- 5:09Speaker 3: You would have thought, I don't know, like we were
- 5:12Speaker 3: like the most special thing to come out of Olympic.
- 5:13Speaker 3: It feels weird saying that, but like that's how they
- 5:15Speaker 3: treated us.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I wish we could admit we walk. Everyone talks about
- 5:18Speaker 2: the just the town, like the area, like the college town,
- 5:21Speaker 2: the vibe. It is Friday night Lights. You can imagine
- 5:23Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights on steroids, Friday Night Lights as a
- 5:26Speaker 2: professional football team that is Texas Tech.
- 5:29Speaker 3: And you can you know that because during you'll see
- 5:31Speaker 3: in this podcast there's a big uproar about Texas Tech
- 5:35Speaker 3: playing on a Friday night I guess it was it Houston, correct. Yeah,
- 5:38Speaker 3: And there's a bit of an internal battle taking place
- 5:44Speaker 3: taking place, and mcguarth's response to it just tells you
- 5:47Speaker 3: everything you didn't know about what Friday Night Lights means
- 5:49Speaker 3: to Texas.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Dude, he is, he is Texas high school football. He is,
- 5:54Speaker 2: and I mean he's a legend. Right. What was this?
- 5:58Speaker 2: The school never won a state championship. Ever, he comes
- 6:02Speaker 2: in there, boom, get someone sixteen and oh undefeated season.
- 6:06Speaker 2: You just be hey, listen, hand up. Being a guy
- 6:08Speaker 2: who's been through a undeated season, there's nothing like it.
- 6:11Speaker 2: There's just there's nothing. There's nothing. What was the barbecue
- 6:13Speaker 2: spot Eddie May's Emmys the way it was gas, Like,
- 6:18Speaker 2: listen to me, Listen to me, it was gas. There's
- 6:22Speaker 2: a fat butt in here, not a butt. Not a butt, however,
- 6:27Speaker 2: and oh, imagine yourself just in a small town and
- 6:32Speaker 2: you get that that a plus taste of this barbecue
- 6:36Speaker 2: cuisine that blows your mind because you're used to fast food.
- 6:39Speaker 2: You're used to, you know, shopping at Walmart. No shots
- 6:42Speaker 2: at Walmart. These feelings of anybody who's been in a
- 6:45Speaker 2: small town and they get their first taste of something
- 6:46Speaker 2: for the first time. To them, this godlike food is
- 6:50Speaker 2: Emmy Mays right, Like they're all so excited about it.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Being a kid, it was gas. But I'm trying to
- 6:58Speaker 2: encapsulate the entire feeling around Texas Tech, like the high
- 7:02Speaker 2: school vibe, the Friday night lights vive, the coaches, the
- 7:05Speaker 2: entire staff, people coming in and out, the boosters watching practice.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It is like they love West Texas football. They love
- 7:14Speaker 2: West Texas football. There is no other footballer than West
- 7:16Speaker 2: Texas football. Yeah, dude, then listen. I know we're lazing
- 7:21Speaker 2: quite a bit right now, but Joe's energy when he's
- 7:24Speaker 2: with us. Every time he would walk away from a moment,
- 7:27Speaker 2: there'd be someone reassuring us that this is him every
- 7:30Speaker 2: single day, which you take it at face value, it
- 7:33Speaker 2: is what it is. The minute these players, like we
- 7:35Speaker 2: went this podcast is an hour and forty five minutes
- 7:37Speaker 2: with them, We're supposed to be just an hour forty
- 7:38Speaker 2: five to an hour. The minute this podcast ends, and
- 7:41Speaker 2: these players are essentially waiting outside to come into their
- 7:44Speaker 2: team being to start their actual day focus. Towards the
- 7:47Speaker 2: ANAS Championship, his energy hit a complete new level. He
- 7:50Speaker 2: was so excited to you know how coaches are when
- 7:53Speaker 2: you go in the recruiting visits and they got their
- 7:55Speaker 2: hands all over to their feeling, yeah you're doing.
- 7:58Speaker 3: You're uncomfortable, but they're like so you're like, I guess
- 8:00Speaker 3: this is like okay, but you yeah, I tell you
- 8:03Speaker 3: what we get it. Yeah, exactly. He brought up two
- 8:07Speaker 3: behemoth individuals and I thought these were, you know, your
- 8:10Speaker 3: boys and game of throws ring. I thought, there's a
- 8:11Speaker 3: couple of the giants from North of the Wall. These
- 8:14Speaker 3: dudes nimble feet during the day, both of them tackles,
- 8:18Speaker 3: left tackle, right tackle.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Both of them.
- 8:19Speaker 3: I'm looking up at, not figuratively, literally looking up at
- 8:23Speaker 3: and I am by every definition of a tackle. Very
- 8:26Speaker 3: tall tackle in the NFL is always the tallest guy.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Ex every when Dennis Kelly's on my team. These guys
- 8:31Speaker 3: were towering over me. Get him out in the field.
- 8:33Speaker 3: They're moving around, a couple of dancing bears, very receptive,
- 8:36Speaker 3: very excited about the opportunity for me, Like, hey, I
- 8:39Speaker 3: see what you're doing here, maybe change this one or
- 8:41Speaker 3: two things up. And they were like they were all
- 8:43Speaker 3: about it, like very coachable, no ego, and it was
- 8:46Speaker 3: just it was such a fun practice to completely dive into.
- 8:49Speaker 3: I'm in a dead sweat. I'm in a dead sweat.
- 8:51Speaker 3: I don't even know where Will is at during the practice.
- 8:53Speaker 3: And then I find out later on social media I
- 8:54Speaker 3: see his highlights of I'm just drinking water. Like we
- 8:56Speaker 3: had two completely different practices take place. Then, dude, when
- 9:01Speaker 3: we get out to practice and Joey, I'm like, hey, like,
- 9:03Speaker 3: what's the do you want to stay on the sidline?
- 9:04Speaker 3: And he goes, go do whatever you want. I'm like,
- 9:06Speaker 3: so I can go in the middle right here. He's
- 9:08Speaker 3: like absolutely, walk out there. I see him in the
- 9:10Speaker 3: pennies and the walk through. I'm like, let me just
- 9:14Speaker 3: have a little fun today and they were all about it. Man,
- 9:17Speaker 3: it was so much fun.
- 9:18Speaker 2: And we got to talk to Soresby. What a guy
- 9:22Speaker 2: to great guy.
- 9:25Speaker 3: You can just tell he's he's got a bit of
- 9:26Speaker 3: a Josh Allen or to him, he's got he's got
- 9:30Speaker 3: the juice, he's got something. He's got the juice, he's
- 9:32Speaker 3: got something taking place. I see that nil money got
- 9:34Speaker 3: you some veneers. You got tops in bottom. So he's
- 9:37Speaker 3: gotta get right, got to take care of yourself if
- 9:40Speaker 3: we can give it to the world. Do you did
- 9:42Speaker 3: make a comment to me individually as we were leaving
- 9:46Speaker 3: the team meeting room you I did see a clip
- 9:49Speaker 3: of you squatting down next him, and I believe the
- 9:51Speaker 3: direct quote was take this for what you will. However,
- 9:55Speaker 3: I think it's this type of year for you. Yes,
- 9:59Speaker 3: do you want to expand on that? Now, let me
- 10:01Speaker 3: just tell you how Will works. Will we'll say something,
- 10:04Speaker 3: so Will said something that he goes. I think Soresby's
- 10:06Speaker 3: gonna win.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I think you know, time out. I didn't say it
- 10:08Speaker 2: like that. You go, you go.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I'm i gotta work through this, he said. I don't
- 10:11Speaker 3: want to be a prisoner of the moment. I don't
- 10:13Speaker 3: want to be a prisoner of the moment. I got
- 10:15Speaker 3: to look into a little bit more. But I think
- 10:16Speaker 3: sores be the Heisman. I go, that's not what you think.
- 10:19Speaker 3: You've made the decision in your head that Soresby is
- 10:21Speaker 3: now going to win the Heisman. Now, it's all about
- 10:22Speaker 3: finding the information online for you to be like, this
- 10:25Speaker 3: is why Soby's going to win the Heisman.
- 10:27Speaker 2: I said, that's bullshit. Because next week will be at
- 10:29Speaker 2: Notre Dame. I'll get to get my hands on CJ Carr.
- 10:31Speaker 3: CJ Carr. I believe he's one of the front runners
- 10:33Speaker 3: this year. Correct that he's top three. He is the
- 10:35Speaker 3: front runner. He's Nember one, numero uno. But something about
- 10:39Speaker 3: that little fae with a little little bit of lettuce
- 10:41Speaker 3: in the bag that veneers Will. Hey, I will swooning
- 10:44Speaker 3: over this boy.
- 10:47Speaker 4: The super Bowl and will Will Do you remember his
- 10:51Speaker 4: response when you said when you went in and whispered
- 10:53Speaker 4: to him like, hey, this is your heisman year, do
- 10:55Speaker 4: you remember the first thing he said?
- 10:57Speaker 2: I was just staring at him.
- 10:58Speaker 4: It's the answer you want, he says, And I'm gonna
- 11:01Speaker 4: win it because of this guy right here, the receiver
- 11:03Speaker 4: right now, to wasn't about sowars be at all. Then
- 11:06Speaker 4: make it about himself, immediately points to the team. That's
- 11:08Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
- 11:09Speaker 2: He's got, he's got this, he's got the sauce, he's
- 11:13Speaker 2: got the makeup you want, He's got whatever it is,
- 11:17Speaker 2: he's got it. And then when you sit and everybody's
- 11:19Speaker 2: gonna listen to this Coach McGuire interview. But the way
- 11:22Speaker 2: Coach McGuire talks about his staff, in particular his son,
- 11:25Speaker 2: like putting these his offensive minds on the white board
- 11:28Speaker 2: with anybody knowing that uh, Texas Tech, they score like
- 11:32Speaker 2: they score points, they put up points, and knowing that
- 11:35Speaker 2: sores be coming from Cincinnati is now in this offense
- 11:38Speaker 2: and the intangibles I see with this boy, knowing that
- 11:41Speaker 2: he's going in with this staff that McGuire is high on,
- 11:44Speaker 2: and the way Texas Tech has bought into their program.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I'm just seeing this. This is a magic that might
- 11:51Speaker 2: take place this year. Just don't be surprised.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Don't be surprised. Doesn't give you any pause at all.
- 11:56Speaker 3: And there are a lot of Texas Tech fans watching
- 11:58Speaker 3: this podcast right now asking a question, does it give
- 12:02Speaker 3: you any pause that they're in the Big twelve. No,
- 12:05Speaker 3: I think that's better the level of competition. About the
- 12:08Speaker 3: level of competitions, I'm thinking the juice Gett like, if
- 12:11Speaker 3: you want to if I don't want to bring it
- 12:12Speaker 3: back to Michigan.
- 12:13Speaker 2: But everyone was really hot on Arizona. They're in the
- 12:15Speaker 2: Big twelve, right, and then we saw.
- 12:18Speaker 3: We saw that happen, and so you just show no
- 12:19Speaker 3: level of competitions. How I'm just saying, that's kind of
- 12:23Speaker 3: the conversation we had with j always, like, how do
- 12:24Speaker 3: you feel about you know, big ten sec. Everybody else
- 12:28Speaker 3: kind of vibes Michigan or not Michigan Texas, Texas in
- 12:31Speaker 3: the spot to where they have to.
- 12:33Speaker 2: They got to win in the college football playoff. Yeah,
- 12:36Speaker 2: But as far as like playing and the numbers this
- 12:38Speaker 2: kid could put up, I'm saying he's going to be
- 12:41Speaker 2: in the conversation the entire year seeing this individual, his presence,
- 12:45Speaker 2: the way he responded to you about the wide receiver,
- 12:48Speaker 2: his unique selflessness that he kind of came off as
- 12:52Speaker 2: he was talking to us, where it's not about me,
- 12:53Speaker 2: it's about the team. Even that short little stint we had,
- 12:56Speaker 2: plus getting able to see him, being able to see
- 12:58Speaker 2: him in Kansas City when he's running all over the
- 13:01Speaker 2: yard and seeing them pass like terms got up right now,
- 13:06Speaker 2: it's not doing them justice like the kids got it
- 13:09Speaker 2: like he's got. When you go to NCA fourteen and
- 13:12Speaker 2: you make your little creative player, this is what you
- 13:14Speaker 2: want your quarterback to look like, I would you I
- 13:17Speaker 2: would like a couple more inches on him. Yeah, I'll
- 13:20Speaker 2: tell you what. Here's where we to pivot, not to pivot.
- 13:22Speaker 2: You see the clip of Byron Brown and Cam Newton.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesus, Jesus, Like I have buddy, say you want
- 13:29Speaker 3: your quarterback to look because you think a Byron but
- 13:32Speaker 3: he's like a scat, like a little like a small,
- 13:34Speaker 3: little run around quarterback. This dude is like eye to
- 13:37Speaker 3: eye with Cam Newton. And he's got this white, tight
- 13:40Speaker 3: like under armor shirt on and you just see rows
- 13:43Speaker 3: of six packs you can wash clothes on his stomach.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Byron Brown, he was, he was the USF quarterback. It's
- 13:49Speaker 3: something about genastics in physique that will just time will pause. Yeah,
- 13:55Speaker 3: when I'm sitting there kind of like dangn.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Rarely Yeah, and it takes you, It just takes your eye.
- 14:02Speaker 2: You see a guy that's just jacked up. Yeah, man, Yeah,
- 14:07Speaker 2: I think to myself, I'm like, that's not it.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Sure, you got to pull up Cam Newton Byron Brown
- 14:11Speaker 3: clip and it's it's he's on the fields, he's warming
- 14:14Speaker 3: up for practice.
- 14:15Speaker 4: To speak more on physique too. Just back to the linebackers.
- 14:17Speaker 4: When I was looking up their names to add their
- 14:19Speaker 4: name card into the vlog, obviously pulled up the Texas
- 14:22Speaker 4: tech roster and each of them are six three, two
- 14:25Speaker 4: forty five the.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Exact same measures. They're like a dealership. There's like printing
- 14:31Speaker 3: them there this yeah, and they got that backer.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Uh Trey White, I believe from San Diego State, thick bro.
- 14:39Speaker 2: He had some good pass rush moves going on when
- 14:41Speaker 2: he was getting after the running back. I thinks, So,
- 14:45Speaker 2: I can't remember, but I was sitting there.
- 14:48Speaker 3: They were doing like blitz one on ones is a
- 14:50Speaker 3: really unique drill where like you basically put the offense
- 14:53Speaker 3: line out there for slaughter and these linebackers come from
- 14:55Speaker 3: like cote yards away from like the slot and just
- 14:58Speaker 3: rush and it's like, yeah, it looks fucking terrifying, dude.
- 15:01Speaker 3: But I'm sitting there with like some of the dbs,
- 15:03Speaker 3: some of the linebackers, and I might kind of give
- 15:06Speaker 3: them them ship because they're like they're getting beat. A
- 15:08Speaker 3: few times, I'm like, bro, you gotta do this, Like
- 15:10Speaker 3: there's just so coachable. I was like, bro, once he
- 15:12Speaker 3: switches like flips his hips. If you have the distance,
- 15:14Speaker 3: like just go back inside. And he did that the

- 15:49Speaker 2: sixty six this dude is. He is a big built cat.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Look at him. Yeah that's a quarterback. Yeah that's how
- 15:57Speaker 2: that's he's on the heisman. He's not your number two.
- 15:59Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Prisoner moment. This is where the
- 16:01Speaker 2: pause comes in. So we talked about how selfless sowars
- 16:04Speaker 2: Bey is. We're saying all these things that we were like,
- 16:07Speaker 2: our judgment says, he's this. Yeah, and then my pause
- 16:11Speaker 2: comes in, like did he get us? Is that actually him?
- 16:15Speaker 2: Let me just sit back watch this year unfold. Here's
- 16:17Speaker 2: what my instinct tells me. But now you got to
- 16:20Speaker 2: because listen to us right now about Texas Tech like
- 16:22Speaker 2: they're about to win the national title coming off that trip.
- 16:24Speaker 3: I mean, of all the trips we've gone on, of
- 16:26Speaker 3: all the teams we've seen so far this year, I
- 16:30Speaker 3: would put Texas Tick.
- 16:31Speaker 2: At the top.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Yeah, right, number one for sure. Nobody close right now,
- 16:35Speaker 3: nobody close right now. Yeah, And that's just teams we've
- 16:37Speaker 3: been able to see in person. Uh, dude, this week
- 16:40Speaker 3: we do get to go to a couple I'll say it,
- 16:43Speaker 3: you can say it. Yeah, we said it in the vlog.
- 16:46Speaker 3: And then our name Miami.
- 16:48Speaker 2: We had some great playoff conversations with coach Maguire around
- 16:52Speaker 2: under Dame in Miami. You guys are gonna enjoy the interview. Ever,
- 16:55Speaker 2: He's awesome.
- 16:57Speaker 5: Taylor about the Big twelve being not for the highs
- 17:00Speaker 5: and I mean Jacob Rodriguez is a linebacker, was sort
- 17:02Speaker 5: of in that conversation for a couple weeks.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Also through touchdown they did everything they could and I
- 17:08Speaker 3: think he but by the time Jacob Rodriguez came on
- 17:10Speaker 3: the scene, was like in that back like back half
- 17:13Speaker 3: back quarter this you want to be though, right for
- 17:16Speaker 3: this heisman potential heisman campaign for a Soresby.
- 17:20Speaker 2: If it's Soresby. They like Texas Tech, they got the
- 17:22Speaker 2: national attention like everybody on it. Soresby was the top
- 17:25Speaker 2: guy coming out in the transfer portal. Now he's at
- 17:27Speaker 2: Texas Tech, so they're gonna have the foundation of like
- 17:30Speaker 2: this national attention, like from the start, not like trying
- 17:32Speaker 2: to get somebody on board and get everybody's eyes on
- 17:35Speaker 2: him towards the end of the year.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Yeah, And just seeing Maguire when Soresby came up and
- 17:40Speaker 3: we just got done meeting those two twin towers that
- 17:43Speaker 3: are on the book ends and they left, and Soresby
- 17:45Speaker 3: and Jordy goes.
- 17:46Speaker 2: He had me nervous. He had he's like rubbing his hands,
- 17:49Speaker 2: have me. He had me a little nerse when he left.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, I don't know where
- 17:52Speaker 2: he's gonna go. But the way he had this like
- 17:54Speaker 2: kid esque excitement about ball. Yeah, Yo, I understand why
- 17:59Speaker 2: guys want to play for you. I fully I watch
- 18:01Speaker 2: you the way you operate with these kids the way
- 18:03Speaker 2: you've operated with us, and it's like it'd be hard
- 18:05Speaker 2: to go to Texas Tech on an official visit and not,
- 18:07Speaker 2: just like you said, be a prisoner of the moment
- 18:10Speaker 2: and just come in on the spot. Come in on
- 18:13Speaker 2: the spot.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Also a very cool thing you're going to hear in
- 18:15Speaker 3: this interview, the conversations revolving around NIL. A lot of
- 18:18Speaker 3: teams kind of sit in the backfold of how much
- 18:20Speaker 3: money they're spending. Texas Tech wil seem to be one
- 18:22Speaker 3: of those teams that have put themselves up like, yeah,
- 18:24Speaker 3: we're paying players, the disruptors, the disruptors. That's really interesting.
- 18:28Speaker 3: But it's also interesting to hear Joey maguire his takes
- 18:31Speaker 3: on how these other schools and all the players and
- 18:35Speaker 3: the agents are manipulating the Nile programs because of Texas Tech.
- 18:39Speaker 3: So it's all, dude, it's all so fascinating, it's all
- 18:43Speaker 3: incredibly fascinating.
- 18:44Speaker 2: All I care about is that Tech fans or who
- 18:46Speaker 2: are tuned in right now, or college football fans. You
- 18:48Speaker 2: see the look on our face when we're talking about
- 18:50Speaker 2: this Texas Tech visit, to know like we had a
- 18:52Speaker 2: great time. Yeah, we had a blast and they a
- 18:55Speaker 2: plus hospitality. Bro. They passed the test. Yeah, how about
- 18:58Speaker 2: they did past the helmet reveal the helmet reveal out
- 19:02Speaker 2: of nowhere where we're on the red helmets? What are

- 19:17Speaker 2: on Jared, like, Jared, do something We're uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah
- 19:20Speaker 2: it was. It was fun. And then listen.
- 19:23Speaker 3: I don't think anybody in the blog watching the blog
- 19:24Speaker 3: would know this, but I said this to will Wad.
- 19:26Speaker 2: They passed the test. They passed the test. And for
- 19:29Speaker 2: new fans that have showed up, like welcome to Bust
- 19:31Speaker 2: with the boys, We're happy you're here. We hope you
- 19:33Speaker 2: stay here forever. We essentially have on athletes. We have
- 19:38Speaker 2: on everybody we have that we literally were we're we
- 19:40Speaker 2: have on locker room bring. We got a couple of
- 19:47Speaker 2: ball players that sit down with people.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Yeah, and speaking of athletes, last week we had Levonte
- 19:52Speaker 3: David on one of he will be the most underrated
- 19:55Speaker 3: defensive player in NFL history, in NFL history, he was
- 19:59Speaker 3: on there. If you want to, I got some of
- 20:00Speaker 3: those things. One thing we've been doing this year for
- 20:02Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth, the year of the audience, is letting
- 20:04Speaker 3: people just talking.
- 20:05Speaker 2: About what people have said about the last episode. Yeah,
- 20:07Speaker 2: I got this episode. You got a couple of callbacks
- 20:09Speaker 2: right here. But I do I just need to address Jared.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I can't have you laugh when I'm in the middle
- 20:14Speaker 2: of my brain trying to connect in fire. I just
- 20:17Speaker 2: I can't have it because my brain takes a second
- 20:20Speaker 2: and sometimes I find my way. Sometimes I don't win.
- 20:23Speaker 2: The laughter is necessary and it takes place and we
- 20:25Speaker 2: all have a good time. I just can't have you
- 20:27Speaker 2: doing it too early because I'll just I'll lose it all.
- 20:30Speaker 2: So when you said we have people on, we have
- 20:31Speaker 2: athletes on. If you're new here, we have athletes on,
- 20:38Speaker 2: it was common and Taylor already started talking. It was over.
- 20:45Speaker 2: But when I paused on the Lavonta, David's gonna go
- 20:48Speaker 2: down as the most underrated, I paused for a second.
- 20:50Speaker 2: I just hear it.
- 20:52Speaker 6: On.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Let the brain just let it dial up and connect.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Real question, like we're gonna put.
- 20:58Speaker 3: A tip marker if A will to look at when
- 21:00Speaker 3: in deep time and I stare at that white sticker
- 21:03Speaker 3: right there that's on the window. I'm always a stare
- 21:05Speaker 3: at in the sirm soul. I feel like I just
- 21:08Speaker 3: stared at the entire time, a lot of eye contact
- 21:11Speaker 3: during the show callbacks.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Go ahead, Well it was just from D L A Z.
- 21:14Speaker 2: On the YouTube comments. Spotify dropped the comments at Levante's
- 21:18Speaker 2: Hall of Fame speech. We need Willie c shout out.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Joel Rick L. Racon said, facts, d don't d don
- 21:24Speaker 2: do will sees Hall of Fame speech. We need a
- 21:27Speaker 2: Levante David shout out. Also facts.
- 21:37Speaker 1: This damn comments.
- 21:38Speaker 2: And I'm like, I guess I'll do the Joel one.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Just repeat back, and he's hurt me with the whole thing,
- 21:43Speaker 2: the whole thing. Yeah, well we need we need to
- 21:47Speaker 2: shout out. The problem is I see Will's callbacks, so
- 21:50Speaker 2: then in my brain I'm thinking I got to read
- 21:51Speaker 2: all these, but now I see we have the same cards.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Hunter Hunter eighty five forty three says, can Taylor be
- 22:01Speaker 2: your Night with Rich Rod at w VU on a
- 22:04Speaker 2: spring tour, would love to go to West Virginia can

- 22:31Speaker 3: would be awesome to go out to Morgantown hang out
- 22:34Speaker 3: rich Rod. Rich Rod verbally abused me my freshman year,
- 22:37Speaker 3: but he also got me to commit, So I would
- 22:39Speaker 3: love some rich Rod Taylor Wan stories.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Yeah. He'd always call me Hollywood law one because it
- 22:43Speaker 2: took me so long to get my stance. We are

- 23:06Speaker 3: the kind of I gotta get your thing, Yeah a moment,
- 23:09Speaker 3: gotta have it. But would love to see rich Rod
- 23:11Speaker 3: get my hands on him.
- 23:12Speaker 2: You know, Taylor during his NFL days, he'd have the
- 23:15Speaker 2: entire offensive line get an introduced and run out, but
- 23:19Speaker 2: the entire offensive line would have to stand there for
- 23:21Speaker 2: when Taylor got introduced, Taylor would come out, run to him.
- 23:24Speaker 2: They'd all do a thing, and then Taylor would lead
- 23:27Speaker 2: the charge. You are so dazed for that, It's crazy.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I'm not out of the tunnel, man.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Guys, we got introduced, we ran out as a group
- 23:44Speaker 3: because we're a line.
- 23:45Speaker 2: That's what we do. It was Ben Jones's idea, you
- 23:47Speaker 2: will we need the footage of that. Oh dude. Every
- 23:53Speaker 2: single time we got introduced. Every single time, We'll just
- 23:55Speaker 2: go right table. The left tackle Taylor would get is
- 23:58Speaker 2: ray Lewis be the I like to call him. And
- 24:01Speaker 2: obviously every player was like, man, you just want to
- 24:03Speaker 2: be ray Lewis. You just want to be the have
- 24:05Speaker 2: some sort of signature whatever. Yeah. Yeah. But we'd be
- 24:08Speaker 2: saying it out there and I'll just be watching it.
- 24:10Speaker 2: And then after a few times I went into row,
- 24:12Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this is set up like this. Every time,
- 24:16Speaker 2: but I'd get in line, you know I have I'd
- 24:19Speaker 2: have my hand down there ready to fucking let's die today.
- 24:24Speaker 3: What's crazy is we played how many games together and
- 24:27Speaker 3: this is the first time I'm hearing about it because
- 24:30Speaker 3: the Hollywood laong comes up. So I'm like, oh, this
- 24:32Speaker 3: is a funny one too. If you enjoyed that, you'll
- 24:34Speaker 3: enjoy a lot of rich Rout's comments about me. This
- 24:37Speaker 3: next one, I'd love for you to read and before
- 24:40Speaker 3: you read it the entire podcast. I thought this when
- 24:43Speaker 3: we saw when we put a clip out, I was like,
- 24:45Speaker 3: you know, based on where we're at with this guy,
- 24:47Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't tweet this, but I felt this as well,
- 24:50Speaker 3: and it warms.
- 24:51Speaker 2: My heart because when we were at Nebraska, Lavonte's contact
- 24:56Speaker 2: is a contact photo yep, I said, profile photo in
- 24:59Speaker 2: the In the he said, I'm sure in my contact
- 25:04Speaker 2: a contact image was Kanye West because I'd always walk
- 25:07Speaker 2: up to him be like, I know you see this right.
- 25:11Speaker 2: We'd all laughed, like we just bust balls. It wasn't
- 25:13Speaker 2: like Kanye was, you know the Kanye now that we

- 26:35Speaker 2: On Harry Potter. Hell yeah, he was against it was he?
- 26:38Speaker 2: I think, I think, yeah, we kind of it's like, yeah,
- 26:41Speaker 2: it's fair.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Yeah, you read about you read the books. The way
- 26:45Speaker 3: they describe snape is not at all with this TV show. Yeah,

- 27:25Speaker 3: Let's get to the guys. It's Michigan Monday. It's National
- 27:28Speaker 3: Championship Monday. University of Michigan is in the National Championship.
- 27:32Speaker 3: We are one and six and National Championship is Yukon
- 27:36Speaker 3: is six and oh yeah, Michigan's favored by I believe
- 27:39Speaker 3: it was seven and a half at one point. I
- 27:40Speaker 3: think that they might drop down to six and a half.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Psychopath coach over at Yukon, but the University of Michigan,
- 27:46Speaker 3: the way that they've been operating under Dusty May. I've
- 27:48Speaker 3: watched him far. I think the closest game they had
- 27:51Speaker 3: three losses this year. The closest game than that is
- 27:54Speaker 3: University of Nebraska. Dude, I know I was looking at
- 27:57Speaker 3: I was like a low key like, I feel like
- 27:58Speaker 3: Nebraska is a lot better than people think. Given how
- 28:01Speaker 3: well Michigan's done and a half, It's okayus hasn't moved
- 28:06Speaker 3: it all, hasn't moved it all. Dana Rolofsky, he's in
- 28:09Speaker 3: the situation right now. There is a contract on his desk.
- 28:12Speaker 3: The contract is this for the bet. If Yukon wins
- 28:16Speaker 3: this game, I will shave my mask my mustache for
- 28:18Speaker 3: the rest of the year. So Jan one of twenty
- 28:21Speaker 3: twenty seven. And Dan's like, Hey, what kind of big
- 28:24Speaker 3: deal is that? What it's like, listen, this is the fabric,
- 28:27Speaker 3: the foundation of who I am as a man is
- 28:28Speaker 3: my mustache. Now, on the other hand, if Michigan wins,
- 28:33Speaker 3: Dana Alofsky has to have not two, but one earring.
- 28:36Speaker 3: I'm gonna choose the left ear and I want that
- 28:38Speaker 3: thing to be a dangly Michigan earring that he has
- 28:41Speaker 3: to wear on TV for the rest of the year.
- 28:43Speaker 2: The rest of the year. He should we he has
- 28:47Speaker 2: not accepted. Should we hit him up and just try
- 28:49Speaker 2: to sort this out? He's probably on first take. I'm
- 28:55Speaker 2: on TV. Do you call him? Would you like me to? Yeah?
- 29:00Speaker 2: You moderate?
- 29:02Speaker 3: Go ahead and moderate wile we're calling because if Orlowski
- 29:05Speaker 3: does this like before, answer.
- 29:07Speaker 7: Wall, We're wall.
- 29:08Speaker 2: We're uh calling Dan.
- 29:10Speaker 3: I'm gonna read this tweet by Blue By ninety, Michigan
- 29:15Speaker 3: has outscored their opponent by one hundred and eight points
- 29:18Speaker 3: in five games the twenty twenty six NCAA Tournament, an
- 29:21Speaker 3: average margin of victory of twenty one point six.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Danio, are you are you on TV? I was just on.
- 29:28Speaker 2: I think I'm done but wearing a commercial break.
- 29:30Speaker 5: I don't know if I have another hit or not?
- 29:32Speaker 2: Okay, should we sort this out? You're live? Yeah? Are you?
- 29:36Speaker 2: Are you putting me on the spot right now? We're no,
- 29:39Speaker 2: we're live. We're recording. Well, yeah, we're recording live. We're
- 29:44Speaker 2: recording live. Yeah. We can figure it out. We can
- 29:48Speaker 2: figure it out. What a T shirt? What a T shirt?
- 29:51Speaker 6: I think that you shaving a mustache is not equivalent
- 29:55Speaker 6: to me piercing my body.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Okay, and piercing when you when you phrase it is
- 30:00Speaker 3: piercing your body and you make it sound like mutilation.
- 30:03Speaker 3: You're getting an earring and you're wearing it for the ear.
- 30:07Speaker 6: But it's a it's a piercing that is going to
- 30:10Speaker 6: be a permanent thing for an extended period of time.
- 30:13Speaker 2: You can finagle the.
- 30:14Speaker 6: Mustache and it's it's a shave, it's not. And you're
- 30:18Speaker 6: not putting a hole into your body.
- 30:20Speaker 2: His body is temple to his body is a temple. Yeah,
- 30:22Speaker 2: here's no tattoo. Would you like me to dye my hair?
- 30:26Speaker 2: What color? What color do you want? Husky blue for
- 30:32Speaker 2: the year?
- 30:35Speaker 6: I mean, if I have to keep the piercing for.
- 30:37Speaker 2: The ear, that is expensive, right, you got you gotta
- 30:44Speaker 2: keep that thing blue, keep it blue blue though the
- 30:47Speaker 2: whole year. Yeah, that won't even be bad.
- 30:51Speaker 5: It's the same things.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'll do that.
- 30:56Speaker 6: WHOA This to just accept everything makes me a little
- 31:02Speaker 6: bit cautious.
- 31:03Speaker 2: That's hey, listen, this is very very much on page
- 31:06Speaker 2: just for the audience. Dan, here's where we're at right now.

- 33:20Speaker 6: And my hairs bleeder the expected winner. There's gotta be
- 33:23Speaker 6: more skin in the game.
- 33:24Speaker 3: You guys are six and oh in national championships. Michigan's
- 33:27Speaker 3: one and six. The last everyone was nineteen to eighty nine.
- 33:30Speaker 6: But you don't win because of what happened in the past.
- 33:33Speaker 2: You guys have been there before, sor of you. You

- 33:41Speaker 6: What was the initial offer on the text to group text?
- 33:44Speaker 2: What was the initial The.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Initial offer was, I shaved my mustache for the entire year,
- 33:47Speaker 3: so I've a baby face.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Will had to go to an all black church together.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I think Dan said he wanted to you. I had
- 34:00Speaker 2: to do something else from like yeah, you just they're
- 34:03Speaker 2: willing to do it. Will's will. Will's not a part
- 34:05Speaker 2: of this. I want Will a part of it. How
- 34:08Speaker 2: can it be busting with the boys and not have
- 34:10Speaker 2: Will have Here's why, because Taylor went to Michigan, and
- 34:14Speaker 2: Taylor loves Michigan, and it's Michigan and Yukon and the
- 34:16Speaker 2: Natty right when Nebraska isn't a Natty and one of
- 34:20Speaker 2: our teams are playing them. I know I didn't want
- 34:22Speaker 2: to say yeah, okay, listen to Ukon's not gonna sniff
- 34:25Speaker 2: the natty ever today in football? Yeah, I thought I
- 34:30Speaker 2: thought we're are we football guys? Are we talking about basketball?
- 34:36Speaker 2: Then think about it.
- 34:37Speaker 5: Let me know, let me know.
- 34:40Speaker 2: I'll let you know. Okay, love you wait.
- 34:47Speaker 5: And all black Pentecostal Church and Taylor I'll.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Be dude for free and I'll host the cookout after. Yeah,
- 34:53Speaker 2: I'll be in the choir cookout after. It's so funny.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I I think these pineapple ribs I have, I thought
- 35:05Speaker 2: applehol open and they would slap. They'd be a comfy
- 35:11Speaker 2: suck your foot in that those ribs. Hey, I think
- 35:14Speaker 2: we have found some common ground. I think the mustache
- 35:19Speaker 2: is worse than the hair. So I was like, all right, no, no, no, no,
- 35:23Speaker 2: no no.
- 35:25Speaker 6: No.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I was telling you on the other side, like if
- 35:27Speaker 2: I'm dan, you know, is the reward of seeing Taylor
- 35:31Speaker 2: without a mustache? Is that worth me risking piercing my
- 35:35Speaker 2: ear for me personally even though it would kill you,
- 35:38Speaker 2: which is like that's that's your own battle. But I'm
- 35:40Speaker 2: thinking you look good, so I wouldn't get any joy
- 35:43Speaker 2: after the first day or two. Beg, well, he's solid.
- 35:46Speaker 2: There's nothing embarrassing at all.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Yeah, Like after a month, I'd kind of just be
- 35:49Speaker 3: used to him and be all right, this is just
- 35:50Speaker 3: me for the next But.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Here's what we could do. Yours is spray paint blue.
- 35:56Speaker 2: His is is clip on and he just does it
- 35:58Speaker 2: once a week and you guys do it on the
- 35:59Speaker 2: one it's a week basis. It just feel that doesn't
- 36:03Speaker 2: feel authentic to me.
- 36:05Speaker 5: Hair for hair, he's got to do it.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Like Taylor was trying to go hair for a hair.
- 36:10Speaker 2: He's like, let's use the head shape. Bet. He was like,
- 36:12Speaker 2: head shaved, Bet, what are we doing?
- 36:15Speaker 3: And the head shaved bets a little played out. I mean,
- 36:17Speaker 3: we've already done it once.
- 36:17Speaker 2: I like to do. I like to j But you're
- 36:19Speaker 2: a bet guy. You always you're all about body. I
- 36:24Speaker 2: think I think we're there. What you guys want I
- 36:27Speaker 2: used to do. I want to go to the varsity games.
- 36:29Speaker 2: When I was a young little jit running around in
- 36:31Speaker 2: middle school, I'd spray paint. I'll spray paint my hair
- 36:35Speaker 2: blue and gold every Friday night. No, I'm with you.
- 36:37Speaker 3: I hear all the things you're saying, like, if this
- 36:39Speaker 3: bet is going to go through, I want it to
- 36:41Speaker 3: be he has a piercing that he has to wear
- 36:44Speaker 3: every day for the rest of the year. First take
- 36:47Speaker 3: get up the hole.
- 36:48Speaker 2: You're down to do the blue hair every day and diet. Yeah,
- 36:51Speaker 2: he seems resistant, right, So I'm thinking, Okay, how do
- 36:54Speaker 2: you still get what you're wanting because he's clearly not
- 36:57Speaker 2: wanting to do it every day on National TV where
- 37:00Speaker 2: he doesn't want to.
- 37:01Speaker 3: But like, that's this now the second I've moved twice
- 37:04Speaker 3: and he hasn't moved once.
- 37:05Speaker 2: What kind of he's on National TV every day? That's great?
- 37:08Speaker 2: Like we do like we were bustling with the boys,
- 37:10Speaker 2: Like we're going vlogs. Everything is about fun, bring the
- 37:14Speaker 2: locker room to life. Make sure you go subscribe. We
- 37:16Speaker 2: have athletes, we have.
- 37:19Speaker 5: Everyone on it.
- 37:20Speaker 2: But I don't know what I'm saying. But for for
- 37:22Speaker 2: anything to for me to change anything at this point,
- 37:24Speaker 2: he's got to come up with something. What if he
- 37:27Speaker 2: came up with that, though, what if he said that,
- 37:29Speaker 2: like the common ground that I'm trying to find at
- 37:31Speaker 2: this point, if.
- 37:31Speaker 3: He came up with that, I would think, Oh, We'll
- 37:32Speaker 3: texted him on the side, I think, right, I mean,
- 37:35Speaker 3: if you just like, how about we both spraypaint our
- 37:37Speaker 3: hair and I do a clip on, Like I would
- 37:39Speaker 3: love for him to come to the table. Hey, I
- 37:41Speaker 3: don't want that bet because I don't want to do
- 37:42Speaker 3: it for all the reasons you just said, which would
- 37:43Speaker 3: be great reasons. Here's a different idea, like I don't
- 37:47Speaker 3: want to be the only one here putting out.
- 37:49Speaker 2: What about this? What about this? What about this? Like Dan,
- 37:50Speaker 2: you want to do a bet, Let's do a bet.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Let's have fun.
- 37:53Speaker 7: Yeah, it seems like he's wanting it to be a
- 37:56Speaker 7: bit more eye for an eye. He thinks the piercing
- 37:59Speaker 7: is way more than the mustache. Taylor, how do you
- 38:01Speaker 7: feel about getting a piercing?
- 38:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do a piercing. He's I've had well these are?
- 38:07Speaker 2: You get the.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Bowl one?
- 38:12Speaker 2: I get a tattoo.
- 38:13Speaker 3: But at this point, like I have so many tattoos,
- 38:15Speaker 3: it kind of wouldn't It wouldn't affect me, Like it'd
- 38:18Speaker 3: be funny, like the the social post would be funny.
- 38:20Speaker 2: And then after that I just be like, would you
- 38:21Speaker 2: do a nose ring? And it'd be I don't want
- 38:25Speaker 2: to do a nose ring.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he's equal for him because he's like he's thirty
- 38:31Speaker 3: four years old about to have three kids for the
- 38:34Speaker 3: nose ring.
- 38:38Speaker 2: But that's just the earring. And his kids are like
- 38:41Speaker 2: older below they oh, Dad, that's funny.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Not that we aren't professionals, but he's just seen as
- 38:45Speaker 3: a professional. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. I think that's
- 38:49Speaker 3: why it's so much funnier.
- 38:50Speaker 2: And mission is gonna win, so like honestly, it's like
- 38:53Speaker 2: whatever he wants to do. Yeah, that's it. That's his point.
- 38:57Speaker 5: Like Michigan his favorite so much that you, hm, he
- 39:00Speaker 5: wants you to.
- 39:01Speaker 2: Give up something more right, But I need Dan. Give
- 39:05Speaker 2: him your next child, not Goldie, not Goldie Husky. Yeah, oh,
- 39:11Speaker 2: you have to name your kid Husky. Could you imagine
- 39:16Speaker 2: bigger girl or Danielle. There's Goldie Husky, right, name your
- 39:21Speaker 2: daughter after her. Dan. Just name your daughter after Dan Danielle. No,
- 39:27Speaker 2: that won't guys, that can't happen. But I don't.
- 39:30Speaker 3: That's tailing. Tale is mad enough that I might be
- 39:32Speaker 3: shaving my mustache. Here's what I was like, Hey, by
- 39:34Speaker 3: the way, now I can change our daughter's name. I
- 39:35Speaker 3: got a counter offer, Like I'm down, I'm down to
- 39:40Speaker 3: do stuff to me. Let's leave, let's leave, leave the
- 39:42Speaker 3: children out of it, right, leave the children out of it.
- 39:46Speaker 2: No JITs.
- 39:48Speaker 5: No bad.
- 39:49Speaker 8: Idea is what if we went up not as like
- 39:52Speaker 8: changing your body. What if he had to plug bust
- 39:53Speaker 8: in every day on TV?
- 39:56Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. I love that. Now
- 39:59Speaker 2: your brain's working, or a brain is working. He starts
- 40:03Speaker 2: off every show.
- 40:04Speaker 3: The first thing he says is, first off, got to
- 40:07Speaker 3: give a big shout to bust with the Jalen Hurts
- 40:09Speaker 3: is the top five quarterback.
- 40:10Speaker 2: And here's why. Yes, well, not that Jalen Hurts.
- 40:14Speaker 5: Both of your names are every time, every day, plug
- 40:18Speaker 5: busting every day.
- 40:19Speaker 2: What would be what would be me then?
- 40:21Speaker 3: Because now Harry No, he says something I have to
- 40:27Speaker 3: look like something. But it's something that he's given is
- 40:32Speaker 3: a nice something. Something he's given is a nice something
- 40:35Speaker 3: to us. I want something you get give me his kid.
- 40:42Speaker 2: You know. I want something. Yeah, it wasn'tthing he loves.
- 40:46Speaker 2: I want something he loves. That's all.
- 40:52Speaker 3: That'd be great for busting with the boys, and I'm
- 40:54Speaker 3: all about busting with the boys. But also I want
- 40:57Speaker 3: of flesh.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I'm saying.
- 40:59Speaker 3: You want to see sample. I want to eat a
- 41:00Speaker 3: little bit too. Yeah, yeah, So I love that.
- 41:04Speaker 2: What would be something good for him for me to do?
- 41:09Speaker 2: And we'll think on it. We'll think we got to
- 41:12Speaker 2: take later. It was yesterday, we're thinking about it. Just
- 41:20Speaker 2: playing out this in every scenario, Michigan's already won.
- 41:23Speaker 3: It's like Michigan's path to the national title game. Beat
- 41:26Speaker 3: Howard by twenty one, beat Saint Louis by twenty three,
- 41:29Speaker 3: beat Alabama by thirteen, beat Tennessee by thirty three, beat
- 41:32Speaker 3: Arizona by eighteen.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Michigan doesn't. Michigan doesn't just beat you. They embarrass you.
- 41:37Speaker 2: How was Howard? That was? That was not a clean
- 41:40Speaker 2: take by me? That was a clean take by Blue right,

- 46:40Speaker 3: Something about having that, Like you buy your burger and
- 46:43Speaker 3: then there's the giant Hinz ketchup relish Mayo mustard and
- 46:49Speaker 3: they're like massive boys too. We're like, oh, I can
- 46:51Speaker 3: really sauce this thing up if I want.
- 46:53Speaker 2: That's a huge one cheese. That's a clean take.
- 46:57Speaker 3: And it hits different when you get the big the
- 46:59Speaker 3: massive sauces clean.
- 47:03Speaker 2: Clean tak What what would you say is your favorite concessions?
- 47:08Speaker 3: Concessions? The last time I had concessions was at that
- 47:10Speaker 3: dreaded Oklahoma game.
- 47:12Speaker 2: Hey it was Yeah, I would put I would probably
- 47:15Speaker 2: put hot dog is up there. Hot Dog's fun. It's
- 47:17Speaker 2: like it's like I would.
- 47:18Speaker 3: Clearly choose a I would clearly choose a burger over
- 47:21Speaker 3: a hot dog if I'm just going out to eat,
- 47:24Speaker 3: But the convenience factor of having it kind of slide
- 47:27Speaker 3: out you can it right there. You can layer it up,
- 47:29Speaker 3: ketch up, mustard, relish. There's all three ingredients you need
- 47:32Speaker 3: on there.
- 47:33Speaker 2: It hits con.
- 47:35Speaker 3: Convenient, like heavens. And then my next one would be
- 47:38Speaker 3: the nachos. They're never as good as you want them
- 47:42Speaker 3: to be, but you always got to get them. The
- 47:44Speaker 3: chips are trash, the cheese don't only taste like nothing.
- 47:48Speaker 3: Adding jalapino, though, is the move. That's what the first
- 47:51Speaker 3: few that you want to eat in the.
- 47:56Speaker 2: Nachos nacho cheese speaking in there, nachos and salsa. But
- 48:03Speaker 2: after you eat the first few, it's like, then you
- 48:04Speaker 2: get them a little rinky dig chips that just have
- 48:06Speaker 2: like the little splattering of the cheese on it. Yeah,
- 48:09Speaker 2: it's like you're kind of just over it, bro, You're like,
- 48:10Speaker 2: what what am I doing with the cheeseburger? Yeah, there's
- 48:15Speaker 2: not enough cheese in the nachos. You put them down,
- 48:18Speaker 2: and then somebody's like, oh, you got the nachos, and
- 48:20Speaker 2: you immediately say, yeah, you can have them if you want,
- 48:22Speaker 2: go ahead and get you some because you know you're
- 48:24Speaker 2: not gonna eat them all. They get boppy, yeah yeah,
- 48:30Speaker 2: and then you cheer and you kind of step on something.
- 48:32Speaker 2: You're like, God, damn it, these fucking nachos. Why do
- 48:35Speaker 2: I get these? They're difficult to carry. It's like kind
- 48:39Speaker 2: of doing this hot dogs number one? Hot dogs gotta
- 48:42Speaker 2: be number one. Maybe a popcorn too. I don't like
- 48:45Speaker 2: popcorn at a game. I don't like it.
- 48:49Speaker 3: What it's a you know, like, that's not a clean take. Hey,
- 48:59Speaker 3: that's a clean take. It's just nervous to say. Pretzels.
- 49:02Speaker 2: That's a great taken. Shifted around. Do you guys do
- 49:08Speaker 2: this move?
- 49:09Speaker 3: Will you grab the pretzel and you take your pinky
- 49:11Speaker 3: kind of put it in there, and then you scoop
- 49:13Speaker 3: the cheese.
- 49:16Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, man, that's a clean take.
- 49:18Speaker 5: You might be putting us on games.
- 49:20Speaker 3: If you open there, you open the pretzel, you have
- 49:22Speaker 3: like a little like a little pretzel stick. Now you
- 49:25Speaker 3: take your pinky, get a little hole in there, finger it,
- 49:29Speaker 3: finger it, and then you dip it in the cheese. Buddy, Yeah,
- 49:36Speaker 3: down the little hole.
- 49:37Speaker 2: You put the hole in there, so you scoop it's
- 49:38Speaker 2: in the hole. Hey, that's something you like that, you
- 49:43Speaker 2: like that? Then then hit the spot all right, clean, clean, clean?
- 49:49Speaker 2: That aders great transition. Who is his agent. Who is
- 49:59Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins agent. That's how we need to know right now.

- 53:31Speaker 2: Tell you the championship before time. Hey fucking Michigan, dude, Yeah, Michigan.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Is that not a clean take though? That this might
- 53:40Speaker 3: be like if Michigan wins basketball and in hockey, is
- 53:44Speaker 3: Michigan the best sports school?
- 53:46Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, sports, what's that? I don't know
- 53:52Speaker 2: who's won the Natties across all sports. I mean you

- 53:58Speaker 2: As baseball you guys win, Yeah, you guys win in basketball,
- 54:01Speaker 2: you win in hockey. Say you win this year in football.
- 54:04Speaker 2: It'd be hard to one in twenty three the basketball hockey. Yeah, dude.
- 54:10Speaker 2: As much as you guys are take out even winning
- 54:13Speaker 2: national titles, but as much as you guys are in
- 54:14Speaker 2: the conversation and multiple sports year in and year out,
- 54:20Speaker 2: absolutely that that'd be an argument. I just have no
- 54:23Speaker 2: clue what other times do.
- 54:24Speaker 4: I like Florida at one time, they were good at
- 54:28Speaker 4: everything and won everything.
- 54:29Speaker 2: At one time.
- 54:30Speaker 3: I just feel like everyone has their time. It just
- 54:32Speaker 3: kind of feels like this is Michigan's time, like there's
- 54:35Speaker 3: always a time to be excited about.
- 54:37Speaker 2: But they just haven't won.
- 54:38Speaker 5: What's the World Series against Bandy in twenty nineteen. You
- 54:41Speaker 5: have to say a lot of fans are saying, don't
- 54:42Speaker 5: forget they lost.
- 54:43Speaker 2: To Bandy, but they went. I just God, Cortanoy. When
- 54:49Speaker 2: Michigan wins bro it was like, I enjoy it, but
- 54:54Speaker 2: for the love of God. Like he texted me last night.
- 54:56Speaker 2: He texted me yesterday just randomly, but seven o'clock, did
- 55:00Speaker 2: I miss your text? And I knew what he was
- 55:04Speaker 2: already getting at. It was Michigan and I'm like, I
- 55:06Speaker 2: tell you hated birthday messages. He said, no, I just
- 55:08Speaker 2: thought you would have wished Michigan good luck by now
- 55:10Speaker 2: to bring the Big ten and you and Natty and
- 55:15Speaker 2: I just I said, I have my alarm set for
- 55:16Speaker 2: tomorrow morning for that text to go out. Then I
- 55:19Speaker 2: sent him a screen shot text Dave good luck. So
- 55:21Speaker 2: he and the Michigan Wolverines can bring the Big Ten
- 55:23Speaker 2: title home. Don't forget to text this. I just sent
- 55:26Speaker 2: him a little screenshot circling everything. I was like, I
- 55:29Speaker 2: got two alarm sets for you, Bro. Did you send it?
- 55:33Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 55:33Speaker 2: I sent some more. I said, I didn't sleep last night.
- 55:34Speaker 2: All I could think about was Michigan. How they're the
- 55:37Speaker 2: best basketball team in the country. It's impossible for them
- 55:39Speaker 2: to lose the night knowing Dave Portnoy's leading the way.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Congrats on the National championship. God Bless Blue, God bless pizza,
- 55:45Speaker 2: and God Bless America. Wow, that's big of you. Go

- 55:49Speaker 3: Go by the book. This what goes from ESPN Insights.
- 55:52Speaker 3: Michigan won by a combined fifty one points in the
- 55:54Speaker 3: Elite and final fours. That's the best point differential in
- 55:58Speaker 3: two games prior to the National champions since UCLA in
- 56:01Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight, which was plus fifty three.
- 56:04Speaker 2: Look out yeah twenty three. YAXL.
- 56:09Speaker 3: I mean, how about that kid slips, sprains his MCL
- 56:13Speaker 3: goes to the tenant. It looked like he had a
- 56:14Speaker 3: little ACL situation going on. Comes back in the game,
- 56:17Speaker 3: not great on defense, but was joining threes. Still was
- 56:20Speaker 3: a big part of it. Mara fifteen, that big, that
- 56:23Speaker 3: big tall boy right there, you just you just close
- 56:26Speaker 3: your eyes, throwing up near the rim.
- 56:27Speaker 2: He's gonna pick it up and dunk it.
- 56:28Speaker 4: I don't understand that guy. He's His touch around the
- 56:31Speaker 4: rim is insane, insane. Do not even it makes sense.
- 56:34Speaker 3: The one where a guy kind of put a bad
- 56:36Speaker 3: pass up, he's like jumping and he's like behind the
- 56:38Speaker 3: board and I taught it and like.
- 56:39Speaker 2: Banked it in like that hand eye coordination is crazy
- 56:42Speaker 2: to me. These guys. Man, who's the point guard, who's
- 56:45Speaker 2: the point guard? What's his name?
- 56:47Speaker 3: Coudou Cordeaux something like that. Dude, he's doing no look passes.
- 56:52Speaker 3: He's out there, he's he's out there facilitating Elliott Coudeau.
- 56:56Speaker 2: He's other point guarding. He's out there being a good
- 56:59Speaker 2: point guard. He had the look. Did you see that
- 57:03Speaker 2: allergic reaction? He had a great bout posse. Yeah. And
- 57:07Speaker 2: the other guy that caught it had an amazing backcut.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Yeah and roll. And what have we said on the
- 57:13Speaker 2: show since this ternam has started. If you scored the
- 57:16Speaker 2: most points, you're gonna win the game. Yeah, what's your
- 57:19Speaker 2: best offense? Taylor a good defense. Come on, you know
- 57:23Speaker 2: it uh a.
- 57:24Speaker 7: Place for Michigan's kind of set its sides. Nil wise
- 57:29Speaker 7: is baseball. Big Ten has not won a World Series
- 57:33Speaker 7: in college baseball since sixty six, which is nuts. But
- 57:38Speaker 7: you guys, y'all win basketball. It's like, okay, now let's
- 57:41Speaker 7: move all in il to this make history.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Yeah, but dude, here's the thing about Michigan.
- 57:46Speaker 3: It's like, if you look at Michigan, Ohio State, and Indiana,
- 57:50Speaker 3: like what we've done for the Big Ten, it's like,
- 57:53Speaker 3: can somebody else get it going a little bit? Can
- 57:57Speaker 3: somebody else pick up the pieces we're doing all these
- 57:59Speaker 3: other things. I think Nebraska would be a phenomenal baseball school.
- 58:03Speaker 2: That's right there.
- 58:04Speaker 3: You're an how you're an hour away from Omaha like that.
- 58:06Speaker 3: I think that's where you put the funds. So that
- 58:08Speaker 3: were the Big Tenders owns all the.
- 58:10Speaker 2: Sports, there'd baseball school.
- 58:12Speaker 5: So would give funds to Nebraska's baseball No, no, no, no,

- 1:01:15Speaker 3: good spot.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: But I want to I want to come on, you know.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: I think it would look good ripping around one of
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: those leotards Cam Jurgens. I think Cam Jurgens was he
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: would kind of get after it.
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: I could be like the smaller one and he'd just
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: be that fucking I need a brute in here for
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: a minute. I'd love to see Cam Cam drag you

- 1:01:41Speaker 3: water while Cam dragons and Sue kind of go lad
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: it and they're both trying to slap her hands on
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: and we'll hanging back.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: Sleeper pick I'm thinking in the Dave Battista, Ray Mysterio Era,
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: Diego Pavia.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: Good pick. That's a wo would be the worst partner,
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: give me rfk Jr. The worst partner. I think Shane
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: might be. I think Shane would be the.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Worst partner for a Wrestlmingia Nate Bargalaxy's up there to
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: Nate Bargazi be up there, but I think Shane.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: What about Wheeler Walker Junior?
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if Zach Top would do too
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: well either.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Damn what about Clay Matthews. Yeah, clean take just paid
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: some stone cold by Josh would be awesome. Get him
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: out there one of the knee braces. We might be
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: able to build a team. Yeah, start competing.
- 1:02:44Speaker 5: He's on the smaller side.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: But Spencer Lee wrestler, No, he'd be acrobatic, clean take clean.
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: I think a little bit of flair through the baseball
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: helmet at that pitcher.
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: When you saw the accuracy with that throw, man was
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: dog ship. But you got to it's exactly when you're
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: seeing I need you controlled, Yes, I need you in
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: their control.

- 1:03:21Speaker 2: we got to get to work doing it. People are
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: losing their minds in the wrestling world right now because
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: Pat McFee like inserted himself to try and get like
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I want to say, it's Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: They were going at it at WrestleMania. Apparently Ratings Business
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: all this stuff apparently allegedly. I don't know, stuff is down.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: They're trying to Pat's trying to help revitalize like an
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: Attitude era, and he was out there. Did you see
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: any of the clips?
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: No?
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: You know, you gotta This is kind of a dead
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: end conversation. We can just tell me what happened part
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: of the Pat goes out there and him and Randy
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Orton and kind of like, uh, I guess beat up
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Cody Rhodes. I haven't and forgive me, I haven't watched.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: I haven't been a wrestler guy since essentially the Attitude
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: Air of the Rocks. Don't cold all those guys, John Cena.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: But the wrestling world was pissed. Why it was like
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: the lowest rated show that they've had for what a
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: couple of decades. I could be talking out of turn there.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody as anybody as anybody else
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: you can does anybody know what I'm talking about? Like,
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: as anybody? Is this the is this only on my timeline?
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: I believe So maybe I don't want to speak for
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: the bus, but I believe some time the war in Michigan,
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: those are those are the two things on my timeline
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: right now. And Pokemon cards. Yeah, I've been seeing this up.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: I saw the Rock talking about, Hey Dad, what were
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: you like in the nineties? I saw him saw that.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: I did see that. I'm seeing the more Rock stuff
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: back in the day when he was on the mic.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: But uh, the wrestling world is in uh is in
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: a tizzy over over McAfee coming out with Randy Orton
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: trying to revitalize, trying to give some juice to the
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: wrestling world because apparently it's not doing well.
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: The new era is here though, Trick Williams. You see
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: the WWWE. They're starting to push him big time. And
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: you can probably guess while I'm bringing him up, not Greenville,
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: but former South Carolina football player, and he was the
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: champion in that league right below WWE. And now he's
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: been on all the shows and everything. So keep an
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: eye on Trick Williams.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: Keep eye.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: This guy has been a guest on our show. But
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: have you seen the clip of that pizza guy, the
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: wrestler who like swings dough around.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy I would love to be my partner.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: We need the show. I love to have that guy. Man,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: his energy is incredible. Is he really think so?
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like that's there is this guy
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: looking like gangs and gangs in New York over here, right,
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: that is crazy.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: He's the butcher. He is the butcher. I need you
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: guys in the wrestling lower man.
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't you guys ever heard of tk I
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: just brought up a guy that throws pizzas at people
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: I know, like I'm I. I would say that I'm
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: probably in it a little bit with it.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: That's apparently t k O is getting involved in the
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: creative wrestling. Fans hate that. Vince McMahon would have never
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: but now it's Triple H running it. They think Triple
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: H is kind of bent the knee and t k
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: O is kind of stepping over and making calls. You
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: guys read up on them, bro, it's I'd love to
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: get this. This is where we need George Kittle on that.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: You don't know who that is? No, come on, man, No,
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: I don't know who it is. That's Triple H. Triple
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: A great physique. Time to play the game. He did.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: He rocked the pedigree on dudes, the dog food. Put
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: both arms under your head, would be under the crotch,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: get both arms over boom ship. Yeah, he had a
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: sick entrance. We maybe we should do wrestling, dude. We
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: could be a great tag team, but you you got
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: to know a little bit about some wrestling. I could
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: figure out how to wrestle. Like the crowd would hate us.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: The crowd would hate these guys don't know what they're doing.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: They don't know what this sport's about. If there's a
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: guy that can throw dough at people, I can figure
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: it out. A Shawn Michaels and Shawn Michaels triple Ah,
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: oh buddy, HBK, come on sweech in music. Yeah, I
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: think he got Those were the days, bro, that was
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: the peak. Those were the days. All right, what's what's
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: what's something that we would I think he got it
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: right at the beginning of this conversation. What that end? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: if nobody knows on the bus, what's going on? The
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: guy like following it. I don't watch it. I don't
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: like watch it every week. Like when I saw everything happen,
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: I shooted Dennis Kelly, I'm like, hey, what are your thoughts?
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Because I know Dennis loves he loves he.
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: I would catch you with the lunch table essentially doing
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: what you just did to us like, there'll be guys,
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: but you guys watch this weekend.
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: No let me tell you. He would break it all
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: all down for everybody.
- 1:07:58Speaker 8: I know.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: It says we're good to wrap here. I like to
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: just say one thing. If you have a kid above
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: the age of five, do yourself a favor. Get them
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: a NERF gun. Get them a NERF gun. There's something
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: so paint on the idea. The easter buddy brought my
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: kids little single shot unicorn NERF guns.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Very cool.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Then my kids realized this is a weapon. Who's public
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: enemy number one in our household myself. So the kids
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: were coming over sideways holding the gun and clipping me
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: at a point blank range, and I'm like, guys, listen,
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: you can hit someone in the eye. You let's put
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: some targets outside. And they'd giggle recock it, and they
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: had me doing the hey quit like you're kind of
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: there's no way to look tough when you're doing this.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: So there's a lull, there's a break in the action,
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: there's other kids coming over. We're gonna hang out for
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: a little bit. I go to Walmart and I found
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: a seventy eight dollars assault rifle NERF gun nice, and
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: we had a nice little brunch. During the brunch, I
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: call it the Red brunch. I just watched the Red Wedding.
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: But I went we ate and I excused myself, went
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: to meat Eater's closet. I put all the meat eater
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: outfit on, including these pants that haven't taken off sense,
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: and went around the back. Turned on Rob Zombie Dracula.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Parents. Parents knew.
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: They all went in the house and locked the kids out,
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: and they turn around and just see me in the
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: Gilli suit. And I pumped all those kids, killed them,
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: and then I bought five more guns and we all
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: had war fights four hours.
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: You did you smoked? Whoever was hiding under the table.
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: That was when you just stared down at her. You
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: paused for a second two and then you just see.
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: I thought about doing it, stop, I thought about not
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: doing it. There was one dude we were messing around.
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: We were in the garden and it was like the
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: three kids versus me and I would like post up
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: an area and we were like legit, like it was
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: like paintball or call it due to your airsoft whatever.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: It's like, I was having so much fun and seeing
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: the kids have a blast.
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: To it was.
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: It was great.
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: And during the break, because we fourteen shots in our clip,
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, no one's shooting anybody, and I'm just
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: putting the clip in. Uh here, like one goes like
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: buy my eyeballs and I look up and it's when
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: she's smiled, honey, don't shoot right now. We're all getting
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: ready to go go back to the clip. One behind
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: my head not listening. I go, win, don't do it again.
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: And then I and then after the next break, I'm
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: putting the clip in. I have like five bullets in there,
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: and sure enough one hit. One goes right past me. Again,
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: I look at her.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: It's when she smiles. I put the clip in. Cock it.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: I hit her like five times ago. Stop doing that.
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: He's like, why would you hit me? I was like,
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: I asked you not to so many times, like you
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: get hurt doing this. You hit me in the eye,
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: So you had to get jot. She's not respecting, she's
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: not respecting the game. So I had to pump five
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: into her chest, breaking the laws of war breaking though yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: A laws of engagement, buddy, Rules of engagement. Anyway, it
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: is like the best toys a kid. It's so much fun. Dude.
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: This morning they're out there target practicing, getting ready because
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: I get home today before I go to Indianapolis, going
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: back to war.
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: Problem is the bullets last like three days because you
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: lose them all Yep.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: True. I've tried to.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: We have a whole bunch. We have like a big
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: surplus of bullets. And I've told him like, when you shoot,
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: like you need to go and pick up your bullets, pick.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: Them all up. Good luck. I know we've already lost
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: a bunch. But speaking of war, there's a war going
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: on in Philly right now? What's going on in Philly?
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Did you all the Jalen hurt stuff? Yeah? Clump, what's
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: going on with that? Clump? You're that you're the Philly guy.
- 1:11:36Speaker 8: Yeah, there's been some reports that Jalen Hurts is a
- 1:11:38Speaker 8: bad teammate. Come on, he's the problem on offense. He
- 1:11:42Speaker 8: doesn't want to un certain plays, he limits the offense.
- 1:11:46Speaker 8: Just a lot of stuff like that, bond the scenes.
- 1:11:47Speaker 8: As an Eagles fan, what is your opinion?
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: My opinion.
- 1:11:52Speaker 8: Without trolling, I think everyone knows I kind of mess
- 1:11:54Speaker 8: around with Jalen Hurts, but it's pretty obvious that he
- 1:11:57Speaker 8: holds the team back at times. I think he's very
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: limit as a passer, and if he's calling the plays,
- 1:12:03Speaker 8: I think that's a problem. I think the offensive coordinator
- 1:12:05Speaker 8: has been fired now how many years, so it's it's
- 1:12:08Speaker 8: a problem. And if no one's really coming out to
- 1:12:11Speaker 8: defend him either outside of I think the only person
- 1:12:13Speaker 8: I saw was CJ. Gardner Johnson, who was supposed to
- 1:12:16Speaker 8: be a friend of the show and couldn't make it happen.
- 1:12:17Speaker 8: But I've only seen him defend Jalen Hurts, which is
- 1:12:21Speaker 8: kind of crazy because usually when guys kind of get
- 1:12:23Speaker 8: trash like that, like everyone's out in the public defending him.
- 1:12:25Speaker 8: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I missed some of them, but
- 1:12:27Speaker 8: it's kind of telling that no one's really out there
- 1:12:30Speaker 8: defending him. So not good, not a great, not a
- 1:12:32Speaker 8: great start to the Eagles season.
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: It's kind of the last year where he's guaranteed money
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: last too, right, You saw that they're not getting I
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: see that. It almost seems like the team or the
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: organization's positioning that this is the year to either make
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: it happen or he won't be part of the team.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Did they win a Super Bowl two years ago. Yes,
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: and he won Super Bowl MVP. He did, and then
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: the OC went to the Saints, right, Kellen Moore?
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: Yes, Kellen Moore right.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: And so he's had one down year and all of
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: a sudden, you're jumping ship. No no, no, no, no,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: no no no, you said you just said he holds
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: the holds of team back. He holds the team back
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: on offense. He's a great leader though, but he uh,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: he struggles throwing the football. You bought us the kids book.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: He made great kids book, by the way, did you
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: read it?
- 1:13:14Speaker 9: No?
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: Kids, that's bad.
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: We'll table.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: So do you think Philly's overreacting the fan base? Yeah,
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: Like you're talking about him jumping ship. Are you saying
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Jalen's the guy? I got to look more into it.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: It seems like clumps out on him, though. I'm kind
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: of like you on like sitting back because all this
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: is not the anonymous smoke stuff. I know that's a
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: conversation in itself, but I know, like sitting back and
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: observing it is It's like, do you see teammates coming
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: out to go to bat for him? Because we don't know,
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: like we're not in the locker room, like we've heard
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: a lot of We've heard a lot of variations of
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: things out there on Jayalen, just on the Eagles in general.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: It's like a J's wanting out the coordinators. He is
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: on a seventh coordinator, which is shitty. But I wonder,
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: like if it's if it's been a thing with the
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: coordinators on why they've left. I know two went on
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: to become head coaches, but I wonder if there's any
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: It's always so fascinating with Philly because they're all so psychotic.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: They all report on everything all the time. It's gotta
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: suck to be under the spotlight if you were the
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: QB there. But yeah, it's all it's all bizarre.
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: It's interesting that they had their roster too, is like
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: top to bob and the best in the NFL, and
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: they had the production they did this year, especially on
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: the offensive side.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: Of the ball. Yeah, I mean it was the offense
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: was terrible.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: The offense was not Yeah, it wasn't good at all.
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: And it's just like it's not Jalen always like the
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: route concepts weren't creative, guys were missing their blocks on
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: the inside, and like with Saquon, like everyone just kind
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: of seem like they played down this year. But if
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: you're paying Jalen what you're paying jail, which is over
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: like a two hundred million dollars contract, right, you need
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: him to be the guy, no doubt when it's struggling,
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: no doubt.
- 1:14:47Speaker 8: I think one thing that was funny from our cam
- 1:14:49Speaker 8: Jurgen's episode, a lot of people complain Danielovsky included that
- 1:14:52Speaker 8: the Eagles should be under center more, and they really
- 1:14:55Speaker 8: ran with that. Jalen doesn't like going under center because
- 1:14:57Speaker 8: cam sweaty thing. I saw that No No took off.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: It actually didn't even cross my mind when he said it.
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: The Eagles fans are a different breed, different breed. If
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: you are an Eagle, you love that fan base. If
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: you're on the outside, it's like these motherfuckers.
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: It was different. But I would love for the.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: Fan Phillys to hate each other at times. Yeah, I
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: love a psychotic fan base. They are psycho because you
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: always have every like major program, major school has a
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: top five percent that are truly psychotic about their school.
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: Philly is just like that five percent is like fifty percent.
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: They're just there's a much louder version. I do love
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: those those guys, because if you are successful Jason Kelcey,
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: it's like you need to live in infamy for the
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: rest of your life and you get to be Jason
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: Kelsey essentially, which I think is just awesome. You don't
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: get that, like, Jason's still gonna have the same career,
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: He's still gonna make the Hall of Fame if he's
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: on any other team, but because he's on the Eagles,
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: because the media, because of the fan base, like he
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: gets like the ascension is incredible. Still has all the
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: talent in the world, it's just with the Eagles and
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: helps them boost it up.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: Jalen's gonna be the the converse the headline every week
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: going into this season, every single week, especially if they
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: trade AJ and it sounds like Gordon of Pro Football Talk,
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: I believe that he's getting traded to the Patriots in June.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: He's like, dude, and once AJ gets traded, bro, Like,
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: who knows what AJ is gonna say? Right, that's true.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: I feel like I feel A will have like he'll be,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: he'll have he'll have he'll have mysterious comments and yes,
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: that's again just feed the machine around all the conversation.
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: It's like when Taylor Swift releases a new album. The
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: Swift's are all breaking down with the albums, like and
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: all the small intricacies because this, Yeah, like when when
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: a Jo put a tweet out, the Philly fans will
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: be like, yeah, that goes back to August seventeenth, two
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: thousand whatever. When a J and you know hurts this
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: whole situation, that's a clean talk. I'm telling me that
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: pretzel thing is a game change because with AJ two,
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: think about when he went there, him and Jalen were
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: they in person or on FaceTime?

- 1:23:29Speaker 3: were in Atlanta and he was up on the big screen.
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: That's when he hit the crossbar. Because there's the big
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: championship going on the same day, and he had the shorts.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: They're like three and a half insane. Yeah, he looking
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: at this Cati man, he really is just your prototypical
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: like if you're building a linebacker on the video game, like,
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: this is how I want him to look.
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: Had that strong mustag. Strong strong. I'll tell you what
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: I think you need one. Let me tell you. I
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: So we used to do stuff whenever I was in
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: high school for the playoffs, like you know, we'd like
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: one year we all all war sweater vest like drezzle.
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: You know, I've got a picture of that, and we
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: did mustaches one year and you know, half the staff
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: like coach, I can't even grow facial here. I said,
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: we'll start now, and uh it said fear the stash.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: And my wife was like, I've never wanted you'all to
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: lose more than any time in my mind. She hated
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: it so bad. So every time they messed with me
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: about hey, we're growing out there, she's like, yeah, no
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: you're not. That's the one thing off the table. Yeah
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: it's coming though, Yeah it's gonna happen. We got to. Yeah,
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: we're gonna get deep in the playoffs or something and
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: freing shave it and everything. Yeah, I mean you gotta
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: hold on. Are we run? Okay? Great?
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: No, No, I think that's a that's a great start.
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: You feel good about talking about hatred mustaches.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think it's you, though, I think she
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: would love your mustache.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: I think it's just on me when I so, when
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: I met my wife, I kind of told you, like,
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: like I quickly how me and my wife met, how
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: quickly we got married. And when we first met, I had, like,
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: you know, similar that photo.
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: You saw the kind of like the.
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: Pubic hair beer going on, and I bicked it. And
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: then I met her that night, bicked it. The next
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: day She's like, hey, I kind of I don't like this.
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: Like I've always liked the mustache. So since that day,
- 1:25:09Speaker 3: I've had a mustache and I've only lost it a
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: couple of times due to bets.
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that quick though it takes a month because I
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: can't grow here. Yeah, it's all like kind of scattered still,
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: but this has always been my strong suit, which I've
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: always wanted a mustache as a kid.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: Weight. It's been a huge win. You've to say this,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: and you can we're gonna have this on record. How
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: lucky is she? Yeah, let's be honest. You know, we've
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: kind of had that conversation. For me, you would be
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: a huge hit in West Texas because the mustache in
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: West Texas is a big deal, even before Jacob and
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: the linebackers. The mustash in West Texas.
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: About some about a desert landscape and a mustache just
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: kind of hits the population a little bit different, No doubt.
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: I do appreciate that. I do love the fact that
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: I'd be a high popularity here. Yeah. Should we keep
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: feeling uncomfortable because the spot it's a nice complimence. Yeah,
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: he's a good job today, just being like I don't
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: feel like once this let me give it to him. Yeah,
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: I love that. How we get him uncomfortable? Yeah, so
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: football Texas Tech, Yeah, how's it going. It's going good?
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: I mean, uh, I know, whenever I think and Bob
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Stoops is a really good friend of mine, so reading
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: his books and his book and everything, but talking to
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: him and everything. Whenever you start thinking about jobs and uh,
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: getting uh the administration behind you, getting everything behind you,
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: there's there's no better job in the country than Texas Tech,
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: your president. His son's a football coach, right, so right there,
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: you got him on your side. Our board of regents
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: were sitting in the Dusty Wamble Football Center. He's on
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: the board of regions. We play on Cody Campbell Football Field.
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: He's the chairman of the board. If you want to
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: go eat at our nutrition center, it's the Cash Nutrition Center,
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: Clay Cash. He's on the board. Tim Kulp, he's on
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: the board. He's a huge athletic fan supporter, you know,
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: for the last probably thirty or forty years. So there's
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: no better alignment. And then this is kind of a joke,
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: but it's not. You know, my ad wore jock like
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: he like he did, like he played linebacker at k State.
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: You know, he's a Texas guy from Sherman, Texas. But
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: I was actually talking to his position coach, who was
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: the head coach at Lufkin, and I said, man, Kirby
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: gets it. He goes, damn right, he gets it. He
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: wore a jock, you know. And so I worked for
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: a guy that's played the game, that understands. And so
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: whenever you put all that together and you have a
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: group of people to say, man, we're going all in. Man,
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: what better place to work for, you know, because the
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: pressure's here no matter what. Like we all know, as
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: a coach, I learned a long time ago whenever two
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: thousand and three, I was thirty one years old, head
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: coach at five a high school in the state of Texas,
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: and the superintendent said, you have you win, you get
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: to keep your job. If you lose, then we're gonna
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: fire you. And I realized real quick, and that's what
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: it's about. So we have all the resources to win.
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: So now it's all on us. What's the relationship, Like
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: you mentioned Cody Campbell, he's some of that's obviously a
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: massive mouthpiece for Texas Tech, being out front, being in
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: the media telling all the stories. What is your relationship
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: like with him? Like how often are you guys talking?
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: He's my guy?
- 1:28:22Speaker 6: Man?
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Like literally, we have a group text me my wife,
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: Debbie Tara, his wife, who she was a cheerleader here
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: at Texas Tech, so you know she is the same
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: way she is a passionate red raider. Like we're on
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: a group text right now because y'all, I don't know
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: since y'all been walking around you probably can't seen, but
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: there's a little riff right now with commissioning your Mark
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: and Cody, So you know, what's the dust up. Just
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: you know, we're in the state of Texas playing on
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: Friday night, and you know Friday night, I mean not
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: only in the state of Texas, we're in West Texas.
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: And everybody's read the book Friday Night Lights that started
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: out here, the origin of like you start thinking about
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights and the or and the movie and
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: the all the you know, the the sitcom that was
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: going on, it started out here two hours away or
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: a little bit less than two hours away in Odessa,
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: and uh. And so he's a West Texas guy, and
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: he's been talking a lot about like Friday nights is
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: for football in the state of Texas for high school football,
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: Saturday is for college football, and Sundays for the NFL.
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: And you know, that's that's kind of how it goes
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: in the state of Texas. And so we're probably playing
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: Houston on a Friday night and he's not happy about it,
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: and I understand both sides, but it's kind of so
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: literally I'm in a group texts and they're texting back
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: and forth about that. So it's literally trying to play
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: on Friday. We're in Texas Fridays for high.
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: School, and the conversation is always like revolved around like
- 1:29:46Speaker 3: Friday Night Lights and which state is the best, who
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: takes football the most serious? Like that explanation of Friday
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: Night Lights. You just know you have to give the
- 1:29:53Speaker 3: Texas at this point.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: And man, I respect like I played in the Herb
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: Street Classic, you know, and played the Ohio team, and
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: then it's just incredible the way they love their football.
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: You know, the state of Georgia. Just getting to know
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: some people even before in the Under Armour All American Game.
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: Jeff Simpson, he was the head coach a long time
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: at BUE for Georgia. Getting to know those guys. And
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: you know, of course what Florida, you know, the athletes
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: they have and the players that they have there. But man,
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: I'm just telling you you just like, honestly, let's drive around,
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: love it, but let's go to the df W. Let's
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: go to Houston. Like in def W, there's probably one
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: hundred indoor practice fields that are every bit as nice
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: as the one we have here at Texas Tech. You know,
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: I mean that are high school indoor practice fields. I mean,
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: there's no state that takes it more serious and backs
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: it more. My last state championship game twenty fourteen, we
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: played in front of fifty four thousand people, Like there's
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: nothing like Friday night lights in the state of Texas.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: And so, you know, got a little riff going on there.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: And I have to understand both because I understand, you know,
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: how we have to push the Big twelve and TV
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: and you know is pushing all that and everything, and
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: so I get it. But going back to talking to Cody,
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: he was out here Tuesday at practice with a group
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: of high school players that his son's a freshman in
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: high school. And then I literally, I mean there's not
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: once away. I mean at least once a week that
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: we're not on the phone or we're not texting each
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: other about something. You're just throwing a joke and hey,
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: we need a pony up, some more money for this
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: boy we want to bring in. There's never not a
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: great thing is the guys that we're talking about. It's
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: never a joke, and he finds a way to get
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: it done. Yeah, Like like literally that's the great thing.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: And it's you know, I always say, you've got you've
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: got Red Raider Nation behind you. But there's really Cody
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: leads the charge. He's the you know, out front, the
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: most vocal all in. But you got Cody Campbell, his
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: high school teammate, college teammate, business partner in Double Eagle,
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: John Sellers, Dusty Womble who started his company his junior
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: year in college here at Texas Tech. Mike Wallace who
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: is he's from the Fort Worth area but he lives
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: in Midland. And then Gary Peterson, who is a big
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: investor in Houston. Those five guys, like if you need something,
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: you get on the phone with those guys. They find
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: a way to make it happen. Yeah, it sounds like
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: the the deep state of Texas. Yeah, they can handle anything.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: The NL landscape is like clearly changed so much about
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: college football and some of these players are making so
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: much money now, and it seems like other big schools
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: like Texas Tech are a little more reserved, play closer
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: to the vest about how much kids are making or
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: the investment they're putting into these young players. But when
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: you look at Lubbock, Texas and Texas Tech, like you
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: just put on the game with the BYU Texas Tech
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: game last year and there's a girl holding a sign
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: that says, I love oil money. You guys are just
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: in the forefront, like, yeah, we know the new landscape
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: of football and how everything's going, and we are fully
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: embracing the idea of paying these.
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: Players and everything like that. Was that a conversation that
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: took place for you guys, Like seems like with Cody
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: and his team and all the resources you guys have,
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: let's just stay at the forefront of this they and
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: be like, Yeah, we pay our players and this is
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: what we're gonna do because that's the new way of football.
- 1:33:07Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: I kind of think back like ten minutes ago before
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: we started all this, and I asked you how this
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: got started, and you know, you told me the three
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: stories and you're like, we're out in front, and this
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: is what took off. You know what's interesting. Matt Dowdy,
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: he's our sports information director for football, and he and
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: I talk a lot about like this year's narrative, but
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: last year we embraced it to get everybody to understand
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: that we're here to play like and we wanted the players.
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: We wanted the players around the country to understand that,
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: you know, all the negative recruiting that can take place
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: of like there's nothing out in West Texas and what
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: are the facilities like, and you know what are they doing? Well,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: you walk into the Wable Football Center, it's the best
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: facility in the country. It goes head to head with
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: anything that's out there. And then you turn around and
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: we're sharing at the highest level. And so we wanted
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: to make sure that everybody understood we're here. We're here
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: for real and it just is not a one year
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: like not a one year delating in the bottle. Yes,
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: not like I love Cody the Cody again. There was
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: a you know, a tweet about something and and he said,
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere, Bud, Like that was his I've
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: got all kinds of shirts of Coke Cody coachs. Like literally,
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: I've got like a cause. This all started after the
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: Colorado game. This started way before that, but like publicly,
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: it all started with we had a fan that said, hey,
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: we need you to go buy us an offensive line
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: and Cody's tweet to that response was I will And like,
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: if you look at our Mattador Club, which was our collective,
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: they sold I will t shirts and you know it
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: was like, hey, let's get behind this, and and that
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: really started the it started way back before that in July,
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: of a plan of us sitting down saying we're going
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: to go attack the these two worlds that are colliding
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: rev Share and nil. Whenever that the house was going
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: to pass, there were two words, worlds colliding, and we
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: want to take advantage of it. But that just that tweet.
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: I mean, I've got a shirt in my closet and
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: their my office says I will and there's a picture
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: of the tweet of it. So like you've got to
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: you've got to love that. You've got to love that. Hey,
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: we're we're upfront with it. And a lot of people weren't.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: That we're spending more than we were, but they were not.
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: They didn't want to come up front with it because
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: I think they thought their logo was going to carry
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: the power of what their logos have carried in But
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: I think that's why we're the disruptor of college football.
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: Our logo necessarily hadn't been in the forefront in this sport,
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: and now we're trying to make sure that we're in
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: the forefront and that we're staying there. Yeah, it's like
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: almost the the respectable angle of clearly how much Texas
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: West Texas identifies with football, being great at football and
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: knowing that, hey, we're going to stand at the forefront
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: like we're here, We're not fucking around. Yeah, like we
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: mean like, yes, we're was whatever you want to say,
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: oh quote, tweet it. Yeah, we're gonna do this because
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: we're we want to. We want to signal to every
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: player out there in the country that, yeah, we are
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: trying to find a way to be the best team
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: in the country. Yeah.
- 1:36:11Speaker 3: Does that come as is that like a double edged
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: short in a way that you're showing, Hey, we're at
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: the forefront of nil, we are paying the players, we're
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: making the best facilities. Are you getting these players now
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: that are transferring with the thought press off? Well, I
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: know Texas Tech they say they pay players, so they
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: their their ask is probably higher than it would be
- 1:36:29Speaker 3: to a different.
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: School to get that feeling. Now, I don't because we
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: we have a really good plan of like what we're
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: going into negotiation with. We've got our So even whenever
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: before all this started, we really ran this program like
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: an NFL like I had it apart personnel department, you know,
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: and they were really taking the guys, uh to the coaches,
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: Like we've evaluated all these coach these players, we want
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: you to look at them, but these are the guys
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: that we really want to recruit. So we we have
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: a plan with that. I think last year it was
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: really fun. It was a fun narrative that there was
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: a lot of universities that got their tails kicked in
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: whenever it comes to competing in the nil world that
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: actually we're gonna that offered more. Like there were schools
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: that offered Lee Hunter a lot more than we offered,
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: but he was a red Raider, you know, and and
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: so that was the out. Like you always see the
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: anonymous different on three or two four seven gms anonymously
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: say this, but behind closed doors, you realize that we
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: beat you head to head, you know, and we did.
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: That was a great guy, Lee Hunter. We didn't pay
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: more for Lee Hunter than what other people were paying.
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: That we're going to pay more. He just never left
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: left Lubbock. You know that That is one thing maybe
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: nervous about swersby of course, but that like we when
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: we identify guys that we really want, then we were
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: very aggressive.
- 1:37:49Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: We have a great relationship with these agents. And the
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: one thing with us before this all happened, we never
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: were laid on a payment. We were never by hind
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: on any kind of and you'd be surprised, guys on you.
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: Yeah, can you expand them that a little bit because
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: I've heard, like some some schools are offering X amount
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: of dollars to these players, but the checks aren't clearing
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: at the end of the day. And so then you
- 1:38:15Speaker 3: see the next year of the guy who's leaving. He's
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: promised and there's like a headline of the player like
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: suing the right this player is sting this school three
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: million dollars, you know, only a million clears, and he's like,
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: you guys promised three Like, well, we couldn't do X,
- 1:38:28Speaker 3: Y and Z, so the next year he's going somewhere else.
- 1:38:30Speaker 3: So just expand them that a little bit that, Like,
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: I guess I'm not asking you to tell on schools,
- 1:38:34Speaker 3: but some of these schools aren't paying their players the
- 1:38:36Speaker 3: way that Texas Tech says and promises and eventually does
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: do as well.
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's changed a little bit from that
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: perspective because you have the rev share and and so
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: you know that's the school behind it. But before where
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: we I think what helped us so much, where we
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: developed such a great relationship with these different agents, is
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: there were schools that like promised X and then maybe
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: that came kid came in and didn't perform the way
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: that he thought they performed and they never got the
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: money that they were promised. Or you did have guys saying, Okay,
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: you're getting paid on the first of the month. Hey,
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: it's gonna come on the fifteenth. Like that stuff really happened.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: That never happened here at Texas Tech. Not one time
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: did that happen whenever it was just the true collective.
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: And then I also you have agents are like, man,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: you really need to go check out Texas Tech. These
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: guys when they tell you something, then that's what's going
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: to happen, you know. And then the thing that's helped
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: us a lot too, and it's going to help us
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: even more in a few weeks, you know, at the draft,
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: is that these guys are coming in. I love it, man,
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I'm a social media guy, you know.
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: I love the negative tweets kind of fire me up
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: and get me going and everything. But like I love
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: different fan bases saying, well, you know, Romolo Hyatt was
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: already a good player. Yeah he was. But in his
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: career before he got to Texas Tech, he had sixty
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: nine total pressures. One year he had sixty two pressures.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: So something clicked in West Texas that made this guy
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: better football player. David Bailey had more sacks in one
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: year than he did his entire career at Stanford, his
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: three year career. So something clicked. One we let our
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: guys do with a really great at We didn't drop
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: David Bailey. We rushed him, you know I would. I
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: don't know why you dropped David Bailey. So like we
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: try to identify their strengths and let them play to
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: their strengths and and then you know, so so some
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: of this stuff going back, like some of this stuff
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: of like developing a relationship and a trust. It's helped
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: us tremendously that we've been doing this, you know, more
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: than one year. We were doing it before you know,
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: the rev share and the NIL collided. What good I
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: was gonna say with the with Soresby, you mentioned Sworsby
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: made you nervous when you're when you identify a player
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: like sores being outlad he is. And when you are
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: going when you are being aggressive for a highly ted
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: of quarterback that everybody's gonna go after. What are you
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: speaking to Like when you say like some like you
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: got nervous at times recruiting swardsby yeah, because and he
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: the nervousness was many left, you know, he went on
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: another trip. The great thing he's man like. He is
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: such a great dude. He has got a phenomenal family.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: His dad is Jamie is a stud. We were the
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: one thing that you know, like the people that talked
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: were like, was, girlfriend, is gonna come play volleyball here? Well,
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: my director of player development has known Jamie since two
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: thousand and three, and I've known Jamie not the way
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: Dave knows Jamie, but I've known his dad since two
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: thousand and three. So we had a really good relationship
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: with a family. And so whenever he said, coach, I
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: gave my word that I was going to take this visit.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: You have my word. I'm gonna call you back whenever
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: it's time to make the decision, but I'm going to
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: take this visit. And not many people have walked out
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: of this building that we've wanted. Most of them have
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: shut down their recruiting, you know, most of them have,
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: like because whenever you get here and you know, you're saying, well,
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: this team has this money, this money, this money, this money,
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: this money. But when you walk in this building, if
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: you love football, you love this building. This building is
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: built built for football geeks. And then whenever you talk
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: to the coaches and what they're gonna do with you
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: and the plan we have, and then I think when
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: you talk to our players on campus, which are our
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: best advocates, and they're gonna tell you Coach McGuire seems
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: a little crazy all the time, and he's always excited.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: He's like that every single day. Like what you see
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: at Tech is what you get, Like the vibe today
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: that you're gonna walk around you come back tomorrow and
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: the TV cameras aren't with you, you're gonna get the
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: same vibe. You're gonna get the like it's the consistency
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: and the power and our routine is what's gonna make
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: us be the team that we're gonna be, in the
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: program we're gonna be. And so I think that that
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: made me nervous though, because he was like, man, coach.
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: I was like, god staying and I went to Blanchard
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: James James Lanter in my gym and I said, Man,
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: we gotta have a backup plan, right, I want a
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: backup plan. What was he going to visit? After you
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: got to think it was LSU Lane Kit, This is
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: like you know, I do, man, and I know that
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: he's like you think about what he's done in the portal.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: So that made me even more nervous, because the dude
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: has been incredible whenever he's an old miss and even
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: here with the roster he put together at LSU. Man,
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: the guys you know, the real deal whenever it comes
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: to the recruiting and stuff like that, and so I
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: was really nervous. Yeah, but I just saw something yesterday
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: that else you put forty million dollars in the roster
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: this year, so they're like one of the top two
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: hands a little crazy. Do you feel like the do
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: you feel like the nil landscape that we're in right
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: now is sustainable because you have like I don't even
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: it feels like a ghost cap like every school's got
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: what twenty million dollars and then there's a split revenue deal.
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: But it seems like, oh, there's not really a cap.
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: It just keeps going and going. You you, you come
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: across a couple of stories this year with what happened
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: at Duke, happened at Washington, when that quarterback was gonna
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: go to LSU, and then teams getting involved. Can we
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: make them pay us for what we were gonna set
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: the pay that he had already signed, Like is the
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: realm that we're in right now sustainable in your opinion?
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough with that. I don't know how
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: long it is, you know, I do think that's why.
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: I think that's why Cody, you know, he was on
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: that roundtable with President Trump. You know, I want the
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: cap whatever we can get it to. And this is
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: a good number for us, and it's a great number
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: for the players. But there's gonna have to put some
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: guardrails around it at some point, just from the standpoint
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: of like what are real numbers? And then again, it's tough.
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: But right now where we're at, it's just like last year.
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: We're taking advantage of it, like we're playing within the
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: rules and this is what the rules are, and so
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: we're gonna be in the forefront of what we the
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: money we have that we can go attack this roster with.
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: It's definitely an adapter die type of mind and said,
- 1:45:00Speaker 3: when it comes to Texas Tech, like we're in the
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: wild west of an Iland. Eventually there will be guard wells,
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: there will be lost put in place. But you got
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: to take advantage of the situation the best you can.
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: And it seems like you guys have more than enough
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: resources to make it all.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: Work right, no doubt. You go back like when you
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: guys played, or even like Johnny Manziel signing autographs, are
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: you selling your jersey maybe for a tattoo? And like
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: like when what what were we doing at that point?
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: Like the reason it is the way it is is
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: because we didn't have people thinking of it the right
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: way from the standpoint of these players should be getting X,
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: Y and Z or they should be able to do X,
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: Y and Z. And so whenever it came to a
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: few years ago, I guess four or five years ago,
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: whenever Pandora's box opened, it's never going back. So you
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: know you can't. That's the one thing that we've really
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: tried to do with our older boosters, and you know,
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: our older fan base is get them to understand like it.
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: It's not going back the other way. Every how you
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: felt that it was going to be. This is what's
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: good for us, and this is why we're going to win.
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: Great thing is winning the Big Twelve. I had a man,
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: I had two. Uh I think there's seventy five seventy
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: six year old Red Raiders played here, and both of
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: them got tattoos for the first time of the Double
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: te and the Big Twelve Championship, you know, because they
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: were so fired up about that. And you know, yeah,
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: I mean, like one of them, we were in Dallas
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: and we were we had alumni lunch and you know,
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: in the South Lake area, and and he pulled it
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: up and showed it to me, and he was so
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: proud of it and so proud of what we had done.
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: So but there is an education behind it of trying
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: to get your entire fan base to understand why this
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: should have happened a long time ago, right, you know,
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: and now why it's happening this way.
- 1:46:44Speaker 3: It is such a crazy contrast compared to Will and
- 1:46:46Speaker 3: I played. I remember from a compliance standpoint, if you
- 1:46:49Speaker 3: went into for breakfast, you went into the mess hall
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: and you got a bagel you could have a bagel.
- 1:46:54Speaker 3: He'd give you a bagel, but you couldn't get cream cheese. Yeah,
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: because for whatever reason, that was an extra benefit to
- 1:46:59Speaker 3: whatever was going on. These kids are making so much money.
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: They were downstairs being I forget what the story and
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: example was like specifically, but he's like, oh, yay, threw
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: us one hundred dollars gift car and we got a
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: free round of golf. And I'm just like, yeah, I
- 1:47:10Speaker 2: mean you can even. I mean it obviously like stuff
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: like that happened, but you couldn't let it get out.
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: And I'm thinking of myself like, damn, that never happened.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: When you know we're back rying, Like when I got
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: a mattress one time, like from one of my coaches.
- 1:47:22Speaker 2: Won't say his name, but I'm sure I've told this
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: story before, but it's like he gave me a tip
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: and everything. He gave me a temper pedic mattress, and
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: he's like, just give me a dollar. So that way,
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: at least we have on record that there was a
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: transaction that took place. You're not your hands are tied,
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: you're not allowed.
- 1:47:37Speaker 8: To do that.
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: My biggest thing was I went and I was at
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: a restaurant in Arbor and I got a chicken sandwich
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: and fries and I went to pay and they're like,
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: it's okay, you don't have to pay on this one.
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: I thought a little bit of guilt, ye, but I'm like, hey,
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: maybe I'm the man now. You're not gonna tell us anybody,
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: right though, But there's clearly so many good things about
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: I mean that for you guys at the Nile Era
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: last year, this time you had what twenty seven transfers,
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: I mean, the most transfers in all of college football,
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: and the narrative revolving around you guys was, hey, that's great.
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: They have a lot of hired mercenaries, but how are
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: they going to create them into a team. Clearly, you
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: win the Big.
- 1:48:10Speaker 3: Twelve championship, you go to the playoffs. We know it
- 1:48:13Speaker 3: didn't work out the way you want, but you had
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: a historic season for Texas Tech. What was your process
- 1:48:19Speaker 3: this time of the year last year, when all the
- 1:48:21Speaker 3: spotlight is on Texas Tech of like, yeah, they've got
- 1:48:23Speaker 3: talented players, but this is a team they bought their roster.
- 1:48:27Speaker 3: There was all like, you know, the people that were
- 1:48:29Speaker 3: the haters were essentially being very loud about like you know,
- 1:48:31Speaker 3: they're not doing it a pure way. What was your
- 1:48:34Speaker 3: process as the head coach? Like make these guys become
- 1:48:36Speaker 3: a team?
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: Yeah, one strong leaders like you walked around with two
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: of the three, you know, but like I really do.
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: Like it's funny and it was a joke, haha, but
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: also like even talking about this year, like I met
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: with Ben and John so Ben Roberts, our linebacker and
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: John Curry, our linebacker, and I said, hey, look, this
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: is all on you. I did the same thing with
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: Baron Morton and Jacob Rodriguez. This is all on you.
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: If we win, it's because of you, and if we lose,
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: it's because of you. And they both laughed and I said,
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: I'm joking, but I'm not. I can only do so
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: much to bring this locker room together. You guys are
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: in the locker room. You guys have got to cross
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: over the line. The offensive line is I mean the
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. You've got to go sit with the
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: old lineman, not with just the linebackers. You've got to
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: go hang out with You guys have got to bring
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: this team together. And I'm going to do all my
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: stuff that I need to do to bring the team together.
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: But we were literally the first when we came back
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: from the portal, got all the guys in the first
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: staff meeting, I said, look, I expect the x's and
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: o's to be right, because man, that's what coaches love
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: to do. Now you go in there, right now, they're
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: drawing up place like that's what they want to do.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: So I expect that. I said. The only thing that
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: matters is how close we can get this team together.
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: And this is how we're going to do it, and
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: it's our culture. Wednesdays we do breakfast fry, so we
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: split the team up in a complete like split. It's
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: not position groups and everything. We go all around like
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: we walk across the snooze. One group will be over there,
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: one group will be at Red Zone Cafe, one group
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: would be at stacks. The coaches, training staff, strength staff,
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: equipment staff. We all eat breakfast together and just talk
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: about you know, just life, you know, and so you
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: do that and you have that's all through January February,
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: all through June July. Just trying to do different things
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: outside the building with these guys to bring them together.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: I think that's the key. And then always talking about it,
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: like we talk about it all the time of like
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: the magic's going to be how close we can get
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: as a team, And man, we did it last year.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: And what I'm proud of is like I love that people,
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: I love you said that because I know you're not
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: saying that, but that's what everybody else said, is the Mercenary. Well, so,
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: Texas Tech, this year was our one hundredth year. Spring
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: twenty two was my first full semester. We hold every
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: record in the one hundred year at Texas Tech. Every semester,
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: whether we set the record and then we've beat it
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: or we've been a little below. Like what that year,
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: this team, the Mercenaries, we had thirty three college graduates
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: play Oregon and that team had a three point two
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: to three GPA. So if they just came here to
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: play football and didn't understand the culture and going to
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: class and this is what we expect and this is
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: what you can get out of Texas Tech, they wouldn't
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: have done that. Like Lee Hunter, all he needed to
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: do is past six hours and be eligible to play.
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Right that dude had his best GPA in the history
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: of his college and he already has a degree. Yeah,
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: and he still had his best GPA and so like
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: just the mindset of this being a team and a
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: family and bringing it together. I mean that was the
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: magic last year and that's what we're trying to create
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: this year.
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: It seems like the a phrase uncommon man that the
- 1:51:54Speaker 3: boys that were showing us around saying hello to everybody.
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: Yes, sir, no, sir. We walk in and we see
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: the equipment and they're like, hey, it's his birthday. Say
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: happy birthday. He happy birthday, man, and we walk away
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: like it wasn't his birthday. We just say it every
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: single Yeah. It's small little things that build culture like that.
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: So it's it seems like you guys are I love
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: the room. I remember I met three guys. I like
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: what you guys are doing here? So you don't love
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: you don't love the team, man, it's a we're getting
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: there and you give feel little moments to where they're
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: getting closer and closer together. At what point last year
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: where you're like, all right, we have a team now, yeah,
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: this is an individuals Now we have then we have
- 1:52:27Speaker 2: a team that that what you had to you had
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: one huge personality and and any school, any NFL team
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: that gets this guy, he is going to be Every
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: person in the building is going to fall in love
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: with him, and he's really good. It's Lee Hunter, and
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: so Lee was kind of the key of bringing He
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: and Skyler Gil Howard the key of bringing everybody together.
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: You could start seeing the way Lee was talking and
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: interacting with different people that it was genuine. It was
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: just not him being Lee. And man, we started seeing
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: like we'd come out of Wednesday meetings and my sons
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: are running backs coach Garret Maguire and he doesn't know
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: anything else, like he was raised in Cedar Hill and
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: this is what we did. He played for Matt Ruhle
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: Coach Rule and I are a lot alike in a
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: lot of different ways. And so he played for coach
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: and then coming back in knowing what we're trying to do,
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: he would say that it's it's coming man. Like he
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: would sit there and watching our meetings, watch Lee and Romelo,
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: they actually sit right over here, side by side, and
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: watching those two guys start, he said, the lights starting
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: to come on. That was the connector, you know, of
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: of what happened last year, you know, and we're trying
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: to do the same thing. Those three that walked you around.
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: Uh Swersby is a big connector you know those guys
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: like that, they're they're really bringing us. You met Jacobe
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: or young running back. He's become a big voice and
- 1:53:59Speaker 2: he's a light like he lights up rooms with a smile.
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: So those guys are really starting to come together. But
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: last year it was right now in spring football you
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: started seeing the personality of the team come out. When
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: you were talking about when you're thirty one and the
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: ad told you you either win this year, you're still
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: with us. If you don't win this year, like we'll
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: have to go on to somebody else. So that pressure
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: is always there, Like you said, did you feel it
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: a little bit more last year? Like your first few
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: years here, you have five wins or five losses, six losses,
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: you're kind of in that mid tier like kind of
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: average seasons. Knowing that so much money was being attacked,
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: was we're gonna be this nil team. We're gonna get
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: you as a head coach, knowing we're now in such
- 1:54:42Speaker 2: a different landscape like this is kind of a first
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: iteration of having twenty seven transfers or all these new
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: guys coming in, a lot of money's back in it.
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: Did you yourself feel a little bit more pressure on
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: last year now that you went twelve or what was
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: your record twelve and two? Twelve and two, now that
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: you went twelve and two and look back on and
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: be like, hell, yeah, we all guys, we figured this
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: shit out. Yeah we're gonna keep the pedals of the medal.
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: But last year, knowing that you've been fired from jobs,
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: you've missed out on jobs, whatever it is, like, did
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: you feel a little bit more pressure going into last year?
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: One hundred percent? And it wasn't the pressure for me, man,
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: I love this place, like you don't hear my name
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: out anywhere like you know, because most times, like I know,
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: you guys and different people will talk about different coaches,
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: but the majority of coaches' names are being pushed by
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: their agents. I mean that that's how the name and
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: my guys know, Alex knows man. Like, So the pressure
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: for me was how much I love this place. Man.
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: I am so fortunate because I get to work for
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: my friends like Kirby Holcut, my ad He's he is
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: a good friend of mine. We talk all the time,
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: but we do stuff outside of of you know, being
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: my boss. Dusty Womble is a good friend of mine. Cody,
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: we talked talk all the time. And so like the
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: amount of money and the amount of support they put
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: behind me, I didn't want to let them down. Like
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: it was more that than anything, you know, that that man.
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: I wanted to make those guys right, because those are
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: the same guys. They were three of them. There were more,
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: but they were three of them that chose me to
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: be their head coach. They were on the interview committee,
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: and they could have picked a lot of different people,
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: and so they they picked me. In so like that,
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: I want them to be right that they picked the
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: right guy. But then I also want them to be
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: right that that man going all in and putting your
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: you know, putting the money all in that we can
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: do it here at Texas Tech, you know. And and
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: so I think that was such a big, big part
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: of the pressure, you know. I mean, I'd be lying
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: to tell you if you mentioned the agent thing at
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: the at the top. If I'm here and you right,
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: it's you have a great relationship with all of them, yeah,
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: and you want to be at no other place. Yeah,
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: So knowing that in your shoes, in your chair, knowing
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: that agents can also if you can foresee if like
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: this could be the year where I have to put
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: up or shut up because of the average years, and
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: they want more out of it. I hell, you want
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: more out of it yourself. But knowing that I'm going
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: all in this year and agent like I don't want
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: my name floating around anywhere, you're kind of put you
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: kind of have yourself in a you know, adapt or die. Yeah,
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: like you have to figure it out. Or then you
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: say you have a bad year, you get canned, You're like, well, shit,
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: if I would have just if I would have known
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: that my relationships base here, if I would have gotten fired,
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: I could have started putting my name out there. But
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: you didn't want to because you only want to be here.
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: Am I hearing that? One hundred percent percent? You know
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: I said it on the day they hired me, and
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: and uh and an other couple of really funny conversations.
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: We can bring one up with Cody here in a second.
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: But man, like I'm a Texan, you know, I was
- 1:57:54Speaker 2: born here as a high school coach for twenty three years,
- 1:57:58Speaker 2: that's what my DNA is. Went to Baylor for five
- 1:58:02Speaker 2: And like, I don't want to coach outside of the
- 1:58:04Speaker 2: state of Texas, number one and number two. Like when
- 1:58:08Speaker 2: I die, I want people to say, man, he was
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: a great dad, you know, like, man, he loved his family.
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: That man he poured into his players, like he loved
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: his players, like they could always call him. Like at
- 1:58:24Speaker 2: the end, whenever they're standing up and the players are like, man,
- 1:58:27Speaker 2: it was never a time and they're telling jokes about you,
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: and you remember when coach did this, and coach did
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: this and this practice, like we talked about and everything.
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: But on the other side, whenever it comes to coaching,
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: I want people to say, this, dude did something that
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: nobody else had ever done. We did that at Cedar Hill.
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: You know, they had never won a playoff game in
- 1:58:46Speaker 2: the history of the high school. They started playing football
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty two. Who went sixteen and oh in
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: two thousand and six, won the first playoff game, won
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: them all. You know we left there is the winningest
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: coaching staff in the history of Cedar Hill football. I
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: know who I'm chasing. You know, Mike Leach is the
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: man in West Texas, you know, and he won eighty
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: four games and and uh they never won a big
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: twelve championship. We did that this year. So like stuff
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: like that. That also drives why I want to be
- 1:59:16Speaker 2: here at Texas Tech, you know, because I know that
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: they they've never done things that we can do. And that,
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: you know drives me too, as you know, on the
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: kind of maybe the I don't know, the arrogant side
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: or like the side of like the other side of
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: the competitor side. Yeah, the competitors side of like stuff
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: like that. You know, that's what I want to do.

- 2:00:21Speaker 2: you know, and we're still trying to work it out
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: because we love play Texas. You know, it's longtime rivalry
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: and in Texas, A and M longtime rivalry, you know,
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: both of them, just trying to figure out. You know,
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: we would love to, so if they got an opening.
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: And whenever I'm in Covid, I told my wife it
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: felt terrible. We're sitting on the backboards drinking a cup
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: of coffee and I said, baby, I love you, but
- 2:00:43Speaker 2: I'm never going to retire. And she goes, well why,
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: And I said, I can't do this, Like I've got
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: to be around the players, like I was getting depressed
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: on a zoom like zoom and my players because we're
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: we never knew when we were going back, you know.
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: So we're doing all the meetings and everything, and I'm like,
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: I can't do this, Like this isn't me. So I
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: always say I'll never retire. So if there's we can
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: schedule out, you know, how schedules are there twenty you know,
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: thirty two, twenty thirty five, I mean, whatever we have open, man,
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: We're ready to jump on. I don't feel like I'm
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: going to be here.
- 2:01:14Speaker 3: Yeah, dominate the state whin the state of Texas, You're
- 2:01:15Speaker 3: probably gonna win it all. Talk about being a dad
- 2:01:18Speaker 3: and you when you pass one years, when it's all over,
- 2:01:20Speaker 3: you gonna be recognized as a good father. Your your
- 2:01:23Speaker 3: son is on your staff with you. What is that
- 2:01:26Speaker 3: relationship like with him coaching him, being around the players.
- 2:01:29Speaker 3: If he messes up, how do you attack that as
- 2:01:31Speaker 3: opposed to attacking one of the coaches that aren't your blood.
- 2:01:34Speaker 3: It's got to be awesome in a lot of ways,
- 2:01:36Speaker 3: but very unique. Maybe some hurdle to jump over as well. Yeah,
- 2:01:40Speaker 3: really fortunate that he played for me, so you know,
- 2:01:43Speaker 3: I know some guys do. But like he was always
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: wanted to say coach, you know, So like if we're
- 2:01:49Speaker 3: in the car driving home, he would say dad, but
- 2:01:51Speaker 3: like in the building he'd always you know, say coach.
- 2:01:54Speaker 3: And still now and I treat him the exact same way.
- 2:01:57Speaker 3: My son's kind of an.
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: Ass like and I mean that in a very loving
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: and endearing like. I need that because he's one of
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: these guys that first he is he's a football geek,
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: you know. And I'm telling you right now. Being a
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: proud dad but also being a football coach, I'll put
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: him up on the board against anybody you can go get.
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: You can raise somebody from the ground, or you can
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: go get the guru McVeigh. I'll put him on right now.
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: That's my dude. I love Sean. I don't know Sean,
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: but I watch a lot of his stuff. I use
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: a lot of his stuff, and like I promise you
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: like him and Sean would geek out together, like you
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: know Garrett's I think that's why him and coach Rule
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: got so close, and it was a really cool how
- 2:02:40Speaker 2: that happened. But like my son, like he calls me
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: on anything that is not our standard and not what
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: Red Raider football is supposed to look like. So that's
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: a good thing. But it's awesome because mama's really happy,
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: you know, getting her baby back home. She's marrying he's
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: marrying a licoln girl. She was a cheerleader at Nebraska.
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: They met whatever he was at Nebraska, yeah, at least,
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: no doubt, you know. And and two college towns. So
- 2:03:10Speaker 2: she's really enjoyed love it because it's not you know,
- 2:03:13Speaker 2: we don't get as cold as as what it is
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: in Nebraska, but she's enjoyed that. But like he, uh,
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: it's great having him on staff. And then it's great.
- 2:03:22Speaker 2: It is great having him, you know, just being in
- 2:03:25Speaker 2: the building. And and man, he's not very old. He's
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: twenty seven years old, so you know that he really
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: I think I relate great to the players and everything
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: and have always been a player's coach. But you know,
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: he's he's got a really good ear to the locker room. Yeah,
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: it's all that stuff and everything like that, and so
- 2:03:46Speaker 2: you know, it helps me, and it's it's big to have.
- 2:03:48Speaker 3: Him in the building, really big to have in the building.
- 2:03:51Speaker 3: You you've brought up Matt Rerualle a couple of times. Yeah,
- 2:03:53Speaker 3: how good your relationship is. Yeah, his quarterback last year,
- 2:03:57Speaker 3: a lot of similarities between him and an ex Tech
- 2:04:00Speaker 3: Tech football.
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yeah. When he entered the transfer portal, a
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: lot of people were saying that this specific quarterback was
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: probably going to go to Texas Tech. And there was
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: a release.
- 2:04:07Speaker 3: I don't know who it was, but it's a Texas
- 2:04:10Speaker 3: Texas Patrick Mahomes. This Royola kid is not going to come.
- 2:04:14Speaker 2: To Texas Tech. Was that a conversation between you and
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: that rule. It was, you know, coach and I have
- 2:04:19Speaker 2: a a extremely like literally, I've seen him a text
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: the other day said, man, I just want to tell
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: you how much I love you, Like like, I wouldn't
- 2:04:26Speaker 2: be sitting here if it wasn't for working for Matt
- 2:04:28Speaker 2: Ruhle because the stuff that I didn't know about college football.
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: Literally within about three to four weeks, he brought me
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: in his office to say, hey, you're supposed to be
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: a coach. Let me show you how to do this stuff.
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: And it had nothing to do with football and nothing
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: to do with the locker room culture or anything like that.
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: It was all just like scholarships and managers or roster
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: and you know, academics and just all the stuff that
- 2:04:49Speaker 2: really in the high school side of it you didn't
- 2:04:52Speaker 2: have to go through because you were coaching who you
- 2:04:55Speaker 2: got and you know, stuff like that. And so he
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: and I like well talk all the time, and there
- 2:05:01Speaker 2: is like I even called him, like you think about this,
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: Garret McGuire is my son. I called Matt Ruhle and said, coach,
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: I would like to bring Garrett home. I would love
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: to hire him as my running backs coach. I wanted
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: it to be okay though that you're good with it
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: because we do have that relationship, Like you're you're gonna
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: have a deep conversation if a Red Raider is going
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: to be a Nebraska corn Husker, or if a Nebraska
- 2:05:29Speaker 2: corner Husker ever is in the transfer reportal on gonna
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: be a Red Raider, Like there's gonna be a real
- 2:05:34Speaker 2: conversation of two coaches and two guys that are brothers
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: that are like, you know, how is this is this
- 2:05:40Speaker 2: good for you? It's good for me? How's that gonna affect?
- 2:05:53Speaker 2: I think it was so that just busting, busting with
- 2:06:02Speaker 2: the bull, the buzzing. I like it busting there is
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: Like I called him and said, hey, coach, you're gonna
- 2:06:07Speaker 2: hear a lot of stuff just because the similarities and
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: stuff like that. I said, this is who we are
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: identified as the guys that we really like. If anything changes,
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: I'm definite I'm gonna give you a call, Like I
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: just have too much respect for coach like and there's
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: a lot of guys like that, man, I mean, you know,
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: are just coaches in general. If we'll reach out to
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: each other and have real conversations, I think that's where
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: Blanchard James Blanchard's done a really good job with talking
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: with He's made really good connections with different gms. So
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: there are conversations like that with them. But you know,
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: like I mean, I reached out with uh uh, I'm
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: trying to I locked up the new head coach at
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: k State, you know, and and said, hey, look, I
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: don't know what you're hearing, but we're you're not hearing
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: that's not coming out of our camp. Like that's that's
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: because here's the one thing we didn't talk about than
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: I L. We are the drivers of driving NI L
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: money up. From the standpoint of how we're being used.
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: Like if you like, if you come out, both of
- 2:07:11Speaker 2: you are coming out, you know, and you get in
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: the transfer portal, well, shoot, your agent's gonna say, hey,
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: yeah Texas text talking to them. Well all of a sudden,
- 2:07:19Speaker 2: the conversation changes and we half the time we're not
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: even talking to these kids, Like I have to call
- 2:07:24Speaker 2: a coach, Gil coach, We're not talking to this kid.
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: I don't care what their agent says. We're not. They're
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: trying to get you your money driven up. Brother. We
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: could have eight hours in city here and talk about
- 2:07:35Speaker 2: these fucking agents. Oh yeah, the agents.
- 2:07:38Speaker 3: Yeah, the amount of money they're taking from these kids,
- 2:07:40Speaker 3: the amount of things that are going going on.
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: Situations are like there's like like there's real guys, like
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like they're there are real
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: guys that are in this that understand and you know,
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: we all know they're in it because they they've got
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: real players or they've got guys that are going to
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: be they're good, they're keep growing, and they want an
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: opportunity after this also to represent them, just like you
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: had guys in the NFL. But then there's also a
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: collective of guys that like this is really happening. Like
- 2:08:13Speaker 2: I really don't care how many clients I have. It's
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: just a number system of like I'm taking ten percent
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: and maybe I have one hundred guys or more, and
- 2:08:21Speaker 2: it's just ten percent of whatever it is. So it
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: could be a number of ten thousand or it could
- 2:08:26Speaker 2: be and if I hit on a guy, it's even better.
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: So there, you know there are some guys out there
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: that that you know, it's it's uh, it's frustrating. That's
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: another thing. At some point, then when you have a
- 2:08:38Speaker 2: frustrating situation, you can't come off and be too frustrated
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: because you could still be doing business with them. Yeah
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: it's another guy. Yeah, Or you have guys on your
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: your your team that you know, use different guys that
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: are all using the same guy. You know.
- 2:08:51Speaker 3: Ten percent for a player is just I think crazy. Well,
- 2:08:56Speaker 3: if it's a full agency, it could they could be
- 2:08:58Speaker 3: asking a multi family homes up what they're also doing
- 2:09:00Speaker 3: your finances. That's just that's why it's That's one thing
- 2:09:04Speaker 3: like when we start talking about regulations and stuff like that,
- 2:09:07Speaker 3: Like that's the thing that we've got to get to,
- 2:09:09Speaker 3: like when we're talking about you know, their salary cap,
- 2:09:12Speaker 3: the agents are regstored just like in the NFL stuff
- 2:09:17Speaker 3: like that.
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: Because I will tell you all this, I'll be the
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: first one and I don't deal with agents. I don't
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: I know what all my guys make. I have the spreadsheet,
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: but my GM does everything whenever it comes to negotiations
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: and everything like that. But you know, whenever you we
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: would rather deal with agents like then an uncle or
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: even a mom or dad, Like we would rather deal
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: with somebody that's in this world, you know, because at
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: least they do have some sense of maybe they're driving
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: a price up, but they still have some sense of
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: what this player's worth nil value eyes and so at
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: least you're you're not saying it's some crazy for the
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: most part, some crazy number. That's like, man, like, I
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: don't know where you're getting that from, but that's not
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: the world we live in.
- 2:10:13Speaker 3: Yeah, understanding the market and the value of the individual player. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:10:17Speaker 3: let's talk about uh, let's say about the Big twelve.
- 2:10:20Speaker 3: There's last year it was, I mean, as of right now,
- 2:10:23Speaker 3: everyone's kind of saying big ten seca and then everybody else.
- 2:10:27Speaker 3: What needs to happen in the Big twelve for you
- 2:10:29Speaker 3: guys to put yourself from a national standpoint, the conference
- 2:10:33Speaker 3: up with the big dogs.
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: Well, you know, TC did it, TCU did it whenever
- 2:10:37Speaker 2: they beat Michigan. Okay, now I'm sorry.
- 2:10:40Speaker 9: That was that.
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: I was not aimed at you, whoa all of a sudden.
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: My my point behind saying that because we have to
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: win in the playoffs. We have to win in the playoffs,
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: because all right, I'm also of this opinion that if
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: Georgia and Alabama or Michigan in Ohio state were in
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: the Pac twelve, the Pac twelves still would exist, like
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: you've gotta you gotta to me understand that there are
- 2:11:15Speaker 2: schools that carry the Big Ten in the SEC, you know,
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: And I know, like I was so fired up that
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: Vandervelt won this year, man that I mean, how great
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: is that? And then their head coach is a stud man.
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: I don't know him very well, but I've started getting
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: him because we're on some committees together and fired up.
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: But like there are top heavy and all of a sudden,
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: the top heavy conference of like Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia,
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: you mixed put Texas in there for sure. Then all
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: of a sudden, like this is the greatest conference there is,
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: you know, and and you know, I think there's some
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: of that. The patch on their jersey gets way too
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: much credit. It didn't happen this year, but let's go
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: back to last year. The Pac twelve won the Big Ten.
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: So Oregon won the Big Ten two years ago, and
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they had a patch on their
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: jersey that made the Big Ten a better conference, you know,
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: or made them a better team because they're in the conference.
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: You know, Texas was a Big twelve team that played
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: in the SEC championship. So like all of a sudden,
- 2:12:21Speaker 2: they changed patches in their team change. So I understand
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: the SEC and the Big ten and appreciate it and
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: respect them. For us to be where we need to be,
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: we've got to win up. We've got to win in
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: the playoffs, like we've got to go win in the playoffs.
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: And it was disappointing that we didn't play well on
- 2:12:41Speaker 2: offense that day to have a better showing, because defensively
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: played lights out like that was one of the best
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: defensive games that all year long. We just I mean,
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: because you think about how many times we were putting
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: such bad situations and still stayed in that game. We
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: didn't play well, you know on the offense. Yeah, the
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: score definitely doesn't indicate the full sixty minutes. Did you
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: feel some type of way when they went and scored
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: late in the game. No, I love Dan, I get it.
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: I think he would rethink that. You know that that
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: place where he's running back broke his collar bone. I
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: will tell you this, Like, uh, I learned something off
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: of that game. I learned a lot and we're still learning.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: But like I did learn that no matter what's going on,
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: and no matter what how you feel about the dude
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: a cross from you if you got that game one. Uh,
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: maybe not early in the season because you you know
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: that you're trying to still move up and all the
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: pretty points and all that stuff is real. People can
- 2:13:37Speaker 2: say it's not, but it is. But whenever you're in
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: that game and you've got that game won and you've
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: got a game to play the next week, danfully, but
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: if you you have like if you have that game
- 2:13:51Speaker 2: one man, niel the ball and get to the next game.
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: Like really, so we one thing we haven't talked about.
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: We have an analytics company that we work really hand
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: in hand with and there was a point in the
- 2:13:59Speaker 2: sea and that they said, look, you've done enough, just
- 2:14:03Speaker 2: win the game and get your guys out. Like literally,
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: you're going if you now we couldn't lose enough to
- 2:14:10Speaker 2: solidify as fut in the playoffs. Yeah, Like they were like,
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: you can't lose, but if you've got the game under control,
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: get David Bailey out of the game, get Jacob Rodriez
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: out of the game. Like some of that and so
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: some of that I didn't, you know, I mean, they
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: kicked their tails man, And I think it's funny though
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: that how short sighted or are how our minds forget?
- 2:14:37Speaker 2: You know, like everybody, even Dave Campbell, which is the
- 2:14:40Speaker 2: bible of Texas high school football, even their group that
- 2:14:43Speaker 2: they do the college, they were like, yeah, they got
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: boat race, and I'm like, and they keep saying the
- 2:14:47Speaker 2: Big Twelve, the Big Twelve, and I'm like, Oregon was
- 2:14:50Speaker 2: the number one team in the nation in twenty twenty
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: four and it was thirty four to seven at halftime
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: in that same bowl game. It was just at the
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: Rose Bowl, and so like nobody wants to talk about
- 2:15:02Speaker 2: that because they were in a different conference versus it's
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, you know, and so some of that stuff.
- 2:15:08Speaker 2: At the end of the day, we gotta win, all right,
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: we gotta win in the playoffs. You know, we want
- 2:15:12Speaker 2: it to be us, but whoever's in that spot, and
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: if it's multiple spots, then we got to win in
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: the playoffs to solidify ourselves in a different light.
- 2:15:22Speaker 3: Yes, you guys, it's like essentially for the Big twelve
- 2:15:24Speaker 3: to start getting the weight of the patch. It doesn't
- 2:15:26Speaker 3: have to be like Texas Tech clearly is holding the
- 2:15:28Speaker 3: way you guys went. You went, and he played a
- 2:15:30Speaker 3: competitive game against Oregan, but you need like your BYU,
- 2:15:33Speaker 3: your Utah Houston. You need these other schools to kind
- 2:15:37Speaker 3: of also be what seems like more competitive and have
- 2:15:40Speaker 3: multiple teams in the playoffs so.
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: That way the conference can carry some weight as well. Yeah,
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: because there was an argument last year that b YU
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: could have been in the college for the playoffs. Yeah,
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: because a certain conference protected another team in their conference.
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: I won't say their name. Alabama kind of got carried
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: into the playoffs when they just got boat racing there
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: in their conference championship game.
- 2:15:57Speaker 3: I think that is a great comment. Letting to a
- 2:16:00Speaker 3: good question is if you are only have one if
- 2:16:04Speaker 3: you only have one loss in a season, you go
- 2:16:06Speaker 3: play the BAG twelve championship and you lose that game,
- 2:16:09Speaker 3: and let's say you get blown out, Yeah, do you
- 2:16:12Speaker 3: deserve to be in the playoff at that point?
- 2:16:13Speaker 2: If I get blown out? I don't think I do.
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: Now if i'm it's competitive, I'm saying the opposite. That
- 2:16:22Speaker 2: was your argument. Oh gotch I get blown out, but
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: liked they b b A pretty good but the Alabama
- 2:16:28Speaker 2: getting in they got But I was pushing, man, I
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: was pushing BYU because I thought they mean they lost
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: to one team. You know and and so it just
- 2:16:36Speaker 2: happened to be twice, but they lost to one team.
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: And and uh, I was pushing b YU because where
- 2:16:42Speaker 2: I was really pushing those years before. It was embarrassing
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: that they didn't get in because if you want to
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: talk about it, and I love rhet lastly, so this
- 2:16:49Speaker 2: is nothing about I have I get myself of trouble
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: like I got myself of trouble with the Catholics. I
- 2:16:54Speaker 2: love the Catholics, right, But I said something about Notre
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: Dame and the next thing, you know, I'm the like
- 2:16:59Speaker 2: I told Freeman. I said, man, I'm the anti like.
- 2:17:06Speaker 2: But with it was embarrassing to b why you didn't
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: get in the year before because they beat SMU head
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: to head at SMU and then SMU got in the
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: playoffs and they didn't even win their conference. So you
- 2:17:18Speaker 2: should have gone back to that game because I believe
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: they had the exact same record. You should have gone
- 2:17:24Speaker 2: back to that game and said, okay, who should have
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: got in? It was the same thing with Miami and
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and Miami got in, B why you should
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: have got in the year before? You know? And so
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: so are you the stance that Notre Dame should have
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: been in the playoffs. I would have picked I would
- 2:17:38Speaker 2: have put Miami in the playoffs because of the head
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: to head. You know, my stance for Notre Dame. I
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: just you know, that's my stance is everybody should be
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: in the conference, yeah, period, Like, like you can't you
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: can't have no matter if you think the SEC is
- 2:17:55Speaker 2: better than the Big twelve or the Big ten or
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: whatever AC whatever that is. You can't have a metrics
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: that you're playing this way and then somebody else gets
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: to play this way. I agree, I don't. I don't
- 2:18:10Speaker 2: think that's like the same like, so don't complain about it.
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: You know, if you don't get in, and that's the
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: Notre Dame fans are gonna get pissed off. They'll be
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: mad about that. But it's a that's just my thoughts.
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: It's your opinion.
- 2:18:24Speaker 3: But also like if you don't want, like you obviously
- 2:18:27Speaker 3: have a luxury being an independent school because you have
- 2:18:29Speaker 3: to essentially choose who we want to play. And their
- 2:18:31Speaker 3: schedule last year was Miami and Texas A and m
- 2:18:35Speaker 3: They lost those two games and the rest of their
- 2:18:37Speaker 3: schedule was, you know, schedule an acc schedule so at
- 2:18:43Speaker 3: the end it's like, yeah, you guys hurt yourself because
- 2:18:45Speaker 3: you're not in a conference. If you were in a conference,
- 2:18:46Speaker 3: let's just say it was the a SEC, they would
- 2:18:48Speaker 3: have probably been in the champs they been in the championship.
- 2:18:50Speaker 3: And if you're in the championship, you play Miami and
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: then you have to finally figure out who's in it.
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: So I agree, we're the committee messed up was having
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: Notre Dame so high when the rankings first came out.
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: That's because they've manipulated this cy them to push Notre
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: Dame out.
- 2:19:01Speaker 3: If that is if the committee clearly it's so much
- 2:19:04Speaker 3: of a publicity move to have, like this is committee.
- 2:19:07Speaker 2: Don't I like it? I love it? And this is
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: what I love about y'all. You are great, Like I'm
- 2:19:17Speaker 2: so glad you are doing this the same way with Josh,
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: Like I love this stuff. I listen to it all
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: the time and everything, and you know, uh, turn on
- 2:19:25Speaker 2: when I get in the get in the building, I
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: turn on barstool. It is great for it is so
- 2:19:31Speaker 2: good for college athletics and so good for college football.
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: Because you guys have played it. You get it, you
- 2:19:37Speaker 2: get you wore jocks, like going back to Kirby, like
- 2:19:40Speaker 2: you get it. So whenever you're talking about this stuff,
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: it it does like it is real, Like we weren't
- 2:19:45Speaker 2: in the room, but guys, this is what happened. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:19:49Speaker 2: we weren't in the room. But let's be we know
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: what happened.
- 2:19:52Speaker 3: What happened, like having the A people and then having
- 2:19:56Speaker 3: the College Football Poll. Obviously it's gonna get click. It's
- 2:19:59Speaker 3: can to make money because people are going to talk
- 2:20:01Speaker 3: about it. That's what you want circling around college football.
- 2:20:03Speaker 3: But if they would have just came out with the
- 2:20:05Speaker 3: bracket that they ended up with, there's not these arguments
- 2:20:08Speaker 3: going on right now.
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: We're just like, hey, you messed up. Take accountability, right,
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: don't try to be like we really hard to started
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: to look at the head that head It's like bullshit.
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: You weren't looking at the head of head ahead until
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: it just made sense in your mind. And then Alabama
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: got blown out in the championship game. So you got
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: to figure out, Okay, we can't let you know. We
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: got to reward teams for being in the championship game. Well, okay,
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: b YU is in the championship game. They were sitting
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: in the same stature with the only reason a one team,
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: and you kind of just mess yourself up by just
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: being like, hey, we mess this up. Miami obviously proved it.
- 2:20:37Speaker 2: They made it, they made it to the Natty, but
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: it's like, hey, we messed up. Here's where we went wrong.
- 2:20:42Speaker 2: Like people just want to hear the accountability. And this
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: is without even getting into the G five conversation. I
- 2:20:47Speaker 2: just leaving two slots in there and you're like, what
- 2:20:49Speaker 2: do we what are we doing? You don't have to
- 2:20:51Speaker 2: comment on that, but just for me, like this is
- 2:20:55Speaker 2: a whole reason that we need to blow this thing
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: up because one thing whenever you're sitting there and you
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: said the AP pole, Like the reason we have the
- 2:21:02Speaker 2: ap poles because we've always had the AP pole, the
- 2:21:05Speaker 2: reason that we have Bowl games in certain places because
- 2:21:08Speaker 2: we've always had Bowl games in certain places. Like I
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: respect and totally I'm a traditionalist in a lot of ways,
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: but man, I don't want a twenty five day layoff
- 2:21:19Speaker 2: and the most important game that I could play in
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: my entire life. And so the reason we don't is
- 2:21:24Speaker 2: because we're still doing the stuff that we've always done.
- 2:21:28Speaker 2: We're not fixing anything we're not fixing. Like for me,
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: if you disagree that there should be twenty four teams
- 2:21:34Speaker 2: in the playoffs, you're right, But that's the only way
- 2:21:37Speaker 2: it's going to blow up because then they have to
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: fix it. Like if you go sixteen, TV's like, hey,
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: we've got that built in. You go twenty four, it doesn't.
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: And until we blow it up from the TV perspective
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: and reshuffle this whole thing, we're gonna have. Signetti's the
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: only dude that's been able to do it in two
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: years and he won it all. He's the only guy
- 2:21:58Speaker 2: that's figured out how to have a twenty five day
- 2:22:01Speaker 2: layoff and still win. Yeah, you know, man, And so
- 2:22:05Speaker 2: schedule is brutal. Yeah, even this next year the Natties
- 2:22:09Speaker 2: twenty Yeah, Man, Vegas, that's just not what what a
- 2:22:12Speaker 2: place for the Red Raiders to go visit? Man, you're
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: talking about a fan base. If y'all want to party
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: for you can find out where we're playing a bowl
- 2:22:20Speaker 2: game and you come to that party. I love that
- 2:22:24Speaker 2: ar corn Huskers national title. That all in man, if
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: we can make that happen, golet's book us maguire. Yeah,
- 2:22:31Speaker 2: now that Debbie's on this side, she'd feel better because
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: she was so worried. Uh it was two years ago.
- 2:22:37Speaker 2: She was so worried that we're going to match up
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: in a bowl game. And she's like, oh my god,
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm gonna do. Because Garrett was
- 2:22:42Speaker 2: on that staff. I said, you're gonna root for your husband, baby,
- 2:22:45Speaker 2: that's what you're gonna do. What would the points might
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: be right now between ten and second and Embrasco who
- 2:22:53Speaker 2: think good? Who can even call it? Right now? I
- 2:22:55Speaker 2: think he's be really good. Ain't be really good? They
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: got some. I think it'd be like twenty and a half. Oh,
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: I don't know, man, got your hammering the house? Yeah,
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: plus one and a half. I think it's I think
- 2:23:10Speaker 2: you already admitted you're the underdog. Know I'm saying you
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: are the one who said that got us favorite, But
- 2:23:16Speaker 2: we all know I got us favorite. I'm delusion.
- 2:23:18Speaker 3: I love it, No, man, I love it right, ride man,
- 2:23:21Speaker 3: ride with Nebraska. Yeah, Nebraska and Texas Tech and in
- 2:23:24Speaker 3: the National Championship would be a site to see. It
- 2:23:27Speaker 3: would be it would be a sight to see.
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: It would be awesome one hundred percent, be a disruptor
- 2:23:31Speaker 2: in college football, there's no doubt about it. So you're
- 2:23:34Speaker 2: saying the way to disrupt it all is to go
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: to like a twenty fourteen play it is because that's
- 2:23:37Speaker 2: the only way unless everybody says, okay, TV, come back
- 2:23:41Speaker 2: to the table, let's fix this broken system of no
- 2:23:47Speaker 2: y'all think about this. Man, We went sixteen and oh
- 2:23:50Speaker 2: and we played our state game on December twenty third,
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: and we still played sixteen games. Like we're sitting playing
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: on January twenty fifth, and we're sitting there saying we're
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: playing the same amount of games, and so why like
- 2:24:06Speaker 2: why it's because you know you're it's not a buye.
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: You don't get to buy. I said, hey, we want
- 2:24:12Speaker 2: to buy, and I started thinking, this is not a buye,
- 2:24:14Speaker 2: Like this is this is starting camp all the way
- 2:24:17Speaker 2: back over right, Like that's where honestly we're thinking about
- 2:24:20Speaker 2: it right now. Like I had to go to a deal.
- 2:24:23Speaker 2: It was to our drive to Tamillo and me and
- 2:24:25Speaker 2: my chief of staff literally planned out, Okay, if we're
- 2:24:28Speaker 2: in the playoffs next year and we have a twenty
- 2:24:30Speaker 2: five playoff, maybe we should start camp all the way
- 2:24:33Speaker 2: back over and like install every three days. We're doing this,
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: like totally take it away that we just got through
- 2:24:40Speaker 2: playing a season, but take it that we're back into
- 2:24:43Speaker 2: camp and now we're going to do it season twoing
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: something like that, because so if you go twenty fourteen TV,
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: it forces TV back and now you're probably eliminating not
- 2:24:52Speaker 2: probably you're eliminating the conference championships and you're doing it
- 2:24:57Speaker 2: just like FCS. But you think about it, high school
- 2:25:00Speaker 2: football they play every seven days. The NFL they play
- 2:25:05Speaker 2: every seven days. FCS, man, it's worked for a long time.
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: They play every seven days. Like you would get back
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: to having your if you wanted to stretch it out
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: a little bit, you could at least get back to
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: having your national championship around like the eighth or ninth
- 2:25:19Speaker 2: instead of the twenty fifth, where I'm trying to find
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: where my seniors' lease was up and where they're gonna
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: live for a couple of weeks because we're in the playoffs.
- 2:25:31Speaker 2: Like w Ever talks about that, we're playing us a
- 2:25:35Speaker 2: fall sport in the in the winter, in spring semester.
- 2:25:39Speaker 2: Football is not supposed to be played that way. College football,
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: the NFL is, but college football is supposed to be over.
- 2:25:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you want like if college will go more to
- 2:25:47Speaker 3: like NFL where it's like, hey, best record in the division,
- 2:25:50Speaker 3: you guys, you guys are champions. Yeah, this is your seed.
- 2:25:53Speaker 3: Now you go in like conference championship's done. That's your
- 2:25:56Speaker 3: bye week for your one, two, three, and four seed.
- 2:25:58Speaker 3: The next week after that you're in playing. Yeah, and
- 2:26:01Speaker 3: you're finish up the game January first. Yeah, the national
- 2:26:05Speaker 3: championship could always be on January first, no doubt. And
- 2:26:07Speaker 3: then you're just all the way through because then the
- 2:26:08Speaker 3: by we actually mean something, yeah, as opposed to getting
- 2:26:11Speaker 3: all this time off, it does seem like a very
- 2:26:13Speaker 3: broken It seems like we're in the process of an
- 2:26:15Speaker 3: evolution of college football and we just won't give up
- 2:26:18Speaker 3: this last thing because of the Rose Bowl and.
- 2:26:20Speaker 2: The Sugar It's funny. Literally, when you said January first,
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: I was like, I guess we're gonna have to play
- 2:26:25Speaker 2: in the Rose Bowl every year because we won't give that.
- 2:26:28Speaker 2: They won't even give that slot up. And it's truly like.
- 2:26:30Speaker 3: The purest the like the history with the mountains and
- 2:26:34Speaker 3: the sun going down all of it. It's it's incredible,
- 2:26:38Speaker 3: it absolutely But when I was as I was playing.
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: The Rose there's so much change happening in college football,
- 2:26:44Speaker 2: feels like those are the couple of things you can
- 2:26:45Speaker 2: latch onto, Like you're not going to take this from us, right,
- 2:26:48Speaker 2: We'll been the need of understanding the bigger picture. But yeah,
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: which is okay if we if we don't, if we
- 2:26:54Speaker 2: cut the twenty five days down, and let's say you're
- 2:26:56Speaker 2: still having the Rose Bowl. And then but if the
- 2:27:00Speaker 2: Rose Bowl is a semi final game, are they gonna
- 2:27:03Speaker 2: have to move that date because it didn't align with
- 2:27:06Speaker 2: or is the I don't know. This is Rose Bowl
- 2:27:08Speaker 2: always gonna be a quarterfinal game and they never get
- 2:27:11Speaker 2: the semi finals because the semifinals is not right now
- 2:27:14Speaker 2: on January first? Are they gonna you know, like, let
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: me ask you this, how do you feel about by
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: teams that have a buy and not having a home game? Yeah?
- 2:27:24Speaker 2: I loved what Dan said. Lanning and I'm a big fan.
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: We've played twice, he's beat me twice, so I'm owing
- 2:27:30Speaker 2: two against Lanning and and but I really he's a bright,
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: young coach that I think is carrying college football. Like,
- 2:27:40Speaker 2: you know, I still think I'm really young and have
- 2:27:42Speaker 2: as much juice as he is. But I'm an older guy,
- 2:27:45Speaker 2: and so like guys like that, you know, you want
- 2:27:48Speaker 2: really good coaches to kind of carry on college football.
- 2:27:52Speaker 2: He's definitely got a big voice, and I loved what
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: he said. He goes, Man, we should have been playing
- 2:27:56Speaker 2: in Lovewock, Texas. We shouldn't have been playing in the
- 2:27:58Speaker 2: Orange Bowl. We should have been playing of Texas for
- 2:28:00Speaker 2: this second round game. Man. I think at the end
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: of the day, Man, I think it'd be incredible, and
- 2:28:05Speaker 2: it'd be incredible for this town, you know, and and
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: uh and just this fan base, and it'd be a
- 2:28:11Speaker 2: great environment.
- 2:28:12Speaker 3: That's one of the things that make the NFL so
- 2:28:14Speaker 3: much fun is like when the playoffs hit, Yeah, and
- 2:28:16Speaker 3: you have to go into the whole field, Yeah, Kansas City,
- 2:28:19Speaker 3: and it's freezing outside, and it's like, how is this
- 2:28:21Speaker 3: team going to handle the elements? Like that's like that's football, yeah,
- 2:28:25Speaker 3: instead of just seeing you know, and.
- 2:28:27Speaker 2: You can get it that a way and it's gonna
- 2:28:28Speaker 2: get I mean, there's no doubt, guys, it's gonna get there.
- 2:28:31Speaker 2: It's just like the tough thing on the competitive side.
- 2:28:35Speaker 2: The calendar's not moving fast enough, you know. And at
- 2:28:39Speaker 2: the end of the day, I always look at the
- 2:28:40Speaker 2: NCAA and like, what can we get right that we're
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: probably not gonna get sued over. This is one of them,
- 2:28:48Speaker 2: Like they could fix all of this and and you
- 2:28:52Speaker 2: know you're not getting sued over that, and it would
- 2:28:53Speaker 2: be a win for everybody. I agree. Yeah, let's get
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: back to some uh some tech. I was the ball
- 2:29:00Speaker 2: book right now. Other boys looking at this early in
- 2:29:02Speaker 2: spring fired up, man like, uh, you know, I know
- 2:29:06Speaker 2: we're gonna be good on defense, you know. And we
- 2:29:07Speaker 2: got some really good pieces back. We got six starters back,
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: and then we added some good guys. But uh, Swersby's
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: a dude, man Like, he's a he's a player. Yeah,
- 2:29:17Speaker 2: he's a pol He really fits in this offense, you know,
- 2:29:24Speaker 2: and and so I'm excited about him. But where we're
- 2:29:27Speaker 2: we got three starters in the offensive line back our
- 2:29:30Speaker 2: right tackle, left tackle, and center, and I think all
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: of them are NFL prospects without a doubt. And then
- 2:29:36Speaker 2: great competition at left guard. We got a veteran that
- 2:29:41Speaker 2: was out last year, that's back Hunter's Ambrono. And then
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: we got a kid from uh Louisville and the transfer portal,
- 2:29:47Speaker 2: Jordan Church. And then we've We've recruited at a really
- 2:29:51Speaker 2: high level in the offensive line with our young guys,
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: and man, you went up front like, you know, you
- 2:29:56Speaker 2: would have loved to play behind that defensivelyn last year.
- 2:29:59Speaker 2: You asked us linebackers like they were just like, hey, look,
- 2:30:02Speaker 2: we're just going to figure out where Lee was going. Yeah,
- 2:30:05Speaker 2: and then we were just going to fit off a
- 2:30:06Speaker 2: Lee Hunter. No matter what the defense said, we were
- 2:30:09Speaker 2: fitting off a Lee Hunter. Like if he was gonna
- 2:30:11Speaker 2: too gap it or whatever, he was like, we're gonna
- 2:30:14Speaker 2: fit off of him. That's kind of on the offensive
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: side because we got two really good running backs back,
- 2:30:19Speaker 2: only two running backs in the country that were thirteen
- 2:30:22Speaker 2: hundred yard all purpose running backs. Got those two guys back,
- 2:30:26Speaker 2: adding a kid back in June that towards ACL that's
- 2:30:30Speaker 2: really good. So that side of the ball. As excited
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: as I was about the defense last year, I'm so
- 2:30:37Speaker 2: excited about the offense. Man, Like they're coming together and
- 2:30:41Speaker 2: now it's really honestly, like, you know, we talk about
- 2:30:46Speaker 2: it all the time, like I'm a big you know,
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: example of how you practice, you know, and we talk
- 2:30:51Speaker 2: all the way like, hey, if you want to play
- 2:30:52Speaker 2: in the NFL for a long time. You better learn
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: how to practice, because that's a quick wave. You're not
- 2:30:56Speaker 2: a first round draft pick to get your butt in
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: trouble and get cut if you can't practice the right
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: way and you're on the ground. And we talk about
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: it all the time. It's like the other day in
- 2:31:03Speaker 2: one on one, Uh, Danny seal Man had a good
- 2:31:07Speaker 2: block against I think it was Adam or tray Trey
- 2:31:09Speaker 2: White and uh, you know he ended up on the
- 2:31:11Speaker 2: ground and Adam Daniel Danny's reaching his hand out to
- 2:31:16Speaker 2: help him up. You know, little things like that I
- 2:31:19Speaker 2: watched for all the time because two weeks ago he
- 2:31:22Speaker 2: might have won that rep and not helped him up.
- 2:31:24Speaker 2: You know, just like went back like how are they
- 2:31:27Speaker 2: connecting as a team? And really mean, I know it's
- 2:31:33Speaker 2: coaches talking about all the time, but iron sharping's iron
- 2:31:35Speaker 2: Like are they sharpening each other but also taking each
- 2:31:38Speaker 2: other taking care of each other at the same time.
- 2:31:40Speaker 2: And so it's it's a fun group to be around there.
- 2:31:44Speaker 2: It's it's very very explosive off and then very explosive offense.
- 2:31:51Speaker 2: And then Sowresby changes everything's with his feet, you know,
- 2:31:54Speaker 2: and and when that's gonna happen. Probably early in the
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: season's gonna be more with him scrambling. We probably won't
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: have a lot of quarterback run game in the game plan,
- 2:32:05Speaker 2: you know. Early that's just you take care of Yeah,
- 2:32:09Speaker 2: just take care of him. Not a lot of quarterback
- 2:32:10Speaker 2: run games. Yeah, then you hit him with the quarterback
- 2:32:12Speaker 2: go down right, you're playing chess. You look at him. Man,
- 2:32:15Speaker 2: a lot of stuff y'all saw him live, but a
- 2:32:17Speaker 2: lot his his runs were so effective, as was scrambles.
- 2:32:21Speaker 2: He pulled round one down. We were working red zone
- 2:32:23Speaker 2: the other day and he pulled one down the other
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: day and took off, and I was like, well, that
- 2:32:27Speaker 2: dude's different. And he's two hundred and thirty eight pounds
- 2:32:29Speaker 2: right now, so you're like, yeah, he has really move
- 2:32:33Speaker 2: and he running behind his pads. Yeah. I have a
- 2:32:36Speaker 2: question for any coaches or like young coaches, or any
- 2:32:40Speaker 2: coach that could be going through a transition. I was
- 2:32:42Speaker 2: reading an article on you that I want to say,
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: ESPN did back in when you came to Texas Tech,
- 2:32:49Speaker 2: and it was like everybody knew in the committee or
- 2:32:52Speaker 2: the deep state of Texas Tech knew like you were
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: the guy when they hired you and you were reflecting
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: back at the time when you didn't take the UTSA
- 2:33:01Speaker 2: head job, and you're real curious. I want to say
- 2:33:04Speaker 2: you might have been in correct me jump in at
- 2:33:06Speaker 2: any time too and correct me if I'm wrong. But
- 2:33:08Speaker 2: you're talking with the Baylor AD and like, hey, if
- 2:33:10Speaker 2: I take this UTSA job, my gut tells me coach
- 2:33:12Speaker 2: Rule could be leaving to go to the NFL. So
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: this could be a shot of like leaving. And if
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: I leave and the Baylor job opens up, will I
- 2:33:20Speaker 2: be able to interview to become the Baylor head coach
- 2:33:22Speaker 2: because you'd love to be the Baylor head coach. And
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: based on that conversation with the Baylor A D, he
- 2:33:26Speaker 2: had a relationship with the UTSAA D and said, I
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: couldn't do that to that AD if you go and
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: take the UTSA head job. So you thinking, okay, knowing
- 2:33:36Speaker 2: all of these things my gut, even though coach Rule
- 2:33:38Speaker 2: and your agent said hey, you should go take this
- 2:33:40Speaker 2: head job, this might be the only one you get.
- 2:33:41Speaker 2: That's how you start breaking through the glass of being
- 2:33:44Speaker 2: a head coach in college football. You chose to not
- 2:33:47Speaker 2: listen to that advice, bet on yourself to stay at Baylor.
- 2:33:50Speaker 2: When coach rule leaves, you interview for the Baylor job.
- 2:33:53Speaker 2: Maybe you didn't interview for the Baylor job, but that's
- 2:33:54Speaker 2: when they hire Randa to come in, and then you're
- 2:33:57Speaker 2: essentially on the staff with the new head coach. Like
- 2:34:00Speaker 2: what was take us through that framework? For any coach
- 2:34:03Speaker 2: that could be listening, that could be seeking advice, say
- 2:34:05Speaker 2: they go through something like that to where you almost
- 2:34:07Speaker 2: have to have like an ego death. That's like, yo,
- 2:34:09Speaker 2: I fucking didn't take the UTSA job. Part of me
- 2:34:12Speaker 2: you battle with the entitlement, but part of it feels like, hey,
- 2:34:14Speaker 2: I've earned the opportunity to have a good interview. I
- 2:34:17Speaker 2: felt like you telling me to not take it was
- 2:34:19Speaker 2: you might be hiring me as the head coach of Baylor.
- 2:34:21Speaker 2: It doesn't happen. You remain an assistant at Baylor before
- 2:34:24Speaker 2: you get this job. But I just wanted to like
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: talk to that story. I thought it was fair crushed it.
- 2:34:29Speaker 2: You told it perfectly, like like, hey, y'all were talking
- 2:34:34Speaker 2: about that he was just a meat head linebacker. Was
- 2:34:37Speaker 2: that what you're saying article? Yeah, but I was infatuated
- 2:34:43Speaker 2: with reading that. Now it's a hundred percent ride, like
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: you know, man, I've been really fortunate to have great mentors,
- 2:34:50Speaker 2: and then I've been really fortunate of just being still
- 2:34:53Speaker 2: like like that so many times in live this just
- 2:34:58Speaker 2: didn't coaching, but there's so many times that like you're
- 2:35:01Speaker 2: one step away from getting everything you want and then
- 2:35:05Speaker 2: you're like and it ain't happened fast enough, so you
- 2:35:07Speaker 2: go do something else. And you literally were right there,
- 2:35:09Speaker 2: like just so being able to be still. He told me,
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: he said, look, if you take this job, I'm not
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: gonna if that happens hypothetically again, Me and coach are close,
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: so I knew what was going on, and so I was.
- 2:35:21Speaker 2: I went home to Debbie and I said, listen, I'm
- 2:35:24Speaker 2: gonna hate myself. Man. I love that team. I was
- 2:35:26Speaker 2: a part of recruiting it. I knew how good we
- 2:35:29Speaker 2: could be, and so I was like, I'm going all in.
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: And I came in second. The running joke with Texas
- 2:35:35Speaker 2: Tech fans. I always tell him you didn't get the
- 2:35:37Speaker 2: second place, coach, man, You're like, you got the guy,
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: So just trust that. But you know, I was fortunate
- 2:35:43Speaker 2: a couple of ways. Dave Randa came in and he said, man,
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: I want you to stay in this business, man, if
- 2:35:50Speaker 2: you interview for a job, like even in two thousand
- 2:35:52Speaker 2: and three Whinever our interview for the cedar Ill job,
- 2:35:55Speaker 2: I was like, man, if I don't get this job,
- 2:35:56Speaker 2: I'm not gonna because I was an assistant on that
- 2:35:59Speaker 2: staff and I'm not going to get to stay because
- 2:36:01Speaker 2: you're you're moving on. Most head coaches, you know, don't
- 2:36:05Speaker 2: have the confidence to keep you in theirselves, or maybe
- 2:36:08Speaker 2: they think the locker room's gonna gravitate one way or
- 2:36:10Speaker 2: the other. And coach ran to ask me to stay,
- 2:36:13Speaker 2: and uh, man, I went home and I literally was like,
- 2:36:15Speaker 2: I'm not staying. I'm not I can't do this because
- 2:36:18Speaker 2: you're pissed off. Right, I was pissed. I was hurt,
- 2:36:21Speaker 2: I was I wanted it so bad. I thought I
- 2:36:23Speaker 2: did a great job in the interview and and uh
- 2:36:28Speaker 2: he asked me to stay, and so I said, well,
- 2:36:30Speaker 2: give me a week. I talked to a couple of
- 2:36:32Speaker 2: people I was actually going to owe you. I was
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: I was going to go work for coach Riley at
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: a defensive end job opening. So I was going to
- 2:36:39Speaker 2: go work for coach. And I came in to Garrett
- 2:36:42Speaker 2: and I said, hey, listen. This was a senior year.
- 2:36:44Speaker 2: I said, hey, I think I'm gonna take the oe
- 2:36:47Speaker 2: you job. And he said, man, awesome. I've always wanted
- 2:36:50Speaker 2: to hurt and learn Lincoln's offense. And I was like,
- 2:36:53Speaker 2: hold on, man, this is your senior year. We just
- 2:36:56Speaker 2: got to playing in the Sugar Bowl. We just got
- 2:36:58Speaker 2: to playing for the Big Twelve championship. We got beaten overtime.
- 2:37:01Speaker 2: Nine offensive starters were coming back. I mean, this is
- 2:37:04Speaker 2: a good team. I said, don't you want to stay
- 2:37:07Speaker 2: with your boys like this is it? You've only got
- 2:37:10Speaker 2: a semester because he was going to graduate, you know,
- 2:37:12Speaker 2: in January. And he goes, Dad, I am not staying
- 2:37:16Speaker 2: here if you're not. And that's when the dad comes in,
- 2:37:20Speaker 2: because I literally said I went talked to Debbie again,
- 2:37:24Speaker 2: and I came to Garrett and I said, look, what
- 2:37:26Speaker 2: do you want to do? And he said, you know
- 2:37:27Speaker 2: what I want to do. These are my guys. I
- 2:37:30Speaker 2: want to stay here, he said, but I'm not staying
- 2:37:32Speaker 2: You're not, and so I said, I'm going to stay.
- 2:37:34Speaker 2: I'm gonna go talk to coach Randa. So I went
- 2:37:35Speaker 2: to talk to coach Randa and he kept me and
- 2:37:38Speaker 2: then Coach Rule was going to hire me because man,
- 2:37:40Speaker 2: the twenty twenty season for COVID and everything and just everything,
- 2:37:44Speaker 2: we went two and seven and it just wasn't good
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: and and and not because of coach Randa wasn't good.
- 2:37:50Speaker 2: But like I was really struggling, like, man, I should
- 2:37:54Speaker 2: be in front of this team and and so coach
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: Rule is going to hire me. With Carolina and my
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: agent Alex Hammond, he said, how good can y'all be?
- 2:38:03Speaker 2: And coach had made some changes, and we still had
- 2:38:06Speaker 2: all these guys coming back. We had, especially on the
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: defenside of treberonar Jalen Petree, two freaking dudes or like
- 2:38:13Speaker 2: my little brothers. They zoom for my team the other day,
- 2:38:17Speaker 2: both of them separately, Like those are my guys. So
- 2:38:20Speaker 2: we had guys coming back, and I said, we're gonna
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: be really good. Uh. He hired Eric Matteos in the
- 2:38:26Speaker 2: offensive line, and he hired Uh, he's the O c
- 2:38:30Speaker 2: AT for Wisconsin Badgers. Uh, Jeff, And and he was like,
- 2:38:37Speaker 2: I said, there, we're gonna be good. He goes, you
- 2:38:38Speaker 2: need to stay then because your wheelhouse is Texas. And
- 2:38:42Speaker 2: he said, there's three jobs that have a big possibility
- 2:38:45Speaker 2: opening up, and I think you've got an opportunity, an
- 2:38:48Speaker 2: interview for all three of them, and that's what you want.
- 2:38:50Speaker 2: If you leave, it's great for your resume. But if
- 2:38:53Speaker 2: y'all can win, well man, we won the Big twelve,
- 2:38:56Speaker 2: you know. But I'd left right before we did. But
- 2:39:01Speaker 2: the two of the three didn't open, and the one
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: that I really wanted opened and it was Texas Tech,
- 2:39:07Speaker 2: you know, And so it was. It was a couple.
- 2:39:09Speaker 2: Like I always tell coaches, I'm I'm always I'm really open. Uh,
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: like the three people that are never shut out of practice,
- 2:39:19Speaker 2: Any parents that want to come to practice of my
- 2:39:21Speaker 2: players can come. We never close practice to parents. We
- 2:39:25Speaker 2: never close practice to boosters. I mean, I've got my
- 2:39:29Speaker 2: safety two years ago. CJ Basketball, he works for Double Egal,
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: he works for John and Cody. So we want to
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: create these networks with these boosters whenever these guys are dying.
- 2:39:39Speaker 2: And then I never closed it to close it to
- 2:39:42Speaker 2: high school coaches. We got UH South Carolina staff in
- 2:39:46Speaker 2: UH High School Hammond. We've got a North Carolina staff in.
- 2:39:49Speaker 2: We've got a new Mexico staff in. And then we
- 2:39:52Speaker 2: got our clinic to Wor'll have two hundred plus coaches
- 2:39:55Speaker 2: here this weekend, so we're always open. And then I
- 2:39:58Speaker 2: always try to mean really open with coaches. If they
- 2:40:01Speaker 2: text me, email me, call me about stuff of like,
- 2:40:04Speaker 2: I'll at least give them what I think. And I
- 2:40:06Speaker 2: just had There's been moments, and honestly in my career,
- 2:40:10Speaker 2: what's funny is the times that I've turned jobs down
- 2:40:14Speaker 2: the next year is absolutely sucked. Like I'm at Cedar
- 2:40:18Speaker 2: Hill's an assistant Sam Harrell Graham Harrold's dad, he's one
- 2:40:22Speaker 2: of my mentors. He calls me it's early June and
- 2:40:25Speaker 2: he says, I want you to come be my d
- 2:40:27Speaker 2: line coach. And I said, well, I've already committed to
- 2:40:30Speaker 2: coach Wood, who is Woods, who was our head coach
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: at Cedar Hill. I can't do that. I'm not going
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: to do that. I can't go back on my word.
- 2:40:37Speaker 2: And the next year we went like two and eight
- 2:40:40Speaker 2: and they won the state championship, and I'm like, you know,
- 2:40:45Speaker 2: like what am I doing? But it's always like I
- 2:40:46Speaker 2: always tell young coaches, man, we got you gotta be patient,
- 2:40:50Speaker 2: and there's sometimes you got to freaking take it. But
- 2:40:54Speaker 2: if you're working for a good person and no matter what,
- 2:40:58Speaker 2: if you can grow in that situation, man stick where
- 2:41:01Speaker 2: you're at, Like if you the growing can suck, but
- 2:41:05Speaker 2: you're good. It's stuff you need to learn. It's stuff
- 2:41:08Speaker 2: that you got to go through to get to where
- 2:41:10Speaker 2: you really want to be, you know. And so even
- 2:41:13Speaker 2: the stuff going through twenty twenty with COVID and and
- 2:41:16Speaker 2: us not winning and me not being the head coach,
- 2:41:18Speaker 2: I still learned a lot you know that I still
- 2:41:20Speaker 2: use and carry with us today. Yeah, it's so interesting
- 2:41:24Speaker 2: that like the grind of being a football player for
- 2:41:26Speaker 2: or coach. Yeah, it's so important just be present and
- 2:41:30Speaker 2: sometimes like doing nothing is the right answer. It is.
- 2:41:32Speaker 2: There's got to be one of the more difficult things
- 2:41:34Speaker 2: for coaches to understand and and follow through on because
- 2:41:36Speaker 2: you feel like you should always be on to the
- 2:41:38Speaker 2: next thing. Yeah. So yeah, should we ask uh the
- 2:41:41Speaker 2: hardest question of the day. But let we have some
- 2:41:43Speaker 2: tier talk? Oh do we have tier talk? I believe
- 2:41:45Speaker 2: we have some tiar talk. Yeah, oh we got them.
- 2:41:50Speaker 2: We've got some tiar talk from fans out there that
- 2:41:51Speaker 2: when we hear from from coaching back. Let's see here.

- 2:43:10Speaker 2: you know, but that would be awesome because we still
- 2:43:12Speaker 2: get criticized with for schedules that were made, you know,
- 2:43:16Speaker 2: ten years before I was ever here. You know some
- 2:43:19Speaker 2: of that stuff like that. You you know, you get
- 2:43:21Speaker 2: criticized on your schedule and you're like, man, this has
- 2:43:23Speaker 2: been scheduled out for you know, the the games that
- 2:43:27Speaker 2: we're playing right now, they were scheduled out before I
- 2:43:29Speaker 2: got here. Yeah, you're more put the ball down any place,
- 2:43:32Speaker 2: any time, anywhere, any place. Uh.
- 2:43:34Speaker 3: This one comes from Trevor dot Deshan ask him about
- 2:43:37Speaker 3: if any new rivalries are emerging within the Big Twelve
- 2:43:40Speaker 3: and how Texas Tech could solidify themselves as one of
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: the top schools in the conference now.
- 2:43:46Speaker 2: That OU and U T are gone. Yeah. The two
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: two of my favorite to play, and we we don't
- 2:43:51Speaker 2: get to play one of them this year. That are
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: new robberies. B YU love love playing that. We're one
- 2:43:56Speaker 2: and we're two and one against them. They beat us
- 2:43:59Speaker 2: when we went to their place, and I don't know
- 2:44:01Speaker 2: if either one of you got the opportunity to play
- 2:44:02Speaker 2: at b YU, but it is elite, like it is
- 2:44:06Speaker 2: an elite place. It is loud. Their students section is
- 2:44:11Speaker 2: sober and they freaking going nuts like kids. And Klinie
- 2:44:17Speaker 2: is one of my favorite dudes. Like I love Klanie.
- 2:44:20Speaker 2: We've got to hang out because of the Big Twelve,
- 2:44:22Speaker 2: but we're repped by the same guy, so we've got
- 2:44:24Speaker 2: to hang out a lot together. And then the other
- 2:44:26Speaker 2: guy that I really like. I think he's great for
- 2:44:28Speaker 2: college football. He's very vocal is Arizona State, and Kenny
- 2:44:33Speaker 2: Dilly and I are are one because we're high school
- 2:44:37Speaker 2: coaches before. And then one of his guys, Todd Graham,
- 2:44:41Speaker 2: you know, he came up with him and then with
- 2:44:43Speaker 2: Norville and Northville is the Texas guy, and so I
- 2:44:46Speaker 2: knew those guys really well from recruiting Cedar Hill. But
- 2:44:50Speaker 2: we're one in one against them, and they've been absolute wars,
- 2:44:53Speaker 2: Like we had an absolute war out here with old
- 2:44:57Speaker 2: Scataboo and uh Man, that was that was. We We
- 2:45:00Speaker 2: got after him pretty good. That was. That was a
- 2:45:02Speaker 2: great game, minus one swing pass and then uh we
- 2:45:06Speaker 2: went to their place, you know, and they beat us.
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: We're throwing the ball in the end like a true
- 2:45:10Speaker 2: legit hell Mary that they beat us right there at
- 2:45:13Speaker 2: the end. You know what I we respect so much
- 2:45:14Speaker 2: about them too, is because they expected to beat us,
- 2:45:18Speaker 2: because you know, you talk about the pressure and all
- 2:45:20Speaker 2: this stuff. I was just waiting for, you know, like
- 2:45:23Speaker 2: we have great we have the best social media creative
- 2:45:25Speaker 2: team in the world, and you know we kind of
- 2:45:27Speaker 2: get a little we'll throw like when we beat Dana
- 2:45:32Speaker 2: the first year Hogerson, we do a little red Bull
- 2:45:34Speaker 2: crushed red Bull on social media, you know like that,
- 2:45:38Speaker 2: so you know, you take shots and literally, like I
- 2:45:40Speaker 2: was just waiting for a school if they had a
- 2:45:42Speaker 2: chance to beat us, like what their social media team
- 2:45:45Speaker 2: would come with with the money and all that stuff.
- 2:45:47Speaker 2: And you know, Arizona State they beat us and they
- 2:45:51Speaker 2: didn't do anything anything fly games. He is getting us
- 2:45:55Speaker 2: in our own money. But it was really cool because
- 2:45:58Speaker 2: they expected to win because they were the big twelve
- 2:45:59Speaker 2: chance year before.
- 2:46:00Speaker 6: So what.
- 2:46:01Speaker 2: And you know they did rush the field. But that's awesome.
- 2:46:04Speaker 2: That's great for their fan base. But you know, I
- 2:46:06Speaker 2: respect that. But those two, like the two new rivalries
- 2:46:11Speaker 2: and Arizona's States got to come to us and we'll
- 2:46:14Speaker 2: have our piss hot for that game. I know, I
- 2:46:15Speaker 2: know Kenny will have his crew ready to go. I
- 2:46:18Speaker 2: went to high school Kenny. Yeah, yeah, grow up in Arizona.
- 2:46:20Speaker 2: It's just cool to hear that yeah about a SU
- 2:46:22Speaker 2: because when I was going up at a SU it's like, yeah,
- 2:46:24Speaker 2: you go here if you want to party. Yeah, And
- 2:46:26Speaker 2: now it's like, this is a school that tough and
- 2:46:29Speaker 2: dilly he had the year that they won the Big Twelve.
- 2:46:32Speaker 2: Like who was coaching their spring.
- 2:46:34Speaker 3: Game with the scattered was on his team dealing So
- 2:46:38Speaker 3: Dillingham like, uh, my head coach in high school. He
- 2:46:42Speaker 3: was a special teams coach, Dillingham and we went to
- 2:46:43Speaker 3: the high school together. So they're like, hey, when you
- 2:46:46Speaker 3: get here, we're going to give you are ones and
- 2:46:48Speaker 3: then Will's gonna have like two's guys you know that
- 2:46:51Speaker 3: are you know trying to you know, get on special
- 2:46:53Speaker 3: team and stuff like that. So we're going to put
- 2:46:54Speaker 3: you in a situation to win.
- 2:46:55Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't. I thought it was even no, and
- 2:47:01Speaker 2: they gave you know, yeah, yeah, if you had they
- 2:47:08Speaker 2: beat us. Yeah, one won the Spring Bowl. This kid,
- 2:47:11Speaker 2: you went up to the fourth course. I went up
- 2:47:12Speaker 2: to him in the second half and I was like, hey, listen.
- 2:47:14Speaker 2: I I know the coaches are saying that they're going
- 2:47:16Speaker 2: to sit you and stuff. I know this is a
- 2:47:17Speaker 2: spring game. I know you're ready to go hang out
- 2:47:19Speaker 2: with the ladies and everything else. But we're running the
- 2:47:21Speaker 2: football this time. Second half. We got to win this game.
- 2:47:23Speaker 2: You don't understand how how badly I need to beat
- 2:47:25Speaker 2: that man. You see him sitting over there with that goofy. Yeah,
- 2:47:28Speaker 2: we gotta beat him. He started twitching a little bit.
- 2:47:30Speaker 2: You knew he was ready to go. He started going.
- 2:47:33Speaker 2: I was like, oh god, he's he he Uh. Playing
- 2:47:38Speaker 2: against him was awesome, and it we had because we
- 2:47:41Speaker 2: had the all time leading rusher on our side, Todd Brooks.
- 2:47:45Speaker 2: It was a war man. And then this last year
- 2:47:47Speaker 2: was a war and Sam and really Jordan Tyson man,
- 2:47:51Speaker 2: they they, you know, had a couple of plays that
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: were just unreal to beat us.
- 2:47:55Speaker 3: I know your relationship is probably not as good with
- 2:47:58Speaker 3: Dilli Ham as it is with Matt Ruhle. But when
- 2:48:00Speaker 3: Sam levit's in the portal and you're essentially a value
- 2:48:02Speaker 3: witting quarterbacks that we want to get. I'm sure Sam
- 2:48:05Speaker 3: was on a list of some sort we love that
- 2:48:06Speaker 3: we have sores by but was there of for a
- 2:48:08Speaker 3: conversation with Dilly him.
- 2:48:10Speaker 2: We talked, we did He's you know, there's a few
- 2:48:12Speaker 2: guys like Jeff Trailer at UTSA. I'm always going to
- 2:48:16Speaker 2: call him high school coach for a long time and
- 2:48:18Speaker 2: him I are really good friends and rule I always
- 2:48:22Speaker 2: I talk to him a lot about just stuff that's
- 2:48:24Speaker 2: going on. But Kenny's a guy that I will text
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: a lot or I'm watch him. I listened to a
- 2:48:30Speaker 2: lot of his stuff. I'll watch his games. His coaching
- 2:48:32Speaker 2: staff's a really good coaching staff. They they had a
- 2:48:36Speaker 2: great game plan against us. They did a great job.
- 2:48:38Speaker 2: So I listened to his stuff and I'm always texting, going, man,
- 2:48:42Speaker 2: are sending him something? He said, going your one hundred
- 2:48:44Speaker 2: percent right, or I'll reach out to him. So we
- 2:48:47Speaker 2: did talk about like you know who this person is
- 2:48:49Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Does the BYU's head coaches named
- 2:48:52Speaker 2: Klona does Colonie? I don't know how much you guys
- 2:48:54Speaker 2: banter or joke around, but does he ever just send
- 2:48:56Speaker 2: you a photo of the coach of the year. Oh
- 2:48:59Speaker 2: he God, just put a knife into it. But I
- 2:49:06Speaker 2: appreciate it. The one. Okay, here's my deal, And we
- 2:49:08Speaker 2: actually changed this, and I'm I'm gonna bring it up
- 2:49:10Speaker 2: in the Big twelve meetings and maybe it doesn't fly.
- 2:49:14Speaker 2: But you know, when I was in high school and
- 2:49:15Speaker 2: you did all district and everything, so you had a
- 2:49:18Speaker 2: district coach of the year, and uh, we actually changed
- 2:49:21Speaker 2: it because the the thing to me, when you're the
- 2:49:24Speaker 2: coach of the year, it's really not that you're the
- 2:49:26Speaker 2: coach of the year, it's your staff. And so that's
- 2:49:29Speaker 2: what bothered me more than anything that my staff should
- 2:49:32Speaker 2: have been represented, like the like if they're going to
- 2:49:34Speaker 2: say I'm the coach of the year, I'm the coach
- 2:49:36Speaker 2: of the year because my staff, you know what I'm saying,
- 2:49:38Speaker 2: And so like maybe it should be okay, you're going
- 2:49:41Speaker 2: to coach the year, maybe there should be a staff
- 2:49:42Speaker 2: of the year two because that was more than anything
- 2:49:45Speaker 2: whenever in the meeting when it came out, I mean
- 2:49:48Speaker 2: I did in our staff meeting, go, you know, we
- 2:49:51Speaker 2: should because we're getting ready to play them again. You're
- 2:49:53Speaker 2: always looking for something, you know. Verymyer told me last
- 2:49:57Speaker 2: last spring I got to be on their show and
- 2:50:01Speaker 2: I asked him, I said, coach more than anything. At
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: the end of this I want to ask you a
- 2:50:05Speaker 2: couple of questions. I asked mark Ingram the same thing,
- 2:50:07Speaker 2: and he said, Man, find things, even if you have
- 2:50:10Speaker 2: to make them up. Find things to piss people off,
- 2:50:12Speaker 2: you know, going into games. I said, okay, I got you, coach,
- 2:50:15Speaker 2: and I went in our staff meeting. I said, I
- 2:50:16Speaker 2: guess y'all suck. I guess I suck, and y'all all suck.
- 2:50:20Speaker 2: You know we're sitting here and we won twenty nine
- 2:50:22Speaker 2: to seven. Whenever they came in here, it took them
- 2:50:25Speaker 2: a whole half to get across the fifty yard line.
- 2:50:28Speaker 2: But we sucked because he's the coach of the Year
- 2:50:30Speaker 2: and so that was going into the Big Tour Championship
- 2:50:32Speaker 2: game of like, hey, let's stir the pot, poke the bear,
- 2:50:36Speaker 2: get coach Wood a little fired up. Yeah you know,
- 2:50:39Speaker 2: and so love that. Oh he's looking for that. But yeah, man,
- 2:50:41Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of his.
- 2:50:43Speaker 6: Man.
- 2:50:44Speaker 2: He's a stud. He he's another guy put the ball
- 2:50:46Speaker 2: down like he'll play anybody. Yeah you know that, guess
- 2:50:50Speaker 2: is me up. I have one here, not a question
- 2:50:52Speaker 2: because you've already done this, but from three three seven
- 2:50:55Speaker 2: TC underscore, just talk to him about his Cedar Hill days.
- 2:50:58Speaker 2: He is a freaking Texas high school football legend. Bro
- 2:51:01Speaker 2: So just three three seven TC just wanted to let
- 2:51:04Speaker 2: you know that you're a football legend. Yeah, that's awesome.
- 2:51:07Speaker 2: I do have one here from TJ Underscore andres twenty one.
- 2:51:12Speaker 2: Do you think there's any benefit in scheduling tougher non
- 2:51:15Speaker 2: conference opponents in today's college football landscape? So it's interesting,
- 2:51:23Speaker 2: I'll get I'll get all kinds of might as well.
- 2:51:25Speaker 2: I've already got the Notre Dame pissed off at me.
- 2:51:28Speaker 2: But like, and I'm of the opinion that like Texas
- 2:51:33Speaker 2: didn't get in the playoffs because they got beat by
- 2:51:35Speaker 2: the Ohio State. Like you you could that game was okay,
- 2:51:38Speaker 2: that was a great game, and it was right down
- 2:51:40Speaker 2: to the end. You know where you can't get beat
- 2:51:45Speaker 2: as you can't get beat like we got beat by
- 2:51:48Speaker 2: Arizona State and they were the defending Big Twelve championships.
- 2:51:51Speaker 2: You can't get beat by a team that you're not
- 2:51:53Speaker 2: supposed to get beat by. You can't get beat by
- 2:51:56Speaker 2: a team that doesn't have a winning record. Like That's
- 2:51:59Speaker 2: what said operates, Like where you're sitting there and you're
- 2:52:02Speaker 2: talking in that committee and we're talking about all that stuff.
- 2:52:04Speaker 2: That's where you almost eliminate yourself, Like there's you can't
- 2:52:08Speaker 2: tell me and I don't know, I wasn't in the room,
- 2:52:10Speaker 2: but you can't tell me that that was the reason
- 2:52:13Speaker 2: that Texas didn't get in the playoffs. They got beat
- 2:52:16Speaker 2: by Ohio State at that point, at one point they
- 2:52:19Speaker 2: were doing that, Ohio State was undefeated. So how was
- 2:52:22Speaker 2: that a bad loss? Even though it was a loss
- 2:52:25Speaker 2: which always weird bad loss, good loss, But like you
- 2:52:28Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, So like, isn't it like a
- 2:52:31Speaker 2: similar argument to Miami Notre Dame though, yeah it is,
- 2:52:34Speaker 2: but they played head to head, so like you eliminate
- 2:52:37Speaker 2: that again, But I got nothing against Miami. To me,
- 2:52:42Speaker 2: it was the deep state of the committee in college
- 2:52:44Speaker 2: football that squeezed out Ure Dame because one thing I
- 2:52:46Speaker 2: failed to mention. But Miami's not even in the game
- 2:52:49Speaker 2: if Duke doesn't win the ACC championship. Yeah, yeah, not
- 2:52:54Speaker 2: even Yeah that was just one more and I'm I'm
- 2:52:58Speaker 2: with you one hundred percent with that. But I will
- 2:53:00Speaker 2: tell you I'm glad they were because man like that
- 2:53:03Speaker 2: run and getting to see like Bain and the way
- 2:53:05Speaker 2: he played with hair on fire, and just like the
- 2:53:09Speaker 2: whole me, it's great for college sports. When you start
- 2:53:12Speaker 2: talking about too like I don't know if it was
- 2:53:15Speaker 2: I know, have no idea, but did you give up
- 2:53:17Speaker 2: on back and that's why he transferred or whatever you
- 2:53:19Speaker 2: got this other I don't know. I wasn't in the building,
- 2:53:21Speaker 2: so I have no idea. But it's a good story
- 2:53:23Speaker 2: the way he really played and performed in some big situations.
- 2:53:28Speaker 3: Yea, the non conference games are difficult, but you see,
- 2:53:31Speaker 3: I I will tell you this, toughcakes to me.
- 2:53:35Speaker 2: If you blow up the if you blow up the calendar, right,
- 2:53:39Speaker 2: how about putting the bowl games. I'm not talking about
- 2:53:41Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl, orf, yes, but how about putting you
- 2:53:43Speaker 2: want it, you wanted the bowl games to be back
- 2:53:46Speaker 2: to really cool games. Put them at the first of
- 2:53:49Speaker 2: the year. Let the bulls pick. Nobody's opting out and
- 2:53:53Speaker 2: then fans are You're going to sell out that stadium,
- 2:53:55Speaker 2: which never happens in bowl games because all the fans
- 2:53:59Speaker 2: are so hungry for Week one football that they're going
- 2:54:03Speaker 2: to travel wherever in that bowl game. And then you
- 2:54:06Speaker 2: have a legitimate, you know, game of in a ball
- 2:54:09Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, I mean it's kind
- 2:54:10Speaker 2: of it's kind of cooking. They've kind of done that too,
- 2:54:13Speaker 2: right with because we talked about has Peton talked about that.
- 2:54:17Speaker 2: I'm want to tell Josh that he might have heard
- 2:54:19Speaker 2: that from me, but he has the commissioner, and the
- 2:54:22Speaker 2: commissioner has heard that. Yeah, I mean has said that.
- 2:54:25Speaker 2: You're the commissioner's commissioner. But the if you think about
- 2:54:29Speaker 2: because what is going to happen? We know this and
- 2:54:31Speaker 2: that's why the pushback. But when you go to a
- 2:54:33Speaker 2: bigger playoff, the playoffs start taking over the importance of
- 2:54:38Speaker 2: that month, and so now the bowl games become less
- 2:54:42Speaker 2: and less. Put him in the front of the season.
- 2:54:45Speaker 2: I like it. It'd be awesome. Yeah, I do like
- 2:54:48Speaker 2: that idea. You are big, you you signed on. You
- 2:54:50Speaker 2: publicly said Josh pat should be the commissioner of college football.
- 2:54:53Speaker 2: I think maybe we could do a three man commissioner.
- 2:54:56Speaker 2: Y'all three get together and put it together.
- 2:54:58Speaker 5: Is that go?
- 2:55:00Speaker 2: I don't know if we I don't think we hate
- 2:55:01Speaker 2: that at all, hate that at all.
- 2:55:03Speaker 3: And you definitely don't want a dictator and you can't
- 2:55:04Speaker 3: have two because what if there is fifty to fifty?
- 2:55:06Speaker 2: It was nice to have three. Yeah, nice, have three?
- 2:55:08Speaker 2: And I think I don't know, like Josh's he could
- 2:55:10Speaker 2: be the face. Let him be the face. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 2:55:13Speaker 2: we'll just sit in the background and be like we
- 2:55:14Speaker 2: agree or disagree. Yeah, let me let me text you
- 2:55:15Speaker 2: Coach mcguarth real quick. Also, Coach McGuire didn't say it
- 2:55:18Speaker 2: would be us, but he did say there could be three.
- 2:55:21Speaker 2: We just assumed. Oh yeah, I guess you're right. I
- 2:55:23Speaker 2: might have got a text from Pate saying, hey, just
- 2:55:25Speaker 2: remember like, don't disclose how much I paid you to
- 2:55:29Speaker 2: uh you go to that. So but man, I just
- 2:55:35Speaker 2: like that's the whole deal, Like we've got I mean,
- 2:55:38Speaker 2: they just added Gus smells On into the room, which
- 2:55:41Speaker 2: is awesome. I'm glad he did because that's a ball coach.
- 2:55:44Speaker 2: He's going to get it. But why not add somebody
- 2:55:46Speaker 2: that is like in it every single day that that's
- 2:55:49Speaker 2: all they do all day long? What you got there's
- 2:55:55Speaker 2: not like he's got a little bit of bamba bias. Yeah,
- 2:55:57Speaker 2: but that's it. Though I think he can keep that
- 2:55:59Speaker 2: at Bay.
- 2:56:00Speaker 3: I don't think he can. You saw the way it
- 2:56:01Speaker 3: got toward the end of the year. Yeah, he got
- 2:56:03Speaker 3: over the room yea Indiana Alabama. He's like, I've already
- 2:56:05Speaker 3: bet the money line. How that worked out for you?
- 2:56:08Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.
- 2:56:09Speaker 3: This one comes from Double Eagle fan Philip. If he
- 2:56:12Speaker 3: could bring any rule into college football, what would it.
- 2:56:15Speaker 2: Be, any rule into college football? Man, Well, they eliminated, uh,
- 2:56:22Speaker 2: suspending a guy from targeting. That was huge change, That
- 2:56:26Speaker 2: was great. And that's a great question because I love,
- 2:56:31Speaker 2: I absolutely love college football, like where it's at. I'll
- 2:56:34Speaker 2: tell you going to the replay more of the replay
- 2:56:38Speaker 2: system of the NFL, And I'm of the opinion that
- 2:56:43Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six that the little monitors should be
- 2:56:47Speaker 2: gone from every replay. Like you're talking to somebody in
- 2:56:52Speaker 2: the ear. You've got monitors everywhere. Surely you could say hey,
- 2:56:55Speaker 2: look we can see this, and you've got officials the
- 2:56:58Speaker 2: replay like that. But well, the extibeddity replay for college
- 2:57:01Speaker 2: football would be awesome, you know, to where we could
- 2:57:04Speaker 2: help out some of that. That'd be a rule that
- 2:57:06Speaker 2: I'd be in favor of. I like that. Okay, this
- 2:57:11Speaker 2: is this is one for my little brother, My little
- 2:57:14Speaker 2: brother White Compton. He is he got his first head
- 2:57:16Speaker 2: coaching job North Kenny High School. Our all of our
- 2:57:19Speaker 2: Alma mars Well, we all grew up, we went to
- 2:57:20Speaker 2: high school. He's now the head coach. First job as
- 2:57:23Speaker 2: a head coach. Love it, and Jesse kirktail here was
- 2:57:25Speaker 2: asking him how he was able to establish a successful
- 2:57:28Speaker 2: culture at Cedar Hill when he first took over as
- 2:57:30Speaker 2: head coach could be helpful for Wyatt. So first, if
- 2:57:34Speaker 2: White wants anything, man, I have everything anything on a
- 2:57:37Speaker 2: jump drives and hard drives that I've ever done, you know,
- 2:57:40Speaker 2: because whenever I left, I literally was like, Okay, I'm
- 2:57:43Speaker 2: not going to try to reinvent the wheel of I
- 2:57:45Speaker 2: don't like college football. I come back to high school,
- 2:57:47Speaker 2: so I kept everything. But man, I'm going to tell you,
- 2:57:50Speaker 2: and people ask me this all the time. Two things. One,
- 2:57:54Speaker 2: we start everything with love, like the power of love.
- 2:57:59Speaker 2: That's and it's tough love. It's like everything real love.
- 2:58:04Speaker 2: We started everything with that. And people ask me, all
- 2:58:09Speaker 2: these athletes that you coach, now, do you have to
- 2:58:12Speaker 2: treat them different? If you start with that, you don't.
- 2:58:15Speaker 2: I talk to people nineteen ninety four, whenever I first
- 2:58:17Speaker 2: stepped on the grass to coach in Crowley, Texas, I
- 2:58:21Speaker 2: talk to that freshman defensive end the way I talk
- 2:58:25Speaker 2: to Trey White the exact same way, because they know
- 2:58:28Speaker 2: where I'm coming from. They know that I'm trying to
- 2:58:31Speaker 2: make them the best version of themselves. And we both
- 2:58:33Speaker 2: are competitors and we want to win. And there is
- 2:58:36Speaker 2: a way to play football, and when you both close
- 2:58:39Speaker 2: your eyes, you know what it looks like. And if
- 2:58:41Speaker 2: it's not looking like that, and something's wrong and we've
- 2:58:43Speaker 2: got to address it and we've got to attack it.
- 2:58:45Speaker 2: But really, honestly, like I tell my guys, they hear
- 2:58:48Speaker 2: it all the time. I tell them all the time
- 2:58:50Speaker 2: how much I love them, how much I care about them,
- 2:58:53Speaker 2: And then I also tell them, like, dude, I love
- 2:58:54Speaker 2: you so much, you're not going to act like that
- 2:58:57Speaker 2: or you're not going to do this, and especially if
- 2:58:59Speaker 2: you want this kind of money, and bro, this is
- 2:59:02Speaker 2: the way we act. And it's we've done that, like literally,
- 2:59:06Speaker 2: that's I think that's the I don't know if the
- 2:59:09Speaker 2: magic I've been a part of some great things, So
- 2:59:11Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the magic of what we do is
- 2:59:14Speaker 2: these guys genuinely know we care about them and we're
- 2:59:16Speaker 2: all in this together. If you can get that, man,
- 2:59:19Speaker 2: you you guys have been in a great locker rooms.
- 2:59:20Speaker 2: You've been in locker rooms like people thought you couldn't
- 2:59:23Speaker 2: do things that then y'all were able to do them
- 2:59:26Speaker 2: as a team. That's the key, man, I mean you,
- 2:59:28Speaker 2: the best teams you've ever been on is because the
- 2:59:31Speaker 2: culture that you have between the coaches and the players
- 2:59:33Speaker 2: and in that locker room. Yeah, you gotta gotta get
- 2:59:38Speaker 2: that hard drive. Yeah got I can't, man, I gotta
- 2:59:41Speaker 2: take care of you. You va giant. I'll be in
- 2:59:43Speaker 2: his text. Yeah, if I can't get your number all through,
- 2:59:49Speaker 2: what are you playing? We'll both be nervous.
- 2:59:53Speaker 3: Coach, we know that anyone would do anything for an
- 2:59:56Speaker 3: ice cold bud light. Yeah, what's something they you would
- 3:00:00Speaker 3: do anything for? Can't say family?
- 3:00:02Speaker 2: Oh, national championship. As long as I don't have to
- 3:00:05Speaker 2: go to Hell, I'm in. That's it. That's it. The
- 3:00:14Speaker 2: boys telling me about loving culture. He's standing to me.
- 3:00:17Speaker 2: I'm getting I love you. I don't know if this
- 3:00:20Speaker 2: was here before you got here. Oh no, you just
- 3:00:22Speaker 2: built these facilities. But I did see, like back in
- 3:00:25Speaker 2: one of your old stories, like somebody telling you, I
- 3:00:27Speaker 2: want to say it was maybe the Cedar Hill days
- 3:00:29Speaker 2: on build it first for like the vision. Start with
- 3:00:31Speaker 2: the vision, start with the belief, and then fill the
- 3:00:33Speaker 2: trophy case. Because the boys Ben and John and Austin
- 3:00:37Speaker 2: were showing us, walking us through and they showed us
- 3:00:39Speaker 2: a slot whereas his full trophy case got all these trophies,
- 3:00:42Speaker 2: but there's one spot that day and there's a marker
- 3:00:44Speaker 2: on it and said, we're saving that for the national title. Yeah,
- 3:00:47Speaker 2: I believe. And that didn't come from uh from Ted Lasso.
- 3:00:51Speaker 2: I got the picture to prove it. Two thousand and five.
- 3:00:55Speaker 2: Chris Boyd, he's the wide receivers coach at South Lake Carrol.
- 3:00:59Speaker 2: He was my off coordinator and we missed the playoffs
- 3:01:03Speaker 2: in two thousand and four. Two games we could have
- 3:01:06Speaker 2: got in literally a fair and of tip like a
- 3:01:08Speaker 2: linebacker from Lamar. If he would have clipped his fingers
- 3:01:10Speaker 2: that day, we would have won that game and got
- 3:01:12Speaker 2: in the playoffs. He tipped it right at the end
- 3:01:14Speaker 2: and I can still see that play and he got
- 3:01:19Speaker 2: these blocks that spelled out believe and we didn't have
- 3:01:22Speaker 2: any trophies and he put that. We put that in
- 3:01:25Speaker 2: the trophy case. And then a little picture of Old
- 3:01:28Speaker 2: Cowboy Stadium because that's where we'd play round one, and
- 3:01:31Speaker 2: that was the Belief And then I told that story
- 3:01:34Speaker 2: why I'd put believe in on the my old office
- 3:01:37Speaker 2: and then my new office. But I told that story,
- 3:01:39Speaker 2: and our assistant ad got me that block and put it.
- 3:01:44Speaker 2: He said, here you go, man, you can go put
- 3:01:46Speaker 2: that in the trophy room. And so if you walk
- 3:01:49Speaker 2: in there, there's a little big block and says believe.
- 3:01:52Speaker 2: And that was there, and we had a block for
- 3:01:54Speaker 2: the Big twelve Championship and we were able to move it.
- 3:01:57Speaker 2: We moved it one over and put the Big twelve
- 3:01:58Speaker 2: Championship in there, you know to do that. So, yeah,
- 3:02:01Speaker 2: it's waiting for Ted Last. Yeah, wait for Tad Last. Yeah.
- 3:02:05Speaker 2: Maybe they found out about that story. They could could have. Absolutely,
- 3:02:09Speaker 2: you're Ted Last because we really appreciate you in the time.
- 3:02:14Speaker 2: This is awesome to sit down, understand the culture where
- 3:02:16Speaker 2: you came from. Truly, we hope it the best for
- 3:02:18Speaker 2: you guys this year. Unless you play Michigan. There we go.
- 3:02:20Speaker 2: We're Red Raiders this year. Were Red Raiders a husk.
- 3:02:25Speaker 2: But hey, if we can match up either one of
- 3:02:27Speaker 2: those games and it's the national leadership, you'll take that. Yeah,
- 3:02:31Speaker 2: I'll take that. Yeah, they said, hey, I guarantee you
- 3:02:33Speaker 2: get more access to Texas Tech than Michigan if that
- 3:02:37Speaker 2: game is taking taking place. I thought he was just
- 3:02:40Speaker 2: going to take it just a He follows ourself like,
- 3:02:42Speaker 2: you're going to get more access than Oklahoma. But he
- 3:02:44Speaker 2: said the big boys many something that he could be
- 3:02:52Speaker 2: right just the way he said that aloud. Money, he's
