  The following is a presentation of the Sports Media Network Little Alamo Bowl Talk Baby
• 0:23
  will also dive into the Coas football playoffs, all that and more here on

• 0:30
  your host, Jay. They got for pulling up here on the YouTube channel
• 0:34

• 0:44
  and gifted. So of course we got the standard crew here, myself with
• 0:50
  Coop. But we're gonna dive into some fun stuff today. We're gonna talk
• 0:53
  about little bit of the Alamo Bowl where recap some slight stuff around the recruit
• 0:58
  classes just came through with all calls for while playoffs, Texas lost and to
• 1:02
  the Alabama and clearly what does that mean? And then we'll wrap things up
• 1:06
  with the All American game that went down today and you know, maybe some
• 1:10
  recruiting and a transportal update, you know, Beard Mustache Pool you know anyway?
• 1:15
  Cool? How you doing, my man? Man? What is going
• 1:19
  on? Jay? It's been a while it's it feels like been months years.
• 1:26
  It's like right before, we have not done this since last year.
• 1:30
  Actually, that's exactly right. It's been like a fool. I mean,
• 1:34
  yeah, that that joke's never gonna get old because you know, you can
• 1:38
  always say it and it's so true. It's been roughly uh last year since
• 1:42
  we did this. Yeah, but man, I would have to say this
• 1:47
  is you know, I know, we'll talk about the alamobole. I was
• 1:53
  doing some traveling with the fam and we went to Dallas and I sat in
• 1:59
  the the courtyard of the Invasy Suites by myself because we had a little early
• 2:06
  bedtime for the young ones, and so it's just me and bartender was cleaning
• 2:12
  up. So she just kept on bringing me, uh, you know,
• 2:14
  club soda. You know, obviously no no, no, no alcohol at
• 2:17
  the moment, but like kept on just bringing bringing me club soda while I
• 2:21
  was watching the game, and so I kind of felt like I was at
• 2:23
  my own personal little watch party of course in Dallas the day before, uh
• 2:29
  in the Misery game. So uh yeah, so this was a lot to
• 2:34
  talk about, but a lot of fun stuff happening too. Yeah, we
• 2:38
  had a lot of things going on here or whatnot. I just spilt a
• 2:40
  whole bunch of water on my laptop, so I had to grab myra a
• 2:46
  real quick to clean some of it up, which is kind of fun.
• 2:47
  But yo, alto bowl itself. I wanted to talk slightly about because we
• 2:53
  didn't really get to get into it, right, Yeah, most of you,
• 2:57
  we have to talk about it. They saw my recap. I was
• 2:59
  traveling too. I've actually spent the last week for uh last week basically on
• 3:06
  the go. It's been crazy. Christmas was pretty good, so Merry Christmas,
• 3:09
  Happy New Year to everybody on here. Mine was pretty wild. I
• 3:14
  had a nice little Christmas accident. So if you've noticed I have my thumb
• 3:16
  all wrapped up, it's been a fun you know, having a chopped up
• 3:22
  version of my finger floating around and so yeah, no, you know,
• 3:25
  you know, just the standard stuff, you know, chopping up food and
• 3:29
  your finger disappears. So but my finger still here is just a big chunk
• 3:32
  of it is now definitely holding off for dear life. So always fun.
• 3:38
  But let's talk Almobo. You said you were sitting there drinking watching the game.
• 3:42
  Joan, Well, you know, quote unquote club sodas in your personal
• 3:46
  bar. How'd you feel about that game? I didn't really get to get
• 3:49
  your thoughts on that one. Now that it's a week later, you get
• 3:51
  to really think about it. How'd you feel about that game? I mean,
• 3:54
  it's it's slightly more important than the Spring game, but I mean just
• 4:01
  just is kind of what I felt like, anybody losing their mind about anything.
• 4:08
  Listen, the only player that I really got frustrated with was obviously ferrug
• 4:13
  just you know, more than once, you can't do that. He's done
• 4:15
  that a few times throughout the year. Just copped up the ball, so
• 4:20
  you know that that was it. Jackson Arnold, couple good defensive plays.
• 4:25
  The guy went out there and just kept on slinging the ball. Makeshift offensive
• 4:29
  line. You know, it's crazy because when you go through that game,
• 4:32
  we statistically dominated every single piece of the game except for the turnover margin.
• 4:38
  And it's not a bad team. I mean, that is an up and
• 4:42
  coming team. That is a team that's on fire. It is a team
• 4:45
  that I promise you if you are and I'm gonna keep it PC and family
• 4:48
  friendly and all that stuff, but if you are teams that haven't done much
• 4:53
  for quite a long time in the the bless your heart Big twelve next season,
• 4:59
  you better, you better better go watch that game, not to dog
• 5:02
  on Oklahoma, but to prep yourself for a little bit of a world whirlwind,
• 5:06
  because uh that that team is that team is that team is fire.
• 5:12
  And uh yeah, so I mean, you know, I don't really don't
• 5:15
  really freak out much about that. Uh, you had bad games by two
• 5:19
  guys that you can't really afford. I mean it's not bad games. It's
• 5:24
  I mean they were bad, bad, bad bad. You know, Woody
• 5:28
  Washington had just a terrible, terrible game, and then uh and then for
• 5:32
  rook did and so you know, hopefully Woody comes back. I don't know
• 5:36
  what that conversation looks like, but as he's coming back now, was it
• 5:42
  yesterday or today that he declared that, I mean, you gotta if you're
• 5:46
  JAVELI, you gotta basically go out there and say, hey, listen,
• 5:48
  I want the top two guys out there on the field. I don't care
• 5:51
  if you're a freshman. I don't care if you're a transfer. I don't
• 5:55
  care if you're a senior, because we are we are going to a place
• 6:00
  that you need to. You can't have games like that to where you are
• 6:04
  just you're just staring at the back of the dude's jersey all night long.
• 6:09
  So uh, but again, Atlanta or not Atlanta Arizona is I'm sorry,
• 6:13
  I'm keep my eye on the thunder which are just absolutely just pissing on their
• 6:17
  legs tonight after beating Boston last night. But that way sometimes so apparently defense
• 6:27
  they left back in Oklahoma City. But anyway, the yeah, I mean,
• 6:32
  there's a lot of guys. This offensive line is going to be much
• 6:34
  better next year than it was in that Bowl game. That is an absolute,
• 6:40
  uh, you know, almost a solid lock. The way that you
• 6:43
  see some of the some of the stuff that they're saying about you know,
• 6:46
  uh, Heath Osada, Jake Taylor, some of those guys that just with
• 6:50
  they're gonna have another year, Smitty, They're gonna have another year where you've
• 6:56
  got you know, Bill Beingbo's got a chance to work with these guys.
• 7:02
  I think the Simmons coming over from Michigan State, it's going to be good.
• 7:05
  Uh. But that offensive line was what was was struggle bus that you
• 7:10
  know, I don't think Everett really looked terrific. Uh. And I agree
• 7:14
  with Hank we need Baits to play next year, like he was the number
• 7:18
  one center in in high school, uh two years ago. And then obviously
• 7:26
  you've got epl who a lot of people think is going to be a dude.
• 7:29
  You got Eugene Brooks who is absolutely balled out, Goomi the bruh from
• 7:33
  London, you know he So we've got a lot of good stuff and they're
• 7:38
  not done in the transfer portal, but that offensive line is not going to
• 7:41
  look like that. I don't. I mean, it's literally self inflicted mistakes,
• 7:46
  is what that? What that was? Jackson Arnold held on the ball
• 7:49
  too long on several occasions. There are several occasions he didn't take off.
• 7:54
  Now again, is at a situation where they're saying, hey man, I
• 7:59
  don't want you out there getting yourself drilled all over the place because there's nothing
• 8:03
  behind you. So is was it a DG type of deal from last year
• 8:07
  to where you know you don't do that? So again, think of it
• 8:11
  kind of like the spring scrimmage, spring game. You don't freak out about
• 8:16
  it. That game is a lose, lose game. Nobody should have been
• 8:20
  on here been like, you know, I think it's good for this fan
• 8:24
  base too, because instead of going into an offseason after after absolutely just drilling
• 8:30
  them in the bowl game and you know, going into overboard hopium, I
• 8:33
  don't think that that's a good idea. So it does keep the season in
• 8:37
  perspective. If you are one of the doomers, and I'm not going to
• 8:41
  bring out any people specifically, but if you're out there thinking we're gonna go
• 8:46
  out there and get just ran in the sec, you're out of your mind.
• 8:48
  This team's gonna be much better. So but that's what I think.
• 8:52
  I think is glorified spring scrimmage. Great for practice, great for reps.
• 8:54
  It's good to see some of the young pups who couldn't play get out there
• 8:58
  and work. But yeah, it's a I feel good going into next year.
• 9:03
  I think it's going to be good for this team to to get back
• 9:07
  to work. Not a lot of stuff is not as not as stuff is
• 9:11
  going to be just disappearing. You know, if you look at this team
• 9:16
  and you look at a topic, we'll we'll branch on here. Shoot shortly,
• 9:22
  if you look at David Stone and another year of development on a lot
• 9:26
  of other guys, I mean, there's not really a part in your team
• 9:31
  of this team that you look at next year and be like that, that's
• 9:33
  going to be absolutely just garbage. And if you base anything off of the
• 9:39
  bowl game, don't, please don't, Just like you can't overreact to the
• 9:46
  Florida State game last year. But except for yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 9:48
  no jet sweeps. There was no jet sweeps in there, so there's that.
• 9:52
  So but yeah, that's my ramble. Let's see here, a six
• 9:58
  minute ramble on on the bowl game. All right, well we'll leave it
• 10:01
  at that, Coop that we wanted to hear what you had to think on
• 10:05
  it, and boom, we've got Coop's thoughts. So yeah, it's glorified
• 10:09
  practice. Like you said, for the most part, you know, you
• 10:11
  like to win bowl games. But at the same time, the most important
• 10:13
  thing about those games, if it's not a to me, if it's not
• 10:16
  a New Year six game, New Year six game, I don't really care
• 10:18
  about winning it. Winning or losing doesn't really matter. It's all about getting
• 10:22
  the young guys out there playing right New Year six, you want to bring
• 10:26
  your big guns out and you really want to ball out and try to show
• 10:28
  up. Unfortunately, Florida State didn't give us that with theirs, which leads
• 10:31
  us right into the collegetball playoffs. So thank y'all for pulling up as usual.
• 10:37
  Please wipe your feet while you're here. Hit that like button. If
• 10:39
  you knew to the channel, subscribe, also share why because sharing is carrying.
• 10:45
  Channel doesn't grow without you the people. And Yeah, it's been like
• 10:48
  I said about, you know, two weeks since we'll be able to give
• 10:52
  you some contents and now we're here to really talk about it, but I
• 10:56
  wanted to dive into Yeah, and Hank, you're right, those fifteen extra
• 11:00
  practices are huge for what you're trying to do in development, especially since it's
• 11:05
  funny because and I think you made this point Coop, going into next season,
• 11:11
  if you're a Doomer, you're gonna be a little disappointed because bringing back
• 11:15
  those big bringing back all those defenders Stutsman, Bowman as well as Woody just
• 11:18
  brings you experience that you need heading into the SEC. We played so many
• 11:24
  young players, and I preached this numerous times, say it at nauseum.
• 11:28
  We had over four thousand snaps from guys that were freshmen, red shirt freshmen,
• 11:33
  or sophomores, so basically one or two year guys, we played a
• 11:37
  lot of young ones and having a lot of having those veterans come back,
• 11:43
  it's gonna do nothing but help accelerate them. Going into the SEC and having
• 11:46
  a good defense takes a heck of a lot of pressure off of Jackson Arnold
• 11:52
  on the offensive side, which granted, is the thing that you should be
• 11:56
  most excited about. We're gonna have a lot of people on there helping calm
• 12:01
  things down for Jackson to where he can really develop as a sophomore walking into
• 12:07
  one of the most hostile into the most hostile conference in college football, he's
• 12:13
  gonna have a defense to help them. So transitioning that playoffs, baby,
• 12:18
  So how'd y'all feel about Texas in the Washington game? Right? So this
• 12:24
  was Texas second time seeing Washington in a bowl game, and in the last
• 12:28
  two years, you know, they played in the Alamo bo last year in
• 12:31
  which Texas fans would tell you that, you know, Oklahoma lost and Alamobo,
• 12:35
  you suck. But they lost to Washington last year in the Alamo Bow.
• 12:41
  And now my Texas fans in here that come to this channel, you
• 12:45
  know, besides Quentin and Quin's the troll, but you know, like frightening
• 12:48
  all of them. They cool, they understand the game. They ridiculous when
• 12:52
  it comes to a lot of this. So you know, we have appreciation
• 12:56
  for them, unlike what we would have from a lot of others. But
• 13:01
  I wanted to point this out. Texas fans on the interwebs wanted to tell
• 13:09
  every single one of you all that if you don't win the playoff game,
• 13:16
  it don't matter. If you wanted a Big twelve championship, it went to,
• 13:20
  you know, the playoff, it don't matter. That's what they said.
• 13:24
  They told us that they've been telling us that for years. You know
• 13:28
  me, personally, I'm happy they finally did something with themselves, all that
• 13:31
  money and they finally got something out of it, even though they did lose
• 13:33
  to Washington for the second year in a row, which warms my heart just
• 13:37
  as much as anything else. But Coop, when I watched it, my
• 13:41
  favorite part was how this man right here really pissed off a Texas fan.
• 13:48
  This guy Ethan downs right here during the awards ceremony that he received for the
• 13:56
  All State Good Works Team, which is recognizing college football players perform exceptional acts
• 14:01
  of charity and service in their local communities. Our guy ethan Down's pulled up.
• 14:07
  Make sure they knew the horns down the entire time. Baby threw those
• 14:11
  up there, and he hurt so many feelings like it was so bad.
• 14:16
  He had some young lady on the innerwebs sending him DM's talking mess like I
• 14:24
  gotta find this because it was like, man, she was mad cool,
• 14:28
  she was real, real mad in the fields all the way. And I'm
• 14:33
  just saying this is there are three people in my life that can affect me
• 14:37
  that much, and they all sleep in this house. If one person affects
• 14:43
  you that much, words, lots of words going likes stop is just it.
• 14:54
  I'm looking at those hands. That's like a forty year old woman.
• 14:58
  That ain't us. That's a grown woman. Dog and she mad, She
• 15:03
  big mad, big man. Couldn't even speel. You're right. She was
• 15:07
  calling he word like over and over. Dog. That just tells you how
• 15:13
  pathetic some Texas man not all. Just say I'm not all some some you
• 15:18
  know not everybody makes smart decisions in their lives and pick teams aren't losers all
• 15:22
  the time. But it bought. She was so mad, she was so
• 15:26
  heated, like I bet she would have fought the All State people if they
• 15:30
  would have gave her the opportunity or the time of day or the moment to
• 15:33
  be able to talk. That's how mad she was. It was beautiful,
• 15:35
  though. It wore my heart to see her just be so pissed off.
• 15:39
  It's like, dang, she mad. So we had to laugh at this
• 15:41
  because this just wore me up. As we lead into the game of them
• 15:46
  boys losing and Texas taking that al to our compadres over there at Washington,
• 15:56
  right, Karen talked to Ethan's manager, Karen wants to talk. I want
• 16:03
  to talk to eat James. James, you when you win the innewebs On
• 16:07
  that one beautiful? That was great? Right? Oh man, it just
• 16:11
  it just it just hurts her little heart. Bro I am, I am
• 16:15
  tears on it. But Texas takes an l coop. I watched everything,
• 16:22
  and I watched the entire second half of that game. I missed the first
• 16:26
  half because I was on a flight, and when I looked, I missed
• 16:30
  the end of the Alabama Michigan game. And then I missed the first half
• 16:33
  of this one. When I got to watching it first half, I gotta
• 16:40
  know from you, like like for real, huh, how do we say
• 16:48
  this? Quinn was looking bad in this game, wouldn't he? I would
• 16:55
  say this. Did you see the media the media practice where they had the
• 17:02
  group of folks around Arch and Quinn was sitting on the deal and he's like
• 17:06
  looking over his shoulder. He's got nobody in front of him and he's looking
• 17:08
  at this group of people around Arch Manning. If you've seen that picture on
• 17:15
  on on the X. If you haven't seen the picture on the X,
• 17:18
  just go to the thumbnail of this actual video. Yeah, okay, there
• 17:22
  you go. If you if you wondered if Jay and I discussed graphics ever,
• 17:29
  no, no, we don't. We're just here. We're in sync.
• 17:33
  We give, we give. We talk more about pg's graphics with PG
• 17:37
  than we do about our own stuff. So but I will say this is
• 17:41
  now, Quinn. Quinn looked bad. And what's crazy is, man,
• 17:45
  every single big game that Quinn's played in, he's balled out. It's it's
• 17:49
  the when are you going to just you know, puke down your leg in
• 17:56
  the middle of somewhere where you shouldn't listen. I don't think Quinn yours is
• 18:03
  a bad quarterback, but sure as hell An a great quarterback. Washington kept
• 18:07
  that game available and alive for for Texas. It should not was it twenty
• 18:15
  one twenty one at halftime. It should not have been that close at halftime.
• 18:21
  They shouldn't have been driving to try to win the game. There was
• 18:25
  so much wrong, so much wrong of you know about that about that game,
• 18:32
  and you look at it as a was Washington just you know, new
• 18:38
  to the scene, didn't understand what was going on. I mean that that's
• 18:45
  that's just what I think. And every single team, whether it's Texas Washington,
• 18:52
  Yeah, I agree, Brian, but you know, this was a
• 18:56
  very very lackluster that Alabama team they ain't it. That Michigan team slightly better
• 19:03
  than I thought they were going to be. Just shout out to your boy.
• 19:07
  I got some wrong, we got some right. But I call I
• 19:08
  think I called Washington and uh and Michigan both in the in the playoff at
• 19:14
  the beginning of the year. But I did too, So there you are.
• 19:17
  But I also called Oklahoma, so I'm a jackass. But but uh,
• 19:23
  but I just I just gotta say this is Washington is good and they
• 19:30
  if they had anything resembling a running game, they would be elite and that's
• 19:36
  just a struggle and hopefully the Johnson kid feels better. But uh but no,
• 19:40
  I mean it looks like, uh, you know, I saw the
• 19:42
  the A, P B, the M I A for Xavier Worthy ad and
• 19:47
  I Mitchell bro Uh, Mitchell had himself a little bit of a game,
• 19:55
  a little bit of a game, and uh so I would just I'll say
• 20:00
  this is Washington's offense is legit. Pennix junior is guy that's you know,
• 20:06
  his first year at Indiana, I felt really, really really good about about
• 20:10
  him. He transferred to Washington and for a while there it looks like it
• 20:15
  was not going to be much of anything. But I mean, do should
• 20:18
  have won the Heisman? Nothing against Jaden Daniels, nothing against Daniels, but
• 20:25
  the three losses give me the edge for Washington, you know, because I
• 20:29
  mean outside it was at the Arizona State game that Penix just basically did nothing.
• 20:33
  But I mean like he bawled out and they've got three legit receivers.
• 20:41
  You know. The defense, it is what it is. I think it
• 20:44
  was at number eight. I was at number eight number it was a single
• 20:47
  digit defensive lineman and he was all over everywhere and in Texas just shouldn't even
• 20:52
  been in that game, but Washington kept him around. And if Texas would
• 20:59
  have came back and won that game, I would have I don't know,
• 21:00
  I would have petitioned something, because nobody watching that game that doesn't have burnt
• 21:06
  Orange Boxers would have ever thought that they were should have been on the same
• 21:11
  field, much less the better team. But Washington had a couple of bad
• 21:14
  scenarios. It literally felt like, in one of the worst playoff groupings ever,
• 21:19
  that Texas might just luck themselves into something. But they didn't. And
• 21:26
  we don't have to talk about that because they lost, so hold that l
• 21:30
  every single Texas fan is going to talk about all the different crap. I'm
• 21:37
  sorry, you guys were there, you didn't do it. You'r year's over.
• 21:41
  We're done talking about you. I don't know if Quinn after that big
• 21:47
  hit. I don't know if Quinn could have done a lot of mathematical equations
• 21:52
  or spelling contests because he did not look like he was in the same world.
• 21:57
  And maybe that had something to do with it. But Texas is going
• 22:02
  to have an interesting year next year because that, you know, with Malik
• 22:07
  gone, now it's arch. Nobody talks about the transformer. Nobody talks about
• 22:12
  the other guy behind Quinn yours and Quinn's coming back because the loaded class in
• 22:18
  the NFL this year. But you got a few receipts on quinnby the number
• 22:22
  four overall pick in the NFL draft before the year. But he ain't that.
• 22:29
  And this is what we talked about quite a bit. Jay is is
• 22:33
  Texas and expectations. They don't mix. It just doesn't. It just isn't
• 22:38
  there. They're losing a ton on that defensive side before you get there.
• 22:42
  We'll get to that just a second. Give me let me jump in on
• 22:45
  you on that with the Quinn peace, Yeah, he did not look good
• 22:49
  when I looked at the numbers going into the half, right, like he
• 22:52
  got all his number all of his damage was second half, and like you
• 22:55
  mentioned, it really was a lot of what it was like Washington was kind
• 23:00
  of letting them in there. You know, the fumble and then the punt,
• 23:04
  and all of a sudden he had to you know them big drives,
• 23:07
  that touchdown drive and then that field goal. You started to really see Quinn.
• 23:11
  It's like after he took that big hit, it looked like he was
• 23:17
  starting to like It's like he figured it out and started to just like lob
• 23:19
  the ball in the air and his receivers already catched them. Them beautiful passes
• 23:23
  like Winnington's catch was absurdly gorgeous, right, and then Mitchell with the double
• 23:29
  clutch midair. Yeah, ad Mitchell, that was just stupid good. You
• 23:33
  can't I'm not gonna pretend like that wasn't a fire catch, because it was.
• 23:37
  But overall, mat Quinn looked it just did not look like it wasn't
• 23:42
  what I expected. First half. I thought that, you know, in
• 23:47
  his three hundred and something yards, I thought he would have had a lot
• 23:49
  of that, most of that to start the game. And it felt like
• 23:52
  most of it came in the second half. But you know, but that's
• 23:56
  the thing also about Quinn I've learned I've noticed about him. He more of
• 24:00
  a second half quarterback. Anyway. He starts off a little slow, things
• 24:03
  don't go the exact way, and then he goes out there and he'll he'll
• 24:07
  he'll cook in the second half, like in this one, a lot of
• 24:11
  runs, right, like that first touchdown drive he threw the ball, Yeah,
• 24:17
  a thirty one yard completion and the rest were all runs. They basically
• 24:21
  just ran it down Washington's trug, right, That's what you saw from them
• 24:25
  going into there. Then from those punts. The next time they score,
• 24:30
  you got the Winnington Master catch and then was a lot of you know runs
• 24:34
  like they were running it down Washington. And I think that was wild to
• 24:37
  me, is why did they stop doing it? Right? Like why would
• 24:41
  you stop with the run when you really know you could have done that?
• 24:47
  Like, sorry, what were you thinking? We got it? We got
• 24:53
  the absolute king ding of everything, and it was it was it was James
• 25:00
  DRO's Texas what it like? It just it just that's what it was.
• 25:08
  I mean, you get right from the get go, just having an idea
• 25:15
  and they're like, hey, let's let's just knock it out and let's just
• 25:18
  go with it. In game adjustments, maybe you know Baxter, maybe Baxter
• 25:23
  you know, had that he had a fumble right at one point, so
• 25:29
  maybe there were some issues around that. But yeah, I mean you got
• 25:33
  to run the ball. I mean, with that offensive line, I don't
• 25:37
  understand. I don't understand how they didn't. And then I don't understand how
• 25:41
  you don't you don't make it, you know, make it you're just automatic
• 25:45
  gameplay. I mean again, they with seconds left, they're throwing the ball
• 25:48
  then zone to win, and so there's there's that, but you know that
• 25:52
  game's completely different, and maybe the game is you know again, if they
• 25:56
  would have done this, what would have happened, because you got to say
• 26:00
  Washington would had opportunity. So yeah, Sark is uh again, it's it's
• 26:11
  it's elite. And maybe we toss the word elite around to too frequently that
• 26:17
  you don't realize it. But I mean outside of what Georgia and Alabama has
• 26:21
  done and what you know LSU throws out once every five or six years,
• 26:25
  I mean, those are the guys who have been winning trophies. You look
• 26:29
  at Ohio State, you look at Oklahoma, you look at a lot of
• 26:32
  these other teams that a Notre Dame who have gotten there several times and just
• 26:36
  didn't have the juice to do it. You know that when you have a
• 26:38
  kink in your armor, these coaches will find it. The Bill Belichicks,
• 26:42
  the Nick Sabans, the Kirby Smarts, and it doesn't hurt that every single
• 26:47
  player on their team was a four or five star and the best person in
• 26:49
  the region. In high school. So to overcome it, you gotta you
• 26:56
  gotta be elite at something. Sark has never been elite at the play.
• 27:00
  He's great, he's a good play caller. That's not that's not bad.
• 27:03
  You know, Quinn yours is not elite. Dylan Gabriel was not elite.
• 27:07
  You know, our defensive line is not. It's not good or great,
• 27:11
  it's not it's not anywhere near elite yet. So in order to do that,
• 27:17
  in order to win this day and age versus the teams that you get
• 27:19
  tossed in with, you've got to be elite at a few different things.
• 27:22
  And and you you know, I don't know what it's like to be sitting
• 27:27
  there two days after the national Championship with the what ifs, and it's got
• 27:32
  to be maddening, disheartening. It's got to have a lot to do with
• 27:34
  it. But I mean, I do feel for soccer right now, because
• 27:40
  I mean, like you can stare at that for an entire three sixty five
• 27:42
  wondering if you'll ever be there. The best quote ever was Dan Marino going
• 27:47
  to the playoffs and you know, playing for an opportunity to go to,
• 27:49
  you know, for a Super Bowl. His first year. He said it
• 27:52
  out loud. He said, listen, I thought I was just going to
• 27:53
  be there back, you know, every single year, never never in,
• 27:59
  and you've you don't want to eminem set it right, It's your one opportunity.
• 28:07
  Don't do not miss your chance to go to blow whatever. I don't
• 28:10
  I can't remember off the top of my head, but you got to take
• 28:11
  it and take advantage of it. And so I mean, it's kind of
• 28:15
  like us pissing down our legs against Kansas or Oklahoma State for this year.
• 28:18
  This was their wide open year. Now, I tell you what college football
• 28:22
  got damn lucky that Georgia got left out because they had probably I would still
• 28:26
  pick them against this field. Uh. Yeah, you know, I think
• 28:30
  george is probably the team that uh And I think Georgia and Florida State kind
• 28:33
  of had a point in this one. Now, everybody tosks crazy about Florida
• 28:37
  State losing that game to end, but they also had like forty players opt
• 28:38
  out like they and I actually am on the side of the players on the
• 28:44
  opt out because I get why they did that scenario. All those dudes,
• 28:49
  all those dudes, None of those dudes opted out against US. At the
• 28:52
  cheese at ball, right, they all showed up. They played us,
• 28:56
  and they said, we want to compete for a time. So what did
• 29:00
  they do. They went out and they beat everybody on their schedule to go
• 29:03
  to the playoffs, didn't get in. So at that point they're like,
• 29:07
  well, that defeated the purpose of us opting in. Our opt in was
• 29:11
  to win the title, not to do this mess. So they all opted
• 29:14
  out, which I totally get, and they lost like three quarterbacks. You
• 29:17
  know, Beard mustache pull anyway. But James here makes a fantastic point.
• 29:21
  I want to jump on this rules. Man, why does offenser taking time
• 29:25
  out if one of their guys get hurt in the final two minutes when they're
• 29:27
  trying to run the clock out right, Like, because that baffled me in
• 29:34
  and that threw the game off to me for real, Like, I mean,
• 29:37
  I understand Johnson was hurt, and they should have found a way to
• 29:40
  wheel that dude off the field real quick so they could just kept that going.
• 29:42
  And just just because the whole gold point was if you would have killed
• 29:45
  the clock, that game was over. Like Texas should have never gotten that
• 29:48
  last drive. That injury is the only reason why Texas got that drive and
• 29:53
  yeah, he that should have been it. But yeah, I thought that
• 29:56
  was a very fascinating piece and thank you James it out because that was the
• 30:00
  one thing that kind of threw me off. I'm like, why the heck
• 30:03
  isn't the clock still running? And here's why me To me, the clock
• 30:07
  should have ran all the way through the play clock before the timeout. They
• 30:10
  should have gave them that because they were running the clock. We knew what
• 30:12
  they were gonna do. It's not like they were gonna go out there and
• 30:15
  try to score and score a touchdown. They should have had the full run
• 30:18
  off of that play clock and then they should have stopped it. But they
• 30:22
  stopped it so early. I'm just like, yeah, this is questionable,
• 30:26
  very good. And here's why is it's the same thing. It's the same
• 30:33
  thing that you see on the on defense when the player goes down with the
• 30:37
  cramps. I can't remember which bowl game it was, but there was one
• 30:40
  bowl game and somebody in the chat, will it will help me out,
• 30:44
  but it was somebody like made a play and they were they're trying to conserve
• 30:48
  clock and he looks to the sideline and then he like takes a couple of
• 30:52
  steps towards the sideline and then all of a sudden he reaches and he's like
• 30:56
  ah, and he like goes down right, So on off. What it
• 31:00
  is is if you got no timeouts, and again it rules a rule the
• 31:03
  situation. So let's pretend that Washington was going in for the game winner and
• 31:10
  you've got nineteen seconds, no timeouts. You fake an injury and then he
• 31:15
  can go down and while he's being attended to, you can do some coaching,
• 31:18
  and then they snap the ball right then and there. That's why it
• 31:21
  goes off. And so in order to do that, you do that.
• 31:23
  So you're like, hey, listen, you can either have the ten second
• 31:27
  runoff called by the defense or they have to pull a timeout. And so
• 31:32
  when Texas said, nope, obviously don't want the ten second runof, they
• 31:36
  got to burn a timeout. So that that that's it. That's that's why
• 31:38
  that is. It doesn't happen a lot. And but that's why you see,
• 31:44
  you know, moments where Gavin Salchuk looks to the sideline before he scores.
• 31:48
  That's why you see Samajhi py Ryan take the knee at the one is
• 31:52
  you got to you gotta do that because they're always looking at clock management,
• 31:55
  which is why another reason why if you got your you know, your young
• 31:59
  kids and your running backs and your players who have that much game time,
• 32:05
  you know realization why a head coach would have struggles with it. So there
• 32:08
  you go, yeah kind of, but it still annoys me though. It's
• 32:10
  like, but you know that they're gonna run the clock anyway, so you
• 32:15
  can hit them with a ten second if you want to. I'm totally for
• 32:20
  that, right, just hit them with the hit them with Yeah, I
• 32:22
  don't know. You could have hit them with a five yard penalty because you
• 32:25
  knew the clock was gonna run while they wait for the player to get out
• 32:28
  the field. But it's like, you penalize the offense for having an injury,
• 32:32
  but you ain't really penalizing the defense when they be faking injuries for their
• 32:38
  when it's trying to slow down tempo. Right, there's no penalty there's It's
• 32:42
  just the absurdity. But Ritzky appreciated man yup coming into the year with the
• 32:47
  fresh look Tanya four nine, Thank you so much, Lemon character doing shoulder
• 32:53
  Jimmie dance moves, That's what I'm talking about, and good evening to you.
• 32:59
  We appreciate that, Robert, thank you so much for that love.
• 33:02
  We try to bring you some of the fun, entertaining stuff on sooner stuff
• 33:06
  and we're going to talk a lot more center things in a bit. But
• 33:07
  I want to talk about that Texas game because you know, to me,
• 33:10
  the College Fotball Playoff committee got it right. Even though I still feel like
• 33:15
  Florida State should have been in. I just don't know which team you can
• 33:17
  really pull out. I mean, technically, if you pull out anybody,
• 33:21
  probably would have to been Alabama and Texas because you can't put one in and
• 33:23
  not the other based upon their backgrounds and coop. I don't know if Georgia
• 33:30
  would have dominated either one of these teams. I think Georgia would have problems
• 33:34
  with Washington. And I say that because that Washington wide receiver room, now
• 33:38
  that's three number ones right there. They got three number one wide receivers.
• 33:42
  They're talented, and they run such pristine routes. That's that's that veteran presence.
• 33:52
  And I talk about this all the time. So when when when we
• 33:59
  talk about the players coming back for Oklahoma, that is the thing I'm talking
• 34:02
  about with that veteranness, right, You bringing a who bunch of older dudes.
• 34:06
  Remember when Oklahoma State had one of the top defenses in the country,
• 34:08
  it was like twenty twenty one, that was what two years ago. They
• 34:15
  had a whole bunch of super seniors out there playing on the defensive side.
• 34:19
  Yeah, same thing last year with TCU, they had a bunch of super
• 34:22
  seniors playing on the field. Will look like that with our main guys next
• 34:27
  year. But we're still gonna be bringing in the young dudes who have gain
• 34:31
  snap experience. We're gonna walk in there looking like a different team, which
• 34:35
  I am so excited about. And we'll sure up the offense. We'll talk
• 34:37
  about transfers in a minute, but Coop, let's talk about this Alabama game
• 34:42
  now. That one was the game that when I watched it, I'm watching
• 34:47
  it all the way up into the last drive. That's when my flight took
• 34:51
  off, and I'm just like Michigan. First off, I tweeted out a
• 34:57
  long time ago, Michigan's gonna win the National Championship anything, and they gonna
• 35:00
  vacate every single of their wins. Right, I just knew that this was
• 35:04
  gonna happen, and guess what is looking like it's probably gonna happen, and
• 35:08
  trying to avoid the conversation. Yeah, you know what I mean, he's
• 35:13
  trying to avoid pretend like this ain't something to No, bro, you better
• 35:17
  lose all them wins, every single of the damn things will get vacated and
• 35:22
  you're going And he's going to the league too. Uh. You got to
• 35:24
  think that he's going to the league because he hired the agent that that you
• 35:30
  know, just really really tight with NFL franchises. There's gonna be some really
• 35:34
  good opportunities there. Again. Yeah, it's I'm with you on now one.
• 35:40
  You're breaking up a little bit, Coop. I'm sorry, can you
• 35:44
  hear me now? Now? Okay, thank you? Now? All right.
• 35:50
  So I think hardball's heading off. I think he's going to the league.
• 35:53
  I think that's going to be what happens, the vacated wins portion of
• 35:58
  it. Yeah, hundred percent. I'm with you on that one. But
• 36:01
  I will say this is Alabama looks like they did when we didn't think that
• 36:06
  that Texas win was I mean, when Texas beat them, was that impressive.
• 36:10
  Uh, Milroe had had some struggles, They had issues with the receiving
• 36:15
  Corps. I mean, it's it's it's uh uh. That did not look
• 36:22
  like an Alabama team. There were some there were some good times, but
• 36:27
  I've never seen a Big ten team just really come out. And I don't
• 36:32
  know if Ohio State and Michigan are getting closer because last year the Ohio State
• 36:37
  Georgia game, Ohio State had, I mean, should have won that game.
• 36:42
  Michigan beat Alabama this year, what do you say about it? I
• 36:46
  mean, it's it's it's it's it's tough because you know, you've seen the
• 36:52
  Big ten go into you know, big dog sec you know, and just
• 36:58
  get embarrassed. But that Alabama team, it did not look like they had
• 37:04
  just leaps and bounds of four and five star guys across the board. That
• 37:08
  offense was unpredictable. You couldn't hang your hat on it because you never knew
• 37:13
  was it going to be a struggle, was it going to be good.
• 37:15
  McCleland looked really good, you know at some points, and then they had
• 37:19
  trouble running the ball against some points they couldn't block up front, and so
• 37:22
  you saw, you know, they gave up forty one sacks prior to the
• 37:25
  Bowl game this year Alabama did and I think they had five or six in
• 37:31
  the game. I mean, it was it was pretty rough and it's hard
• 37:35
  to win a game like that. And so if you think, you know,
• 37:38
  I think that I may have said something about it, but like,
• 37:40
  you know, an offensive line gives up forty one sacks in a year.
• 37:45
  You can't win big time things that way. And they played lights out against
• 37:52
  I mean, shit, they should have been eliminated by Auburn that. I
• 37:55
  mean, that's still maybe the dumbest play that I've seen this year, but
• 38:00
  they should. They beat Georgia, which is what they were supposed to do.
• 38:04
  Alabama did what they were supposed to do, So I agree with you
• 38:06
  on the whole. Like think that maybe Florida State should have been in there,
• 38:07
  but who do you knock out? That Alabama game just was it was
• 38:13
  just it was just odd. It was just odd watching it because watching Michigan
• 38:16
  do that to them just was odd. You know what's interesting about that?
• 38:22
  I asked the question, how the heck could Alabama beat Georgia? Right,
• 38:29
  It's like when I went back to look at them, like wait, how
• 38:35
  like it just didn't make any sense to me in seeing the way Georgia Alabama
• 38:39
  played against Michigan and how Georgia played with Florida State. I don't really count
• 38:45
  that game for them because you know, like I said, most of them
• 38:46
  le enough. But how did Bama beat Georgia the way they did in the
• 38:55
  SEC championship game? Like I don't think Georgia Alabama's a bad team, Like,
• 39:00
  don't get it twisted, like it's it's Bama, it's Sabing, it's
• 39:04
  you know, the legacy, it's the greatest coach in college football history.
• 39:07
  Right. But and it's funny because Georgia has lost two games. If they're
• 39:15
  thirty and two in their last thirty two games, right, the two games
• 39:22
  they lost are the SEC championship games Tobama. So in this long winning streak,
• 39:30
  they've lost two two championships conference championships on one one, they're one and
• 39:37
  one and two out of the three games and could not win the thing,
• 39:45
  right, And but they the only two losses are Tobama. So it's fascinating
• 39:49
  to see that. And Thenbama loses to both two playoff teams this year.
• 39:53
  They lose and we say it's a bad, bad season for them. They
• 39:57
  lose to Texas they lose to Michigan, who are both in the playoffs.
• 40:00
  Like, I get that we want to say that the Saban dynasty is done.
• 40:05
  But I think the difference is is that he's playing with a lot of
• 40:12
  I think you're probably right. It is me breaking up. It's my Internet
• 40:15
  must be acting weird again. It's that Saving and them are playing with younger
• 40:24
  players, while Michigan and Washington are playing with a bunch of veteran players.
• 40:29
  Right, they're playing with the older guys. They're playing with guys that have
• 40:35
  years of experience. They've got the super seniors. So but this is the
• 40:40
  end we're about at the end of the road. Next season, I believe,
• 40:45
  is the last season you will see the influx of super seniors because them
• 40:52
  COVID seasons are about to be used up. We're done, no longer around.
• 41:00
  It's a rap. Time to move on. But Michigan, though,
• 41:04
  Michigan did everything that I can see us doing in the future. We talk
• 41:08
  about we talk about how we want the trenches to be strong. We want
• 41:15
  to go out there bully people like we bullied Texas when we played them in
• 41:21
  the Red River rivalry. And the way that Schmitty brings back what we used
• 41:27
  to do in the early two thousands era of Oklahoma football. That is what
• 41:31
  I'm expecting out of us going forward. Is similar to what Michigan is doing.
• 41:36
  Sharon Moore is doing what we used to do with Schmidty back in the
• 41:39
  early years of Oklahoma when he played. Here looks the exact same muscle,
• 41:45
  push people around with a bunch of three and forced three star offensive linemen,
• 41:52
  Like they ain't really know a five star offensive lineman on that team right now,
• 41:54
  not the one starting go look it up. Somebody actually pulled up all
• 41:58
  the players that Sharon Moore hey got, and I was just like, dang,
• 42:01
  they really ain't that impressive, Like they're not. They just they're developed.
• 42:07
  So I anticipate we should see something similar going forward with beaten Bow,
• 42:12
  now that he has a coach that knows how to do a roster management and
• 42:15
  actually let him do his job, right or Am I wrong? Yeah?
• 42:21
  Yeah, no, I mean you're right. And I also got to say
• 42:24
  this is on the defensive offensive line. Listen, you can talk three and
• 42:31
  four or five stars all day long. I don't really I'm not there yet.
• 42:38
  I just think that it is so hard to have. It's so hard
• 42:45
  for some of these guys to project Jordan's Seaton. This guy could be somebody,
• 42:51
  or he could be absolutely nobody, And it's so much harder to be
• 42:53
  a five star offensive lineman. You know, I've said it before. In
• 42:58
  high school, you're playing against one to two maybe and this is in a
• 43:01
  big boy football too. You're playing one to two really solid defensive linemen each
• 43:09
  year that you're playing in high school football. And then everybody across from you
• 43:15
  is that guy, and some of those guys were that guy's in his high
• 43:20
  school and there are absolutely nothing across from you. The the point of it
• 43:25
  is is the I think that McCarthy and I mean, that was not a
• 43:32
  good offensive game. It was not a good offensive game. I'm looking at
• 43:36
  the stats right now. Milroe had one hundred and sixteen yards passing. JJ
• 43:39
  McCarthy had two twenty one, and it was just it was a tough game.
• 43:45
  But you can't you can't just expect a four or five star, you
• 43:52
  know, Leiden offensive line. Listen, I'll say Caden Proctor, Hank,
• 43:55
  I think that you said something about it. Caden Proctor is going to be
• 43:59
  a first on draft pick. That guy is an absolute stud. He is
• 44:01
  going to be a baller. But he is eighteen nineteen years old playing in
• 44:06
  you know, national Championships semi final, and it's it's it's a tough it's
• 44:10
  a tough go. So don't be you know, don't be confused by or
• 44:15
  you know, don't think that you know, the four or five stars,
• 44:20
  the Big ten knows how to run the football. It's the pass blocking that
• 44:23
  has essentially got them in decent trouble in the past. But I think that
• 44:28
  some of those things are starting to catch back up. That being said,
• 44:32
  I mean, you know, so we get Jay back on here in the
• 44:37
  chat. I mean, just let me know, you know, let me
• 44:39
  know what other Bowl games. You know, you had Kansas with Jason Bean
• 44:44
  throwing for damn near five hundred yards six touchdowns. It's been you know,
• 44:49
  it was a really really interesting game. You had the Red River Light Bowl,
• 44:53
  you know, go on, and I mean it's you know, it
• 45:00
  is the capitalization of that meme of I'm gonna tell my kids this was you
• 45:04
  know, this was Mike Gundy and it shows the Tiger king. You know.
• 45:07
  It's like, there were so many really really good Bowl games in here.
• 45:09
  But again, you know I'm not let's not get into the do we
• 45:15
  do we see college football just tearing itself apart? No, we don't.
• 45:22
  But I promise you, I absolutely promise you is even without nil on the
• 45:28
  transfer portal, these bowl games, nobody cares about some of these games.
• 45:32
  No, this, I mean you can tell in the sponsorships from somebody who
• 45:37
  is in that world. It's not you know, some of these bowl games,
• 45:43
  these sponsors are like, who the hell? What what Duke's Mayo Bowl?
• 45:45
  Like? Really is mayonnaise that profitable that we're dumping Mayo? Or are
• 45:50
  we still just doing that because it's funny to watch someone get Mayo dumped on
• 45:53
  them. Well, let me let me ask you this, though, someone
• 45:57
  coming from the industry selling these type of and stuff, is it sports the
• 46:02
  highest premium and the highest viewership in the highest return on investment when it comes
• 46:07
  to advertising. So still, local news is in most everything else in most
• 46:15
  markets, sports is right behind that. And we have had since like twenty
• 46:22
  eighteen, we have had a lot of stuff happened that was hyper local that
• 46:27
  affects now. Doesn't matter if you're Dallas, if you're Tennessee, if you're
• 46:30
  Florida, if you're California, Washington, whatever. We saw a little bit
• 46:35
  of a resurgence in some of the local news. But here's the thing is,
• 46:37
  when it's local news and sports, local news is going to always continue
• 46:43
  to struggle little by little because you're not replacing users, right right that as
• 46:51
  someone who is watching the news right now goes to our lord, they are
• 46:55
  not being replaced by some twenty five year old who's like, I don't think
• 46:58
  I'm gonna start watching local news this week. Why right here the cell phone,
• 47:04
  there's my daughter. Just in case you guys, it's pretty girl.
• 47:06
  It didn't come back up. But anyway, so yeah, a Trojan connomist
• 47:10
  Bowl. But that's that's just the The sponsorships around it are tough. The
• 47:17
  bowl games are tough. I mean, there's a reason why you get March
• 47:21
  Madness, who I'm pretty sure is one of the biggest weeks months you know
• 47:25
  times. I mean, it's it's it's a whole month. Right if you
• 47:29
  say, what sports do you think of in March? Every March Madness right
• 47:31
  right, it's it's right there, right. It is the thing that's propping
• 47:36
  up the n c l A even with that, I mean, you're watching
• 47:38
  some of these games on True TV. If they were legitimately big money makers
• 47:45
  for a television market, that is, you you would see some of these
• 47:50
  games on CBS, S, you know, ESPN, you know, some
• 47:53
  bigger networks instead of True TV. But I will say this is it is
• 48:00
  getting tougher, and especially it was because guess what, I sold some of
• 48:06
  these games at ABC. I love college sports. Obviously I saw about six
• 48:12
  different Bowl games seven maybe they are about seven different games, and I promise
• 48:17
  you none of them were in middle Tennessee State versus Troy or anything like that.
• 48:22
  Like nobody's watching that crap outside of the moms and and you know,
• 48:25
  grads and people sitting at airports in airports or was just running on the TV
• 48:30
  in the background, right, I mean, but that's how it's both being.
• 48:34
  To me, I've always just had the games running. If I'm watching
• 48:37
  them, I'm watching, but they're playing. Yeah, So I would just
• 48:43
  I would say that is it's going to be continued to be tougher. And
• 48:47
  I think that the fact that it's Michigan versus Washington this year is really really
• 48:52
  good, even though that there are two markets that nobody is too excited about
• 48:57
  being in there. But it's a reset, right, people can watch it,
• 49:01
  but I kid you not. And we learned this with Michael Jordan,
• 49:06
  We learned this with Tom Brady, with Bill Belichick, Rooting for a fan
• 49:13
  base just getting excited can't be good. You cannot have a National Championship,
• 49:20
  a super Bowl with two crap people and no villain. You gotta have a
• 49:23
  villain. You gotta have a Michael Jordan who's winning the damn thing every year.
• 49:28
  You gotta have a Bill Belichick who wins it every other year. You
• 49:30
  got to have a Nick Saban. So it's going to be tough. And
• 49:32
  guess who's going to play that villain role this year. It's going to be
• 49:36
  Old Spygate with Michigan. And but it is a it's a pretty weak sauce.
• 49:43
  It's a pretty weak sauce villain. And it's kind of like Mister Freees
• 49:46
  Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Little Batman film, Like, yes, it's a villain.
• 49:50
  Is it a good one? No? And I think that that's what
• 49:52
  Michigan is going to going to play. But that's kind of what you need.
• 49:57
  You need that Bama in there. And you need a Georgia need brands,
• 50:00
  uh, you need people who are getting tired at brand exhaustion. Because
• 50:04
  people want to watch Alabama lose too. There's a humongous faction of a lot
• 50:08
  of hate watch a lot of nobody. Even with what Michigan did. Nobody's
• 50:13
  like I want them cheap bastards to you know, because they haven't won anything
• 50:16
  anyway. When the Astros did it, you could rally against them because they've
• 50:21
  been winning quite a bit and everybody's kind of sick of them. So that's
• 50:24
  my rant. But I would just say it's it's some of these Bowl games
• 50:28
  are really rough. And you know, don't look at Bowl season and go,
• 50:31
  man, about two thirds of that is completely unnecessary. It's been that
• 50:36
  way for about two decades. And if you're just talking, I don't know
• 50:38
  where you got two decades from. It's been there for long, and it's
• 50:40
  been it's been that bad as since I've been alive. I'm saying long yea
• 50:45
  time at least, because and that's what it is most of these Bowl games.
• 50:49
  And it's funny, my buddy, he may be in here, furry,
• 50:52
  he made furry Murray, he may pull up, but we talked about
• 50:55
  this, and he's been talking my child. They should do like a mid
• 50:58
  season bowl game or whatnot, just like in the middle of the season,
• 51:01
  do like picks of people with similar records haven't planned, just like game blah
• 51:05
  blah blah. And the problem with that is is the thing you got to
• 51:08
  recognize is that the reason why these bowl games exist and are even profitable around
• 51:17
  the fans is it's travel season, it's vacation season. It's the time of
• 51:22
  the year when people can take time off work easily. Ain't much going.
• 51:25
  I mean, it's shopping season, so it's Christmas time and New Year's and
• 51:30
  so fans are taking time off. Most businesses are basically skeleton crews at this
• 51:34
  point, and they're all traveling in their own vacation. So it makes it
• 51:37
  convenient you do something mid season like ain't nobody gonna be able to do it,
• 51:40
  especially if you don't know where you're going within a two week span,
• 51:44
  right, you don't get price gouged. Regardless, it's just gonna be even
• 51:46
  worse because you've only got a week to figure out your accommodations to go to
• 51:51
  the game. So it wouldn't work. But overall, I just think the
• 51:54
  most of the ball games have been this way anyway, most of them been
• 51:57
  just like just it's a ceremonial thing at the end of the season that some
• 52:02
  fans care about, others don't. Some people care about going to, you
• 52:07
  know, whatever bowl game that exists, Like the Alamo Bow is considered the
• 52:09
  bowl game, the top bowl game right behind the New Year six. Cool.
• 52:15
  We complain about going to the Alamo Bowl because we're getting tired of going
• 52:17
  to San Antonio, even though it's an easier travel for us outside of the
• 52:23
  Cotton Bowl. Right, It's just it is what it is, and so
• 52:29
  most of these games are just for the fans to be able to travel,
• 52:32
  you know. Those that don't get basically it's for the rest of college football
• 52:38
  because ninety five percent of them are not going to be playing in a playoff
• 52:44
  game. That's really what the bowl season is for. It's for that.
• 52:46
  Jason posted this in here, and I thought this was pretty interesting. This
• 52:51
  was a pretty good point. You know what I take from the collegeball playoffs.
• 52:55
  Texas blew a better shot than Nady than oh you ever had. I
• 52:58
  disagree. They blew a shot at Oklahoma had in their three of their trips.
• 53:07
  Seventeen, we should have won a national championship. That was Bama's worst
• 53:09
  team probably in all the title teams they won. That was the game where
• 53:14
  two where hurts got taken out for TUA and we should have beat Georgia in
• 53:17
  that game we beat We were favored in that game by eight points. We
• 53:22
  were eight point favorites going in that game against Georgia at the Rose Bowl,
• 53:25
  eight point favorites. Lincoln right took us throughout the gas that game. That
• 53:31
  game we should have won. We win that game. We won the last
• 53:37
  championship because there's nothing that keeps you from winning the title. And that year
• 53:40
  against that was the one year I felt like Bama were their most vulnerable.
• 53:46
  That was their most vulnerable. Now that James, I will agree with you
• 53:50
  there that seventeen team in this Texas team probably an equal when it comes to
• 53:57
  actually having a good chance of winning the title because the playing field is a
• 54:00
  lot more level. This was Texas chance. Next year with them losing,
• 54:07
  I think they're losing eight or nine starters on the defensive side of the ball.
• 54:12
  Now they're gonna have a lot of contributors coming back and playing. But
• 54:15
  they're losing a lot of people on both sides of the ball with starting time,
• 54:21
  and yeah, and it correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't Baker
• 54:27
  had the flu or something leading up to the Georgia game too, and you
• 54:30
  got that situation. You got the freaking squib kick and let's not let's let's
• 54:37
  let's talk about Jesus and the election or something, because if I start talking
• 54:43
  about that Georgia game, I'll lose my shit. But I do. I
• 54:46
  do say this. I do both of those teams, both those teams,
• 54:52
  Georgia and Alabama team. I mean, I mean Oklahoma, like in that
• 54:57
  game, we have we have I mean you got to think about it.
• 55:00
  You have Rodney Anderson, who was the best player on the field that day,
• 55:06
  and D Westbrook, Yeah, d D Westbrook. And that's with that's
• 55:10
  with Chubb and Sony Michelle on the other side. So you got you got
• 55:16
  Subchony. I mean, Michelle didn't do much in the NFL, but he
• 55:20
  was he was the dude in college. Uh. Nick Chubb obviously he's done
• 55:23
  okay for himself. Rodney Anderson, injuries, D D. Westbrook, Baker,
• 55:30
  Mayfield, Mark Andrews, Young, Hollywood, I mean, there was
• 55:34
  just so many different guys in that league on that game, and it was
• 55:37
  I mean a lot of people say it's the best college football playoff game of
• 55:40
  all time, so I mean it is. Now. I hate being on
• 55:45
  the other side of the that that game even more when I hear that.
• 55:49
  But anyway, it's it's it's down. It's so good. But I think
• 55:57
  that we knew this year going into it, this was going to be a
• 56:00
  little bit of a wide open year if Georgia struggled at all. Georgia did
• 56:07
  have their struggles. Man, I'm not usually a dude who takes a shot
• 56:12
  at how a dude looks. Every time they show Home Boy at Georgia and
• 56:16
  the quarterback, I just I just, I mean, I just feel bad
• 56:22
  for the kid. I mean, it literally looks like they went and picked
• 56:24
  up a kid and they were like, you're kind of tall once you come
• 56:28
  play quarterback. And he looks like a damn lollipop. He's just rail thin
• 56:31
  and this big noggin. But they were showing him and he's like, yeah,
• 56:35
  he's coming back because he wants another shot. He wants to go to
• 56:37
  the National championship game. But you know, there's going next year is going
• 56:43
  to be entertaining. There's gonna be a lot of entertaining stuff going next year
• 56:46
  because again, you've now got more of an NFL format where you do not
• 56:51
  have to go undefeated, no offense in Florida State. You can lose a
• 56:57
  game, you can develop, you can work, call some stuff, and
• 57:00
  it's going to be very very interesting to see how head coaches managed this,
• 57:04
  because do you trot out somebody who's been dealing with you know, does does
• 57:09
  our offensive cruise say Jackson go crazy if we if you have to, if
• 57:15
  you miss a game with a concussion, it's not damning. We're fine,
• 57:17
  right like it? Do coaches coach differently next year with that? Don't get
• 57:24
  twisted. I still think you got three or four teams that have a legit
• 57:29
  shot. The number sixteen team. We may never see that win. That
• 57:34
  is uh yep, brock Oswiller Junior. That's pretty good. But yeah,
• 57:38
  you're going to see a really really cool transition. You also got to see,
• 57:45
  you know, something a little different. Is Nico over at Tennessee.
• 57:49
  If you think Jackson Arnold had some struggles, Nico threw for like one hundred
• 57:53
  some odd yards. It was against Iowa was defense. Yeah, it it
• 57:59
  would was going to it was. It was against Iowa's defense. So there's
• 58:02
  that. They are really really good. But it was like a hundred some
• 58:06
  o yards they blew the hell out of Iowa. But it was that was
• 58:10
  a rough That was a rough game to watch. That was tough. But
• 58:13
  you've got a lot of young quarterbacks coming in and you know, transfer portal's
• 58:16
  not done yet either. So next year, next year's gonna be fun.
• 58:20
  Yeah, yeah, fixture, it is gonna be interesting because of that.
• 58:22
  So all right, thank y'all for pulling up. Hit that like button.
• 58:25
  If you're new to the channel, subscribe, go ahead and get those numbers
• 58:29
  up for us. I know that we're we're riding into the OU Insider Show
• 58:34
  as they're giving y'all all the great intail of everything. But I want to
• 58:36
  talk about this all American game, right. I know y'all was watching.
• 58:39
  I actually had a video that I was gonna queue up but decided not to
• 58:43
  put together. I was like, well, I mean, I'm a couple
• 58:45
  of days late. Well we can talk about it. I think it'd be
• 58:47
  better for me and Coop talk about it. But Coop, you see a
• 58:51
  lot of them. Highlights from the practices of the under Armor All American Game.
• 58:53
  There's so many blazes that you can go on this one. It's cool.
• 58:59
  These games often feel like the practices are kind of more telling than the
• 59:02
  actual game, just because you don't have any uniformity, you don't have any
• 59:10
  they, you don't have any type of a you know, chemistry. But
• 59:15
  though you guys showed out and that fellaw right there. He he means business.
• 59:21
  And if you think, if you think that he is not listening to,
• 59:25
  if you think that he is not listening to a couple of the oh,
• 59:30
  what's the word I'm looking for, the talking heads, especially you know
• 59:35
  the ds is out of Texas area talking about he doesn't live breath and breathe
• 59:38
  and eat football. Shut up, don't focus on your hoping and you know,
• 59:45
  telling Texas fans that they're going to win a national championship next year.
• 59:47
  Leave our guys alone, because David Stone is a monster. Yeah he hasn't
• 59:52
  he hasn't met Schmidt yet. Right and I look at this, right here,
• 59:55
  you have Eugene Brooks right here on the offensive line. We winner an
• 59:59
  offensive lineman. Look at the way he's pushing and fighting right here in the
• 1:00:01
  line. And that's what everybody wants, won't guards that can do this?
• 1:00:06
  You're getting it right, Yeah, I can coo me out here fighting uh,
• 1:00:09
  little Zulu who was actually really good. But zenwis gun. Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Zina was. Sina was cooking. Zina was cooking as well. But you
• 1:00:17
  saw, you're you're you're watching here, You're watching Brooks out here. Look
• 1:00:21
  at him just fighting them. That's the offensive line play everybody was asking for,
• 1:00:24
  right, look at that, Look at that. That's what you're looking
• 1:00:29
  for. We're getting it. We got it Brooks. Make no mistake.
• 1:00:37
  I think that we're going to Will they be effective as freshmen? And listen,
• 1:00:44
  this is good for depth. This is very very good for depth because
• 1:00:47
  I think I can coom me uh. I mean, dudeses have been playing
• 1:00:52
  across the pond. He is a dude who is going to come in.
• 1:00:55
  He has got size, he has got the want. Eugene Brooks already looks
• 1:01:00
  better e p. L. A lot of people are saying that you were
• 1:01:02
  going to be much more surprised about how you know, how he performs.
• 1:01:07
  If you watch the game. Stone had a couple of moments where You're like,
• 1:01:12
  God bless America, you know, because usually when a guy makes a
• 1:01:15
  play like that in the Army Armor All American Game, he's going to Georgia
• 1:01:19
  or you know, Alabama. But it was great to see him pop up
• 1:01:22
  as in Oklahoma. And yeah, it's go watch the game. It was.
• 1:01:28
  It was on today. I've got it recorded and I was watching through
• 1:01:30
  half of it. But uh, these guys, these guys are are balling
• 1:01:36
  out a koye during his game. He absolutely was a freaking monster too.
• 1:01:42
  And uh and I've been working on Stony guys, I've been working on him.
• 1:01:45
  He has more than just Oklahoma folks going after him. There's a lot
• 1:01:49
  of people. But yeah, it's uh uh we this is this is good.
• 1:01:54
  I mean, I think during the routes, a lot of the practices
• 1:01:59
  you also had uh Devon Mitchell out there. He didn't hit the ball thrown
• 1:02:02
  his way a lot, but but he definitely he definitely was a menace.
• 1:02:07
  And he looks phenomenal. Yep. And look at our Kukumi right here.
• 1:02:12
  Look at him. The motor on this dude. He wants to be great.
• 1:02:15
  Look at him. Even some of the battles he lass you saw him
• 1:02:19
  keep coming back for more. That was the thing that jumped out to me
• 1:02:22
  the most about his game and the way that he plays is like, oh,
• 1:02:23
  you you you really want to You're really trying to be great at this
• 1:02:28
  right like you really do care about you know, trying to take somebody starting
• 1:02:31
  spot. You're trying to take t away. Hey maybe and listen, did
• 1:02:37
  you hear his quote about he wants to be an NFL player and he's going
• 1:02:42
  to handle his business from day one as an NFL player. That I mean,
• 1:02:46
  those are the things you want to hear. Those are the things you
• 1:02:49
  absolutely want to hear. And so yeah, it's it's exciting because you got
• 1:02:52
  guys like at King Koumi, you got Brooks epl coming in. You're gonna
• 1:02:59
  have have you know, second year in the system. From all these guys.
• 1:03:01
  There's not very many guys outside of like the Nestas or the the baseball
• 1:03:07
  players, the two sport athletes that are going to be coming in the summer.
• 1:03:12
  So a lot of these guys are going to be here or they're they're
• 1:03:14
  working out already. You know, you had ever was already working out in
• 1:03:19
  the for the Bowl game. It's again we're going to start seeing some of
• 1:03:23
  these guys come in and you mentioned it before. I've heard Jason say it,
• 1:03:29
  so shout out to Jason too. But you get all these guys back
• 1:03:34
  and now you have all this veteran leadership that is extra coaches on the field
• 1:03:38
  telling guys what to do. Yep. You look at Zion raging over here.
• 1:03:44
  They're all ranging the cage. You can just just out and you got
• 1:03:47
  him out here. Muslim folks, you know you add saying with him at
• 1:03:55
  him when you're talking. I know, I talk von Mitchell touchdown where he
• 1:04:01
  ran to do it over and getting with the horns down right after you about
• 1:04:05
  to pull it on the mix. You've got everything all the time, like
• 1:04:11
  what like what the planes do we have out of the plays? This is
• 1:04:14
  the thing that got Maya two times. Is we really just twenty fourth class?
• 1:04:20
  But it's just it's anyway, and how many five stars you know,
• 1:04:29
  go to Alabama, go to Georgia and spit behind other four and five stars
• 1:04:32
  at our guys on you know, all American watching this guy here. It
• 1:04:35
  is that's a text that's a Texas recruit, by the way, that's a
• 1:04:39
  Texas signing that he just tossed around. So that's why he horns down because
• 1:04:45
  he just punks the text. Me got it. So, but yeah,
• 1:04:48
  you've got so many of these kids who are going to come in and if
• 1:04:53
  you will have you you're a tenured player, honestly, and you think that
• 1:04:59
  you're going to show up whenever puts your job at it ain't. You're gonna
• 1:05:03
  have compete because for every year of service that you got, you got two
• 1:05:09
  guys now that want to take your job. Yep. And then Stone out
• 1:05:14
  there in the game, he got himself a couple of tackles for a loss,
• 1:05:16
  disrupted some plays look good. He looked good. He looked like he
• 1:05:21
  was the best defensive lineman out there period. Now you know some of the
• 1:05:27
  competition out there. Zeno did look good in his in his plays Wims,
• 1:05:31
  when near, he actually looked good. When the game film turned on,
• 1:05:35
  you could tell he's not a practice guy. He's more of a just a
• 1:05:38
  I play when the when when the lights are on type guy. He showed
• 1:05:42
  out. He looked good too. He got himself tackle full loss. I'm
• 1:05:44
  a sack. So it was just intriguing seeing just how good both of them.
• 1:05:50
  We're going so I don't know, man. All I know is y'all
• 1:05:56
  should be excited about what we got coming out on the line because I know
• 1:05:59
  I am going into next season. So let's wrap this bad boy up,
• 1:06:03
  Let's put a bowl on it, let's talk about it. What you're hearing
• 1:06:15
  in them streets, Coupe, I know you hear some stuff, right,
• 1:06:18
  I know you hear some secrets. I know you've got something in there because
• 1:06:23
  I heard it a couple of days. If you guys are waiting on David
• 1:06:27
  Hicks, stop, yes, so I would uh, I think over the
• 1:06:32
  past a little while. I think I don't know. I don't know what
• 1:06:35
  it is. I mean, there's there's all that's not that's not a that's
• 1:06:41
  not a future decision. But it's all right. I think we saw our
• 1:06:45
  Mason Thomas show some flashes in the bowl game. Here we go, So
• 1:06:51
  there's some excitement right there, Jaden Jackson. This team's influx of leader ship,
• 1:07:00
  young young captains on their teams, stuff like that. Those things should
• 1:07:05
  not go unnoticed because if you've got a team full of leaders, then you've
• 1:07:11
  got a team that's that's looking to go do some work. So we're still
• 1:07:15
  working on the offensive line. You know, I'm feeling good about the offensive
• 1:07:18
  line. I don't think that. I don't think that you at this point,
• 1:07:27
  if you haven't already had people kind of on the radar, we're not
• 1:07:30
  getting any type of craziness. The transfer portal is different from recruiting. It
• 1:07:39
  is absolutely different because decisions can change like that, and it's not decisions,
• 1:07:47
  it is bags. So that is it just is what it is. And
• 1:07:54
  you know, you saw, you know, I was a little frustrated because
• 1:07:59
  I've heard I've heard guys like Vandamark had committed, told Betanba told oh you
• 1:08:06
  you know, he's coming, and then he chose to stay at Michigan State.
• 1:08:11
  I got no issues with that. That's completely fine. Stay if you're
• 1:08:15
  going to stay at the school that you're at, that's great. Don't tell
• 1:08:17
  us you're coming, and then Colorado says up at ten k and you can
• 1:08:23
  come here. So you've got those types of situations. The Casey Thompson to
• 1:08:28
  Oklahoma, I have heard multiple different things there. I've heard that he told
• 1:08:34
  the coaches staff that he's going to be there. I've heard that compliance stuff
• 1:08:39
  was going down. His name's not in the system. I know that there's
• 1:08:43
  a little bit of an odd rule. I think that is it five days
• 1:08:46
  from the end of the National Championship is when the teams that have players in
• 1:08:53
  the playoffs, yes have five days from the national game. They have five
• 1:08:58
  days from their game. So that's why you say this massive influx of BAMA
• 1:09:01
  players in the portal the last couple of days is because once their game ended,
• 1:09:10
  they got the extension, so they got the five days and it's gonna
• 1:09:14
  be big. And you know, and I get you, Jason. What
• 1:09:17
  I've heard is that he's a PWO and he's just gonna be there as a
• 1:09:21
  veteran backup. That's it. So he's coming home. He's from Newcastle,
• 1:09:27
  he gets to come home get a graduate degree from OU. But yeah,
• 1:09:33
  he's gonna actually be here. It looks like, you know, supposedly,
• 1:09:38
  he's gonna be here to hang out. And I like the idea of having
• 1:09:41
  a veteran quarterback to go to all the young guys because it's gonna be literally
• 1:09:44
  Jackson Arnold general Booty and then you're gonna have my Michael Hawkins as well as
• 1:09:48
  Brendan Zebra. Which that's a pretty good room when you look at the numbers,
• 1:09:54
  the way they did, the way they executed in high school. I
• 1:09:58
  don't think any tho. Dude's gonna have fear of going out there and playing.
• 1:10:01
  And so yeah you'll see, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jason,
• 1:10:06
  he'll be here to be a backup. He already knows that. That was
• 1:10:12
  like in the stipulation of him coming, his understanding that you're not here to
• 1:10:15
  start and there's no there's no competition. I put it like this, This
• 1:10:20
  is similar to the Ou Jackson Arnold conversation, but like in reverse, because
• 1:10:28
  the Jackson Arnold conversation was I'm sorry, the Jackson Dart situation that got my
• 1:10:36
  Jackson's mixed up. Jackson Dart wants to come here to compete, to start,
• 1:10:40
  and basically he's like, no, you can come here and be a
• 1:10:43
  backup though, because Dylan Gables gonna start a quarterback, and he's like,
• 1:10:47
  all right now I'm out. So that's why I end up an o miss.
• 1:10:51
  So I get Jason doesn't like him as I like him as a backup.
• 1:10:56
  I'm actually fond of him as as a backup person. And here's why.
• 1:11:01
  Here's why Michael Hawkins has done jack ship in college football. Zero nothing,
• 1:11:10
  not even a complete nothing. Thompson is he has one games and he
• 1:11:15
  is he is. You need a guy like that in this day and age.
• 1:11:19
  In this day and age, it is damn lucky that you can have
• 1:11:23
  somebody who has game management, game experience as one games it has won,
• 1:11:30
  you know, has played in big time football. You gotta have that,
• 1:11:33
  is he If if Jackson Arnold goes down for more than a game, your
• 1:11:39
  seasons is already in issues. I promise you this though, is Casey Thompson,
• 1:11:45
  this will be the best team he's ever been on. Yep okay,
• 1:11:50
  and yeah, it is breaking place there. Jackson Arnold was was was a
• 1:11:59
  five star Gatory Player of the Year. All you know, he's also playing.
• 1:12:04
  He's also playing six games, so I kind of it's kind of different.
• 1:12:09
  They've got to watch him for a full year. They ain't got to
• 1:12:12
  watch Hawkins of Zerbrug pick up the offense yet. I think that that's one
• 1:12:15
  of the big difference, is Jason on that to me, is that you
• 1:12:18
  it's the it's that they don't. They haven't They want a veteran there that
• 1:12:25
  can come in and quickly pick up the offense because he's used to college football
• 1:12:29
  terminology to break glass if needed. That's basically it. I prefer Jackson playing
• 1:12:35
  as a sophomore. I don't like freshman playing. Y'all know me. I
• 1:12:39
  don't like freshman playing at all. I'll roll with I can't roll with Hawkins
• 1:12:45
  that early. I don't like playing freshmen. I don't. I just don't.
• 1:12:48
  They're the easiest ones to trick. They're usually the ones that get caught
• 1:12:51
  staring down players hens Jackson Donald did it in his ball game. But the
• 1:12:56
  beauty of it is now he has an entire six months to stop doing it
• 1:13:00
  with a new opense, which things are gonna change for him, which is
• 1:13:02
  a good thing. It's gonna all change. But yeah, that's not I
• 1:13:05
  don't. I don't like I just like freshman. I've always said that,
• 1:13:10
  and I will say this too. The game of denting Geier Jackson Arnolds senior
• 1:13:17
  year versus Michael Hawkins his junior year when he was still at Allen. Those
• 1:13:25
  were two different guys, two different situations, and Michael Hawkins did little to
• 1:13:30
  nothing in that game, almost nothing. And I will just say that is
• 1:13:35
  we still haven't seen him done it. And I believe he went to North
• 1:13:39
  Shore. My uncle covers down and down in that area. I think Michael
• 1:13:43
  Hawkins at after that game, I was worried about him. I'm not worried
• 1:13:47
  about him now because he looks somewhere between a Paul Thompson, Kyler Murray somewhere
• 1:13:55
  in the vicinity in that area, and he is going to be a baller
• 1:14:00
  kids eighteen years old. He I mean, he might be seventeen shit at
• 1:14:03
  this point. So you've gotta have somebody like that come in because if Jackson
• 1:14:09
  Arnold goes down on the road at LSU, you cannot tell me that Michael
• 1:14:15
  Hawkins is a better option to go out there then than Casey Thompson. Now
• 1:14:25
  it being said, is do I think that should we see Casey Thompson play
• 1:14:31
  at all? Ever? Like, no, I don't want him to see
• 1:14:35
  it, because I would like to see if it's a blowout time, I'd
• 1:14:40
  like to see him come in and let's see what happens. Now, does
• 1:14:44
  Hawkins come in he's a legacy. Does he come in and pick up the
• 1:14:48
  offense pretty quickly and start learning some stuff. Michael Hawkins is a guy that
• 1:14:55
  we can see on the field next year because the guy can move, he
• 1:14:59
  has a good pocket presence. He's fast, no, really good in the
• 1:15:02
  pocket. I think that's my favorite thing about it, is his ability in
• 1:15:04
  the pocket. He can move in the pocket well, I think and you
• 1:15:08
  and I give you a hoigh take on this one. I think Brennan Zerbrugg
• 1:15:11
  is a better athlete than Michael Hawkins. Yeah, I think Zerbrug is a
• 1:15:15
  better athlete. I think Michael is just so poised in the pocket and knows
• 1:15:19
  how to move in there. He he's he I mean, he's athletic as
• 1:15:23
  hell, but at the same time, he's very good in the pocket.
• 1:15:27
  Brendan Zolbrug is one that's gonna, yeah, we can't sleep on now.
• 1:15:30
  I actually feel like I fear him being a portal guy after a year here,
• 1:15:39
  just because of how I think he's more talented that people are giving him
• 1:15:42
  props for. But uh no, between those two, man, it's gonna
• 1:15:45
  be a fun competitive battle to see who wins that number two. I cannot
• 1:15:50
  wait to hear the practice stories just because of our talented Both of them are
• 1:15:56
  exactly and there's listen, I've got some pretty well sources that tell me Zurbrug
• 1:16:03
  or Hawkins one of those two guys that are going to be playing major college
• 1:16:09
  football at a different university in three years change, and I can see it
• 1:16:13
  makes sense. So there's almost no chance that you're keeping Jackson on Hawkins anderbrug
• 1:16:17
  for three years. It just doesn't happen in this day of day and age.
• 1:16:21
  And but I will tell you this, I would rather see. I
• 1:16:27
  would rather see that that opportunity given to a legacy in Hawkins, especially how
• 1:16:33
  his pops his time in Norman went because he had some issues. But we
• 1:16:40
  can we can wrap it up on this one. But here's if there's anything
• 1:16:44
  that I'm very very confident going into this next season is the mindset of this
• 1:16:48
  team is phenomenal. The buy in on this team is phenomenal. I think
• 1:16:53
  that you continue. You saw it late in the year to where a couple
• 1:16:56
  tweets went out if you're not in and if you're not here and if you're
• 1:16:59
  not here for the law hall, it's down to bounce. You saw some
• 1:17:01
  of that stuff and you've got You've got a lot with uh And yes,
• 1:17:08
  Thompson being a legacy as well. Granted he's had his opportunity. He's been
• 1:17:12
  on thirty six teams and you know he's never been able to wrangle it.
• 1:17:15
  But this will be the This will be the team. Uh. And I
• 1:17:18
  promise you I think I think Trevor Knight and Casey Thompson are pretty comparable quarterbacks.
• 1:17:28
  I don't want Trevor Knight ever playing at OU ever again, ever,
• 1:17:30
  ever, ever, ever again. And I definitely don't want Casey Thompson on
• 1:17:34
  there. So there's that. Uh. Thompson also went to Texas because of
• 1:17:39
  what we hadn't on our on our team, So just keep that in mind.
• 1:17:42
  But I think that you're starting to see, you're you're starting to see
• 1:17:45
  a lot of this. If you haven't, you know, go check out
• 1:17:51
  by the local the O regime that that's where we went to Texas. He
• 1:17:56
  didn't. He didn't go to Texas because he wanted to go to Texas.
• 1:18:00
  Riley didn't want them, which Riley Riley wanted. Riley didn't want him.
• 1:18:04
  Now again, from what we've seen, you know, there might have been
• 1:18:09
  something there. But he also uh, he also has recruited a lot of
• 1:18:13
  fair Just be fair with it, right, you know, I'll try to
• 1:18:15
  keep it fair. A heartbeat. If they would have given him an opportunity.
• 1:18:21
  Yeah, it's that. That that's that, that's that's what if you
• 1:18:25
  say he went to Texas. They don't do excuses. You're just stirring up
• 1:18:29
  ship at this point, because that's that's all you're trying to do, because
• 1:18:31
  there you got to be recruited by the head coach to come to the university.
• 1:18:35
  Unfortunately, especially a quarterback. That's a quarterback coach. Right. So
• 1:18:41
  but all that being said, go check out Sooner Scoop. You know,
• 1:18:44
  PRIs Billo did a He's getting drilled by a certain mother right now. But
• 1:18:48
  they're the buy in Cayden helps coming back to the team, really getting after
• 1:18:51
  it like there. It is great. Somebody brought it up earlier, but
• 1:18:58
  there is you know, seeing Stutsman walk off the field with Jackson Arnold.
• 1:19:03
  Guys, we're seeing some really special stuff. That is, you know,
• 1:19:10
  in this day and age of the transfer portal, we're seeing a lot of
• 1:19:13
  special stuff and a lot of really really good family and environment things going on.
• 1:19:18
  This is still a business and you've got to go and you've got to
• 1:19:20
  win and you've got to produce. But these are the things that are good.
• 1:19:25
  So the cycle of Oklahoma fans is is this way is In about two
• 1:19:34
  to three weeks, the hopium is going to start going like this, right,
• 1:19:40
  We're gonna win the national championship by February. We got a lot of
• 1:19:44
  tools, a lot of assets, a lot of toys to play with,
• 1:19:47
  and they all love each other and they're doing a great job and they're continuing
• 1:19:50
  to coach them. This is good. I will say this. If we
• 1:19:56
  get down to the backup quarterback, it's we're in a different conversation anyway.
• 1:20:01
  You know, it's never gone. You know, they're the few and far
• 1:20:05
  between on the stories where the backup comes in and becomes somebody long term.
• 1:20:10
  So but it is great. This is a great time to be an Oklahoma
• 1:20:15
  fan. There are a lot of opportunities for a lot of different players.
• 1:20:19
  There are a lot of guys who are going to get their second year in
• 1:20:23
  the system. And you saw what happened in the second year with the guys
• 1:20:26
  that we had on campus. Now, so you give Peyton Bowen a second
• 1:20:30
  year and his broken broken finger. I don't know if you saw that in
• 1:20:32
  the bowl game, dislocated or whatever, but a lot of it the offensive
• 1:20:38
  room. I saw somebody make it earlier is you get andrel Anthony back close
• 1:20:43
  to what he was with Gibson with but with uh Nick six guys, the
• 1:20:55
  Purdue transfer Dean Burks like, we're going to have ourselves a full on,
• 1:21:00
  a full on wide receiver and tied in room. You're throwing too, Von
• 1:21:03
  Mitchell. We're still going after the Roberts tied in out of Baylor. There
• 1:21:11
  is a lot of time to smile, and so let's just continue to watch
• 1:21:16
  it. The spring game will be here before we realize, and everybody will
• 1:21:19
  be all jacked up about the you know, eighth string running back. You
• 1:21:25
  know, we've got a lot of we got a lot of opportunities in front
• 1:21:28
  of us, and trust me, you're gonna see the You're gonna see ESPN,
• 1:21:34
  ABC start rolling out some crazy, crazy crazy stuff here pretty quickly,
• 1:21:40
  because I promise you on Tuesday nights or too sorry, excuse me, Tuesday
• 1:21:45
  morning next week, we've got full on, We've got full on twenty fourth
• 1:21:50
  season in college football. They're going to move straight to it, and it's
• 1:21:54
  going to be time to start, you know, propping up everything that's going
• 1:21:58
  on. Yep, all right, So I'm gonna wrap it up. Thank
