• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on the zone. Scott clendenon
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that's here. What kind of game are you expecting on
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: on Saturday morning?
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: UH? I expect. I expect Miami the way they've been
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: playing at the end of the season when their playoffs
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: basically started after their second loss to UH to come
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: in and play a inspired first half. I think that
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: you know their ability to get after the quarterback matched
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: up against the A and M offensive line will tell
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: the tale. I think that you know the it. You've
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: got to look at what the strength of A and
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: M is in the offensive line and Bolton board notwithstanding,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: I think that what A and M does in slowing
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: down that defensive front is going to have Marcel Reid
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: in a position where he'll be able to deliver the
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: ball with the running backs, whoever of the five of
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: them are. That's That's what I'm gonna look at to
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: start with. And then does the coach of Miami turned
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: back into the coach of Miami at some point in
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: time during the ballgame, Well.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: That's what you're hoping. You're hoping that that game comes
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: down to a coaching decision because he hasn't been very
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: good at that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, I think there's going to be offense. I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: both these teams scoring. What's the over under?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Let me see here, I haven't seen the over under Miami.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Let's see here. What the over under is? Uh, forty
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: nine and a half to fifty one and a half.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: It's kind of low. Twenty eight to twenty three, twenty eight,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: twenty four covers that I think that's a little low.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I had twenty four to twenty.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, well.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'd bet the under.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I'd go the over, okay at forty nine and a half. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: fifty one and a half, you know, Okay, But I
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: just I think that A and M has an advantage
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: coaching wise.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt that A and M
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: has an advantage coaching wise.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think I think the biggest advantage they have is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in the stands. You know, that's a you can't you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the writers have been talking for about ten years is like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: until you take back cal Field, you're not going to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: win anything, right. They've lost way too many games at
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: cal Field, and they didn't do that this year, right, Right,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they didn't do it. They did what they were supposed
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to do. They defended cal Field.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You can talk about, you know, the caliber competition or
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to talk about, but you could have
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: been talking about that the last ten years as well
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in games that they've lost in cal Field. So you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: got to defend the home home field. The home field
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: has been great this year, and I think it'll be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a big difference on on Saturday, I do, and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be close. You don't want to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: coming down to a forty something yard field goal at
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the end of the game. But I think I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a close game because I just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think these two teams are just on paper, again,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: on paper, they are so evenly matched. Right, Yes, just.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Did you did you matched? Did you did? A and
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: m get the benefit of playing in the SEC against
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: all those talented.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the caliber of teams that that that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Miami played, I'm not sure aside from Notre Dame when
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that was the first game, right, Uh, they haven't seen
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: any any team that that is that talented.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Right, That's what I'm saying. So when you go up
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: against this Miami team that has NFL guys at these positions,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: are you like, Okay, well we haven't We've seen NFL
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: guys all the time.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that. And the other thing
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know is either is how do both of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: these teams react. That's why I think the home is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so important for it because they haven't been here. Both
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: these teams are in chartered uncharted territory, right, I mean,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this is this is different. Okay, this isn't the Reliacaless Bowl.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: This is different okay, And how are both of these
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: teams going to react to that?
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a big deal.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna have Hunter Goodwin on pregame show on
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Saturday because he played in playoffs every year who was
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: in the NFL, And that's what this is. Yeah, Okay,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: when you're sixteen and you're in a high school playoffs,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: you just had to pick some playoff games, you're at
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: state and all that kind of stuff. You're not thinking
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: about this being the end of anything. Even when you're
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: in a you lose in the second round, you weren't thinking.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: You know, it's not the same. It's not the same
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: of being in the NFL playoffs where you know it's winning. Go,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: you're done. Okay. Even if you've been in a in
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a you know, in a conference championship game, all right,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: you know you're playing after that. This is the tournament.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: You've not played in the tournament. How do you get
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: focused in on this is now? Everything has to be now.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: We don't get tomorrow y.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It's different. It's different, you know, I think the pressure
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is different, right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: And you know, there's that's something that I want to
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: talk with Hunter about because you know, when you play.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: That's what the NFL playoffs is. You get a bunch
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: of evenly matched teams. Okay, and how do you play
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: your best football that day, that three and a half hours?
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: How do you play your best football? And you're right,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Georgia has an advantage at that Ohio State has an advantage,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: no question.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, Indiana does not, although although they played a huge game,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: right that that game may may may may or may
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: not have have prepared them. But but that was a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: huge game, right, And right, Texas has none of that experience.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Oregon does, right, Alabama Alabama obviously does, Oklahoma does not.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Right, So you've got half the field that doesn't and
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: half the field that does. And how do you convey that?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: And look which coaches have done this before? Yes, Okay,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: they've got the experience.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Of doing that, there's no doubt.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So I mean that you know that is gonna that
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: is gonna be a big deal. I think it is
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: on how you play a playoff game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, because we see in the crucible of pressure in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the regular season and we've just talked about the Miami
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: coach coaches who make really stupid decisions at that time, right,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they're not terrible coaches, but they just they're under pressure
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and they make a bad choice, right, and.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Do it over and over again.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Well you lose, you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Get there, and and I and I think.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And you and you and you get the reputation, yes, right,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and Crystal Ball is gonna have to do something special
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to undo that reputation right now. Right, he's have to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: win some games, right, yes, uh, and and not do
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: stupid things. But can he do that? I don't know, right,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: And and another thing that that I've seen some people
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: pick this game as well, Miami's not losing any coaches,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: and a M's got these coaches that are.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Going off to other places.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Again, I don't know how that's going to affect everybody.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, there's you have to ask
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the question. But as as Elko has said, look, I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: trust these guys character, right, that they're all in and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I believe that, right. I believe that he's defense. Yes,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and and and there's so there's no real there there's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: no change Saturday, no for what this team has done
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all year long. Right, there's there's no change.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: I think that's an easy out for some people to say, Well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: all of these teams that are will know if you
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: have coaches that have left and not going to be there.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: We're not talking about old miss Their play caller is gone.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: No, he's back.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: He was not calling the playoff, I know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But the systems system is there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, they got the coaches back that they can run
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: some of the system, but the play caller is not there. Yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: that's an interesting game to be and it's going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: have their play caller. Yes, No, it is an interesting game.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: They It might it might have suited Mississippi well that
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Kiffin left. If Tulane shows up and plays a lot
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: better than they did, they.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Just don't have it. They just don't have the athletes.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I don't mean they can't win right right, But I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: don't like the rematches. I never like rematches. That's why
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Alabama intrigues me. You know, as as a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: rematch game, and you know, I think that one is
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is going to be close to I really that one's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: going to be close.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think that I just I think that
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: it that you had if Mississippi wasn't as motivated as
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: they are after being hurt the way they did with
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: their coach leading. I think that lead that would have
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: helped to Lane. I don't. I think this is back
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: to ground zero because now Ole Miss isn't walking around
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: the whole week talking about who we're playing in week two.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: That was what Ole Miss was going to do before this. Yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: and they would not have been focused on it. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: think they're going to be focused on it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it'll be It'll be interesting to see.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I think I think they have so much more talent, yes,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, than than to Lane does. Now the following week,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's a whole another issue, right if they get it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If Ole Miss wins and has to play Georgia in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl, that's a whole other deal, right, I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: mean it's all over.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: I think all the Georgia coaches will be there.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they will too, And I think they'll
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: show up in an ugly mood.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, But okay, we've been here, We've been in a
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: very similar situationship, all right, Aggie basketball had an opportunity
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: to win and go play in San Antonio, yes four, Yes,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: opportunity to win and go play in Houston in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: final four yep, and it didn't happen.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Okay, what were we what it was like? Well, what
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: would happen if you had this situation? Go, well, you're
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: starting at home and you get to go to Dallas. Okay,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I would much rather play Ohio State in Dallas, no
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: doubt than whomever in Miami's nobody there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, yes, Second of all, well, I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I'm a wait on Oahio State till next week. We'll
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: see if what I have it next week. Oh that's right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we don't, so we have to talk about it now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: talk about it now? Yeah, right, we do. So here's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: my thing on Ohio State. I think this is the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: third year in the road. They'll be playing in the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl, right, it's their home away from home. I've
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: said this before, I'll say it again. I know Aggie fans,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and they will they will have an advantage from the crowd, yes,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but they're not going to have the kind of advantage
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: some people think they're going to have from the crowd.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to ask you, so you're thinking that
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Ohio State is going to have that they're not waiting
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: for the similar No, I don't think they are. Okay,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: even though they are, I don't.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Think you can take that way, and I don't think
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they are. I think that crowd is traveling with even
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: though you'd say what you want.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I thought until a week ago they were
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: going the Rose Bowl. I think it's a little bit
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: different this year because they were never going to the
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Rose Bowl last season.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, there may be some complacency. I wouldn't argue
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that right from the fan base. Yes, I wouldn't argue
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that I'd rather play them. I would rather play I'm
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: not disagreeing with you. Absolutely you want to play in Dallas, right, Yes,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: if you have to play, you.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Don't want to play that an empty stadium in Miami
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: or neither team would have had no it sold out
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: the game in Miami.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. But but if you have
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to play ah of State, absolutely you want to play
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in the Cotton Bowl, right, I mean no, no, no
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: doubt about that. Yes, So, I mean yeah, so it's.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: There, it's there, set up, and and if you advance on,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: you're gonna play teams and maybe you're already playing a
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: team that can go win a national championship in Miami.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I don't think that's the case. But after this, every
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: team you would play would be fifty to fifty on
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: winning a national championship, every team the rest of the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: way out. This is not This is not last year's
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: bracket with the with the with the champions in the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: wrong spot automatically.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: No, this is not. No.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, and okay, when the Houston Astros beat Boston, New
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: York and LA to win World champions were in trash cans,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: they sure were. No one had ever done that because
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the format wasn't that way. Okay, no one has done
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: it since then, to beat those traditional things, to go
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: through the best teams there. If you do that, you've
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: earned it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who whoever wins is gonna earn it. I mean
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: when you look not only that, you just you just
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: look at how close all year long the games have
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: been right in every league and every it doesn't matter,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the games have been close. They've been competitive. Right now.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: We had blowouts last year, and as you mentioned, some
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of it had to do a seeding. There may be
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: some blowouts this year because you don't know what games
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: like this, right, You just you don't know how these
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: games are gonna go.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: You don't know how the long the break is going
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: to affect those other teams which last year it claimed them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: But last year you said, well, because you weren't good
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: enough anyway, you shouldn't have been there. Yeah, but there
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: was some there was some ross to be shaken off.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was because the top four are having
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a long layoff, right, they're having a lengthy layoff, because.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: You and I have seen the better team not handle
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: a layoff for.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you see it in professional football right
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: all the time with that two week super Bowl thing, right, Yes,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and they've talked about that forever, which is weird. But
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: athletes they're on a clock, right, they are on a clock.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I was interested in listening to Krystobal did they talk
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: about that going, Look, we've had two game weeks. In
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: other words, that's how we practiced. We came out and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: practiced that first Saturday, right, and we have we have
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: been intentional about that. Every coach is going to go
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: about it differently, right, and some of them will be
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: right on how they go about it, some of them
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: will be and how they go about it. And we've
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: already talked about experience. You know, I think that you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Georgia o'house state Oregon, Alabama, I think that's huge, right,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: because those guys have been through all of that, right
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they they've been through.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: Oregon hasn't won.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: No, I know that. But they've been there, yes, right,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but they haven't won.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: But does the Oregon coaches he's still tinkering. This is
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: not work the times I've done it. Do I have
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: to do something different?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Have I the other end of the spectrum? Right?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, that is the other end of the spectrum debor
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: you know, Okay, hey it worked and then but I
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: still didn't win the whole thing? How do I have
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: to adjust out of this? It's you know, if you're
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: not Kirby and you're not Ryan Day, you're looking at
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: what have I done? How do I make it work?
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: You got two guys that have that have made the
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: run to win the title, and but then you have
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: various levels of experience after that. And I just think
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: that's going to be really, really interesting and for me
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to watch that part of the.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Game, no doubt, it's interesting for me to to to
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: watch Indiana. Right, they're in way uncharted territory. Despite all
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the games they've won, they're in uncharted territory.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Now they are hunted.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're the hunted, right, yes, and and uh
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: they have the Heisman quarterback. They're they're really really good. Uh,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: they're going to be in the Rose Bowl. That's going
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to be an overwhelming deal, right, first time thing, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: They Wait, they haven't been in the Rose Bowl in
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: my lifetime.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: No, No, I'm just saying for them. No, they're going
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to be in the Rose Bowl.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying chip, they haven't been in the Rose
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Bowl in my life.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's true, right, Yeah, I was born.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Four months after the last time they played it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Uh for Alabama, they were there a year ago right
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: now they lost, but or two years ago, whatever it was,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But that fits Alabama. Yeah, but they were there. But
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, if it's Alabama, right, Uh, if it's Alabama.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: And Alabama has to be much better than they have been.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt about that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know why. I don't know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I have flipped a coin on you.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Know why Alabama is a playoff team.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's a whole nother story speaking of.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Okay, lots of talk. Okay, all right, okay, well, hey
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: we're the ACC and going forward, we have to use
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: the College Football Playoff rankings to determine who our champion is. Okay,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: if you're in the ACC and the college football playoff
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: rankings three years ago took Florida State out of the rankings,
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: took them out of the of the playoffs. Why do
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: you look at that and say, all right, so now
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna determ let these guys and determine who our
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: best teams are.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: In our league.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: The SEC doesn't like. The coaches in the SEC don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: like how they're ranking the teams. Do you think the
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: SEC wants somebody outside to determine You want somebody from
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: the Big ten and the Pac two to determine what
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the rankings are the s for the tournament, I mean
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: for the for the conference championship game. I mean that
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I just don't know where that's going. If if you're
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: going to have an outside body till Duke, Hey, sorry,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: you're not good enough. We're gonna put Miami up. All right, Well,
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: why didn't he have Miami up favorite? Well we thought
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: they weren't as good as BYU and Notre Dame until
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: this week. I mean, there's a that's when when that
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: is the tournament?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: There's not there's not a perfect system for sure. No,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know that any of the conferences. Like I said,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: how do you trust?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: How does the Big Twelve trust the conference committee? Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: you moved b YU, who's only lost two twice to
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: our best team? Yeah, how do how do we look
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: at it? I mean because they were there was a
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: possibility that Texas Tech wasn't going to be in the
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: in the Big Twelve championship game Averrizona Arizona stated one,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: it could have ended up that Arizona State and b
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: why you were in there? Well, how do they rank
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Texas Tech, who wouldn't have lost, but wouldn't have been
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: in there? How did these leagues trust this committee to
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, Now, not only are you ranking
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: the top the teams. From the end of it, you're
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: gonna tell us what teams need to play in the
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: in our conference championship games. Anyway, there's a lot of
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: stuff that's about there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff that but I don't see it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I don't see it get it better anytime soon. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think the chaos is going to continue in all forms.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: And I've and I've fixed it. I say it every year,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: tell us who the top six are tell us who
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: seven through fourteen are, and you don't have to worry
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: about all this garbage. People are still going to tune
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: in if you're if you have to have a TV show.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're gonna have to have a TV show. They're
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: not contract, they're not undoing it. No, they're still going
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to start in November and ranked teams.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Right, and you would still get the same eyeball if
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: you told me who the top six teams were and
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: who the next state were, Okay, and who and if
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: it's at the bottom, if you're if you're team fifteen
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: and sixteen and they didn't say your name, well we
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: better start playing better football if we want to move
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: into the top fourteen.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Right, So, but what are their criteria for moving into
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the top five. I'm just that's the problem.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: That's why I don't think SEC coaches want to hear
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: this group. After telling the SEC all year strength, the
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: record is going to be a number one.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They just screwed that deal totally up. Yes, and they've
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: lost all credibility with that and now and now the coaches,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: which I don't blame him. I saw Sark again today,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: you know, saying I don't want to play these games.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I don't blame them, Yes, why would you play it? Right? Yes,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, go play a directional school. Beat the hell
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: out of them, right, don't get a loss on your
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: on your on your resime. I mean, there's just no
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: reason unless they're going to say, which they did last
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: year going into this year, as you mentioned, they told us, oh,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: straight the schedule, that's a schedule, straight the record, that's important,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and then they just threw them out. Yes, they totally
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: threw them out. And so why why would you why
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: is seven? Yeah exactly, I mean why is sn Okay, Well,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I want to what do you got? What do you got?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I've got the ending of the show. No, I've got
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: the ending of my time. I have something I want
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: to say. Okay, go ahead, Okay, you remember when everybody
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: was tanking for Tua. Remember when when everybody's tanking for
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Tuas T shirts and all that stuff like that, and
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: you know he's lost his job, right, yes, okay, So
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: if you've gone from tanking for TUA to quitting for Quinn,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: have you gotten any better? Do you think I can
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: sell quitting for Quinn T shirts?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: What's quitting for Quinn?
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Quinn yours is now No, I knew, Yeah, because they
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: want to quit and and and get a higher draft.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Oh is that what it is?
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, I don't think they put him in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: just to lose that. I mean they put him in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: because Tua has been horrible.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Oh he's terrible.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: He's I mean, I don't play attention.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Apparently ad midgood right, Yeah? What if Quinn wins the game?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Will he be benched? Are you saying if he wins,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he'll be benched? Yeah, we don't want to wait the coach.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: They fired their coach all those years ago and got
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: NFL got sued. I mean the Dolphins got sued because
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: he said the president of the GM told me to
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: lose games.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So anybody, uh, just a couple of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: quick basketball notes. Yes, tonight Vanderbilt at Memphis. You get
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a chance to watch. If you haven't watched Vanderbilt, see
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: if are they a top legitimate, you know, fifteen team.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Most of the people who follow basketball say they are.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I've watched him a little bit, not a lot, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: then that's that's the only decent game honestly coming up?
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: You have.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen Georgia play. I was listening to Jimmy
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Dike's last night. But Jimmy Dikes thinks every SEC team
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: is going to win the national championship.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Say that about the No, he didn't. I got to
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: put him on the list, now, yeah, you.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Got to put him on your list. And and the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the Aggies at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon against East Tech.

  Speaker 5: I think it's free.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: They haven't said that. I haven't got anything on that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Hang on, if they want people to know it's free,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: they better tell me that it's free, because I haven't
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: heard that.
