Boston College Game Recap

The Hokies left Chestnut Hill with another signature Fuente Era loss after being handled for four quarters by the Boston College Eagles. We examine why the Hokies struggled against a middling BC team and where this dud of a performance ranks among the worst losses of Fuente's tenure.

1
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,600
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,000
I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian Stiegler, buddy.

3
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
We own a Sunday night here.
Got Sunday night football going

4
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,900
on, and we had a little bit of a
rough Friday night.

5
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:09,700
Is that fair to say, little bit
of a rough ride that is debts,

6
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:15,900
fair to say it's more than fair
to say ruff is a nice term to

7
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,000
use for what happened Friday
night.

8
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:24,400
I've seen I've seen shit games
that might have been.

9
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,700
One of the top five were shit
games.

10
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,500
I've ever seen in, man, we've
got a lot to unload tonight.

11
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:37,200
Luckily, we had a full day to
decompress, think about things

12
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,200
and I tell you, for me, if my
fantasy football team will not

13
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,800
absolutely kicking ass today.
Thank you, Justin Herbert.

14
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,800
Hey, thank you for Dale,
Patterson.

15
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:59,100
Thank you between this on Friday
night and these guys, where is

16
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,600
it out here?
San Francisco, just a few hours

17
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,700
ago losing to cult fucking
McCoy.

18
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:13,200
Um, yeah, I'm going to be in a
little rager here, but thank the

19
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,300
fantasy football.
I was bad but you well, my Colts

20
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,200
took care of business on
Thursday night, so I didn't have

21
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,900
to worry too much about the NFL
side of things.

22
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,100
Unfortunately, we all saw at the
Hokies ID on Friday night to

23
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,800
follow it up.
So, you know, we're still

24
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,200
feeling the effects of that one.
And we're going to go over quite

25
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,500
a few things about that game
tonight, fellas.

26
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,300
It was, it was one of those that
From the first drive.

27
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:51,200
It just didn't feel right and it
went downhill from there.

28
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Now, from the first drive, it
didn't feel right at all.

29
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,100
You know, we find out, you know,
that your code is back with

30
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,900
their missing some pieces.
You know, we find out about Tray

31
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:09,500
which we're going to get into
about the press conference and

32
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,700
what Pete Moore said today,
because that's a hot-button

33
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,200
fucking topic right now.
But let's start with the One,

34
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,000
good piece.
He one.

35
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,100
Good piece on the offensive side
of the ball. somehow Rahim and

36
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:31,200
Malachi, both averaged over five
yards, a carry With I think the

37
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,900
entire Boston College team in
the Box.

38
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,500
Yeah, I mean it was bad.
I digitally but once Braxton

39
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,700
went down, they knew we were
running the ball and, you know,

40
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,400
we were still able to more or
less Keep the running game

41
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,200
going, even if it was getting
stifled, once we get into an

42
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
area where, you know, they had
to go up a little bit, we were

43
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,700
still moving the ball, somewhat
effectively on the running game.

44
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:02,000
It just, it wasn't something
that we could go to enough to

45
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,600
get first downs consistently
because of the loaded boxes.

46
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:13,300
It's it's frustrating because if
you had any semblance of a

47
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:17,300
passing game to pair, with what
they've been Doing, you know, we

48
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,200
saw it especially against
Georgia Tech which I know that

49
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,700
still Georgia Tech, but if you
can do anything with the passing

50
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,800
game, you know, this running
game can open up a little bit.

51
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,000
But you know, without that
threat I mean it was, it was

52
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,500
tough going.
It was very outgoing and you

53
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,300
know, only what we only had 12
first downs in the entire game

54
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,200
12.
We had a couple drives where we

55
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,300
had six and eight plays and
we've got 18 and 24 yards, That

56
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:51,900
is pitiful and I tell you total
passing yard was 73.

57
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
But you not tell me Brian.
Was there?

58
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Like the pit of despair of?
We're not waiting another.

59
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:02,100
We might not be do we might not
be view?

60
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,900
Yeah I've officially hit that
when I when I saw what they were

61
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:12,200
doing and I saw what we were
unable to do and I mean, I know

62
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,200
this is Boston College, they
have a good Front six.

63
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Good overall defense.
Yeah.

64
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,200
But they're not Elite by any
stretch of the imagination.

65
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,300
Solid, there's thought, you
know, Miami's probably more

66
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,200
athletic.
Probably less sound.

67
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,300
You know, we're still going to
see two pretty bad defense has

68
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:39,800
coming up with Duke and
especially with UVA it to close

69
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,200
it out.
But if we can't move the ball

70
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,700
effectively, we're going to
struggle in all three of these

71
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,000
contests.
And it was evident especially

72
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,600
once Braxton went down, but it
was evident from the jump, like

73
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,400
we didn't look like without
tray.

74
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,500
We didn't look like we had any
anything that was a threat to

75
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:01,800
them in the passing game.
Yeah.

76
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,200
And that That feeling of
Despair.

77
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,700
I'm sure it was worth every
hokey who's watching a night or

78
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,200
listening over the next few days
here.

79
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:13,900
Three passing yards.
And it literally took almost to

80
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,900
the end of the first half to get
a pass complete in those three,

81
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:18,700
passing yards.
Yes, 33.

82
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,800
And what, what's, what's the old
Bob?

83
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,500
Uecker line from Major League,
what did he say?

84
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,900
What was it?
Which one?

85
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,600
One, one, one.
Yeah, one bleeping.

86
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,100
We got three.
We got three bleep in passing

87
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:44,000
yards.
You know, you know baby gets

88
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,600
banged up, its the ribs, you can
tell it.

89
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,200
We said it earlier in the season
we set it even before the season

90
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,800
started, if he gets hurt, this
team is insignificant trouble.

91
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,800
He's hurting now I don't, I do
not know the time frame, we

92
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,900
won't know the time frame, let's
just be honest.

93
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,100
Yep.
You know we're not going to know

94
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:09,300
anything about BB until we won't
know until 3:30 to 40 minutes

95
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:15,000
before kick-off, when the media
starts reporting of who's out,

96
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,700
throwing the football and
practice in warming up pregame

97
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:24,200
that's when we'll know.
And after, yes, I'd from that,

98
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,100
it's going to be interesting
because We don't.

99
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,400
And we're going to talk about it
more here in a little bit.

100
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:37,200
But it's, it's this so close to
the vest game that this staff

101
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,400
plays to the detriment of
everything, how folks view them,

102
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,400
how folks embrace the program.
I mean, there's just so many

103
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,500
missed opportunities with the,
the pr in the messaging that the

104
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:57,400
fans get.
And it's starting to To take a

105
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:04,000
toll, I think on everybody. it
is, I mean, you know, Not to get

106
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,500
off topic too much of their
sorry.

107
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,700
We'll get there, we'll get there
but it's just you know, the

108
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:13,500
messaging is bad, you know, the
messaging is bad.

109
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,500
But what's worse Braun is.
Okay, so you get an ox, K them

110
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,200
to come in, right?
And we've already mentioned

111
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,700
that, it's not gonna be a good
situation.

112
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
I do think watching knocks throw
the ball.

113
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,000
I think, Knox has a slightly
better armed than Braxton.

114
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,700
He's not he's got a stronger arm
yes'm not near the athleticism.

115
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:37,299
Not Nearly the worry about the
back end, if they're breaks, but

116
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:41,500
that we come in and the first
pass, he completes first of all,

117
00:08:41,508 --> 00:08:45,500
they ran a freaking read option
to the short side for him.

118
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,300
And he realizes, he's four yards
behind.

119
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,000
I think Caleb Smith the slightly
down field.

120
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
He just chucked it over shit.
That's the first pass.

121
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,600
That wasn't a true past.
That was him being a heady

122
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,900
player, getting rid of the ball
with the actual first two

123
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:01,800
passes.
I know this, how to drive you

124
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,300
crazy because your thing all
year with BB has been let's get

125
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:10,700
him easy, throws early, get him
comfortable, you know, let's do

126
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:12,900
this.
Then let's go downfield.

127
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,300
It wasn't one brine.
The first two passes.

128
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:23,600
You're not skating.
Shot shell filled shots that

129
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Kaitlyn tank now take did Miss
play his ball and that's okay

130
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,900
new quarterback.
I'm not going.

131
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,800
I'm dating Robinson was a bright
spot, you know less the fumble

132
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,900
which we'll talk about in a few
minutes but where's the easy

133
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,500
shit?
Where's the where's the easy

134
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,200
hook passes?
Where's the swing?

135
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,900
Where is something that this guy
can see a ball?

136
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:50,700
Get completed?
I don't care if it's at the line

137
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,900
of scrimmage.
Scrimmage or one yard pass.

138
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:58,600
It shows tude, the last time.
He threw a significant snap

139
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:04,000
through significant ball and it
alive contest was the, the pick

140
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,300
So Littleton, why are you not
trying to get this guy

141
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:13,700
comfortable in this situation?
It is, and it's not like we were

142
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:16,900
down twenty one.
Twenty four points?

143
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:21,900
Yeah, it was, essentially a two
possession game where we were

144
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,300
still Within Reach.
We were within reach the whole

145
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:29,000
game, which will get to very
soon that's coming up very soon.

146
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:36,500
Guess what?
Sit there and It shows the

147
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:40,900
ineptitude that the person inch,
I'm just gonna say it right now.

148
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,100
The SOB calling the play.
He is never going to get another

149
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,600
Collegiate coaching job ever
ever.

150
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,400
No one will take him.
I guarantee he's gonna be

151
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,600
scraping for a high school job.
I mean he's definitely not.

152
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,000
I mean give him a D3 job
wouldn't.

153
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:03,900
Now Marty, Marty wouldn't hire,
why did they go Mark Martin,

154
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:07,300
Marty calls the plays be Marty
wouldn't hire me anyway but

155
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:11,400
would make him would make it not
Pedro wouldn't want him, did

156
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:46,000
you?
Every single week, there more

157
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,300
things that happen every single
week.

158
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:52,100
Yeah.
I mean right now not not letting

159
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:55,100
him go is is just kind of
letting him, you know.

160
00:11:55,900 --> 00:12:01,100
Tied it on news here, it's true,
he's hurt.

161
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,300
I mean it's hurting our brand
long-term it's hurting his

162
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:10,300
viability as a head coach
long-term and it's so many

163
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,200
different angles especially on
the offensive side of the ball

164
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,600
that we're just seeing complete
and utter chaos we've been this

165
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,900
year, so, Far fairly well on
third down but it took a big,

166
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:25,800
big collapse this week.
Oh, it was Dreadful.

167
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,900
I mean, 3 of 12.
I mean yeah, we were right at we

168
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,200
were essentially right into
their wheelhouse of what they do

169
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800
on third down as a.
They're solid top 25, 30 defense

170
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,800
in every aspect.
They're not great at one thing,

171
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400
but yeah, it was, it was
absolutely terrible.

172
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,700
What's just it begs the
question.

173
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:46,200
What are they doing there in the
week?

174
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,900
What are they preparing for?
At least the last two weeks we

175
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:54,500
could say, we looked like a
semblance of a team, but, you

176
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:58,200
know, your quarterback goes out
and it's what we talked about.

177
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,900
It's what we talked about.
There's things that you cannot

178
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:06,700
do with Knox.
There's things you can't do with

179
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,800
him and there's things that you
can't make a couple.

180
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,100
So as you've said, Brian
numerous times, would you say

181
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:17,600
about BB?
I mean, BB has been the reason

182
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,500
that our offense is moved, but
also the reason our offense

183
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:25,700
can't get better, He any he puts
a ceiling on the offense but he

184
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,500
also keeps the floor somewhat
high.

185
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,600
And let's not let's not talk
about looking at game on

186
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,300
Saturday night.
With what hooker did?

187
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,500
Yeah, we he had more touchdowns
in the first half than we had

188
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:44,600
yards throwing and we hard Gorge
rowing for.

189
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:51,400
And so it's beginner coming.
Apparently, clear that He was

190
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:57,000
the most talented, and if I
can't tell you what I said, 10

191
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,100
days ago, much less 10 months
ago, understand why he left

192
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:02,500
fucks?
Why I left.

193
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
But it was more of a detriment
to the team and he's went

194
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
somewhere with heiple hypos
always coaches.

195
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,100
Quarterbacks well, always gain.
He is finding a rhythm.

196
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,200
And, you know, pulling the upset
off at Kentucky, they're

197
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,400
probably definitely going to the
Bowl.

198
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,800
The toughest part of their
schedule is, you know I think

199
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,200
they got, they got Georgia left.
Yep.

200
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:29,700
Then it's like maybe I once
often but they've got to to very

201
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:32,900
winnable games but they're gonna
they're gonna blow the doors off

202
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:35,900
and handi-van.
If they go in there and there

203
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:39,600
are five and five and six
they're going to blow the doors

204
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,900
off the Mandy.
There's not even a doubt about

205
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:45,100
that but it's you see how he
passes in the runs especially

206
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,200
the downfield shots.
And we don't we don't have that

207
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,600
at all and you know, I mean,
we'll say it, I mean that

208
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,400
offense is a better offense in
terms of steam and it fits his

209
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,900
skill set very well.
And and the offense here was a

210
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:04,800
fairly good match for his skill
set.

211
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,200
So I mean, it's not so much like
it's great that he's blowing up

212
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,700
there and and I'm glad that he's
doing all that but When we look

213
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,800
at it, if he'd have been here, I
think we would have been we're a

214
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,900
better team with him than we are
without him.

215
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,300
And I think and I think and I
think that's aside from scheme,

216
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:29,800
I know he's in a better
situation in terms of having a

217
00:15:29,808 --> 00:15:32,600
little bit higher caliber
players around him will add it

218
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,700
to the fact you've got better
better scheme overall better

219
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:38,300
better coaching this just say
that better.

220
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:42,800
Yeah Josh heupel is doing more
with the Tennessee recruits that

221
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,400
Pruitt brought in improves
doing.

222
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Yeah, it says a lot about
heiple.

223
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,300
He walked in there.
He figured it out.

224
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,500
He wasn't afraid to make a
quarterback change.

225
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:55,400
I felt like he wasn't calling
the plays.

226
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,000
I think he is calling the plays
now, don't quote me on that, but

227
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,200
he's finding it on the go in how
they competed with Alabama.

228
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,700
Right.
Yeah, they competed with Alabama

229
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:11,000
was a huge sign, and I think in
a few weeks here, I think maybe

230
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
even this week is when it is
when they play Georgia, probably

231
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,500
how they'll compete with
Georgia.

232
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Well, they're probably about two
cycles worth of defensive Talent

233
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,800
away from making making a press
in the East, not saying that

234
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,800
they're going to match Georgia,
but they'll be right there in

235
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,800
the conversation of that next
tier in.

236
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,800
One to two years, if they get
some some more recruits in the

237
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,200
door for that defense.
Abso-freaking-lutely one of the

238
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,800
things was another positive.
We did not break the scoring

239
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,300
streak this week.
Thank you, John.

240
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,200
Parker Romo.
Banging through it by about that

241
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:57,000
much the field goal, you know,
in the second quarter to make it

242
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
a 17-13 game, where again, we
were still In reach and reach in

243
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:07,599
and we were still in reach with
four minutes and 47 seconds left

244
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,599
as well, Curtis oh.
Well, well, let's do this first.

245
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,800
We were on the doorstep to make
it a one touchdown game and tape

246
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,500
on those the ball and that sucks
because that was probably the

247
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:22,099
best Drive of the night that we,
yeah, yeah, three minutes.

248
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:25,500
We had some runs.
We had a downfield, passport,

249
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,700
Avion, making a big play,
another big run, malachite,

250
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,800
again, with the big run, Gallo
with the big catch and we get

251
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,100
there.
It's that inside screen and he

252
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:39,500
got lit up and it was
essentially the back home from

253
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:42,200
behind.
I looked at it.

254
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
It's not like he was loose with
the ball, just perfect, right?

255
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:50,400
Just perfect, there's a perfect
punch and although that killed

256
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,800
defense held up.
We'll talk about them later.

257
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,700
They weren't perfect but they
did have their moments.

258
00:17:56,300 --> 00:18:01,500
But what Brian is talking about
is with 4 minutes and 47 seconds

259
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,900
left.
At.

260
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Our own, what was it, 25 yard
line, 4th and 6?

261
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,600
You don't 14, you got two
timeouts in the bag.

262
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:21,200
If you pump the ball, you
literally need rien out.

263
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:27,500
Score a touchdown in two
minutes, get the onside kick and

264
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:32,800
then use for another touchdown.
Essentially, Justin Fuente, came

265
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:37,300
quitter make quick wit, he
decided even in the Press was, I

266
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:40,300
wanted to give us a chance,
you're down two touchdowns and

267
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,800
it's under five minutes left.
The most, you can extend this

268
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,100
game is too.
Six.

269
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,500
It's six minutes.
You don't have enough time to.

270
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:53,900
So he quit if you were if that
was you know seven-and-a-half

271
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,300
sure that's that's seven a half
minutes left.

272
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,600
That's a logical thing to make
with with under five minutes

273
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,500
left to go in the game that is
malpractice.

274
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:12,500
Now, that is malpractice because
you're essentially folding up

275
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:16,800
shop and saying all right.
Well, I need my defense to give

276
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800
me the ball back and then I've
got to do something.

277
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,900
I haven't done the whole game,
two times.

278
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,200
Yeah I trust you and you're not
going to get the ball back,

279
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,500
you're not not the way.
They were running the ball and

280
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,700
Gala.
We didn't.

281
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:37,800
We didn't get the ball back.
You know, we sit here and it was

282
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,700
just like it was a quick.
It was a surrender cover, it was

283
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,300
a surrender, cover, it was
malpractice, it was negligent.

284
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,800
Yeah, it was something that I
didn't think like this was kind

285
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,100
of a low point for me.
And this is this is classic

286
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:56,400
Fuente though.
When we talk about some of the

287
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,800
weird fourth quarter choices,
some of the, the

288
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,400
conservativeness, when you get a
lead, like, all of this is from

289
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:10,900
the classic Fuente Playbook like
I just don't get being that

290
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:18,200
conservative down two
touchdowns, nope, it just, it

291
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,400
baffles me.
It was one of the most

292
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,200
head-scratching decisions that
Fuente is made in his entire

293
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,800
time at Virginia Tech and he's
made some big ones, also nothing

294
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,700
but this one did it just It
didn't make sense.

295
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,600
It was pretty much saying, guys
we're done.

296
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,700
We're done, we're done.
We're not playing any more with

297
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,600
less than with just under five
minutes left.

298
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000
He said, now we're good.
We're cooked.

299
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,200
We're we, he said to the team
essentially on both sides of the

300
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,200
ball.
We can't win this game.

301
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,500
Y'all are not good enough to win
this game.

302
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,000
I am not good enough to win this
game.

303
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,700
That's what it was.
That's exactly what it was.

304
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:09,600
It's irritating because in that
situation, you have nothing to

305
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,800
lose.
If you go forward and you miss

306
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,000
it, the probabilities was
probably about eight to ten

307
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,800
percent, you could do it.
So very, very small that you

308
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,300
could actually pull and tie the
game back up.

309
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,800
Yep.
So well, the thing is that if

310
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,900
you end up Driving the field and
you get a touchdown there.

311
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,100
You haven't wasted the clock of
kicking the ball, back to him.

312
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,600
You haven't wasted your time
out.

313
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,100
So you can still have two
timeouts by the time you go for

314
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,900
your onside kick and if you
don't get the onside kick, you

315
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,800
can still have a chance to get
the ball back, and we'll tie it

316
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,700
up true.
Once you kick that there, at

317
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:52,500
least running what a minute, two
minutes off that their least

318
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:56,100
running two minutes off that,
but even if you don't even if

319
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:00,000
you kicking you hold perfectly,
It which we have seen already

320
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,500
probably wasn't going to happen,
even if you stop them, and burn

321
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:10,300
two timeouts.
Ten seconds for the kick. 10

322
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,100
seconds per playwright give or
take sure.

323
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:15,900
Yeah four minutes and 15 seconds
on the clock.

324
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,400
They're going to punch you way
back in your end zone.

325
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:24,900
Again, likely and now well, now
you've got a score and you don't

326
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:27,500
have the ability.
If you throw a pass on the

327
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:31,100
middle of the field and you get
a first down and you can't get

328
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:34,100
everybody down, you don't have
the ability to control you.

329
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:37,100
Just you're, you're either
wasting the down with the spike

330
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:40,900
or you're having a call to play
fast and Waste the time getting

331
00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:44,300
lined up in a new formation
lacing, time getting the play

332
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:49,600
in, all that all of that, fun
stuff, all of that fun stuff.

333
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,000
So we go to they they run on
place, they win the game.

334
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:58,400
All right, so the press
conference comes Brian, we had

335
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,600
gotten when the tree was going
to be out, right?

336
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,100
We got win it.
It was Monday night, Monday

337
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:11,000
night, when we didn't talk.
About it because we got it for

338
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
me, a source that were not.
It is what it is, right?

339
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,300
And but we got it from someone,
he's probably not going to play.

340
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:21,800
Okay, that's fine.
You know about this early in the

341
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,000
week.
You probably knew about it

342
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,300
Sunday.
You probably knew about it.

343
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:30,400
Saturday, you can game plan for
what to do in that case.

344
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:37,700
Well, I saw it on David cutting
hands, tweet it was, we didn't

345
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,600
know right up until game time
that.

346
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,000
That Trey wasn't going to play.
What?

347
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,900
Yeah, I've been in this
discussion most of the day.

348
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:55,300
Oh yes, you had big time.
It's it hasn't been a fun

349
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:59,400
discussion because so to me it's
two angles here either this is

350
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,100
Foo playing injury information
so close to the damn vest that

351
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:11,900
he's lying to cover.
Shia, he's covered or he is so

352
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:16,500
like, I don't believe that there
is this level of ineptitude that

353
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,600
he didn't know the status of
trays injury.

354
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:24,000
I think this is him trying to be
so close to the With injury

355
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,100
information that he's
fabricating information to the

356
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:30,000
meat.
Yes, whether purposefully or

357
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,300
inadvertently and it really
doesn't matter because it's

358
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:39,700
malpractice either way.
Because I don't believe at all

359
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:41,800
that.
The head coach did not know the

360
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,500
status of the injury to his star
receiver, the number one

361
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,400
throughout the week.
Yeah, I don't believe that

362
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,200
whatsoever.
That that would not be the case.

363
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:59,600
There's a ton of things.
We heard Whispers, you know, did

364
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,900
it didn't affect your decision,
it really didn't affect my

365
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,700
decision in our predictions.
I know some people are like

366
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:08,200
coming out and saying Saying,
all you knew this information?

367
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,000
Okay, listen, the know about
Djokovic.

368
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,300
Brian talked about that.
We had a wind of tray, you don't

369
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:17,500
mention it because if somebody
tells you something and they

370
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:21,700
trust you, you don't mention it.
It hadn't reached official

371
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:24,600
channel, so I, we weren't going
to talk about it on here.

372
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,300
We see until it reaches official
channels.

373
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,100
We don't play that game, okay?
Not at all.

374
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,900
We're not, we're not going to
sit on here and, and feed you

375
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,200
hearsay and shit like that.
I mean, damn right.

376
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,400
We are we might know something
but until it's official in our

377
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,700
mind, we're keeping it off the
air.

378
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:46,600
Yes, we are.
Alright, so that was said some

379
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:52,700
the Lash back happened with
trays Mom, I'm You by Wednesday

380
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,900
that I wasn't, what is it?
She basically she, you win state

381
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:57,700
was absolutely.
He was not going to play.

382
00:25:57,900 --> 00:25:59,600
She canceled her plane ticket to
Boston.

383
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,900
Cancelled hotel reservation.
She was implying.

384
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,200
Whoa, we got wind of it.
His mom, you win state.

385
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,600
She's making all her
cancellation, she's not flying

386
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,200
up the Boston because Trey's not
going to be there makes perfect

387
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800
sense, but the head coach at
Virginia Tech football.

388
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,400
Team.
Did not know that his number

389
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,000
one, star receiver.
I call bullshit.

390
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:21,700
I think he was trying his
excuse, we know about it.

391
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,700
So close to game.
So we don't know how to really

392
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:25,500
play.
That's why we look like trash.

393
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,700
No.
You look like trash because

394
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,500
you're offensive coordinator and
certain guys on that cell Baltar

395
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,700
trash and you're trying to
protect them and you're making

396
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:37,300
yourself look like an ass.
Now.

397
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:43,200
Brian, I hope you got this.
Get the Tweet up. if you a

398
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:50,600
little reading, which one Forest
week from today, Okay.

399
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,900
What will Stewart at ESL?
Because all right.

400
00:26:55,900 --> 00:27:00,200
So Pete Morris, please let me
clarify a few items.

401
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:04,000
The medical staff and coaches
are in constant communication.

402
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,900
Every injury is different game.
Availability, may not be

403
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:11,600
determined until later in the
week in many instances player.

404
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Safety kancare is always a top
priority.

405
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,100
That's great Pete.
But you didn't give us any new

406
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:24,400
information there.
Everything you just said, is

407
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,500
something that in my mind I had
already assumed was the case.

408
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,500
Yeah, you didn't answer the
question.

409
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:33,100
The question is, why did the
head coach?

410
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,900
State in a press conference that
they didn't know that Trey was

411
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:42,800
going to miss this game till
very late in the process when

412
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:46,200
his mom knew for certain on
Wednesday.

413
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,600
And other people knew as early
as Monday that it was a good

414
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,500
probability that he wasn't
playing.

415
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:58,600
So what is it?
Is it the medical staff not

416
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,900
reporting injuries to the coach.
Is it the coached lying?

417
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:05,400
Well, I'll pee did was throw
gasoline on this thing because

418
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,000
all because he came out there
with.

419
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,900
And I mean, I'll say it's just
that like classic generic PR

420
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:15,200
bullshit that did nothing to add
to the conversation.

421
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,000
It merely pointed out
information that most fans had

422
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,800
already assumed it.
Pissed us off.

423
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,200
If you want more than me, I had
something.

424
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,300
He's going on here today.
Some errands running and you

425
00:28:27,308 --> 00:28:32,400
were lighting it up, but it when
I read it is like, no, the

426
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,800
question is, why why did he not
know?

427
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,900
And the wise are either a he's
lying.

428
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,100
Or be somebody truly didn't tell
him and I really find that hard

429
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,900
to believe.
I find that hard to believe.

430
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:54,800
I find it hard to believe that
he did not know he was going to

431
00:28:54,808 --> 00:28:59,000
be there all on him, all on him
100%.

432
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:06,000
And You Know, It's Just So
that's the offense.

433
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,200
That's the fire.
That was a lot of fun.

434
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:14,500
But let's go over to the
defensive side of the ball.

435
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,800
Siglo over here, set it on
Wednesday night.

436
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,600
There were some Whispers That
there was a chance your coat.

437
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,000
It could be that You didn't say
definitively.

438
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,700
He's going to be back.
You just said you had read in an

439
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,400
article.
I don't know where it was

440
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,200
published.
I saw someone that was

441
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,500
affiliated with BC tweeting that
jerk.

442
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:40,200
Oh, Vic had been seen throwing
at practice?

443
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,900
Hey, he saw someone tweet this.
So it wasn't, like, we got this

444
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:45,500
behind the scenes and we held
it.

445
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:48,000
He said this on Wednesday night
because of that, tweet, from

446
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,600
someone associated with the
program, And then on Friday,

447
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,500
just a few hours for game time
till Djokovic will be starting

448
00:29:55,500 --> 00:30:00,100
tonight and is their offense, a
lot different between your

449
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:04,900
kovacic Rosell or Alexander.
No.

450
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:12,100
I mean I mean they really I mean
obviously Moorhead can, yeah,

451
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:14,200
you're good.
Moorhead has a little bit more

452
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:21,000
of a of an arm than Rosell but
and obviously Phil we saw was a

453
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,800
little bit.
Still a little bit limited with

454
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,500
what he could do with his arm
right now.

455
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:29,300
Sure probably a grip thing and
not being able to rip it like he

456
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:34,000
wants to and just general rust
from not playing for what?

457
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,300
Been weeks, six weeks, six
weeks?

458
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:40,900
Yeah, six weeks.
So the combination of those two

459
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:43,100
things are probably what's what
held him back.

460
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,500
But I mean, they were still
running the full complement of

461
00:30:45,508 --> 00:30:50,800
their offense, you know what the
wrinkle the mean wrinkle of him

462
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,600
on the read option.
It baffled us.

463
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:58,500
And I mean men, he went 70
yards.

464
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,500
You know, unlike nine carries
over seven yards a carry

465
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:05,800
including that one play where we
had him dead to rights about 12

466
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:11,100
yards in the backfield.
He avoids not one but two

467
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,000
potential sacks and gets up the
field for a 10-plus yard game.

468
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:21,400
Yeah and and if you ask me and
this is me this offense wasn't

469
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,800
going to change whoever was out
there.

470
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:27,700
But if you put it on a scale of
1 to 100, even an injured, your

471
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:33,200
kovich is probably somewhere
between and 80 and 90 versus

472
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,100
we're gonna sell and Moorhead
will be below that.

473
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,200
Humor, 8 full, we've seen them
compete with some of the better

474
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,300
teams.
Yeah.

475
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,900
And I think the thing that we
can see was missing, he wasn't

476
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:49,700
able to rip it.
Like he normally is and like I

477
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,600
said, I think that's probably
due to not being able to get at

478
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,100
least feel comfortable with the
grippy at, on the football.

479
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,400
And like I said, probably just
still knocking off some Rust

480
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200
with the timing and everything
with his receivers, but there

481
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,800
definitely wasn't the zip on the
ball when he was throwing it

482
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:05,600
down the field.
Like we're used to still, was

483
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,000
better than good.
Get down the field then gross L

484
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,500
had been on the whole the last
six weeks but you probably

485
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:17,000
probably lost a little bit in
terms of arm strength, compared

486
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
to what you have got with
Moorhead, but you probably roll

487
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,200
with the more seasoned player at
that point.

488
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,500
So that's probably why they went
that direction.

489
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,800
And I know they kind of left it
up to him and sounds like

490
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,400
whether he felt comfortable
going, he went in there and said

491
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,600
he wanted to play so they played
him and you know, he didn't have

492
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,200
his best game throwing the ball
but he Me too especially way

493
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,300
they were running the ball with
Garwin the way they were using

494
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:44,400
that read-option with him and
taking advantage of a lot of

495
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,300
missed tackles by our defensive
front six.

496
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,900
Yeah.
And you talk about the arm

497
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:51,200
strength and you think about,
let's think about two of the big

498
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,900
plays that early in the game.
It gave me the feeling that, you

499
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:56,500
know, we're not going to win
this game.

500
00:32:56,500 --> 00:33:01,100
It's just you have those breaks.
Let's talk about Dorian strong,

501
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,300
he rolled out, and he tried to
throw the ball, and he's short

502
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,200
of the ball and Dorian just
picked it.

503
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:09,000
And Dorian's running trying to
find a lane to get up and give

504
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Djokovic credit, he came back
down, field bump the ball loose.

505
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,700
And they recover.
And you just sign.

506
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:21,300
I sat there and said they had a
good drive.

507
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:25,200
Going.
Try to roll pocket, throw you

508
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,300
left it.
A little short, young guy came

509
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,200
up, picked it.
And there are some people on the

510
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
timeline, there were screaming
like when I saw him running

511
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,200
around like that looking for
something I was just screaming.

512
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,300
Go down, go down.
There's nothing there he didn't

513
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:44,200
they fumble?
They score off that with

514
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,500
actually a jerk covid run.
Yeah.

515
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:52,400
And if that wasn't bad enough I
feel like that the next one was

516
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,900
even worse.
Because how many times do you

517
00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:57,900
see that happen?
Yeah I mean daily comes in makes

518
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:01,100
a good pass defense.
Probably could have knocked it

519
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,900
towards the ground a little bit
more but bang-bang play.

520
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:08,699
Their tipped is like eight yards
back like what?

521
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:14,800
Like yeah like eight or nine
yards back and you know winner

522
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,900
gets the the reception there
ends up.

523
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Being a first down, you know,
you think you're potentially

524
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,699
getting off the field again and
then all of a sudden you're

525
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:26,300
looking at another first down
for the other team and those are

526
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:27,600
two.
That's the to play those like

527
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600
the are this this unit snake
been denied that they can't do

528
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,699
anything, right?
Even when they do right, they do

529
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:36,500
wrong.
And then on that one to Winter,

530
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,500
he doesn't even catch it and get
the first down.

531
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:44,800
He's a yard short, they plow
over the defensive line Djokovic

532
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,199
does on sneak easy first down.
Down what?

533
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:51,199
You know, how do you feel?
How does secondary field?

534
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:54,300
Ryan, how does a secondary have
to feel when they we've got to

535
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,500
pick.
We stopped them on Third and

536
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:59,500
long with a great pasta flexion.
And they essentially got 10

537
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:01,200
points out of it.
Yeah.

538
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,900
Hi, like how do you even stay in
the mindset?

539
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:09,800
That How do you even stay in the
game after that happens in the

540
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:15,000
first 20 minutes of it?
Yeah, is definitely

541
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,700
disheartening the fact that they
kept coming back and you know

542
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:26,600
still hell the pass game more or
less in check for most of the

543
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,900
game.
Yeah, they weren't able to do a

544
00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:32,500
ton down the field even when
they took shots, obviously they

545
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:35,000
were purposefully leaning on
their running game.

546
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,300
Most of the time, especially
once they got that big early

547
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:44,100
lead, but You know, it was kind
of it was kind of hard that even

548
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,800
when they were making plays, you
know, they've it's still ended

549
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,800
up working out for the offense,
so that was frustrating early on

550
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,500
and I think some of that
frustration carried over.

551
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,400
But, you know, when we look at
the running game, that's where

552
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,900
that's where things started to
fall apart for the defense

553
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,800
d-line, and linebackers were
getting kind of pushed around by

554
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,900
that offensive line Lindstrom
was a wasn't Animal inside their

555
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:21,500
get into this second level on
Dax, most of the night, it was

556
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,700
wasn't pretty dead Dax and
Tisdale were finding themselves

557
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:29,900
out of position a lot.
It kind of see it was more of

558
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:33,700
that 2020 style.
Shit rearing its head.

559
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,600
Here you go.
It looked as close to 2020

560
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:44,000
defense as I've seen.
Seen this year and that was

561
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,400
disheartening and it's not that
they went out there and they

562
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,200
gave up a ton of points.
The they're still doing a freely

563
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,000
and fairly decent job of bending
and not breaking, but you got to

564
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,700
get a team like that off the
field more than you did you.

565
00:36:57,700 --> 00:36:59,800
Absolutely.
And that's the problem is, that

566
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,200
they extended so many drives.
There were so many 10 and 12,

567
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,800
Play drives, and then just
methodically, moving the ball

568
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:12,400
down, field it, and then you
can't do that when A thin team

569
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,700
especially up front and I mean
you're going to wear yourself

570
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:16,900
down so fast and that's what
happened.

571
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:21,800
I know.
And you know Garland over 130

572
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,700
carries he looked like he was
like under force.

573
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:29,000
It was the second worst yards
per carry production game since

574
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,100
Temple, but he still went over
100.

575
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:36,500
They went to 34 is a teams.
The sad part is for us.

576
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:39,600
At least it's the this was the
death by a Thousand Cuts that

577
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,600
you always talk about.
They had no gains over 20.

578
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:47,900
No running gains over 20 yards.
But you know what they had and

579
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:49,700
you already mentioned it kind of
talking about.

580
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:53,200
They just kept leaning and just
kept long extending Drive. 22

581
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:59,600
first downs. 22 in 50% on third
down and fourth down.

582
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,300
So you know every other time we
had a chance to get him off the

583
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:06,300
field, we couldn't they extended
the drives.

584
00:38:06,700 --> 00:38:10,500
So in one sense you get pissed
the defense like damn you guys.

585
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:14,100
Why don't you make that 25%?
On the other hand, you say got

586
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:19,500
them off the field, a lot and
they did keep us in this game

587
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:23,100
because they didn't give up big
plays because even though they

588
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,100
were missing tackles and it was
ugly at times, they were still

589
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,600
stopping drives at times if the
defensive magic imagine if You

590
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:36,300
played sound like a god, like a
seven to three games.

591
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,700
Yeah, it would have been an ugly
ugly.

592
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:41,800
Matt, Bevin we played sound
defense by the took the over

593
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,500
would have just like, went out
back and just hang their head

594
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:47,700
against trees.
Like, why did I take over

595
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:49,200
against these Duty?
Yeah.

596
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,000
And and everything we saw on
defense, there was nothing

597
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,700
egregiously bad.
It was just consistently not

598
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:58,300
enough to get off the field.
Yeah.

599
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,300
And I think That goes back.
I mean, some of that's by Design

600
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:05,600
with this Bend, don't break
style but that's where Bend

601
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,300
don't break style in a game,
like this comes back to bite

602
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:11,200
you, right?
But because because you're

603
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,800
killing your killing the, the
the time of possession you're

604
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,000
getting killing time of
possession, and then your

605
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,800
offense can't do anything with
it.

606
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:23,300
It's true, but a lot of the
times Brian, it was the missed

607
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:27,700
tackles that were happening.
You know, instead of being the

608
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,200
three are gain, it was the five.
Yeah.

609
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,400
Instead of you will only have
six tackles for loss no sax.

610
00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:36,700
Instead of being the tackle for
loss and putting them at second

611
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:40,200
and 12 second, 11.
They'd get it back to the line

612
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,500
of scrimmage or one or two more
yards, and that's the ones we've

613
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:44,800
talked about it.
Several times up.

614
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,100
That's the frustrating piece.
It's, because it's the momentum,

615
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:51,100
right?
Because you imagine those guys

616
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:53,500
coming off after they go out.
I listen.

617
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:57,000
Hey, keep running hard.
They had you for a six yard

618
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,600
loss.
You made it a one-yard gain.

619
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:01,300
They had you for a sack and you
got the ball away.

620
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,200
It mentality.
Its momentum.

621
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:07,900
It's being able to walk to the
sideline and saying you're this

622
00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:09,800
close.
You keep pressing instead of

623
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,900
being a zero yard gain, you're
going to get five and that's

624
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,200
what they did.
And they kept pounding and kept

625
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,300
pounding on us until eventually,
you know, at the end be set on

626
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:22,700
the ball for the 447, they took
it out, they won the game.

627
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,900
I want to, I want to what I want
to address before we go to break

628
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:32,200
here.
Brian, the Dax incident That's

629
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,100
got a personal foul penalty
later on Djokovic, borderline,

630
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:40,300
whatever.
And then He essentially shove

631
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:43,800
Jeff Heffley.
This is my view on that.

632
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,300
If he does not shove Jeff
Heffley, he would have fucking

633
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:51,000
ran Jeff haffley over in
probably seriously fucking

634
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,500
injured him.
So there were people for janya

635
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,200
tech fans on the timeline.
Saying, what kind of shit is

636
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,400
this?
This is garbage.

637
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,400
This is the type of player coach
Know, believe it or not, him

638
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:06,400
shoving him down to the ground.
Probably seriously.

639
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:10,400
Help halfling.
Not get fucking killed by

640
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,300
240-pound linebacker, fully
padded.

641
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,200
My opinion.
I don't know how you feel on the

642
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,400
incident Brian, but I think how
backs what he did was right?

643
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:23,900
Not, if you really want to hurt
haffley, he could have just kept

644
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:27,200
running.
I don't think there was intent

645
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,700
in what he did in terms of
trying to trying to shove him,

646
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:33,000
out of the way, out of
frustration.

647
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,600
I think it was just, he's there.
Let me get this guy to the way

648
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:44,100
as I'm running through.
But if you combine it at the

649
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:47,300
time and I get where the were
the knee-jerk reaction comes

650
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:51,100
from because you got to play
that probably wasn't the

651
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:54,300
smartest play, by him anyway, he
should have been aware of where

652
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:57,300
he was on the field.
Not carried, carry through the

653
00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:01,600
tackle and took him to the
ground with the push.

654
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:09,300
So that's It wasn't quite the
bang-bang play there, and then

655
00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:13,400
you add that that action after,
after that happens.

656
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:15,900
You get why the knee-jerk
happened?

657
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,300
The knee-jerk reaction on that.
I think it's Much Ado About

658
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:23,500
Nothing or at least not.
Not anything worth dwelling on

659
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,000
it.
Kind of is what it is.

660
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:33,100
The play that hurt us was the
play of the of the tackle

661
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:34,800
itself.
Not anything had happened

662
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,900
extracurricular.
There we go.

663
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,000
So we'll put that one to bed and
again if you were under a rock

664
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:48,300
for the last 48 hours or so look
he's end up losing 2:43 up in

665
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:52,900
Boston during the red bandana
game, and Brian what we'll do.

666
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:57,000
Now before we get into a couple
other things here tonight, we

667
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,700
are going to take a quick pause

676
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:30,500
Now back to the episode All
right, and we are back.

677
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:35,500
So earlier today, me and Brian
put our heads together and said,

678
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:39,800
we need to throw this out here
because what CH loss is worse of

679
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,700
the last three seasons.
Is it Duke in 2019?

680
00:43:44,900 --> 00:43:51,000
Is it the pit game 4714 of 2020?
Or is it this game?

681
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:55,900
And we put a pole out here in
almost 400 of you guys have

682
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,100
responded.
We really appreciate that and

683
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:06,500
brought on drumroll, please.
The winner is 2019, Juke

684
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:11,500
carrying 68% of the vote.
Second place at 29%, I think

685
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:15,100
carrying maybe a little more me
and you were surprised was the

686
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:19,700
BC game from Friday at 29%.
And then last but not least with

687
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:23,000
a handful of boats is the pit
2020 game.

688
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,500
Yep.
Now go ahead run.

689
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,300
I was going to say we did have a
couple other right ends.

690
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:34,700
The other one that was probably
the strongest was ODU from from

691
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:39,000
2018 ODU and pit from 2018,
several of those.

692
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,100
But I just wanted to go through
some of the comments here and

693
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:43,200
let's just talk about some of
our listeners will give you a

694
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,700
shout outs out there.
Let's start with our boy tally.

695
00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:50,800
He said BC, and he said, because
we had zero highlights.

696
00:44:50,900 --> 00:44:54,600
It is true, we had no real
highlights in this game,

697
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:58,200
everything bad.
Other than Peter, more kicking

698
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,300
the ball.
Three yards at halftime just

699
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:05,700
enough said, I boy James Ambrose
hits up all of the above

700
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:09,200
inferior opponent and Duke pit
was missing talent.

701
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,900
That game BC was just this was a
coaching Miss.

702
00:45:13,700 --> 00:45:17,300
Here's one of the 2018 pit James
Copeland God we chat with Cajun

703
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:22,500
Ali.
He put 18 jute or 18 pit as the

704
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:28,000
worst But on here was Duke 19
and he said that was when the

705
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,500
nation saw through wasn't it,
dip a couple more we're going to

706
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:36,900
keep going, just and then we'll
give our complete thoughts on

707
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,500
this because you guys make, I
won't give credit.

708
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,000
It wasn't most of you guys
didn't.

709
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,300
Just put the game and then leave
it.

710
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:48,000
You put your reasonings behind
it and I love when people give

711
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,600
their opinion in their thoughts.
So I'm going to read a couple

712
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,600
more brown eyes.
I'm already quite a few more

713
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,900
because you guys did awesome
tonight.

714
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,500
GJ p v t0 9:00 after the
debacle, 2018, food needed a new

715
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:07,900
start in 2019, he did not get
it, he did not get it after the

716
00:46:07,900 --> 00:46:12,900
shit show, that happened in
Chestnut Hill and then the ODU

717
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:16,300
game and then the close call
with ermine do game with the

718
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:19,500
beginning of the end.
He turned the tide midseason but

719
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,900
we closed out on a sour note.
Yep.

720
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,400
Jake Lamb 2019, because cooker
would have been number one in

721
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,400
Camp.
Dixon Mills hits, ODU, 2019.

722
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,200
I said, I think you meant 18.
He did say that was it, but 2019

723
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,200
was the precursor for the Duke
game because the Furman and the

724
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,700
ODU game watching those two.
What happened to Duke was not a

725
00:46:43,707 --> 00:46:46,000
surprise to a lot of people.
Yeah.

726
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,100
We'll keep going here.
My buddy Pete, the over too.

727
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:53,600
Deep Duke was the Duke was the
worst because the worst home

728
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,400
loss and it was a bad Duke team
and CJ from VA.

729
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,700
This was the one you were
talking about Brian none.

730
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:03,500
It's ODU.
We were ranked in the top 15.

731
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:06,300
They were owing three.
They had lost to bad team.

732
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:07,900
They finished four and eight.
We were there.

733
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:11,200
Last, we were there first to
four wins at season.

734
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:15,600
You had been downhill since then
and I think everything is right

735
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,600
there.
I will Count the value of the

736
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,300
ranking because we should have
been ranked at that point in the

737
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:25,100
season.
It was it was totally still

738
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:29,300
based off of the strength of the
Phantom FSU win.

739
00:47:29,900 --> 00:47:34,400
But everything else you said was
spot on there and it definitely

740
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,500
looked worse because the fact
that we were ranked, obviously,

741
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:40,300
that that heard in terms of
perception, even though the

742
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:44,700
perception was a little bit of a
facade, you want to give your

743
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:46,200
take first.
You want me to lead on this?

744
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,800
Well, let's let's before we give
our take on what we feel.

745
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,500
Is the words.
Let's go with the other two

746
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,300
because believe it or not.
Of the one we agree with me and

747
00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:57,500
Brian agreed.
On the same one.

748
00:47:57,900 --> 00:48:02,200
Let's start with the, with the
furthest back almost over two

749
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,700
years ago, the Duke 20 Nightwing
loss.

750
00:48:07,300 --> 00:48:10,000
We had hope right Brown.
Even after that loss, there was

751
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,900
hope.
We brought Jerry Keeling.

752
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:21,100
We had Quincy and we had hindon
to force for quarterbacks both

753
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:26,200
highly ranked in the wings.
They were there, we had a good

754
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,100
Core group of players right
after 2018, those guys were

755
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:35,700
going up like yeah, it was like
it was shitty, but you feel like

756
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:41,100
things could change and then You
felt like there was at least a

757
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:43,600
pivot.
There was at least something to

758
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,900
Pivot to even if that pivot
didn't work.

759
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:49,200
There was something there right?
Yeah.

760
00:48:50,300 --> 00:48:56,100
There was something there and
it's the Shawshank Redemption on

761
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:57,700
right Ron.
Yep.

762
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,900
Hope it's a good thing.
It's the dangerous thing and it

763
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:07,400
was dangerous for this fan base
because what happened between

764
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,900
the Miami game and even the bowl
game, you felt like okay this

765
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:13,800
might be on back on the right
track.

766
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,000
Yes, we lost a Notre Dame.
Yeah we lost you vo the first

767
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:25,200
time since we were like 20 that
they done that but it still felt

768
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,300
like hope because with the UVA
game, they needed Perkins to

769
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:31,000
play.
Literally the game of uva's,

770
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:34,000
entire football, history, to win
that game.

771
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,300
And then the Kentucky game, The
game Friday night.

772
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,900
I'll just say it.
I can't I didn't vote for that

773
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:48,500
one.
And I didn't vote for do 2019,

774
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:50,300
because I felt like Friday
night, Brian.

775
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:58,100
It's over It's over.
Yeah, it's going to be very hard

776
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:02,400
for them to come back from that
because that was as flat of a

777
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,900
performance, especially on the
offensive side as, as we've

778
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:10,300
seen.
And in terms of just output in

779
00:50:10,300 --> 00:50:13,000
general, as bad as we've seen, I
mean, there's been other games

780
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,400
where our offense hasn't done
well, but, you know, we're

781
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:21,900
talking about a hurricane game
or shit like that, not not

782
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,800
Perfect.
Fall conditions, in Chestnut

783
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:32,500
Hill 40 degrees risk all night
and that happened, you know,

784
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:34,800
it's over that.
I think that's the general

785
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,700
consensus.
That's it's coming down.

786
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:42,500
How quick it happens.
I think that's that's to be

787
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:45,500
determined.
I said it based on, just the

788
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:49,700
performance and then the post
game stuff.

789
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:53,000
I didn't think you should have
made it to the MonDay, presser

790
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,900
and we'll see.
Obviously, it seems like he

791
00:50:54,900 --> 00:51:02,000
will.
It's it'sit's just so it'sit's

792
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,900
laughable.
At this point, it is getting to

793
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:06,800
the point that apathy is said
in, in the fan base, the fan

794
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,100
base is done and I'm sad because
I hope so.

795
00:51:10,300 --> 00:51:13,200
Still show up for the Duke game
because the seniors deserve it.

796
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,000
The players in general deserve,
it seniors are developing guys

797
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,500
deserve.
They've been playing, they've

798
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:25,200
been playing their ass off, man.
In they've been let down by

799
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,900
their staff.
They've been let down by the

800
00:51:28,900 --> 00:51:32,600
program in general.
And I hope that we are able to

801
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:37,200
make the right decision to move
on because the players deserve

802
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,100
it, the players deserve to when
they go out there and lay some

803
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:45,200
I'm up that they're going to
have the best chance they can of

804
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,900
coming away with a victory and I
feel like that's that hasn't

805
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:52,400
been the case for at least two
years now, if not longer.

806
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,700
You know, I think as we've
talked about a little bit with

807
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,700
with this, you know, we felt
like Jerry kill helped out in

808
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:06,200
2019 and there was hope that
that would carry over after he

809
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,100
left and it absolutely has not
well what happened last night?

810
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,700
Not think what we felt happened
after 2019, we saw those things

811
00:52:13,700 --> 00:52:16,600
in place and I think you talked
about carryover you felt like

812
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,900
there will be new things
implemented.

813
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,700
Things will be done differently
in.

814
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:24,900
It looks like it was going to be
that way.

815
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,100
It shows that the ever so
lessons learned from Jerry kill

816
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:31,000
there was no Lessons Learned.
There were, no, the lessons were

817
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,100
learned put into practice when
they needed it, and then

818
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:36,700
immediately reverted back,
right?

819
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,600
It's like, you know, it's like
punishing your child for doing

820
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:47,100
something.
And taking a toy away and then

821
00:52:47,900 --> 00:52:51,800
giving that toy back and then
the then the same behavior

822
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,600
happens again and you're just
like, and that's what's

823
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,900
happened.
They were shown what they were

824
00:52:57,900 --> 00:53:01,300
doing wrong, they were
corrected, he was out of bounds

825
00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:03,700
by the way, I don't, you know, I
don't know what they've ruled.

826
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,800
I can't hear it.
He stepped out of bounds and he

827
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,200
was the first guy to touch the
ball, he was not forced out.

828
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,700
It looks like that's for me
because I have Higby on my

829
00:53:12,700 --> 00:53:18,300
fantasy team.
All right.

830
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:24,800
So obviously we've talked BC
2021, we are the three

831
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,800
percenters.
Yeah, we're the three

832
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,800
percentage.
Yeah, it sounds like some sort

833
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:38,400
of group for those, if you're
listening, if you voted for pit.

834
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,800
DMS or plowing the chain.
Because literally out of about

835
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,200
400 votes.
When it's like three person.

836
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,700
It's literally like six or seven
of us and it's me and Brian were

837
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:51,000
talking throughout the day in
just four.

838
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,700
We jumped on here tonight.
Why was pit so bad?

839
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,400
Pit was bad because they were
missing the large majority of

840
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,300
their all-conference caliber
players.

841
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:14,400
We came into that game in a
winnable batch up and just got

842
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,300
the dog shit.
Beat out of us, we were more or

843
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:19,500
less.
It was one of the times of the

844
00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:23,100
year where we were more or less
healthy going into that game

845
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:29,700
last year mostly full complement
of weapons and we did nothing

846
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:34,000
and we let them run up and down
the field on us let them throw

847
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,600
up and down the field on us and
we had nothing to respond with

848
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,700
on offense.
It's we did nothing.

849
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:44,300
He looked terrible.
We looked uninterested

850
00:54:44,300 --> 00:54:47,700
especially on offense,
especially with the defense.

851
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:50,200
Remember the first half of that
game defense played good.

852
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,300
We were kept us in it and then
the wheels fell off in the

853
00:54:54,308 --> 00:54:58,200
second half.
This is why I chose that game.

854
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:01,600
If you remember guys, last year
Liberty?

855
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,200
I was out firing.
This was the game that push

856
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:09,000
Braun over the edge and that's
when Whispers started of he's

857
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,900
going to be gone, he's going to
be gone and that's why this game

858
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:16,800
to me.
I voted for because it was we

859
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,500
thought after that game it's
over.

860
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:24,300
We're going to get a whole new
regime, you know, we're going

861
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:29,700
to, you know, probably get some
more We're going to get some

862
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:35,000
more working, probably some more
funding that our assistance will

863
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,300
recruiting staff.
And when the press conference,

864
00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:40,700
with what happened after you V8,
and it didn't happen.

865
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,500
I revert back to this game and I
said that was it that they were

866
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:47,300
missing.
So many players, we coach so

867
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:50,400
bad, we played so bad.
That's the coach.

868
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,500
This is the issue and you rip
the rug out from us.

869
00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:59,200
And 2018 pit.
Yeah, that was really bad, but

870
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,600
after what we'd seen early in
that season, it was expected to

871
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,000
happen.
Yeah.

872
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,500
That didn't shock me as much.
I mean, we were a very young

873
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:08,800
team.
We just lost a lot of our core

874
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,400
players from the previous
season.

875
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:15,500
It was a bad loss because that
bet pit team was not as good as

876
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:19,600
the 2020 B team, but the 2020
pit team was missing more of the

877
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,100
players that counted in that
game than the 2018.

878
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:25,500
So and it was also we was all
set.

879
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:31,300
Where, you know, 2018 after 2016
and 2017, you're not pulling the

880
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:35,900
plug on your head coach 2020.
After that performance, that was

881
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:38,600
a pull.
The plug level loss.

882
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,800
Yes.
And that's why it's different.

883
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,900
That's why?
That's why ways more for me,

884
00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:47,300
especially what had happened
with, but there was a step to

885
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:48,200
get there.
Right?

886
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,600
But why North Carolina had
looked the way we had played

887
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,100
against wake, the Liberty game
and then that game.

888
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:58,400
Then that game there were there
was all of this thing on the

889
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:03,200
table, so that's us.
And we are clearly in the

890
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:08,400
minority here and that's fine.
And I don't think anybody that

891
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,100
answered otherwise is wrong.
I just think, I think we have a,

892
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,900
we have different opinions of
power where it is and, you know,

893
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:18,300
people that say yeah, that's a
bad Duke team and he should

894
00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:21,700
never get blown out by Duke
especially in whom I 110 percent

895
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:29,200
agree with you but There was
there's one thing in 1921.

896
00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:33,100
They got stolen 19, you had hope
21.

897
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:36,400
We have hope 20, The Hope got
stolen from us a few weeks

898
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,400
later.
That's the big.

899
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,700
That's why I had a vote for
because the hope that stole from

900
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:45,400
me feel he hasn't gotten stolen
at least from Corning 21 yet.

901
00:57:45,500 --> 00:57:48,500
I hope they don't steal 2021
because I will put this poll out

902
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:51,400
again and I will vote the BC
game, not the pit game.

903
00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:56,400
All right, Brian, this is this
is Last segment.

904
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,500
Well next to last time we're
going to talk about our pics in

905
00:57:58,500 --> 00:58:04,400
a little while here.
A buddy at car, we chat with

906
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:13,200
their follow them on Twitter, he
made a statement and after

907
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,100
what's happened.
The last two years, we have to

908
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:21,500
visit it and basically Eric at
the aircar following if you like

909
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:26,000
Okie football tweeted.
This is VT football worse today

910
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,200
than it was the day.
Frank Beamer retired in 2015.

911
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,400
That would have been after the
Independence Bowl win.

912
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,100
In over.
Tulsa we go seven and six.

913
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:39,200
Our only losses by more than
double digits that year or ten

914
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:44,800
point loss to Ohio, 10 point
loss, to Miami and the lost Ohio

915
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,600
State opened the season.
Every other loss was a touchdown

916
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:55,500
or less.
Keep going here.

917
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,200
Going into the November 12th
week, end of 2015.

918
00:59:01,300 --> 00:59:05,900
It was, was it four and five
were four and five?

919
00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:12,900
And we go down the stretch and
we win the game.

920
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,600
We lose Frank's last home game
in overtime to UNC and we win

921
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:22,700
the UVA game to go.
Six and six similar here with

922
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:25,600
you.
I had to look that up.

923
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:30,000
I forgot who it was.
We played the week prior to

924
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:33,300
don't worry, I'm going to effort
this real quick because I want

925
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:37,700
to remember who we played in
2020.

926
00:59:40,100 --> 00:59:44,600
For 2015.
One moment, everyone, the game

927
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,900
before UNC the game for UNC,
unless you have it up there.

928
00:59:47,900 --> 00:59:51,800
There we go.
We beat Georgia Tech.

929
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:58,200
We beat Georgia Tech.
By two points.

930
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:07,400
And let's let's let's do this.
Braun okay?

931
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:12,900
What you got 2015 going into
2016 verses 21 going to the 22

932
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:18,500
with Talent worse or better that
year in your opinion, Talent

933
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:22,400
level is Mutt, was much better
in 2015 heading into 16th.

934
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,300
And it is right now, not just
talent, but depth, which is as

935
01:00:27,300 --> 01:00:29,300
just as important is overall
Talent.

936
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:32,700
It's true.
I agree with that.

937
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:35,700
The only thing we had not ironed
out was the quarterback

938
01:00:35,700 --> 01:00:39,100
situation do give the when they
credit for that.

939
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:43,100
But getting Evans in here that
made that team click.

940
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,900
Yep.
Do not know if we would have

941
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:48,400
went to the ACC title, gamer,
won 10 games out here without

942
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,600
drive-ins.
I'm, I'd say eight, maybe seven,

943
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,000
looking, how this coaching staff
coaches.

944
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,900
Now, So write that down, we're
going now into a new regime,

945
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:05,300
likely with less Talent the
other big piece behind and this

946
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:07,300
is big.
I don't give a shit who you are

947
01:01:07,300 --> 01:01:11,500
what you say.
Following a coaching Legends and

948
01:01:11,500 --> 01:01:13,800
the expectations that have been
set.

949
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,000
We're here.
Yeah, we're here.

950
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,800
Next regime.
You're not following a coaching

951
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,900
Legend, You're not found a
coaching Legend.

952
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:30,000
You're also, I mean, the
expectations, I think in terms

953
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,900
of where we want to be or the
same, I think that out the gate,

954
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:40,400
there will be a lot more leash
than was given previously.

955
01:01:40,900 --> 01:01:43,700
And that's just because of the
things we just talked about,

956
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:47,500
which is the talent level and
roster makeup and depth of the

957
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:51,200
roster overall.
We're in a situation where not

958
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,100
It's not just finding a solution
at quarterback.

959
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,900
It's finding the solution at
about three or four different

960
01:01:56,900 --> 01:01:58,600
positions.
Yep.

961
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:02,000
Pretty securely in the trenches
on both sides of the ball.

962
01:02:02,700 --> 01:02:07,400
Very true.
The quarterback is the big one

963
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,600
though.
I do think you have Luke coming

964
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:17,400
back, Parker's looked better.
Kate and getting the playing

965
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,700
time this year has helped out.
I don't think he's there but I

966
01:02:19,700 --> 01:02:24,400
think he has a potential.
You do need some more depth on

967
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,600
the line.
I think it's defensive in depth

968
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,100
on the defensive line.
I feel okay about linebackers, I

969
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:33,300
feel good.
Oh okay about the backend on

970
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:38,300
defense but it's the depth.
There ain't much behind anybody

971
01:02:38,300 --> 01:02:41,500
so I'm with you on that, but
it's the expectations.

972
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:44,300
I think we as a fan base or
probably going to go into this

973
01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:48,300
thing that first year depending
on, who comes how the portal,

974
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:51,800
looks who stays in the
recruiting class, who we get

975
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:56,200
from the transfer portal, yet
portals going to absolutely be

976
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,400
important.
No matter who comes in, but it's

977
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,600
going to be well as expectations
if we're sitting here a year

978
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,200
from tonight and you tell me
where it's six wins, they have

979
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:09,300
met expectations if you're
telling me that with three weeks

980
01:03:09,300 --> 01:03:11,800
ago on the seasons, we have six
wins, you've completely met my

981
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:17,100
expectation as of right now,
We've got to see everything that

982
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:19,700
happens.
Check us back in August of next

983
01:03:19,700 --> 01:03:23,300
year and see if I say six wins.
Like I said nine this year,

984
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,700
stupid me trusting, this
coaching staff.

985
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,700
All right Brian, let's jump on
the snack, I don't necessarily

986
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:33,500
trust the coaching staff.
I thought I thought talent-wise

987
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:37,300
on the field.
We were better than at least

988
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,400
half the teams on our on our
schedule.

989
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,500
And then we sneak one in their
Sleek one or two in there, and

990
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:47,200
we haven't done that.
And We've played below our

991
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,100
talent level in a lot of games
and most of that from coaching

992
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:53,200
decisions that are made in real
time.

993
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:55,600
That's very true.
That's a good point to make you

994
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,600
may be a new coach task and
revitalizing the seven.

995
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,200
The seven point loss, the three
point loss in the two point loss

996
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,300
of the four-point loss can all
be flipped, all right?

997
01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:13,700
Brian I don't think anybody
should argue about this 2015,

998
01:04:13,700 --> 01:04:16,200
2016.
We were significantly needing of

999
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,900
upgrades.
Those are rolling into effect.

1000
01:04:20,500 --> 01:04:23,100
The new coach is going to have
the new weight room.

1001
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:27,800
The new players with the new
dorms, The increased budgets.

1002
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:34,300
So, Ami, that's that, this is
the only area that Fuente is

1003
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:38,300
leaving better than he found it
and he didn't do it, and he

1004
01:04:38,300 --> 01:04:40,500
didn't really do a whole lot to
get it there.

1005
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:48,800
But between what wit had already
put on the the roadmap, plus

1006
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,300
what?
In terms of recruiting and other

1007
01:04:51,300 --> 01:04:55,200
things that, you know, Fuente
was able to in terms of

1008
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,600
recruiting staff, I should say
that Fuente was able to bring to

1009
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:58,800
the table.
Post the bail.

1010
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Flirtation.
The combination of those two

1011
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,800
things have at least moved the
conversation forward.

1012
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,900
Even if not all of the financial
investments have made their

1013
01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:14,200
their way home yet.
But more than likely those are

1014
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:18,200
coming through in the next two
to three years and hopefully

1015
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,700
some of the early big investment
that's made into Reach For

1016
01:05:21,700 --> 01:05:24,300
Excellence.
Can be put towards building that

1017
01:05:24,300 --> 01:05:28,700
recruiting staff, or hiring
those offensive and defensive.

1018
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:34,100
Analysts to kind of move things
forward for this team because

1019
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:36,600
that's where the, I think in
terms of on-field product,

1020
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,600
that's what's going to help the
most out the gate.

1021
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:45,700
So that and obviously, the
assistant salary pool, all of

1022
01:05:45,707 --> 01:05:49,300
that's going to be big in.
That is the one thing that if

1023
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:52,300
anything, from this tenure,
you're going to say, things will

1024
01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:58,100
pointed out.
And I think if things had, let

1025
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:03,500
me ask this, Ron, if 2018 didn't
happen, 2018 didn't happen.

1026
01:06:04,100 --> 01:06:08,300
And let's say, we went eight and
five in 2018, we would be behind

1027
01:06:08,300 --> 01:06:13,800
a year on all the upgrades. 2018
is going to be considered should

1028
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,700
be considered a blessing in
disguise because when you have

1029
01:06:17,700 --> 01:06:22,400
that bad of a season, after
essentially the Frank run at the

1030
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,900
end, it was just Frank's just
getting older, he's slowing

1031
01:06:24,900 --> 01:06:26,300
down.
Can't get the recruits.

1032
01:06:26,300 --> 01:06:30,300
It's tougher.
But after the first two years

1033
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:33,200
are just want to, in 2018
doesn't happen, it doesn't turn

1034
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,100
whitside to.
I've got to get this shit.

1035
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:40,400
Straight up, gotta get this shit
straight now especially in it

1036
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,500
and that there's the upside if
he doesn't come do what he did.

1037
01:06:45,300 --> 01:06:50,000
We don't move forward quicker.
Yeah and and I mean, let's talk

1038
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,200
about this too because obviously
the biggest issue that we're

1039
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,900
having in terms of not achieving
what we want to achieve right

1040
01:06:57,900 --> 01:07:02,500
now is Is coaching, but all
these other things are playing a

1041
01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:06,000
role and the fact that they need
to be addressed, can't be

1042
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,100
understated.
That being said, a good coach

1043
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:13,600
gets us where we need to be in
spite of that.

1044
01:07:13,700 --> 01:07:17,300
Yes.
And you give them something to

1045
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:20,400
build upon they can they can
grow into something even better.

1046
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:24,900
Yeah.
So that's kind of where we are

1047
01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:27,300
in this thing and then we talk
about fan engagement, kind of

1048
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:33,400
being the last thing, comparing
the two way different way,

1049
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:37,900
worse, way worse.
Even the meddling last four

1050
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:41,500
years of Frank?
We were still a In about 60 to

1051
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:46,100
61 think.
I think somebody said this year,

1052
01:07:46,100 --> 01:07:50,600
we're at like 58 maybe 50 to the
X, so, 10,000 centrally to and

1053
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:55,100
that's after not having fans and
stands for 2020 and it being a

1054
01:07:55,100 --> 01:07:57,600
big fucking deal.
The first two to three weeks

1055
01:07:57,700 --> 01:08:00,600
that we went home.
What did we say on here?

1056
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:07,500
We said it almost a year ago,
when he was kept, you're going

1057
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:10,600
to see effects on the fan base.
People are not going to show up

1058
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,300
and then people like, yeah, but
we've been locked in a year.

1059
01:08:13,300 --> 01:08:15,100
Yeah.
And for the first few weeks,

1060
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:17,700
it'll be okay.
Yeah, we start fucking up,

1061
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:22,500
you're going to see exactly what
you are seeing at Syracuse.

1062
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:25,600
And, you know what, we're
probably going to see at the new

1063
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,700
game, which is about 55 56,
thousand in length.

1064
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,899
We don't want to turn into Bobby
Dodd Stadium.

1065
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,000
Yeah.
Do you not want to become that?

1066
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,500
And I don't think, I don't think
we will either, but I think I

1067
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:44,600
think the point and I get that
but that you talk about a team

1068
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,500
in the middle of a city.
They've got other shit to do.

1069
01:08:46,500 --> 01:08:51,600
I get that and Virginia Tech is
the biggest show in the state of

1070
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:56,100
Virginia.
I get that but hold on but you.

1071
01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:01,399
Yep.
It's the city of Richmond in

1072
01:09:01,399 --> 01:09:03,700
Virginia Beach, in Northern
Virginia.

1073
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:09,600
How many people are driving 3-4
hours, every Saturday.

1074
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,200
We've done it Brian and coming
into Blacksburg.

1075
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:18,500
What you do not want to do is
convince those people.

1076
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,800
I don't need to go we suck.
Anyway, I'm not going to do

1077
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,000
anything.
I'm not going to be engaged with

1078
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,899
the team.
Yeah, give me folks from like

1079
01:09:25,899 --> 01:09:27,800
Lynchburg and Stanton and All
Points.

1080
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,500
West of that is not the hard
part.

1081
01:09:29,500 --> 01:09:33,200
It's getting getting folks from
the Tidewater there, every week.

1082
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,800
Getting folks, Richmond, there
every week.

1083
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,899
Getting folks from Nova there
every week.

1084
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:42,800
And once you start losing that
audience, yep.

1085
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,700
Where they might make one One
game a year instead of five

1086
01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:49,000
where they might not make a game
this year, because they'll get

1087
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,800
it next year, when the teams
looking better.

1088
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:52,600
Yeah.
Whatever it may be.

1089
01:09:53,700 --> 01:09:55,600
That that's when you're going to
be in trouble.

1090
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,000
And I think it's, we're already
starting to see some of that

1091
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:03,900
creeping in what we say.
And it's not, it's not just,

1092
01:10:04,300 --> 01:10:09,500
I'll say this, we've seen it as
we have progressed week-to-week,

1093
01:10:09,500 --> 01:10:14,300
based on the podcast, true.
It's drink them.

1094
01:10:14,700 --> 01:10:17,500
The more folks are.
We are engaged at the beginning

1095
01:10:17,500 --> 01:10:20,300
of the year when things still
look pretty.

1096
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,100
Yeah, it started to trickle away
there is.

1097
01:10:24,100 --> 01:10:27,500
Apathy said to him, we see it.
I mean that that's one metric.

1098
01:10:27,500 --> 01:10:30,000
You look at the metric of folks
showing up in the stands.

1099
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,000
There's several different
metrics that point to the fan

1100
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,400
base is losing interest in
watching a losing product on the

1101
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:42,100
field.
And you can only sell hope for

1102
01:10:42,100 --> 01:10:47,900
so long into the season every
year before it starts going back

1103
01:10:47,900 --> 01:10:49,600
to.
Oh, okay, this is that same

1104
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,800
team.
We saw last year that chokes

1105
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,600
these games away.
This is the same team that

1106
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,500
doesn't quite, get it done
because the coaching staff

1107
01:10:56,500 --> 01:10:58,900
doesn't have them prepared
properly on.

1108
01:10:58,900 --> 01:11:01,400
Ask you a question, right?
And be very serious about this,

1109
01:11:01,500 --> 01:11:04,900
if a change is made last year,
but we're sitting at exactly the

1110
01:11:04,900 --> 01:11:07,800
same record this year.
You want to thank engagement.

1111
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,100
Still wouldn't be up.
I mean, yeah, you're going to

1112
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:13,700
get a honeymoon period obviously
with the new coach especially if

1113
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:17,700
that new coaches coming in and
actually engaging the fans in a

1114
01:11:17,700 --> 01:11:21,200
way that they are used to
historically, but we're also

1115
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,900
going to be sitting here and
saying he had to clean up the

1116
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:28,600
absolute dumpster fire.
That was yeah again you get you

1117
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,800
get morally, she get the
honeymoon period.

1118
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,300
There's going to be a period of
time where we are giving the new

1119
01:11:34,300 --> 01:11:37,200
coach the benefit of the doubt.
And hopefully that he's earning

1120
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,500
it because that's one thing that
I will say.

1121
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:43,400
To Fuente is that he doesn't get
the bit of the benefit of the

1122
01:11:43,407 --> 01:11:47,100
doubt because he'd never tried
to earn it in terms of fan

1123
01:11:47,100 --> 01:11:49,100
engagement.
Nope, never did.

1124
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,500
If you keep that shit, so close
to your chest that people don't

1125
01:11:52,500 --> 01:11:54,300
know what to think, they are
going to write their own

1126
01:11:54,300 --> 01:11:56,600
narrative.
And if you let that go for long

1127
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,900
enough, it's going to become a
problem.

1128
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:03,400
And they're going to give you
the big finger and say, I don't

1129
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,800
need to waste my money.
I'll need to come see, I want to

1130
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,500
know about my program.
I want to know about players, I

1131
01:12:07,508 --> 01:12:08,900
don't know about what's going
on.

1132
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:13,100
We this is college football.
This is not the NFL and they

1133
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:18,700
can't be that tight lipped.
So you know, next guy think

1134
01:12:18,700 --> 01:12:22,000
about it in for the next coach
to.

1135
01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:26,700
There are numerous Coca-Cola
events every year.

1136
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,400
Their enrichment, Oddworld, all
over the place, my advice to

1137
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,100
you.
When there's a recruit night in

1138
01:12:33,100 --> 01:12:36,400
Richmond, go to, when there's
recruit night in title or go to

1139
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:40,000
it, Nova, go to it.
They always show up for the

1140
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,400
kickoff dinners.
That's fine and dandy if there's

1141
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,300
other events, create other
events, keep engaging.

1142
01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:49,600
Send your assistant.
Coaches are two talks in players

1143
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,000
to talk.
That's what's going to get us

1144
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,200
back.
All right.

1145
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,800
Getting getting those coaches
back in the high schools,

1146
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,800
consistently is going to help to
you.

1147
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,100
Damn right.
It is so, you know, again, shout

1148
01:13:02,100 --> 01:13:04,900
out to Eric for saying to that.
And let's just, let's just say

1149
01:13:04,900 --> 01:13:07,800
it.
I think we're not significantly,

1150
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,200
lower than where we were.
I don't think we're this far in

1151
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,400
2016, or from 2015.
I do think we're probably about

1152
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,300
a step and a half back of where
we were.

1153
01:13:19,500 --> 01:13:23,800
We're not where we were 2015,
but we're not in the dumpster.

1154
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:28,000
We're just a little bit down.
We're a more attractive program

1155
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:32,000
financially than we were in
2015, heading into 16.

1156
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,200
But probably by every other
measurable metric.

1157
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,800
We are at least a step behind,
if not more and opinion.

1158
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,200
Makes sense.
So again, we both kind of agree

1159
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,400
that we aren't where we were.
We're lower.

1160
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:54,500
But knowing this fan base.
Knowing the potential donors out

1161
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:56,900
there knowing that how they're
setting the money up.

1162
01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:03,000
If the next guy gets it Roland
The things can happen, quicker.

1163
01:14:03,500 --> 01:14:04,900
Big time.
All right.

1164
01:14:04,900 --> 01:14:07,600
Anytime Brian, let's roll into
this Saturday.

1165
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,600
Pick them's.
Braun 5 & 5 this week.

1166
01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:14,500
Okay.
What can you do?

1167
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,300
The coin?
Flip GT Miami is what burn me?

1168
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:25,300
Of course it did.
What's GTA in 73?

1169
01:14:25,300 --> 01:14:29,400
This week?
Both got wake wrong, both got

1170
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,700
pit, right?
If you put twenty eight and a

1171
01:14:31,708 --> 01:14:34,400
half, like I said, sorry you
lost your money.

1172
01:14:34,500 --> 01:14:38,700
I was all 53 juice for a heck of
a lot more than I thought.

1173
01:14:38,700 --> 01:14:44,700
They would GT Miami.
I know you had to be angry at

1174
01:14:44,700 --> 01:14:47,700
points in that game, right?
Our it just like just put these

1175
01:14:47,700 --> 01:14:49,700
guys away.
Yeah.

1176
01:14:49,900 --> 01:14:52,300
Please and they didn't find me
one.

1177
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:54,900
It was close.
Close!

1178
01:14:54,900 --> 01:15:00,200
Close NC State easily.
Handled FSU.

1179
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,000
They won by two touchdowns so
that line was we taught that

1180
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,100
line smelly right?
Yep.

1181
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,000
Yep.
And you know, next one up

1182
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,200
Clemson, not quite the dramatic
backdoor cover that they had

1183
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,000
last week but they got it late
again.

1184
01:15:15,900 --> 01:15:21,600
They did it again.
We both whiffed on the Kentucky,

1185
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,000
Tennessee game.
Yeah, shout out him and hooker.

1186
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,000
You took care of business, man,
and I know there was a couple

1187
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:30,800
questionable calls and no calls
at the end of that one, that

1188
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:35,300
made a controversial, but 8,
shout out to Hendon hooker.

1189
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:39,000
Great job.
Biggest upset of the week,

1190
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,300
Brian.
Told ya that you got me on that

1191
01:15:43,300 --> 01:15:47,600
one too, man.
Heard you upsetting Michigan

1192
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,500
State?
I don't we upsetting, they sort

1193
01:15:49,500 --> 01:15:55,700
of ran away from them.
And again, you know, Purdue

1194
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,600
playing a top five.
Team is different than Purdue

1195
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,700
playing literally any other
opponent dangerous, very

1196
01:16:01,700 --> 01:16:06,300
dangerous.
I like Jeff brohm, I like Jeff

1197
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:10,200
brohm a lot.
As a coach doesn't have the best

1198
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:15,300
recruiting Style.
But he's also at Purdue.

1199
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,800
So, if you ask me what I like
him to be the next head coach of

1200
01:16:19,808 --> 01:16:23,100
yes, but he's got to make his
staff full of Ace recruiters.

1201
01:16:23,100 --> 01:16:27,800
I think he's a great X's and O's
guy but we'll see his bio.

1202
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:31,600
I'm here in his files, very
high, probably some yes, like 7

1203
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,400
million.
Yeah, really high.

1204
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:41,500
Washington, Oregon, Washington
made it interesting for a long

1205
01:16:41,500 --> 01:16:44,500
time in that game on Saturday
night, or you eventually puts

1206
01:16:44,500 --> 01:16:50,200
them away, You know what,
Oregon's just like that team

1207
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:55,300
that if it's somebody that's
below them they are similar to

1208
01:16:55,300 --> 01:16:58,300
us.
It's like they turn off certain

1209
01:16:58,300 --> 01:17:01,700
gears.
Yeah and lucky with them they

1210
01:17:01,700 --> 01:17:04,200
have some Talent.
They can turn it back on and

1211
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:10,700
pull away at the end but you
know you see Washington.

1212
01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:13,200
Let go of half their offensive
staff.

1213
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:16,600
Jenny Lake Champlain, Jimmy like
going to get fired.

1214
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,100
Yeah, well Jimmy Lake knows what
Justin Fuente.

1215
01:17:21,100 --> 01:17:25,100
Doesn't that exactly if shit
goes south, get rid of somebody

1216
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:28,000
to buy you a little bit of time?
See if you can right the ship it

1217
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,400
is this is his second year so
you know after having a I think

1218
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:37,700
they'd at least solid last year
and he's got a little leeway

1219
01:17:37,700 --> 01:17:42,000
there Ole Miss.
Yeah I think he's underachieving

1220
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,900
relative to the keys he was
handed and that's that's why

1221
01:17:45,900 --> 01:17:47,200
people are getting antsy.
See.

1222
01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:53,200
And I think that that mean you,
you were essentially coming off

1223
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:59,700
a trip to the college football
playoff with the previous regime

1224
01:17:59,700 --> 01:18:04,900
and now, all of a sudden here.
We are exactly Ole Miss handles

1225
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:06,800
Liberty.
In the Hugh, freeze bowl.

1226
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,000
That game was over at halftime.
I don't, I think Ole Miss did

1227
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,400
nothing but Lane when ton lane
lane ran the ball in the second

1228
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,500
half, cut the game in half and
essentially didn't give Liberty

1229
01:18:17,500 --> 01:18:21,200
a chance to come back later.
Down, they won by 13.

1230
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,300
I think we said they wind up.
Well, I think we both said 14,

1231
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:28,400
we were one point off on that
one and the biggest game of the

1232
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,800
day we completely screwed up
completely.

1233
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:39,100
But now am's winning, the other
thing was Arkansas.

1234
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,300
Beat Mississippi State, Arkansas
is going to get ranked this

1235
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:42,400
week.
Mississippi state's going to get

1236
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,300
ring unranked this week, but
Alabama's going to have multiple

1237
01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:49,400
wins over multiple ranked teams,
just all the way it's going to

1238
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,000
look.
They're going to continue to

1239
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,200
climb any other game that
culture out of this weekend.

1240
01:18:54,200 --> 01:19:00,200
Braun trying to think of any
other ones.

1241
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,600
That was that I watched that
wasn't on this list.

1242
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,500
That I was keeping tabs of most
of the ones we had we had

1243
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:08,900
picked.
So always, I can't think of

1244
01:19:08,907 --> 01:19:11,700
anything off the top that really
caught my eye.

1245
01:19:11,700 --> 01:19:14,600
What about you?
You've won Ohio State and

1246
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:20,800
Nebraska was Was interesting.
There's one more that was that

1247
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,100
in my poor cousin from
Charleston, didn't get to go.

1248
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,900
I know where you're heading with
this one, by his sons and

1249
01:19:27,900 --> 01:19:31,900
offensive linemen, they have a
state playoff game, and he hurt

1250
01:19:31,900 --> 01:19:34,400
his leg.
He was going to go to Florida,

1251
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,400
South Carolina and he didn't get
to go.

1252
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:41,400
And he missed chain Beamer.
Absolutely walking the dog on

1253
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:45,000
Dan Mullen, I like Dan Mullen.
I just don't think Dan Mullen to

1254
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,000
fit for Florida.
Shane gets really his first big

1255
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:56,400
win and, you know, a lot of
people crying, we should have

1256
01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:00,200
hired chain.
Like, you know, Shane would have

1257
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,200
been a no-lose situation.
Even if he comes back in 10

1258
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,500
years, it's still a no-lose
situation or a no-win situation

1259
01:20:06,700 --> 01:20:09,500
for Shane.
Hey, what do I need to do here?

1260
01:20:09,900 --> 01:20:11,100
You need to win a National
Title.

1261
01:20:11,700 --> 01:20:15,500
Your dad, got this close you
need to win at 0-0 and you need

1262
01:20:15,500 --> 01:20:19,100
to win like Ten Conference
titles.

1263
01:20:20,100 --> 01:20:22,400
Yay.
What else?

1264
01:20:24,100 --> 01:20:26,200
Number one.
Picks need to do a couple more

1265
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,300
of those.
What else?

1266
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,500
You know that's it.
Yeah.

1267
01:20:34,300 --> 01:20:45,700
Have one of the best 30-year
runs of all time, you didn't win

1268
01:20:45,700 --> 01:20:50,100
a National Title and all this.
He never had top 10 Talent

1269
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:53,600
across the board.
Consistently, if Frank Beamer

1270
01:20:53,900 --> 01:20:57,100
Has top-10 Talent across the
board, consistently for his Run,

1271
01:20:57,300 --> 01:21:00,200
Frank has three rings.
That's my opinion.

1272
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:06,900
Pride anything breaking other
than it has a nice finish to the

1273
01:21:06,900 --> 01:21:10,400
football game here.
I think we're good to go buddy.

1274
01:21:10,900 --> 01:21:12,200
All right.
