The Hokies took care of business in Lane on Saturday afternoon as they put away the Blue Devils 48-17 and played their most complete game of the season. We look at what clicked for this team against a poor Duke squad and try to put this win in context of this season. We also examine some of the public financial available via Sportico.com to see how the Hokies stack up.
1
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast.
2
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,300
I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Bryan Sigma, buddy.
3
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:53,400
How you doing tonight?
Sunday?
4
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,300
Night.
We got one after a second.
5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,100
We got one after we win.
Yeah, we get to, we get to do
6
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,200
this after a win.
I forgot what it felt like.
7
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,900
Feels so much better to do one
of these without a win even
8
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:10,300
though it's only been two weeks.
But you know, the the losses
9
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,100
just take more of a toll on his
right and you know you got a lot
10
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,800
of fun tonight, not a
discussions about the game and
11
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,300
some more fun stuff with
something you got into earlier
12
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,200
this week.
And Brian, the finish line is
13
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,900
Tuesday for you, right?
Yeah, if I can get one, really,
14
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,300
if I can get through tomorrow
night, the the next month is
15
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:37,700
going to go a lot smoother.
Well at least things slow down a
16
00:01:37,708 --> 00:01:41,900
little bit.
My meat becomes more manageable
17
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,100
so I'll take the slow down he
pile.
18
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:50,000
He passed the mile marker of
finishing Youth Sports in the
19
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,900
fall.
This weekend Sports is over.
20
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,600
I got one of my two classes
wrapped up this past Wednesday,
21
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:01,800
I I've talked about it a little
bit when we went last time.
22
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,900
So, yeah.
And then the last of will the
23
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,300
second of three big
presentations for the other
24
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:16,000
class takes place tomorrow.
So yeah, once I get that knocked
25
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,900
out, should be pretty smooth.
Sailing down the home stretch.
26
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,500
Well, it's much easier for you
from here on out.
27
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,700
Yeah, yeah, I'm looking, I'm
looking forward to, you know, I
28
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,800
know we're going To the
holidays, which is always
29
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
something to look forward to.
But it's nice to take a little
30
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,300
bit off the plate gradually, as
we ease into that, because
31
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,500
obviously, with all that stuff
comes a little bit extra stuff
32
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:43,100
for for me to do as well.
So it'll be nice having a little
33
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,200
bit lighter low to compensate
for some of that new stuff
34
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,300
coming down the pike,
absolutely.
35
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:49,900
And see here a little lucky this
year.
36
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,000
When you make that move, you
don't have to do what I had to
37
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800
do.
Speaking of holidays.
38
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,700
Neighbor up the street, put the
tree out.
39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,300
I got the look, you need to go
to the attic and start pulling
40
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,600
everything down.
So so before the game Saturday,
41
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,100
pulling a little bit of
Christmas down, and then pretty
42
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,600
much all morning, pulling
Christmas decorations down.
43
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,900
And I gave my wife a little
grief that she was like, listen,
44
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,200
you know how much stuff we have,
right?
45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,300
I'm like, yeah, we decorate for
Christmas.
46
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,600
You've been here?
We decorate.
47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,100
You know, we got to like it.
We tried to start Thanksgiving
48
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,300
week, I wouldn't get everything
up until the week of Christmas
49
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,800
and I want to enjoy the
decoration fight.
50
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,100
You know what hon, whatever you
want.
51
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:36,900
Let's do it.
It's not a big deal.
52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,600
I mean, I get the one to like
compartmentalize Halloween than
53
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Thanksgiving than Christmas.
But you know for folks that
54
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,900
either travel on Thanksgiving or
constantly on the go that
55
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,500
weekend, you know, you can't
always get it done.
56
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,900
I mean we got we got a game to
watch after after Thanksgiving
57
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,000
game, want to, we're going to be
one to get the damn decorations.
58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,500
Put up, never get them on, get
get at least a good start going
59
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,100
the weekend before, which is
probably what we're going to do.
60
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,800
Probably next weekend, we're
going to get a good jump on it
61
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,300
and then wrap it up.
Once we get back from my mom's
62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,300
the following weekend after
Thanksgiving.
63
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:24,100
So, There you go.
There you go.
64
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000
All right, Brian, let's jump
into it man.
65
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,700
Hokies with.
I mean, I prediction, we thought
66
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,200
it was going to be a close game
but offense defense and special
67
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,000
teams all show out Hokies blow
the doors off of Duke.
68
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:46,100
Kind of a Bittersweet Revenge
game for Justin Fuente speaking
69
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,200
of, because two years ago was
the ugly game in the lane, he
70
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,200
blows out Juke 48:17 and Let's
flip on the offense.
71
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,000
First Prime, finally Hokies have
returned back to over. 500 yards
72
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600
of total offense.
We can do that.
73
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:06,000
I didn't know we could do that.
I didn't know we had that in
74
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,100
this.
But, I mean, it started on the
75
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,800
running game though, right?
The running game got going.
76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,600
You know what 297 was over 300
before the kneel down?
77
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,800
Yep, the noodles.
So we yeah.
78
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:27,400
So over 300 and probably, the
more impressive was like, it was
79
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,100
over 300 and the Carrie thing,
click, get it back up here.
80
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,200
It's one thing.
I did not know take wonderful
81
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,300
me, but I had it right here.
There it is.
82
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,900
After Dean, on 40 carries 141
carries, do the math, that's
83
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:52,000
over seven to carry, I don't
care who you're playing, you're
84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,900
on the ball that many times and
get seven to carry, you're going
85
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:58,100
to win and usually you're going
to do what we did, which is
86
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,100
absolutely blow the doors off of
them.
87
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:07,000
And let's talk about the guy who
absolutely led the way monster
88
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,700
first happen, Monster game
overall, Raheem Blackshear Ron
89
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:17,600
117 yards on the ground, 9.8 per
carry.
90
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800
What did you see?
Just overall in his game on
91
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Saturday, he was definitely he's
in his game, has gotten a lot
92
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,900
better as the seasons went along
and this was this was the big,
93
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,400
the big game.
I think all of us were kind of
94
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,500
waiting for for Blackshear and
and it finally happened happen
95
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,500
against Duke.
I think, just because he's
96
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,700
gotten better with his Is like
one cut and go.
97
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:47,500
He's been more decisive with his
with his Cuts.
98
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,600
I think that's really helped his
game.
99
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,300
Duke was really poor old a set
in the edge getting to the spill
100
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:02,000
area and he was able to really
run inside and outside and just
101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,600
he was able to really get to the
second level and when he gets
102
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,700
the second level, he shift he
makes guys miss and he did a
103
00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:13,000
good job of Showing some of the
speed he doesn't necessarily
104
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,100
have Breakaway speed but he has
good speed and can can turn
105
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:22,300
things into a big play there.
So great job, I Blackshear
106
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Malachi Thomas unfortunately had
a rough day but we had a key.
107
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,500
Shaun, King, sighting and boy
did it blow up it absolutely did
108
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:38,200
here in T he re introduced
himself to us Hokies 94 95, I
109
00:07:38,207 --> 00:07:41,600
mean 10 yards a carry off of had
some Been in there.
110
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,700
We'll discuss that in a little
while here and then, you know,
111
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,900
the for went a comment that
really caught my ear so it
112
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,100
quoted here, you know, I think
it's a glimpse of what Keshawn
113
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,600
is capable of.
I love Keshawn King and
114
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,900
unrelenting in my desire to
continue to do things the right
115
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,300
way.
He knows that that's the
116
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,300
beautiful part about it and
there's not a more pleasurable
117
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,600
person to be around when he's
right?
118
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,300
Hey, this game.
I felt like it was time to
119
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,600
reward him with some
opportunities and he did not
120
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600
disappoint.
So sounds like he was not
121
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,300
completely Italy in the doghouse
but obviously, because he had
122
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,200
been on kick return, making it
an effort.
123
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,100
They're getting a carry here and
there, but obviously worked back
124
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:24,700
towards getting in that rotation
and then with the, you know, the
125
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:30,700
bad day for Malachi with only 10
yards, not not great at all for
126
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,600
him on seven carries, he added
that extra spark.
127
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:41,000
You've ran hard and I think you
talked about Rahim and even with
128
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:45,800
Keyshawn, some of the runs
yesterday, the vision and the
129
00:08:45,808 --> 00:08:49,700
decisive Cuts, they got to a
point.
130
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:53,100
They saw where it was and they
just cut, they did not run into
131
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:57,600
the back of anyone.
And I don't know if you saw this
132
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600
last night on Twitter or today,
Brian Khalil Herbert retweeting
133
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
him.
Kind of giving it a, give them a
134
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,500
congratulations and it seems
like there.
135
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:10,000
I don't know if he's in there
ear sending the messages of what
136
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,300
to see what to talk about.
But both of those guys, it's you
137
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,900
see so many times.
These guys were so athletic like
138
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,400
this, they try to get out.
They try to get out.
139
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,200
When in reality you never made
an offensive lineman.
140
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Things are being set up.
You have to choose where to go.
141
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,400
You got to be able to number one
trust that the blocks will be
142
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,200
there.
But also read the blocks as we
143
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,500
happen because sometimes
depending on what the defense
144
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:42,600
does, there's going to be some
some adjustment to that aiming
145
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,100
Point potentially.
So there's a couple things that
146
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:51,400
happen in real time and the
Really best backs can be both
147
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,200
patient and decisive at the same
time and that's what Herbert was
148
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
so good at, he was patient but
he was decisive once he made a
149
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
decision of how He was setting
things up.
150
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:07,100
He get through there, and he had
the ability to turn a big one
151
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:12,300
into into a touchdown, just with
his speed and his ability to
152
00:10:12,308 --> 00:10:15,000
break those arm tackles at the
second level.
153
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,000
And and Rahim showed, you know,
promised there and I think this
154
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,700
was really we really focused on
getting the running backs
155
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:28,000
involved in the game plan
altogether from Jump Street and
156
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,100
and and they showed out they
show that they were capable of
157
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,300
getting the job done.
They really did.
158
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,100
I mean, they showed they were
capable of getting the job, they
159
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,800
go over 200 combined on, you
know, not that many carries.
160
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,000
I mean, I think they were over
eight per carry which is just
161
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:50,100
insane combined on a little bit
more than that actually.
162
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,600
But let's talk about also a
front, right?
163
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,300
Let's look at the offensive
lineman Brock Hoffman was out so
164
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,600
I'm street clothes food on the
sidelines.
165
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,000
Be interesting to see if he's
back any more games this season
166
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,500
or potentially the bowl.
Game, he did participate in the
167
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,400
senior day ceremony.
So Kind of the writing's on the
168
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,700
wall there but we started out
our starting five.
169
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:14,400
When we first rolled out was
Luke tenuta the seat of Smith.
170
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,200
Johnny, Jordan South stains and
Darrell Smith and Will Smith
171
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,000
written 25.
I'm sure that warms your heart
172
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:26,200
to see a low number on the
linemen and then we saw, you
173
00:11:26,208 --> 00:11:30,600
know, Caden more and fabric
laments, get some action as well
174
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,900
on the right side.
What was your assessment of the
175
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:36,600
line?
Pretty much in all aspects.
176
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,200
Yesterday, when I saw more and
Parker out there, that's when
177
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,100
the line look the best in my
opinion and I thought Johnny did
178
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:53,900
a good job at Center.
We didn't quite have as much
179
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,000
push in the middle as we've had
in some other weeks.
180
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,900
But I think he did a good job of
getting everyone set up in this
181
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:07,600
in place of Brock because any
and he's ran Center come for us
182
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,500
this year with Brock moving,
moving along the line early in
183
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,600
the season.
We were still working out who
184
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:21,600
are five were but I think that
more and Parker showed have
185
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,200
shown some some jump in the last
few weeks and Silas was pretty
186
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,000
steady when he was in there.
So I mean overall good effort by
187
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
the offensive line.
That wasn't a whole lot of
188
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:37,700
glaring, things that popped out
to me, we could have been a
189
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:41,700
little bit better on the inside
Zone, kind of some of the
190
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,500
Insight combos there.
But other than that, good job
191
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:49,300
overall.
Let's flip and talk about more
192
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:54,400
in Parker.
More obviously, has more games
193
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,800
under his belt.
Parker, a few behind.
194
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,200
But you talked about that was
the best.
195
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,700
We look, is just one of those
things.
196
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:07,000
The reps are finally catching up
and it's the whole head versus
197
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
feet.
Hey, I'm going to do with an
198
00:13:09,008 --> 00:13:11,600
offensive lineman head feet and
arms.
199
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,800
It's, they're not thinking
anymore.
200
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,600
It's just becoming natural.
When they hear the play call,
201
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,900
know what I'm going to do if he
puts his hand on my shoulder.
202
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:23,500
I know how mother is it?
Just Coming more natural because
203
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:26,200
of just means they're no longer
thinking about what they have to
204
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000
do.
It's more about, you know, once
205
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,900
they do it, how the defense
reaction, then what they have to
206
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:36,700
do to counter that in real time.
So, essentially everything after
207
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:38,600
the snap.
Not, not thinking a whole lot
208
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,200
before the snap, which is good,
that that you don't want your
209
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200
linemen thinking.
Before they take their first
210
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,100
step, you want them to know
exactly what they're doing,
211
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,900
exactly where they're going, and
what they're going to do when
212
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:53,700
they get there.
So I think that's the big thing.
213
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,000
You see more?
Come on a lot, a lot more
214
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400
lately.
He had a some really good
215
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,200
blocks.
I think on a couple screens down
216
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000
field Parker was down down field
on my screen, getting some
217
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,500
blocks.
So I mean they were doing some
218
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:10,000
good stuff in various ways, it
wasn't just in the Run game, so
219
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:14,800
really like the potential there.
We got to see if they're going
220
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,700
to take another step going into
next season.
221
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,200
But definitely early Returns on
both of them are Better than
222
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800
anticipated.
Great to hear.
223
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:27,500
Right.
Well let's not forget the main
224
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,900
getting every snap Braxton
Burmeister not skidding did get
225
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:36,400
some stats and Braixen went down
with a little wrist injury but
226
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,600
he did get back out there and I
just say this prom, when we
227
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,900
actually run read options and we
have some designed runs and he's
228
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,000
allowed to scramble, but in
keeping them under that 10
229
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,900
threshold, this actually helps
not only Helmet on.
230
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,700
It helps his team autonomy.
He had 71 yards on just nine
231
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,200
carries.
Yeah, and it was a plethora of
232
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000
things.
Yeah we saw had the offense
233
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,300
opened up once he was keeping
more once he showed that he was
234
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:10,900
a threat in the running game but
nine carries 71 yards.
235
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,700
I mean that's a big day that's
that's probably the best day
236
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,700
he's had since at some point
last year in terms of running
237
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:24,800
the football and what he did I
mean he didn't get hurt on a
238
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,700
play where he's keeping it.
I mean, and he did a good job of
239
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,100
getting down.
When he did take hits, it wasn't
240
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,500
those type of hits where, you
know, it's a big lick or an
241
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:40,800
awkward fall, he he was able to
go down, get back up, playing
242
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,500
the next play and I think that's
what we probably needed.
243
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,800
Most of the season to really
open things up in the running
244
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,200
game, for the running backs,
early on.
245
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:55,800
And obviously, if you could run
effectively that that helps in
246
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,200
the passing game and we saw
those numbers, take some steps
247
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,200
this week as well.
Oh absolutely.
248
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,700
We did 94, 15, very efficient
day.
249
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,300
Passing the ball, 215 yards
three touchdowns.
250
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,300
The one awkward interception
which could have been
251
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:17,500
disastrous, but keep practicing
credit for holding on to the
252
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,400
castle egg before somebody could
get there to clean it up.
253
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
But I think with the passing, he
is what he is.
254
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,200
I don't and I don't think unless
you have an exceptional teacher
255
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,900
in that room which were showing
that we don't that he's probably
256
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,100
not going to grow much more than
what he is.
257
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:39,100
And it's you're going to have to
have a really good running game.
258
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,700
Yeah.
And I think that's the so I'll
259
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:47,000
say this and I'll look at last
year, we had really what for
260
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600
sample size games from last
year, that kind of won't think
261
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,100
about what Braxton was going to
be this year before the season
262
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,100
started.
We had the to it.
263
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,700
Early in the season and the two
at the end of the season.
264
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,400
Yep.
And I think really, if you sum
265
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,500
those four games up, we're
getting about the same Braxton
266
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:11,400
that we got last year, a couple
top in games or kind of like
267
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,900
those into the season ones and
the bottom end games are our
268
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:19,500
kind of closer to what he did in
those in that NC State game and
269
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:26,300
that Duke game.
So, It kind of hit is what it
270
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,900
is.
And We see that when we can run
271
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:34,100
the ball effectively, and when
we do incorporate him into the
272
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:38,100
Run game, deliberately he can be
more efficient with the
273
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:43,500
football, but in terms of Sling,
it around and throwing deep
274
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:45,600
balls, I mean, that's not what
he's going to do.
275
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Consistently, we can pop one
every now and again when it's
276
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,600
set up, when it's schemed when
he's got the wide open throw and
277
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,700
he could step into the throw.
Yeah.
278
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:59,200
Like they all those things have
to be in place for deep. balls
279
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,900
to B2B the bread-and-butter and
it baffles me that it took so
280
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:12,000
long to Figure out that we need
to do all these things in order
281
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,100
for him to have success in the
passing game.
282
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,900
Yeah, it just shows you that
there is maybe some I don't want
283
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:21,100
to say it's ignorance.
But something along those lines
284
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:25,200
in that room to not understand
that and I mean and give credit
285
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,300
this week to to the offensive
game plan because you always
286
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:33,300
talk about, we need to ease them
into it first play the game was
287
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:36,200
a shot but the first player game
was a shot that was set up
288
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,700
perfect.
And he just overthrew.
289
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,000
All right, that's fine.
What I really enjoy do is we
290
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,700
took we didn't go crazy on shots
like we did against Pitt, we
291
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:52,100
didn't try to throw a ton of
screens like we did against West
292
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,900
Virginia or the medium range,
and short games.
293
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,700
Like we've seen a town.
It was a good mix of passes.
294
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,900
Yeah.
Essentially.
295
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:04,300
Do you get no point in time
could key on exactly what we
296
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:09,700
were doing in the passing game.
And that's why we that's why he
297
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:13,400
was so efficient, you know,
averaging over, 15 yards, an
298
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,800
attempt.
You know, or right at 15 yards,
299
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800
an attempt.
And when you're getting, when
300
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,100
you're in that, any time, you
break 10, in my opinion.
301
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:31,100
You're doing good, you know?
But a 15-yard attempt is is
302
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:37,000
really good.
And I mean we're going to get
303
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,300
into some at the end here.
So hold your tongue Brian
304
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,800
because I know what you wanted
to.
305
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,700
He's a hold his tongue.
Let's move it.
306
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:50,300
Let's let's talk about the use
of marine Blackshear and Keshawn
307
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,600
King in the passing game.
Both score TD's.
308
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,600
That again, you've always given
them credit and I don't know how
309
00:19:57,608 --> 00:20:00,100
much of a tell how much is
Justin Fuente or other people in
310
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,200
that room that play design on
the key.
311
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,500
Shaun King touchdown, do Dallas
brilliance Yeah, I mean it's a
312
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:12,800
good design and the designs that
are there.
313
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,600
I've never had that much
criticism of my criticism is we
314
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:25,700
don't Target all the field
consistently enough and we have
315
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:29,500
plays like that in our back
pocket and we don't fucking call
316
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:35,000
them ever like why are we
sitting on this for Duke when
317
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,700
we're sub 500 like where the
fuck was this?
318
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,600
PC?
Because the played it, the
319
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,000
penguin Keshawn King, even
without a running thread of a
320
00:20:48,008 --> 00:20:51,800
quarterback.
Because, sorry, here I got the
321
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,100
burps today that play was not a,
it was just a straight outside
322
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:59,600
zone, right?
That's all the play was it was
323
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,500
an outside Zone, fake.
Outside Zone, fake.
324
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:08,900
It showed one of the inside guys
want like a little flare out and
325
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:12,900
then post wheel combo.
That could have been used
326
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,100
against BC that could have been
used against Pitt that could
327
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,100
have been used potentially
against Syracuse.
328
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,400
What.
Absolutely going to use me
329
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,900
against pick his pit plays, a
lot of the same type of
330
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,500
techniques and coverage on
defense that that do plays.
331
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,700
So what the hell are we doing
there?
332
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,600
And let me, let me look like he
was on a Mars.
333
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,100
He didn't know what he was doing
there.
334
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:38,800
He was completely lost.
Good play, Bad Day.
335
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,500
We've seen it all the time.
But what I say I said in man
336
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:47,300
coverage, he was suspect and he
got but you got burned about
337
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:52,300
three times and coverage, like
big plays, not just not just
338
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,200
left.
I just given up completions.
339
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,000
Yeah.
All right, let's talk about the
340
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,600
other guy.
We already mentioned in Raheem
341
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,300
Blackshear, called a touchdown,
had a big gain in a screen and
342
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,500
then another one.
For the TD, I'm assuming you
343
00:22:06,508 --> 00:22:08,900
were looking your chops when you
saw both those place called
344
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,200
because just watching them the
setups.
345
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Juke on the on the touchdown
when we were in Jet Sweep fake.
346
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:22,300
And that whole defense went,
whoop to the opposite side of
347
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,600
the field.
When bryceton done shit, it was
348
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,300
like a three on one for the
offensive linemen like we don't
349
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:32,400
have anybody to block it.
So, if you'd like to take that
350
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,800
guy, I mean.
Tell me what you felt about.
351
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,300
Both those screens just the
design of them.
352
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,500
Again, good designs.
Where are they in other games
353
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:47,900
this year?
Yeah, I mean the first one I
354
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:51,800
think we had seen maybe once or
twice that that second one with
355
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,000
that motion.
Yeah.
356
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
I think that's maybe the first
time we've seen that all year.
357
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:05,400
And, you know, again, I just
talked about it a little bit but
358
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,600
I think That's some of the
problem.
359
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Like I love getting things,
getting the running backs
360
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,300
involved in the passing game
here.
361
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,300
I like screen out those.
I know some people out there and
362
00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:20,400
Hokie Nation like another screen
when screens work they fucking
363
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,200
work.
Now the problem is that they're
364
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,200
a often called at the wrong
Times by our coordinator and be
365
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,000
we run the same three over and
over and don't incorporate some
366
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,900
of this different motion.
Different looks different design
367
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,700
to really Keep the defense
off-balance and show them
368
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,100
something they haven't seen
before.
369
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,900
So again, I'm not sure why we're
breaking all these, these things
370
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:49,100
out against Duke other than it
being really.
371
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,900
A must-win to not be the worst
team in the conference.
372
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,300
So you know, we've at least
established that.
373
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:00,100
Virginia Tech not the worst
team.
374
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:07,000
In the ACC, not the worst team
in the ACC by far and it's
375
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800
because of guys like three
couple guys, we've mentioned in
376
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,700
Tavia, John Robinson, and I tell
you, every time he gets his ball
377
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,100
on the punt return, you just
feel like it's coming, you know,
378
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:21,800
he had three yesterday, 73,
including a big 43-yarder that
379
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,000
just put the field again.
It's a, it's a net punt.
380
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Nightmare, I'm going to the
first party at like 15 yards are
381
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,500
like the 35-yard punt with the
15 yard return.
382
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Hey, maybe I'm getting anything
on that and then just, you know,
383
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:44,500
overall for 478 Had the Fail
Mary where he was just short of
384
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:48,100
the end zone called and some
other short, couple other short
385
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:52,000
intermediate routes.
One was a really nice hook that
386
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Coldplay's later, we score a
touchdown and then an out route
387
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:01,400
and just every week it seems
like his his his route tree gets
388
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:09,600
bigger, he gets more confidence.
You know, where it looks like
389
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,300
Trey Turner.
Is leaving next year.
390
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,600
I think Tavian is going to
easily step and do the number
391
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,300
one roll.
Yeah.
392
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:21,600
And what he does he really can
line up all over the field.
393
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,700
He's probably more of a natural
fit in the slot but he can line
394
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:28,000
him up outside.
He's got the full complement of
395
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,300
the route tree.
You mentioned the Fail.
396
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:33,800
Mary.
Let's talk about that too.
397
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,400
In a drive with just a little
bit.
398
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,100
Why do we go hella conservative
in that situation?
399
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:43,500
Then as soon as you bust 11
good, run y'all.
400
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,300
Okay, well now now we wasted all
this time.
401
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,700
Now, we need to hurry up again.
I'm not mad about that.
402
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,400
Can I tell you what?
I'm mad about?
403
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800
What you mad about?
40 seconds left, we're at the
404
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,600
47.
Yeah, we're about.
405
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,200
We're about what?
10 10 yards from Romo?
406
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,700
Give me a shot to kick it,
right?
407
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Yep.
We have three timeout 3, not 1,
408
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,100
not 2.
We have all three it.
409
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:13,700
Weird like, going down field or
going sideline routes.
410
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,600
You can still run screens, you
can still run the ball.
411
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,200
You can still take shots over
the middle of the field.
412
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:24,200
We were acting like we nailed.
Why are we acting like we've got
413
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,100
to either get a bunch of yards
or get out of bounds.
414
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,200
Like neither of those are have
to use, well, you sit here and
415
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,200
it just get it's it's it's
ineptitude because you should
416
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,400
know.
I've got three timeouts.
417
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,100
If we bring the tenure over the
middle, we burn one quick setup.
418
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:47,300
And then I can sit there and And
so now we're at the 37, do the
419
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,900
math?
That's about a 53-yard.
420
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:54,600
ER, Romo's made their what,
which one the 51-yard of look
421
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,800
good from 61 earlier this year?
Yeah, I know the wind was
422
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,100
whipping yesterday and he played
into that first kick that he
423
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,600
missed because he thought I was
going to bring tried to put, he
424
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,400
tried to put that into the wind
and then the wind didn't do
425
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600
anything for him and in doing.
So the rest of them, he just
426
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600
ain't dead center and bang them
through.
427
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:17,300
Yeah, but you get you get tenure
Parts timeout, let's get 10 more
428
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:19,800
minutes.
Now you have 225 where you can
429
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:25,000
legitimately take three shots at
the end zone or take one more
430
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,300
shot and try to get 10 to 15
yards closer.
431
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,500
It's just bad.
It's, it's just terrible play
432
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,800
calling because your terrible
play, calling, terrible game
433
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,800
management, everything
communication between the play
434
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,300
caller, and the person that is
responsible for getting timeouts
435
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:46,900
on the field.
Namely corn and Fuente and went
436
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:51,100
they went they not telling him.
I have three timeouts.
437
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:56,700
Your entire Playbook is open.
Yeah, I know you don't and
438
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:01,600
that's part of like communicate.
Make sure your play caller is
439
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,500
doing what you think needs to be
done because act buck stops with
440
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,300
you buddy.
Yep. 100%.
441
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,300
All right Ron.
Let's just talk about the last
442
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:16,800
two receivers real quick.
Trey only had one catch Circus,
443
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,800
catch, but I noticed on a few
other passing plays after that
444
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,100
one, big Circus catch and then
targeting him.
445
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,100
The safety was over top him.
The rest of the day he was doing
446
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:33,400
was not getting any more single
man coverage and I think that
447
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,200
helped open up it helped open up
the Run game and it helped open
448
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
up you know Thanks for guys.
Like Caleb Smith.
449
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,700
Who had one of his.
It wasn't to statistically big
450
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:47,800
but got caught a touchdown from
walk on to scholarship to
451
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,600
catching touchdowns from up
here, in Louisa County, big, big
452
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,700
play tray.
Let everybody else get the big
453
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,000
plays because they were scared
as hell of him and Caleb Smith
454
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:00,100
taking it home.
Yeah.
455
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,800
And I think Trey was just happy
to play that game.
456
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,900
Yeah.
If we're if we're being honest
457
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:09,000
with, like, knowing that It's
going to be his last game in
458
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Lane.
Just the fact he was able to go
459
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,200
out there and and finish the
game.
460
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,600
I think that was big for him and
shout and shout out to Trey
461
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Turner like everything you could
want in a hokey.
462
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Yep.
So I mean great.
463
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Great career here.
So shout out to him on playing
464
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,500
his last home game as a hokey.
Can I say something about that?
465
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Yeah, buddy went up with his
kids and Trey.
466
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,700
Actually during the hook you all
came over and gave them all.
467
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,800
The five.
He's got a picture of it.
468
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:46,000
Just shows you hear me.
He is definitely a fans player.
469
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:52,100
Yep.
I am favorite like everything.
470
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:53,800
You want to put.
Put in that bucket.
471
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,000
That's the trade.
Turner is.
472
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,100
So shout out to Trey.
Great.
473
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,300
Great job and we've loved
watching you play here.
474
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:07,400
Is we have And then, Caleb tell
me.
475
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,500
You saw the give credits to
whoever was the producer for
476
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:14,900
that game yesterday when they
showed the Caleb Smith touchdown
477
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:18,400
because they had ran like in the
long run game where he was
478
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,200
blocking and then he released
and he went up field, two plays
479
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400
later, they run the same play,
he's blocking to guide.
480
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
You sheds in like forgets about
on the safeties come up and it's
481
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,400
the same, we use the scenes
again that exists.
482
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:38,000
It exists.
Two times now, two times.
483
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,400
Wow, yeah.
And I, you know, I like the that
484
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,800
we had to set up there, I liked
it.
485
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,700
We were getting inventive with
how we were going to get our
486
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:51,000
guys open in the passing game.
I just keep going back to.
487
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Where the hell is this Ben?
All right, don't know why?
488
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:59,500
We're, we're emptying the
playbook for Duke brought Brian.
489
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:02,000
Let's do it.
Brian has a juxtaposition.
490
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,300
Brian.
Is a little heated. so go ahead,
491
00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:10,900
Brian and it's not just this
year things like every year
492
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:16,300
under this coaching staff, well,
it seems like every year we have
493
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:23,600
the bad game followed up by
something like this, right?
494
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,700
We've had, you know, pit and
then we follow that up.
495
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:33,000
We've got this game, we follow
it up.
496
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,500
I mean, I'm just I'm a little
confused that we last year.
497
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:41,900
We've had some gains very
similar to that the essentially
498
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,900
the entire month of November and
December.
499
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:48,900
Then we get Eva like Like, why
can't we?
500
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
So essentially win the games
that we should win.
501
00:31:55,900 --> 00:31:57,800
All the time.
Well Brian.
502
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Most of the time, right?
Go back.
503
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,100
Go back to the first year.
The lawsuit of Syracuse in the
504
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,500
dome.
Yeah, not like a one or two
505
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,000
point got just got smashed.
You know what that you remember?
506
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,800
What the next game was?
What was that with the Miami
507
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,100
game that first year?
Miami game, where we absolutely
508
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,200
curb stomp them?
Yeah, and let's talk about Miami
509
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,900
game.
That was the game after Duke in
510
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:24,400
2019 where we get blown out by
Duke and then we go out and
511
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,300
shock.
Miami.
512
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,100
Nobody gave us a chance and that
game.
513
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,000
No, not at all.
Not at all.
514
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:36,000
So it's just one of those weird
things where it's like, it's an
515
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,500
Mo of this coaching staff, just
like, we're going to have a
516
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:45,500
really bad game, like just bad
bad in all aspects.
517
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,500
Do some really screwed up
things.
518
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:52,700
Within the next week we're going
to make the fans us included.
519
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,500
Right?
Where, where, where was this?
520
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,900
This year?
We get to say, where was this
521
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:00,500
there in multiple games?
I just, where was this?
522
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:04,800
Last week even though we get a
direct correlation back to last
523
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,900
week.
So hopefully what's the feel is
524
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:12,900
it's not to more much more of
this Braun.
525
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Hopefully they can carry the
momentum to Miami which is going
526
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:22,800
to be a night game down at Miami
730, kick right. 738 CC Network
527
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
kick.
So good times on that Brian.
528
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Let's flip, let's talk about the
defense for a few minutes here
529
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,400
for we get a few more things,
popped up.
530
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,700
We About Gunnar Holmberg.
Daughter Holmberg ruled out the
531
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,200
last second root out, but fully
dress.
532
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,900
I'm guessing he was there
emergency emergency QB,
533
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:42,500
emergency quarterback.
If everybody was injured, they
534
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:45,100
will essentially, the guys, they
had the two other guys.
535
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:49,300
They had he would have came in
essentially good enough to play,
536
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:53,100
but not good enough, where you
felt like, he could go a full
537
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:58,900
game of getting pounded on.
So, smart - I mean it benefited
538
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:00,500
us.
I mean, definitely, they.
539
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,600
They took some of their teeth
out of the passing game.
540
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:07,200
Yep.
But of course, we was two more
541
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,300
athletic quarterbacks, right?
Whole bars?
542
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:12,699
They're like here.
Riley, Leonard's like here and
543
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:13,800
Morgan.
Finally King.
544
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,600
It's like here.
So it was clearly something,
545
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,199
where if he was dressed, he just
hadn't probably.
546
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,800
He probably hadn't done any of
the lead-up.
547
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:28,900
It probably just, and more
probably had just been Leonard
548
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,100
and that's Tire, you know,
credit to our credit though,
549
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,300
having those guys And we still
held them under a hundred yards
550
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:40,300
below their average.
Yeah.
551
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,900
Well, over a hundred yards below
their average.
552
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:46,800
And then on the money Downs,
they we show up again.
553
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,699
Unlike BC, there's back to the
juxtaposition, they were 5 for
554
00:34:50,707 --> 00:34:56,400
19, they were Dreadful on third,
and fourth downs, and it's why
555
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,800
we sort of dominated the game.
Yeah, definitely one of our
556
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,900
better defensive performances of
the year.
557
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,600
I put it at least in kind of the
top three there.
558
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:08,800
Nothing.
Nothing will really match what
559
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,600
we did Week, 1 against you and
see.
560
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:14,800
We really, really peaked early
defensively.
561
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:17,700
And it's been a kind of up and
down back half.
562
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:22,400
But this this was one of the the
better better games for us.
563
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,800
And it started with the guys
inside at the the linebacker
564
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:34,400
position Dax hollifield, Alan
Tisdale probably the overall
565
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000
best games they've had.
You're definitely the best games
566
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,700
they've had in the in the month
of October and November.
567
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:47,400
Yeah, you know tackling well,
they attack has four laws.
568
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,000
Have some sacks.
Tisdale was in there making some
569
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:55,800
making some noise to acts had
some, some key stops on some key
570
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,300
Downs.
So you love to see that d-line
571
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,100
got pressure all day, didn't
didn't really get to finish
572
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:05,300
those but they definitely put
the quarterbacks and some bad
573
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,300
spot.
It's some errant throws some
574
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:11,100
throws, you know, released
sooner than they were ready
575
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:16,000
off-target things like that.
Forced a lot of throws on the
576
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
run and a lot of throws just
getting the rid of the ball
577
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,500
because they ran out of time.
Oh absolutely.
578
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:24,700
And the other thing both the
front half did altogether.
579
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:28,900
Mateo Durant was not a factor of
1,000 yard running back was no
580
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:35,000
Factor.
He only had ten carries and one
581
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
of the other running backs, we
did not mention the other week,
582
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,000
but Trent Davis was out there
more because he's more pass
583
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,300
catcher.
Yeah, so yeah they really had to
584
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:46,800
I had to go away from their game
plan and really with with the
585
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,100
quarterbacks they had in there,
they would have much preferred
586
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:54,700
to stick with a with a run first
offense and we got them out of
587
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:57,600
that real quick.
Oh yes we did.
588
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:01,500
But we guess we did now there
was one time near the end of the
589
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:06,100
game where they did get home
didn't derail Pollard in Taiwan
590
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:10,000
Garbutt.
Pollard gets the strip sack and
591
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
then Garbutt picks it up.
Runs it into the end zone.
592
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,700
The game was well, in hand at
that point, but that was, let's
593
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:18,400
just a great explanation point
that they were still playing
594
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,500
hard to the end.
Yeah.
595
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:24,300
And I like that this was even
though it didn't happen in the
596
00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:27,200
first half.
Like I wanted where we were Meg
597
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,600
aggressive in the two-minute
drill to from the jump.
598
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:36,500
Instead of, you know, once we
got one big play there, I like
599
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:39,400
that in the second half we
didn't take our foot off the gas
600
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,300
pedal.
That's been different than
601
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:45,400
really any other game.
I've seen this year, we weren't
602
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,500
content with just having a
double-digit lead.
603
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:49,900
We weren't just going to sit on
that.
604
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:53,800
We were going to keep going.
I think it might be the first
605
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,800
time all year I have to go back
and look but it feels like it's
606
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,400
the first time all year second
half we scored more points in
607
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,200
first half.
Yeah, maybe a middle Tennessee.
608
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,800
Might have been the only other
one where made of Middle
609
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,500
Tennessee and that was mainly
because the first half was such
610
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,900
a downer.
Yeah.
611
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:15,000
West Virginia to, but the
Western, and I think the point
612
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,200
we're trying to make is we had
points on the board.
613
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,900
We had the game under control
instead of playing conservative
614
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,700
and kept attacking, kept
attacking, kept attacked those
615
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:26,900
other games were either closed
or where we were down going into
616
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:28,100
half.
Yeah.
617
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:31,800
Whereas in this case, we had a
pretty decent Lead, taking it to
618
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,200
the half and we said we're not
done.
619
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:35,900
All right?
Yep.
620
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:39,600
Only ask you one question.
More on what Jordan wore did
621
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,800
really near the end of the game?
I know we were rotating guys in
622
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,000
and out does it give you any
pause for concern with the Run
623
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,900
game of how he looked?
And I know the last two guys
624
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:54,700
with Van Dyken potentially
burning Armstrong aren't that.
625
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,800
But just in general, if we
start, if we keep this similar
626
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:05,300
defense going in 2022, I think
it'll be okay.
627
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:07,400
I think I think there's some
tweaks that still need to
628
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,100
happen.
I think the overall scheme is
629
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:12,900
still a work in progress.
I think we did see we have seen
630
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:17,400
overall progression from year
one to year two in this defense.
631
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,300
You know the question is going
to be is this going to be our
632
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:25,000
defense going into into next
year or not?
633
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,800
But When we talk about the next
two games though.
634
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,200
You know, we are looking at guys
that can run the football and
635
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,300
they both can throw the ball.
Assuming both of them are
636
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:43,100
playing in those games and
that's going to be the struggle,
637
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,100
right?
We have struggled with with guys
638
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,400
that even weren't the best
thrower.
639
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,300
If they could run in throw, even
if they were get the ball, more
640
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,800
down, feel like a Schrader we
struggled there.
641
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,400
So we'll see how that works out.
We know Armstrong is more of a
642
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,600
throw first player even though.
He is an athlete Van Dyke, a
643
00:40:04,607 --> 00:40:07,400
little bit of the same, right.
So they're both still throw
644
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,900
first where a Schrader was was
more of a run-and-gun deep type
645
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,100
type quarterback.
So we'll see if that plays more
646
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:18,000
into our defense has favored or
not.
647
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,100
But yeah, it's definitely
something to be concerned about
648
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:23,100
but we'll look into it.
I'm sure they'll have some new
649
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:28,400
wrinkles and adjustments to
counter some of what UVA in
650
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,900
Miami do absolutely.
Before we get, It into just one
651
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:36,500
more piece.
Why they throwing so many flags
652
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:39,100
on Jermaine wall?
Or for just playing defense, and
653
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,600
why is the Umpire get in the way
and then the back judge, don't
654
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,400
want to flag on it.
Yep.
655
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:50,600
That was the worst because the
the Umpire was in the way which
656
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,100
made the receiver, stop his
route.
657
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:58,600
Instead of diving for the
football, he stops his route and
658
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,100
that and Waller was already
essentially reading the play as
659
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:06,400
if he was going down for the
ball and now you got a receiver
660
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,400
that's like right up on you.
I don't like that.
661
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,300
You know, there was three flags
on and probably only one was
662
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,100
actually legitimately pass
interference.
663
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,000
What haven't been over hand
fighting?
664
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,900
And he literally it literally
the way it looked.
665
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:26,300
It was like at the last second,
his arm was extended right
666
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:28,200
before Bobo's was extended and
they throw it.
667
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,600
It's just like they're fighting,
that's not a flag.
668
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:35,300
Again, we talked about the ACC
officials.
669
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:38,900
We know they don't like to throw
the flags very much in the pie,
670
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:42,300
but when they do, it's very
inconsistent.
671
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,900
Austin, I think that's the
problem, you know?
672
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:46,500
If if you're not going to throw
it be consistent, if you're
673
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:51,100
going to throw it be consistent,
I don't care so much one way or
674
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:53,400
the other.
I just want you to be consistent
675
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,500
that way, you know.
Predictable outcomes, right?
676
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,200
Yeah.
Any shock to you how much he
677
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,600
covered by the being 65 220.
I mean, he's done.
678
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Well, have been against bigger
receivers in the past?
679
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,700
So I mean, I don't think that
was too shocking, he definitely
680
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:14,500
held Bobo.
In check.
681
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:18,200
Yeah.
In just three catches for a
682
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,000
little over 30 yards.
Yeah.
683
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,300
All those lower output games all
year reception and we know we
684
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,900
did they didn't have the best
best, quarterbacks pulling the
685
00:42:27,908 --> 00:42:31,200
trigger there, but at the same
time, you know, he held him in
686
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:37,300
check, even when he had time, he
was there in coverage, so Shout
687
00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:43,100
out to Waller great game.
Continuing another great season
688
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,800
here for him.
Yes, he is.
689
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,000
All right, we're on before we
take a break and then come back
690
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
with some stuff you've been
digging up.
691
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:54,000
I wanted to kind of go over the
defensive rankings because okay,
692
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:58,500
I don't know if everybody looks
like it's something I followed,
693
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:02,800
but let's go ahead, scoring.
We are 32 in the country were
694
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:08,500
given up 21 game compared to
last year, Leaps and Bounds
695
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,700
better than we were last year
Leaps and Bounds.
696
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:20,700
Not even question, we are a top
15 passing defense but the run
697
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:25,200
defense is still struggling over
103 yards or excuse me, 130
698
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:32,200
You're over 186 yards, the Red
Zone D, still struggling at 99
699
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:34,500
but there is something I
noticed.
700
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,900
And I know you've been talking
about this with the new scheme
701
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:41,900
where in how many, how many Red
Zone trips?
702
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,400
Do you think we've had this
year?
703
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,100
I'm not safe.
You, I'd say significantly fewer
704
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,100
than last year.
It is.
705
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:55,600
It's only 23.
And and the numbers are getting
706
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,100
a little bit.
Better 17 touchdowns to six
707
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:01,300
field goals, but only 23 trips
where, when I was digging
708
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:04,700
through the data, there are
teams that are like UVA, has
709
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,700
over forty four trips into the
Red Zone against them.
710
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:13,000
Over forty four trips and
they're giving up like 75% of
711
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,100
the time, the score and they're
ranked higher than us.
712
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:20,900
But it's also like but you've
also let teams get double the
713
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:25,600
times into the 20-yard line that
says something because if
714
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,800
they're getting down and you're
scoring and they're scoring as
715
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,200
75% clip and the other we're
only we're giving up 80 but
716
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,500
you're only getting there two
times a game, it helps.
717
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,900
Total Defense, 60.
Where would you give them a
718
00:44:40,908 --> 00:44:45,200
grade right now?
Defense in general.
719
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,200
I'd say it's somewhere in that
b-minus c-plus range.
720
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,500
I'd probably go see.
Plus, I'd like to see the Red
721
00:44:54,500 --> 00:45:00,800
Zone improve in terms of stops
and especially forcing the feel.
722
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,700
I, we definitely need Force more
field goals, you know, you're
723
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,800
rarely going to give get a ton
of true stops there, but we need
724
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:14,300
to definitely be closer to that,
you know, 65 70 percent in terms
725
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:20,500
of force and field goals there.
Now when we talk about the
726
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:25,700
running, the rush defense that
that's concerning but we have
727
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:29,600
done a good job of stopping the
bleeding throughout drives.
728
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,300
A lot of the big gains are
coming early in the drive and
729
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:36,900
then we're settling in and then
getting off the field.
730
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:41,100
You know, the problem is that
when they do get in the Red Zone
731
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,500
that's when the rush defense
should be bowing up a little bit
732
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:48,500
and it hasn't Yeah, so I think I
think that's that's more
733
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:52,100
concerning than necessarily.
The fact that they're getting a
734
00:45:52,107 --> 00:45:57,700
bunch of yards there.
And we really only had what like
735
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:01,400
to to bad defense leg bad
defensive games.
736
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:08,700
Yeah, Syracuse and Syracuse and
Notre Dame with the too bad
737
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:12,600
defensive games.
Yeah, Notre Dame, it was really,
738
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,200
it was like a it was like the be
- game until the end of the game
739
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,300
and then it was the f - it went
from like Hey we're doing okay,
740
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:27,700
too.
What do we just put on the field
741
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:29,400
for two drives at the end of the
game?
742
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:31,600
Yeah, so you had you had two bad
games.
743
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,700
You had to and games like pit
pit probably goes in that
744
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:42,000
category you share.
I mean pit was scored over 50.
745
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,300
We home to 28 it's a a game
because the offense just
746
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,700
couldn't do anything.
I'm talking about the rush
747
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,600
defense.
Oh yeah, yeah, right Stephen's.
748
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,200
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my bad
man.
749
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:53,300
Yeah.
Yeah, they shouldn't be able to
750
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:54,600
run the ball like that against
us.
751
00:46:56,900 --> 00:47:00,500
Got it.
Now they held Kenny Pickett as
752
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:02,400
much in.
Check is pretty much any defense
753
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:08,200
has this year, but we gave up
too many yards in the Run game.
754
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,100
Couldn't stop.
Couldn't set the edge.
755
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:13,900
Well, outside containing the
running game was awful extended
756
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:17,700
drives when it shouldn't have.
So that was the problem that
757
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:21,300
game but like I said, I'd
probably go see plus B, minus
758
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:25,600
range overall, definitely the
strength of the team outside of
759
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,600
special teams this year.
And we finally had a couple
760
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,700
games in here in the last few
weeks where, you know, offense
761
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:38,300
and defense showed up a little
bit at the same time, especially
762
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:40,300
against Duke.
Finally looks like four
763
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:43,300
quarters.
Yeah, both sides of the ball
764
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:45,500
doing pretty well.
Closed.
765
00:47:45,500 --> 00:47:48,800
In the Georgia Tech game about
1/4 was all for the offense at
766
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,600
Georgia Tech was that way too.
And, you know what?
767
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,300
The next two games were going to
need it.
768
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:56,000
We're going to need eight
quarters of everybody being on
769
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,600
the same page.
Just Just to get to a bowl game
770
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,000
and to get to a bowl game for
these kids who did not get one
771
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,600
last year as there is some
normalcy this year, you're going
772
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,300
to probably see bowls or
probably going to get to go
773
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:09,800
early.
There's gonna be some protocols
774
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,400
but you hope we can.
I want to pull both out.
775
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,400
And then like watch chaos happen
and we like make the ACC
776
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,500
Championship game and would have
to say we go shoot, what do we
777
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:23,300
do?
What do we do?
778
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:24,100
What do we do?
What do we do?
779
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:25,000
What do we do?
What do we do?
780
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,900
It'll be in.
Yeah, yeah, foresee that
781
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:32,000
happening but yeah, only it
could still happen.
782
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,400
I definitely want to see us.
I definitely want to see us win
783
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,800
out here, regardless of what
happens on that front because
784
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,000
both of these games are rivalry
games, both of these games
785
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,100
matter on the recruiting Trail.
There's there's a lot riding on
786
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:47,300
this.
That has nothing to do with,
787
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,200
who's the head coach next year,
100%, 100%.
788
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,600
All right.
Brian, before we get into
789
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:55,900
another topic tonight.
We are going to take a quick
790
00:48:55,900 --> 00:49:00,800
pause for a message from our
digital partners because we take
791
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,600
a quick break.
We'd like to tell you about
792
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,100

Now back to the episode Alright
799
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,400
guys, what we're looking at
tonight in kind of a discussion,
800
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:34,700
everybody might McDaniels over
at sons of Saturday and hokey
801
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:38,400
hangover podcast.
Released a tweet this week,
802
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,500
talking about sport Eco in their
College Athletic Department
803
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:47,200
financial data base.
I thought I picked at it.
804
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:52,600
But the big guy out of here.
What are they saying?
805
00:49:53,300 --> 00:49:58,200
I went down the rabbit hole for
multiple days.
806
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:02,800
Yeah.
Brian, I'm going to just assume
807
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:08,500
that you looked a lot of VT.
I looked a lot at Virginia Tech.
808
00:50:08,500 --> 00:50:11,000
Absolutely that's where I
started and then I started
809
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:16,600
looking at other ACC teams and
then comp teams and other
810
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:26,600
conferences all right, so I mean
are we 1 to 10?
811
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,300
Where we bring?
Let's do that first one to 10.
812
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,800
Are we terrible or we average
and we slightly above average or
813
00:50:34,700 --> 00:50:36,900
what would you say?
So we're kind of in the bottom
814
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:42,600
end and overall Revenue in the
ACC that probably shouldn't
815
00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:44,800
shouldn't shocky that many
people.
816
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,000
But when you look, I think it's,
when you look at the breakdowns
817
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,100
that's where some of the story
gets told.
818
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:53,300
So I'm gonna throw something up
real.
819
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,600
Quick here for the folks
watching just to give you an
820
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,300
idea of what we're looking at,
what I was looking at.
821
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:05,400
And so this is the, can I say
one thing down?
822
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:09,400
Yes, he one thing, if you're
listening to this on the podcast
823
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:16,700
on on tomorrow Tuesday or
Wednesday at about 52 minutes.
824
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:19,100
If you go to our YouTube page,
you'll be able to see the
825
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:20,900
documents primers are bringing
up.
826
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,000
Yep.
So What?
827
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,800
Right now I'm just we're
focusing on revenues here,
828
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:32,900
obviously expenses matter, but I
was more curious about money
829
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:35,400
coming in.
Then I was about, you know what,
830
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,200
it's getting spent on.
So like I said, we got, we got
831
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,600
the chart here, you know, breaks
it down by different buckets of
832
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,800
where the revenues coming from.
It breaks it down over, on the
833
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:55,300
left hand, side of the chart of
you know where What sport or in
834
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:58,900
this, in this case, also
nonspecific not sport-specific.
835
00:51:58,900 --> 00:52:02,200
So, like just a general
scholarship type situation where
836
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,800
that money is being spent or
where that money's allocated to,
837
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,200
in terms of the budget.
And there's there's several
838
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,300
takeaways here.
So I'm going to go ahead and pop
839
00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:15,800
this off your and just start
talking a little bit more here.
840
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,700
So let's start with Virginia
Tech's numbers, and I'm going to
841
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:22,100
break this into good bad and
ugly.
842
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,000
We're going Spaghetti spaghetti
western here always.
843
00:52:28,700 --> 00:52:35,900
So we'll start with the good.
We are better than every other
844
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:39,100
ACC team in terms of media
rights.
845
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,800
And that's that's based on
obviously this is just public
846
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:44,700
schools because it's just public
data.
847
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,100
So we don't have Wake Forest
numbers.
848
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:50,100
We don't have Miami numbers.
We don't have pit numbers.
849
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:52,400
We don't have BC numbers, we
don't have sit there.
850
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,700
There's a, it's not yet.
It is not public.
851
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:59,000
Well, I do know.
Yep.
852
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,200
So no wake, no Duke.
So there's a lot of numbers that
853
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,200
we don't have probably half the
ACC that we don't have, but in
854
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,700
terms of the ones we do, we're
at the top and meteorites
855
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,100
overall.
So across all sports, why do you
856
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:20,900
think it is?
I mean that that like I think
857
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:25,000
meteorites I think well good
Lord, where we're down, tucked
858
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,400
in Southwest Virginia where
someone like Simpson is notes,
859
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:33,200
north of Greenville, South of
Charlotte.
860
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:36,600
You think, you know, UVA
Charlottesville is a pretty good
861
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,800
metro area only in about, you
know, an hour west of Richmond.
862
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,800
Why do you think we're one of
the better media deals?
863
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,700
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I don't know if that has
864
00:53:46,700 --> 00:53:51,300
something to do with the ACC
Network having a studio in lane
865
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:54,000
or any other factor, that that's
related to that.
866
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,100
But we do better than every
other school.
867
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,800
In the ACC public wise in terms
of those meteorites.
868
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,300
And that's taking into account
that the ACC media deal is
869
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:12,600
absolutely the worst.
In all the power 5, even Pac-12
870
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,800
is your average school has a
little is generating more
871
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,300
revenue and meteorites than your
average ACC schools.
872
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:23,900
So if we can get that worked
out, that bucket is going to go
873
00:54:23,900 --> 00:54:26,600
up across the board.
So it'll go for Virginia Tech as
874
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,300
well.
And you know, it starts with
875
00:54:29,300 --> 00:54:32,800
getting Comcast on board, with
the ACC Network, it starts with
876
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:38,300
better deal in terms of the
actual Financial figures per
877
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:47,200
School in the deal overall.
So that's the good, the bad, the
878
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,400
bad while, not the bottom of the
conference, in terms of
879
00:54:51,408 --> 00:54:55,000
donations, we are behind key
competitors.
880
00:54:56,100 --> 00:55:00,100
We are behind UVA.
Clemson FSU Louisville.
881
00:55:00,700 --> 00:55:03,800
And we're pretty much squared up
with UNC and that's again,
882
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,400
that's donations across all
sports.
883
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,500
So we're not just looking at
football, we're looking at
884
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:12,600
across all sports.
We're a shade better in
885
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:18,200
football, then then we are in
overall, but it's not, it's
886
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,000
negligible this.
Now let's say that this is 1920,
887
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,100
right?
This is 1920.
888
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,600
Yes, they don't have the the
fiscal information for the last
889
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,900
Last calendar year.
Yeah, we're getting scooped onto
890
00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:33,800
gifted.
Yeah, yeah.
891
00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:38,000
Well so and I know donations
have been trending up.
892
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,400
So we might be, we may be firmly
ahead of UNC, although UNC has
893
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,300
been on a big donation, push as
well so they may have matched us
894
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:50,200
there with some of the things
Mac has been doing.
895
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,100
Even though it hasn't translated
to wins like they like on the
896
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:57,000
field, but they have been making
a big push in recruiting and
897
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,400
that tends to help.
With donations and things like
898
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,100
that.
So more than likely, we're
899
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:06,900
probably pretty, pretty squared
up with you and see still, but
900
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:10,300
having UVA and obviously
Louisville most of thats
901
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:14,400
basketball.
Yeah, they're not doing a whole
902
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,300
lot on the football front, that
that's the team that we just we
903
00:56:17,300 --> 00:56:22,000
jump UVA, and, and Louisville.
When you just look at football
904
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:27,600
donations, okay, but overall,
we're lagging behind where
905
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:32,800
Almost 10 million behind
Louisville, in overall donations
906
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,900
and eight million behind.
Sorry, seven million behind UVA
907
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:39,100
and overall donations.
But the whole thing about
908
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:41,700
thinking over all donations
Brian, isn't it?
909
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,800
If their overall donating more
money to whatever sport Football
910
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,900
is the biggest pie.
So if there's some booster and
911
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:54,300
UVA getting two million to the
basketball program, the two
912
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,600
million that might come out of
the big media rights deal for
913
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,200
football.
We don't have to pay that over
914
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,300
there boosters taken care of it
with the big donation, right?
915
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,400
Yeah.
And when we looked at the chart
916
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,400
earlier, I've been the majority
of our donations or non
917
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,500
sport-specific so that's getting
divvied up on some degree of
918
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:17,000
percentage rate and that's
driving me five that's the drive
919
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,100
for 45 campaign.
Yeah.
920
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:21,600
And Clemson had a very similar
thing where they weren't
921
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,500
crushing Us in football
donations.
922
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:26,700
But if Tey it, we're going to
get to that in a second is like
923
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:34,100
out of the fucking ball park.
So now let's get to the ugly.
924
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:39,500
This is the one that I again I
need to look into more of where
925
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:44,300
Where this is going and what
we're doing.
926
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:51,100
But Licensing and ads.
We are behind pretty much
927
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:54,300
everyone in the ACC and the rest
of power 5.
928
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,800
We are ungodly low in this
bucket.
929
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Like we're just over two
million, most of the rest of the
930
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,000
ACC is eight million and up.
So I'm not sure.
931
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:13,100
Yeah, I'm not sure what we are
not doing or doing wrong in
932
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:18,700
this, this sector.
But that that is the biggest
933
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:24,100
area that we are lagging behind.
Even the bottom feeders in the
934
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:30,900
ACC in terms of Revenue?
Well, that mean to me, I would
935
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:34,500
say here that my first thought
is what we're in, Southwest
936
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:38,000
Virginia.
The biggest Metro city is
937
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,200
rolling up, north the other big
metros that we have so much.
938
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:47,500
Relationship with our hours upon
hours away.
939
00:58:48,300 --> 00:58:51,200
Yeah.
And there's also, there's also
940
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:57,900
other institutions that Our kind
of home basis for for those
941
00:58:57,900 --> 00:58:59,300
schools as well.
Right?
942
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,500
Well, it's true.
Car loan going off.
943
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:09,700
One moment.
Not my car alarm.
944
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:14,100
There we go.
Probably somebody sitting on a
945
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:17,200
key in their living rooms Show.
Ladies and Gentlemen, live show
946
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:24,800
what happens on but I think
we're it may show a real concern
947
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:30,500
is DC is one of the biggest
alumni markets.
948
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:33,300
Yep.
There's opportunity there
949
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:39,100
Charlotte Atlanta Richmond, the
75 and the beach Area.
950
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,600
Raleigh Winston-Salem you have
these Pockets where there are a
951
00:59:43,607 --> 00:59:49,500
ton of alumni?
Why aren't we attempting to get
952
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,000
some licensing and ads in those
areas?
953
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,300
Where there's something there to
sell.
954
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:58,700
Yeah, I don't know if this is
just the Classic VT running, the
955
00:59:58,700 --> 01:00:00,900
mom and pop organization on the
financial side.
956
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:05,300
In some cases where, you know,
we become mature in some areas
957
01:00:05,300 --> 01:00:10,300
of that and then others still
seem like they're stuck in, you
958
01:00:10,300 --> 01:00:14,500
know, the late 90s in terms of
how they go about the business.
959
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:18,100
So I don't know if it's more of
a combination of that or what
960
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,400
but that is that's where we are
giving up the most ground to
961
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:26,900
everyone else in our Yeah, and
because this looks not enough,
962
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:28,000
is it?
It's not enough for the
963
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,600
meteorites to compensate know,
so, just because we're tops in
964
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,400
meteorites, that's not
compensating for that drop off
965
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:41,900
and then, you know, donations
are only, you know, like we
966
01:00:41,900 --> 01:00:44,200
said, middle-of-the-road
overall.
967
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,600
So they're not bad, they're not
hurting us, but they're not
968
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,500
acting as a benefit and when you
talk about not just in the
969
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:56,400
conference but when you Look at
all of power 5, you know, when
970
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,500
you're competing against those
schools, especially ones that
971
01:00:59,500 --> 01:01:03,800
have those better media deals
donations become a bigger role
972
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,400
because they are something that
if you get the right motivation,
973
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:11,700
is easier to start stacking in
the bucket, right?
974
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,800
So, that's where we talked about
donations and saying donations,
975
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,900
e to improve.
Yeah, that's the easiest to
976
01:01:18,900 --> 01:01:21,500
improve.
So that's why it's pushed.
977
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:28,900
But so one of the thing I did
was look at some other schools
978
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:32,200
that we compare against and the
one I kept landing on based in
979
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,900
this was mostly based on kind of
historical, at least recent
980
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:40,400
history of the success of the
programs and the overall alumni
981
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,600
base, they're very similar.
So that's Michigan State
982
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,300
University.
And in terms of donations,
983
01:01:48,700 --> 01:01:51,900
pretty much right on the same
ballpark as Virginia Tech in
984
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:57,100
terms of the the The revenue in
the 1920 year for donations
985
01:01:57,100 --> 01:02:01,800
right at the 21 and a half
million range, okay.
986
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:07,800
But, but they are kicking our
butts in the in the one area we
987
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,800
suffer in and actually in also
in the area that we are best in.
988
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:17,100
So this this shows you how much
better the Big Ten deal is than
989
01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:22,800
the ACC meteorites for Michigan
State University.
990
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:27,500
Are 16 million higher.
So they are in the 44 million
991
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,500
and change range.
Good gracious.
992
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:35,100
Yeah.
Then you've got licensing ads.
993
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:41,100
They are 16 and a half million
so they are 14 million higher
994
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:47,000
than Virginia Tech in that one.
Budgetary bucket.
995
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:53,900
And those are the two buckets
where if you sum up, is actually
996
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:57,200
making up the difference between
our overall revenues because the
997
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,700
overall Revenue difference is
just over 30 million Virginia
998
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:06,000
Tech just under 100 million in
Michigan State, just over 130
999
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,900
million.
So those two areas the
1000
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:11,900
meteorites in the licensing and
ads are where the big
1001
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:15,400
differences.
Well, you're saying 30 overall
1002
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,300
and I'm just pulling this up
here, Brian.
1003
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:21,000
Now, if you want to pull it up
on the screen, Their total
1004
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:27,300
revenues 130 million, that's it
saying, because if you think
1005
01:03:27,300 --> 01:03:31,000
about where he and I'm, and I'm
going back and I'm, as you were
1006
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,000
saying all this, I'm pulling up
a map here about where East
1007
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,300
Lansing Michigan is East
Lansing.
1008
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:40,200
Michigan is about two hours West
of Detroit.
1009
01:03:40,700 --> 01:03:45,000
They're not Ann Arbor is
literally 45 minutes outside.
1010
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,900
We're Michigan is so that
license in hand Revenue?
1011
01:03:50,100 --> 01:03:54,400
Says a lot to me because I don't
know.
1012
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,900
They're not in a super rural
Grand Rapids has a couple hours
1013
01:03:57,900 --> 01:04:03,500
West they are there more in a I
don't know what you'd call it
1014
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:08,100
may be greater metro area where
you're going to hit CDs here and
1015
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:11,900
there.
But to have that sort of like,
1016
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:17,500
as in an ads, concerns me, can
you pull up and tell me just
1017
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:20,900
what the license and and
football are Because I want to
1018
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:23,700
see the difference there because
I mean, obviously, Michigan.
1019
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:26,500
State has is a Michigan State.
Basketball has been on the map
1020
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:29,100
for 25 years.
What's the difference in
1021
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:35,700
licensing?
Ad for football compared to So
1022
01:04:35,700 --> 01:04:37,500
for Virginia Tech.
Yeah.
1023
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:41,500
Alright, let's let's take a look
here.
1024
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:52,300
So, football is essentially a
little over half of that total,
1025
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,300
most of it.
Most of the rest goes into non
1026
01:04:56,300 --> 01:05:00,200
sport-specific, so I'm guessing
just general licensing of
1027
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:06,100
apparel and things like that.
Okay, so you like the other
1028
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:09,700
sport specific.
So like, if you would go out
1029
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:14,000
there and harshly, push the 1999
jerseys or some of the Pro
1030
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:19,300
Combat Uniforms from, Mid 2000's
or the early 2010's.
1031
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,600
So, in Michigan state has a very
classic uniform, right?
1032
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,700
You don't see them, go crazy all
of a sudden.
1033
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,000
Yeah, but they come sit here.
Thinking are we missing the
1034
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,800
opportunities there?
Where they're not.
1035
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:37,300
It's possible.
I I don't again they they don't
1036
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:42,800
separate this out ads versus
licensing so I'm not sure what
1037
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,400
what Michigan state is doing.
Well that we're not doing I just
1038
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,900
know that we're not doing doing
this to any degree that any
1039
01:05:49,900 --> 01:05:53,500
other power 5 school is.
So I don't think just geographic
1040
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:57,500
region has anything to do with
the hindrance there because
1041
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,600
there are other schools that
have a similar.
1042
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:08,300
You know, Geographic footprint
that are doing much better.
1043
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,600
Yeah.
And I like the way Braun because
1044
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,600
I can see the next two bronze.
I'm talking about here.
1045
01:06:13,700 --> 01:06:15,900
I like the way you pulled one
out of another conference
1046
01:06:16,500 --> 01:06:20,500
because when we think Michigan
State football, we are kind of
1047
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:22,400
on equals with them 20 years
ago.
1048
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,200
We were well ahead of them. 15
years ago, we were home in years
1049
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:26,400
ago.
We were well ahead of them.
1050
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,800
Five years ago is when you know
they made the playoffs, they've
1051
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,500
been more of a power than what
we've been.
1052
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:38,300
And I also think if you know,
you think about Michigan State
1053
01:06:38,300 --> 01:06:44,000
University, you know land-grant
school right down at about the
1054
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:52,000
same time back in the 1870s.
So age-wise, same age, same type
1055
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,800
donor base, so, you know and
like I said, overall alumni base
1056
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,600
is about the same.
They're a little A bit heavier
1057
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,900
and donations or like I said a
pretty much flat.
1058
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:04,100
I think actually Virginia Tech
has a small overall advantage in
1059
01:07:04,100 --> 01:07:06,900
donations, compared to Michigan
State.
1060
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,500
But again, they're making up for
that in those meteorites and
1061
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:15,500
Licensing and ads and then some,
but let's go ahead and turn back
1062
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:17,500
to the ACC.
And we're going to look at the
1063
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:21,700
obvious.
One here, Clemson and right off
1064
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:23,900
the bat, this one shot me.
I know what shocked you when I
1065
01:07:23,908 --> 01:07:25,900
put it on the, on the screen
there yet.
1066
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,300
Ginny attack. + 10 million on
Clemson in meteorites.
1067
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:37,000
Well, I can't explain that one.
They're close to made Metro
1068
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,800
areas there a Big Brand right
now.
1069
01:07:41,100 --> 01:07:44,800
They're a Big Brand where you
think they could be selling
1070
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,000
things in these meteorites for
so many different other
1071
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,500
opportunity.
Good Lord, a Disney movie made,
1072
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:57,100
ya know that get some distance
and again this is 1920 so that
1073
01:07:57,100 --> 01:08:00,300
would probably be in either.
Last year's numbers are going
1074
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:04,200
into next year's numbers but in
general.
1075
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:09,000
Yeah in general you would think
Clemson has has been in a
1076
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,200
situation where there meteorites
would be at least Least in the
1077
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,100
ballpark of Virginia Tech,
right?
1078
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,399
But they're not now football
those numbers are pretty even
1079
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,100
and actually Virginia Tech still
has a small Advantage there but
1080
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:23,600
but more or less.
They're even there.
1081
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,000
They're losing the ground in the
other sorts.
1082
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:30,000
Well, which kind of makes sense.
Yeah, we've all heard about the
1083
01:08:30,008 --> 01:08:33,100
donations in that campaign.
How much is that plus minus or
1084
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:34,899
Plus?
All right.
1085
01:08:34,899 --> 01:08:39,300
So the difference between
Clemson and really any other
1086
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:43,500
school is that they make up for
it in two areas and the biggest
1087
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:46,200
one is donations where they
double us up.
1088
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:55,100
So how much is a number?
They are at 44 million in
1089
01:08:55,100 --> 01:09:02,000
donations that in most of that
is the non sport-specific.
1090
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,899
Ipped a fundraising drive that
they have ran up to great
1091
01:09:08,899 --> 01:09:14,000
success.
And like I said, doubling up,
1092
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,800
Virginia Tech in that bucket is
significant, but they're also
1093
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,000
plus 10 million in licensing and
ads.
1094
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,600
So they're at that kind of 12
and a half million range.
1095
01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:27,899
They also do something that not
every public ACC institution
1096
01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:31,700
does and they actually have a
significant direct institutional
1097
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:37,200
support where they give five
million directly to their
1098
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:41,100
athletic department in direct
institutional support, whereas
1099
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:45,600
Virginia Tech It is in the like
bear, like 2,000.
1100
01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:50,200
It's a very small figure wasn't
the president of that school.
1101
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:57,400
Made the decision back a few
years ago that they were going
1102
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,200
to go all in.
It's out like by giving five to
1103
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,900
six million dollars.
It helps, right.
1104
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,000
Yeah.
The only other school that gives
1105
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,100
direct more as FSU in terms of
the publicly available
1106
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:13,500
information.
Okay, not helping them a lot
1107
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:17,700
now, but still it's a good.
But notes here here's the ones
1108
01:10:17,700 --> 01:10:22,600
that Here's the one I want to
talk about, let's I want to look
1109
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,800
at the donations, the direct
institutional support.
1110
01:10:26,300 --> 01:10:27,900
You got to have a president that
will in the write.
1111
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:34,300
Those checks, out of the out of
certain funds, to say here's 10
1112
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:42,700
million, the life incentive that
things, you know, makes sense,
1113
01:10:42,700 --> 01:10:45,400
right?
Last ten years, they won
1114
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:50,500
multiple national titles, tons
of NFL players, then you can go
1115
01:10:50,500 --> 01:10:52,900
actually go.
But here's the thing.
1116
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:55,300
The brand is out there.
Yes, yes.
1117
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,100
The brand somewhat cells Excel
itself.
1118
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:02,800
Yeah, here's the thing where I
think Virginia Tech has to
1119
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,700
figure out what it's doing
wrong.
1120
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:07,900
You know, the difference between
the amount of living alumni for
1121
01:11:07,900 --> 01:11:11,600
both schools, it's pretty
significant.
1122
01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:14,900
It is Clemson's.
And about 150,000 Virginia
1123
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:19,700
Tech's, it almost 240,000 and is
on the little that is ninety
1124
01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:22,600
thousand more give or take
alumni.
1125
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,300
Now a thousand more people, you
can attempt to reach out to to
1126
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:29,700
get funding from.
And again why did they start to
1127
01:11:29,700 --> 01:11:34,700
drive for 25 this because if you
can get just do the math for on
1128
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:38,400
if every single Virginia Tech
Alumni.
1129
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,600
Actually, you know what?
Let's go 80%.
1130
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:44,800
Yep.
You know, go 80% and say if a
1131
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:52,000
You know, 175,000 simply gave
$25 a year.
1132
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,500
Minimum, it's like a four
million dollar thing.
1133
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:00,500
That's not counting.
Your big donors is not counting
1134
01:12:00,500 --> 01:12:03,700
people.
Giving more now on, that's 25 a
1135
01:12:03,708 --> 01:12:05,100
year.
Now, if you said they're going
1136
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:12,200
to do a 25 every month, I mean
roof through the roof.
1137
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:18,600
Um, you essentially at like, 150
175 thousand 170,000 people
1138
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,600
you're looking at like 50
million It's three hundred
1139
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,700
dollars a year.
And you don't know everybody
1140
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:32,300
situation but if to push the
donation thing, the 25 was kind
1141
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:35,500
of an ingenious move to me.
You get people gone and they
1142
01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:40,200
give 25.
And then you say, you know, can
1143
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,000
you give 25 every month?
A lot of people will say, yeah,
1144
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,200
right.
Yeah, almost.
1145
01:12:47,300 --> 01:12:51,700
I mean, I don't think there's
anyone that can say, unless they
1146
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:55,000
are just so fed up with the
direction of a program or the
1147
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,100
athletic department, as a whole,
that they wouldn't give $25 a
1148
01:12:58,108 --> 01:12:59,900
year.
Yep.
1149
01:12:59,900 --> 01:13:06,000
I mean and then once you get $25
a year, all right, well now 50
1150
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,000
do too much even if you don't do
that, you get 25 every time,
1151
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,000
there's a seasonal fundraising
event.
1152
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:16,000
Yep.
You know, you get the, the ones
1153
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,300
that kind of come either,
whether it's giving day, whether
1154
01:13:18,300 --> 01:13:21,100
it's, you know, the stuff during
the season.
1155
01:13:21,100 --> 01:13:25,600
Whether it's a specific campaign
within basketball season or
1156
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,800
football season, you get like
five or six of those,
1157
01:13:28,900 --> 01:13:32,500
opportunities in a given
calendar year for fiscal year, I
1158
01:13:32,508 --> 01:13:37,700
should say and, you know, now
they start giving 25 every time
1159
01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:44,600
they're, you know, now that
starting to build so, It's a
1160
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,700
good campaign.
I'm hoping that we started
1161
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:51,200
seeing more and more
participation because I think
1162
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,300
the problem now isn't isn't the
dollars.
1163
01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:55,700
It's the, it's the
participation.
1164
01:13:55,700 --> 01:13:58,600
If we can get participation to
be a little bit closer to the
1165
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,300
goal.
Yeah, then I think you'll start
1166
01:14:01,300 --> 01:14:03,400
seeing, you know, and I'm not
saying we're going to get to
1167
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,300
Clemson numbers, but I think we
can match.
1168
01:14:05,300 --> 01:14:07,500
UVA numbers.
We just we're about to talk
1169
01:14:07,500 --> 01:14:09,100
about now.
What's good?
1170
01:14:09,300 --> 01:14:15,600
So we found from the UVA crowd.
Yeah, so The Big Chill again.
1171
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,400
Let's talk about is similar to
its not to the degree of
1172
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,800
Clemson, but it's very much in
the same.
1173
01:14:22,100 --> 01:14:26,700
Same vein.
We are behind six and a half
1174
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:32,400
million in donations to UVA
there in the the 27 and change
1175
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:38,200
million category there so we're
giving up some ground to UVA
1176
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,800
there.
A lot of that isn't football,
1177
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,300
some of that is basketball.
Some of that is just general
1178
01:14:42,300 --> 01:14:46,500
donations.
But it's still something we're
1179
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:51,600
lagging behind a department that
we consider ourselves to be
1180
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:56,900
better, then especially in
football and more recently
1181
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,100
catching them in overall
athletic prowess.
1182
01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:05,400
So let's talk about the other
piece of it.
1183
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,900
So we've talked about lagging
behind license tags, add that's
1184
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:10,600
been across the board.
We're behind eight million.
1185
01:15:12,100 --> 01:15:17,800
Compared to UVA placing ads.
What exactly are they publishing
1186
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,200
out there?
That people are?
1187
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:24,300
You know I'm guessing it's going
to be the basketball stuff.
1188
01:15:24,300 --> 01:15:26,200
That's the only thing I can
think of.
1189
01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:35,100
I can't imagine anything else
and I guess maybe.
1190
01:15:36,300 --> 01:15:38,600
I mean, they have a lot of
sports that they play at a high
1191
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,000
level, right.
Route.
1192
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,500
So so yeah.
They have a strong top to bottom
1193
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:47,200
athletic department even though
their football has legs
1194
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,700
significantly behind overall, 15
years.
1195
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Yeah, TV years.
Yeah.
1196
01:15:53,000 --> 01:16:00,600
So, I still don't get why we're
struggling, like I would, I
1197
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,200
don't have a problem that we're
behind in it.
1198
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,300
I have a problem.
How far we were behind it.
1199
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,000
Yeah, yeah.
Excellent.
1200
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,100
Well for them, for UVA as far as
don't know, Nations, never upset
1201
01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:13,600
me because there's always been
stories.
1202
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,500
They've had three or four and
large donors that love the
1203
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:19,500
athletic that they're not
stroking 1 million dollar checks
1204
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:23,600
their stroking, 10 million
dollar checks and of guys
1205
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,100
stroking that every year because
he's got the excess cash.
1206
01:16:26,300 --> 01:16:28,200
Josh.
That's tough to catch up.
1207
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:31,300
Clemson, did it the other way?
Clemson went volume.
1208
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:33,700
We're going to get as many
people involved in as much money
1209
01:16:33,700 --> 01:16:38,200
along big donors.
Again the license in an ad I
1210
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,200
just don't get it.
Do you talk about the basketball
1211
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:45,000
program?
You know, it seems to me and you
1212
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,400
said it before and we've heard
it before.
1213
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,400
It is the Mom and Pops
organization, that's running the
1214
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,700
donations, and that's running
things like that.
1215
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,600
It's not the donations.
The like, you can't do that.
1216
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,600
Pull up, pull up.
Pull up the screen, one more
1217
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,700
time run.
Just just just so everybody can
1218
01:17:05,700 --> 01:17:11,600
realize this Scroll down just a
little bit so we can see total
1219
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,100
revenues no no revenues uh my
bad.
1220
01:17:16,300 --> 01:17:18,000
We're a hundred million dollar
athletic.
1221
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,400
We are 100 million dollar
business.
1222
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:27,200
A hundred million dollars.
I'm in the insurance business.
1223
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,400
I see many businesses every day
that do not have that sort of
1224
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:36,000
gross income.
So what this tells me is,
1225
01:17:38,500 --> 01:17:41,200
They've got to spend more money
on operations, more people,
1226
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:46,400
updating it you said it earlier
on, it's not the 1990 still you
1227
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,600
cannot recruit and we've had
several conversations on this,
1228
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,800
you know, on this podcast before
about it.
1229
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:55,700
Yeah.
And I don't think what we're
1230
01:17:55,700 --> 01:17:58,200
saying I'm not I'm not saying I
know Curtis isn't saying that
1231
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,000
either.
We're not saying if financials
1232
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,100
improved so we'll product It's a
piece of the pie, it's not the
1233
01:18:05,100 --> 01:18:06,600
whole puzzle.
No, it's not.
1234
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,700
There's a lot of things that
have to improve recruiting
1235
01:18:09,700 --> 01:18:12,400
overall, not just the investment
in recruiting, but you got to
1236
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,600
get better at recruiting and
closing.
1237
01:18:14,900 --> 01:18:18,000
Yep.
You got to get better on in-game
1238
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,100
adjustments, you.
I mean, there's there's a lot of
1239
01:18:20,108 --> 01:18:24,200
things that are related to the
coaching staff directly that
1240
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:28,700
still need to be fixed, but if
you want to set up anyone for
1241
01:18:28,700 --> 01:18:31,400
Success, finances have to get
better.
1242
01:18:31,900 --> 01:18:34,700
And you know what we talked
about It last week to Brian,
1243
01:18:35,500 --> 01:18:39,300
give wit credit where we are
financially from where when he
1244
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:42,300
came in after Jim Weaver, we're
well ahead.
1245
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,300
We talked about it last week.
Remember, and you sit and you
1246
01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:49,700
said specifically and this was
before this reporting came out,
1247
01:18:49,700 --> 01:18:53,400
we're better financially than
what we were six years or seven
1248
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:58,700
years ago and that's big.
We can be better though and I
1249
01:18:58,700 --> 01:19:03,600
think now that, you know,
obviously the next tires Big and
1250
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:10,400
football for with very big and
when he's going through that
1251
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:13,700
interview, I think, if you have
someone from the marketing
1252
01:19:13,700 --> 01:19:15,400
department, talking to him,
right?
1253
01:19:15,700 --> 01:19:17,600
Like listen let you know, we
want a great football coach.
1254
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,500
We want a guy who's can get can
motivate the kids can recruit.
1255
01:19:21,900 --> 01:19:25,100
But we also want somebody out
there that can sell the program,
1256
01:19:26,500 --> 01:19:30,000
they can sell the program, sell
the program, get the donors,
1257
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,000
make the donors, happy and some
of that's, you know, or feel
1258
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
proud.
Well, the dogs, but some of that
1259
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,800
is talking to the donors
conversations with the donors
1260
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:40,900
access.
Like, there's so many things
1261
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:45,800
that this this regime has not
done well that effect held
1262
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,700
owners are willing to hand over
their funds.
1263
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:53,500
But after seeing this tonight to
Brian the licensing and adds,
1264
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,500
yeah, if you have something
that's something that doesn't
1265
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:59,200
really.
That's an internal thing.
1266
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:03,600
It's an internal thing, but if
you have a more, if you Mike
1267
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:09,000
young right now.
Tell me that there's virtually
1268
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,900
not going to be someone that
loves hockey basketball enough
1269
01:20:13,300 --> 01:20:17,400
that has some big company that
is going to be willing to stroke
1270
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:23,200
a big check to say.
I want to sponsor this I want
1271
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,200
Virginia Tech stuff on my
merchandise.
1272
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:32,200
Yeah you got to have that sort
of personality Who can go out
1273
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:36,100
and sell the program and then
convince well, I'm going to buy
1274
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,900
some ads.
Yeah, I want to do this.
1275
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:41,400
I want to put your logo on the
side of my.
1276
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:45,400
I've got my company Polo and I
want your logo over here.
1277
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,000
So, how much do I haven't do?
We talk about it.
1278
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
Amazon deals sponsoring
football.
1279
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,100
I mean we've got a relationship
with Amazon in place.
1280
01:20:56,100 --> 01:21:00,600
Now let's go ahead and give us
100 million.
1281
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,600
Yeah, I think I think the
problem is that with football.
1282
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:08,500
They limit the small
sponsorships, but they are very
1283
01:21:08,500 --> 01:21:12,600
stuck in these.
We have these relationships that
1284
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:16,300
we've had for four years and
we're sticking with them.
1285
01:21:16,700 --> 01:21:21,000
We're not looking for new like
it's very much a we have what we
1286
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,200
have and We're happy with it so
we're not, we're not touching
1287
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,300
it, the brand is bigger, go
after something else.
1288
01:21:29,300 --> 01:21:33,300
I'm going to give you massive
Kudos, great research job on
1289
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:35,500
this.
Hoping opening people's eyes.
1290
01:21:35,500 --> 01:21:39,300
Go to sport Eco.
Go to the SEC and look what a
1291
01:21:39,300 --> 01:21:41,800
program.
Like, Arkansas are your sales
1292
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,700
like 137 million dollars Revenue
a year.
1293
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,800
And I know a lot of that's from
meteorites, but they've got a
1294
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,200
lot of other stuff going on,
too.
1295
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:52,700
All right, Brian, let's talk
about Saturday, picking for we
1296
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:57,000
close it up tonight on Rhine
rough week.
1297
01:21:57,500 --> 01:21:59,400
Yeah, it was bad.
It was bad.
1298
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Brian went 3 and 7 got pit.
Got BC.
1299
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:14,700
Got it.
NC State do not get into the
1300
01:22:14,700 --> 01:22:16,400
state.
My bad.
1301
01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:29,700
Hold on here, I got pit I got
See, who did I get BC in
1302
01:22:29,700 --> 01:22:31,000
Michigan?
Michigan.
1303
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,600
Yep, that was the other one.
All right, so I'm like, don't
1304
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:41,100
Brown 13 and 759 and fifty two.
And one.
1305
01:22:41,700 --> 01:22:44,300
I went everywhere.
We differed you were right.
1306
01:22:46,300 --> 01:22:48,600
Three.
Yeah, the Notre Dame, UVA game.
1307
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:55,600
Brian was expecting Armstrong to
play, he didn't I went five and
1308
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,700
five.
So up to change some stuff up
1309
01:22:57,700 --> 01:22:59,700
here.
I miss the look.
1310
01:22:59,700 --> 01:23:03,700
I thought I took weight but I
didn't coin flip situation for
1311
01:23:03,700 --> 01:23:08,200
me this week and you know we you
feel like in this we got like
1312
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:13,400
Miami had it covered.
Gave up a fourth and 14 and then
1313
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:17,900
the touchdown to lose the game.
MC State lost what?
1314
01:23:17,900 --> 01:23:23,500
By 3 you have to and you lose
about three, it's gut-wrenching,
1315
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:32,000
the Baylor, Oklahoma game.
I went Baylor, I don't know why,
1316
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,400
I guess I just thought home
field but you know one of those
1317
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,000
weekend's, the one that I think
shocked me and you more than
1318
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:45,200
anything.
Pitt Bean UNC by touchdown.
1319
01:23:46,900 --> 01:23:53,200
Pitt had a really off night.
But cuse, Louisville.
1320
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:57,000
Yeah.
Did anybody see that coming?
1321
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,900
Nah Louisville.
Jumped on their ass early too.
1322
01:24:01,900 --> 01:24:04,400
They did and it wasn't like
turnovers or anything like that.
1323
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:09,100
Because I was when I open that
the game, the stats Central for
1324
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:12,000
that I would expect to see I
Schrader probably threw three
1325
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:16,800
picks or they fumble or return.
Yeah, so no baby a pig six.
1326
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,600
Maybe a scoop and score it.
Some bad Plumbing.
1327
01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:22,400
Yeah.
They had bad plumbing.
1328
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:28,300
And that was it.
So I don't know Tennessee hung
1329
01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:31,600
in there with Georgia for a
while but I was talked.
1330
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:35,800
With my father-in-law really
today and is some about Georgia.
1331
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,500
It was ten nothing earlier,
right?
1332
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,700
We're ten Seven, Ten seven
early.
1333
01:24:41,700 --> 01:24:44,700
Yeah.
How quick to Kirby Smart adjust.
1334
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,100
Second quarter, He adjusted put
Tennessee was in Tennessee.
1335
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:51,900
Couldn't readjust second quarter
heat, adjust it.
1336
01:24:51,900 --> 01:24:56,200
And by the second half, it was
locked down over and it's crazy
1337
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,900
because what I was talking about
with him was when you have that
1338
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:04,000
many much talent on the field,
you can adjust that quick.
1339
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,600
Most teams just like, we have to
get to have time to figure this
1340
01:25:08,700 --> 01:25:11,600
out.
We can't adjust on the fly like
1341
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,200
this, because most, they
adjusted they adjusted on the
1342
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,000
fly to stop any bleeding.
Eating and then they made
1343
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,900
full-on adjustments that lock
them.
1344
01:25:18,900 --> 01:25:26,000
The hell down at halftime.
It was crazy to see that go on.
1345
01:25:28,100 --> 01:25:30,500
I'm not jealous here.
Brian anything breaking?
1346
01:25:31,500 --> 01:25:34,600
I haven't seen anything.
Come across buddy, right?
1347
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:38,500
I am updating.
I'm adding 1 to my loss column
1348
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:48,100
and Take it away one.
So I am 64 and 44 now, just so
1349
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:49,800
you got.
So, I got some ground to make up
1350
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,400
next week.
He's got ground bronze.
1351
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,700
Going to have to just go
opposite view every time I got
1352
01:25:56,700 --> 01:25:59,200
to go at least war against you
every week from here, on out.
1353
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,500
If I'm going to make up some
ground, nothing for against us,
1354
01:26:02,500 --> 01:26:07,100
for two weeks, then you have to
choose every championship game
1355
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:08,800
against me, that's going to be
fun.
1356
01:26:10,900 --> 01:26:13,200
And then bowl games.
It can happen.
1357
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,800
Olga, it can't happen.
It is possible.
1358
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,000
All right.
Well, if nothing has happened,
1359
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,500
buddy, or broken, since we
started about 9:30 tonight, that

I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Bryan Sigma, buddy.
3
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:53,400
How you doing tonight?
Sunday?
4
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,300
Night.
We got one after a second.
5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,100
We got one after we win.
Yeah, we get to, we get to do
6
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,200
this after a win.
I forgot what it felt like.
7
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,900
Feels so much better to do one
of these without a win even
8
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:10,300
though it's only been two weeks.
But you know, the the losses
9
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,100
just take more of a toll on his
right and you know you got a lot
10
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,800
of fun tonight, not a
discussions about the game and
11
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,300
some more fun stuff with
something you got into earlier
12
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,200
this week.
And Brian, the finish line is
13
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,900
Tuesday for you, right?
Yeah, if I can get one, really,
14
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,300
if I can get through tomorrow
night, the the next month is
15
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:37,700
going to go a lot smoother.
Well at least things slow down a
16
00:01:37,708 --> 00:01:41,900
little bit.
My meat becomes more manageable
17
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,100
so I'll take the slow down he
pile.
18
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:50,000
He passed the mile marker of
finishing Youth Sports in the
19
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,900
fall.
This weekend Sports is over.
20
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,600
I got one of my two classes
wrapped up this past Wednesday,
21
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:01,800
I I've talked about it a little
bit when we went last time.
22
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,900
So, yeah.
And then the last of will the
23
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,300
second of three big
presentations for the other
24
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:16,000
class takes place tomorrow.
So yeah, once I get that knocked
25
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,900
out, should be pretty smooth.
Sailing down the home stretch.
26
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,500
Well, it's much easier for you
from here on out.
27
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,700
Yeah, yeah, I'm looking, I'm
looking forward to, you know, I
28
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,800
know we're going To the
holidays, which is always
29
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
something to look forward to.
But it's nice to take a little
30
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,300
bit off the plate gradually, as
we ease into that, because
31
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,500
obviously, with all that stuff
comes a little bit extra stuff
32
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:43,100
for for me to do as well.
So it'll be nice having a little
33
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,200
bit lighter low to compensate
for some of that new stuff
34
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,300
coming down the pike,
absolutely.
35
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:49,900
And see here a little lucky this
year.
36
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,000
When you make that move, you
don't have to do what I had to
37
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800
do.
Speaking of holidays.
38
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,700
Neighbor up the street, put the
tree out.
39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,300
I got the look, you need to go
to the attic and start pulling
40
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,600
everything down.
So so before the game Saturday,
41
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,100
pulling a little bit of
Christmas down, and then pretty
42
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,600
much all morning, pulling
Christmas decorations down.
43
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,900
And I gave my wife a little
grief that she was like, listen,
44
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,200
you know how much stuff we have,
right?
45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,300
I'm like, yeah, we decorate for
Christmas.
46
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,600
You've been here?
We decorate.
47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,100
You know, we got to like it.
We tried to start Thanksgiving
48
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,300
week, I wouldn't get everything
up until the week of Christmas
49
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,800
and I want to enjoy the
decoration fight.
50
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,100
You know what hon, whatever you
want.
51
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:36,900
Let's do it.
It's not a big deal.
52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,600
I mean, I get the one to like
compartmentalize Halloween than
53
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Thanksgiving than Christmas.
But you know for folks that
54
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,900
either travel on Thanksgiving or
constantly on the go that
55
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,500
weekend, you know, you can't
always get it done.
56
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,900
I mean we got we got a game to
watch after after Thanksgiving
57
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,000
game, want to, we're going to be
one to get the damn decorations.
58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,500
Put up, never get them on, get
get at least a good start going
59
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,100
the weekend before, which is
probably what we're going to do.
60
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,800
Probably next weekend, we're
going to get a good jump on it
61
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,300
and then wrap it up.
Once we get back from my mom's
62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,300
the following weekend after
Thanksgiving.
63
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:24,100
So, There you go.
There you go.
64
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000
All right, Brian, let's jump
into it man.
65
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,700
Hokies with.
I mean, I prediction, we thought
66
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,200
it was going to be a close game
but offense defense and special
67
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,000
teams all show out Hokies blow
the doors off of Duke.
68
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:46,100
Kind of a Bittersweet Revenge
game for Justin Fuente speaking
69
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,200
of, because two years ago was
the ugly game in the lane, he
70
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,200
blows out Juke 48:17 and Let's
flip on the offense.
71
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,000
First Prime, finally Hokies have
returned back to over. 500 yards
72
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600
of total offense.
We can do that.
73
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:06,000
I didn't know we could do that.
I didn't know we had that in
74
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,100
this.
But, I mean, it started on the
75
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,800
running game though, right?
The running game got going.
76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,600
You know what 297 was over 300
before the kneel down?
77
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,800
Yep, the noodles.
So we yeah.
78
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:27,400
So over 300 and probably, the
more impressive was like, it was
79
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,100
over 300 and the Carrie thing,
click, get it back up here.
80
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,200
It's one thing.
I did not know take wonderful
81
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,300
me, but I had it right here.
There it is.
82
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,900
After Dean, on 40 carries 141
carries, do the math, that's
83
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:52,000
over seven to carry, I don't
care who you're playing, you're
84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,900
on the ball that many times and
get seven to carry, you're going
85
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:58,100
to win and usually you're going
to do what we did, which is
86
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,100
absolutely blow the doors off of
them.
87
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:07,000
And let's talk about the guy who
absolutely led the way monster
88
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,700
first happen, Monster game
overall, Raheem Blackshear Ron
89
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:17,600
117 yards on the ground, 9.8 per
carry.
90
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800
What did you see?
Just overall in his game on
91
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Saturday, he was definitely he's
in his game, has gotten a lot
92
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,900
better as the seasons went along
and this was this was the big,
93
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,400
the big game.
I think all of us were kind of
94
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,500
waiting for for Blackshear and
and it finally happened happen
95
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,500
against Duke.
I think, just because he's
96
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,700
gotten better with his Is like
one cut and go.
97
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:47,500
He's been more decisive with his
with his Cuts.
98
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,600
I think that's really helped his
game.
99
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,300
Duke was really poor old a set
in the edge getting to the spill
100
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:02,000
area and he was able to really
run inside and outside and just
101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,600
he was able to really get to the
second level and when he gets
102
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,700
the second level, he shift he
makes guys miss and he did a
103
00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:13,000
good job of Showing some of the
speed he doesn't necessarily
104
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,100
have Breakaway speed but he has
good speed and can can turn
105
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:22,300
things into a big play there.
So great job, I Blackshear
106
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Malachi Thomas unfortunately had
a rough day but we had a key.
107
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,500
Shaun, King, sighting and boy
did it blow up it absolutely did
108
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:38,200
here in T he re introduced
himself to us Hokies 94 95, I
109
00:07:38,207 --> 00:07:41,600
mean 10 yards a carry off of had
some Been in there.
110
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,700
We'll discuss that in a little
while here and then, you know,
111
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,900
the for went a comment that
really caught my ear so it
112
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,100
quoted here, you know, I think
it's a glimpse of what Keshawn
113
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,600
is capable of.
I love Keshawn King and
114
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,900
unrelenting in my desire to
continue to do things the right
115
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,300
way.
He knows that that's the
116
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,300
beautiful part about it and
there's not a more pleasurable
117
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,600
person to be around when he's
right?
118
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,300
Hey, this game.
I felt like it was time to
119
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,600
reward him with some
opportunities and he did not
120
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600
disappoint.
So sounds like he was not
121
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,300
completely Italy in the doghouse
but obviously, because he had
122
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,200
been on kick return, making it
an effort.
123
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,100
They're getting a carry here and
there, but obviously worked back
124
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:24,700
towards getting in that rotation
and then with the, you know, the
125
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:30,700
bad day for Malachi with only 10
yards, not not great at all for
126
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,600
him on seven carries, he added
that extra spark.
127
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:41,000
You've ran hard and I think you
talked about Rahim and even with
128
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:45,800
Keyshawn, some of the runs
yesterday, the vision and the
129
00:08:45,808 --> 00:08:49,700
decisive Cuts, they got to a
point.
130
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:53,100
They saw where it was and they
just cut, they did not run into
131
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:57,600
the back of anyone.
And I don't know if you saw this
132
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600
last night on Twitter or today,
Brian Khalil Herbert retweeting
133
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
him.
Kind of giving it a, give them a
134
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,500
congratulations and it seems
like there.
135
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:10,000
I don't know if he's in there
ear sending the messages of what
136
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,300
to see what to talk about.
But both of those guys, it's you
137
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,900
see so many times.
These guys were so athletic like
138
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,400
this, they try to get out.
They try to get out.
139
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,200
When in reality you never made
an offensive lineman.
140
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Things are being set up.
You have to choose where to go.
141
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,400
You got to be able to number one
trust that the blocks will be
142
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,200
there.
But also read the blocks as we
143
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,500
happen because sometimes
depending on what the defense
144
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:42,600
does, there's going to be some
some adjustment to that aiming
145
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,100
Point potentially.
So there's a couple things that
146
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:51,400
happen in real time and the
Really best backs can be both
147
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,200
patient and decisive at the same
time and that's what Herbert was
148
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
so good at, he was patient but
he was decisive once he made a
149
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
decision of how He was setting
things up.
150
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:07,100
He get through there, and he had
the ability to turn a big one
151
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:12,300
into into a touchdown, just with
his speed and his ability to
152
00:10:12,308 --> 00:10:15,000
break those arm tackles at the
second level.
153
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,000
And and Rahim showed, you know,
promised there and I think this
154
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,700
was really we really focused on
getting the running backs
155
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:28,000
involved in the game plan
altogether from Jump Street and
156
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,100
and and they showed out they
show that they were capable of
157
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,300
getting the job done.
They really did.
158
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,100
I mean, they showed they were
capable of getting the job, they
159
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,800
go over 200 combined on, you
know, not that many carries.
160
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,000
I mean, I think they were over
eight per carry which is just
161
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:50,100
insane combined on a little bit
more than that actually.
162
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,600
But let's talk about also a
front, right?
163
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,300
Let's look at the offensive
lineman Brock Hoffman was out so
164
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,600
I'm street clothes food on the
sidelines.
165
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,000
Be interesting to see if he's
back any more games this season
166
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,500
or potentially the bowl.
Game, he did participate in the
167
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,400
senior day ceremony.
So Kind of the writing's on the
168
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,700
wall there but we started out
our starting five.
169
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:14,400
When we first rolled out was
Luke tenuta the seat of Smith.
170
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,200
Johnny, Jordan South stains and
Darrell Smith and Will Smith
171
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,000
written 25.
I'm sure that warms your heart
172
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:26,200
to see a low number on the
linemen and then we saw, you
173
00:11:26,208 --> 00:11:30,600
know, Caden more and fabric
laments, get some action as well
174
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,900
on the right side.
What was your assessment of the
175
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:36,600
line?
Pretty much in all aspects.
176
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,200
Yesterday, when I saw more and
Parker out there, that's when
177
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,100
the line look the best in my
opinion and I thought Johnny did
178
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:53,900
a good job at Center.
We didn't quite have as much
179
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,000
push in the middle as we've had
in some other weeks.
180
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,900
But I think he did a good job of
getting everyone set up in this
181
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:07,600
in place of Brock because any
and he's ran Center come for us
182
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,500
this year with Brock moving,
moving along the line early in
183
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,600
the season.
We were still working out who
184
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:21,600
are five were but I think that
more and Parker showed have
185
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,200
shown some some jump in the last
few weeks and Silas was pretty
186
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,000
steady when he was in there.
So I mean overall good effort by
187
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
the offensive line.
That wasn't a whole lot of
188
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:37,700
glaring, things that popped out
to me, we could have been a
189
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:41,700
little bit better on the inside
Zone, kind of some of the
190
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,500
Insight combos there.
But other than that, good job
191
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:49,300
overall.
Let's flip and talk about more
192
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:54,400
in Parker.
More obviously, has more games
193
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,800
under his belt.
Parker, a few behind.
194
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,200
But you talked about that was
the best.
195
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,700
We look, is just one of those
things.
196
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:07,000
The reps are finally catching up
and it's the whole head versus
197
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
feet.
Hey, I'm going to do with an
198
00:13:09,008 --> 00:13:11,600
offensive lineman head feet and
arms.
199
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,800
It's, they're not thinking
anymore.
200
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,600
It's just becoming natural.
When they hear the play call,
201
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,900
know what I'm going to do if he
puts his hand on my shoulder.
202
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:23,500
I know how mother is it?
Just Coming more natural because
203
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:26,200
of just means they're no longer
thinking about what they have to
204
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000
do.
It's more about, you know, once
205
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,900
they do it, how the defense
reaction, then what they have to
206
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:36,700
do to counter that in real time.
So, essentially everything after
207
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:38,600
the snap.
Not, not thinking a whole lot
208
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,200
before the snap, which is good,
that that you don't want your
209
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200
linemen thinking.
Before they take their first
210
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,100
step, you want them to know
exactly what they're doing,
211
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,900
exactly where they're going, and
what they're going to do when
212
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:53,700
they get there.
So I think that's the big thing.
213
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,000
You see more?
Come on a lot, a lot more
214
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400
lately.
He had a some really good
215
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,200
blocks.
I think on a couple screens down
216
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000
field Parker was down down field
on my screen, getting some
217
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,500
blocks.
So I mean they were doing some
218
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:10,000
good stuff in various ways, it
wasn't just in the Run game, so
219
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:14,800
really like the potential there.
We got to see if they're going
220
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,700
to take another step going into
next season.
221
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,200
But definitely early Returns on
both of them are Better than
222
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800
anticipated.
Great to hear.
223
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:27,500
Right.
Well let's not forget the main
224
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,900
getting every snap Braxton
Burmeister not skidding did get
225
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:36,400
some stats and Braixen went down
with a little wrist injury but
226
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,600
he did get back out there and I
just say this prom, when we
227
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,900
actually run read options and we
have some designed runs and he's
228
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,000
allowed to scramble, but in
keeping them under that 10
229
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,900
threshold, this actually helps
not only Helmet on.
230
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,700
It helps his team autonomy.
He had 71 yards on just nine
231
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,200
carries.
Yeah, and it was a plethora of
232
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000
things.
Yeah we saw had the offense
233
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,300
opened up once he was keeping
more once he showed that he was
234
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:10,900
a threat in the running game but
nine carries 71 yards.
235
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,700
I mean that's a big day that's
that's probably the best day
236
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,700
he's had since at some point
last year in terms of running
237
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:24,800
the football and what he did I
mean he didn't get hurt on a
238
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,700
play where he's keeping it.
I mean, and he did a good job of
239
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,100
getting down.
When he did take hits, it wasn't
240
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,500
those type of hits where, you
know, it's a big lick or an
241
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:40,800
awkward fall, he he was able to
go down, get back up, playing
242
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,500
the next play and I think that's
what we probably needed.
243
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,800
Most of the season to really
open things up in the running
244
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,200
game, for the running backs,
early on.
245
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:55,800
And obviously, if you could run
effectively that that helps in
246
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,200
the passing game and we saw
those numbers, take some steps
247
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,200
this week as well.
Oh absolutely.
248
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,700
We did 94, 15, very efficient
day.
249
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,300
Passing the ball, 215 yards
three touchdowns.
250
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,300
The one awkward interception
which could have been
251
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:17,500
disastrous, but keep practicing
credit for holding on to the
252
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,400
castle egg before somebody could
get there to clean it up.
253
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
But I think with the passing, he
is what he is.
254
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,200
I don't and I don't think unless
you have an exceptional teacher
255
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,900
in that room which were showing
that we don't that he's probably
256
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,100
not going to grow much more than
what he is.
257
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:39,100
And it's you're going to have to
have a really good running game.
258
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,700
Yeah.
And I think that's the so I'll
259
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:47,000
say this and I'll look at last
year, we had really what for
260
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600
sample size games from last
year, that kind of won't think
261
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,100
about what Braxton was going to
be this year before the season
262
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,100
started.
We had the to it.
263
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,700
Early in the season and the two
at the end of the season.
264
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,400
Yep.
And I think really, if you sum
265
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,500
those four games up, we're
getting about the same Braxton
266
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:11,400
that we got last year, a couple
top in games or kind of like
267
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,900
those into the season ones and
the bottom end games are our
268
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:19,500
kind of closer to what he did in
those in that NC State game and
269
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:26,300
that Duke game.
So, It kind of hit is what it
270
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,900
is.
And We see that when we can run
271
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:34,100
the ball effectively, and when
we do incorporate him into the
272
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:38,100
Run game, deliberately he can be
more efficient with the
273
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:43,500
football, but in terms of Sling,
it around and throwing deep
274
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:45,600
balls, I mean, that's not what
he's going to do.
275
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Consistently, we can pop one
every now and again when it's
276
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,600
set up, when it's schemed when
he's got the wide open throw and
277
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,700
he could step into the throw.
Yeah.
278
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:59,200
Like they all those things have
to be in place for deep. balls
279
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,900
to B2B the bread-and-butter and
it baffles me that it took so
280
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:12,000
long to Figure out that we need
to do all these things in order
281
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,100
for him to have success in the
passing game.
282
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,900
Yeah, it just shows you that
there is maybe some I don't want
283
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:21,100
to say it's ignorance.
But something along those lines
284
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:25,200
in that room to not understand
that and I mean and give credit
285
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,300
this week to to the offensive
game plan because you always
286
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:33,300
talk about, we need to ease them
into it first play the game was
287
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:36,200
a shot but the first player game
was a shot that was set up
288
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,700
perfect.
And he just overthrew.
289
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,000
All right, that's fine.
What I really enjoy do is we
290
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,700
took we didn't go crazy on shots
like we did against Pitt, we
291
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:52,100
didn't try to throw a ton of
screens like we did against West
292
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,900
Virginia or the medium range,
and short games.
293
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,700
Like we've seen a town.
It was a good mix of passes.
294
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,900
Yeah.
Essentially.
295
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:04,300
Do you get no point in time
could key on exactly what we
296
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:09,700
were doing in the passing game.
And that's why we that's why he
297
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:13,400
was so efficient, you know,
averaging over, 15 yards, an
298
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,800
attempt.
You know, or right at 15 yards,
299
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800
an attempt.
And when you're getting, when
300
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,100
you're in that, any time, you
break 10, in my opinion.
301
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:31,100
You're doing good, you know?
But a 15-yard attempt is is
302
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:37,000
really good.
And I mean we're going to get
303
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,300
into some at the end here.
So hold your tongue Brian
304
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,800
because I know what you wanted
to.
305
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,700
He's a hold his tongue.
Let's move it.
306
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:50,300
Let's let's talk about the use
of marine Blackshear and Keshawn
307
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,600
King in the passing game.
Both score TD's.
308
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,600
That again, you've always given
them credit and I don't know how
309
00:19:57,608 --> 00:20:00,100
much of a tell how much is
Justin Fuente or other people in
310
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,200
that room that play design on
the key.
311
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,500
Shaun King touchdown, do Dallas
brilliance Yeah, I mean it's a
312
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:12,800
good design and the designs that
are there.
313
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,600
I've never had that much
criticism of my criticism is we
314
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:25,700
don't Target all the field
consistently enough and we have
315
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:29,500
plays like that in our back
pocket and we don't fucking call
316
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:35,000
them ever like why are we
sitting on this for Duke when
317
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,700
we're sub 500 like where the
fuck was this?
318
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,600
PC?
Because the played it, the
319
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,000
penguin Keshawn King, even
without a running thread of a
320
00:20:48,008 --> 00:20:51,800
quarterback.
Because, sorry, here I got the
321
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,100
burps today that play was not a,
it was just a straight outside
322
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:59,600
zone, right?
That's all the play was it was
323
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,500
an outside Zone, fake.
Outside Zone, fake.
324
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:08,900
It showed one of the inside guys
want like a little flare out and
325
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:12,900
then post wheel combo.
That could have been used
326
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,100
against BC that could have been
used against Pitt that could
327
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,100
have been used potentially
against Syracuse.
328
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,400
What.
Absolutely going to use me
329
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,900
against pick his pit plays, a
lot of the same type of
330
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,500
techniques and coverage on
defense that that do plays.
331
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,700
So what the hell are we doing
there?
332
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,600
And let me, let me look like he
was on a Mars.
333
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,100
He didn't know what he was doing
there.
334
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:38,800
He was completely lost.
Good play, Bad Day.
335
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,500
We've seen it all the time.
But what I say I said in man
336
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:47,300
coverage, he was suspect and he
got but you got burned about
337
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:52,300
three times and coverage, like
big plays, not just not just
338
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,200
left.
I just given up completions.
339
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,000
Yeah.
All right, let's talk about the
340
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,600
other guy.
We already mentioned in Raheem
341
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,300
Blackshear, called a touchdown,
had a big gain in a screen and
342
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,500
then another one.
For the TD, I'm assuming you
343
00:22:06,508 --> 00:22:08,900
were looking your chops when you
saw both those place called
344
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,200
because just watching them the
setups.
345
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Juke on the on the touchdown
when we were in Jet Sweep fake.
346
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:22,300
And that whole defense went,
whoop to the opposite side of
347
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,600
the field.
When bryceton done shit, it was
348
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,300
like a three on one for the
offensive linemen like we don't
349
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:32,400
have anybody to block it.
So, if you'd like to take that
350
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,800
guy, I mean.
Tell me what you felt about.
351
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,300
Both those screens just the
design of them.
352
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,500
Again, good designs.
Where are they in other games
353
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:47,900
this year?
Yeah, I mean the first one I
354
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:51,800
think we had seen maybe once or
twice that that second one with
355
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,000
that motion.
Yeah.
356
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
I think that's maybe the first
time we've seen that all year.
357
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:05,400
And, you know, again, I just
talked about it a little bit but
358
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,600
I think That's some of the
problem.
359
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Like I love getting things,
getting the running backs
360
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,300
involved in the passing game
here.
361
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,300
I like screen out those.
I know some people out there and
362
00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:20,400
Hokie Nation like another screen
when screens work they fucking
363
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,200
work.
Now the problem is that they're
364
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,200
a often called at the wrong
Times by our coordinator and be
365
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,000
we run the same three over and
over and don't incorporate some
366
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,900
of this different motion.
Different looks different design
367
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,700
to really Keep the defense
off-balance and show them
368
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,100
something they haven't seen
before.
369
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,900
So again, I'm not sure why we're
breaking all these, these things
370
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:49,100
out against Duke other than it
being really.
371
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,900
A must-win to not be the worst
team in the conference.
372
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,300
So you know, we've at least
established that.
373
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:00,100
Virginia Tech not the worst
team.
374
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:07,000
In the ACC, not the worst team
in the ACC by far and it's
375
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800
because of guys like three
couple guys, we've mentioned in
376
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,700
Tavia, John Robinson, and I tell
you, every time he gets his ball
377
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,100
on the punt return, you just
feel like it's coming, you know,
378
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:21,800
he had three yesterday, 73,
including a big 43-yarder that
379
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,000
just put the field again.
It's a, it's a net punt.
380
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Nightmare, I'm going to the
first party at like 15 yards are
381
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,500
like the 35-yard punt with the
15 yard return.
382
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Hey, maybe I'm getting anything
on that and then just, you know,
383
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:44,500
overall for 478 Had the Fail
Mary where he was just short of
384
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:48,100
the end zone called and some
other short, couple other short
385
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:52,000
intermediate routes.
One was a really nice hook that
386
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Coldplay's later, we score a
touchdown and then an out route
387
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:01,400
and just every week it seems
like his his his route tree gets
388
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:09,600
bigger, he gets more confidence.
You know, where it looks like
389
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,300
Trey Turner.
Is leaving next year.
390
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,600
I think Tavian is going to
easily step and do the number
391
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,300
one roll.
Yeah.
392
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:21,600
And what he does he really can
line up all over the field.
393
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,700
He's probably more of a natural
fit in the slot but he can line
394
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:28,000
him up outside.
He's got the full complement of
395
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,300
the route tree.
You mentioned the Fail.
396
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:33,800
Mary.
Let's talk about that too.
397
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,400
In a drive with just a little
bit.
398
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,100
Why do we go hella conservative
in that situation?
399
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:43,500
Then as soon as you bust 11
good, run y'all.
400
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,300
Okay, well now now we wasted all
this time.
401
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,700
Now, we need to hurry up again.
I'm not mad about that.
402
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,400
Can I tell you what?
I'm mad about?
403
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800
What you mad about?
40 seconds left, we're at the
404
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,600
47.
Yeah, we're about.
405
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,200
We're about what?
10 10 yards from Romo?
406
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,700
Give me a shot to kick it,
right?
407
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Yep.
We have three timeout 3, not 1,
408
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,100
not 2.
We have all three it.
409
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:13,700
Weird like, going down field or
going sideline routes.
410
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,600
You can still run screens, you
can still run the ball.
411
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,200
You can still take shots over
the middle of the field.
412
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:24,200
We were acting like we nailed.
Why are we acting like we've got
413
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,100
to either get a bunch of yards
or get out of bounds.
414
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,200
Like neither of those are have
to use, well, you sit here and
415
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,200
it just get it's it's it's
ineptitude because you should
416
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,400
know.
I've got three timeouts.
417
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,100
If we bring the tenure over the
middle, we burn one quick setup.
418
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:47,300
And then I can sit there and And
so now we're at the 37, do the
419
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,900
math?
That's about a 53-yard.
420
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:54,600
ER, Romo's made their what,
which one the 51-yard of look
421
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,800
good from 61 earlier this year?
Yeah, I know the wind was
422
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,100
whipping yesterday and he played
into that first kick that he
423
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,600
missed because he thought I was
going to bring tried to put, he
424
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,400
tried to put that into the wind
and then the wind didn't do
425
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600
anything for him and in doing.
So the rest of them, he just
426
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600
ain't dead center and bang them
through.
427
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:17,300
Yeah, but you get you get tenure
Parts timeout, let's get 10 more
428
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:19,800
minutes.
Now you have 225 where you can
429
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:25,000
legitimately take three shots at
the end zone or take one more
430
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,300
shot and try to get 10 to 15
yards closer.
431
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,500
It's just bad.
It's, it's just terrible play
432
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,800
calling because your terrible
play, calling, terrible game
433
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,800
management, everything
communication between the play
434
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,300
caller, and the person that is
responsible for getting timeouts
435
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:46,900
on the field.
Namely corn and Fuente and went
436
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:51,100
they went they not telling him.
I have three timeouts.
437
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:56,700
Your entire Playbook is open.
Yeah, I know you don't and
438
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:01,600
that's part of like communicate.
Make sure your play caller is
439
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,500
doing what you think needs to be
done because act buck stops with
440
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,300
you buddy.
Yep. 100%.
441
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,300
All right Ron.
Let's just talk about the last
442
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:16,800
two receivers real quick.
Trey only had one catch Circus,
443
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,800
catch, but I noticed on a few
other passing plays after that
444
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,100
one, big Circus catch and then
targeting him.
445
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,100
The safety was over top him.
The rest of the day he was doing
446
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:33,400
was not getting any more single
man coverage and I think that
447
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,200
helped open up it helped open up
the Run game and it helped open
448
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
up you know Thanks for guys.
Like Caleb Smith.
449
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,700
Who had one of his.
It wasn't to statistically big
450
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:47,800
but got caught a touchdown from
walk on to scholarship to
451
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,600
catching touchdowns from up
here, in Louisa County, big, big
452
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,700
play tray.
Let everybody else get the big
453
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,000
plays because they were scared
as hell of him and Caleb Smith
454
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:00,100
taking it home.
Yeah.
455
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,800
And I think Trey was just happy
to play that game.
456
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,900
Yeah.
If we're if we're being honest
457
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:09,000
with, like, knowing that It's
going to be his last game in
458
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Lane.
Just the fact he was able to go
459
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,200
out there and and finish the
game.
460
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,600
I think that was big for him and
shout and shout out to Trey
461
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Turner like everything you could
want in a hokey.
462
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Yep.
So I mean great.
463
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Great career here.
So shout out to him on playing
464
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,500
his last home game as a hokey.
Can I say something about that?
465
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Yeah, buddy went up with his
kids and Trey.
466
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,700
Actually during the hook you all
came over and gave them all.
467
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,800
The five.
He's got a picture of it.
468
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:46,000
Just shows you hear me.
He is definitely a fans player.
469
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:52,100
Yep.
I am favorite like everything.
470
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:53,800
You want to put.
Put in that bucket.
471
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,000
That's the trade.
Turner is.
472
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,100
So shout out to Trey.
Great.
473
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,300
Great job and we've loved
watching you play here.
474
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:07,400
Is we have And then, Caleb tell
me.
475
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,500
You saw the give credits to
whoever was the producer for
476
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:14,900
that game yesterday when they
showed the Caleb Smith touchdown
477
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:18,400
because they had ran like in the
long run game where he was
478
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,200
blocking and then he released
and he went up field, two plays
479
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400
later, they run the same play,
he's blocking to guide.
480
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
You sheds in like forgets about
on the safeties come up and it's
481
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,400
the same, we use the scenes
again that exists.
482
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:38,000
It exists.
Two times now, two times.
483
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,400
Wow, yeah.
And I, you know, I like the that
484
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,800
we had to set up there, I liked
it.
485
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,700
We were getting inventive with
how we were going to get our
486
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:51,000
guys open in the passing game.
I just keep going back to.
487
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Where the hell is this Ben?
All right, don't know why?
488
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:59,500
We're, we're emptying the
playbook for Duke brought Brian.
489
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:02,000
Let's do it.
Brian has a juxtaposition.
490
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,300
Brian.
Is a little heated. so go ahead,
491
00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:10,900
Brian and it's not just this
year things like every year
492
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:16,300
under this coaching staff, well,
it seems like every year we have
493
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:23,600
the bad game followed up by
something like this, right?
494
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,700
We've had, you know, pit and
then we follow that up.
495
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:33,000
We've got this game, we follow
it up.
496
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,500
I mean, I'm just I'm a little
confused that we last year.
497
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:41,900
We've had some gains very
similar to that the essentially
498
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,900
the entire month of November and
December.
499
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:48,900
Then we get Eva like Like, why
can't we?
500
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
So essentially win the games
that we should win.
501
00:31:55,900 --> 00:31:57,800
All the time.
Well Brian.
502
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Most of the time, right?
Go back.
503
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,100
Go back to the first year.
The lawsuit of Syracuse in the
504
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,500
dome.
Yeah, not like a one or two
505
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,000
point got just got smashed.
You know what that you remember?
506
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,800
What the next game was?
What was that with the Miami
507
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,100
game that first year?
Miami game, where we absolutely
508
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,200
curb stomp them?
Yeah, and let's talk about Miami
509
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,900
game.
That was the game after Duke in
510
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:24,400
2019 where we get blown out by
Duke and then we go out and
511
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,300
shock.
Miami.
512
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,100
Nobody gave us a chance and that
game.
513
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,000
No, not at all.
Not at all.
514
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:36,000
So it's just one of those weird
things where it's like, it's an
515
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,500
Mo of this coaching staff, just
like, we're going to have a
516
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:45,500
really bad game, like just bad
bad in all aspects.
517
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,500
Do some really screwed up
things.
518
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:52,700
Within the next week we're going
to make the fans us included.
519
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,500
Right?
Where, where, where was this?
520
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,900
This year?
We get to say, where was this
521
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:00,500
there in multiple games?
I just, where was this?
522
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:04,800
Last week even though we get a
direct correlation back to last
523
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,900
week.
So hopefully what's the feel is
524
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:12,900
it's not to more much more of
this Braun.
525
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Hopefully they can carry the
momentum to Miami which is going
526
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:22,800
to be a night game down at Miami
730, kick right. 738 CC Network
527
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
kick.
So good times on that Brian.
528
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Let's flip, let's talk about the
defense for a few minutes here
529
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,400
for we get a few more things,
popped up.
530
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,700
We About Gunnar Holmberg.
Daughter Holmberg ruled out the
531
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,200
last second root out, but fully
dress.
532
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,900
I'm guessing he was there
emergency emergency QB,
533
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:42,500
emergency quarterback.
If everybody was injured, they
534
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:45,100
will essentially, the guys, they
had the two other guys.
535
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:49,300
They had he would have came in
essentially good enough to play,
536
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:53,100
but not good enough, where you
felt like, he could go a full
537
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:58,900
game of getting pounded on.
So, smart - I mean it benefited
538
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:00,500
us.
I mean, definitely, they.
539
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,600
They took some of their teeth
out of the passing game.
540
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:07,200
Yep.
But of course, we was two more
541
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,300
athletic quarterbacks, right?
Whole bars?
542
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:12,699
They're like here.
Riley, Leonard's like here and
543
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:13,800
Morgan.
Finally King.
544
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,600
It's like here.
So it was clearly something,
545
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,199
where if he was dressed, he just
hadn't probably.
546
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,800
He probably hadn't done any of
the lead-up.
547
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:28,900
It probably just, and more
probably had just been Leonard
548
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,100
and that's Tire, you know,
credit to our credit though,
549
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,300
having those guys And we still
held them under a hundred yards
550
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:40,300
below their average.
Yeah.
551
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,900
Well, over a hundred yards below
their average.
552
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:46,800
And then on the money Downs,
they we show up again.
553
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,699
Unlike BC, there's back to the
juxtaposition, they were 5 for
554
00:34:50,707 --> 00:34:56,400
19, they were Dreadful on third,
and fourth downs, and it's why
555
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,800
we sort of dominated the game.
Yeah, definitely one of our
556
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,900
better defensive performances of
the year.
557
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,600
I put it at least in kind of the
top three there.
558
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:08,800
Nothing.
Nothing will really match what
559
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,600
we did Week, 1 against you and
see.
560
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:14,800
We really, really peaked early
defensively.
561
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:17,700
And it's been a kind of up and
down back half.
562
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:22,400
But this this was one of the the
better better games for us.
563
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,800
And it started with the guys
inside at the the linebacker
564
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:34,400
position Dax hollifield, Alan
Tisdale probably the overall
565
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000
best games they've had.
You're definitely the best games
566
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,700
they've had in the in the month
of October and November.
567
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:47,400
Yeah, you know tackling well,
they attack has four laws.
568
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,000
Have some sacks.
Tisdale was in there making some
569
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:55,800
making some noise to acts had
some, some key stops on some key
570
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,300
Downs.
So you love to see that d-line
571
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,100
got pressure all day, didn't
didn't really get to finish
572
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:05,300
those but they definitely put
the quarterbacks and some bad
573
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,300
spot.
It's some errant throws some
574
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:11,100
throws, you know, released
sooner than they were ready
575
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:16,000
off-target things like that.
Forced a lot of throws on the
576
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
run and a lot of throws just
getting the rid of the ball
577
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,500
because they ran out of time.
Oh absolutely.
578
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:24,700
And the other thing both the
front half did altogether.
579
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:28,900
Mateo Durant was not a factor of
1,000 yard running back was no
580
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:35,000
Factor.
He only had ten carries and one
581
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
of the other running backs, we
did not mention the other week,
582
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,000
but Trent Davis was out there
more because he's more pass
583
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,300
catcher.
Yeah, so yeah they really had to
584
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:46,800
I had to go away from their game
plan and really with with the
585
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,100
quarterbacks they had in there,
they would have much preferred
586
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:54,700
to stick with a with a run first
offense and we got them out of
587
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:57,600
that real quick.
Oh yes we did.
588
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:01,500
But we guess we did now there
was one time near the end of the
589
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:06,100
game where they did get home
didn't derail Pollard in Taiwan
590
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:10,000
Garbutt.
Pollard gets the strip sack and
591
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
then Garbutt picks it up.
Runs it into the end zone.
592
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,700
The game was well, in hand at
that point, but that was, let's
593
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:18,400
just a great explanation point
that they were still playing
594
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,500
hard to the end.
Yeah.
595
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:24,300
And I like that this was even
though it didn't happen in the
596
00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:27,200
first half.
Like I wanted where we were Meg
597
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,600
aggressive in the two-minute
drill to from the jump.
598
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:36,500
Instead of, you know, once we
got one big play there, I like
599
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:39,400
that in the second half we
didn't take our foot off the gas
600
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,300
pedal.
That's been different than
601
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:45,400
really any other game.
I've seen this year, we weren't
602
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,500
content with just having a
double-digit lead.
603
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:49,900
We weren't just going to sit on
that.
604
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:53,800
We were going to keep going.
I think it might be the first
605
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,800
time all year I have to go back
and look but it feels like it's
606
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,400
the first time all year second
half we scored more points in
607
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,200
first half.
Yeah, maybe a middle Tennessee.
608
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,800
Might have been the only other
one where made of Middle
609
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,500
Tennessee and that was mainly
because the first half was such
610
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,900
a downer.
Yeah.
611
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:15,000
West Virginia to, but the
Western, and I think the point
612
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,200
we're trying to make is we had
points on the board.
613
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,900
We had the game under control
instead of playing conservative
614
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,700
and kept attacking, kept
attacking, kept attacked those
615
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:26,900
other games were either closed
or where we were down going into
616
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:28,100
half.
Yeah.
617
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:31,800
Whereas in this case, we had a
pretty decent Lead, taking it to
618
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,200
the half and we said we're not
done.
619
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:35,900
All right?
Yep.
620
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:39,600
Only ask you one question.
More on what Jordan wore did
621
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,800
really near the end of the game?
I know we were rotating guys in
622
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,000
and out does it give you any
pause for concern with the Run
623
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,900
game of how he looked?
And I know the last two guys
624
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:54,700
with Van Dyken potentially
burning Armstrong aren't that.
625
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,800
But just in general, if we
start, if we keep this similar
626
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:05,300
defense going in 2022, I think
it'll be okay.
627
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:07,400
I think I think there's some
tweaks that still need to
628
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,100
happen.
I think the overall scheme is
629
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:12,900
still a work in progress.
I think we did see we have seen
630
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:17,400
overall progression from year
one to year two in this defense.
631
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,300
You know the question is going
to be is this going to be our
632
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:25,000
defense going into into next
year or not?
633
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,800
But When we talk about the next
two games though.
634
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,200
You know, we are looking at guys
that can run the football and
635
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,300
they both can throw the ball.
Assuming both of them are
636
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:43,100
playing in those games and
that's going to be the struggle,
637
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,100
right?
We have struggled with with guys
638
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,400
that even weren't the best
thrower.
639
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,300
If they could run in throw, even
if they were get the ball, more
640
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,800
down, feel like a Schrader we
struggled there.
641
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,400
So we'll see how that works out.
We know Armstrong is more of a
642
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,600
throw first player even though.
He is an athlete Van Dyke, a
643
00:40:04,607 --> 00:40:07,400
little bit of the same, right.
So they're both still throw
644
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,900
first where a Schrader was was
more of a run-and-gun deep type
645
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,100
type quarterback.
So we'll see if that plays more
646
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:18,000
into our defense has favored or
not.
647
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,100
But yeah, it's definitely
something to be concerned about
648
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:23,100
but we'll look into it.
I'm sure they'll have some new
649
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:28,400
wrinkles and adjustments to
counter some of what UVA in
650
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,900
Miami do absolutely.
Before we get, It into just one
651
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:36,500
more piece.
Why they throwing so many flags
652
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:39,100
on Jermaine wall?
Or for just playing defense, and
653
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,600
why is the Umpire get in the way
and then the back judge, don't
654
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,400
want to flag on it.
Yep.
655
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:50,600
That was the worst because the
the Umpire was in the way which
656
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,100
made the receiver, stop his
route.
657
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:58,600
Instead of diving for the
football, he stops his route and
658
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,100
that and Waller was already
essentially reading the play as
659
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:06,400
if he was going down for the
ball and now you got a receiver
660
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,400
that's like right up on you.
I don't like that.
661
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,300
You know, there was three flags
on and probably only one was
662
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,100
actually legitimately pass
interference.
663
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,000
What haven't been over hand
fighting?
664
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,900
And he literally it literally
the way it looked.
665
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:26,300
It was like at the last second,
his arm was extended right
666
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:28,200
before Bobo's was extended and
they throw it.
667
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,600
It's just like they're fighting,
that's not a flag.
668
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:35,300
Again, we talked about the ACC
officials.
669
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:38,900
We know they don't like to throw
the flags very much in the pie,
670
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:42,300
but when they do, it's very
inconsistent.
671
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,900
Austin, I think that's the
problem, you know?
672
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:46,500
If if you're not going to throw
it be consistent, if you're
673
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:51,100
going to throw it be consistent,
I don't care so much one way or
674
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:53,400
the other.
I just want you to be consistent
675
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,500
that way, you know.
Predictable outcomes, right?
676
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,200
Yeah.
Any shock to you how much he
677
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,600
covered by the being 65 220.
I mean, he's done.
678
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Well, have been against bigger
receivers in the past?
679
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,700
So I mean, I don't think that
was too shocking, he definitely
680
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:14,500
held Bobo.
In check.
681
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:18,200
Yeah.
In just three catches for a
682
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,000
little over 30 yards.
Yeah.
683
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,300
All those lower output games all
year reception and we know we
684
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,900
did they didn't have the best
best, quarterbacks pulling the
685
00:42:27,908 --> 00:42:31,200
trigger there, but at the same
time, you know, he held him in
686
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:37,300
check, even when he had time, he
was there in coverage, so Shout
687
00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:43,100
out to Waller great game.
Continuing another great season
688
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,800
here for him.
Yes, he is.
689
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,000
All right, we're on before we
take a break and then come back
690
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
with some stuff you've been
digging up.
691
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:54,000
I wanted to kind of go over the
defensive rankings because okay,
692
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:58,500
I don't know if everybody looks
like it's something I followed,
693
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:02,800
but let's go ahead, scoring.
We are 32 in the country were
694
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:08,500
given up 21 game compared to
last year, Leaps and Bounds
695
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,700
better than we were last year
Leaps and Bounds.
696
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:20,700
Not even question, we are a top
15 passing defense but the run
697
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:25,200
defense is still struggling over
103 yards or excuse me, 130
698
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:32,200
You're over 186 yards, the Red
Zone D, still struggling at 99
699
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:34,500
but there is something I
noticed.
700
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,900
And I know you've been talking
about this with the new scheme
701
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:41,900
where in how many, how many Red
Zone trips?
702
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,400
Do you think we've had this
year?
703
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,100
I'm not safe.
You, I'd say significantly fewer
704
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,100
than last year.
It is.
705
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:55,600
It's only 23.
And and the numbers are getting
706
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,100
a little bit.
Better 17 touchdowns to six
707
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:01,300
field goals, but only 23 trips
where, when I was digging
708
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:04,700
through the data, there are
teams that are like UVA, has
709
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,700
over forty four trips into the
Red Zone against them.
710
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:13,000
Over forty four trips and
they're giving up like 75% of
711
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,100
the time, the score and they're
ranked higher than us.
712
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:20,900
But it's also like but you've
also let teams get double the
713
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:25,600
times into the 20-yard line that
says something because if
714
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,800
they're getting down and you're
scoring and they're scoring as
715
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,200
75% clip and the other we're
only we're giving up 80 but
716
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,500
you're only getting there two
times a game, it helps.
717
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,900
Total Defense, 60.
Where would you give them a
718
00:44:40,908 --> 00:44:45,200
grade right now?
Defense in general.
719
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,200
I'd say it's somewhere in that
b-minus c-plus range.
720
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,500
I'd probably go see.
Plus, I'd like to see the Red
721
00:44:54,500 --> 00:45:00,800
Zone improve in terms of stops
and especially forcing the feel.
722
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,700
I, we definitely need Force more
field goals, you know, you're
723
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,800
rarely going to give get a ton
of true stops there, but we need
724
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:14,300
to definitely be closer to that,
you know, 65 70 percent in terms
725
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:20,500
of force and field goals there.
Now when we talk about the
726
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:25,700
running, the rush defense that
that's concerning but we have
727
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:29,600
done a good job of stopping the
bleeding throughout drives.
728
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,300
A lot of the big gains are
coming early in the drive and
729
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:36,900
then we're settling in and then
getting off the field.
730
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:41,100
You know, the problem is that
when they do get in the Red Zone
731
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,500
that's when the rush defense
should be bowing up a little bit
732
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:48,500
and it hasn't Yeah, so I think I
think that's that's more
733
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:52,100
concerning than necessarily.
The fact that they're getting a
734
00:45:52,107 --> 00:45:57,700
bunch of yards there.
And we really only had what like
735
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:01,400
to to bad defense leg bad
defensive games.
736
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:08,700
Yeah, Syracuse and Syracuse and
Notre Dame with the too bad
737
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:12,600
defensive games.
Yeah, Notre Dame, it was really,
738
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,200
it was like a it was like the be
- game until the end of the game
739
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,300
and then it was the f - it went
from like Hey we're doing okay,
740
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:27,700
too.
What do we just put on the field
741
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:29,400
for two drives at the end of the
game?
742
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:31,600
Yeah, so you had you had two bad
games.
743
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,700
You had to and games like pit
pit probably goes in that
744
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:42,000
category you share.
I mean pit was scored over 50.
745
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,300
We home to 28 it's a a game
because the offense just
746
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,700
couldn't do anything.
I'm talking about the rush
747
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,600
defense.
Oh yeah, yeah, right Stephen's.
748
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,200
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my bad
man.
749
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:53,300
Yeah.
Yeah, they shouldn't be able to
750
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:54,600
run the ball like that against
us.
751
00:46:56,900 --> 00:47:00,500
Got it.
Now they held Kenny Pickett as
752
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:02,400
much in.
Check is pretty much any defense
753
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:08,200
has this year, but we gave up
too many yards in the Run game.
754
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,100
Couldn't stop.
Couldn't set the edge.
755
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:13,900
Well, outside containing the
running game was awful extended
756
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:17,700
drives when it shouldn't have.
So that was the problem that
757
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:21,300
game but like I said, I'd
probably go see plus B, minus
758
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:25,600
range overall, definitely the
strength of the team outside of
759
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,600
special teams this year.
And we finally had a couple
760
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,700
games in here in the last few
weeks where, you know, offense
761
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:38,300
and defense showed up a little
bit at the same time, especially
762
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:40,300
against Duke.
Finally looks like four
763
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:43,300
quarters.
Yeah, both sides of the ball
764
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:45,500
doing pretty well.
Closed.
765
00:47:45,500 --> 00:47:48,800
In the Georgia Tech game about
1/4 was all for the offense at
766
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,600
Georgia Tech was that way too.
And, you know what?
767
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,300
The next two games were going to
need it.
768
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:56,000
We're going to need eight
quarters of everybody being on
769
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,600
the same page.
Just Just to get to a bowl game
770
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,000
and to get to a bowl game for
these kids who did not get one
771
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,600
last year as there is some
normalcy this year, you're going
772
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,300
to probably see bowls or
probably going to get to go
773
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:09,800
early.
There's gonna be some protocols
774
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,400
but you hope we can.
I want to pull both out.
775
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,400
And then like watch chaos happen
and we like make the ACC
776
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,500
Championship game and would have
to say we go shoot, what do we
777
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:23,300
do?
What do we do?
778
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:24,100
What do we do?
What do we do?
779
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:25,000
What do we do?
What do we do?
780
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,900
It'll be in.
Yeah, yeah, foresee that
781
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:32,000
happening but yeah, only it
could still happen.
782
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,400
I definitely want to see us.
I definitely want to see us win
783
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,800
out here, regardless of what
happens on that front because
784
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,000
both of these games are rivalry
games, both of these games
785
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,100
matter on the recruiting Trail.
There's there's a lot riding on
786
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:47,300
this.
That has nothing to do with,
787
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,200
who's the head coach next year,
100%, 100%.
788
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,600
All right.

Now back to the episode Alright
799
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,400
guys, what we're looking at
tonight in kind of a discussion,
800
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:34,700
everybody might McDaniels over
at sons of Saturday and hokey
801
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:38,400
hangover podcast.
Released a tweet this week,
802
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,500
talking about sport Eco in their
College Athletic Department
803
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:47,200
financial data base.
I thought I picked at it.
804
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:52,600
But the big guy out of here.
What are they saying?
805
00:49:53,300 --> 00:49:58,200
I went down the rabbit hole for
multiple days.
806
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:02,800
Yeah.
Brian, I'm going to just assume
807
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:08,500
that you looked a lot of VT.
I looked a lot at Virginia Tech.
808
00:50:08,500 --> 00:50:11,000
Absolutely that's where I
started and then I started
809
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:16,600
looking at other ACC teams and
then comp teams and other
810
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:26,600
conferences all right, so I mean
are we 1 to 10?
811
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,300
Where we bring?
Let's do that first one to 10.
812
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,800
Are we terrible or we average
and we slightly above average or
813
00:50:34,700 --> 00:50:36,900
what would you say?
So we're kind of in the bottom
814
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:42,600
end and overall Revenue in the
ACC that probably shouldn't
815
00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:44,800
shouldn't shocky that many
people.
816
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,000
But when you look, I think it's,
when you look at the breakdowns
817
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,100
that's where some of the story
gets told.
818
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:53,300
So I'm gonna throw something up
real.
819
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,600
Quick here for the folks
watching just to give you an
820
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,300
idea of what we're looking at,
what I was looking at.
821
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:05,400
And so this is the, can I say
one thing down?
822
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:09,400
Yes, he one thing, if you're
listening to this on the podcast
823
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:16,700
on on tomorrow Tuesday or
Wednesday at about 52 minutes.
824
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:19,100
If you go to our YouTube page,
you'll be able to see the
825
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:20,900
documents primers are bringing
up.
826
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,000
Yep.
So What?
827
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,800
Right now I'm just we're
focusing on revenues here,
828
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:32,900
obviously expenses matter, but I
was more curious about money
829
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:35,400
coming in.
Then I was about, you know what,
830
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,200
it's getting spent on.
So like I said, we got, we got
831
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,600
the chart here, you know, breaks
it down by different buckets of
832
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,800
where the revenues coming from.
It breaks it down over, on the
833
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:55,300
left hand, side of the chart of
you know where What sport or in
834
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:58,900
this, in this case, also
nonspecific not sport-specific.
835
00:51:58,900 --> 00:52:02,200
So, like just a general
scholarship type situation where
836
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,800
that money is being spent or
where that money's allocated to,
837
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,200
in terms of the budget.
And there's there's several
838
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,300
takeaways here.
So I'm going to go ahead and pop
839
00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:15,800
this off your and just start
talking a little bit more here.
840
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,700
So let's start with Virginia
Tech's numbers, and I'm going to
841
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:22,100
break this into good bad and
ugly.
842
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,000
We're going Spaghetti spaghetti
western here always.
843
00:52:28,700 --> 00:52:35,900
So we'll start with the good.
We are better than every other
844
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:39,100
ACC team in terms of media
rights.
845
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,800
And that's that's based on
obviously this is just public
846
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:44,700
schools because it's just public
data.
847
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,100
So we don't have Wake Forest
numbers.
848
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:50,100
We don't have Miami numbers.
We don't have pit numbers.
849
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:52,400
We don't have BC numbers, we
don't have sit there.
850
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,700
There's a, it's not yet.
It is not public.
851
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:59,000
Well, I do know.
Yep.
852
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,200
So no wake, no Duke.
So there's a lot of numbers that
853
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,200
we don't have probably half the
ACC that we don't have, but in
854
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,700
terms of the ones we do, we're
at the top and meteorites
855
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,100
overall.
So across all sports, why do you
856
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:20,900
think it is?
I mean that that like I think
857
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:25,000
meteorites I think well good
Lord, where we're down, tucked
858
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,400
in Southwest Virginia where
someone like Simpson is notes,
859
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:33,200
north of Greenville, South of
Charlotte.
860
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:36,600
You think, you know, UVA
Charlottesville is a pretty good
861
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,800
metro area only in about, you
know, an hour west of Richmond.
862
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,800
Why do you think we're one of
the better media deals?
863
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,700
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I don't know if that has
864
00:53:46,700 --> 00:53:51,300
something to do with the ACC
Network having a studio in lane
865
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:54,000
or any other factor, that that's
related to that.
866
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,100
But we do better than every
other school.
867
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,800
In the ACC public wise in terms
of those meteorites.
868
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,300
And that's taking into account
that the ACC media deal is
869
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:12,600
absolutely the worst.
In all the power 5, even Pac-12
870
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,800
is your average school has a
little is generating more
871
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,300
revenue and meteorites than your
average ACC schools.
872
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:23,900
So if we can get that worked
out, that bucket is going to go
873
00:54:23,900 --> 00:54:26,600
up across the board.
So it'll go for Virginia Tech as
874
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,300
well.
And you know, it starts with
875
00:54:29,300 --> 00:54:32,800
getting Comcast on board, with
the ACC Network, it starts with
876
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:38,300
better deal in terms of the
actual Financial figures per
877
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:47,200
School in the deal overall.
So that's the good, the bad, the
878
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,400
bad while, not the bottom of the
conference, in terms of
879
00:54:51,408 --> 00:54:55,000
donations, we are behind key
competitors.
880
00:54:56,100 --> 00:55:00,100
We are behind UVA.
Clemson FSU Louisville.
881
00:55:00,700 --> 00:55:03,800
And we're pretty much squared up
with UNC and that's again,
882
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,400
that's donations across all
sports.
883
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,500
So we're not just looking at
football, we're looking at
884
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:12,600
across all sports.
We're a shade better in
885
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:18,200
football, then then we are in
overall, but it's not, it's
886
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,000
negligible this.
Now let's say that this is 1920,
887
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,100
right?
This is 1920.
888
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,600
Yes, they don't have the the
fiscal information for the last
889
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,900
Last calendar year.
Yeah, we're getting scooped onto
890
00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:33,800
gifted.
Yeah, yeah.
891
00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:38,000
Well so and I know donations
have been trending up.
892
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,400
So we might be, we may be firmly
ahead of UNC, although UNC has
893
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,300
been on a big donation, push as
well so they may have matched us
894
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:50,200
there with some of the things
Mac has been doing.
895
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,100
Even though it hasn't translated
to wins like they like on the
896
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:57,000
field, but they have been making
a big push in recruiting and
897
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,400
that tends to help.
With donations and things like
898
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,100
that.
So more than likely, we're
899
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:06,900
probably pretty, pretty squared
up with you and see still, but
900
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:10,300
having UVA and obviously
Louisville most of thats
901
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:14,400
basketball.
Yeah, they're not doing a whole
902
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,300
lot on the football front, that
that's the team that we just we
903
00:56:17,300 --> 00:56:22,000
jump UVA, and, and Louisville.
When you just look at football
904
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:27,600
donations, okay, but overall,
we're lagging behind where
905
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:32,800
Almost 10 million behind
Louisville, in overall donations
906
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,900
and eight million behind.
Sorry, seven million behind UVA
907
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:39,100
and overall donations.
But the whole thing about
908
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:41,700
thinking over all donations
Brian, isn't it?
909
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,800
If their overall donating more
money to whatever sport Football
910
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,900
is the biggest pie.
So if there's some booster and
911
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:54,300
UVA getting two million to the
basketball program, the two
912
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,600
million that might come out of
the big media rights deal for
913
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,200
football.
We don't have to pay that over
914
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,300
there boosters taken care of it
with the big donation, right?
915
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,400
Yeah.
And when we looked at the chart
916
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,400
earlier, I've been the majority
of our donations or non
917
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,500
sport-specific so that's getting
divvied up on some degree of
918
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:17,000
percentage rate and that's
driving me five that's the drive
919
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,100
for 45 campaign.
Yeah.
920
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:21,600
And Clemson had a very similar
thing where they weren't
921
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,500
crushing Us in football
donations.
922
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:26,700
But if Tey it, we're going to
get to that in a second is like
923
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:34,100
out of the fucking ball park.
So now let's get to the ugly.
924
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:39,500
This is the one that I again I
need to look into more of where
925
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:44,300
Where this is going and what
we're doing.
926
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:51,100
But Licensing and ads.
We are behind pretty much
927
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:54,300
everyone in the ACC and the rest
of power 5.
928
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,800
We are ungodly low in this
bucket.
929
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Like we're just over two
million, most of the rest of the
930
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,000
ACC is eight million and up.
So I'm not sure.
931
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:13,100
Yeah, I'm not sure what we are
not doing or doing wrong in
932
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:18,700
this, this sector.
But that that is the biggest
933
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:24,100
area that we are lagging behind.
Even the bottom feeders in the
934
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:30,900
ACC in terms of Revenue?
Well, that mean to me, I would
935
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:34,500
say here that my first thought
is what we're in, Southwest
936
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:38,000
Virginia.
The biggest Metro city is
937
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,200
rolling up, north the other big
metros that we have so much.
938
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:47,500
Relationship with our hours upon
hours away.
939
00:58:48,300 --> 00:58:51,200
Yeah.
And there's also, there's also
940
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:57,900
other institutions that Our kind
of home basis for for those
941
00:58:57,900 --> 00:58:59,300
schools as well.
Right?
942
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,500
Well, it's true.
Car loan going off.
943
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:09,700
One moment.
Not my car alarm.
944
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:14,100
There we go.
Probably somebody sitting on a
945
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:17,200
key in their living rooms Show.
Ladies and Gentlemen, live show
946
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:24,800
what happens on but I think
we're it may show a real concern
947
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:30,500
is DC is one of the biggest
alumni markets.
948
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:33,300
Yep.
There's opportunity there
949
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:39,100
Charlotte Atlanta Richmond, the
75 and the beach Area.
950
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,600
Raleigh Winston-Salem you have
these Pockets where there are a
951
00:59:43,607 --> 00:59:49,500
ton of alumni?
Why aren't we attempting to get
952
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,000
some licensing and ads in those
areas?
953
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,300
Where there's something there to
sell.
954
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:58,700
Yeah, I don't know if this is
just the Classic VT running, the
955
00:59:58,700 --> 01:00:00,900
mom and pop organization on the
financial side.
956
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:05,300
In some cases where, you know,
we become mature in some areas
957
01:00:05,300 --> 01:00:10,300
of that and then others still
seem like they're stuck in, you
958
01:00:10,300 --> 01:00:14,500
know, the late 90s in terms of
how they go about the business.
959
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:18,100
So I don't know if it's more of
a combination of that or what
960
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,400
but that is that's where we are
giving up the most ground to
961
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:26,900
everyone else in our Yeah, and
because this looks not enough,
962
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:28,000
is it?
It's not enough for the
963
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,600
meteorites to compensate know,
so, just because we're tops in
964
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,400
meteorites, that's not
compensating for that drop off
965
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:41,900
and then, you know, donations
are only, you know, like we
966
01:00:41,900 --> 01:00:44,200
said, middle-of-the-road
overall.
967
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,600
So they're not bad, they're not
hurting us, but they're not
968
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,500
acting as a benefit and when you
talk about not just in the
969
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:56,400
conference but when you Look at
all of power 5, you know, when
970
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,500
you're competing against those
schools, especially ones that
971
01:00:59,500 --> 01:01:03,800
have those better media deals
donations become a bigger role
972
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,400
because they are something that
if you get the right motivation,
973
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:11,700
is easier to start stacking in
the bucket, right?
974
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,800
So, that's where we talked about
donations and saying donations,
975
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,900
e to improve.
Yeah, that's the easiest to
976
01:01:18,900 --> 01:01:21,500
improve.
So that's why it's pushed.
977
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:28,900
But so one of the thing I did
was look at some other schools
978
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:32,200
that we compare against and the
one I kept landing on based in
979
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,900
this was mostly based on kind of
historical, at least recent
980
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:40,400
history of the success of the
programs and the overall alumni
981
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,600
base, they're very similar.
So that's Michigan State
982
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,300
University.
And in terms of donations,
983
01:01:48,700 --> 01:01:51,900
pretty much right on the same
ballpark as Virginia Tech in
984
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:57,100
terms of the the The revenue in
the 1920 year for donations
985
01:01:57,100 --> 01:02:01,800
right at the 21 and a half
million range, okay.
986
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:07,800
But, but they are kicking our
butts in the in the one area we
987
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,800
suffer in and actually in also
in the area that we are best in.
988
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:17,100
So this this shows you how much
better the Big Ten deal is than
989
01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:22,800
the ACC meteorites for Michigan
State University.
990
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:27,500
Are 16 million higher.
So they are in the 44 million
991
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,500
and change range.
Good gracious.
992
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:35,100
Yeah.
Then you've got licensing ads.
993
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:41,100
They are 16 and a half million
so they are 14 million higher
994
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:47,000
than Virginia Tech in that one.
Budgetary bucket.
995
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:53,900
And those are the two buckets
where if you sum up, is actually
996
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:57,200
making up the difference between
our overall revenues because the
997
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,700
overall Revenue difference is
just over 30 million Virginia
998
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:06,000
Tech just under 100 million in
Michigan State, just over 130
999
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,900
million.
So those two areas the
1000
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:11,900
meteorites in the licensing and
ads are where the big
1001
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:15,400
differences.
Well, you're saying 30 overall
1002
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,300
and I'm just pulling this up
here, Brian.
1003
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:21,000
Now, if you want to pull it up
on the screen, Their total
1004
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:27,300
revenues 130 million, that's it
saying, because if you think
1005
01:03:27,300 --> 01:03:31,000
about where he and I'm, and I'm
going back and I'm, as you were
1006
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,000
saying all this, I'm pulling up
a map here about where East
1007
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,300
Lansing Michigan is East
Lansing.
1008
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:40,200
Michigan is about two hours West
of Detroit.
1009
01:03:40,700 --> 01:03:45,000
They're not Ann Arbor is
literally 45 minutes outside.
1010
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,900
We're Michigan is so that
license in hand Revenue?
1011
01:03:50,100 --> 01:03:54,400
Says a lot to me because I don't
know.
1012
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,900
They're not in a super rural
Grand Rapids has a couple hours
1013
01:03:57,900 --> 01:04:03,500
West they are there more in a I
don't know what you'd call it
1014
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:08,100
may be greater metro area where
you're going to hit CDs here and
1015
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:11,900
there.
But to have that sort of like,
1016
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:17,500
as in an ads, concerns me, can
you pull up and tell me just
1017
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:20,900
what the license and and
football are Because I want to
1018
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:23,700
see the difference there because
I mean, obviously, Michigan.
1019
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:26,500
State has is a Michigan State.
Basketball has been on the map
1020
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:29,100
for 25 years.
What's the difference in
1021
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:35,700
licensing?
Ad for football compared to So
1022
01:04:35,700 --> 01:04:37,500
for Virginia Tech.
Yeah.
1023
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:41,500
Alright, let's let's take a look
here.
1024
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:52,300
So, football is essentially a
little over half of that total,
1025
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,300
most of it.
Most of the rest goes into non
1026
01:04:56,300 --> 01:05:00,200
sport-specific, so I'm guessing
just general licensing of
1027
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:06,100
apparel and things like that.
Okay, so you like the other
1028
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:09,700
sport specific.
So like, if you would go out
1029
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:14,000
there and harshly, push the 1999
jerseys or some of the Pro
1030
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:19,300
Combat Uniforms from, Mid 2000's
or the early 2010's.
1031
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,600
So, in Michigan state has a very
classic uniform, right?
1032
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,700
You don't see them, go crazy all
of a sudden.
1033
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,000
Yeah, but they come sit here.
Thinking are we missing the
1034
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,800
opportunities there?
Where they're not.
1035
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:37,300
It's possible.
I I don't again they they don't
1036
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:42,800
separate this out ads versus
licensing so I'm not sure what
1037
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,400
what Michigan state is doing.
Well that we're not doing I just
1038
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,900
know that we're not doing doing
this to any degree that any
1039
01:05:49,900 --> 01:05:53,500
other power 5 school is.
So I don't think just geographic
1040
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:57,500
region has anything to do with
the hindrance there because
1041
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,600
there are other schools that
have a similar.
1042
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:08,300
You know, Geographic footprint
that are doing much better.
1043
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,600
Yeah.
And I like the way Braun because
1044
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,600
I can see the next two bronze.
I'm talking about here.
1045
01:06:13,700 --> 01:06:15,900
I like the way you pulled one
out of another conference
1046
01:06:16,500 --> 01:06:20,500
because when we think Michigan
State football, we are kind of
1047
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:22,400
on equals with them 20 years
ago.
1048
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,200
We were well ahead of them. 15
years ago, we were home in years
1049
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:26,400
ago.
We were well ahead of them.
1050
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,800
Five years ago is when you know
they made the playoffs, they've
1051
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,500
been more of a power than what
we've been.
1052
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:38,300
And I also think if you know,
you think about Michigan State
1053
01:06:38,300 --> 01:06:44,000
University, you know land-grant
school right down at about the
1054
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:52,000
same time back in the 1870s.
So age-wise, same age, same type
1055
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,800
donor base, so, you know and
like I said, overall alumni base
1056
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,600
is about the same.
They're a little A bit heavier
1057
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,900
and donations or like I said a
pretty much flat.
1058
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:04,100
I think actually Virginia Tech
has a small overall advantage in
1059
01:07:04,100 --> 01:07:06,900
donations, compared to Michigan
State.
1060
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,500
But again, they're making up for
that in those meteorites and
1061
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:15,500
Licensing and ads and then some,
but let's go ahead and turn back
1062
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:17,500
to the ACC.
And we're going to look at the
1063
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:21,700
obvious.
One here, Clemson and right off
1064
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:23,900
the bat, this one shot me.
I know what shocked you when I
1065
01:07:23,908 --> 01:07:25,900
put it on the, on the screen
there yet.
1066
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,300
Ginny attack. + 10 million on
Clemson in meteorites.
1067
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:37,000
Well, I can't explain that one.
They're close to made Metro
1068
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,800
areas there a Big Brand right
now.
1069
01:07:41,100 --> 01:07:44,800
They're a Big Brand where you
think they could be selling
1070
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,000
things in these meteorites for
so many different other
1071
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,500
opportunity.
Good Lord, a Disney movie made,
1072
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:57,100
ya know that get some distance
and again this is 1920 so that
1073
01:07:57,100 --> 01:08:00,300
would probably be in either.
Last year's numbers are going
1074
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:04,200
into next year's numbers but in
general.
1075
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:09,000
Yeah in general you would think
Clemson has has been in a
1076
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,200
situation where there meteorites
would be at least Least in the
1077
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,100
ballpark of Virginia Tech,
right?
1078
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,399
But they're not now football
those numbers are pretty even
1079
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,100
and actually Virginia Tech still
has a small Advantage there but
1080
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:23,600
but more or less.
They're even there.
1081
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,000
They're losing the ground in the
other sorts.
1082
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:30,000
Well, which kind of makes sense.
Yeah, we've all heard about the
1083
01:08:30,008 --> 01:08:33,100
donations in that campaign.
How much is that plus minus or
1084
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:34,899
Plus?
All right.
1085
01:08:34,899 --> 01:08:39,300
So the difference between
Clemson and really any other
1086
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:43,500
school is that they make up for
it in two areas and the biggest
1087
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:46,200
one is donations where they
double us up.
1088
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:55,100
So how much is a number?
They are at 44 million in
1089
01:08:55,100 --> 01:09:02,000
donations that in most of that
is the non sport-specific.
1090
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,899
Ipped a fundraising drive that
they have ran up to great
1091
01:09:08,899 --> 01:09:14,000
success.
And like I said, doubling up,
1092
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,800
Virginia Tech in that bucket is
significant, but they're also
1093
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,000
plus 10 million in licensing and
ads.
1094
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,600
So they're at that kind of 12
and a half million range.
1095
01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:27,899
They also do something that not
every public ACC institution
1096
01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:31,700
does and they actually have a
significant direct institutional
1097
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:37,200
support where they give five
million directly to their
1098
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:41,100
athletic department in direct
institutional support, whereas
1099
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:45,600
Virginia Tech It is in the like
bear, like 2,000.
1100
01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:50,200
It's a very small figure wasn't
the president of that school.
1101
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:57,400
Made the decision back a few
years ago that they were going
1102
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,200
to go all in.
It's out like by giving five to
1103
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,900
six million dollars.
It helps, right.
1104
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,000
Yeah.
The only other school that gives
1105
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,100
direct more as FSU in terms of
the publicly available
1106
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:13,500
information.
Okay, not helping them a lot
1107
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:17,700
now, but still it's a good.
But notes here here's the ones
1108
01:10:17,700 --> 01:10:22,600
that Here's the one I want to
talk about, let's I want to look
1109
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,800
at the donations, the direct
institutional support.
1110
01:10:26,300 --> 01:10:27,900
You got to have a president that
will in the write.
1111
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:34,300
Those checks, out of the out of
certain funds, to say here's 10
1112
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:42,700
million, the life incentive that
things, you know, makes sense,
1113
01:10:42,700 --> 01:10:45,400
right?
Last ten years, they won
1114
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:50,500
multiple national titles, tons
of NFL players, then you can go
1115
01:10:50,500 --> 01:10:52,900
actually go.
But here's the thing.
1116
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:55,300
The brand is out there.
Yes, yes.
1117
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,100
The brand somewhat cells Excel
itself.
1118
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:02,800
Yeah, here's the thing where I
think Virginia Tech has to
1119
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,700
figure out what it's doing
wrong.
1120
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:07,900
You know, the difference between
the amount of living alumni for
1121
01:11:07,900 --> 01:11:11,600
both schools, it's pretty
significant.
1122
01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:14,900
It is Clemson's.
And about 150,000 Virginia
1123
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:19,700
Tech's, it almost 240,000 and is
on the little that is ninety
1124
01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:22,600
thousand more give or take
alumni.
1125
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,300
Now a thousand more people, you
can attempt to reach out to to
1126
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:29,700
get funding from.
And again why did they start to
1127
01:11:29,700 --> 01:11:34,700
drive for 25 this because if you
can get just do the math for on
1128
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:38,400
if every single Virginia Tech
Alumni.
1129
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,600
Actually, you know what?
Let's go 80%.
1130
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:44,800
Yep.
You know, go 80% and say if a
1131
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:52,000
You know, 175,000 simply gave
$25 a year.
1132
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,500
Minimum, it's like a four
million dollar thing.
1133
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:00,500
That's not counting.
Your big donors is not counting
1134
01:12:00,500 --> 01:12:03,700
people.
Giving more now on, that's 25 a
1135
01:12:03,708 --> 01:12:05,100
year.
Now, if you said they're going
1136
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:12,200
to do a 25 every month, I mean
roof through the roof.
1137
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:18,600
Um, you essentially at like, 150
175 thousand 170,000 people
1138
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,600
you're looking at like 50
million It's three hundred
1139
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,700
dollars a year.
And you don't know everybody
1140
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:32,300
situation but if to push the
donation thing, the 25 was kind
1141
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:35,500
of an ingenious move to me.
You get people gone and they
1142
01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:40,200
give 25.
And then you say, you know, can
1143
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,000
you give 25 every month?
A lot of people will say, yeah,
1144
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,200
right.
Yeah, almost.
1145
01:12:47,300 --> 01:12:51,700
I mean, I don't think there's
anyone that can say, unless they
1146
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:55,000
are just so fed up with the
direction of a program or the
1147
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,100
athletic department, as a whole,
that they wouldn't give $25 a
1148
01:12:58,108 --> 01:12:59,900
year.
Yep.
1149
01:12:59,900 --> 01:13:06,000
I mean and then once you get $25
a year, all right, well now 50
1150
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,000
do too much even if you don't do
that, you get 25 every time,
1151
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,000
there's a seasonal fundraising
event.
1152
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:16,000
Yep.
You know, you get the, the ones
1153
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,300
that kind of come either,
whether it's giving day, whether
1154
01:13:18,300 --> 01:13:21,100
it's, you know, the stuff during
the season.
1155
01:13:21,100 --> 01:13:25,600
Whether it's a specific campaign
within basketball season or
1156
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,800
football season, you get like
five or six of those,
1157
01:13:28,900 --> 01:13:32,500
opportunities in a given
calendar year for fiscal year, I
1158
01:13:32,508 --> 01:13:37,700
should say and, you know, now
they start giving 25 every time
1159
01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:44,600
they're, you know, now that
starting to build so, It's a
1160
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,700
good campaign.
I'm hoping that we started
1161
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:51,200
seeing more and more
participation because I think
1162
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,300
the problem now isn't isn't the
dollars.
1163
01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:55,700
It's the, it's the
participation.
1164
01:13:55,700 --> 01:13:58,600
If we can get participation to
be a little bit closer to the
1165
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,300
goal.
Yeah, then I think you'll start
1166
01:14:01,300 --> 01:14:03,400
seeing, you know, and I'm not
saying we're going to get to
1167
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,300
Clemson numbers, but I think we
can match.
1168
01:14:05,300 --> 01:14:07,500
UVA numbers.
We just we're about to talk
1169
01:14:07,500 --> 01:14:09,100
about now.
What's good?
1170
01:14:09,300 --> 01:14:15,600
So we found from the UVA crowd.
Yeah, so The Big Chill again.
1171
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,400
Let's talk about is similar to
its not to the degree of
1172
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,800
Clemson, but it's very much in
the same.
1173
01:14:22,100 --> 01:14:26,700
Same vein.
We are behind six and a half
1174
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:32,400
million in donations to UVA
there in the the 27 and change
1175
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:38,200
million category there so we're
giving up some ground to UVA
1176
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,800
there.
A lot of that isn't football,
1177
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,300
some of that is basketball.
Some of that is just general
1178
01:14:42,300 --> 01:14:46,500
donations.
But it's still something we're
1179
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:51,600
lagging behind a department that
we consider ourselves to be
1180
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:56,900
better, then especially in
football and more recently
1181
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,100
catching them in overall
athletic prowess.
1182
01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:05,400
So let's talk about the other
piece of it.
1183
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,900
So we've talked about lagging
behind license tags, add that's
1184
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:10,600
been across the board.
We're behind eight million.
1185
01:15:12,100 --> 01:15:17,800
Compared to UVA placing ads.
What exactly are they publishing
1186
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,200
out there?
That people are?
1187
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:24,300
You know I'm guessing it's going
to be the basketball stuff.
1188
01:15:24,300 --> 01:15:26,200
That's the only thing I can
think of.
1189
01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:35,100
I can't imagine anything else
and I guess maybe.
1190
01:15:36,300 --> 01:15:38,600
I mean, they have a lot of
sports that they play at a high
1191
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,000
level, right.
Route.
1192
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,500
So so yeah.
They have a strong top to bottom
1193
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:47,200
athletic department even though
their football has legs
1194
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,700
significantly behind overall, 15
years.
1195
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Yeah, TV years.
Yeah.
1196
01:15:53,000 --> 01:16:00,600
So, I still don't get why we're
struggling, like I would, I
1197
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,200
don't have a problem that we're
behind in it.
1198
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,300
I have a problem.
How far we were behind it.
1199
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,000
Yeah, yeah.
Excellent.
1200
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,100
Well for them, for UVA as far as
don't know, Nations, never upset
1201
01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:13,600
me because there's always been
stories.
1202
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,500
They've had three or four and
large donors that love the
1203
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:19,500
athletic that they're not
stroking 1 million dollar checks
1204
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:23,600
their stroking, 10 million
dollar checks and of guys
1205
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,100
stroking that every year because
he's got the excess cash.
1206
01:16:26,300 --> 01:16:28,200
Josh.
That's tough to catch up.
1207
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:31,300
Clemson, did it the other way?
Clemson went volume.
1208
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:33,700
We're going to get as many
people involved in as much money
1209
01:16:33,700 --> 01:16:38,200
along big donors.
Again the license in an ad I
1210
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,200
just don't get it.
Do you talk about the basketball
1211
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:45,000
program?
You know, it seems to me and you
1212
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,400
said it before and we've heard
it before.
1213
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,400
It is the Mom and Pops
organization, that's running the
1214
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,700
donations, and that's running
things like that.
1215
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,600
It's not the donations.
The like, you can't do that.
1216
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,600
Pull up, pull up.
Pull up the screen, one more
1217
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,700
time run.
Just just just so everybody can
1218
01:17:05,700 --> 01:17:11,600
realize this Scroll down just a
little bit so we can see total
1219
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,100
revenues no no revenues uh my
bad.
1220
01:17:16,300 --> 01:17:18,000
We're a hundred million dollar
athletic.
1221
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,400
We are 100 million dollar
business.
1222
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:27,200
A hundred million dollars.
I'm in the insurance business.
1223
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,400
I see many businesses every day
that do not have that sort of
1224
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:36,000
gross income.
So what this tells me is,
1225
01:17:38,500 --> 01:17:41,200
They've got to spend more money
on operations, more people,
1226
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:46,400
updating it you said it earlier
on, it's not the 1990 still you
1227
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,600
cannot recruit and we've had
several conversations on this,
1228
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,800
you know, on this podcast before
about it.
1229
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:55,700
Yeah.
And I don't think what we're
1230
01:17:55,700 --> 01:17:58,200
saying I'm not I'm not saying I
know Curtis isn't saying that
1231
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,000
either.
We're not saying if financials
1232
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,100
improved so we'll product It's a
piece of the pie, it's not the
1233
01:18:05,100 --> 01:18:06,600
whole puzzle.
No, it's not.
1234
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,700
There's a lot of things that
have to improve recruiting
1235
01:18:09,700 --> 01:18:12,400
overall, not just the investment
in recruiting, but you got to
1236
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,600
get better at recruiting and
closing.
1237
01:18:14,900 --> 01:18:18,000
Yep.
You got to get better on in-game
1238
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,100
adjustments, you.
I mean, there's there's a lot of
1239
01:18:20,108 --> 01:18:24,200
things that are related to the
coaching staff directly that
1240
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:28,700
still need to be fixed, but if
you want to set up anyone for
1241
01:18:28,700 --> 01:18:31,400
Success, finances have to get
better.
1242
01:18:31,900 --> 01:18:34,700
And you know what we talked
about It last week to Brian,
1243
01:18:35,500 --> 01:18:39,300
give wit credit where we are
financially from where when he
1244
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:42,300
came in after Jim Weaver, we're
well ahead.
1245
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,300
We talked about it last week.
Remember, and you sit and you
1246
01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:49,700
said specifically and this was
before this reporting came out,
1247
01:18:49,700 --> 01:18:53,400
we're better financially than
what we were six years or seven
1248
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:58,700
years ago and that's big.
We can be better though and I
1249
01:18:58,700 --> 01:19:03,600
think now that, you know,
obviously the next tires Big and
1250
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:10,400
football for with very big and
when he's going through that
1251
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:13,700
interview, I think, if you have
someone from the marketing
1252
01:19:13,700 --> 01:19:15,400
department, talking to him,
right?
1253
01:19:15,700 --> 01:19:17,600
Like listen let you know, we
want a great football coach.
1254
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,500
We want a guy who's can get can
motivate the kids can recruit.
1255
01:19:21,900 --> 01:19:25,100
But we also want somebody out
there that can sell the program,
1256
01:19:26,500 --> 01:19:30,000
they can sell the program, sell
the program, get the donors,
1257
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,000
make the donors, happy and some
of that's, you know, or feel
1258
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
proud.
Well, the dogs, but some of that
1259
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,800
is talking to the donors
conversations with the donors
1260
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:40,900
access.
Like, there's so many things
1261
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:45,800
that this this regime has not
done well that effect held
1262
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,700
owners are willing to hand over
their funds.
1263
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:53,500
But after seeing this tonight to
Brian the licensing and adds,
1264
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,500
yeah, if you have something
that's something that doesn't
1265
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:59,200
really.
That's an internal thing.
1266
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:03,600
It's an internal thing, but if
you have a more, if you Mike
1267
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:09,000
young right now.
Tell me that there's virtually
1268
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,900
not going to be someone that
loves hockey basketball enough
1269
01:20:13,300 --> 01:20:17,400
that has some big company that
is going to be willing to stroke
1270
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:23,200
a big check to say.
I want to sponsor this I want
1271
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,200
Virginia Tech stuff on my
merchandise.
1272
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:32,200
Yeah you got to have that sort
of personality Who can go out
1273
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:36,100
and sell the program and then
convince well, I'm going to buy
1274
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,900
some ads.
Yeah, I want to do this.
1275
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:41,400
I want to put your logo on the
side of my.
1276
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:45,400
I've got my company Polo and I
want your logo over here.
1277
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,000
So, how much do I haven't do?
We talk about it.
1278
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
Amazon deals sponsoring
football.
1279
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,100
I mean we've got a relationship
with Amazon in place.
1280
01:20:56,100 --> 01:21:00,600
Now let's go ahead and give us
100 million.
1281
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,600
Yeah, I think I think the
problem is that with football.
1282
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:08,500
They limit the small
sponsorships, but they are very
1283
01:21:08,500 --> 01:21:12,600
stuck in these.
We have these relationships that
1284
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:16,300
we've had for four years and
we're sticking with them.
1285
01:21:16,700 --> 01:21:21,000
We're not looking for new like
it's very much a we have what we
1286
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,200
have and We're happy with it so
we're not, we're not touching
1287
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,300
it, the brand is bigger, go
after something else.
1288
01:21:29,300 --> 01:21:33,300
I'm going to give you massive
Kudos, great research job on
1289
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:35,500
this.
Hoping opening people's eyes.
1290
01:21:35,500 --> 01:21:39,300
Go to sport Eco.
Go to the SEC and look what a
1291
01:21:39,300 --> 01:21:41,800
program.
Like, Arkansas are your sales
1292
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,700
like 137 million dollars Revenue
a year.
1293
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,800
And I know a lot of that's from
meteorites, but they've got a
1294
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,200
lot of other stuff going on,
too.
1295
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:52,700
All right, Brian, let's talk
about Saturday, picking for we
1296
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:57,000
close it up tonight on Rhine
rough week.
1297
01:21:57,500 --> 01:21:59,400
Yeah, it was bad.
It was bad.
1298
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Brian went 3 and 7 got pit.
Got BC.
1299
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:14,700
Got it.
NC State do not get into the
1300
01:22:14,700 --> 01:22:16,400
state.
My bad.
1301
01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:29,700
Hold on here, I got pit I got
See, who did I get BC in
1302
01:22:29,700 --> 01:22:31,000
Michigan?

1303
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,600
Yep, that was the other one.
All right, so I'm like, don't
1304
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:41,100
Brown 13 and 759 and fifty two.
And one.
1305
01:22:41,700 --> 01:22:44,300
I went everywhere.
We differed you were right.
1306
01:22:46,300 --> 01:22:48,600
Three.
Yeah, the Notre Dame, UVA game.
1307
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:55,600
Brian was expecting Armstrong to
play, he didn't I went five and
1308
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,700
five.
So up to change some stuff up
1309
01:22:57,700 --> 01:22:59,700
here.
I miss the look.
1310
01:22:59,700 --> 01:23:03,700
I thought I took weight but I
didn't coin flip situation for
1311
01:23:03,700 --> 01:23:08,200
me this week and you know we you
feel like in this we got like
1312
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:13,400
Miami had it covered.
Gave up a fourth and 14 and then
1313
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:17,900
the touchdown to lose the game.
MC State lost what?
1314
01:23:17,900 --> 01:23:23,500
By 3 you have to and you lose
about three, it's gut-wrenching,
1315
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:32,000
the Baylor, Oklahoma game.
I went Baylor, I don't know why,
1316
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,400
I guess I just thought home
field but you know one of those
1317
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,000
weekend's, the one that I think
shocked me and you more than
1318
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:45,200
anything.
Pitt Bean UNC by touchdown.
1319
01:23:46,900 --> 01:23:53,200
Pitt had a really off night.
But cuse, Louisville.
1320
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:57,000
Yeah.
Did anybody see that coming?
1321
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,900
Nah Louisville.
Jumped on their ass early too.
1322
01:24:01,900 --> 01:24:04,400
They did and it wasn't like
turnovers or anything like that.
1323
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:09,100
Because I was when I open that
the game, the stats Central for
1324
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:12,000
that I would expect to see I
Schrader probably threw three
1325
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:16,800
picks or they fumble or return.
Yeah, so no baby a pig six.
1326
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,600
Maybe a scoop and score it.
Some bad Plumbing.
1327
01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:22,400
Yeah.
They had bad plumbing.
1328
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:28,300
And that was it.
So I don't know Tennessee hung
1329
01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:31,600
in there with Georgia for a
while but I was talked.
1330
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:35,800
With my father-in-law really
today and is some about Georgia.
1331
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,500
It was ten nothing earlier,
right?
1332
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,700
We're ten Seven, Ten seven
early.
1333
01:24:41,700 --> 01:24:44,700
Yeah.
How quick to Kirby Smart adjust.
1334
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,100
Second quarter, He adjusted put
Tennessee was in Tennessee.
1335
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:51,900
Couldn't readjust second quarter
heat, adjust it.
1336
01:24:51,900 --> 01:24:56,200
And by the second half, it was
locked down over and it's crazy
1337
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,900
because what I was talking about
with him was when you have that
1338
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:04,000
many much talent on the field,
you can adjust that quick.
1339
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,600
Most teams just like, we have to
get to have time to figure this
1340
01:25:08,700 --> 01:25:11,600
out.
We can't adjust on the fly like
1341
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,200
this, because most, they
adjusted they adjusted on the
1342
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,000
fly to stop any bleeding.
Eating and then they made
1343
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,900
full-on adjustments that lock
them.
1344
01:25:18,900 --> 01:25:26,000
The hell down at halftime.
It was crazy to see that go on.
1345
01:25:28,100 --> 01:25:30,500
I'm not jealous here.
Brian anything breaking?
1346
01:25:31,500 --> 01:25:34,600
I haven't seen anything.
Come across buddy, right?
1347
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:38,500
I am updating.
I'm adding 1 to my loss column
1348
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:48,100
and Take it away one.
So I am 64 and 44 now, just so
1349
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:49,800
you got.
So, I got some ground to make up
1350
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,400
next week.
He's got ground bronze.
1351
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,700
Going to have to just go
opposite view every time I got
1352
01:25:56,700 --> 01:25:59,200
to go at least war against you
every week from here, on out.
1353
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,500
If I'm going to make up some
ground, nothing for against us,
1354
01:26:02,500 --> 01:26:07,100
for two weeks, then you have to
choose every championship game
1355
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:08,800
against me, that's going to be
fun.
1356
01:26:10,900 --> 01:26:13,200
And then bowl games.
It can happen.
1357
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,800
Olga, it can't happen.
It is possible.
1358
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,000
All right.
