2024 Spring Game Pregame Show

1
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Music.
Welcome.

2
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,640
To the Spring Game Pregame Show
presented by Suns of Saturday.

3
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,320
I'm your host BB.
Some of you guys might know me

4
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,920
from Twitter.
Some of you guys might know me

5
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960
from the 2D podcast.
But if you don't know me, you

6
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,560
might know some of my friends up
here.

7
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,200
I've got a great group of guys
to help me preview the spring

8
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,840
game, and we brought a bunch of
the independent media types

9
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360
together to do this.
And so directly to my right is

10
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,960
Pat Finn, one of the founders of
Sun Saturday.

11
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,960
Pat, thank.
You for being here.

12
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,240
Good morning.
What should I say?

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,560
Good afternoon, Hokey Nation.
Next to him we got Sam.

14
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Jesse, my partner on 2D.
Thanks for being here, but he

15
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,240
ran 3.2 this morning.
Give Sam a round of.

16
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,240
Applause.
He's a runner.

17
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,240
He's a track store.
Thank you.

18
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,640
And then next to him, we got
someone texting.

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,600
It's Dan from Tales of the
Terror Dome.

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,680
He's locked in and ready.
I'm ready.

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,120
I've been ready.
Born, ready.

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,440
Terror, Dan.
And then finally in the last

23
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
chair, we've got Brian from the
Boundary Corner podcast.

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,240
Brian.
What is up, everybody?

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,360
How are we feeling today?
Feeling good?

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
We're feeling good.
And you know what, Brian was the

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,480
first one I reached out to last
year.

28
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
I wanted to do this partnership
and quickly hopped in the boat.

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,800
We got Sons on board and the
whole thing is now in its second

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,360
year.
And so I'm pumped about this.

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,480
And just to kick things off,
Judy, we like to talk about what

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,840
we're drinking.
So Brian, what are you drinking

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,760
down there?
What's that looks?

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080
I've got a classic tuts rail
here, ladies and gentlemen.

35
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,480
It is delicious.
I will be feeling it a little

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,200
bit later, but that's OK.
What you got going on?

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Man, when you come to tots, man,
you gotta do a ice cold Miller

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200
latte.
It's like a it's like that

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880
McDonald's poker Sprite, man, it
just hit different here.

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,200
I don't know what it is.
What you got?

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Sierra Nevada.
He's a little thing IPA, one of

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280
the classics.
It's a good one to get started.

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Yes, I'm having the same thing
and I see this is familiar.

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320
It's a little PBR time.
It's game day in Blacksbury.

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440
You gotta have your PBR.
I got my USA Coach Price shirt

46
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,440
on.
It matches my PBR very nice.

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Only football stadium in
America.

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Hashtag has blue ribbon.
So if you are watching on

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,840
YouTube, go ahead and just click
the like on the video.

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,160
That would help us out
tremendously.

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,800
And if you want to comment,
please do.

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,760
I don't see any comments.
It's also really hard to see

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,120
with the son of my eyes.
But if we see some comments

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,360
coming, we will ask the
questions to the felt.

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,520
Let's start with just Spring
Jam.

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Spring Jam was last night.
It was a blast.

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Did you guys have fun?
Did Billy Ray have fun last

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,880
night?
I think you might have a little.

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Fun Billy Ray in the audience.
Can we get a?

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Can we get a wave in the
audience?

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,360
There he is.
He was.

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
He was on one.
But it was so good to see some

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,160
of the former players.
Tie Rod was out, Coach Foster,

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,680
JC Price.
The list goes on.

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Al Clark, I I asked for a
ticket.

66
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:34,920
I didn't recognize him at 1st
and I felt like a jerk.

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,880
There was so many so many cool
people out last night, so that

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,400
was a blast.
Thank you to the Suns for

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480
putting on Spring Jam.
If you ever down here in the

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
future, you didn't make it down.
You gotta come to Spring Jam

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,840
next year.
Because it's it's a, it's a must

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,120
go to event.
Maybe we should talk about some

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,280
of the players.
So let's do quarterback,

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600
everyone.
We saw Kevin Jones last night,

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Kyron's dad.
Kevin was a blast.

76
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,120
He was having.
Awesome dude.

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,840
Kevin was living his best life
last night.

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,760
That guy rocks.
Album shit.

79
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080
He has been on the Boundary
Corner podcast once or twice,

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440
just chatting it up with us.
Seems like he likes it here.

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,240
I think there was a little bit
of a rumor mill going around

82
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,640
that our quarterback might have
been getting offers elsewhere.

83
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Do we all feel comfortable in in
Kyron being here next year?

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640
There was never a more
collective side in Hockey Nation

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,960
than when Kyron asked for a
sectional on Twitter.

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,320
That was that was incredible,
that.

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,000
Low key perfect.
You don't.

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,880
You don't move a sectional.
Not to LSU.

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,040
He's moving in.
Hey man, I feel pretty

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,760
confident.
You know, last year we sat here

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,600
and I said Ollie Jennings ain't
come here to play with Grant

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Wells.
Well, I know for a fact all the

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,120
receivers came here to play with
Kyron Jones.

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800
So we good, man.
I feel, I feel great about it.

95
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:48,080
I think he's locked in.
And the hype train's getting

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,280
pretty out of control.
The hype train.

97
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,360
Is getting a little out of
control.

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,680
Did you see someone put that he
was the number one returning

99
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080
quarterback?
In the ACC over DJU.

100
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:00,760
That was kind of a quick bait
account maybe, but still it's

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,440
out.
It's out there.

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
I mean, technically he was the
only one that returned to the

103
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,680
ACC from the ACC, right?
So well as far as like Cam and

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,440
and DJ, right?
Alright, well, QB two then we're

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,520
gonna see hopefully a lot of
those two guys.

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,640
We got Wiki, we got Pop.
Do you guys think saw Pop last

107
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,200
year kind of go off a little bit
in the spring game.

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,840
Couple cool plays, everyone de
facto this is the next guy after

109
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960
you know maybe if it's Wells
doesn't work out maybe it's Pop

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,760
instead of drones.
Well drones proved to be the man

111
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,840
is Pop for sure #2 because we've
been hearing a lot about Wiki

112
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,440
doing well in practice.
And Dan, I'll ask you what do

113
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
you, what do you think?
Well, I think Price said it was

114
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520
going 5050.
It was kind of leaning wiki and

115
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,280
now it's kind of leaning pop.
But I feel like pops athleticism

116
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,840
and he is like speed and ability
to run the ball.

117
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,240
Probably gonna set him apart in
that race.

118
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,160
Yeah, what do you?
Think.

119
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,400
Sam, I mean, they're bringing in
Kelden Ryan, who's shooting up

120
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680
recruiting boards out of Texas,
Texas to BT.

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,880
And then they also have Dobby
Belford, who is a bit of a

122
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,160
social media guy with the, you
know, his dad, whole Brazil

123
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,560
football thing.
So I think it's interesting this

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,640
year.
It's gonna be interesting next

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,080
year, too, because you talked
about drones.

126
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,840
This is a NFL springboard year
for him, and if you look at the

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
upcoming NFLQD class, he has a
good year.

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,600
He's going as he should, so
you're going to have a

129
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,600
quarterback.
Vacancy next year.

130
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,840
That's true.
Pat, Are you you?

131
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,080
I mean, do you think it's pop?
I think it's pop.

132
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,880
So I've, I've heard that pop has
filled out a little bit as well.

133
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,600
I know last season was not very,
you look very skinny out there,

134
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,520
obviously being a being a young
guy.

135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640
But another year in the program,
another spring in the program to

136
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520
be good to see him out in pads
today.

137
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,520
So let's talk about the guys
that will be protecting our

138
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,560
quarterback this year, which is
was a bit of an issue beginning

139
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,280
last year.
We talked about it a lot on the

140
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,360
show when we're at Sharky's
doing the spring game pregame

141
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,640
show throughout the year though
that online continue to improve.

142
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,680
But the project starters for
this year haven't changed.

143
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,600
We're still seeing some of the
same names that had issues.

144
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,960
How are you feeling about right
guard and right tackle, Ryan?

145
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,800
Because those are the two spots
that are not not locked in.

146
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,440
I think they're they're still
guys battling.

147
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Yeah, not locked in.
It's gonna be interesting to see

148
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,160
how.
Montagus coming in comes.

149
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Along that's the one I'm most
interested in.

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,600
I would like to see maybe one
more guy coming through the

151
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,280
portal.
That would make me feel a little

152
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,760
bit more comfortable at the
situation.

153
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760
I'm obviously shaking Parker
head up, head up and down

154
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,520
moments, but yeah, we saw with
drones came in, you had a little

155
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
bit of tweaks to the scheme.
I think that help open up some

156
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,160
things with the office I was
doing kind of lean more to their

157
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,280
straights.
So we'll see if that's something

158
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,680
that we can build on this year.
But I'm hoping that Montagas

159
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,640
Cunningham or maybe even Brody
Meadows takes another step and

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,120
can kind of elite slide into one
of those spots on the right side

161
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400
of the line.
I have been optimistic on Brody,

162
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,040
especially since we saw him play
really well in the spring game

163
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240
last year and he was very young
though still.

164
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,280
And what do you think on break
guard?

165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,440
Because there's so many guys
battling and we started out

166
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,080
Cunningham at right guard rather
than tackle, which he played all

167
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,360
of his snaps last year, tackle.
Yeah.

168
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,720
I would just say like offensive
line, the last two spring games,

169
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,720
it's been just terrible.
It's been really.

170
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,240
But one of the teams?
Especially, yeah.

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,920
And so I think this year you're
gonna see like, that's gonna be

172
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,080
the biggest improvement that
you're gonna see is, oh, we have

173
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840
10-11 guys who can actually
block this year, and that's

174
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760
gonna make the whole that makes
practice better, that makes

175
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,280
spring game better, makes the
whole team better.

176
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,560
So I'm excited to see maybe not
as much just positionally, I'm

177
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600
excited to see the whole unit
kind of work together and just

178
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,679
perform better because last two
years it was rough, it was

179
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,039
rough.
It was rough, but crook being

180
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:40,120
here for a second year, we saw
the improvement.

181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,880
How, how big do you think that
is, Brian?

182
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Just from the having played the
position like 2 years under the

183
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880
same coach, will that make a
substantial difference?

184
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,240
I mean, cotton newly is always
important, I mean from a scheme

185
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,160
perspective, from an expectation
perspective.

186
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,560
So I think you're going to see
more progression from those guys

187
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,400
as as it goes along and I'm
interested to see what the young

188
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,040
guys are gonna bring to the
table as well.

189
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,400
We got guys like right now I'm
very interested to see what our

190
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240
second team.
Centers have a backup.

191
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Center I don't really know what
that's gonna look like.

192
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Something.
I'm interested to see what

193
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,360
that's gonna look.
Like, let's move to something a

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,960
little bit more fun, a little
bit more Talked about is been

195
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,600
our wide receivers, 'cause we
brought back all of them.

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,040
It was actually shocking when we
saw that announcement.

197
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,160
It wasn't one or two guys.
It wasn't just Alex Jennings.

198
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,120
It was all four of our main guys
will be back this year.

199
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,680
But there's also guys pushing
those guys from coming up from

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080
the whether it's from high
school or just on the roster.

201
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,720
Already an XTB type, Sky, Heath,
Keelan Adams has been doing

202
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
great in practice.
Which guy?

203
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Outside of Jennings, Felton,
Lane and Gosnell, what other

204
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,160
receiver will break out this
year?

205
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Aiden Green.
That's your guy.

206
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,640
That Aiden Green dude, he was a
Mont.

207
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,360
Like, he got a lot of cardio
last year.

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,480
There's a lot of reps when he
was running routes, but I think

209
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,880
like this year it might mean if
if it is looks the way in the

210
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,320
game is it looks in practice,
he's going to put up some, put

211
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,520
some things up.
Athletic greens get him the NIL

212
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:05,880
deal.
Now that's.

213
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,720
Not that.
Do you have a breakout?

214
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,720
Go outside at Eden Green.
Is there anyone else that you

215
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,560
think is going to be potentially
like feeding out of Steven

216
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:19,760
Gosnell for catches?
You you know Keelan, Brody

217
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Adams, I think he's going by
Brody, he's he's some roster

218
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,680
now.
Yes.

219
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:29,440
So Brody Adams, he's special.
He has BHSL records and wide

220
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,760
receiver.
I I'm really excited to see him

221
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,200
because again, like quarterback,
it's about preparing for next

222
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,120
year when they're gonna have a
mass exodus in that room who's

223
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,600
gonna come and step up.
And I think he's one of the guys

224
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,120
where if you watch his film in
high school, you watch how he

225
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,440
progressed.
He's special.

226
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,600
He's really special.
We have an embarrassment of

227
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,760
riches at the wide receiver
position, which is something I I

228
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,680
mean, I've been following this
team a long time.

229
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,720
I think Trey said 2018 might
have been competing with it.

230
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,040
I said this is the best
receiving course since 2016,

231
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640
probably when we had Ford Cam
and Bucky and Bucky was

232
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,320
basically a wide out.
And Devin Wilson.

233
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,720
And CJ Carroll But yeah it it's
great fun tell minds like I

234
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640
don't know how much longer he's
going to be a Tech because that

235
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,200
guy is just doing so much work
and we keep giving raises and

236
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,520
he's an assistant coach or
assistant head coach now but he

237
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,240
has done amazing things with
that wide receiver.

238
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,200
Let's talk about defense quickly
before we kind of close out this

239
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,120
segment and move on to to some
other guys coming up here who is

240
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,920
going to be the guy opposite of
APRI.

241
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Know last year we saw a lot of
Cold Nelson and he was a guy

242
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,280
that talked about being better
against the run.

243
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Burgos has been getting a lot of
love.

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Is that the guy that you think
puts up either the highest or

245
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,320
second highest sack numbers on
the team?

246
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,880
Man, I I'd like to see Burgos
put up those numbers.

247
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920
I also look out for CJ McRae.
I'm kind of, I think he's going

248
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,280
to turn a corner this year.
He's a guy that's moved from

249
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,320
safety, the linebacker and out
to to defensive end.

250
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:02,360
I think he's a guy that could
really put put the pieces

251
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,240
together and I think he matches
APR skill set a little bit more

252
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,440
in terms of getting.
Up in the past, there's a

253
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,240
comment on from YouTube, Brian
Chug that rail if you think we

254
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000
win more than two games this
year.

255
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Yeah.
There are there are 400 people

256
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,840
watching, Brian.
Chug that rail.

257
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Strap in.
Oh, let's go it a good day.

258
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,880
The Wi-Fi.
Toss is actually working, which

259
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,800
is good.
We are cooking but closing out

260
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040
the thoughts on.
D line closing out thoughts on D

261
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,280
line.
Burgos has a bit of the pop.

262
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Nelson has been more consistent,
right has said that for last

263
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,720
couple years but that's a that's
a position to that defensive

264
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
tackle.
You're rotating guys every other

265
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,760
drive you need three or four
guys out there.

266
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,520
It's not a just two starters so
good that they have solid

267
00:12:55,560 --> 00:13:03,360
players.
Yeah, I mean, yo, first of all,

268
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,080
shut up, Pat, for mixing in the
water.

269
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,280
You know, it's about time, man.
This defensive line, JC, great

270
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,240
coach, I don't care.
Anybody said I love JC I think

271
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,720
he's, he's done well.
And you know, we got dudes

272
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,960
running, we got tackles running
over 21 miles an hour, Copeland

273
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,080
putting up bending bars in the
weight room.

274
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,640
Like, dude, we like, yeah, I'm
excited for the DS.

275
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,560
We again we talked about the the
riches, that wide receiver.

276
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,320
I don't remember our D line
having the names having guys

277
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,240
that they're excited about here
and the coaches talked about

278
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,880
since the four guys we had in
like 2015 when it was Daddy and

279
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Marshall and Maddie and all
those guys.

280
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,120
But had I have a question for
you because you've been looking

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,720
pretty up here but you know we
got we got to get some

282
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,240
commentary out of here.
This is a tough one, right?

283
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,040
So this year we might see Dorian
Strong play a little bit more

284
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,840
nickel.
He's got kind of a body type for

285
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,640
that.
I think that Price hinted at it

286
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,000
a little bit, maybe even set it
out right.

287
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,440
If he's playing inside and you
got Mansoor on the outside,

288
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,720
who's the other corner?
Who's the other starting corner?

289
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,720
Cause Canteen is no longer here.
You gonna put me on the spot?

290
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,920
I wouldn't You on this spot.
Come on now, who?

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,000
Can help me?
Out Dante Love it.

292
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,720
Dante love it.
Dante.

293
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Love.
It OK, that's what I'm thinking

294
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520
as well.
Or is Braylon Johnson, he's

295
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,880
still playing CB, right?
I mean like he's hasn't moved to

296
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,680
safety.
So that would be an option as

297
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,400
well, those two young guys.
But I think we got a lot riding

298
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,880
on love it.
I know everyone's talking about

299
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,840
our TV core like, oh, we're
solid.

300
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,440
We're solid.
But these days in college

301
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,920
football, you do end up playing
a lot of men.

302
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360
You're going to need to rely on
Dante Love on the outside.

303
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,080
Am I correct?
Right.

304
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280
That seems where it's.
At Absolutely, absolutely.

305
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,440
And I mean, don't sleep on
Braylon Johnson either, so.

306
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Braylon is a his pedigree speaks
for itself.

307
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,920
That's right.
That's right.

308
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Is online still the number one
concern in terms of position

309
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,400
groups going into this year?
Is there anything else that

310
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,040
concerns you?
I think, I think the level up

311
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,840
the the online play.
Needs to level up as well.

312
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,840
If we're gonna meet what we
think we could potentially be,

313
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,160
the online needs to take
another.

314
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,280
Step I I'm concerned about
linebacker I I even though Ron

315
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,800
Belt comes in they've been
saying all the right things he's

316
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,200
coming up a level in terms of
going from AG5 to AP5 there's no

317
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,080
more P5 but you know what I mean
are you are you guys feel cause

318
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120
like Kelly Lawson wasn't at in
spring like it's it's a concern

319
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,840
for me about we tackled so
Portland lineback in court

320
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
times.
Played Alabama.

321
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,520
He played Missouri, two of the
best rushing offenses in the

322
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,200
country last year.
Played really well in both those

323
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,280
games.
I am worried a little bit about

324
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160
linebacker though.
I think Caleb Woodson is a guy

325
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,200
who could show out today.
And his parents were.

326
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080
Great.
He's a guy who could show out

327
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,160
today and take that step up.
But I think for me it's the

328
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,560
linebacker plus safety filling
the rug gaps.

329
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120
That is the number one concern
on the defense, yeah.

330
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,360
And I honestly think it might be
more concerned than the

331
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,840
offensive line because the
offensive line improves.

332
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,160
So we talked about they actually
graded out above average by the

333
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,360
end of the.
Season, which is Wild.

334
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400
It's the first 3-4 games were
really.

335
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,560
Yeah, So I think that's it's
teams cannot hand the ball off

336
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,720
and run for 50.
Yards right up the middle every

337
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,160
single day cannot.
Sam breaking it down.

338
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Alright, that's going to do it
for segment #1.

339
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,120
We're going to be back with a
couple more guys.

340
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,520
I think we got Billy Ray coming
up.

341
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
We got treadmill horse of
Twitter fame.

342
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,200
We got drift coming up next and
I'm driving again, so I'll be

343
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,320
back.
All right, 5 minute break, we'll

344
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,720
be back on YouTube.
Hang with us.

345
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,600
So would you say it's a road
soda?

346
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Dan, there's a comment here.
Dan, better start hitting that

347
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,840
beer or it's going to get no.
It's.

348
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,480
Not going to.
We got a lot of people watching

349
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,480
on YouTube and we appreciate
everyone out there.

350
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,600
This is segment #2, and this is
going to be more of our preview

351
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,600
of the game.
Little bit of season preview, a

352
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,880
little bit of a game preview,
and the rosters were actually

353
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,520
released in advance.
That is not something we've had

354
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,440
the last couple weeks.
We got them on Thursday.

355
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,839
First of all, orange and maroon
are the team colors.

356
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,319
We're getting color rush
fellows, which that's what the

357
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,200
NFL started doing on Thursday
nights.

358
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,200
But it's nice to see both of our
colors out there.

359
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,359
I assume the quarterbacks will
be in white, yes.

360
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,280
Can't.
Can't touch them.

361
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Did you guys get a chance to
peek at those rosters?

362
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, What?
You know, I see Kyron's on the

363
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,720
maroon team.
We've got a bunch of really

364
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,440
different, like Malachi's on the
maroon team.

365
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,080
We've got Aiden Green, Keelan
Felton, XTB 2, both Moore

366
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
brothers.
Like, I was first going to the

367
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,480
offensive line.
I was going to D lines when you

368
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,280
were looking.
At that.

369
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,520
What what team do you think has
the advantage going into the

370
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,520
spring game?
It's it's miraculous whichever.

371
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,080
1 Kyron's.
On Yeah, that's that's.

372
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,560
I had the same thought.
Kyron might only play a couple

373
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,440
drives, but they'll put up some
points early and I think that'll

374
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,520
be enough to ride it.
Out.

375
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,360
Yeah, that was the concern for
me is that if Kyron goes in and

376
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:04,000
only plays two drives, well then
we have whiskey and if you think

377
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,240
pops #2 then that might give
Orange the advantage.

378
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,600
Drift.
I think you put something out on

379
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,680
Twitter saying you thought
Orange had the.

380
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,680
Edge.
Yeah, yeah.

381
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,120
Well, I think the offensive line
is better on Mirage.

382
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,920
I think the defensive line is
better Orange.

383
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,520
So I think it kind of evens out,
but I think we're going to get

384
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,640
more POP versus Wiki today than
we are going to get POP versus

385
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,680
Kyron and so.
Going orange.

386
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,840
OK, I like if.
That's the reason.

387
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,400
But you know the.
Wind, you know, it's a little

388
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,560
bit of it will play a factor.
Billy, did you get a chance to

389
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,160
look at those those two Merlin
orange rosters over there?

390
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,400
I.
Got to be honest with you, I

391
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,880
have.
I have not had a chance to look

392
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,560
at the rosters.
Do you think it matters?

393
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,360
Much.
Look, I I'm on the record on the

394
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,880
spring game.
It is an awesome opportunity to

395
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,920
get to know the players.
I love what they do when they

396
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,800
have the entire team come out
and you're introducing

397
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,960
everybody, all the new freshmen,
where they're from and have the

398
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,200
entire state and get to know
them.

399
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,280
If you're coming here to
Blacksburg to learn about the

400
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,000
football team for next year,
probably not going to learn a

401
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
whole lot.
That has kind of been my spring

402
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,880
game, my spring game mantra.
I do think that it's going to be

403
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,840
interesting to see some of the
younger guys, especially at the

404
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080
quarterback position on the
defensive line and the offensive

405
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,600
line play.
But we're pretty sure what the

406
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,880
team is going to look like,
especially at our skill

407
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,160
positions going into next year.
So I view the.

408
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Spring game as an opportunity.
To hang out with with friends

409
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,760
and have a good time and we did
that and check, check, check,

410
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,240
we.
Did that last night.

411
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,120
We're doing it right now.
And I actually didn't give Drift

412
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,600
a proper introduction because
he's from the BT4 Alpod does.

413
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,440
I think I heard someone say
lovers, but that's for life or

414
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,640
legends.
Which one of legends?

415
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,200
Legends.
You know the the history on the

416
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,120
legends.
It comes from Don Deep Fridays

417
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,000
and.
That's right, there's.

418
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,360
Some, yeah, there's some.
There's some culture there.

419
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,720
So it's a great.
It's a great.

420
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,360
It's a.
Great.

421
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:55,080
Don started Don Deep Fridays as
a culture podcast.

422
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,800
Quickly got more listeners
talking about tech every single

423
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,240
episode you talked to,
Charlemagne talked about.

424
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,080
Basically everything and you
know, shout out man he.

425
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,880
He's here somewhere, right?
He's off on Chicken Hill right

426
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,600
now.
Yeah, I'm just a random guy from

427
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,040
like Michigan.
I love Tech.

428
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,600
This is great for me.
Someone.

429
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,160
Told me last night.
You had a a parent that went to

430
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,920
tech briefly or something.
No, that's not true.

431
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,720
That's not true.
There's a lot of rumors going

432
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,960
around.
The the real answer is my

433
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,160
parents lived in Roanoke.
Crow was born, so they

434
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,880
encouraged it.
I didn't know that.

435
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:25,960
They did?
Oh OK.

436
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,960
When?
When I got.

437
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,200
It takes away from the
randomness.

438
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,720
It it, Yeah.
Don't tell people that.

439
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,880
But if.
You lean into that, just you

440
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,440
pick it.
I got from.

441
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,560
Cincinnati, who loves the.
Host.

442
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,000
I mean, my parents are
immigrants, so they don't have

443
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480
teams, you know, they just kind
of, they don't really watch that

444
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,280
much for us.
So I picked it for really.

445
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Well, we got great colors and we
got a great fan base.

446
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,520
So we're well, you know, love to
have you.

447
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,880
And let's get back to some
questions, 'cause this one's

448
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
actually a good one, 'cause we
remember two years ago, Caleb

449
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,080
Smith went off in the spring
game and it foreshadowed a great

450
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,800
season.
Last year we saw Grant Wells

451
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,320
play well in the spring game and
it foreshadowed the same thing

452
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,320
we saw the previous season,
which was it was pretty mid,

453
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,920
right?
So who is going to win the Caleb

454
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Smith Award today for a great
standout performance that

455
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,320
actually foreshadows a great
season?

456
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,720
I'll ask you first.
So you mentioned wide receiver

457
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,400
and Caleb Smith, I'm going wide
receiver with this and Aiden

458
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,520
Green, I know you talked about
him on the previous segment.

459
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,920
I just think he's a guy who's
primed to have that breakout.

460
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,080
Like, I remember the year that
Caleb Farley had that huge

461
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,240
spring game played wide
receiver, and it's he.

462
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,960
He had gotten a lot of hype in
the offseason and then everyone

463
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520
was waiting to see what he would
do and he blew out that wide

464
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,040
receiver in that spring game,
which was awesome.

465
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,640
He didn't end up playing wide
receiver after that.

466
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,680
He would.
Have been a great one.

467
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,080
He would have been great.
He kept that there, absolutely.

468
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:48,000
And by the way, drift kind of
looks.

469
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Like Caleb Barley.
He kind of does, so it gets

470
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
throwing me off.
I'm going to get a #3 jersey.

471
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,000
We.
Got to get off that jersey.

472
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,760
All right, I'll win costume.
Does anyone else have a pick for

473
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,520
a standout that's going to have
a great season?

474
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Go ahead, Bill.
I'm.

475
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Going to go with Harrison, St.
Germain, I think, yeah, I think

476
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,600
there's a lot of talent in the
tight end room.

477
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,120
I think he's a young guy.
Tucker Tucker always said some

478
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,160
awesome things about him.
Jalen Lane is said some awesome

479
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720
things about him and.
Just continues to work.

480
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,480
Continues.
To work and I.

481
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Think he's going to have a lot
of opportunity.

482
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,800
Played really well against
Tulane, so I'm excited to see

483
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,960
his game grow and learn
something there in the in the

484
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,240
spring what?
Do you got Sam can?

485
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,960
I piggyback off of that.
Sure, sure, We're not talking

486
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,960
enough about how good this tiger
is.

487
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Even losing Take Home Right's
oldness, like God's now

488
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840
four-star recruited out of high
school, has done nothing but.

489
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Perform when he's there.
Nick Gallo has done nothing but

490
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,920
do his job since he's been here.
He's coming back.

491
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,160
Anderson St.
Germain reserved guy last year,

492
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,600
popped off later in the season
doing great.

493
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960
And then you know it's.
Didn't he had a touchdown in the

494
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,280
bowl game?
Had a touchdown in the bowl

495
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,080
game.
Yeah.

496
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,080
So I we're we don't talk enough
about how important the tight

497
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
end position is to this offense
and how well they've done

498
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,840
setting that position up for
the.

499
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,720
Future Jerry, Jerry, What's your
pick?

500
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,480
I'm going Dante Lovett.
So we talked about him in the

501
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,360
previous segment, I think losing
Canteen.

502
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,560
Canteen played a lot last year
and I think Dante Lovett's going

503
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,880
to take those snaps this year
and I think we're going to see a

504
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,080
a good performance.
From him today, he started to

505
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,560
emerge later in the season, had
some really nice one off plays

506
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,440
here and then with more snaps,
who knows what he could do now

507
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,560
This one's we're going to be a
little careful here because I

508
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,360
don't want to.
I don't want to disparage any of

509
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,840
these players, but who's going
to win the Grant Wells Award for

510
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,360
someone who has a great game
today but maybe doesn't follow

511
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:40,480
it up in the season?
I mean, this is a crazy place

512
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,080
and this is what we're going
for.

513
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,000
We're starting to I'm, I'm going
to go, I'm going to go with the

514
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,640
weather, 'cause I actually feel
like it's rather than.

515
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,960
Shout out and I know this.
Guy's got related.

516
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,000
Here's the player I think is
going to play well and then not

517
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,800
play well in the fall.
So I'm going to go with the

518
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,840
weather.
I think we're going to have a

519
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,200
great weather day today and
maybe the weather won't hang up

520
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,080
so well in the fall.
Oh.

521
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,520
Not pretty.
So I'll say Mike, I would think

522
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,440
he's going to stand out and use
people's.

523
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,120
He was a freak in high school,
but Tech didn't pursue him

524
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,280
because he was too small.
He hit the weight room at Duke,

525
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,320
got really good.
He's a special, like, he's a

526
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,600
quick twitch.
Ricky Walker S defensive tackle,

527
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,200
really excited for him.
And I think the player who's

528
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,680
going to be like, wow, he's
killing it and not going to do

529
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,680
it as much in the fall is
actually Aiden Green because

530
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,320
he's probably wide receiver 4,
wide receiver five.

531
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,840
We don't pass the ball and his.
Parents are right there.

532
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,680
He's great.
He's great.

533
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,760
It's.
Not it's not throw the ball

534
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,160
enough for wide.
Receiver four or five My, my.

535
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,200
It's.
Just there's not enough numbers.

536
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,800
That's what I'm saying.
It's like my guy would be

537
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Jeremiah Kony for the exact same
reasons.

538
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,880
He could be great.
We have two really good running

539
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,120
backs in front of him, so we're
going to see some of these young

540
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,200
guys play really well.
But then, because of the depth

541
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,760
chart, they might have to wait
another year to really.

542
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Blow up Today is a tryout for
2020.

543
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,600
I look at it the same way I
think.

544
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Dilling with Dilling, Whitney's
my guy.

545
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,400
He's going to get a lot of
opportunities to throw.

546
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,080
The ball today, I think he's
probably going to look good, but

547
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,200
like, I don't think we're going
to hear it from him again in

548
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,160
2024.
Well, we're hoping not right,

549
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920
'cause if everything goes right,
it's healthy and we're good.

550
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,560
I think that's what I'm
expecting, yeah.

551
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Everyone's crossing themselves,
yeah, but I would also put like

552
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Jeremiah County.
I think he's going to get a lot

553
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,880
of carries today.
Tyler Mason's going to get a lot

554
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600
of carries today, so.
Excited to see Mason.

555
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,080
Yeah, we'll we'll see a lot of
these guys.

556
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,440
But honestly, like again, this
is a tryout for 2025.

557
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,520
I think they're going to get a
chance to shine today, but we

558
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,360
might not hear their names again
for the rest of the year.

559
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,720
All right, we tiptoed around
that one.

560
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,680
That was like Louis CK telling a
joke on SNL.

561
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,560
But now we'll move on reference.
That's good.

562
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:57,440
What could we see today that
says you?

563
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Know how this goes with me.
As long as the sun, as in as if

564
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,240
the sun is in the sky and the
grass is green, as far as I'm

565
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,320
concerned, we will find a way to
win 10 games.

566
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,240
Next.
Year.

567
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,840
That's basically ever, ever.
That's basically Evergreen.

568
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,320
Every.
Single.

569
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,880
Year.
I think every time I see this.

570
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,720
Year.
No, I feel.

571
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,640
I feel really, really good about
this team and I think this

572
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,400
spring game specifically again,
we kind of know what the roster

573
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,240
is going to look like, give or
take.

574
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,920
You have another another Portal
window coming up and figuring

575
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,960
out the offense line situation.
But.

576
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,600
In terms of.
Excitement around the program

577
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,320
and excitement around the roster
specifically.

578
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,160
There's always been excitement
around the program, but

579
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,920
excitement about the roster and
how many talented individuals we

580
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,280
have in different rooms.
I don't remember it being like

581
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,200
this.
You know, I I don't remember

582
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,000
people breaking down the spring
game.

583
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800
No matter what I think about it,
people are so excited about this

584
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,280
upcoming year.
They've been talking about it

585
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,040
for months.
Since the since the bowl game.

586
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,480
Since.
The Since the bowl game ended,

587
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,520
so yes, it has to be one of the
more anticipated.

588
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,760
What What was the last season
with this was anticipation.

589
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Seriously.
Anticipation.

590
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,360
Anticipation for success.
Not anticipation for I can't

591
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,440
wait.
I think before 2015 when we were

592
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,320
playing Ohio State game one,
there was a lot of excitement

593
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,640
because we had beaten them the
previous year and hey, maybe

594
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,960
we'll do it again.
We would have done that, but

595
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,680
that was.
There's a lot of excitement

596
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,080
leading up into that year.
But this roster is so much

597
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,560
better than that.
Roster I think the tie rod years

598
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,040
when we.
Knew that team.

599
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,120
Was the best one of, if not the
best in the ACC Five.

600
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:36,360
Since then, we haven't had a
roster that is this well put.

601
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,480
Together.
Yeah.

602
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,720
To me it's you got to go back
all the way to like after 2011

603
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,280
after we were in the Sugar Bowl.
I think there we still have the

604
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,000
expectations of like ten wins
and huge seasons.

605
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,520
I don't think I've seen this.
Type of high up since a lot.

606
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,640
It's been a long time.
It's hard to replay when you go

607
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,840
back 1220, elevens, 13 years
ago.

608
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,800
I mean, it's hard to remember
what you thought.

609
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,360
I remember buying my tickets to
the Boise.

610
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,920
State game at FedEx.
And I was so juiced up for that

611
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,000
year.
I I was like going to the

612
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,800
Gobbler country or whatever the
heck sites that were out there.

613
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,640
There wasn't much.
Not like today.

614
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,000
All the content that's out there
for Regina Tech football, I

615
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,400
would check every day for a new
Regina Tech article because I

616
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,480
was so excited for the Boise
State game and that was a tragic

617
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,280
end.
But that's the level of

618
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,760
excitement I'm starting to feel
towards this season.

619
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,080
I wanted to get 1A commentary
from Drifter or Sam on the What

620
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,560
could you see today that makes
you feel more optimistic about

621
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,120
the upcoming series?
I liked Billy's offensive line

622
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,520
situation that.
That was a nice.

623
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Situation.
It's a good word for it.

624
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,720
I think last year the offensive
line looked pretty poor in the

625
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,080
spring game and reflected in the
season at times and so I don't

626
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,240
know, I'd like to see that
improve today.

627
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,320
I want.
To see him block, it's gotta

628
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,160
it's gotta be.
Better.

629
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:50,880
And we did.
Probably a.

630
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Whole lot of transfers, so it's
gotta be just.

631
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,080
Improvement, I don't know.
Just development.

632
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,720
Improvement.
I think on that note I I I think

633
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,000
that the overall way that we
improved our offensive line last

634
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,520
year was a lot of schematical
changes.

635
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,240
I know Coach Holmes did a great
job on our end of breaking down

636
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,920
what Coach Crooks was doing, but
I I think they did a fantastic

637
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,840
job of basically Tech kind of
reinvent itself two or three

638
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,080
times last year when you make
the quarterback switch and then

639
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
when you really refine what he's
able to do and then you make

640
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,000
more switches on what he feels
comfortable and what he's best

641
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160
at.
So I really think we've talked

642
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,680
about that ad nausea and how
much credit is deserved there.

643
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,960
But you think about some of the
other stuff that's going on in

644
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,400
the spring game, not just
players that have popped off and

645
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160
maybe haven't played as much.
I mean, we literally had Caleb

646
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,840
Farley had a one handed catch as
a wide receiver in the spring

647
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,200
game.
Like crazy stuff.

648
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,880
You see some.
Wild.

649
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,760
Things right.
You see some wild things.

650
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,160
So.
We'll let.

651
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Sam, get in on this, Yeah.
Yeah, I the line of scrimmage,

652
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,880
like, if it looks competitive,
that'd be good to me because

653
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,520
that means we know, like we know
what Fuka can do.

654
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480
We know what Pedis can do.
We've seen them in ACC play.

655
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,640
If this offensive line can step
up and block those guys, or if

656
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,880
those guys can make plays
against a bunch of rude

657
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,640
offensive line, I think we'll
feel good.

658
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,120
If iron sharpens Iron Man, if
that's even then you feel.

659
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,960
Good.
I I agree with that because I do

660
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,640
think the D lines much improved.
So if they can actually hold up

661
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,200
a block to just point to your
point it it could be we could be

662
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,720
in for a promising year and I'm
excited about having our coach

663
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,560
here for second year.
We're going to do a couple of

664
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,200
props couple of over unders
before we move on to segment 3.

665
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,240
Sam put these together, they're
incredibly detailed.

666
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,200
I'm going to get to as many as
we can here but I want to let's

667
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,920
start with just the game total
over under points.

668
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,840
I think last year Treadmill said
always take the under in the

669
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,880
spring game.
Sam has set the line at 42 1/2

670
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,880
total game game points.
What are you thinking of

671
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,000
checking?
Well, I think.

672
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Sam's doing an awesome job
setting these lines, by the way,

673
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,920
so call out.
'Cause that is love.

674
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,280
That's a love tone.
Yeah, I'm still taking the

675
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,920
under.
I'll always take the under.

676
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,440
So under 42 1/2.
Nice.

677
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,800
What do you got, Sam?
You said it AM.

678
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,600
I going to bet on my own, Yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's highly

679
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,120
illegal.
You're like the kid from LSU.

680
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,880
Get in there.
I'll I'll say over, but

681
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,920
slightly.
I think you're gonna see, I

682
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,120
think you're gonna see Pop and
Wiki look like young

683
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,000
quarterbacks against a good
defensive secondary.

684
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
I think our defensive secondary
is deep enough that they can.

685
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,960
Hang with these miners Drift you
got over under what you got in

686
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,680
42 1/2.
Kinda goes the over.

687
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,680
You know, yeah.
Let's get some excitement going.

688
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Yeah.
Bill, you going over under?

689
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,640
I'm gonna go under and I think
spring games, if the if my

690
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,960
memory serves me.
Correctly, it's just.

691
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,800
There's not going to be a
tremendous difference.

692
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,760
I feel like we have a really
balanced football team this

693
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:43,680
year.
So you're not going to see

694
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,200
exactly.
And then also when you get to

695
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,960
like the end of the third and
inch of the fourth quarter, you

696
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,480
have a lot of guys who aren't
getting a lot of live scrimmage

697
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,280
time that are then participating
in the scratch.

698
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,240
There's just not going to be a
ton of scoring that goes on at

699
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,480
the end of the football game,
so.

700
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,800
I'll go on there.
All right, this one's the

701
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,240
following first TD in the spring
game.

702
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,880
Sam.
Sam did this like.

703
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,240
He's got the plus here.
Man.

704
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Like best odds 2 + 2, two 57.
Jennings is +400, Felton 525,

705
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,480
drones 525 lane 525 and then
other +1000.

706
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,720
You taking the field here or are
you taking one of those top

707
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,920
guys?
Go ahead.

708
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,200
So for me, you gotta go with the
odds on favorite.

709
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,280
Here.
You gotta go with two, two.

710
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,320
First touchdown, 2 the ball and
he's gonna get an early

711
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,280
touchdown.
OK, I only read your tweet.

712
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,680
The.
First time you figured out and I

713
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440
thought it was silly.
And now the more I think about

714
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,160
it, if there was ever a time to
be like, hey, look, we're just

715
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,280
gonna go ahead and do this.
On the first play of the.

716
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,680
Spring game to get people fired
up.

717
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,720
Yeah, I could.
OK, can I can I talk about that?

718
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,160
Real.
Quick.

719
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,320
Yeah.
Wait, yeah, go for it.

720
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,720
OK.
I don't know if anyone watched.

721
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,640
No one watched it.
I'm too much of A college

722
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,960
football nerd.
No one else watched it.

723
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,600
NC State spring game.
They had their first string

724
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,520
offense against.
The.

725
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,920
Third string defense.
I I heard about it.

726
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,720
They.
Put on like 50 something points.

727
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,640
It was pathetic looking that
they put on a show for the fans.

728
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,280
If I was Brent Fry, I would 100%
rig the Sprint.

729
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,440
There rig it for points.
No, no.

730
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,760
No, no, no.
So what I do is I run a couple

731
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,000
handoffs, maybe a swing pass.
We're feeling good.

732
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,880
But I tell every Hey, play 5
defense, We're gonna run a wide

733
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,320
cover, two lane in the slot,
goes off motion, runs a skinny

734
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:20,800
post.
Don't.

735
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,160
Tackle new cleats.
New cleats Guys slip all the

736
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,800
time in new cleats you're.
Like vomit really rigging this.

737
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,000
Thing Vomit.
Everyone looks defense doesn't

738
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,480
look bad.
They're playing slip flops in

739
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,120
the secondary.
Just one play.

740
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,840
ESPN Top Ten?
Why not?

741
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,520
I mean and then you.
Oh, drones.

742
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,240
Say great.
All right goes.

743
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,440
We're taking your home.
I want to get Sam on the staff

744
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,480
now.
Yeah, we need to find a

745
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,280
position.
For him?

746
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,720
Drift what?
Do you think on 1st touchdown?

747
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,480
Taking a Felton like that, I
like where you're.

748
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,080
I like where you're going there.
I think it's going to be a bomb.

749
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,480
Bomb Felton.
And yeah.

750
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,240
Felton is on the maroon team, so
it's either going to be coming

751
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,800
from drones.
Or Wiki Felton on a hitch and go

752
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560
yeah.
Just Bob Hitch receding all

753
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,440
season, right?
So.

754
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,720
I've seen the script.
All right.

755
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,160
And then there's a couple more
props here and then we'll cut

756
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,679
this thing off.
Which one should we go with

757
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,280
here?
Total turnovers.

758
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,320
That is that fun?
Let's do drones, passing yards,

759
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,960
because this is interesting.
149, 1/2 yards, That seems high

760
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,480
to me for a guy who might only
play 149.

761
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,600
Is the over under?
Are you taking?

762
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,120
I know you're going under.
Super under like because I'm

763
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,239
like, I'm trying to think of
what would have to happen for

764
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,040
him to get to 150.
One yard over 149.

765
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,440
That's half.
I mean, you'd have to put him in

766
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,120
for three series and you
basically have to bomb it on

767
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,639
like all three series.
Like I just.

768
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,120
I just don't see.
It Do you know how many yards

769
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,520
grand wells?
Had last year.

770
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,400
I mean, he went nuts, so I think
over 200.

771
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,800
Oh wow, a lot of snaps.
I I I do not think that Kyron

772
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
drones going to play as much as.
Grand Wells did last year.

773
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:59,240
I hope to God he does not.
Would would we?

774
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,840
Would we all be fine if drones
like literally either didn't

775
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,760
play or played like 2-2 snaps?
If he was wearing pajama.

776
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,760
Pants.
Yeah, so happy.

777
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,240
If he comes out after one drive,
I'm really not that surprised,

778
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:14,880
all right?
I think that I mean Sam, do you

779
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,520
want to, is there any one of
these that you're really

780
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,880
passionate about will do one
more?

781
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:21,280
Do something about all my.
Lines.

782
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:22,840
How about?
How about?

783
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,880
All right, so we got 3 defensive
tackle transfers in.

784
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,200
We honestly don't have a lot of
defensive tackles playing in

785
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,160
this game, so they're going to
get a lot of run.

786
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,000
Peebles Copeland, Gillum over
Under 3 1/2 tackles were.

787
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,920
Lost.
This was actually my favorite

788
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,360
line that we made, 'cause like I
I can like see it and I actually

789
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,520
think this line set really well,
but I think that's it.

790
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,080
Since we're playing two hand
touch with the quarterbacks in

791
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,320
the spring made, I think they're
going to hit the over.

792
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,840
On this one.
Gotcha.

793
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,720
Yeah, I'm going over.
I'm going.

794
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:56,400
Over as well.
That's yeah, I'm, I mean, and

795
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,040
the sacks will be easy to come
by, but I also think those guys

796
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,880
are going to get after the
running backs in the backfield.

797
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,440
We'll we'll see.
We'll see some TF.

798
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,680
LS for sure.
Bill, before we close the

799
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,640
segment out, do you have any
final commentary because you're

800
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:07,920
going to be running the next
segment?

801
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,240
A couple of a couple of things I
would love next year.

802
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:14,080
I think it would be a fun game
if you bet on who takes more

803
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,520
streaks.
Do something like that.

804
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,320
You do like a Malachi, you just
basically say which one of

805
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:21,640
these?
Two players do you think sees

806
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,160
more small?
So do you use more cash?

807
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,640
The second thing is you
mentioned would anybody be upset

808
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,640
if we don't see Tyron player, he
plays two drives or whatever.

809
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,560
I'm going to reiterate, I don't
care who goes out there at all.

810
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,720
We have a great time.
Are you staying for the spring

811
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,160
game?
I'm just, I'm I'm hoping.

812
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,160
They're going to be here.
I can't put that out in the in

813
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,880
the in the.
Evening.

814
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,840
Yeah, yeah.
But yes, he's coming.

815
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,880
I'll be there.
Four quarters.

816
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:53,360
But no, it's just get out of the
game healthy and have a ton of

817
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,960
fun.
All right.

818
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,320
We're going to close this
segment out.

819
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,600
You have something I do not.
You're looking at me.

820
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,280
That's all I know, good looking.
It's OK.

821
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,680
We're going to close this one
out.

822
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,120
Thank you, Drift for being up
here.

823
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,280
Billy Sam Treadmill, you guys
were awesome.

824
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,320
Some of you guys are going to be
back on the next segment.

825
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,520
Woo standing.
Sarah, if we're going to do a

826
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,240
quick picture, if you're
watching on YouTube, back in 5

827
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:13,760
minutes.
Thank you.

828
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:21,520
We are back for segment 3 of the
Spring Game Preview.

829
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Just passed 1000 of you
watching, listening.

830
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,600
Whoa.
We love that.

831
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,680
Thank you all for hanging out
with us.

832
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,760
Pat's doing a happy dance in the
back you guys can't see.

833
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,400
But we're gonna go ahead and do
some intros.

834
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,720
We're gonna start number one
with the most important medical

835
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,640
professional in the New River
Valley.

836
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,800
So we're gonna start all the way
to the right and get some intros

837
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,880
going.
Dan to my microphone.

838
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Hey, you gonna talk to Jeremy?
How y'all doing?

839
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,840
I didn't know they're putting on
loud speakers.

840
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,280
I want all the families out
there to know that you cannot

841
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:16,080
come within.
1. 100 feet of Dan.

842
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,720
Love you, Kim.
You don't come hang out with me

843
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,600
anymore.
See dogs.

844
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:27,760
Hey guys, how we doing about The
Corner Podcast here?

845
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,440
Brian Siegler.
I'm so happy that Jeremy's up

846
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,160
here with me because we have
Jeremy on every year for the

847
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,040
state of the program and it's a
fucking tree, so I'm so glad

848
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,000
he's up here.
With every single year I say I'm

849
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,960
not gonna black out and dream
too much.

850
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,160
And every single year I black
out and don't know how the

851
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,280
podcast ends.
And then I find out like the

852
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,720
next day, Jeremy, you just
vanished.

853
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:55,520
And.
Treadmill Horse and watching

854
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,120
Brian chug that rail earlier is
one of the most impressive

855
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,560
things I've ever seen.
Shout out to Brian.

856
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,320
For the reaction was.
Funny why, Thank you.

857
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,960
So one of the first segments
we're gonna talk about, You all

858
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,080
have this lovely sheet in front
of you and we all know how this

859
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,760
works.
We stack rank coaches, we stack

860
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,640
rank players, we stack rank
compasses.

861
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,360
And it's extremely lazy.
Some guy who we quite frankly

862
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,280
could have had AI write the
article, but the article needs

863
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,600
to be written.
Shut up.

864
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,680
So one I wanna say, where do we
have coach pride here right now?

865
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,560
Coach.
Pride. 12 out of 17 coaches in

866
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,840
the ACC, which is preposterous.
But number one, I wanna say what

867
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,080
has impressed you the most of
coach pride From year one to

868
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,400
year two, we can either go and
order if you're fired.

869
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,800
Up, I'm fired up a relationship
building.

870
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,240
Relationship building has been
impeccable.

871
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,800
We have like reestablish the
757.

872
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
We got Virginia recruiting back
on board.

873
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,120
We have been really consistent
in the portal with filling holes

874
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,960
we need to with supplementing
some areas of concern.

875
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,120
And I think just the interaction
with the fan base and the way

876
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,240
Pride does that has been really
impressive to me.

877
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:20,520
So I mean right now, I mean, I I
can't really imagine a much

878
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,800
better scenario at this point.
Even though I was a little like,

879
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,680
I'm not sure year two was
amazing.

880
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,320
It's also.
Really impressive that the

881
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,440
relationships extend past who
he's recruiting.

882
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,000
I mean, this staff goes on
vacation together.

883
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,720
They treat each other like
they're actually friends, not

884
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,840
just people who work together.
The entire culture around that

885
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,240
building has been so, so, so
impressive and it has come from

886
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:44,920
the top down.
And also I really, what I really

887
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:49,120
appreciate is his ability and
willingness to speak freely

888
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,040
about, hey, here's an area that
we needed to get better as we

889
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,800
did to get better in that area
and hear the results of it.

890
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,160
So this is home has been a
marketing slogan here for awhile

891
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,360
now.
I feel like when I talk, when I

892
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,640
hear from the players, parents
about how prime staff treat them

893
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,240
and I actually feel like they're
they're coming through with the

894
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,280
the this is home slogan.
Everyone feels like it's family.

895
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,880
Everybody feels like it's home.
So I think he's really

896
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,520
delivering on that promise as
head coach and I think that

897
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,520
that's something that we wanted
post Fuente and I think we've

898
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:24,280
got it in spades and.
Brent Pride came into Virginia

899
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,080
Tech and he turned chicken shit
into chicken salad.

900
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,320
Bars.
And just the fact like if you

901
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,920
meet him like you know it feels
the the it's refreshing how

902
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,120
genuine he is.
He's very good at the, I call it

903
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:42,160
the running for mayor part, like
the public relations part of the

904
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:49,480
job he gets.
His ability to retain 86% of the

905
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:54,240
roster in the current era of
college football is remarkable.

906
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,120
And man, I'm just happy to have
him.

907
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,520
The kids call it Riz dance he's
got.

908
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,000
Yeah, like don't get me wrong,
like I do on a personal level,

909
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,280
like he was, he was an alright
guy or whatever.

910
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,120
But there is a difference.
Whenever like Fuente would come

911
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,680
into the room, like you see him
come in or like you, you rarely

912
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,800
see him out.
But if you like Cognitive or

913
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,200
whatever, like he was, he was
kind of like off on his own.

914
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,080
Like he was a nice guy, like
when you interacted with him

915
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,040
personally, but he was kind of
off on his own.

916
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,560
Whenever I comes in the room,
it's hey like going around

917
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,560
taking his.
So I'd like the mayor comment

918
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,440
like that's pretty accurate.
And he's like he's got like the

919
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,880
personality with you know also
if he were not winning or we

920
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,000
didn't have confidence in him,
we wouldn't care.

921
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,200
It's the fact that he's
continually improving and we're

922
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,200
always seeing him not being
satisfied even when a position

923
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,120
group is not or is looking
really good.

924
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:54,760
He's still trying to add, he's
still trying to get better at it

925
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,360
and that means a lot to us like
that I think is the difference

926
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,760
because I forget who said it but
someone said that who's

927
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,040
mentality a lot of times seemed
like it was I'm going to beat

928
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:10,360
you with what I got and prize
mentality is I'm gonna make

929
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:15,320
everything I have better to beat
you and I appreciate that and I

930
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,000
I appreciate what price doing
and I hope it doesn't like come

931
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,280
back to fight me in any way.
But I I believe in the man at

932
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,800
this point.
You're good.

933
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:27,840
In terms also have access to the
program and getting to know all

934
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,600
of the important people
surrounding it and the coaches

935
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,320
and the support staff and the
players, I mean, it's just the

936
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,200
way that the entire.
Program is marketed.

937
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,000
Is absolutely fantastic.
Yeah, like you just came in and

938
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,480
was like, hey, I need this, I
need that.

939
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,960
And he demanded of the athletic
department.

940
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,960
And I think they've done a good
job of of felt like giving him

941
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,920
what he needs.
And one thing that really stands

942
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,760
out to me was the Boston College
weekend, first home opener, his

943
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,920
first home game here in 2022
after Tech Talk live.

944
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,200
There's probably like 70 people
there at Mclean's, and he took

945
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,360
like at least three minutes
individually with each person

946
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,920
after it was over.
And I was like, he understands.

947
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,520
Pride gets it.
Yes, pride.

948
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,880
Gets it TM.
Thank you.

949
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,840
So we're gonna go down this list
instead of saying he's better

950
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:13,840
than this guy, he's better than
this guy.

951
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,040
Is there any coach on this list
that?

952
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,920
One word comes to your mind when
you see that that given coach.

953
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,400
Bill O'Brien should be 16.
Debussy when he's a charlatan.

954
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,720
I was thinking of a nice way to
say the same thing, so I

955
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:30,840
appreciate it.
I don't know how Dave Clawson's

956
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,200
ahead of Brent Pride when he
waxed Dave Clausson last year,

957
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,480
but it's OK.
Soon, soon enough, it will be

958
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,040
revealed what was true and what
wasn't.

959
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,280
Why?
Why is Brett Lashley ahead of

960
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,760
this 'cause he won a in the
Championship?

961
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,680
He has more wins.
On three says so or Jesse,

962
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,720
Jesse, Simon.
If G5 wins are a bitch, right?

963
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,240
Hey, Brett.
I mean, Bill O'Brien hasn't been

964
00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:00,360
a head coach in how long, and
he's ahead of Brent.

965
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,720
Like, that's crazy, that one.
Particularly makes no sense to.

966
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,120
Me Bill O'Brien.
He's the one that pisses me off.

967
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,600
Like, it's it's one of these,
like, stupid rankings from some

968
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,680
rando.
Like they got fried.

969
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,560
Well, he's clearly not #12 from
what he's done from the past few

970
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:16,680
seasons.
Whatever.

971
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,720
Let him put this out there.
We've got hop.

972
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:21,080
We've got everything going on.
Everyone's coming to spring

973
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,720
game.
Like, it's this huge event.

974
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,680
It's pretty much a scrimmage.
Like, we have a lot more hop

975
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,640
than a lot of these programs.
We have a lot more going for

976
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,880
than a lot of these programs.
Who cares about these stupid

977
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,760
rankings?
Like, let these, like, media

978
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,080
people say whatever they want,
like prize.

979
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,520
Got it.
We've got like everything coming

980
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,560
through it.
We've got momentum and we're

981
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,800
going to ride it bars.
Still going to ask one more

982
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,120
question on this media list.
I'm going to say a coach and a

983
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,600
school and I want in.
Or.

984
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,680
Out.
Are you in on it or are you out

985
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,560
on it?
And #1 is Mandy Diaz every?

986
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,640
I'm out, 'cause he's already
proven he can't coach in the

987
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,480
ACC.
So I I mean, I don't really care

988
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,560
if it's Miami or Duke.
I I think we we know the, we

989
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:07,840
know how it's gonna end then.
OK.

990
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,400
Out.
He is a really good defensive

991
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,560
coordinator.
Out he floundered at Miami and

992
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,800
they have 1000 times more
resources and what he's gonna

993
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,640
have to do, especially on the
admission side.

994
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,280
I mean, I think meaning he had
many, he has gonna be really,

995
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,640
really good there.
And it's gonna highlight just

996
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,440
how much of A cultural issue
they have in Miami.

997
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,560
And it's gonna be awesome.
And we're gonna sit around,

998
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:35,840
we're gonna throw that.
At.

999
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,400
Him.
He's he's that Jeremy counts out

1000
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,440
of left field baby.
Do you hear this mini?

1001
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:54,080
Guy at the end.
Of the table just making stuff

1002
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,200
up that we're all supposed to
buy.

1003
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,800
So y'all think I have him on
just for shithen.

1004
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,560
He maximizes the talent that he
has and he does good with the

1005
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,680
roster that he has.
So that that that's it.

1006
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,960
He's gonna, he's gonna go out
there and he's gonna win you six

1007
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,960
or seven games every year, no
matter who's on.

1008
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,160
Yeah, I'm in on Brent Keys, the
second best Brent on the list

1009
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,880
I'm in.
Honestly, don't give it to you.

1010
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,920
I don't think George is going to
have the funding or anything

1011
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,720
else to do anything.
And last last one year I want to

1012
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:25,320
ask you if you could only pick
one of these three who have a

1013
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,520
really important year for their.
Tenure coming up.

1014
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,760
You can only pick one to lead
your program.

1015
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,280
Pat Nardouzi, Mack Brown.
Dabo's Shit.

1016
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,040
So you can only pick one of
these coaches to lead your

1017
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,120
program.
It's Dabo Sweeney, Mack Brown or

1018
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:42,920
Pat Nard we.
Want him?

1019
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,080
To lead it dabo because Dabo's
going to find the money.

1020
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,960
Yeah, I'm going to say Dabo too.
Dabo's like the the best coach

1021
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,840
there is.
Pat Dabo is the best recruiter,

1022
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,000
so he's going to get you the
players.

1023
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,200
Oh man.
Yeah, give me Narducci.

1024
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,480
I did not want old Charlotte and
Sweeney around me, and I don't

1025
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:07,000
want Pat Brown stumbling up with
the central trimmer trying to,

1026
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,680
like, coach my team.
I don't care.

1027
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,160
Let's go ahead and let's go
ahead and get Narducci.

1028
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,400
I hate the guy, but he's a good
coach.

1029
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,760
This is gonna hurt coming out of
my mouth.

1030
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,600
That Narduzzi like y'all.
Are crazy.

1031
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,960
I It's gotta be is.
Dabo oh man, Dabo's gonna get

1032
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,160
you the talent.
I mean that's.

1033
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,400
That's Dabo's gonna get you the
talent, but like, I think he's

1034
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,040
not adapting to the modern
college football, the atmosphere

1035
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,200
of the transfer portal.
And nil and I'm.

1036
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,560
Very concerned about that
program long term, that Narduzzi

1037
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,160
is going to be what he is,
because he did.

1038
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,280
With offense coordinator, he ran
off.

1039
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,720
Yeah, he said.
Fair enough, he said.

1040
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,280
They threw the ball too much and
they had Kenny Pickett.

1041
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,000
Nobody said a word about
background.

1042
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,520
Positive negative word.
Recruit.

1043
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:01,000
That's.
It.

1044
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:12,600
And he S.
A They're not gonna adapt.

1045
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,440
And they were good in a system
where they knew how to work the

1046
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,000
system and get the recruit they
needed because they knew how to

1047
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,880
make the money flow Then.
Now Devo can't launder money

1048
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,240
through a church.
He doesn't.

1049
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,040
Have to so he.
Doesn't have, he doesn't have,

1050
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,040
like, this huge competitive
advantage.

1051
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,080
Bar.
Taken away, he can't.

1052
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:33,840
He can't actually coach.
Do we alright, I I just, I'm

1053
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,920
asking a question.
Do we actually believe that a

1054
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,240
lot of these other programs
don't cheat in different

1055
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:41,560
capacities?
Everybody's.

1056
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,480
I think they've always cheat,
and I think the problem is, is

1057
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,560
that I don't know if Dabo has
adapted to the.

1058
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,280
New type of.
Cheating, I I agree with that.

1059
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:55,760
But Dabo gets a lot of pushback
because he may may not or had

1060
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,640
some situation where he's able
by players breaking news like

1061
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:21,760
most top 25 programs
last last couple that I had

1062
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,400
here.
So I actually like this one

1063
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,920
best.
Lane Stadium cheer or band songs

1064
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,040
so we can hum along this one, we
can submit it.

1065
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,880
You can't say stick it in.
I love the

1066
00:50:54,160 --> 00:51:00,560
That's the one dude, one of my
favorite pop songs.

1067
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:08,640
And they don't do it as much.
Anymore was in Castle when they

1068
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,960
would do Welcome home from
Coheed And Cambria.

1069
00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:22,920
I love that song.
You want that?

1070
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:25,160
Yeah, no one wants that.
Do you?

1071
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,840
Want it?
No, I don't.

1072
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,280
Perform.
You arrived in Blacksburg for

1073
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,640
the weekend.
Let's say.

1074
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,080
Let's go back in time.
Let's say this is drips first

1075
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,240
time.
Oh shit, He's been here.

1076
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,680
He's been here, but he's been
here a good amount of times.

1077
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:48,040
We gotta stop giving him.
He has made the I'm headed down

1078
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,400
from Cincinnati or Ohio, where
where?

1079
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,480
It's Cincy, right?
I'm headed down from Cincy.

1080
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,000
What is the you bring someone to
check for the first time?

1081
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,840
You absolutely must go to this
restaurant, this bar, or have

1082
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,400
this.
You gotta go to Tots have a

1083
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,120
rail.
Dude, Yeah.

1084
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,840
Exactly.
Top shelf rail.

1085
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,480
You gotta have it.
You gotta spend the money.

1086
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,440
You gotta get it.
It's the best thing out there.

1087
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,800
Do it pregame.
Like when big game Boomer was in

1088
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,960
town, I brought him here and got
him top shelf rail.

1089
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:15,760
He loved it.
Real quick on economy.

1090
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,920
How much was a rail when
everybody was in school?

1091
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,040
How much is it right now?
It was like 10 bucks, 10.

1092
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,000
Bucks. 9 bucks 9.
Affordable.

1093
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,120
Yeah, yeah.
It's so piggyback on that.

1094
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,880
It's tots and it's a rail.
It's not the top shelf rail.

1095
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,200
It's just a rail.
What is the top shelf rail?

1096
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,320
Is this just like?
It's just.

1097
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,080
Better.
Liquor.

1098
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,680
Liquor.
I.

1099
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:48,040
Don.
You don't need an extra.

1100
00:52:55,080 --> 00:53:04,040
Anything that's crazy, but I
feel like right of passages.

1101
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:11,960
In Virginia Tech.
Does the stable whenever people

1102
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,440
come to town?
I'm trying to give them like a

1103
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:22,120
novel experience.
You're not going to get in.

1104
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,800
Those places, of course I'll
I'll send them to Tabo.

1105
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:41,160
I'll send.
A to and I'm going out and doing

1106
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,040
something.
I'm probably going to go over to

1107
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,720
PK's because I like.
Wait, that Pat.

1108
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,600
Pat, write this down.
We need to put a auction up

1109
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:54,240
where we're auctioning off
weekend with Jeremy and then go

1110
00:53:54,240 --> 00:54:00,480
with Jeremy.
All weekend, terribly.

1111
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,360
That's all.
We will start the bidding.

1112
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:09,920
At We will pay you $20.
If you've never had a slice of

1113
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,800
Benny's pizza in your life,
shout out the sponsor.

1114
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,760
I would go to Benny's to get a
slice of pizza.

1115
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Shut up, Dan.
Anything else that we need to

1116
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Anything else, Turkey?
Leg question used to come out.

1117
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,760
Turkey leg of the game?
Yes or no.

1118
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:31,960
First of all, yes or.
No, I've only ever had it once

1119
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,320
in my life, which is I know it's
crazy.

1120
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,760
It's just hard to eat, honestly.
Like at the stadium like, and

1121
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,240
I'm not a big state of food
guys, I'm a big beer guy, so it

1122
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:44,000
just doesn't factor in.
But it is good.

1123
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,680
Like I do think it's a good,
good food.

1124
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,640
I've never had one.
The Turkey leg is solid.

1125
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,000
So like, I think the big
question on here is like is a

1126
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,720
Turkey leg shareable, right.
Like that's to me, that's the

1127
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,680
big question.
Yeah, You will share a drink

1128
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,440
with someone.
So you will share a Turkey?

1129
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,360
Leg.
And yeah, there's a big

1130
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,240
difference.
I would go ahead and take a sip

1131
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:11,040
out of your.
Meal a lot if you offer me your

1132
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,480
Turkey leg.
I.

1133
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,280
Would be.
Like nature.

1134
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,080
No, there is no way.
I would.

1135
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:25,120
I'd like to Turkey.
That's fine, yes.

1136
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:31,920
That but.
If you will drink for my

1137
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:42,200
beverage, you can eat for my.
Turkey.

1138
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,720
I hope not.
I'm so glad we asked.

1139
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:20,720
This.
Question I do need.

1140
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,120
I do need to do that off the
list this year.

1141
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,400
I've had pizza off the ground.
I've had, you know, recent

1142
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,280
peanut butter cups I've never
had.

1143
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:29,360
Pizza off the ground, but no
Turkey.

1144
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,320
Legs no.
Turkey legs?

1145
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,920
No, that's a big Turkey.
Like, it's almost like a

1146
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:45,080
accessory.
For him.

1147
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:52,520
And that will do it for the
Spring game free analysis.
