• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I mean, dude, it was in gravy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, this year in particular, my Thanksgiving meals were just on point on point.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone is one of the best meals I've ever had.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Hands down and like usually you're like, oh yeah, everything was nice, everything was good, but this year, man, it was might actually went the exact opposite.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: My mom, my mom, over Kirk the turkey.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: So no, we had a Griswold Griswold turkey.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, it was dry as hell.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: All the sides were great, but the dry turkey I mean.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You can't have a dry turkey on Thanksgiving.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Well, miami football, turkey.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: This season wasn't completely dry, as they got a little sauce on it at the end there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He liked what I did there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It was like a deep fried turkey that you left in the fryer five minutes too long, it's got good flavor, man.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's like oh man, this could have been good, yeah it was almost there, man Almost.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: This could have been a good turkey, but what would you like?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Finishing out the season on the road?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You beat Miami better than Florida state.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you beat Boston college better than Florida state.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh there, there there's a.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's an old throwback to the big East.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I know, I love being the hell out of BC.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that, yeah, I remember, and that's an easy place to play.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I remember Ed Reed having it having that big return back about 20 years ago or so.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Dude, that's a.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: That's probably my favorite football watching memory with my dad is watching that game.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: All right, well, yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, when BC remember, and they're driving down the field, me and my dad are sitting there hammer drunk and just angry beyond belief until the tip pass.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Then we start jumping up and down, dude, we're dropping beer bottles and smashing them on the living room floor, hugging each other as Ed Reed is running down the sideline.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Man, greatest football memory with my dad.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Well, um, tvd had his last memory in a Keynes uniform.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it went out on a winning side, but he has entered the transfer portal.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: What are your initial thoughts there?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Um, I mean as much as I spent the last two years just ripping TVD to shreds.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Um, I'll look back on the TVD years kind of fondly, um, because, uh, the two years ago TVD was so much fun.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Um, I kind of let him slide on last year's uh disaster, you know, due to injury and Josh Gannis, and this year was really up and down uh for TVD.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Um, when he was on, he was on, like the Texas A&M game, the Louisville game, he was on and he was on point.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: He was on point again in the Boston college game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Now, granted, the running game carried us um against BC and um and the defense looked great again.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Um, but yeah, I, I I am going to be uh kind of sad to see TVD you go on one level, um, because you know it'd be nice to have a, an experienced quarterback that you know does have the potential to, you know, to light it up.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But I'm also ready to see Emory Williams.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tyler Van Dyke.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: For everyone who doesn't know what we're talking about TVD.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And uh, and I think, um, he's got a shot, depending on where he goes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I already know where he needs to go.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Where's that?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He needs to go to SMU and hook up with Red Lashley.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my, oh my Florida state plays at SMU next year.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Oh God, he really needs to go now.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Give me TVD, jalen, that's a that's a, you know, portal combat.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to get.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's the.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's what it's going to about to be man, I think Miami will be in that market as well.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Do you think they'll be in the transfer portal looking?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It um, I mean you, you, you have to be out there.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I think Florida state will as well.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like even Alabama and teams like that need to be looking in the portal.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Because I mean, you look at someone like and this is what, this is what my hope is for you to see.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Um, is the something like a Jaden Daniels?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels Nobody would know who he was had he not left Arizona state.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Now he's going to win the Heisman and be Jaden Daniels and Johnny Wilson on that Arizona state state team, Herm Edwards.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We wouldn't know who either one of those guys were if they had not hit the portal.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And and so maybe TVD hits the portal.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I think SMU is the no doubt spot for him to go to reconnect with Lashley and have Jalen Night and then just running back.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And that SMU team is fun the way they put.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: They just throw the ball all over the field, uh, put points up on the board.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It'll be like TVD two years ago if he's that SMU man.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's that might be true.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I know we predicted, uh, duke quarterback, rather Leonard to go to Notre Dame.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's what we predicted, like the couple shows ago.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that goes better than Sam Hartman's stint at Notre Dame.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, they sent, Although I mean it worked well for them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Any got a year.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Another year to spend at Notre Dame probably got paid, but yeah, didn't?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: They didn't get the wins that they thought they would get.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, the first couple of games of the season.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Man, I was getting worried about Notre Dame like I thought with her, with Hartman, that they were going to be top five.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, um well, you got the dolphins.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: They were.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: They played Black Friday, this Thanksgiving in the Jets.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You got the win.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Couple picks from Tua.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And they were bad picks too.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: But to.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I've noticed this season man to has got a tendency is like like, like every like 20 to 25 throws.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's going to try and thread the needle into triple coverage and you'll just look like what the hell was he thinking?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: When somebody gets those picks, Like it's.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It's something you almost got to put up with, Kind of like a Brett Favre scenario where it seems like Tua's always going to try and squeeze the ball in and he doesn't have the arm strength to do it, but he's got the accuracy so he always tries.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that it's just going to be baked into the cake with Tua is he's going to have a high interception count every year, Not like crazy I, but it's always going to be something.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You just got to hope he doesn't throw him in an opportune times.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And as much as I enjoyed the BC beat down, there's nobody I enjoy enjoy beating down in the NFL more than the goddamn jets.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Aaron Rogers is going to make it back this year, so I hope they need to lose as much as possible.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Of course he is dude because he doesn't take big pharma products.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Well, we got a.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I know you're excited about the hoops, miami basketball in the top 25 and top what 10?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: What are they?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: 10, my man.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Top 10.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right up there.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Preseason got to be right up there with Duke in the ACC.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I can't wait till our first matchup with Duke.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to there on the court tonight?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: In the SEC ACC challenge, they're taking it on Kentucky.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a good matchup, it's going to be a lot of fun.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Man, kentucky's only loss was a close loss to number one Kansas this year and, uh, and when I'm looking at Kentucky, um, they are very back court heavy, like it's all small forwards and guards that get all their points.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: They like to shoot it around, uh, spread it around, kind of like a golden state style offense, which, uh, actually works well for Miami in the matchup because of, uh, miami's defensive style.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: If you're going to be swinging the ball around and passing it around, miami's going to be in those passing lanes all day long getting turnovers.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: That's what we do best defensively, okay, and they don't have a guy that can stop O'Mear down low.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: O'Mear.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Goodness, gracious nightmare.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: That's right, he's back.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: He's back.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Tell us more about Miami's roster this year.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Well, there's some for all my my specific fans that tune in just for my brilliant analysis.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You'll recognize some of these names from last year.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Obviously you got Omer, who's average in 16 points and nine boards again, which is a step up points wise for him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Poplar right now is our leading scorer, who was our three-point shooter off the bench last year.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And poplars average in 18 again.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I expected.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I expected pack to be the point leader right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But poplars, stepping up in his new role as the as a start and shooting guard, and Then the next two scorers we got Again in the backcourt.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Nigel Packett 16 again, and then your boy, cleveland.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Then I'm on.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: What's he?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: has he doing.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Um dude, he's averaging almost 17 again.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Oh man they're like.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Here are starting lineup with the stats you got poplar at guard with 18 points, cleveland at guard with 16.8.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So 17 pack right at 16, omer right at 16 and then Joseph, then Joseph a guy that came off the bench a lot last year, also Averagen 11 and a half, and those are outside of Cleveland.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Those are all guys back from last year's squad.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: This is an experienced team that can shoot the ball.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That will get after it on defense for coach Laren.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it should be a lot of fun tonight.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And what's really good for old heads like me is the game tips off at like seven, so it'll be like 45, so I can go to bed at a decent hour.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Basketball season is underway.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I know Florida State takes on Georgia tomorrow.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Miami basketball the heat looked pretty good so far.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if we could just stay healthy.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Man butler's been banged up hero always, as always has been a little banged up.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Bam is playing so far the best, best basketball of his career.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He's scoring more points.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Um, he's affecting the game a lot, you know.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Obviously he's doing his rebounding blocking.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: You know his awesome screen game, but he's scoring more points.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He's.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: He's finally starting to hit that about like 18 foot jumper with a little more consistency.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And, yeah, and Duncan Robinson's added to his game too, which he really needs to, because now he's he's really worked on his on his ball handling skills.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So it's it's crazy to see a little white guy out there, duncan Robinson, that can put it on the floor and get past and get past people now started.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I think he, after that little slump he had when he got in in the playoffs last year, you'd see him take a like a mental hurdle.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: He broke through a wall of his career and he's gonna be dangerous because he's got that stroke.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, oh no, driving the ball to the hole, like definitely remember in the playoffs last year he was he really stepped up.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: When they needed him he would take the ball, the whole.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I mean everybody would close out on fast because it was shot and he had to learn that he had to get that in his game and he's got it now and it's just Made him so much more confident as a player.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, because now you can't just come bum rush him at the three point line.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He's gonna open up a shot even more.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So he's exactly man.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: He's gonna start earning that 17 million we signed him for a couple years ago, so Well, uh, Miami was at seven and five.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yep seven and five, which uh is that what you predicted?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly what I predicted.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yep Miami contributor.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Justin, ride on the nose.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: A bowl game, though A bowl game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: What would you like to see your canes in?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not the sunbowl, because we go to that freaking sunbowl and I'll pass.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So all the damn time, dude, and I do not want to go to the sunbowl at all.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I'd like, I'd like to see a good matchup.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of some teams that are around us.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Uh, crap, what's the word not schedule, not ranking?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, record wise.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: There's the word um, record wise.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, uh, like, what could be a fun one would be maybe, uh, miami, usc.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That would be one that would draw some eyes.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: If I'm, uh, if I'm a TV network, I'm trying to get seven and five Miami, eight and four USC.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That'll draw big TV ratings and USC's defense is terrible, so that would be a fun one.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, caleb Williams won't play, but really what?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: For Miami to win, whoever we play against, we need to get a team in the bowl that that can't stop the run because Emery Williams is hurt.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Tvd is in the portal.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: That means Jacuri Brown starting in the bowl.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, it's going to be that season where you really just not seeing the team that earned the bowl spot.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: You got a bunch of guys that are going to transfer, like, if you're not selling a lot of teams that you know if you don't make the playoff, they're going to not play in their bowl game.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's that type of season.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, Cam Kinshaw's, I'd be shocked if he played in the bowl game.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, James Williams probably won't play in the bowl game, Right?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Um, TVD obviously won't play in the bowl game, but I I really think a lot of our other guys, based on the youth that we have, and, and you know, the older guys like Colby Young and uh, and to Colby George, uh, they're not solidified in where they may get drafted, so they might come out and play to put some more, uh, put some more tape out there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, well, uh, justin, I appreciate you coming on.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's that seat, basketball season, so we'll probably be hearing from you a lot more.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, finally, man, we'll get into the real season that matter yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, but uh, we'll still.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: We still got the rankings coming up tonight.
