  The money, you spent on Main Street.

  Pharmacy, goes towards the things you support.
• 1:20
  So next time, you're in Blacksburg head on down to 301
• 1:24
  South Main Street and let them know Curtis.
• 1:26
  And Brian, since you body, we are back after a week off.
• 1:30
  How you feeling tonight, man, I'm feeling great man, but I am
• 1:33
  feeling we have so much to unload, and I just look just the
• 1:38
  last. What?
• 1:40
  48, 50, 50 hours, man. It's been only it.
• 1:45
  It's been a frenzy, it's been a frenzy.
• 1:47
  If we were, we were putting this together.
• 1:49
  This episode, we started putting this together in the labs where
• 1:51
  you re like we got enough to get this episode, but it might not
• 1:54
  be a long one than everything happened as well.
• 1:57
  Okay, we gotta we gotta we have extra, you know 20 30 minutes.
• 2:00
  We can we can pad on here and talk about.
• 2:02
  So let's hope it's an extra 20 to 30 and not an extra like our
• 2:06
  because that could be continually would happens
• 2:08
  tonight. I mean, but hey, it's all the
• 2:12
  times. That's how it goes man, and it's
• 2:14
  all good time. That's one of the big things
• 2:16
  about it. This is you know, a lot of good
• 2:18
  stuff in this episode, a lot of good good stuff and you know
• 2:22
  where we decided to kick it off the night, was the stuff that
• 2:24
  happened on Sunday and that is all the commitments that came
• 2:28
  down after a big OV weekend up in Blacksburg and where the
• 2:33
  Hokies got three commitments, to the class of 2023.
• 2:38
  And with that subsequent commitment, Brian, you know?
• 2:42
  We we looked and hovering about 40 Like we still said 35, but we
• 2:47
  knew there were some guys, we could potentially land and I
• 2:50
  told you I looked after the three guys committed.
• 2:53
  We were at 34, overall 33 composite in with those three
• 2:58
  commitments, which we're going to discuss here in a minute.
• 3:00
  We're up to 30 overall with the 24/7 and 33 composite.
• 3:03
  So a massive jump for the Hokies in the rankings and something
• 3:09
  that you. You said a year ago, 30 to 35
• 3:13
  next year's where I want us to be slightly above where we
• 3:16
  finished last class often. It seems like we're right on
• 3:19
  that track for you. Yeah, I mean, it looks like
• 3:21
  that's where we're trending right now, you know, a big
• 3:25
  close, maybe another one or two to kind of close that out.
• 3:28
  Would be nice for sure. It will be but, you know, we're
• 3:32
  almost at a full boat at this point.
• 3:35
  Yes. We are, you know, I think we're
• 3:38
  probably keeping one spot open. See what happens with the
• 3:43
  certain Richmond Richmond earned linebacker that will remain
• 3:48
  remain nameless for the time being.
• 3:52
  He doesn't need to rename nameless.
• 3:53
  I mean, you know, so but other than him and maybe maybe one
• 4:00
  other, you know, that's out there that we either we've been
• 4:03
  following lightly or heavily the last six to eight months.
• 4:09
  You know, this is kind of Kind of what we're working with here.
• 4:14
  But I mean, three big ones over the weekend, you know?
• 4:19
  We heard about some of the, we had a bunch back on bunch of
• 4:24
  commits that were back on campus this weekend.
• 4:27
  Yes. They were had a good handful
• 4:29
  that we were hoping to kind of either Flip or close on this
• 4:32
  weekend and we had a pretty good percentage with that pretty good
• 4:36
  percentage for this class and the portal, which we're going to
• 4:38
  just do the portal by itself because it has its own Beach
• 4:40
  right now. But let's Start frying with the
• 4:43
  sort of lead dog that started the trend on Sunday night.
• 4:47
  And you know, it's the borderline for Star wide
• 4:52
  receiver, Aiden, green out of Powell Tennessee and Powell high
• 4:57
  school you know six foot and a half hundred seventy pounds.
• 5:02
  Held offers from Cincinnati. You know, Arkansas, a lot of
• 5:07
  different places for this kid and, you know, it was one of
• 5:13
  those. They felt like if they could get
• 5:14
  on campus, once he decommitted from Cincinnati.
• 5:17
  Yeah, I think they knew they could get him.
• 5:20
  And next thing, you know why live happens, you know, he's in
• 5:25
  the top five fifty four, the country top 80 receiver, so
• 5:28
  you're getting what's viewed as a good player.
• 5:32
  Did you have a chance to look at highlight reels?
• 5:35
  Yeah. I mean I think this is a guy
• 5:37
  that could potentially come in and be a potential immediate
• 5:42
  impact player. I don't know if he's going to
• 5:44
  necessarily be kind of in that, three or four man rotation, but
• 5:49
  I think he could definitely be somebody that you're going to
• 5:52
  see out there in year. One kind of doing some things
• 5:56
  for us. Really good athlete.
• 5:59
  I like his hands moves in and out of his brakes.
• 6:03
  Well, so I think he's going to be a big addition for this team,
• 6:08
  whether he has immediate impact in 23 or whether we're waiting
• 6:12
  for 424. Before we really see what he can
• 6:15
  really do. That's going to be the big
• 6:17
  question but very solid pick up ya.
• 6:20
  Big question about a lot of these guys and I think this is
• 6:22
  something we'll start finding out the next few weeks is who's
• 6:24
  coming in early? Obviously any time, I mean
• 6:28
  early, you know that immediately, you know, helps
• 6:31
  them out and you know with with green be and why don't there's a
• 6:35
  Mission of need, we know that. So if he's able to come in and
• 6:37
  pick up the Playbook quick potentially there with him,
• 6:41
  Little underweight, you know, I'm hoping he's one of the guys
• 6:45
  that chooses to enroll early just to get quickly into a
• 6:48
  weight program that maybe by the end of next summer, he's put on
• 6:51
  ten to Fifteen of good weight especially at a need position.
• 6:56
  If we're talking about guys that we want to get in early, any
• 7:00
  wide receiver, offensive, lineman or DNA that we can get
• 7:03
  in. Early.
• 7:06
  Yep all the better. Yep, and just an FYI.
• 7:10
  Primary recruiter man making some hey lately fontelle Minds.
• 7:16
  You know does work on start to put up walls around the 804 man,
• 7:20
  he is but walls. Well let's talk about the guy
• 7:23
  who essentially pulled out of the 80 for and that was Jeremiah
• 7:28
  Coney over at Hermitage I mean a you know myth 3 star guy But,
• 7:36
  you know, six foot and a half hundred ninety four pounds.
• 7:39
  Now, that way, that running back dad makes him a little bit,
• 7:42
  potentially more ready, out of the gate?
• 7:45
  We'll see what you think with the film.
• 7:47
  You know, was initially committed to Appalachian State
• 7:50
  and it's one of those. There's there are just certain
• 7:54
  G5 schools in certain positions if they recruit.
• 7:59
  You feel like it's something for ab State and how their run game
• 8:03
  has been really the last decade. Plus if you flip a running back
• 8:07
  from them you feel like you've done something because you know
• 8:10
  they have a reputation. What's the tape saying?
• 8:13
  So far on on him this is a guy that you know, could push for
• 8:20
  some playing time early just because you know we do kind of
• 8:24
  have a void in Kind of a bigger body running back.
• 8:31
  Now, you know, we got we got Thomas coming back, he's going
• 8:35
  to be the all-purpose, hopefully can stay healthy Kings, very
• 8:37
  good, change of pace back. We're looking for that kind of
• 8:41
  big body running back that has some good Vision between the
• 8:45
  tackles. Do we end up addressing that in
• 8:47
  the portal? Or are we going to kind of put
• 8:49
  that on a true freshman that's coming in for us in Jeremiah?
• 8:54
  Coney, because he's kind of in that big body area, I think, you
• 8:57
  know, So, we'll see if he can kind of get closer to that 200
• 9:02
  range if he comes in early and on campus and has offseason with
• 9:07
  us, but there's some potential there as well.
• 9:10
  So I like his game, like I said, you know, big body, good Vision
• 9:17
  breaks tackles well. So I think he's got some, some
• 9:20
  potential to be there. But I mean, another solid pick
• 9:22
  up fontelle mines, doing his thing in the 80, for which we
• 9:26
  love to see. Absolutely.
• 9:28
  Now do you see someone like him? Do you think definitely running
• 9:31
  back? Know we played some linebacker
• 9:33
  in high school but as he definitely a running back in
• 9:36
  your eyes. Yeah I think he's definitely a
• 9:38
  running back. Just just his skill set.
• 9:41
  Everything overall he's definitely a running back.
• 9:43
  I think he's got potential where he can play on the other side
• 9:46
  but I wouldn't unless it just doesn't work at running back
• 9:51
  then then I wouldn't I wouldn't entertain that.
• 9:54
  Yeah. And to that point, I'm looking
• 9:56
  here scrolling up and down. Stu Holt was his secondary so
• 9:59
  that even more kind of solidifies likely going to be in
• 10:02
  the running back and stay in the running back room once he gets
• 10:07
  to Blacksburg. All right, so the last one was,
• 10:12
  I think the most surprising, I think with we heard greens going
• 10:16
  to get on campus and Kony was taking that trip after they both
• 10:20
  decommitted. That was one of those.
• 10:21
  Okay, if we get them there, we likely are going to flip.
• 10:28
  The other one came out of nowhere because it was such a
• 10:30
  late addition that he was making the visit and that is the
• 10:35
  quarterback out of Springfield Central and Springfield Mass
• 10:39
  William pop Watson. The third, you know, a composite
• 10:44
  composite 3 star. 24/7 has a three star quarterback in
• 10:50
  originally committed to Nebraska and I know I can't remember who
• 10:57
  made a comment. About it.
• 10:58
  So about Mark, Whipple more equipped with more powerful,
• 11:01
  likes him as a quarterback. You have some other stuff there
• 11:04
  and just overall I mean had interest from programs like
• 11:09
  Tennessee Oregon, Michigan, Kentucky on and you don't know
• 11:14
  the level of interest but the reality goes they were
• 11:18
  interested in and he lands in Nebraska and Nebraska even the
• 11:21
  last three or four years, losing a bunch of one score gains was
• 11:24
  still pulling top 15, you know, talent-wise Yes.
• 11:28
  And even though he's coming from Massachusetts, it's not a big
• 11:32
  football state. We all know that, you know, but
• 11:36
  occasionally you can find, you know, Diamonds in the Rough from
• 11:40
  Massachusetts. And, you know, we Hokies know
• 11:43
  that very well. But what do you thinking of
• 11:45
  Imran? Yeah, I like this kid.
• 11:47
  A lot. Like, looking at his game.
• 11:50
  He's a true dual thread. He's not just a running
• 11:53
  quarterback, he's not just a pastor.
• 11:56
  He's a guy that can kind of Do it all really good footwork,
• 12:02
  really good. Polished mechanics.
• 12:04
  As a quarterback for a high school player consistent whether
• 12:10
  he's throwing on the run or whether he's standing in the
• 12:13
  pocket. So I mean that's good to see.
• 12:17
  Not great arm strength, but he can make all the throws.
• 12:23
  Yeah, I mean, I think he's going to be somebody that could
• 12:26
  potentially push for a starting role.
• 12:28
  And again, a couple Seasons right now, when you say polished
• 12:32
  passer is it does that just mean it's refined when you don't see
• 12:36
  it. If someone's under his footage
• 12:37
  still the same mechanism is that with me, whether he's throwing
• 12:42
  on the run, whether he's standing in the pocket, Diet,
• 12:46
  whether he's getting pressured, that those mechanics, they say
• 12:50
  pretty, pretty close to the same, which means that he's
• 12:53
  going to be delivering a good ball every time.
• 12:58
  Said, I mean there are occasions where he'll miss but it's
• 13:04
  consistent. And when you can do something
• 13:06
  like that consistently, you can kind of work on that the other
• 13:09
  parts of the that contribute to accuracy as you're kind of
• 13:12
  building on that. I got you got you.
• 13:15
  All right? So with that, that takes to
• 13:17
  class up to 23, total likely, only 22 that will be on full
• 13:23
  football scholarship. You know, Jimmy Mullen the
• 13:25
  wrestler, I know there's some stuff.
• 13:28
  Out there that, you know, it's one way or the other.
• 13:31
  Sometimes they have to be counted to football if they're
• 13:33
  playing football. But either way, I think you're
• 13:37
  right. I think we're just a handful of
• 13:38
  guys away from finishing off this class.
• 13:43
  I don't know if it'll come potentially next, Wednesday, or
• 13:46
  if it's going to be something after the Wednesday day of
• 13:50
  getting the additional players. And obviously, the big one is
• 13:54
  sitting down and Verano right now.
• 13:56
  And that would really be an absolute cherry on top of this
• 14:01
  second class. And also, the way this class is
• 14:04
  held together after not the best on-field results.
• 14:08
  Yeah, I mean, especially, you know, we talked about since the
• 14:12
  season has ended between the the in-home visits and the stuff
• 14:16
  that's happened. The last couple weeks on campus.
• 14:20
  They've really done a good job of kind of keeping everybody
• 14:22
  together. Keeping everyone on the same
• 14:24
  page and kind of keeping Body in the boat and committed and ready
• 14:31
  to roll into the season particularly guys that were
• 14:34
  getting some some decent push to to do other things.
• 14:39
  Thinking more of Lance Williams and Dante love it here.
• 14:43
  Yeah who do did get some some other legitimate power 5 offers
• 14:48
  kind of down the stretch there now so it'll be interesting.
• 14:52
  Will be obviously watching that next Wednesday seeing what all
• 14:56
  happens. But now, let's go to sort of the
• 15:00
  bigger story now, this time of year, right?
• 15:03
  Because it's now that college football has changed in the
• 15:06
  portal. Officially opened.
• 15:08
  Its the main episode man poorly season, it is the portal open
• 15:12
  roughly eight days ago after the college football.
• 15:15
  Playoff was announced and you know, we had DJ Harvey go in
• 15:20
  before our last episode and since then you know matthäus
• 15:24
  Carol looking Rudolph does Mamu & Moss.
• 15:29
  Armani Chapman, Enzo Anthony Keyshawn artist.
• 15:33
  Jason Brown, Eli atoms and then maybe the one that surprised us
• 15:37
  all was Caleb Smith other than Caleb Smith Brian, anybody else?
• 15:43
  Oh, shocker to you on that list or made you go.
• 15:46
  Hmm, no. I mean the the ones that stand
• 15:50
  out are probably Carol just because he did get some run kind
• 15:54
  of the start the season but he had gotten I think kind of
• 15:58
  pushed a little further down the depth chart than he would have
• 16:00
  liked as the season went along. I think Rudolph with how the
• 16:05
  linebacking corps, some of the younger guys in the linebacking
• 16:08
  corps of come along, You know, it's just only so many mouths to
• 16:15
  feed, right? It's true.
• 16:17
  It's only so many mouths to feed.
• 16:19
  It's only, it's only so much of what you can do in in the whole
• 16:24
  approach this year. It looked like from Brett
• 16:26
  practice, he mentioned a few weeks ago, 30 to 35 guys.
• 16:30
  He had to have conversations with, that's a lot of people on
• 16:32
  the team, even if you get up to the 120, that's roughly a
• 16:35
  quarter of your roster and you know, it's Which Way can
• 16:41
  Conversation to go and then who choose to go in the portal?
• 16:44
  I know. I don't think we're done seeing
• 16:46
  guys under the portal yet. I have a feeling if you guys are
• 16:49
  probably going to enter some time between now and the first
• 16:53
  of the year 325, they're probably waiting for that that
• 16:58
  spring money to kick in and then they'll figure that out.
• 17:01
  What is it? Was we starting to see that.
• 17:04
  We know we're losing a lot of guys, anyway, just because of
• 17:07
  the covid years going to be gone.
• 17:08
  It did not take Take long for this coaching staff to jump
• 17:14
  right on it and get in there. And the first one is, maybe
• 17:17
  somebody here that should have been here a long time ago and
• 17:20
  currently, you know, I'm looking at on three if you guys haven't
• 17:24
  checked out on three is really dipping hard and do the transfer
• 17:27
  portal, like they are essentially creating rankings
• 17:31
  stars and the Hokies quickly, route the gate a guy that should
• 17:36
  have been here a long time ago. Like I said, the number four
• 17:39
  ranked portal entry Ali Jennings.
• 17:42
  Everybody should know that name very well played at Highland
• 17:45
  Springs went to West Virginia and he played it Odie.
• 17:48
  You two seasons in the you know, this season, nine games over 950
• 17:54
  yards, 50 for receptions nine touchdowns almost 18, a
• 17:58
  reception, and it wasn't just him sitting here.
• 18:04
  Like all, he just beat up on the little schools.
• 18:07
  He just beat up on the schools that don't have all the talent.
• 18:11
  I mean, it was every school. I mean, we saw what he did to us
• 18:15
  late in that game. He beat Dorian strong on one of
• 18:17
  those under throwing balls. He put 200 up against TCU, he
• 18:21
  almost put 100 against UVA. He put 129 on Liberty, the kid
• 18:27
  bald. And I think later in the year
• 18:29
  against Georgia, State and Marshall, he did have his to
• 18:31
  lesser games, but he hasn't played since November.
• 18:34
  So I had to go look and see if maybe he got a little banged up.
• 18:37
  But what up? What a land for the first guy.
• 18:41
  Portal to commit this season Brian an immediate automatic
• 18:44
  starter at wide receiver. Yeah I mean that's a that's a
• 18:47
  position upgrade right out the gate and that's that's whether
• 18:52
  you know, the situation with Kayla Smith ends up with him,
• 18:54
  coming back to the Hokies next year.
• 18:56
  Next year. And not, you know, we talked
• 18:59
  about it when we previewed, ODU, Ali Jennings is a legitimate NFL
• 19:04
  caliber wide receiver. He's got that type of skill set
• 19:09
  getting a guy like that at Virginia Tech is huge.
• 19:14
  It's huge and it's definitely one of those, it's a culture
• 19:18
  Builder. It's it, get your eyes on your
• 19:20
  program. It says, hey, this can be a
• 19:24
  destination for this caliber of player.
• 19:27
  Yeah and it's great to see it again.
• 19:31
  We continue to talk about the 8004 and Highland Springs and
• 19:34
  Hermitage a on and schools like that.
• 19:38
  I do have to say, I wonder how much of the relationship
• 19:42
  building that's been happening in that area.
• 19:45
  Came back and helped by in this, when I mean, I know the fontelle
• 19:48
  minds connection was bigger, right.
• 19:50
  He can't find tail recruit him down to ODU, but how big was
• 19:55
  maybe Lauren Johnson? How big was that coaching?
• 19:57
  If we're print Prime that entire staff is getting the trust from
• 20:01
  Highland Springs now, and phone calls were made potentially Ali,
• 20:07
  I would have seen assume he still speaks to his coaches in
• 20:10
  high school like most guys do in essence, it's the restoration.
• 20:13
  We're starting to see the fruits of that labor come through.
• 20:18
  Yeah I mean it's definitely kind of built like I said building
• 20:22
  that Foundation that coach prize tried to talk about like this is
• 20:29
  this is a culture building Type move and hopefully you know this
• 20:35
  isn't the end of end of the run. We're going to see some more
• 20:39
  big-time names get Get you put in attached to the Hokies going
• 20:44
  forward, man. Absolutely.
• 20:47
  And it didn't take long last night to that to happen to go
• 20:50
  ahead and get number two from the portal and Chiron, drones a
• 20:54
  6-foot 295 lb. He is a coming in.
• 20:58
  You'll be a redshirt sophomore next year.
• 21:00
  So three years of Eligibility left out of Baylor.
• 21:04
  We finally landed, the 4 Star Quarterback out of Texas for
• 21:09
  Star Quarterback out of Texas. Wow.
• 21:13
  Yeah. And so this is this is big for
• 21:16
  the Hokies because, you know, we talked about quarterback being
• 21:21
  other than wideout being the position.
• 21:23
  We had to Target in the portal for especially from a skill
• 21:27
  position standpoint. At least someone to push Grant
• 21:31
  Wells, if not an upgraded position.
• 21:34
  I've looked at this guy's tape, I think he's an upgrade from
• 21:36
  Grant Wells and in every aspect he's got a live arm.
• 21:42
  ERM. He's got more athleticism.
• 21:44
  He is strong as an ox by the squat tape.
• 21:48
  We see strong as yeah. Yeah, I mean he's put up 585
• 21:52
  with I wouldn't say he's but he's putting up 585 easier than
• 21:57
  most people do. And and a lot of people that
• 22:00
  have, you know, 60 to 80 pounds on him, would put it up.
• 22:05
  So Really, really strong player. Saw some extended action against
• 22:12
  West Virginia did did really well other than kind of a late
• 22:16
  pick when he kind of got in trouble in the backfield.
• 22:20
  But did really well overall against that defense had some
• 22:24
  other games where he saw some action this year.
• 22:26
  So, overall, again, I think it's a significant upgrade from from
• 22:33
  Grant wells in terms of ceiling if we're talking about Floor.
• 22:37
  I think the floor is a little higher than what what wells is.
• 22:40
  Okay. So higher floor and the ceiling
• 22:44
  is, you know, much higher in terms of what he can do, just
• 22:48
  because he's got more athleticism and he's stronger
• 22:52
  and he still got the arm to go with that.
• 22:54
  Do you? Are you also going with a higher
• 22:56
  floor? Because of I would say the less
• 22:59
  baggage and I'm not trying to like completely, not Grant, but
• 23:04
  we knew Grant had a propensity for turning the ball over. /.
• 23:07
  This kid, he played in five games, he's taking 20, he's
• 23:12
  basically through 23 balls, you know, is does that adjust your
• 23:19
  floor as well? Because with Grant, we talked
• 23:21
  about, we transfer, if he can clean up the interceptions, it
• 23:26
  would significant. He keeps the higher production
• 23:28
  with the passing can be okay. Is that one reason you put that
• 23:33
  floor a little bit higher because of essentially, the lack
• 23:35
  of maybe scar Shoo, I'll say it's not just that I'll say it's
• 23:39
  a couple things and I'll give a shout-out to Chris Coleman on
• 23:42
  this when we talk about a shifting in flaw and hell man.
• 23:45
  Oh, man, oh man, Chris calls, the storm earlier earlier today
• 23:51
  already, but I'll let you go ahead and continue with the Good
• 23:56
  Year. Yes.
• 23:56
  So I can Christmas play. When we talk about the shifting
• 24:00
  in philosophy, what I think we're not going to see next year
• 24:04
  is as much of a Reliance or over-reliance On the Run game
• 24:10
  and play action. I think we're not changing
• 24:13
  schemes, but we're changing philosophy of how that scheme is
• 24:18
  being executed in the game playing week to week, okay?
• 24:21
  So you're going to, you're going to see some more run to pass the
• 24:26
  set up the Run. You're going to see the ball
• 24:29
  getting out of the hands of the quarterback a little bit
• 24:31
  quicker. You're going to see more running
• 24:34
  with the quarterback whether that's Read option things like
• 24:38
  that, you're going to, you're going to see a little bit more
• 24:40
  of a mix and match of the philosophies and less just
• 24:45
  power, Run play action or dumped down to the tight ends.
• 24:49
  That there's not going to be kind of that.
• 24:51
  I mean. And that was, you know, that was
• 24:54
  what we kind of rolled into the season with were like, okay,
• 24:56
  we're going to run the bowl, we're going to work the short
• 24:58
  passing game to the tight ends, to try to move the sticks.
• 25:01
  And we're going to take deep shots down the field to try to
• 25:04
  get some quick strikes through the air.
• 25:07
  And it was, it was very it was it was literally Hit or Miss.
• 25:11
  If we hit a big gain in the Run game, if we were able to hit
• 25:15
  some of those big game big gains in the passing game, we looked.
• 25:18
  Alright when those weren't there and they started keying in on
• 25:23
  the tight ends and we couldn't run between the tackles it
• 25:26
  looked as ugly as an often says it could.
• 25:29
  What you're getting with drones is the ability to open that up
• 25:32
  some more both with his athleticism and with his arm.
• 25:35
  So it's a lot of What you're saying is with this shift,
• 25:39
  especially with the running probably more RPO quick passes.
• 25:42
  Essentially, you're forcing an additional either linebacker.
• 25:45
  Safety to commit to the inside versus with Grant.
• 25:49
  Even though we're there were times when they let him run, he
• 25:53
  did pick up some yards. This is truly that dual threat
• 25:56
  that a lot of people clamor for a true dual threat and I again
• 26:00
  you said RPO and that's what it's going to be.
• 26:02
  We're going to we're going to be putting linebackers and Those
• 26:06
  kind of spill Area players in a lot more conflict this year with
• 26:12
  with a player like drones. All right, well, for everybody
• 26:17
  spring is going to be fun. Yeah, we got a big big draw to
• 26:21
  the spring game, now, big draw because we got to admit them to
• 26:27
  Big pieces that are getting added to that offense.
• 26:30
  Abso-freakin'-lutely, I want to flip next Brian and we kind of
• 26:34
  already hit this while going through the Old.
• 26:37
  But kind of the farewell to certain Hokies and, you know, we
• 26:41
  already talked about, you know, Jason Brown.
• 26:45
  We talked about our mining Chapman but, you know, Jalen
• 26:48
  Holston had now Drake due to his head.
• 26:52
  Now, Jaden blue and it looks like Caleb Smith, he's in the
• 26:56
  portal, does he come back to us? He go elsewhere, obviously Silas
• 27:01
  Kinsey and Johnny on the offensive side of the ball
• 27:04
  garbage and Griffin Dax tomorrow, He Connor free on
• 27:09
  Marine DJ Harvey, you know, when we look at this that's some
• 27:15
  production guide. Are you guess it?
• 27:18
  Will you look up and down there guys who are star most of that
• 27:22
  production is Smith and then big the big veterans on defense, the
• 27:27
  big that's on defense along with steady play from Silas and
• 27:31
  Johnny but as we look at this and you know you say farewell to
• 27:35
  them I don't think with this list, maybe, with the exception,
• 27:42
  maybe, with the exception of Garbutt, There's not like a
• 27:46
  glaring glaring I think we all now.
• 27:49
  We see Chris Marv and we see you know, Chris Marsh coach the
• 27:53
  linebackers that you need to have better this year.
• 27:56
  The safety units got better. We saw the young guys play.
• 28:01
  We're doing young guys. Played the better.
• 28:03
  The unit's? God Oh man okay hey you go at
• 28:13
  your pace man. I mean are we watching the same
• 28:17
  tape? I mean it's true.
• 28:19
  The the more they got acclimated and I'm not just saying that the
• 28:23
  veterans didn't get the job done.
• 28:25
  A lot of them did they played well but the the more that we
• 28:29
  got the up-and-coming players involved in the the defense The
• 28:35
  more consistent that defense looked both, I'd say the
• 28:38
  linebackers and the safety and cornerbacks in particular I
• 28:43
  think defensive line, it was more of a mixed bag, right?
• 28:48
  Just somebody telling you that that Bryant Cobbs is agreeing
• 28:52
  that this is an accurate statement.
• 28:53
  Brian. Just so, you know, somebody out
• 28:56
  there is an agreement with you. Well, wolf.
• 28:58
  Let's look on the offensive side of the ball and let's look
• 29:01
  especially at the line. And it seemed like every time
• 29:04
  Braylon, well, he had his errors, but there were times
• 29:06
  when it came to running game. He was just monster and people.
• 29:10
  And we saw Xavier chaplain in that last game and Xavier.
• 29:12
  Chaplain played one game. So you're talking about, get
• 29:15
  them acclimated, and I think I mentioned something to you from
• 29:19
  day is Brent, I decided to build this from the inside out, not
• 29:23
  the outside in and I don't, and I really think that's why we're
• 29:29
  seeing what we saw last year because he's essentially, In the
• 29:33
  culture inside, right? If you creates the culture
• 29:36
  inside and you build everybody here versus bringing a bunch of
• 29:41
  people in Well, I think it's I think it's twofold.
• 29:45
  So I think when we look at it we knew there were holes last year,
• 29:50
  we fill the holes that had to absolutely had to be filled with
• 29:54
  what we could fill it with and what the philosophy was at the
• 29:58
  time. But what I like that I'm seeing
• 30:01
  from this staff is, you know, you said building from the
• 30:06
  inside but also the ability to evaluate pivot and put a plan in
• 30:12
  place and then eat that plan. So we're already seeing it now
• 30:16
  with, you know, with getting drones in with getting Jennings
• 30:20
  and we've identified the areas of need.
• 30:24
  We've identified the missteps and philosophy relative to the
• 30:28
  talent that we have on the roster right now and where we
• 30:30
  can address that talent. And we're adjusting and putting
• 30:36
  a plan in place to execute. Yeah, and so far, we're
• 30:39
  executing that playing pretty well in terms of the guys that
• 30:42
  we needed to close. Out for the 23 class, and who we
• 30:45
  needed to prioritize in the transfer report.
• 30:49
  All right, well, I'm going to ask this and this is going to go
• 30:51
  back to the portal peace while we talk about.
• 30:54
  Obviously, you're losing to good offensive.
• 30:55
  Lineman we saw Chapman more play you got Clements again, finally,
• 31:02
  going up versus down. Finally, at the end of the
• 31:05
  season, he wasn't awful at the end of the season.
• 31:07
  He was just mid which I mean, if he'd have been made all year
• 31:11
  shit. Okay, we would have been a
• 31:15
  little better. But let me ask this because what
• 31:18
  we haven't seen, and we don't hear much buzz from her.
• 31:21
  I haven't is we're not hearing a lot of Buzz with the offensive
• 31:24
  line. The big thing to me is that
• 31:28
  targeting in the portal with the with the Lyman is a little bit
• 31:30
  more difficult than some of the other position groups because
• 31:35
  it's a lot harder to get a good eval of guys that aren't
• 31:39
  starters on other teams right now.
• 31:44
  So you're either looking at taking a chance on a guy that is
• 31:49
  going to be stepping up a level whether it's FCS or G5 or you're
• 31:54
  taking it even bigger wrist on And a guy at the power 5 level,
• 31:58
  that's only been a rotational or full-time second-stringer for a
• 32:06
  P5 program. So I'm thinking there might be
• 32:09
  something where he's taking a little bit longer to eval, and
• 32:13
  bring to see offers later now, I hope we don't end up, missing
• 32:15
  out on cream of the crop guys, because of that.
• 32:20
  But I get a conservative approach in terms of evaluation
• 32:25
  because part of the problem. Them that we ran into this
• 32:27
  year's. We had guys that didn't fit what
• 32:30
  we really needed to do from a philosophy standpoint.
• 32:35
  And it took a longer time for that to jail for them to get
• 32:39
  comfortable with the system and things like that.
• 32:42
  Alright, alright, so we'll see how that goes over road.
• 32:45
  We have about trying to do the math here about 37 days until
• 32:51
  the portal officially closes, which is again.
• 32:54
  I think I know this Is that one thing you're happy about?
• 32:58
  It's got an opening date in the closing date.
• 33:01
  You can't just be committing in the middle of the Year.
• 33:04
  These are the times. All right, couple other notes
• 33:08
  concerning football. One other note.
• 33:12
  I'm glad Mansoor d'Alene got name to a freshman All-American
• 33:16
  team that kid deserved as a 24/7 freshman All-American team.
• 33:22
  You know, obviously not a consensus or anything with
• 33:24
  multiple lines but at least one did recognized his talent.
• 33:28
  So kudos to him again, makes you feel better about that secondary
• 33:32
  room as we get into 2023. Another thing to note on because
• 33:39
  we're going to talk oops here in just a second.
• 33:42
  What a win? I don't know if you got to see
• 33:44
  this problem but what a win for the Hokies on the map.
• 33:50
  The Hokie wrestling team takes out number seven.
• 33:52
  Missouri at home on Sunday 1715. This was the second time in, as
• 34:02
  many years, they've upset Missouri.
• 34:03
  Missouri is a top program in the country especially after coming
• 34:08
  off that the heartbreaker to Ohio State.
• 34:13
  This this team's good. That's all you can say they're
• 34:16
  good and hopefully some you know hopefully national championships
• 34:20
  come out of it, this year. Yeah.
• 34:23
  I mean, I think this is another, I mean top to bottom.
• 34:26
  It might be a better Squad than last year.
• 34:28
  I think it's a deeper Odd. We'll see if, if it's as
• 34:32
  top-heavy. I think I think it can be.
• 34:37
  And, you know, you, you pushed Ohio State to the Limit, you got
• 34:40
  a big win at Mizzou. So I think that, you know, we're
• 34:44
  moving in the right direction here, it's going to be
• 34:48
  interesting because, you know, over the next few weeks, you
• 34:51
  know, they've got, they got Stanford, the Cornell and in
• 34:56
  January to me pretty big Cornell, another good wrestling
• 34:58
  program. And then obviously, we look at
• 35:02
  early mid January with NC State. You know, essentially the slowly
• 35:06
  but surely becoming the wrestling rival at Virginia Tech
• 35:12
  in in the ACC. All right, let's talk some
• 35:15
  hoops. An expert on, let's flip it over
• 35:17
  and let's talk about the men's team first.
• 35:20
  We looked at this stretch of games that they had to go
• 35:23
  through starting at Minnesota, which we got to talk about, and
• 35:26
  we said, go 500, great. Go three in one hoorah.
• 35:33
  But to go for an, do you know beating Minnesota, handedly
• 35:40
  beating UNC Beating the brakes off of Dayton and then a game.
• 35:45
  And you got to watch together in the second half on Sunday, be no
• 35:49
  key State. I mean, let's talk with you and
• 35:51
  see what a win in general against the Tar Heels.
• 35:56
  You know, you take a look at that game.
• 35:59
  The Hokies really dominated till about the 4-minute mark in the
• 36:03
  second half and North Carolina made their run to get back in
• 36:07
  it. But, you know, Justin what's in
• 36:10
  the second half, 21 points, grat gets a double double.
• 36:16
  You know, what else, did you see from that game?
• 36:18
  That really impressed you on that Sunday and unfortunately,
• 36:22
  they keep giving a Sunday games, which is, you know, thank God.
• 36:24
  We have man caves or we can watch multiple games at once but
• 36:28
  a number a over when the, when we were wrapping up the game
• 36:32
  against Okie state, so I know you're great.
• 36:35
  Your setups, great did. It was, we're watching the NFL
• 36:38
  games and we're keeping an eye on the Hokies game.
• 36:41
  So, it was it's That you got to have at least three TVs, guys.
• 36:45
  It's just a rule. Yeah, so I mean, look at the
• 36:49
  UNC. I mean I know they were short of
• 36:51
  Armando be cut so you know, they were one down but I think we did
• 36:55
  a good job of taking advantage of that and you know muds
• 37:00
  beating them up in the boards that was huge.
• 37:06
  And just overall keeping them in check and not really.
• 37:11
  Letting the moment get too big when they started that run.
• 37:16
  They said, okay, the runs here, whether it and we've seen that a
• 37:20
  lot from this team this year. They've given up some leads but
• 37:25
  they generally weathered the storm and then been able to kind
• 37:29
  of close things out. And as they did here, they
• 37:32
  weathered that lead, you know. On a Couture, liked it up from
• 37:37
  three. We whack keep talking about that
• 37:39
  47. We were 37 against Carolina, a
• 37:43
  couple more percentage points lower and maybe it's a different
• 37:45
  outcome of. Maybe it's a lot tighter, but
• 37:49
  you know, I think what's happening is we know we need a
• 37:53
  second ball handler because that's normally.
• 37:56
  Like, that's only when it starts happening.
• 37:58
  Right, getting a little sloppy with the ball.
• 38:01
  May be a turnover, may be forcing a bad shot because of
• 38:03
  not moving the ball correctly. Turnover and a little bit of
• 38:07
  some transition. And, and perimeter defense,
• 38:11
  which I mean is also kind of going back into, all right, is
• 38:15
  our is our primary ball handler in our secondary ball, hindered
• 38:18
  getting gassed as we get later in these games.
• 38:23
  Yeah. That'd be, that's the answer.
• 38:24
  Yes. So Rodney rice when he's ready
• 38:28
  to go. That's the big one that's by the
• 38:34
  New Year. Hopefully.
• 38:35
  By the time we're releasing them up in the New Year.
• 38:38
  Absolutely. So 80 72 Victory there.
• 38:41
  The dating game, I did not watch a minute of this game, I don't
• 38:45
  even listen to it on the radio. I was out of town for business.
• 38:51
  Come back to eat, come back out to eat.
• 38:53
  And I'm like, well, let me get on my phone.
• 38:54
  Let me see what the score is. And I was like, it was a sports
• 38:57
  bar down the street. I'm like, they probably have it.
• 39:00
  By the time I got in, we were up, 18.
• 39:02
  Let's just say, needless to say, I didn't go back.
• 39:05
  Check out to lunch 18-point blowout because they just had
• 39:09
  and I don't think we expected this.
• 39:10
  We expect the dating to be At least a formal opponent.
• 39:15
  They just took it too. Well, they were predicted to
• 39:18
  finish what one or two in the A-10.
• 39:21
  Yeah, I'll let you go down it and they're not going to fit in
• 39:24
  there. Not going to finish their.
• 39:27
  I'll although I a 10 as a whole is down this year.
• 39:32
  So do with that what you will. But but still it's importantly,
• 39:37
  I mean, you still got to take care of your business, right?
• 39:40
  I mean, that's still a solid. Solidly talented date and team,
• 39:44
  they're not garbage. No, but we bet we made him look
• 39:47
  that way. Made with that way.
• 39:49
  You almost beat a team by 30 from the, a 10.
• 39:53
  It says a lot, especially if it's a day to VCU.
• 39:56
  Those type teams from the A-10. And, again, I didn't you have to
• 40:00
  go back out. I just sat there and I can't
• 40:04
  remember what game was on TV. I watch that and just kind of
• 40:06
  updated and it grew bigger, and he grew bigger, and it was like,
• 40:09
  more have mercy. We're gonna beat em up, 40,
• 40:11
  which almost has is Roma. All right, let's talk about the
• 40:16
  game. We got to catch the second half
• 40:18
  together on Sunday, the Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma State.
• 40:22
  Cowboys, I watched the first half.
• 40:24
  We give me a to come over to your house.
• 40:28
  Bad point lead. This is good.
• 40:30
  I get to your house and that lead is all, but gone in an Okie
• 40:36
  State's favor and I was like, Brian, what's happened?
• 40:40
  You know, what the heck happened in these first few minutes that
• 40:45
  I missed and you were kind of hanging out there.
• 40:47
  I mean the first in the first half we were you know they had a
• 40:50
  lot of turnovers. We were able to take advantage
• 40:54
  of some of them probably not as much as we should have and lead
• 40:57
  the first half. Have been probably bigger than
• 40:58
  it was and then in the second half, you know, you come out,
• 41:03
  you missed a couple bad shot, you have a couple bad turnovers
• 41:07
  and their hidden right there. Clicking on the offensive end at
• 41:12
  least early in that that second half.
• 41:14
  They hit a about two or three, threes in back-to-back.
• 41:18
  Possessions. We weren't putting points on the
• 41:22
  board. We are having some in a lot of
• 41:24
  empty possessions. And that kind of that that cuts
• 41:28
  into a nine-point lead real quick.
• 41:30
  Yeah it does. Well we look up I remember when
• 41:33
  me and you were sitting there talking it was like a they
• 41:35
  essentially had went on a 21-day run to open the second half and
• 41:39
  it's completely flipped. It took the lead on themselves
• 41:41
  but give this team a lot of credit.
• 41:44
  Give a lot of the different. A lot of different players on
• 41:47
  this team credit as well because they really showed a lot of
• 41:51
  heart. A lot of an old term we don't
• 41:54
  use anymore but a lot of Grit, you know, you had kid, give
• 42:01
  solid minutes off the bench even though he didn't score much,
• 42:03
  same with Michael Collins poteete, eight points 6, boards
• 42:10
  played some good position, defense down low.
• 42:14
  He made their cannot think of the guys name there.
• 42:17
  Big guy Boone, maybe he made him work.
• 42:22
  He had to work for his points in the second half, especially
• 42:25
  later. And then, all of a sudden, about
• 42:27
  three minutes tie ball game. Basically, the Hokies just go on
• 42:33
  lock, essentially outscore them 6:48 in the final three plus
• 42:39
  minutes and in this game in reality, you look around, you
• 42:44
  know, mutts had a solid game, the seal has Grand, how solid
• 42:48
  game Padula? Had a solid game, this wasn't
• 42:52
  like you and see where months, it was months and a few games
• 42:55
  ago it It was Padula and earlier in the season, it was Grant,
• 43:00
  this was essentially that game where it was, it was all parts
• 43:04
  and it had to be all parts just because of what happened with
• 43:07
  that run early in the second half.
• 43:10
  Yeah, I mean you had a couple guys in foul trouble months had
• 43:14
  to go out for a good portion of the second half.
• 43:18
  So that's why you had guys like kids step up, poteete Step Up.
• 43:24
  Obviously Grant had a good game. We saw Padula hit a couple big
• 43:29
  shots there. When we were down to kind of get
• 43:32
  us back even then get us, get us the lead.
• 43:36
  So I mean it was it was a all-hands-on-deck effort to
• 43:39
  close that one out and we've had a couple of those this year so
• 43:42
  far that I think it prepared us for that type of atmosphere when
• 43:45
  we get into ACC play. Absolutely.
• 43:48
  I think some of these games they rack our nerves.
• 43:52
  They may He make us go a little senile little bit crazy, but
• 43:56
  reality is you just said it brown.
• 43:58
  There's gonna be games under 5 minutes in the ACC, and it's a
• 44:01
  one or two point game, or a tie game and the seams went through.
• 44:04
  It already the know how to lean on things, so we see that we see
• 44:08
  in the Penn State. Now, it took care of you state.
• 44:13
  Yep. And finally, finally, finally
• 44:17
  Braun after going 10 and 11, they finally get ranked this
• 44:20
  week, number 24. Yeah, I still got time.
• 44:25
  Yeah, they should have been 24 last week.
• 44:28
  Hopefully in probably 20 this week, but it is what it is.
• 44:32
  Next game up, is Grambling State, which is next Saturday
• 44:36
  and I think BC is next, Wednesday, Grambling State is
• 44:39
  going to be a sneaky good matchup.
• 44:43
  That's one. We can't sleep walk through now
• 44:46
  that can't become a Charleston. Southern.
• 44:48
  No, that can't be coming to Charleston.
• 44:50
  Southern you need to go ahead and put what you got out there
• 44:53
  and close the door early and finish the game, alright?
• 44:57
  Want to talk this real quick with the ladies hoopsters.
• 45:00
  I mean, obviously they dominated BC, you know, start to finish,
• 45:07
  they dominate UNC Asheville and when by 38, but it was the game
• 45:11
  preceding those two and the Wind over at Tennessee.
• 45:15
  And I know Tennessee. This year is not what they were.
• 45:17
  Last year, they were top 10 team last year like, there's seven
• 45:21
  and four out of the gate this year.
• 45:23
  But either way that 74 is deceptive.
• 45:28
  I mean, let it look who they lost to and and what the score
• 45:31
  was and how they lost its true. It's not, I mean, I know I know
• 45:34
  they'd fallen in terms of being, you know, a ranked team but
• 45:39
  they're much better than their record indicates right now.
• 45:43
  So You can just you can just look at the the point I'd come
• 45:47
  and say alright yeah well that's you skirted by an unranked.
• 45:52
  Yes this is a little different, a little different than that.
• 45:56
  It's me. That's why I'm saying, they're
• 45:57
  not top team, they're a top 25 Team without a doubt, but
• 46:01
  they're not a top-10. What they were I think last year
• 46:04
  but just to get the win on the road there that was a absolute
• 46:09
  nail-biter at the end. We could have been an easy win.
• 46:13
  But you know, No, that is what it is.
• 46:15
  The big one though, to me the game this Sunday.
• 46:20
  The game this Sunday determines if we're just a good team you
• 46:26
  know sweet 16 Elite eight or if this team has a final four
• 46:30
  running because Notre, Dame's women team is essentially one of
• 46:35
  the elite women's teams in the country.
• 46:37
  I think they have one loss to share their number six or number
• 46:40
  five in the country. I mean, there's your test, you
• 46:44
  go out there and win that game. That is a signature.
• 46:47
  Win for Kevin Brooks. It's a signature win for the
• 46:49
  program. But that also puts people on
• 46:51
  notice that this team can win a National Championship this year.
• 46:56
  Yeah, I mean we're on, they're on the cusp, it's closed.
• 47:00
  They're, you know, they may not be a favor to do it but they're
• 47:04
  certainly putting themselves in the Dark Horse category,
• 47:07
  abso-freaking-lutely. All right.
• 47:09
  Brian. Um, one more thing before we hit
• 47:13
  the break here and you know, if everybody in the college
• 47:17
  football World had been paying attention You know, Mike Leach
• 47:21
  passed away today. and, You know, if you ever watched
• 47:30
  interviews with the guy, I mean, it wasn't going to be about
• 47:34
  football off time. It was gonna be about some
• 47:37
  random things and make you chuckle.
• 47:38
  Make you laugh. You know, they were showing
• 47:41
  different interviews. I forgot 60 Minutes interview
• 47:45
  him like 12 years ago. Yep.
• 47:48
  You always kind of wonder how that Scott Pelley.
• 47:51
  Felt when he'll go interview Mike Leach as a football coach,
• 47:54
  this will be easy. What?
• 47:58
  But, you know, I don't think there's a topic that you could
• 48:02
  bring up that he couldn't say something about that was either
• 48:07
  thought provoking or mine fucking what just hilarious or
• 48:12
  just a larious. The whole thing about the, the
• 48:15
  marriage thing, if you've ever seen, you seen the marriage when
• 48:18
  he had up at y Zu, right? Yeah.
• 48:21
  When we talked about, oh my God, that's just, it's just
• 48:24
  hilarious. Hilarious.
• 48:25
  Arius and obviously you know as much as he was a personality he
• 48:29
  was himself. The guy was also a supreme
• 48:32
  intellect, the guy got his JD from Pepperdine.
• 48:35
  The guy was smart and if we talked about it we've talked
• 48:39
  about we're in a day and age where everything is as common as
• 48:44
  which bone was to our high school Youth and he was the guy
• 48:48
  that did it. How money was the guy who
• 48:51
  brought it to the mainstream, Mike Leach, made it work in the
• 48:55
  Moon. Great.
• 48:56
  What he did at Texas Tech and what he did everywhere because
• 49:00
  everywhere he went the program's got better with that offensive
• 49:03
  system then. Yeah.
• 49:06
  And took the non-traditional roads some would say because he
• 49:10
  had to and some would say because he wanted to and I'd
• 49:13
  probably both are a little bit true.
• 49:17
  Absolutely. And you know he was a character
• 49:20
  and you know in we were talking with our our buddy Rob e Compton
• 49:24
  today. Our coach buddy and Robbie
• 49:28
  actually got the opportunity long time ago when he was
• 49:31
  coaching at our high school called up.
• 49:34
  They were trying to implement some Airaid Concepts to what
• 49:38
  they did called up. Texas Tech said, hey we want to
• 49:42
  come see you guys and him and David techie who's got?
• 49:47
  He's ahead, he's brought that tribe.
• 49:49
  His head coach building Wilkesboro, they got a chance to
• 49:53
  go out there for a week and spend time.
• 49:55
  Lucina staff at Texas Tech to understand those Concepts and
• 49:59
  this was probably one of the coolest things that happened.
• 50:03
  Ron, you know, you saw Robbie talk to us because he was like,
• 50:06
  what story. There was more than one, Mike
• 50:08
  Lee Story Robbie had. So he got to meet them.
• 50:12
  And this was Lincoln, Riley was on staff.
• 50:13
  Ruffin McNeil was on staff. So he got to the front Robbie.
• 50:16
  And Dave, got to know those guys.
• 50:18
  And then they coach these see you right?
• 50:19
  In their backyard when they were down in Greenville, North
• 50:22
  Carolina coaching. And, but when he told us about
• 50:25
  what, Was really cool. Is they were an AFC, a clinic.
• 50:28
  And for those who don't know, afca is the American football
• 50:32
  coaches association. They have big clinics every
• 50:35
  year. They could send February says
• 50:37
  right after the season wraps, so if you're a lot of High School
• 50:41
  coaches, get together these a lot of them take the time to go
• 50:43
  because you're in seminars, everything.
• 50:46
  I don't know if it was always in Orlando, with this one was in
• 50:48
  Orlando. Correct?
• 50:49
  I think this one was in Orlando. Yeah, it was in Orlando.
• 50:53
  I'm looking at the message Robbie sent us here.
• 50:55
  And so they go there and they run across coach Leach and he
• 51:01
  called him over. So first of all, these are two
• 51:05
  guys from a small, High School in southern rural Virginia.
• 51:09
  One of the most well-known is Collegiate football.
• 51:11
  Coaches waves, you over at this conference in from there he took
• 51:16
  them. This is like a, who's who's
• 51:18
  list? He wouldn't introduce them to
• 51:20
  Gary Patterson. Vinnie introduced him to Bob
• 51:23
  Stoops at Oklahoma. Then he introduced him to Matt
• 51:26
  Brown, they got to hang out with Ruffin and Lincoln a little bit
• 51:29
  who were on the staff at that time.
• 51:31
  Even more at the AFC, a conference.
• 51:34
  But here is the funny part and this is where it's like, Mike
• 51:37
  Leach. So as he's introducing, our
• 51:43
  buddy, Robbie and go to a techie.
• 51:45
  He told all the coaches, these guys are from South Boston.
• 51:50
  The one in Virginia, not the one up north, where they whack
• 51:54
  people, and I think that's a perfect summation of whom my
• 51:57
  cleavage. Number one, the fact that he
• 52:03
  recall that information from previous interactions with
• 52:08
  again, you know, to High School coaches that he came across, you
• 52:12
  know, one time before that, that's impressive. the
• 52:20
  interjection of the humor there is, is impressive, you know,
• 52:25
  this, this is probably right around the time when You know.
• 52:32
  Some movies like Mystic River. Probably just came out.
• 52:36
  Arted little card in probably just came out.
• 52:39
  Yes, so But yeah, it's one of those things where you get the
• 52:44
  story like that and its people ever.
• 52:46
  If people everywhere to question and say I'm not look that Mike
• 52:50
  Leach has stuff that doesn't seem real like nope, we have
• 52:53
  someone that met him. They could confirm what you saw
• 52:57
  was what you got. Rest in Peach coach leech, you
• 53:01
  will be missed for your humor for, you know, just your
• 53:07
  creativity man. And it's a great coach going way
• 53:10
  too soon, right? Yep.
• 53:12
  You change the game and you did it with the smile on your face
• 53:15
  and he put a smile on everybody else's.
• 53:16
  So rest in peace. Yes sir.
• 53:18
  All right before we get into some more topics tonight, we are
• 53:21
  going to take a quick pause for a message from our digital
• 53:24

  Dash report. Now back to the episode.
• 53:48
  All right Brian so we definitely have some other things we want
• 53:50
  to talk about just college football related and obviously
• 53:54
  since we last Out a boatload. A boatload of coaching hires
• 54:01
  have taken place in. We're going to focus, just on a
• 54:05
  handful, but I want to mention the other ones that have gotten
• 54:10
  hired. I think one, that definitely
• 54:14
  surprised me. I don't know if it's a prized.
• 54:16
  You was Troy Taylor out of Sacramento State.
• 54:18
  The FCS programs gets to call to go over to Stanford.
• 54:22
  Did not see that coming and all At all, at all.
• 54:27
  But did you know that Roy Taylor on your list for Santa boy?
• 54:33
  Taylor was out on my short list for anywhere, let alone.
• 54:35
  Stanford, all right, so he goes there and that's no disrespect
• 54:39
  to him. I mean, I think it still They
• 54:42
  wonder if it's a it's interesting, I don't think it's
• 54:45
  a bad hire, it's an interesting higher.
• 54:47
  Well, they did this previously they did this previously, is
• 54:52
  they did this with harbach because Harbaugh was at San
• 54:55
  Diego, which was an FCS program in the state of California.
• 54:59
  The difference is everyone who the hell Jim Harbaugh was,
• 55:02
  nobody knows. He'll Troy Taylor is so it's
• 55:05
  like we're going the same route, but this time we have no
• 55:08
  notoriety. It's just a good football coach.
• 55:10
  And from, you know, the looks of State, he is a good football
• 55:14
  coach so there's that one now, a couple of the other ones.
• 55:18
  Let's roll these out. USF.
• 55:21
  Takes Alice goldish. The Tennessee EOC will be very
• 55:25
  interesting to see if that affects the Tennessee offense.
• 55:29
  Any sense heiple does have his hands.
• 55:31
  So involved, I also find it. Interesting.
• 55:34
  UCF goes down, the route of coordinator with really good
• 55:38
  offense again the Jeff Scott hire from Clemson.
• 55:41
  Absolutely will. It's trash and I don't think
• 55:45
  he's a trash coach. I just don't think some guys are
• 55:47
  cut out to be head coaches. Was FAU shocking to you with Tom
• 55:54
  Herman. Or is it just one of those he's
• 55:56
  reintroducing himself? I thought it was.
• 56:01
  I thought he could have done better but I think it's a it's a
• 56:06
  good. If he wants to get back into
• 56:09
  more of a blue blood program quicker.
• 56:16
  This is probably the better route than taking a risk on a
• 56:19
  Level P5. And if you fail, you pretty
• 56:22
  much, said, yourself back a good ways, coordinator forever, when
• 56:28
  that happens coordinator for everyone that happens.
• 56:31
  Um, Kevin Wilson leaves will be leaving Ohio State to head down
• 56:34
  to Tulsa. He has been in an offensive
• 56:36
  coordinator there for a while. He also had been a head coach at
• 56:41
  Indiana. Sounds like, second swipe at
• 56:45
  second swipe at, you know, a head coaching job.
• 56:49
  Obviously, I was watching Tulsa closely they didn't they didn't
• 56:54
  do it, I think they do. But, you know, it is what it is.
• 56:59
  I mean I'm just being real. How about this, how about this
• 57:02
  one for you? How about this one for you UAB
• 57:04
  hires Trent Dilfer has been coaching High School.
• 57:09
  Is you a be trying to find the white Beyond?
• 57:17
  Wait now because if they were trying to do that they would try
• 57:20
  to hire like Peyton or somebody not you know drought Trent
• 57:25
  Dilfer not the guy that literally what is it?
• 57:31
  Trent Dilfer is a game manager though.
• 57:34
  He wasn't gay manager. I mean he's always had some good
• 57:36
  insights on the board's. Next few here want to talk about
• 57:41
  just hit before we hit kind of the ones that are really
• 57:43
  affecting that or I see more affecting the Hokies Lance
• 57:48
  Taylor, the running back coach for Notre Dame takes Western
• 57:51
  Michigan. You know, he's the Run game
• 57:56
  coordinator there, so not even an OC yet.
• 57:59
  I mean I guess some guys it's just and I don't know where
• 58:02
  lands Taylor from, so maybe he's from that area and it's just one
• 58:05
  of those. I'm going to take the chance.
• 58:08
  They'll know, it's a head coaching job.
• 58:12
  Here's the name and I'm very shocked by this Barry.
• 58:15
  Odom. Went to UNLV.
• 58:17
  He is recently in Arkansas. I know they had a six and six
• 58:20
  season but kind of shocking to see him go that direction to a
• 58:25
  program like UNLV which is you know, the old guy was there had
• 58:31
  a couple okay Seasons but it's not like one of those.
• 58:33
  It's not like a San Diego State or like a program like that out.
• 58:38
  The west where you feel like, you know, they can they can get
• 58:40
  up pretty quick and be good. And that's not to say UNLV can't
• 58:45
  and hasn't it's just it's not as ready.
• 58:48
  Made of a situation for a guy, like Barry Odom.
• 58:56
  You know, we'll see if that ends up working out.
• 59:01
  It's definitely a different path and he took last time.
• 59:03
  So, you know, you kind of see, see how that works out for him.
• 59:08
  True true. All right.
• 59:10
  And with that, Let's go to the ones that I think are could one
• 59:16
  that could have been impactful and the others that will be
• 59:19
  impactful. The one that could have been
• 59:22
  impactful if he had taken. Any potentially any job that was
• 59:31
  open the Louisville. The Georgia Tech's etc.
• 59:35
  Etc. East Coast ACC or adjacent
• 59:40
  School Deion Sanders who goes to Colorado.
• 59:45
  And anybody can talk about all the stuff he said.
• 59:48
  That's that is what it is. I think a lot of those things
• 59:52
  take place like that when coaches get places.
• 59:54
  I just think he's got publicizing it but him and
• 59:59
  Colorado, I mean, you discussed this brine And it's if he goes
• 1:00:06
  and wins in Colorado, if he just wins four games next year and he
• 1:00:09
  gets up to eight games in year 2 year, 3, what's going to happen?
• 1:00:14
  He's going to get Blueblood offers quickly.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, this is essentially I think a three-year plan for him
• 1:00:21
  and Colorado. I think he just has to make a
• 1:00:25
  bowl year, two and three. If he gets if he gets that that
• 1:00:31
  team as awful as it was this past season to a bowl in year-2
• 1:00:34
  and year-3 especially if you're in a seven or eight win team in
• 1:00:38
  year three. Yeah I mean they're going to
• 1:00:40
  come calling. Yeah and to me I think this is
• 1:00:43
  why he took that That job too. I don't think Dianna needs
• 1:00:47
  money. I think Dion between
• 1:00:48
  endorsements and playing two sports for basically close to
• 1:00:51
  ten years as the pay scales were starting to go up in those
• 1:00:54
  Sports. I don't think he needs the
• 1:00:56
  money, but I think what he saw as if I've also been an analyst
• 1:00:59
  make it, which I mean, the money in that game is risen
• 1:01:02
  significantly. So, you know, he's been making
• 1:01:03
  good money there to between NFL Network in Barstool.
• 1:01:06
  I mean, you know, he's making good money doing that stuff
• 1:01:09
  before you jumped over to Jackson State.
• 1:01:11
  But I think it's this is a program where he looks and says
• 1:01:13
  there. Nothing expected.
• 1:01:16
  And by that he could say, even if I went three or four games
• 1:01:19
  next chamber, like all your failure, I'm turning this
• 1:01:21
  program around, I'm building it, but he knows if he can make it a
• 1:01:25
  quick turn around. He's going to get a Blueblood
• 1:01:28
  offer. Who knows what that might be?
• 1:01:30
  I think just for our sake, he did not go to a more mid-level
• 1:01:34
  ACC school like we were about to discuss because also thankfully
• 1:01:40
  Mike Norvell had a good season. Well, but but let's let's,
• 1:01:46
  let's, let's talk about that real quick.
• 1:01:48
  If Florida State goes and hires him, okay, if Florida State goes
• 1:01:55
  at hiring, I mean, it's more of a trickle down for us than it is
• 1:01:58
  an immediate sure because if he steps in somewhere, like
• 1:02:02
  Louisville or Georgia Tech, I mean that's immediately he's
• 1:02:07
  going to be feeding off the Blue Bloods while stealing from
• 1:02:12
  similar level programs like Tech.
• 1:02:14
  Yeah. And that's where like, that's
• 1:02:16
  the one that worries you Colorado.
• 1:02:18
  You feel like it's going to be more of a California tears.
• 1:02:23
  And just saying, FSU eats at a higher level of the food chain
• 1:02:26
  than we're, we're doing and they do.
• 1:02:28
  They do? They do they do I won't even if
• 1:02:32
  anybody wants argue about that, let's argue about it.
• 1:02:35
  That's just the way I feel now. The next one I want to talk
• 1:02:41
  about and I think you're pretty excited when this guy got hired
• 1:02:45
  because you've watched his offense a few times and, you
• 1:02:47
  know, we can prepare for and that's Liberty hiring Jamie
• 1:02:50
  Chadwell out of coastal. Chadwell who'd been getting a
• 1:02:54
  lot of Buzz. Basically gets a five times pay
• 1:02:57
  bump. Yep.
• 1:02:59
  To go to Liberty Hill be eventually in Conference USA.
• 1:03:05
  So its it's like a, it's a lateral move, it's a lateral.
• 1:03:09
  Move, the Only thing you'll say, you getting paid more and he's
• 1:03:12
  in a less competitive conference at the same level.
• 1:03:15
  So same Prestige, less competitive and expectation.
• 1:03:20
  Why's he doesn't have to win 10 games every year anymore.
• 1:03:25
  Sure, you can win seven or eight and they'll probably still be
• 1:03:29
  happy, very true. But as far as the Hokey goes to
• 1:03:33
  hook, he's going to be playing this team for the foreseeable
• 1:03:36
  future. Unfortunately both in Blacksburg
• 1:03:39
  In Lynchburg you mentioned to me about looking at it like you
• 1:03:44
  were like the day Hugh, freeze went to Auburn.
• 1:03:46
  It was like, thank God. No more preparing for that shit.
• 1:03:50
  Yeah, it's like you look. Chadwell's offenses, like we can
• 1:03:53
  control this How do you oh, do you can control it?
• 1:03:57
  I think we, I think we can control that if if only you can
• 1:04:00
  control it and look at the strategy that ogod you put out
• 1:04:05
  there, get that offense and check was able to do more
• 1:04:09
  offensively than I think a lot of people expected against them.
• 1:04:12
  I think the the the blueprint is kind of out there on on what
• 1:04:19
  Coastal is doing now. True me what Chadwell was doing
• 1:04:22
  at kostal, it's going to Interested to see if.
• 1:04:27
  If Grace and follows him, that's fine because Grace is because
• 1:04:31
  got one year left, right? Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:04:35
  I think the bigger thing about this and I think for us, it's
• 1:04:38
  more of a, not a sigh of relief and it's Assad relief breathe.
• 1:04:42
  But what he was doing was he was essentially taking division, one
• 1:04:47
  guys and because he was Hugh freeze.
• 1:04:50
  He could recruit them to Liberty without an issue, right?
• 1:04:53
  Yeah, not an issue. Come here.
• 1:04:54
  Play for me. I can develop you.
• 1:04:55
  I can get you moved on. On to bigger and better things.
• 1:04:59
  I don't think Chad Wells. Got that cloud.
• 1:05:01
  I think Chad Wells going to have them recruiting both.
• 1:05:06
  For high school and portal where they should be.
• 1:05:10
  We're Hugh freeze has been well above their pay grade for the
• 1:05:13
  last few seasons. Hugh freeze made his hay in the
• 1:05:16
  portal Chadwell is going to be all about, just like he was at
• 1:05:20
  Coastal. Taking guys that are to and low
• 1:05:24
  three-star guys, and getting more out of them because they
• 1:05:29
  can operate well within this system.
• 1:05:32
  Absolutely, by the way, there's one other thing here.
• 1:05:35
  I didn't know. About this and it's not Netflix
• 1:05:40
  Robbie into Luke. It's a Hulu series that it's
• 1:05:42
  talking about Liberty. They are so Jamie Chadwell in
• 1:05:48
  the Hulu series. All right, let's go there Pool,
• 1:05:51
  Boys. Involved potentially, he wasn't
• 1:05:54
  Myrtle Beach man. So I mean the last two I want to
• 1:05:58
  do so that semen. The last two I want to hit
• 1:06:01
  tonight. Sign of interchangeable is
• 1:06:05
  Scott's Satterfield leaves Louisville to go to Cincinnati.
• 1:06:10
  Thus opening the door and allowing Jeff Brahman.
• 1:06:14
  Let's start with Satterfield first.
• 1:06:15
  I think Satterfield just felt the Heat.
• 1:06:19
  I think Cincinnati wants Luke fickle left.
• 1:06:21
  They knew they needed to get a proven P5.
• 1:06:24
  Head coach as they make this transition over to the Big 12
• 1:06:28
  and I think for him it's like well now my ass is not on the
• 1:06:31
  hot seat anymore. I'm going to go and that's all
• 1:06:34
  it was if he was off the hot seat he was all thoughts eat
• 1:06:40
  enough where he would get this type of offer and he struck
• 1:06:43
  while the iron's hot. And I mean, he's probably safe
• 1:06:48
  room of us wouldn't have done that.
• 1:06:51
  A lot of people wouldn't, but he know, he's now safe to four to
• 1:06:53
  five years for them. They know that he's a quality
• 1:06:56
  coach. Is he gonna blow the doors off
• 1:06:58
  of Everybody? Probably not.
• 1:07:00
  But is he gonna be able to settle them into the Big 12?
• 1:07:02
  Yeah, he's got a solid floor. Yeah.
• 1:07:06
  They they they know what that transition.
• 1:07:08
  He's talking they're not going to enter there and he's going to
• 1:07:09
  be god-awful, he will keep them at least above that kind of
• 1:07:13
  forward to five when fret. Threshold it might miss a bowl
• 1:07:17
  but it's not going to be by more than one game or so exactly.
• 1:07:21
  But when that happened, unfortunately and I do not like
• 1:07:25
  this, I do not like this at all. He is not a great recruiter, but
• 1:07:29
  the guy can Coach Jeff brohm to Louisville.
• 1:07:33
  Should have everybody's ears perked because we saw him, you
• 1:07:38
  know, we saw him knock off of how State we saw him hanging
• 1:07:41
  with some of the big boys when he was at Purdue including the
• 1:07:45
  In championship game where they took Michigan to the third
• 1:07:48
  quarter with the game, that guy knows what he's doing.
• 1:07:52
  He knows how to coach, quarterbacks, it's not, like I'm
• 1:07:56
  so scared of him. But, you know, now the next time
• 1:08:01
  we play Louisville, it's going to be a damn fight because of
• 1:08:04
  how good of a coach is. My question is, you know, you
• 1:08:08
  tell me what you think. I'm not sure why.
• 1:08:12
  Jeff brohm took this move. Its alma mater, man.
• 1:08:18
  It's all. That's all.
• 1:08:19
  That's the only thing I can feel because I said and best there,
• 1:08:27
  it's a parallel boov. And if you look at the other
• 1:08:31
  intangible factors like Meteorites, and things like
• 1:08:37
  that. It's a step down.
• 1:08:39
  It is and but it's, I think it's going home.
• 1:08:42
  I think he knows he goes there, he's got more leeway.
• 1:08:48
  And he probably has about the same amount of leeway in Purdue,
• 1:08:51
  but I think it's just one of those things he played there,
• 1:08:54
  probably a harder path to a championship game to at
• 1:08:58
  Louisville, so problem. Well, I don't know.
• 1:09:02
  I've been with without divisions.
• 1:09:05
  Willow. No.
• 1:09:07
  But the Big Ten is going in the direction of having no
• 1:09:09
  divisions. Now.
• 1:09:11
  Sure, but I mean it's still a harder path.
• 1:09:15
  I guess. I just think it's one of those
• 1:09:17
  home things. I think it's one of those.
• 1:09:19
  He wanted to probably go back home.
• 1:09:20
  I mean, Brom isn't a spring chicken by any means.
• 1:09:24
  I mean Bronze in his early 50s, he's probably, he's been
• 1:09:28
  coaching. I mean, he played essentially
• 1:09:31
  for seven years and he's been coaching for almost 20 He's
• 1:09:35
  basically been coaching since he was in his 30s.
• 1:09:40
  Maybe it's one of those if I win here silently.
• 1:09:43
  They're going to keep me around 10 years and I can retire.
• 1:09:46
  I'm interested to see if Brian Braun comes as his brother did
• 1:09:50
  coaching with him and staff. Everybody knows Ryan Braun.
• 1:09:53
  That poor guy took the absolute biggest worst beating I've ever
• 1:09:56
  seen a quarterback. Take when the hook is play them
• 1:09:59
  in the Gator Bowl about 16 years ago.
• 1:10:01
  We just shit out of him. Absolute shit.
• 1:10:04
  Yeah. Yeah, like watching that game,
• 1:10:09
  it got to a point where it's just like I mean I'm glad we're
• 1:10:12
  beating their ass. But there's your coaching
• 1:10:21
  Carousel. Purdue still open, obviously,
• 1:10:24
  with the passing of my cleats. You know, Mississippi state will
• 1:10:26
  be open, will be interesting to see what they do.
• 1:10:29
  But that pretty much I think that went a lot faster than
• 1:10:32
  anyone expected. It seems like has got locked in
• 1:10:37
  and fuck. The next thing you know, just
• 1:10:39
  about everything filled up in the in the game of headsets.
• 1:10:48
  So let me go real quick and I know we don't have them all up
• 1:10:50
  here, but who is since we've pretty much rounded it out, best
• 1:10:55
  tire of the bunch. I mean, best tire.
• 1:11:03
  It's got to be Colorado. I mean, I think trajectory wise
• 1:11:08
  that's going to put them back in in the discussion.
• 1:11:11
  And within two years, I'd say close s going to be Louisville
• 1:11:17
  with Jeff brohm. All right.
• 1:11:18
  Well, I should have said, what we talked about the original set
• 1:11:21
  to because I'm still thank you for Reese.
• 1:11:24
  I think freeze to Auburn is still the biggest, the best one
• 1:11:28
  because he knows we can't out there.
• 1:11:30
  When we haven't talked about that, we talked about Purdue Oh,
• 1:11:33
  did they hire somebody today? Ryan Walters Ryan.
• 1:11:38
  Walters why does that name sound familiar DC for Illinois?
• 1:11:43
  But that thing sounds really familiar.
• 1:11:45
  All this is a new and this is breaking Brian focusing.
• 1:11:50
  Here, Ryan Walters a 36-year old, where did he play of the in
• 1:11:56
  the league or anything? Well, you played it Colorado.
• 1:12:01
  Um, I don't know how I feel on this one.
• 1:12:07
  I mean, I mean with us playing Purdue to start that season.
• 1:12:11
  I'm glad I've got it. They do have a defense, so be,
• 1:12:15
  we're going to get it. I mean, he is good on defense, I
• 1:12:18
  should say, I don't know if we'll see, Purdue playing that
• 1:12:20
  stat of Defense out the gate, but I mean, he's definitely
• 1:12:23
  somebody that can come in. And with, with the pieces they
• 1:12:26
  have. I think their defense are going
• 1:12:27
  to maybe causes some Problems. But we'll see, we'll see.
• 1:12:32
  But they just lost an offensive Guru that kept them in games so
• 1:12:36
  they will see how it goes there. All right, Brian, let's hit this
• 1:12:40
  real quick. Few things on this.
• 1:12:44
  Did you applaud the committee about eight days ago when they
• 1:12:49
  announced Georgia Ohio State in the Peach Bowl?
• 1:12:53
  Michigan, TCU in the Fiesta Bowl?
• 1:12:56
  Yeah, they got it, right. If you're going to be, you're
• 1:13:01
  going to pick for they got it right?
• 1:13:03
  Alright. Can I ask you this?
• 1:13:06
  If the Rose Bowl hadn't committed to 2024, would they
• 1:13:10
  have done something stupid? Divorce tactful maybe, maybe
• 1:13:17
  political flag. Let's just irritates the shit
• 1:13:20
  out of some. Well I mean I think we said it
• 1:13:22
  we said you know whether they put Alabama in or out it was
• 1:13:25
  going to cause a Ruckus and I think would cause more of a
• 1:13:29
  Ruckus if they put them in and then leaving them out.
• 1:13:32
  Absolutely. Maybe.
• 1:13:35
  You look at the resumes, it just didn't make sense to put Alabama
• 1:13:38
  in there. Like I test be damned, you still
• 1:13:41
  have to play the games yourself to win the games, being a having
• 1:13:44
  good losses, doesn't matter if you didn't win anything.
• 1:13:47
  Well, my best piece was watching Sabin on on that Saturday night.
• 1:13:54
  I didn't get to see it all. That's all Clips.
• 1:13:56
  We'd be favored in Vegas. You're also favorite against LSU
• 1:13:59
  and Tennessee and you didn't win those games, so you still have
• 1:14:04
  to win the game. Are in front of you.
• 1:14:07
  I mean, we don't we don't just play this game on paper.
• 1:14:10
  So you should play the game on paper.
• 1:14:12
  You'd be the national champion every year or every other year
• 1:14:16
  touche touche does the baby George and maybe Ohio State
• 1:14:19
  sneaking their year to year because they might have a little
• 1:14:22
  bit of better class or the combination of classes might be
• 1:14:25
  a hair better than Alabama's a given year.
• 1:14:28
  But most years give or take, it's going to be Alabama right
• 1:14:31
  there, right? So That's why we play the games.
• 1:14:37
  That is why we play the games. If you, I said it in the Tweet,
• 1:14:41
  if you want to be in and you don't want to have to have this
• 1:14:46
  conversation, Then win enough games where you're not sitting
• 1:14:50
  at home during your conference Championship, especially with
• 1:14:54
  two losses and they wouldn't have been there either way this
• 1:14:57
  year, regardless, if they were divisions are not in the SEC
• 1:15:01
  which I think the SEC is getting rid of them soon too.
• 1:15:03
  All right New Year's Eve. I'm sure you're going to be
• 1:15:08
  making a big spread. Getting a good Bible.
• 1:15:11
  Which game are you looking more forward to You know what, I
• 1:15:18
  think Michigan TCU is going to be more interesting to me, okay?
• 1:15:25
  Because I think, TCU can score, Michigan.
• 1:15:30
  You can stop. We'll see what, where the, where
• 1:15:36
  the rubber meets the road there? I think the difference is going
• 1:15:39
  to be Michigan's rushing attack. I think it's just going to be
• 1:15:44
  too much and that that offensive line is a bunch of monsters.
• 1:15:48
  Including you know they got the Remington us all.
• 1:15:50
  Oh, I got one Remington and Nagurski, right?
• 1:15:55
  I think so. No, we won the Remington the
• 1:15:56
  center. I mean I'm more interested to
• 1:16:00
  see this I'm more interested to see if Ohio State can actually
• 1:16:05
  hit their potential. Because I don't think they've
• 1:16:09
  hit their potential all year on either side of the ball and now
• 1:16:12
  they've been get. They've been reprieved.
• 1:16:14
  This is 2014 again. They've been reprieved, they're
• 1:16:18
  playing a southern team. In their backyard that has a
• 1:16:23
  very good defense but a game manager at quarterback.
• 1:16:28
  We all remember how that game when 2014 when Alabama, lay left
• 1:16:33
  crushed in the Sugar Bowl, so we'll see.
• 1:16:38
  I'm actually I'm just looking forward to both of them and you
• 1:16:41
  know, eating good food, having a good drink.
• 1:16:45
  All right, so we just kind of mentioned this a few minutes ago
• 1:16:49
  with the Rose Bowl who have amended their contract and it's
• 1:16:52
  finally happening 2024, we will have 12 teams playoff and
• 1:17:01
  looking at it too. I think it's also going to be
• 1:17:05
  just eyeballing where the championship game is it is going
• 1:17:09
  to be a return of importance to New Year's Eve and New Year's
• 1:17:12
  Day. I think it's going to go back to
• 1:17:14
  like, when we were kids we're in there were games those days, it
• 1:17:20
  was implicating National Championship type stuff.
• 1:17:25
  Yeah, I think that's the big thing is that you're going to
• 1:17:27
  see New Year's Eve New Year's Day those games.
• 1:17:31
  Not just matter. Now again but they matter.
• 1:17:34
  In terms of the big picture, the big picture that's going to be
• 1:17:37
  quarterfinal games. Yep.
• 1:17:39
  Honest-to-god believe that. And it's a return to glory to me
• 1:17:42
  for those days because I remember as a kid you kind of
• 1:17:45
  would there would always be that New Year's Eve night game.
• 1:17:49
  That was of some importance of some importance.
• 1:17:53
  Yep. The New Year's Day you Had the
• 1:17:55
  rose, the sugar, the fiesta all over the place.
• 1:17:58
  But the reason I say that and people are like, why are you
• 1:18:01
  saying this? We haven't heard the schedule
• 1:18:03
  yet, but one thing we know already in the soon as they drop
• 1:18:07
  this, I called Brian meet him, talk about 30 minutes on the
• 1:18:11
  championship game is on the 20th.
• 1:18:13
  That is effectively two weeks later.
• 1:18:18
  Later than it has been being roughly.
• 1:18:23
  If that's the case, when are you going to be the home dates?
• 1:18:27
  The home dates would likely Fall like on this weekend?
• 1:18:30
  It would be the first weekend of bowl season.
• 1:18:34
  My every year, we'll talk about in a few minutes here.
• 1:18:38
  We're going to pick some of the games real quick. 16th and 17th
• 1:18:41
  are your first big bowl games. My bet in two years that
• 1:18:46
  weekend, which is the 20 and 21st that's going to be your
• 1:18:49
  home playing games. Because then okay, you're going
• 1:18:54
  to give everybody, you're not going to change Conference
• 1:18:56
  Championship week, right? But everybody's going to know
• 1:18:59
  and roughly have two weeks to prepare whether whether it's
• 1:19:02
  fans buying tickets teams, making travel Arrangements, etc,
• 1:19:06
  etc. Did you get the Army-Navy game?
• 1:19:10
  Then it's this. Right?
• 1:19:13
  It's this perfect sequence and then obviously, New Year's Day
• 1:19:18
  quarterfinal games and then what did I show you Brian about when
• 1:19:24
  I think the semis would be and you started looking Doug and
• 1:19:26
  you're like crap that that actually makes freaking sense.
• 1:19:32
  Yeah, I mean, I think we're looking at what we said.
• 1:19:35
  Kind of that. What was it like eight or nine
• 1:19:39
  to 14 day window between kind of each round depending on where
• 1:19:44
  New Year's was falling? Yeah.
• 1:19:48
  But when we looked at it, the last weekend of the NFL season,
• 1:19:52
  in which everybody knows last week in the nfc's and Brian are
• 1:19:55
  there. Thursday night games.
• 1:19:57
  No. Are there Saturday night games?
• 1:20:00
  No other Monday night games? No, it's one day, everything on
• 1:20:06
  Sunday, everything's on Sunday. And if you look at the way it's
• 1:20:10
  going, I think they're going to be targeting that Saturday every
• 1:20:15
  year, because there's no, Petition with the NFL.
• 1:20:18
  But for casual football, fans, who are getting prepared for the
• 1:20:21
  last weekend away saying it's two of the biggest cotton and
• 1:20:24
  college. Football games right here,
• 1:20:26
  probably at 4:30 and 8:00 on a Saturday night.
• 1:20:29
  In the middle of January with nothing else to do.
• 1:20:32
  Yep. And then roughly, after that
• 1:20:34
  happens, you roughly have about what a nine-day window until the
• 1:20:37
  national championship game. Exactly.
• 1:20:40
  So they're your boy in the NFL. Yep.
• 1:20:44
  So we're looking at, I think we said seven, eight eight to
• 1:20:47
  twelve between each round in there, like, depending on where
• 1:20:51
  that that New Year's Day falls and that's going to be big
• 1:20:57
  because it's going to give give them an opportunity.
• 1:20:59
  Like you said to have full reign of a Saturday again.
• 1:21:06
  No competition from the NFL, you got your own day there, it's on
• 1:21:10
  a weekend. You can have like a three or
• 1:21:15
  five and then have your 8:00 or 8:30.
• 1:21:17
  Yeah, but it's all yours and it can be a build up.
• 1:21:21
  There can be a huge game day at both locations.
• 1:21:24
  You know, these are going to be bowl games and that does sort of
• 1:21:30
  stink a little bit because You know, but that is what it is.
• 1:21:38
  But again, I think just looking at 10,000 feet.
• 1:21:41
  It's like this perfect here here here here and it's four games in
• 1:21:46
  a month. But with enough break time in
• 1:21:49
  between for each for the players to essentially, get the
• 1:21:51
  appropriate amount of rest you're not going on a five-day
• 1:21:53
  short week. Everything's going to be thought
• 1:21:55
  out and maybe in the future they move the game back to like a
• 1:21:58
  Thursday, which would make sense, because I hate Monday
• 1:22:00
  night games. It kills you, unless it's your
• 1:22:03
  team playing. All right, Brian.
• 1:22:07
  Let's make some bold picks because Friday afternoon.
• 1:22:10
  They start. We are glad they do.
• 1:22:14
  We are glutton for punishment. Let's hit up here.
• 1:22:17
  The Bahamas Bowl. I don't know how this bowl.
• 1:22:21
  Doesn't get more Fanfare because it's the Bahamas in December.
• 1:22:24
  It's like 80 it's Breezy. It's nice.
• 1:22:27
  It's Miami of Ohio versus UAB. I'll leave this one.
• 1:22:32
  I have no clue but I'm I'm trying to trim gel for manages
• 1:22:36
  games and that team that team is going to manage a win to impress
• 1:22:42
  their new head coach. Yeah, I'm gonna go UAB as well.
• 1:22:49
  I think they get it done. It feels right, it just feels
• 1:22:52
  right now. The next one is actually a bit
• 1:22:56
  more interesting and to me of that first weekend it might be
• 1:23:00
  the most interesting bowl game. It's the Cure Bowl on Friday
• 1:23:03
  night with the 25th ranked UTSA roadrunners versus number. 24.
• 1:23:09
  Troy CT. UTSA wins a Conference USA
• 1:23:13
  championship. Ian ship, Troy wins the Sun
• 1:23:15
  Belt. What do you think on this one?
• 1:23:18
  Brian? Because you feel like these are
• 1:23:20
  two very well-coached football teams.
• 1:23:21
  Both with I think double digit wins already.
• 1:23:25
  I feel like it's going to be a good game just because of, you
• 1:23:29
  know, you know the this the level of competition for both.
• 1:23:34
  Yeah, I think it's gonna be a good game but give meteoroid,
• 1:23:38
  I'm gonna take Troy here, they finished the season as good as
• 1:23:43
  Team at the G5 level, okay? And as as good as as a lot of
• 1:23:51
  teams could in the country altogether but the way they
• 1:23:54
  finished the season, I think they're going to they're going
• 1:23:56
  to close about take care of business.
• 1:23:59
  All right I'm gonna I'm gonna go against you here Jeff trailer
• 1:24:02
  down at UTSA that a guy who legitimately had coached High
• 1:24:06
  School football for like 20 plus years and then just UTSA.
• 1:24:10
  Hey do you want this college job?
• 1:24:12
  He takes it. He's been sick.
• 1:24:13
  Successful. There the whole time.
• 1:24:16
  His only two losses this year are Houston and Texas and the
• 1:24:21
  Texas game was legitimately a game.
• 1:24:23
  Until the late third, quarter beat some really good teams in
• 1:24:28
  Conference USA dominated. Most of them dominated their
• 1:24:33
  conference Championship game so I think UTSA takes it just to be
• 1:24:38
  contrary and just so you know watching it's a Friday night
• 1:24:42
  when you're wrong. You're You're wrong.
• 1:24:44
  I hope so. On Saturday, a slate full of
• 1:24:49
  game. Six bowls.
• 1:24:51
  Everybody says, why do they keep bowl games on they suck.
• 1:24:56
  But you know what? People are going to do Saturday.
• 1:24:59
  They're going it's cold outside. If they have shopping to do,
• 1:25:03
  they're going to get it done in the morning, then they're going
• 1:25:05
  to come back and they're going to crack a beer open.
• 1:25:08
  Pour it pour a little glass of a little mixture there and they're
• 1:25:12
  going to sit their ass on the couch and they're going to watch
• 1:25:15
  bowl games. All stinking day and it starts
• 1:25:20
  with the Fenway Bowl Louisville versus Cincinnati.
• 1:25:24
  Can we please have both the coaches on the sidelines for
• 1:25:27
  this one just for pure hell. It's also a revisiting for the
• 1:25:32
  battle of the keg of nails and old rivalry trophy.
• 1:25:36
  Yeah. So you get an old rivalry
• 1:25:38
  trophy, you get the coach Swap and you get a layout where
• 1:25:43
  typically the teams are on the same side line.
• 1:25:46
  Exactly. It doesn't get any better than
• 1:25:49
  this and it's an 11:00 kick, I think, let me check.
• 1:25:51
  I think that's another thing. Fenway's always, an 11:00.
• 1:25:54
  A, yes, it is breakfast. If you want, if you want to eat
• 1:25:59
  breakfast, brunch time, get you a mimosa, get you a Bloody Mary.
• 1:26:08
  Get you a Benny get you something good.
• 1:26:12
  So who do you get? I got to lead this one, right?
• 1:26:16
  Um I'm gonna say this I think Louisville's going to take this
• 1:26:20
  game I think the addition of Brom definitely gets them a
• 1:26:23
  little bit more of a boost. I think losing fickle is a lot
• 1:26:27
  for Cincinnati. I think it's an energy.
• 1:26:30
  I think this is going to be an entertaining game.
• 1:26:32
  Just knowing both Styles. I think Malik Cunningham I think
• 1:26:35
  he's playing. I'm not seeing He has not opted
• 1:26:38
  out, has he? I haven't seen that he has, so
• 1:26:42
  I'm assuming he is until I hear otherwise, let me just make sure
• 1:26:45
  here. He's day-to-day got banged up a
• 1:26:48
  couple weeks ago so I don't see anything.
• 1:26:51
  I'll take Louisville in an entertaining game at Fenway
• 1:26:55
  Park. I'm going to take sense of here
• 1:27:01
  just to be contrarian. I think this is gonna be an
• 1:27:04
  interesting game. Regardless both teams have
• 1:27:07
  similar level talent and your argue Louisville probably has
• 1:27:10
  the best playmaker since he probably has the better top to
• 1:27:14
  bottom roster and turns of what they've been able to do so.
• 1:27:20
  I'll take Cynthia by hair there. Just to have something to text
• 1:27:24
  about that morning, right? Yep.
• 1:27:27
  All right. Well, let's go rejoin.
• 1:27:28
  Our Bloody Mary's are enjoying a bloody mary.
• 1:27:31
  Absolutely. All right, let's go to this one.
• 1:27:34
  I don't know how this bowl. Doesn't get more recognition.
• 1:27:37
  It's in freaking Vegas, but the Las Vegas Bowl Florida versus
• 1:27:43
  Oregon State. Oregon State, 14th, obviously
• 1:27:47
  pulling the huge upset over organ in the Civil War at the on
• 1:27:52
  Thanksgiving. The weekend who you got in this
• 1:27:54
  one, Brian. I'm taking Oregon State.
• 1:28:00
  I like the way they closed the season.
• 1:28:03
  I don't like what? Florida look, like down the
• 1:28:05
  stretch. I think this is Oregon State's.
• 1:28:08
  All right, Oregon State, I'm with you there.
• 1:28:11
  If for nothing else, with Anthony Richardson, declaring
• 1:28:14
  for the draft, which to me. He should not be declaring for
• 1:28:17
  the draft. I don't get that.
• 1:28:20
  I do not get that whatsoever. You're at least a year to early
• 1:28:23
  Sun way too much. I've know if there was not
• 1:28:27
  enough development this year in his game to go, and I also with
• 1:28:31
  Mi Elders, there's less reason to jump unless you're fully
• 1:28:37
  ready like Just, you know, a quarterback like him at Florida.
• 1:28:42
  Could rake in 250 300. Yeah.
• 1:28:47
  Easy maybe even higher lower in 36 figures, right?
• 1:28:54
  If that's not enough to to float, the boats and need to be
• 1:28:57
  floated until your game is where it needs to be to take the next
• 1:29:01
  step. Don't go man.
• 1:29:05
  This is this isn't two years ago when you know you make this type
• 1:29:08
  of decision, you're looking at your long term versus your short
• 1:29:12
  term within IL. It's a different kettle of fish.
• 1:29:18
  Who plays quarterback for Florida?
• 1:29:20
  I don't know. And I haven't researched it that
• 1:29:23
  far, but it's not Anthony Richardson.
• 1:29:26
  So in that is, right? And then Anthony Richardson, I'm
• 1:29:29
  not losing my, yeah. You're right.
• 1:29:30
  Okay, it's one of those days. I, um, let's go next out to the
• 1:29:36
  LA Bowl in Wazoo versus Fresno State.
• 1:29:39
  I'm taking this one. Real easy, Fresno State on a
• 1:29:42
  roll, beating Boise for the Mountain, West Title, I think
• 1:29:46
  they continue to do it. It in their backyard.
• 1:29:48
  Give me Fresno to keep it rolling and knockoff wazoo.
• 1:29:55
  Yeah, I'm right there with you. Fresno State and this one,
• 1:29:59
  probably not even whatever the spread is I'm taking.
• 1:30:03
  I'm taking Fresno in the points. Fresno's only laying three.
• 1:30:07
  So you got to be in the game were gone.
• 1:30:10
  It all right, if we give you Fresno, all right, the next
• 1:30:12
  one's in, is the ugliest. One of the day.
• 1:30:14
  It's the LendingTree Bowl. Five and seven Rice versus six
• 1:30:18
  and six Southern Miss, they happen.
• 1:30:23
  Yes, we know the six. And 16s happen.
• 1:30:26
  All the time. Rice shouldn't be here.
• 1:30:29
  Southern Miss Yeah, give me give me Southern Miss.
• 1:30:34
  Give me the farb Scandal. Let's do this.
• 1:30:38
  Let's see how many times. Will the far Scandal be
• 1:30:42
  discussed on this path, which is going to be on ESPN.
• 1:30:47
  I'd go 5 verily School lead with it.
• 1:30:52
  They're going to lead coming out of halftime.
• 1:30:54
  They're going to have some sort of expose somewhere during a
• 1:30:57
  good time out where they don't go to break.
• 1:31:02
  It'll be something absolutely. Alright, couple more here for
• 1:31:05
  Saturday and we're going to hit next week's games up until when
• 1:31:08
  we are alive. Next week, New Mexico Bowl SMU
• 1:31:12
  versus BYU who you taking in this one.
• 1:31:16
  Brian. Man.
• 1:31:22
  This is a tough and I think I'm a role as at SMU here though.
• 1:31:26
  Yeah, I'm with you on that SMU close the season, strong winning
• 1:31:30
  three of their last four. The only loss was to AAC winner
• 1:31:34
  Tulane and BYU's just been kind of up and down like all year,
• 1:31:40
  they played good some games, they play Bad some games so I'll
• 1:31:46
  go with the team. That's been a little bit more
• 1:31:47
  consistent I'm with you with SMU.
• 1:31:49
  I late Saturday night Fresco Bowl.
• 1:31:52
  Go and Fresco Frisco Texas, the runners-up of the Conference
• 1:31:56
  USA, in Mountain West Boise versus North Texas.
• 1:32:01
  I'm going to take Boise North Texas, kind of luckily to get in
• 1:32:06
  to see USA championship game. You know, you kind of look at
• 1:32:10
  what they did probably their best.
• 1:32:12
  When all year was probably, Yes, thing the best one all year,
• 1:32:23
  maybe Live tech, maybe Western Kentucky.
• 1:32:26
  Now I'm not saying a lot so give me Boise.
• 1:32:29
  Yeah, I'm riding the mean green here.
• 1:32:31
  All right, North Texas for Brian the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
• 1:32:39
  Brian Marshall versus UConn UConn, give up, give your own
• 1:32:46
  Colts head coach son, some credit went up there and Coach
• 1:32:49
  them boys to a six and six record versus one of our lead.
• 1:32:55
  Favorites last year for the Hokies job while we were sitting
• 1:32:58
  here for over a year ago, discussing that in Charles, huh
• 1:33:01
  food, you know big wins this year against Notre Dame.
• 1:33:04
  Big wins against App State Wait, but what are you thinking on
• 1:33:09
  this one? I think UConn has the better
• 1:33:13
  story I think Marshall has the better team Marshall takes it.
• 1:33:18
  I'll go with Marshall to I think Marshall also have likely a home
• 1:33:21
  field advantage down in Myrtle Beach.
• 1:33:24
  All righty. That's a 230 kick on Monday
• 1:33:28
  afternoon. Can they push those back?
• 1:33:31
  Can they all be 5:00 kicks? There's a little bit.
• 1:33:34
  It's like Tuesday, you got two games on Tuesday, you got
• 1:33:37
  Eastern Michigan, versus San Jose's.
• 1:33:39
  A330 kick at the pins at the potato.
• 1:33:41
  Bowl. I don't know much about either
• 1:33:45
  of these teams. I'll just go Eastern, Michigan.
• 1:33:53
  I'm gonna go Eastern Michigan to take.
• 1:33:56
  Your bowl. Is alright, it already.
• 1:33:59
  So then we got the Boca Raton Bowl.
• 1:34:03
  The question is, will this bowl end up in a fist fight?
• 1:34:06
  As it did a few years ago when Memphis and BYU played it, which
• 1:34:09
  was always interesting this year.
• 1:34:11
  It's even more interesting that it's Liberty versus Toledo.
• 1:34:17
  It's Liberty versus Toledo. Who are you taking in this game?
• 1:34:28
  Boca Raton. Gimme, I'm going to take the
• 1:34:32
  flames. You want to take the Flames?
• 1:34:35
  The Hugh freeze less frames. I think go down in flames.
• 1:34:40
  I think Hood Toledo. They won the MAC.
• 1:34:43
  Probably should be in a slightly better bowl with that.
• 1:34:45
  Is what it is Toledo to me. Had a really good year.
• 1:34:49
  We picked against them a couple weeks ago.
• 1:34:52
  You know, I think Toledo takes this one.
• 1:34:56
  All right, there is only a believe we got one more.
• 1:35:00
  We pull that up here on the 21st, so, a week from tonight
• 1:35:05
  and a week, Nolan's the New Orleans Bowl.
• 1:35:07
  But a week from tonight, we will be sitting here with talibans
• 1:35:14
  with Jeremy. Y'all, if y'all have not watched
• 1:35:19
  this episode watch it live, it's super entertaining because we
• 1:35:27
  got Jonathan tally spaces expert.
• 1:35:29
  Kurt bamas. Biggest hockey, fan, we got
• 1:35:36
  everybody knows, dr. Lord, Jeremy counts.
• 1:35:40
  Ha ha. We've, we've done this.
• 1:35:46
  We've had Jeremy on the last two years.
• 1:35:47
  We had tally on with Jeremy last year.
• 1:35:50
  I feel like this is going to be our annual state of the program
• 1:35:56
  yearly episode where we bring these two on.
• 1:35:59
  Absolutely and just we're going to cut up, we're going.
• 1:36:03
  We're going to talk a little kind of close out early Signing
• 1:36:06
  Day and then we're going to, we're going, we're going to cut
• 1:36:09
  up and talk to program and hit every corner of what happened
• 1:36:13
  this season. What's happened with the class?
• 1:36:15
  What we need to do between now? And when spring practice starts
• 1:36:20
  up kind of touch on a little bit of everything, is we kind of
• 1:36:24
  roll into the new year abso-freakin'-lutely.
• 1:36:28
  So next, Wednesday, Wednesday not Tuesday.
• 1:36:33
  I was going to ask Brian. If you can do it Thursday but
• 1:36:36
  you know I got a guy accommodate.
• 1:36:38
  Well I'm see Thursday, I will be in South Boston.
• 1:36:42
  And if you remember last year, the internet connectivity issues
• 1:36:46
  I was having this oh I'd prefer to be able to do it while I'm
• 1:36:53
  still here because it we're going to let relying upon South
• 1:36:56
  Boston, internet connections at all.
• 1:37:00
  I'm just more upset. I told you, I'm about to take it
• 1:37:01
  easy because I got to work the next day.
• 1:37:03
  I can't do it. I did what I did two years ago
• 1:37:06
  when I was off. That was all on.
• 1:37:10
  All three of us were hammered that 10-man.
• 1:37:13
  Now that little Hammer. Yeah, full hammered and all of
• 1:37:16
  us are feeling good and Jeremy was feeling real good last year.
• 1:37:19
  So yes, he was Jeremy's promise. He's going to paste this year.
• 1:37:23
  We'll see how that goes. These processes I'm just going
• 1:37:28
  to tell it just eat a full meal. Man, you see the full name?
• 1:37:31
  All right. One more game to pick.
• 1:37:33
  It'll probably be back here on the television screen as we are
• 1:37:38
  talking to Jeremy and Hali next week.
• 1:37:40
  And that's Western Kentucky versus South Alabama.
• 1:37:44
  In the New Orleans Bowl South Alabama, 10 and to Western
• 1:37:48
  Kentucky Aiden for so to pretty good G5 teams going at it here,
• 1:37:53
  we think on this one Braun even though we won't be really well,
• 1:37:56
  you'll be watching, it'll probably be right there for you
• 1:37:58
  but little bit. Above me while I'm throwing back
• 1:38:02
  some shots and crushing some beers while we talk state of the
• 1:38:06
  program. But I'm going to take Western
• 1:38:08
  Kentucky here. All right, good deal.
• 1:38:12
  I'm gonna go opposite of you for the last pick.
• 1:38:14
  I'm going to go, south Alabama, South Alabama tending to their
• 1:38:18
  only losses this year were to Troy by four and they lost.
• 1:38:23
  If you remember the UCLA game early in the year where you
• 1:38:25
  Shelly pulled a freaking miracle and scored a touchdown with,
• 1:38:31
  like I think it was like two or a field goal, two seconds left,
• 1:38:35
  like literal Miracle. So give me South Alabama.
• 1:38:39
  All right, other than the Ryan, In Walters news, which came out
• 1:38:42
  of nowhere because I guess I had looked at my phone close enough
• 1:38:46
  in the last few hours here. What else you got?
• 1:38:49
  Run? That's all we got man.
• 1:38:51
  All right, ready to close whenever you are.
• 1:38:54
  Well, let's close this thing out and wrap up this episode of The
• 1:38:57
  Boundary Corner podcast brought to you by Main Street, Pharmacy.
• 1:39:01
  In Blacksburg Virginia, I'm Curtis Wilson.
