  Speaker 5: I look at them and I just go this team
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: is unreal. I mean, I don't I hate hyperbole. Best ever,
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: this best this, that's that. I don't know if I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: ever seen a better coach college football team, let's put
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: it that way.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Not I agree with you. I mean, twenty nineteen LSU
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: is in terms of great talent, yeah, but I mean
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: this team. I mean Fernando Mendoza has five incompletions the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: last two games.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He had five touchdown passes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: In the last game.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's like a he's like a surgeon.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's really phenomenal because he's not just throwing short passes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I mean he's throwing intermediate and long pass He does
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: have time most of the time.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I will say that that line is amazing.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yes they are. This is the best that Mark Cuban Couldbye.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I mean Mark Cuban invested a lot of money in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that team and really, oh yeah, yes he did. He's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the lead donor.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: That makes sense and some NFL teams can be glad.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: There's apparently one other guy that they at Herb Street
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I maybe have alluded to during the broadcast that's given
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: more than Cuban has.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they have a couple of next year. Yeah, absolutely,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: money talks. Money does talk, but you still gotta Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but you got a coach man.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Two things, talent, the staff.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, these guys came up with him
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: in the smallest of schools college.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I love the postgame interview with Molly McGrath. He goes that,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, looking down the road, He goes, I don't
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: look around the road.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I want to go pop a cold beer. Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, never smiles, No, no, he did smile.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: The show didn't right right at the end, forty.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: They were halfway to seventy. At the half, and he
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: was looking like he just he was so angry. He's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: pacing sideline like he's about to tear somebody's head off. Yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: good luck Miami.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I think. You know, the quarterback is
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: gonna have to be really good. And he was really
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: good in spurts to get Miami there.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He was really good in the stretch.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: He made three outstanding throws in that fourth quarter, right,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: and and you gotta have that, but I would.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: His experience was on the screen.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: It was it was and I and that quarterback shootout
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: with with with Ole miss uh that was. That was phenomenal.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Those two guys were just unbelievable in that semi final game.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: And he's gonna have to be good because I don't
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: think Miami would win the coaching battle because still he
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: did some weird things into my Mississippi game. I thought
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: he asked him. So once again, is I gotta give
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: him credit? He is playing for a championship, and I
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: never thought that was possible, you.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Know, I didn't either.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Ticks me off. All the stuff that they allow and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: then they denied another year.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, what the heck.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's he's.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: A pilling that one probably I got seven years, right, Yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: he played seven.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Becks played seven years. So I mean, I mean, these guys.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Are gonna have grandchildren before long. Yeah, no doubt.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: I looked up the guard played against A and M
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Nigel Pack.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: I saw him introduce him, and I haven't paid enough attention.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I said this in the first hour in Oklahoma. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: went Nigel Pack was one hundred.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: And four years old.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Played at Miami, he played.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: He played at Kansas State. He was great early at
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Kansas State.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: He helped beat Texas and take Miami to the Final
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: four two years or three years ago.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, this guy's been playing for refid.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: He dropped thirty five on Kansas loss.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, I know, but once again he almost dropped thirty
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: five on A and M on Saturday.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Talking about college athletes, we'll soon see nine to ten
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: year old guy. That ten year old guy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I saw, I saw stat that the wide receiver for Miami,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Tony he was. Yes, he was eleven years old when
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Carson Beck started college.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Holy smoked. He just turned.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Eighteen, right, exactly, He's supposed to be a senior in
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: high school. Exactly.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: He's a man.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: He is man.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: We already knew that but he was eleven years old.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Carson stat, I mean, unbelievable.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: That's a great stat that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Is that is awesome, that that reminds me back in
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: the when I was growing up. I did grow up
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: one time and played the summer ball, like, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: summer leagues back in Pennsylvania. I never forgot when I
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: got out of school when I was eighteen, so I
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: played with the summer team in the first basement was
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: forty years old, and oh my god, I was twenty
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: years older than I am. You know, I mean, you
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: you just used to always playing people your own agent.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Right now you get to college, you're not playing some
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: guys your own age.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You're that's amazing, not anymore.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I somebody just to I think Dusty told me today
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: the average age of the Indiana team's twenty three.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: They're like, they're like by us, Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, like twenty six, I think.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: But still the point being, these these aren't boys, they're men.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: They're men.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: It's a huge difference too. I remember when my son
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and Sees your son was probably on that team too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: They played on the first college station team that the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: first game of the year. They were all freshman and sophomores,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and we went down to Showing Bird, remember, and we
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: played this you know two a team, but they were
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to eight. They were eighteen years old versus our fifteen
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: year old and it was just like the.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Lone of scrimmage.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: It was just man against boys and had a grandparent
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: growing up going all of these baseball tea balls, starting
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: at T ball and baseball. The other team always seems
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: to have players that are ten years older than kid.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah right, yeah, they're all six feet tall, they're still
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: they're shaving, and you're going that guy, there's no way
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: that kid's ten years old exactly.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: That's the way it is now. So yeah, right, yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: pretty soon one year olds playing ten year old.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I think like you, I heard you say
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that Indiana it should be you know, the inspiration forever,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: but it certainly should be the inspiration from Texas A
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and M. You know they they lost in the first
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: round last year, and look what they're doing the second.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I tell you what happens. Guys, you can.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I want you to comment on this because in my mind,
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: when a team like this rises up right from nowhere,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: then one hundred and thirty six other fan bases are going, Hey,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: it's freaking Indiana. They're not losing his program in history,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: they're winning a national championship. We've been around forever, We've
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: thrown billions of dollars into this deal, and we can't
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: get a championship. We're not doing something right here, right,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: you know that's gonna happen.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Without a doubt. It's gonna get more people fired.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, because it will get more coach and.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: Want to right now? Yes, And who wants to wait?
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Indiana's doing in two years exactly, And I guarantee you
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: if and M takes a step back next year, people
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: are just gonna go, oh, there's.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: No doubt about that, There's no question.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're exactly right. So unfortunately, I think there's pressure
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: on Elko because you know, if they do take a
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: step back.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Well there's I mean there's pressure on every ad village coach.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But if they take a step back, it's gonna be
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: looking same. O' aggie's right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: But you're right, because they're fighting history. That's not fighting
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: everything else. You're fighting.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I would argue that nobody had more history to
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: fight than Kurt Signetti.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, I mean nobody. But but that's still
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I consider that a basketball school.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: How much different go out? You know, But he said
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: he was fighting. I don't think he was fighting his
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: big elephants in the A and M's room. You don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: because because they're a basketball school. I mean, they didn't
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: expect a national There's A and M fans have expected
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: the national championships since thirty nine here in football, all right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, and they and each year.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're right in the fact that they lost
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: so much that the fan base is like, yeah, you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: another coach, so what right, I mean, they've seen it all.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't believe Indiana was on anybody's radar. The
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: last team well, of course not, you know, but but
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: A and M. They moved to the SEC. They did
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: all these things to try to win.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: So we heard and I've said it too. You know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it's hard to be a team twice, right, first player
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: game Indiana boom, I'm like, okay, well there you go, man,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: they're on the road.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Orton came right back. But then Indiana it's like the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: knockout punts. Early it was thirty five.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: But do you know what I've got to you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: I got a confession because I, oh, yeah, I'd flip.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Over to an Indiana game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I don't like Big ten football, you know that, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I'd flip over to an Indiana game. As they just
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: continue to win and continue to pulverize people, and except
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: for that pin stake game and when when they had
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: to come back, it's like they are killing everybody, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: everybody's going.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That's a Big ten.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: They're not very good, you know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: And they're still killing everybody, right, They're still just dominating,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: and you're going you go back to that nineteen twenty
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: nineteen LSU team, and that's.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Probably fair with the amount of time. I'm not sure.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you think.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure Indiana has that level of consistent talent
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: that that l s U team had.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're not talented.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: They are talented, but I'm not sure they have that
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: many NFL NFL.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: The second don't have the five stars.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: They don't have a single five star like that's they had.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, so so what they put up Oregon had fifty
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: five four.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: And five star players. They had eight.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Thinking they were all eight four star, all four stars,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: no five stars.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: So you're trying to get fifty five eight. That's what.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're You're exactly right though, because I mean that
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: l s U team was more talented. I mean that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the NFL kind of caliber.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, quarterback.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So here's the deal. We have to be careful, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I have to remind myself all the time of this.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I only watched Miami like one time during the regular seasons, persess.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I only watched Indiana one time.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: It was against Penn State.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So my impression of both those schools were they're not
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: very good.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: You gotta be careful, you gotta get the whole picture.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Writ MIAMMI play a little bit of Notre Dame. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: watched them play s MU and I watched them play Louisville.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah that's three, you know, two of the worst games. Yeah,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: and you're right because we see so much football and
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: I saw very little Indiana, And I'm like you, Okay.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Then when they beat Penn State, the Miraculous Cat, that
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: was tough. It's tough to win at Penn State. If
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you're Indiana, it's tough to win there.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Then I saw them, well, they hadn't in about seventy years.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: And then when they wanted Oregon, I said teams for
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: real when.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You go to what I said, that's what That's the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: game that got my attention.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: When they went to Oregon and won that game, I went, okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: that maybe they're pretty good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I was a little late to the party. They got
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: my attention when they just destroyed Alabama.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: They were like, oh man, this game is really good.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: I was kind of rooting for them when they beat
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Penn State because I forget what game we were at.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: A bunch of riders were on this computer watching, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I go, I like to see the Cinderoa story continue,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: because you knew if if Indiana lost that game because
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Pennce they didn't even have their they fared a coach, Yes,
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: a lot of things would have gone down. And that
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: guy made that catch. Yeah, and we're all there, Oh
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: he didn't make it. And then he showed a watching
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the computer. He made that can catch the year.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable to catch you the year.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: When you can win in the road in a major conference,
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: like if you know, if you can win two huge games,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: you're so melanchait.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Tony would have made the catch of the year. But
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: he got that one. Heel down there on the sideline.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: That was fat.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable, wasn't it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: That was unbelievable.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I mean he didn't technically he didn't make the cat
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that was a nodebl backup catch. Gosh, that was incredible.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That kid is just special, a very very special freshman.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: He's special.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: But you know who, I gotta say this though off
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: their toll rock or not, not like he ever had it,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but Michael Irvin has gone off. He's gone off the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: deep he has I mean, he's off the deep end. Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the He's the official team mascot, no doubt.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: What I think when I think about Miami, what this
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: is going to do with the amount of money they have,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: is christ of Baul such.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: A good recruiter. He doesn't get better teams in the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: next few years.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: He might not.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: He'll get tat He's gonna get a lot of he's
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: because they have money.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: They have money.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: They have money down there in southeat.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Miami is not a bad place to recruit.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing, you know, That's that's the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: other thing. You look at that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: But I just I look at at what Miami has done,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: and I'm with you, Ceese. I think talent in some
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: cases have overcome some of the stupid coaching. Uh. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: there's a team that we know almost didn't get in.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: People don't think they should be in. You know, we've
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: seen that before. It's it's still are you playing your
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: best at the right time? Right, It's like every other
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: tournament we see, Uh, the NFL started a tournament. It's
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: like the best team may not win. It's a team
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: that's playing the best for about four games, right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: And Miami can run the ball with that running back, well,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: they run the ball.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: They can.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Don't sure they will against Indiana.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think they will.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I think Indiana's is a whole another level.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I mean the way they're playing, the confidence they're playing.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And you may say they're a bunch of three stars whatever,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: they believe they're all. I mean, they believe they're Nasal
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: champions and they're they're.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Playing like that.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: And you touched on when you're twenty two or twenty three,
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: you're not the same three star you were at eighteen
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: or seventeen. Suddenly you've gained two stars?
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: And what is it about certain staffs that can develop
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: these players?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: I said for that, I mean, we know you have
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: to have a quarterback that that has been so obvious
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: throughout the playoffs, right, I mean, you have to have
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: the guy and not just a quarterback. Now I'm convinced
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: you better have one of the top four five quarterbacks
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: or you're not going to be in the hunt.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I'm with you. Quarterback play and all those guys started
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: somewhere else the final four say which will and there's not.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: It's hard to beat experience. You're right. Beck overcame a lot.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: He had a bad interception, but he put it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Behind nothing nothing, nothing faces, given that I was given that,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: and when he had to make place, he made place.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Well you just like I said earlier, it's like you
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: can see the composure he had. He's like, Okay, well
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna get this done. Yeah, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: mean like old Mistress took the lead. But there's still
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: plenty of time less on the clock. I'm gonna get
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: this done.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: And Mendoza's just like, how to do to you? Oh?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So much fun?
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Like I mean, I know it's fun. I mean he's
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: killing everybody, of course it's fun. But but he's unfaced
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Right, And this guy he just doesn't miss throws you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Know he he doesn't miss anything. Chip, he he knows
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: every Like when they got him to the postgame interview,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: like he addressed him by name.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, he knew exactly.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Who they were. It's just like you know, he wanted
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: all the name of the Heisman guys or all the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: name of his players before he got there.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: He's special. Oh he is not.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Just special, but he's he's so prepared. He obviously, like
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you said, he's not a costudent, so he has all
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: this time. He's putting all his time into Hey, what
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: happens who.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Unless an injury happens or he goes to a really
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: terrible place. Cleland that this guy is going to be
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: a big time quarter He's already a big time quarterback.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be great in the NFL.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: I think you hit it on Rusty here. Remind me
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: a lot of Burrow. Burrow that year he made great throws,
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: made long throws.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Just in the zone for the whole year, of his zone.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: For the whole year. And you remember mating them went
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: down here and got like trash fifty.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: See.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I feel like an idiot with my Heisman vote. Now
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I want I want to take my Heisman vote back.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I just feel like a freaking idiot putting him number two.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Well well, well, I mean, you know, an.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: With the group, I want to pick them one.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: In hindsight, right, I mean because all eyes weren't on
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: him until it and so with all eyes on him,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh my gosh, this guy is no
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: wonder therelievable.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: But I watched the Oregon game, and like I said,
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: I watched the Penn State game and the stats were
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: just too overwhelming.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: There they're over the top.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: I would take Pavia back when I had him.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: He just doesn't miss. He doesn't miss.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Well, he just and like I said's the maturity and
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: in the beauty of three of us. We've been around
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: sports enough. It's all about chemistry. If you round teams, Uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: you go out Saturday again to the A and M
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: men's basketball team, that team's got chemistry. You watch that team, Uh,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: they might only might end up going who knows eight
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: and ten, But they're fun to watch and you could
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: tell they don't get mad when they go out, they
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: get happy when they go in. You can tell the system.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: And we used to sit here last year and rip
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: we didn't know why. Uh, buzz Williams take the best
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: player off. I've made three or four. Uh you trust everything.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: That system, by the way, is not working in Maryland
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Trust everything. Trust everything with milland does. I mean when
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: he does it, the guys go in, they play hard,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: they get the they get the plays, and you think
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: this team just came a little bit like Indiana in
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: two years. This team came together in a few months
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: for very quickly. And you watch two of the biggest
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: plays when ag threw the ball, threw it to a spot. Yes, okay,
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: you play with a guy like two much and you
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: know he's going to be there with the game on
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: the line. Yes, that's pretty impressive. Yes, yeah, they're they
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: they've been very impressive. I mean they really have.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: They they have exceeded right now, all expectations. You know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: I looked, I did before you guys walked in. I
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: was wondering what the point spread was tomorrow night, and
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: it's minus nine and a half. It does not, I thought,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know how difficult it is. I know
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: how difficult their style is. They're huge, They're everything A
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: and M is not. They're plotting right there, They're going
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: to pound you if they can if, I am so
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: interested because for the most part we've seen other teams
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: have to bend to the will of this this bucketball right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: True, if you can get up and down the court,
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: people have to follow you. Yes, they'll be interest to
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: see if he can play at that fanatic pace in Knoxville.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Turnovers and made shots, right, I mean, that's those are
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: those are key things.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: And getting back by the way, Buzz Williams has a
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: tough start. The good deal is the Big ten all
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: eighteen team goes to tournament because the top sixteen goes. He
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: might have trouble, but.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's he'll make it this year. I'm
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: not sure.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: You know, he wanted to go to a basketball school
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: and he's he thought A and M had a lot
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: of time.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I still I'm going to say this, I think Buzz
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: is going to win eventually. I think he'll win. He's
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: won everywhere. He has a system. It's going to work,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: you know it is. He's going to get his players in.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: They're going to play the way he wants him to play,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: and eventually.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: He will will get him to the tournament.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're gonna win it all or anything.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: I'm just going to say he's not going to be
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: zero to five in the league.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Everything that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: The way, and in places they play every bit as
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: a good defense as they did last year, and they've
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: got an offensive plan, and there's so much gone to watch,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and yeah, they do some frustrating things and they're way undersized.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: And wait till Bucky gets all of his pieces and
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he's got more than a month to put them all together.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: But what he's doing so far, I mean you mentioned
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: eight and ten. Well, if they they need to get
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to nine ten wins, well, now it leaks a lot
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: easier to do, right because right now you go, okay,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: so to get to nine and nine, all you got
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to do is go six and nine.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is, when you start looking at
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the league, win a Helmet's all I gotta do.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Well, they do have to win at home when you
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: start looking at the league, And I'll say again, I'm
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: going up and down this list, and I don't think
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: there's a great team among them right this year. You know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: last year there was probably four right right, and the
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: rest of the.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: League was unreal.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Uh, this year they're just they're good I'm not saying
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: they're bad because their record proves they're good.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I think Vanderbilt is really good.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is really good.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: They're they're not hugely athletic, they're not very big. Okay,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: that could hurt them when it's more of a half
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: court game in tournament play, but they're very good that
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: speaking of coaching, right, I mean, this guy has come
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: in and you're going, where did this come from?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: And they're very good. I still think Arkansas is the most.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Talented building well, but Florida now has run Georgia back
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: to back at home Georgia and Arkansas.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Right, No, that's all Arkansas. Auburn played desk it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, they were desperate.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Auburn kind of played the way I thought they were
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: going to play.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Against A and M but didn't. But I don't know
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: if they sustain that well.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Texas goes to Alabama and wins.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: That was a huge shoot up, huge shocker.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is I think all these teams
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: are pretty equal, and I think nine and nine and
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: ten and eight right now looks more than doable for
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the way this team is played now, as long as they,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: you know, can stay relatively healthy. They've already lost obviously Inbacco,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: but I think that for the style of the way
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: they play, I'm not saying Inbacco wouldn't be important. They
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: still don't have a big guy, but Ag has taken up.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: He is so strong, he is real.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: They couldn't stop him, sorry in the ball. And I'll
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: be interested see what he does against Tennessee size huge,
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: They got strength. Yeah, and Ag has been unstoppable one,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: the one that seems shoot threes. But that's beside the point.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: The only guy who's been a disappointment to me is Fuerderico.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just he's a big disappoint He is
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a real disappointment. He was better last year text tech
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: than he is right now. He was really good, Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: attack he was. He was really good.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: And and and I just say it's style, right to me,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: So I think it's style. I think he's struggling with
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: how they play.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Well in the substitutions are so much. You know, him
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: coming in defense for Age just to make sure that
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Age doesn't get a foul, right, that's his only role.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: And you know, right now, Vincent is just kind of
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: he showed signs, but I don't know, if you can
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: develop this late in the season, right.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be interesting.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I just I just noticed this am has to go
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: to Austin Saturday.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, they got at U t at u
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: t yes. Yeah. Back if they could go one and
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: one this week, that'd right.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: I was a good coach, you know the fact that.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: But I still mind boggling because although Alabama was playing
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: halfway decent a couple of times I saw them.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: For them, Alabama, it's not what they've white, what they've been,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: They're they're still good and Oats is still an incredible basketball.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Still so easy for me to root against him though,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: because he's so maddening.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, he is so maddening. He's pretty frenetic
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: on the sideline, but he can coach.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Man, he got he got teed up against.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: He was so mad, he was hot.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Well what what Texas did which I haven't seen done.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: They forced Alabama to pay to make.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Two point shots around the lane. And Oats is either
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: a layup or a three. That's his offense.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: You either score at the rim or you hit a three.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: And Texas what somehow was able to guard both of
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: those and force them to take two's it's just oaks.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Is this boiling?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I like to watch him stop. He reminds me of stopped.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he says stop. I just like he looks like
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: a used car salesman all the time, and.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Salesman.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: I just like watching him on the sidelines with that
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: with that sport code on he has from the fifties
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: or sixties.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, I like it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I think the guys he's good for the game because
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I can't stand I want to go down He's a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: great coach, but I do you want to go down there.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And slap him? All right, we'll take a break.
• 26:33

  Speaker 5: Welcome back Writers Roundtable on a Monday, brought to you
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: by Intech.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Guys. Have you seen the prices for the National Championship
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Game on Monday night today?
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: It's I think twenty three hundred is the get in
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: price up to twenty one thousand. I just killed you then,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: So here's the issue, because it's at Miami's home. Obviously,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: every Hurricane fan in South Florid is trying to go
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: to that game. But you saw Indiana's what is it now,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: thirty five hundred.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounded like a little low.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Now it's a little low. You saw the Indiana presence
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: at that game. That was impressive, very impressed. I mean
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: that was impressive. These people are hungry, they're very loud
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: at very loud, and you know they are fighting to
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: get in, which is why right now it's thirty two
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: hundred dollars for the get in price.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Because even like way back when before the started, it
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: was twenty four hundred dollars. Yeah, I was looking at
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: it just in case, you know, A and M made
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: a run.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you didn't buy.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Any tickets to not because I heard today they're a
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: lot of people that lost a lot of money on
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: cotton bowlt tickets.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I believe that.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't buy cotton bolt tickets either.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't I wish I had not
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: about the first round tickets.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: It was close, yeah, close, we were there. You could
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: tell the merchandise, you know, I.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Saw an almost national champion place.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or maybe maybe who knows who knows who why
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: they play the game they.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Played the game.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Turnovers, guys. I mean that's the other thing. You you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: you have all of these things and you think it's
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: it's coach speak. But in games, in games, any game
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: where there's just such a small margin for any team
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: you play all year long, right we and it's it's
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: gonna get worse with the transfer portal, everyone's gonna get
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: beat you know, competitive.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Who's gonna who's gonna be last in this league? I mean,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I mean, it's like.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: Everybody is paying a lot of money to try to
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: get to the top, and there's only one that can
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: make it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: To the top, Kentucky because they're gonna put all their
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: money in basketball.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Auburn. Auburn. Man, they're off to a pretty poor start,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: yes they are.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: But Alburt's gonna pony up eventually.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Well they've already ponied up. But they've lost players and
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: they haven't gotten them, you know, return for their players.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: But Auburn has proven that they'll spend money.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt they will spend money. Arkansas.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's so hard to tell.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Normally you say Vanderbilt.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: But they got money too much.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're they've got a taste. Now those people
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: are going to start writing checks.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I still think I put Kentucky down the bottom. I
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: put Arkansas above them a little bit. Really, Okay, I'm
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: just saying your Yeah, that's a tough question though. But
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I mean because because I saw North Carolina what's his face? State?
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: So he got enough promise of money, so he got
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: enough money to win. Yeh, you know, you got to
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: have X amount of dollars.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: You know it's and it was, but not only not
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: only do you have to have X amount of dollars.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: We've seen this rusty and pro sports for years. You
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: better use them wisely. Yeah, it's easy.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: It's easy to burn through your thirty million dollar budget
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: on some players who weren't who you thought they were.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's still it's about, you know, really identifying
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: the talent. And it's not all the big name schools.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, when Trinder Dad came to Old Miss, I'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: not sure anybody was like, oh.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: What's a big get huge get right? Yeah, it's like
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: but look who look who you became. By the way,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Oregon is putting all of their eggs in the Dylan.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: Ray Rascal Rayola. But they supposedly if if more comes back,
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: he'll red shirt next year.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, you see I thought that, I thought when they
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: when I saw that the day, I said, well More
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: must be leaving.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: But I hadn't seen anything.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: But see, that's much money Oregon has. They could spend
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: a few million, have a quarter to put it back
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: on way that if they don't like him, they get
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: another one.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: I won't tell you this quarterback ain't gonna be any
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: better with another red shirt year. This this is not
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: the guy to lead you to the final four.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Idiot next year when he does, I am not impressed
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: with that guy.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Landing is a good coach. Even he took a hit
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: last week, you know with that game.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you wonder. I don't think it's a big hit.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I was looking at some of the Oregon you know
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: stories and stuff, the fact that was this his third
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: year or.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Fourth year there?
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, I probably say it's fourth year.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably. While I mean he's he's done a great job.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: He's good.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I mean he's he's a little quirky. But but we
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: just had that about the Indiana coach.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Right, Quirky's fine as long as you're winning.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Quirky Quirky is great if you're winning.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: But in Oregon, you better win it all eventually, because.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Well that's the other thing. They haven't done it yet.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: And that's another program that they've been closed.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: They paid a lot, but they haven't they.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: Haven't done it. Paid a lot, they haven't done it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, only one can stand at the end of
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: the year.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: It's only one and we're talking about a lot of money,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: and it's amazing. It could probably be Indiana.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: You know, and this is another year at the SEC
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: not going to have a championship.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Three years in a row.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: The time, I think, I'm thinking Greg Sankie is going
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: to push for fifteen of sixteen in the from the
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: SEC next year if you.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Stayed in the playoffs.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I saw Bobby Knight was undefeated in seventy six, Yes,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: and Indiana's got a chance to go back undefeated a
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: different sport fifty years later. Oh that thinking about that?
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: Wow?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's wild. I mean, they got chance to be
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: sixteen and oh, I know that's pretty good man crazy.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: This team deserves to be sixteen. Oh I know, they
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: do a great story. They deserve it. They need another chapter.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: And in hindsight, you know, had they lost to Penn State,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: well whatever, you know, I mean, okay, it'd be fifteen
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: and one, fourteen and one, yeah, yeah, I mean.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: They've been different. Maybe they lose somewhere on, maybe they
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: have a different schedule, you know what happened.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe I mean that coming back back to that making
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: that spectacular catch and you know, just the last minute drive,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and that's got a way of you know, building, you know, coffee.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: You know that that game was the coming out party
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: of Becker. They're tied dver eighty. Who's gotten better and
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: better by gosh. Ever since then, he's looked like Brock Bauers. Yeah,
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, he has been phenomenal, killing Winslow like he's
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: been remembered that the Cooper, the kid that the great catch,
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: had to sit out, that next guy had to sit
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: out one of the the first playoff team, maybe one
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: of them. And Becker's it's been unreal.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Even last week he makes an incredible catch.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: So my thing is, when when you have a season
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: like that, you have to have guys like that, right,
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: you have to have guys that and I don't know
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: what star he was or if anybody ever recruited him,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: but you have to have those kind of guys to
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: elevate around the best guys, right, Your best guys still
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: have to be your best guys, but they have to
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: bring other people with them.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I think, let's be honest, A and M is in
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: the final twelve, which means they're in the final ten.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: We can critique about four or five things that A
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: and M needs to be better in quarterback play, need
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: a field goal kicker, you need to run the ball
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: and stop the running. And they're in the final ten.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Everybody's going to have weaknesses just because you can't pay
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: for everybody.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: No, you're right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: And when you say when when you're off off off
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: item of your game picks up. Let's say you're you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: not going to put a lot of money in running,
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: but you get sorted with some more running backs and
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: everybody else is good. You're right. Those other phases of
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: your game. Other guys going to pick it up good enough.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: What is Indiana's weakness?
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: I haven't seen one.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I haven't either, I mean I really did.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I haven't either.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: You talked about it and their best defensive player is out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know their defensive lineman, who was their stopper
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: all year long. Their best defender is out?
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: Maybe unning game maybe no, no, no, he's been out.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah no he got he got hurt in uh.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: I think the first playoff game of the last regular
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: in the in the championship game against Ohio.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: State, Miami, would be the one to expose that. Who knows.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, they gotta win one more.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: You we know that Miami plays great defense, and they
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: played great defense for most of the game against the
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: old their.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Lines of scrimmage, I'm telling you that old Miss Miami game.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Holy Molly, were they knocking the crud out of each other.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: I mean from the first play that was that was
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: un to watch. The Oh my gosh, they were intense.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you get to see strength against strengths.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Is the best player coleach football. I think Bane's the
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: best defensive players you know from Miami. He can dominate
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Right, Oh, no doubt he's But they but they kept
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: him in check. Yeah they did. They kept him in check.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: But they did a pretty good job of, like you said,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: keeping him in check and like let not letting him
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: just influence the game.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I thought Chamberliss is still going to go
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: down and win the game for it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's That's why I say, your your quarterback
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: can't just be another guy anymore.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: And that's why I say, like, you don't know, because
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I mean he's a Division two quarterback.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: You don't know.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if they brought it.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I bet that NFL football forever.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: It's like you draft these guys one and they never
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: work out, and then you have Tom Brady.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, who knows how these quarterbacks.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: Are men come from California. Who takes marrying him lsu
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: right in Indiana? Go Yep, not bad, not a bad move,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: not a bad move. You just got to read the talent,
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: you know. That's it's it's recruiting two, you know, recruiting
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: one in the high schools. Now you're liking it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: And you're hoping you're a little more accurate on the
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: portal guys because you can see, Yeah, you can't afford
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: to miss.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: These are refreshmen. These guys maybe playing their last season.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: And you're paying a lot of money for.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Them, and you're playing a lot of money for them.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: But it's interesting when you take a chance on the
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Trinidad and like, okay, I think this guy has all
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: the tools. Like like you said, I mean cowboys used
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: to back in the seventies, they used to always find
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: that Gil Brandt right, Yeah, yeah, they would always find.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Some kind of somebody. Who is this guy you know,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Jethropepew too tall Jones.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's look at Glene Kiffin. He brings, Yes he does,
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: he brings chamblisin. But at what point how much was
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: he paying the guy that was the starter and money?
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: And go, wow, if we bench that guy and bring
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: this chainless guy, and is he gonna be any good?
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Because people that put the nil money in and I
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: forget what his name is now the starter, but you
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: know they're staying like, hey, I want my guy starting.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, by the way, Lane got a dude today, Sam
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Lovett from Arizona State. He's been compared to Jackson Dart,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: which I love that like a riverboat gambler kind of
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: guy you know that can throw you know, bees all
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: over the field. That's a great get for him. I mean,
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: you knew he's gonna have a good quarterback, right, but
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: but this kid, if he takes him to that extra level,
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: we're talking about then you know real early on you're
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: gonna have.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: To deal with him, right, we already know that. You know,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: you already know you're gonna have to deal with l
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: s U.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: You just know it.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and with this quarterback, that's a big get
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: I give Kiffing a bigger check than I do koach O.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: You know this book, this book that I'm reading with
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: this on Pete Carroll, coach oh was the recruiting dude
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: on that staff, and I'd forgotten all of that, right,
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: And they were saying he he was hit between him
• 43:12

• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Mike Garrett, they were already on him as athletic director,

  Speaker 5: too good, and they're going, oh man, this is a

  Speaker 5: basketball fan. You that's like your third.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: Game in a row or so I've been always been
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: a basketball Oh no, I know that. I'm just a teams.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a Gillespie really yeah, why bother? Right, bother.
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: But that's what you want to go out and see.
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: I consider myself an average college basketball fan, not into
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: it because I love good high school basketball and you
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: get a good and you know, once again, is you
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: look what Gillespie did when he came here. The fans,
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: you know, related to him. They got excited he had.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I noticed they they they they h honored Billy Kennedy's correct. Yeah,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: the team Dane. Yeah, four guys played in the NBA off.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: That that's the only team has raised the banner in
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Read Arena in a long time.
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: And you know they were co SEC team. Yes, they
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: were really good.
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: And now Bucky does that same thing. You can see
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: the crowd relating to the team. And you know, don't
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: get me wrong, whether you're talking about Kennedy, whether you're
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: talking about Turjon, what are you talking about Buzzweims. I
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: feel they all.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Helped to move the program forward.
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: When you go out there Saturday and you see there's
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: sventy five hundred people there and there's not a lot
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: of students that are into the game. I know the
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: price tickets have gone up this team. This community wants
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: a winner, you know, because what happened in volleyball, what
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: happened in football, and I think Bucky has a chance
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: to produce that kind of winner that the community to
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: get behind.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Well, Bucky is the most easy coach to embrace here
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: in a long time. I mean, because the reality was,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: it wasn't easy to embrace buzs he was a different guy.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Turgon never really.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Liked being here.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately. Billy Kennedy was so low key that it was
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: hard to I love Billy Kennedy, I loved his teams,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't easy to get like, oh man, this
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: is our guy, right and you know, I mean Billy
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Clyde he was. He was easy to embrace, but he
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: was hard to kind of like him from a personal basis,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was. He was a strange dude. And
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: so Bucky seems to be the best of all worlds
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: in terms of Okay, here's a guy who's obviously a
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: very good basketball coach. He's upbeat. I love to hear
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: him in the press conference. He's a young guy, he
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: loves to be here. He's already embracing everything that Texas
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: A and m is and I just he feels like
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: it feels like a him got really lucky the buzz
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: left late and that Bucky was willing to be here,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: and because I think they they might have a hit
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: on something that otherwise.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: I'm just amazed when I watched this team that they
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: were thrown together at the last minute.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: They look like they've played.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: He says, they've got chemistry already.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard, you know, but.
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: They again, let's let's be clear, they have some ve
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: we were talking about veteran guys. They have got guys
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: that have played a lot of basketball on this too.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Well, like Agy says, like the team that played at
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State is so different the team is playing right now,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: no doubt. I mean, just because from a chemistry standpoint.
• 49:33
  Speaker 14: And Bucky's got good assistance, yes he doesn't, let's not
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: forget that. And now he's got about thirty of them
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: he's got he's got some very good assistance help.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: And guys who have been here, been here and understand
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: the at least the culture.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's huge, that really is. But I thought
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: he did a fantastic job in hiring those two guys. Man,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: you know, no doubt well three.
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: I hate yeah, three, that's really it.
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: Means a lot. And that's why I thought Buzz would
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: have a lot more success than what he did, because
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: he'd been here before. I knew the lay of the land.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: Do what you gotta do. And it didn't work out.
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: But like you said, sometimes things happen for a reason,
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: and well, I'm a firm believer in that anything in
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: life and whatever things happen for a reason.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I just think that he's been so much fun and
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: no matter if his team makes a determined or not,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: what he's been able to do. I mean, I had
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: hoped at the start of the year this would be
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: a competitive team, you know, just just compete, and it's
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: it's beyond that, beyond that, and so I'm not you know,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna jump. I know they're gonna have losses
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: that they promisehould but you start looking at it, it's like, okay, well,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: if you've got.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: To get to nine and nine, now you just got
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: to go six or nine.
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: I like when a guy rolls into the walks right
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: into in the press room in a decent hour after
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: the game, decent time and says, hey, guys, tough one.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: You know, just talking to you like we're talking right now,
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: not like walking in.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: And he'll answer the question.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: You answer the question not looking at us, and I
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: like it.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: Give you your answer and he gives a fresh take
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: on the answer. He gives you some coach speak, but.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: He'll throw in some story or he's really funny.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: He seems to have a sense of humor too.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like on the plane back, you know, he
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: had the video about the millisecond. You know, if you're
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: a millisecond, if you're a millisecond, like it doesn't count,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I just I love that.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: It's just like, hey, okay, and you know he okay.
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: When I heard that, you know what I thought right away?
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: I thought, Alane Kiffin kind of thing you need to do, yea,
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: that's what people want to hear.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to embrace it to exactly. I mean,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: you have to get to sell basketball text or.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: One of two things. And it's not just here.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: You you can do it with personality, but you have
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: to win. Sure, you can do it without personality, but
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: you really have to win. Yeah, right, I mean, seriously,
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: if you win, it doesn't matter.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: You just have to win.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: And everybody does it differently, right, everyone does it differently
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: because everyone has a different personality. And you look at
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: you know, you look at the teams around the country
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: right now, and you look at all the coaches and men,
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: they're all I mean, they're all just they're different kind
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: of guys. You look at Danny Hurley, he's a while
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: you were talking about a wildman. Danny Hurley is a wildman.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Is he makes Nate OAHs? Look? Look call right, I
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: mean he is crazy.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: He's got a cold national titles.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: He has a couple of national titles in his back pocket. Right,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: you look at the guy.
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just I'm amazed at what Otzenberger has
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: done at Iowa State. Right, they're sitting at sixteen and
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: oh and playing them is Frankly, it's a little you
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: were talking about Gillespie, it's probably a little like what
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: teams hated to do to play his team and how
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: they and how they defend. Right, you don't want to
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: do that. And then you go to the other end
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: of the spectrum. We're talking about Bucky, who wants to
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: get ready for that, right community. Yeah, the coaches. Yes,
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: Porter Moser is like, man, this this is a hard
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: team to get to play with the atmosphere too, he said, yes,
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: he did throw that in.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: And Porter has been here, right, he's been here.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Uh, he was here with Tony.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: He probably didn't see much of it that he did.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: No fans at all, no over. Yeah, but I'm just
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: saying this. They realize how far this program's come and
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: how much that means. But all those guys you mentioned,
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: like Seawn Miller, like the Beard, all these guys are
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: their own system.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: They they're all different, man. They there's a lot of ways.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of ways to do it. But Bunkie's
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: way is a fun way.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: It is a fun way, and it's like everything.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: It's not just fast. It's the way they move the ball.
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: I love.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I mean how quickly they passed the ball and the
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: defensive help that they provide. It's just there's a lot
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: of little things about the kickout. And you know, when
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Reuben Demingus is on, it's like, oh my gosh, that
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: guy's just got a silky smooth shot.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: Where did they come from?
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, where did what you're going where this guy? Yeah,
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I know, because he's just fantastic.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: He's got a little bit of like the Nolan Richardson
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: theme about pressing.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: For forty minutes. Hell, you know, it's like he takes.
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: A little bit of all. Like he said, he's they're
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: fun and a lot of reasons to watch.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: And they give up a few baskets, I mean, you know,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: break the press and some easy ones. But yeah, they
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: also hadst doll You're gonna play, also had a ten
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: second call. They had a five second call, I mean,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: and and at one point Auburn had like, excuse me,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: not Auburn, but uh, Oklahoma had like six turnovers.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: They him had zero to.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Him had seventeen turnovers, So so Am was plus nine
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: on the turnovers.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: And more said you can't have that, right, he said,
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: that's the one.
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: Thing we told them, right, Twelve was the absolute maximum
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: week and a half, and here we are with seventeen.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: But you see, his guys, his guys made bonehead plays
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: at the time.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: But did you see how excited A and M was
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: when they got the five second call or when they
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: got the ten second half call that they were more
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: excited about that than when they hit big three.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just like, Okay, that's cool.
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: Even though that room gets pretty excited when teams us
