  Speaker 1: Does Lane Kiffn just want to be unlikable? Maybe that's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: what's going on, and the ACC decided on something that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense and they're acting on it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: It's football. I've been watching it for forty years. Are
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you kidding me? You're listening to Winning Cures Everything? Game day, baby,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Wake up or get out. Here's your host, my confident
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: young man, a defirm appley, Gary Siegers. Welcome in Winning
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Cures Everything. It's a college football podcast. I'm your host,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Gary Siegers.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You all should know that by now at Gary WCEE
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on all the different socials, wherever.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You might be.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I hope that you are having a good Wednesday, because
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this one out on Wednesday morning and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it's the audio only version of the show. We have
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: moved podcast hosts now with Spreaker, and we're gonna see
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: how this thing goes. So far, so good. Finally after
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: six years, found something that I kind of liked a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: little more than who we were with. So you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we're gonna try it out. We're gonna see you guys,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: let me know what you think of it. It shouldn't
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: change anything for you guys. The RSS feed and everything
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: should be the exact same, So hopefully it's all good.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: If you haven't already subscribed to the podcast, tell your
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: friends about the show, all that good stuff, and leave
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a nice five star written review. We are getting closer
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to one hundred reviews, and I would certainly appreciate that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: because I'm wanting to do more audio stuff because I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have more time to do audio than I do video,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and as we move into the off season, there's gonna
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: be a lot more stuff to talk about. The news
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: cycle in college football is just bananas. Only going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: hit on a couple of topics today, so let's go
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ahead and get into that. We'll save the Kivin stuff
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for later. But the first thing that came out today,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the ACC released that one they are going to change
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: their tiebreaker and they are going to announce it before
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six season. So what exactly they're going
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to change it to. I have no idea, But if
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they had put Miami in the ACC championship game against Virginia,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: then we might not have had this kind of a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: mess where Notre Dame got left out and James Madison got.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It blah blah blah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Right, there's all these different things that could happen because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of that. The second thing that they put out they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: said that twelve teams. Remember this is a seventeen team conference.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The SEC moved to a nine game conference schedule. Once
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the SEC did that, the ACC just immediately followed suit
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and said, yeah, we're gonna do that too, because the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: ACC would have been the only power conference not playing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: nine conference games. And I don't feel like they put
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of foresight into it, because immediately the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: media came out and said, hold up, Hoss, that ain't
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: gonna work. You have seventeen members, it's not equal. It
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. So the ACC came out today and said
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that they will have twelve teams that will play nine
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ACC games next year, and five teams are going to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: play eight ACC games due to contractual obligations and scheduling balance.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So it goes through and I've got to double check this,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but this is the way that it's set up. Cal Duke, Louisville, Miami,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: NC State, Pitt SMU, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Forest are all going to play nine games. The teams
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with an eight game ACC schedule include Boston College, Clemson,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Florida State, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina. Now my initial
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: thought was, okay, well, these have to be the teams
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that are scheduled to play Notre Dame. What they are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: trying to do is make sure that everybody is playing
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: ten powerful opponents next year. That is their goal. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: even if you've only got eight conference games, you still
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: have to come up with.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Two more P four games.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Now that could be Notre Dame, that could be your
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in state opponent, like Georgia Tech place Georgia every year,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Clemson place South Carolina every year. You know all that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, right, Why would you implement a scheduling
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: change that does not work with your current schedule. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly how that makes sense or why the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: ACC would agree to it, but that is exactly what
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: has happened with the ACC, and I don't know how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they're going to do this going forward. Is it every
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: year you're gonna have one or three teams or whatever
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the math is, that are not able to do nine games?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Is it that you're only gonna have eight ACC games
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: per season for whoever has to play Notre Dame. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: need to know how this is gonna work because it
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: does not make.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Any kind of sense.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Why would you have a conference schedule that doesn't give
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: everybody the equal number of conference games and your tiebreaker
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is going to have to be.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: More so than just like because.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: If you've got somebody that goes seven to one and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: then you've got somebody else that goes eight and one,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: well obviously the seven and one is gonna or the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: eight and one is going to be better. But you're
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not looking at strength to schedule. You're not looking at
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it's Everything is a disaster when you do that. So
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: moving to nine games didn't exactly make a lot of sense,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and it really didn't make a lot of sense for
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the SEC when you really think about it. But regardless,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. Everybody wants bigger matchups, better games,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and all you're doing is giving more losses to half
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of your conference. So if you didn't have to do it,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would. But either way, in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: moving to a ninth conference game, my thought process was
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that the SEC was always going to get what they wanted,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: which was a sixteen team.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: College football playoff.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But we'll figure that out in late January somewhere around there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Staying in the ACC Georgia Tech's backup quarterback Aaron Filo
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: has entered the transfer portal. Brent Key came out and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit, and he basically said,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if he's going to play in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the ball game. I don't know what his status is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going to be. And from all indications, he might be
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: one of those players that is heading to Florida with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Buster Faulkner, who is their new offensive coordinator. He's leaving
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and head it over there. And from what
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I gathered, there are multiple staffers that are also joining
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: him at Florida. So we're going to see what Georgia
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Tech looks like next year with I don't think Haines
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: King has any eligibility left, but we'll see. So who knows.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But DJ Lagway gone. That's one thing that we will
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have to discuss at some point. Again, the transfer portal
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is not open January tewod is the date that you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: can put your name in the portal or that schools
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: can start contacting you. And yet we all know what's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: going on, like we all know that these things are
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: getting done well before the scheduled date. And you know
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it is what it is like. There are no tampering rules. Really,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: there's nothing like that that's really going to dissuade anybody
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: from stopping doing this. And if you don't do it,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be behind the eight ball. So you got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to get in with somebody. You got to talk to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: somebody and make sure that you are good to go.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Lane Kiffen for just a minute. Like I said,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a shorter podcast today. But Spirit
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Ben on Twitter, Ben, that's over at the old miss Spirit.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: He's the one that that effectively said that Lane Kiffen
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was a hoe. And what he did not specifically call
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin a hoe, he said that Lane Kiffen was
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: very similar to the Ludicrous song you can't turn a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: hoe into a housewife.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I get it. I understand what he was going for there.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: But Kiffen.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Like got in his face after the Mississippi State game
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and then proceeded to text him a picture of him
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in LSU gear and it was a cartoon picture of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: him wearing a hoe hat in LSU colors. And then
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on top of that, now because of Trinidad Chambliss coming
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: out yesterday and saying effectively like I don't know what
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: my future is gonna be. I'm not committing here. We're
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: gonna wait until the season's over and then I'll make
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a decision. Lane Keiffn text had been at four to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: sixteen am and asked him if he thought that trend
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was a hoe for answering the question basically the same
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: way that he did. I why would you continue to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: be worried about something that a recruiting or beat writer
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: put out on the internet. I just don't understand. You
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: have already left and gone to.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: LSU. I mean he was just in.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He was in Oxford what over the weekend I think
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: it was, And I'm sure that you're still having to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: move things and all this kind of stuff. I'm sure
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you're still doing all that. But he went to yoga
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and was spotted around town doing his thing. Why on
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: earth you would ever want to put yourself in that position?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I have no idea but to text somebody, how crazy
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: is that the Lane Kiffin is up at four sixteen
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in the morning on like a random Tuesday. I mean,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like I understand wanting to get
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to the football facility and all that kind of stuff,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: but like gracious, I don't understand it. I don't get
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it alas maybe I never will. All right, we're gonna
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: talk more later on as the season progresses, as the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: playoff progresses. We have got college football playoff games this weekend,
