- 0:42Speaker 1: in here, we'll toss them back in. But we're gonna
- 0:44Speaker 1: dive into a few major topics like the LSU game.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We're gonna dive into that and our thoughts to initially
- 0:52Speaker 1: start there. Then we're gonna talk about the latest. We
- 0:55Speaker 1: had a de commitment and we just had somebody at
- 0:57Speaker 1: the portal. But don't worry, that's not the only ones.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And well I'll explain what that means in a moment.
- 1:05Speaker 1: So sit back, relax, grab your favorite beverage, and join
- 1:08Speaker 1: your boys. Coop, happy son, die you doing? My guy?
- 1:13Speaker 2: You know that's some good time hunting this weekend. And uh,
- 1:19Speaker 2: you know he got a little six point nothing too
- 1:22Speaker 2: too massive. He was the biggest one when we dropped
- 1:24Speaker 2: him off with the processor. But you know, in the
- 1:28Speaker 2: in the hopefully I don't out myself here in the
- 1:30Speaker 2: infamous words of Kendrick lamar B, don't kill my vibe.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I just listen, man, it's we made it through this.
- 1:40Speaker 2: We made it through this whole season, and you know
- 1:43Speaker 2: now we're going to see there's going to be some
- 1:45Speaker 2: ups and some downs. This staff has shown that they're
- 1:49Speaker 2: good at keeping people kind of locked in for the
- 1:52Speaker 2: majority of the situations. And so yeah, you know, Jay
- 1:57Speaker 2: got a lot of thoughts about the game, got a
- 1:59Speaker 2: lot of thought about the next nine months before we
- 2:01Speaker 2: kick off again. And so I'm glad to be here
- 2:05Speaker 2: on a nice Sunday evening, exactly.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Man, I am pretty excited. This is gonna be a
- 2:15Speaker 1: fun show. Thank y'all for pulling up. What's good everybody
- 2:18Speaker 1: in the chat. We appreciate y'all joining us here today.
- 2:24Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. I'm telling y'all as we speak,
- 2:29Speaker 1: y'all saw we had a d commitment. We had somebody
- 2:31Speaker 1: enter the portal. If that's the case, you know what
- 2:34Speaker 1: that tells me, Coop. They're having meetings exit meetings. Right now,
- 2:38Speaker 1: they've flown back, they've gotten things settled, they're beginning of
- 2:41Speaker 1: the exit meetings for the season, and with the portal
- 2:44Speaker 1: about to open up this week, you're gonna see a
- 2:47Speaker 1: lot of people jumping in there. So we'll talk about
- 2:49Speaker 1: that in just a second, but real quick, I wanna
- 2:53Speaker 1: explain to open us up what I meant when I
- 2:57Speaker 1: said it's gonna be a bloodbath. If you didn't check
- 2:59Speaker 1: out my video earlier this week, I explained in detailing
- 3:02Speaker 1: the video brace Yourself, every team in college football, especially
- 3:06Speaker 1: at the P four P five level, will have to
- 3:09Speaker 1: cut their rosters down to one hundred and five players.
- 3:12Speaker 1: The SEC is instituted where they're only allowing eighty five
- 3:16Speaker 1: scholarship players with the one hundred and five roster. Big
- 3:20Speaker 1: ten hasn't really said much on that, but I'm assuming
- 3:22Speaker 1: they're gonna follow suit same thing with the other conferences.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Once the ruling comes down in March, the twenty six
- 3:29Speaker 1: rosters will consist of scholarship players up to either one
- 3:32Speaker 1: hundred and five or one hundred and twenty. We're waiting
- 3:35Speaker 1: to see what that final number is gonna be, but
- 3:38Speaker 1: to let you know, as of right now. Every schools
- 3:40Speaker 1: about to start carving back. They ain't got a choice.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You gotta hit that number. So you're gonna see classes
- 3:47Speaker 1: get smaller. You're gonna start seeing rosters the players hit
- 3:52Speaker 1: the portal because you ain't got you ain't gotta get
- 3:54Speaker 1: your people. You gotta cut folks. And so parody's about
- 3:57Speaker 1: to hit for one season in college football. After that,
- 4:01Speaker 1: when those roster numbers go back up, oh, you're gonna
- 4:03Speaker 1: see people throwing it out there and the revenue share start.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You're gonna see dudes coming boomeranging right back. So there's
- 4:09Speaker 1: probably a good chance a lot of these coaches are
- 4:10Speaker 1: probably telling these kids, hey, it's great that you are,
- 4:17Speaker 1: that you've been here and we want to keep you.
- 4:19Speaker 1: We've got to cut our roster down next season, we'll
- 4:24Speaker 1: look for you again, So break yourself on that. But
- 4:26Speaker 1: Cooplet's talk about the game. Yeah, man, that was a
- 4:35Speaker 1: decent start. And then LSU did exactly what Alabama refused
- 4:39Speaker 1: to do. They just loaded the box. They told the quarterback,
- 4:43Speaker 1: beat me with your arm, start with offense. We're going
- 4:46Speaker 1: to defense. Because probably not gonna be able to talk
- 4:48Speaker 1: that much long about this because the news is gonna
- 4:50Speaker 1: start flying, and as the news start flying, I expect
- 4:54Speaker 1: for us to expec expect us to go through a
- 5:02Speaker 1: lot of this stuff. My goodness, this is a guy
- 5:04Speaker 1: that just flipped from Florida to Texas and just flipped
- 5:07Speaker 1: back from Texas to Florida. What is going on here?
- 5:12Speaker 1: It's bananas. But anyway, Coop talk about it that Oh man,
- 5:14Speaker 1: ha ha, we just played right in LSU's hands. Man,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I'm so glad season's over. Let's put it that way.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, uh, you know, when you take away this stuff.
- 5:33Speaker 2: With Alabama, I just had the had the feeling. I
- 5:37Speaker 2: had the feeling, Jay that I was going to depend
- 5:42Speaker 2: on the the the average or the mean of the
- 5:45Speaker 2: entire season, and the Alabama game was not was not
- 5:52Speaker 2: you know, congruent with the rest of the season. And
- 5:55Speaker 2: so I told my father in law right before we started,
- 5:58Speaker 2: I was like, I don't expect us to win this
- 5:59Speaker 2: game at all. And he was like, I thought you were,
- 6:02Speaker 2: you know, but after that Labama and I said, yeah,
- 6:05Speaker 2: well yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. And
- 6:09Speaker 2: the reason why is I think that this was the
- 6:15Speaker 2: first team that actually just was like, you know, hell
- 6:18Speaker 2: with it. Let's uh, let's not let's not you know,
- 6:22Speaker 2: let's not play scared. Let's just go deep. And the
- 6:25Speaker 2: receivers were able to make plays, and that just kept
- 6:29Speaker 2: us in a in a bad spot. And you know,
- 6:32Speaker 2: when the defense knows that the offense is not going
- 6:36Speaker 2: to be there that night, you know, it's hard to press.
- 6:38Speaker 2: It's hard to press for twelve games. It's it's it's
- 6:42Speaker 2: hard to keep on going. It's hard to lay your
- 6:44Speaker 2: body out and fight through some of the stuff that
- 6:46Speaker 2: they were doing. But I mean they were going.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Side to side to side to side to side to
- 6:50Speaker 3: side to side, deep, and that's that's just what they
- 6:54Speaker 3: they decided, that's the plan that they were going to do.
- 6:57Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It's just like you said, I'm glad, glad this is
- 7:03Speaker 2: the season is is wrapping up because I don't know
- 7:08Speaker 2: if we'll see another season like this ever again, where
- 7:11Speaker 2: you have so many people out, you know, with the injuries.
- 7:16Speaker 2: You know, you you you toss in the quarterbacks in
- 7:20Speaker 2: ability to play within the game and do what he
- 7:25Speaker 2: needs to do. And then on top of that, you know,
- 7:27Speaker 2: the injuries it's just in the offensive line, and it's
- 7:30Speaker 2: just there's so much.
- 7:31Speaker 3: So this is good.
- 7:33Speaker 2: This team's gonna look very, very very different come August
- 7:36Speaker 2: next year. It's gonna look very different on offense.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Yeah it is. It's gonna be a lot of changes
- 7:43Speaker 1: on that. And this is funny. Ron Brown says LSU
- 7:47Speaker 1: was far the bigger, stronger, faster, and better coach team
- 7:50Speaker 1: they had. That's stupid. No, it's not. LSU got destroyed
- 7:54Speaker 1: by Alabama by being outweighed physically. They beat the crap
- 7:58Speaker 1: out of them. We did the exact same thing Alabama.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Our problem was is LSU actually schemed smartly. That's the difference.
- 8:06Speaker 1: They were prepared. They were like, now we're not gonna
- 8:07Speaker 1: let them run down our throat just like Bama did
- 8:09Speaker 1: to us, because Bama what Bama did to them, we
- 8:12Speaker 1: did to Bama. So no, it's not about strength and
- 8:15Speaker 1: all of that. I mean, hell, our Mason Thomas was
- 8:17Speaker 1: out there cooking. G baby got the stripsack and you know,
- 8:20Speaker 1: we'll talk about devins in a minute. But my point is,
- 8:22Speaker 1: our problem, offensively is we just made some stupid choices,
- 8:25Speaker 1: very stupid choices, and one of those made choices is
- 8:30Speaker 1: that we refuse to like, you know, throw the ball.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Cool did you see this play. I want to make
- 8:36Speaker 1: sure that I wasn't the only one I was watching
- 8:37Speaker 1: this game. There was a play where Jackson Arnold took
- 8:41Speaker 1: the hike, he rotated to the right, he stepped his
- 8:44Speaker 1: foot beautifully and threw it and guess what, JJ Hester
- 8:50Speaker 1: caught it for fifty yards. Isn't that amazing? Wasn't that
- 8:54Speaker 1: just fire? Why didn't we do more of that? Yeah?
- 8:57Speaker 1: There was decisions made. It just you didn't do that.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you do that? Right, You've got third down right,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and you're making move like you're you're moving the ball
- 9:08Speaker 1: down the field, like we had two great drives. We
- 9:10Speaker 1: were driving down the field. I mean we scored seventeen points. Right,
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're driving. You get to get a field go, and
- 9:16Speaker 1: the opportunity to get a field go another touchdown, especially
- 9:18Speaker 1: after that fifty yard touchdown from Hester drove down. Jackson
- 9:21Speaker 1: runs into the one and David Robinson runs it down
- 9:23Speaker 1: the throat scores a touchdown in which I don't know
- 9:25Speaker 1: if y'a knew that he got hurt too. Yeah, but
- 9:31Speaker 1: why would you throw.
- 9:34Speaker 3: A QB.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Double pass? I know Bowers Trout was a quarterback, but
- 9:38Speaker 1: why would you do that, well, now you gonna do
- 9:40Speaker 1: is just keep running down they throw. It was just
- 9:43Speaker 1: a lot of questionable decisions there that was ridiculous.
- 9:46Speaker 2: It's it's like we did everything last week and then
- 9:53Speaker 2: it came out this week and we're.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Like, we're let's let's go ahead and open it up.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Let's let's lets some throwing happen, and man, it just
- 10:03Speaker 2: it just didn't listen. You're you're running, you're running, you're running,
- 10:07Speaker 2: you're actually on the move, and then you throw that
- 10:09Speaker 2: pass and it's like, you know, I know how those
- 10:13Speaker 2: things get coached. And I promise you that Bower sharp
- 10:17Speaker 2: heard at least fifty five times. Don't just toss it
- 10:22Speaker 2: up like you got to just throw it out of bounds,
- 10:25Speaker 2: Throw it out of bounds, throw it at somebody's legs.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Take the penalty.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I mean, you cannot just toss it up because everybody
- 10:32Speaker 2: was going to be in the same area if it
- 10:35Speaker 2: went if it went wrong.
- 10:36Speaker 3: So I mean, it's it's just more of the same right.
- 10:42Speaker 1: On the offensive side. Wasn't there that was where the
- 10:44Speaker 1: problem was.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't. And you saw you saw them, you know.
- 10:51Speaker 2: I mean, it took a long time for Jackson to
- 10:53Speaker 2: take off and run for the first time, and you
- 10:56Speaker 2: know for a called QB run and with that working
- 10:59Speaker 2: last week, and you know, why not try it. There's
- 11:04Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff that you just didn't try.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And you came out and you were still I mean listen,
- 11:09Speaker 2: you go into halftime. You gave up the kickoff return,
- 11:12Speaker 2: which you know was was definitely that was something that
- 11:17Speaker 2: looked like an absolute terrible effort from the entire coverage team.
- 11:22Speaker 2: And but again that's just been the microcosm of our
- 11:25Speaker 2: season is watching what the bower sharp. You know, the situation,
- 11:31Speaker 2: you know, the the the kickoff return, and then you
- 11:34Speaker 2: know you're going down, you know, you three and out
- 11:37Speaker 2: and you let them score another touchdown and and we've
- 11:42Speaker 2: said it before, the moment it goes to ten points,
- 11:44Speaker 2: I mean it's game over. I mean that that's you
- 11:46Speaker 2: pretty much were like, well that's it, so we were
- 11:50Speaker 2: we got I got, I mean I got up and
- 11:52Speaker 2: I was doing some dishes watching the game while doing
- 11:55Speaker 2: dishes like at that point, because it was just it
- 11:58Speaker 2: was like, man, I got stuff I gotta do.
- 12:00Speaker 1: No, I totally agree, and it's just bananas that that
- 12:07Speaker 1: the decision was. I mean and I feel bad for
- 12:10Speaker 1: Bowers Sharp here, right, Like Bower Sharp has not lived
- 12:12Speaker 1: up to all of the hype that we saw in
- 12:15Speaker 1: spring game camps and stuff. Dude was he's super athletic,
- 12:18Speaker 1: he was doing some stuff, and then you started to
- 12:21Speaker 1: force him to be your top guy, and he was
- 12:23Speaker 1: not ready for that. He is built to be your
- 12:25Speaker 1: complimentary guy, especially day one, but then everybody got hurt
- 12:29Speaker 1: and it got to the point where he's the leading
- 12:31Speaker 1: receiver on the team right now because he ain't got
- 12:34Speaker 1: nobody that's man to stay healthy enough for it. Right,
- 12:37Speaker 1: So you feel bad for the dude that he first
- 12:40Speaker 1: year up in big boy ball and he's expected to
- 12:44Speaker 1: do everything. He's also not big enough yet to be
- 12:47Speaker 1: that big time tidiend like that he needs to put
- 12:49Speaker 1: on about ten pounds and you know, you know ten
- 12:52Speaker 1: and muscle probably had about another five of fat. Get
- 12:55Speaker 1: him up there good to fifty five, which is probably
- 12:59Speaker 1: what I happened this in the summer. So I think
- 13:01Speaker 1: that he'll be a functional guy, but you asked him
- 13:04Speaker 1: to do way too much in a situation he was
- 13:07Speaker 1: not prepared for.
- 13:09Speaker 3: It's it's kind of I mean, that's how everybody that's
- 13:12Speaker 3: that's the that's.
- 13:13Speaker 2: The whole you know, scheme and offense. You know, just
- 13:16Speaker 2: because the injuries that was you were forced to take
- 13:21Speaker 2: a lot of guys who were man not really supposed
- 13:24Speaker 2: to be big pieces of this offense this year all
- 13:27Speaker 2: of a sudden become focal points of the offense. You
- 13:30Speaker 2: know who who on their Bengo card had you know,
- 13:34Speaker 2: the most wide receiver routes ran by J. J.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Hester this year. You know, to start the year off,
- 13:38Speaker 3: Bower Sharp, Jay. We we sat in the.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Temple game and I told you said, my my prediction
- 13:45Speaker 2: for touchdowns for Burks was ten and after the third touchdown,
- 13:49Speaker 2: I told I looked, you know, I'm gonna have to
- 13:51Speaker 2: We're gonna have to up that. You know, I'm gonna
- 13:53Speaker 2: have to say that to just tending a conference play
- 13:55Speaker 2: because he looks like he's on some pace.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Right.
- 13:59Speaker 3: He never got another touchdown.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I also said, Bower Sharp at the end of that
- 14:03Speaker 2: game one, you know, had fifty percent of the tight
- 14:06Speaker 2: end production we had from the previous year.
- 14:10Speaker 3: And so yeah, you just you can't do that.
- 14:18Speaker 2: It's it's funny because we've heard we've heard people, you know, well,
- 14:24Speaker 2: they've got this guy injured, and you know, how what
- 14:26Speaker 2: would this team look like if this guy?
- 14:28Speaker 3: What would this game look like?
- 14:29Speaker 2: They said it about Trey Harris when we played Ole Miss,
- 14:32Speaker 2: What would this offense look like if they had Trey Harris?
- 14:34Speaker 3: And we're like.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Come on now, like and everybody. You know, the injuries
- 14:38Speaker 2: were a story. They needed the story to be good enough.
- 14:41Speaker 2: They need to explain why people should stay tuned into
- 14:44Speaker 2: an Oklahoma football game. And you know, so they started
- 14:47Speaker 2: playing up the injuries in over the past couple of games.
- 14:50Speaker 2: But you know, when we're playing on SEC Network and
- 14:53Speaker 2: ESPN Plus and stuff, it just this was just a
- 14:57Speaker 2: year that it's just there's it's not one thing that
- 15:01Speaker 2: went wrong. There's so many different things that it's like,
- 15:04Speaker 2: how do you even how do you even you know,
- 15:10Speaker 2: give yourself the opportunity to be competitive.
- 15:14Speaker 3: When you don't know where to start?
- 15:16Speaker 2: And you know, we complained about the the identity and
- 15:20Speaker 2: you know, they had no identity all year long because
- 15:23Speaker 2: they didn't know who was going to be there. You know,
- 15:26Speaker 2: it's like the weekly captain's situation, except for it was like, hey,
- 15:30Speaker 2: that's that's what the depth chart started looking like.
- 15:32Speaker 1: It was.
- 15:32Speaker 2: It was a joke seeing that that injury status report,
- 15:37Speaker 2: it was a joke. By the end of the year,
- 15:38Speaker 2: I mean people, it was like, hey, can we have
- 15:40Speaker 2: twelve people and then can we get fourteen on there?
- 15:42Speaker 2: How about fifteen?
- 15:45Speaker 1: So no, you're one hundred percent right there. Everything fell
- 15:52Speaker 1: apart all year, nothing but injuries, and we dealt with it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: So I think I'm glad that we're about to hire
- 15:58Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Don't worry. We're gonna talk about the decommits.
- 16:01Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the We're talking about the commits,
- 16:05Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the transfer that hit. We'll talk
- 16:09Speaker 1: about the other ones that's gonna hit. I expect some
- 16:11Speaker 1: more to hit while we're on the live, so we'll
- 16:13Speaker 1: be able to break a lot of that stuff while
- 16:15Speaker 1: you're all are hanging out with us. So thank y'all
- 16:17Speaker 1: for pulling up hit the light button. If you do
- 16:19Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe, rate us, review us, give us
- 16:21Speaker 1: five stars. Y'all know we always dive into the details
- 16:24Speaker 1: of this stuff and we'd like to give y'all our
- 16:25Speaker 1: honest opinions and stuff, and so we appreciate y'all pulling
- 16:28Speaker 1: up one thing. Coop though that bothered me the most
- 16:31Speaker 1: about all of this too. And I'm being honest around
- 16:35Speaker 1: the play the play, and this is why I said
- 16:37Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator was so much excited about I'm so
- 16:39Speaker 1: excited about us getting one. Is why would you run
- 16:42Speaker 1: a wide receiver screen with Zion Raging as your main blockers?
- 16:49Speaker 1: Your lead love Zion, he's your lead blocker. Zion's great
- 16:52Speaker 1: for just going deep. He's a little fast dude. You
- 16:55Speaker 1: get him in space, you get them the ball in space.
- 16:57Speaker 1: He can do stuff, but you gotta get him in
- 16:59Speaker 1: space he's by himself and then he can start, you know,
- 17:02Speaker 1: shaking and running. You don't use him as a lead
- 17:05Speaker 1: blocker when you got a six four and a six
- 17:07Speaker 1: sixth dude on your roster. What are we doing here?
- 17:10Speaker 1: It's little decisions like that that made me say, yep,
- 17:13Speaker 1: I cannot wait till the new OC comes in and
- 17:17Speaker 1: turns this around. Because the bigger thing is what we
- 17:19Speaker 1: need is someone that's going to continue to call the
- 17:22Speaker 1: pass play as we called and tell the quarterback to
- 17:24Speaker 1: throw the ball. That's it. Because I've seen where the
- 17:27Speaker 1: pocket was looking good. It was like, okay, you got
- 17:29Speaker 1: just enough time. Lead your receiver leads your receiver, lead
- 17:33Speaker 1: your receiver. I'm screaming on the sideline and the LSU
- 17:36Speaker 1: dude behind me is cracking up. He's like, man, you
- 17:38Speaker 1: know he's not gonna throw the ball. I was like, look,
- 17:41Speaker 1: let me have this, and he was just dying. I'm
- 17:44Speaker 1: just like, let me have this. And I'm just screaming
- 17:46Speaker 1: throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it. And I'm
- 17:48Speaker 1: watching the routes and I'm like, there's a dude, if
- 17:50Speaker 1: you hit him, if you throw it at this moment, boom,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you've got to catch and he can fall down, he
- 17:54Speaker 1: can keep running. The JJ Hester throw is still the one.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I'm just like, you get him on moves like that often,
- 18:01Speaker 1: because that's how big he is and how fast he is.
- 18:03Speaker 1: The only reason why he fell down there is because
- 18:05Speaker 1: the corner grabbed him because he saw that he was dusted.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Like you see him when he does the movie. He
- 18:10Speaker 1: runs past the guy. You see the guy grab him
- 18:12Speaker 1: and he keeps up with him. At that point, Hester
- 18:15Speaker 1: gets that catch, and You're like, why don't we do
- 18:18Speaker 1: more of that? Please? I would like more of that.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Get him on a deep out route something.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Now.
- 18:28Speaker 1: The one time he actually tried to hit him on
- 18:30Speaker 1: a deep hitch. It almost got picked. But it's like
- 18:35Speaker 1: that's the stuff we need more of. But I think
- 18:37Speaker 1: we'll get a lot more of that coming next season.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Coop defense wise, though, first half was e Eli got
- 18:46Speaker 1: cooked twice. Feel bad for him, but he's a freshman.
- 18:49Speaker 1: They watched tape, they found ways try to get around him,
- 18:52Speaker 1: get him. Watch that one catch though, you can't do
- 18:54Speaker 1: anything about that that there's literally nothing you do that.
- 18:57Speaker 1: That's like Ryan Williams catch, Like what do you do?
- 19:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at that at that point in that situation,
- 19:05Speaker 2: your your alternative alternate option is to grab on to
- 19:09Speaker 2: him and cause pass interference.
- 19:13Speaker 3: I mean like that's that's literally it. But that's not
- 19:15Speaker 3: how Eli plays.
- 19:16Speaker 2: So you know, again your your freshman gave up a
- 19:19Speaker 2: play that that I mean, it is what it is.
- 19:22Speaker 2: But yeah, defensive wise, nobody's really thrown the ball at us.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Nobody's really thrown the wall, thrown the ball at us.
- 19:36Speaker 2: You know, with any big consistency, everybody's wanted to spread
- 19:38Speaker 2: us or spread us around. Auburn did more of it
- 19:41Speaker 2: than most than most others did at what you know,
- 19:43Speaker 2: throughout the rest of the year. I mean even Tennessee
- 19:46Speaker 2: didn't really vombit. You know, they had another Thornton had
- 19:49Speaker 2: the exact same play situation that happened against US with
- 19:52Speaker 2: his big long touchdown. Happened this week, you know against Vanderbilt.
- 19:57Speaker 2: You know the safety except for the safety with US,
- 20:01Speaker 2: it was Bowman and he committed to the line and
- 20:04Speaker 2: didn't have any inside coverage help. And I believe at
- 20:08Speaker 2: that point that was Canai and so can I got cooked. Well,
- 20:11Speaker 2: that happened again, but outside of that, man, it's it's
- 20:15Speaker 2: Elisu decided they were gonna throw the ball and it
- 20:17Speaker 2: was gonna happen.
- 20:17Speaker 3: And yeah, I've seen you guys in the chat. I'm
- 20:20Speaker 3: not gonna lie.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Nus Meyer today is probably in a crap ton of pain.
- 20:26Speaker 2: And I think Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly probably went a
- 20:31Speaker 2: little uh uh. And I'm still in this idea from
- 20:35Speaker 2: from the scoop guys in the post game, but they
- 20:39Speaker 2: did a little Bud Kilmer uh you know, get in there,
- 20:42Speaker 2: give him a big old shot in his shoulder. He's
- 20:45Speaker 2: got how many weeks to you know, to heal. You know,
- 20:48Speaker 2: let's go do it. You know, he has three or
- 20:50Speaker 2: four weeks to heal, you know, before he has to
- 20:52Speaker 2: play again. So they they shot him up and that
- 20:56Speaker 2: first throw deep, I was like, you gotta be kidding me,
- 20:59Speaker 2: because I mean it looks I was thinking, like, dude,
- 21:02Speaker 2: mind had a broken clavical you know, a collarbone, uh,
- 21:06Speaker 2: separated shoulder at minimum, and so I gotta think today
- 21:09Speaker 2: that it's probably a separated shoulder situation.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Yep.
- 21:13Speaker 2: And and he got he got shut up, and he
- 21:15Speaker 2: came back in and he bawled out.
- 21:18Speaker 1: The way that he got hit. I mean, first g
- 21:24Speaker 1: baby got him on that fumble, which was he's he
- 21:28Speaker 1: He's had an exceptional season. Shout out to him, Grayson
- 21:31Speaker 1: Halton has had an exceptional season. We were this was
- 21:34Speaker 1: what this was the d line and that we was
- 21:36Speaker 1: hoping that he would turn out to be yep, and yeah,
- 21:39Speaker 1: he has been coming out of nowhere, ran through that
- 21:41Speaker 1: bad boy got the fumble, and I love how our
- 21:44Speaker 1: Mason was already like still in pursuit, because that's the
- 21:48Speaker 1: thing about it. If you've watched any of my recruiting videos,
- 21:50Speaker 1: especially around defensive players, the one thing I point out
- 21:53Speaker 1: that I've recognized that we search after dudes is ones
- 21:57Speaker 1: that don't stop going like their motor is constant. Even
- 22:00Speaker 1: if the ball looks like it may be dead, they're
- 22:01Speaker 1: still racing after the ball. And so Coop, I noticed
- 22:04Speaker 1: that our Mason didn't stop. He kept chasing him, jumped
- 22:08Speaker 1: over to do picked up the fumble, ran in for
- 22:10Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's what happens if you keep pursuing. Because
- 22:13Speaker 1: I can't think of what game I was watching, but
- 22:15Speaker 1: there was a fumble and nobody realized that there was
- 22:18Speaker 1: a fumble in front of them, and then eventually the
- 22:20Speaker 1: team jumped on it. I can't think of which game
- 22:21Speaker 1: it was, but you see that when players kind of
- 22:24Speaker 1: just stopped, they're like, okay, it plays over, I'm not
- 22:26Speaker 1: gonna do anything. No, he kept going, grabbed it, scooped
- 22:29Speaker 1: that bad boy up boom goes in. If anything, our
- 22:34Speaker 1: Mason may have made himself some money with a chance
- 22:37Speaker 1: of going pro. I don't see him going pro yet,
- 22:41Speaker 1: but if he does, I wouldn't blame him because I
- 22:43Speaker 1: think he just made himself some money. Yeah, with the
- 22:47Speaker 1: way he lay, I think they may grade him. The
- 22:50Speaker 1: only problem is he's shorter, but they still may grade
- 22:52Speaker 1: him day two, like late day two, early day three.
- 22:57Speaker 1: He may he may be intrigued, but I still feel
- 23:01Speaker 1: like he may come back.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I think that our Mason Thomas and g Baby, a
- 23:05Speaker 2: couple of guys on those lines, that's gonna be the
- 23:07Speaker 2: same situation. We're gonna we're gonna have to go talk
- 23:11Speaker 2: to the donors and say, hey, uh, you know, we
- 23:13Speaker 2: want to we want to keep these guys here. I
- 23:15Speaker 2: think that if we can do this, uh, you know,
- 23:17Speaker 2: if you can return back, I mean, let's just be
- 23:20Speaker 2: honest with you, if if you can bring back our
- 23:24Speaker 2: Mason g Baby, Uh, if Dominic Williams decides that, you know,
- 23:28Speaker 2: he wants to stick around. You know, you go in
- 23:31Speaker 2: with David Stone and Jaden you know, as sophomores, a
- 23:35Speaker 2: full entire year in the strength and conditioning program. I mean,
- 23:38Speaker 2: this defensive line is gonna be salty again next year.
- 23:41Speaker 2: And and and I and I really really do believe
- 23:44Speaker 2: that because I also think that you've got some more
- 23:45Speaker 2: of these younger edge guys that are starting to kind
- 23:48Speaker 2: of starting to kind of you know, get their body wise, uh,
- 23:52Speaker 2: you know, and then knowledge of the acknowledge of the system. Uh,
- 23:55Speaker 2: you know, a him and a Whine are two guys
- 23:58Speaker 2: that you know are just hybrid freaks that you know,
- 24:00Speaker 2: I think are our big, big time guys.
- 24:03Speaker 3: And then.
- 24:05Speaker 2: You know, you get guys who you know, Danny Aa Koye,
- 24:07Speaker 2: Nigel Smith, these guys are all going to to you know,
- 24:11Speaker 2: have roles next year. So we've got we've got some
- 24:13Speaker 2: stuff now with our Mason Jay. I mean, I think
- 24:17Speaker 2: that our Mason needs another year and I and I
- 24:21Speaker 2: selfishly want him to come back for another year.
- 24:23Speaker 3: I'd like to see him.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Put a good full season you know of tape out
- 24:29Speaker 2: there this year.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Everybody knows.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I mean there's a chance he's going to be on
- 24:33Speaker 2: the All SEC team. It's just where you know, I
- 24:36Speaker 2: think that he is in the top five in the
- 24:39Speaker 2: SEC and sacks and I'll look at that here in
- 24:41Speaker 2: a second. But you got a good chance for that.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have to pony up some money. And
- 24:47Speaker 2: it just is what it is. And if you can
- 24:49Speaker 2: pony up some money and get some people to uh uh,
- 24:53Speaker 2: you know, make it worth their while to return, there's
- 24:57Speaker 2: nothing bad about.
- 24:58Speaker 1: That way, yep. That can't at all linebackers. This was
- 25:07Speaker 1: probably one of the more mediocre games I saw a
- 25:11Speaker 1: lot of them. Not that they didn't play that they
- 25:14Speaker 1: played bad. It's just was not at the level that
- 25:16Speaker 1: I was expecting. We felt like we were out of
- 25:19Speaker 1: place in a few spots, especially when we were hitting
- 25:21Speaker 1: the running backs. We weren't there to stuff the run
- 25:23Speaker 1: most of the game, but it appears that scheme wise,
- 25:26Speaker 1: we were trying to focus more on the past and
- 25:28Speaker 1: so that's how Caden Durham gets that big run and
- 25:30Speaker 1: they started to just really run it down the throat
- 25:32Speaker 1: like they did. And we still haven't given up on
- 25:34Speaker 1: hundred yards for a running back this season though, which
- 25:36Speaker 1: is really weird to me.
- 25:39Speaker 2: And but I will say Jay, I mean I think
- 25:41Speaker 2: that I think that he was averaging I mean they
- 25:45Speaker 2: were averaging like three yards of carry prior to that
- 25:47Speaker 2: big run by Durham, So this team still was holding
- 25:50Speaker 2: him down. It was just like the the intense that
- 25:54Speaker 2: that that extra edge didn't our defense didn't have that,
- 25:58Speaker 2: And but again they didn't. They were spreading it out
- 26:01Speaker 2: sideline to sideline. You had Kobe, you had Kip, you
- 26:04Speaker 2: had Danny. You even saw Lewis in there a little
- 26:07Speaker 2: bit later. But they were they were they were trying
- 26:10Speaker 2: to stretch us out and they're putting those linebackers, uh
- 26:13Speaker 2: you know, eyes side to side side to side, side
- 26:16Speaker 2: to side, and uh, you know, I saw it, just
- 26:19Speaker 2: wearing them down, because that's hard, especially when you're you're
- 26:23Speaker 2: mentally realizing again that you probably aren't winning this game
- 26:26Speaker 2: unless you guys, can you know, score a couple of touchdowns,
- 26:29Speaker 2: cause a couple of turnovers, and they just didn't just
- 26:32Speaker 2: didn't do it. After after he came back in from
- 26:34Speaker 2: being injured.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Nope, you're not at at all. But I'll say this,
- 26:39Speaker 1: we got some good pressure. I didn't even check the
- 26:41Speaker 1: PFF stuff because I was in the hotel trying to
- 26:45Speaker 1: get my life together so I can get ready for
- 26:47Speaker 1: my flight. I ate breakfast with my daughter and my family,
- 26:50Speaker 1: which I slowed everybody up. I had get that video
- 26:52Speaker 1: out for you out make sure I had the content ready,
- 26:56Speaker 1: especially because we're in the midst of still a coaching.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but overall, Jay, I don't know if I'm frozen.
- 27:05Speaker 2: You're a frozen, So you guys appreciate you all hanging
- 27:08Speaker 2: out with us.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I think we lost you, Coop. What did y'all lose me? Yep,
- 27:18Speaker 1: we lost you, Coop because I can still see myself
- 27:20Speaker 1: on the YouTube video. So we'll wait till Coop gets back.
- 27:22Speaker 1: It looks like his interwebs are acting a little bit
- 27:24Speaker 1: on the weird side. We'll bring him back in just
- 27:28Speaker 1: a moment. But hey, they got pulling up his like button.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Newt to the channel. Subscribe, rate us, review us, give
- 27:33Speaker 1: us five, and I think we just got a super chat. David.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that. We appreciate it. Thank
- 27:42Speaker 1: you for the five bucks. We appreciate the billy laugh
- 27:44Speaker 1: that you sent to the people. And he has made
- 27:48Speaker 1: his valiant return. The interwebs is acting up for you
- 27:51Speaker 1: right now, Coop.
- 27:52Speaker 3: I guess, so, I guess, so is it storm up there? No,
- 27:55Speaker 3: not at all, not at all. Okay, all right, but
- 27:58Speaker 3: uh I did want to say.
- 28:00Speaker 1: So.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got Danny Stetzman one hundred and ten tackles.
- 28:03Speaker 2: He's number four in the SEC, behind two of the
- 28:07Speaker 2: kids from Michigan, Mississippi State, and then the week's kid
- 28:11Speaker 2: from LSU. And then you've got ar Mason at number four,
- 28:15Speaker 2: I guess, with nine sacks. So number four in the
- 28:18Speaker 2: SEC with nine sacks.
- 28:19Speaker 1: So yeah, it's huge grade wise, it just looked at
- 28:24Speaker 1: our defense still has a grade of ninety one. I'm
- 28:29Speaker 1: gonna do this because I'm really curious to what this
- 28:32Speaker 1: looks like in all of college football. Actually, we're gonna
- 28:36Speaker 1: take cs off put. In FBS defensive grade, we are
- 28:43Speaker 1: a ninety one, which puts us twelfth in the country.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Defensive grade. Our run defense grade is a ninety four
- 28:52Speaker 1: four by PFF. That's number three in the country. Coverage
- 28:57Speaker 1: grade seventy seven, which ain't very high. That's probably in
- 29:01Speaker 1: the bottom. It's probably a you know, yeah, that's number
- 29:06Speaker 1: eighty two. So that's how that finished out raw stacks.
- 29:13Speaker 1: We'll do raw stats real quick, and we're gonna do
- 29:15Speaker 1: a full we'll do a full recap of the season,
- 29:21Speaker 1: but just quickly, twenty second in the country in total
- 29:24Speaker 1: defense as far as yards per game for Oklahoma, twenty
- 29:27Speaker 1: second in the country. Did you you want to expect
- 29:28Speaker 1: that as well as bad as seasons being twenty second? Coup?
- 29:33Speaker 3: What does that? What does that look like? If you
- 29:35Speaker 3: have like a I mean, an average offense, right, just mediocre,
- 29:42Speaker 3: just if you're if you're in the eighties, seventies and eighties,
- 29:46Speaker 3: you know, in the offensive statistics, that's fifth in the SEC.
- 29:55Speaker 1: The defense is legitimate. It's not perfect, but it's legitimate
- 29:58Speaker 1: in a lot of situations. With our defense is our
- 30:01Speaker 1: offense has put him in bad situations. That's really what
- 30:04Speaker 1: it is. Defense hasn't been perfect. But anyway, all right,
- 30:09Speaker 1: so let's talk about some changes. It's time to start
- 30:13Speaker 1: talking about the adjustments. Y'all are about to see. We're
- 30:16Speaker 1: about to see some big stuff happen. First and foremotion. First,
- 30:19Speaker 1: de commitment. You've got Marcus Harris, the wide receiver out
- 30:23Speaker 1: of California. He has hit the de commitment pool. Now granted,
- 30:31Speaker 1: one of the things that was pointed out to me
- 30:33Speaker 1: by someone not too long ago is he's got a
- 30:36Speaker 1: matter dye, the guy out of California, sant Ana, California. Top.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Let me seem go put up his his his great
- 30:45Speaker 1: stuff for y'all to look at. Oh, there it is, Boom.
- 30:49Speaker 1: We'll change to this tab. This is Marcus five to
- 30:53Speaker 1: eleven eight, five four star consensus composite for top three
- 30:59Speaker 1: fifty player in the country. He's out, he decommitted. And
- 31:04Speaker 1: what I've heard is that he is friends with Cortez Mills,
- 31:09Speaker 1: in which when we talk about our guy Cortes Mills,
- 31:16Speaker 1: prediction was put in that he is going to most
- 31:19Speaker 1: likely flip to Nebraska. Why Nebraska needs wide receivers in
- 31:27Speaker 1: the worst way. And they've been courting him for a while.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Remember they had Malachai Covid that just left, and I
- 31:38Speaker 1: think a couple others are expected out of Nebraska to
- 31:40Speaker 1: hit the portal. So they're paying up for guys. This
- 31:46Speaker 1: basically what's happening. They need wide receivers, and I think
- 31:49Speaker 1: that Cortez Mills is most likely gonna go with Marcus
- 31:54Speaker 1: in which that's actually I need to find real quick.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Had it open and closed it on sent so my bad.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Oh yeah, these two, these two guys on an official visit.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Oh, you got really really close.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And you know they they they became good friends and
- 32:15Speaker 2: and so I mean, yeah it Nebraska has a up
- 32:19Speaker 2: and coming NIL collective. They've got, you know, they've got
- 32:24Speaker 2: a good looking plan going on. You know, with Riola
- 32:27Speaker 2: going into a sophomore year, you know he is going
- 32:29Speaker 2: to get better. And so yeah, they're going to try
- 32:32Speaker 2: to get him with as many weapons as as they can,
- 32:36Speaker 2: because I mean, you look at the Big ten and
- 32:38Speaker 2: it's not I mean, listen, it's just it's there's you
- 32:43Speaker 2: got Oregon. You saw Ohio State in a rivalry game
- 32:48Speaker 2: with really no reason to lose, lose, and so Nebraska
- 32:52Speaker 2: sees that, you know, this might be the the the
- 32:55Speaker 2: opportunity and the time to get in here because you know,
- 32:58Speaker 2: what does Ryan Day look like, because I mean like
- 33:02Speaker 2: he he he may be coaching for his career in
- 33:06Speaker 2: that first playoff game. He he may need a couple
- 33:08Speaker 2: of playoff victories in order.
- 33:10Speaker 3: To get in there.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Uh and and to stick around because that's four Is
- 33:14Speaker 2: that four in a row to Michigan?
- 33:16Speaker 1: Now, yes, it's four?
- 33:19Speaker 2: And oh yes, yeah, because I think that there was
- 33:23Speaker 2: one of their seniors during the flag planting uh situation
- 33:27Speaker 2: this weekend. You know he's he They had the stat
- 33:31Speaker 2: up that he was zero and four versus Michigan in
- 33:33Speaker 2: his time at Ohio State.
- 33:35Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you don't want that to happen to you.
- 33:42Speaker 1: That's kind of one of those things, right, Yeah, you
- 33:44Speaker 1: don't want that to happen to you, And it unfortunately
- 33:48Speaker 1: is so mills on there and then of course the
- 33:53Speaker 1: big one that dropped. Let me get that for y'all
- 33:58Speaker 1: really quick. Got that that boo here you go, coop.
- 34:06Speaker 1: J Ques Pedaway has told the people that he is
- 34:11Speaker 1: hitting the transfer portal. My expectation is he's probably gonna
- 34:16Speaker 1: go home. I'm I'm expecting him to go back to Houston.
- 34:22Speaker 1: You want me to be absolutely honest. Now, it could
- 34:23Speaker 1: be other schools. Jquest Pedaway was really good. Top one hundred,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I think it was a top one fifty player in
- 34:28Speaker 1: the country coming in.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Yeah, very uh, I mean listen, listen, he's good. They
- 34:36Speaker 2: were running to see him go. Yeah, they were running.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Uh some of the old oh gosh, what was it,
- 34:43Speaker 2: the you know down in Texas. There they were showing
- 34:46Speaker 2: a bunch of track times from when Caden Durham was
- 34:48Speaker 2: a sophomore and it was a sophomore freshman or whatever,
- 34:51Speaker 2: and Quest Pedaway was right up there. I mean, he's
- 34:53Speaker 2: a he's a fast guy.
- 34:54Speaker 3: I just you know it. Listen.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Some sometimes you just don't work out of the program.
- 34:59Speaker 2: And that last little glimpse of that last ditch effort
- 35:02Speaker 2: against Tennessee, we all thought, all, right, here we go,
- 35:05Speaker 2: this is it. Jaques Peedaway has you know, this is
- 35:08Speaker 2: his time to get out there.
- 35:09Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Sometimes and you know, I think that there's gonna be
- 35:12Speaker 2: a lot of guys on this roster that they just
- 35:14Speaker 2: need fresh starts, and you're, yeah, this is not Jaquest
- 35:18Speaker 2: Peedaway is probably not going to go down to Texas State.
- 35:21Speaker 2: He's probably you know, you're the guys that we send
- 35:24Speaker 2: on their way. These guys are most likely going to
- 35:27Speaker 2: go to smaller you know, G five and you know
- 35:29Speaker 2: smaller P four, uh you know teams.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Well, so see that was the old US, that was
- 35:36Speaker 1: when Brevitables first came in and started cleaning house. Now
- 35:39Speaker 1: the guys that they brought in, if they're leaving, they're
- 35:42Speaker 1: probably going to another P four program. Right we're actually
- 35:45Speaker 1: recruiting really good dudes. Pedaway is one of those dudes
- 35:48Speaker 1: that's gonna be one of them that I expect. Uh
- 35:51Speaker 1: And and Jason Hall of Fame was good, Jason, thank you,
- 35:55Speaker 1: says Aggie's are all over ped Away. I totally could
- 35:59Speaker 1: see that. I can totally see that pet is gonna
- 36:03Speaker 1: be one that I could see him going to Texas
- 36:07Speaker 1: A and m I mean he's from the Houston area.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It's not that far. That makes sense. Go for it
- 36:16Speaker 1: right now, that's your first two. That is the first
- 36:18Speaker 1: two dominoes that have really hit. And I say that
- 36:24Speaker 1: more's gonna happen. I'm waiting right now for confirmation on
- 36:28Speaker 1: about five yeah, and if they happen, you'll, uh, we'll
- 36:37Speaker 1: talk about that here. And there's a very good chance
- 36:40Speaker 1: that it's gonna happen over the next, over the next,
- 36:44Speaker 1: I'd say thirty minutes while we're we're kicking it. But coo,
- 36:49Speaker 1: I warned a lot of you, and I've seen a
- 36:50Speaker 1: couple of people say in here and ask the questions
- 36:52Speaker 1: about our bad season, blah blah blah. Believe me when
- 36:55Speaker 1: I say if Nebraska's still pulling players, Florida's still pull
- 36:59Speaker 1: in players. All these teams still pulling players, and they
- 37:02Speaker 1: had seasons roughly around like us. I'm not sure what
- 37:05Speaker 1: makes y'all thinking things is gonna change an head and
- 37:06Speaker 1: a lot of these kids see the opportunity to play
- 37:08Speaker 1: not only early in the SEC, but go out there
- 37:10Speaker 1: and be the ones to make the change because they
- 37:12Speaker 1: know if they go out there and make this change, hey,
- 37:15Speaker 1: that makes them look real good. Our defense is already there.
- 37:19Speaker 1: We just need a quarterback that's willing to throw the ball.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Could Jackson otal do it with new OC? Maybe? Could
- 37:25Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins be that guy that doesn't? Maybe do he
- 37:28Speaker 1: transferring a dude to do it? Maybe? Unfortunately, there really
- 37:31Speaker 1: isn't an answer right now now For me, I want
- 37:35Speaker 1: the new OC to make Michael Hawkins into a beast.
- 37:38Speaker 1: That's what I want. Make him into a monster of
- 37:42Speaker 1: a quarterback. He makes decisions, he's willing to throw it.
- 37:45Speaker 1: The good thing is the offensive line got better as
- 37:48Speaker 1: the season progressed. They just wasn't fully healthy. Still got
- 37:51Speaker 1: the two Jakes, they returned boom. If not Isaiah Aughtry
- 37:55Speaker 1: Dents ready, he's out of his freshman year now he's
- 37:58Speaker 1: gonna go out there in about to play adding with
- 38:01Speaker 1: a Trey Dent. I don't care who else gonna be
- 38:04Speaker 1: next tackle. You may ask you grab one out of
- 38:05Speaker 1: the portal, but I think interior with E P L.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Way Wou Sexton, I mean Ozaida. You put Ozaida there
- 38:16Speaker 1: with uh with Waywoo and E. P. L and BJ Brooks.
- 38:20Speaker 1: We got a lot of big dudes like they're all
- 38:22Speaker 1: in the three twenty range, and they're athletic enough. They're
- 38:25Speaker 1: just young. We ain't gonna be that next year. That's
- 38:28Speaker 1: the only thing that's good. We won't be as young
- 38:30Speaker 1: as you were coming this year. And and if we
- 38:33Speaker 1: don't lose five wide receivers, which Coop did you had
- 38:35Speaker 1: on your big card because I did six. I didn't.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I didn't have six. Well, yeah, six, Now I mean
- 38:41Speaker 1: with my boy Curry, with Zion he's I need Zion
- 38:44Speaker 1: healthy because he can block. He can block. And Prime
- 38:54Speaker 1: Time vari asked what do you think about Mitchell not
- 38:56Speaker 1: getting any playing time? Uh BV talked about him one
- 39:00Speaker 1: of his pressers at the beginning of the season that
- 39:01Speaker 1: he had some growing up to do. Remember he's only
- 39:03Speaker 1: seventeen years old. That might be why you didn't see him.
- 39:10Speaker 1: He may not have hit that stride of being mature
- 39:17Speaker 1: enough on the field. It's probably the best way he
- 39:19Speaker 1: was in Baton Rouge, though I saw him dressed out.
- 39:21Speaker 1: I think that's the first game I saw him on
- 39:23Speaker 1: the road. In the road games I went to, I
- 39:25Speaker 1: don't I didn't look at I didn't go to Missouri,
- 39:27Speaker 1: so I don't know. But I didn't see him at
- 39:28Speaker 1: Ole miss I didn't see him at Auburn. He very
- 39:32Speaker 1: well could have been there, but I don't recall seeing him.
- 39:34Speaker 1: But I saw his big self walking around that sideline
- 39:37Speaker 1: against LSU. If he's if he uh, he gets it going,
- 39:44Speaker 1: he goes to class, he does what he needs to do.
- 39:47Speaker 1: He's don't make it happen. That's all what I'm waiting
- 39:52Speaker 1: for now. We're waiting for the official announcement for this OC. Yeah,
- 39:56Speaker 1: because once we know who the OC is COOP, then
- 39:58Speaker 1: we can make a determining fact, honestly what players are
- 40:01Speaker 1: gonna be around. Because that's that's where my question is.
- 40:06Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be a massive amount there's gonna
- 40:12Speaker 1: be a massive amount of exodus of players leaving, but
- 40:18Speaker 1: the players leaving, the determining factor for a lot of
- 40:21Speaker 1: them will be whoever the OC is.
- 40:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not.
- 40:24Speaker 1: It's not a situation where it's just gonna be dudes.
- 40:26Speaker 1: A lot of these dudes. And if I'm correct, the
- 40:29Speaker 1: players already knows. Probably why you're starting to see some
- 40:32Speaker 1: people leave.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Now, it's and you know there's some of these guys
- 40:41Speaker 2: like a questped away. I mean, you had situations where
- 40:46Speaker 2: you just couldn't make it to the field. Uh, you
- 40:48Speaker 2: know there were times that he did make it on
- 40:52Speaker 2: the field, and he his route running and his choices
- 40:55Speaker 2: on where, you know, where to run just didn't. He
- 40:58Speaker 2: just didn't seem to run the concept that was how
- 41:01Speaker 2: it was supposed to go. So I don't know if
- 41:03Speaker 2: it's just you know, you get into a spot where
- 41:05Speaker 2: you can't feel you, I mean, you feel like you
- 41:07Speaker 2: can't do anything right. All right, Well, yeah, maybe it
- 41:11Speaker 2: is time for a good you know, for because you know,
- 41:14Speaker 2: maybe somebody else needs a new a new new digs
- 41:17Speaker 2: here and you know, wants to come this way. So
- 41:20Speaker 2: you know, I think Jaquez, what did he have ended
- 41:23Speaker 2: up with six catches in his career?
- 41:28Speaker 1: I want to think like fifty?
- 41:31Speaker 3: Okay, So like it mean, we're not it's not like
- 41:34Speaker 3: we're losing a ton.
- 41:37Speaker 2: And listen, and I'll say this because I mean I'll
- 41:40Speaker 2: I talk to you behind the you know, in the
- 41:42Speaker 2: green room about this.
- 41:43Speaker 1: But be caches for a hundred and fifty seven.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Yards, okay, So I think this is let's just get
- 41:55Speaker 2: guys here that want to play. I mean just let's
- 41:58Speaker 2: just like that's it. Because how many of us at
- 42:01Speaker 2: this point last year were ready for Fruit to not
- 42:04Speaker 2: come back to the team. Uh you know after the
- 42:07Speaker 2: Bowl game, a lot of us were frustrated with Fruit
- 42:11Speaker 2: and you know, maybe never wanted to see him again.
- 42:15Speaker 3: How you feel about that all year? This year? You know? Uh,
- 42:18Speaker 3: you know he he he has the first explosive play.
- 42:21Speaker 2: We all look at each other and we say, here
- 42:23Speaker 2: we go and then that's it.
- 42:26Speaker 3: That's it for the season.
- 42:27Speaker 2: And you know he came back and was more of
- 42:30Speaker 2: a decoy I think, and that it was in the
- 42:31Speaker 2: Missouri game, and man, I just I just say, this
- 42:36Speaker 2: is I don't want to see any of these guys go.
- 42:38Speaker 2: But people are going to leave, but you know, wanting
- 42:41Speaker 2: certain certain people to to bounce like. It's just you know,
- 42:44Speaker 2: be careful because you know we all wanted Fruit gone,
- 42:47Speaker 2: and uh well, we all would love to have him
- 42:50Speaker 2: for the whole season this year.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Oh oh did you see who? Oh? So okay, the
- 43:07Speaker 1: rumors are brewing. Ladies and gentlemen, they're brewing. Should I
- 43:15Speaker 1: say it?
- 43:17Speaker 2: I think I'm saying, yeah, go for it. I mean,
- 43:19Speaker 2: that's not us reporting. It's Pete.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Pete Nachos from on three made a post. I think
- 43:33Speaker 1: it's I think it's on the boards, so I may
- 43:36Speaker 1: not be should I probably should not say this just
- 43:40Speaker 1: out of respect of the people.
- 43:43Speaker 3: There's there. There are people who are saying, all right,
- 43:46Speaker 3: here we go.
- 43:47Speaker 2: There are people that are saying that our buckle's done
- 43:49Speaker 2: and it's been done. There are people I feel that
- 43:54Speaker 2: Joe C must have had himself conversation. And I know
- 43:56Speaker 2: we said this in our in our internal discord, but
- 44:00Speaker 2: but I feel like Joe C with this this whole
- 44:03Speaker 2: offenseve coordinator thing. I think they went to Sam Presty
- 44:07Speaker 2: and was like, hey, teach us your ways, because I
- 44:10Speaker 2: don't know if anybody has a freaking clue about what's
- 44:13Speaker 2: going on on this OC search like it's I've had
- 44:18Speaker 2: very very connected people and Jay you have two said
- 44:21Speaker 2: it's our buckle, it's done, it's it's here comes, here
- 44:23Speaker 2: comes the announcement. Now we still have people saying, I
- 44:26Speaker 2: like a different guy to o you credible people who
- 44:30Speaker 2: may have just said that to you that you just read.
- 44:34Speaker 1: So all right, I'll go in and say it screw it.
- 44:36Speaker 1: If I want to know it's on a live we'll say, hey,
- 44:38Speaker 1: we like we like seven hundred some people in here.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Was good y'all think y'all pulling up? It's kind of crazy.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Joe Krattick appears to be flying up the charts right now.
- 44:53Speaker 3: The two Lane OC.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Yeah, Pete Nachos just reported he likes Jill Cradick to
- 45:01Speaker 1: owe you. No, there's been announced officially that's what we're
- 45:07Speaker 1: waiting for. And I'm gonna we're kind of sticking around
- 45:12Speaker 1: and in theory stalling because the anticipation is an announcement's
- 45:19Speaker 1: gonna happen, probably while we are right here on the show.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Kradick has a top. You know what, we'll do this.
- 45:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up the numbers that our guy has
- 45:34Speaker 1: put together for us.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, I'll say this is I think that there's
- 45:43Speaker 2: been a lot of misdirection with this oc higher for
- 45:47Speaker 2: a lot of different reasons. And and I don't think
- 45:51Speaker 2: it's so that you know, screw you fans. We don't
- 45:53Speaker 2: want you to know anything. But it's hard to negotiate
- 45:57Speaker 2: like this when you're going after stuff or you're going
- 46:00Speaker 2: after Koltoneki or Kratach, any of these guys, because these
- 46:04Speaker 2: guys are using job opportunities to leverage other job opportunities.
- 46:09Speaker 2: And I think that there's been a conversation. There's been
- 46:11Speaker 2: a lot of conversation going on.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Now.
- 46:13Speaker 2: We saw Washington State's offense really just throw out a dud,
- 46:17Speaker 2: and a lot of people could say, well, that's you know,
- 46:19Speaker 2: the same reason why we beat Florida State in the
- 46:21Speaker 2: national championship in two thousand, you know is the whole
- 46:24Speaker 2: you know, well, your you're oc is on his way
- 46:27Speaker 2: out and he's distracted.
- 46:29Speaker 3: So there were a lot of them.
- 46:32Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a Washington State they had a
- 46:35Speaker 2: bad night. Well, so did Tulane on Friday? Was it
- 46:38Speaker 2: Friday night or Thursday night? Tulane goes out to Memphis
- 46:41Speaker 2: and they just kind of throw a little bit of
- 46:42Speaker 2: a stinker in there. So I just it's this, guys,
- 46:45Speaker 2: is we do not need a top ten offense in
- 46:48Speaker 2: the country. We don't need that. That's not what this
- 46:51Speaker 2: team needs. If you can put a top fifty offense
- 46:55Speaker 2: out here with the way our defense played this year,
- 46:59Speaker 2: there's a good chance better.
- 47:00Speaker 3: Next year the defense. So ou has narrowed it down
- 47:07Speaker 3: to three names.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Did we get a notification on something?
- 47:15Speaker 2: Wouldn't expect an imminent announcement, Okay, So I mean maybe
- 47:25Speaker 2: maybe the thing sits around here for a few days.
- 47:27Speaker 2: I don't know if we do know. Right here in
- 47:30Speaker 2: the middle of the in the middle of the show,
- 47:35Speaker 2: I just wanted to just want to make sure that
- 47:37Speaker 2: I'm not not reading stuff off of boards because again,
- 47:43Speaker 2: out of respect, oh you insider two four seven, and
- 47:46Speaker 2: sooner scoop like, I don't want to read stuff off
- 47:48Speaker 2: the boards like that's their bread and brother, that's their life,
- 47:51Speaker 2: that's you know, that's how they get paid to do
- 47:53Speaker 2: their jobs. But it seems like there's a lot going
- 47:56Speaker 2: on right now. There's a lot. There's there's names, and
- 48:02Speaker 2: there's there's.
- 48:03Speaker 3: Lots of names out there. I think that you're going to.
- 48:07Speaker 2: It says, you know, you got guys like Faulkner, Kratick, Arbuckle,
- 48:12Speaker 2: And then everybody keeps on saying the mystery man, that
- 48:18Speaker 2: is there somebody else out there that we are talking
- 48:23Speaker 2: to that nobody's thought of. Nobody knows what to do,
- 48:26Speaker 2: nobody knows what's going on. I mean, nobody has tied
- 48:30Speaker 2: that to him. So I just say this, it's it's
- 48:35Speaker 2: as an as an insider, this is this is a
- 48:38Speaker 2: tough one. This is this is being protected at the
- 48:41Speaker 2: highest highest ranks.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It is. Uh, let me see, let
- 48:49Speaker 1: me see if I can find a way to get
- 48:50Speaker 1: Jason and here he wants to come hang out with
- 48:53Speaker 1: us for a minute.
- 48:54Speaker 2: As we kind of wait, I did I did see
- 49:03Speaker 2: that somebody changed, somebody changed Ben Arbuckles Wikipedia to the
- 49:10Speaker 2: University of Oklahoma.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Oh see, yeah, I'm seeing that. Our buckles getting that too.
- 49:17Speaker 1: So the three names, Yeah, as he buster fault and
- 49:19Speaker 1: someone's put in here, we still got that. With the
- 49:21Speaker 1: Dan Mullen's mystery, He's potentially still a mystery in this.
- 49:24Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck is going on with
- 49:27Speaker 1: the Dan Mullen situation, mainly because we don't know what
- 49:30Speaker 1: the heck is going on with Dan Mullen. He is yeah,
- 49:37Speaker 1: all over the place, especially because none of us knows
- 49:42Speaker 1: what the ex actually happened with.
- 49:43Speaker 3: Him, and they did. They did misspelled university in the Wikipedia.
- 49:49Speaker 3: What was it?
- 49:50Speaker 2: Uh, you know untiversity? Yeah, maybe he works there, Yeah.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Untiverse. He's pretty funny.
- 50:05Speaker 3: But yeah, So no, there is no OC agreed upon yet.
- 50:10Speaker 1: We don't have anybody announced. There's nothing announced yet, but
- 50:13Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell y'all it's probably gonna be an announcement.
- 50:17Speaker 1: Hopefully it happens while we're here. We got about ten
- 50:20Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes as we're waiting for all of this
- 50:23Speaker 1: stuff to start dropping. They're the strategy is changing.
- 50:32Speaker 2: I'll say this, guys, this this staff knows every single
- 50:37Speaker 2: bit about what's going on. This staff knows the frustration.
- 50:43Speaker 2: You know, hey, listen, this is what they've done their
- 50:47Speaker 2: whole This is their whole lives is building this program
- 50:51Speaker 2: and to go out and you know, go into multiple
- 50:55Speaker 2: games to where you're like, we're not winning this one.
- 50:59Speaker 2: That that's not what any of these guys signed up for.
- 51:03Speaker 2: And like I said, sometimes it's it's just you just
- 51:05Speaker 2: get into a spot where you kind of go, well,
- 51:08Speaker 2: you know, we are going to have to you know,
- 51:13Speaker 2: get new people, new faces, new concepts, because, uh, you
- 51:18Speaker 2: can have good coaches who just they just you know,
- 51:23Speaker 2: it's just over for them. They need a new fresh start.
- 51:25Speaker 2: Maybe that happens, you know, that's why everybody enjoyed what
- 51:29Speaker 2: you know, the Saban Rehabilitation Project was. You know, he
- 51:32Speaker 2: brought all these coaches who I mean, look at Steve Sarkisian,
- 51:35Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian's guys probably you know, one bad choice away
- 51:39Speaker 2: from being out of college football and now he's you know,
- 51:43Speaker 2: the head coach of Texas and number one in the
- 51:48Speaker 2: SEC this year, first year in so there are a
- 51:51Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of there's a lot of
- 51:56Speaker 2: there's a lot of change that's going to happen, and
- 51:58Speaker 2: and and and this staff that people who are who
- 52:00Speaker 2: are sticking around venables is not going anywhere this year.
- 52:03Speaker 2: So if that's on your Bengo card, for get rid
- 52:05Speaker 2: of nibles that ain't happening. But they know they know,
- 52:08Speaker 2: I mean, he knows now that this decision is probably
- 52:11Speaker 2: going to be the dictation, uh, what will dictate his
- 52:15Speaker 2: tenure here at Oklahoma this this next time.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Brod Jason in here from Hall of Fame. What's going on, man,
- 52:20Speaker 1: Jason Elks evening, No problem, man, let you jump in
- 52:25Speaker 1: at the end of it. We got out. We ain't
- 52:26Speaker 1: got much, we ain't got much going on. We're waiting.
- 52:34Speaker 1: We're waiting. We're here on the uh head coaching watch.
- 52:38Speaker 1: We're here on the transfer de commit watch. Because Dick,
- 52:42Speaker 1: there's a lot of it, and you're seeing a lot
- 52:44Speaker 1: of players go up and down. And I mentioned it
- 52:46Speaker 1: earlier to everybody. I expect our class is probably gonna
- 52:52Speaker 1: stay about what it is. Well, we're gonna see some
- 52:56Speaker 1: people have to leave. We're gonna have to get down
- 52:58Speaker 1: one hundred and five. We have much choice. Uh. But
- 53:01Speaker 1: that's how you mentioned ped away to ped away over
- 53:08Speaker 1: to Aggie's.
- 53:08Speaker 4: Huh, yeah, I kind of you keep kind of hearing that,
- 53:13Speaker 4: and especially it makes a lot of sense.
- 53:15Speaker 5: I think somebody was talking about it that he's got
- 53:17Speaker 5: a cousin that's over there at A and M right now.
- 53:21Speaker 4: Him being from the area, I mean it's I don't know,
- 53:24Speaker 4: it's about one hundred miles I think from Houston something
- 53:27Speaker 4: roughly somewhere in that area. Yeah, definitely closer than Norman.
- 53:33Speaker 4: And they need they need receivers too, so it's it's
- 53:36Speaker 4: an issue that they've had there.
- 53:38Speaker 5: I don't know whatever happened with the guy here.
- 53:41Speaker 4: I really felt like ped Away was going to be
- 53:44Speaker 4: really good for us after what we saw for him
- 53:47Speaker 4: in the Tennessee game. So whatever happened, clearly there's something there,
- 53:53Speaker 4: something up there.
- 53:54Speaker 1: No, there is, there's going to be options for him.
- 53:56Speaker 1: He's one that he's good, you know, he's We're not
- 54:00Speaker 1: talking about a player that's bad. He he's a good one.
- 54:04Speaker 1: And it hurts to see him go top one hundred player,
- 54:07Speaker 1: you know. I didn't want to see him hit the
- 54:10Speaker 1: portal whill at the same time, I understood, uh. I
- 54:13Speaker 1: think one though that was also interesting to me was
- 54:15Speaker 1: that our boy Derek LeBlanc.
- 54:25Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ricardo's his his his pops is still big,
- 54:32Speaker 2: o' you guy. And and so I mean, if if
- 54:35Speaker 2: they would, you know, I think that that door opens
- 54:38Speaker 2: up if he you know, if the staff wants him.
- 54:41Speaker 3: Now is it?
- 54:44Speaker 2: Do you do you start making these big choices like
- 54:47Speaker 2: this yet, because I really, really, I really think that
- 54:51Speaker 2: you you know, you need to have these conversations with
- 54:55Speaker 2: you know, guys like you know, Dominic Williams, h our Mason.
- 55:00Speaker 2: You can't expect them for to have these decisions made
- 55:03Speaker 2: yet they just I mean they just literally finished playing
- 55:06Speaker 2: hours ago.
- 55:08Speaker 3: So but that's probably gonna be uh, you.
- 55:12Speaker 2: Know what your portal trans your portal and uh, you know,
- 55:15Speaker 2: recruiting tactics are for the defensive line.
- 55:18Speaker 3: You still need some bodies.
- 55:19Speaker 2: I think I'd like to be able to I'd like
- 55:21Speaker 2: to be able to go get another guy like a
- 55:23Speaker 2: DJ Terry, you know, somebody who is a big body
- 55:26Speaker 2: and a little bit of a plugger, because you know,
- 55:29Speaker 2: I like the upfield movements and I like the the
- 55:31Speaker 2: ability for Jaydon Jackson to to stay in there. But uh,
- 55:36Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean I think you need another you know, bigger,
- 55:40Speaker 2: bigger body, not just a quicker body is O tawny available?
- 55:49Speaker 3: Yeah? Hey listen and.
- 55:52Speaker 1: With that real quick, oh you might thank you so
- 55:55Speaker 1: much for the twenty bucks boomer sooner to you back.
- 55:57Speaker 1: We appreciate that sort well, horn shout out to you
- 56:00Speaker 1: for the nineteen ninety nine thank you for your first
- 56:02Speaker 1: super chat. We appreciate that. With the hippo dancing around,
- 56:06Speaker 1: we appreciate it. No but no, sorry, go back today,
- 56:09Speaker 1: Coop what you were about to jake to?
- 56:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, long story short listen.
- 56:14Speaker 2: I think that there's whether it's cratic, whether it's our buckle,
- 56:17Speaker 2: whether whoever ends up being there's so many different things
- 56:25Speaker 2: about each one of these guys that I think that
- 56:27Speaker 2: that are really great. I really do enjoy each one
- 56:31Speaker 2: of their offenses. It looks like they have an idea
- 56:33Speaker 2: and a plan and an identity, and you know, with
- 56:37Speaker 2: what we're kind of hoping for is that they bring
- 56:40Speaker 2: some allure and that people want to go play for
- 56:42Speaker 2: these systems because you're going to need some folks out
- 56:45Speaker 2: of the transfer portal on the skill position. I don't
- 56:48Speaker 2: know if you can really say that there is one
- 56:52Speaker 2: person wide receiver wise, if they all decided to come back,
- 56:57Speaker 2: is there any of them that you can truly count
- 56:59Speaker 2: on health wise. You know, frukes Foot has had this
- 57:02Speaker 2: thing multiple times. The Anderson family, they're just they're just
- 57:08Speaker 2: snake bitten and I hate it for them. But I
- 57:10Speaker 2: mean he has been he has been in and out
- 57:12Speaker 2: quite a bit. Jaden Gibson he had an injury that
- 57:15Speaker 2: it's not going to be just an absolute you know,
- 57:19Speaker 2: just they give it ten to twelve months, and he's
- 57:21Speaker 2: gonna be ready to rock, Like that's going to be
- 57:23Speaker 2: an injury.
- 57:23Speaker 3: That he's ready to take some time.
- 57:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna take some time to come back from Burks.
- 57:30Speaker 2: If he comes back, you know, i'd probably ask him
- 57:32Speaker 2: to you know, he's probably gonna have to renegotiate that
- 57:34Speaker 2: nil contract too. I think he was planning on being
- 57:37Speaker 2: in the NFL at this point, but man, it's you're
- 57:41Speaker 2: gonna have to go get some people. So can they
- 57:44Speaker 2: bring players with them? You know, can Kradick bring a mensa?
- 57:48Speaker 3: You know? Can Materir come this way? Also?
- 57:52Speaker 2: You know, quarterbacks wise, I would say that if I
- 57:56Speaker 2: had to bet on one guy to stay, it's Hawkins.
- 57:59Speaker 2: I think Jackson Arnold is one of those guys who
- 58:01Speaker 2: just needs a new atmosphere. But he made a comment
- 58:05Speaker 2: after the game last night that he doesn't see, you know,
- 58:08Speaker 2: any reason why he needs to leave.
- 58:11Speaker 3: So is it just good coaching.
- 58:16Speaker 2: We've seen really really, really bad performances and bad outputs
- 58:22Speaker 2: by quarterbacks who get a good coach and all of
- 58:24Speaker 2: a sudden the light turns on for them.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Uh, Jason, it's talk about the game
- 58:31Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, I'm waiting for the next
- 58:33Speaker 1: announcement to come down. It appears one maybe coming up
- 58:36Speaker 1: in the next couple of moments, but keep my eyes
- 58:37Speaker 1: open for that. But uh, I cheel about the game. Man.
- 58:43Speaker 5: Man, it's tough, right, you know.
- 58:44Speaker 4: I mean, I think you saw some breakdowns from the
- 58:46Speaker 4: defense a little bit, but it was more to me
- 58:50Speaker 4: it felt like they just went back to the old
- 58:53Speaker 4: attack instead of what they were doing against Alabama, which
- 58:57Speaker 4: I don't really understand. He feels like you would have
- 58:59Speaker 4: wanted to kind of and make somebody show that they
- 59:02Speaker 4: could stop what you were doing before. They did try
- 59:05Speaker 4: to run the ball, but it didn't seem like they
- 59:06Speaker 4: were doing it the same way. A lot of the
- 59:08Speaker 4: it wasn't a lot of the same formations, movement, all that,
- 59:15Speaker 4: all that stuff. It I think I said last night
- 59:17Speaker 4: on with K Chris and those guys that the first
- 59:20Speaker 4: thing that they told me was that.
- 59:24Speaker 5: It was pretty clear that.
- 59:25Speaker 4: Kevin John's fingerprints were definitely all over that game plan
- 59:29Speaker 4: for me from the Alabama game. So I just felt
- 59:33Speaker 4: like it was they went back to it for whatever reason.
- 59:36Speaker 4: I'm not sure why though, And I know a lot
- 59:38Speaker 4: of us had talked about, Yeah, you're gonna have to
- 59:40Speaker 4: throw the ball deep, and there was some openings for
- 59:41Speaker 4: them to throw the ball deep in this game, and
- 59:43Speaker 4: they just didn't really take those openings. So had it
- 59:47Speaker 4: not been for that, it felt like they might be
- 59:50Speaker 4: going to start leaning on them a little bit if
- 59:52Speaker 4: they hadn't given up that touchdown return, you know when
- 59:56Speaker 4: they took them.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and we would score and give up our first
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: return for a touchdown this season, like right behind it,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: right like just the luck.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: Hey you got.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: I mean, LSU could have half asked that and just
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: been okay with where they were.
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: Uh, they they were in it last night.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like their team was ready to
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: go and they were ready to play. And I mean,
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: whether it means getting shot up and you know, putting
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: your your your your immediate future on hold.
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: But did you guys?
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: Also see Kevin Concepcion, the big wide receiver from n
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: C State just hit the portal too nice. One hundred
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: and twenty four catches, sixteen hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: in his two seasons at NC State.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: Scott, thank you so much for the two bucks. We
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: appreciate it. And I l is the death of college football.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I disagree. I think it's the best part about it
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: now because now you're seeing a lot of what people want.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: It's parody. But you know, the funny thing is this
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: the thing I've learn about people when it comes to parody,
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: People don't actually want parody. They just want their team
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: to have the ability to be dominant. That's it. They
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: don't actually care about parody. They care about their own
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: team actually dominant them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they wanted as
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: long as it benefits them, they're happy. I like parody
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: all across the board because it means better football. That's
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: what I'm here for.
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like it's uh yeah, I don't know. Man,
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: to me, it's never first off, it's never been about parody.
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: I don't know how long.
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: It stays parody wise, because I think that the money
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: separation is about to really happen. This was the first
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: year that you have the big payments that were going
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: to the SEC and the Big ten. And next year you're, yes,
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: you're gonna have your you're going to have your profit
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: share or you know, the revenue share deal. But that
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: doesn't change anything when it comes to nil. So the
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: rich are going to continue to get richer. But I
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: think right now you do have an opportunity to see
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: some teams that you probably wouldn't have before kind of
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: make a move here. And by saying that, I say
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: probably like an ACC team or or possibly a Big
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: twelve team.
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: But although I don't see that.
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: Really right now, not this year anyway, But I don't
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: think that I think the NIO means parody today. It
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily be pardy going down, you know, going forward.
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: In fact, I think it goes further away from noth
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: than anything.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Nope, won't. It won't be long term. It's gonna be
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: for today. But like and one thing to remember, most
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: of this that's going down right now, this is gonna
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: be our last season of a lot of spending like
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: this is gonna be the all out super free agency
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: because starting next year, once first the house settlement House
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: versus the NCAA gets settled and they make a final
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: decision there, you're gonna see a lot of NIL collectives
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: get either dissolved or or it's gonna be like tapered down.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: So with that twenty million dollar cap, everybody's gonna have.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: That's it, and it's gonna stay like that until the
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: next TV deal hits. Then they're gonna be able to
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: up it again, just like they do in the NFL.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: And so you're not gonna be hearing about these schools
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: putting out twenty five to thirty million dollars. Everybody's gonna
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: put out twenty It's gonna be all about you just
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: paying paying for yours and we'll see who actually earns it.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: And probably every school's gonna institute a.
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: Like a to your system.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: You're system where it's gonna grow over over each year.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: And to be honest, I love it. That gives me
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: content to do, gives me stuff to talk about, fund
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: stuff to keep up with doll That's the best part
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: that's happening in this game. I know a lot of
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: y'all don't like it. Y'all don't like knowing because a
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: lot of y'all like control, So you like to know
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to you every day. I don't. I
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: love chaos, Give me chaos, but hey, conception own being
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: in the portal. Guys, Hey man, pick up the phone.
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: Hey, you should definitely make that phone call.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: That's the long call you make. Mainly because, like I
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: told y'all before, we're gonna lose people. Everybody's gonna lose people.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Everybody's gotta get down on one on five, baby eighty five, scholarship,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: one on five total. Everybody has to get down. We're
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: not the only ones. And so because of that, it
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: ain't gonna be that big of a deal as people
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: think it's gonna be pretty. It's gonna be when everybody
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: start losing players and then we all go in there.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: It's our shop for the people we won't. Don't be
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: surprised that this class looks nasty in the next two days.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. When this class looks different, I
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: want you to come in here and say, Jay, you're right.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: I did not realize what you was talking about. And
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you you're welcome.
- 1:04:49Speaker 5: You're welcome, You're well.
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: I mean, there's money out there, extra money to be
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: spent on Oklahoma players that are gonna be you know,
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: five or six like impact guys.
- 1:05:00Speaker 5: You know, conception On would kind of fit that bill, right.
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: I think that there's gonna be guys out there that
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: are gonna you're gonna have opportunity. You keep hearing about
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: guys like what's his name at USC the kick returner
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: Zach I just lost it.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I think about Patriots actually stood though.
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: I mean, and and it doesn't seem like he's been
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: overly happy with Lincoln and his and his it's really
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: good to get hit his role. I think that's that's
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: pretty good. So look, I think that there's opportunities out
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: there to go get some guys. I hope that they
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: keep some of these guys around it. It almost feels
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: like you're destined to see some of them, at least
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: some of them leave.
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: You know, we just already sea head away. But what
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: do you got?
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: More is gonna happen real quick? Jimmy five eleven? Is
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: he a slash side receiver slot? Yes, that's what conception
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: On is. He's one of those dudes that I mean,
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: Luthor Burton is five to ten. Just know that Luther
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Burton pretty beastly. It don't matter. Dude just finds a
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: way to get open and he makes catches, so that's
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: all that matters, right, Joe S. Thank you so much
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: for the four ninety nine. We appreciate the donation of
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: the channel. Thanks a bunch. Somebody else mentioned a pretty
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: good question in here. Hold a second, Yeah, I see
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: my college guy in here is dooming as usual, so
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: we'll just scroll right past that one. There was a
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: question in here that I tried to catch, but the
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: comments coming in, so thank you for pulling up at
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: the light up due to the channel subscribe rate review
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: give us five dominic Yeah, my boy Dominica hit up here. Well,
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: the OC higher automatically fixed the wide receiver room absolutely,
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: And I'm be honest, there's a good chance that whoever
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: comes in as OC probably gonna bring somebody with them
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: private quarterback, maybe some wide receivers too. And if they
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: bring in guys that had some numbers that get y'all excited,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: is there a reason to complain the reason to be upset?
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: And listen and I'll and I remain this way too.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Petaway is he just didn't progress. You saw Kareny, you
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: saw kearnye and carry on, play Reagan's play, Ragon's whatever
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: we want to say. You saw those guys, Regen Reagan, Reagan, Reagan.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: So you saw all these guys come in. And it's hard.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: Once again, it's hard when you when when you're going
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: to try to determine where a problem is.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: If you have a car issue.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: You're I mean, like, if the car is not starting,
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: you're not going to go to the back and check
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: out the tailpipe, right, Like you at least have an
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: idea that the car is not starting. But like if
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: the whole damn thing is just gone, there's so many
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: places to try to find out, like where do you start?
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: And I think this wide receiver room listen, no, he
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: cannot fix health. Now, can the guy go get somebody?
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: Bring somebody in?
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: Sure?
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: But I don't think that the wide receiver room was
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: necessarily broken. I think that they were all extremely young.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: There were guys running wide open multiple times a game,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: and the quarterbacks were just not hit him.
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: I think that the issues wide receiver room being an
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: issue that that that's just silly to me, because you
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: got your top six guys out.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Every single one of those guys are still there. They
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: still want you know, they were there on the sideline,
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: they were there, you know, with the team. And so
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: I don't think that that's a situation where that's fair
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: to say that. Like, you know, I've seen people taking
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: shots at EJ, like your top six receivers. Like you
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: saw teams not do very well with their top receiver out.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: You know, you saw Ole Miss not do well with
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: their top receiver out. You saw other teams with top
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: receivers you know, out of the game. And it severely,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: I mean, it just inhibits everything about it. Plus you're
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: throwing the shitty offensive play calling schemes and then your
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: quarterback can't throw the ball, and then your offensive line
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: sucks too. So like there's no time to throw the
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: wide receivers, the quarterback won't do it. How's it their
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: fault now? Is raggings out? You know, as a lead
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: blocker on a tight end screen a good idea. Never
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: not once, not this year, not when he's as senior.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: He's not a Dion Burks, sure, but Dan can squat
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: four hundred and pounds, So you know, I I just
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: say this is you know, the wide receiver room being
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: broken had an injury situation to do with it, not
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: so much coaching.
- 1:09:37Speaker 4: So and I want to ask this question, does this
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like it's a signal right here
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: with all these guys that are leaving that it may
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: be that EJ's out the door?
- 1:09:47Speaker 5: Is that? I mean, if they've if they've indeed decided
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: on somebody.
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: It almost feels like EJ might be gone because both
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: of his guys that you know, his top guys are
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: in the portal as we know, Harris and.
- 1:10:01Speaker 5: Cortess, well that commits.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: They're not commits. They're not they're not in a portal.
- 1:10:07Speaker 5: But I mean he commits. Sorry yeahah yeah.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Harris is decommitted. Meals so far hasn't, which is really weird.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out why he hasn't flipped. While
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: that's not done, it probably will eventually. But no, I
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: I mean, we still got many choice, which I like,
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: and we still got Elijah Thomas, which I think is
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: the best one receiver in the class. I think Elijah's
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: the best one in the class. I don't think EJ
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: is gone. I don't think EJ has any type of
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: chance of leaving. EJ had uh. EJ lucked out with five.
- 1:10:39Speaker 5: Dudes heard case.
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: So I was asking, if that's what you're doing, because
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: it almost felt that way when you got two of
- 1:10:45Speaker 4: the guys that he's been really pushing for.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, I expected those two to de commit.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: That was actually they were on my Bengal card to
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: be gone. To be absolutely honest, I actually expected those
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: two because that's all meals. When he went to Nebraska
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: the first time, I was like, yeah, I think Meals
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: is gonna end up bouncing. Uh. He said he was
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: locked in, but I knew that Nebraska was pushing for
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: him because their wide receiver room with Riola has not
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: been good, and it's they need to get not only
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: some recruits, but they also need to get some transfers.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: So I expect Nebraska to spend with getting Meals in
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: and if they can get Marcus Harris to follow them,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: they are boys. They probably may try to do it
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: at the two man package. I don't know though, Deve
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: marks Harri's go go somewhere else, but I know many
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: Choice and Elijah Thomas are the two that I care about.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: And then Grace. Grace and Harris who plays baseball. He's
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: too sport you So I don't think he's gone at all.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: He's gonna play baseball here as well as football, and
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: if if football doesn't work out, he's gonna play baseball time.
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: Not this earlier too on coach Ricks.
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: So the thought was like, why would you do that
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: whenever there's only maybe one guy that's been getting better receivers?
- 1:11:51Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: I mean if and that that goes by what you know,
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: the rankings are and stuff like that at Ohio State.
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: But aside from that, who's who's out recruiting this guy?
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: I mean it's You're right, it's heartline and it's him now.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: I also, I also say this is if Nebraska, if
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: the numbers are kind of getting tossed around with what
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Nebraska is going to be pitching at Cortez Mills, like
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: that's he can change his family's life like right now.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: And you know, so we can still go after guys like,
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: you know, go kick the tires on Andrew Marsh again,
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: or you know, go after and say, hey, Concepcion, what
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: are we looking at here?
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: You got two seasons left to play? What are you
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: hoping for.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: You know, Also, like I said, it's not that I
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: don't expect to see zero of these wide receivers hurt.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: And I saw some say that nobody has or EJ
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: hasn't developed anything. Remember going into last season that we
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: thought Gavin Freeman was going to be, uh, Gavin Freeman, Jillifruke,
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: we're going to be our two best wide receivers. And
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: then Nick Nick Anderson obviously pretty good. You're right, double
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: digit touchdowns was uh, you know, looked look to be
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: the part, andrel Anthony before the Texas game on the
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: way to a thousand yards a thousand yards you know,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: he's projected projecting a thousand yard receiving until he gets
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: hurt versus Texas. So yeah, EJ has developed, you can't.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: But again it's you got to give him some time.
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: With a guy like you know, with a guy like
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: carry on, carry on, this guy who's going to need
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: he needs work on his body. He needs to work
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: on his body because he's just been able to outsize
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: everybody in high school. Well he's now been out of
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: high school for less than a year, so let's give
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: him a little bit more time. And they're not supposed
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: to be expected to, you know, do much this year anyway.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: So I mean, just EJ has He's he's done a
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: great job. He's done a great job recruiting. Now Cortez
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: gets paid triple what he's getting paid here. He's going
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: to go to Nebraska and stuff about Harris, you know,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: it sounds like it might have been mutual.
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: So real quick, and and i'm you as they're talking
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: about that Texas has out recruited him.
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: They no, they haven't. They've done better in the portal.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: But the guy, the big.
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: Guys that they've gotten, which one of them is really
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: like stepping I mean, they got the guy from this year,
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: but they've lost they've already lost some other guys. So
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: to me, I'm just saying, I'm not saying that he's
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: definitely the best guy out there period for wide receivers
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: or whatever. But I'm just saying he's right up there
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: with If there's one guy that you know that you're
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: going to probably right above him, it's the guy at
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: Ohio State. As far as the Texas guys, they've been
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: mostly doing out of the portal. That's what that's what
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: har does. You know, he didn't return hardly any production
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: from last year. He went and got a bunch.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: Of guys, four portal guys, and you can do that
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: with wide receivers. Wide receivers can bring in the heck,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: I'm looking at what Prime did over there at Colorado.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: He brings in le Johntay Wester, who has been a beast,
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: and Will Sheppard, who's done really well for them as
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: a third or fourth wide receiver option. All you got
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: to do is have a quarterback this woman throw him
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: the ball. And that's why we're getting an offensive coordinator
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: who will do that for us. You can't expect these
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: freshmen to walk out there and do all the work
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: by themselves. That's where we ran into our biggest problem.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: You had Brendon Thompson, who was still younger, coming back fighting,
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: coming off of injuries, and you know he was able
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: to get some going, but you also was dealing with
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: with all the other injuries down the line. Now we have,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: like I said, we have six guys basically out You
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: were asking freshmen to do all of this. You know
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: why Ryan Williams can do what he does. Not only
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: he's an absurd athlete, but he also has starting grade
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: wide receivers around him. Makes it easier for freshmen to
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: go out there and just be themselves instead of trying
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: to be that structured guy of you know, not of
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: being everything. Ryan became everything because he was able to
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: just freelance a lot of it. But you still have
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: to respect the other guys. We ain't had that with
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: a bunch of young dudes who's still trying to figure
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: it out. They're just trying to learn to play book.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: They're just trying to understand their assignments. They're trying to
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: make sure that they get in space. May should they
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: block properly? Ain't bad. I know that EJ has been
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: training them up. But EJ also thought he was gonna
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: have three dudes over sixty four playing on a regular
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: basis with a five to ten dude that's fast and
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: be good. And that's that's not even including for Rooke.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: That was just me including Dick. You know, GiB You're
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: probably gonna see more JJ Hester because he whenever they
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: throw it to him deep, he seems to catch it.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: He's caught a fifty and a sixty yarder, then he
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: caught an eighty yard It was that eighty.
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: Or ninety ninety.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: Ninety an eight ninety yarder. So it's funny I put
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: it this way. A lot of people when they are
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: wondering about a lot of the starters on this team,
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: don't promise you good promise you. We're losing depth, which
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: is because we're gonna have to lose it anyway, because
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: we need to get down in the numbers. We're not
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: gonna have enough seniors leaving this season. The one room
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: we can afford it, why receiver right now, those are
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: just gotta get healthy in a full year. So next
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: next spring will know. And the good thing is, you
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: got a second portal coming up anyway, So when the
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: portal hits now, you'll probably see us go grab some people,
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: spend some money, get some big players. And when we
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: do that, please make sure you come in here and
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: thank me for it, for reminding you out of that
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: was gonna happen.
- 1:17:17Speaker 5: You're welcome.
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: So but no, and also the people that are saying
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: that they're not out there developing this talent or whatever.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: Does nobody remember what Jadon Gibson was doing at the
- 1:17:32Speaker 4: start of last year, Like during the spring game, he
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: couldn't catch a cold. By the end of the season.
- 1:17:38Speaker 4: The dude was in Alpha mal.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Breakout thirteen catches, yeah, catch it, yeah, touchdown that it
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: was Nick six as well, because people didn't believen Nick either.
- 1:17:50Speaker 5: Initially, I don't know it.
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: Year before, nobody really knew about him. Nobody was really
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: talking about him. They were mad because they thought that
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: he was the one that wrote the rap that got
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: Cale Gundy fired, you know what I mean or whatever.
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: So and then all of a sudden he goes out
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: and leads the team in touchdowns.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: Right, yeah, And I also think, yeah, Andrea Anthony did
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: come from Michigan until somebody said that, but Andrew Anthony
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: also had like ten catches maybe not even that at Michigan,
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: and then he came here and working with EJ, he
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: turned into the number one wide receiver.
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: So yeah, you got hurt. Right.
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: It's like I said, I've said this, like, do I
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: like this season?
- 1:18:36Speaker 5: No?
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: I hate every single bit about this season. But I
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: think that when when we look back on this, hopefully
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: you go, well, listen, if all those guys are here,
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: we struggle through a piss poor offensive scheme all year long,
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: wondering what's wrong with our offensive line? What's wrong on
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: with their quarterback and we may not make an offensive
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: coordinator change this year because I think that Seth does
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: good enough with all those wide receivers healthy. I think
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: he does good enough to still be here. And so
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: you know, maybe that is a blessing in disguise, because
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: that's one thing that when you can't couldn't you scheme
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: yourself out of a shoe box? Then yeah, that's now
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: that's pretty telling and you need a balance, and especially
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: seeing what Joe John Finley has done, because Joe John's
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: never called plays correct and he's doing a decent job
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: at it now. Still players still got.
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: To do it.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: And I don't say he's doing and I didn't say
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: he's doing a fantastic job where he is, you know,
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: should be looked at as the OC going forward or
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: anything like that. I just think this is I mean,
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: he did pretty well for his for what he had
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: to work with in his first time calling plays coming
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: in after that, and that's another thing with these wide receivers.
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: You had two different schemes going in the same year
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: as your freshman year, so you're still trying to figure
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: out where your class is, you know, for third hour
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: and trying to figure the playbook out and trying to
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: realize that, you know, what I expected to, you know,
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: maybe get ten snaps, fifteen snaps a game, and nope,
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: you're running sixty five.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: Right, So okay, we've been going for about one Uh,
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: we're waiting on this oc higher. I know it's done.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: That's when we're waiting for them to get the official announcement.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: And y'all know me on here, I don't announce things
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: if it's not announced by the official people. First. I
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: love that. This is my favorite thing about this young
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: gentleman right here. We're gonna we're gonna look at this
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: tweet real quick. I want the people to see this
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: from our defensive line. Commit Ye'll see that that's a lock.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: My man's locked in, Trim Wilson's locked in. That's all
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: that matters. All right, Well, once we get an announcement,
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Why are we taking so
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: long to get this done? Why somebody that we jump
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: off of here, they're gonna be like, the article's gonna
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: go up.
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: That's right, that's right. Let's see. I'm refreshing every two
- 1:21:23Speaker 5: seconds myself there. Jay.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all doing doing it like NonStop. Just waiting
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: for just something official to populate.
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: Because and again just.
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: So that everybody knows nothing has been announced. I from
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: from what it sounds like is this entire OC search
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: has been shrouded in such mystery that it's anybody who
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: is saying that it's it's a done, done deal until
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: you see it from the university, it doesn't feel like
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: it's a done, done deal, especially with other college Again,
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: it's not like we're having conversations with these guys and
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: we're just not liking So it's like trying to pick
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: out which these guys are being talked to by multiple
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: different universities. Also, I think that with our buckle, you know,
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: there was a lot of people you know from Utah
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: talking with him. You know, Cradick was being you know,
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: was tied to the Florida State job until gusmells On
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: just up and bows out as a head coach and says,
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: I'll come be a OC.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it's it's it's it's a mystery. Is
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: it done, done done? I was heard that it was
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: done undone, but then.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: Yeah, Mason, thanks for the one. We were told it
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: was done, done done. We're just waiting for them to
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: tell us who it is. But wait, you heard it
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: dun dundune. I heard with doun doun done.
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: It undone, So.
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: It looks like it is now.
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: I also got to wait for him announce it.
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Yeah, there's you know, the staff knows that they have
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: to have somebody in here a s a p like
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: and this is probably the last free day that they
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: have if.
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: If it has to be by tomorrow, doesn't it No, I'd.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: Say tuesdays the latest. And I say tuesdays the latest
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: because that's when you really need to make sure that
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: you're wrapping up your your recruiting class for Wednesday signing.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: Because that's the one thing that we do here is
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: that when bb wants if you're going to commit here,
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: they want everybody signed at the early. That way they're
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: doing no more recruiting and they can focus on ball
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: for the entire you know, you know, spring side of things.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: And they want to they want to get as many
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: people in as early and roly as possible for one reason,
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: one reason only. They want them to be able to
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: play potentially beginning of season. Now, you don't want a
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: whole bunch of young dudes, but it's a way no
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: team in college football. Likes going out there with all
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: freshmen anywhere. You want to have a mixture of experience
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: with youth that have played because this game moves fast,
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: and it moves much faster depending on your conference. Big T,
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: an SEC. They move really fast and you're dealing with
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: a lot of big dudes, So you gotta go. So
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: to me, I honestly, I'm gonna give you all my
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: last prediction on this one. I am really thinking. I'm
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: thinking between Kraddock and one name that's been floating around
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: on the internet has been Buster faulkner O. See over
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: there at Georgia Tech. Now, I don't know what offense
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: Buster would rub it. I know he wants to pass
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: the ball a lot more, but he's kind of limited because.
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: They don't let him do it. Georgia Tech.
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: Lyne, the head coach, is an old line guy, right,
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: so he just wants to pound the rock.
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: And we saw we saw Haynes.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: King, So that's what I mean, and that's what I'm saying.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: He's stuck at Georgia Te. So it's not like he
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: can throw like he wants to, but he wants to throw.
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: I want I want an oc who is going to
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: be able.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: To strengthen or go to the strength of the quarterback,
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: not only just be your pure scheme. You got to
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: be a system guy. Like let's let's see some ability
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: to change. You know, when you saw Alabama go from
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts to Tua, their whole entire offense just changed,
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: you know, they went to a completely different offense. And
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: you have to have the capability to do that. But
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: if you have the capability of changing your scheme around
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: the quarterback, that means you probably have a good idea
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: about how to do your job. And like I said earlier,
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: we don't need a top ten offense, and it would
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: it be fun, Yeah, it would be fun. Sure, I
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: think we need a top fifty offense.
- 1:25:52Speaker 4: It almost it almost feels like the if you're top twenty,
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: top fifteen, top ten. It almost goes against playing complimentary football,
- 1:26:03Speaker 4: you know what I mean, You're just too many explos
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: It's either feast or famine all the time, and so
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: and doesn't take very long, you know either way.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I mentioning here, we've got to fix the injuries,
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: and I think that's just put everybody in don't play football.
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: Run the football.
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I love Faulkner. I would when I was
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: watching that last night. You know again, when Lincoln first
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: came here, Lincoln Riley was a pure air raid guy,
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: and Bob Stops told him, well, listen, we will run
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: the ball, and so whatever you need to do to
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: get that figured out, let's make it happen.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: It also didn't hurt that your two running backs are
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: smaj p Ryan and Joe Mixon. Mixon, you know, two
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: guys who are playing in the NFL. Hey, I may
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: have said this on your show, Jason, who had Sma
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: p Ryan being a third down pass receiving and blocking
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: running back in the NFL. Any of us think that
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: that was going to be his role in the NFL
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: long term.
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: I don't think anybody. And I think if they say
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: they were, they.
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: Were lying there. You said on the throne of lines.
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: Now, I just listen, if you if you bring Falkner in, yeah,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: that offense not gonna look like that Georgia Tech offense.
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: But at the same time, he schemed up stuff. And
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: that's that's what we've been missing, is when you are
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: not a good offense coordinator, you cannot scheme things up
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: throughout the game. To get somebody open. You know when
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: whenever they say you got to get uh Luther Burden
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: involved in here, you've got to get Kyraen Lacy involved
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: in here. You got to get you know, Williams the
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: ball here. You can scheme something up from it. It
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: literally looks like I would not be surprised if they're
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: looking through the you know, looking through the play sheets
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: trying to figure out what would we run right now,
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: and you don't know how much six and again, you
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: get into a rhythm with offense, you can you can
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: build a bit more exploratory, but if you can't get
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: in a rhythm with your offense, then there's no chance.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: You can't build off of plays. You can't set up plays,
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: you can't do any of that stuff.
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: And that's the point is you have to build to
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: these if you if you need to get a receiver involved,
- 1:28:15Speaker 4: or you need to get this guy or that guy involved,
- 1:28:17Speaker 4: you have to build too that. You don't just say, okay,
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: well we're gonna run a play for this guy. You
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: got to make it look like something else you've done
- 1:28:24Speaker 4: in order to scheme him open. And that's not what
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: we've seen this year, right We just haven't seen a
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: lot of building off of a foundation of your place.
- 1:28:33Speaker 4: It looks different a lot of times.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, it's really about it's really about scheming
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: the guys open into spaces to where you can let
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: them go to work. That's really what you want and
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: you gotta get It's all about creativity and it depends
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: on the OC who's willing to be creative to do it,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: make it happen. And I think that that's where we
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: probably need to start looking at, looking at someone that
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: can do that.
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: I like Cratic Tool too.
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about a guy that they put
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: up a ton of points, a ton of points. You know,
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: they were averaging over forty points, and they run the football,
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: not afraid to run the football. They're more pro style
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: than anything else. I like critic a lot. I still
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: like I think if we were, if they I love it,
- 1:29:17Speaker 4: If they what's been going around that there could still
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: be some kind of contact going on with Mullen that
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: might be helpful. I mean, we're talking about it. You
- 1:29:29Speaker 4: want a guy that can develop quarterbacks.
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: There he is there?
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: You go, yeah, so yeah, it looks like it looks
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: like I just saw the Rivals guy for Utah saying
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: anything's arbuckle. It is heavily leaning in on Utah.
- 1:29:50Speaker 5: Yeah, you keep hearing it. It's been going on for
- 1:29:52Speaker 5: two days.
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: It's the word for the last couple of days that
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: it's been a lot of a lot of a lot
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: of our buckle talk with him.
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: But guys, I will say this is you know, when
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: it comes time to what we do here or you know,
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: you know the paid sites with Parker and Josh and
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: Colin Kennedy, you don't want to ever, you know, we
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: all want to know what.
- 1:30:22Speaker 3: The news is. For me, just I like to know
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: what the truth is. Like That's that's it is.
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: I like to know the truth, and you know, I
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: want to be able to have it, have it sooner
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: that way I can quell certain you know, conversations and stuff.
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: It's this thing has until they announce it, it's not done.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: And so you know, I know that Matt Blackwell had
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: posted that, you know, he thought Dan Mullen was a
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: done deal and then he thought our buckle was a
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: done deal. We will I don't know if we will
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: ever fully know the what what has all happened? You
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: know in this OC search. We know that this thing's
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: been going on for weeks. We know that conversation has
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: been going on for weeks. We know that representatives were
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: showing up, you know, the week after Seth was fired.
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: Yep, we have no idea and I'm not going to
- 1:31:11Speaker 3: break anything.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: Even if somebody texts me right now and says, hey,
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: it is Dan Mullen.
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: I'm not going to be that person. Now. I'll tell
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: you who I think it's going to be.
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: But I don't speak in definitives around here, especially when
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: it comes time to college football, because a phone call
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: in a bigger check can change folks minds pretty quickly.
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's not wrong.
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're all going to get out of here.
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: It doesn't look like any of this stuff is going
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: to a drop. Supposedly airplanes have been flying around. I
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: think it's funny people say Emmy Jones is gone. That's
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: absolutely not what's going to happen. But yeah, right, Dominic,
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: tell them we played Michigan next year. Why will we
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: want to have Ryan Day here when we play Michigan
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: curally next season? You want to put that in You
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: want to put that badness in our space, right like
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: you want to put that out.
- 1:32:07Speaker 4: There no right they have to fire him right four
- 1:32:10Speaker 4: times in a row, losing to him.
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: He beats everybody else though, That's where your problem was.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: But that's like, that's like, uh, you know us in
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: the Big twelve is there's.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: A reason why mac Brown didn't get fired at Texas
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: with all of his wins but still could not be stoops.
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: He ended up winning Natties, so whin ain't natty? So
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: they're not gonna fire that. Man, They're not too many
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: too win seasons.
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: Okay, guys, give give me your give me predictions. Who
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: if you had to place money? Who you who you betting?
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: Ooc Is Crodick.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm gonna throw a wild car. I'm gonna
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: say Fulkner. I think that he may end up being
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: the wildcore art that come up gonna pick buster. I
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna buster will Oh wow, oh my god, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now,
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: this is huge. This isn't oh you related, but this
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: is freaking huge. I hate you shit, y'all ready brace yourself.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: This is huge. Oh Micah Hudson has hit the portal?
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: You know, five star? This is oh you related? Because
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: EJ is the one that freaking got him to go.
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: There was it three.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Years up to eligibility. He's a five star plus twenty
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: twenty four. Wow, I I this was not on my
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: Bengo card. B Oahoma was on that list. A twey
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Texas Texas A and m Oklahoma Okhoma was
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: on his list.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: I that I would say, this guys is money got
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: him to Texas Tech instead of Texas. As a class
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: of wide receivers coming in, I did not expect all
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: of those guys to actually end up being five star
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: caliber wide receivers. But at the same time, like you know,
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: he was a Texas guy until the check. So I
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: wonder if the check bounced.
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: Or or or somebody else is trying to get that
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: boy to show up. All I know is that's bananas.
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: That's bananas. But answer some quick questions. I got questions,
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: jump them in here. This is this is I don't
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: think I'll understand the significance of this decommitment because Tech
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: had a solid season, a good rebound season, but this
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: kid everybody wanted. We were heavily in and no Emma
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: Jones was heavily in on them. So if we're what happens.
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: Maybe we pick up the call, pick up the phone.
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: I don't know, just know that that's freaking huge.
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: He had eight catches for one hundred and twenty three
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: yards and no touchdowns this year, right, but they're leading
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: their leading receiver eighty nine catches one thousand and twenty
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: three yards.
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: So I mean it.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: Were literally just.
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: It's not easy to come in as a freshman wide receiver.
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: This is a five star, highly highly highly sought after
- 1:35:35Speaker 3: a wide receiver. It is not easy to come in
- 1:35:38Speaker 3: and produce as a freshman wide receiver.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: At all.
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: And I mean EJ EJ was a big, big reason
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: why he went to Texas Tech. There's no two ways
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: around it. And this is the reason why Joey McGuire
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: was pissed off that he lost DJ.
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: That is, yeah, he was not very happy.
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: They had to dump a big old bag on him
- 1:36:02Speaker 4: to keep him.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Oh, that's a good question in here from
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: Zoe Fix. Zoe Fix. Yeah, is this why Harris decommitted?
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is.
- 1:36:20Speaker 5: Interesting, Right, that's a good question.
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: That's a very good question. I don't know, but it
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: is interesting. All I gotta say is stuff's about to
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: get stupid over the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: And you know that I'm gonna be sitting here talking
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: about all of it. We're gonna be here, We're gonna
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: be We're gonna be recorded and talking through it. But
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: it does seem like a lot of the recruits are
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: finding out about, you know, their counterparts, deciding to leave
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: or not. And Jimmy mentioned he was once committed to Oh,
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: you did not know that. Don't recall that. But it's possibility.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: I'm saying you're wrong, Jimmy, but I did not know that.
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: It's not one that I knew.
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: I think you're thinking of a different Hudson.
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: Was there another Hudson that was committed Oklahoma at one point?
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: Yeah, let me go two four seven sight two four
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: seven keeps up with the timeline of commitments and stuff.
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: Let me see, I don't see an Oklahoma commitment on here.
- 1:37:25Speaker 5: I don't think he went. I don't think he was
- 1:37:26Speaker 5: committed on you.
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: No.
- 1:37:29Speaker 4: I think that there was talk after after they hired
- 1:37:31Speaker 4: EJ that he might move and that's when they dumped
- 1:37:34Speaker 4: that huge bag on him. He was still he was
- 1:37:36Speaker 4: still committed though to Texas at that point.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: Jordan Hudson.
- 1:37:43Speaker 5: Hudson the other one.
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah right, I think so, yeah, let me go
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: look him up. Yeah, I don't think receiver.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: Yeah he said.
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: He said, he said it, he said he realizes it.
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, yeah, that's who it was. Yeah, guys,
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: we were asked this question. Yeah, bowl game, bowl game, Uh,
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: bowl game wise. Uh no, we're not gonna play USC.
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: So I think that get that idea of y'alls heads.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: There's very low chance that they'll they'll combine us because
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: the USC would have to accept and I really doubt
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: that he would accept it at all. So I would
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: go ahead and just say no, that's not gonna happen.
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: But I do think Frisco Bowl, Frisco Bowl, Gaspirillia Bowl
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: out in Tampa. They'll probably trying to keep it close
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: because they can they to travel wise, so Frisco Bowl
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: might be it. I don't really care. I want to practice.
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: I don't care who we play. Uh Thomas, No, RSJ
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: isn't portaling. I've actually talked to some folks that are
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: close with the Safety room. Don't worry about that. I
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: would like to stay online until the new OC is confirmed,
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: but that might not be for pabola. That may not
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: be the rest of the day tomorrow. Pull sleepover, go
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: sleep with them, go sleep with the stream going. Yeah,
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: that would be actually fun. I've never done it twenty
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: four hours stream and honestly, I don't have any interest
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: in it. That just sounds exhausting. But I think that
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: Micah Hudson News was freaking stupid.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: That's just that I don't I don't understand why you
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: guys like listening to us for like forty five minutes,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: much less like hours.
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: Right. I do appreciate the ally. I love every single
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: one of y'all because y'all are amazing for coming in
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: and hanging out. We got fourteen hundred people total, with
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: one hundred eight hundred on the mainstream, one hundred and
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: four on Sooner or later on the recruiting site, five
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: hundred on X that's bananas. H Kelly, No, EJ's not
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: going anywhere. I think AJ is good. I think he's
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: the one that's probably the safest out of anybody.
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: WOOLLYE. Korn contention, you gotta you got a super.
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: We gotta go to oh Jamison nice? When is Willy
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: corn in contention? He was mentioned after Levy left. What
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: I have not I have not heard Willy Corn's name
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: mentioned anywhere like at all if I haven't heard.
- 1:40:12Speaker 4: Him from North Carolina, right, I keep hearing him about
- 1:40:15Speaker 4: North Carolina job, although I think some Row number one there.
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: That Oh so, now that you mentioned that, Jason, that
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: means we need to go ahead and keep going. Gosh, darn,
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna shut this down. If the
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: North Carolina job is open, you see F job, it's
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: also open. Purdue just opened. I don't think anyone of
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: importance takes Purdue, But why wouldn't some erre all take
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: the job in North Carolina? Which means his OC could
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: potentially not follow, and that means he could probably take
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: another job. Have we seen anything as far as the UNC.
- 1:40:59Speaker 5: I heard earlier.
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: I heard earlier today that it was that they were
- 1:41:04Speaker 4: zeroing in on Summrow at North Carolina. But I've also
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: heard because UCF appears to be right up there as
- 1:41:13Speaker 4: well as like which one is the best job?
- 1:41:15Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah blah.
- 1:41:18Speaker 4: But it sounded like, you know, they were taking Carolina
- 1:41:21Speaker 4: off that board because it sounds like Summrow. And that
- 1:41:24Speaker 4: was the first person that anybody really brought up with
- 1:41:26Speaker 4: Sumrow for that job for whatever reason.
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: That's an interesting one.
- 1:41:33Speaker 5: I think he's a hell of a coach man. He's
- 1:41:34Speaker 5: a hell of a coach.
- 1:41:36Speaker 4: He was heeling it at Troy and he's killed it
- 1:41:40Speaker 4: at Tulane. I mean they lost to Memphis, but he's
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: looked really good.
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I say Willie Korn would pitchtentially get that job
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: as OC at NC with I agree. But if Chad
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: Chadwell takes that job now, Ray, I love the idea
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: of old Mangino making his return. That's funny. I've said
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: that numerous times. I've been joking about Menino.
- 1:42:05Speaker 4: With him and Kevin Wilson again, you know, but with Kevin,
- 1:42:08Speaker 4: you know, he lost the job at Tulsa, so I
- 1:42:10Speaker 4: guess it could happen. It feels like they're not his
- 1:42:13Speaker 4: buddy buddy between him and him and BV.
- 1:42:18Speaker 5: Though I don't know Tom Herman, the U c F
- 1:42:26Speaker 5: is funny. I don't see it.
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: Tom Herman and U c F. That's probably what's gonna happen,
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: even though he just got fired. It's crazy.
- 1:42:33Speaker 4: He just got fired from Yeah, I know, and I
- 1:42:36Speaker 4: think that another guy that should be coming up there
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: really isn't is South Florida coach? What's the guy that's
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: like went toe to toe with Alabama the last two years?
- 1:42:49Speaker 4: Damn it helped me with the name. Guys, I'm surprised
- 1:42:54Speaker 4: that he hasn't been a hot coming out of the year,
- 1:42:56Speaker 4: you know, to get a head coaching job at a
- 1:42:58Speaker 4: power fire.
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: Hey, I'll say.
- 1:43:01Speaker 4: This, the South Florida the Bulls coach South Florida.
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: Alexis he coached at Tennessee with the hypelon him. Yeah,
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: that's right, what you gonna think.
- 1:43:13Speaker 3: I was gonna say.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: You know, also, watch out for that South Florida. I
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: mean maybe Halsley gets that, uh you know, maybe he
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: takes the OC job out there, you know, just leaving
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: from that down in that area.
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. Uh sooner than I went eight any
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: time on on the OC announcement, No, BV said a
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: couple of days it could happen now, which we think
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: it was going to happen now with the day, it's
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: only makes sense. This is like the logical day to
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: do it. But we ain't seen anything yet so.
- 1:43:44Speaker 5: Well, And I heard Travis talking about it.
- 1:43:46Speaker 4: Travis Davidson earlier was saying he tweeted about it that
- 1:43:48Speaker 4: it needed to happen today, you know, so it almost
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: felt like it was, you know, did he know something
- 1:43:54Speaker 4: or was he just saying, you know, hey, I.
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: Would I would say that it needs to happen tomorrow
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: or tuesday, Antony.
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: Yeah, because you have to ask to be tuesday at
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: the latest, because signing day is Wednesday, and you want
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: to whoever you bring in, you want to make sure
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: they at least communicate with your recruits, and then you
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: want to also start working on your your current roster
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: and preparing for the transfer portal and start bringing people in.
- 1:44:19Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that I think you're right. I
- 1:44:22Speaker 4: think that's clear. But it's when you start looking at it,
- 1:44:26Speaker 4: they may have already made that decision. Because of the
- 1:44:28Speaker 4: fact that you're starting to see so much movement all
- 1:44:30Speaker 4: of a sudden, it feels like the players probably know.
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody knows something. I know that much.
- 1:44:39Speaker 4: They could all be surprise candidates, we could all be
- 1:44:42Speaker 4: completely off.
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that that's what they're doing. They're
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: playing a very much a shell game, and it's you
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: don't know who the heck who the option truly is.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: Jonathan asks a good question. Can you explain the difference
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: in signing day and national letter up intent this year?
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: So what happens is, but because the national letter of
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: intent piece is gone, instead, the players will sign financial
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: agreements with the schools, which binds them with the school
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: until they get into the transfer portal windows. That's kind
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: of like the temporary thing until they get into the
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: revenue sharing piece that will come down now, and they'll
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: do that through the judgment which is in March, and
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: then by next year they'll have the revenue sharing financial agreements.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: So the players are still gonna sign some sort of
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: a signature to the team that they're gonna go to,
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: but they can still of course hit the portal just
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: like they could now. Yep, that's what's gonna happen. Yeah,
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: good question. I'm glad you asked that. A lot of people.
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: I've had people ask that question. A lot of people
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: know there's stink, stink, stink, what up man? Thanks stink
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: for that one. Sooner failed to relaxed, we would come
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: out better than us in about this happens in the
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: year ten thousand foot view. Isn't that bad? I agree?
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: I mean, I talk about the defense I hear you
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: talk about defense all the time. The defense is what
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: we're gonna have to We can't lean too heavily on
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: a defense in the sec that's your problem because all
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: of these offenses have changed from back in the uh
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: Sabing initial era of just running the ball and being
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: just super physical. They're throwing the ball and they're getting
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: really good athletic dudes to do it. You have to
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: be able to compete with that as well. So Charlie Strong,
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: Charlie Strong is kind of hilarious. Yeah, I believe Michael
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: that the players do know. That's just me personally. I
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: believe they know, and I believe that that that they're
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: going through exit interviews and stuff now based upon the
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: knowledge of who your OC is gonna be.
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: And guess what, when we're not making that text message,
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: we're not You know, That's not something that I'm gonna
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: do is texting the players and say, hey, who is it?
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: Because number one, they've probably been they've probably been given
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: a very very big ultimatum. But also I just don't
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: want to put them in that situation. I've thought about
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: it the past couple of days, but it's there.
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: There's I think that a couple of things.
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: I saw somebody said, I think that Malson threw a
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: wrench in the whole everybody's plans, and I think that
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: that probably has a lot of truth to it.
- 1:47:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a I can I can say this you.
- 1:47:39Speaker 3: It's Tony Romo.
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: He tried to show he did show up in a
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: lot of games.
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: But no, I.
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: Fully believe, I fully believe that that this this next
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: year is going to be much better. You're gonna need
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: to get some players, so and you got to get some,
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: you know, some better buy in because you know, if
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: if you cut, if you see what Haines King is
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: doing out there, you bring in uh Faulkner. Like I
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: saw Haines King play at A and M and it
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: looks very Jackson Arnold esk uh. So if he can
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: do that there, like I'm hoping that he can do
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: something a little bit better here.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: It's true. Oh man, hey, Charles, thank you so much
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: for always pulling up twenty bucks. We appreciate the support.
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: But the funny one is that everyone keeps saying the
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: Romo piece is just hilarious. Thank you tofer. That is
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: just hilarious. Tony Romo coming in as our new offensive coordinator.
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: I need that in my life. Okay, well we're about
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: to go one hundred an hour and fifty minutes. Yeah know,
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: I'll usually go this loan. My voice is already shot.
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: LSU was fun. Hey, death was great. I will say
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: that at night. There really wasn't as intimidating as I
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: thought it would be. There really wasn't that many fans too. Like,
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: fans were leaving early, mainly because it was cold, and
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: they did not like the cold.
- 1:49:13Speaker 5: I was stouldn't say it didn't even get cold there?
- 1:49:15Speaker 5: How can that be?
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: Well no, but it was thirty something. It was like
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: forty degrees when we was out there. Yeah, no dead,
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: I had on thermals. Wow, I don't like four layers
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: of clothes. It was cold.
- 1:49:26Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't like shit like that. Done there.
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: No, their fans were at all because of it. So well,
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: we'll break down the roster going into next season. We'll
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: talk about who's around. As soon as we find out
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: who the higher is. We'll probably go live right there
