BIT-DSS 361: Enterprise Planning in the COVID Era · Boundary Corner Podcast

• 0:46
  Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
• 0:50
  My name is Curtis Wilson along with my partner.
• 0:54
  Brian Siegel. What's up, buddy?
• 0:55
  How you doing? Oh buddy, having a great
• 0:59
  Thursday night man cave, fully engaged.
• 1:03
  I got your Bravo's and the Rays on the TV.
• 1:06
  I got to stop nuts on the TV and I got to Pelicans jazz on TV as
• 1:12
  well. Wait for the Lakers Clippers to
• 1:13
  start and that games Going Through the Wire man.
• 1:16
  Especially and I do, we got, I got mine pulled up here watching
• 1:19
  the end of the Pelicans here. I'm hoping that You go by Lakers
• 1:24
  are going to take care of some Clippers tonight that's the hope
• 1:27
  so we'll see how it goes. If Brian sounds distracted,
• 1:31
  later in the episode guys, something's going on with that
• 1:34
  game and he is focused on it. So, don't be shocked.
• 1:38
  This can happen because we are sports fans, even outside of our
• 1:43
  hope, you known. So yeah, man.
• 1:46
  But Brian, we have a lot to unload tonight.
• 1:51
  Yeah, a little. Something big came out yesterday
• 1:54
  that we want to have a little discussion.
• 1:56
  Oh, oh, yeah. And we're going to get there,
• 1:58
  but we're going to break a couple quick.
• 1:59
  Quick hokey, quick takes Brian. Let's go back Duane Lofton 5
• 2:05
  foot 10 and 175-pound wide receiver out of North Side.
• 2:09
  High School in Fort Worth, Texas commits.
• 2:13
  The commitment comes from merrily over Mississippi State,
• 2:18
  huge win for the Hokies, moved from Houston up to Fort Worth.
• 2:21
  Will you think about Dwayne lost and what you see out of this
• 2:23
  guy, one word speed these easily take some time.
• 2:29
  Self-defense decide. I think he's going to be
• 2:32
  somebody that can make some big plays for us and it'll be nice.
• 2:36
  Having a another legit Burger on the field, you know, you know,
• 2:41
  in a year or two, once he gets he gets his feet under him as a
• 2:45
  hokie said, I'm looking forward to it.
• 2:46
  That's a big pickup for us. I think he's definitely going to
• 2:49
  be a solid solid contributor. I'm not sure if he's only a day
• 2:52
  one, contributor, but I think this is speed and some of the
• 2:55
  versatility I saw with him, play multiple positions and doing
• 2:58
  stuff on special teams. Eames.
• 3:00
  I think that's going to be get him on the field sooner rather
• 3:03
  than later. Now, absolutely in end you talk
• 3:06
  about that versatility last year in the Texas 5A which is one of
• 3:12
  those criminal mccrum conferences or re, you know,
• 3:18
  Regional settings in that division.
• 3:19
  Like you know, the vhl has our Region's Texans, ap5 a
• 3:24
  first-team all-state in his district, he was the MVP.
• 3:29
  Listen to the stat line, 60 rushing attempts, 332 yards, 13
• 3:36
  touchdowns, 55 receptions. 1216 yards, 15 touchdowns you talked
• 3:44
  about him being the day. One contributor, you kind of
• 3:47
  look at his body run, he's kind of built, I mean, he puts on 10
• 3:51
  15 pounds, man. He's the one ready and he's, you
• 3:55
  know, he's really got close to 12 months to do that whether it
• 3:59
  be some special packages or coming in, he talked about his
• 4:03
  fee. May be on kickoffs upon return.
• 4:05
  I really think you could be a day one contributor just because
• 4:08
  of that versatility in That would be all from the sea.
• 4:13
  Yeah, that would be big time and like you said, I think special
• 4:15
  teams is going to be probably the easiest way to get him on
• 4:17
  the field right away. I know that we have some other
• 4:22
  wide receivers that have departed so it's not a room
• 4:26
  that's completely filled out. So there are going to be some
• 4:29
  opportunities for them there but I think special teams is
• 4:32
  definitely the avenue to getting him on the field.
• 4:35
  Right? Out the gate.
• 4:36
  Absolutely, absolutely. So great land.
• 4:39
  There helps move the Hokies up in the composite.
• 4:42
  In the rankings, he is a three-star. 87, you know, not
• 4:47
  even a top hundred player in Texas.
• 4:49
  Why do we should, why should we keep going there?
• 4:52
  That is why. Yeah, that's why in you want to
• 4:55
  do the comparison? You look at where he lands.
• 4:57
  And if you were to be in the state of Virginia, to be
• 5:00
  adopted, people are and the people who say it's not worth
• 5:04
  it, no going to these states of the size, your forward, as your
• 5:08
  Texas, your California's, You have to whether you get one, or
• 5:13
  you get Five Guys in a year. That's why you got to do it.
• 5:18
  Exactly. I mean, you know, we talked
• 5:21
  about what we see here in Virginia and I would love
• 5:23
  Virginia Town. I love getting Virginia talent
• 5:25
  in but especially Florida, and Texas.
• 5:29
  Florida for geography in the footprint at the ACC has and
• 5:32
  Texas for the experience, and some of our coaching staff,
• 5:35
  having the area. You're a fool.
• 5:38
  Not to, at least, try to get Going down there just because of
• 5:40
  the depth they have in the fact that a lot of these guys that
• 5:43
  are in that fringed the high priests are low for Star range.
• 5:49
  Tend to not be the guys that are looking to stay in state or not.
• 5:54
  Getting big offers from the AMS and the Texas has and the
• 5:57
  Oklahoma's. Yeah, under percent, man.
• 6:00
  Well, I think about Virginia Braun, you know, this is kind of
• 6:05
  near and dear to us being here in the state, but also going to
• 6:08
  be obviously Um, you know, affecting a lot of the recruits
• 6:13
  were already have on board. The vhsl came out this week,
• 6:16
  they have decided on option 3, which I think we all can agree.
• 6:21
  Option 3, probably was the way to go.
• 6:23
  Don't take away Seasons from these guys know.
• 6:28
  So you know option three guys if you haven't known is basically
• 6:34
  the delay of all the vhl sports in adopting what they call a
• 6:37
  condensed and there's still a Optic plan.
• 6:41
  So basically it's going to align as follows winter sports are
• 6:44
  going to run December 14th of December to February 20th.
• 6:47
  Best kind of its normal cycle. First contest starts on the
• 6:51
  20th, few days after Christmas, false Fortune, going to start
• 6:54
  the 15th and run a February and run through May first, we're
• 6:59
  going to overlap with the spring Sports.
• 7:02
  What you're going too far? April 12, through June 26th,
• 7:08
  that's usually a normal. Or Springport.
• 7:11
  Yeah. Um, Bond played D like what they
• 7:16
  did I like what they did a lot because it does keep the
• 7:20
  Integrity of having the sport played in the year because for a
• 7:24
  lot of these guys that play high school ball when you play high
• 7:29
  school ball, that's the last time you play that sport in an
• 7:32
  organized fashion so that level. So stepping away from it is a
• 7:37
  big deal and I I think this gives them an opportunity to
• 7:42
  still get some of that element even though you're not playing
• 7:46
  in the fall. And even though you're not
• 7:47
  playing the schedule that you would normally be playing in
• 7:49
  terms of the number of teams and things of that nature but it
• 7:52
  still gives you a chance to strap them up with your
• 7:55
  teammates one more time and go out the way you want to go out
• 7:58
  and not go out because, you know, pandemic said you couldn't
• 8:01
  play. So I think that's big.
• 8:04
  Most of the guys that are playing D1 Sports more than
• 8:07
  likely are opting out anyway. Especially under since we're not
• 8:13
  playing in the fall at all, if there were fall Sports, I think
• 8:16
  they, you know, they would play potentially depending on the
• 8:19
  situation but with it being moved completely out of the
• 8:23
  Fall, there's no way that I think that most of vision when
• 8:25
  athletes are going to play their senior year at this point, I
• 8:29
  could be wrong but I think that'll stand for at least the
• 8:31
  majority of power 5 players, if not most of division, 1 players.
• 8:35
  But this isn't this just doesn't bring up some opportunities for
• 8:38
  some of these other guys to maybe get a Look that they
• 8:40
  wouldn't have gotten otherwise, you got some fairly talented
• 8:45
  skilled position players that don't always get a lot of reps
• 8:49
  because there's a limited number.
• 8:51
  And you always want to get yours Town, two guys out there.
• 8:53
  So I think that's where an opportunity stands for a lot of
• 8:57
  these guys. Some of these skill position
• 8:59
  players showing what they have, so that can open up.
• 9:02
  So maybe D2 D3 opportunities for guys that otherwise thought that
• 9:06
  their High School careers might be done After High School.
• 9:10
  For their football, careers might be done After High School.
• 9:13
  Absolutely. You said it already, the guys
• 9:16
  who are going, do you want FPS at CES?
• 9:18
  They're probably not going to play and they should I'll be
• 9:21
  straight just because if they play the season would you know?
• 9:24
  It's technically going to be any pretty late spring.
• 9:27
  Then you talk about recoup and most of those guys whether it be
• 9:31
  fpses, they're heading to school in June they're starting.
• 9:36
  They're already starting the Collegiate workout plans then
• 9:38
  obviously You're normal. You're normal training pants.
• 9:44
  Yeah. So make sense for them.
• 9:46
  You made the perfect point, the guys who could be looked at D2
• 9:49
  D3 in AI. Those are the guys who benefit
• 9:53
  from this because it's like just go out there and play because
• 9:57
  now you think alike Jalen Jones down, Thomas Jefferson, or as
• 10:02
  there is a up that staff and they're probably not going to
• 10:04
  play, we have respect that certain completely, but now the
• 10:08
  guys behind them, Will get essentially probably truly an
• 10:12
  extra year to prove whether they be Juniors or seniors and you
• 10:15
  made that point, maybe that's the eye.
• 10:18
  They can't play the D1 level. They're, you know, they're not
• 10:20
  built. They don't have the skill, but
• 10:22
  your alma mater. The form of the three
• 10:26
  Randolph-Macon. Yep.
• 10:28
  You know, Virginia, Virginia state.
• 10:31
  Maybe that's the chance to get to go in there and say, hey,
• 10:33
  this is nice. You know, we wouldn't even
• 10:35
  thought about this because he was behind this guy.
• 10:39
  And this guy doesn't get all the rest.
• 10:40
  So I personally, I really like it and I like it that we're
• 10:45
  going to give the chance. You know, I'll say this, my
• 10:47
  neighbor behind me is son, plays basketball.
• 10:51
  We were so worried that they were going to completely cancel
• 10:54
  sport so he wouldn't get a single season.
• 10:56
  So I'm really happy for the kids that are going to get to play
• 10:58
  their senior seasons and maybe some kids who get opportunities,
• 11:02
  they would not have had, so it's pretty awesome.
• 11:07
  All right, so first we can do the big stuff now.
• 11:10
  Ron, you know, yesterday, mid-afternoon, it kind of
• 11:15
  happened, you know, go ahead, play the tape and give me your
• 11:19
  thoughts. After much consideration with my
• 11:26
  family, I have decided to opt out of the 2020 college football
• 11:29
  season and began preparing for the 2021 NFL draft.
• 11:33
  I am opting out, do the uncertain health, conditions,
• 11:35
  and regulations, and all the other opt-outs going on in
• 11:38
  football. Right now, I tragically lost my
• 11:41
  mother, Robin January 2nd 2018 to illness and I cannot afford
• 11:46
  to lose another parent or loved one.
• 11:49
  Do you competitor me? Badly wants to play this season?
• 11:53
  I cannot ignore what's going on in my heart and I must make the
• 11:55
  decision. That brings me the most peace.
• 11:58
  So thank you for joining Tech, my coaches teammates And anyone
• 12:03
  else who has supported me in the past.
• 12:06
  I wish you all the best and stay safe.
• 12:08
  God bless. Yes.
• 12:10
  That was else. Caleb Fairley opting out of his
• 12:14
  season at Virginia Tech for this fall to prepare for the draft.
• 12:18
  Most of that stemming from a weariness of not wanting to take
• 12:24
  the risk of being someone that would get someone else in his
• 12:28
  family's sick and you know respect that decision 100%.
• 12:33
  Especially for a guy that, you know, all of us have been
• 12:35
  talking about. We knew he was gone after this
• 12:37
  year, we knew it was coming and I understand with some of the
• 12:42
  things we're going to talk about in a few minutes and just
• 12:45
  everything going on in the uncertainty of, you know, are
• 12:48
  the protocols of the Evan play. Something that's going to be
• 12:51
  good enough to keep everyone safe. 100%.
• 12:55
  Respect the decision on top of not wanting to maybe injure
• 13:00
  yourself in these unknown circumstances and you hurt Are
• 13:03
  your dress talking that way. Definitely want to make sure
• 13:06
  that you're taking care of those around you that you love.
• 13:08
  So respected, 100% and wish him nothing but the best and just
• 13:15
  hope he does. Well with that with the training
• 13:17
  leading up to the draft. What do you think buddy?
• 13:19
  Yeah man. Um the reason he give was you
• 13:23
  can't question that the guy lost his mom less than two years ago
• 13:27
  and a battle with cancer. He's got his dad and I think the
• 13:30
  first thing he thinks about is gone.
• 13:33
  To play. Yeah, but I've got my dad.
• 13:37
  He's probably gonna be the only person here every week, coming
• 13:40
  to all my games watching me and we have protocols in place.
• 13:45
  We see it like from today, you saw the Phillies, right?
• 13:50
  Yep. They haven't been around Marlins
• 13:53
  since Sunday and into guys just tested positive today who's not
• 13:57
  to say, you know, we're playing pit and they tested fine.
• 14:03
  And they would bubble. But then a couple days later,
• 14:05
  will somebody not feeling right? And I think for him, it's he's
• 14:08
  got his dad, and he's looking ahead to the Future saying.
• 14:12
  I'm going to go to the NFL next year.
• 14:16
  I'm going to have my family set for life.
• 14:19
  This is an unmitigated risk. I'm not willing to take, not so
• 14:24
  much horrible. Maybe getting hurt or something,
• 14:26
  but potentially get someone in my family safe, I have no issues
• 14:31
  with it. Nobody Fuse.
• 14:34
  You know, you see the video and Chef turned everything when it
• 14:37
  broke. You could tell it was a very
• 14:39
  emotional decision for him. He, you know, gave a shout out
• 14:42
  to a teammate, shouts, who the coaches attack.
• 14:45
  So I have no issue with it. It is kind of funny, Brian.
• 14:51
  Guess who is now the number one rated quarterback for the ACC
• 14:56
  that beat your pain Waller? Oh yeah.
• 15:00
  Well, so you need a hokey. It's out.
• 15:03
  And then we've got another hokey as the number one corner in the
• 15:06
  conference DB, who D bu, oh, yeah and Armani Chapman out of
• 15:16
  200, true freshman that have played enough snaps last year
• 15:19
  was the number 9. True freshman Corner in the
• 15:22
  country. In that department.
• 15:24
  We was Caleb all the best but Brian is I was sitting there in
• 15:28
  that announcement was made. David feel, you know, the
• 15:33
  Virginia Hall of Fame Rider pops out.
• 15:35
  I think we got something coming down soon.
• 15:37
  And when Kayla made his, he made that tweet.
• 15:41
  I got put two and two together real quick.
• 15:42
  I shot you a text dude. It's happening today.
• 15:44
  Yep. It was like yep.
• 15:47
  They stole the coaches, the coaches.
• 15:49
  It filled and players K. Omega is about.
• 15:52
  You put everybody in public. So folks, we are here the ACC
• 15:58
  yesterday. Essentially.
• 16:01
  Least its guidelines for the fall, including the ACC football
• 16:05
  schedule and some schedules, you know, because I'm not only
• 16:09
  personal couch, I give credit to the conference for outlining
• 16:12
  that because they want to give those guys a chance to play too.
• 16:14
  But were you shot Bronte that they released yesterday when
• 16:21
  everything up that yesterday was saying that they're not going to
• 16:23
  release anything today was a little shot just because I
• 16:29
  thought they were still some Kinks to iron out.
• 16:32
  It was what it sounded like and then all of a sudden everything
• 16:36
  was good. I'm wondering if and we'll get
• 16:39
  to that issue later but I'm wondering if the the plus one
• 16:43
  format was the the equivalent part of the the deal that was
• 16:48
  being made especially in relation to what the SEC
• 16:52
  ultimately came out with later. So I'm wondering if that was the
• 16:56
  the big thing there. But it's really interesting
• 16:58
  seeing what they came out with here, it was Was.
• 17:02
  Not what we were. I think thinking I think a lot
• 17:05
  of us were kind of maybe leaning towards a pod situation through
• 17:11
  up until you know, maybe the last few days and all of a
• 17:13
  sudden we get a different format so this does create some more
• 17:18
  interesting matchups. I think.
• 17:21
  But it does not come with its without its controversy so once
• 17:26
  you pick up with some of that as well oh yeah Matt not well let's
• 17:29
  let's just start on. Let's go with the dates.
• 17:32
  Because I want everybody to kind of know the succession of
• 17:36
  things. You know, further release is the
• 17:40
  schedule, start the week of September 7th through 12th
• 17:43
  September 7 is Labor Day night. I think they specifically did
• 17:46
  that. I think they need to get that
• 17:48
  national game on not guarantee but I think they're going to try
• 17:52
  to maybe get one. Maybe two you know Labor Day.
• 17:56
  We hey let's play at 3:30 in a 730.
• 17:58
  Screw it. Let's get some national
• 17:59
  publicity. You know, and maybe even that
• 18:04
  week maybe they even spread a couple more out a to make less
• 18:08
  the easier on the travel schedule.
• 18:10
  Baby was due on Thursday. Let's do one Friday.
• 18:12
  Let's get the rest done on that Saturday.
• 18:16
  I see that but right now it's 13 weeks for 11 games, the ACC
• 18:21
  Championship would either be December 12th, or December 19.
• 18:26
  That is something very interesting that they didn't set
• 18:29
  that date. That is a a week after where it
• 18:34
  normally would be one to two weeks after.
• 18:37
  So that makes me raise my eyebrows.
• 18:39
  So what do you think about the layout of the dates right now
• 18:41
  Braun before we get into the format and some of the other
• 18:44
  stuff, the layout of the dates are telling me that they're not
• 18:47
  sure what they're doing with the bowls. 100% right there, right
• 18:52
  away, I'm thinking that other than probably the major bowls.
• 18:59
  Very good. Be no bowls this year.
• 19:01
  That would be my guess just looking at those dates and
• 19:04
  looking at you know I will get to it later but you know, even
• 19:08
  even other conferences starting later than we are.
• 19:11
  Yeah. So I definitely think that we're
• 19:14
  looking at maybe taking anything, not at least December
• 19:20
  28th or later off the table. In terms of bowls.
• 19:24
  I don't know what you're thinking about that.
• 19:25
  Scheduled that that was my first take away seeing these these
• 19:28
  days. Throughout their well, I think,
• 19:31
  maybe with the bowl, maybe not, you know, five months is a long
• 19:36
  time away. Might you tell me?
• 19:38
  The vaccine comes down to November.
• 19:40
  There will be bold. I don't even doubt that one bit,
• 19:44
  but to me, I think it's more of their, it's almost like they're
• 19:48
  saying you things happen, and we have to cancel a game.
• 19:52
  Let's go. Pin not born.
• 19:54
  We've already got two. Bye weeks, let's go over a few
• 19:57
  more fun for weeks. When something does happen and
• 20:00
  let's say, they can't wait, could we had an outbreak to you
• 20:05
  after school? Well, if we need that game, we
• 20:08
  now have a proper built into where we can say.
• 20:11
  Hey, you guys are cleaned up now.
• 20:13
  You're straight, here's the deal.
• 20:18
  You're going to play on the 12th?
• 20:20
  Are you going to play on the 5th to make up this game?
• 20:23
  And we're going to see what happens do it.
• 20:25
  If we need extra games, we can have them too.
• 20:28
  I think. You talk about the bowls, I just
• 20:30
  see. Now they've built themselves in.
• 20:33
  It's a 13-week, these but nothing else a 15-week season,
• 20:35
  because of how much they defended it.
• 20:37
  Yeah. And I think what they were
• 20:39
  saying, what I was trying to say, I guess is they built
• 20:42
  themselves that buffer. They're valuing the regular
• 20:44
  season over having to get the bowls at?
• 20:47
  All right. I think that's important.
• 20:48
  Oh God. And if you think about it, I
• 20:50
  believe with the ACC 19th is usually the first weekend of
• 20:54
  old. The ACC is not affiliated with
• 20:57
  any of those bowls. They simply stop really doesn't
• 21:00
  start until the end of the next week going into Christmas and
• 21:03
  definitely after Christmas because you know you've got
• 21:06
  Independence Bowl Pinstripe Bowl.
• 21:08
  They are always right after Christmas.
• 21:14
  So I think that's right but I think they're just trying to
• 21:16
  build in some safety precautions and that's fine.
• 21:18
  And that's what you've got to do if you're going to try to get
• 21:20
  this even in this crazy time I have no issue with.
• 21:25
  So you mentioned it already, let's jump to it the format it
• 21:29
  is Ten Conference games, it is one out of conference game.
• 21:33
  We have no divisions, no divisions the revisions, the two
• 21:40
  top teams, Will mean the ACC Championship Game including
• 21:45
  Notre Dame including editor Dame, I'm fine with that.
• 21:48
  I say it half-heartedly, I'm fine with it because it's a lot
• 21:52
  more exposure for the conference and some, you know, money money
• 21:58
  money. We'll get to that a few minutes
• 21:59
  to. So they're going to play this in
• 22:02
  conference games. Now, you do see, you have some
• 22:05
  normal divisional matchups what will see every year but some are
• 22:09
  canceled The most notable for Virginia Tech is there is no
• 22:15
  Georgia Tech game. Rick no Ramblin wreck from
• 22:19
  Georgia Tech. Still, one of my best
• 22:21
  experiences was when we beat that ass and 05 with game day,
• 22:25
  shout out to my fraternity, Brother.
• 22:27
  David few could have got us tickets and we went up there.
• 22:30
  Did the whole experience unbelievable.
• 22:33
  Um, but we don't play Georgia Tech, okay?
• 22:37
  I don't think that's any love was.
• 22:38
  I don't think anybody's upset about that.
• 22:42
  But you kind of seen some funky things you know we're not the
• 22:46
  only ones affected, a few other teams aren't playing some
• 22:48
  traditional things. They play on their side of the
• 22:51
  divisions, but I think we all get it for this year now.
• 22:56
  What are you saying? I mean, did any other did
• 22:58
  anything else like jump out to you or do you think they got
• 23:01
  enough of the big games right to where it's like okay we all
• 23:05
  stored you take this team all set and I think they got the big
• 23:08
  ones right? If I had any qualms with the
• 23:11
  Schedule. I would have probably replaced
• 23:15
  since it was I think they were both scheduled as home games.
• 23:18
  Anyway, replaced Boston College of Georgia Tech, okay.
• 23:22
  That would have been my last, my change because travel wise, it's
• 23:25
  about the same. I would say give or take for
• 23:29
  them. I think we're still playing
• 23:31
  Boston College, though. That's insane.
• 23:33
  I would trade it. I would apply whether playing
• 23:34
  for detective Bowen versus BC at home because the traveling for
• 23:38
  each team would probably about the same.
• 23:40
  Yeah. The BC coming down to us,
• 23:44
  Georgia Tech coming up to us, that, that would have been my
• 23:47
  trade off there. I care more about the Georgia
• 23:50
  Tech robbery than I do about BC short of a few years of Matt,
• 23:55
  Ryan. No one really gives Has a shit
• 23:57
  about BC author game that every text and he's like, we gotta
• 24:02
  play them. Like what was your in the babies
• 24:05
  together? Yeah.
• 24:10
  Again it didn't really wasn't a matchup, they really heated up
• 24:13
  that much until both teams are in the ACC Braun.
• 24:20
  We look at there is right now. Vacc, currently has on the
• 24:23
  table. I put in are quotations.
• 24:25
  A plus one. That opponent.
• 24:28
  It must be played in the home state of the ACC school.
• 24:31
  It must be metal requirements. They must be familiar with the
• 24:34
  requirements protocol step by the ATT.
• 24:37
  So, in essence, what it's saying is, there will be no out of
• 24:39
  conference away games or neutral site game.
• 24:41
  So UVA gets lucky, they don't have to play Georgia unc's
• 24:45
  lucky, they don't have to play Auburn, you know.
• 24:52
  They have to bring the ACC protocol which I think it's it
• 24:55
  is a whether it's a P5, or an independent or an FCS school,
• 24:59
  they're going to agree because it's money on the table for
• 25:02
  them. It's also more or less the same
• 25:04
  protocols that they're probably going through in their
• 25:06
  conference anyway. Exactly my gut says most teams
• 25:11
  are just going to find someone and their state very close
• 25:13
  neighbor that will fulfill this need.
• 25:17
  I think we're just going to keep Liberty, I really do unless they
• 25:21
  do not abide by Our protocols, which might be the case?
• 25:23
  Because, you know, they've already done some stupid crap
• 25:26
  down there. What do you think you think?
• 25:30
  Would you? Well, would you stay with
• 25:32
  liberty or we? I think a lot of want depend on
• 25:36
  the contract language and whether that contract language
• 25:39
  applies to, since we are playing and out of conference game and
• 25:44
  they meet the qualifications, is that agreement still something
• 25:48
  that we would need to honor? I would think not.
• 25:53
  Just based on everything else. But again, there's some
• 25:56
  contractual things that I'm not privy to.
• 25:58
  So, I'm not going to speak with any Authority on that.
• 26:03
  That being said, I think there may be better options out there
• 26:08
  that are less controversial in terms of the larger fan base and
• 26:14
  not just the political aspects of it.
• 26:16
  I guess so, I mean, I have no problem with keeping Liberty on
• 26:21
  their it, If especially, if that's the path of least
• 26:25
  resistance. But I wouldn't mind seeing
• 26:28
  adding either ODU back in there or getting a j mu or someone
• 26:31
  like that on the schedule as well.
• 26:33
  So, I could really go any Direction with that as long as
• 26:37
  we play in Lane, that's all that really matters to me.
• 26:40
  That is all that really matters. I also think this is one of
• 26:43
  those caveat, I think it's things were to change.
• 26:46
  I think they would cut this out quick.
• 26:47
  I think they would cut the plus one quick, and yeah, that's the
• 26:50
  easiest one to get rid of and it, All you do is just turn that
• 26:53
  into an extra openly. Exactly.
• 26:58
  And you know, I don't really care who it is.
• 27:01
  I think right now most technical to get out of the Liberty idea
• 27:04
  because they feel like it's becoming a dangerous.
• 27:06
  Probably gonna become an ECU deal, which do again, you don't
• 27:10
  want to happen. So, yeah.
• 27:13
  Now so we got the date. We got the format column, let's
• 27:19
  call money and television, because if The reason this is
• 27:22
  happening with Notre Dame is become because there ain't no
• 27:27
  doubt that one of the biggest keys and getting this deal.
• 27:30
  Done was getting Notre Dame, they are not sharing part.
• 27:32
  They are sharing all of their NBC money.
• 27:35
  Equal pi equals pi and other various sources.
• 27:39
  Because remember, they get, they have some additional things
• 27:42
  where they pull funds in from that.
• 27:43
  No other team is available. Now since we really don't know
• 27:50
  the Notre Dame, On track with in DC, we really can't have a
• 27:54
  calculated. Some people like also want to
• 27:55
  like 15 million a year, which I call bullshit on.
• 27:58
  I think it's a hell of a lot more because if you look at that
• 28:01
  contract, that apparently was in grains about 10 years ago, some
• 28:05
  15 million. You do some of the other mess,
• 28:07
  like this team would not be doing this.
• 28:11
  If they were 10 to 12 million behind in Revenue, they wouldn't
• 28:15
  know when stay independent would make physical sense.
• 28:19
  But now, all of you is all the resources into a pot, chapter 15
• 28:24
  ways. In the any, any, any qualms,
• 28:30
  any, any questions you have about that?
• 28:34
  I mean, I'll, I like that as a kind of made culpa for letting
• 28:40
  your guys potentially play for the fucking ACC Championship
• 28:43
  game. If you've got to have a
• 28:47
  trade-off, that's a hell of a good trade-off, in a season of
• 28:51
  pandemic, where, a lot of these athletic departments are
• 28:53
  hemorrhaging Money. Hold on.
• 28:55
  Brad, what you're saying? This is what I'm sure.
• 28:58
  The dacc commit, the ACC 80s looked at swarbrick in the guys
• 29:03
  at Notre Dame. And what do you think?
• 29:05
  They said, fuck, you pay me. Yes, we had a slip, once you
• 29:12
  slip that in there. That's what they said.
• 29:14
  So that's exactly what went down and you know, good for them for
• 29:20
  for putting pressure on there and saying hey if you want to be
• 29:26
  a part of this conference, During this thing and
• 29:28
  potentially play for our conference Championship, you
• 29:30
  need to come up off some of that green that you're sitting on
• 29:33
  there. And like you said, there's a
• 29:35
  reason that they've been able to maintain Independence, it's not
• 29:39
  just that they I mean I'm sure they do have, they have donors
• 29:42
  at the Wazoo. They've got this that and the
• 29:44
  other that funds, our Athletic program, but there's no way that
• 29:47
  they're making their least making by themselves.
• 29:51
  What an individual ACC team is making in media dollars.
• 29:54
  So, just adding that into the pot and spreading Round is going
• 29:58
  to be nice. Yep.
• 30:00
  And I'm sure they're probably making more than that especially
• 30:02
  with all the other avenues that you were speaking on.
• 30:04
  So I think it's a good idea. I guess the other part of this
• 30:10
  whole money thing is and we haven't really addressed this
• 30:12
  yet, is we've seen some waffling from like the dude's and you
• 30:20
  know Bronco Mendenhall making a statement the other day about,
• 30:24
  you know, things, you know. The players and things like
• 30:28
  that. So, you know, should have Team
• 30:30
  opted out what's going to happen with this money Curtis in the
• 30:34
  school. I felt I almost want to be like
• 30:36
  as the other teams that are there.
• 30:38
  They fuck you, pay us. I don't think that will happen.
• 30:42
  I don't think they will have to give up their full share, but if
• 30:44
  it seemed awesome, I think you're gonna see the commit, the
• 30:48
  commissioner along with the other dadss.
• 30:50
  Say, listen, they don't have to nail fund a football team.
• 30:56
  For the, for the operational expenses scholarships, but you
• 31:00
  pay your coaches, that's like, no, that's different.
• 31:02
  Well, let's not even go there. I think they'll probably have to
• 31:05
  give up half. I think that would probably be
• 31:08
  something where it says, if you choose to opt out, this is what
• 31:12
  you're getting. The rest.
• 31:13
  Were putting back into the pot, we'll split it equally and guess
• 31:17
  what, let's freeze their half of the normally see or half of the
• 31:23
  a cc, and BCC combined pie. Everything everything.
• 31:27
  So what's your will be from like, for example, let's say,
• 31:32
  let's say you put Notre, Dame's money in and it comes up to 30
• 31:34
  million. Because last year, I think the
• 31:36
  ACC was a 27 and you just say, give or take Notre Dame's maybe
• 31:40
  roughly third and you just basically say you're going to
• 31:44
  get 15 fun with you need to find the other 15, the other million
• 31:48
  other 15 is going back to the other schools that are playing
• 31:52
  because you you but what you're doing is you're losing your
• 31:54
  rights because this is Supposed to be too fun, your football
• 31:57
  tape of the expenses and all the stuff you're up and out, you're
• 32:01
  not playing personally. I think it was some of that some
• 32:05
  of those statements were pandering and, you know, you can
• 32:09
  be concerned. We're all concerned, you know
• 32:11
  about what's going on. Yeah, I don't think anyone's
• 32:14
  taking this lightly. No, and we see that statements
• 32:18
  just like, dude, come on, nobody's taking this lightly,
• 32:23
  nobody's taking this lightly. You look at The protocols or
• 32:26
  they're going place, it would not surprise me if in the next.
• 32:29
  What do we six weeks away from first weekend kick?
• 32:32
  Yeah, surprise me at all. But they eventually said, maybe
• 32:36
  two three weeks. When out, listen you got to
• 32:37
  figure out a bubble for your players.
• 32:42
  Talk with your academic. Thanks and say they're going to
• 32:44
  all be online. They're basically going to be
• 32:47
  the class here inside your athletic Building train yada
• 32:49
  yada back home almost away. What's happening with major
• 32:54
  league baseball in the NFL, it's going to be on the The Players
• 32:58
  personal responsibility to not go out with guys.
• 33:01
  Don't go to cots. Don't go to Sharky.
• 33:03
  Stay away from Fraternity, Row, House Parties.
• 33:07
  You can do that next semester. Actually you should be careful
• 33:13
  with it next semester as well even if we have stuff because
• 33:15
  you know there's still things out there but that's my thought.
• 33:20
  My first goal will be give them nothing but then realistically
• 33:24
  you know moderate me says you got to give them something
• 33:26
  because it does fund other sports.
• 33:29
  Yeah I mean I think I'm wearing the they get 50% of what they
• 33:34
  would have gotten under a normal season and the Notre Dame money
• 33:38
  gets split over just the Teams that are actually playing.
• 33:42
  So I don't think they should be entitled to the Notre Dame money
• 33:45
  because they're opting out of a system and that included the
• 33:48
  other day and said, the system wouldn't exist without their
• 33:51
  names of you're opting out of that system you opt out of their
• 33:53
  money. The problem right now, some
• 33:56
  milk, that's interesting is the TV because, you know, really for
• 34:02
  Notre Dame in their contract, it's normally they get all their
• 34:05
  home games on the only Envy but with this, I mean, do you think
• 34:11
  I feel like that's all could possibly change?
• 34:13
  Because you're talking about, depending on the way it looking
• 34:17
  G5 school like Conference. USA said they're basically
• 34:21
  playing in a game schedule this year.
• 34:22
  I think one out of conference in state very similar to the ACC
• 34:26
  guidelines, so there still will be a lot of football, you know,
• 34:31
  but the way I kind of see it is, if they do this, you know, we're
• 34:36
  avoiding them. So it doesn't affect tect, but,
• 34:40
  you know, until the ACC Championship game.
• 34:42
  But I think you're going to see them get a couple of away games.
• 34:46
  I think they're going to get if they choose to go.
• 34:49
  If you have the pics true games there and let's say we the out
• 34:52
  of conference days. Yeah.
• 34:54
  I think it will be looked at at least one or two of their away
• 34:58
  games, because the conference could be putting stress and say,
• 35:05
  we're going to put this on them because, you know, they play
• 35:07
  Florida State. Let's say Norville gets more
• 35:11
  estate in the right direction. That's a midseason game.
• 35:14
  Their Korean won Notre Dame's for of.
• 35:17
  Yeah, you don't if it's down at FSU and I've got to go look at
• 35:20
  the calendar to see where that game is.
• 35:22
  I believe that everything you ever, she's actually a home game
• 35:26
  for them. So here's what I would think and
• 35:30
  I'll throw this out there to you, okay?
• 35:33
  So they're away games RBC Georgia, Tech UNC pit and Wake
• 35:37
  Forest. I can see.
• 35:39
  See ACC flexes muscles and saying fuck you you're not
• 35:45
  playing UNC your pit on NBC, but will give you a b c or Wake,
• 35:49
  Forest? I want.
• 35:51
  You say you're saying they're going to try to flex their
• 35:53
  muscle, on their home game. They're making a big games.
• 35:57
  I got you a doorway. So they season say, you can
• 36:00
  place them away games on your NBC contract, but those big
• 36:04
  gains that you're playing a way, they're going to be on the SEC
• 36:07
  network. Yeah, I got ya.
• 36:08
  I got what you're Saying though that makes that makes a lot of
• 36:12
  sense like the smaller games in there.
• 36:14
  But the pit the you and these who are projected to be, you
• 36:17
  know, pretty good this year. Not, we're making sure they're
• 36:20
  going to be on the ACC agreed with that.
• 36:24
  So it will be interesting to see how that works.
• 36:26
  That's probably a lot of legal stuff that involves a lot of
• 36:29
  lawyers. So yeah man.
• 36:32
  But either way, you know, The next piece to kind of look at is
• 36:39
  we're doing this money look straight or mat straight bait
• 36:43
  straight behind our buddy. John Earl, the fourth
• 36:51
  hampden-sydney Alum as you're settled sir, Jr.
• 36:54
  Yours for he set us up with the the mileage chart and Virginia
• 37:02
  Tech. Well, we are the low balls here.
• 37:05
  Pretty much maxed out. Evelyn.
• 37:06
  Basically this is by John did it by flight.
• 37:10
  So basically if you fly from here to here, text only
• 37:13
  traveling 135 miles for the all of their way games significant.
• 37:18
  Now, you kind of look across the Spectrum, it makes sense to your
• 37:23
  larger ones are. It's Miami, it's FSU and it's
• 37:28
  BC. Yep Miami is by his calculations
• 37:33
  traveling. The farthest 13 over 13. 100 Mi
• 37:37
  bici it. 2700 take that back. Notre Dame also 2,700 but then
• 37:43
  these kind of start is starts compressing more and more and
• 37:45
  you kind of see it for like BC Miami.
• 37:49
  They don't they have maybe one drivable game, it's be see if
• 37:53
  they want to bust down a Syracuse.
• 37:54
  It's Miami if they want bus over to Tallahassee and that's still
• 37:57
  about an 8 or 10 hour drive but you kind of look at it and you
• 38:00
  got the data in front of you there.
• 38:02
  It's it's actually kind of Louisville set across.
• 38:05
  I'm Yes, we get the favorable one because, you know, like UVA
• 38:09
  for example, has traveled over 2,000 miles.
• 38:11
  We're honestly the outlier, like, we already a good amount.
• 38:15
  Yeah. Everything else is kind of like
• 38:17
  1,200, it above like so there's there's a big difference just as
• 38:21
  the starting point there. And, you know, it helps to
• 38:26
  things helped us in this case. So, the biggest one is that
• 38:31
  we're in the traditional ACC footprint from jump, so, So,
• 38:36
  right away, we're, I have less traveled by default than some of
• 38:40
  the other teams that were added later, especially the BCS, and
• 38:43
  the Florida teams. So that helped us number two.
• 38:48
  The fact that on our original schedule, we were already
• 38:51
  playing some of our longest competitors at home.
• 38:57
  Like I see like Miami. Yeah.
• 39:00
  So they just kind of put those into the schedule.
• 39:03
  So really we're looking at like What pit in Louisville is our
• 39:09
  biggest, our biggest travel games.
• 39:11
  Yeah, that's it. And everything else is in the,
• 39:14
  the Carolina region. So and Wake Forest is obviously
• 39:19
  just a hop skip and a jump away. We can legitimately did three of
• 39:25
  our awakens. We can drive you Carolina and
• 39:28
  wake. Get in the bus, boys.
• 39:30
  Let's get down. 81. Yep, let's go.
• 39:35
  We have If they're letting people in the stadium, if
• 39:37
  they're letting people in the stadium, yeah, which they
• 39:40
  haven't gotten to that point yet, in terms of Lisa conference
• 39:43
  level guideline, which I don't think they're going to do,
• 39:45
  because certain states are going to have certain rules.
• 39:48
  It's going to be hard to have a blanket policy.
• 39:52
  Like, they might set a ceiling. They might set a ceiling but
• 39:55
  yeah, I'm not going to set a floor.
• 39:57
  Yeah, what will the interesting with that?
• 40:00
  And this this is we haven't discussed it yet.
• 40:03
  It wasn't even on the agenda but Think would what's got to happen
• 40:07
  is? Now that it's set is once a few
• 40:11
  other things, get protocols, get in place.
• 40:14
  My bet is each and every one of these 80s and the presidents are
• 40:19
  probably going to go to their state Governor and like request
• 40:22
  a special, we want to special waiver regardless because here
• 40:29
  it is, you know, maintaining 66,000 people.
• 40:34
  Open air. There's no there.
• 40:37
  We can effectively social distance, Double 12 feet.
• 40:41
  We would like to put 15,000 20,000 people in here.
• 40:44
  We're going to thankfully social distance we're going to require
• 40:47
  and if you I think they're going to go through the political
• 40:50
  route and you know, go to the governor's, you know, Carolina
• 40:54
  you call these places going to be exact same thing.
• 40:56
  This is how many we'd like and wait for the approval because
• 41:00
  they could go with. Let's go with the high number
• 41:02
  twenty-three thousand, Katie 23. We looked at Yeah.
• 41:05
  But you can do 15 boom, cool ride with us and you know then
• 41:11
  obviously the logistical people in the ticket offices are going
• 41:14
  to that crazy figuring out who gets to exactly.
• 41:17
  I think what they'll end up doing is something like if you
• 41:19
  said 20,000 would be the Benchmark.
• 41:23
  Yeah you go, you go. Every other row.
• 41:25
  Yes. Eating people.
• 41:26
  And then you go to seats between any block of seats sold.
• 41:31
  Yeah. The CD follow, I did
• 41:33
  measurements seats are. 38 and a half inches.
• 41:38
  If so, if you put two seats between a block of tickets sold,
• 41:40
  you've got your six foot social distancing between your parties.
• 41:44
  You get exactly. And then clearly from 111 row to
• 41:48
  another is clearly more than 60 plus.
• 41:50
  You're talking about, you're looking at the back of someone,
• 41:53
  not the front of someone that's got to be figured out.
• 41:57
  I'm hoping they will allow fans in if they don't I won't be
• 42:01
  shot. I won't be upset either but that
• 42:03
  kind of is what it is. I mean we're starting to get
• 42:05
  used to that with some of the sports were watching at
• 42:09
  Especially if I Lakers up 8:47. Worry.
• 42:13
  I look to the left, right? As I was talking about it.
• 42:15
  I was like, okay, there we go. 39, I like it.
• 42:18
  It's start watching the baseball game scene.
• 42:21
  No one there. It's kind of awkward to see in
• 42:23
  the cardboard cutouts but you kind of get used to it.
• 42:28
  And the funny piece is a lot of these guys in all these forfeit
• 42:32
  play to empty places before. Yeah.
• 42:35
  Come on. Leave until you like we just get
• 42:37
  in the zone. We Couldn't tell you what's
• 42:38
  going on outside, the field of play because that's the way
• 42:42
  they're built. I mean, especially when you talk
• 42:45
  about baseball being some of these, you know, these Podunk
• 42:48
  single a teams, oh God, but played a game in the middle of
• 42:52
  the week. They're used to playing to like
• 42:55
  100 fans and I mean, it's probably not that different than
• 42:59
  when you're looking at. Now, let me say this, the the
• 43:03
  bro-in-law we had a conversation about it and he said the way it
• 43:07
  looks, Is the way it reminded him of perfect games.
• 43:10
  You've heard a perfect game, right?
• 43:11
  Like yeah, he said, that's the way it's going to feel and he's
• 43:15
  like the guys who play in the Major League level.
• 43:19
  He's like every single one of those guys play a perfect game.
• 43:21
  Oh, so they're they've been used to being, you know, in a stadium
• 43:25
  with no one there barely just your family.
• 43:28
  Maybe maybe, you know, 100 people in a 40,000 see Stadium.
• 43:32
  He's like but could but we're built that way.
• 43:34
  Were built the focus on the game.
• 43:35
  Not the crowd. So yeah.
• 43:37
  Brian. And you know, is crazy as this
• 43:42
  here. Is there some crazy good
• 43:47
  matchups that now because of all this craziness we stumbled into
• 43:51
  now. Virginia Tech you know tell
• 43:54
  everybody we tell them the normal but the normals we aren't
• 43:58
  seeing the three teams All right, so obviously, we don't
• 44:06
  have Georgia Tech. We've already talked about them.
• 44:10
  Yeah, the one that we added though.
• 44:12
  Oh, the one, the one, the big one, the big one.
• 44:18
  Clemson you ever heard of them? Oh God.
• 44:20
  Yeah. Then we also talked about
• 44:25
  Georgia Tech dropping off, but we added in NC State which is
• 44:27
  kind of, I think a fairly even swap in terms of skill level, I
• 44:33
  think Georgia Tech or is kind of trending up.
• 44:35
  Once he stayed is trending down. NC State, maybe has a couple
• 44:40
  more guys talented on the roster right now but I think they're
• 44:44
  floundering and they're very anemic offensively, he's just
• 44:47
  like Georgia Tech so I don't think that's a big, big
• 44:53
  difference in the trade-off there and easier travel easier.
• 44:58
  Travel, you know, I mean, those are the two big ones there.
• 45:04
  Now, we kept Louisville, which left Louisville is very nice,
• 45:08
  that they are trending up. Satterfield's got them going.
• 45:11
  I'm in the right direction, you know, and we get wake again
• 45:16
  again, local, there they're sorted down with Jamie Newman.
• 45:21
  Transferring Always good defense.
• 45:23
  That would Clausen. So I mean, I like the way you
• 45:29
  put some my fault, we traded Penn State to Clemson.
• 45:32
  Okay, we lost that trade, I'm sorry, Clemson.
• 45:34
  It better and stays busy better team than not.
• 45:37
  Not just talent wise. But yeah, looking top to bottom
• 45:40
  even though I'm no disrespect their to anybody, on Penn
• 45:44
  State's tab, but never got it wrong.
• 45:47
  He's dead. We tried to NC State for Georgia
• 45:49
  Tech, as you mentioned, even swap, Louisville was on the
• 45:53
  schedule. Anyway, we're going to play them
• 45:55
  and essentially we traded wake for Middle, Tennessee, North
• 45:59
  Alabama. Yeah.
• 46:00
  For to lower lower. Also ran things that we really
• 46:06
  all there were on our schedule, so I think we made out.
• 46:09
  Okay, but, you know, couple from other schools didn't, but I've
• 46:15
  just been looking and you think about, they got it set.
• 46:19
  I'm sure there's someone in the ACC office in.
• 46:22
  Greensboro because yes, you got Clemson DT.
• 46:26
  It's down at Lane. Whether they have whether they
• 46:29
  have fangs or not. That's a big game.
• 46:33
  What about comes and plays? Miami constant plays Notre Dame?
• 46:40
  Yeah. UNC gets FSU Norville endures
• 46:44
  first year. You can see also, business
• 46:47
  entertain. Let me for this one at you.
• 46:50
  Yeah, it's Syracuse's away schedule.
• 46:53
  Limited Syracuse's away, schedule.
• 46:55
  Let me go, I'll write it down for you, buddy.
• 46:58
  Running guy puts it away, Louisville away, UNC away, Notre
• 47:02
  Dame away, get away. They're not winning an away
• 47:06
  game. There was nobody sees it had a
• 47:08
  pretty brutal away schedule. Was it uba?
• 47:11
  Uba isn't great, Clemson, FSU, Miami, Virginia Tech, Wake
• 47:16
  Forest. Well, I'm great Bob not great at
• 47:22
  all. And they still have to play a
• 47:24
  couple tough home games as well with Louisville and you and see,
• 47:28
  oh my God. So you be a guy that screwed in
• 47:31
  the way Syracuse just got. They just put Syracuse in the
• 47:35
  trashcan. Dumpster like you don't really
• 47:37
  care about you, just go Syracuse, you can opt out
• 47:39
  because any to any road trip, you're taking you're losing, you
• 47:42
  can take that out, you want then it's not only going to take the
• 47:46
  other. They might take to you about
• 47:47
  three to four touchdowns and every gain even bit but let me
• 47:51
  get back because that's hilarious.
• 47:53
  All right, so then Louisville, Miami pit Clemson.
• 47:56
  And that's cool. You see that being a war pit
• 47:58
  Notre Dame. I mean, this is probably some of
• 48:02
  the best stuff that's come out of the schedule is.
• 48:04
  Is because you have an everybody play.
• 48:08
  Each other, you're seeing more highlighted matchups.
• 48:11
  Now I'm hoping the ACC doesn't screw the pooch and like force
• 48:16
  like or oblique through these games in one weekend like dear
• 48:19
  God does no no no, spread these things out while we crawled from
• 48:24
  our crossing, our fingers. Hoping to God.
• 48:26
  There's a season. So we can have, like, all been,
• 48:30
  that's what is technically and noon.
• 48:32
  Well, that's the best to 7:00 kick.
• 48:34
  That's the game. I'm going to be on.
• 48:37
  So that's like, I don't know. It's one of these things and,
• 48:42
  you know, you know, if you mention the SEC and that just
• 48:46
  broke this afternoon, as we were like getting everything
• 48:49
  together, it's gonna be interesting to see that 10 team
• 48:52
  schedule to which I'm sure when they were released who's playing
• 48:55
  who. Probably next few days, we'll
• 48:57
  probably get it on the next. Podcast.
• 48:59
  But Brian we're like, hey cross our fingers reason.
• 49:04
  I don't care if there's anything as you're not, please, let us
• 49:06
  Outta season. There are some matchups that I
• 49:08
  want to see. Oh yeah, oh yeah, big time some
• 49:12
  not including us. It's going to be some really
• 49:15
  good matchups and I think I know we'll talk about it some more
• 49:20
  here. When we talk about our ideal,
• 49:23
  look at how these games are going to be arranged on the
• 49:26
  schedule. But you know, I'm, I'm looking
• 49:29
  at this and I wouldn't have a problem going to a 9, or a 10
• 49:35
  game conference schedule, going forward, Alma, and just getting
• 49:40
  rid of the divisions and trying to balance the schedule as best
• 49:44
  you can every year so that no one's getting completely diction
• 49:48
  and like, Syracuse and UVA. I mean, I'd be down for that
• 49:55
  just because you know, some of these guys, I mean, as much as,
• 49:59
  you know, having a couple games with The lower ticket.
• 50:02
  Price is nice. Yes.
• 50:05
  Getting into Tech, especially the September Games, getting
• 50:09
  into the lane. And, you know, crushing an
• 50:11
  opponent, I would much rather add maybe one high-profile
• 50:15
  opponent a year. And maybe one more like Wake
• 50:17
  Forest, I'll opponent. That's, you know, across the
• 50:22
  divisions that we've been playing traditionally and this
• 50:25
  have added a new 10 because you know, that's, that's to me,
• 50:29
  that's much more compelling than any of those non conference.
• 50:31
  Games and especially for able to work in something with you know
• 50:36
  we're talking about these additional additional weeks in
• 50:40
  the schedule. I don't know if that's something
• 50:41
  that might not be a long-term stable as well.
• 50:45
  Having maybe an additional week here, or they're having to open
• 50:49
  weeks for most teams. That would confirm.
• 50:52
  That might be something that comes out of it is pushing All
• 50:55
  Conference Championship games back on week.
• 50:58
  That one's surprise. We're basically saying
• 50:59
  Thanksgiving the no longer going to be the Thanksgiving to no
• 51:04
  longer going to be the big game of the last game of the season.
• 51:09
  Before conference championships, you can work out the more the
• 51:11
  Navy Army game at some point in time, but if you say, we could
• 51:17
  get Notre Dame in the next five years and we have to Fifteen
• 51:21
  teams. I would not be opposed to going
• 51:24
  to a tentative 10 per game. 1 power 5 game can get one group
• 51:30
  of five games. Yep, in three.
• 51:32
  Right. Let's cruise SES team, hold on.
• 51:36
  Why not say this find that your FCS team?
• 51:40
  You know, J mu William and Mary? Hey, we want you guys to come up
• 51:45
  at the end of our camp and scrimmages.
• 51:48
  And could you put the scrimmages on TV?
• 51:50
  Yes. Dear Lord.
• 51:51
  You could put the two images on TV.
• 51:53
  Now, it might be a little funky because when you do a scrimmage,
• 51:57
  the thing is, you know, when you scream you, someone it's like
• 52:01
  listen, we're going to do. Let's do you know what else do
• 52:03
  just red zones if you guys do to see Well, did you series?
• 52:07
  Let's do this. Let's do that.
• 52:09
  It won't. Because the one thing I will say
• 52:12
  that the Powerpuffs will do in this situation is they will not
• 52:15
  play a full-on game. It will be very situational but
• 52:21
  Aztec fans if you're saying, hey, we're going to give J mu
• 52:24
  for $1000 to come up and Instagram it with us.
• 52:27
  Hell, yeah. Stroke it.
• 52:29
  We can get situation against real people that we want to hit
• 52:32
  versus. Hey, don't take out some of the
• 52:35
  Those leg Jesus Christ. You got best, you know?
• 52:38
  Linebacker. But guess what?
• 52:40
  Yeah. Well you can get some more
• 52:43
  dollars in the bank. There is it's essentially like
• 52:45
  having a better Extra Spring Game.
• 52:49
  Yeah, well the that game when you put it on the season tickets
• 52:53
  just do the general admission up front and just basically say
• 52:58
  you're like, it was like flat 20 or something like that, and
• 53:01
  that's a flat 30 flat-out, 30, wherever you want them, but you
• 53:05
  got Get in line. So in staying with the time of
• 53:08
  the parking lots, this is a week where parking lots are open 24.
• 53:13
  Any parking, lots associated with tech starting for tickets.
• 53:17
  Now how do you make it really interesting?
• 53:19
  Is you basically say, you know, you probably set aside some
• 53:22
  student tickets and for them, you say, here's your tickets for
• 53:26
  this game, go in there and have fun.
• 53:28
  But I like it because a, it really shows, gets the
• 53:34
  conference. That whoever the best routine is
• 53:37
  accomplished, they're going to play in because basically you're
• 53:39
  going to play, you know, almost 70 percent of it, both teams in
• 53:43
  the league. And, you know, everybody wants
• 53:48
  to schedule a good out of comments, opponent.
• 53:50
  And you want that group of five because it's essentially the
• 53:53
  build-up. So I'm good.
• 53:54
  And, and with 15, I don't think that with playing a 10 game
• 53:58
  schedule. No, you're not learning any more
• 54:00
  or less than you were learning. We don't divisional set up
• 54:03
  either. So it's not like saying, Oh well
• 54:06
  the the two best teams in this 10 game format with no, no
• 54:10
  divisions. I'd say nine times out of ten.
• 54:13
  You didn't up with the same two teams and in some cases that it
• 54:20
  end up, you know, the conference and had the to better teams
• 54:22
  doesn't get screwed. So I think there's benefits and
• 54:25
  in that case, where one comment, One Division had to legit teams.
• 54:31
  You don't end up screwing one team.
• 54:33
  Versus the other. So you really have a more true I
• 54:38
  think representation of how good the conferences.
• 54:41
  And I think that's something that would be good to see.
• 54:44
  Because let's be honest, I mean, as good of a run as you VA had
• 54:50
  last year, they weren't the second best team in the
• 54:53
  conference last year. They were not the second.
• 54:55
  I don't think that told us anything about how good or bad
• 54:58
  Clemson was or how good or bad you VA was yep.
• 55:01
  Because you ba Probably wasn't the second best team in the
• 55:05
  conference. They might not even be the third
• 55:06
  best team in the conference. For mean, you go back to the mid
• 55:09
  2000, I moved to mid 2000 teams and when it was at this unit
• 55:13
  comes in, were the two best in the conference.
• 55:16
  But then you go back to the early parts of it.
• 55:18
  Where, you know, it was for a couple of years.
• 55:22
  It was, you know, BP 90 for like, what 06 in like, 04 with
• 55:29
  the best know before we got lucky because that last game of
• 55:31
  the year was a Given the fact accomplished championship game,
• 55:36
  but it's like there's been times like that.
• 55:38
  And what you do by going to this format is One day the Big 12 got
• 55:43
  right? When that with the about teams
• 55:45
  they have is, we're going to play the best teams are going to
• 55:47
  play and they're going to probably play with Once in the
• 55:49
  regular season. And you're going to see two good
• 55:52
  games. Like in fact case in point
• 55:54
  couple years ago, Texas with bicker to kicker hits it
• 55:58
  48-yarder dumb at the at the Red River.
• 56:01
  Shootout, beats Tech, Texas, beat Oklahoma, Good occasion of
• 56:06
  a note home. Pay them back in a really good
• 56:08
  game. You're going to see that and it
• 56:10
  doesn't hurt your conference. Because if somebody's walking in
• 56:12
  there with one both teams walk in there, one laws, I beat them.
• 56:16
  Hey, they redeem you, they beat every team on their schedule and
• 56:19
  so we really tough not to put that team to play off.
• 56:21
  To say, I played 13 games. I want all.
• 56:25
  But one I played 12 teams. I beat all quill teams.
• 56:28
  Yes, maybe, maybe not. Maybe it's a pipe dream.
• 56:31
  Maybe it's something we create later on.
• 56:34
  All right, Brian mentioned it. Got to do it because we know who
• 56:37
  were playing, let's say it. We need to create the perfect
• 56:41
  schedule for this year. So I'm going to be straight up
• 56:46
  me and Brian talked on the phone for like 40 minutes putting this
• 56:49
  together early. It's because if we were trying
• 56:54
  to spit while this thing on the flower like the pad, I think
• 56:58
  we're about at 48 minutes right now.
• 57:00
  The pad would have went like an hour and 56 minutes and I'll be
• 57:03
  like, what the hell is wrong with y'all?
• 57:05
  So Brian kick us off. These four are scheming
• 57:09
  September. 12th Lane Stadium. Boston College, Eagles will be
• 57:15
  visiting Lane stadium and no issue with this same.
• 57:19
  As last year, we could have beat them Dan year on Willis,
• 57:22
  ignoring all those pics. No issue with this.
• 57:27
  Good right out the gate. Now, the next two are kind of
• 57:30
  interesting. We mean we're talking about it.
• 57:33
  Yep, we're setting up back-to-back Road getting guys.
• 57:36
  The first one. Let's go down to Juke.
• 57:40
  Let's avenge that loss. It's avenge.
• 57:42
  That loss. Let's go ahead and say, hey That
• 57:45
  was a fluke. We didn't have our starting
• 57:47
  quarterback. The one we did.
• 57:51
  Start was playing injured eye knowing to most of everyone else
• 57:55
  in the world at the time. Yeah, and we just weren't firing
• 58:00
  on all cylinders. So let's go down there.
• 58:02
  Avenge that that'll be weak to, and let's set it up, and that's
• 58:05
  going to set up a big week. 3 matchup at Chapel Hill against
• 58:11
  the University of North Carolina, Tar Heels.
• 58:14
  Damn right. Let's get No 81, let's drive
• 58:16
  down then let's get on to 20 all the way down.
• 58:22
  Go over 2940, let's get in Chapel Hill.
• 58:24
  Let's get them back now Braun, we have another home game.
• 58:31
  Yep, in this one, I think we've kind of set this up.
• 58:35
  This would be ideal for Tech NC State you mentioned already.
• 58:40
  The kind of on the meddling side to me Dave doing seat is on That
• 58:45
  fire, he doesn't win 8 games this year.
• 58:48
  Maybe now it's 7 p.m. to 7 and 3 he's going to get fired.
• 58:54
  Yeah I think if I think he's at least got to get to 7 and I
• 58:57
  don't think he gets there. I think they're going to be
• 59:01
  probably a little improved relative to last year but I
• 59:04
  don't think that they're gonna 70 worlds on fire.
• 59:07
  I've got them, probably four and six, five and five, maybe, you
• 59:12
  know, just depending on what they end up putting together.
• 59:15
  But, you know, we're doing a little tour of the triangle
• 59:19
  there so that completes our tour of the triangle.
• 59:22
  I know the last one was a home game but we took care of all the
• 59:25
  triangle teams there so we got Duke UNC and NC State out of the
• 59:29
  out, the out of the way there. And that gives us our first open
• 59:33
  date. Take a break.
• 59:36
  Let's breathe. We've invented a couple bad
• 59:38
  losses. Last year, we made all the
• 59:41
  recruits wonder. Why UNC?
• 59:44
  Why are we committing to you? And see when we go smack them.
• 59:47
  We put the nail and orange coffin. get an open wheat, time
• 59:52
  to reflect sort of batteries that cleared batteries, but it's
• 59:57
  time to reflect because the way me and you feel reflect, we had
• 1:00:02
  some good wins, we avenge them things, but when we look up at
• 1:00:07
  Lane Stadium, there's some orange and purple, wallpaper do
• 1:00:13
  Gates. So this week, early October,
• 1:00:18
  some of the best games at Lane stadium that they ever been has
• 1:00:21
  been in early October and it would be a night game.
• 1:00:23
  It would be 8:00. Clemson, Tigers buddy, Clemson,
• 1:00:29
  Tigers, they can come to Lane and I think, I think we got
• 1:00:36
  something for him. I'm not.
• 1:00:37
  No, that's gonna be the hardest game in playoff season,
• 1:00:40
  obviously. And they are a team that I'd
• 1:00:44
  say, if we play them make times, we lose at least six or seven of
• 1:00:48
  them but at home after a bye. Yeah, I think we might have a
• 1:00:53
  little something for them. So I think that if we're going
• 1:00:57
  to knit it we're going to make them out there.
• 1:00:58
  I think that's the time that we would be able to do it.
• 1:01:00
  Yeah I think we've got the puncher's chance.
• 1:01:02
  I think we've got enough weapons on offense.
• 1:01:05
  I think are open to blond. He's good enough to hold up,
• 1:01:08
  even this early in the season, we bought at the depth.
• 1:01:12
  I mean, We put them here for a reason.
• 1:01:15
  We put them here because you've got to put them somewhere and
• 1:01:20
  you don't want it to be so late. Where if they have injuries they
• 1:01:24
  figured it out. You hope it's early enough in
• 1:01:26
  the process now Braun, we got to take a trip back down in North
• 1:01:29
  Carolina next week though, because, you know, after being
• 1:01:33
  home weeks, we got to get some of these away games way.
• 1:01:36
  So, let's, let's drive down to Winston-Salem.
• 1:01:41
  Yeah, we're gonna take on the Lake Forest.
• 1:01:42
  Demon Deacons. They are, you know, quick trip
• 1:01:45
  for us. I'd like I said, I think based
• 1:01:48
  on where they are in the process, that's not a game
• 1:01:53
  that's going to be should be a struggle for us.
• 1:01:56
  I think their defense will maybe keep it close but I don't think
• 1:02:00
  that we should have a problem pulling the way late.
• 1:02:02
  Nah and that sets up another big one, the following week who we
• 1:02:07
  got, Curtis got the following to get ready for an absolute
• 1:02:11
  slugfest. The atmosphere will be the Same
• 1:02:15
  in the TSA will, I don't think it'll be on a Friday night, but
• 1:02:18
  let's go up to pit. There's going to play with empty
• 1:02:22
  hands feel, right? And we're still playing to in
• 1:02:24
  it. There is no real difference, you
• 1:02:26
  know, unless they allow fans in and then, you know, Hokie
• 1:02:30
  Nation, get your, get your, get your cars ready.
• 1:02:34
  Let's go up there and let's turn that place, you know, 15%
• 1:02:38
  maroon. But again, the way we again,
• 1:02:43
  with the way we're set, Stuff is you have wake?
• 1:02:45
  That's still going to be a fight of a game down at wake because I
• 1:02:48
  think their defense is going to be good this year but I think
• 1:02:51
  what you said will pull away late, it's going to be the old
• 1:02:54
  early 2000s. Virginia Tech when we had just
• 1:02:58
  unbelievable defenses and game offense.
• 1:03:00
  Couldn't punch anything to a point I run.
• 1:03:06
  So, we went up to fit. We've dealt with the normal
• 1:03:09
  Heinz Field atmosphere. We made Nordic, we can Maidan
• 1:03:13
  are doozy, throw things. Yeah, because we can you pick,
• 1:03:19
  it isn't a good quarterback. Our offensive line held up.
• 1:03:23
  Good against that good defensive front of theirs and it
• 1:03:26
  frustrated them all game. But we get somebody back at Lane
• 1:03:30
  in. We get to see sort of a new age
• 1:03:33
  of this team. Yep, the Miami Hurricanes will
• 1:03:36
  travel our way and we'll see what their new quarterback can
• 1:03:40
  do and see if they've got enough offensive line to keep him
• 1:03:43
  upright. Offensive line to keep them
• 1:03:46
  upright. See losing a lot of those pass
• 1:03:49
  rushers last year. They still have that stud.
• 1:03:52
  Yep. But it's a lot easier if you
• 1:03:55
  know late he's a guy. We're just gonna run would be
• 1:04:00
  the call if you're sitting there and there he is over there will
• 1:04:04
  be the call you dear. I mean we can ship them all day
• 1:04:07
  so you know tight ends going to chip him running backs.
• 1:04:11
  Going to chip him coming out, you know will We'll definitely
• 1:04:14
  fan that way. So I think the you'll see the
• 1:04:17
  cut the, the protections get fan that direction every time
• 1:04:21
  anything to keep him from getting up field and in the
• 1:04:25
  backfield in a hurry. So I think you're always going
• 1:04:29
  to see, you know, your see upset elbow from the siding off the
• 1:04:33
  line just to slow them down a little bit.
• 1:04:35
  There's there's going to be something here, there's not
• 1:04:37
  going to just be a lot of free roam one-on-one situations for
• 1:04:43
  our Are so think big dog, Chris and either lucre or Silas are
• 1:04:51
  going to get to have a little help depending on who's taking
• 1:04:53
  care of him. Absolutely absolutely.
• 1:04:57
  So after without a doubt the brutal it stretch of our
• 1:05:02
  schedule you know we had to be realistic you couldn't make it
• 1:05:06
  completely nearby car but he can't make completely crazy.
• 1:05:10
  Third flight cake than this because you Gotta try to make it
• 1:05:14
  perfect kids. Can we get a nice tie?
• 1:05:17
  It's going to be early November my style.
• 1:05:21
  We went through some Wars. That's pretty.
• 1:05:25
  And let's go over a couple scrapes.
• 1:05:30
  Let's go to Kentucky, let's go to Louisville.
• 1:05:33
  They've got man, athletic quarterback, some good wide
• 1:05:38
  receivers. But that defense it ain't that
• 1:05:42
  good. Nope, the offensive line whilst
• 1:05:45
  as you call it they've lost bookends won a damn first round
• 1:05:48
  Talent. So let's go down the Louisville
• 1:05:53
  with this big baby game mid-november was big November
• 1:05:57
  game Cooper playing this sort of, you know, best two teams
• 1:06:01
  make it. This could potentially be one of
• 1:06:03
  those games where it's a make-or-break light.
• 1:06:04
  All right VT. Go down there.
• 1:06:07
  You win, put yourself in the driver's seat, you lose you
• 1:06:11
  lose. Yeah.
• 1:06:11
  At this point, we'll know whether or not we have a shot at
• 1:06:16
  playing for the ACC Championship game.
• 1:06:18
  I feel like because you're down to your last two conference
• 1:06:20
  games, one of them's against your rival UVA.
• 1:06:23
  So you've got one last Road game to go and handle your business.
• 1:06:27
  It's at Louisville, they are an up-and-coming team in the
• 1:06:31
  conference. So it's not they'll probably be
• 1:06:34
  playing for something as well. So I feel like it's I'm going to
• 1:06:37
  be a really big contest there and, you know, hopefully we can
• 1:06:41
  take advantage of some of their, I think we're the more balanced
• 1:06:44
  team. So if we can score enough
• 1:06:46
  points, I think we'll be all right.
• 1:06:48
  Yeah. We went on the more balanced
• 1:06:49
  team there. So, you know, for think again,
• 1:06:52
  they've got the athletic quarterback but maybe having
• 1:06:57
  your defensive line scheme, he'll be late.
• 1:06:58
  So they'll probably know what we're doing, but maybe we don't
• 1:07:01
  get burned. Like we used to by running
• 1:07:05
  quarterbacks. So Brian, let's get some
• 1:07:11
  Revenge. You want some Revenge a I want
• 1:07:16
  some Revenge. So you know last year Eva had a
• 1:07:21
  bye week. Then they played Liberty and
• 1:07:27
  then they played us. So, you know, that we before we
• 1:07:32
  play them on Thanksgiving weekend.
• 1:07:35
  But let's play Liberty or J mu or go to you or someone of that
• 1:07:39
  ilk. Yeah, you think I'm good with
• 1:07:43
  that. I'm going with that.
• 1:07:44
  I think that will set us up nicely for UVA coming to Lane
• 1:07:49
  Stadium the next week. So you know, if that Point.
• 1:07:53
  We potentially could be controlling our own fate as to
• 1:07:56
  whether we play for the ACC championship game.
• 1:07:59
  At the very least, we control our own fate, as whether we get
• 1:08:03
  the cup back. So I think having a man out of
• 1:08:07
  conference game, especially against a team like a liberty or
• 1:08:10
  JMU or no, do you think that'd be a good tune-up especially
• 1:08:14
  coming off a big road game, regardless win or lose against
• 1:08:17
  Louisville? I think they'll be something
• 1:08:19
  there to kind of cleanse the palate before you have the
• 1:08:22
  Cavaliers. The lane.
• 1:08:24
  All right, so we already said it, normal, Thanksgiving Day,
• 1:08:28
  Thanksgiving weekend, matchup you VA Virginia Tech.
• 1:08:32
  Last game of the year for us. This was easy one.
• 1:08:35
  As soon as we started this, we just said you have to put that
• 1:08:37
  game there. You try to keep that game.
• 1:08:41
  You know, you're probably going to see the Carolina schools do
• 1:08:43
  it. My assumption would be since
• 1:08:46
  Clemson. Not going pal Carolina, they'll
• 1:08:48
  probably hook up with Georgia Tech.
• 1:08:50
  FSU, Miami should be that weekend Syracuse.
• 1:08:53
  Boston College and we will pit let Notre Dame play their out of
• 1:09:00
  conference that weekend. Let them hopefully my hope with
• 1:09:03
  all the teams they play. Let Notre Dame, convinced Navy,
• 1:09:08
  Thanksgiving weekend, come up to South Bend and let's keep this
• 1:09:13
  tradition going. That'd be a good one.
• 1:09:16
  All right, the brawn. That's a perfect game guys.
• 1:09:19
  The bottle or earlier today. I asked you, I will ask Right
• 1:09:23
  now, put a number on it, the 10 ACC games how many Virginia Tech
• 1:09:27
  winning. I mean, I know that a lot of
• 1:09:30
  parts are still moving. We saw Caleb opt-out, we're
• 1:09:32
  probably gonna see more players opt out.
• 1:09:34
  Yeah. Well, what's the, what's the
• 1:09:36
  lowest common denominator? You see in terms of us winning,
• 1:09:40
  seven is the minimum amount of games were going to win this
• 1:09:43
  year. Okay, I can see if she'll say I
• 1:09:46
  was saying I was saying seven is probably what I would if you had
• 1:09:49
  me put a number on us, say we'd at least get seven.
• 1:09:52
  Yeah. If thing Things go wrong or we
• 1:09:54
  have the wrong combination of players opt-out and other teams,
• 1:09:57
  don't maybe six. Yeah, as high as eight maybe
• 1:10:01
  nine but I think 7 is a good number that to put on it.
• 1:10:06
  Would you like Stuart Mendel say four and six what a dumbass
• 1:10:13
  that's all because a you read the right up, it makes no sense.
• 1:10:16
  I do you know how many Playmakers retirement in Brian
• 1:10:20
  you're sitting there while I saying, And in hookers
• 1:10:22
  returning, Trey Turner is returning.
• 1:10:25
  Tavian ROM is a returning days, Mitchell's returning, we just
• 1:10:30
  got Herbert from Kansas who has been known to go off and
• 1:10:34
  potentially we could have Blackshear coming in like a
• 1:10:38
  couple other transfers that we've got coming in that the
• 1:10:41
  participant can touch the ball as well.
• 1:10:42
  So I just don't understand the, I mean if you just look at okay,
• 1:10:48
  well If you look at just okay, we got hitting a hooker and Trey
• 1:10:52
  Turner. I feel like that's all he saw
• 1:10:54
  was gonna do Kier Trey, Turner and didn't look at anybody else
• 1:10:57
  that contributed to last year's offense, but that's all they
• 1:11:00
  have coming back. That's the only play makers.
• 1:11:02
  They have done that like provided there was no depth to
• 1:11:07
  the analysis and then you look at the UVA assessment which was
• 1:11:13
  like they lost their entire offense.
• 1:11:16
  Pretty much at wide receiver and quarterback.
• 1:11:20
  Six and four. What is shows me is as a
• 1:11:23
  national writer, he did very little research in that in that
• 1:11:27
  he works for the athletic who you would think I'm hoping,
• 1:11:30
  whoever his bosses land bases ass.
• 1:11:33
  But also he's the guy who in 2016 said we go five and seven.
• 1:11:37
  So I like when Stewart wrong because the future is wrong.
• 1:11:41
  Usually good things happen for Virginia Tech doesn't really
• 1:11:44
  have a boss. He's the Editor in Chief for
• 1:11:47
  their college football coverage. So, which is kind of mean in
• 1:11:54
  terms of college football coverage.
• 1:11:56
  So it's kind of interesting that, you know, he didn't dive a
• 1:11:59
  little bit deeper on that or, you know, maybe he just has
• 1:12:02
  something against Virginia Tech, which is, you know, it is what
• 1:12:06
  it is. But yeah, again, I would have a
• 1:12:09
  problem if he said five wins, six, wins baby, like, okay,
• 1:12:14
  well, if it's lower than I'd pick but without knowing a,
• 1:12:17
  whole lot of information, if you threw a It's out there and be
• 1:12:20
  like, okay, okay I'll accept it, I don't like it but I'll accept
• 1:12:24
  it. But throwing for out there, I
• 1:12:26
  mean for it, that's pretty much saying any game that we would be
• 1:12:29
  picked to either win or lose by less than seven points.
• 1:12:34
  We're going to lose all of them. Well he's all on man that's
• 1:12:37
  exactly what he said but let's not worry about him.
• 1:12:39
  Let's move on what you said it earlier and we're going to
• 1:12:42
  mention it again real quick. They see SEC announced this
• 1:12:45
  afternoon game conference on the schedule that essentially 86 has
• 1:12:50
  For state, Florida, South Carolina, Clemson, I think,
• 1:12:57
  opacity Georgia Tech Georgia and the battle for the Bluegrass
• 1:13:01
  State. Louisville Kentucky will touch
• 1:13:05
  on this probably next week because hopefully they will
• 1:13:08
  release at least the opponent if not, the full schedule because
• 1:13:13
  buddy is going to be like, we talked about some of the games
• 1:13:16
  with the acc's to be the same with the SEC.
• 1:13:18
  It's probably the same with the Pact. 12 is going to probably be
• 1:13:21
  the same with the Big Ten, which US is college football games,
• 1:13:25
  which we are. It makes us kind of happy like
• 1:13:28
  yeah, yeah. Well you did see some games.
• 1:13:30
  We may be normally don't see by multiple games.
• 1:13:34
  We normally don't see. I mean we're used to do
• 1:13:36
  traditional cross robberies that.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, Alabama's play every year and things like that, but now
• 1:13:41
  you might see, okay, well they're gonna have to play, they
• 1:13:45
  will Georgia and Florida to, or Georgia, and Tennessee or I mean
• 1:13:49
  almost a really intriguing matchups ma'am.
• 1:13:51
  Alabama's constant crossover is Tennessee.
• 1:13:54
  Yeah, they are playing Georgia this year.
• 1:13:58
  So either it's gonna be like the, so the SEC have to be very
• 1:14:01
  smart about how they do it by. There's that Florida team down
• 1:14:05
  there to do. We do we just give them that
• 1:14:08
  same or do we? Yeah, but I'm going to do
• 1:14:11
  something. It's going to be mesmerizing to
• 1:14:14
  see that. So, Alton Brown, we have got,
• 1:14:18
  that is so much. We have given out tonight a lot
• 1:14:21
  to digest. Yep.
• 1:14:23
  I mean, um, so the, the engagement question this week,
• 1:14:26
  Is. Down your core fans.
• 1:14:29
  Do you like this format? And if you don't, what would you
• 1:14:34
  have preferred? And the only unacceptable answer
• 1:14:38
  here. I just want a normal college
• 1:14:39
  football, team, that's the. You can't get it out because I
• 1:14:42
  mean, other kinds of are essentially, we can't control
• 1:14:46
  that anymore. So let's control what we can
• 1:14:49
  control. What we can control is how our
• 1:14:51
  conference plays Gates you. So I mean, do you like the
• 1:14:54
  format? The ten plus one, do you prefer
• 1:14:56
  just a 10 game conference schedule?
• 1:14:59
  Would you prefer a pod situation where you play?
• 1:15:03
  Five teams in your geographic area.
• 1:15:05
  Twice at the. You know what would you like to
• 1:15:08
  tell us what you like? Be creative.
• 1:15:11
  Be creative. I'm good with this format.
• 1:15:15
  I think it makes the most sense. So I like it I could do with or
• 1:15:21
  without the plus 1 especially since it's not going to likely
• 1:15:24
  be another power 5 team. I can take her leave the plus
• 1:15:29
  one but it's nice to have it in there as a tuneup for a Little
• 1:15:33
  big game. So I'll leave it in there and
• 1:15:36
  say I'm happy with it. Yep, absolutely.
• 1:15:39
