• 1:03
  Excuse me, welcome in champ in the chair. It is a Wednesday.
• 1:07
  It's just Wednesday. It's a wet Wednesday. It's a rainy, wet Wednesday.
• 1:11
  I think it's been raining since four am. I don't know that it's
• 1:15
  stopped. You know, it took me, because of my commute, an
• 1:19
  hour and a half to get here today this morning, hour and a half.
• 1:23
  And I know people want to slow it down, and I'm glad they
• 1:26
  slow it down. But then you got people that don't slow it down,
• 1:30
  like eighteen wheelers and just see them like flying through red lights that are red,
• 1:34
  thinking, yeah, that's not gonna end up well. Or somebody that
• 1:37
  tries to like navigate one lane to the next line in front of you in
• 1:40
  wet weather like it's a NASCAR track, knowing that you're gonna wreck. But
• 1:44
  man, traffic, was traffic bad for you? Was it like slow slow?
• 1:49
  It was the first go around this morning when I was on the way
• 1:53
  here at seven. It was pretty ridiculous at that point, just coming across.
• 2:00
  I'm an old fanning old fannin was the worst. Yeah, it's it's
• 2:06
  just bad. I hope nothing bad ever really happens. Like you know,
• 2:09
  I don't know an e MP hit and we lose all kinds of power and
• 2:13
  stuff because people freak out in bad weather, frozen weather, wet weather.
• 2:17
  You know, you look on the m dot app and there's just Rex everywhere.
• 2:21
  She's so careless as people that's not even where. I don't even know
• 2:25
  why I got off on that. I guess because my hair is still wet.
• 2:28
  And by the way, Tina says you need to get with her.
• 2:31
  Yeay, well she needs to get with me. Hey, we're brought to
• 2:36
  you by Maria Star Casino. Yeah, she said, because she asked me.
• 2:38
  She's how's Bee doing? Wouldn't got my haircut today at Patina's Hair Studio,
• 2:40
  the best place in the metro to get your haircut. If you don't
• 2:44
  believe it, ask beav She's he's beam doing Beaf's good. She said,
• 2:47
  well, he probably needs a haircut, and I said, well, his
• 2:51
  bear's getting a little long. Yeah, I need a haircut. I need
• 2:53
  this beard trimmed. Here's what happened. So for some reason she didn't schedule
• 2:59
  and I'm for me in December, so that didn't happen. And then last
• 3:07
  Tuesday was a scheduled appointment. What happened last Tuesday? Snumber eddin. Yeah,
• 3:14
  so I didn't get to go. So I'm feeling wooly. Well,
• 3:19
  what if we got somebody to bring you, you know, like a Walmart
• 3:23
  trimmer. Let's just trim it up here. I got a trimmer, But
• 3:27
  I don't trust anyone but Tina. I mean, we can get that thing
• 3:30
  off, certainly, don't trust Jake Wimberley. We can. You just want
• 3:34
  to take it, take it all off. I'm gonna go take these off,
• 3:38
  take the sides off. Oh that's easy, that's easy. I gotta
• 3:39
  poet knef. We can do that with that. We're brought to you by
• 3:43
  Maristar Casino. Get out and play today. As Kei thought he would join
• 3:46
  us Friday lots to get into with the NFL. We'll check the lines and
• 3:50
  see how they've moved over the last twenty four hours as we get closer to
• 3:53
  Championship Sunday. Championship Sunday, which, by the way, I will die
• 3:58
  on this heel is a batter Football Sunday than Super Bowl Sunday. It's better
• 4:03
  Sunday, It's much better. It's much better than old Tiffany out there that's
• 4:09
  going to show up at your Super Bowl party and probably eat all your chili
• 4:14
  cheese dip and shush you during the halftime show. God forbid, take way
• 4:19
  too much to drink. I'm telling you, Sunday is the best day of
• 4:24
  the year in the NFL. Can we agree on that. I'm still debating
• 4:29
  that. I'm close to agreeing with you, But then you know me,
• 4:32
  I still enjoyed all the hoop loss around in the Super Bowl, not the
• 4:39
  two weeks of talk leading up to it, though, So maybe you know
• 4:43
  what, Yes, maybe for that reason it is because I've told you before,
• 4:48
  I hate that two weeks in between, Because the NFL everything is just
• 4:56
  story. Whether or not it's a flash in the pan five minutes, but
• 5:00
  they'll harp on it for four days, four or five days, and in
• 5:03
  that two weeks, though, you're gonna hear the same story sixty eight thousand
• 5:09
  times. If the Chiefs win win Sunday in the two week period, I'm
• 5:15
  gonna go ahead and set the total. We'll see if Keith can give us
• 5:17
  a line on this at a Maristar of articles that will be out there on
• 5:21
  Taylor, Swift and or Kelsey at thirty in two weeks, fifteen per week.
• 5:27

• 5:28
  Oh? That's low. You're gonna blow past that. Yeah, you're gonna
• 5:31

  five fifteen. Let's see here unnamed Texter football wise, Yes, Championship Sunday
• 6:49
  is better. Super Bowl has many folks around, has too many folks around
• 6:55
  that just want to be there because it's a super Bowl party. That's my
• 6:58
  point. And I don't mind hanging out for the Super Bowl, it's just
• 7:03
  when it gets time for the game, if you're not careful, you'll find
• 7:08
  yourself around a group of people that don't care about the game at all.
• 7:14
  And that that is something I have guarded against over the last probably seven or
• 7:17
  eight years, ten years. Seriously, I mean, I want to watch
• 7:24
  the Like Sunday, I'm gonna perch up like many of y'all probably like you,
• 7:29
  well, where you watch these you may not you watch the forty nine
• 7:31
  Ers game? Will you watch the AFC Championship? Yeah, so we're gonna
• 7:38
  I'll perch up great Sunday afternoon and enjoy whole afternoon and end of the night
• 7:44
  of football. It's fantastic with people you like. Super Bowl Sunday's different.
• 7:48
  Bob, your buddy. He's gonna bring Eric, his buddy. Who oh
• 7:54
  yeah, where Eric's gonna come? Who's Eric? He's my friend. He's
• 7:56
  bringing He's bringing some duck raps. Okay, Eric Scott duck raps. He
• 7:59
  can show up. Michelle says, Hey, I've got a girlfriend. Tina
• 8:05
  she's single, and she makes a great margarita. She's she wants Okay,
• 8:09
  come on. So now you've got all these people at this party and the
• 8:11
  game kicks off, and regardless of where you're at, you're sitting there.
• 8:16
  And here comes Bob, who doesn't give a damn about the Super Bowl.
• 8:18
  He's there for the duck wraps, he's there for the alcohol, he's there
• 8:22
  for the camaraderie, and he's a big deer hunter. Nothing wrong with that.
• 8:28
  Bob's gonna stand right next to you with two minutes to go in the
• 8:31
  first half and a crucial drive and go kill any deer this year. I
• 8:37
  don't hunt, man, don't hunt. Where are you from? Where's your
• 8:41
  mama from? You ever shot a gun? You sh you ever shot a
• 8:43
  rifle? It won't shut up? And you're here, You're here going.
• 8:46
  I just want to watch the play. I just want to watch the game.
• 8:50
  And then here comes Tiffany, who's asking who's going to be on at
• 8:54
  halftime like it is a it can be a disaster. And you see,
• 8:58
  I get worked up about this cause his real life has set me this way.
• 9:01
  With super Bowl parties and Super Bowl gatherings. I don't like it.
• 9:05
  I don't like it at all, to be if I'm being honest. That's
• 9:09
  why this weekend is the best. Should I alienate myself from everyone on Super
• 9:13
  Bowl Sunday, It's probably the best, probably the best idea. I'm thinking
• 9:20
  about it. I'm sure thinking about it all right. Miami Dolphins. Speaking
• 9:24
  of the NFL, the Dolphins and Vic Fangio have mutually agreed to part way.
• 9:30
  Sources tell Adam Schefter and Chris Fowler from ESPN. Fangio will now be
• 9:37
  the top target for the Philadelphia Eagles to hires their defensive coordinator. As the
• 9:41
  deal is expected, Miami is allowing Fangio to leave to be closer to his
• 9:46
  family in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. Fangio and the Eagles had interest working
• 9:50
  together this past year, but the timing didn't work out, so he is
• 9:54
  often Miami is looking for a different defensive coordinator. Acc set their football schedule
• 10:00
  a lot of people, you know, and when you look at they're gonna
• 10:01
  play a lot of Thursday and Friday night games this year with this contract,
• 10:05
  this television contract kind of revamped. When you look, for instance, Thursday
• 10:09
  and Friday night specials, you can get some of this on Thursday nights,
• 10:11
  North Carolina at Minnesota. That's out of conference game, Stanford pitt You can
• 10:18
  get in C State, Weber State, I think it's Weber State, in
• 10:24
  C State Georgia Tech. On Friday. Think about this though, Stanford will
• 10:26
  play Syracuse week four at nine on nine to twenty. On a Friday night,
• 10:33
  Stanford all the way on the one end of the world will travel to
• 10:37
  Syracuse. Also, cal will travel all the way to Wake Forest. So
• 10:45
  some of these great ACC Thursday and Friday matchups. We're gonna get into this
• 10:50
  heavy heavy here in a bit, Rosstellinger as always right out in front.
• 10:58
  There is meetings on Capital Hill going on again about name image and likeness and
• 11:03
  collectives and amid legal suits, threats of NCAA's succession, discovery over Project Division
• 11:11
  I, and congressional delays. Here comes Charlie Baker and Power five commissioners.
• 11:16
  They meet this week in DC to chart a course forward. So you got
• 11:22
  all the players heading to Capitol Hill one last time. This is it.
• 11:28
  This is the one quote. Will they be together or will they be a
• 11:33
  part? We're out of time, one administrator says. A settlement in the
• 11:39
  House antitrust case could be the final straw to the Great Split. Only the
• 11:43
  richest programs can both afford to contribute and operate in a system deemed quote fair
• 11:50
  enough to settle, says lawyer Jerry Kessler. Dramatic change is inevitable. So
• 11:56
  what's about to happen is Charlie Baker is gonna take his ass to Washington and
• 12:01
  try to convince the SEC and the Big ten to jump into his subdivision.
• 12:09
  And we're gonna get into this because it's not gonna go the way Charlie Baker
• 12:15
  thinks it's gonna go. Hence the Great Split could happen in a matter of
• 12:20
  weeks. Gotta take a time out. We're brought to you by Mari Star

• 14:20
  think about that postcard from Arizona? That looks much more pleasing than what we're
• 14:24
  getting over here today, Very very nice setting there in Arizona. All right,
• 14:30
  let's jump into this because it is I don't want to call it D
• 14:35
  Day, but We're almost at D day in college sports. I mean,
• 14:39
  you wondered, when is the collectives? When is in il? When is
• 14:43
  all that's going to change? And it could be right in front of us
• 14:46
  with college sports at a critical juncture? Is Project D one the answer?
• 14:50
  Everything is on the table. What is wrong with Project D one? Will
• 14:54
  Congress play any role? Here's the things to know on this new proposal.
• 14:58
  On d December fifth, NCAA President Charlie Baker unveiled somewhat a somewhat radical proposal
• 15:05
  to modernize the college athletics model in an unprecedented way. Here's what's always interesting
• 15:13
  to me. Politicians do this. People do this now, and it doesn't
• 15:18
  matter. You know, change isn't always good. Just because you're changing doesn't
• 15:22
  mean it's good. Beaver, you ever wear socks shoes with no socks at
• 15:30
  all? So if you didn't wear socks, you know this, you get
• 15:33
  blisters on your feet. Right, that's change, right, you socks shoes.
• 15:37
  But hey, we're going to modernize this and wear no socks. And
• 15:41
  I like the way they always wear this. Modernize like it's going to make
• 15:43
  it better. Recommending direct paid athletes and the creation of a new subdivision.
• 15:50
  The college athletics world reacted to Project D one in a variety of ways.
• 15:56
  While a surprise to many, it was mostly met with fanfare for its progressive
• 16:02
  and bold approach, but some questions question both its roll out few new intimate
• 16:07
  details and its sustainability as long term solutions for the industry's primary issue, how
• 16:14
  to better compensate college athletics. Nearly two months after Project D one grant in
• 16:22
  the Grand reveal, some of the targets at the center of the proposal,
• 16:25
  schools in the Power five are better, Yet Power iiO are not in support
• 16:30
  of the plan, so the Power two. Now that a lot of people
• 16:33
  are starting to references the SEC and the Big ten Power two, there's no
• 16:37
  Power five. It's two, and then there's everybody else. There is a
• 16:42
  disagreement on the proposal's implementation, discord about the NCAA's future in general, growing
• 16:48
  doubts around congressional action a necessary component to the proposal, and most notably,
• 16:56
  further discussion of NCABA succession from schools recis siding at the highest level of sport
• 17:03
  that succession would be the Big ten in the SEC. By the way,
• 17:06
  amidst it all, one of the most challenging times in college athletics history.
• 17:11
  The most powerful executives in the sport, the Power Five Commissioners, gathered this
• 17:15
  week at the nation's capital. They are scheduled to meet on Thursday, that
• 17:19
  would be tomorrow with Charlie Baker and a gathering perhaps to further explore their differences
• 17:26
  and chart a course together or apart toward rectifying the various unsolved issues in the
• 17:33
  industry. As the football offseason arrives, college sport stands at the most significant
• 17:38
  and inflection point in more than one hundred years. Mining legal challenges, some
• 17:44
  with billion dollar tach price tags, threatened to bankrupt the sport. An unruly
• 17:48
  transfer portal in Nio landscapes send football and basketball rosters into a tizzy. The
• 17:55
  tether between major college athletics and higher education continue to wear in, further complicating
• 18:00
  matters. College athletics existence as we know it hinges on the governing even slower
• 18:07
  than than its own congress. Meanwhile, the industry's leaders, originating from different
• 18:14
  geographic and cultural footprints with widened variations of resources, struggle to find a consensus
• 18:19
  both among themselves and with the one hundred and seventeen year old association that presides
• 18:23
  over them, and all the while the commissioners and Baker are scheduled to meet
• 18:29
  the legal challenges against the NCABLEA and conferences provide leaders with a ticking clock,
• 18:33
  said Jet Jury Moorhead, the President of Georgia and chair of the Division one
• 18:38
  Board of Directors. Were running out of time. So what is wrong with
• 18:42
  Project D one, at least in the eyes of some nothing If you ask
• 18:48
  many of those in the NCUBLEA ninety five percent, as Baker likes to refer
• 18:52
  so, Baker saying this Project D one, ninety five percent of the ncableas
• 18:56
  are already in on it. There's a five percent those in Division three,
• 19:02
  Division two and many Division one support a proposal that draws a more official line
• 19:06
  between halves and has nots. Of the NCAA's three divisions, you've got ninety
• 19:11
  seven conference organizations. Despite some anxiety, even those within the ranks of the
• 19:18
  fcs and lower level fbs that would be the Group of five are realistic enough
• 19:22
  to understand that the model only recognizes the growing gap between them and the football
• 19:27
  elites, and it incorporates a framework around it. However, at the power
• 19:33
  five level. There is pushback, especially from those in the Big Ten in
• 19:37
  the SEC. Over the last several weeks, Baker has met with athletic directors
• 19:41
  from three of the five major conferences about Project D one. Pack twelve athletic
• 19:45
  directors are not routinely meeting well, You've only got two of them, by
• 19:49
  the way, and Baker has not met with those from the SEC, a
• 19:55
  conference whose school administrators have privately been critical of the proposal. Meeting with the
• 20:00
  ACC and the Big Twelve were described as banal compared to the meeting held with
• 20:06
  the Big Ten. Baker's hour long in person meeting with the Big Ten administrators
• 20:10
  last week in Chicago turned into proverbial airing of grievances about the plan itself.
• 20:15
  At its heart, Project D one is about deregulation. It seeds control of
• 20:21
  impactful decisions such as athletic compensation, scholarship limitations, roster spots, and the
• 20:26
  high revenue producing schools at the highest producing schools. The proposal comes in two
• 20:32
  parts. One, it permits D one schools to strike inil deals directly with
• 20:37
  their athletes and offers athletes uncapped educationally related enhancements. Part of the proposal is
• 20:44
  on track is on a sort of fast track. The D one Council is
• 20:48
  expected to build a framework around the concept, with recommendations due to the Board
• 20:52
  directors in April, with potential adoption in August two. It creates a new
• 20:57
  subdivision of FBS meant for the highest revenue producing athletic departments, where those schools
• 21:04
  control rule and policymaking. There is an entry fee, though schools and the
• 21:11
  new subdivision would be required to distribute at least thirty thousand dollars per athlete for
• 21:15
  half of the schools, while athletes are excuse me schools athletes while abiding by
• 21:21
  Title nine. Depending on the size of the schools athletic department, the figure
• 21:23
  could range from five million to fifteen million dollars annually. Gripes over the proposal
• 21:29
  range widely, according to conversations that several administration traders sailed with YAOU Sports over
• 21:33
  the last month at the National Championship Game in Houston and NCAA convention in Phoenix,
• 21:40
  and its own proposal strips away more of its own authority, which ironically
• 21:45
  opens up the organization to questions of its own existence from those in major conferences.
• 21:49
  Can't we enforce our own rules and operate our own championships. But some
• 21:55
  take some of the takeaways on this proposal are as follows. And we'll get
• 21:59
  into that. And this is what you're really going to continue to see is
• 22:03
  the SEC and the Big ten does not need the NCAA anymore. The rest
• 22:10
  of the landscape maybe so. And boy, we're gonna get into this,
• 22:15

  Definitely good. You know, there's always a challenge going from you know,
• 23:33
  one school to every school, and Lord knows, there's enough going on in
• 23:37
  college sports to keep me busy. So it's been been a fun transition so
• 23:41
  far and definitely enjoying it, but certainly certainly a crazy time at the very
• 23:45
  least. Let me get your thoughts on a couple of things going on out
• 23:48
  there. One, and of course, I know you guys hit every angle
• 23:51
  with the Sports Business Journal. A lot of people read Sports Business Journal.
• 23:53
  Everything going on at Capitol Hill gathering this week with Charlie Baker, the NCAA
• 23:57
  president, this push for this project d one. You know a lot of
• 24:03
  people saying, hey, this could be where the rubber meets the road,
• 24:04
  the nc double A as far as what we know now versus what could be
• 24:07
  coming, you know, with maybe the split of the quote big two,
• 24:11
  we're talking SEC, Big ten looking into a crystal ball, just ten thousand
• 24:15
  foot fly over. I mean, I don't know that this this project division
• 24:21
  one, everybody coming under this one subdivision. This feels like where this could
• 24:25
  push the SEC and Big ten out to do their own thing. At least
• 24:27
  that's my thoughts. Yeah, I think there's a couple of layers to it.
• 24:33
  I mean, look like, for one, I think the Charlie Baker
• 24:36
  at the NCAA, the new president, probably deserves some credit for you know,
• 24:38
  frankly looking to accomplish something. And I think that that's probably more than
• 24:44
  his predecessor, Mark Ellert can say for a long time, or at least
• 24:47
  you know, being out forefront and trying to get out in front of this.
• 24:49
  Now there's that that said, I think that you know the reality is
• 24:53
  is like the divide between these conferences has kind of already happened, and we're
• 24:56
  seeing it with the you know, the money spent and the divide in terms
• 25:00
  of revenue from media rights deals and things like that. Now, whether this
• 25:06
  is the thing that sort of pushes everything over the edge, I think there's
• 25:08
  certainly that, And I think that that when you talk to a group of
• 25:11
  five ads and commissioners and things like that, that is absolutely a concern they
• 25:15
  have, right, Like, are you making it so that no one has
• 25:18
  access to college football playoff? Are you saying that only the Power five schools
• 25:22
  do? Is it only the whatever thirty teams there are fifty teams that breakoff
• 25:26
  into major college football have access to that? I think that's the biggest question
• 25:30
  that we all have. But that said again, like I think this is
• 25:34
  probably another step towards that. But I think that the reality is is that
• 25:38
  because of the growing divide and finances at all of these schools and even within
• 25:44
  the Power five, not just between the group of five and everyone else,
• 25:47
  that I think is where you see where it feels like this divide is coming
• 25:52
  sooner than later. Benportanoy on your radio, make sure to find him on
• 25:56
  x also Sports Business Journal. When's the edition of the program on Agree?
• 26:00
  And it's so many layers to this thing. We'll see where that goes.
• 26:03
  Hey, your thoughts on. I know you guys, did I believe a
• 26:06
  piece on? You know, the four team playoff era has ended. Now
• 26:08
  we head to the twelve team playoff. This is this is fun because for
• 26:11
  me, at least when you look at it, I mean Ole miss and
• 26:15
  you know this, I mean, look, expectations in this state have already
• 26:17
  hit you know, deftne type right levels already, and we've got much before
• 26:22
  we even get to the kickoff. Tennessee feels like they got a shot.
• 26:25
  You know, you look at Texas, Alabama, Georgia, they feel like
• 26:27
  they all got a shot. You go to the Big Ten, several teams
• 26:30
  that everybody at least you know, half of these conferences feel like they got
• 26:33
  a shot, which kind of makes to me at least makes the sports even
• 26:37
  more interesting as we head into that twelve team playoff. Yeah, I think
• 26:41
  that, you know, that's the reality is that I think that this was
• 26:45
  a good This year I think was a good example of this. Right,
• 26:48
  You had a year where there was a lot of parody in the sport.
• 26:51
  You have a lot of teams that were kind of toward the top of the
• 26:53
  toward the top of the sport, you know, had chances to make the
• 26:56
  four team playoffs. It was a pretty wide open race. You know,
• 27:00
  you didn't have the dominant team like we've had in past years. And I
• 27:03
  think that you know, yes, it was a four team playoff obviously this
• 27:06
  year, but I think it's a good precursor to what we're going to see
• 27:08
  in the in the twelve team era, in that you're going to have a
• 27:11
  lot more fan bases and a lot more programs invested in what's going on and
• 27:15
  late in the season. Now, does that dilute the ball system and all
• 27:18
  of that? Certainly, like there are probably longer standing ramifications on other levels
• 27:22
  that happen outside of the twelve team playoffs, But I do think that kind
• 27:26
  of like I said, you know, you're going to see more teams and
• 27:29
  more fans invested in all of that, and I think that that, you
• 27:30
  know, generally speaking, is a good thing for the state of the sport
• 27:33
  to have more teams that feel like they've got a shot. When you look
• 27:37
  at what happened, How surprised were you when Nick Saban announced he had retired
• 27:44
  or was retiring, and then you know, man talking about being the guy
• 27:45
  behind the guy for Kalyn to bore that's a heck of a job. Yeah,
• 27:49
  you know, I'll tell you a funny story and that you know,
• 27:52
  I was sitting in Phoenix with a couple of my of my media friend folks
• 28:00
  at the NCAA convention and we were sitting in one of the media rooms and
• 28:03
  all of a sudden, you know, Chris Low's before her mescn's report comes
• 28:06
  that you know, Nick Saban is retiring, and we all kind of look
• 28:10
  up and everyone's like what, And you know, a few words that I'm
• 28:15
  probably not allowed to say on there were said, for sure, and everyone
• 28:18
  kind of scrambled and thought, oh man, here we go. And you
• 28:22
  know, I will certainly remember that for the rest of my life. But
• 28:25
  I think that, you know, definitely surprising. I think look like that
• 28:27
  was something that had been thrown out a lot, that there was thoughts that
• 28:30
  maybe Saban was nearing the end. But I think that, you know,
• 28:33
  frankly, we've had this conversation for five years, right like, when is
• 28:36
  Nick Saban going to retire? When is that going to happen? And obviously
• 28:40
  it happened this year, but I think this year was a little bit different.
• 28:41
  He felt like even in just the tone I think, you know,
• 28:44
  hindsight's twenty twenty, but I think just looking at you know, the way
• 28:47
  Saban was this year and the way he interacted with folks, whatever, the
• 28:51
  way he was in interviews, things like that, like it felt a little
• 28:53
  bit different. And I think that that, you know, again, in
• 28:56
  hindsight, that makes it seem like, oh, yeah, of course we
• 28:57
  all knew this. You know, how many people actually knew this? I
• 29:00
  don't know. But to get to the second part of your question, I
• 29:03
  think, you know, when you look at Kaylen de Boor and what he's
• 29:06
  done, I mean, it's such an interesting spot because you know, like
• 29:11
  we've all played this game for however many years, Who's going to be the
• 29:15
  guy to replace Saban? And you know, I mean if you're talking like
• 29:19
  what three weeks ago, four weeks ago, like how many Alabama fans would
• 29:22
  have told you either a who Kaylen de Boor was or B that he was
• 29:26
  going to be the guy to replace Staban. I think is an interesting dynamic
• 29:30
  on a lot of levels. But I think it's an unenviable position. But
• 29:33
  I think you also look at it and in Alabama, had you know,
• 29:37
  basically had their list, right, Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian. You know,
• 29:41
  Mike Norvel and Kaylen Debor were kind of the guys that you know,
• 29:45
  you felt like we're probably in the mix. Obviously it kind of went on
• 29:48
  down the list and he ended up with Debor. And I think that,
• 29:51
  you know, look like the guy who's coming off going to a national championship
• 29:53
  game and getting Washington into a national championship game two years after inheriting a complete
• 29:57
  dumpster fire, like that's not nothing. And I think that it's easy to
• 30:02
  forget that, and you look at you know, he's been a head coach
• 30:04
  for a long time, like it's funny. I was having this conversation with
• 30:07
  a Power five athletic director the other day of you look at guys who have
• 30:11
  won and won recently, and I think, you know, Kaylen Debore is
• 30:15
  a good example. I think lan Flip holds a good example, like winning
• 30:19
  travels and I think that, you know, there's certainly there's always a tendency
• 30:25
  to hire the sort of hot shot offensive coordinator or whoever that is right.
• 30:30
  And I think that you know, when you look at some of these guys
• 30:34
  and in the past they've maybe even passed over for jobs like this or even
• 30:38
  at Washington, right, they've been passed over for jobs like that. And
• 30:41
  the reality is is like there's something to be said for people who either a
• 30:45
  don't have to grow into the job in it being a first head coaching job,
• 30:49
  or b have had long runs of success elsewhere and know how to build
• 30:52
  that. And I think certainly the landscape has changed and shifted a lot,
• 30:56
  and that's, you know, part of it, and that's going to be
• 30:57
  part of the game. But I do think that you know the fact that
• 31:00
  a guy like Klein Debores has one basically everywhere he's been, uh you know,
• 31:04
  I say this as an Indiana grad watching what he did in one year
• 31:07
  at Indiana's frankly nothing short of a miracle on a lot of levels. And
• 31:11
  I think that you know, certainly there are challenges and different challenges of a
• 31:15
  place like Alabama, but I think that you know, of the guys that
• 31:18
  you could hire like you didn't really have a bad option, and I think
• 31:21
  that Alabama ended up in a good spot. You know, even though it
• 31:22
  might be it might take some time to getting used to, you know,
• 31:26
  someone that's not mix sab and controlling the sideline. Make sure to grab him

  to be determined on his status for Sunday. This is gamesmanship, He'll play

• 33:55
  Rappaport, this Hardball meeting may not even happen. The Chargers may not let
• 34:00
  him even get there. So we'll see it between now and tomorrow if the
• 34:04
  Chargers make Harball the guy or if he goes to this this interview. The
• 34:09
  Saints are scheduled to interview with Steelers quarterbacks coach and play caller Mike Sullivan for
• 34:15
  their vacant offensive coordinator job. Per sources, Sullivan will speak with New Orleans
• 34:20
  following his interview with the Raiders. Does that give Saints fans any hope?
• 34:24
  I mean, the Steelers offense was not that good, was it. I
• 34:30
  just I don't understand that. Also, we've got a way too early All
• 34:34
  American team courtesy of ESPN. Let's just look at this. Carson Beck,

  Luther Burton the third Missouri. He could be the best wide receiver in the

  defensive back. I'm just looking at a few of these. Travis Hunter Colorado,
• 35:07
  Barrett Carter Clemson, and James Pierce junior defensive lineman out of Tennessee.
• 35:15
  And Brad Crawford. We'll get to this a little bit in an hour two
• 35:17
  or three. Which programs made the best head coaching hires this cycle and kind
• 35:22
  of got some grades on these coaches. Also, we will talk a little
• 35:27
  bit about Will Rogers and he explains his reasoning for withdrawing out of the transfer
• 35:31
  portal staying at Washington so he will finish his college career this year at Washington
• 35:37
  and amid Los Angeles charger buzz Jim Harball has record setting offer on the table
• 35:43
  from Michigan. Matt Baker reports Florida State and their Board of Trustees is meeting
• 35:50

  Jake, I'll always like it when you have That was yesterday today,
• 36:44
  Jake. Just curious. Have you checked on your bitcoin lately? Man?
• 36:47
  We have not had a bitcoin question in a long time. Beev, how's
• 36:51
  your bitcoin? Let me look bev real time. Let me check my bitcoin.
• 36:53
  I haven't checked in a while. See if I can go over here,
• 36:57
  where's my coin base? And just see how how good this thing's doing.
• 37:01
  If it's real good, Beave, I'm out of here. Well let's
• 37:05
  look. Nope, it's down today. It's been down for two years,
• 37:13
  down for two years, Monkey's riding dogs nothing, Joe a Lot, Jake.
• 37:16
  How did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey hook up? Did they meet on
• 37:21
  match dot com? Beave? Do we know how Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift
• 37:23
  met? How did they meet? Was it match? I don't how they
• 37:28
  met. I have no idea how they met. So you keep wanting to
• 37:32
  talk about her. Now you want me to get into this story about how
• 37:36
  these people met. You know, follow that the obnoxious buffoon that is Kelsey.
• 37:43
  He was on a podcast in July and Taylor Swift had done a concert
• 37:49
  in Kansas City and he started talking about something and he used stupid words like
• 37:55
  I want to thank Taylor for pulling up I hate that phrase. So dumb.
• 38:01
  Anyway, your two friends, Aaron Andrews and CHRISA. Thompson. Yep,
• 38:07
  CHRISA. Thompson is the one who you know, faked the fact that
• 38:12
  she actually interviewed coaches, remember that and would still be doing it if she
• 38:16
  had not admitted it today? Yeah? Yeah, oh she's still there though.
• 38:21
  But anyway, so yeah, they they Kelsey talks about Swifty and then
• 38:28
  they set them up and the rest is history. And so it's thanks to
• 38:31
  them that we've been seeing this for since September. September twenty fourth. Oh,
• 38:37
  we're we're exactly four months into this. How long after the super Bowl?
• 38:44
  Will they last? Hmm? Four months? That's what I'm thinking.
• 38:51
  That's what I'm thinking. Another season, right, like a turn of the
• 38:53
  season last in the spring, something like that. Saint Louis vic Jake,
• 38:58
  have you heard anything about this narrative? People? People, some people making
• 39:02
  a big deal with the way Lamar Jackson speaks. Should it be an issue
• 39:07
  or is it just another internet troll thing? I have not heard this.
• 39:09
  By the way. Also, I'm pushing for a national super Bowl Monday recovery
• 39:13
  holiday. Lol, that would be good. Have you heard I haven't heard
• 39:15
  anything about this Lamar the wait talk. I don't pay it. I don't
• 39:21
  pay attention to all that. I mean, people make fun of the way
• 39:22
  Patrick Mahomes talks. I mean there's people make fun away a lot of people
• 39:28
  talks. But no, I haven't paid attention to that. All right,
• 39:30
  let's see here real quickly before we go to the top of the hour,
• 39:32
  we'll get into some of this. Dion Sanders calls for transfer, a rule
• 39:36
  and a change. He wants players to stick with programs. It's pretty awesome
• 39:39
  in it. Also, Cam Newton says he wants to return to the NFL,
• 39:45
  but only for one team. We'll get into that team de Facto's Super
• 39:47
  Conference. These eighteen college football teams account for fifty percent of all TV viewership.
• 39:52
  Also, scientists warn zombie virus discovered in Siberia could lead to a new
• 40:00
  pandemic. You ready for this. It is an election year, let's see.
• 40:06
  Also, Utah had football coach reveals how much NIO money he needs to
• 40:10
  maintain a competitive roster. So there's a lot we got to get into as
• 40:15
  we move through the rest of the day, and we'll get into some of
• 40:19
  these projections on some of these quarterbacks, best fit practices, as far as
• 40:25
  grades for quarterbacks and where they're at in the transfer portal and where they have
• 40:29
  ended up six R one eight nine seven one zero five to nine. We'll

  Business Journal in hour number one David Glenn with a David Glenn show coming up

  in thirty minutes. David Murray on Mississippi State at five fifteen, Will Rogers
• 42:38
  explains transfer portal withdrawal. Washington returns their quarterback out of the transfer portal back
• 42:45
  and looks like he's going to be the guy at Washington this year. Former
• 42:49
  Missippi State quarterback Will Rogers's withdrawing from the transfer portal and returning to Washington after
• 42:53
  internally joining or initially joining the Huskies a few weeks ago. Years entered the
• 43:00
  portal after Kaitlyn de Boor took the Alabama job, but will remain in Seattle
• 43:05
  under new coach Jed Fish quote some of the guys at Washington, Rogers said
• 43:09
  of the decision to stay with the Huskies via Pete ESPN's Pete Tamil, the
• 43:15
  team went fourteen to one last year. If we can pick up where we
• 43:17
  left off. Obviously it's going to be a tough task, but I think
• 43:21
  it's why you come to Washington. It's obviously a new conference and things like
• 43:25
  that. But I have a lot of faith in coach Fish and feel like
• 43:29
  I'll be ready and we will be ready to compete at a high level.
• 43:32
  So you know, when you talk about Will Rogers, I think he had
• 43:37
  some other options on the table. You know, over the last several weeks
• 43:42
  this made sense though there's not a lot of competition. And it's not that
• 43:46
  Will Rogers or any quarterback is scared of competition. When you got one shot,
• 43:50
  you got one year left, you can't afford to sit. You want
• 43:52
  to be the guy. Do you have any thoughts on him staying at Washington?
• 43:58
  Will you be watching it all? I'll keep you in the loop.
• 44:01
  And so when Missippi State fans you think Missippi State fans will watch and then
• 44:06
  cheer for him to fail, Well, they'd be trying to hope and set
• 44:07
  him up for failure. In the words of space Ghost, I like how
• 44:14
  you inserted there. I'll keep you in the loop. Well, I talk
• 44:17
  about it as if I would not know. I mean, I'm going to
• 44:21
  talk about it, so like you ain't going to choice but to hear it.
• 44:22
  Hey, Dommy, I know that you're not going to see anything or
• 44:25
  hear anything. I'll keep you in the loop because I who was it the
• 44:32
  other day was asking you in personal information about Will Rogers because you were talking
• 44:38
  like you're part of the process, best friends. I don't know who was.
• 44:45
  Probably Joe, It probably was Joe. Probably was Joe. It probably
• 44:50
  was. So Rogers continues on. Rogers opted to use the extra year of
• 44:53
  eligibility from the pandemic shortened season in twenty twenty and return to college football in
• 44:59
  twenty twenty four rather than, you know, take a shot at the NFL
• 45:01
  draft. He said that the NFL experience Fish possesses play a play excuse to
• 45:08
  be played in the end of the decision to come back and to stay at
• 45:12
  Washington because of Fish and his experience with the NFL. Quote that's the play
• 45:15
  on, Rogers said via esp And Coach Fish told me today, I want
• 45:20
  to treat you like a professional football player. I told him that's exactly what
• 45:23
  I wanted and what I'm needing and looking for. So Will Rogers stay at
• 45:27
  Washington. We'll look and see what kind of roster as we move through the
• 45:30
  spring that that could be and could build all right, speaking of coaching hires,
• 45:36
  ranking the coaching hires, this is courtesy of Brad Crawford. Now that
• 45:39
  most of these are set, except for Michigan and Jim Harbaugh. They tier
• 45:45
  these things out Tier I guess one through four and they say too many unknowns.
• 45:51
  These are coaches with too many unknowns. One Brent Brennan at Arizona,
• 45:55
  too many unknowns. Brennan inherits a difficul situation with the Wildcats after Arizona fired
• 46:01
  athletics director Dave Hickey this week for the financial mismanagement of the athletic department,
• 46:08
  and there's just too many unknowns with guys going out of the portal. That's
• 46:14
  a big step up. San Jose State spartans to Arizona. Can he keep
• 46:16
  them relevant in a Big twelve where just a few weeks ago, most people
• 46:22
  myself included, would have said Arizona is the team to beat in the Big
• 46:27
  twelve next year along with the probably Kansas State in Utah. Coach can San
• 46:32
  Jose States formerly of Navy way too many unknowns just because it's San Jose State
• 46:39
  bab ever watched the San Jose State football game. A lot of unknowns out
• 46:44
  there. Tony Sanchez, New Mexico State, way too many unknowns. Jason
• 46:49
  Salvale Wyoming as well. Trent Bray Oregon State promoted from defensive coordinator. You
• 46:55
  know, and again that's another one you talk about. Oregon States, said
• 46:58
  football coach Jonathan Smith, who is now off to Michigan State, and then
• 47:05
  Djua Agoli lay out of that program. Oregon State one of the two holdovers
• 47:09
  in the old PAC two. Now just too many unknowns out there, I
• 47:14
  mean, very fragile ground Tier three. Maybe good moves, but maybe not.
• 47:20
  Pete Limbo Buffalo Limbo helped the South Carolina Gamecocks establish a couple single season
• 47:24
  program records with their kicking, game and coverage units. As the headliner on
• 47:30
  Shane Beamer's staff, however, it's been almost ten years since he was a
• 47:35
  head coach in his last stopples Ball State, so he does have experience in
• 47:38
  the MAC. He goes to Buffalo Spencer Danielson. Did you Ben know Boising
• 47:44
  State had a new football coach? I didn't either. Spencer Danielson is his
• 47:47
  name? One of those not so rare moves. After an interim coach gets
• 47:54
  hot late in the season, wins over the team and the fan base he
• 47:58
  gets the job. Danielson won't find success as a head coach with the Broncos
• 48:04
  because the player will find success with the Broncos because the players love him and
• 48:07
  he understands the championship level and the expectations in Boise. Those in the industry
• 48:12
  say Danielson's has a passion that coaches need, and his team seems to follow
• 48:19
  that passion. So we'll see. Do you know Major apple White was the
• 48:22
  head coach of South Alabama? Major apple White YEP at South Alabama. Bryant
• 48:30
  Vincent is at Louisiana fun Row, good luck, Jeff Levy Mississippi State.
• 48:37
  We know all about that. We've talked about that a lot. He's got
• 48:39
  his work to do. We think Manny Diaz is going to do a Duke.
• 48:44
  Manny Diaz at Duke, back in the head coaching circle. We'll see
• 48:47
  what he does at Duke and Gary Parker or Jared Parker excuse me as at
• 48:54
  Troy formerly of Notre Dame Tier two above average. Do you know Derek Mason's
• 49:02
  back at the head coach. Coach is about Middle Tennessee. Derek Mason back
• 49:06
  in the state of Tennessee. He is at Middle Tennessee. Sean Lewis is
• 49:10
  at San Diego State, Jeff Choate at Nevada, Kurt Signetti Indiana, Bronco
• 49:20
  Mendenhall New Mexico. While he has fallen off the butt. I mean,
• 49:23
  you're talking about Mendenhall who led BYU to eleven straight Bowl appearances, took the
• 49:29
  Virginia job that was just where a lot of coaches go to die, and
• 49:32
  now he's at New Mexico. Back out west. Fran Brown is at Syracuse.
• 49:37
  Bob Chesney James Madison. That's a coach you need to watch. You
• 49:45
  ever heard of Bob Chesney Neither had I up until about a month ago.
• 49:50
  Forty four wins in six years at holy Cross. Forty four wins and six
• 49:53
  years at holy Cross. He hits to James Madison. The next opportunity for
• 49:58
  Chesney is going to be building off James Madison's success in twenty twenty three with
• 50:01
  the brand new roster. Chesney is reportedly detail oriented and enthusiastic, two of
• 50:08
  the qualities that made former Duke coach Kirk Signetti successful in the program. They
• 50:15
  said he has intricate preparation pull up for that. Then the phrase you said
• 50:22
  you like pull up, So we'll see what he does. Maybe Bob Chesney
• 50:28
  is the next Kaitlyn de Boorr in ten years, have no idea. Jed
• 50:34
  Fish at Washington, Scott Walden UTEP a lot of coaching changes out there this
• 50:37
  year Northwestern David Brown elevated from within in Tier one addition elite editions. John
• 50:46
  Somerral to Tulane is going to be interesting because Tulane was built really well under
• 50:52
  Willie Fritz. John Somerol is doing a great job at Troy, so he
• 50:57
  brings a lot of his staff over, including uh former Ole Miss Rebel and
• 51:00
  Brandon Boldon Naive Taylor polkis his co defensive coordinator. So don't expect Troy,
• 51:06
  or should be tu Lane to go much of anywhere. Jonathan Smith at Michigan
• 51:12
  State, Mike Elco Texas A, and m Willie Fritz moves on to Houston.
• 51:16
  And again, here's what's gonna be interesting. And I'm gonna go ahead
• 51:21
  and tell you I think it's gonna be successful. Willie Fritz left Tulane to
• 51:25
  go to Houston. Do you know who his offensive coordinator? Who he hired?
• 51:32
  What was a guy Missippi State that everybody wants to forget. What was
• 51:37
  his name, Officer Barb Brady. Yeah, that's the that's the offense.
• 51:43
  Now you watch, they're gonna have a good offense out there because they're not
• 51:47
  gonna be micro managed from a shadow coach. You watch, he will have
• 51:53
  a good offense at Houston and then State fans go, oh, it's Houston,
• 51:59
  it's not the se See nah, Now he didn't forget how to coach.
• 52:02
  That's gonna be fun to watch. Willie Fritz and what's his face are
• 52:10
  gonna have uh what'd you call him? You called him what it's officer something
• 52:15
  bo Brady. We'll call him bow Brady, Officer bo Brady. They're gonna
• 52:19
  have a great offense out of Houston, mark my words. That's gonna happen
• 52:24
  in Kaitlyn de boor Alabama. So yeah, there's some really good coaches.
• 52:30
  There's a lot of movement in the coaching circles as we move into spring.

• 54:05
  many have noticed or not. But old Levy at MSU is putting together a
• 54:09
  pretty good roster. He is, he really is. And look, we
• 54:14
  talked about this a little bit along the way, and we'll have David Murray
• 54:17
  on whether it's at five point fifteen James page two four seventh sports dot Com.
• 54:23
  Lebby is putting together a nice, at least on paper, roster,
• 54:30
  right, I mean it looks like a roster that at least will be competitive.
• 54:36
  Keep this in mind, Missisippi State was not competitive at all last year.
• 54:42
  That was a bad football team. Did you Is it amazing that they
• 54:45
  beat Arizona? Can you believe that? How in the world did they do
• 54:49
  that? It's just amazing how Misssippi State beat Arizona last year. Let me
• 54:53
  pull up over here. We're gonna pull up. Is that all right?
• 54:57
  See? You don't got me off on a new word now or new f
• 55:00
  raise. You did this pull up like we're gonna pull up the recruiting rankings.
• 55:07
  You hate me right now, You hate me right now. There's no,
• 55:10
  that's not the same. You can't these these dummies house. I heard
• 55:15
  my home say it the one of their Super Bowl victory things that such and
• 55:21
  such came I want to thank him for pulling up. That's what the kids
• 55:25
  like to say. But you can't translate it into I'm gonna pull this up
• 55:30
  on the internet. It's not the same thing. That's such a bad like
• 55:34
  old man dad trying to be cool type deal, isn't it. Yeah,
• 55:37
  Like kids would say, no, Dad, that's not the way that goes
• 55:40
  right. It's not how that's not the same. So pulling up is just
• 55:44
  like showing up. I guess, I guess that's what it's been. I
• 55:50
  would almost take it as a threat, like we're fishing to throw hands,
• 55:52
  like, don't make me come pull up like because if I get out,
• 55:55
  it's on one way or the other. I'm way off track here. Mississippi
• 56:00
  State twenty six in recruiting on on three dot com. I mean, you
• 56:04
  look again, quietly. This team had no talent. Was there a wide
• 56:09
  receiver that scares you? No? Was there running back to scares you?
• 56:14
  Not? Really? Will Rogers was limited. His hands were tied. That
• 56:19
  is an absolute fact. That defense was awful. That coaching staff was inept.
• 56:24
  They'd had no idea what they were doing. It was just a bad
• 56:28
  product. There was some bad advising going on the way that whole thing was
• 56:31
  put together. Those people should be fired, the rest of them. JJ
• 56:37
  Harrell wide receiver, you would think he's gonna have an opportunity to come in
• 56:40
  and contribute. Braylan Burnside, you know, obviously the quarterback position, there's
• 56:46
  going to be an upgrade there because they're gonna run more of a mobile type
• 56:50
  deal. With Michael van Buren obviously freshman, he'll get a look. But
• 56:52
  then the transfer from Baylor, Mario Craver will get, you know, every
• 56:58
  chance he can, you know, and you get not just the young guys
• 57:00
  coming into recruiting, the transfer portal. I mean, they've done a nice
• 57:05
  job and not like Maryland nice. It's better than Maryland nice. Matt Mayfield,
• 57:15
  let's see. Let me go down here. Kevin Coleman comes back in
• 57:20
  the state from Louisville, he'll have an opportunity to come back to the state
• 57:24
  of Mississippi. And of course, if I remember right, Kevin Coleman played
• 57:30
  on Greenville Saint Joe, Greenville Saint what was it, Greenville Christian. I
• 57:35
  think he did. Somebody crate me if I'm wrong on that. Think he
• 57:37
  was at Greenville Christian. I mean several players linebackers. Stone blatant coming back
• 57:45
  this way from South Carolina. It is it's a nice roster. This team
• 57:49
  will be much more competitive and easier on the eyes to watch than last year.
• 57:53
  Can we make a case that last year for Missippi State football was worse
• 58:00
  than anything you've probably seen in the last thirty years, worse than the Kreum
• 58:05
  years, by the way, what do you think could you make that case?
• 58:13
  I don't know about worse. It was extremely similar, but I don't
• 58:16
  know that he can get that much worse than what Crum's last season four and
• 58:23
  eight. And it felt I remember it kind of felt worse than that keeping
• 58:30
  up with it. So I don't know about worse, but it was definitely
• 58:35
  as bad. It was as bad for sure. Nick from Clinton, Hey
• 58:40
  Jack, what happened to John Wiener? Is he still on the radio?
• 58:47
  That is? There's so much that is just wild with this Who is Jack?
• 58:54
  Nick? Nick? He's always well you remember he was all He's the
• 59:00
  third He was always the third member of that. Remember Tug and mister smh.
• 59:07
  Yeah, And I think they worked with Nick and Nick was always the
• 59:13
  kind of the clown of the group. And we see why, like Jack,
• 59:16
  your name's not Jack. Hey, what happened to John Wiener? Is
• 59:20
  he on the radio? Do you hear him? Because he was on at
• 59:23
  this time and Jake replaced him and that was eight years ago, Nick,
• 59:29
  where have you been almost two decades? So no, he's not on the
• 59:32
  radio. He moved somewhere else and changed his name. Jonathan Bruce is what
• 59:38
  he calls himself. Now. I just got light headed because every bit of
• 59:45
  that is true. It's just the way you put it. Yeah, he's
• 59:46
  not even John Wiener is no more. It's Jonathan Bruce and he's on a
• 59:53
  TV set somewhere in obscure West Texas, I think somewhere out there possum,
• 59:59
  Nick, Joe, Jake, you and I have to keep up with Noodle
• 1:00:04
  Rodgers because we have a bet. You said thirty five thirty five thousand,
• 1:00:10
  Joe thirty five thousand passing yards ex Missippi State Joe. Is Joe fudging or
• 1:00:17
  did he like add one too many zeros? I think there was the typo
• 1:00:22
  because you did say thirty five hundred Yeah. I almost just stick with that
• 1:00:25
  thirty five hundred yards, thirty five touchdowns, eight interceptions, But at the
• 1:00:30
  same time knowing Joe. He might be exaggerating a little bit too. He
• 1:00:37
  also says Mississippi State baseball player Brad Freeman is going to be the back judge
• 1:00:43
  for the Super Bowl crew. I did see that. That's pretty cool.
• 1:00:45
  That is pretty pretty cool. All right. Let's see here six R one
• 1:00:49
  eight, five, three, seven seven six. Squaz Croom lost to Maine,
• 1:00:53
  but this year's team felt extremely bad as well due to the success the
• 1:00:58
  last two coaches. Hadsolutely pt for MSU Jonathan Bruce. Yikes, Hey,
• 1:01:04
  I'm just we're just reporting the news to Nick and Clinton. He wanted to
• 1:01:09
  know John Winner does not exist anymore. It's Jonathan Bruce. It's very Newsy,
• 1:01:15
  isn't it. It's almost kind of like Anchorman. All right, Let's
• 1:01:21
  see here real quickly. NFL data suggests officiating will side with the Chiefs in
• 1:01:30
  the AFC title game. Do you think the officials are on the side of
• 1:01:37
  the Chiefs This weekend and NFL data analysts suggests the officiating could side with the
• 1:01:44
  Chiefs in their upcoming AFC Championship game versus the Revens. That theory revolves around
• 1:01:49
  one particular referee who will lead the crew on Sunday. That man's name is
• 1:01:54
  Sean Smith, and according to Warren Sapp, he favors the road team more
• 1:01:59
  than any other official in the NFL. Quote, home teams have only won
• 1:02:04
  forty point eight percent of games in the last three years with Smith as a
• 1:02:09
  referee. That's the lowest win rate of any referee in the NFL. For
• 1:02:15
  reference, home teams have a fifty five percent win rate over that time,
• 1:02:20
  nearly fifteen points higher than the outcomes of Smith. Called contest. Sharp also
• 1:02:28
  looked against the spread, where the percentage drops even further under Smith. Quote,
• 1:02:32
  home teams are only seventeen twenty nine to three against the spread. That's
• 1:02:38
  thirty seven percent in the last three years. Look at Warren Sapp coming in
• 1:02:42
  here spent all kinds of good numbers. The researcher then went back and further
• 1:02:49
  than just three years, claiming that Smith boasts the lowest home team win rate
• 1:02:52
  in the NFL dating back to twenty eighteen. The data could spell bad news
• 1:02:55
  for the top seeded Baltimore Ravens, having the pose at home field advantage.
• 1:03:01
  This is interesting news or interesting stuff. Quote. Smith has shown a huge
• 1:03:07
  tendency to call penalties that favor road teams in a way no other ref has
• 1:03:09
  done in the NFL. He further breaks down those numbers uh in a game
• 1:03:15
  preview. For what it's worth, Kansas City has played much better on the
• 1:03:17
  road this season than they have at home. Are you buying this some pretty
• 1:03:22
  lofty numbers? I can't believe because I do not want to see two weeks
• 1:03:30
  of Taylor Smith. But I think it's over for the Ravens this weekend.
• 1:03:32
  This has sold me the Chiefs are gonna win. And will they be a
• 1:03:37
  pivotal call from this Smith guy? Very well? Could happen? Hey,

  sports and more on your radio. David, thank you so much for taking
• 1:04:49
  some time, sir. How are you? I'm doing great. Jake's good
• 1:04:53
  to be with you again. Hey, appreciate you joining us. All right,
• 1:04:55
  I'm gonna work my way inside the ACC in the back out, and
• 1:04:58
  I do want to hit a basketball. Two question before we get on the
• 1:05:00
  ACC. Florida State Matt Baker reported earlier today Florida State Board of Trustees meeting
• 1:05:05
  to discuss a potential internal bank loan to athletics for quote potential non capital strategic
• 1:05:11
  initiatives. It seems like every time you wake up there's something different with Florida
• 1:05:15
  State wanting out of the league, NCAA probation bank loans, this ACC,
• 1:05:20
  Florida State marriage. I just don't know, is there any way that this
• 1:05:25
  is going to work. Well, they're going to get a divorce. It's
• 1:05:29
  just a matter of time and for how much money. And the bottom line
• 1:05:33
  is that this is a precarious position for the ACC, which is seventy one
• 1:05:39
  years old and it has survived the departure of other members. But in this
• 1:05:44
  particular case, Florida State is the biggest and best football brand that the ACC
• 1:05:48
  has, I mean, and part of that is just more people watch Seminoles
• 1:05:53
  games than watch, on average, the games of any other ACC member.
• 1:05:57
  And we all know that football is the tail and the dog these days in
• 1:06:00
  football TV. Money is what keeps these athletic departments wealthy. Men's basketball a
• 1:06:06
  long time ago was fifty percent of the money by some estimates. Now men's
• 1:06:11
  basketball is only nineteen or twenty percent of the money and football is in that
• 1:06:15
  eighty percent neighborhood. So the bottom line is Florida State would love to leave
• 1:06:20
  for zero money, no exits, v no grant of rights, media loss,
• 1:06:26
  and as Florida State's own attorneys have outlined, the maximum that they would
• 1:06:30
  have to lose or pay is five hundred and seventy two million dollars. So
• 1:06:38
  don't I don't think either of those extremes is going to be the final product
• 1:06:42
  as this plays out over a period, you know, a period of multiple
• 1:06:45
  years in the courts. But obviously, if FSU leaves for one hundred million,
• 1:06:50
  that would invite others to try to leave. But if FSU was forced
• 1:06:54
  to pay or lose four hundred million, I think others would hesitate to leave
• 1:06:59
  for that's severe of a fee. So it's in front of the judges.
• 1:07:02
  There's dueling lawsuits. There's two different states involved in those lawsuits. So there's
• 1:07:09
  jurisdiction battles and a whole bunch of other things that I will not bore your
• 1:07:14
  listeners with even though I've practiced it. I've been an attorney here in North
• 1:07:17
  Carolina since nineteen ninety four. That has helped me more in my sports media
• 1:07:21
  career than I ever thought it would. And that's the case with this Florida
• 1:07:25
  State a sec dueling lawsuit situation. David Glenn on your radio, make sure
• 1:07:29
  to follo him on exit David Glenn Show. That's David Glenn Show. Check
• 1:07:32
  them out online at David Glennshow dot com. Yeah, you know, David,
• 1:07:35
  this is interesting to me because when you look at the league and I
• 1:07:38
  want to get your thought on the football league. I mean Florida State obviously
• 1:07:41
  we know about the undefeated season getting snubbed if you look at it on that
• 1:07:44
  side or not by the nc double asking me by the College Football Playoff Committee.
• 1:07:47
  But you look at the year Florida State had. You look at Louisville
• 1:07:50
  the year that they had a ten win team, n C State again quietly
• 1:07:55
  with a nine win team, you know, Clemson nine wins. You know,
• 1:07:59
  where is that program under Dabosweeney? Is it kind of an idle?
• 1:08:01
  You look at Duke Mandy Diz comes into the program, into that program in
• 1:08:04
  North Carolina. I mean it's a very competitive, competitive league. So and
• 1:08:09
  I know it's all about money for Florida State, but you got smu now
• 1:08:12
  that will play football there, Stanford will play football there. Competitive wise,
• 1:08:16
  I mean it's it's you know, outside of the SEC and the Big ten.
• 1:08:19
  I mean, it's it's right there at number three. Yeah, it
• 1:08:23
  is the solid league. And you know, people forget that Florida State finished
• 1:08:27
  in the top ten and Clemson, NC State and Louisville all finished in the
• 1:08:30
  top twenty five. And as you mentioned, it was the rare down year
• 1:08:33
  for the Clempson Tigers. I personally think they're going to bounce back. And
• 1:08:38
  they've certainly been one of the most successful college football teams in the country for
• 1:08:42
  the last decade or so, including two national championships under Dabos Sweeney. Then
• 1:08:46
  at one point, what was its seven or eight straight ACC football championships for
• 1:08:53
  the Clumpson Tigers. So there's certainly quality at the top, there's some depth,
• 1:08:59
  but really the bottom line jas goes back to the money that you mentioned,
• 1:09:02
  And one big difference here in ACC country is that not as many people
• 1:09:08
  on average watch ACC football compared to the number of people who watch Big ten
• 1:09:15
  football or SEC football. Now you're right in the middle of SEC country.
• 1:09:18
  You could probably teach a class on SEC football. They not only win the
• 1:09:23
  most national championships and other accolades, but they also have intensely passionate fan bases
• 1:09:30
  that watch in huge numbers, sometimes even when their favorite team is not all
• 1:09:35
  that great. And in the Atlantic Coast Conference, yes, Florida State fans
• 1:09:42
  tend to watch in huge numbers, Clemson fans tend to watch in huge numbers.
• 1:09:45
  But putting aside the wins and losses, most of the other fan bases
• 1:09:50
  in the ACC do not watch football in as huge numbers as you see for
• 1:09:58
  a larger number of Big Ten Pro and a larger number of SEC programs.
• 1:10:02
  So what happens is when these commissioners sit down with their TV partners. Believe
• 1:10:06
  it or not, wins and losses are a smaller part of the conversation.
• 1:10:10
  The bigger part of the conversation is what is the last year shown? What
• 1:10:14
  are the last five years shown? What are the last ten years shown?
• 1:10:16
  When it comes to how many SEC fans are watching football and how many ACDC
• 1:10:23
  fans are watching football not just for the best teams, but you know,
• 1:10:26
  these TV partners are paying for the whole package, so they want to know
• 1:10:30
  from A to Z who's watching a lot of football. And back in the
• 1:10:33
  day, even twenty years ago, jake basketball men's basketball money was roughly the
• 1:10:40
  equivalent for some leagues as the football TV money. Well, those days are
• 1:10:45
  over and the ACC is more famous for men's basketball, it is less famous
• 1:10:49
  for football. A lot of these schools fan bases are more into basketball than
• 1:10:55
  they are into football. And remember, unlike the SEC in the Big Ten,
• 1:11:00
  the ACC has a bunch of smaller private universities whose alumni bases are simply
• 1:11:05
  not as large. And that's another thing that depresses the TV eyeballs. The
• 1:11:12
  funniest, weirdest, most ridiculous aspect of the Florida State lawsuit is that they're
• 1:11:16
  accusing the AHDC commissioners of not negotiating, not negotiating TV deals that are as
• 1:11:23
  good as the TV deals of the SEC at the Big Ten, and they're
• 1:11:26
  leaving out the most obvious fact that they're leaving it out on purpose because they
• 1:11:30
  know it makes their their argument look bad. The SEC and the Big Ten
• 1:11:34
  commissioners are essentially negotiating with aces and kings and queens in their hands. Why,
• 1:11:41
  because not only do their teams win a lot in football, their fans
• 1:11:45
  watch way more football than ACC fans do on average over a many year period.
• 1:11:53
  That's the John Swafford, former ACC commissioner and the current AEC commissioner.
• 1:11:58
  Yeah, they have that third or fourth best in some years football product,
• 1:12:02
  but they also have the third or fourth best TV eyeball number. And when
• 1:12:06
  you're negotiating from that position, obviously you have much less leverage to demand bigger
• 1:12:14
  dollars. Whether your partner is ESPN, CBS or anybody else. David Glenn
• 1:12:17
  talking ACC Sports and of course NCAA Sports. David Glenn Show in the Great
• 1:12:21
  State of North Carolina wins the edition of the program, David that takes me
• 1:12:24
  to Capitol Hill tomorrow where Charlie Baker and Power five commissioners will meet in DC
• 1:12:30
  and discuss this project d one this subcommittee or is this subconference that Baker wants
• 1:12:36
  people to jump into? But then you look at the SEC particularly and the
• 1:12:41
  Big Ten, they said no, a lot of people saying, hey,
• 1:12:43
  this will run out of time. This could be where the split happens.
• 1:12:45
  What do you think ultimately happens? And I'm asking you to look into a
• 1:12:48
  crystal ball here, But yeah, logistically, I mean, this is fascinating
• 1:12:53
  that we're kind of, you know, everybody says, what's going on with
• 1:12:55
  NIL, what's going to happen with transfer portal? We may know a lot
• 1:12:58
  this week. It's fascinating and it is hard to predict. The funny part
• 1:13:02
  about is that the nc double A has told Congress for basically one hundred years
• 1:13:06
  in a row, please stay out of our business. We don't want you
• 1:13:11
  sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. This is the exact one hundred and
• 1:13:15
  eighty degree reversal of that. The NC double A is essentially going to Congress
• 1:13:18
  and saying, tell us what the rules should be. Because if Congress were
• 1:13:23
  to give the NC DOUBLEA some kind of an anti trust exemption, well then
• 1:13:28
  whatever Congress says the new rules are going to be, the NC double A
• 1:13:30
  can just you know, wave its hands and say that's what Congress decided the
• 1:13:33
  future of college sports was going to look like, don't sue us anymore.
• 1:13:38
  I don't think that's going to happen. It's it's where this is going is
• 1:13:43
  complicated, and I believe one probable solution is that at some point, whether
• 1:13:48
  they call it a union or not, there's going to have to be negotiations
• 1:13:53
  between universities and somebody representing athletes because the NC double keeps getting sued and keeps
• 1:14:00
  losing every time they try to limit something, whether it's transfers or assistant coaches.
• 1:14:05
  Back in the day, they lost a lawsuit because they tried to limit
• 1:14:10
  the compensation of an extra assistant coach. They got sueds there and they lost.
• 1:14:14
  They've gotten sued over video games and lost. I mean, you know,
• 1:14:17
  for any fans of the Harlem Globe Trotters, you know their opponent,
• 1:14:20
  the Washington Generals, is the team that's basically paid the lose. The nc
• 1:14:24
  DOUBLEA has about the same winning percentage in lawsuits that the Washington Generals have against
• 1:14:30
  the Harlem Globetrotters. And the NCUBA knows that it's in a position of weakness,
• 1:14:33
  and that's why they're begging Congress to create this new world for amateur athletics.
• 1:14:40
  It is going to be really hard to get Congress degree on one system.
• 1:14:45
  It's going to be really hard to get all these large schools and conferences
• 1:14:48
  degree to agree on a single system. People can forget. One of the
• 1:14:53
  reasons we didn't get the twelve team playoff a couple of years earlier when we
• 1:14:57
  could have it was because the people at the table couldn't decide how to how
• 1:15:00
  to divide the money. And man, you got this new world of college
• 1:15:05
  athletics. You're gonna have TV executives at the table. You're gonna have the
• 1:15:10
  begging for Congress to intervene. But at some point, I believe there's gonna
• 1:15:15
  have to be a miniature version of what we have in professional sports, and
• 1:15:18
  the bottom line in pro sports that people forget sometimes is an NBA draft or
• 1:15:23
  an NFL draft would be absolutely illegal against all sorts of laws unless those leagues
• 1:15:32
  negotiated with those players associations and both sides are represented by attorneys, and the
• 1:15:38
  players association said, okay, we'll accept the draft, but we want these
• 1:15:42
  other you know, we want these mega million dollar contracts for our players and
• 1:15:45
  slotted draft picks and all that stuff. At some point, that kind of
• 1:15:50
  negotiation, collective bargaining they call it, is going to be a part of
• 1:15:55
  college sports, and that could have. That could have either with the current
• 1:16:00
  version of the NCAA or it could evolve with that example that you're mentioning,
• 1:16:06
  where you know, sixty schools or some number break away from everybody else and
• 1:16:11
  just do it their own way. Make sure to find him on Exit David

  in talking Florida State, the ACC, the NCAA, and wherever all this
• 1:18:21
  is headed. We'll have David Murray on at five point fifteen. We'll talk
• 1:18:27
  Missippi State basketball, some football. As rubber meets the road kind of in
• 1:18:30
  college basketball is about to happen for just about everybody. Let's see here CWR
• 1:18:36
  on the Cowboy Malowney text line. This tells you all you need to know
• 1:18:40
  about the ACC. Notre Dame has refused to join the conference in football.
• 1:18:45
  Notre Dame knows the ACC is not any good. They have their own deal
• 1:18:48
  and don't want to give it up, and Notre Dame is garbage. Excuse
• 1:18:53
  me, Well, yeah, they're going to make more money on the NBC
• 1:18:56
  deal than they what would join the ACC. Of course, I don't know
• 1:19:00
  where this whole ACC thing is going to go. If Florida State can find
• 1:19:03
  a way out, and that's what they're trying to do. Like David said,
• 1:19:09
  I mean, this is a divorce that's going to happen. It's just
• 1:19:11
  that at what expense is it going to happen? If Florida State finds a
• 1:19:15
  way out that looks pleasing to the eye of the others. Meaning, hey,
• 1:19:19
  well, I think financially we can kind of do what they just did.
• 1:19:23
  Then the ACC is done, it's over. I don't know that it
• 1:19:27
  goes the route of the PAC twelve, meaning goes away. Do you think
• 1:19:30
  the ACC would totally go away? I mean, there's no way to really
• 1:19:34
  know that, but maybe. I mean, like David said, there's a
• 1:19:36
  lot of private institutions in the ACC, A lot of proud institutions in the
• 1:19:42
  ACC. Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, Virginia, I mean,
• 1:19:48
  Boston College, Georgia Tech. There's me that's still not even including the Louisville,
• 1:19:54
  the Pitts of the world, the U Miami, Clemson. But if
• 1:20:00
  Florida State was to leave and then Clemson leave, you would got to think
• 1:20:03
  Miami would want out as well, and that would essentially destroy this league as
• 1:20:08
  a football conference. Again, that's why we got two two conferences. Jason
• 1:20:14
  and Flagstaff says that Will Rodgers was the only hope that team had last year.
• 1:20:20
  In frankly, he's the only reason offensively the team moved the ball enough
• 1:20:24
  for a defense to win seven to nine games in twenty one to twenty two.
• 1:20:28
  Also, Madden Forrest, I am one hundred percent convinced after the Buffalo
• 1:20:33
  game that the officiating always sides with the Chiefs and the playoffs. I look
• 1:20:39
  for Kelsey to come out of the locker room at halftime during the Super Bowl
• 1:20:43
  and propose to Swift while Usher is Usher sings nice and slow. Do you
• 1:20:48
  think that's really going to happen? Are we really going to be subjected to
• 1:20:53
  this if they make it to the Super Bowl? Like Kelsey coming out now,
• 1:21:00
  he's got me thinking about this. It's halftime, the whole show is
• 1:21:04
  going on. Here comes Kelsey, like Aaron Rodgers, out of the tunnel
• 1:21:09
  with an American flag or whatever he's got. Swift gets on some sort of
• 1:21:14
  a rip chord and she comes out of the press, out of the luxury
• 1:21:19
  box down to the field and they have this proposal. Is that really going
• 1:21:26
  to happen at the Super Bowl? I want to tell you no, But
• 1:21:33
  the NFL they love this attention they've been getting because of this stuff, so
• 1:21:40
  I can't rule it out. It's so stupid and ridiculous sounding that it could
• 1:21:44
  absolutely go down. I mean, just I envisioned her coming out of the
• 1:21:50
  luxury box on this cable all the way down to the field. In that
• 1:21:58
  happening right in front of God and everybody, and everybody's just like wow,
• 1:22:03
  and all these young girls at the Super Bowl parties are crying and I'm just
• 1:22:08
  throwing up, and it's just like what do I would almost be done at
• 1:22:11
  that point with a Super Bowl, like totally done with it. You might
• 1:22:15
  as well put it behind a paywall at that point. Yes, yes,
• 1:22:20
  Like you asked me the other day, did I think they that could ever
• 1:22:24
  be a streaming thing that you have to pay for? Nope, But at
• 1:22:29
  that point all bets are off and since you're not, since you're out on
• 1:22:32
  it, yeah, I mean they'll start paying for it. They're that one
• 1:22:36
  kind of incident away from a WWE event, are they not? With the

  It's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, a little bit on Saturday. Okay,
• 1:24:29
  how's that fist to navigate flooded roads? Just fine? Why are you rooting
• 1:24:39
  for her to fail? No, I'm just curious, like but I would
• 1:24:42
  like to put it through the ultimate test of this. Let's see you ever
• 1:24:45
  taken it. You know that vidoc downtown? Do you know how to speak
• 1:24:47
  of? Off of All forty nine? That's where a lot of people get
• 1:24:50
  their vehicle stuck. It floes down through there. They'll think that they can
• 1:24:55
  take their vehicle through the under the vytoc and they end up getting stuck.
• 1:24:59
  Some hicgals make it and some don't. Excuse me. It'd be the ultimate
• 1:25:01
  test. We should go down there tomorrow and test it and see if we
• 1:25:06
  can make it through the viydoc. Where is this? Tell me exactly where
• 1:25:11
  you speak of? Let's see if you go from here back south, go
• 1:25:15
  to Old forty nine and it's right there, butts into eighty for you to
• 1:25:23
  eighty, not too far from Pearl City. I'll show you on them out.
• 1:25:31
  It could be fun. We can put it on the little tiki talk.
• 1:25:34
  What do you think? Okay, I've already figured this out. See
• 1:25:41
  you you've you've brought this up too much now because you've tried seven times now
• 1:25:48
  this season to get me to bet the fista. Now you want me to
• 1:25:53
  take it down into a flooded place. You just want this thing to die.
• 1:25:57
  You want me to lose my car. That's what's going on here now.
• 1:26:00
  I would never want you to lose your car. Then how are you
• 1:26:03
  gonna get to work? I've asked that every time, and you don't seem
• 1:26:08
  to be concerned about it. Every other time I think you're well, maybe
• 1:26:12
  not. Do you live too far to ride a bicycle? Yeah? And
• 1:26:15
  yeah the spillway's too far to run across. Unless you're res Dog, then
• 1:26:19
  you're not Red Dog. Boomer sooner on the cawbol Maloney's text signed Super Bowl

  Because you're too smart. Apparently your mind connects words that should be there and

  doesn't take into account another failed text from Nick College Football's rain man. Let's
• 1:28:25
  see it reads. I thought it said, well, this'd be the best
• 1:28:28
  halftime show ever, but it reads is this will the best super Bowl halftime
• 1:28:33
  show ever? Nick from Clinton is on a heater today, Nick, just
• 1:28:40
  take the next few plays off, man, Like, no, I don't
• 1:28:45
  know what you're wording here is either but no, there's no way. Why
• 1:28:50
  would you insinuate that this would be the best super Bowl halftime ever. Let's
• 1:28:58
  start with why would you and in sinuate it's gonna be a good halftime show,
• 1:29:01
  let alone the best ever. That's nonsense. You're not old enough to
• 1:29:06
  remember, Prince or you're beloved Michael Jackson. I'll give you Michael Jackson first
• 1:29:13
  one ever. Man, it's gonna it's hard to top that. And I
• 1:29:15
  know, like there's more stuff going on these days versus the first one.
• 1:29:21
  But that first one because he bucked the city, like the whole I think
• 1:29:28
  we've talked about this. You saw how that whole thing went down, right,
• 1:29:30
  And he was supposed to give a queue when it kicked the music in
• 1:29:32
  all and he didn't give a que and everybody was panicking. It's like,
• 1:29:35
  what is he doing? Well, he's Michael Jackson. He took the thing
• 1:29:38
  into his own hands and then it just went off. And that's like where
• 1:29:42
  the whole thing started, because you know what was there prior to that,
• 1:29:45
  It was just like high school bands, college band. I mean, you
• 1:29:48
  know, normal halftime stuff. Mm hm. So you still have to put
• 1:29:53
  the first one to me at the top. Now, there's been obviously some
• 1:29:57
  great ones since then, and there's a whole lot more going on now.
• 1:30:02
  I'm sticking with Prince. Prince was good. Prince was really good. Then
• 1:30:06
  I'll give your Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars. I'll tell you this, Nicholas,
• 1:30:12
  Maroon five will end up being go down as a better halftime show than
• 1:30:16
  Usher. Maroon five was good. No, Maroon five was not good.
• 1:30:23
  It wasn't bad. It was he was very bad. You don't remember this
• 1:30:27
  either? Why are these short memories happening here? Do I need to go
• 1:30:30
  back? And I'm sure it's on YouTube? Do I need to go back
• 1:30:31
  and watch it? Yeah? Look at that doucher Adam Levine out there.
• 1:30:36
  I gotta take my shirt off. You don't remember this, and he's got
• 1:30:41
  it. I do remember that. I forgot about that. I totally forgot
• 1:30:45
  about that. And Bruno Mars was good, very underrated, I thought,
• 1:30:50
  very very good. Nick from Clinton driving my bad beave, So he's driving.
• 1:30:57
  Hey. Cam Newton says he'll come back to the NFL, but it's
• 1:31:00
  only gonna be a one team. Would you like to guess who this team
• 1:31:03
  is? Falcons? Did you already see this? Yeah? It was the
• 1:31:09
  Falcons. I saw this article and I just kept thinking because the headline was
• 1:31:13
  Cam Newton says he will only return for one team, and my thought was,
• 1:31:17
  but zero are asking you so why? Well? Newton was on Good
• 1:31:26
  Morning Football Tuesday and was asked by former Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall what
• 1:31:30
  three teams he would come back to. His response to the question was a
• 1:31:34
  little bit of a surprise quote, it's not even three, it's just one.
• 1:31:38
  Really me having you know, a family now, It's always been about
• 1:31:43
  family, and I don't see myself leaving Atlanta, So it's not If it's
• 1:31:46
  not Atlanta, I don't want to I don't want to do it. That's
• 1:31:50
  interesting considering do you think he uh obviously didn't have a problem playing in New
• 1:31:56
  England? Did he? I mean I know he had a saying with Bill
• 1:31:59
  Belichick. So the fact that it could be Bill Blichick to Atlanta, do
• 1:32:01
  you think it Belichick would give him a shot in Atlanta? Does he have
• 1:32:04
  any shot of coming back? Six er one eight, eight, five,
• 1:32:09
  three, seven seven six. That is the Cawvin Maloney's text lie. Deon
• 1:32:12
  Sanders calls for transfer portal rule change. Wants players to stick with a program
• 1:32:17
  coach prime, one of college football's top portal users, is calling for a
• 1:32:20
  change to the sports current transfer rules. He believes that if players that player.
• 1:32:26
  He believes players need to stick to their commitments, as opposed to having
• 1:32:29
  free reign. On three Sports reference to a recent interview where Dion Sanders was
• 1:32:33
  heard saying there needs to be more quote stick to it initiatives in what's essentially
• 1:32:40
  becoming free agency. Do you think that Dean Sanders really means this? I
• 1:32:47
  mean you trymind a guy who had seventy guys come in last year. Sanders
• 1:32:50
  believes the coaching changes should be the only consideration in transfer portal decisions. Quote
• 1:32:57
  what I think it should be. It should always be. If you're coach
• 1:33:00
  leaves, you can leave. If your coach leaves, you can leave.
• 1:33:02
  Other than that, we've got to have some more stick to it initiatives because
• 1:33:06
  now this is what you're dealing with. That's very interesting to hear him come
• 1:33:12
  out and say that, because well, I'm just trying to think, like,
• 1:33:18
  how would he justify him with this rationale? What has happened at Colorado
• 1:33:24
  over the last two years. Yeah, Jackson State's coach, him left,
• 1:33:28
  Colorado's coach was fired, So maybe he justifies it that way and saying,
• 1:33:31
  hey, you know I left, so they're open. He left, so
• 1:33:38
  they're open. But still everybody, I don't know. It's hard to get
• 1:33:41
  inside this man's head and figure out what he's talking about. Hey, we're

  seven sports dot Com on you Radio, David, Happy Wednesday. I don't
• 1:35:04
  know how it is where you're at, but it has been rain, rain,
• 1:35:06
  rain, and we got it all the rest of the week. How
• 1:35:09
  are you same here at It's a good day for getting work done. I'll
• 1:35:14
  have to say that did a piece on Josh Hubbard today. Will he move
• 1:35:17
  into the starting lineup at some point and maybe pull out a reminder that sometimes
• 1:35:23
  I've known players who've done better off the bench, Flashing back you know to
• 1:35:28
  Tony Watts, say nine ninety one, where he was he'd get too amped
• 1:35:31
  up and nervous if he started a game, but if he watched for a
• 1:35:33
  couple of minutes, would come in be instant offense. Well, Hubbard's been
• 1:35:38
  pretty much instant offense. I think he's sixteenth in the SECN scoring. He's
• 1:35:42
  got more three pointers than the rest of the starting lineup put together. So
• 1:35:46
  I just wonder at some point does he mix in there or does Chris Jans
• 1:35:49
  keep with what he's been doing. I know Deshaun Davis has struggled at the
• 1:35:54
  guard position there of late. But anyway, tonight's game that Gainsville are just
• 1:36:00
  from Jean's page will be covering it in person down there, so we'll get
• 1:36:02
  some tips from the lineup. But it's a game the Bulogs really really neat
• 1:36:06
  to win ahead of hosting Auburn, because you keep the track of that net.
• 1:36:12
  There were forty as of yesterday, but still a long way to go,
• 1:36:15
  and you can you can make a lot of ground up if you you
• 1:36:19
  can steal a win against the number forty five Florida on the road. Yeah,
• 1:36:24
  let's and let's go right there. I want to go basketball first,
• 1:36:27
  and I've got some other stuff I want to chop up with you. That
• 1:36:29
  is, I don't want to call it a must win game on the road,
• 1:36:30
  but you referenced, I mean Auburn coming in you know Saturday will be
• 1:36:35
  just to meet an unbelievable atmosphere there at the Hump. I mean the game
• 1:36:39
  will be in play, but Auburn's gonna be favorite Ole miss and Oxford next
• 1:36:42
  week and then Alabama and Tuscalosa before grabbing Georgia and then at home in the
• 1:36:46
  Missouri. So you know that would go a long way. Uh this,
• 1:36:49
  you know in everything of stars, your goals of you know, staying in
• 1:36:53
  that inside that NCAA bubble, so to speak, to get that win tonight
• 1:36:57
  at Florida. Well, there's in good position right now. They could use
• 1:37:02
  another quad one win, which this would be everything from one to seventy five
• 1:37:06
  in the net if you went on the road, that's a quad one.
• 1:37:11
  So that'd be another one to pick up. State really could use some help
• 1:37:14
  from some of the pre SEC teams that they've beaten, but all of those
• 1:37:17
  dropped in their net this past week, which also contributed States slipped there.
• 1:37:21
  So they're solidly in the field right now, but the field ain't picked right
• 1:37:26
  now. He's still got two months essentially until all this is settled after the
• 1:37:30
  SEC tournament. And I think too that Jens, it's not just the fact
• 1:37:33
  they really need to get this road when he wants to see a few areas
• 1:37:38
  of improvement, like some free throw shooting from tot Smith wants to see better
• 1:37:43
  ball handling out front, Trey Ford working himself up to speed as an alternate
• 1:37:46
  to Hubbard coming off the bench, and really settling that guard rotation system down,
• 1:37:53
  and just play smarter, don't get in the early foul trouble like Kim
• 1:37:56
  Matthews has done of late. And like I said, play smart, play
• 1:38:00
  your game. Florida is a pretty good matchup all things considered, for a
• 1:38:05
  road game like that. So I think they've got a good chance tonight to
• 1:38:09
  come back with an even SEC record. David Murray on your Radio the Wednesday
• 1:38:14
  edition of the program. Make sure to find at genspage dot com, two
• 1:38:15
  four seven sports dot com, get the podcast, articles and more. Also
• 1:38:18
  on X as well, David, Believe it or not? And you know
• 1:38:21
  we wouldn't know it with the weather if you just walked outside, and last
• 1:38:24
  week it was freezing cold North Mississippi, Tennessee under ice and snow. But
• 1:38:28
  baseball will first pitch. We'll be here in a matter of weeks. Now.
• 1:38:31
  To say you know, pressure is on this this club and Lamonnas and
• 1:38:35
  the staff is probably an understatement. But you know, outside of the pressure,
• 1:38:40
  what are the expectations of this club this year? Well, the pressure
• 1:38:45
  is definitely there. And Chrysala Monas, if by the way, had his
• 1:38:47
  birthday this week, is well aware of it. He knows that. You
• 1:38:51
  know, you don't get a third chance in this situation after two bad seasons,
• 1:38:56
  even at national championship, starts aware thin if you really start in a
• 1:39:00
  continued down swing. I don't think they will this year. I think the
• 1:39:02
  Dogs going to bounce back. I don't know that they have a Friday pitcher
• 1:39:06
  per se. It's still maybe some committee work done in the first part of
• 1:39:11
  the season picking out who goes on Game one's who goes on game twos in
• 1:39:15
  that regard, but I think the pitching staff overall is in better shape.
• 1:39:20
  Only lost one player to Tommy john in preseason, which is a plague hitting
• 1:39:24
  college baseball everywhere, so state's hardly long that regard. I think the offense
• 1:39:29
  is gonna be much improved this year, and you know, you can go
• 1:39:30
  on Jeans Page and Mike Nemoth has done a great job this week of breaking
• 1:39:34
  down position by position defensively, all the outfield positions, infield catcher, what's
• 1:39:41
  going to happen there, and really dig into what the roster looks like right
• 1:39:45
  now going into it. And you talk about hard to believe. Well,
• 1:39:47
  I'm going to the basketball game this past weekend in on like twenty two degree
• 1:39:51
  temperatures, but I hear the clang of bats in the Paul Merrow Center and
• 1:39:55
  I'm thinking, yeah, it ain't that far away now. Is that is
• 1:39:59
  absolutely true? David? Why I got you a few minutes. I want
• 1:40:00
  to get your thoughts just because you've been around college sports for quite a while
• 1:40:04
  and you've seen a lot of stuff happening. You know, leaders in college
• 1:40:09
  sports will meet on Capitol Hill tomorrow with Charlie Baker to discuss this proposed let's
• 1:40:16
  see, how did Ross Dellinger. I'm trying to get the right verbiage on
• 1:40:20
  it, project d one this new proposed subcommittee or subdivision rather to try to
• 1:40:28
  make all this equal and fair. And I know the SEC and the Big
• 1:40:30
  Ten are pretty much like not we're not in on this and they're saying,
• 1:40:34
  Hey, this could be this could be it. We'll run out of time.
• 1:40:38
  There could be the split can happen. All of this could happen.
• 1:40:42
  I asked David Glenn the same thing out of the state of North Carolina in
• 1:40:44
  the last hour in ben portnoy a hour number one. What do you think
• 1:40:46
  will come of this? I mean, I don't think Washington, d C.
• 1:40:48
  Anybody in Congress or the Senate is going to do anything here. They
• 1:40:54
  don't need to. Yeah, yeah, they don't need to get involved in
• 1:40:57
  this, because show me much of anything Washington. It has made better in
• 1:41:00
  the last well century. I know that's a little oversweeping, but still,
• 1:41:08
  college athletics is such an unusual and odd thing, as James Mitchger once wrote
• 1:41:14
  that the aliens came down, looked at it and say, and all this
• 1:41:17
  is being done in the name of education. But that's what makes it such
• 1:41:20
  a weird animal in so many ways. I don't think there's any fix via
• 1:41:26
  the NBA. And that's not a knock on NTABA per se, because you've
• 1:41:29
  got to have some sort of superbody. And the instably, remember is not
• 1:41:32
  the office in Indianapolis, it's the hundreds of presidents. They're the ones who
• 1:41:38
  put all these laws into effect, are not. My thinking is, and
• 1:41:45
  I think the time it will happen we have been when some of these TV
• 1:41:47
  contracts run out. I think the SEC's runs through what twenty twenty nine or
• 1:41:51
  thirty? The Big Tens runs through twenty thirty one. I think by that
• 1:41:56
  point Disney and Fox will have a good idea of what the finances are,
• 1:42:00
  and there is a very good chance then that the breakaway takes place. I
• 1:42:05
  think how many it will be, I don't know. I'm pessimistic. I
• 1:42:09
  think it'll be the fewer teams instead of this sixty four or something. I
• 1:42:12
  believe it'll be closer to the thirties, simply because they'll say, why should
• 1:42:15
  we pay for any more than that to have the teams we want playing essentially
• 1:42:19
  NFL light on Fridays and Saturdays, so we can have pro Ball on Sundays
• 1:42:24
  and Mondays. But you really don't know. The finance have a lot to
• 1:42:29
  do with it. Instab A is going to move out it, And to
• 1:42:31
  be honest, Jake, I think a whole lot of instead of A presidents
• 1:42:35
  want to wash their hands of major college football. They don't really understand it.
• 1:42:41
  Unfortunately, it's not a case here in Mississippi. The chancellors and the
• 1:42:44
  presidents of state old miss Sota myths. They understand college football, they know
• 1:42:47
  what it matters. But there's a whole lot of places. What's the old
• 1:42:50
  joke? I mean, why does all many have the same voter as Alabama?
• 1:42:54
  A lot of that's true. So I think instabay is ready to get
• 1:42:58
  rid of it at the top level, and basically whoever doesn't go to the
• 1:43:01
  Super League goes to what now is the Football Championship. We'll have her own
• 1:43:04
  playoffs, but we won't have the huge TV money funding it and the other
• 1:43:10
  mandated fifteen sports that you have to have to play that level of football.
• 1:43:15
  Something everybody overlooks in the NIL and the transfer portal and all these debates is
• 1:43:20
  when that California court case gets settled and student athletes probably will be allowed to
• 1:43:26
  unionize and start claiming a share of their conference TV moneies. That means everybody
• 1:43:31
  gets the same. The volleyball spiker gets the same as as the college quarterback.
• 1:43:35
  And there's to be a lot of schools can't afford it. I know,
• 1:43:38
  I'm painting a doom and gloom, but I don't see any fixed for
• 1:43:42
  it, certainly not through Washington without a separation where they can make their own
• 1:43:46
  rules that are good for college football and the other sports go their own way.
• 1:43:51
  One hundred percent agree, and I think that's where we're headed. And
• 1:43:55
  we'll see what happens on these meetings tomorrow. You can find them at genspage
• 1:43:58
  dot com. Make sure to get David on X and of course grab the
• 1:44:00
  podcast and more. David, Always appreciate your time and look have a great
• 1:44:03
  rest of the week. We'll see what happens in basketball and talk soon well.
• 1:44:08
  And keep in mind too that the recruiting still goes on. State has
• 1:44:11
  not announced it in rollees, but it looks like about twenty eight guys.
• 1:44:14
  We'll be here for the spring semester at fifteen on transfers, handful of high
• 1:44:19
  school guys, and they get JUCO guys as well. That'll get going.
• 1:44:24
  We're talking to Jeff Levy at some point, probably on the February seventh signing
• 1:44:28
  day, but already looking forward to that and getting a spring idea of what
• 1:44:30
  the schedule is going to be, so you know, as much as we
• 1:44:32
  focus on basketball, right now baseball is about to start, but football is
• 1:44:36
  always right there ready to grab our attention. That's just what we do.
• 1:44:41
  That's it. It never ends. Of course, David will be visiting with
• 1:44:43
  you on that as well. Thanks so much, David. What's all to
• 1:44:45

  space ghost online forty seven Space Coast Welcome in. I thought it was forty
• 1:46:25
  eight. But anyway, No, the uh text I sent in You're gonna
• 1:46:30
  complain because it was an article a link to an article. There's no right.
• 1:46:33
  The reason I sent it was because there's not a link, and I'm
• 1:46:39
  not paying the subscription for the company that put the article out. But so
• 1:46:44
  you want to pay the subscription. No, y'all already have it. I'm
• 1:46:46
  sure I'm not gonna mention the name. But anyway, it was during the
• 1:46:51
  week. Yell were off during bowl week and there was talk of what they
• 1:46:56
  could do to fix the opting out of bowls, and it was like five
• 1:47:00
  things we can do, and Beaver said he would help me out and get
• 1:47:06
  hit the high points. Beaver take it away. You're an idiot. Thank
• 1:47:14
  you. You're you're going to expect us to sit here and read an article
• 1:47:19
  in the minute and a half since we talked to high point hit the high
• 1:47:23
  points. I didn't even had time to look at it. Okay, you
• 1:47:27
  just didn't lie to me. I'm not here to do your work for you.
• 1:47:30
  You do the work I'm trying, man, trying to give you material.
• 1:47:36
  Basically, it was that they would you could penalize a guy for opting
• 1:47:43
  out of a bowl by taking his part of the scholarships and make them pay
• 1:47:49
  the they opt out of a bowl. Just try to make it fair in
• 1:47:56
  that respect. But maybe one day you can look at the article. All
• 1:48:01
  right, we'll check it out. We'll see what we can find. A
• 1:48:03
  man, so yeah, now wait a minute, how did he sit there?
• 1:48:06
  He almost tried to explain to this to what was in the article.
• 1:48:10
  But he wants us to tell him what's in the article, and he's not
• 1:48:14
  paying for the article. College football bowls need help. Here are five ways
• 1:48:17
  to fix the postseason and prevent opt outs. Well, I'll tell you the
• 1:48:26
  best way, will I even reading the article? Do you have the article
• 1:48:28
  pulled up? Yeah? Is you put in your collectives your collective contracts that
• 1:48:33
  hey, look, if you're gonna get paid money to play at this university,
• 1:48:38
  you're gonna have to play through bowl season. MO. You can call
• 1:48:41
  a six or one eight nine, seven, one zero, five to nine.
• 1:48:44
  So what's what's the skinny? Can you hit the high points? Yeah?
• 1:48:47
  Nicole Auerbach, that's who wrote this, by the way back, she
• 1:48:51
  says number one, allow bowls to directly pay players. That's the dumbest thing
• 1:49:00
  I've heard. That's her top thought. So they get paid to play at
• 1:49:05
  the school. Now the bulls pay them to play. Some of these bulls
• 1:49:09
  don't even break even. She's an idiot. What else you say? Abandon
• 1:49:12
  conference affiliations so bulls can set up matchups that make the most sense. So
• 1:49:18
  if you're tied in with the SEC and the Birmingham Bowl, it would make
• 1:49:24
  sense if you're at that level to negotiate with the Independence Bowl, which is
• 1:49:29
  almost an equal type bowl. But that would entice the player to stay in
• 1:49:31
  play. Is that again from r Bach? Yep, yep. Idiot number
• 1:49:35
  two comment? What else you got? Get rid of the early signing period.
• 1:49:43
  I don't know how that's going to affect. I mean, because the
• 1:49:46
  early signing period is for high school guys in junior college guys. All right,
• 1:49:53
  what else she's over three. And then this is the last one.
• 1:49:58
  Reframe the way we we talk about college football and the way we celebrate the
• 1:50:04
  sport in the twelve team college football playoff era, what are reframed the way
• 1:50:11
  we talk about this? How's that going to keep them in the game.
• 1:50:17
  This needs to be This needs to be a collective effort, from pundits to
• 1:50:21
  fans, to coaches to administrators. We need to stop framing everything as national
• 1:50:28
  championship or bust. This is how you get Ohio State players opting out of
• 1:50:35
  the Rose Bowl or Florida State players skipping the Orange Bowl, all because they're
• 1:50:40
  not playing for a chance to win the national championship. So she's basically saying
• 1:50:45
  we could word salad them back into the ball game. Yeah, oh okay,
• 1:50:49
  let's see. We used to celebrate rebuilding teams, hitting benchmarks like ball
• 1:50:54
  eligibility or non blue blood reaching the ten win mark, So we're supposed to
• 1:51:01
  just uh what So okay, we used to celebrate benchmarks like bowl eligibility.
• 1:51:11
  So if we quote unquote celebrate, in her words, celebrate a team going
• 1:51:16
  six and six, well, what does that mean? Always pump? Are
• 1:51:20
  we supposed to fawn all over them and give them this undying credit that,
• 1:51:28
  oh, you went six and six and that'll boost their morale to want to
• 1:51:32
  stay in college. Yeah, that would probably in her in her thought process,
• 1:51:39
  that would have probably persuaded Jaden Daniels to play in the bowl game.
• 1:51:44
  Words slid them back in. Now, you said that was only four,
• 1:51:46
  but the article headlines says there's five. Yeah, I let's see. Yeah,
• 1:51:51
  I missed one. I'm sorry I did miss one. It says,
• 1:51:55
  oh, her number one. I started at number two because this was let's
• 1:52:00
  say number one. More silliness, what more silliness? Pop Tart Bowl.
• 1:52:11
  She just types a paragraph about how much she loved the pop Tart Bowl and
• 1:52:15
  the guy dressed in the pop Tart suit. So that too, is going
• 1:52:20
  to incentivize players to stay and play in bowls and make bowls, make bowl
• 1:52:28
  games matter more. Two things on this once she got paid to actually put
• 1:52:30
  that together. Two, I cannot believe we let space Ghost waste nine minutes
• 1:52:33
  of this show with that. And then his text from yesterday right at the
• 1:52:38
  end of the show, has mill Road transferred to a Jalen Milroe is not
• 1:52:41
  in the transfer portal. Face Ghost you're zero for two on these texts over
• 1:52:45
  the last twenty four hours. MO, where where's the number? I'll give
• 1:52:50
  you the solution. Oh, here is MO, speaking of MO. MO,
• 1:52:53
  welcome in. How are you? I'm fantastic, Thank you. I
• 1:52:58
  appreciate you taking my call. Yes, sir, is to let capitalism do
• 1:53:01
  its job. That's a solution. I'm being honest with you. We live
• 1:53:05
  in a capitalist society. I know I told you all this before, but
• 1:53:10
  at the end of the day, it is a demand market. Demand creates
• 1:53:15
  value. Value goes up and down like inflation. If I'm worth X to
• 1:53:20
  you pay me. If I'm not worth that, someone else would pay me.
• 1:53:25
  I don't need to worry about who's paying who how much. If I'm
• 1:53:30
  beautiful, I can be a model. If I'm beautiful in place volleyball,
• 1:53:33
  I can make money for you, my school, and myself. I can
• 1:53:38
  do that. So my question to you is, stop trying to regulate these
• 1:53:43
  wrong people. Eighteen years old, I can die for my country. People,
• 1:53:47
  stop trying to regulate it. We as a conservative from Mississippi, we
• 1:53:54
  don't believe in regulation. Everybody. I will pull myself up by my bootstraps.
• 1:53:59
  Well, let me make my money. Stop trying to regulate me.
• 1:54:01
  If you can't pay me, I'm gonna go somewhere else. If you don't
• 1:54:04
  have the deal I need, I'm going somewhere else. That's capitalism. That's
• 1:54:09
  what we believe in. That's American as American high is. So stop trying
• 1:54:14
  to regulate it. Let these folks make it as much money as they can.
• 1:54:17
  And if Alabama can only have a certain number of scholarships, they can
• 1:54:21
  have only a certain number of players on the team. But if they willing
• 1:54:25
  to pay another twenty players that don't make the team, take the amount of
• 1:54:29
  dollars that's on them. It's capitalism. So stop trying to regulate it.
• 1:54:33
  Just let us be capitalist. That's what we the society we live in.
• 1:54:36
  Let's do it, and then I guarantee all these other issues. If you're
• 1:54:41
  trying to control these individuals that you think can't maintain their money, they'll figure
• 1:54:45
  it out. They'll hire lower. They're high CPA, they're high financial managers.
• 1:54:48
  But let them be capitalists and stop trying to control. No one tries
• 1:54:54
  to control you on your show when you try to make your money. You
• 1:54:57
  got a contract with ESPN, a contract with one o five point nine and
• 1:55:01
  you make the most money you can make it. You do job the best
• 1:55:04
  you can do. That's all I'm asking for these student athletes. So let
• 1:55:08
  them do it. Stop trying to control them, and it will solve all
• 1:55:11
  these issues. Either you got the check account, you got the bank account.
• 1:55:15
  And I believe Maroon, I need my my farmers and engineers to start
• 1:55:19
  paying these cats just like old miss paying them and you see the results.
• 1:55:25
  Mo fantastic comments. Hey, I appreciate you, brother. It'll be a
• 1:55:28
  stranger great call by mode. You can just call six or one eight nine
• 1:55:30
  seven one zero five nine and look to most credit. That's why the SEC
• 1:55:33
  and the Big ten are going to get the Capitol Hill tomorrow and they're gonna
• 1:55:38
  raise two middle fingers to Charlie Baker and they could be out. We got
• 1:55:45
  that and a whole lot more around here is the Afternoon Drive. That's just
• 1:55:49
  you got that along with the hottest sports stories of the day on ESPN one

• 1:56:50
  Louvier halftime show The Who. It was awesome and it was right before the
• 1:56:58
  successful on side Kick Ghost Saints. What do you think, Beav about that
• 1:57:00
  one? The Who? Not a fan Brando. Beav's idea of a good
• 1:57:05
  halftime show would be Hansen and Usher will be awful. Do you have anything
• 1:57:10
  for Brando on that you're not even going to respond to him. Let's see
• 1:57:15
  here, Saint Louis Vick. I don't know bev Usher will bring out Little
• 1:57:21
  John and if you are the artists that he sang with, blow the thing
• 1:57:24
  out. His shows are geared towards women. Anyway, Prince performing in the
• 1:57:30
  rain was iconic. I love hip hop, so Dre Snoop and all the
• 1:57:33
  West Coast stuff was cool with me. Here comes space Ghosts again. That
• 1:57:41
  was not the article I was talking about. I'll have to find it and
• 1:57:44
  hit the high points tomorrow. If you'll let me look, we'll let you
• 1:57:47
  hit the high points. But space ghast. The article Beaver read through,
• 1:57:53
  that awful trash article from the cole our back is the same article you sent
• 1:57:59
  the snapshot of photo, same headline, same everything. Yeah, you know,
• 1:58:04
  I speaking of Space Coast though. I want to go back to when
• 1:58:06
  he was on I called him an idiot. Now I need to apologize because
• 1:58:12
  idiot's too far. He's a dummy. Okay, dummy just sounds it sounds
• 1:58:16
  better. Idiot sounds too harsh. But how are you gonna send me a
• 1:58:20
  screenshot of the title of that article? The pop tarts Man on Top of
• 1:58:29
  a big truck, dated December thirty first, written by Nicole Auerbach. And
• 1:58:33
  then I read you the article that is the headline that you sent the pop
• 1:58:40
  tarts man on the top of the truck dated December thirty first, written by
• 1:58:43
  Nicole Auerbach. Everything about it, it is the article. But then say,
• 1:58:46
  that's not what I'm talking about. Not not idiot, but dummy.
• 1:58:54
  Let's see the real un named texter sends a snapshot brock Purty two years.
• 1:59:00
  It's got Brock party in Dak Prescott. Brock pretty two years, three playoff
• 1:59:02
  wins, two NFC Championship game appearances, Dak Prescott plus Tony Romo combined twenty
• 1:59:11
  two years, four playoff wins in zero NFC Championship games. Oh man,
• 1:59:15
  all of these comparisons to Tony Romo. Let's see here, Moe, be
• 1:59:23
  creative partner with the athletes, increase their value, have a marketing plan supplying
• 1:59:27
  demand. Most continue to talk. Possumic Joe was not a fan of most.
• 1:59:30
  Call. He said, as long as these kids walk on taxpayer funded
• 1:59:35
  campuses and buildings, they should be regulated in some kind of way. Well,
• 1:59:39
  look, you can. You can have the best of both worlds.
• 1:59:43
  Really you can in this believe it or not. And it's not true capitalism
• 1:59:46
  as Mo was talking about. It's somewhat as believe or not, DJ says,
• 1:59:49
  somewhat a little bit of a socialist deal. But you have regulation,
• 1:59:54
  right, but you do make your money. If you're good enough, you
• 1:59:56
  go make your money. And it's the NFL model. You got to have
• 2:00:00
  salary cap So there's the regulation Joe talks about. But then there's the money
• 2:00:03
  Moe talks about right now. It's the wild wide West. And what the
• 2:00:09
  problem with what's going on on Capitol Hill tomorrow is Charlie Baker is wanting to
• 2:00:13
  put everybody in the same box and say the volleyball player and the tennis player
• 2:00:19
  get the same as the quarterback on the football team. Everybody wins. It's
• 2:00:24
  not the way it works. It's not the way it works. It's back
• 2:00:27
  to Moe's point, it's not the way it works. Yes, what Joe
• 2:00:30
  said, most guys and girls are walking around on great campuses that are taxpayer
• 2:00:34
  funded, all kinds of good stuff going on there. You got to have
• 2:00:39
  this is and this is where the SEC and the Big ten are going to
• 2:00:41
  look at it and go, We're not doing this. Why would we do
• 2:00:44
  this. This would be dumb for us to do this. Our product in
• 2:00:46
  the SEC and our product in the Big ten, and you could even say,
• 2:00:51
  hey, look the ACC and the Big twelve is a better product than
• 2:00:57
  anybody else. Because there are haves and there are have nots. There is
• 2:01:02
  a portion of the population that has been led to believe that there's no longer
• 2:01:06
  everybody's no. There are haves and have notts. Georgia football is different than
• 2:01:14
  Toledo. It makes more money, it has a better product, the players
• 2:01:18
  are better, the coaches are bet It's just the way it is. It's
• 2:01:23
  just it's Space Coast trying to hijack the show. Harball to to La Chargers.
• 2:01:27
  Did that happen? It did really well? Almost stop right there on
• 2:01:30
  that. So he is officially the head football coach. Thank you, Space
• 2:01:34
  Ghost of the Chargers. So we'll see what happens with Michigan. Are you
• 2:01:40
  shocked? No, not at all. Yeah, Harball was done win or
• 2:01:46
  not. I think that game excuse me, against either Alabama, if they'd
• 2:01:50
  have lost that game or if they'd have lost to Washington, that was going
• 2:01:54
  to be it. So Harball officially to the Chargers. Michigan comes open.
• 2:01:59
  I think it'll close pretty quickly. I think they'll hire the offensive coordinator from
• 2:02:01
  in house. Here. Oh, here's a fun, fun little side note.
• 2:02:05
  By the way, the Chargers are scheduled to play the Ravens next season.
• 2:02:12
  So harball versus harrball. Have we already come out with the teams for
• 2:02:16
  the schedules next year? Has that already happened? Well, we know who's
• 2:02:19
  gonna play each other, we just don't know what dates. I got you.
• 2:02:29
  I haven't even seen that. I'm so so bogged down with all the
• 2:02:31
  other stuff. I'm too inundated with Taylor swipped him my face. Taylor swipped
• 2:02:36
  him my face, and bo, I'm on your side, by the way
• 2:02:40
  on a lot of this, trust me. That's why again you're gonna see
• 2:02:45
  a lot of kickback. Actually, you're gonna probably see a lot of SEC
• 2:02:48
  and Big ten administrators likely to walk out of that thing tomorrow after a while,
• 2:02:51
  like there's no need to talk about this, We're not doing this.
• 2:02:56
  But Charlie Baker is kind of got everybody else by the big toe in the
• 2:03:00
  NC double A. So what do you think is gonna happen. Is this
• 2:03:04
  going to be the beginning of the end tomorrow? I don't know. You've
• 2:03:09
  been talking about the beginning of the end for about five years now. I
• 2:03:16
  don't know. The n C double A. They'll they'll find some way to
• 2:03:20
  keep there. Tea keep their grips on this, They'll keep their grip on
• 2:03:26
  a lot of it. But I don't know how you grip the two biggest
• 2:03:31
  conferences in all of sports. But I don't know that your grip is big
• 2:03:35
  enough to hold the SEC in the Big ten. I just don't think it's
• 2:03:40
  gonna happen. We'll see, It'll be interesting see how big of an idiot
• 2:03:44
  Charlie Baker looks tomorrow. Thanks to Ben Portnoy, David Glenn, and David
• 2:03:48
  Murray, remember catch up as King Bacon's a delicacy. Aloha means goodbye,
• 2:03:55
  Space goes go find the right article. Good night,
