Week Seven

The Hokies hit the bye week at an even 3-3 after taking care of business at Stanford for a 31-7 win. We Tell the Truth about a positive trend in consistency for a Hokies team that had shown flashes of greatness in the first month of the season. We then welcome in Chris Lester to give us his perspective perspective of the first 9 months as a Hokie player's parent and the first six weeks of this 2024 season.

00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,760
partners, Brian Siegler and
Jonathan Talley.

4
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,240
I am Curtis Wilson and this
episode is brought to you by

5
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Doctor Jeremy Counts at the
Counts Family Pharmacy in

6
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Blacksburg, your friendly
neighborhood pharmacy, three O 1

7
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,200
S Main St.
Fellas, it is a winning Tuesday.

8
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,360
How's everybody doing today?
Winning Tuesday, buddy.

9
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,440
I am, as they say in the biz,
loving it.

10
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,520
What a crazy ass weekend in
college football, and I'm glad

11
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,280
that we weren't part of that
statistic.

12
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,160
I can agree it was good to watch
a game and relax, like be able

13
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,400
to drink something and hold it
down without throwing it up

14
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,440
every 5 minutes.
You know what I'm saying?

15
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,000
And I'm just talking about
water.

16
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,720
I ain't talking about alcohol
because a lot of times when you

17
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,600
watching games, you can't eat
and you can't drink.

18
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,880
You don't know what's going up
three hours.

19
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,720
That's not, we ain't pregnant.
We ain't supposed to be having

20
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,520
stomach aches that, well, most
of us ain't, you know, ain't

21
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160
supposed to be having stomach
aches that long.

22
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,400
So it was good just to be able
to kind of sit back, relax,

23
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,320
watch a game.
Things look the way they were

24
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
supposed to look.
People did what they were

25
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360
supposed to do.
It's excitement.

26
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,479
And we all go on load that
tonight as we always we tell the

27
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,800
truth on Tuesdays about the
game.

28
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,720
But can we just before we jump
all into that and we do have a

29
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,600
special guest coming on with us
later that you all find out in a

30
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,920
little while.
It's going to be a lot of fun to

31
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:26,960
talk to him.
Let's go back 17 years ago.

32
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,800
We were all in our 20s, all
probably have a good time.

33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Not not, not much care in the
world.

34
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,560
Here, there.
Y'all remember 2007, right?

35
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,560
You heard that?
Crazy ass freaking football

36
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,920
year, dude.
Look crazy.

37
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Look crazy?
I remember it.

38
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,480
I remember it.
I remember it for good and bad.

39
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Yeah, say that.
Because because we were on the

40
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640
side of some of that.
I was like, yeah, we was up in

41
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,200
there.
We were really up in there, but

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,040
I'm going to tell y'all Friday
night you were starting with

43
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,880
Syracuse, UNLV, all the way to
2:30 in the morning with Cal and

44
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Miami and all the upsets in
between.

45
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,480
That was one of the wildest days
ever.

46
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,880
And like Tally said, I'm glad we
were not a part of it.

47
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,000
I am glad at a certain point in
time of watching our game, I

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,960
still paid attention, but I'm
sort of watching some of those

49
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,960
other things and it was just
like, is this really going to

50
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,240
happen?
So, so so Tally had had people

51
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,160
around your area been prodding
you all year saying y'all lost a

52
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Vanderbilt.
Oh man, it's been, that's the

53
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,280
beauty of college football.
It's a it's a week to week

54
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960
thing.
And I'm so, I'm so hokey that

55
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,840
it's like at this point I just
take it for the week.

56
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,520
You got these people that just
are so excited every week.

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Oh, we beat Georgia.
I can't believe y'all lost to

58
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Vanderbilt.
When we lost to Vandy, I was

59
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880
getting messages from you know
what?

60
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,080
I got more messages from Auburn
fans than I did Alabama fans.

61
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,680
The Alabama fans didn't even
have Vandy on their radar.

62
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Like they were just like, OK,
whatever, you know?

63
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,840
But I had a lot of my Auburn
friends was like, can't believe

64
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,800
y'all went to Nashville and lost
to Vandy.

65
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Oh, Oh well, it must be the SEC
and all this.

66
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Like I heard that so much and
I'm like, OK, I was like, I

67
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,160
don't know who they going to
get.

68
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,280
They going to get somebody and
they got somebody.

69
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,880
They they got the head of the
food chain is what they got.

70
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,600
Oh man, that #1 ranking did not
last long.

71
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Not long at all.
It was they.

72
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,760
They shouldn't have jumped taxes
anyway.

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,120
So that was that was like a come
up.

74
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Inside.
Oh yeah, it was.

75
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,200
A self self correction.
And it's been it's been very,

76
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:48,560
very mixed emotions between
Alabama fans that I've seen just

77
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,400
putting up Facebook posts and
kind of messing with them and,

78
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,960
you know, talking to them.
You got half of the fans to go.

79
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440
What's his first year?
We didn't expect him to go

80
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880
undefeated.
And you know, we got a new we

81
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,200
got a new program that, you
know, we still can get in the

82
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,400
playoffs.
So we ain't tripping.

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,000
We rather lose to them now than
lose this.

84
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,800
Then you got that other group
that's going our deep.

85
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,200
Our defensive coordinator sucks
and we got players that ain't

86
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,880
listening.
It would never happen under

87
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,000
nick.
What are we going to do?

88
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,560
So it's if you think we crazy
like bro, I'm telling you like

89
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,240
they they expect to win every
game, every single game.

90
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,680
So it's been a little nuts for
just the people that I even know

91
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,160
and like I said, just the kind
of Facebook friends and things.

92
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Yeah, I've.
I've heard some of the crazy

93
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,160
folks calling into fire bombs,
so I can only.

94
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,360
Imagine what you're hearing.
Oh yeah, he got some.

95
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,160
I know he man, I know he getting
paid right now, you know, 'cause

96
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,280
he know he, he, he live, he
lives on them losses, man.

97
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120
That's what he makes the money
when, when something bad

98
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,320
happens.
So yeah, he, he, he feeling good

99
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,600
right now.
Well, what a piece about

100
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,160
watching that game because that
was a 4/24/15 kick.

101
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,040
So our game had gotten, we were
kind of under control because

102
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,080
kind of when, when the, when the
first quarter ended, there was

103
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800
getting there halftime for our
game.

104
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,600
We come out of half, we scored a
21 and I'm, I'm going to be

105
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400
honest watching Stanford and I
know we're going to talk about

106
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,640
it, but it was like they ain't
driving the field more than

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,720
maybe once to get a touchdown.
They're not driving 3 or.

108
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,600
Four times, never thought they
were going to hit a big play on.

109
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Us no, they couldn't hit a.
Big play.

110
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,080
We're not.
That's in the data.

111
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,320
Once we had the two touchdown
lead, it was like all right, so.

112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560
So we're just.
Going to keep them at least at

113
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320
arm's pace the the rest of the
way because they they can't

114
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640
score quick.
I'm not worried about that.

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,880
They're going to try to
methodically run the ball down

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,280
the field and occasionally mix
in a couple passes here there,

117
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,960
but they're not going to do
anything crazy.

118
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,200
So you weren't really worried
about them getting back in.

119
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,800
And then I don't know about
y'all, but I got hit up by

120
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Lavar, Our buddy Lavar, he sent
me a message.

121
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,120
He's like, hey, I know it's
early 14.

122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Nothing, Vandy.
Yeah.

123
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160
But it was, it was.
And that became our focus.

124
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Then.
I was paying attention to our

125
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,320
game.
I saw like Keonta's

126
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
interception, some of the late
John's kick and everything.

127
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,600
But you saw Diego Pavia and you
saw that offense start running.

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
It was just like, can they
really do this?

129
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,760
But when Bama got close, it was
like, I thought it was like, oh,

130
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560
that's it, that's it.
They they toyed with them.

131
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,960
So because of how good
Vanderbilt is, because of how yo

132
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,320
we like the 8th rank, was it 8th
or 9th strength to schedule now?

133
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,360
Yeah, it's something crazy.
It's insane.

134
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
And.
And apparently, based on where

135
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
we at now, the easiest going
forward, one of the easiest

136
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
going forward.
Don't listen to it.

137
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,000
They don't.
Have.

138
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Changes.
It changes every week.

139
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,000
It does.
Don't be.

140
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840
Yes, I did.
I did see that though, like you

141
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,120
said, I mean, but.
Just say it in general.

142
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,680
And then it got better Saturday
evening when Tennessee lost to

143
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Arkansas because they were
running their mouth.

144
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,040
That fan base had been running
their mouth.

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,280
We're going to be in about 100.
We're going to smoke them like,

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
no.
And then the last play of that

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,160
game is the brilliance of
college football that kids

148
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,520
running.
And it's like stupid.

149
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,200
It ain't no more time left on
the clock.

150
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,280
You need to you need to throw
the football and he steps out of

151
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,160
bounds.
Takes a hit while he steps out

152
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,240
of bounds.
It's just like y'all dumb.

153
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Yeah, crazy dumb boy.
You're earning this one.

154
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Yeah, definitely.
It was a it was a crazy good

155
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,840
week.
You're doing a weekend kind of

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,760
like you said, Curtis.
The thing that was so intriguing

157
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,760
to me and, and just what first
of all, with the transport

158
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,840
portal, I feel like it does even
college football out more

159
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,920
because you have so many teams
who usually wouldn't be able to

160
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,280
compete.
Now you really don't know

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280
because they have these players
that probably wouldn't have been

162
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,160
there that come in and can make
a difference.

163
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,760
But when you watch that
Vanderbilt game, it's like they

164
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760
controlled the game the whole
game.

165
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:09,320
That was more like it.
It's cool that they won, but the

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240
thing to me was like they
controlled it, like they were

167
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600
the better team that day, you
know what I'm saying?

168
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,160
So yeah, that was that was
crazy.

169
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,480
And it is true, it's the
transfer portal.

170
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,040
And I know a lot of people were
thinking it's not going to make

171
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,120
a difference because all the
best players are going to go to

172
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,640
these big programs.
The whole piece is you can't do

173
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,400
that with limitations.
And the whole piece is also, if

174
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,960
you're a really good player,
what do you want to do?

175
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,760
It's why we got APR right.
You want to play.

176
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,560
Because you can be the most
talented person in the entire

177
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,800
country.
If you don't get on the field,

178
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,080
you ain't making it to Sunday.
And they can say, well, NIL is

179
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,960
going to pay.
You know what, if you don't get

180
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000
on the field.
I got this eerie feeling, those

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,080
NIL dollars that you might have
got the first year that was six

182
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,920
or seven figures, you know, Has
he been on the field yet?

183
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440
Now we still paying him
$400,000.

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Yeah, we are.
We ain't paying him $400,000

185
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200
next year.
We're going to pay him 5050 if

186
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,040
he wants to stay, right?
It's that thing that's going on

187
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,320
now.
I'm going to ask you all this

188
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,920
before we get into telling the
truth.

189
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,440
Actually, this is a tell the
truth moment.

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Did the ACC save Miami a second
time?

191
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,560
Yep, at least on two calls in
that final drive, if not more,

192
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,360
should have been targeting.
They even looked at it.

193
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,480
They looked at it again.
No targeting on the the go

194
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,760
ahead.
You had like 2.

195
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,560
Yeah. 6 yards downfield.
Yeah, yeah.

196
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,040
It's like, I don't know, man.
I do think that they they were

197
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360
helped again.
But on the other hand, I'm like,

198
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Cal, if you got somebody and
again, I get it, you, you still

199
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,440
have to call the game the way
it's supposed to.

200
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
I know we were up on Miami, I
think 10 points, but it was up

201
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
on Miami.
Big man at home.

202
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,480
You're you're up big at home
with game day there.

203
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,440
You cannot squat.
You can't even let them hang

204
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,680
around.
You can't squander that.

205
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,920
So I'm tell you, when I thought
it was a little freaky, though,

206
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,960
I didn't say nothing, but I was
watching it when the when the

207
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,360
receiver, when they went for it
on the fourth down, the the

208
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,200
running back comes out of the
back back field and catches

209
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,880
that, that fourth and one
little, you know, flat route and

210
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,960
takes it like 60 yards or
whatever.

211
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,320
And he's high stepping to the
end zone like he's doing that.

212
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,080
And then he goes and grabs the
pom poms.

213
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,520
I was like, I don't know if I'd
be doing all that now, you know

214
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,080
what I'm saying?
Like I kind of was thinking

215
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720
getting a little bit too
excited, you know what I'm

216
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,120
saying?
Knock him off, then we'll

217
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,920
celebrate.
But yeah, I went to sleep

218
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,280
thinking for sure that Kyle had
the game and woke up the next

219
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,200
morning and they figured out
they lost by one.

220
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,000
I was like wow.
It is what it is.

221
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,920
It's college football.
It's a crazy world.

222
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,680
And to your point, you don't
grab the pom poms until the

223
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,400
scoreboard says 000 and it's
over.

224
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:11,840
Then you can grab the pom poms
and play all you want.

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,880
But let's get to the Hokies.
Hokies take care of Stanford on

226
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,680
the road, a 2.300 mile flight, 6
hours in the air for the boys to

227
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,560
go out there and spank them 31
to 7 and it's a lot.

228
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:29,640
That went well on Saturday.
We can be straight up with that.

229
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,880
You can be real with it.
But I'm going to tell you the

230
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,720
one that I loved because we said
it.

231
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,840
I said it a couple weeks ago and
we've been saying it on this

232
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,800
podcast.
We need an identity.

233
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,640
We need an identity.
I went further and said we need

234
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,800
to run the ball 6% of the time
passing 40.

235
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,160
We were right on 6040.
And how did Kyron look?

236
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,000
Kyron look more comfortable.
We rolled the pocket a little

237
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,200
bit.
He got some runs in.

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,120
Tuden got some runs in.
His accuracy was up 70%.

239
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,840
One of the actually maybe the
most accurate passing game in

240
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,840
Virginia Tech history, if not
very close to it.

241
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960
You know, some big plays, some
smart plays.

242
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,560
Tally, you've been saying it for
weeks.

243
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,600
They finally let Kyron be Kyron.
Let him be young man.

244
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,000
So my thing is, you know, from
watching the game and what I've

245
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,360
seen all season and I don't know
what the behind the scenes talks

246
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,640
are.
I don't know, you know, I know

247
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Karen wants to go to the NFL,
you know, of course, you know,

248
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,920
that's why they play the game.
And I don't know what's been

249
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,360
promised to him.
I don't know what the what they

250
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,080
want to do to developed him to
be a NFL quarterback.

251
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,440
But I do know the system they
were trying to put him in at the

252
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,920
beginning of the season wasn't
working.

253
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,280
He is never going to be dropped
back and passed the ball 40

254
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,200
times to these receivers, even
if he plays in the NFLI.

255
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Don't think that's what he's
good at, you know what I'm

256
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,040
saying?
He's got to move around.

257
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,280
He's got to do some different
things.

258
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,080
You got to roll the pocket.
He has to get comfortable.

259
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,240
It's like I don't want my
quarterback to take a lot of

260
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,760
hits.
But it seems like Kyron gets

261
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,160
energized when he feels some
contact, you know what I'm

262
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,080
saying?
Like he's not afraid of it.

263
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,200
He knows how to fall forward.
He knows when the.

264
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:31,200
Oh, we got a frozen tally here.
There we go.

265
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Nope.
He's still frozen.

266
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,720
He's still.
Frozen.

267
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Frozen in time.
Brian, I'll let you continue the

268
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Grand Tare until Tally gets
back.

269
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Yeah, I mean speaking to to to
what Karen does.

270
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Well, I mean, you know, when we
look at it it, it's really

271
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,040
funny.
I mean, we talk about trying to

272
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,680
limit the quarterback getting
hit and, and stuff like that.

273
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,320
But the only time I've ever seen
him come up gimpy is when he

274
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,560
gets hit in the pocket or when a
right tackle steps on his leg.

275
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:10,200
So you know, when he's moving,
when he's running, he looks like

276
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,120
a different quarterback.
When we play a game that runs

277
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,760
through him and what he can do
with his legs and what Tooten

278
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,280
can do in the running game and
let everything else kind of

279
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,480
supplement and complement that,
That's when this offense looks

280
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,840
really good.
And it, it's, it's helping

281
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,640
because, you know, you're seeing
that threat and you're seeing

282
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,560
some of those things that
weren't open in the game early

283
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,600
in the year open up a little
bit.

284
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
And I think some of that is that
we're, we're being a little bit

285
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:48,240
smarter with our, our motion.
I'm seeing a lot of lot more

286
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,160
misdirection with motion and
being smart with the way that

287
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
we're using the, you know,
everybody was complaining about,

288
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,640
OK, well, we're going, you know,
east West instead of

289
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,880
north-south.
But when you're smart with

290
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,320
motion, you can spread folks out
and get people's eyes confused

291
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
and, and, and make that work.
And we're doing that a whole lot

292
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,520
better now than we were doing at
the start of the season.

293
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,560
So that's, that's going to be
some credit to Tyler Bowen

294
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,400
making some adjustments with
what he was doing early a little

295
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440
bit, probably too vanilla and
being a little bit more complex

296
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,920
with it now.
Well.

297
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Yeah, and it and it's also the
taking of the first four weeks

298
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960
of the season because again, I
think we're going to I think

299
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,320
there's going to be a lot of
Tech fans.

300
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,800
I'm one of them and I'll
probably ponder it all year is

301
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,360
what we saw the last two weeks.
If if that is the team that

302
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720
shows up in Vandy and I know
vandability in Alabama, but I

303
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,960
think this team would beat that
Vandy team.

304
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,760
I think this team would beat
that Rutgers team.

305
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Why did it take so long?
That's going to be our

306
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,360
frustration because that doesn't
need to happen.

307
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,960
You've had this group ready for
a couple years and I know I'm

308
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,320
getting a little bit, you know,
a little bit negative in that

309
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,560
sense.
But yeah, he did look relaxed in

310
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,960
the pocket that week.
And let's just be straight up

311
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,360
with it.
When he got relaxed in the

312
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,320
pocket, what kind of was the
issue?

313
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,440
The first four weeks was it was
only a few guys showing up in

314
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,839
catching balls.
Was not that way.

315
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:15,880
Saturday, five guys with catches
led by Daquan Felton at Is he

316
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,800
back?
He's coming back in.

317
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,640
Is he back all right?
It's cycle before I get on that,

318
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,359
all right?
I'm back.

319
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,880
He's back.
Alabama Internet baby.

320
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Man, I'm telling you, they
didn't like it.

321
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,880
They didn't like that talking
about Vanderbilt stuff.

322
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,600
Oh.
Man, they they.

323
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,400
Cut it off.
They cut it off.

324
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,560
I had to reboot it everything.
Everything while I was sitting

325
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,640
here saying Tally, we would
mention a little bit more about

326
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,680
Kyra looking comfortable and
everything, but I was saying

327
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,200
here if we noticed the boss
scores the last few weeks pre

328
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,000
Miami won a lot of names
interceding just a couple boss

329
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,360
couple guys where this this
Saturday?

330
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,280
Yeah, Daquan Felton leading the
way.

331
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800
You had Steven, you had Jay
Lane, you had Aiden Green making

332
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,480
catches.
You had little Gosnell making

333
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
catches, five guys multiple
catches.

334
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,600
And I mean that that that
catching the the the the

335
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,520
catching pass to Daquan Felton
there in the early third

336
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,000
quarter.
That's pretty because it won't.

337
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,520
It was one spot he could get
that ball through and he put it

338
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,440
right on them it.
Was a tight window and a great

339
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,800
catch by Felton on that one
because I mean, he had the where

340
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,080
he had to put it in there.
It was like a little bit behind

341
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,840
him, reached back, snatched it
off to the races, baby.

342
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,920
Yeah, and that's kind of what
I'm, I'm sure y'all were hitting

343
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,560
on it, but kind of what I was
saying before the Internet

344
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,720
decided to act crazy was like, I
understand they probably had a a

345
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:50,480
lot of stuff they had to talk
about before the season, you

346
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,760
know, getting people to come
back.

347
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,040
And I know everybody wants to
shine, but at the same time

348
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,160
everybody wants to win.
You got to do the things that

349
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,880
help your team win.
You know, and Kyron sitting back

350
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,120
there throwing the ball 40 times
to six different receivers may

351
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,000
not be the winning recipe, you
know, especially when you got a

352
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
running back like 2.
And like, I feel like they knew

353
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,800
that Stafford had a a good
running defense, but they still

354
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,720
say it.
We got to go through we got to

355
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,320
we have to go through two.
He didn't have the 100 yard game

356
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,040
like he's been having, but every
run that he touched the ball, he

357
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,840
punished somebody on that
defense.

358
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,960
He he put I mean, even the
announcers were saying they

359
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,600
cannot get him to fall
backwards.

360
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,160
He was getting hit by two and
three people.

361
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,280
He kept falling forward.
So you know, shout out to him

362
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,440
for for going out and performing
like he has being stable for us

363
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,920
all season.
But just those 73 yards he got

364
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,840
were tough yards, man.
But he did his job.

365
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,960
And that just opens up so much
for our offense.

366
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,040
So when, when, when Tooten is
going the way he's going, Kyron

367
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,240
feeds off of it, then we open up
the pass game.

368
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,320
It's going to be hard for people
to beat us if we play like that.

369
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,160
Yeah.
And, and to that point, I mean,

370
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,920
when you look at what Tooten was
able to do on the ground, and I

371
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,680
think the big thing that we're
seeing we we didn't, you know,

372
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,000
we didn't weren't necessarily
great on a yards per carry

373
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,200
standpoint, or at least as good
as we've been the last few

374
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,880
weeks, but they were effective.
There wasn't a whole lot of

375
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,920
tackles for loss.
It kept us on schedule and it it

376
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,400
enabled us to do the things we
wanted to do in the passing game

377
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,600
to complement that rushing
attack.

378
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,520
So I think that's the big thing
to take away from that is that,

379
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,560
you know, they do have a very
good rush defense.

380
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,480
We still put up put up a very
good number against them in the

381
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,560
rushing attack Despite that and
we're able to really exploit

382
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,440
them in the passing game.
Yeah, they are an elite rush

383
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,320
defense.
They are a top 15 rush defense

384
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,320
in the country.
They given up under 90 yards a

385
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,400
game under.
You don't rush for 90 yards a

386
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
game.
You ain't doing much at all.

387
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,600
We got over 50 more than that
Saturday, but we kept going to

388
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,760
it.
We didn't just quit.

389
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,400
It wasn't like, well, we can't
run the ball that good.

390
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,200
We ain't getting 15 yards.
We ain't averaging A to carry

391
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,120
like we did last week.
Let's just stop.

392
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:17,240
It was like no tally.
To your point, the identity is

393
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,560
still to run the ball and
punish.

394
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,720
And they keep every time you get
a little closer and you get 3 or

395
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,040
4 more, the safeties get a
little bit more down.

396
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320
The linebackers try to take a
step quicker to get there right

397
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,840
because they're trying to get
the tackle for loss.

398
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,480
And that's what happened
Saturday.

399
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,800
They were out of spots a few
times that the first touchdown,

400
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,400
Steven Godnell a little inside
slant because they faked it.

401
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,600
That linebacker just bit up on
the outside because because he

402
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,160
saw the the the inside
linebacker had basically took

403
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,000
the gap away from 2 and he was
coming to take the gap away If

404
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,960
Kyron pulled and the second he
pulled and he saw that

405
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,360
linebacker step, Stephen was
right there.

406
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,080
Perfect slant, slant touchdown.
It's not a.

407
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Problem.
What I loved.

408
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,640
Go ahead.
Yeah, What I loved about that

409
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,240
drive was just.
It was a methodical Dr. just I

410
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,120
mean, you love to see big plays,
but it was just like they just

411
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,920
said, we're going to be bigger
and stronger than you this game.

412
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,440
If y'all want to be physical,
we're going to be physical.

413
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,480
And they just, we just worked
our way down the field.

414
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080
What did you say?
What did you say last week we

415
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,640
needed to do?
What did I say?

416
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,200
Oh, punch.
We had.

417
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,840
You had to punch, man.
I forgot.

418
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,840
I said a lot of stuff.
Crazy.

419
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,480
Keep punching.
Yeah, you got a punch, man.

420
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,040
I was like, you gotta yeah, you
got to drink that Red Bull and

421
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320
get pissed like that's what we
did.

422
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,920
And you know, like even they had
a long drive, they didn't finish

423
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280
with points.
We had a long drive, we got an

424
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,320
end zone.
And from then on it was just

425
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,000
like, OK, it's business as
usual, let's go make it happen.

426
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,280
So Yep, great to see they.
They didn't get their job done.

427
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,640
We came back and that first
drive was scripted really well

428
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,760
there.
We saw a lot of different

429
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040
things.
We saw some, I, I talked about

430
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840
it while you were getting your
Internet straight there Tally,

431
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,200
you know, some different motions
thrown in with some of those

432
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,440
East West plays that we were,
we've been running a lot of that

433
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,080
was getting the linebackers eyes
a lot more confused and giving

434
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,680
us an opportunity to get some
plus yards on those plays that

435
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,280
we weren't seeing earlier in the
year.

436
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,200
You know, we mixed in a little
little in and around on that one

437
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,400
to, to Jay Lane.
That got us a good like 20 yard

438
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,520
gain on that.
Should have been a touchdown.

439
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,440
Yeah, should have been a
touchdown.

440
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,440
Should have, but I mean, it was,
it was a I, I like the calling,

441
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,080
I like the mix.
I, I, I like kind of the way

442
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,000
they approach that drive and,
and really kind of, I think set

443
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
the tone for the rest of the
game from an offensive

444
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,760
standpoint.
I'm telling y'all, man, I don't,

445
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,360
I don't know why I keep seeing
it and feeling it, but they got

446
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,600
to continue to like they got to
get to car Heath involved in

447
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,760
that offense.
If I'm the defensive

448
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,560
coordinator, like of course, I
think I know they see what we

449
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,440
see when he gets on the field.
He just had something a little

450
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,600
bit different, you know, like he
hadn't been able to do much with

451
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,400
the ball because we hadn't got
him the ball much.

452
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,960
But if you go back and look at
that play, he was the one that

453
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,120
was motioning and when Karen
took off, they look like they

454
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:14,160
were going to run the option the
other way.

455
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,880
It was to Kai Heath that had
everybody's eyes going one way

456
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,840
and I'm like, I probably would
have been following Jay Lane,

457
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,960
which is who he tossed it to,
and he went the other way.

458
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,040
So I mean, with just a couple of
things that he's done, people's

459
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,480
noticing when he comes in the
game, which is a good thing.

460
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,600
I just want the coaches to
continue to get him involved in

461
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,640
the game because I think that
when he touches the ball, he's

462
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,440
going to be electric.
And I mean, you know, when we

463
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,200
look at that, I mean, there's a
reason that somebody like, you

464
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,440
know, XTB that had a good number
of snaps last year, you know,

465
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,440
most of those are going to
Takahi this year.

466
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,960
And and there's a reason for
that because he's got this like

467
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,400
ability.
I think that's a little bit more

468
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560
dynamic.
And you know, you're seeing it

469
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,240
on special teams and you're
seeing it even even most of

470
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,200
these, you know, some of these
decoy opportunities on offense,

471
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,200
you know, you're seeing them
respect the play making ability

472
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,840
to that he has.
So it's going to be interesting

473
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040
to see if we can get him more
involved in the offense.

474
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,120
And obviously, you know, look at
long term, you know, being one

475
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:23,600
of those, you know, big options
at slot. 100% Well, offense,

476
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,680
we've been talking about the 1st
15 minutes here, I'll talk about

477
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,680
the defense.
Defense gave up seven points. 7

478
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,640
They gave up one touchdown.
They they cause pressure all day

479
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,400
long.
Somebody asked how many sacks do

480
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,600
we have Saturday?
It seems like is it 5?

481
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:43,720
Could have been 8.
Could.

482
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,240
Have been eight, could have been
eight.

483
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:50,000
You know, Sheldon's always
helping me on stats and stuff

484
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:54,000
and the one they always talk
about, he loves his habit Havoc

485
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,520
stat.
Our Havoc stat was basically

486
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,720
20%.
So basically one out of every 5

487
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,480
plays they ran, we either got
them for a loss, we got a sack,

488
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,600
we tip to pass, we got in their
face, we cause pressure 20,

489
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,360
That's insane.
I looked at the the data,

490
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,360
literally that's a 94th
percentile.

491
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,040
That means it might be 5 or 6
teams in the country at that

492
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,400
rate that was doing it Saturday.
And I mean, you sit here and you

493
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,360
say we had that many sacks,
could have had more.

494
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,240
Let's be honest.
Let's be honest, a period didn't

495
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,400
get a sack Saturday and we got
that many.

496
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,880
We need Caleb Spencer to finish
on his sacks.

497
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,840
He he keeps getting there.
He keeps getting there, man.

498
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,840
Go a little bit lower, drop,
bend, bend, bend in the hips

499
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,120
just a little bit more.
They ducking up, they ducking

500
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:47,680
out of them, you know what I'm
saying?

501
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,840
But he's there.
He's in the right position.

502
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,440
That lets me know that it's the
right play call.

503
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,000
So shout out to Marv.
I think he was the ACC

504
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,760
coordinator of the week or Co
ACC, whatever he was, you know,

505
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,800
got to give him some props.
Yeah, give him some props for

506
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,600
doing doing what he's supposed
to do.

507
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Great game plan.
And for the people, because we

508
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,400
know some people out there to
say, where's Stanford?

509
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,160
They suck.
You know, you're going to have

510
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,920
those people who are always
going to say something.

511
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,440
Well, guess what?
We play some other teams that

512
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,640
everybody say suck and they
still was causing problems.

513
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,720
We wasn't putting a full game
together against ODUI don't feel

514
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,120
like we put a full game together
against Marshall.

515
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,720
I don't feel like we put a whole
a full game together.

516
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,440
Stanford, I feel like that was a
complete game.

517
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,600
You know, of course it wasn't
perfect.

518
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,680
No, no games are going to be
perfect, but it was it was

519
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080
close.
You know, it was a lot more put

520
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,160
together than any other game
we've played all year.

521
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,200
So shout out to the team for
being ready for having to go

522
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,880
that far.
Back to what Curtis said,

523
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,480
talking about the defense
causing havoc.

524
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,480
You know, another pick, Kiante
Jenkins, we knew he threw it

525
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,840
right to you, you know, but
that's OK, you caught it.

526
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,800
We needed to.
So hey man, I I enjoyed what I

527
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,960
watched.
Yeah, to piggyback on that, I

528
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,240
mean, you know, we we've looked
at two weeks in a row where you

529
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,960
feel pretty good about most
phases of the team.

530
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000
And, and, and at least from a
competitive standpoint, this is

531
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,040
kind of the the quality of play
that we expected out of this

532
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,760
team before the season.
You know, we we thought that

533
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,600
this team could go toe to toe
with the Miami that that's

534
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,040
ranked in the top ten.
We thought this team should be

535
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,960
able to handle a Stanford for
four quarters and keep them at

536
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,760
arm's length and then finish the
job in the in the third and

537
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840
fourth quarter.
And we did that.

538
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,720
So we're starting to see this
team play to the, the ability

539
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,720
that we thought they had.
And that's a very positive sign,

540
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,080
right.
So I, I like what I'm seeing.

541
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,320
I want us to keep doing it.
You know, when you, when you get

542
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,600
to, you know, you, you'll call
it a blowout.

543
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,680
The final score is definitely a
blowout in, in, you know, it's,

544
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,040
it's a game that we handled
start to finish.

545
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,120
And, and I think that was a good
thing for us to to do,

546
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,720
especially how we saw most of
September go for us.

547
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,120
Yeah, this is one of those weird
games.

548
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,040
The score definitely screams
blow out, but it wasn't like the

549
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,000
blowout, if we had went up, if
we had done 21 in the first

550
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600
half, I'd call it a blowout.
It was a controlled game.

551
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
It was like AI always like to
use boxing terminology because

552
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,720
it's one of those it's we were
the better fighter.

553
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,440
We knocked them down early.
They kept coming.

554
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,440
We knocked them down again.
We didn't really knock them out

555
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,480
until like the eighth round.
They got the shit beat out of

556
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,840
them, but we didn't really knock
them out to the eighth round.

557
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,560
But I'm going to say this and
it's great seeing this and, and

558
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,760
we've already said it, young
players are starting to make an

559
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,240
impact.
We've already mentioned Caleb

560
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,080
Spinner.
He was a transfer, but he was a

561
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,760
freshman last year down in
Miami.

562
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,000
He is young.
We saw most Phillips last week,

563
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,760
this week playing good.
And there's one that literally,

564
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,600
I kid you not, y'all, right
before we got on, there's one

565
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,720
player on the defensive line
that started to pop.

566
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,280
You all say, can we do it in?
Can we do it in tune?

567
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,240
123.
Stevens.

568
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Stevens and and Tally, you were
mentioning just his look, so

569
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,400
kind of go on to what you were
talking about before we jumped

570
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,960
on tonight.
Yeah, so of course, being, you

571
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,880
know, Virginia Tech fan, you
used to seeing, I mean, I don't

572
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,280
want to, I don't want to diss
nobody, but you used to see him

573
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:42,360
5 foot 11, you know, 220 LB
defensive ends and lineman.

574
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,760
And that's OK.
I ain't said nothing's wrong

575
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,040
with that.
Those guys play hard.

576
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520
But he just had a different look
to him.

577
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,280
You know, when you look across
the line, a lot of our guys

578
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,720
aren't the Super tall defensive
lineman like you see in some of

579
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,880
the SEC schools.
But we have we're we're getting

580
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,280
longer.
But Stevens has a look to him.

581
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,840
When you look at him, I'm like
that He looks, you know, he

582
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840
looks thinner than everybody
else.

583
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,120
But the reason he looks thinner
than everybody else is because

584
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,560
he's 65, almost 66.
And you know, he may be two 4245

585
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,760
and he's quick.
You know, he's moving.

586
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,160
He he's got good moving.
This wasn't the first week that

587
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,160
he got on the field.
He was on the field against

588
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320
Miami.
So the the best in the ACC right

589
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,000
now, you know, he he was on the
field against them and he didn't

590
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,240
look like he was missing a step,
you know, because for the most

591
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
part, when you play a team like
Miami, they're going to be

592
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080
they're going to have playmakers
and they're going to be fast.

593
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080
He didn't look out of place
being out there, you know what

594
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,880
I'm saying?
He looks like he's a young

595
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,920
player and he's getting some
steps in, but he didn't look

596
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,440
like the moment was too big.
And then when you go to the

597
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Stanford game, you know, I'm
really paying attention to his

598
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,520
build and I'm looking at him.
I'm like, oh, he quicker than

599
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,080
them.
Oh, he's moving.

600
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,440
Oh, he's, oh, he knows what he's
doing.

601
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,840
Oh, he's going to the right
places.

602
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:12,960
So to see that and then along
with, you know, Q Reddish, you

603
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,520
know, a true freshman, you know,
that came in early, just got out

604
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,480
of high school and he's on on
the field.

605
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,760
And probably I think somebody
put it in the chat, said he had

606
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,320
the cleanest tackle of anybody,
perfect form tackle, running

607
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,840
back, tries to jump through the
hole.

608
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,880
He comes in, puts the head on
the side where the ball is,

609
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,800
drives him into the ground
perfect.

610
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,080
Like that's what we have on the
bench.

611
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,680
That's some not just those
players that we mentioned, but I

612
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,440
feel like it's a lot more over
there than what that came from.

613
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,240
So I ain't going to start
talking about next year.

614
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,040
But I mean, I'm excited for the
future, man.

615
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,520
And I think Steven said it, you
know, I think Stevens was one of

616
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,920
prize first commits or first
recruits, but then he got hurt.

617
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,080
I think he tore his ACL or
something like that.

618
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,920
So probably was a year behind
where he wanted to be or what

619
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,960
they wanted him to be.
But he's a true sophomore,

620
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:06,640
right?
Curtis?

621
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Is he a true sophomore or is he
a red shirt freshman?

622
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,120
Probably a red shirt freshman.
I think he's a red shirt

623
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,880
freshman.
I'll, I'll check and look while

624
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Brian, it's a little bit more on
Stevens and what you thought of

625
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,080
him.
Yeah, and I think he's a guy

626
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,520
that came in, you know,
recruited as a as a linebacker,

627
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,800
kind of kind of made that, you
know, transition to to D line

628
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680
there.
I think he was kind of playing

629
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,560
as a tweener when we were
recruiting him.

630
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,560
So we probably had an idea of
we're going to start you here,

631
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:39,360
but you probably go end up over
there with JC's group and you

632
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,200
know, he's somebody that's that
you're looking at his bill, like

633
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,080
Tally said, I mean, he's a guy
that can go out there size wise

634
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,120
and and and hang with folks.
I mean, you know, 65 right

635
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,480
around 250.
You know that that's a good

636
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,000
size.
You know, he's probably still

637
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,160
got some some growth potential
there, you know, put on maybe

638
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,080
another 10 lbs.
You know, he can be a one of

639
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,760
those big ends with with a
little bit of a little bit of

640
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,600
twitch.
You know, I don't know if I'll

641
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,480
I'd take him in a in a 40 yard
dash, but he don't need to run

642
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,719
40 yards playing defensive end.
He can get her.

643
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,679
He's he's got really good
quickness, even if he doesn't

644
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:18,360
necessarily have that top end 40
speed that you're looking for.

645
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,440
So he's definitely going to be a
guy to watch and I like, I like

646
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,600
the future for him.
Yep, and this is the honest

647
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,800
truth right here.
He has jumped some of the

648
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,600
upperclassmen and the one thing
I like about him, it's 65 is

649
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,080
usually we see guys 65.
If we ever get somebody that

650
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
big, we always have to move them
inside, right, because they

651
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,320
don't have the bend.
There were a couple plays in

652
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,159
Tally.
I feel like you mentioned this,

653
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,920
you saw him, he got down a
little bit and it's like, oh,

654
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,280
that's, that's bend right there.
Like that's, that's something

655
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,000
that usually if you've got that
bend, you're never going to play

656
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,159
inside because there's only so
many tackles that can deal with.

657
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:59,760
And again, if he gets to that
26265 range and he puts it like

658
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,760
you said, he's muscle, He is not
fat, he is muscle.

659
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,040
His progression could be really
good.

660
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:07,800
Go ahead.
What you got?

661
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,720
One more tally.
Yeah, I was just going to say,

662
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:12,000
Asian Stevens, if you listen to
this show, I'm going to give you

663
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,920
some game.
Oh, boy.

664
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,800
If you want to be a hokey
legend, you ain't got to do much

665
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,560
work.
We want you to do some work, but

666
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,800
you ain't got to do much work.
Put a little cut on your nose

667
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,200
and have some blood running out
of your nose and put a Band-Aid

668
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,280
on it.
Hey, you good to go?

669
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,360
Hulking nation loved them white
boys with the bloody noses.

670
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,960
Hey, it's real easy, man, Just
just, you know, loosen that chin

671
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,280
strap a little bit, take a good
one to the to the nose with the

672
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,960
face mask coming down on you.
It'll bleed a little bit.

673
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,800
So the Band-Aid on there, you
all said.

674
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,280
I think Tally done froze on us
again.

675
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,880
Unless he's just not moving.
We'll see, we'll see.

676
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,280
I think he froze on us again,
but while he is frozen, I'm

677
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,880
going to jump over.
We've already talked about a

678
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,320
stuff we because I don't think
anybody was prepared for a non

679
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,840
grind game.
We've talked about things we got

680
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,000
to do better moving forward.
The two things that I want to

681
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,600
see better moving forward but
did go bad on Saturday.

682
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,240
The first one was the defense on
money downs when we were you

683
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,120
back tally.
I'm back all.

684
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Right, you're froze for a moment
there.

685
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,080
The.
Defense on money downs were

686
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,480
eight for 16.
Now I know it was a handful of

687
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,920
them that were later in the game
when they were going for it, but

688
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,680
it's one of those things I don't
want that mentality right Y'all

689
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,960
both played.
I don't want that mentality of

690
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,040
letting people get in, getting
third down and making it a first

691
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,640
down and getting the 4th and
making it a first.

692
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,680
So that was my that was one of
my couple quarrels here on it.

693
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,920
The second one was procedural
penalties.

694
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Now I hate false starts
offensively.

695
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,400
I hate false starts.
It drives me off.

696
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,440
It literally drives me out of my
mind.

697
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,040
It's like literally there is a
cadence.

698
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,480
You know the cadence, you have
practiced the cadence all week.

699
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,560
Why are you moving?
Don't be stupid.

700
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,600
Defensively, I have never had a
problem with it.

701
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,480
Depending on the situation, it's
third and 12:00.

702
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,200
You want to try to get off the
snap, that's fine.

703
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,400
Or third and seven shorter don't
matter.

704
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,280
You've got those lineman
thinking he is trying to time

705
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,880
this up and if he times us up,
we still got to get six or seven

706
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,640
yards.
We ain't going to get six or

707
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,040
seven yards.
Therefore, they're apprehensive

708
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,000
and they might jump back at you.
I don't know y'all see them, but

709
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,520
I need to see those two things
on defense and one on offense.

710
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,080
Cleaned up the other piece of
defense.

711
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,520
Do that at the right situation.
Go ahead and knock somebody down

712
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,280
to say, oh, I'm coming and I'm
going to get the snap count

713
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,760
right to second time.
Yeah, I mean to to me the money

714
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:55,400
downs is, is frustrating.
You know, we, we talk about all

715
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,360
the time getting off the field
is the most important thing for

716
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,880
a defense.
Get off the field, get the ball

717
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:06,000
back to your offense.
Complimentary football and it it

718
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,040
wasn't AI.
Don't think there was a ton here

719
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,440
where you know, it was, it was a
bad, you know, bad from a

720
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,600
technique standpoint or anything
like that.

721
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,800
You know, we had a couple where
we were there.

722
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520
God just made a play right
quarterback scrambling real good

723
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,320
on on 1/3 long where we were
right there for the sack.

724
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,840
Next thing you know, that turns
into a first down moving the

725
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,000
chains.
It's frustrating, but it

726
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,560
happens, right?
You know, so I think the one

727
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,720
it's the it's the ones that you
can't avoid where where you're

728
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,080
already in place there and you
you miss a play that that's the

729
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,360
ones that they get frustrating
for you.

730
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,080
To Curtis's point, I mean,
procedural penalties are are

731
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,160
going to be frustrating,
especially on the offensive side

732
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
of the ball or in those
situational things for defenses

733
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,040
where you either put them in a
situation where they can now,

734
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,720
you know, make a call, whether
they want to go for it or, you

735
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:02,720
know, continue with, you know,
potential punt situation puts

736
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,960
them in a situation where they
have a little more options with

737
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,440
their their play call or in a
lot of cases, give them a first

738
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,440
down.
Like, you know, you got to be

739
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,200
aware on that from a defensive
standpoint, offensively, it's

740
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,760
it's frustrating.
You got to have mental

741
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,320
toughness.
You got to go out there and

742
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,120
understand the situation,
understand what you're dealing

743
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:30,600
with and stay focused on the
task at hand even when things

744
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,400
get a little bit crazy.
Outside of that, whether you

745
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,240
know, we did, we weren't dealing
with crowd noise.

746
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,920
So that wasn't a factor.
Only only factor was that guy

747
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,040
across from you and you worried
about him beating you.

748
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,720
So keep on your mentals.
Don't jump offsides.

749
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,440
Ally you with us.
Oh yeah, I'm here.

750
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,160
Anything additional bad,
anything you feel like we got to

751
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,920
clean up because when you win 31
to 7 it's it's tough to find

752
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,680
bad.
Yeah, I mean, the only thing I

753
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,960
guess don't again, this is
nitpicking, you know, nothing

754
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:09,680
super big, but on the 4th down,
just get off the field like

755
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,760
don't do not let them convert
1/4 down on us because if they

756
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,880
don't convert that 4th down,
which I know they have players

757
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,960
that are there to make plays as
well, but.

758
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,880
On 4th downs, let's get them off
the field.

759
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,720
If they don't convert that 4th
down, we probably, they probably

760
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:26,240
don't score.
We probably get a shit out.

761
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:29,960
So just that and and kind of
what you said Curtis too, if we

762
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,600
don't jump off sides and I think
we did it a couple times, I

763
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,560
think we got away with jumping
off sides one time.

764
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,320
One time we.
Did it?

765
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,440
Yeah.
You know, jumping off sides, if

766
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,480
you don't jump outside, just go,
you know, go and and push

767
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,840
somebody down.
Don't just let them say, Oh my

768
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,480
gosh, she jumped off sides.
It's a free play, you know what

769
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,360
I'm saying?
Like go hit somebody, chase the

770
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,520
quarterback, make him throw it
out of bounds, make him slide

771
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,000
down, do something, you know,
get them uncomfortable if you're

772
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,480
going to already be penalized.
So I guess that's the that's the

773
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,480
only thing which we did that a
couple times too.

774
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,080
I think you know whoever jumped
outside, maybe Peebles, you know

775
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,080
he.
Oh, he got right in it.

776
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,720
He he got right in the
quarterback's face.

777
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,160
Yeah, he was.
He was in there.

778
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,280
So yeah, do that.
I'm OK with that.

779
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,160
Talk this shit, talk this shit.
So again, as we wrap up, Tell

780
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,200
the truth Tuesday of a 31 to
seven win Hokies go to three and

781
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:23,640
three on the season in in a bye
week this week, y'all, we ain't

782
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,240
got no game to talk about.
So you know, as we move into the

783
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,680
second-half, as everybody knows,
we are brought to you by the

784
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,640
Counts Family Pharmacy at three
O 1 S Main St. in Blacksburg,

785
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,560
your friendly neighborhood
pharmacy.

786
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,200
And tonight we do have a very
special guest.

787
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,600
And is he there?
I don't see his face.

788
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:52,400
I'm going to hold off a second.
Someone who is frequently in our

789
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:58,000
comments section during all of
our live streams here.

790
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,160
And he's also been a guest on
the pot.

791
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,000
He was back.
He came to a doozy of a warning.

792
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,320
He decided to make his debut on
the state of the program last

793
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:12,280
December.
So I'm going to try to hold off

794
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,640
on it because I won't see his
face before we pull him in here.

795
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,280
I just shot him a text message.
All right, which we told him 40.

796
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,160
I was at 42 when we started it.
Yeah.

797
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:33,400
So, Chris, if you don't mind,
let you turn your camera on up.

798
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,320
He's trying to get the camera on
live streams here, baby.

799
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,360
That's.
It's it's, it's flickering.

800
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:48,280
We will see what it would it do.
We know it works because he's

801
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:54,160
been here on before.
Oh yeah, the beauty of Live

802
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,720
podcast.
And ladies and gentlemen, the

803
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,800
beauty.
Of live podcast and Tally says

804
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,240
it's cold in Alabama.
He's already got a stocking cap

805
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:03,520
on.
Too cold for him down.

806
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,680
He's got a, he's got a prep,
he's got to got to get his ears

807
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,240
used to it.
Getting ready man, and fall

808
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,880
nights, you better be ready to
roll.

809
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,480
Oh yeah, we had baseball tonight
and it felt that it today was

810
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,960
that first crisp one in
Virginia.

811
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,160
There, there was a nip, there
was a nip in the air, had the

812
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,880
windows down during the day, had
the windows open at night in the

813
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:28,280
house with a little little fresh
cool air in hey, they don't get

814
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,480
much better than that.
Yeah, my son had a game last

815
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,680
night and it was, it was cold.
I think I said it was cold, but

816
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,920
it was cool like it was.
People had people had blankets

817
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,320
out, you know, I had a short
song and I was like, yeah, I

818
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,680
probably should have wore
sweatpants.

819
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600
So if I'm thinking that like it
was, it was cool.

820
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,600
So.
Absolutely up.

821
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,440
He hopped off.
He will be back, but.

822
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:56,120
We got a good comment here.
Oh, we go.

823
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:00,280
That's.
Going to be that's going to be

824
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,680
cold.
Oh man.

825
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,640
While we can't be playing one of
the further southern teams and

826
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,920
not the northernmost team next
week, we.

827
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,960
We got, we got, we got Steven
out there in in Cali.

828
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,200
Oh, hold.
On Oh my God.

829
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,560
Jason owns on me.
Oh, my God, I don't want to

830
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,920
think about the.
I'll tell you what, I'll feel a

831
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,200
lot better than taking him than
I did when they took Malik

832
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,320
Willis, because I was not happy
about that at all.

833
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,160
I was like, man, no, this ain't
gonna work.

834
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,160
But then he comes back and beats
us.

835
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,600
You know, he goes to.
What was he with the Steelers or

836
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,480
whoever he's with?
Nah, Green Bay.

837
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,200
Green Bay.
Excuse me, Went to Green Bay and

838
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,480
comes in and beats us.
I'm.

839
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,080
Like, hey, he was at Green Bay
and beat the Colts too, so.

840
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Yeah, I'm like, well, maybe it's
us, maybe it ain't them.

841
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,680
They've been getting a nurse,
man.

842
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,360
Lavar.
There he is.

843
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,240
I already shouted out Lavar one
time tonight.

844
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:03,160
I didn't see it.
It might have been when my

845
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,480
thing.
Was not that I'm saying for

846
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,920
earlier when I was talking about
him hitting us up during the

847
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,880
when the vanity game was in the
first quarter?

848
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Remember, I got Mike issues
occasionally, so we'll see how

849
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:19,920
we got some more people come in.
That's accurate.

850
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,080
That's accurate.
Yeah.

851
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,960
Chris said he's restarting his
phone.

852
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,560
Give him 2 minutes.
Yeah, give me a couple minutes

853
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:26,960
here.
We we got a lot of folks in

854
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:27,720
here.
And what about?

855
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:29,280
Vamping, vamping.
Let's do it.

856
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,960
By the way, let's hit this one
up.

857
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,720
Where is the higher asking
where's Shelton tonight?

858
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,040
Shelton had to do a little
travel for a little job

859
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,640
interview today and he basically
said I'm going to get back late.

860
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,200
I'm going to be talking all day.
I got a layout tonight which

861
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,760
stinks because he he wanted to
go off on special teams because

862
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,400
apparently, per his notes, we
are a top tier special teams.

863
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,720
We just have a bunch of snafus.
All right, and and here's what I

864
00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:59,040
would say to him if he were on
here.

865
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,760
What he's telling me is that we
got a Parker Clement situation

866
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,360
with our defense is that with
our special teams.

867
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,680
I mean, it's not that it's not
always that it's bad, but when

868
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,000
it's bad, it's bad if it stands
out.

869
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,240
And you know, you know, we, we
got some big snafus here and

870
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,240
there, but we also, you know,
this this past week played a

871
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:25,280
pretty clean game on special
teams.

872
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,800
Didn't have any multiple numbers
out there that that helps when

873
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,480
you change the number of your
your field goal kicker.

874
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:37,680
We just leave John Love at. 25
Man let John love what he

875
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,680
wanted.
Well, like love is my that's my

876
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,200
God, man.
What is he?

877
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,280
Is he a junior?
Oh, I think we got him for

878
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,520
another year, maybe 2.
I don't know.

879
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,520
I.
Think we got always there?

880
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,080
No, no, the Sean print.
This is perfect right here about

881
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,720
Parker comments in the special
teams unit.

882
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,640
That's a good one.
Sean.

883
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,760
Got to write that one down.
Hey, man.

884
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,800
I like that.
I like that.

885
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,320
I do like this respect there.
Yeah, you see what you see what

886
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,760
you'll see it though.
That's true.

887
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,320
Get it in there.
And yes, I mean, we, we had

888
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,800
talked about that too because I
was like, we got to get the

889
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,600
special teams unit straight.
He's like, yeah, it's somebody

890
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,840
different every week, though.
Yeah, like when I reprimand that

891
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,320
person, he does fine, then it's
somebody else, so.

892
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,960
Sometimes it's a player making a
mistake.

893
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,440
Sometimes you're out there, you
got a you got a coach making a

894
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,000
questionable decision.
Sometimes a coach make makes a

895
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,200
questionable decision because
your head coach didn't take a

896
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,760
time out at one point.
So it's.

897
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,200
Like.
Sometimes it compounds on

898
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,760
itself.
So it, it's, it's a lot of

899
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,480
things that I think, you know,
the, the coaches seem to have

900
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,200
cleaned up from a game flows
perspective this week that we,

901
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,640
that we, you know, we, we saw
some problems against Miami.

902
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,440
We saw some, you know,
additional problems earlier in

903
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,240
the year with some of the bigger
snafus.

904
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:02,560
And, you know, I, I like seeing
a pretty clean game and you

905
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,120
know, it's, I know it doesn't
stand out as much when it's not

906
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,880
close.
You know, those, those little

907
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,760
small things get compounded when
you're, when you're the one

908
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,480
score game or when you down one
score and all that stuff.

909
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,720
So I'm just glad that we're not
having to talk a whole lot about

910
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:18,960
it.
But our band is ready.

911
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,120
Chris Lester's here, so we're
going to bring him on here.

912
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,080
Pull on Chris and real quick
tally Chris.

913
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,360
The phone got to working.
Yeah, I turned around.

914
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,840
I just did an update.
I went to, I was 18, so I

915
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,600
thought everything was fine.
I had to cut the phone back off

916
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,200
and do all that crazy stuff and
I've been sitting here listening

917
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,400
to y'all the whole time so.
Blue Apple.

918
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,800
By the way, do not know Chris
Lester is the father of Brody

919
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,320
Adams, true freshman down at
Virginia Tech and friend of the

920
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,320
pod.
Long time friend of the pod.

921
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,600
He, like I, we told him a little
bit earlier, Chris, first time

922
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,800
you ever joined us.
You came to state of the program

923
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,400
last December.
That was your introduction here.

924
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,240
Yeah, that was a fun night.
Yeah, that was a good one that

925
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:09,680
that's still got that tequila
bottle sitting on my on my bar

926
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,280
stand messing with y'all that
night.

927
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,600
So my wife looking at me like I
was crazy.

928
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,240
I said I was hanging out with my
buddies.

929
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:16,840
We was talking football.
Yeah.

930
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,200
And this is, this is the thing
about Chris too.

931
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,240
Most of the people, viewers who
don't know Chris and haven't

932
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,280
interacted with Chris, he's not
just a, a parent cause some

933
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,200
parents are so stupid.
You know what I'm saying?

934
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,680
Like I'm a parent and I'm bum.
You know what I'm saying?

935
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,320
When I'm talking about my kid,
I'm looking at a, you know,

936
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,040
parents are stupid.
Like he's a student of the game.

937
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,520
He studied the game.
He's gone through the classes

938
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,680
with his son while he's, you
know, getting ready to go to

939
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,760
college, to weight, picking up
the weight, going and watching

940
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,520
film.
He does a lot of that stuff.

941
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,920
So it's not just him being a
dad, you know, it's him being a

942
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,600
student of the game as well
because his son hadn't been on

943
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,600
the field this year yet.
But he studies every single

944
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,400
game.
He's studying, you know,

945
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,800
formations, different positions.
So he is a really good person to

946
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,960
talk to, especially with the
wide receiver position.

947
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,040
And guess what, His wife is
better than him.

948
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,600
Like I'll be on the phone with
him.

949
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,000
She she, yeah, she, she's
getting better.

950
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,200
She's not better than me, but
she she's a lot better when she,

951
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,640
when we first started doing this
thing, but she's a lot better.

952
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,200
And just for y'all, if y'all
ever see my wife, do not ever

953
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,080
call him Brody.
If you ever call him Brody to

954
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,600
her, she will choke you on
Spotica.

955
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,280
That's her baby.
Her baby's name is Keelan.

956
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,640
Now, the Brody thing, yeah, you
call him Keelan.

957
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,520
And honestly, everybody else
calls him Brody.

958
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,320
She calls him Keelan and the
staff calls him Keelan.

959
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,880
And you know, Brody's his
nickname.

960
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,720
But even when he made the hokey,
a hokey stone of the week thing,

961
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,320
she's like, his name ain't
Brody.

962
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,560
His name is Keelan.
It's always like that.

963
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,120
So it is how it is, man.
It is how it is.

964
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,400
But man, yeah, I've been, I'm a
fan of all the y'all, man.

965
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,920
You know, you guys in
particular, you know, I listen

966
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,600
to tales of the Terror Dome, you
know, I listen BT4I listen to

967
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,400
all of y'all.
And I did that.

968
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,360
Like y'all said, when I started,
we were right in the process

969
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,000
because I wanted to see where
everybody what, you know, how

970
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,960
they were going to handle
everything.

971
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,880
And y'all were just consistent,
you know, and I love the way

972
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,040
y'all talk ball.
And then I was able to sneak in

973
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,920
and hang out when nobody knew
who I was and because I'm still

974
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,920
just a guy, just like y'all.
But it was, it was cool.

975
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,280
It was real cool.
Yeah, man, we, we loved having

976
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,120
you on that first time.
I mean, it was cool getting to

977
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:47,440
see you in Nashville and I, I, I
said it last time.

978
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,960
I, I, I don't think everybody
knows you a tall dude, You a big

979
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,280
dude.
I, I won't.

980
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,480
I was like, oh, all right,
Chris, what's up?

981
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:55,600
How you doing?
Well.

982
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,440
I mean, Keela's nickname for me
is Big Fella.

983
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,280
It's always been Big Fella.
And you know, I, I didn't, I

984
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,960
wasn't gifted as most of my
children, like keep, you know,

985
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,800
Keela's amazing athlete.
My 25 year old daughter Jana,

986
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,200
she played volleyball.
My youngest daughter played

987
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,080
softball.
I just was, I was a Rudy, to be

988
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,640
honest with you.
I was blessed with height and

989
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,760
size, but I was more like a Rudy
girl.

990
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,200
I had to go work for mine.
So I had to go work really,

991
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,960
really hard.
And that's what made me a

992
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,880
student of everything that I
played.

993
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,960
If it was softball, I learned
it.

994
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,000
Basketball, I learned that
football, I had to learn it.

995
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,520
But yeah, man, I'm pretty big
guy.

996
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,120
I'm pretty big guy.
Yeah, I was.

997
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,160
Going to say Yost.
That might be a no, but it's.

998
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,080
Close though.
It was I was I was not really

999
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,600
paying attention to the height
when I met Yost as more I was of

1000
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,320
the hands.
Like Derpal?

1001
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,240
Yeah, you get.
Me like.

1002
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:58,720
Yost looks like AWWE wrestler
his body, don't it it it don't

1003
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:01,560
look real like his head on on
his body don't look real.

1004
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:07,000
I'm like and and Yost ain't fat
like some men like have bad

1005
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,560
bars.
Like Yost is just big and white.

1006
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,080
Like he look like he can put on
some pads right now and just go

1007
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,280
block.
So.

1008
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,880
Yost is a big dude.
Man, he's got that big show,

1009
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,720
Bill.
Yeah, he dude Diesel.

1010
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,320
That's what Yost look like.
Well, Chris, we appreciate you

1011
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,160
joining us.
It is the bye week.

1012
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,080
The the first thing I think I
got to ask, and I'll say this

1013
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,200
because if your wife's
listening, I ain't taking a beat

1014
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,520
down from her.
Are you going to get to see

1015
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,440
Keelan this week?
I don't know if they're allowed

1016
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,320
to come home or or or are y'all
going down there where you know,

1017
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,880
it's an off week and a little
bit more relaxed for him or?

1018
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,840
For us, this is listen.
For us, it's business because

1019
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,320
they're they're, you know,
they're preparing.

1020
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,120
You know, everybody was like,
oh, is he going to come home?

1021
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,160
We're we're big proponents of
him not coming home.

1022
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,560
And I'm going to tell you why
we're that way coming home.

1023
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,360
There's so many other
distractions.

1024
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,480
And when you transcend, you
know, these these guys, they

1025
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,240
have transcended where they're
at.

1026
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,480
Y'all have heard me say this
before.

1027
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,800
You know, everybody get to play
high school ball, seven percent,

1028
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,120
7% get to go play Division One
and then you're trying to go be

1029
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,880
the one of ones.
And in his situation, he's right

1030
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,120
in the middle of the season, You
know, we're we're pushing to go

1031
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,040
to we're marching to Charlotte,
we're trying to get in the CFP.

1032
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:29,480
So, and for him, it's like
learning how to be a great

1033
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,640
student athlete as well as be a
Division One ball player.

1034
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,320
And we've been like, Nah, you
know, we, we, you know, we see

1035
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,280
him enough.
You know, when we go see him on

1036
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,880
the weekends, his Mama brings
him food, she cooks for him.

1037
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,560
He asks herself, she brings it.
I mean, I'm like, you know, I

1038
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,120
just be happy to get some
macaroni and cheese or some 80

1039
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,400
wings or something.
So we're not going to go see

1040
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,120
him, man.
We'll, we'll, we'll see him next

1041
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,560
week.
We'll go down early Wednesday

1042
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,840
night, Wednesday, Thursday to
see him and go to the most

1043
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,480
anticipated game I've wanted to
go to since I started this whole

1044
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:08,320
entire thing.
Thursday night in lane circle it

1045
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:13,160
is it it it hits different and
The funny thing is I missed my

1046
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,160
chance to go on with Thursday
Brian, did you make it to one

1047
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,320
Thursday and I.
I made it to one Thursday.

1048
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,760
And I know Tally's first game
ever in Lane Stadium was a

1049
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Thursday night against Miami,
so.

1050
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,080
Yeah, it was crazy.
It is.

1051
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:31,080
Like no other man.
So let me ask this, and I know

1052
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:36,040
we got a bunch of questions, but
you know, Keelan enrolled early.

1053
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,160
Yes.
And and we talked about that and

1054
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,400
it was a lot of and it was a lot
of you I can remember in

1055
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,760
December and yes, I know I was
drunk and I was having a good

1056
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,040
time.
But we talked about, but you

1057
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,040
were like, it is a lot of
preparation to get ready to do.

1058
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,920
This is a big step, you know,
because we always kind of say

1059
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,160
it.
He should be, he should have

1060
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,120
been like having fun getting
ready for prom.

1061
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,080
He's about to take this
monumental step.

1062
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:02,960
How did that go like drop off
and everything?

1063
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,840
We know how much you trust this
staff.

1064
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,240
But when you were if I'll say
this as you and I don't know

1065
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,600
exactly where he's staying, but
as you started pulling out of

1066
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,080
Blacksburg, going 460 back to
the beach, it was just like, was

1067
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,720
it that moment in your head,
man?

1068
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:25,360
He is becoming a man.
For for us it it was I had to

1069
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,920
build up to that.
Like he laughs that he picks at

1070
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,760
me.
So he's like he said, I know

1071
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,000
you're going to cry when you get
in the car.

1072
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,040
I said, yeah, I'm a cry when I
get in the car.

1073
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,680
Because you got to realize for
me and Keelan, this process, my

1074
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,360
wife was in nursing school from
his junior to his junior,

1075
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,040
sophomore, junior year.
So we did a lot of this

1076
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,960
together, me and him, our
relationship, our bond grew.

1077
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,320
And so we were like together all
the time.

1078
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,160
So, you know, I was like lost
because I was like, I, what am I

1079
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:56,520
going to do now?
Because I ain't got nobody to

1080
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,120
drop off in practice.
I ain't got nowhere to be.

1081
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,320
I'm like, you know, I got to
work, I got to come home and I

1082
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,400
got used to being back at home.
But the thing that I wanted most

1083
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:11,680
for him is you had to go to work
and you had to grow up right

1084
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,320
here and learn everything.
There's no longer I'm the, you

1085
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,600
know, I'm the big, the big guy
on campus.

1086
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,000
I'm the coolest dude in the
room.

1087
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,600
You're going against, you're
going to go be one of one.

1088
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:27,600
So it was tough for him, you
know, and nobody will know.

1089
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:32,240
Yo, he lost his grandmother
doing spring ball and that was

1090
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,600
huge for him.
So imagine you go away from you,

1091
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,560
you, you go, you get out of
school on on the you go to

1092
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,440
school, you go through
Christmas, you get out of school

1093
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:46,000
on Friday, right?
You pack up your whole life,

1094
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,120
which it took us forever as you
see his room here that I've made

1095
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:54,040
it to my makeshift studio.
We packed them up, we took him.

1096
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,840
We drive them up.
You drive them on a Friday and

1097
00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,040
come to Monday, Tuesday morning.
You run around with dudes is

1098
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,320
2018, 1921 years old and you got
to compete.

1099
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:10,440
So that was huge for him.
And so I had great trust in the,

1100
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,440
in the, in the process.
I love the staff, but I knew he

1101
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,520
was going to go through his
bumps and his bruises with it.

1102
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:23,320
And, and he did, you know, he
did, he, he was like, I'll tell

1103
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,720
you say I don't, I don't like
this Hunger Games stuff.

1104
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,120
You know, I, I play football.
I said football is about

1105
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,600
competing.
And so the beautiful part about

1106
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,560
the process for us was every day
he would go through and then we

1107
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,120
would talk every day.
We talked every day like he

1108
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,480
would get done with practice.
And now I talked to him before

1109
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,840
he ate.
So I asked my classes ago my ass

1110
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,720
and how he ate and I watched him
start to get it.

1111
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,120
And then he had to have a couple
of wins.

1112
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,920
And so he had a couple of wins
at certain times.

1113
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,440
And as he got more wins, he
started understanding, becoming

1114
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,240
more confident.
And so by the by the time he

1115
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:04,000
went from spring to summer and
he got into his groove and then

1116
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,960
he just went and had a great
fall camp, that's what he did.

1117
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:09,680
That's awesome.
I love hearing that.

1118
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,000
I love hearing like, you know,
when you first get in there, I

1119
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,480
remember as a freshman, like,
yeah, you know, you're a guy,

1120
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,040
you're like, you know, you're a
team captain.

1121
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,200
You're doing all this in high
school.

1122
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,960
And then you get, you get even
like, yeah, I played D3.

1123
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,960
But like getting there, I was
like, all right, this is a, this

1124
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,360
is a different brand of
football.

1125
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,920
All these guys did the stuff I
did in high school.

1126
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,080
So.
Right, right.

1127
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,640
That adjustment is definitely
really important.

1128
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,160
Sometimes it it it takes a
little longer than you want to

1129
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:36,720
if if you don't get the start
you want to.

1130
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:41,000
But let me ask you this, you
know, you talked about talking

1131
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:42,960
to him every day.
Was there somebody whether you

1132
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,520
know, staff, whether player,
whether anybody else at Virginia

1133
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,760
Tech that that he leaned on
there in Blacksburg during kind

1134
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,040
of that transition period?
Like, the thing about it is that

1135
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,520
the the 10 guys that went in
with him.

1136
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:01,040
So you got Josh Clark, Gray
Johnson, you know the chance

1137
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,840
Wiggins, you know.
You had all those guys, they all

1138
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,600
went in together and then, you
know, Tyler Mason, although they

1139
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,440
were together so they bonded
with each other.

1140
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:15,120
But Keelan is a really, really
quiet dude and you know, was

1141
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,400
like the staff, like Carrie Lynn
helped him, you know, these

1142
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,080
helped him.
And they all just, you know,

1143
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,240
they walked him through and he
was going to and he's not a

1144
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,440
very, he's not a very vocal
person.

1145
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,600
Like he's not a rah rah guy.
So I'll tell you real quick.

1146
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:35,120
So one time Coach Mines called
me and he was like, yo man, I

1147
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,240
don't know if he's getting it.
I said, listen, he's not going

1148
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,520
to be a real responsive, OK, I
got it.

1149
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,480
You'll tell him, he'll nod yes
and then he'll go do it.

1150
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,280
He said.
And he's getting it.

1151
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,360
He's just, he's not going to be
that kid.

1152
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,400
So that was one of the things.
So they, they walked him through

1153
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,200
it.
You know, Cam Cam Phillips

1154
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,440
helped him a lot.
So the spring, they're doing the

1155
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:04,200
spring and he's going through
practice and he had one

1156
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,560
Thursday, he Friday, he called
me, he was irritated, like I

1157
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:09,880
can't believe this.
I said, what's wrong?

1158
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,680
I said, man, I had 12 missed
assignments, man, I had 12.

1159
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,280
I said, well, what happened?
So I couldn't remember the

1160
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,000
difference between slider and
slide.

1161
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,000
And so I had to figure out.
And so we had to learn a new

1162
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,480
signal.
So in high school it was just

1163
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,560
hey, do this.
He knew it, he'd go to it.

1164
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,600
Now he had to read the slide
certain things.

1165
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:35,400
So we had 12 missed assignments.
So I said, well, and so me

1166
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,280
wanting to fix everything I'm
like, well, who you think can

1167
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,800
help you?
He was like, I don't know.

1168
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,200
I said, well, can't you talk to
minds?

1169
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,320
He said minds minds is doing
this all the other because now

1170
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:46,720
minds is an assistant head
coach.

1171
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,680
So he turns around and says,
hey, I say coach Phillips is

1172
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,680
there talk to Cam.
So I reach out to coach minds.

1173
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,400
Minds gives me Cams number.
I say, hey Cam, what's going on?

1174
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,160
We you know, and we start
talking back and forth.

1175
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,840
I said reach out to coach,
coach, coach Phillips.

1176
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,800
So he coach wrote calls to Cam.
So he comes back like that

1177
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,280
Saturday.
I got a champ because it's never

1178
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:09,920
like Dad.
It's like there's always big

1179
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,360
fella champ, he said.
I got a champ, I got all the

1180
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,840
signals down.
I went from there.

1181
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,520
He went from that point, man, I
think he had three missed

1182
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,920
assignments from that point on.
It's just like he wants to be

1183
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,080
the thing about it.
He understands assignment man.

1184
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,440
He wants to be great.
He wants to be really good and

1185
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,720
he's willing to work hard at it.
And when he he can't get

1186
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,480
something, he gets frustrated.
And so usually I'm there to try

1187
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,160
to help him.
I said, but you got to go reach

1188
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,120
out and talk to other people to
learn and that Cam really helped

1189
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,000
him out a lot.
So I attribute a lot to his

1190
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,800
success to that And and just the
whole staff man, you know, cheat

1191
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,640
cheaters on him.
Coach prelude on them.

1192
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,280
They, you know, they want him to
be successful, man, and they

1193
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,160
going to push him to be great.
And that was the biggest thing

1194
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,920
for you know, my favorite got
one of my favorite coaches there

1195
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,520
and he's really behind the
scenes and a lot, a lot of

1196
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:58,920
people don't talk to him is
coach Brooks.

1197
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:03,200
Coach Brooks will coach Brooks
is the funniest guy and he's

1198
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,120
going to push your right in a
certain kind of way.

1199
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,840
So it it's it's the whole staff
helps man.

1200
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,840
There's not a kid on that, on
that team that doesn't have

1201
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,240
someone to look to, to help them
progress and get where they're

1202
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,960
trying to get to.
Definitely.

1203
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,880
Well, the question I ask kind of
or not really a question just

1204
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,720
telling you to kind of take us
through you being a, you know, a

1205
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,840
fan of the team and A and a
parent of a player.

1206
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,000
How does your game day look
like?

1207
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:31,840
Because I know you went to a
couple of games.

1208
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,320
Have you seen some losses?
You seen some wins?

1209
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,000
Kind of how does that go?
You know, getting up, going,

1210
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,760
staying overnight, How what, how
busy are you?

1211
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,400
How much of your, your, your
player do you get to see?

1212
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:48,800
How does that go?
Well, because, and I think I've

1213
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,440
learned this and I think I'm
going to pass this on to anybody

1214
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,320
else that's coming along.
I'm definitely telling to my,

1215
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,680
you know, my young green run
guys, their parents.

1216
01:03:56,680 --> 01:04:00,480
I try to tell them and it's hard
because you know, you come off

1217
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,880
like you're a know it all, but
I'm like, no, I'm just telling

1218
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,440
you what I've experienced.
So my biggest thing, I was like,

1219
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,640
oh, well, we can just come up
that day.

1220
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,920
It ain't no big deal.
You know, it ain't that hard.

1221
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,680
We can do it man, Jesus age
Christ.

1222
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,880
I will.
Not ever.

1223
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,600
I'm telling you, come next year,
I will be in town every week the

1224
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,840
night before because it is such
a busy day.

1225
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:31,320
Because for us coming in and we
live 4 1/2 hours away and my

1226
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,520
wife will not ever miss a hokey
walk.

1227
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,480
She will not miss seeing her
baby, touching her baby, then

1228
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:39,920
her hug her baby.
That's that.

1229
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,880
The end of the day, that's that.
So so our day usually starts.

1230
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,280
Nashville was cool, but then
again we had Lake Nashville

1231
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,560
because I didn't get to hang out
with y'all all day like I wanted

1232
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,120
to.
And my wife is hard on me

1233
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,520
because she acts like she this
is her speech before we leave.

1234
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,680
Don't get up here, act like you
ain't got a whole relationship,

1235
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,080
a wife and a family.
Don't get up here with your

1236
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,800
little hokey buddies and act
like you all know who I am and

1237
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,240
I'm like I understand.
So I'll get up there.

1238
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,800
Me and James Clark are real
close.

1239
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,000
Josh Clark's dad, Jerrod Johnson
hit.

1240
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,520
We're cool.
I know the fish and I know

1241
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,320
everybody.
I, you know, like Chantelle

1242
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,560
Lovett knows everybody.
I'm right beneath her because I

1243
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,120
try to meet.
Everybody I.

1244
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,640
Mean, I try to meet everybody.
Yeah, I met the people's I've

1245
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,800
met.
Oh my God, Caleb Woodson's mom.

1246
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,480
I met everybody because I'm a
fan of everybody.

1247
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,320
Shoot, I even met John Love's
family.

1248
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,400
I was even, I was hyped to meet
them.

1249
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,760
You.
Know yeah, keep them happy.

1250
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,320
Yeah, he got.
He got a little brother we need

1251
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:41,520
to.
OK.

1252
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,080
But yeah, I'm gonna start, hit
them up.

1253
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,720
But so you start my day will
start like for game day.

1254
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,200
If we're coming up on Saturday,
I'm out the door about 4:30.

1255
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,280
I'm on the road, cars already
gas.

1256
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,840
If I come up, then we'll get
here like 93010 o'clock.

1257
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,400
So depending on what time it is,
we'll go, you know, go to our

1258
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,120
tailgating spot.
We won't even go to the to our

1259
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,680
room because we're already
coming in off the road already,

1260
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,960
you know, doing that thing.
We'll probably in Starbucks,

1261
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,960
brush our teeth, do our thing
and we at the game, then we

1262
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,440
going tailgate.
Then we come down, we go do the

1263
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,560
hokey walk.
And then after you do your hokey

1264
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,800
walk, man, you, you Dang into
the game.

1265
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,800
And above all, with this team,
I'm I'm an avid football fan.

1266
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:27,480
So my wife always says be quiet.
But it's hard for me because I

1267
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,000
love the game so much and I'm
watching certain things.

1268
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,000
And so when things don't go our
way, I'm just as crazy as the

1269
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,120
next guy.
I just try to keep it.

1270
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,160
I try to keep it contained
because I can't be too crazy

1271
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,440
because my kids on the sideline
and I've had to fight with that

1272
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,000
since he's been playing ball.
Yeah, definitely.

1273
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,960
You know, I'm, I'm, I'm like,
you know, a perfect example.

1274
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,880
When we played Rutgers, I was
like, I was yelling at the refs

1275
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,120
and everything.
My wife was like, you can't do

1276
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,040
that, I said, but you can see
it.

1277
01:06:55,080 --> 01:07:00,840
Yeah, but you can't do that, you
know, when you know she said.

1278
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,480
Yes, You.
Can you're in the stands, you're

1279
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:03,960
a fan, you can do whatever you
want.

1280
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,560
No, I really can't because at
the end of the day, the people

1281
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,240
is like, yo, who's whose parent
is that?

1282
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,480
And then I got to deal with
that.

1283
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,960
That's about rest of my hokey
parents said had I been to

1284
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,080
Miami, I probably went to jail,
which I probably would have.

1285
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,240
I probably would have went.
But yeah, that's that's the day.

1286
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,960
And then once you finish with
that, the game is over.

1287
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:32,040
So then you want to see him.
And then we're like, so when we

1288
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,800
saw when they played Marshall,
we turned around, we let him go

1289
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,600
home, get dressed.
We went to PK's, got something

1290
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,040
to eat, saw him just we just
want to see our kid, you know,

1291
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,720
because he's not, you know, to
everyone and to he's a football

1292
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,120
player, he's an athlete, he's
gifted.

1293
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,080
But he's still the kid that
didn't clean up his room and I

1294
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,480
had to tell him to take out the
garbage.

1295
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,320
You know, that that's that's who
he is still.

1296
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:54,720
Come here for a second.
Yeah.

1297
01:07:55,280 --> 01:08:00,200
And and we go from there.
So when we did that, then we'll

1298
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,360
come home, we'll hang out and
like when you're recruiting, the

1299
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,520
coaches are all there.
So I know all the coaches.

1300
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,400
But then during the during the
season, though, you'll see him

1301
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,360
and then we'll go home, fall
asleep, get up in the morning,

1302
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,480
go see him before you got to go
to work, because I see you go to

1303
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:15,880
work, you know.
Hey, what time you got to go to

1304
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,359
work?
Oh, I got to be, I got to be at

1305
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:18,920
the facility at 11:30, twelve O
clock.

1306
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,760
All right, cool.
We'll come by and see you.

1307
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,000
Come by and see him in the room.
Make sure he has what he needs.

1308
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,840
Ask him.
He didn't do anything.

1309
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,560
You know, I'll buy him food, you
know, even though he, you know,

1310
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,120
he got to cover dollars.
You can buy food.

1311
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,560
I said, you know when I used to
tell, whenever you get some

1312
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,160
money, you know, think about you
think about the big fella.

1313
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,840
He laughs and and then, man, I
hug.

1314
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,800
We hug our kid.
And then I man, we get back on

1315
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,439
the road, man.
And we, you know.

1316
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,760
Try to give you next week.
And we plan, Yeah, do it next

1317
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:45,680
week.
Yep.

1318
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,920
I think for him, I think the
biggest thing for him this year,

1319
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,040
this is the most he's ever sat
on the bench in his life.

1320
01:08:52,279 --> 01:08:54,680
So this has been the most
challenging thing for him.

1321
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:55,920
That's been hard.
For him.

1322
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,800
So we'll I'll go into something
a little bit about that here

1323
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,640
next, just because you brought
that up because we have so many

1324
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,840
and we kind of talked about it.
I think we may have talked about

1325
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,080
it in space, We may have talked
about it on here as well.

1326
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,600
We have so many.
Talents, me and you have talked

1327
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,359
about it time to time again, but
go ahead.

1328
01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:16,279
Yeah, yeah.
So we have so many, you know,

1329
01:09:16,279 --> 01:09:19,880
talented young players that are
on the bench right now, you know

1330
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,120
what I'm saying?
And it it is.

1331
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:25,160
So to be a coach, it's so hard
to balance.

1332
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,680
Like when do I put this young
player in over my experienced

1333
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,880
player?
Or we brought this player back,

1334
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,720
you know, and all we talked
about all offseason was we got

1335
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:38,399
20 return starters out of 22.
But then now I have a kid like

1336
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,880
Aiden Green that I can't keep
off the field.

1337
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,359
I have a kid like Caleb Woodson
that I can't keep keep off the

1338
01:09:44,359 --> 01:09:47,960
field.
It's it, I don't even want to

1339
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:49,760
say like, you know, how does
that feel?

1340
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,200
But you just seeing it from
sitting in your position, being

1341
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,480
a fan, but also being a fan,
being a parent of a student

1342
01:09:56,480 --> 01:10:00,800
athlete on the team.
And you see somebody like AAG

1343
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,320
get in the game and you like,
OK, they can't keep him off the

1344
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,320
field.
Like does it ever pop in your

1345
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:09,400
head Like sooner or later that's
going to be my kid, you know

1346
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,320
what I'm saying?
Sooner or later, that or that

1347
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,800
position, that play, if he was
there, that's his play.

1348
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,600
You know what I'm saying?
How did how do you feel like

1349
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,560
when you're watching the game
and you see those little aha

1350
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:31,400
moments, I guess you would say?
I think for me, so so me you've

1351
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,680
talked about this, so let me see
if I can phrase it the best way.

1352
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,120
We're a third year and and if
anybody's listen to me, be on

1353
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,840
y'all be in in the comments or
ever heard me.

1354
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,600
I understand this is a build.
This is not a rebuild.

1355
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,920
That's a build.
So you had to go get certain

1356
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:53,640
pieces and get certain guys and
they came in and they were, they

1357
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,840
had the experience and some of
them have reached their ceiling.

1358
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,840
Some of them have room to grow.
The thing about it was they had

1359
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,840
to be here so that you can bring
in your 23, your 24 and your 25

1360
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,240
class, right?
Because they, they had to see

1361
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,640
that they were growing and
building something.

1362
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,680
You know you because you
couldn't have, you know, when,

1363
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:19,360
when they went, when they won
three games, you know, the kid

1364
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,240
was like, yo, they suck, man.
I don't know if I want to go

1365
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,960
there, man, you know?
And I got.

1366
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,840
Ohio State talking to me, I got
Penn State.

1367
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,080
I don't know if I want to go
there.

1368
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,680
So then it has to go to the
point of doing the homework and

1369
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,920
and seeing it.
But then the next year when they

1370
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,280
go, when we're starting to get,
everybody's in there and

1371
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,760
everybody's making plays.
And so for him to come and see,

1372
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:44,960
OK, I'll just go for his room.
So for you to go into a room and

1373
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:51,080
have over 15 to 16 years of
college experience there for you

1374
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:57,400
to glean from, it's amazing
because my kid can become my kid

1375
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:02,560
can glean from a know it all,
know every position, savvy route

1376
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:07,240
runner guy and a Steven Gosnell.
He can get the physical tenacity

1377
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:12,320
of of a Daquan Felton, He can
get the charismatic shifty

1378
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:18,720
podium podium guru but also a
very skilled close range hands

1379
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,640
receiver and the Ollie Jennings.
He can be and get get the love

1380
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,440
and understand how to be a
professional like a Jay Lane in

1381
01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:29,400
one year.
Where on God's creation can you

1382
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:33,720
go and get that and glean that
much experience in a year and a

1383
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:38,080
nothing, nothing is asked of you
but to learn the playbook, go to

1384
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,320
class and make good grades and
come and practice your practice,

1385
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,560
your ass off.
It's the greatest situation in

1386
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,920
the world for him.
So it started to click for him

1387
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,960
in the spring, in the, in the
fall camp where I was getting,

1388
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,360
you know, certain I was getting
calls from people.

1389
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,040
I was getting people say, hey,
he's starting to get, he's

1390
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,680
starting to get it.
And he, you know, he's

1391
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,400
progressing, He's doing this,
he's doing that.

1392
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:01,720
And then, you know, he would
call me.

1393
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,120
He said, yeah, I haven't made a
mistake in forever.

1394
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,280
You know, I know everything.
So now it's to the point where

1395
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,440
he learns.
And if you know, we all

1396
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:14,280
listening, it's wide receiver.
You're going to be AXX is where

1397
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:19,240
Kwan plays, you'll be AZ where
Ali Jennings plays, you'll be AF

1398
01:13:19,440 --> 01:13:22,200
where Jay Lane plays.
So now he's like, hey, I'm

1399
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,120
proficient in the ZI know
everything from the ZI know the

1400
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,800
F because I have to know as the
Z what the F doesn't do.

1401
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,400
I'm starting to learn the X.
And that's why if you look as a

1402
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,440
fan, if you go back and look at
the snaps, who's the guy that

1403
01:13:36,440 --> 01:13:39,240
never comes off the field?
Y'all tell me?

1404
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,840
Stephen Gosnell.
Never comes off the field.

1405
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,640
Stephen Gosnell, You'll see
Stephen Gosnell go in there and

1406
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,840
pointing somebody, tell them to
go there because he knows

1407
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,920
everything.
So if you want to go into the

1408
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:53,760
next level, you know, and that's
all these guys desire, you have

1409
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,680
to know everything.
And being in a room like that

1410
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,400
with those guys, but then also
having a Cam Phillips all, you

1411
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:04,520
know, one of the all time
leading receivers in the history

1412
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,480
of hokey football there and then
having Fontelle mines there to

1413
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:11,920
help him and he he's he's doing
nothing but soaking it all in.

1414
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:16,360
I know you want to play, but I
think when he does play, you'll

1415
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,600
have that.
And then you just have just a

1416
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,000
just a tenacious, you know, just
just a guy that brews confidence

1417
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,640
in Aiden Green.
You know, it's, it's just a

1418
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,560
great spot for him.
Yeah.

1419
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,640
And with Aiden, it's one of
those things is Aiden was

1420
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:35,160
probably in a similar to Keelan
last year, learning, growing.

1421
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,640
And it's already like, boom,
It's almost like that.

1422
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,280
You look and say, if I do what
he did, I'm going to be on the

1423
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,480
field doing that next year.
I'm going to be catching the

1424
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:48,600
football touch touchdown against
Miami and things like that.

1425
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,080
I want to ask this, I wanted to
catch it before, but Tally got a

1426
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,400
deep question.
And it is PK's your spot down in

1427
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,440
Blacksburger.
Do y'all have some?

1428
01:14:57,480 --> 01:15:00,320
Other food spots, Well, no, see,
here's the problem because we

1429
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,520
come in on game day.
My wife is like, let's explore.

1430
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,240
Let's just go and just explore
Blacksburg and just go enjoy it.

1431
01:15:07,480 --> 01:15:10,840
So that's what that's what we so
P KS is one of the spots we go

1432
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,640
to.
It's a it's a breakfast spot and

1433
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,080
I think it's another egg.
I think it's some egg beat

1434
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,240
Bistro type thing we go to when
we come there.

1435
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,960
But most of the time, man,
honestly, you're so tired from

1436
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,920
that road, man, you just want to
come in, get something to eat,

1437
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,560
go to sleep because you know,
you know, I haven't hit the

1438
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,760
lottery.
You know, I and if I did, y'all

1439
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,000
be rich with me.
So I got to come back and go get

1440
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,120
after it, you know, the
following week.

1441
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,400
Yeah.
So you got to hit what you can

1442
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,200
get.
I get what I take care of your

1443
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,240
business.
Get back to it.

1444
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,160
And get back to it, man.
Get back to it.

1445
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,680
Yeah, that's it.
So we we talked about, you know,

1446
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,960
some of the, you know, what,
what Keela's dealing with.

1447
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,760
I mean, but we also know that
that you've been, you know, a a

1448
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,760
feature player and you know,
some of the spaces tally is, is

1449
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,640
open up there, you know, talking
about some of the early season

1450
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,960
struggles.
When you were looking at those,

1451
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,560
what kind of thoughts were
coming into your head and kind

1452
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:10,000
of, you know, did you see the
vision and, and, and do we start

1453
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,040
to see this team start to put it
together as we kind of get into

1454
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,320
October now?
I mean, I heard y'all early.

1455
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:20,440
I heard y'all tonight and what I
what I had to liken it to so

1456
01:16:20,440 --> 01:16:23,640
people can understand is when
you guys first started doing

1457
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:27,280
podcasts, y'all were like, we
have a vision of what we want to

1458
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,120
do.
We want to be good at it.

1459
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,400
And you kept doing it.
You kept doing it.

1460
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,400
And then you start getting other
people on and bringing things

1461
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:35,440
in.
And even when y'all have

1462
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,560
difficulties, y'all be OK.
He's out, he freezes, I can go

1463
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,240
get him.
And so y'all had to learn how to

1464
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,080
be a great podcast, right?
Here's the one.

1465
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,880
Here's the one thing about it.
This is a football team that has

1466
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,760
to learn how to be a great
football team.

1467
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,760
And Coach Pride alluded to that.
Even with y'all in the

1468
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,960
beginning, you know, if y'all
listen to me say we ain't did

1469
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,520
shit yet, you know what I'm
saying?

1470
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,440
All this expectation is out
here.

1471
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:02,120
We got all these guys back, but
we hadn't done anything yet.

1472
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:05,080
So I think they had to continue
to learn how to win.

1473
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,960
And I think what what all of
them fought with coming in was,

1474
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,480
Oh yeah, everybody says we're
this good, so we're just this

1475
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:15,200
good.
So we just roll our helmet out

1476
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,240
or we're Virginia Tech and they
know we good at returning and

1477
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,400
that, you know, they said they
should bow down to us.

1478
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,920
And now they started, you know,
to learn how to do certain

1479
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,640
things and how to win.
I truly believe what you guys

1480
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,720
said.
Karen had to get back to being

1481
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:32,080
what Karen does.
Well, I think he came on the

1482
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,560
Y'all Show.
I remember him saying, yeah, we

1483
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,560
all came back because we want to
go to the league.

1484
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,640
That's that was it.
So he was already I'm in April,

1485
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,800
even though it was it was, you
know, January and February,

1486
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,320
right.
And so with that and then going

1487
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,560
and hanging out with, you know,
with Cam and and and with Shidur

1488
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,960
and practice with those guys, we
all got to the point like, yeah,

1489
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,400
he should come right back in and
boom, be that guy.

1490
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,200
But we all forgot he had only
had ten starts as a, as a

1491
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,280
college, as a Division One
college quarterback.

1492
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,720
So we looked at him to be where
those guys are AT and they've

1493
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,280
got 2436 starts underneath their
belt.

1494
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,160
And I think he tried to do
certain things.

1495
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,560
But going back to your question,
I mean to go off track, but I

1496
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,880
just saw them learning how to
win.

1497
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,240
And I, and I told Talley this.
I said, you know, they, they got

1498
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,840
punched in the mouth, they
tasted their own blood.

1499
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,400
They liked it and they could be
able to handle it.

1500
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,280
And that's what I that's what I
saw against Rutgers, even

1501
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,560
though, even though everybody
was pissed about Rutgers, I was

1502
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,400
like, yeah, this team, this team
is they're coming together.

1503
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,240
And so I wasn't, I wasn't
shocked what they did in Miami.

1504
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,920
I was, I wouldn't went to jail
because I was shocked out of ref

1505
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,040
was out there, you know, trying
to give it up.

1506
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,880
But I wasn't shocked with Miami.
I knew they could do great

1507
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,560
things.
I just think, I think some of

1508
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,240
the younger guys you can't take
off the field.

1509
01:18:52,480 --> 01:18:55,480
Some of the younger guys are
just that talented on the

1510
01:18:55,480 --> 01:18:58,440
defensive side.
Some of the, you know, the

1511
01:18:58,440 --> 01:19:01,480
younger guys on offense who
haven't had a chance to play,

1512
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:03,520
you know, you got to realize who
they are.

1513
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,880
Yeah, I think too.
And I think we've said it on

1514
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:09,080
here and you clearly have
watched a lot, Brian and Tally

1515
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,160
playing is there's some guys who
just do not practice.

1516
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,280
Well, they don't whatever
reason.

1517
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,760
I know a lot of times you hear
guys say it's up here like I

1518
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:22,120
can't go full bore and practice.
And I think sometimes I wish the

1519
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,480
coaching staff would just roll
the dice on a couple guys

1520
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:27,520
because you feel like I see his
physical presence.

1521
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,640
I think if you turned him out
there and it wasn't orange and

1522
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,920
maroon on that other helmet, he
would go shine.

1523
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,080
And, and I know they have to
make decisions because they're

1524
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,320
getting paid a lot of money.
And if a guy's not practicing,

1525
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,280
well, it's really tough to stake
your job to say, oh, I'm going

1526
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,280
to play him because.
You got to trust him.

1527
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,720
Exactly.
You got to trust him, right?

1528
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,840
You got to trust him.
So but, but I also, but I also

1529
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:55,640
think that it's, that's not
about trusting him, but it's all

1530
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,200
he some of guys are just they're
fit to do certain things.

1531
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,400
OK, so I'll give, I'll give you
one of my personal favorites.

1532
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,360
Quinton Reddish is a favorite
for me.

1533
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,400
One because he's from Charlotte
and because I'm from Charlotte

1534
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:15,040
and I knew the house high school
we played at and I always loved

1535
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,400
him.
So Q Reddish was always one of

1536
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,480
my favorites.
And when Q was going through

1537
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:21,920
camp and everything, he was
like.

1538
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,280
Because him and Kia roommates,
he was like, man, I I can't,

1539
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,360
they're just on me.
And I had to.

1540
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:30,320
I would hit them and tell them
they're on you because you're

1541
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,440
the future.
You fit.

1542
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,520
You have you have the frame and
the body of a free safety.

1543
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,200
You have it.
So you just got to go through

1544
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,080
your bumps and bruises.
So some guys just when they got

1545
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,880
on the field and we all saw it,
you're like, Oh my God, this

1546
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,320
guy's that.
So when Caleb Woodson gets on

1547
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,480
the field, they're like, how the
heck do you not play Caleb

1548
01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:51,360
Woodson?
Because you got to Sam Brunfield

1549
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:52,520
that you brought in through the
portal.

1550
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,280
Who has more experience?
And so you got to give this

1551
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,320
staff so much credit that they
know what they have in the

1552
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,640
background, but they want to
bring somebody in to keep them

1553
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,160
and mold them and shape them so
they can be ready.

1554
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,640
Let's go back.
Derek Canteen comes in last

1555
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,760
year, right?
Derek Canteen comes in and as a

1556
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:15,680
hokey, we wouldn't say he did a
lot of things, but what he did,

1557
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,240
he helped mature Dorian.
He got Monsieur to learn how to

1558
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:20,840
play, practice a certain kind of
way.

1559
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:22,760
He could fill in in certain
spots.

1560
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:28,200
So now you see Monsieur and and
and Dorian and those guys going

1561
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,960
to go play Minion Sundays
because they had a guy to bring

1562
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,520
them along.
So we're looking at Caleb

1563
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:37,320
Woodson this year and being
around the Sam Brunfield, he's

1564
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,040
been able to influence him.
He's able to influence a Gabe, a

1565
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,240
Gabe Williams.
He's able to influence some of

1566
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,960
those those guys.
So I think it's the what the

1567
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,280
staff is doing.
You know, everybody said, you

1568
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:50,000
know, the number one hit they
made in the Porter this year was

1569
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,720
was Caleb Spencer.
I don't think that.

1570
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,880
I think every guy that they
brought in has been a home run

1571
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,760
because he's helped mature a
younger guy behind them that may

1572
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,640
be better long term than the
person they brought in.

1573
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,240
Y'all catch?
So he they're they're they're

1574
01:22:07,480 --> 01:22:10,720
just some of those guys are that
and this is as far as they're

1575
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,920
going to go, but some of these
other kids that they're bringing

1576
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,760
in are going to be better than
them and have a chance to go do

1577
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,000
that.
And that's what I see.

1578
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,240
Yeah, you talk about Reddish and
I mean, you talked about how he

1579
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,320
was, you know, hearing from the
coaches and stuff like that.

1580
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,960
If you're a young guy, you want
that attention from the coaches

1581
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,240
because if they're paying that
much attention to you as a young

1582
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,240
guy, they really care about what
you can do.

1583
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,320
They do.
But you've been.

1584
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,640
But imagine Brian is Brian.
You've been great.

1585
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,760
Everywhere you've been, you've
been amazing.

1586
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,640
You've been head and shoulders
better than everybody.

1587
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,040
And every time you think you
can't do nothing right, you see?

1588
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:46,280
I get it.
I get it.

1589
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:48,920
So, so, yeah, we understand
that.

1590
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,800
Yeah.
As as guys who wish, you know,

1591
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,200
somebody, you know.
Oh, yeah.

1592
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,320
We, we take it now, but as a
young kid, man, it's tough.

1593
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:58,680
But he is, he's weathered that
and he's, he's playing, he's

1594
01:22:58,680 --> 01:22:59,920
playing really good ball right
now.

1595
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:01,120
And I'm proud.
I'm so proud of Qi.

1596
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:02,240
Don't know what to do with
myself.

1597
01:23:03,440 --> 01:23:07,000
It's just in that the thing that
of course you don't want to just

1598
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,720
rack your brain about what could
have been and this and that.

1599
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,560
But I just think about some of
the people that I've seen play

1600
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,680
against Miami, some of the
people I've seen play against

1601
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:23,120
Stanford, if they had played
against Vanderbilt, I feel like

1602
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,400
it'll be a different.
Game I think.

1603
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:27,840
You, I feel like, I feel like we
see a different game.

1604
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:33,720
I I think because you don't get
a preseason in college football

1605
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,400
because you don't, you only get
to practice against yourself.

1606
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,400
You don't know that.
And that's why you know, these

1607
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,680
first, these first three or four
games, you're trying to figure

1608
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,280
out who does what.
Like we were all going crazy.

1609
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,160
Like, yo, man, why they keep
switching the linebackers, Yo,

1610
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,520
why will keep this person here?
And you had to figure it out.

1611
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,160
And so, man, my hat's off to
Coach Marv, man, because he had

1612
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,000
to figure out, OK, I can play
him here or I can play him here,

1613
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:02,120
OK, just a traditional guy.
I can play Sam, but against a

1614
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,320
more mobile, fluid guy.
I got to play Caleb.

1615
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:07,520
OK, Caleb, I got to, you know, I
got to bring in Keller, you

1616
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,520
know, hey, listen, how am I
going to use Lawson?

1617
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,960
So, you know, just on that side,
even with the online and you

1618
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,440
know, that's a that's a
conversation we had to have

1619
01:24:16,440 --> 01:24:18,360
somewhere, you know, for
lemonade somewhere.

1620
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,440
But I understand the depth
situation.

1621
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,040
But you know, you got to, you
know, you got to elate them.

1622
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,160
You know, you don't know what he
can do.

1623
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,960
You put them in because you're
like, he's a talented guy.

1624
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,160
He's top, top recruit.
He's got to get in and play.

1625
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:35,480
But right now and him being
hurt, but it's good that you can

1626
01:24:35,480 --> 01:24:38,360
fall back on a Bob Schick that
understands, Hey, I got to get

1627
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,240
better.
But but what Bob has to

1628
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,440
understand also, Brodie Meadows
can play.

1629
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,120
Brody Meadows is a dog.
Johnny Garrett is an awesome

1630
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,360
kid.
And so and so and as many times

1631
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,040
as we people like, yo, this guy
needs to go.

1632
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:53,440
Well, you don't have the depth
to do it.

1633
01:24:53,480 --> 01:24:59,160
That's why for me, you know, the
guy who's who's just had to put,

1634
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,480
had to do so much work and man,
you know, turn, you know,

1635
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:06,120
chicken, chicken, you know,
Yeah, the chicken salad.

1636
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,520
It's Coach Crook, man, Coach
Crooked.

1637
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,040
Coach Crook to me has one of the
hardest jobs because he's to the

1638
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,320
point he hasn't even had a
chance to really get his guys in

1639
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,360
and all his guys are in the
weight room right now.

1640
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,000
All his guys are with deeds.
All his guys are getting

1641
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,320
technically sound and he's
trying to make this thing work

1642
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,880
and he's making it work.
So, you know, I just I just see

1643
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,960
number better things down the
road and with these four games

1644
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,280
or down down the stretch, you're
going to get to see some of

1645
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,040
those guys.
We've been wanting to see that,

1646
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,920
you know, the the Davidsons, the
the Aiden Lynches, you know, the

1647
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:39,560
Brody, you're going to get to
see those guys.

1648
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,240
Grant gets healthy.
You're going to be able to see

1649
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:42,960
those guys and I think they're
going to help us get where we're

1650
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:44,720
trying to get.
To But Chris, I'm going to make

1651
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,000
a point about Crooks and we've
said it here and you've heard us

1652
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,880
say it and you've kind of agreed
a few times.

1653
01:25:49,480 --> 01:25:53,320
The two guys who have had the
most time with Ron Crook is

1654
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,960
Xavier Chaplin and Braylon
Moore.

1655
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,680
And say what you want to say,
that's the two best guys on the

1656
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:03,280
line right now.
X is playing unbelievable and

1657
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:07,400
Braylon Moore to go from left
guard to now primarily playing

1658
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:13,120
center has played awesome to be
a second year starter.

1659
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:17,120
He is a red shirt sophomore and
he asked to switch positions.

1660
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:23,760
I mean, listen, this staff, you
know, no matter how much we try

1661
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,880
to bang on them for their being,
you know, inexperienced in

1662
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,400
certain areas are really, really
good coaches.

1663
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,880
And they've coached a lot of
football, a lot of different

1664
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:35,240
places.
So, you know, with Coach Crook

1665
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:41,120
really being on the job 18
months now, right, You're 18

1666
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:46,680
months, 18 months, you know,
like when he got the job, it's

1667
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,640
spring ball, you know, so he
he's trying to hustle and go out

1668
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,920
and recruit and talk to kids to
get his guys in.

1669
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,080
And then he's just trying to
take the guys He's got to grow.

1670
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:59,640
So yeah, Brett, you know, be
more red shirts saw he's going

1671
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,240
to be he's going to be awesome.
You know, I, I just think X is

1672
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:07,720
going to be X is going to be a
Sunday, a Sunday guy, you know,

1673
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,280
and, and his big and his
toughness, you know, his, his

1674
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,920
tech is him being technical.
He's just going to continue to

1675
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,000
get better.
So, you know, they got some

1676
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,680
other pieces.
Like I said, I love Brady

1677
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:24,720
Meadows, I love Johnny Garrett.
You know that they got, they got

01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:47,840
legendary.
But those guys are going to be

1687
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:50,840
solid and they're going to help
us get back to where they're

1688
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,360
going to help us get to where
we're trying to get to.

1689
01:27:53,440 --> 01:27:56,720
All right, so as we get near the
end of the conversation here,

1690
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,200
first of all, Chris, do you want
to hang with us and make some

1691
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:00,920
picks in a little few minutes
here?

1692
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:02,440
Oh.
Yeah, I can do that, yeah.

1693
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,240
I was hoping.
You'd say, yeah, I can always

1694
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:06,600
get out here still online, you
know, I ain't got no problem

1695
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,120
with that.
You know what?

1696
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,760
I'm saying, who's going like?

01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,200
but we'll get you on record.
You will get the pick first.

1698
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,520
No straight up Chris though.

And then what game is the one?

1704
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,280
I want to put this right.
What's the sneaky one?

1705
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,800
What's the one is you watch
football like we got to be

1706
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:47,040
careful here.
OK, the game that I am most

1707
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,560
looking forward to because I'm
selfish is Syracuse.

1708
01:28:52,440 --> 01:29:00,440
OK all.
Right, because that's Dad gum

1709
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:03,160
it.
Yeah, that'll be the chance of

1710
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:09,200
my kid.
My kid gets a play and, you

1711
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:10,800
know, that's what I'm excited
about.

1712
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:14,640
I, I, I, you know, I'm, I'm so
happy for him and so proud of

1713
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,640
him as a young man and for him
to have the opportunity that,

1714
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,800
you know, to go fulfill his
dream of going to play Division

1715
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:25,680
One football, to actually go
being on a snap at Division One

1716
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,240
level.
Hey, man, you know, like I said,

1717
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:32,320
I cry a lot, but I'm, I'm going,
I'm going to be emotional that

1718
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,000
day.
I was emotional at the spring

1719
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,800
game when the first time I saw
him run out.

1720
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,480
I'm emotional every time he
comes out of here in the Sandman

1721
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:41,320
through the tunnel.
And I'll definitely be emotional

1722
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,040
that day.
So Syracuse is the game that I'm

1723
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,840
looking forward to.
So I'm looking forward to that.

1724
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:54,600
And then ask for a team for the
team, you know, I'm just looking

1725
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:59,360
at the next one because
everything is laid out perfect

1726
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,840
for us as a program.
We have the third easiest

1727
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,720
schedule, I think down the
backstretch to get to Charlotte.

1728
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,440
I'm just telling you how, how
how confident I already got my

1729
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:13,160
room for Charlotte.
I booked my room for Charlotte

1730
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:16,040
in August because that's how how
good I think this football team

1731
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,160
is going to be.
And I think now coming to the

1732
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,520
backstretch where you got Boston
College is about to walk into

1733
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,280
something.
They have no idea what they're

1734
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:26,360
going to walk into because now
they know who they are.

1735
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:27,720
You know what I'm saying?
It's OK.

1736
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:28,920
I'm going to give you all the
reference.

1737
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,760
Tally will understand this.
Brian.

1738
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,320
Y'all might not get this.
Brian Curtis, you won't get

1739
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,160
this.
So there's this movie called The

1740
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,280
Last Dragon, right?
Right.

1741
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,960
And so this guy name was Bruce
Leroy, right?

1742
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,720
So he's fighting this together.
The villain is showing up,

1743
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,920
right?
So showing up is whooping his

1744
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:47,920
ass, right?
And he's dugging his head in the

1745
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,880
water.
He's like, who's the master?

1746
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,520
Keep pulling his head up.
And so then once Bruce Lee

1747
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:56,120
realized who the mass is in, he
raises up right out the ward.

1748
01:30:56,120 --> 01:31:00,600
He says I am and he just I am.
And that's what this football

1749
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:02,240
team is.
They don't get their ass

1750
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:03,880
whooped.
They felt like, and then they

1751
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,680
started remembering, Yo, I am
that I am that team.

1752
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,360
We are those dudes.
We are we are that squad.

1753
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:13,880
So I don't think I don't think
Boston College has any idea of

1754
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:15,320
it.
And and y'all listen in it.

1755
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,640
Y'all go back and look Bruce
Leroy in the final fight, you

1756
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,160
understand?
What I'm saying so you so Chris,

1757
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,680
you saying they got the.
They got the glow, baby.

1758
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,960
They got the glow, man.
They got the glow.

1759
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:25,400
Man, y'all got to go watch that
movie.

1760
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:26,880
That's one of my favorite
movies, man.

1761
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:28,880
Yeah, man.
The Last Dragon.

1762
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,080
The Last Dragon, they got the
glow, man.

1763
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,600
I think they're going to come
out Thursday night in that

1764
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,560
building, that electricity.
And the way this fan base is

1765
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,440
this, it's going to be a movie.
It's going to be a movie.

1766
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:44,200
Like I couldn't have imagined us
being six and O coming in a

1767
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,240
Thursday night.
I probably would have had to

1768
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:48,800
come to Blacksburg on a Tuesday
because we probably wouldn't be

1769
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,400
able to get in.
But then being three and three

1770
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,800
and being where they're at, I
think the Boston College game is

1771
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,040
going to be huge, and that's how
I feel.

1772
01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:59,560
Yeah, we, we've been looking at
it too.

1773
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,800
I've been, I've been talking to
some of the some of the BC guys

1774
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:07,640
and they went from from beating
their chest after that FSU game

1775
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,360
and feeling really good about
this to not feeling so hot about

1776
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:12,600
it.
Yeah, they, they, they got, they

1777
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,840
going to walk.
I mean, they going to remember a

1778
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:17,800
lot of these guys that we beat,
we beat them, we beat them in

1779
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,920
their own building like that,
like they stole something.

1780
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,560
Toot remembers that them jokes
didn't even want to speak to him

1781
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,240
because he was supposed to
either go go there or he came

1782
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,720
here.
So I just think they're I think

1783
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,200
they're going to be a lot.
They're going to be really a

1784
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,280
really tough, tough out from
here on in.

1785
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,520
Syracuse is going to be tough.
I think, you know, changing of

1786
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,800
the guard.
Like like coach said, you know,

1787
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,040
we were Clemson before Clemson
and and I think he has to get

1788
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:47,600
his signature win for me for
this fan base to really buy into

1789
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,840
him.
You know, he has to get a

1790
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,280
signature win.
And that could like Miami would

1791
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,560
have been his signature win and
then it would have been like it.

1792
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,400
But he needs his mouth.
He needs his signature win that

1793
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,080
launches him.
You know, coach Beamer had his

1794
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,360
the 95 Miami game.
That's the one that launched

1795
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,640
him.
I think this beating Clemson in

1796
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,560
lane launches him to the next
place.

1797
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,160
You know, and I think that I
don't think we lose the game.

1798
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,680
Honestly, man, I don't think we
lose another game this year

1799
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:23,960
until we go, you know, we go, we
go deal in the I I just, I just

1800
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,240
believe we get to the I think we
get to Charlotte and and we let

1801
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,120
the chips fall when we may I I I
want to.

1802
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:30,560
See a little rematch there with
the.

1803
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:34,720
Oh, because listen, I just want,
I just, I just want, I just want

1804
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:37,880
them to have to turn around and
say, OK, we're not going to

1805
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:42,400
we're only going to put two ACC
teams in and it's going to be

1806
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,480
the two playing the championship
and then watch everybody else go

1807
01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:46,040
crazy.
That's what I want to see.

1808
01:33:46,480 --> 01:33:49,080
That's what I want to see.
I want to see I, I love Bettman,

1809
01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:52,920
I love chaos, I love mayhem.
And I think that's what would

1810
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,200
happen if we go do what I expect
us to do, go win the ACC all.

1811
01:33:58,160 --> 01:33:59,040
Right.
Love to hear that.

1812
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,200
Tally, Brian, y'all got anything
else?

1813
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:02,240
Chris?
You've been awesome, dude.

1814
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:03,040
It's.
It's man.

1815
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,120
I appreciate y'all, man.
I appreciate y'all man.

1816
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,600
If.
We can get Chris not to be a

1817
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:10,320
Cowboys fan, man.
He might be hey.

1818
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,480
Hey, listen man, listen bro,
some relationships you can't

1819
01:34:14,480 --> 01:34:17,520
walk away with man.
I put my, I put my, I put my

1820
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,520
Rouge on, I put my lip sync on.
I fixed my wig and I tell him

1821
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,320
she loved me and, and I deal
with I have been in that

1822
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,120
relationship.
I have been in that relationship

1823
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:31,800
since 1977.
And I, you know, I just can't

1824
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:33,400
let her go.
I just can't man.

1825
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,320
Yeah, still turn it back now.
No, I'm done bro.

1826
01:34:36,480 --> 01:34:39,040
I'm done.
You know, I'm done, God willing.

1827
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,160
The only time I'm going to love
another team is a God.

1828
01:34:41,440 --> 01:34:44,880
God blesses my kid and he goes
play plays at the next level.

1829
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,800
And then that will be my
favorite team along with the

1830
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,000
Hoagies because I'm going to be
a hoagie for life.

1831
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:51,400
All righty here.
That's it.

1832
01:34:51,480 --> 01:34:53,800
Yep.
Well, Chris, thanks for just

1833
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:57,360

sharing your stories, your time,

1834
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:03,120
your emotions.
And I am hoping me and I am

1835
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,080

I'm trying.

1836
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:07,960
OK, I mean, I'll.
Get your number from tally.

Blacksburg, I'll be in
Blacksburg.

1840
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:19,120
It it was it was tough because
we are I was planning to go to

1841
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:20,840
Miami, but I ended up getting a
new position.

1842
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:24,000
So I ended up having to back out
and not go to Miami.

1843
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:25,600
And then I was never going to
Stanford.

1844
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:28,200
I was never going.
I wasn't doing that because the

1845
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:33,560
back your back like that because
Oh yeah, because I figured with

1846
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,040
I'm just thinking down the road,
I know we're going to have to

1847
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,640
travel a lot next year.
So I said, OK, let's let's

1848
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:40,560
figure this out.
But you.

01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:04,440
We do big screeners, we pick
some of the biggest or to us the

1859
01:36:04,440 --> 01:36:08,440
most intriguing or sometimes
just the ones that we think you

1860
01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:10,560
know what that's a good gambling
line.

1861
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,320
We going to take this and we
going to make a bet on it every

1862
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:17,800
week we do it and as usual we do
have a certain order here.

1863
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,440
So Brian is leading us off with
his game and then we'll let

1864
01:36:20,440 --> 01:36:23,520
Chris pick and then we'll throw
all our picks up here first

1865
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,360
game.
Yeah, man, we had we had

1866
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,560
back-to-back screw jobs.
So I had I had to pick the

1867
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:32,760
latest screw job on the Miami in
here, get Cal against Pit.

1868
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,960
Pit looking a little a little
good there.

1869
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:38,880
They got a little juice here
compared to what we thought they

1870
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,000
would have.
So, you know, look at this as

1871
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,320
line.
It's a, you know, Pit's a

1872
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:44,920
three-point favorite there at
home.

1873
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:47,320
Yeah, I'm going to take Cal
here.

1874
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:48,960
I think Cal's going to win that
one out, right?

1875
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,960
I like what I saw, what they put
together against Miami before

1876
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,480
they kind of collapse late.
They played pretty well so far

1877
01:36:55,480 --> 01:36:57,200
throughout the season.
Odd is him.

1878
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,520
So let's see what they can do
out there against Pitt.

1879
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,280
All right, I'm going to let I'm
going to let our guests go next

1880
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,360
here.
Chris Pitts laying three points.

1881
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:08,280
You going with the Panthers or
you taking the second team that

1882
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:09,800
got screwed by the ACC?
This.

1883
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,880
Year I'm I'm taking the more
physical team.

1884
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,360
I like Cal.
I do like Cal's game.

1885
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,440
Pitt has been you know, Pitt has
been sneaky though, and they've

1886
01:37:20,440 --> 01:37:21,640
got some really, really good
players.

1887
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:25,520
I like their wide receiver core.
You know, even though I don't

1888
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:30,080
like Narduzzi so much as a
person, as many as many people

1889
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:34,280
are feel that way.
You know, being a young, being a

1890
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:37,080
Youngstown guy and everything,
because that's for my wife and

1891
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,960
and Kila them from but I I I
like Cal, I like Cal

1892
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,120
physicality, but I I think that
loss.

1893
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,200
I don't I don't know how they're
going to.

1894
01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:49,240
I don't know if they're going to
have the fortitude to say we

1895
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:53,200
were up by 25, we got screwed,
or we going to keep looking back

1896
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,800
at that.
So but I'm I'm going to take Cal

1897
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,200
and come across country and
knock pit off because I need pit

1898
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,720
to get knocked off.
So yeah, I'll, I'll take Cal.

1899
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:05,280
All right, and I'm I'm with I'm
with you on this and with you

1900
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,520
and Brown and give me Cal.
I think they have a bounce back

1901
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,080
game.
That's good.

1902
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,880
Mendoza's good.
Not until the fourth quarter

1903
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,480
when a lot of screwy shit
started happening, did they not

1904
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:19,520
have Miami.
So yeah, three points.

1905
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:21,720
Give me the points when I like
the team outright.

1906
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:24,240
Sheldon, who's not in here
tonight, He is getting back from

1907
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:28,840
his travel.
Also going Cal Cal wagon tally

1908
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,880
tally.
I'm going Cal as well, and it's

1909
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,200
just because I need Pitt not to
be undefeated.

1910
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,840
A pit is too close to our
footprint.

1911
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,880
I need them to lose some games.
I don't need them coming in here

1912
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:43,280
sliding and trying to get no
kids or talking about how good

1913
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:44,720
they're doing.
So somebody need to beat the

1914
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,320
shit out of them.
I'm hoping this kind of there.

1915
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:49,960
We go.
Got you.

1916
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:51,440
All right, All right.
I'm Ryan.

1917
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:54,880
Kyle as well, and the Music Man
is the only one.

1918
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:56,880
On the pit man, of course.
Pit Pit of.

1919
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:02,400
Course.
He's getting called out here.

1920
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:04,480
He's getting called out.
He's in bed now.

1921
01:39:04,480 --> 01:39:11,240
I think he he old I The game I
am selecting this week is one of

1922
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,680
the all time favorite rivalry
games.

1923
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:17,000
Oklahoma, Texas, The Red River
Shootout.

1924
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
It ain't no rivalry.
It is the Red River Shootout at

1925
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:25,520
the State Fair in Dallas, TX.
A place one day I hope to go at

1926
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:27,840
the Cotton Bowl because it is
such a cool setting.

1927
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:34,560
Texas is laying 14 1/2 points.
I'm going to let our guests go

1928
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,920
first.
That is a lot of points to lay.

1929
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,680
You've seen this game a lot.
I know you're probably like,

1930
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:41,800
you're like all of us.
It's certain games.

1931
01:39:42,440 --> 01:39:44,720
Unless the Hokies are playing,
it's like I'm going to watch

1932
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:48,560
this one.
Oh, man, I'm, I'm a, I'm a big

1933
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,080
First off with just a big
football heads up.

1934
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:55,520
But 14 1/2 points, listen, I
don't care what it is.

1935
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,840
You're not going to give.
Oh, that, that is way too many

1936
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:02,800
points.
But I'm, I know this sounds

1937
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:04,560
crazy.
I'm going to take Oklahoma.

1938
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:06,360
That's just too many points to
give them.

1939
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,400
I don't think it's going to be a
blowout.

1940
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:12,920
I think Oklahoma's going to
stand up and that 14 points is

1941
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:14,360
too many.
Now I think Texas will win the

1942
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,560
game.
But gosh, I'm betting I'm taking

1943
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:19,920
OU.
I'm taking them to those 14

1944
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:22,040
points, so I'm going to take
Oklahoma in this one.

1945
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:28,240
Yeah, ride with Chris there.
If it was a maybe 10 and a hook,

1946
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:32,600
I might I might pull the trigger
on Texas 14 and a hook is way

1947
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:34,840
too damn many points.
So give me Oklahoma here.

1948
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:40,040
Yeah, I'm, I'm with you all on
this as well. 14 a half is way

1949
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:42,680
too much delay.
I've already seen Oklahoma's

1950
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,280
defense slow down Tennessee one
time.

1951
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:50,160
I do not think Texas's defense
is near as good as Tennessee's.

1952
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:53,280
I don't think they can.
I think it's going to be one of

1953
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:55,040
those memorable ones.
I think it's going to be like a

1954
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,680
touchdown game and I'm not sure.
I have not read it.

1955
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,200
First of all, I'm going to do
this real quick.

1956
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,400
He's still here.
He ain't asleep yet.

1957
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:05,720
It's the school night, Jason, go
to bed.

1958
01:41:06,480 --> 01:41:09,800
He can't he, he's enjoying
watching and listening to us too

1959
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:11,880
much.
But it's it's just, it's just

1960
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:13,840
too many points.
Too many.

1961
01:41:14,480 --> 01:41:21,440
Too many he's taking, he's
saying it ain't that's.

1962
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:28,400
Yeah, I'm man, it was a hard
game to pick for me because I

1963
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,400
actually did watch the Oklahoma
Auburn game and Auburn's not.

1964
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,480
The quarterback situation is not
very good.

1965
01:41:34,480 --> 01:41:36,040
It's the reason they lost to
Oklahoma.

1966
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,840
So I could see it being 14
points.

1967
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,720
But the hook is what got me.
You know, I think the Texas is

1968
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:46,200
the better team, but that 14 1/2
always scares me.

1969
01:41:46,480 --> 01:41:51,240
So I took Oklahoma in that.
Miranda.

1970
01:41:51,440 --> 01:41:55,560
Miranda's riding with Texas
Sheldon Miranda hey, Jason rode

1971
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:57,480
with us This time, though, he
took.

1972
01:41:57,480 --> 01:41:59,360
A time all.
Righty.

1973
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,720
Sheldon's game this week is he
is got the Penn State.

1974
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:07,320
It's some good games this week.
I mean, it's it's wow, this is

1975
01:42:07,440 --> 01:42:09,400
this is like the next two
weekends.

1976
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,960
I am really glad we got the bye
this week and I'm really glad

1977
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,280
we're playing Thursday night as
a college football.

1978
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:17,360
Fan.
He has got Penn State, USC, this

1979
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:27,960
is out of the Coliseum USCA 5
1/2 point home dog Chris, who

1980
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,760
you rolling with here?
I'm going to take Penn State in

1981
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,400
this one man Drew Aller man is
really starting to progress,

1982
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:39,640
become who he needs to be the
two running backs there and

1983
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:46,040
y'all know because well, just
you know, you got #10 you got

1984
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:48,240
what's Nick, what's it Nicholas,
what's it?

1985
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:51,720
I forget.
I just know my guy's 13 Tatron,

1986
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,960
we call him fat man here in the
757.

1987
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,080
He's a 757 kid.
He trains with Keelan.

1988
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:58,880
So I'm going to run with Penn
State.

1989
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:02,680
I think Allen's, it'll be fine.
They're trying to make the tight

1990
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,640
end there like, you know, the
greatest thing since sliced

1991
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:07,680
bread because he can do so many
different things.

1992
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,440
And I think, I think Penn State
goes out there and get their

1993
01:43:10,440 --> 01:43:12,560
signature win.
Coach Franklin needs this one.

1994
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,520
He needs to go out there, keep
this ball rolling because he's

1995
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:18,440
trying to be in the group of 12.
So I got Penn State, Penn.

1996
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:21,040
State.
Yep.

1997
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:26,080
I like Penn State here as well.
You know, USUSC has looked good

1998
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:28,280
at times where they haven't like
super impressed me.

1999
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:32,240
I think Penn State is putting
together a pretty good season.

2000
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:35,240
They've got, you know, guys kind
of at a lot of different places

2001
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,040
can give a lot of different
teams problems.

2002
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,120
So I think it's going to be Penn
State here.

2003
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:44,200
All right, I'm, I'm, I'm going
the opposite of y'all, Penn

2004
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:47,120
State don't know how to play
outside of Southern California

2005
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,840
or outside of Las Vegas, where
it's nice and warm.

2006
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:54,040
If this was in Happy Valley, I'd
be willing to lay 10, but with

2007
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:58,560
five and a half too much to lay.
I do think Penn State's going to

2008
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:02,320
win this game, but I think it's
going to be a unbelievable

2009
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:07,400
offensive showcase.
Wow, 5 1/2, just too much to lay

2010
01:44:08,440 --> 01:44:10,160
be OK with three or three and a
half.

2011
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:14,160
I think it's like a touchdown.
It's like a like a 3-4 point

2012
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:15,200
win.
It's it's just going to be

2013
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:16,560
close.
OK.

2014
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:19,160
Sheldon's riding with you,
Curtis.

2015
01:44:21,440 --> 01:44:27,360
I am not riding with Curtis and
I think Penn State in this game.

2016
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:31,560
I've picked Southern Cal a
couple of times and I've watched

2017
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,920
them just a little bit.
Like I said, one of my friends

2018
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:39,440
from here, son, plays on
Southern Cows defense.

2019
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,160
So I watched him a couple times,
and I just think Penn State's

2020
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:46,000
the better team and I think
they'll win by, you know, 7 to

2021
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:51,240
12 points in this game.
All right, Miranda's riding with

2022
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:54,760
Curtis and Sheldon and Jason's
riding with the rest of us.

2023
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,680
Here OK.
Now now before we jump to

2024
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:02,560
Tally's game here, I do want to
just bring up last week, last

2025
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:07,520
week Brian four and two Sheldon
four and two Tally breaking 503

2026
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,640
and 3 Brandon Jason to two and
four and I was five and one but

2027
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:13,800
y'all say that I was at 5:00
and.

2028
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:18,160
One with your chest.
Curtis, I was saying here's for

2029
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:20,720
land like you know, Yeah, I'm,
I'm the big boss of the Bible.

2030
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:28,680
Right now if if you have been
riding with myself, Jason, Cali

2031
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,640
or Brian, we would have made you
some money so far this year.

2032
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:36,960
OK, we ain't all wrong battling
all of us slightly over 50%.

2033
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:38,880
That's what's up.
Cali.

2034
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,360
You got a big one, man, You got.
Yeah, man, this is going to be I

2035
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:44,640
think this is going to be a a
good game.

2036
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,400
You got Ohio State versus
Oregon.

2037
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:53,760
I don't know, man, Ohio State's
while receiving calls just off

2038
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:56,880
the chains every year is they
they'll send some people to the

2039
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,480
NFL and then they'll pull some
people from another NFL.

2040
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,200
I don't know where they get
these kids from, but you know,

2041
01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:04,920
it's Oregon's always a solid
team.

2042
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:06,960
They're going to come out with
some crazy jerseys on.

2043
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:11,200
I think this is going to be a
very entertaining game, but I'm

2044
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,800
going to take Ohio State in this
game because I don't know, I

2045
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:18,480
just feel like Ohio State,
they're receiving Corp just

2046
01:46:18,480 --> 01:46:22,320
impressed with them.
Chris, what about you man?

2047
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:26,440
Big 1730 on on Saturday night.
Oh, that's good.

2048
01:46:26,440 --> 01:46:27,960
I'll be, I'll be in for that
one.

2049
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:30,240
Listen, I'm going to go with
Ohio State on this.

2050
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:33,920
Like Tally said about about the
wide receiver corps.

2051
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,160
Yeah, you turned around, you've
got a guy.

2052
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,240
I think I said I did say that to
Tally.

2053
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:41,760
So we were talking about
Jeremiah Smith.

2054
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:45,520
So Jeremiah Smith is the number
one player in the 2024 class,

2055
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,880
not number one wide receiver,
the absolute number one player.

2056
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:53,600
And so I, you know, I had to
watch all that transpired.

2057
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:56,680
The kid is he's amazing.
He's really, really good.

2058
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:59,960
Like he's tough.
But you got to Mecca Bouique and

2059
01:46:59,960 --> 01:47:03,920
Mecca Bouique was the number one
wide receiver in the 20, I think

2060
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:08,000
the 20, the 2021 class, he was
the number one guy.

2061
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:11,320
There was another guy that was
in his class too, Marvin

2062
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:13,160
Harrison Junior who plays in the
NFL.

2063
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:16,640
So that's how that's they go get
them, man.

2064
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,800
They they're going to go get the
number one kid, Brian Hart.

2065
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:23,840
Coach Hardline is amazing up
there and they got the guys

2066
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:25,920
there, they got him.
They got Trevor Henderson,

2067
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:29,680
another 757 kid.
And then you turn around, you

2068
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:33,720
got Junkins who was down in Ole
Miss, Man, that's going to be

2069
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:35,040
great.
And I think that's just going to

2070
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:38,120
be the pressure that's on coach
day this year.

2071
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:39,960
That's got to be his.
That's going to be his.

2072
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,680
I'm that I'm that school.
Like I think they'll beating

2073
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:46,480
Michigan that he has to do for
the program.

2074
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,560
He's going to go out there and
beat Oregon to say I'm the best

2075
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,880
team in the country because he's
probably going to face that

2076
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:53,720
other team down in Austin to win
the whole thing.

2077
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:56,080
And if you don't win it this
year, he in trouble.

2078
01:47:56,080 --> 01:48:02,440
So I got Ohio State.
Yeah, I, I, I like all of that,

2079
01:48:02,440 --> 01:48:08,120
but it's something about going
to the Austin Zoo, man, it hits

2080
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,560
different.
I think that the the fans are

2081
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:14,640
going to impact that game.
I think Oregon's a damn solid

2082
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:16,040
team.
They've they've got some some

2083
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,000
dudes out there that can make
some plays.

2084
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:23,760
I think they do just enough.
You know, I, I, I could see

2085
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,160
Oregon maybe winning this out
right, But I think it comes down

2086
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,440
to a field goal late.
So give me Oregon.

2087
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:34,240
That's gonna be dope.
I love the Austin zoo.

2088
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,240
The Austin zoo is one of those
places.

2089
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:40,040
It's it's it it's you know, in a
lot like lane stadium.

2090
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:43,000
It ain't the biggest, but she
roars when she roars.

2091
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,960
But I can't do it.
I cannot kick Oregon way Ohio

2092
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,160
State play this year.
They they what they did to Iowa.

2093
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:53,400
Iowa is one of the best
defensive coach teams.

2094
01:48:53,440 --> 01:48:57,400
Y'all know this and and Iowa had
it tricked down the first half

2095
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:02,960
and when they come out like 28
on them in the second-half, you

2096
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:04,720
know what's scary?
You know what's scary?

2097
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:08,080
That that's the scary piece.
So give me Ohio State, I'll take

2098
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:11,280
I'll, I'll lay the points.
Sheldon Scott.

2099
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:14,480
Sheldon, Ohio State.
OK.

2100
01:49:15,440 --> 01:49:23,280
Ohio State, Miranda and Jason,
Brian, you all alone, man, You

2101
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,560
are.
All alone, man, Real good or

2102
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:29,480
real bad?
Beat alone won't be Go ahead.

2103
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:34,680
Beat alone won't be all righty.
Our wonderful contributing

2104
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:38,240
writer is going with one of
those classic SEC rivalries.

2105
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:45,320
Always a good time on Rocky Top.
Florida, Tennessee laying 15 1/2

2106
01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:48,760
points.
Chris, can you lay 15 1/2?

2107
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:53,400
Or.
Are you going with oh Rocky Top?

2108
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:57,120
And it's in Tennessee.
It is at Tennessee.

2109
01:49:57,360 --> 01:49:58,760
Oh yeah.
Yeah, Oh.

2110
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:03,280
Yeah, 10, Yeah, yeah.
My man's in trouble, man.

2111
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,080
God, he goes.
Oh, God, what?

2112
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,960
What time's the game?
Hold on, let me get you up here.

2113
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:13,800
It is a 7:00 night kick.
They probably going to come up

2114
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:16,440
with those black and orange
uniforms on 2O.

2115
01:50:16,440 --> 01:50:22,000
God, God, 15 is a lot and but
Florida hasn't looked really

2116
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:27,080
good at all this year.
Yeah, what, 15?

2117
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:37,920
God, that's a lot of points.
Yeah, man, I'm I'm, I'm Jesus.

2118
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:40,800
That's a lot of.
Points man Chris Chris, you want

2119
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,720
us to run through?
Because Yeah, yeah, let me tell

2120
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:45,600
you, all of a sudden, yeah,
yeah, yeah.

2121
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:47,040
Go ahead, Charlie.
Somebody just let.

2122
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,320
Me think about it, Brian.
We'll go through everybody and

2123
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:50,840
then we'll come back to you,
Brian.

2124
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,120
Tennessee's pissed and they're
playing at home.

2125
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,960
It's a night game.
That's all I need to know.

2126
01:50:57,520 --> 01:50:59,720
OK.
Bingo, bingo, bingo.

2127
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,880
Tennessee is pissed.
They got embarrassed down in

2128
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,080
Fayetteville against the
Razorbacks.

2129
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,520
This is one of those.
I think it's going to be about

2130
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,560
24 to 28.
I think they going to spank

2131
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:13,000
them.
And I think Billy Napier might

2132
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,440
not have a job come Monday
because you're right, Chris, he

2133
01:51:16,440 --> 01:51:20,640
is in trouble.
Shelton is riding with Tennessee

2134
01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:22,000
as well.
Tally what you got.

2135
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,360
Man, I'm I'm going to go with
Florida in this game, not

2136
01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:26,960
because I think Florida's going
to win.

2137
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:31,720
I just think that that's a lot
of points to lay and Tennessee

2138
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:36,160
is upset about last week.
I think that that may be, you

2139
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:40,240
know, first of all, they've had
a lot of games in a row, but

2140
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,520
they've had to play, you know,
like what They had Oklahoma,

2141
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,840
then we got Arkansas, and these
games are physical, you know,

2142
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,320
they're hitting.
And right now Florida's kind of

2143
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:51,360
a doormat.
You know, that that that's kind

2144
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:55,400
of what the SEC is looking at.
It's looking at them like.

2145
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:59,080
But guess what?
After they play Arkansas and

2146
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,040
they lost, they got Florida.
Guess what they got next week?

2147
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:04,800
Alabama.
They got Alabama.

2148
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,520
Do you know anything about those
rivalries?

2149
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,800
Tennessee and Alabama hate each
other.

2150
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:13,920
When Alabama went on, when
Alabama got put on probation,

2151
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:16,520
that was Tennessee.
They got Alabama put on

2152
01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:18,760
probation.
So you talk about Alabama and

2153
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:21,680
Auburn, AL and Tennessee is at
that level.

2154
01:52:22,440 --> 01:52:24,520
I just think Florida's going to
sneak into.

2155
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,880
I'm not saying they're going to
win, but I think they're going

2156
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:31,320
to make it more of a game
because of all the stuff that

2157
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,400
Tennessee has going on.
But that's my opinion.

2158
01:52:34,480 --> 01:52:36,560
All right.
Seeing a back door cover there

2159
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:38,240
Tally.
Back door cover.

2160
01:52:38,480 --> 01:52:41,880
Back door cover.
Durant is rolling with

2161
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,600
Tennessee, and so is Jason.
So, Chris?

2162
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,560
That's all I needed that back
story.

2163
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:50,800
There you go then I'm going I'm
going Florida that that's that's

2164
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:53,240
it because they're mad think
about it.

2165
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,680
They pissed off their laws of
Arkansas, but they looking past

2166
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,240
Florida and Billy's playing for
his job.

2167
01:52:58,440 --> 01:53:01,280
So they're going to lose but
they're not going to lose that

2168
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:04,000
bad.
So that's just too many 15 1/2

2169
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,160
points is a lot of points.
Remember they they said we were

2170
01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:09,240
going to go down and lose by 17
to Miami.

2171
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,360
I knew that that pissed the oh,
yeah.

2172
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:13,960
So I, I, yeah.
So I, I, I get, I'm, I'm going

2173
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:15,320
with Florida.
I'm, I'm gonna ride with you

2174
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:16,680
all.
He won't be the lone wolf on

2175
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:18,720
that one.
Not the lone wolf on me.

2176
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:21,120
Not the lone wolf.
He won't be the lone rider.

2177
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:23,520
All righty.
Here, he won't be the Midnight

2178
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:27,040
rider on that one.
The Midnight Rider All right, so

2179
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:30,800
I'm music Man Jason.
He is going down to the Bayou

2180
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:33,720
and looking at the Ole Miss LSU
game.

2181
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:47,200
Jimmy do from the new and the
place buzz people will come see

2182
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:51,880
he falls behind us.
We dress in style.

2183
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:58,840
Woah, wound the old mound.
So we're gonna let it fall now.

2184
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:05,200
Home bound.
OK, Welcome back to guitar licks

2185
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:07,360
and gambling picks.
I'm Jason Long.

2186
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,400
Now, you Hank fans have probably
already figured it out.

2187
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:12,360
I'm looking at the LSU game this
week.

2188
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:15,400
Ole Miss is travelling to Death
Valley.

2189
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:19,720
I think LSU is going to win
outright and Vegas is giving

2190
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:22,560
them 2 1/2 points, so I'm going
to take the Tigers all day on

2191
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:24,720
that one.
Now the best part about this

2192
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:28,200
matchup is the game starts at
6:00 Eastern and that's dinner

2193
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:32,200
time at my house.
So I think I'm going to have and

2194
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:35,520
jump a light crossed.
I feel it gone.

2195
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:44,320
Of course, tonight don't sing my
ship me you pick it up.

2196
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:51,200
If you jar and begin, Son of a
gun will let it fun hold the

2197
01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:55,840
fire.
Son of a Gun will have it fun.

2198
01:54:56,040 --> 01:55:02,160
Hold the fire.
See you next week.

2199
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:12,080
All righty, so we got Ole Miss
LSULSUA home dog in Death Valley

2200
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:17,200
on a Saturday night.
Chris Lester, if you if you need

2201
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:18,960
to think about it, let me know.
We let.

2202
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:20,640
You guys in?
No, I'm easy.

2203
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:23,680
I'm easy with this one.
I like Lane Kiffin.

2204
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:28,360
I I think I think this is going
to be a time for, you know, the

2205
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:30,680
emotional coaches sit there and
say these are games that we

2206
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:33,440
should win and maybe you'll
knock the water over this time.

2207
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:35,840
You know, I like Ole Miss in
this one.

2208
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,800
I like Wayne Jackson Dart.
I like that football team.

2209
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:41,600
I like that football team a lot.
I like Juice Wells to go ahead

2210
01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:43,600
and have another have a breakout
game.

2211
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:45,360
And yeah, I like Ole Miss in
this one.

2212
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:50,280
All right.
Yeah, I I like Ole Miss as well.

2213
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:53,920
I think, I think darts going to
handle some business in this

2214
01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:57,640
one.
That's a tough place to go into,

2215
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,480
but I think they've got the
juice on the offensive side of

2216
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:04,200
the ball to go in there, handle,
handle that pressure, take care

2217
01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:06,480
of business, come out there with
the Dub.

2218
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:14,640
As much as I dislike Brian
Kelly, it is going to be a hell

2219
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:18,960
of a thing for Ole Miss to go in
and do what they did.

2220
01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:22,560
We've seen Ole Miss against Ng
defenses, right?

2221
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:24,880
We've seen all this against some
stingy defenses.

2222
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:27,920
Kentucky slowed them down at
home.

2223
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:32,160
I'm with Jason on this.
I, I, I think LSU pulls it out.

2224
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,080
I think that crowd's going to
have a significant effect on

2225
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:40,600
what Lane wants to do.
And I just, I felt like they

2226
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:44,080
should have smoked South
Carolina by more last week.

2227
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:49,080
Felt like 27 to 9.
The way South Carolina looks, I,

2228
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:51,600
I just can't do it.
So I'll take LSU at home.

2229
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,040
Shelton's riding with you there,
Curtis Tally.

2230
01:56:56,880 --> 01:57:00,720
Yeah, I can't pick LSU until
they bring back Nick down there.

2231
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:03,840
It's like the hope you need to
bring back, stick it in.

2232
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:08,600
So I just think, I do think I do
think Ole Miss is the better

2233
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:11,440
team here.
I think Lane kind of thrives in

2234
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:15,440
certain positions.
So I think that Ole Miss, I like

2235
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:17,480
them better in this game there.
You go.

2236
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,400
Miranda's riding with us there.
Tally.

2237
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:24,080
With.
Jason, we know taking the

2238
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:25,640
Tigers.
Taking the.

2239
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:28,400
Tigers all right.
There's the rundown.

2240
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,560
There you go.
By the way, we got to think

2241
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:36,000
about the last three weeks of
our music man's genre range.

2242
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:39,960
If y'all have not been paying
attention, several weeks ago he

2243
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:42,040
did California Love.
Last.

2244
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:44,960
Week, Chris.
You Yeah, he did Purple Rain.

2245
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,800
He did Purple Rain Man.
That was that was dope.

2246
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:49,280
I like that.
That was nice.

2247
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:53,040
In this week going back to the
1950s, he bringing up some Hank

2248
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,080
Williams senior and some of the
classic country music.

2249
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:59,400
Again, y'all check Jason out.
He's always out here.

2250
01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:01,480
We, we've known Jason pretty
much.

2251
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,080
I've known him pretty much my
whole life.

2252
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:08,960
So always check him out.
Chris, my man, we appreciate you

2253
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:10,880

I can't say much more than that,

2254
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:11,960

and let us to be logical.

2259
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:31,560
So when we come and talk to
y'all on a on a Tuesday night,

2260
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:34,960
we've had all the emotion.

2261
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:36,760
and y'all come with great
content.

2262
01:58:36,960 --> 01:58:39,560
Shelton is my stat child.
I love him.

2263
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,200
I just want to hear him talk
stats.

2264
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:44,160
I'm going to adopt him one day
and just have him run all stats

2265
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:48,920
for me and make me sound
smarter, help me when I'm when

2266
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:50,200
I'm when I'm fussing with
people.

2267
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,360
But man, y'all do do a great job
man.

2268
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,240
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for inviting me in and

2269
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:56,840

2270
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:01,640
Yeah, definitely, man.
We always love when Chris comes

2271
01:59:01,640 --> 01:59:03,760
through as well as everybody
else in the chat, man.

2272
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:06,720
I mean, I every week it seems
like we're getting more and

2273
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:10,320
more, you know, people talking
in the chat, man, please

2274
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:14,280
continue to do that.
The love, we, we appreciate the

2275
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:17,600
love, but we also couldn't do
what we do without, you know,

2276
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:21,600
you guys throwing stuff in there
for us, letting us know what

2277
01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:25,320
you're thinking, showing us some
new things that we probably

2278
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:27,920
didn't see.
That's why this community is so

2279
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:30,640
great.
That's why we are family again,

2280
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:35,240
so much knowledge, so much, you
know, talent in in in the fan

2281
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:38,160
base them and we love to love to
see it.

2282
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:41,840
Yeah, Chris, Chris has got it's
got a hat on that I'm kind of

2283
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:43,280
jealous of.
I'm trying not to look.

2284
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:45,320
I'm trying not to look over
that.

2285
01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:48,280
Hey.
Man, listen bro, my I told you

2286
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,080
and I told you.
This is why I started following

2287
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:51,400
you, Brian.
This is why I followed you all.

2288
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:56,880
Tally's hat game was so crazy.
I was like, yo, I got to meet

2289
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,200
him.
His hat game is crazy.

2290
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:03,200
So because before I came here, I
wouldn't even wear.

2291
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:08,280
You know, just just know, you
know, I wouldn't even wear.

2292
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:11,880
So I thought I was like, yeah,
man, you know, back in the day,

2293
02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:13,680
you know, I wasn't always a
model citizen.

2294
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:17,440
So my kids laugh at me.
So I said I don't wear orange.

2295
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,320
That was a big thing with tech.
So.

2296
02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:22,960
But he hadn't had a hat on.
So I got this one from the SWBA

2297
02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,760
shop.
Man shout out to this is that?

2298
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:28,200
The one with the rubber, that's
the one with the rubber.

2299
02:00:33,560 --> 02:00:36,440
I had it last year.
He's going to the NC State game.

2300
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:39,200
So I just, I just try to pick up
a different 1 here and there.

2301
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:42,200
I'm, I'm trying to, I'm trying
to work to get to Tally's level.

2302
02:00:42,200 --> 02:00:44,760
I'll probably will never pass
him, but I'm working to get.

2303
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:47,560
To that you you already there,
don't even worry about.

2304
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:50,400
It I just try to get, I just try
to give, you know, much love to

2305
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,400
all the different creators out
there.

2306
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:56,080
But the SWBA guys, they, they
always, they look out for you to

2307
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:58,640
like if I see someone like, yo,
I need that.

2308
02:00:58,640 --> 02:00:59,920
And they're like, hey, yeah,
meet me.

2309
02:00:59,920 --> 02:01:01,000
And they'll just meet me with
it.

2310
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:02,480
And I'm like, that's, that's
all.

2311
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:03,760
That's why I like these guys.
Guys, man.

2312
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,040
They'll meet me anywhere.
They got a little money for

2313
02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:07,720
them, they'll bring me a hat and
that's what's up.

2314
02:01:08,080 --> 02:01:09,880
There we go.
Love it, love it.

2315
02:01:10,320 --> 02:01:13,360
All righty Well y'all, that is
going to wrap up this episode of

2316
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:16,120
the Boundary Corner Podcast
brought to you by the Counts

2317
