So definitely put that out there

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,720
We have arrived boys.
It only took one.

21
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,680
How?
How?

22
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,600
It felt like forever.
It felt like forever.

23
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,880
It's probably only like 20 some
weeks, but it felt like forever.

24
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,160
20 weeks now.
Hold on.

25
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760
More than 20 weeks now.
More than 20 weeks because it

26
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:24,760
was raining like cats and dogs
on December 29th. 30 weeks. 30

27
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,720
weeks.
Call it 30.

28
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Weeks, 30 weeks, 30 weeks.
But how's everybody been,

29
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Sheldon?
How you doing man?

30
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Dude, I've been busy.
I've trying to enter back into

31
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
the workforce, been applying to
some jobs, got some pretty good

32
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,720
leads.
That's some pretty cool places.

33
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320
So excited about that and
hopefully moving out here pretty

34
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,240
soon.
But yeah, I've just been

35
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,040
enjoying enjoying the summer off
and can't wait to to get back to

36
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,680
the football season.
I'll be in rally with some

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,120
friends this weekend, so
watching the game from there.

38
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,520
So I'm pretty excited about it.
Nice tally.

39
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,240
I know man.
You were mentioned just a couple

40
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,680
seconds ago.
Your house is pretty much going

41
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,840
wild right now, right?
Man, we got football going on.

42
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,680
My son, my daughter's in
college.

43
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,640
We still got baseball that we're
doing.

44
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,240
We're going to some camps for
baseball this this fall.

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,600
So we got to do that.
We are getting ready to head to

46
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,800
Nashville.
That is four day weekend, going

47
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760
to be off Friday, going to be
off Monday.

48
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,080
And then my wife got sent home
from work last night or

49
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,680
yesterday sick.
So we're trying to nurse

50
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840
everybody to health and make
sure everybody's good to go so

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120
we can have a pleasant time in
Nashville.

52
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,960
Yeah y'all don't need to be sick
and everything going to the game

53
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920
and so she just don't need to
work the rest of the week she

54
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,560
got.
I think it's I think it's over

55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,160
for her.
I'm sleeping upstairs though.

56
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Yeah, about to say you got you
y'all, not you got to be awake

57
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,880
because I know if she's still
sick come Friday, she he's going

58
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
to be like I love you but
deuces.

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,520
I got to go.
I got to.

60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,960
I got to go.
Mr. Siegler, what time's the

61
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,560

00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,520

8:20.

64
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,240
So I'm excited.
It's going to be a pretty,

65
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,200
pretty heavy, heavy time down
there.

66
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,560
We got kind of thing stacked
wall to wall as far as

67
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640
activities and stuff on
Thursday, on Friday and then we

68
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,800
got the game on Saturday and
then after that I I really don't

69
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,120
have anything kind of books.
I'm just going to really enjoy

70
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
the rest of the town.
Well that's good to hear man

71
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,560
Y'all y'all definitely enjoy it
down there as much as y'all can

72
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,080
because it should be an absolute
blast.

73
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,560
I know tons of friends of the
podcast are going to be there.

74
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,000
I know.
Are y'all going to the Suns

75
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880
event on Friday night?
I will be there.

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,760
You'll be there, Tyler, you

77
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320
Planning on it.
I'm planning on it now, yeah.

78
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
So definitely if you're in town,
they will be at our buddies at

79
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,840
the Sons of Saturday's Pre
party.

80
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,720
Now listen, I'm gonna be
straight up with y'all.

81
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,960
We ain't young bucks anymore.
Y'all need to get to the hotel

82
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,120
by 9, OK y'all?
Y'all got it?

83
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,720
Y'all got to do it.
If not because this is an 11:00

84
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,200
AM kick.
This ain't like yeah.

85
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,640
So it's.
Going to be early man.

86
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,280
Hey hey, the event is 6 to 9.
I'm planning on leaving the

87
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,960
event, going back to the hotel,
going to bed good.

88
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Not necessarily going to bed
right away, but I will be at the

89
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,800
hotel.
He said.

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,600
He said he ain't got no kids.
He ain't got no kids though.

91
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,320
He ain't going to straight to
bed.

92
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,360
I.
Hear you, man.

93
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,040
I hear you.
All right.

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,440
Well fellas, real quick news and
note the guys already know about

95
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880
it, but we kind of wanted to
make a quick introduction here

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,240
use a note from Boundary Corner
podcast is we are probably

97
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920
announcing a partnership with
the contributor by the name of

98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Miranda.
Well, Miranda already writes for

99
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Draft Countdown native of RBA
here.

100
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,160
She is going to join us on the
podcast hopefully either next

101
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,280
week or the week after.
She had some prior engagements

102
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,760
this week.
But here's what the deal is.

103
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,480
She is going to be putting out
some great written content on

104
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,240
our website every now and again.
You can go ahead and check out

105
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,160
on the website.
She's already there.

106
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,920
See a little background on her.
Also her socials.

107
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,760
If you want to follow her, she's
got a pretty good social media

108
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,080
account.
I got to say pretty, pretty

109
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,160
witty on her account.
But it's something that we've

110
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,760
been working at for a while here
to try to get someone on, and we

111
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,600
are proud to have her join us.
So be looking out for that

112
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240
stuff.
Brian, you have a visitor in the

113
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
room there, just so you know.
Yeah, yeah.

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,160
It's it's, it's the nighttime
zoomies, man.

115
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,240
There you go.
He's getting it in all.

116
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,160
Right, well, let's start.
We got a lot of stuff we are

117
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,040
going to do know the enemy in a
little while here.

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,200
But we got to start.
Today is the first time all fall

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,320
we saw a depth chart, a depth
chart.

120
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,800
So I just want to kick it around
this room.

121
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,280
Jonathan Talley, I am going to
start with you.

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Surprises, shocks.
What were you happy with?

123
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680
What made you mad?
I mean, nothing really

124
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,000
surprising.
I think it kind of shook out how

125
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,920
it's supposed to.
First game we put your best foot

126
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,560
forward, Benji starting, which
is what I about thought, You

127
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,960
know, I'd like to see Nick be a
leader in that room.

128
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,440
But kind of like I said when we
talked last week, I mean, we

129
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720
don't know what Nick has, man.
He's coming off of an injury and

130
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,880
we've seen Nick play and we've
seen Benji play, you know, so I

131
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320
think we're in good hands.
I don't, I don't have a, you

132
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,640
know, I don't, I don't see
anything wrong with what

133
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840
happened in the tight end room.
So I'm excited about that

134
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000
because that's, you know, that's
my my group.

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
So I'm excited to see what kind
of production we get out of

136
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,560
those guys.
But other than that, man, I

137
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,560
mean, Bob's on the bench.
He's going to be a good, good

138
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,640
depth piece for us, so I might.
Sean, what about you?

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,240
Any shocks, any surprises?
Anything that stood out to you?

140
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Yeah, I was pretty surprised to
see Braylon Moore get the nod at

141
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,600
center and then shift Kaden to
to right guard.

142
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,440
I know they worked with some of
those combos earlier, but yeah,

143
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,400
I mean, kind of just doing a
little bit of shuffling.

144
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,680
The only thing I could think of
how that would impact you is if,

145
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,360
you know, the the snap comes out
differently from different

146
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,920
players.
So obviously the guys are used

147
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,400
to, you know, seeing Kaden snap.
So they're gonna have to adjust

148
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400
the seeing Braylon snap.
And I'm sure they got some

149
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,320
practice with it, but that might
be a little bit of an adjustment

150
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,080
early on to to watch out for in
the season is how they snap the

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,840
ball.
All right, Brian, what about

152
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,160
you?
Anything on the depth chart?

153
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Biggest surprise to me, I I was
very interested to see who was

154
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,679
going to be that will starter.
I know we talked about that a

155
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,799
lot.
We saw the the Jayden Keller

156
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:43,919
experiment is back for one more
year, baby, one more year, one

157
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,520
more year, the Jayden Keller
experiment.

158
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,440
So we'll see if it sticks this
year.

159
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,480
You got you got Kelly Lawson
right behind him at will.

160
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,040
I imagine we're going to see
Kelly Lawson line up at least at

161
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,000
will and star on any given down
and we'll see if he works in at

162
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,160
at Mike as well on some of the
some some of those packages that

163
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920
we put out there.
But that was the most

164
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,480
interesting thing to me because,
and I don't know how much of

165
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
that has to do with, you know,
Kelly missing most of the spring

166
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,240
there or or what, but we're
going to see Jaden Keller at

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
least in the front end of that
will position one more year.

168
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,760
And I'm hoping that having good
old Sam, that Mike linebacker is

169
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,160
going to be some of the pieces
falling together for him.

170
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,120
Because it's never really been
about the physical attributes.

171
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,760
It's always been about what's up
here.

172
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,360
It just seemed like sometimes he
just didn't get it.

173
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,440
And and hopefully having
somebody like Sam in the middle

174
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,160
is going to help with that.
Yeah, that's where the hope is

175
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,560
right.
It's more if he doesn't have to

176
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,240
think, just go instincts when
you're at the weak side

177
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640
position.
Let Sam do the calls.

178
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,320
We know Sam, if you didn't see
the interview earlier today with

179
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,200
Sam Brumfield, a little press
conference, Sam's going to have

180
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,520
the the communicators in his
ears.

181
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,200
So he's going to hear all the
calls from Marv.

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,440
While it is going to be GA
responsibility, whoever is going

183
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,440
to be the will is going to be
responsibility to look on the

184
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,440
sideline to make sure all the
calls are coming in right.

185
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,560
For me, there were really three
things that caught my eye.

186
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,840
The first one is a defensive
tackle, Kelvin Gilliam getting

187
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,960
the OR with Josh Fuga.
There had been, you know, we,

188
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,760
we, we saw Gilliam looked OK in
the spring but didn't jump.

189
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,760
But clearly something between
summer and fall camp,

190
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,720
something's clicking.
He's now effectively the de

191
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880
facto starter.
I'm glad to see CJ McRae on the

192
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,720
depth chart after the leg
injury.

193
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840
It's good to have him there.
But here's the other one that

194
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120
kind of caught my eye.
Look over to wide receiver room.

195
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,360
We talked about that last week.
We kept mentioning names.

196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Take a look who the too deep is
effectively in the slot to Cahi.

197
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,320
The Cahit has kindly gotten a
little bit lost in the in the

198
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,680
shuffle of everything over the
last year with, you know, the

199
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,960
amazing recruits that came in
and some of the other guys

200
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,440
stepping up.
So he's continuing to fight,

201
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,640
show good things in practice.
So that is mine.

202
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Anything else from y'all just as
y'all are glancing at it or

203
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,240
thinking about it again.
Not really.

204
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,840
Man, not really, man.
I mean, I think, you know, I

205
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,080
think things kind of shook out
about the way we thought they

206
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,680
would, all things considered.
When you look at the news that

207
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,640
was coming out during fall camp,
you know, we kind of knew that.

208
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,080
Yeah, they were, they were doing
some different things.

209
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,360
They were shaking up the
offensive line.

210
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200
So we expected maybe a change
there and not just running it

211
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,280
back with the crew that we had
last year.

212
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,280
You know, they talked a lot
about what was going on with

213
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,600
different guys playing at
different places at linebackers.

214
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,000
So we knew to expect maybe some
action there.

215
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Curtis, I'm kind of with you.
Like the, the, the, I think Taka

216
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Heath is probably the biggest
surprise, at least on the

217
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,440
offensive side, just because I
don't know if we've heard a ton

218
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,280
about him outside of special
teams.

219
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,240
So seeing him in that depth
chart is is pretty interesting.

220
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,840
All righty.
All right.

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Well, we're going to roll along
because what goes along with the

222
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,160
depth chart is if as we look, if
you just look through the depth

223
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,760
chart, it's so many names.
And Sheldon, we know you've done

224
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,880
some reading and some research
about S&P.

225
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Give us that final breakdown
that came out from Bill

226
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,440
Connolly.
What caught your eye and what it

227
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,680
really says about the potential
of this team?

228
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Yeah, So Hokies came in 36
overall in the the final

229
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,560
preseason SP plus rankings,
which is pretty solid.

230
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:41,880
I think that's where most
respectable outlets have them

231
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,360
qualifying that 43rd on offense
and 35th on defense.

232
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,880
So the analytics are a little
bit higher on the defense, which

233
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,720
is a little bit surprising.
I thought they I thought the

234
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,680
optimist would be higher.
But yeah, so I ran some

235
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:59,160
projections, kind of looking at
some playing some formulas to

236
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,920
kind of get an estimate for what
the win probabilities look like.

237
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,320
So Vt would be favored in 10
games this year on the

238
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,120
exceptions, obviously Miami and
Clemson, and they would be

239
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,840
projected to win about 8.3 games
and five in the conference.

240
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,040
So that's kind of the baseline
that you're looking at, if

241
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000
you're looking at, you know,
expectations based on what the

242
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,240
models are saying.
So can Vt over perform that?

243
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,000
Obviously, we'll see.
I will say though, I think the

244
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,040
ACC as a conference is going to
be a lot better than what

245
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,080
they've been in previous years.
So you look at the the rest of

246
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880
the rankings, ACC has six teams
in the top 35.

247
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,200
Louisville, it was almost six in
the top 30.

248
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Louisville's at 31.
So I mean, that's a pretty good,

249
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,600
that's a pretty good contingent
right there.

250
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Now, the good news for Tech is
that they missed most of those

251
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,880
teams, obviously with, you know,
so many teams in the conference

252
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520
who can't schedule everyone.
But I think the ACC could be a

253
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,960
pretty solid league this year.
I'm not saying it's SEC level,

254
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,520
not big 10 level, but they could
be a pretty solid league,

255
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,200
especially at the top half.
All right.

256
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,200
Can I ask a quick question?
I don't know if the data is in

257
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,520
front of you there.
So we're favored in 10 of the 12

258
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,120
with the exception of Clemson
and Miami.

259
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,800
Does it give the projections
like what's the what's the line

260
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,800
on those games?
Like we're going to Miami week 5

261
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,400
right now.
It's projecting -7 Miami -3 does

262
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,360
it give things like that?
So I don't, I haven't calculated

263
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,200
that I could.
I could look up in a second, but

264
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,920
I just have the win
probabilities which I could pull

265
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,120
up in a second here.
But yeah, I mean, most of the

266
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,120
win probabilities probabilities
are kind of like in the 60 to 80

267
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,280
range.
So it's kind of like you expect

268
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,200
to win and if you play well,
you're gonna win.

269
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040
But there's always some that
could go wrong.

270
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
It's not like we're talking
about 90 plus percent win

271
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,880
probability.
It's very much a take care of

272
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,200
business and play a clean game.
You can win otherwise, you know,

273
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,640
you could.
You could come out on the losing

274
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,160
end, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

275
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,600
What's the, what's the
probability of wins for Clemson

276
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640
and Miami?
I just want to know like where

277
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,880
they, you know, are we that 90%?
Are we the 10% for those two

278
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,040
games?
I'll give you a second.

279
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Chris, yeah, give me one quick
SEC to look it up here.

280
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,560
So I see, look, the stats say
we're going to probably win 10

281
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:04,440
games, y'all see?
Yeah, so, so Miami's at 30% and

282
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,840
Clemson is at 34%.
So like I said, we knew

283
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,720
terrible.
Yeah.

284
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,040
So when you look at the kind of
the range of outcomes, it's

285
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,840
pretty condensed.
Like there's really, there's not

286
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,640
a ton of games in the conference
where Tech is, you know, favored

287
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
extremely highly.
But on the flip side, not a lot

288
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,680
of games where they're favored
very lowly.

289
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,520
So I think it's going to come
down to just, you know, the the

290
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,840
craziness of the sport, the
lucky bounces and everything and

291
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,160
just execution really.
So I think I think there's going

292
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,760
to be a lot of pretty, pretty
close ball games this year.

293
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Nice.
And I mean, we saw it last year

294
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000
that the Hokies did pretty well,
especially once Kyron drones got

295
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120
in the game of handling the
games where you know those toss

296
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,920
up games are those those 5050
games are the games that we were

297
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,200
favored in.
They manage those pretty well,

298
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
especially at home.
So hopefully that that trend

299
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,680
continues for the Hokie this
year.

300
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,720
Yeah.
And then just a couple of the

301
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,600
really small notes.
So looking around the

302
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,120
conference, Rutgers is, I know
it's not conference, but looking

303
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,120
at the schedule, Rutgers is
actually pretty solid.

304
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,960
They're top 50.
So that's gonna be, you know,

305
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160
right around a 69% win
probability.

306
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600
You know, Stanford and BC aren't
projected to be great.

307
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Georgia Tech's pretty solid,
but, you know, more middle of

308
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,120
the pack.
And then Syracuse a little bit

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,400
lower.
Duke is actually higher than I

310
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,480
thought they would be for some
reason.

311
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,880
The SP Plus is pretty high on
Duke.

312
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,280
They have them at 51st.
I'm not sure about that given

313
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,360
how much production they lost.
But I mean, we'll see.

314
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,440
We'll see.
We'll see how it plays out.

315
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,000
Nice.
Well, thanks again for that

316
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,440
data, Sheldon.
I know that probably something

317
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,360
we would have gotten last week
from you as we were running

318
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,800
through everything, but it's
always out there.

319
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,600
It's good to know the seeing, I
mean, it's, it's so many

320
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,000
different ways you can look at a
season.

321
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,680
We look at the personnel coming
back, you look at statistics,

322
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
you look at the probabilities
and all of it matters in some

323
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,440
way, shape or form.
But you know what else matters?

324
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:58,200
Injuries and I got to say this
from from watching the presser

325
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,320
today, we are coming out of camp
relatively healthy and if y'all

326
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,359
didn't hear, the only guy that
is like a toss up this week is

327
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,520
tally the aforementioned Nick
Gallo, which that's not shocking

328
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,000
I don't think.
I mean, guys coming off of me,

329
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,119
right?
Right.

330
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:16,280
So.
Let's see.

331
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:21,319
Plus he's like our age.
I think he's like 30.

332
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,119
So not saying he can't, not
saying he ain't helping the

333
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720
team.
I'm just saying like, man, if

334
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Sheldon get injured and I get
injured, he's probably going to

335
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,640
bounce back way faster than me.
So the the youth helps.

336
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Can I say something else besides
all this good stuff that we

337
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,080
talking about?
You know what still burns me up,

338
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,320
man?
You know what I've been looking

339
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,200
at?
I've been looking at a lot of

340
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,720
social media and it's great to
get like, you know, some hype.

341
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,480
I'm not the kind of person.
Well, we need to stay hidden so

342
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,400
you know, we don't lose.
Like give me all the hype if we

343
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,440
deserve, if the kids have, the
young men have earned it, give

344
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800
it to them all the accolades.
Can y'all please get my

345
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,640
quarterback's name right?
Stop calling him Kyron.

346
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,400
Stop calling him that's not his
name.

347
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,800
So we might be small potatoes.
Can somebody send this to most

348
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,040
of these outlets and tell them
how to pronounce his name?

349
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,200
His name is Kyron.
Like Byron with AK Kyron drones,

350
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,800
please get that right.
You're going to call his name,

351
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Get it right?
I know he's listening.

352
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,240
That one's for you, Kevin.
That is for you, Kevin.

353
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Kevin in the house.
Stop messing up, Stop messing up

354
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,240
our quarterback name, all right?
I'm going to do this our our

355
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,240
musical guru who has a little
something later.

356
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,200
He's already Sheldon.
He's paying attention.

357
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,240
He sent me this message Right
now.

358
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,840
As it stands, Miami is an 8 1/2
point favorite for that game in

359
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,080
September.
Clemson is a four and a half

360
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,160
point favorite now.
That's November.

361
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,840
You.
You knew.

362
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,000
You knew.
Jason knew it.

363
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,160
Oh, I know he did.
You, you knew he knew what the

364
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,560
what the stuff was.
Oh yeah, so.

365
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,480
He said so.
So he said eight one more time.

366
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,840
8 1/2 for Miami. 8 1/2 Yeah.
Miami Land 8 1/2.

367
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,200
And a flat 4 for Clemson.
No 4 1/2 for Clemson, 4 1/2.

368
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,760
OK, so I had I had close to 8
1/2 for Miami and closer to

369
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,760
seven for Clemson.
Oh, OK, not, not not too far

370
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,800
off.
And again, it's obviously it's

371
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,000
going to change, you know, we'll
see more games then but.

372
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,640
Absolutely.
More games get in the data,

373
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,240
start shaping and reshaping and
you know, you know, talk a

374
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,200
little.
You talked about Georgia Tech

375
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,480
being middle of the pack.
Let's let's talk about Week 0

376
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,920
real quick before we get into
some other stuff.

377
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,040
We sure we want to talk about
Week zero.

378
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,840
I do.
Yes, we do.

379
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Yes.
We do.

380
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,640
I'm sticking up to my
quarterback again.

381
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,120
Go ahead, Curtis.
So let's talk about the Florida

382
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:49,240
State Georgia Tech game.
I got to watch about 2 1/2

383
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:56,920
quarters and DJ, that man can't
throw the ball down field or he

384
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,920
gets mine numbed and then
forgets to throw the ball down

385
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:02,800
field and holds it.
You can't win football games

386
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
that way.
Go ahead, Tally, I know you.

387
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,840
You itching.
Hold on, hold on.

388
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,640
Wait.
Tally, stop.

389
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,760
Some something went on here.
Everybody is a super,

390
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Everybody's a superstar.
They don't want me to say it.

391
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Say it.
Am I?

392
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,240
Am I chopping up?
Am I good?

393
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Can y'all hear me?
We.

394
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,760
Can hear you.
Everybody's a superstar until

395
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,880
you get hit it.
DJ was getting hit, Georgia Tech

396
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,560
was hitting his ass.
But that ain't what I want to

397
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,120
talk about.
Florida State fans, first of

398
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:40,600
all, you motherfuckers, they are
the worst at jumping on people's

399
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,880
shit, trying to talk about
whatever they want to talk

400
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,640
about.
Man, I've seen that so many

401
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,280
clips when they was Virginia
Tech versus Florida State, like

402
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,320
they went on, you know, when
Karen goes on the, on the on the

403
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,040
podcast and he's talking about
#1 Y'all didn't watch it.

404
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,680
People didn't watch it.
You just took a, a, a clip and

405
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,960
start going crazy.
Oh, he said Florida State wasn't

406
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,080
that good.
I was a day game.

407
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,200
All he was getting beat.
All this was his stat line.

408
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,320
Go watch what he said, Go watch
the clip.

409
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,360
First of all, that's number one.
But like I said last week, we're

410
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:16,880
going to, I'm going to get off
that for right now.

411
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,400
I said I needed to see
Norville's team this year

412
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,480
because Norville is a coach that
builds.

413
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,080
He's not really a coach that
reloads.

414
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,800
It took him a while to get that
team where they looked like they

415
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,880
looked last year, three years,
and this year they didn't look

416
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,920
like the same team.
That's all I'm going to say.

417
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,160
I ain't going to beat them down
too much.

418
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,600
I know we got Kevin in here.
I know you got family down now,

419
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520
but I got to say fuck Florida
State.

420
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,440
What you got, Phil?
Sean, did you freeze Observation

421
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Shelton from the Florida State
Georgia Tech game?

422
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,960
So unfortunately I was actually
out getting some vitamin DI can.

423
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,720
So I wasn't able to, to watch a
ton, but I did see, I did see

424
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,560
some of the, the postgame
analytics.

425
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,160
Bill Conley has the the
postgame, but expectancy, I

426
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,000
think it was 97% for Georgia
Tech.

427
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,400
So they, they actually really
dominated that game.

428
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,320
Pound for pound.
I think the score was a little

429
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,160
bit closer than than the, the
disparity one suggested.

430
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,280
So that was a pretty a pretty
dominating win.

431
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,720
Ron, I know you were doing stuff
Saturday, but I'm assuming you

432
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,160
came back checked the.
Bottle I came back in and

433
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,560
checked everything out and you
know, I I think it's going to be

434
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,360
the latter of what you mentioned
there.

435
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:36,360
Curtis, we saw this at Clemson.
It did rear its ugly head quite

436
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:41,280
as much last year.
We're back at it where DJ you

437
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,160
just does not know how to get
the ball down the field.

438
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,560
He is risk averse with the
football and he he is checking

439
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,400
down.
If it's not in that, you know, 5

440
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,920
to 15 yard range, he is either
not taking it or inaccurate when

441
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,000
he does take it.
So at at some point you got to

442
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
pull the trigger.
You got to you got to take shots

443
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,840
downfield.
You got to make sure that you

444
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,040
can press the ball and push the
defense and stretch the defense

445
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520
and make them have to work.
Because right now, where his

446
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,040
bread and butter is, it's all
clogged up because no one's

447
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,520
concerned about him taking
shots.

448
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Just press man, leave one over
the top, make him have to make

449
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,360
decision and and it's not good
right now for them.

450
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,640
What I'll also say, Sheldon, I'm
glad you dropped that stat on

451
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,120
here because what we got to
think about Georgia Tech, if

452
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:39,520
your win probability is 97% and
you win the game by three, that

453
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,640
says something to me.
Because if I'm hearing the way

454
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,200
the analytics said is Georgia
Tech should have won that game

455
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,960
handily without an absolute
problem.

456
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,560
And literally, well, literally
there's two plays that have to

457
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,160
happen.
A, You get very lucky that you

458
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,880
catch a swing pass and the guy
gets 18 yards up field to put

459
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,200
you in field goal range.
B.

460
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,440
And I'm not trying to take up
the Florida State here.

461
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,640
That kid stepped out of bounds.
That stop should have that stop

462
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,200
clock should have stopped with
40 seconds left.

463
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,720
I don't think Florida State
probably could have come back,

464
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,760
but still, all that to say,
everything in the data world

465
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280
says you should have killed this
team and you barely scraped him

466
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,120
by.
Says a lot about Georgia Tech

467
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,080
there.
All right, let's flip it over to

468
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,400
tonight game to the SMU Nevada
game.

469
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,880
Sheldon, did you make a comment
or something?

470
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Because I remember reading
something laughing my ass off

471
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,240
about SMU during the ACCG 5
teams.

472
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,560
I honestly don't remember.
You don't remember so basically

473
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,360
Shelton made the comment.
I can't remember where it was.

474
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:44,120
We we chat on multiple devices.
Basically Sheldon said hey look,

475
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,400
SMU is getting the cordial the
normal ACC welcome.

476
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,960
You're playing AG5 team and you
are getting you're looking like

477
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:58,360
absolute dog shit.
So that game also if if SMU

478
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:02,360
brings that to the party this
year, Dang, they may make a bowl

479
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,520
game because they didn't look
good at all.

480
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,040
And that was I mean.
That that's a, that's a team

481
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:14,920
that was very offensive forward
last year and it took them 3/4

482
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,560
to wake up in that one.
Yeah.

483
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,000
And they got a safety.
Yeah.

484
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,480
You also said that, Sheldon.
I don't know what you were doing

485
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Saturday night, but Sheldon was
like shotgun in the end zone.

486
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,240
That was beyond Beyoncé.
See, I could, I'm not saying I

487
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000
could be an offensive
coordinator at the at the at the

488
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,280
power five level, but I know I'd
be not stupid enough to do that.

489
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Shotgun out of the end zone when
your online can't get a push.

490
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,520
Man, some of these coaches dude.
You can't get a push.

491
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,920
You're you're, you've been
struggling to move the ball now

492
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,360
for a little bit and then you
know that they're going to bring

493
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,640
everything.
I mean, what do they have to

494
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,440
lose at that point?
And then you know.

495
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,440
I'll just do that.
And, and, and that to me, that

496
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,880
was the, that was the hinge
point.

497
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Kelly, I don't know if you got
the chance to watch that game,

498
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,120
but that was the hinge point
Saturday night when that safety

499
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:03,520
happened.
Yeah, I watched a little bit of

500
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,080
it, but I mean the week one
stuff or week zero stuff, you

501
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,120
know, like I think somebody put
it in the chat, you know, we

502
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:15,720
better have the run defense
fixed by, let's say Jim.

503
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Jim said that.
Jim West, he says we better have

504
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,440
a run defense fixed before we
face Georgia Tech.

505
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,800
We ain't even seen the run
defense.

506
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,720
We don't know if it's good or
bad.

507
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,200
We don't we don't know what we
got.

508
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,640
I mean, I hope we play good
Saturday, but we don't know.

509
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,320
We don't know what we going to
do.

510
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:39,560
So can't have so much
overreaction or you know, also

511
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,000
you can't put some some stuff
you got to you got to address

512
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,880
it.
Florida State has to address.

513
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,800
I don't feel like it's an
overreaction when you seen

514
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,280
somebody play college football
for seven years.

515
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,640
He is who he is, the quarterback
that's he's going to give you

516
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,280
what he's going to give you.
He kind of, you know, went off

517
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,600
last year.
But look at the defense he

518
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,640
played against.
Those defenses aren't as

519
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320
physical as over here.
So that's not an overreaction

520
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,160
for Florida State fans or
people.

521
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,360
Look at Florida State and go,
hey, if that's what he's going

522
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,560
to roll out, they're not going
to be very successful.

523
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,240
But Jim, slow your roll.
Let's see Georgia Tech when we

524
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,720
see him.
Exactly.

525
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,160
And the whole thing is watching
some of the Florida State

526
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,720
linebackers make I mean, you
know, I had like flashbacks

527
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,360
watching some runs in that game
because those that week's out

528
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:26,400
linebacker stuck his head the
wrong way like three times.

529
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,400
And just outside.
It's like I remember that from

530
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,080
last year.
Let's not do that again this

531
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,440
year.
But we got game one to see.

532
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,080
So we are about to get into know
the enemy.

533
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,880
But before that, just a quick
again, shout out to our sponsor

534
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,200
Counts Family Pharmacy down on
three O 1 S Main St.

535
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,120
Go see Jeremy and the crew down
there when you are in town,

536
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,960
hopefully next weekend.
And again, I'm pumping this out

537
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,520
for all y'all listening with if
you're a student or you have

538
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,440
friends or family that are
students.

539
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,480
Down in Blacksburg, Friday at
Gobbler Fest on the drill

540
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,240
fields, Counts Pharmacy will be
on site where students can

541
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:11,000
register to win APS 5 courtesy
of the Counts Family Pharmacy.

542
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,720
So now we get to know the enemy.
So for the first time this year

543
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,600
we have been looking up and
down, looking at rosters,

544
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,520
reading things, talking about
different players and we are

545
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,000
going to know the end of the the
enemy in Vanderbilt and we are

546
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,520
going to start on the offensive
side of the ball.

547
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,680
Brian got in the film room this
week.

548
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,800
I know y'all were looking at
stuff too.

549
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,120
I know Sean looking at data,
Tally looking at stuff, me

550
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:38,800
looking at stuff, but Brian
usually gets in the film room

551
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,960
for a few hours and break some
stuff down.

552
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,040
So Brian, let's talk about this
offense that was not that good

553
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,000
last year.
Wasn't that good and very much a

554
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,160
new look offense this year.
You got Tim Beck coming over.

555
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,200
OC had the same role there at
New Mexico State under Jerry

556
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,000
Kill.
Speaking of Kill is also on

557
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,880
board as the chief consultant to
Clark Lee.

558
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,160
So you get you get two of those
former New Mexico State coaches

559
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,760
coming in and obviously Hokie
fans know a little bit about

560
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:18,360
Jerry Kill from his time here
under the Fuente era and kind of

561
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,880
masterminding the 2019 turn
around, if you will.

562
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,400
So what to expect under Tim
Back?

563
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,480
It's going to be a rush heavy
offense overall.

564
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,240
Very much a quarterback is going
to be active in the running

565
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,200
game, whoever is behind center.
We think it's going to be Diego

566
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,000
Pavia, but he is the captain.
So heavy, heavy quarterback

567
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,000
impact in the run game, passing
game is more about getting those

568
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,360
explosive plays down the field
off of play action and taking

569
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,440
advantage of kind of those rush
effective defense alignments and

570
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,840
calls that will be in there
because of their propensity to

571
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,480
run the football.
And so look for a heavy dose of

572
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,440
those, those rushing attacks
mixed in with some of those

573
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,320
shots downfield.
All righty.

574
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Well, you mentioned his name
already.

575
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,440
Let's talk about Diego Pavia.
Sheldon, you did a little dive

576
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320
on some of his stats and
analytics.

577
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Obviously he played started at
New Mexico State last year under

578
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Beck and Kill.
What is?

579
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,600
What's kind of it showing from
a, you know, statistical side?

580
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,520
So he finished 26 overall last
year in PFF grade, which is

581
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040
pretty solid.
That's for all FBS quarterbacks.

582
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,520
Trying to break down a little
bit how he throws the ball.

583
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,160
His accuracy is OK, not not
great.

584
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Not terrible either.
Pretty good in the short game,

585
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,720
his office line did a pretty
good job of, of giving him time

586
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,520
to throw.
And he was also pretty good

587
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,200
under pressure and he was
pressured a lot.

588
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Although according to PFF, they,
they attributed a pretty high

589
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,440
percentage of those pressures to
him.

590
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,920
So it remains to be seen.
You know, how he's gonna, how

591
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,720
he's gonna handle that and the
decisions he makes in the pocket

592
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
when he was pressured.
But like Brian alluded to, he

593
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,080
does run a lot.
Second in FPS last year with 57

594
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,160
scrambles on the season.
So if you get, if you get to

595
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,080
him, he's gonna run.
That's his, you know, that's his

596
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,440
instinct.
He's good guy out of the pocket.

597
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,040
I don't think he was super
efficient when scrambling just

598
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,680
based on the the yards per carry
there.

599
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,680
But he's going to he's going to
get a lot.

600
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,560
So you got to make sure you you
contain with your defensive end.

601
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,720
And Brian, you then you
obviously looked at the tape

602
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,560
showing you got the data there.
What's from here, What Sheldon's

603
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,400
got to say on the data and
you're looking at the tape what,

604
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,040
what's kind of your take on
Diego?

605
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,080
I like to call him a Teemu or
wish.com Johnny Manziel.

606
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,800
He's a lot slower, a lot less
effective down the field, but

607
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,440
still an effective thrower, but
more effective with his legs

608
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,160
than with his arm, in my
opinion.

609
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,320
Not super fast.
He's got some pretty good wiggle

610
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,240
and a little, little elusive,
kind of, you know, breaking

611
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,120
tackles and things like that.
But he's not going to, you know,

612
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,040
win any track meets or anything
like that.

613
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,960
As Sheldon alluded to, he's
effective in the short passing

614
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,120
game, but we'll take some shots
and he he will hit on those not

615
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,480
with great efficiency, but but
not awful as either.

616
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,160
He, he, he will hit on some of
those and that's kind of where

617
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,280
we need to watch out for those
big plays just because it will

618
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,760
be such a rush heavy attack.
He will turn the ball over, but

619
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,920
he's not exactly a turnover
machine.

620
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,280
I think he had what, like 9
interceptions last year against,

621
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,200
you know what, the 25
touchdowns.

622
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360
So not a not an awful ratio
there, but he's not somebody

623
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,160
that's going to be super
protected with the football

624
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,720
either.
Yeah, and, and just a quick a

625
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,000
quick note, he and Karen Jones
are right next to each other in

626
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,840
the PFF rankings in terms of
turnover where he plays.

627
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800
So just to give you a feel for
for the rate at which he, you

628
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,680
know, makes risky decisions with
the ball, he's pretty much

629
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,000
right, identical to Karen Jones.
All righty.

630
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,240
All righty.
So there's a little bit on

631
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,080
Diego.
Definitely someone to keep an

632
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,040
eye on even though I'm trying to
figure out how Vandy's saying

633
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,760
that it's an OR situation with
their quarterback room I.

634
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,640
I think that's you named him the
you don't name a quarterback a

635
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,880
captain and then not not play.
Him.

636
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,440
At least week 1.
At least week one.

637
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920
All right.
We know a coach who did some.

638
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,280
Stuff shout out Grant Wills.
What was that tally?

639
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,920
We know a coach who did some
stuff like that all the.

640
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,080
Time.
Just true, Just true.

641
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,880
All right, I'm going to make
this real quick even though he's

642
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,440
not playing in this game.
They lost one of actually, they

643
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160
lost a couple really good wide
receivers last year.

644
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,560
One went to Georgia.
His name's escaping me right

645
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,480
now.
I thought I wrote it down.

646
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,800
It didn't.
The other one we're going to

647
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,320
have to contend with in October
and that's Jayden McGowan.

648
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,760
He was one of their most
versatile receivers last year,

649
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,800
had some rushes.
We're going to see him later in

650
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,400
the season, but he's not on the
team and then they lost one to

651
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Georgia.
So you know that so Tally, who

652
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,160
can they throw the ball to?
But they.

653
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,520
Got a 6-7 tight end 67243 Cole
Spence.

654
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,680
So Cole was a three star, three
star prospect.

655
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,880
He had says he had about 23
offers.

656
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120
I'm looking at kind of the best
offers that he had was maybe

657
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,719
like UCF or you know me at
schools like that.

658
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,719
But I looked up and didn't find
any stats on him from last year,

659
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:25,120
but they saying that he is who
they will be looking at to throw

660
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,920
the ball to at tight end.
What you got on him, Brian?

661
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:30,719
Yeah.
The big thing that I'm reading

662
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,360
is that, I mean, they they
really lost a lot of their

663
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,600
production from a wide receiver
standpoint.

664
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,920
They've got some pretty
effective tight ends both on the

665
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,760
roster and guys that came in.
But apparently the guy that has

666
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,120
stood out the most in spring in
the scrimmages has been Cole

667
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,800
Spence.
Really good rapport with Diego

668
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,440
Pavia.
He's expected to be the guy

669
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,800
that's going to be the targets
in those intermediate passes

670
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,520
that we talked about in in going
to be the red zone target in the

671
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,760
passing game.
So look for him, he's he's a big

672
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,080
target.
He's a big guy.

673
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,240
Tally, you spoke to him, didn't
have any 2023 stats.

674
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:11,280
He was injured in 2023, played
mostly special teams in 2022.

675
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,080
So he's a guy that is kind of
really having his first season

676
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,120
as a primary playmaker, but but
it's by all accounts, he seems

677
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,080
to be the guy that's flashed the
most heading into the start of

678
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,360
the season.
Yeah, 100% any, any six

679
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,120
seventies, 245 lbs, that is a
big target to hit out there.

680
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,760
So even if Pavia does have
issues with the short

681
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,240
humanitarian passing game,
somebody that size, it is going

682
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:41,480
to be tough to miss.
Let's be real on that.

683
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,680
All right, I decided to do a
little bit more digging, trying

684
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,560
to find out what is going on
with the rushing on this team.

685
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,000
Obviously that Diego, but first
time he's playing at Vanderbilt.

686
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,600
He was at New Mexico State last
year in the CUSA.

687
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,960
I'm sure Shelton could dig up
and tell me what rank the CUSA

688
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,760
was last year.
As far as conferences go,

689
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,000
they're champion, not great.
Their champion, if y'all don't

690
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,560
remember, was Liberty and we saw
what happened to Liberty when

691
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,640
they played Oregon in the Fiesta
Bowl.

692
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,520
That was not an entertaining
game.

693
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,480
I need entertaining games during
the winter.

694
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,720
If not, I get really bored.
But let's talk about their run

695
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:20,280
game.
I want to talk about Cedric

696
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,760
Alexander.
He is their leading rusher when

697
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,160
he came out in 2023.
Five.

698
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,800
You're you're laughing.
Oh, Brian, are you going to pull

699
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,640
up the stat?
I'll let you.

700
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,840
Pull up.
You pull up the stat.

701
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,440
I'll talk about it.
You pull up, OK, I'll pull up

702
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,120
the stat.
You talk about it, but just a

703
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,200
little background on Cedric
Alexander.

704
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,760
He was a three star recruit when
he came out of, believe it or

705
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,000
not, he came out of Austin, TX
five, nine, £200.

706
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,840
He was a three star at 87.
And if you take a look here at

707
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:56,360
his kind of recruiting list, it
wasn't actually all that bad.

708
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,920
I mean, you know, you take a
look, Iowa State, I always feel

709
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,000
like Iowa State's gets they get
good football players, UTSA,

710
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,120
they're doing good things down
here.

711
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,120
But overall, for a guy to be
rated in 87, the offer list

712
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,480
doesn't say that.
And I don't know if it's one of

713
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,240
those things where Vanderbilt
offered early, he committed

714
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,520
early, he was done or something
happened.

715
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,120
But his stats last year, just so
all you all know, he was their

716
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:31,040
leading rusher, 96 rushes, 371
yards, 3.9 a carry with four

717
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,120
touchdowns.
Big Yikes.

718
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,560
And Sheldon's going to get into
that in a few minutes.

719
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,480
Why?
It's a big Yikes.

720
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,320
But Brian, you watch some tape
on him.

721
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,360
What's it say about him?
A lot of it's not his fault.

722
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,800
He's it's it's more his rushing
style combined with what

723
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,240
Shelton's going to talk about.
And I'll kind of piggyback on

724
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,880
here in a little bit, but this
is a guy, I mean, he's very much

725
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,120
a steady Eddie in the rushing
game.

726
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,200
He is not a game breaker.
He is not a big play threat.

727
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,440
He is a guy that's going to go
out there and get the yards that

728
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,040
the that the play is drawn up
and he'll maybe get you a few

729
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,400
more after contact.
He's kind of wouldn't call him a

730
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,800
plotter, but kind of a guy that
that you expect to get between

731
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,680
the tackles, get a few extra
yards and and and go down.

732
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,960
Like I said, get good at getting
some yards after contact in

733
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,280
there and you sparingly in the
passing game as well.

734
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,120
More of a check down thread in
the passing game.

735
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,560
They're not using him as a
dynamic weapon or anything like

736
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,440
that.
He's just he's a guy that would

737
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,720
be a good like second or third
option on most Power five teams,

738
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:37,920
but he's their leading rusher.
So there you go.

739
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,680
He's their leading rusher.
And so Shelton, when a team has

740
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,960
a leading rusher of 371 yards,
what does the offensive line

741
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,600
data say for them last year?
I know it's last year and

742
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,440
they've got new players, but you
know you can't flip everybody

743
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,840
over.
Yeah, boy, it was.

744
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,320
It was rough for The Commodores.
So we'll start off with this.

745
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,160
Last year they were 126 in the
country in yards per rush under

746
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,840
three.
And I know that includes sacks,

747
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,000
but still pretty rough 110th and
PFF Rumbach and grade also

748
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,240
pretty rough.
So you know, they had some

749
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,920
explosive plays, but you know,
the real issue for them was

750
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,800
their success rate, which is
basically how you keep up with

751
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,120
the sticks staying on schedule.
They were 123rd in the country

752
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,440
and success rate at 36%.
So you know, that was that was

753
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,920
their issue.
They just couldn't, they just

754
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,520
couldn't get a push, couldn't
stay on track.

755
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,640
Now, in terms of the individuals
on the O line, they have a

756
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,520
center transferred in from
Mississippi State.

757
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,040
That's Steven Lasoya and then a
tackle Chase Mitchell came in

758
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,920
from Liberty, started for the
flames last year.

759
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,320
But other other than that, you
know, you've got three returning

760
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,720
starters.
They're all seniors.

761
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,880
And if I look at that as a tech
fan, I'm pretty I'm pretty happy

762
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,240
with that because that means
that, you know, there's not

763
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:53,960
there's not a ton of room for
improvement there when you're

764
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,160
bringing back three guys from,
you know, one of the worst

765
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,720
opposite lines of the country
last year.

766
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,600
And all those guys being
seniors, they realistically.

767
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,080
Don't have a ton of room to
grow.

768
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,440
So it's going to be, it's going
to be a tougher friend to build.

769
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,440
I mean, I know they've, you
know, they got some new pieces

770
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,120
in, but man, they were just,
they were so bad last year.

771
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,400
I think just based on, you know,
kind of where they're at in

772
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,760
their rebuild, it's going to be
it's going to be a lot of tough

773
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,280
slide.
Just even get back to a common

774
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,800
level of online play.
Yeah, Yeah.

775
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,480
I kind of expect baby steps in
that for that offensive line

776
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,600
versus any significant jump
where you'll see statistically

777
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,400
things that stand out to you
just just just bad.

778
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,080
Like I, I really don't, I really
don't have another way to to put

779
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:41,760
it, You know, poor footwork for
a lot of these guys, just not

780
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,480
being at the right place at the
right time.

781
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,800
Pass pro, not very good.
Sheldon Allude does, you know,

782
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,640
some of those statistics even,
you know, bringing them down

783
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,280
even further when you factor in
this, the sacs, the SAC yardage,

784
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,040
adding into that, that rush
yardage.

785
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,920
So it, it was really not a good
year for this, this offensive

786
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,600
line.
And and to Sheldon's point,

787
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,720
they've addressed some things,
but I don't know if they've done

788
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:09,280
enough to take anything more
than a baby step forward from a

789
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,560
production standpoint.
Yeah, and I'm going to say this,

790
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,920
I mentioned McCown.
McCown last year was their third

791
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,920
leading receiver and he actually
was the 2nd in total yards from

792
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,760
scrimmage, but he went to BC.
Their second guy, the one is

793
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,920
London Humphreys who went to
Georgia.

794
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,680
He averaged over 20 a catch and
their leading receiver last year

795
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,040
will Shepard.
Do y'all think he's still on the

796
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,920
roster tally?
You're right, he ain't.

797
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,960
Guess where he went?
Not Georgia.

798
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,520
He went to Colorado with Dionne.
So in in.

799
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,440
So they're returning leading
returning receivers.

800
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,720
Junior, Cheryl.
Who?

801
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,400
20 passes for 293 yards last
year and three touchdowns.

802
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
That's their leading guy coming
back.

803
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,280
So you're talking about a team
who was two and 10 last year

804
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,040
whose best three offensive
players clearly probably were

805
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,720
good offensive players.
Because I don't believe that a

806
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,800
guy like Bill O'Brien would go
get somebody.

807
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,520
I don't believe Dion would go
get somebody.

808
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,040
I don't believe Kirby Smart
would go get guys and bring them

809
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,120
in unless they showed
significant skills.

810
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,160
So you're talking about taking
those three guys away along with

811
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,240
the troubles on the offensive
line that Sheldon and Brian are

812
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:25,160
going here.
So it's, you know, it's

813
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,840
definitely tough sledding for
that offense.

814
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,120
So there's kind of the offense,
by all means, we're looking at

815
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,480
our breakdowns.
We know it's a new season, but

816
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,440
when it's a new season, you got
to look at what's old.

817
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,880
You got to see where they were
last year.

818
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Can they improve?
It'll be really interesting to

819
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,840
see what Jerry Kiel can do for
them.

820
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,280
Now I'm a flip over to the
defensive side of the ball.

821
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,760
And Brian, let's talk about this
because Clarkley fired some

822
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,960
people.
Yeah, Clarkley said.

823
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,120
Thank you.
I will take the reins and and

824
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,160
probably to his benefit, I think
the defense has not had a great

825
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,200
run here in the last couple
years.

826
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:15,760
And obviously Lee's background
is defensive coordinator running

827
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:22,920
that 425 defense, kind of that
Elko esque style defense.

828
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,480
They call the Rover the anchor
now, though, So just, you know,

829
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,760
that's obnoxious.
Welcome to that.

830
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,760
I'm I'm kind of getting a little
tired of like rebranding a, a

831
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:41,760
name based on whatever your, you
know, your your theme is as your

832
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,920
team.
So that that gets a little old.

833
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,520
But yeah, it's a Rover, guy
plays anchor, and the philosophy

834
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,600
is kind of the same as those
Mike Elko teams.

835
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,720
You know, it's a focus on team
defense.

836
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,920
You want to limit the big plays,
you want to skies pressure and

837
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,320
coverages to create confusion in
the passing game, in the running

838
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,160
games.
That's the big, big philosophies

839
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,880
for them.
And I think looking at it

840
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:09,320
historically, at least before
that Lee took over, the thing

841
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,600
that they did not do well was
limit those big plays.

842
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,200
So that that's the thing to look
at.

843
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,760
Can they continue?
Are they going to continue in

844
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,160
that trend?
Are they going to do something a

845
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,840
little different to limit those
big plays?

846
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Yeah, 100%.
Real quick about Clark Lee, His

847
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,880
three most prominent years were
at Notre Dame before he took

848
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,560
this job.
And his highest ranked total

849
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,120
defense in those years was only
18th.

850
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,600
Yeah, he did stay in the top 30
for all three.

851
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,880
That's good.
But it's definitely a talent.

852
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,680
Sperry, from getting what you
can get at Notre Dame, what you

853
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,600
can get here.
On to a quick shout out.

854
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,880
We got Lavar.
I have not seen him in a while.

855
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,440
Lavar's back, everybody.
Lavar.

856
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,240
Lavar, thank you for rejoining
us.

857
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,480
We hadn't seen you a while.
Hope all has been well.

858
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,760
He's waiting on the season.
He's waiting on see.

859
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,040
And your boy Tally, he's a Miami
boy.

860
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,400
He back.
King, thank you for tuning in.

861
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,280
Man.
We.

862
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,560
Appreciate it.
And you're right, September 27th

863
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,880
can't get here fast enough.
Take care of business.

864
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,040
All right, Sheldon, Brian just
mentioned it.

865
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,920
He fired people.
Can you tell us why he had to

866
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,080
make this move when it comes to
some of their defensive

867
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,840
statistics from last year?
Yeah, Vanderbilt was bad at

868
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,680
pretty much everything.
And in particular, you know, you

869
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,040
look at the past defense, they
had some Charles at corner this

870
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,040
year.
I know a couple other guys are

871
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,840
injured.
So, you know, not sure what

872
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,880
we're going to see this year,
but a couple a couple key stats

873
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,280
with regards to their past
defense.

874
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,120
They were 128th and open field
yards allowance that looks at

875
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,880
yards 10 plus runs or excuse me,
runs of 10 plus yards overall.

876
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,400
So 128th there.
And then, you know, they

877
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,640
generated very little, almost no
havoc.

878
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,000
Havoc prefers to sacks, hurries,
you know, deflections,

879
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
pressures, basically anything
you can kind of do to annoy the

880
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,640
point to get in their face a
little bit.

881
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,600
They just didn't really generate
a ton of a ton of havoc in that

882
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,200
in that department, especially
in their front seven.

883
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,320
And then they're like I said,
they're bad at pretty much

884
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,360
everything statistically, but
there were statistic was their

885
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,720
success rate on passing plays.
So 132nd just a reference there.

886
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,360
There are only 133 yes, 133 FPS
teams.

887
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,280
They were 132nd and passing
success rate allowed.

888
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,920
So they they did not stop
anything.

889
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,680
I mean, you you dropped back to
pass man you you got a pretty

890
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,680
good shot, at least of you know,
keeping keeping the six move and

891
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,760
stand on schedule.
So it was rough and I know

892
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,400
they've got some guys banged up.
So I don't know how much better

893
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,640
it's going to get to pass with
you, Curtis.

894
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,720
Yeah, it is true, because there
are what we'll talk about a

895
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:47,120
little while, those names.
But Tally, we still got to try

896
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,320
to find.
All right, who's somebody that

897
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,320
might give us problems?
And Tally, I know you.

898
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,520
You looked up and threw
something over to Brown.

899
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,320
Who's the guy you looked at?
Yeah, they got Mr. CJ Taylor.

900
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,480
He is out of Warren County,
Tennessee.

901
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,480
He was a three star recruit.
He had about 59 tackles total

902
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,880
tackles last year, couple of
picks.

903
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,800
So seems to be a pretty, you
know, solid player.

904
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,800
Brian, what you owe and you
know, offers out of high school

905
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,080
he had about 8 offers.
Vanderbilt definitely was his

906
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,960
best offer of the offers were
Army, Austin P, Eastern Kentucky

907
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,040
schools of that nature.
Brian, what you got on Mr. CJ?

908
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,680
Yeah, this seems to be a guy
that is a one of those

909
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,120
development monsters, a guy that
wasn't really recruited highly.

910
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,480
That is what kind of turned his
game into something pretty big.

911
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:41,360
Definitely their best player on
the defense, far and away kind

912
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,680
of a balanced.
He plays at anchor safety that I

913
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,640
talked about that that Rover
position.

914
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,720
He's balanced against the run in
the past.

915
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:52,640
Like I said, really only impact
player on their back end.

916
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,200
They use him kind of all over
the place.

917
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,720
He blitzes, he's in run support,
he's got a, you know, a couple

918
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:01,000
sacks here and there.
He's forced some fumbles and he

919
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,440
got a couple picks.
So he's a guy that does a little

920
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,240
bit of everything for them, but
he's really their only impact

921
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:10,680
player on the defense other than
a couple other guys that are

922
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,240
kind of more kind of Steady
Eddie.

923
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,160
All right, yeah.
So that's their best on the back

924
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,080
end and they're back in.
I mean, Sheldon, you already

925
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,160
alluded to it.
It was rough last year.

926
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,920
So they went out in the portal
and they got a guy by the name

927
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,360
of Marlon Jones.
Marlon Jones was an Eastern

928
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,120
Washington guy.
Eastern Washington always a

929
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,200
pretty good FCS program.
In the last really last decade,

930
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,680
he had played in 40 games at
Eastern Washington before he

931
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,840
entered the portal.
He had got 9 interceptions, 23

932
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,960
pass deflections in his rib.
That is pretty good numbers at

933
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,640
any level of football.
But unfortunately for them, him

934
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,240
he basically is out for the
season, personal health issue.

935
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,800
He did not report to fall camp.
So that is a huge loss because

936
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,000
clearly you see that
statistical, you know, you see

937
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,440
that stats, it's like he's
probably going to be competing

938
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,400
for a starting job.
And then if that wasn't bad

939
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,720
enough, another transfer on this
guy came from Southern Illinois

940
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:12,560
and also went to Buffalo by the
name of Mark Davis, had rotated

941
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,160
in with cornerbacks, looked like
he was probably going to have

942
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,480
some sort of role in their
cornerback room.

943
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,000
Tears his Achilles a couple
weeks in the camp.

944
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,800
So now we're sitting here and
you're talking about a bad pass

945
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,920
defense last year.
They clearly addressed it.

946
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,160
They went out and found a
probably a diamond in the rough

947
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,360
and Marlin probably a steady guy
in Mark.

948
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,480
And now they're gone.
So they're almost back to where

949
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:39,360
they were last year.
And I mean, it's just, hey, it

950
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,920
sucks.
First of all, you don't want to

951
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,160
wish injury upon any kid.
And these kids are playing their

952
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:49,720
hearts out and that stinks.
But I mean, so they're going to

953
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:52,680
have to roll what they had last
year, which was 132 at 1:33.

954
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,560
That's not good.
That's not good at all.

955
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,840
Yeah, it's going to be
definitely an uphill battle for

956
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,720
that defense.
Like I said, you got one

957
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:07,400
playmaker out there, you got a
couple others, you know, pretty

958
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,120
steady guys out there.
But to to Shelton's point,

959
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,600
nobody that's really creating a
lot of havoc.

960
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,000
So this isn't A-Team that's
going to disrupt your your

961
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,040
schedule very much.
Whether it's whether it's sacks,

962
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,920
whether it's tackles for loss,
you're not going to see a ton of

963
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,840
that.
They just got to hope that they

964
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,000
can get you to 3rd down and get
off the field.

965
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,200
All right, let's talk about
there is one more player.

966
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,800
I always like to look at the
linebacker room and tally.

967
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,600
What information did you get on
that, Mike linebacker Langston

968
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,160
Patterson?
We have Mr. Langston, the

969
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,880
Patterson Langston.
Patterson.

970
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,160
That don't even sound like a
football name, but he looks like

971
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,480
a football player.
That that it sounds.

972
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,280
It sounds like a Vanderbilt
linebacker.

973
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,920
It does sound like a Vanderbilt
linebacker.

974
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,480
So he actually was a pretty, he
was a kind of high three star

975
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,840
player by the 88 ranking.
Had some good offers coming out

976
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,520
of high school.
He's a Nashville kid, so you

977
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:13,200
know, kind of hometown kid had
offers from Arkansas, Duke,

978
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,040
Georgia Tech, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisville, Nebraska.

979
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,080
So had some pretty good offers
there.

980
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,120
Also said he had a a Notre Dame
offer.

981
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:27,560
So he has a brother that played
a four-star brother that played

982
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,680
for Clemson and Kane, Kane
Patterson, I think it's his

983
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,280
name.
So pretty steady Eddie there in

984
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,920
the middle.
He is a pre season third and

985
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,080
fourth team all ACC player pre
season.

986
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,400
So we've got a little bit of
stuff there in the middle form

987
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,240
as far as Mr. Patterson.
Brian, what you thinking about

988
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:54,280
him?
Yeah, I mean, looking at him, I

989
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,560
mean leadership is his biggest
attribute.

990
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,920
He does a good job of, you know,
getting the defensive line good

991
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,240
at communicating.
You can see him out there

992
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:04,360
communicating well with the with
the rest of the team,

993
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,480
technically solid player guy.
That's kind of where he needs to

994
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,040
be most of the time.
Not really a huge threat.

995
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,880
The blitz game, they don't blitz
him a ton.

996
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,600
He's just a guy that's going to
get in there, get you a good

997
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,120
tackle, 3-4 yard game, run it
back, do it again.

998
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Nothing that like super stands
out at you.

999
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,000
But he's also a guy that's not
going to make a ton of mistakes.

1000
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,680
So he's going to end up racking
up a pretty good amount of

1001
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,120
tackles in the middle there.
All righty, so there we have it.

1002
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,440
A little Know the Enemy
Vanderbilt edition the best we

1003
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,720
can with all of the last
season's data.

1004
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:42,600
No tape from this season, trying
to reach spring games and stuff.

1005
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,760
The first one's always tough,
y'all Brian Brian always like

1006
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,880
bangs his head.
Y'all don't know like he's like

1007
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,200
I I got to hopefully find these
guys somewhere and obviously

1008
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,560
Sheldon, there's no fresh data
from games and stuff out there

1009
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,440
and tally same way.
It's it's like we're reading

1010
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,800
articles, we're trying to figure
out stuff.

1011
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,360
So this is what we think guys
that may you may hear the names

1012
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,640
of guys we feel like could be
impact players for them that we

1013
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,320
feel like we need to stop or
slow down.

1014
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,000
But the reality of it is we've
got to have our own self and

1015
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,440
we've got a set of hokey keys
here this week and tally and

1016
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,680
we'll let you kick it off
because when you when you when

1017
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,240
you texted me what you wanted to
say, I was like, he got he got

1018
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,520
to lead it go.
Ahead, it's pretty it's pretty

1019
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,840
simple man.
You show up to Nashville, TN,

1020
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:27,280
it's a fucking country ass hit
town with a whole bunch of

1021
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,680
country music playing.
So if you come in now, you come

1022
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,960
in there and you, you do what
you got to do and you get ready

1023
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,960
to play.
Block out all the noise.

1024
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,200
The talking's over.
It's just time to go play.

1025
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,760
Everything is set up for us to
go be successful.

1026
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,280
It's just time to go play.
Block it out.

1027
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:52,000
Let's just go get it done.
All righty Sheldon, what do you

1028
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,280
got Any, any, any motivational,
philosophical, statistical?

1029
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,800
I mean, motivational, I feel
like if you're if you need

1030
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,160
motivation for this game, man,
you're in the wrong line of

1031
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:03,680
work.
I think, I think everybody's

1032
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,040
going to come out motivated.
But yeah, I just want to see, I

1033
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,920
want to see improvement from the
areas that they kind of lacked

1034
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,760
last year, you know,
particularly linebackers and

1035
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,320
safeties, you know, being able
to to stop the run, prevent

1036
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,280
those big plays and just, you
know, play good disciplined

1037
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,000
football in the back seven.
I think if they do that, then

1038
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,040
they should have they should
have a good time.

1039
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:21,880
I mean, look, Tech is a much
better team.

1040
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,560
They have better time almost
every position.

1041
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,240
It's a game you got to win.
I'm not a big, you know,

1042
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,920
believer in you have to win by X
amount of points, but it'd be

1043
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,080
nice to see them kind of take
care of this one by a couple

1044
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,280
touchdowns at least.
So just come up motivated, ready

1045
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,360
to play and and go into the
stadium knowing that you're the

1046
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,600
better team.
Bron Siegler.

1047
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:44,640
Do not sleepwalk into this game.
Do not, do not come into this

1048
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:50,560
game and not decide to play to
your potential for two to 3/4.

1049
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,600
We saw what what happened to
Florida State, we saw what

1050
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,720
happened to SMU.
Don't do that.

1051
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,120
Don't do that.
But the biggest thing for me is

1052
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,120
especially if Diego Pavia is the
quarterback and starting

1053
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,680
significantly for Vanderbilt in
this game, don't let the

1054
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,240
quarterback's legs beat you,
especially on 3rd down.

1055
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:19,200
We don't need a bad offense
extending drives because we get

1056
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,440
a little undisciplined on 3rd
down and long because that's

1057
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,600
going to be frustrating.
That's not going to be fun to

1058
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:26,840
watch.
Don't do that.

1059
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,720
If you take care of that
business, I'm not really worried

1060
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:32,040
about anything else, to be
honest with you.

1061
00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:33,880
I'm not worried about anything
else.

1062
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,880
All right, I guess I get to go
last and it's similar to

1063
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,320
actually similar to what all
three of y'all said.

1064
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,120
My biggest thing is do not play
down to this team.

1065
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,920
Act like this team is the best
team in the country and go out

1066
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,560
there and play your A game.
And especially for me on the

1067
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,440
defensive line, in the offensive
line, because basically what we

1068
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,840
see from what Shelton's given
us, this is not that very good

1069
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,040
of an offensive line.
Go take their damn lunch money.

1070
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,600
So take their lunch money,
offensive line.

1071
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,520
Same way I'm looking at this.
They lost their leading SAT guy

1072
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,400
last year to USC.
Go take their lunch money.

1073
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,760
Make them want to go to the
sidelines.

1074
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,840
Want to look there and say,
listen, just let them run this

1075
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,920
game in, but just run this ball
in.

1076
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:23,320
Let this be the game.
I'm tired of getting hit so.

1077
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,160
Don't lay down, let me ask you a
question.

1078
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,640
I was thinking about this too,
because we've interviewed

1079
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,920
probably a couple of times and
and we can only go by kind of

1080
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,800
what he says.
And he came in as a defensive

1081
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,320
coach and he took the reins kind
of on defense.

1082
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,840
He had a defensive coordinator
first year, but he kind of took

1083
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,080
the reins on handling the
defense.

1084
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,320
And he said himself it was a lot
of work.

1085
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,360
You know, it was times when he
might or should have been in

1086
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:52,160
another room that he was focused
on that defense and maybe

1087
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,040
offense may have, I don't want
to say went lacking because I

1088
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,600
don't want to, you know, put the
words in his mouth.

1089
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,040
But you know, what we talked to
and what he said.

1090
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:02,080
How much do you think that's
going to affect them, that their

1091
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:07,720
coach is effectively head coach
and DC all at the same time?

1092
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,560
And then you've got all of this
stuff going on on your defense

1093
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,880
and you're going into a a game,
you're going into a season

1094
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,840
against a formidable opponent.
You know, like, how do you think

1095
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,920
that's going to affect them?
I think for them, I think that's

1096
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,480
why he brought in kill because
he feels like he needs someone

1097
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:26,600
to control that side of the
ball.

1098
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,760
But I think what that could
cause is issues within the

1099
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,800
locker room because you and
Brian both played and if

1100
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,440
everybody ain't on the same page
as coaching, getting everybody

1101
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,720
time, get everybody on the same
page, that can screw shit up,

1102
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,200
they can screw shit up quick.
I think for him, I think he did

1103
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,000
the move because he's in his
fourth season.

1104
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,280
They've not had any good season
since he's been there.

1105
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,680
This is like this is the last
ditch effort.

1106
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,640
He knows that if he can't manage
probably four wins this year,

1107
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:59,360
he's probably got one more lame
duck season then he'll fire so

1108
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,160
last and to be honest, so maybe
he screwed up from the

1109
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,680
beginning.
Maybe he should have taken the

1110
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,720
range and put his imprint on
that defense the first couple

1111
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,240
seasons.
Not when he gets to the point

1112
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,720
where you are one of the worst
defenses in the country.

1113
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,160
You're now losing good players
to bigger program.

1114
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,280
So that's my opinion on it.
I don't Sheldon Brown if y'all

1115
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,160
got any takes on that.
Yeah, I'm right there with you.

1116
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,760
I think it's the Jerry kill
effect.

1117
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,240
I think that's why you brought
him in.

1118
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,680
You brought in a coordinator
that you're comfortable with and

1119
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,120
now you got a guy essentially
overseeing that, that

1120
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:36,280
coordinator that was the head
coach for that coordinator at

1121
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,680
the previous stop.
So from a, you know, tree

1122
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,480
perspective that, you know, it's
still kind of flowing the same.

1123
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:49,760
I think the bigger thing is that
now you essentially in some ways

1124
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,400
have two head coaches.
You got a defensive focus head

1125
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,560
coach and then you got a de
facto offensive focus head

1126
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,960
coach.
I don't know if that's a good

1127
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,480
thing from a messaging
standpoint because you don't

1128
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,800
have one unified message from
the top down.

1129
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,560
You kind of are talking about
this is the offensive lingo,

1130
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,400
this is the defensive lingo.
And I don't know how they have

1131
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,160
it structured, but I could see
it going sideways like that if

1132
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,000
it's not structured in a in a
very succinct way.

1133
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,400
So that that that's my concern
for them with that set up.

1134
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,560
But I think it's also why Lee
was OK with making that step is

1135
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,360
because he had somebody like
Kill to kind of run the

1136
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,440
offensive side of the ship.
You got anything that?

1137
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,240
No man, we we know that Jared
kills.

1138
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,200
Never afraid to pull a punch if
you know.

1139
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:44,040
Anything.
Shelton Moss predicts Kill Lee

1140
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,040
are in fight by Week 3.
Let's go ahead and put that out

1141
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,760
there.
If he, if Jared Kill has an

1142
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,240
issue, we think he's going to
let you know about it, that's

1143
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,480
for sure.
Hey, at least kill him back.

1144
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,640
You've been known to coexist.
Big day you go.

1145
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,800
Cannot be said.
The same thing cannot be said

1146
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,400
for Brad or Nelson.
So 100.

1147
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,040
Percent. 100%.
All right.

1148
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,680
Well, boys.
We always get to a time in this

1149
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,480
program where we have to make
our predictions for the game and

1150
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,560
we do it.
We don't dance around it.

1151
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,480
We last year there were games we
sat in here and we said we're

1152
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,240
going to lose this game there.
Games we said we were going to

1153
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:17,800
win.
Sometimes we were right,

1154
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,040
sometimes we were wrong, but
always got to lay it out there

1155
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:22,640
the way we're feeling about this
game.

1156
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,520
And I will let Jonathan Talley
lead the way on this.

1157
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,320
Mr. Talley, what's your
prediction open wise?

1158
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,080
Hokies by 17 man, I say score is
going to be somewhere around

1159
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:43,200
3434 to to 1734.
Fourteen kind of what I'm

1160
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,440
thinking, yeah.
So 17 like I said, 3414 for for

1161
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,040
the Hokies.
Hey by the way guys, we are not

1162
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,640
picking this game against the
spread anymore this year.

1163
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,880
Everyone got pissed off at us
last year because they got

1164
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,960
confused whether we were taking
money line or spread.

1165
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,120
So they got.
Pissed when it.

1166
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,240
Comes to Hokies, we ain't
picking spreads.

1167
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,200
This is all who's winning and by
how much?

1168
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,320
Right, there we go.
All righty.

1169
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,640
So Shelton, what about you?
As you're going to be, you said

1170
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,880
Raleigh, right?
Yep, going to be watching from

1171
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,240
Raleigh.
I will take the Hokies 34 to 20.

1172
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,680
I think it's made a pretty
average pedestrian game.

1173
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,280
I think Texan get off to a hot
start.

1174
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,760
Vanderbilt will come back a
little bit, maybe get close to

1175
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,800
evening it up.
But in the end, the the superior

1176
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,280
talent and depth of the Tech
roster will carry them to

1177
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,240
victory by two touchdowns, and
they will cover.

1178
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:35,600
Bron.
Give me Virginia Tech 3717.

1179
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,360
I like a good twenty point
victory here.

1180
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,360
I don't think that offense is
going to be able to do a whole

1181
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,520
lot against our defense.
I I think that we'll be able to

1182
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:50,040
score pretty regularly.
You know, we're not going to

1183
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,240
necessarily run it up like we
did against UVA, but I think

1184
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:56,160
we're going to be able to score
consistently against them. 3717

1185
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,360
sounds good to me.
All righty, and I'm not far from

1186
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,680
either any of y'all 3 on this.
I am.

1187
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,640
I do have the closest score, but
I told tally earlier today

1188
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,880
pretty much I was at 17, I'm at
3423 final.

1189
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,960
I think they get some garbage
one minute left touchdown with

1190
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,040
nobody that's on that 2D chart
playing, just getting some guys

1191
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,640
some reps and they give up a
late touchdown and it looks a

1192
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,800
little bit closer than it
actually is.

1193
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,680
But you know what, Brian, you
said something.

1194
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,640
If we get the opportunity, I
hope we do run it up.

1195
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:33,080
You know, it's like make a
statement, especially if you can

1196
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,880
get like Colin and you can get
pop out there and then score a

1197
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,800
couple touchdowns, run it up.
Because your nuts against SEC is

1198
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,360
always fun no matter who it is.
Always fun.

1199
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,440
Please, let's do.
That because as it stands right

1200
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,840
now, Brian has a score in the
most at 37.

1201
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,800
Everybody got it in the 30s, but
Brian's saying 37 and that's the

1202
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,000
highest than any of us think.
We'll go on.

1203
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,120
We we are being.
Very please prove what's wrong.

1204
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,040
Prove us wrong, guys.
Yeah, put 60 up.

1205
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,200
Please put 60.
Please, all righty.

1206
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,120
So they're the predictions we're
all going with the hokey wins

1207
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,840
all of us by double digits from
with the biggest me with the

1208
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:17,360
smallest margin of victory and
tally and Sheldon right in

1209
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,760
there.
So there goes that.

1210
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:24,640
Now we get to turn to other
games for this weekend and what

1211
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,880
we have.
Brian got to play around Y'all.

1212
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,200
He got to play around.
We are going big screen.

1213
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,440
Look at that y'all look at that.
Look at that graphic.

1214
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,760
If you're watching on the
podcast, go to YouTube, check

1215
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:42,160
out the beautiful graphic that
Brian has picked big screeners

1216
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,160
week one.
It is presented by counts family

1217
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,080
pharmacy and again, I'll just
say this, if you don't know

1218
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,760
counts family pharmacy will be a
gobbler fest four to seven on

1219
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,880
the drill field.
Go send somebody there that can

1220
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,320
win that PS Five and then give
it to me because I.

1221
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,160
Ain't got?
Because I told you about it.

1222
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,920
Curtis is now spitting this into
him getting APS. 5.

1223
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,680
That's why you plugged it a
third time guys, I'm.

1224
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:08,480
Going to plug it a fourth time.
Watch.

1225
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,640
All right, so we got a bunch of
getting.

1226
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,280
First of all, good weekend in
college football starting

1227
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,600
Thursday night through Monday,
Good games all over the place.

1228
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,400
But we're going to let Mr.
Siegler kick it off.

1229
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,760
Brian, where are we going for
this game?

1230
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,560
Yeah, we've got Clemson and
Georgia.

1231
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,080
That's where we're going first.
Yes, Hot Atlanta, baby, Hot

1232
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:34,000
Atlanta.
Dome.

1233
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:40,080
And the line?
The line is 13 1/2 in favor of

1234
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,400
Georgia.
And you know what?

1235
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,520
I'm riding with Georgia.
I think Clemson is fucking down.

1236
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,680
I think Clemson is burnout.
I think Clemson is done.

1237
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,520
And I think Georgia is going to
go ahead and start the kindling

1238
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,120
that's going to be the fire that
burns their ass the rest of the

1239
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,320
season.
All righty, I'm opposite of you

1240
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,880
on that.
I first of all, I'm not that

1241
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,880
impressed.
So everybody loves Carson Beck

1242
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,800
and just what I've seen him it
just it doesn't pop to me. 13

1243
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,880
1/2 is a monster number.
The one thing is Clemson that

1244
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,920
has not changed over these past
few years is that damn defense

1245
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,560
is good.
So if y'all remember a few years

1246
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,080
ago there was this game where
there wasn't an offensive

1247
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,320
touchdown scored just one
defense.

1248
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,720
I'm going to say Clemson covers.
I don't know who's going to win

1249
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:26,680
it.
I'm going to be I'm going to be

1250
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,200
watching the Hokies game.
So I'm really not going to be

1251
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,000
paying attention.
I'll, I'll figure out after

1252
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,840
that.
Callie, what about you?

1253
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,720
Well, when you don't watch that
game and you figure out after it

1254
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,760
what happened, George is going
to be done whoop Clemson's ass.

1255
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,200
Clemson's got too many chats and
Eric's.

1256
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,800
They got to go get some Kwan's
and Deshawn's.

1257
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,640
That's all I say.
Georgia covers Sheldon, what

1258
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,440
about you?
Well, I'm a little bit higher on

1259
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,760
Clemson than Brian is.
I know they're not what they

1260
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,400
used to be, but I think that I
still like their coaching staff.

1261
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,800
13.5 is a pretty big spread.
I think Clemson will lose this

1262
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,040
game, but they will cover.
All right.

1263
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,720
And our newest colleague,
Miranda says.

1264
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,920
George.
George we are a split family on

1265
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,800
this game so therefore we will
not be putting our.

1266
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,040
Money.
That's a nice little pattern

1267
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:21,880
there too.
You know we.

1268
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,920
When did Jason pick this?
He did not.

1269
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,360
Do you want him to pick every
week?

1270
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,240
I guarantee you he will and lay
money on.

1271
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,000
I'm just wondering because I
mean, we're at a kind of odd

1272
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,520
number right there, you know
what I'm saying?

1273
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,560
You know, I think if Jason gets
in that we might really be

1274
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,040
split, you know what I mean?
That's just my opinion.

1275
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,520
I was wondering, did he pick?
I'd like I'll call him.

1276
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,160
I'll need to know what he thinks
about this.

1277
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,200
All right, listen, we will get
in touch with him tomorrow and

1278
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,160
see if he wants to start giving
picks for all the games.

1279
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:53,840
Knowing him, of course, knowing
him, you know he does more more

1280
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,800
action on Saturdays.
All righty.

1281
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,480
Well, I got the next one.
Here, Jason just texted me and

1282
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:03,560
said he's taking Georgia.
He's taking there we go, Jason

1283
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,440
taking Georgia with the 13 1/2.
Tell him he's got, we got a few

1284
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,960
more to go here.
So he's got to stay on the line

1285
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,160
with us.
All right, I have got the next

1286
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:16,600
one up here and I'm going to
Sunday night going out to Vegas,

1287
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:22,880
USC versus LSULSU, the four and
a half point favorite kind of

1288
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,240
far away from home with the LSU
fans are crazy.

1289
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,400
I'm sure that place is going to
be dealt with purple and all

1290
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:32,840
that.
And Brian, I want to see what

1291
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,680
you got with this one first.
That line isn't big enough.

1292
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,080
Give me LSU all the way.
Give you LSU all the way.

1293
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,600
Yeah, that at least a touchdown,
at least a.

1294
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:46,000
Touchdown All righty.
Let me think about it here.

1295
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,520
Let me think about it here.
You know what I'm I'm with you,

1296
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,440
I'm with you.
I think it's just a little bit

1297
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,400
too big.
LSU later 4 1/2 take the over.

1298
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,080
The over is only 64 and y'all
know Lincoln Riley can score

1299
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,720
points, but he don't play
defense ever.

1300
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:07,640
So 4834, take the over.
LSU wins.

1301
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,280
Ali, what about you?
I don't know much about either

1302
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,040
one of them teams, I'm going to
be honest with you.

1303
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,279
But I do know I got a good
friend's son that plays on USC.

1304
01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:22,439
He transferred from Georgia
State and he plays defensive end

1305
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,040
linebacker that his name is
Jamil Muhammad.

1306
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:29,000
Everybody give him a look.
I'm going with Southern Cal just

1307
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,479
for that reason.
I'm going to support my boy and

1308
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:37,000
I'm going to say Southern Cal.
Al covers Sheldon, where are you

1309
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,359
laying on this one?
Sunday after a weekend in

1310
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:41,680
Raleigh.
That's a good football name, by

1311
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:42,479
the way.
Jamil Mohammed.

1312
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,960
I like like Tally.
I don't know what time about

1313
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,640
this teams.
I just kind of felt like Lincoln

1314
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,200
Riley is going to come with a
little bit of a chip on his

1315
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,600
shoulder trying to prove some
people wrong.

1316
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,720
So I think, I think USC is going
to take it.

1317
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,120
All right, USC says that,
Miranda says.

1318
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,960
Miranda is riding with me and
you, Curtis.

1319
01:09:02,279 --> 01:09:06,920
And Jason texted me he's taking
LSU with the four and a half

1320
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,160
tally.
Do you need to make a change?

1321
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,000
No, we got to talk to Miranda
about her picks.

1322
01:09:12,399 --> 01:09:14,240
She's coming.
She's coming in wrong right now.

1323
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:17,160
She coming in wrong on this.
One Miranda, if you watch it.

1324
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,960
No, because Tally follows
Sheldon, so I'm following

1325
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,120
Sheldon.
We good, but I got analytics

1326
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,120
backing me up, man.
Hey, we can't lose.

1327
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,600
So Miranda, you need to get on
the right board.

1328
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,520
You need to get on the right
ship right now.

1329
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,720
Tally's sitting here saying if
it feels good and then Shelton

1330
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,000
says the statistics.
Feel.

1331
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,600
Come on now.
He feels good.

1332
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:41,640
There we go, all.
Right.

1333
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,040
Well, Tally, we know you've got
a very special pick, not your

1334
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,120
typical big Screener, and I'm
going to go ahead.

1335
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,840
Take the floor, my friend.
Yeah, so my alma mater,

1336
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,439
Jacksonville State, will be
playing Coastal Carolina.

1337
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,480
As y'all know, or you should
know, my daughter is a freshman

1338
01:09:57,480 --> 01:09:59,600
at JSU.
We went and dropped off last

1339
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:04,160
week.
So this will be her first game

1340
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,960
as a She's been to a couple of
Virginia Tech games, but this

1341
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,400
will be her first college game
as a college student.

1342
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,080
So that is a Thursday night
game.

1343
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:17,280
I've told her she better do
everything she can skip class to

1344
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,520
get there to go and be a part of
that because that's going to be

1345
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:27,280
an awesome, awesome atmosphere.
And also, Jacksonville State

1346
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,040
plays Louisville the next week.
So I'll be paying attention to

1347
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:34,200
kind of see what they have so I
can so I can be rooting against

1348
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,280
Louisville when they play them.
Nice.

1349
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:37,560
All right, Well, let's go across
the board.

1350
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:38,520
We'll get to you in just a
second.

1351
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:43,160
Tally Brian, who you got?
With the love of the game, give

1352
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,640
me Jacksonville State baby.
Let's go right with my man

1353
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,120
Sally.
I I'm with you because I want to

1354
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:53,120
see your baby girl see a dub on
her first collegiate game, and

1355
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,680
I'm with Jacksonville State.
And we are, as we, I'm going to

1356
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:58,600
put it up there, we already
know.

1357
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:03,640
As we used to say when I went
there in 2004, no, that's a long

1358
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,480
time ago.
You can't beat our cocks.

1359
01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:13,080
Go game, cocks.
I feel, I feel about to know

1360
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,480
that I'm going against the
green, but I might have.

1361
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,160
I might have to take the L here,
but I'm going coastal.

1362
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,800
That's OK, all right.
He's going coastal.

1363
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,720
You got to switch it up to Alex
because Miranda went coastal as

1364
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,120
well.
She followed.

1365
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:29,400
She followed Sheldon.
That's OK.

1366
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,200
I ain't going to be mad.
I don't know.

1367
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,040
All righty, all righty.
Next one.

1368
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,120
We did let our esteemed new
rider choose a game.

1369
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,160
Why wouldn't we?
And she chose the Saturday night

1370
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:42,880
10.
No, this is Sheldon next.

1371
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,360
My bad.
Sheldon, our esteemed colleague,

1372
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,200
West Virginia, Penn State, what
you got on this one man?

1373
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,200
Why you choosing?
I'm going first.

1374
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,640
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, I just, I thought it

1375
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:58,840
was I think it's a really good
game.

1376
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,680
I know that the that crowd is
going to be electric, you know,

1377
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,360
kind of a big time non
conference matchup and I will

1378
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,320
take WVU to cover plus eights.
I think the crowds going to get

1379
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:12,800
on low lift.
I don't think they're going to

1380
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,360
win, but I do think they will
cover.

1381
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,640
All right, they're not going,
but they're going to cover.

1382
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,080
Brian, what do you have on this
one?

1383
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:24,120
Yeah, You know what?
Give me the Nittany lines.

1384
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,280
I think it's going to be a big
home game.

1385
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,600
I think that that that home
atmosphere is going to carry it.

1386
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,480
Give me Penn State.
You know this is in Morgantown,

1387
01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:33,680
right?
I did not.

1388
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:34,760
Damn.
Uh oh.

1389
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,400
Yeah, it's in Morgantown, buddy.
It's in Morgantown, Brian.

1390
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,560
You know what I'm going to ride.
I'm going to continue to ride

1391
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,760
with Penn State, continues.
We'll continue riding with Penn

1392
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:44,000
State.
I, I think they're going to,

1393
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,000
they're going to pull it out
even though it's in Morgantown,

1394
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,440
like Morgantown.
Yeah, this is like one of those,

1395
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,080
I don't know, like, thank you,
Penn State for Pry.

1396
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,360
I got a couple people at work
that are Penn State alums.

1397
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,240
Always tell them thank you for
Brent Pry.

1398
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,840
You don't know how much you have
made us a happier society down

1399
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,120
here.
But this game being in

1400
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,960
Morgantown, like Sheldon said, I
think it's going to give a

1401
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,600
boost.
I think it's going to be a war.

1402
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,160
Can I, can I do something?
Can I go real off for saying I'm

1403
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,480
choosing West Virginia?
I hate the schedule for this

1404
01:13:17,480 --> 01:13:19,960
opening weekend.
Clemson, Georgia's at 12, we're

1405
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:21,560
at 12.
This games at 12.

1406
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:27,120
There's like three really good
freaking games at noon and

1407
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,840
there's only like one at 3:30
and there's only one at 7:30 and

1408
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,320
there's only one on Sunday.
Can they get that shit right?

1409
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:39,080
Like that irritates me as a fan.
That irritates me as a fan.

1410
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:40,280
I understand.
Spread it out.

1411
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:41,520
Spread it alone.
Like, spread it out.

1412
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:46,480
Like, I want to sit here from
noon to midnight, eat a lot of

1413
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:49,400
bad food, drink a few beers and
have fun.

1414
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,680
Instead, it's like, oh, it's
going to be at noon.

1415
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,680
Hey, I will be sitting in a bar
after our game anyway and

1416
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,960
watching everything that's out
there, so whatever's on, I'll

1417
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,320
watch it.
We either.

1418
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,280
Going to be drinking to have fun
or we we either going to be

1419
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,600
drinking to have fun or we going
to be drinking our sorrows away.

1420
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,600
So I'd much rather be drinking
to have fun.

1421
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:15,680
I'm going to take Penn State
just because fuck, fuck West

1422
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:20,480
Virginia and and them heels have
eyes looking motherfuckers from

1423
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:24,200
over there.
That's all I got to say.

1424
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:30,040
And Shell's already told us he's
got WVU here, and Miranda's

1425
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,400
riding WVU as well.
So West.

1426
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,280
Virginia.
Sheldon and Miranda.

1427
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,040
It's just, it's just like that.
It's that stinky line.

1428
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,480
Like it's such a stinky line.
And if.

1429
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:43,920
I had looked at the schedule
wrong.

1430
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,200
I might would have went with the
WVU, but I'm staying on business

1431
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:51,560
what I put out there.
All right, let's go now to

1432
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,360
Miranda's.
Yeah, I, and I forgot to mention

1433
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,080
Robbie, put it in the chat for
us.

1434
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:06,520
What's that?
Sorry, did I cut out?

1435
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,600
I'm good.
You cut out, but you get, I

1436
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:13,640
said, hey shit, you cut out
again.

1437
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,400
Rich Rod is the coach at
Jacksonville State.

1438
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:17,320
That's all.
Oh, yeah, yeah, there you go.

1439
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,640
Yes, he is the coach at
Jacksonville State.

1440
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:26,920
All right, so now let's go to
the only big prime time matchup,

1441
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:34,000
Notre Dame, Texas A&M in College
Station, TX A and M3 Point

1442
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,400
favorites.
I think it's a straight up

1443
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,640
three, which is very awkward to
be a straight up three.

1444
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,120
This is Miranda's pick, by the
way.

1445
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,720
Yeah, yeah.
Good game.

1446
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,760
Good, good.
Solid choice, Ron.

1447
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:53,360
You know what, I've given A&M a
lot of shit in in recent years.

1448
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:56,560
Everybody knows that.
It's well documented.

1449
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,560
I don't think this is going to
be necessarily significantly

1450
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:06,480
different, but I do think they
have the horses to cover this

1451
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,800
measly three line.
So give me the Aggies.

1452
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,960
Here, All right, I am completely
against you on this.

1453
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,400
I actually think Notre Dame is
going to win this game outright,

1454
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:25,280
so I'm going to take the points
just because in this case, Elko

1455
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,640
is a good coach that he's going
to a situation where you feel

1456
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,200
like it's more horses.
The question is, as we've seen

1457
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:35,440
throughout so many times, some
guys can't just go in as a head

1458
01:16:35,440 --> 01:16:37,120
coach and take the talent and
win.

1459
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,600
They can find the young, they
can take the the lesser guys and

1460
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,040
build them up like he did at
Duke.

1461
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,560
I got to wait to see what he's
going to have at A&M.

1462
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,720
They did lose some stuff in the
portal and I don't know, I'm

1463
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,960
just, I, I, I can't believe in
Texas A&M until they actually do

1464
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:58,320
it in front of me.
Fair enough, Tally what you got.

1465
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,760
I'm going to say Notre Dame.
I'm just going to give it to the

1466
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:06,840
Irish on here.
No real reason.

1467
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:11,880
I just I like, I like the Irish
in this game and kind of what

1468
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:13,960
Curtis said.
You know, I do want to see Texas

1469
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,640
A&M show me something before I
pick them.

1470
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,160
Shelton.
I found a good stat nugget.

1471
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:26,440
So last 42 years, Notre Dame has
never had a season opener where

1472
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:29,760
they have not started a senior
on the offensive line.

1473
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,520
That's Shrek will end this year.
So they don't have any seniors

1474
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,440
starting for them pretty young
online.

1475
01:17:34,440 --> 01:17:36,440
They're going into a Lion Skin
and Kyle Field.

1476
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,240
I think the Aggies are going to
be motivated.

1477
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,000
They've they've heard people
talk some crap.

1478
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:41,400
You got a really talented
roster.

1479
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,160
I think they're going to take
this one in the season opener.

1480
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,000
And Miranda rode with me and
Shelton on this one, taking the

1481
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,480
Aggies.
All righty all.

1482
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,000
Right.
I wish Shelton would give me the

1483
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,280
that before he makes.
All right, before before we get

1484
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,760
to the last one, give.
Me the stuff too, Sheldon.

1485
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,280
Come on man.
Give him to give him the gritty.

1486
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,280
Just a couple before we get to
our last pick here, our buddy

1487
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:13,120
Robbie saying tech by 21 tally.
We take that, wouldn't we?

1488
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:17,120
You know what I love?
I love running it.

1489
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,640
Yes, Sir.
Hi, Chris.

1490
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,440
Hi, Chris.
Hi, Chris.

1491
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:24,600
We'll definitely take that too.
All righty, so we got one more

1492
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:29,680
game to pick in this year as
part of our Big Screeners

1493
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,600
special.
Our music man Jason Long is

1494
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,200
going to be giving us a little
something something every week.

1495
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:39,000
This week, he's going to
Boulder.

1496
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,600
Welcome to the 1st edition of
Guitar Licks and Gridiron Picks.

1497
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,920
I'm Jason Long.
You've been hearing my music on

1498
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,400
the Boundary Corner podcast for
several years now.

1499
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,880
Well, this season the boys asked
me to come on and talk about

1500
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,560
another one of my great
passions, sports gambling.

1501
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,440
So each week I'm going to be
matching up tunes and bets.

1502
01:19:15,440 --> 01:19:25,040
Sort of like a.
Degenerate hippie sommelier and

1503
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,040
week 1.
We're headed to Boulder.

1504
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:42,160
And the car ride ride Mountain
High, seeing rain fire in the

1505
01:19:42,960 --> 01:20:07,520
sky and everybody 's high
Colorado, North Dakota State is

1506
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,040
visiting Colorado on Thursday
night.

1507
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:11,880
Now look at this point of the
season.

1508
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:14,680
I don't know who's making the
playoffs, what the bold matchup

1509
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,200
is going to be, but I figured
this should be an interesting

1510
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,200
game.
The Buffaloes started strong

1511
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:20,960
last year, but they finished
just four and eight.

1512
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,440
That has not stopped Coach Prime
and his team from talking a

1513
01:20:24,440 --> 01:20:27,760
whole lot of trash this summer.
Time to see if they can bag it

1514
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,120
up.
Now it's year two.

1515
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:32,040
Their depth should be better.
And I keep hearing that QB

1516
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,080
Shidor is a Heisman finalist and
a future top five NFL draft

1517
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,680
pick.
And hey, I'm not hating.

1518
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,320
I want to see it happen.
So no offense to North Dakota

1519
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,920
State.
The Colorado should take care

1520
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,920
of.
Business here at home, in prime

1521
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,120
time no less.
So with my first pick of the

1522
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:53,120
2024 season, I'm taking Colorado
-9 1/2 points.

1523
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,960
So go get them Buffaloes.
And of course, let's go Hokies.

1524
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,640
See you next week for another
edition of Guitar Licks and

1525
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:32,920
Gridiron Picks.
All righty, so there is Jason.

1526
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:37,920
Jason taking Colorado, laying
the 9 1/2 points with a little

1527
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,640
Rocky Mountain High.
And we're going to be doing that

1528
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,680
every week.
Jason's going to be throwing us

1529
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:43,920
games.
He's going to be throwing us a

1530
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:48,080
little music in.
Here goes the long way back with

1531
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,200
Jason.
So glad to bring him on for one

1532
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,000
little segment.
So he's picked it, played a

1533
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,840
little tune for us.
Brian, who are you taking in

1534
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,680
this last big screen or Thursday
night?

1535
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,800
You know what, I'm I'm going to
ride with the Buffaloes here.

1536
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:08,000
I just think even with some of
the offseason shenanigans and

1537
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,440
kind of everything, all the
hype, all the talk, all the

1538
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:14,760
trash talk, all all the
silliness that we've seen, I

1539
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,760
still think in this case the
Buffaloes just have too much

1540
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,920
talent at at a lot of key
positions.

1541
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:22,200
I think they're going to take
the win.

1542
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:25,960
Yeah, I'm with you.
I definitely think they're going

1543
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,000
to take the win.
And I definitely think, just

1544
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,960
hold on real quick here.
There you go.

1545
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:37,720
Appreciate it Chris, I'm going
Colorado taking the points 9

1546
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,560
1/2, but I think it is going to
be a dogfight just because of

1547
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,960
the clash of styles.
As y'all know, North Dakota

1548
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,840
State loves to absolutely # the
rock.

1549
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:50,360
We know Colorado was subjective
to giving up some runs last

1550
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:55,560
year.
So Colorado later 9 1/2, they

1551
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,640
probably close them out mid
fourth quarter went somewhere

1552
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:03,400
between 16 and 17 points.
Before I get to my.

1553
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:07,920
Before I get to my pic, I want
to know what was on that table

1554
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,520
behind you, Jason, look like a
whole bunch of lotion, different

1555
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,520
types of lotion and why people
don't be wearing lotion like

1556
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,360
that.
I know what you're using that if

1557
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,000
that's lotion for look like
Vaseline too.

1558
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,400
But anyway, I'm going to say
Colorado.

1559
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,160
Jason, you need to be texting us
and let us know what's on that

1560
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:31,640
tape.
Sheldon, what you got?

1561
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,560
So first of all, I know I saw
Robbie had a question to chat.

1562
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,600
Is there really a difference
between a Buffalo and a bison?

1563
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,200
There is.
It's actually somewhat of a

1564
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,480
misnomer.
Only bison.

1565
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,920
Bison are in America.
Buffalo are not in America,

1566
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,200
they're in Asia.
So with all due respect to

1567
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,560
Colorado, your name does not
make sense.

1568
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,720
I never knew that.
It's always a bison.

1569
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,160
It is not a Buffalo.
So with that being said, I am

1570
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,200
taking, I'm taking Dion and the
bus.

1571
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,400
I know this is a trendy pick for
NDSU, but they do not have the

1572
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,840
speed to keep up with Colorado.
They're going to wear them down

1573
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,600
in the second-half and they will
win this game.

1574
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,240
And he will avoid embarrassment
for now.

1575
01:24:16,440 --> 01:24:18,840
And finally, Miranda's on this
pick.

1576
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,960
When we're riding the whole way
back, by the way, Tally Jason

1577
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:25,400
said.
It is a Lego set.

1578
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,240
Oh OK, OK I'm old man, my eyes
is bad.

1579
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,360
I was just trying to make sure I
was trying to see.

1580
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:36,920
You.
You would have been real

1581
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,760
suspicious if you tried to say
it was lotion, but not for the

1582
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,200
reason you think.
So at least.

1583
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:43,800
At least he went with something
else.

1584
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,120
It's a Lego set, everybody.
I'll wait.

1585
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,720
You're the air.
By the way, the gambler man

1586
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,600
Jason Long also says
Jacksonville State, take

1587
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,600
Jacksonville State in that game.
So he didn't get us all of them,

1588
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,840
but yeah, so.
All right, we got we got a

1589
01:24:57,840 --> 01:24:59,120
rundown here.
Let's look at it.

1590
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,400
Let's look at this.
This is where we landed.

1591
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,920
All right.
OK, Are we wrong?

1592
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,720
Did we get it right?
Let us know.

1593
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,800
We're going to get them wrong.
Don't worry.

1594
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,280
Oh yeah, definitely.
I'm definitely getting them

1595
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:13,560
wrong.
I think I had the worst.

1596
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,000
I know I had the worst picks
last year.

1597
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,640
It was horrible.
So I'm going to do much better

1598
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,440
this year.
I'm starting off good.

1599
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,800
Y'all better follow me because
we're going to make some money

1600
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,600
this year I'm telling you.
Make some money.

1601
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:30,280
Somebody got to keep a record of
this.

1602
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,920
Might want to do that for us.
Curtis Curtis, you just gave

1603
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,720
yourself another job, man.
Great job man.

1604
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,720
Somebody needs to do this.
Somebody needs to.

1605
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,480
Keep on this shit.
Let's go.

1606
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,640
Let's go.
Anything breaking in the last

1607
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,640
hour and 26 minutes, boys?
You know what?

1608
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:54,280
I don't see anything breaking.
I ain't got nothing breaking,

1609
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,400
but I do got a question I got to
ask.

1610
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,080
I always ask a lot of dumb ass
stuff, right?

1611
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,040
So I got to ask some dumb stuff.
This is going to be starting

1612
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:08,640
with Shelton Sheldon, Virginia
Tech Hokies first game of the

1613
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,280
season.
How do we score first this year?

1614
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,200
What's the first score that we
had?

1615
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,320
Let's see, because I'm a big fan
of his.

1616
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:23,440
I'm going to go Jalen Lane.
It's going to be let's go, it's

1617
01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:25,120
going to be a pass behind the
line of scrimmage.

1618
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,240
We're going to get a good block
in the perimeter and he's going

1619
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:28,960
to take it to the house for a 17
yard score.

1620
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:35,640
Oh, Dang, that was pretty.
If this comes true, we going to

1621
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,120
have to.
We're going to have to do

1622
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,080
something about Sheldon.
I know something's up.

1623
01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:44,320
Brian, what you got?
Give me a Benji Gosnell slugo.

1624
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:47,280
OK all.
Right.

1625
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,960
I'm going to go next and then
Curtis, I'm going to let you

1626
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,120
finish it up.
I got to go.

1627
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,200
I got to go with my quarterback,
quarterback keeper.

1628
01:26:55,960 --> 01:27:01,000
I don't have a certain amount of
touchdown yards.

1629
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:06,400
I'm just saying Karen Drones
quarterback keeper touchdown

1630
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,400
first, first score of the
season.

1631
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,640
First score of the season.
All righty.

1632
01:27:12,440 --> 01:27:15,800
Karen Drones is involved with
mine, but he's not scoring a

1633
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:20,480
touchdown.
He is throwing about a 45 yard

1634
01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:24,680
bomb to Daquan Feldon as we pick
on those inexperienced lap bad

1635
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,760
cornerbacks and he going to pull
it out and what are you going to

1636
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:29,240
do?
Like he was going down the pit

1637
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,400
last year.
He going to let every single

1638
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,880
player on Vanderbilt's know what
it's all about.

1639
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,440
All the Robbie's would be cool
too.

1640
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:41,160
Put that back up there real
quick.

1641
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,680
Robbie's would be cool too.
Just house the first one.

1642
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:45,480
You want to talk?
About get it out of the way,

1643
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:47,400
let's.
Get it out of the way.

1644
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:48,920
Let's.
Get it out of the way.

1645
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:50,840
All right.
I like that tally.

1646
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:52,880
You know what?
That might become a statement at

1647
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,840
the end here how he scoring the
first touchdown this week.

1648
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,720
Keep it going.
Some weeks I'm so nervous, man,

1649
01:27:58,720 --> 01:27:59,920
I I wouldn't even know what to
do.

1650
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,600
I mean, you're nervous.
This week though, the the nerves

1651
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,800
are off with week one,
Especially when it's like, you

1652
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,840
know, games that it's not a
conference game, it's it's not,

1653
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,320
it's none of that stuff that has
like super long term impacts on

1654
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,080
you.
You know, it's one of those

1655
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:17,920
games you want to win, you
should win.

1656
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:20,920
You want to get over.
Just aren't there because of the

1657
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,280
stakes that aren't.
There's no real stakes attached

1658
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:24,640
to it, so.
Right.

1659
01:28:25,440 --> 01:28:26,880
But we want to get off on the
right foot.

1660
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,280
Oh yeah, definitely.
Want to get out, You want to get

1661
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,880
feeling good, you want to get to
feeling good.

1662
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:36,200
I know y'all can be like this.
Y'all want to walk around

1663
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,720
Nashville all Saturday night
with the hokey gear on with your

1664
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,760

Shelton wants to walk around

1665
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,200
Raleigh, downtown, wherever
you're doing with the hokey gear

1666
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:44,520
on all Saturday night.
And same here.

1667
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,720
That's what the way we want to
feel and I think it's going to

1668
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,600
happen this week, boys.
