Texas Longhorns CFP Chances, Indiana Football Reality Check, 24-Team Playoff, Brendan Sorsby & More · Unafraid Show with George Wrighster

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
0:01
Speaker 2: We gotta tell the truth about the Texas Longhorns with
0:05
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkis and as their head coach, Are they a
0:08
Speaker 2: real contender and its sark championship level coach. ESPN has
0:12
Speaker 2: Indiana over Oregon as the best offseason ranking in the
0:16
Speaker 2: Big Ten. I got news for Indiana. They need a
0:20
Speaker 2: reality check about college football.
0:22
Speaker 1: And how this thing really works.
0:24
Speaker 2: It looks like we are likely getting a twenty fourteen
0:27
Speaker 2: playoff when we might end up their kicking and screaming.
0:30
Speaker 2: Big ten coaches have come out unanimously in support of
0:34
Speaker 2: the twenty fourteen playoffs. I'm gonna explain to you what
0:37
Speaker 2: that means. And I text two Big Ten coaches about it,
0:40
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna tell you what's going on. Our friend
0:42
Speaker 2: Brooks Austin sent out a tweet about replacement players in
0:45
Speaker 2: college football, and I believe that it just highlights the
0:50
Speaker 2: issue in nil versus paid for play and how real
0:54
Speaker 2: college football fans are rooting for the laundry Over the
0:58
Speaker 2: next Brendan soarsby He's getting a friendly judge, a Texas
1:02
Speaker 2: tech judge, but what will he ultimately decide? And we're
1:07
Speaker 2: watching more teams sue their former players who hopped in
1:11
Speaker 2: a transfer portal, and this is something.
1:13
Speaker 1: That you need to get used to. That and so
1:16
Speaker 1: much more on the show.
1:17
Speaker 2: Make sure that you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a friend,
1:22
Speaker 2: let's get to it.
1:32
Speaker 1: The best thing that.
1:33
Speaker 2: I saw today twenty twenty seven wide receiver Quenton Burrell.
1:38
Speaker 2: He's making his commitment, has his hat ceremony family around him,
1:43
Speaker 2: and he commits to Michigan. What problem is he picked
1:46
Speaker 2: up a Notre dame hat immediately realizes it. But this
1:50
Speaker 2: was just fun and even players mess up, So congratulations
1:54
Speaker 2: to the kid on his commitment. But yeah, that was
1:57
Speaker 2: fun all right. Now down to business. I believe if
2:00
Speaker 2: we are headed to getting the twenty fourteen playoff that
2:03
Speaker 2: we do not want. After the Big Ten coaches at
2:07
Speaker 2: their meeting out in LA have come out in hunanimous
2:11
Speaker 2: support eighteen and zero for the twenty fourteen playoffs. So
2:14
Speaker 2: Big Ten, their commissioner Tony Petiti, the Big Ten coaches,
2:18
Speaker 2: the Big twelve, and the ACC as a conference completely
2:23
Speaker 2: for the twenty fourteen playoff, while the SEC and ESPN,
2:27
Speaker 2: who holds the rights to the college football playoff right now,
2:30
Speaker 2: are firmly against it. So that significant opposition, but when
2:34
Speaker 2: you have so many people for it, you could end
2:37
Speaker 2: up there kicking and screaming despite what fans actually want.
2:41
Speaker 2: So on one hand, the Big Ten is it is
2:43
Speaker 2: right for them and expected for them to flex their
2:47
Speaker 2: newfound power and their voice at the spring meetings, but
2:50
Speaker 2: it is one hundred percent wrong to support this twenty
2:53
Speaker 2: fourteen playoff. Now I've gone over the reason why coaches
2:57
Speaker 2: are supported in the twenty fourteen playoff because they want access.
3:01
Speaker 2: They believe that this is going to give them more
3:03
Speaker 2: job security, that it is going to balance the field
3:07
Speaker 2: out a little bit. And yes, there are some positives
3:10
Speaker 2: to a twenty fourteen playoff, like we can't sit here
3:13
Speaker 2: and ignore it. But you had PJ. Fleck, Minnesota's head coach.
3:18
Speaker 2: Minnesota's one of those teams that could be on the
3:20
Speaker 2: cusp getting into the twenty fourteen playoff, and he said
3:23
Speaker 2: that the popularity of the twenty four team a college
3:26
Speaker 2: football playoff idea comes from having more meaningful games in
3:29
Speaker 2: November across the league. He said, it's got tremendous theme
3:33
Speaker 2: behind it, especially from eighteen coaches in the Big Ten.
3:37
Speaker 2: And now that's the part that I find interesting people
3:40
Speaker 2: believe that this is going to create more meaningful games.
3:44
Speaker 2: And there was a tweet that went out from Danny
3:46
Speaker 2: Canals that I quote tweeted. He talked about the reasons
3:49
Speaker 2: why he believes twenty four right number and all this stuff.
3:52
Speaker 2: There are reasons that I believe that the twenty four
3:56
Speaker 2: team playoff is an awful idea.
3:59
Speaker 1: Awful idea.
4:00
Speaker 2: Number one, expansion to twenty four without stopping at sixteen
4:05
Speaker 2: this makes no sense because you can't put the tooth
4:08
Speaker 2: paste back into two if you expand to twenty four
4:11
Speaker 2: retracting back to sixteen or twelve. Have you ever seen
4:15
Speaker 2: that happen in sports in life where something got bigger
4:18
Speaker 2: and it didn't fail and it got smaller.
4:21
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
4:22
Speaker 2: Here are the four unexpected consequences of a twenty four
4:26
Speaker 2: team playoff. That is number one, coaches will absolutely rest
4:29
Speaker 2: players and rivalry games if they're already guaranteed a playoff spot.
4:34
Speaker 2: My second point was, you only want teams in the
4:37
Speaker 2: college football playoff that can win, and it to be
4:40
Speaker 2: an exclusive group.
4:42
Speaker 1: Number three.
4:42
Speaker 2: That foolishly, the ACC and the Big twelve they believe
4:46
Speaker 2: that they will get more additional teams in twenty four.
4:50
Speaker 1: Then they will at twelve.
4:52
Speaker 2: Now, mind you, yes they will get more teams in,
4:55
Speaker 2: but the ratio will still be the same. The big
4:58
Speaker 2: ten in the SEC they are going to lobby. We've
5:01
Speaker 2: won the most championships, we have the toughest league, all
5:04
Speaker 2: of this stuff. They're both gonna get eight teams in.
5:06
Speaker 2: That's sixteen spots already. Notre Dame's for sure getting a spot.
5:10
Speaker 2: The G six is gonna get a spot or two.
5:12
Speaker 2: So now we got eighteen nineteen spots, So that's gonna
5:16
Speaker 2: leave you with another six to seven spots. The ratio
5:19
Speaker 2: is still gonna be the same. So the question is
5:22
Speaker 2: is that really better for you? And then my fourth
5:26
Speaker 2: point was is that fans are frustrated with the rankings
5:29
Speaker 2: that get to us to a twelve team playoff. How
5:32
Speaker 2: can we have athletic directors and other people who have
5:36
Speaker 2: full time jobs. How are we supposed to believe that
5:39
Speaker 2: they're gonna have time to watch all of these teams
5:41
Speaker 2: and imagine them having to rank forty teams to get
5:44
Speaker 2: to twenty four or fifty teams to get to twenty four.
5:48
Speaker 2: That is an impossible task.
5:50
Speaker 1: Either.
5:51
Speaker 2: You need to find people who cover college football and
5:54
Speaker 2: do this for a living every single day, or you
5:56
Speaker 2: have to leave it at twelve to sixteen and then
6:00
Speaker 2: keep your top twenty five ranking. Bill Connery he put
6:04
Speaker 2: out an article that I thought was very, very interesting.
6:07
Speaker 2: In the article, he highlighted the teams that would have
6:11
Speaker 2: been in the playoffs in twenty twenty five and the
6:14
Speaker 2: way the bracket would have shaken out had it been
6:17
Speaker 2: a twenty fourteen playoff. Virginia USC Alabama versus North Texas,
6:22
Speaker 2: Miami versus Houston, Texas versus Tulane, BYU versus Georgia Tech,
6:28
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt versus Michigan, Notre Dame versus Iowa, and Utah versus Arizona.
6:33
Speaker 1: Now, on its.
6:33
Speaker 2: Face, you're like, yo, this looks cool, But how does
6:37
Speaker 2: this then factor into the rest of the season and
6:40
Speaker 2: how college football fans are going to perceive it. Yes,
6:44
Speaker 2: the championships matter, but the regular season has to be peak.
6:48
Speaker 2: And the victim of that is the NBA. We're watching
6:51
Speaker 2: winby go be great, but the regular season stinks and
6:55
Speaker 2: it's unwatchable and it's frustrating.
6:57
Speaker 1: The NFL.
6:58
Speaker 2: The regular season is great because there are still high stakes.
7:01
Speaker 2: Even though that losses, you can fade losses now here
7:05
Speaker 2: is the truth about this whole thing is the myth
7:09
Speaker 2: that November would be so much more valuable. Well, let's
7:13
Speaker 2: look at the playoff as it would have been, how
7:15
Speaker 2: it would have impacted rivalry week Michigan, they needed a
7:19
Speaker 2: miracle to upset Ohio State last year, they lost by eighteen,
7:23
Speaker 2: and with a twenty fourteen playoff they're comfortably in regardless.
7:29
Speaker 2: Regardless of the outcome of that game. Ohio State, where
7:32
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate weren't fully healthy towards the
7:35
Speaker 2: end of the season, they could have sat their dudes
7:38
Speaker 2: out and still been in the top eight win or lose,
7:41
Speaker 2: so they still would have had a buy. So you
7:43
Speaker 2: had Alabama who had to beat Auburn to keep their
7:47
Speaker 2: play alive to get into the College Football playoff, and
7:50
Speaker 2: then they blew that seventeen point lead but then rallied late.
7:54
Speaker 2: Then you had Oklahoma, who needed to beat LSU to
7:57
Speaker 2: hold on to their college Football playoff birth and they
8:00
Speaker 2: trailed late with five minutes to go in the game.
8:03
Speaker 2: With a twenty fourteen playoff, Oklahoma and Alabama would have
8:07
Speaker 2: been comfortably in, so that game would have had no meaning.
8:11
Speaker 2: Despite people trying to tell you otherwise. Let's look at
8:14
Speaker 2: Texas and Vanderbilt. They both needed to beat their rivals
8:17
Speaker 2: in Texas A and M and Tennessee, but they won
8:21
Speaker 2: right and they still got left out of the playoffs.
8:23
Speaker 2: But in a twenty fourteen playoff, both of them would
8:26
Speaker 2: have been in comfortably no problem win or losing that game,
8:30
Speaker 2: so the stakes are then significantly lower. Georgia Tech, they
8:35
Speaker 2: were facing Georgia. Georgia would have obviously been in win
8:38
Speaker 2: or lose. The Committee actually raised Georgia Tech's ranking after
8:43
Speaker 2: they lost to Georgia, so they would have been in
8:46
Speaker 2: the playoff regardless. Out of all of that, there's only
8:49
Speaker 2: two rivalry games that would have been hands by the
8:51
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen playoff. You had Arizona who would have replaced
8:55
Speaker 2: Arizona State because they ended up winning the Territorial Cup,
8:59
Speaker 2: and then Virginia would have clinched both an ACC title
9:02
Speaker 2: and college football birth with their win over Virginia Tech.
9:05
Speaker 2: Those are the only two games that would have been
9:08
Speaker 2: positively affected, while so many other games would have been
9:11
Speaker 2: negatively affected. It makes no sense. It's not going to
9:15
Speaker 2: happen in terms of making college football better by going
9:19
Speaker 2: to a twenty four team playoff. This is the biggest
9:22
Speaker 2: issue with this twenty four team playoff. Coaches, you know,
9:26
Speaker 2: the Big Ten, the ACC, Big twelve, SEC. They are
9:30
Speaker 2: not looking at college football as an enterprise. They are
9:34
Speaker 2: trying to do what's best for them, and then the
9:36
Speaker 2: individual schools are trying to do what's best for them
9:39
Speaker 2: on a micro level, whereas college football has to do
9:42
Speaker 2: what's best for college football.
9:44
Speaker 1: You got the SEC.
9:46
Speaker 2: Come about breaking away, Big twelve, and everybody's floating all
9:50
Speaker 2: these ideas about will will break away and do our
9:53
Speaker 2: own thing. This is how you know that they are
9:57
Speaker 2: not doing what's best for college football.
10:00
Speaker 1: No one what's best for them.
10:01
Speaker 2: And this is why college football needs one body, one
10:05
Speaker 2: governing body, a ruling everything.
10:07
Speaker 1: They need a commissioner.
10:09
Speaker 2: They need somebody who is going to lead the path
10:12
Speaker 2: and lead the way and stop all this individual crabs
10:16
Speaker 2: in a barrel, silent because you are going to kill
10:19
Speaker 2: college football.
10:20
Speaker 1: But guess what that actually might be.
10:22
Speaker 2: What needs to happen is that you break it down
10:25
Speaker 2: and then build it back up properly, because right now
10:28
Speaker 2: you are headed for disaster. All the Big ten coaches say, oh,
10:33
Speaker 2: we need a salary cap. We need rules, we need enforcement,
10:36
Speaker 2: But when it comes down to it, they don't really
10:39
Speaker 2: want that. They will suit to get players eligible, sue
10:41
Speaker 2: to pay players more, not have a salary cap system
10:45
Speaker 2: that they adhere to find ways to circumvent it. So
10:48
Speaker 2: come on, man, what do you really want? And then
10:51
Speaker 2: my point about coaches resting their players if the game
10:55
Speaker 2: is meaningless and your players aren't fully healthy, we know
10:59
Speaker 2: what is going to happen. Pushback to me was oh, George,
11:02
Speaker 2: Ohio State six players versus Michigan or by the way,
11:05
Speaker 2: the fans of Riot, are we sure about that? Because
11:08
Speaker 2: the second a significant player gets hurt, because remember the
11:12
Speaker 2: college football playoffs, then gonna get pushed back. So there's
11:14
Speaker 2: gonna be less rest time. Some genius media member is
11:18
Speaker 2: going to be saying, well, why did they set anybody out? Anyway,
11:21
Speaker 2: this is a meaningless game and they're gonna do that.
11:24
Speaker 2: And we're talking about the same coaches who take games
11:28
Speaker 2: off of their schedule to make it easier. And you
11:31
Speaker 2: think that they're gonna play a game like that when
11:34
Speaker 2: they know that they're playing for nothing.
11:36
Speaker 1: Come on, man, we know better than that. Leave it
11:39
Speaker 1: in the comments.
11:40
Speaker 2: Are you in favor of a twenty fourteen playoff, and
11:42
Speaker 2: do you think that they that the negatives.
11:45
Speaker 1: Outweigh the positives.
11:46
Speaker 2: I got a message for Indiana fans because ESPN has
11:51
Speaker 2: Indiana over Oregon for the best offseason ranking in the
11:55
Speaker 2: Big Ten.
11:55
Speaker 1: This could not have been more outrageous. And it's not.
11:59
Speaker 2: Even a Oregon because Indiana and their fans the way
12:04
Speaker 2: they have acted after winning a national championship. Yes they
12:08
Speaker 2: should be excited, but their excitement for this season is delusion.
12:13
Speaker 1: Indiana is new money.
12:14
Speaker 2: Indiana is acting like the people who won the lotto.
12:18
Speaker 2: You're still new money. You are not old money Indiana.
12:21
Speaker 2: They're riding high off the residual vibes from last season.
12:24
Speaker 2: Now they got expectations, but they have no idea with
12:28
Speaker 2: big time college football, their history, they were to lose
12:31
Speaker 2: this program. They have no idea how college football works
12:35
Speaker 2: on this level. Now, granted, they have a phenomenal coach
12:38
Speaker 2: in Kirk Signetti, they have a great system, great defensive coordinator.
12:42
Speaker 2: All the infrastructure is right. But the idea that Indiana
12:46
Speaker 2: had a good transfer portal class and that this is
12:49
Speaker 2: going to oh, that we're gonna win it every year,
12:52
Speaker 2: That's not the way it works. You can't guarantee production
12:56
Speaker 2: replacement over a Heisman winner, a full high NFL draft
13:01
Speaker 2: pick wide receivers, a corner that was one of the
13:05
Speaker 2: best in the Big Ten, not even just one of
13:08
Speaker 2: the best in the Big Ten, a first team All
13:10
Speaker 2: American cornerback, and then the assumption that Josh Hoover's turnover
13:15
Speaker 2: issues are going to dissolve. When Fernando Mendoza his one
13:20
Speaker 2: point six percent interception rate, it remained exactly unchanged from
13:26
Speaker 2: his last season at Cal to his Heisman season at Indiana.
13:31
Speaker 2: It shows that Indiana didn't make Mendoza, They just gave
13:35
Speaker 2: him more opportunities to succeed in the context of the
13:39
Speaker 2: skill set that he clearly already had displayed. Come on, man,
13:43
Speaker 2: they're like George, but we got Nick marsh in the
13:46
Speaker 2: transfer portal from Michigan State. Yes, that looks good on paper.
13:50
Speaker 2: Turbo richardson the running back, but he accumulated forty two
13:54
Speaker 2: percent of his rushing yards at Boston College last season
13:57
Speaker 2: against the terrible defenses of Cal, Georgia Tech and he
14:01
Speaker 2: Avers three point seven yards per carry outside of those
14:03
Speaker 2: two games. Now, he might blow up at Indiana, but
14:06
Speaker 2: it is not a guarantee. And this is where Indiana fans.
14:10
Speaker 2: If Nick Saban could not win a national championship every
14:14
Speaker 2: single year, Kurse Signetti is not winning every single year,
14:18
Speaker 2: and it is like Indiana fans forget how they got
14:21
Speaker 2: to this point to begin with. They got to this point.
14:24
Speaker 2: Kurse Signetti comes over, he brings over all the James
14:27
Speaker 2: Madison guys. They developed for a year, they got their
14:31
Speaker 2: teeth kicked in against Ohio State, and then in the
14:34
Speaker 2: playoffs against Notre Dame, they groomed and they got better
14:38
Speaker 2: the next year. So this is not a statement that
14:40
Speaker 2: Indiana is going to be bad this year, but winning
14:43
Speaker 2: a national championship you need to pump your breaks. And
14:46
Speaker 2: they're fans in the comments now, mind you, they have
14:49
Speaker 2: some amazing fans.
14:50
Speaker 1: They are engaged, they are all in on.
14:53
Speaker 2: College football, but they are also new money college football,
14:58
Speaker 2: and they got to learn a lot more about what
15:00
Speaker 2: it takes to sustain the success as opposed to having
15:04
Speaker 2: the success, because if you do it once, it's an accident.
15:08
Speaker 2: If you do it more than once, you can actually
15:10
Speaker 2: do it. There could be another five, six, seven, eight, ten,
15:13
Speaker 2: twenty years before you win another national championship. Even though
15:18
Speaker 2: you may be good year after year after year or
15:21
Speaker 2: continuously put up good teams, but you're going to run
15:24
Speaker 2: into duds. You're gonna run into games where you lost.
15:27
Speaker 2: And it's okay, you're supposed to be excited, but just
15:31
Speaker 2: temper that expectation just a teeny bit. And now to
15:34
Speaker 2: the Oregon component of it. Oregon had a better offseason.
15:38
Speaker 2: They returned their quarterback who was a top five pick.
15:41
Speaker 2: They returned the entire defensive line, which could have multiple
15:44
Speaker 2: first round picks on it. Their defense, they returned the
15:48
Speaker 2: top corner in the Big Ten, and maybe in all
15:51
Speaker 2: of college football. Oregon is returning over fifteen starters and
15:55
Speaker 2: guys who played significantly for them. So listen, Indiana fans.
15:59
Speaker 2: You guys will get it in a couple of years.
16:02
Speaker 2: You had a great season last year and you'll be
16:04
Speaker 2: good again this year.
16:05
Speaker 1: But national championship slow.
16:07
Speaker 2: Down, and you guys hop down in the comments, do
16:09
Speaker 2: you believe that Indiana had the best offseason in the
16:12
Speaker 2: Big Ten? Do you believe that they can win a
16:15
Speaker 2: national championship back to back or do they have some
16:18
Speaker 2: learning to do even though they might still be good.
16:21
Speaker 2: Our Man Brooks Austin sent out a tweet, and I
16:25
Speaker 2: think it went way over people's heads. I have been
16:28
Speaker 2: saying that college football players that they have significant pay
16:32
Speaker 2: for play value, but their NIL value is very, very low.
16:37
Speaker 2: It is minimal because when you look at what NFL
16:39
Speaker 2: players are worth, and I always use Aaron Donald as
16:42
Speaker 2: an example, playing in LA Nike was paying him one
16:46
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. So why would Nike be paying some
16:50
Speaker 2: random defensive tackle in Manhattan or Los Angeles more than that?
16:55
Speaker 2: Come on, man at USC or UCLA. Duh, Come on, bro,
17:00
Speaker 2: it is pay for play. So here is the tweet
17:02
Speaker 2: that Brooks Austin sent out. He said, laugh out loud.
17:06
Speaker 2: Agents threatening to hold out in college football is hilarious
17:10
Speaker 2: to me. If you don't think I would sprint to
17:12
Speaker 2: the TV to watch a fifty three man walk on
17:14
Speaker 2: Mercenary squad, you're more delusional than I thought. College football
17:19
Speaker 2: is not the pros. It is less impacted by star
17:24
Speaker 2: power than the laundry. The laundry is what people root for.
17:29
Speaker 2: And so a couple of years ago, over the course
17:31
Speaker 2: of a weekend, me and my wife we went to
17:34
Speaker 2: on Friday night, one of the best high school football
17:37
Speaker 2: programs in all of the nation. We went to go
17:40
Speaker 2: watching them play against another top team, and then on
17:43
Speaker 2: Saturday we go watch UCLA play Oregon, and then on
17:47
Speaker 2: Sunday we go watch the Rams play, and my wife,
17:50
Speaker 2: who watched a lot of football, obviously been watching it
17:53
Speaker 2: for a very long time. She was like, this is
17:55
Speaker 2: the first time I've seen at the talent level, and
17:57
Speaker 2: the talent jump now the pros. They are upon star power.
18:02
Speaker 2: People want to see the stars play. In college football,
18:05
Speaker 2: people want their team to win. So the only thing
18:08
Speaker 2: that fans really care about is their value relative to
18:13
Speaker 2: everybody else. So I don't need Oregon to have the
18:16
Speaker 2: best stars in all of college football for me to
18:19
Speaker 2: be excited and motivated and want them to win and
18:22
Speaker 2: all of those things. I don't need to see the
18:24
Speaker 2: best product I've ever seen in terms of games. No,
18:27
Speaker 2: I need to see them just have a better product
18:30
Speaker 2: or a comparable product to the other top teams, and
18:33
Speaker 2: then that satisfies my value. That is the thing that
18:38
Speaker 2: people are missing and agents are missing.
18:40
Speaker 1: Now.
18:41
Speaker 2: I was once told this about pro sports, but this
18:45
Speaker 2: is true even truer in college football because of the
18:49
Speaker 2: finite amount of time that you have players now in
18:53
Speaker 2: the world of college football, you may only have a
18:55
Speaker 2: top player on your team for one year. In the
18:57
Speaker 2: old days, you had them for three, three to five,
19:01
Speaker 2: depending on how long that they were there.
19:02
Speaker 1: But that's it.
19:03
Speaker 2: In the NFL, you get to root for your players
19:05
Speaker 2: for anywhere between one in you know, twenty two years.
19:09
Speaker 2: You can root for them for a very long time,
19:11
Speaker 2: so you are get more invested in the players versus
19:15
Speaker 2: college you're rooting for the laundry.
19:16
Speaker 1: Now.
19:17
Speaker 2: When at the Rookie Symposium when I was coming into
19:20
Speaker 2: the league, they gave an example about the NFL. This
19:23
Speaker 2: is no truer than and players exemplify this all the
19:27
Speaker 2: time when they think that they're bigger than the program,
19:29
Speaker 2: they're bigger than the league. They need me in this league,
19:32
Speaker 2: they need me. No, they really don't need you that much.
19:34
Speaker 2: So think about college football as a big barrel of water. Okay,
19:39
Speaker 2: big barrel of water. It's filled up to the brim.
19:41
Speaker 2: However good you are. You get to stick your hand
19:44
Speaker 2: down in the barrel of water, and then when you're
19:46
Speaker 2: done playing, you pull your hand out of the water. Yes,
19:49
Speaker 2: there's some residual water left on your hand, and it
19:53
Speaker 2: feels good. People notice you notoriety. You get a chance
19:57
Speaker 2: to put a little chirron under there. You know, all
19:59
Speaker 2: packed player, you know, the NFL draft pick, played X
20:03
Speaker 2: number of years, all those things they go on to Kiro.
20:06
Speaker 2: But as soon as you pull your hand out, that
20:08
Speaker 2: hole closes up like you were never there. And that
20:11
Speaker 2: is no more true than in college football.
20:14
Speaker 1: As soon as a.
20:15
Speaker 2: Player transfers out, fans are like, yo FM, we didn't
20:19
Speaker 2: need them anyway. Look at Washington with their quarterback DeMont
20:22
Speaker 2: Williams in the season. They're upset that he's not getting
20:26
Speaker 2: Heisman recognition. He says he wants to hop in a
20:29
Speaker 2: transfer portal. Then he's a short midget with a noodle arm.
20:32
Speaker 2: That's their words, not mine. That's how quickly it'll turn.
20:36
Speaker 2: This is why I tell you that the laundry matters.
20:39
Speaker 2: And Brooks Austin is one hundred percent right that if
20:43
Speaker 2: we are fans right, no matter who's in those jerseys,
20:47
Speaker 2: we want the jerseys to win. So we just need
20:50
Speaker 2: a product that is comparable to everybody else's or a
20:54
Speaker 2: little bit above everybody else.
20:55
Speaker 1: Is the way you can win. That's it.
20:58
Speaker 2: That's the difference, and that's why Brooks Austin is one
21:01
Speaker 2: hundred percent right because in the NFL, if you go
21:04
Speaker 2: with replacement players, it's going to impact ratings. You go
21:08
Speaker 2: with replacement players in college football, as long as you're
21:11
Speaker 2: having good games, that is all the people are going
21:14
Speaker 2: to care about. They'll make stars out of them.
21:16
Speaker 1: It's just the truth.
21:18
Speaker 2: And this is also why the salary cap is one
21:20
Speaker 2: hundred percent needed, even though I want my kids to
21:24
Speaker 2: go make all the money that they can, but college
21:27
Speaker 2: football is not being looked at like a business. Next
21:30
Speaker 2: thing up, Brendan Soresby. It appears he got a friendly
21:35
Speaker 2: judge in his case, and is this going to save
21:40
Speaker 2: the Red Raider season because they're judge Philip Pays. The
21:44
Speaker 2: dude has a bachelor's degree and a law degree from
21:47
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Now he is going to be the man
21:50
Speaker 2: that hears and decides Brendan Sorosby's future because me is
21:54
Speaker 2: suing to expedite the nca adjudication process the way he's
21:58
Speaker 2: not forced to enter the inner Supplemental Draft, at least
22:02
Speaker 2: before he knows what his punishment is going to be. Now,
22:05
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of criticism of the judicial system
22:09
Speaker 2: when it comes to at the state level because in Mississippi,
22:14
Speaker 2: they ruled in favor of Trinidad Chambliss. In other states
22:17
Speaker 2: they've ruled in favor of other people, and especially when
22:20
Speaker 2: you get a judge who went to that school. But
22:23
Speaker 2: this case is going to shine a big light on
22:25
Speaker 2: it because Brendan Sowersby has admitted to gambling on the
22:29
Speaker 2: team that he played for. There's so much evidence apparently
22:33
Speaker 2: that he placed over ten thousand bets over twenty a
22:37
Speaker 2: day on things that he was barred from gambling on.
22:40
Speaker 2: And if he gets a positive ruling that he can play,
22:45
Speaker 2: oh all, hell is going to break loose. So we
22:47
Speaker 2: are going to keep monitoring that.
22:49
Speaker 1: Next thing up.
22:50
Speaker 2: These are a couple quick hitters because I got some
22:52
Speaker 2: questions for you. So Tommy Tupperville, former Auburn head coach
22:56
Speaker 2: and coaches other places, he is going and running to
23:00
Speaker 2: be the Alabama governor. Would you vote for Tommy Tubberville
23:05
Speaker 2: just because he was a football head coach in the state?
23:09
Speaker 2: And the next thing of him, and it ironically ties
23:12
Speaker 2: back to the Brendan sowersb thing because Cincinnati was suing
23:16
Speaker 2: him for a million dollars for breach of contract. Now
23:19
Speaker 2: you have Oregon suing their former cornerback who hopped into
23:23
Speaker 2: transfer port Dakota Fields. He owed them and buy out
23:27
Speaker 2: money a little over thirty thousand dollars somewhere between thirty
23:29
Speaker 2: and forty thousand dollars. Oregon says he paid back twenty
23:33
Speaker 2: some one thousand, and he still owes them ten thousand.
23:36
Speaker 1: Plus legal fees.
23:37
Speaker 2: He agreed to pay the university thirty nine thousand, eight
23:42
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two dollars and thirty cents in exchange
23:46
Speaker 2: for his release from his contract when he decided to transfer,
23:49
Speaker 2: and he wrote while the two parties allegedly agreed to
23:53
Speaker 2: discount that payment by ten thousand dollars if Fields made
23:58
Speaker 2: the payment by April twentieth, well, the Oregon claims that
24:01
Speaker 2: Fields didn't submit it in the agreed upon date. Didn't
24:04
Speaker 2: come to work today. That's what Lanning said when he
24:07
Speaker 2: was asked back in the middle of the season. He said,
24:09
Speaker 2: we haven't talked to Dakota, So I guess that's the
24:12
Speaker 2: way it goes nowadays. And this is exactly the way
24:15
Speaker 2: it goes nowadays. So expect more lawsuits from players and
24:19
Speaker 2: their schools about these buyouts. You guys make sure that
24:22
Speaker 2: you guys hop into comments about all of these news stories.
24:25
Speaker 2: But we got to tell the truth about Steve Sarkisian
24:29
Speaker 2: and the Texas Longhorns next. So you guys keep it
24:32
Speaker 2: locked and make sure that you like, share, comment, and
24:36
Speaker 2: tell a friend about the best college football show a rap.
24:41
Speaker 2: I have to tell the truth about the Texas long
24:44
Speaker 2: Horns under mister Steve Sarkisian's leadership. We're not talking about
24:48
Speaker 2: if Texas is back because I'm honestly, I'm tired of
24:51
Speaker 2: hearing that phrase. The better question is what is Texas
24:54
Speaker 2: under Steve Sarkisian right now? And the answer is honestly
24:56
Speaker 2: very simple, the.
24:57
Speaker 1: Truth about Steve Sarkesian. You want the truth. They may
25:00
Speaker 1: win the national title this year. The only Power Conference
25:03
Speaker 1: school that was worse than Texas last year was SMU.
25:06
Speaker 1: I need you to at least get the average date.
25:12
Speaker 1: Texas is wake. Texas is dangerous.
25:14
Speaker 2: Texas has handled the SEC better than a lot of
25:17
Speaker 2: people really want to admit.
25:19
Speaker 1: Rud record belongs to Texas.
25:21
Speaker 2: But Texas also is sitting in that uncomfortable space where
25:25
Speaker 2: respect and defying expectations they are no longer enough. Steve
25:29
Speaker 2: Sarksy he inherited a program that really had become more
25:33
Speaker 2: brand than Bully because in twenty twenty one, Texas went
25:36
Speaker 2: five and seven, and once you lose to Kansas at
25:39
Speaker 2: home as Texas.
25:40
Speaker 1: Brown Band surrender Cobra thumbs down.
25:44
Speaker 2: People ain't just gonna question your coaching, they start questioning
25:47
Speaker 2: the entire operation. But Sarks Climb Back Up has been real.
25:51
Speaker 2: Eight wins in twenty twenty two, twelve wins and a
25:54
Speaker 2: Big Twelve title in twenty three, thirteen wins in an
25:57
Speaker 2: SEC Championship game appearance in twenty four, ten games in
26:01
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.
26:02
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on.
26:02
Speaker 2: I know you guys are enjoying it, but you guys
26:04
Speaker 2: hop in the comments, leave a comment and like share,
26:08
Speaker 2: Subscribe to the channel where the best college football content is.
26:12
Speaker 1: Let's go back to last.
26:13
Speaker 2: Year, because Texas entered the twenty twenty five season coming
26:16
Speaker 2: off of back to back College Football Playoff semi final
26:19
Speaker 2: appearances and consecutive Top five ap finishes. Now that's something
26:23
Speaker 2: that the school had not done since eight and nine.
26:27
Speaker 1: But their twenty twenty six fate.
26:28
Speaker 2: Got left in the hands of the College Football Playoff
26:31
Speaker 2: Committee because of their loss to Florida and that they
26:34
Speaker 2: needed over time to beat both Kentucky and Mississippi State.
26:38
Speaker 1: They got left out rightfully.
26:40
Speaker 2: So, by the way, here's where it enters a little
26:42
Speaker 2: bit of double talk from the head coach, Steve Sirkeisei.
26:44
Speaker 2: Out of one side of the mouth, he's saying that
26:47
Speaker 2: the college Football Playoff Committee are to be blamed for
26:49
Speaker 2: Texas's exclusion. Now on the other side, he then fired
26:53
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator Pete Kiwatowski that was the architect of
26:56
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season, in which will Howard, Carson Back,
27:00
Speaker 2: Diego Pavia, sam Levitt, Marcel Reed, and Gunner Stockton all quarterbacks.
27:06
Speaker 2: They were held to a combined three touchdowns and ten interceptions.
27:11
Speaker 1: So how is he to blame?
27:12
Speaker 2: Sark actually wanted the committee to believe that Texas was
27:16
Speaker 2: a championship contender as constructed, but clearly he didn't believe
27:20
Speaker 2: so himself. So the real question right now is whether
27:24
Speaker 2: Sark believes in arch Manning in private the way that
27:27
Speaker 2: he believes in him in public. I think it's that.
27:29
Speaker 1: Time we talk about quinn Ewers.
27:32
Speaker 2: Let's get this out of the way first. Quinn Ewers,
27:35
Speaker 2: he was not perfect, but he could be brilliant and
27:39
Speaker 2: he could also make you wonder if the WiFi went
27:41
Speaker 2: out between his helmet and Sarks had set. But when
27:44
Speaker 2: Ewers was right, oh, Texas looked like Texas again and
27:48
Speaker 2: that they could win a national championship. Now go back
27:50
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three. Ewers threw for thirty four hundred
27:53
Speaker 2: and seventy nine yards, sixty nine percent completions, and twenty
27:57
Speaker 2: two touchdowns to just six interceptions. He went to Alabama
28:01
Speaker 2: and one won the Big Twelve Championship game MVP, and
28:04
Speaker 2: then took Texas to the College Football Playoff and then
28:08
Speaker 2: they were thirteen yards away from stealing a game at
28:11
Speaker 2: the end that they ultimately lost thirty seven to thirty one.
28:15
Speaker 2: But that night that changed the way people talked about Texas.
28:18
Speaker 2: They went from punchline to problem. Then you go to
28:22
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and they proved that it wasn't a
28:24
Speaker 2: one year flu. Because I always say, if you do
28:26
Speaker 2: it once, it's an accident. You do it twice, you
28:28
Speaker 2: can really do it. Texas in moves to the SEC,
28:31
Speaker 2: and everybody wanted to see if they were ready for
28:34
Speaker 2: grown man football. You know how people talk about the SEC.
28:37
Speaker 2: You'll do that in the Big Twelve. Come down here
28:39
Speaker 2: in the SCC. Let's see what you do well. They
28:41
Speaker 2: went thirteen and three and seven and one in conference play.
28:45
Speaker 2: They reached the SEC title game, finished number four in
28:48
Speaker 2: the a PO PO, and made another College Football Playoff
28:51
Speaker 2: semi final. Viewers still had moments. He finished his Texas
28:55
Speaker 2: career third in program history in passing yards and touchdown passes.
29:00
Speaker 2: But the college football media and a lot of Texas fans, oh,
29:02
Speaker 2: they were looking past yours, and the Ewers dropped any
29:05
Speaker 2: attempt at getting a final year of eligibility and declared
29:09
Speaker 2: for the NFL Draft because everybody was looking forward to
29:12
Speaker 2: the Arch era, like this is gonna bring us multiple championships.
29:16
Speaker 1: He's ready right now, let's talk about the Arch chapter. Hey,
29:20
Speaker 1: who's more popular in Austin? Right now? You are Archoo.
29:24
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five, it attempted to get back to the
29:26
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff with Arch. It wasn't a disaster, but
29:31
Speaker 2: it wasn't a coordination either, because Texas went ten and
29:34
Speaker 2: three and six and two in the SEC and then
29:37
Speaker 2: won the Citrus Bowl, but they missed the College Football
29:39
Speaker 2: Playoff after entering the season with massive expectations where Arch
29:44
Speaker 2: was a prohibitive Heisman Trophy favor. Now, to be fair
29:48
Speaker 2: and honest about Arch, he did outperform Taylor Green and
29:52
Speaker 2: Marcel Reid had to head, you know, late in the season,
29:54
Speaker 2: and he did enough to get a rivalry win over
29:57
Speaker 2: number six Oklahoma, and he with Diego Pavia in a
30:01
Speaker 2: wild shootout over Vanderbilt.
30:03
Speaker 1: But the truth is he wasn't consistent.
30:05
Speaker 2: Was that due to injury, was it offensive line inexperience,
30:09
Speaker 2: their schedule was front loaded. All of that could be true,
30:12
Speaker 2: but heading into twenty twenty six, there are no more excuses.
30:16
Speaker 2: Arches back as a Heisman favorite again, and Texas they're
30:20
Speaker 2: boosting a recruiting hall that two four seven listed as
30:23
Speaker 2: the number two class overall. They were number seven in
30:26
Speaker 2: the composite and number three in Transfer portal rankings, and
30:31
Speaker 2: that class includes high end names like quarterback Diabell, linebacker
30:36
Speaker 2: Tyler Atkinson, Richard Wesley from Sierra Canyon High School, Jermaine Bishop.
30:42
Speaker 2: Now the returning roster, it actually features the best wide
30:46
Speaker 2: receiver combo in the SEC with Ryan Wingo and then
30:50
Speaker 2: Auburn transfer Cam Coleman. But then you had an exodus
30:54
Speaker 2: from what seemed like a stacked running back room, which
30:57
Speaker 2: means that Texas will have to depend on Arizona State
31:00
Speaker 2: transfer were Leak Brown and Hollywood Smothers from NC State. Now,
31:04
Speaker 2: both of them have a big reputation for making plays
31:07
Speaker 2: in the open field.
31:08
Speaker 1: If Texas can.
31:09
Speaker 2: Open up holes against SEC defensive lines, they should be
31:13
Speaker 2: okay though, But there are no excuses on offense. This
31:17
Speaker 2: offense has to show up this year and arch has
31:20
Speaker 2: to show up now. The biggest risk though, and the
31:22
Speaker 2: biggest unknown, it's on defense. Because they moved on from
31:26
Speaker 2: Pete Kiwi Tawski after five seasons, Will mush champions a
31:29
Speaker 2: new defensive coordinator, and Sark called Muschamp one of the
31:33
Speaker 2: best defensive minds that he's ever coached against. Look at
31:36
Speaker 2: mush Champ's history though he's had a history at Texas
31:39
Speaker 2: from his stints at defensive coordinator under mac Brown. He
31:43
Speaker 2: is going to have to find a way to harness
31:47
Speaker 2: the first round talent that he has in Colin Simmons
31:50
Speaker 2: and ty Anthony Smith, as well as try to get
31:53
Speaker 2: the most out of their safety Jelani McDonald. Because the
31:57
Speaker 2: defense was the reason that the twenty three and the
32:00
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four team had championship bones. That gave Sark something,
32:04
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley that he would sell Beach Trump property in
32:07
Speaker 2: Norman to have a defense, and that could keep the
32:11
Speaker 2: quarterback away from needing to be a superman every single Saturday.
32:15
Speaker 2: But let's be real, though, changing defensive coordinators after building
32:19
Speaker 2: a playoff caliber defense is like changing barbers before your wedding.
32:23
Speaker 1: Maybe the new guy is the league, maybe he gives
32:26
Speaker 1: you the cleanest cut of your life.
32:27
Speaker 2: But buddy, if he pushes that line back, pushing that
32:31
Speaker 2: taper back too far, everybody's gonna notice and they're gonna
32:34
Speaker 2: be talking about it forever. So the pressure is absolutely
32:37
Speaker 2: on Sark this year, and pressure is something that he
32:39
Speaker 2: seems to have welcomed in his host USC career because
32:43
Speaker 2: now he's out here criticizing anybody and everybody, from old
32:47
Speaker 2: missus academic practices to the college football Playoff selection committee
32:52
Speaker 2: and daring his own team to cash all the checks
32:56
Speaker 2: that he's been writing with his mouth.
32:57
Speaker 1: With all of that.
32:58
Speaker 2: Said, this is not a hot seat conversation. This is
33:02
Speaker 2: a reputation conversation because pressure doesn't always mean that your
33:05
Speaker 2: job is on the line. Sometimes it just means that
33:08
Speaker 2: your juice is on the line, and right now, Texas
33:11
Speaker 2: has the juice. Sark has already done one of the
33:14
Speaker 2: hardest parts. He has made Texas matter again. Now he
33:17
Speaker 2: has to do the harder part. He has to make
33:19
Speaker 2: Texas finish. But the truth about Texas under Steve Sarkizian
33:24
Speaker 2: is this. The Longhorns are back in the national championship conversation.
33:27
Speaker 2: But can conversations then turn into trophies? Let that sink
33:31
Speaker 2: in Longhorn Nation.
33:33
Speaker 1: We're bad. Thank you guys for watching.
33:39
Speaker 2: Make sure that you like, share, subscribe, get notifications, and
33:43
Speaker 2: tell a friend about the show and hop in them comments.
33:46
Speaker 2: Tell me, is Texas going to win a national championship
33:50
Speaker 2: under sark?
33:54
Speaker 1: As a college football fan?
33:56
Speaker 2: These are the top ten NFL games that you need
34:00
Speaker 2: to watch based upon everything that happened in college football.
34:04
Speaker 2: Game number one, we need to watch Caleb Downs and
34:08
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys against the Giants. You get that September thirteenth,
34:13
Speaker 2: January third, and the rest of the kids' career because
34:17
Speaker 2: the Giants had two picks ahead of the Cowboys and
34:20
Speaker 2: they went with his teammate Rvel Rees and Miami offensive
34:24
Speaker 2: tackle Francis Maligoa. Now, Downs was considered by many to
34:29
Speaker 2: be the best college football player over the last two years.
34:32
Speaker 2: But safeties don't have the positional value of a linebacker
34:35
Speaker 2: or even an offensive tackle. So will Downs torture the
34:39
Speaker 2: Giants for the next decade?
34:41
Speaker 1: That's the question.
34:42
Speaker 2: Game number two, October fourth, Rams at the Eagles. So
34:48
Speaker 2: the Rams they picked Ty Simpson thirteenth overall instead of
34:52
Speaker 2: adding a weapon to for Matthew Stafford to play with
34:56
Speaker 2: and be available right now? Well who at the Eagles
35:00
Speaker 2: draft they drafted McKay lemon and he was the next
35:03
Speaker 2: wide receiver drafted at number twenty by Philadelphia, So the
35:07
Speaker 2: Rams could have got some help then, But will McKay
35:10
Speaker 2: lemon tortured them?
35:12
Speaker 1: Question?
35:13
Speaker 2: Game number three, Brown's at Titans October twenty fifth sounds
35:20
Speaker 2: riveting baked upon the records from last year, But the
35:24
Speaker 2: Titans they picked the wide receiver Cardinell Tate from Ohio
35:28
Speaker 2: State number four overall, and the Browns they grabbed Casey
35:32
Speaker 2: Conception on wide receiver from Texas A and M at
35:35
Speaker 2: number twenty four. And this is a great chance for
35:38
Speaker 2: both players to really set the tone for justifying where
35:41
Speaker 2: they were drafted. Plus me oh, I like Casey Conception
35:45
Speaker 2: on more than Carnell Tate. So don't sleep on the
35:48
Speaker 2: Browns second round wide receiver Denzel Boston either, because everybody's
35:52
Speaker 2: gonna have those eyes on that game.
35:54
Speaker 1: Gotta watch that.
35:57
Speaker 2: Next game up December sixth, Eagles at Cardinals. Now, if
36:03
Speaker 2: Carson Beck, Miami wide receiver by way of the Georgia Bulldogs,
36:08
Speaker 2: ends up getting a shot to start for the Arizona Cardinals,
36:11
Speaker 2: it will likely be in the later half of the season. Now,
36:14
Speaker 2: the Eagles come to town with a defense that has
36:17
Speaker 2: Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter, Keeley Ringo, and Mondan
36:24
Speaker 2: Junior as well, and they were all teammates of Carson
36:28
Speaker 2: Beck at some point in time on the Georgia roster.
36:31
Speaker 2: So how do they handle going against Carson Beck if
36:34
Speaker 2: that does happen. We got the Raiders at the Jets,
36:39
Speaker 2: and that's November first, because it's not just an opportunity
36:43
Speaker 2: for fans to potentially see the number one pick Fernando
36:46
Speaker 2: Mendoza versus the number two pick in David Bailey, the
36:50
Speaker 2: defensive being out of Texas Tech, it's really a West
36:53
Speaker 2: Coast rivalry reunion because before Mendoza was at Indiana, he
36:58
Speaker 2: was at Cal and before David Bailey was at Texas Tech,
37:02
Speaker 2: he was at the Arrival Stanford and Bailey went zero
37:05
Speaker 2: to two against Mendoza in college and never recorded a sack.
37:09
Speaker 2: Can't he get one in the league though. Now this
37:13
Speaker 2: is a game that I'm excited about seeing too. This
37:15
Speaker 2: is the Raiders at the Saints on September twenty fifth.
37:20
Speaker 2: Because the Raiders they drafted not one, but two safeties
37:23
Speaker 2: out of the University of Arizona. You had Genesis Smith
37:27
Speaker 2: and Dalton Johnson. Now the Saints they used their first
37:30
Speaker 2: round pick on a wide receiver out of Arizona State
37:33
Speaker 2: in Jordan Tyson.
37:35
Speaker 1: That's literally a built in rivalry.
37:38
Speaker 2: But the game is also going to feature Tennessee dB
37:41
Speaker 2: Jermal McCoy, who, unlike Tyson, he got severely punished in
37:45
Speaker 2: the draft for being injury prone. Now he slipped into
37:48
Speaker 2: the fourth round while a lot of people had, you know,
37:51
Speaker 2: a first round grade on the kid. So that's gonna
37:53
Speaker 2: be interesting too. Another game that I'm excited about. Early
37:57
Speaker 2: in the season, we got the Panthers hosting the Chicago Bears.
38:03
Speaker 2: Now for real college football siccos Iowa was Logan Jones.
38:07
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty five Remington Trophy winner who goes to
38:11
Speaker 2: the best center in college football. He goes up against
38:14
Speaker 2: Texas Texas Lee Hunter, who's a massive human at sixty three,
38:18
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty pounds, and we're gonna see a
38:22
Speaker 2: All American versus an All American in that game. So
38:26
Speaker 2: that is very exciting as well. And that's for the
38:28
Speaker 2: college football sikos who liked the interior play. The Browns
38:33
Speaker 2: make the list again. So we got the Cleveland Browns
38:36
Speaker 2: at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September twentieth. Now, this
38:41
Speaker 2: is where we get a chance to see in the
38:42
Speaker 2: state of Florida again, Ruben Bain doing work and he
38:46
Speaker 2: goes against the first offensive lineman off the board in Utah,
38:50
Speaker 2: Spencer Finoh, who is already juicy enough without considering the
38:55
Speaker 2: fact that the Browns passed on Bain's Miami teammate Francis
38:59
Speaker 2: Male goa to take fan out, So maybe, you know,
39:04
Speaker 2: Ruben Bain wants to get a little bit of, you know,
39:07
Speaker 2: justice for his boy. That's an interesting game. Arizona Cardinals
39:12
Speaker 2: versus the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks. We
39:16
Speaker 2: get that game now once but twice September twentieth and
39:19
Speaker 2: November to eighth. Jeremiah Love and his back court mate
39:24
Speaker 2: and Jdarien Price, both that Notre Dame, both win in
39:28
Speaker 2: the first round, and both running backs, so do not
39:32
Speaker 2: be surprised, though for all the Jeremiah Love lovers, do
39:37
Speaker 2: not be surprised if Price looks better earlier in his
39:40
Speaker 2: career due to the fact that the Super Bowl champions
39:44
Speaker 2: surrounding cast is significantly better than what they have in Arizona.
39:50
Speaker 2: So it could be interesting if Jeremiah Love's backup ends
39:54
Speaker 2: up having a better career than him throughout it. And
39:57
Speaker 2: they're in the same division, so they will be he
40:00
Speaker 2: judged against each other. Another thing that we gotta watch.
40:02
Speaker 2: We gotta watch every single Kansas City Chiefs game. And
40:06
Speaker 2: no it's not because of Patrick Mahomes. It is because
40:09
Speaker 2: of a bunch of different reasons. We got Mansour Delaney,
40:13
Speaker 2: who LSU defensive back and he was picked sixth overall
40:18
Speaker 2: after the Chiefs traded with the Browns to move up
40:21
Speaker 2: three spots. Okay, so the Browns they turned the sixth
40:25
Speaker 2: pick into Spencer for Note and Florida tackle Austin Barber
40:31
Speaker 2: at the eighty six pick. And then they got two
40:34
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven fourth round picks as well, So you
40:38
Speaker 2: got six other cornerbacks that have been drafted in the
40:41
Speaker 2: top ten since twenty twenty one, and five of them
40:44
Speaker 2: at May Pro Bowls and the other one is Travis Hunter.
40:48
Speaker 2: And Delaney is going to be expected to be a
40:51
Speaker 2: star on one of the teams that is going to
40:53
Speaker 2: have the most pressure on it and has done well
40:56
Speaker 2: with DB's, which is the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, he's
40:59
Speaker 2: gonna you know, Courtland Sutton, Jalen Waddle, and Troy Franklin
41:06
Speaker 2: over there in Denver. So it is going to be
41:08
Speaker 2: very very interesting. So I'm excited about that. And those
41:12
Speaker 2: are the ten games that you have to watch this
41:16
Speaker 2: NFL season as somebody who loves college football to their core,
