  week from cook, which is always funny. To the fact that we're both
• 2:16
  July cancers. That's not real. Wow, that's see. I shouldn't I
• 2:22

• 2:24
  the ability to do this stuff. But no, I appreciate it. I
• 2:28
  appreciate everybody in the chat. Thank y'all. I see you. I'm on
• 2:30
  my iPad because you know I'm here. In Dallas for the NCC. Luckily
• 2:36
  the locked on folks was able to hook your boy up. Tried to get
• 2:38
  the rest of the crew on and they told me, uh no, they
• 2:40
  kicked your boy out. So but we gonna get I'm in. So the
• 2:45
  good thing is now that I'm in, I'm like a virus. I'm gonna
• 2:46
  start infiltrating everything. I'm gonna spread through like cancer. And we're gonna get
• 2:51
  all our people pull up in. So yeah, let's go ahead and just
• 2:55
  jump right into things, right, half usselves a good time. I want
• 2:59
  to talk. You know, it's to see media days, right, So
• 3:01
  it's all week starting Monday through Friday. All your heavy hitters really pull up
• 3:07
  here. Let me grab the list of the names. I actually had the
• 3:10
  list with me, then I put it down, and then I realized,
• 3:13
  oh wait, I put it down. Why did I not have it back
• 3:15
  in front of me? But for those that care, the most important ones,
• 3:20
  the sooners go on Tuesday. That's when you'll have Brent Vinables, Jackson
• 3:24
  Arnold as well as Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman. They'll be available for media
• 3:30
  availability. It'll be on the SEC network, And so I'll go through all
• 3:36
  day Monday, check out what's going on, you know, and then on
• 3:38
  Tuesday I'll be there to hopefully ask a question or two. And I've got
• 3:44
  some extra good ones and shout out to those in the court. I had
• 3:46
  a couple of people who asked, what questions should you asked? And of
• 3:50
  course everybody decided to show some love and give me some very good questions that
• 3:53
  I may steal. Correction, I am gonna steal. I'ma take all credit
• 3:57
  for it line, but I'm definitely gonna steal and we're gonna leverage. So
• 4:00
  uh, cool man going to SEC media day. Man, what what what
• 4:03
  do you expect coming down the line, especially when we're talking about some of
• 4:08
  these other teams? What what are you what are you looking forward to hearing
• 4:11
  about? You know, it's it's great because when you've heard about the big
• 4:15
  twelve media days and you've already heard you know a lot of guys talking about
• 4:18
  how this is just completely different, right because you are to this conference,
• 4:25
  and this conference has the stature of you know we are we know who we
• 4:30
  are, right and so SEC Greg Sanki, you know a lot of the
• 4:33
  people talk about well, you know why, why is all the AC chatting
• 4:39
  or SEC chatting, because not all of them have been winning anything. But
• 4:44
  I think that when you've got a great when you've got a great you know
• 4:47
  guy and Sank over the top of everything. Uh, you know, he
• 4:51
  is one of the best commissioners that's ever done this game. You've got legacy
• 4:56
  and tradition. These programs have such big tradition. Just as Austin that's no
• 5:00
  shot at anything for the Big Twelve. But I mean at the same time,
• 5:03
  I mean, you you know, you've got the Florida's, Uh,
• 5:05
  you've got the Georgias, the Alabamas, the auburns Arkansas, Ole miss you
• 5:11
  know, all of these people with great tradition, and so you've got these
• 5:15
  guys coming in and they all have this air of confidence in there, and
• 5:18
  so you know, I'm really excited because now it's going to be I think
• 5:24
  it's going to be a really, really big piece because when we show up
• 5:28
  and you get a chance for Brent Vinnables and Sarkisian to come in, Uh,
• 5:31
  there's gonna be a lot of questions because not a lot of people know
• 5:34
  a lot about Oklahoma and Texas and they've only been kind of hopping in here
• 5:39
  and getting in you know, you know, checking out the Sooners, you
• 5:43
  know, for the past couple of weeks, and so now we're going to
• 5:46
  be hopping in and you have to hear from them for the first time.
• 5:48
  You have to hear who Brett Vinnables is. And I promise you a lot
• 5:50
  of people are going to be a lot of people are going to be really
• 5:54
  really impressed with both of those guys. You've seen Sarkisian and OC and the
• 5:58
  sec. But now out you got the new two coming in and how to
• 6:02
  do how did the rest of the teams handle all the questions about you in
• 6:05
  Texas? You know, because those answers are going to be pretty indicative,
• 6:10
  and you don't want to You don't want to throw out any what's the word
• 6:13
  I'm looking for? You don't want to throw out any you know, uh,
• 6:16
  you know, billetin more material because you know BV is going to take
• 6:19
  that, He's going to run with it. Yeah. No, that's actually
• 6:23
  the thing I was thinking about is what, well, what is everybody else
• 6:26
  going to say about us? Because of course everybody's first question is, so
• 6:28
  how do you feel about the Localahoma intakes us to it in the conference and
• 6:30
  you got to see exactly how upset our happy people are going to be.
• 6:34
  Jason, what you're thinking about coming into the SEC media days? What are
• 6:38
  you kind of looking forward to or expecting, uh from every from these coaches
• 6:42
  and some of these players. I think most of the coaches will do what
• 6:46
  they do and a lot of coaches speak, and you know, the Oklahoma
• 6:49
  and Texas enhance the stature of the SEC. But you know they're they're going
• 6:54
  to come in here and get our best shot. Blah blah blah. I
• 6:57
  mean, you know you'll be coach speak. We know what's being said.
• 7:00
  Really, you know it because it because it's trickled down into the fan bases
• 7:03
  and it's you know, you've I know, I'm quite sure that your comment
• 7:08
  section looks pretty similar to mine there. Jay. Uh, you know,
• 7:12
  you got folks that say a lot of stuff on the daily, you know
• 7:15
  about how Oklahoma isn't ready and uh, you know the funny one is when
• 7:19
  they say Texas is but Oklahoma isn't. But it's it's yeah, it's a
• 7:23
  bunch of that ulber jabbergibber jabbagibber jabber, and it's you know, to me.
• 7:28
  It's it's that kid that's talking tough and you know, walking through the
• 7:32
  graveyard and whistling. So you know what I mean, because you just you
• 7:38
  know that you're about to catch one. And I love it. You know,
• 7:42
  the more that they talk, the more that they the more that Sooner
• 7:45
  fans here. And I think it's kind of gotten to the point the last
• 7:48
  couple of weeks where you see and you know, it doesn't take much to
• 7:51
  set a Sooner fan off, but lately in the last few weeks, even
• 7:57
  when you're seeing Sooner fans being respectful and being like, look, man,
• 8:00
  we're just coming to compete. And I think that's kind of what we talked
• 8:01
  about last week. We talked about Teddy and what he had to say,
• 8:05
  and it really upset a lot of SEC creators around the country. But he
• 8:11
  wasn't saying Oklahoma was coming to dominate. He was saying, We're gonna come
• 8:15
  and compete on the every week. You know, yes, Oklahoma has to
• 8:22
  adjust to the SEC. Guess what the SEC gets to adjust to Oklahoma too.
• 8:28
  True, it's funny. I think it's fun you know. Oh no,
• 8:33
  I'm with you on ed What's funny about that is nothing that Teddy said
• 8:37
  was a liar, right, Like, the only person that's won the SEC
• 8:39
  championship is Kirby Smart. That's left in the conference. There has been a
• 8:45
  lot of turnover on coaches over the last few years. We were now on
• 8:48
  a fresh crop. We've got some coaches on the hot seat because they've been
• 8:52
  there four years and they haven't done anything yet. But wait when we get
• 8:54
  fired, we've seen the same thing. We've got a lot of new coaches,
• 8:56
  new faces, you know, with not only Texas in Oklahoma joining Mississippi
• 9:01
  State's got a new coach, you know, with Jeff Levy, right,
• 9:03
  you know some coaches only they're two years in. Brian Kelly, Josh Haipel,
• 9:09
  you know, Billy Napier is about the point where he's on the hot
• 9:11
  seat heavily. Clark Ley is as well. It's it's not illogical to say
• 9:16
  that ain't nobody else done anything in the SEC besides Ja Kirby Smart, who's
• 9:20
  the most tenured guy there left. Kevin de bors New recruiting great, but
• 9:24
  we still got to see what he looks like as a coach. I mean,
• 9:26
  you can recruit great. Texas A and M got a new coach now
• 9:28
  because the last coach could coach great and couldn't coach, could recruit great,
• 9:31
  We couldn't coach for a lick, right, he was too busy, stuck
• 9:35
  in his old ways. So that's it's not saying, it's not even honestly,
• 9:39
  it's not even really shitting on sec other team, just just pointing out
• 9:41
  the facts, right, and it's okay, almost a lot in response to
• 9:46
  what you were hearing, and he was hearing from not just from fans.
• 9:50
  It's not coming from fans, it's coming from creators that are sitting there trying
• 9:52
  to say that Oklahoma can't come in here and be what they've always been.
• 9:58
  You know, this is still Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma sooners. I think my favorite
• 10:03
  thing I heard that Andy Staples said from on three. By the way,
• 10:05
  I got to meet him today too. He's pretty nice, pretty cool dude.
• 10:09
  And he said this on on OKLAHMA Breakdown, and he was talking about
• 10:15
  I mentioned it in one of my videos, but you know, for the
• 10:16
  most part the paraphrase, he said that no matter where Oklahoma's been, they
• 10:20
  have found a way to get to the top every conference they've ever been in.
• 10:24
  At some point they find a way to get up to the top,
• 10:26
  so this won't be any different. It may start off slow, it may
• 10:30
  take two years to figure it out, but Oklahoma has always found a way
• 10:33
  to get at the upper echelon of every conference they've ever been in. What
• 10:37
  makes anybody think is gonna be a different now? Right? So for us,
• 10:41
  I gotta do is keep getting you know, big boys. Guess what
• 10:43
  we did. We're starting to get big boys. We'll talk about that in
• 10:46
  a few minutes, because we got to. We definitely gotta look at the
• 10:48
  massive improvements from this roster. But I did want to toss in some recruiting
• 10:52
  too, right, I kind of forgot to throw that in the rundown,
• 10:56
  so I don't think this is important. Real quick, we've got I had
• 11:00
  two big commitment dates coming up for US July twentieth. You have Floyd Bucard,
• 11:05
  the big defensive tackle out of Miami's Central High School in Miami, Florida.
• 11:11
  And then you've got the big five star offensive tackle in Michael Fasousi,
• 11:15
  who's doing all of his on August twenty first, Now, my pastor to
• 11:22
  y'all in just a second, but real quick, thank you for pulling up
• 11:24
  hit that light. Butdon if you need to chounce, subscribe if you listening,
• 11:28
  great review and give us those five stars. So when it comes to
• 11:31
  those guys, So we just saw Todd Heywood went ahead and committed to Alabama.
• 11:35
  We knew that was coming, like that wasn't a secret. Everybody saw
• 11:39
  that that he was leaning at heavily for a while and happy for him.
• 11:41
  Right was hoping we could land them. But you know how life happens.
• 11:46
  Well the card Coop, fantastic job on the interview. Everyone's raved about it.
• 11:52
  I've been getting messages about it. People love what you're doing on the
• 11:54
  interview trail. So you will definitely be continuing that. Good job. You
• 11:58
  did a good job on something. Ask your job moving forward? Congratulations,
• 12:01
  I'm just giving yourself more work. You know how it is how he's get
• 12:05
  Verizon, That's how it was. If somebody's good at it, you're gonna
• 12:07
  do it more often. Good, You're gonna do it. That is now
• 12:11
  your job. So Coop is an interview person. I'm gonna figure out the
• 12:13
  next set. But no, Floyd sounds like he's still conflicted. The good
• 12:20
  thing for Oklahoma is he's not a Miami native, he is a transplant.
• 12:26
  He is from Canada. So there's a lot of components that could potentially lean
• 12:31
  in anybody's direction, right, I don't think the nation is limited to him.
• 12:35
  So Coop, how are you feeling now you see his date after your
• 12:37
  interview, how do you feel about Floyd and what you think? You know
• 12:41
  it looks like with Assumer's going forward? Yeah, I mean you said it
• 12:46
  right when you said, you know he's still conflicted, you know, and
• 12:48
  asked him if he wanted to if he's gonna let the coaching staff know a
• 12:52
  few days out or if he'd already done it yet, and he said,
• 12:56
  you know, I really want to, but he's like, he know,
• 13:00
  he said, I'm a man of my word, and I don't want to
• 13:01
  like tell a coaching staff that, like I want to do that and then
• 13:05
  and then walk back. And so his big pieces, uh, you know,
• 13:09
  he he you know, I l does play a factor in this,
• 13:11
  but not because he wants to just you know, cash in for everything that
• 13:16
  he has. And Ail is a big piece because he wants to take care
• 13:18
  of his family. And we had a we had a conversation off screen about
• 13:24
  you know, just made the comment about how you know, I've had to
• 13:26
  do that also with some of my family members. And he asked me,
• 13:30
  you know, how does that feel? And so that is a big piece
• 13:33
  for him and uh so, but if you you know, you had fully
• 13:37
  regard to what we have on the defensive line already, that's that's a that's
• 13:41
  a great that's a great run. And to go with the guys that we
• 13:43
  had last cycle, I do say this is you know, we talked about
• 13:48
  poutine. If he saw that one too, that was great because even though
• 13:52
  he loves Haitian food, he he loved the poutine. That was a big
• 13:56
  thing. And but no, I mean, uh love, love love getting
• 14:01
  a chance to chat it up with Floyd and he was in the airport.
• 14:03
  One of the big things he says is, you know, once he commits,
• 14:07
  he's done. He's shutting it down. He's not going to any other
• 14:09
  campuses. That was that was a really really big because he's you know,
• 14:15
  I asked and I said about party at the Palace, and he said,
• 14:18
  well, and he stopped and gathered himself and said, you know, if
• 14:22
  I if I commit to somebody else, I'm not going to show up at
• 14:26
  any other schools. He's like, that's disrespectful to the coaches and everything they've
• 14:28
  done. And he said the hardest part about the recruiting, if you saw
• 14:31
  in the interview, was that it's going and talking to these coaches after you
• 14:35
  know, developing relationships for the past couple of years, and telling them like
• 14:39
  listen, I love you and I love your spot, and but I found
• 14:43
  somewhere that's better for me. So, you know, so if you read
• 14:48
  the tea leaves, you read the pieces and the things that really the staff
• 14:52
  and Bret Venamal's led staff, you know, is about a lot of those
• 14:56
  were big. A lot of those were big with him. And the one
• 15:00
  that you know always threw me a little bit of curveball was he didn't care
• 15:03
  which conference he was going to play. And so, yeah, we want
• 15:07
  to see it. I want to see if we can, if we can
• 15:09
  add him in because I like the guy and I really think that if he
• 15:16
  comes here, this is a place where he can grow as a man.
• 15:20
  It's a safe environment for his family and he can take care of that family.
• 15:22
  And so Floyd, Floyd's just one that I really hope does pull the
• 15:26
  trigger on Oklahoma. Here at the end of the on the twentieth, Jason,
• 15:33
  how are you feeling about this opportunity with this Floyd vic card? And
• 15:35
  then as well as Michael Vasuci and we'll lean back into Coop on that one
• 15:39
  afterwards. Listen. I shout out to the Coop obviously for that amazing interview.
• 15:46
  Great he is, you know, you should just go ahead and pigeonhole
• 15:50
  his ass right into it. But no, I liked it, and I
• 15:56
  think, you know, to me, it felt like he did a lot
• 16:00
  better job of like holding his cards closer to the vest than the last one.
• 16:06
  Uh, very much. It's a very very fair point. But I
• 16:11
  also got got the feeling that he's really happy with Oklahoma, and it seems
• 16:15
  like he's definitely excited about the opportunity to maybe end up being a Sooner whatever
• 16:21
  happens. You know, I tend to feel like, you know, and
• 16:25
  I guess I've told you the guys this quite a few times, but I
• 16:27
  feel like the guys that are supposed to be sooners end up being sooners,
• 16:30
  you know, just because of the way that they build these relationships. I
• 16:34
  mean, sometimes you're gonna miss you know, sometimes you're gonna miss them.
• 16:38
  And I think the same goes for the Susie. Everything that I've seen and
• 16:42
  heard, you know, and when I say seeing here, I don't care
• 16:47
  about what the quote unquote insiders think at Texas or really what the insiders think
• 16:52
  here. I know guys that we talk to every day. To talk to
• 16:57
  this kid, he likes so Oklahoma too. I think if to me it
• 17:02
  feels like for SUSI I've been saying, I think he's an Oklahoma Sooner.
• 17:07
  I don't think it feels like it. It does feel like it. And
• 17:11
  if he again, I'll just go ahead and say this again. If he's
• 17:15
  not okay, what I do know is this, you know, maybe you
• 17:22
  get Babylon, maybe you do I don't know, but I do know that
• 17:25
  the right guys will end up in that room, the guys that want to
• 17:27
  be developed into NFL NFL offensive lineman, because you know that's I mean,
• 17:37
  all you have to do is look at it. If you really want to
• 17:40
  make your money, you better come and you better come to Oklahoma because you're
• 17:42
  gonna get your your nil stuff. You're gonna get your you know, the
• 17:48
  revenue share, all that kind of stuff is coming down. The podcast that's
• 17:52
  going to happen but the real money is at the next level, and for
• 17:56
  offensive linemen, there is no better place to be than right here in Norman,
• 18:00
  period. So I feel like the right guys will end up being there
• 18:04
  also, you guys know how I feel about some of these guys don't go
• 18:07
  to camps, so they're not necessarily ever going to be a five star guy.
• 18:12
  Yeah, who cares? Who cares? That? True Williams was a
• 18:15
  three star. I don't know what else to you know what I mean?
• 18:19
  Right, right? And you're right, that is the thing. It's if
• 18:22
  you're looking at going to the next level. We all know that Big Bow
• 18:25
  is one of the best to do it, and he's put back to back
• 18:26
  years. The first rounder is right and if if, if things come to
• 18:30
  fruition the way they look like for this season, is a good chance he
• 18:33
  can have one more. And so I feel like personally Fasussie feels like our
• 18:37
  David Stone recruitment this year. Right, we had the questions around Stone like
• 18:41
  Stony last year. You know, he's hoping to bring him home or is
• 18:44
  he gonna stay closer to where he's currently at? And you know, I
• 18:48
  know that I know that sus season from Oklahoma, but he has a real
• 18:53
  love for beating Bow, and he keeps calling him to go. Man,
• 18:56
  I keep going back to that. He talks him up a lot. I
• 19:00
  wonder if Austin is more his is his vibes. It doesn't seem like that's
• 19:03
  his vibe. You know. The Boars are not looking favorable to that.
• 19:07
  But at the same time, man, I just think that he's a great
• 19:11
  talent and he feels like our stone recruitment. And I'm hoping that it does
• 19:15
  end in our direction. Coop FORESUSI that were going to go right into improvements.
• 19:21
  Yeah, and FASUTHI, I'll think this listen. Beating Boat has gotten
• 19:26
  a lot of criticism. There's been a lot of criticism and a lot of
• 19:32
  beating bow. You know, whether you want to call us being bo an
• 19:34
  apologist or whatever. Beating Boat was playing with one hand tie behind his back
• 19:41
  for the past couple of years, you know. And I'm talking about the
• 19:45
  you know, fifteen sixteen, seventeen cycles because a lot of these guys are
• 19:48
  coming here and they didn't want to do beach body type o you know,
• 19:52
  type of strength and conditioning and that was hard. And you know, of
• 19:57
  a couple of his classes got I just didn't pan out. And I think
• 20:02
  that's a big thing with offensive lineman is if you are a big, strong
• 20:03
  offensive lineman in high school, it is very, very very easily forgotten that
• 20:10
  there's not a lot of big time defensive linemen in high school. And so
• 20:15
  you're out there pushing around two hundred and forty pound dns and they don't have
• 20:19
  ann ounce of muscle, you know, outside of the you know, just
• 20:22
  their size, and so that's that's a tough go. But I still say
• 20:26
  this, I think Pasusi is an Oklahoma Sooner. I honestly believe it because
• 20:33
  I think that this staff has set the bar and every single time that we
• 20:37
  come that he left Oklahoma, you know that that bar was re established.
• 20:41
  And so why do I think that that's a big deal is because it made
• 20:45
  Texas extremely reactive. They had to be reactive. And when you try,
• 20:49
  when you're trying to be reactive, you can try to do something that's outside
• 20:53
  of who you are, and that's not always it. So you've seen the
• 20:59
  Texas odds. They're they're they're they've walked back on Fasusi quite a bit.
• 21:04
  Everybody around here wants to be cautiously, cautiously optimistic, and that does o
• 21:10
  U. I you know, sooner Scoop at two four seven. Any any
• 21:15
  guy that you see that's putting out recruiting stuff, and you know, we
• 21:18
  always give PG a shout out because he has had a great relationship built with
• 21:22
  Michael Fassoussi. Now is Michael Fasussi a guy that shows up day one and
• 21:26
  is an automatic starter? I don't believe. So he still has to come
• 21:30
  do just turn seventeen, He still has to come in, and he still
• 21:33
  has to come in and compete. And the cats that are on campus right
• 21:40
  now, and I'll lead with Isaiah Audrey Dent. That kid is going to
• 21:44
  be a monster, and it was going to be a tall ass with who's
• 21:47
  on campus. And and Bill Beatenbow's you know history of evaluation and coaching and
• 21:55
  you know, getting these guys to become you know, phenomenal offensive line that
• 22:00
  that that does. People do know It's it's hard to say, like,
• 22:04
  yes, he does great for the development, but I know that I'm better
• 22:08
  than all the guys that have been on campus for a few years. That
• 22:11
  and so to get for Susie Babelola fo Ja and then also thrown in,
• 22:17
  you know, Lamont Rodgers. That is never going to happen. Guys,
• 22:19
  it just was not going to happen. So I still say Bill beating Bow
• 22:23
  can mess around and still get Recruiter of the Year because with fo J he
• 22:26
  is going to be a borderline, if not a five star. If you
• 22:30
  have for Susie Haulin Beck is one of the top centers, and then Hutton
• 22:33
  already right there and then off A Lava I think, is that next Trent
• 22:37
  Williams, that next Davin Joseph guy who is who is you know, a
• 22:41
  lower recruit, a lower recruited because the camp circuits, but you look at
• 22:45
  the offer lists, you always got to chase the offers and af A Lava
• 22:48
  is an absolute steal. And that's not just because I did it, did
• 22:52
  a you know, an interview with him. I'm going to do an interview
• 22:55
  with Hutton too here this week and you know, just a little bit more
• 22:57
  about who he is. But Bill Beatingbo is going to have himself and if
• 23:03
  he doesn't win it, he's going to be a finalist for the Recruit of
• 23:06
  the Year at the end of this year. And so with that being said,
• 23:08
  is if you've ever been at a spots where you're like, man,
• 23:12
  you know, Jason, I hear you say it all the time. I'm
• 23:15
  not gonna worry about Oklahoma's offense with the offensive line. I'm not gonna worry
• 23:18
  about that. And I think that it's we're gonna be pleasantly surprised with this
• 23:22
  year and the recruiting. I agree fight on with that. So all right,
• 23:27
  let's let's move on to the next thing. Thank you all for pulling
• 23:30
  up hit that like button, new to the channel, subscribe, great review,
• 23:34
  all of that jazz all right, Coop popped it up on the screen
• 23:37
  for us. Thank you so much, sir. Here's your massive improvements.
• 23:40
  Right, so, as you see this, this is gonna be we We're
• 23:44
  only gonna focus on the trenches today. We'll talk about the other positions another
• 23:47
  day because this is gonna be like a thirty minute conversation by itself, to
• 23:51
  be absolutely honest. But the Sooner Sports site started updating the heights and weights
• 23:56
  of the players, right, so we start to see some updated numbers on
• 24:00
  size and as you can see, shout out to my boy Popo Stats by
• 24:04
  Boopo, my guy. He always puts us out for us in the in
• 24:08
  the court. But we we got to see some size changes here. Now
• 24:14
  let me go and put this perspective for you. Right, I'm pulling up
• 24:17
  George Stoyer's a tweet that he put out showing this exact same information. Offensive
• 24:21
  line wise, this is who Popo thinks is going to be on the start.
• 24:29
  I have Jake Taylor starting over Michael Tarkin, but either here nor there
• 24:33
  at this current moment. But this is what those size differences are. So
• 24:36
  Jake Taylor's up to three on nine. That's an additional six pounds than before.
• 24:40
  Spencer Brown up there at three twenty one back up at the left tackle,
• 24:45
  he's up to three twenty one, seven pounds more than he was when
• 24:48
  he got here. Right, Logan Howland came in at just over three hundred
• 24:55
  and six pounds, He's now three seventeen. Fabchi Waboo's a thirteen pound since
• 25:00
  he got here. He's at three thirty nine in the interior. Heath how
• 25:03
  Zeta is up six pounds at three eighteen on the interior. Right, Branton
• 25:07
  Hickman's new, of course, and so it's Eddie Pierre Louis. So we
• 25:10
  don't really have that well. Actually, Eddie Pierre Louis was three hundred and
• 25:12
  thirty pounds when he was a recruit. He's three oh five now. He's
• 25:17
  only been here this summer. Guys, right, God, these numbers are
• 25:22
  beastly on the offensive line. We've got everybody's over three ten except foot Hickman,
• 25:29
  which he'll probably maintain there because he's the center, which is still up.
• 25:32
  I think he was like two ninety when he initially got here. Talk
• 25:34
  to me, Kok, when you saw those numbers with this offensive line,
• 25:38
  what jumped out to you? Over three hundred? You know? I went
• 25:45
  back and I looked at the twenty twenty line. I looked back at the
• 25:48
  two thousand and eight line, I looked at the twenty seventeen line. And
• 25:52
  these are strong boys. And what does that mean? I mean, if
• 25:56
  you guys saw the video. They were out at the at the rodeo or
• 26:00
  whatever, and they put the offensive line group on the scale that they that
• 26:04
  they weigh the cattle with, and they had all those guys out there,
• 26:10
  big sex. He was out there, he was he took a lot of
• 26:11
  stuff on it. So if you follow him on Instagram, you can go
• 26:14
  check out those things. But this is this is what you're looking for.
• 26:18
  Keith Oseta. This is a gentle giant that is about to put some you
• 26:22
  know, foot to butt. He is he is continuing to get bigger and
• 26:29
  bigger. Gary Hatchett, he is now healthy and working out. The light
• 26:33
  has come on for Tarquin and Spencer Brown. These two guys have started to
• 26:38
  get back to what was, you know, what really made them well.
• 26:41
  And so now it is you've got the guys who look the part they are.
• 26:47
  They are massive human beings which you have to have in the SEC.
• 26:51
  Now, Bill Betingbo has his every single year, his annual job of who
• 26:56
  is my best five? And I think the best is going to be a
• 27:02
  I mean you Hickman is going to be there, and I think we was
• 27:04
  going to be at the right guard. I don't know if that changes at
• 27:07
  all. So now you have the right tackle, left tackle, and left
• 27:11
  guard. And I think that those three positions, if he can find the
• 27:14
  three that work the best together communicate with each other, that's going to be
• 27:18
  it. And I think it starts on the field with Branson Hickman. And
• 27:22
  so you you love having a guy who you know, freshman, all American,
• 27:26
  who has played the center at you know, he pushed around Dominic Williams
• 27:30
  pretty well in their matchup, so he is going to be a dude.
• 27:34
  Can these guys get to a spot to where it's consistent. Can they get
• 27:38
  to a spot to where they know what each other is doing? And I
• 27:42
  think the answer is yes. That has been the hope that all Sooners have
• 27:47
  had because this is a completely There is not a returning starter on this on
• 27:52
  this graphic. So these guys get grow together and so if they start out
• 27:57
  good and they can need to get stronger, We've all seen the Beating bow
• 28:02
  line come together, you know slowly throughout the season. This is going to
• 28:06
  be This is going to be one of the main focus points for a lot
• 28:08
  of Sooner fans. But I say it again, if you've ever had a
• 28:12
  coach that you just trust that these great quality athletes with great size, it's
• 28:18
  beating bow Jason seeing this offensive lineman? What jumped out to you when you
• 28:22
  see these numbers and heard those improvements. I counted seventeen offensive linemen, sixteen
• 28:30
  of them were over three hundred pounds, sixteen of them worth three hundred pounds.
• 28:36
  What a what a difference it makes? When you have a strength and
• 28:41
  conditioning coach that doesn't specialize in tybo or tbau. I don't know, Hey,
• 28:52
  big boys, man, look at that and I Pierre Luis comes in
• 28:55
  at three thirty. He's three h five, right, Obviously he was working
• 28:57
  before he came. Now you can tell that he's still working, right,
• 29:02
  And I heard that he's being monstrous in the training, right. So no,
• 29:04
  Coop, you're spot on with the fact that this entire line gets to
• 29:10
  jail themselves, they get to start something anew together. All you gotta do
• 29:12
  now is execute on it. And Jason, yeah, man, that's a
• 29:17
  lot of big boys, and that's something we've been wanting, right. And
• 29:21
  if somebody mentioned this in the comment, which I love, was a great
• 29:23
  point. Let me let me, let me let me point this out to
• 29:26
  you. Dagger point this out here. And he says, I love the
• 29:29
  size as long as they can carry the weight. The beauty of it is
• 29:32
  is that Jerry is Schmitty. Jerry Schmidt is the one that's working them,
• 29:37
  and we know that he makes sure that they can carry that weight. That's
• 29:38
  got to be way that's executable on you can't be rocking something that size and
• 29:42
  not be executable on if you actually plan on playing here, right, So
• 29:47
  they're getting up to the side that needs to be josh Is Sosis dropped weaight,
• 29:49
  he hit three twenty three. He was at three point thirty something when
• 29:52
  he first came in. It's like the bigger guys are dropping weight into more
• 29:57
  of a good waight, a weight that's carried, and then the guys that
• 30:00
  were smaller are getting that weight up so they can do uh, they can
• 30:04
  be they can carry it as well. But yeah, and Stephen, you
• 30:10
  are one hundred percent right, Steven, that private chef is putting it work.
• 30:12
  So you got good weight on them on top of good training, hard
• 30:18
  work. You still got to put in the work. Obviously they are coop
• 30:22
  crazy, that's right. Like so so let me ask you this cool line
• 30:25
  wise, do you think this is the starting lineup for you? This is
• 30:33
  not what I had it had online. I think I was more you know,
• 30:36
  in with you with with Tarquin being the swing with sex and uh and
• 30:41
  maybe Taylor being that right tackle. Uh, it's gonna be what is Jake
• 30:44
  Taylor? How do his feet work? Because his footwork is the is I
• 30:49
  think that Achilles Hill for him at the moment. So if if this is
• 30:53
  what gets rolled out game one, or if it's Taylor at the right tackle,
• 30:59
  or hell it's tark One at the left tackle and Sexton that left guard.
• 31:03
  You know, we've seen a lot of those pieces, but it's who
• 31:06
  works, who works the best together, and you're going to see these cats
• 31:11
  rolling in and you're gonna see a lot, You're going to see a lot
• 31:14
  of different lineups, and so it's again, this is happy time. Like
• 31:21
  when you look at this, there's not much to be sad about right here,
• 31:23
  right at all, nothing to be Yeah, this is exciting times.
• 31:29
  Man, Jason Man. Marco's coming in there at three seventeen, which is
• 31:33
  six pounds up. Of course, everybody as concerns about him when he was
• 31:37
  at USC, and even some Florida folks have had concerns about him at Florida.
• 31:41
  I don't it doesn't feel like it feels like he's improved. What you
• 31:44
  think, Yeah, I think that. You know what I'm looking here at
• 31:48
  Boomer once a night you said, Bama's smallest alignment is still bigger than our
• 31:51
  biggest alignment. And I don't think that you can't just look at it in
• 31:55
  terms of big because if you look at what happened last year with that big
• 32:00
  offensive line, they weren't good at a lot of things that they were good
• 32:04
  at runlocking, they were awful at passpro they gave up almost fifty sacks.
• 32:09
  Yeah, I mean, so the thing is not just about size. I
• 32:13
  think that you know, you there was a lack of size that was going
• 32:16
  on in Oklahoma that we needed to address, and I think it's been addressing.
• 32:20
  And I think when you kind of look at some of these guys,
• 32:22
  I kind of think about Xavier Robinson coming in at two hundred and forty pounds
• 32:25
  and then now he's down to like two seventeen or something like that, right,
• 32:30
  and you know we we we saw from when he went from two forty
• 32:34
  down to twenty seven on the last roster. I think is what it was
• 32:37
  that goes to show you that it's not just about the weight so much.
• 32:40
  It's what it's like, you said, can you carry that weight? And
• 32:45
  you know, are you giving them the strength that they need? I think
• 32:49
  that that has a lot to do with what you know, Hey man,
• 32:52
  Jerry Schmidt has not you know, he's not considered the one of the best
• 33:00
  the country period for no reason. I mean, he knows what he's doing
• 33:02
  there. I think that he's putting the right guys in the right place.
• 33:06
  I mean, what did we have You said that EPL dropped like thirty right,
• 33:13
  it's like pounds, yeah, roughly twenty five pounds. Yeah. I
• 33:15
  mean, look, guys, it's it's not just about that. Strength is
• 33:19
  what really matters. The weight is great, The strength is important, and
• 33:22
  so if they're getting stronger, whether they drop a few pounds or gain a
• 33:27
  few pounds, you know, you know what they what that particular player needed
• 33:30
  to do is what's happening. So I don't worry too much about that.
• 33:36
  Again, to me, I don't think that you can look at every team
• 33:42
  just and just go by certain little things like that. I think it's the
• 33:45
  same reason that all of as Sooner fans are sick and tired of hearing what
• 33:47
  Oklahoma isn't compared to what their teams are over there, because they don't pay
• 33:53
  that much attention to what's really happening here, just like maybe some people don't
• 33:59
  pay that much attention to the rosters over there either. I do to look
• 34:02
  at everybody's roster, but I know a lot of people don't and so to
• 34:07
  me, I'm not concerned with it. This is I mean, I hate
• 34:10
  to be that broken record guy that I don't worry about this kind of stuff.
• 34:13
  But I don't worry about this kind of stuff. There's other things to
• 34:15
  worry about, you know. I agree. And this was the one thing
• 34:20
  out I mentioned about that those line is going to surprise us. I think
• 34:22
  that they'll jail. Fine, it'll take a couple of games. But the
• 34:24
  good thing is we've got some good non conferences to prepare for. But it's
• 34:28
  moves the defensive line. Because defensive line is also a massive improvement. As
• 34:31
  you can see on here you have Godminick Williams as well as Dave Jeon Terry
• 34:35
  both in the three hundred reigns, and as well as Jane Jackson, who
• 34:37
  has officially hit three hundred status. That's three dudes on a d line at
• 34:43
  three hundred pounds. If you want to go right into the two ninety five
• 34:45
  and up range to include that, who one's right there on the fringe.
• 34:50
  David Stone's at two ninety four, right there at the line. Devon Sears
• 34:53
  is at two ninety five, Ashton Champ Sanders is at two ninety five,
• 34:58
  Grayson Halton's at two ninety one. G Baby's right there. He's pushing to
• 35:01
  get himself seven pounds up more, pushing himself to get almost three hundred pounds
• 35:06
  and be functional with it. But man, I'm gonna tell you this,
• 35:09
  who I'm gonna ask you who jumped out to you? Because the one that
• 35:13
  jumped out to me you probably know two of them mats you jumped out to
• 35:15
  me like crazy? Is Kaden Woolard at two ninety five maintaining that area?
• 35:20
  Dog, How did Nija swip it to two sixty seven? Like because somebody
• 35:22
  explained that to me. Geez Louise, it's and uh and as somebody just
• 35:29
  said it right down there too. Oko ya koy a is you know the
• 35:35
  text messages it's crazy because it's like it's like a you know, it's like
• 35:38
  a very very healthy stock market. Every single time that he texted me with
• 35:42
  a different weight and this goes, you know on this side. Uh,
• 35:46
  look at the middle. You got John Terry at three twenty three, Dominic
• 35:50
  Williams at three nineteen. That's what you need because when you're running, whether
• 35:55
  it's that that zero attack or that one we got to have some in there
• 36:00
  is going to be an anchor and what does that do that frees up the
• 36:02
  linebacking corp. And I feel like we know how to do that game now
• 36:07
  with the gats that we had there at the linebacking cop, the strength,
• 36:10
  the weight numbers and everything that I'm looking at right here from the defensive side
• 36:15
  of the ball. There's there's a couple of things. Last year at this
• 36:19
  time, we were looking at number of guys that we were excited about on
• 36:22
  the defensive line, not guys that we were like, oh God, just
• 36:25
  hopefully we don't make it to that person. Well, now we've got questions
• 36:30
  in the chat saying, well, hold on a second, Jane Jackson's the
• 36:31
  third team guy, Like those are the reactions we want because we've been hearing
• 36:37
  that Jay Jackson is him, and so I fortunate that this is the absolute
• 36:43
  piece that that that you should be excited about is Devon Sears was was balling
• 36:46
  out in the spring ball and things are clicking. Kyden Willard is a kid
• 36:52
  that a lot of casual Sooner fans are not going to know that cat's name,
• 36:54
  and you will soon. Ethan Downs, I think is about to have
• 37:00
  his manifesto this year, and because he is not only a great leader a
• 37:05
  great kid. But when we've seen the bright lights come on, it's like
• 37:10
  Ethan has surprised a lot of people. And so g baby back up there
• 37:15
  towards the three hundred spot. He is more of your pass rush specialist on
• 37:20
  that defensive line. Our Mason keeping that too forty. I think he was
• 37:24
  in the two twenty range last year. So I mean, you can't pj
• 37:30
  is up to two fifty one to two. There's just so much. There's
• 37:32
  so much in here that you're looking at and you're just like, oh wow,
• 37:36
  you know. So now these cats have been putting on this weight,
• 37:39
  they've been working on technique, they've been working with the coaching staff, and
• 37:44
  you know, all fifty five of them now and now they are going to
• 37:49
  be ready for August thirtieth, because it's time to tee off and tackle somebody
• 37:53
  other than the guy in Crimson cream practice jersey across from you. And the
• 37:59
  iron sharpent's iron is when you look at this whole list, iron sharpens iron.
• 38:02
  These guys are going against. This defense is going to be one of
• 38:06
  the better defenses in the SEC. And that's what the offense has been practicing
• 38:10
  against. So I mean, yeah, you forget about guys like trace fod
• 38:16
  Like you're like, oh, trace Board's still here, I forgot Can I
• 38:20
  get it Smith? Can I get it Smith? He's eighteen pounds too,
• 38:27
  you know. Yeah, he's gotten probably the thickest out there. I mean
• 38:31
  to sixty seven that's where he came in into two forty something, right,
• 38:35
  Yeah, it's it's at least fifteen pounds. I know. I think he
• 38:37
  was to forty seven maybe something like that. So fifteen to twenty pounds.
• 38:44
  So to me, and I've been saying this a lot, I know that.
• 38:46
  You know, we had him now, we had him on the show
• 38:51
  last year, remember before he ever committed, and he talked about that he
• 38:53
  didn't want to be that guy that hit three hundred pounds because he wants to
• 38:57
  be able to bounce between the inside and the outside and be more of that
• 39:00
  versatile player, remember, I mean that was that was one of the things
• 39:04
  that he was very outspoken about. One thing we know about Nigel Smith is
• 39:07
  that he's he's taking it upon himself to get bigger and stronger in the weight
• 39:13
  room outside of Oklahoma. Before he ever got here. You know, his
• 39:15
  coaches have raved about him back at Melissa about how that's the dude that even
• 39:21
  during you know, spring break, he was in there for two days,
• 39:24
  you know, to work out. So to me, that's it's you know,
• 39:29
  he he leaves leaves spring spring practices and goes back to Melissa and doesn't
• 39:32
  doesn't do spring break. He goes and works out for spring break. This
• 39:36
  guy is a guy that works, works on his craft. He wants to
• 39:38
  play in year one and be somewhere in the mix. I've said, don't
• 39:43
  sleep on that one. That that k he's gonna come in ready. Uh,
• 39:47
  and he's gonna he's gonna make sure that he gets his opportunities probably early
• 39:52
  on, I would think, I'll be honest, the bringing in this class
• 39:58
  we have. We got five dudes that is gonna fight for time, right.
• 40:00
  Stone's gonna definitely fight for time. So it's j Jackson, Nigel Smith
• 40:04
  is, so is Daniel Koye. He's gonna fight for time. And honestly,
• 40:07
  why Gilmore may actually surprise some folks who try to push for there too,
• 40:09
  but you still got more dudes back there. I mean you had Taylor,
• 40:14
  Uh, you got Taylor wine out there. He's like two sixty something
• 40:16
  as well, I think two sixty seven as well. So you got another
• 40:20
  big edge, the one that we found out in Tennessee when we was looking
• 40:22
  at a wide receiver. We're looking on the tape like, oh my god,
• 40:24
  who is this guy? Right? And he's giant, He's sixty three
• 40:29
  six fourds. So you got these tall dudes and strong was just out of
• 40:32
  nowhere that hey man, this defensive line is gonna better. So just for
• 40:37
  can I sell just yeah, go ahead, let me explain this one thing
• 40:42
  real quick. And you see these positions on here. That's not everybody's gonna
• 40:45
  be in the field at one time. It's gonna be based upon whatever formations
• 40:49
  we have. So I just want to clear that up for some folks that
• 40:51
  they're wondering, Wait, we're gonna play six linemen at one time? No,
• 40:54
  uh it go line. Yeah. But for the most part this is
• 40:58
  this is uh, depending on what the formation is, that's the technique that
• 41:02
  we need to be there. Four T zero T one t or a jack
• 41:06
  et cetera. Go ahead, Jason. I just wanted to say on behalf
• 41:08
  of myself and K Chris that we love you Ethan Downs and we are apologizing
• 41:14
  for ever doubting that's awesome. Hey man, Downs may end up getting himself
• 41:21
  a double digit SAX season because the good thing for us this year is guess
• 41:23
  what, we probably will see Max protect maybe twice all season. I since
• 41:29
  we'll see it against Temple and we'll see it against Maine. I don't know
• 41:32
  if we're gonna see Max Protect against Houston, tu Lane and everybody else.
• 41:37
  That changes things. Right, last season, we didn't see Max protect.
• 41:39
  We were getting four and five sack games. I think we saw it three
• 41:43
  times. Three times we didn't see it. We got a bunch of sacks.
• 41:45
  Every other time it was all Max Protect. Put the secondary pressure on
• 41:49
  them. This year, I believe that with the work that we've been putting
• 41:52
  in, that's gonna change. We shouldn't. We're gonna be get into that
• 41:57
  quarterback. That's not a matter right. More thing is I think Dominic Williams
• 42:01
  coming in and the continue if it's health for Halton. The best way to
• 42:07
  beat Max Protect is push right up the middle, and if you can win
• 42:12
  the one on ones and they can't, you you know, if you have
• 42:15
  to find out, if you have to struggle on who do we double team.
• 42:20
  I don't think that there is a spot right now. If the defensive
• 42:23
  ends with with woollard downs are Mason Ford, Nigel Aquila, if these if
• 42:30
  these guys that pass rush game has continued to improve. This is a big
• 42:37
  year for Miguel Chads and I see it here, Max protect is you're keeping
• 42:43
  extra tight end, you're keeping a running back. You've got more blockers than
• 42:46
  we have defensive players coming, and so you are not able to actually have
• 42:52
  a a PJ. I'm not forgetting about PJ. There's too many names to
• 42:57
  to to quote here. I'm reading off the Dad Gum Ross. So uh.
• 43:00
  But that is a big thing is this line allows the back end of
• 43:06
  our defense, which is still seen as the absolute strength between the linebackers,
• 43:09
  safeties and corners. This allows them to eat. And when you've got ballhawks
• 43:15
  like we got out there, that's a that's that's that's that's happy time for
• 43:21
  people on defense. Yeah, you need to have you you want them to
• 43:24
  be able to have more one on one to be able to beat that guy
• 43:28
  instead of having, you know, dealing with a bunch of double teams.
• 43:30
  And you want them to question that, right, So Jesse. Thank you're
• 43:35
  welcome. We're glad that we were able to get your explanation on that Max
• 43:37
  Protect. A lot of these teams recognize that when we played in the Big
• 43:40
  Twelve. They recognize that we had some size on us, and so what
• 43:44
  they're gonna do. They're gonna go ahead and put more people out there that
• 43:46
  have extra blockers at a full back, right, you're gonna put it's gonna
• 43:51
  be few wiree receivers, whole bunch of people in. And then at that
• 43:53
  point, if you do a whole bunch of like confusing routes and stuff,
• 43:58
  the secondary is basically pressures on them to keep up with everybody. But no,
• 44:02
  they were smart. They were smart about doing that to kind of slow
• 44:06
  us down. But I mean we still we were still going like sixty points
• 44:07
  in the lot of games. So even though they did it, it didn't
• 44:12
  prevent us from winning a game. Right, it was well, let me
• 44:15
  think about it, when they went into when they weren't the teams that didn't
• 44:20
  get into max Protect. I mean, we sacked Quinn yours five times.
• 44:23
  Yeah, against Texas, right, and everybody's raving about Texas offensive line last
• 44:28
  year. Your offensive line is supposed to be the best offensive line in the
• 44:30
  country and they gave up five sacks, so the you know, you didn't
• 44:35
  get home all the time on max protect as far as sacks were concerned,
• 44:37
  but you got an awful lot of pressures, which equated to an awful lot
• 44:40
  of turnovers as well. So you can't always just look at it as how
• 44:45
  many sacks do they get. I think it's you know, in a vacuum,
• 44:49
  you can obviously look at those numbers and say, yeah, that's part
• 44:52
  of the reason we didn't do A or B or C. But if that
• 44:57
  might be true, if you're also not getting pressures in forced some turnovers,
• 45:00
  they were doing that part. I think what it boils down to what happened
• 45:04
  with the offense at the end of season was you just ran out of depth
• 45:07
  pieces that knew how to knew what their job was. On the defensive side
• 45:12
  of the ball. You didn't have a bunch of guys that knew their assignment,
• 45:15
  so you couldn't really put them in and and some of the guys that
• 45:20
  that, you know, it was a drop off. It was too much
• 45:22
  of a drop off when you started losing guys like Denny Stutsman, you know,
• 45:27
  he lost gentry, you know, for a good part of that Peyton
• 45:29
  Bowen. There was a lot of guys that weren't in there. And I
• 45:31
  think the guys that, you know, it wasn't that you didn't have health,
• 45:36
  but they didn't have enough experience to be able to you know. But
• 45:39
  I also think of it in terms of a guy like McCarry Vickers. Yeah,
• 45:44
  he he went through some struggles at times, but he probably also got
• 45:47
  some much needed seasoning just from being in there under fire like that, you
• 45:53
  know what I mean. So I think it helped you in the long run,
• 45:57
  even though it didn't help you at the end of the year. That's
• 46:00
  a good point. That's a fair point. And long term this does nothing
• 46:06
  but help us, right we need guys that the competitive debt that we need,
• 46:10
  and we're getting it right now. You've got you know, players that
• 46:14
  if someone gets hurt, we got guys that can come move right in and
• 46:17
  play. That's the one thing that we really were missing over the first couple
• 46:21
  of years here was that there was stockpiling, restocking the cover. Right,
• 46:24
  they're bringing in new people, but then you still got to learn the defense,
• 46:28
  still got to learned the cause you got still learning techniques, et cetera.
• 46:31
  I think that's the beauty of going into this year. And y'all you
• 46:35
  will hear me say this every time I talk about the defense. I'm very
• 46:37
  bullish about this defense is because this is the third year for Brent Vinnables to
• 46:42
  have this many people in his system. That is a recipe for a massive
• 46:47
  jump in the efficiency writing right, Phil Still did dropped his in that book,
• 46:52
  and I you know, I broke down a little bit of that in
• 46:54
  a video, but you know, the cliff notes here is this Phil Still
• 46:59
  had used at like the seventh ranked defense last season, and what he does
• 47:02
  different than everybody else is he also looks at who the quarterbacks are you go
• 47:07
  against and the way that they put up numbers against everybody else that skews it.
• 47:10
  That helps the number. Because we did good against quarterbacks. What we
• 47:15
  what we struggled at was we gave up a lot of yards and a lot
• 47:16
  of people have pointed that out to me. Cool story. We didn't give
• 47:20
  up a lot of points. That's what's most important. Sure, we'll give
• 47:23
  you twenty to twenty. You ain't We had what three or four goal line
• 47:28
  stands last year. On four downs in a row. That's the one thing
• 47:31
  A lot of people don't get to understand that that's the most important piece.
• 47:36
  Yeah, we'll let you get yourself close. We ain't give enough touchdowns.
• 47:39
  We'll give us field goals. We ain't give enough touchdowns. And that,
• 47:44
  to me is the definition of a ber Inventables defense. And that, to
• 47:46
  me is the most important thing. And that's that's one question I'm asking on
• 47:49
  my Askpentables tomorrow. If I get the opportunity to, I'm gonna ask,
• 47:52
  hey, last year, your team was not giving up very many touchdowns.
• 47:55
  Is that gonna be the philosophy that's coming season? I sense it's gonna be
• 47:59
  twenty to twenties. Struggles are ante past twenty nine. Got don't suck in
• 48:02
  the raizon against us, but coup thos. Yeah, it's how many years
• 48:08
  have we sat in the stands and the moment the ball got within the thirty
• 48:12
  yard line, you just were like, all right, time for the offense
• 48:15
  again, Like you didn't even you didn't even assume that we were gonna stop,
• 48:19
  Like it just wasn't there. I think that that first goal I understand.
• 48:22
  Last year, I think everybody was like hold on a second. It
• 48:25
  broke a lot of people, and that we made the plays, not they
• 48:30
  had, you know, they messed up or something some weird lucky penalty happened
• 48:34
  during thing like that. Like that was the only chance that we had to
• 48:37
  uh to stop them is if they hurt themselves. And I think that going
• 48:40
  against the Oklahoma and you see it now out west is all you have to
• 48:45
  do is just execute. They are going to blow it for themselves. And
• 48:50
  now this defense not only doesn't have to go into that mentality now And I
• 48:54
  said in the chat, this is the first time that Brett Vinnibles at Oklahoma
• 48:59
  has had the cover. He's got playmakers at every single level and he can
• 49:04
  do what he wants. And Brett Vinablet is going to put folks in a
• 49:07
  dadgung washing machine and he is putting it on spin cycle. You have no
• 49:10
  clue what he's going to do. And that is where we get to see
• 49:15
  that Clemson defense here in normal. Yeah. Absolutely, And I think that
• 49:22
  Dagger says he says red zone defense matters more than the big play, and
• 49:27
  I totally agree with you. And if you think about it, prior to
• 49:29
  all those injuries, they were what top four top five in the country.
• 49:32
  They dropped all the way back to the forties once they you know, after
• 49:37
  all that, But again, when you are among the top two or three
• 49:43
  in the country in turnover differential and you can stop and you know that,
• 49:47
  you know they may move the ball between the twenties, but they're not going
• 49:51
  to get into the end zone all the time. That's a big deal.
• 49:52
  And again we're talking about this was a defense we're talking about that they had
• 49:58
  to put together in one year, in one year, which covered not fu
• 50:05
  like it is right now. And and the guys that were in the in
• 50:08
  the building, they really just weren't ready a lot of them to be on
• 50:13
  the field too much. And so for them to do what they did,
• 50:16
  I think it's easy to skew the numbers. And sometimes it's like I said,
• 50:22
  I love pro football focus, but again, sometimes that is cherry picking
• 50:29
  a lot of little things, because you can look at they great things in
• 50:34
  so many different ways. But when you look at the big ones, what's
• 50:37
  the most important thing is how many points you given up, how many points
• 50:42
  you I don't care how many yards they give up for play. If they
• 50:45
  give up a lot of yards play, they're going to probably give up a
• 50:46
  lot of points too. But if they're not giving up a bunch of points,
• 50:51
  then that's the important thing. I think. To me, I want
• 50:53
  to see them be a top ten scoring defense. Do that be back around
• 50:59
  that in turnovers? Do that you do that, Oklahoma's gonna have a banner
• 51:05
  season. It was a third twenty three because we gave up a lot at
• 51:09
  the end of the season. You know, the TCU game, the Arizona
• 51:14
  game, which was more of an expedition exhibition of course, and I think
• 51:16
  it was what Texas and Kansas were the only ones that scored thirty points or
• 51:21
  more against US besides those other two. So four out of your twelve games
• 51:23
  you gave up under thirty points. Yeah, can't complain about that, right,
• 51:29
  as long as you put your numbers up, that's what you're gonna win.
• 51:31
  And that to me, I mean twenty three we average. We gave
• 51:34
  up twenty three and a half on the season against some pretty solid offenses.
• 51:38
  That's big. So if we do that here, which the SEC is infamous
• 51:45
  scores defenses leading the way on these teams. I mean, I've seen a
• 51:49
  high, high optate offense from ole Miss score like fourteen points against Georgia.
• 51:53
  Right, we've seen that. We've seen them teams. If your defense is
• 51:59
  there and you hold people, that's a common thing, right to how many
• 52:04
  of the other defenses in the SEC J are going to be able to slow
• 52:08
  down Oklahoma's offense number one? But any of the how I'm not looking across
• 52:15
  this SEC and thinking, man, they've got a full on defense right there.
• 52:20
  You know, we know that there's questions at Tennessee in their secondary,
• 52:23
  for sure. There's questions in the secondary from a zoo for sure. I
• 52:28
  think that'll miss on paper, looks pretty good, right, but you know,
• 52:34
  third and Golden's third and Golding, we'll see, you know, But
• 52:38
  LSU, I mean, yeah, I know that they got some guys in
• 52:42
  there as far as the coaching staff is concerned, but they've struggled and putting
• 52:45
  guys in the room. As far as the transfer portal is concerned. They're
• 52:50
  bringing in a bunch of young kids that have to learn it. And to
• 52:53
  me, I'm still I'm kind of starting to starting to kind of I guess
• 52:59
  go over to the side of coop here there. I just don't trust that
• 53:01
  defense said that Le's shoot right now, I don't. I know that they
• 53:05
  always bring in talent, but you know, do you have to seizon them,
• 53:12
  just like we do at some point right right here with Soner in Texas.
• 53:15
  I'm ready for us to go line up, go ahead the field,
• 53:19
  and we're gonna do that very soon. That's the one thing we're good about
• 53:22
  is that we will be doing that. And with this five more Saturdays,
• 53:27
  right, five more Fridays, guys, oh, next month, next month,
• 53:31
  technically next month. Literally, this is the last month of no football,
• 53:36
  folks. I know that y'all are itching because I am. I'm feeding
• 53:39
  over here too. We get the Collegeootball video game to help us, to
• 53:43
  help us out, you know what I'm saying. We're gonna we're gonna get
• 53:45
  on it, but we're gonna get that. We get that DNC A game
• 53:47
  tomorrow and for the early adopters and Friday for the rest to enjoy. So
• 53:52
  all right, cool, go to the next one. Let's talk about he's
• 53:57
  coaching rankings, and then we're gonna wrap things up and get that out of
• 53:59
  this boy. So I'm gonna be honest. You know, CBS score dropped
• 54:04
  this one. I'm not even gonna do the other ones. From like sec
• 54:06
  Mike or any of the other people. I don't even care. We're gonna
• 54:08
  leave it. We're gonna leave it here at this one. But make sure
• 54:10
  y'all hit that like button if you need a chance to subscribe. Great review,
• 54:14
  all that jazz. Cool. Jason, you see this list. Everybody
• 54:20
  lost their minds in a few ways. I lost my line in one way.
• 54:22
  I'm still trying to figure out Alice Cavin the board number four on this
• 54:25
  list. When the guy above him he beat twice back to back years in
• 54:30
  bowl games and he went to a school with more resources, more talent.
• 54:36
  How do you drop that? Like? How does that happen? Like?
• 54:37
  How do you do that? I mean, are you rating the school or
• 54:39
  rating the coach? Because to me, if you're rating the coach, you
• 54:42
  recognize this coach with less resources wins, that's champion beat that team. I
• 54:45
  don't to understand this. This one's wild to me. Still upturned, Jason,
• 54:53
  go to you first. Oh really doesn't make any sense? Jumped out,
• 55:00
  Well, none of it makes sense. And absolutely Kirby Smart is the
• 55:06
  only one that we know for sure belongs up there. And honestly, I'd
• 55:08
  say Brian Kelly for to some extent probably does as well because of the fact
• 55:14
  of what he did at Notre Dame and stuff. I don't know that I
• 55:17
  won two years in a rowressive and I give him that, and they've had
• 55:22
  a heisand Trophy winner, but they also he also fielded the worst defense in
• 55:25
  the history of the program though as well, so, which is which is
• 55:30
  a little wild to me. Steve Sarkisian being number three is the biggest joke
• 55:35
  I've ever seen in my entire life. Kaylen de Boor. I mean,
• 55:38
  you could argue him as high as number two here because you know, he
• 55:44
  took a team with less talent than he's than he's got right now to the
• 55:47
  National Championship game. They looked about the same as as you know, they
• 55:52
  didn't look good in the National Championship Game, but they got there. They
• 55:55
  beat Texas. He's two and oh against Steve Sarkisian with Steves Sarkesian's old team
• 56:01
  that he never won ten games with, the guy went twenty five and three
• 56:07
  at Washington, who was four and eight when he got there. It make
• 56:13
  it make sense, and you know, shout out to Stephen from fanatic perspective,
• 56:16
  but Bruh, I don't care that he got to the playoff and won
• 56:21
  the Big Twelve. I don't care because he didn't. Hey, look he
• 56:25
  caught a break and not having to play Oklahoma again in the Big Twelve championship
• 56:30
  game. Bottom line is is once they got there, they did what they
• 56:34
  do. They fell apart. Eli drink Witz number seven. What what do
• 56:42
  we won? One winning season? One winning season he happens to win eleven
• 56:49
  games Forget about drink though. But I will say, and when you look
• 56:57
  at you, look at Brent Vinables. I mean, come on, man,
• 57:00
  I love how everybody talks about acting like your time as a coordinator and
• 57:07
  your success as a coordinator has nothing to do with what you are as a
• 57:12
  head coach. Well, I don't believe in that. I don't buy into
• 57:16
  that at all whatsoever. The reason, a big, big reason why Clemson
• 57:21
  won two national championships and played for another one was because what was because of
• 57:27
  the fact that that defense was that good. And it was before they started
• 57:32
  getting a bunch of five star guys too. You know, yes, you
• 57:37
  needed to have guys like you know, Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson there as
• 57:43
  well. But you gotta have those guys no matter what. But without that
• 57:45
  defense, they were never going to get to that ploy, to that place.
• 57:50
  You haven't seen them there since you didn't see them there before. So
• 57:53
  to me, I don't think I don't even think it's it's to me,
• 57:57
  I think it's crazy that you got guys like Dreams, who's again played an
• 58:01
  easy schedule. The good teams that they played, they got beat by their
• 58:07
  defense. They talked about their defense so much they that defense couldn't stop LSU
• 58:14
  enough for them to beat enough for them to put up enough points on the
• 58:17
  worst LSU defense in history to get it done. That was a home game.
• 58:23
  They couldn't beat Georgia. You know, look, anytime that they've played
• 58:28
  anybody big, it's it's crazy to me. Again, I think that Josh
• 58:31
  Haipel was probably a little low on this list. I definitely think that Sarkesian
• 58:36
  probably, I mean, yeah, put him at number seven or eight,
• 58:38
  fine, I'm good with that. But brit people not being at least in
• 58:44
  the top eight here is insane to me, and it's just disrespectful. You
• 58:47
  stop, you stop and think about what he's done in one year's time,
• 58:52
  when he took over a flaming wreck that was left by by Lincoln Riley.
• 59:00
  I mean they had five score losses in year one. I mean it could
• 59:05
  have been a lot worse. And they flipped it in year two. And
• 59:07
  we're gonna talk about the games that they lost, you know, because they
• 59:10
  lost to Oki Light in Kansas. You know what Kansas is your daddy's yeah,
• 59:16
  combined eight points and Kansas isn't your daddy's Kansas anymore either. Oh.
• 59:22
  No, Last Life Bald is doing a freaking phenomenal job. He's getting recruits
• 59:24
  too. Man, he's doing it at all. Right, it's crazy.
• 59:28
  I mean it's not like it's not like you can say whatever you want about
• 59:30
  the Big Twelve. And I know that's the SEC's favorite thing to do.
• 59:34
  Right now, there's all these what y'all did was in the Big twelve.
• 59:38
  All right, bro, you've been This has been the top conference for not
• 59:43
  even quite two decades now. Settle down, settled down. I love it.
• 59:52
  Yeah. No, So for me, Venables being above twelve, as
• 59:58
  I put it this way, and everybody below Venables is on the hot seat
• 1:00:01
  for the most part. I mean, Levy's new, so he's got to
• 1:00:04
  be last. That's just kind of it is what it is to watch the
• 1:00:06
  Mississippi State struggling. You know, unfortunately they lost the pirate you know,
• 1:00:10
  risk in peace to Leech coach Leech, and so it makes sense they wore
• 1:00:15
  come at the bottom. He's the newest guy, first time head coach,
• 1:00:16
  new things, bl blah blah blah blah. Clark A has been on the
• 1:00:21
  hot seat for a couple of years. We'll see if Vanderbilt decides to finish
• 1:00:24
  their stadium, will fire him? You know, it'll be one of the
• 1:00:27
  two. Which one is gonna happen first? But the stadium you finished first?
• 1:00:29
  Or is he gonna get fired first? We don't know. And of
• 1:00:31
  course Pittman and Apier and Shane Biemer are all three on the hot seat.
• 1:00:35
  To anticipation is that all three ends up losing their jobs. But when I
• 1:00:42
  so vnables there, him being a first time head coach is the only reason
• 1:00:49
  why I see him at eleven. And to be honest, I think eight
• 1:00:52
  is the more fair number for him. But I'm okay with eleven. I'm
• 1:00:55
  only okay with eleven for one reason. I just want us to go out
• 1:00:58
  there and punch people in the mouth, shut them all up. We do
• 1:01:01
  that all the time stations Newt Right, it's a moot point. We just
• 1:01:07
  go just punch him and it out, we win the games. Anybody gonna
• 1:01:09
  say nothing, Coop when you see this, see that lift, but jumped
• 1:01:14
  out to you what you think I mean, you guys pretty much whenever everything
• 1:01:19
  This is absolutely recency biased because Brian Kelly loses one of the most dynamic quarterbacks
• 1:01:24
  who is pressing to be a starter, you know for the Commanders right now.
• 1:01:30
  Yeah, Sarkesian, Uh, he is up there because he went to
• 1:01:35
  the playoff last year. And I'm not gonna lie that was a weak field.
• 1:01:38
  I still think Georgia makes it they win the national championship. The fact
• 1:01:44
  that that you just slide in Kaylen Vorr into Alabama like we all made everybody
• 1:01:50
  the Pac twelve is dead, Like that's how crappy that conference was? Is
• 1:01:53
  it is gone now? And so yes, you played the games that were
• 1:01:58
  in front of you and now you're at Alabama. Let's let's not get a
• 1:02:01
  twisted that Alabama didn't go straight to Kaylin and Borr as the top of their
• 1:02:06
  list. These things that don't that the things that we don't hear as regular
• 1:02:10
  fans, you know, with the negotiations with coaches, is the list is
• 1:02:17
  really really long. So all these guys, none of these guys have outside
• 1:02:22
  of Kirby, nobody has done anything. And so this list, if you
• 1:02:27
  wanted to say, like you know, tier one, tier two, tier
• 1:02:30
  three, I think tier one's Kirby Smart. Tier two is probably two to
• 1:02:35
  eleven. Uh. And then but I mean Mark Stoops is a terrible season
• 1:02:39
  away from losing. Eli was on the hot seat going into this year,
• 1:02:45
  and so yeah, I mean I think somebody had said it and I highlighted
• 1:02:49
  it, so I thought, you know, I forget who it was.
• 1:02:52
  Just I'll say just this is we have an absolute opportunity and the the the
• 1:03:01
  verbage around Oklahoma, you know, about to find out Letten, you go
• 1:03:07
  in and you put it down on Tennessee pretty pretty tough, and we're going
• 1:03:13
  to have a lot of people's narratives are going to get questioned, and a
• 1:03:15
  lot of people are going to have to look internally because it's not going to
• 1:03:20
  be respect out front. Guys. If Oklahoma rolls out and puts it down
• 1:03:23
  on Tennessee and then goes out and beats Texas, nobody, it's going to
• 1:03:28
  you're gonna it's go the yeah butts are going to start coming out the yabbah.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah, but it's a long Yeah, but Texas is who we thought
• 1:03:36
  they were. Yeah, but well Nico is a freshman and give them a
• 1:03:39
  few more years. Yeah, but you know, it was at home and
• 1:03:43
  they got their first game. Of course they were hyped up. All the
• 1:03:45
  yabuts are going to be coming out, sure, and then it's not going
• 1:03:49
  to be until towards the end of the season where you're going, did we
• 1:03:52
  have some stuff wrong? Because it'll be the abb butts and then oh,
• 1:03:55
  look what Oklahoma's doing. They're on a heater. Can they hold it on?
• 1:04:00
  Nobody's going to give the flowers until the end of the season, and
• 1:04:03
  it really doesn't matter. But I think that the I think that the questions,
• 1:04:10
  the question marks, you know, from two to sixteen are a plenty.
• 1:04:15
  And then I think that there's a I think there's heat on Kirby Smart
• 1:04:18
  too, because with the continued situation on campus with what is it now,
• 1:04:23
  twenty four since the since the wreck that took someone's life. Since that wreck,
• 1:04:29
  they've had twenty four different situations. Now you've been there now everybody is
• 1:04:34
  telling you that, you know, you guys are the you guys are the
• 1:04:40
  premiere program in the country. Now, a lot of people still have things
• 1:04:43
  to say. Like I said with lang Kiffen multiple times, we've never seen
• 1:04:47
  the Mercenary teams come together and do anything big. So, you know,
• 1:04:54
  in the in the words of I think it was also Herm Edwards, you
• 1:04:57
  know that's why they You know, you play to win the game. It's
• 1:05:00
  time to get out there. It's you can get out there on the field
• 1:05:05
  to to make it happen. So Oklahoma can look at it. And I'm
• 1:05:10
  not going to throw around excuses for last year. Uh you know, I
• 1:05:13
  could talk about past interference calls and everything like that, but listen, this
• 1:05:16
  team has been curated by Brent Vinnable's staff for the past two years and now
• 1:05:23
  he finally has everything he needs to have and now we get to see what
• 1:05:27
  happens. Because I promise you this sooner, fans, I think that we
• 1:05:30
  are very, very, very fortunate that the offensive line is a big question
• 1:05:33
  because I think it tempers our enthusiasm quite a bit because if we were returning,
• 1:05:38
  you know, a really good offensive line. Right now, I think
• 1:05:42
  a lot of us would be loosen our Dan mines and I think that the
• 1:05:45
  disrespect would probably still be in the same arena and we would speak yeah.
• 1:05:53
  Right, yeah, So let's uh, let's let's let's see what happens,
• 1:05:57
  because you know, we we got the schedule in front of us. Oklahoma
• 1:06:00
  has and we listen, if we make it through the schedule at ten and
• 1:06:04
  two, eleven to one, nine and three or whatever, you earned,
• 1:06:08
  you are who you who, your record sets that you are. And but
• 1:06:13
  if Texas goes through with the same type of thing, everybody's gonna be able
• 1:06:15
  to throw out them. Yeah, but you guys got a cakewalk schedule.
• 1:06:19
  Missouri, same thing. Yeah, but you had a cakewalk schedule. And
• 1:06:23
  this is Jay You've mentioned it multiple times. The way that this lineup is
• 1:06:29
  the schedule is organized for us. You get a couple of breathers between the
• 1:06:33
  bye weeks and Maine and they're they're put really, really well. So Oklahoma
• 1:06:39
  is going to be what the record is at the end of the year.
• 1:06:42
  Yep. That's the thing is those strategic pauses within the schedule is the thing
• 1:06:46
  that makes me smile. Right, you know, you get you mean,
• 1:06:51
  you get your bye week, you know, right before the Texas game,
• 1:06:55
  which is the one that you need the most, right, that's going to
• 1:06:57
  be a big physical game or whatnot a couple of weeks. Right again,
• 1:07:01
  you get a bye week before you travel to Oxford. So the other big
• 1:07:06
  gang on the road, you get a you get a you get a you
• 1:07:13
  know, no, I'm sorry, you don't get a pause. There is
• 1:07:15
  that the one you get the polls on. It's before missoo right, it's
• 1:07:19
  for Missouri. For Missouri, you get that break. Well, that's the
• 1:07:23
  main game, and then you get the break right before Alabama. So main
• 1:07:27
  is technically a bie with that's your back. Yeah, that's your that's your
• 1:07:32
  game, that's your SEC game. That's the one that you go ahead right
• 1:07:35
  there check out for right. Yeah, so yeah, we we we got
• 1:07:41
  it all in a line, which is beautiful. It's it's it's it's gonna
• 1:07:46
  work out a lot better than we expace. So all right, wrap it
• 1:07:50
  up, put a bow on it. Cool final thoughts, Jason, final
• 1:07:54
  thoughts, and then lets people know where to find you. I'm I'm ready.
• 1:07:59
  This is this schedule that we're looking at. The players that are now
• 1:08:03
  in in line. This is why we wanted to go to the SEC,
• 1:08:09
  and you got to think that we were. We were hours away from being
• 1:08:13
  a PAC twelve team, hours away, And I don't think I think a
• 1:08:16
  lot of people forget about that. I think the Pack twelve would still be
• 1:08:19
  around, but we would be in the same boat with the disrespect. So
• 1:08:25
  now if Oklahoma comes in and rolls in and they I'm just saying ten and
• 1:08:30
  two or eleven and one, if that happens this year, there's going to
• 1:08:33
  be no excuses anybody can have. Then at that point you got to go,
• 1:08:38
  oh god, okay, so what what are they bringing back next year?
• 1:08:41
  Oh? Oh crap, they might be better in twenty five. And
• 1:08:45
  so this is this is it. And if if if we do struggle in
• 1:08:50
  the SEC this year, you know it is still in a position for us
• 1:08:58
  to continue to get better a year after year. We've been recruiting at the
• 1:09:00
  top of everybody. This class coming together is going to be another one.
• 1:09:05
  The twenty sixth class is going to be listen, twenty six class could be
• 1:09:10
  our best class undervenimles. And that says a lot because of the quarterback in
• 1:09:15
  place, and so the point there's not a lot to be sad about right
• 1:09:19
  now. You know, Steven, it's got a good, good point here.
• 1:09:23
  We got to talk about NCAA. We'll talk about that in just a
• 1:09:25
  second, but Jason, that people know where it can find you. And
• 1:09:28
  your final thought before we go into these video game numbers, yeah, I'm
• 1:09:30
  still a phone one. Yeah, my final thought would just be that again,
• 1:09:35
  when you say if they struggle in the SEC, I think that struggle
• 1:09:39
  would be like eight and four, you know, I mean, and I
• 1:09:42
  think that most people would say that that's a successful first season in the SEC.
• 1:09:45
  Most people, not including Oklahoma fans, would say that. But I
• 1:09:49
  think that that's probably where you bought them out. To do. Anything less
• 1:09:55
  than that would be probably catastrophic. Things have happened, you know. Yes,
• 1:10:00
  you know. So I feel like anything worse than eight and four is
• 1:10:02
  and that and that's your bottom. So to me, Yes, I've been
• 1:10:05
  saying nine to three for a while now. I still believe that I see
• 1:10:11
  the path to ten and two. I can see a path to eleven and
• 1:10:14
  one. But I'm more along the lines of because I've always said that,
• 1:10:18
  I feel like twenty five is going to be their real first year to have
• 1:10:23
  to be that guy, that team that's gonna really compete for everything, really
• 1:10:28
  competitive, Yeah, for all of it, for the sec for all of
• 1:10:31
  it, you know. And but to me, I do feel like you
• 1:10:34
  had some things that have happened, Nick Saban retiring, you know, Dominic
• 1:10:41
  Williams, certain certain few things that have happened over the last six months now
• 1:10:46
  that have maybe moved it up a little bit. So I do feel good
• 1:10:51
  about it. I think that one of the things that's happening is this level
• 1:10:56
  of disrespect. Don't think that they don't hear it inside that inside the Switzer
• 1:11:00
  Center Center. Oh yeah, they're here, they know, they love it.
• 1:11:04
  And in fact, oh you know that Brent Vinibles is licking his chops
• 1:11:09
  every time somebody says something like that. So continue talking, continue talking,
• 1:11:15
  continue disrespecting, because Oklahoma's gonna shouw up and look. Not saying we're gonna
• 1:11:20
  dominate, but you're gonna get a fight every weekend. That's true. I'm
• 1:11:26
  ready think thank you for the twenty bucks. We appreciate you always showing love
• 1:11:30
  and support. Yes, the Palace and the Prairie is going to be the
• 1:11:31
  elite. It is all right, real quick on some of these NCAA numbers,
• 1:11:36
  and we're gonna let y'all go ahead and go home tonight. Y'all see,
• 1:11:41
  Gentry Williams is on the video game sitting I got eighty ninety eight and
• 1:11:45
  speed. Broh, we got a corner that's that fast. He can hit,
• 1:11:53
  he can play defense. I'm leading with the wide receivers. Dion Bert
• 1:11:57
  sitting here at ninety three. You got Andrew Anthony had a ninety four and
• 1:12:01
  he's still coming off injury. So they showed him love immediately with that.
• 1:12:03
  And Gavin Saltchik's also a ninety eight. Just know that we're gonna be fast,
• 1:12:10
  yeah, and we're gonna be vitent. Oh gosh, how are you
• 1:12:14
  gonna do it myself? Cool? Cool games? It's not fair. Game
• 1:12:19
  hits out tomorrow and we're already starting to see. You know, Jay,
• 1:12:24
  you and I got a text, you know, with a screenshot of one
• 1:12:29
  of the players playing, and I've gotten a couple of other in the dms,
• 1:12:31
  so you know, guys are hitting this thing up. And it's been
• 1:12:36
  ten years and it is absolutely I mean, this is great. I listened
• 1:12:42
  and I was a negative Nancy. I bought the game last night, so
• 1:12:46
  I went through and I you know I had there we go, you go
• 1:12:50
  right. I just didn't think that I was going to have the time because
• 1:12:54
  of a big boy job and and this. But yeah, I'm gonna all
• 1:12:59
  beired. I haven't gone to bed before two am the past three nights,
• 1:13:01
  so let's make it four nights in a row. Boo Man took took third
• 1:13:08
  place in a poker tournament. Uh and it was I had a bad beat.
• 1:13:13
  Pocket Queens is what I flip And he flips pocket kings on crap board,
• 1:13:16
  So h I forgot about it already. So uh no, this this
• 1:13:24
  is this is great because we were talking about in our discord chat. It
• 1:13:28
  is like you got a size crew and you've got a speed crew, and
• 1:13:33
  both of them are legit, Like I love Brennan Thompson and all, but
• 1:13:38
  that guy's he just has speed where Dion Burks He's got a lot. And
• 1:13:43
  you know, I think a lot of people are going to forget about uh
• 1:13:45
  Nick six too because of all the speed and everything out there. And then
• 1:13:49
  Jayden Gibson is out there going, hey, I'm ready to play. I'm
• 1:13:54
  ready to play. Like the weapons that you're going to see in the game
• 1:13:58
  are going to be vastly underrated for what I think they're actually end up going
• 1:14:00
  to be. So we get a chance to you know, play a little
• 1:14:02
  play a little game, and uh, overall overrating is eighty seven, offense
• 1:14:09
  in eighty six and the defense is eighty nine. Please tell me if I
• 1:14:14
  told you three years ago that our defense was going to head into the season
• 1:14:17
  as the strength of our team, a lot of you folks would be calling
• 1:14:21
  mental hospitals on you know, on the half, and I sure as hell
• 1:14:26
  wouldn't be on the show with Jay at this point. So litten, it's
• 1:14:30
  gonna be fun. And you know, I don't think I'm going to play
• 1:14:34
  with a crap team and do that stuff like I'm gonna play with Oklahoma for
• 1:14:36
  a few weeks before I move on because I'm I'm pumped up about it.
• 1:14:43
  Yeah, I'm gonna have two dynasties going right, I'm gonna have I plan
• 1:14:45
  on join the online when hopefully time permits for it, but I also plan
• 1:14:49
  on having a just a sooner one on the side, just for me to
• 1:14:51
  do real recruiting and really caring or whatnot. I'm not gonna be one of
• 1:14:56
  them. I'm walking into the big Jobs, Big Boy Job day one.
