The Hokies hobbled out of Durham worse than they hobbled in after suffering a 31-28 loss that put another signal caller on the shelf. Pop Watson played as well as could be expected but VT was doomed by leaky OL play and a defense that gave up too many big plays. In a familiar sight for anyone who has watched this team the last decade plus the Hokies must now retain the Commonwealth Cup if they hope to extend their season with a bowl bid. Buckle up...this one could get ugly.

Pick a fat L.

Close L Oh, fat L.
Close L, but it sucked.
11
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Oh good, that's the worst in the
after game specials.
12
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Yeah, what'd you say?
So the worst of the afternoon
13
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,000
specials.
The worst of the afternoon
14
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920
specials.
Well, gentlemen, welcome to
15
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:46,480
Thanksgiving Week 2024.
Also should be known, also known
16
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
on this podcast as Hate Week
because obviously Saturday night
17
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,800
8:00 will be UVA versus our
beloved Hokies.
18
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,520
Yep, I'm drinking tonight,
y'all.
19
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,240
So the loop's not going to be as
sealed.
20
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Not going crazy like I will in
about 3 weeks, but let's just
21
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,920
say it's happening tonight.
As we were, as we were.
22
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,000
Josh, is this a reference to us
or the team?
23
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Or Saturday night, whichever 1
you want to count.
24
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,520
Hey, gentlemen, you were in
person, so we look forward to
25
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520
your insight.
Well, first of all, did you have
26
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
a good time regardless of
outcome?
27
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,080
I did have a good time.
I was the game with one of my
28
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Duke buddies and one of one of
his Vt buddies.
29
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120
So we had a good time.
I saw some of the Sun's people,
30
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,080
some of my former Charlotte
peeps.
31
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,280
So it was a good time, man.
I'm just, you know, it was good
32
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600
to kind of just be be with my
friends and everything.
33
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Like, I didn't really have super
high expectations and turns out
34
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
that those expectations were
justified.
35
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
So yeah, I mean, the practical
feeling, that's what it is.
36
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
I'm just, I'm just here to see
see my friends and enjoy night
37
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
out watching football.
And I got that so.
38
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080
All right.
Well, glad to hear you had a
39
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120
good time, regardless of outcome
of the game.
40
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Obviously you sent us a few
texts while you're in there
41
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,640
about some stuff going on and
everything.
42
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,440
So that should not be put on
this Oh.
43
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160
No, no, no, no.
That is, that is behind lock
44
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,079
and.
Key Hey, there's Wade has that
45
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:19,640
Wi-Fi though they can you can
get those.
46
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,920
Texts out with regularity.
There's a statement #1 Shelton
47
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,440
got not only one text out,
Shelton got about 7:00 or 8:00
48
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,200
texts out during the course of
the game because of good Wi-Fi.
49
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
That's another thing to bitch
about, but let's get into it.
50
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840
We are going to know the enemy.
We're going to look a little bit
51
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,360
at UVA.
We're going to always, as
52
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,480
always, go big screeners.
Some other news and notes as
53
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,600
well.
Some things breaking.
54
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Obviously, I want to look at the
playoff rankings, but we got to
55
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,760
start with what did take place.
What Shelton is listed list what
56
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,600
Shelton witnessed in living
color, live and alive Saturday
57
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,120
night.
A 3128 loss to Duke, another
58
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,560
late November loss toward the
Carolina team by 1 score.
59
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,680
And if you're keeping record at
home, we are.
60
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,080
Brent Pry is now 1 and. 12,
Third, 12/13/12.
61
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,920
One and 1213 games, Brian, that
have been decided by 1 score in
62
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,080
his tenure here.
That is right now right at 1/3
63
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,760
of the games he's played one and
12 and it sucks.
64
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,840
So I'm not even going to be beat
around the Bush.
65
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
I always like to say usually
what went well first.
66
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920
I'm not in that mood tonight in
y'all's opinion, Brian.
67
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Actually, Shelton, you want to
start us off?
68
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,480
You saw it and I'm sure you did
some data dig in.
69
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,200
What went bad Saturday night?
Well, first and most obvious is
70
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,040
just the explosive passing
plays.
71
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
I mean, it sounded like from
what Price said in the post
72
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,680
game, you know, they had some
coverage busts, some safeties
73
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,800
made bad reads on one of the I
think the second touchdown by
74
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,280
Duke or maybe no, it was the
third, the third big passing
75
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,080
play.
They accepted the third
76
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,480
touchdown before the end of the
first half.
77
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Dante Lovett just fell down.
So I mean nothing you're going
78
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,840
to do but just shake your head
there.
79
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,040
So I mean, yeah, that was really
the game for jib because I don't
80
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,280
think, I mean running wise, they
averaged less than three guys
81
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,320
per carry.
I thought it was one of the
82
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,800
better run performances for the
Vt defense all season long, if
83
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
not perhaps the best.
So it was kind of disappointing
84
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,440
from that perspective to just
see how well they stopped the
85
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
run.
But they give so many chunk
86
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,600
passing plays that it almost
doesn't even matter.
87
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,880
And you, you spot a team 14
points in the 1st 5 minutes the
88
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600
first quarter, yeah, you come
back to like, that's hard to
89
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,760
dig, that's hard to that's a
hard hole to dig yourself out
90
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560
of.
So and then third, I mean, third
91
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560
quarter, you know, Duke came out
with a really good first, first
92
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,960
drive to that half kind of
gashed ET through the air and
93
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
also with the run as well, you
know, don't know what happened
94
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,680
there, but I don't know, man,
just you know, they were they
95
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
were successful most of the time
the defense was, but just just
96
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,720
ungodly amounts of of big chunk
passing plays really did them
97
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,880
in.
Yeah, the frustrating thing was
98
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,720
just watching coverage, man,
because that's something I feel
99
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,520
like we've been not great at.
But I mean, we we hadn't been
100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,760
giving up those big chunk plays
like that all year.
101
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,360
So it was frustrating.
And I know a couple, you know,
102
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360
you had, I think Lovett slipped
on one.
103
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,760
He slipped on another one of
those, a touchdown one that set
104
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640
up a touchdown like Shelton was
saying, just before the half.
105
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,680
And then he had a big busted
coverage on that first one where
106
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,440
it looked like most Phillips was
kind of eyes in the backfield
107
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760
and next thing you know, you
know guys 10 yards behind him.
108
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,080
So it was just frustrating to
watch those big plays kind of
109
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720
happened because again, if you
take away those big plays, it's
110
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,000
a it's a completely different
game.
111
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280
But that's why you got to, you
got to be there and make the
112
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000
play.
Yeah, it's here you go.
113
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,200
This was early in the game.
It was 5 defensive plays.
114
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
They scored 14 points.
That's just unbelievable.
115
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040
I'll say this and we'll, we'll,
we'll probably touch into this a
116
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,800
little bit more.
The bad was into the game for
117
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
me.
Hey, I did not get to watch the
118
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,040
second-half.
We were visiting family.
119
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,560
I had it at my sister's house.
My mother didn't have it.
120
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360
So I'm between texting the shit
out of these guys along with
121
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Allie and other people and
watching Gamecast, trying to
122
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,600
figure out what's going on. 144
left, the fumble happens.
123
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,440
We get the ball great.
We got 3 timeouts.
124
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,559
You can run your whole offense
because you have timeouts in the
125
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,799
bag and we just chunked the
ball.
126
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,039
Let's just throw it.
Let's just throw it like, let's
127
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,440
try.
No semblance of attempting to
128
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,120
drive the ball.
We're down three.
129
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,840
You don't need a touchdown.
You do not need 84 yards.
130
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,000
You need at best, I'm going to
say 55 because of John Loves
131
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Lake, 55 yards.
That could easily be a couple
132
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,800
plays.
And I sit here and I'm
133
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
frustrated as hell because
that's not the first time it's
134
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,520
happened.
Happened against Vandy late in
135
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400
the game, happened against
Rutgers late in the game.
136
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720
So remember those things.
It's this consistently at the
137
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,120
end of the game we're down and
it's like literally it's like
138
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,840
playing a 7 year old on Madden
or college football and you get
139
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200
them down to a down late.
What do they do?
140
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,680
They run everything deep.
All you got to do is play
141
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,800
quarters or play covers for
you'll pick the ball off.
142
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,800
I don't fucking get it.
I'm not paid $1,000,000 and I
143
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,640
could sit here and tell you 144
left.
144
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,240
Heck, 1 little toss out the
Tooting, try to get the edge,
145
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,560
maybe he sails in.
Busted 20 yard run, run a screen
146
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,520
run.
Something quick to get the ball
147
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,240
in somebody's hands quick and we
didn't.
148
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Well, another thing we, we, when
you talk about that, we close
149
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,040
the first half with a couple
situations where that bit us in
150
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760
the ass as well.
You know, you get in the red
151
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,640
zone, was it under 5 minutes,
seven step drop, you get sacked,
152
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,680
another seven step drop, you get
a fumble.
153
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,600
Now all of a sudden, you know
they're in business.
154
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,080
They go down, they take the lead
there and, and then, you know,
155
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,280
you end up getting the ball.
Sorry, they, they, they, we got
156
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,640
the ball back, had what, 6
seconds on the on the clock and
157
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,640
another seven step drop instead
of just running a quick out to
158
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,520
try to get love a chance to, to
kick a field goal there.
159
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,000
So that sequence to close the
first half was mind boggling to
160
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,600
me.
You know, we had a bunch of
161
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,640
opportunities where we could
have really either taken a big
162
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,320
lead or at least got the lead
back there at the end and just
163
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,320
kind of, you know, pissed down
our leg a lot with the play
164
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,080
calling and and the execution
there.
165
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Shown anything else went bad.
I know you said you had
166
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,160
something, I told you put it in
the chamber, but I'm assuming
167
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
that was going to be in the bad
category.
168
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Did you, did you still have
that?
169
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,960
Well, that's more of a Brent
Price at which we can talk about
170
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,600
if we get into the coaching
discourse.
171
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,640
But yeah, I mean, I don't know,
I I didn't think I thought the
172
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,960
offense moved the ball pretty
well actually.
173
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,240
So I don't really have too many
gripes for the offense other
174
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520
than maybe how that that last
first first half drive ended,
175
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,440
you know, where they got down,
ran the ball, took a time out in
176
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000
the second down, I think it was,
and took a big sack.
177
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,440
I understand what they were
trying to do with, you know,
178
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,920
maybe only no timeouts left
second down.
179
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,120
So obviously, you know, you got
to take, you know, try taking a
180
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,560
shot to the end zone, you get
sacked, then you've got to pass
181
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,520
again to kind of throw the ball
away because you can't, you
182
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,320
know, you can't have the ball
clock running after that third
183
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,040
down play.
So it's like, yeah, I don't
184
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,080
know, just kind of messed with
drive.
185
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120
I mean, I know they had some
execution miscues on that one,
186
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,000
but that just was kind of
screwed up from the start.
187
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Hey, Robbie, I, I agree with you
here 100%.
188
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,560
But at the same time, at the
same time, that's when your,
189
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,120
your coordinator doesn't
necessarily put an inexperienced
190
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880
quarterback in that situation,
in that down in distance, in
191
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,520
that location on the field.
It's very true and I'm trying to
192
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,000
get to it here with the fumble
because that ball, that draft
193
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,880
started right.
We're at the Duke 14 yard line
194
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,760
with 47 seconds left, the 14
yard line and and pop, he
195
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,480
attempts to run the ball and he
he loses a couple proc calls a
196
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
timeout.
That's fine, no issue with the
197
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600
time out right there because he
gets hit behind the line.
198
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,160
People are going in, you bring
them back.
199
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,200
The issue was what you said,
what you said and what Rodney
200
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400
made to point out too.
They were as an experience, but
201
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,880
it's at the 14 yard line.
Why are you trying to run five
202
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,720
and seven steps drop, trying to
get people in the end zone, get
203
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,160
the ball in somebody's hands,
have two plays ready to go.
204
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,560
And Brian, I know you guys did
this at Sydney at times where
205
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040
y'all call a time out and you'd
have two plays.
206
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Hey, we're going hurry up as
soon as we hit the first one.
207
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400
We're going right to this one
regardless.
208
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,480
Again, I'm not getting paid
$1,000,000 When he comes out of
209
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840
that time out, it should have
been 2 plays in case we get
210
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,280
tackled inbounds, we can make a
quick snap and we can make the
211
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440
decision.
But instead it's a seven step
212
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040
drop, it's a sack.
Then it happens again.
213
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,320
We're at the 25 at that point in
time too.
214
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,680
So you sit here and again, it's
mismanagement of the game
215
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,880
because at the 25 yard line
through the math, 40 yard field
216
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240
goal, John Love tie ball game,
right?
217
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,600
Yeah, or or.
Down one point at halftime.
218
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,400
One point at halftime.
Yeah, so I, I, I pulled it up
219
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,200
the so that, that second down
play, they ran the ball and 2nd
220
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,880
down to yard loss called a
timeout.
221
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,400
They wanted to run a screen
pass, but it got blown up so
222
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,960
quickly because someone I think,
I think it was Kane and misses
223
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,440
block that got blown up right
away.
224
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,800
So you're back to the 27 and
then there's 28 seconds left and
225
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,120
counting and then you get blown
up.
226
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200
So I mean, maybe they should
have called.
227
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Well, actually, no, look at it,
man.
228
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,280
I don't I don't think pop had a
chance, honestly.
229
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,320
I just.
Well, the whole piece is well,
230
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,960
you, you, you mentioned they,
they blow up the screen pass
231
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,000
then then what?
You've got to basically go in
232
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Shelton to say, hey, listen,
it's the screen is not there on
233
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,800
2nd and 12.
Just kill the ball at the feet.
234
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,640
Just kill the ball at somebody's
feet.
235
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,120
We'll go third down.
It's the whole now try to find
236
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,280
the next play.
Well, likely that's the read.
237
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,440
And if they blew that up on a
screen, Brian, you know, from
238
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
playing offensive line all these
years and we can talk about it.
239
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Some people put in here the
offensive line playing like
240
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520
shit.
Not the whole game.
241
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Not the whole game.
It was a very up and down
242
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360
performance.
But but Brian, that screenplay
243
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,200
he's talking about, yeah, you
know that basically, you know
244
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,920
from playing, if that screen
does not work and it's not
245
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,960
there, you cannot hold the ball.
It should have been if the
246
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
screens not there, what do I do?
Throw it at somebody's fucking
247
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
feet foot.
At least at that point, even if
248
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,160
they call intentional grounding,
it's probably a three to four
249
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,200
yard loss.
And obviously too it would be
250
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,600
the clock would stop and either
you could do the 10 second
251
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,200
runoff which might have been if
I saw that situation.
252
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Yeah, I mean, it was it was it
was a common to your areas.
253
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,720
And like I said, it was it was a
combination in my opinion of
254
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,120
maybe bad situational plus
again, bad execution,
255
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920
inexperience from popping that
type of situation.
256
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,360
So there's just a lot of factors
at play there that really kind
257
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880
of, you know, helped helped us
screw the pooch.
258
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,720
And that's very important
situation in my opinion, because
259
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,200
you went from a, a, a, a spot
where the drive before, if you
260
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,320
could have finished that you're,
you know, you really fully
261
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,560
recaptured the momentum after a
disastrous 1st 5 plays on
262
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,680
defense.
Then you let them go back and
263
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,120
take the lead.
And then, you know, now you now
264
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,480
you're back again where you can
make it a one point game.
265
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920
You don't do it.
You end up getting the ball back
266
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800
and, and you kind of do the same
thing again there instead of,
267
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840
you know, trying to get a quick
play that might give you a
268
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,360
chance to, to, to, to at least
get one more field goal attempt
269
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,880
there to, to close out the half.
So to me it was just a a bad
270
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
sequence, those final really 3
possessions of the half for the
271
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Hokies on offense.
And effectively, those type
272
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880
things have been the undoing all
year of the Hokies.
273
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,600
Hokies fall to 5:00 and 6:00 on
the season.
274
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,320
And you know, it stinks.
That's the bad it stinks.
275
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080
I do want to point out that
there were a couple good moments
276
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,440
or not good moments, but good
individual performances in this
277
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,440
game And, and I'm going to call
out the first.
278
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160
We've called his name a couple
times for making errors, but
279
00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:02,240
overall with Pop Watson, I was,
I actually felt good because he
280
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,440
looked to be making quick reads.
You saw the elusiveness from him
281
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,680
and everybody can say well he
didn't look great and lead us to
282
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560
a win.
He played well enough to lead us
283
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,720
to a win if he had been put in a
couple more right situations.
284
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,920
Yeah, I mean we got a, you know,
I think when we look at the
285
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,160
performances we got also mention
Ollie Jennings coming out party
286
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,400
for 20/24.
It it took a while to get there,
287
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,640
but a, you know, we finally got
a big performance from Ollie
288
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,120
Jennings this year.
So good to see that and and
289
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,800
really showed a burst that I
don't really think we've seen
290
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960
for most of the most of the
season, especially on that that
291
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,000
touchdown where he kind of took
it, got up the alley and then
292
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
kind of finished it running over
the the tackler there near the
293
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,800
end zone.
About you showing anybody you
294
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,920
felt good about or you want to
give a kudos to, I mean.
295
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,280
We saw a little bit of Devin
Elvis at Safety Pride.
296
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Pride was complementary of them.
So I guess that'd be that'd be
297
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,320
one.
And again, I mean obviously the
298
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
entire D line I thought was
great and run defense so you
299
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,720
know cuz.
Yeah, I mean the the the the
300
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240
defensive line and the defense
in general from a, you know,
301
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,600
running run stopping situation
was was, you know, top notch all
302
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,040
game.
They they had a little bit of a
303
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,640
rough, rough drive there towards
the end.
304
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
They finally, you know, let a
couple runs get through there,
305
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,120
but for the most part, anytime
they tried to run, you know,
306
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,680
there, there wasn't really a
whole lot to be seen in terms of
307
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,640
extra yardage there.
So kudos to them.
308
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:46,120
It's just it's it's it's
frustrating that again, like
309
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,840
we're we're seeing this team get
beat in different ways every
310
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,240
week.
It's like we can't just circle
311
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,840
this is the problem.
This here is the problem because
312
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,440
it's something new every week.
And and that then that says
313
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
something that probably, you
know, hopefully a week and a
314
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,600
night we're discussing because
when you can't pinpoint one
315
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,200
problem, it probably means it's
multiple people and multiple
316
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,320
problems as we're discussing.
So, you know, we'll, we'll see
317
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,400
what happens basically over the
next couple weeks.
318
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:23,640
I want to give a shout out to
APR Did not report a sack that 1
319
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,680
1/2 tackles for loss, but you
could see him coming off the
320
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,120
edge.
They were ready for him and they
321
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,160
still could not stop the
pressure he created.
322
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
He got absolutely screwed out of
not being a finalist for the
323
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Lombardi award.
Absolutely screwed in my
324
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200
opinion.
Screwed.
325
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,240
If y'all didn't see that he was
not named a finalist.
326
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,160
It's a bunch of bullshit.
And somehow who else?
327
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Somebody else got left off the
Thorpe Oh Colorado guy Travis
328
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,400
Hunter got left off the Fort
today.
329
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,920
Finalist explain that one.
Anybody y'all got any
330
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600
explanations for either one of
those guys?
331
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:08,120
I mean, statistically he's the
best corner in the country and,
332
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
you know, probably a top 10 or
15 wide receiver.
333
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:20,080
And he did not get.
But you know, whatever, fuck us,
334
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320
right?
That's pretty much it right now.
335
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,440
All right, let's keep on going.
Anything y'all weren't prepared
336
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,400
for like.
Bombs, I mean, I wasn't prepared
337
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
for them to do have big plays in
the passing game.
338
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,160
I was not prepared for that.
I I knew there was potential
339
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,360
there, but we had been pretty
sound about not allowing those
340
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
the the big long ones all year,
even when, when those are
341
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,320
busted, usually it was kind of
underneath and there was a
342
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,720
missed tackle or over over
pursued or, you know, something
343
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,400
like that that was causing the
play itself to happen.
344
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Not necessarily, you know, just
getting, getting beat deep
345
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,480
slipping, things like that.
We hadn't had a ton of those all
346
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,760
year.
So it was really disappointing
347
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040
that for that to happen in this
game.
348
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Showing anything you weren't.
Yeah, I, I, I was, I mean, same
349
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,920
with Bryan.
Obviously the big passing plays
350
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,120
because it's not exactly Duke's
strong suit, but I was a little
351
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,440
surprised pleasantly with how
well the offense moved the ball
352
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,960
considering the circumstances.
I mean, you got down to pop
353
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,360
Watson, you know, your third and
quarterback.
354
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,440
I thought he he was looking
pretty good on some of those RPO
355
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000
slants, like he could hit them
and and Malik for, for Duke was
356
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,160
missing.
Like, I mean, he could barely
357
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,360
hit those, those ways.
And I know we had a few, a few
358
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560
good deep balls and he's good
throwing deep balls, but in
359
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
those intermediate range, I, I
didn't think he was very
360
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,560
accurate.
Pop looked really good on some
361
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,360
of those intermediate passes.
So I was, I was very pleasantly
362
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,640
surprised by that.
Yeah, this, this is another one.
363
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
My only thought with that is
that, you know, you go from
364
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,880
Schlee to Pop Watson and maybe
some of those snaps that you
365
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,280
were going to get a Aurora guy
in a wide receiver.
366
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Now you may keep your veterans
in a little bit more because
367
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,760
you're working with a raw and
inexperienced quarterback
368
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,400
though.
So that's my only guess there.
369
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,720
Anybody that knows different can
feel free to chime in there, but
370
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,040
that's my guess.
Yeah, there's nobody knows what
371
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,680
did didn't happen that I was
prepared for.
372
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840
It's it's it's it's tough for
me.
373
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:36,440
I go to probably I wasn't
prepared to see Basil Tune play
374
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:42,920
the way he played because him
coming off the injury he at
375
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,960
times look like the basal.
We know the cuts, the burst he
376
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,920
got over 1000 which kudos to him
on that.
377
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,200
I'm so glad he got 1000 yards
first since Filio Harvard back
378
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,240
in 2020 during the COVID season
1 a lot that you know no one
379
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,920
actually saw in Lane Stadium
which sucks but he deserved it
380
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,960
from getting basically COVID
screwing and probably out of AD
381
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,880
one offer last year.
The way things broke probably
382
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,200
more earlier in the season where
he could have had it then, but I
383
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,960
was pleasantly surprised that he
looked as good as he did.
384
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,720
And I also loved his statement
today.
385
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,040
I don't know if you saw it in
the presser about I'm here to
386
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
play, I'm going to go ahead and
say something.
387
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,960
Running backs, every NFL coach,
wherever he was, he just went up
388
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,240
32 spots on their boards
wherever he was.
389
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Because if you ever hear about
like NFL, I'm a Niners fan, they
390
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,160
always talk about it.
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan,
391
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,320
You have to love football to be
here.
392
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,040
You can't love money, you can't
love hype.
393
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840
You can't love success.
You have to love the actual
394
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
game.
When I heard him say that,
395
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,040
there's a bunch of people saying
where is he?
396
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,920
Move him up the next round, why
he loves the game.
397
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280
We're going to see him Saturday
one last time in Lane Stadium.
398
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,160
All righty, to the last point
here, we always hit then what
399
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,920
can we do better moving forward?
Is this where you wanted to to
400
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,520
throw the bomb in there?
Shelton?
401
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,920
What can we do better moving
forward because saw how much
402
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,600
coach discord we're going to get
tonight.
403
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,120
I mean, win close games, I guess
I don't, I don't really know
404
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:26,840
what what what other solution
there is like the teams play,
405
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,040
you know, mostly pretty well.
I mean, they put themselves in
406
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,760
good spots and they just can't
get out of the hump.
407
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,160
So I was researching this last
night because I saw a stat that
408
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:41,080
was somewhat related to it.
So last 20 years this year
409
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,840
Virginia Tech has a point
differential of plus 5.7 against
410
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,800
FBS team.
So they're they're weighing
411
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,440
their games on average by 5.7
points against the FBS.
412
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,240
That is the second highest point
differential for a team with a
413
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,800
losing record in the last 20
years.
414
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,120
Only other team with a higher
point differential with a losing
415
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:01,600
record was Georgia back in 2010.
So just kind of put some
416
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,880
perspective to you just how much
this team has underperformed.
417
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
And I know, you know, we talk a
lot about the coaching and you
418
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,240
know, where we've kind of come
up short and the coordinators
419
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,720
and so forth.
But like, I don't think the play
420
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,360
in the field has been as bad as
people think.
421
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:19,320
I just think the the complete
and utter inability to to
422
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,360
capitalize in those crunch
situations and just eventually,
423
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,240
you know, find your way on top
of a close game.
424
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,960
It's just something that's been
really unprecedented.
425
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,800
I mean, we've we've seen the
data like probably has the worst
426
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,280
record in once we're games for
any coach the last 20 years with
427
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,000
at least 10 games.
So I just, I don't know, I mean,
428
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,520
I'm kind of out of venture at
this point, honestly.
429
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Like just win, find a way to win
plus game.
430
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,040
Like there's really nothing else
that needs to be said.
431
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Yeah, you've lost six games by a
combined 34 points.
432
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,680
That's I mean that that that's
what it is.
433
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,960
You know, you're talking about
that's that's less.
434
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,000
You're not.
Getting blown out.
435
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,000
That's less than a touchdown per
game.
436
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,320
Only one of them has been A2
score situation, all the other
437
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,960
ones have been one score contest
so.
438
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,760
And that was a one score
contest.
439
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,200
For how long?
Most of the damn game game.
440
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,120
So I mean it, it's, it's one of
those so close, but so fucking
441
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:22,640
far away situations of like
you're, you're there to you're,
442
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,440
you're putting yourself in a
position where you could be
443
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,480
considered a good team, but you
are not closing the deal with
444
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,240
any sort of regularity.
When, when things are tight,
445
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,240
when things get tough, when,
when teams put pressure on you
446
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,960
in the final two minutes of a
game, when teams put pressure on
447
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,120
you in the final quarter of a
game, you've done a good job of
448
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,640
counter punching.
When, when teams come out quick,
449
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,640
you, you've had an answer.
When teams have hit you with
450
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,000
that inevitable third quarter
debacle, you've had an answer,
451
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,960
but you haven't been able to
close the deal when it mattered,
452
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,280
and that's a problem.
Yeah, put what Robbie just said
453
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,640
up there, you have to learn how
to win now and close the games.
454
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,680
And the question now goes, and
this is, I know we've said it a
455
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,360
lot and people in there put up
gems as well because it's it
456
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:21,920
goes back to this.
The question is, I'll give the
457
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,800
benefit of the doubt to a head
coach because if we talk about
458
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840
the way the talents changed on
the field in the last three
459
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:34,280
years, the the also the, the
analysis and the reviewing of
460
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,120
the talent in the portal and the
guys they're bringing in from,
461
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,600
you know, the recruiting ranks
in high school.
462
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,960
This staff's done that right?
You want to argue with me all
463
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,680
you want.
Colin Schley didn't look out of
464
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,080
place.
Pop Watson didn't look out of
465
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,640
place.
Drones, when he has been
466
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,520
healthy, has looked fine.
Facial tootin looked good.
467
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,360
Think of some of the younger
offensive lineman who are
468
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,800
working their way and they've
looked good.
469
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560
That's what's irritating.
That's what's irritating more
470
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200
than anything.
Because in 2021, the games we
471
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,640
lost, I could point and say
we're not as talented here.
472
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,640
We're not as talented here.
And and if you ask me what's
473
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,200
more frustrating, well, this is
more frustrating than that
474
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,520
because at least there I could
say we just don't have the
475
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,560
horses to keep up.
Now I get to sit here and say we
476
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,360
have the horses, we can play
with any fucking body in the
477
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,200
country and we've seen that.
We just ain't pressing the right
478
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,600
buttons.
Yeah.
479
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,400
I mean, you, you played, you
played with Miami, you played
480
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,480
with Clemson.
And then you kind of play down
481
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,240
to a Duke, you play down to a
Syracuse.
482
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600
And I mean, I understand you're
playing with backup quarterbacks
483
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,760
in both of those games, but
those are games you needed to
484
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,520
have to to put a stamp on the
season and feel pretty good
485
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,640
about it, especially the way you
started off with the Vanderbilt
486
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,480
and the Rutgers loss.
We needed to win those games.
487
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Perception wise.
You need to show that you can
488
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,240
close the deal against middling
ACC competitions regardless of
489
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
whether you got your starting
quarterback in there or not,
490
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,920
because you put yourself in
position Despite that.
491
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,880
To win those games, you got to
win them.
492
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Sean, One last thing to close
out this segment.
493
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,200
I mean, I don't know, I, I kind
of talked about it last week for
494
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,640
the key play, you know, it's
just, it's been a pretty average
495
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,160
step so far.
I feel like I don't think it's
496
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,400
been bad.
I don't think it's been great
497
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,240
either.
You know, I don't think the
498
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Sky's falling, but I just, I
think one of the things that
499
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,880
makes it hard to sort of analyze
what the problem is, is that I
500
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,240
think the, the issues with this
team are so vague and amorphous
501
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,240
and, and poorly defined that I
don't really know exactly where
502
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,160
to start.
Like I don't know who to
503
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,280
scapegoat statistically.
Is it the offensive defense?
504
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000
I don't know.
Could it be some of the
505
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
assistants?
Maybe.
506
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,080
But like, what's, I mean, like
what's the main issue?
507
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,640
I just don't know if there's one
thing you can put in.
508
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,560
So like we are terrible at that.
And if we fix that, then boom,
509
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,640
we're good.
It's like, it's kind of like
510
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920
collectively every, everybody's
just been average and I don't
511
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920
know how you fix average.
Yeah.
512
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,160
And I, I, I think I'll, I'll
tell this, I'll, I'll say this.
513
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,160
I think, I think we're, we're,
we're seeing that amorphous
514
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840
situation is coming from just
the general inexperience of the
515
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,400
people that are making the high
level decisions for the program
516
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600
right now.
And that's why you're seeing
517
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,840
different things, different
weeks because that that
518
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,160
inexperience, I think is
starting to stack up as we get
519
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200
into, we get expectations
attached to us.
520
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,600
We get these situations where
we're in these tight contest,
521
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400
you know, these these
coordinators haven't seen these
522
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,160
situations with enough frequency
when it's their decision that is
523
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,720
going to make or break that
moment potentially it and it's
524
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,800
like it's it's a combination of
of not seeing that, but also, I
525
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,600
think it at times either not
understanding the strengths and
526
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,000
weaknesses in a given moment of
your team and not leaning on the
527
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,320
strengths that you have in your
running game at key moments in
528
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,880
the game and thinking, I need
yards, I'm just going to drop
529
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,920
back and and and see what
happens here.
530
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,200
I think sometimes, you know, on
offense, Bowen sometimes
531
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,720
overthinks and then I think
sometimes on defense you get a
532
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,480
little bit of that that we do,
we do mindset and and that can
533
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,680
burn you in the end as well.
I'm going to just close it with
534
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:44,080
this right here.
So let's let's talk about the
535
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
the poll we put out there.
Oh yeah.
536
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,720
All right, so we put out a poll.
We're basically saying, you know
537
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,080
what is happening in the season
we got move on from Brent Pry,
538
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,200
move on from your OC and DC.
You know, it could be either,
539
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560
could be either, or it could be
one of the other, could be both
540
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,120
or something else.
And we put that out there.
541
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,960
So 75% of you think that one or
both of the coordinators need to
542
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,720
go.
The other 25% were basically a
543
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,160
combination of either move on
from pry or essentially all the
544
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,920
other statements were basically
dumped the entire athletic
545
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,520
department down the toilet and
start over from scratch.
546
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,320
So some, some variation of fire
wit, which is going to have a
547
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,120
trickle down effect through
football, right?
548
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,160
So 75% are just on the
coordinator wagon.
549
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Another 25% are basically some
some version of moving on from
550
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Brent Prize.
So that's kind of the rundown
551
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,320
of, you know, over 700 folks
that that that that clicked on
552
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,680
that that poll there.
So do with that what you will.
553
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Well, do with that, which you
will and you know, I think I
554
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,280
think it's where as I was
talking to a family member on a
555
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Saturday, they pay attention a
little bit to football.
556
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Not crazy, but I was like him as
that marketing, the guy who glad
557
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,760
hands people who's going to talk
to everybody at the party got it
558
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,120
down pat him as a face.
I know some people get tired of
559
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,320
the coach stick.
I still think his stick's better
560
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,640
than Fuente because he will a
lot of times, and we've heard
561
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,240
this from day one, he a lot of
times will say we as coaches
562
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,880
specifically on certain points.
If you all remember Brian, we
563
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,120
sat here, I believe a little bit
drunk a couple years ago and
564
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,160
said Fuente will never ever.
He always says wee, wee, wee.
565
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Say execution one more time,
motherfucker.
566
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Who?
Would never say coaches.
567
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,880
That is the one.
It's still a breath of fresh.
568
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720
I know some pisses, some people
awful.
569
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,440
What can you do?
And it's like, well, at least
570
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680
he's admitting that as a
coaching staff, they have to be
571
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,960
better.
He's not sitting here saying we,
572
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,760
we, what the fuck's we?
Is we all of us, the whole
573
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,720
fucking team?
The Royal we.
574
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
So there we go.
All right, so let's take a quick
575
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,120
little break here.
What I'm stepping on.
576
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,159
And as always, we are brought to
you by the Count Family
577
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,120
Pharmacy, your friendly
neighborhood pharmacy, 301 S
578
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:20,320
Main St. in Blacksburg.
And obviously it is hate week.
579
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,880
This week we do not have a
guest, so we are going to be
580
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,600
getting into some of the UVA
Cavaliers players here.
581
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Obviously they are currently led
by Tony Elliott, also in his
582
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,639
third season.
A significantly bigger or win or
583
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,400
significantly worse win loss
record than Brent Prockey's also
584
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,560
coming in five and six.
They're five and six, right?
585
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,639
I didn't.
I didn't fucking make that up in
586
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,639
my head for.
That we're we're both playing
587
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,679
for bowl eligibility.
The story of the Commonwealth
588
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:56,920
Cup over the last 10 years. 10
plus man, going back to the end
589
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,320
of end of beamer there. 2012, Oh
no, 10 years, 2014, man, that
590
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,840
was one of those years.
But we are going to talk about
591
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,240
them tonight.
And obviously, Brian, I believe
592
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,160
that you wanted to start on the
defensive side of the ball, a
593
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:19,840
little bit behind their
defensive setup, defensive
594
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,760
scheme.
Yeah, yeah.
595
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,800
I mean, this is a a multiple
formation kind of they you have
596
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,280
a three, four base, but they'll
run multiple fronts.
597
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,240
You know, you'll see them come
out of four two, you'll see them
598
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,680
come out of 3433 stack.
They'll run a lot of different,
599
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,520
different looks at you different
fronts.
600
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,680
So expect that, you know,
they've got their hybrid outside
601
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,760
linebacker DN and then they got
a hybrid kind of safety
602
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,360
linebacker there.
So they can kind of move guys
603
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,240
around, give you a little bit of
a different look depending on
604
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,560
how they want to attack you.
So expect that it's going to be
605
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,440
very interesting to, you know,
prepare for that from an
606
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,920
offensive line standpoint with
having different fronts pretty
607
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640
regularly.
So we'll see if they come out
608
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,280
and stick with mostly a 3A3 man
front or if they kind of mix in,
609
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,120
you know, four man with with any
regularity.
610
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:15,240
Yep.
And if y'all are wondering,
611
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,360
they're LED.
That's led by John Rozinski.
612
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,520
He's the guy that came over from
Air Force with them and as far
613
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,000
as it goes for this year,
they're ranked well in the
614
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,800
bottom half.
Shelton, if you have that
615
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,120
number, I have a very big number
here I want to give out.
616
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,360
They give up on average 5 point
yarn yards per play.
617
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,040
I do not have where they rank,
but Shelton, if you've got that
618
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,080
or any info you want to lay on
about their defense from a
619
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,320
statistical perspective before
we look at the players.
620
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,160
Yeah, I'm looking it up right
here.
621
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,160
I've got so 400, four, 119 yards
per game averages their average
622
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,600
for FBS opponents, and that also
translate to six yards per play
623
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,520
against FBS, which ranks 91st in
the country.
624
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,760
So not good.
That's that's low, low, low.
625
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
So Brian, let's talk about a
couple of the players Shelter,
626
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,640
you got any all these players
just chime in when you want to
627
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,920
my man.
Let's talk about kind of the guy
628
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560
you threw on here.
We'll talk about Jonas Sanker.
629
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:26,760
The six foot 293 LB safety three
star when he came out, actually
630
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,960
went right from hometown there,
went to the Covenant School down
631
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,640
in Charlottesville.
And so far this season, you
632
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,800
know, we're taking a look at
his, you know, statistics.
633
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,360
He is leading the team and not
only solo tackles, but also
634
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,040
total tackles at 89.
And Brian, just kind of looking
635
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,120
at real quick what you see, what
do you like from Sanker?
636
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:55,840
Yeah, I mean, he's a, he's a guy
that has really good activity as
637
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,960
a run defender coming from that,
you know, back part of the
638
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,960
formation there, really good
instincts, good tackler.
639
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,560
You know, probably not the
fastest kid that you'll see from
640
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,920
the secondary perspective, but
he can still make cover, good
641
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,880
ground there.
Not really great in coverage,
642
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,600
really just an average coverage.
But in terms of run stopping
643
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040
from a safety position position,
he does a really good job with
644
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,600
that.
Showing anything on Sanker grade
645
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,360
wise, data wise, statistics wise
you like or are interested?
646
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,680
No, I can.
I'll give you a second look at
647
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,560
that.
I can circle back all.
648
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,880
Right.
We'll circle back on Sanker
649
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,800
there.
The other guy I wanted to talk
650
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,320
about was a guy a lot of people
thought that might be in
651
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,120
Blacksburg after after he when
he came out, which in the 2023
652
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,680
passes.
Cam Robinson 4 star out of
653
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Tappahannock just down the just
down 360 here E heading towards
654
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,880
the coast.
Essex High School, pretty big
655
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,400
time recruit when he came out a
top ten player in the state and
656
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,960
obviously he's already getting
it done, you know, you know,
657
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,720
just in his second year there.
Brian, what do you like about
658
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:15,520
him?
Maybe some weaknesses?
659
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,760
Yeah, I mean, he's really kind
of settled in really quick at
660
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:28,360
the mic position for for UVA
really kind of came in and and
661
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,160
and out the gate was a was a
difference maker on that
662
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,120
linebacker unit and continues to
be.
663
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,960
He's been banged up the last
last couple weeks here, so he
664
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,200
hasn't seen as much action, but
we'll see if he's going to be
665
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,160
fully healthy this go.
But it looks like he is at the
666
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,560
top of the depth chart this week
for the Cavaliers.
667
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
So expect to get him in heavy
doses.
668
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,920
And I mean, he's a guy that's
going to give you a lot of fits.
669
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:55,520
Does a really good job against
the run.
670
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,920
Yeah, really good athlete.
Matches up well when he's in
671
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:05,120
coverage responsibilities.
Probably a little bit weaker in
672
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,880
zone coverage than he is, you
know, covering guys man to man,
673
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,000
but.
He's he's, he's probably the, to
674
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,640
me at least, you know, looking
top to bottom, probably the
675
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,280
scariest player on their defense
just because of what we do well
676
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,320
and, and, and what he does well.
Jill.
677
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,280
You're on mute again, bud.
Can y'all hear me?
678
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Yep, we got you.
One moment.
679
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,400
Can you hear us?
I got you.
680
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,800
I can hear you now.
I can hear you now, Sean.
681
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:46,440
You got anything right now?
Yeah, just looking at some of UV
682
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,440
as advanced sets in the in the
advanced sets column, a lot of
683
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,440
red, which is bad.
You don't want you don't want
684
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:57,280
red 102nd offensive success
rate, 119 drop back success
685
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,760
rate.
So their passing game's been,
686
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,680
you know, been extremely
inefficient and then you know,
687
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,040
defense 58th.
So a little bit better there,
688
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,200
but they just haven't really
converted drives.
689
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,120
But that's been a big sore spot
for them.
690
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,480
Third down success pretty bad
200 and 3rd and 3rd and 4th down
691
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,200
conversion rate.
So across the board, man, it's
692
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,560
been it's been a rough year for
the Wahoos.
693
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,720
It's not a lot to really look at
positively if you're a UVA fan
694
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,760
all.
Right, except they're five and
695
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,320
six.
Somehow that's the only positive
696
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,040
they have is they're fucking
5:00 and 6:00.
697
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Look at the front half of their
schedule.
698
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,480
Homie Oh it was awful.
I mean, we haven't had anything
699
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,680
to write home about, but the
front half of their schedule was
700
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:42,000
dog shit and we looked at it and
were like get to the back half
701
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,520
of the schedule and you will be
lucky to see one more.
702
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,640
They got it.
They.
703
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Got it.
Which completely shocked me real
704
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,880
quick about the importance of
Cam Robinson here, because even
705
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,480
though they ranked way, way
down, as Shelton mentioned in
706
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:03,640
the total defense in that yard
per play, their run defense is
707
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,800
middle of the pack.
So Cam Robinson playing Saturday
708
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,080
is probably a huge key to that
because they ranked 57th in the
709
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,480
country when it comes to that.
So definitely going to be key if
710
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,400
he goes Saturday night.
Brian, you had one more guy you
711
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,760
wanted to talk about.
Who was that?
712
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,960
Yeah, that's our defensive end,
Cam Butler.
713
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:30,280
You know, just looking at what
we do poorly, we struggle at
714
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,320
times to protect the the passer,
especially when you potentially
715
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,160
might have Pop Watson in there
at quarterback.
716
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Somebody with that inexperience,
you know, we saw that on a
717
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,840
couple times against Duke become
a big problem.
718
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,040
So we're going to need some
consistent offensive line play
719
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,360
when when we pair that with, you
know, potentially starting our
720
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,320
third string quarterback in this
game.
721
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,480
So we'll see if Schlee can go
with the, you know, concussion.
722
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,720
We know that that Kyron's
probably going to be missing
723
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,840
this game as well.
So we're probably going to be
724
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,920
counted on at least our second,
if not our third string
725
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,600
quarterback here.
So it's going to be important to
726
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,320
protect that person.
And you know, Cam Butler does
727
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,320
not not he's not an excellent
rusher, but he is a guy that is
728
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,520
consistent and has a motor.
So we've got to be consistent
729
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,520
with our with our protection
throughout the game.
730
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,880
And obviously going back to the
Duke game, probably a night that
731
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,480
whole offensive line wants to
remember giving up seven sacks,
732
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,960
14 1/2 tackles for loss.
So something not good.
733
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,320
And you know, like, you know,
Shelton said they're about their
734
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,880
drop back success rate, not that
good.
735
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,720
So there is going to be some
opportunities there.
736
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
But always keep an eye on that.
Cam Butler, Shelton, anything
737
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,400
else before we jump over to the
offensive side of the ball?
738
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,920
Yeah, I did look up the numbers
for Yonah Sankar.
739
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,320
There's safety.
PFF is pretty average on him,
740
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,720
maybe a little bit below
average, but he does have 6
741
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,160
quarterback pressures this
season, which is tied for ninth
742
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080
most among ACC defensive backs.
So I don't know how often they
743
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,840
bring them and pressure
situations, but you know, he's
744
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,320
done a decent job of getting
there at least.
745
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,240
And then, you know, in coverage
he's been targeted a decent
746
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,840
mountain and you know, teams
have had success against him. 3
747
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,400
touchdowns given up in coverage
for PFF so you know they've been
748
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,200
able to get to him.
But yeah, I just think overall
749
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,360
UVA for the most part has kind
of struggled defensively,
750
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,280
particularly in the secondary
run.
751
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,120
Demons has been OK overall
pretty solid, but their
752
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,440
secondary has been some some
burnt toast this season.
753
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,840
All righty.
Let's hope we can take advantage
754
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,960
of that on Saturday.
Let's flip over to the offensive
755
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,640
side of the ball that's led by
Dez Kitchen Brown.
756
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,720
What does he like to do on
offense?
757
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,600
It's a it's a wide zone offense.
You know, he's been trying to
758
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,240
get to it I think for a while.
I think they're starting to have
759
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:53,320
a little bit more success with
the running game this year than
760
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,960
they have necessarily.
I think the last two years.
761
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:01,520
It it it's an offense that it's
kind of predicated on being able
762
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,400
to run the ball so they can set
up some of those throws
763
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,840
downfield that that is kind of
their bread and butter when they
764
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,280
do get into a rhythm is throwing
the football down the field a
765
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,320
little bit off of play action
and things like that.
766
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,960
So obviously LED, you know,
Calandria quarterback, we've
767
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,280
seen Musk get in there at from
time to time.
768
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,840
I think there's a little bit of
a quarterback controversy kind
769
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,640
of brewing there.
I don't know how much to make of
770
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,000
that just because you know,
muskets out of eligibility
771
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,680
beyond this year.
So that's that's something to
772
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,440
watch.
We'll see how much of musket we
773
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,160
see Saturday compared to
Calandria.
774
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,520
But you know, when we look at
Calandria, he's a guy that I I
775
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,080
think is as as much as we want
to give Kyron the the sophomore
776
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,960
slump here.
I mean, here's a guy that that's
777
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:58,480
really hit the the sophomore
wall very fucking hard this
778
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,960
year.
You know, when we looked at him
779
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,480
playing last year, you, you saw
a lot of like, you know, the,
780
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,720
the ceiling was there.
You can see what the ceiling
781
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,840
looked like, You know, when he
came, you know, came to throwing
782
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,280
the ball down feel a lot, very
average in those intermediate
783
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,720
areas.
But he was, he was driving the
784
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,280
ball down feel pretty
effectively.
785
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,440
We haven't seen a whole lot of
that success this year, success
786
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,600
down the field much lower than
last year.
787
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,600
And he's the guy that's going to
he'll he'll put the ball in
788
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,080
danger from time to time as
well.
789
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,000
So we're going to have some
opportunities, again, just like
790
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,320
we had against Duke, to get some
picks here, turn those into some
791
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,160
points.
All right, anything on Calandria
792
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,920
to write home about Shelton?
Yeah, So apropos what Brian was
793
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,720
saying, actually PFF grades him
as the second worst quarterback
794
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,720
on intermediate throws this
season.
795
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,480
He has been very inefficient
there.
796
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,520
And they don't they don't throw
it a ton of intermediate.
797
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,840
But yeah, he's he's trying a lot
there.
798
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,000
He's also been pressured I
believe 152 times this season,
799
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,480
which is fourth most among all
Power 4 quarterbacks.
800
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,280
So maybe that's gotten a little
bit in his head.
801
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,680
I'm sure that's probably
impacted his performance to some
802
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,120
degree.
But you know, teams have a
803
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,960
pretty easy time getting into
them.
804
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,760
And you know, UVA typically in
terms of their passing
805
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,560
structure, they they
disproportionately go behind
806
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,560
line of scrimmage and short
throws a little bit more.
807
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,080
So you probably see that more so
than, you know, deep shots just
808
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,080
because they've been, they've
been so ineffective and
809
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,440
intermediate and deep throws.
I wanted you to bring up what
810
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,440
Josh brought up here just so
everybody can kind of know that
811
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,320
obviously if y'all are paying
attention.
812
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:38,120
Hey Josh, yes, first of all,
their second leading rusher,
813
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,800
Xavier Brown, he's out the rest
of the season.
814
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,080
So we will not see Xavier Brown,
who has been averaging 6.1 for
815
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,400
attempts.
He was right under 500 yards for
816
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,080
the year along with three total
touchdowns.
817
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:58,080
Also 14.1 through the air.
Co pace, Co pace, Kobe pace also
818
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,240
hurt.
They will not know a lot on him
819
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:03,800
until the end of the year or
excuse me, the end of the week.
820
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,440
So not looking good there as
well.
821
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,400
And I know Brian, you, you kind
of made a little point here.
822
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,880
You wanted to mention him
because he could potentially
823
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,720
show up.
Yeah, I mean, if he shows up,
824
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:19,640
he's going to be the guy that
that's going to have set the
825
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,000
pace for them.
He kind of has to in that sense
826
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,240
because he is their leading guy.
And if you're talking about
827
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:34,760
going down, I believe Noah
Vaughn, too, is going to be the
828
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,520
next guy up.
He is a sophomore and in seven
829
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,880
games he has 30 carries.
And you just kind of rubber
830
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,560
stamp what I was saying earlier
here, Robbie.
831
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,120
You know, knowing Kitchens a
little bit more there, if the
832
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,000
wide zone is not successful,
they're going to struggle.
833
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,880
Everything in the offense kind
of builds off the success of
834
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,600
that play.
So if they're struggling there,
835
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,000
it's going to be a trickle down
effect.
836
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,680
And we saw that against SMU.
We saw it against some other
837
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,320
teams as as well, so.
Hey.
838
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,880
Hey Shelton, your pressure rate
thing is absolutely on par with
839
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:11,000
how they do.
Statistically, they are 132 of
840
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,560
133 and sacks allowed.
They almost don't give up four
841
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,920
sacks per game.
So Shelton mentioned pressure
842
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,400
rates.
Not only are they getting
843
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,640
pressure, teams are finishing
them off as well when it comes
844
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,680
to that.
Couple more folks to talk about
845
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,040
here, Bryant, I know that you
wanted to hit up Malachi Fields,
846
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,000
who obviously is their key guy
when it comes to passing the
847
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,360
ball.
Shelton, I'll let you get the
848
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,800
data up here, but just Ron, what
are you seeing on the tape?
849
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,920
And then Shelton, if you get a
chance, let's talk about some of
850
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:46,200
where he's what he's good at.
Yeah.
851
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,520
I mean, he's their primary
threat down the field, good at
852
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,600
high pointing the ball, making
catches in traffic.
853
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,920
So he's going to be the guy
that's going to be kind of the
854
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,960
beginning and end of their big
play potential.
855
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,760
You know, there's some a couple
other guys out there that have
856
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,800
you've done some things here and
there, but really it kind of
857
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,320
starts and ends with what
Malachi feels has been doing.
858
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,520
Also to note, Trell Harris
hasn't been available most of
859
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,200
the year.
Looks like he is going to be
860
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,920
available.
He's kind of a very yeah,
861
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,080
specific use receiver kind of on
the younger end there, but he is
862
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,520
a guy that is a red zone threat.
So, you know, keep an eye on him
863
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,560
from that perspective,
especially with him coming back.
864
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,320
There's a couple other guys, you
know, like Andre Green and and
865
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,640
Chris Tyree that are out there,
but they haven't been the
866
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,760
factors I think that Eva thought
they were going to be this year.
867
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,400
Poor Chris Tyree.
Yeah, it it's, you know, talk
868
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,120
about somebody that, yeah, at
least Notre Dame was utilizing
869
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:48,160
him as a as a gadget type
player.
870
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,800
Whether we're out of the
backfield or at a true wide
871
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,920
receiver spot, UVA really has
not maximized his potential at
872
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,040
all.
It's really kind of beginning in
873
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,400
with Malachi Fields from a wide
receiver perspective.
874
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,040
We got another guy that we'll
talk about a little bit too that
875
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,840
kind of supplements that.
Yeah, but.
876
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,120
Let's go back to Chris Tyree for
a second because Chris Tyree at
877
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,440
Notre Dame basically three years
thousand plus rushing yards add
878
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,880
another 400 in the past in three
years also was a legit kick
879
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:23,240
return specialist and everything
just went this way.
880
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:27,960
And if y'all remember when he
came out, Chris, when Chris
881
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,320
Tyree came out, I mean, Chris
Tyree was like was like a top
882
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,760
150 player that went to Notre
Dame from Elsie Byrd down here
883
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,040
in Richmond.
And when he went to Notre Dame
884
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,360
and you saw the production, it's
like, well, they can't do
885
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,520
everything with him, but it's
like he's building his skill set
886
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,440
to basically he has a chance to
go to the next level.
887
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,240
He's submarine that this year
and what he's done at EBA.
888
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,320
And it sucks.
It sucks for him because he was
889
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,080
a hell of an athlete.
I can't remember, did he win
890
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,720
back in 2019?
I felt like maybe he was the
891
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:04,800
prep player of the Year, Jeff,
and I know you were doing some
892
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,360
stuff with RTV back then.
Was he Prep Player of the Year
893
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,240
back in 2019?
Actually done 20/19 was before
894
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,200
my time.
I don't know, but but yeah, I've
895
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,920
actually, I would actually, I
have a slightly different take.
896
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,280
I, I think his production in
Notre Dame was a little bit of a
897
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,360
red flag because he averaged
less yards per carry in 2022
898
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,600
than Keyshawn King did behind
that Notre Dame online.
899
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,400
So I, I think it was more a case
of like this guy was not quite
900
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,440
living up to the potential that
maybe some people, you know,
901
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:36,280
thought, thought he did goes to
UVA, you know, just doesn't
902
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,120
really produce, you know, he's
one of the lowest rated guys on
903
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,560
PFF.
Andre Green, another guy that
904
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,240
went to UNC, came back to UVA
and also is not produced.
905
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:47,880
So what what does that say about
some Virginia's skill guys?
906
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,000
I don't know, but maybe that's a
conversation for another day.
907
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,600
Another day, were you able to
find anything on Malachi fields?
908
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,920
Yeah, he's been pretty solid
this year overall.
909
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:03,280
PFF likes him as the number 4
graded receiver in the ACC yards
910
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,360
per catch, not eye popping, but
you know, pretty solid and
911
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,960
average average chef at the
target about 12 yards.
912
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,360
So a little bit more
intermediate, not not too much,
913
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,640
you know, going deep a lot.
But he's he's definitely been, I
914
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,840
would say, you know, their most
productive overall wide
915
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,040
receiver, not that, you know,
the competition is particularly
916
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,920
stiff, but he's kind of the one
guy you want to watch out for
917
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,280
the most.
What a subtle, backhanded
918
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:34,560
comments.
Oh, my God, that's great if you
919
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,920
didn't catch it.
The wide receiver, he's a good
920
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,160
wide receiver, but the
competition he's playing with is
921
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,840
not that stiff.
That's the why is the only
922
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,000
reason he's looking good, per
Shelton Moss.
923
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,680
All right, Brian, one more guy.
Let's hit him up.
924
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,160
Let's talk about Tyler Neville,
the tight end.
925
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,280
What you got on him?
Yeah.
926
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,640
I mean, when we talk about the
other competition not standing
927
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,680
up, I mean, Neville is what, the
number 2 receiver on this team
928
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,640
at tight end position.
So that tells you a little bit
929
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,840
about what's going on, on the
UVA side of things there.
930
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,680
And he's really their kind of
outlet guy.
931
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,640
He's the guy that's going to
help them move the sticks and
932
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,080
and keep the drive matriculating
down the field there.
933
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,280
There's a definitely big safety
valve for Calandria or Musket,
934
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,440
whoever we see.
Again, I'm still expecting
935
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,640
Calandria, but who the fuck
knows at this point.
936
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,560
I've heard that there's some
some locker room drama going on
937
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,360
with that situation.
So we'll see how that plays out
938
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,320
and what effect that that's had
on, you know, the output that
939
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,880
this team has had in the back
half of the schedule.
940
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,880
But now, I mean, Neville's kind
of very, very balanced guy, but
941
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,440
he also is is very effective in
the passing game, which I think
942
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,320
is where he's going to probably
serve the biggest purpose in
943
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,000
this game all.
Righty, so there's kind of a
944
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,600
quick look at the Virginia side
of the ball.
945
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:57,280
I'm going to make this real one
last real quick kind of
946
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,000
comparison before we get into
our keys and everything.
947
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,080
So I, I, I always keep up.
I'm a total offense guy, not
948
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,520
scoring.
I always, I, I love to lean on
949
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:13,040
Shelton for the deeper metrics,
but somehow there are two, five
950
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,800
and six teams meeting Saturday
and somehow, even though as bad
951
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:22,440
as their offensive line is, they
are just one, one position
952
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,000
behind the Hokies in total
offense.
953
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,080
Total offense for the Hokies is
84th.
954
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,680
UVA is 85th.
So just put that on there and
955
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,200
let's get to the keys of the
game here.
956
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,120
Shelton.
I'll let you Mull over a second.
957
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:39,680
Brian, what's your key to this
game?
958
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,080
The key to this game is keep the
damn cup at all cost.
959
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,600
You know, I think when we look
at the importance of this from a
960
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,800
long term perspective, I I think
getting the extra practices in
961
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,560
for a bowl is important for this
team because it is it's a team
962
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,480
that is both very young and,
and, and very experienced at the
963
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,760
same time.
So you got a lot of players that
964
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,480
are out of eligibility and then
you got a lot of sophomores and
965
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,280
freshmen that are seeing some
significant snaps.
966
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,760
So I think getting those guys
some extra snaps, whether it is
967
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,080
helping with potential draft
stock for the guys that are
968
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,560
running out of eligibility, that
are going to be draft eligible
969
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,200
or want to be draft eligible.
And then the guys, you know,
970
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,920
further down the Pike, getting
them some extra practices where
971
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,880
they're a little bit more
prepared to take on more
972
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,480
leadership roles as we roll into
2025.
973
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,720
And this is regardless of what
happens with the coaching staff
974
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:39,320
top down to bottom, all of these
things are going to be important
975
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,760
rolling into 2025.
So that winning the Cup, keeping
976
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,840
the Cup, getting those extra
practices, hopefully getting
977
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,360
another win in a bowl game,
getting back to seven and at
978
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,720
least saying, you know, despite
everything, we didn't take a
979
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,040
step back, even though we didn't
take the step forward that we
980
00:56:55,040 --> 00:57:00,000
thought we saw coming.
All righty, Shelton, what about
981
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,360
you?
What's your feet in this game?
982
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,480
I'd say try to, you know,
maintain some level efficiency
983
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,400
on the ground game.
I mean, I think if, if Vt
984
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,240
struggles to run the ball, it's
going to make it really
985
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:13,560
difficult for for Pop Watson,
just because, you know, now he
986
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,640
played last week, teams have a
week of film, you know, how do
987
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,600
they adjust?
You know, I think that's going
988
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,920
to be a big key.
I could certainly foresee a
989
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,000
situation in which maybe, you
know, Pop struggles under the
990
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,360
under the spotlight and maybe,
you know, UK rattles him.
991
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,440
They, you know, they disguise
coverages, they they make life
992
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,080
hell for him and maybe he can
adjust.
993
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,760
And so if that's the case, then
you got to be able to run the
994
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,120
ball.
So, you know, I don't know if
995
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,160
you know, I, I expect tune to
play.
996
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,160
Obviously, you know, he he said
that in the in the presser this
997
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,120
week.
So he's going to gut it out and
998
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,560
you got to find a way to get
some chunk plays.
999
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,720
And I think tune and O liner are
definitely going to have to, you
1000
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,520
know, step up and perform big
time this this Saturday.
1001
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:55,160
All right.
I've, I've said so much about
1002
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,560
the keys all year, a lot of
different things.
1003
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,760
And it's kind of what Shelton
just said right there, keep Pop
1004
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,720
Watson clean if he is indeed the
starter, which is looking like
1005
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,360
that's probably going to be the
potential.
1006
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:14,720
And then for the other one, what
you have to kind of think about
1007
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:20,000
is we've mentioned it a couple
times already is we have to
1008
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,520
pressure Anthony Calandria.
We have to.
1009
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:29,880
And when I say that, it just
means to me, if we're standing
1010
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:35,080
Calandria space pretty much all
game, I think this is going to
1011
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,760
be potentially maybe A1 score
game.
1012
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,560
We win.
But that's the two things.
1013
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,920
It's keep pop clean and it's
basically keep Calandria on the
1014
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,400
ground the whole fucking game.
All righty as y'all know this,
1015
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,600
it's been an hour and Jonathan
Tally is not here tonight.
1016
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,440
And Jonathan Tally had some
stuff come up family wise kind
1017
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,080
of last minute.
He was always expecting to get
1018
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,720
in here.
I think it was about 5:00 our
1019
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,200
time.
He messaged us, says hey, can't
1020
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,440
roll, something's happened.
Pretty sure everything's all
1021
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,240
right.
Usually Tally will let us know
1022
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,400
if more is going on, but
obviously I had to ask for his
1023
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,480
prediction and so I'm going to
leave with that real quick
1024
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,160
before I get to Shelton, Brian
and then myself.
1025
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,320
And y'all.
Tally's down bad.
1026
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,960
Tally's down bad.
Tally thinks that UVA takes this
1027
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,360
game 28 to 21.
What say you, Shelton Moss?
1028
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,280
I'm going to take I'm going to
take Vt 31 to 21.
1029
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,360
I think they're going to get
like a a less.
1030
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,760
I think we're going to get like
a late field goal to make it a
1031
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,200
A2 score game.
So that way we can live with the
1032
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,440
misery of Brent probably being
bad at one score games.
1033
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,080
So, so we'll we'll avoid having
one score win for the first time
1034
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,760
in three years.
So yeah, I'll take PT.
1035
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,280
Brian.
I wanted to pick against us so
1036
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:05,160
bad, but just looking at UVA and
what they've done recently, I
1037
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:10,360
just even with if Pop Watson is
the starter, I think we've got a
1038
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:14,120
a very good chance of coming
away with the W at home in lane.
1039
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,240
Bowl eligibility of the line,
Cup on the line.
1040
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:26,040
Give me a 3124 victory for the
Hokies and Brent Pry gets his
1041
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:33,200
second one score victory of his
tenure and you know it may be
1042
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:38,560
one that you know he can build
on for 2025.
1043
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,920
All righty, I get to go last and
as most people who know me
1044
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,520
personally, I'll probably know I
am a pretty positive person.
1045
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,040
I am I am a pretty positive
individual regardless what you
1046
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,360
see on here on Tuesday nights,
because this is where I get to
1047
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,960
been about Hokie football, get
to hold it in for a few days and
1048
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,000
let it all come out here.
But I'm at the point right now
1049
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,760
in my head, I I I can't see this
team win.
1050
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,080
I can't I just can't.
I think right now you lose
1051
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:12,640
another close game where you
literally had so many things
1052
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,720
that went against you.
You're right there.
1053
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,040
You should have easily have
taken it.
1054
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,760
So I think, and I am hoping I'm
wrong and y'all can all talk
1055
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,280
shit to me next week.
I'll be the happiest person to
1056
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,120
take it.
I think they snapped the 26th
1057
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,120
game or 26 year losing streak in
Blacksburg on Saturday night.
1058
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,960
It's a one score game. 3127 bad
guys.
1059
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,640
So there it is.
All righty, we'll.
1060
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,440
Split house here we'll split
house split.
1061
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,080
House cuz me and Tally were
dead.
1062
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,360
You know why?
Cuz me and Tally last week
1063
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,000
literally said Duke were going
to win.
1064
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,760
We had we had it on the notes.
That was how we felt and we
1065
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:59,200
flipped it at the last possible
second for whatever reason.
1066
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:04,440
Now Brian real quick got to make
an announcement here.
1067
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:10,360
So a couple things happened.
We never heard from our original
1068
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,360
winner of the pyramid.
So what do we have to do?
1069
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,560
Well, we threw all the names
back in there.
1070
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,240
We pressed the button and the
new winner, and you have two
1071
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,520
weeks.
You have two weeks.
1072
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:29,480
So what day will it be?
17 All right.
1073
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:35,920
You cannot math. 10th I can't
math December 10th December 10th
1074
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:42,560
There you go, winner is.

We have a few more things we're
going to talk about football
1083
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:19,160
related but as you all know it
is Thanksgiving week and if
1084
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,760
y'all don't know we are some
hungry people at the Boundary
1085
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,600
Corner podcast.
We always eat Brian cooking up a
1086
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,600
big meal this year for his
family.
1087
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,880
Two turkeys, baby.
Two turkeys?
1088
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,080
Are you heading back in town or?
Back to Richmond.
1089
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,560
Headed back to Richmond, eat
with his family at one
1090
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,960
Thanksgiving already at my
sister's this weekend.
1091
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,080
It was delicious.
It was great.
1092
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,280
Obviously Thursday here in
Richmond as well.
1093
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,240
We are actually my mother in
law's doing Turkey dress.
1094
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,800
We're doing the whole Turkey
here.
1095
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,920
So the first time doing that as
a family and one of our buddies
1096
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:02,200
that we chat with all the time
by the name of Andrew Karen
1097
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,160
through this out here.
And I I want to hear it not only
1098
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,440
from us on the US here on the
podcast.
1099
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,160
I want to see if y'all out
there, whether Twitter, YouTube,
1100
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:18,040
Facebook, and it's the following
and I'm going to Callie sent me
1101
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,120
his and our wonderful
contributing writer, Miranda
1102
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:25,240
Senator third, but what is your
core 4 on a plate of
1103
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,200
Thanksgiving?
You only had four items you
1104
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,320
could put.
What would you put?
1105
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,480
Gravy is a side.
Gravy is not a side.
1106
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,760
Gravy is a spa in this
situation.
1107
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,520
All right, I'm going to start
with Sally first.
1108
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,560
Sally said he's going to go with
the dresses and gimps and Turkey
1109
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,400
with Mac and cheese and a little
sweet with the yank.
1110
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,240
I got that.
Miranda, very similar here.
1111
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:52,320
She's going Turkey with mashed
potatoes, with stuffing, with
1112
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,320
green bean casserole.
Not not a sweet or Miranda.
1113
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,480
Ron Sigler.
That's my turn.
1114
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,400
What's your score for?
All right, all right, I got to
1115
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:08,160
go Turkey, got to go dressing,
got to go Mac and cheese.
1116
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,880
My 4th is going to be green
beans of whatever variety.
1117
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,760
So I will, I will go with some
sort of green bean, whether it
1118
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,840
be, you know, with some, with
some ham hocks, whether it be
1119
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,480
green bean casserole, you know,
whatever form of green beans
1120
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,240
you're giving me.
We'll put it on there.
1121
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,400
Jason threw it, threw a little a
little aside there with the
1122
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,720
deviled eggs.
He threw the deviled eggs in
1123
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,560
there.
And that's got me rethinking my
1124
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,440
green bean selection.
But I'm going to stick with the
1125
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,760
green beans.
Oh, he goes ham.
1126
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:42,080
Yes, some places do serve ham.
I'll be considering deviled eggs
1127
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,760
an actual side here.
How There's some there's some
1128
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,360
Gray area here.
I consider deviled eggs an
1129
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,640
actual side.
OK, I'll consider that.
1130
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,280
I'll.
Sauce and can't be put on
1131
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,560
anything.
You know what then?
1132
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,080
Deviled eggs might trump green
beans here, so let's go fucking
1133
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:57,960
doubled eggs.
Ryan's going down a little eggs.
1134
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,760
He's kicking the greens to the.
2nd, thank you, Jason.
1135
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,360
Thank you.
Shelton Moss, what about you?
1136
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,160
In order of preference,
obviously we're going Turkey,
1137
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,480
although I am a big hand band as
well.
1138
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,040
So if you want to substitute
that, you can mashed potatoes
1139
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,560
and gravy.
That's my number one side.
1140
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,880
You can't have a can't have a
dinner without mashed potatoes
1141
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,280
and gravy.
And then we'll go Mac and cheese
1142
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,440
and then we will go I guess
green beans as well.
1143
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,640
Just get some, get some
vegetables in there, make a
1144
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,240
little bit healthy.
There you go.
1145
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:26,760
All right.
I'm going to throw up a couple
1146
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,040
other folks here.
That was my inclination.
1147
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,200
And then I saw deviled eggs.
I'm like, OK, all right, all
1148
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280
right.
Your boy here not a big Deviled
1149
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,360
Legs fan?
There's Josh Young.
1150
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,720
Irrespectable.
Hey, Jim Casserole.
1151
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,320
Hey, Jim, with the with the
cranberry sauce, the can joint.
1152
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,120
Oh, man, Jim.
Jim started in the sweets
1153
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,960
earlier right here.
Yeah, man, let me go up to
1154
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,560
Robbie real quick.
I think you might have put it
1155
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,000
up.
There you go.
1156
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,000
All right.
I, I'd, I'd eventually pivot
1157
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,080
over to Robbie's version there.
So yeah, we're we're good there
1158
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,640
all.
Right, I am going to go as
1159
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,640
follows.
First of all, Turkey and mashed
1160
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,480
potatoes, both with gravy on
them.
1161
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,520
Get it on there, layer it up,
make it all good.
1162
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,080
Next, something to my wife's, I
love.
1163
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:23,000
She has a delicious corn
pudding, absolutely lovely, a
1164
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,480
little sweet.
Got to have it, especially as
1165
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:32,920
heavy as the Turkey, mashed
potatoes and and gravy is.
1166
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:34,800
And then give me a broccoli
casserole.
1167
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,520
Give me a broccoli casserole.
I like.
1168
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,640
I need a little bit of cheese in
my life there.
1169
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,400
Although I did have we didn't
have broccoli casserole, my
1170
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,520
sisters.
So I did have a giant portion of
1171
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,240
Mac and cheese, but you know,
throw a little greens in there
1172
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:54,760
and Yep, you know, it's always
fun.
1173
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,120
We'd love to hear y'all's as
well because I mean I'm going to
1174
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:06,120
be basically starting to
starting pretty much tomorrow
1175
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,520
through Sunday.
Lots of football, lots of food,
1176
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,000
lots of family, a lot of good
stuff over the next 5 days.
1177
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,640
Yeah, I put the turkeys in the
brine just before we jumped on
1178
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,000
here.
Curtis jumped on.
1179
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,439
He saw I had the the mic muted.
The the camera stopped.
1180
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,800
I was.
I was in there trapping the
1181
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,399
turkeys, man, getting those bad
boys ready, smoking.
1182
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,000
Them or you dropping them?
Oh yeah, I'm smoking both of
1183
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,080
them, getting a full 24 hour
brine in there and I'm going to
1184
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:37,439
let them air dry out in the
fridge overnight and then first
1185
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,920
thing in the morning they're on
the smoker.
1186
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,439
All right, let's keep it rolling
here and we will be eating good.
1187
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,359
Maybe I'll come to your house
Friday and just.
1188
01:08:46,279 --> 01:08:48,000
Eat all the rest.
Plenty of leftovers, man.
1189
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,960
Exactly.
Maybe I'll come over Friday.
1190
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:51,520
All right, let's hit it real
quick.
1191
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,680
College Football Playoff poll
released tonight.
1192
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,279
Obviously the chaos that
happened in college football,
1193
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:02,000
especially down the SEC this
weekend.
1194
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,720
Count throws everything, your
top 4 hour as follows.
1195
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:11,319
Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Penn
State, Notre Dame, Miami,
1196
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,840
Georgia, Tennessee, SMU,
Indiana, Boise.
1197
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,520
And then believe it or not, the
12th team is Arizona State in
1198
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:24,359
first team out is Clemson.
And for everybody's not aware,
1199
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:32,120
Oregon, Texas, Miami and Boise
State would get your buys home
1200
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,600
field advantages.
Ohio State, Penn State, Notre
1201
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:41,399
Dame and Georgia would be
getting home field advantages,
1202
01:09:41,399 --> 01:09:43,600
effectively playing these other
teams.
1203
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:48,200
Anything shocked by any of this
for either one of y'all?
1204
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,600
If y'all got to see the release
about two hours ago.
1205
01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:58,360
Not really.
This this was actually a little
1206
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,320
bit more predictable than last.
Like last week.
1207
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:01,880
I felt like we had a lot to talk
about.
1208
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,520
This was kind of a as
straightforward as you could
1209
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,560
imagine.
I mean, you could you could, you
1210
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,400
know, squabble a little bit over
up one, down one, but there
1211
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:14,520
there isn't the egregious What
the fuck are they doing there in
1212
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,280
in in this one?
It's true.
1213
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,000
I I I agree wholeheartedly with
you.
1214
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:24,040
It's like they got it right.
The Big 12 is definitely
1215
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:29,240
officially A1 dead league.
ACC potentially sneak two in the
1216
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,760
Clemson a game we're going to
pick in a little while here.
1217
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,920
That game is massive for
Clemson's.
1218
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,560
Yep.
IU probably has life if Indiana
1219
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,280
can beat Purdue.
The terrible Purdue team for the
1220
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:48,120
old Oaken Bucket, which is a
game I almost chose, but if not.
1221
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,360
Robbie got was very right and
very wrong last week.
1222
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,280
He's like, Indiana's going to
get blown out.
1223
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,160
They basically did, basically
did.
1224
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,960
And but they that that did not
disqualify them here.
1225
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,080
He thought it, he thought it was
going to, but the SEC losses
1226
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:10,040
definitely gave them some life.
Well, it's the SEC losses to the
1227
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,320
average teams, the teams that
have been basically.
1228
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,240
Meddling.
Yeah, meddling.
1229
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,960
You know, you can't continue to
pile again.
1230
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:20,640
I screamed it last week a little
bit.
1231
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,160
Wins have to eventually matter.
You, you, you.
1232
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,280
If a nine and three team makes
it in this year, it's just going
1233
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,280
to be one of those like, well,
if you're a tween team that wins
1234
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,960
10 or 11 games and you're left
out, like what the fuck can I do
1235
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,800
different?
I literally won 80% of my games
1236
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,920
this year and you're letting the
team that won 70% of theirs in.
1237
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:47,200
So, you know, that's all I can
say about that.
1238
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,760
So it will be interesting as we
go in.
1239
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,920
I think next week's is going to
be a lot of fun.
1240
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:55,760
True.
Great point, Jason.
1241
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,360
Unbelievable point, Jason.
All right, one last piece I do
1242
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,240
want to hit up before we go to
big screeners.
1243
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,800
I do not know if y'all, if you
aren't, you should follow Doug
1244
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:13,600
Bowman, who was with 247.
Doug Bowman basically looked at
1245
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:18,120
the BT Board of visitors meeting
that they had, I think it was
1246
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,840
last week, in which Tim Sands
basically stated the following
1247
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,640
athletic department is basically
going to get a 1% budget
1248
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,120
increase in the next couple
years.
1249
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:37,160
Now you sit here and say that's
one fucking percent.
1250
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,200
What the hell is that?
Anybody know the annual budget
1251
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,120
for Virginia Tech or you know,
any sort of big university like
1252
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,680
that?
Anybody 1.
1253
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,160
Day Athletic Athletics.
Budget.
1254
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,800
No, no, no, not athletic because
it's the entire university
1255
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,320
budget right now.
Athletics gets 5%.
1256
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,240
Tim Sands is basically saying
it's going to go to six.
1257
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,080
But do you know how big a budget
is for the school in general?
1258
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:10,560
I mean at least nine figures.
2.3 billion, so it's 10.
1259
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:15,240
Figures, yeah.
Yeah, so 2.3 billion and people
1260
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,640
are like, well, what's 1%?
So roughly right now the budget
1261
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,280
is like 125.
It would probably go to close to
1262
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:27,160
140 when that happens.
The other thing that's sneaky
1263
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,400
about this, if y'all don't pay
any, go go read that letter.
1264
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,440
Tim Sands is making a political
move to potentially get the
1265
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:38,440
athletic fee higher, however you
feel about that.
1266
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,800
And I know Shelton, you went
there, you had to pay that.
1267
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,720
I was part of your tuition every
year.
1268
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,600
Not something you can never get
back, but with a school of
1269
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:54,200
30,000 people and the amount
that they have to pay if it hit
1270
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,360
the highest end, which would be
$2000, basically would add an
1271
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,560
extra $32 million to the sports
budget.
1272
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:06,800
So anybody in favor of 50
million extra dollars in the
1273
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,520
athletic department budget?
Brian, you're being very quiet
1274
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,800
because I think he's about to
give the take that we talked
1275
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,920
about.
Well, I'm, I'm of two minds
1276
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,120
because.
So let's go back in time a
1277
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,320
little bit.
Let's go back to let's go back
1278
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,600
to 2000.
Let's, let's, let's talk about
1279
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:35,040
the enrollment boost of Michael
Vick of playing for the national
1280
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,640
championship.
So let's talk about that and
1281
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:43,160
then we let's compare that to
the product on the field and the
1282
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,720
idea that students should be
paying more for that product.
1283
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:56,760
So it's it's, it's the classic
catch 22 because you, you need
1284
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:01,400
the money to be competitive.
But if you're to, if you're
1285
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,680
getting the money and you're
still not competitive, you're
1286
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,320
going to have a backlash.
We're already seeing that this
1287
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,000
season, right?
You know, you went, you went
1288
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,600
full bore.
We're talking, we're talking
1289
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,160
about the NIL situation with
basketball.
1290
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:19,120
And we see what that looks like.
We saw it last night.
1291
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,080
We've seen it the last couple
games.
1292
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,320
We see where the state of of, of
the athletic department is with
1293
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,200
NIL and how we went all in with
football.
1294
01:15:28,440 --> 01:15:30,840
And we're getting kind of
basically the same results,
1295
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,160
right?
So now you're talking about
1296
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:40,200
adding student fees onto that as
part of essentially with budgets
1297
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:44,360
being commingled now between NIL
and the athletic department
1298
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,120
budget, all of that could
potentially go in towards paying
1299
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,440
players, you know, whatever the
athletic department needs at
1300
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:56,240
that given time.
So I think if you don't see some
1301
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,160
success in the very near term
with that strategy, there's
1302
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,960
going to be a backlash in
enrollment.
1303
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,240
And I know that there's other
states, other schools doing it,
1304
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,640
but I think from from Virginia
Tech's perspective, you're going
1305
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,560
to see some backlash.
Shelton Yeah.
1306
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,880
I mean, give me whatever you
want to give me on this man.
1307
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,840
Again, it's your alma mater.
It's something you had to pay.
1308
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,760
It's something that's looked at.
Obviously parents are going to
1309
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:26,840
look at it.
Kids are going to look at it.
1310
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,880
Yeah, I mean, obviously, you
know, you guys, you guys know,
1311
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,120
I'm, I'm a huge fan of college
sports and I want, I want to see
1312
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,160
investment and and see VTV
competitive.
1313
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,840
But you know, passing on the
cost to the consumer is
1314
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,520
something I always have have
issue with just because, you
1315
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,120
know, we're we're already paying
for the tickets, the TV, the TV
1316
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,800
fees and essentially subsidizing
the entire athletic department.
1317
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,440
Now we've got to pay on top of
that BNIL stuff.
1318
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,560
So, and then, you know,
potentially student fees, you
1319
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,320
know, adding, adding student
fees, which I mean, they can't
1320
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,520
do legally because VE has a set
a set fee right now.
1321
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,800
But yeah, I don't know man.
I just think it when you look at
1322
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,920
big picture, you know, obviously
these cause of like departments
1323
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,000
have gone by decades without
having to pay players.
1324
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,680
Now they've got to reinvest that
money into the players and it's
1325
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,520
created some budget shortfalls
and they're they've got to find
1326
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:11,920
a way to make up the money
somehow.
1327
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,960
So I think Tim Sands is going to
be good here.
1328
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:18,440
I know he, you know, he's on
leadership council for D1 and I
1329
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:20,440
think he has a good
understanding of what DT needs
1330
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:23,520
and how to manage the money.
But I just think it's
1331
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,400
unfortunate that, you know, we
are in a situation like Brian
1332
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,800
said, where we're investing more
than we've invested in decades
1333
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,880
and the product has not changed
at all.
1334
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,040
I I also think that, you know,
we're getting to the point now
1335
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,720
where it seems to me like
investment in players is going
1336
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:42,560
to be more important than
investment in coaches.
1337
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,680
But what does that look like in
the intermediate?
1338
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,840
I mean, we don't know exactly.
So lots of uncertainty for sure,
1339
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,040
but I would say that, you know,
this is probably a time if you
1340
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,880
have like department where
they're they're trying to play
1341
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:58,200
things safe and be calculated
and and risk averse so that they
1342
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,400
are set up well for the next
stage of college sports where,
1343
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,360
you know, we we're we're now
paying players and it's a very,
1344
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,360
you know, very much like a kind
of a pro system.
1345
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,120
And I, I trust, you know, Witt
and tans and sync on that
1346
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,040
particular front.
But there's going to be, I think
1347
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,120
it's, it might, it might get
worse before it gets better.
1348
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,560
I guess I'll put it that way.
Yeah.
1349
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,480
We're in that kind of Gray area
too.
1350
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:22,120
And I mean, I know a lot of
people.
1351
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,760
I think there's a, you know, we
saw from the poll, there's a
1352
01:18:27,480 --> 01:18:32,680
small but vocal majority that
very much want Whit Babcock out
1353
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:38,560
of the athletic department.
And there's part of that subset
1354
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:44,000
that very much does not think
that Sayings cares enough about
1355
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:49,480
sports to follow through on the
lip service that he's given.
1356
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:55,320
And I, I don't know where the
reality of that actually is from
1357
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,640
a long term perspective.
But when I look at Virginia Tech
1358
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:07,960
football and I look at kind of
where we were behind, I, I, I
1359
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,760
think the problem that Virginia
Tech football has is that we
1360
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:16,040
were behind on overhauling our
recruiting for so long.
1361
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:22,440
We were behind on, you know, a
handful of the facilities things
1362
01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:25,200
that I think needed to be in
place maybe a little bit
1363
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,040
earlier.
I know facilities are kind of
1364
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,720
falling out of favor in terms of
major investment.
1365
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,000
But when you look at a locker
room and I know that that's
1366
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:40,560
that's coming, but that's put us
at a disadvantage, I feel like
1367
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:49,520
from a just meeting the the
minimum required level of, you
1368
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:53,360
know, power for competitive
advantage from that front.
1369
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,520
So I feel like we've been a
little bit behind on those
1370
01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:00,000
things, some of those cosmetic
things that I think do have
1371
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,440
small influences over, you know,
players.
1372
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,360
And now we're in a situation
where we've got to weigh that,
1373
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:10,880
investing in that, investing in
staff, potentially overhauling a
1374
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:16,480
staff partially this offseason
with still fully investing in
1375
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:21,120
bringing in as many high quality
athletes as we can with NIO and
1376
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,000
that's a tough place to be in.
It it really is a tough place to
1377
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,840
be in.
It is a changing landscape,
1378
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:33,120
something that really we have
not seen in our lifetimes when
1379
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,760
it comes to this.
And again, how they go about it
1380
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:40,400
really over the next two or
three years is going to
1381
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,160
determine where Virginia Tech
stands at the end of it.
1382
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:48,080
And you know, we can say, well,
the if the product isn't good,
1383
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,120
you know, people are going to
get sick and tired of it.
1384
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,280
But but boys, I'll say this.
Take a look at some of those
1385
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,360
passionate fan bases across this
country.
1386
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,040
They don't have good teams.
Look at Mississippi State out
1387
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:05,120
there all the time screaming for
their team and they have not
1388
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:09,400
even been damn SEC championship
game.
1389
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,480
Think about that.
So how are you going to compete
1390
01:21:14,480 --> 01:21:18,320
with that?
How are you going to get upset
1391
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,280
and say, well, we need to just
go ahead and start cutting all
1392
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,920
this stuff off?
You really can't.
1393
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,880
That's my opinion.
It might not be one that people
1394
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,240
like a lot.
So kind of is what it is.
1395
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,480
All right, so let's move on
y'all and let's get down to big
1396
01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:39,000
screeners where it's always
going to be a lot of fun.
1397
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,200
And for this week, hold up
Brian, you didn't send me the
1398
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,320
four.
I don't know who's winning, I
1399
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,040
don't know who's losing.
Just know we're all out there
1400
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:53,040
floating around 500 somewhere.
So if you bet with us, you might
1401
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,240
win, you might lose.
That's all I'm going to say.
1402
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,040
But Brian on where you going on
this one?
1403
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,480
And we're heading to College
Station, baby.
1404
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:12,040
We are heading out there.
A&M is a six point home dog to
1405
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,800
Texas.
And you know what I think I
1406
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,120
think Vegas got that about
right.
1407
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,640
I think it's going to be about a
touchdown win for the Longhorns
1408
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,320
to give me Texas here all.
Right, this is a massive games
1409
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:29,600
when it comes to really the
playoffs implications.
1410
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,000
The winner of this game goes to
the SEC championship.
1411
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,400
It's going to be Saturday night.
It's going to be 112,000 people
1412
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,480
at Kyle Field.
I like Texas A&M getting 6
1413
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:45,120
points, but I don't think
they're going to win.
1414
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:49,920
I think Texas is going to take
this by field goal. 3128 Texas
1415
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:54,960
wins, A&M covers Sheldon.
Yeah, I think Texas is going to
1416
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,080
smack him around a little bit.
I think it'll be relatively
1417
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,560
close, but Texas will cover.
I just don't like the way AM is
1418
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:05,880
playing right now all.
Righty and I am on an island
1419
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,360
here.
On an island, baby.
1420
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,680
Everybody else Tally, Miranda
and Jason says hook em forms.
1421
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:16,360
Where are we going, Curtis?
We are going to Athens, GA for a
1422
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,320
little clean, old fashioned
hate.
1423
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:24,160
Georgia Bulldogs home team
getting 19 1/2 points versus
1424
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,840
Georgia Tech.
And, and on this one, Georgia
1425
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,720
already locked into the SEC
championship game.
1426
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,320
But I don't think they can.
They cannot.
1427
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,200
They can.
I'll afford to take it out of
1428
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:37,640
conference loss at 9:00 and
2:00.
1429
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:42,000
They cannot go nine and three.
But Georgia Tech has fought
1430
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,360
everybody tooth and nail all
year.
1431
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,840
The game last year was tooth and
nail.
1432
01:23:48,480 --> 01:23:52,120
So one thing I was looking at
and I want to see where it is
1433
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:58,240
because I got a feeling we're
going to all stick on here, is I
1434
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:03,920
think Haines King is going to
play, which is pretty big for
1435
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:08,560
them.
He's dated he's day-to-day, but
1436
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,840
I think 19 1/2 is too much.
Georgia at some point has to
1437
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,720
decide probably to turn the The
Jets off because what you do not
1438
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,880
want happening is somebody to
break their leg or some serious
1439
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,600
injury happen.
Give me Georgia Tech, it's 19
1440
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,360
1/2.
Georgia still wins, but closer
1441
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,080
than what the experts out in
Vegas think.
1442
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,880
Yeah, they got this one wrong.
To me, I think that's going to
1443
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,600
be about A2 touchdown win for
Georgia.
1444
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,600
I think Georgia Tech's going to
keep it close.
1445
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,320
You know, Georgia might pull
away a little bit at the end.
1446
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,000
I don't think it's going to be,
you know, worth 3 scores there.
1447
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,040
So I want to take Georgia Tech
as well.
1448
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,480
Sean.
Yeah, I'm taking Georgia Tech
1449
01:24:48,480 --> 01:24:51,120
also.
I just don't trust Georgia's
1450
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,800
offense enough to really kind of
beat him up that bad.
1451
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,360
And I think Georgia Tech, you
know, they've got enough, they
1452
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,640
got enough, enough talent to
give within, you know, 3
1453
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,440
touchdowns.
That defense is going to keep
1454
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:02,120
them in the game.
It's it's going to make it
1455
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,080
pretty close.
It really is.
1456
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,800
And Talley says Georgia Tech,
Georgia Tech off the board, they
1457
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:14,520
have officially been cursed.
They got the kiss of death man.
1458
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:22,040
The the the full BCP wagon here.
All righty, let's go next down
1459
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:26,720
to Death Valley, Clemson, SC.
This is Tally's pick y'all.
1460
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:28,560
And hang on, hang on.
That's.
1461
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,240
Not the oh, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry.
1462
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:31,480
Let's go.
Let's.
1463
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:36,200
Go to Shelton.
Let's go 15 miles that way.
1464
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,480
We got a big a big time game
this weekend in the Commonwealth
1465
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:43,520
Lee High playing Richmond in the
first round of the FCS playoffs.
1466
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,960
For those who don't know, the
FCS playoffs get started this
1467
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,880
weekend.
Montana State is the one seed.
1468
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,080
They had an undefeated regular
season and they are #1 in the
1469
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,080
FCS polls for the first time in
10 years.
1470
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,480
The usual behemoths of the FCS.
North Dakota State is 2 seed and
1471
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,320
South Coast State is a three
seed, so it should be a pretty
1472
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,800
interesting field.
I think Richmond is a nine seed.
1473
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,800
So they did get seeded.
The top 12 teams have a seed and
1474
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:15,360
yeah, some, some, you know, high
ups for the Spiders this year as
1475
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,240
they try to advance past the
second round of playoffs.
1476
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,440
Last two seasons for Richmond,
they have won their first round
1477
01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:25,120
games by a total of 63 points.
Their head coach is Russ
1478
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,600
Huesman, who was formerly at
Chattanooga and is as in his
1479
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,840
eighth season with the program.
So good game.
1480
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,600
I think it'll be fairly close.
The winner of this one will play
1481
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,000
Idaho all the way out in Moscow
and head over to the Kiddie
1482
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,680
Kiddie Dome next week for the
second round.
1483
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:43,840
But with all that being said, I
will take Richmond.
1484
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,080
I like how they how they played
in the first round of the
1485
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:47,320
playoffs these last couple of
years.
1486
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,400
I think they'll have no trouble
putting away the Mountain Hawks,
1487
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,520
and they'll advance to Idaho
next week.
1488
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,400
You know what I'm riding with, I
ride with Richmond as well.
1489
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,120
I got to got to keep it local
here and and and ride with the
1490
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,280
with the home team.
Those mountain hawk let that
1491
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:03,920
logo is something.
I like that thing.
1492
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,040
Cool logo.
Cool logo, but the spiders have
1493
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:19,560
always had a cool logo.
My father in Give him 21.
1494
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:24,200
Yeah, yeah.
And I think.
1495
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,080
We cursed them again.
We cursed them again.
1496
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,280
We cursed.
Them again if they lose.
1497
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,480
Spiders going down.
If, if, if, if they do, it's
1498
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:34,840
going to be on us.
Yeah, by the way, you from from
1499
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,280
Jason.
Jason was like kind of gamblers
1500
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,320
picking is kind of betting on
this game.
1501
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,280
Well, he's got to understand
Shelton's love for the FCS.
1502
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,280
By the way, let's just be
honest.
1503
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:50,080
Wouldn't it be nice to get to
1616?
1504
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,840
Nobody gets a bye.
There's no more conference
1505
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,000
championship games just starts
next week.
1506
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:59,120
They play 1, you skip 1, you
play 1, you get to the bowls at
1507
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,040
home fields.
I'd be down with that.
1508
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,920
I'd be sick as shit.
We'll get there eventually.
1509
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,320
There we go.
Eventually, yeah, it's, it's
1510
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,400
more games, it's more money.
Of course we're going to get
1511
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,640
there eventually.
I think, I think we'll get there
1512
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:17,240
once the the full power for
whatever split, whatever the
1513
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:21,280
fuck that happens with that,
whenever that officially takes
1514
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,160
place, I think that's when we'll
get to 16, but we'll see.
1515
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,800
We will see.
All righty, let's go next.
1516
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,920
This time we're going to
Clemson, SC, where it is the
1517
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,840
Ballaloo of the Palmetto State.
Also a battle in my cousin's
1518
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,880
household.
Wife loves Clemson, he went to
1519
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:39,640
South Carolina.
Son goes to South Carolina.
1520
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,280
Mom loves Clemson.
I don't want to be in that
1521
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:43,680
house.
He's never invited me over for
1522
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,000
Thanksgiving, for Thanksgiving.
I will never go down there
1523
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,760
because I do not want to slip
through the fighting of this
1524
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:51,080
game.
This is a big game in a lot of
1525
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,360
senses because we mentioned just
a couple minutes ago, Clemson is
1526
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,920
the last team out South
Carolina.
1527
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,240
I think I had it up here in my
damn web browser.
1528
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,880
Crash.
South Carolina is like 15th and
1529
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,640
people are thinking that South
Carolina may be able to slip in
1530
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,000
the back door and get in the
playoff.
1531
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,320
I do not think that is possible
at all.
1532
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,720
But Clemson's also a Sid and
wait because Miami plays
1533
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:23,040
Syracuse and what happens if
Syracuse wins and beats Miami on
1534
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,800
Saturday?
I don't know, right?
1535
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:32,280
Y'all don't know is.
That Clemson goes to the down to
1536
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,680
Charlotte.
Clemson goes to Charlotte if the
1537
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:40,360
Syracuse, Yep, they pull it off.
So Brian, what's your take on
1538
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,360
this one?
You know, it's interesting you
1539
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,960
talked about South Carolina.
I will say this about South
1540
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:51,360
Carolina is that if there's a
three loss team that makes it,
1541
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,360
it might be South Carolina.
Yeah, the way it's lining up,
1542
01:29:55,480 --> 01:29:58,040
right?
So if there's a three loss team
1543
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,120
that makes it, South Carolina is
going to be the one.
1544
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,400
But I don't think they get past
the Tigers here.
1545
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,280
I think the Tigers role, it's
not going to be a big victory,
1546
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,360
but I think it's going to be
about a about a touchdown win
1547
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:12,360
for the Tigers.
I am with you on this. 2 1/2 is
1548
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,920
not enough.
I think South Carolina, it's
1549
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,880
going to be a competitive game.
It probably is going to be an
1550
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,400
entertaining game.
The game should not be at noon,
1551
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,040
which I think it is on Saturday.
That's a bunch of garbage.
1552
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,080
It should be later in the day,
but you know I don't control the
1553
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:30,680
TV and where you put the games.
Shane and the boys keep it
1554
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:37,520
close, but Clemson wins by 10.
Give me 3323.
1555
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,960
Compounding the stakes,
obviously, if Miami wins next
1556
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,120
this upcoming week, Clemson
won't be able to get another
1557
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:46,520
chance for winning the
conference title game.
1558
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,400
Which means, of course, that if
the Tigers lose, their playoffs
1559
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,720
are very much in the balance.
So big game.
1560
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,960
I think the team kind of knows,
you know, the expectations.
1561
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,040
They've dominated this rivalry
the past decade or so, lost a
1562
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:00,920
couple years ago.
So they'll be pretty focused to
1563
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,280
like get that home win again.
So I'm taking Clemson.
1564
01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:09,120
There we go, Tally riding with
Clemson as well.
1565
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:14,160
Miranda with the Cox.
Miranda, Ron and Jason with the
1566
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,040
hey put up that Robbie message
real quick.
1567
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:17,920
Let.
Me.
1568
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:18,880
Find it here.
Hang on.
1569
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,560
My cousin is T, He is going to
be proud of you.
1570
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,440
Twizzler Go Cox.
Twizzler is a story.
1571
01:31:28,440 --> 01:31:31,360
Maybe one day, maybe a state of
the program gets told.
1572
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:33,960
What do you think, Robbie?
Can we tell?
1573
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,040
Him we got, we got about a month
away, man.
1574
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,800
It might happen this year,
depending on how much I drink.
1575
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,560
The story of why Robbie is known
as Twizzler to my cousin.
1576
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,760
All right, where are we going
next?
1577
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:52,480
Who is the next one?
Oh, hey, State and Iowa State is
1578
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:55,560
Miranda's game.
And I have been trying to pull
1579
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,560
this up, but my computer over
here has been a pain in the ass.
1580
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:02,560
So the Big 12 is in flux because
it's like four teams with two
1581
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,840
losses, and this is a huge one
on Saturday.
1582
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,480
So no team in the Big 12
controls their own destiny.
1583
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:17,360
I, I will say the message that
we're getting from the committee
1584
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:22,720
at this point is that, you know,
four teams from SEC or, or Big
1585
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,840
10 or BN before 2 teams from the
Big 12.
1586
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,520
That that's kind of the message.
That's kind of the message we're
1587
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:33,360
getting right now, which is kind
of, it's kind of wild, but it's,
1588
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,800
that's kind of where we are in
the process here.
1589
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,080
We'll see how it plays out over
the next couple weeks.
1590
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:44,520
But for this one, I'm rolling
with Iowa State here.
1591
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:49,320
I think 3 at home isn't enough.
If that was at 5 1/2, I'd
1592
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,200
probably still take it.
I think this is going to be
1593
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,040
about a touchdown victory here
for the the Cyclones.
1594
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:56,400
All right.
Are you ready to hear the
1595
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,080
scenarios, Bron?
Yeah.
1596
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,200
So watching Saturday, so if
everybody wins Arizona State,
1597
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:06,040
BYU, Iowa State, Colorado,
Arizona State, Iowa State in the
1598
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:13,160
championship game, if exactly 2
of that group win, the two
1599
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,480
winners will meet in the Big 12
championship game.
1600
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,840
OK, Yep, that makes sense.
Yep, that makes sense.
1601
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:22,760
So you've ruled, you've ruled
out the everybody wins or only
1602
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,320
two wins.
Now give me the middle.
1603
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:25,960
The middle.
Is a shit ton.
1604
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,960
Arizona State, BYU and Iowa
State win and Colorado takes the
1605
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,000
loss.
Arizona State, Iowa State,
1606
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:38,600
Arizona State BYU.
Colorado win, Iowa State loses.
1607
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:45,560
Arizona State, BYU BYU Iowa
State, Colorado win Arizona
1608
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,840
State loses.
Iowa State, BYU.
1609
01:33:50,440 --> 01:33:52,240
All right, here we go.
Last one.
1610
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,960
Arizona State, Iowa State,
Colorado wins and BYU loses.
1611
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:05,040
Could be either Colorado or Iowa
State or Colorado, Arizona
1612
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,760
State.
So they are really pulling for a
1613
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,040
BYU loss and everybody else to
win.
1614
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:15,160
Then it comes Texas Tech has to
beat West Virginia, Baylor has
1615
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:19,320
to beat Kansas, and Cincinnati
has to beat TCU.
1616
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,400
If that's the case, Colorado,
Iowa State.
1617
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:26,320
If Texas Tech wins and the other
two or one of the other two
1618
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:31,800
lose, then it's Colorado.
Arizona State, if I got that.
1619
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,560
No, hey.
By the way, I just want to let
1620
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:37,920
y'all know though.
But because we're going to a
1621
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,520
playoff, things aren't as
important anymore to lead into
1622
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:45,720
the season.
The whole fucking Big 12 begs to
1623
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:48,320
differ.
Dumbasses out there.
1624
01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:51,800
Oh I'm supposed to pick a game?
Iowa State easily wins this one.
1625
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,920
Sheldon, what you got?
Yeah, I think, I think the Big
1626
01:34:57,920 --> 01:34:59,360
12 cannibalize itself a little
bit.
1627
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,320
So I'm taking Gay State a big
win, big win last week for them.
1628
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:05,680
Iowa State I there's something
about him.
1629
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:07,680
I just don't trust him for
whatever reason.
1630
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:09,080
So I think I think K State wins
all.
1631
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:10,520
Right.
K State wins.
1632
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,960
OK, he's got K State win.
I'm trying to find the one over
1633
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:21,560
here where Iowa State loses Ron.
Tally's got Iowa State,
1634
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:25,320
Miranda's rod with Shelton,
Jason's riding with us Buddy
1635
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,560
all.
Right, so you want the Arizona,
1636
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,720
you want to see the Arizona
State BYU rematch, the Hail Mary
1637
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,080
that got caught at the three
yard line might explain why you
1638
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:42,320
don't get in zone on that play.
Oh man, last but not least
1639
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,320
would.
You who would have seen this at
1640
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:50,360
the beginning of the season?
With Jason to put possibility
1641
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:54,720
but who would have seen every
other game that we picked has.
1642
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,520
But I'm talking about this line,
Not, not, not the fucking game,
1643
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,120
but this fucking line.
No, no.
1644
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,000
Couldn't see that happening. 3
1/2 maybe, but not that big.
1645
01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:11,480
But it's kind of funny Jason
comes over here and chooses this
1646
01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:14,080
game.
A massive line and the only one
1647
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,560
that has nothing riding on it.
Nothing matters.
1648
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,640
Nothing fucking matters in this
game.
1649
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,280
So go ahead.
This is for pride of Florida,
1650
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:48,120
baby.
Hey folks, welcome back to
1651
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,400
another week of guitar licks and
gambling picks.
1652
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,920
It is rivalry week and I wanted
to send some good vibes down to
1653
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,520
Blacksburg for the Hoagies.
Hopefully they can finish the
1654
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,600
season off on a high note get
themselves bowl eligible.
1655
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,400
Unfortunately, Virginia does not
allow you to bet on in State
1656
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:09,760
Games, so therefore I'm going to
have to pick another game and
1657
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,840
for that I'm looking down to
Florida Tallahassee specifically
1658
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:17,480
for the match up between Florida
and Florida State that growing
1659
01:37:17,480 --> 01:37:19,920
up this used to be my favorite
game of the year.
1660
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,400
Both of these teams used to be
really good.
1661
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,800
They would usually be in the top
five and the winner often went
1662
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:28,280
to the national championship
game.
1663
01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:32,160
None of that is true this year,
however, Florida has turned
1664
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:35,160
things around quite
significantly that a big win
1665
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:38,360
last week against Ole Miss
Florida State however, is
1666
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,080
wrapping up what has to be
called the season from hell.
1667
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:45,160
My guess is they want to end it
as quickly as possible and I
1668
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,880
think that's exactly what
Florida is going to do to them
1669
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,600
this weekend.
So therefore I am taking Florida
1670
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:59,120
-13 1/2 on the road against
Florida State, which of course
1671
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,640
means I get another chance to
play some Tom Petty.
1672
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:53,360
Oh yes, you
do.
1673
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:57,360
All right folks, let's go Gators
-13 1/2 and let's go Hokies.
1674
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,920
I'll see you all next week for
Championship week.
1675
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:07,920
All righty, he's going Gators
laying a bunch of points.
1676
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,160
Brian, what are you doing?
I'm doing the exact same damn
1677
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,760
thing because Florida State
cannot get out of their own way.
1678
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,560
Florida's really kind of looking
a lot better in the last month
1679
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,280
or so.
So I feel a little bit confident
1680
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,640
about that.
I think, you know, 17 points
1681
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:25,360
sounds about right for that
victory there.
1682
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,160
I think the Gators will take
care of business.
1683
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:32,680
I think 17's being nice and
generous because.
1684
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,320
Rivalry factors in there.
Rivalry factors in there, but I
1685
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:37,760
get you.
I think Florida State's quit
1686
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,560
all.
Right, Florida State beat
1687
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,800
Charleston Southern 34 to 3:00
last Saturday.
1688
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:49,000
Charleston Southern is was one
and nine, 1:00 and 9:00.
1689
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,280
You knew what the score was with
about two minutes left in the
1690
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,560
first half.
I sent it to you.
1691
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,120
Yeah, Yeah, do.
You see, Sheldon, it was three
1692
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,560
to nothing.
Yeah, Water State, it was three
1693
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:06,320
to nothing.
Gators by at least 28.
1694
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,000
I do, I do think Florida State
will come out more motivated
1695
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,320
than they have been in previous
games, but I just, I don't think
1696
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:17,240
they stand even remotely any
sort of chance.
1697
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,240
I think I think Florida's a lot
better than people think.
1698
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,000
You know, they've, I obviously
feel like neighbour has been the
1699
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,320
subject of much criticism, but
you know, he's done a really
1700
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,440
good job turning that chip
around, keeping things afloat.
1701
01:40:25,440 --> 01:40:27,360
They've got a couple of really
big wins these past two weeks.
1702
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:30,120
So I think Florida State or
Florida, excuse me, rolls
1703
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,920
easily.
Yeah, I mean, really good effort
1704
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:37,160
to keep that, that ship going
because, you know, with some of
1705
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,440
the expectations attached to
Florida just being Florida and
1706
01:40:40,440 --> 01:40:42,280
kind of the way that season
started off, they could have
1707
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:46,720
easily just kind of, you know,
checked out mid to late October
1708
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:48,920
and they didn't do that.
So kudos to them.
1709
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,120
Tally's riding with you with us
as well.
1710
01:40:52,440 --> 01:40:54,800
So is Miranda, and obviously we
know what Jason's doing.
1711
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:59,440
So across the board here, taking
Florida, is this the kiss of
1712
01:40:59,440 --> 01:41:01,200
death?
I mean, that's what that's three
1713
01:41:01,440 --> 01:41:04,040
that we've 3.
Put the big board up there.
1714
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:06,560
You always have it ready.
Put the big board up there.
1715
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:08,640
So three across the board we've
got.
1716
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,680
Two islands.
Yeah, two islands and then we
1717
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,960
got the yeah 4/2 with the Iowa
State, K State.
1718
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:21,480
If you bet with us this week,
you pretty much bet with
1719
01:41:21,480 --> 01:41:23,080
everybody.
We all, we're all going to
1720
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:25,240
suffer the same fate one way or
the other.
1721
01:41:25,480 --> 01:41:27,360
And I think these, you know,
like we said, most of these
1722
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,640
games have some stakes attached
to them, except for the last
1723
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,400
one.
And the last was just a, a fun
1724
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,120
one to to look at.
You got a, you got a weird line
1725
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:38,000
in a rivalry game, but you got a
team that, you know, in Florida
1726
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,080
that's been playing a lot better
and you got a team in Florida
1727
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,760
State that's basically been
checked out since the middle of
1728
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:43,720
October.
So it's.
1729
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:45,920
True.
It's going to be kind of weird
1730
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,960
to see where that one goes, but
it's, it's a, it's a fun slate
1731
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,480
this weekend, I think.
I mean, it's always awesome to
1732
01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:54,240
have Jason pull out the
Telecaster and play some.
1733
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:56,760
Yeah, yeah.
We, we hadn't got that all year.
1734
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,680
We wouldn't, you know, mostly.
And you know what we found out,
1735
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:00,520
though?
What's that?
1736
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,360
You.
Can play the Telecaster and
1737
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,200
record it for the live stream.
It is not.
1738
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:08,920
It sounds great.
Yeah, Kelly sounds great, Jason.
1739
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,400
Yeah, keep that.
Shut up, y'all got anything else
1740
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:17,640
y'all want to hit before we wrap
this up and head into the head
1741
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:21,920
into the most consumed alcohol
day of the year?
1742
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,960
Yeah, Wednesday, guys.
So it's, and I, you know, I
1743
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,080
don't know if it's still this
way, but when, when me and
1744
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:33,400
Curtis were coming up, the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving
1745
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:37,600
was like one of those like just
fun, fun nights.
1746
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:41,120
You always ended up like waking
up to a hangover, whether you,
1747
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,840
whether it's like high school
or, or or college, coming home
1748
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,360
to visit, you wake up with a
hangover.
1749
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:48,680
You got, you know, smell the
food starting to cook.
1750
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:52,040
You got to go down there and
like nurse your hangover while
1751
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,440
you're helping out with food and
getting the house ready for
1752
01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:57,080
folks to come over.
So it's, it's, it's a fun day.
1753
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:01,520
I hope everybody consumes
responsibly tomorrow and, and
1754
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,400
Thursday if they, they plan on
partaking with families.
1755
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:08,840
So just want to say happy
Thanksgiving to everybody out
1756
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:12,760
there and we're going to see if
the Hoagies can can get both
1757
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:15,160
eligible this Saturday.
Sheldon.
1758
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,560
Go Hokies.
Go Hokies.
1759
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:21,720
Yeah, everybody.
Talk about this real quick.
1760
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:23,120
Do we want to talk before we
wrap it up?
1761
01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:26,240
Matt Brown got fired today but
he gets to coach against NZS 8
1762
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:28,280
and he gets to coach the ball.
We don't get to coach ball game.
1763
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,440
Probably not, no.
I I think they left that
1764
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:34,520
undetermined, but more than
likely no.
1765
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,040
I mean.
It's not a shocker.
1766
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,000
I mean, it's surprised it didn't
happen a couple years ago.
1767
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:43,240
It's surprising it didn't happen
a couple years ago.
1768
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:46,800
It's surprising that it happened
mid season after they rolled
1769
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:49,040
into the season with, you know,
sticking with them.
1770
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,400
I thought they if they started
the season with them, they were
1771
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:52,840
going to end with the season
with them.
1772
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,120
All things considered.
There I mean it.
1773
01:43:56,240 --> 01:44:00,920
It's not quite the, you know,
the graceful transfer of of
1774
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:05,000
power here.
You know, Mac, you know, for
1775
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:09,000
the, yeah, all the shit that I
think we've given Mack and we've
1776
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,560
given Mack a bunch of shit.
I mean, he didn't have to come
1777
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:13,560
back to UNC and give this thing
a go.
1778
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:19,000
So, you know, kudos for the
effort there.
1779
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:24,760
But it'll it'll be nice having
some of that that recruiting not
1780
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,040
in our backyard again.
We'll see what, what UNC, you
1781
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,120
know, pulls out of their ass in
terms of their next head
1782
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,560
coaching hire here.
But they're kind of one of the
1783
01:44:34,440 --> 01:44:39,840
one of the 1st, you know, P4
teams out the gate looking for
1784
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,240
a, for a head coach here rolling
in the offseason.
1785
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:47,080
So they have a, you know, pretty
good position to be in from that
1786
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:48,560
perspective.
Yep.
1787
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,840
And the only thing, let me tell
you, the first thing I did when
1788
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:56,200
they I saw you was fired, I went
to the UNC coaching page.
1789
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,480
Is anybody worth a shit here
that we can hire?
1790
01:44:59,880 --> 01:45:04,000
That's all I did that is TVD.
Curtis said Mack Brown,
1791
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,120
consultant to the head coach.
He's never been a she's been
1792
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,600
never been that shitty of your
game manager could tell price
1793
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:11,360
somewhat.
I was also looking position
1794
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,280
coaches too.
It's just what I'm doing.
1795
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:18,120
Oh man, interesting, interesting
put that up right there.
1796
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:23,480
That would be very interesting.
All right hour 46 in the book.
1797
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:27,480
We appreciate y'all watching
everybody have a happy save
1798
01:45:27,480 --> 01:45:30,000
Thanksgiving.
If you drink, call an Uber, call
1799
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,680
a friend.
Don't do that bullshit.
1800
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,360

Close L Oh, fat L.
Close L, but it sucked.
11
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Oh good, that's the worst in the
after game specials.
12
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Yeah, what'd you say?
So the worst of the afternoon
13
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,000
specials.
The worst of the afternoon
14
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920
specials.
Well, gentlemen, welcome to
15
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:46,480
Thanksgiving Week 2024.
Also should be known, also known
16
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
on this podcast as Hate Week
because obviously Saturday night
17
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,800
8:00 will be UVA versus our
beloved Hokies.
18
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,520
Yep, I'm drinking tonight,
y'all.
19
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,240
So the loop's not going to be as
sealed.
20
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Not going crazy like I will in
about 3 weeks, but let's just
21
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,920
say it's happening tonight.
As we were, as we were.
22
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,000
Josh, is this a reference to us
or the team?
23
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Or Saturday night, whichever 1
you want to count.
24
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,520
Hey, gentlemen, you were in
person, so we look forward to
25
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520
your insight.
Well, first of all, did you have
26
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
a good time regardless of
outcome?
27
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,080
I did have a good time.
I was the game with one of my
28
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Duke buddies and one of one of
his Vt buddies.
29
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120
So we had a good time.
I saw some of the Sun's people,
30
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,080
some of my former Charlotte
peeps.
31
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,280
So it was a good time, man.
I'm just, you know, it was good
32
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600
to kind of just be be with my
friends and everything.
33
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Like, I didn't really have super
high expectations and turns out
34
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
that those expectations were
justified.
35
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
So yeah, I mean, the practical
feeling, that's what it is.
36
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
I'm just, I'm just here to see
see my friends and enjoy night
37
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
out watching football.
And I got that so.
38
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080
All right.
Well, glad to hear you had a
39
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120
good time, regardless of outcome
of the game.
40
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Obviously you sent us a few
texts while you're in there
41
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,640
about some stuff going on and
everything.
42
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,440
So that should not be put on
this Oh.
43
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160
No, no, no, no.
That is, that is behind lock
44
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,079
and.
Key Hey, there's Wade has that
45
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:19,640
Wi-Fi though they can you can
get those.
46
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,920
Texts out with regularity.
There's a statement #1 Shelton
47
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,440
got not only one text out,
Shelton got about 7:00 or 8:00
48
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,200
texts out during the course of
the game because of good Wi-Fi.
49
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
That's another thing to bitch
about, but let's get into it.
50
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840
We are going to know the enemy.
We're going to look a little bit
51
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,360
at UVA.
We're going to always, as
52
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,480
always, go big screeners.
Some other news and notes as
53
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,600
well.
Some things breaking.
54
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Obviously, I want to look at the
playoff rankings, but we got to
55
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,760
start with what did take place.
What Shelton is listed list what
56
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,600
Shelton witnessed in living
color, live and alive Saturday
57
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,120
night.
A 3128 loss to Duke, another
58
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,560
late November loss toward the
Carolina team by 1 score.
59
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,680
And if you're keeping record at
home, we are.
60
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,080
Brent Pry is now 1 and. 12,
Third, 12/13/12.
61
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,920
One and 1213 games, Brian, that
have been decided by 1 score in
62
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,080
his tenure here.
That is right now right at 1/3
63
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,760
of the games he's played one and
12 and it sucks.
64
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,840
So I'm not even going to be beat
around the Bush.
65
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
I always like to say usually
what went well first.
66
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920
I'm not in that mood tonight in
y'all's opinion, Brian.
67
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Actually, Shelton, you want to
start us off?
68
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,480
You saw it and I'm sure you did
some data dig in.
69
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,200
What went bad Saturday night?
Well, first and most obvious is
70
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,040
just the explosive passing
plays.
71
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
I mean, it sounded like from
what Price said in the post
72
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,680
game, you know, they had some
coverage busts, some safeties
73
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,800
made bad reads on one of the I
think the second touchdown by
74
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,280
Duke or maybe no, it was the
third, the third big passing
75
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,080
play.
They accepted the third
76
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,480
touchdown before the end of the
first half.
77
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Dante Lovett just fell down.
So I mean nothing you're going
78
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,840
to do but just shake your head
there.
79
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,040
So I mean, yeah, that was really
the game for jib because I don't
80
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,280
think, I mean running wise, they
averaged less than three guys
81
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,320
per carry.
I thought it was one of the
82
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,800
better run performances for the
Vt defense all season long, if
83
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
not perhaps the best.
So it was kind of disappointing
84
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,440
from that perspective to just
see how well they stopped the
85
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
run.
But they give so many chunk
86
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,600
passing plays that it almost
doesn't even matter.
87
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,880
And you, you spot a team 14
points in the 1st 5 minutes the
88
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600
first quarter, yeah, you come
back to like, that's hard to
89
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,760
dig, that's hard to that's a
hard hole to dig yourself out
90
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560
of.
So and then third, I mean, third
91
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560
quarter, you know, Duke came out
with a really good first, first
92
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,960
drive to that half kind of
gashed ET through the air and
93
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
also with the run as well, you
know, don't know what happened
94
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,680
there, but I don't know, man,
just you know, they were they
95
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
were successful most of the time
the defense was, but just just
96
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,720
ungodly amounts of of big chunk
passing plays really did them
97
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,880
in.
Yeah, the frustrating thing was
98
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,720
just watching coverage, man,
because that's something I feel
99
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,520
like we've been not great at.
But I mean, we we hadn't been
100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,760
giving up those big chunk plays
like that all year.
101
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,360
So it was frustrating.
And I know a couple, you know,
102
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360
you had, I think Lovett slipped
on one.
103
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,760
He slipped on another one of
those, a touchdown one that set
104
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640
up a touchdown like Shelton was
saying, just before the half.
105
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,680
And then he had a big busted
coverage on that first one where
106
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,440
it looked like most Phillips was
kind of eyes in the backfield
107
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760
and next thing you know, you
know guys 10 yards behind him.
108
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,080
So it was just frustrating to
watch those big plays kind of
109
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720
happened because again, if you
take away those big plays, it's
110
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,000
a it's a completely different
game.
111
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280
But that's why you got to, you
got to be there and make the
112
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000
play.
Yeah, it's here you go.
113
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,200
This was early in the game.
It was 5 defensive plays.
114
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
They scored 14 points.
That's just unbelievable.
115
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040
I'll say this and we'll, we'll,
we'll probably touch into this a
116
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,800
little bit more.
The bad was into the game for
117
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
me.
Hey, I did not get to watch the
118
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,040
second-half.
We were visiting family.
119
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,560
I had it at my sister's house.
My mother didn't have it.
120
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360
So I'm between texting the shit
out of these guys along with
121
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Allie and other people and
watching Gamecast, trying to
122
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,600
figure out what's going on. 144
left, the fumble happens.
123
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,440
We get the ball great.
We got 3 timeouts.
124
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,559
You can run your whole offense
because you have timeouts in the
125
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,799
bag and we just chunked the
ball.
126
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,039
Let's just throw it.
Let's just throw it like, let's
127
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,440
try.
No semblance of attempting to
128
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,120
drive the ball.
We're down three.
129
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,840
You don't need a touchdown.
You do not need 84 yards.
130
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,000
You need at best, I'm going to
say 55 because of John Loves
131
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Lake, 55 yards.
That could easily be a couple
132
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,800
plays.
And I sit here and I'm
133
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
frustrated as hell because
that's not the first time it's
134
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,520
happened.
Happened against Vandy late in
135
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400
the game, happened against
Rutgers late in the game.
136
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720
So remember those things.
It's this consistently at the
137
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,120
end of the game we're down and
it's like literally it's like
138
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,840
playing a 7 year old on Madden
or college football and you get
139
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200
them down to a down late.
What do they do?
140
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,680
They run everything deep.
All you got to do is play
141
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,800
quarters or play covers for
you'll pick the ball off.
142
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,800
I don't fucking get it.
I'm not paid $1,000,000 and I
143
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,640
could sit here and tell you 144
left.
144
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,240
Heck, 1 little toss out the
Tooting, try to get the edge,
145
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,560
maybe he sails in.
Busted 20 yard run, run a screen
146
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,520
run.
Something quick to get the ball
147
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,240
in somebody's hands quick and we
didn't.
148
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Well, another thing we, we, when
you talk about that, we close
149
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,040
the first half with a couple
situations where that bit us in
150
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760
the ass as well.
You know, you get in the red
151
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,640
zone, was it under 5 minutes,
seven step drop, you get sacked,
152
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,680
another seven step drop, you get
a fumble.
153
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,600
Now all of a sudden, you know
they're in business.
154
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,080
They go down, they take the lead
there and, and then, you know,
155
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,280
you end up getting the ball.
Sorry, they, they, they, we got
156
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,640
the ball back, had what, 6
seconds on the on the clock and
157
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,640
another seven step drop instead
of just running a quick out to
158
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,520
try to get love a chance to, to
kick a field goal there.
159
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,000
So that sequence to close the
first half was mind boggling to
160
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,600
me.
You know, we had a bunch of
161
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,640
opportunities where we could
have really either taken a big
162
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,320
lead or at least got the lead
back there at the end and just
163
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,320
kind of, you know, pissed down
our leg a lot with the play
164
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,080
calling and and the execution
there.
165
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Shown anything else went bad.
I know you said you had
166
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,160
something, I told you put it in
the chamber, but I'm assuming
167
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
that was going to be in the bad
category.
168
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Did you, did you still have
that?
169
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,960
Well, that's more of a Brent
Price at which we can talk about
170
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,600
if we get into the coaching
discourse.
171
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,640
But yeah, I mean, I don't know,
I I didn't think I thought the
172
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,960
offense moved the ball pretty
well actually.
173
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,240
So I don't really have too many
gripes for the offense other
174
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520
than maybe how that that last
first first half drive ended,
175
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,440
you know, where they got down,
ran the ball, took a time out in
176
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000
the second down, I think it was,
and took a big sack.
177
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,440
I understand what they were
trying to do with, you know,
178
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,920
maybe only no timeouts left
second down.
179
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,120
So obviously, you know, you got
to take, you know, try taking a
180
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,560
shot to the end zone, you get
sacked, then you've got to pass
181
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,520
again to kind of throw the ball
away because you can't, you
182
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,320
know, you can't have the ball
clock running after that third
183
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,040
down play.
So it's like, yeah, I don't
184
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,080
know, just kind of messed with
drive.
185
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120
I mean, I know they had some
execution miscues on that one,
186
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,000
but that just was kind of
screwed up from the start.
187
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Hey, Robbie, I, I agree with you
here 100%.
188
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,560
But at the same time, at the
same time, that's when your,
189
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,120
your coordinator doesn't
necessarily put an inexperienced
190
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880
quarterback in that situation,
in that down in distance, in
191
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,520
that location on the field.
It's very true and I'm trying to
192
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,000
get to it here with the fumble
because that ball, that draft
193
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,880
started right.
We're at the Duke 14 yard line
194
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,760
with 47 seconds left, the 14
yard line and and pop, he
195
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,480
attempts to run the ball and he
he loses a couple proc calls a
196
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
timeout.
That's fine, no issue with the
197
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600
time out right there because he
gets hit behind the line.
198
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,160
People are going in, you bring
them back.
199
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,200
The issue was what you said,
what you said and what Rodney
200
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400
made to point out too.
They were as an experience, but
201
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,880
it's at the 14 yard line.
Why are you trying to run five
202
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,720
and seven steps drop, trying to
get people in the end zone, get
203
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,160
the ball in somebody's hands,
have two plays ready to go.
204
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,560
And Brian, I know you guys did
this at Sydney at times where
205
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040
y'all call a time out and you'd
have two plays.
206
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Hey, we're going hurry up as
soon as we hit the first one.
207
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400
We're going right to this one
regardless.
208
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,480
Again, I'm not getting paid
$1,000,000 When he comes out of
209
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840
that time out, it should have
been 2 plays in case we get
210
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,280
tackled inbounds, we can make a
quick snap and we can make the
211
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440
decision.
But instead it's a seven step
212
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040
drop, it's a sack.
Then it happens again.
213
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,320
We're at the 25 at that point in
time too.
214
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,680
So you sit here and again, it's
mismanagement of the game
215
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,880
because at the 25 yard line
through the math, 40 yard field
216
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240
goal, John Love tie ball game,
right?
217
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,600
Yeah, or or.
Down one point at halftime.
218
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,400
One point at halftime.
Yeah, so I, I, I pulled it up
219
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,200
the so that, that second down
play, they ran the ball and 2nd
220
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,880
down to yard loss called a
timeout.
221
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,400
They wanted to run a screen
pass, but it got blown up so
222
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,960
quickly because someone I think,
I think it was Kane and misses
223
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,440
block that got blown up right
away.
224
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,800
So you're back to the 27 and
then there's 28 seconds left and
225
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,120
counting and then you get blown
up.
226
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200
So I mean, maybe they should
have called.
227
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Well, actually, no, look at it,
man.
228
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,280
I don't I don't think pop had a
chance, honestly.
229
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,320
I just.
Well, the whole piece is well,
230
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,960
you, you, you mentioned they,
they blow up the screen pass
231
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,000
then then what?
You've got to basically go in
232
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Shelton to say, hey, listen,
it's the screen is not there on
233
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,800
2nd and 12.
Just kill the ball at the feet.
234
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,640
Just kill the ball at somebody's
feet.
235
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,120
We'll go third down.
It's the whole now try to find
236
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,280
the next play.
Well, likely that's the read.
237
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,440
And if they blew that up on a
screen, Brian, you know, from
238
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
playing offensive line all these
years and we can talk about it.
239
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Some people put in here the
offensive line playing like
240
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520
shit.
Not the whole game.
241
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Not the whole game.
It was a very up and down
242
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360
performance.
But but Brian, that screenplay
243
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,200
he's talking about, yeah, you
know that basically, you know
244
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,920
from playing, if that screen
does not work and it's not
245
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,960
there, you cannot hold the ball.
It should have been if the
246
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
screens not there, what do I do?
Throw it at somebody's fucking
247
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
feet foot.
At least at that point, even if
248
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,160
they call intentional grounding,
it's probably a three to four
249
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,200
yard loss.
And obviously too it would be
250
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,600
the clock would stop and either
you could do the 10 second
251
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,200
runoff which might have been if
I saw that situation.
252
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Yeah, I mean, it was it was it
was a common to your areas.
253
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,720
And like I said, it was it was a
combination in my opinion of
254
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,120
maybe bad situational plus
again, bad execution,
255
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920
inexperience from popping that
type of situation.
256
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,360
So there's just a lot of factors
at play there that really kind
257
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880
of, you know, helped helped us
screw the pooch.
258
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,720
And that's very important
situation in my opinion, because
259
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,200
you went from a, a, a, a spot
where the drive before, if you
260
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,320
could have finished that you're,
you know, you really fully
261
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,560
recaptured the momentum after a
disastrous 1st 5 plays on
262
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,680
defense.
Then you let them go back and
263
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,120
take the lead.
And then, you know, now you now
264
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,480
you're back again where you can
make it a one point game.
265
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920
You don't do it.
You end up getting the ball back
266
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800
and, and you kind of do the same
thing again there instead of,
267
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840
you know, trying to get a quick
play that might give you a
268
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,360
chance to, to, to, to at least
get one more field goal attempt
269
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,880
there to, to close out the half.
So to me it was just a a bad
270
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
sequence, those final really 3
possessions of the half for the
271
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Hokies on offense.
And effectively, those type
272
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880
things have been the undoing all
year of the Hokies.
273
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,600
Hokies fall to 5:00 and 6:00 on
the season.
274
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,320
And you know, it stinks.
That's the bad it stinks.
275
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080
I do want to point out that
there were a couple good moments
276
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,440
or not good moments, but good
individual performances in this
277
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,440
game And, and I'm going to call
out the first.
278
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160
We've called his name a couple
times for making errors, but
279
00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:02,240
overall with Pop Watson, I was,
I actually felt good because he
280
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,440
looked to be making quick reads.
You saw the elusiveness from him
281
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,680
and everybody can say well he
didn't look great and lead us to
282
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560
a win.
He played well enough to lead us
283
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,720
to a win if he had been put in a
couple more right situations.
284
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,920
Yeah, I mean we got a, you know,
I think when we look at the
285
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,160
performances we got also mention
Ollie Jennings coming out party
286
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,400
for 20/24.
It it took a while to get there,
287
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,640
but a, you know, we finally got
a big performance from Ollie
288
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,120
Jennings this year.
So good to see that and and
289
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,800
really showed a burst that I
don't really think we've seen
290
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960
for most of the most of the
season, especially on that that
291
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,000
touchdown where he kind of took
it, got up the alley and then
292
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
kind of finished it running over
the the tackler there near the
293
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,800
end zone.
About you showing anybody you
294
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,920
felt good about or you want to
give a kudos to, I mean.
295
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,280
We saw a little bit of Devin
Elvis at Safety Pride.
296
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Pride was complementary of them.
So I guess that'd be that'd be
297
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,320
one.
And again, I mean obviously the
298
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
entire D line I thought was
great and run defense so you
299
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,720
know cuz.
Yeah, I mean the the the the
300
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240
defensive line and the defense
in general from a, you know,
301
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,600
running run stopping situation
was was, you know, top notch all
302
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,040
game.
They they had a little bit of a
303
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,640
rough, rough drive there towards
the end.
304
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
They finally, you know, let a
couple runs get through there,
305
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,120
but for the most part, anytime
they tried to run, you know,
306
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,680
there, there wasn't really a
whole lot to be seen in terms of
307
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,640
extra yardage there.
So kudos to them.
308
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:46,120
It's just it's it's it's
frustrating that again, like
309
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,840
we're we're seeing this team get
beat in different ways every
310
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,240
week.
It's like we can't just circle
311
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,840
this is the problem.
This here is the problem because
312
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,440
it's something new every week.
And and that then that says
313
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
something that probably, you
know, hopefully a week and a
314
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,600
night we're discussing because
when you can't pinpoint one
315
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,200
problem, it probably means it's
multiple people and multiple
316
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,320
problems as we're discussing.
So, you know, we'll, we'll see
317
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,400
what happens basically over the
next couple weeks.
318
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:23,640
I want to give a shout out to
APR Did not report a sack that 1
319
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,680
1/2 tackles for loss, but you
could see him coming off the
320
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,120
edge.
They were ready for him and they
321
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,160
still could not stop the
pressure he created.
322
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
He got absolutely screwed out of
not being a finalist for the
323
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Lombardi award.
Absolutely screwed in my
324
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200
opinion.
Screwed.
325
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,240
If y'all didn't see that he was
not named a finalist.
326
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,160
It's a bunch of bullshit.
And somehow who else?
327
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Somebody else got left off the
Thorpe Oh Colorado guy Travis
328
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,400
Hunter got left off the Fort
today.
329
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,920
Finalist explain that one.
Anybody y'all got any
330
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600
explanations for either one of
those guys?
331
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:08,120
I mean, statistically he's the
best corner in the country and,
332
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
you know, probably a top 10 or
15 wide receiver.
333
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:20,080
And he did not get.
But you know, whatever, fuck us,
334
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320
right?
That's pretty much it right now.
335
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,440
All right, let's keep on going.
Anything y'all weren't prepared
336
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,400
for like.
Bombs, I mean, I wasn't prepared
337
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
for them to do have big plays in
the passing game.
338
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,160
I was not prepared for that.
I I knew there was potential
339
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,360
there, but we had been pretty
sound about not allowing those
340
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
the the big long ones all year,
even when, when those are
341
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,320
busted, usually it was kind of
underneath and there was a
342
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,720
missed tackle or over over
pursued or, you know, something
343
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,400
like that that was causing the
play itself to happen.
344
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Not necessarily, you know, just
getting, getting beat deep
345
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,480
slipping, things like that.
We hadn't had a ton of those all
346
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,760
year.
So it was really disappointing
347
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040
that for that to happen in this
game.
348
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Showing anything you weren't.
Yeah, I, I, I was, I mean, same
349
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,920
with Bryan.
Obviously the big passing plays
350
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,120
because it's not exactly Duke's
strong suit, but I was a little
351
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,440
surprised pleasantly with how
well the offense moved the ball
352
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,960
considering the circumstances.
I mean, you got down to pop
353
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,360
Watson, you know, your third and
quarterback.
354
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,440
I thought he he was looking
pretty good on some of those RPO
355
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000
slants, like he could hit them
and and Malik for, for Duke was
356
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,160
missing.
Like, I mean, he could barely
357
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,360
hit those, those ways.
And I know we had a few, a few
358
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560
good deep balls and he's good
throwing deep balls, but in
359
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
those intermediate range, I, I
didn't think he was very
360
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,560
accurate.
Pop looked really good on some
361
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,360
of those intermediate passes.
So I was, I was very pleasantly
362
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,640
surprised by that.
Yeah, this, this is another one.
363
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
My only thought with that is
that, you know, you go from
364
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,880
Schlee to Pop Watson and maybe
some of those snaps that you
365
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,280
were going to get a Aurora guy
in a wide receiver.
366
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Now you may keep your veterans
in a little bit more because
367
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,760
you're working with a raw and
inexperienced quarterback
368
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,400
though.
So that's my only guess there.
369
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,720
Anybody that knows different can
feel free to chime in there, but
370
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,040
that's my guess.
Yeah, there's nobody knows what
371
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,680
did didn't happen that I was
prepared for.
372
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840
It's it's it's it's tough for
me.
373
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:36,440
I go to probably I wasn't
prepared to see Basil Tune play
374
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:42,920
the way he played because him
coming off the injury he at
375
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,960
times look like the basal.
We know the cuts, the burst he
376
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,920
got over 1000 which kudos to him
on that.
377
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,200
I'm so glad he got 1000 yards
first since Filio Harvard back
378
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,240
in 2020 during the COVID season
1 a lot that you know no one
379
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,920
actually saw in Lane Stadium
which sucks but he deserved it
380
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,960
from getting basically COVID
screwing and probably out of AD
381
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,880
one offer last year.
The way things broke probably
382
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,200
more earlier in the season where
he could have had it then, but I
383
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,960
was pleasantly surprised that he
looked as good as he did.
384
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,720
And I also loved his statement
today.
385
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,040
I don't know if you saw it in
the presser about I'm here to
386
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
play, I'm going to go ahead and
say something.
387
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,960
Running backs, every NFL coach,
wherever he was, he just went up
388
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,240
32 spots on their boards
wherever he was.
389
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Because if you ever hear about
like NFL, I'm a Niners fan, they
390
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,160
always talk about it.
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan,
391
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,320
You have to love football to be
here.
392
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,040
You can't love money, you can't
love hype.
393
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840
You can't love success.
You have to love the actual
394
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
game.
When I heard him say that,
395
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,040
there's a bunch of people saying
where is he?
396
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,920
Move him up the next round, why
he loves the game.
397
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280
We're going to see him Saturday
one last time in Lane Stadium.
398
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,160
All righty, to the last point
here, we always hit then what
399
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,920
can we do better moving forward?
Is this where you wanted to to
400
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,520
throw the bomb in there?
Shelton?
401
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,920
What can we do better moving
forward because saw how much
402
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,600
coach discord we're going to get
tonight.
403
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,120
I mean, win close games, I guess
I don't, I don't really know
404
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:26,840
what what what other solution
there is like the teams play,
405
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,040
you know, mostly pretty well.
I mean, they put themselves in
406
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,760
good spots and they just can't
get out of the hump.
407
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,160
So I was researching this last
night because I saw a stat that
408
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:41,080
was somewhat related to it.
So last 20 years this year
409
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,840
Virginia Tech has a point
differential of plus 5.7 against
410
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,800
FBS team.
So they're they're weighing
411
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,440
their games on average by 5.7
points against the FBS.
412
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,240
That is the second highest point
differential for a team with a
413
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,800
losing record in the last 20
years.
414
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,120
Only other team with a higher
point differential with a losing
415
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:01,600
record was Georgia back in 2010.
So just kind of put some
416
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,880
perspective to you just how much
this team has underperformed.
417
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
And I know, you know, we talk a
lot about the coaching and you
418
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,240
know, where we've kind of come
up short and the coordinators
419
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,720
and so forth.
But like, I don't think the play
420
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,360
in the field has been as bad as
people think.
421
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:19,320
I just think the the complete
and utter inability to to
422
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,360
capitalize in those crunch
situations and just eventually,
423
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,240
you know, find your way on top
of a close game.
424
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,960
It's just something that's been
really unprecedented.
425
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,800
I mean, we've we've seen the
data like probably has the worst
426
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,280
record in once we're games for
any coach the last 20 years with
427
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,000
at least 10 games.
So I just, I don't know, I mean,
428
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,520
I'm kind of out of venture at
this point, honestly.
429
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Like just win, find a way to win
plus game.
430
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,040
Like there's really nothing else
that needs to be said.
431
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Yeah, you've lost six games by a
combined 34 points.
432
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,680
That's I mean that that that's
what it is.
433
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,960
You know, you're talking about
that's that's less.
434
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,000
You're not.
Getting blown out.
435
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,000
That's less than a touchdown per
game.
436
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,320
Only one of them has been A2
score situation, all the other
437
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,960
ones have been one score contest
so.
438
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,760
And that was a one score
contest.
439
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,200
For how long?
Most of the damn game game.
440
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,120
So I mean it, it's, it's one of
those so close, but so fucking
441
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:22,640
far away situations of like
you're, you're there to you're,
442
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,440
you're putting yourself in a
position where you could be
443
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,480
considered a good team, but you
are not closing the deal with
444
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,240
any sort of regularity.
When, when things are tight,
445
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,240
when things get tough, when,
when teams put pressure on you
446
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,960
in the final two minutes of a
game, when teams put pressure on
447
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,120
you in the final quarter of a
game, you've done a good job of
448
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,640
counter punching.
When, when teams come out quick,
449
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,640
you, you've had an answer.
When teams have hit you with
450
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,000
that inevitable third quarter
debacle, you've had an answer,
451
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,960
but you haven't been able to
close the deal when it mattered,
452
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,280
and that's a problem.
Yeah, put what Robbie just said
453
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,640
up there, you have to learn how
to win now and close the games.
454
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,680
And the question now goes, and
this is, I know we've said it a
455
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,360
lot and people in there put up
gems as well because it's it
456
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:21,920
goes back to this.
The question is, I'll give the
457
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,800
benefit of the doubt to a head
coach because if we talk about
458
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840
the way the talents changed on
the field in the last three
459
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:34,280
years, the the also the, the
analysis and the reviewing of
460
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,120
the talent in the portal and the
guys they're bringing in from,
461
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,600
you know, the recruiting ranks
in high school.
462
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,960
This staff's done that right?
You want to argue with me all
463
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,680
you want.
Colin Schley didn't look out of
464
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,080
place.
Pop Watson didn't look out of
465
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,640
place.
Drones, when he has been
466
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,520
healthy, has looked fine.
Facial tootin looked good.
467
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,360
Think of some of the younger
offensive lineman who are
468
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,800
working their way and they've
looked good.
469
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560
That's what's irritating.
That's what's irritating more
470
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200
than anything.
Because in 2021, the games we
471
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,640
lost, I could point and say
we're not as talented here.
472
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,640
We're not as talented here.
And and if you ask me what's
473
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,200
more frustrating, well, this is
more frustrating than that
474
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,520
because at least there I could
say we just don't have the
475
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,560
horses to keep up.
Now I get to sit here and say we
476
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,360
have the horses, we can play
with any fucking body in the
477
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,200
country and we've seen that.
We just ain't pressing the right
478
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,600
buttons.
Yeah.
479
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,400
I mean, you, you played, you
played with Miami, you played
480
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,480
with Clemson.
And then you kind of play down
481
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,240
to a Duke, you play down to a
Syracuse.
482
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600
And I mean, I understand you're
playing with backup quarterbacks
483
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,760
in both of those games, but
those are games you needed to
484
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,520
have to to put a stamp on the
season and feel pretty good
485
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,640
about it, especially the way you
started off with the Vanderbilt
486
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,480
and the Rutgers loss.
We needed to win those games.
487
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Perception wise.
You need to show that you can
488
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,240
close the deal against middling
ACC competitions regardless of
489
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
whether you got your starting
quarterback in there or not,
490
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,920
because you put yourself in
position Despite that.
491
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,880
To win those games, you got to
win them.
492
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Sean, One last thing to close
out this segment.
493
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,200
I mean, I don't know, I, I kind
of talked about it last week for
494
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,640
the key play, you know, it's
just, it's been a pretty average
495
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,160
step so far.
I feel like I don't think it's
496
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,400
been bad.
I don't think it's been great
497
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,240
either.
You know, I don't think the
498
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Sky's falling, but I just, I
think one of the things that
499
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,880
makes it hard to sort of analyze
what the problem is, is that I
500
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,240
think the, the issues with this
team are so vague and amorphous
501
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,240
and, and poorly defined that I
don't really know exactly where
502
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,160
to start.
Like I don't know who to
503
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,280
scapegoat statistically.
Is it the offensive defense?
504
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000
I don't know.
Could it be some of the
505
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
assistants?
Maybe.
506
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,080
But like, what's, I mean, like
what's the main issue?
507
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,640
I just don't know if there's one
thing you can put in.
508
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,560
So like we are terrible at that.
And if we fix that, then boom,
509
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,640
we're good.
It's like, it's kind of like
510
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920
collectively every, everybody's
just been average and I don't
511
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920
know how you fix average.
Yeah.
512
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,160
And I, I, I think I'll, I'll
tell this, I'll, I'll say this.
513
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,160
I think, I think we're, we're,
we're seeing that amorphous
514
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840
situation is coming from just
the general inexperience of the
515
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,400
people that are making the high
level decisions for the program
516
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600
right now.
And that's why you're seeing
517
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,840
different things, different
weeks because that that
518
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,160
inexperience, I think is
starting to stack up as we get
519
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200
into, we get expectations
attached to us.
520
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,600
We get these situations where
we're in these tight contest,
521
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400
you know, these these
coordinators haven't seen these
522
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,160
situations with enough frequency
when it's their decision that is
523
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,720
going to make or break that
moment potentially it and it's
524
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,800
like it's it's a combination of
of not seeing that, but also, I
525
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,600
think it at times either not
understanding the strengths and
526
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,000
weaknesses in a given moment of
your team and not leaning on the
527
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,320
strengths that you have in your
running game at key moments in
528
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,880
the game and thinking, I need
yards, I'm just going to drop
529
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,920
back and and and see what
happens here.
530
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,200
I think sometimes, you know, on
offense, Bowen sometimes
531
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,720
overthinks and then I think
sometimes on defense you get a
532
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,480
little bit of that that we do,
we do mindset and and that can
533
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,680
burn you in the end as well.
I'm going to just close it with
534
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:44,080
this right here.
So let's let's talk about the
535
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
the poll we put out there.
Oh yeah.
536
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,720
All right, so we put out a poll.
We're basically saying, you know
537
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,080
what is happening in the season
we got move on from Brent Pry,
538
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,200
move on from your OC and DC.
You know, it could be either,
539
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560
could be either, or it could be
one of the other, could be both
540
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,120
or something else.
And we put that out there.
541
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,960
So 75% of you think that one or
both of the coordinators need to
542
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,720
go.
The other 25% were basically a
543
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,160
combination of either move on
from pry or essentially all the
544
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,920
other statements were basically
dumped the entire athletic
545
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,520
department down the toilet and
start over from scratch.
546
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,320
So some, some variation of fire
wit, which is going to have a
547
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,120
trickle down effect through
football, right?
548
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,160
So 75% are just on the
coordinator wagon.
549
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Another 25% are basically some
some version of moving on from
550
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Brent Prize.
So that's kind of the rundown
551
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,320
of, you know, over 700 folks
that that that that clicked on
552
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,680
that that poll there.
So do with that what you will.
553
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Well, do with that, which you
will and you know, I think I
554
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,280
think it's where as I was
talking to a family member on a
555
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Saturday, they pay attention a
little bit to football.
556
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Not crazy, but I was like him as
that marketing, the guy who glad
557
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,760
hands people who's going to talk
to everybody at the party got it
558
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,120
down pat him as a face.
I know some people get tired of
559
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,320
the coach stick.
I still think his stick's better
560
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,640
than Fuente because he will a
lot of times, and we've heard
561
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,240
this from day one, he a lot of
times will say we as coaches
562
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,880
specifically on certain points.
If you all remember Brian, we
563
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,120
sat here, I believe a little bit
drunk a couple years ago and
564
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,160
said Fuente will never ever.
He always says wee, wee, wee.
565
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Say execution one more time,
motherfucker.
566
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Who?
Would never say coaches.
567
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,880
That is the one.
It's still a breath of fresh.
568
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720
I know some pisses, some people
awful.
569
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,440
What can you do?
And it's like, well, at least
570
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680
he's admitting that as a
coaching staff, they have to be
571
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,960
better.
He's not sitting here saying we,
572
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,760
we, what the fuck's we?
Is we all of us, the whole
573
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,720
fucking team?
The Royal we.
574
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
So there we go.
All right, so let's take a quick
575
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,120
little break here.
What I'm stepping on.
576
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,159
And as always, we are brought to
you by the Count Family
577
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,120
Pharmacy, your friendly
neighborhood pharmacy, 301 S
578
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:20,320
Main St. in Blacksburg.
And obviously it is hate week.
579
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,880
This week we do not have a
guest, so we are going to be
580
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,600
getting into some of the UVA
Cavaliers players here.
581
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Obviously they are currently led
by Tony Elliott, also in his
582
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,639
third season.
A significantly bigger or win or
583
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,400
significantly worse win loss
record than Brent Prockey's also
584
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,560
coming in five and six.
They're five and six, right?
585
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,639
I didn't.
I didn't fucking make that up in
586
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,639
my head for.
That we're we're both playing
587
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,679
for bowl eligibility.
The story of the Commonwealth
588
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:56,920
Cup over the last 10 years. 10
plus man, going back to the end
589
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,320
of end of beamer there. 2012, Oh
no, 10 years, 2014, man, that
590
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,840
was one of those years.
But we are going to talk about
591
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,240
them tonight.
And obviously, Brian, I believe
592
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,160
that you wanted to start on the
defensive side of the ball, a
593
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:19,840
little bit behind their
defensive setup, defensive
594
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,760
scheme.
Yeah, yeah.
595
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,800
I mean, this is a a multiple
formation kind of they you have
596
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,280
a three, four base, but they'll
run multiple fronts.
597
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,240
You know, you'll see them come
out of four two, you'll see them
598
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,680
come out of 3433 stack.
They'll run a lot of different,
599
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,520
different looks at you different
fronts.
600
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,680
So expect that, you know,
they've got their hybrid outside
601
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,760
linebacker DN and then they got
a hybrid kind of safety
602
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,360
linebacker there.
So they can kind of move guys
603
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,240
around, give you a little bit of
a different look depending on
604
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,560
how they want to attack you.
So expect that it's going to be
605
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,440
very interesting to, you know,
prepare for that from an
606
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,920
offensive line standpoint with
having different fronts pretty
607
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640
regularly.
So we'll see if they come out
608
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,280
and stick with mostly a 3A3 man
front or if they kind of mix in,
609
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,120
you know, four man with with any
regularity.
610
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:15,240
Yep.
And if y'all are wondering,
611
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,360
they're LED.
That's led by John Rozinski.
612
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,520
He's the guy that came over from
Air Force with them and as far
613
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,000
as it goes for this year,
they're ranked well in the
614
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,800
bottom half.
Shelton, if you have that
615
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,120
number, I have a very big number
here I want to give out.
616
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,360
They give up on average 5 point
yarn yards per play.
617
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,040
I do not have where they rank,
but Shelton, if you've got that
618
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,080
or any info you want to lay on
about their defense from a
619
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,320
statistical perspective before
we look at the players.
620
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,160
Yeah, I'm looking it up right
here.
621
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,160
I've got so 400, four, 119 yards
per game averages their average
622
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,600
for FBS opponents, and that also
translate to six yards per play
623
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,520
against FBS, which ranks 91st in
the country.
624
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,760
So not good.
That's that's low, low, low.
625
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
So Brian, let's talk about a
couple of the players Shelter,
626
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,640
you got any all these players
just chime in when you want to
627
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,920
my man.
Let's talk about kind of the guy
628
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560
you threw on here.
We'll talk about Jonas Sanker.
629
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:26,760
The six foot 293 LB safety three
star when he came out, actually
630
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,960
went right from hometown there,
went to the Covenant School down
631
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,640
in Charlottesville.
And so far this season, you
632
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,800
know, we're taking a look at
his, you know, statistics.
633
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,360
He is leading the team and not
only solo tackles, but also
634
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,040
total tackles at 89.
And Brian, just kind of looking
635
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,120
at real quick what you see, what
do you like from Sanker?
636
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:55,840
Yeah, I mean, he's a, he's a guy
that has really good activity as
637
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,960
a run defender coming from that,
you know, back part of the
638
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,960
formation there, really good
instincts, good tackler.
639
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,560
You know, probably not the
fastest kid that you'll see from
640
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,920
the secondary perspective, but
he can still make cover, good
641
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,880
ground there.
Not really great in coverage,
642
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,600
really just an average coverage.
But in terms of run stopping
643
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040
from a safety position position,
he does a really good job with
644
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,600
that.
Showing anything on Sanker grade
645
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,360
wise, data wise, statistics wise
you like or are interested?
646
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,680
No, I can.
I'll give you a second look at
647
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,560
that.
I can circle back all.
648
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,880
Right.
We'll circle back on Sanker
649
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,800
there.
The other guy I wanted to talk
650
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,320
about was a guy a lot of people
thought that might be in
651
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,120
Blacksburg after after he when
he came out, which in the 2023
652
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,680
passes.
Cam Robinson 4 star out of
653
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Tappahannock just down the just
down 360 here E heading towards
654
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,880
the coast.
Essex High School, pretty big
655
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,400
time recruit when he came out a
top ten player in the state and
656
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,960
obviously he's already getting
it done, you know, you know,
657
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,720
just in his second year there.
Brian, what do you like about
658
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:15,520
him?
Maybe some weaknesses?
659
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,760
Yeah, I mean, he's really kind
of settled in really quick at
660
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:28,360
the mic position for for UVA
really kind of came in and and
661
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,160
and out the gate was a was a
difference maker on that
662
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,120
linebacker unit and continues to
be.
663
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,960
He's been banged up the last
last couple weeks here, so he
664
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,200
hasn't seen as much action, but
we'll see if he's going to be
665
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,160
fully healthy this go.
But it looks like he is at the
666
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,560
top of the depth chart this week
for the Cavaliers.
667
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
So expect to get him in heavy
doses.
668
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,920
And I mean, he's a guy that's
going to give you a lot of fits.
669
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:55,520
Does a really good job against
the run.
670
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,920
Yeah, really good athlete.
Matches up well when he's in
671
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:05,120
coverage responsibilities.
Probably a little bit weaker in
672
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,880
zone coverage than he is, you
know, covering guys man to man,
673
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,000
but.
He's he's, he's probably the, to
674
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,640
me at least, you know, looking
top to bottom, probably the
675
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,280
scariest player on their defense
just because of what we do well
676
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,320
and, and, and what he does well.
Jill.
677
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,280
You're on mute again, bud.
Can y'all hear me?
678
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Yep, we got you.
One moment.
679
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,400
Can you hear us?
I got you.
680
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,800
I can hear you now.
I can hear you now, Sean.
681
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:46,440
You got anything right now?
Yeah, just looking at some of UV
682
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,440
as advanced sets in the in the
advanced sets column, a lot of
683
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,440
red, which is bad.
You don't want you don't want
684
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:57,280
red 102nd offensive success
rate, 119 drop back success
685
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,760
rate.
So their passing game's been,
686
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,680
you know, been extremely
inefficient and then you know,
687
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,040
defense 58th.
So a little bit better there,
688
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,200
but they just haven't really
converted drives.
689
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,120
But that's been a big sore spot
for them.
690
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,480
Third down success pretty bad
200 and 3rd and 3rd and 4th down
691
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,200
conversion rate.
So across the board, man, it's
692
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,560
been it's been a rough year for
the Wahoos.
693
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,720
It's not a lot to really look at
positively if you're a UVA fan
694
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,760
all.
Right, except they're five and
695
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,320
six.
Somehow that's the only positive
696
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,040
they have is they're fucking
5:00 and 6:00.
697
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Look at the front half of their
schedule.
698
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,480
Homie Oh it was awful.
I mean, we haven't had anything
699
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,680
to write home about, but the
front half of their schedule was
700
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:42,000
dog shit and we looked at it and
were like get to the back half
701
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,520
of the schedule and you will be
lucky to see one more.
702
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,640
They got it.
They.
703
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Got it.
Which completely shocked me real
704
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,880
quick about the importance of
Cam Robinson here, because even
705
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,480
though they ranked way, way
down, as Shelton mentioned in
706
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:03,640
the total defense in that yard
per play, their run defense is
707
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,800
middle of the pack.
So Cam Robinson playing Saturday
708
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,080
is probably a huge key to that
because they ranked 57th in the
709
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,480
country when it comes to that.
So definitely going to be key if
710
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,400
he goes Saturday night.
Brian, you had one more guy you
711
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,760
wanted to talk about.
Who was that?
712
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,960
Yeah, that's our defensive end,
Cam Butler.
713
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:30,280
You know, just looking at what
we do poorly, we struggle at
714
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,320
times to protect the the passer,
especially when you potentially
715
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,160
might have Pop Watson in there
at quarterback.
716
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Somebody with that inexperience,
you know, we saw that on a
717
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,840
couple times against Duke become
a big problem.
718
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,040
So we're going to need some
consistent offensive line play
719
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,360
when when we pair that with, you
know, potentially starting our
720
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,320
third string quarterback in this
game.
721
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,480
So we'll see if Schlee can go
with the, you know, concussion.
722
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,720
We know that that Kyron's
probably going to be missing
723
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,840
this game as well.
So we're probably going to be
724
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,920
counted on at least our second,
if not our third string
725
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,600
quarterback here.
So it's going to be important to
726
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,320
protect that person.
And you know, Cam Butler does
727
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,320
not not he's not an excellent
rusher, but he is a guy that is
728
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,520
consistent and has a motor.
So we've got to be consistent
729
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,520
with our with our protection
throughout the game.
730
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,880
And obviously going back to the
Duke game, probably a night that
731
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,480
whole offensive line wants to
remember giving up seven sacks,
732
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,960
14 1/2 tackles for loss.
So something not good.
733
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,320
And you know, like, you know,
Shelton said they're about their
734
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,880
drop back success rate, not that
good.
735
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,720
So there is going to be some
opportunities there.
736
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
But always keep an eye on that.
Cam Butler, Shelton, anything
737
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,400
else before we jump over to the
offensive side of the ball?
738
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,920
Yeah, I did look up the numbers
for Yonah Sankar.
739
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,320
There's safety.
PFF is pretty average on him,
740
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,720
maybe a little bit below
average, but he does have 6
741
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,160
quarterback pressures this
season, which is tied for ninth
742
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080
most among ACC defensive backs.
So I don't know how often they
743
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,840
bring them and pressure
situations, but you know, he's
744
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,320
done a decent job of getting
there at least.
745
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,240
And then, you know, in coverage
he's been targeted a decent
746
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,840
mountain and you know, teams
have had success against him. 3
747
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,400
touchdowns given up in coverage
for PFF so you know they've been
748
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,200
able to get to him.
But yeah, I just think overall
749
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,360
UVA for the most part has kind
of struggled defensively,
750
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,280
particularly in the secondary
run.
751
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,120
Demons has been OK overall
pretty solid, but their
752
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,440
secondary has been some some
burnt toast this season.
753
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,840
All righty.
Let's hope we can take advantage
754
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,960
of that on Saturday.
Let's flip over to the offensive
755
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,640
side of the ball that's led by
Dez Kitchen Brown.
756
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,720
What does he like to do on
offense?
757
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,600
It's a it's a wide zone offense.
You know, he's been trying to
758
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,240
get to it I think for a while.
I think they're starting to have
759
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:53,320
a little bit more success with
the running game this year than
760
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,960
they have necessarily.
I think the last two years.
761
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:01,520
It it it's an offense that it's
kind of predicated on being able
762
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,400
to run the ball so they can set
up some of those throws
763
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,840
downfield that that is kind of
their bread and butter when they
764
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,280
do get into a rhythm is throwing
the football down the field a
765
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,320
little bit off of play action
and things like that.
766
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,960
So obviously LED, you know,
Calandria quarterback, we've
767
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,280
seen Musk get in there at from
time to time.
768
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,840
I think there's a little bit of
a quarterback controversy kind
769
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,640
of brewing there.
I don't know how much to make of
770
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,000
that just because you know,
muskets out of eligibility
771
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,680
beyond this year.
So that's that's something to
772
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,440
watch.
We'll see how much of musket we
773
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,160
see Saturday compared to
Calandria.
774
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,520
But you know, when we look at
Calandria, he's a guy that I I
775
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,080
think is as as much as we want
to give Kyron the the sophomore
776
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,960
slump here.
I mean, here's a guy that that's
777
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:58,480
really hit the the sophomore
wall very fucking hard this
778
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,960
year.
You know, when we looked at him
779
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,480
playing last year, you, you saw
a lot of like, you know, the,
780
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,720
the ceiling was there.
You can see what the ceiling
781
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,840
looked like, You know, when he
came, you know, came to throwing
782
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,280
the ball down feel a lot, very
average in those intermediate
783
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,720
areas.
But he was, he was driving the
784
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,280
ball down feel pretty
effectively.
785
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,440
We haven't seen a whole lot of
that success this year, success
786
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,600
down the field much lower than
last year.
787
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,600
And he's the guy that's going to
he'll he'll put the ball in
788
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,080
danger from time to time as
well.
789
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,000
So we're going to have some
opportunities, again, just like
790
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,320
we had against Duke, to get some
picks here, turn those into some
791
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,160
points.
All right, anything on Calandria
792
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,920
to write home about Shelton?
Yeah, So apropos what Brian was
793
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,720
saying, actually PFF grades him
as the second worst quarterback
794
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,720
on intermediate throws this
season.
795
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,480
He has been very inefficient
there.
796
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,520
And they don't they don't throw
it a ton of intermediate.
797
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,840
But yeah, he's he's trying a lot
there.
798
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,000
He's also been pressured I
believe 152 times this season,
799
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,480
which is fourth most among all
Power 4 quarterbacks.
800
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,280
So maybe that's gotten a little
bit in his head.
801
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,680
I'm sure that's probably
impacted his performance to some
802
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,120
degree.
But you know, teams have a
803
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,960
pretty easy time getting into
them.
804
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,760
And you know, UVA typically in
terms of their passing
805
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,560
structure, they they
disproportionately go behind
806
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,560
line of scrimmage and short
throws a little bit more.
807
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,080
So you probably see that more so
than, you know, deep shots just
808
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,080
because they've been, they've
been so ineffective and
809
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,440
intermediate and deep throws.
I wanted you to bring up what
810
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,440
Josh brought up here just so
everybody can kind of know that
811
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,320
obviously if y'all are paying
attention.
812
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:38,120
Hey Josh, yes, first of all,
their second leading rusher,
813
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,800
Xavier Brown, he's out the rest
of the season.
814
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,080
So we will not see Xavier Brown,
who has been averaging 6.1 for
815
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,400
attempts.
He was right under 500 yards for
816
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,080
the year along with three total
touchdowns.
817
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:58,080
Also 14.1 through the air.
Co pace, Co pace, Kobe pace also
818
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,240
hurt.
They will not know a lot on him
819
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:03,800
until the end of the year or
excuse me, the end of the week.
820
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,440
So not looking good there as
well.
821
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,400
And I know Brian, you, you kind
of made a little point here.
822
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,880
You wanted to mention him
because he could potentially
823
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,720
show up.
Yeah, I mean, if he shows up,
824
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:19,640
he's going to be the guy that
that's going to have set the
825
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,000
pace for them.
He kind of has to in that sense
826
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,240
because he is their leading guy.
And if you're talking about
827
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:34,760
going down, I believe Noah
Vaughn, too, is going to be the
828
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,520
next guy up.
He is a sophomore and in seven
829
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,880
games he has 30 carries.
And you just kind of rubber
830
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,560
stamp what I was saying earlier
here, Robbie.
831
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,120
You know, knowing Kitchens a
little bit more there, if the
832
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,000
wide zone is not successful,
they're going to struggle.
833
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,880
Everything in the offense kind
of builds off the success of
834
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,600
that play.
So if they're struggling there,
835
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,000
it's going to be a trickle down
effect.
836
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,680
And we saw that against SMU.
We saw it against some other
837
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,320
teams as as well, so.
Hey.
838
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,880
Hey Shelton, your pressure rate
thing is absolutely on par with
839
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:11,000
how they do.
Statistically, they are 132 of
840
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,560
133 and sacks allowed.
They almost don't give up four
841
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,920
sacks per game.
So Shelton mentioned pressure
842
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,400
rates.
Not only are they getting
843
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,640
pressure, teams are finishing
them off as well when it comes
844
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,680
to that.
Couple more folks to talk about
845
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,040
here, Bryant, I know that you
wanted to hit up Malachi Fields,
846
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,000
who obviously is their key guy
when it comes to passing the
847
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,360
ball.
Shelton, I'll let you get the
848
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,800
data up here, but just Ron, what
are you seeing on the tape?
849
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,920
And then Shelton, if you get a
chance, let's talk about some of
850
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:46,200
where he's what he's good at.
Yeah.
851
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,520
I mean, he's their primary
threat down the field, good at
852
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,600
high pointing the ball, making
catches in traffic.
853
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,920
So he's going to be the guy
that's going to be kind of the
854
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,960
beginning and end of their big
play potential.
855
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,760
You know, there's some a couple
other guys out there that have
856
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,800
you've done some things here and
there, but really it kind of
857
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,320
starts and ends with what
Malachi feels has been doing.
858
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,520
Also to note, Trell Harris
hasn't been available most of
859
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,200
the year.
Looks like he is going to be
860
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,920
available.
He's kind of a very yeah,
861
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,080
specific use receiver kind of on
the younger end there, but he is
862
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,520
a guy that is a red zone threat.
So, you know, keep an eye on him
863
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,560
from that perspective,
especially with him coming back.
864
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,320
There's a couple other guys, you
know, like Andre Green and and
865
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,640
Chris Tyree that are out there,
but they haven't been the
866
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,760
factors I think that Eva thought
they were going to be this year.
867
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,400
Poor Chris Tyree.
Yeah, it it's, you know, talk
868
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,120
about somebody that, yeah, at
least Notre Dame was utilizing
869
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:48,160
him as a as a gadget type
player.
870
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,800
Whether we're out of the
backfield or at a true wide
871
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,920
receiver spot, UVA really has
not maximized his potential at
872
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,040
all.
It's really kind of beginning in
873
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,400
with Malachi Fields from a wide
receiver perspective.
874
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,040
We got another guy that we'll
talk about a little bit too that
875
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,840
kind of supplements that.
Yeah, but.
876
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,120
Let's go back to Chris Tyree for
a second because Chris Tyree at
877
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,440
Notre Dame basically three years
thousand plus rushing yards add
878
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,880
another 400 in the past in three
years also was a legit kick
879
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:23,240
return specialist and everything
just went this way.
880
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:27,960
And if y'all remember when he
came out, Chris, when Chris
881
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,320
Tyree came out, I mean, Chris
Tyree was like was like a top
882
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,760
150 player that went to Notre
Dame from Elsie Byrd down here
883
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,040
in Richmond.
And when he went to Notre Dame
884
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,360
and you saw the production, it's
like, well, they can't do
885
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,520
everything with him, but it's
like he's building his skill set
886
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,440
to basically he has a chance to
go to the next level.
887
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,240
He's submarine that this year
and what he's done at EBA.
888
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,320
And it sucks.
It sucks for him because he was
889
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,080
a hell of an athlete.
I can't remember, did he win
890
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,720
back in 2019?
I felt like maybe he was the
891
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:04,800
prep player of the Year, Jeff,
and I know you were doing some
892
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,360
stuff with RTV back then.
Was he Prep Player of the Year
893
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,240
back in 2019?
Actually done 20/19 was before
894
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,200
my time.
I don't know, but but yeah, I've
895
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,920
actually, I would actually, I
have a slightly different take.
896
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,280
I, I think his production in
Notre Dame was a little bit of a
897
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,360
red flag because he averaged
less yards per carry in 2022
898
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,600
than Keyshawn King did behind
that Notre Dame online.
899
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,400
So I, I think it was more a case
of like this guy was not quite
900
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,440
living up to the potential that
maybe some people, you know,
901
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:36,280
thought, thought he did goes to
UVA, you know, just doesn't
902
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,120
really produce, you know, he's
one of the lowest rated guys on
903
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,560
PFF.
Andre Green, another guy that
904
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,240
went to UNC, came back to UVA
and also is not produced.
905
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:47,880
So what what does that say about
some Virginia's skill guys?
906
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,000
I don't know, but maybe that's a
conversation for another day.
907
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,600
Another day, were you able to
find anything on Malachi fields?
908
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,920
Yeah, he's been pretty solid
this year overall.
909
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:03,280
PFF likes him as the number 4
graded receiver in the ACC yards
910
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,360
per catch, not eye popping, but
you know, pretty solid and
911
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,960
average average chef at the
target about 12 yards.
912
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,360
So a little bit more
intermediate, not not too much,
913
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,640
you know, going deep a lot.
But he's he's definitely been, I
914
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,840
would say, you know, their most
productive overall wide
915
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,040
receiver, not that, you know,
the competition is particularly
916
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,920
stiff, but he's kind of the one
guy you want to watch out for
917
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,280
the most.
What a subtle, backhanded
918
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:34,560
comments.
Oh, my God, that's great if you
919
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,920
didn't catch it.
The wide receiver, he's a good
920
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,160
wide receiver, but the
competition he's playing with is
921
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,840
not that stiff.
That's the why is the only
922
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,000
reason he's looking good, per
Shelton Moss.
923
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,680
All right, Brian, one more guy.
Let's hit him up.
924
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,160
Let's talk about Tyler Neville,
the tight end.
925
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,280
What you got on him?
Yeah.
926
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,640
I mean, when we talk about the
other competition not standing
927
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,680
up, I mean, Neville is what, the
number 2 receiver on this team
928
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,640
at tight end position.
So that tells you a little bit
929
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,840
about what's going on, on the
UVA side of things there.
930
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,680
And he's really their kind of
outlet guy.
931
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,640
He's the guy that's going to
help them move the sticks and
932
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,080
and keep the drive matriculating
down the field there.
933
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,280
There's a definitely big safety
valve for Calandria or Musket,
934
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,440
whoever we see.
Again, I'm still expecting
935
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,640
Calandria, but who the fuck
knows at this point.
936
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,560
I've heard that there's some
some locker room drama going on
937
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,360
with that situation.
So we'll see how that plays out
938
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,320
and what effect that that's had
on, you know, the output that
939
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,880
this team has had in the back
half of the schedule.
940
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,880
But now, I mean, Neville's kind
of very, very balanced guy, but
941
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,440
he also is is very effective in
the passing game, which I think
942
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,320
is where he's going to probably
serve the biggest purpose in
943
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,000
this game all.
Righty, so there's kind of a
944
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,600
quick look at the Virginia side
of the ball.
945
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:57,280
I'm going to make this real one
last real quick kind of
946
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,000
comparison before we get into
our keys and everything.
947
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,080
So I, I, I always keep up.
I'm a total offense guy, not
948
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,520
scoring.
I always, I, I love to lean on
949
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:13,040
Shelton for the deeper metrics,
but somehow there are two, five
950
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,800
and six teams meeting Saturday
and somehow, even though as bad
951
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:22,440
as their offensive line is, they
are just one, one position
952
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,000
behind the Hokies in total
offense.
953
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,080
Total offense for the Hokies is
84th.
954
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,680
UVA is 85th.
So just put that on there and
955
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,200
let's get to the keys of the
game here.
956
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,120
Shelton.
I'll let you Mull over a second.
957
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:39,680
Brian, what's your key to this
game?
958
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,080
The key to this game is keep the
damn cup at all cost.
959
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,600
You know, I think when we look
at the importance of this from a
960
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,800
long term perspective, I I think
getting the extra practices in
961
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,560
for a bowl is important for this
team because it is it's a team
962
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,480
that is both very young and,
and, and very experienced at the
963
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,760
same time.
So you got a lot of players that
964
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,480
are out of eligibility and then
you got a lot of sophomores and
965
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,280
freshmen that are seeing some
significant snaps.
966
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,760
So I think getting those guys
some extra snaps, whether it is
967
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,080
helping with potential draft
stock for the guys that are
968
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,560
running out of eligibility, that
are going to be draft eligible
969
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,200
or want to be draft eligible.
And then the guys, you know,
970
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,920
further down the Pike, getting
them some extra practices where
971
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,880
they're a little bit more
prepared to take on more
972
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,480
leadership roles as we roll into
2025.
973
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,720
And this is regardless of what
happens with the coaching staff
974
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:39,320
top down to bottom, all of these
things are going to be important
975
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,760
rolling into 2025.
So that winning the Cup, keeping
976
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,840
the Cup, getting those extra
practices, hopefully getting
977
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,360
another win in a bowl game,
getting back to seven and at
978
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,720
least saying, you know, despite
everything, we didn't take a
979
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,040
step back, even though we didn't
take the step forward that we
980
00:56:55,040 --> 00:57:00,000
thought we saw coming.
All righty, Shelton, what about
981
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,360
you?
What's your feet in this game?
982
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,480
I'd say try to, you know,
maintain some level efficiency
983
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,400
on the ground game.
I mean, I think if, if Vt
984
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,240
struggles to run the ball, it's
going to make it really
985
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:13,560
difficult for for Pop Watson,
just because, you know, now he
986
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,640
played last week, teams have a
week of film, you know, how do
987
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,600
they adjust?
You know, I think that's going
988
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,920
to be a big key.
I could certainly foresee a
989
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,000
situation in which maybe, you
know, Pop struggles under the
990
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,360
under the spotlight and maybe,
you know, UK rattles him.
991
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,440
They, you know, they disguise
coverages, they they make life
992
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,080
hell for him and maybe he can
adjust.
993
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,760
And so if that's the case, then
you got to be able to run the
994
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,120
ball.
So, you know, I don't know if
995
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,160
you know, I, I expect tune to
play.
996
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,160
Obviously, you know, he he said
that in the in the presser this
997
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,120
week.
So he's going to gut it out and
998
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,560
you got to find a way to get
some chunk plays.
999
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,720
And I think tune and O liner are
definitely going to have to, you
1000
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,520
know, step up and perform big
time this this Saturday.
1001
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:55,160
All right.
I've, I've said so much about
1002
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,560
the keys all year, a lot of
different things.
1003
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,760
And it's kind of what Shelton
just said right there, keep Pop
1004
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,720
Watson clean if he is indeed the
starter, which is looking like
1005
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,360
that's probably going to be the
potential.
1006
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:14,720
And then for the other one, what
you have to kind of think about
1007
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:20,000
is we've mentioned it a couple
times already is we have to
1008
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,520
pressure Anthony Calandria.
We have to.
1009
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:29,880
And when I say that, it just
means to me, if we're standing
1010
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:35,080
Calandria space pretty much all
game, I think this is going to
1011
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,760
be potentially maybe A1 score
game.
1012
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,560
We win.
But that's the two things.
1013
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,920
It's keep pop clean and it's
basically keep Calandria on the
1014
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,400
ground the whole fucking game.
All righty as y'all know this,
1015
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,600
it's been an hour and Jonathan
Tally is not here tonight.
1016
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,440
And Jonathan Tally had some
stuff come up family wise kind
1017
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,080
of last minute.
He was always expecting to get
1018
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,720
in here.
I think it was about 5:00 our
1019
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,200
time.
He messaged us, says hey, can't
1020
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,440
roll, something's happened.
Pretty sure everything's all
1021
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,240
right.
Usually Tally will let us know
1022
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,400
if more is going on, but
obviously I had to ask for his
1023
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,480
prediction and so I'm going to
leave with that real quick
1024
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,160
before I get to Shelton, Brian
and then myself.
1025
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,320
And y'all.
Tally's down bad.
1026
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,960
Tally's down bad.
Tally thinks that UVA takes this
1027
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,360
game 28 to 21.
What say you, Shelton Moss?
1028
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,280
I'm going to take I'm going to
take Vt 31 to 21.
1029
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,360
I think they're going to get
like a a less.
1030
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,760
I think we're going to get like
a late field goal to make it a
1031
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,200
A2 score game.
So that way we can live with the
1032
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,440
misery of Brent probably being
bad at one score games.
1033
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,080
So, so we'll we'll avoid having
one score win for the first time
1034
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,760
in three years.
So yeah, I'll take PT.
1035
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,280
Brian.
I wanted to pick against us so
1036
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:05,160
bad, but just looking at UVA and
what they've done recently, I
1037
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:10,360
just even with if Pop Watson is
the starter, I think we've got a
1038
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:14,120
a very good chance of coming
away with the W at home in lane.
1039
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,240
Bowl eligibility of the line,
Cup on the line.
1040
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:26,040
Give me a 3124 victory for the
Hokies and Brent Pry gets his
1041
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:33,200
second one score victory of his
tenure and you know it may be
1042
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:38,560
one that you know he can build
on for 2025.
1043
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,920
All righty, I get to go last and
as most people who know me
1044
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,520
personally, I'll probably know I
am a pretty positive person.
1045
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,040
I am I am a pretty positive
individual regardless what you
1046
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,360
see on here on Tuesday nights,
because this is where I get to
1047
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,960
been about Hokie football, get
to hold it in for a few days and
1048
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,000
let it all come out here.
But I'm at the point right now
1049
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,760
in my head, I I I can't see this
team win.
1050
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,080
I can't I just can't.
I think right now you lose
1051
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:12,640
another close game where you
literally had so many things
1052
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,720
that went against you.
You're right there.
1053
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,040
You should have easily have
taken it.
1054
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,760
So I think, and I am hoping I'm
wrong and y'all can all talk
1055
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,280
shit to me next week.
I'll be the happiest person to
1056
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,120
take it.
I think they snapped the 26th
1057
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,120
game or 26 year losing streak in
Blacksburg on Saturday night.
1058
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,960
It's a one score game. 3127 bad
guys.
1059
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,640
So there it is.
All righty, we'll.
1060
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,440
Split house here we'll split
house split.
1061
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,080
House cuz me and Tally were
dead.
1062
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,360
You know why?
Cuz me and Tally last week
1063
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,000
literally said Duke were going
to win.
1064
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,760
We had we had it on the notes.
That was how we felt and we
1065
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:59,200
flipped it at the last possible
second for whatever reason.
1066
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:04,440
Now Brian real quick got to make
an announcement here.
1067
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:10,360
So a couple things happened.
We never heard from our original
1068
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,360
winner of the pyramid.
So what do we have to do?
1069
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,560
Well, we threw all the names
back in there.
1070
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,240
We pressed the button and the
new winner, and you have two
1071
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,520
weeks.
You have two weeks.
1072
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:29,480
So what day will it be?
17 All right.
1073
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:35,920
You cannot math. 10th I can't
math December 10th December 10th
1074
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:42,560
There you go, winner is.

All righty so we're going to
move forward.
1082
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,480
We have a few more things we're
going to talk about football
1083
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:19,160
related but as you all know it
is Thanksgiving week and if
1084
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,760
y'all don't know we are some
hungry people at the Boundary
1085
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,600
Corner podcast.
We always eat Brian cooking up a
1086
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,600
big meal this year for his
family.
1087
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,880
Two turkeys, baby.
Two turkeys?
1088
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,080
Are you heading back in town or?
Back to Richmond.
1089
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,560
Headed back to Richmond, eat
with his family at one
1090
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,960
Thanksgiving already at my
sister's this weekend.
1091
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,080
It was delicious.
It was great.
1092
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,280
Obviously Thursday here in
Richmond as well.
1093
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,240
We are actually my mother in
law's doing Turkey dress.
1094
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,800
We're doing the whole Turkey
here.
1095
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,920
So the first time doing that as
a family and one of our buddies
1096
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:02,200
that we chat with all the time
by the name of Andrew Karen
1097
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,160
through this out here.
And I I want to hear it not only
1098
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,440
from us on the US here on the
podcast.
1099
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,160
I want to see if y'all out
there, whether Twitter, YouTube,
1100
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:18,040
Facebook, and it's the following
and I'm going to Callie sent me
1101
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,120
his and our wonderful
contributing writer, Miranda
1102
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:25,240
Senator third, but what is your
core 4 on a plate of
1103
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,200
Thanksgiving?
You only had four items you
1104
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,320
could put.
What would you put?
1105
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,480
Gravy is a side.
Gravy is not a side.
1106
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,760
Gravy is a spa in this
situation.
1107
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,520
All right, I'm going to start
with Sally first.
1108
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,560
Sally said he's going to go with
the dresses and gimps and Turkey
1109
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,400
with Mac and cheese and a little
sweet with the yank.
1110
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,240
I got that.
Miranda, very similar here.
1111
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:52,320
She's going Turkey with mashed
potatoes, with stuffing, with
1112
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,320
green bean casserole.
Not not a sweet or Miranda.
1113
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,480
Ron Sigler.
That's my turn.
1114
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,400
What's your score for?
All right, all right, I got to
1115
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:08,160
go Turkey, got to go dressing,
got to go Mac and cheese.
1116
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,880
My 4th is going to be green
beans of whatever variety.
1117
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,760
So I will, I will go with some
sort of green bean, whether it
1118
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,840
be, you know, with some, with
some ham hocks, whether it be
1119
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,480
green bean casserole, you know,
whatever form of green beans
1120
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,240
you're giving me.
We'll put it on there.
1121
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,400
Jason threw it, threw a little a
little aside there with the
1122
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,720
deviled eggs.
He threw the deviled eggs in
1123
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,560
there.
And that's got me rethinking my
1124
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,440
green bean selection.
But I'm going to stick with the
1125
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,760
green beans.
Oh, he goes ham.
1126
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:42,080
Yes, some places do serve ham.
I'll be considering deviled eggs
1127
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,760
an actual side here.
How There's some there's some
1128
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,360
Gray area here.
I consider deviled eggs an
1129
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,640
actual side.
OK, I'll consider that.
1130
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,280
I'll.
Sauce and can't be put on
1131
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,560
anything.
You know what then?
1132
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,080
Deviled eggs might trump green
beans here, so let's go fucking
1133
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:57,960
doubled eggs.
Ryan's going down a little eggs.
1134
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,760
He's kicking the greens to the.
2nd, thank you, Jason.
1135
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,360
Thank you.
Shelton Moss, what about you?
1136
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,160
In order of preference,
obviously we're going Turkey,
1137
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,480
although I am a big hand band as
well.
1138
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,040
So if you want to substitute
that, you can mashed potatoes
1139
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,560
and gravy.
That's my number one side.
1140
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,880
You can't have a can't have a
dinner without mashed potatoes
1141
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,280
and gravy.
And then we'll go Mac and cheese
1142
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,440
and then we will go I guess
green beans as well.
1143
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,640
Just get some, get some
vegetables in there, make a
1144
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,240
little bit healthy.
There you go.
1145
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:26,760
All right.
I'm going to throw up a couple
1146
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,040
other folks here.
That was my inclination.
1147
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,200
And then I saw deviled eggs.
I'm like, OK, all right, all
1148
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280
right.
Your boy here not a big Deviled
1149
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,360
Legs fan?
There's Josh Young.
1150
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,720
Irrespectable.
Hey, Jim Casserole.
1151
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,320
Hey, Jim, with the with the
cranberry sauce, the can joint.
1152
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,120
Oh, man, Jim.
Jim started in the sweets
1153
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,960
earlier right here.
Yeah, man, let me go up to
1154
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,560
Robbie real quick.
I think you might have put it
1155
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,000
up.
There you go.
1156
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,000
All right.
I, I'd, I'd eventually pivot
1157
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,080
over to Robbie's version there.
So yeah, we're we're good there
1158
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,640
all.
Right, I am going to go as
1159
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,640
follows.
First of all, Turkey and mashed
1160
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,480
potatoes, both with gravy on
them.
1161
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,520
Get it on there, layer it up,
make it all good.
1162
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,080
Next, something to my wife's, I
love.
1163
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:23,000
She has a delicious corn
pudding, absolutely lovely, a
1164
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,480
little sweet.
Got to have it, especially as
1165
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:32,920
heavy as the Turkey, mashed
potatoes and and gravy is.
1166
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:34,800
And then give me a broccoli
casserole.
1167
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,520
Give me a broccoli casserole.
I like.
1168
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,640
I need a little bit of cheese in
my life there.
1169
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,400
Although I did have we didn't
have broccoli casserole, my
1170
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,520
sisters.
So I did have a giant portion of
1171
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,240
Mac and cheese, but you know,
throw a little greens in there
1172
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:54,760
and Yep, you know, it's always
fun.
1173
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,120
We'd love to hear y'all's as
well because I mean I'm going to
1174
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:06,120
be basically starting to
starting pretty much tomorrow
1175
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,520
through Sunday.
Lots of football, lots of food,
1176
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,000
lots of family, a lot of good
stuff over the next 5 days.
1177
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,640
Yeah, I put the turkeys in the
brine just before we jumped on
1178
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,000
here.
Curtis jumped on.
1179
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,439
He saw I had the the mic muted.
The the camera stopped.
1180
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,800
I was.
I was in there trapping the
1181
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,399
turkeys, man, getting those bad
boys ready, smoking.
1182
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,000
Them or you dropping them?
Oh yeah, I'm smoking both of
1183
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,080
them, getting a full 24 hour
brine in there and I'm going to
1184
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:37,439
let them air dry out in the
fridge overnight and then first
1185
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,920
thing in the morning they're on
the smoker.
1186
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,439
All right, let's keep it rolling
here and we will be eating good.
1187
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,359
Maybe I'll come to your house
Friday and just.
1188
01:08:46,279 --> 01:08:48,000
Eat all the rest.
Plenty of leftovers, man.
1189
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,960
Exactly.
Maybe I'll come over Friday.
1190
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:51,520
All right, let's hit it real
quick.
1191
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,680
College Football Playoff poll
released tonight.
1192
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,279
Obviously the chaos that
happened in college football,
1193
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:02,000
especially down the SEC this
weekend.
1194
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,720
Count throws everything, your
top 4 hour as follows.
1195
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:11,319
Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Penn
State, Notre Dame, Miami,
1196
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,840
Georgia, Tennessee, SMU,
Indiana, Boise.
1197
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,520
And then believe it or not, the
12th team is Arizona State in
1198
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:24,359
first team out is Clemson.
And for everybody's not aware,
1199
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:32,120
Oregon, Texas, Miami and Boise
State would get your buys home
1200
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,600
field advantages.
Ohio State, Penn State, Notre
1201
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:41,399
Dame and Georgia would be
getting home field advantages,
1202
01:09:41,399 --> 01:09:43,600
effectively playing these other
teams.
1203
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:48,200
Anything shocked by any of this
for either one of y'all?
1204
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,600
If y'all got to see the release
about two hours ago.
1205
01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:58,360
Not really.
This this was actually a little
1206
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,320
bit more predictable than last.
Like last week.
1207
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:01,880
I felt like we had a lot to talk
about.
1208
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,520
This was kind of a as
straightforward as you could
1209
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,560
imagine.
I mean, you could you could, you
1210
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,400
know, squabble a little bit over
up one, down one, but there
1211
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:14,520
there isn't the egregious What
the fuck are they doing there in
1212
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,280
in in this one?
It's true.
1213
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,000
I I I agree wholeheartedly with
you.
1214
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:24,040
It's like they got it right.
The Big 12 is definitely
1215
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:29,240
officially A1 dead league.
ACC potentially sneak two in the
1216
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,760
Clemson a game we're going to
pick in a little while here.
1217
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,920
That game is massive for
Clemson's.
1218
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,560
Yep.
IU probably has life if Indiana
1219
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,280
can beat Purdue.
The terrible Purdue team for the
1220
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:48,120
old Oaken Bucket, which is a
game I almost chose, but if not.
1221
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,360
Robbie got was very right and
very wrong last week.
1222
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,280
He's like, Indiana's going to
get blown out.
1223
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,160
They basically did, basically
did.
1224
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,960
And but they that that did not
disqualify them here.
1225
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,080
He thought it, he thought it was
going to, but the SEC losses
1226
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:10,040
definitely gave them some life.
Well, it's the SEC losses to the
1227
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,320
average teams, the teams that
have been basically.
1228
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,240
Meddling.
Yeah, meddling.
1229
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,960
You know, you can't continue to
pile again.
1230
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:20,640
I screamed it last week a little
bit.
1231
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,160
Wins have to eventually matter.
You, you, you.
1232
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,280
If a nine and three team makes
it in this year, it's just going
1233
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,280
to be one of those like, well,
if you're a tween team that wins
1234
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,960
10 or 11 games and you're left
out, like what the fuck can I do
1235
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,800
different?
I literally won 80% of my games
1236
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,920
this year and you're letting the
team that won 70% of theirs in.
1237
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:47,200
So, you know, that's all I can
say about that.
1238
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,760
So it will be interesting as we
go in.
1239
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,920
I think next week's is going to
be a lot of fun.
1240
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:55,760
True.
Great point, Jason.
1241
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,360
Unbelievable point, Jason.
All right, one last piece I do
1242
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,240
want to hit up before we go to
big screeners.
1243
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,800
I do not know if y'all, if you
aren't, you should follow Doug
1244
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:13,600
Bowman, who was with 247.
Doug Bowman basically looked at
1245
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:18,120
the BT Board of visitors meeting
that they had, I think it was
1246
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,840
last week, in which Tim Sands
basically stated the following
1247
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,640
athletic department is basically
going to get a 1% budget
1248
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,120
increase in the next couple
years.
1249
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:37,160
Now you sit here and say that's
one fucking percent.
1250
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,200
What the hell is that?
Anybody know the annual budget
1251
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,120
for Virginia Tech or you know,
any sort of big university like
1252
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,680
that?
Anybody 1.
1253
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,160
Day Athletic Athletics.
Budget.
1254
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,800
No, no, no, not athletic because
it's the entire university
1255
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,320
budget right now.
Athletics gets 5%.
1256
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,240
Tim Sands is basically saying
it's going to go to six.
1257
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,080
But do you know how big a budget
is for the school in general?
1258
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:10,560
I mean at least nine figures.
2.3 billion, so it's 10.
1259
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:15,240
Figures, yeah.
Yeah, so 2.3 billion and people
1260
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,640
are like, well, what's 1%?
So roughly right now the budget
1261
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,280
is like 125.
It would probably go to close to
1262
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:27,160
140 when that happens.
The other thing that's sneaky
1263
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,400
about this, if y'all don't pay
any, go go read that letter.
1264
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,440
Tim Sands is making a political
move to potentially get the
1265
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:38,440
athletic fee higher, however you
feel about that.
1266
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,800
And I know Shelton, you went
there, you had to pay that.
1267
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,720
I was part of your tuition every
year.
1268
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,600
Not something you can never get
back, but with a school of
1269
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:54,200
30,000 people and the amount
that they have to pay if it hit
1270
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,360
the highest end, which would be
$2000, basically would add an
1271
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,560
extra $32 million to the sports
budget.
1272
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:06,800
So anybody in favor of 50
million extra dollars in the
1273
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,520
athletic department budget?
Brian, you're being very quiet
1274
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,800
because I think he's about to
give the take that we talked
1275
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,920
about.
Well, I'm, I'm of two minds
1276
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,120
because.
So let's go back in time a
1277
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,320
little bit.
Let's go back to let's go back
1278
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,600
to 2000.
Let's, let's, let's talk about
1279
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:35,040
the enrollment boost of Michael
Vick of playing for the national
1280
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,640
championship.
So let's talk about that and
1281
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:43,160
then we let's compare that to
the product on the field and the
1282
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,720
idea that students should be
paying more for that product.
1283
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:56,760
So it's it's, it's the classic
catch 22 because you, you need
1284
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:01,400
the money to be competitive.
But if you're to, if you're
1285
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,680
getting the money and you're
still not competitive, you're
1286
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,320
going to have a backlash.
We're already seeing that this
1287
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,000
season, right?
You know, you went, you went
1288
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,600
full bore.
We're talking, we're talking
1289
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,160
about the NIL situation with
basketball.
1290
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:19,120
And we see what that looks like.
We saw it last night.
1291
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,080
We've seen it the last couple
games.
1292
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,320
We see where the state of of, of
the athletic department is with
1293
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,200
NIL and how we went all in with
football.
1294
01:15:28,440 --> 01:15:30,840
And we're getting kind of
basically the same results,
1295
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,160
right?
So now you're talking about
1296
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:40,200
adding student fees onto that as
part of essentially with budgets
1297
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:44,360
being commingled now between NIL
and the athletic department
1298
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,120
budget, all of that could
potentially go in towards paying
1299
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,440
players, you know, whatever the
athletic department needs at
1300
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:56,240
that given time.
So I think if you don't see some
1301
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,160
success in the very near term
with that strategy, there's
1302
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,960
going to be a backlash in
enrollment.
1303
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,240
And I know that there's other
states, other schools doing it,
1304
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,640
but I think from from Virginia
Tech's perspective, you're going
1305
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,560
to see some backlash.
Shelton Yeah.
1306
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,880
I mean, give me whatever you
want to give me on this man.
1307
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,840
Again, it's your alma mater.
It's something you had to pay.
1308
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,760
It's something that's looked at.
Obviously parents are going to
1309
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:26,840
look at it.
Kids are going to look at it.
1310
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,880
Yeah, I mean, obviously, you
know, you guys, you guys know,
1311
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,120
I'm, I'm a huge fan of college
sports and I want, I want to see
1312
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,160
investment and and see VTV
competitive.
1313
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,840
But you know, passing on the
cost to the consumer is
1314
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,520
something I always have have
issue with just because, you
1315
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,120
know, we're we're already paying
for the tickets, the TV, the TV
1316
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,800
fees and essentially subsidizing
the entire athletic department.
1317
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,440
Now we've got to pay on top of
that BNIL stuff.
1318
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,560
So, and then, you know,
potentially student fees, you
1319
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,320
know, adding, adding student
fees, which I mean, they can't
1320
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,520
do legally because VE has a set
a set fee right now.
1321
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,800
But yeah, I don't know man.
I just think it when you look at
1322
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,920
big picture, you know, obviously
these cause of like departments
1323
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,000
have gone by decades without
having to pay players.
1324
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,680
Now they've got to reinvest that
money into the players and it's
1325
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,520
created some budget shortfalls
and they're they've got to find
1326
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:11,920
a way to make up the money
somehow.
1327
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,960
So I think Tim Sands is going to
be good here.
1328
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:18,440
I know he, you know, he's on
leadership council for D1 and I
1329
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:20,440
think he has a good
understanding of what DT needs
1330
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:23,520
and how to manage the money.
But I just think it's
1331
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,400
unfortunate that, you know, we
are in a situation like Brian
1332
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,800
said, where we're investing more
than we've invested in decades
1333
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,880
and the product has not changed
at all.
1334
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,040
I I also think that, you know,
we're getting to the point now
1335
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,720
where it seems to me like
investment in players is going
1336
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:42,560
to be more important than
investment in coaches.
1337
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,680
But what does that look like in
the intermediate?
1338
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,840
I mean, we don't know exactly.
So lots of uncertainty for sure,
1339
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,040
but I would say that, you know,
this is probably a time if you
1340
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,880
have like department where
they're they're trying to play
1341
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:58,200
things safe and be calculated
and and risk averse so that they
1342
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,400
are set up well for the next
stage of college sports where,
1343
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,360
you know, we we're we're now
paying players and it's a very,
1344
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,360
you know, very much like a kind
of a pro system.
1345
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,120
And I, I trust, you know, Witt
and tans and sync on that
1346
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,040
particular front.
But there's going to be, I think
1347
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,120
it's, it might, it might get
worse before it gets better.
1348
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,560
I guess I'll put it that way.
Yeah.
1349
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,480
We're in that kind of Gray area
too.
1350
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:22,120
And I mean, I know a lot of
people.
1351
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,760
I think there's a, you know, we
saw from the poll, there's a
1352
01:18:27,480 --> 01:18:32,680
small but vocal majority that
very much want Whit Babcock out
1353
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:38,560
of the athletic department.
And there's part of that subset
1354
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:44,000
that very much does not think
that Sayings cares enough about
1355
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:49,480
sports to follow through on the
lip service that he's given.
1356
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:55,320
And I, I don't know where the
reality of that actually is from
1357
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,640
a long term perspective.
But when I look at Virginia Tech
1358
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:07,960
football and I look at kind of
where we were behind, I, I, I
1359
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,760
think the problem that Virginia
Tech football has is that we
1360
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:16,040
were behind on overhauling our
recruiting for so long.
1361
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:22,440
We were behind on, you know, a
handful of the facilities things
1362
01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:25,200
that I think needed to be in
place maybe a little bit
1363
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,040
earlier.
I know facilities are kind of
1364
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,720
falling out of favor in terms of
major investment.
1365
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,000
But when you look at a locker
room and I know that that's
1366
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:40,560
that's coming, but that's put us
at a disadvantage, I feel like
1367
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:49,520
from a just meeting the the
minimum required level of, you
1368
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:53,360
know, power for competitive
advantage from that front.
1369
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,520
So I feel like we've been a
little bit behind on those
1370
01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:00,000
things, some of those cosmetic
things that I think do have
1371
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,440
small influences over, you know,
players.
1372
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,360
And now we're in a situation
where we've got to weigh that,
1373
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:10,880
investing in that, investing in
staff, potentially overhauling a
1374
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:16,480
staff partially this offseason
with still fully investing in
1375
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:21,120
bringing in as many high quality
athletes as we can with NIO and
1376
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,000
that's a tough place to be in.
It it really is a tough place to
1377
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,840
be in.
It is a changing landscape,
1378
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:33,120
something that really we have
not seen in our lifetimes when
1379
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,760
it comes to this.
And again, how they go about it
1380
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:40,400
really over the next two or
three years is going to
1381
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,160
determine where Virginia Tech
stands at the end of it.
1382
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:48,080
And you know, we can say, well,
the if the product isn't good,
1383
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,120
you know, people are going to
get sick and tired of it.
1384
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,280
But but boys, I'll say this.
Take a look at some of those
1385
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,360
passionate fan bases across this
country.
1386
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,040
They don't have good teams.
Look at Mississippi State out
1387
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:05,120
there all the time screaming for
their team and they have not
1388
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:09,400
even been damn SEC championship
game.
1389
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,480
Think about that.
So how are you going to compete
1390
01:21:14,480 --> 01:21:18,320
with that?
How are you going to get upset
1391
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,280
and say, well, we need to just
go ahead and start cutting all
1392
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,920
this stuff off?
You really can't.
1393
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,880
That's my opinion.
It might not be one that people
1394
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,240
like a lot.
So kind of is what it is.
1395
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,480
All right, so let's move on
y'all and let's get down to big
1396
01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:39,000
screeners where it's always
going to be a lot of fun.
1397
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,200
And for this week, hold up
Brian, you didn't send me the
1398
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,320
four.
I don't know who's winning, I
1399
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,040
don't know who's losing.
Just know we're all out there
1400
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:53,040
floating around 500 somewhere.
So if you bet with us, you might
1401
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,240
win, you might lose.
That's all I'm going to say.
1402
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,040
But Brian on where you going on
this one?
1403
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,480
And we're heading to College
Station, baby.
1404
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:12,040
We are heading out there.
A&M is a six point home dog to
1405
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,800
Texas.
And you know what I think I
1406
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,120
think Vegas got that about
right.
1407
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,640
I think it's going to be about a
touchdown win for the Longhorns
1408
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,320
to give me Texas here all.
Right, this is a massive games
1409
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:29,600
when it comes to really the
playoffs implications.
1410
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,000
The winner of this game goes to
the SEC championship.
1411
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,400
It's going to be Saturday night.
It's going to be 112,000 people
1412
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,480
at Kyle Field.
I like Texas A&M getting 6
1413
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:45,120
points, but I don't think
they're going to win.
1414
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:49,920
I think Texas is going to take
this by field goal. 3128 Texas
1415
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:54,960
wins, A&M covers Sheldon.
Yeah, I think Texas is going to
1416
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,080
smack him around a little bit.
I think it'll be relatively
1417
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,560
close, but Texas will cover.
I just don't like the way AM is
1418
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:05,880
playing right now all.
Righty and I am on an island
1419
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,360
here.
On an island, baby.
1420
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,680
Everybody else Tally, Miranda
and Jason says hook em forms.
1421
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:16,360
Where are we going, Curtis?
We are going to Athens, GA for a
1422
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,320
little clean, old fashioned
hate.
1423
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:24,160
Georgia Bulldogs home team
getting 19 1/2 points versus
1424
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,840
Georgia Tech.
And, and on this one, Georgia
1425
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,720
already locked into the SEC
championship game.
1426
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,320
But I don't think they can.
They cannot.
1427
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,200
They can.
I'll afford to take it out of
1428
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:37,640
conference loss at 9:00 and
2:00.
1429
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:42,000
They cannot go nine and three.
But Georgia Tech has fought
1430
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,360
everybody tooth and nail all
year.
1431
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,840
The game last year was tooth and
nail.
1432
01:23:48,480 --> 01:23:52,120
So one thing I was looking at
and I want to see where it is
1433
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:58,240
because I got a feeling we're
going to all stick on here, is I
1434
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:03,920
think Haines King is going to
play, which is pretty big for
1435
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:08,560
them.
He's dated he's day-to-day, but
1436
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,840
I think 19 1/2 is too much.
Georgia at some point has to
1437
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,720
decide probably to turn the The
Jets off because what you do not
1438
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,880
want happening is somebody to
break their leg or some serious
1439
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,600
injury happen.
Give me Georgia Tech, it's 19
1440
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,360
1/2.
Georgia still wins, but closer
1441
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,080
than what the experts out in
Vegas think.
1442
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,880
Yeah, they got this one wrong.
To me, I think that's going to
1443
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,600
be about A2 touchdown win for
Georgia.
1444
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,600
I think Georgia Tech's going to
keep it close.
1445
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,320
You know, Georgia might pull
away a little bit at the end.
1446
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,000
I don't think it's going to be,
you know, worth 3 scores there.
1447
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,040
So I want to take Georgia Tech
as well.
1448
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,480
Sean.
Yeah, I'm taking Georgia Tech
1449
01:24:48,480 --> 01:24:51,120
also.
I just don't trust Georgia's
1450
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,800
offense enough to really kind of
beat him up that bad.
1451
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,360
And I think Georgia Tech, you
know, they've got enough, they
1452
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,640
got enough, enough talent to
give within, you know, 3
1453
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,440
touchdowns.
That defense is going to keep
1454
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:02,120
them in the game.
It's it's going to make it
1455
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,080
pretty close.
It really is.
1456
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,800
And Talley says Georgia Tech,
Georgia Tech off the board, they
1457
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:14,520
have officially been cursed.
They got the kiss of death man.
1458
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:22,040
The the the full BCP wagon here.
All righty, let's go next down
1459
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:26,720
to Death Valley, Clemson, SC.
This is Tally's pick y'all.
1460
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:28,560
And hang on, hang on.
That's.
1461
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,240
Not the oh, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry.
1462
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:31,480
Let's go.
Let's.
1463
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:36,200
Go to Shelton.
Let's go 15 miles that way.
1464
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,480
We got a big a big time game
this weekend in the Commonwealth
1465
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:43,520
Lee High playing Richmond in the
first round of the FCS playoffs.
1466
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,960
For those who don't know, the
FCS playoffs get started this
1467
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,880
weekend.
Montana State is the one seed.
1468
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,080
They had an undefeated regular
season and they are #1 in the
1469
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,080
FCS polls for the first time in
10 years.
1470
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,480
The usual behemoths of the FCS.
North Dakota State is 2 seed and
1471
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,320
South Coast State is a three
seed, so it should be a pretty
1472
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,800
interesting field.
I think Richmond is a nine seed.
1473
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,800
So they did get seeded.
The top 12 teams have a seed and
1474
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:15,360
yeah, some, some, you know, high
ups for the Spiders this year as
1475
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,240
they try to advance past the
second round of playoffs.
1476
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,440
Last two seasons for Richmond,
they have won their first round
1477
01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:25,120
games by a total of 63 points.
Their head coach is Russ
1478
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,600
Huesman, who was formerly at
Chattanooga and is as in his
1479
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,840
eighth season with the program.
So good game.
1480
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,600
I think it'll be fairly close.
The winner of this one will play
1481
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,000
Idaho all the way out in Moscow
and head over to the Kiddie
1482
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,680
Kiddie Dome next week for the
second round.
1483
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:43,840
But with all that being said, I
will take Richmond.
1484
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,080
I like how they how they played
in the first round of the
1485
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:47,320
playoffs these last couple of
years.
1486
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,400
I think they'll have no trouble
putting away the Mountain Hawks,
1487
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,520
and they'll advance to Idaho
next week.
1488
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,400
You know what I'm riding with, I
ride with Richmond as well.
1489
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,120
I got to got to keep it local
here and and and ride with the
1490
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,280
with the home team.
Those mountain hawk let that
1491
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:03,920
logo is something.
I like that thing.
1492
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,040
Cool logo.
Cool logo, but the spiders have
1493
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:19,560
always had a cool logo.
My father in Give him 21.
1494
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:24,200
Yeah, yeah.
And I think.
1495
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,080
We cursed them again.
We cursed them again.
1496
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,280
We cursed.
Them again if they lose.
1497
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,480
Spiders going down.
If, if, if, if they do, it's
1498
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:34,840
going to be on us.
Yeah, by the way, you from from
1499
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,280
Jason.
Jason was like kind of gamblers
1500
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,320
picking is kind of betting on
this game.
1501
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,280
Well, he's got to understand
Shelton's love for the FCS.
1502
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,280
By the way, let's just be
honest.
1503
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:50,080
Wouldn't it be nice to get to
1616?
1504
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,840
Nobody gets a bye.
There's no more conference
1505
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,000
championship games just starts
next week.
1506
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:59,120
They play 1, you skip 1, you
play 1, you get to the bowls at
1507
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,040
home fields.
I'd be down with that.
1508
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,920
I'd be sick as shit.
We'll get there eventually.
1509
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,320
There we go.
Eventually, yeah, it's, it's
1510
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,400
more games, it's more money.
Of course we're going to get
1511
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,640
there eventually.
I think, I think we'll get there
1512
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:17,240
once the the full power for
whatever split, whatever the
1513
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:21,280
fuck that happens with that,
whenever that officially takes
1514
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,160
place, I think that's when we'll
get to 16, but we'll see.
1515
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,800
We will see.
All righty, let's go next.
1516
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,920
This time we're going to
Clemson, SC, where it is the
1517
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,840
Ballaloo of the Palmetto State.
Also a battle in my cousin's
1518
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,880
household.
Wife loves Clemson, he went to
1519
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:39,640
South Carolina.
Son goes to South Carolina.
1520
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,280
Mom loves Clemson.
I don't want to be in that
1521
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:43,680
house.
He's never invited me over for
1522
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,000
Thanksgiving, for Thanksgiving.
I will never go down there
1523
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,760
because I do not want to slip
through the fighting of this
1524
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:51,080
game.
This is a big game in a lot of
1525
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,360
senses because we mentioned just
a couple minutes ago, Clemson is
1526
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,920
the last team out South
Carolina.
1527
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,240
I think I had it up here in my
damn web browser.
1528
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,880
Crash.
South Carolina is like 15th and
1529
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,640
people are thinking that South
Carolina may be able to slip in
1530
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,000
the back door and get in the
playoff.
1531
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,320
I do not think that is possible
at all.
1532
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,720
But Clemson's also a Sid and
wait because Miami plays
1533
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:23,040
Syracuse and what happens if
Syracuse wins and beats Miami on
1534
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,800
Saturday?
I don't know, right?
1535
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:32,280
Y'all don't know is.
That Clemson goes to the down to
1536
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,680
Charlotte.
Clemson goes to Charlotte if the
1537
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:40,360
Syracuse, Yep, they pull it off.
So Brian, what's your take on
1538
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,360
this one?
You know, it's interesting you
1539
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,960
talked about South Carolina.
I will say this about South
1540
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:51,360
Carolina is that if there's a
three loss team that makes it,
1541
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,360
it might be South Carolina.
Yeah, the way it's lining up,
1542
01:29:55,480 --> 01:29:58,040
right?
So if there's a three loss team
1543
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,120
that makes it, South Carolina is
going to be the one.
1544
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,400
But I don't think they get past
the Tigers here.
1545
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,280
I think the Tigers role, it's
not going to be a big victory,
1546
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,360
but I think it's going to be
about a about a touchdown win
1547
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:12,360
for the Tigers.
I am with you on this. 2 1/2 is
1548
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,920
not enough.
I think South Carolina, it's
1549
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,880
going to be a competitive game.
It probably is going to be an
1550
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,400
entertaining game.
The game should not be at noon,
1551
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,040
which I think it is on Saturday.
That's a bunch of garbage.
1552
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,080
It should be later in the day,
but you know I don't control the
1553
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:30,680
TV and where you put the games.
Shane and the boys keep it
1554
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:37,520
close, but Clemson wins by 10.
Give me 3323.
1555
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,960
Compounding the stakes,
obviously, if Miami wins next
1556
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,120
this upcoming week, Clemson
won't be able to get another
1557
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:46,520
chance for winning the
conference title game.
1558
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,400
Which means, of course, that if
the Tigers lose, their playoffs
1559
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,720
are very much in the balance.
So big game.
1560
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,960
I think the team kind of knows,
you know, the expectations.
1561
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,040
They've dominated this rivalry
the past decade or so, lost a
1562
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:00,920
couple years ago.
So they'll be pretty focused to
1563
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,280
like get that home win again.
So I'm taking Clemson.
1564
01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:09,120
There we go, Tally riding with
Clemson as well.
1565
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:14,160
Miranda with the Cox.
Miranda, Ron and Jason with the
1566
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,040
hey put up that Robbie message
real quick.
1567
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:17,920
Let.
Me.
1568
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:18,880
Find it here.
Hang on.
1569
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,560
My cousin is T, He is going to
be proud of you.
1570
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,440
Twizzler Go Cox.
Twizzler is a story.
1571
01:31:28,440 --> 01:31:31,360
Maybe one day, maybe a state of
the program gets told.
1572
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:33,960
What do you think, Robbie?
Can we tell?
1573
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,040
Him we got, we got about a month
away, man.
1574
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,800
It might happen this year,
depending on how much I drink.
1575
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,560
The story of why Robbie is known
as Twizzler to my cousin.
1576
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,760
All right, where are we going
next?
1577
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:52,480
Who is the next one?
Oh, hey, State and Iowa State is
1578
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:55,560
Miranda's game.
And I have been trying to pull
1579
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,560
this up, but my computer over
here has been a pain in the ass.
1580
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:02,560
So the Big 12 is in flux because
it's like four teams with two
1581
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,840
losses, and this is a huge one
on Saturday.
1582
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,480
So no team in the Big 12
controls their own destiny.
1583
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:17,360
I, I will say the message that
we're getting from the committee
1584
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:22,720
at this point is that, you know,
four teams from SEC or, or Big
1585
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,840
10 or BN before 2 teams from the
Big 12.
1586
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,520
That that's kind of the message.
That's kind of the message we're
1587
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:33,360
getting right now, which is kind
of, it's kind of wild, but it's,
1588
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,800
that's kind of where we are in
the process here.
1589
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,080
We'll see how it plays out over
the next couple weeks.
1590
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:44,520
But for this one, I'm rolling
with Iowa State here.
1591
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:49,320
I think 3 at home isn't enough.
If that was at 5 1/2, I'd
1592
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,200
probably still take it.
I think this is going to be
1593
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,040
about a touchdown victory here
for the the Cyclones.
1594
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:56,400
All right.
Are you ready to hear the
1595
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,080
scenarios, Bron?
Yeah.
1596
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,200
So watching Saturday, so if
everybody wins Arizona State,
1597
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:06,040
BYU, Iowa State, Colorado,
Arizona State, Iowa State in the
1598
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:13,160
championship game, if exactly 2
of that group win, the two
1599
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,480
winners will meet in the Big 12
championship game.
1600
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,840
OK, Yep, that makes sense.
Yep, that makes sense.
1601
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:22,760
So you've ruled, you've ruled
out the everybody wins or only
1602
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,320
two wins.
Now give me the middle.
1603
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:25,960
The middle.
Is a shit ton.
1604
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,960
Arizona State, BYU and Iowa
State win and Colorado takes the
1605
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,000
loss.
Arizona State, Iowa State,
1606
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:38,600
Arizona State BYU.
Colorado win, Iowa State loses.
1607
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:45,560
Arizona State, BYU BYU Iowa
State, Colorado win Arizona
1608
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,840
State loses.
Iowa State, BYU.
1609
01:33:50,440 --> 01:33:52,240
All right, here we go.
Last one.
1610
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,960
Arizona State, Iowa State,
Colorado wins and BYU loses.
1611
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:05,040
Could be either Colorado or Iowa
State or Colorado, Arizona
1612
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,760
State.
So they are really pulling for a
1613
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,040
BYU loss and everybody else to
win.
1614
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:15,160
Then it comes Texas Tech has to
beat West Virginia, Baylor has
1615
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:19,320
to beat Kansas, and Cincinnati
has to beat TCU.
1616
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,400
If that's the case, Colorado,
Iowa State.
1617
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:26,320
If Texas Tech wins and the other
two or one of the other two
1618
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:31,800
lose, then it's Colorado.
Arizona State, if I got that.
1619
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,560
No, hey.
By the way, I just want to let
1620
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:37,920
y'all know though.
But because we're going to a
1621
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,520
playoff, things aren't as
important anymore to lead into
1622
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:45,720
the season.
The whole fucking Big 12 begs to
1623
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:48,320
differ.
Dumbasses out there.
1624
01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:51,800
Oh I'm supposed to pick a game?
Iowa State easily wins this one.
1625
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,920
Sheldon, what you got?
Yeah, I think, I think the Big
1626
01:34:57,920 --> 01:34:59,360
12 cannibalize itself a little
bit.
1627
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,320
So I'm taking Gay State a big
win, big win last week for them.
1628
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:05,680
Iowa State I there's something
about him.
1629
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:07,680
I just don't trust him for
whatever reason.
1630
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:09,080
So I think I think K State wins
all.
1631
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:10,520
Right.
K State wins.
1632
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,960
OK, he's got K State win.
I'm trying to find the one over
1633
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:21,560
here where Iowa State loses Ron.
Tally's got Iowa State,
1634
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:25,320
Miranda's rod with Shelton,
Jason's riding with us Buddy
1635
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,560
all.
Right, so you want the Arizona,
1636
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,720
you want to see the Arizona
State BYU rematch, the Hail Mary
1637
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,080
that got caught at the three
yard line might explain why you
1638
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:42,320
don't get in zone on that play.
Oh man, last but not least
1639
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,320
would.
You who would have seen this at
1640
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:50,360
the beginning of the season?
With Jason to put possibility
1641
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:54,720
but who would have seen every
other game that we picked has.
1642
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,520
But I'm talking about this line,
Not, not, not the fucking game,
1643
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,120
but this fucking line.
No, no.
1644
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,000
Couldn't see that happening. 3
1/2 maybe, but not that big.
1645
01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:11,480
But it's kind of funny Jason
comes over here and chooses this
1646
01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:14,080
game.
A massive line and the only one
1647
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,560
that has nothing riding on it.
Nothing matters.
1648
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,640
Nothing fucking matters in this
game.
1649
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,280
So go ahead.
This is for pride of Florida,
1650
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:48,120
baby.
Hey folks, welcome back to
1651
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,400
another week of guitar licks and
gambling picks.
1652
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,920
It is rivalry week and I wanted
to send some good vibes down to
1653
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,520
Blacksburg for the Hoagies.
Hopefully they can finish the
1654
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,600
season off on a high note get
themselves bowl eligible.
1655
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,400
Unfortunately, Virginia does not
allow you to bet on in State
1656
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:09,760
Games, so therefore I'm going to
have to pick another game and
1657
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,840
for that I'm looking down to
Florida Tallahassee specifically
1658
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:17,480
for the match up between Florida
and Florida State that growing
1659
01:37:17,480 --> 01:37:19,920
up this used to be my favorite
game of the year.
1660
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,400
Both of these teams used to be
really good.
1661
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,800
They would usually be in the top
five and the winner often went
1662
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:28,280
to the national championship
game.
1663
01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:32,160
None of that is true this year,
however, Florida has turned
1664
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:35,160
things around quite
significantly that a big win
1665
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:38,360
last week against Ole Miss
Florida State however, is
1666
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,080
wrapping up what has to be
called the season from hell.
1667
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:45,160
My guess is they want to end it
as quickly as possible and I
1668
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,880
think that's exactly what
Florida is going to do to them
1669
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,600
this weekend.
So therefore I am taking Florida
1670
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:59,120
-13 1/2 on the road against
Florida State, which of course
1671
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,640
means I get another chance to
play some Tom Petty.
1672
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:53,360
Oh yes, you
do.
1673
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:57,360
All right folks, let's go Gators
-13 1/2 and let's go Hokies.
1674
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,920
I'll see you all next week for
Championship week.
1675
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:07,920
All righty, he's going Gators
laying a bunch of points.
1676
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,160
Brian, what are you doing?
I'm doing the exact same damn
1677
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,760
thing because Florida State
cannot get out of their own way.
1678
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,560
Florida's really kind of looking
a lot better in the last month
1679
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,280
or so.
So I feel a little bit confident
1680
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,640
about that.
I think, you know, 17 points
1681
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:25,360
sounds about right for that
victory there.
1682
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,160
I think the Gators will take
care of business.
1683
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:32,680
I think 17's being nice and
generous because.
1684
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,320
Rivalry factors in there.
Rivalry factors in there, but I
1685
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:37,760
get you.
I think Florida State's quit
1686
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,560
all.
Right, Florida State beat
1687
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,800
Charleston Southern 34 to 3:00
last Saturday.
1688
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:49,000
Charleston Southern is was one
and nine, 1:00 and 9:00.
1689
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,280
You knew what the score was with
about two minutes left in the
1690
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,560
first half.
I sent it to you.
1691
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,120
Yeah, Yeah, do.
You see, Sheldon, it was three
1692
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,560
to nothing.
Yeah, Water State, it was three
1693
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:06,320
to nothing.
Gators by at least 28.
1694
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,000
I do, I do think Florida State
will come out more motivated
1695
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,320
than they have been in previous
games, but I just, I don't think
1696
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:17,240
they stand even remotely any
sort of chance.
1697
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,240
I think I think Florida's a lot
better than people think.
1698
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,000
You know, they've, I obviously
feel like neighbour has been the
1699
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,320
subject of much criticism, but
you know, he's done a really
1700
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,440
good job turning that chip
around, keeping things afloat.
1701
01:40:25,440 --> 01:40:27,360
They've got a couple of really
big wins these past two weeks.
1702
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:30,120
So I think Florida State or
Florida, excuse me, rolls
1703
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,920
easily.
Yeah, I mean, really good effort
1704
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:37,160
to keep that, that ship going
because, you know, with some of
1705
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,440
the expectations attached to
Florida just being Florida and
1706
01:40:40,440 --> 01:40:42,280
kind of the way that season
started off, they could have
1707
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:46,720
easily just kind of, you know,
checked out mid to late October
1708
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:48,920
and they didn't do that.
So kudos to them.
1709
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,120
Tally's riding with you with us
as well.
1710
01:40:52,440 --> 01:40:54,800
So is Miranda, and obviously we
know what Jason's doing.
1711
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:59,440
So across the board here, taking
Florida, is this the kiss of
1712
01:40:59,440 --> 01:41:01,200
death?
I mean, that's what that's three
1713
01:41:01,440 --> 01:41:04,040
that we've 3.
Put the big board up there.
1714
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:06,560
You always have it ready.
Put the big board up there.
1715
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:08,640
So three across the board we've
got.
1716
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,680
Two islands.
Yeah, two islands and then we
1717
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,960
got the yeah 4/2 with the Iowa
State, K State.
1718
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:21,480
If you bet with us this week,
you pretty much bet with
1719
01:41:21,480 --> 01:41:23,080
everybody.
We all, we're all going to
1720
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:25,240
suffer the same fate one way or
the other.
1721
01:41:25,480 --> 01:41:27,360
And I think these, you know,
like we said, most of these
1722
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,640
games have some stakes attached
to them, except for the last
1723
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,400
one.
And the last was just a, a fun
1724
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,120
one to to look at.
You got a, you got a weird line
1725
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:38,000
in a rivalry game, but you got a
team that, you know, in Florida
1726
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,080
that's been playing a lot better
and you got a team in Florida
1727
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,760
State that's basically been
checked out since the middle of
1728
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:43,720
October.
So it's.
1729
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:45,920
True.
It's going to be kind of weird
1730
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,960
to see where that one goes, but
it's, it's a, it's a fun slate
1731
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,480
this weekend, I think.
I mean, it's always awesome to
1732
01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:54,240
have Jason pull out the
Telecaster and play some.
1733
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:56,760
Yeah, yeah.
We, we hadn't got that all year.
1734
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,680
We wouldn't, you know, mostly.
And you know what we found out,
1735
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:00,520
though?
What's that?
1736
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,360
You.
Can play the Telecaster and
1737
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,200
record it for the live stream.
It is not.
1738
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:08,920
It sounds great.
Yeah, Kelly sounds great, Jason.
1739
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,400
Yeah, keep that.
Shut up, y'all got anything else
1740
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:17,640
y'all want to hit before we wrap
this up and head into the head
1741
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:21,920
into the most consumed alcohol
day of the year?
1742
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,960
Yeah, Wednesday, guys.
So it's, and I, you know, I
1743
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,080
don't know if it's still this
way, but when, when me and
1744
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:33,400
Curtis were coming up, the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving
1745
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:37,600
was like one of those like just
fun, fun nights.
1746
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:41,120
You always ended up like waking
up to a hangover, whether you,
1747
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,840
whether it's like high school
or, or or college, coming home
1748
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,360
to visit, you wake up with a
hangover.
1749
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:48,680
You got, you know, smell the
food starting to cook.
1750
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:52,040
You got to go down there and
like nurse your hangover while
1751
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,440
you're helping out with food and
getting the house ready for
1752
01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:57,080
folks to come over.
So it's, it's, it's a fun day.
1753
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:01,520
I hope everybody consumes
responsibly tomorrow and, and
1754
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,400
Thursday if they, they plan on
partaking with families.
1755
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:08,840
So just want to say happy
Thanksgiving to everybody out
1756
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:12,760
there and we're going to see if
the Hoagies can can get both
1757
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:15,160
eligible this Saturday.
Sheldon.
1758
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,560
Go Hokies.
Go Hokies.
1759
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:21,720
Yeah, everybody.
Talk about this real quick.
1760
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:23,120
Do we want to talk before we
wrap it up?
1761
01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:26,240
Matt Brown got fired today but
he gets to coach against NZS 8
1762
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:28,280
and he gets to coach the ball.
We don't get to coach ball game.
1763
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,440
Probably not, no.
I I think they left that
1764
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:34,520
undetermined, but more than
likely no.
1765
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,040
I mean.
It's not a shocker.
1766
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,000
I mean, it's surprised it didn't
happen a couple years ago.
1767
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:43,240
It's surprising it didn't happen
a couple years ago.
1768
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:46,800
It's surprising that it happened
mid season after they rolled
1769
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:49,040
into the season with, you know,
sticking with them.
1770
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,400
I thought they if they started
the season with them, they were
1771
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:52,840
going to end with the season
with them.
1772
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,120
All things considered.
There I mean it.
1773
01:43:56,240 --> 01:44:00,920
It's not quite the, you know,
the graceful transfer of of
1774
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:05,000
power here.
You know, Mac, you know, for
1775
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:09,000
the, yeah, all the shit that I
think we've given Mack and we've
1776
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,560
given Mack a bunch of shit.
I mean, he didn't have to come
1777
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:13,560
back to UNC and give this thing
a go.
1778
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:19,000
So, you know, kudos for the
effort there.
1779
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:24,760
But it'll it'll be nice having
some of that that recruiting not
1780
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,040
in our backyard again.
We'll see what, what UNC, you
1781
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,120
know, pulls out of their ass in
terms of their next head
1782
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,560
coaching hire here.
But they're kind of one of the
1783
01:44:34,440 --> 01:44:39,840
one of the 1st, you know, P4
teams out the gate looking for
1784
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,240
a, for a head coach here rolling
in the offseason.
1785
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:47,080
So they have a, you know, pretty
good position to be in from that
1786
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:48,560
perspective.
Yep.
1787
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,840
And the only thing, let me tell
you, the first thing I did when
1788
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:56,200
they I saw you was fired, I went
to the UNC coaching page.
1789
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,480
Is anybody worth a shit here
that we can hire?
1790
01:44:59,880 --> 01:45:04,000
That's all I did that is TVD.
Curtis said Mack Brown,
1791
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,120
consultant to the head coach.
He's never been a she's been
1792
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,600
never been that shitty of your
game manager could tell price
1793
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:11,360
somewhat.
I was also looking position
1794
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,280
coaches too.
It's just what I'm doing.
1795
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:18,120
Oh man, interesting, interesting
put that up right there.
1796
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:23,480
That would be very interesting.
All right hour 46 in the book.
1797
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:27,480
We appreciate y'all watching
everybody have a happy save
1798
01:45:27,480 --> 01:45:30,000
Thanksgiving.
If you drink, call an Uber, call
1799
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,680
a friend.
Don't do that bullshit.
