  What's your take on Oregon to the big Big ten? Obviously Washington the Big
• 0:04
  ten, USC UCLA. But I'm intrigued by this because, uh, you
• 0:08
  know obviously that that staff has done a great job bringing in guys in the
• 0:11
  transfer portal. You look at the quarterback room is really good, talent's really
• 0:14
  good. They play at a different rate and a pace than a lot of
• 0:18
  teams. Could they potentially look Ohio State's going to be right there. We'll
• 0:22
  see what Michigan does on a rebuild of swords Penn State. You know,
• 0:25
  until James Franklin can win the big games. I mean, he looks like
• 0:28
  he's going to be a ten win coach. Still got to, you know,
• 0:30
  get past those guys like Ohio State and Michigan. But Oregon, it
• 0:34
  feels like, and correct me if I'm wrong here that the way they play
• 0:37
  football, this this could catch a lot of people off guard in the Big
• 0:40
  Ten. And I think that they're a heck of a heck of a football
• 0:42
  team and could at least challenge for that championship this year. No, man,
• 0:46
  you nailed it. You absolutely nailed it. Like Oregon for what I
• 0:49
  have been sort of thinking here for the better part of this last week and
• 0:52
  we're trying to kind of figure out what the best talking points are as we
• 0:55
  kind of move into you know, Springs football. It feels like has been
• 0:59
  a Big Ten team for the last two years since Dan Lenning's got there.
• 1:02
  They're just now getting, you know, to have that sticker on the helmet.
• 1:04
  I mean, they've had the big human beings up front. They play
• 1:07
  a tough rand of football. The Pax twelve kind of has this label fair
• 1:11
  or not that it's the softer conference and those are West Coast guys like Dan
• 1:15
  Lenny comes from the SEC you know, like like he knows what it is
• 1:18
  in the trenches and he does what it takes to win at a very very
• 1:21
  high level given his time under Kirby Smart. So I think the way they've
• 1:23
  built it inside out, meaning from the lines of scrimmage out to the skill
• 1:26
  players and then going and getting the most experienced quarterback from my dollarge that's sam
• 1:32
  college football right now in Dylan Gabriel and how much he's played, I think
• 1:34
  I think they're gona hit the ground running. I mean, if I had
• 1:37
  to pick today a Big Ten title game, if I had to pick our
• 1:40
  batchup, I mean Vegas, I supposed to agree, But Ohio State,
• 1:42
  Oregon, man, we're gonna see you that one. I believe we'll see
• 1:46
  it in October. I'm trying to think of where it's at. It might
• 1:49
  be in Eugene, or might be in Columbus. We'll see it in the
• 1:51
  regular season. I want to be surprised in the slightest if we saw a
• 1:53
  second time around in Indies for the conference championship. So it's no it's gonna
• 1:57
  be tremendous to watch the entrant that conference. I don't think they'll lose a
• 2:01
  step at all.
