1:29
Man, How are you doing? Man? Man with all the stuff?
1:33
Hit my timeline. Let's talk about that first. Uh, it's absolutely
1:37
it's Deadpool Wolverine Week. God, I cannot wait. Thought, oh Wolverine
1:44
Week. And so I got my uh got my first showing tickets ready and
1:49
in the evening too, so I might hit it up twice on Thursday.
1:53
I'm jealous, man, I think I may do the same thing. I've
1:55
actually been debating on doing that. Probably hit it up on the evening tip
1:57
as well as the daytip as well as even though kind of want to go
2:00
when nobody's around, and I want to go when people are around because you
2:04
know it's gonna be good. Man. I am stove. Thank y'all for
2:07
pulling up. It's good to see every single one of y'all in here.
2:10
Uh T one. We've got big stuff on the line. We got,
2:14
like I said, topics wise, we've got some fun stuff to really dive
2:17
into. The I mean the main one here. To be honest, is
2:21
we're gonna talk about the SEC's all American teams. We're gonna talk about if
2:25
you've seen me floating around, I've done a few shows and talked about my
2:29
ballot and everything. We'll talk about that. We're gonna talk about the teams
2:31
all Americans, Uh, team rankings, all Americans, and then we'll go
2:36
from there or whatnot. But kind of recapping like SEC media days, right.
2:39
I was home Wednesday and we talked about it on Wednesday's show, and
2:44
a little bit more to that. Man, it was as I thought about
2:47
it more start listened to a lot of the opinions of all the other media
2:50
members, especially in the soonerverse. I could see where a lot of I
2:55
could see where the mistakes were made on my part in preparation and things that
2:59
should have done. But overall, man, it was definitely a blast.
3:02
Next year in Atlanta, I plan on getting there and getting some interviews,
3:07
especially after we see how Oklahoma does and see what people thinks about it.
3:10
But I listened to the under unofficial forty and you can tell Eddie and Georgia
3:19
kind of like, eh, it's all right, we don't need to be
3:23
their day one. We don't need to be their day four just around Oklahoma.
3:27
Yeah, that was the that was a big thing. If you guys
3:29
haven't already, we might have. We got a new router in place at
3:34
the Casa de Ja, and it looks like it's already shaken out. But
3:38
you know, with with the SEC being the sixteen teams as of right now,
3:43
we don't think that there's going to be anything anybody kind of you know,
3:46
extending out, you know, going into the next season. So what
3:50
you're going to be looking at is four teams a day. I love the
3:53
ample, you know, attention that it offers to everybody showing out. So,
3:59
you know, tip as we cover Oklahoma this year, a lot of
4:02
the you know, I guess questions revolved around is Oklahoma SDC ready? That's
4:08
what you know. A lot of the Oklahoma people had to answer over and
4:11
over and over again it was his Oklahoma SEC ready. But you know,
4:15
it is good to hear stuff. You know. We talked about a little
4:17
bit on Wednesday, Jay about you know, Jeff Levy, how does that
4:20
look like? Day one? You had Shane Beemer, you know, talking
4:26
about Oklahoma and the relationship. Josh Hipel had himself looking good in his suit.
4:31
So year, next year, next year, will it'll be a little
4:34
bit different because we'll have a good idea about what's going on in that route.
4:41
So, uh, you know again, guys, if if you have
4:44
you know, questions or whatever in the chat, you know SEC days stuff,
4:47
topics that you know we didn't cover, you know, hit us up
4:49
in the chat, let us know what you think. Yeah, next year,
4:54
Atlanta, I think I think I'm gonna show next year with you too,
4:57
Jay, unless I'm giving Yeah, oh that would be fun, that'd
5:00
be nice. But no, you're you're one hundred percent right. The we
5:05
got an idea of what to prepare for and how to be prepared for,
5:09
right, which is what I'm happy about and what I'm here to do next
5:13
time. So but no, it's it's it's the Levy was good. I
5:16
think my favorite thing about SEC media days when it comes to the actual like
5:21
uh interviews and stuff, is the fact that us coming into the SEC,
5:26
there were so many people that was tied you know, had ties to Oklahoma.
5:30
Right. You had the Shamee Beemer conversations, you had Josh Hypo,
5:32
Jeff Levy right in a way, Mark Stoops, you know, being him
5:38
being a stoops. It was. It was intriguing to see how many people
5:42
really are connected to Oklahoma and some capacity. So yeah, I thought that
5:47
was that was fun. Everybody, you know, Uh what did that?
5:54
That was not the thing that I made. What is this? No,
5:58
no Ollipop? And this is slightly more exciting than Ollipop, with all due
6:03
respect to the ollipop. And I'm not gonna lie. Ollipop's got the Barbie
6:09
one out and we got to some of those from my daughter, and so
6:13
I pour it into a beer glass and drink it so that my masculinity doesn't
6:16
take a huge shot. But I will say that that one's pretty dope.
6:20
But no bearded theologian, and I think it is Cabin Boys Brewery because I'm
6:27
not driving so I can have it. That's a plus. You are sitting
6:30
in the house and enjoying yourself. I don't recall making that. I don't
6:33
know where this came from, but anyway, all right, So first off,
6:39
SEC dropped the preseason top the preseason rankings from the ballots. Right,
6:47
let me pull it up so I have it in front of me, and
6:51
I know I saw this on the interwebs. I had it in front of
6:56
me a minute ago, but it completely disappears. So that's my apologies.
6:59
I thought I was prepared, and I found out I was not as prepared
7:02
as I thought it was. Yeah, sadderfield fall practices start on the thirty
7:09
first. So what do we have today? Is that? So ten days,
7:13
ten days from today is the sooners will hit the field for real,
7:17
real life practice. And so what does that make it? Two months?
7:23
Right? Or no? It makes it a month until you know, a
7:27
month and ten days until game time, So love it. I'm already booking
7:32
appointments in late August, and so every time I start looking in and I
7:36
try to zone out and not book anything on like Thursday or Friday of game
7:41
day. That's the hard part, is not booking anything. Yeah, not
7:47
books everything. Doctor's appointments, oh yeah, get all those out the way,
7:51
right, you know, be a responsible adult and human and take care
7:56
of your body. Sorry, guys, I am all over the place because
7:59
for some reason, one of the things I created download with the wrong things,
8:03
like where did this come from? I did totally did not make this.
8:07
All right, We're gonna give you the first one. All right,
8:11
Let's look at the uh, look look at the preseason media poll. Shout
8:13
out to ON three for making this make it a lot easier on all of
8:16
us. But you've got here, as you can see in front of us,
8:18
you've got Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, Missouri,
8:24
Tennessee, Oklahoma your top eight, and then your bottom eight is gonna
8:28
be A and M, Auburn, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas,
8:33
Mississippi State, and then the disrespect of them all goes to Vanderbilt.
8:37
Now, teams that actually got a vote to win the SEC. Here's your
8:43
SEC champions right here, you go, Coop you ready. You've got,
8:46
of course, Georgia with the most at one hundred and sixty five points.
8:50
Texas got twenty seven points, Alabama got twelve, Ole Miss got four,
8:54
Vanderbilt two, LSU two, and South Carolina one, which is the most
8:58
hilarious thing. But a lot of people don't get this. This is all.
9:01
This is a whole bit that they do there at media days that they
9:05
provide Vanderbilt with votes to win the SEC. I think it's is Vanderbilt media
9:11
probably, but it's a fun thing, right, so cool When you see
9:16
this initially, what'd you think about it. I'm not gonna get too bent.
9:22
I mean, the preseason is pre seasons, right. You know when
9:24
Oklahoma here recently has had a lot of cloud going into the season, you
9:28
know, it puts a puts a lot of pressure on the team. And
9:31
and uh, you know, I don't think that we had a complimentary football
9:35
team in order to do this, But I mean I think that top to
9:37
bottom this conference, I don't know if you can really look at a team
9:41
outside of Vanderbilt that doesn't have a you know, several Yeah, but if
9:46
you know on their stuff, you know, Georgia brock Bowers is gone,
9:50
they lost a lot of skill position. Uh, you know, they're integrating
9:54
some new folks. Uh. You know, now, how does that hunger?
9:56
How does the uh you know, the the the nil being taken away
10:01
for speeding, and you know, how does that look? Texas lost top
10:05
five receivers, Alabama completely new coaching staff. You know, Ole miss you
10:11
know, what's that defense gonna look or what's that defense gonna look like under
10:15
the mercenary rules LSU? What's their defense gonna look like? In general?
10:18
Does Missouri have the cap? There's there's questions for almost every single one of
10:20
these teams, and if it shakes out this way, I would I would
10:26
bet the bet against that because I just don't see it happening this way.
10:30
This is uh what you know in one of our old old favorite lines,
10:33
this is why you this is why you line it up, this is why
10:37
you take the field, this is why you play the game. And so
10:39
I'm excited about this. I think Oklahoma's in a good spot right there.
10:43
You're you're middle of the pack. It is one hundred percent true. Oklahoma
10:46
could go south Oklahoma, could you know, really surprise a lot of people.
10:52
I think the same thing's true with LSU, Missouri, Tennessee, A
10:54
and M. You know, then you get down to the tears of Auburn
10:58
and Kentucky and Florida and everything, and you know, those teams that have
11:01
a lot more questions to answer. So I think it's more of who do
11:05
you just have the least amount of questions outside of that number two team,
11:09
which I still don't. Uh, you know, we'll find out. And
11:13
that's exactly what you're gonna have with most of these is you're gonna just find
11:16
out. Honestly, I kind of feel like there was a lot more disrespect
11:20
in the Kentucky range there count their schedules a lot simpler than people think.
11:26
I do like the fact that they still did give Alabama the respect that they
11:30
deserve. It feels like killing d Boor. He's got a lot to prove.
11:33
Similarly to us, the big thing with Duboor for me is that he
11:37
doesn't have Ryan Grubb anymore, right, so, that offensive coordinator's gone.
11:41
He and he came with Duboor initially, but then he decided to go coach
11:46
the Seattle Seahawks, which massive move for him. Yes, I think that
11:50
that's probably a really big deal on his part. I'm pretty excited to see
11:54
what he does up there. But the question is, what does the Boar
11:58
look like off Civilly without that offensive coordinator that we knew was super innovative.
12:03
I kind of thought that Kentucky would have been higher. I didn't expect A
12:09
and M to be there, but the rest of them kind of felt like
12:11
what I was gonna expect. Right, We're not gonna get the respect like
12:13
that yet. It's something we've got to its respect is earned, not given.
12:18
When it comes to rankings. You should always get people respect regardless until
12:22
they give you a reason to not be respectful to them. And in this
12:26
situation, we ain't done anything yet and so we gotta we got to show
12:28
them. So I'm fine with it. When I did mine, uh mine
12:35
is this is my top five and we'll just leave it at the top five
12:37
here. My top five is here, right. I had Georgia, I
12:43
had see Georgia. We've got Alabama, then I have Oklahoma, Texas,
12:50
and then Ole Miss and my top five it is really around one. I
12:58
kind of put Texas there because I'm just gonna make a SEC people mad.
13:01
But at the same time, Texas does have a favorable schedule, right,
13:05
someone actually put up the numbers on it. Texas plays like what three teams
13:11
in this Let me see, let me look at the top looking at it
13:13
again. They play what Georgia, Oklahoma and what that's it and then they
13:20
played the rest of them as the bottom of the SEC. And I don't
13:26
think that they leave and play a true SEC road game until after they play
13:31
Oklahoma, right, because that's the technically the red river of rivalry. We're
13:35
the home team this year. Yeah, I think yeah, so I think
13:39
that they only have three true road SEC games this year. Yeah, they
13:45
get the four they get the four home games in the three roads, where
13:48
we get the four road games in the three homes because of the neutral site
13:52
similar to Georgia. Yours has the same thing because of the world's largest outdoor
13:56
cotail party they do with Florida and they playing Jackson and build that they don't
14:01
have that. So yeah, for Texas, their first true road trip is
14:05
to Vanderbilt, which their stadium's not even done, and that's post bye week,
14:09
very favorable. Then you have Arkansas, which is in between the Florida
14:18
game, and then they have A and M which is in between, which
14:22
with Kentucky right in the middle, so it's like at every other no back
14:26
to back road games, which is quite like I said, quite favorable.
14:31
And then of course the bigger one for them is the Michigan game on the
14:33
road, which helps make their overall schedule tougher because Michigan is still a good
14:39
team. But as you mentioned, this is preseason, so I mean,
14:43
I'm not mad, But for me, I think that we beat Texas again
14:50
this year, right, I think that just defensively, we're gonna be really
14:52
good. No shade to Texas. I just think the defensively are gonna be
14:56
really really good, and we played really good last time. It's funny we
15:00
went back. Everybody's gone back and calculated the last time we played, right,
15:03
and if we did read it that game, I'm gonna be honest,
15:07
I think that the score of that game would not have been thirty four to
15:15
thirty. I think that if Tylie Walker catches that touchdown, the final score
15:20
is thirty one to twenty nine. And I say that because Texas scores,
15:24
they're gonna try to go for two. We stopped the two point conversion to
15:26
tie the game and then we just kneel it at one minute in fifteen seconds.
15:31
Now, granted, if they do score and tie the game and we
15:33
go and do the drive, then that drive kicks in and we win thirty
15:37
eight to thirty one. Right, So that's just the additional four points there
15:43
should have been. Tywie didn't drop that ball kind of still bothers me to
15:46
this day. Yeah, I mean, ifs and buts, candies and nuts,
15:50
right exactly. The I think that when you know, everybody's alluding to
15:54
Billy Bowman's comments that you know he thinks that we left a lot out in
15:58
the field. Truly, I think that Texas does and you know, to
16:02
so to play the contrarian you know in the middle is yeah, you know,
16:07
don't everybody get get too fussy, because you know, we all know
16:11
that if this goes different, that can look different. But when it's all
16:15
said and done, I think that this Oklahoma team feels like they could have
16:18
put more points up. They left a lot of opportunities up there and this
16:22
was that was there, that was their big game after that six and seven
16:26
year. That was the all right, let's show what what we are going
16:30
to do and let's show who we are. And so they're gonna want to
16:33
do it again too, because I think that there is a lot of there's
16:37
a lot of pride. It's not just what the end result is, you
16:40
know, this year, but it is Oklahoma wants to continue to to you
16:45
know, keep up that recent dominance of Texas and they have they have,
16:49
I mean, that is a It is one of the largest rivalries in the
16:53
country. And we always have that game circled. And if you are Sooner
17:00
Texas fan and you want to play that one down, you're fooling yourself because
17:03
both those teams have this game circled every year. Real Texas fans have it
17:07
circled too. They don't play that game right and shout of frightening truth,
17:11
our resident Texas fan. No, he pointed out here, the first true
17:15
real game is Michigan. Yeah, Michigan, y'all are going to play against
17:18
Michigan in the big House. Totally get. We were talking about SEC road
17:23
game, right, Sezer road game. You don't have to see nobody on
17:27
the road till Vanderbilt, in which they don't even have a stadium, which
17:30
I think a portion of the stadium is gone. Yeah, Vanderbilt Vanderbilt,
17:34
Arkansas and A and M. So you technically have two true SEC road games,
17:41
and unfortunately for Texas, it's two teams that absolutely hate Texas. I
17:45
mean, and that is that is jealousy hate from those two programs because neither
17:52
Arkansas or A and M can hold a candle to what Texas has been recently
17:56
traditionally any adjective, adverb, or pronoun and you want to add to it.
18:00
And so those are gonna be two tough games. And that's uh,
18:04
you know, if if Texas can make it through both of those games,
18:07
I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. I agree. And so Seth,
18:11
thank you so much for the uh for the super chat two bucks. We
18:18
appreciate it. Put a percentage on the chance of us going seven and oh
18:22
cool me personally, I'm gonna put if I also put a percentage on us
18:30
going ongoing that number, let me see seven to zero, which boom,
18:40
I'm gonna go sixty five percent. I think that's a fair number. Uh,
18:44
I think it's a very good chance. It's a very good chance for
18:45
us to start at that. Like I said, we get up for Texas,
18:48
it's a fifty fifty game, so we don't know, you know,
18:51
it'll show up. We don't know which is which. We figure it out.
18:53
We always do at that, especially once we get to Texas. Right,
18:57
no matter who's good who's bad, we always battle it out. That's
19:00
what we've seen, right, We've seen Texas be really bad, have really
19:03
bad years and beat us on our best years. So it's just not something
19:07
to you know, we've seen Texas have some of their best years and we
19:11
beat them. It's just it is what it is. That's the rivalry,
19:15
because it's a real one. It's not what everybody else's really is. Well,
19:18
I mean, it's just like the Iron Bowl, the Iron Bowl similar
19:21
way, they have a tendency of Auburn spoiling what Bama's doing. That's usually
19:26
when this shows up. I haven't really seen Bama. Well, Bama hasn't
19:29
been bad really in the twenty in the two since the twenty first century started,
19:33
so we can't say that. But I'll say I'm at I'm at a
19:38
sixty five what percentage of you? Yeah, I was thinking. I was
19:41
thinking sixty sixty five right in that area. I think it is a very
19:45
very good chance because it is It's Temple, Houston, Tulane, Tennessee,
19:49
Auburn, Texas, South Carolina. Then you get to the back half of
19:53
that schedule, and I think the difference between you know and frightening saying you
19:59
know, you guys give up. Yes, if you're an Oklahoma fan and
20:02
you say that, oh you does not circle the calendar for Texas, you're
20:06
fooling yourself too. That it is about for the past, you know,
20:10
since nineteen ninety eight. It is about being king of the hill in the
20:12
Big twelve. Now it is getting to the getting the sec You want to
20:19
be the stronger of the two, but that's not the goal of the season,
20:23
whereas in Oklahoma State or an Auburn or a Texas A and M,
20:27
they their goal of the season is to beat Oklahoma or Texas. Oh you
20:33
in Texas. I think that there is a mutual respect there. You know,
20:37
I've seen the conversations between Brent and Sark. These things are great.
20:41
And so I think that it's a sixty percent because I think it's a you
20:45
know, when you're doing gambling or you're doing bets and stuff like this,
20:49
like if if you're throwing out eighty five percent, I think it's an eighty
20:52
five percent chance that you know, we beat Vanderbilt, you know, if
20:56
we played Vanderbilt. But we don't, so that's not something we got to
21:00
deal right. So but yeah, sixty chance. Oh you starts out seven
21:03
of them. And with that chat, hop in the comments. Let us
21:07
know what y'all think. If you listen to audio version, come over here
21:11
to YouTube, or shoot us a tweet or something on an ig. Let
21:15
us know where do you think Oklahoma sits at? Starting seven? And oh,
21:19
we definitely want to hear from you all. And so, yeah,
21:22
and I talked about mine. My reasoning is, I really think that we're
21:26
gonna our defense is going to surprise a lot of people. Uh. I
21:29
don't think that Alabama's gonna gonna fall off this year. I think we've got
21:33
time because I think mil Rod's gonna be I think Milrod's gonna definitely turn a
21:38
lot of heads. If mil Road turns heads, then it's gonna be a
21:45
different story out there in the street. So all right, let me see,
21:48
let's talk now we've gone twenty minutes on that. Let's talk the All
21:52
American Teams Coop? We know that. Oh why did Coop disappear again?
22:00
I hate when it happens. I'm just a spirit. Yeah, he's a
22:03
genie, just magical, right, just magically, just vanished on people.
22:06
Anyway. So All American Teams also was given you know, sec drop that.
22:14
Let me pull this up for you all to see. Uh, that
22:18
is not what I put in here. So we're gonna do that. Sorry.
22:22
A lot of the stuff that I was working on for some reason,
22:23
stuff ain't populart and way's supposed to happy. What is today Sunday? This
22:29
is what my Sunday has been. Like, let's see, let's get you
22:33
guys this one. Why while you're looking at that, you know, I
22:34
do you want to address a couple of these things in here. Auburn is
22:37
a tough place to play. Every SEC road game is a tough place to
22:41
play. You've got one hundred thousand psychos going absolute crazy, and that is
22:47
Lemon. I hate you, and that that is it. There's no more
22:49
playing in front of the Bless your Heart Conference sixty thousand people or you know,
22:55
there's no there's no there's no attendance in the SEC where you've got a
23:00
one hundred thousand stadium and you're you're not doing good. So you're you know,
23:06
but Auburn just doesn't have it offensively yet. Yes, I understand who
23:10
their coaches, and they are recruiting like madmen. They are doing great,
23:14
but we need to see something from there, you know, before you're actually
23:19
going to start saying like, oh, we believe in that offensive category,
23:23
you know for Auburn. And yes, I think it's an unintelligent comment that
23:27
Joshipel wants to beat us. I don't think Joshipel wants to come and let
23:30
us have a win for our first SEC game. Every single one of these
23:33
SEC teams are going to want to not lose to Oklahoma in Texas. Every
23:37
single one of them, every single one of them wants to beat us.
23:41
That is every that is it, and that is us all day long.
23:45
But I don't think that people really grasp on how the how this team.
23:49
If you are an outsider and you're coming in and you're trying to troll,
23:53
if you're trolling based off of a Lincoln Riley team, then you haven't been
23:57
paying attention for the past three I think that a lot of people outside of
24:00
Oklahoma and people who don't pay attention to Oklahoma, they see an absolute They
24:10
don't have a good perception because if you ask a lot of random people,
24:14
they might think Oklahoma went five hundred last year. So yeah, yeah,
24:18
it's it's that and truth, you know, I'm not seeing you as an
24:22
outsider. You got a little troll in here and they're going after it.
24:26
So oh the trolls, I don't. I don't any trolls. Let's let's
24:30
keep the focus on the actual conversation. But the but the piece of the
24:33
piece of you know, going on the road, that is, every single
24:37
one of these games is going to be tough. It is Oklahoma has shown
24:40
a history of tripping up where they shouldn't have. And so it is going
24:42
to be about staying focused on the team right in front of you, every
24:45
single year, every single week. Absolutely. All right, listen, here's
24:49
the All American team. So the SEC dropped. They're All American. Uh,
24:56
the voted by the media, and this is what you have. So
25:00
your quarterback is back running back Trevor e Tm, which was kind of surprising
25:03
for me. I didn't. I didn't. That one kind of shocks me.
25:07
But the same time, I got it right. I picked Trevor e
25:10
Tem personally, I figured he was gonna be considered one. Him and jarqust
25:12
Hunt Hunter from Auburn, and you got Luther Burton, Trey Harris at wide
25:18
receiver. Tight end is Caden PRIs Priest Corn over there at Ole Miss,
25:23
Ole miss has a couple of guys there old line. You're starting with Alabama's
25:27
Tyler Booker, Will Campbell from LSU, Kelvin Banks junior from Texas, Tate
25:34
Ratledge from Georgia, and Cooper Mays is the center at Tennessee Nego. Defensive
25:41
side of the ball, you had James Pearce Junior from Tennessee, Walter Nolan
25:45
from Ole Miss, Eon Walker from Kentucky, the Seer Stackhouse at Georgia.
25:52
That's your d line. Linebackers are Harold Perkins from LSU, Denny Stutsman at
25:56
linebacker, Deontay Laws in Alabam, Ama, mikeil Williams from Georgia, and
26:02
then d DB's are Malachi Stars from Georgia, Malachi More from Bama spilled different
26:08
which is fascinating, Billy Bowman from Oklahoma, and then Maxwell Harriston from Kentucky.
26:15
Cool seeing this, What do you think it's good to have all conference
26:23
defensive players on the on the on the preseason once again. And you know
26:27
last year I think was it last year we had Ethan Downs. The year
26:32
before we had a Guebu and that was it. Uh So, I mean
26:37
this is this is a pretty uh this is pretty fun and it should start
26:41
leaning some lights towards people wondering you know what this defense is going to be.
26:45
Uh. You know, this defense is a Clemson style defense. The
26:49
right people on the bright on the bus, in the right seats. I
26:53
don't see anything that just glares out. You know, I would say that
26:59
Baxter out down in Texas, you know, is somebody that I really really
27:03
gave a lot of consideration to at running back Carson back at Georgia. I
27:08
mean, this team is on his shoulders and if he can show out,
27:12
I think that he deserves the first team. Uh, the the offensive line.
27:17
I mean, this is now we're in a league to where this is.
27:21
You're looking at this and this is going to be a lot of people
27:22
who are going to be in the first and second round of the NFL draft,
27:26
you know, in the next two years. So you know, if
27:29
you look at mock drafts, you'll see a lot of these names right now
27:32
for NFL mock drafts. So yeah, this is a this is a pretty
27:36
formidable and you know, I would toss up this lineup versus all the conference,
27:40
any other conference out there. Any good thing for Oklahoma two is so
27:44
third. So this is the first team, second team Sooner no Sooners made
27:49
the second team, but third team. We got Dion Burks on the offensive
27:56
side. Right. And it's funny because one of the Texas guys, CJ
27:59
vow Goal on Texas Football, he at wide receiver. He threw Nick Anderson
28:06
on his bid. He was one of the very few people that actually picked
28:15
Nick and he said, hey, man, the numbers are there he had
28:18
an elite season that he did, right, And I posted underneath them somebody
28:22
saying, what what did he do that was better than Isaiah Bond? And
28:23
I showed the numbers. He had ten less catches, one hundred and thirty
28:26
more yards, and six more touchdowns. Yeah, Nick was eating last season
28:34
and the anticipation as he will again it with Dion Burks, who's going to
28:37
be a threat? Does guarantee two wide receivers is going to be a problem.
28:41
We'll wait and see and we'll talk injuries in a bit around Andrew Anthony
28:45
and what he looks like, and then Jelo Farouk as well. But overall,
28:51
yeah, no, I was satisfied, especially defensively. And like you
28:55
said, there's a lot of players on here that are gonna be in the
28:57
NFL draft at the top, right, Like James Pears is your number one
29:02
dude. He is the dude that everybody in the league's like, Yeah,
29:07
he's gonna be a monster. He is. He's very good. Play with
29:10
them on against him on Cosshabaut twenty five and that dude was all over the
29:14
place, Like where does do run away from that one? Yeah? I
29:17
just run the optic direction. I figure out where you are in the field,
29:19
and I flip the play and I go away from him. Right every
29:22
single time, he's good, Like he's a very good player, and it's
29:25
just surprising, you know, Tennessee was able to snatch him up. But
29:29
the one thing that Tennessee doesn't have is the secondary. That's the that's been
29:33
the weak spot that everybody's pointed out. They've got a lot of young people
29:36
there, so they've got a lot of stuff to prove. That's the more
29:38
thing that's going to be very helpful for us, especially going into that game.
29:45
So I thought I was fair. I like that Billy's in there as
29:48
well as Danny that if neither one of them were voted, I would have
29:52
taken issue. I don't take issue with the way this list sits. Next
29:56
season, I anticipated if Nick Anderson up the numbers we anticipate if he doesn't
30:02
go to the draft, he'll be a first teamer that everybody is going to
30:06
be eyeballing, But he is. Actually he's actually draft eligible after this season.
30:12
Unfortunately. That's the other fun part about it. This is the year
30:17
he actually get out to the draft. So depending on how good this year
30:19
he is, we'll have questions, but just looking at it just for easy,
30:26
just because I want to check my check my statement here is you go
30:29
to bleacher Reports mock draft, and six of the first seven are SEC guys
30:33
on this list. So you're right, you know, and you throw it
30:37
in Shore Sanders. But again preseason. So let's uh, you know,
30:41
I think, like I said, with so many things, when you look
30:45
at the preseason team ratings, there's so many questions for so many different teams.
30:48
But these guys are players. These guys are here for a reason.
30:52
And you know, you saw Danny Stutsman. I mean a lot of Oklahoma
30:56
fans think that he should have won the Buckets Award last year and so so
31:00
now more people get a chance to see him. But it is ever single
31:03
one of these guys. None of this is about pure projection. This is
31:06
these guys have done work, they've put in, the work, they've made,
31:08
they have the production and so this is where those things are. So
31:12
this these are a little bit more. You know, if you don't show
31:15
up, if you're on this team and you don't show up in the postseason,
31:18
it typically is because somebody just bawled out a little bit. More so,
31:22
uh, there's a lot of fun names on here, and if you've
31:25
been a recruiting person for a long time, you know, it's it's funny
31:27
because these are guys that uh, you know, just we're you know,
31:30
in the high school not too long ago, and we're you know, visiting
31:33
in the twenty twenty season, you know, to campuses or twenty twenty one,
31:37
and so now it's the it's the new crop. But this is a
31:41
this is a lot more fun watching this one than a Big twelve you know,
31:45
preseason poll. Yeah, yeah, that's true because Big twelve, we
31:48
know, we probably wouldn't have made anybody on the list as just that disrespectful
31:53
they seem to be with everything that we're doing. So yeah, I am
32:00
pretty I'm satisfied. I'm very satisfied with it. I do think that Nick
32:05
deserved more votes. I do believe that. I did think it was interesting
32:10
to know, with the media portion of it, of the team rankings,
32:14
that Oklahoma was put down an eighth. But it's okay, that's kind of
32:17
what you would have expected coming into a new conference, people would have people
32:27
gotta warm up to what Oklahoma's gonna do, and it's gonna it's it's the
32:30
proven on the field. It's unluckily we've got a month. We're just under
32:35
just over a month away. We'll be talking about four weeks on Friday that
32:40
we're we're gonna get to see some actual college football. So, hey,
32:45
thank you'all for pulling up. Make sure you hit that like button. If
32:52
you're new to this channel, go ahead and subscribe. If you're listening to
32:54
the audio version rate review, give us five stars. You don't think we
32:59
deserve it, just give us five anyway and gifted. So let's jump right
33:02
into one of the exciting things that have populated over the weekend is Oklahoma landed
33:10
a nice defensive tackle. That cool when I thought about it more and more
33:22
looking at video, making my video, and you know, really thinking about
33:25
our boy, Floyd Buchard, Oklahoma may have gotten one of the big steals
33:34
of this class. How'd you feel about this one? You know, obviously
33:39
I love I love Floyd, and you know we're working on an interview with
33:44
Floyd here for tomorrow night, so everybody just kind of watch out if that
33:47
things line up. You know, we're gonna have his first interview post you
33:52
know, no, I guess not first interview total, but like post you
33:55
know with us, you know, after his commitment and you know during the
34:00
commitment, Jay and I know that, Yeah, I saw you in the
34:04
chat on two four seven. Also shout out them guys. You know when
34:07
tom Lloyd was out there, you kind of felt good because tom Lloyd put
34:10
his prediction in and then he was one host in the show. But when
34:14
he was talking about each one of those teams, you know, you saw
34:16
his face absolutely light up when he started talking about Oklahoma and he loved that
34:22
right there. And so he was down to you know, Alabama and Miami
34:28
Oklahoma, and then he had USC still in there too because they played a
34:30
big part in that. And so I think that he is a guy who
34:35
I think m question over at Sooner Scoop compared him to Charles Walker. Charles
34:39
Walker's ups were absolutely phenomenal. He just couldn't have the consistency, but he
34:45
also didn't have the same coaching staff working with him. And so this is
34:51
somebody that Oklahoma went after. This guy is an absolute He's an absolute stud.
34:57
I mean, you watched the offers. You know, a Obama was
35:00
in on him. They really really wanted him. And in Miami. This
35:05
is another time that venables lockers lockers from up in Miami. And so if
35:08
you're a Miami fan, you know, you know, I'm sorry about that.
35:13
But he is criminally underrated. I still think not a big camper.
35:17
Was this guy out of Canada. Uh, moved down played in Mobile,
35:21
Alabama, and now is down in the Miami area. So now he gets
35:25
to go into his year and gets to work on his craft. He's going
35:30
to have open communication with Todd Bates throughout the year and just working on that
35:35
tape and refining that. But he just fits right in with what we've seen
35:38
from every single one of these kids over the past couple of years. Absolute
35:44
studs, great leaders, people who want to become better men, taking taking
35:50
care of their family, you know, the right way. And so uh,
35:52
this is one that you know Floyd's going to He's going to have the
35:57
opportunity to rise quite a bit this year. I think that having those finals
36:01
and final schools in his in his final four, having the Alabama clout there,
36:07
you know, committing in to Oklahoma, a lot of people are going
36:09
to go watch him, and so he's got a chance to rise up.
36:12
But this is another great get and I agree with you wholeheartedly, Jay,
36:15
I think this is an absolute steal. Yeah, watching this film, man,
36:22
I think my favorite thing about watching him is that coming in at a
36:27
roughly sixty three three fifteen. I mean, how many big boys are we
36:32
used to coming in like that? Right? Yeah, Like that's that's a
36:36
great size to come in and start and keeping the Florida pipeline going limit.
36:44
That is exactly it, right, That's one that I'm stoked about. We're
36:47
getting to keep this Florida pipeline going. Man, Miami Central is a it's
36:55
basically it's not even not pipeline. Man, that's like a feeder school.
36:59
So you see in Miami, and that's this is right there. And being
37:02
able to pull him out like that, even though he's not a native person
37:06
of Miami, it's still a big deal to be able to go there and
37:08
get a player like that. I mean, adding him with the Tampa Tampa
37:12
Catholic guys epl and Lewis Carter, the Crimson Missile, that's what you want
37:17
to do to like say, built that pipeline for area. Now, that's
37:22
what got me excited about him, Like, Okay, we're trying to work
37:25
our way through SEC country. Now, the big thing for us is we
37:29
need to go snatch up a Georgia player. If we can get ourselves a
37:30
player out of the state of Georgia four star, maybe a five, then
37:35
we've really created a presence in the SEC. Because that's the hardest thing to
37:39
do, right is you ain't stealing those kids. Those are the ones that
37:43
are like the hardest ones to get your hands on, because yeah, it's
37:47
it's just what it is, right, it's ain't nobody. Uh, Georgia
37:53
and Alabama do a really good job of trying to keep people out of that
37:57
spot, like now, yeah, yeah, we don't share, is not
38:00
caring. We'll get that. We'll get there. We'll get there. So
38:06
as far as the class goes, you got at you know, Floyd in
38:10
here and then you see that Pecheck, one of the defensive ends we were
38:15
going after, decided that Nebraska is the place to be for him. He
38:21
just committed today, and that of course threw your boy off, Like,
38:24
dang, that sucks. I was hoping that we'll be able to pull him
38:28
from North Dakota. But what do you think about that that move to Nebraska,
38:31
Because to me, it kind of makes sense. Is close to the
38:34
crib, and it was taken forever for the commitment to go down. It's
38:37
like, yeah, he's probably somebody else is probably in his ear. He's
38:40
probably considering some other options. What do you think about that move? You
38:45
know, I'm not gonna lie. Like Max Granville and pet Shack, those
38:50
are two spots that I think those are players that you get great coaching and
38:54
those guys can turn into absolute contributors. And so I mean Patchack leaving and
39:00
heading out to Nebraska. You know, if the coaching staff really wants to
39:04
keep going after them, then you know, maybe it's not over yet.
39:08
Uh. You know, we're still six months out from you know, the
39:12
end of recruiting, Uh, just under six months. But this that that's
39:17
a young room and uh, you know, when you're selling playing time with
39:22
some of the guys that you already have on campus, that that's tough,
39:25
is really really tough. And I think Oklahoma had from what it sounds like,
39:30
Oklahoma had a decision to make on in il to dive in a little
39:35
bit deeper with Pat Jack, give him a little bit more of an offer.
39:37
Uh, And Nebraska did that. So I think that just just brass
39:44
tacks about it. Jay is, uh, there's still people with being Christian
39:47
Jones and Michael Psussi and Andrew Babolola that that's are going to command some nil
39:53
dollars. And I think it's a I think it's a very very big opportunity
39:58
to uh to go after them and hopefully that you know, you can go
40:01
out and prove a little proof of concept here in the in the SEC this
40:06
year. And so it's it's not something that I wanted to happen, but
40:12
you know, the longer it took, its uh you know, we were
40:15
we were absolutely too we were absolutely too uh you know, too confident,
40:21
you know, right when he left campus. And the longer that took then
40:23
it opened more doors and more doors. And I think, like you said,
40:27
just you know, somebody got in his ear. And you know,
40:30
Matt Rules still has a lot of hope that he can sell up in Nebraska,
40:32
and their schedule is going to make it easy on them because they've got
40:36
a they've got a pretty easy schedule this year. Yeah, it's it's favorable
40:43
for Nebraska and no Rules always done a really good job of recruiting, right
40:46
we saw what he did at Baylor, we saw what he did heck at
40:51
Temple, right, that's kind of how you ended up with the Baylor job.
40:52
He has to do good at Temple, and we see Temple end of
40:55
the month and we're like a forty point favorite in that game, which is
40:59
yeah, disturbing at the least, but yeah, no, rule has been
41:05
rule has been making the magic happen. And I can't even be mad at
41:07
him. I can't be mad at what he's been able to do, which,
41:12
like I say, has been very much impressive to say the least.
41:15
So yeah, I would have liked to snatch him up, but eh,
41:21
world won't come to an end. We'll be all right. And Jay,
41:23
you know, one of the things that made Nebraska take the massive step back
41:29
when they went to the Big Ten, they lost the pipeline to Texas.
41:31
They quit playing those teams, they quit doing that. So in order for
41:36
Nebraska to get back to relevance, they absolutely have to have those surrounding states,
41:43
the North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, you know, stealing folks
41:46
out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa. That's where you have to live,
41:51
and you've got to make a living. Northern Colorado even and so you know,
41:54
that's something that they could push. That is, you know, we're
41:58
gonna lock down this area of the country. And if they don't do it,
42:01
some other teams that are coming into the Big Ten they may because you
42:05
know, Oregon's gonna throw some cash. You know, usc they're not winning
42:08
California, so they got to stretch somewhere, and so you got to be
42:13
able to uh, you gotta be able to do that if you're in Nebraska.
42:15
So again, great get for Nebraska. You know, if if his
42:19
services are still up in the air, you know, hopefully that coaching staff
42:23
you know, stays in contact with them. You know, based off the
42:25
twenty five power line graphic kind of sounds like we're we're pretty much around unless
42:30
something just comes, you know and falls in your lap. Yeah, And
42:35
I don't see anything falling in our lap. It feels like it's just like,
42:37
yeah, I think we're done. I think they're gonna go ahead and
42:40
say, yeah, I think we're We're satisfied with what we have and there's
42:45
absolutely no reason for us to even concern ourselves with Yeah, another player doesn't
42:52
make any sense to me, So I don't know, trying to think.
43:02
I think that's really it. As far as the recruitings go, we don't
43:05
have much. There's not much going on with for Susie. We know he's
43:07
end of the month. We know Babi Lolo's beginning of August. It's now
43:12
it's all waiting again. Christian Jones doesn't have a date. So I guess
43:15
that that's another one that you could say could be quote unquote concerning, because
43:19
it's whenever he decides to get her done right. And you've got sooner than
43:24
in the Stars party of the Palace. You know, there's a lot of
43:29
I can't keep track with all the names of them, you know anymore,
43:31
but you've got you know, one of the days is for the younger kids,
43:36
and so in talking to Sean Hutton and they're getting all their playings you
43:38
know together for that. And then also, uh, you're gonna have some
43:44
of the commitments you know, in the house. And so if Christian Jones
43:46
does show up to that that that looks super favable, uh to you know,
43:51
hopefully get in front of him right before things start shutting down. Uh
43:54
FISUSI has gone absolute radio silence across the board. He is not telling friends
44:00
what's going on you know, from uh, from just having the conversations that
44:05
I have. He wants to see their reaction. He wants to be to
44:07
a surprise for them. Babelola has had a lot of quiet around a lot,
44:12
and I don't think that thing's fully done. If Babelola comes early,
44:16
you know, that's going to be interesting because we might get his decision,
44:20
you know, a week or so before the FASUSI decision. And I just
44:24
I just continue to say, I see it very very difficult for Oklahoma to
44:28
land Babylola and FSUSI. You want to split the difference and take one of
44:32
those guys, you would you would take both of them. So but I
44:37
don't know if that opportunity prevents presents in itself, because I think Michigan right
44:42
now is the team that you're kind of watching out for Babs and but there's
44:45
still a lot of game to be played with both of them. And when
44:49
you miss out on recruits and Io becomes available, and I know, Jay,
44:52
that's you know, you and I offline earlier today had conversations around that
44:55
one. And so we'll see if as a recruit, if somebody drops something
45:01
ungodly in your lap, you know, it. That's kind of hard to
45:07
not just go ahead and you know take that. So this this, this,
45:10
this class is before we kick off. I think the OUs class is
45:15
probably much going to be wrapped up. Yeah, I think that we're done
45:20
until with the three, like I said, the three names that we have
45:25
that's pending. I think that's it. I think that, And it makes
45:30
sense because I know Venables mentioned that class wise, we weren't looking at the
45:34
going big it was more so a twenty three to twenty four. Twenty three
45:46
was more I think, so what he was more so talking about. And
45:50
so to me, this is the other thing too. For me, my
45:54
concern around recruiting isn't as concerning, I guess you could say, because the
46:00
you know, the transfer portal does exist. So there's a very good chance
46:05
that if you really need to feel something, it's gonna be a young player
46:07
somewhere and it's gonna be like, I'm not getting enough playing time and I
46:09
like to go somewhere where I could compete for a chance to play, and
46:13
they're gonna show up or they feel like, you know, I'm not developing
46:15
here, or they recruited over me and someone's and it's better than I'm not
46:20
gonna be able to play and they're gonna go ahead and try to come in.
46:22
So to me, I sense that there's a there's a good chance that
46:37
we spend more time portal wise in December to supplement anything we did not pick
46:45
up this time around and get you get a little bit of you know,
46:54
we've all played NCAA, you know, at this point, I think for
46:59
the most part, and and you know, in certain games you can put
47:02
you can put the little simulation to skip a little bit further ahead so that
47:07
you can just you know, get to the end if you're if you're one
47:09
of those people. And I think that with a guy like Pat Shack,
47:14
like he's a guy who projects to be a little bit of a stud,
47:16
but you never know, right, you never know with any of these guys.
47:20
You know, you look at Michael Fassussi and you see him as somebody
47:22
who could potentially just step right in and be contributor, you know, first
47:29
or second team. You know, right off the bat, the transfer portal
47:32
gives you a little bit of that. You know, let's fast forward and
47:35
see because you'll you'll get a chance to see, you know, then with
47:37
a couple of extra years then with a you know, with some competition reps,
47:43
and you know, I think that coaching staffs have to keep that,
47:49
you know, the the truth and transparency with a lot of these players in
47:52
most cases outside of certain states Colorado. But you know, if you know,
48:00
if you have a kid at Oklahoma who is you know, an offensive
48:04
lineman and he he's just stuck behind two different two different guys that are just
48:08
absolute studs. Brent Vinnables and Bill Bembo are going to take that call,
48:14
and you know, if they're interested in going here or there or there,
48:16
they're going to say, hey, listen, in practice, you know,
48:20
he would be playing if it wasn't for guys out in front of him.
48:22
And those conversations do happen. And so that's where you're going to say,
48:25
like, maybe we take a you know, a red shirt freshman or a
48:29
sophomore you know, from another team and a little bit more of a sure
48:34
thing than you know, taking a seventeen year old at this point. So
48:37
the transfer portal is, uh, you know, it is what we have
48:40
that it's the rules that we have to do right now. And I'm just
48:44
hoping that, you know, I'm just hoping that you know this this the
48:49
span base is ready for some of the names that will eventually be leaving to
48:52
the transfer portal, because you know, these last three or four recruiting classes
48:57
have been so exciting, and you want to see guys like Lewis Carter play.
49:00
You want to see guys like Michael Boganowski play. You want to see
49:04
guys you know, like Devon Jordan play. But let's be honest, like
49:08
I ever seen one of these twenty five to twenty six guys that we recruit
49:12
this year are actually gonna end up on the field as a sooner and you're
49:15
gonna have to watch them leave and it's just part of the game nowadays.
49:19
Yeah, I sense that we're gonna probably see I mentioned this before. I
49:22
see a little bit of an exod it's happening coming in December, and it's
49:28
gonna be more so players it's gonna realize at the higher point of their career
49:30
that yeah, I'm not probably gonna crack a depth chart. It's probably time
49:34
for me to go somewhere else. But hopefully they stick around and want to
49:37
be part of the depth whatnot. Right, That's the good thing is we've
49:38
got a lot more depth than people want to acknowledge. Would you say that
49:43
because we're very young? No, you shut up. Hey, it's Competitive
49:46
Depth. By the way, I got a Competitive Depth shirt that's available on
49:53
the the store for the channel. Check it out in the description below.
49:59
I definitely want fight coop for that because I didn't want you to say that
50:01
it's had a little fun here. Man. So have you played n C
50:05
A A yet? Did you You picked it up, didn't you? Yeah?
50:07
At a colleg football game. Yeah. Yeah, I got it right
50:10
before I got the night before it launched, and you know, I was
50:15
was holding out and holding out and holding out, but I had, you
50:20
know, I had a little a little gift card. Uh, and I
50:22
was like, you know what, I'm gonna go do it. Then I
50:23
just totally forgot to even put the gift card in and just shit abought it.
50:27
I was just gonna wait. I just don't have a lot of night
50:30
time that's open. So I started out of the heisman was was probably stupid
50:35
to do that. And so now I've back down, you know, back
50:38
down to varsity trying to learn stuff. I was a big Madden guy and
50:44
but also first person shooter stuff. Storyboard stuff like that. So and with
50:49
the kids freaking Minecraft, tell me this, how does this compare it to
50:53
Madden? Because I haven't played Madden in like ten years. I think that
50:59
And if you guys are in the chat, let me know. I think
51:01
that Madden is the AI helps you a little bit more in Madden, whereas
51:07
this one, you know, you don't get the certain leeway. You can't
51:14
go to certain plays over and over and over again. And you know,
51:19
I've played with a couple of different teams. You know, I had the
51:22
PS five version, So those are those are the things that I that I
51:24
use. But Madden seemed a little bit more easy for me. Now.
51:29
It doesn't mean it doesn't mean that I can't you know, adjust, which
51:35
I've adjusted now and for everybody in the chat. I just started my second
51:39
season through and an Auburn sixty three to ten this morning, and so I'm
51:47
getting a little bit better at it. You know, I'm a big I'm
51:52
a big lift the playmakers play and then I usually just grab the d tackle
51:54
and then just try to like spin move and press the middle. But you
51:58
know, I've gotten to where now I have to go back to taking taking
52:00
control of the linebacker or defensive end. I'm reckon shop with Katan Woollard.
52:05
Uh So, I was trying to trying to every time I see somebody say
52:08
something about that on X, I like to hop in there and let his
52:13
pops know. But yeah, no, I love it. I don't know
52:16
who the number seventeen BB running back is, you know on Oklahoma that still
52:22
still blows my mind. But your boy I scored three touchdowns with the Mega
52:25
Megua. You know this Megwa Megua action. I like that. Yeah,
52:32
we got z That's what I'm talking about. I'd love to hear that.
52:37
All Right, we got a quick super chat Michael, thank you so much
52:39
for the four ninety nine. We appreciate the love. So the question is,
52:43
with Alabama lsu' spending over two hundred thousand average and Oklahoma spending eight thousand
52:46
and four in il per owe three, how does that affect us? Oh?
52:51
I would be honest, those numbers aren't accurate at all. Zero accuracy
52:57
there I can tell you for an appsloce Loot facts. I've had conversations with
53:04
multiple different NIL collectives and Jay I've had these conversations with you. There's a
53:08
difference from general nil and private donations. And that's where I'll leave it at
53:13
that. So if you need a private donor for a specific situation, and
53:17
I'll just throw out a random one that people hear about a lot of the
53:20
time. Mister Iichord is part of the love's family, now married into the
53:23
love's family. If the love's family comes forward and says, hey, Risten,
53:29
we hear that you need a little something something, they're gonna show up.
53:32
And same thing with folks in Auburn, Michigan, LSU, Alabama,
53:37
all these different things. So these these these reported numbers are are are pretty
53:44
pretty just they're they're not They're not accurate. They're not accurate. They're not
53:49
accurate at all for Alabama or Oklahoma or LSUS. Put you like this,
53:55
that's the reason why Dominic is here, Dominic Williams is here. Right.
54:00
You know the Yas Texas fans, they'll say you they were pretty upset that
54:07
there was no actually Texas fans that were upset that they lost the quote unquote
54:13
bidding war with US for him. Right. I don't know if it was
54:15
a bidding war or not, but that's what you'll see all over message boards
54:19
it's the funniest thing in the world. But I say this, we're spending
54:22
way more money than that than what people believe, right, way more so.
54:30
But yeah, on average, I mean, you know, the good
54:31
thing is that we know that Oklahoma takes care of everybody on the roster.
54:37
That's the one thing that they said they wanted to they sought out to do,
54:40
is make sure all players are taken care of, greatly appreciate. That
54:44
helps bring a little bit of community. Plus, the players take care of
54:45
each other. To contrary to probably belief, players don't be mad at each
54:50
other because of what each other makes. They You've seen more players help others
54:53
get deals that couldn't get deals than players being mad or jealous because others getting
54:58
paid more than them. A lot of them go out there and they ball
55:00
out, but they do come up and say, hey, I produced let's
55:06
talk, and they're negotiating all that stuff. But yeah, and this is
55:10
exactly right, blood We're broke because we are overpaying for people. Though,
55:15
But it's like it does never makes sense, right, So that's why I
55:19
don't read in controls or anything that they say. I just ignore them because
55:22
it doesn't make any sense. None of it's it's all illogical in most of
55:24
their arguments. But I digress back to NCAA conversation. Go ahead, Oh,
55:29
I was just gonna say. Another thing is like, you're not gonna
55:32
find SMU on that list anywhere, and SMU is doling out some cash right
55:37
now. You're not gonna see them on any national list. But SMU has
55:40
money on money on money, and and they're they're doing a great job right
55:45
now. And remember they're not getting paid by the conference, they're not taking
55:47
conference TV revenue, and they're still doing this. So if you've got private
55:52
donor bases that want to shell out some cash there, they will do it.
55:55
And Phil not doing unlimited nil. So they should be number one based
56:00
off of any reports. Correct, Yeah, correct, it better be,
56:02
And I bet you they're not. That's guess She's The bad part is that
56:05
a lot of that souff. I gotta go find the report and see what
56:07
it says. We'll dig into it in another video a little bit later and
56:10
really talk about it. But let's uh, it's ca though. I finally
56:15
got myself playing a little bit of a little bit of it. I played
56:19
on Heisman, I played on all American. I played on Heisman against Penn
56:22
State at at Beaver Stadium. That was an experience. I'm not even gonna
56:29
lie to you. That was wild. It didn't wide out, but it
56:32
was a wild experience. I think the most fascinating thing about that one was
56:37
for me with it being there was And one thing that bothers me about the
56:43
game is a pick six is really easy. That seems to be like the
56:46
easiest thing to do on the game. I had like three pick sixes in
56:50
that one. I had three pick sixes against LSU. I almost lost that
56:53
game on All American, which kind of upset me. But LSU was actually
56:57
pretty solid. But Grant Grant through five interceptions and I took three of them
57:01
to the house, right. It was weird. And then Jackson threw two
57:06
interceptions in both games. I was being I actually was pushing the wro own
57:10
button. I started figuring it out. It's like, dang, I'm pushing
57:13
the wrown button. I'm thinking I'm throwing it the dude on this side.
57:15
And I keep hitting circle because I'm used to hitting circle on the Xbox three
57:17
sixty and it ain't circle. That's not the dude at the circle and so
57:22
I'm sitting there playing is like I was playing fourteen, and I'm just like,
57:25
shoot figure out the buttons to get the buttons right now, and playing
57:30
on Heisman, I overthink, So I overthink my routes before I call them,
57:32
before I pick them, like I've already got my progressions done before,
57:37
and so I have I'm I actually have an idea who I'm gonna throw it
57:39
to, regardless, and I see to work out so far just because I'm
57:43
you know, pretty compulsive on that. But it's been fun. That has
57:47
been it's been a fun game. They did a really good job. The
57:51
tackle leing is really tough, which I appreciate, and the ability to break
57:57
tackles is somewhat really hitting the whole. I think that's the one thing that
58:01
used to bother me about the NCAA fourteen was that if you didn't have it
58:05
like wide open, Like if you weren't wide open, you weren't making,
58:07
you weren't taking into the house, you weren't going anywhere on this Oh you
58:12
can get a hole and you can get past the dude and go just like,
58:14
oh dad, this is realistic. The run game has been real for
58:16
me. Seth with another two bucks. Thank you so much. We appreciate
58:20
it. SEC wants to get to twenty teams. What for do you add?
58:23
Oh, that's a good one, and this would be the last question
58:27
before we wrap things up. Okay, but I know who I can't care
58:31
and this may be one. But I've been hearing more and more people start
58:36
talking about it. You don't add Florida State. And here's why. Florida
58:39
State has been an absolute problem in every conference they've ever been a part of.
58:44
Florida State asks for the moon, and they're just a pain in the
58:51
bice So I don't think so. So if we're saying any teams, absolutely,
58:55
any teams, I'd like to bring in Ohio State, Clemson, Oregon,
59:07
and then you know what, because I want him to f around to
59:09
find out Colorado. I love the fact that you just went all over the
59:14
map with yours, so I'm gonna give some realistic ones to Southeast. Well,
59:20
so I'll put it this way, I think Sankei cares about regionalization.
59:23
He's probably the only commissioner that cares about that. As we're now their border
59:29
team, and I don't think they will want to go past this direction.
59:31
But once we go to the Super League and they change everything, I think
59:37
it goes back to the old school. Look anyway, I think there's gonna
59:38
be an SEC. There's it's gonna have ten teams. There's gonna be a
59:42
Pac ten. There's gonna be a Big ten. There's gonna be like another
59:45
a Midwest ten, right that include Texas, Oklahoma, and I ride in
59:50
the Midwest. It's gonna be a Northeast ten. It'll be more of an
59:52
actual realistic look, right, So I expect that. But if I was
59:59
to add four teen, I think that what they would go for, they'd
1:00:04
probably go for Clemson. They would probably take Clemson. But to be honest,
1:00:08
I don't think that one makes sense. And this is the reason why
1:00:10
I don't think it makes sense. Already, Gota South Carolina. You're in
1:00:14
that market. You don't need any more of that. I can see them
1:00:17
taking both North Carolina teams only because they're tied together at the hip, even
1:00:22
though North Carolina would want to go to the Big ten. I could see
1:00:27
the North Carolinas, I could see Miami, and then I could also see
1:00:36
probably Virginia or Virginia Tech. That's probably the four teams you end up with
1:00:43
Clemson, you would want just because of name recognition, But South Carolina and
1:00:47
Clemson place Carolina, you don't really need the market. North Carolina, though,
1:00:53
will be a lot bigger and it keeps everything connected. That's the ones
1:00:57
I'm thinking. They're really the only ones that I I think that I would
1:01:00
like to see is Oregon and Ohio State are the two. And the reason
1:01:05
why I said those two are I want to see what Ohio State. I
1:01:07
think Ohio State and Oklahoma's you know, programs have been pretty lined up,
1:01:13
pretty accurate, I mean pretty close to the past couple of years. Both
1:01:16
of us have had absolute struggles when it came time to leave in our conference
1:01:21
and play in SEC teams, you know, in the playoffs, and so
1:01:23
I would like to see what is what does Ohio State look like running through
1:01:27
the SEC. Oregon the same situation, And I don't know if there's another
1:01:30
team outside of those two that you want that. Now, if USC fans,
1:01:37
you know, have some some self respect and demand better out of their
1:01:42
program and they can get that thing turned around, sure you bring USC in,
1:01:45
but you know we're heading towards super conferences. It's going to happen.
1:01:51
It's so you just sit out. But I think that, uh, I
1:01:55
think the matchups, you know, there's there's going to be so much fun
1:02:00
coming, you know here in the next couple of years, just with all
1:02:02
this stuff. And you know, do you think I can say, yeah,
1:02:07
I think you bring Michigan into if you want to. I want to
1:02:08
see what Michigan does. I love Sharon Moore obviously. You know, if
1:02:13
you're a center fan, you should be rooting for that guy, right,
1:02:15
But you know they they run a style of football that's I'm not too I'm
1:02:22
not too sure how that lines up with if you're playing likewise competition week in
1:02:29
and week out, because it gets pretty tough, gets pretty tough, banging
1:02:34
your head against the wall for sixteen weeks. No, that's a fair point.
1:02:37
That's fair. All right, we're out. We're gonna wrap this up.
1:02:42
Thank you out for pulling up. Please hit that like but if you
1:02:44
