coach who did some.
• 33:13
  Stuff shout out Grant Wills. What was that tally?
• 33:18
  We know a coach who did some stuff like that all the.
• 33:22
  Time. Just true, Just true.
• 33:24
  All right, I'm going to make this real quick even though he's
• 33:27
  not playing in this game. They lost one of actually, they
• 33:31
  lost a couple really good wide receivers last year.
• 33:34
  One went to Georgia. His name's escaping me right
• 33:37
  now. I thought I wrote it down.
• 33:38
  It didn't. The other one we're going to
• 33:39
  have to contend with in October and that's Jayden McGowan.
• 33:42
  He was one of their most versatile receivers last year,
• 33:44
  had some rushes. We're going to see him later in
• 33:46
  the season, but he's not on the team and then they lost one to
• 33:49
  Georgia. So you know that so Tally, who
• 33:53
  can they throw the ball to? But they.
• 33:55
  Got a 6-7 tight end 67243 Cole Spence.
• 34:01
  So Cole was a three star, three star prospect.
• 34:04
  He had says he had about 23 offers.
• 34:07
  I'm looking at kind of the best offers that he had was maybe
• 34:11
  like UCF or you know me at schools like that.
• 34:14
  But I looked up and didn't find any stats on him from last year,
• 34:18
  but they saying that he is who they will be looking at to throw
• 34:25
  the ball to at tight end. What you got on him, Brian?
• 34:29
  Yeah. The big thing that I'm reading
• 34:30
  is that, I mean, they they really lost a lot of their
• 34:33
  production from a wide receiver standpoint.
• 34:35
  They've got some pretty effective tight ends both on the
• 34:38
  roster and guys that came in. But apparently the guy that has
• 34:41
  stood out the most in spring in the scrimmages has been Cole
• 34:47
  Spence. Really good rapport with Diego
• 34:49
  Pavia. He's expected to be the guy
• 34:52
  that's going to be the targets in those intermediate passes
• 34:55
  that we talked about in in going to be the red zone target in the
• 34:58
  passing game. So look for him, he's he's a big
• 35:01
  target. He's a big guy.
• 35:03
  Tally, you spoke to him, didn't have any 2023 stats.
• 35:06
  He was injured in 2023, played mostly special teams in 2022.
• 35:11
  So he's a guy that is kind of really having his first season
• 35:15
  as a primary playmaker, but but it's by all accounts, he seems
• 35:20
  to be the guy that's flashed the most heading into the start of
• 35:24
  the season. Yeah, 100% any, any six
• 35:29
  seventies, 245 lbs, that is a big target to hit out there.
• 35:33
  So even if Pavia does have issues with the short
• 35:35
  humanitarian passing game, somebody that size, it is going
• 35:38
  to be tough to miss. Let's be real on that.
• 35:41
  All right, I decided to do a little bit more digging, trying
• 35:44
  to find out what is going on with the rushing on this team.
• 35:48
  Obviously that Diego, but first time he's playing at Vanderbilt.
• 35:53
  He was at New Mexico State last year in the CUSA.
• 35:56
  I'm sure Shelton could dig up and tell me what rank the CUSA
• 35:59
  was last year. As far as conferences go,
• 36:03
  they're champion, not great. Their champion, if y'all don't
• 36:06
  remember, was Liberty and we saw what happened to Liberty when
• 36:08
  they played Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.
• 36:10
  That was not an entertaining game.
• 36:12
  I need entertaining games during the winter.
• 36:14
  If not, I get really bored. But let's talk about their run
• 36:17
  game. I want to talk about Cedric
• 36:20
  Alexander. He is their leading rusher when
• 36:24
  he came out in 2023. Five.
• 36:27
  You're you're laughing. Oh, Brian, are you going to pull
• 36:29
  up the stat? I'll let you.
• 36:30
  Pull up. You pull up the stat.
• 36:31
  I'll talk about it. You pull up, OK, I'll pull up
• 36:34
  the stat. You talk about it, but just a
• 36:36
  little background on Cedric Alexander.
• 36:38
  He was a three star recruit when he came out of, believe it or
• 36:42
  not, he came out of Austin, TX five, nine, £200.
• 36:46
  He was a three star at 87. And if you take a look here at
• 36:49
  his kind of recruiting list, it wasn't actually all that bad.
• 36:56
  I mean, you know, you take a look, Iowa State, I always feel
• 37:00
  like Iowa State's gets they get good football players, UTSA,
• 37:05
  they're doing good things down here.
• 37:06
  But overall, for a guy to be rated in 87, the offer list
• 37:11
  doesn't say that. And I don't know if it's one of
• 37:13
  those things where Vanderbilt offered early, he committed
• 37:17
  early, he was done or something happened.
• 37:19
  But his stats last year, just so all you all know, he was their
• 37:23
  leading rusher, 96 rushes, 371 yards, 3.9 a carry with four
• 37:31
  touchdowns. Big Yikes.
• 37:34
  And Sheldon's going to get into that in a few minutes.
• 37:36
  Why? It's a big Yikes.
• 37:37
  But Brian, you watch some tape on him.
• 37:39
  What's it say about him? A lot of it's not his fault.
• 37:44
  He's it's it's more his rushing style combined with what
• 37:47
  Shelton's going to talk about. And I'll kind of piggyback on
• 37:50
  here in a little bit, but this is a guy, I mean, he's very much
• 37:54
  a steady Eddie in the rushing game.
• 37:57
  He is not a game breaker. He is not a big play threat.
• 38:00
  He is a guy that's going to go out there and get the yards that
• 38:03
  the that the play is drawn up and he'll maybe get you a few
• 38:06
  more after contact. He's kind of wouldn't call him a
• 38:08
  plotter, but kind of a guy that that you expect to get between
• 38:13
  the tackles, get a few extra yards and and and go down.
• 38:18
  Like I said, get good at getting some yards after contact in
• 38:20
  there and you sparingly in the passing game as well.
• 38:24
  More of a check down thread in the passing game.
• 38:26
  They're not using him as a dynamic weapon or anything like
• 38:28
  that. He's just he's a guy that would
• 38:30
  be a good like second or third option on most Power five teams,
• 38:34
  but he's their leading rusher. So there you go.
• 38:38
  He's their leading rusher. And so Shelton, when a team has
• 38:43
  a leading rusher of 371 yards, what does the offensive line
• 38:47
  data say for them last year? I know it's last year and
• 38:50
  they've got new players, but you know you can't flip everybody
• 38:54
  over. Yeah, boy, it was.
• 38:56
  It was rough for The Commodores. So we'll start off with this.
• 39:00
  Last year they were 126 in the country in yards per rush under
• 39:06
  three. And I know that includes sacks,
• 39:07
  but still pretty rough 110th and PFF Rumbach and grade also
• 39:12
  pretty rough. So you know, they had some
• 39:14
  explosive plays, but you know, the real issue for them was
• 39:16
  their success rate, which is basically how you keep up with
• 39:19
  the sticks staying on schedule. They were 123rd in the country
• 39:23
  and success rate at 36%. So you know, that was that was
• 39:26
  their issue. They just couldn't, they just
• 39:27
  couldn't get a push, couldn't stay on track.
• 39:29
  Now, in terms of the individuals on the O line, they have a
• 39:34
  center transferred in from Mississippi State.
• 39:36
  That's Steven Lasoya and then a tackle Chase Mitchell came in
• 39:40
  from Liberty, started for the flames last year.
• 39:42
  But other other than that, you know, you've got three returning
• 39:45
  starters. They're all seniors.
• 39:46
  And if I look at that as a tech fan, I'm pretty I'm pretty happy
• 39:49
  with that because that means that, you know, there's not
• 39:52
  there's not a ton of room for improvement there when you're
• 39:53
  bringing back three guys from, you know, one of the worst
• 39:56
  opposite lines of the country last year.
• 39:58
  And all those guys being seniors, they realistically.
• 40:00
  Don't have a ton of room to grow.
• 40:02
  So it's going to be, it's going to be a tougher friend to build.
• 40:05
  I mean, I know they've, you know, they got some new pieces
• 40:07
  in, but man, they were just, they were so bad last year.
• 40:10
  I think just based on, you know, kind of where they're at in
• 40:12
  their rebuild, it's going to be it's going to be a lot of tough
• 40:15
  slide. Just even get back to a common
• 40:17
  level of online play. Yeah, Yeah.
• 40:19
  I kind of expect baby steps in that for that offensive line
• 40:23
  versus any significant jump where you'll see statistically
• 40:27
  things that stand out to you just just just bad.
• 40:31
  Like I, I really don't, I really don't have another way to to put
• 40:35
  it, You know, poor footwork for a lot of these guys, just not
• 40:41
  being at the right place at the right time.
• 40:44
  Pass pro, not very good. Sheldon Allude does, you know,
• 40:47
  some of those statistics even, you know, bringing them down
• 40:50
  even further when you factor in this, the sacs, the SAC yardage,
• 40:54
  adding into that, that rush yardage.
• 40:57
  So it, it was really not a good year for this, this offensive
• 41:00
  line. And and to Sheldon's point,
• 41:03
  they've addressed some things, but I don't know if they've done
• 41:05
  enough to take anything more than a baby step forward from a
• 41:09
  production standpoint. Yeah, and I'm going to say this,
• 41:13
  I mentioned McCown. McCown last year was their third
• 41:17
  leading receiver and he actually was the 2nd in total yards from
• 41:22
  scrimmage, but he went to BC. Their second guy, the one is
• 41:26
  London Humphreys who went to Georgia.
• 41:28
  He averaged over 20 a catch and their leading receiver last year
• 41:32
  will Shepard. Do y'all think he's still on the
• 41:34
  roster tally? You're right, he ain't.
• 41:37
  Guess where he went? Not Georgia.
• 41:41
  He went to Colorado with Dionne. So in in.
• 41:46
  So they're returning leading returning receivers.
• 41:50
  Junior, Cheryl. Who?
• 41:53
  20 passes for 293 yards last year and three touchdowns.
• 41:57
  That's their leading guy coming back.
• 41:59
  So you're talking about a team who was two and 10 last year
• 42:03
  whose best three offensive players clearly probably were
• 42:06
  good offensive players. Because I don't believe that a
• 42:08
  guy like Bill O'Brien would go get somebody.
• 42:10
  I don't believe Dion would go get somebody.
• 42:12
  I don't believe Kirby Smart would go get guys and bring them
• 42:16
  in unless they showed significant skills.
• 42:18
  So you're talking about taking those three guys away along with
• 42:21
  the troubles on the offensive line that Sheldon and Brian are
• 42:23
  going here. So it's, you know, it's
• 42:25
  definitely tough sledding for that offense.
• 42:29
  So there's kind of the offense, by all means, we're looking at
• 42:33
  our breakdowns. We know it's a new season, but
• 42:35
  when it's a new season, you got to look at what's old.
• 42:37
  You got to see where they were last year.
• 42:38
  Can they improve? It'll be really interesting to
• 42:41
  see what Jerry Kiel can do for them.
• 42:43
  Now I'm a flip over to the defensive side of the ball.
• 42:46
  And Brian, let's talk about this because Clarkley fired some
• 42:51
  people. Yeah, Clarkley said.
• 42:56
  Thank you. I will take the reins and and
• 43:00
  probably to his benefit, I think the defense has not had a great
• 43:06
  run here in the last couple years.
• 43:10
  And obviously Lee's background is defensive coordinator running
• 43:15
  that 425 defense, kind of that Elko esque style defense.
• 43:24
  They call the Rover the anchor now, though, So just, you know,
• 43:27
  that's obnoxious. Welcome to that.
• 43:32
  I'm I'm kind of getting a little tired of like rebranding a, a
• 43:35
  name based on whatever your, you know, your your theme is as your
• 43:41
  team. So that that gets a little old.
• 43:43
  But yeah, it's a Rover, guy plays anchor, and the philosophy
• 43:47
  is kind of the same as those Mike Elko teams.
• 43:50
  You know, it's a focus on team defense.
• 43:53
  You want to limit the big plays, you want to skies pressure and
• 43:55
  coverages to create confusion in the passing game, in the running
• 43:59
  games. That's the big, big philosophies
• 44:01
  for them. And I think looking at it
• 44:03
  historically, at least before that Lee took over, the thing
• 44:09
  that they did not do well was limit those big plays.
• 44:11
  So that that's the thing to look at.
• 44:14
  Can they continue? Are they going to continue in
• 44:16
  that trend? Are they going to do something a
• 44:18
  little different to limit those big plays?
• 44:20
  Yeah, 100%. Real quick about Clark Lee, His
• 44:23
  three most prominent years were at Notre Dame before he took
• 44:25
  this job. And his highest ranked total
• 44:28
  defense in those years was only 18th.
• 44:31
  Yeah, he did stay in the top 30 for all three.
• 44:33
  That's good. But it's definitely a talent.
• 44:35
  Sperry, from getting what you can get at Notre Dame, what you
• 44:37
  can get here. On to a quick shout out.
• 44:39
  We got Lavar. I have not seen him in a while.
• 44:41
  Lavar's back, everybody. Lavar.
• 44:44
  Lavar, thank you for rejoining us.
• 44:46
  We hadn't seen you a while. Hope all has been well.
• 44:48
  He's waiting on the season. He's waiting on see.
• 44:50
  And your boy Tally, he's a Miami boy.
• 44:55
  He back. King, thank you for tuning in.
• 45:01
  Man. We.
• 45:02
  Appreciate it. And you're right, September 27th
• 45:04
  can't get here fast enough. Take care of business.
• 45:06
  All right, Sheldon, Brian just mentioned it.
• 45:11
  He fired people. Can you tell us why he had to
• 45:13
  make this move when it comes to some of their defensive
• 45:16
  statistics from last year? Yeah, Vanderbilt was bad at
• 45:20
  pretty much everything. And in particular, you know, you
• 45:23
  look at the past defense, they had some Charles at corner this
• 45:27
  year. I know a couple other guys are
• 45:28
  injured. So, you know, not sure what
• 45:29
  we're going to see this year, but a couple a couple key stats
• 45:33
  with regards to their past defense.
• 45:35
  They were 128th and open field yards allowance that looks at
• 45:39
  yards 10 plus runs or excuse me, runs of 10 plus yards overall.
• 45:44
  So 128th there. And then, you know, they
• 45:48
  generated very little, almost no havoc.
• 45:50
  Havoc prefers to sacks, hurries, you know, deflections,
• 45:55
  pressures, basically anything you can kind of do to annoy the
• 45:57
  point to get in their face a little bit.
• 45:58
  They just didn't really generate a ton of a ton of havoc in that
• 46:02
  in that department, especially in their front seven.
• 46:06
  And then they're like I said, they're bad at pretty much
• 46:08
  everything statistically, but there were statistic was their
• 46:11
  success rate on passing plays. So 132nd just a reference there.
• 46:15
  There are only 133 yes, 133 FPS teams.
• 46:20
  They were 132nd and passing success rate allowed.
• 46:23
  So they they did not stop anything.
• 46:26
  I mean, you you dropped back to pass man you you got a pretty
• 46:29
  good shot, at least of you know, keeping keeping the six move and
• 46:32
  stand on schedule. So it was rough and I know
• 46:35
  they've got some guys banged up. So I don't know how much better
• 46:38
  it's going to get to pass with you, Curtis.
• 46:40
  Yeah, it is true, because there are what we'll talk about a
• 46:44
  little while, those names. But Tally, we still got to try
• 46:47
  to find. All right, who's somebody that
• 46:49
  might give us problems? And Tally, I know you.
• 46:51
  You looked up and threw something over to Brown.
• 46:53
  Who's the guy you looked at? Yeah, they got Mr. CJ Taylor.
• 46:57
  He is out of Warren County, Tennessee.
• 47:01
  He was a three star recruit. He had about 59 tackles total
• 47:06
  tackles last year, couple of picks.
• 47:08
  So seems to be a pretty, you know, solid player.
• 47:12
  Brian, what you owe and you know, offers out of high school
• 47:15
  he had about 8 offers. Vanderbilt definitely was his
• 47:19
  best offer of the offers were Army, Austin P, Eastern Kentucky
• 47:22
  schools of that nature. Brian, what you got on Mr. CJ?
• 47:27
  Yeah, this seems to be a guy that is a one of those
• 47:29
  development monsters, a guy that wasn't really recruited highly.
• 47:33
  That is what kind of turned his game into something pretty big.
• 47:36
  Definitely their best player on the defense, far and away kind
• 47:41
  of a balanced. He plays at anchor safety that I
• 47:43
  talked about that that Rover position.
• 47:46
  He's balanced against the run in the past.
• 47:49
  Like I said, really only impact player on their back end.
• 47:53
  They use him kind of all over the place.
• 47:55
  He blitzes, he's in run support, he's got a, you know, a couple
• 47:58
  sacks here and there. He's forced some fumbles and he
• 48:01
  got a couple picks. So he's a guy that does a little
• 48:03
  bit of everything for them, but he's really their only impact
• 48:06
  player on the defense other than a couple other guys that are
• 48:10
  kind of more kind of Steady Eddie.
• 48:13
  All right, yeah. So that's their best on the back
• 48:16
  end and they're back in. I mean, Sheldon, you already
• 48:18
  alluded to it. It was rough last year.
• 48:20
  So they went out in the portal and they got a guy by the name
• 48:22
  of Marlon Jones. Marlon Jones was an Eastern
• 48:25
  Washington guy. Eastern Washington always a
• 48:27
  pretty good FCS program. In the last really last decade,
• 48:31
  he had played in 40 games at Eastern Washington before he
• 48:34
  entered the portal. He had got 9 interceptions, 23
• 48:37
  pass deflections in his rib. That is pretty good numbers at
• 48:41
  any level of football. But unfortunately for them, him
• 48:44
  he basically is out for the season, personal health issue.
• 48:47
  He did not report to fall camp. So that is a huge loss because
• 48:50
  clearly you see that statistical, you know, you see
• 48:54
  that stats, it's like he's probably going to be competing
• 48:56
  for a starting job. And then if that wasn't bad
• 48:59
  enough, another transfer on this guy came from Southern Illinois
• 49:06
  and also went to Buffalo by the name of Mark Davis, had rotated
• 49:12
  in with cornerbacks, looked like he was probably going to have
• 49:15
  some sort of role in their cornerback room.
• 49:17
  Tears his Achilles a couple weeks in the camp.
• 49:20
  So now we're sitting here and you're talking about a bad pass
• 49:24
  defense last year. They clearly addressed it.
• 49:26
  They went out and found a probably a diamond in the rough
• 49:29
  and Marlin probably a steady guy in Mark.
• 49:32
  And now they're gone. So they're almost back to where
• 49:34
  they were last year. And I mean, it's just, hey, it
• 49:39
  sucks. First of all, you don't want to
• 49:40
  wish injury upon any kid. And these kids are playing their
• 49:43
  hearts out and that stinks. But I mean, so they're going to
• 49:49
  have to roll what they had last year, which was 132 at 1:33.
• 49:52
  That's not good. That's not good at all.
• 49:57
  Yeah, it's going to be definitely an uphill battle for
• 50:01
  that defense. Like I said, you got one
• 50:04
  playmaker out there, you got a couple others, you know, pretty
• 50:07
  steady guys out there. But to to Shelton's point,
• 50:11
  nobody that's really creating a lot of havoc.
• 50:15
  So this isn't A-Team that's going to disrupt your your
• 50:19
  schedule very much. Whether it's whether it's sacks,
• 50:22
  whether it's tackles for loss, you're not going to see a ton of
• 50:24
  that. They just got to hope that they
• 50:27
  can get you to 3rd down and get off the field.
• 50:32
  All right, let's talk about there is one more player.
• 50:35
  I always like to look at the linebacker room and tally.
• 50:40
  What information did you get on that, Mike linebacker Langston
• 50:43
  Patterson? We have Mr. Langston, the
• 50:46
  Patterson Langston. Patterson.
• 50:48
  That don't even sound like a football name, but he looks like
• 50:51
  a football player. That that it sounds.
• 50:54
  It sounds like a Vanderbilt linebacker.
• 50:56
  It does sound like a Vanderbilt linebacker.
• 50:58
  So he actually was a pretty, he was a kind of high three star
• 51:01
  player by the 88 ranking. Had some good offers coming out
• 51:04
  of high school. He's a Nashville kid, so you
• 51:08
  know, kind of hometown kid had offers from Arkansas, Duke,
• 51:13
  Georgia Tech, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Nebraska.
• 51:18
  So had some pretty good offers there.
• 51:20
  Also said he had a a Notre Dame offer.
• 51:22
  So he has a brother that played a four-star brother that played
• 51:27
  for Clemson and Kane, Kane Patterson, I think it's his
• 51:32
  name. So pretty steady Eddie there in
• 51:36
  the middle. He is a pre season third and
• 51:39
  fourth team all ACC player pre season.
• 51:44
  So we've got a little bit of stuff there in the middle form
• 51:48
  as far as Mr. Patterson. Brian, what you thinking about
• 51:51
  him? Yeah, I mean, looking at him, I
• 51:54
  mean leadership is his biggest attribute.
• 51:56
  He does a good job of, you know, getting the defensive line good
• 52:00
  at communicating. You can see him out there
• 52:02
  communicating well with the with the rest of the team,
• 52:04
  technically solid player guy. That's kind of where he needs to
• 52:08
  be most of the time. Not really a huge threat.
• 52:12
  The blitz game, they don't blitz him a ton.
• 52:14
  He's just a guy that's going to get in there, get you a good
• 52:17
  tackle, 3-4 yard game, run it back, do it again.
• 52:21
  Nothing that like super stands out at you.
• 52:23
  But he's also a guy that's not going to make a ton of mistakes.
• 52:26
  So he's going to end up racking up a pretty good amount of
• 52:27
  tackles in the middle there. All righty, so there we have it.
• 52:32
  A little Know the Enemy Vanderbilt edition the best we
• 52:36
  can with all of the last season's data.
• 52:39
  No tape from this season, trying to reach spring games and stuff.
• 52:42
  The first one's always tough, y'all Brian Brian always like
• 52:45
  bangs his head. Y'all don't know like he's like
• 52:48
  I I got to hopefully find these guys somewhere and obviously
• 52:51
  Sheldon, there's no fresh data from games and stuff out there
• 52:55
  and tally same way. It's it's like we're reading
• 52:57
  articles, we're trying to figure out stuff.
• 52:58
  So this is what we think guys that may you may hear the names
• 53:02
  of guys we feel like could be impact players for them that we
• 53:05
  feel like we need to stop or slow down.
• 53:08
  But the reality of it is we've got to have our own self and
• 53:11
  we've got a set of hokey keys here this week and tally and
• 53:14
  we'll let you kick it off because when you when you when
• 53:16
  you texted me what you wanted to say, I was like, he got he got
• 53:19
  to lead it go. Ahead, it's pretty it's pretty
• 53:21
  simple man. You show up to Nashville, TN,
• 53:24
  it's a fucking country ass hit town with a whole bunch of
• 53:28
  country music playing. So if you come in now, you come
• 53:31
  in there and you, you do what you got to do and you get ready
• 53:35
  to play. Block out all the noise.
• 53:38
  The talking's over. It's just time to go play.
• 53:42
  Everything is set up for us to go be successful.
• 53:45
  It's just time to go play. Block it out.
• 53:47
  Let's just go get it done. All righty Sheldon, what do you
• 53:52
  got Any, any, any motivational, philosophical, statistical?
• 53:57
  I mean, motivational, I feel like if you're if you need
• 53:59
  motivation for this game, man, you're in the wrong line of
• 54:02
  work. I think, I think everybody's
• 54:03
  going to come out motivated. But yeah, I just want to see, I
• 54:07
  want to see improvement from the areas that they kind of lacked
• 54:08
  last year, you know, particularly linebackers and
• 54:10
  safeties, you know, being able to to stop the run, prevent
• 54:13
  those big plays and just, you know, play good disciplined
• 54:16
  football in the back seven. I think if they do that, then
• 54:18
  they should have they should have a good time.
• 54:20
  I mean, look, Tech is a much better team.
• 54:21
  They have better time almost every position.
• 54:24
  It's a game you got to win. I'm not a big, you know,
• 54:26
  believer in you have to win by X amount of points, but it'd be
• 54:28
  nice to see them kind of take care of this one by a couple
• 54:31
  touchdowns at least. So just come up motivated, ready
• 54:33
  to play and and go into the stadium knowing that you're the
• 54:35
  better team. Bron Siegler.
• 54:39
  Do not sleepwalk into this game. Do not, do not come into this
• 54:44
  game and not decide to play to your potential for two to 3/4.
• 54:51
  We saw what what happened to Florida State, we saw what
• 54:54
  happened to SMU. Don't do that.
• 54:57
  Don't do that. But the biggest thing for me is
• 55:01
  especially if Diego Pavia is the quarterback and starting
• 55:05
  significantly for Vanderbilt in this game, don't let the
• 55:09
  quarterback's legs beat you, especially on 3rd down.
• 55:13
  We don't need a bad offense extending drives because we get
• 55:19
  a little undisciplined on 3rd down and long because that's
• 55:23
  going to be frustrating. That's not going to be fun to
• 55:25
  watch. Don't do that.
• 55:27
  If you take care of that business, I'm not really worried
• 55:29
  about anything else, to be honest with you.
• 55:32
  I'm not worried about anything else.
• 55:36
  All right, I guess I get to go last and it's similar to
• 55:38
  actually similar to what all three of y'all said.
• 55:41
  My biggest thing is do not play down to this team.
• 55:44
  Act like this team is the best team in the country and go out
• 55:46
  there and play your A game. And especially for me on the
• 55:50
  defensive line, in the offensive line, because basically what we
• 55:54
  see from what Shelton's given us, this is not that very good
• 55:57
  of an offensive line. Go take their damn lunch money.
• 56:02
  So take their lunch money, offensive line.
• 56:04
  Same way I'm looking at this. They lost their leading SAT guy
• 56:07
  last year to USC. Go take their lunch money.
• 56:12
  Make them want to go to the sidelines.
• 56:14
  Want to look there and say, listen, just let them run this
• 56:16
  game in, but just run this ball in.
• 56:18
  Let this be the game. I'm tired of getting hit so.
• 56:23
  Don't lay down, let me ask you a question.
• 56:26
  I was thinking about this too, because we've interviewed
• 56:28
  probably a couple of times and and we can only go by kind of
• 56:30
  what he says. And he came in as a defensive
• 56:33
  coach and he took the reins kind of on defense.
• 56:37
  He had a defensive coordinator first year, but he kind of took
• 56:40
  the reins on handling the defense.
• 56:43
  And he said himself it was a lot of work.
• 56:46
  You know, it was times when he might or should have been in
• 56:48
  another room that he was focused on that defense and maybe
• 56:52
  offense may have, I don't want to say went lacking because I
• 56:55
  don't want to, you know, put the words in his mouth.
• 56:56
  But you know, what we talked to and what he said.
• 56:59
  How much do you think that's going to affect them, that their
• 57:02
  coach is effectively head coach and DC all at the same time?
• 57:08
  And then you've got all of this stuff going on on your defense
• 57:12
  and you're going into a a game, you're going into a season
• 57:17
  against a formidable opponent. You know, like, how do you think
• 57:19
  that's going to affect them? I think for them, I think that's
• 57:22
  why he brought in kill because he feels like he needs someone
• 57:25
  to control that side of the ball.
• 57:26
  But I think what that could cause is issues within the
• 57:29
  locker room because you and Brian both played and if
• 57:32
  everybody ain't on the same page as coaching, getting everybody
• 57:35
  time, get everybody on the same page, that can screw shit up,
• 57:38
  they can screw shit up quick. I think for him, I think he did
• 57:42
  the move because he's in his fourth season.
• 57:45
  They've not had any good season since he's been there.
• 57:47
  This is like this is the last ditch effort.
• 57:50
  He knows that if he can't manage probably four wins this year,
• 57:54
  he's probably got one more lame duck season then he'll fire so
• 57:59
  last and to be honest, so maybe he screwed up from the
• 58:04
  beginning. Maybe he should have taken the
• 58:05
  range and put his imprint on that defense the first couple
• 58:08
  seasons. Not when he gets to the point
• 58:11
  where you are one of the worst defenses in the country.
• 58:14
  You're now losing good players to bigger program.
• 58:17
  So that's my opinion on it. I don't Sheldon Brown if y'all
• 58:20
  got any takes on that. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
• 58:24
  I think it's the Jerry kill effect.
• 58:25
  I think that's why you brought him in.
• 58:27
  You brought in a coordinator that you're comfortable with and
• 58:30
  now you got a guy essentially overseeing that, that
• 58:33
  coordinator that was the head coach for that coordinator at
• 58:36
  the previous stop. So from a, you know, tree
• 58:40
  perspective that, you know, it's still kind of flowing the same.
• 58:44
  I think the bigger thing is that now you essentially in some ways
• 58:49
  have two head coaches. You got a defensive focus head
• 58:52
  coach and then you got a de facto offensive focus head
• 58:55
  coach. I don't know if that's a good
• 58:58
  thing from a messaging standpoint because you don't
• 59:02
  have one unified message from the top down.
• 59:05
  You kind of are talking about this is the offensive lingo,
• 59:08
  this is the defensive lingo. And I don't know how they have
• 59:11
  it structured, but I could see it going sideways like that if
• 59:15
  it's not structured in a in a very succinct way.
• 59:18
  So that that that's my concern for them with that set up.
• 59:22
  But I think it's also why Lee was OK with making that step is
• 59:26
  because he had somebody like Kill to kind of run the
• 59:30
  offensive side of the ship. You got anything that?
• 59:35
  No man, we we know that Jared kills.
• 59:37
  Never afraid to pull a punch if you know.
• 59:39
  Anything. Shelton Moss predicts Kill Lee
• 59:44
  are in fight by Week 3. Let's go ahead and put that out
• 59:47
  there. If he, if Jared Kill has an
• 59:48
  issue, we think he's going to let you know about it, that's
• 59:50
  for sure. Hey, at least kill him back.
• 59:52
  You've been known to coexist. Big day you go.
• 59:55
  Cannot be said. The same thing cannot be said
• 59:57
  for Brad or Nelson. So 100.
• 59:59
  Percent. 100%. All right.
• 1:00:01
  Well, boys. We always get to a time in this
• 1:00:03
  program where we have to make our predictions for the game and
• 1:00:07
  we do it. We don't dance around it.
• 1:00:09
  We last year there were games we sat in here and we said we're
• 1:00:13
  going to lose this game there. Games we said we were going to
• 1:00:16
  win. Sometimes we were right,
• 1:00:17
  sometimes we were wrong, but always got to lay it out there
• 1:00:21
  the way we're feeling about this game.
• 1:00:22
  And I will let Jonathan Talley lead the way on this.
• 1:00:26
  Mr. Talley, what's your prediction open wise?
• 1:00:31
  Hokies by 17 man, I say score is going to be somewhere around
• 1:00:36
  3434 to to 1734. Fourteen kind of what I'm
• 1:00:43
  thinking, yeah. So 17 like I said, 3414 for for
• 1:00:47
  the Hokies. Hey by the way guys, we are not
• 1:00:50
  picking this game against the spread anymore this year.
• 1:00:52
  Everyone got pissed off at us last year because they got
• 1:00:54
  confused whether we were taking money line or spread.
• 1:00:56
  So they got. Pissed when it.
• 1:00:58
  Comes to Hokies, we ain't picking spreads.
• 1:01:00
  This is all who's winning and by how much?
• 1:01:04
  Right, there we go. All righty.
• 1:01:06
  So Shelton, what about you? As you're going to be, you said
• 1:01:09
  Raleigh, right? Yep, going to be watching from
• 1:01:11
  Raleigh. I will take the Hokies 34 to 20.
• 1:01:14
  I think it's made a pretty average pedestrian game.
• 1:01:16
  I think Texan get off to a hot start.
• 1:01:18
  Vanderbilt will come back a little bit, maybe get close to
• 1:01:20
  evening it up. But in the end, the the superior
• 1:01:23
  talent and depth of the Tech roster will carry them to
• 1:01:26
  victory by two touchdowns, and they will cover.
• 1:01:29
  Bron. Give me Virginia Tech 3717.
• 1:01:35
  I like a good twenty point victory here.
• 1:01:38
  I don't think that offense is going to be able to do a whole
• 1:01:42
  lot against our defense. I I think that we'll be able to
• 1:01:46
  score pretty regularly. You know, we're not going to
• 1:01:50
  necessarily run it up like we did against UVA, but I think
• 1:01:52
  we're going to be able to score consistently against them. 3717
• 1:01:56
  sounds good to me. All righty, and I'm not far from
• 1:01:59
  either any of y'all 3 on this. I am.
• 1:02:03
  I do have the closest score, but I told tally earlier today
• 1:02:06
  pretty much I was at 17, I'm at 3423 final.
• 1:02:10
  I think they get some garbage one minute left touchdown with
• 1:02:15
  nobody that's on that 2D chart playing, just getting some guys
• 1:02:18
  some reps and they give up a late touchdown and it looks a
• 1:02:20
  little bit closer than it actually is.
• 1:02:23
  But you know what, Brian, you said something.
• 1:02:25
  If we get the opportunity, I hope we do run it up.
• 1:02:29
  You know, it's like make a statement, especially if you can
• 1:02:33
  get like Colin and you can get pop out there and then score a
• 1:02:35
  couple touchdowns, run it up. Because your nuts against SEC is
• 1:02:40
  always fun no matter who it is. Always fun.
• 1:02:44
  Please, let's do. That because as it stands right
• 1:02:46
  now, Brian has a score in the most at 37.
• 1:02:50
  Everybody got it in the 30s, but Brian's saying 37 and that's the
• 1:02:53
  highest than any of us think. We'll go on.
• 1:02:57
  We we are being. Very please prove what's wrong.
• 1:03:00
  Prove us wrong, guys. Yeah, put 60 up.
• 1:03:04
  Please put 60. Please, all righty.
• 1:03:07
  So they're the predictions we're all going with the hokey wins
• 1:03:10
  all of us by double digits from with the biggest me with the
• 1:03:12
  smallest margin of victory and tally and Sheldon right in
• 1:03:17
  there. So there goes that.
• 1:03:20
  Now we get to turn to other games for this weekend and what
• 1:03:24
  we have. Brian got to play around Y'all.
• 1:03:27
  He got to play around. We are going big screen.
• 1:03:31
  Look at that y'all look at that. Look at that graphic.
• 1:03:35
  If you're watching on the podcast, go to YouTube, check
• 1:03:37
  out the beautiful graphic that Brian has picked big screeners
• 1:03:42
  week one. It is presented by counts family
• 1:03:45
  pharmacy and again, I'll just say this, if you don't know
• 1:03:48
  counts family pharmacy will be a gobbler fest four to seven on
• 1:03:50
  the drill field. Go send somebody there that can
• 1:03:53
  win that PS Five and then give it to me because I.
• 1:03:57
  Ain't got? Because I told you about it.
• 1:04:00
  Curtis is now spitting this into him getting APS. 5.
• 1:04:04
  That's why you plugged it a third time guys, I'm.
• 1:04:07
  Going to plug it a fourth time. Watch.
• 1:04:08
  All right, so we got a bunch of getting.
• 1:04:11
  First of all, good weekend in college football starting
• 1:04:14
  Thursday night through Monday, Good games all over the place.
• 1:04:19
  But we're going to let Mr. Siegler kick it off.
• 1:04:21
  Brian, where are we going for this game?
• 1:04:26
  Yeah, we've got Clemson and Georgia.
• 1:04:29
  That's where we're going first. Yes, Hot Atlanta, baby, Hot
• 1:04:33
  Atlanta. Dome.
• 1:04:34
  And the line? The line is 13 1/2 in favor of
• 1:04:40
  Georgia. And you know what?
• 1:04:43
  I'm riding with Georgia. I think Clemson is fucking down.
• 1:04:46
  I think Clemson is burnout. I think Clemson is done.
• 1:04:50
  And I think Georgia is going to go ahead and start the kindling
• 1:04:53
  that's going to be the fire that burns their ass the rest of the
• 1:04:56
  season. All righty, I'm opposite of you
• 1:04:59
  on that. I first of all, I'm not that
• 1:05:01
  impressed. So everybody loves Carson Beck
• 1:05:05
  and just what I've seen him it just it doesn't pop to me. 13
• 1:05:08
  1/2 is a monster number. The one thing is Clemson that
• 1:05:11
  has not changed over these past few years is that damn defense
• 1:05:14
  is good. So if y'all remember a few years
• 1:05:17
  ago there was this game where there wasn't an offensive
• 1:05:20
  touchdown scored just one defense.
• 1:05:22
  I'm going to say Clemson covers. I don't know who's going to win
• 1:05:25
  it. I'm going to be I'm going to be
• 1:05:26
  watching the Hokies game. So I'm really not going to be
• 1:05:29
  paying attention. I'll, I'll figure out after
• 1:05:31
  that. Callie, what about you?
• 1:05:33
  Well, when you don't watch that game and you figure out after it
• 1:05:37
  what happened, George is going to be done whoop Clemson's ass.
• 1:05:43
  Clemson's got too many chats and Eric's.
• 1:05:48
  They got to go get some Kwan's and Deshawn's.
• 1:05:52
  That's all I say. Georgia covers Sheldon, what
• 1:05:55
  about you? Well, I'm a little bit higher on
• 1:05:58
  Clemson than Brian is. I know they're not what they
• 1:06:00
  used to be, but I think that I still like their coaching staff.
• 1:06:03
  13.5 is a pretty big spread. I think Clemson will lose this
• 1:06:06
  game, but they will cover. All right.
• 1:06:09
  And our newest colleague, Miranda says.
• 1:06:13
  George. George we are a split family on
• 1:06:16
  this game so therefore we will not be putting our.
• 1:06:19
  Money. That's a nice little pattern
• 1:06:21
  there too. You know we.
• 1:06:21
  When did Jason pick this? He did not.
• 1:06:24
  Do you want him to pick every week?
• 1:06:26
  I guarantee you he will and lay money on.
• 1:06:28
  I'm just wondering because I mean, we're at a kind of odd
• 1:06:31
  number right there, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:06:33
  You know, I think if Jason gets in that we might really be
• 1:06:35
  split, you know what I mean? That's just my opinion.
• 1:06:38
  I was wondering, did he pick? I'd like I'll call him.
• 1:06:40
  I'll need to know what he thinks about this.
• 1:06:42
  All right, listen, we will get in touch with him tomorrow and
• 1:06:45
  see if he wants to start giving picks for all the games.
• 1:06:48
  Knowing him, of course, knowing him, you know he does more more
• 1:06:53
  action on Saturdays. All righty.
• 1:06:55
  Well, I got the next one. Here, Jason just texted me and
• 1:06:58
  said he's taking Georgia. He's taking there we go, Jason
• 1:07:03
  taking Georgia with the 13 1/2. Tell him he's got, we got a few
• 1:07:07
  more to go here. So he's got to stay on the line
• 1:07:09
  with us. All right, I have got the next
• 1:07:12
  one up here and I'm going to Sunday night going out to Vegas,
• 1:07:17
  USC versus LSULSU, the four and a half point favorite kind of
• 1:07:22
  far away from home with the LSU fans are crazy.
• 1:07:25
  I'm sure that place is going to be dealt with purple and all
• 1:07:28
  that. And Brian, I want to see what
• 1:07:32
  you got with this one first. That line isn't big enough.
• 1:07:35
  Give me LSU all the way. Give you LSU all the way.
• 1:07:39
  Yeah, that at least a touchdown, at least a.
• 1:07:41
  Touchdown All righty. Let me think about it here.
• 1:07:46
  Let me think about it here. You know what I'm I'm with you,
• 1:07:50
  I'm with you. I think it's just a little bit
• 1:07:52
  too big. LSU later 4 1/2 take the over.
• 1:07:56
  The over is only 64 and y'all know Lincoln Riley can score
• 1:08:00
  points, but he don't play defense ever.
• 1:08:02
  So 4834, take the over. LSU wins.
• 1:08:08
  Ali, what about you? I don't know much about either
• 1:08:11
  one of them teams, I'm going to be honest with you.
• 1:08:13
  But I do know I got a good friend's son that plays on USC.
• 1:08:17
  He transferred from Georgia State and he plays defensive end
• 1:08:22
  linebacker that his name is Jamil Muhammad.
• 1:08:24
  Everybody give him a look. I'm going with Southern Cal just
• 1:08:29
  for that reason. I'm going to support my boy and
• 1:08:31
  I'm going to say Southern Cal. Al covers Sheldon, where are you
• 1:08:37
  laying on this one? Sunday after a weekend in
• 1:08:39
  Raleigh. That's a good football name, by
• 1:08:41
  the way. Jamil Mohammed.
• 1:08:44
  I like like Tally. I don't know what time about
• 1:08:46
  this teams. I just kind of felt like Lincoln
• 1:08:50
  Riley is going to come with a little bit of a chip on his
• 1:08:52
  shoulder trying to prove some people wrong.
• 1:08:53
  So I think, I think USC is going to take it.
• 1:08:57
  All right, USC says that, Miranda says.
• 1:09:00
  Miranda is riding with me and you, Curtis.
• 1:09:02
  And Jason texted me he's taking LSU with the four and a half
• 1:09:06
  tally. Do you need to make a change?
• 1:09:08
  No, we got to talk to Miranda about her picks.
• 1:09:12
  She's coming. She's coming in wrong right now.
• 1:09:14
  She coming in wrong on this. One Miranda, if you watch it.
• 1:09:18
  No, because Tally follows Sheldon, so I'm following
• 1:09:23
  Sheldon. We good, but I got analytics
• 1:09:26
  backing me up, man. Hey, we can't lose.
• 1:09:29
  So Miranda, you need to get on the right board.
• 1:09:31
  You need to get on the right ship right now.
• 1:09:33
  Tally's sitting here saying if it feels good and then Shelton
• 1:09:36
  says the statistics. Feel.
• 1:09:38
  Come on now. He feels good.
• 1:09:40
  There we go, all. Right.
• 1:09:41
  Well, Tally, we know you've got a very special pick, not your
• 1:09:45
  typical big Screener, and I'm going to go ahead.
• 1:09:47
  Take the floor, my friend. Yeah, so my alma mater,
• 1:09:50
  Jacksonville State, will be playing Coastal Carolina.
• 1:09:54
  As y'all know, or you should know, my daughter is a freshman
• 1:09:57
  at JSU. We went and dropped off last
• 1:09:59
  week. So this will be her first game
• 1:10:04
  as a She's been to a couple of Virginia Tech games, but this
• 1:10:06
  will be her first college game as a college student.
• 1:10:11
  So that is a Thursday night game.
• 1:10:13
  I've told her she better do everything she can skip class to
• 1:10:17
  get there to go and be a part of that because that's going to be
• 1:10:20
  an awesome, awesome atmosphere. And also, Jacksonville State
• 1:10:27
  plays Louisville the next week. So I'll be paying attention to
• 1:10:30
  kind of see what they have so I can so I can be rooting against
• 1:10:34
  Louisville when they play them. Nice.
• 1:10:36
  All right, Well, let's go across the board.
• 1:10:37
  We'll get to you in just a second.
• 1:10:38
  Tally Brian, who you got? With the love of the game, give
• 1:10:43
  me Jacksonville State baby. Let's go right with my man
• 1:10:46
  Sally. I I'm with you because I want to
• 1:10:49
  see your baby girl see a dub on her first collegiate game, and
• 1:10:53
  I'm with Jacksonville State. And we are, as we, I'm going to
• 1:10:57
  put it up there, we already know.
• 1:10:58
  As we used to say when I went there in 2004, no, that's a long
• 1:11:03
  time ago. You can't beat our cocks.
• 1:11:06
  Go game, cocks. I feel, I feel about to know
• 1:11:13
  that I'm going against the green, but I might have.
• 1:11:16
  I might have to take the L here, but I'm going coastal.
• 1:11:19
  That's OK, all right. He's going coastal.
• 1:11:22
  You got to switch it up to Alex because Miranda went coastal as
• 1:11:25
  well. She followed.
• 1:11:28
  She followed Sheldon. That's OK.
• 1:11:29
  I ain't going to be mad. I don't know.
• 1:11:32
  All righty, all righty. Next one.
• 1:11:35
  We did let our esteemed new rider choose a game.
• 1:11:38
  Why wouldn't we? And she chose the Saturday night
• 1:11:41
  10. No, this is Sheldon next.
• 1:11:42
  My bad. Sheldon, our esteemed colleague,
• 1:11:47
  West Virginia, Penn State, what you got on this one man?
• 1:11:51
  Why you choosing? I'm going first.
• 1:11:55
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I just, I thought it
• 1:11:57
  was I think it's a really good game.
• 1:11:58
  I know that the that crowd is going to be electric, you know,
• 1:12:02
  kind of a big time non conference matchup and I will
• 1:12:06
  take WVU to cover plus eights. I think the crowds going to get
• 1:12:11
  on low lift. I don't think they're going to
• 1:12:12
  win, but I do think they will cover.
• 1:12:15
  All right, they're not going, but they're going to cover.
• 1:12:16
  Brian, what do you have on this one?
• 1:12:19
  Yeah, You know what? Give me the Nittany lines.
• 1:12:24
  I think it's going to be a big home game.
• 1:12:26
  I think that that that home atmosphere is going to carry it.
• 1:12:29
  Give me Penn State. You know this is in Morgantown,
• 1:12:32
  right? I did not.
• 1:12:34
  Damn. Uh oh.
• 1:12:34
  Yeah, it's in Morgantown, buddy. It's in Morgantown, Brian.
• 1:12:38
  You know what I'm going to ride. I'm going to continue to ride
• 1:12:40
  with Penn State, continues. We'll continue riding with Penn
• 1:12:42
  State. I, I think they're going to,
• 1:12:44
  they're going to pull it out even though it's in Morgantown,
• 1:12:47
  like Morgantown. Yeah, this is like one of those,
• 1:12:51
  I don't know, like, thank you, Penn State for Pry.
• 1:12:54
  I got a couple people at work that are Penn State alums.
• 1:12:57
  Always tell them thank you for Brent Pry.
• 1:12:59
  You don't know how much you have made us a happier society down
• 1:13:02
  here. But this game being in
• 1:13:06
  Morgantown, like Sheldon said, I think it's going to give a
• 1:13:08
  boost. I think it's going to be a war.
• 1:13:10
  Can I, can I do something? Can I go real off for saying I'm
• 1:13:13
  choosing West Virginia? I hate the schedule for this
• 1:13:17
  opening weekend. Clemson, Georgia's at 12, we're
• 1:13:19
  at 12. This games at 12.
• 1:13:21
  There's like three really good freaking games at noon and
• 1:13:27
  there's only like one at 3:30 and there's only one at 7:30 and
• 1:13:29
  there's only one on Sunday. Can they get that shit right?
• 1:13:34
  Like that irritates me as a fan. That irritates me as a fan.
• 1:13:39
  I understand. Spread it out.
• 1:13:40
  Spread it alone. Like, spread it out.
• 1:13:41
  Like, I want to sit here from noon to midnight, eat a lot of
• 1:13:46
  bad food, drink a few beers and have fun.
• 1:13:49
  Instead, it's like, oh, it's going to be at noon.
• 1:13:52
  Hey, I will be sitting in a bar after our game anyway and
• 1:13:55
  watching everything that's out there, so whatever's on, I'll
• 1:13:58
  watch it. We either.
• 1:14:00
  Going to be drinking to have fun or we we either going to be
• 1:14:03
  drinking to have fun or we going to be drinking our sorrows away.
• 1:14:06
  So I'd much rather be drinking to have fun.
• 1:14:09
  I'm going to take Penn State just because fuck, fuck West
• 1:14:15
  Virginia and and them heels have eyes looking motherfuckers from
• 1:14:20
  over there. That's all I got to say.
• 1:14:24
  And Shell's already told us he's got WVU here, and Miranda's
• 1:14:30
  riding WVU as well. So West.
• 1:14:32
  Virginia. Sheldon and Miranda.
• 1:14:36
  It's just, it's just like that. It's that stinky line.
• 1:14:39
  Like it's such a stinky line. And if.
• 1:14:42
  I had looked at the schedule wrong.
• 1:14:43
  I might would have went with the WVU, but I'm staying on business
• 1:14:47
  what I put out there. All right, let's go now to
• 1:14:51
  Miranda's. Yeah, I, and I forgot to mention
• 1:14:54
  Robbie, put it in the chat for us.
• 1:14:57
  What's that? Sorry, did I cut out?
• 1:15:06
  I'm good. You cut out, but you get, I
• 1:15:08
  said, hey shit, you cut out again.
• 1:15:13
  Rich Rod is the coach at Jacksonville State.
• 1:15:15
  That's all. Oh, yeah, yeah, there you go.
• 1:15:18
  Yes, he is the coach at Jacksonville State.
• 1:15:21
  All right, so now let's go to the only big prime time matchup,
• 1:15:27
  Notre Dame, Texas A&M in College Station, TX A and M3 Point
• 1:15:34
  favorites. I think it's a straight up
• 1:15:35
  three, which is very awkward to be a straight up three.
• 1:15:39
  This is Miranda's pick, by the way.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah, yeah. Good game.
• 1:15:42
  Good, good. Solid choice, Ron.
• 1:15:47
  You know what, I've given A&M a lot of shit in in recent years.
• 1:15:54
  Everybody knows that. It's well documented.
• 1:15:58
  I don't think this is going to be necessarily significantly
• 1:16:00
  different, but I do think they have the horses to cover this
• 1:16:07
  measly three line. So give me the Aggies.
• 1:16:10
  Here, All right, I am completely against you on this.
• 1:16:15
  I actually think Notre Dame is going to win this game outright,
• 1:16:18
  so I'm going to take the points just because in this case, Elko
• 1:16:25
  is a good coach that he's going to a situation where you feel
• 1:16:28
  like it's more horses. The question is, as we've seen
• 1:16:31
  throughout so many times, some guys can't just go in as a head
• 1:16:35
  coach and take the talent and win.
• 1:16:37
  They can find the young, they can take the the lesser guys and
• 1:16:39
  build them up like he did at Duke.
• 1:16:42
  I got to wait to see what he's going to have at A&M.
• 1:16:44
  They did lose some stuff in the portal and I don't know, I'm
• 1:16:48
  just, I, I, I can't believe in Texas A&M until they actually do
• 1:16:52
  it in front of me. Fair enough, Tally what you got.
• 1:16:58
  I'm going to say Notre Dame. I'm just going to give it to the
• 1:17:01
  Irish on here. No real reason.
• 1:17:06
  I just I like, I like the Irish in this game and kind of what
• 1:17:11
  Curtis said. You know, I do want to see Texas
• 1:17:13
  A&M show me something before I pick them.
• 1:17:17
  Shelton. I found a good stat nugget.
• 1:17:21
  So last 42 years, Notre Dame has never had a season opener where
• 1:17:26
  they have not started a senior on the offensive line.
• 1:17:29
  That's Shrek will end this year. So they don't have any seniors
• 1:17:32
  starting for them pretty young online.
• 1:17:34
  They're going into a Lion Skin and Kyle Field.
• 1:17:36
  I think the Aggies are going to be motivated.
• 1:17:38
  They've they've heard people talk some crap.
• 1:17:40
  You got a really talented roster.
• 1:17:41
  I think they're going to take this one in the season opener.
• 1:17:45
  And Miranda rode with me and Shelton on this one, taking the
• 1:17:49
  Aggies. All righty all.
• 1:17:51
  Right. I wish Shelton would give me the
• 1:17:53
  that before he makes. All right, before before we get
• 1:17:58
  to the last one, give. Me the stuff too, Sheldon.
• 1:18:00
  Come on man. Give him to give him the gritty.
• 1:18:03
  Just a couple before we get to our last pick here, our buddy
• 1:18:07
  Robbie saying tech by 21 tally. We take that, wouldn't we?
• 1:18:15
  You know what I love? I love running it.
• 1:18:17
  Yes, Sir. Hi, Chris.
• 1:18:18
  Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris.
• 1:18:20
  We'll definitely take that too. All righty, so we got one more
• 1:18:24
  game to pick in this year as part of our Big Screeners
• 1:18:29
  special. Our music man Jason Long is
• 1:18:33
  going to be giving us a little something something every week.
• 1:18:36
  This week, he's going to Boulder.
• 1:18:59
  Welcome to the 1st edition of Guitar Licks and Gridiron Picks.
• 1:19:02
  I'm Jason Long. You've been hearing my music on
• 1:19:04
  the Boundary Corner podcast for several years now.
• 1:19:07
  Well, this season the boys asked me to come on and talk about
• 1:19:09
  another one of my great passions, sports gambling.
• 1:19:12
  So each week I'm going to be matching up tunes and bets.
• 1:19:15
  Sort of like a. Degenerate hippie sommelier and
• 1:19:25
  week 1. We're headed to Boulder.
• 1:19:27
  And the car ride ride Mountain High, seeing rain fire in the
• 1:19:42
  sky and everybody 's high Colorado, North Dakota State is
• 1:20:07
  visiting Colorado on Thursday night.
• 1:20:10
  Now look at this point of the season.
• 1:20:12
  I don't know who's making the playoffs, what the bold matchup
• 1:20:14
  is going to be, but I figured this should be an interesting
• 1:20:17
  game. The Buffaloes started strong
• 1:20:19
  last year, but they finished just four and eight.
• 1:20:21
  That has not stopped Coach Prime and his team from talking a
• 1:20:24
  whole lot of trash this summer. Time to see if they can bag it
• 1:20:27
  up. Now it's year two.
• 1:20:29
  Their depth should be better. And I keep hearing that QB
• 1:20:32
  Shidor is a Heisman finalist and a future top five NFL draft
• 1:20:36
  pick. And hey, I'm not hating.
• 1:20:37
  I want to see it happen. So no offense to North Dakota
• 1:20:40
  State. The Colorado should take care
• 1:20:42
  of. Business here at home, in prime
• 1:20:44
  time no less. So with my first pick of the
• 1:20:48
  2024 season, I'm taking Colorado -9 1/2 points.
• 1:21:13
  So go get them Buffaloes. And of course, let's go Hokies.
• 1:21:17
  See you next week for another edition of Guitar Licks and
• 1:21:19
  Gridiron Picks. All righty, so there is Jason.
• 1:21:32
  Jason taking Colorado, laying the 9 1/2 points with a little
• 1:21:37
  Rocky Mountain High. And we're going to be doing that
• 1:21:40
  every week. Jason's going to be throwing us
• 1:21:42
  games. He's going to be throwing us a
• 1:21:43
  little music in. Here goes the long way back with
• 1:21:48
  Jason. So glad to bring him on for one
• 1:21:50
  little segment. So he's picked it, played a
• 1:21:53
  little tune for us. Brian, who are you taking in
• 1:21:56
  this last big screen or Thursday night?
• 1:22:00
  You know what, I'm I'm going to ride with the Buffaloes here.
• 1:22:02
  I just think even with some of the offseason shenanigans and
• 1:22:08
  kind of everything, all the hype, all the talk, all the
• 1:22:10
  trash talk, all all the silliness that we've seen, I
• 1:22:14
  still think in this case the Buffaloes just have too much
• 1:22:18
  talent at at a lot of key positions.
• 1:22:21
  I think they're going to take the win.
• 1:22:23
  Yeah, I'm with you. I definitely think they're going
• 1:22:25
  to take the win. And I definitely think, just
• 1:22:29
  hold on real quick here. There you go.
• 1:22:30
  Appreciate it Chris, I'm going Colorado taking the points 9
• 1:22:37
  1/2, but I think it is going to be a dogfight just because of
• 1:22:40
  the clash of styles. As y'all know, North Dakota
• 1:22:42
  State loves to absolutely # the rock.
• 1:22:46
  We know Colorado was subjective to giving up some runs last
• 1:22:50
  year. So Colorado later 9 1/2, they
• 1:22:55
  probably close them out mid fourth quarter went somewhere
• 1:22:58
  between 16 and 17 points. Before I get to my.
• 1:23:04
  Before I get to my pic, I want to know what was on that table
• 1:23:07
  behind you, Jason, look like a whole bunch of lotion, different
• 1:23:12
  types of lotion and why people don't be wearing lotion like
• 1:23:15
  that. I know what you're using that if
• 1:23:17
  that's lotion for look like Vaseline too.
• 1:23:20
  But anyway, I'm going to say Colorado.
• 1:23:22
  Jason, you need to be texting us and let us know what's on that
• 1:23:25
  tape. Sheldon, what you got?
• 1:23:32
  So first of all, I know I saw Robbie had a question to chat.
• 1:23:36
  Is there really a difference between a Buffalo and a bison?
• 1:23:40
  There is. It's actually somewhat of a
• 1:23:42
  misnomer. Only bison.
• 1:23:44
  Bison are in America. Buffalo are not in America,
• 1:23:48
  they're in Asia. So with all due respect to
• 1:23:51
  Colorado, your name does not make sense.
• 1:23:56
  I never knew that. It's always a bison.
• 1:23:58
  It is not a Buffalo. So with that being said, I am
• 1:24:02
  taking, I'm taking Dion and the bus.
• 1:24:04
  I know this is a trendy pick for NDSU, but they do not have the
• 1:24:07
  speed to keep up with Colorado. They're going to wear them down
• 1:24:09
  in the second-half and they will win this game.
• 1:24:11
  And he will avoid embarrassment for now.
• 1:24:16
  And finally, Miranda's on this pick.
• 1:24:20
  When we're riding the whole way back, by the way, Tally Jason
• 1:24:24
  said. It is a Lego set.
• 1:24:26
  Oh OK, OK I'm old man, my eyes is bad.
• 1:24:30
  I was just trying to make sure I was trying to see.
• 1:24:35
  You. You would have been real
• 1:24:36
  suspicious if you tried to say it was lotion, but not for the
• 1:24:39
  reason you think. So at least.
• 1:24:42
  At least he went with something else.
• 1:24:43
  It's a Lego set, everybody. I'll wait.
• 1:24:46
  You're the air. By the way, the gambler man
• 1:24:48
  Jason Long also says Jacksonville State, take
• 1:24:51
  Jacksonville State in that game. So he didn't get us all of them,
• 1:24:55
  but yeah, so. All right, we got we got a
• 1:24:57
  rundown here. Let's look at it.
• 1:24:59
  Let's look at this. This is where we landed.
• 1:25:03
  All right. OK, Are we wrong?
• 1:25:04
  Did we get it right? Let us know.
• 1:25:06
  We're going to get them wrong. Don't worry.
• 1:25:10
  Oh yeah, definitely. I'm definitely getting them
• 1:25:12
  wrong. I think I had the worst.
• 1:25:14
  I know I had the worst picks last year.
• 1:25:16
  It was horrible. So I'm going to do much better
• 1:25:19
  this year. I'm starting off good.
• 1:25:22
  Y'all better follow me because we're going to make some money
• 1:25:24
  this year I'm telling you. Make some money.
• 1:25:28
  Somebody got to keep a record of this.
• 1:25:31
  Might want to do that for us. Curtis Curtis, you just gave
• 1:25:33
  yourself another job, man. Great job man.
• 1:25:38
  Somebody needs to do this. Somebody needs to.
• 1:25:40
  Keep on this shit. Let's go.
• 1:25:42
  Let's go. Anything breaking in the last
• 1:25:45
  hour and 26 minutes, boys? You know what?
• 1:25:50
  I don't see anything breaking. I ain't got nothing breaking,
• 1:25:54
  but I do got a question I got to ask.
• 1:25:57
  I always ask a lot of dumb ass stuff, right?
• 1:25:59
  So I got to ask some dumb stuff. This is going to be starting
• 1:26:02
  with Shelton Sheldon, Virginia Tech Hokies first game of the
• 1:26:08
  season. How do we score first this year?
• 1:26:11
  What's the first score that we had?
• 1:26:15
  Let's see, because I'm a big fan of his.
• 1:26:17
  I'm going to go Jalen Lane. It's going to be let's go, it's
• 1:26:23
  going to be a pass behind the line of scrimmage.
• 1:26:25
  We're going to get a good block in the perimeter and he's going
• 1:26:27
  to take it to the house for a 17 yard score.
• 1:26:29
  Oh, Dang, that was pretty. If this comes true, we going to
• 1:26:35
  have to. We're going to have to do

  something about Sheldon. I know something's up.

  I got to go with my quarterback, quarterback keeper.
• 1:26:55
  I don't have a certain amount of touchdown yards.

  I'm just saying Karen Drones quarterback keeper touchdown
• 1:27:07
  first, first score of the season.
• 1:27:09
  First score of the season. All righty.
• 1:27:12
  Karen Drones is involved with mine, but he's not scoring a
• 1:27:15
  touchdown. He is throwing about a 45 yard
• 1:27:20
  bomb to Daquan Feldon as we pick on those inexperienced lap bad
• 1:27:24
  cornerbacks and he going to pull it out and what are you going to
• 1:27:27
  do? Like he was going down the pit
• 1:27:29
  last year. He going to let every single
• 1:27:32
  player on Vanderbilt's know what it's all about.
• 1:27:37
  All the Robbie's would be cool too.
• 1:27:40
  Put that back up there real quick.
• 1:27:41
  Robbie's would be cool too. Just house the first one.
• 1:27:44

  Let's. Get it out of the way.
• 1:27:49
  All right. I like that tally.
• 1:27:50
  You know what? That might become a statement at
• 1:27:52
  the end here how he scoring the first touchdown this week.
• 1:27:56
  Keep it going. Some weeks I'm so nervous, man,
• 1:27:58
  I I wouldn't even know what to do.
• 1:28:02
  I mean, you're nervous. This week though, the the nerves
• 1:28:04
  are off with week one, Especially when it's like, you
• 1:28:07
  know, games that it's not a conference game, it's it's not,
• 1:28:10

• 1:28:14
  you. You know, it's one of those
• 1:28:16
  games you want to win, you should win.
• 1:28:19
  You want to get over. Just aren't there because of the
• 1:28:20
  stakes that aren't. There's no real stakes attached
• 1:28:23
  to it, so. Right.
