  Speaker 1: On today's pot we got to talk about what just happened.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The college football playoff field has been announced. We got
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: two rematches in the first round. Somebody got left out
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that's been in the field forever and they didn't even
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: play a game. We got a lot going on.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Heineken zero zero. Get the facts,
• 0:19

  Speaker 3: He claims he brought the mullet back. His short shorts

  Speaker 3: found when it's his round.

  Speaker 4: There's my Hoineikan zero zero.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: But he's our best mate, and even though he's always
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: banging on about dust past completion, there's no one we'd
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: rather watch the match, but to the sports that bring
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: us together. Heineken zero zero for the Twelve.

• 1:26

• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Here's your host, my confident young man, a defirm applete.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Gary Siegers.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Welcome in Winning Cures Everything. It's a college football podcast.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Gary Segers at Gary WC on all

  Speaker 1: me a DM there, or you can become a member
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: over buy me a coffee dot com slash Winning Cures

  Speaker 1: you can knock that thing out. You can also reach
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: out on YouTube as well, very easy to do that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: YouTube dot com slash at Winning Cures Everything. I think
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's the way that that thing is written. Now, good gracious,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame is out of the playoff. Alabama, Miami, James Madison,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: they are all in, and as Ari Washerman would say,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it just feels right, right. Ari shouted something last year
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: about how you can't use feel to set the playoff
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: field right. It can't be based on a feeling. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: has to be based on evidence and blah blah, blah blah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: because he said that Paul Finebaum and his take on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Alabama needing to be in the playoff was going to uh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it was the greatest threat to the sport of college
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: football in history or whatever it was. And yet here
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we are. The committee set parameters. They followed the parameters.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But let's be honest, this was politics at work. This
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is what you get when you put in automatic qualifiers.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And yeah, some people are upset, and that's okay because
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's going to be like that. Sometimes some people are
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: going to be upset at the end of the day.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of you guys know, I am an Alabama fan.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It would not have mattered to me in the slightest
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama is not going to win a national championship this year.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But neither is Oklahoma. Neither is Ole miss neither's Tulane,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: neither is James Madison, neither is probably Texas A and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: m neither is Miami, like anybody from probably yeah, let's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: say six down. I think Oregon potentially could. I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech probably cannot because of the quarterback play. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we will have plenty of time to hash
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that out. Depends on the matchups. So I would imagine
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Indiana, and Georgia all obviously can Now I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see whether or not Indiana's roster can
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, continue to do things weekend and week out
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: against really good, high level rosters. That's what I want
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to see. But the way that this thing has shaped up, yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you have to play either Alabama or Oklahoma, Then you're
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: probably gonna have to play either Texas Tech or Oregon,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and then you gotta play more than likely Ohio State
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: or Georgia. And we'll see if you can do that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: three straight times. But anyway, let's get back to the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: topic at hand, which is Notre Dame Notre Dame. Some
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: people call it a snub. I don't believe that's the case.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: If you are looking at the last two at largest
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Alabama and Miami, Alabama had a significantly stronger resume than
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, like significantly stronger. So we came down to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Miami and Notre Dame, and Miami beat Notre Dame head
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to head. The issue that we ran into is that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the ACC champion was not good enough to make the field.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So now you have two g vives that got in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: instead of just one and in that case, are you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: going to leave out an entire P four conference or
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame who has a scheduling agreement with that P
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: four conference and feasted off the bottom of that league.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The two most difficult games that Notre Dame played this year,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: we're against Texas A and m who was the fourth seed.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I believe this right. They were the fourth seed in
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the SEC and Miami, who was the third seed in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the ACC and they lost both games. Now, yes, they
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: were at the beginning of the season. I understand that. However,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they did not have any good wins to offset that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Not only that, one of the teams that they were
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in competition with for the last at large spot was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a team that beat them head to head. So there's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: really nothing that you can say other than, well, I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: think they're just playing better right now, Okay, we've tried that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: People get upset about that. Is it about resume or
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: is it about who is the better team? Notre Dame
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: could absolutely have won a national championship, absolutely, but they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: did not have the resume to get there. That would
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be like us saying that James Madison, we think James
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Madison could get there, Eh, but did they have the resume.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: We were literally contemplating Duke and James Madison. The whole
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: point of this is that if Duke had made the field,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know that Miami necessarily would have to. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: then you have to try and tell the college football
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: public that, yeah, we know Miami and Notre Dame played,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and we know that their resumes are incredibly similar, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: we know that Miami won the game, but we just
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: think Notre Dame's better. At some point, the games have
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to matter. And yes, you can talk about Alabama being
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a three loss team. The issue there is Alabama lost
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to a team that they had already beaten and they
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: are a top three or four team, whichever way you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: want to call it, but they already beat them on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the road. Yes, Alabama has the worst lost or worst loss,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but they also have five wins that are better than
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: any of the ones that Notre Dame grabbed. So at
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: some point we have to start looking at what have
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you done? And I to understand not everybody can control
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: their schedule. Notre Dame, however, they get to control their schedule.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: They can schedule whoever they want to. Nobody is going
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to turn them down. They do have the ACC schedule
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: agreement that they locked into and that's just to make
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it easy. Hey, we're going to do five games against
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the ACC and they even went through and schedule it
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: where we want the big names. We want to do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Florida State and we want to do Clemson. I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that thing just got done, so that's going to be
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in the future. They're trying to workout details with USC.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But USC, of course is like we play in the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Big Ten. Now we got really difficult games. I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: know if we want to be going to South Bend
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: every other year, like I understand that. So it becomes
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: if your Notre Dame, basically what they've told them is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you might want to look into joining a conference if
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you want to have an AQ. Now the issue with that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of course, is if what Ross Stellinger is reporting is correct.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: If Notre Dame did, in fact, or if the CFP
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: did in fact sign a contract with Notre Dame that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: if they are ranked inside the top twelve, they are
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in AQ and it doesn't matter, well, then all this
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is moot because at this point next year, if Notre
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Dame was ranked in the exact same spot, they would
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: be in and it doesn't matter.
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: Hey, what's up y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair my favorite
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: thing about the holidays, deaking out my whole house. It's

  Speaker 11: Wayfair, Every style, every.

  Speaker 2: Home brought to you by Honeyken zero zero. Get the facts,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: be drinkaware, Visit Drinkaware dot e.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: He claims he brought the mullet buck, his short shorts
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: are a bit too short, and he's nowhere to be
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: found when it's his round.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: That's with Holligen zero zero.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: But he's our best mate, and even though he's always
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: banging on about.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Dust ninety percent past completion.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: There's no one we'd rather watch them much with. Yes
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: to the sports that bring us together. Heineken zero zero.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm phoning this out in from my Christmas sea swim
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: on my smart watch because only votaphones one number keeps
• 11:01

  Speaker 2: in terms apply see Votaphone dot I E forwards last terms.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But at that point, your ACC champ and all of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: your ACC teams would have been left out of the playoff.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And could you imagine what those meetings are like if
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you leave out an entire quote unquote power conference from
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the playoff. I mean, there's so many politics involved with this,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Like it's just mind blowing. This is what we should
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: have done years and years and years ago. Maybe not
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: years and years how about this last year. I was
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: pushing for this, And if you've listened to this podcast
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for any amount of time, you know this. They should
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: have gone with AQS and that's automatic qualifiers. They should
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have And this would require a lot of egos leaving
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the room, but it should be for SEC four, Big Ten, two,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Big twelve, two ACC one, G five and three at largest.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That is a sixteen team playoff, that is thirteen automatic qualifiers,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and you can set it up very easily. Alabama and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Georgia would not have played yesterday. You know who would
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: have played? Ole Miss against what Texas A and M
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: or Texas A and M against Oklahoma, Ole Miss against
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: who's the other one that got in? Good gracious recred
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I'm doing this while while I'm driving.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You guys know what I do. In the In the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Big Ten, you would have had two rematches because Ohio
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: State in Indiana earned the number one and number two seeds,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: so they would already be in the like they'd be
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in the playoff, So your championship weekend would really just
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: be a play in weekend, and instead of Indiana versus
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, you would have had Oregon versus Iowa and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: USC against Michigan. Yes, it's two rematches, but the winner
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: of those two games, based on where they are in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: this seeding in the conference, they get to make the playoff.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Oregon was already in, but the Big Ten
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: only got three teams in. Now you would have had
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: either USC or Michigan get in. Sounds good to me.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You don't think the networks would have loved that. In
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the ACC instead of Virginia having to play Duke, who
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: obviously Duke deserve to be there. They won the game.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: But instead of just trying to figure out whether or
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: not you were even going to get a team in,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Virginia would already be in as the one seed, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: then your two versus three would go ahead and play
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this weekend and it would have been Miami against Duke.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And if Miami couldn't win that game, well, then they
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: don't deserve to be there. If Notre Dame is ranked
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: inside the top twelve, they get one of those wild cards. Easy.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So now you've got to figure out, Okay, does James
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Madison get one of the at largest We don't know
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: tulamb was ranked higher. The whole thing is insane to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: think about. So I would imagine eventually we will get
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to this point, but we're not there yet because doing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that would require you to pull inventory from all these
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: networks CBS, Fox, NBC, FS ONE, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, etc.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Can you replace conference championship games with playoff games? I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if ESBN would allow that. So in that situation, no,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it's not just the SEC championship, it's all these others.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And would those conferences be good with doing whatever with
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: these play in weekends as opposed to a conference championship weekend.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And I think we might be getting to that point
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: because Notre Dame, of course, who was quote unquote snubbed.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And the reason that they're calling it a snub is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: because Notre Dame has been in the field from day one.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Remember they started these rankings at the very beginning of November,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and they do a ranking show on ESPN and they
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: tell you every week what the CFP committee thinks. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame has been ranked ahead of Miami every week
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: four forever. And the problem that they did to themselves
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: when Alabama lost to Oklahoma, Alabama was the number one
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: ranked one lost team. They were number four in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: country when they lost to Oklahoma. They lose that game and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: they get dropped all the way to number ten and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they are now the third ranked two loss team. Now
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you were the first ranked one loss team, but now
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you lose at home in a game that you dominated
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: as far as the box score aside from the three
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: turnovers and the special teams mess but you outgained them
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: by two hundred yards and you lost the game by
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: two points, and you had a missed field goal in
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the game as well. Oklahoma had to thread the needle
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to be able to win that ballgame. So they move
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Alabama back to ten, and they move them behind Notre Dame.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Miami was dropped all the way to number eighteen with
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: their second loss. They lost to Louisville, who ended up
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: eating FOR, and they lost at SMU in overtime, who
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: ended up eating FOR. Those are not awful losses, they're
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: not great. They're not as good as Notre Dame's losses.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But Miami beat Notre Dame, so they moved them way
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: far back, and they never flipped it even when Miami
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: started playing better. So you never took head to head
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: into consideration until the very last one, which is why
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame is all mad. So Notre Dame being quote
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: unquote snubbed has led them to announce that they are
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: not going to participate in any bowl game. And they're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of course saying, you know, they don't want to take
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the risk for their NFL Draft prospects. They don't want
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: them to be injured or anything like that. And from what
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I understand, a desire not to reward the system with
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: ratings or revenue, which could cost them millions of dollars.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Because the Irish, I guess, don't need the payout, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I guess they're not going to get the payout. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: don't understand what the situation is because if if you're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: not going to participate in a bowl game because you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: got left out of the CFP, then should you still
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: get your college Football Playoff payout? And Notre Dame is
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: one of those that gets a sizeable payout from the CFP.

  Speaker 11: the tech you love at prices you'll adore.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: For the twelve days of Christmas eurospar had for me
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: twelve Christmas eleven cakes are baking, ten salmon smoking, nine Christmas.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: Crackers, eight lovely Jesus even sheets of wrappings, six stocking fillers.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Five minutes spies for Christmas, case, three Brussels rouse, two
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: turkey legs under Christmas made Superriazy, U.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: S far super Easy Supermarket.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Do they not get that or do they just not
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: get their bowl revenue? I think there's a big difference here.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: So if you if you decide that I don't know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that there are a lot of
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: rumors about Marcus Freeman potentially taking the New York Giants
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: head coaching job. And I know a lot of people
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have started watching this uh calshi calshi ka l s hi,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: which is like basically trading on futures as far as
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the sport is concerned. And he the last I saw,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he was like a eighty percent chance of taking the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: New York Giants head coaching job or seventy seven or
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: seventy eight percent, whatever it was. This is you don't
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: see ten win teams skipping Bowl games like it's it's insane,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty wild that they decided they're just they're
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: not gonna do this, like we were told we were
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a playoff team basically from the moment that they started
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: releasing rankings and now nothing. But it just shows you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that this sport is so jacked up. I mean, if
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you really look and it's not jacked up per se,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it's a new hope, it's a new world. Indiana, Duke
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and Texas Tech just won conference championships. Indiana has not
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: won an outright conference championship since what the forties, Duke,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It's been a long long time. Texas Tech, I think
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's been the sixties. Maybe, well, they've never won the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Big twelve. I know that, But I mean, this is
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is outrageous, Like this is some crazy, crazy stuff
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that we're seeing now. And all of this is possible
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: due to nil the transfer. Uh, the fact that you know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the only coaches that are still active to have national
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: championships are Kirby Smart, Dabo Sweeney, Brian Day. That's it
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that I mean, that's the whole gamut. I mean, we
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: we've got we've got three teams in the college football
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Playoff whose coaches are headed to other gigs. Now two
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Lane and James Madison's coaches are still going to coach
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: them in the playoffs. Ole Missus coach is not going
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to coach them in the playoff because the school said no, no, no, no,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you're going to one of our rivals. That's we can't
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: let that happen. And then of course you've got rematches.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss already beat Tulane this year and what was it,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: thirty eight to three, I think was the final in Oxford,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and now it's going to be in a playoff game.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be a little bit of a different
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: circumstance because in this situation, Ole Miss is gonna be
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: without Lane Kiffen, but they will still have Charlie Wise
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Junior calling the plays on offense. So in which we
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: haven't talked about this on the show, Good Gracious, if
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss wins the playoff game, and then if they
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: somehow beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, they ls he
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: was gonna have to pay Lane Kiffin bonus money, which
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: is just insane. Somehow he got that written into his
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: contract that hey, because I'm not able to coach the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: team that I was with, you're gonna have to make
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: up the bonus difference, so I need my money. All
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of this is just mind blowing, absolutely mind blowing. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: let's talk right about some of the coaching news that
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: has happened, and I'm sure at some point this week
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk more about Duke and James Madison and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: all these others. It's some of the Bowl slates were
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do Army Navy. I'm gonna do a YouTube
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: show this week where we go over the playoff games
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. But you know, UCLA
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: did announce that they hired Bob Chesney. The UA B
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: situation was weird, really weird because the initial reports were
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that they had hired a Division two head coach or
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: an FCS head coach to be their head coach, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: then there were conflicting reports and it looks like Alex
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Mortensen has gotten the job. Very interesting. Matt Campbell takes
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Penn State how and the story behind that where Pat
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Kraft had the wrong agent information and that agent didn't
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: pass the interest on to Matt Campbell. That is mind
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: blowing that that happens today. I mean absolutely insane, So,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you know, just nuts. The one that I really want
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about is I floated this as a joke,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: almost like it made perfect sense. But the Virginia Tech situation.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: James Franklin has been given carte blanche in Blacksburg. He
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: had an incredible recruiting class for coming in at the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: last minute. Flipped a lot of the Penn State guys
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: over to him like it was just it was bananas.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: But now the coach that got fired earlier in the year,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Brent pry he was Franklin's DC at Penn State before
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: he got this job four years ago. Franklin has hired
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: him to be the defensive coordinator. So he was the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: head coach in Blackbird and now Brent Prye is going
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to be the DC and Blackbird. So it's basically just
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a demotion. I can't imagine what the terms of the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: contract are, but incredible, incredible stuff. We got a lot
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: more that we're gonna be talking about this week now
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that games are for the most part done. You know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing Bowl games and all that kind
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But we're gonna be talking a lot more
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: about the sport in general, and I can't wait to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: get into all of that. But for now we're gonna
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: get out of here. You guys have been fantastic. Thank
• 26:29

• 26:31
