  Speaker 2: The Badgers.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I actually kind of like that fit man.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Phil Longo runs that offense where it's just kind of you know, snapping and throw it, don't even think.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's new.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you won't think of Wisconsin.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You won't think out there, man.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, too cold to think.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I like it, though.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Everybody gets to get ready for, for you know DJ.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: DJ.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the QB.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He's visiting this weekend.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I hope he picks a different number than five, right?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Nobody needs to wear five a quarterback ever again.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I agree I agree, I think he's going to be the QB.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Cam Ward or Will Howard seems like the guy down in Miami.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: One of the two.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: If they have both in town either yesterday or the past couple of days, I think they could get either one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Cam Ward apparently is is pretty pricey man Getting a lot of different, different rumor figures out there on the internet.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Well, let Miami do that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean there was talk that he may come visit Florida State at the end of the week, but I don't.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to do that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Dj is definitely coming this weekend on his official visit.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Pending on what you read, man, he may or may not leave.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It's just like the game we're doing now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You know this guy that we saw on.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Dr Pepper commercial just a few years back.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and just was a big time recruit Clemson.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Right, right, yeah, yeah, cross the country Played at.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Oregon State.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Dude, it's like a journeyman quarterback in the NFL.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It just said, hey, this guy was the first round draft pig.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's all right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Game is so different?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Just for it's.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: In the last five years so much has changed.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Right, I think you know well, this is also.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: This is also a result of Oregon State kind of just falling apart as a program, right, yeah, they lost their kid like quarterback.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kid like.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And you know DJ still does have that potential to test the draft waters.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So that's, it's nothing set in stone.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But I mean, if Florida State's adding a quarterback this year, it's going to be DJ.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: All right, I like it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think that's what they need.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I think they need to get one year.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Let him wear number two, play QB.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Let's do something out there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Don't even change the offense man, you don't even change the offense.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's perfectly capable of design QB runs.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He's a little more durable than Travis, but I don't know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: What about?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: What else is going on in the transfer portal of some other positions that aren't the quarterback?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Big news Baby shape Marvin Jones Jr jumped in from Georgia.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I guess the assumption would obviously be that he's going to go to FSU.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I know that the shade tree Papa Jones has been tweeting for the past couple months cryptic stuff About you know the portal and stuff like that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So maybe they're my, I don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a slam dunk that he goes to Florida State.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, I know they they want to add a couple defensive ends and stuff, but you know I'm sure he's gonna have his suitors so we'll see.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But that's definitely something to watch.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he would definitely be another Edge player.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You can maybe grow him into a traditional defensive end, yeah, but his he's another kid that hasn't put all of that potential on field yet.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You know he 12 tackles or something this season for Georgia.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Well, he flashed a little bit right.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's in a long lot.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you have a line now, jermaine Johnson to Jared verse.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a bit of a reputation coming in and developed, and put in the first round.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So you know where I think that's got a factor in for him.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I know that he doesn't want to play in that shadow and it's a large shadow in it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's a large shadow from a big tree.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Right, I mean they dig him.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Called him shade tree.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I can't really ever think of any time that that you know a football player, hall of Fame player at a school has had a son come to that school and Live up to his dad's billing right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I Just, you know, it's it like you said, it's a big, it's a big shadow.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: But even if he just comes here and makes honorable mention, all conference one year to that's still, you know, still productive.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be what he was billed coming out of high school.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But you know, now you're taking him from the transfer portal so you're not Necessarily paying what Georgia paid to get him out of high school, hypothetically speaking, not, you know, I have no insight in his particular recruitment or anything like that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But big name to watch a Couple other guys, that cow canard guy from Georgia Tech grad transfer, kind of.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: You know they're not in love with any defensive in prospects, the war they were with Jared verse, jermaine Johnson, so we'll see.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I mean I know they're gonna add a couple, but I Don't know that they're gonna be big time, big time names to a lot of people.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, what about the roster in terms of guys jumping in the?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: portal.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you saw Malcolm Ray, yeah, and now it's.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: He was jumping in the poor.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's actually officially done it yet or not.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That was probably the biggest one.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: You've seen a couple other guys, you know, like the backup kicker hopped in there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I you know, we'll see.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know they want to bring Malcolm Ray back.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: They would like to keep him If possible, yeah he really improved, yeah, and he's experienced.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: He's.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that's been through a lot.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, guy that he would like to have that in the locker room.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: There's some talk that Dennis Briggs may be Pursuing a seventh year and trying to come back.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, for the Knowles next year.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: We'll see how that that shakes out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: She should get another year.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: since the committee left them out, they should get everybody Well he's had a man he's had, you know, there's about two and a half years there where he just couldn't buy break in terms of health.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So that would be huge getting him back Really would.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But right now it's, you know, a transfer to early.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Signing day is next week.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That's where a big focus is from the coaching staff.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah Right, like who's coaching the team right now?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's probably a bunch of.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Nicoliri and GAs.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I mean if they're even doing anything outside of just, you know, meetings.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I mean the season ended when they didn't get announced for the playoff.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: That's the sad part about it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I think honestly the season ended for every program besides the four teams that were announced.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That's how it is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Now it's the off season, while you still have the climax of your season, or waiting it's supposed to be.

  Speaker 1: They were big time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Right, right, the Orange Bowl was actually like a I mean other than this situation where you get snubbed.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: This would be awesome.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You know, they kind of drew the shit into the stick.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: The Orange Bowl they got a team that knew that they were one of the best four and the other one that proved a chance.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Right, they earned a chance to prove they were the best four, right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think they should play man, screw it, I wouldn't have a problem with the airfield.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It's an underclassmen jamboree man.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: There's many people that Florida State won't have in this game.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: That made huge impact on this team.
• 9:44
