• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome college football Saturday this past weekend. That's right.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Come on now.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Highlighted by the Red River rivalry down in Dallas at
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: the Cotton Bowl.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Huge upset.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Number one Texas loses to unranked Oklahoma. But the story
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: of the game, Arch just looked bad.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: He looked bad. His numbers weren't crazy.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: But I do think after this performance, Shady, I don't
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: think I would draft this guy in the first round.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, when did you realize that? Seriously, though.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I have been.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I did not feel that way last year. I thought
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: he was still maybe a first-round talent last year. I
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: have not been impressed by him this entire season.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be honest with you, man. I think
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: he's a really good quarterback. I think with his last name,
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: I think with all the hype, everybody in Texas gets
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: hyped up. You go to Texas University, they hype you up.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Sure. And he hasn't shown me to be the number
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one pick overall. He hasn't shown me to be the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: best player in college. He hasn't shown me that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: And I'm just wondering, like, why are we rushing these
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: guys to go.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: To the league?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I agree, and that's something we could talk about in
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a bit, but I did want to bring up, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: talked about the name on the jersey.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Sark was asked about this this weekend.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: He said if you took the name off the back
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of his jersey, if his name was Joe Smith, we'd
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: be praising this guy.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And guess what? I hate to tell you, Sark, if his.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Name was Joe Smith, he probably would not be the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback at Texas right now because these are Archer's
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: numbers this year. 63% completion percentage, 10 touchdowns, 5 interceptions.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: The air attack, his average pass per temp is seven yards.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: He's a check down merchant. My thing with him right
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: now is he's Bo Nix with famous uncles. Like that's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the kind of quarterback I'm watching right now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Which Bo Nix? Oregon or Auburn?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about Bo Nix in the NFL right
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: now because I can't stand watching Bo Nix in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: NFL right now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of Bo Nix either. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: told people that about him. I'll just say this though, man.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: The Texas brand is so big that you give all
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: these guys the super credit. No disrespect, I've just been
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: watching it for so long. And then you get a
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: quarterback with that type of name, right?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I love his uncles. I mean, God, those are
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: my boys.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: But if we're being honest, like... We shouldn't put that
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: type of pressure on him yet.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Totally fair.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I think he should be there for at least four,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: and you know it's a five-year rule now.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It is. Let him get all them years up because
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: he needs it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So I was going to ask, do you think he
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: should stay another year?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Another year in this Sark.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: System, and then he could become a first-round talent again.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Because right now, you and I agree, no.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And it's the problem, though.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: He's going to go first round if he leaves this year, right?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: He goes to the NFL and doesn't have a great career.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: And they want to blame him.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's a bust. No. He needed one more year
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to really develop. And we rushed these kids. That's why
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you see so.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Many GMs get fired because they go out and get
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: these quarterbacks and the quarterback don't pan out.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It's not the kids' fault. It's your fault. I love Manny.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I just think that right now for him, even a
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Texas team, like they– They play with their food too much.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Play with their food. They're so undisciplined.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I've never watched such a high-profile team like this commit
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: so many dumb penalties. Now, that sack celebration by Colin
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Simmons the other week, insane.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Made me laugh. But you can't do that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You can't do that. They'll have good moments. They'll play
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: good for two quarters. They'll play bad. They'll go back
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and forth.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: When's the last time you've seen Texas even in a
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: meaningful game?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: In a couple years. They were in this college football
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: semifinal game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Two, three years ago with viewers, with Manning on the bench,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: but It's, I think we forget how long before that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: they were kind of a.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: That was 2010 with... With Colt... Oh, with my cousin.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: With your cousin Colt McCoy?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Colt McCoy, my mom's sister's cousin's son. He's on my.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Separated twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's my cousin, Colt McCoy.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Just not good vibes from this Texas team. I did
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: not think they were deserving of that number one ranking.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, it's just.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I just don't see it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like Texas because it's good football overall.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Like, it's a big brand.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: But you put them up against Alabama and Georgia and they're...
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's going to be big belts, so you
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: know what?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Before we move on to the next topic here, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: want to hit the YouTube chat. We got Varun saying
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that somebody needs to get shady on Hinge ASAP.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Am I going crazy today?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: We got Trajan, who's back in the chat from earlier.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Keylon Russell looks like a future eagle. Howie is loading
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the picks up.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: A little Jalen Hurts replacement for a couple years? I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: love my quarterback. QB1 champion. MVP at that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: But one thing about Howie, he prepares for the future.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: People forget that Carson Wentz was a favorite for the MVP, right?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And they moved on.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And we got a second-round pick with Jalen Hurts.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: So one thing about Howie, man, he would trade his
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: cousins if he got.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: To, man, for a championship.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, he will. And guess what? It's led to some
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And that's what we do in Philadelphia.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It works.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Don't forget that.
