10
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,200
It's been spinning.
Another.
11
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,500
Great week another week off of
work, but we call them work with
12
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:24,800
a lot more work.
I'm no, you're doing more or at
13
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,600
least somewhat equal amount of
work, despite not working.
14
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,300
Meanwhile, I'm over here, I'm
back in the office for the first
15
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:39,300
time, since March of last year,
only this week and then also
16
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:44,100
starting Masters Masters classes
for the semester today.
17
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:48,000
It's been a A full day I
finished up with that about 10
18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,500
minutes before we jumped on
here.
19
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,200
So nice.
How was the commute in from
20
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,100
Mechanicsville downtown?
It's not bad by new parking
21
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,900
spot, has cut 10 minutes off my
walk-in combined with my
22
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,800
commute.
So I'm saving 10 minutes now.
23
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,900
Wait a second.
Did they put you on the side of
24
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:05,700
the river?
I'm on this side of the river
25
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,000
when I'm, no, I'm no longer on
Mayo Island.
26
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:14,400
I am now at the train station.
So you're moving up in the world
27
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,000
down there then.
Yeah man, I'm good.
28
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:21,100
I've got the Primo spots now
that is absolutely sweet man.
29
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,600
And me, I'm just doing me
hanging out with the kid having
30
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,200
a good time much-needed.
Much-needed, time.
31
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,900
And have a great time with her
but it is work.
32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,900
It is work from 5:30 a.m. to
when the wife gets home and but
33
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,900
it's been good, you know, not
many companies, give that you
34
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,400
know, parental leave.
I got a month ago.
35
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,700
It's all Awesome.
I'm going to take a another week
36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,800
and then after Labor, Day back
to the normal grind, and man
37
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:58,400
looking at hokey football, we
have a lot to cover tonight.
38
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Last week with breast pick six
reviews.
39
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,900
Awesome, awesome time with Tim
we spent some time with him
40
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,500
before and after got me even
height for the season.
41
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:12,300
But tonight what we're looking
at, folks are two big topics.
42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,100
We're going to talk about the
alliance announcement.
43
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Yesterday with some people are
clowning on some people saying
44
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,500
it wasn't an announcement.
I got some different views from
45
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:26,700
those two, and then we are going
to give our season preview
46
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,000
record.
Do not take this to Vegas or any
47
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,800
sports adequate might lose
money.
48
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,200
Thank you to Vegas.
I like my pics mu.
49
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,300
This is all Pixar.
For entertainment purposes, only
50
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:43,800
lock it up.
You cannot.
51
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,400
Let's start it out.
We're gonna we're gonna start a
52
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,800
sort out with the, I don't know,
bro, what do you call this?
53
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Let's just call this the
depressing opening.
54
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,400
And let's start with really sad
news from last week.
55
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:03,200
A manual Belmar.
Has to retire, you know, what do
56
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,400
you think, Ronnie?
You played football in.
57
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,500
This guy has to stop before.
Essentially, it's over for him.
58
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,900
Yeah, and I mean, I had to do
something similar for different
59
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:17,700
reasons, so, I mean, it sucks.
Anytime that you still have
60
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,100
eligibility, like, if your
yourself, you'd still be
61
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:24,200
playing, but something else kind
of takes that away from you.
62
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,500
So that aspect of it, always
always.
63
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
It's big time and I feel for
him.
64
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,900
I mean he bled maroon and orange
when he went out on that field
65
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,400
man.
And you know, I felt like he was
66
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,500
starting to come into his own a
little bit towards the end of
67
00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:43,200
last season wanted to see if he
was able to take a step this
68
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,000
season, but with some of those
the concussions and everything
69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
else going on towards the end of
the season, it just looks like
70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,400
he was never able to get back to
to where he needed to be to
71
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,300
play, so unfortunate for him,
but hats off to him.
72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
We'll miss him out there on the
field this year.
73
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,600
Absolutely, I'm hats off to him.
Hats off to him for also, trying
74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,100
it to give it a try and fall
Camp, one more time and then
75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,700
realize where he was he couldn't
do it.
76
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200
There are people out there that
I'm sure would have went through
77
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,200
it.
But obviously, for him, it was a
78
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,200
look down the road in 20 years
since I want to say, when we are
79
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
in our life and we got a wife
and kids and there's going to be
80
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,300
potential consequences down the
road for the Hokies.
81
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,900
Definitely hurts defensive in
you know him gone Alec Bryant
82
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:36,600
gone, Robert wooden gone and
that's big.
83
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,700
You know, we were we were hoping
for Belmar then you know you got
84
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:47,500
a healthy Garbutt back, probably
having a first two lines where
85
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:51,400
you felt pretty good about even
if you weren't necessarily
86
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,800
jumping for joy.
Now, that gets a little bit
87
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,400
sketchy heading into the season.
First line, not not too
88
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,000
concerned about, but kind of
that, that fourth and fifth DN
89
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,800
is where you start seeing a
little bit of.
90
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:12,100
We feel good about Jalen
Griffin, we haven't seen as much
91
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,300
with the question is Cole
stretch Carroll one of these
92
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,900
younger guys, do they take a
prominent role and I think you
93
00:06:18,907 --> 00:06:23,200
know, we're ten days from seeing
that but as far as Belmar goes,
94
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
that man will be forever
remembered for getting on that
95
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,500
ball.
UVA game to extend the streaks,
96
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,500
both ways.
He was there, he got it and you
97
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,500
know, I think there was a
picture of him.
98
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:39,600
Somebody put it on Twitter, it
was a picture of him holding the
99
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:43,000
ball and you could just see the
UVA fans are the faces were
100
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,300
like, oh God.
No, not again, not again, but
101
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,600
Emmanuel Belmar.
Best of luck to you and whatever
102
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,900
you do.
I am sure you're going to do
103
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,700
great things, whatever, Walk of
Life takes you.
104
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:55,800
All right.
Poor sad news.
105
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,900
We're starting all sad because
you You know, we got to get out
106
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,500
of the way early.
I can't make it in today.
107
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:06,300
Xavier Simmons D commits.
Some people said they had known
108
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:10,900
about this for months weeks.
Nothing I don't ever remember
109
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,100
seeing anything.
But again, I'm also got three
110
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,100
kids.
I was running around like
111
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,600
chicken head copped off.
You did a position group, I
112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,900
think we're okay.
It sucks losing because he's an
113
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,800
all-around athlete.
Yep, it's not like a crippling
114
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,900
position.
Where we have no one coming in
115
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,800
or no one already on roster of
talent.
116
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:36,600
Yeah, I mean I've heard things
like family had friend or
117
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,100
acquaintance on coaching staff
there You shot.
118
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:45,000
So it could be something related
to that, but it's still a big
119
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,900
loss for the Hokies.
You can't spend it any other
120
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,600
way.
This was probably our, I'd say,
121
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,700
number two, number three, that
recruit for this cycle and you
122
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:59,000
know, losing a player of that of
that caliber, you know,
123
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,300
composite borderline for Star, 4
Star by 24/7.
124
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,000
I mean, you can't just say, oh,
that's not gonna make a
125
00:08:06,008 --> 00:08:07,300
difference.
It's definitely going to make a
126
00:08:07,308 --> 00:08:09,900
difference, especially the long
Run there.
127
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:15,200
So definitely sucks losing out
on on Xavier Simmons and hurts.
128
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,900
Some of our case that were
trying to make against the, the
129
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:21,100
other people in the ACC, we went
into North Carolina and got one
130
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:24,300
and now, we don't.
So yeah, there's, there's that
131
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:29,800
element of it to now.
He didn't go to UNC vote, but we
132
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,400
have dessert.
When you get a win in, in the
133
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,299
state of North Carolina, you got
to take one and unfortunately we
134
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,000
weren't able to close the deal
and and carry that through to
135
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,600
sign.
Day.
136
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,799
So best of luck to him at
Missouri but I was looking
137
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,000
forward to seeing you in maroon
and orange True.
138
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,700
You talk about the relationship.
It's the Eli drink was
139
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,300
connection, who was a tap stay,
just a couple years ago.
140
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:55,200
So obviously, you know, AB State
just literally probably the same
141
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,500
amount of drive from the 336 as
it is to Blacksburg.
142
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:03,100
So, obviously a connection there
and like you said we had talked
143
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,000
about, he was one of the crown
jewels, right?
144
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Yep.
Gunnar Ramon.
145
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,700
We consider Rashad, we consider,
Him.
146
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800
So you lost a crown jewel.
Now I'm not going to say the
147
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,600
name yet but there is a name
that is coming up more and more
148
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,900
often.
I'll hope these boards from the
149
00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:23,000
state of North Carolina now
playing in Virginia for this
150
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,600
season that be on the lookout
for this guy.
151
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,700
Just I'm not going to say the
name but start reading folks.
152
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,900
The one other thing that I did
not like about his deep
153
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:37,600
commitment he literally did it
right before cam Johnson
154
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400
committed.
Like listen man, you want to D
155
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,700
commit that school, but you
legitimately know this guy's
156
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,600
going to the university that
you're leaving.
157
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:51,000
Just think about that.
That's kind of those life
158
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,200
decision things where it's kind
of like I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm
159
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,000
gonna You're gonna laugh at this
point but it's kind of like if
160
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,600
you get pregnant.
And you go to a friend's
161
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,700
wedding, you do not announce
that you're having a freaking
162
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:08,800
baby at the Friend's Wedding.
You just don't do it is bad
163
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,100
taste.
That's what happened about that
164
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:12,500
and we're going to shut the door
on it.
165
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,900
All right, there next up big guy
and I don't know if necessarily
166
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,800
say this is sad news but it's
kind of out opening news with
167
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,900
Devin Taylor getting in the
transfer portal.
168
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:29,500
How did you read this?
I read that as he was
169
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:34,100
essentially, going to be the
third guy up at boundary safety
170
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,000
because I it looks like they're
cross-training Tay daily both
171
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,500
positions.
Yeah.
172
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,100
And he's essentially going to be
the first Sub in with more than
173
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:50,700
likely counted Jenkins, taking
over at at free and obviously,
174
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:53,700
Devon Hunter locking up boundary
safety.
175
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:57,100
There so sounds left A daily was
going to be the guy that the
176
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:00,400
kind of pivot player and he was
kind of ahead of where Devon
177
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Taylor was at boundary safety
but also the best man up at the
178
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,700
at free as well.
So he probably Devon saw.
179
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,000
It is probably not going to get
him a lot of opportunities on
180
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,200
the field this year, maybe can
go and see what take my talents
181
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,800
somewhere else and get on the
field.
182
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,500
It was, It was kind of the, the
reason he came here, he saw an
183
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:26,900
opportunity last year based on
He came in I mean that was that
184
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:32,500
was kind of big for us your
Shoring up a departure with you
185
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,500
know a cornerback and he was
pegged to play either cornerback
186
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:40,200
or and then we had to end up
moving him over to to safety
187
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,300
once we had started having some
some thinness there.
188
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:47,800
So exactly.
Um it's definitely a little
189
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000
depth concern just because we
felt like we had about four or
190
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
five guys that were that were
ready to play at the safety
191
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,900
position.
Now we're probably close Sir, 2
192
00:11:55,900 --> 00:12:00,600
3 or 4.
So definitely, you know another
193
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,800
the theme of this season ladies
and gentlemen is going to be
194
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,300
depth because Frontline, we're a
decent team.
195
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,400
Yeah, we're probably your, I'll
say it eight or nine when team
196
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,400
if we stay 100% healthy all year
but one injury at certain
197
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,100
positions could drop about three
or four winds off the table
198
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,500
there so you can go home
followed season 2.
199
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,900
A parrot, really.
It would make the last few years
200
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:34,200
when I say that 20 and 18 look
actually decent.
201
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,600
I say the one piece you talk
about a daily.
202
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,500
I think it says tase better at
both.
203
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:41,900
The he is the case.
Essentially, your de facto, it's
204
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:45,200
the old school NCAA, right?
You have the one safety have two
205
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,600
safeties that are 99 and one
backup is a 90, and a 92, and
206
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,300
he's your backup and both and
then the red shirt freshman, you
207
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,900
just put us third string but I
also wonder if Jalen strowman
208
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:00,500
and Walker aren't pushing him to
where it was to a point.
209
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,700
We can't see it.
Is it to a point where I'm not
210
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,700
even really 3D now like I'm 40
I'm five deep like these guys
211
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:11,700
have caught me and have passed
me and I would think more so
212
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,700
that's the case because even if
tase your 1A 1B you still have
213
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,900
potential to be that next man
up.
214
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,100
So you're one injury away from
at least seeing rotational
215
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:22,900
duties.
So yeah.
216
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:26,800
It be it could be that that
Stroman had Asked him even on
217
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,100
the depth chart as far as
boundary safety is concerned and
218
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,800
that would definitely put him in
a situation where he really
219
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
would struggle to get on the
field.
220
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,800
This season are and, you know,
catastrophic injury situation at
221
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400
that position.
Yep, that's true.
222
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400
All right.
So the last piece of happy or
223
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,200
bad news happy.
I don't know depending on who
224
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,600
you are but yeah this was this
one's going to depend on
225
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,300
perspective.
If exactly Bode Davidson
226
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:02,800
officially today, is now
director of recruiting at Texas
227
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,500
Tech.
Apparently, getting a handsome
228
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,400
pay.
Raise also, getting to where he
229
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,300
is about three hours from
family.
230
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,900
Both of he and his wife.
Congratulations for him on that
231
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,000
for us, we don't have a director
recruiting but he had only been
232
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,400
in the position three months
when John yet see officially
233
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,400
step down.
So he kind of has guided the
234
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,100
ship the last three months.
Very good commitments.
235
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,600
You give him credit for that
because when you're the
236
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400
director, that is partially,
your job.
237
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,500
Now, the argument is now going.
We need higher in season well as
238
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,100
somebody pointed out yesterday.
Well, we're in Dead period.
239
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,900
You can't do anything anyway.
So do you really need a
240
00:14:45,908 --> 00:14:49,800
director?
I don't think we do.
241
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,600
I think you just let whoever is
on staff kind of run the ship
242
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,500
where only if you know, we're
only a few two months from
243
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:59,600
Signing Day you.
Let them got it in versus trying
244
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
to teach someone on the Fly.
What about you?
245
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,100
This one's difficult because I
think in terms of timing, I
246
00:15:07,108 --> 00:15:11,600
think if you're going to lose
your director of recruiting,
247
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,500
probably, this is one of the
better times to do it because
248
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:20,800
you're far enough along in the
22 cycle where he's not the guy
249
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
that's really working with those
relationships anymore.
250
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,500
It's more in the hands of the
coaches, the other Personnel on
251
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,800
the staff.
It's, he's not really as
252
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Hands-On on those things
anymore.
253
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,200
Second, you're not really into
the 23 cycle proper yet. the
254
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,200
only concern is getting someone
in that can kind of hit the
255
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,000
ground running to make sure that
we don't fall behind getting
256
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,100
getting those names in
establishing those relationships
257
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,800
early at our, the enough of the
cycle where we feel like we're
258
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,000
placing ourselves in a position
heading into the 2022, calendar
259
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,900
year, where we can actually, you
know, close some of those, you
260
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,200
know, once February March, and
April hit, which is when we do
261
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600
you really start seeing Those
first big round of commitments
262
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,100
come through for the next cycle.
Absolutely.
263
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:20,700
And you know what was a Texas
guy and you know he he gets a
264
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:25,800
bad rap of what happened in
Virginia and and we don't know
265
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,500
that stuff we don't know from
behind the scenes, we don't know
266
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,900
his involvement with how much
Virginia was pushed.
267
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:36,000
How much Texas was pushed?
He seems like an Enthusiast, no
268
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,600
Texas was push, heavy breathing
heavily.
269
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,900
We actually, we don't know to
what degree Virginia was given
270
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:47,000
the short change as As a result
of that true we don't, and we
271
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400
never know.
And unless you talk with him
272
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,200
and, you know, this was the kind
of a fun thing to see on Twitter
273
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,400
yesterday.
Brian people are like well, who
274
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,000
wants to be the new director of
recruiting?
275
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,900
And I saw like Vegas Robinson,
and some people call me.
276
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,599
I'll do it.
I'll do it positions like that,
277
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,500
and this is no disrespect to
anybody.
278
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:13,300
Positions like that.
You aren't just given off the
279
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:18,099
street.
Bo Davidson had essentially
280
00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:23,599
worked as a ga or in some type
of capacity role for 14 years
281
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,000
before he got that opportunity
and I know guys move up and down
282
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,800
faster and I see a lot of
people.
283
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,900
Something I can do really good
relationships here.
284
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,300
And they were, as director of
recruiting, you can't actually
285
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,700
go do the relationships there,
you can, too.
286
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,900
It's NCAA.
You can't you can be from the
287
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:42,000
no.4 have the greatest
relationship with with Highland
288
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,100
Springs with piranha with
Manchester with every school.
289
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Cool.
This is this is what you're
290
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600
doing.
You call them and there's only
291
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,500
so many times you can talk to
the kids.
292
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:56,700
Director of recruiting is
essentially putting the game
293
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,800
plan in place.
So when I see guys saying we can
294
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,300
do this in this, the guys who
are interested in doing that, my
295
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:08,100
suggestion, Rob.
And this would be, I'd love to
296
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:11,500
see these guys do that.
And one of the guys in Richmond,
297
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,600
did it Davon Morgan create
football camps Hopkins,
298
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,500
brothers.
Did it.
299
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,700
Get the kids in Camp, if you
want to push them to Virginia
300
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,500
Tech because you bring them in,
you teach them something.
301
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,700
And then potentially, you take
them to Blacksburg that would
302
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,800
like a recruiting is a whole
different story.
303
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:34,100
It's a different ball game.
And I'll say this, I would love
304
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,100
to have someone in that role.
That's either a former player or
305
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:42,700
a graduate that has the passion
for the school year.
306
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,000
I think you absolutely 100% need
that.
307
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,400
And that's one thing that both
probably did not bring to the
308
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,400
table.
Will he not, not, not the
309
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,800
greatest understanding of you
know Virginia high schools and
310
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,400
what which high schools are
important.
311
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,600
But also the passion for, you
know, everybody Blacksburg Feels
312
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Like Home to pretty much
everyone that goes there.
313
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,300
I get that.
But there's a, there's a big
314
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:08,400
difference between living that
and experiencing that after the
315
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,600
fact and having someone that is
an alumni or played for the
316
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,200
Hokies, would certainly be an
Asset.
317
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,700
That's not to say that you can
throw any former player in that
318
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,100
role and expect to Bear the
fruit.
319
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:28,100
I think that I think that's a
very gross overstatement of what
320
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:31,700
the director of recruiting does
and you know if the guys are
321
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:36,700
really interested like that now
to me there are There are two
322
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:40,200
guys actually take that three
guys, former Hokies who are on
323
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,500
the path that they wanted a
position like that.
324
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,800
Dave ons down at enh engine
after he did his camps up here.
325
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:50,400
You've got rock Carmichael's up
in.
326
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,200
Michigan coaching High School
football?
327
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,200
I think it is actually a
Preparatory Academy.
328
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:57,600
Instead he Whitley up to J mu
now home.
329
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:58,900
You think about what they're
doing?
330
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:01,000
They're not doing recruiting.
They are doing on field
331
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
coaching.
Is that the path they take.
332
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,200
We don't know if you ask my
personal opinion right now, To
333
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,700
me Pearson Prelude.
I think could get in that role
334
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,600
in absolutely dominate.
Here's a, a tool is an
335
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,100
All-American at Virginia Tech.
He knows the culture Pearson
336
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,700
praying, Lou coached and Raptor.
I think he's been on the staff
337
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,900
long enough to and Player
Development to understand the
338
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,900
state of Virginia, but I also
think he understands would
339
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,200
understand the whole footprint
of recruiting.
340
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:39,900
He played lead 10 years.
I mean, why not piercing, you
341
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,000
know what I mean?
I can't really think of a.
342
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:46,200
If you're looking for an on
staff candidate, that isn't
343
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,500
Moaning someone that's already
working on the recruiting staff.
344
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,100
Yeah, Pearson would be the
number one choice in my book.
345
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:59,500
Just because having that former
player aspect NFL pedigree
346
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,700
understanding Super Bowl ring
Super Bowl ring.
347
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:07,400
Yeah, understanding things and,
you know he under I think he
348
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,100
understands what kind of built
the Hokies huh?
349
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,200
When he was there and
understands what it's going to
350
00:21:14,208 --> 00:21:18,100
take to kind of get that type of
been Eyetality back and it
351
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:21,100
starts with winning the state.
I mean, you can say what it
352
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,100
said, what you want we
absolutely need to have a
353
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,200
footprint that's wider than what
we had in Beamers are.
354
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,400
Oh it can't, it can't just be
mostly Virginia and then a
355
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,100
handful of kids from Florida,
but you need to still put your
356
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:41,200
flag in your state and say now
you're not getting all these all
357
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,900
these top 10 State kids.
We're going to get at least to a
358
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,100
cycle, maybe three years.
Cycle.
359
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:53,000
And until we start doing that,
it's still going to be a
360
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,600
struggling, we've done better
this year but this should be
361
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,700
kind of the the low average not
the heights, you know I'm
362
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,600
saying?
Well I'll hundred percent.
363
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:08,800
This is this is what this is,
what we would expect yearly like
364
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,000
an average recruiting cycle is
kind of what we're looking this
365
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,300
year, doing the top 10 multiple
in the top 15 multiple in the
366
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,300
top for me.
This will be have urge what we'd
367
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,600
like to see is obviously mean
you would be like root of 4 in
368
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,700
the top 10 6 Plus in the top 15.
And if we're going to recruit 25
369
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:33,800
kids ate in the top 25,
essentially absolutely 30% on
370
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:41,000
the top, 25 kids.
Should be coming to Virginia
371
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Tech in Virginia so you know,
that's our feel on that.
372
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,700
Anything else to add on this
one?
373
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:49,800
Brian before we roll on I say
I'm with Tally who I just threw
374
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,800
the the common up there.
We should be right at or in the
375
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,100
top 20 every year in every five
years, we should be dropping a
376
00:22:58,108 --> 00:23:01,000
top-15 class.
If we want to get to where we
377
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
want to get, which is winning.
The ACC somewhat consistently
378
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,100
and competing for a college
football.
379
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:10,500
Playoff Mission.
Absolutely, that's what we have
380
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:15,800
to do. 100% but we've only done
one, top 15, class.
381
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,700
Ever since the rankings have
come out now, maybe you go back
382
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:23,200
and say, well, they should have
readjusted some of those because
383
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,300
they completely whiffed.
Well, we'll see about that
384
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:27,100
later.
All right.
385
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:29,600
Let's keep the well, let's get
to the Happy Times.
386
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:35,100
Happy Times nappy time y'all.
We got a commitment.
387
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:43,200
He is a composite for star.
He is a top 50 Corner in the
388
00:23:43,208 --> 00:23:45,700
country.
He's a top 300 player.
389
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,100
Cam Johnson of the st.
Frances Academy in Baltimore 6
390
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,800
foot, 165 Corner Brown.
What do you think of Cam?
391
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:58,600
I really like this a lot.
I like, getting back into
392
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,600
Maryland.
I like this guy's attributes
393
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,800
that can bring to the table.
Good size, right out the gate
394
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,900
moves.
Well turns his hips.
395
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:10,600
Well, doesn't shy away from
contact, either.
396
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,600
From the film I've seen, so all
around a really good pick up and
397
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,500
hopefully we can we can close
the deal and getting through
398
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,500
Signing Day.
Yeah definitely going to keep a
399
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:21,100
definite going to be a fight
with him.
400
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:24,600
I'm obviously I think it was us
in Maryland as the finalists but
401
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:27,000
But really good pickup.
Really good landing.
402
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:32,700
And, you know, we're still
hanging onto like, 15th 13th or
403
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:38,200
12th with 24/7, even with it.
Because when Simmons came on and
404
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
he can't come as one off, he
came on.
405
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,200
We literally stayed at the same
spot because they were very
406
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,900
quickly rank very close.
Yeah, very close.
407
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:49,600
I think 24/7 was pretty much a
Pick'em between, but cams
408
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,100
composite is a little bit
higher.
409
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:55,000
Even though, we like 24/7
better, he's a There.
410
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,300
But I think they'll get a bump.
I think right now.
411
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,300
But as we get into the season,
if you just look we're
412
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:04,300
recruiting is I don't think
we're going to follow me.
413
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,400
I don't think we're going to
fall to 30 because if you start
414
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,100
going through there's only so
many teams that are going to be
415
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,400
able to add more.
Are there going to be some
416
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400
Elites that passed us?
Yes that's going to happen.
417
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,300
Are there going to be some top
15 teams?
418
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:20,300
Currently that passes?
Yeah but I don't think it's
419
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,100
going to be enough because we
still are probably going to pick
420
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:24,500
up anywhere from three to four
more.
421
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:28,100
Or one we talked about earlier
is a pretty highly ranked guy
422
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,200
which is going to help us even
more.
423
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,700
I don't see it as follow.
Do you think we're going to be
424
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,200
in the 30s?
Or do you think we're going to
425
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,800
have a 2 next?
Our number at the end?
426
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,600
I think we're going to be kind
of where we typically are, which
427
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
is somewhere between 25 and 30.
I don't think we're going to
428
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,600
drop into the 30s in.
A lot of this is going to depend
429
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,800
on what happens in the season
and immediately following the
430
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,300
season.
So I'll put that In there.
431
00:25:55,900 --> 00:26:02,700
But if things roll through say,
we finish like eight, and four
432
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:06,200
staff is retained, you know,
whatever it is.
433
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,300
I think we finish somewhere
between 25 and 30 things go,
434
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,200
south other big changes are
made.
435
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,500
Then obviously, all bets are off
exactly.
436
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,900
Well, the whole piece I'll say,
is this, I don't think it was so
437
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:23,200
much far, south after what
happened last year, even with
438
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,000
the codes.
Now after I mean, For real.
439
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,400
Like what I mean, how much worse
can it, get glad that they're
440
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000
also, they're even with all that
turmoil.
441
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,700
There wasn't a whole lot of
movement towards the for
442
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:37,800
Designing day.
So what exactly?
443
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,600
I think I think barring an
actual change in regime.
444
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,100
Your we were probably looking at
not not too much of a drop-off,
445
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,700
very true, very true.
Alright so next what we're going
446
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:50,900
to look at here, I put my beer
down and make the announcement
447
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:54,400
for I have a set of the Hockey
Hall of Fame was announced lots
448
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,100
of I played we're going to focus
on the three hokey football
449
00:26:58,100 --> 00:26:59,800
players.
Let's start.
450
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,300
Brian with Tyrone.
Drake Ford, someone essentially
451
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:06,700
from our use, someone actually
connections to our hometown.
452
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,500
I know she's probably not
listening but I'll still shout
453
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:11,300
out.
Maybe somebody else, say heard
454
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,700
you on Facebook, the other
night, Brenda best cousin,
455
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:19,400
Tyrone Drake, furred Corner.
Played a tech in the 90s.
456
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,900
A hell of a football player was
drafted by the Niners, won a
457
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:29,400
ring with the Niners played up
to 2001 one of those original.
458
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,700
One of the original guys, that
started the DB you man.
459
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,000
Yeah, I mean, this is a big one
for you because I'd say really
460
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,500
all three of these guys that
we're going to talk about our
461
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:43,300
kind of big for us in general.
But this one for you with with
462
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:47,400
the 49ers tie in there one.
But yeah, I mean Tyrone Jennifer
463
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,400
was kind of the the 0 g of D bu
here and nothing.
464
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,700
But good things to say about it.
Time in Blacksburg.
465
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,900
And it was one of those guys, as
you mentioned, when we were,
466
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:02,900
first, first turning on the
television by choice to follow
467
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:06,800
the Hokies, that was the name we
heard.
468
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,800
And that we love seeing making
plays so exactly.
469
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,600
We were younger were probably
nine, ten.
470
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,000
We were starting to get our
cognitive stuff together.
471
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,600
And essentially, he was, you
say, what you want to say?
472
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,600
He got drafted in 94.
So he was a literally part of
473
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,500
the team that saved Beamers
career.
474
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,400
If guys like Drake for it,
aren't there guys, like,
475
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,500
Maurice, deshazo aren't there in
93?
476
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,500
We who knows what happens to the
program.
477
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:39,600
Now buddy?
The next two guys, this was our
478
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Heyday.
This was a hey dark man.
479
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,900
My heart with the X-Men Xavier
adibi.
480
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400
From down a phoebius down in
Hampton.
481
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,800
I mean my favorite defensive
player from that era other than
482
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Darryl Tapp.
So it's I mean, it's and then
483
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
you can have the argument is
he's the greatest backer of all
484
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,800
times.
People can fight, you can fight
485
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:16,100
with him and Tremaine, you know,
but you know it goes back in.
486
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,200
This is again guys.
You know, you played in the
487
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,500
league for years.
He was all ACC was All-American
488
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:25,400
in 07 and he was just one of
those guys.
489
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,600
You were hauling a DB and you
know it goes back again.
490
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,500
It was during our Heyday, he was
a freak dip.
491
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:41,500
A frequent linebacker for his
time and I'm trying to think of
492
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,200
what play.
Was it brown was it that energy
493
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,900
was one of the interceptions
we've talked about on here
494
00:29:45,908 --> 00:29:51,100
before.
I know I'm drawing a blanket as
495
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,200
well.
I wish you would, but how many
496
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,500
plays he made?
So awesome.
497
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:58,800
This guy getting home?
Yep.
498
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:06,500
You know, and obviously he was
again, one of the what's Brother
499
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:10,200
set of Brothers.
Yep, man, you played before he
500
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,600
follow the ante up.
It's so it's it keeps going on.
501
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,200
Yeah, I mean so when when I
think Hall in the DB I mean that
502
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,200
was that was like one of my
favorite areas for this defense
503
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,700
because Hall was solid always
there.
504
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:29,800
And then a DV was like he was
just the playmaker, he was all
505
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,600
over the field, he was getting
interceptions, he was breaking
506
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,900
up passes, he was completely
knocking the shit out of guy.
507
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:39,400
As if they were trying to get
outside of the edge.
508
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,900
I mean, just watching those two
was awesome and a DV was
509
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:47,300
definitely one of my favorites
of those those 2000s teams that
510
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:50,200
were just so good.
Absolutely.
511
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,400
And I mean, they were part of
literally the defenses that were
512
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,700
number one in the nation that
were holding those two light
513
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:02,000
eight points that we used to
screen if we can have a decent
514
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,400
bleep and offense, we will win
Idol.
515
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,500
Just just too.
Just so you know how nasty is?
516
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:15,900
That was 266, tackles 25 tackles
for loss nine, nine sacks.
517
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:20,500
He had eight picks as a middle
linebacker and really three
518
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:23,900
years playing full-time.
That's nuts.
519
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:26,600
Oh, all right.
So finally folks we're going to
520
00:31:26,608 --> 00:31:34,200
hit my local here to the r-va
Victor, too Macho Harris out of
521
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Highland Springs va mean.
One of them, was it the first
522
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,100
five-star landed first five-star
landed right?
523
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,900
Was Mikey, I think.
In, man, he was a lockdown
524
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:56,100
Corner in every sense of the
word, multiple Ace, multiple,
525
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:02,000
all-acc, feel like, I don't want
to say, he was an All-American
526
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
to.
It's not telling me that here,
527
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,400
but also, you know, a little
little background here coach.
528
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:15,600
Well, Hometown friend of ours,
Charlie Crittenden.
529
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,600
He actually coached me my
sophomore year.
530
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:23,000
Year of high school offensive
line making grad.
531
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,100
So I won't hold that against him
but he he was coaching Macho
532
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,000
when he was in high school at
the Highland Spring.
533
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,400
So I remember hearing about
this, this Macho Harris guy
534
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,500
before, some other folks are
ready for it.
535
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:46,300
But Just the number one.
Like there's there's so much
536
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:50,600
Swagger that Macho brought to
the to the to the to the feel,
537
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,800
their got the offensive
defensive and special teams
538
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,000
touchdown.
I mean that that's still like
539
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
that's something that that just
doesn't happen every day.
540
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,400
I mean, nothing but good things
that could be said about macho
541
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,000
man.
Yeah, two guys.
542
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,800
Did it Macho Andy Hall.
Yep.
543
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
That's it.
And they any was Special special
544
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:17,300
athlete.
And, you know, it's great to see
545
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:18,800
these guys.
I don't know when they'll be
546
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,700
inducted.
I probably find it on the
547
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:24,100
schedule.
Depending on that game is we
548
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:27,600
don't have to Circle that one.
Brian to go up to visit.
549
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,400
Yeah, that'd be a good one.
I might be a good one.
550
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,400
All right, so next thing we're
going to look at here, folks,
551
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,800
and we're rolling right along as
fast as we can.
552
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
He is.
We are going to look at the ACC
553
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:46,100
Corona policies this year.
Last year was really they go 07
554
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:50,600
Macho at Clemson very devil.
All right so here are the kind
555
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
of the three guidelines.
Most match, the other
556
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,100
conferences of the third one's a
little different.
557
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:58,700
First one is if a game cannot be
played on its original.
558
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,900
Scheduled date due to a team
have an instant of an
559
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:06,800
insufficient number of people
due to the covid-19 virus that
560
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,300
team will forfeit.
The game in the wind will be
561
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,000
assigned to the other team.
Everybody's doing it makes
562
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,300
sense, right?
Yep.
563
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:16,199
Makes sense.
Yep.
564
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,000
Second one, if the ACC game
cannot be played on the date for
565
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,400
any Factor.
Other than that in there are
566
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,100
game discontinuation
circumstances.
567
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,300
I'm a little Tsum.
That would be like, hurricanes
568
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:34,600
coming through, you know, other
factors potentially medical
569
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,400
factors, something like that.
Those games essentially, Looking
570
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,500
at a potential reschedule.
So basically, anything freak
571
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,800
over the could get cancelled and
rescheduled, it would be
572
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,900
cancelled and rescheduled.
Yep, the third one is the most
573
00:34:50,900 --> 00:34:53,699
interesting one.
No other conference has this.
574
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:59,600
I'm going to read this verbatim.
If a 2021 ACC game, cannot be
575
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,400
played on its original scheduled
a due to both team being able to
576
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:07,100
play due to an insufficient.
Number of players related to the
577
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:11,200
covid-19 virus.
Both teams, shall be have demon.
578
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,800
Forfeited, the Forfeited the
game.
579
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,800
And a loss will be assigned to
both teams and apply to the
580
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,000
conference standings double L's
12w hell's.
581
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000
So that's exactly what you want
to hear double else.
582
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:26,700
I mean I'm sure they're going to
be
583
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:46,300
Nobody's getting anything.
It essentially applies, the
584
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:51,000
pressure across the board.
It's not just, you know, it's
585
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,700
not just a game of chicken.
Like if you both can't play,
586
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,600
Then you both get the L.
Love it, love it.
587
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:03,100
So, there are the policies based
on kind of what you're seeing
588
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:06,600
from throughout college
football, all the players are
589
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,600
over, 95 percent threshold.
Most teams Virginia Tech hasn't
590
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,700
confirmed, but I don't, Think
they'll ever be able to confirm?
591
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:18,400
100% mode themes, are probably
between 97 and 99.
592
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,800
It might be a few guys here and
there medical reasons, and or
593
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:26,900
religious purposes.
Not, you know, vaccinated in
594
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600
your fine.
Exactly.
595
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Jay bernzy for shout-out SS
cause more Coastal chaos.
596
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,100
So there's gonna be like three
of them, right?
597
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
Yep.
So that's what the coastal does.
598
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,300
All right, Brian.
I mean I mean this the coastal's
599
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,700
already, I mean, it's already
going to be interesting because
600
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:48,800
you feel like you got a tier one
and then you got a tear to, but
601
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,500
there's not a huge gap.
I don't think a little bit
602
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,400
margin for error.
Can can really throw things into
603
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,000
a tailspin there and put
probably four or five teams in
604
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,100
play for the coastal going into
the later part of November
605
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,100
there.
Exactly.
606
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:07,800
All right.
So we're going to hit our first
607
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,800
big topic of the night.
The Yesterday from the ACC, the
608
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,300
Big Ten in the Pac-12 about
their Alliance Brian.
609
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:17,600
Before we get into some
individual points, me and you
610
00:37:17,607 --> 00:37:22,200
have kind of, pulled out.
What was your overall field on a
611
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,200
jeweler?
All feel?
612
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:27,500
Well, the first time I heard
about it, I could all I could
613
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:30,500
think about was Dwight asking
Jim if you wanted to form an
614
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:36,600
alliance and to, which either
the response is absolutely, I
615
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,800
do.
Yeah, my first thought was, I
616
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,200
think this I wouldn't consider
this as a power move.
617
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400
This isn't a power move, but
this is a, this is a move about
618
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,700
viability and survival in what
looks to be a very uncertain.
619
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:59,600
Next, several years in terms of
realignment and things of that
620
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,400
nature.
So I don't think a partnership
621
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,100
can hurt.
I just, we'll get into it, but
622
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:10,000
I'm not sure exactly how much
it's helping other than
623
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:13,100
potentially looking at the
scheduling aspect of it.
624
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,100
Yeah.
We're going to we're going to go
625
00:38:17,107 --> 00:38:19,000
into couple times.
I think it's a leverage play
626
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,600
because I think.
Now, if you've got three
627
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,800
Commissioners on board Any sort
of NCAA rulings any sort of
628
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,100
college football playoff,
they're going to have leverage,
629
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,900
right?
They've got more institutions,
630
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:34,700
and they've got more power
because we have three
631
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:38,200
conferences, and it's
essentially at the SEC is like
632
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,200
cool.
You've got the two big boys, but
633
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,400
you're still one conference.
So you don't hold all the cards
634
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,000
versus if if they had kept Texas
and Oklahoma in the Big 12 and
635
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,900
just said, hey we're forming a
partnership.
636
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:53,200
We're going to play is
everybody's going to play at
637
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,200
least one cross.
Conference game every year.
638
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,800
Drop it at that.
All right, let's jump into the
639
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,100
first thing Ron.
The first thing I kind of caught
640
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:05,600
my ear listening this yesterday
is they said, 41 schools.
641
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:09,300
Let's do math Brian.
There's 14 ACC schools.
642
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:13,100
Yep, there's 14.
Big Ten schools.
643
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,700
Yep.
There's 12 pack 12 schools, that
644
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:20,200
equals 40.
So what does that tell you who
645
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,900
is the plus one?
Well that plus 1 is going to be
646
00:39:23,900 --> 00:39:25,900
more than likely Notre.
Dame.
647
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,300
So mainly and I say that because
this Alliance was talking about
648
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,100
football and Hoops Partnerships.
So by default they were they
649
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,800
might have been thrown in there
so it'll be interesting to see
650
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,600
what that really means for
football.
651
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:44,900
But the fact that it's 41
definitely means that Notre Dame
652
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,700
is in play there.
Yeah you got swarbrick on the
653
00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:50,700
cfp model.
Also, the other thing I'm going
654
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:53,400
to say is this, I don't know how
long the contract is and if
655
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,700
somebody out there wants to look
it up and put it in a message to
656
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,700
us, do it, Notre Dame is
contracted to play five, ACC
657
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:05,600
games a year.
Five, if you start looking at
658
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,600
their other primary rival
throughout time, Navy's warm you
659
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:15,900
up at 6:00 Purdue Michigan
State.
660
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,200
Northwestern Michigan have been
their primary Rivals.
661
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,900
The Michigan series is weird,
but you're doing Michigan State.
662
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:29,000
Were there every year that gets
you up to about nine or ten
663
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,200
every year?
Give or take and then West Coast
664
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,600
wise, they always played USC and
Stanford.
665
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,800
Yep.
If for no other reason, they're
666
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,700
getting into.
This is will keep our five ACC
667
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:42,000
games.
We can get back on track with
668
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
the big 10 games and we've got
our West Coast game.
669
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:47,300
Eames we assume we think that
the only thing they would for
670
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,700
they would balk at, you know,
looking at is, all right.
671
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:57,200
So we're playing schedule-wise
they would probably be on the
672
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,500
upper end of the Spectrum in
terms of strength of schedule.
673
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:03,000
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
674
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:04,400
Every year.
Yeah.
675
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,700
Now granted if they stay
independent while adopting this
676
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,700
model, they probably will need
that strength of schedule to
677
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,700
make their case for a playoff
position every year.
678
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:19,400
But again, being involved with
it.
679
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,300
It's going to be a lot easier to
just go in there and say, we're
680
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:24,900
going to play five in the ACC,
we're going to play a few in the
681
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,400
Big Ten, we're going to find the
few and the Pac-12.
682
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Essentially, let us be your one
of your games every year and
683
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,100
hate to say this not hate to say
this no team is going to turn
684
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:39,400
down a series or a game with
Notre Dame.
685
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,900
It is too much money, it's
either you're getting National
686
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:52,500
exposure on NBC or if, if You
are getting them at home.
687
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,100
A your home stadium is going to
sell out.
688
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,500
The secondary ticket prices are
going to be insane.
689
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,900
The hotel room rates are going
to go insane.
690
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:04,600
You're going to make a lot of
money that weekend, but also
691
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,400
your normally, and again, I say
normally because this year, they
692
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,200
bleeped it all up.
Although it seems like there's
693
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,000
about to be a deal between
Comcast and ESPN to get the ACC
694
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,700
Network on your Glimpse.
Hope we did get the, we did get
695
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:21,000
the oh, we made a mistake line
with all the other the other
696
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,200
night we made a mistake.
We actually put a cc Rooming on
697
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,000
the SEC secondary Channel.
Yes, that was a test to make
698
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,300
sure they could get it done, but
you're going to get a prime-time
699
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,300
game with them and every team
wants that exposure.
700
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,900
Alright Braun.
You mentioned it football and
701
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:46,100
Hoops Partnerships.
We think.
702
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,800
I mean, they're definitely
targeting the sports that are
703
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,100
bringing in the money so that I
mean that that's.
704
00:42:56,100 --> 00:43:00,800
Probably what this is all about
because more or less any sort of
705
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,500
realignment in any sort of major
votes are going to hinge on
706
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:08,900
those two sports.
Great, very true, very true.
707
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:13,000
So that that's why it's
strategically position for those
708
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,400
who supports that that's the
ones bringing in money.
709
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:20,100
That's the ones where these
decisions matter in terms of
710
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,100
dollars at the end of the day,
right?
711
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,100
Oh yeah, dollars by the end of
the day.
712
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:33,400
Now they mentioned a few other
sports as well, you know, Pac-12
713
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600
and Big Ten Women's Volleyball
is its exception.
714
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,300
I've watched a couple big ten
games before but then you kind
715
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:44,700
of think about think about a
Virginia Tech, secondary sport,
716
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:46,200
that's not football or
basketball.
717
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,800
Think about wrestling in
potentially getting meets with
718
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Big Ten, where you've got Iowa
in State Minnesota, some really
719
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:01,000
essentially, like Virginia
Tech's the top 10 program,
720
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,800
you've got multiple top five
programs there.
721
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:10,300
Yeah, and then, I think West
Coast, What's the second?
722
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,200
What's it?
What's the next big?
723
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,100
Secondary sport in the ACC
behind football and baseball?
724
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:17,900
No disrespect to wrestling is
baseball.
725
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:21,300
Yep.
In the Pac-12 has always had
726
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:22,300
them.
Good baseball.
727
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,700
Absolutely absolutely.
Now, as we look at it, the way
728
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:32,300
they are and this is where you
sign to get the.
729
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:36,500
Well, this is just a bunch of
punk bullcrap, you know, the
730
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:38,300
schedule.
A this is where the fluff
731
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:40,100
begins.
Let me do this.
732
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:43,300
Let's turn it backwards.
The schedule lines will begin as
733
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:48,500
soon as practical while current
obligations are being upheld.
734
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:51,300
Okay.
That's basically saying it's TV
735
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:58,700
contracts and it's probably
really It's more probably the
736
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:02,400
Pac-12 when they get that
opportunity it's going to be
737
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,700
what 2023 is when there's ends.
That's when the that's when
738
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:10,100
you're going to see it.
Start leveraging when you know,
739
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:12,800
they say, hey how about this
year?
740
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,700
How about USC?
Give me a good Big Ten team, run
741
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:22,600
USC plays.
State by the state in a
742
00:45:22,607 --> 00:45:26,700
horseshoe for in the Coliseum.
All right Washington really good
743
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,900
up in the upper Northwest hey we
want to play FSU.
744
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,900
That's when you're going to
start seeing them, leverage to
745
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:40,200
say, we are getting in place.
Name brand teams to bring on to
746
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:44,200
Fox Sports that we're not seeing
because of their current
747
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,800
contract with ESPN.
I'll tell you what's funny
748
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,300
though and I know in this is
just unfortunate timing because
749
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:52,500
I'm sure these discussions have
been in works way before the
750
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:53,700
alliance.
Yeah.
751
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,100
But today USC announce that at
Lear at LSU their schedule we're
752
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:03,100
going to 2024.
Yeah that's so again it's
753
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:05,600
absolutely those discussions
have been going on way before
754
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,500
the alliance stuff started.
It, the timing could not have
755
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:12,900
been a worse for saying, hey,
we've got a handshake agreement
756
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,600
here that, you know, we're in
this together.
757
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,700
And then the next thing, you
know, you get a scheduled
758
00:46:18,700 --> 00:46:22,500
opponent with an SEC team.
So let's just say, when all this
759
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:26,900
comes from Russian in 2024, that
USC will be asking to play
760
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:29,600
either Wake Forest for what
thirsty.
761
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:33,100
No.
No, we good.
762
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,600
We won't.
We won't want to them.
763
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,900
We don't need your fucking
fucked.
764
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:41,400
Our PR, exactly giving you the
donut the exact, let me ask this
765
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,700
Bond.
So big 10 PAC, 12 said they were
766
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:46,900
very you know open to the idea
of a playoff expansion.
767
00:46:47,300 --> 00:46:51,000
Jim Phillips new ACC
commissioner said well you know
768
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,300
we're really landed on the final
decision yet.
769
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:56,600
You think that's him being
legitimate or do you think
770
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,500
that's more leverage play to say
if one of us isn't happy?
771
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:04,700
We're going to all reconsider I
think he's hedging.
772
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,700
I mean I think at this point
being non-committal gives him
773
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:13,800
the opportunity to kind of go
where the wind is taking the
774
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,400
situation.
Yeah I don't necessarily think
775
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,100
that's A bad decision, but at
the same time, I would have
776
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:24,000
wanted.
I would have wanted more
777
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600
definitive Direction.
I'd rather I'd like the ACC to
778
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,900
take a little bit more of a
leadership role in this thing
779
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:36,700
and I feel like hunting on that
kind of takes away some of their
780
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,300
their power later on to to be a
strong player in whatever the
781
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:42,500
final decision is, what do you
think?
782
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:47,300
It's because right now they're
saying what the top six A
783
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,000
Champions.
Yeah, that was the Assumption
784
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,300
there was going to be a power 5,
you think that's maybe that's
785
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:56,200
the reason they're holding to
say if the Big 12 can get their
786
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,700
bleep together and get some
other current.
787
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,900
I think the concern is that if
you only have four major
788
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:08,200
conferences, you don't do 60
that that that that's going to
789
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,700
open up more opportunities for
sec to take more of those at
790
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:18,500
large spaces in the playoff.
Which Removes some of the power
791
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:23,200
that the Big Ten, the ACC in the
Pac-12 have in terms of getting
792
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,600
revenue from the college
football playoff, I'll tell you
793
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,100
what's going to happen.
Michael Yost is going to stumble
794
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:32,400
onto his conviction of a, be
incorrect because the acc's and
795
00:48:32,408 --> 00:48:34,100
you're like for Conference
champions.
796
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:39,500
And for our, you're still going
to end up with three of those
797
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:43,800
eight being SEC every year.
I don't know because I think at
798
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,900
that point I think there's going
to be a lot of different
799
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,300
criteria and that's what we
hope.
800
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:53,400
So, I hope that there's not just
I mean we're still early in
801
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,800
this, I know I put my my flag in
the ground for 12 but I put my
802
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,500
flag in the ground for 12
before.
803
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,800
There was any talk of Texas and
Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for
804
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,200
the SEC and other realignment
things.
805
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,600
And this definitely makes me
want to re-evaluate that a
806
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,300
little bit.
I still think 12 overall is good
807
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:16,500
for the overall health of
college football, but with fewer
808
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:20,300
power 5, Potentially fewer power
five conferences.
809
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:25,200
It definitely kind of changes
that outset because you are
810
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,700
going to have more power 5 at
largest by default.
811
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,600
Absolutely.
Alright, next piece with the no
812
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,100
contract piece when they said
that, what did you think?
813
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:42,400
I'll be out.
I Love handshake agreements as
814
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,400
much as the next person but I
guess getting it in writing.
815
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,200
Is it possible?
At this time?
816
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,800
Just because there's a lot of
moving pieces, and it's better
817
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,900
to Better to have something
verbal, until we know a little
818
00:49:56,900 --> 00:50:01,000
bit more than we know right now.
Our.
819
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:04,600
That's just my take.
Did you read hokey Andrews?
820
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:06,400
Tweet.
I did.
821
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,400
And that that was a good point
as well because he was talking
822
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,600
about Market collusion and
price-fixing.
823
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:17,800
If you've got any Apple
conferences, essentially ganging
824
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,700
up on another conference in
terms of wedging them out from a
825
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:25,300
financial perspective or nice,
making a power play against them
826
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:28,300
from a financial perspective.
And I think that's probably the
827
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:30,300
reason why again you got three
guys.
828
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,100
Who are attorneys that are doing
this.
829
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:36,700
And I'm sure their first thought
was, well, hey, we can do an
830
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:39,500
agreement contract or somebody
probably said, yeah.
831
00:50:39,500 --> 00:50:42,400
And if the SEC filed an
antitrust lawsuit against his
832
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,300
guess, what they're going to
win?
833
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,700
So they're going to break this
up before it even started or
834
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:49,800
it's not going to be
economically feasible for us to
835
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,500
try to win it and we'll use
figure out exactly what will
836
00:50:53,508 --> 00:50:54,800
essentially be back where we
are.
837
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,100
Anyway, exactly.
So I think that was maybe I
838
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,200
think it's more, it doesn't look
good.
839
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:03,000
I think if you start thinking
about it, it's like that makes
840
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,000
sense right now is they're on
the same page.
841
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000
It's more of the voting thing.
Like, you know, how many times
842
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,400
do you have things you vote on
whether it be social, you know,
843
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,800
you know, social organizations
or other things?
844
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,000
That's go back to thinking SGA
and stuff like that, or even
845
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,700
maybe neighborhood Council where
it's, like, you're voting this
846
00:51:26,700 --> 00:51:29,000
way, right?
We're all going to vote this way
847
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,200
because we don't want that to
happen.
848
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:31,900
Happen.
And they're going to try to make
849
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:34,000
that happen.
It would it all six of us vote
850
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,200
against it.
They can't.
851
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:39,300
And if it's a handshake
agreement, they can't sue you
852
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:40,800
for anything.
All right?
853
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,000
Yeah.
It's the old, I mean, it's the
854
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,400
old backdoor Arrangement like
you, you know, it's not, it's
855
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,700
not anything formal but it's so
it's on the, it's so close to
856
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:55,700
being formal that by de facto.
It is the same outcomes come
857
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:59,800
into place, and hopefully
they'll able to keep that
858
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,000
together.
And like I said, I would, I
859
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,000
would want the ACC to take a
little bit more of a leadership
860
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,400
role on this.
Especially in terms of what the
861
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,400
playoff is going to look like.
Because I feel like that's going
862
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,500
to be the biggest piece of the
financial puzzle long-term
863
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,600
become.
So hopefully hopefully there's a
864
00:52:19,607 --> 00:52:21,000
little bit more information
about that.
865
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:24,100
Yeah.
And again the playoff piece also
866
00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:27,500
two of these network, two of
these conferences have their
867
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:34,700
primary ganger on Fox Fox is not
in it right now.
868
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:38,400
So you know what?
I think any coffee of expansion
869
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,400
while in the next few years is
not.
870
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:41,700
They're going to vote it down,
right?
871
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,400
No.
Because I think what they want
872
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,300
to do is, let it get out there
and get fitted by.
873
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:48,600
I think boxes telling the Pac-12
on that.
874
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:52,100
It's probably right, just vote.
No just vote.
875
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:55,300
No, because when he gets here
we're going to go after it hard.
876
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,800
And maybe hopefully what we can
get is more of a split playoff
877
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,200
where we see multiple TV
entities handle it versus just
878
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,200
ESPN.
And all right, so we kind of
879
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,300
mentioned it already.
The Big 12, they all mentioned
880
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:16,800
the importance of keeping that
conference alive to your point,
881
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,300
Braun Playoff right?
If you can have them be viable,
882
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,300
you have a fifth playoff team.
Yeah.
883
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:28,200
And they're going to, they're
gonna have to do some work to
884
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:33,900
remain viable.
They cannot hold Pat and and
885
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:37,600
hope for survival.
You've lost your two, biggest
886
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,900
Revenue dogs in your conference,
true.
887
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:46,100
And that's it.
We're going to be and it's going
888
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:53,000
to be interesting weather.
Whether Texas and Oklahoma
889
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:59,000
decide to pay the buyout to
start this thing early, whether
890
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,500
they decide to ride it out and
hope that the Big 12 olds, so,
891
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,600
they can depart early without
having to pay the buyout.
892
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,500
Or if the Big 12 is able to make
some moves with some of these
893
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:19,000
other G5 conferences,
potentially or maybe even power
894
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
five conference has to get Get a
team or two to come over to
895
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,500
their side of the, the field
there because they're going to
896
00:54:26,508 --> 00:54:29,500
need something to remain viable.
They keep that.
897
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:32,100
I definitely don't think they
can just hold their status quo
898
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:35,700
right now for the next three to
five years and hope to remain
899
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:38,600
viable.
Now, the can't hold status quo
900
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:44,700
but if Texas are Oklahomans used
to pay that buyout, it still
901
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:49,000
will take a couple of years of
the SEC money to recoup it.
902
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,700
Sure, but long game, they can
afford it, it's just the
903
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:55,100
question.
Do they want to take their
904
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:58,300
short-term loss?
Especially coming off of covid?
905
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:02,800
In order to achieve that will?
Also, let's just say it.
906
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,400
You're also going into, I'm not
going to hesitate on.
907
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,900
You're going into the strongest
conference.
908
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,500
What if you go in there and
become a 6?
909
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:14,800
And 16, your Brand's done your
brand and your brand suffers,
910
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,800
but Texas has still been the
number one athletic department.
911
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,800
In terms of Revenue, while being
a fucking middling ass program
912
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,900
for the last decade middling
ass.
913
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:28,400
Did you think you're going to
hear that?
914
00:55:29,900 --> 00:55:31,600
All right.
Well you know what, this is
915
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,800
probably I think what this is my
opinion, how the big 12 can
916
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:37,700
somehow make it.
They are going to be looked at
917
00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:45,500
as the ugly stepsister of the
group but you go you look at
918
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:47,700
Central Florida.
You look at Cincinnati.
919
00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:50,600
Look at Memphis.
Look at BYU and you look at
920
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,900
Boise and you just invite them
and just say whatever happens is
921
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:58,100
what happens and we're going to
figure it out from here because
922
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:02,300
at least you have with those
five schools they have brains,
923
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:06,800
they are known as they are known
to average college football
924
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,900
fans.
BYU know, we know has a very
925
00:56:10,900 --> 00:56:13,300
passionate base.
As there's Boise, the other ones
926
00:56:13,300 --> 00:56:16,300
are building.
You just, you just almost a
927
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:18,600
screw it.
This is literally a Hail Mary.
928
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:22,300
Even if we don't score the
touchdown and everything
929
00:56:22,300 --> 00:56:26,300
happens, perfect, we're going to
probably get pass interference.
930
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:29,500
You're going to have the ball
down at the one where we're not
931
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:32,500
going to be what we were, but
we're not going to become a
932
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:36,600
swak.
That for all y'all, Young Folks,
933
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,900
go review swaggin.
What the fuck happened?
934
00:56:38,900 --> 00:56:42,700
30 years ago.
Yep, history lesson it's
935
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:46,000
happened before.
So when we look at the big 12
936
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,800
rbr, they essentially right now
kind of what the Big East was
937
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:56,000
after in the early 2000s after
the departure of Virginia Tech
938
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:58,500
and Miami.
That's exactly what they were
939
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,700
and they chose to stand Pat.
Right?
940
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,600
They didn't try to add teams.
They didn't try to build up.
941
00:57:06,700 --> 00:57:11,100
We can make it like this and
they freaking fell because the
942
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:15,100
teams that had viable decent
football program or viable
943
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:19,700
markets just piece like nope
because this is not going to
944
00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:24,300
work.
And in this case, that's why I
945
00:57:24,308 --> 00:57:26,600
think you do that.
That's why you think you just
946
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,500
throw it to the wall and just
say this is what we're going to
947
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,500
do and have a dollars and cents
perspective.
948
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,600
This is definitely a bigger blow
to the Big 12 than what that was
949
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:41,400
to the Big East much bigger much
bigger because I think it's the
950
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,900
time frame of where we are.
In the early 2000s the contracts
951
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:47,100
went.
They weren't what they were.
952
00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:49,700
Yep.
All right let's hit the last
953
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:53,600
couple topics here.
They basically said we're not
954
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,100
going to handcuff any other out
of conference game so they
955
00:57:56,100 --> 00:57:58,700
basically are keeping all your
rivalries alive.
956
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,000
You know, Georgia, Georgia Tech,
South Carolina.
957
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,900
That's not Shocking because I
don't think they're trying to
958
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:06,900
play bully ball.
I just think they're trying to
959
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:09,700
hold leverage and say you're not
going to run the show.
960
00:58:10,300 --> 00:58:12,000
They're trying to hold leverage
and then they're trying to
961
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,100
create some unique matchups
within this to gain that
962
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:18,600
leverage when it comes to
college football playoff stuff.
963
00:58:18,900 --> 00:58:21,800
Yeah.
So we'll still have those maybe
964
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,300
even create some new ones.
Now the last piece we're going
965
00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:29,600
to hit here and this was near
the end of it was Pat Club big
966
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,600
tender at nine games acc's a
date.
967
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,400
The way that conversation was
flowing by, I don't know if you
968
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:41,300
were watching it live.
I truly think and this is why I
969
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:44,900
think you're going to have
multiple crossovers year between
970
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:48,400
these two conquer.
These three conferences is
971
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,700
they're going to have a
conference games.
972
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:56,300
We're not going to go up.
We're going to go down because
973
00:58:56,300 --> 00:58:59,100
what we're going to do, we're
going to, we're going to keep
974
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:03,500
going to squeeze the conferences
in so we can get these two
975
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:07,600
games, probably one more P5 game
and then likely a G5 game.
976
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,400
Yep.
And I think that's a good move
977
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,700
because it gives you the
opportunity to work those
978
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:15,600
schedules.
Like we were talking about, get
979
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,200
the interesting crossover
matchups.
980
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,400
Get some intriguing college
football playoff ramifications.
981
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,200
Games with non-traditional
opponents.
982
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:27,200
So I think that's going to be
good across the board.
983
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,100
And then in terms of the
conference 8, gains more or less
984
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:35,200
is enough, especially with
conferences as large as 14.
985
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,300
Yeah, a vs9, does it really
change a whole lot?
986
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,300
Not a lot.
What it helps you do though, is
987
00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:47,000
it's going to give you more
markets and people are asking
988
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,200
why do you do this?
If you go out west and you get
989
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:54,100
four more larger TV, Markets.
Again, you're expanding your
990
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,300
Aces and some people say well
that's stupid.
991
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,700
Why would Virginia Tech want to
try to expand into California?
992
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:03,600
Because there's a lot of
football players in California.
993
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,800
It makes sense to the West Coast
teams.
994
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,400
Let's get on the East Coast for
the East Coast.
995
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,700
Let's get on the West Coast.
Simply that's the revenue in
996
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:16,200
general from the TV money.
I mean they're more eyes on it
997
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,500
on the screen drives that money
up, man.
998
01:00:19,500 --> 01:00:21,100
That's that's what it's all
about.
999
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,300
Dance.
Like more games, they get more
1000
01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:25,600
eyes on them.
Then that's a good thing.
1001
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:30,300
There's nothing more intriguing
than competitive teams.
1002
01:00:30,300 --> 01:00:32,800
Playing non-traditional
opponents in games that fucking
1003
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,700
matter.
Bingo buddy.
1004
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:38,100
All right guys.
So before we get further into
1005
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:42,100
the main topic tonight of us,
predicting the hole, Season
1006
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:44,100
record.
We are going to take a quick
1007
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:46,500
pause for a message from our
digital partner.
1008
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,200
All right, buddy, we are back
here after our brief break there
1009
01:00:51,900 --> 01:00:55,100
and we're going to get right
into the main topic.
1010
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:57,900
So we're talking about our
prediction for the Hokies season
1011
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:02,700
in 2021.
And before we really get into
1012
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:07,900
what we think on the gains that
are that matter, we're going to
1013
01:01:07,900 --> 01:01:14,300
go ahead and put six games in
the W column, right?
1014
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:17,600
Out the gate.
We feel like on paper, The Hokey
1015
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,700
should win these games.
Barring catastrophic injuries.
1016
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:25,600
That happened during the season,
so that is Middle Tennessee,
1017
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,600
State.
University of Richmond,
1018
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,600
Syracuse.
Georgia, Tech Duke and UVA.
1019
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:37,000
Based on what we think about
this team.
1020
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,100
We feel like Virginia Tech
should handle their business
1021
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:45,500
against these teams.
Yes, we came to a consensus last
1022
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:50,700
week after talking with Brett
getting deeper into pick six,
1023
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:54,600
previews article reading, some
other Publications, kind of
1024
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,600
talking seeing in general.
We should win all six of these
1025
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:03,100
games. if we lose one or
potentially multiple of these
1026
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:08,800
games, heads should roll, In
certain people should not be in
1027
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,900
positions.
Come roughly, December 8th.
1028
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,800
Thing is the timeframe this
year.
1029
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,600
On paper, we match up
significantly.
1030
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,200
With all these teams, these
teams are all struggling.
1031
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:22,600
I know everybody keeps telling
me, Middle, Tennessee, State,
1032
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,100
and Florida State players.
There's a reason Florida State
1033
01:02:25,100 --> 01:02:28,300
players left Florida.
State in, did not land at any
1034
01:02:28,300 --> 01:02:29,900
other school, but Middle
Tennessee.
1035
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,700
I'm sorry.
You can say they're athletic,
1036
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:35,500
they're great.
If they were that great, they
1037
01:02:35,500 --> 01:02:36,800
would have found their way onto
a piece.
1038
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,400
Boxing.
Do you agree with that run?
1039
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:44,500
That's a fair assessment.
I mean I think they could still
1040
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:48,100
be what I would consider
starting caliber players on
1041
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:50,900
power 5 schools.
I don't think their game
1042
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:54,700
changers and I think that's the
difference there, you know,
1043
01:02:54,700 --> 01:02:58,400
we're not talking about someone
that's going to go out there,
1044
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:03,400
and if they were on a power 5
team, they'd be a potential
1045
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,400
all-conference player.
These are guys that if they were
1046
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,600
on a power five Squad, that
probably maybe start, maybe a
1047
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,200
rotational player.
They're trying to go and be a
1048
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,100
star for a Middle, Tennessee
State.
1049
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:20,200
So that's my assessment.
I think you're pretty much spot
1050
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:25,500
on there.
And, you know, we've got several
1051
01:03:25,500 --> 01:03:29,000
other conference teams there
that are just, you know, we
1052
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,900
talked about it last week,
Syracuse is flailing, Duke is
1053
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:38,300
awful.
Georgia Tech is unpredictable
1054
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:43,200
and UVA, doesn't have a
secondary, and I'm not sure if
1055
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,300
they've got enough defense
elsewhere to compensate for it.
1056
01:03:46,700 --> 01:03:49,100
There you go, so there's our
assessment.
1057
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,800
So, the go ahead, write that
down.
1058
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,300
Everybody.
Currently we are at six and up.
1059
01:03:56,100 --> 01:04:00,900
Let's jump buddy, first game of
the season, North Carolina.
1060
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,900
I'll let you lead on this one.
All you're going to Let Me Lie,
1061
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,900
buddy.
Yeah, so we're going to come
1062
01:04:07,900 --> 01:04:10,400
into Lane Stadium next Friday
night, 6 p.m.
1063
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:15,200
ESPN, five and a half Point
favorites on the road in the
1064
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,300
terror Dome and I'm sitting here
and they're ranked and it got
1065
01:04:19,300 --> 01:04:22,000
Sam.
How man he's gonna be a number
1066
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,200
one particular texture.
He is all number one, pick,
1067
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,900
great player.
I decided to do some math.
1068
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:31,000
Okay, in this is what I found
out.
1069
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:36,300
So, Michael Carter.
Running back.
1070
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,600
Gone.
Correct.
1071
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,400
Yep.
Devante Williams running back
1072
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:40,300
gone.
Correct.
1073
01:04:40,500 --> 01:04:43,400
Yep.
Tommy Brown running back going.
1074
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:44,600
Correct?
Yep.
1075
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:46,200
City wide receiver wide
receiver.
1076
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:49,300
Dad's new.
Some wide receiver going.
1077
01:04:49,300 --> 01:04:50,900
Correct.
Correct.
1078
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,900
Are they sitting in the transfer
portal or on another team for a
1079
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:57,000
grad?
Transfer year?
1080
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,700
No, they are all in NFL Training
Camps.
1081
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:07,000
All making rosters.
By the way, Brian Michael Court
1082
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,600
in the New York Jets is running
back.
1083
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,900
Late rounds next.
Uh next Tuesday night, ha ha ha.
1084
01:05:13,100 --> 01:05:15,800
So we're drafting next Tuesday.
Guess yeah.
1085
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,900
We've got a fan together.
All those guys are gone in their
1086
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:25,400
careers, which primarily is the
last two seasons, they made up
1087
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:31,400
10,000 and 42 yards from
scrimmage and eighty three
1088
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,200
touchdowns.
All of that is gone.
1089
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,300
I think Bo Corrales is a good
receiver.
1090
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:42,900
I don't think boat Corrales can
make up that much production
1091
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:52,800
along with guys who have really
never played. and lastly, last
1092
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,300
week was mentioned that they're
returning all five of their
1093
01:05:55,300 --> 01:06:00,300
starters on the offensive line.
Well, that's good.
1094
01:06:01,100 --> 01:06:07,000
But when an offensive line gives
up sacks, her attempt 104 out,
1095
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:12,000
120 teams, that ain't great Bob.
And without those two Dynamic
1096
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,200
running backs to run that RPO
offense I think the Hokies are
1097
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,900
going to shock the world next
Friday.
1098
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,800
We'll get into a deeper next
week.
1099
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:25,400
Give me a w to lead off the
season run so I am it.
1100
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,700
Stepping it up.
Curtis with the Hokie upset to
1101
01:06:30,700 --> 01:06:35,200
lead things off there.
Where you at not so fast.
1102
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,200
My friend.
Oh man, well, folks.
1103
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:43,900
Go ahead.
Put bribes at 6 and 10 I think I
1104
01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:47,400
think this is going to be a very
close game, but I think the
1105
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,900
experience of Sam Howell and the
Improvement of that defense and
1106
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:58,200
probably our offense while not
anemic or anything by that
1107
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,100
nature.
Taking probably a small step
1108
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,200
back especially in the running
game.
1109
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,600
I think we're going to have,
we're not going to have the
1110
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,900
ability to put up quite as many
points as we were able to
1111
01:07:07,900 --> 01:07:09,700
especially in the second half
last year.
1112
01:07:10,700 --> 01:07:14,200
And I think just the experience
of how that offensive line and
1113
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,600
that improved defense is going
to be enough to get them over
1114
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,700
the hump.
So I predict a somewhat high
1115
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:26,000
scoring game kind of like a 3833
3835 somewhere in that that
1116
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,100
range but I think UNC pulls the
W.
1117
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,700
All right, so Brian has just
taken the loss at UNC.
1118
01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:35,000
I have a stake in the w.
We will get deeper into this
1119
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,200
game next week, folks, who join
us back here.
1120
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,300
Same time, and watch it.
All right, let's move on.
1121
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,400
On we've already checked at
Middle Tennessee State off.
1122
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,300
Now, we're going to go to West
Virginia, Braun, what do you
1123
01:07:46,300 --> 01:07:50,300
think happens with the black
diamond trophy about a month
1124
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:55,400
from now?
Well, buddy, we are keeping the
1125
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,600
Black Diamond trophy.
Go on.
1126
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,200
I think on paper are a better
team.
1127
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,200
I think we're going to be able
to score enough points against
1128
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,400
this team even with some step
back in our offense.
1129
01:08:06,900 --> 01:08:10,500
And I think our improved defense
is going to do just enough in
1130
01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:13,900
that raucous atmosphere to pull
out a lake w.
1131
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,200
All right.
I'm going to dump now.
1132
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,100
I have seven and one I think we
lose this game because I think
1133
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:30,500
the home field advantage is
going to be massive for them
1134
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,600
even at a noon kick, which it's
going to be.
1135
01:08:34,100 --> 01:08:37,100
I think that is going to be one
of the biggest things is, we
1136
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:41,700
know, from our days of being
fans of long time ago.
1137
01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:45,000
When we played every year, that
is not a fun place to play, they
1138
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,200
are a bunch of assholes.
Throw shit.
1139
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:51,300
They do a lot of dirty shit.
I think they're really burning
1140
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:55,600
couches, burning couches, but I
think they are yearning to get
1141
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,399
that trophy back.
They haven't had it in 17 years.
1142
01:08:59,899 --> 01:09:04,500
Now besides that couple other
reasons, they lost three really
1143
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:08,899
key defenders in Tyreke Smith
Draiman and Darius Stills
1144
01:09:08,899 --> 01:09:11,899
obviously Darius still, I think
everybody knows Derek Stills.
1145
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:14,100
Were pretty high in the draft
was really looked at Harlan
1146
01:09:14,100 --> 01:09:16,899
defensive line, but they still
turn a turn.
1147
01:09:16,899 --> 01:09:20,300
Turn a Ton of production on the
defensive side of the ball.
1148
01:09:21,500 --> 01:09:24,300
So I think that is going to be
one thing with the raucous
1149
01:09:24,300 --> 01:09:26,800
crowd.
Again, we're not a terrible
1150
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,899
offense, but we're not good
enough to probably overcome both
1151
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,899
of those things.
Now, one thing that does give me
1152
01:09:33,899 --> 01:09:37,700
pause Is your quarterback
Garrett Dodge.
1153
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:41,000
He is a non-jew threat
quarterback so you don't have to
1154
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:47,600
worry about his legs and he's
not a good deep passer of the
1155
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,600
ball.
So it's one of those things
1156
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:57,500
where even though I see us
losing, I think a tight game.
1157
01:09:57,900 --> 01:09:59,100
I think a tight game.
Right.
1158
01:09:59,100 --> 01:10:02,400
Right now, as we sit, I mean,
some you super tight talk to me
1159
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:07,700
three weeks from now, once we
beat Carolina and maybe Middle,
1160
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:09,800
Tennessee, State.
And I'm six beers deep on a
1161
01:10:09,808 --> 01:10:12,100
Wednesday night, maybe I changed
my mind.
1162
01:10:12,300 --> 01:10:15,100
But right now, I just don't
think it's going to be enough.
1163
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,200
We're probably going to lose
like a 35-point game there at
1164
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,300
the moment.
Okay Brian.
1165
01:10:22,300 --> 01:10:26,200
Let's go to Notre Dame.
You will meet a go.
1166
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,300
You want to go?
I'll let you leave this one,
1167
01:10:29,300 --> 01:10:31,000
buddy.
You're going to let me leave
1168
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,200
this one, maybe this is the
trend here.
1169
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:41,500
I absolutely toggled with this
one back and forth over and over
1170
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:44,100
and over.
And then when I talked with
1171
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:48,500
bread and we had our
conversation with Brett and as
1172
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:52,600
he discussed, Jack Conte and
book, I think Ian book is an
1173
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,900
exceptional, Collegiate
quarterback has potential to be
1174
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:58,500
an NFL quarterback.
Be a little bit bigger than arm.
1175
01:10:58,500 --> 01:11:00,700
I think you would have been
probably the first two round
1176
01:11:00,700 --> 01:11:07,500
pick with the big piece.
That Brent discussing it just
1177
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:10,100
kept grinding, that me, one of
the guys is on the 49ers and
1178
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,700
Arron Banks, one of the guards,
they lost four offensive line
1179
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:17,800
starters.
Three of those guys went in the
1180
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,700
first three rounds of the draft.
If you're going in the first
1181
01:11:20,700 --> 01:11:23,100
three rounds of the draft, you
are either going to be an
1182
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:26,000
immediate starter and or an
immediate swing player
1183
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,000
immediately in the NFL.
Yep.
1184
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:34,300
And you know the total return of
production you know, isn't
1185
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:41,000
terrible on the offense.
It's not that bad overall but
1186
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,600
when you lose your quarterback
the core of your offensive line
1187
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,500
and you know the Fence, you
know, their return, a lot of
1188
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:51,000
good starters to on the
defensive line 2 and line backer
1189
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,500
room.
One in the back end.
1190
01:11:53,700 --> 01:11:57,000
They're under Freeman now.
So it's, you know, we're going
1191
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,400
to have about a month paper on
Freeman before we go into that
1192
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,100
game.
You know, like to learn
1193
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:04,300
multiple, you know, he likes to
do things different.
1194
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:11,100
But I think because of the way
our defensive line Looks in the
1195
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:15,400
first date.
I think this is going to be a
1196
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,400
rehash.
You ready?
1197
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:20,500
For the game Run.
She's going to rehash of 2019.
1198
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,400
But there's going to be.
If you scramble from Braxton
1199
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:29,200
Burmeister late, I think we look
at that game as a one-possession
1200
01:12:29,500 --> 01:12:33,800
a one field goal game but I
think when they gets his biggest
1201
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,700
win in the arrow.
So right there, I'm at 18 1.
1202
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,700
What about you?
I got this one as a loss, as
1203
01:12:43,700 --> 01:12:48,600
well, man.
Yeah, and it really comes down
1204
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,100
to a couple factors, it's going
to be Karen Williams, Chris
1205
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:55,800
Tyree, and a defense that
returns a lot of production.
1206
01:12:57,100 --> 01:13:01,800
I think Marcus Freeman is going
to potentially get even a little
1207
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,400
bit more out of those ranked
with running the multiple
1208
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,900
because you're going to see a
little bit of a different look
1209
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:10,200
and offenses, will be able to
get comfortable and make any
1210
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,300
keys.
And I think there's with the
1211
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:15,500
returning production, you're not
going to see a drop-off in the
1212
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:18,500
top end level of play for them
while.
1213
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:20,800
I think that's going to be a big
impact on their all their
1214
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:26,200
offense losing you know for
multi-year starters three of
1215
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,900
which were draft picks to in the
second round.
1216
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:35,200
One of the third I just I'm not
sure if that alone is going to
1217
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,300
be enough for us to get over the
hump against them, at that point
1218
01:13:38,300 --> 01:13:40,700
of the Season.
All right, well, let me ask
1219
01:13:40,700 --> 01:13:42,700
this.
Before we close this down.
1220
01:13:42,700 --> 01:13:46,400
Brian is now seven and two.
I made in one good Lord we're
1221
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,500
going to go to the coastal
chance.
1222
01:13:47,500 --> 01:13:50,500
We're going with the coastal if
I keep going like this, let me
1223
01:13:50,500 --> 01:13:53,800
ask this.
Do you see this being a rehash
1224
01:13:53,800 --> 01:14:00,600
of 2019 or 2018?
I think it's going to be closer
1225
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,400
to 2090.
I think this is definitely a
1226
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,500
close down to the wire game.
You're going to see.
1227
01:14:04,500 --> 01:14:07,900
This is an absolute dog fight at
night in.
1228
01:14:07,900 --> 01:14:10,500
Yeah, I think we're going to
struggle up and down.
1229
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:12,600
I think we'll be able to move
the ball somewhat against them
1230
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:17,100
but I think we have a hard time
finding the end zone and I think
1231
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:20,100
they're going to have they're
gonna hit some big plays against
1232
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:21,900
us in the running game but
they're going to struggle to
1233
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:24,000
move the ball consistently in
the passing game.
1234
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,500
Because we'll be able to get
after their quarterback so that
1235
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:31,400
that's how I think the game is
going to go, nothing's gonna be
1236
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,500
a tight one down at the end, but
I think they'll just have enough
1237
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:35,100
gas to get over the hump against
us.
1238
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:37,600
All right.
Again, folks, talk to us and
1239
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,600
five weeks.
We might have very different
1240
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,800
opinions on this, you know.
And again, this is us looking
1241
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,900
where we are now in.
I think as we get to kind of the
1242
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,500
Middle Point here, this is what
it is.
1243
01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:52,700
This is what we're seeing as we
are now.
1244
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,000
I think I'm looking at an
Mystical and I think Brian's a
1245
01:14:56,008 --> 01:14:58,200
football player that's been on
the field, a lot more than me.
1246
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,200
So he's taking a little bit of a
different look, but if y'all are
1247
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,900
coming in at us in three weeks
and we'll Curtis, you said we're
1248
01:15:04,900 --> 01:15:07,400
going to lose West Virginia.
Now, you got us winning why?
1249
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:11,700
Well, because I've seen Game
tape and it's different
1250
01:15:11,700 --> 01:15:13,200
opinions.
All right?
1251
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,400
Brian?
I'm going to let you leave this
1252
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,900
one.
Yeah, comes to Lane stadium in
1253
01:15:17,900 --> 01:15:21,200
October.
What do you think on that one?
1254
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:25,200
That's a fucking W for the
Hokies that in our dues.
1255
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,500
He cannot win in Lane.
We're going to eat.
1256
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:31,200
Kenny pick it alive.
It's going to be fun.
1257
01:15:33,700 --> 01:15:37,200
Like at this point can he pick?
It is what he is there to live
1258
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,400
and die by what he's able to do
and how much they're able to
1259
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,700
help him in every game.
I think that defense takes a big
1260
01:15:44,700 --> 01:15:47,500
step back this year, losing a
lot of talent to the NFL.
1261
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,800
And I don't think all of a
sudden, can he pick?
1262
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,900
It is going to be a new new
player.
1263
01:15:52,900 --> 01:15:57,000
We know, we know his floor and
we know his ceiling and I think
1264
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,800
we're going to get more of the
same, but I think we're going to
1265
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,600
be doing a lot.
Better job of making him
1266
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,600
uncomfortable.
This year and just for some
1267
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:08,800
reason when we play pit in Lane
it is completely different than
1268
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,800
playing pit in Heinz Field.
Exactly.
1269
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,600
You know what Whitney's to like
schedule that game every year
1270
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,400
and make it be at FedEx.
Now we do not know, let's just
1271
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:19,900
do it at FedEx.
It's a little point for
1272
01:16:19,900 --> 01:16:21,400
everybody.
Y'all can't put anybody in the
1273
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:25,200
stands anyway.
We have agreed for the first
1274
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:30,200
time and I Braun I say we take
the W similar lot of stuff.
1275
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:34,300
You said you know pits offenses
bringing a ton of production
1276
01:16:34,300 --> 01:16:38,000
back and you take less the
Virginia Tech game last year
1277
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,900
that offense was not good.
It did not produce and kill.
1278
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:43,500
Kenny pig is still the
quarterback.
1279
01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:45,300
We know what he can do, what he
can do.
1280
01:16:45,700 --> 01:16:48,700
So where's your one big piece in
the defense you already
1281
01:16:48,700 --> 01:16:50,100
mentioned?
They lost a ton.
1282
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:55,500
They really lost their top.
Five players in Hamlin Ford
1283
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,200
Wyman.
There to their two, best players
1284
01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,900
in the secondary.
Their three best players on the
1285
01:16:59,900 --> 01:17:02,100
defense of huh?
And I mean they had a couple of
1286
01:17:02,108 --> 01:17:05,900
young guys that DT get, you
know, All-American nods.
1287
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,300
But I don't and they can
definitely ramp up and get some
1288
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:10,700
production back on that fence
blonde.
1289
01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:13,000
I don't think they get enough
production back to get them
1290
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,600
where they need to be to beat
Team like Virginia Tech.
1291
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,900
I also wonder if Kenny picket
can't play, if the hit ad
1292
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:25,600
finally says, dude, you stuck
with this guy for three bleep in
1293
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,100
years, he's not Good.
Do something different or you're
1294
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:31,500
fired?
I think that's the problem is
1295
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:33,400
getting, it's not the Kenny
Pickett isn't good, it's that
1296
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,900
he's not good enough to hide all
the other deficiencies that they
1297
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:42,700
have on that offense and but but
they expect that of him, they
1298
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:45,200
put that on him and he's just
not that guy.
1299
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,800
Now they have whether they have
that.
1300
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,300
Got on the roster is another
question.
1301
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:51,200
I don't think they do
necessarily I think Kenny
1302
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,900
pickets their best option at
quarterback but that doesn't
1303
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:56,700
mean that he's the guy that's
going to get it done.
1304
01:17:57,700 --> 01:18:00,600
So Kenny pick it is their best
option at quarterback.
1305
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,200
Are you that what you're saying?
Yeah, well you can't pick.
1306
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:10,900
Its record is 21 and 17 in three
seasons and we're probably going
1307
01:18:10,900 --> 01:18:14,400
to see just above five hundred
play from them again this year
1308
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,900
guys.
It's going to be six and six or
1309
01:18:15,900 --> 01:18:19,900
seven and five seven and five
get bank that shit right now.
1310
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:23,800
All right.
Maybe that's when we do lay, we
1311
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,400
lay on the apps here, pit.
Under whatever their number is,
1312
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,100
I think it is seven and a half.
So I think we feel safe on that.
1313
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:34,800
Let's move on Brian.
Let's go to be A game last year
1314
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,800
that, you know, it looked like a
blowout, you did it look like an
1315
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,500
absolute destruction.
It was 42 14, or something like
1316
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:45,400
that.
We won by more than three
1317
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,800
touchdowns.
Sorry, I don't remember the
1318
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:54,200
number on, but we force five
turnovers and you know the story
1319
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,600
kind of coming in 4 BC, this
year's can Frank.
1320
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,900
Cignetti a guy who was coach for
a long time NFL and college
1321
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,400
coach some good quarterbacks
along as Away, can he have
1322
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,400
filled your canvas take that
step?
1323
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,700
Because they house, they have
one of the best offensive lines
1324
01:19:09,700 --> 01:19:11,900
about owning the ACC.
But in the country they have a
1325
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:14,600
bunch of good weapons.
Its kind of struggling with the
1326
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,000
running back position, but I
think with a guy like jerk
1327
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,900
eviction the weapons on the
outside that can be hidden.
1328
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:24,500
I think he's going to take the
step and, you know, on the
1329
01:19:24,500 --> 01:19:27,200
fence.
It's can a secondary disk
1330
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:31,000
progress up because they run a
victory and a half.
1331
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,900
They want to cover 1, cover
three scheme, That's what
1332
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:35,500
they're running.
That's the look.
1333
01:19:35,500 --> 01:19:38,500
You're going to get there.
They're not variation.
1334
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:41,000
I'm giving you multiples.
That's what they do.
1335
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,300
So if that can take a step and I
think jerky, which is going to
1336
01:19:45,308 --> 01:19:51,600
take a step and I think if this
was a Saturday game may be
1337
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,600
coming off of, you know, a
normal week, we'd be able to
1338
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:01,900
pull the W, but I'm going to
give us the L here and maybe the
1339
01:20:01,900 --> 01:20:06,200
only thing I can see is Is maybe
they're good and they're like
1340
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,400
six six or seven Lynch coming in
in the Stadium's, a little bit
1341
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,900
electric to where it gives our
guys some juice.
1342
01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:15,100
But that's the end.
You know, I think jerk a bitch
1343
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:19,200
is actually going to become a
first-round quarterback because
1344
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,000
of what he is probably going to
Pittsburgh.
1345
01:20:22,100 --> 01:20:23,500
Okay.
Okay.
1346
01:20:23,900 --> 01:20:26,400
What do you think he's going to
be become literally
1347
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,800
Roethlisberger 2.0, though.
Exactly.
1348
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:34,600
Where the last name one person.
Okay, okay, I'm right there with
1349
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,000
you bud.
I've got this one as an L, as
1350
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,800
well, and it comes down to jirka
Vic.
1351
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:46,200
It comes down to what I think
will be a slightly improved
1352
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,100
defense.
Especially in terms of limiting,
1353
01:20:48,100 --> 01:20:54,000
the big explosive plays
especially from the Position and
1354
01:20:55,300 --> 01:20:57,600
I think just an extra year of
season is going to be just
1355
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,600
enough to get them over the hump
because that game was not as
1356
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,900
close was a lot closer than I
should say.
1357
01:21:02,900 --> 01:21:06,000
A lot closer than what the
scoreboard indicated last year.
1358
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,200
You mentioned the five turnovers
you when you have five turnovers
1359
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,600
but you only have that that
margin of Victory.
1360
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,200
I mean tells you that that's a
pretty close game.
1361
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,200
That was probably a one score
game.
1362
01:21:18,500 --> 01:21:22,400
If they play to their average in
terms of turnover, Differential
1363
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,400
right.
Being yeah, pretty much, you
1364
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,000
know?
But that is what it is.
1365
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:35,100
All right, Brian.
So currently now, I'm not into
1366
01:21:35,700 --> 01:21:41,300
your Aiden 3 so we're not that
far off from one another What do
1367
01:21:41,308 --> 01:21:49,200
you think about Miami?
But that's going to be know I'll
1368
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,500
damn even even losing all their
defensive line.
1369
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,100
Yeah I think they do a pretty
good job of reloading and I
1370
01:21:58,100 --> 01:22:03,400
think that the Eric King is
going to have a monster year if
1371
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:09,500
he can remain healthy.
I'm not looking forward to this
1372
01:22:09,500 --> 01:22:13,900
game very much you know they
didn't do too bad in terms of
1373
01:22:13,900 --> 01:22:18,500
returning Talent they return
some of their their production
1374
01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:23,200
from last year but really A lot
of the production of offense and
1375
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:29,100
a good amount on defense.
So this may be the year that
1376
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:33,200
Manny Diaz figures it out and
kind of gets them to play
1377
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:39,400
consistently to their level of
talent compared to having those
1378
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,900
about two or three, Clunkers in
the year that either they lose,
1379
01:22:43,900 --> 01:22:46,600
or they play down to an opponent
that they should and barely
1380
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:51,600
scrape out a win.
So I think look for them to
1381
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:56,000
potentially.
Also this other potentially push
1382
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,900
you and see for the ACC Coastal
Championship.
1383
01:22:59,300 --> 01:23:01,500
All right, so bronze, kind of
locked it in.
1384
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:04,200
Here.
He is now eight wins for losses
1385
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,000
for the Hokies essentially
probably finishing any somewhere
1386
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,600
between second and third, right?
Depending on what happened to
1387
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,400
say, for the third third and the
coastal.
1388
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,400
I've got, actually, my Emmy
winning the coastal.
1389
01:23:15,500 --> 01:23:17,300
A Miami one in the coaster.
All right.
1390
01:23:17,900 --> 01:23:20,300
Well, I'm taking this.
Anil as well, folks.
1391
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,500
But let me just say this
everything is determined on
1392
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:26,300
Derek Kings health of how they
do this year.
1393
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:30,100
Those two other guys are not
even close to ready.
1394
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:33,500
Come November, they still will
not be as close to ready and
1395
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:38,700
there's one thing that kind of
caught my that what makes the
1396
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:46,000
are king So Special.
If you look Thank you, thank you
1397
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,600
T.
SS M for saying this is cool.
1398
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,000
Thank you for this.
There's one thing I looked at
1399
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,400
Brown that will probably shock
you from last year.
1400
01:23:54,400 --> 01:24:00,200
Miami's elusive plays wasn't was
significantly in the red last
1401
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,300
year.
Okay, on both sides of the ball
1402
01:24:03,300 --> 01:24:06,200
or on machine on both sides but
on passing and running nails.
1403
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,900
But that team was still able to
put up over 440 yards of offense
1404
01:24:11,900 --> 01:24:14,600
a game and over 34 points a
game.
1405
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,900
That's why I say this is the
Fate lies on how the Eric King
1406
01:24:18,900 --> 01:24:23,400
is coming off as a CEO because
the way it seems is teams
1407
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,600
respected.
His running ability so much,
1408
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:29,600
they were not going to give up
the big runs, right?
1409
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,900
They weren't, but what they did,
because of that, you are getting
1410
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:40,100
the Old Death By A Thousand
Seven yard cut. they were
1411
01:24:40,100 --> 01:24:45,900
getting yards if you take the
air King out of this offense, I
1412
01:24:45,907 --> 01:24:48,400
think they finish not first.
Not second, not third.
1413
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,100
I think they finished fourth in
the coaster.
1414
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:53,000
Let us live with you.
They will.
1415
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,700
This will be a very live and die
by here.
1416
01:24:55,700 --> 01:24:57,400
Healthy, dear King.
Is it really is?
1417
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,500
If he, if he plays 12 games, I
think it's there.
1418
01:25:01,500 --> 01:25:03,900
There right there with you and
see to win the coastal.
1419
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:07,800
Yep, if he plays, I think it's
pretty much a toss-up, if he's
1420
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,600
healthy for 12 games, if he
plays every game, they win the
1421
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,400
coastal.
They, when you're with me,
1422
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,000
you're picking them to win the
coastal to I'm with you if he's
1423
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:20,300
healthy, they when the coastal.
Okay, we finished second though
1424
01:25:20,500 --> 01:25:25,200
because I think, oh, he's just
throw the, I got us - I've got a
1425
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:31,000
smile and if you've got them,
probably what 10 into 10 into,
1426
01:25:31,300 --> 01:25:35,700
we're will be, they'll be
tending to Alabama, they'll
1427
01:25:35,700 --> 01:25:37,000
probably screw up one other
time.
1428
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,800
They'll do a typical - so you
think that game is going to
1429
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,700
decide the coastal.
Yep, because I think you and
1430
01:25:43,700 --> 01:25:45,500
sees not only going to lose to
us.
1431
01:25:46,700 --> 01:25:49,600
I think UNC about UNC schedule
here.
1432
01:25:49,700 --> 01:25:52,200
This is the great.
Wonderful thing of streaming
1433
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,400
folks, Brian usually could edit
this, to make it not seem as
1434
01:25:55,400 --> 01:26:00,000
long everything in real time.
Lee isn't operating in real
1435
01:26:00,700 --> 01:26:02,400
reliable.
That means.
1436
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,700
So I think UNC is going to use
to us.
1437
01:26:09,300 --> 01:26:11,400
I think UNC is going to lose to
Miami.
1438
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:17,400
And I think UNC is going to get
tripped up by NC State.
1439
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,100
I could see that in feast and
definitely seemed to watch out
1440
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:26,800
and potential Notre Dame because
they play Notre Dame, much they
1441
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,600
play Notre Dame three weeks
after we played them.
1442
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,800
So you got UNC pulling 3 plus
losses for their lose.
1443
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,500
Four games are going to go
ahead, a okay, they're going to
1444
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:41,100
go in for and is NC.
State is probably the team that
1445
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:45,100
could snake bite them this year.
And that's a lot of getting from
1446
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:48,400
weekend.
Probably, that I'm pretty.
1447
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,000
Hi on NC State.
I should say I'm a lot higher on
1448
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:57,500
n.c. state than I have been in
any point the the last Five
1449
01:26:57,500 --> 01:27:00,300
years, at least, I mean, his in
Sea, state is probably the one
1450
01:27:00,300 --> 01:27:04,600
team in the Atlantic to watch
out for exactly.
1451
01:27:04,700 --> 01:27:06,600
So I'm not in three bronze
eight.
1452
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,700
Informed, that is our current
predictions entertainment
1453
01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:15,600
purposes, only Billy Ray.
What is happening, buddy?
1454
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,100
On the Saturday shall know that.
We appreciate you guys watching
1455
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:25,200
us tonight.
So we let me ask this Braun
1456
01:27:25,700 --> 01:27:29,500
either of our records black
Monday comes.
1457
01:27:29,500 --> 01:27:32,100
This just point, they still have
a job if he wants it.
1458
01:27:34,900 --> 01:27:38,300
I think at this point given what
we saw for the happened last
1459
01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:44,000
year, if it's a Twins or better,
I think we're looking at another
1460
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,700
year of Justin Fuente.
I think you're right.
1461
01:27:49,100 --> 01:27:52,300
I think he wins is the threshold
if he wins nine.
1462
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,100
Well we're all happy not
completely happy because the
1463
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:59,000
gold every mistake, I think the
threshold could be potentially
1464
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,600
lower in necessarily say that
that's a good thing.
1465
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,900
I'm just saying I think based on
the information we got from last
1466
01:28:06,900 --> 01:28:10,400
year I think I'm mining that
with we're in the middle of a
1467
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,300
major campaign for Reach For
Excellence.
1468
01:28:14,300 --> 01:28:18,200
I feel like just there's a lot
of factors where Wit may not
1469
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:23,500
want to upset the apple cart
unless things, get ugly, got it.
1470
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:29,700
And when I say that, I mean, no
bowl, no, no, UVA win essential
1471
01:28:29,700 --> 01:28:32,400
essentially, those six games.
I said we're booking.
1472
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:39,300
We're putting you began the Elle
column and then yeah, and that's
1473
01:28:39,300 --> 01:28:41,400
when we get in trouble and
that's when we started having
1474
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,400
similar conversations that we
had last offseason and I'm not
1475
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,200
saying that that's necessarily
my expectations of what I think
1476
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,500
we should do.
I'm just saying, I feel like
1477
01:28:51,500 --> 01:28:55,000
based on the information that we
have, that's the most likely
1478
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,100
outcome.
Awesome.
1479
01:28:57,700 --> 01:29:01,100
All right.
So folks, we got a, we got a, we
1480
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:03,700
got a big question here from the
sun's real quick before we close
1481
01:29:03,700 --> 01:29:08,200
out.
What game scares you more BC or
1482
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:15,000
pit so at BC or pit in Lane BC
100% 1000%?
1483
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:20,200
No. 138 percent ever seen that
on the commitment to the 138
1484
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:25,500
percent, BC scares me more
because we know what we get on
1485
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:31,100
offense from pit sons and we
know on defense, you don't
1486
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:33,800
replace that many guys that go
to the league.
1487
01:29:34,500 --> 01:29:39,000
Become an elite unit, and even
with the elite unit they had
1488
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,900
last year.
If you remember that game Braun,
1489
01:29:40,900 --> 01:29:44,100
we were pissed but it literally
took us to the third quarter to
1490
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:47,000
get pissed.
It's not like they came out and
1491
01:29:47,500 --> 01:29:52,900
it's not like them at Lane in
2019 when we were there and
1492
01:29:52,900 --> 01:29:57,300
after the first quarter, we just
knew his games over there.
1493
01:29:57,300 --> 01:30:00,800
Yeah, you gotta be see.
I mean, say what you will about
1494
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,800
the stadium size, but they get
it rocking up there in Chestnut
1495
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,000
Hill, man.
Now, and that's why I'm hoping
1496
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,600
they have a good record because
a Friday night game up there.
1497
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:14,800
If it's rocking and get some
electricity, it will definitely
1498
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,600
give a better chance for us.
If we go up there and they're
1499
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,100
like four and four.
And I know that's been us saying
1500
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:22,000
with jirka bitch didn't take a
step with your coverage.
1501
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000
Could take a step that defense
doesn't.
1502
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,800
They could still be myth, but if
there's no juice in that
1503
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:30,200
stadium, so tough for guys to
get up for yep.
1504
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:35,400
Alright number, so believe it or
not brawn, This is our last
1505
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:43,100
broadcast of 2021 with no
college football bloody yes,
1506
01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:45,900
sir.
We got real games.
1507
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:49,300
This weekend, ladies and
gentlemen, re games conference
1508
01:30:49,300 --> 01:30:51,800
games.
Not the best late.
1509
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:57,000
You've got one, two, three,
four, five, yeah, 5 games.
1510
01:30:59,500 --> 01:31:03,200
I like that TW o SM, it needs to
be a win.
1511
01:31:03,300 --> 01:31:04,800
BC is going to be tough.
I agree.
1512
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,600
We got five games Saturday.
We kick off and we're going to
1513
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,000
pick two of them today.
Y'all know, we normally pick all
1514
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,600
the ACC games involved or most
of them.
1515
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,200
Sometimes it's ones like we
don't even try to look at and at
1516
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,600
least maybe a couple big game,
but we're going to games this
1517
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:21,500
week.
We're looking at the Nebraska
1518
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:24,200
Illinois game and the Hawaii
UCLA game.
1519
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:26,700
Let's start Nebraska, Illinois,
Braun.
1520
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:30,300
And what We've got here is
Nebraska's on the road.
1521
01:31:30,300 --> 01:31:33,700
Scott Frost is in deep shit.
All over the place between not
1522
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,500
games in the assemble a shit and
you've got Illinois Bret,
1523
01:31:38,500 --> 01:31:44,800
Bielema takes over to Illinois.
Back in Big Ten, country back in
1524
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,500
somewhere he's comfortable.
Here's the line.
1525
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,300
Nebraska is lame 7.
This is a tell annoy 55 is the
1526
01:31:53,300 --> 01:31:57,700
over under number the, one p.m.
kick in for all those
1527
01:31:57,700 --> 01:31:59,700
degenerates like us who will
probably be?
1528
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:05,500
I mean I'll be watching.
It is going to be on Fox at
1529
01:32:05,500 --> 01:32:09,500
1:00.
Last year's meeting 4123
1530
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:11,600
Illinois.
So what are you thinking?
1531
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:15,300
This one brand taking a line and
taking an over under which you
1532
01:32:15,300 --> 01:32:20,300
got.
I think Illinois is going to
1533
01:32:20,300 --> 01:32:23,200
cover.
All right, so you're taking
1534
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:25,500
Illinois with the point, right?
Yep.
1535
01:32:26,700 --> 01:32:30,000
All right, so let's my God write
that down.
1536
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:37,300
Um, I'm not screwing with the
stinking spread, I'm just not.
1537
01:32:37,300 --> 01:32:41,300
It's, it's too much going on.
We don't know where Nebraska's
1538
01:32:41,300 --> 01:32:43,300
head is.
Bielema, is trying to install
1539
01:32:43,300 --> 01:32:44,900
something new.
They're probably going back to
1540
01:32:44,900 --> 01:32:47,300
his Wisconsin, roots, in a big
power game.
1541
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,400
Don't know if he has the players
there for Alec Brian is on
1542
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,300
Illinois.
So I really am going to kind of
1543
01:32:52,300 --> 01:32:55,900
pull for them.
I am going to take the over 55.
1544
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:57,200
Okay.
Okay.
1545
01:32:57,900 --> 01:33:00,600
For me, you're staying, you're
staying away from the spread
1546
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,400
because there's too many
variables wait.
1547
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,100
Umi variables.
Also first games it, alright, if
1548
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:12,200
I forced your hand who you got
in the spread, um, if you force
1549
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,300
me on the spread, I think I
would take the Illinois, okay?
1550
01:33:15,300 --> 01:33:18,900
It also could see Nebraska who
has a really good defense
1551
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,200
locking down of converting
offense.
1552
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,900
In winning by, you know, 14 17
points.
1553
01:33:25,900 --> 01:33:30,300
But I'm going to go over because
this game has not went under in
1554
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:32,800
like ever since they started
playing each other in last few
1555
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,800
years.
So I'm over 55.
1556
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:40,800
Brian is Illinois taking the
points and their that is watch
1557
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,500
that game.
I'm going to try to Lodge it.
1558
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:45,700
We've got some stuff going on
Saturday but I think I'll be
1559
01:33:45,700 --> 01:33:48,700
home by 1:00 to get the old man
cave fired up here.
1560
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:52,700
Second game, Brian watching the
West.
1561
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,900
It's Coast, Hawaii.
CLA UCLA.
1562
01:33:55,900 --> 01:33:59,100
Chip, Kelly is essentially in a
make-or-break season for him.
1563
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:04,800
Absolutely, UCLA is laying 18
points in the over under is 68
1564
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:09,600
and a half, what you got.
So I think it's two things here.
1565
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:16,400
UCLA does return a lot on
offense, but They notoriously
1566
01:34:16,500 --> 01:34:19,800
every season start a little
slow.
1567
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:23,200
So I definitely have UCLA
pulling this one out, but I
1568
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:28,200
think Hawaii with that spread
you know, they have a lot of
1569
01:34:28,208 --> 01:34:31,600
points to work with.
I think they, they cover I'm
1570
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,400
with you on that.
I think we'll why covers.
1571
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:38,800
I think UCLA wins over under.
Um, I'd say overall, I think
1572
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:41,000
this is going to turn into a big
shootout which is going to be
1573
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,600
great at 3:30 on a Saturday
afternoon.
1574
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:50,200
Buddy, is anything broken in the
last hour and 36 minutes?
1575
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:54,300
This one a long time?
I haven't seen anything come
1576
01:34:54,300 --> 01:34:56,700
across buddy.

10
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,200
It's been spinning.
Another.
11
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,500
Great week another week off of
work, but we call them work with
12
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:24,800
a lot more work.
I'm no, you're doing more or at
13
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,600
least somewhat equal amount of
work, despite not working.
14
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,300
Meanwhile, I'm over here, I'm
back in the office for the first
15
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:39,300
time, since March of last year,
only this week and then also
16
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:44,100
starting Masters Masters classes
for the semester today.
17
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:48,000
It's been a A full day I
finished up with that about 10
18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,500
minutes before we jumped on
here.
19
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,200
So nice.
How was the commute in from
20
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,100
Mechanicsville downtown?
It's not bad by new parking
21
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,900
spot, has cut 10 minutes off my
walk-in combined with my
22
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,800
commute.
So I'm saving 10 minutes now.
23
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,900
Wait a second.
Did they put you on the side of
24
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:05,700
the river?
I'm on this side of the river
25
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,000
when I'm, no, I'm no longer on
Mayo Island.
26
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:14,400
I am now at the train station.
So you're moving up in the world
27
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,000
down there then.
Yeah man, I'm good.
28
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:21,100
I've got the Primo spots now
that is absolutely sweet man.
29
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,600
And me, I'm just doing me
hanging out with the kid having
30
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,200
a good time much-needed.
Much-needed, time.
31
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,900
And have a great time with her
but it is work.
32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,900
It is work from 5:30 a.m. to
when the wife gets home and but
33
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,900
it's been good, you know, not
many companies, give that you
34
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,400
know, parental leave.
I got a month ago.
35
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,700
It's all Awesome.
I'm going to take a another week
36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,800
and then after Labor, Day back
to the normal grind, and man
37
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:58,400
looking at hokey football, we
have a lot to cover tonight.
38
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Last week with breast pick six
reviews.
39
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,900
Awesome, awesome time with Tim
we spent some time with him
40
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,500
before and after got me even
height for the season.
41
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:12,300
But tonight what we're looking
at, folks are two big topics.
42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,100
We're going to talk about the
alliance announcement.
43
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Yesterday with some people are
clowning on some people saying
44
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,500
it wasn't an announcement.
I got some different views from
45
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:26,700
those two, and then we are going
to give our season preview
46
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,000
record.
Do not take this to Vegas or any
47
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,800
sports adequate might lose
money.
48
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,200
Thank you to Vegas.
I like my pics mu.
49
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,300
This is all Pixar.
For entertainment purposes, only
50
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:43,800
lock it up.
You cannot.
51
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,400
Let's start it out.
We're gonna we're gonna start a
52
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,800
sort out with the, I don't know,
bro, what do you call this?
53
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Let's just call this the
depressing opening.
54
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,400
And let's start with really sad
news from last week.
55
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:03,200
A manual Belmar.
Has to retire, you know, what do
56
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,400
you think, Ronnie?
You played football in.
57
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,500
This guy has to stop before.
Essentially, it's over for him.
58
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,900
Yeah, and I mean, I had to do
something similar for different
59
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:17,700
reasons, so, I mean, it sucks.
Anytime that you still have
60
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,100
eligibility, like, if your
yourself, you'd still be
61
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:24,200
playing, but something else kind
of takes that away from you.
62
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,500
So that aspect of it, always
always.
63
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
It's big time and I feel for
him.
64
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,900
I mean he bled maroon and orange
when he went out on that field
65
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,400
man.
And you know, I felt like he was
66
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,500
starting to come into his own a
little bit towards the end of
67
00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:43,200
last season wanted to see if he
was able to take a step this
68
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,000
season, but with some of those
the concussions and everything
69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
else going on towards the end of
the season, it just looks like
70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,400
he was never able to get back to
to where he needed to be to
71
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,300
play, so unfortunate for him,
but hats off to him.
72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
We'll miss him out there on the
field this year.
73
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,600
Absolutely, I'm hats off to him.
Hats off to him for also, trying
74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,100
it to give it a try and fall
Camp, one more time and then
75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,700
realize where he was he couldn't
do it.
76
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200
There are people out there that
I'm sure would have went through
77
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,200
it.
But obviously, for him, it was a
78
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,200
look down the road in 20 years
since I want to say, when we are
79
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
in our life and we got a wife
and kids and there's going to be
80
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,300
potential consequences down the
road for the Hokies.
81
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,900
Definitely hurts defensive in
you know him gone Alec Bryant
82
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:36,600
gone, Robert wooden gone and
that's big.
83
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,700
You know, we were we were hoping
for Belmar then you know you got
84
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:47,500
a healthy Garbutt back, probably
having a first two lines where
85
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:51,400
you felt pretty good about even
if you weren't necessarily
86
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,800
jumping for joy.
Now, that gets a little bit
87
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,400
sketchy heading into the season.
First line, not not too
88
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,000
concerned about, but kind of
that, that fourth and fifth DN
89
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,800
is where you start seeing a
little bit of.
90
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:12,100
We feel good about Jalen
Griffin, we haven't seen as much
91
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,300
with the question is Cole
stretch Carroll one of these
92
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,900
younger guys, do they take a
prominent role and I think you
93
00:06:18,907 --> 00:06:23,200
know, we're ten days from seeing
that but as far as Belmar goes,
94
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
that man will be forever
remembered for getting on that
95
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,500
ball.
UVA game to extend the streaks,
96
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,500
both ways.
He was there, he got it and you
97
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,500
know, I think there was a
picture of him.
98
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:39,600
Somebody put it on Twitter, it
was a picture of him holding the
99
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:43,000
ball and you could just see the
UVA fans are the faces were
100
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,300
like, oh God.
No, not again, not again, but
101
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,600
Emmanuel Belmar.
Best of luck to you and whatever
102
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,900
you do.
I am sure you're going to do
103
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,700
great things, whatever, Walk of
Life takes you.
104
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:55,800
All right.
Poor sad news.
105
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,900
We're starting all sad because
you You know, we got to get out
106
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,500
of the way early.
I can't make it in today.
107
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:06,300
Xavier Simmons D commits.
Some people said they had known
108
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:10,900
about this for months weeks.
Nothing I don't ever remember
109
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,100
seeing anything.
But again, I'm also got three
110
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,100
kids.
I was running around like
111
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,600
chicken head copped off.
You did a position group, I
112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,900
think we're okay.
It sucks losing because he's an
113
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,800
all-around athlete.
Yep, it's not like a crippling
114
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,900
position.
Where we have no one coming in
115
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,800
or no one already on roster of
talent.
116
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:36,600
Yeah, I mean I've heard things
like family had friend or
117
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,100
acquaintance on coaching staff
there You shot.
118
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:45,000
So it could be something related
to that, but it's still a big
119
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,900
loss for the Hokies.
You can't spend it any other
120
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,600
way.
This was probably our, I'd say,
121
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,700
number two, number three, that
recruit for this cycle and you
122
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:59,000
know, losing a player of that of
that caliber, you know,
123
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,300
composite borderline for Star, 4
Star by 24/7.
124
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,000
I mean, you can't just say, oh,
that's not gonna make a
125
00:08:06,008 --> 00:08:07,300
difference.
It's definitely going to make a
126
00:08:07,308 --> 00:08:09,900
difference, especially the long
Run there.
127
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:15,200
So definitely sucks losing out
on on Xavier Simmons and hurts.
128
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,900
Some of our case that were
trying to make against the, the
129
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:21,100
other people in the ACC, we went
into North Carolina and got one
130
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:24,300
and now, we don't.
So yeah, there's, there's that
131
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:29,800
element of it to now.
He didn't go to UNC vote, but we
132
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,400
have dessert.
When you get a win in, in the
133
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,299
state of North Carolina, you got
to take one and unfortunately we
134
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,000
weren't able to close the deal
and and carry that through to
135
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,600
sign.
Day.
136
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,799
So best of luck to him at
Missouri but I was looking
137
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,000
forward to seeing you in maroon
and orange True.
138
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,700
You talk about the relationship.
It's the Eli drink was
139
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,300
connection, who was a tap stay,
just a couple years ago.
140
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:55,200
So obviously, you know, AB State
just literally probably the same
141
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,500
amount of drive from the 336 as
it is to Blacksburg.
142
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:03,100
So, obviously a connection there
and like you said we had talked
143
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,000
about, he was one of the crown
jewels, right?
144
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Yep.
Gunnar Ramon.
145
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,700
We consider Rashad, we consider,
Him.
146
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800
So you lost a crown jewel.
Now I'm not going to say the
147
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,600
name yet but there is a name
that is coming up more and more
148
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,900
often.
I'll hope these boards from the
149
00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:23,000
state of North Carolina now
playing in Virginia for this
150
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,600
season that be on the lookout
for this guy.
151
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,700
Just I'm not going to say the
name but start reading folks.
152
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,900
The one other thing that I did
not like about his deep
153
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:37,600
commitment he literally did it
right before cam Johnson
154
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400
committed.
Like listen man, you want to D
155
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,700
commit that school, but you
legitimately know this guy's
156
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,600
going to the university that
you're leaving.
157
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:51,000
Just think about that.
That's kind of those life
158
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,200
decision things where it's kind
of like I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm
159
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,000
gonna You're gonna laugh at this
point but it's kind of like if
160
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,600
you get pregnant.
And you go to a friend's
161
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,700
wedding, you do not announce
that you're having a freaking
162
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:08,800
baby at the Friend's Wedding.
You just don't do it is bad
163
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,100
taste.
That's what happened about that
164
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:12,500
and we're going to shut the door
on it.
165
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,900
All right, there next up big guy
and I don't know if necessarily
166
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,800
say this is sad news but it's
kind of out opening news with
167
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,900
Devin Taylor getting in the
transfer portal.
168
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:29,500
How did you read this?
I read that as he was
169
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:34,100
essentially, going to be the
third guy up at boundary safety
170
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,000
because I it looks like they're
cross-training Tay daily both
171
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,500
positions.
Yeah.
172
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,100
And he's essentially going to be
the first Sub in with more than
173
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:50,700
likely counted Jenkins, taking
over at at free and obviously,
174
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:53,700
Devon Hunter locking up boundary
safety.
175
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:57,100
There so sounds left A daily was
going to be the guy that the
176
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:00,400
kind of pivot player and he was
kind of ahead of where Devon
177
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Taylor was at boundary safety
but also the best man up at the
178
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,700
at free as well.
So he probably Devon saw.
179
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,000
It is probably not going to get
him a lot of opportunities on
180
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,200
the field this year, maybe can
go and see what take my talents
181
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,800
somewhere else and get on the
field.
182
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,500
It was, It was kind of the, the
reason he came here, he saw an
183
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:26,900
opportunity last year based on
He came in I mean that was that
184
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:32,500
was kind of big for us your
Shoring up a departure with you
185
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,500
know a cornerback and he was
pegged to play either cornerback
186
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:40,200
or and then we had to end up
moving him over to to safety
187
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,300
once we had started having some
some thinness there.
188
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:47,800
So exactly.
Um it's definitely a little
189
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000
depth concern just because we
felt like we had about four or
190
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
five guys that were that were
ready to play at the safety
191
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,900
position.
Now we're probably close Sir, 2
192
00:11:55,900 --> 00:12:00,600
3 or 4.
So definitely, you know another
193
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,800
the theme of this season ladies
and gentlemen is going to be
194
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,300
depth because Frontline, we're a
decent team.
195
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,400
Yeah, we're probably your, I'll
say it eight or nine when team
196
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,400
if we stay 100% healthy all year
but one injury at certain
197
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,100
positions could drop about three
or four winds off the table
198
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,500
there so you can go home
followed season 2.
199
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,900
A parrot, really.
It would make the last few years
200
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:34,200
when I say that 20 and 18 look
actually decent.
201
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,600
I say the one piece you talk
about a daily.
202
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,500
I think it says tase better at
both.
203
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:41,900
The he is the case.
Essentially, your de facto, it's
204
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:45,200
the old school NCAA, right?
You have the one safety have two
205
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,600
safeties that are 99 and one
backup is a 90, and a 92, and
206
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,300
he's your backup and both and
then the red shirt freshman, you
207
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,900
just put us third string but I
also wonder if Jalen strowman
208
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:00,500
and Walker aren't pushing him to
where it was to a point.
209
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,700
We can't see it.
Is it to a point where I'm not
210
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,700
even really 3D now like I'm 40
I'm five deep like these guys
211
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:11,700
have caught me and have passed
me and I would think more so
212
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,700
that's the case because even if
tase your 1A 1B you still have
213
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,900
potential to be that next man
up.
214
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,100
So you're one injury away from
at least seeing rotational
215
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:22,900
duties.
So yeah.
216
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:26,800
It be it could be that that
Stroman had Asked him even on
217
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,100
the depth chart as far as
boundary safety is concerned and
218
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,800
that would definitely put him in
a situation where he really
219
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
would struggle to get on the
field.
220
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,800
This season are and, you know,
catastrophic injury situation at
221
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400
that position.
Yep, that's true.
222
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400
All right.
So the last piece of happy or
223
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,200
bad news happy.
I don't know depending on who
224
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,600
you are but yeah this was this
one's going to depend on
225
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,300
perspective.
If exactly Bode Davidson
226
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:02,800
officially today, is now
director of recruiting at Texas
227
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,500
Tech.
Apparently, getting a handsome
228
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,400
pay.
Raise also, getting to where he
229
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,300
is about three hours from
family.
230
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,900
Both of he and his wife.
Congratulations for him on that
231
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,000
for us, we don't have a director
recruiting but he had only been
232
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,400
in the position three months
when John yet see officially
233
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,400
step down.
So he kind of has guided the
234
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,100
ship the last three months.
Very good commitments.
235
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,600
You give him credit for that
because when you're the
236
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400
director, that is partially,
your job.
237
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,500
Now, the argument is now going.
We need higher in season well as
238
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,100
somebody pointed out yesterday.
Well, we're in Dead period.
239
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,900
You can't do anything anyway.
So do you really need a
240
00:14:45,908 --> 00:14:49,800
director?
I don't think we do.
241
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,600
I think you just let whoever is
on staff kind of run the ship
242
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,500
where only if you know, we're
only a few two months from
243
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:59,600
Signing Day you.
Let them got it in versus trying
244
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
to teach someone on the Fly.
What about you?
245
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,100
This one's difficult because I
think in terms of timing, I
246
00:15:07,108 --> 00:15:11,600
think if you're going to lose
your director of recruiting,
247
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,500
probably, this is one of the
better times to do it because
248
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:20,800
you're far enough along in the
22 cycle where he's not the guy
249
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
that's really working with those
relationships anymore.
250
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,500
It's more in the hands of the
coaches, the other Personnel on
251
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,800
the staff.
It's, he's not really as
252
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Hands-On on those things
anymore.
253
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,200
Second, you're not really into
the 23 cycle proper yet. the
254
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,200
only concern is getting someone
in that can kind of hit the
255
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,000
ground running to make sure that
we don't fall behind getting
256
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,100
getting those names in
establishing those relationships
257
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,800
early at our, the enough of the
cycle where we feel like we're
258
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,000
placing ourselves in a position
heading into the 2022, calendar
259
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,900
year, where we can actually, you
know, close some of those, you
260
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,200
know, once February March, and
April hit, which is when we do
261
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600
you really start seeing Those
first big round of commitments
262
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,100
come through for the next cycle.
Absolutely.
263
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:20,700
And you know what was a Texas
guy and you know he he gets a
264
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:25,800
bad rap of what happened in
Virginia and and we don't know
265
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,500
that stuff we don't know from
behind the scenes, we don't know
266
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,900
his involvement with how much
Virginia was pushed.
267
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:36,000
How much Texas was pushed?
He seems like an Enthusiast, no
268
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,600
Texas was push, heavy breathing
heavily.
269
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,900
We actually, we don't know to
what degree Virginia was given
270
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:47,000
the short change as As a result
of that true we don't, and we
271
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400
never know.
And unless you talk with him
272
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,200
and, you know, this was the kind
of a fun thing to see on Twitter
273
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,400
yesterday.
Brian people are like well, who
274
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,000
wants to be the new director of
recruiting?
275
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,900
And I saw like Vegas Robinson,
and some people call me.
276
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,599
I'll do it.
I'll do it positions like that,
277
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,500
and this is no disrespect to
anybody.
278
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:13,300
Positions like that.
You aren't just given off the
279
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:18,099
street.
Bo Davidson had essentially
280
00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:23,599
worked as a ga or in some type
of capacity role for 14 years
281
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,000
before he got that opportunity
and I know guys move up and down
282
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,800
faster and I see a lot of
people.
283
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,900
Something I can do really good
relationships here.
284
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,300
And they were, as director of
recruiting, you can't actually
285
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,700
go do the relationships there,
you can, too.
286
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,900
It's NCAA.
You can't you can be from the
287
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:42,000
no.4 have the greatest
relationship with with Highland
288
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,100
Springs with piranha with
Manchester with every school.
289
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Cool.
This is this is what you're
290
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600
doing.
You call them and there's only
291
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,500
so many times you can talk to
the kids.
292
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:56,700
Director of recruiting is
essentially putting the game
293
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,800
plan in place.
So when I see guys saying we can
294
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,300
do this in this, the guys who
are interested in doing that, my
295
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:08,100
suggestion, Rob.
And this would be, I'd love to
296
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:11,500
see these guys do that.
And one of the guys in Richmond,
297
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,600
did it Davon Morgan create
football camps Hopkins,
298
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,500
brothers.
Did it.
299
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,700
Get the kids in Camp, if you
want to push them to Virginia
300
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,500
Tech because you bring them in,
you teach them something.
301
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,700
And then potentially, you take
them to Blacksburg that would
302
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,800
like a recruiting is a whole
different story.
303
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:34,100
It's a different ball game.
And I'll say this, I would love
304
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,100
to have someone in that role.
That's either a former player or
305
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:42,700
a graduate that has the passion
for the school year.
306
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,000
I think you absolutely 100% need
that.
307
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,400
And that's one thing that both
probably did not bring to the
308
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,400
table.
Will he not, not, not the
309
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,800
greatest understanding of you
know Virginia high schools and
310
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,400
what which high schools are
important.
311
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,600
But also the passion for, you
know, everybody Blacksburg Feels
312
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Like Home to pretty much
everyone that goes there.
313
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,300
I get that.
But there's a, there's a big
314
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:08,400
difference between living that
and experiencing that after the
315
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,600
fact and having someone that is
an alumni or played for the
316
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,200
Hokies, would certainly be an
Asset.
317
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,700
That's not to say that you can
throw any former player in that
318
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,100
role and expect to Bear the
fruit.
319
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:28,100
I think that I think that's a
very gross overstatement of what
320
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:31,700
the director of recruiting does
and you know if the guys are
321
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:36,700
really interested like that now
to me there are There are two
322
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:40,200
guys actually take that three
guys, former Hokies who are on
323
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,500
the path that they wanted a
position like that.
324
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,800
Dave ons down at enh engine
after he did his camps up here.
325
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:50,400
You've got rock Carmichael's up
in.
326
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,200
Michigan coaching High School
football?
327
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,200
I think it is actually a
Preparatory Academy.
328
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:57,600
Instead he Whitley up to J mu
now home.
329
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:58,900
You think about what they're
doing?
330
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:01,000
They're not doing recruiting.
They are doing on field
331
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
coaching.
Is that the path they take.
332
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,200
We don't know if you ask my
personal opinion right now, To
333
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,700
me Pearson Prelude.
I think could get in that role
334
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,600
in absolutely dominate.
Here's a, a tool is an
335
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,100
All-American at Virginia Tech.
He knows the culture Pearson
336
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,700
praying, Lou coached and Raptor.
I think he's been on the staff
337
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,900
long enough to and Player
Development to understand the
338
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,900
state of Virginia, but I also
think he understands would
339
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,200
understand the whole footprint
of recruiting.
340
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:39,900
He played lead 10 years.
I mean, why not piercing, you
341
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,000
know what I mean?
I can't really think of a.
342
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:46,200
If you're looking for an on
staff candidate, that isn't
343
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,500
Moaning someone that's already
working on the recruiting staff.
344
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,100
Yeah, Pearson would be the
number one choice in my book.
345
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:59,500
Just because having that former
player aspect NFL pedigree
346
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,700
understanding Super Bowl ring
Super Bowl ring.
347
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:07,400
Yeah, understanding things and,
you know he under I think he
348
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,100
understands what kind of built
the Hokies huh?
349
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,200
When he was there and
understands what it's going to
350
00:21:14,208 --> 00:21:18,100
take to kind of get that type of
been Eyetality back and it
351
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:21,100
starts with winning the state.
I mean, you can say what it
352
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,100
said, what you want we
absolutely need to have a
353
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,200
footprint that's wider than what
we had in Beamers are.
354
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,400
Oh it can't, it can't just be
mostly Virginia and then a
355
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,100
handful of kids from Florida,
but you need to still put your
356
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:41,200
flag in your state and say now
you're not getting all these all
357
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,900
these top 10 State kids.
We're going to get at least to a
358
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,100
cycle, maybe three years.
Cycle.
359
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:53,000
And until we start doing that,
it's still going to be a
360
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,600
struggling, we've done better
this year but this should be
361
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,700
kind of the the low average not
the heights, you know I'm
362
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,600
saying?
Well I'll hundred percent.
363
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:08,800
This is this is what this is,
what we would expect yearly like
364
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,000
an average recruiting cycle is
kind of what we're looking this
365
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,300
year, doing the top 10 multiple
in the top 15 multiple in the
366
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,300
top for me.
This will be have urge what we'd
367
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,600
like to see is obviously mean
you would be like root of 4 in
368
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,700
the top 10 6 Plus in the top 15.
And if we're going to recruit 25
369
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:33,800
kids ate in the top 25,
essentially absolutely 30% on
370
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:41,000
the top, 25 kids.
Should be coming to Virginia
371
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Tech in Virginia so you know,
that's our feel on that.
372
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,700
Anything else to add on this
one?
373
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:49,800
Brian before we roll on I say
I'm with Tally who I just threw
374
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,800
the the common up there.
We should be right at or in the
375
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,100
top 20 every year in every five
years, we should be dropping a
376
00:22:58,108 --> 00:23:01,000
top-15 class.
If we want to get to where we
377
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
want to get, which is winning.
The ACC somewhat consistently
378
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,100
and competing for a college
football.
379
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:10,500
Playoff Mission.
Absolutely, that's what we have
380
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:15,800
to do. 100% but we've only done
one, top 15, class.
381
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,700
Ever since the rankings have
come out now, maybe you go back
382
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:23,200
and say, well, they should have
readjusted some of those because
383
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,300
they completely whiffed.
Well, we'll see about that
384
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:27,100
later.
All right.
385
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:29,600
Let's keep the well, let's get
to the Happy Times.
386
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:35,100
Happy Times nappy time y'all.
We got a commitment.
387
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:43,200
He is a composite for star.
He is a top 50 Corner in the
388
00:23:43,208 --> 00:23:45,700
country.
He's a top 300 player.
389
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,100
Cam Johnson of the st.
Frances Academy in Baltimore 6
390
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,800
foot, 165 Corner Brown.
What do you think of Cam?
391
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:58,600
I really like this a lot.
I like, getting back into
392
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,600
Maryland.
I like this guy's attributes
393
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,800
that can bring to the table.
Good size, right out the gate
394
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,900
moves.
Well turns his hips.
395
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:10,600
Well, doesn't shy away from
contact, either.
396
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,600
From the film I've seen, so all
around a really good pick up and
397
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,500
hopefully we can we can close
the deal and getting through
398
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,500
Signing Day.
Yeah definitely going to keep a
399
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:21,100
definite going to be a fight
with him.
400
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:24,600
I'm obviously I think it was us
in Maryland as the finalists but
401
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:27,000
But really good pickup.
Really good landing.
402
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:32,700
And, you know, we're still
hanging onto like, 15th 13th or
403
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:38,200
12th with 24/7, even with it.
Because when Simmons came on and
404
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
he can't come as one off, he
came on.
405
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,200
We literally stayed at the same
spot because they were very
406
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,900
quickly rank very close.
Yeah, very close.
407
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:49,600
I think 24/7 was pretty much a
Pick'em between, but cams
408
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,100
composite is a little bit
higher.
409
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:55,000
Even though, we like 24/7
better, he's a There.
410
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,300
But I think they'll get a bump.
I think right now.
411
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,300
But as we get into the season,
if you just look we're
412
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:04,300
recruiting is I don't think
we're going to follow me.
413
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,400
I don't think we're going to
fall to 30 because if you start
414
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,100
going through there's only so
many teams that are going to be
415
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,400
able to add more.
Are there going to be some
416
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400
Elites that passed us?
Yes that's going to happen.
417
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,300
Are there going to be some top
15 teams?
418
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:20,300
Currently that passes?
Yeah but I don't think it's
419
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,100
going to be enough because we
still are probably going to pick
420
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:24,500
up anywhere from three to four
more.
421
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:28,100
Or one we talked about earlier
is a pretty highly ranked guy
422
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,200
which is going to help us even
more.
423
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,700
I don't see it as follow.
Do you think we're going to be
424
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,200
in the 30s?
Or do you think we're going to
425
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,800
have a 2 next?
Our number at the end?
426
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,600
I think we're going to be kind
of where we typically are, which
427
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
is somewhere between 25 and 30.
I don't think we're going to
428
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,600
drop into the 30s in.
A lot of this is going to depend
429
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,800
on what happens in the season
and immediately following the
430
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,300
season.
So I'll put that In there.
431
00:25:55,900 --> 00:26:02,700
But if things roll through say,
we finish like eight, and four
432
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:06,200
staff is retained, you know,
whatever it is.
433
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,300
I think we finish somewhere
between 25 and 30 things go,
434
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,200
south other big changes are
made.
435
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,500
Then obviously, all bets are off
exactly.
436
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,900
Well, the whole piece I'll say,
is this, I don't think it was so
437
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:23,200
much far, south after what
happened last year, even with
438
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,000
the codes.
Now after I mean, For real.
439
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,400
Like what I mean, how much worse
can it, get glad that they're
440
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000
also, they're even with all that
turmoil.
441
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,700
There wasn't a whole lot of
movement towards the for
442
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:37,800
Designing day.
So what exactly?
443
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,600
I think I think barring an
actual change in regime.
444
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,100
Your we were probably looking at
not not too much of a drop-off,
445
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,700
very true, very true.
Alright so next what we're going
446
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:50,900
to look at here, I put my beer
down and make the announcement
447
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:54,400
for I have a set of the Hockey
Hall of Fame was announced lots
448
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,100
of I played we're going to focus
on the three hokey football
449
00:26:58,100 --> 00:26:59,800
players.
Let's start.
450
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,300
Brian with Tyrone.
Drake Ford, someone essentially
451
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:06,700
from our use, someone actually
connections to our hometown.
452
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,500
I know she's probably not
listening but I'll still shout
453
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:11,300
out.
Maybe somebody else, say heard
454
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,700
you on Facebook, the other
night, Brenda best cousin,
455
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:19,400
Tyrone Drake, furred Corner.
Played a tech in the 90s.
456
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,900
A hell of a football player was
drafted by the Niners, won a
457
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:29,400
ring with the Niners played up
to 2001 one of those original.
458
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,700
One of the original guys, that
started the DB you man.
459
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,000
Yeah, I mean, this is a big one
for you because I'd say really
460
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,500
all three of these guys that
we're going to talk about our
461
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:43,300
kind of big for us in general.
But this one for you with with
462
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:47,400
the 49ers tie in there one.
But yeah, I mean Tyrone Jennifer
463
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,400
was kind of the the 0 g of D bu
here and nothing.
464
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,700
But good things to say about it.
Time in Blacksburg.
465
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,900
And it was one of those guys, as
you mentioned, when we were,
466
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:02,900
first, first turning on the
television by choice to follow
467
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:06,800
the Hokies, that was the name we
heard.
468
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,800
And that we love seeing making
plays so exactly.
469
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,600
We were younger were probably
nine, ten.
470
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,000
We were starting to get our
cognitive stuff together.
471
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,600
And essentially, he was, you
say, what you want to say?
472
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,600
He got drafted in 94.
So he was a literally part of
473
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,500
the team that saved Beamers
career.
474
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,400
If guys like Drake for it,
aren't there guys, like,
475
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,500
Maurice, deshazo aren't there in
93?
476
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,500
We who knows what happens to the
program.
477
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:39,600
Now buddy?
The next two guys, this was our
478
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Heyday.
This was a hey dark man.
479
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,900
My heart with the X-Men Xavier
adibi.
480
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400
From down a phoebius down in
Hampton.
481
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,800
I mean my favorite defensive
player from that era other than
482
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Darryl Tapp.
So it's I mean, it's and then
483
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
you can have the argument is
he's the greatest backer of all
484
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,800
times.
People can fight, you can fight
485
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:16,100
with him and Tremaine, you know,
but you know it goes back in.
486
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,200
This is again guys.
You know, you played in the
487
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,500
league for years.
He was all ACC was All-American
488
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:25,400
in 07 and he was just one of
those guys.
489
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,600
You were hauling a DB and you
know it goes back again.
490
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,500
It was during our Heyday, he was
a freak dip.
491
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:41,500
A frequent linebacker for his
time and I'm trying to think of
492
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,200
what play.
Was it brown was it that energy
493
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,900
was one of the interceptions
we've talked about on here
494
00:29:45,908 --> 00:29:51,100
before.
I know I'm drawing a blanket as
495
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,200
well.
I wish you would, but how many
496
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,500
plays he made?
So awesome.
497
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:58,800
This guy getting home?
Yep.
498
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:06,500
You know, and obviously he was
again, one of the what's Brother
499
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:10,200
set of Brothers.
Yep, man, you played before he
500
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,600
follow the ante up.
It's so it's it keeps going on.
501
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,200
Yeah, I mean so when when I
think Hall in the DB I mean that
502
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,200
was that was like one of my
favorite areas for this defense
503
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,700
because Hall was solid always
there.
504
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:29,800
And then a DV was like he was
just the playmaker, he was all
505
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,600
over the field, he was getting
interceptions, he was breaking
506
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,900
up passes, he was completely
knocking the shit out of guy.
507
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:39,400
As if they were trying to get
outside of the edge.
508
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,900
I mean, just watching those two
was awesome and a DV was
509
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:47,300
definitely one of my favorites
of those those 2000s teams that
510
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:50,200
were just so good.
Absolutely.
511
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,400
And I mean, they were part of
literally the defenses that were
512
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,700
number one in the nation that
were holding those two light
513
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:02,000
eight points that we used to
screen if we can have a decent
514
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,400
bleep and offense, we will win
Idol.
515
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,500
Just just too.
Just so you know how nasty is?
516
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:15,900
That was 266, tackles 25 tackles
for loss nine, nine sacks.
517
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:20,500
He had eight picks as a middle
linebacker and really three
518
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:23,900
years playing full-time.
That's nuts.
519
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:26,600
Oh, all right.
So finally folks we're going to
520
00:31:26,608 --> 00:31:34,200
hit my local here to the r-va
Victor, too Macho Harris out of
521
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Highland Springs va mean.
One of them, was it the first
522
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,100
five-star landed first five-star
landed right?
523
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,900
Was Mikey, I think.
In, man, he was a lockdown
524
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:56,100
Corner in every sense of the
word, multiple Ace, multiple,
525
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:02,000
all-acc, feel like, I don't want
to say, he was an All-American
526
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
to.
It's not telling me that here,
527
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,400
but also, you know, a little
little background here coach.
528
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:15,600
Well, Hometown friend of ours,
Charlie Crittenden.
529
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,600
He actually coached me my
sophomore year.
530
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:23,000
Year of high school offensive
line making grad.
531
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,100
So I won't hold that against him
but he he was coaching Macho
532
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,000
when he was in high school at
the Highland Spring.
533
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,400
So I remember hearing about
this, this Macho Harris guy
534
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,500
before, some other folks are
ready for it.
535
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:46,300
But Just the number one.
Like there's there's so much
536
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:50,600
Swagger that Macho brought to
the to the to the to the feel,
537
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,800
their got the offensive
defensive and special teams
538
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,000
touchdown.
I mean that that's still like
539
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
that's something that that just
doesn't happen every day.
540
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,400
I mean, nothing but good things
that could be said about macho
541
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,000
man.
Yeah, two guys.
542
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,800
Did it Macho Andy Hall.
Yep.
543
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
That's it.
And they any was Special special
544
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:17,300
athlete.
And, you know, it's great to see
545
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:18,800
these guys.
I don't know when they'll be
546
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,700
inducted.
I probably find it on the
547
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:24,100
schedule.
Depending on that game is we
548
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:27,600
don't have to Circle that one.
Brian to go up to visit.
549
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,400
Yeah, that'd be a good one.
I might be a good one.
550
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,400
All right, so next thing we're
going to look at here, folks,
551
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,800
and we're rolling right along as
fast as we can.
552
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
He is.
We are going to look at the ACC
553
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:46,100
Corona policies this year.
Last year was really they go 07
554
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:50,600
Macho at Clemson very devil.
All right so here are the kind
555
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
of the three guidelines.
Most match, the other
556
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,100
conferences of the third one's a
little different.
557
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:58,700
First one is if a game cannot be
played on its original.
558
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,900
Scheduled date due to a team
have an instant of an
559
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:06,800
insufficient number of people
due to the covid-19 virus that
560
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,300
team will forfeit.
The game in the wind will be
561
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,000
assigned to the other team.
Everybody's doing it makes
562
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,300
sense, right?
Yep.
563
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:16,199
Makes sense.
Yep.
564
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,000
Second one, if the ACC game
cannot be played on the date for
565
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,400
any Factor.
Other than that in there are
566
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,100
game discontinuation
circumstances.
567
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,300
I'm a little Tsum.
That would be like, hurricanes
568
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:34,600
coming through, you know, other
factors potentially medical
569
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,400
factors, something like that.
Those games essentially, Looking
570
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,500
at a potential reschedule.
So basically, anything freak
571
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,800
over the could get cancelled and
rescheduled, it would be
572
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,900
cancelled and rescheduled.
Yep, the third one is the most
573
00:34:50,900 --> 00:34:53,699
interesting one.
No other conference has this.
574
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:59,600
I'm going to read this verbatim.
If a 2021 ACC game, cannot be
575
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,400
played on its original scheduled
a due to both team being able to
576
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:07,100
play due to an insufficient.
Number of players related to the
577
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:11,200
covid-19 virus.
Both teams, shall be have demon.
578
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,800
Forfeited, the Forfeited the
game.
579
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,800
And a loss will be assigned to
both teams and apply to the
580
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,000
conference standings double L's
12w hell's.
581
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000
So that's exactly what you want
to hear double else.
582
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:26,700
I mean I'm sure they're going to
be
583
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:46,300
Nobody's getting anything.
It essentially applies, the
584
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:51,000
pressure across the board.
It's not just, you know, it's
585
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,700
not just a game of chicken.
Like if you both can't play,
586
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,600
Then you both get the L.
Love it, love it.
587
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:03,100
So, there are the policies based
on kind of what you're seeing
588
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:06,600
from throughout college
football, all the players are
589
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,600
over, 95 percent threshold.
Most teams Virginia Tech hasn't
590
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,700
confirmed, but I don't, Think
they'll ever be able to confirm?
591
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:18,400
100% mode themes, are probably
between 97 and 99.
592
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,800
It might be a few guys here and
there medical reasons, and or
593
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:26,900
religious purposes.
Not, you know, vaccinated in
594
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600
your fine.
Exactly.
595
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Jay bernzy for shout-out SS
cause more Coastal chaos.
596
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,100
So there's gonna be like three
of them, right?
597
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
Yep.
So that's what the coastal does.
598
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,300
All right, Brian.
I mean I mean this the coastal's
599
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,700
already, I mean, it's already
going to be interesting because
600
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:48,800
you feel like you got a tier one
and then you got a tear to, but
601
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,500
there's not a huge gap.
I don't think a little bit
602
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,400
margin for error.
Can can really throw things into
603
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,000
a tailspin there and put
probably four or five teams in
604
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,100
play for the coastal going into
the later part of November
605
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,100
there.
Exactly.
606
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:07,800
All right.
So we're going to hit our first
607
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,800
big topic of the night.
The Yesterday from the ACC, the
608
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,300
Big Ten in the Pac-12 about
their Alliance Brian.
609
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:17,600
Before we get into some
individual points, me and you
610
00:37:17,607 --> 00:37:22,200
have kind of, pulled out.
What was your overall field on a
611
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,200
jeweler?
All feel?
612
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:27,500
Well, the first time I heard
about it, I could all I could
613
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:30,500
think about was Dwight asking
Jim if you wanted to form an
614
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:36,600
alliance and to, which either
the response is absolutely, I
615
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,800
do.
Yeah, my first thought was, I
616
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,200
think this I wouldn't consider
this as a power move.
617
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400
This isn't a power move, but
this is a, this is a move about
618
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,700
viability and survival in what
looks to be a very uncertain.
619
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:59,600
Next, several years in terms of
realignment and things of that
620
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,400
nature.
So I don't think a partnership
621
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,100
can hurt.
I just, we'll get into it, but
622
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:10,000
I'm not sure exactly how much
it's helping other than
623
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:13,100
potentially looking at the
scheduling aspect of it.
624
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,100
Yeah.
We're going to we're going to go
625
00:38:17,107 --> 00:38:19,000
into couple times.
I think it's a leverage play
626
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,600
because I think.
Now, if you've got three
627
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,800
Commissioners on board Any sort
of NCAA rulings any sort of
628
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,100
college football playoff,
they're going to have leverage,
629
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,900
right?
They've got more institutions,
630
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:34,700
and they've got more power
because we have three
631
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:38,200
conferences, and it's
essentially at the SEC is like
632
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,200
cool.
You've got the two big boys, but
633
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,400
you're still one conference.
So you don't hold all the cards
634
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,000
versus if if they had kept Texas
and Oklahoma in the Big 12 and
635
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,900
just said, hey we're forming a
partnership.
636
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:53,200
We're going to play is
everybody's going to play at
637
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,200
least one cross.
Conference game every year.
638
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,800
Drop it at that.
All right, let's jump into the
639
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,100
first thing Ron.
The first thing I kind of caught
640
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:05,600
my ear listening this yesterday
is they said, 41 schools.
641
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:09,300
Let's do math Brian.
There's 14 ACC schools.
642
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:13,100
Yep, there's 14.
Big Ten schools.
643
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,700
Yep.
There's 12 pack 12 schools, that
644
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:20,200
equals 40.
So what does that tell you who
645
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,900
is the plus one?
Well that plus 1 is going to be
646
00:39:23,900 --> 00:39:25,900
more than likely Notre.
Dame.
647
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,300
So mainly and I say that because
this Alliance was talking about
648
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,100
football and Hoops Partnerships.
So by default they were they
649
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,800
might have been thrown in there
so it'll be interesting to see
650
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,600
what that really means for
football.
651
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:44,900
But the fact that it's 41
definitely means that Notre Dame
652
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,700
is in play there.
Yeah you got swarbrick on the
653
00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:50,700
cfp model.
Also, the other thing I'm going
654
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:53,400
to say is this, I don't know how
long the contract is and if
655
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,700
somebody out there wants to look
it up and put it in a message to
656
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,700
us, do it, Notre Dame is
contracted to play five, ACC
657
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:05,600
games a year.
Five, if you start looking at
658
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,600
their other primary rival
throughout time, Navy's warm you
659
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:15,900
up at 6:00 Purdue Michigan
State.
660
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,200
Northwestern Michigan have been
their primary Rivals.
661
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,900
The Michigan series is weird,
but you're doing Michigan State.
662
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:29,000
Were there every year that gets
you up to about nine or ten
663
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,200
every year?
Give or take and then West Coast
664
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,600
wise, they always played USC and
Stanford.
665
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,800
Yep.
If for no other reason, they're
666
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,700
getting into.
This is will keep our five ACC
667
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:42,000
games.
We can get back on track with
668
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
the big 10 games and we've got
our West Coast game.
669
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:47,300
Eames we assume we think that
the only thing they would for
670
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,700
they would balk at, you know,
looking at is, all right.
671
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:57,200
So we're playing schedule-wise
they would probably be on the
672
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,500
upper end of the Spectrum in
terms of strength of schedule.
673
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:03,000
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
674
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:04,400
Every year.
Yeah.
675
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,700
Now granted if they stay
independent while adopting this
676
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,700
model, they probably will need
that strength of schedule to
677
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,700
make their case for a playoff
position every year.
678
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:19,400
But again, being involved with
it.
679
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,300
It's going to be a lot easier to
just go in there and say, we're
680
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:24,900
going to play five in the ACC,
we're going to play a few in the
681
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,400
Big Ten, we're going to find the
few and the Pac-12.
682
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Essentially, let us be your one
of your games every year and
683
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,100
hate to say this not hate to say
this no team is going to turn
684
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:39,400
down a series or a game with
Notre Dame.
685
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,900
It is too much money, it's
either you're getting National
686
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:52,500
exposure on NBC or if, if You
are getting them at home.
687
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,100
A your home stadium is going to
sell out.
688
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,500
The secondary ticket prices are
going to be insane.
689
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,900
The hotel room rates are going
to go insane.
690
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:04,600
You're going to make a lot of
money that weekend, but also
691
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,400
your normally, and again, I say
normally because this year, they
692
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,200
bleeped it all up.
Although it seems like there's
693
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,000
about to be a deal between
Comcast and ESPN to get the ACC
694
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,700
Network on your Glimpse.
Hope we did get the, we did get
695
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:21,000
the oh, we made a mistake line
with all the other the other
696
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,200
night we made a mistake.
We actually put a cc Rooming on
697
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,000
the SEC secondary Channel.
Yes, that was a test to make
698
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,300
sure they could get it done, but
you're going to get a prime-time
699
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,300
game with them and every team
wants that exposure.
700
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,900
Alright Braun.
You mentioned it football and
701
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:46,100
Hoops Partnerships.
We think.
702
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,800
I mean, they're definitely
targeting the sports that are
703
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,100
bringing in the money so that I
mean that that's.
704
00:42:56,100 --> 00:43:00,800
Probably what this is all about
because more or less any sort of
705
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,500
realignment in any sort of major
votes are going to hinge on
706
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:08,900
those two sports.
Great, very true, very true.
707
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:13,000
So that that's why it's
strategically position for those
708
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,400
who supports that that's the
ones bringing in money.
709
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:20,100
That's the ones where these
decisions matter in terms of
710
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,100
dollars at the end of the day,
right?
711
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,100
Oh yeah, dollars by the end of
the day.
712
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:33,400
Now they mentioned a few other
sports as well, you know, Pac-12
713
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600
and Big Ten Women's Volleyball
is its exception.
714
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,300
I've watched a couple big ten
games before but then you kind
715
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:44,700
of think about think about a
Virginia Tech, secondary sport,
716
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:46,200
that's not football or
basketball.
717
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,800
Think about wrestling in
potentially getting meets with
718
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Big Ten, where you've got Iowa
in State Minnesota, some really
719
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:01,000
essentially, like Virginia
Tech's the top 10 program,
720
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,800
you've got multiple top five
programs there.
721
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:10,300
Yeah, and then, I think West
Coast, What's the second?
722
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,200
What's it?
What's the next big?
723
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,100
Secondary sport in the ACC
behind football and baseball?
724
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:17,900
No disrespect to wrestling is
baseball.
725
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:21,300
Yep.
In the Pac-12 has always had
726
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:22,300
them.
Good baseball.
727
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,700
Absolutely absolutely.
Now, as we look at it, the way
728
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:32,300
they are and this is where you
sign to get the.
729
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:36,500
Well, this is just a bunch of
punk bullcrap, you know, the
730
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:38,300
schedule.
A this is where the fluff
731
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:40,100
begins.
Let me do this.
732
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:43,300
Let's turn it backwards.
The schedule lines will begin as
733
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:48,500
soon as practical while current
obligations are being upheld.
734
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:51,300
Okay.
That's basically saying it's TV
735
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:58,700
contracts and it's probably
really It's more probably the
736
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:02,400
Pac-12 when they get that
opportunity it's going to be
737
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,700
what 2023 is when there's ends.
That's when the that's when
738
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:10,100
you're going to see it.
Start leveraging when you know,
739
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:12,800
they say, hey how about this
year?
740
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,700
How about USC?
Give me a good Big Ten team, run
741
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:22,600
USC plays.
State by the state in a
742
00:45:22,607 --> 00:45:26,700
horseshoe for in the Coliseum.
All right Washington really good
743
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,900
up in the upper Northwest hey we
want to play FSU.
744
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,900
That's when you're going to
start seeing them, leverage to
745
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:40,200
say, we are getting in place.
Name brand teams to bring on to
746
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:44,200
Fox Sports that we're not seeing
because of their current
747
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,800
contract with ESPN.
I'll tell you what's funny
748
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,300
though and I know in this is
just unfortunate timing because
749
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:52,500
I'm sure these discussions have
been in works way before the
750
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:53,700
alliance.
Yeah.
751
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,100
But today USC announce that at
Lear at LSU their schedule we're
752
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:03,100
going to 2024.
Yeah that's so again it's
753
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:05,600
absolutely those discussions
have been going on way before
754
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,500
the alliance stuff started.
It, the timing could not have
755
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:12,900
been a worse for saying, hey,
we've got a handshake agreement
756
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,600
here that, you know, we're in
this together.
757
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,700
And then the next thing, you
know, you get a scheduled
758
00:46:18,700 --> 00:46:22,500
opponent with an SEC team.
So let's just say, when all this
759
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:26,900
comes from Russian in 2024, that
USC will be asking to play
760
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:29,600
either Wake Forest for what
thirsty.
761
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:33,100
No.
No, we good.
762
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,600
We won't.
We won't want to them.
763
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,900
We don't need your fucking
fucked.
764
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:41,400
Our PR, exactly giving you the
donut the exact, let me ask this
765
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,700
Bond.
So big 10 PAC, 12 said they were
766
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:46,900
very you know open to the idea
of a playoff expansion.
767
00:46:47,300 --> 00:46:51,000
Jim Phillips new ACC
commissioner said well you know
768
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,300
we're really landed on the final
decision yet.
769
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:56,600
You think that's him being
legitimate or do you think
770
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,500
that's more leverage play to say
if one of us isn't happy?
771
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:04,700
We're going to all reconsider I
think he's hedging.
772
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,700
I mean I think at this point
being non-committal gives him
773
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:13,800
the opportunity to kind of go
where the wind is taking the
774
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,400
situation.
Yeah I don't necessarily think
775
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,100
that's A bad decision, but at
the same time, I would have
776
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:24,000
wanted.
I would have wanted more
777
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600
definitive Direction.
I'd rather I'd like the ACC to
778
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,900
take a little bit more of a
leadership role in this thing
779
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:36,700
and I feel like hunting on that
kind of takes away some of their
780
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,300
their power later on to to be a
strong player in whatever the
781
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:42,500
final decision is, what do you
think?
782
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:47,300
It's because right now they're
saying what the top six A
783
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,000
Champions.
Yeah, that was the Assumption
784
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,300
there was going to be a power 5,
you think that's maybe that's
785
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:56,200
the reason they're holding to
say if the Big 12 can get their
786
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,700
bleep together and get some
other current.
787
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,900
I think the concern is that if
you only have four major
788
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:08,200
conferences, you don't do 60
that that that that's going to
789
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,700
open up more opportunities for
sec to take more of those at
790
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:18,500
large spaces in the playoff.
Which Removes some of the power
791
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:23,200
that the Big Ten, the ACC in the
Pac-12 have in terms of getting
792
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,600
revenue from the college
football playoff, I'll tell you
793
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,100
what's going to happen.
Michael Yost is going to stumble
794
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:32,400
onto his conviction of a, be
incorrect because the acc's and
795
00:48:32,408 --> 00:48:34,100
you're like for Conference
champions.
796
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:39,500
And for our, you're still going
to end up with three of those
797
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:43,800
eight being SEC every year.
I don't know because I think at
798
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,900
that point I think there's going
to be a lot of different
799
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,300
criteria and that's what we
hope.
800
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:53,400
So, I hope that there's not just
I mean we're still early in
801
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,800
this, I know I put my my flag in
the ground for 12 but I put my
802
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,500
flag in the ground for 12
before.
803
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,800
There was any talk of Texas and
Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for
804
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,200
the SEC and other realignment
things.
805
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,600
And this definitely makes me
want to re-evaluate that a
806
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,300
little bit.
I still think 12 overall is good
807
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:16,500
for the overall health of
college football, but with fewer
808
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:20,300
power 5, Potentially fewer power
five conferences.
809
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:25,200
It definitely kind of changes
that outset because you are
810
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,700
going to have more power 5 at
largest by default.
811
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,600
Absolutely.
Alright, next piece with the no
812
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,100
contract piece when they said
that, what did you think?
813
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:42,400
I'll be out.
I Love handshake agreements as
814
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,400
much as the next person but I
guess getting it in writing.
815
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,200
Is it possible?
At this time?
816
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,800
Just because there's a lot of
moving pieces, and it's better
817
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,900
to Better to have something
verbal, until we know a little
818
00:49:56,900 --> 00:50:01,000
bit more than we know right now.
Our.
819
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:04,600
That's just my take.
Did you read hokey Andrews?
820
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:06,400
Tweet.
I did.
821
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,400
And that that was a good point
as well because he was talking
822
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,600
about Market collusion and
price-fixing.
823
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:17,800
If you've got any Apple
conferences, essentially ganging
824
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,700
up on another conference in
terms of wedging them out from a
825
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:25,300
financial perspective or nice,
making a power play against them
826
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:28,300
from a financial perspective.
And I think that's probably the
827
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:30,300
reason why again you got three
guys.
828
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,100
Who are attorneys that are doing
this.
829
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:36,700
And I'm sure their first thought
was, well, hey, we can do an
830
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:39,500
agreement contract or somebody
probably said, yeah.
831
00:50:39,500 --> 00:50:42,400
And if the SEC filed an
antitrust lawsuit against his
832
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,300
guess, what they're going to
win?
833
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,700
So they're going to break this
up before it even started or
834
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:49,800
it's not going to be
economically feasible for us to
835
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,500
try to win it and we'll use
figure out exactly what will
836
00:50:53,508 --> 00:50:54,800
essentially be back where we
are.
837
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,100
Anyway, exactly.
So I think that was maybe I
838
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,200
think it's more, it doesn't look
good.
839
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:03,000
I think if you start thinking
about it, it's like that makes
840
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,000
sense right now is they're on
the same page.
841
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000
It's more of the voting thing.
Like, you know, how many times
842
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,400
do you have things you vote on
whether it be social, you know,
843
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,800
you know, social organizations
or other things?
844
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,000
That's go back to thinking SGA
and stuff like that, or even
845
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,700
maybe neighborhood Council where
it's, like, you're voting this
846
00:51:26,700 --> 00:51:29,000
way, right?
We're all going to vote this way
847
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,200
because we don't want that to
happen.
848
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:31,900
Happen.
And they're going to try to make
849
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:34,000
that happen.
It would it all six of us vote
850
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,200
against it.
They can't.
851
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:39,300
And if it's a handshake
agreement, they can't sue you
852
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:40,800
for anything.
All right?
853
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,000
Yeah.
It's the old, I mean, it's the
854
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,400
old backdoor Arrangement like
you, you know, it's not, it's
855
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,700
not anything formal but it's so
it's on the, it's so close to
856
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:55,700
being formal that by de facto.
It is the same outcomes come
857
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:59,800
into place, and hopefully
they'll able to keep that
858
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,000
together.
And like I said, I would, I
859
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,000
would want the ACC to take a
little bit more of a leadership
860
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,400
role on this.
Especially in terms of what the
861
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,400
playoff is going to look like.
Because I feel like that's going
862
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,500
to be the biggest piece of the
financial puzzle long-term
863
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,600
become.
So hopefully hopefully there's a
864
00:52:19,607 --> 00:52:21,000
little bit more information
about that.
865
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:24,100
Yeah.
And again the playoff piece also
866
00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:27,500
two of these network, two of
these conferences have their
867
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:34,700
primary ganger on Fox Fox is not
in it right now.
868
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:38,400
So you know what?
I think any coffee of expansion
869
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,400
while in the next few years is
not.
870
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:41,700
They're going to vote it down,
right?
871
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,400
No.
Because I think what they want
872
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,300
to do is, let it get out there
and get fitted by.
873
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:48,600
I think boxes telling the Pac-12
on that.
874
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:52,100
It's probably right, just vote.
No just vote.
875
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:55,300
No, because when he gets here
we're going to go after it hard.
876
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,800
And maybe hopefully what we can
get is more of a split playoff
877
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,200
where we see multiple TV
entities handle it versus just
878
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,200
ESPN.
And all right, so we kind of
879
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,300
mentioned it already.
The Big 12, they all mentioned
880
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:16,800
the importance of keeping that
conference alive to your point,
881
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,300
Braun Playoff right?
If you can have them be viable,
882
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,300
you have a fifth playoff team.
Yeah.
883
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:28,200
And they're going to, they're
gonna have to do some work to
884
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:33,900
remain viable.
They cannot hold Pat and and
885
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:37,600
hope for survival.
You've lost your two, biggest
886
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,900
Revenue dogs in your conference,
true.
887
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:46,100
And that's it.
We're going to be and it's going
888
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:53,000
to be interesting weather.
Whether Texas and Oklahoma
889
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:59,000
decide to pay the buyout to
start this thing early, whether
890
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,500
they decide to ride it out and
hope that the Big 12 olds, so,
891
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,600
they can depart early without
having to pay the buyout.
892
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,500
Or if the Big 12 is able to make
some moves with some of these
893
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:19,000
other G5 conferences,
potentially or maybe even power
894
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
five conference has to get Get a
team or two to come over to
895
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,500
their side of the, the field
there because they're going to
896
00:54:26,508 --> 00:54:29,500
need something to remain viable.
They keep that.
897
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:32,100
I definitely don't think they
can just hold their status quo
898
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:35,700
right now for the next three to
five years and hope to remain
899
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:38,600
viable.
Now, the can't hold status quo
900
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:44,700
but if Texas are Oklahomans used
to pay that buyout, it still
901
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:49,000
will take a couple of years of
the SEC money to recoup it.
902
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,700
Sure, but long game, they can
afford it, it's just the
903
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:55,100
question.
Do they want to take their
904
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:58,300
short-term loss?
Especially coming off of covid?
905
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:02,800
In order to achieve that will?
Also, let's just say it.
906
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,400
You're also going into, I'm not
going to hesitate on.
907
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,900
You're going into the strongest
conference.
908
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,500
What if you go in there and
become a 6?
909
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:14,800
And 16, your Brand's done your
brand and your brand suffers,
910
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,800
but Texas has still been the
number one athletic department.
911
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,800
In terms of Revenue, while being
a fucking middling ass program
912
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,900
for the last decade middling
ass.
913
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:28,400
Did you think you're going to
hear that?
914
00:55:29,900 --> 00:55:31,600
All right.
Well you know what, this is
915
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,800
probably I think what this is my
opinion, how the big 12 can
916
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:37,700
somehow make it.
They are going to be looked at
917
00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:45,500
as the ugly stepsister of the
group but you go you look at
918
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:47,700
Central Florida.
You look at Cincinnati.
919
00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:50,600
Look at Memphis.
Look at BYU and you look at
920
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,900
Boise and you just invite them
and just say whatever happens is
921
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:58,100
what happens and we're going to
figure it out from here because
922
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:02,300
at least you have with those
five schools they have brains,
923
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:06,800
they are known as they are known
to average college football
924
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,900
fans.
BYU know, we know has a very
925
00:56:10,900 --> 00:56:13,300
passionate base.
As there's Boise, the other ones
926
00:56:13,300 --> 00:56:16,300
are building.
You just, you just almost a
927
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:18,600
screw it.
This is literally a Hail Mary.
928
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:22,300
Even if we don't score the
touchdown and everything
929
00:56:22,300 --> 00:56:26,300
happens, perfect, we're going to
probably get pass interference.
930
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:29,500
You're going to have the ball
down at the one where we're not
931
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:32,500
going to be what we were, but
we're not going to become a
932
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:36,600
swak.
That for all y'all, Young Folks,
933
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,900
go review swaggin.
What the fuck happened?
934
00:56:38,900 --> 00:56:42,700
30 years ago.
Yep, history lesson it's
935
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:46,000
happened before.
So when we look at the big 12
936
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,800
rbr, they essentially right now
kind of what the Big East was
937
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:56,000
after in the early 2000s after
the departure of Virginia Tech
938
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:58,500
and Miami.
That's exactly what they were
939
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,700
and they chose to stand Pat.
Right?
940
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,600
They didn't try to add teams.
They didn't try to build up.
941
00:57:06,700 --> 00:57:11,100
We can make it like this and
they freaking fell because the
942
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:15,100
teams that had viable decent
football program or viable
943
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:19,700
markets just piece like nope
because this is not going to
944
00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:24,300
work.
And in this case, that's why I
945
00:57:24,308 --> 00:57:26,600
think you do that.
That's why you think you just
946
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,500
throw it to the wall and just
say this is what we're going to
947
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,500
do and have a dollars and cents
perspective.
948
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,600
This is definitely a bigger blow
to the Big 12 than what that was
949
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:41,400
to the Big East much bigger much
bigger because I think it's the
950
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,900
time frame of where we are.
In the early 2000s the contracts
951
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:47,100
went.
They weren't what they were.
952
00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:49,700
Yep.
All right let's hit the last
953
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:53,600
couple topics here.
They basically said we're not
954
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,100
going to handcuff any other out
of conference game so they
955
00:57:56,100 --> 00:57:58,700
basically are keeping all your
rivalries alive.
956
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,000
You know, Georgia, Georgia Tech,
South Carolina.
957
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,900
That's not Shocking because I
don't think they're trying to
958
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:06,900
play bully ball.
I just think they're trying to
959
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:09,700
hold leverage and say you're not
going to run the show.
960
00:58:10,300 --> 00:58:12,000
They're trying to hold leverage
and then they're trying to
961
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,100
create some unique matchups
within this to gain that
962
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:18,600
leverage when it comes to
college football playoff stuff.
963
00:58:18,900 --> 00:58:21,800
Yeah.
So we'll still have those maybe
964
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,300
even create some new ones.
Now the last piece we're going
965
00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:29,600
to hit here and this was near
the end of it was Pat Club big
966
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,600
tender at nine games acc's a
date.
967
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,400
The way that conversation was
flowing by, I don't know if you
968
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:41,300
were watching it live.
I truly think and this is why I
969
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:44,900
think you're going to have
multiple crossovers year between
970
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:48,400
these two conquer.
These three conferences is
971
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,700
they're going to have a
conference games.
972
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:56,300
We're not going to go up.
We're going to go down because
973
00:58:56,300 --> 00:58:59,100
what we're going to do, we're
going to, we're going to keep
974
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:03,500
going to squeeze the conferences
in so we can get these two
975
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:07,600
games, probably one more P5 game
and then likely a G5 game.
976
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,400
Yep.
And I think that's a good move
977
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,700
because it gives you the
opportunity to work those
978
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:15,600
schedules.
Like we were talking about, get
979
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,200
the interesting crossover
matchups.
980
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,400
Get some intriguing college
football playoff ramifications.
981
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,200
Games with non-traditional
opponents.
982
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:27,200
So I think that's going to be
good across the board.
983
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,100
And then in terms of the
conference 8, gains more or less
984
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:35,200
is enough, especially with
conferences as large as 14.
985
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,300
Yeah, a vs9, does it really
change a whole lot?
986
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,300
Not a lot.
What it helps you do though, is
987
00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:47,000
it's going to give you more
markets and people are asking
988
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,200
why do you do this?
If you go out west and you get
989
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:54,100
four more larger TV, Markets.
Again, you're expanding your
990
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,300
Aces and some people say well
that's stupid.
991
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,700
Why would Virginia Tech want to
try to expand into California?
992
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:03,600
Because there's a lot of
football players in California.
993
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,800
It makes sense to the West Coast
teams.
994
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,400
Let's get on the East Coast for
the East Coast.
995
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,700
Let's get on the West Coast.
Simply that's the revenue in
996
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:16,200
general from the TV money.
I mean they're more eyes on it
997
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,500
on the screen drives that money
up, man.
998
01:00:19,500 --> 01:00:21,100
That's that's what it's all
about.
999
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,300
Dance.
Like more games, they get more
1000
01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:25,600
eyes on them.
Then that's a good thing.
1001
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:30,300
There's nothing more intriguing
than competitive teams.
1002
01:00:30,300 --> 01:00:32,800
Playing non-traditional
opponents in games that fucking
1003
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,700
matter.
Bingo buddy.
1004
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:38,100
All right guys.
So before we get further into
1005
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:42,100
the main topic tonight of us,
predicting the hole, Season
1006
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:44,100
record.
We are going to take a quick
1007
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:46,500
pause for a message from our
digital partner.
1008
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,200
All right, buddy, we are back
here after our brief break there
1009
01:00:51,900 --> 01:00:55,100
and we're going to get right
into the main topic.
1010
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:57,900
So we're talking about our
prediction for the Hokies season
1011
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:02,700
in 2021.
And before we really get into
1012
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:07,900
what we think on the gains that
are that matter, we're going to
1013
01:01:07,900 --> 01:01:14,300
go ahead and put six games in
the W column, right?
1014
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:17,600
Out the gate.
We feel like on paper, The Hokey
1015
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,700
should win these games.
Barring catastrophic injuries.
1016
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:25,600
That happened during the season,
so that is Middle Tennessee,
1017
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,600
State.
University of Richmond,
1018
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,600
Syracuse.
Georgia, Tech Duke and UVA.
1019
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:37,000
Based on what we think about
this team.
1020
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,100
We feel like Virginia Tech
should handle their business
1021
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:45,500
against these teams.
Yes, we came to a consensus last
1022
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:50,700
week after talking with Brett
getting deeper into pick six,
1023
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:54,600
previews article reading, some
other Publications, kind of
1024
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,600
talking seeing in general.
We should win all six of these
1025
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:03,100
games. if we lose one or
potentially multiple of these
1026
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:08,800
games, heads should roll, In
certain people should not be in
1027
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,900
positions.
Come roughly, December 8th.
1028
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,800
Thing is the timeframe this
year.
1029
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,600
On paper, we match up
significantly.
1030
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,200
With all these teams, these
teams are all struggling.
1031
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:22,600
I know everybody keeps telling
me, Middle, Tennessee, State,
1032
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,100
and Florida State players.
There's a reason Florida State
1033
01:02:25,100 --> 01:02:28,300
players left Florida.
State in, did not land at any
1034
01:02:28,300 --> 01:02:29,900
other school, but Middle
Tennessee.
1035
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,700
I'm sorry.
You can say they're athletic,
1036
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:35,500
they're great.
If they were that great, they
1037
01:02:35,500 --> 01:02:36,800
would have found their way onto
a piece.
1038
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,400
Boxing.
Do you agree with that run?
1039
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:44,500
That's a fair assessment.
I mean I think they could still
1040
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:48,100
be what I would consider
starting caliber players on
1041
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:50,900
power 5 schools.
I don't think their game
1042
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:54,700
changers and I think that's the
difference there, you know,
1043
01:02:54,700 --> 01:02:58,400
we're not talking about someone
that's going to go out there,
1044
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:03,400
and if they were on a power 5
team, they'd be a potential
1045
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,400
all-conference player.
These are guys that if they were
1046
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,600
on a power five Squad, that
probably maybe start, maybe a
1047
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,200
rotational player.
They're trying to go and be a
1048
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,100
star for a Middle, Tennessee
State.
1049
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:20,200
So that's my assessment.
I think you're pretty much spot
1050
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:25,500
on there.
And, you know, we've got several
1051
01:03:25,500 --> 01:03:29,000
other conference teams there
that are just, you know, we
1052
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,900
talked about it last week,
Syracuse is flailing, Duke is
1053
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:38,300
awful.
Georgia Tech is unpredictable
1054
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:43,200
and UVA, doesn't have a
secondary, and I'm not sure if
1055
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,300
they've got enough defense
elsewhere to compensate for it.
1056
01:03:46,700 --> 01:03:49,100
There you go, so there's our
assessment.
1057
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,800
So, the go ahead, write that
down.
1058
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,300
Everybody.
Currently we are at six and up.
1059
01:03:56,100 --> 01:04:00,900
Let's jump buddy, first game of
the season, North Carolina.
1060
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,900
I'll let you lead on this one.
All you're going to Let Me Lie,
1061
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,900
buddy.
Yeah, so we're going to come
1062
01:04:07,900 --> 01:04:10,400
into Lane Stadium next Friday
night, 6 p.m.
1063
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:15,200
ESPN, five and a half Point
favorites on the road in the
1064
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,300
terror Dome and I'm sitting here
and they're ranked and it got
1065
01:04:19,300 --> 01:04:22,000
Sam.
How man he's gonna be a number
1066
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,200
one particular texture.
He is all number one, pick,
1067
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,900
great player.
I decided to do some math.
1068
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:31,000
Okay, in this is what I found
out.
1069
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:36,300
So, Michael Carter.
Running back.
1070
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,600
Gone.
Correct.
1071
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,400
Yep.
Devante Williams running back
1072
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:40,300
gone.
Correct.
1073
01:04:40,500 --> 01:04:43,400
Yep.
Tommy Brown running back going.
1074
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:44,600
Correct?
Yep.
1075
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:46,200
City wide receiver wide
receiver.
1076
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:49,300
Dad's new.
Some wide receiver going.
1077
01:04:49,300 --> 01:04:50,900
Correct.
Correct.
1078
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,900
Are they sitting in the transfer
portal or on another team for a
1079
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:57,000
grad?
Transfer year?
1080
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,700
No, they are all in NFL Training
Camps.
1081
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:07,000
All making rosters.
By the way, Brian Michael Court
1082
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,600
in the New York Jets is running
back.
1083
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,900
Late rounds next.
Uh next Tuesday night, ha ha ha.
1084
01:05:13,100 --> 01:05:15,800
So we're drafting next Tuesday.
Guess yeah.
1085
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,900
We've got a fan together.
All those guys are gone in their
1086
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:25,400
careers, which primarily is the
last two seasons, they made up
1087
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:31,400
10,000 and 42 yards from
scrimmage and eighty three
1088
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,200
touchdowns.
All of that is gone.
1089
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,300
I think Bo Corrales is a good
receiver.
1090
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:42,900
I don't think boat Corrales can
make up that much production
1091
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:52,800
along with guys who have really
never played. and lastly, last
1092
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,300
week was mentioned that they're
returning all five of their
1093
01:05:55,300 --> 01:06:00,300
starters on the offensive line.
Well, that's good.
1094
01:06:01,100 --> 01:06:07,000
But when an offensive line gives
up sacks, her attempt 104 out,
1095
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:12,000
120 teams, that ain't great Bob.
And without those two Dynamic
1096
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,200
running backs to run that RPO
offense I think the Hokies are
1097
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,900
going to shock the world next
Friday.
1098
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,800
We'll get into a deeper next
week.
1099
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:25,400
Give me a w to lead off the
season run so I am it.
1100
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,700
Stepping it up.
Curtis with the Hokie upset to
1101
01:06:30,700 --> 01:06:35,200
lead things off there.
Where you at not so fast.
1102
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,200
My friend.
Oh man, well, folks.
1103
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:43,900
Go ahead.
Put bribes at 6 and 10 I think I
1104
01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:47,400
think this is going to be a very
close game, but I think the
1105
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,900
experience of Sam Howell and the
Improvement of that defense and
1106
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:58,200
probably our offense while not
anemic or anything by that
1107
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,100
nature.
Taking probably a small step
1108
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,200
back especially in the running
game.
1109
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,600
I think we're going to have,
we're not going to have the
1110
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,900
ability to put up quite as many
points as we were able to
1111
01:07:07,900 --> 01:07:09,700
especially in the second half
last year.
1112
01:07:10,700 --> 01:07:14,200
And I think just the experience
of how that offensive line and
1113
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,600
that improved defense is going
to be enough to get them over
1114
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,700
the hump.
So I predict a somewhat high
1115
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:26,000
scoring game kind of like a 3833
3835 somewhere in that that
1116
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,100
range but I think UNC pulls the
W.
1117
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,700
All right, so Brian has just
taken the loss at UNC.
1118
01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:35,000
I have a stake in the w.
We will get deeper into this
1119
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,200
game next week, folks, who join
us back here.
1120
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,300
Same time, and watch it.
All right, let's move on.
1121
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,400
On we've already checked at
Middle Tennessee State off.
1122
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,300
Now, we're going to go to West
Virginia, Braun, what do you
1123
01:07:46,300 --> 01:07:50,300
think happens with the black
diamond trophy about a month
1124
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:55,400
from now?
Well, buddy, we are keeping the
1125
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,600
Black Diamond trophy.
Go on.
1126
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,200
I think on paper are a better
team.
1127
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,200
I think we're going to be able
to score enough points against
1128
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,400
this team even with some step
back in our offense.
1129
01:08:06,900 --> 01:08:10,500
And I think our improved defense
is going to do just enough in
1130
01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:13,900
that raucous atmosphere to pull
out a lake w.
1131
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,200
All right.
I'm going to dump now.
1132
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,100
I have seven and one I think we
lose this game because I think
1133
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:30,500
the home field advantage is
going to be massive for them
1134
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,600
even at a noon kick, which it's
going to be.
1135
01:08:34,100 --> 01:08:37,100
I think that is going to be one
of the biggest things is, we
1136
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:41,700
know, from our days of being
fans of long time ago.
1137
01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:45,000
When we played every year, that
is not a fun place to play, they
1138
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,200
are a bunch of assholes.
Throw shit.
1139
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:51,300
They do a lot of dirty shit.
I think they're really burning
1140
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:55,600
couches, burning couches, but I
think they are yearning to get
1141
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,399
that trophy back.
They haven't had it in 17 years.
1142
01:08:59,899 --> 01:09:04,500
Now besides that couple other
reasons, they lost three really
1143
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:08,899
key defenders in Tyreke Smith
Draiman and Darius Stills
1144
01:09:08,899 --> 01:09:11,899
obviously Darius still, I think
everybody knows Derek Stills.
1145
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:14,100
Were pretty high in the draft
was really looked at Harlan
1146
01:09:14,100 --> 01:09:16,899
defensive line, but they still
turn a turn.
1147
01:09:16,899 --> 01:09:20,300
Turn a Ton of production on the
defensive side of the ball.
1148
01:09:21,500 --> 01:09:24,300
So I think that is going to be
one thing with the raucous
1149
01:09:24,300 --> 01:09:26,800
crowd.
Again, we're not a terrible
1150
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,899
offense, but we're not good
enough to probably overcome both
1151
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,899
of those things.
Now, one thing that does give me
1152
01:09:33,899 --> 01:09:37,700
pause Is your quarterback
Garrett Dodge.
1153
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:41,000
He is a non-jew threat
quarterback so you don't have to
1154
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:47,600
worry about his legs and he's
not a good deep passer of the
1155
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,600
ball.
So it's one of those things
1156
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:57,500
where even though I see us
losing, I think a tight game.
1157
01:09:57,900 --> 01:09:59,100
I think a tight game.
Right.
1158
01:09:59,100 --> 01:10:02,400
Right now, as we sit, I mean,
some you super tight talk to me
1159
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:07,700
three weeks from now, once we
beat Carolina and maybe Middle,
1160
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:09,800
Tennessee, State.
And I'm six beers deep on a
1161
01:10:09,808 --> 01:10:12,100
Wednesday night, maybe I changed
my mind.
1162
01:10:12,300 --> 01:10:15,100
But right now, I just don't
think it's going to be enough.
1163
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,200
We're probably going to lose
like a 35-point game there at
1164
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,300
the moment.
Okay Brian.
1165
01:10:22,300 --> 01:10:26,200
Let's go to Notre Dame.
You will meet a go.
1166
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,300
You want to go?
I'll let you leave this one,
1167
01:10:29,300 --> 01:10:31,000
buddy.
You're going to let me leave
1168
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,200
this one, maybe this is the
trend here.
1169
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:41,500
I absolutely toggled with this
one back and forth over and over
1170
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:44,100
and over.
And then when I talked with
1171
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:48,500
bread and we had our
conversation with Brett and as
1172
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:52,600
he discussed, Jack Conte and
book, I think Ian book is an
1173
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,900
exceptional, Collegiate
quarterback has potential to be
1174
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:58,500
an NFL quarterback.
Be a little bit bigger than arm.
1175
01:10:58,500 --> 01:11:00,700
I think you would have been
probably the first two round
1176
01:11:00,700 --> 01:11:07,500
pick with the big piece.
That Brent discussing it just
1177
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:10,100
kept grinding, that me, one of
the guys is on the 49ers and
1178
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,700
Arron Banks, one of the guards,
they lost four offensive line
1179
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:17,800
starters.
Three of those guys went in the
1180
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,700
first three rounds of the draft.
If you're going in the first
1181
01:11:20,700 --> 01:11:23,100
three rounds of the draft, you
are either going to be an
1182
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:26,000
immediate starter and or an
immediate swing player
1183
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,000
immediately in the NFL.
Yep.
1184
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:34,300
And you know the total return of
production you know, isn't
1185
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:41,000
terrible on the offense.
It's not that bad overall but
1186
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,600
when you lose your quarterback
the core of your offensive line
1187
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,500
and you know the Fence, you
know, their return, a lot of
1188
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:51,000
good starters to on the
defensive line 2 and line backer
1189
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,500
room.
One in the back end.
1190
01:11:53,700 --> 01:11:57,000
They're under Freeman now.
So it's, you know, we're going
1191
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,400
to have about a month paper on
Freeman before we go into that
1192
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,100
game.
You know, like to learn
1193
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:04,300
multiple, you know, he likes to
do things different.
1194
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:11,100
But I think because of the way
our defensive line Looks in the
1195
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:15,400
first date.
I think this is going to be a
1196
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,400
rehash.
You ready?
1197
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:20,500
For the game Run.
She's going to rehash of 2019.
1198
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,400
But there's going to be.
If you scramble from Braxton
1199
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:29,200
Burmeister late, I think we look
at that game as a one-possession
1200
01:12:29,500 --> 01:12:33,800
a one field goal game but I
think when they gets his biggest
1201
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,700
win in the arrow.
So right there, I'm at 18 1.
1202
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,700
What about you?
I got this one as a loss, as
1203
01:12:43,700 --> 01:12:48,600
well, man.
Yeah, and it really comes down
1204
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,100
to a couple factors, it's going
to be Karen Williams, Chris
1205
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:55,800
Tyree, and a defense that
returns a lot of production.
1206
01:12:57,100 --> 01:13:01,800
I think Marcus Freeman is going
to potentially get even a little
1207
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,400
bit more out of those ranked
with running the multiple
1208
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,900
because you're going to see a
little bit of a different look
1209
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:10,200
and offenses, will be able to
get comfortable and make any
1210
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,300
keys.
And I think there's with the
1211
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:15,500
returning production, you're not
going to see a drop-off in the
1212
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:18,500
top end level of play for them
while.
1213
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:20,800
I think that's going to be a big
impact on their all their
1214
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:26,200
offense losing you know for
multi-year starters three of
1215
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,900
which were draft picks to in the
second round.
1216
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:35,200
One of the third I just I'm not
sure if that alone is going to
1217
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,300
be enough for us to get over the
hump against them, at that point
1218
01:13:38,300 --> 01:13:40,700
of the Season.
All right, well, let me ask
1219
01:13:40,700 --> 01:13:42,700
this.
Before we close this down.
1220
01:13:42,700 --> 01:13:46,400
Brian is now seven and two.
I made in one good Lord we're
1221
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,500
going to go to the coastal
chance.
1222
01:13:47,500 --> 01:13:50,500
We're going with the coastal if
I keep going like this, let me
1223
01:13:50,500 --> 01:13:53,800
ask this.
Do you see this being a rehash
1224
01:13:53,800 --> 01:14:00,600
of 2019 or 2018?
I think it's going to be closer
1225
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,400
to 2090.
I think this is definitely a
1226
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,500
close down to the wire game.
You're going to see.
1227
01:14:04,500 --> 01:14:07,900
This is an absolute dog fight at
night in.
1228
01:14:07,900 --> 01:14:10,500
Yeah, I think we're going to
struggle up and down.
1229
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:12,600
I think we'll be able to move
the ball somewhat against them
1230
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:17,100
but I think we have a hard time
finding the end zone and I think
1231
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:20,100
they're going to have they're
gonna hit some big plays against
1232
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:21,900
us in the running game but
they're going to struggle to
1233
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:24,000
move the ball consistently in
the passing game.
1234
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,500
Because we'll be able to get
after their quarterback so that
1235
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:31,400
that's how I think the game is
going to go, nothing's gonna be
1236
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,500
a tight one down at the end, but
I think they'll just have enough
1237
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:35,100
gas to get over the hump against
us.
1238
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:37,600
All right.
Again, folks, talk to us and
1239
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,600
five weeks.
We might have very different
1240
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,800
opinions on this, you know.
And again, this is us looking
1241
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,900
where we are now in.
I think as we get to kind of the
1242
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,500
Middle Point here, this is what
it is.
1243
01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:52,700
This is what we're seeing as we
are now.
1244
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,000
I think I'm looking at an
Mystical and I think Brian's a
1245
01:14:56,008 --> 01:14:58,200
football player that's been on
the field, a lot more than me.
1246
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,200
So he's taking a little bit of a
different look, but if y'all are
1247
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,900
coming in at us in three weeks
and we'll Curtis, you said we're
1248
01:15:04,900 --> 01:15:07,400
going to lose West Virginia.
Now, you got us winning why?
1249
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:11,700
Well, because I've seen Game
tape and it's different
1250
01:15:11,700 --> 01:15:13,200
opinions.
All right?
1251
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,400
Brian?
I'm going to let you leave this
1252
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,900
one.
Yeah, comes to Lane stadium in
1253
01:15:17,900 --> 01:15:21,200
October.
What do you think on that one?
1254
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:25,200
That's a fucking W for the
Hokies that in our dues.
1255
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,500
He cannot win in Lane.
We're going to eat.
1256
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:31,200
Kenny pick it alive.
It's going to be fun.
1257
01:15:33,700 --> 01:15:37,200
Like at this point can he pick?
It is what he is there to live
1258
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,400
and die by what he's able to do
and how much they're able to
1259
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,700
help him in every game.
I think that defense takes a big
1260
01:15:44,700 --> 01:15:47,500
step back this year, losing a
lot of talent to the NFL.
1261
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,800
And I don't think all of a
sudden, can he pick?
1262
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,900
It is going to be a new new
player.
1263
01:15:52,900 --> 01:15:57,000
We know, we know his floor and
we know his ceiling and I think
1264
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,800
we're going to get more of the
same, but I think we're going to
1265
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,600
be doing a lot.
Better job of making him
1266
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,600
uncomfortable.
This year and just for some
1267
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:08,800
reason when we play pit in Lane
it is completely different than
1268
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,800
playing pit in Heinz Field.
Exactly.
1269
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,600
You know what Whitney's to like
schedule that game every year
1270
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,400
and make it be at FedEx.
Now we do not know, let's just
1271
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:19,900
do it at FedEx.
It's a little point for
1272
01:16:19,900 --> 01:16:21,400
everybody.
Y'all can't put anybody in the
1273
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:25,200
stands anyway.
We have agreed for the first
1274
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:30,200
time and I Braun I say we take
the W similar lot of stuff.
1275
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:34,300
You said you know pits offenses
bringing a ton of production
1276
01:16:34,300 --> 01:16:38,000
back and you take less the
Virginia Tech game last year
1277
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,900
that offense was not good.
It did not produce and kill.
1278
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:43,500
Kenny pig is still the
quarterback.
1279
01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:45,300
We know what he can do, what he
can do.
1280
01:16:45,700 --> 01:16:48,700
So where's your one big piece in
the defense you already
1281
01:16:48,700 --> 01:16:50,100
mentioned?
They lost a ton.
1282
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:55,500
They really lost their top.
Five players in Hamlin Ford
1283
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,200
Wyman.
There to their two, best players
1284
01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,900
in the secondary.
Their three best players on the
1285
01:16:59,900 --> 01:17:02,100
defense of huh?
And I mean they had a couple of
1286
01:17:02,108 --> 01:17:05,900
young guys that DT get, you
know, All-American nods.
1287
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,300
But I don't and they can
definitely ramp up and get some
1288
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:10,700
production back on that fence
blonde.
1289
01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:13,000
I don't think they get enough
production back to get them
1290
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,600
where they need to be to beat
Team like Virginia Tech.
1291
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,900
I also wonder if Kenny picket
can't play, if the hit ad
1292
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:25,600
finally says, dude, you stuck
with this guy for three bleep in
1293
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,100
years, he's not Good.
Do something different or you're
1294
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:31,500
fired?
I think that's the problem is
1295
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:33,400
getting, it's not the Kenny
Pickett isn't good, it's that
1296
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,900
he's not good enough to hide all
the other deficiencies that they
1297
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:42,700
have on that offense and but but
they expect that of him, they
1298
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:45,200
put that on him and he's just
not that guy.
1299
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,800
Now they have whether they have
that.
1300
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,300
Got on the roster is another
question.
1301
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:51,200
I don't think they do
necessarily I think Kenny
1302
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,900
pickets their best option at
quarterback but that doesn't
1303
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:56,700
mean that he's the guy that's
going to get it done.
1304
01:17:57,700 --> 01:18:00,600
So Kenny pick it is their best
option at quarterback.
1305
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,200
Are you that what you're saying?
Yeah, well you can't pick.
1306
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:10,900
Its record is 21 and 17 in three
seasons and we're probably going
1307
01:18:10,900 --> 01:18:14,400
to see just above five hundred
play from them again this year
1308
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,900
guys.
It's going to be six and six or
1309
01:18:15,900 --> 01:18:19,900
seven and five seven and five
get bank that shit right now.
1310
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:23,800
All right.
Maybe that's when we do lay, we
1311
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,400
lay on the apps here, pit.
Under whatever their number is,
1312
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,100
I think it is seven and a half.
So I think we feel safe on that.
1313
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:34,800
Let's move on Brian.
Let's go to be A game last year
1314
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,800
that, you know, it looked like a
blowout, you did it look like an
1315
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,500
absolute destruction.
It was 42 14, or something like
1316
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:45,400
that.
We won by more than three
1317
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,800
touchdowns.
Sorry, I don't remember the
1318
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:54,200
number on, but we force five
turnovers and you know the story
1319
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,600
kind of coming in 4 BC, this
year's can Frank.
1320
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,900
Cignetti a guy who was coach for
a long time NFL and college
1321
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,400
coach some good quarterbacks
along as Away, can he have
1322
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,400
filled your canvas take that
step?
1323
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,700
Because they house, they have
one of the best offensive lines
1324
01:19:09,700 --> 01:19:11,900
about owning the ACC.
But in the country they have a
1325
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:14,600
bunch of good weapons.
Its kind of struggling with the
1326
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,000
running back position, but I
think with a guy like jerk
1327
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,900
eviction the weapons on the
outside that can be hidden.
1328
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:24,500
I think he's going to take the
step and, you know, on the
1329
01:19:24,500 --> 01:19:27,200
fence.
It's can a secondary disk
1330
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:31,000
progress up because they run a
victory and a half.
1331
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,900
They want to cover 1, cover
three scheme, That's what
1332
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:35,500
they're running.
That's the look.
1333
01:19:35,500 --> 01:19:38,500
You're going to get there.
They're not variation.
1334
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:41,000
I'm giving you multiples.
That's what they do.
1335
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,300
So if that can take a step and I
think jerky, which is going to
1336
01:19:45,308 --> 01:19:51,600
take a step and I think if this
was a Saturday game may be
1337
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,600
coming off of, you know, a
normal week, we'd be able to
1338
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:01,900
pull the W, but I'm going to
give us the L here and maybe the
1339
01:20:01,900 --> 01:20:06,200
only thing I can see is Is maybe
they're good and they're like
1340
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,400
six six or seven Lynch coming in
in the Stadium's, a little bit
1341
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,900
electric to where it gives our
guys some juice.
1342
01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:15,100
But that's the end.
You know, I think jerk a bitch
1343
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:19,200
is actually going to become a
first-round quarterback because
1344
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,000
of what he is probably going to
Pittsburgh.
1345
01:20:22,100 --> 01:20:23,500
Okay.
Okay.
1346
01:20:23,900 --> 01:20:26,400
What do you think he's going to
be become literally
1347
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,800
Roethlisberger 2.0, though.
Exactly.
1348
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:34,600
Where the last name one person.
Okay, okay, I'm right there with
1349
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,000
you bud.
I've got this one as an L, as
1350
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,800
well, and it comes down to jirka
Vic.
1351
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:46,200
It comes down to what I think
will be a slightly improved
1352
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,100
defense.
Especially in terms of limiting,
1353
01:20:48,100 --> 01:20:54,000
the big explosive plays
especially from the Position and
1354
01:20:55,300 --> 01:20:57,600
I think just an extra year of
season is going to be just
1355
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,600
enough to get them over the hump
because that game was not as
1356
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,900
close was a lot closer than I
should say.
1357
01:21:02,900 --> 01:21:06,000
A lot closer than what the
scoreboard indicated last year.
1358
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,200
You mentioned the five turnovers
you when you have five turnovers
1359
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,600
but you only have that that
margin of Victory.
1360
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,200
I mean tells you that that's a
pretty close game.
1361
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,200
That was probably a one score
game.
1362
01:21:18,500 --> 01:21:22,400
If they play to their average in
terms of turnover, Differential
1363
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,400
right.
Being yeah, pretty much, you
1364
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,000
know?
But that is what it is.
1365
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:35,100
All right, Brian.
So currently now, I'm not into
1366
01:21:35,700 --> 01:21:41,300
your Aiden 3 so we're not that
far off from one another What do
1367
01:21:41,308 --> 01:21:49,200
you think about Miami?
But that's going to be know I'll
1368
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,500
damn even even losing all their
defensive line.
1369
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,100
Yeah I think they do a pretty
good job of reloading and I
1370
01:21:58,100 --> 01:22:03,400
think that the Eric King is
going to have a monster year if
1371
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:09,500
he can remain healthy.
I'm not looking forward to this
1372
01:22:09,500 --> 01:22:13,900
game very much you know they
didn't do too bad in terms of
1373
01:22:13,900 --> 01:22:18,500
returning Talent they return
some of their their production
1374
01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:23,200
from last year but really A lot
of the production of offense and
1375
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:29,100
a good amount on defense.
So this may be the year that
1376
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:33,200
Manny Diaz figures it out and
kind of gets them to play
1377
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:39,400
consistently to their level of
talent compared to having those
1378
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,900
about two or three, Clunkers in
the year that either they lose,
1379
01:22:43,900 --> 01:22:46,600
or they play down to an opponent
that they should and barely
1380
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:51,600
scrape out a win.
So I think look for them to
1381
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:56,000
potentially.
Also this other potentially push
1382
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,900
you and see for the ACC Coastal
Championship.
1383
01:22:59,300 --> 01:23:01,500
All right, so bronze, kind of
locked it in.
1384
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:04,200
Here.
He is now eight wins for losses
1385
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,000
for the Hokies essentially
probably finishing any somewhere
1386
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,600
between second and third, right?
Depending on what happened to
1387
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,400
say, for the third third and the
coastal.
1388
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,400
I've got, actually, my Emmy
winning the coastal.
1389
01:23:15,500 --> 01:23:17,300
A Miami one in the coaster.
All right.
1390
01:23:17,900 --> 01:23:20,300
Well, I'm taking this.
Anil as well, folks.
1391
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,500
But let me just say this
everything is determined on
1392
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:26,300
Derek Kings health of how they
do this year.
1393
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:30,100
Those two other guys are not
even close to ready.
1394
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:33,500
Come November, they still will
not be as close to ready and
1395
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:38,700
there's one thing that kind of
caught my that what makes the
1396
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:46,000
are king So Special.
If you look Thank you, thank you
1397
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,600
T.
SS M for saying this is cool.
1398
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,000
Thank you for this.
There's one thing I looked at
1399
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,400
Brown that will probably shock
you from last year.
1400
01:23:54,400 --> 01:24:00,200
Miami's elusive plays wasn't was
significantly in the red last
1401
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,300
year.
Okay, on both sides of the ball
1402
01:24:03,300 --> 01:24:06,200
or on machine on both sides but
on passing and running nails.
1403
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,900
But that team was still able to
put up over 440 yards of offense
1404
01:24:11,900 --> 01:24:14,600
a game and over 34 points a
game.
1405
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,900
That's why I say this is the
Fate lies on how the Eric King
1406
01:24:18,900 --> 01:24:23,400
is coming off as a CEO because
the way it seems is teams
1407
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,600
respected.
His running ability so much,
1408
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:29,600
they were not going to give up
the big runs, right?
1409
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,900
They weren't, but what they did,
because of that, you are getting
1410
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:40,100
the Old Death By A Thousand
Seven yard cut. they were
1411
01:24:40,100 --> 01:24:45,900
getting yards if you take the
air King out of this offense, I
1412
01:24:45,907 --> 01:24:48,400
think they finish not first.
Not second, not third.
1413
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,100
I think they finished fourth in
the coaster.
1414
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:53,000
Let us live with you.
They will.
1415
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,700
This will be a very live and die
by here.
1416
01:24:55,700 --> 01:24:57,400
Healthy, dear King.
Is it really is?
1417
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,500
If he, if he plays 12 games, I
think it's there.
1418
01:25:01,500 --> 01:25:03,900
There right there with you and
see to win the coastal.
1419
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:07,800
Yep, if he plays, I think it's
pretty much a toss-up, if he's
1420
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,600
healthy for 12 games, if he
plays every game, they win the
1421
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,400
coastal.
They, when you're with me,
1422
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,000
you're picking them to win the
coastal to I'm with you if he's
1423
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:20,300
healthy, they when the coastal.
Okay, we finished second though
1424
01:25:20,500 --> 01:25:25,200
because I think, oh, he's just
throw the, I got us - I've got a
1425
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:31,000
smile and if you've got them,
probably what 10 into 10 into,
1426
01:25:31,300 --> 01:25:35,700
we're will be, they'll be
tending to Alabama, they'll
1427
01:25:35,700 --> 01:25:37,000
probably screw up one other
time.
1428
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,800
They'll do a typical - so you
think that game is going to
1429
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,700
decide the coastal.
Yep, because I think you and
1430
01:25:43,700 --> 01:25:45,500
sees not only going to lose to
us.
1431
01:25:46,700 --> 01:25:49,600
I think UNC about UNC schedule
here.
1432
01:25:49,700 --> 01:25:52,200
This is the great.
Wonderful thing of streaming
1433
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,400
folks, Brian usually could edit
this, to make it not seem as
1434
01:25:55,400 --> 01:26:00,000
long everything in real time.
Lee isn't operating in real
1435
01:26:00,700 --> 01:26:02,400
reliable.
That means.
1436
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,700
So I think UNC is going to use
to us.
1437
01:26:09,300 --> 01:26:11,400
I think UNC is going to lose to
Miami.
1438
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:17,400
And I think UNC is going to get
tripped up by NC State.
1439
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,100
I could see that in feast and
definitely seemed to watch out
1440
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:26,800
and potential Notre Dame because
they play Notre Dame, much they
1441
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,600
play Notre Dame three weeks
after we played them.
1442
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,800
So you got UNC pulling 3 plus
losses for their lose.
1443
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,500
Four games are going to go
ahead, a okay, they're going to
1444
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:41,100
go in for and is NC.
State is probably the team that
1445
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:45,100
could snake bite them this year.
And that's a lot of getting from
1446
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:48,400
weekend.
Probably, that I'm pretty.
1447
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,000
Hi on NC State.
I should say I'm a lot higher on
1448
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:57,500
n.c. state than I have been in
any point the the last Five
1449
01:26:57,500 --> 01:27:00,300
years, at least, I mean, his in
Sea, state is probably the one
1450
01:27:00,300 --> 01:27:04,600
team in the Atlantic to watch
out for exactly.
1451
01:27:04,700 --> 01:27:06,600
So I'm not in three bronze
eight.
1452
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,700
Informed, that is our current
predictions entertainment
1453
01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:15,600
purposes, only Billy Ray.
What is happening, buddy?
1454
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,100
On the Saturday shall know that.
We appreciate you guys watching
1455
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:25,200
us tonight.
So we let me ask this Braun
1456
01:27:25,700 --> 01:27:29,500
either of our records black
Monday comes.
1457
01:27:29,500 --> 01:27:32,100
This just point, they still have
a job if he wants it.
1458
01:27:34,900 --> 01:27:38,300
I think at this point given what
we saw for the happened last
1459
01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:44,000
year, if it's a Twins or better,
I think we're looking at another
1460
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,700
year of Justin Fuente.
I think you're right.
1461
01:27:49,100 --> 01:27:52,300
I think he wins is the threshold
if he wins nine.
1462
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,100
Well we're all happy not
completely happy because the
1463
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:59,000
gold every mistake, I think the
threshold could be potentially
1464
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,600
lower in necessarily say that
that's a good thing.
1465
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,900
I'm just saying I think based on
the information we got from last
1466
01:28:06,900 --> 01:28:10,400
year I think I'm mining that
with we're in the middle of a
1467
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,300
major campaign for Reach For
Excellence.
1468
01:28:14,300 --> 01:28:18,200
I feel like just there's a lot
of factors where Wit may not
1469
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:23,500
want to upset the apple cart
unless things, get ugly, got it.
1470
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:29,700
And when I say that, I mean, no
bowl, no, no, UVA win essential
1471
01:28:29,700 --> 01:28:32,400
essentially, those six games.
I said we're booking.
1472
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:39,300
We're putting you began the Elle
column and then yeah, and that's
1473
01:28:39,300 --> 01:28:41,400
when we get in trouble and
that's when we started having
1474
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,400
similar conversations that we
had last offseason and I'm not
1475
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,200
saying that that's necessarily
my expectations of what I think
1476
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,500
we should do.
I'm just saying, I feel like
1477
01:28:51,500 --> 01:28:55,000
based on the information that we
have, that's the most likely
1478
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,100
outcome.
Awesome.
1479
01:28:57,700 --> 01:29:01,100
All right.
So folks, we got a, we got a, we
1480
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:03,700
got a big question here from the
sun's real quick before we close
1481
01:29:03,700 --> 01:29:08,200
out.
What game scares you more BC or
1482
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:15,000
pit so at BC or pit in Lane BC
100% 1000%?
1483
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:20,200
No. 138 percent ever seen that
on the commitment to the 138
1484
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:25,500
percent, BC scares me more
because we know what we get on
1485
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:31,100
offense from pit sons and we
know on defense, you don't
1486
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:33,800
replace that many guys that go
to the league.
1487
01:29:34,500 --> 01:29:39,000
Become an elite unit, and even
with the elite unit they had
1488
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,900
last year.
If you remember that game Braun,
1489
01:29:40,900 --> 01:29:44,100
we were pissed but it literally
took us to the third quarter to
1490
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:47,000
get pissed.
It's not like they came out and
1491
01:29:47,500 --> 01:29:52,900
it's not like them at Lane in
2019 when we were there and
1492
01:29:52,900 --> 01:29:57,300
after the first quarter, we just
knew his games over there.
1493
01:29:57,300 --> 01:30:00,800
Yeah, you gotta be see.
I mean, say what you will about
1494
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,800
the stadium size, but they get
it rocking up there in Chestnut
1495
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,000
Hill, man.
Now, and that's why I'm hoping
1496
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,600
they have a good record because
a Friday night game up there.
1497
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:14,800
If it's rocking and get some
electricity, it will definitely
1498
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,600
give a better chance for us.
If we go up there and they're
1499
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,100
like four and four.
And I know that's been us saying
1500
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:22,000
with jirka bitch didn't take a
step with your coverage.
1501
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000
Could take a step that defense
doesn't.
1502
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,800
They could still be myth, but if
there's no juice in that
1503
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:30,200
stadium, so tough for guys to
get up for yep.
1504
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:35,400
Alright number, so believe it or
not brawn, This is our last
1505
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:43,100
broadcast of 2021 with no
college football bloody yes,
1506
01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:45,900
sir.
We got real games.
1507
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:49,300
This weekend, ladies and
gentlemen, re games conference
1508
01:30:49,300 --> 01:30:51,800
games.
Not the best late.
1509
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:57,000
You've got one, two, three,
four, five, yeah, 5 games.
1510
01:30:59,500 --> 01:31:03,200
I like that TW o SM, it needs to
be a win.
1511
01:31:03,300 --> 01:31:04,800
BC is going to be tough.
I agree.
1512
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,600
We got five games Saturday.
We kick off and we're going to
1513
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,000
pick two of them today.
Y'all know, we normally pick all
1514
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,600
the ACC games involved or most
of them.
1515
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,200
Sometimes it's ones like we
don't even try to look at and at
1516
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,600
least maybe a couple big game,
but we're going to games this
1517
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:21,500
week.
We're looking at the Nebraska
1518
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:24,200
Illinois game and the Hawaii
UCLA game.
1519
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:26,700
Let's start Nebraska, Illinois,
Braun.
1520
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:30,300
And what We've got here is
Nebraska's on the road.
1521
01:31:30,300 --> 01:31:33,700
Scott Frost is in deep shit.
All over the place between not
1522
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,500
games in the assemble a shit and
you've got Illinois Bret,
1523
01:31:38,500 --> 01:31:44,800
Bielema takes over to Illinois.
Back in Big Ten, country back in
1524
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,500
somewhere he's comfortable.
Here's the line.
1525
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,300
Nebraska is lame 7.
This is a tell annoy 55 is the
1526
01:31:53,300 --> 01:31:57,700
over under number the, one p.m.
kick in for all those
1527
01:31:57,700 --> 01:31:59,700
degenerates like us who will
probably be?
1528
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:05,500
I mean I'll be watching.
It is going to be on Fox at
1529
01:32:05,500 --> 01:32:09,500
1:00.
Last year's meeting 4123
1530
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:11,600
Illinois.
So what are you thinking?
1531
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:15,300
This one brand taking a line and
taking an over under which you
1532
01:32:15,300 --> 01:32:20,300
got.
I think Illinois is going to
1533
01:32:20,300 --> 01:32:23,200
cover.
All right, so you're taking
1534
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:25,500
Illinois with the point, right?
Yep.
1535
01:32:26,700 --> 01:32:30,000
All right, so let's my God write
that down.
1536
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:37,300
Um, I'm not screwing with the
stinking spread, I'm just not.
1537
01:32:37,300 --> 01:32:41,300
It's, it's too much going on.
We don't know where Nebraska's
1538
01:32:41,300 --> 01:32:43,300
head is.
Bielema, is trying to install
1539
01:32:43,300 --> 01:32:44,900
something new.
They're probably going back to
1540
01:32:44,900 --> 01:32:47,300
his Wisconsin, roots, in a big
power game.
1541
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,400
Don't know if he has the players
there for Alec Brian is on
1542
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,300
Illinois.
So I really am going to kind of
1543
01:32:52,300 --> 01:32:55,900
pull for them.
I am going to take the over 55.
1544
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:57,200
Okay.
Okay.
1545
01:32:57,900 --> 01:33:00,600
For me, you're staying, you're
staying away from the spread
1546
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,400
because there's too many
variables wait.
1547
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,100
Umi variables.
Also first games it, alright, if
1548
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:12,200
I forced your hand who you got
in the spread, um, if you force
1549
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,300
me on the spread, I think I
would take the Illinois, okay?
1550
01:33:15,300 --> 01:33:18,900
It also could see Nebraska who
has a really good defense
1551
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,200
locking down of converting
offense.
1552
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,900
In winning by, you know, 14 17
points.
1553
01:33:25,900 --> 01:33:30,300
But I'm going to go over because
this game has not went under in
1554
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:32,800
like ever since they started
playing each other in last few
1555
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,800
years.
So I'm over 55.
1556
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:40,800
Brian is Illinois taking the
points and their that is watch
1557
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,500
that game.
I'm going to try to Lodge it.
1558
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:45,700
We've got some stuff going on
Saturday but I think I'll be
1559
01:33:45,700 --> 01:33:48,700
home by 1:00 to get the old man
cave fired up here.
1560
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:52,700
Second game, Brian watching the
West.
1561
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,900
It's Coast, Hawaii.
CLA UCLA.
1562
01:33:55,900 --> 01:33:59,100
Chip, Kelly is essentially in a
make-or-break season for him.
1563
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:04,800
Absolutely, UCLA is laying 18
points in the over under is 68
1564
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:09,600
and a half, what you got.
So I think it's two things here.
1565
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:16,400
UCLA does return a lot on
offense, but They notoriously
1566
01:34:16,500 --> 01:34:19,800
every season start a little
slow.
1567
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:23,200
So I definitely have UCLA
pulling this one out, but I
1568
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:28,200
think Hawaii with that spread
you know, they have a lot of
1569
01:34:28,208 --> 01:34:31,600
points to work with.
I think they, they cover I'm
1570
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,400
with you on that.
I think we'll why covers.
1571
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:38,800
I think UCLA wins over under.
Um, I'd say overall, I think
1572
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:41,000
this is going to turn into a big
shootout which is going to be
1573
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,600
great at 3:30 on a Saturday
afternoon.
1574
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:50,200
Buddy, is anything broken in the
last hour and 36 minutes?
1575
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:54,300
This one a long time?
I haven't seen anything come
1576
01:34:54,300 --> 01:34:56,700
across buddy.
I think, I think we don't have
1577
01:34:56,700 --> 01:34:59,000
any major break here, as we
close out.
1578
01:34:59,300 --> 01:35:00,900
Awesome.
