• 2:50
  So a lot to get into today, a lot with the college football.
• 2:54
  I will be going to the Heisman Trophy induction.
• 2:58
  So I I don't know what's going to happen, but it seems like
• 3:02
  Mendoza is the the favorite, the the full favorite now to winning
• 3:07
  the whole thing and as as well as he should after knocking off
• 3:11
  Ohio State. And we'll get into that just a
• 3:13
  few moments, which was it wasn't upset, but I don't know how much
• 3:16
  of an upset was it, But I it's been a crazy weekend.
• 3:21
  The weather's been back and forth and honestly, I actually
• 3:25
  like the weather because it's state it's been staying cold.
• 3:28
  But what I don't like about the weather is it it, it's it gets
• 3:32
  moisty in the air when it gets moisty in the air as yeah, I
• 3:35
  know, I knew Jabba was going to look at me and shake his head.
• 3:38
  But when it gets when it gets like that, obviously I I don't
• 3:44
  like, I don't like how cold it gets and foggy it gets at night.
• 3:48
  And I did an event over the weekend.
• 3:51
  I was in Queens and this hotel called the DoubleTree.
• 3:56
  I was DJ ING a runway show and I've never seen anything like
• 4:01
  it. Fans.
• 4:01
  Hey, does DoubleTree still have the cookies?
• 4:04
  I guess I didn't eat any of the cookies.
• 4:05
  I actually had their chicken fingers.
• 4:08
  So they they were giving away, they had food out for all the
• 4:12
  the people that were coming to the event.
• 4:14
  I actually had chicken fingers there.
• 4:16
  It was actually pretty good. Yes, I had honey mustard.
• 4:18
  How was their honey mustard? The honey mustard was really
• 4:20
  good actually. I actually enjoyed it.
• 4:23
  They had these cucumber sandwiches.
• 4:25
  I don't I'm not a big cucumber fan, so but everybody kept, you
• 4:29
  know, raving about the cucumber sandwiches.
• 4:31
  So I don't know, I guess it looked good, but it wasn't
• 4:35
  something that I would probably eat.
• 4:36
  But what was crazy about the event is they have this this
• 4:41
  room that they use so many like runway shows.
• 4:44
  They do all these different events in this one particular
• 4:47
  room, but there is no outlets. There was no outlets to plug in
• 4:53
  any of my equipment. So I had to run like a bunch of
• 4:59
  different, you know, outlet wires to different sections of
• 5:03
  the hotel because I had nowhere to plug my stuff.
• 5:07
  So it was horrible. And then when I was packing up
• 5:10
  at the end of the night, I parked my car on the side right
• 5:14
  by the room and somebody backed into my car.
• 5:18
  Somebody backed into my car left like a But you could tell that
• 5:22
  was like a couple of lines in my door.
• 5:25
  Thank God it didn't put any dents into it, but you could
• 5:28
  tell I had to get it buffed out on Sunday.
• 5:30
  It was horrible. And, and again, all you have to
• 5:33
  do is come right inside and say, I apologize, I bumped into your
• 5:37
  car. I probably by looking at it
• 5:39
  would have said, oh, nothing, a buff couldn't get out of it.
• 5:42
  Throw me a couple of bucks, I bring it to a professional and I
• 5:45
  would have been fine. But everybody here in New York,
• 5:48
  and I would say this, I wouldn't even just say New York
• 5:51
  everywhere you go, but it seems like every time somebody hits
• 5:55
  your car in New York, it's like, oh, it's OK, let's play bumper
• 5:58
  cars. That doesn't matter.
• 5:59
  It's it's just a car, you know. So unfortunately, my car, this
• 6:04
  was the second time in a week and a half my car's been hit.
• 6:08
  I was in a Barber shop. What was it a week and a half
• 6:11
  ago? And I come out and my bumper, my
• 6:15
  bumper, there was nothing wrong with my bumper, but my, my trunk
• 6:18
  was open. So I thought somebody robbed
• 6:20
  something. But it wasn't robbed.
• 6:23
  Nothing was robbed. I realized that my trunk
• 6:26
  couldn't close. So I, I'm looking at it, I'm,
• 6:29
  I'm trying to slam my trunk down.
• 6:31
  And then I realized that it was like pushed in at least two
• 6:35
  inches. So I had to go to my friend.
• 6:37
  He had to hammer it out. It was just, I mean, I thank God
• 6:40
  nothing happened to my bumper. So all these accidents that I
• 6:43
  was in or happened to me, I was not in the car and it's like a
• 6:49
  hit and run it it happens to me, only happens to me.
• 6:52
  I got bad luck job. I don't know what it is, but it
• 6:55
  just seems like when it rains, it pours when it comes to my
• 6:58
  car. And yeah.
• 6:59
  So that was a. That was a sign to get a new
• 7:01
  one. Well, the the fact is if you
• 7:05
  look at my car, my car and Speedy will tell you my car
• 7:07
  looks brand new. I take really good care of my
• 7:10
  car so it looks inside, the leather looks like honestly if
• 7:14
  you go into my car, it looks like a brand new car.
• 7:17
  It looks like right out of the showroom.
• 7:19
  I am OCD when it comes to taking care of my car and all that all
• 7:23
  that other stuff. But eventually I will get a new
• 7:26
  car. But even now, even with, with it
• 7:29
  getting bumped into twice, you wouldn't know the difference
• 7:31
  because again, I'm anal. So I had my friend bumper, you
• 7:35
  know, like buff it out on Sunday and he buffed everything out on
• 7:39
  the car so it looks brand new, shiny and all ready to go.
• 7:42
  But I just don't understand people.
• 7:45
  I just think people just don't. It's other people's property.
• 7:49
  Take care of it or at least come in.
• 7:50
  Then my friend who was doing the runway show, he, it was his, it
• 7:55
  was his clothing, clothing design.
• 7:57
  He comes out and he tells me, well, didn't somebody put their
• 8:01
  number right by your windshield wipers or something like that?
• 8:05
  Leave their information. I'm like, who does that have?
• 8:08
  Has anybody actually done that when they've hit your car,
• 8:12
  actually leave their? Information.
• 8:13
  I thought it happened. Before, really, it's never
• 8:15
  happened to me before, never seen that before.
• 8:18
  So I especially here in New York, if that happens in New
• 8:21
  York, it's like a miracle. I mean, Moses split the sea.
• 8:26
  I mean that kind of miracle that doesn't happen.
• 8:29
  So unfortunately I just have no luck whatsoever.
• 8:32
  So for any fans that park their car and put their hazards on,
• 8:37
  don't park it in front of a hotel if you want or you want
• 8:41
  you may. You're trying to make sure that
• 8:43
  your car doesn't get totaled or something happens to it.
• 8:45
  So I, I, I made that mistake. And boy, oh, boy, do I regret
• 8:49
  it. On Saturday night #2 Indiana
• 8:52
  upset #1 Ohio State 13 to 10 in the Big 10 Championship game to
• 8:58
  finish the regular season undefeated and as the undisputed
• 9:04
  number one overall seed in college football in the College
• 9:07
  Football Playoff. It was Indiana's first share of
• 9:11
  the Big 10 title since 1967 and the first time they won it on
• 9:16
  its own since 1945. They also ended a 32 game losing
• 9:23
  streak versus Ohio State, winning for the first time since
• 9:27
  1988. The Buckeyes star receiver
• 9:31
  Jeremiah Smith had a big game for Ohio State with eight
• 9:35
  catches for 144 yards. But Indiana contained the but
• 9:40
  the Buckeyes running game, holding them to only a total of
• 9:44
  69 yards in what was a defensive battle throughout the night.
• 9:48
  It was the special teams that hurt the Buckeyes in the end as
• 9:54
  their field goal kicker missed a chip shot 27 yard field goal to
• 9:59
  tie the game with under 3 minutes in the game after
• 10:04
  driving the field for the most for most of the 4th after
• 10:10
  outlasting Sayen and the Buckeyes, Fernando Mendoza is in
• 10:15
  the driver's seat for the Heisman Trophy at a -, 2500
• 10:20
  while Julie and Sayings odds tanked to plus 50,000 after the
• 10:26
  lost after the loss. Vanderbilt Diego Pavia is second
• 10:32
  in the odds at plus 1400 with Notre Dames running back Love,
• 10:38
  which is 3rd at 4:00. What is it, 40,000 + 40,000?
• 10:44
  Despite the loss, Ohio State still remains the number two in
• 10:48
  the College Football Playoff ranking and their only loss to
• 10:53
  #1 Indiana. Well, I pretty much made that
• 10:58
  prediction for the first two weeks of the season and I got to
• 11:02
  give a shout out to Josh Silverberg because he's been
• 11:04
  saying it all season long. That and those who's going to
• 11:06
  win the Heisman Trophy, what's interesting about the Heisman
• 11:11
  Trophy and, and, and these candidates and these guys
• 11:14
  fighting for the, the number one player of the nation for the
• 11:19
  season and for the year is really what they do through
• 11:24
  quarters. And every season has a quarter.
• 11:28
  There's the first half, a quarter, there's a second-half,
• 11:30
  a quarter, third, and then there's 4th at the end of the
• 11:32
  season. And Mendoza has been the most
• 11:35
  efficient out of all the players that we just made.
• 11:38
  We named the Buckeyes. Jeremiah Smith to me is one of
• 11:42
  the best players in the nation. But again, this is really the
• 11:46
  MVP usually goes to a quarterback.
• 11:48
  Last year it went to a quarterback.
• 11:50
  It doesn't usually happen like that.
• 11:53
  And and, and again, there were quarterbacks involved last year.
• 11:55
  Gabriel was a part of of the Heisman Trophy and then
• 11:59
  obviously Ward, Cam Ward who was the number one pick by the
• 12:02
  Titans. So it usually is a quarterback
• 12:06
  that wins the Heisman Trophy. But last year just there weren't
• 12:10
  as a fishing quarterbacks as there were this year and saying
• 12:14
  was sensational. It's not like saying is not
• 12:17
  going to get a chance to win another Heisman.
• 12:19
  Next year. He's a freshman.
• 12:21
  Next year he's going to be a sophomore and he has a chance to
• 12:23
  really erupt with Jeremiah Smith his final year over there with
• 12:27
  the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes have a great
• 12:29
  recruiting class once again and they're going to be up to
• 12:32
  winning another national championship and they still they
• 12:34
  could still win the national championship this year as
• 12:38
  they're probably heavy favorites still to win the national
• 12:41
  championship. And if I was Indiana, I probably
• 12:44
  wouldn't have wanted to wanted to win the Big 10 title and I
• 12:49
  would have just waited for, you know, the national championship.
• 12:53
  If I would have had to meet the Buckeyes again, that was where I
• 12:56
  would want to beat them because the Buckeyes are they don't
• 13:00
  usually first of all, they haven't lost the game all season
• 13:02
  long and now you got to play them a second time in a national
• 13:06
  championship game and beat them. I think the odds are against
• 13:10
  them and, and again, Mendoza's been sensational.
• 13:13
  When did Mendoza have one of those unbelievable games for for
• 13:18
  the Big 10 championship? No, again, his numbers weren't
• 13:22
  just like like 350 yards. He threw 3 touchdowns.
• 13:26
  The game was 13 to 10. It was won by a field goal.
• 13:30
  So it wasn't like Mendoza pulled off, pulled off all the stops
• 13:34
  and he was sensational and he did what you expected a Heisman
• 13:38
  Trophy winner to do. Because if you if you looked at
• 13:42
  the last five, four or five games of the tail end of the
• 13:45
  season and with Texas and what Arch Manning is doing, I that's
• 13:49
  a Heisman Trophy winner. Now, Arch is not up for a
• 13:52
  Heisman this year because he started very, very slow.
• 13:54
  Texas is not making the final twelve.
• 13:57
  He's not making the tournament. So it Arch is going to going to
• 14:01
  have a chance next year to to make another run for a Heisman
• 14:03
  Trophy. And so we'll say in who has is
• 14:06
  going to be back with the Buckeyes, back with day and and
• 14:10
  and back with one of the best defenses in in all of the
• 14:13
  country. But again, you look at this
• 14:16
  particular game and, and what really stood out is it was the
• 14:19
  battle of the two best teams in the nation.
• 14:22
  Both of them are Big 10 teams. And again, both teams are
• 14:26
  expected to make that run. You, you talk about and we're
• 14:30
  going to get in to the College Playoff and we're going to talk
• 14:33
  about Alabama sneaking in and all these other teams in order
• 14:36
  to ain't getting screwed. But you look at these Heisman
• 14:40
  Trophy candidates, Diego Pavia is going to he was one of the
• 14:44
  best quarterbacks in the nation this year.
• 14:46
  He was he was one of Vanderbilt. He was sensational all season
• 14:50
  long. The problem is he's not an NFL
• 14:52
  quarterback. He is probably not going to be
• 14:55
  drafted. And if he is, he's going to be a
• 14:57
  walk on for a team that's going to have him walk on.
• 15:00
  And maybe he makes team, maybe he doesn't.
• 15:02
  We've seen a lot of people, a lot of players not be drafted
• 15:05
  and their walk ONS and become either they make the team or
• 15:09
  they're they play on the practice team and then maybe
• 15:11
  they get called up. But the kid, the offensive
• 15:13
  tackle that played for the Chiefs last night, who came in,
• 15:16
  I think for Simpson, I don't know, Apulo, whatever.
• 15:19
  I I don't sue Yamada. What?
• 15:21
  Sue Yamada, it's going to be hard work for your friends.
• 15:24
  No, it wasn't Mata. Was it Mata?
• 15:26
  He was the right tackle they drafted last.
• 15:28
  Year. No, no, it was somebody else.
• 15:30
  He was undrafted. I came in with the Chiefs last
• 15:33
  night. Go look it up.
• 15:34
  He played very well against the Texans and he actually played
• 15:38
  for The Jets a little bit this year and then The Jets dropped
• 15:41
  him and the Chiefs brought him back.
• 15:42
  He was an undrafted player. I think his name's Puyo or
• 15:45
  something. I I don't know you could find
• 15:47
  that SAS. A.
• 15:48
  Polye, Polye, he came in. He actually played very well
• 15:51
  last night and he was an undrafted player and maybe the
• 15:57
  Chiefs found something with him. He was dropped, brought back,
• 15:59
  dropped again and then brought back again.
• 16:03
  I'm not saying Pavi is not going to be a competent quarterback in
• 16:06
  the NFLI. Don't know if he's his body
• 16:08
  structure and and the way he plays is going to fit in the
• 16:11
  NFL. He reminds me of Tim Tebow.
• 16:14
  That's what he reminds me of. Obviously a lot smaller than Tim
• 16:17
  Tebow. I think Pavia, if I'm not
• 16:19
  mistaken, he's 58. He's really, really small, thin
• 16:22
  too. And and he's got a good arm, but
• 16:25
  he he doesn't have one of those arms like Arch Manning does or
• 16:29
  even Mendoza. So I don't think he's got the
• 16:31
  ability to or the the athletic gifts that some of these guys
• 16:35
  have. And he definitely doesn't have
• 16:37
  the size to be an NFL quarterback, but he's been one
• 16:40
  of the best quarterbacks in the country all season long as as he
• 16:44
  should be on the top five for the Heisman.
• 16:47
  And then there's Notre Dame's running back Love, who has been
• 16:50
  one of the more explosive running backs in all of the
• 16:53
  nation. He will be in this year's draft
• 16:56
  could be a first round talent. Some people think he could be a
• 16:59
  late first round pick. I don't know if they have a
• 17:02
  running back like a Gibbs in this class where I'm going to,
• 17:06
  you know, obviously reach and and make that kind of move.
• 17:09
  But Love is going to be a guy that's going to be drafted very
• 17:13
  early in in this draft and he's an explosive player.
• 17:16
  He's probably one of the better running backs that we've seen
• 17:20
  come out of Notre Dame in the last 20 years.
• 17:22
  And I, I think what makes this, what makes this class very
• 17:26
  interesting is that there is not a guy that really stands out
• 17:31
  that you can really choose. And everybody says it's Mendoza
• 17:35
  because of this game and, and winning and knocking off the
• 17:38
  Ohio State Buckeyes the way he did.
• 17:40
  He didn't really show up in the game because he didn't put up
• 17:43
  those crazy numbers. But to me, there, there's no
• 17:47
  short thing in this class this year.
• 17:50
  I look at Sayon, he's a rookie, he's a freshman, the last
• 17:53
  freshman to win a Heisman. What was it?
• 17:55
  It was if I'm not Johnny Mandel, right?
• 17:58
  Johnny Manzel and then Tim Tebow was the last one before that.
• 18:00
  So Johnny Manzel was the last one to win a Heisman as a
• 18:04
  freshman. Sayon would have had to do like
• 18:07
  a significant amount to win. And I know a lot of people when
• 18:11
  they look at the Vegas and the voting, I I didn't think Sayon
• 18:14
  had any chance of winning the Heisman Trophy this year.
• 18:18
  I really didn't. I thought it was either going to
• 18:21
  be. I definitely thought Mendoza,
• 18:23
  even if Mendoza did not show up in this game, I thought Mendoza
• 18:27
  was a heavy favorite of winning the Heisman Trophy just because
• 18:30
  of what Indiana has done all season long.
• 18:33
  Indiana should not be the number two in the country.
• 18:35
  Now they're #1 because they knocked off the number one Ohio
• 18:38
  State Buckeyes. But I did not think that Indiana
• 18:42
  would have been a top five team this year and would have been
• 18:45
  really a favorite to winning, winning a national championship.
• 18:49
  And one of the main reasons why is their coach and Fernando
• 18:52
  Mendoza, who came honestly, Mendoza was good last year, but
• 18:56
  he came out of nowhere this year and really became a heavy
• 19:00
  favorite to be a Heisman Trophy winner with his arm strength,
• 19:03
  his his ability after at the end of games, making plays big play
• 19:07
  after big play. And he's he's really shown
• 19:09
  himself as as an elite quarterback in this class.
• 19:14
  Now, why are is he worth if the Giants are sitting there at 1?
• 19:19
  Is he worth a team jumping up if the Giants are willing to trade
• 19:23
  that first pick for for somebody to jump up to get Mendoza?
• 19:27
  Is is he worth 2 first round draft picks or three first round
• 19:31
  draft picks? I don't know.
• 19:33
  I don't know if he's worth that kind of that, that kind of chump
• 19:36
  change. So I, I just, I, I look at the
• 19:39
  situation at Mendoza and I think Mendoza, I know a lot of Jeff
• 19:42
  fans want Mendoza. I've been, I've been reading all
• 19:45
  these different stories like we'd give up.
• 19:48
  I give up all the draft picks that they that Jets traded for
• 19:51
  when it came to source Gardner to land Mendoza.
• 19:54
  I would not do that as good as Mendoza looks and as good as
• 19:58
  he's been all season long. Mendoza, the NFL look, Shidor
• 20:02
  Sanders, say whatever you want. Shidor Sanders was a competent
• 20:05
  quarterback in college football. He was he was competent.
• 20:08
  He was a good quarterback. And and look how long it took
• 20:10
  Caleb Williams to figure things out.
• 20:13
  Are you willing to do those kind of things to to move up like
• 20:17
  look Justin Fields? I if I'm not mistaken, Chicago
• 20:21
  made a trade with the Giants and moved up and and traded I think
• 20:25
  2:00 first rounds. Two first round picks that
• 20:26
  became Canarias Tony and Evan Neal.
• 20:28
  I'm just saying it doesn't matter who was I know was he
• 20:31
  worked two first round draft picks.
• 20:33
  He wasn't. You got to be very careful on
• 20:36
  trading away your future for a quarterback you're still kind of
• 20:40
  iffy with. Now he's got the ability.
• 20:43
  He reminds me of, and I'm going to say this reminds me of Joe
• 20:46
  Burrow. He's a pocket present
• 20:48
  quarterback. He has some kind of footwork
• 20:51
  outside of the pocket, but he's not a mobile quarterback.
• 20:54
  And the game has changed. Now the game is completely
• 20:57
  different. You have to be a dual threat
• 21:00
  quarterback to succeed in the league.
• 21:02
  Now. You really do.
• 21:04
  I mean, when you look at the guys that aren't in the league
• 21:07
  that are, are in the league now that aren't dual threats, how
• 21:10
  many have been successful? How many are successful right
• 21:13
  now? I I mean, right now, Matthew
• 21:15
  Stafford, Jared Goff, there aren't really a lot of
• 21:21
  quarterbacks that are in the NFL today that are not dual threats.
• 21:27
  And that's Mendoza. Mendoza, I don't, I, I know
• 21:30
  everybody says, well, he's got footwork, but he's not
• 21:33
  considered a mobile quarterback. So that you're, if you're a team
• 21:37
  like Vegas or The Jets or the Saints and you're, you're going
• 21:43
  to make a, you know, make a choice on who your future
• 21:47
  quarterback's going to be for the next 5 to 10 years.
• 21:50
  You got to be very sure and very careful on making a move and,
• 21:54
  and putting all your eggs in the Mendoza basket.
• 21:58
  And I don't care what any Jet fan says.
• 22:00
  The Jets have made enough mistakes over the years with
• 22:02
  Zach Wilson. I wouldn't say the guy over
• 22:05
  there in Seattle's a mistake, but it took him Sam Donald.
• 22:07
  It took Sam a little bit longer than usual for a quarterback to
• 22:11
  develop. Gino 5th took him a while to
• 22:13
  develop and Gino's like been up and down in his career.
• 22:16
  We could go on it. Christian Hackenberg, you have
• 22:19
  to be damn sure if you're going to jump and I don't know where
• 22:22
  The Jets are going to end up picking.
• 22:24
  They could be 5th. It depends on how how the rest
• 22:28
  of the season lands for them. They have four games left.
• 22:31
  There's a good chance they don't win any of those games because
• 22:33
  they're going to be starting Cook.
• 22:35
  So where will The Jets be drafting at 547?
• 22:40
  Wherever they, wherever they start to, you know, simmer to to
• 22:44
  fall into. Are The Jets willing at #5 to
• 22:49
  move up to one with the Giants or move up to two to jump Vegas
• 22:53
  or the Saints to land Mendoza and give up a significant type
• 22:57
  of, you know, amount of picks to get that type of quarterback?
• 23:01
  I I don't know if I would do that.
• 23:02
  So that's that to me is what I look at it at this Heisman class
• 23:07
  and, and where I look at with the national championship.
• 23:10
  Mendoza has a lot of pressure on him because now a lot of people
• 23:15
  believe after what he did and what Indiana did to the Buckeyes
• 23:19
  on national television, knocking the number one scene where
• 23:22
  everybody thought the Buckeyes were going into this tournament
• 23:24
  undefeated. A lot of people thought the
• 23:26
  Buckeyes were going to be undefeated all season all the
• 23:30
  way into the national championship because of the
• 23:32
  talent that they have right now, the Buckeyes are considered,
• 23:36
  they are considered to have the most talent going into this
• 23:40
  class of the NFL draft. As a matter of fact, there is a
• 23:43
  prediction that 7 of their defensive and offensive players
• 23:48
  will be drafted in the first round 7.
• 23:52
  So just think about that. And the Buckeyes, their class
• 23:56
  next year, I mean, their recruiting class is one of the
• 23:58
  top three in the nation. So and Sagan is a freshman.
• 24:02
  He's going to be up there again for a Heisman Trophy next year
• 24:05
  if he stays healthy. So I, I, I mean, I, I watch bits
• 24:09
  and pieces of the game. I, I watched the kicks and, and
• 24:12
  I, and again, this was really, it was a battle of defenses in
• 24:17
  Indiana, who's been very good defensively all season long.
• 24:20
  I, I was impressed with the way they defended the Buckeyes.
• 24:25
  They couldn't stop Jeremiah Smith and nobody can stop
• 24:28
  Jeremiah Smith. He's the best wide receiver
• 24:30
  we've seen come out over the last 10 years.
• 24:32
  And everybody was talking about, obviously there was a former son
• 24:36
  of a former great player that came from the Buckeyes who went
• 24:40
  to Arizona recently. What was it 2 years ago?
• 24:43
  And really hasn't really amounted to anything.
• 24:46
  And maybe he's with the wrong team, maybe gets traded in the
• 24:48
  future. But Jeremiah Smith is a better
• 24:51
  prospect than he is. So think about it.
• 24:54
  Think about this. If you look at the prospects and
• 24:57
  the wide receiving talent that have come out of the Ohio State
• 25:00
  Buckeyes over the years, Garrett Wilson with the New York Jets, I
• 25:03
  mean, you could go on and on and on.
• 25:04
  They're saying that this guy is the best one out of all of them.
• 25:08
  So I don't think anybody in the country can stop this guy.
• 25:11
  And you saw it on national television.
• 25:14
  And you're going to need Jeremiah Smith in this
• 25:16
  tournament because if Jeremiah Smith cannot put up significant
• 25:21
  numbers against these elite defenses, it's going to be a
• 25:24
  very short tournament for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 25:27
  It's interesting because I think Indiana definitely has that vibe
• 25:30
  that you saw with the Florida basketball team last year or
• 25:33
  they're new, like do they really belong or there's questions
• 25:36
  about that kind of thing. And the way Indiana was kind of
• 25:38
  struggling down the stretch with Wisconsin was covering on them.
• 25:42
  W was right about that. Penn State played them very
• 25:44
  close, almost beat them with an interim coach and like they
• 25:47
  didn't look great in a lot of instances.
• 25:48
  It took them a while to get going and in like the
• 25:50
  second-half of a lot of these games, whereas Ohio State, it
• 25:53
  seemed like they weren't losing a beat.
• 25:54
  They they were not only winning, they felt like they were never
• 25:57
  tested at all. And now they actually got tested
• 25:59
  and it felt like Indiana was just more ballot tested for that
• 26:01
  kind of thing. And Mendoza was more experienced
• 26:04
  as a starting quarterback. Like you said, this is probably
• 26:05
  his first year as you kind of think of as an elite college
• 26:08
  quarterback, but he was always good before that in compared to
• 26:10
  saying who maybe wasn't ready for that kind of adversity type
• 26:13
  moment yet because the black eyes have been blowing everybody
• 26:16
  out. Jeremiah Smith is going to be
• 26:18
  like the generational talent, a wide receiver.
• 26:20
  And then you got Carnell Tate who Fish was mentioning last
• 26:23
  week. Probably will be a mid first
• 26:24
  round. Pick they're saying next year's
• 26:26
  class of talent is so much better than it is this year.
• 26:29
  That's what they're saying, but they say that all the time.
• 26:32
  I remember with the, the Sauce Gardner draft, everybody says,
• 26:36
  oh, the class is up and it's down and there's not enough
• 26:39
  talent in this class. And, and if you look at the
• 26:41
  talent that was drafted in the first and second round, it's
• 26:44
  pretty damn good. I, I don't know if I'm going to
• 26:46
  judge by what all the experts are saying, we Mel Kiper has
• 26:49
  been wrong since 1962. I mean, the guy's always wrong,
• 26:53
  so. You're supposed to retire
• 26:54
  because Jimmy Clausen wasn't a good NFL quarterback.
• 26:56
  Yeah. So I'm not going to trust these,
• 26:58
  quote UN quote, college experts. What I will say about what I've
• 27:03
  seen this year when it comes to the open fight for this Heisman
• 27:07
  is that it's been so very close. Last year I thought Gente should
• 27:12
  have been the runaway champion, the Heisman Trophy winner.
• 27:15
  He was by far the best player in the country all season long.
• 27:18
  But they gave it to the gremlin because he's a dual thread.
• 27:21
  He's a Deon Sanders guy and he was the spicy pick.
• 27:25
  And that's what that's what it felt like when I went to the
• 27:27
  Heisman Trophy last year. It just felt like everybody was
• 27:30
  talking about him when he came in, everybody was flocking to
• 27:34
  him. Meanwhile, Ashton Gente was
• 27:36
  putting up numbers. We haven't seen a Boise State
• 27:38
  running back do ever. I mean, he we've never seen a
• 27:41
  Boise State running back do what he did last year.
• 27:44
  So I, I just, and, and we seen it.
• 27:46
  When Gente is healthy, we see how explosive he could be with
• 27:49
  Vegas and now Vegas sitting pretty at 2:00.
• 27:53
  If this ends up the way it is, guess where Mendoza is going?
• 27:57
  He's going. So you have a guy that was
• 28:00
  runner up for the Heisman last year and then you have the guy
• 28:02
  that could win the Heisman this year go playing for the same
• 28:05
  team. Yeah, and then you have Brock
• 28:06
  Bowers who won whatever award that the tight ends getting in
• 28:09
  college too. I think he won it twice because
• 28:11
  he was that good. And you look at you were talking
• 28:13
  about the Heisman too. You look at some of the Heisman
• 28:15
  races in the past too, and how much adversity that carries into
• 28:18
  the College Football Playoff or carries into bigger games too.
• 28:20
  You saw Genti, after he didn't win the Heisman, struggle in
• 28:23
  that playoff game against Penn State.
• 28:25
  And Penn State is a very good defense.
• 28:26
  But you look at some of those races that just definitely
• 28:29
  affect them. And Mendoza was not fazed by
• 28:31
  that kind of thing at all. Whereas numbers eye popping in
• 28:33
  this game. No, it was a defensive duel that
• 28:35
  Indiana won with their defense. They won with their running game
• 28:37
  more. But besides that one,
• 28:38
  Interception didn't make a lot of mistakes.
• 28:40
  He just think Indiana's defense outplayed Ohio State's defense,
• 28:43
  right? And that's the crazy thing
• 28:45
  because Ohio State has been the best defense, you can argue one
• 28:49
  of the top three defenses in the country all season long.
• 28:52
  And when you look at their schedule, Ohio State had a very,
• 28:55
  very difficult schedule. I'm not saying Indiana didn't,
• 28:57
  but Indiana's schedule was much easier than the Ohio State
• 29:00
  Buckeyes. And, and that's the thing about
• 29:02
  the Buckeyes and, and, and to me, the Buckeyes are always
• 29:05
  matched up against the great teams, the SEC and you want to
• 29:09
  see that's what that's what day wants to do.
• 29:11
  Day one day is a cocky coach. Anybody that knows the way the
• 29:16
  Ohio State Buckeyes play and, and the way they like to, you
• 29:19
  know, depress and, and, and the way they play the, the game,
• 29:22
  their style of game that Ryan Day is, is one of those guys
• 29:26
  that you can't stand because he loves playing against the best.
• 29:29
  He loves flossing, flossing and tossing and doing all the stuff
• 29:34
  on the football field that you just can't stand watching a
• 29:37
  coach do. He's that kind of guy.
• 29:39
  He's an unlikable guy, but a lot of his players are elite
• 29:43
  players. They're they're some of the best
• 29:45
  in the in the world, in the country.
• 29:47
  And, and you want to see the Buckeyes play in those big
• 29:49
  games, but you don't want to see Ryan Day because because every
• 29:52
  time you look at Ryan Day, you want to pop him in the damn face
• 29:55
  with his stupid smirking and he's dancing and prancing around
• 29:58
  at the end of the game. And, and another thing about
• 30:00
  Ryan Day that I just, I can't stand after Indiana won and they
• 30:04
  won the game and they, you know how they meet in the middle of
• 30:06
  the field, you would think that you're to be a little bit more
• 30:10
  gracious to the coaching staff with Indiana.
• 30:13
  It looked like he didn't even want to be there.
• 30:14
  He didn't even want to meet him in the middle of the field.
• 30:17
  And, and to me, it's just a sore loser.
• 30:19
  Ryan Day is a sore loser and he knows there's a very good chance
• 30:23
  they could meet in the national championship game.
• 30:26
  Are you saying that Ryan Day is the Nick Siriani of college?
• 30:29
  Football, I think he's he to me. I can't stand.
• 30:32
  I can't say. Everybody keeps talking about
• 30:34
  Lane Kiffin. How big of a Dick Lane Kiffin
• 30:37
  is. I would say that more about Ryan
• 30:38
  Day. I've heard enough stories about
• 30:40
  Ryan Day on and off the field that would probably scratch your
• 30:44
  head as a head coach. This is this is a coach.
• 30:47
  You never heard Ryan or Lane Kiffin try to stop any protests,
• 30:50
  yet they even encourage them when they, well, missed.
• 30:52
  Students were throwing those eggs on the field against
• 30:54
  Tennessee. You know, Ryan Day has this
• 30:57
  powerhouse of a recruiting job at the receiver position.
• 31:01
  You said it dating back to even before Garrett Wilson.
• 31:05
  They've just been getting everybody.
• 31:07
  Smith is better than all of them.
• 31:08
  Smith reminds me of Julio Jones. We're talking like that, like
• 31:12
  that level talent coming out. He's unguardable.
• 31:16
  So you got to put two, sometimes three guys, often three guys, at
• 31:21
  least an extra linebacker playing underneath coverage in
• 31:23
  his way on every single play. And then you have Carnell Tate
• 31:27
  on the opposite side, who's in the middle of.
• 31:29
  The It's not fair. It really isn't.
• 31:31
  It's not particularly fair. It makes it pretty easy for
• 31:33
  saying so. You got to give a lot of credit
• 31:35
  to Indiana defense for hanging with those guys and confusing
• 31:39
  the freshman with some of their coverages.
• 31:41
  There was an interception early in the game where the safety
• 31:44
  rolled back like he was playing deep third cup, deep middle
• 31:47
  coverage and then jumped it on like a like a robber situation
• 31:51
  that you just don't really see very often.
• 31:53
  That type of disguise level and it completely fooled him and he
• 31:57
  got an interception. It was like a big, big play in
• 31:59
  the early in the game. It's really impressive how
• 32:02
  they've coached and I think that's the big thing about
• 32:05
  Indiana. Signetti's unbelievable.
• 32:07
  The guy's never lost anywhere he's been.
• 32:10
  He's the guy that took James Madison into.
• 32:12
  Now they're in the College Football Playoff.
• 32:14
  We'll talk about them in a little bit.
• 32:15
  It's only they're only FBS for the second year right now.
• 32:18
  Yeah, he was there, FCS to FBS. I think he had 9 losses, like 50
• 32:23
  something wins while he was there.
• 32:24
  Indiana gets him immediately in the playoff first year and now
• 32:27
  they're #1 undefeated and he and he's holding this trophy up over
• 32:31
  Ohio State in our graphic. It's unbelievable he did that.
• 32:35
  That being said, they didn't miss that Bunny of a kick.
• 32:39
  It should have been tied and I think it's going to be a little
• 32:42
  different. They see each other again.
• 32:43
  I wish we, I really hope we get that.
• 32:45
  I don't. I don't know if we are.
• 32:47
  And that, that's the thing. A lot of things would have to go
• 32:49
  right, you know. You don't expect Ohio State's,
• 32:52
  if they meet Indiana in the national championship, to lose
• 32:56
  back-to-back times against the an Indiana team that's great.
• 33:01
  They're a great team. They've been sensational all
• 33:03
  season long. The Buckeyes haven't lost the
• 33:06
  Game all season long, and their schedule was one of the hardest
• 33:08
  schedules in the nation all season long.
• 33:11
  Indiana. So why'd they lose to Mendoza?
• 33:14
  I think they didn't. Lose to anybody else and again I
• 33:16
  have a theory on it. I look at Mendoza's numbers.
• 33:19
  They didn't really pop out at you.
• 33:20
  I mean, he didn't throw off the numbers.
• 33:21
  No, it's not going to. Be the numbers, they're too
• 33:24
  good. Have anyone put up numbers on
• 33:26
  them? I don't watch the tape though.
• 33:28
  Every single throw is on the money in a place where only his
• 33:32
  guy can catch it every single time.
• 33:36
  It's unbelievable. The back shoulder throws, the
• 33:39
  Aaron Rodgers type of throws. Now you talk about Caleb
• 33:43
  Williams being able to throw on the move.
• 33:45
  That's that's one part of Aaron Rodgers game.
• 33:46
  But the best part of Aaron Rodgers game when he was going
• 33:50
  good with Devante Adams was they were just running streaks and
• 33:53
  Devante Adams would come back on it on a on a back shoulder
• 33:56
  throw. The defender can't stop it like
• 34:00
  they can't. It's not possible because he's
• 34:02
  not even turned looking for the ball.
• 34:04
  They just have that timing. And Mendoza can do that with
• 34:08
  receivers who are not as good as the corners and secondary
• 34:11
  players for the most part, at least on Ohio State and that
• 34:16
  type, it's like, you know, like a good shooter is going to be.
• 34:18
  I also in basketball. I also believe the Buckeyes,
• 34:21
  especially in the fourth quarter, made some mistakes
• 34:23
  defensively. They zoned a little bit too much
• 34:27
  against Mendoza and Mendoza when when you zone against Mendoza,
• 34:30
  he is going to attack you and, and the good ones know how to
• 34:33
  attack man and they know how to attack zone.
• 34:36
  And Mendoza is great. He's a good quarterback.
• 34:38
  I just don't know if I'm The Jets and I'm sitting there at
• 34:42
  5:00, AM I willing to trade up all the way from 5:00 to 1:00 to
• 34:47
  land Mendoza and give up three first round draft picks for
• 34:50
  Mendoza and and then strike out like they've struck out all the
• 34:54
  time over the last 50 years? I would say no, I'm not doing
• 34:58
  that. I'm not putting my future on the
• 35:00
  line unless I'm damn sure. Mendoza is absolutely a slam
• 35:04
  dunk of a player and I don't know if he is as good as he's
• 35:08
  been this year, as accurate as he's been.
• 35:10
  I don't know if I'm betting on that.
• 35:11
  Maybe if you're a team, you look at back who could be a third
• 35:15
  round talent and that's where they saying he could land
• 35:17
  second, third round, late second, early, third round draft
• 35:21
  pick. Maybe there'll be teams more
• 35:23
  interested in Beck because you're not going to have to give
• 35:25
  up much to get back. And Beck could actually be one
• 35:30
  of those guys that could be an elite, an elite player in the
• 35:33
  NFL if he goes to the right place and he gets developed the
• 35:36
  right way. So I don't know if, and again,
• 35:39
  Mendoza has all the qualities you want of a star quarterback.
• 35:43
  Again, I'll go back to what he reminds me of.
• 35:45
  He reminds me of Joe Burrow. He he really does.
• 35:48
  And guess, guess what, Joe Burrow went first of all, who
• 35:52
  recruited Joe Burrow? Ohio State, right.
• 35:55
  And anyone to LSU and anyone in national championship.
• 35:57
  He went from a nobody to a somebody and then breaking
• 36:00
  records. And then he was the number one
• 36:02
  pick of the first round. And you see what he type of
• 36:04
  player he is. And then you look at Mendoza,
• 36:07
  Indiana, who did Indiana just knock off to to, to be the
• 36:10
  number one seed and and go into the final 12 as the number one
• 36:14
  seed, the Ohio State Buckeyes. So I again, I don't know if it's
• 36:19
  a quinky dink, but it reminds me a lot.
• 36:21
  Not he reminds me Mendoza, Fernando Mendoza reminds me of a
• 36:26
  younger version of Joe Burrow. Now I, I, I don't know if he's
• 36:30
  Joe Burrow because a lot of people were questioning when Joe
• 36:33
  Burrow came into the NFL. They were, they were wondering
• 36:36
  if his skill would fit in the NFL.
• 36:38
  That style of skill would fit in the NFL because he wasn't quote
• 36:41
  UN quote, a mobile quarterback and we're just talking about it.
• 36:44
  And everyone was pushing his hand size too.
• 36:47
  That's true too. But I was talking about mobile
• 36:49
  quarterbacks that have been successful.
• 36:51
  One, mobile quarterbacks that have been successful in the NFL
• 36:55
  over the last couple of years. And even though Joe Burrow would
• 36:57
  tell you, wait a second, I'm a dual threat, I could still run.
• 37:01
  He is not considered a mobile quarterback.
• 37:03
  He's considered a pocket pressing quarterback.
• 37:06
  And that's where when you look at all these scouts and you
• 37:09
  you're going to when the combine comes around and he does his
• 37:13
  interview, where everybody's going to consider what type of
• 37:16
  player Mendoza is going to be in the NFL.
• 37:19
  They're going to say, well, he is a pocket quarterback back.
• 37:22
  He has mobile ability, but he's not considered a dual threat.
• 37:26
  And that would scare A-Team, especially some of these young
• 37:29
  coaches, AKA the New York Giants, says Fish wants a young
• 37:32
  coach to be brought in to be coaching the team.
• 37:36
  Are you willing? I mean, look, Jackson Dart, he's
• 37:38
  a mobile quarterback. He's considered mobile first
• 37:41
  before throw. So and, and now he's he's
• 37:44
  figuring things out as a throwing quarterback.
• 37:47
  You you're always looking for that dual threat type of player
• 37:50
  if you want these guys to succeed in the NF.
• 37:52
  I don't think Mendoza is that type of player.
• 37:55
  Now, that doesn't mean it won't work.
• 37:56
  He's got to go to the right team, the right organization.
• 37:59
  Is Vegas the right organization for Mendoza?
• 38:02
  Is The Jets the right organization or the Browns or
• 38:05
  any of those guys? No.
• 38:07
  You want Mendoza to sit for one season on the bench, learn
• 38:12
  behind a quarterback so the next year he'll be ready to take over
• 38:15
  as the star quarterback of that franchise.
• 38:18
  I don't know if Vegas is going to do that.
• 38:20
  I know damn well that The Jets better do that.
• 38:23
  Whoever they bring in, whoever they decide they bring in, even
• 38:27
  in the first round or the fourth round or even next year, you
• 38:30
  have to be very careful. And you got to you got to coddle
• 38:33
  these guys. And I don't know if Mendoza in
• 38:35
  the position that he's in right now, if he's going to be
• 38:38
  coddled. And and that's the thing, there
• 38:40
  is a guy that stands out to me where he he looks like he's
• 38:44
  falling in this class. And you know where I'm going,
• 38:47
  Sellers, he is falling in this class just like Lamar Jackson
• 38:52
  fell in that Josh Allen draft and Lamar went he was the final
• 38:57
  pick of the first round that that that year.
• 39:00
  And he's, you can argue the best quarterback in that class.
• 39:03
  And when you go back and you look at that class of
• 39:06
  quarterbacks, he wasn't even considered.
• 39:08
  So now you're looking at guys like that where I'm I'm, I'm
• 39:12
  trying to compare in the comparison to that.
• 39:14
  That's where I'm comparing this. And, and to me, sellers is
• 39:18
  falling and he's dropping. Sellers could be the best
• 39:21
  quarterback in this class It's crazy.
• 39:23
  It's very, very easily could cause a lot of the questions
• 39:26
  that we had with Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts as well at the
• 39:28
  time. He was looked at as a Heisman
• 39:30
  candidate this year right before the season started.
• 39:32
  Sure. He's not even spoken about it
• 39:34
  because he can't say healthy. Yeah.
• 39:35
  And also like you're you're questioning like the throwing
• 39:37
  abilities with him the same way with a lot of these like dual
• 39:40
  threat running type quarterbacks.
• 39:41
  So you're looking for more of those like teams today are
• 39:44
  looking for more of those Josh Allen types.
• 39:45
  But since Lamar Jackson got really elite the way they have
• 39:49
  more of those other types are are coming out now or they're
• 39:51
  going to rise. And you were talking about like
• 39:53
  whether the team should trade up for this this quarterback class
• 39:55
  too. Like also remember, like you'll
• 39:57
  have Arch next year. You'll probably have some other
• 39:59
  guys that didn't play well this year that could come back.
• 40:01
  Maybe Nussmeyer comes back with Layton Kiffin at LSU.
• 40:04
  Maybe you could look at Club Nick at Clemson.
• 40:07
  You're going to have a lot of others and then you have other
• 40:08
  ones that. Bring us Meyer is going in the
• 40:10
  draft. Yeah, but again, you're not
• 40:12
  going to have to trade up for him for that kind of thing.
• 40:14
  I'm the jet. You probably just wait.
• 40:15
  On that, I think Nuss Meyer is smacking himself in the head
• 40:18
  right now that he should have went into last year's draft
• 40:20
  because he was a top ten pick and now all of a sudden Nuss
• 40:24
  Meyer might even fall out of the first round.
• 40:26
  He might be a second round Allen.
• 40:27
  He's made some really bad decisions this year in the
• 40:30
  football. It's like hard to get past how
• 40:32
  boneheaded he's been. It gives you like those like
• 40:37
  stuff that they didn't like about Sam Darnold when he came
• 40:39
  out. You know that he would just
• 40:40
  throw it up in the middle of the field and do this dumb stuff.
• 40:44
  Sellers, I would be surprised if he comes out this year.
• 40:46
  I think he's going to transfer that.
• 40:48
  Look, you, you don't want to say it's bad to be loyal to a
• 40:55
  school, but in the NIL world, Sellers went back and they were
• 41:00
  bad and it ruined his draft stock this year.
• 41:03
  And he should have transferred or he should have came, you
• 41:06
  know, like he really shouldn't have stayed there.
• 41:08
  It was a mistake. It was a huge mistake by him.
• 41:12
  So now he has to make a choice. Does he come out and get taken
• 41:15
  in the second round as a project?
• 41:17
  Like Jalen Hertz was taken in the second round because they
• 41:20
  didn't think he was a complete player.
• 41:22
  But Hertz had no more eligibility.
• 41:24
  This kid does. Or do you go back, get the
• 41:26
  transfer money, which is probably better than you're
• 41:29
  going to see as a second round pick, and see if you can't get
• 41:33
  back into that top five conversation that next year's
• 41:36
  draft? The final College Football
• 41:38
  Playoff rankings were released on Sunday and the committees
• 41:42
  decision was a shocker from some teams on the bubble.
• 41:46
  The top of the ranking stayed pretty much as expected with the
• 41:51
  four teams receiving byes which were #1 Indiana #2 Ohio State,
• 41:58
  SEC champions #3 Georgia and Big 12 champion Texas Tech, which is
• 42:05
  number 4. The home teams for the first
• 42:09
  round of the playoffs will be #5 Oregon #6 Old miss #7, Texas A&M
• 42:16
  and #8 Oklahoma. These also were pretty much
• 42:21
  decided once Alabama lost to Georgia.
• 42:24
  What happened with the last four teams shocked the entire college
• 42:28
  football world. Taking on organ at #12 James
• 42:33
  James Madison University. Who makes it makes it because
• 42:38
  unranked Duke beat Virginia for the ACC champion title, putting
• 42:44
  the Sunbelt champ into the 20 old miss without Lane Kiffin.
• 42:50
  And half the coaching staff will take on, I'm sorry, American
• 42:54
  Athletic Conference AAC champion #11 Tulane with coach John
• 43:01
  Sumrall, who is leaving to coach Florida next year but will coach
• 43:06
  in the playoffs #7 Texas A&M takes on my #10 Miami and #8
• 43:13
  Oklahoma takes on #9 Alabama. Right before the College Play
• 43:19
  Playoff announcement, Notre Dame was listed as a -. 2000 favorite
• 43:25
  to make the tournament. They did not make it.
• 43:28
  The committee surprised every everyone and didn't hold
• 43:32
  Alabama's early season loss to five and seven, five and seven,
• 43:37
  Florida State or Georgia, blasting them 28 to 7 in the SEC
• 43:41
  Championship game for the third for their third loss against
• 43:46
  them. Miami lost to unranked
• 43:48
  Louisville and SMU, which Miami was expected to make.
• 43:52
  I believe that. I don't think Miami doesn't make
• 43:56
  it unless some catastrophical thing happens.
• 43:59
  I I was very surprised Alabama got it.
• 44:02
  Very surprised. The only way I thought Alabama
• 44:05
  was getting in is if they knocked off Georgia or made the
• 44:07
  game so very close that it really went down to the wire and
• 44:11
  challenged Georgia all the way to the end.
• 44:14
  They got their butts whipped 28 to 7 by Georgia.
• 44:18
  It it they shouldn't have been on the same field as the Georgia
• 44:21
  Bulldogs. They really shouldn't have.
• 44:24
  And that's that was the surprising thing that happened
• 44:27
  on Saturday when I was DJ ING at that runway show is watching
• 44:32
  Alabama get their butts whipped on national television.
• 44:36
  But the fact that Notre Dame love is one of the best, more
• 44:40
  prolific, top talented offensive players we've seen all season
• 44:44
  long. The running back who everybody
• 44:46
  expects to be a top end player, one of the better offensive
• 44:49
  players coming out of this class and, and to not see him play for
• 44:55
  maybe a national championship this year or even fight for a
• 44:57
  national championship. And we're we're talking about
• 45:00
  him up for a Heisman Trophy. To not see this guy, this kid,
• 45:05
  it to me, it's just absolutely appalling.
• 45:07
  You know, if you remember Boise State last year and they had
• 45:11
  Gente and and Boise State, I think they made it to the final
• 45:14
  12. Yeah, they were the number three
• 45:15
  seed. Yeah, they and they, they got
• 45:17
  knocked out pretty quick in the tournament.
• 45:19
  I don't know if Notre Dame would have wherever they would have
• 45:22
  matched against if they whoever they put them against, and I
• 45:26
  don't know how they would have been seeded, but whoever they
• 45:28
  matched against, I don't know. Unless they were matching
• 45:31
  against James Madison or one of these guys, which they probably
• 45:33
  wouldn't have. They would have been one against
• 45:35
  one of these more ranked teams like Texas A&M or whoever.
• 45:39
  They probably lose. They probably lose, but I would
• 45:42
  probably rather watched Love and Notre Dame play, especially how
• 45:47
  well they played all season long.
• 45:48
  What did they they lose 1 game this year?
• 45:51
  They lost twice until I combined 4 points.
• 45:53
  OK. So they lost twice this year and
• 45:56
  I would have rather seen them than James Madison or Tulane.
• 46:00
  And I'm not I'm not taking shots at Tulane.
• 46:02
  Tulane's had a sensational year. They won their their
• 46:04
  championship. So I'm not going to I'm not
• 46:07
  going to say that Tulane doesn't deserve to be there.
• 46:09
  That coach is going to coach Florida next year.
• 46:12
  What are the better SEC teams in the country.
• 46:14
  So, and he's going to get itself a nice recruiting class, but my,
• 46:19
  my problem here and, and the way they judge us and I, I was
• 46:22
  looking at how they, they judge who gets who gets into this
• 46:26
  tournament. So I'm going to read this to you
• 46:28
  guys. You tell me if Notre Dame
• 46:31
  doesn't fit all these things. So they say beyond they look at
• 46:36
  beyond strength of the schedule. The committee's 12 core metrics
• 46:39
  for comparing teams remain remaining the same.
• 46:43
  CFP officials say that these measures are the most impactful
• 46:49
  when separating teams. Relative scoring offenses The
• 46:54
  percentage of offensive points scored compared to the
• 46:58
  opponent's averaging scoring defenses.
• 47:01
  Relative scoring defenses. Percentages of defensive points
• 47:06
  allowed compared to the opponent's average scoring
• 47:10
  offense, Relative total offense percentages of offensive yards
• 47:16
  gained compared to opponents average and relative total
• 47:21
  defense Percentage of defensive yards allowed compared to
• 47:26
  opponents averages. So there you look at these, I
• 47:31
  guess statistics and metrics on how they compare these teams and
• 47:36
  how they believe the committee believes they should make the
• 47:40
  final 12th. Now I don't know what all this
• 47:43
  means. I'm I'm not going to tell you
• 47:45
  that I do know what it means. I think fish, as far as I'm
• 47:48
  concerned, being that he's the economics major or even speedy
• 47:51
  with his his analytics would probably understand how to
• 47:54
  explain that. What I do know is I look at the
• 47:57
  eye test and the eye test tells me that Notre Dame to me in
• 48:04
  their conference or one of the top two teams in their in their
• 48:08
  conference and one of the top 12 teams in the country all season
• 48:11
  long. Alabama was not.
• 48:15
  Alabama shouldn't have made it. And I understand the committee.
• 48:18
  They look at Alabama, this is not Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson
• 48:22
  Tide. Now they have a great recruiting
• 48:24
  class. They're going to have guys that
• 48:26
  are going to be drafted in the first and second and third
• 48:28
  round. They're they have, they've
• 48:30
  always had that background. They've won how many national
• 48:32
  championships, 5-6 national championships with Nick Saban?
• 48:36
  That's great. This isn't Nick Saban's team and
• 48:38
  this is not the same Alabama team we've seen over the years
• 48:42
  with Nick Saban. But again, the committee looks
• 48:45
  at Alabama is the same team every single year for some
• 48:48
  reason. They look past what they've done
• 48:51
  all season long and they did not deserve to make the final 12th.
• 48:55
  They did not. I don't care what anybody says.
• 48:57
  They did not even really challenge Georgia in that SEC
• 49:02
  championship game. And to me, when you look at that
• 49:06
  and you look at when, and I know everybody looks like these
• 49:08
  points in the system of the metrics and everything like
• 49:10
  that, you're going in your conference championship game and
• 49:13
  you're measured against the team that's making it.
• 49:16
  You got to put on a fight. And if you're not going to put
• 49:18
  on a fight and you don't show up in that game, how could you let
• 49:21
  them squeak in with three losses?
• 49:24
  They're the only team in this tournament that has three
• 49:29
  losses, the only team. It doesn't make any sense.
• 49:33
  I understand it's Alabama, but it doesn't make any sense.
• 49:37
  And I I know Speedy before we we started the show, I think
• 49:40
  yesterday we were talking about it.
• 49:41
  And you think the sleepers in this this final 12 is Oklahoma
• 49:45
  and Alabama and they're facing off against one another.
• 49:48
  Why? Yeah, because Alabama I think
• 49:51
  still. Offensively has enough prowess
• 49:53
  for that kind of thing and defensively they weren't.
• 49:55
  They're not as good as they were two years ago, but I think they
• 49:58
  were still enough of a defense even without Saban there to be
• 50:02
  strong enough. That being said, they are
• 50:04
  definitely not the Saban level defense.
• 50:06
  Oklahoma is interesting because they have their quarterback
• 50:08
  healthy and Matir who was a lot of people's Heisman radars at
• 50:11
  the beginning of the season. Then he got hurt and then he
• 50:13
  kind of struggled on his way back.
• 50:15
  Oklahoma beat Alabama head to head though.
• 50:16
  That's why they're the higher seed, obviously, in addition to
• 50:19
  them only being a two loss team and they have a really dangerous
• 50:22
  defense with a coach and Brett Venables that won some titles
• 50:24
  with Clemson as a defensive coordinator with a huge part.
• 50:27
  Look at all those great Clemson defenses they had.
• 50:30
  I I'm again going back to what? We were talking about off off
• 50:34
  air and and trying to compare and look at all these teams that
• 50:36
  have made it to the final twelve.
• 50:38
  I question a lot now. Texas A&M deserves to be here.
• 50:41
  Now. Before they lost against Texas,
• 50:44
  they were one of the higher seeds and it was expected to be
• 50:47
  one of the top, if I'm not mistaken, top three higher
• 50:50
  seeds. They were three at the time.
• 50:51
  Yeah. And they fall undefeated.
• 50:52
  Yep. And then they fall.
• 50:54
  In all the way to number 7 and that that's crazy after losing
• 50:57
  against Texas, they fell from from #3 to #7 that quick and and
• 51:02
  that's the crazy thing on the metrics in comparison to how how
• 51:06
  they declare these guys and where they're seated.
• 51:09
  And, and to me, I still don't understand it when I'm looking
• 51:12
  at these these metrics and they're trying to post them up
• 51:15
  to explain it because it's all BSR.
• 51:17
  Yeah, I got it. That's why I'm.
• 51:18
  Making. That's why I'm bringing it up.
• 51:20
  Figure it out. There's no way.
• 51:22
  Ask me. As an economics.
• 51:23
  Teacher here's. My economics follow the money.
• 51:27
  You get $4 million as a conference for your team, making
• 51:32
  the College Football Playoff 4 million.
• 51:35
  The ACC could not put their champion in because Duke upset
• 51:41
  #17 at the time, Virginia, that put James Madison, who was
• 51:46
  ranked like 25th or something before they won their
• 51:49
  conference. So probably 2425.
• 51:52
  They get in by default. So now one less spot is
• 51:57
  available for a team like Notre Dame.
• 51:59
  So now you're kind of stuck between those three teams for
• 52:03
  two spots. And there's the ACC saying, hey,
• 52:08
  Notre Dame doesn't have a conference, right?
• 52:10
  We need that money. Here's our marketing power
• 52:14
  behind getting that money. Put Miami in.
• 52:17
  Miami was not expected to make it, Errol.
• 52:20
  They a million things had to go right in the last two weeks of
• 52:23
  the season. I know you're right.
• 52:25
  I honestly, I felt the same way. I thought I, I thought there was
• 52:28
  I and. I agree with you and I, I know a
• 52:30
  lot of things had to go right and I know where you're going to
• 52:32
  go with this because a lot of people said that.
• 52:34
  But I thought unless some catastrophical thing happened in
• 52:39
  the the in, in the last week, I thought Miami was going to sneak
• 52:44
  in. They were going to get Miami
• 52:45
  because of Beck. Beck is like this.
• 52:49
  Everybody loves this kid and they want to see Beck go and try
• 52:52
  to win a national championship. This is his final year.
• 52:55
  He's jumped from how many colleges?
• 52:57
  I mean, he's he's been in the portal like 3-4 times.
• 53:00
  I mean, how long has he been in college football?
• 53:02
  It feels like he's been there for ages.
• 53:04
  So everybody wants to see this guy try to win a national
• 53:07
  championship. So I, I just didn't believe that
• 53:10
  Miami wasn't going to sneak in, but I was shocked that Alabama
• 53:14
  snuck in the way they did with three losses.
• 53:16
  I couldn't believe it. I was talking to my friend.
• 53:19
  My friend came to me and he said, who do you got?
• 53:21
  Georgia, Alabama. I said I'm going to go with
• 53:22
  Alabama because if Alabama loses, there's no way they make
• 53:25
  this tournament. No way.
• 53:27
  So I'm going to go with the Crimson Tide.
• 53:28
  I just don't get it. Like Notre Dame's losses.
• 53:31
  With by 4 points total, three points to Miami at the very
• 53:36
  beginning of the season in August.
• 53:37
  That game was August 30th. They almost came back to 1 to
• 53:39
  win too. They were down big in.
• 53:41
  That game, right, they rattled off 10 straight wins.
• 53:44
  After losing by three points, one point to A&M, who we just
• 53:49
  said is ranked 7th. So that was their entire of
• 53:52
  their losses. Look at the losses from Alabama.
• 53:55
  They lost to Florida State, a losing team this year.
• 53:58
  They got smacked just a second ago by Georgia not and look,
• 54:02
  their best win of the season was against Georgia.
• 54:05
  So you know they got smacked in that rematch.
• 54:08
  I thought that was enough for everyone to say, you know what,
• 54:11
  they're clearly not up to that caliber.
• 54:13
  Let's keep them out of the playoff this year with that
• 54:15
  three third loss. But they kept them over Notre
• 54:17
  Dame. It's wild.
• 54:18
  And Notre Dame's AD is real pissed about it.
• 54:22
  I mean, as as you can imagine, but think about this for a
• 54:24
  second. Every single other one of their
• 54:27
  sports, their varsity sports, basketball included, are in the
• 54:31
  ACC. So now we may see Notre Dame try
• 54:37
  to pull out of the ACC in all their other sports.
• 54:40
  This. There's a lot of people upset,
• 54:42
  well trying to make a statement and I don't know if.
• 54:45
  It's one that they can necessarily win because I
• 54:47
  they're trying to do it for their own values.
• 54:48
  I know Texas used to do that in the past with the Longhorn
• 54:51
  Network and stuff like that and stuck to their own guns.
• 54:54
  Even though they were in the Big 12.
• 54:55
  They were not trying to schedule anything extra because of that.
• 54:58
  And again, I, I guess in this in that tight of a tiebreaker
• 55:01
  scenario that could, they couldn't reward it.
• 55:03
  You know what really bothers me about first of all?
• 55:05
  Marcus Freeman, who was possibly going to be an NFL coach a
• 55:08
  couple of years ago ago, he went to a national championship.
• 55:11
  He fell short in the national championship.
• 55:13
  He was what, one play away from possibly winning the national
• 55:16
  championship and then two years later has a chance to go into a
• 55:20
  tournament again and make another run and and fall short.
• 55:23
  They're not playing in their ball game.
• 55:25
  As a matter of fact, today they announced that they declined
• 55:28
  playing their in their bid for their ball game, which tells me
• 55:32
  they're so upset. They don't even care about the
• 55:34
  money they're going to get on that ball game.
• 55:36
  They'd rather not play. They'd rather not even show up
• 55:38
  to the game. You have a chance, Errol, to to.
• 55:42
  Win a national championship or you have a chance to win the Pop
• 55:46
  Tarts Bowl, which is what they would have been put in against
• 55:51
  BYU, who lost their match up as well.
• 55:55
  They said we're not interested. We'll have our own Pop Tarts
• 55:58
  from the store for a couple of bucks.
• 56:00
  It's really about money when you when you think about.
• 56:02
  These ball games, it's all about money and it's all about money
• 56:06
  for the NCAA to make. And they want to stick it to the
• 56:09
  NCAA and they want to say, you know what, we're not going to
• 56:12
  play in the game. We don't care about the money
• 56:13
  you're going to give us, the extra money you're going to give
• 56:15
  us. We're we're a rich school.
• 56:17
  Notre Dame is one of the more prestige schools in in the
• 56:20
  country. We don't need it.
• 56:21
  And that's they're making a statement.
• 56:23
  They're telling you we don't need to play in that ball game.
• 56:26
  You want to stick it to us, we're going to stick it to you
• 56:28
  and it's going to cost you money.
• 56:29
  And that's the way they're doing it.
• 56:31
  And again, the committee is not going to advocate for that.
• 56:33
  Kind of thing against Notre Dame specifically, just going to have
• 56:36
  different thing now. Each school has their own
• 56:37
  boosters, each school has their own, each school has their own
• 56:40
  advocacy for their own things, especially with NIL.
• 56:42
  But at the same time, it's not the logic that has to be used in
• 56:46
  this kind of instance for the ranking.
• 56:47
  And you know, it's funny because I I'm reading what Fish is
• 56:50
  saying. To Tommy and he says, well,
• 56:52
  who's going to fill in? There's somebody.
• 56:53
  Georgia Tech is already in. Yeah, somebody will fill in, but
• 56:56
  it's. It's not Notre.
• 56:57
  Dame OK. So when when you're talking
• 57:00
  about trying to sell advertisements and sponsors and
• 57:02
  you have advertisers and sponsors going to do commercial
• 57:06
  and and commercial settings, those advertisers are not going
• 57:09
  to want to work with that that particular game because it's not
• 57:12
  a road to Dame. It's who cares about Georgia
• 57:15
  Tech? I mean one of the nasty secrets
• 57:17
  arrow of like college. Football forever.
• 57:19
  Was that the bowl games, those, like lesser bowl games, cost the
• 57:23
  schools money. Yeah, they don't make any money
• 57:26
  whatsoever on these bowl games. So the schools don't want to
• 57:30
  participate in them if they're like a six and six team.
• 57:33
  But apparently if you're six and six, you qualify for a bowl.
• 57:36
  So sometimes you go because you want it to be good, you think
• 57:39
  it's good for your program, and now they're adding other five
• 57:41
  and seven teams. Because of these other teams
• 57:43
  dropping out, Notre Dame's I wasn't the only one.
• 57:45
  There's like 10 other teams. Yeah.
• 57:46
  No, this is this is really for the NCAA.
• 57:49
  They're making the money off of it, and they're making
• 57:51
  something. The school, Yeah, the school is
• 57:53
  making something, but they're not making anywhere.
• 57:56
  Yes, the Big 12 finds you. $500,000 if you don't play in
• 58:01
  the bowl game and there's two teams that decided that, well,
• 58:04
  actually, that's going to save us money because that's how big
• 58:07
  of a loss these bowl games are. It's such an outdated way to do
• 58:12
  it. It's an exhibition game after
• 58:13
  the season's over. Why are we doing that?
• 58:16
  Anyone who's got an NFL stock, I did not even for this year, for
• 58:19
  next year. They're not risking themselves
• 58:22
  in something like this. It ends up becoming like, you
• 58:25
  might as well just have like a junior varsity game become the
• 58:28
  backups in, you know, whatever. It becomes a profit loss.
• 58:31
  I think mainly with the 5:00 and 7:00.
• 58:32
  And even the six and six teams you're referring to are the
• 58:34
  schools that like haven't got that, have been there to other
• 58:37
  like minor bowl games for a while.
• 58:38
  Maybe not the schools that are getting there for the first time
• 58:40
  or anything like that, but any of those schools that are in the
• 58:44
  Power 4 conferences that are lower end are going to not
• 58:47
  benefit. I wrote a story about the
• 58:49
  college football. Tournament and it's up on our
• 58:52
  website and you go to our website.
• 58:54
  It's very, very funny and I gave you my take, my thought behind
• 58:57
  the whole debacle of the committee.
• 59:00
  And I think the committee is just they've for years have
• 59:03
  reached and reached it. It's a bunch of old guys sitting
• 59:06
  in a round circle and making a decision in 5 minutes.
• 59:08
  Oh, OK, we're going to go with this team just because it's this
• 59:12
  team and this coach. I I was sleeping with this guy
• 59:15
  two years ago and I'm going to go with this guy.
• 59:17
  You know, I, I don't know. I, I don't know how they're,
• 59:19
  they're making the decisions because these metrics.
• 59:22
  And that's why I kept bringing it up.
• 59:23
  And I wanted to read off the college football on how they're
• 59:26
  choosing who makes it and who not, who doesn't by looking at
• 59:30
  these metrics. And I'm, and I pretty much gave
• 59:32
  you my date to it. I don't understand it.
• 59:34
  How do you how do you post something like this up?
• 59:37
  I know that's what I'm saying. Yeah.
• 59:39
  They're changing their logic every.
• 59:40
  That's what I'm saying. When I'm posting this stuff up.
• 59:43
  And I'm trying, I, I, I wanted to see how they're judging and
• 59:47
  they're using the metrics on who makes and who not, who's not.
• 59:50
  The reason why I did that is because the truth is it doesn't
• 59:55
  make sense. So it is BS.
• 59:57
  That's what I'm saying. The whole thing is bullshit.
• 1:00:01
  That's what it is. Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  And to explain a little further, Fish.
• 1:00:04
  What you were describing at the at the end of the season looks
• 1:00:06
  like Miami blew out pit at the end of the year.
• 1:00:08
  Pitt was ACCC contender for a while.
• 1:00:09
  They might have made the ACC championship game if they won
• 1:00:12
  that game instead of obviously Duke who got it instead, it
• 1:00:14
  might have been Virginia and Pitt.
• 1:00:15
  And then you got Notre Dame who played well but kind of
• 1:00:18
  struggled down the stretch. That was kind of the argument I
• 1:00:20
  guess to make with Miami over Notre Dame because their
• 1:00:22
  strength, the schedule was pretty similar and they won head
• 1:00:24
  to head, which head to head. It's interesting they factor
• 1:00:26
  that in now because usually it's not as applicable because a lot
• 1:00:29
  of the teams fighting for spots don't play with each other.
• 1:00:31
  Now, again, it's interesting with the standards that they're
• 1:00:33
  holding with the ACC trying to put somebody else in when
• 1:00:36
  obviously there's a different conference championship instead.
• 1:00:38
  That being said, JMUI think in Tulane based on the rule and of
• 1:00:42
  deserving it. That leaves as we've got into
• 1:00:45
  it, Alabama. Alabama has been a midst of I
• 1:00:48
  think the College Football Playoff in the times they've
• 1:00:50
  existed and mostly got in the Top 14.
• 1:00:51
  They make it every year, but the most of the controversy of Slim
• 1:00:56
  Pickens outside of the Notre Dame in Texas A&M from 2020 are
• 1:00:59
  mostly based on Alabama now. I thought Alabama should have
• 1:01:01
  gotten in over Ohio State when they did in 2017.
• 1:01:04
  That being said, Errol and I mentioned it two years ago,
• 1:01:06
  Florida State and Georgia both not getting in over Alabama that
• 1:01:09
  year. To me, that's like a smack in
• 1:01:11
  the face. Because everybody knows I'm a
• 1:01:12
  Seminoles fan and that was the year when we we speak about the
• 1:01:16
  defense. They were the best defenses in
• 1:01:18
  the country, Florida State. And everybody says, well, they
• 1:01:20
  got their butts whipped by Georgia.
• 1:01:22
  And the reason why they got their butts whipped by Georgia,
• 1:01:24
  because after they got knocked out and they were the only
• 1:01:27
  undefeated team that didn't make that tournament, what did they
• 1:01:30
  do? They all their start, defensive
• 1:01:32
  players sat out because they were they were they were going
• 1:01:35
  to the combo. Suffered an injury, never played
• 1:01:37
  football again, No. I know The Jets drafted them.
• 1:01:40
  Never played again. I know.
• 1:01:41
  The Jets drafted them, couldn't come back.
• 1:01:42
  From that injury and they never and that was it.
• 1:01:46
  And they didn't even let him in. Unbelievable.
• 1:01:49
  Well, which is why I was mentioning last week, you can't
• 1:01:51
  hold Ole Miss. To that same kind of thing just
• 1:01:52
  because they lost their entire country and you know what's
• 1:01:54
  what's so weird about that and. And, and going back and forth
• 1:01:57
  on, you know, how they're judging and how they're using
• 1:02:00
  these metrics to get these guys or these teams in to this
• 1:02:03
  tournament. What throws me off about it is
• 1:02:06
  you look at the coach and and again, Nick Saban or even Dabo
• 1:02:09
  Sweeney. I remember before the season
• 1:02:11
  started, Dabo Sweeney and and Clemson was like the heavy
• 1:02:14
  favorite to winning the national champion.
• 1:02:16
  I was wrong about them and they didn't even.
• 1:02:18
  Make the tournaments. As a matter of fact, they look
• 1:02:21
  so bad at some points this year that Dabo Sweeney should have
• 1:02:24
  lost his job. But because it's Dabo Sweeney,
• 1:02:27
  if Dabo Sweeney in the Clemson was, they only had three losses.
• 1:02:31
  Clemson makes the tournament too.
• 1:02:33
  And that's the problem right now with the committee.
• 1:02:35
  They're looking at the star power of the coaches, the star
• 1:02:38
  power of the players. That's why I say with Beck, I I
• 1:02:42
  absolutely believe the Hurricanes were going to make
• 1:02:44
  this tournament. Everybody said all things had to
• 1:02:46
  fall into place. Alabama.
• 1:02:49
  OK, things had to fall into place for Alabama to make this
• 1:02:53
  one a man. One of the main things is them
• 1:02:55
  beating Georgia. They didn't even come close.
• 1:02:57
  They got their butts whipped. The game was over in 5 minutes
• 1:03:00
  of the game. They were it was over.
• 1:03:03
  Yeah, at least at least compete like if they lost by 7 even.
• 1:03:05
  OK. Maybe you could have a case to
• 1:03:07
  get in and over. The game was over in 5 minutes.
• 1:03:10
  5 minutes Now again you look at a.
• 1:03:12
  Case of they're changing the conference championship rules
• 1:03:15
  next year because OK, Alabama's going to play this extra game.
• 1:03:17
  There's a chance to get this extra loss.
• 1:03:18
  So we've seen teams either get screwed by that or even boosted
• 1:03:21
  by the fact that they play in the conference championships or
• 1:03:23
  not because it's not like basketball where the conference
• 1:03:25
  champion automatically gets in no matter what and it just
• 1:03:27
  affects the seating in football. You could still end up winning
• 1:03:30
  your conference and and get and lose like State in 2016, I
• 1:03:33
  thought got screwed because they were a Big 10 championship team
• 1:03:35
  that beat Ohio State, who was the number one team that year
• 1:03:37
  and they didn't get in over Washington.
• 1:03:40
  And that's why I think they're changing these conference
• 1:03:42
  championship rules. So I don't think Alabama like
• 1:03:44
  losing by 7, maybe would have missed, but getting blown out.
• 1:03:47
  How about how about when TCU went to the national
• 1:03:49
  championship? Well, yeah, TCU was undefeated
• 1:03:51
  up until that's. That's not my point if you look
• 1:03:53
  at their schedule. And their strength of schedule,
• 1:03:56
  if you look at who TCU had to really beat the whole season,
• 1:03:59
  there was like only two teams in the top 15 mean that they beat
• 1:04:03
  and they went all the way to the national championship and they
• 1:04:06
  got their butts whipped by Georgia.
• 1:04:07
  When you want to watch, when you watch it, the whole point of
• 1:04:10
  bringing this tournament together and 12 teams, 12 of the
• 1:04:13
  top teams of the country. The reason why you're doing this
• 1:04:16
  is you want to see the best teams play against one another
• 1:04:18
  to fight for a national championship.
• 1:04:20
  You do not want to see a team that shouldn't be there go out
• 1:04:24
  against a team that's so much so much more of a superior team
• 1:04:29
  than you are and then beat you by 50.
• 1:04:32
  That's that's embarrassing. So there's also a bad look when
• 1:04:35
  you look at judges, the committee too, like.
• 1:04:37
  I think Alabama's a really good team, but I can also say they're
• 1:04:39
  also undeserving at the same time because of they have 3
• 1:04:41
  losses and they're like Fish was saying a blowout loss in that
• 1:04:44
  championship game and they lost A5 and seven Florida State team
• 1:04:46
  by double digits. There's one match up here, the
• 1:04:49
  Ole Miss. Tulane.
• 1:04:50
  Match. That's unbelievable because Lane
• 1:04:53
  Kiffin leaves the coaching staff, John Sumrall doesn't.
• 1:04:57
  Yeah. So they're both gone next year,
• 1:05:00
  but one stayed and one left. Those are the two teams that are
• 1:05:04
  facing in the first round of the play and my Attack and My
• 1:05:07
  Attack. Is to Josh Silverberg because
• 1:05:10
  Josh Silverberg on his show came out and he was sticking up for
• 1:05:14
  old miss saying that it was selfish for Lane Kiffin to leave
• 1:05:19
  the way he did. And and my attack here is if if
• 1:05:23
  Lane did it and Summerall did the same thing, why is Seminole
• 1:05:28
  look still look like a God right now for for Tulane.
• 1:05:31
  He's still going he still has a chance to win a national
• 1:05:34
  championship. He still has a chance to move on
• 1:05:37
  and right now Lane Kiffin. That was my when when I when I
• 1:05:41
  put my story out this weekend. My attack to old miss is Lane
• 1:05:45
  Kiffin's going to be sitting on the opposite side of the field
• 1:05:49
  behind Tulane watching the game and giving them all the
• 1:05:52
  information probably giving them all their takes or all their
• 1:05:55
  play calling. Why not stick get up their ass?
• 1:05:58
  I mean, honestly, it's it's embarrassing.
• 1:06:00
  It's absolutely embarrassing. When you look at Ole Miss now,
• 1:06:03
  they look like the biggest joke of this tournament because some
• 1:06:07
  are all right now is going and he's heading to Florida enjoying
• 1:06:10
  enjoying his reign with Tulane hat Rod's reign with Tulane and
• 1:06:15
  now and and and Lane Kiffin is not going to be able to be
• 1:06:19
  coaching for Ole Miss where he has a chance to move on in this
• 1:06:22
  tournament and maybe face off against whoever Oregon or
• 1:06:25
  Alabama. If they not get not they knock
• 1:06:27
  out Oklahoma or even Oklahoma or whatever.
• 1:06:30
  However way he was going to match because if if Lane Kiffin
• 1:06:33
  was there with Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin moves on after they knock
• 1:06:37
  off Tulane and maybe Lane Kiffin wins his first national
• 1:06:40
  championship. Maybe old miss wins their first
• 1:06:43
  national championship since 1960.
• 1:06:46
  It would have been Georgia and I think they would have beaten
• 1:06:47
  Georgia. So.
• 1:06:49
  It's a joke. It's an absolute joke.
• 1:06:51
  And by the way, Josh, I give you a lot of compliments.
• 1:06:54
  That was a horrible take, Horrible take to say that Lane
• 1:06:58
  Kiffin owed it to the school to go back to them.
• 1:07:01
  Give me a break. Nobody owes anybody anything.
• 1:07:04
  It's all about mucho narrow. That's all I'm saying.
• 1:07:08
  I see it $90,000,000 and and old miss would not offer him $10
• 1:07:13
  million more to stay there. That that's a joke.
• 1:07:16
  I'm going to LSUI got a chance to go into the portal.
• 1:07:20
  They're giving me poor portal money, more opportunities to win
• 1:07:24
  a championship and get get back to the NFL, which I've been
• 1:07:27
  wanting to go since Oakland decided to part ways with me.
• 1:07:31
  I'm telling you, Lane Kiffin is not going to be at LSU longer
• 1:07:34
  than two years. He wins the national champion
• 1:07:36
  championship, he's going to flee and he's going to go to the NFL.
• 1:07:39
  Does that make him a bad person? I already know that he's a big
• 1:07:41
  ass. Everybody knows that Lane Kiffin
• 1:07:44
  is an ass. But guess what?
• 1:07:46
  He's a rich ass and I'd rather be a rich ass than anything
• 1:07:49
  else. So I'm taking the rich.
• 1:07:52
  So I I'm not, I'm not hating on Lane Kiffin.
• 1:07:55
  I think Lane Kiffin made the right decision.
• 1:07:57
  He made the right decision for him and his family.
• 1:07:59
  And I think Old Miss is going to be smacked in the face against
• 1:08:02
  Tulane because of it. All right, our golf clap of the
• 1:08:06
  day. This deserves a golf clap, no
• 1:08:10
  doubt. Golf clap, golf clap.
• 1:08:15
  All right, my golf clap of the day goes to the Cleveland
• 1:08:18
  Browns. And I don't know if this is a
• 1:08:21
  golf clap. I don't know if this is a a turd
• 1:08:24
  of the day. It's something as after the game
• 1:08:27
  and and I've heard many different players attack
• 1:08:32
  Stefanski on what he did with Shudor throughout the game.
• 1:08:35
  And one of them is up for defensive player of the year and
• 1:08:39
  and Garrett, who he he's Miles Garrett has been one of the more
• 1:08:43
  prolific dominant defensive forces we've seen in 20 years in
• 1:08:47
  a regular season. He's been unbelievable.
• 1:08:49
  But the fact after the game when Stefanski goes up there and he
• 1:08:55
  speaks to the press and he announces that his quarterback
• 1:08:59
  one for the rest of the season is Shidor Sanders is an absolute
• 1:09:02
  joke. An absolute joke.
• 1:09:04
  And I'm going to tell you why. Deshaun Watson.
• 1:09:07
  There is news coming out that Deshaun Watson will be on the
• 1:09:12
  Cleveland Browns next year. And he is considered to be the
• 1:09:15
  starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns next year.
• 1:09:17
  And he's considered to make almost $70 million next year,
• 1:09:22
  $70 million next year. So they're not waving his
• 1:09:26
  contract. He's going to be playing with
• 1:09:28
  his hands and playing with his Tootsie Rolls in the backroom.
• 1:09:32
  Whatever he's going to be doing, he is still going to be the
• 1:09:34
  starting quarterback. And guess what?
• 1:09:36
  Shidor is going to be fighting for that QB one next year before
• 1:09:40
  the season starts. And what is that smell that
• 1:09:42
  smells bad news for Shador Sanders?
• 1:09:45
  Because Shador, even though he looked half decent yesterday, he
• 1:09:49
  hasn't looked good in his first three starts and and to me, he
• 1:09:54
  to me is a bonafide second string quarterback.
• 1:09:56
  That's what he is and the only reason why he's going to get a
• 1:09:59
  chance to be QB. When I feel bad for Dylan
• 1:10:01
  Gabriel because as soon as he went down, he knew he was going
• 1:10:04
  to lose his job. He was never going to get that
• 1:10:06
  job back. Because one Shador Sanders is
• 1:10:08
  the #4 selling jersey right now in the NFL.
• 1:10:11
  And 2:00. Every single fan has his love
• 1:10:13
  fest for this guy, even though the guy hasn't done anything in
• 1:10:16
  the NFL yet and he was a fifth round draft pick and for some
• 1:10:20
  reason after the first round of the draft last year, he was
• 1:10:23
  singing and rapping in a DJ booth.
• 1:10:26
  So my thought here is Shidor Sanders is an absolute bust and
• 1:10:31
  Deshaun Watson and having him come back is even more of a
• 1:10:34
  bigger bust. So next year the Browns will not
• 1:10:38
  be drafting a quarterback in this class because it wouldn't
• 1:10:40
  make any sense. So they're not going QB 1.
• 1:10:43
  So my Golf Club goes to the, the, the quarterback situation
• 1:10:48
  with the Cleveland Browns and the despicable thought that this
• 1:10:52
  Browns team is is going to waste another year with no
• 1:10:55
  quarterback. So there it is.
• 1:10:58
  My Golf Club goes to the Cleveland Browns in their
• 1:11:00
  debacle of quarterback play. And I feel bad again for Dylan
• 1:11:04
  Gabriel doesn't make any sense. And I feel bad for the kid and
• 1:11:07
  he's never going to I don't even think he'll get another chance
• 1:11:09
  as a starter in the NFL again, unfortunately.
• 1:11:12
  So I, I, I love the kid. I met him at the Heisman Trophy
• 1:11:15
  dinner last year. He was very, very nice kid.
• 1:11:18
  I, I thought very highly of him and after him being drafted, I
• 1:11:23
  think it was in the fourth round, I thought he was going to
• 1:11:25
  get his chance. What did he play three games?
• 1:11:27
  And after three games and I've seen, I don't care what anybody
• 1:11:30
  says, to say that Shdaw looks, even looks even a little bit
• 1:11:34
  better than Dylan Gabriel is a joke because he hasn't looked
• 1:11:38
  better than Dylan Gabriel. They're both looked, they've
• 1:11:40
  both looked really, really bad, but to say that Shadora Sanders
• 1:11:44
  has got a chance to to win that QB one position next year and go
• 1:11:48
  go against that tells me Dylan Gabriel is not even going to
• 1:11:50
  make the team in the off season. It's it's a sad situation for
• 1:11:54
  Dylan Gabriel. Thank you to all the fans out
