Curtis and Brian sent you Curtis
how we feeling tonight on this

14
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Tuesday.
It's a Tuesday night and we

15
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,700
don't have a recap first time.
All year no recap.

16
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,600
We are, we are done with
recapping the Hokies.

17
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,900
Now, whenever to recap in the
Hokies, We're done recapping the

18
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:51,300
Hokies this season.
This see, we're done recapping

19
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,300
games.
We constantly recap the Hokies

20
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,600
and all elements of it, but one
of those things, me and Brian

21
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,500
were saying, I'm going to be
traveling for work next week.

22
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,200
Do you want to punch it this
week?

23
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Like yeah.
Lets punch it.

24
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200
It's also one of those things to
a told, Brian.

25
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,900
It's really weird because I'm
used to putting something

26
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:13,100
together this week, right?
Yep.

27
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,800
You were used to putting
something together this Because

28
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,100
there's usually a game in like,
okay, let's do it, we can figure

29
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,900
out something, there's a ton of
news coming out, we got a bunch

30
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,600
of games to pick at the end, to
have some fun and then obviously

31
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,500
with, you know, the portal
opening up and we're going to

32
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,500
talk a little bit about that and
some other things, but we're

33
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:39,600
going to lead it off tonight
with the hardwood and not the

34
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Gridiron.
And we're going to talk about

35
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,000
the Hokies Hoops a little bit.
And, you know, No me and Brian

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,500
we're talking here we are.
The Hokies tip their first game.

37
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:56,500
21 days ago they have played 8
games since I have and we're

38
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:59,900
being honest here, I have been
able to watch really two games

39
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:03,800
beginning to end.
Or yeah, I three games.

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,500
I'm going to send a Minnesota
last night.

41
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:10,200
Three games, beginning to end in
about two sparingly, where it's

42
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,900
in and out in and out the others
have been following on Gamecast

43
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:16,800
in my phone.
What about you Ron?

44
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,300
Yeah, I put away for start to
finish probably pieces of to

45
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:26,600
others and the other two I was
just kind of following along

46
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,500
when I was when we I was I was
traveling during the During the

47
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:38,200
the Charleston classic.
So, missed one of those and then

48
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,000
got to see more than I thought.
I would though because of the

49
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,900
way, everything worked out with
when we were kind of not doing

50
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,100
stuff during that time but still
miss one of those and then you

51
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,600
know, missed another one there.
But I've been following about as

52
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,300
close as I can so far.
So try, try it as close as we

53
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,900
can with you know, jobs
families.

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,300
He's, you know, trying to watch,
pay attention to football and

55
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,000
all that stuff.
It is, it's, I mean, attempted

56
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,100
to file a basketball.
Season is in absolute grind

57
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:21,899
grind because there's so many
games there throughout the week.

58
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,700
Like, last night, I thought we
were the 9:00 and I look at

59
00:04:24,707 --> 00:04:28,400
this, like, oh crap the 7:00
actually, maybe I'll watch some

60
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,700
of this without falling asleep.
There you go.

61
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,100
And I did.
But before we talk about last

62
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,700
night's game, let's talk about
the close call versus Charleston

63
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,900
Southern Brian, because that was
a game.

64
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:42,600
I got to watch fairly off and
on, in and out.

65
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000
And it was just one of those
where, you know, it was the it

66
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,400
was, it was Black Friday.
I don't know if necessary, the

67
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,600
team looking through the
obviously, you're going to have

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,000
a lesser crowd there, but I
mean, they got taken to the

69
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,300
Limit by Charleston Southern
Last Friday Night.

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,700
Yeah, you know, wasn't a great
shooting night especially from

71
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:13,500
three.
No no so you know you actually

72
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:17,500
got field goal, wise Charleston.
Southern was a hair better than

73
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:19,300
you.
Three point wise, they're almost

74
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,800
ten points.
Ten percentage points better

75
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,600
than you were.
You know, free throws is kind of

76
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,000
where we won the game.
If we're being honest, it is it

77
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,700
is I mean, it's not even a joke,
we Want to because, you know,

78
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:36,000
rebounding even I mean, somebody
made a point.

79
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,100
I can't remember who it was.
If you remember who it was, you

80
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,900
know, shout them out.
Making the point of why do you

81
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,000
guys have career nights?
You know, there was there were

82
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,900
two guys that made an abundant
amount of 34.

83
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,100
Charleston Southern they won
like couldn't miss in.

84
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:56,400
One was like over 40 percent.
You got guys like career average

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,600
or like 7:00 at night.
Go off on us all the time.

86
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,700
They basically double of what
they are scoring.

87
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:05,500
But you know the team hung in
there they pull it out at the

88
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:12,200
end with the 69-64 victory but
then last night, the team woke

89
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,200
up a little bit.
I think obviously ACC Big Ten

90
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,600
challenge which we'll discuss in
a few minutes as this is the

91
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,400
last year of it.
Again, it's a big ten opponent.

92
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,800
The students are back that
section was absolutely rocking

93
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,700
last night.
Yeah, it looks like a Norman

94
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:31,600
Castle.
Yeah.

95
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,100
Look like castle look like,
yeah.

96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,800
So, you know, Hokies take a 67
57 when they win by 10.

97
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:41,100
They own.
It wasn't really that close.

98
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,800
It wasn't that close, it wasn't
that close and you know I'm

99
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,700
sitting here watching it and I
have to go do a couple things

100
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,500
and I may be away five minutes
and at that point it was a like

101
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:54,400
six point game and I come back
in the run.

102
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800
It started.
And that run just propelled this

103
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,700
game at the end of the first
half to making it a crew for

104
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:03,400
those keys.
Yep.

105
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Yeah and I mean, really looking
at the second half to I mean

106
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,600
other than probably the last
what?

107
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Two or three minutes of the game
absolute control in the second

108
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,800
half as well?
Oh no reason.

109
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:18,100
I mean there were times in that
second half sitting here

110
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,200
watching it.
No keys are up 20 points.

111
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,200
It doesn't even look like it
doesn't even look like they're

112
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,300
struggling.
They're the balls moving.

113
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:32,600
You know they destroy Minnesota
on the boards last night a plus

114
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,500
15 don't go to the line that
often which kind of surprised me

115
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:42,300
usually see a lot more fouls in
these games but just overall it

116
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:47,000
was a good team win and you know
Justin what does what he does,

117
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:51,800
right?
16 points, you know, nine total

118
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,200
rebounds, he stole the ball, he
blocked some, he got some assist

119
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,100
out of paint.
Yeah, I'll be here a guy.

120
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:02,000
That's now every game you can
expect a door close to a

121
00:08:02,008 --> 00:08:07,300
double-double on her somewhere
somewhere between 16 and 20

122
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:10,700
points.
I mean he's become that type of

123
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:15,400
player, definitely elevated
production at the offensive end

124
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,400
this year.
He's not just you know, No.

125
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,000
A big that has some some ability
that can also pass.

126
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,400
Well, he's got a lot more
scoring to his game this year.

127
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,400
That's really, really helped up
in the post there.

128
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,600
And we've seen, you know, Sean
Padula take the, the big step

129
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,799
that we were anticipating this
offseason.

130
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,200
So that's been a big bowl stir
for the theme as well.

131
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:40,799
We just need to get him some
help handling the basketball.

132
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,100
We do, we do.
I mean Sean Padula, some and

133
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:46,900
it's been mentioned by numerous
people, he has taken the step

134
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:51,300
this you know, 17 Last night.
And in that first half in the

135
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:53,900
early part of the second half,
like he was, there were times he

136
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:57,600
was just dominate their times.
He was just dominating with the

137
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,500
ball in his hands and it's great
to see.

138
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,000
But to your point and maybe
that's why the lead slip back to

139
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200
10.
Is there times where he had to

140
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400
go off the floor?
He kind of ran out of gas in you

141
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,600
know, right now if you know he
goes off the floor, it's kind of

142
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,500
a kind of a mishmash of who's
going to handle the ball and

143
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:19,900
bring it up the court and no one
is gonna Good enough like he is

144
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:24,900
so you know, the big key right
now and we keep hearing the name

145
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:27,800
and how big of a recruiter was
is when does Rodney rice come

146
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,100
back?
Because the quicker Rodney rice

147
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:35,300
gets back, it is going to
alleviate you know some of that

148
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,900
pressure from certain guys.
You know who aren't you know,

149
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:44,900
natural ball handlers and it
goes to Rodney and it's Rodney

150
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,400
Sean and then the other guy
sparingly when needed.

151
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Yeah.
And now we had talked about

152
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:52,500
originally that we were hoping
to get him back for the classic

153
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:54,900
that didn't happen.
Now, it sounds like more, like,

154
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,800
kind of right at the end of into
the semester is potential.

155
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,500
So we'll see if that is still a
moving Target or if that's more

156
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,500
of kind of a hopeful hopeful
spot for him.

157
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:15,200
It'd be nice to get him in there
and get some some action in

158
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,500
there before we get into the
heart of a CC play, you know,

159
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,100
we're going to get the one early
against North Carolina, but you

160
00:10:26,108 --> 00:10:29,700
know, if we can get him back by
the get him acclimated into the

161
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:33,000
game by the time we get into the
meat of the ACC schedule.

162
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,600
I think that's probably the most
desirable outcome.

163
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:37,900
Absolutely.
And it's going to be key

164
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:42,100
because, you know, last night,
the team had 14, turnovers their

165
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,500
teams in the ACC.
You do that again, it's not

166
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,100
going to be a double digit wins.
Can be a double-digit loss and

167
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,800
obviously we don't want that.
Happen.

168
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,600
I'll tell you something else
last night that you know sort of

169
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,600
was a little bit impressive to
me him drawing charges is always

170
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,700
been impressive.
I want to know if there is a

171
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,500
stat out there for that because
he drew, I think what three more

172
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:06,600
last night but just in general,
you know, the way he draws

173
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,900
charges, how he plays position
defense it's getting better and

174
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:14,700
better and even when he's not on
fire from outside or he's not

175
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,200
you know giving you 10 to 12
points, what Hunters doing On

176
00:11:18,208 --> 00:11:22,800
the defensive end is great.
Yakitori is definitely taking a

177
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000
big step with his defense.
This year continues to impress

178
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,600
on that end of the floor, not
quite taking as many shots as we

179
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,300
saw at points last year, but
we've also seen that, you know,

180
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:39,800
he's not a guy that Takes a lot
of shots consistently usually he

181
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:43,700
when he's hot, he's going to
take the shot if it's not quite

182
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Fallen, he's not going to force
anything.

183
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,800
He's not just he's not that
volume tape sheet.

184
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,100
Everybody is a very streaky
shooter when he when he gets

185
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:52,300
hot.
He's very hot.

186
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,600
Absolutely another guy last
night that definitely chipped in

187
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,600
with you know getting people
rest being physical giving up

188
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,100
fouls and last night as well
scoring was petite.

189
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:09,100
You know they had those four
personal fouls but he's a big

190
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,000
bodied guy.
That's okay.

191
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,700
That's what he needs to be there
for.

192
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:18,200
But 11 minutes and eight points.
I mean, you tell me he gets us

193
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,900
five every night and comes in
and helps play good defense and

194
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,900
be a physical presence.
It's I mean, I think that's

195
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:30,300
going to go a long way, as the
season goes for the rotation for

196
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:33,300
the rotation of this team.
Especially once rice gets back.

197
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,700
Absolutely.
And we saw, you know what, Lynn

198
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,300
kid was out there for 16
minutes.

199
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:47,100
We saw columns out there for 21,
so we saw, we saw some of the

200
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:51,800
bench last night and they, they
showed a little bit of little

201
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,600
bit of action there.
Again, it you said especially

202
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,100
Poteet there, but I was
impressed by what kid was able

203
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,200
to bring to the table as well.
Yeah.

204
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,100
And and it's all about, in this
case, once you get rice back,

205
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:07,000
it's it's never be, I don't
think with Mike young, you're

206
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,100
never going to see a guy.
Do a Collins, did consistently

207
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,000
Off the Bench and get 20 plus
minutes.

208
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,400
I just don't think you see that
but it's if they know their role

209
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,100
which I think petite knows his
role.

210
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:20,600
I think kids hopefully learns
his role.

211
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800
It's once you learn your role
with Mike.

212
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,100
Young.
That's how you get inserted

213
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,000
because I think the way my
quirks and you take a look, the

214
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,200
starters, the lowest was months
with 24, the highest was Padula

215
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,800
with 35 to do with 35.
Makes a lot of sense, but you

216
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:39,600
might young is not a.
I'm going to sub three guys at

217
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,300
once.
It's normally I'm going to sub

218
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:43,300
1.
Yeah, I'm gonna solve another

219
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:46,800
one, and another one and it's
going to be that rotation when

220
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,500
he's never going to take his
Coral floor and it seems like

221
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,700
that's the case this year.
So we'll see how Goes yeah.

222
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,500
Usually usually two guys at a
time is about the most you're

223
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:00,800
going to see ya.
But Brian, there is a concerning

224
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:09,500
stat for Virginia Tech and how
we play basketball, and that's

225
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:15,700
three point percentage last
night, 36%, We haven't shot over

226
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:20,100
40% since ODU that with Penn
State, both Charleston game,

227
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:21,900
that's four games we've played
eight.

228
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:28,000
So half the games, you know, we
have not shown over 40% in to be

229
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400
honest.
You give me your opinion.

230
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:36,800
I don't want to see last year
again, but unless that gets up,

231
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,600
and I'm going to pull the stats
while you talk about it.

232
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:44,000
Unless that gets up to hovering
closer to 40% consistently,

233
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,800
every We game there's going to
be some long nights in ACC play.

234
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:52,200
Yeah I'd say The only positive I
would take away from this is

235
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,800
that this team is already shown
the ability to win games even

236
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,100
when they're cold from three
which is encouraging as we get

237
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,000
to ACC play.
But we know that you know, the

238
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400
competition's going to ratchet
up as as we get into the

239
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,100
conference play, we're not going
to be able to have those

240
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:16,900
back-to-back-to-back games where
we're not. not not getting over

241
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:20,700
forty percent from three because
I mean that we're a team that

242
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:25,200
wouldn't say we live and die by
the three but our our offense

243
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,100
certainly cannot reach this
Pinnacle unless we're hitting

244
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:32,200
the three point shot and just
showing a difference.

245
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,600
And this is last year, full year
versus this year just through a

246
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,100
games last year.
Hokies 39 three from three point

247
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:44,100
range this year. 35 7.
The in four percent of the

248
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:46,300
volume.
You know, when you're taking 20

249
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:49,900
shots of night, that's a few
extra fallen and in tight games

250
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,600
that is the difference between
winning and losing.

251
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:54,800
I mean, it's definitely the
difference between winning the

252
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,300
Charleston classic and not it's
true.

253
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:01,700
Then we will say that.
And and I tell you it, one of

254
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:05,600
the big things is not to knock
the guy but it's Maddox man.

255
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,000
What the the last Maddox we saw
is not the Maddox that picked up

256
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,900
at the beginning of this year
already.

257
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,600
Yeah, the shots not following
the way I think we thought it

258
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,200
would.
I thought, you know, I think we

259
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,800
thought he was going to roll
right?

260
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,100
Right back in and pick up where
he left off last season.

261
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,600
We're not seeing that at the
gate, some areas of his game

262
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,500
having proved, which is helped
make this, not as much of a

263
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:32,700
problem.
True.

264
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,600
But, you know, at some point
we're going to need Shot to

265
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,300
start falling for us to reach
the spot.

266
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,600
We want to in conference play.
Yeah, and so far this year, it's

267
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:49,000
at 26 percent.
And I know he was a he was a

268
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:52,500
kind of a bench guy last year
and then kind of got more time

269
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,800
he shot. 50% from three last
year and yet he only averaged

270
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,600
like six and a half a game, but
that number is got to get closer

271
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,700
to 40.
I'll be if you're telling me

272
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,099
he's a 38 39, I think, I think
we can live and we can live with

273
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,000
that 25.
I don't think we can live with,

274
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,900
and I say that just us as fans
taking our hats off slanting,

275
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:17,400
pulling our hair out watching
games, because You mentioned

276
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,400
earlier with Couture.
It's a little different when

277
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,300
Darius Maddox.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.

278
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,800
He is a volume shooter when he
starts shooting.

279
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:35,100
So, you know, we'll see big game
obviously is on Saturday with

280
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:37,400
Caroline.
A human sundae with Carolina

281
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,100
coming into town at three in
you.

282
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:44,600
Yeah, three in Castle.
It's going to tell a lot about

283
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,000
this team.
Win or lose.

284
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,700
Yeah.
And you know in some ways it's

285
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:54,000
probably not as great that we're
getting Carolina.

286
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,900
Coming off of a loss there.
Well, hello a loss and then they

287
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:05,300
got dropped 17 spots in the.
I don't get the front.

288
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,200
It's actually that's a very big.
Yeah.

289
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,600
I mean if you just said eight or
nine spots, I'd have been like

290
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:19,200
sure. 17 spots and they lost to
a top 20 team in quadruple

291
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,000
overtime.
It's like the it's like this I

292
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,700
mean they certainly aren't what
we went.

293
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,000
You know the poll said they were
we know that we knew we knew

294
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,800
they were over ranked to start
the year.

295
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Why they should ranked teams
until the end of December and

296
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,900
basketball.
There we go.

297
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:42,800
But the honest truth is where
the AP just just trying to set

298
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,500
us up.
Now, they play Technics, let's

299
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,500
just go ahead and drop Carolina
way down here to put something

300
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,400
on their minds as they going to
Castle.

301
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,300
I probably mentioned just a
couple minutes ago about this is

302
00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:01,300
the last game of the ACC Big Ten
challenge.

303
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,800
It's 23, years old, you know,
obviously out of my mom buddy.

304
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,000
Malik from work mentioned.
Like he's a little bit younger

305
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,600
than us about 10 years.
He's like, I grew up on that.

306
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:17,700
I expected that every November.
Yep, really good.

307
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:20,300
Enter conference.
And, you know, and I'd say for

308
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,800
us, it's Allure.
We were a little bit older but

309
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,600
it was one of those times in,
you know, you know, High School

310
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,500
College Avenue week after
Thanksgiving.

311
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:32,000
You're expecting to me some good
basketball games on mid-week,

312
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,700
right?
Exactly this this time of year.

313
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:39,200
I mean, you kind of get those
higher profile matchups that

314
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,600
you're not necessarily used to
write.

315
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,200
So it was always good.
Good matchup.

316
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,700
And I know we're moving into a
new era with the, with the SEC

317
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:53,200
coming in.
That's going to be interesting.

318
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,100
Who is, who is your, who do you
want first?

319
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:02,000
Well, it's obvious to me.
You gotta let Tech play em with

320
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,500
Buzz there.
And, and the honest truth is,

321
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,500
just because they have to put it
in Castle.

322
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,700
You can't put it down in
Aggieland, you have to put it at

323
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:16,600
Castle.
Make it matter more.

324
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:20,800
Make it matter a lot more.
What about you?

325
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:24,300
Are you on that train or you
know, a little different.

326
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,500
You know what, I'd like to see
us?

327
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,100
Finally, get over the Florida
hump.

328
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:32,000
So I'd like to get Florida.
Okay, okay.

329
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,400
That's a good one.
That's a good one.

330
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,700
That's a good one.
And, you know, a lot of

331
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,900
interesting matchups and
obviously a lot of people are

332
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:44,800
saying well why did this happen?
A the Big Ten they're losing.

333
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:50,500
The ESP is essentially losing
every right to the big tent.

334
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,800
This wasn't just a football for
everybody that says, it's a

335
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,900
football move, it is mostly
about football, but they've lost

336
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:01,600
a all the basketball stuff and
like that.

337
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:08,000
So now why wouldn't they pivot
to their two biggest, you know,

338
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,600
investments in the ACC in the
SEC and for the ACC you're from

339
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,000
doing this challenge, you're
probably going to see a revenue

340
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
bump.
Obviously you're going to

341
00:21:20,008 --> 00:21:25,100
probably see See more ACC games
in the weekday getting ESPN,

342
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,100
ESPN2 treatment versus being
shuffled around to the network.

343
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:36,100
When it's not a big game, so
more notoriety and you know for

344
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,600
us probably as a region a few
more matchups.

345
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,400
You know, we talked about a.m.
and Brian mentioned Florida, I

346
00:21:43,408 --> 00:21:49,300
mean what about Tennessee yeah,
I mean, you know, when the when

347
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:55,100
Tennessee when that becomes sort
of a Yeah, when they decide to

348
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:58,300
have those two teams play that a
lot of people will come up out

349
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:03,300
for that.
So in, who knows?

350
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,600
I think it'll be interesting.
And again, you still have just

351
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,400
thinking higher level ACC, you
still have your blue blood, I

352
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,000
mean, you know, they, you know,
Kentucky with Carolina and Duke,

353
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:21,700
you know, Florida, Tennessee,
obviously, being good, you've

354
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:25,600
got enough Firepower.
On both sides where it's still

355
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,900
good, stay intriguing for sure.
And I mean, we've seen the SEC,

356
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:33,300
take big steps in basketball,
probably the last decade to

357
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:37,700
where, you know, they were kind
of very middling for a while and

358
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:40,700
now they're very much in the
kind of the top-tier there.

359
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:45,100
So, 100% 100%, let's talk real
quick.

360
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:50,600
Two notes, women's hoop.
Now, ranked number 9 in the

361
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,800
country.
Give them a clap continue to

362
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:59,700
win.
Um including smashing a lot of

363
00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:03,600
the other night which Longwood
was a tournament team last year.

364
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,300
And I think they expected to
compete in the Big South again

365
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:09,700
this year.
Don't quote me, but I don't

366
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:11,600
think they're gonna quite reach
the heights.

367
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,500
They did last year, but they
were certainly supposed to be

368
00:23:13,508 --> 00:23:17,800
competitive in that conference
and they got their ass waxed.

369
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:24,200
What was the psalmist was like
87, 37, 8, it was an 80 9 20. 88

370
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,300
or something like that.
Oh, I thought they broke 30.

371
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,900
That hurts.
That hurts a lot.

372
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:35,700
He's pulling it up here.
Yeah.

373
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:37,900
Benjamin earlier when we were
talking about it and it was

374
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:39,700
like, we gotta mention this
because eighty nine.

375
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,000
Twenty-eight.
I was right. 89, 2861.

376
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,500
Did Longwood even break double
digits in any quarter.

377
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,500
Hang on.
Let's see how this is just

378
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:56,100
purely me entertaining myself
and I know they got 11 in the

379
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:00,000
third.
Oh God, did they get under five

380
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
and a quarter?
This oh they did.

381
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,900
Yeah.
They open a opening quarter.

382
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:13,600
It was 20 to 40 and we put the
slam the door to 6:33 in the

383
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,400
forest.
Under 10's on back sighs.

384
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:24,400
I think I'm doing the math here
so 7-Eleven in six in the third

385
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,500
a six-point quarter 66 in the
second so you can support for

386
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,900
611 7.
Barely broke doubled it out,

387
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:34,000
guys?
Well, you know what Kenny is got

388
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,200
good thing going with the
women's Hoops team, obviously

389
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,200
nationally-recognized up there
now and obviously, you know, as

390
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,400
well as with the ACC sec.
Amens challenge is going to be

391
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,900
coming in a woman's challenges
well and obviously that probably

392
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:53,800
is much better for the women's
product.

393
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:58,300
Yeah because the SEC women's
basketball overall is better.

394
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:02,100
And you know the ACC as well
with take the one go with

395
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:04,900
Louisville playing well with a
couple other really good

396
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:09,100
programs state so there's South
Carolina in the mix there with

397
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:17,000
those boys for that.
No kill some confidence you

398
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,300
playing the the lady Gamecocks
down there because they are

399
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,100
crushing it.
They should let UVA play them.

400
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:27,100
It's Dawn.
Playing with his ball is an

401
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:30,300
elite player that you hate
30-plus years ago.

402
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,200
There we go.
Hi.

403
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,700
So what will close the book on
talking about Hoops here at lot

404
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,000
of fun?
Again, Hoops is such a long

405
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,100
season.
You know what, we'll try to hit

406
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:45,800
games as we're on here and there
obviously, you know, We'll talk

407
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,300
about some of the games when
we're back in a couple weeks and

408
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,400
you know how the teams looking
over all.

409
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,500
All right, Brian?
Let's flip.

410
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:57,400
Let's talk about some college
football and using notes and the

411
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:05,200
college football game of
headsets as return, The starting

412
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:12,300
off 15 openings.
Yeah, it's that's has a 10%.

413
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:16,600
That's a big damn number right
there that we had to fill in

414
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,600
here and we're moving pretty
quickly to fill it in.

415
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:22,900
You know, we're about what a
third of the way there.

416
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:27,100
We're a third of the way there.
And we are only a few days

417
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,200
after, you know, Black Monday or
where a day after Black Monday.

418
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,200
Excuse me.
But one of those roles got

419
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,600
filled last week Solid didn't
mention it just a lot more going

420
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,500
on but UNC Charlotte who had
fired will Healey earlier in the

421
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:45,600
year hired, the associate head
coach for Michigan Biff.

422
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,700
Poggi poggi did some research on
him, long time, high school

423
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:54,300
coach up in.
Maryland cannot remember the

424
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,100
high school's name.
What won multiple?

425
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:00,400
Multiple state titles?
Put a lot of D1 prospects

426
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:04,500
including Blake Quorum at
Michigan, where he is, Added to

427
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:11,200
go and Coach but you know it
seems like they Club.

428
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,000
Lit and UNC Charlotte is being
shut down.

429
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,300
And it sounds like put in their
glove lit is kaput kaput dead.

430
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,700
And they're bringing the guy
named Biff in.

431
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,800
I don't think there's gonna be a
lot of clubland.

432
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,300
I think there might be a lot of
a lot of running.

433
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,800
I think so.
I think so, I wonder if they're

434
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,200
going to throw but head up out
there look, you know, I'm

435
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:41,800
interested in.
Alright, let's start with some

436
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,800
of the other bigger hires in,
let's start with probably the

437
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:52,100
biggest program higher and it's
Nebraska, and it's Matt rule,

438
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:56,900
you know, You do got fired from
the Panthers just to you know,

439
00:27:56,900 --> 00:28:01,700
couple months ago such success
at Baylor Sussex s at Temple.

440
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,800
He hits an eight-year contract
down there.

441
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,100
My buddy again Malik multiple
shout out to tell them tomorrow

442
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:12,100
at work, listen Malek's like
he's got the best agent in the

443
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:13,600
world.
He's getting like 68 million

444
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,400
dollars from Tepper and now,
he's got an eight-year deal from

445
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,200
the Prescott.
What do you think of the higher

446
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:26,900
bronze with ruled on a Nebraska?
I think it's A decent fit, you

447
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:31,000
know, I think he kind of knows
the lay of the land there in

448
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,900
general still within kind of
that recruiting footprint, that

449
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:40,700
we, that he was used to before.
We'll see if anyone can bring

450
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:43,300
Nebraska back from the from the
brink here.

451
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,300
It's kind of Unfortunately
mirrored us a little bit and

452
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:53,300
kind of been in the doldrums but
competitive and then kind of

453
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:58,200
fell off the map a little bit.
So we'll see if we can kind of

454
00:28:58,208 --> 00:29:00,800
get back where we need to with
this program and see if rules

455
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,300
the guy to do it.
What with rule I think it's

456
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,800
going to be more interesting to
see if he can get back just at

457
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,200
the Bellini level.
Yeah the eight nine wins a year

458
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
occasionally attend because that
wasn't good enough for me I

459
00:29:12,808 --> 00:29:16,400
think Pelini was a even though
he was a hothead Polina.

460
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,700
Football guy, I think Pelini I
absolutely got KN too early

461
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:26,300
because Nebraska thought they
thought it was still the 90s and

462
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,600
what wasn't and I get mad.
I get having goals and I get not

463
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,500
being content with just being an
eight or nine win team.

464
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,100
But you gotta support the guy
that's there and see if you can

465
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:43,100
build around him to get there.
Instead of just firing a guy and

466
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,100
thinking you're going to, you
know, go hire the the next

467
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:47,400
up-and-coming.
Owen, gfiveg.

468
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,200
I think that it's going to
happen.

469
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,100
It's true man, it's true.
I think the big thing with rule

470
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:57,700
though and the one thing that
you kind of read was how he

471
00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:00,900
tried to create a culture in the
NFL like he did in college.

472
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:04,300
That doesn't work in the NFL no
collagen does though and I think

473
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:09,100
in a place like Nebraska it can
work now obviously he's made a

474
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:11,900
huge move and getting
Satterfield from South Carolina

475
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,300
to come over.
And that guy he's familiar with

476
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:18,200
it's a guy we've already.
Seen obviously he's paid

477
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,000
dividends for Shane going to be
interesting to see who Shane

478
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,600
fills in with that spot.
But you know Nebraska going with

479
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,800
the eight-year deal says a lot
because it's almost like they're

480
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,300
giving him a two-year freebie
and then probably a three year.

481
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:39,500
You know, let's see what you
got.

482
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:44,800
But I mean I'll give the higher
an a he was the biggest name out

483
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,900
there.
Right.

484
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:50,000
Biggest name out there.
Definitely the biggest thing out

485
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,900
there that didn't already have a
job somewhere else.

486
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,400
The biggest free agent out
there, maybe that's what we

487
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,900
should say.
All right, let's flip the this

488
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:00,300
one.
Next Braun, not a bigger name

489
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,100
because I'm going to go with the
big names and then we're going

490
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:06,800
to hit the actual affecting of
the Hokies at the end here.

491
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:12,800
But Arizona State hires Kenny
Dillingham, Kenny Dillingham is

492
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,200
32 years old.
So go ahead and put that out

493
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:22,200
there.
He was born in 1990. he

494
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,900
obviously recently had been at
Oregon as their offensive

495
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:30,200
coordinator for this one year
before that two years at Florida

496
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,500
State under Mike nor fell and
then before that he was with he

497
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:41,000
was at Auburn under gustn 2019
and then back with Norville in

498
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,300
2018 at Memphis in 2017, in
Memphis young guy, Arizona State

499
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:52,900
grad, And I think Arizona
State's in a little bit of

500
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:59,000
plummet, right now, of what's
going on, you know, because of

501
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,500
the whole home situation and all
the stuff that was going on

502
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:03,200
there.
I feel like they just decided to

503
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,100
say, hey you know what, we're
going to do?

504
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,500
We're kind of just going to go
one somebody who was here less

505
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:13,600
than 15 years ago, probably
understands the culture and all

506
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,000
that stuff about what we need to
be competitive here at Arizona

507
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,000
State.
Yeah, it's going to be

508
00:32:21,008 --> 00:32:25,400
interesting to see what they are
able to do out there because I

509
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,300
feel like they've kind of lost
their way.

510
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:32,900
I feel like that was kind of a
somewhat consistent program for

511
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:39,400
a while and it's going to be
seen if they can kind of get

512
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:45,900
back in that mix in the Pac-12
to really be competitive because

513
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,200
they really kind of fallen off
of map a little bit there.

514
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:52,600
The last three years in the
Pac-12 is getting easier, I

515
00:32:52,608 --> 00:32:55,100
mean, in the next few years
would, you know, when USC and

516
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:59,200
UCLA moving its going to become
an easier conference to compete

517
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:06,400
in and you know, Again, I think
this is just a culture higher

518
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,200
regardless, what the offense
looks like in all that.

519
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,000
I think it's just if it's
someone, he went here, he's one

520
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,300
of us.
He understands what we do, you

521
00:33:15,308 --> 00:33:20,800
understand where we can be and
what we can do, and sometimes

522
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,100
that's all you need.
You need a voice and someone

523
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:26,500
who's familiar with everything.
So, I'll probably, I'll say a

524
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:31,200
see on this one.
Obviously, it's all come three

525
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,400
years from now, you know.
For the guys who can do those

526
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,400
shows?
I tip my hat to you because

527
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:42,100
research because, you know, yeah
I'm right there with you, on the

528
00:33:42,108 --> 00:33:46,400
sea to be continued to see what
this how this turns out.

529
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,300
But all right.
Now the next two, I don't think

530
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:52,200
we're going to grate a.
See, the first one.

531
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,400
Is it broke Sunday.
I know I sent you guys the thing

532
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:03,400
about 11:00 Luke fickle, Leaf,
Cincinnati and in kind of Of a

533
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:06,400
shocker to some people.
Specially Wisconsin had looked

534
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,900
better under Jim Leonard.
Luke people to Wisconsin.

535
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:13,900
Go Brian.
What do you think?

536
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:16,500
Yeah, I mean that I'm gonna go a
minus here.

537
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:19,900
I mean that's that's as big of a
higher I think is Wisconsin

538
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:23,199
could have pulled other than
sticking with with Leonard and,

539
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,800
you know, it's a guy that's
going to come in and immediately

540
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,600
have I think success.
I think he's going to have have

541
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,800
that locker room how quickly he
kind of gets things going in

542
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,600
terms of being competitive for
the actual conference title.

543
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,000
I think is in question, but I
think you'll definitely kind of

544
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:47,100
Get them back to that you know,
roughly around 10 win level that

545
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:50,699
we're kind of used to Wisconsin
being at Henry out the gate.

546
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,800
They're not that far from it
either.

547
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:57,700
No, I still think Paul Chris
pissed, somebody off, I do, I

548
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,400
feel think he pissed somebody
off in that Administration and

549
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,300
they were just like you get
start this season all bad,

550
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:05,100
you're going bye-bye, and he
did.

551
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:08,200
And that's what happened.
As far as it goes.

552
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,600
I'm more interested to see from
this.

553
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,900
If there any players that will
leave, especially on the

554
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:19,100
offensive line, are there any
players that?

555
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:23,700
Because if we look in vain with
what he's been running at

556
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:27,100
Cincinnati for those years, it's
not that power base game.

557
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:30,500
That's a little bit more spread.
It's a little bit little bit

558
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:33,900
different of an offense and what
they've been doing it Wisconsin.

559
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,300
And if he's give me a tackle in
the center, there you go.

560
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:41,000
That's all Brawn.
Give it here.

561
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,700
They haven't played that much.
That's all brown wants because

562
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:47,200
at least you know, body
movement, they know and Joe

563
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,200
wants.
But that's going to be

564
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,800
interesting to see what he does
though.

565
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,900
If he takes that and goes into
Wisconsin and decides, we're

566
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:58,200
going to try to run this offense
and if it will work because

567
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,800
basically Wisconsin's ran the
same offense for 30 years since

568
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,500
Alvarez was there.
More or less.

569
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:09,900
Yeah, in the thing is, you know,
fickle zundert, Russell for all

570
00:36:09,908 --> 00:36:12,400
those years and under John
Cooper would they did a lot of

571
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,200
the similar stuff you know back
in the 90s and early 2000s.

572
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,000
So super interested to see how
it goes.

573
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,500
Again I'm with you.
Eh - on this probably couldn't

574
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,100
have got a better at least
culture.

575
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:29,100
Fit knows the Big Ten knows
recruiting footprint, probably

576
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:31,000
going to be able to up that game
a little bit there.

577
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,900
All right, Brian this is the one
that probably made me the

578
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:40,700
happiest, the squad, the Auburn
Tigers War.

579
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:47,700
Damn Eagle decided to come down
to Lynchburg and get Hugh freeze

580
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,200
out of their God.
There we go.

581
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:59,800
What's your grade on this one?
A Plus Sigma Plus Hugh freeze

582
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,000
has proven both at Ole Miss,
where he was getting top-notch

583
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,600
players.
Maybe my not the most honest of

584
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,300
ladies, which doesn't matter as
much.

585
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:17,400
Now, it does not matter as much
now, but but but still you can't

586
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:20,600
do the things he was doing to
get players that's still a leak.

587
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:26,800
Very true, very other.
There are other ways above board

588
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,100
to lure recruits to Our school
now there is but I think what

589
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:35,900
he's done, he could take some of
the best talent in the country.

590
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:38,900
Right out of high school,
develop them beat Alabama,

591
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:43,400
compete in the SEC.
I think, what he's done at

592
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,700
Liberty to is he's shown you,
how good his coaching chops are

593
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,700
taking cast, all taking three
stars, taking two stars, and

594
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:55,000
really turning them into a team
that can be competitive with

595
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,700
just about anybody in the
country.

596
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:02,100
And when it comes to a place
like Auburn, he's going to

597
00:38:02,107 --> 00:38:04,600
probably have top 15 top 12
classes.

598
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,600
He's going to have some really
good big-time recruit but I

599
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,600
think what he's learned at
Liberty is I can dip my toe into

600
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,200
the transfer portal into the
transfer market and I can plug

601
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,000
holes somebody asked me today.
You think savings shaking in his

602
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,800
boots?
Like no-shave is not shaking in

603
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,900
his boots, but Saban knows it's
getting a lot tougher now.

604
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,900
Because he knows Hugh freeze
somehow.

605
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:33,500
He's got the Kryptonite well the
only guys that ever beat saving

606
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:40,700
multiple times Yeah I think so
I'm not as high on the grade as

607
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:46,200
you I'm back in the a - range on
this one but I say that with a

608
00:38:46,207 --> 00:38:49,000
caveat and before I get there,
let me go ahead and say this.

609
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:53,500
Like stay, like, stay out of the
day.

610
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,300
Fun fact, Auburn's last three
hires have been former Arkansas,

611
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:05,700
State head coach has, it is now
a requirement that if you're

612
00:39:05,700 --> 00:39:09,700
going to coach at Auburn, you
have to have a stop at Arkansas

613
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:13,800
State, you have to go through
the Arkansas state path there,

614
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,600
that has to be part of your
career path.

615
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:23,400
So, but I like this from the
standpoint of He's shown a

616
00:39:23,408 --> 00:39:30,700
propensity to be able to recruit
in the SEC players that can beat

617
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,700
the teams.
You have to beat To potentially

618
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:36,900
play for, and or win the
conference.

619
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,300
Sure.
And he's shown the ability to

620
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:46,200
get a lot out of players that
Once he gets them in-house,

621
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,500
right.
So he's taking castoffs he's

622
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:54,400
taken 3 star guys, and develop
them into better players than

623
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,700
their grade were.
He's taken to Star, guys, and

624
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:58,200
done the same thing.
They're at Liberty.

625
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:03,700
So, you know, there are things
about this that I like a lot

626
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:07,700
obviously, from an Auburn
perspective.

627
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:11,100
You're getting baggage with this
higher so that's why it's not an

628
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:15,800
A-Plus in my perspective.
And because you get Baggage.

629
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:20,700
The hook is going to be there, I
think quicker than you'd like to

630
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,100
like it to be.
So this is on freeze to show his

631
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:30,100
ability in the first two years
to at least get one of those

632
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:33,600
Marquee wins.
He will or that fan base, is

633
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,300
going to get antsy because they
have a real easy out to get it.

634
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,000
Get him out there.
Are you ready?

635
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,400
And I'm going to ask you this
and you be straight up with me

636
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,200
because of that.
They did Gus.

637
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,100
If they give him two years and
they pulled the plug, or they

638
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:51,700
about to become Tennessee, for
what we saw for almost 15 years

639
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:53,400
after the.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

640
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,400
Absolutely.
They are about to fall into the

641
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,500
Tennessee trap for sure.
If this doesn't work out, they

642
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:05,200
will be in the Tennessee trap.
And thing is, I think he can

643
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,500
coach, but I think it might take
it could take four years.

644
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:12,500
It could take four years or may
not because he may come in there

645
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,000
and say, you're out, you're out,
you're out.

646
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,800
I'm going to recruit well and
that's for four years now, but

647
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,300
I'm going to bring a bunch and I
think he has that ability.

648
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,600
The question is is that if it
doesn't happen in two years

649
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,000
because because of the baggage,
because you hired a coach of

650
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,700
baggage, it's going to be a lot
easier to talk yourself into

651
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:33,100
getting rid of him.
True that.

652
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:36,900
So that's, that's the downside
of hiring a coach with that much

653
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:39,800
baggage.
And that's that fan base, in

654
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,700
general, I'm still underneath, I
mean, look at their basketball

655
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:44,200
coach.
I'll be.

656
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,500
And that's, you know, we're not
comparing the two, but the two

657
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:56,800
last one that had broken so far.
I don't know if any other before

658
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,800
I put the last one on here.
Yeah, I'm doing this slide.

659
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,600
I don't really care.
I mean, sometimes it's just like

660
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:14,700
yeah, screw it.
He's confirming.

661
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:17,700
What we are just about to talk
about and that is that Georgia

662
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:22,900
Tech is going to retain print
Keys as its head coach.

663
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:26,600
Now this wasn't the news as of
Sunday as of Sunday the deal.

664
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,000
Was it look like Willie Fritz
from Tulane was going to get

665
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:36,700
pulled in?
That deal sorted died in to me

666
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:39,400
when I saw that.
I can't take Georgia Tech

667
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,300
seriously because you're going,
you know, say it.

668
00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:44,500
I mean come on you know a little
bit more about Fritz's offense

669
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:47,200
and I do you can kind of see
what it is.

670
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:52,800
So the comparison that I made
was that if you're going to hire

671
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:58,100
a 62 year old head coach, you
need to find more of a Mack

672
00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:02,300
Brown type than a guy that runs
a niche offense.

673
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:06,800
When you're already trying to
break the mold of the guy that

674
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,800
you had previously that ran a
niche offense, you know, and we

675
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,400
can make the arguments that they
probably tried to do too much

676
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,000
too quick with that offense
under Collins, 100%.

677
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,100
Absolutely, but I don't think
that you need to kind of go.

678
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:29,500
The other direction say that,
we're only a school that can run

679
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:32,000
a niche offense.
Now I don't think we're at that

680
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
point with Georgia Tech.
But you know, if you did that,

681
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,900
if you, if you went the Tulane
route, you be even essentially

682
00:43:40,900 --> 00:43:44,800
saying, we only have a three to
Five-Year Plan and that plan is

683
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,900
to remain an itch offense and
not be able to recruit offensive

684
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:53,400
talent to this team and let
unless you're, unless you can

685
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,200
just run the show, the football.
Exactly.

686
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:04,900
Um, I mean, Keith did fine for
and for he beat us, Well, I take

687
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:07,100
that back.
We beat ourselves - just stop.

688
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:14,400
He didn't let his team.
Implode equip, exactly, exactly.

689
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:19,900
Then let it steam quit and and
and he was able to keep them

690
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:24,700
together for that whole game and
was able to make the plays at

691
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:27,000
the end that they need to make
after we shot ourselves in the

692
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,800
foot, very true.
But he's a, he's a, he's a

693
00:44:30,808 --> 00:44:33,500
Georgia Tech Alum, he played
their back.

694
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:38,500
In the believe it was late 1990s
early 2000s when they were a

695
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:44,000
solid program, you know.
He, I read here on familes,

696
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,500
tweet that he was a team captain
there, he coached under saving

697
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:54,400
in Alabama.
I just for him, I mean, he'll be

698
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,000
given four five, six years,
because I don't I don't just see

699
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,600
what he's done this yet.
I don't think they're ever going

700
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,900
to be as bad as they were under
Collins week.

701
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:05,600
I'm still trying to figure out
What went on where Jeff Collins

702
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,700
just fell off a cliff.
But at some point you got to

703
00:45:10,700 --> 00:45:12,200
actually coach, you can just
talk.

704
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,000
Yeah.
It's just like a it's a c-plus

705
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,200
be - higher.
It's nothing great.

706
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,100
It's just steady want to keep
the locker room together of a,

707
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,800
you know, team that went for and
for I mean the most impressive

708
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,800
game to me is what they did
Saturday.

709
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,200
I had that game up and to say
that they hung around with

710
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:35,500
Georgia, almost three quarters.
Like, it was still a competitive

711
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:38,900
football game that's impressive
because of the talent disparity

712
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:42,800
there.
And again, I think for them,

713
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,500
it's like, he's a homegrown guy.
Let's give him five or six

714
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,900
years.
Obviously, he's not going to

715
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:51,100
suck as bad as Collins does, and
we'll move on.

716
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:54,200
Well, obviously he knows how to
put together a game plan and get

717
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,300
the players ready to play a lot
better than Collins not.

718
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:04,000
All right, so Brian of these
remain during openings, He's

719
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,200
list them off, one by one.
Which one interests you the most

720
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,500
of where?
Who gets who you still got

721
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:14,700
Colorado, open Stanford's open,
USF.

722
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:24,400
FAU Tulsa, Tulsa UAB Maddie,
Western Michigan UNLV, which one

723
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:30,300
interests you the most So I've
got a 1, a 0, a 1, B.

724
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:31,500
And then I've got an honorable
man.

725
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:37,800
No no no no, yeah.
All right. 111 is going to be

726
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,600
since Daddy just because they
are going to be a power 5

727
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,600
program, okay.
And I think I think they have

728
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:51,100
the ability from where they're
located and the competition,

729
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:54,300
they're going to be playing, I
think that's gonna going to be a

730
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:56,000
big thing for them.
All right.

731
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,700
I'm going to give you this one
and it's going to shock you.

732
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:02,600
I'm interested to see what
happens in Tulsa.

733
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:10,600
Because I'm kind of interested
to see if they are.

734
00:47:10,700 --> 00:47:14,500
Certain certainly coach, that
could be remain nameless.

735
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,100
Gets that job.
Y'all know?

736
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:19,400
I'm told that I am interested to
see if they will hire him to

737
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,600
essentially come where he grew
up to coach a football team that

738
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,800
really had been a solid meal
program in the last three or

739
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,800
four years had really went
downhill, under Philip

740
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,400
Montgomery, you know I'm
interested for that one.

741
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:37,100
What's your one?
Be just because I got a I got to

742
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:41,800
do a 1 b 2 but I want to see
what happens with Colorado.

743
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,700
Alright alright I think that's
an interesting because they've

744
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:51,500
shown that that's a program
that's kind of highs lows.

745
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,700
Sometimes in the like you can
never really know what to expect

746
00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:58,100
with them making this.
They can get on a they can get

747
00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:00,900
on the run with the right
combination of recruiting and

748
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:04,300
coaching where they can play
with any team in that

749
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,100
conference.
And then they can also look like

750
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:08,800
absolute dog.
It there's just I mean it's all

751
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,400
over the place.
So I feel like who they bring in

752
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,300
is going to, can they bring some
consistency is consistently what

753
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:15,800
they want?
Or are they found with the boom

754
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,900
and bust and looking like a team
that could, you know, Challenge

755
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,600
Oregon or USC, one year?
And then looking like two years

756
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,100
later, look like a complete
dumpster fire couldn't get out

757
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:30,500
of a paper bag.
Wet paper bag.

758
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:35,200
The one I'm interested in my 1,
B is Stanford, all that was

759
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:35,900
silent.
They do.

760
00:48:35,900 --> 00:48:40,500
Those are honorable They should
call Mike Elko up right off the

761
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,100
bat.
Go ahead and call mykel co-op,

762
00:48:42,100 --> 00:48:44,900
you know, they're more, maybe
trying to get out grow up but

763
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:56,900
ACC already get him out of here.
We saw it with, you know, you go

764
00:48:56,900 --> 00:49:00,400
through the years with you.
Whether it's Spurrier or

765
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,200
cutcliffe.
If you get to good coach, they

766
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,700
may not win 10 games every year,
but they're gonna be a goddamn

767
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,000
Thorn in your side.
Come definitely.

768
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,300
All right, one last thing before
we head to break here, Brian.

769
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:16,100
I'm really cool to see as
announced earlier this week,

770
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:22,100
DeAngelo, Hall, D Hall, you know
dvu zone is going into the

771
00:49:22,100 --> 00:49:28,400
Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
That's big really great honor

772
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,900
for him in, you know.
The guy who played close to a

773
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,300
13, 14 years in the league,
obviously big time player at

774
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,100
Tech and now he's getting this
onerous photo of him that you

775
00:49:43,100 --> 00:49:45,300
know you look through I looked
through the day, you know

776
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:47,400
Frank's in there Bruce Smith's
in there.

777
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,800
Frank Lauria Carol Dale amongst
others and probably over the

778
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,600
next few years probably going to
see a lot of Hokies go in there.

779
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,000
Probably starting with D Hall
guys you know essentially porn

780
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,100
or did things in the Steak.
Yeah.

781
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:07,800
Yeah guys that you know,
especially during the the big

782
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,100
run there in the 2000s, this is
kind of the one, you know, the

783
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:13,400
start of that.
So you know, we'll see how many

784
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,000
more kind of following and D
Hall steps here with Abby.

785
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,200
This is the big First Step here,

Very 4D Hall, very good for him.

787
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,900

just us tonight, we are going to

796
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,400
Now back to the episode.
All right, is it Brian?

797
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,600
This is a couple more topics to
hit on tonight.

798
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,600
Let's start.
First of all was announced late

799
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,600
this afternoon.
This was not on our docket and

800
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:07,900
It was announced the all ACC
teams which for Virginia Tech of

801
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:10,800
the first second, and third
teens, there were none.

802
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,200
Unfortunately, there were six
honorable mentions.

803
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,800
You know, I think, I think me
and you kind of agreed probably

804
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,300
Dax should have at least got on
one.

805
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,900
You could argue 13 for Dax for
sure you could argue hardcore,

806
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,300
but maybe it's just a, snapshot
of kind of where this team was

807
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:37,900
talent-wise.
And for some folks who maybe did

808
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:42,900
not believe the talent was,
there was a disparity there,

809
00:51:43,900 --> 00:51:48,300
this usually tells it because
you know, Usually you get at

810
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:51,700
least a handful on the team,
regardless of your team tracker.

811
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:55,000
Usually give it like a couple
third teamers even when you're

812
00:51:56,100 --> 00:52:01,200
in the doldrums, right.
So you know I think if Garbutt

813
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,700
had a played 12 games, he
probably is a third teamer as

814
00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:09,900
well.
So you know you make me ask a

815
00:52:09,908 --> 00:52:13,700
question on that one.
Obviously, you know we played

816
00:52:13,700 --> 00:52:16,700
one fewer game, you know, it's
one less day.

817
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,100
Appoint to put out their true
relative, the competition.

818
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,000
So that has to be taken to
account and like I said, with

819
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,200
garbage sitting out, you know,
another to, you know, that

820
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,200
that's a pretty big and playing
hurt.

821
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,800
Honestly, for for half of those
that he did play in.

822
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:37,800
So I think Garbutt had when he
when he played, when he was

823
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,200
healthy and playing it to his
potential was definitely at

824
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:45,300
least a third teamer, but, you
know, Miss to didn't play one

825
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:48,600
because of the cancellation.
And so that hurt him.

826
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:53,700
Yeah, I think of Caleb had a
stronger, final two games.

827
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:56,500
You know, he'd be in the compass
conversation, probably 413 as

828
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:59,900
well.
Yeah, but again none and it's

829
00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:04,000
the first time I think since
night thing, David teal said

830
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,400
1990 32 years ago, that there
were Tech had none.

831
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,800
So, you know, we got a long ways
to go, we know that.

832
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,600
So it's going to be really
interesting how it goes and it

833
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,200
Tufflips to our next subject
here.

834
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,600
And we're going to talk about
the portal.

835
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:24,700
And the one thing I know I got a
chance to listen to the presser

836
00:53:24,700 --> 00:53:29,500
with Brent pry.
And basically he mentioned that

837
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,000
between a plethora things,
they're going to be having

838
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:39,500
conversations with roughly 35 to
35 players about different

839
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:45,900
options, they have and you know,
we know there's going to be some

840
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:48,000
draft stuff there.
Be about guys, if they should

841
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,700
come back into the portal and we
kind of already, I think we

842
00:53:52,700 --> 00:53:56,400
figured out there was one
already taken place before the

843
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,800
end of the day Monday and that
is DJ Harvey.

844
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,600
You know, the four star kid out
of California.

845
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,600
Cornerback has already put his
name in the portal.

846
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,800
Yeah, we saw his role diminish
to close out the year.

847
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,500
Some of that was how well
delaying came on, in the back

848
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:19,700
half of the season.
I think some of that was, you

849
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:22,900
know, some of the things that
Tucker was doing in practice

850
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:27,300
that, you know, looking at that
role as best punt returner.

851
00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:29,100
So it was just a combination of
factors.

852
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,900
And, you know, DJ Harvey's, a
talented kid.

853
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:34,900
I know he's going to land
somewhere and and make a splash,

854
00:54:34,900 --> 00:54:38,400
but you look like, just how the,
how the things were trending.

855
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,800
You know, staying sticking with
the Hokies probably wasn't going

856
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,400
to be his best opportunity to
see the field a lot.

857
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,600
Come next year. 100% again
sometimes you've got that you're

858
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,600
going to see kids that they got
to do what's best for them to

859
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,200
get on the field and sometimes
that writing is on the wall.

860
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:01,300
And it's, you know, and I'm sure
you'll have some kids that will

861
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:02,500
say, you know, I'm going to
stay.

862
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:06,900
I think I can beat these guys.
I know don't don't talk to coach

863
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:08,500
Robbie.
Confident about this.

864
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:10,800
It fires him up.
Every time a kid enters the

865
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:17,000
portal.
But we sit here and it Has her

866
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,200
death.
It hurts step for the love of

867
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:24,500
solutely ever looked up a little
bit, but again, you're talking

868
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:28,600
about a kid that is legitimately
across country from family and

869
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,900
it's one of those things where
how tough is it to say?

870
00:55:31,900 --> 00:55:34,700
Well, I'm really going to be
fighting to get into the too

871
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:38,900
deep next year.
Yeah.

872
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,400
It's he's essentially scrapping
to keep a spot somewhere in the

873
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:48,800
2D, even if you have the
attrition of of Chapman, right?

874
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:54,600
So that's kind of the situation
he was looking at and then

875
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,100
you've got a big class of dbe's
coming in as well.

876
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:02,900
This year, they class and you we
see we saw Mansoor already.

877
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,600
We saw cam Johnson play.
Yeah, the other piece is now And

878
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,000
maybe this is one of the
factors.

879
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:12,400
Dorian strong technically.
Got a red shirt this year.

880
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,900
Yeah, so Dorian strong will not
be out after next year.

881
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,600
He has potentially two years of
Eligibility.

882
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,300
That is that something that
shaped the decision as well?

883
00:56:23,500 --> 00:56:26,000
There's so many things and you
know, you don't want to

884
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,500
speculate but you just kind of
try to read the tea leaves.

885
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,100
You know, any, all these kids
are going to be entering the

886
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:34,100
portal and leaving Tech, you
know, you tip your hat and you

887
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:37,600
hope the best for them.
Absolutely what happens?

888
00:56:37,900 --> 00:56:39,700
Yeah.
I mean you know when we say one

889
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:43,000
so he always a hokie that's
that's truly what it's about.

890
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,800
So I mean we wish DJ nothing but
the best hopefully lands on his

891
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,600
feet somewhere that can can
maximize his talents and give

892
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:57,300
him the opportunity to shine.
It's 100% And I saw something I

893
00:56:57,300 --> 00:57:01,700
lost the Tweet just a few
minutes ago, but one of Norfolk

894
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:07,900
State's coaches put out there
like essentially, in the lashes

895
00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:13,700
hand Full of days, close to
2,000 players and all levels

896
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:19,300
have entered the portal.
That's wild to think that many

897
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:24,200
people have entered the portal
in just, this short amount of

898
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,100
time as the season is wrapping
up.

899
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:30,700
And, you know, it's one of those
things for live, those kids.

900
00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:34,300
I'm hoping that the degree is in
hand or the degree will be in

901
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:38,800
Hand by April, because we.
So, last year, there are a lot

902
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,600
of kids that did not get homes.
And when that happens, I mean,

903
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,500
you feel for them in a lot of
out of ways.

904
00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:51,200
But, you know, you've got to
make the right decision for you.

905
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,800
But, you know, sometimes, you
know, hey, you should get in the

906
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,500
pool.
You can you can play elsewhere

907
00:57:57,500 --> 00:58:01,500
and like reality like, you know,
you need to work on getting your

908
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,100
Collegiate degree.
Not necessarily don't think

909
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:10,400
football seriously or put it s.
Yeah, but there.

910
00:58:11,700 --> 00:58:14,400
You know, you don't want to say,
don't chase your dream, but in

911
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,700
some ways, you've got to have
good counselors.

912
00:58:17,700 --> 00:58:22,800
And that's where you hope, he
coaches of a team are really

913
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,200
thinking about what's the best
interest of the player?

914
00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:27,000
Not, what's the best interest of
the program?

915
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Because so many people get
screwed.

916
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,800
Yeah, I think you see a lot of
problems with players trying to

917
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,900
make lateral or quasi lateral
moves, right?

918
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:42,300
So guys that are like dropping
down a division or a level Tend

919
00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:45,400
to find a home guys that have
shown the ability to jump up a

920
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,000
level 10 to find a home.
And then guys, kind of at the

921
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,300
top end that are jumping in the
portal.

922
00:58:52,700 --> 00:58:55,300
Usually find a spot on a blue
blood or a contender somebody

923
00:58:55,300 --> 00:58:58,900
that's kind of in win.
Now mode, it says guys that are

924
00:58:59,300 --> 00:59:03,800
coming from a mid-tier program
and trying to go to another be a

925
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,600
program that often kind of slip
through the cracks, right?

926
00:59:08,500 --> 00:59:11,900
It's very true.
It's very, very true.

927
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,700
So again it's going to happen
more probably.

928
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:21,200
By the time we get back in a few
weeks, which we're kind of

929
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,300
thinking, we're going to work
on.

930
00:59:22,300 --> 00:59:26,200
Who's gone?
Where do we need to fill other

931
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,900
people in the roster to fill,
but it's probably gonna be a lot

932
00:59:29,900 --> 00:59:32,000
bigger.
And maybe we have some, some

933
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:37,100
ends as well as outs during that
point in time, but we'll see but

934
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:41,000
it is that season and I'm sure
Brian, you probably were like

935
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,700
me, you saw some kid, hit the
portal and you immediately went

936
00:59:43,700 --> 00:59:47,500
up and looked up his success
look like, did he play a lot?

937
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,900
So it's an offensive.
Lineman was it was he recruited

938
00:59:49,900 --> 00:59:56,600
previously by our current staff?
Yes, and so many ways and I'm

939
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,700
sure there's going to be some
that signals.

940
00:59:58,700 --> 01:00:01,800
And some tea leaves out there is
this goes on for the next few

941
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,000
weeks.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it

942
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
because we kind of get a little
bit of a bump on the, on the

943
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
recruiting front from a portal.
Spective just as we kind of go

944
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,000
into, you know, early signing
day especially with early

945
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,600
Signing Day beat later in
December.

946
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,200
That normally is we get a little
bit of a, of a rise in the

947
01:00:20,207 --> 01:00:22,400
portal it, you know, ahead of
that this year.

948
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,000
So, that's going to be nice.
100%.

949
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,800
Let's go real quick brown.
Before we talk about

950
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,200
championship week and all the
games we're going to take a look

951
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:36,000
at here and let's talk about The
playoff rankings from about

952
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,100
number 15, all the way up and
Brian.

953
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,300
Let's go through this.
And let's just say if we haven't

954
01:00:43,900 --> 01:00:45,300
already.
Okay, yep.

955
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:48,300
All right.
Number one, Georgia any issue.

956
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,900
No, I don't hear you.
Number two, Michigan, no

957
01:00:52,900 --> 01:00:54,000
problem.
No problem.

958
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,100
T.
See you at 3:00?

959
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,700
I'm fine with it.
I guess you could put the USC

960
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:01,900
there and I just I'd be just as
fine with it USC.

961
01:01:01,900 --> 01:01:03,900
For I'm fine with it.
I'm more More impressed.

962
01:01:03,900 --> 01:01:07,900
U.s. see how they one Saturday
night with more of a controlled

963
01:01:07,900 --> 01:01:11,700
offense, which we have not ever
seen from Lincoln Riley.

964
01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:14,800
Usually linked, and Riley wants
to score in 90 seconds.

965
01:01:15,100 --> 01:01:18,400
Every touchdown.
They had was three minutes or

966
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,400
more Saturday, then later name,
which was that's impressive.

967
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,800
It showed that they can play a
pace of play, they will need to

968
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,400
play in the college football
playoff.

969
01:01:27,900 --> 01:01:30,500
Damn, right.
All right, there were five of us

970
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:33,200
take twenty one point loss in
the horseshoe.

971
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,600
Worst loss in a long time there
to Michigan.

972
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,600
I think 86 any issue, Bill me in
five though.

973
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:42,100
No.
Because of the teams that are

974
01:01:42,100 --> 01:01:44,000
still behind them, that we're
about to talk about her.

975
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,800
Hey, this is where it gets on
for Friday night here.

976
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:49,400
Hey Brian.
Number six is Alabama.

977
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:55,200
Back them up to what number You
got to at least put them behind

978
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:56,700
wherever the fuck.
You have Tennessee.

979
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,400
Tennessee, 7.
So they need to be eight.

980
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:06,900
Unless you move it unless you're
moving Tennessee up, Penn State

981
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:13,000
takes a bump goes up to number
eight, that's fine with that.

982
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,000
I have a little issue with this
one though.

983
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:19,800
Um, Clemson.
Only dropped a 1 after a loss.

984
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,800
To number nine.
I did.

985
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,900
I don't get that I put them
behind K-State.

986
01:02:26,900 --> 01:02:28,600
I might even put them behind
Utah.

987
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:31,900
Yeah, there's a couple things
they could be behind.

988
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:34,300
I don't think you can go as low
as we're gonna look at FSU.

989
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,100
But Dem only dropping one, just
kind of just a follow me.

990
01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:46,800
Kansas State, 10 new issue there
be two solid, Kansas team the

991
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,600
next to where I kind of have an
issue.

992
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,800
So, Utah beat the absolute dog
crap out of Colorado.

993
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:58,500
Like Everybody has this year and
they moved up three spots.

994
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:05,500
Washington beat a better
Washington State team and Utah's

995
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:09,800
11 Washington's.
Now 12 Washington moved up one

996
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:16,300
spot I don't get that
whatsoever.

997
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:18,900
I know, Utah's will be playing
the championship game.

998
01:03:18,900 --> 01:03:22,500
I feel like that's the only
reason is there, you know?

999
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,200
Basically, trying to get it, the
highest matchup possible.

1000
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:34,200
All right, last three here,
Florida State at 13 LSU at 14.

1001
01:03:35,500 --> 01:03:39,100
And this is really great story.
Oregon State at 15.

1002
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:43,800
What we talked about last week?
Brian, that in the future, when

1003
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,900
there are teams were right
there, right there.

1004
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,600
Hey listen, beat your rival,
your likely in the playoff.

1005
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,200
Yep.
That happened at Oregon, State's

1006
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,100
on field, they knock off organ,
organs out of the Pac-12

1007
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:03,100
championship and if this was a
12 team playoff, they're gone,

1008
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:04,600
they're done.
Yep.

1009
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:09,400
And why those games are going to
matter more and I think two lane

1010
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,700
is now 17 to laying on a cusp of
getting, it's either going to be

1011
01:04:13,700 --> 01:04:17,500
them for UCF to get a new year 6
volt.

1012
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:22,200
So they're those rankings and
again, again, I just look

1013
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:27,600
through it. names of 12, every
time and You throw two lane in

1014
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:31,900
there would be two lane Georgia.
Michigan, TCU USC and Clemson,

1015
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,500
leaving, Ohio state, Alabama,
Tennessee, Penn State, Kansas

1016
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:38,700
State, and probably Washington,
or FS.

1017
01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:43,100
You would sneak in the back door
in Twilight.

1018
01:04:43,100 --> 01:04:44,800
Last week's going to be
important to buy this week's

1019
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,300
going to be important and let's
turn on the big screeners Brian

1020
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:49,200
and wrap this episode up
tonight.

1021
01:04:49,700 --> 01:04:53,800
Ten Championship Games starting
Friday night running through

1022
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:58,300
Saturday Saturday.
Could be one of those days where

1023
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,100
if you're going to do something,
do it really early after the

1024
01:05:02,100 --> 01:05:06,200
United States, win over Iran
today and going to the group of

1025
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,200
what is not group league.
Knockout play knockout knockout

1026
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:16,600
stage for the first time in 28
years, it was in the states and

1027
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:27,900
they're playing Dutch.
On Saturday morning at 9:00.

1028
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:33,300
Yeah, so that game backed up by
a bunch of Championship Games by

1029
01:05:33,300 --> 01:05:37,800
Friday night games.
If you have Christmas shopping

1030
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,200
to do, you might want to wait
till Sunday.

1031
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,700
Just saying, folks, just saying,
well, let's start it here,

1032
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,000
Friday night.
The first one is going to the

1033
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,200
conference USA championship to
Texas.

1034
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,300
Teen North Texas vs UTSA.
The line is eight and a half,

1035
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,100
choose a lie.
Line, choose a winner, choose,

1036
01:05:56,100 --> 01:05:58,000
whatever you got from.
Will you think on this?

1037
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:09,500
I'm going to go.
I think I'm going to go with UT

1038
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,600
San Antonio here I'm with you
too.

1039
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,200
I feel like that program in the
last few years it's just they're

1040
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,700
just consistent just being a
consistent program they have a

1041
01:06:21,707 --> 01:06:24,500
thing as an old.
Texas high school football, head

1042
01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:29,600
coach down there.
I'm with you on that one.

1043
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:32,300
I don't know enough about the
spread.

1044
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:33,800
I ain't there.
Been that one.

1045
01:06:34,300 --> 01:06:37,700
Yeah I'm going money line here.
Honey, why don't lie?

1046
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:45,200
All right, Friday night Pack 12
Championship, Utah versus USC.

1047
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,100
USC took a while to find the
been line on this one because

1048
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:50,700
you talked about a few injured
players.

1049
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:58,000
USC only a 3 point favorite in
this game and I'm sitting here

1050
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,400
I'll watch that first game
beginning to end and it was a

1051
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,000
classic and again the only
reason Utah.

1052
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,800
One is add the stones to go for
two point conversion late in the

1053
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,800
game.
Yep I think this one's going to

1054
01:07:11,808 --> 01:07:15,500
be a little bit different.
I think USC's going to win this

1055
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:17,000
one.
I think they're going to not

1056
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,400
Sicily when it handily I think
they're going to keep you taught

1057
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,100
at an arm's length somewhere
between 7 and 10 points.

1058
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:27,500
The entire game similar to Notre
Dame and you talk is similar to

1059
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:28,800
Notre Dame.
They like to run it.

1060
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:36,700
They like to play good defense,
I'm going to say, USC 34?

1061
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:43,500
You talk 27, I like you as see
to win.

1062
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:50,300
And cover this one, I think that
this USC team Now is better

1063
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:53,600
equipped to handle this game
than they were the last go-round

1064
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:57,900
between what we saw against
Notre, Dame, how they've kind of

1065
01:07:57,908 --> 01:08:02,100
closed out the season.
I think it's going to be, I

1066
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:04,700
think your background, I'm going
3124.

1067
01:08:04,700 --> 01:08:06,600
So I think that it's a full
touch down there.

1068
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,400
Alrighty, so that wraps up
Friday, night's game.

1069
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,300
There's only two.
We should be three, but that is

1070
01:08:14,300 --> 01:08:17,500
what it is.
All right, the max in, on

1071
01:08:17,500 --> 01:08:22,500
Saturday afternoon, it's one of
the twelve o'clock kicks Toledo

1072
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:26,100
versus Ohio Toledo, a one and a
half Point favorite, who do you

1073
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:27,100
got on this one?
Braun?

1074
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,200
Man, I have not watched enough,
my action this year to have a

1075
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,200
great feel about this, but I'm
gonna, I'm gonna go with Toledo.

1076
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,700
It's our own fault.
Do we do Tuesday night time?

1077
01:08:39,700 --> 01:08:43,200
This while we're talking, it's
our own fault, we're sabotaging

1078
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,600
ourselves.
We are man, we missed out on the

1079
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,600
Max and every, every, every game
and every game, right?

1080
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,700
You said Toledo?
Yeah, I'm going to lead.

1081
01:08:51,700 --> 01:08:55,399
Oh, I'm going not so fast.
My friend, I will take those

1082
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,600
points.
I think Ohio wins this game.

1083
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:05,200
Ohio, 7 and 1 in conference
nine, and three overall, and you

1084
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:09,899
know, their losses this year or
Penn State, Iowa State and Kent

1085
01:09:09,899 --> 01:09:17,500
State, And they're currently own
a seven-game winning streak.

1086
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:22,399
So give me a Ohio to when that
one's alright.

1087
01:09:22,500 --> 01:09:27,800
The other big time 12:00 game is
the Big 12 and it's going to be

1088
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:34,500
K State vs TCU TCU Aslam slit
them, two and a half Point

1089
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:36,800
favorite.
And, you know, if we take a look

1090
01:09:36,899 --> 01:09:41,100
earlier this year, obviously,
the Big 12, Everybody Plays,

1091
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:46,200
everybody obviously TCU one that
meeting earlier in the year and

1092
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,600
tc1 that meeting early in the
year.

1093
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,700
Well, the, you know, pretty
pretty balanced game.

1094
01:09:52,700 --> 01:09:56,600
They won about 10 points.
The game wasn't Fort Worth this

1095
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,800
game is in Dallas.
So, you know, a pseudo home

1096
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,400
field advantage there.
For TCU.

1097
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:12,300
The two and a half scares me
because Kansas takes that type

1098
01:10:12,300 --> 01:10:18,100
of team that can grind right.
And I still worry about TCU

1099
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:23,500
getting them to grind Fest.
But I think from TC what we've

1100
01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:29,300
seen all years, they answer I'll
lay the two and a half, I'll

1101
01:10:29,300 --> 01:10:35,000
take TCU to lock up a playoff.
Yeah, I think TCU is going to

1102
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,300
lock this up, pretty handily.
I don't think it's going to be a

1103
01:10:40,308 --> 01:10:43,600
10-point game, but I think it's
going to be a touchdown or more

1104
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:47,700
game.
So, okay, I like TCU in this one

1105
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,700
again, I think the between the
de facto home game, the fact

1106
01:10:54,700 --> 01:10:58,300
that they've, I think they got
Their best shot from K-State

1107
01:10:58,300 --> 01:11:00,400
last time.
I think they take care of

1108
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:05,800
business and just kind of
knowing how that first game went

1109
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:11,200
is TC was down 11 and a half, it
was 2817, they shut out.

1110
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,100
Kansas State in the second half
and then proceeded to score. 21

1111
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:17,000
unanswered, to win that game
about 10.

1112
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,900
So kind of one of those weird
flummox games, all right?

1113
01:11:21,500 --> 01:11:24,900
And the next one is the Sun
Belt.

1114
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:26,800
Brian, its Coastal it's versus
true.

1115
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:30,300
Troy is a 10-point.
Favorite Coastal.

1116
01:11:30,300 --> 01:11:33,800
Got absolutely shellacked up in
Harrisonburg last weekend.

1117
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:39,200
Yes, they did.
I don't know the whole story

1118
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:44,000
where they playing everybody,
the game did not matter, JM you

1119
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:50,300
could not win anything from them
and Troy's had a hell of a

1120
01:11:50,300 --> 01:11:53,100
season.
Troy's had a hell of a season in

1121
01:11:53,100 --> 01:12:02,300
the sun belt, Troy's 10 and 2.
Ten and two, the only losses Ole

1122
01:12:02,300 --> 01:12:09,700
Miss and app state that was
appstate early in the season 9

1123
01:12:09,700 --> 01:12:11,600
of a trucking.
Yeah, when they were old truck,

1124
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:16,600
do you got man Troy always
sneaks up on people.

1125
01:12:18,900 --> 01:12:21,200
That's I feel like that, that's
what happens.

1126
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,400
I'm going to take Troy, I'm
going to take Troy and the

1127
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:35,000
points, okay?
Um, I feel like Tim's just too

1128
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,800
big too late Coastal ale to
Coast.

1129
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:44,300
So I know this game is I believe
it is down in Troy and you know,

1130
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,600
it's just one of those that
shellacking doesn't Write to me,

1131
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,900
Coastal doesn't play like that
you know, coastal's one of those

1132
01:12:51,900 --> 01:12:54,500
teams that can hang with just
about anybody in the country and

1133
01:12:54,500 --> 01:12:57,100
to tell me they got just
absolutely pounded.

1134
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,400
I don't get it.
Maybe she's just playing the

1135
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,400
state of Virginia team because
they got pounded two times this

1136
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,700
year both by the state of
Virginia I think Troy wins.

1137
01:13:05,700 --> 01:13:08,200
I think it's closer.
I think it's close enough to

1138
01:13:08,208 --> 01:13:10,100
where I'll take ten and Coastal
Carolina.

1139
01:13:11,700 --> 01:13:14,600
All right, Mountain West
Conference.

1140
01:13:14,700 --> 01:13:20,000
Fresno State vs Boise.
I have not watched any Mountain

1141
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,300
West this year.
I'm going to be just very

1142
01:13:22,300 --> 01:13:25,600
honest, no Mountain, West
whatsoever.

1143
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:31,700
So I'm just going to throw a
shot in the dark and say Boise

1144
01:13:31,700 --> 01:13:39,200
later points.
When in doubt, pick Boise, that

1145
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,100
that's a good philosophy.
I'm going to take it here.

1146
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,000
We're both taking Boise.
All right, let's get to these

1147
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:49,800
afternoon games, the AAC.
UCF versus two lane to Lane a

1148
01:13:49,808 --> 01:13:53,900
three-point favorite.
What you think on this one?

1149
01:13:53,900 --> 01:13:56,500
Brian Gus Malzahn versus Willie
Fritz.

1150
01:13:56,500 --> 01:13:58,400
I think it's going to be down in
the sugar.

1151
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:04,700
Don't, when the Sugar Dome in
the Superdome we got so, if

1152
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,200
Fritz would have been at Georgia
Tech out of absolutely taking

1153
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:14,500
UCF here but since that Chatters
off the table, I'm going to ride

1154
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:18,100
the Tulane wave.
He's keeps riding the wavy, he's

1155
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:21,000
riding that wave, and I'm riding
with you this time.

1156
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,000
So it's either going to go down
in flames or riding it together.

1157
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,300
Tulane lay the points.
I think it's going to be a good

1158
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:32,600
game though.
I think those two offenses, make

1159
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,900
it interesting and maybe two
lanes playing in the Sugar Bowl

1160
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,600
in their home stadium, and just
a few short weeks here, all

1161
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:46,300
right Ron SEC Championship LSU
versus Georgia.

1162
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,500
Georgia.
All but locked in, regardless,

1163
01:14:49,500 --> 01:14:54,400
what happens in this game?
That they are a 17 and a half

1164
01:14:54,400 --> 01:15:00,900
Point favorite LSU, just got who
traced down at the, you know,

1165
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:07,500
the 100 million dollars, man,
house with Jimbo.

1166
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:14,700
What do you think on this one?
You know what, I like Georgia to

1167
01:15:14,700 --> 01:15:18,300
win this one.
It's at 17 and a half is given

1168
01:15:18,300 --> 01:15:21,900
me pause.
I think it's a little too rich

1169
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:27,700
for my blood, so if it was money
line, I'm taking Georgia but

1170
01:15:27,700 --> 01:15:29,300
I'll take LSU against the
spread.

1171
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:40,100
All right.
This is a tough one because that

1172
01:15:40,100 --> 01:15:46,000
is a lot of lot of points.
A lot of points to just lay.

1173
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:52,500
And we've seen that lets you
keep up, but also, I didn't get

1174
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:54,400
to watch that game.
I couldn't tell you how it took

1175
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,400
place, but I remember walking
back into the man cave on

1176
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:03,400
Saturday night and looking over
at the A&M LSU game in wondering

1177
01:16:03,900 --> 01:16:06,100
how the hell are they losing
them by 17?

1178
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:09,300
If you told me that was a 3
years, Seven-point game, I get

1179
01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:10,800
it.
Jimbo got his guys up.

1180
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,900
The crowd went crazy, it
affected LSU, they were looking

1181
01:16:13,900 --> 01:16:20,700
forward but I don't, I'm gonna
actually take Georgia and lay

1182
01:16:20,700 --> 01:16:22,900
the points.
I think they lay a freaking ass

1183
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:29,000
whipping on LSU.
Okay, maybe don't like 4221, I

1184
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,300
really do.
All right, two more games here

1185
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:35,400
Brown.
The next is Big Ten, the Big Ten

1186
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:41,200
wheel of Destiny, the West,
which seriously I think the Big

1187
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,200
Ten West may have been worse
than the coastal this year, in

1188
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,600
all seriousness.
There wasn't a good team out

1189
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,700
there and that's Purdue takes on
Michigan at 16 and a half.

1190
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,800
Michigan coming off the blowout
win.

1191
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,900
I mean produce, always got a
good offense but the way

1192
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:00,100
Michigan's lines are playing
right now.

1193
01:17:00,100 --> 01:17:03,600
Give me Michigan.
If this thing was 20 at Lake 20,

1194
01:17:04,100 --> 01:17:07,400
give me Michigan.
The line is 16 and a half.

1195
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,200
Yeah, I'm taking Michigan all
the way here.

1196
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,000
I don't think this one's really
close.

1197
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,600
Michigan is hit a different
level than I thought they could

1198
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:21,700
reach this year and we'll see if
they can continue writing that

1199
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,900
going forward, but I don't think
there's any reason.

1200
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,700
Reason to bet against them right
now, after what we saw the new

1201
01:17:27,700 --> 01:17:30,000
to Ohio State, not at all.
All right.

1202
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,700
Last one here obviously, the ACC
Championship where UNC takes on.

1203
01:17:34,700 --> 01:17:37,700
Clemson.
Clemson is a seven and a half

1204
01:17:37,700 --> 01:17:39,900
Point favorite.
Brian, what are you thinking on

1205
01:17:39,900 --> 01:17:43,400
this one?
You know what?

1206
01:17:45,100 --> 01:17:48,500
Both of these teams kind of
limping across the Finish Line.

1207
01:17:49,900 --> 01:17:54,700
It's really a weird, weird point
to be in because I have no faith

1208
01:17:54,700 --> 01:17:58,600
in either of these teams to do
what I think they're capable of

1209
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,700
true.
But Clemson has the better

1210
01:18:00,700 --> 01:18:02,300
defense.
I'm taking Clemson.

1211
01:18:03,100 --> 01:18:05,300
All right, you're right.
Clemson does have the better

1212
01:18:05,300 --> 01:18:10,400
defense, but it gave up some
points last week and the offense

1213
01:18:10,500 --> 01:18:15,900
looked discombobulated in.
I do not Think they can turn

1214
01:18:15,900 --> 01:18:19,900
that in a week and I don't think
Davos going to come off DJ

1215
01:18:19,900 --> 01:18:24,400
maybe, if he had the nerve and
go with the Freshman, I don't

1216
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,800
know who wins the game, but the
way these teams are both

1217
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,500
playing, I don't think anybody's
blowing out anybody.

1218
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:33,500
And in that case, I'll take
Carolina, give me the points.

1219
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,500
I don't know who's going to win
the game, but I'll take Carolina

1220
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,900
fair.
All right, Brian anything break

1221
01:18:40,900 --> 01:18:45,500
in the last few minutes here.
Nothing that I think we should

1222
01:18:45,500 --> 01:18:48,800
really talk about.
I think we're clear, man.

1223
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,100
I think we're clear.
What in the hell?

1224
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,100
Well, while I'm looking at that,
that is going to wrap up this
