0:45
Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
0:50
My name is Curtis Wilson. I'm Brian siglo Roma, Thursday
0:55
night, buddy. Just watch, the Hokies, Hang On,
0:58
The Tight, one against VMI. Yeah, that was a lot closer than
1:07
the experts thought. Yeah man.
1:09
I mean E. Following up with a decisive win
1:19
against UCF. It's like they just came out
1:21
sleepwalking. Then height like almost into a l
1:25
almost into an L. Yeah.
1:28
Thankfully they were able to kind of get things together in
1:31
the last six minutes. Get a little bit of a lead there
1:33
and then hang on, I'll say this, as poorly as they shot, this
1:39
would have been a loss last year.
1:41
So all things considered You know, a wins a win is a win, but
1:49
a win is a win. Yeah, the players are going to
1:53
be probably get it in the locker room right now the players
1:57
because the next game is what not until next Thursday against?
2:02
I think this is yeah, this is going to be a come back out to
2:05
the court and let's run some, some gassers.
2:09
All there's going to be gassers tonight tomorrow and Saturday
2:13
the game is Tuesday. So there Going to run some
2:15
lines, boys. We're going to run some lines.
2:17
Let's pick up the lines but after the huge win, over the
2:21
weekend, ranked 16th in the country.
2:25
They've already at four wins their matching, the football
2:27
team's total. Hey, hey, but, you know, teams
2:34
looking better. Like, what you said, game like
2:37
this last year, they lose this year, they win without one of
2:43
the, you know, out without one of the Players today in all men.
2:50
Why my my blank and Dora Dora was right?
2:54
If you are without yeah, yeah. I was up.
2:57
And, you know, you take a look at, you know, the first couple
3:00
games, like, against against South Florida, you know, Daria
3:05
had 10 coming off the bench in 16 minutes and then obviously,
3:10
you know, against Villanova, you know, with that big win.
3:16
It's another, it's another thing.
3:17
He comes off the bench, you know, shot terribly, but having
3:22
somebody like that come off, the bench of Juneau can get to
3:24
double digits and provide quality minutes changes, the
3:28
roof, take James. The big thing is that you get
3:31
somebody that can take people off the dribble and score in the
3:34
paint. Yep.
3:36
But also a high quality ball handler.
3:39
Even if he's not out there shooting at a high percentage,
3:42
having a guy like that on the floor to come in for.
3:44
Idioms and things like that when we need to is going to be big
3:48
for this team, where you don't quite see, as much of that type
3:52
of drop off. Even if he's not necessarily the
3:56
shooter that that he liked to be, he's definitely the leader
4:00
on the court there and having somebody else that they can take
4:02
over some of that responsibility when BT heads to the bench is
4:06
Big, it's true. But at least tonight, Jake only
4:09
got some playing time. I mean only three points in 14
4:12
minutes but obviously, you know, I'm coming back.
4:15
Getting him into the rotation. When you don't have another guy
4:19
that's going to be there, you know, that kind of stinks
4:23
because Mi kyung is still going to have to figure out this
4:25
rotation once he has everybody healthy.
4:28
Hopefully. But again when as a win, yep
4:33
boys, don't play until next. Tuesday night will definitely be
4:35
keeping an eye on that game and talking about it next Thursday.
4:40
But Brian, let's get into some hokey headlines.
4:44
Let's It was probably the biggest football wise being a
4:48
former for Star Quarterback Elite 11 Prospect Quincy
4:52
Patterson has gone through the portal, kind of a kind of hurts
4:57
the heart. It hurts the heart, man, big
5:00
time. You know, we talked about guys
5:05
that are like Hokies in like through and through and this was
5:09
one of the guys that were talking about team player.
5:12
Waited some time here behind other other guy.
5:14
Guys to get an opportunity just never came to fruition.
5:18
Wish he would have at least been given situational packages to
5:22
really show what he could do. Ultimately, that didn't happen
5:26
and you know, we got another good one in the portal now which
5:32
is going to probably be a big topic going forward.
5:37
Especially if things happen at the coaching position or even
5:41
more. So even if things don't happen
5:43
at the, at the Appears. So it will be interesting to see
5:47
what goes forward and we're Quincy ends up Landing wish him
5:51
nothing but the best and we'll definitely keep an eye on what
5:55
he does going forward because, you know, he laid it out there
5:59
for the Hokies and I mean, everything considered will
6:02
always have that UNC gay man. Will always have the UNC game,
6:07
will always have the what if it the Notre Dame game, where a
6:10
perfect plan was laid out for him.
6:12
He executed it, flawlessly that That day.
6:16
But now it's one of those things where okay, if things are going
6:21
the way we feel, it's going which we're not going to retain.
6:24
The coach will. The next guy is he going to be a
6:28
Quincy type quarterback where he's in the portal, you're still
6:32
recruiting guys to her in the portal, but it's not get that
6:35
Twisted especially one who still has three years of Eligibility
6:39
left. So, you know, maybe that's what
6:43
maybe it doesn't. Maybe it doesn't, you know, it's
6:46
hard to tell at this point, it doesn't seem like this was a,
6:51
I've got a problem with Coach Fuente situation, it was it
6:55
seemed to be very much a I want to go somewhere where I can be
6:59
on the field. That's really the long and short
7:03
of it, I know him, I know there are programs out there that if I
7:10
walked, and I'd be their best quarterback on their rocker, and
7:13
I would start and it's hard. For him to get better if he's,
7:16
you know, fluctuating between 2nd and 3rd string on, you know,
7:20
a team that didn't have an offseason, he's not getting
7:22
enough reps to get better. No, not at all about time.
7:26
I totally get it from his perspective.
7:28
Best of luck doing if he comes back, that'd be great.
7:31
If not, definitely, wherever he goes, keep an eye on and all
7:35
right. Behind big news to drop today
7:37
was the essentially the athletic department cut where, you know,
7:42
like / Andy bitter. They're looking at this going to
7:44
help them say about 15 million to offset losses from the
7:47
pandemic. You know, anybody making over
7:50
what 115,000 or taking a 10%, cut, anybody making above 40.
7:55
It's going to be kind of a graduated scale of cuts there
7:57
are going to be Holly layoffs. But what happened today is
8:05
people are getting operational costs.
8:10
Mixed up with contract full costs, and it is a really
8:15
irritate me. It's been frustrating.
8:17
Now, I'll add a caveat to that. If you're sitting there saying,
8:24
big, donors that are chipping in for these contractual
8:27
obligations. Are willing to do that.
8:31
Maybe they should be willing to cover whatever budget shortfall
8:37
and I'm like, we still can't even go that route because you
8:42
got to separate them and I get Optics or bad.
8:44
If you say you've got to, you know, take a pay cut but we're
8:49
going to pay this guy 10 million just to walk out the door, I get
8:52
the Optics or bit but at the same time you're losing money on
8:57
this thing regardless because the law Longer.
9:00
You hang on, to coach Fuente, the fewer donor dollars are
9:03
coming in. The fewer people are showing up
9:05
to Lane Stadium, hopefully next year when Lane stadium is having
9:09
fans again. It's at some point you just got
9:14
to say Well, you're not if you're not cutting the mustard,
9:18
you got to go exactly as you're costing, whatever it costs on
9:23
the front end to get rid of them.
9:25
It's going to be cost on the backend.
9:27
Hang on to him. Exactly a financial analyst will
9:30
tell you in this situation, you've got to cut him.
9:33
You're not doing anything but hurting yourself in the three to
9:36
five-year game. Because as we have slowly
9:40
started to learn about this payout, we're slowly kind of
9:44
figuring out, kind of Through the Grapevine and people, you
9:47
know, say how these things work. This isn't a one-time till
9:52
million-dollar shot this over the course of the next four to
9:56
five years. So let's think about it like
10:00
that. And you know something that was
10:02
set on take sidelines of me and Brian agree with the 100% if you
10:07
don't fire them. And way, it looks like what
10:11
we're going to talk about playing Clemson the day.
10:12
UVA next week, this 58,000 was the average seats.
10:16
Last year, you lose five thousand people.
10:19
It's two to three million dollars in Revenue.
10:22
That right there tells you, you got to fire him for that because
10:25
you can keep him. We're your new coach.
10:29
There's always usually a bump now.
10:31
Don't get it twisted. Brian be a heck of a lot easier.
10:37
Nobody's going to Lane stadium for meeting you to cop tickets
10:39
for really cheap tickets. Not very expensive.
10:48
Oh we're saving us money honey. Don't worry.
10:51
Yeah. But won't that we're fans of the
10:54
program, we wanted to a point where we can't find tickets like
10:59
the only way you guarantee to take it is to get season
11:02
tickets. So so again contractual versus
11:12
operational or two different pools, there's everybody get
11:17
that two different pools. Do not do not try to say they're
11:25
one in the same. They're not money.
11:27
Is allocated differently. Yep.
11:30
What they're saying with the donors giving the money for the
11:32
by of there? Basically.
11:33
Saying we're giving you a clean slate here over here.
11:36
You figure it out. Now what could potentially
11:38
happen? Brian.
11:41
Is, we could go to the board of visitors in the president.
11:44
Say hey, we've got some shortfalls here.
11:48
Is there any way the university could help us out?
11:53
So what we'll see, that's an option in.
11:56
I mean, when we talk about operations budget, we talk about
11:59
the contractual terms of of our coaches here.
12:03
We've always got to look at it from a big picture perspective.
12:06
You've got to do what is right for the long-term health of your
12:11
program. And I get the crunch is happen,
12:16
but crunches are going to happen regardless.
12:18
At some point, you've got to keep moving forward and your
12:22
hope is with this is you rebound.
12:28
Quick enough for the two of lost jobs, they can get rehired.
12:33
Yeah. Who have taken significant
12:36
salary Cuts, they can get back where they were, that's what we
12:40
hope. But let's move on.
12:42
Braun actually some good. News this week, but hooky
12:45
football program. What set wins out of Salem, High
12:51
School, Jordan and James McDonald.
12:55
Commit to the Hokies program which is wins.
12:58
Basile twins. Now, they're not the most help,
13:04
guys, but physical was, I mean, you couldn't ask for him.
13:09
Two more kids coming out of high school.
13:11
I mean, j63, 218 Jordans like 64 220, you know, specimens.
13:19
Some people say and I don't know if you've had a chance to look
13:23
at their tape but you know, we have People like well they're
13:25
not dominating like they should I don't know enough about Salem
13:28
of what they're running that maybe they're not allowed to be
13:31
dominant but either way, you know we got two in the door and
13:38
you kind of Wonder. Okay, are these going to be
13:41
compatible offers potentially in two weeks?
13:45
That's the piece that's going to be interesting.
13:47
Once, whatever happens with the coach situation shakes out.
13:51
But, you know, we get, we get a flip here, two weeks before, you
13:56
know, potentially A major shift in the direction of our program
14:01
happens. You know I don't know what to
14:04
make of that. I don't know if that if that
14:07
says Jordan and Jay are going to be coming to Blacksburg as long
14:12
as they're a take regardless of who the coach is maybe you know
14:18
they figure they might as well say they're it take now before
14:21
the change happens because it's easier to You know just go ahead
14:25
and rubber stamp the fact that you have a decent class in a
14:28
transition year than it is to say.
14:30
We don't want you walking lie because I think there's still
14:34
going to be some room in the boat.
14:36
You know, once if that regime change happens because you got
14:39
to expect probably at least three to four of our more High
14:44
three guys are probably going to True change their their their
14:51
Direction. They're so, they're probably
14:53
going to be about five or six spots open for the next coaching
14:57
staff even with Jay and Jordan in the boat.
15:00
So it'll be interesting to see what, what they end up doing
15:05
with that. But I mean, I looked at them a
15:07
little bit. I mean, they're definitely big
15:09
guys. I don't think they're both of
15:11
them play Corner. One of them plays both ways at
15:13
wide receiver. So you know they've got Fascism
15:18
for their size. I think they'd project more
15:20
probably, you know, Rover or or even in some cases backer okay
15:28
versus cornerback that they played in high school.
15:31
But yeah, I mean, I could see them them being used.
15:34
They definitely have seeing them play Corner.
15:36
They've definitely got enough speed at that size to be a j,
15:42
Hamm system style linebacker. Compared to some of the guys
15:47
that we have on the Oster right now.
15:48
So there's some you know, promise there but in terms of
15:52
that it's very much a there to kind of project players but I
15:57
think with the with the year to kind of getting their bodies,
16:02
right? Not size-wise but just defining
16:06
it in learning how to play with that size better.
16:09
I think they will. The potentially Make Some Noise?
16:13
I'll say one thing about if there is the regime change as we
16:17
Feel in the air. It's going to happen.
16:20
If your new coaching you walk in, just hold on.
16:23
A you have. And why I say that is you sell
16:27
to the kids that list obviously being recruited at a high level?
16:31
You have a lot of offers, you think about this, we start
16:35
getting into it this time. Next year, you don't feel like
16:39
it's working out. You know what you can do
16:41
transfer portal, go wherever you need to go.
16:44
We can't hold him back w point. So yeah, now we're on something
16:49
real quick before we couple real quick things before we get into
16:53
what we're doing. Wait ACC football week or this
16:58
week has said not as enough Notre Dame your ampionship
17:02
cornfield. If you needed me to take that at
17:04
a year in the championship. If you lose, you gotta play next
17:07
week. Miami, you've got to win
17:08
back-to-back weeks. I'm fine with it.
17:12
You don't know why. What's up?
17:15
It goes like we think it's going to go.
17:17
Virginia Tech going to be a lot more money for those groupings
17:20
being in the playoffs because Notre Dame won't.
17:22
Yeah it is true man. It is very true and I'm fine
17:28
with it as well. Be ACC is making a good play SEC
17:32
bitching about it which is funny.
17:36
It's like y'all are playing the same number games.
17:39
Yeah. Kind of screwing them for what
17:54
the SEC did the ACC. Hey, 10 games, our goal is to
17:57
keep our rivalries and there's these like now we're just
17:59
completing conference, we're cool.
18:02
They're about to get ran because I think we both see probably
18:07
what could happen a couple weeks from now in the ACC Championship
18:10
game. One last thing, Brian both.
18:13
The near and dear to both of our hearts Hardy would the fighting
18:19
Hokies logger. The fighting Hokies logger, man.
18:24
I am. I'm pretty pumped about this.
18:26
Looks like it's supposed to come out sometime in the spring of
18:28
21. Yeah, I will be copying me.
18:32
Several six-packs initially, 100%.
18:37
What do you, what do you think of the, the can design all of
18:40
them can designs. So the old school.
18:42
Yeah it's the 1980s fighting hook.
18:44
You Birdman find gobblers. It's an awesome can design.
18:48
It's awesome that essentially Virginia Tech's.
18:52
HR department is essentially creating what it's going to
18:56
taste, like what's going to brew it here and let's hope a wet if
19:02
you're listening. This is what should only be sold
19:07
inside Lane stadium inside inside ins IDE.
19:14
Yeah, it's a simple fact of be, you're helping a, you're
19:21
helping, not only your school because they designed it, you're
19:24
helping a state, you know, business that, you know, one of
19:30
the more one of the better rain here and it's here in our VA.
19:34
Make that and you're helping your Stadium bottom line after
19:37
having to cut budgets because beer has a higher margin.
19:44
Then other things that you sell in your concessions.
19:47
Damn hard. All right, folks, we've gotten
19:52
here for the fourth nine weeks of the Season, we have done, no,
19:59
the enemy? Well, me and mr.
20:01
Siegel, oh, we were talking last week after We recorded and me
20:05
and him just said Brian, if anybody doesn't know the enemy
20:08
of Clemson, they're really not paying attention to any
20:11
Collegiate football. Yep.
20:13
At this point. You know who these guys are,
20:17
you've seen them play, you seen them play in prime time, you
20:23
know, their coaching staff, you know, their key players, you
20:27
know what type of system generally that they run, you
20:31
know what to look for. So we're not going to to
20:34
patronize you and break down a team that you probably have at
20:38
least a working grasp on what they're going to do and how
20:41
they're going to do it. Yeah, so what we were sitting
20:44
here we're just we're hitting around a few ideas like how can
20:47
we do this? And we kind of stumbled upon.
20:51
I want to say stumble but I kind of said, hey Brian, if we win
20:56
this game What's the score going to be in?
20:59
Brian told me what he thought. Here's what we've got to.
21:01
Here's the school, we got to have to win.
21:04
And I'm kind of threw back to Brown.
21:05
I said, Brian, let's reverse engineer this bad boy.
21:09
Let's start with the final score.
21:11
Let's go down. Fourth quarter, third quarter
21:14
2nd quarter, 1st quarter, essentially paint the picture.
21:19
While giving some analysis, giving some breakdown of what
21:22
has to happen to pull the upset as now, I think it's 22 and a
21:28
half, is the lines of moved up and overthrow over three score
21:35
line here. Biggest line since with 91-92
21:40
Nottingham steam thrown around there.
21:42
So Florida, State biggest line in Lane Stadium since 88 West.
21:49
Nia or 89 West Virginia, which I think that's the year.
21:52
They upset West Virginia was like Tiffany country and they
21:55
upset them that here. I'd have to go back one of those
21:59
years would major can't remember last last name West Virginia was
22:03
a quarterback. I was a pup but you study the
22:06
history so that's what we're going to do.
22:09
So Brian drumroll please after me and you sitting here going
22:14
back and forth for about 10 minutes.
22:17
Will repeat Echo keys to win, Saturday night, 30 degrees.
22:21
It's going to be cold but I still think this number holds
22:24
true. We believe it has to be 4441,
22:32
Virginia Tech. All right again, folks, this is
22:37
the perfect game. This is not a prediction.
22:39
Yes, this is. If we want to win this football
22:43
game, what's the likely final score?
22:47
And that's where do I think it's?
22:49
I think, in order for us to win this game, it's going to be a
22:51
tight, 4441 Victory, by the Hokies.
22:56
All right, so let's start the fourth quarter.
22:59
Again, this is reverse engineering, because we've got a
23:01
back into, we're kind of starting at the finished product
23:05
and how we get there. The first thing, me and Brian
23:07
talked about. Okay, Brian.
23:09
If we're going to the fourth quarter, we have to have A six
23:13
or seven point lead. So going into 4th, we're sitting
23:16
here, going back and forth. We feel like it's got to be 3731
23:22
going into the fourth quarter. Yep.
23:24
Start of the fourth quarter were up a touchdown.
23:26
We'll just let just under touchdown six-point lead, 3731,
23:33
you know, that, that feels That's about as close as I feel
23:38
like we could get there. I think the fourth quarter is
23:41
going to be relatively low. Scoring us trying to hang on and
23:46
that point and Clemson trying to knock us out late.
23:52
He's got thrown, they're trying to throw some Haymakers while
23:55
we're trying to have some long positions.
23:57
Yeah. Couple things we we hit on and
24:02
what we feel, like if we've got that lead and we've got that six
24:04
seven point lead to win the fourth quarter, five possessions
24:10
if we start creeping in the six seven and eight they will
24:13
overtake us. Yep.
24:15
At that point you know the the Trevor Lawrence has and the
24:20
Travis ET ends of the world are going to let their talent take
24:23
over and it could be ugly. We need To limit the number of
24:31
possessions in that quarter, only give them a few chances to
24:34
score two at the most. We also feel like to win this
24:39
quarter, we need to have at least 15 minute plus drive.
24:43
We need to, at least eat a third whether this results touchdown,
24:49
fourth down, we give it back to him, but we're deep or we Pooch
24:53
punt. We've got to have at least one
24:56
time, eating Drive nebran, couple big things.
25:01
You talked about to me was Personnel groupings in this last
25:04
quarter. What you want to see what you
25:06
feel? Like we have to see to win this
25:07
game. Yeah, I think in the fourth
25:11
quarter you're going to see a lot of 11 and 12 Personnel.
25:14
I think we're going to lean on the running game some but we're
25:17
still going to try to get that intermediate passing game going
25:20
to move those sticks a little bit because we're going to need
25:23
to sustained drives keep Clemson off the field and eat as much
25:28
clock as possible. Now, the other piece was we
25:32
can't have any turnovers with the one-point lead again with
25:35
their offense. This has got to be a quarter
25:37
where we have to play protection of the football.
25:43
And then there's the other piece that this is also a quarter.
25:47
As you guys are going to see. This is a quarter, we can't give
25:50
up junk please. No, you know you want to About
25:55
getting 25, keeping it at five possessions, if they give chunk,
25:57
play 40 50 yards, flipped field, get a touchdown that would fall
26:02
apart this quarter perfectly Brian.
26:06
What's the one thing? We've not been good at that.
26:08
You feel if in the third fourth quarter, we can do we have a
26:12
chance to hang on. If we can convert on third down,
26:16
we have a chance here in the fourth quarter, to close it out,
26:20
and we haven't done it well all season, and we definitely I'm
26:24
not done it well recently, but if we can do that, that gives
26:30
our offense more time on the field keeps their offense off
26:33
the field and gives our defense a chance to rest to be able to
26:38
go out there when when Clemson's offense does take the field back
26:42
and you know have enough energy to slow them down.
26:45
So yeah. All feeds off there and I think
26:48
also I mean just to kind of put a put a bow on this, this
26:52
quarter are Defense. Probably needs to force one.
26:55
Turnover. Yep, it's true.
27:00
If you if we if we force the turnover again after a long
27:03
drive. Again, if y'all listen we're
27:07
about to give you hear what we gave you the final score.
27:10
We're anticipating them scoring several times in this quarter.
27:15
But if you get the turnover involved in there.
27:18
Yep. That's they get three
27:20
possessions. You get a field goal of
27:22
touchdown in the turnover as long as you score once in there.
27:25
You're golden exactly. All right, so there's your
27:30
fourth quarter, if it's perfect. Now, let's go to the third
27:34
quarter, and again we're starting beginning of the
27:39
quarter with the score is getting into it.
27:44
Brian. Go ahead and give the t's first.
27:47
Yeah. All right.
27:49
So we need to be kicking off to start the third quarter because
27:54
we need to take the damn ball to start the game.
27:57
So that's I'm teasing that we need to be aggressive with our
28:00
decisions in this game. Both from a coaching perspective
28:04
and a play-calling perspective. So we need, we need to take the
28:08
ball. And so if we took the ball to
28:10
start the game, that means we should be kicking off to start
28:12
third quarter and We said, we thought.
28:16
You know, 2417 to start the third quarter sounds about,
28:20
right? Yep 2417 Again, we're having to
28:26
hold the lead any point in time. In this game, this cannot be
28:31
2016 in the ACC Championship. We're not that kind of team with
28:37
the kind of players or the kind of defense that can hold.
28:41
You know the downhill stuff. So you know if you tell us where
28:48
we went down, early a lot then the perfect games out of the
28:50
way, so we can't do it. But if we can get the lead, it's
28:53
big now on this one, there is couple things we're going to hit
29:01
on first. This is where it kind of begins.
29:05
This is the quarter where the defense has to start.
29:08
Really kind of more tightening up.
29:12
One play a 40 or more yards. We've already said in the fourth
29:16
quarter, give up any this quarter you can't give up but
29:19
one now the other piece is you're going to see what we're
29:26
talking about in the first half, we have to get a little less
29:28
aggressive on defense, start playing off again with the lead.
29:33
But the clock be their enemy. Yep.
29:36
We've already, we've already kind of outlined here.
29:38
We're anticipating them. Scoring 2 times 14 points in
29:42
this quarter. The thing is make them work
29:45
towards that make them work towards that.
29:48
We've also shown at this point, both teams are scoring on
29:51
offense, as long as we can not have those killer drives or we
29:55
don't, you know, match to them. I think we're going to be okay
29:59
there. I think all fensively we're
30:02
going to need to get Blackshear involved in the passing game in
30:07
the set. I mean in that means from the
30:09
slot position or from the wing position, not As a spell back, I
30:17
think at this point Blackshear is capable in that role but he
30:21
is not that should not be as defined role in this offense.
30:25
I think Holston does a better job as a true spell back to
30:29
Khalil Herbert. I think Blackshear is more of a
30:31
true Gadget, Swiss army, knife offensive weapon.
30:36
We haven't been using him as such this entire season.
30:39
Pretty much. We need to begin right now if
30:43
Buddy has any plays that can get this man, the football and
30:47
space, they need to throw them at Clemson.
30:51
Tommy Clemson, put them on the spreadsheet, in a lot of places
30:56
those when we put it in the third quarter, also in this
31:08
quarter Brian's calling for a lot of 11 personnel.
31:11
So we're going to see very little of Gallow.
31:14
I want Blackshear and Herbert or Holston on the field.
31:18
Every type of time essentially Blackshear needs to be out there
31:21
along with whatever other wide receiver grouping along with
31:25
Mitchell. now, something else we sort of felt on this quarter is
31:33
this is probably going to be the quarter where because you played
31:37
the well, the first two quarters, you can handle an
31:40
onslaught We feel like this is where if they were to come out
31:45
and go bang, bang, Take the Lead, we cook a couple field
31:47
goals, it's not out the mindset, we're with them, we're taking
31:52
their best punches, and one of those momentum swinging things.
31:56
We feel that really needs to happen is Sometime Late in the
32:00
third quarter. Retake the lead taking a couple
32:06
pay makers to the face and got a knockdown take getting back the
32:11
lead late in this quarter and essentially them starting the
32:16
ball going into the fourth quarter.
32:18
Yes, actually it's saying we've had the lead because of how we
32:22
jumped out on you. You were able to counter punch a
32:25
little bit and we've shown that we're not backing down.
32:29
We're right back at it and that's that's the tone we want
32:33
to set moving from third back into the forest so that I feel
32:35
like that's what that's what we need to close out.
32:38
The third would be a touchdown to retake the lead heading into
32:40
the fourth quarter. Absolutely alright.
32:43
So back up again, let's get into the second quarter now some
32:49
people listening to this are probably like what were you guys
32:53
on when y'all came up with this concept?
32:55
Ha ha ha. This is why it's a lot of fun
33:12
because there's things were looking at to say this, is how
33:15
we get here and you got a awkward.
33:17
So second quarter, this is the one where we kind of argued a
33:21
little bit and we kind of said this if we can go into the
33:26
second quarter with a 14-7, Like if we can hold Mighty Clemson to
33:31
one touchdown in the first quarter.
33:34
It's going to be really big. Now we are unrealistic, but this
33:40
is going to be a quarter, five, six, maybe even seven
33:42
possessions because obviously we've already told y'all.
33:47
We're at 24 Barrett 17. So we're seeing a couple
33:51
possessions where we feel like can be scored in here.
33:53
And guys what we're trying to talk about here with the
33:56
possessions is that to win this game, even with the high scoring
34:00
Affair, we kind of have it as we still need to limit the
34:04
Possessions, the more possessions in this game, the
34:06
worse, it will be for us much worse.
34:09
It'll be for us. They have the kind of offense
34:12
that the more chances you get them.
34:15
The more like that's why we're kind of harping on this.
34:20
Now, we've talked about chunk please, right?
34:24
Yeah, I've heard is that can't have any in the fourth, can give
34:27
up a minimum. Me and Brian's.
34:30
This is the one, this is the quarter.
34:31
We're expecting, you can give up three or more big plays, but you
34:40
can't let all you can't. Let three go for a touchdown.
34:44
You got to let them go deep but you got to stop them.
34:48
Yeah, I mean you got to let him go D but only one of those big
34:51
chunk plays can go for a touchdown, otherwise you need to
34:55
stop them where they kick a field goal to get their 10
34:57
points for the quarter or force a turnover or a punt on those
35:02
other professionals. We know it stops.
35:18
You look that we need to open up a couple of things.
35:22
Yeah, I think we for our offense I'd like to see us run a lot of
35:25
our Po and screen in this quarter.
35:30
I'd like to see anything that's not a screen pass.
35:34
Be targeting. Kind of the 15 to 20 yard range.
35:38
Maybe even more than that. Stretching their defense a
35:41
little bit. I'd like to see some Fades and
35:44
post, some seems push the ball. If you push the ball with, this
35:48
should be the push, the ball period, and because we're
35:51
running it with our po. That should slow down the rush a
35:54
little bit and it should also help the running game.
35:58
You get some fits there because they're having to think about
36:01
the run in the past, on each play there.
36:04
So, that's what I would do in an attack standpoint there
36:08
defensively. I think this is where you, you
36:11
Blitz, heavy. You make Trevor Lawrence have to
36:13
think faster than he wants to or take a sack.
36:18
Absolutely. We're if you'll notice we talked
36:21
about in the first in the latter half of the game.
36:25
It's almost like we're not going to be as aggressive.
36:28
Here's where we need to be aggressive because if we have
36:31
that lead it's essentially what Brian just said, make them have
36:35
to speed up their decision-making.
36:38
And you know what? We've already kind of accounted
36:40
for. We're going to get deep deep
36:42
this quarter, but at least what you can hopefully do is you get
36:46
a sack they're 30. Five-yard gain.
36:48
Well, you know what? It was second and 16 because we
36:51
had a huge sack, they did not gain big game but not as much as
36:56
it could be. Now something else Brian and I'm
37:00
going to kind of reference to you on this.
37:03
You kind of mentioned. If we can get in this quarter
37:06
with a lead about managing our emotions.
37:08
What do you mean by that? Elaborate a little more.
37:13
So there's a difference between that momentum And in a field
37:18
where you're playing over your skis a little bit.
37:23
Yeah, I've been in games where you jump out to a big lead and a
37:28
lot of things, go your way and you take your eye off the ball.
37:31
And all of a sudden things are not so pretty anymore.
37:35
We've seen some of those gains from the Hokies.
37:38
I mean we help. Let's think about even last
37:41
year. I mean the Miami game.
37:42
That's one. Where who?
37:45
Yeah, we let a team that had the ability Ability to get back,
37:49
crawl back in a game that we should have put away a lot
37:52
sooner because we let we did manage our emotions very well.
37:57
Danny like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:02
You got to be able to manage your emotions.
38:04
So in this case, what I mean is that You've taken some Haymakers
38:09
from from Clemson but you're on defense to close the have
38:14
they've got the ball, don't give them a lead going into halftime
38:20
phone. Do something dumb third down.
38:22
Make this stop, don't throw a late, hit, you know, if the guys
38:27
beating you by all means, in some cases.
38:31
Let it, let it. Let him show.
38:33
You can beat you don't just get, right?
38:35
Give the passing of Courage because your In the drive,
38:38
you're giving them more time. All right, so we finally backed
38:43
it all the way up to the first quarter.
38:46
All the way up to the first quarter.
38:49
Ryan has alluded to it and I have a feeling Brian.
38:55
If we don't do this in the first quarter, actually even before
39:01
the quarter begins you, that hand, you got in your hand that
39:05
Hamm's beer, you have in your hand.
39:07
I hope you're nowhere near your TV.
39:11
Yeah, we better take the damn ball if we win the toss, if we
39:14
don't, I will go ahead and save the game.
39:16
Is over at that moment. The perfect game plan is already
39:21
out of the window. Yep, which one paid?
39:23
We're going to the second half. You're going to give that the
39:27
ball. First that?
39:31
No, guys, we don't want this momentum.
39:33
You have it. We are we have nothing to do
39:37
with this. Alright so next piece in the
39:41
first half is similar to our fourth quarter, but for a
39:44
different reason, Who We Are? As a team is, we are still a
39:50
ground and pound tight team. We have a very good offensive
39:54
line, it'll probably be the second-best that Clemson a scene
39:58
off. You may be the best, you can
40:00
argue between us and Notre. Dame, both are very highly rated
40:03
and PFF but this possession quarter is got to be about five,
40:07
it's got to be a low possession quarter, what Brian has already
40:11
stated take the ball? Long drive long.
40:16
Let me get a 12 13, play drive here, give me a lot of runs.
40:20
Give me some intermediate passes.
40:22
Give me 12 Personnel. We haven't talked about that a
40:25
lot lately. I've been thinking more 11 as we
40:28
go along here. Spreading them out a little bit
40:31
but out the gate I'd like to see some 12 using the Run game, the
40:35
intermediate passing game, some of those tight in Throwbacks and
40:38
stuff like that to get, get some plays and get us some first
40:41
downs. Some stick moving plays.
40:44
You know, we're at the point where we want to make the drive
40:49
long and get seven points. Don't settle for 3 at this
40:53
point. So close.
40:55
So what Brian's also saying is if we're inside the 30, third
41:00
and six, You better be a to play, thought you're not going
41:05
to beat them with field goals all night.
41:07
Do I have to run the, if you run QB power on third down, you
41:11
better be prepared to run on fourth down as well.
41:14
We're buying them or do something on fourth down.
41:16
You better go for it. But I'll go run, third down,
41:19
power on third long, and not go for it on Fourth.
41:23
And then, well, I will, I will throw things at the television.
41:26
I have no qualms, well, We have to in some way, slow them down,
41:39
whether it be turnover, forcing a punt turnover on Downs, their
41:44
first drive, cannot result in points.
41:48
I think I'll feel is if their first drive, you know goes into
41:52
points. If the first drive goes into
41:55
points in the next two they get nothing.
41:57
Okay, I can deal with that. We can live with it but we're
42:00
saying yeah I wouldn't take it to score lead.
42:02
I want to be up, 14, nothing on them, and make them have to do
42:05
something. Different is.
42:08
Then we, then we're dictating terms, we're making them, have
42:11
to come up with stuff on the Fly and as much as some stuff on the
42:16
Fly, you haven't practiced it. Neither of they.
42:19
So, Yep, there we have it. Now if Brian mentioned is, we
42:26
need to see juice Herbert early, get to 20 plus charred gains on
42:31
outside Zone plays again, establishing.
42:33
The run is kind of what we flip, what we want to do in the second
42:36
quarter as we will always want to do in the third quarter.
42:41
But then Brian, what we kind of said in the second quarter when
42:46
we were when we were reverse doing this, you said it has to
42:48
come out like this with the defense.
42:50
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I want to see them
42:52
aggressive. I mean, I want to see them
42:55
blitzing. I want to see them playing a
42:57
little bit more man outside, and just kind of saying we're not
43:02
going to let you run the ball with etn all day Trevor.
43:05
You're going to have to take a couple shots and you're going
43:07
to, you're going to have to hit them, make them hit him.
43:10
Don't don't let this be a death by a thousand little paper cuts.
43:14
Because I mean, they will carve us up with six and eight yard
43:18
runs and eight to 12 yard pass. Is all day.
43:21
Don't let that happen. That's not a game.
43:24
I want to see that's a game that I will just be frustrated from
43:29
start to finish if I'm seeing that on the defense all day.
43:32
So, you know, I know we're playing a different style now,
43:36
but we need some aggression against this team, because they
43:39
will carve you up. They have all the talent in the
43:42
world. They have the best quarterback
43:44
in the country. They have the best running back
43:46
in the country. They have a very good offensive
43:48
line between Rogers and Powell and other weapons.
43:55
They can do it all. Yep.
43:57
So, you know, the other last piece is we expect probably a
44:03
chunk play a couple chunk plays in this quarter, but only one
44:09
can go deep for a touchdown. If multiple, if you got within
44:12
the first quarter, they pop a 50-yard run.
44:15
In a 50-yarder pass, slow the drinking down because by the end
44:20
of the game will be really angry because they going to get
44:23
pretty. So that's our reverse
44:26
engineering. For the Hokies to win. 4441 we
44:31
just laid out from the fourth quarter back down to the first,
44:33
what has to happen? There are times we need to be
44:36
aggressive. There are times we need to be
44:39
You know, sort of passive on defense and the same with
44:42
offense. It's got to be a mixture.
44:45
I feel like we need to be aggressive early in a little
44:47
more Bend. Don't break late because as the
44:50
game goes along, we can afford field goals.
44:53
We can't afford touched it. Absolutely.
44:55
Alright so after all that brawn, Let's go to our predictions.
45:00
Before we talk about who gets to 25.
45:06
As much as I want to see a perfect game plan right now.
45:11
With the way, the coaching staff is having some guys opt out.
45:16
I just can't, I can't see it. I think will be competitive.
45:21
I don't think we'll get our doors blown off.
45:23
I don't think, you know, it's going to be 35 3 at halftime, I
45:28
think they probably get up a couple scores early and they
45:33
Maintain that 20. I would say lay the points
45:40
because I feel like this is a 21-point game, but at 22 and a
45:45
half, that's where it's getting sketchy because my prediction is
45:48
I'm going to say, Clemson goes 45.
45:52
Virginia Tech goes 20, yoga your about in the same range.
45:59
I am. I've got Clemson 45, Virginia
46:08
Tech, 21. All right.
46:15
But I also see Clemson, probably the fourth quarter is probably
46:20
going to be where they get. I think they'll probably get 14
46:23
points. I think it'll probably be
46:25
something where like it'll be like 31:17 somewhere in that
46:30
neighborhood to score game and then eventually we run out of
46:33
gas. Brad doesn't know how to call
46:36
any decent place to help the team out.
46:38
He's just running into a wall of, you know, nine guys.
46:43
He's in the box or he's trying to take deep shots downfield for
46:48
no apparent reason. Somebody needs to tell Brad that
46:54
just because you gain an extra blocker with QB power.
46:57
If they're already stacking the box that doesn't help you.
47:01
Well no because it's still if they're stacking them, ate it.
47:04
Eight to eight, which means hidden has to find the hole.
47:08
And people getting off blocks. It's not good.
47:11
And that's not even counting safety feels.
47:15
Hey, they can just screw those up a bunch this week Dax getting
47:21
the 25 I'm no issue with that. I was hoping to see somebody
47:27
like working this week. Get it.
47:28
But you know, Beck's playbacks has played well over the last
47:32
few weeks. So the X has played his best
47:35
football is as we've gotten worse, and Alfalfa think there's
47:42
a correlation there. I'm just, you know, there's the,
47:45
you know, just because that's happened, doesn't mean that
47:48
that's the cause, but Dax has played pretty well as we've been
47:53
more in Insistent on both sides of the football, the last few
47:57
weeks. So cool.
47:59
The decks guided, I don't know what that, what that really
48:02
means in terms of his play or looking forward, but yeah, yeah,
48:09
I definitely think he as much as anybody on the defense the last
48:13
few weeks, probably deserves to get it.
48:15
So yeah. All right, well now let's go to
48:18
our picks against the spread. We're going to do for ACC games
48:23
and Are going to do for out of conference games with a little
48:26
bit of a quick. So Brian, let's start with the
48:31
biggest line. We're looking at this week
48:34
Syracuse versus the Notre, Dame Fighting Irish of Notre.
48:38
Dame is Lane 33 and a half points right now for lead since
48:46
I sort of got it up with watching the game, you led with
48:49
our predictions. So I'll leave with the first of
48:52
the spread. Games here.
48:56
Give me the Irish man. Okay, I still can't trust
49:00
Syracuse and I know the Notre Dame's.
49:04
Either been World beaters or it's been closed.
49:09
At least closer than they wanted to be.
49:11
But I think this is one where Notre Dame is focused, kind of
49:17
looking forward here. So I'll take the Irish will take
49:22
the Irish laying 33 and a half point I'm going completely
49:26
against you. I think after the NL with this
49:29
week of that they're in the ACC Championship, we said we good
49:36
they're gonna win by like 27. I'm going to be flirting going
49:41
with 33 and a half, but I think eventually they'll take it off
49:44
because it's going to eventually get to a point where that game
49:46
is going to be 35 735 10 and Brian Kelly have to sit there
49:52
and say We have to play Clemson again with Flakes and some
49:57
rubber, I need everybody as healthy as possible.
50:00
I'm going to put in a bunch of backups and you know what?
50:03
If the backups beat me? Braun the backups, beat me.
50:06
Give me Syracuse, give me the 33 and a half points.
50:12
Yeah I think it's going to be 35 and for the starters come out so
50:15
that's all we need. You might be right, but I'm
50:22
gonna solve a conservative game. Next game, PC UVA, UVA is laying
50:29
four and a half points. Maybe a, the last few weeks has
50:35
been good to me when I've taken them, I'm trying to figure out
50:40
why they're getting four and a half points.
50:42
I know, BC doesn't have the best defense, but the Wahoo's on the
50:49
world being offense, the Wahoo's defense is hurting more and
50:52
more. They're back in was already
50:53
struggling Snowden goes out Briggs transfers.
50:58
Now their pass rush is significantly less.
51:02
So, somebody tell me why BC is getting points.
51:05
I think BC outright wins this game.
51:09
Give me basic. Hear hear PC?
51:14
That's a no. I just like UBC better than UVA
51:17
man. I think they're a better
51:20
football team. They have a little bit more
51:23
balance. The only thing they don't have
51:24
is a running game, UVA has been so inconsistent and now they're
51:30
starting to see the injury / transfer bug, hit their defense
51:36
and that's the one thing that was kind of holding everything
51:39
together up to this point. So I'm going to take d.c. all
51:44
right. Hey Brian.
51:48
It's your favorite team. Next Georgia Tech in Sea State n
51:51
c-- state level in seven points. What are you doing?
51:54
NC State. Just because it's Georgia Tech.
52:00
I can't pick my Georgia Tech, the rest of the way.
52:02
It's been ordained. They have screwed bronze.
52:06
So many times in so many different ways, Italian.
52:09
Funny, I'm with you in peace date, Georgia Tech while he
52:13
played their best game of the year last week against jute.
52:16
Where NC State that was probably maybe there.
52:21
S worst game of the year with the win over Syracuse.
52:25
I would say there are other worst game of the year of
52:26
Crawley against us so With the only NC State.
52:32
All right. Duke.
52:33
My ma Miami Lane 15. I'm going to get my in here
52:40
because it's okay. What the ACC did this week is
52:43
kind of crapped all over them, like Clemson's, not going to
52:47
lose this game so you guys can go over there.
52:51
They're going to get a good Bowl.
52:53
They're probably going to get either the Orange Bowl in their
52:56
Hometown. Potentially the Peach Bowl.
53:00
Yep. We get some extra money because
53:02
they're going to wind up you know, 18 19 and 14 the year and
53:08
I think they're just going to put the beat down on you just
53:11
take out some aggression. Yeah I mean I feel like as we're
53:16
kind of winding down here, you got Miami.
53:19
That is essentially the looking at being the best.
53:24
Non Clemson Notre Dame Squad in the conference.
53:29
Well, what's up? Where we hoped we'd be.
53:34
Yes, exactly. And you've got do that really
53:38
isn't playing for much at this point.
53:39
So you know I kind of like Miami to go ahead and finish the job.
53:44
They've started here and you know walk walk into one of the
53:50
more favorable bowl games that still being played yes sir.
53:54
All right, Brian I told you had some interesting stuff with the
53:59
other games. We're going to pick the right
54:01
nip High. Let's do this one.
54:06
Billy Napier and usually the universal louisiana-lafayette
54:10
taking on appstate appstate Lane 3.
54:13
Napier is a guy. We have learnt in as a potential
54:16
replacement and Napier's lost one game this year.
54:22
We lose two games like here at what you want to roll.
54:27
But going into bun, it's going to be cold.
54:31
I'm not sure how the snow looks down there.
54:33
I'm not sure what time this game is.
54:36
But AB state land through, will you think?
54:41
Man, like you said, call him butter, he's been on a roll.
54:44
So I'm going to take the Ragin Cajuns All right.
54:51
Well, I'm going to go against them because he's interviewing
54:56
Saturday and if he's in or he's going to be doing over the
54:59
weekend, I think the focus isn't going to be there.
55:01
I think it's probably going to be a good game.
55:03
I think they lose about touchdown because of the way the
55:06
weather is looking down in Boone and kind of on the east coast in
55:11
general is going to be cold. It's going to be yucky.
55:13
Give me appstate knowing that knowing that could have against
55:16
Billy. If you tell me Billy and
55:18
two-week time as our head coach, I would be happy.
55:21
I think he's done a hell of a job.
55:22
Down it. Um, UL Lafayette with the Raging
55:26
Cajuns. I think his footprint fence here
55:30
and yeah. Yeah, I mean my only beef with
55:36
with Napier's at it would be a similar higher to to Flint a but
55:40
I mean other than that he's got, he's got a more Regional
55:44
footprint already than went a head coming in to a point.
55:49
So for but, when they had worked for Gary Patterson, essentially,
55:54
it's furry. Napier's work for Dabo early on
55:59
yet fired by Debo. Then he went to work for saving.
56:03
There's your biggest differences.
56:04
He's been around essentially. The two guys who have lost.
56:06
Decade has dominated the sport. Yes I think I'll go there.
56:11
He's been more adjacent to Greatness exactly next one.
56:18
Let's go down Coastal BYU. Jim Chadwell enough.
56:24
We've mentioned as a potential. New head coach BYU traveling.
56:30
Cross-country just figuring. They're gonna play this game a
56:32
couple days ago. Is a 10-point favorite down at
56:36
kostal. So Brian.
56:40
Do you believe in the Cougars and mr.
56:42
Wilson, or do you believe Short time, for fair cross-country
56:48
travel, that they're not going to do it or they're going to do
56:52
it. But tens way too much delay.
56:56
Tens, definitely too much delay for me.
56:58
All things considered I could see Coastal even winning this
57:02
one out. Right.
57:03
I'm not sure how good BYU is based on who they played and
57:08
some other factors, combine that with all this short-term stuff,
57:12
and cross-country travel, that's definitely should be Coastal As
57:16
to, to take their, I can see be why you pulling it out but I
57:20
don't like 10. All right, I'm with you.
57:24
I don't like the 10 number. I think the 10 numbers way too
57:26
big, I think coastal zone a very good team.
57:29
I think Chad Wills in a very good position and I'm going to
57:33
say something if Chadwell wins this game.
57:39
The South Carolina hold off on making their higher for a couple
57:41
more weeks. I think that all depends on how
57:45
well that Napier interview goes over the weekend.
57:50
I do think Ted Wells moving up somewhere, you know, within the
57:55
next year if he stays at kostal after this offseason, they have
57:58
another good season Chad Wills as good as gone, you know, you
58:03
kind of start looking around. Can you ever wonder?
58:07
Could it be Duke? Could it be an SEC program?
58:12
But I don't think he's going to be there too much longer.
58:15
I could go, Ron, let's go to the central Edie.
58:18
Best game of the weekend. Indiana, Wisconsin.
58:24
Wisconsin is lame. 14 and a half.
58:27
I'm still trying to figure out why they're laying 14 and a
58:30
half. Indiana went to the horseshoe.
58:35
Fought back valiantly against the Buckeyes.
58:38
Be done by seven. Wisconsin still.
58:41
You know, they scored seven points, one Northwestern
58:44
Northwestern loses the Michigan State here.
58:46
A couple last weekend Wisconsin, maybe they're getting out of
58:51
their covid Funk but 14 halfway Indiana's playing, you know hold
58:57
on wait a second. Wait a second just seeing
59:00
something here. I didn't know about.
59:03
Wait a minute. Brian.
59:04
Sorry live on air guys. Ever changing, ah, take that
59:11
back. Give me Wisconsin Phoenix.
59:13
Tore his ACL Indiana has no shot in this game.
59:20
I'll take the same, man. Give me a, give me a double shot
59:26
knowing that whiskey, that was three days ago.
59:30
I'm glad I'll look that up because that was really funky.
59:33
When you see how the team this good getting 14 and a half
59:37
against a team that's playing bass player goes out.
59:40
You understand why? All right Brian last game, we're
59:44
going to look out of here out of conference.
59:49
Are you shocked all waited on this one till last?
59:51
I'm not shocked. You Waitin on this until last.
59:54
Are you aware Oklahoma? Train, train, train, Oklahoma
1:00:01
laying 22. Obviously.
1:00:05
Shane had some interviews Bob Stoops had to come in and help
1:00:10
out a little bit with Lincoln this week.
1:00:15
What do you think Brian 22 too? Much blood or is Lincoln,
1:00:19
finally got them common where they're going to just blow the
1:00:22
doors off, Baylor. You know, if it hadn't been for
1:00:27
some of the problems they were having this week, I'd say
1:00:30
Oklahoma probably does go with the 22 but it with having
1:00:33
different coaches coming in. Even one is well-versed in
1:00:38
winning as Bob Stoops. I still think some of that might
1:00:42
throw them off just a hair. It's going to be probably three
1:00:46
scores, but I think it's going to be somewhere 17 to 21 and not
1:00:50
22. So the 22 is about a point, too.
1:00:52
Rich for my blood here. I'm with you man.
1:00:56
Baylor's been in every game, they played this year and it
1:01:00
just everything doesn't seem right with linking quite yet.
1:01:04
But, I'm going to tell you, we're going to both take Baylor
1:01:06
and will tell you what's probably going to happen.
1:01:09
We're going to be sitting at 17 early fourth quarter Baylor's,
1:01:13
going to punt and they're going to House of Pain.
1:01:17
Shane train train train. Hey, that's better than a
1:01:22
meaningless. Two-point conversion that
1:01:25
completely broke the NFL. Put on the six and a half or
1:01:36
two. Oh yeah.
1:01:39
Oh yeah. I didn't put it out of my mind,
1:01:45
so you know, I'm probably going to do a
1:02:04
couple. Going to be more more searing
1:02:14
them off than smoking them necessarily.
1:02:16
So that's what I've got planned for going on the grill or so
1:02:20
money. So you different taste than, you
1:02:22
know, throwing them in an oven or even smoking them, I usually
1:02:26
marinate mine and then do I'll put them on there and just
1:02:30
rotate them every, every two minutes until I get the right
1:02:33
internal temperature and then I'll pull them off, all right?
1:02:37
Anything else breaking Braun late.
1:02:40
You know, any coaching hires and Nothing the stuff.
1:02:45
I'm not seeing anything jumping out at me but you know, I could
1:02:50
have missed something. So if you see something I'm
1:02:54
throwing at me, naquan Brown decommitted today from LSU
1:03:01
decommitted, a the committed, which you don't know.
1:03:09
We can speculate all we want if it is a true deep commitment.
1:03:12
Or they told him. His offer wasn't good anymore.
1:03:19
Either way, you almost feel for a kid or maybe he actually saw
1:03:25
Lana. What is LSU doing this year?
1:03:27
Oh no. I'm good man.
1:03:28
I'd rather go to look elsewhere. You're also having kids this
1:03:32
year they're starting to get their first semester grades and
1:03:37
if the grades ain't quite right, so it could be a number of
1:03:40
different things while he's made this move.
1:03:43
Best of luck to you a young man. He is a talented guy.
1:03:46
And For any hockey fan that says, well, I don't want to
1:03:51
bullshit. Bullshit.
1:03:55
Yep, it kid in a heartbeat I mean, even if even if you think
1:04:00
he's a project at this point in state, is where you want to look
1:04:05
at projects, not guys that are coming from far away.
1:04:09
If you're getting some guys from far away, you want them to be
1:04:12
able to within their first year to on-campus.
1:04:15
Be steady contributors. 100%. But if you've got nothing else,
