You're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:01
Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
0:13
league? We're going to be looking at
0:14
Aaron George and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:17
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:20
You don't see LeBron doing that. A game where you got to go
0:23
before I told you giant feet. Saquon Barkley, at this point,
0:28
say 631-672-3108 is the number to
1:39
call. You're listening to Jabba and
1:44
the mouth. My name is Errol Marx.
1:46
My Co hosts are Mr. Flamethrower himself in a new year.
1:52
He's hanging, he's dangling, hopefully not dangling in
1:56
different areas. Ladies and gentlemen, Java
1:59
Chamberlain and the one they call Speedy.
2:03
Hopefully he's not hiding in his pants or hiding somewhere else
2:08
under the damn table. His legs are together and
2:11
hopefully not squeezing. You know what, Mr. Speedy PD,
2:16
you heard? I'm executive producer, Mr.
2:17
Aaron Fish Fishman and on the board, Mr. Tommy.

2:54
Jabba was enjoying his dinner or something.
2:56
I, I don't know because he just laid one out.
3:00
I Jabba, I got a question to ask you.
3:02
Could you do the alphabet in burps because I had AI had a bad
3:08
speedy. Stop laughing.
3:09
I have had a friend that could do that and he's dying.
3:12
Yeah, I don't think I I can't burp on command.
3:15
Really, you can't do that. No.
3:17
Really. I mean, yeah, I don't.
3:21
Yeah, I don't think I could do it.
3:22
Really. I could.
3:25
Yeah, there's, there's one. You see that you got to you got
3:28
to suck in the oxygen and just let it out.
3:31
It's like laying a fart, you know, if you some.
3:34
People can you can fart on command.
3:36
Oh, absolutely, 100%. Shut up.
3:39
I, I speedy. Can I not do that?
3:41
Oh yeah, I could do that 100%. I'm serious.
3:45
Dead serious. I could do that on command.
3:48
I absolutely can, Dude. I'm all full of gas in many
3:51
different areas. Especially, you know, I don't
3:54
know if I'm all gas. No break, as Robert Sala has
3:57
come out and said plenty of times.
3:59
And by the way, they had a lot of breaks on Sunday.
4:05
I mean, I don't know about breaks, but they lost.
4:08
But nevertheless they have they don't.
4:10
I don't know if they're going to get cut any kind of breaks
4:12
against the Eagles on what is that Sunday or Saturday, speedy?
4:16
I don't know when that. Game is Sunday, I think it's the
4:17
middle game on. Sunday Well, you should know
4:19
this, Mr. I know everything about sports, but yeah, it's
4:24
been a crazy one. I want to say something.
4:25
I know a lot of people are going to appreciate this.
4:28
I got a new camera and it's one of the high profile.
4:32
It's called near stream 20G and I read about this camera before
4:38
the new year and I bought 1 and I think it's a slam dunk.
4:41
It's a beautiful, beautiful camera.
4:43
It's a 4K camera. Obviously we use stream yard and
4:47
you cannot use 4K on stream yard, but anything under stream
4:52
yard 1080. This is an exact replica, you
4:55
know, picture replica picture of 1080K or 10 AP so or Pi,
5:01
whatever they call it. So I've got a sensational
5:04
camera, so nobody's going to complain about my picture
5:08
anymore. I don't know if anybody cares.
5:10
I got a new one coming hopefully this week.
5:13
I know your camera is a little blurry today, I don't.
5:15
Know, yeah, I don't know what's going on.
5:17
I don't know, but nevertheless, you got a new camera.
5:20
I've got a new camera job on the mouth, ladies and gentlemen,
5:23
full of new things and prepared to give you guys a lot of takes
5:29
tonight. And and we've got a new guest.
5:31
We've never had him on the show. And if you don't remember him,
5:34
he was the manager of the New York Mets.
5:37
He's very well known, lives out in Connecticut and very well
5:42
respected around the league. A little bit later to show at
5:45
9:00, we'll be talking to 10 year MLB shortstop in 16 year
5:50
MLB manager and founder of Bobby Valentine Sports and Bobby
5:55
Valentine. Very interesting to get Bobby
5:58
Valentine on because I, I would love to know his take on the New
6:01
York Mets and some of the the, the debacle moves they didn't
6:06
make this offseason. Yeah.
6:10
And some of the debacle moves that they did make.
6:13
So I, I mean, there's a lot there.
6:15
It is Bobby Valentino. There it is.
6:18
That's definitely not Bobby Valentine.
6:20
It definitely. They're completely different.
6:22
I wonder if we put, we can use AI to put their faces against
6:26
one another and see how they would look together.
6:29
I don't know I that would be an interesting sight, but anyways,
6:33
let's get into it. It's been, we have a long show.
6:35
We got a lot of content to get into and the CFB is going on as
6:40
we speak. The College Football Playoff
6:43
quarterfinals did not disappoint with three lower seeds, the
6:48
number 5 Oregon Ducks, the number six old miss.
6:52
Rebels. And the number 10 Miami
6:55
Hurricanes advancing to the semi finals along with number one
7:00
seed Indiana Hoosier Hoosiers. It started with Miami and
7:07
quarterback Carson Carlson Beck knocking off the defending
7:11
champions Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton ball 24 to 14.
7:16
Jeremiah Smith had 157 yards receiving for the Buckeyes in a
7:21
losing effort, but the Hurricanes defense picked off
7:24
freshman quarterback Julian Sayin twice, including a massive
7:29
Pick 6 later in the game. Oregon dominated Texas Tech 23
7:35
to nothing in the orange ball. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore,
7:39
who could be the number one pick by the way, was solid with 234
7:44
passing yards but 0 touchdowns and one interception against one
7:50
of the best defensive defenses defenses in college football
7:54
this year, Dan Danny Lanning. Morgan's defense was even
8:00
better, holding Texas Tech to just 215 total yards with four
8:06
sacks and two interceptions. The next game was even more
8:11
lopsided as the Indiana Hoosiers and Heisman Trophy winner
8:16
Fernando Mendoza destroyed #9 Alabama Crimson Tide 38 to 3 in
8:22
the Rose Bowl. Mendoza had 192 passing yards, 3
8:27
touchdowns while Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson was
8:31
benched in the third quarter with just 63 passing yards.
8:36
He also got hurt so I think that's why he was benched.
8:38
But that's all. That's a whole nother story.
8:40
Old miss without Lane Kiffin upset Georgia 39 to 34 in the
8:46
Sugar Bowl on a game-winning field goal with six seconds
8:50
left. Old Miss quarterback Trinidad
8:53
Champ Chambliss had 362 passing yards and two touchdowns in the
8:59
win. Miami faces Old Miss Thursday
9:02
night in the Fiesta Ball in Arizona, while Oregon faces
9:06
Indiana on Friday in the Peach. Is that is that the Peach Peach
9:13
bowl in Atlanta? I always, you know what it is
9:15
these names, these ball names, you have the Peach, you have the
9:18
beach ball. I don't know what they call
9:21
these ball games anymore. It's it's absolutely ridiculous.
9:24
But I want to go game for game and I want to speak about every
9:27
single game. I want to know all your takes
9:30
from game to game. So first game was obviously the
9:34
the Buckeyes who showed up or didn't show up against the
9:38
Hurricanes. And what I could say about it is
9:42
caution Beck, I believe, I don't know if had he had one of his
9:46
best games, but he proved why he could be a late first round
9:51
draft pick. Now the numbers wouldn't show
9:53
that. And I know everybody's going to
9:55
say well, caution Beck didn't really dominate the game.
9:59
When you look at what Sayin did, Sayin put up I think 280 yards.
10:03
He still had a good throwing game.
10:06
He didn't look bad. He did throw 2 massive
10:09
interceptions, 2 really bad interceptions.
10:12
But he's a freshman and he he was a Heisman Trophy candidate
10:16
as a freshman. And he's going to have another
10:19
chance next year with a very good recruiting class with one
10:22
of the best coaches in the country and one of the loudest
10:25
coaches in the country after the game.
10:27
And we'll get into that in just a few moments.
10:29
And and, and to me was just dominated by a hurricanes
10:33
defense. This absolutely obliviated the
10:38
Ohio State offensive line. Now, Ohio State's offensive line
10:41
has been really, really good all season long.
10:44
They have three guys that are absolutely going to be either
10:49
first round or second round picks.
10:51
They're they're tremendous. And the Buckeyes could
10:55
absolutely run the ball and they ran the ball very, very well all
11:00
season. But against the Hurricanes, in
11:03
certain aspects of these game, this game, they couldn't. the
11:07
Hurricanes in Bain, who I put, I think Bain is going to be a top
11:13
five pick, showed why I believe you.
11:16
You look at teams like The Jets who might trade down or maybe
11:20
even the Giants at #5 looking for another pass rusher because
11:24
Thibodeau might not be a part of the organization for much
11:27
longer. Bain could absolutely be a top
11:32
five pick, but they had a tremendous showing the
11:37
Hurricanes front 7 and they put a lot of pressure on saying and
11:41
and what was so impressive, and I'll I'll say this.
11:44
What was so impressive about the Hurricanes is it wasn't like
11:49
they were a first half team and they didn't show up in the
11:54
second-half and the defense really had to pick up the pace.
11:56
They were, they played well in the first half and they played
11:59
very well in the second-half. And, and you would have thought
12:02
that Day was going to be the better coach in this game, but
12:06
he wasn't. And I was questioning Day
12:09
calling the plays, the offensive side of the ball.
12:12
I I, I, I I think before the game there was, there was a
12:15
story that came out that Day was not the offensive corner.
12:19
Who's the offensive coordinator? I I oh, Chip Kelly.
12:22
No, no. Was it Chip Kelly?
12:23
Yeah, it was Chip Kelly that that stepped down and this was
12:26
the whole tension throughout the season.
12:28
Brian Hartline was the other receiver coach that actually got
12:30
promoted somewhere else. That's what I said.
12:32
Brian Hartline was supposed to be the offensive coordinator of
12:36
the game and like 24 to 48 hours before the game, Ohio State and
12:41
Day announced that he is going to be taking over the play
12:45
calling. I don't know if that affected
12:47
the game plan, but you can see the difference early in the game
12:51
that Saying wasn't comfortable the play calling.
12:54
You saw that saying kept going in and out of the huddle trying
12:57
to figure out what he wants to run and how he wants to run the
13:00
the plays. You can see that there was
13:02
something going on in, you know, in the circle and on the
13:07
sidelines with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
13:10
You think there's a miscommunication?
13:11
Absolutely, absolutely. And and what I heard before,
13:15
like 3-4 days before the game, his heart lines going to be
13:18
taking over the play calling and he was the guy.
13:21
And then you could see him on the sidelines and he wasn't
13:23
holding anything but a clipboard or a tablet.
13:27
And you can see that he was frustrated.
13:29
A lot of the players, a lot of the offensive side of, you know,
13:33
Smith, you could tell when when there was timeouts being called
13:37
and they were huddling up on the sidelines and when Daniel Day
13:40
was talking to Smith and talking to saying that there was some
13:43
kind of discommunication. There was.
13:46
Now, that doesn't mean that Day isn't a good offensive play
13:49
caller because he's proven to be.
13:51
If you look at his past and what he has done as a coach and as an
13:55
offensive play caller, he's been very successful on the
13:58
sidelines. But you can tell that they
14:00
weren't running the ball like they usually do.
14:03
And that was because the Hurricanes were clogging up the
14:05
middle, forcing them to throw the ball.
14:07
Now, Smith, we, we all know Jeremiah Smith is going to be a
14:11
star in the NFL and he's a star right now in the NCAA.
14:15
And I, I believe the Hurricane said, hey, listen, if this guy
14:19
only beats us and we shut down everybody else, we're going to
14:21
win this game. And that's what they did.
14:24
Jeremiah Smith was the only one that was really beating him to
14:28
the punch, saying he put up numbers and but there were
14:32
numbers coming at the end of the game and I I do believe that
14:36
saying has a bright future. I think the kid is going to be
14:39
probably a top three pick, maybe the number one pick in two or
14:42
three years. He is that kind of quarterback,
14:45
pretty boy, has a sensational arm, can move inside and out of
14:49
the pocket. He's still a freshman, still
14:51
learning the game, still figuring out the game and he's
14:53
very well coached. I expect, yes, absolutely, 18
14:57
years old, 17, going to be 18 years old.
15:01
He's got a tremendous future in front of him.
15:04
But what what bothers me in this game and why the Ohio State
15:08
Buckeyes just flat out got beaten is they obviously didn't
15:13
watch enough film. They didn't watch enough watch
15:15
enough tape. Because if they did, they would
15:17
know that their front three over there with the Hurricanes are as
15:23
dominant as any front three in the nation.
15:26
And led by Bain, who was sensational all game long,
15:29
putting pressure then. And that was interesting.
15:32
I I've never seen and I've watched a lot of college
15:35
football. At the end of the season, how
15:37
many players, Speedy, do you know where a coach is moving
15:42
that same player on all different facets of the field?
15:46
They were using them on the right side, they were using them
15:49
on the left side. They were using them in the
15:51
middle. He was pressuring them all over
15:54
the field. And what they were doing is they
15:57
were trying to cause mismatches and and put them in the best
16:00
position to get to say and and put pressure on him.
16:03
Satan had no time in the first half, no time whatsoever to
16:06
throw the ball. You could see it.
16:09
And he was so frustrated going into the half that you see him
16:12
walking off the field and he's, you know, he's biting.
16:16
When you're frustrated, you're usually doing something that you
16:19
don't usually do. And you could see it.
16:20
He was walking off the field. He was biting on his his
16:23
mouthpiece. He just looked very, very
16:26
uncomfortable. And going into the second-half,
16:30
you would have thought that day Speedy was going to figure
16:33
things out. And I just think heard the
16:35
Hurricanes were so ready to go into this game and shock the
16:39
world because the Ohio State Buckeyes, if I'm not mistaken,
16:42
were nine and a half, 9 1/2 point favorites in this game.
16:46
And it wasn't. What did the Ohio State Buckeyes
16:50
put up in this game? 14 points, 14 points and they
16:53
were 9 1/2 point favorites. So they only scored what, five
16:58
more or four more points than they were expected to.
17:01
To score or outplay A Hurricanes team and, and, and a Hurricanes
17:05
team, that is not very good as far as I'm concerned offensively
17:09
against great defensive teams. And I will say this, even though
17:14
when you look at Carlson Beck's numbers, they're not stand out
17:18
numbers that really like, wow, these are great numbers.
17:21
But when he needed to make a play speedy, he made it.
17:23
Yeah. And that's where you look at
17:25
somebody like saying who's a freshman that maybe has not had
17:28
to face sensing pressure a lot of times.
17:30
And Miami with three really good pass rushers and some good
17:33
linebackers as well, made it hard on them.
17:35
And you look at something like the offensive coordinating
17:38
situation to Brian Hartline could have taken a head coaching
17:40
job somewhere else. Obviously Chip Kelly being fired
17:43
and then he goes the Raiders, then he gets fired over there
17:45
too and they didn't want him back and there was a whole
17:47
situation with that. There was just so much conflict
17:50
that I think a freshman quarterback is not used to kind
17:52
of thing when you've just been coasting all year.
17:55
And again, I thought Ohio State usually, usually those kinds of
17:58
losses that they have against Indiana team like that, that's
18:00
usually a good reset loss refocus where you don't have to
18:03
play the same way. And they still got phased by it.
18:06
And Miami was a veteran team for Carson Beck, a veteran
18:09
quarterback did not get phased by it.
18:10
Yeah, he wasn't flashy. Yeah, he wasn't amazing, but he
18:13
did everything right, that everything's smart that he needs
18:16
to do in the second-half of that game to get key first downs.
18:18
Third down conversion in the second-half were a huge part
18:21
because Ohio State was getting some momentum.
18:22
Miami was up early. And Ohio State got it within a
18:25
score and Miami converted a lot of key third downs in that third
18:30
quarter and fourth quarter to keep it going.
18:31
And something like the Miami defense, too, they know what
18:35
they have to do to make it harder on these guys.
18:37
They let Smith do their thing. But Indiana kind of gave him the
18:40
blueprint. You can stop the run and stop
18:42
Carnell. Tate let Smith do his thing.
18:44
And Miami stuck to that game plan with probably more
18:46
defensive talent overall in the front than Indiana does and made
18:50
that kind of thing work and never made saying comfortable at
18:52
all. And on the offensive side, like
18:54
you said, Cristobal has beaten Ryan Day before.
18:56
Ryan Day, I've questioned at times as a good as whether he's
19:00
a good in game play calling head coach.
19:02
He's a good scheme guy and stuff like that.
19:03
And obviously last year he proved me wrong.
19:05
But again, there's other years where it's like you could just
19:08
be all talent driven and not as good of a play call, especially
19:10
with a freshman quarterback, and you're not going to be able to
19:12
win like that, especially against a coach like Cristobal
19:14
that is familiar with your game. I will say this, the Hurricanes
19:18
could run the ball and they ran the ball against the Ohio State
19:22
Buckeyes team that has one of the best defenses in the
19:24
country. They've been one of the best
19:26
defenses in the country for the last 10 seasons.
19:29
So they have been as dominant as any defense.
19:31
And to watch the Hurricanes run the ball and put it right down,
19:35
they ran it right down their throats every single part of
19:39
that game. They put pressure on the on the
19:42
defensive side of the ball. They pressed and made sure that
19:45
that that Ohio State Buckeyes was getting tired.
19:48
And as soon as they got tired, it opened up the field for some
19:51
of the tight ends and some of the wide receivers with the
19:54
Hurricanes. the Hurricanes don't have superstar wide receivers.
19:57
They don't have guys that really just stick out like a Jeremiah
20:00
Smith. But they had enough offense in
20:03
this game to put pressure on the her pressure on the Buckeyes
20:07
where the Buckeyes were trying to run the ball early in the
20:10
game couldn't and had to be 1 dimensional.
20:13
When you make the Buckeyes 1 dimensional, when you make day
20:16
one-dimensional, that's when you figure out how you can beat
20:19
them. And I think that's the that's
20:21
what they did. I think that's what made the
20:23
Hurricanes pull off this upset was.
20:25
They made the Buckeyes 1 dimensional.
20:28
Yeah, and you mentioned the offensive line, so they have a
20:29
lot of match of advantages that they should be able to win
20:32
because they've done it all year, especially in the
20:33
interior, too. And Miami was able to get
20:36
pressure in so many different areas where they could not run
20:38
the ball. And we've seen teams go in
20:40
volume with coaches like that that just say, all right, we're
20:43
going to trust him to throw the ball.
20:44
And again, it works for an individual stat line with Smith.
20:46
But even we've seen that at the NFL level, too.
20:48
Sometimes you just decoy the rest of the field and just let
20:51
the star receiver do one thing and then all of a sudden you
20:53
don't have a consistent enough passing game.
20:55
And again, when you know when you lost all the talent that you
20:57
lost from last year too, from the championship team, It's just
21:00
hard for a young quarterback to adapt.
21:01
And Ryan Day never adapted. Stay in, obviously struggled.
21:04
And also shout out, by the way, shout out to a guy that we've
21:07
had on the show too, Kiante Scott.
21:09
He got the pick six in that game.
21:10
We had him on the show when he was with Auburn.
21:11
Now with Miami getting the interception, but great for
21:14
Miami's defense. Now they get a test, a test with
21:16
Ole Miss next week. We'll see how they deal with
21:17
that. But this is a really good win
21:19
for a team like Miami. Yeah, I think, and we touched on
21:22
it before on the show. I I think this is where like
21:25
era, like you said, where you know, you're having a young kid
21:28
and you touched on 2 Speedy, like how you made adjustments
21:31
and you're talking about Carson Beck.
21:32
Carson Beck has won before. He's been in these situations
21:37
and it was, it wasn't too big for him.
21:39
I felt like Sam was frustrated because he hasn't necessarily
21:43
been in the situation with the stakes like this.
21:46
And I believe that being around a winning culture creates
21:50
winning culture when you've done it before.
21:52
He's obviously a freshman starting quarterback at Ohio
21:55
State, but Carson Becks was the backup quarterback for two
21:59
national championships. So he's been around the culture,
22:01
understands what it takes to win.
22:03
And I for me, obviously the defense, Miami, they were
22:07
extremely fast up front, the linebackers making plays.
22:10
But when it came down to it, you, you never saw like Carson
22:15
Beck panic. I mean, he's on what year?
22:18
Like 6-5 or five. 5 is a starter.
22:21
Well, three is a starter. Five overall in college.
22:23
Football five overall, yeah. And where he was just all right,
22:27
this is going to happen. They were making a little run.
22:29
Here we go. And he was just able to calm
22:33
down and do it because he's been in those situations, he's been
22:36
around it. And I think that's a huge part
22:39
when you're the leader, the quarterback is obviously that
22:43
guy. And I'm not taking any anything
22:46
away from saying at all because he's going to be unbelievable.
22:49
And this is just going to make him better because he's going to
22:51
understand what it takes to win. And it sucks losing when you get
22:55
to this point. And I think for him being as
22:58
talented as he is, as young as he is, it's just going to make
23:00
him better. But for me, overall, it was just
23:03
the experience that ended up. And, and we've talked about the
23:07
coaching aspect where we, we think that's a part of it, you
23:11
know, talking about the miscommunication on, on one side
23:13
and here and there. But when it comes out, you got
23:16
to execute, right? You got to execute.
23:17
And you had a guy that's been there before and, and I think
23:20
that was that was the tell all for me.
23:23
The Hurricanes offensive line outplayed the Ohio State
23:26
Buckeyes offensive line. That's what stood out to me too.
23:29
Who would have thought the Hurricanes offensive line was
23:31
going to be able to stop the Buckeyes the way the front 7 has
23:34
played all season long? You're talking about maybe 7
23:38
guys, 77 guys from the starting defense of the Buckeyes.
23:42
That could be first round picks and maybe early second round
23:46
picks. Think about it.
23:47
And they couldn't put any pressure on Carlson Beck caution
23:51
back early in the game was standing, you know, standing in
23:54
the pocket, making plays, moving outside of the pocket, using his
23:58
legs. And and again, it goes to the
24:00
defense of the Hurricanes that were that was very, very
24:03
dominant. Bain and Messidor, who were to
24:06
me as dominant as we've ever seen them all season long.
24:09
I watched the Hurricanes a couple of times this year.
24:12
I didn't know I've heard about Bain.
24:15
Everybody was bragging about this kid, but I didn't know how
24:17
good this kid was going to be. And now watching them on a
24:21
national stage in a ball game, he was ridiculous.
24:24
Absolutely. The Ohio State Buckeyes tried to
24:27
double team them. They use tight ends, they use
24:29
running backs to try to stop this guy.
24:31
He was going inside, he was going outside, He was dominating
24:35
the line of scrimmage. And there was nothing Jeremiah,
24:39
Jeremiah Smith could do because they were using Jeremiah Smith
24:42
early in the game, as I would say, I wouldn't say as a running
24:46
decoy, but they were using the short passes.
24:48
They were doing things that you use to run running back to do
24:51
with Jeremiah Smith because the running backs couldn't get open.
24:55
They couldn't do anything. It was, it was to me a
24:58
completely dominate, dominated fashion by an Ohio State Buckeye
25:04
team that was a national champion last year, was the
25:07
favorites of winning the national championship this year.
25:10
I, I think everybody you heard we had Scooby on last week and
25:15
Scooby said I'm I'm going with Ohio State.
25:17
I had them in the beginning of the year and when you look at
25:20
their recruiting class, you can't even argue their
25:21
recruiting class wasn't the best recruiting class by the way they
25:25
played all season long. They were sensational,
25:28
absolutely sensational. And, and again, it goes to Bain
25:32
and Messador, but I think Bain was the guy that really just
25:35
completely dominated all game long.
25:39
And it was, it was fun to watch. It really was Speaking of fun.
25:43
I mean, I don't know about fun, but it was it wasn't fun to
25:46
watch the Oregon Ducks knock off the Texas Tech Red Raiders 23 to
25:51
nothing. And Dante Moore is is expected
25:55
to be a top three pick. And now that The Jets are
25:57
sitting at 2 and the Raiders at 1:00, there's going to be a lot
26:00
of questions on where both teams are going to be looking at these
26:04
two quarterbacks and how they're going to be looking at these
26:06
quarterbacks and both guys are going to be facing against one
26:09
another in the semi finals. But what I saw with Dante Moore
26:14
in this particular game, it gets a very good defense, a dominant
26:17
defense, was the guy was calm. He stood in the pocket when he
26:21
needed to get outside of the pocket.
26:23
He used his legs and he, he does it so calmly and, and so, so
26:29
relaxing. And it, and I know everybody's
26:31
going to look at Deonte Moore's numbers as a rusher.
26:34
He had 10 attempts and a -12 he only, he had a couple of
26:39
negative run backs or later in the game, but he looked like he
26:44
was Tom and he wasn't careless with the ball.
26:47
He made a mistake. He threw an interception.
26:49
No question that he did. But look at his quarterback
26:52
rating. His quarterback rating was
26:54
132.3. When you look at a quarterback,
26:57
quarterback rating at 132.3, you know, he was having a good game,
27:02
26 out of 33 completed. He, he really had, to me, a good
27:09
game that wasn't a spectacular game.
27:12
And if he wants to go #1 if he wants to go to the Raiders or
27:14
The Jets or he wants to go in the top three, he's going to
27:17
have to show off his legs and his arms in the semi finals
27:21
against the Indiana Hoosiers, who has a very good defense and
27:24
is going to put pressure on many different sides of the bowl.
27:28
But I, I, I will say this, the Ducks are going to run the ball.
27:34
They've they use a lot of different guys in Hill, Junior,
27:38
Whittington, Davison, they use a number of running backs.
27:43
They have I, I would say a trio of running backs that can run
27:47
the ball, including Dante Moore. So that's what they do and
27:50
that's what they do strong. Dan Lanning likes to run the
27:52
ball and he is going to pound it, pound it, pound it.
27:57
Now Indiana's one of the best run stopping teams in the
28:00
nation. But it the the thing about
28:03
Deonte Moore that I love about him is he also has the arm
28:07
strength, arm strength to beat you and he's got weapons.
28:11
He has one of the best tight ends in the country.
28:13
And Johnson, who this particular game against Texas Tech had four
28:17
receptions for 66 yards. And then they have Benson and
28:21
they have guys that can catch the ball in many different
28:24
savants of the game. And Lamar, who is a running back
28:27
that they use him in in the throwing game just as much as
28:30
the running game. They've got weapons all over the
28:32
field. The Oregon docks and their
28:34
defense is one of the best in the country and they're very
28:38
good at stopping the run. Now the question, and we will
28:42
get into comparing in the comparison of Indiana against
28:45
Oregon, Texas Tech. I don't know what happened in
28:48
this game. I don't know what happened.
28:50
I don't know if they really even wanted to show up to the game
28:53
because this was a big game for the for a, for a team like the
28:58
Red Raiders. They're going into the game, a
29:00
lot of people thought they were going to be able to run the ball
29:03
and control the clock and and dominate the line of scrimmage.
29:07
Even though Williams had a very good game, he did rush for 13
29:11
for 81 yards and he had a fit, but he had really what stood out
29:15
with that 81 yards was 150 yard run.
29:19
There was nothing they can do against the Oregon Ducks running
29:22
the ball. And I I will say this, if you
29:26
sit back and you watch and you watch this game, you would
29:30
wonder if Dan Lanning just completely out coached Texas
29:35
Tech and their offense in their defense.
29:37
And Dan Lanning has a lot to prove going into the semi finals
29:40
against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Hoosiers have Signetti who
29:44
is one of the best coaches in the country.
29:46
He's one back-to-back coaches, a coach of the year.
29:49
So we we all know what Signetti can do and and what he can do as
29:53
a as a play caller. I could say that Dan Lanning is
29:55
one of the best play callers in the country.
29:58
And if there's anybody that can beat the Indiana Hoosiers in a
30:02
big game. And remember, I I was at the
30:04
Heisman Trophy, you know, Heisman Trophy dinner.
30:08
And I asked Mendoza, what was the game that stood out to you
30:11
that changed your season? And what did he say is when we
30:15
beat the Oregon Ducks in Oregon, that's what he said.
30:18
And now these guys know each other.
30:20
They played against each other this year.
30:23
Now you know the Ducks are going to go into the game.
30:25
They have obviously have a sour taste in their mouth after
30:29
losing against the team that they thought they were better
30:32
than going into that game. And throughout the year, Dan
30:37
Lanning was questioning that particular game.
30:40
And now you look back and you wonder, is, is this Oregon Duck
30:45
team good enough to beat the Hoosiers in the biggest game of
30:50
Dan Lanning's career? Speedy.
30:52
Yeah, they're. One of the they're one of the
30:53
teams that are most balanced, I think even going into the
30:55
playoffs and I think of the four teams left, they definitely are
30:58
because you mentioned it, they can run three different running
31:00
backs and they've also run a lot of receivers as running backs as
31:03
well, which can make it very interesting.
31:05
Now, you're right, Oregon, Oregon's offense, I don't think
31:07
was like super amazing in this game, but Texas Tech doesn't
31:10
have a tough defense and it took a while to get going.
31:12
Oregon in that game, that was a scoreless game, very sloppy
31:14
first quarter in that game. You mentioned that one run with
31:17
Texas Tech in the second quarter was their big spark, but then
31:20
they never did anything else on offense after that.
31:22
And Oregon, while they their defense did play very well,
31:25
their offense can't start slow against a team like Indiana like
31:28
they did in this game. And Dante, more like you're
31:30
saying he made some good decisions.
31:32
He made some bad decisions. I still want to see a little
31:34
more from him for a quarterback that was one of the best
31:36
statistical ones in the league. But like you said, landing, it's
31:40
weird to think like landing is probably he's only a fourth year
31:43
coach and yeah, he's one of the more experienced coaches left in
31:45
this tournament and it's because he's coaching he.
31:47
Is the best play caller in this tournament.
31:49
I agree and the reason for that is I think he's making it where
31:53
this offensive line can still dominate and even against a good
31:56
Texas Tech defensive line and schematically they know how to
32:00
get the blockers there to help out their running game too.
32:02
And that just wore out a team like Texas Tech overtime and
32:05
Texas Techies. They can't get any possession
32:07
time on offense, wasn't going to be able to do anything.
32:09
Now, will Oregon be able to transition that to Indiana will
32:12
be another question because Indiana can stop the run,
32:14
definitely. But at the same time, Oregon's
32:17
defense shows they can play with anybody.
32:19
And a lot of people were questioning their schedule, but
32:21
they've definitely made a mark. And then there's the Indiana
32:25
Hoosiers. Everybody expects to go to a
32:30
national championship. Signetti, best coach of the
32:34
year. Mendoza, Heisman Trophy winner
32:38
going into a game against the Alabama Crimson Tide, a team
32:43
that I believe should not be here.
32:45
Notre Dame should have made it. But going into the game, a lot
32:49
of people thought that Alabama was going to create a lot of
32:52
problems for the Indiana Hoosiers.
32:54
And boy, oh boy, there was no problems even set by the Alabama
32:58
Crimson Tide. I don't even know if Alabama
33:00
realized that they were playing at a football game.
33:03
Maybe they were still asleep. I have no idea what was going on
33:08
with Alabama. This is a a very prestige
33:12
school. A-Team and and and and a program
33:16
that's won national championship after national championship.
33:19
I know this isn't Nick Saban. This is de Boer.
33:23
And and De Boer is still one of the best offensive minds in the
33:26
country. There's no question that he
33:28
knows how to make plays and he he knows how to play a call, a
33:31
game. We've seen him do it very, very
33:33
well and when he did it with Washington.
33:36
But this was his chance. This was Alabama's chance to
33:40
knock off a number one seed and and shock the world, Shock the
33:45
whole, I guess the committee and tell the committee you were
33:48
right. You were right to pick us.
33:50
Not an order, Dame. And boy, oh boy, were they
33:53
wrong. The committee was absolutely
33:56
wrong. Watching this game.
33:57
It was completely dominated by the offensive line of the
34:02
Indiana Hoosiers. They dominated the line of
34:05
scrimmage. They I know when you look at it,
34:08
they had three sacks against Mendoza, but those 3 sacks came
34:11
at the end of the game before really it came in the third
34:16
quarter. Going into the fourth quarter,
34:18
the game was over. It really was over by the time
34:22
they were sacking Mendoza and and The thing is Mendoza didn't
34:28
have one of those games that really just like wowed you.
34:31
I mean his quarterback rating was 250 point .2 which is
34:34
ridiculous. I don't I don't remember a
34:36
quarterback that had a quarterback rating in a semi
34:39
final. I mean a quarterfinals of 250.2.
34:43
But nevertheless it wasn't one of his best games.
34:45
He was 14 for 16192 yards, 3 touchdowns, and he was sacked 3
34:49
times. But what made the game so fun to
34:54
watch was Alabama is, is a good defense.
34:57
They're they're not a great defense and it's been their
34:59
problem. And here's the thing, Alabama
35:02
needs to figure out what's going on in the running game because
35:04
they cannot run the ball. They've had problems all season
35:08
long on running the ball and Alabama forever has had one of
35:14
the best running teams and running games in all of the
35:17
country year in and year out. Go look at the running backs
35:20
that have come have come from the Alabama Crimson Tide.
35:23
Derrick Henry's one of them. He's a Heisman Trophy winner.
35:27
There's a lot of great running backs that have come from the
35:30
Alabama Crimson Tide, but for some reason this year they've
35:36
had problems running the ball. The offensive line that they
35:39
definitely need to go out there and recruit better offensive
35:42
lineman. And maybe they have a better
35:43
recruiting class or maybe they go into the portal and find
35:47
somebody from somewhere else. But this is not a good offensive
35:51
line. And Ty Simpson did get pulled,
35:54
but he was not healthy. He did not.
35:56
He got hit too many times in the game and and again, the Hoosiers
36:00
put a lot of pressure on Ty Simpson.
36:03
Now the question is, is Ty Simpson going to go into the
36:05
draft this year or he's going to skip the draft and and play one
36:09
more season, one more year and then go into next year's
36:12
overloaded quarterback draft? Because this year when you look
36:17
at it, the two, the only two guys that are probably going to
36:20
be drafted in the top 10 is Mendoza and Dante.
36:24
Those are the only two guys that are probably going to be drafted
36:27
in the top 10. This is not a quarterback class.
36:30
And a lot of people question Mendoza is, is Mendoza an NFL
36:33
quarterback? And and like we were just
36:35
saying, speedy, is Deonte an NFL quarterback or is the NFL ready?
36:42
So there's a lot of questions. The more if he's going to be
36:45
ready, are they going to whoever drafts him?
36:46
Are they going to sit him, sit him out for six or seven weeks
36:50
before they play him? Because that's what the Giants
36:53
did with Jackson Dart. Well, they waited only four
36:55
weeks. They get Jackson Dart on the
36:56
field because Russell Wilson absolutely sucks.
36:58
And they they weren't trusting Jameis Jameis Winston.
37:03
But what I could say about this game was complete total
37:08
domination. Deboer got out coached by
37:10
Signetti and Deboer is not a bad coach.
37:13
I know a lot of people would probably say fire, fire, fire
37:16
Deboer. This is what Deboer second year
37:19
I and this this is the problem when it comes to fans and and
37:24
obviously the the way they arrange the the the way they
37:29
pick their coaches and arrange their defenses to the offense
37:32
and and and really try to discover who they are and what
37:35
they're what the team is personality is on the on the
37:39
field. I I will say this, Indiana
37:43
should be here. Indiana deserves to be the
37:46
number one seed. Indiana has done everything
37:49
right this season to be sitting in the semi finals as the
37:54
favorites are going to the championship game and possibly
37:58
being this year's national champion and Indiana's first
38:01
national championship as as a football team.
38:04
Yeah, it's one of those things where you look at these program
38:07
debates of who should have made it, Oklahoma, Notre Dame,
38:10
Indiana or Alabama and Miami, Those were the debate.
38:13
Indiana looks like would have dominated every one of them.
38:15
I did 38 to 3. And dominating the line of
38:18
scrimmage pretty much the entire game is not something that could
38:21
be taking lightly. And this is the only team that
38:23
now we've had a sample of eight games in this new 12 team
38:27
playoff format. They're the only team with a buy
38:29
that actually used it and prepared for it correctly
38:32
because the other the other seven teams in combined two
38:34
years and now lost. And that says a lot about Kurt
38:37
Signati. That says a lot about Mendoza,
38:39
and Mendoza was going to take what he was given against an
38:41
Alabama secondary that is good. Yes, it's not Nick Saban level
38:44
good. It's not that level of a
38:46
defense, but it's still a good defense.
38:48
Throughout the year. They're playing against a lot of
38:49
good offenses in the SEC. And then Mendoza, that running
38:52
game, they just took what they were giving the offensive line,
38:54
like you said, dominated that whole game.
38:56
And it's something that Indiana can carry over where they don't
39:00
have to play the same way. Speedy.
39:01
They had almost 200 yard rushers in the game.
39:05
Black and Hemby. Hemby had 89 yards and Black had
39:09
99 yards. Both of them had touchdowns and
39:12
and the like I said, they were beating up Alabama front seven.
39:16
They were beating them up, pushing them, dominating at the
39:20
line of scrimmage. Mendoza could have sat in the
39:23
pocket for 20 minutes at some parts of the game.
39:26
He was just standing there pretty and and setting his feet
39:29
and ready to throw the ball. He had more than enough time to
39:32
make every single throw. Yeah, he was sacked 3 times.
39:35
Like I said, it was that that before they pulled him and put
39:38
his brother in, it was really, it was the late, late third
39:42
quarter going into the fourth quarter where they got all their
39:44
sacks. They couldn't touch him in the
39:46
first half. Errol, they didn't do anything
39:49
to. All he had to be was a game
39:51
manager, quarterback and you have the Heisman Trophy winner.
39:54
Only all he has to do is game manager because they can't stop
39:57
the run. He missed 2 passes the whole
39:59
game. He didn't have to do anything.
40:02
It was unbelievable. It was a massacre.
40:05
The best moment that they showed a clip of that they showed a few
40:09
times was this stair sitting that he gave De Boer when De
40:13
Boer tried to do that like formation, like a drill on like
40:17
4th down to get in the jump off side so they can get a first
40:19
down. And like they shifted a million
40:21
times and De Boer just has this stare.
40:24
I mean, Signet has this stare at him.
40:26
He's like, are you really think that my team that I coach would
40:30
jump off sides? The nerve that you would try
40:33
that against my undefeated squad.
40:36
He's carrying himself in such a way.
40:38
I've been watching some more things about him.
40:40
He keeps his coaches. He doesn't come.
40:42
They're late at all. He's like famous for saying like
40:45
I've this, the guys I have, they've been with me forever.
40:48
I don't want to keep anyone late.
40:50
I hated when people kept me after times I needed.
40:53
I'm not your babysitter. You're done.
40:55
Go home. Leave.
40:56
When, whenever. When we're here, we're business
40:59
and we're all about business practice is an hour 45, hour 30
41:04
like he's this is mind blowing type stuff compared to what
41:10
they're doing in the SEC. And you're seeing right now SEC
41:14
players who are supposed to be more physical than Big 10
41:17
players, maybe more broken down than this seemingly pretty fresh
41:23
Indiana squad right now. But just think.
41:25
About this because of how he's coaching during the practice
41:27
week. Think about this, most of these
41:29
guys came from the portal, came from James Madison.
41:32
These guys weren't five star recruits, 4 star recruits on
41:35
Indiana. They were like not even 2 star
41:38
recruits and and they outplayed guys that were 4 1/2 star
41:42
recruits, 5 star recruits. Think about it.
41:44
That's how amazing Indiana has looked all season.
41:47
You could see there together. I was over there at the Heisman
41:50
Trophy dinner when when he was called up to make his speech
41:54
after he won the Heisman Trophy, how all the players went crazy
41:58
for him. They lifted him up.
41:59
It was like he was Jesus Christ. That's what it was.
42:03
It was crazy. I I, I've never seen, I've been
42:07
to I, this was the second Heisman Trophy dinner I was at,
42:10
I was at the Gremlins last year, OK.
42:12
And none of it, besides Deion Sanders and Shaddor Sanders,
42:16
none of his team mates actually came to the dinner.
42:19
Nobody cared that Travis Hunter was going to win the Heisman.
42:22
He shouldn't have won the Heisman.
42:24
But you can see how much love his players have for Mendoza.
42:28
They love him. They absolutely adore this guy
42:31
and he might not be the most athletic, he might not have the
42:35
best arm, but when he needs to make a throw, he needs to make a
42:39
play and the players need a block for him.
42:41
Boy oh boy, they beat the hell out of anybody that tries to get
42:45
to him. Dante Moore has all the
42:47
athleticism 100. Percent.
42:49
Just like you're saying, like he, Mendoza doesn't have
42:52
necessarily that kind of athleticism, but give me Mendoza
42:55
every time. I'm sorry.
42:57
Like you can project to the next level all you want.
42:59
Mendoza's ready to win right now and if they can't run the ball,
43:05
Oregon and we'll talk more about obviously the semi finals games
43:09
on Thursday right before the game start Thursday and Friday,
43:12
which is going to be awesome. We have to do that.
43:14
I I just think it's, it's going to be really tough if Dante
43:18
Moore has to do it. Speaking of, probably the best
43:21
game of all of the CFP of all four games was, and I'll say
43:29
this, it was Old Miss and Georgia.
43:32
This game was sensational to watch.
43:35
It was back and forth defense to offense at Chambliss had the
43:39
best weekend out of any of the quarterbacks.
43:42
He was 30 for 46362 yards and two touchdowns.
43:46
If you know the story of this kid, it's sensational.
43:50
The fact that Lane Kiffin is not that Lane Kiffin is laughing to
43:53
the bank, $750,000 this guy has made in two games because his
43:59
team knocks off Tulane and knocks off the Georgia Bulldogs.
44:03
Nobody would have thought they were going to knock off the
44:06
Georgia Bulldogs. But this isn't the same Georgia
44:08
Bulldog team that we remember offensively.
44:11
The Georgia Bulldogs all season long has had problems putting
44:14
points up. This particular game, they
44:16
didn't, but they made a lot of mistakes defensively on this in
44:19
the secondary. The Bulldogs have a tremendous
44:21
secondary and they always do. But for some reason, in this
44:24
particular game, especially in the fourth quarter, they let
44:28
Chambliss do whatever he wanted. And and that was to me, the
44:31
difference of the game. And how about Lacey running the
44:35
ball the way he did? He was sensational.
44:37
Yeah. 2 rushing touchdowns, 98 yards.
44:40
And, and the wide receivers think about this, some of these
44:43
guys, they've never even heard Wallace.
44:45
The third I I don't watch a lot of old miss.
44:48
He had 156 yards and one touchdown.
44:51
What is it strimbling or is how do you pronounce Stribling?
44:55
He had he had Stribling had 7 receptions for 122 yards.
45:00
I mean these guys, I don't watch a lot of old miss footballs.
45:05
I don't know much about them, but I do know Lane Kiffin and I
45:08
know how great of an offensive mind he has been in the college
45:12
rankings and even in the NFLIII know what they can do.
45:16
But I'm very surprised that Golden, who I I didn't know
45:20
anything about this coach. I knew he was a defensive
45:22
coordinator. They're playing for this guy.
45:24
They're actually playing for a, a rookie coach that was handed
45:29
the keys at the end of the season because Lane Kiffin
45:32
decided I want to go and coach LSU.
45:34
And I think Lane Kiffin made the right decision.
45:37
I do. And I think it was wrong of Ole
45:39
Miss not letting Lane Kiffin coach this team all the way to
45:42
possibly a national championship.
45:44
Because if Lane Kiffin was coaching this team, I would I
45:48
would actually give Ole Miss or tell you that I would take Ole
45:51
Miss as the favorite to winning this whole thing after knocking
45:54
off Georgia. Yeah, I would have picked them.
45:56
It's funny, we were doing the picks initially.
45:58
I would have picked him to beat Georgia if Lane Kiffin was still
46:00
there. I wasn't sure how the offense
46:02
would fare without him. But this is an offensive scheme
46:04
that's still very good and they've kept a lot of these
46:06
receivers in very different positions to expose that Georgia
46:10
secondary. It's not like their past rush to
46:11
Georgia was that bad either. Chambliss made some really good
46:14
throws when he was being hit. He made some really good throws
46:17
in uncomfortable positions. That is something that sometimes
46:20
you just can't defend against if you're just making that good of
46:22
a throw. And he was a guy that was a
46:23
transfer from FCSC. If they played some small school
46:26
in Alabama, I think it was in even just two years ago before
46:29
he was rising into the ranks and then came back to the transfer
46:32
portal here and he's trusted enough to be able to do that
46:35
work. Lacey's been one of the best
46:36
running backs in college football the last two years and
46:38
he was able to get enough against that tough Georgia front
46:41
and Ole misses offensive line too, was something that really
46:44
just dominated the whole way. And you're right, the thing I
46:47
was worried about was more of Georgia's offense with.
46:48
Gunnar Stockton I also noticed when Frazier went down, this was
46:52
a different, different offense. As soon as Frazier got hurt and
46:56
he was pretty much he walked off and he was limping and he didn't
46:58
come back into the game. This was a completely different
47:01
offense. Georgia ran the ball through him
47:04
and they ran their offense through him.
47:05
And Branch, who's been their number one wide receiver all
47:08
season long, only had eight receptions for 67 yards and they
47:12
shut him down. I don't care if he had one
47:14
touchdown. They shot the offense of the
47:17
Georgia Bulldogs down. He was the only guy that broke
47:20
over 50 yards as far as the the wide receivers and tight ends.
47:24
Yeah, Nate Fraser is definitely that loss was definitely hard
47:27
for them to handle, especially in the second-half because he
47:30
they do you rotate other running backs in, but he's the one that
47:33
get gets the most efficient carries and it hurt them,
47:36
especially in the second-half trying to closeout the game
47:39
because they were playing with the lead most of the time.
47:41
And Georgia, they've been very comfortable over the years of
47:43
playing with the lead and just trusting their defense too.
47:45
And Stockton, well, he had a pretty good stat line was still
47:47
kind of inconsistent throwing the ball and like you said, the
47:50
receivers tight ends, not the greatest thing with Georgia, but
47:52
it still was enough for they didn't lose this game based on
47:54
offense. Trinidad Chambles just in
47:56
amazing, probably the best QB performance we've seen so.
47:58
Far a long, long time ago. I, I don't remember I, I said
48:01
it, Deshaun Watson was the last time I could remember a QB put
48:06
up these kind of numbers in a big game.
48:08
I mean, Deshaun Watson did it back-to-back years with Clemson
48:12
and Deshaun Watson is one of the best college quarterbacks I've
48:16
ever seen. And there was no playoff when
48:18
Deshaun Watson was playing. We seen him do it in the
48:21
national championship back-to-back years.
48:23
So this wasn't even a national championship.
48:26
And what Chambliss did was fantastic.
48:29
And, and the story behind it, I mean, there, there's so much to
48:33
talk about, which we don't have time to talk about is the back
48:36
end story with this kid and, and the trials and tribulations this
48:40
kid had to get to, to be a starting quarterback for AD one
48:44
school and and to do it on the biggest stage against one of the
48:49
greatest coaches the college rankings have seen in the last
48:54
15 years is pretty amazing. I mean, Kirby Smart is one of
48:58
the best defensive minds in in college football.
49:01
And when you do it against Kirby Smart's defense, it's pretty
49:04
incredible. No question that it was.
49:06

50:16
I loved it. He brought a lot of great stuff.
50:19
Yeah. So Thursday books for my good
50:21
friend Timmy Witherspoon is a two time heavyweight champion
50:25
boxing legend. He'll be coming on 8:45 PM
50:28
Eastern. Originally it was John Mitch,
50:30
but he can't make it. So my guy, Tim Witherspoon will
50:33
be joining. I want to, I want to tell
50:35
everybody, Tim Witherspoon I met when I was a kid.
50:38
I was, I was at the Poconos and I was sitting in the hot tub and
50:42
he was talking and he had a conversation with my father.
50:45
I'll never forget it. And he was like, oh, I was the
50:47
heavyweight champion of the world.
50:49
And I was like, who the hell are you?
50:50
He's like, I'm Tim Witherspoon. I was like, I never heard of
50:53
you. I've heard of Mike Dyson.
50:55
I never heard of you. And he laughed and and we
50:58
actually hung out with his family the whole time when we
51:01
were there. So I'm going to mention I think
51:03
he's going to Remember Me because I was the crazy white
51:05
boy. So that's what he called me.
51:07
It's a true story. Yeah.
51:11
I'll never forget. I got into a fight with my
51:12
father That, that, that time that we went to the Poconos and
51:16
I ran through the woods because trying to get away from my
51:19
family and I went. So the, the, the, if you ever
51:22
been to Poconos, it's all there's a lot of woods.
51:25
I ran through, took a detour and met them on the outside.
51:29
My father didn't know how I got through the woods and got to the
51:32
end of the detour faster than they did.
51:34
So that's a true story. I'll never forget that time And
51:37
I, I did meet Timmy at that time, so I, I don't know if
51:40
you'll remember it, but I, I did.
51:43
His sons were young. It was a pretty funny.
51:45
It was a good time. I, I love the Poconos.
51:47
So Tim Witherspoon, all right, first time on Jabba in the
51:51
mouth. All right.
51:53
Anyways, it's been a great one. First show of the year,
