• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Wow, I wasn't paying attention.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well that's okay, I know we don't expect you to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: pay attention. Yeah, I mean I feel like we ought to. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: maybe you guys need to step up your game a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, that means I would have one at some point.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Forget it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I mean we haven't talked in a while.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I know we're thinking about just seeing that. There's been
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: To talk about, the whole new coaching staff, half a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: new roster, evamp.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: It's right.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: We live in an era where things change so rapid quickly.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I mean it is amazing. I mean, you've got a
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: team playing, you got teams playing for a national championship.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: There are two victories away and they're forming next year's team.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: They're they're going out and buying pay players right now
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: to make sure that they have a chance to win
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: next year.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean we've said it, but it has to change.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's got to be a change in the calendar.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I mean it's ridiculous.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's you know, the whole thing about not coaching.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: You know, Lane Kiffin and and you know, if there
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: was a different timetable, he could have waited to announce that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, l s U. He probably wouldn't have to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: go on those interviews right right at that time, right,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and so you finished the season and then you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: if you still want to go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's how the NFL does. I'm no fan of the NFL,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but they make it work.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: That's the right.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Way do it, no doubt.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Until the season's over and players.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Aren't leaving in the middle of the season. You can't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: No, And you got people going in the portal who
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: are playing in these eight thousand Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: You can come back if you can make a better
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: deal for them, you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Come out of the I read an article that and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know the percentage, but if there's eight thousand
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: somewhere between fifteen hundred and two thousand of these kids.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Their major college football careers are over. They're not going
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere. They can go to a smaller school,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but they ain't getting the glory.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I think all eight thousand probably think they're going
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to get a better position.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Well, of course they do it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't have done that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Their agent told them that it's just like pro football,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that part's just like pro football.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd say that pro football is better because at
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: least you got contracts that you can't go anywhere you
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: do have contracts unless you get traded.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I just met the agent pumping the kid up, going, hey,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you're this much that they in you this much.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: They got to make their cut.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They have to make their cut.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: YEP.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: It will change because college football does kind of mirror NFL.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: We see all the changes that the safety, the kicking,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: all this, and eventually they'll realize they got have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: salary cap.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: You can't. You can't have the wild wild West. You
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: think about it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Well, and what is this alleged twenty point five million
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: salary cap? You know, I know, how do you I've
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: heard that so often, but how do you legilate that.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know either.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't seem to affect anybody, No, it doesn't.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It seems like everybody's still getting whatever they want. That's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: twenty four to five million across all sports, right, It's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: like there's no way. I mean no, I mean, I know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: as thirteen more five million on a basketball team this year,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: up from four point five the year year before.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: And my understanding is the animal play more for their
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: football team next year. It's just nothing goes.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Down right in life.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: You know, you want more. More costs, more, costs more.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So you were saying, see you heard me ranting about
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Friday night football, the Alabama Indiana game, the Alabama the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma the first round, the first.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Round Alabama, you asked about playing on Friday night at Oklahoma.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Alabama was nine point nine million, and I forget the
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: fat figures. Maybe it was twenty two point eight sticks
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: in my mind. But Indiana played in the in the
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: in the in the quarterfinals. They played, as a matter
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: of I forgot the game already.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: Which was Alabama Alabama point eight and as the most
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: any of the playoff games thus far in college football
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: in this deal, and you think about that twenty two
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: point eight, it was eight or nine million.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: That's a lot.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: That's a lot. And you knew Alabama.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: But I'm saying, Indiana, Indiana, if you arrive, if you
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: do it this year, everybody's watching you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: And college football is just never been better as far
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: as that's concerned.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the well or more popular. I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: looking at the quarterbacks that are left stand Okay, three
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of them are just lights out right now. Uh Chamblis
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: is lights out, Dante more is lights out at Oregon,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and of course Fernando is lights out at Indiana.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Had two incompletions in Roselt. I mean.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That all year. Yeah, you know, I'm doing my only
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Carson Beck, who who threw for like one hundred and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: thirty eight yards, that's his game.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: I get it. He's managing correct.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Check secould have taken him in a heartbeat.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Because that It's interesting when you look at Beck. What
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I'm saying is Beck's steel ranks in the top ten
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: in the nation in passing efficiency because he doesn't beat
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: his team, he's not turning it over and that's what
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: That's why you get a fifty year senior that he
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: realized the team I want.
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: To go on.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: That was the difference in n and Marcel did.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: And when you look the four people, what do they
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: have in common?
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Uh, they protect the football, They're very efficient, and I
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: think more they all started somewhere else too. And it's like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: we have this error where you go out and buy
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: quarter you gotta have a quarterback. Here's my deal is
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: when I've seen you got a quarterback, gut play defense
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: and you guys were laughing.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Think about Tech if they had a quarterback.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was awful.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: The rest that was that was my problem within the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: whole year, right, Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: You're right, You're right, you said that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they gotta be sitting there going, how did
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: James Madison score that many points against the Oregon and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: we get shut out? Yeah, let'score thirty four points against
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Oregon and.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Five hundred yards of offense. Yeah. That was painful to
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: watch Tech play.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It really was. And it was like, my gosh, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: thought Marcella had an awful playoff game, but he was
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a lot better than that text Tech kid.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Oh man, I felt for the whole team when I
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: forget his name right now, that's he was just and
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: he was bad in the Big twelve, Big twelve.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Bar Martin Morton.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you know, he wasn't wasn't good.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Then everybody said, oh they lost to Arizona State, that
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: you're missing your quarterback. And I'm going, well, maybe that
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: would have a good thing. What I saw in those
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: two games.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you got to have a quarterback. And I'll
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: tell you that these like you say, three of them.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Cody Campbell knows that, and he went out rode a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: five million dollar check.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Sawid well once again.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Is here's here's what I might be wrong, guys.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: But I'm thinking, like the Kansas States, the word, even
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: the Wisconsins, the Baylors, whatever, they're gonna eventually have a
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: salary cap because those people have no chance, even like
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: a Wisconsin there's no chance to me to win a
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: national championship because you can't keep.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Up with these this money.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But the other thing I was thinking about is it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it's in basketball we're going to see is this is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the same way, right, because you look at today's top
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: twenty five and you've got to just like in football,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you've got a Vanderbilt team that's undefeated, right, you have Nebraska,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: which is undefeated. You have BYU, which has some history
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: but spent a lot of money.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, Georgia bet Auburn.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Georgia has apparently spent some money at thirteen and one.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, you look at SMU is now in
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the top twenty five. UCF which we saw here and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is looking like a better loss every week. They're twelve
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and one. You have these teams that traditionally aren't basketball powers.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Now you still have the powers there. It's like college football.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You know, Ole Miss and Indiana don't belong the last
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: thirty years, Miami hasn't belonged. Now. Oregon is the only
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: one of those four that have been consistently good over
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a long stretch of time. But my thing is, somebody
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: else is going to go out and find a Fernando
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Mendoza this year. We don't know who it is, we
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: don't know what team it is, but that team is
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: going to be hard to be.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I love Mendoza's preparation. I mean the story about him
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: winning all the pictures of the perhaps Heisman winners so
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: that you can memorize their faces and the name.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Pretty impressive.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: That was I meanmates, his teammates before he even got there. Yes,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: that is in your eyes.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: And when I want to listen to the same deal.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: What jumped out to me though about that was there
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: we live in Mendoza. Is only taking online classes, so
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: he's not really a student. He's a full time football player.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: So if he if he spends that much time just
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: getting to know the former Heisman winners and his teammates,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: how much has he studied play?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: They're all going to be full time football players, but.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Most of them are. I would love to know the person.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: And when you said he missed two two throws, how
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: much preparation has he done?
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Because he's not a student. He is a student.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He is, no doubt, like like an NFL quarterback, right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: just like an NFL courts.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Except unlike Johnny Manziel when he was in the NFL,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: right zero.
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: You had to throw that out, didn't reality bring us
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: all town. That's impressively right. I jumped on a go wow,
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: that guy studying.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And I think we've mentioned this here before. You haven't
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: heard the term student athlete, and I don't know how
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: long there there is no pretense that that education is involved.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, get you when you touched on about basketball, brought
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: up another interesting thing. You talked to different people. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: was talking to somebody at a and M works there
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: not way up, but he brought he brought up a
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: good point. He said, you take all these sports, volleyball, softball, whatever.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: He didn't mention basketball. But if you want to win
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: and you've got donors that want to go and play,
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: you know, if you want to have the best tennis
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: team in the country at Wisconsin, you got somebody, you
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: can do it. You can go out and buy. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: do you want to do that?
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: And once again, how do you want to spend your money?
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: And it's amazing because if you get someone to foot.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The bill and it was spent very wisely.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: In volleyball, that's all absolutely okay. They're talking about buying players,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: but you've got to have somebody to coach.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Jamie Morrison is obviously a well prepared guy, and.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I would argue in this day and age, coaching is
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: even more important because you're getting new guys every year
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on the roster.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Well to that point, I just love to hear his
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: pregame speeches to the to the ladies there, like, hey,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you know, entering the Nebraska game or the match, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: he was just like, look, they're really good. They're unbeaten here,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: but we're not afraid of them. We're not intimidated. This
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: is why we came this far. Our season ended here
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: last year. It's not gonna end this. I just he
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: just gets them so mentally prepared. I think I'll go back.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: To what he said, I'll say one thousand, because you
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: do have to deal with agents, you have to deal
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: with a general manager. These guys when I laugh when
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: I see these and these two or three guys that
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: this reductive third stop in three years, I mean, you've
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: got to be able to handle a guy like that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: To get the most on them.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: And I get it, he's getting paid, but we all
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: know there are a lot of businesses where people are
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: getting paid in business besides sports, and they're not doing
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: their job. How do you get the most out of
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: these athletes. It's it's tougher than it's ever been.
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: I think.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I think so too. I think there's just a lot
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: more on their plate.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, right, you could have the right it is.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: I watch every assistant coaches. You gonna bring in the
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: right assistance because you're gonna go out. You've got to
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: get the most out of those linebackers. You've got to
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: make sure those guys are not gone up in the
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: stands and taking a swing at somebody or you know whatever.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying. It's it's amazing what's on the place.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So I want to go back to the coaches of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: these final four teams, and obviously it starts with Signetti,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: who has no one's ever won back to back Coach
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the Year titles.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: He's got a dress it's with.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He is, you know, but I will say this, that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is one well prepared. Oh yeah, you just hardly ever
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: see them doing stupid things.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I love to listen to some of his answers, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: they're asking him postgames, like did you how did you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: get your players to you know, get into the just
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: seeing Alabama is another team as opposed to the traditions
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: and years and years, and he was like, uh, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: think my guys only pay attention to the tape. I
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: think they know a lot less about the tradition than
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you do. And I loved it, you know, I loved.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Listening to him.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: But when I saw his defense and obviously by end,
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: oh yeah, when I saw his defense play, and I
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: go like they've got all the And I go, he
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: was at Indiana.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: He's a Indiana. He's just at Indiana.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who had Indiana about thirty five over Alabama? Right, Yeah, I.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Mean they're and I laughed, and I go, they're getting
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: that kind of fans in football.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: It's not basketball. Bobbie Night didn't show up in time.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Well, by the way, you know, everybody always says it's
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: basketball school that Evere won a national title the eighties.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: It's all about right now Indiana. And he's already got
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: his quarterback for next year. He's not got the guy
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: he wanted. And they're not going anywhere.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, did he did? I just read that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's Josh Hoover from the quarterback.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And they have that. They have to be A and
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: m's model Indiana. Does I mean knocked out.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: If he used to be next Saban not anymore?
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Right, but it knocked out in the first round the
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: first year they get there. Yeah, everybody say they didn't
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: belong right very much? Right, and so now from again, right,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: and that's what I thought. What happened to Indiana. They
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: proved me really wrong.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, way bright, way, the big way. But you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting here and we have the show show.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: This show is good and a lot of times and
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I can't remember how many times we said, well, there's
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: not really a dominant team out there.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I like Indiana, but if they lost this week,
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: it wouldn't surprise me.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think this is where hard to be,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: but it's hard to be in but twice in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: same year, right, I mean, that's the Oregon's advantage. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: think Organ is probably thrilled that they get his no shot. Remember,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, and.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They're good enough.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Won last year. They're so fast.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing that it's kind of as you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: watch Indiana play. There's a lot of Big ten football
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in Indiana. And I don't say that with respect, but
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: how they play and the way they play together. And
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're void of athletes. They had the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner. They're not void of athletes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: No, there's no gimmick. I know what you're saying.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: It's not a gimmick. But you look at Oregon and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: they are so fast in every position. Uh Now, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: kind of thought that's why Alabama would have a shot.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: You got to quote this sec speed against this, you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: big ten, but they're not ground and pound. Indiana is
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: definitely not grounded.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Alabama football at still ye.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Still they still can't Yeah, still can't.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: They have problems. They do, they have problems.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I will say that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: I'll say it again.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna defend callender Bore, kaylend Bore until he leaves.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I think he is a hack of a football coach.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: The people at Miami, I meant Alabama don't agree with
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: me right now because he ended up losing what four games?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but here's dill Is when you're he's got to
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: prove it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: In a hurry or he's going to be gone, no
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: doubts he's I mean, it's yeah, you're right, And I
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: kind of feel for the guy because what you said,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: he is a good coach, but you got to be
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: a great coach.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: You just can't be good at Albaba.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you have to be great, and as you mentioned,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you better be great quickly.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not gonna wait forget about next next year
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: is when it matters. He better do something.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he's he's in the on the hot seat right.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: And that's just that's just the way they're they're built
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: in Alabama. They're not gonna put up with that. And
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: it's college football. I mean, when you stop and think,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: you go old miss and A and m made the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: argument that they should have been the sixth seed. Well
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: what you got Old missed, you got Miami. And I
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: still think, uh, christ of Ball is not a great coach.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: At the end of the first half, I said, take
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: the field goal they threw the ball should have should
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: have been seventeen.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Oh that'll come back to buy him on the button. Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: No, I give him credit. His players play hard and
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: they play well. I mean that's they were the better team.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. And that was the
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: big I mean shocker to me in the second round.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Is Miami winning that thing?
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: I was because you watch the game and you go, man,
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Miami's even I think more talented than it than just.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I think both those quarterbacks played tremendous games and that game,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: you know, taking shots, I mean just some really tough
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: hits out there. And uh but yeah, Trinidad something else.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Now he was really and here here's a guy who
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: was you know beginning no, and he was a Division
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: two guy, right, I mean the guy that's what I said.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Everyone's looking for it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: And getting back to what Chip said, that's why a
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: d what two players are leaving because hey, I'm going
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: to be the next chamblist.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go I'm gonna go get millions. Yeah, you
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: know that's that's the thing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: See, since you mentioned general managers, now, uh, you know
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: NFL general managers get fired after a couple of bad drafts,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and with all the money that's being spent, you're gonna
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: see the same thing here. You miss on players, you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you misevaluate, you miss a whole position like Sark did
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: this year. You're gonna be looking for a job pretty quick.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna be interested to see what happens when
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: one of these power schools, like let's say Alabama. Let's
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: say Alabama was three nine win seasons in a row.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: When did the donors get tired of paying paying two
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: hundred million dollars for nothing?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Man, I've said that for five years they had had
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: They finished their last two games worse than they and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: end it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, the way they got manhandled, I mean
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: in both of those games.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And Albama didn't tolerate that, right, No, and no, you know, it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: It was a frustrating way for obviously for A and
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: M to you know, in the season, but eleven and oh,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I would have taken that eleven and two. I'd take
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: that heartbeat at start. Alabama's not gonna take nine wins
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: in a row, I mean nine seasons, no knocking.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It's all right. No, you're right, and I don't think really.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: You know, and M fans will be really upset if
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: they go back to where they'd been, you know.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And so that's where.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: They got to use that model of Indiana and I,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: you know, Elka has been really good in the portal,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: so I don't saw the guys that they've already gotten.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: But good to me, you know. He obviously he judged
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the wide receiver talent pretty good last year.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been bad.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: No, he wasn't too bad, although he did disappear in
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: the last two games. It was kind of like, man,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: that's too bad because he'd been so dominant.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: But I wonder did he disappear as much as team
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: has playing more attention to him.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: And maybe maybe helps to pick up Yeah, maybe a
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: little both, a.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Little bit of both. But once again, is he's done
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: great important in two years? If you look at he
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: went like thirty the first year, the second fifteen, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: what he's done, So you gotta think he's gonna make
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: the right choices with his genlem h. But it is
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: just like the NFL. If they don't hit on these guys,
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: then what.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Do you do?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm looking at this Old Miss team, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I did not expect him to beat Georgia. I thought
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Georgia was gonna win the whole thing. That was before
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I watched Indiana the other night.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: I did Georgia, but I thought that would be maybe
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: not even not one of the closer games.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did too. But to do what they've done
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: with the chaos that they've had for a month, that's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: really important.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I think most of America is rooting for Old Miss.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: No I mean because that yeah, well, I think because
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: that coaching situation. Everybody would love to see this guy,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: you know, interim now front Tim coach right who took
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: over and Old Miss said no, no thanks, Layne, You're
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: get on your way.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: So what if he comes in and wins the Natty,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they make a run, they don't have to win two games,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and then next year goes.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Eight and four.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Well, we've seen that, but they aren't.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Going to have Trinidad Chambliss back. Yes, No, I don't
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: think they're going eight and for if.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: He's a quarterback.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we've seen that happen for Yeah, we've
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: seen it in the in the SEC all.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Some guys had success.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So you get a huge con fat contract and they
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: weren't as good as you thought they were.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I think most teams, especially you know, Ole Miss has
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: got one national championship, I think, and I think most
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: of their fan base would easily trade that off. You know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna win the nasal championship and I'm gonna
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: go eight and four next year, I'm okay with that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you better you better do it while you
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: can't if you win a national championship.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: And like I cover, I think I cover sports. Okay,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: who is this Pete Golding? I mean, you know it's
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: like I didn't know what you look like until they
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: had the first president. I saw all that's him.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You know, they almost ran him out of Alabama as
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. Alabama fans hated him the defensive coordinator.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just one man's trash. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: But I'm thinking, I'm with you Chip this team just
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: and I get it. I was driving over listening to him,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: and I got you. Gotta remember Kiffin put this team together.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yes he did judge talent, yes he did. And he
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: had back up and and and.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin developed this quarterback? Did he developed this quarter.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: And I'm saying that being said, he walked away And
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: for what going in this group has done is amazing.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: It is you're right now, You've got like created two
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: animals because we know LSU's not gonna lose probably and
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: now ol Miss Ole Miss is gonna have a pretty
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: good Like you said, they're either gonna be a semi
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: finalist or finalist or a champion.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: And I mean, oh my gosh, if they get a
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: championship in.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Oxford, I hear you. I mean, it's that's why I
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: think most people have been rooting for Old Miss as
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I think you are.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: How could you know Chadlis is a good story. They
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: haven't any off the field incidents. You go like, oh,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: I hate those teams.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I'd love see Old Miss in Indiana. I mean, that's
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: why I'd love to see a NAST championship game, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: you got to you like a red reds favorite color, right, No,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: definitely not, definitely not. But I just think that that
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: would be a really game.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: I'm with you right now. But the fact is I don't.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: I don't have a dog in the hunts, so to speak.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I just want to see good games me too.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: We saw one of those when you see good games Thursday. Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: the Oklahoma Alabama game was good. For example. You know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: look the first round a M game was close. It wasn't.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a good game. It bored me to tears.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I was like, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: even when Adam's on the five yard line, my wife goes,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: she looks at me, she goes, you know he's gonna
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: throw an interception, sure.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Enough, So you're not taking her back?
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: We we were. We were crammed in there, I mean,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: and we were sitting at the end zone, so I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: could see that he threw the you know, six yards
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: behind the receiver on the first interception.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: I just keep saying, right now, we could be live
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: from Arizona doing the show.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not that far with with chips down
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: paying the way.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Let's go Arizona's niceest time really to me. All right,
• 24:59

  Speaker 15: Yesterday, all my troubles seems.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So runners round Table presented by in Tech. I just
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: thought of a brilliant topic here, guys during the commercial, Well,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: this is what I do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: That's why you're a pro man.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm a pro. Why why it's too hard?
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Why would what? What grade would you give Aggie football
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: this season?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I would say, I've thought about this, and I would
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: say A minus B plus. Okay, Well, I mean well,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I said earlier, if you'd given me
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: eleven and two started a year, I'd be like, Okay,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I was thinking more like eight and four. Correct. And
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: so the fact that they've got to the playoff of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: the first time. Yeah, they didn't look, you know, ready
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: for the prime time when they got there. But I
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: just think in year two of Mike Ilko, I was
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: pretty darn good. Yeah, not great, but you know it
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: was pretty darn good.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: And I gave them an A or a minus. Sorry
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: did that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: And along the same lines of Rusty, you gotta remember,
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: I don't remember I picked him either eight and four,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: nine or three. No better than that. I said, they're
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: gonna lose a lot of those road games. I had
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: my question mark about Reid. I had the question mark
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: about particularly the defense and the secondary and wide receivers.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: And I go, okay, I got these two wide receivers.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: But you know in kencepts you on, I said before
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: you averaged like eleven point seven yards and eight a
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: acc I go, it's gonna be tougher in the SEC.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: But a lot of things clicked for A and M.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: They overachieved through eleven games to get to where you know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: you're playing the big time. But you got, you know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: you got got to win one of those two games.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: That being said, so I'll give you a kick in
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: the It's like an A minus.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: You had a great year.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: You didn't have a fantastic year, but where they started from,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: and you guys touched on a little bit. Somebody said,
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: you know, if they go back to nine games, if
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: they went nine to the year ago, and next year go
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: nine and four, even though with that schedule, that could
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: be good nine and four, but it's gonna have an
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: empty feeling because this year went eleven and two. Even
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: if they go nine and four an hour rephrase, if
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: they'd go nine to four and they beat Texas, they
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: still probably wouldn't get an a They good because they've
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: got to do better than that because they won eleven
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: this year. So that's how much of a step they took.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: And we talked about golding or whatever. That's the problem.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: You overachieved early because everybody gets jacked up. Everybody go
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: the hundred, well one hundred and what four thousand went
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: to that game. By next fault have been a quarter
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: of a million will be there. But if they don't
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: get better, go win a game like that, then everybody's
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: gonna be disappointed. So the good, good, good news is
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: to me, they've arrived in the fact that the bar
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: set way high.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Where are the areas that you feel need to be
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: improved the.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Most well as far as Guy's stepping it up. I
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: really feel like Marcel needs to continue to evolve. And yes,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: he looked really, I don't know, unstable the last two games.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I mean the interceptions of turnovers, and he seemed like
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: he may have regressed a little bit as a season.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I know that they threw a lot of zone at him,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: which I don't think early in the season that they did,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: which I think he had a hard time seeing that
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: and reading it. So I think he really needs to
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: grow as quarterback first and foremost, because like you said,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: you got to have a quarterback right and you know,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: quite frankly, I thought the ANM defense played over their
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: heads against Miami, and they didn't do that against Texas.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: But you know what, Miami's just They're gonna and grind
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: it and just let you beat yourself. So I just
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: think number one has got to be Marcel, and then
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: you've got to, you know, get this offensive line going.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: My deal is giving them an A or a minus.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: But yet I think they have two glaring errors when
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: I look back, and when you think about when it came
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: right down to it, kicking, Yeah, well kicking but you see,
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: I was, you know, kicking such a specialist, and they
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: got the Illinois guy coming.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I thought the main problem was.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: You're right, Reid's got to be better in big games, because,
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: let's be honest, I had a very When you look
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: at the record they had, it's like eleven and forty
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: whatever it was. When you and I talk about this
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: a lot of time, it's a line of scrimmage league,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: and a lot of times on third and three, offensively
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: or defensively, A and M couldn't stop the run. Miami
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: picked up big run after big run. Texas even ran
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: the ball, and Texas had run the ball.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: And then when A and M.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: I thought, going in the year with Moss and these
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: running backs in this line, man, they're going to average
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: two twenty on the ground against anybody. And then they
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: get in big games and they can't. They can't run
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: the ball, right, And so I don't care what they do.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: And I asked myself, Okay.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: So that's an issue two years in a row.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Right, And I say zo line overrated or it was
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: they miss Moss that much. I'd like to think they
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: missed Moss that much.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I want to know who called the fake punt because
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: that was just an atrocious It's such a low percentage.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Pass and they could be glad Miami didn't score.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: No, it didn't hurt him, but it was like, you
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: don't have your punter throw a thirty five yard pass.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: It had to be the coach. I mean, you know what.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I was right down to it, and what did I say?
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: I've said several times, I think Colin Klein will be
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: a much better head coach in Kansas State. After two
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: years here, he'd learned a lot. And I tell a
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: lot of people this is still Micae Kle to me,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: he has only been a head coach coach two years
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: with with the pressure on, so to speak, Duke was
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: just like like the warm up regiment out of the bullpen.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: He did grind his stuff. Look good at Duke, but
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: he's still don't even and he's done great. But I think,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: you know, you don't run that zip play where they
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: had to fumble.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: Against South Carolina after they leave what in the Sam
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Hecker you guys put someone fall off his chair.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Ye, So he's to me, he's gonna get better just
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: because so we talk about this so much. Well, I
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: watched so much college football, so you see so many
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: coaching blunders. Right when you're on the couch, you just
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: you look and you go, what are you thinking? And
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: who are you listening to? They all have sixteen assistants
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: right screaming. Fifteen of them are in their ear. You
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: have twenty five seconds to get it off. You have
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: two yards to make to win the football game. Or
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to kick a field goal and tie the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: game and see if your defense get hold or whatever.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: And you just go, what did you just do? You're
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: making ten million dollars a year and you have sixteen
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: assistants and this is the play or this is the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: decision you make here?
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: You know, one of the most impressive things about old missus,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: when was that field goal kicker going out there? Yeah
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: and nailing it? Yeah? I mean field goal kickers. You
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: see it on every level. I don't know if you
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: watched the Steelers last night, Oh yeah, every minute you
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: talk about two guys who choked at the very end
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: of the game.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that was something else.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: And I'll go back to you, chip at in, don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: forget Georgia goes for and fourth down and then Kirby
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: comes back and said they screwed up.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: That was a coaching deal. Yes, what you're talking about.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: And we know Georgia's got great, high paid assistance. Kirby's
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: got two national changers, and they had a bonet place.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it happened. So if you're watching the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: same team every minute all year long, there's gonna be
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: places that you're gonna scratch your head at.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's just that so many of these come
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: at the highest pressure moment of the game, right right,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: especially when you watch I mean put yeah, you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: just pressure the whole game. You know, the stupid play
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: at the goal line, the past, the fumble. Fine, I
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: mean why are you doing that?
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: George? Like I said, there's such a fun But if.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: You only have a handful of plays in thirteen games
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: that you've seen every minute of, you're going, well, you
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: have to live with that because because coaches are gonna
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: make mistakes.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're sitting there eating popcorn up in the first box.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: It's easy, you get what the heck did that guy
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: just do?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: It's easy.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: It's easy, and those guys make it not millions billions
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: in all for everybody. When you got a guy like
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: you mentioned Cody Campbell as your boss is yeah McGuire's boss.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's probably seen like, why didn't we have a quarterback?
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: You know, how can we go through the whole season
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: without a quarterback?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And you talked about all the assistants. And I
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: was sitting behind the end and bench on Saturday, and
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: so I got to see everything in this including the
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: video guys. Oh man, there's more coaches than there's players.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: You know, it's unbelievable.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: But one of the video guys thought he saw the
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: am challenge, and obviously what he thought wasn't conclusive because
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: they and him lost their challenge when they did.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: But Bucky had.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: To take his word for it. It's like, Okay, you're
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: good on this, yes, And he's like yeah, and you know,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's still working at a M
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: but he wasn't right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: They won the game.
• 38:31

• 42:24
  Speaker 6: I was very impressed with the crowd. If you were
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: out there, you know, school's not in and uh, I
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: consider myself not as uh star warts of basketball as
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: you and Rusty are, but I've always been I've always
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: loved basketball. The time with Billy Gillespie hear a me,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: it was great. But getting back to it, fans were
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: out there. I know tickets can be high priced to whatever,
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: but I saw people my age up cheering when they
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: got into the game. You like to see that. The
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: style of play, the defense was there. That would make
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Gillespie and Kennedy and Buzz Williams happy. But this team
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: has an offense about it, and I get it. It might
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: take a couple of years, but this team's fun.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: To watch.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, there was so much more entertaining than they
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: had been in previous years. And you know they I.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: Don't feel like I'm a dentist chair well exactly right.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I mean sometimes when I was watching victories last year, like, god,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: this is really hurting my eyes, but this is, you know,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: up tempo they made. They did make a bunch of mistakes,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: but you're going to I mean, they had too many turnovers.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: I thought ag plays so hard.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: But he also had some really like stupid, why do
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: you make that pass?
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: Or why do you file the guy? Yeah.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: I was close enough the bench that I heard Bucky
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: yelling out all of his assistants going what are we doing?
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: You know, right right after the foul, And he texted
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: me later or next day. I'd said him, congratulations. He said,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna retire if we lost that
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: one on that foul. Entertaining is he's entertained to watch? Yeah,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, I just think they do a lot
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: of things that you're going, okay, but they only shot
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: twenty nine percent from three. Yet they still made some
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: big three and you know they're gonna be challenged size
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: wise throughout this year. I think Frederica. Frederica is h
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Frederico is just kind of an offensive liability. He did
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of subbing, like offense defense with ag. He's
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: a solid I mean, he's tall. You can't can't coach
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: six eleven, right, I mean, but Vincent, who I thought
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: was making some progress, he didn't look very good in
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: He was on the court very limited amount of times.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. If one of those two guys
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: can't step up, then they're gonna have some really difficulties
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: against the bigger, physical teams.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what I saw when LSU was making
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the comeback. They were just they had bigger bodies in
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the paint, right, and it seemed a lot EASi year
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: for them to get there. But I will say this,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I said it you know earlier, Matt. When you have
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: eight more offensive rebounds against that team and you're that size,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: that's just that's effort and will right, I'll say.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: This too that if you look at the box score,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Roland Griffin didn't have a great game. Seven points twenty minutes.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I got quick fouls. He was on the
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: bench most of the first half because of the foul trump.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: But at the end of that game, he came up
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: with two huge steals and you know, very athletic and
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: that ended up making you know, the difference in and
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: then being able to win that game.
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: Yes, and McMillan will go ahead. He wants he wants
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: us to be a home field advantage, so horome court advantage,
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: So he'll go out. He'll probably go to your clubs
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: or what have you. He wants he said, he doesn't
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: want a three point advantage. He wants an eight point advantage.
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: And when the students get back, like I said, you
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: got to like his style. And I know you've touched
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: on the chip a few times. When you shoot as
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: many threes as they do, they're gonna be cald some
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: games and it's gonna cost him.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: And they were early on especially, they were.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: Two fourteen to start up to fourteen. And I'm thinking, well,
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: I picked the right game to come see this team.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: You know, you just have to.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: You have to look at the entirety of the conference schedule,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and there's gonna be teams that are a lot bigger
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: than they are, you know, more physical than they are.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: But my thing is, are they going to play harder
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: than A and m so far, My answer would be no.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: And in play so hard. He is the epitome of
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: playing so hard. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you questioned Emi.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Sometimes the dumb passes not that thing, but man, he
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: just plays so hard and he gives up so much
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Hike and he was backing uh Wako down and h
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: I thought he was really just impressive again he can
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: double double again.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: In this era of nil and what have you to
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: have a team play that hard when a lot of
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: those guys don't play a lot of minutes and when
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: you can get somebody to come out and play eleven
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: hard minutes. And I'm thinking to myself, as hard as
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: he's playing right now, how hard does he have to
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: play in practice? Because I would imagine their practices are
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: pretty intense. Yes, And uh, that goes what do we
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: talk about just in football? Because back to coaching, it's
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: all about you know, coach talent and coaching. You can't
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: win unless you have both.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: And Alida, man, he is really making progress.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Made the last three games, probably because every time he
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: went in, I'm like, why do you keep playing that?
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: That was the same thing and now he is. He
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: was really good good, Yes.
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: He was when I joked off air, there's only eight more,
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: seven more conference games left. I mean, you win the
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: first one, that's a great sign because you got to
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: protect the home court and then anything can happen when
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: you do that. And they're gone to Auburn and a
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: and M's won at Alburn before he suddenly, as they
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: usually historically, they out.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you look at the schedule and I'm
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: still not if there's a great team in the league.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure they've emerged yet.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Let's Kentucky play. They didn't.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: They're not very good. They didn't want.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's not very good. Vanderbilt is good.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Alabama is still good. They have a system, they're going
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: to play it, and they know how to win.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Georgia looks pretty good.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Georgia looks pretty good. I'm not ready to crown them yet.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Arkansas to me has the biggest upside of this group. Uh,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: they have talent, they have coaching. They know what, they
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: went to the sweet sixteen or something last year on
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that run, you know, when they barely got in the tournament.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: You know, Missouri got a big win against Florida, but
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Florida is just they don't have the guard. They got
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: big guys, but no guards.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: They're a totally different team than last year, totally, like,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: not even close to where they were last year.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: You know, Tennessee lost at Arkansas. I think Tennessee is
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: still pretty good. But they're not what they've been right there,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: They're not you're a lot of them I am, so
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they're not what they've been. Auburn certainly is
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: not what they've been. You know, Mississippi State beat Texas,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: but I don't you know they had that guard. Josh
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Hubberd just went off. When he does he had thirty
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: eight and ten and overtime. So when he does well,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: when he does that, they will beat some teams. Texas
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: isn't very good, so you know they're gonna be at
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the bottom. South Carolina, I'm really surprised at Ole Miss
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: at Chris Beard. I'm sure the fans at Ole Miss
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: are really surprised, but I'm sure they don't really care
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: right now as long football is going on. Right Florida
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: has to basically all American players in the post. They
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: don't have guards, you know, they're they're just somebody that's
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: a killer. I haven't watched Auburn enough, so I'm interested
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in watching them tomorrow. Watched them a little bit. I
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: don't know if the son can coach, probably can't coach
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: like the dad. Yeah, I mean that's the thing, and.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting choice. You know, just kind of give
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: give it, give it, give the keys to your son.
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: But you didn't hand off the willing ability.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: That's the problem is that's always a problem in It'll
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: be a big problem in a hurry.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of programs make that mistake.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: They love their basketball, they want to win, and they're
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: not going to they're used to it. It'd be like it.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Would like when Bobby Knight handed off the Pat Night
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: up in Texas Tech didn't correct that didn't work out
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: too well.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: You know, you you mentioned earlier s m U, and
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I saw them play in North Carolina. Yes, and they
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: knocked off North Carolina. Well they had also Shoe had
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: beaten SMU by twelve. They did, and so it's interesting
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: when you look at you know, of course, it compares
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: like you know, I thought A and M played a
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: terrible first half against SMU and played great second half
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: up until the last four seconds. Yeah, and they totally
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: blew that. Yeah, and you know, I thought it was
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: interesting that Bucky said, you know, yeah, we we very
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: much learned from that and we were able to close
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: it out and they were able to handle that full
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: court pressure that LSU they couldn't handle it against SMU. Correct,
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: and so it was it was great to see the growth.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: And he said, if they hadn't lost the SMU game,
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: maybe they don't win the LSU game.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd rather win a conference gat.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good trade off.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially with with the l s U.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know where this team is
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: going to finish. I've got no clue. I don't think
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: how many games they're gonna win. I don't think you
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: can have.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: A clue at this point, you know, not enough information
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: on there in other teams. Yeah, and I want to
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: see what they could do in the road now with
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: the losing their big guy.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's only their second road game, second true road game,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: r Yeah, and this this environment will be a little different.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Than Pitt One of their road their their neutral side
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: game was a home game. That was the one in Arlington,
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: and there were a lot more Raggies s MU folks.
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I'm interested to see what they do.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, Oklahoma is kind of a hot and cold team
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to me. They will be in here on Saturday. So
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the Sooners a game when remember when Blake Griffin came in. Yes,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: remember those days, Yes, Reid was rocking, Yes.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: It was and they had a good win. I guess,
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. Like you said earlier, Oh Miss,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: how good are they?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Oh Miss hadn't been very good at that. I've seen
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Chris Beard a couple of times. He's pulling out what
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Harry has left. It's like at at one of their
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: post games where they got beat at home really badly
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: by a team they're not supposed to lose to.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Are Oklahoma fans uh good with Porter Moser?
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: I don't know.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're good with anybody.
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: If yeah, probably right, if you didn't wanted to run
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: him off last year, that's what I was close. And
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: I think they look to be just average this year.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: I can't see them saddling that. If he doesn't get
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: make the tournament, I don't think they keep it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I think A and M can be good enough that
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: they're they're going to be considered for the tournament. I
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're good enough to get in, we'll
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: see they they would.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I would think they'd have to win eight out of sixteen,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: don't you. I guess they could go with their seven
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: and nine record.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: They're playing, aren't they playing eighteen eighteen? Yeah, so I
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: think you have to go nine to nine or you
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: have to go ten and eight. I mean, I would
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: think that that's where you would have to get because
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: they had some of those losses, you know, the the
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: UCF and they and.
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: They haven't really played a good non conference git.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: No, they didn't. I mean, but like Chips, the SMU
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: lost was a lot better after they beat North lost better.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So that's why eight hundred. That's why Cole Hunder
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: probably gets you.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of it depends on how the rest
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: of the league fall. It's not gonna They're not gonna
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: get the same amount they had last year. I mean
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: that was ridiculous. They see was the best league in basketball.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Yes it's not this year.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, way, Yes, you know, I think the Big twelve
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: is really good, Big ten's pretty good, ACC is pretty good.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: All of those would be you know, you would compare
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: not to last year's SEC. There's no way to compare list.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Probably haven't watched enough National Basket.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, there's there's no way we should be
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: comparing what the league is this year. The last year
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that was like a once in a lifelive deal. Yeah,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: and National champions All right, boys, we wasted an hour.
