James Franklin is officially the new head football coach for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The committee zeroed in on their primary target early and the process and after much hand wringing were able to close the deal on one of the best coaches available. We talk about the effects of this hire before opening it up to the audience to give their takes on what the James Franklin hire means for the Hokies.

spring, summer or fall?
Think about Moments on the Mori,
12
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,400

13

at Moments on the Mori at their
Instagram page.
16
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440
We finally got here, y'all?
Hey, Adam.
17
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,440
We got our guy, we got our guy.
Did we think it was going to
18
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
happen?
You know what, there was moments
19
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840
where I was like, I don't know
if they're going to close the
20
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,040
deal.
I don't know if they're close,
21
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,240
close the deal.
It was, it was a very 6-7
22
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,840
situation.
Like I I don't know what was
23
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200
going to happen.
Only hear about that 19 times a
24
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
day in my household.
It it, it was, it was.
25
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,240
Is it going to happen?
Are we going to get big boy?
26
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Are we going to have the balls
enough to probably make the next
27
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,360
three years happen?
I think probably there's that's
28
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,000
been put to rest because there
were people questioning can we
29
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,520
hit those numbers?
I got a feeling I don't think
30
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,520
Jane Franklin would have signed
the dotted line unless that
31
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
money was guaranteed.
So.
32
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,520
But here we are.
We are here to tell the truth
33
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
tonight.
We are trying to get Tally on.
34
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,640
I don't know Brian, do you?
Do you got a message from him
35
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,920
before we start opening?
Up for getting Alabama Internet
36
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
issues?
He needs to just get on his damn
37
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,320
phone and hold it up like this.
Like I did this morning on Big
38
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Dog.
Yeah, if y'all didn't catch
39
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Brown on Big Dog this morning.
Technical difficulties there.
40
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,280
As well.
Hey, you know what sometimes you
41
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,240
got to do what you got to do.
Sometimes you, you bring your
42
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760
work computer in and you, you
forwarded the the link to join
43
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720
to your work computer and it
doesn't make it through the
44
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,080
firewall and you got to, you got
to go with Brown too there, so.
45
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,880
You, you got to do.
We thought Tally got better
46
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Wi-Fi too.
We thought he got what was it?
47
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Starlink is.
That it Nah, Google Fiber,
48
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Google Fiber, although that was
that was before he moved.
49
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200
So I don't I don't know what
he's got at the news place.
50
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,000
I can't.
Remember what he.
51
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Did or if he went with the same
thing.
52
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,520
So you know what we're going,
we're going to let this thing
53
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,040
ride.
He's going to join us as soon as
54
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,520
he can.
I think he's probably doing like
55
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
a router restart, you know the
the whole deal there.
56
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,440
So we didn't want to hold this
thing back too much longer.
57
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
We're going to let him join when
he jumps in, but we got a big
58
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720
one tonight.
Huge.
59
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
It's been obviously with James
Franklin with the announcement
60
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,800
yesterday, you know, one of the
probably the biggest, maybe the
61
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
biggest coach empire in ACC
history, definitely the biggest
62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,640
coach empire in 1st.
In fact, it's definitely the
63
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,360
biggest question.
He put it in there at 8:30.
64
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,840
He was ready.
Ready to rock, Justin?
65
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,680
Ready to rock Shelton before we
go out letting everybody get on.
66
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,080
You've been busting your ass
today.
67
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,480
Tell everybody what you got
coming up.
68
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,240
I'm assuming it's going to get
dropped tomorrow.
69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Yes, tomorrow morning.
Yep.
70
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Yeah, so so.
We're yeah, do an article for
71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,840
the key play thekeyplay.com.
You can check out and become a
72
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,840
member too, because we got some
pretty good content this week
73
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,680
and going forward.
Obviously this big hire.
74
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280
But I just kind of I did a
little bit of a deep dive into
75
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,960
his resume.
Obviously you can, you know,
76
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,000
look at yourself, but just
talking about, you know, the
77
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,880
fact that I think it's on paper
the most credentialed to hire in
78
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,920
ACC football history.
You could argue maybe Mark Rick
79
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,240
at Georgia taking Miami job was
up there, maybe Bill Belichick.
80
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,880
But outside of that, I mean,
this is just one of the most
81
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080
proven hires that you know, any
team in this league has ever
82
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,760
had.
And I talked about maybe some of
83
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160
the misconceptions about coach
Franklin.
84
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,160
You know, the big game narrative
is a little bit overblown.
85
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600
You know, in game coaching, I
talk about that and just kind of
86
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,160
what is what is perception is
there among among the football
87
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,880
industry.
So it was pretty, it was pretty
88
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,720
informative too.
And I think we'll talk about it.
89
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,800
You know, some of the numbers
that I, I, I did, I found in my
90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,720
research, But I think by and
large, big thing is just this
91
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,680
dude is an ace recruiter.
He develops talent, he puts guys
92
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,040
in the league and he wins games.
And bottom line is he's a
93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,120
winner.
And so we're getting a proven
94
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920
winner at the, at the powerful
level.
95
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,240
And I think I think it's
awesome.
96
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,560
I think we should all be stoked.
Yeah, I mean, this is just it's
97
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,680
a big time hire.
I know.
98
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,600
You know when when Sheldon was
first talking about this, you
99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,560
see in some of the numbers
especially like win percentage
100
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,440
against unranked teams.
She'll just drop that on us
101
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:27,400
right before. 104 and 23. 80.9.
Yeah, when we when we talk about
102
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,160
like what what's been the
problem with the Hokies
103
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,680
especially, you know, the end of
the the Beamer days and and so
104
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,720
forth, Like the biggest problem
is we're not winning the games
105
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,800
we should win.
And Franklin has proved
106
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,840
historically that he takes care
of most of those games.
107
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,840
So I'm excited.
I'm just, I'm ecstatic.
108
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,960
I, I know we're going to let
some folks get in here and tell,
109
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
tell their, tell their truths on
this thing.
110
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,880
But man, I'm, I'm pumped.
I I think some of the the
111
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,080
Florida State and Arkansas tears
on the timeline have been a a
112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
fucking highlight for me as
well.
113
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Awesome, it's been so the.
Meltdown, the meltdown of like,
114
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,040
I mean, we're, we're, you got
people hyping up Fayetteville.
115
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Like has anyone ever hyped up
Fayetteville as like the the,
116
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,560
the spot, the destination?
No.
117
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320
So like I don't know what we're
doing.
118
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,360
I, I, I, I don't know what they
were doing either.
119
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,320
And it was the whole in, in that
it was like y'all had no shot at
120
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,560
him and you know, Florida
State's coming, Florida State's
121
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,920
coming well, Florida State never
came because Florida State ain't
122
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
got the money right now.
They're honest to God the.
123
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,560
State has blue balls.
So, you know, and as far as
124
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Arkansas goes, it's like they've
had what 3 did Sean, did you put
125
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680
this out here?
Did you put Arkansas has had
126
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480
like 3-10 win season in the last
40 years?
127
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
No, that was something else, but
I did see that tweet.
128
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,160
OK, good.
You saw the tweet then and it's
129
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
like, oh, so no, you guys aren't
that good.
130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200
It was sweet getting their tears
because now they don't know who
131
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,600
the hell they're getting and
it's going to be pretty awesome.
132
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Commits, decommits, crystal
balls, art source with fun
133
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640
stuff.
But again, we we advertisements
134
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
that is we're still waiting on
tally, but we're going to keep
135
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
we're going to get it rolling.
Brian's going to drop the link
136
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:25,880
in all of the necessary places.
So click on it.
137
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Come in again.
Y'all know how this works.
138
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240
We're not going to talk an hour.
We're not talking 50 minutes.
139
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Give you a point why you like it
or if you hate it.
140
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,960
If you absolutely hate this
hire, come tell why you hate it.
141
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
I can't imagine too many people
absolutely hating this I.
142
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Think I know one.
I know one who hates.
143
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,760
It there might be varying
degrees of wait and see, might
144
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960
be varying degrees of wait and
see, but you know what?
145
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Look who's here.
He's back.
146
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560
He's back.
We good now.
147
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,160
Just keep moving your hand like
this.
148
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,600
So we know Sally, I was just
giving them what you always give
149
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,640
them.
There we go.
150
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,320
You ain't, you ain't allowed to
to talk for an hour.
151
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,560
Get in, Tell you why you like
it, tell you why you hate it,
152
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:15,800
tell you what you're looking
forward to.
153
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,920
All that fun stuff.
So, oh, Sicra is actually James
154
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,320
Franklin.
Y'all didn't know that?
155
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,440
There it is right there.
He's actually James Franklin.
156
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600
He told you the whole time.
So Brian's dropping that in all
157
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,680
the chats.
Brian, Twitter let you get it
158
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,080
everywhere and y'all.
Throw it.
159
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,520
I'm throwing it out there right
now.
160
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,440
We had somebody jump in and then
he jumped back out.
161
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160
He said he was going to be.
He originally originally said
162
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
he's going to be ready between
93945I don't know if he was
163
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,920
jumping on early, just trying to
get things rolling, but I'm sure
164
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,160
that that he will be making an
appearance here before we close
165
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,040
this thing out.
Absolutely.
166
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160
So y'all see the IT is in there
now.
167
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,840
It's on Facebook, it's on
YouTube.
168
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,560
I don't know if you got it on
Twitter yet, Brian.
169
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
It doesn't really drop on
Twitter because the Twitter
170
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,240
doesn't have a comments but if
if you're on Twitter want to

Yeah, so DM podcast.

want the mic and I'll DM you.

00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Perfect, perfect.
So yeah, drop it in there.

00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520
So tally you, you've been
sitting out the 1st 10 minutes.

176
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,800
Hold on.
Hold on, Oh man, do we lose him
177
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,720

No, no, he, he, he had to tell
178
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,440
you what he's thinking.

Let's celebrate.
That's what I'm thinking.
186
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,640
There we go, all.

187
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,040

00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,400
them all.
Right.
191
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,520
That's right.
That's right.
192
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Go ahead, Josh.
Yeah, no, sorry, hold on.
193
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,240
I'm in the middle of dinner and.
Podcast.
194
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Timing is perfect.
We're live, everybody.
195
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000
This is we, we don't, we're not
stuck.
196
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,080
So go ahead.
You, you, you've joined us a
197
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
couple times.
What's your feelings towards it?
198
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Good, bad, indifferent, and what
you're most excited about or
199
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,280
least excited about.
I am super excited.
200
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,480
I feel like, as we all should
be, literally it's only been day
201
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,600
one out of like a day and a half
of us having Franklin and we're
202
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,960
already reaping the benefits in
a positive way.
203
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,120
I don't know if y'all saw it but
I think his name is like Tim
204
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Thomas or something off Twitter.
We already got a donation
205
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,240
verbatim if it's true or not.
A donation of like 9:50 to 20
206
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,160
million already and it's
literally Franklin day one on
207
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280
the recruiting front this
Saturday is massive.
208
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Like we already got a crystal
ball for that four-star QB out
209
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,360
of California and a bunch home.
More four stars coming.
210
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,480
So I'm definitely excited.
I popped in the chat too and I
211
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,760
was like, dare I say we back?
But we got to wait and see how
212
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,440
his staff shakes out, which I
think that'll determine what our
213
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
ceiling looks like if we make
all the right hires.
214
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,120
And I think we're in a great
spot.
215
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,280
Yeah, I agree with you.
Who do, who do you think Like do
216
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
you have any name circled of
guys you want to see on this
217
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
staff or you have you thought
that far through it at this
218
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,160
point?
The only thing that I've kind of
219
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,880
seen a little bit is for like OC
kind of names obviously floating
220
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,920
around Joe Moorehead.
Now you can take that grain of
221
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000
salt, however, now if we could
have a running back like Saquon
222
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,800
in that Joe Morehead offense,
then I'm OK.
223
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,880
I'd be down for it.
And then I'm wondering if we
224
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:26,200
could throw enough money at
Ricky at ODU if I give him an
225
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,040
OK.
We can because he's only making
226
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,680
$800,000 and with this new
budget, Oh yeah, we could, we
227
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,240
could double.
I'm going to Would y'all say
228
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640
double that?
We could, I think, I think
229
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,480
you're at least going to hit 1.5
on that.
230
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,360
So like you're, you're, you're
getting damn close to Dublin.
231
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,880
And if we could make it a
package deal if Colton Joseph
232
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,280
goes in the portal, I mean,
that's that would be great in a
233
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,480
sense too.
So get the OC with an
234
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,320
established quarterback in that
system.
235
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,120
I mean, we saw what he did to us
at home, so we know dude's a
236
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
baller.
Yeah, definitely having a really
237
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760
good season this year.
So Josh seems excited about it.
238
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,440
Josh, this is the third time
you've joined us, man, we really
239
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,040
appreciate.
But we got somebody waiting in
240
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,520
the green room.
We're going to we, we're going
241
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,320
to do this more often than you
can see.
242
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,160
But appreciate you all jumping
on with us.
243
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,960
Yeah, of course.
Thanks for having me fellas.
244
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Appreciate it man.
Thanks, appreciate.
245
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Yeah, you too.
Tyler, look who is up next.
246
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
There is, hey.
What's ready?
247
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,480
What's going on?
How?
248
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,440
You feeling how you feeling?
I like that.
249
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,600
I like this.
What's what's been the what's
250
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,840
what's been the the feeling on
your side there, man.
251
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Man, he bought the kill the
recruiting in this 757 man like
252
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,800
I'm ecstatic.
I like this that's.
253
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,480
What that's?
So Andre, you were on with us a
254
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280
couple about a month ago, right?
That's when we had a big episode
255
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,680
where everybody talked about it
when the rumors were coming
256
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
through, you know what we might
get it.
257
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Did you believe it?
Did you believe like we could
258
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,400
get to that level?
I.
259
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Wanted us to reach a little
higher.
260
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
I mean, for that kind of money,
I was trying to see what's up
261
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,680
with saving Irving.
I want big dogs man, but but
262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,520
I'm.
Cool with Frank?
263
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Nope.
Look.
264
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,960
I don't have no ill will with
this hire.
265
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
I think he going to put us in
the right position at least to
266
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,480
make the playoffs within the
first two years.
267
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
We take it national championship
later, but first two years we
268
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,960
should be in the playoffs.
Yeah, I mean, you know, Sheldon
269
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,840
talked about it like as far as
like credentialed hires and
270
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560
things like that, guys with like
resumes to talk about.
271
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,800
This is definitely a big time
move for Virginia Tech.
272
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,120
I think, you know, like, like
Josh was saying before you
273
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,400
jumped on here reaping the
benefits already on the
274
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680
recruiting front, some on the
money front.
275
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,120
You know, looking at the buzz
that we're getting in the
276
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840
national media, I think like
people are paying attention to
277
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,920
the Hokies and what they're
doing.
278
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,840
I think we're moving a little
bit differently than we have
279
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,440
been on that front.
So I'm excited.
280
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,240
I know I asked Josh this the
last time you got anybody
281
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,640
circled on your your assistant
list that you'd like to see come
282
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:29,120
along with with Mr. Franklin?
Yeah, I want Anthony Poindexter
283
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,600
there.
We go, there we go.
284
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120
I was on Big Dog this morning.
I was like, you know, they were
285
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,720
talking about he was, he asked
me who I want.
286
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,960
I was like, let's get Dex down
here, let's do it.
287
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,200
But you know.
I'm I had a funny story like 2
288
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,880
weeks ago.
I'm just like yeah let me ask my
289
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Alexis.
So I asked Alexis about James
290
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Franklin and she came out and
said James Franklin.
291
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Is the coach of Virginia.
Tech for seven years, 63
292
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,160
billion.
I'm like what?
293
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920
And I put it in the chat.
This is probably like 2 shows
294
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,040
ago maybe when he's playing
Louisville, maybe that was the
295
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,400
time.
I'm like, did she just say that
296
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,920
for real?
That's all.
297
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
I'm hyped though man.
I like it.
298
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,599
Some big players.
I'm tired of these little ass
299
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,920
players.
I think we about to play big boy
300
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,760
football.
Tally what you think, man.
301
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,520
I like it man.
I'm excited.
302
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,960
When we talked about coaching,
coaching highs, that was my guy.
303
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,400
So I'm glad we pulled it off.
I'm excited about it.
304
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,080
I heard y'all say something
about the kid from ODU.
305
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,200
You think we can get help,
Ronnie?
306
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,480
Ronnie.
Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
307
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,360
What's his name?
Ricky, Ronnie.
308
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Yeah.
I mean, I think, I think he's
309
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,480
definitely somebody that you got
to at least ask the question of,
310
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,880
right?
Like, like, like Curtis was
311
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,080
saying, I think, you know, he's
not making a ton of money down
312
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,720
there.
I think it makes sense to, you
313
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,960
know, set your targets that way.
I mean, that's somebody that
314
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,720
comes from his coaching tree.
So it's not, you know, not not
315
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,200
out of the realm.
The relationship's already
316
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,600
there.
So I mean, I'm, I'm definitely
317
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
giving him a call and making him
tell me no A. 100%.
318
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Franklin Slick, man.
Franklin Slick.
319
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,160
Think about this.
He was at a like, what other
320
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,960
coaches, you know, get fired and
then be on the sidelines at
321
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,360
somebody else's game, right?
Like, he just pop up in Norfolk,
322
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,640
like, I'm just going to this
game to support my homeboy out
323
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,760
here eating with the fans.
And, you know, he already knew
324
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,560
he was going to Virginia Tech by
that time.
325
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,200
You know he did.
You know he was just waiting for
326
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,160
all the legal shit to get done.
Yeah, what kind of, what kind of
327
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,360
conversations was being had, You
know what I'm saying in them
328
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,280
back room.
But I don't know man.
329
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,800
I was scared of I was thinking
we might because he's so close.
330
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,160
I was scared of the guy from
JMUI.
331
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000
Think he a great.
Coach, I just didn't want us to
332
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,600
go that way this time.
Like let's go, let's go deep sea
333
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,160
fishing.
If we going, let's go.
334
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840
We hunting for great whites.
We don't want these punk ass
335
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,200
little fish man.
Let's go for green fish man.
336
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240
Like you know, it's what we
doing man.
337
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,760
But I'm gonna let somebody get
on.
338
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,560
Yeah.
Well, first.
339
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Of all my point, like that was
my point.
340
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,480
If I if we're going to spend the
money, let's spend the money on
341
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,720
a big fish.
Let's not spend the money on a
342
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,680
on a project.
I mean, and it could have worked
343
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,240
out fine.
But you know, I feel like of of
344
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,120
the coaches that were out there
that seemed reasonable, that
345
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,000
seemed feasible for Virginia
Tech to pull.
346
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840
I think we did about as good as
you could expect.
347
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,160
Yeah, 100%, man, 100%.
Well, Andretti, as always, we
348
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320
appreciate you jumping on with
us a few minutes, man.
349
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,920
Hopefully soon we catch you in
Blacksburg for a game.
350
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,520
All right, I've.
Seen some games for like 10 the
351
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:50,360

Go for it for Miami, go for it
352

Wow.
Week y'all.
365
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,720
What's going on?
Not much is why that's Jeremy
366
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:43,840
Baltimore more or not, I am
really excited right now.
367
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,040
I know you knew about this a
long time before it happened,
368
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,160
you just didn't tell them about
it.
369
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,080
No, no, no, I, I found out as
like you all were finding out.
370
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Yeah, we we had a a heads up
around the same time.
371
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,920
OK.
All right.
372
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Just wanted to make sure.
We got the green flag about the
373
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800
same time.
I love hearing that man.
374
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,280
Yes, it started, but I mean,
that's The thing is we were all
375
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,200
getting OK.
It's it's about to come.
376
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,520
We all you know, we're hearing
that, but like the hold UPS,
377
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
like they weren't bullshitting
us.
378
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,280
There were legitimate hold ups
and you can't blame James
379
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,600
Franklin for wanting pen to
paper on our end to make sure
380
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,200
that money was coming in before
he saw, you know, Yeah.
381
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440
So.
It's, you know, I get it.
382
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,840
Yeah, I feel like we were
getting, we got edge for about 3
383
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,000
weeks.
But you know what?
384
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,080
It turned out all right once it
finally came.
385
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,840
Yeah, can I say something real
quick, Jeremy, to what Tally
386
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160
said a couple weeks ago.
A guy like him was going to get
387
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,120
that money in the door, though.
Yeah, a guy like James Franklin
388
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,480
was going to get that money in
the door.
389
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,720
That's the thing, is that at
first, whenever Franklin started
390
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,880
getting thrown around, and I
will admit it now, like I'm a A,
391
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,080
I'm a proud man and usually
don't admit when I'm wrong.
392
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,800
That's actually a lie.
Admit when I'm wrong.
393
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,440
But when they first started
throwing it around, we were
394
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
fresh off the, he was fresh off
the Northwestern loss.
395
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,200
And I was like, no, there's no
way we can't do that.
396
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,360
And then I you all especially
started bringing me around to it
397
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,360
a little.
More and my God we could not
398
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,000
have made a better fucking hire.
Like immediately getting
399
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,760
recruits in the door from our
goddamn area, immediately
400
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280
turning shit around.
He's going to bring half that
401
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,200
Penn State glass.
Like we're we're going to be
402
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,080
legit quickly he's.
Going to hit the portal.
403
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,280
This is awesome.
I've not been excited about
404
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,360
football for ages.
The closest we came.
405
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,600
With Have You Jeremy, Have you
renewed your season tickets yet?
406
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,320
You said what?
Have you renewed your season
407
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
tickets yet?
I renew them every year.
408
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,680
I've not got to go.
I usually just give them away to
409
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,200
everybody.
Yeah, I was going to say renew
410
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,240
one for me and let me have one.
He said renew 1 for me.
411
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Yeah, but I'm definitely going
to have to go next year, even
412
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,360
though I've got a second little
1 coming, which is yeah, you do
413
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,480
like it's hard to get the ball
games.
414
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,440
So I just I bought my tickets
and I tried to give them away to
415
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,920
whoever I.
Make sure you know at least
416
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,720
someone's enjoying them but.
I don't want to give a.
417
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,240
Spot up, so I keep.
Give it up, I'll give it up.
418
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Well, how about this?
We will in the spring.
419
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,280
We will pinpoint a date.
We'll try to get shelter there.
420
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,320
We'll try to get shelter there.
It's just tougher to get shelter
421
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,160
than us.
But we will pinpoint a date.
422
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,440
And then you will just tell your
wonderful wife, Emily, I'm going
423
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,840
to the game today and I'm going
to come back probably blacked
424
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,640
out.
Just an FYI.
425
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880
That's what we're.
Well, if we land far enough
426
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,360
ahead of time, you know, hey,
you're going to do this.
427
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,160
And she said no.
I kept telling you I was going
428
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,040
to do it.
So yeah, but Jeremy, appreciate
429
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,680
you jumping on Jeremy.
Circle your calendar sometime
430
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,280
next month, the state of the
program.
431
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,720
And it's going to be a really
fun episode because our buddy
432
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,320
Robbie just says.
Oh.
433
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,720

You brother.

00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,360
special guest to another all
time special guest.
437
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Dwight he is.
What's going on?
438
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080
You got the pot, you got the pot
we cooking.
439
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,880
No cooking tonight, man.
I may, I may save it.
440
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,840
I post it here.
I may bring it out.
441
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,880
I'm gonna wait till like we get
to the Season 1 when Franklin's
442
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,240
got the headset on and we we
playing somebody like Miami or
443
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,040
something or a big game.
I'm going to bring it out.
444
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,360
That's going to be my thing.
I'm going to do What's up,
445
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,080
fellas?
How we doing, Dwight?
446
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,320
Where is your feeling, Dwight?
I mean, you know.
447
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,440
You've been quiet, Dwight.
You have.
448
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480
Been and I hit you up yesterday
and I said Dwight, you know
449
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,360
we're going to go live.
We're going to let everybody on
450
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,240
tomorrow night, whoever again,
all y'all in the chat.
451
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,320
I saw Justin was in here and he
jumped out.
452
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,760
This is your time to speak and
Dwight didn't even tell you.
453
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,520
He knows he's going to be a
little long winded.
454
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,120
But even the white.
Last time, though, we can keep
455
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:23,120
it moving.
But the white.
456
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,400
You didn't say much when I
texted you.
457
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,560
You said all right, I'll.
I'll get in tomorrow night.
458
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Yeah.
The floor is yours.
459
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,560
You're feeling on this high.
First of all, when it's all said
460
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,840
and done, 10/15 years from now,
they're going to do a 30 for 30
461
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,440
on that, that boundary pointed
group chat.
462
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,000
We got that.
That's just that's off the hook
463
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,560
That that that gives me life
some days when I'm having a long
464
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,000
day.
So I also want to start off by
465
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040
saying I tweeted this early, but
I want to go on your part
466
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,600
because I know we got a lot of
viewers tonight.
467
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,880
Always got a lot of viewers.
Top podcast in the game.
468
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,360
I want to shout out coach Monty,
man, he inherited a mess that he
469
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,840
didn't create, but he's been
well focused on cleaning it up.
470
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,040
It's very difficult, man, when
you are working a job where you
471
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,720
don't know the certainty of your
position.
472
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,760
But he kept a lot of guys locked
in.
473
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520
He made some tough decisions.
He won a couple of games that we
474
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,760
probably won and won previously,
so I respect him immensely.
475
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,800
And those kids who bought in,
I've been purposely quiet about
476
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,960
it because I was thought you
guys know we're close and we're
477
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,600
in a chat.
I was getting fed up.
478
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,440
I understand the business side
of things, but I was just like I
479
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080
tweeted last week, you know
what, it might be time to move
480
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,520
on.
Even though I leaked it to y'all
481
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,680
months ago that I told y'all it
was going to be Franklin.
482
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,040
I, I mean, this is like I said
this to y'all before it was even
483
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,200
a buzz.
I said it's Franklin because it
484
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,880
makes sense.
And I just had a little bit of a
485
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,480
few insiders that would hit me.
But I'll say this man, when it
486
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,000
comes to Franklin, I don't know
him personally, but from afar, I
487
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,320
think there's been a few,
there's been a contingency of
488
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,640
tech fans that have been a
little delusional about what he
489
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,560
brings to the table.
And I know Shelton is always the
490
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,080
guy that hits us with the stats
and analytics, and I'm going to
491
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
let him cook with that.
But you talk about it, you talk
492
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,280
about a guy that was.
You know.
493
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,160
Top ten, top 12, top 15 program.
You know, you talking about
494
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,040
10/11/12 win seasons, you're
talking about tougher conference
495
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,720
when he's been a thorn in our
side recruiting wise.
496
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,160
He took Ricky Slade, junior from
Woodbridge High School, who was
497
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480
a five star running back up here
in Nova.
498
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,760
He also took Devon Ford, A4 star
running back that was here in
499
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Nova.
He took a lot of other guys that
500
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,440
were Virginia Tech leans or have
Virginia Tech in their top
501
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,400
three.
I think when it comes down to
502
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,200
it, you have instant credibility
where you have a coach that's
503
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,400
recognized in any high school in
the country, a guy that go into
504
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,720
a school and people are going to
want to take a picture with him
505
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,880
because he's, I don't want to
say a celebrity, but he's well
506
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,320
known.
He's got credibility.
507
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,640
He gives Virginia Tech's brand
that's taking a mighty hit back
508
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,200
to the Fuente and even prior,
especially with Fuente.
509
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600
He's giving Tech's brand instant
credibility when it comes to
510
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,960
recruiting.
On top of it, I don't think
511
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,560
people realize when it comes
down to winning championships,
512
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,160
national championships, how hard
it is, whether it's the old era,
513
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,480
the new era, but he's been
knocking on that door.
514
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840
People going to say, well, he
hasn't won and done it at
515
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,080
Virginia Tech.
Well, here's the thing.
516
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Virginia Tech has the culture,
has the atmosphere and has some
517
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160
talent.
To me, that issue has been
518
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,120
accountability, infrastructure
and having an identity on the
519
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,120
field.
Well, you know when you watch a
520
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,200
Penn State team coached by
Franklin, you know what kind of
521
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,080
identity they're going to have.
You also know what kind of team
522
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,000
you're going to get.
Also, what you're getting is the
523
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,240
coach that this is.
I'm a big fan of this.
524
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,080
You're getting a coach that
basically was disrespected and
525
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
basically, for the lack of a
better phrase, he was should
526
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,720
have done.
He got exiled from Penn State
527
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,800
and the rumors were that he lost
the locker room.
528
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
He couldn't win the big one.
That guy.
529
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,880
If you know Penn State players,
I have a linebacker I coached
530
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,480
when he was young.
He's there.
531
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,320
Marty Campbell, he starts for
Penn State.
532
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,560
He's one of the best linebackers
in the Big 10.
533
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
He's an NFL prospect.
You know the coaches love
534
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
coaching with him.
You could probably point out
535
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,760
flaws with every college coach,
but ultimately, I think what my
536
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120
God is going to bring is the guy
that has something to prove.
537
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,040
I think if he had one, maybe a
national championship or had
538
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,080
one, the game that, you know,
the Ohio State game where people
539
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,920
talk about you can't beat them
in Michigan.
540
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Here's the thing.
How many times in college
541
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,320
football, even in the NFL, have
we seen a coach come to a
542
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,920
situation where he's already
kind of plateaued or he's
543
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,160
already reached that pinnacle
And they they do just enough,
544
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,640
right?
Because they sit on their
545
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,040
laurels.
They rest on their laurels.
546
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Well, we saw his reaction on
game day where he said I'm just
547
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
going to go somewhere else and
win the national championship.
548
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,760
So this guy is extremely hungry
because he has a lot to prove
549
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,280
despite his last 10 years of
accomplishments.
550
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,760
People think that, and I'm glad
I told this to tally when he
551
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,880
mean and chopped it up earlier.
People think this is like a
552
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,640
situation where everybody's in
agreement.
553
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,320
There are a lot of pundits and
media guys that think this might
554
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,800
be a dud because people don't
understand Virginia Tech
555
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
football.
So like, for example, I've
556
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,280
constantly said this in our
group chat.
557
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,200
I've said this on your platform.
I tweeted this.
558
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Virginia Tech is still a great
job.
559
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Bruce Aaron said they
interviewed 20 coaches, and
560
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,720
that's not counting the guys
that they talked to that they
561
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,920
didn't bring in for an
interview.
562
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,520
So the brand is just taking a
huge boost.
563
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,640
I mean, it's great because
despite all that, you guys know
564
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760
I hate losing.
We are three and 17.
565
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,760
We're not going to a bowl game.
We're irrelevant.
566
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,560
We've been medioc mediocracy for
the last five or six years.
567
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
To me, I think he gets this
thing turned around.
568
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,160
But I'm going to be patient.
That's why I've been quiet.
569
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,080
I'm going to be cautiously
optimistic because I want to
570
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,680
make sure that the residue from
the last regime is I'm not
571
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,480
talking about the culture.
I'm talking about the culture.
572
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,800
I want to make sure the
infrastructure is ready, that we
573
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,320
can move into this house and
start cooking up a good meal
574
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,320
that includes the ingredients of
winning and accountability.
575
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,720
I will say this, Franklin will
hold those players accountable.
576
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,720
We have a meeting.
The football alumni.
577
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,000
He's not.
I told this to tell him, make
578
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,200
sure that's what you and your
listeners.
579
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,560
We have a Zoom meeting tomorrow
afternoon with James Franklin.
580
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480
I'm talking about me and also
your favorite all time Hokies, a
581
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,280
zoom meeting with Franklin.
I mean, respectfully, he doesn't
582
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,800
have to meet with us.
So they already this to me, this
583
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,400
has been probably in the works
and he he's been evaluating the
584
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,360
roster because no coach in their
right mind is going to take over
585
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
a program without evaluating the
roster.
586
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,200
He's been looking at the roster.
He's been watching games, but I
587
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,360
am not excited.
I'm I'm I'm happy.
588
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360
I'm happy because this makes
sense.
589
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440
I think it's a good match.
I feel like tech can really take
590
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,480
that necessary step.
And how about our fans, man?
591
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,880
How about us?
I mean, you talking about a fan
592
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,640
base that's been so patient
despite the hell and back that
593
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,640
we've experienced the the lies,
the mischievous decisions that
594
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,440
make no sense with personnel
groupings, the fact that this
595
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,800
program, the fan base deserves
better.
596
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,720
And I think Franklin gets that.
And I'm sure him and pride did
597
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,760
some texting, some talking.
They have history.
598
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
I I mean, this is a good
situation.
599
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,040
I mean, the recruiting, I can't,
I can't share with y'all enough
600
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,360
how much he's going to do when
it comes to recruiting.
601
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,760
So I'm extremely happy and I
like the fact that despite what
602
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,000
he's done, I'm repeating myself.
But just to put a bow on that
603
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,840
point, he has done a marvelous
job at Penn State, but none of
604
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,520
that counts no more because he
has to do a marvelous job at
605
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Tech.
And he wanted Vandy before Vandy
606
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,240
became what they are now.
He wanted Vandy.
607
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,400
He won 24 games and Vandy, he
did a great job there.
608
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,240
He went to Penn State at the
Zandusty and all of them were
609
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,480
doing some of the most egregious
acts to children in the history
610
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,440
of America.
He won there.
611
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,800
Nobody wanted to listen.
Let me remind y'all family,
612
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,960
nobody wanted that job.
Nobody wanted that Penn State
613
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,760
job.
When he took it, he walked in
614
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,400
there and was like, yo, I got
it.
615
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,120
And they became a great program.
His lowest rating recruiting
616
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,480
class is 24.
That's been one of our best
617
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,760
recruiting class in the last 17
years, right?
618
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,640
So again, I can cook all night
on this one man.
619
00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,080
But I like the fact that we got
a guy that is now a hokey but
620
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,920
doesn't have hokey ties.
He can come in and create new
621
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,160
memories, new expectations.
We can get rid of all the, you
622
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,120
know, back in my day, even
though I love what we did, I
623
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,920
want new expectations, new
memories, and I want new energy.
624
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,400
I want accountability and I want
wins, man.
625
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,639
I think we're going to get all
of that.
626
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:22,560
And I'm going to tell you right
now, I'm going to say this, man,
627
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,120
I'm going to let the next guest
come on.
628
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,880
Hey, look, bro, if he gets us to
that mountaintop, I'm going to
629
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,239
lose my mind.
I'm telling you, I'm taking off
630
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,920
work.
I'm not even talking about the
631
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,920
players.
I'm talking about because I, I
632
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,639
always hear the people, you
know, the Wahoos and the
633
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,800
Hurricanes and the trolling.
I get it.
634
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,400
We haven't gotten it yet.
I know we've had moments, but
635
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,320
nobody knows heartache like
Tech.
636
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,000
But I've seen the Red Sox win
it, I've seen the Cubs win it.
637
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,400
I saw the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It can happen, but a lot of
638
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,840
times you need that one guy.
But I just want us to be in the
639
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,520
moment.
I hope these guys, they're still
640
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,120
playing, understand that the
players, you're being evaluated
641
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,720
right now, you've been
evaluated.
642
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,320
So you still have two games left
in your career this season to
643
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,120
play.
So anyway, you guys keep coding
644
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120
it down, man.
I appreciate y'all man.
645
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,880
Appreciate it, Dwight.
We'll see you soon, man.
646
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,920
We appreciate that.
Thanks, Dwight.
647
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,960
Yes Sir, take care all.
Right.
648
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,800
We got somebody coming on, but
real quick, Shelton, drop the
649
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,760
what?
Everybody's been on the oh, he
650
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,040
can't win the top five games.
You got the stats, We got the
651
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,160
top.
We got drop those.
652
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,360
Can't don't leave.
Just give Sheldon the second to
653
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,880
preach for his stuff here.
Yeah.
654
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,400
So I mean, if you look at his
overall record against top five
655
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,680
teams, we'll say top ten, he was
4 and 21 overall, 161
656
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,000
percentage.
So obviously not great, but and
657
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,760
the caveat there is that he's
played a very high percentage of
658
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960
his ranked games against top
five teams.
659
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,040
And really it's more of a
Michigan, Ohio State problem
660
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,320
than it is like a a general
problem.
661
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,760
His record against teams ranked
11th through 25 is 13 and 11,
662
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,520
which is actually pretty good,
7th best among active head
663
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,760
coaches at the time he got
fired.
664
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,400
So really, if you take out the
top ten, he's been a pretty good
665
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,680
coach against ranked teams.
And again, I know you can't, you
666
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,240
know, just take out the losses.
But the same time I think what I
667
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,600
would say is that people are
probably over playing the top
668
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,840
ten thing a little bit like he's
four and three in major ball
669
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,560
games, two and one in the
playoffs.
670
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Like he could he can win.
He can still win games, man.
671
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,200
Like it's it's not like he's,
you know, completely
672
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,720
overmatched.
Just, you know, when he's
673
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,920
playing a good opponent.
Well, I'm sitting there and it's
674
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,960
and it was a decade where he
played both of those teams,
675
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,760
right?
Yeah.
676
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,440
I think, I think like of of
those 25, it's 18 or 19 is of
677
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,360
those two teams.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure like
678
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,000
Michigan and Ohio State alone
account for like 76% of his
679
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
ranked losses, something like
that.
680
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,440
So again, if you want to
criticize him for not being able
681
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,480
to beat those teams, that's
fair.
682
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,640
That's fine.
But one thing I will say to you
683
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,920
also is that Virgin and SEC does
not play those teams.
684
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,960
We will never play teams of that
caliber on a consistent basis
685
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,720
like you did at Penn State.
So we can talk about that too.
686
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,240
But yeah, how?
Many.
687
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,160
How many top five opponents are
we to face?
688
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,960
In a year?
Probably 0.
689
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,920
In most years, maybe 1. 1.
On our regular schedule, I mean.
690
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,880
It is what it is we got.
A couple in here we're going
691
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,000
we're going to start with Kent
Justin we got you in the in the
692
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,040
green room here tally what you
got hello I.
693
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,560
Was just saying I don't
understand how the and again, I
694
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,720
get it, they're having a
Goodyear.
695
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,960
The UVA fans keep hopping on
here throwing their two cents
696
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,280
in.
It don't matter who we put out.
697
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,280
I could be the coach and we
still beat them.
698
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,880
Like it don't matter who the
head coach is, they still lose.
699
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,880
They can have the better team,
they just don't know how to win.
700
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,160
So they try to throw this little
record out and oh, he doesn't
701
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,280
beat his rivals.
We going to beat y'all.
702
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,800
That's all y'all need to worry
about.
703
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Put that on the record.
Put the replace.
704
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,440
All right, let's get Ken in
here.
705
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,320
Kent, what's up?
How you doing tonight?
706
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Hey Brian, are you talking
southpaw from the day here like
707
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,560
I'm living in?
I'm from South Boston.
708
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
We both are.
Curtis is from South Boston.
709
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,840
Yeah, we we Halifax natives
through and.
710
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,720
Through I'm taking from
Scottsburg.
711
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Scottsburg, VA. 01 of our best
buddies on here.
712
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,360
Where is he?
Hold on.
713
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,080
I'll get his Robbie Compton
right there.
714
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,040
Scottsburg won the race.
Scottsburg love to helmet man to
715
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,240
Kent.
What'd you think of the Franklin
716
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:32,400
hire man?
Thank you.
717
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,240
It was great.
I'm the host of my I just got
718
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,880
done my podcast yesterday, the
Virginia Tech show.
719
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,000
If y'all familiar with it, we
talked about it about James
720
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,800
Franklin and I think James
Franklin's going to bring back a
721
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,120
five star recruit quarterback in
the future.
722
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:52,720
The last time we have 5 star
recruit quarterback was Tyrod
723
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,480
Taylor.
Before that was Marcus Vick and
724
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,040
I didn't know he's going to
bring all the recruiting back to
725
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,240
Virginia Tech.
That's what he's going to do.
726
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,560
Yeah, I'm, I'm excited for it.
I like, like you said, the
727
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,440
recruiting is, is something that
we're already starting to see a
728
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,680
little bit of the benefits from.
We starting to see some guys
729
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,200
that were already in that Penn
State class take, you know, sign
730
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,080
up for official visits at
Virginia Tech.
731
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,400
You got a couple crystal balls
going our way already.
732
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,960
So that's going to go, I think
pretty crazy as we kind of, you
733
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,920
know, go over the next month
towards signing day.
734
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,360
What are you most excited about?
You know, I know I've asked this
735
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,880
a couple other folks.
What are you excited about a
736
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,640
certain, you know, potential
assistant hire that he might be
737
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,400
bringing along with him?
Does anybody kind of you know
738
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,920
you got on your list right now?
I I haven't gone that far yet,
739
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,080
my friends.
I didn't think about anybody,
740
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,760
all right.
It's all.
741
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Good.
So overall excited for the
742
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,520
Halifax boys here.
This is this is how you going to
743
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,680
know We we we we're from where
you from Kent?
744
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,520
What Rd. you live off of?
James T Haggle Highway.
745
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,600
You live OK.
Good.
746
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,400
OK.
There we go every time.
747
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,040
I'll be.
I'll be travelling right down
748
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,680
360 on Friday night, heading to
Halifax to see some family for
749
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,040
the weekend.
But Kent, we appreciate your
750
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,760
time.
We got Justin in the green room.
751
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,280
Keep your show going, man.
Keep it hustling, OK?
752
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,480
OK.
Thank you for joining, Kent.
753
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,440
All right, Justin, we had your
own earlier.
754
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,720
We you had some had some
shenanigans in the background.
755
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,800
Hold on, Justin, first of all,
we're going to tell you
756
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,720
something.
It it's not going to bother
757
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:31,160
anybody on this program that
your kids are running screaming
758
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,120
in the background.
You are on mute by the way, FYI,
759
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,280
get that straightened out before
you start talking.
760
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,840
There we go.
There you go.
761
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,640
It will not bother us currently
on this.
762
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,600
Shelton is not a father.
The rest of us, we got 6
763
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,760
combined.
It ain't going to bother us.
764
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,960
My teenagers, so they they can
get.
765
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,880
I got a teenager too.
He was in the other room
766
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,840
watching the CFP rankings.
But what do you think, man?
767
00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Honestly, I was, I thought this
was pretty much where we were
768
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:05,800
going weeks ago.
I have a contact who's who's got
769
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,800
a friend with somebody there in
Blacksburg who who kind of had
770
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,400
had alluded that that back
before November started that
771
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,280
that Franklin's probably going
to be the the coach.
772
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,120
But then I got a little bit
nervous when I started seeing
773
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,920
all the stuff on Twitter.
I wasn't sure if the deal was
774
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,640
going to fall through, if Sexton
was going to screw it up.
775
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,320
Wasn't really sure.
Now I'm starting to believe that
776
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,080
maybe they were.
That was just a bunch of smoke
777
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,400
to keep people off, off, off
kilter.
778
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,520
Because when he showed up down
there in Norfolk on the
779
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,720
sideline, the ODU, I was like,
OK, it's a done deal now.
780
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,320
He's down there either
recruiting a coach, recruiting a
781
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,080
quarterback or both.
There we go.
782
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,600
As far as like assistance, man,
I really want to know what his
783
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,720
staff's going to look like.
I'm curious if he's going to
784
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,520
keep anybody from the existing
staff.
785
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,960
I figure Fontelle, he tried to
take him from us a couple years
786
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,920
ago.
So yeah, I figure he's probably
787
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,920
going to try to keep Fontelle
there, yeah.
788
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,360
I mean a lot.
Of people I'd like to see him
789
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,120
keep.
Ferg, to be honest with you, I.
790
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,720
Think that might be 1.
He just keeps regardless because
791
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,720
it is extremely tough to flip
over a program because if they
792
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,560
if he comes and brings his own
guy, that's going to be 3
793
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,640
consecutive years of different
strength and condition coaches.
794
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,600
Yeah, I think year 1, I don't
think there's no change.
795
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,920
I I really don't know that
piece.
796
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,120
And you're talking about
Fontell.
797
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:33,320
Yes, without a doubt.
But I think they're tally said
798
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,000
it a few weeks ago.
Elijah Brooks.
799
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,360
Don't sleep on it.
I mean, ties up in I mean
800
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,120
demathetized DMV ties.
It would not shock me if he kept
801
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,880
him.
But if if if he comes in, you
802
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,720
know, I'm gonna just say this.
I love Xavier DVI, love JC
803
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:52,960
Price.
I love Pierce and Prelo.
804
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560
I watched all three of those
guys play in my life.
805
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,400
If he comes in and it is nobody
left, I'm not going to be upset.
806
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:06,080
No, I mean.
It's a show and I like I like I
807
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,080
like the way Dwight put it
earlier is is he doesn't have
808
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,240
any ties to tech.
But I watched this how he spoke
809
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:18,800
to the board of visitors today.
He's done his homework, so he
810
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,560
knows the school.
He.
811
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,400
Obviously knows the footprint
and we've seen what he's done at
812
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,760
two programs where he's built
them up from the from the rock
813
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
bottom and I feel like that's
exactly what he's going to do in
814
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Blacksburg.
But I'm looking forward to it.
815
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,520
I, I think it's, it's, it's
crazy because I mean, he's, he,
816
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,400
I think he's, he's doing the
right things and he seem, he
817
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,520
seems really hungry to prove
himself again, which is crazy
818
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,320
for someone that has had the run
he's had at, at Vanderbilt and
819
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,240
then Penn State for, you know,
over a decade at this point.
820
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,040
That still feels like they got
something to prove.
821
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,360
I, I mean, I know when he got to
Penn State, he said the goal is
822
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,160
to win a national championship.
And now he says he's going to
823
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,960
win it somewhere else and that
that place that he's working on
824
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,960
it now is Blacksburg.
When when we talk about like the
825
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,760
guys that he might keep.
I know we, you know, we talked
826
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,600
about Brooks, we talked about
Ferg Fontell, you know, on on
827
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,280
the defensive side, JC Price is
probably the only one I've got
828
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,640
circled.
It's like that's that's somebody
829
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,800
that you consider.
I feel like everybody else is
830
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,880
probably going to be somebody
brand new coming in there just
831
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:28,280
because I don't think we saw
enough out of the other units,
832
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,280
you know, over the course of a
prize regime where you can
833
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,320
really make a case there.
Speaking outside of that,
834
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,800
Justin, I know I've asked this
about you.
835
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,560
Have some other folks you got
anybody circled kind of outside
836
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,040
of Virginia Tech that you'd like
to see come on board with
837
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,760
Franklin?
I don't really know his coaching
838
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,440
tree well enough to really
speak.
839
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,320
To that other than.
I.
840
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,960
Do like Ricky Ronnie man.
I don't know if they can get him
841
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,360
out of the ODU.
But he's got that system working
842
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,040
down there.
And I feel like they they have
843
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,280
a, a decent offense.
I mean, look at what they did to
844
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,000
us this year.
Yeah.
845
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,360
And you know.
I think he's.
846
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,680
That would be about the only one
I'm really want to know.
847
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,000
I really do want to know who
he's looking at for defensive
848
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,920
coordinator.
This can be interesting.
849
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,280
I'm gonna make a 2 point Ricky
Ronnie go look back at 18 and
850
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,760
19.
Other than the Joe Moorhead
851
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,040
years, Ricky Ronnie was his best
OC at Penn State.
852
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,560
His best OC in in 1919 was the
big, big year 19.
853
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,360
They went 11 and two.
I think the only loss was to
854
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,240
Ohio State and somebody else.
But the other thing about that,
855
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,920
and I was mentioning to the boys
here before we jumped on Ricky,
856
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,520
Ronnie makes $860,000.
I don't think ODU has the budget
857
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:43,760
to get him above like 1.3.
And I think we're going to
858
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,000
probably be in the neighborhood
of close to 2 and Ricky's going
859
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,800
to have a decision to make.
He's having a great year.
860
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,360
His stock is up.
It's ODU though.
861
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,120
If he falls flat next year, he
has no shot at getting AP4
862
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,200
coaching gig.
He doesn't and Joseph's leaving
863
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,080
that he's gone.
He's gone.
864
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Yeah, you're 1000% right.
Whether he comes to Blacksburg
865
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,480
or somewhere else, that kids
gone.
866
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:13,360
But what Ricky could do, If
Ricky comes here and we go nine
867
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,440
and three next year, he's going
to get AP4 job because
868
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,240
everybody's going to be like,
look what he did at ODU for a
869
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:21,160
couple years.
Look what he just did here.
870
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,120
He's going to get a job.
Justin, we got Cokie, Chris
871
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,120
waiting in the waiting room.
Anything else you want to hit us
872
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,400
with before you drop off here
tonight, man?
873
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,320
No, just I'm really looking
forward to it.
874
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,480
I think it's going to be a fun
spring and go Hokies.
875
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Appreciate it.
Thank you, Jeff, for listening,
876
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:38,680
man.
Take care.
877
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,720
And he was first and he was
first.
878
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,440
Everybody's first.
Take care, man.
879
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,840
Chris, what's going on tonight?
How you feel?
880
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,600
What's up guys?
Can you hear me?
881
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,160
I got you.
What's happening?
882
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,440
First time, long time watcher,
first time I guess caller.
883
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Is that how you say?
That's what it is.
884
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,320
Oh, is this B Chris?
Is this?
885
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,840
This is me buddy, how you doing?
Good man, how you doing?
886
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,560
This is D crip I.
Got a story?
887
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,560
I got some stories I could tell
you about James Franklin and
888
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,880
Penn State, so I'm going to
give.
889
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,280
You some hey, before you before
you get started, Chris.
890
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,360
The reason I said D Chris,
because I met Chris on on on X
891
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,240
so maybe a couple of weeks ago.
And you know how people just
892
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,840
throw stuff out, right?
And you know how I am like I
893
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,440
like trolling.
So I'm like, you don't know this
894
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,760
man.
You don't know him personally.
895
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,000
He's like, yeah, I do.
I don't want to throw all your
896
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,560
business out, but I was like,
OK, well, if you are that close
897
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,760
to him, send me a picture.
He posts a picture of everything
898
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,920
he's saying.
I'm like, oh, OK, well, let me
899
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,840
be quiet and listen to this guy.
So, yeah, go ahead, Chris.
900
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,560
So fall 20, I'll get a little
bit history.
901
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,240
Now, fall 2015, I moved to State
College from Virginia.
902
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,040
I'm a pastor actually, believe
it or not.
903
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,040
So, so there's a truthful,
honest story about you you're
904
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,960
about to hear.
OK, so I'm a huge college level
905
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,440
fan.
I'm a hokey alum.
906
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,880
My son just graduated from
Virginia Tech as well.
907
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,240
So I'm a big fan.
I go to, I would go to games 3-4
908
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:05,560
times a year, Pennsylvania,
Minnesota, where I lived at any
909
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,960
time.
So I'm living in a little bit of
910
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,120
their fall 2015 and 16.
I went to several games,
911
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,440
including their big ups that
went over House State.
912
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,440
I was in the stadium for the
whiteout and all that kind of
913
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,600
good stuff.
And so the next year they're
914
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,800
looking for security for at
Beaver Stadium.
915
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,280
So I apply and I get accepted
and I just want to be around
916
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,960
college football and I can't get
to Blacksburg living in State
917
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,240
College very often.
So I, I, I report the first day
918
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,240
for duty, get trained, all that
kind of good stuff.
919
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:38,080
And they put me in the, in the,
what's called the South end zone
920
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,560
in the locker room area.
And because of my age and
921
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,920
because of what I do for a
living, they said we want you to
922
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,800
be locker room door guy at for
Penn State.
923
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,520
So this is a guy who who checks
credentials to make sure that
924
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,920
only credential people is
allowed to go in their very, I
925
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,400
would say secretive locker room.
Like I couldn't even go in.
926
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,320
I could see in, but I couldn't
even go in anyway.
927
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,200
So Long story short, they want
somebody who's trusted, somebody
928
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,120
they can get to know.
So I'm there and I was, I worked
929
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,640
the first four games.
So this is going to be a funny
930
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,800
story, OK.
I worked first four games and
931
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,720
got to know all the guys.
And the only, the only coach
932
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:18,960
slash player in 2017 that got to
remember who I was after four
933
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,760
games was actually a guy by the
name of Deege.
934
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,840
Do you all know who Deege is?
Yeah, that's the white.
935
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,560
Vault was the nicest guy by far
I met and so he used to be our
936
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,120
strength and conditioning coach
in Blacksburg obviously until
937
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,840
last year I think right Ferguson
took over.
938
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,320
Anyway.
So anyway, Long story short, I
939
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,600
would have to stay though after
the games until everyone cleared
940
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,120
our locker room and James Franco
was always the last one to
941
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,120
leave.
So he would come out and Monica
942
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,760
would come out with a Monica is
was a short GAO who was a
943
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,400
security officer.
You always saw her whenever you
944
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,760
saw him on the field.
So I got to know her a little
945
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,640
bit too.
And but anyway, after the 4th
946
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,080
game though, I asked to take
their next game off, which
947
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,560
against Indiana because Virginia
Tech the same day had a huge
948
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,440
game.
So quiz question, who was
949
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,800
Virginia Tech playing?
I think it was the end of
950
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,600
September 2017.
Any any guesses?
951
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:21,320
In 2017, I mean 17, if you said
it was October 2017, that would
952
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,440
have been.
September 30th.
953
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,360
It was like the last day of
September.
954
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,800
I I drove the blacks because I
could not meet, don't miss the
955
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,840
number one Clemson in
Blacksburg.
956
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,480
So I couldn't.
Miss No, No, That was October.
957
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,840
That was October of 20.
October.
958
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,480
OK.
October.
959
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,120
Of October 20, it was the last
time we had game day on.
960
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,920
Campus.
So OK, the story gets really
961
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,800
good now.
So I go to I go to the Clemson
962
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,680
game.
I miss my assignment to work the
963
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,240
lock room door there at Penn
State.
964
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,440
And so the next game back, I go
to the next game and I'm merely
965
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,400
assigned again in South end
zone.
966
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,440
But now I'm not on the locker
room door.
967
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,200
And I'm like, why is this, I
wonder?
968
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,520
So I lost my assignment.
I'm in the general area.
969
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,560
And if you know anything about
Beaver Stadium, they have to
970
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,200
have security a lot around the
locker room because because you
971
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,040
can, if you've been to Beaver,
you can walk around very close
972
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,160
to where the locker room is.
You actually can stand and watch
973
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,760
the team walk in and out.
I mean, you're right there when
974
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,760
the team comes into that area.
So I was like, why I I was
975
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,120
wondering, why did I get
reassigned?
976
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,280
Well, my supervisor comes up to
me.
977
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,080
This risk story gets funny.
He says, listen, you got
978
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,200
reassigned because you went to
Virginia.
979
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,520
Tech.
And I'm like, what?
980
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,880
And, and he said, he said Andy
Frank, now Andy Frank is a name
981
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,600
you're going to get to know.
Andy Frank was a is the director
982
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,280
of football operations at Penn
State currently, I guess.
983
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,960
Well, he might be the director
of football operations, the new
984
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,720
role at Virginia Tech, I guess
GM or whatever at Virginia Tech
985
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,200
with James.
So when he found out I went to
986
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,000
Virginia Tech and I went to the
game instead, he said this is
987
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,360
what this is how the story ends.
He said, I don't want anyone
988
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,360
from Virginia Tech anywhere near
the locker room door.
989
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,000
So that's what he's like.
So for me, I was like, oh, so I
990
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,200
I stayed the rest of the season.
My last game I worked was a
991
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,440
whiteout.
It was kind of fun.
992
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,840
I'll end the story with this way
and say I got, I said, listen,
993
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,000
can I just work on the field one
game?
994
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,720
And so I worked the whiteout
against Michigan and that was
995
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:21,760
the game where Saquon ran like 3
touchdowns, ran right at me and
996
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,760
all this kind of stuff.
But, but I, I tell people all
997
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,240
the time, I'll finish with this.
I'll tell people all the time.
998
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,480
I say, listen, I've been on the
field for a whiteout.
999
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,840
I've been in the stands for a
whiteout.
1000
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,800
I worked at Beaver.
I've been to 4050 games at Wayne
1001
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,800
Stadium, Lane Stadium with
40,000 less people is louder.
1002
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,280
And they always say they, they
always say, no, that's
1003
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,560
impossible.
No, that's impossible.
1004
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,120
I tell them it, it's not about
fan support, it's not about
1005
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,440
passion.
It's simple architecture.
1006
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:51,280
It's the way the stadiums are
built.
1007
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,360
Lane Stadium is louder for
Anderson and then the run out
1008
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,480
for Penn State, what they do and
it's a great environment,
1009
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,760
obviously if you ever get a
chance to go.
1010
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,320
But I wanted to share that story
with you.
1011
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,960
I offered that to Tally and I
said I wanted to share that
1012
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,840
story with you because for me,
for me, you're you're probably
1013
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,000
going to ask what I think.
I was not excited about the hire
1014
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,440
because I got to know him a
little bit.
1015
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,600
He is a very passionate guy.
He is very much about James
1016
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,480
Franklin, but he I think he's
going to do a great job, Don't
1017
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,800
get me wrong, But I, it's
warming up on me.
1018
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,000
I've been, I watched Josh Pate
last night and I got really
1019
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,040
excited after watching Pate
because Pate was so excited
1020
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,280
about this hire for us.
So anyway, so that's my story.
1021
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,320
I'll get off, let other people
talk.
1022
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:38,240
Let me ask you one question
before I let you go here, Chris.
1023
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,240
Since you were around State
College a lot, did you ever come
1024
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,840
across Keith Goon Conlon while
you were up there?
1025
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,800
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
1026
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,120
I mean, I didn't, I didn't meet
him, but I knew of him.
1027
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,360
Yeah.
So he would have.
1028
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,080
I think he would be on like a
local television show every week
1029
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,360
after the game on Sunday nights.
I used to watch that all the
1030
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,120
time.
So but watching, you know, some
1031
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,640
of the Penn State folks the last
24 hours or so has been
1032
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,560
interesting.
I think many of them are
1033
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,360
actually scared and they won't
say so, but they're really
1034
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,360
worried about what what we might
do in terms of taking some of
1035
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,320
their current players and such.
And their coaches too, I think.
1036
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,520
I think they've got like a tight
ends coach who they really want
1037
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,080
to keep bad.
I think he's from North Carolina
1038
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,040
or something like that.
Great recruiter here in in
1039
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,080
Virginia.
So they really want him bad.
1040
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,840
And another thing too, you
mentioned Joe Morehead.
1041
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,000
My son played on the same
baseball team with Joe
1042
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,320
Morehead's son.
So I got to know and meet Joe
1043
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,280
Morehead too.
Great guy, great offensive mind.
1044
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,800
He'd be a great hire for an
offensive coordinator, no doubt.
1045
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,840
So anyway, yeah.
Him and Ronnie did.
1046
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,480
A small world just give you a
couple stories.
1047
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,160
Oh yeah.
Well, it's crazy how small of a
1048
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,440
world and like all the circles
that you kind of come across and
1049
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,680
things like that.
So yeah.
1050
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,840
But so.
But Chris, you're not the first
1051
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,760
person I've ever heard that say
that Lane's louder than Beaver.
1052
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,960
Oh, yeah.
A girl went to college with her
1053
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,160
parents were Penn State alums,
and she'd been to both stadiums.
1054
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,760
And I can remember her saying
she's like, Lane is so much
1055
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,200
louder.
Like, she's like, I can't hear
1056
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,240
myself think inside there.
She's like a Beaver.
1057
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,360
You can have a conversation.
Like, you can't do that at Lane.
1058
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,320
I'm like, thank you.
Yeah, all those people that say
1059
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,920
that.
I could tell you some other
1060
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,400
stories about Penn State and
things like that, but I won't I
1061
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920
won't take of your off, but but
for me, I want to share a story
1062
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,600
and Ioffer that the tally,
because for me it showed a few
1063
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,720
things.
Number one, they are extremely
1064
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,880
loyal, devoted, both Frank and
Franklin.
1065
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,800
They really are.
And I think they're going to do
1066
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:37,800
a great job.
They're going to be very
1067
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,720
passionate and they're going to
be very devoted to blacks for
1068
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,960
even though they're not, you
know, Virginia Tech guys, so to
1069
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,080
speak.
But they are now and I think
1070
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,680
they're going to do a great job.
So I'm warming up to it.
1071
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,160
I really am.
But anyway, just just some
1072
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,880
stories behind the scenes a
little bit.
1073
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,400
That's all we.
Appreciate it man.
1074
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:58,760
No problem guys.
Take care, man.
1075
00:55:59,000 --> 00:55:59,640
You too.
Bye bye.
1076
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:07,000
Look who we got next, Robbie
Compton.
1077
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,320
What's going on?
Brother, how's it going?
1078
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,920
Oh man, it's it's.
A fun night, man.
1079
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,640
It's it's going to be a couple
of days I think on our side
1080
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,520
getting getting excited about
some things.
1081
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,200
I think it's going to be a good
thing.
1082
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,880
I'm interested to see where it
goes from here, what kind of
1083
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:32,920
coaches he brings in, who they
get in that so-called general
1084
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,680
manager position.
That's going to help him out and
1085
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,640
break things up and we'll see
how it goes.
1086
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,680
I'm excited about what the
future may hold.
1087
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:44,120
Robbie, you have been in the
Robbie you'd have been in the
1088
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,320
room with a lot of coaches.
Have you ever been in the room
1089
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,760
with Franklin?
Any kind of coaching?
1090
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,880
Coaching.
I heard he.
1091
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,680
Workshops years ago at an AFCA
conference when he was at
1092
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:02,040
Vanderbilt.
Actually, I think he he's very,
1093
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,480
he's very passionate about what
he does.
1094
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:09,360
He's very passionate about the
game and and teaching, teaching
1095
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,200
young men the game in that way.
And I'm sure that's only grown
1096
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,520
over the years since then.
I, I'm trying to even think of
1097
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,240
what year that was when I saw
him.
1098
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,360
I was probably still coaching in
Halifax.
1099
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,680
So it was probably back before
2012.
1100
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,200
So it was in the.
I like his first year.
1101
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,760
I've been his first year at
Vanderbilt.
1102
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,160
Then it might have been but he,
he.
1103
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:39,840
He's.
A.
1104
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,080
He's a brilliant 9 in the game
and and a heck of a recruiter so
1105
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,120
it's definitely going to be a
good thing.
1106
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,520
So let let me ask this Robbie,
because you, I mean, like I got
1107
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,360
all these names the people are
mentioning names left and right.
1108
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,720
Any assistant coaches like as
you again, you've watched Penn
1109
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,280
State, you, you your your your
head football coach definitely
1110
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,120
familiar with Penn State.
Absolutely.
1111
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:12,840
Is there anybody like one person
out there you say if he brings
1112
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,200
that assistant to Blacksburg,
watch out.
1113
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,040
I like, I really think
Poindexter is one of the top
1114
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,920
names that that you're going to
hear here in the next several
1115
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,880
weeks.
He's got that.
1116
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,400
He's got the ties to Virginia.
It was a thing that a lot of
1117
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,840
people threw out and wanted to
try to pull off and get him out
1118
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,320
of there.
They don't, you know, in
1119
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,720
Blacksburg before, even though
he spent some time at that other
1120
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:42,840
place in Virginia.
That that's going to be a name
1121
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,560
you're going to hear, I think,
and I don't think that's a bad
1122
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,480
thing at all because we're going
to have good recruiting ties
1123
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,440
around the area.
I think that was a big part of
1124
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,640
what helped bring some of those
Virginia guys to Penn State as
1125
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,800
it was.
Again, like somebody had said
1126
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,520
earlier, I think you're going
to, I think of the coaches that
1127
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,600
are still there now, I think.
Coach minds will be one that
1128
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,880
you'll continue to hear possibly
sticking around.
1129
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,400
He was a guy that, you know,
he's probably got a pretty
1130
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,280
decent relationship with
Poindexter anyway.
1131
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,440
And it it was a name that that
you had heard in circles of
1132
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,320
trying to get him to come to
Penn State anyhow.
1133
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,040
So I mean, I think their
relationship is there and those
1134
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,400
things.
So I mean, I think those are
1135
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,360
two.
Names that you're going to hear
1136
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,800
a lot about.
He's probably got multiple
1137
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,640
options of people willing to to
make moves and get ready for the
1138
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,120
offensive coordinator position,
things like that.
1139
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,720
So.
It's just going to be a wait and
1140
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,680
see game.
I'm sure he's probably already
1141
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,240
talked to more than a few people
about getting things together.
1142
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,240
So see how it falls in.
Can I ask your opinion?
1143
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,920
And, and you heard me, Mitch, I
don't know if you were listening
1144
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:01,320
when I talked about Ricky,
Ronnie.
1145
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,480
What?
If you're Ricky, Ronnie, do you
1146
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,600
try to stick it one more year at
ODU?
1147
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:11,040
But if James offers you the OC,
double your pay, you bring
1148
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,600
Colton Joseph, you run your show
up at Tech, what?
1149
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,040
What do you do?
Because everybody's like, well,
1150
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,480
that's a demotion.
But I keep making the point, if
1151
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,000
he still has a step back here at
ODU, is he ever going to be
1152
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,680
considered for the next level
job?
1153
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,920
Yeah, that I don't look at it as
AD motion.
1154
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:38,160
You're going from, you're going
from ODU to a top end position
1155
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:44,000
in the Power 14 and you, I mean
it's more of a lateral move in
1156
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,960
my mind to some ways and I know.
People will have some things to
1157
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,880
say about that.
Well, ODU with tech this year
1158
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,160
that that whatever.
I mean, the bottom line is, the
1159
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,960
way the system is set up, this
is not a.
1160
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:04,920
They're not on equal ground.
I mean, program wise they're
1161
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,240
not.
But we're going, we're going
1162
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,600
Straw Hat Turkey.
The five of us sitting here are
1163
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,480
circling this and writing it
down.
1164
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,080
So you better not hope
Poindexter doesn't show up in
1165
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,480
Blacksburg.
Yeah, I mean, all right.
1166
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,400
I mean, Fontelle Bynes was a big
UVA guy too, but you know that
1167
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,000
didn't.
That didn't stop him from taking
1168
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,920
the wide receiver role at
Virginia Tech.
1169
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,520
So.
Listen carefully.
1170
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:40,360
Money talks, business talks.
We're we're in a game of
1171
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,280
business.
You can be from where you want
1172
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,760
to be.
The game talks.
1173
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:50,040
When you got the opportunity to
continue your livelihood, any
1174
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,440
things you do, it's a lot
different.
1175
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,000
I've been a Washington fan since
I could walk and talk if.
1176
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,560
The Dallas Cowboys called me
right now and offered me a job.
1177
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,200
Or just as proud as you can see
it.
1178
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,600
I don't give a damn where he
went to college.
1179
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,800
Hey, hey, Robbie, I know we're
going to let you run here in a
1180
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,000
second, but I was prepared.
I.
1181
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:15,880
Go to bed, I got to teach
tomorrow.
1182
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,160
I know I was prepared for a Wing
T offense.
1183
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,760
Man, you kiss from your end.
Robbie and his team made it to
1184
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,880
the playoffs this year down in
North Carolina. 2A and
1185
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,360
unfortunately for Robbie, a
Yeah, you all have 3A.
1186
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,200
Yeah, unfortunately for Robbie,
he had to play one of the best
1187
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,360
Wing T scores.
Terrible.
1188
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,320
Not a fan of the Wing T?
What?
1189
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:45,600
What?
What did they do to you?
1190
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:47,960
What was?
That.
1191
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:54,240
They, they bellied us to death
and and found a much smaller
1192
01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:00,280
outside backer defensive end kid
that I had and they just doubled
1193
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,400
him, kicked it out and rolled
right under it to the point
1194
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:08,520
where he, some of our backers
decided to well, if I kind of
1195
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,120
roll around the edge, maybe they
won't catch me.
1196
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,960
Yeah, that they creased it even
more so it is what it is.
1197
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,840
Got to take the licks and move
on.
1198
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,600
Do it again next year.
Learn from it and and do
1199
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,760
something different afterwards.
We'll see what day I'll look at
1200
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,320
my roster and see what I have
left and we'll build what we
1201
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:35,360
need to from there.
There you go and you same thing.
1202
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,800
We don't know when yet.
In December, circle the
1203
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,240
calendar, stay the program.
It's going to be fun this year.
1204
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:42,400
I'm.
I'm going to be ready.
1205
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,160
You going to be ready?
You sure?
1206
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,520
Two years ago you were way too
ready.
1207
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:52,240
Yeah.
Whether or not whether I'm here
1208
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,000
in Wilkesboro or whether I'm in
Halifax, whatever it takes, I'm
1209
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,440
going to find a way.
There we go.
1210
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,880
Hi, brother.
The drinks will be flowing the
1211
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,000
so with the curse words.
It'll it'll be a good time.
1212
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,080
Yeah, especially with the with
the with the doctor, when he
1213
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,320
comes in, we're in trouble.
Oh, yeah, we're always in
1214
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,000
trouble with the doctor.
That's right.
1215
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,120
Appreciate it.
Robbie I.
1216
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,480
Appreciate you guys.
See you, Robbie.
1217
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,160
We rolling up in here.
We rolling.
1218
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,720
I see a lot of people putting
stuff in the chat, but they
1219
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,000
don't want to come on, call them
out that what's oh, there we go.
1220
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,440
I think Tim wants to come on,
let Brian throw that in for you.
1221
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,320
Tib get you in here.
Shelton, anything else you've
1222
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,560
discovered while doing all of
this?
1223
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,160
Does he have, did you go into
any like offensive, defensive
1224
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,560
tendencies, things like that or
are you strictly looking at more
1225
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,360
games, one games loss, etcetera,
etcetera?
1226
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,160
Yeah, more so ladder.
I mean, you could dig into the
1227
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,280
film.
It'd probably take forever.
1228
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,280
I just don't have the time.
But I will say, like I was
1229
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,960
saying, you know, I think the
big knock on Franklin was
1230
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,240
quarterback development.
You know, and again, like I
1231
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:06,040
talked about earlier, I think
that Drew Aller just it just
1232
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,960
didn't really work schematically
for them this year.
1233
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,680
I know they had some regressions
on the online that receiver.
1234
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,240
You know, it's like I feel like
after that organ loss team kind
1235
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,960
of just, you know, didn't, I
wouldn't say quit, but they kind
1236
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,840
of just faded a little bit.
They weren't giving as much
1237
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,040
effort as probably they should
have been.
1238
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,640
So I think for Franklin, you
know, the big thing is just, you
1239
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,320
know, who he's going to surround
himself with.
1240
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,440
This isn't wise, especially at
on the opposite side of the
1241
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,000
ball.
And just, you know, how can they
1242
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,040
how can they get the most out of
out of the quarterbacks that
1243
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:33,840
they have?
Because, you know, I think that
1244
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,960
was that was a big reason, in my
opinion, that was a big reason
1245
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,280
that Penn State kind of
struggled to win those big games
1246
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,920
is that they just didn't have
that high level quarterback
1247
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:43,280
play.
They were kind of, you know,
1248
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:44,800
limited there.
I think they had more kind of
1249
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:49,400
like game manager types and so
you know, but hopefully,
1250
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,000
hopefully that can change and
recruit a couple studies regard.
1251
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,760
I mean, we've got some some some
juicy looking recruits on the on
1252
01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:00,080
the trail here with with all
these DE commitments and some
1253
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,760
buzz about guys going to BT.
So I'm excited about that.
1254
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,360
Yeah, guys, we got, we got guys
coming in.
1255
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,240
You know, you're already seeing
like those visits pop up now.
1256
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,760
You know, we got really some big
names in that Penn State class
1257
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,240
that are you looking at Virginia
Tech, you got some official
1258
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,960
visits locked in.
I think, you know, you're going
1259
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,360
to start seeing some of those
dominoes start to fall in our
1260
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,960
direction.
And and you know, to the point
1261
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,480
that that Chris was making, I
think, you know, Penn State is a
1262
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,360
little bit worried about that.
Obviously they've got, you know,
1263
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,520
some work left to do with who
they're going to bring in, who
1264
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,080
they're going to hire.
You know, things may shift as as
1265
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,760
that kind of comes to fruition,
but I know a lot of these
1266
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,880
players, you know, committed to
James Franklin.
1267
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,080
So I think there's going to take
a whole lot of of effort from
1268
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:53,240
the new guy to to kind of keep
that from happening.
1269
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,680
So I think a lot of those guys
are going to head towards tech.
1270
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,480
Well, I want to throw this up
Gray Cat through this a little
1271
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,240
while ago, and I didn't again.
It's tougher to follow high
1272
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:07,400
school recruiting the days of
the portal, but that's insane.
1273
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,520
That's insane to have that many
guys.
1274
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:18,160
That's crazy.
I mean, but it also tells you
1275
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,800
potentially how he recruits and
what he sells, that it's not
1276
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,400
just the place, it's effectively
what you're doing and what he's
1277
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,160
doing.
Looking back those years, kind
1278
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,320
of who's been the quarterbacks,
Trace Mcsorley, Sean Clifford,
1279
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:39,640
you know, Alar, it's never been
a household name, although Trace
1280
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:44,040
Mcsorley, that was probably his
best quarterback at his time at
1281
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,280
Penn State.
And I was talking with a guy
1282
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,560
from work today and Trace
Mcsorley made it as a backup for
1283
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,160
about what, 7-8 years in the
NFL, something like that, right?
1284
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,160
And you can tell me whichever
you want to tell me.
1285
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,760
If you tell me the next guy and
the first guy he brought in was
1286
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,640
going to be a backup for 10
years in the NFL, give me that
1287
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,720
guy.
Because if you tell me it's a
1288
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,440
backup in the NFL, then they've
got something special because
1289
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,760
they keep hanging around.
And if they are a backup in the
1290
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,439
NFL, they're likely going to be
an elite college quarterback.
1291
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,160
And just start thinking about
who your backups are on your
1292
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,240
teams.
Well, maybe not Tally.
1293
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,359
Sorry, Tally.
I don't know who your backup is.
1294
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,600
But like, for example, I'm a
Niners fan, it's Matt Jones.
1295
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,399
Will Levis.
OK, Will Levis for wait.
1296
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:39,000
Will Levis was one power Penn
State, but that is going to be a
1297
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,560
key.
And the funny part is if you
1298
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:48,359
actually think about it in his
time at Penn State and then our
1299
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:54,399
time just in the last decade
we've had, and this is crazy to
1300
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:58,920
say, would you all say that
we've had just as many high
1301
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,279
potential quarterbacks as he's
had?
1302
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,120
I mean, think about it.
Is Trace Mcsoy the new LAR?
1303
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:11,760
Is that who you put is the #2
And think about who we had
1304
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,399
Jerrod Evans and then go to
Hindon.
1305
01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:19,760
Yeah.
Not a jump, yeah, I mean.
1306
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,040
When you look at the output, I
mean, they definitely, they,
1307
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,319
they got something out of that.
I think you know, when they've
1308
01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:29,000
had elite wide receivers,
they've looked like a different,
1309
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,279
different team.
So you know, how much of this is
1310
01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:36,520
tied to some of the wide
receiver room, things like that.
1311
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,120
So that that's an interesting
thing that we can look at as as
1312
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,880
as recruiting starts to take
shape.
1313
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,640
And you know why somebody like
Fontelle Mines would be a good
1314
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,560
person to hang on to on that
front, not not only from a
1315
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,200
recruiting standpoint, but you
know, from from some of the wide
1316
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:54,160
receiver standpoint as well.
Just want to throw it out there.
1317
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,280
We'll probably get try to get
one or two more on here before
1318
01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:00,840
we move on to to our next step
here, but through AQR code up
1319
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,520
there.
If you want to hit hit that
1320
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,240
that'll let you join the stream
here.
1321
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:10,800
So try to get one or two more on
here before we wrap up.
1322
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,600
We saw Tib in here.
Tib jump in here if you want to
1323
01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:17,600
Jim I.
See you in the I was hoping
1324
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,040
somebody was going to hop on and
tell us that this was a bad
1325
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,880
hire.
That's what I want to hear.
1326
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:25,360
Yeah, the the the worst we've
gotten so far is Chris being
1327
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:32,240
cautiously optimistic.
Cautiously optimistic and and if
1328
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,920
and and.
I just want to hear what someone
1329
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:36,640
would say why it is.
We'll give a little Sean
1330
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,600
Clifford respect.
I just said Sean Clifford.
1331
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,320
I didn't shoot on Sean Clifford,
said Sean Clifford, Jim.
1332
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,280
But if if you want to say, and
again, this was always my fear
1333
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,760
and it still is my fear a little
bit, Can he get enough talent in
1334
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,080
Blacksburg to get the success he
had at Penn State?
1335
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,880
That is still my fear.
That's why he wasn't my number
1336
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,360
1.
He was my number two.
1337
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,840
It was can he develop?
Because they're going to be to
1338
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,400
me.
It's like here, he's going to
1339
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,720
have like 3 out of five.
You're going to have to develop.
1340
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,160
We're down.
There was only two out of five
1341
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,960
and he developed those guys and
two.
1342
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,840
That's all about the that's all
about the staff he puts around
1343
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,480
himself.
It's true, number one.
1344
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:29,200
But he takes Virginia Tech from
I think what we wanted is, you
1345
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,280
know, and still, you know, you
got to recruit the footprint.
1346
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,840
I understand that you don't
forget about where you are.
1347
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,960
You don't forget about Virginia,
the DMV, you know, the
1348
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,040
Carolinas, You don't forget
about those places.
1349
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:47,080
But like I told people from the
beginning, James Franklin brings
1350
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:52,320
a national recruiting presence
to Virginia Tech.
1351
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,480
They've got a four-star kid from
California.
1352
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,800
Crystal ball.
Crystal ball to go to Virginia
1353
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,640
Tech.
How many times has that kid been
1354
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,000
to Virginia Tech?
I'm sure he's heard about it.
1355
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,600
And again, that's another thing
of people saying, well, Virginia
1356
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,040
Tech's not a good job or
Virginia Tech is nothing like
1357
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,760
everybody knows what Virginia
Tech is.
1358
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,120
They know of Virginia Tech, but
they may not know the real
1359
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,400
Virginia Tech.
So somebody like Franklin is
1360
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,040
going to bring those names and
he's going to get those visits
1361
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,360
and then he's going to he's
going to recruit those kids
1362
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:27,640
because they want to play for
him.
1363
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:33,440
He's a highly intelligent guy.
He he knows what to say to
1364
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,960
parents, players, board of
visitors, go watch when he
1365
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,160
visited with them earlier today.
He's just he, he's a, he's a
1366
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,560
high level guy, but it's OK to
be a high level guy.
1367
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,360
And then you got to follow
through with some of the stuff.
1368
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,560
Hugh Freeze was a high level guy
in the talking aspect.
1369
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,160
That's what messed him up in at
Auburn.
1370
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,960
Everybody down here thinks he's
a politician.
1371
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,720
That's what he acts like now.
He said the right things in in
1372
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:04,080
living rooms and then as soon as
he left, he changed the whole
1373
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,760
thing up.
Think about, and I don't want to
1374
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,600
change the, you know, change the
topic from James Franklin, but
1375
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,920
think about on, on, on blue
chips.
1376
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,480
Was it blue chips?
When my man Nick Nolte was like,
1377
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,600
he going to visit the going to
visit the recruits And he's
1378
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,720
like, oh, are you Catholic?
You know?
1379
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,440
Oh, yeah, I'm Catholic too.
And then he goes to the next
1380
01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:24,360
house and he goes, oh, y'all a
Baptist?
1381
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,160
Oh, yeah, I was raised Baptist.
And he's in there clapping like
1382
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,160
that's that's the kind of coach
that Hugh Freeze was.
1383
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,800
And it's cool to be that way to
get somebody on campus, right?
1384
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,960
But then when you got to live
with that every day and you
1385
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,760
start getting caught up in that,
that's what the problem is.
1386
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:43,760
So for what everybody says,
James Franklin has been or what
1387
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,520
he has not been, you haven't had
people come out and say he's a
1388
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,880
liar.
He, he doesn't follow through
1389
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:51,520
with things.
He promises recruits.
1390
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,800
He continues to recruit at a
high level.
1391
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,120
He was at Penn State for 12
years.
1392
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:03,320
Was it 12 years, 13 years?
So maybe you hit your peak at a
1393
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:04,920
place and it's time to go
somewhere else.
1394
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:11,520
So again, I, I think that us as
Virginia Tech fans are about to
1395
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,280
see a whole nother side of
recruiting that we've never
1396
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,200
seen.
We've never seen some of the
1397
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,880
things that he's going to do in
recruiting again, starting with
1398
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:24,040
a California quarterback that
hasn't been here already saying,
1399
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,280
yeah, let me come get this place
to look.
1400
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,880
Yeah, and then you got got like
Pierce Peterson from Minnesota,
1401
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,040
you talk about national
footprint from recruiting 4 star
1402
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,040
tight end, got the offer.
You threw that on Twitter.
1403
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,000
I mean, this is a guy that is a
Penn State commit and now all of
1404
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,480
a sudden, you know, we got some
motion with him at Virginia
1405
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:45,360
Tech, so.
This thing is.
1406
01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:49,600
Only going to get bigger as we
get even even further into I
1407
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,760
mean we're we're, you know, just
over 24 hours into this cycle
1408
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:53,840
we're.
Scratching the circle.
1409
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,320
Can I say something else, Brian?
Yeah, go ahead.
1410
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,760
I'll say something else.
This is another thing too, is
1411
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:05,160
what I was telling people,
because I'm not like a, a James
1412
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,200
Franklin guy.
I haven't studied him and all of
1413
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,120
that.
I just, I'm a college football
1414
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,320
fan.
We are three and 17.
1415
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:19,680
That has sucked For five years.
We've been on every broadcast
1416
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,680
and every news station and all
analysts talking about Virginia
1417
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:29,480
Tech, every national show, every
national show, Even before he,
1418
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:33,360
even before he was announced as
coach, when everybody was mad
1419
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,320
because on game day, which
shouldn't even been talking
1420
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,080
about a three and seven team
said, well, they're in early,
1421
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,400
they're in early talks, right?
We knew early talks, but even
1422
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,800
when they said he was in early
talks, it blew up.
1423
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,320
Everybody start talking about
it.
1424
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:48,960
Oh, it's going.
To be a great.
1425
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,280
Place Oh, I think that's going
to be a good a good fit if this
1426
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,000
happens.
I'm telling you man, y'all
1427
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,880
better buckle up.
I ain't.
1428
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:00,080
Getting no season tickets but.
Hey, I ain't getting no season
1429
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,160
tickets, but I'm going to call
Jeremy and see if he'll let me
1430
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,160
use his some of them games.
The other thing is, before you
1431
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:12,080
bring Tib on here, our boy John
Earl, who I thought might Ron,
1432
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,320
you figure that out?
Well, let him figure it out.
1433
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,680
Yeah, he's got Tib.
Camera connected or at least the
1434
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:19,880
mic.
As long as you get the mic
1435
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,240
connected, we can get you in
here.
1436
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:27,160
The Facebook post yesterday got
2.2 million views.
1437
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:33,440
Twitter got 2.1 million views.
It's the eyes, right?
1438
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,720
You want the eyes on there?
I like this, Justin.
1439
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,760
They knew the truth on game day.
Pat McAfee knew the truth two
1440
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,560
weeks ago.
Y'all.
1441
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,480
Didn't watch that piece with
look at what are you granted at
1442
01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:47,320
Sheldon could you?
Did you see a Shelton when he
1443
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,960
was talking to BA that day with
the search?
1444
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,440
Like Bruce told him, ain't going
to be James Franklin.
1445
01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:56,080
We just got to figure out the
money and all that.
1446
01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:00,840
And, and and and that is the
next piece when the contract
1447
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,000
comes out.
Doug Bowman.
1448
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,080
We know it's going to be Doug
Bowman, Randy, because they're
1449
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,520
doing the FOIA stuff that takes
too damn long to fill out to get
1450
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:10,920
the stuff you need.
Godspeed to them.
1451
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:15,160
The other piece over under right
now, I want Ichi.
1452
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,480
I'll start with Sheldon.
Sheldon, I'm all set it at 8 1/2
1453
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,400
over under the number of Penn
State transfers in.
1454
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,800
I'd say, I'd say under, I mean,
I still don't know, like, you
1455
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,280
know, like how how much of it is
like, are they committing
1456
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,240
because of Penn State or are
they committing because of
1457
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:32,360
Franklin?
Obviously it's somewhere in
1458
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,640
between, but we don't.
Know no, no, no, no, no, no no
1459
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,720
no no portal.
Portal Portal transfer.
1460
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,640
Portal Transfer, Portal over
under 7 and a.
1461
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,000
Half, yeah, I'd still, I still
take the, I'd still take the
1462
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,600
under.
I just, yeah, there's just too
1463
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,840
many on those at this point.
OK, tally 7 1/2 over under
1464
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,840
number of Penn State players
coming to Virginia Tech.
1465
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,840
I got to take the under on that
too, man.
1466
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:58,000
I mean, maybe six or seven.
I think we'll get a lot of
1467
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,840
Portal players, but I don't know
how many come 6-7 exactly.
1468
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,880
I don't know how many, you know,
come from Virginia Tech, but he
1469
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,200
going to be cooking.
I'd say about 6 though.
1470
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,840
Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of right.
If you just said 6 1/2, I might
1471
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,200
would have been eager to take
the over there.
1472
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,160
That, that extra, that extra 1
bump there.
1473
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,880
I think it's going to be right
at seven.
1474
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,320
Yeah, it, it could be, it could
flirt a little higher depending
1475
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,560
on how things shake out.
But I can see, like Tally said,
1476
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,240
somewhere in the six to seven
range being what comes over
1477
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,600
mixed in with some other guys
coming from other schools.
1478
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,600
I mean, I think you're still
going to probably see a portal
1479
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:42,480
class in the 12 to 15 range, if
not higher on top of whoever we
1480
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:45,640
retain from this class.
And then what's what's coming in
1481
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,560
with this, with this current
class that you know, we're
1482
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:54,120
seeing a lot of motion on?
Y'all wrong?
1483
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:59,080
Over over.
It's going to be 9 to 10. 9 to
1484
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,560
10 it's.
Going to be 9 to 10.
1485
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,640
All right, I will.
I will be happy to be proven
1486
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,520
wrong on that one.
Well, I mean, you start looking,
1487
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:12,880
it's like, hey, it's a lot of
Virginia kids up there that you
1488
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,400
don't think he can sell that
piece of come down here, come
1489
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,640
home one year.
Tony Rojas, Amari Campbell,
1490
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:24,560
there's your first two names.
Tony Rojas line back from up in
1491
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,440
Norman, I'm pretty sure.
I think that's who Dwight was
1492
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:31,080
alluding to earlier was Tony and
Campbell went from North
1493
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,760
Carolina up there and Campbell's
blown up.
1494
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,600
Campbell might make it to the
NFL if he doesn't come down, but
1495
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:41,280
there's a lot of other guys with
not Pennsylvania connections,
1496
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,720
not Penn State connections, and
depending on who he hires for
1497
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,240
defensive coordinator in those
other positions.
1498
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,400
See, Jim's with me and y'all
know Jim knows Penn State.
1499
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:55,920
I think it's going to be a lot
more and I think it's going to
1500
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,800
be strategic too.
I don't think it's just going to
1501
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,000
be 10 guys who are going to play
immediately next year.
1502
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,560
I think he's on snipe, a couple
younger kids.
1503
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,840
That's where I get my over.
So yeah.
1504
01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:09,840
All right, Tib can't connect.
Tib did connect.
1505
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,360
Oh, hang on.
We got, we got motion.
1506
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,200
We got motion, motion.
There we go.
1507
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,560
Last caller of the night.
Can you hear me, Ross?
1508
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:18,920
We got you.
We.
1509
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,280
Can hear you.
OK.
1510
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,720
So my worry is that we're going
to get to Jimbo Hireright.
1511
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,160
We're just throwing a lot of
money at somebody who just got
1512
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,560
fired and he's going to bring in
a lot of recruits.
1513
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,240
It's going to be good for a
while that the bottom is going
1514
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,400
to fall out.
But like I said, this is a shot
1515
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,400
saying Virginia Tech is for
real, right?
1516
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,000
And that's good enough for me.
That and that's the main thing.
1517
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,920
I mean I that's a legit concern.
So I totally understand where
1518
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,280
you coming from when you say
that, but it's just like this,
1519
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,360
like I talked to somebody when
you go to just say the
1520
01:20:55,360 --> 01:21:00,800
basketball, right, It sucked
when buzz came and then he he
1521
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:02,520
dipped, right.
It sucked when he came and
1522
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,480
dipped.
But would you give away what he
1523
01:21:04,480 --> 01:21:07,440
did when he was here, you know,
going to the tournament, the
1524
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:10,080
long run that he had?
No, you got to have that because
1525
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,960
at the place we're at right now,
we don't know when that we don't
1526
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,600
know when that that realignment
is coming, but we know it's
1527
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,320
coming, right?
We know that things are
1528
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,280
happening like that.
You don't want to be left out.
1529
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:28,440
And before we before we got this
big name coach, we and all
1530
01:21:28,440 --> 01:21:31,000
intents and purposes would have
been left out of any kind of
1531
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,400
realignment.
Now at least we get our name
1532
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,160
thrown in there because that's a
James Franklin LED team.
1533
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:42,080
So for him to leave here for the
most part, he's going to have to
1534
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,920
either do something really good
or really bad.
1535
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,640
So if he does something.
Really great.
1536
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:47,760
He was fired, bro.
He was.
1537
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,800
He was ready to be fired.
Come on.
1538
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Say what now?
See you.
1539
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,960
Oh yeah.
I wouldn't even I wouldn't even
1540
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,040
live near myself right.
That's.
1541
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,920
You bro, but I'm I'm, I'm going
to change the subject right now.
1542
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,880
Yeah, go ahead, give a shout out
to to Good guy Pry because he
1543
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:05,520
get to sabotage this whole
thing.
1544
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,440
But he didn't.
So he has a lot of money out
1545
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:12,600
there.
So it would have been hard to
1546
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,400
sabotage.
A lot of money's been thrown in
1547
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,040
there.
I know Penn State had to give
1548
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,720
him 9 million.
I don't even know what we give
1549
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,480
him yet.
But but you are you are right,
1550
01:22:21,480 --> 01:22:23,880
Tib, that he could have been
like, don't go there, it's a
1551
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,480
shit show, yadda, yadda.
And I know nine and a half,
1552
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:29,520
$1,000,000 is a lot of money.
But remember, if he didn't take
1553
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:34,080
the 9 1/2 or 10 1/2, whatever,
again, we'll find out soon.
1554
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,320
He was getting a shit ton of
money from Penn State.
1555
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:42,240
So either way, So if, if, like
you said, if Pry had made the
1556
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,200
point of just shitting on it,
which I don't think he would,
1557
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,720
because I think Pry truly wants
to see the program do good.
1558
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,560
I I really do.
I think if you talk to him, you,
1559
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:58,440
you feel that from his voice.
So yeah, I, I and and it would,
1560
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:01,960
it, would it shock anybody if
Brent Prize doing something not
1561
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:06,360
on the field, but in the film
room, in the locker room next
1562
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:06,880
year?
No.
1563
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,920
So what's the responsibilities
for a general manager under
1564
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,240
under Franklin?
That's Franklin's going to take
1565
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,480
care of the roster.
So what?
1566
01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:19,000
No Andy Frank?
Andy Frank's been his personnel
1567
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,880
guy for years.
And was it Justin that said it?
1568
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:24,600
Did Justin say?
It hello is.
1569
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:28,080
Chris, Chris said a little while
ago he thinks Andy Frank's
1570
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,600
coming, OK And Andy Frank has
been his personnel guy.
1571
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,480
Let me let me effort it here
real.
1572
01:23:34,480 --> 01:23:36,000
He's been for a couple years
now.
1573
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,440
Shelton, if you know by chance,
because I know you know things
1574
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,600
Andy Frank's been up there with
for 12 years.
1575
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,720
To answer the question though,
Tia, but I was, I was thinking
1576
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,080
about that too.
And for what I gathered, I could
1577
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,320
be totally wrong.
The AD does handle the athletic
1578
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,680
department right.
But when you have a general
1579
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,080
manager of like football,
they're going to handle more of
1580
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,600
the football aspect of that
athletic department.
1581
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,120
You know, they probably will
have to answer to AAD, but
1582
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,640
everything that handled that
goes with football is going to
1583
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,840
go through that general manager.
I think that's the the way that
1584
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,680
that position is is titled and
runs.
1585
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,880
Yeah.
And and that's the things
1586
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,040
probably over the next month
that we're going to find out,
1587
01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:23,400
we're going to find out the
staff, we're going to find out
1588
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,680
the structure of how the GM is
going to be set up.
1589
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,000
That's going to be the
interesting piece.
1590
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,080
The portal, obviously the portal
obviously what flips recruiting
1591
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,520
because we're 3-3 weeks away,
right?
1592
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,720
We're three weeks away from
National Signing Day.
1593
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:44,960
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, man, what what else
1594
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,200
you got for us, Ted?
Before we I'll just say this.
1595
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,160
I don't think the Penn State
football program should exist.
1596
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:57,040
And I think if Franklin is a
vindictive motherfucker, I think
1597
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,520
he should just go scorched
earth, do whatever he can, you
1598
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,280
know, destroy their recruiting
class, take their coaches.
1599
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,200
He might, he might.
I mean, let's do it.
1600
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,200
Guy was there for 14 years and
what did he really do bad there?
1601
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,440
Had a had a couple losses this
year.
1602
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,560
Not beat Ohio State, ever.
He beat him, but he did.
1603
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,160
No, he beat.
Him, he beat him.
1604
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:22,280
He did.
He didn't beat him.
1605
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,160
He didn't beat him as
consistently as.
1606
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,080
He has as many victories against
Ohio State as Frank Beaver does.
1607
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:29,400
True.
Yeah, true.
1608
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:29,960
True.
Fair.
1609
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,720
All right, Tim, appreciate you
getting on with us at the last
1610
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,520
second here.
We'll see you in the future.
1611
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:37,960
All right, have a good one
fellas.
1612
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,160
All right, man.
Thank you all.
1613
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,120
Righty.
All right, So Miami, huh?
1614
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,800
I.
I don't know what we're going to
1615
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,400
do.
Who knows, he might be going
1616
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,760
through the locker room this
week saying Pat guys on the
1617
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,880
back, if you get 2 patches,
staying, if you get 1 patch, you
1618
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,160
know you don't.
Hey.
1619
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,280
We got JV and Robinson coming in
now as of two hours ago.
1620
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,200
He's going to be at the game
Saturday. 4 star wide receiver
1621
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:16,920
out of PA.
So shit's happening guys.
1622
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:21,440
So I mean, it's it's going to be
an interesting game because of
1623
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,040
the recruits that are going to
be there and the recruits that
1624
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,880
are going to be there that
weren't even like on our radar.
1625
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:32,160
You know. 36 hours ago, whatever
it was, oh, we got, we got one
1626
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:33,040
more.
We got one.
1627
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:33,200
More.
Oh.
1628
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,560
He jumped off.
Hey, you going to come?
1629
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:39,480
Back, Mr. Hokey.
But here's the crazy part,
1630
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,400
though.
Normally stuff like that on game
1631
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,000
day, Shelton, you were down
there for years.
1632
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,160
Usually the coach is running
around like a chain with head
1633
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,120
cut off.
That's what James Franklin gets
1634
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,400
to do Saturday.
He gets to Gladys.
1635
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,160
Sail, sail.
Sail.
1636
01:26:56,160 --> 01:27:02,240
Sail, sail.
That's a huge benefit to getting
1637
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:06,440
this locked in this week he gets
now obviously with all these
1638
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:09,520
kids coming, he's will get to
glad hand sell the program as he
1639
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,080
does Mr. Hokey.
I'm going to let I'm going to
1640
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:15,720
give you 30 seconds to come in
if you don't.
1641
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,640
We got to move to big screeners.
Although should we?
1642
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,920
By the way, are y'all giving us
any chance this weekend?
1643
01:27:22,440 --> 01:27:24,680
No.
No, no, no.
1644
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:27,080
OK.
I think they'll, I think they'll
1645
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:28,400
cover, but they're not going to
win.
1646
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,280
What's the spread right now?
Was it 14?
1647
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,640
And.
A half 17 1/2.
1648
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,400
I thought that was too much.
Way too much.
1649
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,120
They watched the Florida State
game and they was like, yeah,
1650
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:43,040
they're going to be by 20.
Yeah, but the Florida State,
1651
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,840
that was them, that was us.
Well, two our credit 4th down,
1652
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:51,280
down what 10 decided to go for
it at the 30 yard line.
1653
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:53,800
Yeah.
Like.
1654
01:27:54,440 --> 01:27:56,920
That's that's the ones that hurt
because you know, it's like this
1655
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,560
was really a 10 point game.
Well, that, that's awful.
1656
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,800
I mean, obviously you can look
at the turnovers as being
1657
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,800
probably the biggest difference
in the game.
1658
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,960
Yeah, there there was miscues
throughout the game, but I mean,
1659
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,560
the, the turnovers themselves
were probably the biggest.
1660
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,520
When you look at the the way the
game played out, you look at you
1661
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,200
look at all the, the, the, the
culmination of everything.
1662
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,640
If you don't turn the ball over
like you did, you probably are
1663
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,120
at least making that a giving
yourself a chance at the end
1664
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,440
versus it being, you know, the
lopsided victory that it was.
1665
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,600
Yeah, but before we do big
strainers because your 30
1666
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:39,000
seconds is up Mr. Hokey for
y'all assistance, do y'all have
1667
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,320
one, one or two in mile that you
say go get that guy.
1668
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,120
Dex.
Dex.
1669
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:51,480
Why didn't nobody say Jim knows?
We tried like hella.
1670
01:28:51,480 --> 01:28:53,560
We, we, we, we were on that
wagon too long.
1671
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,840
We we're, we're off of it now.
Nobody wants to say Jim knows he
1672
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:03,680
won't follow him, but.
Maybe we tried him like hell
1673
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,200
last year.
You got anybody?
1674
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:10,920
I don't, I don't think Dex is
coming, but I just I want to
1675
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:12,600
know what they're going to do
with this offensive line.
1676
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,680
Like, I watched so much bad
offensive line play and then I
1677
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,840
can kind of see some good stuff
that Moore is doing.
1678
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:23,560
I'm going to be interested to
see who he brings or does he
1679
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,800
give him a chance or what route
they go with the offensive line.
1680
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,640
I have no idea what they're
going to do, but that's what I'm
1681
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:33,760
more probably looking at than
than anything.
1682
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:39,680
Offensive line coach all.
Right offensive line coach
1683
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:44,600
Shelton, you got anybody?
No, honestly.
1684
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,840
No, I'll throw a name out there.
What about Coach Chaos?
1685
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:54,640
I've seen somebody else throwing
it out there.
1686
01:29:56,360 --> 01:30:00,120
That was a name that we we heard
a lot this past offseason.
1687
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,240
We heard a lot about it.
It clears there's a connect.
1688
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,000
Well we don't know if it's lies
or not.
1689
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,600
It's like some it's like you
saying well I'm going to go work
1690
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,000
for this company and then the
other company next door to them
1691
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,880
says we will give you 30,000
more.
1692
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,160
Oh OK man fuck them.
I'm coming to y'all, I'm just.
1693
01:30:14,440 --> 01:30:16,160
Going to stay here.
He was a.
1694
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:17,400
He was an elite recruiter
though.
1695
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:22,360
He is an elite recruiter and and
the Ricky thing is, I mean, you,
1696
01:30:22,440 --> 01:30:25,560
you feel like either him or
Morehead's probably going to be
1697
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,400
it.
I don't, I don't think he's
1698
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:32,160
going to take a risk with an up
and Comer or a Soraka or a
1699
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:36,880
Mightier check.
I think I think it's going to be
1700
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,440
one of those two.
I think it's going to be a
1701
01:30:38,440 --> 01:30:39,680
highly experienced guy.
He.
1702
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:41,400
Wants he wants to home run it
out the gate.
1703
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,360
If it ends up not working, he
can always roll the dice later,
1704
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:45,840
but.
Can you know run?
1705
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
It out the gate.
And we know with him, he is not
1706
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,320
afraid to fire offensive
coordinators.
1707
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,960
To his credit, if it don't work,
he's getting.
1708
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:57,800
That shit either get promoted or
fired.
1709
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,400
There's no middle.
There ain't no middle.
1710
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,680
All righty, let's go real quick.
Let's make some picks.
1711
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,040
Cali.
You going to do it, man?
1712
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,160
Come on, keep going.
I got to, I got to keep hitting
1713
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:14,320
them right.
Keep in them.
1714
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,560
If you've been making bets the
last like month with Cali, you
1715
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:21,640
was probably up a couple $100
because he has went from like 7
1716
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,200
or 8 games under to only four
games under.
1717
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,560
He's been rolling.
Shelton took a slight step back
1718
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:31,080
last week.
I didn't go over again.
1719
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,680
I'm out of the cellar.
You're out of the cellar, Damn
1720
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,120
you.
So lot of lot of good games this
1721
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,040
weekend.
We got one curveball.
1722
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:41,720
I wouldn't say curveball, but a
little Commonwealth clash here
1723
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,080
on the board.
But let's start it out, Brian.
1724
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:50,760
We are going with my pick,
Nebraska, Penn State and I
1725
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:54,600
switched up on this one.
But then I decided neither one
1726
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:57,960
of these teams can win by 4 and
by 9 1/2 points.
1727
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:01,600
I'm more interested to see how
Penn State plays this week.
1728
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,800
They still can get bowl
eligibility.
1729
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:08,200
But with that being said, give
me Big Red. 9 1/2 is way too
1730
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:12,240
much to lay Sheldon.
Who you got?
1731
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:16,880
Yes.
Well, I'd have to look at who I
1732
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:18,680
selected.
That would be the first thing.
1733
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,760
Yeah, I took, I took Nebraska.
I I don't think Penn State is as
1734
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,360
bad as people think.
I've had, I think I've had some
1735
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:29,160
really bad luck this year, but
none and half seems like a lot.
1736
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:33,160
I think Nebraska will will do
well to to cover that.
1737
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:38,520
Sally.
Penn State, they mad because we
1738
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,800
got their coach.
They have to prove point.
1739
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,160
They're going to prove a point.
All right, all.
1740
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,360
Right, they will not be a point.
I, I, I think they're going to
1741
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:49,200
prove the point that they win.
I don't think they're going to
1742
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,440
prove a point by winning by more
than 9 1/2 so.
1743
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,080
I will take Nebraska.
There we go.
1744
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,240
Who's next?
Tally.
1745
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,280
Good 10.
OK, so I got the Georgia Tech
1746
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,120
pick game.
This is the one Narduzi said
1747
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,320
matters, right?
Yep.
1748
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,480
So Georgia Tech's going to win
this game.
1749
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:14,960
I'm getting on with it by more
than three points.
1750
01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:17,320
Yeah, I'm Rod.
I'm Rod with that big time
1751
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,200
because Narduzzi, I think, put
his fucking foot in his mouth
1752
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,600
way too many times.
And I think Georgia Tech's going
1753
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:25,160
to win this by at least a
touchdown.
1754
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,240
Georgia.
Tech by more than two and a
1755
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,840
half, by more than a touchdown.
Everything.
1756
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,480
The wheels fell off last week.
Depression quarterback it, and
1757
01:33:35,480 --> 01:33:37,560
in Atlanta it's going to look
even worse.
1758
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,800
Yeah, So Georgia Tech for me is
the opposite of Penn State.
1759
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,360
I think that they are not as
good as people think that they
1760
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,240
are based on how they played in
some of their games this year.
1761
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,840
That being said, I did take
Georgia Tech by a hair.
1762
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:54,240
I do think it'll be a very close
game, but Georgia Tech will win
1763
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:56,240
by the skin of their teeth.
I I I imagine.
1764
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,280
All right, Shelton with the
Commonwealth clash.
1765
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,200
The Commonwealth clash been a
major topic of discussion in the
1766
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:08,760
office this week.
One of the biggest games in the
1767
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,880
FCS?
Not actually, but at least from
1768
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:14,960
our perspective.
So Will and Mary, big game for
1769
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,360
them.
They need to win this game in
1770
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:21,360
order to stay in contingent for
the FCS playoffs, so it is
1771
01:34:21,440 --> 01:34:23,320
effectively a must win situation
for them.
1772
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,880
I will take the home team Will
and Mary.
1773
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,960
I've got them covering 8 1/2 and
beating the the Spiders.
1774
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,600
Tally.
I chose William and Mary because
1775
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,400
Shelton chosen and I don't know
anything about neither one of
1776
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:41,440
those teams.
I'm riding with William and
1777
01:34:41,440 --> 01:34:42,520
Mary.
I think they're going to make a
1778
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:46,240
statement in this one.
You keep on track to make the
1779
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:47,640
playoff.
I think it's going to be a big
1780
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:49,000
game for them.
They're at home.
1781
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,360
They'll they're going to take
care of business.
1782
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:59,200
My father-in-law went to U of R
so I'm against you Sheldon on
1783
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:00,800
this.
I think I'll let William and
1784
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,440
Mary win, but the the spiders
will cover.
1785
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,760
I'm realizing in hindsight I
should have went with the with
1786
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,800
the red logo instead of the blue
logo on this one.
1787
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:11,440
Oh, that's fine.
Yeah, looks great.
1788
01:35:12,440 --> 01:35:15,160
Thanks for getting the the the
women very logo right that that
1789
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,680
would be a a big celebration in
the office.
1790
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,400
Because we've asked him.
We've got some some that just
1791
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,360
look very similar that aren't
the current logo.
1792
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,120
So you got it, you got it right.
So Congrats to Brian for there.
1793
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:26,640
There we go.
There we go.
1794
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,520
All right.
Brian, you got the last one.
1795
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,200
You got the big one, man.
Last one, man, the USC Oregon,
1796
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,720
this is an interesting match up.
I, I, I, I think when I looked
1797
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,000
at the 10 1/2, I was a little
wary going this way, but
1798
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,920
ultimately I'm going to pick the
Ducks in this one.
1799
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:47,240
I think they're going to take
care of business.
1800
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:54,400
USD has burned me once with the
big number this year.
1801
01:35:55,440 --> 01:35:56,960
I don't think they're going to
burn me twice.
1802
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,600
I'm not saying they're going to
win this game, but I think just
1803
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:03,960
10 1/2 is too much to lay USC.
These are both good teams.
1804
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,200
I think it's a lot tighter than
this, so I'll take the 10 1/2
1805
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,160
points at the zoo for the
Trojans there.
1806
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,560
We go, Sheldon.
Yeah, now that I really think
1807
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,160
about it, you'll see.
Probably a smarter pick, but I
1808
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:18,960
picked Oregon so I'm just going
to roll with it.
1809
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,720
Sheldon said Fade Curtis is
still in play.
1810
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,880
Oh, Curtis picked that.
Up Exactly, exactly my thought
1811
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:32,160
saying Curtis picked USC said
I'm going the opposite way
1812
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:35,960
buddy, give me order.
There we go.
1813
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:40,120
So there are the big screeners
for this week.
1814
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:46,680
Going to be fun.
Fun weekend ahead, Fun night
1815
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:50,160
tonight for everybody who has
been here listening.
1816
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,960
By the way, do you see Mike
London around the office?
1817
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:57,800
Shelton.
I have not seen him around the
1818
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,240
office because the football
building is separate, but I've
1819
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:01,640
had a couple of interactions
with him.
1820
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,880
He is a super, super nice guy.
Like not like not a
1821
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,880
stereotypical like, you know,
gruff old guy football coach.
1822
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,760
Like he's super personable and
friendly.
1823
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,000
So I I love him.
Very cool, I've always heard
1824
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,640
that about him too.
He's always.
1825
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,200
A good guy.
I met him back when I coached at
1826
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:17,800
Tucker.
He came by the building a couple
1827
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,480
times.
So yeah, he's a, he's a good
1828
01:37:19,480 --> 01:37:23,080
guy, man.
Nights, all right, again, it has
1829
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,080
been a fun night.
Chad has been a fun night.
1830
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:29,000
Everybody that jumped on with
us, we really appreciate it.
1831
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:34,600
Y'all, you know, it's been fun.
It's we, we, we got where we
1832
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:36,800
wanted to be.
We got before Thanksgiving where
1833
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,200
we wanted to be.
Basketball's 4 and up.
1834
01:37:40,440 --> 01:37:44,360
Basketball's looking good.
Basketball's got a game tomorrow
1835
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,800
night and then they head to the
Bahamas, find out a lot about
1836
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,360
the team next week.
I don't know where Phil is.
1837
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:53,400
I told Phil to come on tonight.
Phil is going to be heading to
1838
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:58,720
the Bahamas for that tournament.
I mean so maybe live check in?
1839
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:00,640
So he's gonna have a good he
needs to do.
1840
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,040
Yeah, he needs to get on there,
do some live streaming from.
1841
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:04,520
We'll see.
We'll see.
1842
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,760
We can get enough Internet to do
that.
1843
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,080
Oh, he should be.
He's gonna get a resort man.
1844
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,000
All right.
Anything else?
1845
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,600
Did anybody else commit to
coming this weekend in the last
1846
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,880
10 minutes?
I've been kind of, you know.
1847
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,680
Monitoring.
Monitored around here, I haven't
1848
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:20,840
seen any other names that I
haven't like tried to throw it
1849
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,480
on here while we're while we're
going live, but yeah all.

00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,600
friendly neighborhood pharmacy

00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Blacksburg.
We are also brought to you by
10
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,880
moments on the Mori.
Need a weekend getaway next

00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,840
spring, summer or fall?
Think about Moments on the Mori,
12
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,400
exactly what you might need down
in Lexington, VA and owned by a
13
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,080
proud hokey fishing, kayak and
all sorts of fun stuff.
14
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,080
Check out the link in the
comments section or visit them
15
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,680
at Moments on the Mori at their
Instagram page.
16
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440
We finally got here, y'all?
Hey, Adam.
17
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,440
We got our guy, we got our guy.
Did we think it was going to
18
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
happen?
You know what, there was moments
19
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840
where I was like, I don't know
if they're going to close the
20
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,040
deal.
I don't know if they're close,
21
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,240
close the deal.
It was, it was a very 6-7
22
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,840
situation.
Like I I don't know what was
23
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200
going to happen.
Only hear about that 19 times a
24
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
day in my household.
It it, it was, it was.
25
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,240
Is it going to happen?
Are we going to get big boy?
26
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Are we going to have the balls
enough to probably make the next
27
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,360
three years happen?
I think probably there's that's
28
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,000
been put to rest because there
were people questioning can we
29
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,520
hit those numbers?
I got a feeling I don't think
30
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,520
Jane Franklin would have signed
the dotted line unless that
31
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
money was guaranteed.
So.
32
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,520
But here we are.
We are here to tell the truth
33
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
tonight.
We are trying to get Tally on.
34
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,640
I don't know Brian, do you?
Do you got a message from him
35
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,920
before we start opening?
Up for getting Alabama Internet
36
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
issues?
He needs to just get on his damn
37
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,320
phone and hold it up like this.
Like I did this morning on Big
38
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Dog.
Yeah, if y'all didn't catch
39
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Brown on Big Dog this morning.
Technical difficulties there.
40
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,280
As well.
Hey, you know what sometimes you
41
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,240
got to do what you got to do.
Sometimes you, you bring your
42
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760
work computer in and you, you
forwarded the the link to join
43
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720
to your work computer and it
doesn't make it through the
44
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,080
firewall and you got to, you got
to go with Brown too there, so.
45
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,880
You, you got to do.
We thought Tally got better
46
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Wi-Fi too.
We thought he got what was it?
47
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Starlink is.
That it Nah, Google Fiber,
48
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Google Fiber, although that was
that was before he moved.
49
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200
So I don't I don't know what
he's got at the news place.
50
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,000
I can't.
Remember what he.
51
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Did or if he went with the same
thing.
52
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,520
So you know what we're going,
we're going to let this thing
53
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,040
ride.
He's going to join us as soon as
54
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,520
he can.
I think he's probably doing like
55
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
a router restart, you know the
the whole deal there.
56
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,440
So we didn't want to hold this
thing back too much longer.
57
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
We're going to let him join when
he jumps in, but we got a big
58
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720
one tonight.
Huge.
59
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
It's been obviously with James
Franklin with the announcement
60
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,800
yesterday, you know, one of the
probably the biggest, maybe the
61
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
biggest coach empire in ACC
history, definitely the biggest
62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,640
coach empire in 1st.
In fact, it's definitely the
63
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,360
biggest question.
He put it in there at 8:30.
64
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,840
He was ready.
Ready to rock, Justin?
65
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,680
Ready to rock Shelton before we
go out letting everybody get on.
66
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,080
You've been busting your ass
today.
67
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,480
Tell everybody what you got
coming up.
68
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,240
I'm assuming it's going to get
dropped tomorrow.
69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Yes, tomorrow morning.
Yep.
70
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Yeah, so so.
We're yeah, do an article for
71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,840
the key play thekeyplay.com.
You can check out and become a
72
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,840
member too, because we got some
pretty good content this week
73
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,680
and going forward.
Obviously this big hire.
74
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280
But I just kind of I did a
little bit of a deep dive into
75
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,960
his resume.
Obviously you can, you know,
76
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,000
look at yourself, but just
talking about, you know, the
77
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,880
fact that I think it's on paper
the most credentialed to hire in
78
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,920
ACC football history.
You could argue maybe Mark Rick
79
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,240
at Georgia taking Miami job was
up there, maybe Bill Belichick.
80
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,880
But outside of that, I mean,
this is just one of the most
81
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080
proven hires that you know, any
team in this league has ever
82
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,760
had.
And I talked about maybe some of
83
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160
the misconceptions about coach
Franklin.
84
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,160
You know, the big game narrative
is a little bit overblown.
85
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600
You know, in game coaching, I
talk about that and just kind of
86
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,160
what is what is perception is
there among among the football
87
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,880
industry.
So it was pretty, it was pretty
88
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,720
informative too.
And I think we'll talk about it.
89
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,800
You know, some of the numbers
that I, I, I did, I found in my
90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,720
research, But I think by and
large, big thing is just this
91
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,680
dude is an ace recruiter.
He develops talent, he puts guys
92
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,040
in the league and he wins games.
And bottom line is he's a
93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,120
winner.
And so we're getting a proven
94
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920
winner at the, at the powerful
level.
95
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,240
And I think I think it's
awesome.
96
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,560
I think we should all be stoked.
Yeah, I mean, this is just it's
97
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,680
a big time hire.
I know.
98
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,600
You know when when Sheldon was
first talking about this, you
99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,560
see in some of the numbers
especially like win percentage
100
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,440
against unranked teams.
She'll just drop that on us
101
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:27,400
right before. 104 and 23. 80.9.
Yeah, when we when we talk about
102
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,160
like what what's been the
problem with the Hokies
103
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,680
especially, you know, the end of
the the Beamer days and and so
104
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,720
forth, Like the biggest problem
is we're not winning the games
105
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,800
we should win.
And Franklin has proved
106
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,840
historically that he takes care
of most of those games.
107
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,840
So I'm excited.
I'm just, I'm ecstatic.
108
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,960
I, I know we're going to let
some folks get in here and tell,
109
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
tell their, tell their truths on
this thing.
110
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,880
But man, I'm, I'm pumped.
I I think some of the the
111
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,080
Florida State and Arkansas tears
on the timeline have been a a
112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
fucking highlight for me as
well.
113
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Awesome, it's been so the.
Meltdown, the meltdown of like,
114
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,040
I mean, we're, we're, you got
people hyping up Fayetteville.
115
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Like has anyone ever hyped up
Fayetteville as like the the,
116
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,560
the spot, the destination?
No.
117
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320
So like I don't know what we're
doing.
118
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,360
I, I, I, I don't know what they
were doing either.
119
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,320
And it was the whole in, in that
it was like y'all had no shot at
120
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,560
him and you know, Florida
State's coming, Florida State's
121
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,920
coming well, Florida State never
came because Florida State ain't
122
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
got the money right now.
They're honest to God the.
123
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,560
State has blue balls.
So, you know, and as far as
124
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Arkansas goes, it's like they've
had what 3 did Sean, did you put
125
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680
this out here?
Did you put Arkansas has had
126
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480
like 3-10 win season in the last
40 years?
127
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
No, that was something else, but
I did see that tweet.
128
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,160
OK, good.
You saw the tweet then and it's
129
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
like, oh, so no, you guys aren't
that good.
130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200
It was sweet getting their tears
because now they don't know who
131
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,600
the hell they're getting and
it's going to be pretty awesome.
132
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Commits, decommits, crystal
balls, art source with fun
133
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640
stuff.
But again, we we advertisements
134
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
that is we're still waiting on
tally, but we're going to keep
135
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
we're going to get it rolling.
Brian's going to drop the link
136
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:25,880
in all of the necessary places.
So click on it.
137
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Come in again.
Y'all know how this works.
138
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240
We're not going to talk an hour.
We're not talking 50 minutes.
139
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Give you a point why you like it
or if you hate it.
140
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,960
If you absolutely hate this
hire, come tell why you hate it.
141
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
I can't imagine too many people
absolutely hating this I.
142
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Think I know one.
I know one who hates.
143
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,760
It there might be varying
degrees of wait and see, might
144
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960
be varying degrees of wait and
see, but you know what?
145
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Look who's here.
He's back.
146
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560
He's back.
We good now.
147
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,160
Just keep moving your hand like
this.
148
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,600
So we know Sally, I was just
giving them what you always give
149
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,640
them.
There we go.
150
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,320
You ain't, you ain't allowed to
to talk for an hour.
151
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,560
Get in, Tell you why you like
it, tell you why you hate it,
152
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:15,800
tell you what you're looking
forward to.
153
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,920
All that fun stuff.
So, oh, Sicra is actually James
154
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,320
Franklin.
Y'all didn't know that?
155
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,440
There it is right there.
He's actually James Franklin.
156
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600
He told you the whole time.
So Brian's dropping that in all
157
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,680
the chats.
Brian, Twitter let you get it
158
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,080
everywhere and y'all.
Throw it.
159
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,520
I'm throwing it out there right
now.
160
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,440
We had somebody jump in and then
he jumped back out.
161
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160
He said he was going to be.
He originally originally said
162
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
he's going to be ready between
93945I don't know if he was
163
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,920
jumping on early, just trying to
get things rolling, but I'm sure
164
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,160
that that he will be making an
appearance here before we close
165
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,040
this thing out.
Absolutely.
166
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160
So y'all see the IT is in there

I don't know if you got it on
Twitter yet, Brian.
169
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
It doesn't really drop on

00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,520
That's right.
That's right.
192
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Go ahead, Josh.
Yeah, no, sorry, hold on.
193
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,240
I'm in the middle of dinner and.
Podcast.
194
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Timing is perfect.
We're live, everybody.
195
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000
This is we, we don't, we're not
stuck.
196
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,080
So go ahead.
You, you, you've joined us a
197
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
couple times.
What's your feelings towards it?
198
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Good, bad, indifferent, and what
you're most excited about or
199
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,280
least excited about.
I am super excited.
200
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,480
I feel like, as we all should
be, literally it's only been day
201
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,600
one out of like a day and a half
of us having Franklin and we're
202
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,960
already reaping the benefits in
a positive way.
203
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,120
I don't know if y'all saw it but
I think his name is like Tim
204
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Thomas or something off Twitter.
We already got a donation
205
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,240
verbatim if it's true or not.
A donation of like 9:50 to 20
206
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,160
million already and it's
literally Franklin day one on
207
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280
the recruiting front this
Saturday is massive.
208
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Like we already got a crystal
ball for that four-star QB out
209
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,360
of California and a bunch home.
More four stars coming.
210
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,480
So I'm definitely excited.
I popped in the chat too and I
211
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,760
was like, dare I say we back?
But we got to wait and see how
212
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,440
his staff shakes out, which I
think that'll determine what our
213
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
ceiling looks like if we make
all the right hires.
214
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,120
And I think we're in a great
spot.
215
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,280
Yeah, I agree with you.
Who do, who do you think Like do
216
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
you have any name circled of
guys you want to see on this
217
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
staff or you have you thought
that far through it at this
218
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,160
point?
The only thing that I've kind of
219
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,880
seen a little bit is for like OC
kind of names obviously floating
220
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,920
around Joe Moorehead.
Now you can take that grain of
221
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000
salt, however, now if we could
have a running back like Saquon
222
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,800
in that Joe Morehead offense,
then I'm OK.
223
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,880
I'd be down for it.
And then I'm wondering if we
224
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:26,200
could throw enough money at
Ricky at ODU if I give him an
225
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,040
OK.
We can because he's only making
226
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,680
$800,000 and with this new
budget, Oh yeah, we could, we
227
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,240
could double.
I'm going to Would y'all say
228
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640
double that?
We could, I think, I think
229
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,480
you're at least going to hit 1.5
on that.
230
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,360
So like you're, you're, you're
getting damn close to Dublin.
231
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,880
And if we could make it a
package deal if Colton Joseph
232
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,280
goes in the portal, I mean,
that's that would be great in a
233
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,480
sense too.
So get the OC with an
234
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,320
established quarterback in that
system.
235
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,120
I mean, we saw what he did to us
at home, so we know dude's a
236
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
baller.
Yeah, definitely having a really
237
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760
good season this year.
So Josh seems excited about it.
238
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,440
Josh, this is the third time
you've joined us, man, we really
239
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,040
appreciate.
But we got somebody waiting in
240
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,520
the green room.
We're going to we, we're going
241
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,320
to do this more often than you
can see.
242
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,160
But appreciate you all jumping
on with us.
243
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,960
Yeah, of course.
Thanks for having me fellas.
244
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Appreciate it man.
Thanks, appreciate.
245
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Yeah, you too.
Tyler, look who is up next.
246
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
There is, hey.
What's ready?
247
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,480
What's going on?
How?
248
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,440
You feeling how you feeling?
I like that.
249
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,600
I like this.
What's what's been the what's
250
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,840
what's been the the feeling on
your side there, man.
251
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Man, he bought the kill the
recruiting in this 757 man like
252
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,800
I'm ecstatic.
I like this that's.
253
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,480
What that's?
So Andre, you were on with us a
254
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280
couple about a month ago, right?
That's when we had a big episode
255
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,680
where everybody talked about it
when the rumors were coming
256
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
through, you know what we might
get it.
257
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Did you believe it?
Did you believe like we could
258
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,400
get to that level?
I.
259
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Wanted us to reach a little
higher.
260
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
I mean, for that kind of money,
I was trying to see what's up
261
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,680
with saving Irving.
I want big dogs man, but but
262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,520
I'm.
Cool with Frank?
263
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Nope.
Look.
264
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,960
I don't have no ill will with
this hire.
265
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
I think he going to put us in
the right position at least to
266
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,480
make the playoffs within the
first two years.
267
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
We take it national championship
later, but first two years we
268
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,960
should be in the playoffs.
Yeah, I mean, you know, Sheldon
269
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,840
talked about it like as far as
like credentialed hires and
270
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560
things like that, guys with like
resumes to talk about.
271
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,800
This is definitely a big time
move for Virginia Tech.
272
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,120
I think, you know, like, like
Josh was saying before you
273
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,400
jumped on here reaping the
benefits already on the
274
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680
recruiting front, some on the
money front.
275
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,120
You know, looking at the buzz
that we're getting in the
276
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840
national media, I think like
people are paying attention to
277
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,920
the Hokies and what they're
doing.
278
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,840
I think we're moving a little
bit differently than we have
279
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,440
been on that front.
So I'm excited.
280
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,240
I know I asked Josh this the
last time you got anybody
281
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,640
circled on your your assistant
list that you'd like to see come
282
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:29,120
along with with Mr. Franklin?
Yeah, I want Anthony Poindexter
283
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,600
there.
We go, there we go.
284
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120
I was on Big Dog this morning.
I was like, you know, they were
285
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,720
talking about he was, he asked
me who I want.
286
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,960
I was like, let's get Dex down
here, let's do it.
287
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,200
But you know.
I'm I had a funny story like 2
288
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,880
weeks ago.
I'm just like yeah let me ask my
289
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Alexis.
So I asked Alexis about James
290
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Franklin and she came out and
said James Franklin.
291
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Is the coach of Virginia.
Tech for seven years, 63
292
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,160
billion.
I'm like what?
293
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920
And I put it in the chat.
This is probably like 2 shows
294
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,040
ago maybe when he's playing
Louisville, maybe that was the
295
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,400
time.
I'm like, did she just say that
296
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,920
for real?
That's all.
297
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
I'm hyped though man.
I like it.
298
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,599
Some big players.
I'm tired of these little ass
299
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,920
players.
I think we about to play big boy
300
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,760
football.
Tally what you think, man.
301
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,520
I like it man.
I'm excited.
302
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,960
When we talked about coaching,
coaching highs, that was my guy.
303
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,400
So I'm glad we pulled it off.
I'm excited about it.
304
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,080
I heard y'all say something
about the kid from ODU.
305
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,200
You think we can get help,
Ronnie?
306
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,480
Ronnie.
Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
307
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,360
What's his name?
Ricky, Ronnie.
308
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Yeah.
I mean, I think, I think he's
309
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,480
definitely somebody that you got
to at least ask the question of,
310
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,880
right?
Like, like, like Curtis was
311
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,080
saying, I think, you know, he's
not making a ton of money down
312
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,720
there.
I think it makes sense to, you
313
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,960
know, set your targets that way.
I mean, that's somebody that
314
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,720
comes from his coaching tree.
So it's not, you know, not not
315
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,200
out of the realm.
The relationship's already
316
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,600
there.
So I mean, I'm, I'm definitely
317
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
giving him a call and making him
tell me no A. 100%.
318
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Franklin Slick, man.
Franklin Slick.
319
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,160
Think about this.
He was at a like, what other
320
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,960
coaches, you know, get fired and
then be on the sidelines at
321
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,360
somebody else's game, right?
Like, he just pop up in Norfolk,
322
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,640
like, I'm just going to this
game to support my homeboy out
323
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,760
here eating with the fans.
And, you know, he already knew
324
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,560
he was going to Virginia Tech by
that time.
325
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,200
You know he did.
You know he was just waiting for
326
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,160
all the legal shit to get done.
Yeah, what kind of, what kind of
327
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,360
conversations was being had, You
know what I'm saying in them
328
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,280
back room.
But I don't know man.
329
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,800
I was scared of I was thinking
we might because he's so close.
330
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,160
I was scared of the guy from
JMUI.
331
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000
Think he a great.
Coach, I just didn't want us to
332
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,600
go that way this time.
Like let's go, let's go deep sea
333
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,160
fishing.
If we going, let's go.
334
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840
We hunting for great whites.
We don't want these punk ass
335
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,200
little fish man.
Let's go for green fish man.
336
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240
Like you know, it's what we
doing man.
337
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,760
But I'm gonna let somebody get
on.
338
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,560
Yeah.
Well, first.
339
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Of all my point, like that was
my point.
340
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,480
If I if we're going to spend the
money, let's spend the money on
341
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,720
a big fish.
Let's not spend the money on a
342
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,680
on a project.
I mean, and it could have worked
343
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,240
out fine.
But you know, I feel like of of
344
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,120
the coaches that were out there
that seemed reasonable, that
345
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,000
seemed feasible for Virginia
Tech to pull.
346
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840
I think we did about as good as
you could expect.
347
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,160
Yeah, 100%, man, 100%.
Well, Andretti, as always, we
348
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320
appreciate you jumping on with
us a few minutes, man.
349
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,920
Hopefully soon we catch you in
Blacksburg for a game.
350
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,520
All right, I've.

There we go.
362
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,800
Appreciate it, Andrade.

00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,400
Wow.
Week y'all.
365
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,720
What's going on?
Not much is why that's Jeremy
366
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:43,840
Baltimore more or not, I am
really excited right now.
367
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,040
I know you knew about this a
long time before it happened,
368
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,160
you just didn't tell them about
it.
369
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,080
No, no, no, I, I found out as
like you all were finding out.
370
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Yeah, we we had a a heads up
around the same time.
371
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,920
OK.
All right.
372
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Just wanted to make sure.
We got the green flag about the
373
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800
same time.
I love hearing that man.
374
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,280
Yes, it started, but I mean,
that's The thing is we were all
375
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,200
getting OK.
It's it's about to come.
376
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,520
We all you know, we're hearing
that, but like the hold UPS,
377
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
like they weren't bullshitting
us.
378
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,280
There were legitimate hold ups
and you can't blame James
379
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,600
Franklin for wanting pen to
paper on our end to make sure
380
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,200
that money was coming in before
he saw, you know, Yeah.
381
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440
So.
It's, you know, I get it.
382
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,840
Yeah, I feel like we were
getting, we got edge for about 3
383
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,000
weeks.
But you know what?
384
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,080
It turned out all right once it
finally came.
385
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,840
Yeah, can I say something real
quick, Jeremy, to what Tally
386
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160
said a couple weeks ago.
A guy like him was going to get
387
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,120
that money in the door, though.
Yeah, a guy like James Franklin
388
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,480
was going to get that money in
the door.
389
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,720
That's the thing, is that at
first, whenever Franklin started
390
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,880
getting thrown around, and I
will admit it now, like I'm a A,
391
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,080
I'm a proud man and usually
don't admit when I'm wrong.
392
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,800
That's actually a lie.
Admit when I'm wrong.
393
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,440
But when they first started
throwing it around, we were
394
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
fresh off the, he was fresh off
the Northwestern loss.
395
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,200
And I was like, no, there's no
way we can't do that.
396
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,360
And then I you all especially
started bringing me around to it
397
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,360
a little.
More and my God we could not
398
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,000
have made a better fucking hire.
Like immediately getting
399
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,760
recruits in the door from our
goddamn area, immediately
400
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280
turning shit around.
He's going to bring half that
401
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,200
Penn State glass.
Like we're we're going to be
402
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,080
legit quickly he's.
Going to hit the portal.
403
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,280
This is awesome.
I've not been excited about
404
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,360
football for ages.
The closest we came.
405
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,600
With Have You Jeremy, Have you
renewed your season tickets yet?
406
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,320
You said what?
Have you renewed your season
407
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
tickets yet?
I renew them every year.
408
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,680
I've not got to go.
I usually just give them away to
409
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,200
everybody.
Yeah, I was going to say renew
410
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,240
one for me and let me have one.
He said renew 1 for me.
411
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Yeah, but I'm definitely going
to have to go next year, even
412
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,360
though I've got a second little
1 coming, which is yeah, you do
413
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,480
like it's hard to get the ball
games.
414
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,440
So I just I bought my tickets
and I tried to give them away to
415
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,920
whoever I.
Make sure you know at least
416
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,720
someone's enjoying them but.
I don't want to give a.
417
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,240
Spot up, so I keep.
Give it up, I'll give it up.
418
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Well, how about this?
We will in the spring.
419
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,280
We will pinpoint a date.
We'll try to get shelter there.
420
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,320
We'll try to get shelter there.
It's just tougher to get shelter
421
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,160
than us.
But we will pinpoint a date.
422
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,440
And then you will just tell your
wonderful wife, Emily, I'm going
423
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,840
to the game today and I'm going
to come back probably blacked
424
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,640
out.
Just an FYI.
425
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880
That's what we're.
Well, if we land far enough
426
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,360
ahead of time, you know, hey,
you're going to do this.
427
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,160
And she said no.
I kept telling you I was going
428
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,040
to do it.
So yeah, but Jeremy, appreciate
429
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,680
you jumping on Jeremy.
Circle your calendar sometime
430
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,280
next month, the state of the
program.
431
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,720
And it's going to be a really
fun episode because our buddy
432
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,320
Robbie just says.
Oh.
433
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,720
Baby but but good to see you

434
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,240
you all.
Jeremy Love.
435
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,160
You brother.
Oh man, from one all time
436
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,360
special guest to another all
time special guest.
437
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Dwight he is.
What's going on?
438
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080
You got the pot, you got the pot
we cooking.
439
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,880
No cooking tonight, man.
I may, I may save it.
440
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,840
I post it here.
I may bring it out.
441
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,880
I'm gonna wait till like we get
to the Season 1 when Franklin's
442
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,240
got the headset on and we we
playing somebody like Miami or
443
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,040
something or a big game.
I'm going to bring it out.
444
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,360
That's going to be my thing.
I'm going to do What's up,
445
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,080
fellas?
How we doing, Dwight?
446
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,320
Where is your feeling, Dwight?
I mean, you know.
447
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,440
You've been quiet, Dwight.
You have.
448
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480
Been and I hit you up yesterday
and I said Dwight, you know
449
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,360
we're going to go live.
We're going to let everybody on
450
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,240
tomorrow night, whoever again,
all y'all in the chat.
451
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,320
I saw Justin was in here and he
jumped out.
452
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,760
This is your time to speak and
Dwight didn't even tell you.
453
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,520
He knows he's going to be a
little long winded.
454
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,120
But even the white.
Last time, though, we can keep
455
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:23,120
it moving.
But the white.
456
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,400
You didn't say much when I
texted you.
457
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,560
You said all right, I'll.
I'll get in tomorrow night.
458
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Yeah.
The floor is yours.
459
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,560
You're feeling on this high.
First of all, when it's all said
460
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,840
and done, 10/15 years from now,
they're going to do a 30 for 30
461
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,440
on that, that boundary pointed
group chat.
462
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,000
We got that.
That's just that's off the hook
463
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,560
That that that gives me life
some days when I'm having a long
464
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,000
day.
So I also want to start off by
465
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040
saying I tweeted this early, but
I want to go on your part
466
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,600
because I know we got a lot of
viewers tonight.
467
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,880
Always got a lot of viewers.
Top podcast in the game.
468
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,360
I want to shout out coach Monty,
man, he inherited a mess that he
469
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,840
didn't create, but he's been
well focused on cleaning it up.
470
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,040
It's very difficult, man, when
you are working a job where you
471
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,720
don't know the certainty of your
position.
472
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,760
But he kept a lot of guys locked
in.
473
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520
He made some tough decisions.
He won a couple of games that we
474
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,760
probably won and won previously,
so I respect him immensely.
475
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,800
And those kids who bought in,
I've been purposely quiet about
476
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,960
it because I was thought you
guys know we're close and we're
477
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,600
in a chat.
I was getting fed up.
478
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,440
I understand the business side
of things, but I was just like I
479
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080
tweeted last week, you know
what, it might be time to move
480
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,520
on.
Even though I leaked it to y'all
481
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,680
months ago that I told y'all it
was going to be Franklin.
482
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,040
I, I mean, this is like I said
this to y'all before it was even
483
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,200
a buzz.
I said it's Franklin because it
484
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,880
makes sense.
And I just had a little bit of a
485
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,480
few insiders that would hit me.
But I'll say this man, when it
486
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,000
comes to Franklin, I don't know
him personally, but from afar, I
487
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,320
think there's been a few,
there's been a contingency of
488
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,640
tech fans that have been a
little delusional about what he
489
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,560
brings to the table.
And I know Shelton is always the
490
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,080
guy that hits us with the stats
and analytics, and I'm going to
491
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
let him cook with that.
But you talk about it, you talk
492
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,280
about a guy that was.
You know.
493
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,160
Top ten, top 12, top 15 program.
You know, you talking about
494
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,040
10/11/12 win seasons, you're
talking about tougher conference
495
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,720
when he's been a thorn in our
side recruiting wise.
496
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,160
He took Ricky Slade, junior from
Woodbridge High School, who was
497
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480
a five star running back up here
in Nova.
498
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,760
He also took Devon Ford, A4 star
running back that was here in
499
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Nova.
He took a lot of other guys that
500
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,440
were Virginia Tech leans or have
Virginia Tech in their top
501
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,400
three.
I think when it comes down to
502
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,200
it, you have instant credibility
where you have a coach that's
503
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,400
recognized in any high school in
the country, a guy that go into
504
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,720
a school and people are going to
want to take a picture with him
505
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,880
because he's, I don't want to
say a celebrity, but he's well
506
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,320
known.
He's got credibility.
507
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,640
He gives Virginia Tech's brand
that's taking a mighty hit back
508
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,200
to the Fuente and even prior,
especially with Fuente.
509
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600
He's giving Tech's brand instant
credibility when it comes to
510
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,960
recruiting.
On top of it, I don't think
511
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,560
people realize when it comes
down to winning championships,
512
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,160
national championships, how hard
it is, whether it's the old era,
513
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,480
the new era, but he's been
knocking on that door.
514
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840
People going to say, well, he
hasn't won and done it at
515
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,080
Virginia Tech.
Well, here's the thing.
516
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Virginia Tech has the culture,
has the atmosphere and has some
517
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160
talent.
To me, that issue has been
518
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,120
accountability, infrastructure
and having an identity on the
519
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,120
field.
Well, you know when you watch a
520
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,200
Penn State team coached by
Franklin, you know what kind of
521
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,080
identity they're going to have.
You also know what kind of team
522
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,000
you're going to get.
Also, what you're getting is the
523
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,240
coach that this is.
I'm a big fan of this.
524
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,080
You're getting a coach that
basically was disrespected and
525
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
basically, for the lack of a
better phrase, he was should
526
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,720
have done.
He got exiled from Penn State
527
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,800
and the rumors were that he lost
the locker room.
528
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
He couldn't win the big one.
That guy.
529
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,880
If you know Penn State players,
I have a linebacker I coached
530
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,480
when he was young.
He's there.
531
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,320
Marty Campbell, he starts for
Penn State.
532
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,560
He's one of the best linebackers
in the Big 10.
533
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
He's an NFL prospect.
You know the coaches love
534
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
coaching with him.
You could probably point out
535
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,760
flaws with every college coach,
but ultimately, I think what my
536
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120
God is going to bring is the guy
that has something to prove.
537
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,040
I think if he had one, maybe a
national championship or had
538
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,080
one, the game that, you know,
the Ohio State game where people
539
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,920
talk about you can't beat them
in Michigan.
540
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Here's the thing.
How many times in college
541
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,320
football, even in the NFL, have
we seen a coach come to a
542
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,920
situation where he's already
kind of plateaued or he's
543
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,160
already reached that pinnacle
And they they do just enough,
544
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,640
right?
Because they sit on their
545
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,040
laurels.
They rest on their laurels.
546
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Well, we saw his reaction on
game day where he said I'm just
547
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
going to go somewhere else and
win the national championship.
548
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,760
So this guy is extremely hungry
because he has a lot to prove
549
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,280
despite his last 10 years of
accomplishments.
550
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,760
People think that, and I'm glad
I told this to tally when he
551
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,880
mean and chopped it up earlier.
People think this is like a
552
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,640
situation where everybody's in
agreement.
553
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,320
There are a lot of pundits and
media guys that think this might
554
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,800
be a dud because people don't
understand Virginia Tech
555
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
football.
So like, for example, I've
556
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,280
constantly said this in our
group chat.
557
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,200
I've said this on your platform.
I tweeted this.
558
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Virginia Tech is still a great
job.
559
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Bruce Aaron said they
interviewed 20 coaches, and
560
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,720
that's not counting the guys
that they talked to that they
561
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,920
didn't bring in for an
interview.
562
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,520
So the brand is just taking a
huge boost.
563
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,640
I mean, it's great because
despite all that, you guys know
564
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760
I hate losing.
We are three and 17.
565
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,760
We're not going to a bowl game.
We're irrelevant.
566
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,560
We've been medioc mediocracy for
the last five or six years.
567
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
To me, I think he gets this
thing turned around.
568
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,160
But I'm going to be patient.
That's why I've been quiet.
569
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,080
I'm going to be cautiously
optimistic because I want to
570
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,680
make sure that the residue from
the last regime is I'm not
571
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,480
talking about the culture.
I'm talking about the culture.
572
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,800
I want to make sure the
infrastructure is ready, that we
573
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,320
can move into this house and
start cooking up a good meal
574
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,320
that includes the ingredients of
winning and accountability.
575
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,720
I will say this, Franklin will
hold those players accountable.
576
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,720
We have a meeting.
The football alumni.
577
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,000
He's not.
I told this to tell him, make
578
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,200
sure that's what you and your
listeners.
579
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,560
We have a Zoom meeting tomorrow
afternoon with James Franklin.
580
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480
I'm talking about me and also
your favorite all time Hokies, a
581
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,280
zoom meeting with Franklin.
I mean, respectfully, he doesn't
582
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,800
have to meet with us.
So they already this to me, this
583
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,400
has been probably in the works
and he he's been evaluating the
584
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,360
roster because no coach in their
right mind is going to take over
585
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
a program without evaluating the
roster.
586
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,200
He's been looking at the roster.
He's been watching games, but I
587
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,360
am not excited.
I'm I'm I'm happy.
588
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360
I'm happy because this makes
sense.
589
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440
I think it's a good match.
I feel like tech can really take
590
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,480
that necessary step.
And how about our fans, man?
591
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,880
How about us?
I mean, you talking about a fan
592
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,640
base that's been so patient
despite the hell and back that
593
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,640
we've experienced the the lies,
the mischievous decisions that
594
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,440
make no sense with personnel
groupings, the fact that this
595
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,800
program, the fan base deserves
better.
596
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,720
And I think Franklin gets that.
And I'm sure him and pride did
597
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,760
some texting, some talking.
They have history.
598
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
I I mean, this is a good
situation.
599
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,040
I mean, the recruiting, I can't,
I can't share with y'all enough
600
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,360
how much he's going to do when
it comes to recruiting.
601
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,760
So I'm extremely happy and I
like the fact that despite what
602
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,000
he's done, I'm repeating myself.
But just to put a bow on that
603
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,840
point, he has done a marvelous
job at Penn State, but none of
604
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,520
that counts no more because he
has to do a marvelous job at
605
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Tech.
And he wanted Vandy before Vandy
606
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,240
became what they are now.
He wanted Vandy.
607
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,400
He won 24 games and Vandy, he
did a great job there.
608
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,240
He went to Penn State at the
Zandusty and all of them were
609
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,480
doing some of the most egregious
acts to children in the history
610
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,440
of America.
He won there.
611
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,800
Nobody wanted to listen.
Let me remind y'all family,
612
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,960
nobody wanted that job.
Nobody wanted that Penn State
613
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,760
job.
When he took it, he walked in
614
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,400
there and was like, yo, I got
it.
615
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,120
And they became a great program.
His lowest rating recruiting
616
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,480
class is 24.
That's been one of our best
617
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,760
recruiting class in the last 17
years, right?
618
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,640
So again, I can cook all night
on this one man.
619
00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,080
But I like the fact that we got
a guy that is now a hokey but
620
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,920
doesn't have hokey ties.
He can come in and create new
621
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,160
memories, new expectations.
We can get rid of all the, you
622
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,120
know, back in my day, even
though I love what we did, I
623
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,920
want new expectations, new
memories, and I want new energy.
624
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,400
I want accountability and I want
wins, man.
625
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,639
I think we're going to get all
of that.
626
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:22,560
And I'm going to tell you right
now, I'm going to say this, man,
627
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,120
I'm going to let the next guest
come on.
628
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,880
Hey, look, bro, if he gets us to
that mountaintop, I'm going to
629
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,239
lose my mind.
I'm telling you, I'm taking off
630
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,920
work.
I'm not even talking about the
631
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,920
players.
I'm talking about because I, I
632
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,639
always hear the people, you
know, the Wahoos and the
633
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,800
Hurricanes and the trolling.
I get it.
634
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,400
We haven't gotten it yet.
I know we've had moments, but
635
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,320
nobody knows heartache like
Tech.
636
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,000
But I've seen the Red Sox win
it, I've seen the Cubs win it.
637
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,400
I saw the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It can happen, but a lot of
638
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,840
times you need that one guy.
But I just want us to be in the
639
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,520
moment.
I hope these guys, they're still
640
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,120
playing, understand that the
players, you're being evaluated
641
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,720
right now, you've been
evaluated.
642
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,320
So you still have two games left
in your career this season to
643
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,120
play.
So anyway, you guys keep coding
644
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120
it down, man.
I appreciate y'all man.
645
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,880
Appreciate it, Dwight.
We'll see you soon, man.
646
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,920
We appreciate that.
Thanks, Dwight.
647
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,960
Yes Sir, take care all.
Right.
648
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,800
We got somebody coming on, but
real quick, Shelton, drop the
649
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,760
what?
Everybody's been on the oh, he
650
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,040
can't win the top five games.
You got the stats, We got the
651
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,160
top.
We got drop those.
652
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,360
Can't don't leave.
Just give Sheldon the second to
653
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,880
preach for his stuff here.
Yeah.
654
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,400
So I mean, if you look at his
overall record against top five
655
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,680
teams, we'll say top ten, he was
4 and 21 overall, 161
656
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,000
percentage.
So obviously not great, but and
657
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,760
the caveat there is that he's
played a very high percentage of
658
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960
his ranked games against top
five teams.
659
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,040
And really it's more of a
Michigan, Ohio State problem
660
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,320
than it is like a a general
problem.
661
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,760
His record against teams ranked
11th through 25 is 13 and 11,
662
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,520
which is actually pretty good,
7th best among active head
663
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,760
coaches at the time he got
fired.
664
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,400
So really, if you take out the
top ten, he's been a pretty good
665
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,680
coach against ranked teams.
And again, I know you can't, you
666
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,240
know, just take out the losses.
But the same time I think what I
667
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,600
would say is that people are
probably over playing the top
668
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,840
ten thing a little bit like he's
four and three in major ball
669
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,560
games, two and one in the
playoffs.
670
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Like he could he can win.
He can still win games, man.
671
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,200
Like it's it's not like he's,
you know, completely
672
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,720
overmatched.
Just, you know, when he's
673
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,920
playing a good opponent.
Well, I'm sitting there and it's
674
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,960
and it was a decade where he
played both of those teams,
675
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,760
right?
Yeah.
676
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,440
I think, I think like of of
those 25, it's 18 or 19 is of
677
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,360
those two teams.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure like
678
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,000
Michigan and Ohio State alone
account for like 76% of his
679
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
ranked losses, something like
that.
680
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,440
So again, if you want to
criticize him for not being able
681
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,480
to beat those teams, that's
fair.
682
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,640
That's fine.
But one thing I will say to you
683
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,920
also is that Virgin and SEC does
not play those teams.
684
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,960
We will never play teams of that
caliber on a consistent basis
685
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,720
like you did at Penn State.
So we can talk about that too.
686
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,240
But yeah, how?
Many.
687
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,160
How many top five opponents are
we to face?
688
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,960
In a year?
Probably 0.
689
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,920
In most years, maybe 1. 1.
On our regular schedule, I mean.
690
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,880
It is what it is we got.
A couple in here we're going
691
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,000
we're going to start with Kent
Justin we got you in the in the
692
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,040
green room here tally what you
got hello I.
693
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,560
Was just saying I don't
understand how the and again, I
694
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,720
get it, they're having a
Goodyear.
695
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,960
The UVA fans keep hopping on
here throwing their two cents
696
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,280
in.
It don't matter who we put out.
697
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,280
I could be the coach and we
still beat them.
698
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,880
Like it don't matter who the
head coach is, they still lose.
699
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,880
They can have the better team,
they just don't know how to win.
700
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,160
So they try to throw this little
record out and oh, he doesn't
701
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,280
beat his rivals.
We going to beat y'all.
702
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,800
That's all y'all need to worry
about.
703
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Put that on the record.
Put the replace.
704
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,440
All right, let's get Ken in
here.
705
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,320
Kent, what's up?
How you doing tonight?
706
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Hey Brian, are you talking
southpaw from the day here like
707
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,560
I'm living in?
I'm from South Boston.
708
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
We both are.
Curtis is from South Boston.
709
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,840
Yeah, we we Halifax natives
through and.
710
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,720
Through I'm taking from
Scottsburg.
711
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Scottsburg, VA. 01 of our best
buddies on here.
712
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,360
Where is he?
Hold on.
713
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,080
I'll get his Robbie Compton
right there.
714
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,040
Scottsburg won the race.
Scottsburg love to helmet man to
715
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,240
Kent.
What'd you think of the Franklin
716
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:32,400
hire man?
Thank you.
717
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,240
It was great.
I'm the host of my I just got
718
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,880
done my podcast yesterday, the
Virginia Tech show.
719
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,000
If y'all familiar with it, we
talked about it about James
720
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,800
Franklin and I think James
Franklin's going to bring back a
721
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,120
five star recruit quarterback in
the future.
722
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:52,720
The last time we have 5 star
recruit quarterback was Tyrod
723
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,480
Taylor.
Before that was Marcus Vick and
724
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,040
I didn't know he's going to
bring all the recruiting back to
725
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,240
Virginia Tech.
That's what he's going to do.
726
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,560
Yeah, I'm, I'm excited for it.
I like, like you said, the
727
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,440
recruiting is, is something that
we're already starting to see a
728
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,680
little bit of the benefits from.
We starting to see some guys
729
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,200
that were already in that Penn
State class take, you know, sign
730
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,080
up for official visits at
Virginia Tech.
731
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,400
You got a couple crystal balls
going our way already.
732
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,960
So that's going to go, I think
pretty crazy as we kind of, you
733
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,920
know, go over the next month
towards signing day.
734
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,360
What are you most excited about?
You know, I know I've asked this
735
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,880
a couple other folks.
What are you excited about a
736
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,640
certain, you know, potential
assistant hire that he might be
737
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,400
bringing along with him?
Does anybody kind of you know
738
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,920
you got on your list right now?
I I haven't gone that far yet,
739
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,080
my friends.
I didn't think about anybody,
740
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,760
all right.
It's all.
741
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Good.
So overall excited for the
742
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,520
Halifax boys here.
This is this is how you going to
743
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,680
know We we we we're from where
you from Kent?
744
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,520
What Rd. you live off of?
James T Haggle Highway.
745
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,600
You live OK.
Good.
746
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,400
OK.
There we go every time.
747
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,040
I'll be.
I'll be travelling right down
748
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,680
360 on Friday night, heading to
Halifax to see some family for
749
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,040
the weekend.
But Kent, we appreciate your
750
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,760
time.
We got Justin in the green room.
751
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,280
Keep your show going, man.
Keep it hustling, OK?
752
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,480
OK.
Thank you for joining, Kent.
753
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,440
All right, Justin, we had your
own earlier.
754
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,720
We you had some had some
shenanigans in the background.
755
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,800
Hold on, Justin, first of all,
we're going to tell you
756
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,720
something.
It it's not going to bother
757
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:31,160
anybody on this program that
your kids are running screaming
758
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,120
in the background.
You are on mute by the way, FYI,
759
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,280
get that straightened out before
you start talking.
760
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,840
There we go.
There you go.
761
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,640
It will not bother us currently
on this.
762
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,600
Shelton is not a father.
The rest of us, we got 6
763
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,760
combined.
It ain't going to bother us.
764
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,960
My teenagers, so they they can
get.
765
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,880
I got a teenager too.
He was in the other room
766
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,840
watching the CFP rankings.
But what do you think, man?
767
00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Honestly, I was, I thought this
was pretty much where we were
768
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:05,800
going weeks ago.
I have a contact who's who's got
769
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,800
a friend with somebody there in
Blacksburg who who kind of had
770
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,400
had alluded that that back
before November started that
771
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,280
that Franklin's probably going
to be the the coach.
772
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,120
But then I got a little bit
nervous when I started seeing
773
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,920
all the stuff on Twitter.
I wasn't sure if the deal was
774
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,640
going to fall through, if Sexton
was going to screw it up.
775
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,320
Wasn't really sure.
Now I'm starting to believe that
776
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,080
maybe they were.
That was just a bunch of smoke
777
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,400
to keep people off, off, off
kilter.
778
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,520
Because when he showed up down
there in Norfolk on the
779
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,720
sideline, the ODU, I was like,
OK, it's a done deal now.
780
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,320
He's down there either
recruiting a coach, recruiting a
781
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,080
quarterback or both.
There we go.
782
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,600
As far as like assistance, man,
I really want to know what his
783
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,720
staff's going to look like.
I'm curious if he's going to
784
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,520
keep anybody from the existing
staff.
785
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,960
I figure Fontelle, he tried to
take him from us a couple years
786
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,920
ago.
So yeah, I figure he's probably
787
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,920
going to try to keep Fontelle
there, yeah.
788
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,360
I mean a lot.
Of people I'd like to see him
789
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,120
keep.
Ferg, to be honest with you, I.
790
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,720
Think that might be 1.
He just keeps regardless because
791
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,720
it is extremely tough to flip
over a program because if they
792
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,560
if he comes and brings his own
guy, that's going to be 3
793
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,640
consecutive years of different
strength and condition coaches.
794
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,600
Yeah, I think year 1, I don't
think there's no change.
795
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,920
I I really don't know that
piece.
796
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,120
And you're talking about
Fontell.
797
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:33,320
Yes, without a doubt.
But I think they're tally said
798
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,000
it a few weeks ago.
Elijah Brooks.
799
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,360
Don't sleep on it.
I mean, ties up in I mean
800
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,120
demathetized DMV ties.
It would not shock me if he kept
801
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,880
him.
But if if if he comes in, you
802
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,720
know, I'm gonna just say this.
I love Xavier DVI, love JC
803
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:52,960
Price.
I love Pierce and Prelo.
804
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560
I watched all three of those
guys play in my life.
805
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,400
If he comes in and it is nobody
left, I'm not going to be upset.
806
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:06,080
No, I mean.
It's a show and I like I like I
807
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,080
like the way Dwight put it
earlier is is he doesn't have
808
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,240
any ties to tech.
But I watched this how he spoke
809
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:18,800
to the board of visitors today.
He's done his homework, so he
810
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,560
knows the school.
He.
811
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,400
Obviously knows the footprint
and we've seen what he's done at
812
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,760
two programs where he's built
them up from the from the rock
813
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
bottom and I feel like that's
exactly what he's going to do in
814
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Blacksburg.
But I'm looking forward to it.
815
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,520
I, I think it's, it's, it's
crazy because I mean, he's, he,
816
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,400
I think he's, he's doing the
right things and he seem, he
817
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,520
seems really hungry to prove
himself again, which is crazy
818
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,320
for someone that has had the run
he's had at, at Vanderbilt and
819
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,240
then Penn State for, you know,
over a decade at this point.
820
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,040
That still feels like they got
something to prove.
821
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,360
I, I mean, I know when he got to
Penn State, he said the goal is
822
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,160
to win a national championship.
And now he says he's going to
823
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,960
win it somewhere else and that
that place that he's working on
824
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,960
it now is Blacksburg.
When when we talk about like the
825
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,760
guys that he might keep.
I know we, you know, we talked
826
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,600
about Brooks, we talked about
Ferg Fontell, you know, on on
827
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,280
the defensive side, JC Price is
probably the only one I've got
828
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,640
circled.
It's like that's that's somebody
829
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,800
that you consider.
I feel like everybody else is
830
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,880
probably going to be somebody
brand new coming in there just
831
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:28,280
because I don't think we saw
enough out of the other units,
832
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,280
you know, over the course of a
prize regime where you can
833
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,320
really make a case there.
Speaking outside of that,
834
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,800
Justin, I know I've asked this
about you.
835
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,560
Have some other folks you got
anybody circled kind of outside
836
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,040
of Virginia Tech that you'd like
to see come on board with
837
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,760
Franklin?
I don't really know his coaching
838
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,440
tree well enough to really
speak.
839
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,320
To that other than.
I.
840
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,960
Do like Ricky Ronnie man.
I don't know if they can get him
841
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,360
out of the ODU.
But he's got that system working
842
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,040
down there.
And I feel like they they have
843
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,280
a, a decent offense.
I mean, look at what they did to
844
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,000
us this year.
Yeah.
845
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,360
And you know.
I think he's.
846
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,680
That would be about the only one
I'm really want to know.
847
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,000
I really do want to know who
he's looking at for defensive
848
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,920
coordinator.
This can be interesting.
849
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,280
I'm gonna make a 2 point Ricky
Ronnie go look back at 18 and
850
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,760
19.
Other than the Joe Moorhead
851
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,040
years, Ricky Ronnie was his best
OC at Penn State.
852
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,560
His best OC in in 1919 was the
big, big year 19.
853
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,360
They went 11 and two.
I think the only loss was to
854
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,240
Ohio State and somebody else.
But the other thing about that,
855
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,920
and I was mentioning to the boys
here before we jumped on Ricky,
856
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,520
Ronnie makes $860,000.
I don't think ODU has the budget
857
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:43,760
to get him above like 1.3.
And I think we're going to
858
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,000
probably be in the neighborhood
of close to 2 and Ricky's going
859
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,800
to have a decision to make.
He's having a great year.
860
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,360
His stock is up.
It's ODU though.
861
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,120
If he falls flat next year, he
has no shot at getting AP4
862
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,200
coaching gig.
He doesn't and Joseph's leaving
863
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,080
that he's gone.
He's gone.
864
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Yeah, you're 1000% right.
Whether he comes to Blacksburg
865
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,480
or somewhere else, that kids
gone.
866
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:13,360
But what Ricky could do, If
Ricky comes here and we go nine
867
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,440
and three next year, he's going
to get AP4 job because
868
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,240
everybody's going to be like,
look what he did at ODU for a
869
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:21,160
couple years.
Look what he just did here.
870
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,120
He's going to get a job.
Justin, we got Cokie, Chris
871
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,120
waiting in the waiting room.
Anything else you want to hit us
872
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,400
with before you drop off here
tonight, man?
873
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,320
No, just I'm really looking
forward to it.
874
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,480
I think it's going to be a fun
spring and go Hokies.
875
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Appreciate it.
Thank you, Jeff, for listening,
876
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:38,680
man.
Take care.
877
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,720
And he was first and he was
first.
878
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,440
Everybody's first.
Take care, man.
879
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,840
Chris, what's going on tonight?
How you feel?
880
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,600
What's up guys?
Can you hear me?
881
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,160
I got you.
What's happening?
882
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,440
First time, long time watcher,
first time I guess caller.
883
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Is that how you say?
That's what it is.
884
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,320
Oh, is this B Chris?
Is this?
885
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,840
This is me buddy, how you doing?
Good man, how you doing?
886
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,560
This is D crip I.
Got a story?
887
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,560
I got some stories I could tell
you about James Franklin and
888
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,880
Penn State, so I'm going to
give.
889
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,280
You some hey, before you before
you get started, Chris.
890
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,360
The reason I said D Chris,
because I met Chris on on on X
891
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,240
so maybe a couple of weeks ago.
And you know how people just
892
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,840
throw stuff out, right?
And you know how I am like I
893
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,440
like trolling.
So I'm like, you don't know this
894
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,760
man.
You don't know him personally.
895
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,000
He's like, yeah, I do.
I don't want to throw all your
896
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,560
business out, but I was like,
OK, well, if you are that close
897
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,760
to him, send me a picture.
He posts a picture of everything
898
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,920
he's saying.
I'm like, oh, OK, well, let me
899
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,840
be quiet and listen to this guy.
So, yeah, go ahead, Chris.
900
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,560
So fall 20, I'll get a little
bit history.
901
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,240
Now, fall 2015, I moved to State
College from Virginia.
902
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,040
I'm a pastor actually, believe
it or not.
903
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,040
So, so there's a truthful,
honest story about you you're
904
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,960
about to hear.
OK, so I'm a huge college level
905
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,440
fan.
I'm a hokey alum.
906
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,880
My son just graduated from
Virginia Tech as well.
907
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,240
So I'm a big fan.
I go to, I would go to games 3-4
908
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:05,560
times a year, Pennsylvania,
Minnesota, where I lived at any
909
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,960
time.
So I'm living in a little bit of
910
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,120
their fall 2015 and 16.
I went to several games,
911
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,440
including their big ups that
went over House State.
912
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,440
I was in the stadium for the
whiteout and all that kind of
913
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,600
good stuff.
And so the next year they're
914
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,800
looking for security for at
Beaver Stadium.
915
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,280
So I apply and I get accepted
and I just want to be around
916
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,960
college football and I can't get
to Blacksburg living in State
917
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,240
College very often.
So I, I, I report the first day
918
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,240
for duty, get trained, all that
kind of good stuff.
919
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:38,080
And they put me in the, in the,
what's called the South end zone
920
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,560
in the locker room area.
And because of my age and
921
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,920
because of what I do for a
living, they said we want you to
922
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,800
be locker room door guy at for
Penn State.
923
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,520
So this is a guy who who checks
credentials to make sure that
924
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,920
only credential people is
allowed to go in their very, I
925
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,400
would say secretive locker room.
Like I couldn't even go in.
926
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,320
I could see in, but I couldn't
even go in anyway.
927
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,200
So Long story short, they want
somebody who's trusted, somebody
928
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,120
they can get to know.
So I'm there and I was, I worked
929
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,640
the first four games.
So this is going to be a funny
930
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,800
story, OK.
I worked first four games and
931
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,720
got to know all the guys.
And the only, the only coach
932
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:18,960
slash player in 2017 that got to
remember who I was after four
933
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,760
games was actually a guy by the
name of Deege.
934
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,840
Do you all know who Deege is?
Yeah, that's the white.
935
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,560
Vault was the nicest guy by far
I met and so he used to be our
936
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,120
strength and conditioning coach
in Blacksburg obviously until
937
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,840
last year I think right Ferguson
took over.
938
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,320
Anyway.
So anyway, Long story short, I
939
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,600
would have to stay though after
the games until everyone cleared
940
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,120
our locker room and James Franco
was always the last one to
941
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,120
leave.
So he would come out and Monica
942
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,760
would come out with a Monica is
was a short GAO who was a
943
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,400
security officer.
You always saw her whenever you
944
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,760
saw him on the field.
So I got to know her a little
945
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,640
bit too.
And but anyway, after the 4th
946
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,080
game though, I asked to take
their next game off, which
947
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,560
against Indiana because Virginia
Tech the same day had a huge
948
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,440
game.
So quiz question, who was
949
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,800
Virginia Tech playing?
I think it was the end of
950
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,600
September 2017.
Any any guesses?
951
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:21,320
In 2017, I mean 17, if you said
it was October 2017, that would
952
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,440
have been.
September 30th.
953
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,360
It was like the last day of
September.
954
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,800
I I drove the blacks because I
could not meet, don't miss the
955
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,840
number one Clemson in
Blacksburg.
956
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,480
So I couldn't.
Miss No, No, That was October.
957
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,840
That was October of 20.
October.
958
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,480
OK.
October.
959
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,120
Of October 20, it was the last
time we had game day on.
960
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,920
Campus.
So OK, the story gets really
961
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,800
good now.
So I go to I go to the Clemson
962
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,680
game.
I miss my assignment to work the
963
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,240
lock room door there at Penn
State.
964
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,440
And so the next game back, I go
to the next game and I'm merely
965
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,400
assigned again in South end
zone.
966
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,440
But now I'm not on the locker
room door.
967
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,200
And I'm like, why is this, I
wonder?
968
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,520
So I lost my assignment.
I'm in the general area.
969
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,560
And if you know anything about
Beaver Stadium, they have to
970
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,200
have security a lot around the
locker room because because you
971
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,040
can, if you've been to Beaver,
you can walk around very close
972
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,160
to where the locker room is.
You actually can stand and watch
973
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,760
the team walk in and out.
I mean, you're right there when
974
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,760
the team comes into that area.
So I was like, why I I was
975
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,120
wondering, why did I get
reassigned?
976
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,280
Well, my supervisor comes up to
me.
977
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,080
This risk story gets funny.
He says, listen, you got
978
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,200
reassigned because you went to
Virginia.
979
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,520
Tech.
And I'm like, what?
980
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,880
And, and he said, he said Andy
Frank, now Andy Frank is a name
981
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,600
you're going to get to know.
Andy Frank was a is the director
982
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,280
of football operations at Penn
State currently, I guess.
983
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,960
Well, he might be the director
of football operations, the new
984
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,720
role at Virginia Tech, I guess
GM or whatever at Virginia Tech
985
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,200
with James.
So when he found out I went to
986
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,000
Virginia Tech and I went to the
game instead, he said this is
987
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,360
what this is how the story ends.
He said, I don't want anyone
988
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,360
from Virginia Tech anywhere near
the locker room door.
989
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,000
So that's what he's like.
So for me, I was like, oh, so I
990
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,200
I stayed the rest of the season.
My last game I worked was a
991
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,440
whiteout.
It was kind of fun.
992
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,840
I'll end the story with this way
and say I got, I said, listen,
993
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,000
can I just work on the field one
game?
994
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,720
And so I worked the whiteout
against Michigan and that was
995
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:21,760
the game where Saquon ran like 3
touchdowns, ran right at me and
996
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,760
all this kind of stuff.
But, but I, I tell people all
997
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,240
the time, I'll finish with this.
I'll tell people all the time.
998
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,480
I say, listen, I've been on the
field for a whiteout.
999
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,840
I've been in the stands for a
whiteout.
1000
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,800
I worked at Beaver.
I've been to 4050 games at Wayne
1001
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,800
Stadium, Lane Stadium with
40,000 less people is louder.
1002
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,280
And they always say they, they
always say, no, that's
1003
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,560
impossible.
No, that's impossible.
1004
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,120
I tell them it, it's not about
fan support, it's not about
1005
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,440
passion.
It's simple architecture.
1006
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:51,280
It's the way the stadiums are
built.
1007
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,360
Lane Stadium is louder for
Anderson and then the run out
1008
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,480
for Penn State, what they do and
it's a great environment,
1009
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,760
obviously if you ever get a
chance to go.
1010
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,320
But I wanted to share that story
with you.
1011
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,960
I offered that to Tally and I
said I wanted to share that
1012
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,840
story with you because for me,
for me, you're you're probably
1013
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,000
going to ask what I think.
I was not excited about the hire
1014
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,440
because I got to know him a
little bit.
1015
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,600
He is a very passionate guy.
He is very much about James
1016
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,480
Franklin, but he I think he's
going to do a great job, Don't
1017
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,800
get me wrong, But I, it's
warming up on me.
1018
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,000
I've been, I watched Josh Pate
last night and I got really
1019
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,040
excited after watching Pate
because Pate was so excited
1020
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,280
about this hire for us.
So anyway, so that's my story.
1021
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,320
I'll get off, let other people
talk.
1022
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:38,240
Let me ask you one question
before I let you go here, Chris.
1023
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,240
Since you were around State
College a lot, did you ever come
1024
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,840
across Keith Goon Conlon while
you were up there?
1025
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,800
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
1026
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,120
I mean, I didn't, I didn't meet
him, but I knew of him.
1027
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,360
Yeah.
So he would have.
1028
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,080
I think he would be on like a
local television show every week
1029
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,360
after the game on Sunday nights.
I used to watch that all the
1030
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,120
time.
So but watching, you know, some
1031
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,640
of the Penn State folks the last
24 hours or so has been
1032
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,560
interesting.
I think many of them are
1033
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,360
actually scared and they won't
say so, but they're really
1034
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,360
worried about what what we might
do in terms of taking some of
1035
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,320
their current players and such.
And their coaches too, I think.
1036
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,520
I think they've got like a tight
ends coach who they really want
1037
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,080
to keep bad.
I think he's from North Carolina
1038
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,040
or something like that.
Great recruiter here in in
1039
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,080
Virginia.
So they really want him bad.
1040
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,840
And another thing too, you
mentioned Joe Morehead.
1041
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,000
My son played on the same
baseball team with Joe
1042
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,320
Morehead's son.
So I got to know and meet Joe
1043
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,280
Morehead too.
Great guy, great offensive mind.
1044
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,800
He'd be a great hire for an
offensive coordinator, no doubt.
1045
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,840
So anyway, yeah.
Him and Ronnie did.
1046
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,480
A small world just give you a
couple stories.
1047
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,160
Oh yeah.
Well, it's crazy how small of a
1048
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,440
world and like all the circles
that you kind of come across and
1049
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,680
things like that.
So yeah.
1050
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,840
But so.
But Chris, you're not the first
1051
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,760
person I've ever heard that say
that Lane's louder than Beaver.
1052
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,960
Oh, yeah.
A girl went to college with her
1053
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,160
parents were Penn State alums,
and she'd been to both stadiums.
1054
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,760
And I can remember her saying
she's like, Lane is so much
1055
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,200
louder.
Like, she's like, I can't hear
1056
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,240
myself think inside there.
She's like a Beaver.
1057
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,360
You can have a conversation.
Like, you can't do that at Lane.
1058
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,320
I'm like, thank you.
Yeah, all those people that say
1059
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,920
that.
I could tell you some other
1060
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,400
stories about Penn State and
things like that, but I won't I
1061
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920
won't take of your off, but but
for me, I want to share a story
1062
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,600
and Ioffer that the tally,
because for me it showed a few
1063
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,720
things.
Number one, they are extremely
1064
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,880
loyal, devoted, both Frank and
Franklin.
1065
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,800
They really are.
And I think they're going to do
1066
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:37,800
a great job.
They're going to be very
1067
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,720
passionate and they're going to
be very devoted to blacks for
1068
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,960
even though they're not, you
know, Virginia Tech guys, so to
1069
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,080
speak.
But they are now and I think
1070
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,680
they're going to do a great job.
So I'm warming up to it.
1071
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,160
I really am.
But anyway, just just some
1072
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,880
stories behind the scenes a
little bit.
1073
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,400
That's all we.
Appreciate it man.
1074
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:58,760
No problem guys.
Take care, man.
1075
00:55:59,000 --> 00:55:59,640
You too.
Bye bye.
1076
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:07,000
Look who we got next, Robbie
Compton.
1077
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,320
What's going on?
Brother, how's it going?
1078
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,920
Oh man, it's it's.
A fun night, man.
1079
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,640
It's it's going to be a couple
of days I think on our side
1080
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,520
getting getting excited about
some things.
1081
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,200
I think it's going to be a good
thing.
1082
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,880
I'm interested to see where it
goes from here, what kind of
1083
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:32,920
coaches he brings in, who they
get in that so-called general
1084
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,680
manager position.
That's going to help him out and
1085
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,640
break things up and we'll see
how it goes.
1086
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,680
I'm excited about what the
future may hold.
1087
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:44,120
Robbie, you have been in the
Robbie you'd have been in the
1088
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,320
room with a lot of coaches.
Have you ever been in the room
1089
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,760
with Franklin?
Any kind of coaching?
1090
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,880
Coaching.
I heard he.
1091
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,680
Workshops years ago at an AFCA
conference when he was at
1092
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:02,040
Vanderbilt.
Actually, I think he he's very,
1093
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,480
he's very passionate about what
he does.
1094
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:09,360
He's very passionate about the
game and and teaching, teaching
1095
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,200
young men the game in that way.
And I'm sure that's only grown
1096
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,520
over the years since then.
I, I'm trying to even think of
1097
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,240
what year that was when I saw
him.
1098
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,360
I was probably still coaching in
Halifax.
1099
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,680
So it was probably back before
2012.
1100
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,200
So it was in the.
I like his first year.
1101
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,760
I've been his first year at
Vanderbilt.
1102
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,160
Then it might have been but he,
he.
1103
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:39,840
He's.
A.
1104
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,080
He's a brilliant 9 in the game
and and a heck of a recruiter so
1105
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,120
it's definitely going to be a
good thing.
1106
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,520
So let let me ask this Robbie,
because you, I mean, like I got
1107
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,360
all these names the people are
mentioning names left and right.
1108
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,720
Any assistant coaches like as
you again, you've watched Penn
1109
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,280
State, you, you your your your
head football coach definitely
1110
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,120
familiar with Penn State.
Absolutely.
1111
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:12,840
Is there anybody like one person
out there you say if he brings
1112
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,200
that assistant to Blacksburg,
watch out.
1113
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,040
I like, I really think
Poindexter is one of the top
1114
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,920
names that that you're going to
hear here in the next several
1115
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,880
weeks.
He's got that.
1116
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,400
He's got the ties to Virginia.
It was a thing that a lot of
1117
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,840
people threw out and wanted to
try to pull off and get him out
1118
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,320
of there.
They don't, you know, in
1119
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,720
Blacksburg before, even though
he spent some time at that other
1120
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:42,840
place in Virginia.
That that's going to be a name
1121
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,560
you're going to hear, I think,
and I don't think that's a bad
1122
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,480
thing at all because we're going
to have good recruiting ties
1123
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,440
around the area.
I think that was a big part of
1124
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,640
what helped bring some of those
Virginia guys to Penn State as
1125
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,800
it was.
Again, like somebody had said
1126
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,520
earlier, I think you're going
to, I think of the coaches that
1127
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,600
are still there now, I think.
Coach minds will be one that
1128
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,880
you'll continue to hear possibly
sticking around.
1129
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,400
He was a guy that, you know,
he's probably got a pretty
1130
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,280
decent relationship with
Poindexter anyway.
1131
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,440
And it it was a name that that
you had heard in circles of
1132
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,320
trying to get him to come to
Penn State anyhow.
1133
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,040
So I mean, I think their
relationship is there and those
1134
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,400
things.
So I mean, I think those are
1135
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,360
two.
Names that you're going to hear
1136
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,800
a lot about.
He's probably got multiple
1137
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,640
options of people willing to to
make moves and get ready for the
1138
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,120
offensive coordinator position,
things like that.
1139
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,720
So.
It's just going to be a wait and
1140
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,680
see game.
I'm sure he's probably already
1141
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,240
talked to more than a few people
about getting things together.
1142
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,240
So see how it falls in.
Can I ask your opinion?
1143
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,920
And, and you heard me, Mitch, I
don't know if you were listening
1144
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:01,320
when I talked about Ricky,
Ronnie.
1145
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,480
What?
If you're Ricky, Ronnie, do you
1146
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,600
try to stick it one more year at
ODU?
1147
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:11,040
But if James offers you the OC,
double your pay, you bring
1148
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,600
Colton Joseph, you run your show
up at Tech, what?
1149
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,040
What do you do?
Because everybody's like, well,
1150
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,480
that's a demotion.
But I keep making the point, if
1151
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,000
he still has a step back here at
ODU, is he ever going to be
1152
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,680
considered for the next level
job?
1153
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,920
Yeah, that I don't look at it as
AD motion.
1154
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:38,160
You're going from, you're going
from ODU to a top end position
1155
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:44,000
in the Power 14 and you, I mean
it's more of a lateral move in
1156
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,960
my mind to some ways and I know.
People will have some things to
1157
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,880
say about that.
Well, ODU with tech this year
1158
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,160
that that whatever.
I mean, the bottom line is, the
1159
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,960
way the system is set up, this
is not a.
1160
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:04,920
They're not on equal ground.
I mean, program wise they're
1161
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,240
not.
But we're going, we're going
1162
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,600
Straw Hat Turkey.
The five of us sitting here are
1163
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,480
circling this and writing it
down.
1164
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,080
So you better not hope
Poindexter doesn't show up in
1165
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,480
Blacksburg.
Yeah, I mean, all right.
1166
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,400
I mean, Fontelle Bynes was a big
UVA guy too, but you know that
1167
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,000
didn't.
That didn't stop him from taking
1168
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,920
the wide receiver role at
Virginia Tech.
1169
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,520
So.
Listen carefully.
1170
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:40,360
Money talks, business talks.
We're we're in a game of
1171
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,280
business.
You can be from where you want
1172
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,760
to be.
The game talks.
1173
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:50,040
When you got the opportunity to
continue your livelihood, any
1174
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,440
things you do, it's a lot
different.
1175
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,000
I've been a Washington fan since
I could walk and talk if.
1176
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,560
The Dallas Cowboys called me
right now and offered me a job.
1177
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,200
Or just as proud as you can see
it.
1178
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,600
I don't give a damn where he
went to college.
1179
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,800
Hey, hey, Robbie, I know we're
going to let you run here in a
1180
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,000
second, but I was prepared.
I.
1181
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:15,880
Go to bed, I got to teach
tomorrow.
1182
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,160
I know I was prepared for a Wing
T offense.
1183
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,760
Man, you kiss from your end.
Robbie and his team made it to
1184
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,880
the playoffs this year down in
North Carolina. 2A and
1185
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,360
unfortunately for Robbie, a
Yeah, you all have 3A.
1186
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,200
Yeah, unfortunately for Robbie,
he had to play one of the best
1187
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,360
Wing T scores.
Terrible.
1188
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,320
Not a fan of the Wing T?
What?
1189
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:45,600
What?
What did they do to you?
1190
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:47,960
What was?
That.
1191
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:54,240
They, they bellied us to death
and and found a much smaller
1192
01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:00,280
outside backer defensive end kid
that I had and they just doubled
1193
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,400
him, kicked it out and rolled
right under it to the point
1194
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:08,520
where he, some of our backers
decided to well, if I kind of
1195
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,120
roll around the edge, maybe they
won't catch me.
1196
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,960
Yeah, that they creased it even
more so it is what it is.
1197
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,840
Got to take the licks and move
on.
1198
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,600
Do it again next year.
Learn from it and and do
1199
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,760
something different afterwards.
We'll see what day I'll look at
1200
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,320
my roster and see what I have
left and we'll build what we
1201
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:35,360
need to from there.
There you go and you same thing.
1202
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,800
We don't know when yet.
In December, circle the
1203
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,240
calendar, stay the program.
It's going to be fun this year.
1204
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:42,400
I'm.
I'm going to be ready.
1205
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,160
You going to be ready?
You sure?
1206
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,520
Two years ago you were way too
ready.
1207
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:52,240
Yeah.
Whether or not whether I'm here
1208
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,000
in Wilkesboro or whether I'm in
Halifax, whatever it takes, I'm
1209
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,440
going to find a way.
There we go.
1210
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,880
Hi, brother.
The drinks will be flowing the
1211
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,000
so with the curse words.
It'll it'll be a good time.
1212
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,080
Yeah, especially with the with
the with the doctor, when he
1213
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,320
comes in, we're in trouble.
Oh, yeah, we're always in
1214
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,000
trouble with the doctor.
That's right.
1215
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,120
Appreciate it.
Robbie I.
1216
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,480
Appreciate you guys.
See you, Robbie.
1217
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,160
We rolling up in here.
We rolling.
1218
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,720
I see a lot of people putting
stuff in the chat, but they
1219
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,000
don't want to come on, call them
out that what's oh, there we go.
1220
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,440
I think Tim wants to come on,
let Brian throw that in for you.
1221
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,320
Tib get you in here.
Shelton, anything else you've
1222
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,560
discovered while doing all of
this?
1223
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,160
Does he have, did you go into
any like offensive, defensive
1224
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,560
tendencies, things like that or
are you strictly looking at more
1225
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,360
games, one games loss, etcetera,
etcetera?
1226
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,160
Yeah, more so ladder.
I mean, you could dig into the
1227
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,280
film.
It'd probably take forever.
1228
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,280
I just don't have the time.
But I will say, like I was
1229
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,960
saying, you know, I think the
big knock on Franklin was
1230
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,240
quarterback development.
You know, and again, like I
1231
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:06,040
talked about earlier, I think
that Drew Aller just it just
1232
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,960
didn't really work schematically
for them this year.
1233
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,680
I know they had some regressions
on the online that receiver.
1234
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,240
You know, it's like I feel like
after that organ loss team kind
1235
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,960
of just, you know, didn't, I
wouldn't say quit, but they kind
1236
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,840
of just faded a little bit.
They weren't giving as much
1237
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,040
effort as probably they should
have been.
1238
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,640
So I think for Franklin, you
know, the big thing is just, you
1239
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,320
know, who he's going to surround
himself with.
1240
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,440
This isn't wise, especially at
on the opposite side of the
1241
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,000
ball.
And just, you know, how can they
1242
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,040
how can they get the most out of
out of the quarterbacks that
1243
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:33,840
they have?
Because, you know, I think that
1244
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,960
was that was a big reason, in my
opinion, that was a big reason
1245
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,280
that Penn State kind of
struggled to win those big games
1246
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,920
is that they just didn't have
that high level quarterback
1247
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:43,280
play.
They were kind of, you know,
1248
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:44,800
limited there.
I think they had more kind of
1249
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:49,400
like game manager types and so
you know, but hopefully,
1250
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,000
hopefully that can change and
recruit a couple studies regard.
1251
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,760
I mean, we've got some some some
juicy looking recruits on the on
1252
01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:00,080
the trail here with with all
these DE commitments and some
1253
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,760
buzz about guys going to BT.
So I'm excited about that.
1254
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,360
Yeah, guys, we got, we got guys
coming in.
1255
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,240
You know, you're already seeing
like those visits pop up now.
1256
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,760
You know, we got really some big
names in that Penn State class
1257
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,240
that are you looking at Virginia
Tech, you got some official
1258
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,960
visits locked in.
I think, you know, you're going
1259
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,360
to start seeing some of those
dominoes start to fall in our
1260
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,960
direction.
And and you know, to the point
1261
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,480
that that Chris was making, I
think, you know, Penn State is a
1262
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,360
little bit worried about that.
Obviously they've got, you know,
1263
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,520
some work left to do with who
they're going to bring in, who
1264
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,080
they're going to hire.
You know, things may shift as as
1265
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,760
that kind of comes to fruition,
but I know a lot of these
1266
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,880
players, you know, committed to
James Franklin.
1267
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,080
So I think there's going to take
a whole lot of of effort from
1268
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:53,240
the new guy to to kind of keep
that from happening.
1269
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,680
So I think a lot of those guys
are going to head towards tech.
1270
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,480
Well, I want to throw this up
Gray Cat through this a little
1271
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,240
while ago, and I didn't again.
It's tougher to follow high
1272
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:07,400
school recruiting the days of
the portal, but that's insane.
1273
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,520
That's insane to have that many
guys.
1274
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:18,160
That's crazy.
I mean, but it also tells you
1275
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,800
potentially how he recruits and
what he sells, that it's not
1276
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,400
just the place, it's effectively
what you're doing and what he's
1277
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,160
doing.
Looking back those years, kind
1278
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,320
of who's been the quarterbacks,
Trace Mcsorley, Sean Clifford,
1279
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:39,640
you know, Alar, it's never been
a household name, although Trace
1280
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:44,040
Mcsorley, that was probably his
best quarterback at his time at
1281
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,280
Penn State.
And I was talking with a guy
1282
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,560
from work today and Trace
Mcsorley made it as a backup for
1283
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,160
about what, 7-8 years in the
NFL, something like that, right?
1284
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,160
And you can tell me whichever
you want to tell me.
1285
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,760
If you tell me the next guy and
the first guy he brought in was
1286
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,640
going to be a backup for 10
years in the NFL, give me that
1287
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,720
guy.
Because if you tell me it's a
1288
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,440
backup in the NFL, then they've
got something special because
1289
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,760
they keep hanging around.
And if they are a backup in the
1290
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,439
NFL, they're likely going to be
an elite college quarterback.
1291
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,160
And just start thinking about
who your backups are on your
1292
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,240
teams.
Well, maybe not Tally.
1293
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,359
Sorry, Tally.
I don't know who your backup is.
1294
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,600
But like, for example, I'm a
Niners fan, it's Matt Jones.
1295
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,399
Will Levis.
OK, Will Levis for wait.
1296
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:39,000
Will Levis was one power Penn
State, but that is going to be a
1297
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,560
key.
And the funny part is if you
1298
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:48,359
actually think about it in his
time at Penn State and then our
1299
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:54,399
time just in the last decade
we've had, and this is crazy to
1300
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:58,920
say, would you all say that
we've had just as many high
1301
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,279
potential quarterbacks as he's
had?
1302
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,120
I mean, think about it.
Is Trace Mcsoy the new LAR?
1303
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:11,760
Is that who you put is the #2
And think about who we had
1304
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,399
Jerrod Evans and then go to
Hindon.
1305
01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:19,760
Yeah.
Not a jump, yeah, I mean.
1306
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,040
When you look at the output, I
mean, they definitely, they,
1307
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,319
they got something out of that.
I think you know, when they've
1308
01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:29,000
had elite wide receivers,
they've looked like a different,
1309
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,279
different team.
So you know, how much of this is
1310
01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:36,520
tied to some of the wide
receiver room, things like that.
1311
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,120
So that that's an interesting
thing that we can look at as as
1312
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,880
as recruiting starts to take
shape.
1313
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,640
And you know why somebody like
Fontelle Mines would be a good
1314
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,560
person to hang on to on that
front, not not only from a
1315
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,200
recruiting standpoint, but you
know, from from some of the wide
1316
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:54,160
receiver standpoint as well.
Just want to throw it out there.
1317
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,280
We'll probably get try to get
one or two more on here before
1318
01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:00,840
we move on to to our next step
here, but through AQR code up
1319
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,520
there.
If you want to hit hit that
1320
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,240
that'll let you join the stream
here.
1321
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:10,800
So try to get one or two more on
here before we wrap up.
1322
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,600
We saw Tib in here.
Tib jump in here if you want to
1323
01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:17,600
Jim I.
See you in the I was hoping
1324
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,040
somebody was going to hop on and
tell us that this was a bad
1325
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,880
hire.
That's what I want to hear.
1326
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:25,360
Yeah, the the the worst we've
gotten so far is Chris being
1327
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:32,240
cautiously optimistic.
Cautiously optimistic and and if
1328
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,920
and and.
I just want to hear what someone
1329
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:36,640
would say why it is.
We'll give a little Sean
1330
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,600
Clifford respect.
I just said Sean Clifford.
1331
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,320
I didn't shoot on Sean Clifford,
said Sean Clifford, Jim.
1332
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,280
But if if you want to say, and
again, this was always my fear
1333
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,760
and it still is my fear a little
bit, Can he get enough talent in
1334
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,080
Blacksburg to get the success he
had at Penn State?
1335
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,880
That is still my fear.
That's why he wasn't my number
1336
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,360
1.
He was my number two.
1337
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,840
It was can he develop?
Because they're going to be to
1338
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,400
me.
It's like here, he's going to
1339
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,720
have like 3 out of five.
You're going to have to develop.
1340
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,160
We're down.
There was only two out of five
1341
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,960
and he developed those guys and
two.
1342
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,840
That's all about the that's all
about the staff he puts around
1343
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,480
himself.
It's true, number one.
1344
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:29,200
But he takes Virginia Tech from
I think what we wanted is, you
1345
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,280
know, and still, you know, you
got to recruit the footprint.
1346
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,840
I understand that you don't
forget about where you are.
1347
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,960
You don't forget about Virginia,
the DMV, you know, the
1348
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,040
Carolinas, You don't forget
about those places.
1349
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:47,080
But like I told people from the
beginning, James Franklin brings
1350
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:52,320
a national recruiting presence
to Virginia Tech.
1351
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,480
They've got a four-star kid from
California.
1352
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,800
Crystal ball.
Crystal ball to go to Virginia
1353
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,640
Tech.
How many times has that kid been
1354
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,000
to Virginia Tech?
I'm sure he's heard about it.
1355
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,600
And again, that's another thing
of people saying, well, Virginia
1356
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,040
Tech's not a good job or
Virginia Tech is nothing like
1357
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,760
everybody knows what Virginia
Tech is.
1358
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,120
They know of Virginia Tech, but
they may not know the real
1359
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,400
Virginia Tech.
So somebody like Franklin is
1360
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,040
going to bring those names and
he's going to get those visits
1361
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,360
and then he's going to he's
going to recruit those kids
1362
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:27,640
because they want to play for
him.
1363
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:33,440
He's a highly intelligent guy.
He he knows what to say to
1364
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,960
parents, players, board of
visitors, go watch when he
1365
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,160
visited with them earlier today.
He's just he, he's a, he's a
1366
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,560
high level guy, but it's OK to
be a high level guy.
1367
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,360
And then you got to follow
through with some of the stuff.
1368
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,560
Hugh Freeze was a high level guy
in the talking aspect.
1369
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,160
That's what messed him up in at
Auburn.
1370
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,960
Everybody down here thinks he's
a politician.
1371
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,720
That's what he acts like now.
He said the right things in in
1372
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:04,080
living rooms and then as soon as
he left, he changed the whole
1373
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,760
thing up.
Think about, and I don't want to
1374
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,600
change the, you know, change the
topic from James Franklin, but
1375
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,920
think about on, on, on blue
chips.
1376
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,480
Was it blue chips?
When my man Nick Nolte was like,
1377
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,600
he going to visit the going to
visit the recruits And he's
1378
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,720
like, oh, are you Catholic?
You know?
1379
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,440
Oh, yeah, I'm Catholic too.
And then he goes to the next
1380
01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:24,360
house and he goes, oh, y'all a
Baptist?
1381
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,160
Oh, yeah, I was raised Baptist.
And he's in there clapping like
1382
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,160
that's that's the kind of coach
that Hugh Freeze was.
1383
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,800
And it's cool to be that way to
get somebody on campus, right?
1384
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,960
But then when you got to live
with that every day and you
1385
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,760
start getting caught up in that,
that's what the problem is.
1386
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:43,760
So for what everybody says,
James Franklin has been or what
1387
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,520
he has not been, you haven't had
people come out and say he's a
1388
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,880
liar.
He, he doesn't follow through
1389
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:51,520
with things.
He promises recruits.
1390
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,800
He continues to recruit at a
high level.
1391
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,120
He was at Penn State for 12
years.
1392
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:03,320
Was it 12 years, 13 years?
So maybe you hit your peak at a
1393
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:04,920
place and it's time to go
somewhere else.
1394
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:11,520
So again, I, I think that us as
Virginia Tech fans are about to
1395
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,280
see a whole nother side of
recruiting that we've never
1396
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,200
seen.
We've never seen some of the
1397
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,880
things that he's going to do in
recruiting again, starting with
1398
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:24,040
a California quarterback that
hasn't been here already saying,
1399
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,280
yeah, let me come get this place
to look.
1400
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,880
Yeah, and then you got got like
Pierce Peterson from Minnesota,
1401
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,040
you talk about national
footprint from recruiting 4 star
1402
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,040
tight end, got the offer.
You threw that on Twitter.
1403
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,000
I mean, this is a guy that is a
Penn State commit and now all of
1404
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,480
a sudden, you know, we got some
motion with him at Virginia
1405
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:45,360
Tech, so.
This thing is.
1406
01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:49,600
Only going to get bigger as we
get even even further into I
1407
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,760
mean we're we're, you know, just
over 24 hours into this cycle
1408
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:53,840
we're.
Scratching the circle.
1409
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,320
Can I say something else, Brian?
Yeah, go ahead.
1410
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,760
I'll say something else.
This is another thing too, is
1411
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:05,160
what I was telling people,
because I'm not like a, a James
1412
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,200
Franklin guy.
I haven't studied him and all of
1413
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,120
that.
I just, I'm a college football
1414
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,320
fan.
We are three and 17.
1415
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:19,680
That has sucked For five years.
We've been on every broadcast
1416
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,680
and every news station and all
analysts talking about Virginia
1417
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:29,480
Tech, every national show, every
national show, Even before he,
1418
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:33,360
even before he was announced as
coach, when everybody was mad
1419
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,320
because on game day, which
shouldn't even been talking
1420
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,080
about a three and seven team
said, well, they're in early,
1421
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,400
they're in early talks, right?
We knew early talks, but even
1422
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,800
when they said he was in early
talks, it blew up.
1423
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,320
Everybody start talking about
it.
1424
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:48,960
Oh, it's going.
To be a great.
1425
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,280
Place Oh, I think that's going
to be a good a good fit if this
1426
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,000
happens.
I'm telling you man, y'all
1427
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,880
better buckle up.
I ain't.
1428
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:00,080
Getting no season tickets but.
Hey, I ain't getting no season
1429
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,160
tickets, but I'm going to call
Jeremy and see if he'll let me
1430
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,160
use his some of them games.
The other thing is, before you
1431
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:12,080
bring Tib on here, our boy John
Earl, who I thought might Ron,
1432
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,320
you figure that out?
Well, let him figure it out.
1433
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,680
Yeah, he's got Tib.
Camera connected or at least the
1434
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:19,880
mic.
As long as you get the mic
1435
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,240
connected, we can get you in
here.
1436
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:27,160
The Facebook post yesterday got
2.2 million views.
1437
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:33,440
Twitter got 2.1 million views.
It's the eyes, right?
1438
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,720
You want the eyes on there?
I like this, Justin.
1439
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,760
They knew the truth on game day.
Pat McAfee knew the truth two
1440
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,560
weeks ago.
Y'all.
1441
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,480
Didn't watch that piece with
look at what are you granted at
1442
01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:47,320
Sheldon could you?
Did you see a Shelton when he
1443
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,960
was talking to BA that day with
the search?
1444
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,440
Like Bruce told him, ain't going
to be James Franklin.
1445
01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:56,080
We just got to figure out the
money and all that.
1446
01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:00,840
And, and and and that is the
next piece when the contract
1447
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,000
comes out.
Doug Bowman.
1448
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,080
We know it's going to be Doug
Bowman, Randy, because they're
1449
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,520
doing the FOIA stuff that takes
too damn long to fill out to get
1450
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:10,920
the stuff you need.
Godspeed to them.
1451
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:15,160
The other piece over under right
now, I want Ichi.
1452
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,480
I'll start with Sheldon.
Sheldon, I'm all set it at 8 1/2
1453
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,400
over under the number of Penn
State transfers in.
1454
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,800
I'd say, I'd say under, I mean,
I still don't know, like, you
1455
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,280
know, like how how much of it is
like, are they committing
1456
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,240
because of Penn State or are
they committing because of
1457
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:32,360
Franklin?
Obviously it's somewhere in
1458
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,640
between, but we don't.
Know no, no, no, no, no, no no
1459
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,720
no no portal.
Portal Portal transfer.
1460
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,640
Portal Transfer, Portal over
under 7 and a.
1461
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,000
Half, yeah, I'd still, I still
take the, I'd still take the
1462
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,600
under.
I just, yeah, there's just too
1463
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,840
many on those at this point.
OK, tally 7 1/2 over under
1464
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,840
number of Penn State players
coming to Virginia Tech.
1465
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,840
I got to take the under on that
too, man.
1466
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:58,000
I mean, maybe six or seven.
I think we'll get a lot of
1467
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,840
Portal players, but I don't know
how many come 6-7 exactly.
1468
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,880
I don't know how many, you know,
come from Virginia Tech, but he
1469
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,200
going to be cooking.
I'd say about 6 though.
1470
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,840
Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of right.
If you just said 6 1/2, I might
1471
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,200
would have been eager to take
the over there.
1472
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,160
That, that extra, that extra 1
bump there.
1473
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,880
I think it's going to be right
at seven.
1474
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,320
Yeah, it, it could be, it could
flirt a little higher depending
1475
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,560
on how things shake out.
But I can see, like Tally said,
1476
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,240
somewhere in the six to seven
range being what comes over
1477
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,600
mixed in with some other guys
coming from other schools.
1478
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,600
I mean, I think you're still
going to probably see a portal
1479
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:42,480
class in the 12 to 15 range, if
not higher on top of whoever we
1480
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:45,640
retain from this class.
And then what's what's coming in
1481
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,560
with this, with this current
class that you know, we're
1482
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:54,120
seeing a lot of motion on?
Y'all wrong?
1483
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:59,080
Over over.
It's going to be 9 to 10. 9 to
1484
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,560
10 it's.
Going to be 9 to 10.
1485
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,640
All right, I will.
I will be happy to be proven
1486
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,520
wrong on that one.
Well, I mean, you start looking,
1487
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:12,880
it's like, hey, it's a lot of
Virginia kids up there that you
1488
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,400
don't think he can sell that
piece of come down here, come
1489
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,640
home one year.
Tony Rojas, Amari Campbell,
1490
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:24,560
there's your first two names.
Tony Rojas line back from up in
1491
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,440
Norman, I'm pretty sure.
I think that's who Dwight was
1492
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:31,080
alluding to earlier was Tony and
Campbell went from North
1493
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,760
Carolina up there and Campbell's
blown up.
1494
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,600
Campbell might make it to the
NFL if he doesn't come down, but
1495
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:41,280
there's a lot of other guys with
not Pennsylvania connections,
1496
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,720
not Penn State connections, and
depending on who he hires for
1497
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,240
defensive coordinator in those
other positions.
1498
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,400
See, Jim's with me and y'all
know Jim knows Penn State.
1499
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:55,920
I think it's going to be a lot
more and I think it's going to
1500
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,800
be strategic too.
I don't think it's just going to
1501
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,000
be 10 guys who are going to play
immediately next year.
1502
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,560
I think he's on snipe, a couple
younger kids.
1503
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,840
That's where I get my over.
So yeah.
1504
01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:09,840
All right, Tib can't connect.
Tib did connect.
1505
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,360
Oh, hang on.
We got, we got motion.
1506
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,200
We got motion, motion.
There we go.
1507
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,560
Last caller of the night.
Can you hear me, Ross?
1508
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:18,920
We got you.
We.
1509
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,280
Can hear you.
OK.
1510
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,720
So my worry is that we're going
to get to Jimbo Hireright.
1511
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,160
We're just throwing a lot of
money at somebody who just got
1512
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,560
fired and he's going to bring in
a lot of recruits.
1513
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,240
It's going to be good for a
while that the bottom is going
1514
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,400
to fall out.
But like I said, this is a shot
1515
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,400
saying Virginia Tech is for
real, right?
1516
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,000
And that's good enough for me.
That and that's the main thing.
1517
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,920
I mean I that's a legit concern.
So I totally understand where
1518
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,280
you coming from when you say
that, but it's just like this,
1519
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,360
like I talked to somebody when
you go to just say the
1520
01:20:55,360 --> 01:21:00,800
basketball, right, It sucked
when buzz came and then he he
1521
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:02,520
dipped, right.
It sucked when he came and
1522
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,480
dipped.
But would you give away what he
1523
01:21:04,480 --> 01:21:07,440
did when he was here, you know,
going to the tournament, the
1524
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:10,080
long run that he had?
No, you got to have that because
1525
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,960
at the place we're at right now,
we don't know when that we don't
1526
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,600
know when that that realignment
is coming, but we know it's
1527
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,320
coming, right?
We know that things are
1528
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,280
happening like that.
You don't want to be left out.
1529
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:28,440
And before we before we got this
big name coach, we and all
1530
01:21:28,440 --> 01:21:31,000
intents and purposes would have
been left out of any kind of
1531
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,400
realignment.
Now at least we get our name
1532
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,160
thrown in there because that's a
James Franklin LED team.
1533
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:42,080
So for him to leave here for the
most part, he's going to have to
1534
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,920
either do something really good
or really bad.
1535
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,640
So if he does something.
Really great.
1536
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:47,760
He was fired, bro.
He was.
1537
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,800
He was ready to be fired.
Come on.
1538
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Say what now?
See you.
1539
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,960
Oh yeah.
I wouldn't even I wouldn't even
1540
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,040
live near myself right.
That's.
1541
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,920
You bro, but I'm I'm, I'm going
to change the subject right now.
1542
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,880
Yeah, go ahead, give a shout out
to to Good guy Pry because he
1543
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:05,520
get to sabotage this whole
thing.
1544
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,440
But he didn't.
So he has a lot of money out
1545
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:12,600
there.
So it would have been hard to
1546
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,400
sabotage.
A lot of money's been thrown in
1547
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,040
there.
I know Penn State had to give
1548
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,720
him 9 million.
I don't even know what we give
1549
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,480
him yet.
But but you are you are right,
1550
01:22:21,480 --> 01:22:23,880
Tib, that he could have been
like, don't go there, it's a
1551
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,480
shit show, yadda, yadda.
And I know nine and a half,
1552
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:29,520
$1,000,000 is a lot of money.
But remember, if he didn't take
1553
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:34,080
the 9 1/2 or 10 1/2, whatever,
again, we'll find out soon.
1554
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,320
He was getting a shit ton of
money from Penn State.
1555
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:42,240
So either way, So if, if, like
you said, if Pry had made the
1556
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,200
point of just shitting on it,
which I don't think he would,
1557
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,720
because I think Pry truly wants
to see the program do good.
1558
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,560
I I really do.
I think if you talk to him, you,
1559
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:58,440
you feel that from his voice.
So yeah, I, I and and it would,
1560
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:01,960
it, would it shock anybody if
Brent Prize doing something not
1561
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:06,360
on the field, but in the film
room, in the locker room next
1562
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:06,880
year?
No.
1563
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,920
So what's the responsibilities
for a general manager under
1564
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,240
under Franklin?
That's Franklin's going to take
1565
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,480
care of the roster.
So what?
1566
01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:19,000
No Andy Frank?
Andy Frank's been his personnel
1567
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,880
guy for years.
And was it Justin that said it?
1568
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:24,600
Did Justin say?
It hello is.
1569
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:28,080
Chris, Chris said a little while
ago he thinks Andy Frank's
1570
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,600
coming, OK And Andy Frank has
been his personnel guy.
1571
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,480
Let me let me effort it here
real.
1572
01:23:34,480 --> 01:23:36,000
He's been for a couple years
now.
1573
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,440
Shelton, if you know by chance,
because I know you know things
1574
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,600
Andy Frank's been up there with
for 12 years.
1575
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,720
To answer the question though,
Tia, but I was, I was thinking
1576
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,080
about that too.
And for what I gathered, I could
1577
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,320
be totally wrong.
The AD does handle the athletic
1578
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,680
department right.
But when you have a general
1579
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,080
manager of like football,
they're going to handle more of
1580
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,600
the football aspect of that
athletic department.
1581
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,120
You know, they probably will
have to answer to AAD, but
1582
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,640
everything that handled that
goes with football is going to
1583
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,840
go through that general manager.
I think that's the the way that
1584
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,680
that position is is titled and
runs.
1585
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,880
Yeah.
And and that's the things
1586
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,040
probably over the next month
that we're going to find out,
1587
01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:23,400
we're going to find out the
staff, we're going to find out
1588
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,680
the structure of how the GM is
going to be set up.
1589
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,000
That's going to be the
interesting piece.
1590
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,080
The portal, obviously the portal
obviously what flips recruiting
1591
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,520
because we're 3-3 weeks away,
right?
1592
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,720
We're three weeks away from
National Signing Day.
1593
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:44,960
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, man, what what else
1594
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,200
you got for us, Ted?
Before we I'll just say this.
1595
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,160
I don't think the Penn State
football program should exist.
1596
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:57,040
And I think if Franklin is a
vindictive motherfucker, I think
1597
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,520
he should just go scorched
earth, do whatever he can, you
1598
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,280
know, destroy their recruiting
class, take their coaches.
1599
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,200
He might, he might.
I mean, let's do it.
1600
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,200
Guy was there for 14 years and
what did he really do bad there?
1601
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,440
Had a had a couple losses this
year.
1602
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,560
Not beat Ohio State, ever.
He beat him, but he did.
1603
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,160
No, he beat.
Him, he beat him.
1604
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:22,280
He did.
He didn't beat him.
1605
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,160
He didn't beat him as
consistently as.
1606
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,080
He has as many victories against
Ohio State as Frank Beaver does.
1607
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:29,400
True.
Yeah, true.
1608
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:29,960
True.
Fair.
1609
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,720
All right, Tim, appreciate you
getting on with us at the last
1610
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,520
second here.
We'll see you in the future.
1611
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:37,960
All right, have a good one
fellas.
1612
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,160
All right, man.
Thank you all.
1613
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,120
Righty.
All right, So Miami, huh?
1614
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,800
I.
I don't know what we're going to
1615
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,400
do.
Who knows, he might be going
1616
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,760
through the locker room this
week saying Pat guys on the
1617
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,880
back, if you get 2 patches,
staying, if you get 1 patch, you
1618
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,160
know you don't.
Hey.
1619
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,280
We got JV and Robinson coming in
now as of two hours ago.
1620
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,200
He's going to be at the game
Saturday. 4 star wide receiver
1621
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:16,920
out of PA.
So shit's happening guys.
1622
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:21,440
So I mean, it's it's going to be
an interesting game because of
1623
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,040
the recruits that are going to
be there and the recruits that
1624
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,880
are going to be there that
weren't even like on our radar.
1625
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:32,160
You know. 36 hours ago, whatever
it was, oh, we got, we got one
1626
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:33,040
more.
We got one.
1627
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:33,200
More.
Oh.
1628
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,560
He jumped off.
Hey, you going to come?
1629
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:39,480
Back, Mr. Hokey.
But here's the crazy part,
1630
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,400
though.
Normally stuff like that on game
1631
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,000
day, Shelton, you were down
there for years.
1632
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,160
Usually the coach is running
around like a chain with head
1633
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,120
cut off.
That's what James Franklin gets
1634
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,400
to do Saturday.
He gets to Gladys.
1635
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,160
Sail, sail.
Sail.
1636
01:26:56,160 --> 01:27:02,240
Sail, sail.
That's a huge benefit to getting
1637
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:06,440
this locked in this week he gets
now obviously with all these
1638
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:09,520
kids coming, he's will get to
glad hand sell the program as he
1639
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,080
does Mr. Hokey.
I'm going to let I'm going to
1640
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:15,720
give you 30 seconds to come in
if you don't.
1641
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,640
We got to move to big screeners.
Although should we?
1642
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,920
By the way, are y'all giving us
any chance this weekend?
1643
01:27:22,440 --> 01:27:24,680
No.
No, no, no.
1644
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:27,080
OK.
I think they'll, I think they'll
1645
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:28,400
cover, but they're not going to
win.
1646
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,280
What's the spread right now?
Was it 14?
1647
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,640
And.
A half 17 1/2.
1648
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,400
I thought that was too much.
Way too much.
1649
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,120
They watched the Florida State
game and they was like, yeah,
1650
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:43,040
they're going to be by 20.
Yeah, but the Florida State,
1651
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,840
that was them, that was us.
Well, two our credit 4th down,
1652
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:51,280
down what 10 decided to go for
it at the 30 yard line.
1653
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:53,800
Yeah.
Like.
1654
01:27:54,440 --> 01:27:56,920
That's that's the ones that hurt
because you know, it's like this
1655
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,560
was really a 10 point game.
Well, that, that's awful.
1656
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,800
I mean, obviously you can look
at the turnovers as being
1657
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,800
probably the biggest difference
in the game.
1658
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,960
Yeah, there there was miscues
throughout the game, but I mean,
1659
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,560
the, the turnovers themselves
were probably the biggest.
1660
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,520
When you look at the the way the
game played out, you look at you
1661
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,200
look at all the, the, the, the
culmination of everything.
1662
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,640
If you don't turn the ball over
like you did, you probably are
1663
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,120
at least making that a giving
yourself a chance at the end
1664
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,440
versus it being, you know, the
lopsided victory that it was.
1665
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,600
Yeah, but before we do big
strainers because your 30
1666
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:39,000
seconds is up Mr. Hokey for
y'all assistance, do y'all have
1667
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,320
one, one or two in mile that you
say go get that guy.
1668
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,120
Dex.
Dex.
1669
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:51,480
Why didn't nobody say Jim knows?
We tried like hella.
1670
01:28:51,480 --> 01:28:53,560
We, we, we, we were on that
wagon too long.
1671
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,840
We we're, we're off of it now.
Nobody wants to say Jim knows he
1672
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:03,680
won't follow him, but.
Maybe we tried him like hell
1673
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,200
last year.
You got anybody?
1674
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:10,920
I don't, I don't think Dex is
coming, but I just I want to
1675
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:12,600
know what they're going to do
with this offensive line.
1676
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,680
Like, I watched so much bad
offensive line play and then I
1677
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,840
can kind of see some good stuff
that Moore is doing.
1678
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:23,560
I'm going to be interested to
see who he brings or does he
1679
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,800
give him a chance or what route
they go with the offensive line.
1680
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,640
I have no idea what they're
going to do, but that's what I'm
1681
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:33,760
more probably looking at than
than anything.
1682
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:39,680
Offensive line coach all.
Right offensive line coach
1683
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:44,600
Shelton, you got anybody?
No, honestly.
1684
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,840
No, I'll throw a name out there.
What about Coach Chaos?
1685
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:54,640
I've seen somebody else throwing
it out there.
1686
01:29:56,360 --> 01:30:00,120
That was a name that we we heard
a lot this past offseason.
1687
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,240
We heard a lot about it.
It clears there's a connect.
1688
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,000
Well we don't know if it's lies
or not.
1689
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,600
It's like some it's like you
saying well I'm going to go work
1690
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,000
for this company and then the
other company next door to them
1691
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,880
says we will give you 30,000
more.
1692
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,160
Oh OK man fuck them.
I'm coming to y'all, I'm just.
1693
01:30:14,440 --> 01:30:16,160
Going to stay here.
He was a.
1694
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:17,400
He was an elite recruiter
though.
1695
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:22,360
He is an elite recruiter and and
the Ricky thing is, I mean, you,
1696
01:30:22,440 --> 01:30:25,560
you feel like either him or
Morehead's probably going to be
1697
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,400
it.
I don't, I don't think he's
1698
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:32,160
going to take a risk with an up
and Comer or a Soraka or a
1699
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:36,880
Mightier check.
I think I think it's going to be
1700
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,440
one of those two.
I think it's going to be a
1701
01:30:38,440 --> 01:30:39,680
highly experienced guy.
He.
1702
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:41,400
Wants he wants to home run it
out the gate.
1703
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,360
If it ends up not working, he
can always roll the dice later,
1704
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:45,840
but.
Can you know run?
1705
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
It out the gate.
And we know with him, he is not
1706
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,320
afraid to fire offensive
coordinators.
1707
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,960
To his credit, if it don't work,
he's getting.
1708
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:57,800
That shit either get promoted or
fired.
1709
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,400
There's no middle.
There ain't no middle.
1710
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,680
All righty, let's go real quick.
Let's make some picks.
1711
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,040
Cali.
You going to do it, man?
1712
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,160
Come on, keep going.
I got to, I got to keep hitting
1713
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:14,320
them right.
Keep in them.
1714
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,560
If you've been making bets the
last like month with Cali, you
1715
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:21,640
was probably up a couple $100
because he has went from like 7
1716
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,200
or 8 games under to only four
games under.
1717
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,560
He's been rolling.
Shelton took a slight step back
1718
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:31,080
last week.
I didn't go over again.
1719
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,680
I'm out of the cellar.
You're out of the cellar, Damn
1720
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,120
you.
So lot of lot of good games this
1721
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,040
weekend.
We got one curveball.
1722
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:41,720
I wouldn't say curveball, but a
little Commonwealth clash here
1723
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,080
on the board.
But let's start it out, Brian.
1724
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:50,760
We are going with my pick,
Nebraska, Penn State and I
1725
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:54,600
switched up on this one.
But then I decided neither one
1726
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:57,960
of these teams can win by 4 and
by 9 1/2 points.
1727
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:01,600
I'm more interested to see how
Penn State plays this week.
1728
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,800
They still can get bowl
eligibility.
1729
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:08,200
But with that being said, give
me Big Red. 9 1/2 is way too
1730
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:12,240
much to lay Sheldon.
Who you got?
1731
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:16,880
Yes.
Well, I'd have to look at who I
1732
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:18,680
selected.
That would be the first thing.
1733
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,760
Yeah, I took, I took Nebraska.
I I don't think Penn State is as
1734
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,360
bad as people think.
I've had, I think I've had some
1735
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:29,160
really bad luck this year, but
none and half seems like a lot.
1736
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:33,160
I think Nebraska will will do
well to to cover that.
1737
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:38,520
Sally.
Penn State, they mad because we
1738
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,800
got their coach.
They have to prove point.
1739
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,160
They're going to prove a point.
All right, all.
1740
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,360
Right, they will not be a point.
I, I, I think they're going to
1741
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:49,200
prove the point that they win.
I don't think they're going to
1742
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,440
prove a point by winning by more
than 9 1/2 so.
1743
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,080
I will take Nebraska.
There we go.
1744
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,240
Who's next?
Tally.
1745
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,280
Good 10.
OK, so I got the Georgia Tech
1746
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,120
pick game.
This is the one Narduzi said
1747
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,320
matters, right?
Yep.
1748
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,480
So Georgia Tech's going to win
this game.
1749
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:14,960
I'm getting on with it by more
than three points.
1750
01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:17,320
Yeah, I'm Rod.
I'm Rod with that big time
1751
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,200
because Narduzzi, I think, put
his fucking foot in his mouth
1752
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,600
way too many times.
And I think Georgia Tech's going
1753
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:25,160
to win this by at least a
touchdown.
1754
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,240
Georgia.
Tech by more than two and a
1755
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,840
half, by more than a touchdown.
Everything.
1756
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,480
The wheels fell off last week.
Depression quarterback it, and
1757
01:33:35,480 --> 01:33:37,560
in Atlanta it's going to look
even worse.
1758
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,800
Yeah, So Georgia Tech for me is
the opposite of Penn State.
1759
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,360
I think that they are not as
good as people think that they
1760
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,240
are based on how they played in
some of their games this year.
1761
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,840
That being said, I did take
Georgia Tech by a hair.
1762
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:54,240
I do think it'll be a very close
game, but Georgia Tech will win
1763
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:56,240
by the skin of their teeth.
I I I imagine.
1764
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,280
All right, Shelton with the
Commonwealth clash.
1765
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,200
The Commonwealth clash been a
major topic of discussion in the
1766
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:08,760
office this week.
One of the biggest games in the
1767
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,880
FCS?
Not actually, but at least from
1768
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:14,960
our perspective.
So Will and Mary, big game for
1769
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,360
them.
They need to win this game in
1770
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:21,360
order to stay in contingent for
the FCS playoffs, so it is
1771
01:34:21,440 --> 01:34:23,320
effectively a must win situation
for them.
1772
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,880
I will take the home team Will
and Mary.
1773
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,960
I've got them covering 8 1/2 and
beating the the Spiders.
1774
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,600
Tally.
I chose William and Mary because
1775
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,400
Shelton chosen and I don't know
anything about neither one of
1776
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:41,440
those teams.
I'm riding with William and
1777
01:34:41,440 --> 01:34:42,520
Mary.
I think they're going to make a
1778
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:46,240
statement in this one.
You keep on track to make the
1779
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:47,640
playoff.
I think it's going to be a big
1780
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:49,000
game for them.
They're at home.
1781
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,360
They'll they're going to take
care of business.
1782
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:59,200
My father-in-law went to U of R
so I'm against you Sheldon on
1783
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:00,800
this.
I think I'll let William and
1784
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,440
Mary win, but the the spiders
will cover.
1785
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,760
I'm realizing in hindsight I
should have went with the with
1786
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,800
the red logo instead of the blue
logo on this one.
1787
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:11,440
Oh, that's fine.
Yeah, looks great.
1788
01:35:12,440 --> 01:35:15,160
Thanks for getting the the the
women very logo right that that
1789
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,680
would be a a big celebration in
the office.
1790
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,400
Because we've asked him.
We've got some some that just
1791
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,360
look very similar that aren't
the current logo.
1792
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,120
So you got it, you got it right.
So Congrats to Brian for there.
1793
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:26,640
There we go.
There we go.
1794
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,520
All right.
Brian, you got the last one.
1795
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,200
You got the big one, man.
Last one, man, the USC Oregon,
1796
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,720
this is an interesting match up.
I, I, I, I think when I looked
1797
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,000
at the 10 1/2, I was a little
wary going this way, but
1798
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,920
ultimately I'm going to pick the
Ducks in this one.
1799
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:47,240
I think they're going to take
care of business.
1800
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:54,400
USD has burned me once with the
big number this year.
1801
01:35:55,440 --> 01:35:56,960
I don't think they're going to
burn me twice.
1802
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,600
I'm not saying they're going to
win this game, but I think just
1803
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:03,960
10 1/2 is too much to lay USC.
These are both good teams.
1804
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,200
I think it's a lot tighter than
this, so I'll take the 10 1/2
1805
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,160
points at the zoo for the
Trojans there.
1806
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,560
We go, Sheldon.
Yeah, now that I really think
1807
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,160
about it, you'll see.
Probably a smarter pick, but I
1808
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:18,960
picked Oregon so I'm just going
to roll with it.
1809
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,720
Sheldon said Fade Curtis is
still in play.
1810
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,880
Oh, Curtis picked that.
Up Exactly, exactly my thought
1811
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:32,160
saying Curtis picked USC said
I'm going the opposite way
1812
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:35,960
buddy, give me order.
There we go.
1813
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:40,120
So there are the big screeners
for this week.
1814
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:46,680
Going to be fun.
Fun weekend ahead, Fun night
1815
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:50,160
tonight for everybody who has
been here listening.
1816
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,960
By the way, do you see Mike
London around the office?
1817
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:57,800
Shelton.
I have not seen him around the
1818
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,240
office because the football
building is separate, but I've
1819
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:01,640
had a couple of interactions
with him.
1820
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,880
He is a super, super nice guy.
Like not like not a
1821
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,880
stereotypical like, you know,
gruff old guy football coach.
1822
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,760
Like he's super personable and
friendly.
1823
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,000
So I I love him.
Very cool, I've always heard
1824
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,640
that about him too.
He's always.
1825
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,200
A good guy.
I met him back when I coached at
1826
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:17,800
Tucker.
He came by the building a couple
1827
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,480
times.
So yeah, he's a, he's a good
1828
01:37:19,480 --> 01:37:23,080
guy, man.
Nights, all right, again, it has
1829
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,080
been a fun night.
Chad has been a fun night.
1830
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:29,000
Everybody that jumped on with
us, we really appreciate it.
1831
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:34,600
Y'all, you know, it's been fun.
It's we, we, we got where we
1832
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:36,800
wanted to be.
We got before Thanksgiving where
1833
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,200
we wanted to be.
Basketball's 4 and up.
1834
01:37:40,440 --> 01:37:44,360
Basketball's looking good.
Basketball's got a game tomorrow
1835
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,800
night and then they head to the
Bahamas, find out a lot about
1836
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,360
the team next week.
I don't know where Phil is.
1837
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:53,400
I told Phil to come on tonight.
Phil is going to be heading to
1838
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:58,720
the Bahamas for that tournament.
I mean so maybe live check in?
1839
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:00,640
So he's gonna have a good he
needs to do.
1840
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,040
Yeah, he needs to get on there,
do some live streaming from.
1841
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:04,520
We'll see.
We'll see.
1842
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,760
We can get enough Internet to do
that.
1843
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,080
Oh, he should be.
He's gonna get a resort man.
1844
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,000
All right.
Anything else?
1845
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,600
Did anybody else commit to
coming this weekend in the last
1846
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,880
10 minutes?
I've been kind of, you know.
1847
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,680
Monitoring.
Monitored around here, I haven't
1848
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:20,840
seen any other names that I
haven't like tried to throw it
1849
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,480
on here while we're while we're
going live, but yeah all.
