- 1:07Speaker 2: out that it is very very important to me because
- 1:09Speaker 2: of it, my grandfather turned ninety three. Uh this all
- 1:13Speaker 2: and so obviously very very important to me to be
- 1:18Speaker 2: around for those final birthdays and uh, you know, my
- 1:22Speaker 2: kids getting a chance to be there and being around them,
- 1:26Speaker 2: you know, just great. And so, uh, it is the
- 1:28Speaker 2: tenth anniversary of the last time that my mom hosted
- 1:31Speaker 2: at her place, and so it made my mom's my
- 1:35Speaker 2: mom's my mom's a little a little little on the
- 1:37Speaker 2: struggle bus sometimes and and but we went over to
- 1:41Speaker 2: her house and she got to host the family for
- 1:44Speaker 2: the birthday party and it was it was terrific. So
- 1:46Speaker 2: so unfortunately, uh, you know, I was not I'm more

- 2:09Speaker 1: Yeah that's good. I'm actually glad that you got to
- 2:11Speaker 1: take time and enjoy that with family because uh, you know,
- 2:17Speaker 1: like you said, these are those times where you need
- 2:20Speaker 1: to need to enjoy those. So his time life is short,
- 2:26Speaker 1: you know, the tragedy with Kean k Karen Lacey, with
- 2:33Speaker 1: l s U and then there's just so many things
- 2:36Speaker 1: that life is short. So you want to make sure

- 2:43Speaker 1: I want to give a specially shout out to to
- 2:45Speaker 1: some of the guys to what was it this weekend.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all saw Dion Bergs and a
- 2:53Speaker 1: few other players got baptized today. I was actually talking
- 2:57Speaker 1: to Reggie Yep, you said Van Mitchell was on there
- 3:02Speaker 1: up there too.
- 3:02Speaker 2: He was one of them too.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Yeah, not that it's awesome. I am glad to hear.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I was talking to Reggie Powers Junior, you know, the
- 3:16Speaker 1: pops of RP three. We were we were chopping it
- 3:20Speaker 1: up at the combine or whatnot. Actually we were on
- 3:23Speaker 1: the same plane coming back to Oklahoma City because I
- 3:25Speaker 1: was flying in from work and he was flying in
- 3:27Speaker 1: for the combine and see the kiddo. And he was
- 3:30Speaker 1: telling me that that some of the players were going
- 3:34Speaker 1: to get baptized. And I was like really, He's like, yeah,
- 3:40Speaker 1: I'm leaving out Monday because of it, and so I
- 3:43Speaker 1: was like okay. And so you get to see like
- 3:46Speaker 1: Dion Burgs and a few of the other ones actually
- 3:49Speaker 1: got themselves baptized. So I wanted to give a special
- 3:53Speaker 1: shout out to the kiddos on that. Good to see them,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you know, doing things that you know, make them make
- 4:01Speaker 1: everybody proud. But that's one of the major big ones.
- 4:07Speaker 1: But we had the combine over the weekend, and of
- 4:09Speaker 1: course the questions have been asked, how do we actually
- 4:13Speaker 1: feel about said combine? Coop, did you even get a
- 4:17Speaker 1: chance to take a gander at it?
- 4:20Speaker 2: You know, I just saw a lot of the clips
- 4:21Speaker 2: on the socials. Didn't get a chance to go back
- 4:24Speaker 2: and watch. And but you know, I have heard people's
- 4:29Speaker 2: assessments of what was going on. You know, Thank god
- 4:32Speaker 2: kill Gundy's out there to slam to the university whenever
- 4:35Speaker 2: he gets an opportunity to, you know, he you know
- 4:38Speaker 2: posted you know from fifty thousand to five thousand, what's
- 4:41Speaker 2: going on with college football? And I you know again
- 4:44Speaker 2: you you pivot and everything's going on. Let's go macro Jay,
- 4:48Speaker 2: Like you look across college football right now and you
- 4:51Speaker 2: see some of the things that are going on in
- 4:53Speaker 2: which we will talk about and to you know, to
- 4:55Speaker 2: say that like you pivoted away from you know, more
- 4:58Speaker 2: of a a scrimmage to more of a family environment.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And just for everybody to come out and you know
- 5:04Speaker 2: at least have something to do. You know, if they
- 5:06Speaker 2: were planning, it just doesn't look like it just doesn't
- 5:10Speaker 2: look like the people made the trip that you know
- 5:13Speaker 2: usually you know happens, you know, right around this time
- 5:16Speaker 2: of the year. So you got to kind of get
- 5:19Speaker 2: back to the drawing board and see what you can do,
- 5:21Speaker 2: because this was a big This is a big piece
- 5:23Speaker 2: of of the I guess, in between the end of
- 5:27Speaker 2: the season and you know, fall camp, and so I
- 5:30Speaker 2: think that's where people want to see something that resembles football.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Because as as cool as the UFL or XFL or
- 5:36Speaker 2: GFL or you know, pi FL whatever it's called. Now,
- 5:41Speaker 2: you know that that the lower forms of football, they
- 5:44Speaker 2: just don't satiate the pali at the palette like you
- 5:47Speaker 2: know a spring game does. But again, you know, I
- 5:51Speaker 2: saw some really cool things. You got a chance to
- 5:53Speaker 2: see some highlights for stuff. So if there wasn't a
- 5:56Speaker 2: lot of people there, you know, at least you got
- 5:58Speaker 2: a chance to see, you know, of the service that's
- 6:00Speaker 2: going on with the kids, you know, you know, hanging
- 6:03Speaker 2: out with some of the fans. You know, there was
- 6:05Speaker 2: a you know, a lot of actual football esque, you know,
- 6:08Speaker 2: stuff going on, and you know that that's that's what
- 6:11Speaker 2: we what we came here for was for a little
- 6:14Speaker 2: bit of spring football.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the point of being at an
- 6:17Speaker 1: event like this. So you know, I was there in
- 6:19Speaker 1: the stands enjoying it. And this is some of the
- 6:21Speaker 1: seven oh seven stuff. I talked about it earlier on
- 6:25Speaker 1: my morning after this morning when I talked how I
- 6:27Speaker 1: felt about the combine and kind of to give y'all
- 6:31Speaker 1: the cliffs notes on what I felt is this, it
- 6:42Speaker 1: left a lot to be desired, And the biggest problem
- 6:45Speaker 1: is is that it was not built for streaming format.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Like it's not it. We weren't prepared for it as
- 6:52Speaker 1: a streaming format. So like for example, the A day one,
- 6:54Speaker 1: like they did an A day spring game last year
- 6:57Speaker 1: and this year they did at Alabama did a practice
- 6:59Speaker 1: similar to what Oklahoma did, and their attendance was like
- 7:03Speaker 1: a third actually it was like a tenth, like four
- 7:08Speaker 1: for spring game. It was small for practice similar to us.
- 7:12Speaker 1: We probably saw maybe a ten percent of fans there
- 7:18Speaker 1: this year, so it was a tenth of what normally
- 7:19Speaker 1: would be And for me, like I said, it left
- 7:22Speaker 1: alot of the desire. In person, it was not bad,
- 7:25Speaker 1: like this was fun watching these seven on sevens. Like
- 7:28Speaker 1: seeing this, yeh, this was a good time. I actually
- 7:30Speaker 1: enjoyed that. You could see some of the wide receivers
- 7:32Speaker 1: make moves, you could see some of the you saw
- 7:38Speaker 1: some of the you know, the defensive, the offensive, deep
- 7:41Speaker 1: the line do a little bit of going back and forth.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But you really got to see the corners and the
- 7:46Speaker 1: dbs go against each other. You saw the running backs
- 7:49Speaker 1: cut through holes. You got to see some passes like
- 7:51Speaker 1: this one here from a tier. You saw my teier
- 7:53Speaker 1: tuck and run. The big problem was is that in
- 7:58Speaker 1: a television production you can't use the infield audio as
- 8:06Speaker 1: your feed because they're talking about stuff that has nothing
- 8:11Speaker 1: to do with your showing on the screen. To me,
- 8:13Speaker 1: you need to take more of an NFL Red Zone
- 8:15Speaker 1: Scott Hansen approach and have Toby Rowland to it where
- 8:19Speaker 1: you jump from this position group and you watch some
- 8:21Speaker 1: of it and you focus on the key players, like
- 8:24Speaker 1: the ones that people are really to see, like some
- 8:25Speaker 1: of the young players. Typically it's the young players are
- 8:27Speaker 1: the ones that are going to be starters next year
- 8:29Speaker 1: for the first time, and then you want to see
- 8:31Speaker 1: the vet you jump around to that you jump from
- 8:34Speaker 1: like the lineman battle to the drills with the quarterbacks
- 8:37Speaker 1: throw in a particular wide receivers. Oh, this is one
- 8:39Speaker 1: of his new targets. Blah blah blah. So there was
- 8:42Speaker 1: so many components that could have been great that they
- 8:46Speaker 1: you can obviously see that it was put together last minute,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and I hate to throw the shade at them in that.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I still enjoyed myself in person because the thing that
- 8:56Speaker 1: made it great was for those that did pull up,
- 9:01Speaker 1: was that you got to see all the autographs. Jeohn
- 9:04Speaker 1: Matier was literally doing autographs from the start, and he
- 9:09Speaker 1: was like the last dude to leave. I left slightly early,
- 9:12Speaker 1: but as the lines were dwindling, you could see Jeo
- 9:14Speaker 1: Mateer going all the way around from the top portion
- 9:17Speaker 1: of here. You saw him going all the way from
- 9:19Speaker 1: the from the opposite side view that I'm showing now,
- 9:23Speaker 1: all the way around to the actual other side of
- 9:26Speaker 1: the field. It was looped around with fans getting autographs.
- 9:30Speaker 1: It was actually quite amazing to see how that he
- 9:34Speaker 1: was willing to stay and do that. But yeah, he
- 9:40Speaker 1: took like an hour extra doing signatures. It was pretty cool.
- 9:43Speaker 1: That to me is leadership.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and hey, listen, I've got one of my family
- 9:51Speaker 2: members who is a big Ou fan. He got a
- 9:54Speaker 2: selfie with Jeometier. So Trey, you know, if you're watching
- 10:00Speaker 2: and I saw yours, you know, there was there were
- 10:02Speaker 2: there were there were a lot of things. I saw
- 10:04Speaker 2: a lot of selfies with Draumeterier and a lot of
- 10:06Speaker 2: selfies with you know, the players, and you know that's
- 10:09Speaker 2: where you were going to have to uh make up
- 10:12Speaker 2: for the lack of the game, because let mean, let's
- 10:14Speaker 2: be honest, last year, you know, we spent a lot
- 10:16Speaker 2: of the game under the you know, under the stadium
- 10:18Speaker 2: talking with parents. So like there was a there was
- 10:21Speaker 2: a lot of that last year. And then you know,
- 10:23Speaker 2: once you you know, get almost an hour into it,
- 10:27Speaker 2: it kind of turns into a situation where you've got
- 10:30Speaker 2: names that you know may never see the field out
- 10:33Speaker 2: there doing their thing, and so, uh, you know, you
- 10:35Speaker 2: can can you can kind of get out and do
- 10:38Speaker 2: some other stuff. But again, you've got across the college
- 10:42Speaker 2: football You've got every single you know, major program doing
- 10:46Speaker 2: pretty much the same thing, and uh, you know, they
- 10:49Speaker 2: still still good opportunity to bring some recruits in, spend
- 10:53Speaker 2: some time with them, give them a chance to kind
- 10:55Speaker 2: of see, you know, what the the production on the
- 10:57Speaker 2: on the on a game week is, and you know,
- 10:59Speaker 2: to have a game type of a scenario where you
- 11:03Speaker 2: have more open opportunity to have a conversation you know,
- 11:06Speaker 2: with you know, the fan base and to you know,
- 11:09Speaker 2: really show some things different. So I mean, next year
- 11:11Speaker 2: you're just going to have to you know, find out
- 11:14Speaker 2: what's going to happen early. Are you going to do
- 11:17Speaker 2: a spring game or no? And if you're not, let's
- 11:20Speaker 2: put some thought process into this now, because if you
- 11:23Speaker 2: try to just kind of last second it like you
- 11:26Speaker 2: did this year, I mean, it might be the last
- 11:28Speaker 2: year that it happens, because I mean, I don't know
- 11:30Speaker 2: how many people are going to be willing to come
- 11:32Speaker 2: back in for that unless they just saw the you know,
- 11:35Speaker 2: volume of autograph opportunities and and make it happen. I
- 11:39Speaker 2: know our boy PG would love to have a little
- 11:40Speaker 2: Danny Stutsman autograph. And so you know, if you bring
- 11:44Speaker 2: back you know, past players and you know that can happen,
- 11:48Speaker 2: then maybe that's something big. But I think it's a
- 11:50Speaker 2: new opportunity. I know I saw you know some of
- 11:53Speaker 2: the older older heads out there, Rocky Kalmus was out
- 11:56Speaker 2: there hanging out, probably hanging out watching his son do
- 11:59Speaker 2: some stuff. And so you gotta think that there are
- 12:03Speaker 2: there are some opportunities there and it's it's gonna you know,
- 12:07Speaker 2: you gotta kind of just make the best of a situation.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Shout out Tony Kuno, thank you for that, Sean. Yeah,
- 12:13Speaker 1: And that's exactly what it was. It was one of
- 12:14Speaker 1: those they basically said, nah, you gotta do something, bro.
- 12:18Speaker 1: We can't. We started selling for an event, and I
- 12:21Speaker 1: understand that you're fearful of injuries or whatever, but we've
- 12:25Speaker 1: already sold this event, so we can't like not do it.
- 12:29Speaker 1: We gotta give the people something. You gotta give the
- 12:32Speaker 1: people something. And that's kind of the situation you run
- 12:34Speaker 1: into is. And I agree with you here. Sports you
- 12:36Speaker 1: make you a point. Spring games are always I mean,
- 12:38Speaker 1: you know, I mean they're kind of pointless. I agree,
- 12:41Speaker 1: because no matter what you can show in a spring
- 12:45Speaker 1: game in practice what you want and it doesn't mean
- 12:48Speaker 1: that it's gonna be you know, the real that that
- 12:51Speaker 1: is where you run into Your biggest problem is is
- 12:54Speaker 1: that you can make it seem like anything and That's
- 12:58Speaker 1: also where the biggest problem came into this is is
- 13:01Speaker 1: that like, here's some of the more like the seven
- 13:04Speaker 1: on seven stuff, watching material, just launch it to wide receivers,
- 13:08Speaker 1: good time, but it's not Last year was not a
- 13:15Speaker 1: good representation of what the offense was. For example, I
- 13:18Speaker 1: had a conversation with Samuel Masigo, I talked to Reggie Powers.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I saw actually we're talking about legends. I actually ran
- 13:26Speaker 1: into Paul Thompson me and him chopped it up for
- 13:28Speaker 1: them or Whatno, I'm gonna see about getting him back
- 13:31Speaker 1: on in the future. One of my favorite people. The
- 13:34Speaker 1: stories he gave on the A and M game on
- 13:36Speaker 1: here were awesome. Go back and check out that live
- 13:38Speaker 1: that video from a while ago. That was a great
- 13:40Speaker 1: time we were having just laughing at them dudes blowing
- 13:43Speaker 1: out and M was always a fun deal. But because
- 13:54Speaker 1: it wasn't a representation of the team of what it
- 13:56Speaker 1: was last year, the excitement behind the spring game isn't
- 14:00Speaker 1: there as much to me now. Granted, I'd say showing
- 14:15Speaker 1: the fans what a practice look like is still pretty
- 14:19Speaker 1: cool to me. Because most fans don't get to see this.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Most most have no clue.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And that's a cool component because if you look at it,
- 14:29Speaker 1: you're getting to see some vicly like we got to
- 14:31Speaker 1: see some big ivan carry on is out there. He
- 14:33Speaker 1: just made the catch. We're getting to see big healthy.
- 14:36Speaker 1: You get to see that all your wide receivers are
- 14:38Speaker 1: actually healthy besides your two gibsons, which is unfortunate. But
- 14:41Speaker 1: we will talk about the news on him in a
- 14:44Speaker 1: bit because I think that that's some huge stuff to
- 14:46Speaker 1: talk about. But the biggest component here is we got
- 14:50Speaker 1: to see some stuff we'd never got to see before.
- 14:52Speaker 1: You get to see some players move around that you've
- 14:54Speaker 1: been hoping to see, so you got some confirmation, Like
- 14:57Speaker 1: I know that everybody feels that the coaching staff is
- 14:59Speaker 1: feeding his bs on certain things. So you go out
- 15:03Speaker 1: there and you see Salchuk running the ball, you see
- 15:05Speaker 1: I'm carrying on making a catch. You see certain dbs
- 15:08Speaker 1: out there. You're like, oh, so we are good, they
- 15:12Speaker 1: are gonna play, they are healthy. That feels good a
- 15:15Speaker 1: lot better than what most people think. Cool.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, and again it's would you rather have
- 15:23Speaker 2: nothing at all and just practice and more kind of
- 15:27Speaker 2: just you know, fed information coming out of the practice field,
- 15:31Speaker 2: or would you rather have an opportunity to where people
- 15:33Speaker 2: get a chance to see with their own eyes what
- 15:35Speaker 2: some of these things look like. And you know, again
- 15:38Speaker 2: you're running seven on seven, so you're not showing a
- 15:40Speaker 2: lot of you're not showing a lot of anything outside
- 15:44Speaker 2: of just you know, one on one efforts. You know,
- 15:46Speaker 2: between defense backs and the wide receivers. You know, you
- 15:50Speaker 2: get live throws from the quarterback. But he doesn't have
- 15:53Speaker 2: anybody in his face, he doesn't have n't any focus
- 15:55Speaker 2: on him. And so this is uh, I mean, it
- 15:59Speaker 2: is something you could have nothing. We could be talking
- 16:02Speaker 2: about another you know press conference coming up on Monday
- 16:05Speaker 2: or Tuesday, and that would be it. But you know,
- 16:08Speaker 2: there's a lot you know, you saw I know that
- 16:11Speaker 2: we saw some Taylor Tatum stuff up up out there.
- 16:13Speaker 2: You saw Kenny out there running some stuff. I mean,
- 16:17Speaker 2: there were there were some questions that a lot of
- 16:19Speaker 2: people have you know, been asking that that showed up
- 16:23Speaker 2: you know through this, so you did get something.
- 16:26Speaker 1: No, yeah, you got a little bit of what you
- 16:28Speaker 1: hope to see in parts next year. So there were
- 16:32Speaker 1: no injuries knock on wood that we saw. Fans got
- 16:38Speaker 1: to just enjoy some football. If anything, topa this is
- 16:45Speaker 1: a darn good idea. Maybe in the future, I do
- 16:48Speaker 1: like this idea of a concert afterwards. But but the
- 16:51Speaker 1: the biggest piece that probably made it good for fans
- 16:55Speaker 1: to show up for was the fact that players were
- 16:57Speaker 1: giving autographs willingly. They were really excited about it. You
- 17:02Speaker 1: saw as fans were screaming their name. There's a lot
- 17:06Speaker 1: of kids that was out there screaming names, and the
- 17:07Speaker 1: players would turn, smile, walk over, sign take a selfie.
- 17:11Speaker 1: There was a lot of that. It's good and that
- 17:14Speaker 1: was really good. Even Jane Jackson was like, thank somebody
- 17:19Speaker 1: for thanking him for giving him a picture, and he said,
- 17:21Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm in this position. So you got
- 17:26Speaker 1: to enjoy those ports, and I think that those are
- 17:30Speaker 1: kind of more memorable. Those are the things that to
- 17:32Speaker 1: me kind of are more important. That's what you wanted
- 17:35Speaker 1: to get out of all of this, is that part.
- 17:37Speaker 1: So I was happy for that. But yeah, that's really
- 17:44Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, that was about it. That's basically what
- 17:47Speaker 1: you got out of it. If they do this again,
- 17:53Speaker 1: the way they need to fix this is one you
- 18:02Speaker 1: need to actually publicize this better and talk about what
- 18:07Speaker 1: you're gonna do. Yeah, to the television product needs to
- 18:10Speaker 1: be closer to something like I said, red zone where
- 18:12Speaker 1: it jumps around from position, group workouts. So when you
- 18:15Speaker 1: can talk about it like they do before the game,
- 18:18Speaker 1: when they talk about this is such and such. You
- 18:20Speaker 1: see him catching passes and stuff, you can talk about
- 18:23Speaker 1: that and have conversation there, Move to the next one,
- 18:25Speaker 1: talk through the next part, move to this one, talk
- 18:28Speaker 1: to the next part. And then the big kicker is
- 18:31Speaker 1: they need to expand the seven on seven to longer
- 18:34Speaker 1: than like thirty minutes. That should be like two hours
- 18:36Speaker 1: of seven on seven moving up and down the field.
- 18:39Speaker 1: To me, everyone would like that. That's the big one.
- 18:43Speaker 1: But now I tell you, man, Yeah, Susie's not only
- 18:48Speaker 1: a huge, he's a monster of a human, nicest kid
- 18:53Speaker 1: I ever met. Met him as well, went to the
- 18:54Speaker 1: field with RP two and met him and a few
- 18:58Speaker 1: others like yeah, that's pretty freaking yeah, pretty dope. So
- 19:03Speaker 1: that's kind of my thoughts on the combine. I watched
- 19:06Speaker 1: the TV product. Yeah, go back and watch it if
- 19:09Speaker 1: you want just to laugh at it, but I mean it,
- 19:13Speaker 1: it's much better to watch with the sound off. I'm
- 19:15Speaker 1: just gonna be honest, and there's nothing against our announcers
- 19:18Speaker 1: or talkers. It's just nothing had anything to do with anything.
- 19:20Speaker 1: It was just all over the place and it had nothing.
- 19:23Speaker 1: It was not their fault. You could tell that this
- 19:26Speaker 1: was thrown the rather quickly, but at least the recruits
- 19:29Speaker 1: that got to be there got to hang out see
- 19:31Speaker 1: some ball. And it was also not good for any
- 19:34Speaker 1: other program around the country, like this is how spring
- 19:37Speaker 1: games went. Yeah, but possibly we may get where they
- 19:45Speaker 1: do a spring scrimmage with somebody next year. Colorado and
- 19:49Speaker 1: Syracuse threw it out there and it sounds like next
- 19:58Speaker 1: year maybe something to be considered. Keep your eyes on
- 20:03Speaker 1: that one. So let me what you think. Hop in
- 20:08Speaker 1: the comments. We want to hear your thoughts. Coop. We
- 20:10Speaker 1: gotta talk about this Nico Yama lava stuff. We're gonna
- 20:13Speaker 1: talk which will end with the Nico talk, but we're
- 20:18Speaker 1: gonna jump into talking about the the press conference and
- 20:23Speaker 1: the conversations that not only been our buckle and preventables
- 20:27Speaker 1: had transfer portal components or whatnot. But I want to
- 20:30Speaker 1: shout out our guys over there. Ad bag Man Water
- 20:34Speaker 1: shot me a case of these bad boys. I want
- 20:36Speaker 1: to shout them out. We're gonna start working with them
- 20:38Speaker 1: coming this season, mainly because they're putting together water full
- 20:41Speaker 1: of electric lights purified and it's all in il driven. Baby.
- 20:45Speaker 1: This stuff goes to the n I L. So we're
- 20:50Speaker 1: gonna support them, one bottle at a time, going to
- 20:53Speaker 1: N I L. Check out bag Man Beverages, following them
- 20:56Speaker 1: on the Bird app. We're gonna show up some love
- 20:58Speaker 1: and like I said, we're work with him this year.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Coop real quick. Michael Patterson McDonald's hits the portal, so
- 21:08Speaker 1: we got our second portal entry him, Devon Mitchell, which
- 21:13Speaker 1: is still some shock. Devon Mitchell was baptized with everybody
- 21:16Speaker 1: else today. That is crazy. It's crazy news man. Maybe
- 21:20Speaker 1: he's working his uh way to trying to come back.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see, but anyway, Michael hit the
- 21:30Speaker 1: portal and it sounds like because he was dealing with
- 21:33Speaker 1: some initial injuries, he's just start to fall down that
- 21:37Speaker 1: depth chart. And when you look at the depth chart,
- 21:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna put I'm gonna pull up the roster for
- 21:42Speaker 1: y'all in a second. He just did not get lucky
- 21:45Speaker 1: enough to be able to stick around.
- 21:47Speaker 2: What you think, Well, you know, we we caught up
- 21:51Speaker 2: with his Dad. I think it was right before the opener,
- 21:55Speaker 2: the home opener here this year, when we were leaving
- 21:58Speaker 2: campus corner and walking over and you know, he did
- 22:00Speaker 2: deal with some injuries. It's we're we're getting more and
- 22:06Speaker 2: more closer to these situations where it's it is one
- 22:11Speaker 2: hundred percent in just a business. And you know, when
- 22:14Speaker 2: college football was created, Jay, it was you know about
- 22:19Speaker 2: university pride, right, it was we've got a group of
- 22:22Speaker 2: people who also play a sport here, you know, let's
- 22:25Speaker 2: get together and and you know, go go go play
- 22:28Speaker 2: these people. Obviously full college football has you know, became
- 22:33Speaker 2: a massive, massive enterprise now and so you're going to
- 22:39Speaker 2: find and we've been we've been bringing this up for
- 22:41Speaker 2: two years. You know, just with the number of people
- 22:45Speaker 2: that you're gonna see leaving, nobody wants to. I don't
- 22:48Speaker 2: think anybody really wants to like join the team, you know,
- 22:51Speaker 2: for a year or two and then find out that
- 22:53Speaker 2: like they just don't have a spot. So I gotta
- 22:57Speaker 2: say this is, you know, whoever we see. I mean,
- 23:00Speaker 2: these guys chose Oklahoma at one point for you know,
- 23:04Speaker 2: one reason or the other, and we've put you know,
- 23:07Speaker 2: emotions behind him. But you know again, this is you know,
- 23:10Speaker 2: year three or year two, you're not really seeing any
- 23:15Speaker 2: any playing time. He's got a group of people out
- 23:18Speaker 2: in front of him, which happened just to be kind
- 23:22Speaker 2: of the strength of the team. You know, you've got
- 23:24Speaker 2: the defensive line, you've got the safety room slash cheetah
- 23:27Speaker 2: slash linebacker. We know that Michael was doing a lot
- 23:31Speaker 2: of special teams when he was healthy. But you know,
- 23:35Speaker 2: people are gonna go and so you know, to the family,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you know, we love you, guys, we want nothing but
- 23:41Speaker 2: the best for you. You know, never lose contact because you
- 23:45Speaker 2: know you're part of our family now too. But you're
- 23:48Speaker 2: just gonna see more and more of this and sometimes
- 23:51Speaker 2: the names are really gonna sting, and sometimes it's just
- 23:54Speaker 2: gonna you know, kind of drive like this one does,
- 23:55Speaker 2: where it's just like, man, I just hate that for
- 23:57Speaker 2: the kid because you know, he was one that I
- 23:59Speaker 2: wanted to see, you know, an Oklahoma boy who decided
- 24:02Speaker 2: to uh you know, he was part of that that group,
- 24:05Speaker 2: with that Carl Albert group, and you know there's a
- 24:09Speaker 2: ton of talent coming out of that area. Yeah, not
- 24:13Speaker 2: everybody's gonna end up being here, So give him the best.
- 24:17Speaker 2: We wish him the best, you know, Demon Mitchell's same thing. Uh,
- 24:21Speaker 2: you know, it's it's just the business aspect of it
- 24:24Speaker 2: is going to always be looming, and you got to
- 24:28Speaker 2: have people who are you know, capable to do something.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to the safety room here, that's
- 24:36Speaker 1: kind of what you get to like. So with Jade Hardy,
- 24:39Speaker 1: you know man Man, Peyton Bowen, Robert Spears, Jenning's, Marcus Wimbley,
- 24:43Speaker 1: Michael Boglanowski, Raggie Powers who plays both Heck Taylor Heim
- 24:47Speaker 1: can also shift into the safety role and in til
- 24:50Speaker 1: Can Kendle Daniels. You had a long list. I mean
- 24:53Speaker 1: your three deep is pretty deep already, and that to
- 24:59Speaker 1: me is probably what hurt Mikeel dealing with injuries with you.
- 25:03Speaker 1: If you without with those injuries, man, it kind of
- 25:06Speaker 1: it throws you down. But that's unfortunate for our guy,
- 25:10Speaker 1: Mike Keel. Hopefully, you know, he'll probably find a good
- 25:13Speaker 1: landing spot. He'll probably play. I bet you'll get into
- 25:16Speaker 1: nicely the G five or P four and get him
- 25:18Speaker 1: some opportunities, kind of like Day mccullo. That was kind
- 25:21Speaker 1: of like why you lost Day McCulla A couple of
- 25:22Speaker 1: years ago, even with his size and stature, the room
- 25:25Speaker 1: was just that deep.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:26Speaker 1: And because yeah, but being able to see, like Coach
- 25:30Speaker 1: Powers kind of mentions here, being able to see some
- 25:32Speaker 1: of these players and they're to see their true sizes. Yeah,
- 25:35Speaker 1: because Reggie Powers is not five of us all. He's
- 25:39Speaker 1: six' one. He's he's six to one, and he told
- 25:42Speaker 1: me he's two ten Jesus.
- 25:45Speaker 2: And that's that's probably like where he was after the
- 25:50Speaker 2: uh you know, after he got up stretched, had his breakfast,
- 25:53Speaker 2: had his morning evacuation and everything at two ten. Liked
- 25:57Speaker 2: dude just continues to become more more of a physical presence.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And you know, listen, Uh, there's there's there's there's no
- 26:06Speaker 2: lie into what I'm about to say. We love the
- 26:10Speaker 2: opportunity to you know, chop it up with you know,
- 26:14Speaker 2: Boganowski and Powers and the parents and stuff like that,
- 26:17Speaker 2: and so to see the kids, you know, take that
- 26:20Speaker 2: step because it's hard, Jay. You develop relationships and then
- 26:23Speaker 2: you see a guy like Michael you know, who is
- 26:25Speaker 2: going to move on. You see a guy like Von
- 26:27Speaker 2: Mitchell who's going to move on. You know, some of
- 26:29Speaker 2: these recruits who you know, we we do interviews with
- 26:32Speaker 2: and you know they're they're in and then they're out.
- 26:35Speaker 2: It's just it's it's tough. It's because we you know,
- 26:38Speaker 2: we we have the uh, the investment, because we do
- 26:41Speaker 2: care about these people just as people first and foremost,
- 26:44Speaker 2: and then we excited about them as football players too.
- 26:46Speaker 2: So man, yeah, you know, getting a chance to that
- 26:51Speaker 2: safety room is just a little bit of a a
- 26:54Speaker 2: freak uh you know, situation, and you know it to
- 26:58Speaker 2: be here now where we were versus you know, twenty
- 27:01Speaker 2: eighteen is just so much better because in twenty eighteen,
- 27:06Speaker 2: I mean, we're just looking for somebody to stop the
- 27:08Speaker 2: bleeding at safety and now you've got a bunch of
- 27:11Speaker 2: guys who are probably gonna go start at other team
- 27:14Speaker 2: because the room's just loaded.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Having a full room just warms my heart because we
- 27:23Speaker 1: talked about dbs that we were wondering who was going
- 27:26Speaker 1: to be the one to step up in the corner spot.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Luckily we have two vets in theory, Eli and Gentry.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Jacobe's still coming around. But you got a lot of
- 27:37Speaker 1: young players with Jordan and Nucombe that you're waiting to
- 27:43Speaker 1: see who jumps up and then three true freshmen. But
- 27:47Speaker 1: you got to see all of them in in the
- 27:53Speaker 1: at the combine, which helps you got to see all
- 27:56Speaker 1: of them actually give you something. So yeah, I don't
- 28:02Speaker 1: like to see that mike L bounced out, but again
- 28:05Speaker 1: we understand why because he want an opportunity to play,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and he's gonna get an opportunity to play somewhere, so
- 28:12Speaker 1: shout out to him. Gonna miss him. But I think
- 28:16Speaker 1: the room is gonna be still good. We like I said,
- 28:18Speaker 1: we got a lot of players. We still got a
- 28:19Speaker 1: couple players still need to come in as high schoolers,
- 28:22Speaker 1: which I always forget about. You still got CJ. Nixon
- 28:26Speaker 1: as well as Marcus James that will be coming at
- 28:30Speaker 1: linebacker and edge. So maybe we'll grab one more out
- 28:36Speaker 1: of the portal, somebody young, maybe, but most likely we're
- 28:40Speaker 1: gonna use that spot for a linebacker because we need
- 28:45Speaker 1: a young linebacker. We need. You're probably gonna need to
- 28:51Speaker 1: pick up one more defensive lineman just to have an
- 28:54Speaker 1: extra body, and probably one more corner. So you probably
- 28:59Speaker 1: need three des out of the portal to make sure
- 29:04Speaker 1: that you've got a full roster going forth.
- 29:06Speaker 2: So it sounds like, really the only thing that you
- 29:10Speaker 2: saw which was an absolute need, this weekend was a kicker.
- 29:16Speaker 2: You know, that is going to continue to be a
- 29:18Speaker 2: looming situation. You've got two guys who can do it,
- 29:21Speaker 2: but neither of them are really taking the reins. And uh,
- 29:25Speaker 2: I know our boy George Stoyer over here at Sooner Scoop. Uh,
- 29:29Speaker 2: you know, he he was posting out some stuff about
- 29:31Speaker 2: the kicker. Stuff. That's that's that's a big deal because
- 29:35Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to watch this team bust
- 29:39Speaker 2: their backside all year long and then to be put
- 29:41Speaker 2: in a situation where you've got nothing at kicker, and
- 29:45Speaker 2: that's where you lose a game. Uh, you know, whether
- 29:48Speaker 2: it's missing a game, you know, missing a field goal
- 29:51Speaker 2: at some point throughout the game, extra points you know,
- 29:55Speaker 2: game game winning or game tying field goal at the
- 29:58Speaker 2: end of the end of the game. So so it
- 30:00Speaker 2: looks like we need a kicker, but you want to uh,
- 30:05Speaker 2: I guess what would be the word too, to really
- 30:08Speaker 2: be you want to really just add extra clouts. You know,
- 30:12Speaker 2: in some of these areas, it's not like you're looking
- 30:14Speaker 2: for anywhere. It's where you're you know, outside of maybe
- 30:17Speaker 2: tied end. It's not like you're looking for someone who
- 30:19Speaker 2: is actually going to be coming and you know, threatened
- 30:21Speaker 2: to start. You want bodies for rotation and Jay it's
- 30:27Speaker 2: been a minute competitive depth, but you're gonna need that
- 30:33Speaker 2: because again still sec with the situation that we've dealt
- 30:38Speaker 2: with on the injury front. I don't think that you
- 30:42Speaker 2: have any position that you want to go into the
- 30:44Speaker 2: season with just the right amount of bodies and you're
- 30:47Speaker 2: clinging on to your pearls going. You know, as long
- 30:50Speaker 2: as nobody gets hurt, we're fine. You know, you don't
- 30:53Speaker 2: want to find yourself in that scenario. You want to
- 30:55Speaker 2: find yourself in a spot to where you've got the
- 30:58Speaker 2: you know what, the preat amount of depth on each
- 31:01Speaker 2: position to get you through the year.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Adding some additional pieces help could could
- 31:09Speaker 1: really help with that, Like you said, long term and whatnot.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Some them, Yeah, I had that competitive depth, which is
- 31:18Speaker 1: critical if you want to see success in the sec
- 31:21Speaker 1: and we've got them. We've got we've got the competitive
- 31:23Speaker 1: depth that we've been looking for.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Two of them. You sorry, son of a gun, but
- 31:29Speaker 2: you know what Billy and says. It says exactly what
- 31:31Speaker 2: we all need to trust in. Jim Naggy is right
- 31:35Speaker 2: on it, right now, I promise you the moment that
- 31:37Speaker 2: we realize that there's a need, somebody else is already
- 31:40Speaker 2: on it. And that's Naggi's staff. He was on the
- 31:43Speaker 2: Oklahoma breakdown at the end of the week and you know,
- 31:47Speaker 2: had a lot to say, and it sounds like it
- 31:50Speaker 2: is just I mean, it's just, hey, this is a need.
- 31:53Speaker 2: We have finances to go fill this need, and we
- 31:55Speaker 2: will go do it. And the amount of film that
- 31:58Speaker 2: you know, him and his staff are are looking at.
- 32:02Speaker 2: By the time we realize that there's a need, these
- 32:05Speaker 2: guys are working and I don't want to get too
- 32:08Speaker 2: deep into this, Jay, but it sounds like we're doing
- 32:10Speaker 2: the things that we need to do in order to
- 32:13Speaker 2: fill these positions too. Uh. You know, whether it is
- 32:16Speaker 2: called tampering, whether it's called you know, just putting out
- 32:20Speaker 2: the feelers, whatever it is, these guys are. You know,
- 32:24Speaker 2: they're they're they're looking after it, and they're they're finding out,
- 32:27Speaker 2: you know, who's out there who's willing. You still have
- 32:30Speaker 2: a lot of people across the entire country and a
- 32:33Speaker 2: lot of these players on these teams like Stanford and
- 32:36Speaker 2: col and stuff like that. When those guys are just
- 32:37Speaker 2: looking for uh, you know, football is a passion of theirs,
- 32:41Speaker 2: and they want to play, and they want to play
- 32:42Speaker 2: at the highest level, and all their dreams and thoughts
- 32:46Speaker 2: and preparations, you know, all kind of got taken away
- 32:49Speaker 2: from them, you know, with all the realignment. So, uh,
- 32:52Speaker 2: you continue to see guys jumping in the portal and
- 32:54Speaker 2: what is it? I mean, we're still technically three days
- 32:56Speaker 2: away from the portal opening, so we'll see more of
- 32:59Speaker 2: this stuff, you know, coming down this week, So keep
- 33:01Speaker 2: your eyes peeled on that one because by the time
- 33:03Speaker 2: we probably come on here again, we'll probably have, you know,
- 33:06Speaker 2: a good collection of names to kind of speak to.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah, so keep your eyes open on that. Thank y'all
- 33:12Speaker 1: for pulling up. Hit the like button. If you're new
- 33:14Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five. Next up, Coop,
- 33:18Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the stuff that came out
- 33:21Speaker 1: of the press or have you got a chance to
- 33:22Speaker 1: look at any of the pressers or hear BV and
- 33:25Speaker 1: Buckle and all of them talk great. So the number
- 33:29Speaker 1: one thing that y'all should be excited about, and I
- 33:30Speaker 1: talked about this in the video of Morning After video
- 33:33Speaker 1: this morning, Giovanni Gibson was mentioned about by Breventables. He
- 33:44Speaker 1: talked about him during the presser. He talked about him
- 33:49Speaker 1: during while he's on the field, you know, doing the
- 33:55Speaker 1: interviews with Teddy and him. And what we heard is
- 34:00Speaker 1: BV believes if he stays on schedule, he's back week one.
- 34:05Speaker 1: That is a lot more shocking than I expected. I
- 34:09Speaker 1: thought he's probably gone for the year. But BV says
- 34:13Speaker 1: that he had an injury similar to kend Adobe's, but
- 34:16Speaker 1: it was not as severe as kend Adobe's and that's
- 34:18Speaker 1: because they'd done surgery. Did his surgery, I think Monday
- 34:20Speaker 1: or Tuesday. After surgery, they realized his injury was not
- 34:24Speaker 1: as serious as Kd's and there's a chance that he'll
- 34:27Speaker 1: be back, which is four months technically down for context,
- 34:34Speaker 1: KD got hurt end of September and they said that
- 34:36Speaker 1: he was ready to go a month ago, which is
- 34:40Speaker 1: technically six months. I have video of kend Adobe going
- 34:46Speaker 1: through drills looking good. I went and talked to him
- 34:50Speaker 1: on the field. He looks good like no, no, he
- 34:55Speaker 1: had just taped as usual, doing all the movements that
- 34:59Speaker 1: you are said should be and that is the good thing.
- 35:06Speaker 1: He is doing everything needed, so that is a plus.
- 35:09Speaker 1: So there's a good chance we have Giovanni back. I
- 35:14Speaker 1: haven't seen any recent updates on Jayden, but on Jadeen
- 35:18Speaker 1: Gibson j Gibb, but his timetable is still August, so
- 35:25Speaker 1: we probably won't get another update on Jayden until probably
- 35:29Speaker 1: the time I say, July, mainly because that he felt
- 35:36Speaker 1: something I think you said he said, you said this cool,
- 35:38Speaker 1: He's made a step, felt something weird, and they basically said,
- 35:44Speaker 1: you're done.
- 35:46Speaker 2: It's when you're doing recovery. There's there's levels, and a
- 35:53Speaker 2: lot of it is not so much hey can you
- 35:56Speaker 2: go out there and run? It's hey, can you go
- 35:58Speaker 2: out there and run? And then let's monitor what happens
- 36:01Speaker 2: after it. So if you guys have ever had a
- 36:04Speaker 2: torn a cl if you've ever broken an ankle, if
- 36:07Speaker 2: you've ever you know, uh, torn a meniscus, anything like that,
- 36:11Speaker 2: it's not so much the ability to get out and
- 36:14Speaker 2: walk appropriately. It's it's because that that that some of
- 36:18Speaker 2: these you know, the ligaments, especially with when you're breaking
- 36:21Speaker 2: your your your phibula, you're you're those bones are completely
- 36:26Speaker 2: surrounded by muscle ligament, et cetera.
- 36:30Speaker 1: And so especially as he got hurt.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, and so when you have one of
- 36:35Speaker 2: those situations, a lot of the time you won't actually
- 36:38Speaker 2: know the intensity of it until you get in and
- 36:41Speaker 2: the doctors are in there and looking at everything. And listen,
- 36:45Speaker 2: I didn't even say it a holiday and express last night,
- 36:47Speaker 2: so I'm not even going to pretend to be a surgeon.
- 36:50Speaker 2: But I have also, you know, had cleanups gone in
- 36:54Speaker 2: where people went in and took a look at, you know,
- 36:56Speaker 2: my knee and gone, okay, well the menus is gone.
- 37:01Speaker 2: There's nothing else there. The structural portion of it is fine.
- 37:05Speaker 2: You can walk, you could probably run if you ever
- 37:08Speaker 2: want to be, you know, competing at the highest level.
- 37:11Speaker 2: This is what we want to do. Well obviously these
- 37:13Speaker 2: guys are competing at the highest level. So yeah, I mean,
- 37:16Speaker 2: just the news that it could be potentially weak one.
- 37:20Speaker 2: There's a lot of reports out there, and there's going
- 37:23Speaker 2: to continue to be reports out there. And if you're
- 37:26Speaker 2: if you're a person who says, hey, listen, let's uh,
- 37:29Speaker 2: let's let's maybe just you know, press press the brakes,
- 37:32Speaker 2: wait a little bit and find out where we are,
- 37:34Speaker 2: you know, closer to the season. Hey listen, that that's
- 37:38Speaker 2: a that's a pretty safe mindset. To be in and
- 37:40Speaker 2: so I think that that's going to be it is.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You're going to have Jeovanni Gibson is probably going to
- 37:45Speaker 2: be out there, uh, running around at the beginning of
- 37:47Speaker 2: fall camp and testing and seeing where that is. What
- 37:50Speaker 2: does it look like when you go out and run
- 37:52Speaker 2: around and do a live rehab, you know, what does
- 37:56Speaker 2: it feel like the next day? What does it feel
- 37:58Speaker 2: like the next time you go out and run again.
- 38:00Speaker 2: And so when you have a Jovanni Gibson situation, or sorry,
- 38:03Speaker 2: a Jaden Gibson situation, he's out running around and he
- 38:07Speaker 2: makes a cut and he says, well, I kind of
- 38:09Speaker 2: feel something funny right there, and then they're gonna come
- 38:11Speaker 2: in and they're going to watch what does your body do?
- 38:13Speaker 2: And so you never know, and so it's I would
- 38:17Speaker 2: love to say, Jay, I would love to say that, like, hey,
- 38:20Speaker 2: based off of just the medical calendar, we're going to
- 38:23Speaker 2: have this guy back by here. But each person's body
- 38:25Speaker 2: is different, each person's you know, composition of how they've
- 38:30Speaker 2: got everything else around it. And a lot of times
- 38:32Speaker 2: it is is what is you know, does your body
- 38:35Speaker 2: have a really really good I mean, have you taken
- 38:37Speaker 2: care of your body? Have you strengthened a lot of
- 38:39Speaker 2: the areas around those because if your body is pretty strong,
- 38:43Speaker 2: your body will be a little bit more resilient, whereas
- 38:46Speaker 2: if you get hurt. Let's go with your boy Coop here.
- 38:49Speaker 2: If I go out on Tuesday night and I'm playing
- 38:52Speaker 2: basketball pick a ball, and I start running around and
- 38:55Speaker 2: I pop my achilles, my rehab is going to be
- 38:58Speaker 2: completely different from anybody that would be on this team.
- 39:00Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot longer. It's gonna be a
- 39:02Speaker 2: lot slower because my body, my body's just waiting until death,
- 39:06Speaker 2: right now. Hey, not to drag it down.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Yeah, you're oh, that's allid is. We understand that. Don't
- 39:13Speaker 1: worry Bill. We're trying to get Jim on. We're trying
- 39:15Speaker 1: to get Jim Naggie on one day. That would be amazing,
- 39:19Speaker 1: We've asked. So we'll see what happens down the line.
- 39:21Speaker 1: But the good thing is is that Dion Burks appears
- 39:28Speaker 1: to be going. He's out there catching passes during the combine,
- 39:31Speaker 1: So that tells me that I think he is at
- 39:34Speaker 1: the level of good that matters. He I mean, he
- 39:39Speaker 1: was catching touchdowns as they was moved up and down
- 39:41Speaker 1: the field. So that was, of course exciting. Can't beat that.
- 39:45Speaker 1: So you had some Burke's action on that. This opens
- 39:51Speaker 1: up the door for Elijah Thomas and many choice to
- 39:57Speaker 1: really move up the chart to start. Countes Lewis didn't compete. Yeah,
- 40:04Speaker 1: Counts Lewis didn't compete. You saw some sitania you know
- 40:08Speaker 1: him in the slot. It's gonna be ridiculous. Siah Martin
- 40:12Speaker 1: was out there, which was good. Uh, which is a plus.
- 40:16Speaker 1: So I mean, looking over all in the room, you're
- 40:19Speaker 1: about as good as you can you can hope for.
- 40:22Speaker 1: So let me know what y'all think. Hop in the comments,
- 40:26Speaker 1: please thank you for pulling up at the light button.
- 40:29Speaker 1: New to the chance, subscribe, wipe your feet rates, review us,
- 40:33Speaker 1: give us the five stars, and coop. Let me see,
- 40:43Speaker 1: we had some very interesting news over the weekend. Let's
- 40:48Speaker 1: talk about what was going on in college football. Niko
- 40:52Speaker 1: Yama has decided that the transfer portal is the place
- 40:58Speaker 1: to be. So the report came out what Thursday that
- 41:05Speaker 1: by Pete Nako shout out to him.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Yes, he was just bsing fair points. He obviously had
- 41:12Speaker 2: no idea.
- 41:13Speaker 1: No clue, but Nakos did say that uh Nico and
- 41:24Speaker 1: them was asking for renegotiation on his n I l
- 41:30Speaker 1: and after Tennessee, I'm it sounds like was like, nah,
- 41:36Speaker 1: we good. He didn't show up to practice. This was
- 41:41Speaker 1: the funny thing is that the whole family, handlers, family members,
- 41:47Speaker 1: all of them were saying, Nah, this ain't true, this
- 41:50Speaker 1: wasn't happening. We're not doing that. Pete Nakos is lying.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Caught him the BA, They caught him out. They did
- 41:57Speaker 1: all kinds stuff, said kind christal stuff about the man's name.
- 42:00Speaker 2: There was a lot.
- 42:01Speaker 1: They called him everything but a son of God. Then
- 42:07Speaker 1: after that coup, he didn't show up practice. And then
- 42:10Speaker 1: right after that it was found that he had informed
- 42:15Speaker 1: Joey Halsey, the quarterback coach, that he had filed his
- 42:19Speaker 1: paperwork to enter the transfer portal. So the question we
- 42:23Speaker 1: ask here is why didn't lie about it? I understand
- 42:27Speaker 1: that they may not have wanted this information to get out.
- 42:31Speaker 1: But while I no reason to, Pete Nakos and a
- 42:38Speaker 1: few others have written some articles out and this is
- 42:40Speaker 1: something I told you all before. Let me go ahead
- 42:42Speaker 1: and give you guys the lecture I gave you last time.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I understand that y'all don't like how college football is
- 42:49Speaker 1: going now. Nil Era and Transfer Portal totally understand. The
- 42:53Speaker 1: biggest blame here is that the NCAAA felt the need
- 42:56Speaker 1: to do absolutely nothing, and all the grown ups in
- 42:59Speaker 1: the room decided to create these little rules that just
- 43:03Speaker 1: didn't make any sense because they didn't want to actually
- 43:04Speaker 1: make a decision. More So, if they made a decision,
- 43:07Speaker 1: they knew it was gonna be sued. They're gonna get
- 43:08Speaker 1: sued for it, and then we'd have to go through
- 43:10Speaker 1: this litigation anyway. Well, the House Settlement's about to come down,
- 43:15Speaker 1: and it sounds like the House Settlement's gonna have a
- 43:17Speaker 1: few adjustments to it that we weren't prepared for, Like
- 43:19Speaker 1: the roster limits are gonna be increased initially, and it's
- 43:22Speaker 1: gonna tear down over the next few years to make
- 43:24Speaker 1: it easier for the coaching staff to not have to
- 43:27Speaker 1: cut a whole bunch of people within three months like
- 43:29Speaker 1: we had to do. So we may actually add more
- 43:31Speaker 1: players than we released because we'll have more roster spots.
- 43:36Speaker 1: That's a pin for another day. But because the settlement
- 43:40Speaker 1: will be coming down in the next few weeks, everybody,
- 43:44Speaker 1: this is the last summer that all this crazy ish
- 43:49Speaker 1: like this is gonna happen. Contracts will be negotiated different.
- 43:52Speaker 1: There'll probably be options for certain players to get two
- 43:55Speaker 1: year deals, which you gotta remember it's a twofold thing
- 43:58Speaker 1: when it comes to contract. You don't want to give
- 44:01Speaker 1: player contracts and then be upset that said players still
- 44:07Speaker 1: on your roster because you can't get rid of them
- 44:09Speaker 1: because they're still in the contract. It's two way street.
- 44:12Speaker 1: A lot of coaches like the idea of one years
- 44:14Speaker 1: because then they can find they can get rid of
- 44:16Speaker 1: players that they don't want to play anymore. If you
- 44:18Speaker 1: think a player sucks, they can get rid of them.
- 44:21Speaker 1: It's kind of my point something to keep in mind.
- 44:23Speaker 1: You want to have both. You can't have your cake
- 44:25Speaker 1: and eat it too. So this says the last summer,
- 44:29Speaker 1: all this crazy ish is gonna happen. So don't think
- 44:32Speaker 1: that this is what it's gonna look like next summer.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Once that house settlement comes in, revenue share is in place,
- 44:37Speaker 1: and it's actually going to be rules and regulations. It's done.
- 44:40Speaker 1: And this is honestly why I think the Nico situation
- 44:43Speaker 1: went down. It's the last year to grab the last
- 44:45Speaker 1: of that bag. Am I mad at Niko and them
- 44:48Speaker 1: doing it. Absolutely not. It's your priority, it's your prerogative.
- 44:52Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want to do. And I
- 44:54Speaker 1: am just happy that josh Hipel said now we good
- 44:57Speaker 1: because remember Josh Hipel was the offensive court in Oklahoma.
- 45:01Speaker 1: When they kick Red Beaumar off the team, nobody's larger
- 45:05Speaker 1: than the logo and he even said it, nobody's larger
- 45:08Speaker 1: than the seven.
- 45:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:10Speaker 1: So shout out to Josh Haipel for putting his foot
- 45:13Speaker 1: down and saying weed dealing with this ish and he
- 45:16Speaker 1: basically did it for college football. Now for the team
- 45:21Speaker 1: is stupid enough to pay the man the money, they'll
- 45:23Speaker 1: just do it. And they shout out to Niko forgetting
- 45:25Speaker 1: his bread. I have no issue with it. For me,
- 45:27Speaker 1: it's why would you want to play like that on
- 45:29Speaker 1: your team? Anyway? And this is why I say to
- 45:32Speaker 1: you all in the chat, and this is why I'm
- 45:33Speaker 1: giving this long withited lecture on it. Why would you
- 45:36Speaker 1: want to play like that on your roster? These are
- 45:38Speaker 1: the type of players you want to catch, and these
- 45:40Speaker 1: are the type players you want off your team. You want
- 45:43Speaker 1: to be able to find them, sniff them out and
- 45:45Speaker 1: let them go. This is a win for college football.
- 45:48Speaker 1: He can ask no money. Cool, but you don't want
- 45:50Speaker 1: them on your team? Great, you now know he's not
- 45:53Speaker 1: who you want. It's hard. Everybody will put up a
- 45:56Speaker 1: facade up front. They put up that face to get
- 45:59Speaker 1: in the door. The question is who or they are
- 46:01Speaker 1: after they're in the door and having the opportunity to
- 46:04Speaker 1: move dudes around that don't belong in your locker room,
- 46:06Speaker 1: that aren't out there to perform, that aren't working their
- 46:08Speaker 1: butt off, that don't show up to signings. If Matier
- 46:12Speaker 1: didn't show up to the Crimson Combine, I would have
- 46:16Speaker 1: gladly said, hey, may I find we get ready to
- 46:17Speaker 1: do because it's just not a good look.
- 46:22Speaker 2: You just saw it with Zavon Mitchell. Hey buddy, we're
- 46:27Speaker 2: paying you x. The production at this point has been
- 46:31Speaker 2: not what you said, you know what you agreed on.
- 46:36Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll let you finish because there's yeah, there's
- 46:39Speaker 2: tears to my response exactly.
- 46:41Speaker 1: And so so to ask the question that Ben, it's
- 46:44Speaker 1: asking here why what is going to change is the
- 46:48Speaker 1: revenue sharing is going to have an actual structure to it.
- 46:50Speaker 1: This is your cap money, this is the amount that
- 46:52Speaker 1: you can spend. And when that happens everybody's gonna have
- 46:57Speaker 1: a structure of how much they're willing to pay somebody.
- 47:00Speaker 1: If there's anything that Nico just recently did. He just hurt.
- 47:08Speaker 1: He just hurt any high school quarterback coming into this class,
- 47:14Speaker 1: because teams are not gonna look at paying anybody that
- 47:17Speaker 1: much money in high school when they can go get
- 47:20Speaker 1: somebody oft the portal who actually has experience. I know
- 47:23Speaker 1: a lot of you have mentioned Lincoln's not gonna get Nico.
- 47:26Speaker 1: He's not gonna go to USC. I promise you that's
- 47:28Speaker 1: not a situation that they're gonna take into account. It'll
- 47:33Speaker 1: be too much of a pain for them to try
- 47:35Speaker 1: to integrate him into the Big ten. And we've already
- 47:37Speaker 1: seen what Ohio State did to him. Don't think you
- 47:40Speaker 1: want to have that happen to you a second time around.
- 47:42Speaker 1: But the big thing I'm looking at is locations for him, Coop,
- 47:54Speaker 1: if you want me to be honest, I think the
- 47:55Speaker 1: perfect school that's probably gonna end up being in there
- 47:58Speaker 1: for him, North Carolina. I think he's gonna be a
- 48:02Speaker 1: tar heel. That makes the most sense. Who they got
- 48:07Speaker 1: a quarterback, did y'all know about?
- 48:11Speaker 2: I don't know, But they got Bill Belichick and that
- 48:15Speaker 2: guy is one hundred percent business.
- 48:18Speaker 1: I'm sorry, who who have you seen Bill Belichick's Instagram?
- 48:25Speaker 1: That man is enjoying life. He's past that business crap.
- 48:29Speaker 1: That's the reason why I picked him. I think Bill
- 48:31Speaker 1: Belichick's out there having a good time. He's here for
- 48:34Speaker 1: a good time, not a long time.
- 48:36Speaker 2: He uh we were. Yeah, I got a fun story.
- 48:42Speaker 2: I can't really tell, but but I I asked someone
- 48:46Speaker 2: a Bill Belichick question and he was standing right next
- 48:49Speaker 2: to them. You know, which is even more department So
- 48:53Speaker 2: which is fun. But here's what I say, Jay is yeah,
- 48:58Speaker 2: you've got the you, you have the you have the
- 49:04Speaker 2: the world that we're living in to where everything is
- 49:07Speaker 2: continually in flux and this is this is one hundred
- 49:11Speaker 2: percent because the NCAA did not did not step up.
- 49:17Speaker 2: They basically went into preservation mode and just continuum being
- 49:23Speaker 2: the uh the I would almost say it's in a
- 49:26Speaker 2: in a In my role for my big boy job
- 49:30Speaker 2: is I am a channel director. So I've got the
- 49:33Speaker 2: title of director and but I've got the none of
- 49:37Speaker 2: the the day to days of keeping keeping people, you know,
- 49:41Speaker 2: performance reviews, stuff like that. I get to tell them
- 49:44Speaker 2: what to do but I don't have to tell them
- 49:46Speaker 2: to sign ar. I don't have to hire him. And
- 49:48Speaker 2: I think that that's you know, kind of what you
- 49:51Speaker 2: got right now with the Belichick situation is is this
- 49:55Speaker 2: guy is he just wants to see what he can do.
- 49:57Speaker 2: He was offered a lot of money. It was something
- 49:59Speaker 2: that he he was willing to, you know, go give
- 50:01Speaker 2: a shot at. But this whole scenario right now, it
- 50:05Speaker 2: is because the NCAA's inability to find where they actually
- 50:10Speaker 2: have a fit and where they can actually do something.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Nico doing what he's doing. He took his shot and
- 50:19Speaker 2: on your you know, you say that, you know, go
- 50:21Speaker 2: get your bread. Sure, you know, the value is created
- 50:23Speaker 2: by two parties. And if you think you are a
- 50:27Speaker 2: certain amount of value and someone else thinks that you're
- 50:30Speaker 2: the same amount of value, you have an agreement. You
- 50:34Speaker 2: don't need five or six other parties to be accomplices
- 50:37Speaker 2: in this situation. But at the same time, I gotta
- 50:39Speaker 2: say this is Nico didn't warrant more money. He his
- 50:46Speaker 2: leer last year was it was good, but there were
- 50:50Speaker 2: a lot of times to where it wasn't good. And
- 50:53Speaker 2: so when you're going out to go after more money,
- 50:55Speaker 2: I just say this is you saw something. I've heard
- 51:00Speaker 2: some of the stuff of what tennessee was actually having
- 51:03Speaker 2: him do the the massive amount of you know, pr
- 51:08Speaker 2: stuff that he was allegedly going to do. But when
- 51:12Speaker 2: you come out and you I don't know you Paul
- 51:17Speaker 2: an industry expert names uh, and you you resort to that,
- 51:22Speaker 2: it went from business and professional to there's something here.
- 51:27Speaker 2: And the moment you saw those things go, you knew
- 51:30Speaker 2: something was up because On three just does what On
- 51:32Speaker 2: three does during this offseason. They put out content to
- 51:35Speaker 2: to engage people. Uh. You know, if you're going to
- 51:39Speaker 2: put out there, you know, I think I saw someone
- 51:41Speaker 2: you know, the Jackson or sorry, the arch Manning versus
- 51:45Speaker 2: John Mattier, you know who who's going to you know,
- 51:48Speaker 2: there's there was something going out there. It's about engagement
- 51:51Speaker 2: at this point, right And so you know when when
- 51:55Speaker 2: Nakos comes out and says it and immediately you saw
- 51:58Speaker 2: the the the excess of backlog, you thought, okay, there
- 52:02Speaker 2: there might be something here. But this is what we've
- 52:06Speaker 2: all every single fan base has been in this situation
- 52:09Speaker 2: for probably the past two years, was what if this
- 52:14Speaker 2: is a quarterback? What if a quarterback does this not
- 52:17Speaker 2: a defensive tack, not a bar Alexander situation. But what
- 52:20Speaker 2: if a quarterback does this? What if a quarterback on
- 52:22Speaker 2: a big team does this? Because you you had who
- 52:25Speaker 2: was at the U NLV quarterback who you know, did
- 52:29Speaker 2: his shenanigans right at the end of the year, right
- 52:31Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, Every single silly situation
- 52:36Speaker 2: gets you closer to the next silly situation because that
- 52:38Speaker 2: paradigm shift has been shattered, it's been moved, and you see,
- 52:44Speaker 2: you know, the next step of crazy is in the
- 52:47Speaker 2: in you know, in the distance, in the horizon. This
- 52:50Speaker 2: is not good for Tennessee.
- 52:52Speaker 1: Now.
- 52:52Speaker 2: Shout out to Josh Hypel because, like you said, I
- 52:55Speaker 2: never even thought about the Red Bomar stuff. You know
- 52:57Speaker 2: that that that is a big deal. Is Josh got
- 53:01Speaker 2: to see a pretty a couple of situations, the Boemart situation,
- 53:05Speaker 2: He got to see how Bob Stoops handled the Joe
- 53:08Speaker 2: Mixon situation. There were a lot of situations that he,
- 53:12Speaker 2: you know, saw pretty closely and probably monitored. And to
- 53:17Speaker 2: basically do this, you're you're what you're trying to do
- 53:21Speaker 2: is you're trying not to have the quarterback completely handcuffed
- 53:24Speaker 2: your organization and going into this, going into the summer,
- 53:29Speaker 2: that that wasn't one that was going to lose. You know,
- 53:31Speaker 2: you weren't going to have negotiations. It wasn't a situation
- 53:34Speaker 2: where you're not showing up for training camp. It was
- 53:36Speaker 2: a deal to where the guy wants more money. And
- 53:39Speaker 2: you probably have people, you know, ours is the Jim
- 53:43Speaker 2: Nagy crew who were looking out and saying, I mean,
- 53:48Speaker 2: if the guy was coming back and asking us for
- 53:50Speaker 2: you know, half a million more, like that might be
- 53:52Speaker 2: a conversation. But to you know, almost double this up,
- 53:55Speaker 2: it's it's not it's it's not good. So where it's
- 53:59Speaker 2: bad for Tennessee, I think that this needed to happen.
- 54:04Speaker 2: I hate that it was Tennessee that had to go
- 54:05Speaker 2: through it, and I hate that.
- 54:06Speaker 1: It was Nico.
- 54:08Speaker 2: But silver lining here, folks. Now we have seven new
- 54:13Speaker 2: starting quarterbacks that we were going to be facing this year.
- 54:15Speaker 2: So that is we are facing more new starters than
- 54:18Speaker 2: we are incumbent starters. And and it sounds like they
- 54:23Speaker 2: don't even know who the hell the starter is down
- 54:25Speaker 2: in Auburn yet. So so you're going to have a
- 54:29Speaker 2: good amount of stuff. And I would rather go play
- 54:31Speaker 2: some random other dude in Tennessee than than Nico. That's
- 54:36Speaker 2: just that's just where I like.
- 54:39Speaker 1: Well, that's a plus. We we're going to see. That's
- 54:44Speaker 1: the implications for Oklahoma. We now at them. So let's
- 54:47Speaker 1: go down the list. Illinois State, Michigan has a new
- 54:52Speaker 1: quarterback and I'm thinking it sounds like Underwood's gonna win
- 54:55Speaker 1: that job. Temple's going to have a new qb.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Oh and I don't an, I don't count. I do
- 55:04Speaker 2: not count any outside of Michigan. I did not count
- 55:07Speaker 2: Illinois Site or any of the non cons. So I'm
- 55:10Speaker 2: talking about legitimate teams.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Yeah, all SEC squad. So let's go SEC, well SEC
- 55:15Speaker 1: and in big team because I think Michigan should count.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Like you said, Michigan, Auburn Texas, which Texas for them,
- 55:22Speaker 1: they do their incumbent there. Their starting quarterback has been
- 55:26Speaker 1: on the team for two years, so we'll keep that
- 55:28Speaker 1: in mind, so that gives them a little leeway there.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Then you got oh, miss Simmons was there for a year,
- 55:35Speaker 1: So Simmons technically is kind of similar to Arch. They
- 55:38Speaker 1: both played about a game, but they're there. After that,
- 55:45Speaker 1: you've got c USC's or South Carolina has their Missouri
- 55:51Speaker 1: Alabama and Tennessee in Tennessee.
- 55:55Speaker 2: And then so the only returning guys that we're going
- 55:58Speaker 2: to see are our sellers at South Carolina yep. And
- 56:03Speaker 2: then you've got my nus myrat l s U.
- 56:07Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good. So technically seven new starters and
- 56:13Speaker 1: five new guys that we have never seen before. The
- 56:17Speaker 1: five new guys who there rosters most likely, so I'll
- 56:22Speaker 1: take it.
- 56:23Speaker 2: So that's pretty good. You know, we keep on talking
- 56:28Speaker 2: about the the hilatious schedule and by name, and you know,
- 56:34Speaker 2: it is what it is. Texas is replacing a hell
- 56:38Speaker 2: of a lot of stuff, you know, so so are
- 56:43Speaker 2: other teams Old miss Is We're replacing a hell of
- 56:45Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. So it's good. Now, where does
- 56:49Speaker 2: this go from here? Is I don't think that the
- 56:54Speaker 2: revenue sharing is going to take all this, all these
- 56:56Speaker 2: shenanigans away, ja. I think that the revenue sharing is
- 56:59Speaker 2: going to to minimize the shenanigans. But there's always gonna
- 57:03Speaker 2: be somebody out there.
- 57:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we're talking about humans here. Yeah, there's
- 57:08Speaker 1: gonna be some bs that's gonna happen. So I agree.
- 57:11Speaker 1: The other thing too, and even and Benji mentioned in
- 57:13Speaker 1: that NIL is gonna be a live but it's not
- 57:17Speaker 1: gonna be the same. They're gonna clean that down. That's
- 57:19Speaker 1: kind of like one of the big components on their Heck,
- 57:21Speaker 1: we may not see collectives, which I would hate, but
- 57:24Speaker 1: at the same time eliminate ninety percent of your problems.
- 57:27Speaker 1: There will be a clearing house for all NIL deals though,
- 57:30Speaker 1: so it will have to be tied to some sort
- 57:31Speaker 1: of a marketing promotional ty set up. You know, the
- 57:34Speaker 1: way that NIO was supposed to be name image and likeness,
- 57:36Speaker 1: using your name image likeness for promotional stuff that all
- 57:40Speaker 1: will deserve. Yeah, you and and it'll be a market
- 57:44Speaker 1: value there too to what that looks like like. We
- 57:46Speaker 1: don't know what Patrick Mahoon makes from State Farm, but
- 57:48Speaker 1: we know that he probably gets a fact check from
- 57:51Speaker 1: State Farm because you know, he's one of the faces
- 57:54Speaker 1: I digress. There's gonna be there's gonna be more regulation
- 57:58Speaker 1: to that the cap when it comes to the revenue share,
- 58:00Speaker 1: and then there'll be some regulation to NIL. Got to help.
- 58:04Speaker 1: John Russell asked a pretty good question question for Jane Coop.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Whatever school Nico goes to, what QB leaves. This is
- 58:11Speaker 1: why he said North Carolina. Their starting quarterback is Max Johnson.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Y'all should know who Max Johnson, former A and M
- 58:18Speaker 1: and LSU quarterback. That is correct, That is who they
- 58:21Speaker 1: have they starting quarterback. Their backup quarterback is Ryan Brown,
- 58:24Speaker 1: who was a quarterback at Purdue. So this is the
- 58:28Speaker 1: splash that they need. Remember they went after Matier and
- 58:32Speaker 1: they supposedly threw him a bag.
- 58:34Speaker 2: This is the last thing.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a perfect spot for Nico to go
- 58:38Speaker 1: to is to go to North Carolina and again and
- 58:42Speaker 1: this Chuck mentioned this too real quick. Chuck mentioned this
- 58:45Speaker 1: in the comments. Belichick's use of this he's negotiating with
- 58:49Speaker 1: He was a GM at the Patriots. To remember, he
- 58:51Speaker 1: was the president. He was a GM. He was the president,
- 58:54Speaker 1: a player of he was a player of the president
- 58:57Speaker 1: of operation. He had a player person, you know, that's
- 59:00Speaker 1: the word. That's what I was looking for, PPP. And
- 59:03Speaker 1: he had a GM in between him who handled a
- 59:05Speaker 1: lot of this stuff. But Bill signed off old signatures
- 59:08Speaker 1: on contracts on who you want to get, so he's
- 59:11Speaker 1: used to negotiating with quarterbacks. This is what he did
- 59:14Speaker 1: for Heck, he was able to negotiate with Tom Brady
- 59:17Speaker 1: to get him to take less money every year to
- 59:18Speaker 1: make sure you built a good roster him. Taking Nico
- 59:22Speaker 1: makes the most sense. Oregon doesn't because Dante More they
- 59:26Speaker 1: already got him to come over from somewhere else and
- 59:29Speaker 1: this will be the first year they'll play a young quarterback.
- 59:32Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. Ucla does make sense. The question
- 59:35Speaker 1: is who they have the money to do it, because
- 59:36Speaker 1: I've always heard of UCLA's.
- 59:38Speaker 2: Broke Jake before you press on through there, and I
- 59:45Speaker 2: saw somebody put in the chat here. Apparently it was
- 59:49Speaker 2: Dan Lanning who let Josh Eipel know that his people
- 59:52Speaker 2: were out there spreading the feelers. And that's where I
- 59:55Speaker 2: think that there's a fine line in between what's good
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: for our program and what's going to cause our program,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: you know, a hillacious amount of stress and anxiety in
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: the long term, and that is we could sit here
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: and do this and it could be big news that
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: Nico hops into the transfer portal and is heading to Oregon.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to be the situation
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: that happens now since that got outed, and I think
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: that I mean, again, Dan Lanning is a guy who's
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: willing to go win. But all these coaching staffs across
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: the entire country, they don't want to deal with a
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: lot of the same crap. And so yeah, so just
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: for everybody, it is already publicly out there that USC
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: will not be a part of the situation for Nico
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: now it is Lincoln Riley. And it does sound a
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: little bit like, no, I will not be the head
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: coach at LSU this next year, like it could be
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: a situation like that. But that's again, it's all right.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: So if you are USC or whatever program is out there, Jay,
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: you you go and you grab Nico who just did
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: this to his team, which is I'll put Tennessee in
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: probably going into next year, probably one of the twentiest
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: teams that has a good shot at it. So he
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: just did that to that team. Why are you going
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: to get rid of the guy that you're starting and
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: getting prepped up for this whole entire spring. What does
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: that say about you as a coaching staff and what
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: does that say about the program? And I think that's
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: where the coaches coaching staffs are going to pause. I
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: really do believe that it is going to have to
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: take a situation to where somebody gets hurt during the summer,
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: a guy like a Garrett nas Meyer, who has you know,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: a good amount of expectations going into the year. It
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: would need something like that to where I think a
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: team is going to take a shot at Nico and
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: he may have put himself in a really, really bad
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: spot because in this year, I think a lot of
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: people are willing to, you know, to go after transfers.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: But I don't know if any team is going to
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: sit there and say, yeah, let's go ahead and just
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: let's shelve the guy that's been bleeding, sweating going out
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: here and doing all these spring practices for this for
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: a guy who just bounced on his whole team.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: Yeah. And I thing to understand too is the locker
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: room at Tennessee was not very happy with the Nego situation.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: Based upon all the reports that's going out, the players
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: were not happy with them.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: It sounded like they encouraged booting him. Hey, now we've
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: got to see people that we can reach out to
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: and get this if it's really something that everybody wants
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: to hear. But I just say this is this was
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: going to happen. I'm surprised it took this long for
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: this to happen, because when it became a quarterback and
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: became a young quarterback with everything out in front of them,
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: that's when this thing went sideways. Is when it was
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: a bare Alexander all right, you're a you're a prize
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: fighter d tackle and you're just looking for the dough
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: we can kind of I mean that just that just
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: sounds like bad advice. This Neco situation just sounds like
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: a completely bad handling of everything across the board. And
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: you know what to to the family to handlers and
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: everybody who's in that camp listen, uh yes, damn control.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is you know, this is what you want.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: You want guys like this. You know that's out to
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: my houk over there at oh you the communications director.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: This is what my tear was doing. Tears running around
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: doing a bunch of signatures. He was taking care of
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: the people of the fans and like he he was
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: there for a long time doing this. He stayed, he said,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: he was stayed here all night. If you hate needed to,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: he may share. Everybody got there signature is in their pictures.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: Shout out to Materire for being that type of a leader.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: Can't beat that, right.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: And Jay, maybe I'm towing a line here by saying this,
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: So I sorry you edit this out in post production
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: for the people watching live. It's not the droids you're
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: looking for. We saw it with Kayden Green. Sometimes these
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: sometimes these situations aren't the kids. They're not the kid's choice.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Everybody is making the calls and doing all the stuff,
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: and then the kid gets lumped in. Yep, And I
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know where this is. All I
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: do know is yes, Matir continues to look like a
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: great a great move by Oklahoma. It looks like money
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: well spent. It looks like he is the guy that
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: you were wanting. You know. You continue to again, hours
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: and hours for the quarterbacks. Jay, we don't bring quarterbacks
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: on here because they've got a lot of responsibility being
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: the face of the program and doing these things. And
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: you know, we've had a lot of good, you know,
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: closeness with the with the O'Neill's up to this point,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: and that's kind of the first quarterback crew that we
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: have been super close with.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: That that is the the starting point of your entire team.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: It just is. And if you don't have a quarterback,
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: it is hard to go out and you know, have
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: lofty goals. It's not very often that you get a
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: guy who's just out. I mean, I will go ahead
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: and say it. I think the last undeserving quarterback just
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: to make himself a you know, a winner was probably
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: Trend Dolpher two thousand Ravens. That was a team that
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: won in spite of the quarterback, Peyton Manning. The year
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: that they beat was it Carolina couldn't even throw the ball.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: That was defense and defense and running game. It's you
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: need a quarterback. And so, you know, I would say
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: this is we could probably stick on the Nico stuff
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: and there's still probably lots and lots and lots of
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: truth to come out in this situation. But if you're
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: a Sooner fan tonight and you're looking at John Matier,
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: you need to have another you need to have a
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: bigger smile on your face because we did it right.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: We got that one right.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Shout out to Oklahoma for making the magic happen with
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: a guy like John Mattier and getting us a pretty
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: good leader. So yeah, they got pulling uphit the like button.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: If you need to the channel, subscribe rate review, give
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: us five. Yeah an Eco situation is unfortunate and a lot,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: like you said, cooping, a lot of situations, it's not
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: the kid, it is everyone around him. And I do
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: believe that in this circumstances was really everyone around him
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: kind of dictating what they wanted to happen. So hopefully
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: he you know, he's just gonna have to figure out
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: what's the next move. And again, I truly believe that
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: he's gonna end up out one of the coasts. I'm
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: thinking either I think in North Carolina or U C
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: l A, maybe Ohio State. I think Ohio State will
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: be interested. I'm trying to think Tech.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Texas Tech is a big one too.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Yeah. Shout out to my guy, Jake Major's aka stats
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: by Popo. He mentioned Texas Tech at the beginning, which
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: made sense because you don't have a they got money,
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: and I don't think Tech. Who's Tech's quarterback right now?
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: I know Ohio State is Julian saying right now is
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: who they've got? Who's young Tech has? Is that Brearon
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Morton from last year.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: I feel like that's another guy who's been around.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: Baron Morton, he's been around for four years and he
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: spent the entire four years he had at Tech twenty
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: seven touchdowns eight picks last year.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: But I promise you this, there's someone who is in
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: the Tech alumni fan base who might have a few
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: bucks to throw towards a quarterback. And I promise you
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: those folks down in Lubbock they don't give two you
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: know what, if it's to go after that, No, they
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: will go after that and it'll be zero. Listen all
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: the shade that came up, like you you did what
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: towards Nadrie Kennedy, Like you gave her all that money
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: and and you don't have a team to go around her. Well,
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: guess what they're they're they're they're they're selling out there.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: A lot of people are coming to their games and
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: they're they're they're battling. And so I think it's gonna
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: have to be that. You're gonna have to have somebody
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: who is at the program, like a Bill Belichick, who
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: if he says, hey, let's go do it. None of
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: that that fan base doesn't care. That fan base is
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: not going to care in the least. They will go, yeah, yeah,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: let's go do this whatever whatever we need to do.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: Because I think once it all comes down to it,
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: it'll be a speech every single game on the ACC network.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: But I promise you this is nobody will care once
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: December rolls around and they're fighting for a playoff spot.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: Yeah. In that, like you said with when it comes
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: to I mean Tech picking up Kennedy, I mean they're
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: they're wont thirty three games, they've said, they've said a record,
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: they they're winning. Oh, I mean at the what is
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: their ranking right now, like number fourteen and they're what
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: thirty three and what thirty four? Nine, fourteen one in
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: the Big Tour, they're winning.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: It's and uh Billy and just said it too. Patrick
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: Mahomes he has I think he is approaching ten million
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: in donations towards nil towards Texas Tech. Yeah, we all watch,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: We all watch Patrick Mahomes. They may watch land Man.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: I will say this every single time that we talk
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: about Texas Tech. Landman shows you the amount of money
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: that happens around those areas, and those guys throw away
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: at the sixty million dollars like it's just it's just
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: another business decision, and and.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: It's those they got to spend it so that they
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: can you know, get it.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you never know So anyway, I just
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: say this is we were waiting on this one. We
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: were waiting on this situation, and I think that the
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: Oklahoma football program is better because of it. I mean,
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: in a more fortuitous situation because of it. I don't
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: think that there is going to be much around it.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Here's what I will say, is it. It basically gives
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Garrett Nssmeyer a stranglehold over the I guess, the projected
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: best quarterback in the SEC. Uh. It moves arch, it
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: moves materir you know, up further up the up the shelves.
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: You know you still have Pavia, who all he does
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: is go out and just fight his ass off and win.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: And he's still in there too. So I mean you're
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: going to have a lot of guys is buying to
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: be the next, you know, kind of a name in
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: the SEC. As far as the quarterback spot, wherever Nico does?
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: I mean, if does he land somewhere? Does he you
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: know Jay like? And I hate bringing this name up,
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: but I mean we've seen quarterbacks take a stand for
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: something and it turned out to be a bad decision
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: for them. And I'm hoping to God that he gets
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: his chance to go out and play, because if he
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: doesn't play, what would probably happen is he sits out
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: the year and he goes to the NFL draft, and
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: we have our first situation of a guy who set
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: out and uh, you know, was everything because this would
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: be his third year, so he could go into the
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: draft after this year.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Fair point, good question here, sooner, cowboy, where's Nico's brother?
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: He's at Arkansas, Madden, IAmA Liava is the quarter is
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: at Arkansas behind taling Green, and it looks like he's
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: battling it out for an opportunity to be the number
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: two guy, So Madden could be I don't think man's
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: going nowhere, though it sounds like he's gonna He's focused
