  SPEAKER_04: And you know, they they recover the fumble, quick turnover, quick change of downs, CU starting to drive, CU gets down into the red zone, fumbles the ball, Georgia picks it up and scoops and scores.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_04: Well, that's what everybody assumed happened.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_04: But during the play, the whistle was blown, which for some reason they said the player was down, and obviously, you know, by the looks of it, he wasn't was his four momentum stopped, maybe, but the whistle was blown and the and the play was dead at that point, and they were given the ball back, and Georgia wa and C was unable to score.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_04: Georgia held the line and then was able to get the ball on turnover on downs, and C was able to pin him down and then get the punt and finally get its first T D of you know the season.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_04: Juju Schuster, you know, looked good, but you know, still struggled at at points, you know.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_04: We I think we knew that was gonna happen.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_04: But, you know, first first very, very, very good game for Colorado they came out, were really able to dominate the running game.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_04: You know, everybody said, Oh, they're a pee-wee football team, they're too small, they can't compete against anybody.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_04: And they were able to put up over a hundred yards rushing over Georgia Tech.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_04: First, yeah.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_04: So in the second quarter, Welch rushed five yards touchdowns at 1306, and then they were able to get the extra point.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_04: Very next draw very next thing.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_04: CU kicks the ball off to Georgia Tech, and Georgia Tech was able to return it for a touchdown for over 100 yards on the returning kickoff fairly quickly.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_04: A couple seconds later, tied 7-7.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_04: At the 206 mark in the second quarter, Georgia was able to take the lead.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_04: 10-7, and going into halftime, it was the buffs were down by three.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_04: In the fourth quarter, Barr kicked another 29-yard field goal to put Georgia Tech up 13-7 with 143 left in the fourth quarter.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_04: Under two minutes to go.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_04: You know, all game Colorado struggled.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_04: All game.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_04: They just couldn't get the ball going.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_04: They would get good drive going, they would hurt themselves with a penalty or a drop pass or or whatever it was, and were unable to score, you know, other than that that first drive there, you know, that drive in the second quarter.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_04: Then they were able to JJ Lewis threw a pass, and the tight end caught it for 20 yards for a touchdown to go up 14 to 3, or 14 to 13, with 37 seconds left.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_04: And Colorado kicked the ball off.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_04: Georgia was able to drive down the field, get the ball, you know, fairly quickly, and get the ball within field goal range.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_04: And with three seconds left, C was able to block a a field goal and and win and win the game, which is totally awesome.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_04: And, you know, big, big things going on in Colorado, you know, to get that big that big that first big win of the season.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_04: First time beating an ACC school since 1957 on the road.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_04: You know, very good way for the buffs to start this campaign off with a win at 1-0.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_04: And like I said in earlier podcasts, I I did believe that Colorado would be able to steal this game from Georgia, and and they were able to do that.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna play a couple, you know, the the first big one I'm gonna play here is the field goal that got blocked by Colorado.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_04: So huge, huge thing right there to be able to to uh, you know, block that field goal and and and get the win there.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_04: You know, big, big way to to end the game.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_04: You know, Colorado just just played totally awesome little press conference here that uh Coach Prime gave at the end of the game.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_04: Now I'll play this.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: This is courtesy of Colorado football updates that I follow on Facebook.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_04: So without further ado, the press conference after the big win for Colorado, Coach Prime.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: 80.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, we rushed for a buck eighty-three?
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_03: My god.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: They rushed for 51?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: I thought we were small.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, we rushed for a buck eighty-three.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_03: My god.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_04: You know, Coach Prime laughing at at a lot of the reporters prior to another thing saying, oh, you guys are small and you know, you're you're not gonna do nothing, and you know, whatever.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: But here's the game-winning touchdown.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_04: So, Lewis to Williams for uh, you know, a 20-yarder, which was, you know, a fantastic way for Colorado to end and the game, you know, and and for for Colorado to sit there and and to be, you know, the underdog and and really be, you know, that that team that, you know, people don't think are are gonna do well, you know, and able to to to pull this first big win-off rate right there at the beginning of the season, you know, is is you know, is huge for Colorado.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm impressed.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_04: I'm I'm very happy that they were able to win.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_04: It it goes to show that, you know.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know, go to show that.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll here's a little bit of the here's another one with CU winning touchdown.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_04: So, you know, good good game for Colorado to to come out and win like that and and to be able to to beat the University of of Georgia, Georgia Tech, which is huge.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_04: It it gives them, you know, the momentum they need going into week two against Weber State.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_04: But now the big thing there, I think, is you know, can Colorado really come out and and play a solid good football game against a team that's in a still a division, uh, a college team, a division one team, a smaller school, and still have that same momentum, that same thought, and that same trite, you know, mind mind thought of, okay, this is this is a this is another game, this is week two, we gotta we gotta keep playing hard.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_04: Because you can't go into this game thinking it's gonna be an easy pushover win.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, just look at look at Rutgers last night that got absolutely demolished by UMass.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_04: A pack a Big Ten school, now bottom tier Big Ten school, playing an FBS school or a school, not even in Division I, but getting beat at home.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_04: And they were 29 or 30 point favorites to to win this game, and they just get they get absolutely just demolished.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_04: Now, again, it's Rutgers.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_04: It's a team that in the Big Ten struggles, and a big team a team in in all of college football that just struggles because they just don't recruit.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_04: They don't have the money.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_04: They're they're just not one of the they're in a power four conference, but they just don't have the money to to really do anything.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_04: So very, very impressive win for Colorado.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_04: Saturday, Alabama plays their first game.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_04: You know, and again, here's another team coming into a game with a disappointing season last year with, you know, in in the eyes of the Alabama fans and everybody that follows Alabama football, with with them losing and not being in the national championship game or even losing to Georgia in the the SC S C S E S C E S C E championship game.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_04: Just more craziness.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_04: Another quick tidbit here.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_04: So a coach a judge in Louisiana temporarily blocked the NCA from allowing it's going to allow the NFL players to join LSU.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_04: LSU sued or the SEC SEC sued LSU for allowing NFL players to come back and play, even though they've said they're not allowed to.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_04: Lane Kivan doesn't give a darn.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_04: He'd rather spit in the face of the SEC and the commissioners and every other school and college football like, oh, I'm gonna bring back professional players, even though they were ruled they weren't allowed to play it, because this one class in 2022 isn't getting a fifth year of eligibility, even though people before him, people after him all get and they're all mad.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_04: You know, and and there's a sign hanging up in the LSU building.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_04: You know, you you gotta make enemies and and you gotta be the villain of a of in someone else's story.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_04: I think what needs to happen in this situation is the SEC needs to be able to get a ruling where these players aren't allowed.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, you you graduated, you left college, you're a professional player, you got you were undrafted by it by an NFL team.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_04: Oh darn you didn't make the 53-man roster.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you're like, oh, I I can't hack it in the NFL, I'm gonna go back to college.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_04: No, you suck it up, you learn that professional football is a lot tougher than college football.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_04: It is a bigger business.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_04: It is a business decision that these teams made not to put you on the 53-man roster.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_04: You could have been put on, you know, the practice squad, somebody else could have picked you up, but you'd rather go back to college and and and prove that, you know, you can still play college football and maybe you'll get, you know, a better chance next year.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_04: No, you're you you left college.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_04: You're in the NFL.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_04: You're a pro.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_04: You you don't you're not allowed to to go to go back.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_04: That is just that's just mind-boggling to me.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think that's the right thing to do.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know, uh it is what it is.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: And it's it's just it's stupid.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_04: You you can't allow professional players to go back to college.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_04: They left college, they're now in the NFL.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_04: They need to play NFL football or you know, go to Canada or go, you know, somewhere else, UFL, you know, play in the other smaller professional league in the United States to the UFL and and play in the springs, but in the spring, but to to allow professional players to go back into college football and and Lane Kiffin.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_04: I I just hope that at some point, you know, we can obviously it's gonna be a while before we move through this this mess of what what's really going on and it it needs to be addressed that you know what, you you you leave college, you you don't you don't get the opportunity to continue to play, you know, because you didn't make an NFL roster.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_04: You you know, you learn to do something else, or you learn to, you know, sit out a year and maybe next year you you try out for another another team and and see if you can make it, but to sit there and to have to have a judge, you know, rule that, you know, it's completely fair for these these guys to play and and that they deserve a fifth year of eligibility.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, I understand you're mad, and I understand that you want that, but that's your your one class didn't get that opportunity.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_04: You you weren't grandfathered in that's just the way things go.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_04: So play this little bit off of a score app here and talking about how the judge ordered and then was that going to allow NFL players to play for Lane Kiffin at LSU.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: Baton Rouge, Law.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: AP, LSU coach Lane Kiffin's chances of fielding former NFL players improved Thursday night when a Louisiana judge issued a preliminary injunction against the NCAA in a high-profile eligibility case.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: East Baton Rouge parish judge William Jordan issued his ruling the night before LSU was due to submit its 105-man roster to the Southeastern Conference, which last week announced heavy potential punishment for football and basketball teams that bring in ex-props.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: The ruling clears the way for LSU to list some former NFL players on its roster.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: How many games they might be eligible to play remains to be seen as the matter continues working its way through the courts.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about Coach Giffin.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about LSU, it's about treating these kids fairly, said Tony Clayton, an attorney for the athletes.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: Today, justice was served, and justice was served to the SEC.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: It was served like a cold cup of gumbo, and that judge forced him to eat it.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: The ruling followed a nearly nine-hour hearing in a courtroom less than three miles from the LSU campus.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: Several athletes took the stand to explain why they should be allowed to return to play college sports for a fifth season, some of them after turning pro.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: The commissioner of the powerful SEC argued against them, and the league doubled down by filing a lawsuit against the school in a federal court in Alabama.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: That lawsuit could become the SEC's best chance at preventing former pros from playing this season.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: Thursday's hearing was attended by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Marrill, who filed an athlete-friendly brief in the case.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: While she did not make any arguments in court, she spoke after the hearing and referred to the SEC's federal lawsuit against LSU as legal garbage and frivolous.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to continue to do everything we can to protect the school from those threats, she said.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: The courtroom confrontation came just two days before 11th-ranked LSU opens the season at home against Clemson.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Jordan scheduled the hearing over his temporary injunction preventing the NCAA from barring former pros or fifth-year college athletes, a stance reiterated by the SEC and other Power Four conferences in potential punishments adopted last week.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Lane Kiffin is cold as ice.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's wonderful to watch.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: He pushes every limit to try to win, said New Orleans attorney Jason Williams, representing the SEC.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: The SEC exists in part to prevent individual competitive incentives from destroying the common conditions that make college football great.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: Former NFL players testify about modest pay in pros.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman's Xavier Harris and former Cleveland Browns tight, N.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Daquin Wright, two players who hoped to suit up for LSU, sat next to each other in the gallery as the hearing began, and both took the stand to say they would have not tried to turn pro had they known they might get another year in college.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Harris and Wright said they each earned about$1 million in college.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: Harris said he was paid just$190 in travel expenses by the Saints and spent all of his time with the club rehaving a foot injury.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: Wright said he was paid a$25,000 signing bonus by Philadelphia before his brief time with the Browns and would gladly pay that back for the chance to play for LSU.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: While both former Mississippi players were unsure how soon they might make their LSU debut, they said after the hearing that they expect to play when the Tigers visit Ole Miss on September 19th.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: Two LSU soccer players, Jasmine Ferguson and Jocelyn Olivier, won earlier court orders and have already played this season.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Ferguson testified that she was paid$4,500 by a USL team, but ended her contract and paid the money back in hopes of clearing the way to play for the Tigers again.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Two LSU softball players also testified.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: The athletes testified after SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey was on the stand for more than two hours, defending the league's authority to enforce its weak old rules barring former pros from returning to play at its 16-member schools.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: He said school presidents and chancellors felt that they needed to establish a line between professional and college sports, and that there needed to be ways to hold schools accountable.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: The line between professional sports and college sports needs to be maintained, Sanke testified, adding that the league was concerned about incoming athletes being displaced from limited roster spots.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: As he spoke, the SEC filed the federal lawsuit in Alabama against LSU and its leadership, alleging the school had waged a deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes in defiance of league rules.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: The court filing against one of the league's founding members in 1933 seeks an injunction barring LSU from violating the SEC's First Amendment rights by forcing it to associate with conduct that is contrary to the conference's purpose and mission.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: Questioning of Sankey turned sharp.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: While questioning Sankey, attorneys for the athletes cited numerous examples of when SEC eligibility rules align with NCAA rules, suggesting the potential for collusion.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: They questioned why league members met last week to adopt stiff penalties for the very actions addressed in the Louisiana State Court's temporary injunction against the NCAA.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: The attorneys also asked why the SEC singled out players who signed contracts with specific U.S.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: base leagues, the NFL, NBA, and WNBA, but not overseas pro leagues or women's pro soccer leagues.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: When Sanke tried to qualify an answer about whether the SEC had previously punished a school for adding a player with previous pro experience, Clayton said, I didn't ask how to build a club.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just asking what time it is.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Sankey acknowledged that there had previously been no such punishment, but that it had been considered against Alabama last basketball season, when the Crimson Tide briefly added a former D-League player.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: Players going to court has become common.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: The players in question also include former Denver Broncos defensive back Blake Cotton, who like Harris, and Wright is hoping to join LSU and Kiffen.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: Wright, who played for Kiffen last season at Mississippi, started practicing at LSU this week.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Too late to be eligible for Saturday's home opener against Clemson under the NCAA's required seven days of practice.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Harris, who also played at Ole Miss last season, has committed to LSU, while Cotton, who played at Utah last fall, has been recruited by Kiffen.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: All three are among a host of athletes who've argued in lawsuits around the country that they are unfairly being denied an opportunity to spend a fifth year in college, under newly adopted NCAA rules allowing for five full years of competition.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: In all, the NCAA says there are approximately 450 athlete plaintiffs seeking additional eligibility through litigation, with some 300 of them winning the ability to play at least for now.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: NCAA attorney Taylor Askew said the number of disputes actually strengthens the argument that the NCAA is trying to enforce rules fairly that can't be arbitrary, Askew said.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's consistency.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: The athletes in the case who signed pro contracts have argued they did so only because current rules that would have allowed them another college season weren't adopted until after their decisions to leave for the chance to make an NFL roster.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: The SEC contends the question before the judge should be a narrow one regarding whether the conference can enforce and require its member institutions to comply with SEC rules.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: The SEC's proposed punishments include significant fines, up to half season suspensions for coaches and member universities, loss of voting privileges on league business matters.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: Sankey provided an affidavit stating that SEC university presidents had voted 15 nil in favor of those penalties, with LSU's Wade Roos abstaining.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: The fight over eligibility between schools and their own conferences and the NCAA has simmered for months and spilled into politics.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry posted on To attorneys general in Georgia and South Carolina that calling them NFL players is at best disingenuous and at worst intentionally deceptive.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: They are not professional football players circling back after years in the NFL.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: Landry wrote.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: They are college players who were told by the NCAA that they were done.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: So they took the only door that was open only to watch the NCAA change the lock behind them.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: I I I get that and I get where where they're mad.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_02: But they signed the paper.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_04: They said, nope, we're done with college.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_04: We're we're gonna go on to the pros because we're gonna we want to make more money.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_04: Just because you didn't make a lot of money or you didn't make an NFL roster, you know, I I get you're still college age.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_04: I still get that you you want to play college football, but you left college, you signed the paperwork, you turned pro, you played preseason, you went to minicamp, you went to training camp.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_04: You're you're you're a professional football player.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_04: Just because the NCA changed the rules and decided to do it after you guys left, and you know, maybe maybe the NCAA should have, you know, thought about this and and given them the opportunity, but that's not what they they did.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_04: And for the SEC to vote 15 to 1 or nil, and you know, of course LSU's, you know, president decided whatever, their their athletic department.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_04: No, we weren't we're not gonna vote, we're gonna sustain.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, of course they do.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_04: They want to cheat.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_04: You know, and it's funny how most of these players that are that don't that are mad because they didn't make the NFL that want to go back to LSU, hmm, where did they play their last year of college football?
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_04: Old miss, who was the coach there?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_04: Blaine Kivin.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_04: Obviously this was I think this is something, and this is just my opinion, and this is just, you know, me thinking what I'm thinking, that, you know, Lane Kiffin told these guys, hey, if you don't make, you know, the NFL, the NCAA's gonna rule that all these guys get a fifth year and I and you're not.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_04: So you need to leave, make a fit, throw a fit.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, if we would have known this, we wouldn't have left.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_04: No, you you left college football, you're now a pro, you need to stay pro and learn to to understand that.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_04: But, you know, that we'll we'll keep uh we'll keep this story going in the next couple podcasts because this is this is something that I think is gonna is gonna be dragging on all season.
• 24:29
