  Speaker 6: What are you looking at me?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: For you?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I've never seen you so strong in a game. And
• 2:40

• 2:42
  Speaker 6: On him Alabama plus seven and a half sitting right
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: here looking at me.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: That was easy work, man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: This was your opening ad copy. Could you read the
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: words I point.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: To Gambling is for entertainment.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: I was not entertained. Was not entertained during the Rose Bowl?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Hey it was entertaining?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: How peak? What's that postgame video?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: In my personal experience, maybe Taylor has a different experience.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I've never seen you feel more confident about an Alabama
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: team in a game, even though.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: They gave you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: They gave you the resume there at the end of
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Since we've known you for somebody saying that you've always
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: done a great job. And we've said early in the year,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we said Millaneer, we said late in the year, something
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: about Josh Payty's bulletproof. He always has a way of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: even when he's wrong, he seems right like he has
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a way of like even when the shrapnel and everything's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: coming at him, it doesn't it doesn't affect him. This
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is the only time you've laid your neck out on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the line only to be placed in a guilla team
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and he fucking chopped off.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: I'm looking up at my own body.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You're looking up, you are floating away towards the sky
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and looking at what you've displayed for yourself. And you
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: chose an Alabama team that came against it came back
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: against Oklahoma, and that was good enough for you to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: ignore the see championship. That was good enough they came
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: back against Oklahoma, and you're like, that's enough for me
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to get my home or brain to finally be like, hey,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Alabama is a beating Indiana.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Taylor, But did they come back against Oklahoma or did
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma knna I think Oklahoma Conna.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: In my defense, there is no defending me. I tried
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: to get skinny and I couldn't on this one. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: didn't say the kids screwed up. I just you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: I lost the game. But we were really really emphatic.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Excuse me, I was really emphatic about that last week,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: and we made the whole social reel like it went
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: out there tagged Ty Simpson, by the way, really silent
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: when they lose a game, Ty.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Simpson, you got to live and die by the sword
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: that with age.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you have his back and they get blown out.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: I got I got nothing. I'm just left standing here
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: holding the back transparent.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of picking Indiana, knowing Ty is gonna see
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it be like this is you guys.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: You wanted this like you wanted the wolf the whole thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Give him the fodder, give him the motivation. He looks
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at and he goes good. The boys have my back.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Without having my back.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: You hated going three and one.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: I would have much rather gone too. And two.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, much rather gone. So you and I are sitting
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: there in the semis evened up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: I like to think that at the end of that game,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: which was about five and changed to go in the
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: first half, as it turns out. But I like to
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: think at the end of that game, those kids are
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: on that bus ride home, Kaitlyn divores, on that bus
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: ride home, that staffs on that bus ride home, somewhere
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: in the back of their minds, not only did they
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: let down their families, their teammates, their staff, their university,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: their conference, they let me down to this is pretty historic.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: They didn't let you down. They let your wife down.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: They let my father down.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: They let your father down.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: That's who they really let me.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Who calls it like it is, calls it like he
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: sees it. First time I met him, he looked me
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in the eyes, he goes, you're the dirtiest player, dirtiest son,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: bitch I've ever.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Seen play football.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And you didn't disagree.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And my heart sang to me, that's a massive compliment
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: as an offense blindman, like you want to have a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: scumbag mentality And he said it right to my right,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to my face. A lot of people would say behind
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: my back, not knowing that would take as he looked
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: me in the eyes. But he's a role tide guy
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: all the way, all the way. Do you think your
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: judgment got messed up with your family.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: No, no, but I will say he was blinded by bias.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I was blinded by wanting to be right in the preseason.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: In the preseason, I wanted to be right. I did
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: pick by him in the preseason. I picked Oregon in
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: the preseason. They're still alive. I have long since bailed
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: on both of those predictions, so I wasn't really so
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: much worried about that. I think maybe there was a
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: part of me, way way way back in the back
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: of my mind that just still needed to see Indiana
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: win as a big favorite in one of these games,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: like the long rest thing. Everyone else with the Buys losing,
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: they won. So I never had Kurt Signidia on the show.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Has he ever come on this show? Has he ever
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: come on bussing?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think he actually declined us right the end of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the year to the end of the year. But we're
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: going to keep We'll get big, we'll get big nen on.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But like right now, we're oh for one, but baseball that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Happens, yep. So we're sitting around now and you gotta wonder, like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: do they change coaching staff, do they change strength staff,
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: what are they going to do in the portal, who's leaving,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: who's staying? All this stuff. We gotta we got to regroup.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Me and me and me and Dan Pate. We got
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: some things to talk about.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Alabama.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: There's rumblings in this in behind the scenes about what
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: might be happening in the transl portal of Alabama.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Are you hearing anything out there?
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: I'm hearing stuff with everybody.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I gotta hy Simpson. I'm hearing there's a wolf looking
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for a new pack. That's what that's all I'm then
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it's just whispers. I haven't spoke to the young man,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the young wolf. There's just a couple of whispers. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: just want to know if you've heard those whispers as well.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: I think Keeland Russell starting a quarterback for Alabama next year,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: so that's what I think. But that may mean Ty
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: Simpson's gone to the NFL. Like I still think that's
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: what's gonna end up happening with him. But I don't know, man,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: because I don't I've learned a long time ago. Guys
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: can be telling you, oh, I'm either coming back or
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: I'm going to the NFL. Boom. They're in the portal.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Twenty four hours later, so I mean to answer your
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: to my question. I've heard the same rumors you have,
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: I can't substantiate them, and frankly, with the portal, all
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: I choose to do is stay out of it, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: I'll text Pete Nakos if I really want to know
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: if something's legit, or I'll hit up a coach if
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: i really want to know something's legit, or I'll get
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: a call from Will in the middle of the night
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: if something's happened to we Nebraska, which brings me to
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: my next point.

  Speaker 4: We interrupt this episode because we are brought to you
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: by Jim Beam. This postseason is uponse and there's nothing
• 8:31

  Speaker 4: be stressful.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Crushing losses, wild upsets, your unhinged six game parlay, falling
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: apart the literal last second. Things can get rough and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: can leave you feeling a little bit sour.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: But look on the bright side, once your team is
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: out and headed to decompress, you can finally relax, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: now you can actually enjoy the postseason with all the
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: heart palpitations, without the heart palputations.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Without all the heart palpitations.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That's our partnering with Jim Beam. We want to help
• 8:56

  Speaker 4: Distilling Company, Clermont, Kentucky. Oh, you're sitting there, sitting there preaching.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, I got it. I'm done with this fucking portal.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Can we just done?
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: We paint a picture if you'll allow me to lay
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: out a timeline and then I'll toss it to you
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: and then you finish the picture, Like, can we co
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: paint the picture?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, all right. The date is Conference Championship weekend. We're
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: going to do the altcast big day, career day for us.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: It's Alabama Georgia. It's going to be a back and
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: forth game, and it's not. It's a blowout. And we
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: spend the the entirety of the second half of that
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: game holding ESPN microphones in our hand, not talking about
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: the action on the field, but talking about whether Alabama
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: belongs in the playoff or not. Some people think they
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: should be in, other people think they shouldn't be in.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: William is in the latter camp. He thinks that Notre
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Dame should be in, and the only thing that's going
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: to keep them out is the college football deep state.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Fast forward twenty four hours, the College FOOTBA Playoff Committee
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: reveals their correct rankings and their correct seting. I will
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: still stand behind that Notre Dame is left out, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Lou Holtz is upset, and everyone in South Bend, Indiana
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: is upset, and will Compton is really upset, and he
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: goes on a Twitter rampage about how the college football
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: deep state has worked to collude against Notre Dame, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: to his credit, even though he was incorrect about it,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: he stood behind his argument even through the playoffs, even
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: when Alabama was being eliminated. The other day emphatically. It
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: was a see I told you so moment. It was
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: a big moment for you guys. And so after everything
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that he's done for Notre Dame, the dust clears and
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: the portal opens, Nebraska needs a quarterback at that point,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: after Will Compton has laid his life on the line
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: for Notre Dame, let's talk about what's happening in the
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: port Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: First off, that was a van go painting.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That was where Jackson Pollock it and say it always
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: comes back to Notre Dame with Will company, and this
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: time it's bit him in the ass. Your loyalty got
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you killed.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Everything I've done for that program.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: This is on the day, on the day of January fifth.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: This is how they do it to you.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: What is talk Talk to me as much as you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: can because I know you're in the weeds in Nebraska. Yeah,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you've got every coach in GM and AD on speed dial.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know a lot more than you're willing
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to say on the show. So I'm just gonna give
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you the floor.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: We'll sit back and just I want you to replay
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: your emotions for me.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Monday we leave the office. Yeah, great day, we leave
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the office. I'm I'm having dinner, wife and kids.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: You know, chaos is thinking players were trying to get
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Rudy eats got he's being funny. He's slamming stuff on
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: the ground, throwing food on the floor. Phone buzzes buzz
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: a couple of times.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Know what's going on?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I see, I see uh, a Nebraska name come across
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: my phone. I look at the Nebraska name and apparently
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: we're losing the quarterback that had just committed to us
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: on Friday. When the portal opened, there was a non
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: contact claws that are non contact status that kind of
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: came with this portal opening of this player, Kenny Mitchie,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the quarterback for Notre Dame, who's a who's a backup
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: to CJ.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Car big name in the portal.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: You're hearing a lot about him, how he's you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: he can win on the he can win with his legs,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: he can win with his arm, a lot of good things.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: This was Nebraska's number one target. So portal opens.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Up non contact status, meaning what that usually means in
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: this college football world because there is no tampering period
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: or anything else. But usually when somebody comes with that,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: they're close to a school, and I had learned that
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: we were close to landing Kenny Minchie.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Non contact just means that don't contact him, contact the agent.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: I'm going in the portal. If I have a non
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: contact tag, that's translation for I already know where I'm going,
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: do not call me. Got you, That's what that means.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: I understood. Ninety nine times out of one hundred. We
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: continue with the one time out of one hundred story.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, and then over the weekend Kenny Minchie. We land
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Kenny Minchie in the portal. He's coming to the breast.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: He's committed, big announcement, graphics and everything. Maybe maybe NACo's
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I know on three posts about it, but it's public
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: knowledge now that Kenny Mitchie is coming to What's up?
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: You posted a graphic.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're coming Kenny Mitchie to the Big Red even
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Jock Kenny minsche at text You're gonna look fucking great
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: and Red.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Got his number already.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: No response that now, looking back hindsight, that should have
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: been a red flag for a week Willie boy. Yeah,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: So the weekend, Oh's and everything set up. We got
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: our quarterback. He is committed to the University of Nebraska.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Just pen has not been put to paper yet. Formality formality,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: which again understand all that stuff. When we were in
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the game, it was verbal committed. Once you signed the
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: dad line, that's when you actually have them. So Monday
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: night rolls around and I get these texts and We're
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: losing the quarterback and I'm learning about what went down.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: To my knowledge, what I understand the situation to be
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: was that Nebraska was told all weekend that he's committed.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Because on Nebraska side of it, they are pushing and
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: following up, not pressuring, but following up.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, where's Ken he at with the contract?
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Like we got the contract to you on Friday morning
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: when the portal opened up. We need him to sign
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that contract because you know, coach ruled the big the
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: big man are like, hey, when is the quarterback?
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: When are we getting pin to paper? Go ahead?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Before you knew that the result that we know now happened.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Were you aware that this pen to paper thing was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: going to be an issue was being an issue? You
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just thought we got our guys.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, businesses still taking place.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Again, I'm not as tied into the portal stuff like
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: you know, like like Pate was talking about, I'm not
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: like deep in the weeds on everything that's happened in
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: the portal. I might see guys names come up, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: might see lists happening. I might shoot a text, Hey,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: what quarterbacks are we actually looking at? Let me know
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: if you need any help with anything. But so I'm
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: just thinking it's all, you know, business related stuff. He's
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: going to sign the contract. He's supposed to visit on Wednesday,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: and to my knowledge again, he not only wanted to
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: come and visit on Wednesday, but stay in Nebraska and
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: help recruit the rest of the portal. All this free
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: agency that's going on with five thousand guys in the
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: transfer and we get to you get up to last night,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: and again, from what I understand it to be, the
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: agent was telling Nebraska all weekend long. We're just going
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: through the contract. Everything is all good. He's committed. He's
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: coming to Nebraska. I have a lot of clients right now.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I'm dealing with a lot of transfer portal stuff. But
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Kenny Minchee is coming to Nebraska.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Question, you're watching Titanic right now? Yeah, it just hit
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: the ice, but everyone thinks it's okay, and they're going
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: back to sleep and they're kicking around the iceberg on
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: the deck and everyone's still laughing. But what they don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: know is they're dying and they'll be at the bottom
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: of the Atlantic in two hours. As it turns out,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: that's the part of the movie we're at right now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And also just to point out, because I love the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: movie Titanic. While this is going on, Jack and Rose
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: are on the bottom deck in a car, Jack being Minshi,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Rose being Kentucky, and they're making love right now.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: He is this, this is the fiance.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: So as it unfolds on Monday, Nebraska again.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Follows up, can't disagree, go ahead play?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Nebraska again follows up, where are we at with the contract?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Pin the paper? When is it happening? I'm still redlining
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: everything again, busy season with clients, stall tactic.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: The next phone call that takes place, to my knowledge,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: is that Nebraska gets called Kenny's going to Kentucky. He
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: did not know Kenny was going to do that, And
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: that was the last bone call Asient never called coach rule,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: He never called coach rule back, and that was basically
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: what happened. Nebraska couldn't get back in the conversation, trying
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: to figure out hey, can we counter you know, what's.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Going like, what what has happened? It's like, hey, he's
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: going to Kentucky.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: So essentially you see it as we got blank checked
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: by Kentucky, we got out bid by Kentucky, but we
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: were never able to get back in the ring of Kentucky.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: So I'm sitting there taking all of this stuff in.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Josh paid alludes to it. I call him and what's
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: going on? I was like, I'm standing in my bedroom
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: right now. All of the lights are off.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: That's when you said the dinner table eating you paused there,
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: and I thought you were in trouble. I thought there
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: was an actual medical situation or perhaps like a home
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: invasion situation, because you just said we got big issues.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: I'm standing here, my family's downstairs, I'm staring out at
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: the front yard. All the lights are out. Then it
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: just sizzled and I said, do you need something like
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: what's going on? And there may have been some other
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: mentions that I don't think legally we can say on it,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: But then you let me know kids weren't in danger,
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: wife wasn't in danger, home wasn't being invaded. It was
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: actually something much worse than that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Can you mention that agent fuck Nebraska.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: This type of stuff happened when you and I were
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: coming out of high school before an il, before those
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: things where guys are committed, they're fully in it, day
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of letter of intent happens they decided to flip their
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: commitment at the last second. Yeah, that does happen.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: So here's yes, that happened. There's a little bit of it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of difference in the structure of how
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: things are set up now because you've back then. Yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: you were paying guys under the table. There was no
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: like payroll, there's no budget, there was no set cap,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: and some people still laugh at the concept of a
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: cap in college football, but technically it exists. But the
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: bigger picture thing is people need to understand the way
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: college football roster construction works. Right now, there is no
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: more portal after spring. This is it. So you just
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: had your signing class and you've got your portal class
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: right now, and what is it like the sixteenth of January. Yep,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: once kids are in that's the dead line. You got
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: to have your roster set for this year. And this dude,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: slash his representation, slash his camp just took what seventy
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: two or ninety six hours from Matt Rule in Nebraska,
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: where they thought they had quarterback figured out and they'd
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: allocated the money the resources to that position. That then
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: the rug gets jerked out from under you, and so
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: you got to go back to square one on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: most important position on the field, and you just you
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: may have seen other guys come off the board that
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: you would have had a shot at in those ninety
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: six hours because you took someone at their word. Yeah,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: so yeah, it's not a good deal.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: He had a no contact tag too. So that's the
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: other thing is Nebraska is sitting there not thinking anyone
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: else is talking to him. He's committed to Nebraska, No
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: one should be contacting him. He there that camp is
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: reaching out to Kentucky. Kentucky's not reaching out to them.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Mind saying of the no contact tag, because when I
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: first saw it, think.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: We hey, guys, we all know that stuff's bullshit.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, hold on, let's my understanding of the no contact
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: tag is do not contact me personally, contact my agent.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: No, it's just don't contact. But it's really just a tag.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: There's nothing legally, it's not bound by rule. What clumps
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: say and what is right is that's the equivalent of like,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: if I'm at the end of a dead end road
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: and there's only one road, there's no side roads off
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: this main road, and I get word that, hey, you've
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: turned down this road. There's only one place you could
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: be coming, and that is to me at the end
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: of the road. That's the do not contact tag. The
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: do not contact tag is once the kid goes in
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: the portal, he's got do not contact, and you've been
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: given word through him or his representation he's coming to you.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: You view it as just a formality. You're like, you're
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: letting the boosters know, You're letting your staff know, Hey,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: we got him. We'll see when he makes the announcement. Oh,
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: by the way, then the announcement happens, and so then
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: you're doubly told you we got him. It is so
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: far in the back of your mind that that could
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: go wrong at that point that it's not even a concern.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: So that had to be a bombshell for them in
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: that building.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Bombshell.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And I think like obviously over the weekend, there was
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a handful of more quarterbacks that were in that top
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: five the ten range that committed to another score transfer school.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: When I got the information from you, I went on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the transfer portal just to look at how people are
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: evaluating quarterbacks. Went to the quarterback section, scrolled through, saw
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: our boy Soresby Texas Tech Levitt looks like he's going
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to LSU.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Correct, that's what I heard.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It seems like it seems like he was in the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: running four, which tells you that Sam Levit is not
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: going to go to l s U. Because this Minshi
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: kid can tell you must have heard from a good
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: agent that he's not gonna go to Kentucky.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: He's going to LSU or somewhere else.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: So I start scrolling down and I'm seeing this person's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: transferring here, this person transferring here the first and highest
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: available spot.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I saw Dylan Riola.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: You think do you think at number seven maybe something
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Delan Roola transfers too.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: There was a blank space and it was the only one.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It was like two guys within the top ten quarterbacks.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, hey, maybe you have to maybe.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: You have to go back to what Maybe maybe I
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: need to refollow Dylan on Instagram. Now, hey about all
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: that stuff I said. This is Adam Saylor.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Baby, I'm sorry, I didn't me.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I know there's lists you're scrolling to see what optimism
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: there could be with Nebraska. Like I obviously I want
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: us to be a good football.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Team, right, But I'm doing You're on the phone with
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Michigan people, and you're every time I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: see a wide receiver enter the portal, let me see
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: these stats?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, what do you say about this guy?
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: What do you think about that guy?
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: But I'm also trying to talk about in a way
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to where I'm I'm separating myself from like, again, I
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: want Nebraska to win. I want us to get all
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: the best players in the portal. You wrong us, I'm
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: coming after you, right, But just something that's just it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: it's always bothered me. I know it's always going to
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: continue to happen. Just I just feel like it's a
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: it's like a lost cause.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: This time last year, in one of these games that
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: we're gonna break down Ole Miss Miami, Ole Miss will
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: start a quarterback that was at Ferris State or Ago two.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Don't don't let anyone tell you there aren't better options
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: out there for Nebraska.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey that's beautiful.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And you so there's two things you've done. Beautiful that
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and allowing us to get away from me. How hard
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you are on Alabama.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: We pivoted.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: That was wildly impressive because you deserve a lot more
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: talking to about what took place last week.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: I'm not about getting what I deserve. I'm about getting
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: what I want.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that is completely fair.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: We get in a Fiesta Ball. We interrupt this episode
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: to bring you Form Energy. Form Energy delivers best in
• 23:35

  Speaker 1: Episode, the Fiesta Bowl is taking place. We got number
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: ten Miami, who what a THUNKSTI who stood an stood
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: an Will said the Miami shouldn't be in this team.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I shouldn't be he.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Said Kenny Minsch in Notre Dame should have been in there.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Back up, that's right, you wanted Kenny Minsche in the playoffs?
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: What did I What did I say on Yeah?
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: And also Miami? What what did I say on the broadcast?
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: The ass whooping was happening? Alabama should not be in
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: the College Wall playoff. Put Notre Dame in Miami in
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: the College Old playoffs. When I posted before the College
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Faall playoff rankings came out, I had a here's what
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna do. Here's what I wish would happen.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: And nine, nine, and ten were Miami and Notre Dame,
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: and eleven and twelve were Alabama and BYU.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: So you say what you want.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I never said that Miami wouldn't belong when I argued
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Miami being out.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: It was when the argument was just out of Notre
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Dame in Miami.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: Crazy, just go lose to Louisville and move to SMU whatever.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami, Miami's I ain't beat no House by tena
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: just Miami, Miami's favor and a half, Miami's favorite three
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and a half toorpoints.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Am It's fifty one and a half will what do
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: you think about this game?
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I believe Notre Dame would be both these teams.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Is that gonna? Are we putting that up on the boards?
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I like Miami. I like Miami.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: I think Miami is the most physical football team that's
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: left in the final four of the college.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Were they the most physical team in the playoff period?
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: I think the answer is also yes.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, I would say yes.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I know you did a great job kind of breaking down. Hey,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: when people are trying to come after you saying everything
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: on Miami was better than Ohio State, you were absolutely
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: right about the beef that this Miami team has on
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: offense and defensive line.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Like bain Mesador, Who's is it?
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Moten? Yeah?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Moten?
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: That front four, the way they can apply pressure while
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: keeping the back seven playing coverage, disguising simulated pressures, all
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: the different things that that Miami defense is allowed to do.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Who's at Cante Scott who had that pick that picked
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: six and took him back to the house.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Dude?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: They are physical. The back seven will knock your dick
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: in the dirt, bro. They're the most physical football team.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: And I love everything about the story of Ole Miss.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: All four of these teams There's something that I love
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: about all of their story arcs. I love that ole
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Miss is winning in spite of their head coach. I
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: love that they conquered the beast in Georgia when they
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: lost to Georgia with Lane Kiffin on the sideline. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: love the high powered offense. This is an offense I
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: hadn't scored less than thirty all season long. The quarterback
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: dual threatcat can beat you. The most dangerous. Josh Paate
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: has said it the most dangerous quarterback in the college
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: football playoff. Ye I love all of that stuff about him.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I think Miami's going to have their handful, is going
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: to have their hands full defensively trying to stop this offense.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: But I do lean on the physicality of Miami. I
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: lean on the defense that the savviness that they play with.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: And I love that Carson Beck has played with pooise
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: in the Collegewell Playoff. He's taking care of the football.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Fledgers came alive in the run game. He's averaging what
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: one to thirty across these two games. And then last
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: week it's like, hey, if you're Ohio State, you take
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: away who in the receiving core of Miami, and he
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: still got He's still had five perceptions. But other Cats
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: are coming alive on the outside. And you just see
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: a team that's fully taking on the identity of their
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: head coach. And I I love the way Miami's been
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: playing football. I love the way Old Miss has gotten
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: to this point. I think it's gonna be an awesome game.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: I just lean on the physical in the defense of
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Miami to.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Beat Ole Miss.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Totals what fifty one and a half turning away from
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: the spreads.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Huh yeah, you like the under scared ball? No, you
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: like the over?
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm gonna take the over as my pick.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Then why not take Old Miss plus dow in a.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Half because I still think Miami's gonna win with the over.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ole Missus defense, they're lighting the ass in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: second level, you know how.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I'm always looking at that second.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Level, always looking at them dies in the second level.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: They do have a defense where Miami can keep up
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: with them in this game, and it's gonna come down
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: to Miami making some of those big plays defensively, getting
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: after Chambliss and trying to get to the ground when
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: he is being dangerous on the outside. I could see
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: him being a high score game in Miami, just coming
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: out on top.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I was at the Miami game earlier this year and
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Kevin Jennings went off. He was hurt too, and he
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: went off against Miami. Now, I'm going to tell you
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: straight up, I think Miami's playing at a way different
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: level now than they were in that game. It's probably
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: a wake up call for him, all right. So over
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: fifty one and a half is going to be my pick.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: If I picked against the spread, it would be Miami
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: minus the points. My question is is this game played
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: like in structure? Because if it's played in structure, if
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: there's not a ton of Trinidad Chamblis's circus plays like
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: he had against Georgia, I would love Miami to cover.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: I probably love the under at that point too. But
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: the thing about that is when you think you've got
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: a two way disadvantage on the line of scrimmage, which
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: old Miss does here, there's not much incentive to play
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: the game in structure. So there's incentive to just wildly
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: fire until the chambers are empty, and at that point
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: you tip your cap to Miami if they just leaned
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: on you and they won the game. Here's what will
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: make me nervous a little bit we've long since documented
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: on this show. Miami's done a really good job containing
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: mobile quarterbacks. Trinidad Shambliss is not the kind of guy
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: who's gonna rack up a ton of rushing yardage. That
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: was never gonna be his game. His game is extending
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: plays like you saw against Georgia. Maybe occasionally he runs
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: for a first down. Carson Beck doing that too, by
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: the way. But what would make me nervous is Miami's
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: ground game against really good run defenses has held up
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: in the playoffs. They had twenty eight for one to
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: seventy five against amm that's a top forty run defense.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: They had thirty seven for one point fifty three against
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Ohio State, that's a top ten run defense. Ole Miss
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: is sixty fifth. So there is a world where if
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: ole Miss does not come out of the gate hot
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: and the game just settles in that Miami just settles
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: in and they just start leaning, and it's and it's
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: in a methodical game, and it's over in three hours
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: and eight minutes, and Miami wins and they move on
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: and you end up saying, wow, I was kind of
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: boring those kind of anti climactic. The one problem potentially
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: with Miami getting the game they want is it compresses
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: the game and it builds a trapdoor situation where ole
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: Miss does nothing early Miami just starts running the ball,
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: grinding the clock. They're up seven to nothing, they're up
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: ten to three. You get to halftime and you think
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: this is utter domination on the stat sheet, but the
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: scoreboard says it's one possession, because that's how those games go.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: That's a fourth quarter approach, and you end up stretching it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: At the very end, the trapdoor comes where you've seen
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: ole Miss do nothing, and it's late third quarter and
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Miami's up like, you know, a possession, maybe ten points
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: or something like that. And then all of a sudden,
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: the fact that ole Miss is number four in the
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: country and explosive plays number three in the country and
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: capbuster plays happens and it validates and just out of nowhere,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: boom boom, and you look up and you are dominating,
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: You're out gaining them, You've got all the advantages on
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: the stat sheet, and it's tied. And at that point
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: your strategy has worked against you because you've run the
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: ball you've grinded clock, you've condensed the game, and it's
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter and we each got two possessions left now,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: and they figured out a way to tie it up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: And at that point, Trinidad chandlers can do one special
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: thing and beat you. So I think it's a big
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: mistake if Miami starts good and then they try and
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: grind the pace to a halt. I really think they
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: got to be aggressive. There's no reason for me to
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: look at Carson Beck against this Ole miss team and
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: think anything other than he should be a weapon. Malachi
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: TONI should be a weapon. You talked about getting a
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: few more receivers worked in our run game. We should
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: be balanced, We should be able to hang thirty five
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: on them if we need to, and there's no way
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: they're scoring thirty five on us. So I think Miami,
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: even if they get off to a strong start, got
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: to keep scoring. Got to keep scoring. And that's why
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: my strategy is over fifty one and a half. But
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: I think Miami's gonna win and cover.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Miami's gonna win a cover. So your bet is over fifty.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: My bet is the total. My heart is with Miami
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: minus three and a half.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Got you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I agree with everything I say, especially when it comes
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to the trenches, like Miami has a massive edge on
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the offensive line side of the ball and the defensive
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: line side of the ball. The thing that gives me
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit of pause is can Ole Miss run
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the ball effectively in this game? And it's not about
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss dropping back, scanning, surveying, and passing the ball
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: in the field. It's behind the line of scrimmage, like
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you said, extending plays when these defensive defensive backs on
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the back end try to plaster, someone gets loose like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: they have the entire season against Ole Miss, and he
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: makes big plays down the field over and over and
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: over again. Couple that with Old Miss using a lot
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of tempo in this game to slow down that defensive
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: line and make them run east to west, over and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: over by the time you get in that third and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: I like Ole Miss.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: That's where I get worried.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Because I really think, like we've we've questioned all Miss
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: throughout this entire process. We've watched them, We've watched their
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: head coach take all his coaches from LSU back to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, back and forth. As the weeks have gone
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: on Lane Kiffin is leaving LSU Bowl games early. He's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: making his coaches come back to do recruiting visits while
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: also they're trying to gain plan for a semi final
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: playoff spot. And the only thing these kids have done
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is just exceed every expectation out there.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I feel like America is like rooting for this. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: sit there from one of them. Yeah, I sit there,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: and I'm like root for him against Georgia. Lucy the
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: running back is a dog. Yeah, Lacey Lacy, the running
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: back is a dog. Yeah, Lucy Lacy. Lucy Nicotine's incredible. Dude,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: there's I think in this game if Old Miss can
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: do what they've done the entire years. I believe it
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: was Washington State early in the season when they kind
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: of had a sleeper before a big game, close game,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: sleeper before a big game. I think you're gonna put
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Miami situation to where Carson Beck. Everyone wants talk great
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: about Parson Beck and how at the beginning of the
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: season went a little stumble in the middle, but it
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: has been.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Great since then. He threw one one hundred fifty six
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: yards last game Miami.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't feel like people are saying like
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: he's but he's out there ball and like he's he's.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Showing somebody not.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Will Compton said, you you look at Carson Beck as
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a weapon in this game. I think if you use
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Carson Beck as a weapon in this game, you have
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a high probability of turnovers.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Don't you think the weapon last game with his legs,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: but I think with his.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Two was here for one hundred prederent yards.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: True, they were very effective.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Y'all see you saw them with that shoulder last game. Right,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: let's see it putting that shoulder down on some boys
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: weight room.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Like.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I think they run the ball really effectively. I think
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: they've proven that. You said the stats right there. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: think if Old Miss can turn this into a game
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: that almost wants to play, where it's fifty thirty and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a third with and one hundred yards long and allowed
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to make these defensive linemen run east to west throughout
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the entire game and tire them out and extend plays.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Have some explosives here and there, but get them ten
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to twelve play drives. I like Ole Miss in this game,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm taking Old Miss to cover three and a half.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: The other part of the trap door theory. I'm glad
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: you mentioned that because part of the trap door theory is, hey,
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Miami's up at the half, but you look at the
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: stat sheet and ole Miss ran thirty nine plays, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: the thirty nine plays involved those defensive linemen on the field,
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: and you converted some third downs and you just you
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: just made them stay on the field, and you're looking
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: and you're saying, thirty nine, what's about to happen in
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: the second half. Because the thing about big dudes that
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: you'll notice that doesn't apply to dbs or wide receivers
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: is once their tank is empty, their tank's just empty, right.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: They don't reload. Big dudes don't reload, especially defensive linemen,
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: they don't really reload, and so once they're gassed, they're gassed.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: And that's what worries me. And that's why I think,
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: even if it's a lower scoring game to start out with,
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: I still like that over because I think at some point,
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: if you even get a fraction of what ole Miss
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: did against Georgia, there's going to come a time where
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: you know, that game turns loose in the second half,
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: maybe early fourth quarter, And that's what makes me nervous.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: So I still like Miami, but because I think they
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: can score two. I just think they may have to
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: score because they give up a little bit more than
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: they're used to.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Right, But if you look at both teams, you're like,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: which team has to score? Who do I feel more
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: comfortable with producing seven US as opposed to three?
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: What team are you picking in that just that situation.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: It would be Old Miss. But I will say this
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Ole Miss may have the greatest kicker in the history
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: of organized sports. That dude's once once you if you
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: get fair, catch the ball in the end zone, he's
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: almost in field goal range. You need about ten fifteen yards.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: I feel like that dude would have been good from
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: seventy five the other day.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I like Old Mess. I love the story too.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I love how Lane Kiffin is now like just actually
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: trying to ruin their playoffs. He's like no longer a hiding.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: At first, it was like, let me try to be
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: a little more sneaky about this. Now he's out of
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the bushes. He's out of the bushes, just be like, hey,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: we're we can't win this happen.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I love all of the stories of these four teams.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely left.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my heart is I'm worried about this next time
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: we're about to talk about, but I do. I'm excited
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to watch this game as a fan and see all
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the ACC dowters, myself included, see if they are like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: hey they get something to stand out. Hey, we're our
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: ACC football team is in the National Championship. And then
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: this old Missagle with Lane Kiffin and all the things
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: he tried to do to derail them. Can they withstand
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: all the distractions?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: And just can and just be great?
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Can you?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: And don't give the a sec that Bro, They're just
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: still very mediocre. They have Miami.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: But it's the same thing like now the ACC cans
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: sit there and say our top is better than anybody
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: else's top, yeah, which is like, yeah, it's a whole
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: nother war for next year when we get after the season.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: And I just love hearing the rumbling suit the U
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: is back.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: You hear what Mario said about that?
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: What Mario said?
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: So Mario, I was down there three years ago and
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: I was sitting in his office and he just like
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: went on this tirade which was off camera, and he's
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: really good off camera, He's okay on camera. Mario's a
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: really good off camera. So he's just pounding Cuban coffee
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: shots at his desk and he's going off about the
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: U being back. He said, I'm I'm going to clean
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: it up a little bit. But he said, I'm so
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: tired of these people asking me when the U is
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: going to be back. The US never going to be
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: back because we can't ever replicate what we did in
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the late eighties and early nineties, not because we don't
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: want to, but because the entire sport has changed. It's
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: impossible for any want to do what we did in
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: the late eighties and early nineties. I'm not focused on
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: bringing the U back. I'm focused on building what the
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: U is going to be. And I sat there and
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: I said, putting on a T shirt, that's great. Yeah,
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: well US three years ago, you know. So they've still
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: had some bad losses since then, and like people have
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: been up and down on him, saying he's just a recruiter.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: He can't do this, he can't do that. A lot
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: of cannot when it should have been has not. So
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: now they're four quarters away from playing for a national
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: championship in their own building. By the way, it'll be
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: a home game for the national title game, and he
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: said it the other night they interviewed him. I think
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Scott Benpelt had him on Sports Center. He's got the
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: headset on, He's right there, there's confetti still flying down,
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: and he said a version of that. He said, I've
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: not really been worried about getting the U back. That
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: was another era in college football history. We love the tradition,
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: we appreciate it, we respect it, but I'm focused on
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: building what the U is going to be. That's the
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: exact proper stance to have. He had it. It's not
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: some new catchphrase that marketing gave him on a post
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: it note, like that's how they've constructed things down there,
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: because the only thing that this Miami team would have
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: in common with those teams if they won the title
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: was that they won the title. Nothing about the way
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: these teams are constructed now has anything in common with
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: the way Howard Schnellenberger or Jimmy Johnson or anyone like
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: that put those teams together back then.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: That's fair. Also, Michael Irvan on the sideline Belta ass.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Belts, Ray, Lewis, Ray and Lewis. You gotta wonder who's
• 39:21

• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Big Natty and Laney.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: I have a nine and a half on the nervousness
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: scale about to predict this game. And I shouldn't feel
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: the way I feel, but I'm nervous. Go ahead.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: We have the True Classic Game of the Week right now.

• 40:09
  Speaker 1: True Classic hab in my back. Let's get into the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Tru Classic Game of the week. Can I can fully
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: get on board with that. This is the Peach Bowl,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium, Number five, Oregon versus number one in Indiana.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Indiana's favored by three and a half points total. That
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: game is forty six and a half. No one wants
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to go first. Nope, no, No one wants to have
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: this conversation. Dan Lanning, friend of the show, Signetti Denier,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: but soon to be a friend of the show, doesn't
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: know it yet. Maybe the most well coached football team
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: in Bloomfield, Indiana. Bloomington Bloomington, Indiana, follow by the second
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: most best coach team in Eugene, Oregon.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Are they though?
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're good, They're well coached. Do you really think so? Situationally,
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: I think they're really good.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: And I hated situational offense with them this last game.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: I hated it. I mean, we will. Stein's partly checked out.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: He's busy taking your quarterback down there at Kentucky, they
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: go for God bless they go for it eight times
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: on fourth down.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: That the new age of football, dude, the new age
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: of football.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: You're not about to tell me everyone's just out there
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: going for it over half a dozen times on fourth
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: down per game. It looked a little shape.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: We got to get him. On the phone with Greg Olson.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: I've heard no don't make sense. I'm not saying the
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: analytics don't make sense. I'm saying, all right, forget, forget
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: the fourth down thing. That's a byproduct of I think
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: some offensive inefficiency that they had in this game. So
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: I'm kind of joking, but I'm kind of serious. There
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: was defense, but that's true. There was a lot of
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: stuff that Oregon could afford to get away with against
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Texas Tech that would just bankrupt you against Indiana because
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Indiana can make you pay for that stuff. And man,
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I go back a couple of years.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: I remember Dubor was still at Washington Landing and Oregon
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: played them twice one in Seattle, won in the PAC
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: twelve Championship game, and I was up at the game
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: in Seattle. He goes for it on fourth down a
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: couple of times, they don't convert and they lose, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: he just gets drug in the media, and I respected
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: him because he said we just didn't execute, like I'm
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: not changing my strategy. I'm not changing my formula. And
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: that got born out because later in the year they
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: still go for it on fourth down. But then they
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: got to the Pactweld Championship game, and I ran my
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: mouth all year about how orgon in the rematch they'll
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: win it. They're favored by like ten, and they got
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: beat worse that time than they did the first time around.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: And so this whole Dan landing in a rematch thing
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: still got to see it. That's part one. But part
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: two is the fourth down thing. So last week, you
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: go for it eight times on fourth down, you convert
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: four of them. There were a lot of arguments that
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: maybe you kept Texas Tech in the game by not converting.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: So the answer is, of course, to execute. You convert
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: and you're good. But there's another thing that could creep
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: into play here. You're watching the film of Alabama in Indiana,
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Kaylin de Bor just egregiously goes for it on fourth
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: down on his own thirty yard line. They don't convert,
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: and the damn breaks on Alabama. So you've got your
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: fourth down experience against Texas Tech, You've got people experiencing
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: fourth down failure against Indiana. You've got your entire career
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: and your ethos and your DNA. How are you going
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: to handle fourth down play? Calling? Fourth down decision making
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: in this game, because the best thing Indiana does is
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: they force you off of who you are, Like there's
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: no world where I think Alabama's making those decisions against
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: Georgia or Tennessee. But Indiana made them feel the pressure
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: and make those decisions. And so these decisions, these game decisions,
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: these third and fourth down play calling decisions, I wonder
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: how different that looks in this game. And then the
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: other thing that I wonder is is there enough looseness
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: in the puzzle? Like are there enough blank pieces in
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: the puzzle of Indiana or are they just fully put together?
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Because the puzzle that's fully put together, that's just there's
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: no loose ends, there's no blank spaces, there's no weaknesses.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: In other words, which means you have to either be
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: as good as them and execute or you just got
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: to be more talented than them and execute at a
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: relatively high level. And I just hadn't seen anyone do
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: it this year. So I think the staff edge goes
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: to Indiana because I don't I don't care what Dan
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: Lanning says. I hate that you have stats, including his,
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: that have multiple coordinators on their way out the door.
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: You will never convince me, that's not an issue, and
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: I think conditionally once we get out of the playoffs
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: and you start to get some truth serum in some
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: folks anonymously, I'm not just talking about Oregon here, I'm
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: talking about a number of stats. You will hear that
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: this was a huge impediment to people's preparation and people's
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: game week execution. You will hear that. So Dante Moore,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: I think the game falls on him. Dante Moore got
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: picked off a couple of times. I think in this game.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: The first time around.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: It's because their average distance to gain on third down
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: was over six yards, so they got to get him
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: in manageable situations. They had five third and nine plus situations,
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: so third and fourth down. I know it's always important.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: It's the most important out of it any of these
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: playoff games for Oregon in this game. So if anyone
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: can convince me they're gonna execute it that high level,
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: I would pick Oregon, but they didn't against Texas Tech.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: I think Indiana can put the heat on you every
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: bit as much, if not more than Texas Tech. So
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: I'm just done doubting him. You got his number, I don't.
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: I don't have Kurt Signetty's number. He's never texted me,
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: but I know not to doubt him. So if Dan
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: Lanning needs disrespect, if Dan Lanning needs doubt, if he
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: needs a face to look at in the mirror other
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: than his own, he can look at mine. Because I
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: may not be doubting him. I'm just believing in the
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: other guy more so, I'm gonna take Indiana to win.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: I will take Indiana to cover.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: So Dan Lanning looks in the mirror and he's he's
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: a doubter, and it's Josh Pate. It's unfortunately out of
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the one. Oh my goodness, I believe Indiana is the
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: best coach team in all of college football right now.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Thirteen points that Oregon got came from four turnovers against
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Indiana is not going to give you those
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: types of opportunities, Dan Landing, as much as I love him,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you're right. He's a super aggressive guy who's gonna live
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: and die by his own sword. You we pointed out
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the couple of years ago against Washington, killing the bor
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: going for a fourth down. If I'm strategically going against
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana and my office is not getting off to a
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: good start and it's and I know how they can
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: kind of just trudge down the field to run the ball,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: RPOs passing the ball. I'm going to flip the field
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: on them and make them go the length of the field.
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Dan will do that. I agree
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: because he's shown that and you you, I mean, you
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: said all of it. They were horrible and third down
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: last time, I think he got sacked how many times?
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: But six times in the first matchup.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: I think three or fourteen on third down.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe I think that number goes down a little bit
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: because of the injury that took place to that that
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: player that I can't remember his name right now. But
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get four turnovers against Indiana. You're
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go to the length of the field.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get him on some petty they
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: jumped off side. There's a free five yards, so we're
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: going to take a shot down the field. Dante Moore
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to win for Ore going to win this game, Danzey
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Moore has to be elite.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: It can't be your run game. It can't be six
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: point seven on the ground. I know their rushing stats
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: weren't great in this last game, but a lot of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: that comes back to how many times he was sacked.
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: It does even the sack adjusted though, they were under
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: two yards per carry, so they sucked running the ball
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: even without sacks. But if you take out sacks in
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: the Indiana game, they were near five yards per carry.
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: They did not run the ball terribly against Indiana the
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: first time around. That's why the key I said it
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: eventually falls on Dante Moore. That's all predicated on your
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: run game being able to do enough of what it
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: should be able to do. Like Bama had nothing running
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: the ball in Indiana. You should have something, not a
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: whole lot, but you should have something running the ball
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: against Indiana. Stephen Daily being out for Indiana ended up
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: not mattering against Bama. Maybe it matters in this game.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: Maybe this is where that shows that.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it does, and based on my page,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think it does. And it breaks my heart
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: for Oregon. Breaks my heart because I'm a massive fan
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of Dan Landing. And then when he looks in the
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: mirror of doubt, he's gonna see both of our faces.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: We'll find out if there's three faces in front of
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: him in just a second but they have to do
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: things we haven't seen on film in order for them
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: to be successful against Indiana.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: And because of that, I have.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: To go with the safer bet, which is I have
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to pick the team that I've seen do it on film,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: which is Indiana.
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: Do you remember Landing post game against Penn State.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, coked out of his mind, not really coked out.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: That's a people are.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: Gonna take that Coca Cola classic. Yeah, polar bear style.
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: That has to pale in comparison. You know, he's watching,
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: you know how he has to feel, and he's he's
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: seated like I am right now, because he knows there's
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: one man who can save them. There's one man who
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: can pull the nose up on this before it craters
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: into the earth. His name is William Compton.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: His nose is cratered into the earth.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: You're kidding me, no this, hey, but here's a positive.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: This is don't even break anything down. Exactly what break
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: down is exactly what Organ needs to win one, two
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: three on Indiana.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the show boys. I've been on this for
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: a week longer. All good. I'm happy to have you.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: But this is gonna help Organ win this game.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: There ain't much to break down.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: You guys, lay out scenarios where the game could be
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: played like four different ways. Every outcome screams Indiana. Not
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: a whole lot of fodder from Bignetti. The name Bignetti
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: texting me other than he knows I'm his daddy. Yeah,
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: that's it. And he and I sit there and read that,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, he is his daddy, Like Big Netty
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: is big bro and Landing is little bro. In this situation,
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: there's there's no and everybody knows we love Orgon.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: We love Orgon.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: Our bias lies with Lanning and organ absolutely that fan
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: base does.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Any time we go out there.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Animal House, Animal film there and you still haven't seen
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: the movie, gotta watch it. But a animals master Matt Kearney, Yeah.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: He's got the song.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, but voice, hey heartbreaking.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah it's Kurt Bignetti after all the things that he said,
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: not about Dan. You can talk about a guy, you
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: talk about a guy's family, you talk about a guy's wife.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: And the beautiful thing is a lot of times when
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: people trash talk you where they take shots at you
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: in life, you don't get a chance to seek retribution.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: You don't get a chance to avenge yourself. Dan Lanning
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: has a chance to avenge himself, his name, his team,
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: his family, his.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Wife, his friends, us. But Kurt Bignetti is gonna be
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: across the sideline. He's gonna look at Dan and he's
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: gonna go and it's over.
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: Was there a harder clip to come out this last week? Then?
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: When he did at to Pat.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: McAfee, that's unbelievable. It was unbelievable. Rose Bull, Well, the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: first time you need it was ever in the rose
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Ball had to.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: Be Yeah, uh with in color TV era, certainly. And
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: you know what the worst part of it was, You
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: seen Silence of the Lambs? Yeah, okay, Hannibal Lecter. One
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: of the famous things about him is when he was
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: killing people, his heart rate never got above eighty. And
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: so he's beaten a cop to death spoiler alert, he's
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: beaten a cop to death with his club. He's beating
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: his head, he gets the prison doors, and all the
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: while he just has this look on his face like
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: he's watching the TV show.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: Just boring TV show too.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: That was Kurt Signetti. Kurt Signetti sitting there finger gun
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: in Pat McAfee thinking of him, suff you have no
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: idea what I'm about to do to these kids.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: They finished the Rose Bowl, they fly back to Indiana.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I've already throughout the city. He corrected me Onloo Bloomington.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: He lets his coaching staff, goes home. He stays at
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: the office for six more hours, six to eight more hours,
• 51:56

  Speaker 1: It's not the Oregon Ducks, it's not the Northwest, it's
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: not it's not his wife. It's if you let Indiana
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: win this game and the transfer portal that we live in,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: we will now be living in a world where kids
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: will give up, give up some money to go to
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Indiana to pick coach.
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: By Kurtz I think they already are.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Hey, that's on Dan. That's one hundred Dan. If they
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: loses this.
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: Game, Hey, I got one more thing for you to
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: I got a text Landing. I got one more thing
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: for you. Now, let me ask you this. You hear
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: some of the haters, Believe it or not, not everyone
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: loves Dan Lanning. Some people say about him, what is
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: he won? What does he want?
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: Cause to some people, if you haven't won a national title,
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: you haven't won anything. I think he's in the James
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: Franklin spot last year because they were saying that about
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: James Franklin. James Franklin doesn't win the Big Ten title
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: but still goes to the playoff. Right hosts a playoff game,
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: just like Landing. Did they beat SMU at home? Oregon
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: beat JMU at home? Then Penn State goes and they
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: beat Boise in the Fiesta Bowl. Well, Oregon goes and
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: they beat Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. But still
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: you're not going to get credit for it because to
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: the public, Oh, those were games you were supposed to win.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: It's Penn State go beat Notre Dame. Well you can't
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: Drawaler throws an interception, season over and the haters were
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: still even after you won two playoff games, saying, at
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: the end of the day, what has James Franklin won?
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: Mark my words, if Oregon lou this is this game,
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: the haters will still say about Dan Lanning, what has
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: he won? So throw that on his shoulders as well
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: to any Franklin, That's what they'll say.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Did you text him that? No, I texted her. I
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: said Bignetti owns.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: You'll sell the follow up and say none of us
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: believe in you thumbs up to both this thumbs up.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's heartbreaking. I was really hoping one of you would.
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: You actually say that.
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I was really helping one of you would go Oregon
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: because I feel extra bad now that we're all.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: Three of us are in the hurt list. It's gonna hurt.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Get it done.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: You can't not recognize what this Indiana team has done.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Most balanced football team, which feels like a like a
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: like a cop out on talking about how much respect
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: that this team has on the ground with Mendoza, that defense,
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: the secondary, the way that they play, I mean, they are.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: They are that squad.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: They are elite and all the boring things in football. Yeah,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and that's what makes them excellent. Yeah, they don't make
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: mistakes a lot of bite. Yeah, but they're so sound
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: in their techniques. They're always in the right spots when
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: they're breaking their routes. Their offensive line is always on
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the same page. Mendoza always knows where he's going. Even
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: in the first first series of the game, Like you
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: see the lead up to the Rose Bowl and they're
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: breaking down games of Fernanda Mendoza played, and he shows
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of plays in that game, goes to Fernanda
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Mendoza singing in a car shirt, talking to the person
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: whoever it was, breaking down the stuff, and he goes, yeah,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I'll be hono. So I was really nervous, and then
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: we all just settled down and we knew we had
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: each other's back. In Classic Frenanda Mendoza Verbid Cinema and
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: they showed it two or three times, two or three
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: games they talked about and two or three times he
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: says similar things about being nervous calming down Alabama starts.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: They get two sacks in the first series on their
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: first two dropback passes, and it's exactly it's like, yeah,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: they're probably a little nervous, and they settled down and
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: for Nana Mendoza and that that computer of his, they.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Just yeah, the only team who's won with a bye
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: teams with the buye are what it was?
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: One and seven?
• 56:10
