• 2:16
  Speaker 1: my area. And I know that it's headed your direction,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: so make sure yes. And I was as funny as
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I actually planned on going for like a walk or
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: run after this, and because they ended up be later,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it won't be as hot or as muggy. And then
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it started storming, I'm just like, well, I guess that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: walk slash run is definitely not happening. So but uh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: coop man, how is your weekend going so far?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's been a lot. It's been a it's been a weekend.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But uh, but you know, I I just want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: say thank you to everybody for tuning in. Thank you
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: for those who have served our country and sacrificed a lot.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you to the families for sacrificing because I think
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of the times we think of the soldiers,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: but the families need a lot of props too because
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: they sacrifice the most, you know, letting their loved ones go.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And it's a this is a good weekend, and I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: think that with this weekend, we just need to understand
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that a lot of people working on our behalf and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: All the time. I always got to have social appreciation
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for people doing what they do. So thank you for
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: those that serve, don't say it too. I actually had
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: someone that used to serve and they were like, hey,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: just like, don't thank a veteran for their service today
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: because it really isn't for veterans. And I thought that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was kind of interesting.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Sacrifice.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, for the sacrifice those that actually aren't you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: here anymore, so here to say exactly exactly. They're not
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the ones that you can actually tell them thank you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I love that you Coop. You had to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: point out that you're seventy five percent Irish, one hundred
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: percent boomer. That's beautiful. That just warms my heart.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Have you been to Ireland? I once once doublin. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: don't get to go very don't get to go very often.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Went to Dublin.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Spent a short time there, but most of the time
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I have old family members who actually until twenty twenty
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: COVID took it down, but we had a family pub
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: for quite a long time and so got to go
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to one of those last years there.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I went in twenty thirteen. Interesting, so it's been a while.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay did tweet thirty yes, about twelve years. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we got to get you back out there. Just go,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, to Dublin. I want to go to Dublin.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I've been. That's on my list of places to go.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I know when they played the college football game, out thought,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: what was that Florida State in jaw Tech which we
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: saw that massive upset. Well, at the same time, it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: seemed like I been a fun environment to be a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: part of.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Ended up not being much of an upset.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, truth be told. Yeah, once the season completed,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it wasn't really much of a upset. But in life
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that we'll be able to talk about why that wasn't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: as much of an upset, especially when we get into
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: returning production. Well we'll jump into that. Well, we're gonna
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: jump into a few other things as well. So again,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: thanks for pulling up hit the like Bud Newt to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the chance, subscribe rate review, give us five coop. We
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: got another defensive commitment me and you didn't get to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: talk about this a lot here so the people can
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: hear your thoughts, but of course my excitements there. You
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: got a commitment from our boy, Brian Harris. Brian Harris
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is out of a Mandarin down there in Jacksonville, Florida.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Mander In High School comes in six four two ninety
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and He's legitimately measuring at the six four ish range
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and at two hundred ninety pounds as a high school
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and he brings in a lot of nice tools. Consensus
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Composite roughly three star player Rivals has him as a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: four star top twenty defensive lineman in the country. Coop,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I want you to give us your initial thoughts on this.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: As much as I hate to say this, when you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: see Penn State going hard after a defensive lineman, those
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: guys usually have an attacking style. That's the you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: when we lost out last year on a couple of
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: guys lost out to one specifically, we'll leave it there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: You know, that's the the attacking style of defensive lineman.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And I like this number one because I have an
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: uncle named Brian Harris who is a huge Polk fan.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: So this kind of is a is a fun is
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a fun one spelled differently, Brian has spelled differently, But
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: shout out to my uncle Brian.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: We'll see you this weekend.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But now this is good because you know a lot
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of questions going along around the where the commitments at
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and it always gets about this point of the year
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to where we are looking at the rankings and going
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: what's going on, like are we going to start sometime soon?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Like we're just gonna building no momentum, right, you know
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on, And so you get a defensive lineman.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: This guy is one of the fastest risers if you've
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: read any articles. He's a guy who is continually getting
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: more and more accolades. And so at the two ninety
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: six four, you know, you get him in on campus.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: By time the end of the senior year.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Get him a little schmitty time and you know, three
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: hundreds not too far away. So pretty excited about Brian
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to be joining the fold. And it's crazy, it's not
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: too long ago that defensive linemen and safeties were not
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the thing that Oklahoma is known for. But now you
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: have the safety room which is just extremely stacked. You
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: have the defensive line room that you know, whether it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the edge or whether it's interior. We continue to stack
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the names, and Brian Harris is the next one up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: So pretty excited about him. A lot of a lot
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: of powerful hands. He is a guy who is is
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: pretty quick but also pretty stout at the same time.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: So uh, a guy that as soon as mister Bates
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: gets a chance to get him in and work. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: know that he was recruited by Chabas and Bates and uh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: this is just another one of those guys, and the
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Nega effect is continued to uh to show with Bryan
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: he has a he has a very very very good,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of a hybrid skill set and.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Uh this is uh, this is a guy who projects
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: as an NFL body.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And that's what you're starting to see how these recruit
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: recruiting schemes is. You want to see guys who are
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you know, have the measurables that are going to go
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: to the league, and you get him into campus and
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: three or four years as they say on the commitments, uh,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: taking their talents for.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The next three or four years.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who I you know, I really
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: if if he maxes out, I mean, this is a
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: potential three year guy. And so pretty pretty good set
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: up there. I'm you know, we continue to get guys
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: out of Florida and it's never a bad thing.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Never at all. And you met that point there. You
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: got Chavis as well as Baits both recruiting him and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: mainly because for those that for the uninitiated that don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: know why he plays edge. You could see in the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: pict in the videos here in his huddle video, he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: plays edge down there at Mandarin even at two ninety.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: That's a big boy to be playing at the edge spot.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And just like you said, when he gets here to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Shmedi gets his hands on him, he's gonna
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: send He's gonna have him doing some stuff and he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: should get up there in the good three I think
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he'll be three hundred by the time he gets here,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: unless you know that Florida sweat really actually makes him
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stay around to ninety as he get those games because
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it's pretty hot down there. But he could come in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: at three hundred and they can get him to three
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: ten and easily over the spring, especially if he enrolls early.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: If he's not an early in Rolye. I expect by
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the end of his freshman year him to be three ten,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: three fifteen because he has the frame and everything for it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And watching him talk about why he picked Oklahoma and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: everything was pretty intriguing. He wants people to have no
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: question and I think the staff did a really good
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: job of recruiting him to give him the feeling that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: this is the place to be. But watching him on tape.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Shout out to our resident Texas fan, Benji, appreciate you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: pulling up. He's right, he was good on tape and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: he's very raw, which is really good. Right, even as
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a raw player, he looks really good on the tape
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and he can play I guess an interior or play
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: on the edge and if he maintains the speed at
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that size to do that, Oklahoma just got themselves a steal.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And you know, Coop, you mentioned and Naggie pointed this out.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He said this even on the socials, that it starts
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in the trenches and you can see that they're pushing
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for big boys like this on a regular basis. Now
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it's funny because again you made a really good point
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a minute ago, Coop, that we we missed out on,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know, someone that we were going after when it
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: comes to the you know, the recruiting trail. And this
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is something to kind of point out here. Give me
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a second. I want to get this. I want to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: get this right for you all so you can see it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But this is the this is the sheet of folks
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that was after this young man from Oklahoma to Penn State,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State. You know, you got Stanford, West Virginia, the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: East start to getting down or for real, South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh Miss. He was committed to Maryland Duke Incy State
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: all the way down to Auburn. Here at the bottom
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: every a lot of the programs that are known for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: having really good defensive linemen. Was after to be cute.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: That tells you everything you need to know about the talent.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, three star cool. Jane Jackson was also
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: considered three star, and then as the season progressed, he
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: started to move up, which I think Brian will as well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: because he was an under armor All American at their
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: camp that oh you the u A next camp, he
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: was an m v P there. He was the MVP
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: at that that camp recently. So now you see yourself
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: with a do big heads, big body, broad shoulders, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: athletic for a big man. Could we we We probably
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: got ourselves yet another steal in recruiting.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: He is a guy who and you know, as you say,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: with the the raw pieces there, it's it is an
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: absolute uh you know, it's an absolute pleasure to be
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: able to see that guy go out and really not
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: know what he's doing yet. And so you get him
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: into some really really good coaching. I mean, right now,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: it is pure instinct and athletic ability. And so you
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: get a guy like that, he's going to have to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: learn technique. This is not a guy I mean, it
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter how raw you are and how explosive you are,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the technique has to come because you know, the guys
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: that you're going to be going up against are going
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: to be technically sound, you know, for the most part,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: especially in the sec in the trenches. And so you
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: get him to come in here. He will not be
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: asked to be a superstar, you know, year one. He'll
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: be asked to come in and put in the good
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: work and to you know, try to penetrate the the
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: depth chart and you know, maybe that too deep. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: you see him white, you know, lining up wide, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of his tape one of the things that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: really really caught my eye on him is when you
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: watch a lot of this tape, they show the wide
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: field view and you just see how much space is
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: out there and open, and it just points out more
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and more like this one right here. Look how much
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: space you see right there on that field. And that
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: field also looks like something I wouldn't want to play on.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: But nonetheless that one's a little bit better. But nonetheless
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: you see how much space is out there, and you
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: know what it means for the trenches, because if you
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: can blow up the line of scrimmage and if you
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: can get in there and do some damage, all of
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a sudden, the rest of that field don't matter because
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the quarterback, he is no longer on schedule. He's going
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: to have to, you know, to react to the defensive
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: lineman crashing down on him and dude lining up at
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the edge at two ninety. I mean, it's just something
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: that you haven't seen a lot. It's no longer owe
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you taking guys that are in the two fifties, too,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: sixties and hoping that you can bulk them up with
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the meal plan, but now taking guys closer to that
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: three hundred mark. And that's what you need is you
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: got to have boys who are going to come out here,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: put on the lbs and and you know, be able
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to hold up because it's a war every single week.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And as you say, you know, you with you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: teams like Texas, teams like South Carolina, Alabama, Auburn, you
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: have to have guys in the trenches who are going
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to be monsters and a little bit of mutants there.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: And so I think that Brian Harris has some mute
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: in him, and I'd like, I am really really excited
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: to see what he can do once he gets here.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Me too, and I expect big things out of Brian Harris.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He was one. When I saw his tape, I was like, yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and you're right, Coop. You're gonna get some guys in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the two fifties two sixty range, especially if you feel
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: like they're a really good project that you see the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: upside on. But you don't have to only get those.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna spend, as you said, more time getting guys
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: into two seventy, two ninety heck, three hundred pound range
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: day one that has the speed and athleticism you need
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: on the defensive line. That's how you're gonna be successful
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. Keep it in a buck. You're gonna
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: win some five stars and all of that, but you're
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: also gonna win a lot of high fours and some
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: very high threes that people aren't the people don't see
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: or recognized immediately. And I think that's where Jim Naggy
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: comes into play. He's gonna look for those NFL traits
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the high school ranks, and if he sees them,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go after them. He's gonna say, no, go
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: after this kid because he has the traits that you'll
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate going forward. So love that pick up question is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what's next? Well, Oklahoma has some big recruiting weekends coming up,
• 16:15

• 16:28
  Speaker 1: big weekends for Oklahoma will be June sixth as well
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: as June twentieth. And we've got a nice list that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: were putting together over there on in the discord. I'm
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: gonna have it published probably tomorrow, since is Memorial Day.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere doing anything, so I'm going on
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: vacation the following week, so I'm gonna put together a nice,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: massive list of official visits and those are expected to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: be in town in which it is going to be bonkers,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Coop bonkers, I tell you bonkers, especially with Bo Bentley
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: changing his visit weekend to that one. So oh oh,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you's got a massive list coming through. Especially as we
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: talk about it here, June six is gonna.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Be there starting June and six Yeah, June sixth is
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: a big one. And that's the day that continues to
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: stick out to me, and it's, you know, it's crazy
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: because there's a lot of uh, you know, I've had
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: a couple of people reach out to me and say,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: you know, I hear that Naggy is really really taking
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: over him and his staff has taken over a lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: of the stuff for the position coaches. So instead of
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: you going out and trying to find your you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: your top fifteen guys that you want to start to
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: kind of looking at, you know, Naggy now hands you
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: a list of guys that have NFL measurables and now
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: it's your job to go out and maybe target those
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: guys on top of you know, the people in your list.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: And this is this is another one where you know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I feel like this recruiting class when it comes to
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the rankings style this year, you know, I'll just say
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: for ou fans, don't expect the top ten class this year.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think that that's going to happen. I think
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that's you know, you're hoping to be in that twenty
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: five to twenty range because I think that Naggie effect
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: is really going to be a big piece this year.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: And you start getting in some of these guys that
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: are you know, dudes who end up going to other
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: programs and showing out and then hitting the transfer portal
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and you know, maybe upgrading and going to a bigger program.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Now you get a lot of those guys in here early,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: and so you get them into you know, a higher
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: caliber program and gonna be a little bit of a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: better option for this coaching staff. And you just go
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: through it and you just look at some of the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: guys coming on June sixth. Some of these dudes are
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: just I mean, they're just They may not be the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the the top of the rankings, but these are all guys.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: You know, you look, had a guy like Deacon Schmidt
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: sixty five three, and I've talked to Deacon several times,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a dude who is trying to take Colorado by storm.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Just an absolute workout warrior. There's a lot to like here.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Bo Bentley. When you know, when our buckle finally you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: started kind of digging in him.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: This was a guy who was not yet on the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: national radar, but now everybody knows his name. Uh, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: he is an Elite eleven Next Step finalist, and he's
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: going to be a guy who the staff. You know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I really have pointed this out before. Jay, it's a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: guy that I think that with the reputation that our
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Buckle has started, you know, developing for himself with with
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: guys like Bailey Zappi and cam Ward and now the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: next one up with John Mattier, you kind of just
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: trust that. You know, if he's targeting a dude, he's
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: going to be on the solid rides.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Agreed, Agreed. And there's a lot of players that, like
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I think, Oh has already canceled his visit. I don't
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: know if Sincere Johnson's gonna make the trip, but I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: haven't seen him say that he's canceling any of his visits.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: We didn't end up in his top three, but if
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: he still comes to visit, that's huge to me. That's
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a massive win for Oklahoma for a player that is
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: uber talented. But Bo Bentley making the change and adjusting
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: his visit to where he's gonna show up on the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: sixth instead of coming on the thirteenth by himself makes
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you feel like there's gonna be some peer recruiting happening
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: while he's there, because it only makes sense for you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to come when everybody else is showing up, not if
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you're already sold and you're just trying to sell others
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: on joining you at said program. Of course, your heart
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: commit with Jr. Corey Smith is huge. Eli Golden is
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a pretty nice one to get into town. That Dallas Dallas, Yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Dallas Dickerson's gonna be a big.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Wary, fast riser.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who's starting to get a lot
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: of attention, and I know that a lot of guys
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: in our court have absolutely fallen in love with him.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: So yeah, guys like Tavion Branch, you know, Dallas Dickerson.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: And you're seeing a difference because even Bo Bentley, uh
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: six pounds, like that's that's a little something different. You
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people don't remember that. You know
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: when Baker was here, that dude was, that dude was thick,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: He had a lower body, that was you know, he
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: was not coming in at a one seventy five, one
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: eighty type of guy. You know, he was coming in
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: you know, closer to that one ninety range, and the
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: body types are just continually, you know, getting more and
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: more NFL style and uh, you know, Noah Best is
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: another one.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know. I love my guys, you know, I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: know I did.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: You know interviews with Toa, Katoa and a couple others
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: that made the SMU jump and SMU is making a
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: really really big push. But this is a list that
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you should not be too sad about.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: At all at all. So I'm happy with what we're
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: pushing for. I expect I expect that weekend to come
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: out with a few good commitments and so we'll be
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: here on Sunday. I'll be back home Sunday and next Sunday,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: so Being Coop will definitely go live whenever I get
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: back in town. Depending on that time, we'll definitely go
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: live and dive into what went down for visit weekend.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: So keep your eyes open for that. I think it's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be fun. If you got any questions or anything,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: please feel free to drop those questions in the comments
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: section so we can talk some more ball. But thank
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you for pulling up his light button. If you're new
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to the chance try rate review, give us five coop up.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: There was something that I sink on the social media,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: shout out to, of course, Josh Pate over there at
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Josh Pate's College football show, and he asks a very
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: intriguing question, and not very many people can actually answer it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this up here on the screen because
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's it warrants some attention. Here me do this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And on looking out my window.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So if you guys are wondering what I'm looking at,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: it's because it's storming. We've already got We've already got
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: trees uprooted all over the place. And and you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: our our new neighborhood, we built a new house a
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and so we don't have very
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: many trees like in the neighborhood. But you know, one
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards over here, we got a little
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: bit of a forest and you got trees already down,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: and it's already looking ominous.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So if you see me looking over there, that's why.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Right right, here's the question. He says, Solars football is messy,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: But when anyone claims it's ruined, I always ask the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: same question, do you do fall Saturday? Still feel the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: same and people say, and he also asked for anyone
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: saying that it's fundamentally different for the worst. Give me
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: specifics as to why Coop imposes question to you specifically
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: because a massive set of changes just hit college football recently.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: The first one that I do not think is a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: negative thing, and I don't see why anybody else would
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: consider it's a negative thing. But you know, people like
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to complain just to complain sometimes. But college football is
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: going to a seeding change, which would be straight seating
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: going forward. When it comes to the playoffs. For the uninitiated,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: what that means is after the first off, they're gonna
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: see them based upon actual seeding. There won't be an
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: automatic top four spot for conference champions. It'll be based
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: upon where you you are in the top twelve. Second
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: thing is is that as each rounds go, they will
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: do reseating. And that's my understanding with that. Coop, give
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: me your first thoughts around the seating, and then we're
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about Josh Pat's video.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, you just gotta look at it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: If anybody saw the top four seeds last year and
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you felt objectively like it was legitimate how it was
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: supposed to be and you really feel that way. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: feel like you're in a little bit of a smaller crowd.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Let's just be honest. You know, last year twelve was
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: an extremely competitive conference, but did they have a name
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: out there?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: They had Arizona State, that Press Texas.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: They had a couple of other teams that looked good
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: throughout the year, but they didn't have a marquee program.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: So how are you gonna sit there and tell me
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: that the Big twelves number one really deserves the same
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: you know, look as the SEC or Big ten number two,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: you know, really has that type of you know capabilities.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think any of us had Ohio State winning
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the national championship last year Week ten. I think most
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: of us thought that they were a very very good team,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: but it was still Ohio State. But you knew that
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Ohio State was probably a little bit more of a
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: favorite than anybody coming out of the Big twelve, or
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Clemson coming out of the A C C or anybody
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: like that. So this is this is a we We've
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: been through so many different things. You had the BCS,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you had the coaches Poll, You've had the first you know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you had the Final four type of situation. Then you
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: have the first year of the playoffs, and this year,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: they they didn't wait three or four years to kind
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: of get a good feel about what was going on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: They they they saw something that needed to be addressed,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: and they addressed it. And I will just I just
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: say it this way is if you go into the
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Big Twelve and you have a team who comes out
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: with two losses ranked number eighteen in the you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: in the top twenty five, but then you have a
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: team from the SEC who is the runner up, like
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: a Texas. I'm pretty sure that I would take Texas
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: over any Big twelve team again this year before the
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: season's even kicked off, if they end up at that spot.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And so, no, I don't I don't think that this
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: has much to do with it. We're just gonna be honest,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Like whether it's sixty eight teams with college basketball or
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: it's you know, the the the seedings for you know,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: college softball or college baseball or college football. You know
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: that there is a select few teams that really have
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: the chance to go all the way, and why not
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: reward those teams for being you know, a team who
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: ends up number two or number three in the SEC
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: or the Big Ten. These are the these are the
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: conferences that continue to produce the most. Clemson had its
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: run for a few years there, you know, we haven't
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: really seen that. We'll see what looks like a lot
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: of people believe in Clemson this year. But I'm fully
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: on board with this because you know, we've seen in
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the NBA, We've seen it in the NFL, We've seen
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of things to where you have you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: we've had years in the NFL to where teams win
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: their division at nine and seven And you're sitting there
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: telling me that that nine and seven team out of
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: the NFC South is going to stand up to a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: you know, fourteen and two team out of the AFC Central, Like,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: come on, you know that just doesn't it doesn't make sense.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: So you won your ward team for being as good
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: as they are, and it's just it is what it is.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a year to where your top
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: two teams are probably coming out of one of those
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: two conferences. Now, it's not like you don't get your
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: opportunity from the ACC or the Big twelve or Independent
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: or the group of whatever. You still get your opportunity.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: You still get the lineup and play. But I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: that you do it is only right to reward teams
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: who everybody knows and looks at and says that team
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: is probably better than this conference champion here, even though
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: they were runner up in their conference.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's true. That's that's that's a true way
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to look at it. And to me, I want conference
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: championships to have value, but not in that way of
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: having an Arizona State fly up into a you know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: like into a top four or something like that. You know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: when you know there was questions about them going into
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: it a conference champion like a you know, a Boise
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: State immediately getting a break. Make them play somebody if
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: they're not already in the top top if they're you know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: if they're because as as the highest rated conference champion
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: from the G five, you're probably gonna end up around
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: ten to twelve. I think the simulation here had them
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: at number nine. Now them versus Indiana would have been
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: a fun game. Ashen genty versus Indiana, who's just hot
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: up and coming squad they pulled the upset, we would
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. And that, to me is the allure of
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the twelve teamer is because you're gonna see if you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: do it right, like March Matten is, you're gonna get
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: a few upsets here or there, and that's gonna make
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: it fun. You're gonna feel like they're actual upsets because
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it'll be teams that you feel like are truly matched
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: up better in comparison, I would have liked Boise State Indiana. Hey,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Boise Sat may have pulled out that win. Then that
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: would have been a fun game to see Texas Ohio
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: State in the second round. You know, so I wonder
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: what we had already saw, you know in the semis.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it had been fun to see that, you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: then Georgia going against Ohio State or so a lot
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of those would have felt different. While at the same time,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you may have still ended up with the same two
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: teams in Notre Dame and Ohio State at the chip
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I mean Notre Da, No Dame, Ohouse. You may have
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: seen that those two, which is okay if you got
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the same result. But the thing is you want to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: see if teams truly can match up with each other.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you look at I mean, look at
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that that bottom tier right there. Do you really think
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that it wasn't going to just go ahead and be
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Texas versus Georgia, Like it didn't matter who came out
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: of the Arizona State.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: And is that Ohio state? Like, okay, it's Ohio state.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Never mind it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: So you're nearly you have that Texas Ohio state in
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: round two. And that's what people are more interested in
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: that first round. You know, in CUAA tournament, you're really saying,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: you know what sixteen seed can make the biggest amount
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: of noise versus the one you know, Indiana and pen
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: and Boise State. I mean, those are two teams right
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: there that you go, Okay, you guys are both here
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: because we've expanded the playoffs.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: You had a great year. We want to give you,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: give you props for this.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: But I can promise to this. We talked about it
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the year. That whole coaching staff
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: was very, very appealing to a lot of different programs.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: And you get the winner of those two and then okay,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: so now you have played each other. We've got the
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: winner of you two. Now you get to go see
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel and Organ and now we get to see
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: what happens from here. I mean That's that's really what
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: it should be, because I don't think that you throwing in,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: you know, a Boise State Oregon in week one, you
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: know in round one, that's not nobody you know, nobody knew.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Nobody had a good idea about Like didn't they play
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season too, right? I think Oregon and boys,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: you played early in the season. So you get that
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: again in round one. You know, how fair is that
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: for Boise State that now you got to go up there.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: If I'm bois of State or Indiana, I would relish
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: in the fact to say, hey, listen, we can do
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: this and we have a good shot of winning our
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: first playoff game in you know, program history. That's something
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: that Oklahoma is still looking for. So that's that's that's
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: a positive for some of these teams. But yeah, I
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: think that the just seeding at how is it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Supposed to be?
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: That's the way you got to go because it just
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: it just feels silly. You know, the NBA did away
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: with their stuff with their divisions and everything like that
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: a few years back, and you know, it's turned out
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: for the best. So if anybody has issues with this
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: or says and you can kind of move into Josh
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Pate because this is at the end of the season.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: For me, Jay, when I wake up on Saturday, I
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: still feel the same way as I felt in nineteen
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: ninety six. I still feel the same way that I
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: felt in two thousand and two. I still feel the
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: same way that I fill in twenty ten. You wake
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: up in Saturday, eleven o'clock, you know, is go time.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: You get your whether it's the you know, the Fox
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Big noon kickoff or whether it's game day, it still
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: feels the same. And to college students it still feels
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: the same. You wake up a little bit earlier, you
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: get the you know, you got herb Street and Fowler
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: of course, so no longer, but you know, you it
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: still feels the same for me, you know, every single year.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: And that's why I think that. Yet, you know, with
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: all the stuff that has changed in college football, this
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: isn't this isn't in Il's fault. It's not Handler's fault
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: or Agent's fault, and it's not you know, anything like that.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: These are things that we should have handled a decade ago,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: a decade plus ago, boom, and it's just still new.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: So when you move the cheese and if you haven't
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: read that book, go read that book.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Who Moved My Cheese? Great book.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: When you change these things, it is, you know it,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: it feels new, and people feel like when it's new,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: it can't be as good.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I still feel like college football is still as good.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: And let's be honest, you have five or six teams
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: every year that really have a legit, jitimate chance at
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: winning the national championship. You don't necessary I mean, let's
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: look at college basketball. You don't have sixty eight teams
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: who really have a good shot. Are you telling me
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: that you know, Alkhorn State or Sacramento State or any
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: of these teams who you know, win their conference tournaments
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: and they get to go up against the North Carolina
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: or in Illinois or something like that. Do you really
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: think that, like that's the first team that they're knocking
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: out and they're going straight to the championship.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: No, that's why we like the upsets because it is.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: So rare, and so you get a chance for these
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: teams like a Boise State to get in there and
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: see what it looks like to be against you know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: a high performing Indiana.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I personally like these things.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Man, And see, you echo, really what My entire sentiment
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: is with this, and this is why I agree with
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Pate and I disagree with a lot of people, even
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: some of my folks in the comments. Love y'all. But
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I do not think college football
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: has gotten worse whatsoever. I'm still I'm more excited now
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: than I was back in the day, and not only
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: because you know, we really cover this bad boy like crazy.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But the thing that gets me the most excited is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: is that everybody actually has a chance. Let's keep this
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a buck. You said it perfectly, Coop. Everybody didn't have
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a legitimate chance of winning a championship. That was never
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: ever an actual think. We like to tell ourselves that,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and I tell you this too. Everybody hears me say
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: this quite often. The point of having shows, podcastings of
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: this nature that exist is to talk about your favorite
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: team and hype them up. That's kind of the purpose.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: We're not. Yes, you can call the Sunshine pumpers. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: am totally fine with that, because who wants to sit
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: up and say that. But my team sucks as usual,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna go, you know, support them,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: just you know, even though I know they're gonna suck.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: No.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: You always want to feel like your team has a chance.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: And that's the beauty of college football is that legitimately
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: just about everybody has a chance, while at the same time,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: be real, here, not very many teams actually have a chance.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: It's not it never changed with NIL, as much as
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: we think NIL did make it to where some other
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: teams now have opportunity to do some stuff. But it
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: always gets down to two things. One is coaching and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: two the players actually executing. College football to me, has
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: got even better now because you got more eyeballs. People
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: have more reasons to complain, and that is great for
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the sport, Like the eyeballs are great now because and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I say that specifically because so many people always talk
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: about they talk about ratings as if they get paid
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: off of ratings. Like I hear that discourse about the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: NBA all the time, and I laugh, and it's like, oh,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the ratings are gonna be terrible if the thunder and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: play of the Pacers in the NBA finals, why do
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you care. The NBA just signed a ten year, eighty
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: million dollar television deal with all these partners. They just
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: went up three times what they were making before. That's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: not a problem, and it's not gonna stop. They'll probably
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: see a ten percent increase the next ten year one.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna increase. Why because it's live sports, the only
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: thing into today's market. And this even goes back philosophically.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I'll drop this on you all as well when it
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: comes to why shut channels like ESPN, Fox, Sports, NBC
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: all of them are changing the way that they broadcast
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: shows or types of shows. The reason is is because
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: y'all are here on YouTube watching me coop. You have TV.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Ain't owned these TV shows anymore. You have choices, so
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: you go and you watch on demand what you like.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Most of the time, you're watching shows based upon your team.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: You're not watching as in breakdowns of your team, not
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: as much around just the sport in general. Not saying
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you don't at all, I'm saying as much. The national
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: stuff is harder to do because people are cutting their cord.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got YouTube TV, but you only got
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: it so you can watch actual live games. So for
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: college football, their stuff's gonna keep going up because y'all
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: will watch a lot. That's the only thing live we
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: actually all watch consistently is sports. Sports is the one
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: commodity that will is gonna do nothing but increase because
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: it's the only way you can get people to sit
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: down and watch stuff live everything else on demand cause
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: we like that, we like the choices of that so
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: off of that soapbox. I don't think any of it
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: has been ruined by any of this stuff. Now this
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: is the difference though, Now, Coop, I want to get
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on this. My feeling has always been this
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: when it comes to nil and all of and that jazz,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: you've had people who have been willing to go to jail,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: go to jail to illegally funnel kids money that gives
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: them zero benefits besides seeing their teams get a w
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: on the weekend. Boosters are the wildest things ever exist
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to me, But it's also the most fascinating because what
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: value is there for a booster to throw all this
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: money at their school besides to say my team won
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a game. For real, you're not on the fields, you're
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: not playing, But you can your funnel money illegally to kids.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Now you can do it legally, But the problem is
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: everybody's was not regulated. It wasn't regulating they're doing it illegally.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: It was just slide. You know, everybody talks about Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: They're throwing money at people, right, It's right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: There's there's the stories of Barry Switzer digging in recruits
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: trash to find out what type of being that their
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: dads and then in bringing a six pack of their
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: favorite beer and going to someone and saying, hey, I
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: was looking at this, and I mean their roof was
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: leaking when I was in there meeting with the family.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, what if I had a roofing contractor that
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I could just send over there and say, hey, we're
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: doing a project in your era, we want to hook.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: You up.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: All kinds of stuff like that. And so this is
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: it is new, and like you said, not every fan base.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at the OU fan base, you
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: look at the Texas fan base, Ohio State, there's not
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: four different shows with twenty thousand plus subscribers for North
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Dakota State.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Or Oklahoma State. No offense still water.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: But you just don't have that type of brand, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: that's why people continue to click. I know that there's
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: guys in I know there's some of you people in
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: the chat, and I respect the hell out of you
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: because I am that guy. Long before I joined you, Jay,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I would go in and I would watch all the
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: content I could. I'd listen to Oklahoma Breakdown. I'd listen
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to Josh and Carrie and Jeremy Crabtree way back in
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: the day, because I want to consume that. I'm not
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: watching Hollywood Squares. That's an old school I'm.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Day went old.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not watching U.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: No ways to me to stop press your luck. I'm
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: not watching that stuff anymore. Those things aren't there. I
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: worked in TV. You try to go and sell uh
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: you know, Jeopardy and Prices right and stuff like that.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Those things still have, you know, a lot of viewership.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: But the fact of the matter is sports is still
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: very alive. People buy live sports and news, and even
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: news is starting to go down on the on the
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: on the lower tick because it's it's the same thing.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: You've seen all the everybody's gone on YouTube, and you've
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: seen people in Detroit and LA and Chicago, in Oklahoma
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: City and Dallas all saying the same exact same thing,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: and you don't you.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Don't care anymore.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Like we get these notifications on our phone and that's
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: all the news we need.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: And you know that the half of its lies anyway.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: And if I have to choose between Sunshine pumping for
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: my favorite team or Benji, I love you man. You
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: you you are one of my favorite guys. We've had
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: our te dattes in the past and our disagreements, but
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: you are a true guy who wants to watch anything
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: college sports related and you're going to watch those things.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna go watch Real Wives of Hollywood. I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: mean maybe you do. I'm not sure, but I don't know.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna judge you, Benji. I know that you
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: may like and dabble into retality, reality.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: World I Met Wars or any of that stuff, like
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: you know that those things don't that's not it.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, cable TV is dying, Baker. And this goes
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: way back.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I mean I worked for Cox Communications years in the past,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: and the the market manager came in at one point
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: and said, we need to focus on and this is
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: going way back. You'll know what I'm talking about right here, Jay,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: We're going back to Gigablast. We got to sell Gigablast
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: because the future is people streaming. And now you have
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: YouTube TV, you have Sling, which is like the the
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I guess the entry level.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: You have Hulu.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got all these things going on Fubo, you
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: got all these different things. People want to pay for
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: what they're watching, and you don't need seventy five thousand
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: channels anymore. That's ridiculous. You don't know, none of us
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: watch that much TV, and if you do, it's passive
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: while you're looking on your phone or watching something on
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: YouTube or whatever. So people still watch college sports, people
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: still watch NBA, people still watch all these things because
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: it is still the You can still get into the passion,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the rooting interests, and the rivalries. I mean, you look
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: at the w NBA is absolutely just gone from a
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: trash product to something that people are excited about because
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: of Angel Reavees versus Caitlin Clark, and it just doesn't
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: make any sense, but it gives you two sides to
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: kind of fight with. You know, I'm on team Reese,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I'm on team Clark. And those are the things that
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: continue to happen. You watched last night, how many different
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: narratives come out of the game with a Thunder game
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: last night?
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: You know you're watching that. I got Pete. We were
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: at Buffalo wild Wings watching the game.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I got one guys over here saying, oh, well, Minnesota,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: it just just went unconscious in Oklahoma City, you know,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And then there was all right, here's
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: the league rigging everything, and they paid the officials and
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: these guys haven't read the game in the playoffs and
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: now this clown show is out here and they're going
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: to do this. It's about the passion and you can't
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: have that over Well, did you see the dude who
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: was in Final Jeopardy, Like, you know, I want that guy.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: That guy's that guy's mind.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Man, if you can't root for a dude in the
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Final Jeopardy, but you sure as hell can root for
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: the Knicks or the Pacers or the Thunder or the Timberwolves.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: You can root for Caitlin Clark, you can root for
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Angel Rees. And you just gotta you got to tap
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: into the passion. And we don't have that. It's not
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: everybody sitting around the take you know, the TV at dinner,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: dinner time, eating your food and watching uh you know,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Jerry Lewis or anything like that. You got to watch
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: stuff that actually gets your emotions, uh, you know, kind
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: of route up so, uh, you know this is still
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: this is still college football NFL. I promise you this is.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: You know at USA today, we have initiatives around travel,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: we have initiatives around you know, home and gardens. We
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: got initiatives, initiatives around states, and we got sports. Guess
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: which one sell the easiest. It's sports.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: In all of our in all of our figures.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I don't hope I don't get in trouble for this,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: but in all of our figures, we still got over
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: seven seven million monthly views for the Green.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Bay Packers, for our newspaper products, the Green Bay Packers.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: It's that is that tells you something. It absolutely tells you.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Something tells you everything.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Even we didn't even have.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: That many clicks when we were giving away one hundred
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars that I personally got to give away, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: so people that tells me this is people be more
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: engaged with who the starting wide receiver is, what the
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: draft picks going to do, What is Jordan Love going
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: to do? Versus I, I'm my win one hundred thousand dollars,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Like people would rather focus.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Their attentions and their efforts on that.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, sports is still alive and college football is
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: still very much alive.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: What's crazy to when you say that is what makes
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: me think. What I think about that is fans believe
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that they have a better chance of their team winning
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: a national championship or a championship somewhere than they have
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: in actually winning a bunch of money, which statistically might
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: be true. I'm not going to say it's not. But
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: at the same time, are all all of our understanding
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: around this is is that college sports sports in general,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: it is king. It's not going anywhere. So I know
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: that some people are upset or bothered perturbed by all
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the adjustments that we're seeing in college football. Hey, I
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: don't like some of the decisions that they grown ups
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: are making either, But I also understand that this is
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: a business now, and because so many people are making
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: so much money that it's gonna be run like a
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: business to where they can keep it. That they want
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: to keep that money maker going. And the unfortunate casualty
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: behind that is that we've got to wait and see
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: how things turn out in the end. But I tell
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you this, college football here in the fall won't change.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be as exciting. Every conference game matters. We
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: just saw this with Alabama losing to Oklahoma, knock them
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: small South Carolina losing multiple games and their conference kept
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: them out right oh Miss, same thing kept them out.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: So losing one game may not be as bad, which
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: it never has been as bad. Losing two games can
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: be iffy. That third game destroys you typically and I
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: like seeing a little bit more parody. Kim said it
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: best here in the comments college football. You know he's
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: watched Oklahoma beat Ohio State and then you watch them
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: lose to Arkansas. There was so much emotion and everything there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: The tailgating is still ridiculous. Have been to a few stadiums.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. People still having a blast at these games. Now,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: you may not want to follow recruiting like we do.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: You know, we are definitely degenerates that can't stop watching
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: recruiting or following them. It's just, you know, it be
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: what it be. While at the same time, coop the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: nil component of it helps me do a better job
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: of deciphering who I want on my team and who
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I don't because, like a lot of y'all, y'all want
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: guys that just love the game and have a passion
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: for it. Cool player didn't pick your school because anil
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't have the passion in love that you
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: were looking for. And that is okay. You'll never hear
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: me complain about that, because I like the idea that
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna probably go after kids that fit perfectly what
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: we're trying to do winning. They care about winning, and
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: they're the type of kids you want on your roster,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and that's okay. I am gucci with that. I just
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: want people to understand because the other thing, that other
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: side of the NIL and the transfer portal components that
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: you have to consider too, is there's a player on
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the team that you think sucks and you want him gown.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: It's very easy to do that.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: You can kick kids. You can get rid of kids.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: You've always been able to get rid of kids if
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: you want to get rid of them, but you can
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: really get rid of them now. In comparison, you just
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: you know, encourage them to get in a portal. I
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: don't think you'll be able to play here, Let me
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: replace you with somebody else, probably.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Better, and think about it. I mean, you can go back,
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to disparage anybody. Any dudes by
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: names because I've already done this, you know a lot
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: in the past. But as an OU fan, as a
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Texas fan, as an Ohio State fan, as a Penn
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: State fan, there's always a dude on your team that
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: you're like, he is still here?
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: How in the hell is this guy still here?
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: And you know you got guys, you know, I'll pick
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: on a little man.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Bookie.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Bookie was a guy who had a lot of accolades,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: was you know, borderline five star and a lot of
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of different areas and sooner Cowboys brings up
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Jackson Arnold. I mean, plain and simple, how would you,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: as an OU fan right now feel going into the
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: year versus last year?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: If we were rolling into this year.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Our buckles here and nothing changes except for in sediment's
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: here you got Arnold because he couldn't go anywhere, how would.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: You think.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Would the feeling going into this year as an NOU
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: fan be better?
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, tell me in the chat.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Let me know, guys, what do you think if if
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: it was if you had Jackson Arnold running into this year,
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: do you feel better about the season or worse? Because
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's gonna be ananimous.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel like everybody will say the exact
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: same thing. And it's nothing against our guy, Jackson Arnold.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: You know, thank you for being here and trying to
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: figure things out. It didn't work out though. You look
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: with you at Auburn, we can't wait to play against you.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: But that's exactly it. Oh, y'all would have been like,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: hey man, why he's still here? Can we get rid
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: of him? And you know a lot of y'all would
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: not be wrong, but that's the game today. It's you
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: gotta have You can't have one side and not the other.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: People believe that players have more power, have the power here.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: They don't have the They just have more power, like
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: they have more than they had before. They're more at
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the forty percent where the team and the coaches have
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: sixty instead of it being only one way. And that's okay,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: you're still gonna enjoy it. Guess what y'all gonna still do? Yah,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: don't watch these games, because I'm gonna watch these games.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: We're gonna watch these games. We're gonna have oursel's a
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: good time. We're gonna talk ball on here week after week.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Why cause uh, you can't beat it. So I don't
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: think that college football has gotten worse. I think it's
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: gonna do nothing but improve more and more, especially when
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: we figure this stuff out, and you're gonna see a
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: lot more parody. You're gonna see some teams that they're
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: gonna have an influx of money from their boost that's
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: gonna actually help them be a more competitive football team.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: But no matter what, the kings of college football will
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: always still be at the top. So you're gonna see
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: some people come to the top for a little bit.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: You're gonna see them going right back to who they
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: being in the last thirty years. You're gonna have some
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: team because there's a lot of teams that are now
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: better now than they were before. But it was a
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: consistent thing of they'll be here for a bit and
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: then they're gonna go right back down to where they
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: were before. So just keep that in mind. Thank y'all
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: for pulling up at the light button. If you new
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe rated review, give us five.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Derek.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: I definitely do Sunshine Pump a lot. It's so much fun.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: It's the only reason why I'm here. Like, why would
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I not get excited about my team? Like, what's the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: value of talking about college football. You're excied about your team,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: unless you're like a Bama fan or currently a Texas fan,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: they're super excited. Gonna miss you, benj. You have a
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: good night. Sorry I had to I didn't get to
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: say holler, take care and enjoy the holidays with your family.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: There's a good question in here that I saw from
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: let me see Midnight. I would like like, like, uh,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: where is he? I started, and then I started on accident,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: which I always hate that I do that sometimes push
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: the wrong button. But there's more so a question about
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State and oh you bringing back Bedlam, Coop? Do
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: you see us? And oh, here it is five to midnight.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you, boss. I knew I had it somewhere. When
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: do you think, oh, you know Oklahoma State will revive
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: the rivalry now? Me and John talked about this overlocked
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: on as soon as you can check us out here
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: on YouTube as well. But this is the thing I had, Coop.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: This is the thing that bothered me about all of this.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: I personally do not see a reason why they don't
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: have bedroom right now, mainly because all you gotta do
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: is buy out one of these uh these uh non
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: conference games with one of these lower end FBS schools,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: you know, these g fives and then just bring it back.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Both schools can't afford it. They got the money to
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: do it, so you know, like Nike, just do it.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: What do you think do you think Oklahoma and Oklahoma
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: State are gonna be able to revive Bedlam? And if so,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: when do you think it can happen?
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna Personally, I don't think it's gonna happen.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: I think that the halfway to make it happen would
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: be with lesser you know, with all due respect with
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: the with other other sporting events, you're gonna have to
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: uh in Baker your one hundred percent ride. I don't
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: think that with Gundhy, with their Gundhy, it's not like
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: it's you know, right now, they are as about as
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: high as they can potentially get when it comes under
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: the football stuff, because they are the forever Bedlam champion
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: because they won that last game, and that is as
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: good as it's going to get for them. It's as
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: good as it's going to get for them. So in
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: order for it to happen, you're gonna have to see
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: you know, softball, You're gonna have to see baseball. You're
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: gonna have to see basketball, You're gonna have to see
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: the wrestling stuff. You're gonna have to see those things,
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to see the turnout. Continue to
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: entice Oklahoma for that reason, I don't think Gundhy has
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: any desire to do it. I would say that if
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State said we are in, I don't think that
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: our administration would drag their feet for too long. But
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: I just think it's an Oklahoma State thing at this point,
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: and you got to kind of why what does Oklahoma
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: State gain from it?
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: You know? The consistency of let me say it this
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: way is I think that for so.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Long Oklahoma State was trying to become a program again,
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: you know, because not since Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: and those guys did they have any national recognition at all,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: and they were trying to get there. And then that
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: rivalry with the games like the two thousand and one
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: you know, the two thousand and one loss or what
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: is it, two thousand and five loss or two thousand
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: and four, something like that. Rashaun Woods just went off
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: maybe two thousand and three, three moostchemes right there, put
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: os u in a Hey, they had a couple of wins,
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: you know, back to back, you know, a couple of
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: different times against Oklahoma, and so it all of a
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: sudden said they belong, they're they're the same level in
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: as ou is. And now you are not only going
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: against a rival who has absolutely just I mean, I
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: don't know of a rivalry that has a bigger separation
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: between the two teams. Uh. And if you if I'm
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: missing one, let me know. But you know, the whole
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: seven and teens, you know, true rivalry. You know, I
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: don't think that. I don't think it just it doesn't
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: do anything for Oklahoma. I think it's a lose lose
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: for Oklahoma. You beat them, you're supposed to, you lost.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: That's not a good look. Yeah, if you go to
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: the nine conference games, why add a distraction in there?
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Because instead of and let's just say, I mean you
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: go to the SEC text us know you knew going
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: to SEC, you get your late season you know, uh cakewalk,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: you know, or later in the season. Why would you
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: replace that with something like this, like why would would
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: Texas ever go out and you know, bring back a
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: case state you know, late in the season instead of
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: Citadel or something like that, Like I don't I don't
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: think so. I don't think that that is ever going
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: to happen. So you're going to have to go with
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: those other those other lower revenue you know, matchups, and
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: it's going to have to make it clear and undeniable
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: that football is worth the swing. Now, if you made
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: a deal to where it's not an every year thing,
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: but let's say you do it every five years, I
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: think that's a good starting point.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I would like to see it.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: I personally would like to see us play Oklahoma State
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: again because I think that what we were in the
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: Big twelve versus what we are now is a little different.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: You go completely different from just a strengthen the trenches
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: and just a caliber of athlete that's we're recruiting nowadays.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: That is that is a big difference.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: OSU Still, I mean, I think they got to focus
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: on being relevant to Big twelve again.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Last year was supposed to be their year.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: You brought back your senior super senior, super adruple twelfth
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: year senior quarterback, you have the dope walker you know,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: favorite in Ollie Gordon, and that was supposed to be
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: their big year and they got just trounced up and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: down the field throughout the Big Twelve, and they didn't
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: look like they belonged. Would Oklahoma State look at an
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Ou in the middle of that? Even with our offense
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: last year, you know, you know, you local radio and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: don't listen to it much, but you know, I still
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: thought it was pretty funny. You have the worst defense
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: in Oklahoma State history against one of the worst offensive
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: in Oklahoma history, and you're like, well, could oh you
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: at least score against them? And you know, it became
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a kind of tongue in cheek,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: you know, conversation. But I just don't see it happening
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: anytime soon. I think it's going to have to be
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: some time to where people actually miss it. But I mean,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: you know, like as an OU fan, I just I've
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: kind of moved on from it. Like my family don't
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: even take jabs at each other about over anymore.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: It's just everybody's kind of moved on.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: That's me. That's my point. That's my thing. The value
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma Oklahoma State is less about on the football field,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: and it's more about talking smack outside of the game.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: That really is where it is because It's one of
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: those rivalries, the rare rivalries where the people live above
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: with each other and both teams have moments of being great,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: like Okahoma States had its moments where they were you know,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: they were you know, they were pretty good and it
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: was fun to see the game.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: You get that.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: You don't get it all the time, but you got it.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: To me.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: That's why you need to have it back, because it's
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: more about fans enjoying, you know, talking smack to each
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: other than actually, you know, the actual game fully and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: it could become something you become something big. You just
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: gotta do it that Like, there's no excuse not to
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: have it like that, that both both are there. You know,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State's being ridiculous. Oh he's being ridiculous. Everbody's being
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: ridiculous behind it. There's no excuse for it not to
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: be to exist or go down to me.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: But I just name me another another podcast right now
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: or another TV show right now in the ACC, the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Big Ten or the SEC that's talking about Oklahoma State.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, no one talks about Oklahoma State.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: So that's that's where I'm going, you know, And BBQ
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: brows like, you know, I feel you right there is
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: because I just don't. I think that Oklahoma needs to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: get their crap back in order hopefully we see that
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: this year you get your relevancy back in the SEC
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: and you get your you know, be back into playoffs.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: I would say that in order for that conversation to happen,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of things need to happen. OHU needs to
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: handle their business. They need to get themselves back into
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: a good foothold at the top of the SEC, in
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: the top of the country.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: As soon as those things nail down.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: But right now, you've got you know, getting back to
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: where we were, You've got nil you've got organized in
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: the front office with revenue share. There's so many other
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: irons in the fire right now, Oklahoma states not even
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: in the top five. You know, things that you need
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: to address as a program from Oklahoma. And I think
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: that if you can get all of those things nailed down,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: and you get yourself, you know, three or four years
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: to where Oklahoma's back there at the top, you at
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: that point, maybe you start those conversations. But I don't
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: see it happening until that happens.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can. I can see what you mean there.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Because I mean are you really Why do you need
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: that game for recruiting? No? Do you need that game
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: for national relevance?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Do you need that game for bragging rights? I mean
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: that's all time record, which is you know.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Right, Like that's the thing. It's not really a big
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: picture one. It's more of a fun one for the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: in state people. To me, it's like Washington Washington State,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, oh Miss, Mississippi State, Like that doesn't do
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: much for ole Miss at all, but it's an end
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: state rivalry and they're in conference with each other, so
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: you do keep that. Kansas Kansas State, similar byu Utah.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: They always kept the Holy War. They let it go
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: for a bitting out. They're back consistently. Texas Texas A
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: and M was another great one. You know, Yeah that
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: went away. A and M didn't want to do it
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: again because you know, they didn't never want to play
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Texas again. That's why they ran away. But you want
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: to keep some of that, And like you said, like that,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: that's why Oklahoma and Texas are both in the SEC
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: together because they want to maintain that at all times,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: because they know that with each other.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: They do it.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: They can they know that that's a massive game, but
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: I do really want to have I do want to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: have that game just for the tradition that it used
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: to bring for years. But we'll see if Oklahoma State
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: decides that they care about tradition and all of that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: stuff and they'll make it happen. Thank got all for
• 1:05:37

  Speaker 1: around if you guys want to continue to join us.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Appreciate y'all pulling up ESPN our guy Bill Connley. Love
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Bill Conley, great guy. I actually had some back and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: forth conversations with him. He's fun. One day I'm gonna
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: convince him to come on the show. But he dropped
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: his winter Top is a spring actual Top twenty five
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: returning production nationally, and so of course we've got Oklahoma,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma stay I mean Nowlkam say, I'm talking about the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: we Oklahoma, we got you know, Auburn, we got everybody
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: in the SEC like we typically always do. I'm gonna
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: get the graphic up and running for you all to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: be able to enjoy because I love these conversations. This
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: is fun for me because we get to talk about
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: who's gonna think, is gonna be any good, who's not,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: et cetera. This bad boy does not want to fill
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: up the way I.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Wanted to, so it's always good.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: Right about now A bunch of rankings, not like anything
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: can happen between here and kickoff in August, So these
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: rankings always entertain me.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just for fun. Like at this point, you're
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: looking at these because you have literally nothing else to
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: do up until the game. That's where plate I like
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: the color code everything. So I'll put together my chart.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: As y'all can see, this is your returning production Winter
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: and then Spring plus the sp plus rankings. So the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: computers say Oklahoma is the sixteenth best team in the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: country right now as constructed, which is up from twenty
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: at Winter, so we're actually trended up. The one reason
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: why I wanted to point this out and this is
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: why this is a fun conversation when it comes to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: returning production is coop. Oklahoma is ranked number ten in
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: the country overall in returning production, number eight in offense,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: number thirty in defense. Overall rank number ten, which is
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: the second actually is the third highest in the SEC,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: behind Texas, A and M and Vanderbilt. This is why
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: this is a big deal. Majority of that returning production
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: from last year, you know where it's coming from, Coupeusklahoma h.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: On offense or defense.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Specifically on offense, we're ranked number eight in the country
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: and returning production, where is majority of that coming from
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: the defensive line? There you go. So the one thing
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: that a lot of you have concerns about as an
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma Sooners fan, as you're concerned about Oklahoma because you
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: want to know what the offensive line is going to
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: look like. We're eighth in the country. We dropped a
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: little bit on the production from returning on offense, but
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: jumped a lot on defense because we added, you know,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: one defensive player that actually added some good numbers. But offense,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: we moved down one spot because of Gavin Salchuk leaving.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: He was, you know, one of the big better backs
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: but we returned, We returned the offensive line. That's where
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: all of our production is coming from. Garyan Hatchett transferred out.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: You know how many games he played last year?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: COO three one?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, he only made that one game? Did he got
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: hurt and didn't come back? He looking right? I thought
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: so too, you' the thought, No, he didn't really play.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Injuries got him.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Per Brandon drum tongue in cheek.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Tongue cheek, but no, seriously, majority of our production that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: came back offensive line. Then we brought back majority of
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver production. We lost all of our tight
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: end production basically, but we brought back majority of brought
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: back to wide receiver production. Comment Berk's Kearnye right, exactly.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: But it's funny because all the production we lost, we
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: brought in a lot more. And now the way that
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Conley does this is that you only get half credit
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: for returning production for transfers at the FCS level. So
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: you're not getting a massive jump because you got in
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: Jermichael you know, Carter Bringing and Jovannie Gibson and all
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: of those. You're not getting that that now you do
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: get to Setania Josiah Martin. But you're not getting all
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: the high end production them as you think you're you're
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: getting half on the offense, which take a game at it,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: it's pretty big. So offensive line is where Oklahoma's got it.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: But what jumped out to me the most, like Texas
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: has a lot of things to refresh, But I think
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: they're saving Grace's defense forty four. They're thirty one, ranked
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: thirty one in the thirty first in the country, turning
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: a production on defensive sixty ton of their defensive production.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: The offensive production is where it's gone. Wide receivers are
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: all gone, quarterbacks gone, running back's gone, being exeph A.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Wisner who was third in the third in the SEC
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: and rushing, but you bring him back. He wasn't supposed
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: to be a number one back, but he became number
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: one backcause everybody else got hurt and then they just
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: had I think, I think is a wingo that they
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: sat out the rest of the spring practices because he
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: got a little bit of an injury and they want
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: to make sure to preserve everybody was dealing with it
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: it happens. I mean, that's honestly keeping it a buck.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: That was why we didn't have our spring game. Was
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: that we had so many injuries last fall that they're like,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna take a chance this year. We want
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to wait, We'll give it a year. I think the
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: spring game will be back next year. Don't get it twisted.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's back next year. But Oklahoma's one of
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: the few trending. You had three teams trending down Tennessee
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: and Florida as well as Missouri and losing. Now, Missouri
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: brought back a lot of defensive production. They lost some coaches,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: but their offense. Yeah, Ohoma is a really good chance,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: really good chance of shocking college football next year. Here's
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: your sunshine pumping moment, folks, bringing back this much production
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: and a defense that only lost two big name players,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: two big name players and some solid production. Losing like
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Ethan Downs, Caden Wooler, trades four who are all really
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: good contributors, and then Hump and then Danny, and then
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: losing Danny who was your leading tackler, and then losing
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Billy Bowman, who was one of your top playmakers and tacklers.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: That hurts, but you still got the vast majority of
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: everybody else in there. And then you'll get an injured
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: Gentry Williams back who looks like he's gonna play, eli
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: Obi back, Kenda Dobia be back, who we both believe
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: was probably the one piece that the minute we lost him,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the defense hard to see a slight decline cooping my
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: wrong for believing in this team? Am I wrong for
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: sunshine pumping?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, first and foremost, when you look at this chart, well,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: what does the SEC have against the color green?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Or they really don't like have a single team in
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: the color green? Dog Like, I don't get that. That
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: is pretty wild. They don't like you Irishman for some reason.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I'll start with the offensive line for Oklahoma.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: You figured stuff out. The offensive line production. Obviously last
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: couple of games the season looked a lot better. Your
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: offensive line could not. It was not fool's gold against Alabama.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: That was what you were capable of.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think the offensive line really had much to
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: do with the LSU game and the fact that we
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: lost that one. But my confidence in this is the
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: offensive line. You didn't you didn't have week to week
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: any stability until the end of the year and early
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: in the year. You know we still even you know,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: persevered through that guys FASUSI and foj are it. They
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: are the real damn deal, legit and and they're not
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: even factored into this. And that's why I am one
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: hundred percent buying in this offensive line. Is this going
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: to be a finalist for Joe Moore?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Are they going to be a
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: very stout offensive line? Very much?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: I think that as the season goes along, the key
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: thing for Oklahoma is handle your business in this non
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: conference games and handle your business to the teams that
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to go out and do some damage with
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: and get these guys actual real playing time to where
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: they're getting in there and doing you know, what they're
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: supposed to be doing. I think the receiver production that
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: you bring in on top of my tear and our buckle,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: it just it's set up.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: I've brought it up.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: Also, you have seven new starting quarterbacks that you're going
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: to be facing with, you know, new guys, new systems,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: and I and I and I say it's different in
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma because our buckle comes with jaw Matier. With the
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: situation with an Alabama Georgia, you know, Texas is still
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: the same Ole miss You're going to be starting a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: new guy, who is the next one up Tennessee. You know,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: you lose Nico, you bring uh, you bring in in uh.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: I can't remember where he came out of. But this
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: is if you're if you're looking at a lot of
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: the pundits right now and a lot of the lines
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: makers right now, it's all trending up for Oklahoma, and
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: you're going to lean in on the fact that our
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: buckle and Mateer have the capability of keeping things going
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: as they.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Were, and.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: Everybody who's saying, but can Mattier do it in the
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: sec like is he going to put up the exact
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: same numbers that he had at Washington State last year?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But if you're saying that he is
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: going to come to.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma and all of a sudden just be a poor quarterback,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: you're fooling yourself and you're just grasping at straws because
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: you watched cam Wardon go to Miami and win the
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: damn Heisman, you know, being a Heisman conversation that is,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: and then go number one overall. That's I mean, it
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: was Miami and he put up number on number on
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: number and a lot of their losses didn't really have
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: a lot to do with cam. A lot of their
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: losses had to do with the defense. And so I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: fully believe that John Matier and our buckle and this
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: offensive line. You know, with ought coming in, you have
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: everything set up in front of you, and if the
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: offensive line just does an average job, this team gains
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: two to three wins. Now you also have the defense,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: and Jay, correct me if I'm wrong. I said at
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the season last year, I said, the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: guys behind the starters are better talented, They are more athletic,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: they are more explosive. They these are guys who weren't
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: reclamation projects that were corrected by Brent Vinnables, but recruited
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: by Lincoln Riley and Speed d Now these are Brent
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Vinables guys. These are transfers that you've brought in. Your
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: strength is going to be your defensive line. And I
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: can tell you this, If your strength is your defensive line, Jay,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: you are automatically much.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Better at defense. Then if it's not one of your strengths.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of people were about the outside.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: You know, the defensive back room is the one where
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of people say, like that needs to stay
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: healthy and I think that that is going to be
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: the key that could be the difference between winning eight
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: games and ten games for this team is how healthy
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: the defensive backs can stay. But I really don't think
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: that there's a weakness on the defense. I really don't
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: think that there are any weaknesses on the offense.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: I think there are several questions.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when I say this is going into you know,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: at this time last year, Jay, you and I both
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: you know, we reached out to our partners at at
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: US and we put our money down on not only O.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: You you know, with over and winning the conference championship.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: We did all that. Well, we saw what happened.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm saying, outside of injuries and stuff like that,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: what we saw last year, this team is going to
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: be vastly, vastly more much more improved. And you won't
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: have a team in here outside of maybe LSU that
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: you go, I know exactly what they're going to be.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: And when it comes to LSU J when they've got
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: all these expectations, they're either going to be unstoppable and
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: there's nothing we can do about it, or they're going
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: to massively flop. That is the That is the I
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: the the mo of LSU for for many many years.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: When they've got mass expectations, they are either uh, you know,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: one of the best teams in college football history or
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: massively disappointing. So I don't look at anybody in this
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: slay and go that's a team that OUs not doesn't
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: have any business being around.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: They're not a single one of them, even the Mighty Georgia.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: I think the Mighty Georgia is gonna be a fun
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: team to see next year because they've got a lot
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: of changes too. Got questions about the quarterback now. Their
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: linebacker room's gonna be deep. They're gonna be deep there.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to be really deep there. Defense should be
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: as solid as Georgia typically is. But the offense, we've
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: got questions, like, we don't know about the running back room,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: we don't know about the we don't know about wide
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: receivers right now. Offensive line should be solid as usual.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: But again, you're walking in with one of the player
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: one of the top producing quarterbacks last year in college
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: all of college football. Let me say this again, let
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: me say this for people in the back. If it
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: was that easy to do and produce the numbers that
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: JEOMETERI did in the rest of G five, somebody else
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: would have. Keep that in mind. The numbers that he
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: put up last year were some of the best in
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: all of college football.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: He's one of two guys coming into this year who
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: accounted for forty plus touchdowns one of two, one of two,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: So that means it's Jeometerier and one other dude and
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: entering this season. And we said it if your offense
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: just wasn't pathetic, I mean, it's a potential two game swing.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: Now it still is what it is, and we still
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: lost the games that we lost. Missouri still happened. That
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: the old mis collapse still happened, the South Carolina ass
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: whooping still happened. You have to learn from that. But
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: we see it with the girls right now. And we
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: got to end talking about the girls, but they're on
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: a revenge tour. Yeah, And it's the same thing with
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: ou on the football team this year.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: And I promise you.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: You've heard Gabe talk about it. You hear guys on
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: NFL Today talk about on ESPN, on NFL Channel talk
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: about it. When you have a quarterback that you believe
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: in and you know what they are, your team morale
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: is elevated. Massively and it is not Listen, I think
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: Arch Meaning is going to be a good quarterback. Dude
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: has never thrown for three thousand yards in a season,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: high school, college, anything.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: He's never clips that. Maybe in middle school, but I
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: ain't counted no middle school.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, a fair point.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: Even Arch there's that's all hope. They're hoping that he
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: will be what everybody else says.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: He's going to be.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: This team, the every single one of these players. And Tuesday, Jay,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: I don't even think you know this. We got Jacob Henry.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing an interview with Jacob Henry
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday afternoon.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: So if you're around, let me know.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: But uh, Jacob Henry, Uh, massive respect out to this dude.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: But he said, I don't not want to do an
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: interview until I've at least done something and shown out
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: and done some practice. He doesn't want to, you know,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: be interviewed by anybody. So he reached back out to
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: me out of the blue and said, let's go. And
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: so I'm going to be talking with him on Tuesday.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: But this team knows what John Materie is and there's
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: a confidence already around Jeometier that was not there last year,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: and I feel like was there with Dylan Gabriel, and
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: I feel like it was there with the last quarterbacks,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: the Jalen Hurts, the Baker, the Kylers, and I think
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: that that is going to have a lot to do
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: with this team's morale going into the season. It's not
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: what we got here, it's we know what we have
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: and we're about to show you what we have. And
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: so that's where I feel that Jay is Jeometier is
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: a guy who the numbers are there.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: The cam Ord.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: Situation helps us out tremendously, and the team's confidence in
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: him it is very, very pronounced, and so that's where
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: I that's where a lot of my confidence comes from.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: That's where mine come as well. It's we've got someone
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: that's done some production and who has helped build somebody
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: like a cam Ward up and I mean, who was
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: it our buckle as well as Kouziski was there at
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the draft with cam Ward hanging out showing
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: their support because that was their dude.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: And I promise you this sooner, Cowboys, that is the
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 3: most positive thing I've seen you say in quite a
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Are you okay? Okay? Cowboys?
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know, is maybe scared of the storms,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: and but oh, you does need to play complimentary football.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: We have moved from competitive s cawboy, you all right,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: but we've moved from that. So now you have an
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: offense and you have a defense. And you're right since
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: that defense, that defense through the.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Weekend of Bernie's offense on its back and just carried
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: its dead the whole season, except for the out of
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: body experience against Alabama.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: It absolutely did that.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: And I just I just feel you also have some
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: of the toughest games coming home coming here. Now I
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: do have Alabama. How does Kaylen de Borr do with
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: a quarterback who he can coach and proceed with like
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: he did at Washington. Jalen Milroe was not that dude,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: and we saw it in the draft, and I still
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: think he was draft a lot higher than he probably
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: should have gone, but you saw it. You're going to
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: see an Alabama team who I think is going to
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: be better than last year, but may have a same
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: record or worse because I still think that that Nick
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: Saban effects and you not wanting to be the first
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: team under Nick Saban that didn't live up to those
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: expectations now that that that benchmark is no longer there.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: Now you've got Tobor and we heard a lot of
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: craziness about that, and I know that we've talked about
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: this ad nauseum, but they're the one team that I'm
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: really really interested to see how the season turns out.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to get all excited about Alabama
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: in week one or week two. I want to see
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: what happens three or four games deep in the conference schedule.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: And that's the exact same situation that people are.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: Going to do with Oklahoma.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: It does not matter if we come out, we beat
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: the hell out of Illinois State and we take it
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: to Michigan and we go through non conference in Auburn,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: and it's going to say, what do you do against Texas?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: What do you do against oh Miss? What do you
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: do against Alabama? LSU? Those are going to be the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: big deals.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: Is Nobody's going to if this team rolls out of
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: five and oh, there's still going to be a lot
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: of people going yeah, But so you're going to need
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: to do it. And so if you are an Ou
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: fan and you're going, hey, listen, I know that two
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: games in after we beat Michigan. Everybody's going to put
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: us at the top. No, no, no, it's not going
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: to go that way, because I think the Michigan game's
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: going to get really really propped up. But then I
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: think I'm very very confidentgainst this Michigan team, very very
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: confident because their team, their offense with a what was
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: what was edwards on the front of the video game. Yes,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: their their offense was just as bad as ours last year.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the offense was awful, and I'm not going to
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: figure out they know how to do a forward pass.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: That's literally where I'm curious about is if the forward
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: pass actually works.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: There they had I mean, I'm pretty sure I'd have
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: to go back and look at the stats and so
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: you guys call me a.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Liar, but I think that they're running.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: A fair point.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Michigan still had a good running game. We didn't even
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: have a running we didn't have anything.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: We didn't have anything.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: It is going to be a game to where I
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: think that that Michigan game probably starts really really slow
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be people taking I mean, it's
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: going to be both O you and Michigan taking body blows.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that they can. I don't think
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: they can stick out with us Underwood.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: I do know that in I think it was their
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: spring game, spring practice and their scrimmage. I mean, dude
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: went like eleven for thirty six or something like that,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: and it didn't look too terrific. So Michigan does have
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: a solid defense. But they I mean they lost they
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: lost Mason Graham, they lost the the Will Johnson, you know,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: back in the back end, they lost a linebacker, they
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: lost another defensive lineman. They're always going to have a solid,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: you know, solid line, but I don't.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: Think that they have the app I don't think.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: They're going to have Yeah, I don't think that they're
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: going to have the It's gonna be a little bit
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: of a reset for them.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: And let's just be honest, like.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: We're thinking of Michigan's national championship team, and if you
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: take a ten year you know serving size there, that's
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: one year that they really really just kicked the trend
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: and overachieved. And so I'm gonna I'm gonna look at
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: the mean of it, and I'm still saying I don't
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think that Michigan's going to stand up so,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: but where I go with it is you're going to
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: need to see owe you in conference do things that
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: they didn't do last year, dictate play complimentary football. And
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: I think that once you get three or four of
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: those games in then people are gonna go, Okay, hold
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: on a second, something's going on. Back down to know
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: you again.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Yep, this same you just won't be the first time
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: you'll hear me this. I'll have a video about this
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: exact same thing probably in August as we prepare for
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: the season. But yes, I one hundred percent agree that
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: the Michigan game is the test for us. This season's
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: the litmus test for the entire year. It's gonna tell
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: us about Jeometer. It's gonna tell us if he's gonna
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: even be a viable candidate for the Heisman, or even
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: any type of conversations for top quarterbacks in the country
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: will have. That's the test. That is that game. That defense,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: regardless of the player they've lost, he's still got some
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: solid people there, really good coaching there. It's gonna tell
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: us everything. I think our defense will be just fine
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: because our defense has I mean, our defense won six
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: games last year, and I think that we know they're
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: going to do it.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: Again, and everybody's coming out. I didn't want to say it,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: but now that you guys are typing it, I mean
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: they cheated. I mean, I'm just it's plain and simple.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of cheating and that ain't there anymore.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: So I think that you look at how good our
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: defense was last year and how at the end of
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: the season it really I mean, I think that they
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: the lack of better terminology. I think that they just
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: emptied the can against Alabama. I think that they hung
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: in there. Whatever happened at LSU happened. But yeah, I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: mean the defense definitely struggled at the end of the
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: season because they did have old Bernie on his back
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: Karen too the whole season, and that's not something they're
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: going to have to do now. Is there going to
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: be a game to where here in the offense don't
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: have the success as they do in the other games
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: and the defense is gonna have to step up?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Is there going to be a game to where the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: defense doesn't do it in the offense gonna have to
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: step up?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: Sure, But I think that this year we actually have
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: the facilities to do it on both sides.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: Of the ball we do.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: We have it.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: We have that, and I think that that's gonna be.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: I think we will have the capability. So when you
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: look at the production here and looking through all of it,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be another good one, Coop, I
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna be. I think we'll be fine going
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: into it. I think Missouri's gonna be more interesting to
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: me than anybody. I'll want to see exact if their
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: defense is still gonna be any good? Uh, South Carolina
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: losing a lot of defenders. Bringing in some players, but
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: losing a lot of defenders. I mean, Dylan Stewart's gonna
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: be a problem. But how about the rest of that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: secondary who they had some good They have some good
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: players drafted this past year. It's gonna be fun Tennessee.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Look, I like Joey Aguilar. I've heard me profess that
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: I like him. Think he may actually be a better
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: fit for Hypel's system. But it won't be this year
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: to be next year because they running game as well.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Where the question is that that's a running team and
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: it ain't gonna look all that good. And oh, miss
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: I don't care what y'all say, Dob They had one
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: of the They were loaded up so much from the portal,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: biggest portal winners, top portal winners, top players, and they
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: still couldn't get it done. Keep that in mind, folks.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Some teams will go out there and do all kinds
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: of crazy ish and still fumble the bag. All right,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: final thoughts, Coop, I'm gonna give y'all a quick story
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: on kind of what happened on last Sunday, But do
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: you have any final thoughts before I wrap this up
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: into kind of a somber situation.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say nine years straight they owe you, girls.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: Have they have done something this year that I think
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of people saw the open, the open opportunity,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: and I think that it's very very I think I'm
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: very very correct saying that if you don't get them
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 3: this year, it's gonna be another four years before you
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: get another shot. Because this team is loaded with freshman
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: and sophomores. When you start from the very very beginning
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: with Gassy Pickering as a sophomore, this girl, he has
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: absolutely been unconscious. You start go to with Ella Parker again,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: a sophomore. Number three batting third is Sidney Barker, a
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: freshman batting fourth yet Gabby Garcia a freshman, Nellie McEnroe
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: Marinez another I believe freshman. You have Elena Abaiani is
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: a junior, so she will be a senior next year.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: And it is one after another, more freshman and sophomores.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: And if ou has one of these freshman girls come
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: in or they can get a transfer portal pitcher come
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: in like a Kelly Maxwell or like Sam Landry this
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: year going into this next year, this is the year
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: that people got to get them. And there are some
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: great teams in this College World Series is going to
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: be absolutely phenomenal to watch, But damn, Gabby Garcia, this
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: girl almost brings tears to my eyes because she is
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: an absolute stud. Sydney Barker's a stud. Ella Parker's a stud.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: Cassidy Pickering is a gamer. We've been to me and
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 3: me and Finley went to several of our games, you know,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: in the past couple of weeks, and she got to
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: see a Grand Slam, She's got to see multiple home runs.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: That this team is absolutely just phenomenal, and it's that
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: they're on a revenge tour and this team is continued
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: coached by I mean Patty Gasso is still there. So
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: I will say this is if you do not if
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: you do not get them this year, it's going to
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: be a minute before you can because I think this
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: team is going to be another I mean, that's why
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: we won four in a row. Is the Tiara Jennings,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: is the Elisa Brito and all these who came in
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: and just one of the best recruiting classes ever.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: And now it's back on again. And so Jay, it's
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: just going to be tough. And so yeah, there you
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: have it.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say this playing Tennessee is going to
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: be tough. It is absolutely tough because that girl throws
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: damn flames. Uh Texas and Florida. I'm really really excited
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: about that, Nodre Kennedy for Texas Tech. It's money well
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: spent by Patrick Mahomes and whoever else that might have donated.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: But this is a field that is very, very exciting,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: and these are the teams that we expected to be there,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: maybe outside of Ole Miss.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: So it starts Thursday. It's see off. As long as
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: this crap outside stays away.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: That's massive. There we go.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: That's my end, that's my end. This team, just this
