2:09

SPEAKER_04: They are they are directional, but they're not It says North.
2:20
SPEAKER_04: I know.
2:21
SPEAKER_04: I know what you're getting at, but North Carolina is a state.
2:26
SPEAKER_06: Like the northern portion of Carolina.
2:29
SPEAKER_06: So they go and lose to northern portion of Carolina in Ireland, and they only put 10 points on a directional school.
2:37
SPEAKER_06: Are you kidding me?
2:38
SPEAKER_04: Jaden Craig, famous nerd coming over from Harvard.
2:44
SPEAKER_04: Some call it the Texas Tech of the Ivy League schools.
2:48
SPEAKER_06: It's the Texas Tech of uh the Boston area.
2:52

SPEAKER_04: Uh 20 of 32, 175 yards, uh, no touchdowns.
3:01
SPEAKER_04: 27.1 QBR.
3:05
SPEAKER_06: I was told great.
3:07
SPEAKER_06: I was told that this guy looks really good.
3:11
SPEAKER_06: In practice, he looks really good.
3:13
SPEAKER_06: Were they talking about homework?
3:15
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
3:16
SPEAKER_06: Was he like doing homework without crushing 10 keystone lights?
3:23
SPEAKER_04: They do that at every major university, I thought.
3:26
SPEAKER_06: I know.
3:26
SPEAKER_06: That's that's study time, dude.
3:28
SPEAKER_04: Study time.
3:28
SPEAKER_04: Just get a couple stones and maybe you gotta test the next day.
3:32
SPEAKER_06: Maybe do three questions on your homework.
3:35
SPEAKER_06: Oops.
3:36
SPEAKER_06: And then do the rest at 7 a.m.
3:40
SPEAKER_04: Wake up in a panic, in a cold sweat.
3:43
SPEAKER_04: Um DCU looked j like genuinely awful in this game.
3:49
SPEAKER_04: And this always happens in the Dublin game.
3:52
SPEAKER_04: It's happened, I think, the last four years that they've had this, where one team both teams usually look really bad because this game is always in a rainstorm.
4:02
SPEAKER_04: This game is across the world, and it makes and it's in week zero, and it makes no sense.
4:09
SPEAKER_04: Why would any team do this?
4:11
SPEAKER_06: Are you implying that only one team looked bad?
4:14
SPEAKER_04: They both looked horrible.
4:16
SPEAKER_06: They both looked bad, dude.
4:18
SPEAKER_06: They both looked bad.
4:19
SPEAKER_04: It's just one team happened to score five more points.
4:23
SPEAKER_04: This this game was 15 to 10.
4:27
SPEAKER_06: They they they pull off the reverse Ellis Island for this.
4:30
SPEAKER_06: Yes, was this worth it?
4:32
SPEAKER_04: No, in no way, shape, or form was this worth it.
4:35
SPEAKER_04: Um it's I thought DC was gonna be okay.
4:40
SPEAKER_06: I I thought I thought TC was gonna be good.
4:41
SPEAKER_06: It the the shit of it is they might be.
4:43
SPEAKER_06: Like, this game might mean absolutely nothing, which is the really bad part about all of this, to be honest.
4:50
SPEAKER_06: Like they could blow it to the directional U and then go on and win seven or eight games.
4:57
SPEAKER_06: You know?
4:58
SPEAKER_06: Like that could happen.
4:59
SPEAKER_06: That's not stupid.
5:00
SPEAKER_04: That's the nightmare scenario right now for the Big 12.
5:04
SPEAKER_04: They made they made the Big 12 look horrible to start off the year.
5:09
SPEAKER_04: Let's let's kind of paint the picture here.
5:10
SPEAKER_04: We're all anticipating college football coming back this week.
5:13
SPEAKER_06: Oh, goes or acrylics.
5:16
SPEAKER_04: Everybody's so excited.
5:18
SPEAKER_06: What utensil are you using to paint the picture?
5:24
SPEAKER_04: My my words.
5:26
SPEAKER_04: That's what I'm using.
5:30
SPEAKER_04: So stupid.
5:31
SPEAKER_04: Um week zero college football.
5:37
SPEAKER_04: We're all excited.
5:38
SPEAKER_04: It's finally back, baby.
5:40
SPEAKER_04: It's finally back.
5:42
SPEAKER_04: The first Hey, this is a last week zero.
5:45
SPEAKER_04: Last week zero.
5:46
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
5:46
SPEAKER_04: Recipes.
5:48
SPEAKER_04: People are excited.
5:48
SPEAKER_04: The real ones are excited, not Josh Payton, but the real ones are excited for week zero.
5:53
SPEAKER_04: TCU North Carolina, Bill Belichick's a mess.
5:57
SPEAKER_04: TCU made the national championship like three years ago, four years ago.
6:02
SPEAKER_04: And everybody's watching at 11 a.m.
6:06
SPEAKER_04: This is the first power four game of the entire college football season.
6:10
SPEAKER_04: And TCU makes the Big 12 look like a dumpster fire.
6:15
SPEAKER_04: We just lost to the ACC, who we have to compete with as the Big 12.
6:20
SPEAKER_04: We're compared to the ACC, we're not compared to the SEC Big Ten, we're compared to the ACC.
6:24
SPEAKER_06: It's assume we're better.
6:25
SPEAKER_04: Because yeah.
6:26
SPEAKER_04: And one of the worst teams in the ACC just goes and blows the doors off of, not blows the door off of, but beats TCU and makes them look foolish on the offensive side of the field against an ACC team that finished near the bottom of the ACC last year and won four games.
6:46
SPEAKER_06: What if old sneaky Bill snuck in his retired Super Bowl team out there and just no one noticed?
6:55
SPEAKER_04: Old creepy Bill went and got uh Tom Burating was out there.
6:59
SPEAKER_06: I don't think anyone really noticed.
7:01
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he was just number nine and had the name Billy Edwards and and dyed his hair red.
7:07
SPEAKER_04: Uh no, it wasn't good.
7:10
SPEAKER_04: And even they weren't good.
7:11
SPEAKER_04: There was no Patriots players out there.
7:13
SPEAKER_04: They were horrible, they looked terrible, and uh and they still won.
7:17
SPEAKER_04: And TCU didn't score for the last three quarters.
7:20
SPEAKER_04: And what what is the effect on the Big 12 here, honestly?
7:23
SPEAKER_06: You know, it's it's not a good look.
7:26
SPEAKER_06: I'm I'm gonna be real.
7:27
SPEAKER_06: Hot take.
7:28
SPEAKER_06: Not a good look to lose to uh direction uh bull uh messy directional you taught by a punchline of the greatest coach of all time, which is kind of weird to come out of your mouth like that.
7:39
SPEAKER_06: Um, but at the same time, isn't this kind of like if you're gonna drop a stinker, is this not also kind of the best case scenario?
7:47
SPEAKER_06: You drop a stinker in week zero in Ireland, where the internet actually doesn't reach here, so no one really knows that game happened.
7:56
SPEAKER_06: So it's at the end of the day, I think everyone's just gonna kind of forget about it by week five or six.
8:01
SPEAKER_06: No one even knows what week five or six is.
8:03
SPEAKER_06: Those numbers are just an enigma.
8:05
SPEAKER_06: So at that point, it's it's who cares.
8:08
SPEAKER_04: So here's what we need to happen if you're a Big 12 fan.
8:10
SPEAKER_04: First off, you need a TCU to win this game.
8:12
SPEAKER_04: If you're a Big 12 fan, you need the you have to be.
8:15
SPEAKER_06: It was a must-win.
8:16
SPEAKER_04: You need every Big 12 team to beat their non-conference opponents as often as we possibly can.
8:20
SPEAKER_06: Wait, especially when they're reasonable and like and like without question when you're favored.
8:26
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no doubt.
8:27
SPEAKER_04: Like it was like when Oklahoma State lost to Tulsa last year.
8:30
SPEAKER_04: It's like, come on.
8:32
SPEAKER_04: It's funny, it's funny, but it makes us all look horrible.
8:38
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
8:38
SPEAKER_06: And thankfully, Oklahoma State went on to not win a game.
8:42
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
8:42
SPEAKER_04: I mean, the ideal situation here is just TCU just straights it straight up implodes.
8:47
SPEAKER_06: That is nice.
8:48
SPEAKER_06: That is a nice scenario.
8:50
SPEAKER_04: This is this is what could what could you know right the waters where TCU is just really, really, really bad.
8:59
SPEAKER_04: And one can only pray.
9:01
SPEAKER_04: They finish in the bottom four of the conference, and everybody's just like, oh yeah, okay.
9:04
SPEAKER_04: So they were just bad.
9:06
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and like only UCF is worse.
9:08
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
9:11
SPEAKER_04: Gotta throw you gotta throw one UCF jab in every single episode from now on.
9:15
SPEAKER_04: Um this year, or else that would have been.
9:20
SPEAKER_04: I think at that if we were playing UCF this year, you it would just be your episode.
9:25
SPEAKER_04: You just destroy the universe that you take over.
9:28
SPEAKER_04: Um so yeah, not a good look for the Big 12.
9:31
SPEAKER_04: Obviously, this means that everybody else has to pick up their stuff.
9:35
SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, we're gonna need a big one from BYU, we're gonna need a big one from Arizona State, potentially, we're gonna need you know, tech to take care of business.
9:43
SPEAKER_04: But um I hope.
9:45
SPEAKER_04: I I hope.
9:47
SPEAKER_04: Good lord, because this is a brutal start for the conference.
9:51
SPEAKER_06: Everyone's gonna have to give Sonny Dykes, that dork, a swirly.
9:55
SPEAKER_06: Uh have we ripped his diploma off his wall yet?
9:59
SPEAKER_06: He's cooked.
10:01
SPEAKER_06: Sonny Dykes.
10:02
SPEAKER_04: Like a bad dork.
10:03
SPEAKER_04: Bad ball coach.
10:04
SPEAKER_04: He's that guy's dude.
10:06
SPEAKER_04: He's bad.
10:08
SPEAKER_06: Look, I mean, this is it's it's so unfair to say this, but was that national run a fluke?
10:14
SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
10:15
SPEAKER_04: I mean, everything since then.
10:17
SPEAKER_06: Like everything has pointed to that being a fluke.
10:19
SPEAKER_04: And he picked the quarterback that the second string had to come in for the national title run.
10:24
SPEAKER_04: He actually didn't want Max Duggan to start on that team.
10:27
SPEAKER_06: And you know, bananas.
10:28
SPEAKER_04: He was the guy that took them all the way.
10:30
SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, Sonny Dykes is and and career average at best coach uh at at Cal and at SU.
10:38
SPEAKER_06: No, he was not an average at Cal.
10:39
SPEAKER_04: No, I know he was bad at Cal.
10:41
SPEAKER_04: And Cal's not the easiest job.
10:42
SPEAKER_06: No, it's not the easiest job.
10:43
SPEAKER_04: No, it's not the easiest job, but it's also he was he was bad at Cal.
10:47
SPEAKER_04: He was average at SMU, somehow stumbled his way upwards to TC.
10:51
SPEAKER_04: Easy job.
10:52
SPEAKER_04: Easy job.
10:53
SPEAKER_06: SMU.
10:54
SPEAKER_06: I feel like that's an easy job.
10:56
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, especially when they were when they were in the American team.
10:59
SPEAKER_06: You know, but that was the old American.
11:01
SPEAKER_06: I mean, the old American was better, but it was better.
11:04
SPEAKER_04: But it still wasn't like what it wasn't no.
11:06
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
11:07
SPEAKER_06: You're still one of the most resource heavy teams there.
11:10
SPEAKER_04: Anyway, yeah, we digress.
11:12
SPEAKER_04: Enough of that.
11:14
SPEAKER_04: Uh, it was a bad showing, and I'm I'm a little upset at the Hornfrogs for being so bad.
11:19
SPEAKER_04: Um, but it is still funny.
11:21
SPEAKER_06: Well, it's I think we just need an old switcheroo here in the Big 12.
11:24
SPEAKER_06: We just need uh a little uh little sloppy in a good way, where the sloppy is TCU being projected a good team, and while a projected bad team like a uh an Iowa State ends up being actually mad decent.
11:37
SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
11:38
SPEAKER_06: Like it's like just have have them reverse with somebody, you know what I mean?
11:41
SPEAKER_04: And that's and that's very possible.
11:42
SPEAKER_04: You know, the Big 12's weird, man.
11:44
SPEAKER_04: We could have one of these bottom feeders that we're not expecting come out of nowhere.
11:47
SPEAKER_04: I'd I've been seeing some West Virginia dark horse stuff, I've been seeing some other stuff around uh the college football sphere.
11:55
SPEAKER_06: The Big 12's weird, but I feel like it's getting less weird.
11:59
SPEAKER_06: At least I kind of hope it's getting a little less weird, you know?
12:03
SPEAKER_06: Like I hope we have a I hope you know we have a few greats and then good for the rest.
12:08
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, not a whole lot of like variation of uh you know, up and down, up and down, up and down.
12:13
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean we'll see how the rest of it goes.
12:15
SPEAKER_04: We're not gonna learn a lot after week one.
12:17
SPEAKER_04: We'll talk about that a little later.
12:19
SPEAKER_06: I'm glad we're overreacting to week zero, though.
12:21
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, they actually played an opponent that you know is a brand name versus everybody else here who's playing nobody except for Colorado, actually.
12:29
SPEAKER_04: And UCF.
12:33
SPEAKER_04: Bethune Cookman.

14:15
SPEAKER_04: It wasn't a good showing for for the Wildcats up there in Abilene, losing to Lamar 21 to 14.

14:58

15:00
SPEAKER_04: Not good.
15:01
SPEAKER_04: They they took care of business.
15:02
SPEAKER_04: I I watched the game, and Abilene Christian, so they start, they have two true sophomores or red shirt sophomores at quarterback.
15:12
SPEAKER_04: Um, they played Tucker Parks to start the game, threw an interception, and then threw another interception, and then he didn't play the rest of the game.
15:21
SPEAKER_04: Uh, John David Black came in there and actually gave him a little life, scored a touchdown to end the first half, and then they gave up a quick one with uh with about a minute and a half left in the in the first half to Lamar, and then uh it was just it was it's bad football, man.
15:37
SPEAKER_04: This is a young team, uh the Wildcats, and we should say coaching staff, a lot of good guys on this coaching staff.
15:44
SPEAKER_04: We we like yeah, we like ACU, we like the relationship we that tech has with ACU.
15:50
SPEAKER_04: Um, I was listening to Keith Patterson's, who's the head coach, former Texas Tech defensive coordinator, of course.
15:56
SPEAKER_04: Uh, I was listening to his presser today when they were talking about Texas Tech, and he's just a good dude, just a genuine guy.
16:03
SPEAKER_04: Like, there's a you don't get a lot of good characters these days running college football programs.
16:08
SPEAKER_04: And Keith Patterson's a good one.
16:09
SPEAKER_04: He's he's a good guy that wants the best for his guys.
16:12
SPEAKER_06: We never hated him.
16:13
SPEAKER_06: No, we never hated him.
16:15
SPEAKER_04: No, I mean he he just he was hamstrung by having Matt Wells as his head coach.
16:19
SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna say that Keith Patterson was like this uh phenomenal defensive partner.
16:23
SPEAKER_04: He was he was better than anything we had with Cliff.
16:26
SPEAKER_06: Yes, I was about to say, like, yeah, he he he might have been actually better than what he had to deal with at tech.
16:32
SPEAKER_06: Like that was a post-Kingsbury defense.
16:36
SPEAKER_06: So we have to get you know grade him on that curve.
16:40
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and and I dude, we like him.
16:42
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, listen, no, he's got a good relationship with Joey.
16:44
SPEAKER_04: Obviously, there's the pipeline of guys that are gonna enter the transfer portal from tech.
16:49
SPEAKER_04: Maybe they don't get playing time, they're just not good enough.
16:51
SPEAKER_04: ACU obviously is is one of those schools that guys look to um after their Texas Tech tenure.
16:57
SPEAKER_04: And this team is no different.
16:59
SPEAKER_04: They have six former Red Raiders on their team.
17:03
SPEAKER_04: Um, none of which played, I don't think, any snaps.
17:06
SPEAKER_04: Uh, potentially Jaden York.
17:08
SPEAKER_04: Jaden York is there, he's a seventh-year guy, uh, played tight end here at tech for a few years.
17:14
SPEAKER_04: With an S.
17:16
SPEAKER_04: With an S.
17:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
17:18
SPEAKER_04: The big the big seven.
17:20
SPEAKER_04: The big S.
17:23
SPEAKER_04: He apparently was at tech for four years, special teams, in here there for a couple offensive possessions, tight end, uh, played at Houston for a couple of years, and now is at ACU for his what I assume to be final year of eligibility.
17:38
SPEAKER_06: That is the Texas Tech Pipeline Circuit.
17:41
SPEAKER_04: It really is.
17:42
SPEAKER_04: Right there, dude.
17:44
SPEAKER_04: Tech Houston to ACU to finish off your career.
17:48
SPEAKER_04: But um, you know, he's he's an important piece of their offense.
17:51
SPEAKER_04: Um Caden Carr is another guy who was an offensive lineman.
17:55
SPEAKER_04: I think he's from Lubbock, um, just couldn't quite make the make the fold, and he's starting for them, so good for him.
18:01
SPEAKER_04: Um, over at ACU.
18:02
SPEAKER_04: Javian Wilcox is another guy that I think was hurt a lot of the year um when he played for tech, but uh he's out there, he's a starter for them.
18:11
SPEAKER_04: And then uh Isaiah Crawford, the post-product.
18:14
SPEAKER_04: We were actually pretty hyped up to get him in the uh recruiting cycle that year.
18:17
SPEAKER_04: He's a four-star, um, but didn't didn't even play in the uh Lamar game.
18:23
SPEAKER_04: I'm not sure if he's hurt or if he's just not great.
18:26
SPEAKER_04: Um Deontay Lindsay and Tanner Allen, just another couple special teams guys that couldn't quite make it, but um definitely getting their shot at ACU, so they have some familiarity with the Red Raider crowd.
18:38
SPEAKER_06: Um I I'm wondering where the saltiness levels are because the last time we played Avalon Christian, that was a salty ass Wildcat team, dude.
18:46
SPEAKER_04: Correct.
18:47
SPEAKER_06: They they came in wheeling and dealing some business at Texas Tech.
18:52
SPEAKER_06: They they marched in there and showed the Red Raiders what they're missing.
18:57
SPEAKER_06: So I I I I wonder if there's a level of that familiar saltiness coming in again.
19:05
SPEAKER_04: Well, the good news is they don't have Maverick MacIver.
19:09
SPEAKER_04: Who exists, who does exist, is is in fact a player.
19:13
SPEAKER_04: We will always recognize that he exists after that stupid game where they almost beat us.
19:17
SPEAKER_04: Um and he's not there anymore, and their quarterbacks are not very good.
19:22
SPEAKER_04: Now, I will say John David Black looked a lot better than Tucker Parks did.
19:27
SPEAKER_04: I imagine he's gonna be the guy that they throw out first against Texas Tech.
19:31
SPEAKER_04: But um, yeah, he's I mean, pretty good on the run.
19:34
SPEAKER_04: Uh, you know, pretty good downfield.
19:36
SPEAKER_04: Tucker Parks was getting nothing going.
19:38
SPEAKER_04: I mean, that dude was he he threw some bad balls.
19:41
SPEAKER_04: Um, so I imagine they'll go John David Black, uh, but they may switch up the quarterback play.
19:48
SPEAKER_04: But it's it's it's a tough, tough sight.
19:51
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's it.
19:52
SPEAKER_06: That's that's it's gonna be a tough scene, dude.
19:54
SPEAKER_06: And honest, obviously, this can probably go without question.
19:59
SPEAKER_06: The defense that Abilene Christian is about to have to look at is a little different than the one from a few years ago.
20:09
SPEAKER_06: I mean, we could be potentially feeling the second best defense TechSech has ever had.
20:15
SPEAKER_06: So, and obviously these guys could play on any roster in America.
20:19
SPEAKER_06: So it's it's a different ball game.
20:23
SPEAKER_06: Not saying the team that they you know went up against against tech uh a few years ago wasn't good.
20:27
SPEAKER_06: I mean, we were we're we were alright, but it was it's not this team, it's not this defense, dude.
20:33
SPEAKER_06: And uh we're hoping to take the step forward with offense, where I we we were able to go in a shootout with Abilene Christian, but those are not exactly a sentence you want to say the last time you do.
20:44
SPEAKER_06: So, buddy, uh I appreciate that we're lending the love to our friends at that school out there in the fellow West Texas town of Abilene.
20:57
SPEAKER_06: But buddy, this is gonna be a splattering.
20:59
SPEAKER_06: This is gonna be ugly.
21:01
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think it is, um, especially after watching them for because uh, you know, you never know what these FCS schools are gonna be.
21:10
SPEAKER_04: And ACU had a good year last year, you know, like they've been pretty decent for FCS.
21:14
SPEAKER_04: And uh, you know, love Joel Filani, love Joseph Plunk, love Graham Harrell, all-time red raiders.
21:22
SPEAKER_04: Of course.
21:23
SPEAKER_04: Um, this is this isn't gonna be good.
21:26
SPEAKER_06: No, it's not, it's not gonna be fun.
21:28
SPEAKER_06: Um, of course, you know, whenever you say a name like Graham Harrell, you do worry that the old alumnus has something to prove against the crowd of his alma mater, um, to show that he's still got it.
21:42
SPEAKER_06: But I mean, the guy's just only fallen in the coaching drinks.
21:46
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the one thing I would say to you is have we seen what Graham Harrell has done as an offensive coordinator?
21:53
SPEAKER_04: And again, love the guy.
21:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we will always love him at Texas Tech.
21:58
SPEAKER_04: He's always welcome back, no matter what.
22:00
SPEAKER_04: But he's not he's not a great OC.
22:02
SPEAKER_04: He's not.
22:03
SPEAKER_06: No.
22:03
SPEAKER_06: I mean, he's he's still he's obviously still good enough to remain in the game.
22:06
SPEAKER_06: Um who knows how much longer.
22:08
SPEAKER_06: And who knows if this is a pit stop as a reversal in his career.
22:11
SPEAKER_06: Of course it could be.
22:12
SPEAKER_06: Um you're still a D1 offensive coordinator.
22:15
SPEAKER_06: That's obviously nothing to snuff at.
22:17
SPEAKER_06: Um and you do, like I said, you do wonder if he's got a special book ready to just whip out uh to show the old crowd what it's all about.
22:25
SPEAKER_06: But I I again I I think that I think he could call he can scheme the perfect game, and it's not gonna matter.
22:33
SPEAKER_06: So it's just you you there's you can only out scheme to a point.
22:38
SPEAKER_06: And with this talent differential, it's it's a game you lose.
22:43
SPEAKER_06: Uh maybe I'm absolutely my words, but you're losing this game, what 49 times out of 50?
22:50
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, uh probably 99 out of 100.
22:53
SPEAKER_04: It's it's just not you, it's it's different.
22:55
SPEAKER_04: This is where you see the different levels of college football.
22:58
SPEAKER_04: And it's just by looking at how big Texas Tech is compared to um Abilene Christian.
23:04
SPEAKER_04: And I again, uh you know, what are we doing here?
23:07
SPEAKER_04: This is Avilene Christian.
23:08
SPEAKER_04: We understand they're they're under-recruited guys, uh, smaller dudes, usually, and and it's a young team on top of all of this.
23:14
SPEAKER_04: So, I mean, they had a they had a pretty shifty little running back, Alex Broom, number 20, uh, who had a pretty good game against uh against Lamar.
23:22
SPEAKER_04: I think they have a nice receiver, uh, this true freshman that's probably not gonna be at ACU next year.
23:27
SPEAKER_04: Uh Boykin, pretty good, had a good showing against uh Lamar.
23:31
SPEAKER_04: But is that Trayvon Boykin?
23:33
SPEAKER_04: Not Trayvon Boykin.
23:35
SPEAKER_04: Not the infamous Texas Christian legend, Trayvon Boykin.
23:41
SPEAKER_04: Um their offensive line had a tough time with Lamar.
23:45
SPEAKER_04: They're gonna have a real tough time with Adam Trick and AJ Holmes and those guys.
23:53
SPEAKER_06: Um it's you know it's funny.
23:55
SPEAKER_06: I mean, obviously, this is this game won't be close, but this is this team that we're playing as as our FCS opponent is still exponentially better than the one we played last year.
24:05
SPEAKER_06: Like Alan Christian is like ten times more competent than Arkansas Pine Bluff.
24:11
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Pine Bluff, Pine Bluff might be a high school team.
24:15
SPEAKER_04: That yeah, they're up there.
24:16
SPEAKER_04: I mean, you know, you make the joke, uh huh, they're playing a high school team.
24:19
SPEAKER_04: They're they're right there.
24:20
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they're they not.
24:22
SPEAKER_05: You might be competitive with a high school team.
24:24
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, maybe don't schedule Pine Bluff again.
24:26
SPEAKER_04: Um you know, play your local Texas teams.
24:30
SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
24:30
SPEAKER_06: If you're gonna play an FCS team, at least make it local.
24:32
SPEAKER_06: You know.
24:34
SPEAKER_06: And I I I kind of I'm glad you brought that up.
24:37
SPEAKER_06: I do wonder if we are ever going to shift to just playing a couple of G6 teams instead of an FCS team, like in the attack conference, you know.
24:48
SPEAKER_04: Uh well, everything is pushing towards you playing a cake non-conference schedule, and so we're going to continue doing that.
24:54
SPEAKER_04: And also, and also we can't get anybody to come and play us.
24:57
SPEAKER_06: So I was about to say I don't think Texas Tech's at that point.
25:00
SPEAKER_06: I I think we would 1010% keep that open invite for big teams to come to Lubbock, Texas.
25:06
SPEAKER_04: You still want those two, you still want those two cupcakes, though.
25:09
SPEAKER_04: You want that third one to be, you want that P4 opponent to be good.
25:13
SPEAKER_04: You want that that solid, not especially for Big 12 Texas Tech perception, everything.
25:19
SPEAKER_04: It only does good to beat those types of teams in the non-con, but you still need those two cupcakes that you need dubs on the board.
25:27
SPEAKER_06: People keep talking about strength of schedule whenever it comes to like those games, but it's not even just that, dude.
25:31
SPEAKER_06: Give your home crowd something to get amped up about in the offseason.
25:34
SPEAKER_06: Give them a fun game.
25:36
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, get and test your players.
25:37
SPEAKER_06: You know, you won't get better unless you do it.
25:39
SPEAKER_06: And if you're gonna lose the game, that's the best one to lose.
25:41
SPEAKER_04: So it's yeah, that's not the that's not the mindset these days with uh with college football teams.
25:47
SPEAKER_04: They just want to get that dub and and hopefully, you know, it doesn't really matter on strength of schedule, which we're not gonna talk about.
25:53
SPEAKER_06: I'm not too hard of the Crusader about dropping all FCS teams because ultimately solid FCS teams are absolutely uh comparable to bad G6 teams.
26:03
SPEAKER_06: So it's like I I don't know if there's a huge gap between uh Tarleton State and Samuson State, to be honest.
26:13
SPEAKER_06: So, or UTEP.
26:14
SPEAKER_06: So like it's it's I really don't I I bet Tarleton State could actually be UTEP.
26:19
SPEAKER_06: So it's it ultimately it's really kind of a potato potato situation, and I think at the end of the day.
26:25
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, Arkansas Pine Bluff.
26:28
SPEAKER_04: Well, the bluffs, you always gotta watch out for the bluffs.
26:32
SPEAKER_04: The bluffs with that outrageous logo.
26:35
SPEAKER_04: Um we did get some news on the Texas Tech front.
26:39
SPEAKER_04: Trey White, who is set to start at your edge position, is going to be out for uh he's week to week, is what the team has said, which is worse than day to day.
26:52
SPEAKER_04: If he's day-to-day, I'm thinking, okay, maybe he's gonna miss a game.
26:56
SPEAKER_04: If he's week to week, I'm thinking, okay, he might miss like two, three games.
27:00
SPEAKER_04: So obviously not great.
27:02
SPEAKER_04: He's he's one of the guys that you brought out of the transfer portal to uh be your number one edge guy, him and trick.
27:08
SPEAKER_04: So um not great.
27:10
SPEAKER_04: Uh, but I apparently could have been much worse.
27:13
SPEAKER_04: It is a knee injury, but um not something that is super severe.
27:18
SPEAKER_04: So um, yeah, it makes me think he's not gonna play the first two games and then he's gonna play against Houston.
27:24
SPEAKER_04: That's just my gut feel.
27:25
SPEAKER_06: You play against Sunshine Pumpkin.
27:27
SPEAKER_04: No, I don't think so.
27:28
SPEAKER_04: I think they're I think that they're happy with the extent of the injury.
27:34
SPEAKER_04: Like they thought it could have been way worse, but I think they're a little relieved at that fact.
27:39
SPEAKER_04: But when you put week to week, you're thinking like, okay, he's for sure gonna miss one game.
27:44
SPEAKER_04: He's he's probably gonna miss two or three games, but every team does it differently, and who knows what the rehab.
27:50
SPEAKER_04: But um, I I wouldn't I definitely wouldn't expect him to be out there for ACU uh and potentially longer.
27:56
SPEAKER_06: Thankfully it won't matter for this game, absolutely, and probably not really for Oregon State.
28:01
SPEAKER_06: Um, but you know, once once we start looking at the Cougars coming in from H Town, that's whenever you start really wanting to be fledged.
28:10
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, absolutely.
28:10
SPEAKER_06: Um like every single talking head is pinning that is probably make perhaps the most important game in the entire Big 12.
28:17
SPEAKER_06: So like you really you really want to be gassed up for that one on all fronts.
28:21
SPEAKER_06: So let's let's hope for a speedy recovery.
28:23
SPEAKER_06: Um, but again, I I don't think it's gonna matter, of course.
28:27
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, it's not gonna matter for ACU.
28:29
SPEAKER_04: And um I think you're gonna get a lot of guyton anyway.
28:32
SPEAKER_04: I think people are excited about seeing Ledamian Guyton, the true freshman, who was listed as the uh the number two to back up Trey White, but I it's kind of awesome.
28:41
SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna lie.
28:42
SPEAKER_04: It's great.
28:42
SPEAKER_04: It's awesome guy out there, and Felix Ojo, too, backing up Howard Sampson in the two deep.
28:47
SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, with both of those positions though, it's like you can list him as a backup, but that's not necessarily he's the next guy who's coming in.
28:54
SPEAKER_04: They kind of play as a as a unit.
28:56
SPEAKER_04: So uh, and Sheel Wood was asked about that, and he said, No, we're probably not gonna start guiding.
29:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh, we'll probably have uh Jamon Mathis or Ansel Nadore uh start on the other side and have and move Trick over to Trey White's position.
29:09
SPEAKER_04: So um you're still gonna see a lot of him in the ACU game, but I don't think you're gonna get him coming in.
29:15
SPEAKER_04: You know, he came into camp three weeks ago or a month ago.
29:18
SPEAKER_04: You know, he's not he's a true freshman.
29:19
SPEAKER_04: Uh he could be super talented.
29:21
SPEAKER_04: I'm sure he's gonna play a lot of snaps this year, but maybe not just yet.
29:25
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, absolutely.
29:26
SPEAKER_06: Otherwise, you know, I'm sure you've seen it.
29:28
SPEAKER_06: You've I'm sure you've seen the released uh programs, the depth chart.
29:32
SPEAKER_06: Um, any surprises to you there?
29:34
SPEAKER_04: No, not really.
29:35
SPEAKER_04: Uh, I think it was good to see Peyton Morgan get the nod at the uh at the safety position right there with BJ Jordan, so that'll be cool to watch.
29:43
SPEAKER_04: Um interesting.
29:44
SPEAKER_04: I hope he's you know that that's your younger position right there.
29:48
SPEAKER_04: Um, you're starting a sophomore at that spot, and that's a obviously a very important position.
29:54
SPEAKER_04: Um, Zambrano, it looks like he won the uh the battle with Deanthus Upshaw there at the uh the right guard position or the left guard position.
30:02
SPEAKER_04: So um, I mean they'll be switching those guys out pretty consistently, but um no, no other real surprises.
30:08
SPEAKER_04: It was it was kind of weird to see Castellanus on there.
30:12
SPEAKER_04: Um just it's just a weird situation, I think, overall.
30:15
SPEAKER_04: Um pretty I'm pretty I'm pretty happy about it.
30:18
SPEAKER_04: You know, I think it's he didn't technically sign a pro contract.
30:22
SPEAKER_04: It's just on that weird gray area line, and it's like yeah, you know, I guess bring him in.
30:26
SPEAKER_04: You know, you needed more depth because I am I'm not a I'm not a Kirk Menistan believer over here.
30:32
SPEAKER_04: Um I'm not a not a Kirk Francis believer over here as your backup, and and with Will Hammond's situation, you you just have to have some sort of insurance.
30:42
SPEAKER_06: For sure.
30:42
SPEAKER_06: I mean he is listed as a four, which is really not a surprise being brand new to the program, right?
30:47
SPEAKER_06: He probably is just now looking at Leftwich's playbook.
30:50
SPEAKER_06: So I mean, you it's that's really no surprise there.
30:52
SPEAKER_06: He's a short king.
30:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, he's he's a good, he's a good speedy athlete.
30:57
SPEAKER_04: I mean, he's a he's a decent player.
30:59
SPEAKER_04: Um definitely, you know, not led by the the best of programs in a Mike Norvell-led Florida State, Boston College, UCS.
31:10
SPEAKER_04: You know, not not great organizations.
31:12
SPEAKER_04: I'm not and and Castellanos was okay at at Florida State.
31:16
SPEAKER_04: Like, I'm not trying to like beat Alabama.
31:18
SPEAKER_04: He did beat Alabama.
31:19
SPEAKER_04: Um, but I'm not gonna be the guy that now he's on my team, I'm gonna think he's like the greatest.
31:24
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, I it was it was clearly an insurance piece, and I hope he came in understanding that.
31:28
SPEAKER_06: Um, I do how much do you buy into the uh like fun novelty packages that you might be mixed up in?
31:35
SPEAKER_04: I don't like those in general.
31:37
SPEAKER_04: Um the one time it was okay was when we did it with Donovan Smith, but outside of that, I'm just like play your play your quarterbacks, just play your quarterback.
31:47
SPEAKER_04: You don't need to get all tricky.
31:48
SPEAKER_04: Like this team is talented enough to where you don't need to pull that stuff out.
31:52
SPEAKER_04: But I mean, yeah, I would be surprised outside of these outside of the same Houston State, Abilene, you know, potentially an Oregon state, that that we see him a ton unless there's injury, bad luck.
32:05
SPEAKER_06: Right.
32:06
SPEAKER_06: So, Steven, say but bet put your bets on it now.
32:09
SPEAKER_06: Whenever uh the hippo of uh of uh Huddo Will Hammond is yoinked after demolishing our poor friends in Abilene, who's going in?
32:20
SPEAKER_04: Francis.
32:22
SPEAKER_06: Francis?
32:22
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
32:23
unknown: Okay.
32:23
SPEAKER_04: I think I think you go with the guys that have been here for a while before you put in Castellanos.
32:29
SPEAKER_04: I don't I can I think you can see all four quarterbacks.
32:31
SPEAKER_04: I really think that'd be hilarious.
32:32
SPEAKER_04: I think it will out by the half.
32:35
SPEAKER_04: As soon as Hammond goes out, which I hope is like midway through the second quarter, I think you get a drive for Francis, a drive for Lloyd Jones, and then a drive for Castellanos.
32:45
SPEAKER_06: I would want nothing less.
32:46
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
32:46
SPEAKER_06: If you see like every single dude on this chart on the field, that'd be so sick.
32:51
SPEAKER_06: That's the best part about these games.
32:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and you play them and and hopefully you're you're out here killing them, and you can kind of get Will Hammond the uh just the time that he needs to get back on the field, get back used to playing again for the first time since the ACL injury, and you know, put some points on the board, and then you know, get him out of there and get ready to go to Corvallis.
33:10
SPEAKER_06: So what do you think of uh the chosen one finally getting listed as uh wide receiver one of Michael Hudson?
33:18
SPEAKER_04: Micah?
33:19
SPEAKER_04: I'm I'm excited.
33:20
SPEAKER_04: This is the season that I'm genuinely just excited about Micah Hudson.
33:25
SPEAKER_04: I I I hated the stuff that he got freshman year.
33:29
SPEAKER_04: I hated how much this fan base uh you know really just like expected the world from him, and Joey did him no favors in that regard.
33:36
SPEAKER_04: And I think he can tell you that he regrets that um on how much pressure he maybe put on him.
33:42
SPEAKER_04: And I don't think Micah was ready.
33:43
SPEAKER_04: I don't think he has an oh, surprise, surprise, the 18-year-old kid is not ready to play this level of football yet.
33:49
SPEAKER_04: Like, so I think what he has done since then, and really to come back to the program, to accept the walk-on role, to you know, just be content with not getting the starting gig last year after coming off being a five-star freshman and just grinding and putting your head down and working.
34:07
SPEAKER_04: And I think he deserves the start this year.
34:10
SPEAKER_04: And the talent's there, man.
34:11
SPEAKER_04: I mean, we've even seen it at tech.
34:13
SPEAKER_04: It hasn't been a lot of plays, but some of the catches that he made last year were pretty miraculous.
34:19
SPEAKER_06: Steven, let me use finger paint to make a picture here.
34:22
SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
34:23
SPEAKER_04: Thank you for specifying.
34:25
SPEAKER_06: So let's let's give a little grace to everybody involved in that situation.
34:30
SPEAKER_06: Um, because that is the first high profile mega battle Texas Tech wins for a five-star athlete in program history.
34:41
SPEAKER_06: I think things were bound to be weird, you know, in the from the fans point of view, from the coaching point of view, especially a first-time college coach and the uh player point of view.
34:53
SPEAKER_06: Like I think things were bound to get a little overcooked in a few ways.
34:59
SPEAKER_06: So I really think we've all learned our lesson because now we're literally at the top of recruiting battles day in and out for higher level, higher ranked players than than young Hudson.
35:10
SPEAKER_06: So I I I just I just think it's kind of a chapter where everyone learned a thing or two.
35:16
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
35:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
35:18
SPEAKER_04: Joey, I think, showed his youth as a program leader and head coach at that time.
35:23
SPEAKER_04: Since the young man, not that not that just a college level with the media and with how stuff can get aggregated and everything of that nature that can potentially damage certain areas of the locker room.
35:34
SPEAKER_04: I think it's it's a learning curve going from you know a high school coach to a college level, especially when you throw in NIL and all the all the surrounding egos that go into it.
35:44
SPEAKER_04: So um, yeah, no, I'm excited for Micah Hudson.
35:47
SPEAKER_04: I think there's a lot of wide receivers that have a lot of potential.
35:50
SPEAKER_04: Like I think Jalen Jones is a guy that I'm gonna watch really closely um as being a real dude for you, the uh transfer from Alabama State.
35:58
SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, I saw that Bryson Jones was listed and at the two behind uh, I think it was either behind Hudson or behind um Kenny Johnson.
36:07
SPEAKER_04: And uh I was expecting Malcolm Simmons to maybe get that for the transfer from Auburn, but it looks like Bryson Jones, who's going into his true sophomore season, is uh is getting some run here.
36:17
SPEAKER_04: And Joey and and uh Coach Juice have been hyping him up along with Leighton Stone as well.
36:22
SPEAKER_04: So um like we mentioned in the offensive preview, like I think we have a lot of depth at this position.
36:28
SPEAKER_04: I'm just not sure if you have like the top-end talent necessarily at the wide receiver spot, but Micah Hudson could very well be that guy.
36:36
SPEAKER_06: Let's say you might.
36:37
SPEAKER_06: You might with Micah, right?
36:39
SPEAKER_06: You might exactly absolutely have the older reliables with the with boys like Coy.
36:42
SPEAKER_04: So for sure, for sure.
36:44
SPEAKER_04: You have a solid group, and then you have TC, of course, who's who's gonna be a big pass catcher for you.
36:50
SPEAKER_06: I really, I really feel like Will is gonna lean on TC a lot, especially at least especially in the beginning of the season before he starts you know building up his stones to start throwing it downfield.
37:00
SPEAKER_06: So I think I think uh I think we're gonna see a lot of TC in the mix.
37:04
SPEAKER_04: This is just where you need to use your team.
37:07
SPEAKER_04: No, no, know your personnel because Will Hammond, as much as I I love that mentality of I'm just gonna run into you and I'm just gonna, you know, this kind of balls of steel stuff.
37:17
SPEAKER_04: You just have to recognize that, dude, dump it off to Jacoby Williams, dump it off to TC.
37:22
SPEAKER_04: These guys are ultra-talented players, like use them and get them in in the right spaces.
37:28
SPEAKER_04: That's your job as the quarterback is to get your team in the best position and not necessarily do it all yourself.
37:33
SPEAKER_04: I think Barron, through a lot of his career, had that kind of mentality of I need to do this myself, I need to make the play, I need to do the spectacular thing.
37:42
SPEAKER_04: And Will has a little bit of that too.
37:44
SPEAKER_04: And I'm just hoping, you know, when it comes down to it, you know, use your guys.
37:49
SPEAKER_04: These guys are you're you're too talented across the board.
37:52
SPEAKER_06: I think I think you can recognize with Barron Morton why he was brought up like that.
37:56
SPEAKER_06: I mean, he witnessed two completely different eras of Texas Tech football as its quarterback.
38:02
SPEAKER_06: So you can kind of understand the need to overcompensate with his ability.
38:06
SPEAKER_06: Um, and I totally get what you're saying with Will Hammond about you know plowing into dudes.
38:11
SPEAKER_06: But personally, I do think that having that edge is invaluable.
38:17
SPEAKER_06: Like having a quarterback that's truly not afraid to do what it takes to win, that is something that can't be taught.
38:24
SPEAKER_06: Like you're you either have that or you don't.
38:26
SPEAKER_06: So like it his his his boldness, his bravery to plow into a defensive line to get that first down or get it in the end zone, I think that's gonna pay off once or twice in the season where it really matters.
38:38
SPEAKER_04: I think so too.
38:39
SPEAKER_04: It's it's you you have to pick your spots.
38:41
SPEAKER_04: Obviously, if you're fourth and three and you need those three, you know, you do what it takes.
38:46
SPEAKER_04: But when you're second and eleven, you know, and you can get either a five-yard gain or you can try to roll out of the pocket and make a bigger play, just dump it off.
38:55
SPEAKER_04: Get the five yards.
38:56
SPEAKER_04: That that's a guarantee.
38:57
SPEAKER_04: And that that's where Will Hammond is gonna have to grow as a quarterback.
39:00
SPEAKER_04: Um, but yeah, he's got it, he's got the talent.
39:03
SPEAKER_04: We've seen him throw the ball, we've seen the Utah stuff, we've seen him come back against Arizona State and almost win that one in Tempe.
39:10
SPEAKER_04: Like we've seen good versions of Will Hammond.
39:13
SPEAKER_04: It's just about consistency and about making the right play.
39:17
SPEAKER_06: Absolutely, dude.
39:18
SPEAKER_06: Anything else to say on this game, you think?
39:20
SPEAKER_04: No, I mean it's gonna be fun to watch tech football again, dude.
39:23
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, get back out there.
39:25
SPEAKER_04: I'm always excited, even if we play a no-name team or or or a lower level team or whatever.
39:31
SPEAKER_04: It's it's always excited to see them bust out the uh the red and black and uh run out of the tunnel and all the good stuff.
39:38
SPEAKER_04: So I'll be I'll be tuning in from the airplane.
39:41
SPEAKER_06: On Fox Sports 1.

43:47
SPEAKER_04: Colorado, I think we are expecting to be bad this year, but I don't know.
43:51
SPEAKER_04: If they pull that one out, that's a big dub for the Big Twelve.
43:54
SPEAKER_06: It is, it is.
43:55
SPEAKER_06: It it obviously goes without saying I hope the Big Twelve wins all these games.
44:00

44:41
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I mean, I just buy it, Tuddy.
44:43
SPEAKER_04: I yeah, I don't have a good I don't have a good uh feeling about Colorado at all this year, as if you listen to the to the schedule preview and everything for the Big 12.
44:52
SPEAKER_06: But I think they'll play spoiler to a few teams.
44:54
SPEAKER_06: I don't think they're gonna be last.
44:55
SPEAKER_06: A lot of people are picking them last.
44:56
SPEAKER_06: I don't think that's gonna happen.
44:57
SPEAKER_04: But no, I think Iowa State will be last.
44:59
SPEAKER_06: But I think I think they're gonna get some people in Boulder.
45:03

SPEAKER_04: It would be great.
46:27
SPEAKER_04: Steven.
46:29

46:41
SPEAKER_05: Like, I want Lance Lipold to have just an awful year.
46:47
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it would be funny.
46:49
SPEAKER_05: It would be very funny.
46:50
SPEAKER_04: It'd be it they're one of those schools that it's like you've been such a piece of crap through these last couple years to us.
46:59
SPEAKER_04: And if listen, I'm I'm not cheering on the downfall of the Kansas Jayhawks, but I'm also not sad about it.
47:05
SPEAKER_06: If it happens, it it look, you got one over us with Matt Wells.
47:09
SPEAKER_06: It's not about that.
47:11
SPEAKER_06: We've forgiven you for that.
47:12
SPEAKER_06: It's a little bit about getting that guy fired.
47:14
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
47:16
SPEAKER_06: But like, yeah, I with all the bull crap they've done with the Big 12 office.
47:21
SPEAKER_06: Like, I'm so I'm so done.

SPEAKER_04: I got this one.
47:31
SPEAKER_04: Um Saturday, September 5th.
47:35
SPEAKER_04: The Beavers of Oregon State play an opponent of yours in the first three weeks.
47:40
SPEAKER_04: These are both opponents of yours in the first three weeks.
47:43
SPEAKER_04: You're actually gonna get you're gonna get some film from both sides of this, actually.
47:48
SPEAKER_04: Um, tight game last year in Corvallis, uh, even though Houston was clearly a much better team than Oregon State, but they played them tight.
47:55
SPEAKER_04: This one is in Houston, and uh Oregon State's gonna get smacked.
47:59
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, this is gonna be ugly, dude.
48:00
SPEAKER_06: Uh I think this is what for the Oregon State has a new coach, I believe.
48:04
SPEAKER_04: They have a new coach, they have a new quarterback.
48:06
SPEAKER_04: Um they went with the younger quarterback.
48:10
SPEAKER_04: They had Malik Murphy, who started for him last year, but did not win the starting job.
48:14
SPEAKER_04: Um, total falls.
48:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, he was at Texas.
48:20
SPEAKER_04: He was like he was like backing up Ewers, I think, one of those years.
48:24
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
48:24
SPEAKER_04: Different era.
48:24
SPEAKER_06: By God.
48:25

SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
48:26
SPEAKER_04: Uh Houston's gonna win this one.
48:28
SPEAKER_06: Agreed.
48:30
SPEAKER_04: Surprisingly, only a 20 and a half.
48:32
SPEAKER_04: I feel like that's low.
48:34
SPEAKER_06: That sounds about right.
48:35
SPEAKER_06: Like, I think Houston's defense is gonna be legit, but I don't know if their offense is gonna be fireworks.
48:40
SPEAKER_06: I don't think I don't know if it's gonna have to be.
48:42
SPEAKER_04: You're not a Wegman guy?
48:44
SPEAKER_06: I mean, I think Wegman's a competent quarterback, but I don't know if he's a golden arm.
48:50
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
48:51
SPEAKER_04: I gotcha.
48:52
SPEAKER_04: Coastal Carolina traveling to Morgantown, West Virginia.
48:56
SPEAKER_06: Possibly a sneaky good game.
48:58
SPEAKER_04: Sneaky?
48:59
SPEAKER_04: I don't know how good Coastal is.
49:00
SPEAKER_04: They weren't very good last year, were they?
49:03
SPEAKER_06: No, I I don't I don't think so.
49:04
SPEAKER_06: I'd have to look into it, but they're usually one of the better Sunbelt outs.
49:09
SPEAKER_04: Coastal Carolina in 2025 went six and seven.
49:14
SPEAKER_06: Okay, that's not great.
49:15
SPEAKER_04: Um, I think the chanticleers had a uh had a tough one.
49:20
SPEAKER_04: Chanticleers?
49:21
SPEAKER_04: Chantacleers?
49:22
SPEAKER_06: Chanticleers?
49:23

51:35
SPEAKER_04: Exciting.
51:36
SPEAKER_06: I'm I mean, if he goes to Auburn and wins this game, they could be what TCU was supposed to be.

52:20
SPEAKER_04: Or maybe it's a three, maybe it's a three-game series.
52:23

52:26
SPEAKER_06: Like, I I if if I don't know.

52:33
SPEAKER_04: I think Auburn will win.
52:34
SPEAKER_06: Um, but this would be a great, but I don't think Baylor's gonna win it.

SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
52:48
SPEAKER_06: I don't know if we play we're not gonna play a random Baylor team.
52:52

SPEAKER_04: He's gonna be there.
53:11
SPEAKER_04: And uh that would start with a win against Auburn in week one.
53:15
SPEAKER_06: But yeah, but if they do like if he wins this game, I think everybody immediately thinks Baylor is different and they can put together a decent season.
53:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
53:23
SPEAKER_06: So, but I I just I mean, like you said, Auburn hired a good coach.
53:27
SPEAKER_06: Auburn Auburn probably has enough talent in the tank to win a home game against a completely deflated Baylor team.
53:34
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
53:35
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, for sure.
53:36

59:05
SPEAKER_06: And state matchup.
59:06
SPEAKER_06: Utah Tech, formerly Dixie State.

59:16
SPEAKER_06: Oh, you're right.
59:17
SPEAKER_06: Good, good reference there, dude.
59:19
SPEAKER_06: You know, but I feel like there's gotta be absolutely zero relation to the Confederate States of America, to Dixie State in Utah.
59:28
SPEAKER_06: Like that's I I'm not sure where the connection is.
59:30
SPEAKER_06: It's probably just the name of the U.S.
59:31
SPEAKER_04: I don't know the lore.
59:33
SPEAKER_06: Utah Tech's better.
59:34
SPEAKER_06: Don't get me wrong.
59:35
SPEAKER_04: Listen, you put tech behind anything, it's better.
59:37

59:41

SPEAKER_04: 51 and a half point dogs, the Utah Tech mascot revoked.
59:56
SPEAKER_04: Trailblazers.
59:57
SPEAKER_06: I've but what if what if the BYU AD is leaking information to Utah Tech to undermine Mr.
1:00:07
SPEAKER_06: Sataki?
1:00:08
SPEAKER_04: Well, apparently he offered Jay Hill the job.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_04: And that's why old him and that's what came out today.
1:00:14
SPEAKER_04: I actually just read it right before we hopped on the pod.
1:00:16
SPEAKER_04: Whoops.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_04: Uh the BYU AD apparently tried to hire Jay Hill, who just left BYU for Michigan to be their DC, apparently offered him the head coaching job.
1:00:32
SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
1:00:33
SPEAKER_04: And the boosters wanted Sataki back.
1:00:38
SPEAKER_06: Really?

1:00:41
SPEAKER_06: Who would wow?
1:00:42
SPEAKER_06: That's weird.
1:00:43
SPEAKER_04: Well, I think the AD was more than comfortable with Sataki leaving for I kind of get it.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_06: I kinda get it.
1:00:51
SPEAKER_06: Like you're gonna get you're gonna get some buyout money, and you can get a, you know, if your relationship with them is rocky.
1:00:57
SPEAKER_06: But then again, dude, like that's a battle you're gonna lose every single time.
1:01:01
SPEAKER_06: Like you're a successful bull, and he he keeps beating Utah.
1:01:04
SPEAKER_06: Like you're never getting rid of that guy.

SPEAKER_06: You kidding me?
1:01:07

1:01:09
SPEAKER_04: I think there's just some real there's some real tumultuous stuff going on in the uh in the admin over there at BYU, and it's uh it's pretty hard to ignore.
1:01:18
SPEAKER_06: So maybe my theory has legs.
1:01:21

1:03:05
SPEAKER_04: Like completely that's that's not the two that you want it to fall on.
1:03:09
SPEAKER_06: Of course.
1:03:09
SPEAKER_06: Oh, like are you saying like that?
1:03:11
SPEAKER_04: No, I'm saying if you're in the Big 12 or in the Cincinnati, and you're relying on Cincinnati and Baylor to win you games to make your conference look better, not a great look.
1:03:19
SPEAKER_06: And and it's it's against uh teams who will not do anything in their conferences this year.
1:03:26
SPEAKER_06: So it's if you want us to make look look like a second rate conference, this is how you do it.
1:03:32
SPEAKER_06: And it's gonna be losing to those teams, which personally, I think they're going to.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_06: Wow, my friend.
1:03:38
SPEAKER_04: Wow, I think they're going to.
1:03:39
SPEAKER_04: Doomer Tristan has joined the channel.

SPEAKER_06: I know, dude.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_06: I know.
1:03:43
SPEAKER_06: It's it's just unfortunately they the problem was it's two teams I'm not overly fond of.
1:03:50
SPEAKER_06: Baylor, obviously, but Cincinnati.
1:03:53
SPEAKER_06: It's like I have to talk about Altex texting the same conference as Cincinnati, Ohio.
1:03:57
SPEAKER_06: Like, that doesn't feel good coming out of my mouth.
1:04:00
SPEAKER_06: So, and especially with the uh situation of their charity driving coaches, uh quarterbacks, like it's it's uh it's it's it's a whole thing.
1:04:11
SPEAKER_06: It's a whole thing.
1:04:13
SPEAKER_04: It is a whole thing.
1:04:15
SPEAKER_06: It's a whole thing.
1:04:16
SPEAKER_04: Week two is better, infinitely better than week one as far as the Big 12 slate goes.
1:04:23
SPEAKER_04: Um Yeah, we got the Beeves.
1:04:28
SPEAKER_04: Well you of course you of course have the Beeves playing the Red Raiders.

1:04:49
SPEAKER_06: What happened to this game I love?
1:04:51
SPEAKER_04: Well, because BYU had to play Notre Dame in the middle of the season, so they had to play one earlier than expected.
1:04:57
SPEAKER_06: That is the single biggest non-conference game in this conference.
1:05:00
