• 1:02
  It didn't end up the way we wanted it to, but it ended
• 1:04
  up the way it was supposed to. How you doing today, sir,
• 1:07
  Hey, it's you know, we had multiple Oklahoma quarterbacks, a lot of
• 1:11
  players across. You know, you got Baker just showing out and earning him
• 1:19
  some shedder, you know, do you hope that there's not any goofiness in
• 1:23
  that organization and they just pay the man. He played. He played well
• 1:26
  today. Uh, you know it always you you say that you'd rather lose
• 1:32
  a close game than a blowout, and they both are not fine. So
• 1:36
  but good job for Bake. A great year for him, Yep, it's
• 1:40
  uh. It was a great year for Bake. Got him to the playoffs,
• 1:44
  got a playoff win, something that's not happened in a bit as well
• 1:47
  since the Goat was here. And we didn't get our Super Bowl run again
• 1:51
  like we did in two thousand. But you know, it's all right.
• 1:55
  Bake did earn him. He earned him some money. So it's been a
• 1:57
  good Sunday for me. Check this out. Been fighting some cooties, little
• 2:02
  allergies in here with this weather change. But Coop, you sound great.
• 2:06
  So it sounds like you're back to your standard spirits and everything. Man,
• 2:10
  I gotta say, yeah, now, feeling good. It's you know,
• 2:15
  started the new job last last week of November, worked through some back issues
• 2:21
  and some pneumonia, and I feel I feel fantastic. Yeah, that's good.
• 2:25
  I'm glad that you're actually feeling better. Hey, everybody. Hey,
• 2:28
  Mike over that Soon a Legends podcast. Make sure to check him out.
• 2:30
  He's been dropping some content about legendary stuff. I know he did something for
• 2:35
  Coop recently and gave us a shout out. I appreciate that, Mike,
• 2:38
  So here's that return favorite. Check out Mike and the Sooner, a Legends
• 2:40
  podcast, and check out what Mike's over there making. He's talking about a
• 2:43
  lot of old school Oklahoma stuff, which you know, it's always appreciated.
• 2:46
  Whatnot. What's good going on? Steven, we appreciate that. And James,
• 2:53
  No, we're not talking about the Cowboys. I don't want to pour
• 2:54
  salt into their wounds. I feel bad for Cowboys fans because they keep staying
• 2:59
  on that narcotic. Is that narcotic that they should not be on anymore?
• 3:01
  But they keep doing it to themselves because they went twelve and what five?
• 3:06
  What's this? Four years in a row and they just still can't get it
• 3:09
  done. Why are we here? Why are we even talking about it?
• 3:12
  We shouldn't be doing it, James, We're not. We're not gonna beat
• 3:14
  them up as much as I would like to. Hey, Kenny, happy
• 3:17
  uh Happy Sunday, Eddie You're right. All the Lamur haters are definitely getting
• 3:23
  called Wyatt, and so we're gonna dive in to this. Gent appreciate it.
• 3:30
  You're the best, not me, You are the best. But let's
• 3:32
  talk about this game, no coop. I'll actually want to jump into that
• 3:35
  first, and then we'll talk Oklahoma more Oklahoma stuff, but we're gonna lead
• 3:38
  off with, of course Oklahoma content around Baker Mayfield, and so one thing
• 3:42
  I didn't want to say real quick. If you notice there's another channel with
• 3:46
  the name of this show I made that. I'm gonna start moving some of
• 3:51
  the sooner or later cuts into that YouTube channel separately, just so we can
• 3:55
  make sure it's all Oklahoma content as we're growing or whatnot. Here we're growing
• 3:59
  fast, and so I made a second one just to have it there.
• 4:01
  You go over there and subscribe soon or later. Sports You'll see it in
• 4:04
  the description below after this video is complete. But cool, Baker tried to
• 4:10
  drive him back and he threw interception in the game. How did you feel
• 4:13
  about Baker's performance against the Lions today? It's in any any football game,
• 4:18
  you know, it's a it's a sum of all of its parts, you
• 4:21
  know, there's a lot of frustration around Buccaneers not catching the ball early in
• 4:28
  the game. You know, they dropped a pick in the end zone which
• 4:30
  could have turned you know, turned away the Lions. But here, I'll
• 4:38
  say this, first of all, congratulations to Detroit Dan Campbell and I've seen
• 4:43
  it in there. Dan Campbell has got something going on. And that was
• 4:46
  hard. That was a hard game to watch because I'm kind of rooting for
• 4:48
  Dan Campbell and the Lions. Also because you know, growing up, you
• 4:53
  know, Barry Sanders was just that guy and he was fun to watch.
• 4:57
  And you know, we came up in the in the age of the argument
• 5:01
  of yeah, you put you know, Barry Sanders behind that Dallas Cowboys offensive
• 5:05
  line and he'd ran for twenty five hundred yards you know, a year,
• 5:09
  and so you know, it's it's it's been a long time in Detroit,
• 5:14
  so that there's so that's good. But yeah, I mean, you leave
• 5:17
  some stuff on the field. You know, it's going to be a game
• 5:20
  that the that the Buccaneers look back on and wonder what if and so.
• 5:27
  But at the same time, they had you know, you heard it on
• 5:30
  the broadcast, aid zero expectations coming into this year. None, all right,
• 5:34
  So it's not like they you know that they were Super Bowl bounds and
• 5:40
  they came up short, you know, like the game that's going on right
• 5:43
  now with Buffalo and Kansas City or you know, a forty nine ers or
• 5:46
  anything like that. So Baker just continues to be a guy that people,
• 5:51
  you know, really really like to rally around. There were some good comparisons
• 5:58
  with with how you know, his coach is extremely, extremely calm, and
• 6:02
  Baker is Baker, you know. But at the same time, I mean,
• 6:06
  it's it's a fun thing. You know. You hope that Baker gets
• 6:10
  paid. I don't think Baker's going to clear the forty million dollar mark like
• 6:13
  some of these bigger contracts, but you know, I think the dude's baseline
• 6:17
  contract was two or three million dollars this year, and he made a couple,
• 6:21
  you know, a couple million in bonuses. And so hopefully Tampa Bay
• 6:26
  just comes in, lays it down for him and brings him back. Hopefully
• 6:30
  we can keep improving on that running game because they were dead last in the
• 6:33
  NFL. And but yeah, receivers got to catch balls, defensive backs got
• 6:39
  to catch interceptions, and you know, that game could have been completely different.
• 6:43
  So yeah, they play about as good as I expected in the play
• 6:48
  would be absolutely honest. As you can see, I'm wearing the Creamsi well.
• 6:51
  I've been a Buccaneers fan since the cream Sickle days, back of being
• 6:55
  for real losers throughout the nineties and eighties and every time year in between.
• 7:00
  But I was grown. I grew up as a Bucks fans, the one
• 7:03
  of the teams that I adopted as a young child to break my heart for
• 7:06
  the entire rest of my life, and I've stuck to it and I've gotten
• 7:10
  two Super Bowls out of it, so I cannot be mad. But yeah,
• 7:14
  the defense has been questionable to me all season, especially across the middle,
• 7:17
  and I don't understand top Bowls being a defensive guy. They just could
• 7:23
  not figure it out on defense, And then that offensive line has been questionable.
• 7:27
  Seems like injuries have Definitely that Buck has made things bad because yeah,
• 7:30
  Baker literally didn't have much time to get rid of that dang Bob now,
• 7:34
  So I'm not gonna lose my mind on it. But at the same time,
• 7:39
  I had higher expectations for I had higher expectations I think for them than
• 7:46
  they had for themselves, but overall game was fun. It came down to
• 7:49
  the wire that first interception Baker threw. It feels like Mike Evans just just
• 7:55
  he does. He wears anti stick on, it seems like because he seems
• 8:00
  to miss all the easy catches and then it deflects off his hands, so
• 8:03
  they off. I don't even know how to even express it, to be
• 8:09
  honest, because every time I look up, I'm just like, bro,
• 8:11
  that was yours. But then he has that drive. We have the two
• 8:15
  minute drives, And I guess the thing that frustrates me when I really look
• 8:20
  back at it is the Baker, Mayfield and the Bucks, just them together
• 8:26
  and even independently, have this tendency of showing out at like two minutes left
• 8:30
  in the game and a half or or the game right their two minute drill
• 8:33
  is just pristine. Where's the rest of it? Why aren't we seeing this
• 8:39
  through most of the game? And like you mentioned the run game, this
• 8:43
  game showed up. Ain't been showing up most of the season. I just
• 8:46
  don't even know how to feel on that, Like, what what's up?
• 8:50
  Mike Evans ten seasons straight with a thousand yards? Who explain to me how
• 8:54
  does he be missing these easy ones, these gimmes. You know, I
• 9:01
  got no answer for it. But when you look at certain receivers who really
• 9:07
  really separate themselves, you know, like right now you've got you know,
• 9:11
  Stefan Diggs, You've got Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, these guys, these
• 9:16
  guys, I mean, they they catch, they catch the ball whenever it's
• 9:20
  the ceedee lamb has I mean, he absolutely bawled out. But you know,
• 9:24
  I don't know, I don't know if it's just the fact that you
• 9:26
  know, you've seen some drops by c D this year, but you know,
• 9:28
  when you're getting fifteen targets a game, you know, can you catch
• 9:31
  every single one? But yeah, you want to see you want to see
• 9:35
  those. That interception is just it's crap, you know, just because the
• 9:41
  fact I wish they'd do something different with the statistics when it comes down to
• 9:45
  that. But you know what here it is is you know you're gonna get
• 9:48
  a pick, you know, every game out of Baker for the for the
• 9:50
  most part, hopefully it's not because his receiver. It lets the ball bounce
• 9:54
  off of his hands right up into the middle of prevent defense. But at
• 10:01
  the same time. You know, again, they overachieved. I think I
• 10:05
  don't know who. I just saw it in there, maybe Sooner Cowboys since
• 10:07
  it was very positive. But they're loose to the Niners anyway. But so
• 10:13
  you know, it might end up being a Detroit forty nine ers, you
• 10:18
  know, just clash next week. That looks amazing. So let's let's see
• 10:22
  what happens, because you know, I think the rest of the country is
• 10:26
  going to be rooting for Detroit right now outside of Cali. Yeah, I
• 10:30
  need I need the Lions to go ahead and go. I like Dan Campbell.
• 10:33
  Dan Campbell gave a lot of praise to Baker as well before the game,
• 10:39
  and just because he likes the way he fights, I've all and of
• 10:41
  course, as a suitor fan, I enjoy Baker. A lot of people
• 10:43
  don't like Baker because they think he's an arrogant guy blah blah blah. And
• 10:46
  it's one of those situations where you love him if he's your guy, right,
• 10:50
  yeah, he gives you the moxy that you like when he's your duty.
• 10:52
  He's not your dude, you don't like him. This hints while a
• 10:54
  lot of people hate other players, but I really wanted to I'm going to
• 11:00
  be able to just get one more win. But at the same time,
• 11:01
  as Chuck mentioned here in the comments, yes, Baker's definitely earned himself an
• 11:07
  opportunity to be the franchise quarterback going forward. Only six years in the league,
• 11:11
  still young, but he threw four thousand yards. So that's all you
• 11:15
  need if you want to be able to show that you're good enough to lead
• 11:18
  this team going forward. You're good enough to be a franchise got going forward.
• 11:22
  So I have no doubt that they'll be smart enough to recognize that portion
• 11:26
  of it. But besides that, what are the takeaways did you see from
• 11:30
  Bake before we dive into some sooner content. I mean, he's passionate,
• 11:35
  right so when he comes out and you see the team just going crazy.
• 11:41
  I mean, he didn't lose that game. But at the same time,
• 11:45
  you got a minute and change was in a minute in six seconds or something
• 11:48
  like that, right after going into the first half, they go down to
• 11:56
  score a touchdown like that was. It was glorious, And so you're sitting
• 12:00
  there thinking like, what would happen right there? What would happen on this
• 12:03
  you know, is this going to be those last second drive for the you
• 12:05
  know, to to tie the game coming back in. You know people are
• 12:09
  going to a second guest to going for two. It's all right, But
• 12:13
  here's the overall is when you look at Jalen Hurts, you look at Baker,
• 12:16
  you look at Kyler Sam Jason. I think the reason why, I
• 12:22
  think the reason why Baker is the favorite is because that moxie that let's go
• 12:28
  like everybody can rally around him because it's hard to rally around a guy like
• 12:31
  you know, Kyler who's just dead silent, doesn't do much. You know,
• 12:35
  we're hearing some stuff out of Philly, you know, some chemistry stuff.
• 12:39
  So just focus on you know, focus on good. Baker earned himself
• 12:43
  some some really really good payday this year. Ceedee lamb. I mean he
• 12:48
  is a you know, a rant. I mean Tyreek Hill had one of
• 12:54
  the better years in NFL history for a wide receiver and he barely be CD
• 13:00
  by fifty yards receiving. So CD balled out this year. Uh, It's
• 13:05
  it's good to see these guys, uh going crazy on the on the big
• 13:09
  stage. And yeah, listen, man, I'm a Denver Broncos fan.
• 13:11
  I would I would, I would, I would I don't know. I
• 13:16
  will put the four cell yard in Russell's front yard and whatever weird ship that
• 13:22
  he's doing inside his house and move him out because I'd love to see Baker
• 13:26
  head up there with Sean Payton and take over Denver. Uh. You know
• 13:31
  that I would take that in a heartbeat. But hopefully Tampa Bay, like
• 13:35
  I said, hopefully Tampa Bay doesn't mess around, because you mess around and
• 13:39
  now you're trying to go search something else. Yeah, so you know,
• 13:43
  kudos to Baker, kudos to Tampa Bay. It's going to end up as
• 13:46
  a you know, as a season of what if, but at the same
• 13:50
  time get better. Let's see, uh, let's see the offensive line.
• 13:54
  You know, Rashaan White I don't think was a super highly tuted coming in
• 13:58
  the NFL draft, So maybe you can go in and find yourself somebody there.
• 14:03
  I don't know about Godwin and Evans both, you know, we can't
• 14:07
  I don't. I can't remember if they're both gonna come back. But Baker
• 14:11
  seems to be finding a really really good guy in Kate Auten and he loves
• 14:15
  that tight end. So you know who I'd like to see is Let's see
• 14:18
  if maybe a Drake Stoops can get, you know, become a little slot
• 14:22
  receiver as a possession because they've got the Palmer kid from Tennessee and he's a
• 14:26
  burner. But I'd like to see Drake just work the middle, you know,
• 14:30
  a little double double with Auten and Drake over the middle with a you
• 14:33
  know, little tiered routes. You know, that would be that would be
• 14:39
  beautiful. So but here we go. We're down to the you know,
• 14:41
  down to the final four. Here soon looks like Buffalo just scored. It's
• 14:45
  about ten to three. So game on, Yeah, game on. So
• 14:50
  thank you all for pulling up. If you're in here, go ahead and
• 14:54
  wipe your feet. Hit that like button. If you're new to the channel,
• 14:58
  please subscribe. Love for you to join us family of college football fans,
• 15:01
  especially Sooner fans haven't been here. If you're listening to the audio version
• 15:05
  rate review, give us five stars. As we mentioned before, So let's
• 15:09
  talk about some recruiting, right, and some recruiting to talk about, because
• 15:15
  Oklahoma has been doing some stuff that a lot of fans don't like. Right.
• 15:22
  There's one thing that I've been hearing a lot of complaints about. Coop
• 15:24
  been complaining about nil. Why aren't we paying all these players at all these
• 15:28
  other schools to come here, right, Why don't we just bring everybody in,
• 15:33
  all the best players in the country. Why don't we hoard all the
• 15:35
  talent like Alabama did? Why aren't we taking advantage of the fact that Alabama's
• 15:41
  hemorrhaging right now? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? And
• 15:46
  so before I really get into the recruiting aspect of it, let's talk about
• 15:52
  this, right. Did you check out the Polynesian bow coop? Yes?
• 16:00
  You see those two dudes in the middle it's coming to Oklahoma. Both get
• 16:04
  normal recoveries for touchdowns and sacks. It's I will say this, there's a
• 16:14
  lot of expectations for David Stone, but Jackson could be the difference maker for
• 16:21
  what happens here. Those guys know each other very very well. Jane Jackson
• 16:26
  is he is, He's shaping up to do some damage. It's it's going
• 16:33
  to be good. And I love that relationship with them. But yeah,
• 16:37
  when is the last time in an All Star or you know, All Star
• 16:41
  game or anything like that, you can say I was really really excited to
• 16:44
  watch all those ou defensive line and just bowl out. I mean, last
• 16:47
  year a little bit with PJ. But but now you're starting to see you're
• 16:52
  starting to see some stuff because Jackson Aaron Donald is more of a David Stone
• 16:59
  type of you know, or I guess David Stone's more of an Arab Donald
• 17:03
  body type. But Jadon Jackson has got a little bit of that vite Veya
• 17:07
  is some of those bigger nose tackles who are just going to plug up.
• 17:11
  So I'm I'm here for it. I'm excited and it does not matter,
• 17:18
  doesn't matter what we have coming back, because when you bring in and I'm
• 17:22
  not gonna say it, but when you bring in guys like that, it
• 17:26
  pushes everybody. And then now you've got all these defensive tackles that are there,
• 17:32
  John Terry is going to be able to you know, to be there
• 17:33
  as the starter and to really really show them the ropes, have the conversations
• 17:38
  about the sec with those two guys. So yeah, it's Jackson is a
• 17:45
  man and he is somebody that you should be really really excited about. And
• 17:49
  that's not to take anything right from David, because David it is is psychotic.
• 17:53
  I mean, he is just an absolute beast in the middle too.
• 17:56
  But it's violence with the hands. It is quick footwork. I mean,
• 18:02
  those both of those guys, they I mean, they practice all these things,
• 18:04
  and I promise you as they're getting coached up individually, they're sharing that
• 18:08
  with each other and they I mean, listen, Oklahoma commit defensive tackle with
• 18:15
  a fumble recovery touchdown was uttered two times. So that is that's awesome.
• 18:21
  Yeah, that's something that we, like you said, we haven't really seen
• 18:25
  before here. And that's the probably the thing that jumped out the most is
• 18:29
  we're recruiting the guys we want, right Like, of course we would like
• 18:33
  to get more. We would like to get every top player, but there
• 18:36
  are particular players that this staff is going after. And I'm gonna be one
• 18:41
  honest with a lot of you. Yes, I would love for our nil
• 18:45
  to just go blow money on every single player that's possible out there, but
• 18:49
  I also would like for us to be smart about who we go after,
• 18:52
  and we don't go after dudes. It's gonna just take the money and then
• 18:55
  jump right back into the portal. Because this is something I did notice.
• 19:00
  There was a few dudes that I really liked that were in the portal,
• 19:03
  especially when let me pull back We had concerns about the wide receiver room going
• 19:07
  into last season, right you remember that coup. Yes, there was a
• 19:11
  lot of conversations about that. People were asking questions, what's our wide receiver
• 19:15
  room gonna look? Like? Oh my god, it's not very good.
• 19:18
  All we've got is for Rouke and everybody else really isn't all that good.
• 19:22
  We don't know what's going on. And so Oklahoma spent some time in the
• 19:26
  portal. They started filtering through guys. You had like seafists that pulled up.
• 19:33
  We also had the tall guy, was it was it Brogden that ended
• 19:40
  up at Arkansas. We had Dorian, a singer singler who ended up at
• 19:45
  USC. We had a lot of dudes that pulled up right. And I
• 19:49
  think this is the thing that was fascinated about it is that Oklahoma saw Andro
• 19:53
  Anthony, who statistically wasn't very good at Michigan, Like look at the numbers,
• 20:00
  he wasn't. But he also wasn't really used. There was a talent
• 20:03
  there, but he wasn't used. So Oklahoma said, you know what,
• 20:07
  that's who we want. Get him. We got him, Hi, dammit,
• 20:10
  Jones got him. You brought to Andrei Anthony and all the other three
• 20:12
  or four targets we went after Trey Harris allid it. We didn't get any
• 20:15
  of them, right, we didn't get him. Hear me out on this.
• 20:21
  It was because the staff actually liked the room that they currently had.
• 20:25
  Over the dudes coming in. They just say, you know what, we
• 20:26
  really need just one more piece to add to what we're doing. Because we
• 20:30
  like the guys we recruited. The guys we recruited the last two years.
• 20:33
  Think we're solid. We still got the veteran in stoops, we still got
• 20:37
  some of the young guys. I think we like our room the way it
• 20:40
  is cool beans. Guess what happened after that? That became our strongest room
• 20:45
  this past season. Right, everybody raves about the way the room plays now,
• 20:49
  but before this season, we complained about the way this room looked.
• 20:56
  I add this to it, and this is something that I reckon commend a
• 21:00
  lot of Usinger fans think about. As soon as we look at who the
• 21:07
  staff is going after in all the positions. If they get certain players,
• 21:11
  it's probably because they wanted those particular guys. For one and two, those
• 21:18
  dudes are willing to come in and compete instead of dictate what's gonna happen in
• 21:22
  their recruitment, right, A lot of dudes that hit the portal because I
• 21:26
  mentioned that because those wide receivers we recruited, half of them are back in
• 21:30
  the portal for a second time. Did y'all want guys like that on your
• 21:36
  team? No? You don't, you don't. Right, See iFAST Singler,
• 21:41
  I think Tray Harris went back into port You've seen dudes re enter the
• 21:45
  portal that y'all would have been upset about. It's because they didn't get the
• 21:49
  playing time that they were promised. So they bounced, Yeah, look at
• 21:53
  what we're doing here, right, that's the thing. And I'm saying that
• 21:59
  with emphasis from my Sooner fans to understand. So Oklahoma was hosting potential set
• 22:04
  a lineman potentially to come through. It's been all over the interwebs, and
• 22:08
  if the insiders got some more intel on it, you could jump on the
• 22:11
  Brandon drum dropped a note. I saw something from Colin Kennedy as well.
• 22:15
  Go check them out too for seven rivals, which everyone you prefer. But
• 22:18
  we know that someone was pulling into town. I'm waiting for them to officially
• 22:22
  drop a picture that they was here, so I can really talk about it,
• 22:25
  but they've been dropping hints about it, right. Well, this player
• 22:29
  also did visit Oklahoma during their recruitment. Actually, both the brothers visited Oklahoma
• 22:34
  during their recruitment, so there's a relationship there. And when a lot of
• 22:38
  these dudes and go along with it. I know, my apologies, but
• 22:42
  whenever a lot of these dudes hit the portal, they usually end up at
• 22:45
  the second to third school they had relationships with, unless it's a curse and
• 22:48
  change. So Coop, I know that everybody wants Nil to spend all this
• 22:53
  money and blow it, but I don't understand how a lot of the fans
• 22:59
  don't see that when we bring in recruits these last three classes, how we
• 23:03
  refresh this roster over ninety percent that we ain't brought into dudes that we actually
• 23:08
  kind of want to see play. Like, what should we do with these
• 23:11
  recruits? Should we just tell them to go ahead kick rocks? Or should
• 23:15
  we take the evaluations in training camp and say, oh, these dudes are
• 23:19
  actually a lot better than we thought. What you think? Am I crazy?
• 23:25
  I just wanted from crazy? I'll say this is we've seen the adjustment
• 23:30
  in the culture at this point right from the P ninety X booty tabo strength
• 23:36
  and conditioning, now Schmidty eventables this family, this culture is pointed in the
• 23:42
  right direction, but it is not the foundational piece it is. It is
• 23:47
  building still and you need and listen. I would love to say, like
• 23:52
  a second year with the head coach, third year with the head coach,
• 23:55
  and all that stuff, like let's just be honest, Like you lose your
• 24:00
  top receiver, you lose the Heisman Trophy quarterback in the past two years.
• 24:03
  You I mean, you have your number one wide receiver go out with an
• 24:07
  acl. You have your number one linebacker go down with injury. Andrew Anton,
• 24:11
  I mean this is ifs and butts, candies and nuts. But Stutsman
• 24:15
  doesn't get hurt against Oki State and you know Kansas Wi win one of those
• 24:18
  games, right what happens is a Big twelve championship, what happens to playoffs
• 24:22
  andrel Anton, he doesn't go down. This offense is a little bit different,
• 24:26
  you know. Right there, I'll say this is there was a story
• 24:32
  and I'm I'm maybe and I can't remember where I heard this from. So
• 24:34
  this is you know, it's not me coming up with something. But there's
• 24:38
  a story about when Randy Moss was with Las Vegas Raiders, everybody around the
• 24:45
  world was going, Randy's done. He's right, he ain't did it anymore,
• 24:48
  He's done cooked, no more, no more. Well, then he
• 24:53
  comes up for free agency and here comes Robert Kraft and Bill Belichie to come
• 25:00
  pull them over to the Patriots. And one of the things that was bad
• 25:03
  about that was he was such a head case scene didn't fit that culture.
• 25:10
  Well, I think they took a risk because they said, here's the deal
• 25:12
  is, we'll bring him in. This culture is it is solid. You've
• 25:17
  got Mike Vrabel, Teddy Bruski, you know, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick
• 25:22
  is the goat. You've got all this stuff going on, and you can
• 25:25
  absorb somebody, just one, maybe two of those type of guys because your
• 25:30
  culture is so strong. I don't think that the culture is right there yet
• 25:34
  to invite in a bunch of people who are mercenaries, because that is all
• 25:40
  it is. Caden Green like what happened, Don't like what happened. He
• 25:45
  was a mercenary, you hear you know. We'll talk about a little bit
• 25:48
  later, Proctor. Same situation is when some of these people and you hear
• 25:53
  about the I can't what is the player's podcast where they say like, if
• 25:57
  you want to get over Yeah podcasts on the prairiod, if you want to
• 26:00
  get paid, go to the portal because people are willing. People are willing
• 26:07
  to champ out. Now we've seen it go sideways at Miami. We've seen
• 26:11
  it go sideways at A and m Now Ole Miss is going to have around
• 26:15
  to find out. So I'll say this is when you have all these situations.
• 26:21
  You look at a quin Shawn Judkins, maybe the best running back in
• 26:26
  the SEC, and he heads out and he goes to the he goes to
• 26:30
  the Big ten, to Ohio State. You can't bring in all these people
• 26:36
  with all this money and then not have people on your team go. I
• 26:40
  mean, I can just put my name out there a little bit and kind
• 26:41
  of see what happens, right, And so that is going to happen.
• 26:47
  And I've made mention of the past. But you have a guy, I'll
• 26:49
  say, so a linebacker hits the portal and he is a dude. He
• 26:53
  is great or no, no, let's whoop. The safety out of Clemson
• 27:00
  ended up committing to Yeah. Muka. So everybody was like, oh,
• 27:03
  Brent Vinible's guy. He's he's a big he's a bat, he's a big
• 27:07
  safety. Let's roll, let's get let's bring him in. How does that
• 27:11
  affect yeah, yeah, Andrew, So how does that affect Peyton Bowen,
• 27:15
  Billy Bowman, you know, Robert Spears, Jennings, Jayden Rowe, all
• 27:21
  these safety kids coming in, and you know Jonah Williams potentially for twenty five?
• 27:25
  Like, how does that affect all of that? When you're bringing that
• 27:26
  in because as a player, you're thinking, like, man, I could
• 27:30
  be like on the verge of becoming a starter as a freshman or as a
• 27:34
  sophomore, and then all of a sudden, you've got that doubt coming in
• 27:40
  because you're like, what happens if like a I don't know, second team
• 27:44
  All American from another you know, from Kansas State or something hits the portal?
• 27:47
  Like, are they gonna slide him in in front of me? Because
• 27:51
  most of these guys aren't afraid of competition, but I think they want an
• 27:55
  even playing field. And as a player, let's go with Billy Bowman or
• 28:00
  sorry, Peyton Bowen is is Peyton says he's there, Macuba's potentially coming in,
• 28:06
  he slides in, he all of a sudden has to split some snaps.
• 28:10
  Yeah, so what would you would you as a fan go listen,
• 28:14
  I'll take Macuba and let Peyton go mess around in the portal. Hell no,
• 28:18
  no, but none of us want that. None of us want that.
• 28:22
  So when you see the Herd kid, he's looking for Cheddar and when
• 28:26
  you're trying to find the offensive line, I don't think we're one bookend away
• 28:33
  from this offensive line being being studs. And if you bring one guy in
• 28:37
  and he doesn't work out, now everybody's being like, well, I mean,
• 28:41
  you brought that guy in, gave him almost a million dollars, and
• 28:45
  Punk's not even like busting it on the practice field right now. So I'm
• 28:48
  just I don't know. So so I don't want to go that far on
• 28:53
  or whatnot. But I do want to say this though, to add to
• 28:56
  that, like a player like her HER's legit right, he's at LSU.
• 29:00
  He wasn't cracking that starting job obviously, hence why it's why he left.
• 29:04
  It wasn't more. I don't think he left for money from LSU. I
• 29:08
  think he wanted to play, but once you hit that portal, you chase
• 29:11
  the money because it's to make no sense for you to go out there and
• 29:15
  undersell yourself. Right, So think about it this way. Who has an
• 29:19
  opening at the left guard left tackle position? Think about it. We don't.
• 29:26
  Sexton's got that one. Sexton, it's got that left tackle spot because
• 29:30
  he's been playing it. He's played well when he's been in the game,
• 29:36
  replacing Tyler Guy at the right side. But he's gonna move over to the
• 29:38
  left because he's gonna play on the blind side of the quarterback, which is
• 29:41
  what they got him for. Sexton didn't and for those that didn't know this,
• 29:45
  Sexton didn't play the first seven games of the season. The reason why
• 29:48
  we went at the while Walter Rouse excuse me, I couldn't get it out.
• 29:52
  The reason why he went after Walter Rouse and we got him to flip
• 29:56
  from Nebraska and paid him was because Sexton hurt towards a c L in the
• 30:00
  bowl game. But that was your starting left yesterday. Yeah, a year
• 30:06
  ago yesterday. Go look at his social media ago. He had surgery a
• 30:10
  year ago yesterday. But he tours a cl in the cheese At Bowl.
• 30:14
  But that was your starting left tackle. He was a freshman at that point,
• 30:17
  he was gonna actually start at left with Guyton and because of that injury,
• 30:21
  you need an additional depth. So you ain't got yourself a veteran.
• 30:23
  You went and got that. But this is the thing I'm thinking about.
• 30:26
  Sex is gonna be your left Jake Taylor's gonna be It's gonna be right there
• 30:30
  next to him. You bring in a Spencer Brown to compete with Taylor because
• 30:34
  Taylor could probably end up taking that right tackle, spying Spencer Brown being behind
• 30:40
  him, because I think the Jakes are probably gonna be your book hands when
• 30:42
  you go in between. You've got a You got a lot of players we're
• 30:48
  we had a lot of players on this line that this staff really likes.
• 30:53
  They brought in for Beachi because he's a freshman All American. We lost Caydence,
• 30:56
  so we need to bring get a replacement for him. Fabati was a
• 31:00
  freshman All American guys and Seth Latrell really likes him. That tells you something.
• 31:07
  That's something I want you to ponder on when we have these conversations about
• 31:10
  particular players. Because I'll say this, and Chuck, you made this great
• 31:14
  point for me right here before we try to move ourselves oons. I don't
• 31:17
  want these to be too long winded of monologues, want us to be back
• 31:18
  and forth. Again, that's my fault. I take blame for this.
• 31:22
  You want players who want to compete for spots. A lot of these dudes
• 31:26
  hitting the portal ain't here to compete. They here for you to tell them
• 31:29
  they're gonna start. Why would you hit the portal when you can compete where
• 31:32
  you're staying at, right, Yeah, that's why I'm trying to get a
• 31:36
  lot of my people here. All y'all that follow me, y'all know,
• 31:38
  I try to take a good perspective and think me and Coop do that.
• 31:42
  That's the thing to consider when it comes to these portal dudes. A lot
• 31:47
  of them are not coming here just to They're not coming here to say,
• 31:53
  oh, I want to come here and go compete somewhere. I want to
• 31:55
  go ahead and potentially try to start. No, no, no, no
• 31:56
  no. They going in there for the bag in a starting position, because
• 32:00
  if they wanted to compete, they probably would have stayed where they were at
• 32:04
  unless they're processed. The processed dudes, a lot of them ain't. They
• 32:07
  don't care. They're just trying to find a place to land. That's why
• 32:09
  the portal's so full of dudes that don't get picked up, because some of
• 32:14
  them go into mindset of if I ain't starting, why am I not going
• 32:16
  here? Think about that? Always think about that perspective. Coop, you
• 32:22
  got something else to add to that Before we move on and talk about the
• 32:24
  Hatchet Brothers, we have a person in too. Let's just go this.
• 32:30
  You have not seen the free agency deal work in the NFL. You can't
• 32:37
  go after a bunch of I remember what is it? I'm gonna go with
• 32:40
  one. The Washington Redskins went out and got LeVar Arrington, Dion Sanders,
• 32:45
  they got of guys, all these and they had all of this loaded up
• 32:51
  and they went eight and eight. And that was the first time that I
• 32:54
  thought, you know what, going after all the big time guys? There
• 33:00
  you go. So you can't you can't get too excited about it. Yes,
• 33:06
  would it be Would it be dope if we just went out and said
• 33:08
  you come you come here, you come here, you come here. Yes,
• 33:12
  But most of these massive transfer portal guys who are hitting it and they're
• 33:16
  bouncing out and again, like you said earlier, they're ending up back in
• 33:22
  the portal because they get there and they got sour grapes right away. It
• 33:27
  is not a good deal. Yeah, look at USC last year one hundred
• 33:30
  percent is you know, they bring in all these dudes and they're doing it
• 33:32
  again because everybody wants to come in here. And you know, but that
• 33:37
  USC job that's looking a little rough right now. And uh, and I
• 33:40
  promise you this. I promise you, promise you promise you this. Brent
• 33:45
  Vinnables is doing this right way like they're they're if it is the better safe
• 33:51
  than sorry. All right, that's fine until we start seeing somebody pay out,
• 33:55
  because this is not sustainable. This is year two and a half.
• 33:59
  I guess of all this, it's not sustainable. Now these people are going
• 34:02
  to be continued to drop out a million dollars to watch their team go nine
• 34:07
  to three or ten and two. That ain't gonna happen if they're dropping millions
• 34:10
  of dollars and they're bragging to their friends about it. I donated a million
• 34:14
  dollars and I think we're we brought in this herd kid. And then now
• 34:19
  you go and you end up number five or number six in the SEC.
• 34:22
  People are gonna be done with that crowd very fast, very Let me add
• 34:25
  to that real quick. Somebody point this out. Gabe isn't impressed with any
• 34:29
  of the portal lineman we've grabbed so far. Gabe, I could have.
• 34:30
  I swear when I saw Gabe talked about Fabichi wai Wu as one that he
• 34:35
  really liked. He actually liked that pick up just because he was young,
• 34:38
  and he's someone that could be a good, good project, someone that could
• 34:40
  probably actually someone that actually vited four started spoty as a freshman All American.
• 34:45
  I'm gonna go back and search for that one. When we picked up Way,
• 34:47
  I swear I heard Gabe say that he liked him. I could be
• 34:51
  wrong and Chuck, and Chuck mentioned I'm very consistent right or wrong about what
• 34:53
  I say, and I am very consistent with that. But that's the one
• 34:55
  thing I do know is that Sooner Cowboy mentioned this earlier, and I love
• 35:01
  that he said this at the beginning. I think I just shot a link
• 35:05
  to Jason. He's probably gonna jump in with us in the BIGS. I
• 35:07
  want to talk about this going forward. What Team one thirty looks like because
• 35:10
  of the Polynesian Bowl and the way that we just saw David Stone, Jay
• 35:15
  and Jackson play. So cowboy, I appreciate you pointing this thing out because
• 35:20
  I don't think a lot of people believe this when I say this. Hold
• 35:22
  U let seef, I can find it real quick. That's artist. Defense
• 35:25
  wins championships. Right, Let's talk about Team one thirty before we do that.
• 35:31
  Hit that like, buddy. We've got two hundred and something folks in
• 35:35
  here. Make sure you hit the like button. If you are new to
• 35:40
  the channel, please subscribe. You're listening to the audio rate review. Give
• 35:45
  us five stars. If did it deserve it, give us five anyway and
• 35:46
  gifted. So defense wins championships, right, Money doesn't win championships. Defense
• 35:53
  does. Team one thirty. Y'all saw it. David Stone, y'all see
• 36:00
  the saw. You heard what David Stone, j Jackson did. We talked
• 36:02
  about this earlier. Coop. We're bringing back probably one of the more experienced,
• 36:07
  if not the most experienced defense in the sec AM. I right,
• 36:10
  yeah, so outside because George is actually losing corner, they're losing secondary players
• 36:15
  and the Georgia Boys coach I and was mentioned in that they're losing some guys
• 36:19
  in the secondary, so they're trying to replace. So you see them going
• 36:22
  heavy into the portal going after dudes. Like, if there's one dude that
• 36:25
  I really would have won it out of the portal that Bama lost would have
• 36:29
  been Caleb Downs. But the unfortunate thing is Caleb Downs had already I believe,
• 36:32
  been tampered with and so he was already prepared to go to Ohio Stakers.
• 36:37
  I think Ohio State was in his top three to begin with. Think
• 36:40
  about it that way. If the player's not in the top three, they
• 36:44
  ain't going nowhere. There's only one person at Alabama right now that I know
• 36:47
  that we were in the top of that I hope we can decide to get
• 36:50
  our hands on, is Jordan Renald. That would be a nice pickup because
• 36:57
  that would be one player that I feel like we could uh make the magic
• 37:01
  happen with. And so uh for me, that's that that's one of those
• 37:08
  players who what you think we are. Also, Casey Poe was a big
• 37:15
  one too. I think he's a toy offensive lineman. But yeah, you
• 37:21
  bring back all the defense, you bring back uh you like I said,
• 37:25
  you know with Dejon Terry coming back, Stutsman the middle of that line,
• 37:29
  all of that stuff right there. I mean, it is what is those
• 37:35
  guys are going to continue to be in the system. You're going to see
• 37:38
  rotation of players, you know, throughout throughout some of the lower games and
• 37:44
  whatnot, just because of the fact that you know you need there to go.
• 37:47
  There you go, Jason, my man, So you need to check
• 37:52
  for that real quick. I think we got echo on your end. But
• 37:57
  yeah, yeah, I got I got a little bit of my ear too.
• 38:00
  But I'll say this is this this defense does come back. I think
• 38:05
  we're sitting on our offensive line. I think our offensive line needs to If
• 38:09
  we can get that just figured out and the normal beaten bat like increase as
• 38:15
  we go, I think we win. I mean, because you need the
• 38:20
  offensive line to just make sure that you're just not getting whooped up front all
• 38:27
  day every day. I think Jackson is good enough, but you know this
• 38:31
  is going to be I will say caution for everybody who thinks if we lose
• 38:36
  a game, our season is over. Get that mentality out of the way,
• 38:39
  because I mean, you can have three losses and make the playoffs.
• 38:43
  So I think this next year. This is because twenty five is the year
• 38:46
  that you really really have your sight set on right now. Next year you
• 38:52
  are building and you want to see this team get better as you go on.
• 38:55
  Well how do you do that? You, as a defense, get
• 38:59
  your buy off the field and let your offense try to gain some time,
• 39:04
  some momentum, some familiarity with each other. And I think that this defense
• 39:07
  is going to make another big drump. I think you're gonna see a bunch
• 39:10
  of You're gonna see a bunch of defensive linemen really start to make make big,
• 39:16
  big splashes, and I think you're gonna see more. We've got a
• 39:22
  lot of athletic freaks in the last two classes that are are hoping to vibe
• 39:27
  for the field. And that's another reason why you don't just go out there
• 39:30
  and start bringing all these transfers in, because you've got both the Taylor's Hyme
• 39:34
  and Wine who are just athletic freaks, and those guys you need to see
• 39:38
  what they're going to be able to do right so you know to add to
• 39:43
  that real quickly. That's kind of one thing to think about is some of
• 39:45
  these guys just need to be refined and Gabe mentioned it. I think it
• 39:49
  was a gen that pointed that out not too long ago in some of the
• 39:52
  videos that Gab and them said is that it takes some players just need they
• 39:57
  need some work, but they need some refine. Like they have the nat
• 40:00
  of talent, they have the strength. And that's one thing I didn't notice
• 40:01
  about what bean Bo's doing is a lot of these offensive linement is just like
• 40:05
  naturally strong dudes. Like it's crazy. But anyway, is welcome Jason to
• 40:09
  the house up up. He disappeared. Actually he was in here a second
• 40:13
  ago and now he's gone. I think he had to go fix everything or
• 40:15
  whatnot. So we'll we'll bring Jason back as soon as he gets back in.
• 40:19
  We'll welcome Jason when he comes back. But anyway, I've noticed that
• 40:23
  there's a lot of dudes that we're getting in. They strong like Trump,
• 40:30
  and that's what kind of makes them jump out right, And I'm excited about
• 40:34
  what this team looks like. So defensively, we're walking in with the team
• 40:37
  that's strong. And oh, I'm hearing feedback from you Jason again. You
• 40:45
  probably got the you got you ain't got the video going so interesting? Yeah,
• 40:51
  I hear me hell, I hear me. Yeah, yeah, days
• 41:00
  how Jason, Jason, what's up? What's up? Everybody? I can
• 41:04
  jump out of here if I need to, But I don't know. I'm
• 41:07
  not hearing anything. Yeah, I'm hearing myself talking right there. Yeah,
• 41:10
  yeah, I hear echo for both of us. Yeah yeah, it's not
• 41:15
  you you actually, I'll let you mess with that in the back round real
• 41:27
  quick. But what what what my my point behind it? Like? Okay,
• 41:37
  so team one thirty is walking in with a very very what's the best
• 41:44
  way to say, experienced defense and defense is what wins championships? Right,
• 41:50
  We're gonna get that, unmut yourself, Jason, will test it out again.
• 41:52
  Well, we get experienced defense, we get a team that's gonna be
• 41:57
  built specifically specifically to be sustainable longevity championship because the foundation of these teams and
• 42:08
  if you even saw what Alabama did, Alabama lost some players in the portal
• 42:12
  a regular basis, but they also replenished. But they always led with their
• 42:16
  recruits. That was the saving way. And I think that that's what we're
• 42:22
  seeing out of Venables as well. This is definitely manageable. Jason, how
• 42:29
  you doing? Man good fellas, good Is it still doing that? No,
• 42:34
  not as much as it's just a lot lower. So I can work
• 42:36
  with it. Let's make it happen. Hey, sorry, man, I'm
• 42:37
  sorry about that. It's all right. You know, technology is technology,
• 42:40
  and it's Sunday night, so you know, things happen or whatnot. But
• 42:43
  I think the big thing here is let's talk about it, folks. Let's
• 42:46
  talk about how what the expectations we're seeing out a team one thirty going into
• 42:51
  spring and schmedy winter workouts. What's y'all's expectations. How you feeling about them?
• 42:55
  Jason, I'll leave with you, man, protests are starting to go
• 43:00
  up a little bit. You know, I believe that these guys are I
• 43:06
  think that they're starting to put the team together that Coach v wants to see.
• 43:10
  I kind of go back to Big twelve media days last year and you
• 43:15
  heard start talking about that was a football team that really felt like his team,
• 43:19
  looked like his team, sounded like his team. I think that this
• 43:22
  is starting to become a football team that looks in, sounds and feels like
• 43:28
  Reventables, not Lincoln Riley, not anything else that you know a lot of
• 43:34
  people were expecting. Kind of going back to what you guys were talking about
• 43:37
  in the last segment, He's not going to do anything at you know,
• 43:43
  at the expense of the culture they are trying to build here. And I
• 43:46
  just see I think that everything we see is what we want to see coming
• 43:52
  into this thing. There's always the unknown. You worry about them, you
• 43:58
  know, how are they going to do that first year? Tough schedule,
• 44:00
  everything else, But overall, I believe that this football team is headed in
• 44:05
  the right direction. I'm excited about the future. It's SEC time. Yeah,
• 44:08
  man, it's T one thirty. Just it looks different, man.
• 44:10
  And then seeing Jane Jackson and David Stone playing at Polydesian Bowl and get the
• 44:15
  and be as effective and as disturbed, just disruptive as they were an a
• 44:21
  tire game stupid Coop T one thirty defensive side. Of course, we can
• 44:25
  start there. How are you feeling about what's jumping out to you going into
• 44:30
  these workouts and who are you ready to see? Really when it comes to
• 44:34
  the spring game, Well, I'll say this just right away, Nick Saban
• 44:37
  made our schedule easier. Now it's still going to be Alabama. But when
• 44:45
  you have the boar coming in and you have the players in and out,
• 44:50
  in and out. Everybody is everybody is going to be sitting there. And
• 44:54
  I think they were talking about on NFL today this morning, getting ready for
• 44:58
  the playoffs is like when you know that you've got a lame coach and you
• 45:02
  know you are playing your heart out and you're like, man, this coach
• 45:06
  and talking about McCarthy, like, you know, how hard do you play
• 45:08
  when you know your coaches about get bounced? Well, same situation with what's
• 45:13
  going on down there is those Alabama players. A lot of people bounce,
• 45:17
  right, So now you've got to retool everything from a team that probably overachieved
• 45:23
  this year in Alabama. I don't think that was a very good team.
• 45:28
  I think that for a three or four game stretch we saw good play out
• 45:32
  of them. But now you I just say this is there's not a lot
• 45:37
  of coaches that you could say like by their absence you lose multiple different edges.
• 45:44
  And by Nick Saban disappearing, there's not that fear of, oh my
• 45:49
  god, you know Nick Saban is going to find out what you really want
• 45:52
  to do and just take it away. The war is going to be a
• 45:53
  good coach. I'm one hundred percent Cheryl on that one. But he's not
• 45:58
  Nick Saban. He's nowhere near it. And the moment that there any turmoil
• 46:02
  happens there, that's going to be tough. So you go to OU this
• 46:07
  team now with the the Bowl game loss, right, You've got this team
• 46:12
  who's sitting there and getting stronger. You've got the competitive depth coming in.
• 46:15
  I don't have a drink right now, so I'll pretend, but you've got
• 46:21
  that happening. You are wanting you You're going to have a chip on your
• 46:25
  shoulder and you're going to go into every single one of these games wanting to
• 46:30
  show who you are. And that is a massive mental difference then you being
• 46:36
  the dog in the big twelve that everybody's going to give the best shot to.
• 46:40
  Yeah, and that is that is something that is going to be an
• 46:45
  immediate flip right from the get go when we head in here. I got
• 46:50
  disagree with you there, and I'll say that real quick because I think everybody
• 46:54
  in the SEC's goal is to embarrass o you in Texas. Yeah, I
• 46:59
  don't doubt that. I don't doubt that. That's the only reason why I
• 47:01
  disagree with you. To have to stop you there disagrees, because I really
• 47:05
  do think that the switch that we was hoping to get of, everybody's not
• 47:08
  gonna give it. No, they want to embarrass us because they want to
• 47:10
  say their CC means more I think is BS. But your pop point outside
• 47:15
  spot, I say, this is every team outside of and I don't know
• 47:23
  who I was listening to, Maybe it was Josh Pate. Josh Pate was
• 47:27
  like, do you guys understand does the whole SEC outside of Bama and Georgia.
• 47:31
  Do you all understand who's coming into the SEC, Because if you're one
• 47:36
  of those guys going SEC SEC, you're a You're a team and a fan
• 47:39
  that has done nothing right. And so now Oklahoma's coming out to and he
• 47:45
  made a comment about how if you're a Missouri and yes, I'm talking you
• 47:49
  dipshit fans at Missouri. Sorry, I usually don't y'all. Ay, and
• 47:57
  kids, if you're watching right now and you want to know what happened and
• 47:59
  what I mean by that, ask your daddy. So you're you're sitting there
• 48:02
  thinking as a Kentucky, as a Vanderbilt, as Florida that oh you and
• 48:07
  Texas is gonna come in and now you get to know, you are going
• 48:10
  down down a notch. Here's the thing where I think is Oklahoma walks into
• 48:15
  the SEC and this whole like let's go embarrass them. They're gonna go,
• 48:20
  let's go embarrass them. But those teams are still those teams, and it's
• 48:24
  different. It's different from like, I don't think that you're gonna see SEC
• 48:28
  football doing the shenanigans and trickery that you're getting out of Kansas and out of
• 48:32
  Polk State and all these Iowa State and everything like that. They're gonna play
• 48:36
  their football. They're just gonna try to go do it really really well.
• 48:38
  And I'll say this, outside of Bama LSU, you know, with their
• 48:43
  all star team in Georgia, oh, you has not had anything to scare
• 48:47
  be scared of from SEC. You know, we played Auburn and we stuck
• 48:52
  into Auburn. We've gone out to Tennessee. We've handled Tennessee. So we
• 48:57
  got Bama ells and Georgia yeah both, I mean back in no, no,
• 49:04
  like three years ago, yeah exactly. Yeah. So we did what's
• 49:08
  his name's career, so Kyle Trask, Yeah, we ended I mean and
• 49:13
  Baker still ended his career one day at a time, So one day at
• 49:16
  a time, every time he plays that's right cooking. Yeah, he turned
• 49:27
  it red too, and everything he looked he started turn crimson the entire time
• 49:30
  he was going at it. But no, Chuck to your point, and
• 49:32
  I wanted to add this to even what Cooper saying. Yes, that was
• 49:36
  why they hired Reventables to get him to get us prepared to go into the
• 49:39
  sec and him walking in. I bet you he told him. I'm looking
• 49:44
  at the rodster and evaluations. I could work with some of this, but
• 49:46
  I'm gonna have to do a refresh to get the talent that we're gonna need
• 49:49
  based upon evals. And guess what's happened. You know when when when Coach
• 49:52
  Clinton was on with us on the last well two Sundays ago, when we
• 49:55
  came live to y'all, Brian told y'all we had like a ninety refresh of
• 50:01
  the roster. That's how few of Lincoln Riley's players have been here. In
• 50:05
  a three year span, a two years, two season span, two full
• 50:08
  seasons, we've gotten rid of just about over ninety percent of the players.
• 50:14
  That's unheard of. The only team that did that like that was Colorado and
• 50:19
  they went from one win to four, right, Like, that's not something
• 50:23
  that's typically common to see that a team that can refresh that big go from
• 50:29
  six wins and then get ten wins the next year. The talents here,
• 50:31
  they've been coached up, their conditioned. Now we're getting the depth. And
• 50:36
  so there's someone in here that made a comment that I want to point out
• 50:37
  real quick, go ahead, Jas, I'm gonna find his comment. Yeah,
• 50:40
  something that you know. And I said this in my video the other
• 50:43
  day when we were talking about who's the more ready of the you know,
• 50:49
  big eight, big twelve, Red River teams to go into the SEC.
• 50:53
  And I said it then, and I'm talking about it now. You're talking
• 50:57
  about schools like you knows said this just a second ago. You've got a
• 51:01
  lot of coaching turnover. And for as great as everybody thinks that Miszoo mid
• 51:07
  Zoo is supposed to be here, they are. They lose their defensive staff
• 51:14
  essentially to LSU, you know, but they want to sit there and act
• 51:17
  like they are on the same level as Oklahoma. It's never been that way.
• 51:22
  It's never gonna be that way. There will never be a time that
• 51:24
  I could ever tell you that I'm gonna pick Missouri to beat O you anytime,
• 51:29
  ever, ever, ever, ever, And the same would be said
• 51:31
  for Arkansas. The same would be said for ow miss The same would be
• 51:35
  said for Mississippi State in Tennessee. Any of these schools that expect that they're
• 51:39
  just gonna walk all over this, you know, Big twelve team Oklahoma,
• 51:45
  they're out of their freaking mind. Wall look at what Texas did to Alabama
• 51:49
  and Tuscaloosa. Right, And we've even said it even that earlier. This
• 51:52
  was probably Nick Samon's most impressive coaching John And I'm gonna say this, this
• 51:58
  is gonna be a little bit of a controversial on my thoughts on why Nick
• 52:01
  Saber retired. I don't think he had any fear of the NIL or transferporter.
• 52:07
  I don't think anything to do with that Outside of the personal stuff he
• 52:09
  mentioned in there. I think there was one other big reason why Nick Saban
• 52:13
  decided. You know what, I don't think I can do this NOMO at
• 52:15
  seventy two years old, retraining assistant coaches, right, Kevin still retires and
• 52:22
  he's like, dude, I've gone through so many coaches and at a certain
• 52:25
  point that's exhausting. Think about it. That's what makes Saban so great.
• 52:31
  He's been going through so many coaches every single year. Every two years he
• 52:37
  had a new offensive coordinator at least like I think, only one coach lasted
• 52:40
  three years at offensive coordinator. Now was his first three years starting year at
• 52:44
  Alabama, but outside of that, every two years. But as soon as
• 52:46
  Kirby Smart left, which Kirby Smart was his defensive coordinator for nine years,
• 52:53
  that is stability ever since then it was two years, two to three years
• 52:58
  at defensive coordinator when everybody, he said, if you think anybody besides Nick
• 53:06
  Saban is the defensive coordinator, you're crazy. Yeah, And that's what the
• 53:09
  problem was. And he even mentioned he started taking over the defense a little
• 53:13
  bit more than he wanted to, but at the same time he had to
• 53:15
  because Kevin Steele was doing it. He got rid of well, Pee Golden
• 53:17
  left, went to Old Miss and theory that was a push out. Pete
• 53:22
  Golden did end up being the guy that he was hoping he was gonna be.
• 53:23
  And that's what happens. And so my point behind all that is saving
• 53:28
  bouncing, helping us out. Thank you Nick Saban for that, and Coop,
• 53:31
  thank you for pointing that part out. But one of the things to
• 53:34
  remember, and this is something I've seen the recurring comment in here, and
• 53:37
  I'm gonna go with mess here. This is the one that was pointed out.
• 53:42
  BB needs every effort in talent like Eugene Brooks to get into rotation in
• 53:45
  spring ball, which I get. Kaden Green can earn Freshman All American,
• 53:49
  Eugene Brooks can. I love that everybody's in here concerned about Jackson on being
• 53:52
  protected. Did y'all go see the class that we brought in the defensive lineman.
• 53:57
  I'm just curious if y'all asked you. Did y'all hear? I literally
• 54:00
  had like a ten minute rant earlier, right. I literally went all in
• 54:04
  about actually about forty five minutes ago on this stream, and I purposely did
• 54:08
  that because I want you to understand, go look at the dudes we brought
• 54:12
  in. The good thing for us is we have enough guys on the offensive
• 54:21
  line that have played or been in practice with us the last two years that
• 54:25
  we'll be fine at old line and we'll be serviceable because Jackson o'nold can move.
• 54:29
  Jackson O'nold's pretty good and witty. He can go, the defense is
• 54:32
  probably gonna carry us next season, which I'm happy that they will. Twenty
• 54:37
  five the O line and the D line will be sure up enough to where
• 54:42
  we should be easily in the top five at the initial rankings. This is
• 54:46
  the good part about that, and this is why I pointed that part out.
• 54:49
  Go look at that line we brought in. Eugene Brooks is one of
• 54:52
  those players that a lot of us is thinking he might play the best D
• 54:58
  line class since this their days. I mean, Jeral McCoy was right when
• 55:02
  he came in, but he was by himself basically who else you we didn't
• 55:07
  think we're we're seeing a complete complete change of the of the new era of
• 55:14
  sooner civilization. So they haven't had four top one hundred defensive linemen like they
• 55:20
  have in the last two seasons in fifteen years. Yeah, we're seeing a
• 55:25
  difference. And I'll say that you know with I check my math on this
• 55:30
  one. But with Jerald McCoy, I think Jeremy Bill was the second most
• 55:36
  touted and he ended up being kind of a linebacker slash edge. So I
• 55:40
  mean, there you go like that. These guys. I mean, Jadon
• 55:44
  Jackson, I knew when he and you guys do not remember, dude,
• 55:50
  he was guaranteed to Texas. He came in self escorted by David dumb and
• 55:57
  then what did he do right there? That's right. So if this you
• 56:01
  got two dudes that want to play with each other two that's the best part
• 56:05
  about Jay and Jackson David Stone together. They love playing next to each other
• 56:08
  because one will eat up the blocks and get the other one free, and
• 56:12
  the other will do the same thing with the other. But then you start
• 56:15
  adding all the other people you have, get your R Mason Thomas, your
• 56:17
  PG out aboard, Andy R. Koya. The defensive line, of course,
• 56:21
  is all great. The linebackers are getting more experienced this year. Our
• 56:23
  secondary is our most experienced part of the team, which I'm very happy to
• 56:28
  see that. On the offensive line, I promise you y'all may not know
• 56:32
  these dudes, just like y'all didn't really talk much about Jay Gibson as well
• 56:37
  as Nick Anderson right going into this season, and question about Andrew Anthony if
• 56:43
  he was gonna be any good or if Drake Stoops really is gonna be that
• 56:45
  impactful in this team. Remember we were saying about all that about the wide
• 56:49
  receivers. Yeah, the offensive line is gonna be just fine too. They've
• 56:54
  got the players that they want that's gonna go in there and start college problems.
• 56:57
  Now, are they gonna be like a Joe Moore winning line? Too
• 57:00
  young for that. I think that it's gonna take another year for us to
• 57:02
  get to that point. But I like the backups we have. I can't
• 57:06
  wait to see heath O Zada, who I heard pretty nasty dude, Like
• 57:09
  he's got a nasty streak to him. That was a tame that kayon greenhead.
• 57:13
  But you got Eugene Brooks, who we watched toss around a bunch of
• 57:15
  five stars, Isaiah Autrey who watching his film when they win its Mississippi versus
• 57:21
  Alabama, that that game that they play, he looked nasty playing against those
• 57:25
  other four and five star players. Josh from last season, guys like that.
• 57:30
  I mean, there's guys that are on this offensive line that are gonna
• 57:32
  compete for time on this offensive line that are gonna be just fine. I
• 57:39
  don't think Joshua Bays had a practice this year that he didn't get in a
• 57:43
  fight with somebody. I love that. I freaking love that. Yeah,
• 57:52
  is it he's uh, and I'll say this, I can coom he's gonna
• 57:57
  be on the show here before too long. And now that he's over here,
• 58:00
  but talking to some I mean talking to Koya, talking to dan Atkin
• 58:05
  Komi. Right now, these guys are going in and they're they're learning what
• 58:09
  it's like to be standing next to someone who is just as good as you
• 58:14
  and then you start learning some some chemistry. But you bring an epl who
• 58:19
  dude was running was at a four to six. Did you see that video?
• 58:22
  It looked like it looked like some photoshopping was going on because the dude's
• 58:25
  running next to him. Was it look like a g I'm not I can't
• 58:30
  say anything politically correct right there, but yeah, we've got we've got talent.
• 58:34
  Galore Sexton again, yesterday was a year since he had the surgery.
• 58:38
  It's still an acl and he is going to end. He's been flipping flopping
• 58:44
  all over the place. So you've got Everett, You've got baits who are
• 58:46
  going to fight it out for the center. You've got the kids who are
• 58:51
  on campus now. And you know we've got plenty of We've got plenty.
• 58:55
  We've got plenty. We've got plenty of talent, and what you're going to
• 58:59
  say is you're going to see, uh, you know, Jackson Arnold is
• 59:04
  going to have let me stop it with here. The R P O game
• 59:08
  is going to go a little bit away, not all the way away,
• 59:13
  but it's gonna a lot of it's going to go away. If you've got
• 59:15
  the offensive line who's trying to learn, you're going to pass the ball outside,
• 59:22
  you're gonna get the ball out. So guys like Burks who are coming
• 59:24
  in, it's it's go time, right. You want to you want to
• 59:29
  get the ball sidelined to sideline and then use them stretch plays. So you
• 59:32
  want to make sure that the defensive line is always going to be thinking of
• 59:37
  is it outside, are they stretching, are they pulling? What's going on?
• 59:40
  And that's going to be how that how the season starts out. And
• 59:44
  then every once in a while you're gonna get some series to where they're like,
• 59:46
  all right, guys, let's go lean on some folks and let's see
• 59:49
  what you guys can do. So, yes, it is going to be
• 59:52
  tough. It is not going to be the uh, you know, Orlando
• 59:54
  Brown, you know, Create Humphrey, your Ben powers. We're not gonn
• 1:00:00
  see that line. You're gonna see You're gonna see side to side, and
• 1:00:02
  that's gonna be That's gonna be fine. And as net line starts getting better
• 1:00:07
  and better and better, it's game time. And so with the RPO go
• 1:00:12
  I mean, because Levy was a full on RPO and we saw a little
• 1:00:15
  bit of the same offense in the bowl game. But you're gonna pull back
• 1:00:19
  off the r PO from a from you know, a majority of the time.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah, yeah, you're gonna see a different offense when you get Seth
• 1:00:25
  Latreill running things. Right. He's already even said it. Even Jackson I
• 1:00:30
  don't mention that he liked that this staff went in with the similar offense they've
• 1:00:34
  been running all season just to keep continuity going into the bowl game. But
• 1:00:37
  they're gonna install all the new stuff in there. But man, yeah,
• 1:00:42
  haul him back. The twenty five kid. Yeah, he's gonna be your
• 1:00:44
  next Creed. He's like three hundred and forty pounds and he doesn't look it.
• 1:00:47
  He's a slim through forty. But the other thing to remember too here
• 1:00:52
  is you still, as mentioned EPO, won't be here till the summer.
• 1:00:55
  You know cause I think he does track as well. Outside of just running
• 1:00:59
  those hundred yards, I think he does like shot putting stuff like that.
• 1:01:01
  He actually he does track stuff. So he won't be here until the summer.
• 1:01:06
  Teammates with Lewis Carter the Crimson Missile. They're gonna be nasty of a
• 1:01:10
  combo when it comes to the way this line's gonna come together the summer.
• 1:01:15
  And also remember, if you know, knock on wool, we don't have
• 1:01:17
  any injuries, but if something does come down the pipe and we feel like
• 1:01:20
  we need to go after someone in the portal, Supreme Portal is gonna be
• 1:01:22
  probably the busiest one anyway, because at that point you're gonna see a lot
• 1:01:25
  of people making any decisions if they want to stay where they're at, if
• 1:01:29
  they're gonna go somewhere else. So I tell everybody keep your eyes open for
• 1:01:31
  the Supreme Portal. That's when we picked up Dejon Terry So and he's back
• 1:01:37
  and he's gonna probably direct some shop in the SEC next year because he's gonna
• 1:01:39
  be a double team as much. He's got a lot of people behind him
• 1:01:43
  that's gonna make it even tougher. We've got it and as Bishop mentioned here,
• 1:01:46
  we've got a lot of young linemen. It's gonna do some very good
• 1:01:52
  stuff. And I love this too, Jay. This is the one thing
• 1:01:54
  that jumped out to me too is we got we got bi weeks before all
• 1:01:57
  of our important games. The Alabama game doesn't scare me as much. But
• 1:02:00
  I don't want us to write off Alabama because they're bringing some of the Washington
• 1:02:06
  kids over. So they're bringing dudes that just came back from the Natty while
• 1:02:09
  keeping a lot of the Alabama talent. Alabama's refreshing their roster similar to what
• 1:02:15
  we have to deal with. They're at and I talked that our boy tie
• 1:02:19
  they have, they're at about seventy they're at seventy. They're about seventy eight
• 1:02:23
  I think seventy five to seventy eight scholarships now, so they're finally under their
• 1:02:28
  number. That attrition was gonna happen anyway. They lose about twenty kids a
• 1:02:31
  year because they have to get down because Bama still brings in big classes.
• 1:02:36
  If y'all notice that they still bring in a lot of big classes, and
• 1:02:39
  they sure up in the transfer portal like they need to. Well, they've
• 1:02:43
  had like thirty people leave, gets them under the number they want to and
• 1:02:47
  they're starting to bring in portal dudes, so they're gonna be fine. But
• 1:02:50
  that's what we're doing too. I think we are right. I think we're
• 1:02:54
  five. We may be close to five scholarships over. I have to go
• 1:02:58
  look at the last and set of numbers with everybody. But we still got
• 1:03:00
  some moving that we gotta do. And we'll wrap it up and talk about
• 1:03:05
  these Hatchet. The Hatchet brother brothers who are in the portal from Washington,
• 1:03:09
  as we've talked about before, both of them visited Oklahoma while they were recruits
• 1:03:15
  and decide to stay home in Washington. Well, one of them is in
• 1:03:19
  town and he's doing a visit. He's been all over the Innewebs. We're
• 1:03:23
  just waiting for some final information to come down the line. But Coop,
• 1:03:28
  how you feel about the potential of a hatchet pulling up to Oklahoma. I
• 1:03:36
  really think that there's gonna be some I really think that there's gonna I think
• 1:03:42
  that they end up here. It's it's I'm I'm I feel positive about it,
• 1:03:49
  and it's uh, you know, I I really don't want to I
• 1:03:54
  feel like if you don't get them. It's not a big deal, but
• 1:03:58
  I feel like any we do need numbers. I don't want to wait to
• 1:04:01
  the spring because that that you know, that's a tough that's a tough deal
• 1:04:05
  to you know, try to fit in chemistry wise. But you know,
• 1:04:11
  when you look at the portal we started out with, you know the chemistry
• 1:04:14
  portion. But let's just do this is when you take a look at you
• 1:04:19
  take a look at everybody that is on the offensive line that's coming in.
• 1:04:25
  If if they're very, very comfortable in all these guys, does it hurt
• 1:04:30
  to bring in other guys? You know, so you need you need I
• 1:04:36
  think that we need around seventeen eighteen offensive linemen on the roster, functional working
• 1:04:44
  offensive lineman on the roster, and you got it. I mean they gotta
• 1:04:48
  be, they gotta be. They gotta be people who can you can put
• 1:04:50
  out there and play because we saw it up from the defensive secondary. You
• 1:04:55
  know, at one point that was the strength of our team. Then the
• 1:04:58
  injury buck hurt hit a and the drop off was not as bad as it
• 1:05:02
  used to be, but it lost us a game with Gentry being banged up,
• 1:05:09
  and you know, can I walker he bawled out in a lot of
• 1:05:11
  different times. But again you just want to make sure because to win the
• 1:05:16
  national Championship and to go to the playoffs, your competitive depth needs to be
• 1:05:23
  minuscule drop off. Now, what makes you win is when you have a
• 1:05:28
  Gentry Williams in a woody playing to the best, not having Gentry fifty to
• 1:05:32
  fifty and then can I Walker sliding in. So you got to continue to
• 1:05:36
  do that because like you said, you know, if we're four or five
• 1:05:40
  over, you're you're gonna kind of press pause on who you're pushing out or
• 1:05:45
  suggesting to to to make it to make it go, because you know you've
• 1:05:49
  got guys and I mentioned this in the past, is with the competitive depth
• 1:05:54
  pieces, you're gonna start seeing guys that you don't want to see leave,
• 1:05:58
  like a Jaden Row. He might be somebody who is on the block to
• 1:06:01
  leave. You bring in a linebacker. Now all of a sudden, Lewis
• 1:06:03
  Carter goesh, should I maybe go back home? You know? So you
• 1:06:08
  want to watch for stuff like that because these guys are ballers, and if
• 1:06:12
  they've got a bunch of if they got four or five people in front of
• 1:06:14
  them, they want to play and the years of you know, sitting around
• 1:06:18
  and you know, starting for two years, you know, your junior and
• 1:06:21
  senior year. That's just tough. It's just tough for these kids to do
• 1:06:25
  that, especially when they've got handlers pinging them and saying, hey, listen,
• 1:06:29
  we got one starting safety. You know, we could really work,
• 1:06:31
  we really work and get you in here. And I think that's why you
• 1:06:34
  saw day McCalla bounce is because he knew that he was a ways down the
• 1:06:40
  depth. Agreed. I don't know that Robert was asking if both come,
• 1:06:48
  who transfers out? I don't know that you do have anybody transfer Again,
• 1:06:53
  the offensive line is one of those positions that you need a lot of depth
• 1:06:57
  there because there's guys that get hurt. They're going through freaking car accidents every
• 1:07:00
  play. You know, it is what it is. It's I think that
• 1:07:04
  these guys are Look, you guys know that I have been the guy who
• 1:07:11
  has been the least you know, optimistic about year one in the SEC,
• 1:07:17
  just because of the schedule, if nothing else, and the fact that you
• 1:07:20
  have a essentially a freshman quarterback starting. I think that there is a reason
• 1:07:29
  to temper expectations a bit so that you don't have to freaking fire BV if
• 1:07:33
  they go nine to three, you know what I mean, or you know,
• 1:07:36
  have the whole the whole fan base freaking out about it. Anyway,
• 1:07:43
  I just feel like it's just but I do think that the more that we
• 1:07:47
  see with what's going on in Alabama, with the fact that the teams that
• 1:07:51
  are on their way up in the SEC, aside from Georgia, of course,
• 1:07:57
  are still works in progress. Also now again, I still believe that
• 1:08:02
  this is gonna be a tough schedule, but there all works in progress,
• 1:08:05
  so you can I think theoretically you can come in there and win ten games
• 1:08:11
  and compete for a playoff spot right away. Is it as easy as what
• 1:08:15
  it should be for Texas? No, but Texas has a side from Oklahoma
• 1:08:19
  in Georgia. Texas's conference slate is below fourteen games, below five hundred and
• 1:08:27
  twenty twenty three. They should no way if they split with OU in Georgia
• 1:08:31
  that they is any way they should not be in the conference championship game.
• 1:08:36
  But that doesn't mean that Oklahoma can't do it. Though that doesn't because again
• 1:08:40
  I'm never gonna tell you that mid Zoo is gonna be on the field with
• 1:08:43
  ou when it all comes down to it. I believe that Ole Miss is
• 1:08:46
  gonna be a tough game. I think that Auburn may reach up and scary,
• 1:08:50
  But I also believe that I'm not too sure that Oklahoma kids give a
• 1:08:54
  shit about Jordan Hare Stadium and what it means to everybody else because they don't
• 1:08:59
  want they don't know anything about it, you know, right. I for
• 1:09:03
  a lot of people, the thing to understand Antony saying here, which is
• 1:09:06
  hilarious, Uh, we're not ready stop the hype. I mean you can.
• 1:09:11
  You can sulk and be sad if you want to. But I understand
• 1:09:15
  the type of players that were recruiting that what we're trying to do, Uh,
• 1:09:17
  going in with a freshman, they with a sophomore quarterback actually since he
• 1:09:21
  won't be a rich shirt a sophomore quarterback and Jackson Arnold. I'm not that
• 1:09:27
  concerned because I would be concerned if the players were a little nervous about the
• 1:09:33
  way that he was practicing. And like there's a lot of players that have
• 1:09:36
  been they've been gassing him more than I expected. You don't really hear that
• 1:09:41
  about player top my backup They're like, no, no, Nah, he's
• 1:09:43
  a dude. So I think that he's We're gonna be fine there. And
• 1:09:45
  Jason, you made a great point. A lot of these teams. The
• 1:09:47
  only team that's really not refreshing at the most critical position is Texas and uh
• 1:09:55
  Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss and Georgia. Quinn Quinn is still the starting
• 1:10:03
  quarterback. That's my point. That's my point. You got Quinn there,
• 1:10:08
  You've got Jackson Dark coming back to Ole Miss. You've got Jayleen milro Is
• 1:10:12
  gonna return to Alabama. That terrifies me. With Ryan Grubb one hundred percent,
• 1:10:16
  it terrifies the hell out of me. And then Georgia get Carson Beck.
• 1:10:20
  I mean, I don't know how I feel about Missouri and Brady.
• 1:10:24
  I wasn't very high on Brady Cook this year anyway, but you know he's
• 1:10:27
  coming back with whateverse you know. But him and Jackson Dark to me are
• 1:10:29
  in the same category. What am I supposed to be afraid of? With
• 1:10:31
  them? Right? There's a way that you can get them going. We've
• 1:10:33
  seen other teams do it to them. Our defense is gonna be what carries
• 1:10:38
  us, and so as long as we're going against Nico, who's a younger
• 1:10:41
  quarterback. He's a stud. I actually have fear of him. But same
• 1:10:45
  time, he's still you know, we're gonna find a way. Our defense
• 1:10:47
  is gonna carry us through these major games against these bigger, these better players,
• 1:10:53
  especially at the quarterback spot. Like you just said, Jason, Texas
• 1:10:57
  is doing a lot of refreshing. They got defeat. You got to think
• 1:11:02
  about bo Davis included there because of the fact they've got a bunch of new
• 1:11:06
  defensive lineman. I know, Colin Simmons is a dude, I get it,
• 1:11:10
  but man, you got to think about the fact that they've got a
• 1:11:13
  lot of guys along that line that haven't gotten a lot of time. Their
• 1:11:15
  secondary is are refreshed. They're not that good either. Look, I think
• 1:11:21
  Texas may have blew their shot. They had their most realistic chance to win
• 1:11:27
  the Natty this season, and they went out there and didn't get it done.
• 1:11:31
  Yeah, they did not get it done. They had their chance,
• 1:11:35
  it was there, but what happened they didn't do it. So now all
• 1:11:39
  we got to do is make sure that they don't have a chance to do
• 1:11:41
  it any other time. We've got to make sure that we pushed them down
• 1:11:45
  the stairs. Yeah, that's got to push them downstairs and make sure that
• 1:11:50
  we continue to push that forward. So cool, trap this bad boy yet,
• 1:11:57
  what's your thoughts? Yeah, this team is going to You're gonna see
• 1:12:04
  some really cool stuff. This is now Like I said in year three,
• 1:12:10
  you've got all this culture. It is a player led team. Just as
• 1:12:15
  well. Zach Ally is going to be a major factor on the recruiting shoil.
• 1:12:19
  But it allows more energy. Brent Vinables can be floating around. Ali
• 1:12:27
  is many Brent Vinables. He is going to be sitting there with the linebackers.
• 1:12:30
  And but you got another year where Brandon Hall is going to continue to
• 1:12:39
  make them That safety room think about it, guys, Our safety room is
• 1:12:44
  a strength of our team, like we have. If it's Peyton Bowen and
• 1:12:47
  Billy Bowman starting this as a safety tandem, how far away is that from
• 1:12:56
  what we've seen three years ago, four years ago? It is amazing.
• 1:13:00
  Like you've got that, You've got some health and some more maturity from the
• 1:13:04
  defensive backs. So with Java Lai, Uh, guys, I don't I
• 1:13:09
  don't think that we're rolling into the SEC with any fear. I think that
• 1:13:13
  you've got guys who that is a the camaraderie of let's go take it to
• 1:13:19
  them, guys, that's what we're going to be leading with. And I
• 1:13:24
  think that where the debt that's different from like Texas is most of the times.
• 1:13:29
  I mean, the the thoughts around Texas are we're Texas. It's just
• 1:13:33
  the confidence we're Texas. So they show up and they're expecting you guys should
• 1:13:38
  fear us. We're Texas. I think that the rally cry is different on
• 1:13:42
  both sides, and so I have a lot of optimism and I've been bringing
• 1:13:45
  up the quarterback refresh sorrk has better. Okay, God, they're losing again.
• 1:13:53
  Your top two receivers, you're top, you're tight end, you have
• 1:13:58
  the top three strength strength of your team, which was your defensive line,
• 1:14:02
  they're gone. You're bringing in a bunch of mercenaries, and Texas already has
• 1:14:08
  a culture issue, and so you bring it in much mercenaries guys I would
• 1:14:13
  expect. Watched Texas watch. I have a feeling we might see a little
• 1:14:18
  regression from Texas this year from something semi catastrophic. I think that their schedule
• 1:14:26
  is going to make it hard for them to fall too far, because I
• 1:14:29
  mean literally, it's just bad coming down the stretch. But oh it is.
• 1:14:32
  I do agree with what you're talking about. I think that the difference
• 1:14:36
  in Oklahoma and Texas last year going into the Red River, what was everybody
• 1:14:41
  saying, They're going to kill us in the trenches. They're gonna kill us
• 1:14:44
  in the trenches. They're gonna kill us in the trenches. And then what
• 1:14:45
  happened? They didn't. They got dominated in the trenches. Their offensive line
• 1:14:51
  did not have the push that they expected it to get. You know,
• 1:14:55
  their defensive line wasn't getting to dealing game and Oklahoma's defensive line was getting to
• 1:15:02
  Quinn. And and here's the thing. The one thing I'll say about Quinn
• 1:15:05
  is he's afraid to go down the field. The underneath passes are great,
• 1:15:11
  but you could Ben Ben bend all day, just like they did, and
• 1:15:15
  just like Washington did. Really, once it got down to it, Ben
• 1:15:19
  Ben Ben take away the deep ball. They're in trouble, and he's afraid
• 1:15:24
  to go down the field. He was afraid to go at the end zone
• 1:15:27
  from twelve yards out and the Sugar Bowl, this is who we're supposed to
• 1:15:30
  be afraid of. Yeah, there's a lot to recognize, and we'll dive
• 1:15:35
  deeper into that as we go through the spring, because you know, as
• 1:15:39
  we see who they finally finish up with and what the rosters look like,
• 1:15:43
  there's a lot to point out. And like you said, they lost some
• 1:15:45
  coaches, they lost some players, they lost a lot more critical stuff than
• 1:15:47
  I think we did at all. And so s wrap it up at the
• 1:15:51
  bowl to Jason, let the people know where to find you. How y'all
• 1:15:55
  get back to y'alls evening. I gotta go finished packing, so I hit
