- 1:30weird head this e week watching this episode of sports allegedly on this December thirtieth,
- 1:36Seawn Do is Right? Twenty twenty twenty three, last podcast of the
- 1:41twenty twenty three year. We've got a lot of talk about, a lot
- 1:45to talk about, lot to talk about. Obviously, we're gonna touch on
- 1:49I got a window with we will. We're going to touch on the playoffs,
- 1:52the Monday playoffs for the college football. We're gonna talk talk about the
- 1:57pending playoffs for the NFL. We're gonna have Craig Sampson after for the next
- 2:01week. So you haven't decided that Tuesday Wednesday. We'll talk about that at
- 2:07the end. But I think that the stoop dog. We have the dog
- 2:09from vacation, the squirrel and uh Uncle Lenny last one for the holiday.
- 2:17We're gonna figure out some snoop dog. Is he the cupid? Is there
- 2:22anything cupid like for him? Cupid Snoop do something? All right, Let's
- 2:28start out with oh su Texas A and E only and what in the Texas
- 2:34Bowl? How generic of a name? So I want Texas bl is in
- 2:39it? Would it? Would? It was that Houston? I believe Houston,
- 2:43Houston, I hope. So you know I didn't even pay attention to
- 2:46that. You went town with. I tell you, I want to start
- 2:49out. So many bulls a little disclaimed. They have a lot of balls
- 2:52of text is the portal has sucked at bowl for the balls. It sucked
- 2:55everything ship So I watched the least out of balls this year between between the
- 3:01portal and we could talk about that with the Georgia Florida State game, because
- 3:07you saw how how much that wrecked Florida State's team between the portal and the
- 3:15guys that are holding out because they're not in a playoff bowl. It has
- 3:22killed college football bowls. I agree, and I think what happens is is
- 3:28the the generic fan, the normal fan, the fan that doesn't have a
- 3:34rooting interest. I mean, everybody, you got a team, you're gonna
- 3:36watch that bowl amount. I be a kid watching every bowl every beginning to
- 3:43end, whether it was implications for a national title or not. You're taking
- 3:46off work early, you were trying to get home because they were starting.
- 3:50As you get closer, you know, to the to the New Year's Day
- 3:53game, bowls, I mean, everything was important, exciting, and now
- 3:55you watch it and you're like, I don't even know half the players and
- 3:59who's coming. They're all under classmen, majority of under class and okay,
- 4:02so we can do this with Texas A and M to start off with.
- 4:06I know what happened to other Bulls, but majority underclassmen. They lost their
- 4:12starting quarterback, they lost a lot of their starting defense. I think didn't
- 4:15They lose some guys on the offensive line as well. Well. What it
- 4:18ended up happened is their third string quarterback started the game forro Issue in the
- 4:23Texas Bowl and got hurt immediately. And so their fourth string quarterback that was
- 4:27Jalen so Bowman, where's moomen No, we're talking about A and m's quarterback.
- 4:32Oh oh hey, so Marshall reed it was actually the fourth string quarterback.
- 4:35Didn't do too bad twenty and thirty three and sixty three hundred and sixty
- 4:40one yards. He did have a pick. After the lost Texas, A
- 4:43and M finished seven and six on the year four and foreign Conference. But
- 4:50the story about this game I really thought was the ability of the OSU receivers
- 4:57to get so open. I mean, Presley and Owens had a hell the
- 5:00game Pressley said it was sixteen Brandon Presley had to pass for thirty four yards
- 5:05thirty sixteen receptions, one hundred and fifty two yards, and Owen's had I
- 5:09think it was one hundred and sixty four. It was really surprising to see
- 5:13those guys playing for Oklahoma State in that bowl. Well they're coming back,
- 5:16I think, no, God he is. And And but what I'm saying
- 5:20that. What I'm saying is those guys. For those guys to play for
- 5:24Presley, to play for for Gordon, to play Weather. I mean,
- 5:28that's why I picked them to win. I just thought, O ways,
- 5:30you had the more complete team coming back. A and M lost so many
- 5:31people to the portal. Like I said, was on the four string quarterback
- 5:34the corners. Corners had done that for year. What they do is they
- 5:39have these highly highly touted recruiting classes. The kids get their money and then
- 5:43they bolt. Well, coaching change didn't help that. So you had a
- 5:46coaching change before the coaching No, no, but I think the portal was
- 5:49very hard on them this year with all the the people that left because of
- 5:56the harder harder than it was harder on them. I think in in years
- 6:00past it helped them some. No, they lost guys to the portal,
- 6:03but still since the nil in the portal, they have guys come in,
- 6:09get the money and then leave. No. I know, but I'm saying
- 6:10it didn't didn't hurt them as bad in the previous years because they were able
- 6:14to grab some from the portal and bring them back in. This year,
- 6:16they haven't been able to do much at all. As far as well,
- 6:18I think that I think that's why they hired elcho u Oko. We was
- 6:24a duke. He coached a duke. But but isn't a and M guy.
- 6:29A former defensive coordinator, so he's been there. That was you know,
- 6:31it was kind of funny because jim he was Jimbo's guy. So it's
- 6:35not like they were doing you know, crazy great They had a defense.
- 6:40I thought they did, and I think it was I thought it was a
- 6:42good coaching higher. I don't think that was their number one choice, to
- 6:44be honest, but I think it was someone that ended up being. I
- 6:47don't know, I just don't think that was him. Mark Well Mark Steuke
- 6:50said, rumors has it that it was. I didn't know if his guys
- 6:55were going to play for him clean one, But I don't know what I'm
- 6:59saying. He had twenty seven Carrie hundred and eighteen yards. He's coming back,
- 7:02he announced the day or two before the bowl game. They are losing
- 7:06gun or Gundy. He did tell his dad that he was he was going
- 7:10to leave, and his dad did let him, did let him play.
- 7:15Yeah, it looks like right now in Indiana, state is offered and yeah,
- 7:21that was the question. Is he going to go to a D two?
- 7:24Is he gonna go to a lower D one? You know, will
- 7:28he end up with? Will he end up with a lower tier Power five?
- 7:34It sounds to me like I think they're going to be that Alan Bowman
- 7:39is going to try to get his eighteenth year of eligibility. I don't really
- 7:43remember what it was. I think it's his seventh. Is he try?
- 7:46Yeah, he's he's supposed to know something. Hold on, what's the guy
- 7:50in Miami, the tight end who's on his ninth year? I don't know,
- 7:55but it's pretty amazing. But I mean, hell, why don't let
- 7:58him keep playing? If they're going to go to every team they want to,
- 8:00so it doesn't matter. I just don't trust those guys. And I
- 8:03think what's gonna happen is NCAA is probably gonna, you know, probably move
- 8:07a little faster than what they did, because you know, that's been one
- 8:09of the drawback or one of the negative, many of the negatives, and
- 8:11one of them is, well, one thing we're not slowing. The one
- 8:15thing I can say that we're not seeing for the draft. Are kids leaving
- 8:18college early? Now? No? No, I think you see a lot
- 8:22of it the juniors. You don't have the juniors. But no, no,
- 8:26those guys will stay for the money. The money is there because the
- 8:30rookie contract has a cap on it in the NFL. Yeah, but I
- 8:33don't know, so I don't if they're making the n L, they're gonna
- 8:35stay there and then go. If you have a superstar, though they're not
- 8:39staying, You're now you're saying a lot more staying rather than going the draft.
- 8:43I get your point there, but I think the superstars are still going.
- 8:46I think the Marvin Harrison's and Caleb Williams, all those guys are going
- 8:50into the draft no matter what this. Then you've got these these people that
- 8:54are the second tier guys that could be second to fourth fifth round picks.
- 8:56They're gonna get drafted. But those are the guys that are They can switching
- 9:01teams, yeah, and they can make more money yeah, And they can't
- 9:03make more money than their guaranteed contract, you know, depending on that.
- 9:05So but hey, Oklahoma State and two passes over one hundred yards, I
- 9:11actually both passed two receivers, sorry, two receivers over one hundred and fifty
- 9:16yards. Correct, That was Owens and Pressly and but you know, the
- 9:18cornerbacks for age. It was a third guy over one hundred yard that the
- 9:22A and M cornerbacks. It wasn't pretty for them. I honestly, since
- 9:26it was as bad as Florida State's defense, I honestly thought that A and
- 9:31M did very well as far as keeping that within a single digit game.
- 9:35To be honest, I thought Oklahoma State would should have. Now you've got
- 9:39SEC caliber players, regardless of A and M, all over the place right
- 9:41their second third, fourth string, So a lot of those guys end up
- 9:46transferring to an SEC team, and a lot of those guys also I wanted
- 9:50to show off and play for those other teams if they're not staying. But
- 9:52I thought A and M did a pretty good job. I really thought it
- 9:54could have been fourteen to twenty point blowout, potentially more. It should have
- 10:00been A should have been more. You know, Bowman did throw two picks.
- 10:03Yeah, you know, it's it's it's one of them. It's one
- 10:07of those deals. I don't know. Turnovers they head, I mean,
- 10:09they didn't have near as many as the next game we're getting ready to talk
- 10:13about. But anyway, there Mike Gundy another ten win season, runner up
- 10:18Big Twelve champion. You know, if he doesn't win the Big Twelve next
- 10:22season, his he's never goetting know that ceiling coach, ceiling is never gonna
- 10:28break it. Well, you've gotta you gotta remember that you've got now you
- 10:33have b Y, U Cincinnati, Houston, and U c F com in
- 10:37this season. Well, next season you've got both Zonas, Colorado and Utah
- 10:45coming in and you've got that winningham defense that well, that's gonna get it.
- 10:50Of course, they lost their quarterback. I think we talked a little
- 10:52bit soon about the it's gonna also be the Arizona offense they're gonna combat with
- 10:58next year. I haven't pulled out. I haven't really studied their schedule because
- 11:01they haven't. I liked how they scheduled. I just didn't look at who
- 11:05all they're gonna have to play. As far as Oklahoma State goes next year,
- 11:07that's something we'll delve into in the off season. Thank you to our
- 11:16sponsor, Kelton Heating. There George is probably setting in his keeps both of
- 11:24us, but he had an event into the vent. It's really crazy.
- 11:30So all right, let's move on a good season though for issue. Yeah,
- 11:33congratulations Oklahoma State and a season to be proud of me. Oh you
- 11:37you made the Big twelve championship. I mean it's one of those deals that
- 11:43you couldn't know but not. I mean they're in the playoffs, so I
- 11:46think that that's it. I mean, overall it. I did pick him
- 11:48for the over but I didn't think ten wins. I figured eight or nine.
- 11:52I figured eight at most. Forgot because I think they were six and
- 11:56a half is what they had come into at the end of the year,
- 11:58which I thought was a little low. So Uh, Anyway, gratulations Oshue.
- 12:03Next year, we'll we'll preview that a little bit. We'll also when
- 12:05we find out about Alan Bowman if he gets his hardship waiver because he is
- 12:11wanting to come back. And then, like I said, those receivers right
- 12:13now at this time are coming back. So as we move on anything else
- 12:18on the games, we move into the uh, I mean, as we
- 12:22move into the game, get anything else I know is shoot No, I
- 12:26just I think it's I think it's good. The gun is gonna get away
- 12:30from his dad. He's gonna he's gonna go try to be his own man.
- 12:33Uh, he knows, at least with Alan Bowman trying to come back,
- 12:39that he's not going to be the starter, which he's he's trying to
- 12:43be the he's trying to be the man. He's trying to he's trying to
- 12:46be that guy. And Wrangell itams is Wrangel. I guess he's coming back.
- 12:52It's what it sounds like. I think the freshman. The freshman this
- 12:56year is what everyone's talking about, right or as I think, so Gunner's
- 13:00gonna go. Gunner is getting away from his dad. Uh, we're gonna
- 13:03see. Uh, We're gonna see Oklahoma State put out another great running back,
- 13:07you know, Thurman Thomas's and the and the Barry Sanders in the in
- 13:13the Chubbs, so Ollie Gardens is gonna run all over, especially if they
- 13:20can get no line built. And they improved as the season went on,
- 13:24they became and even offensively they improved, and I think making the quarterback consistent
- 13:31to Bowman rather than trying the other two because you watch that South Alabama game
- 13:35and you're like, what the hell is going on? Pretty good but not
- 13:41a team that Oklahoma State should have lost to, or at least that bad
- 13:46or at least, yeah, at least that bad because what they score seven
- 13:50points something like that. It was a bad It was a bad one.
- 13:52But yeah that that offensive line improved throughout the season, especially to hold off
- 13:56Ou in that swarming defense. Granted, Texas took him to the woodshed.
- 14:07So yeah, we're gonna move over to thirty three. Seven was the South
- 14:13Alabama clomba state game, right, so yeah, they only got one touchdown
- 14:18and they shouldn't have that. That should have been a closer game at least
- 14:22when do you look at the South Alabama Yeah it was no, it was
- 14:26just their final record. Well I think they finished it looks like yeah,
- 14:30yeah they should they should, Like I said, they shouldn't not have won
- 14:31that game. Uh, and that was That was also a game where you
- 14:35know, Gandhi had started the beginning of the season. Arnold isn't as good
- 14:41as Kenny thought. Shut up, Craig, we'll talk about Carl said,
- 14:46Gandhi and his Craig on playbook. And yeah it started out, but yeah
- 14:50it really did. The Gandhi at three quarterbacks, you couldn't decide who was
- 14:54about Casey Dunn. Everyone was like fire Casey Daddy said well, well,
- 15:00first get rid of the three quarterbacks. And I thought they were trying to
- 15:01run a lot of run pass options, a lot of r p O.
- 15:05And you get three different quarterbacks in the same line. They're like, you
- 15:07know, yeah, but not every quarterback knows your not every quarterback is good
- 15:11of you. And Ali Gordon did. Alan Bowman is a pocket pass and
- 15:15Alie Gordon didn't even start at the beginning of the year either, so he
- 15:18wasn't the featured back at the beginning. All right, let's go ahead and
- 15:22let's move on over to the situation as we're gonna call it, uh the
- 15:28alamobile Ala mobile. Kenny texted me and and we were both talking about the
- 15:35Alamobile and he said, he's still bitching about beating by. He's still bitching
- 15:41about the old line. And I told him, look, I saw a
- 15:43bunch of young kids out there who were trying because we lost a lot of
- 15:50we lost a lot of Austen's line. And I I also watched Jackson Arnold
- 15:56hold the ball too damn long, like he had time. He was he
- 16:02had he had proper blocking and he would step up and he would stand there
- 16:06for what felt like ten minutes before he made a decision at that point just
- 16:10run man. And he wasn't making that decision. He was he was trying
- 16:15to find somebody to throw to. And he wouldn't just just you know,
- 16:22be there. He just he stood. He stood. So you got holding
- 16:26calls. Uh, six six turnovers, hard to hard to overcome. It's
- 16:32the kid's first starting game, so bitch about him. But no, no,
- 16:41you're basical by the offensive line. But the offensive line protected him a
- 16:45lot, and he would just stand there too long and that's where the holding
- 16:48calls came from. Or you know him him ended up getting a sack and
- 16:52uh, you know, I know we're losing Tye Tybie Walker. He's going
- 16:56to He's going to Wisconsin. Now that's not a huge loss, but you
- 17:04know, Jackson Arnold's first game, and you would, you know, with
- 17:07an offensive line that's very young, with a very offensives. You say that,
- 17:11but I mean you had cade Matwire and Walter Rouse both played in their
- 17:15seniors. They played, But did they play with the other guys a lot?
- 17:18Yes, they played all year, so with the other guys they they
- 17:23played. Those two, those two are starters. I'm talking about your center,
- 17:29your everybody everybody on the line. Do you do you realize when ou
- 17:33was winning all those games and getting to the football Playoff or getting to the
- 17:37BCS, you realized that that line had been together for four years and those
- 17:45guys came in, the guys that backed them up, those guys had been
- 17:49with them at the same amount. So so when we had those really good
- 17:52offensive lines, Hey, listen, all I have said is I'm not saying
- 17:56and I bitched about a bead and bow and I have and I'm not saying
- 17:59he's a bad coach, but there is a concerning factor when you look at
- 18:02that line and the amount of depth that they had for that game, and
- 18:06the amount of depth they had all year, and the amount of rushing blocking,
- 18:11you know, run blocking that they did not excel in. I've never
- 18:15bitched about their pass blocking this year because I thought they've done that well.
- 18:18But there is groups that do one better than the other, and this one
- 18:21definitely did. They did not run block well at all. Well, you
- 18:22have a saw check it on thirty four yards running, but that exactly had
- 18:26fifteen carries, okay, so as long as sixty two, So you take
- 18:30that out and you've got fourteen for what about sixty yards seventy yards? So
- 18:36then that average goes way down. So it does. So I'm just saying,
- 18:40and we'll get to that. My gripes about that, But I'm not
- 18:44talking about that. I mean, everyone's like, oh, beaten Ball is
- 18:45a great developer, all these people in NFL. Sure, But the old
- 18:51line coaches at Georgia, the old line coaches at Alabama, the old line
- 18:53coaches at the other blue blood like Oklahoma is you know, they all have
- 18:59you forget about it. Also, we need to find a d beat coach.
- 19:02We need to fund a defensive back coach that could coach. Uh oh,
- 19:10I that's that's our biggest give up is just that the weird we're just
- 19:15giving up weird long plays on passing. We give up three hundred and forty
- 19:19five yards passing well venables. Defense is predicated on you get to the quarterback
- 19:23fast. They couldn't get to the quarterback. They did at times, and
- 19:26I thought, and I thought that was one of the stronger positions groups that
- 19:30played was a defensive line. They heavily adjusted after the first quarter and they
- 19:34were actually getting more overcome turnovers. No, no, no, but unless
- 19:41unless you're the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're not even getting any of the turnover talk.
- 19:45We're just talking about I'm saying, it's hard to overcome six turnover unless
- 19:48you're the Jacksonville Jaguars. And then it's you know, you're just doing it
- 19:52against you're doing it against the I can't remember it was five turnovers that they
- 20:00beat the Chargers last season. No, I just I was I was disappointed,
- 20:03your favorite coach. I've bitched about the offensive line simply because of depth,
- 20:07not because of anything that they've done individually. I just thought that the
- 20:11depth wasn't there like I would have hoped. Now they're bringing in four or
- 20:15five guys this year, and then of course you're gonna have some portal guys,
- 20:18but they're gonna have to mesh fast because you do talk about all these
- 20:21young guys. You've got two seniors leaving off the line, and then I
- 20:23think there was another one. So and then you got Green who was starting
- 20:26guard. He went to the other Missouri, So you're essentially gonna have one
- 20:30guy coming back. Bird could have been, but he's in the portal.
- 20:33So those are the concerns that I have is why is why are people leaving.
- 20:37Why are we not having the depth? And Green said in IL,
- 20:41Well, I'm sure it wasn't. Of course it was Missouri, so he
- 20:44was from there, so that's closer to home. And I'm a lot of
- 20:47we we we've lost a lot of guys that just said in IL and other
- 20:49schools have too. Other schools have lost have lost people. But my point
- 20:53is we're going to the SEC and you these big time programs have to have
- 20:57the depth on those lines. Does it look like the defensive line depp is
- 21:00getting there. Yes, I think it is getting better and better, but
- 21:03the offensive line is going to be the second most important in that. Now
- 21:07you've got a freshman quarterback that played his first game and throw the ball forty
- 21:11five times. I thought that was a little odd because I would have thought
- 21:15if you guys got running backs that, like you said, Sawchuk had over
- 21:18one hundred yards even though we had the one long one, they should have
- 21:22ran the ball a little bit more. Now, did he throw three picks?
- 21:25Yes, two of them were pretty bad. One of them was a
- 21:26hell of a play by the defender. But actually, what I think you
- 21:30said something about him that you said he held onto the ball too long,
- 21:33I thought, I thought that Jackson Arnold his play was as far as other
- 21:38people said, that is as good as Kenny thought. Arnold is going to
- 21:41be better than I thought. He stayed in the hold on, he stayed
- 21:45in the pocket and maybe at times too long, but he didn't have happy
- 21:49feet, He wasn't afraid to take the sack. He ran the ball well.
- 21:52Most of his passes looked pretty good as far. I mean, he
- 21:56had the one long one yeah no, no, no no, And I'm
- 21:59saying he's a young kid, was first in. But I thought that a
- 22:02lot of people are bitching about him. Pointed it out. That was I
- 22:04thought. I thought. I thought forks, I thought Feroks fumbles were just
- 22:10so horribly timed that that could have been fourteen points. And I know one
- 22:15of them was a fourteen point swing. The second fumble turned into it a
- 22:19run back back for Arizona. You lose, you go fourteen points, but
- 22:23swing right there could have been thirty one thirty. I was watching when I
- 22:27saw that Gavin Freeman and around, I was like, oh, with crafton
- 22:33and we didn't have a lot of Jets sweeps though, so I was thankful
- 22:37that was That was kind of more an end around though. But I mean
- 22:38it got twelve yards. But no, yeah, but but but is lost
- 22:44and he's leaving. Is he going to Okay? Yeah, we need to
- 22:49work on hands team with him. No, I thought that. No,
- 22:52it wasn't that. I mean he had two bad fumbles. He played pretty
- 22:55well. I mean, up, we need to work on hands. Well
- 22:56one of them was punched out and the other one I think was it.
- 22:59Well that do you remember you remember the movie the program? Yeah, you
- 23:03lose a fumble and Carriet football and anybody sees you on campus, they get
- 23:07that football your asses. And I think that was the That was the concern
- 23:11is because everything was so ill timed, and we we we came into the
- 23:15game. We knew Arizona. And I'm gonna say anything about about jet Fish,
- 23:18Jed Fish, and he kept most of that team, like I don't
- 23:21know if they've got anybody leaving that team. And Jed Fish has built a
- 23:23program, and I congratulate. I'm gonna be rooting for Arizona when they come
- 23:29into the Big twelve. Sorry, Oklahoma State, you still garbage. I
- 23:33am going to be written for Arizona when they come in. Arizona in Utah
- 23:37actually because both really good programs. And I know that no Fafita he had
- 23:48he had replaced, his replacement was still there. Yes, correct, And
- 23:51I think he's transferring though the replacement. Yeah, yeah, well, and
- 23:55and that. But he was coaching him on the side, he gave him,
- 23:57he was giving him speeches. They lost to lost to Mississippi State and
- 24:02overtime, lost to Washington just by seven, and lost to I think it
- 24:07was No it was where was it? Where was their third loss USC in
- 24:15overtime? Yes, that's what it was. I couldn't find that. So
- 24:21No, but we talked about how the offense was going to be good.
- 24:22And I've actually thought at seanfe pull up the defensive stats. I thought,
- 24:26well, a little bit on freem Or we had we had five sacks,
- 24:30eleven pressures that pull up. But one thing about what this is Arnold.
- 24:34I wanted to finish on talking about Arnold before we move on to something.
- 24:37I want to finish on Arnold. No, I want to finish when I
- 24:38was talking about him, is that I thought the speed of the game hurt
- 24:42him the most, and that no, not necessarily. That it's like when
- 24:45you throw the ball and you're holding it and then you thought those safeties are
- 24:48closer than you think, Well they don't. They move faster in college than
- 24:52the high school. So that's everything that he done is going to be.
- 24:56Decision making needs to be faster. Like I said, got holding penalties because
- 25:00he wasn't quick enough to release the ball or he didn't just take off running.
- 25:06Correct You know you have and this is why they teach you in the
- 25:11NFL. This is what actually made Tom Brady. I hate Tom Brady.
- 25:17You're getting you're getting ready to compliment tom Brady. Go ahead, I'm him.
- 25:22I hate him, but hates such a strong word. You don't.
- 25:26No, it's not kenny, it's not uh two seconds or three seconds.
- 25:32If the ball's not out of your hand, you've already failed or you're running.
- 25:37Yeah, NFL, especially college, you could probably get you way faster
- 25:41safeties in the corners, linebackers, and college you have a little more you
- 25:47do you do in college. But uh, but that's what Jackson learned in
- 25:52this game, and hopefully he brings that over the next season and hopefully his
- 25:56first game that it really was something else to think about for all the haters
- 26:00out there that you also have to yeah, also have to realize that the
- 26:07offense that they were running was really not the Trail and Finley's offense. They
- 26:10were trying to kind of gleam still off of levees. It was too quick.
- 26:14They wasn't going to change everything up now they're gonna They didn't want to.
- 26:17They didn't want to change an you know, like I said, I
- 26:18thought. But the one thing that that bothered me was I thought forty five
- 26:22passes was a little heavy for a freshman quarterback. I thought they should have
- 26:25ran the ball more. The speed he's going to get up. But I
- 26:27thought the pocket presence was was really good for him. And I know you
- 26:30say he held onto the ball, but he wasn't happy feet And that's what
- 26:33I wanted to see it. No, no, no, no, no,
- 26:36no, no, not happy. I didn't want him to win here,
- 26:38you know, or to be skilled. He had very good poise when
- 26:41when the pocket broke down, he stepped forward. And but that's what I'm
- 26:48saying, you know, it's still a little too low to hold the ball
- 26:49three steps forward. All in all, six turnovers, you're right not going
- 26:53to win the game. And it was again some of them are so untimely.
- 26:57It was just terrific. You sat there watch the game. I mean,
- 27:00our first quarter was the worst I've seen you play all year. We
- 27:04were it was well, we got it back to one point lead at halftime,
- 27:11That's what I'm saying. Second quarter looked well, third wasn't was okay,
- 27:15and then we give up seventeen points. Not being able to do anything
- 27:18in the fourth quarter killed us. And that was the two. It was
- 27:22just over and over. Just but hey McMillan, number four, the wide
- 27:27receiver, he was a real deal. He played with Fafida and uh so
- 27:32those guys have a bright future, both young and but you know, graduates
- 27:37in Arizona. One thing on the offense that I do want to mention that,
- 27:40uh two things. Actually, Nick Anderson is a real deal. That
- 27:42guy is exceptional. Andre and real deal Anthony. Well it's not generational yet
- 27:52that's coming. Is this your real real deal is the stamp towards generational and
- 28:00uh but uh true, oh you guy that you know. We must we
- 28:04must say goodbye to Drake Stoops as far as a player, he's done exhausted
- 28:11his eligibility, so he'll be going to the draft. Excuse you know,
- 28:15what very good slot back. Oh he'll get you know, reminds me of
- 28:18he'll get drafted. Fucking fucking rape eyes at Texas A and m no,
- 28:27no, no, no, played for he did play for uh uh uh
- 28:33say Pittsburgh. It's not Pittsburgh played for New England. Wes Welker. Oh,
- 28:37Wes Welker. Yeah, you know I saw Wes Welker is creepy out.
- 28:41I don't know if you've ever looked at Wes Ruker looks like no,
- 28:45he's staring in your window at night. Oh you got own Oklahoma guy?
- 28:48Well yeah, but he went to Texas. In Texas and he where is
- 28:52he coaching at? He is an assistant? Is he really? He's an
- 28:56offensive coach somewhere? I thought, And I'm gonna gets going to be the
- 29:00Patriots, the Rams or the Broncos, and I don't know which one.
- 29:03Look at those beady eyes, those beady eyes. That is a guy that
- 29:07stares in your window. Actually told me that what's up? You notice?
- 29:14Well I gotta find it because no, no, hold up, hold up,
- 29:19I just he was he was Oakham City boy. Uh. He is
- 29:26now the longest receiving today Miami Dolphins. That's right, the Dolphins. The
- 29:33Dolphins. Can you think, oh, you can get him to bring him
- 29:37over. He's some guys just stay in the NFL. And I don't blame
- 29:41him. I do not blame them at all. Look at those anything else.
- 29:45I know you. I mean, we're moving, I've got I've got
- 29:48high hopes. I'm waiting for the spring game. Spring ball is right around
- 29:52the corner. We've got a good grip of recruits coming in a defensive lineman,
- 29:57obviously Stone, I mean, he's just the one. Off the top
- 30:00of my head. I've looked at those kids' names so light. It's just
- 30:03gonna be a lot of fun to see them progress and get better as they
- 30:07move into the SEC. And hey, there's no doubt, and we've already
- 30:11said that, I've already said this that it's going to be a tough go
- 30:15in the first year of the SEC because the strength schedule is tough. I
- 30:18mean, right now they're setting that the third hardest SEC schedule coming in Texas,
- 30:25isn't They're probably about twelve thirteen ish. They're down on the SEC,
- 30:30so they've got a much easier schedule. But we've got some winnable games.
- 30:33It's gonna be interesting to see how well. And of course we're gonna have
- 30:36a lot more of you tah coaches. We're gonna have a lot of the
- 30:40sec correct, We're gonna have a lot more the speaking of that, I'll
- 30:45speak on that coaching at the end of the rumor that has kind of been
- 30:48floating around about the Michigan jobs, So we'll talk. We'll talk about that
- 30:51when we move on to let me move on the final four. What he
- 30:55says, six and seven last year, ten and three this year, I'm
- 30:57not. I'm gonna show your coat that It's been a disappointing season on some
- 31:02fronts. Obviously losing no issue, sour taste in the Bowl, but hey,
- 31:07maybe that helps you go into the off season into Kansas. We should
- 31:11have never lunch, Oh, I know, but Kansas played really well.
- 31:14I didn't think. I still say there was a conspiracy of Kansas and it
- 31:18dick nuts. Your Mark said, call the game for the rain delay as
- 31:23ou was getting hot. Huh, rain delay, and everybody's going, there's
- 31:27no we were looking on our phones. There was no lightning in the area.
- 31:32They said there was lightning in the area. That's why they called it
- 31:34and uh, you know rain delay for an hour. It seemed like an
- 31:41hour. Yeah, well you were I was at a house party. It's
- 31:45not I ended up at a house party and you were, Oh really,
- 31:51which ariad? I was maybe fourth period? Oh okay, Well I'll show
- 31:59everybody. Don't worry. That picture is coming for the end of the football
- 32:01season. No, the wetness didn't help us, obviously, Danny. Danny
- 32:10went out that game. But you know, one thing, I want to
- 32:13leave this on him because I want everyone to think about this, because Dan.
- 32:17I want everyone to think about this though, is I think, gentlemen,
- 32:21I think that Gabriel played this game, we probably would have won.
- 32:25But I think absolutely the right move was. This game is going to be
- 32:30a springboard for his season. And I've said it others. I never said
- 32:35it, but uh, he'll be at the high He'll be at the Heisman
- 32:37ceremony in two years. Did you watch this game? Did you watch the
- 32:42full game? Yes? Yes? Did you know somebody else pointed I actually
- 32:46saw well, I saw multiple other people point this up. The commentary,
- 32:52Uh, there's already chucking bottles and saying we're done by then. Thanks,
- 33:00say what The commentary was the commentary not a bit biased? You know,
- 33:07I didn't listen to a lot of that. I did I listened to I
- 33:09didn't. And now they talked about they talked about uh, the quarterback for
- 33:15Arizona and and his uh one of his receivers. They were high school guys.
- 33:22They were very biased Arizona. They were well hugely. They well they
- 33:28got the momentum early. And I think that And is there a script?
- 33:31Is there a script? He says, Okay, well, we'll hold up.
- 33:34They want to I want to say it was an f you to you.
- 33:38I don't know. I mean, I want to say your monk was
- 33:42in there, like give I got your I hate your monk. Great guy
- 33:46for the Big twelve. He's great for the Big twelve. We're glad to
- 33:50be gone though. Yeah, very good. All right, Uh, let's
- 33:53go to I want to talk about talk about a little bit today. Uh
- 33:59Oh, Now, I didn't. I didn't believe that Florida State was going
- 34:07to win this game, but nobody did. I also didn't believe that Florida
- 34:13State was going to lose sixty three to three. I think this it was.
- 34:17It ended up being that Florida State got murdered by this playoff n I
- 34:27L and transfer portal, Like the majority of their team is gone. Now.
- 34:35I know they got guys coming in, but a majority of their guys,
- 34:39but yeah, there was a lot that was going either to the draft
- 34:42or the portal. I think Florida State went, well, they're losing Rodenbacher
- 34:45and they're losing I think when it came down to it, though, you
- 34:47know, all it was was essentially, hey, you know, get Georgia
- 34:52retaining almost all their guys. It's not going to be. It's not going
- 34:54to be. Like we started this episode right here was talking about the Bowl
- 34:59games that no one is watching. I haven't seen that sent My need to
- 35:02look up is look at some of the Bowl as far as people watching,
- 35:07what is I'm missing the word the viewership of these Bulls to see if they've
- 35:10how much they go. I think it was last Saturday that I wanted to
- 35:15see the viewership of the Bulls versus NFL because the NFL games that happened last
- 35:22Saturday. I wanted to see what the what the difference was. I meant,
- 35:27I'm meant to bring that up, and I mean there's no comparison.
- 35:30Uh and then we have old mess beat and Penn State because who did not
- 35:34see that happening? Penn State? Really you got James Franklin x Vandy guy
- 35:40never wins a big game, never wins a big game, but he will
- 35:45keep your team in it. He will have a ten win season, but
- 35:51that's only because he doesn't have to play Michigan or Ohio State. Well,
- 35:54Sarkisian had that Montreal a little bit. Well, what big game is he
- 36:00won? Huh oh, but it's funny he's got to play his next team.
- 36:06Well no, but I'm saying, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 36:08He's never won ten games. He's never won ten games except this year.
- 36:14I believe this is his first year he won ten games as a head coach.
- 36:16And so is this going to be the year that he gets that kind
- 36:20of stigma off him because he hasn't won a big game. I mean,
- 36:22he's had some good season. Does he break his ceiling? Does he break
- 36:25his his cherry? He could. We'll talk about that as we get closer.
- 36:30But you know, I thought Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss eleven and two,
- 36:31they're gonna be a tough out. We play them next year. The
- 36:35game closer than I thought. They're nailing the portal too. I mean those
- 36:38they're bringing some studs up as they have in the past. Who was given
- 36:43Mississippi all this damn money? And then well and then well, I think
- 36:45it's more about the offense, and I think it's more about the SEC and
- 36:49I think they're being really choosy. And Lane's a good salesman for that,
- 36:53for that program. So but you can never drust the quarterback that Lane gets.
- 36:58That is one of the big even want to talk about. I thought
- 37:01the the Johnson kid from Kansas State looked good. Yeah, Avery Johnson,
- 37:07Avery Johnson thought he solid. Thought he looked good. Will like it was
- 37:13like Will Thompson was never there, Howard, what did you say that?
- 37:19You said it whatever? You listened to Boston College, Boston College, like,
- 37:27hey, here's a welcome to welcome to the a c C. Oh
- 37:30another thing, Florida State doing everything they can to get out of the a
- 37:35c C. Well, and and well we'll talk let's talk a little bit
- 37:37about towards as we finish it, as far as that changes, but as
- 37:40far as the game, go ahead, yeah, go ahead. See I
- 37:46want to take Missouri. I thought Missouri was the better team. I believe
- 37:51that Missouri was the better team. They are, No, they just want
- 37:55a game. That didn't mean you're better if you just win a game.
- 38:00They had a better quarterback. Does it mean that you're better if you win
- 38:05the game and it doesn't. Doesn't mean you're a better team just because you
- 38:08win. You know, I think upsets happened. I mean you act like
- 38:12if you to put, I think the Bears are still batter If you put
- 38:15the teams play each other ten times and you've got a badass team. They
- 38:19win nine, sometimes you're gonna lose one. I don't mean they were the
- 38:22better team. You taught me out in Missouri, and I screwed myself right
- 38:25in my own gentleman area. It's three nothing the whole game until the end,
- 38:30and I thought was the thing that that's going to know, the thing
- 38:35that's going to get more. But can you find Ryan Day? Have they
- 38:38won the national championship with Ryan Day? Refresh my memory? I don't think
- 38:42they have, But don't make me look foolish. No, but they surely
- 38:45hadn't. Okay, I don't know. I want to talk about that because
- 38:49I thought that the that Ryan d is starting to get that moniker of not
- 38:53winning the big game either. No, no, no, he's owing three
- 38:57against Michigan now, I think he was like one or two and a big
- 39:01schedule against the against the SEC, he did not have a good record against
- 39:10them, and that looked bad. So he's got Grecian formula all up in
- 39:15his beard and hair, which I think you need to get because that would
- 39:17help you. I'm not a bit I thought it was huge after the Ryan
- 39:23Day loss. You hold love you because he was talking. You know what,
- 39:29I don't care. I've liked Lou Halton. I've hated Lou Halt at
- 39:32times, but I love Lou Halt. The funny thing that overall mentioned about
- 39:36Ryan Day, I mean just not being the I mean just not being the
- 39:38coat. It was pretty funny. I mean to go down and see what
- 39:44his he's okay, so he is. What's his record right there? He's
- 39:47fifty six and eight, so that's pretty impressive. You know Lincoln Riley,
- 39:52you know brit Vnables in two years has as many losses as Lincoln Rally has.
- 39:55Well, you have to remember that Lincoln Riley took I'm not saying that
- 40:00I'm not saying that he took Alex great. But I'm just saying I'm just
- 40:04saying, so that helped him, that did help. I'm just saying that
- 40:07that was But I don't know. He's one and three in the college football
- 40:10playoffs Big Ten East and Big Yeah he has Uh, he's only won the
- 40:15Big Ten and that's it. Okay, two Big Ten, I thought,
- 40:21but I wanted to make two Big Ten. Yeah, it was Urban Meyer
- 40:22that he's made the championship game. He has made the championship. Now who
- 40:27did they lose to? Was that the Clemson days? Oh? God,
- 40:30they got beat right there right there, lost college football playoff national? Who
- 40:40was that too? So they made it in twenty twenty one? Yeah?
- 40:46Really that was I think was Oh it was Alabama. Okay, it got
- 40:53killed twenty twenty that's where it was. Okay, got killed and good record.
- 41:01But the fans are getting restless there too. Now that's spoiled fans hugely,
- 41:06no doubt, kind of like some I'm sure. Well three straight losses,
- 41:08okay, three straight losses. Oh, here it is, face number
- 41:12one Alabam Uh faced number two Clemson in the they defeated Clemson. Okay,
- 41:17that was the win. They beat Clemson to get to that championship against Alabama,
- 41:22lost almost thirty. When you lose three games as an Ohio State alum,
- 41:28Ohio State fan, you are rabid as much as oh you sure Michigan?
- 41:34Would you lose three to Michigan? Yeah? Sorry? Remember rich Rodriguez,
- 41:38Remember Rich Rod great CoA but you know lost, could not beat Ohio
- 41:45State. Get him out of there when you lose, get him out of
- 41:49there. Uh, look at all the Texan coaches that could not beat Oklahoma
- 41:53and got out well after that Nebraska Texas, he got out and that's okay
- 42:01years, you know, but not for Oklahoma. All right? But yeah,
- 42:05I mean for losing the gene that's hard Ryan, day of the day.
- 42:08But you had that, But you had McCord transferring, furring, McCord
- 42:14transferring, and then and then h Harrison junior set up was sure, and
- 42:19then they had some other one side I would say, I would say Harrison
- 42:22Junior setting up was actually the bigger No, it was it their quarterback.
- 42:25If you watched that game, the quarterback was just not any good. And
- 42:30then they because we had this argument, who was the other kid was?
- 42:35Who was the other kid that got hurt. H their actual starting quarterback for
- 42:38that game got hurt. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Brown
- 42:43Brown, Brown is who it was. Yes, yes, they come in
- 42:47six to seventeen. Now that's a freshman. But look at the difference between
- 42:52that true freshman and then our true fresh What I'm saying is had Harrison Smith
- 42:59junior, who iss Marvin Harrison, who is an elite wide receiver. I
- 43:04don't think he has a third name? Who is an elite receiver? Hey,
- 43:12he said out of the game. Would that have been a different game?
- 43:14Would that have been a different game for the secondary of Missouri? It
- 43:21you got a guy, You've got no doubt it would have helped. I
- 43:24don't think it would have finished if client if the kid that came in I
- 43:29already missed. I forgot his name. I just I don't think he just
- 43:31didn't well he was. He just didn't have a lot of experience, a
- 43:35lot of no practice. He wasn't even supposed to play. Yeah, you
- 43:37see all that stuff. If Missouri's out there, like they won the national
- 43:42championship, Missouri all their team they remember that every year that Missouri was in
- 43:47the Big Eight, they wanted to be in the Big ten, and they
- 43:51never got the invitation. They wanted that Nebraska invitation. They played a Big
- 43:55ten team every season to give him, they never got it. Eli drink
- 44:01Wentz, He's actually did pretty good and I've told you and even it was
- 44:05on the hot seat two years ago and has kind of built that team back.
- 44:07And they got the number one defensive Look at Neil Brown, what Neil
- 44:12Brown's done to West Virginia. But Misour got the number one defensive lineman.
- 44:15The only reason I know that's because it came down to us in Oklahoma.
- 44:17Money I think sealed that deal, not necessarily made it. But he's from
- 44:21Missouri and they've got some good players that are coming in. So that's gonna
- 44:24be a fun game next year towards the end of the year. I think
- 44:27it's a late November game in Columbia for OU. It's not gonna be any
- 44:30push over there. So anyway, all right, update on the Lions Cowboys
- 44:34game tonight ten to seven right now in uh four minutes left in the third
- 44:39looks like, Oh, congratulations to the man. Jimmy Johnson, former OSU
- 44:45coach, former Miami coach, former Dallas Cowboys coach finally got his induction into
- 44:51the Ring of Honor years exactly. So congratulations Jimmy, thank you Jerry for
- 44:57not being Todam stubborn and letting this guy in. Don't be ridiculous. Come
- 45:00on now, I mean, it's it's about time and old guys. It's
- 45:05it's all guys. And you know, remember they were college teammates, him
- 45:09and Barry Switzer. They all boys, yeah, Arkansas boys, and they
- 45:17finally hashed it out. All right, let's preview. Let's start out with
- 45:21the final Fours coming up Tuesday or I'm sorry, Monday, January. First
- 45:24first game is Alabama Michigan. I think, Sean, we've talked a little
- 45:30bit about these games. Okay, we've talked a little bit about these games
- 45:37as far as what we think the the biggest I should have pulled that up
- 45:42though, actually hold on, just well, yours hoping did it? We're
- 45:54singing right now? There we go. Okay, sorry about the delay there.
- 46:01I didn't have my shit together as usual. Okay, Michigan Alabama,
- 46:07Michigan. I want to talk a few things about as far as Michigan Alabama,
- 46:09as far as just some of the ranking statistics that those guys have as
- 46:15far as when you factor in what makes this game I think better than the
- 46:19second. And even though I think the second game is going to be more
- 46:21entertaining, You've got Michigan all year long, undefeated. Michigan they are looking
- 46:28at You're talking about one of the best defenses that this in college football.
- 46:31Their red zone defense was third the nation, where Alabama's was fifty. Rush
- 46:37defense, which is important when you talk about running the ball, because my
- 46:39Alabama is gonna want to do that. Actually, both teams are going to
- 46:43do that. Korum with Michigan is in. So Michigan was fifth in the
- 46:46nation in Alabama dropped a little bit this year to twenty ninth, So the
- 46:50average per yards were about thirty I don't know, almost close to forty points
- 46:55or from sign points forty yards. So when you talk about that difference,
- 47:00is that going to make a difference or do you resort back in a little
- 47:02bit of what I think? And that's why I've got Alabama pick. If
- 47:05you look at the offenses in the Big Ten, I just don't think there's
- 47:07many good there's that many good offenses. I think everyone gives a lot of
- 47:10credit to the defenses of the Big Ten. But in reality, you look
- 47:15at Penn State, who struggles on offense. Obviously, Ohio State struggled this
- 47:19year. McCord is starting quarterback. Just like we talked about leaving. They
- 47:21only got three points off of Missouri. So the offense is in the Big
- 47:24Ten. Wisconsin had a down year, Minnesota those got I always one of
- 47:30the worst offensives is scoring offenses, but you know, statistically one of the
- 47:36best defenses. I think a lot of this comes down to the Big Ten's
- 47:38offenses just aren't that great. That's why Michigan excels because their offense actually is
- 47:44pretty good. You've got JJ McCartney quarterback and you've got Blake korm At running
- 47:47back. So's that's gonna be the key for Alabama. And we've talked about
- 47:52that, Sean. As far as that game, how you're gonna watch this
- 47:57game? And because I always start watching the game not just for you know,
- 48:00the entertainment purposes. It's like I want to watch two one side here
- 48:05and one side here, who wins this battle? Because and then you flip
- 48:07it over and you say, okay, now you flip it to the other
- 48:09side. What matters? I mean, the important thing is in This game
- 48:13is going to be the front line, the defensive line for Alabama against UH
- 48:17Michigan. And then you turn around and what can Corum do uh for the
- 48:23running game? And what McCartney can do without getting sacked? Can play?
- 48:28Can he make plays with his arm? Let's not let's not discount on Alabama's
- 48:31offense. I'm not That's what I'm saying. And then vice versa. The
- 48:35battle is going to be all about Milroe. What can he do? He
- 48:38needs to? You know, he started out slow in the season, and
- 48:44hold on, I found out that Bill O'Brien told him that he was not
- 48:45going to be a college quarterback. Well he said he yeah, I saw
- 48:51that too, And I don't know, I mean, how did he did
- 48:52he word it to say, hey, you could have do better? Here?
- 48:54You have a He said, you're not going to be a collegiate quarterback.
- 49:00Literally his words were, you are? He's done so great? He
- 49:04had? Well, well, look who's gone, That's what I'm saying.
- 49:07Who's Look who's gone? And look who's still? Look who developed throughout the
- 49:09season? No, that's exactly right. And and you talk about when Texas
- 49:14pretty much manhandled Alabama the second game of the year. You think if you
- 49:19put those two teams together, which could be possible after this playoff, is
- 49:24that going to be a is that going to be a different outcome? You
- 49:28know, because Milroe does look better as the years Milrose development. You also
- 49:34have to remember that that Steel the defensive coordinator, that's his first year there,
- 49:37so that's taking them a little while. They're more fun and I like
- 49:40the defense actually better. They seem to be. Yes, he's defensive,
- 49:45so he's been helping that alone. I mean, Kevin Steele is an old
- 49:50school defensive coordinator who's come back and and and which I thought was an odd
- 49:55hire, but I also understand it because you're gonna get a guy that that
- 50:01looks he plays that old school stuff like Saban liked and and I think that
- 50:06this game is what Bob Stoops played and that's what I missing. So Blake,
- 50:10you know, but McCartney seventy four percent of his pass has completed,
- 50:14nineteen touchdowns for interceptions. He has not made a lot of mistakes. And
- 50:19then you you turn around and you look at Blake. Cormy's got over one
- 50:22thousand yards rushing, right, So it's it's it's gonna be What I really
- 50:27think comes down to is the rush defenses, who excels they are on the
- 50:30lines, and then the quarterback play didn't get injured early in the season game.
- 50:35I don't. I don't really. Everybody seems for the most part,
- 50:39unless I've missed something major that everyone seems to be pretty healthy. Right.
- 50:45What's your prediction, uh, for the Alabama Michigan I don't want to because
- 50:50everything I've predicted has been wrong. Uh, it's gonna be a blow up.
- 50:58I don't want to say it's gonna be a tight dame. You know
- 51:00it's gonna be a twenty four to seventeen probably Alabama. Let's go ahead,
- 51:07and let's say that Michigan defense holds holds, but you know Alabama's is stronger
- 51:13generally. It starts what was the overender on that show? Forty four and
- 51:15a half? Is that's the over ender. That's what they're showing it.
- 51:17Okay, so I think it hits the over by a smidge. I'm gonna
- 51:23go twenty eight, twenty four, it goes forty five, ye, forty,
- 51:29that ends up being fifty a little over fifty, so it could be
- 51:31twenty seven. Yeah, let's do that. I'm gonna go twenty seven,
- 51:37twenty three, twenty seven to twenty three. Now, now here's the fun
- 51:39thing. The Texas Washington game over under is sixty three and a half,
- 51:44which is gonna be a shootout. Have anything else on that on this Alabama
- 51:47game? No? No, I know that. Are you? Just are
- 51:52you? Why are you? I mean we've all been kind of anti Michigan.
- 51:55I mean they're favored right now in this game. Do you think that
- 52:00the rumors John Harball track record? Jim he means Jim Harball's track record.
- 52:06Yes, sorry, the fucker played for the best and that's funny because he
- 52:08could beat Ohio State but he can't win a bowl game. Yeah, yeah,
- 52:12Jack, Yes, it's Jim Harball's track record. Do you think his
- 52:15the rumors of him going to the NFL are going to affect any of them?
- 52:20It is possible because he has not signed that Michigan contract. Oh,
- 52:23he's waiting. That says that you cannot talk to any NFL team through twenty
- 52:30twenty five or something like that. No, you have twenty twenty four next
- 52:35year, you can't after the next you got one year you can't talk to
- 52:38Yeah, so it's just one year off, and I'm thinking, is Michigan
- 52:42that desperate? I mean, Michigan seems to be the one desperate. Yeah,
- 52:45you're just throwing it out there. Please, there's sign they're they're the
- 52:49uh, they're the partner in the relationship that that wants that two hundred dollars
- 52:53iPhone. And you know they're gonna do everything they can, They everything they
- 52:59can to get that new phone from the ex partner, but they don't want
- 53:02that partner to go over that one. Yeah, it's it's it's it's Jim
- 53:12Harball's track record. And you know, you look at him in big game.
- 53:15Look at him in that Super Bowl. Every chance to beat his brother.
- 53:21Now I get it, you were going against Ed Reid and ray Lewis,
- 53:22but guess what, you could have won that game. The it just
- 53:30seems he just can't. But you know the thing about is is it's just
- 53:36Alabama. Alabama that's been pretty quiet on this front. You know what.
- 53:42There's a lot of chatter on this. Yeah, but Washington's upset by the
- 53:46disrespect they're getting everybody. They're each one. This game. This game is
- 53:52this game. The most I've heard of that about this game is Michigan says
- 53:57they weren't involved in the in the hacking of the the college UH football videos
- 54:07Savan. I mean, I know Saban said a lot of those. They've
- 54:09been kind of weary about that as far as their iPads and yeah, left
- 54:13a lot of people off that and today they're they're doing well. They can't.
- 54:16I think they're gonna go. I think Alabama's gonna go old school signal
- 54:20calling uh. But Michigan came out and said, look, we were not
- 54:23involved in the hack of conduit or pursuit whatever that was. I don't know
- 54:29if you saw that article yesterday, but there was an article that the main
- 54:34Cloud. It's tough for me to read everybody's so the main cloud was hacked
- 54:39for everybody's uh college videos that they that they use and Michigan's. We were
- 54:46involved in that. We still signs, but we didn't go instill time to
- 54:52watch any reporting on Michigan because what comes out of their mouth I think mostly
- 54:55is bullshit about any of that. So I don't even believe it so well,
- 55:00And that's why that's why I think Jim is trying to get there,
- 55:02because I've already built that kind of a culture there culture there and what that.
- 55:07He's not done with the NCAA yet, they're not done with him,
- 55:12and I think that's why they're you know, but but you know that those
- 55:15those sanctions can actually go to the NFL. Now, well no, and
- 55:17they came that actually came any coach, any coach, but I think the
- 55:22player from n c double A to NFL, you can actually be penalized.
- 55:28I don't think though that. I think the Big ten was the one that
- 55:30kind of got involved with that and suspended him. I think the NCAA just
- 55:34stepped away because that's generally what they do when it comes to well, no,
- 55:37they're still doing their investigation. That's what I'm saying. That the NCAA
- 55:40made the first move to look like they were going to do something because all
- 55:43the other coaches in eighties and prisidents like, hey, are you gonna do
- 55:45something about this? I mean, come on now, I mean, you're
- 55:46not gonna do anything about anything. It's just let everyone do whatever. What
- 55:51what rules? What rules do they have? You know? Faith? Yeah,
- 55:55but we don't need to cover that. That pretty bucks deal and we
- 55:58talk about the play. No, I'm just trying to so now we talk
- 56:02about so that it's the one time, not one time, but we both
- 56:08Oh dad, alright, let's move on to Texas. Washington got twelve and
- 56:15one Texas Big twelve highs going that they are expecting a high scoring game with
- 56:19the Big twelve champs. First, I'm surprising over runners, not eighty first
- 56:22versus Washington, Well, I think the versus Washington thirteen to oh pack twelve
- 56:27champs. I think the reason why you tend to get a little bit in
- 56:30the playoffs because generally everyone starts a little slow. It seems like those big
- 56:32championships, yam have so much time off to pray. It is, I
- 56:37think, and I think it's just getting into that. You're just waiting for
- 56:39that break and then once that levy breaks, that's when. Now to bring
- 56:44up last year's Alamo Bowl. The opponents and edy was Texas and Washington played
- 56:49in the twenty twenty two Alimo Bowl or Texas lost No. Last year twenty
- 56:54twenty two, we were twenty one. We made the cheese A Bowl last
- 56:59year twenty seven to twenty. Uh yeah, that was the year before the
- 57:05Ala Mobile twenty seven to twenty. Last year Texas lost to Washington. Washington
- 57:09led most of the game. Texas I think made a little bit of a
- 57:12comeback. And uh so now we fast forward to this year, what's different
- 57:16Texas obviously, and like I've given different different fast paced offenses. Well,
- 57:22and I've give texts. I've give Texas credit because I thought that they have
- 57:25looked very big on the lines, very and and they've had some depth O
- 57:30line, D line. I think their secondary, I think their secondary is
- 57:34a little bit weak. I think that's what Washington's going to try to I
- 57:37mean, I'm not saying anything that we haven't all round. Washington's gonna they're
- 57:39gonna try to get definitely going to exploit that they are. But I think
- 57:44the one thing that you forget, Washington is not known for their run game.
- 57:46Well, I was getting ready to say that, I'm sorry I jumped,
- 57:51you know, and I'm getting ready to go against you on that a
- 57:52little bit. Is everyone that Dylan Johnson, their starting quarterback, has over
- 57:55a thousand yards this year, eleven hundred quarterback running back. I'm in and
- 58:00and so. And the offensive line if you watch them play, and they
- 58:04won the Joe Moore Award this year, is the best offensive line in the
- 58:07name. So yeah. So not only are they big, they are fast
- 58:12and they can move in the running game. Is there and pinnicks also in
- 58:15the league that they played in, it was a quarterback heavy league. Is
- 58:22not a running back premier league? Correct? Do you even have the ability
- 58:30to name one running back out of that, out of that PAC twelve that
- 58:37you would even consider for for a top for a top draft. Oh uh.
- 58:46I can watch receivers. I don't watch a lot of time. I
- 58:50can no. We did, we actually did this season. But I can
- 58:52name the quarterbacks. I can name you receivers well, and I think I
- 58:55can name you offensive lineman. But I can name you defensive line. I
- 59:00can name you defensive backs, running backs, I could name you a damn
- 59:05one. But I think that's why I was getting ready to tell you,
- 59:07as you said that they're not known for it, but I think that Dylan
- 59:10Johnson, but we discounted it. We just counted it all season, correct,
- 59:15because it's a quarterback heavy heavy I think Dylan Johnson is someone that you
- 59:19look at it and you're like, well, I mean, are we were
- 59:22forgetting that they could run the ball and the offensive line is pretty good.
- 59:24Now. The thing that Washington's gonna have to do is and I've said this
- 59:30before, and four is you outrun Texas and get them winded and get the
- 59:35front the front line tired, and you play that speed and you play fast.
- 59:38And that's not vice versa. Where Texas is is you play smash mouth
- 59:45football. You guys are big enough not to have a you can you might
- 59:49rush all three. It has to get the advantage. You might only rush
- 59:52three in some of those things and might be okay to those guys in the
- 59:54backs. It has to get the advantage. And I think yours the quarterback
- 59:59playing this game is even is not. I'm not gonna say as even more
- 1:00:01important. I don't know, because I think that the mistakes that could be
- 1:00:07possible in from Alabama concerned me. I think Milroe needs he's got Alabama or
- 1:00:15Michigan can win with a running back. This game. You you you have
- 1:00:21to establish dominance. So either side of the line. One of the things
- 1:00:27that I had wrote down for notes is Texas ranked one hundred and twenty first.
- 1:00:30I'm sorry, one hundred twenty first nationally, and everybody, this is
- 1:00:32Jenny. He's gonna tell you how he feels about numbers. Well, no,
- 1:00:37I mean I think that some of those things don't tell a lie.
- 1:00:39Texas one hundred and twenty first in the nation in red zone opportunities. So
- 1:00:43when you when Texas gets in the red zone this game, they've got to
- 1:00:45score as far as touchdown percent. Washington was nineteenth. So and then you
- 1:00:52know those guys you talk about. Obviously Brooks is out, So God,
- 1:00:57what is that backup running backs name Zevio dad a J. That was a
- 1:01:04wide receiver? What's the running back for? Not Brooks? He's worthy,
- 1:01:09that's what he's the He's the he's the wide receiver. Remember he went out
- 1:01:13for a couple of games. And I'm just I'm drawing a link on on
- 1:01:16the running back anyway. It's gonna be important for him too. But I
- 1:01:21think yours is going to have to be one of the guys that he's going
- 1:01:23to have to be the star of this game as far as in that offense.
- 1:01:27And C J. Baxter, not kJ c J Baxter. So he
- 1:01:32that's a true blue. Didn't and Blue have a really good night? Really
- 1:01:36it's it's Baxter Baxter be the featured back. And no, no, I
- 1:01:38got that, but didn't I think of the Big twelve title, didn't he
- 1:01:45probably so big they got to get in. I mean, you know,
- 1:01:47coach, I think coach his defense, I think all the benches, everything,
- 1:01:54I think every I think everyone from the bench got to play in that
- 1:02:00game for Texas, yours and Poenix that those are the game changers. Those
- 1:02:07are that's your cataly you think that. I really I want to see.
- 1:02:10I think it's the line play there. I really want to see how.
- 1:02:15I want to see how the defensive line for Washington receive if they can get
- 1:02:20to your. Texas has got good, big wide receivers, so that's what
- 1:02:24I'm saying. So will the No, They've got fast wide receivers. I
- 1:02:28think the and and uh at one and eleven he's won, and what's the
- 1:02:36eleventh he's He looks little to me though, as far as Rice, he's
- 1:02:40number one. Who's number eleven? For that the number eleven wide receivers really
- 1:02:45good too. And I can't I can't remember his name, but those two
- 1:02:49guys are going to be critical. But I really want to say, it's
- 1:02:51line play for this game, and then I think in the other game,
- 1:02:52for me, it's a quarterback play and what what they can do to score,
- 1:02:57because I think that's going to be the toughest thing and the first game
- 1:03:00points are gonna come easy in this game. Remember living could be a wide
- 1:03:06receiver. Oh yes, those two guys. I mean I've watched the six
- 1:03:14foot one. I mean they're they're just found. I got that. But
- 1:03:19they're not big. I mean, you say hi, but two fifteen it
- 1:03:22seemed small to me. They just look they look thin. You know,
- 1:03:25I would really see what you call them? Man, what do you mean
- 1:03:30to see? I didn't say they weren't tall. I like it'd be six
- 1:03:34foot three. I mean, I do Fitty coming on me, like,
- 1:03:37hey boy, you want some of this? But they're fast, and I
- 1:03:40think, well, let's go look at the hold on the list. That's
- 1:03:43what's gonna be. We're gonna there. Yeah, but we're gonna look at
- 1:03:45Texas wide receivers. What are they? Six foot five ten and seventy four
- 1:03:52one two oh three? I think the Mitchell kid and obviously Worthy. Those
- 1:03:58are the two guys that I remember seeing and then more a little bit.
- 1:04:00No, you know Thatcher Milton is gonna have a great I don't remember him,
- 1:04:04but I remember, but I like that name. I remember Mitchell name
- 1:04:08you meant Thatcher? I don't think. I think I saw John take it.
- 1:04:11But anyway, couldn't merit, couldn't. Marrit's been involved. I know
- 1:04:14that. Yeah, but look at this, But I mean this is Your
- 1:04:18tight ends are bigger. Your tight ends are basketball players, well they are.
- 1:04:24Texas is gonna come in a bigger team, no doubt, you know,
- 1:04:27just in size and weight and height and everything. Maybe not height,
- 1:04:30but as far as the size is that one guy because six, So I
- 1:04:38can't argue that. Five, can't argue that. But everybody's gonna come in
- 1:04:43on Wogey's poop. Oh my god, look at that. Jaylen Williams,
- 1:04:46Jamison Williams caught a ball. Didn't you have him? Oh you had Reynolds.
- 1:04:50No, it was Williams too. He's the Alabama guy that is going
- 1:04:54to be uh good wide received eventually. All right, let's up on into
- 1:05:00that old, that old dirty NFL. But hold on, you haven't picked
- 1:05:02You had major prediction. Oh for that game he be thirty seven to ten
- 1:05:08Washington hikes. Are you kidding? Thirty seven? Marston? So I'm going
- 1:05:13for it's in my brain right now. I think it's because I looked at
- 1:05:15the Brown score. Yeah, Greg, I said, thirty seven ten,
- 1:05:21so eat that I do have. I do have Washington winning, but much
- 1:05:26closer. I'm gonna go thirty one twenty seven. I don't think it's high
- 1:05:30as high scoring as the over ender, but I think it's going to be.
- 1:05:32Ye, you were the high score. No, no, that was
- 1:05:36the element. That was the element. Yeah, all right, there's our
- 1:05:39pick. So we'll see what the I want to talk about the resurgent Joe
- 1:05:44Flacco. Yes, yes, oh, Joe me know that he only has
- 1:05:48thirty seven yards or seventy yards something like that to pass uh fucking a and
- 1:05:56m kid oh talking about man sail Yeah, Johnny Johnny Manziel. Well,
- 1:06:02I mean, what do they consider him rookie or something? To pass him
- 1:06:08for six all time something like that? Oh already yeah wow. I saw
- 1:06:16that stad the other day and I was like, man, that's that's that's
- 1:06:20I'm sorry, bout I said. Joe Flacco comes in, and Joe Flacco
- 1:06:26does not look seven yards behind Johnny Manzil for seven yes, seven yards,
- 1:06:30yeah, yeah, Joe Flacco does not look like the Joe Flacken that we
- 1:06:35saw win super bowls. Or the Joe Flacco that we saw play for uh
- 1:06:41the uh the Jets. Like he's mobile, he's mobile, he's doing his
- 1:06:46thirty first all time on the brown What you say, like top ten?
- 1:06:54I don't remember. They did have Vinnie Testa, Bernie and those guys.
- 1:06:57You know, Look, don't ever talk about Vinny testimony. I'm not I
- 1:07:00guarantee the thirties, thirty first and whatever. I don't know how many quarterbacks
- 1:07:04said that they've only been No, no, no, then he doesn't count
- 1:07:09made up stats by Sean Stein. No. No. If you go by
- 1:07:12this team, remember this team is an expansion team, well, yeah,
- 1:07:16I guess they would be well because you take all that other ship they're in.
- 1:07:18They're Baltimore Ravens. That's true, that's but they would be now if
- 1:07:24you want to consider, yeah, you would have to. But if you
- 1:07:27want to go by the Browns as an expansion team, I think Tim Couch
- 1:07:33probably had more passing yards still, you know, even though he got run
- 1:07:36over, but he was the he was the new Browns first quarterback thousand.
- 1:07:44I think that was their first. I think that was their first actual that's
- 1:07:47a jog in my memory, but I think I think but Joe Flacco.
- 1:07:51This is so weird that Joe Flacco does not look like the Joe Flacco that
- 1:07:56we remember. But it was stiff in the pocket. I think the bad
- 1:08:00back. You know, we say that it's Keys defense. I think he's
- 1:08:02been doing Diamond Dallas page yoga. I think the Ravens had a good defense
- 1:08:06too, But you know, the Ravens started to slip, you know,
- 1:08:09a little bit on defense as Flacco had re signed on that big contract.
- 1:08:13So I think there was a lot of blame there that the offense had to
- 1:08:15do a little more work. I mean, Trent Dilfer won the Super Bowl
- 1:08:18for the Rave. No, no, no, we're not talking about We're
- 1:08:21not talking We're not to talk about that Dilver versus very calm No. But
- 1:08:26I'm just saying, because I was rooting for Kerry Color, but I'm just
- 1:08:29saying, you look at this team though now, and in the basis of
- 1:08:32that, that team is their defense. Their defense. First they run the
- 1:08:36ball and then Joe's I mean a lot of play actually through for I mean,
- 1:08:40I think it's this third or fourth straight game for throwing over three hundred,
- 1:08:45fourth straight game for throwing for three three hundred yards three touchdowns exception,
- 1:08:48Where was this Joe Flacco last season? Well, the Jets cut him at
- 1:08:54the beginning of the season. And wouldn't you think that just a lot the
- 1:08:57Jets needed a quarterbacks? You would think was you not think that they would
- 1:09:00say, Hey, we need a quarterback, can you come back? But
- 1:09:03he goes to the Browns and he is sev seventy five dollars a game and
- 1:09:10then he starts to get those has done very little to keep the team in
- 1:09:16I mean all the money you can pass. Yeah, before the loss of
- 1:09:20remember his his entire contract guarantee. We have talked previously on this podcast about
- 1:09:27NFL teams that are signing their quarterbacks to mega deals will will then generally start
- 1:09:32to deteriorate overall. What are we seeing with Kansas City right now? Well,
- 1:09:39you know, the only team that hasn't had that effect teams so far,
- 1:09:43I think it was that uh yeah, but Jalen's year one into his
- 1:09:49big contract. Yeah, but I think his increases as it goes on.
- 1:09:54So just resigned. But that's injuries about him yet his is also but okay,
- 1:10:03you're saying he's year one. Joe Burrows in year one of his I
- 1:10:08wouldn't I wouldn't even to talk about him yet. But that's a good contracting
- 1:10:12more about it. I noticed the Chiefs is the one that start you are
- 1:10:15just upset because Mahomes and Kelsey did not get you into the final Fantasy playoffs.
- 1:10:24The only reason why you're upset. You're upset because the two guys that
- 1:10:28you picked did not attend to make No. So right now the average year,
- 1:10:36you know, they break them down as far as average are you looking
- 1:10:40at? What are you looking at? What? What? What? What?
- 1:10:42What's the website? Are you on that one? Hold on, no,
- 1:10:45I don't. I don't even like that one because that did not even
- 1:10:46give me. You got to go to a sports wreck because I want I
- 1:10:49want to see what spot spot rash. Yeah, spot rack. Go to
- 1:10:54that one. That's that's the better. I'm here. So they give you
- 1:10:58the breakdown of everything year to years, any day. Yes, they will
- 1:11:01give you the breakdown and how much they're paying their girlfriends. So so right
- 1:11:04now Mahomes's value, it says if that's four hun and fifty million, of
- 1:11:08course it's it's went over ten years longer than the other ones. And then
- 1:11:12guaranteed. Was that? So my only deal is is I think that when
- 1:11:15you start to see let me see when they signed this beaud you do see
- 1:11:20mahomes Is twenty twenty and seeing look at all these other ones, Herbert Lamar,
- 1:11:26Yeah, Jalen Lamar all in all this year, Lamar and Jalen are
- 1:11:30the only two that are still going. Russell Wilson just got better. So
- 1:11:35dude, it's first, okay, well where Joe you said Joe Burrow was
- 1:11:39in his first year? It is okay, it's got hurt, so I
- 1:11:41okay, Well, Russell Wilson he's been benched. Second he's Ash. Allen's
- 1:11:45kind of an example. You start to see someone run someone. That's what
- 1:11:48I'm saying. Obviously Deshaun was just you know, Kyler Murray's in his big
- 1:11:53contract and you know he's been injured. I think the Herbert deal, I
- 1:11:57think that's going to be an issue with that job if someone taken over San
- 1:12:00Diego. Is the fact that that all the free agents there. I mean,
- 1:12:03you've got some big money free agents Diego. They are San Diego Bill
- 1:12:09always always be the San Diego Chargers. Thank you, Sean, thank you.
- 1:12:15So no button is not the same button. So when you talk about
- 1:12:19when you talk about the as he gets in mind on your side, how
- 1:12:27do you get off that so is he? But yeah, that's that's what
- 1:12:30you're gonna see these quarterbacks when they signed these big contracts. But no,
- 1:12:32but I think that the Browns Flacco is a great story. But I want
- 1:12:35to talk about a little better story than Joe Flacco. I want to talk
- 1:12:39about the Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucks. The Baker, the Baker
- 1:12:45Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Sean's gonna Sean's gonna laugh. But everyone
- 1:12:53knows in this area that we're always rooting for Baker and Baker, you know,
- 1:12:57to be honest, has had a bad rap as far as being a
- 1:13:00quarterback that couldn't win, But you look back, he was the first quarterback
- 1:13:03that actually took the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs. Then he got hurt,
- 1:13:09even played hurt, had a bad year. They're like, yea sex will
- 1:13:12ship him off. He goes to the Rams as a part time and we
- 1:13:15knew that wasn't going to be the fit that he was going to stay there.
- 1:13:18And then obviously he goes to the Buccaneers. Buccaneers currently eight and seven
- 1:13:21with one of the worst offensive lines I've seen in my life that's played for
- 1:13:26Bucks. They've been horrendous. Not as bad as last year. They've gotten
- 1:13:30a little better, but they've got a long ways to go. So his
- 1:13:32feet helped them. They play the Saints seven and eight, so it's a
- 1:13:34division rival this week. It isn't Tampa, so that helps. Weather looks
- 1:13:41good. But you talk about Baker Mayfield thirty five, about thirty six hundred
- 1:13:45yards, twenty six touchdowns, eight picks the last four games. I think
- 1:13:48he's thrown zero picks. And what he has done is when he minimum minimizes
- 1:13:55his mistakes and plays ball and doesn't take the sack throw the dumb ball.
- 1:14:00When he becomes the quarterback that we've all thought he would be, he's excelling.
- 1:14:05You talked about Mike Evans this year leads wide receivers in touchdowns. I
- 1:14:09think he leads in not receptions, but I know you think he in yards.
- 1:14:13Also, he's going to be a free agent, but the guy's a
- 1:14:15first ballot Hall of Famer. Them guys get together and the talk and I
- 1:14:18read a lot of stuff about Tampa Bay because I'm a fan. Is those
- 1:14:23guys, you know you are all these quarterbacks of these players that all we
- 1:14:27love our quarterback data day. No, they legitimately love this guy for quarterback
- 1:14:30ranting and Lambok the second quarterback? Who I forgot who the other one was?
- 1:14:38Did we just have one this week? It wasn't Mayfield and Lambeau?
- 1:14:40It was uh? Oh? Was that it was the Lambo gave yes?
- 1:14:43Yes, that was the perfect Yes, this was the only other quarterback,
- 1:14:45quite possibly because I guarantee it wasn't Brett. Uh but no, So I
- 1:14:50think that the I mean the story there eight and seven the Bucks over Under
- 1:14:55at the beginning of the year I think was five or six. They were
- 1:14:58picked third. I think I picked them third. We all picked them third.
- 1:15:02Shame on me, shame on all of them. But no, but
- 1:15:05I really thought the offensive line would be a detriment and they have actually uh
- 1:15:10the field Jill as a team. And I think that that Baker Mayfield's decision
- 1:15:15making is also made that what I'm talking about. While you were stepping away
- 1:15:19for a potty break, Oh no, I had to I had to go
- 1:15:23uh xboy for me. So you look at them it's a huge game,
- 1:15:27Buccaneers eight and seven. They finished up with the Carolina Panthers at Carolina after
- 1:15:32that, But you know what a great story the comeback player of the year
- 1:15:36is going to be. Or Baker Mayfield was not believing in Baker Mayfield succeeding
- 1:15:49at Tampa Bay. Of course she wasn't. And I said, all one
- 1:15:53either, well, I didn't new. I said, I think that's the
- 1:15:58perfect quarterback to fit in right now because we are broke. We had all
- 1:16:01that dead money from Tommy and we were like salary cap just was horrible.
- 1:16:09Now I picked him third, but I did have him. I think I
- 1:16:12picked him on the over. I just thought everyone would be about eight to
- 1:16:15nine. But that's what I meant. Eight nine. You said at all?
- 1:16:18I mean, in my opinion, in my opinion said I did not
- 1:16:23believe you franchise him. And and how they still could go eight and nine.
- 1:16:27I mean, you know they could lose the they could lose to the
- 1:16:29Saints in Carolina. That's one of the worst thing I've picked him. I've
- 1:16:32picked him. I picked against them last four weeks and I continue to pick
- 1:16:35against him just to make sure that just to make sure the street goes because
- 1:16:41I've been horrible. And you know what does that say is to Todd Bowles
- 1:16:45as a coach, that I discounted him, he was on the hot seat.
- 1:16:48Still think I still think he is. I think that, uh,
- 1:16:55Bruce Arians as a general manager is better than Bruce Arians as a coach.
- 1:17:00Well, he's not a general manager. He's just an assistant. Jason player
- 1:17:03coaches. He's a special assistant Jason Jason like, is you know what it's
- 1:17:09helping. It's actually to helping. It's helping the Buccaneers. I think that
- 1:17:13they transition from Tom Tom Brady, they from two years out from winning the
- 1:17:16Super Bowl and sexy Tom because I know you've got that picture in his underwear
- 1:17:21I sent you to you, uh, to sexy Mayfield. I don't find
- 1:17:27a sexy Mayfield picture for you. And and he has made that team look
- 1:17:32just as good as they did when they won the Super Bowl. I don't
- 1:17:36think they're quite there running back issues. They've got a defensive defensive back issues.
- 1:17:43No, not defensive back per se. I think linebackers all week.
- 1:17:45Winfield. Winfield's one of the best safeties in the league. I'm not saying
- 1:17:49that it's a complete defensive team. You can have one of the best defensive
- 1:17:55backs in league. I think you'd have three other people on the team.
- 1:17:58I think No, I think we really need a better pass rush and a
- 1:18:00better line all around. Not all around. There's some good talent, but
- 1:18:04but they need some better O line. And then you talk about uh the
- 1:18:11running back like you mentioned you know why. It's a good young player,
- 1:18:14but they don't have anything to back him at brock Bowers though. Tight end,
- 1:18:17Please drab that the bitch. I mean, that's my what you doing?
- 1:18:25It is you all up? He's the one generational guy that I've seen
- 1:18:29right now. The first round that I's a tight end was my other What
- 1:18:32was my other term? It was not all pro? What was it?
- 1:18:35I had to go back and we're making a shirt remember it was my step
- 1:18:39up? Yeah, I forgot. You forgot already. But anyway, that
- 1:18:43guy's that would fit because we do need we do need to tight end and
- 1:18:46and and you need a tight end. He could be a tied end like
- 1:18:48Jason Kelce pre Taylor also a wide receiver, you know, blocking Taylor,
- 1:18:55swift, swift jam. Let's look over a few more games before Dolphins Ravens
- 1:19:01fight for number one in the AFC. I don't I think. I think
- 1:19:05the Ravens are just on a on a heater right now. All right.
- 1:19:08One, you got the Dolphins against a five hundred team, five hundred plus
- 1:19:14team, Well they won one. Last week they beat Dallas one you have
- 1:19:18that was the fraud BALLT Two. They are going to Baltimore And what's the
- 1:19:24temperature in Baltimore right now? So the forties is what it's that's that's allegedly
- 1:19:28at the start of the game is forty five. Yeah, Now, I
- 1:19:31do love Raheem Moster. He's having a resurgence. Dallas currently is winning seventeen
- 1:19:36thirteen right now against the is not doing what he's supposed to. I need
- 1:19:42twenty points, losing horribly. I think that I like. I like the
- 1:19:48Ravens in that game. What else you go is that there's not really well,
- 1:19:51that's well, that's the battle. I thought this thought tonight game was
- 1:19:55the more interesting one. More interesting looks very low scoring. No, okay,
- 1:20:00we have Saints Buccaneers because that is still the tight conference. Buccaneers still
- 1:20:03have not clinched. It is Saints are still there if they beat Tampa.
- 1:20:09That puts everybody at eight and eight. Tampa still with Atlanta. Atlanta's playing
- 1:20:14Chicago. Chicago's on a heater. Tampa has the tiebreaker over them all.
- 1:20:18Now you've got Philly that's going, That's got Arizona coming to them. So
- 1:20:24we all know that l A Rams they are vying for spot. Uh and
- 1:20:30they are playing the Giants horrible pulled Danny de Vito. Uh, Colts and
- 1:20:40Raiders. Raiders are still in it. Uh, Antonio a great count the
- 1:20:45Raiders in it. There's too much they need to happen. There's a lot
- 1:20:48of losses. Well, it's it's so much. It's the same as the
- 1:20:50Bears getting in. Yeah, correct? Correct? So was that all the
- 1:20:54big games? Is that really? It go back down because these these early
- 1:20:57games are kind of no, no, no, no, We've still got
- 1:20:59more. Houston is Houston needs to beat Tennessee and we know that Tennessee is
- 1:21:04a spastic team this season. Uh. Steelers, Okay, Steeler Seahawks.
- 1:21:11Both teams need to win to get in. This is a must win for
- 1:21:17both teams. Now, are the Steelers starting Landry Jones or are the Steelers
- 1:21:24starting wrong wrong team, wrong quarterback? Yeah, no, wrong college team.
- 1:21:31Sorry, yeah, he was fifteen years ago. That's why I'm missing
- 1:21:38my heart Mason Rudolph because I can't mention that asshole. Remember he got hit
- 1:21:43in the head. With Houston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, those are the three
- 1:21:47teams that really need to win the AFC. And like you said, but
- 1:21:50Seattle and Pittsburgh are both and a must win this week. That's gonna be
- 1:21:58one of the fun chess just because of the playoff implications. Then you've got
- 1:22:01the Bengals and the Chiefs. Both those teams are jockeying. Well, one
- 1:22:04for the playoffs. One we just trying to get in, yes, one
- 1:22:09for position, one for the Bangels are trying to get in, don't they.
- 1:22:11Yeah, that's what I'm saying. One for position the Chiefs, and
- 1:22:14one just to get in for the Bengals. And oh and Backers Vackers,
- 1:22:17Pikings, Backers Piking just versus Piking. It's just that is a rivalry game,
- 1:22:25right, That's the only rivalry it's it's it's hoping that the Vikings.
- 1:22:30I don't I need the Vikings to win, uh to so the Bears can
- 1:22:34move above the Packers, so I win that side I mean, the Bears
- 1:22:39aren't going to finish number two, so Kiddy already lost? Are you sure?
- 1:22:43Is that impossible? Yeah? No, no, it actually is not
- 1:22:46going to say for the two games left, it is still not impossible.
- 1:22:49Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's implausible. It's probably impossible.
- 1:22:55It's not impossible, but it's not impossible. But it's impossible. I
- 1:22:58don't know. I like I like the I like actually how I kind of
- 1:23:01wonder this is the fun time in the NFL right now, this is one
- 1:23:05of the NFL is in colleges as the Rams will look pretty good right now,
- 1:23:11sneaking into the playoffs. Uh, they're not going to finish. They're
- 1:23:16not going to finish first. But he did call it that they were going
- 1:23:18to be good. They made a lot of injuries. Uh, their rookies
- 1:23:21have really stepped up, they've had Their draft class was one of the best,
- 1:23:28UH draft classes to perform. Well, it had to be with their
- 1:23:32limited pig form limited. Yeah, I agree, they had to be though.
- 1:23:36That's what I'm saying. Your front Pooka. Who saw Pooka coming out
- 1:23:43of b y U? I think it was it b Yu who's the kid
- 1:23:45out of Fresno that was really good. I don't know, missing to Williams
- 1:23:51a chain a cane a chain I know, but where is he from?
- 1:23:57Who is? Yeah? College wise? Well that that's what Dolphins were talking
- 1:24:00about the Rams. No no no, I was just thinking about. I'm
- 1:24:02thinking of b Yu and Fresno had these two really good crazy rookies that that
- 1:24:09I'm I'm you're right one of the one of them was b Yu. And
- 1:24:13I thought the Fresno kid was there was somebody from Fresno that was really good.
- 1:24:18So so old hold and who and who? And I and I could
- 1:24:23be wrong, but I think b Yu was b y U is Pook?
- 1:24:28Yeah, yeah. Nobody saw Pook and the CoA coming out as a Yeah,
- 1:24:34nobody saw him coming out as as a wide receiver that would change the
- 1:24:42league because they really had there was like Cooper Cup and then everybody's like,
- 1:24:47Okay, there's Cooper Cup, but who else? And it's and and you
- 1:24:53know, it's turned into pooking the Coua too to out, Well, what
- 1:24:57do you think of to to Just I don't know why President was stuck in
- 1:25:01my head. Maybe it was just because it was the West Coast and it
- 1:25:03was b yu. Okay, but anyway we went to where did you go?
- 1:25:15Okay, see maybe no one, hold on, let me just go,
- 1:25:18hold on, let me just go. I had Davante Adams, he
- 1:25:20was Fresno, but he's do you also have David Carr? No? Well?
- 1:25:27And I was looking at j Cat Hater hater he was at the Saints.
- 1:25:30He was a quarterback. No, I don't know what I was thinking.
- 1:25:32That was just the moment. Hold on, let me go. Look,
- 1:25:34let's see we got the same final four four? Are you still still
- 1:25:40the same? I mean, nothing's really well. Baltimore, what do Yeah?
- 1:25:44I was gonna say, Baltimore, you bring in Baltimore instead? The
- 1:25:45Chiefs involved in that because I'm I'm I'm leaning a little bit now towards Baltimore.
- 1:25:50Uh, Baltimore Bills. And I don't think the Bills are You don't,
- 1:25:58but that was my surprise sleeper team that after the bad season they've had.
- 1:26:01And I think so Houston might be croud even back. Is he even
- 1:26:05gonna? Yeah, he's playing like he's playing the mole? Is he?
- 1:26:09Okay? I didn't know that Florida State? Uh? Are you sure?
- 1:26:15I could have swore? He was out for another game. He is starting,
- 1:26:20is okay? He is? Yeah, he's up for two games.
- 1:26:24Oh, he missed two games. He's already missed it. Okay, God
- 1:26:26make me. I hate you, sorry you, but you got that one
- 1:26:29right. Good job, good job. I just I was overthinking it.
- 1:26:32You would sleep so much football talk about playoffs. You know what's gonna happen
- 1:26:38to get all these players? You know what. One of my favorite movies
- 1:26:41is Misery. I'm gonna just break your ankles repeatedly. No, I think,
- 1:26:45I think though. The Eagles look funny to me and there's still there's
- 1:26:55wells falling apart. No, no, it's the defense has no issue.
- 1:27:00Okay, just let me know how that works. That's causing. That's that's
- 1:27:04that's something that's causing. Okay, I'm not gonna say I'm right yet,
- 1:27:11but it's coming. Sometimes when you're one, when you're when you're a one
- 1:27:16dimensional it was jaylen Hurst is not one dimensional. He's about he's about to
- 1:27:23break Randall cut Ams record. Golly, it was Aaron Mosby. I knew
- 1:27:26it. That's that's that guy. Is that the c f A is that?
- 1:27:33What is this? What is this? Is that the the guys,
- 1:27:40the guys at Green Bay is an outside linebacker, I'm sorry, an offensive
- 1:27:44linebacker. No, it was Bland. That's right, that that's who it
- 1:27:49was. I knew there was a presdent of state seventy rookie. He's the
- 1:27:53rookie. Okay, Okay, See, I wasn't crazy. I knew there
- 1:27:56was somebody in the lead. I thought he was on offense. Your crazy.
- 1:28:02I knew there was somebody. He said, So you still you still
- 1:28:05got you still got Eagles, and I do. I can't say that.
- 1:28:12No Lions love, No, no Cowboys love. Okay, okay, I
- 1:28:15can't have the fraud teams. They do not. There's something that's not congealing
- 1:28:26with those two teams making it to the championship. You have going to be
- 1:28:30wrong about golf picture. You know you have. Sorry, Fantasy Hunter was
- 1:28:39bad. Well she hadn't. Yeah, but you haven't. We haven't seen
- 1:28:42it. We haven't seen two in cold weathers. I don't. I mean,
- 1:28:45look at those stats, though, I mean, what's you what do
- 1:28:47you think he's got ten points? I don't know. I mean I don't
- 1:28:50want to. I don't. This is why I don't like to give people
- 1:28:54fantasy advice. I know it. I mean I was seventh place in all
- 1:28:58I like to keep mind that's why I'm playing for the title. Oh my
- 1:29:03god, Brandon Cooks your son of am? Did you are? Did you
- 1:29:08play him? He's on my bitch. Oh no, Golf's got a six
- 1:29:12point two four. So I'm gonna bet. I'm gonna go ahead and say
- 1:29:16that who is there other quarterback was probably gonna get more than that four minutes
- 1:29:20left in the four minutes left, four twenty four left in the fourth unless
- 1:29:27Jared Goff starts throwing ninety yards. We ain't getting up with sweetheart. Oh
- 1:29:32that's it is tough fantasy. Hey, as we close that fantasy, Sean,
- 1:29:35we'll know on our next podcast if you're the champion or not. Yeah,
- 1:29:40which everybody's rooting against me. We are in the league that we are
- 1:29:44named after. Yes, and it's such a shit thing. It's like,
- 1:29:47would you want one of one of the ogs to win? Now? Because
- 1:29:53we didn't want to hear about it. So anyway, what do you think
- 1:29:57is gonna happen? You hold on to that two hundred seven point win?
- 1:30:00Damn right, I did. I did score the most points all one game.
- 1:30:04Yeah, and so no, I think that I think that the NFL,
- 1:30:09like we talked about getting into the NFL is I would say NFL is
- 1:30:13pulling way better rankings and they're getting all those fans back that they allegedly lost
- 1:30:16during all that gaining and gaining because college is in college is uh is so
- 1:30:25chaotic right now? A right prediction Harball in the NFL right now, if
- 1:30:29you just say yes or no. I think I think he wants to.
- 1:30:31I think he wants to get away from from all that. I think the
- 1:30:35San Diego job is good. I think he is. I don't know if
- 1:30:40he if the Bear's job does come open now is staying reports Today I saw
- 1:30:46that his job is safe. He'll be back for next year. Because that's
- 1:30:50sweet sweet drove. All right, little basketball dudes, my boss and Celtics
- 1:30:58are still in first place and Muchia Bulls had moved into tenth place. Now,
- 1:31:01what did I say about the thunder at the beginning of the year,
- 1:31:04possible deep running the playoffs. That's exactly what I said. And currently twenty
- 1:31:09one or nine sitting at the second seat. You know how many times you
- 1:31:12gotta play Sacramento the youngest many times you got to play like the youngest team.
- 1:31:15How many times you got to play Sacramento? I don't know, usually
- 1:31:18four and yeah, because you can't be Sacramentos. But you know we didn't
- 1:31:23Gold and stay bit you guys the other day. No, I don't remember
- 1:31:26that, but we killed the Nuggets last night. Oh ya, No,
- 1:31:29I saw that. Well, I think we've won. What was it?
- 1:31:30Does it show up there Sean at eight and two? Yeah? Eight and
- 1:31:32two? Yeah? And I think it's like the last six of seven or
- 1:31:36something? Last two Lakers? No, eight and two? But at six
- 1:31:40to seven or something like that. What's our streak right now? Eight and
- 1:31:44eight and two and had a ten? But I think we won six the
- 1:31:45last ten. Yeah. Do you think out of seven that's not ten?
- 1:31:51That's what I'm saying. Six out of seven. I think I get that.
- 1:31:55But it only shows your last ten. I'll be I'm gonna go click
- 1:31:59on the thunder. I don't have'm a highlighted. Ain't even one of my
- 1:32:00teams. They should be mother you talk about No, I mean, why
- 1:32:05do I want to root for the Sonics. They're not the Sonics. They're
- 1:32:10far far from the Sonics. They've been here long enough. But hey,
- 1:32:13shank, uh, shank you. I'm telling you, I don't know.
- 1:32:18I don't know if he's gonna win the m v P. But what do
- 1:32:21I call him? I mean, yeah, the guy? The guy is
- 1:32:26okay. So we lost that game. But that's I think that's been.
- 1:32:30That's been a bit. No, no, no, no, no,
- 1:32:31no, this is this is the last game. Yeah it is the Nuggets.
- 1:32:35Yeah, but you beat the Timberwolves. We lost the Lakers. So
- 1:32:39that's one two three, that's nine. To slow down on that. Please,
- 1:32:44do you want to see how many games you've lost? I just wanted
- 1:32:45to see the last games. Dude. You wouldn't even let me count.
- 1:32:47That showed you what you're moving up and down. It's tough to count.
- 1:32:50Oh look, Kitty, I went forward, just to stop right there.
- 1:32:54That's that's all you need to stop forward and backwards. Six out of seven
- 1:32:59sorry, one six a second, I think that's what I said. Six
- 1:33:00out of seven. So lost to the Lakers by one two. Already counted
- 1:33:06three wins, Lakers loss, four five six, King's loss. Yeah,
- 1:33:18six out of seven, So I said six seven the last seven games we've
- 1:33:23won six sevens. I didn't count nine. I said seven. You're confusing.
- 1:33:28You're confused, aren't you? I said, just seven games? Six
- 1:33:30seven, that's all I was saying. Nine, ten, hold on,
- 1:33:36but no, hold on. I couldn't agree. Thank you. I'm doing
- 1:33:44a good run. It is, and and and we'll start talking a little
- 1:33:46bit about more about basketball when football, because that means that's actually here.
- 1:33:53Well, then the NFL rolls out a little longer. But then you got
- 1:33:56softball coming up too, so we'll be talking about balls. Anyway. That
- 1:34:00was the only other thing I wanted to talk about that was off the subject
- 1:34:04was that the Pistons won a game. Congratulations, they had twenty eight in
- 1:34:09a row. They want they beat the Raptors today. Sorry, we already
- 1:34:15talked about Tywee going to Wisconsin. And the other thing is is we talk
- 1:34:24about the fat Oh here we go, we got, we got, we
- 1:34:26got Kirby Smart talking about he did not want all the FSU opt outs during
- 1:34:30the Georgia game. It is what it is, folks. I mean some
- 1:34:32NCAA is gonna have to do something, or the College present, whatever you're
- 1:34:35gonna do. Is is the playoffs are gonna help these bowl games some but
- 1:34:41see it's not even gonna be some because now the first rounds are gonna be
- 1:34:45home field advantage games. So and then you're gonna have buye weeks forather.
- 1:34:48So I don't know how you're gonna corporate them bowls at all. You're going
- 1:34:51to do some, and that's the bigger ones, but all these other bawls,
- 1:34:54Hey, listen, folks, get rid of them. I mean,
- 1:34:56they're just a waste of fight. They're not for the players of the team,
- 1:34:58I don't want to say that, but for the fans. The sponsors
- 1:35:00are going to realize this until something fixes. The sponsors have better They have
- 1:35:05better invested money into putting that money into the individual players or teams than they
- 1:35:11do have putting into these bowls. Well, in my opinion, and you
- 1:35:14remember when bowls, I mean you think about how many sponsors. But yeah,
- 1:35:17but we remember when we were younger, Bowls didn't really have sponsors.
- 1:35:24It was just the Peach Bowl or it was the They figured out how to
- 1:35:28make money. And that's fine, and I have no problem with that.
- 1:35:30But now you're changing all the sponsors because people other sponsors that have left before
- 1:35:34going we get into the bang for a buck on this hold on, Is
- 1:35:39there a GoDaddy Bowl this year? Maybe? But you got the bad Boy
- 1:35:44bad Boys been for a few years. Yea, the blue Bonnet Bowl,
- 1:35:47Well that's old, so they don't do that anymore. Well, because blue
- 1:35:49Bonnet does margarine, it's not good for you. Better it is better?
- 1:35:54I thought better? Doesn't blue Bonnet have ice cream? I think Pat Jones
- 1:36:02isn't all right on ice cream talk. But that's what that's what. That's
- 1:36:11what I'm saying is you know, we had, uh, we had bowls
- 1:36:15that meant something, and we had people that played never game. I think
- 1:36:17we started with bulls sucking and were ending with balls sucking. And it is
- 1:36:21a problem, and and people are saying it it's just more more. People
- 1:36:25has got to be louder about it, and the sponsors need to back off
- 1:36:29and and and request that changes be made. Well, I would listen.
- 1:36:32I would say, if you're well, transfer portal, that's that's a fix.
- 1:36:40I don't have a problem with the money, there's no doubt pay whatever.
- 1:36:42But it'd be nice if everyone got eat. But how much money is
- 1:36:45that sponsor losing from the kids setting out because they don't want to get hurt?
- 1:36:50Well, yeah, their spont they're sponsoring before they know what team is
- 1:36:55going to be in there. Yeah, I means years in advance, I
- 1:36:59want to say them. Which I watched the Georgia Florida State game. Zero
- 1:37:01didn't watch it from the beginning, and that was there, that was on.
- 1:37:08So I flipped over to the c W and watched Wyoming and Toledo,
- 1:37:11which is a much more interesting game, and they had more of the players
- 1:37:15that were in there. So uh. And that's the problem, and that's
- 1:37:16what people are doing. The Bowl games. People are watching less and less.
- 1:37:19It's becoming less of a tradition. It's become more of a hey is
- 1:37:23my team there, and I'll watch it. And you know, you know,
- 1:37:27look at look at the downfall of look at the downfall of balls,
- 1:37:30and look at the downfall of All Star games. Nobody cares about All Star
- 1:37:34Games anymore. I give credit to the NBA. They have a and that
- 1:37:40MLB. They still draw some ratings though they do some different things. Football
- 1:37:45is just a joke. Somebody was somebody was. I was watching something and
- 1:37:50somebody was talking about when the Pro Bowl mattered, when it was after the
- 1:37:58Super Bowl. Always it was after the Super Bowl. And it was in
- 1:38:03Hawaii. It was in Hawaii, and and people gave a ship and and
- 1:38:09and played players players played, they played because I remember that was one of
- 1:38:14h uh it was it was Vaca. It was vacations, you know,
- 1:38:17Yeah, I mean I remember, but they still playing and all they still
- 1:38:20played, and they did not care if they hurt somebody. It was what
- 1:38:24was it? Uh? He was the guy out of Arkansas and he played
- 1:38:28for Denver and he fucking he did that. He did that shotgun pop on
- 1:38:31the dude, like we hit the dude and it sounded like a shotgun went
- 1:38:35on. I want to say it was at Well, Steve Atwell, at
- 1:38:40Water, at Water, it was at Denver. Yeah, it was at
- 1:38:43Denver, I think for the most of the time. But but yeah,
- 1:38:46and that's when I'm not because everybody's having fun. But still it was like,
- 1:38:49hey, you ain't you know, there's still a lot of hits and
- 1:38:51stuff. Yeah, and until I would say, until Brady and Manning came
- 1:38:57along. Well, I remember both them playing, though I think it's when
- 1:39:00they I remember when they came along, but they made it boring. No,
- 1:39:03the Pro Bowl begin became the opt Out Bowl there too. If you
- 1:39:06remember, Yeah, it did, and that's when it And then they did
- 1:39:09it in the week before the Super Bowl. Let's not forget. Let's not
- 1:39:12forget that. Tom Brady was like, you can't touch my ankles. Well,
- 1:39:15I mean I wouldn't blame him either. You know he was you know
- 1:39:18what, he was in Tampa Bay or he was in New England. Don't
- 1:39:23touch the greatest. Don't touch my ankles. Don't touch my ankles. No,
- 1:39:26but that guy pulled me down from my cast. I think it is
- 1:39:29illegal, but I think the I think the that was it became the opt
- 1:39:33out then too, it was the opt out Pro Bowl. Then they moved
- 1:39:36the Pro Bowl to the week between the Super Bowl and the end of the
- 1:39:39year, and I was like, and then and that made it even worse.
- 1:39:42Then you lose all your best players that are in the sun because because
- 1:39:44all the guys that were voted in didn't want to go because they had to
- 1:39:46go to the to the do you think, in a collective bargaining your inmate,
- 1:39:53you could take off two weeks of two weeks of preseason and make Pro
- 1:39:59Bowl man toy, I think they'd go for that. I'm saying that Pro
- 1:40:05Bowl needs to go back to what what you know, what I'm saying,
- 1:40:10I don't know if you're ever going to get those players. Well no,
- 1:40:13no, I'm saying Pro Bowl needs to go back to what it used to
- 1:40:15be. Money. You know, NFL All Stars versus College All Stars.
- 1:40:20I do, that's been a long time ago. Yes, that's been a
- 1:40:24long time ago. A lot of people don't remember that. But that's been
- 1:40:28a long long time. But that's what that means. Seventies, eighties,
- 1:40:31sixties, sixties. Okay, no, but yeah, but that'd be fun
- 1:40:35with prior to Super Bowl. But that's what I'm saying. If you take
- 1:40:40college all Stars and everybody votes. Everybody votes, not players, not league
- 1:40:48people, people, the people vote. I think the Baseball's tried to make
- 1:40:51people vote, an NBA has done well about that. People put the people
- 1:40:57into But I'm saying, people vote for NFL All Stars versus College All Stars,
- 1:41:03and they let that happen, and that is your Pro Bowl, that
- 1:41:09is your Senior Bowl, that is your Pro Bowl. It's possible. I
- 1:41:12don't think it will ever happen because the injuries owing money. There's too much
- 1:41:14money about getting to the more important games. But yeah, you have to
- 1:41:18explain it hurt. You explain to the guys. Look, we're playing.
- 1:41:23We're playing. You want to play to win, but same tongue. Who's
- 1:41:28better. Don't play to hurt. Don't head hunt, it's all it.
- 1:41:31Don't don't do your it's all regular. I'm gonna throw a four on nder
- 1:41:36your throat, it's all. You're not in the NFL.
