00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,700
Welcome back to The Foundry
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:52,600
I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian sigla, buddy.

3
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,400
It is a Monday night.
This is not a normal recording

4
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,600
night for us.
It feels a little different

5
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Monday.
Been a long.

6
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:06,700
Great Christmas weekend little
unusual but you're off this

7
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,100
week.
I'm working a few hours here and

8
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,400
there over the next couple days,
buddy.

9
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,700
How was your Christmas?
It was good man.

10
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:17,000
It was it was more, it was
relaxing, it releases a relaxing

11
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,700
is can be considering I had to
drive to South Boston Virginia

12
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:25,200
Beach so I'll take it.
We were down down of mom's a

13
00:01:25,208 --> 00:01:29,400
couple days down at my wife's
mom's a couple days and in the

14
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800
middle we were here for about 12
hours.

15
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:37,700
Hours, 15 hours on Christmas Eve
into Christmas day.

16
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:40,500
So it was a little hectic, but
we got it done.

17
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:45,000
How about your family?
Good man, just just up here with

18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,300
the inlaws, we're figuring out
of time to for my mother to come

19
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:52,400
up and visit with us sometime
over the next couple weeks.

20
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,600
We'll figure that out, but it
was good, it was, you know, not

21
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
as rushing.
Usually, it's where, you know,

22
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,000
we do Christmas, Here and then
we go out to my wife's family

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
and then usually a couple days
later we're seeing my family and

24
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,800
going down.
So you know different this year

25
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,400
just with the brother-in-law's
for dinner.

26
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Christmas Eve.
They all came over here,

27
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Christmas morning and then my
mother-in-law fix us a nice

28
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,100
dinner on my Christmas Day
night.

29
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,900
Because we literally had nothing
to do just kind of like what you

30
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:29,000
want to do and she's more make
something yummy come over right?

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,900
Cool.
Beat the kids, the kids cleaned

32
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:35,000
up.
Same here.

33
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,000
My my living room in the
playroom that you know, of looks

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,700
literally like a bomb went off.
Yeah.

35
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:49,600
Christmas day walking in like
it's casualty like good God.

36
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:54,200
And then as you for you guys who
are younger without kids that

37
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,300
listen to us, Don't try to clean
it up on Christmas day.

38
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:02,100
Just don't, it's, you're wasting
your time.

39
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,500
Yeah, I mean, by the time you
clean it up like the next round

40
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,000
happens and then, or something
else gets open for the first

41
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
time and it's a brand, new level
of miss, you kind of just let it

42
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
all happen.
Do kind of one big scoop make

43
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,100
your dump run and then easy
peasy.

44
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:27,200
Yeah, it's really funny because,
you know, We're sitting here and

45
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,800
I got tons of marble stuff for
the kids.

46
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,400
The kids got tons of marble
place from Santa Claus, Mario

47
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,000
stuff so many things here and
there, and it was just kind of

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
like, it started.
It's a Friday, did nothing

49
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:42,900
Saturday.
Didn't touch it until the

50
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,000
evening, when my youngest my
older son, he got out a board

51
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,100
game gets sorry, the classic.
Sorry and Little Bro, went to

52
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,600
bed early.
He got to stay up late.

53
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,300
He wanted to play.
I'm like, cool.

54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Listen, we need the ottoman
which is currently buried behind

55
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,800
a bunch of your toys.
You need to clear path and to

56
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,500
stuff in here and get the
ottoman in.

57
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,200
I left it for minutes later.
A good amount of toys were

58
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,100
picked up.
In the ottoman was rolled it.

59
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:20,300
Nice nice.
And then I eventually went and

60
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:22,300
beat him.
My wife on Clara which my wife

61
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:26,600
is real.
Salty about oh, Oh well salty

62
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:35,400
with board games, she did salty.
Yeah but she always claims that

63
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:40,400
I sit here and I look like I
have no chance that I am going

64
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,600
to win and then I pulled the
ultimate comebacks.

65
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,900
Sorry literally all four of my
tan starts, they have three or

66
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:53,300
four out all Rowland.
Your boy came back.

67
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,500
Hey, fourth quarter comeback.
I like it.

68
00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:59,800
I like it.
So yeah, man.

69
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,400
But uh, it's been great and
like, you know, he said it's a

70
00:05:03,407 --> 00:05:04,900
Monday.
He's off.

71
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:06,600
I'm working some hours this
week.

72
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:08,400
We're going to watch a lot of
football.

73
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, starting tonight rolling
on literally until what next

74
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,600
Monday.
Oh, yeah.

75
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Sunday, Sunday.
So, this is, this is the good

76
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,800
times fellas, although it's not
quite as good.

77
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:27,400
Normally is but you know hey
enjoy yeah.

78
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,400
What we could be playing
somewhere, we chose not to,

79
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:34,200
there's your big thing, you can
say we chose not to and for

80
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,400
everybody that listens last week
we really appreciate it.

81
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Appreciated Germany for coming

82
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,600

So well done guys.

83
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,500
You did we might uh yep.
Thank y'all very Very much for

84
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:58,100
that.
And, you know, Yeah, it was good

85
00:05:58,100 --> 00:05:58,800
week.
It was good.

86
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,900
We good good, enjoy Christmas.
Good to have, have some things

87
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:05,300
looking nice.
You know, I wish things were

88
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,800
going is good at Hokie Nation,
but we did get some good news a

89
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,900
little bit earlier today, buddy.
Damn right man, Big Stone Gap,

90
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:16,500
releases a little video.
First when you saw it come up.

91
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,300
Like I did, it was like oh why
is this a video?

92
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,700
Oh no, this is not gonna be good
and then at the, you know, you

93
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:29,000
Watch it.
You get to the last and it's

94
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
like I'm back and it's like,
thank you.

95
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:38,900
And yes and as me and Brian have
already, sort of put out there

96
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:43,500
are logical side of our brains.
Don't feel good about next year.

97
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:52,200
We just don't Having James back
help somewhat it not.

98
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:56,100
It makes a super happy.
He's an awesome player, he comes

99
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,700
back and balls.
Again, he's going to push

100
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,700
himself into the upper regions
of the NFL draft.

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,600
He goes from probably being the
like in the top five of the

102
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,800
class this year to probably be
in the top two or three next

103
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,600
year, maybe even head of that
class.

104
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
So I mean it's probably a good
thing for him.

105
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,300
It's Only good thing for us,
obviously, getting him back.

106
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:23,800
So, win-win, here on this part,
I mean, you could make the

107
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,300
argument you strike while the
Iron's hot, but at the same

108
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,600
time, I think he does have room
where he can improve his stock.

109
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,100
If he has another good season or
at least a season, like he had

110
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,800
this year, I think that stock
will go up just because they

111
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,800
won't be quite as deep at tight
end next season with the guys

112
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,500
coming out.
So should be good either way,

113
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,300
they're obviously, we love
having him back.

114
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:45,700
I mean versatile player do a
little bit.

115
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:49,300
Everything is blocking his Not a
whole lot better in the last

116
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:53,300
year we saw that on field tape
this year.

117
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:57,200
So that's big and that's going
to be helpful in the with an

118
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,500
offensive line that we'll talk
about later.

119
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:02,100
That may may have some some
holes to fill.

120
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:06,400
So, good to have Big Stone Gap
back in the in the fold here.

121
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,400
Absolutely.
And you know, like you said,

122
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,700
it's a versatility and I think
next year, even more of the

123
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,200
versatility probably showing his
hands more, his blocking has

124
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,400
improved.
And just as body tight, just to

125
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,300
get slightly, it's like to get
slightly more fit to sort of

126
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,900
slightly this much in these
particular areas.

127
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800
And to go from a guy who's
probably going to get, drafted

128
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,600
5th to 7th round to potentially
first, two days.

129
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,299
If he goes out, and you look at
his body type potentially, what

130
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:42,500
he could do at the combine
really shooting himself up into

131
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:47,300
that upper echelon.
But Brian, you know, Everything

132
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,600
had been sunshine and roses and
the guy that I would say kind of

133
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,200
kicked it off and no disrespect
to him, but kind of kicked it

134
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000
off after the pit game.
Quincy Patterson goes to North

135
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Dakota State.
I'm happy in the reason I'm

136
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,600
happy he landed, they're not you
know Illinois or you know, on

137
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,000
the breath.
He's going somewhere where

138
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,400
there's an unbelievable culture.
They win football games.

139
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,100
He's going to be able to Case
himself.

140
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,400
They won.
Yeah, that's the big thing is

141
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,000
that they have a history of kind
of taking the bigger body

142
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600
quarterbacks and getting a lot
out of them, teaching them to

143
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,300
learn offenses very well, they
have a winning culture, they're

144
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:38,000
known to put points on the
board.

145
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,900
I think it's a very good fit for
him.

146
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:45,300
I think it's a very good fit for
their school and if he, if he's

147
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:47,600
leaving us, I'm happy that he's
going somewhere where I think

148
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,900
he's going to make some noise.
And it even though you know

149
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,800
you're taking a step down here,
that's a school that is on

150
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,400
everybody's radar in the NFL so
there's still potential there

151
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,900
for him to make a splash later
on on that front.

152
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,500
It absolutely.
That's the big key.

153
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,400
Its eyes are on him.
They get national attention.

154
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,200
They're not getting out there on
deepest, you know, ESPN3

155
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,000
Channel, you can come forward.
So, you know, they play for big

156
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400
games, then Illinois does.
It's true.

157
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,400
It's very true.
And obviously, you will probably

158
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,100
have had to look at their
schedule for next year, but, um,

159
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,500
probably going to have the
potential to, you know, play

160
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:34,800
some sort of big school right
out of the gate.

161
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,900
And let me see if I can find it
here.

162
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:39,900
It's one of those things.
Yep, I'm going to effort it,

163
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:43,400
guys.
If you're tuning 4914.

164
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:49,900
Well, they're playing a spring
season so can we get 20 21 Fall?

165
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,500
Yeah, because I don't think he's
going to be playing.

166
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,100
I don't think he's eligible to
play in the spring season.

167
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,500
If I read everything correctly
about that because of how many

168
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:06,300
snaps he played in, 2024 us look
in here.

169
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,000
Probably wasn't, it wasn't
enough stamps for my

170
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,800
satisfaction either.
So he's kind of big laughs

171
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600
greatest thing there.
But Actually no big game for

172
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,800
them next year.
So, yeah, another guy that

173
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,700
moved.
It was moving on Darryl, Simmons

174
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:25,400
committed to Stephen F, Austin.
Just a couple days ago.

175
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:30,000
Good for him as well.
Big body guy. 62 wish he would

176
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800
have hung around feel like they
could have used him, but I think

177
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
he's to a point now.
Where if guys aren't seeing

178
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,400
themselves, they're they're
going to move on because you got

179
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,000
to have tape.
You can you've got to have tape

180
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
and, you know, they're going.
To a pretty decent school.

181
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,300
I mean they've Stephen of also
went six and for this year and

182
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,600
you know can I ask you something
though buddy.

183
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:58,600
Yeah we have had a lot of wide
receiver recruits that it was

184
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,700
transferred out of the program.
It's true.

185
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000
Is some of the problem.
The fact that we're not when

186
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,800
these guys are getting on the
field, we're not doing a good

187
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800
job of getting them.
Any sort of targets or anything

188
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,900
like that.
I feel like like, when we got,

189
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,500
The Usual Suspects on the field.
They get, I mean, they're still

190
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,300
under targeted, but they're the
only ones getting the actual

191
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:27,400
Targets in the passing game.
It seemed like as soon as some

192
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,200
of the other guys came on the
field, whether was fairs, or

193
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,700
changa, or any of those other
guys.

194
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:36,300
Like we just either went
straight run or retargeting

195
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:39,700
tight ends or running backs when
they were in there.

196
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,900
I mean, it just it seemed like
we were getting opportunities

197
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:47,300
for guys that weren't named
Turner or Tavian Robinson, I

198
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:51,700
mean, That's what it was trying
to take a or Big Stone.

199
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:55,800
Yeah.
And all right, Brian.

200
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,500
We almost start cursing again
because yeah, we do.

201
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:04,900
Well, good, lord, it's it again.
It reflects upon What we're

202
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:09,200
doing on the offense and that's
where it's irritating and the

203
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,500
irritating piece to is in.
People highlighted this on

204
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:16,100
Twitter all we want to rotate
like six or seven wide receivers

205
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:20,500
will you don't and when you do
you don't do anything to get the

206
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,100
other guys, not named Trey or
teh involved in the offense.

207
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Some of these guys we've got to
go and yeah I don't fault them

208
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:09,500
for it but it is what it is and
you know again why is our logic.

209
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,100
We don't feel good about next
year.

210
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,800
There's another reason and we
are full Ford with no change.

211
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200
All right?
I don't know how to take deal

212
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,800
about this next news, okay,
because I love the guy's a

213
00:14:25,808 --> 00:14:31,200
player, but you're on Hewitt,
essentially not returning going

214
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,300
to give the NFL a shot, a you
lose the huge leader on the

215
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:41,300
defensive line.
A workout Warrior who obviously

216
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:47,000
gives 100% all the time.
Although he's undersized that

217
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,600
you know, 6-foot 1285 for what
we want to do now is a vocal

218
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,100
leader and a leader by example.
So I mean that those are good

219
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,900
guys to have on your roster.
Even if they're not your your

220
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,600
front line players.
And the fact that he was also

221
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,900
that to some degree that that's
going to hurt a little bit.

222
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:09,200
Now I do think based on On the
way, the system.

223
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Where, I mean, obviously, we're
full go with what we were doing

224
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,200
this year again, next year.
So, The further we get into that

225
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800
in the further, other players,
get into that his body type is

226
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,000
going to work himself out of
snaps, it's very true and I get

227
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,100
maybe if he's saying this is the
best my tape is going to look if

228
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,400
I'm going to take a shot at the
NFL and ends going to run with

229
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,200
that.
Exactly.

230
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,400
And then you kind of think next
year, one guy that you kind of

231
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:38,600
I'm not saying you were
impressed by but you were

232
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,200
intrigued and times how we play
was Josh food?

233
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Oh yeah.
All the food is only six foot.

234
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:48,600
The food was 305, he's huge.
You've got Crawford, his

235
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,700
300-pounder you get Cunningham
coming back next year, 300

236
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:55,900
pounder, you got Pollard,
Pollard under sized, but you've

237
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:58,800
got Kendricks who getting up
there and Kendrick is that guy

238
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,700
with that about 62 will have
height and width, the other guys

239
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:06,400
that we've recruited 63rd to
developer to 80s to.

240
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,500
So he's still, he's a load even
though if he's not quite that

241
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:14,800
300-pound range that you're
looking for, and I just feel

242
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,000
like those guys are going to
start creeping into Hewitt's

243
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,100
snaps this year and so that that
might be what the move is about,

244
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:27,200
but again you can't undersell
the the impact of his leadership

245
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,100
on that line.
So that's going to be the thing.

246
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,700
I think we missed the most and,
you know, a couple boneheaded

247
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:38,500
plays this year, but a whole
plays with his heart on his

248
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:43,500
sleeve workout Warrior, he's
always giving 110%.

249
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,300
So, Guys like that.
Definitely helped the morale in

250
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:49,500
the rest of the line.
So it's definitely going to be a

251
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:54,600
blow there, but in terms of just
on the field product, I feel

252
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,600
like it's going to be close to a
wash but definitely going to

253
00:16:58,608 --> 00:17:00,700
miss that leadership.
Absolutely.

254
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,500
All right, well let's get into
poly the along with the two

255
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:07,900
quarterbacks with Hendon.
Who's still out on the portal

256
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:15,300
and Quincy.
The two biggest named Players

257
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:21,500
high profile, High recruits for
stars, top 100, top to 47s

258
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,800
players.
Ryan Hudson, and duck master,

259
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,900
and by nose, or in the portal.
And me and Brian were talking a

260
00:17:30,908 --> 00:17:34,200
couple days before it happened
were texting back and forth, and

261
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,900
it's like, do you text me,
Brian?

262
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:45,000
It's like I keep hearing this,
and I don't want this, but Doug

263
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Master.
Start with him.

264
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:53,000
Yep, just couple days ago.
Commits to West Virginia.

265
00:17:54,900 --> 00:18:01,200
Fucking a, what the hell man?
Well first of all, I'm almost

266
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,000
say some.
It got us pissed because we're

267
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
where the age where West
Virginia to me, was the big

268
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,200
arrival than UVA?
It was it was more heated.

269
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:19,200
It was nasty at that point in
time in the 90s and late 90s

270
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200
early 2000s and they were good
we were fucking good.

271
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,500
We were burning shit and
starting rides and In Blacksburg

272
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:31,800
over this rivalry man, it was
fight because there I think

273
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,600
nowadays it's not what it was
but I think you might see some

274
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,500
heat because the Hokies early
September.

275
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:45,900
Go to Morgantown next year.
Yep, there's a little skin in

276
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:51,300
the game now to with this
transfer and you know, there was

277
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:55,500
hints here and there that you
know Nestor was Returning closer

278
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,200
to home for family things, but
then when you look at it

279
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:06,100
Blacksburg is closer.
So you know, if you just said he

280
00:19:06,108 --> 00:19:13,200
was heading to Marshall out of
been like okay okay the same

281
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,700
Marshall.
No.

282
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:21,500
So with that being said I'm not
really happy with this.

283
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:24,900
I mean I wish Nestor good luck
in his career.

284
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:29,100
I loved what he did here and I
hope he does well in his career.

285
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,100
But Yeah, there's definitely one
game.

286
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:37,400
I'm not cheering for him.
Oh no, not at all.

287
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:41,700
And you know again best of luck,
you know?

288
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:50,000
But for us older in the fan base
and obviously, Our Guest last

289
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,900
week is one of them with the,
you know, starting school in 04

290
00:19:53,900 --> 00:20:00,100
when it will still nasty.
We just, this is the one that we

291
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:02,500
just kind of grinding their
teeth that and just say, okay,

292
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,500
here's what I hope happens.
I hope you miss your block and

293
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,100
we crush your quarterback to
first time and he's out the

294
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:12,400
whole game.
And one of those dogs up front

295
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,500
starts yapping in his mouth.
Yeah, that happens.

296
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,800
All right, the second transfer
Braun, was Hudson, Hudson, did

297
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,900
go closer to home.
He went to Louisville.

298
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:29,400
It's in You know, it's in ACC, I
don't know the next time we'll

299
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,300
play them.
It took seven years to plan the

300
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:34,800
first time because he's a lot, a
lot of it'll be long and gone.

301
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,200
By the time I played Notre Dame
twice before he played

302
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,100
Louisville and it's hilarious.
Um, it kind of skin that he did

303
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:48,000
go to an ACC competitor
obviously, there were things

304
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,600
going on that we're not going to
touch here that fits a lot of

305
00:20:51,608 --> 00:20:53,400
hearsay.
It looks like a lot of back and

306
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,300
forth with things going on.
But we want some Much here Sammy

307
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:00,100
was all the time line.
It just we don't know how much

308
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:04,000
of that played into the decision
to leave.

309
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,100
Well, I mean, it was, it was
clear that, you know, hoffen in

310
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:12,100
Huds parents were beefing on the
timeline for updated, probably

311
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:14,700
off the timeline to if I who
knows.

312
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:19,200
But here's the thing and we're
going to hit the good news and

313
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,300
then get into a couple of things
but Brian What's going on there?

314
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,200
Nestor started this year Rygaard
heavy rotational player, when

315
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
when he wasn't starting that
they were moving him around a

316
00:21:32,008 --> 00:21:34,100
little bit.
When we had some guys out for

317
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:36,800
covid, had some guys out for
injuries, but I mean, he was on

318
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,300
the field most of the time and
Hudson was essentially, we were

319
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,300
thinking he could start at left
guard.

320
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:47,000
He could start at Center if not,
he's going to be the swing on

321
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,900
the inside because he can play
every position and the big Game.

322
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,200
Was that game where brought got
pulled?

323
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,200
It wasn't heard that went in.
It was horrid.

324
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,600
And we were just kind of like
well a brought my brows that

325
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,000
definitely raised some eyebrows
terrified.

326
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,100
How many Snaps are going to go
over top of the quarterback

327
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,400
quarterbacks head or he's going
to be a little slow out of his

328
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,300
stance there.
And we're going to end up with a

329
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:16,300
sack before.
Even really has a chance to go

330
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:20,700
through progressions.
I mean, we saw HUD place so much

331
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,700
as freshman.
Especially at center with some

332
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,400
of the other guys going down in
Hawaii.

333
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,900
Just being Hoyt, it was it's
really shocking to me.

334
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:34,900
That he wasn't the first guy off
the bench at the center position

335
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:41,700
and that he saw so little work
at guard, we thought with, you

336
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,900
know, with hopping in there
that, you know, HUD and Nestor

337
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,300
would kind of be 1A 1B It Right
Guard.

338
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:53,300
Cannon was was kind of Of just
the true number two there.

339
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,800
So I mean he does essentially
number three it.

340
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,700
Both the positions we thought
he'd be at least number two at

341
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,200
and it kind of begs.
The question of what's going on

342
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,300
inside that room.
Because, you know, something

343
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,300
something we talked about
before, we got on guys is a week

344
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:21,100
at, is this a coaching staff
right now that literally clears

345
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:25,100
the Board over here and says,
earn your spot versus, what

346
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:29,700
should probably be done of.
How do you say it?

347
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:32,600
Brian?
I mean, essentially write it in

348
00:23:32,608 --> 00:23:37,300
pencil, write it in dry erase.
I mean, you got guys that this

349
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:39,200
was your position at the end of
the year.

350
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,500
It's there, but I can easily
erase it if you don't, you know,

351
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:47,100
carry your damn water.
Versus saying, oh no, you got to

352
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:51,600
earn it again, where it's kind
of like that sort of irritating.

353
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:54,000
I mean, they built it with
quarterbacks every year, man.

354
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,800
I mean, I respect the idea
behind it, but what I don't

355
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,300
understand is that, like, I feel
like they're taking it to the

356
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:04,600
point where they're turning guys
off.

357
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,100
That feel like they've earned
their spot.

358
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,900
Seemingly, we are.
We are projecting that.

359
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:13,100
This is what's this is, this is
speculation.

360
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:17,800
But that's the way again.
That's the way the fan base is

361
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,000
reading it.
Yes, I feel like we're coming

362
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,300
from a typical fan perspective.
We're reading it from this way

363
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,100
and it seems to be turning the
players off.

364
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,900
In some way, the guys that for
whatever reason they feel like

365
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,500
there.
Competing against a ghost almost

366
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,500
every week.
I mean that can get frustrating

367
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:43,900
man, and you know that I'm not
trying to take anything away

368
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:46,800
from from Austin Cannon.
I mean, he's been a very solid

369
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,500
rotational player for us for the
past three seasons.

370
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:56,400
But I thought that Hudson would
have had a better shot at being

371
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,700
the number two at that guard
spot if we kept Nestor ago.

372
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:03,500
I mean I personally advocated
for going ahead, moving, Nestor

373
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:08,700
to tackle when when dare saw was
leaving and having Hudson, being

374
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:11,900
the starting Right Guard and I
mean that I was way off there

375
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:14,800
and I don't know if that's
necessarily something that you

376
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,100
know I missed the evaluation or
if you know things are just

377
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,300
weird and vice land sometimes.
Who knows, man?

378
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:29,000
No one does and you know why
Braun because no one talks but

379
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:31,200
let's move on.
We've got a couple more things

380
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,100
to hit.
Like we did get the Johnny

381
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:38,300
Jordan transfer out of Maryland.
The interior offensive linemen

382
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:44,400
which it hurts losing, Nestor.
It hurts losing HUD but you know

383
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:47,900
guys started quite a number of
games in his career.

384
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,000
Definitely doesn't have the
ceiling of those players but at

385
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,400
least we got something.
Yeah.

386
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,600
Yeah.
So I was, and I was describing

387
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
it with Curtis when we, when I
first saw it coming through.

388
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,300
I feel like he's a step down
from where Nestor was this

389
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:06,700
season, but probably baby a half
step up or a step up from what

390
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:10,100
Hudson would have potentially
put out in a 20/20 season.

391
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:17,600
Had he still been here?
So, Not, you know, a huge get

392
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,700
here, but at least something
that I think was kind of stopped

393
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:25,600
the the dam from breaking.
If you will look at some of his

394
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,800
tape saw he played in high
school.

395
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,500
He was a guard in high school so
he's been primarily a center for

396
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:33,400
Maryland, but he's played guard
in his career.

397
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,000
So that's possibly.
He would slide in a guard or it

398
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
could be a situation you know,
where we'd slide hop over to to,

399
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,500
Right Guard and let him play.
A center depending on their

400
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:47,200
comfort level there.
But decent, pick up for us.

401
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,400
We need to hit the portal a lot
more.

402
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,100
But that's a, that's a good
start.

403
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,900
But I mean begs the question
man.

404
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:59,000
Let's talk about some offensive
line depth in 2020 and offensive

405
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,700
line depth in 2021.
All right, Brian you ready?

406
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,700
Yep, offensive line depth 2021.
Starting five pretty nasty,

407
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:10,700
Christian Daris, all the
All-American.

408
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:15,300
Lettuce Smith who is getting
higher and higher talk.

409
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,400
I don't think he's got enough to
make it this year.

410
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,300
He puts another good Campaign
together.

411
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:23,700
Lettuce is going to be a guard
in the first five rounds of the

412
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:30,700
draft Hoffman, the tone Setter.
Nestor the second year

413
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,100
sophomore, who probably played
more, like you as a junior.

414
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:39,000
And then to new DES, On the
right side who had his ups and

415
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,100
downs.
Damn good, it really good.

416
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,600
At sealing The Edge there,
sometimes hit or miss and pass

417
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:53,900
Pro exactly what the backups of
Cannon, HUD Silas, who was, you

418
00:27:53,908 --> 00:27:57,200
know, had gotten some good time
that previous year and Boyd,

419
00:27:57,700 --> 00:28:00,600
even with snapping issue to
Castile, okay, its Center.

420
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,600
I mean, we were non deep, we
were none deep online where you

421
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:11,000
Like any combination like, okay,
we can, we can make things

422
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,500
happen.
Yeah.

423
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,200
Yeah.
You were nine deep.

424
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,600
You feel like, even if two, guys
go down, you're still able to

425
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,400
put out a competent line, the
line that you feel like you can

426
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,300
do something.
You know, a couple guys go down

427
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:31,600
past Pro gets a little spotty
but across the board still still

428
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,200
a pretty good line there. 20:21,
what we're looking at this year

429
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,300
We've got I'm going to, I'm
going to go ahead and say to

430
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:43,500
nude is going to slide over to
left.

431
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,300
Again could be wrong.
Yeah, but he did do and aerosols

432
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,000
did when Daris always out so
that I would assume.

433
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,300
That's what we're going to go
with Leslie.

434
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:57,300
Smith coming back left guard.
I'm going to stick with Brock

435
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:02,800
Hoffman at Center will put
Johnny Jordan as the penciled in

436
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:09,100
Right Guard for now and Silas
and she on the right tackle and

437
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:11,600
I feel good about that.
I feel like that's an offensive

438
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:18,100
line, not a dominant, but good
enough to be productive.

439
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,500
I think that's still a line
that's better than we had in

440
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:27,200
2018 and 2019, but not a, not a
line that you want to, you know,

441
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,900
get National publication.
Like we were getting most of

442
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:37,600
this season but next is where it
gets sort of with Jesse Hanson.

443
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:43,100
Parker Clements Caden, more and
potentially Austin can coming

444
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:48,800
back.
I mean, the guy that we think is

445
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,500
the, if guys you only got, you
know, playing experience, the in

446
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:56,500
started some games and he's had
really heavy rotational work.

447
00:29:56,500 --> 00:30:00,500
So, you know, you'd feel good
with Canon as kind of your swing

448
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:04,600
man at the both guard positions
there, but beyond that, it's

449
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,900
bunch of question marks.
We know, Caden is a road

450
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,500
Greater.
But we don't know how he'll hold

451
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:13,000
up and pass Pro.
Parker's got a good body for

452
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,900
past Pro, but I don't know if
he's kind of guidance kind of

453
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:19,700
filled in and knows the offense
well enough to where he's going

454
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,900
to be able to do a lot.
And I mean, Jesse Hansen is a

455
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,200
talented player, but I think
there's just still some question

456
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,600
marks there.
Hopefully, he's going to be a

457
00:30:28,608 --> 00:30:32,400
guy that's going to be more like
cannon that can kind of do a

458
00:30:32,408 --> 00:30:36,000
little bit of everything on the
interior, the line there to be

459
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,100
kind of that that safety valve.
Valve in the interior.

460
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,900
Well hence it has a to me,
handsome is a guy that has the

461
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:46,700
potential to step because of,
you know, you look at his body

462
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:52,700
type and when I say that, you
know, Hansen is the 65, he's 310

463
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:56,700
pounds.
He's at GOA that prototypical

464
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,600
tackle body type where, if
something can just is Click.

465
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:06,100
He would be an unbelievable
swing tackle, I think parking

466
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,800
for minutes.
Definitely got a little bit

467
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,800
more.
Seasoning little more weight

468
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,600
before he's there.
But who knows our regular

469
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,900
offseason.
You don't know what can click.

470
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:24,900
But essentially, I think we're
going from an A, to, I'll give

471
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:27,600
this c-plus for the whip
looking.

472
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,600
We, if we're going to talk
portal, we definitely need to

473
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,000
hit at least one, tackle, bam,
right portal.

474
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,900
And some ways I think interior
we can mix and match especially

475
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:43,200
of cannons back.
But handsome being more of a

476
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,700
guard fit than a tackle fit.
Even though I think he might

477
00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:49,000
could play it, you definitely
need to go and get a tackle.

478
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,100
That's not a essentially
redshirt freshman as your as

479
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:57,100
your swing guy, it's true man.
But the whole thing is is we're

480
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:59,500
sitting here talking portal in
general.

481
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,900
We've gotten one interior
offensive lineman we did another

482
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:09,700
offensive lineman Wide receivers
the if he won because if we

483
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:12,700
actually pass the ball like we
did against UVA, you shall

484
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:15,100
change the Hajj become that
stick mover.

485
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,100
Yep.
We don't know what Evan fairs

486
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,700
can.
Do you feel great about traite

487
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:25,300
in Big Stone Gap runs, go ahead,
move, Blackshear to wide

488
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:29,800
receiver because we've brought
in 11 in the last two seasons.

489
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:31,900
No, Brian.
We're going to continue to put

490
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:34,600
him in the backfield.
He is not a spell back.

491
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:40,200
We have 10 running back, he
should be in that group behind

492
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,400
one of those guys that can work
outside and let taste light in

493
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,200
the slide.
If we go we go for wide.

494
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,200
If we need to sometimes man.
I'm just I'm sick and tired of

495
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,500
not getting guys with Talent
involved in the offense because

496
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,800
you're fucking hard-headed and
you made a decision and you have

497
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,200
to stick by that fucking
decision to make you look like a

498
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:14,900
big fucking genius.
Whoo for my just somebody poked

499
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:16,900
the Bear right there.
Sorry.

500
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:21,100
Sorry exactly.
But the whole piece is a kind of

501
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:25,700
broke with Brawn, other than
running back portal everywhere.

502
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:31,000
I mean, we need some defensive
Shackled up, we need some

503
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,700
defensive end up.
We need some on backward up.

504
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:38,900
If, with gone with Rook
officially gone, you got decks

505
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:41,300
and tis and kishan, but you need
at least one more.

506
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:47,400
You did, you know, Korra feels
okay, safety.

507
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:56,900
And I think we need safety help.
With why don't you feel like we

508
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,700
were kind of plugging in playing
it?

509
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:03,200
At one of the safety positions
and we just lost our best.

510
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,699
Safety is heading to the NFL
draft so we weren't solid at the

511
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,500
boundary safety all season and
our fries are free.

512
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:17,500
Safety is now heading to the NFL
so I would like to at least get

513
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:19,199
one safety.
That's got significant.

514
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:24,400
Playing time at playing safety.
Playing the position of safety.

515
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,199
Love you Taylor.
It was an awkward.

516
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:32,900
There you did okay in spots and
you had some some ugly times in

517
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:34,699
spots but I get it.
You were do what you're playing

518
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:38,000
out of position.
Most of the season so you get a

519
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,100
little bit of a pass for me
because of all the roster

520
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:46,000
choices we made and some other
unfortunate things happening

521
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,500
just before the season started.
It's very true and I've been you

522
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:55,100
got to kind of go out there by
the way folks, go Google and

523
00:34:55,100 --> 00:35:00,900
search 24/7 portal and go look
through that cluster heat.

524
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:06,600
Jesus, Lord, have mercy.
And it's going to grow into

525
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,500
going to grow easily the next
month.

526
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,700
So we'll probably have.
I feel like every episode that

527
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:14,900
we're on, we're telling me you
talking about either somebody in

528
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:18,100
the portal from Tech.
We picked up somebody somebody

529
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,700
who was in it, but now is back
home.

530
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:23,400
Everyone see Wild Wild West here
pretty soon guys.

531
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,100
I mean, as crazy as the kind of
the first round is has been

532
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:30,800
here.
I feel like we're going to see

533
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,000
probably another second round
either if it's not Sometime in

534
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
early January, it's going to be
some time as we get to Spring

535
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,800
ball and people start seeing
that they're further down the

536
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,300
depth chart than they thought.
They'd be exactly.

537
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:51,000
And that's going to be super
interesting bourbon something

538
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:59,100
fun to watch.
And, yeah, so, you know, All

539
00:35:59,107 --> 00:36:02,600
right, Brian after let's let's
just hit the pics.

540
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,700
Yep, we clearly had our blow
off.

541
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,500
Last week.
Yeah, that was that was us,

542
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,400
bringing you on a guy that
wanted to get stuff off his

543
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,700
chest and we were throwing in
with him.

544
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:21,400
I still and it's the third time
say I don't feel good about next

545
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,600
year I won't be completely wrong
everything.

546
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,500
It's no disrespect to the
players.

547
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:32,500
I want the players to to win.
I want the players to get

548
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:38,800
theirs, but we had the presser
we discussed that and I felt

549
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,400
okay?
But it's like what's going to

550
00:36:40,408 --> 00:36:44,000
happen next?
And that's going to be my issue.

551
00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:48,700
Because you can say it, you have
an opening presser or indices,

552
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:50,800
and pressure, and make things
sound like, oh, we're going to

553
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,800
do some changing but it's like,
what are you going to change,

554
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,400
though?
You get the big thing we need to

555
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,500
see is what are what are these
changes are?

556
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:04,100
There are they wholesale changes
with the way we're getting guys

557
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:06,100
involved in the offense is at
wholesale change.

558
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,500
I mean, I feel like on the
defensive side, a lot of its

559
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:13,300
just going to be reps and
actually Time to evaluate guys

560
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:15,300
at the positions that you need
to twist.

561
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,400
Not even that.
What about the opening of the

562
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,300
program?
Yeah, I'd like to see that too

563
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:25,000
because if you're, if we're
going to sit here and my thought

564
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,900
is probably potentially in
March, they're going to probably

565
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:32,600
start maybe letting the press
back in to some of those with a

566
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,000
price can be on site, Maybe.
But then, what are they giving?

567
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:41,200
If they have scrimmages, are
they allowing anyone in?

568
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,000
And I mean, they could still
say, well, covid, and they,

569
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600
essentially, they have a, they
have their Ace in the Hole this

570
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,800
year will code.
It can't can't let people in.

571
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,700
Scrimmages can't do this.
Can't do that.

572
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:56,100
Which is bullshit because it's
going to be, it's going to be

573
00:37:56,100 --> 00:38:03,100
the mo of the coaching staff.
He says, I want answered and,

574
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:06,200
you know, I don't know how you
say it, but I want.

575
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,400
You want somebody to ask?
All right.

576
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,800
What's the depth chart look like
And in somebody has grown and

577
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,600
say why.
So you're telling me that Brock

578
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:24,900
often has Learning Center Spot
Things like that because if, you

579
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:28,100
know, six months from now we
could be sitting here and we can

580
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:31,200
go through spring and all this
and we could be sitting here in

581
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,100
a Late July heading towards
Fourth of July, I normal Fourth

582
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:38,600
of July, hopefully it me and you
sitting here like what's the

583
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,000
difference run and you're going
to be like there is none.

584
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:46,300
Yeah, the followed nothing
through.

585
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
It's like, are we are we just
going to be sitting around with

586
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,600
the same leg?
Okay, well, we got this.

587
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:55,200
This roster, it's kind of the
same without a couple of the

588
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,800
better pieces that we had last
year and they didn't change

589
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,800
anything, and how they're
executing on the field.

590
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,200
They didn't change anything of
how they're making adjustments

591
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,800
in the game.
They didn't make any other sort

592
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,000
of changes.
They're not even giving us the

593
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,900
access that we want to, even
enjoy the things that, you know,

594
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:16,900
this team is offering, you know,
like, if we don't see something

595
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:20,800
something that we can grab whole
to and try to try to pull, I'm

596
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,700
positive that I mean people are
going to just stop fucking

597
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:25,800
coming.
Stop paying attention and it's

598
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,200
going to be sad and I'm I'm
hoping it doesn't get to that.

599
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,000
I'm hoping that something is
done.

600
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Whether it's on the field or off
the feel to get the fans engaged

601
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,100
in this program again because
that's going to be important

602
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,800
enough with with covid man.
Enough people have said, I don't

603
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,100
need this, unless you're giving
me a product that I care about

604
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,900
exactly the biggest gear.
Is going to go from anger to

605
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:54,300
apathy.
Yeah.

606
00:39:54,600 --> 00:40:00,700
And I'd say this, I think I
think people the first month of

607
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:04,200
the Season people might be
energized but you go out there

608
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,000
and you look shitty against
Middle Tennessee.

609
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,500
You look shitty against
Richmond, you lose to West

610
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:13,600
Virginia and you lose that
opening, ACC game it's going to

611
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:20,300
go to apathy and once the hits
Whip, if apathy hits, you better

612
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:25,100
fucking fire him.
Because there's going to be

613
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:27,100
somebody with a hell of a lot
more money and a hell of a lot

614
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:31,500
more pull than me and be like,
fuck, you get out and I mean, I

615
00:40:31,508 --> 00:40:34,100
know we said we wouldn't do this
but fire him midseason.

616
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:40,500
So we can get a jump on the
candidates because I feel like

617
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:45,500
we're going to need to secure
someone before things, get into

618
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:49,000
bowl season, and we start seeing
other firings at these bigger

619
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,400
programs.
And now we're getting, you know,

620
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,000
the trickle down coach.
And not the front line guy.

621
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Exactly.
All right.

622
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,800
Well let's let's jump and have a
little fun Brian.

623
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,100
Let's we have lined up.
Nine bowls, that are starting

624
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:07,900
tomorrow afternoon through the
second.

625
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:10,500
So we're going to do these in an
order.

626
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:13,200
We're definitely going to pick
the playoff games at the end.

627
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:16,300
We're not going to put them
where they should be because

628
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:18,100
that's the way I want to fucking
do it.

629
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:22,300
And why would we skip go to
those Bowls in the middle?

630
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:25,300
And then talk about Do
meaningless balls later.

631
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:27,800
Yeah, we're putting the, we're
prisoners shit that matters at

632
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,600
the end guys.
Yeah, exactly.

633
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,200
All right, let's start it
tomorrow.

634
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,600
Afternoon think it's a 230 kick
the cheese.

635
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:39,400
It bulb, which I'm very hungry.
Now, I'd like a big box of

636
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,200
cheese at right now.
Miami versus Oklahoma State.

637
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:45,600
This is pretty much a pickup
game.

638
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,500
Oklahoma State at last.
Look Lane one-and-a-half.

639
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:52,200
Ryan earlier this week, we got
the wonderful news that dear

640
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,200
king would be returning to To
Miami?

641
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:59,200
Yes.
Great news what I mean it could

642
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:05,400
be worse I guess.
Film the Miami front anyway, I

643
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,900
still like Miami in this game.
I think dear King takes care of

644
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:09,700
business.
I feel like him coming back is

645
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:14,600
kind of a good boost for them
and despite some of the other

646
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,800
things that you know with
opt-outs and all that other

647
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,600
stuff that you can't control, I
still like Miami here.

648
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,600
I feel like Oklahoma State is
Ben.

649
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,300
Kind of inconsistent this season
on the whole, even though they

650
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:33,600
fielded a pretty good squad.
So I'll take Miami here.

651
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:40,200
This is again, it's basically a
Pick'em game and obviously, you

652
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:47,100
know, It kind of feels dirty to
take Miami but you feel like

653
00:42:47,100 --> 00:42:52,600
with Oklahoma State I did
Hubbard opt out to 200 opt-out

654
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,500
that's kind of this is the way
I'm leaning right now to Hubbard

655
00:42:55,500 --> 00:43:00,600
opted out that I am probably
going to go with Miami as well.

656
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,900
Sorry, Ron, I'm everything to
his Twitter account to see if he

657
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:05,800
opted out.
Give me Miami.

658
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:09,900
I'll take the points because
that makes me feel like yep,

659
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,900
definitely.
I'll let You jot that down on

660
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:16,000
there?
Yep I mean another thing with

661
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:21,500
Miami I feel like they had their
shit, the bed game already I got

662
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:25,400
that out there, so hopefully
they'll show up this time.

663
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:28,500
Yeah, Miami.
Who if they beat you in C is

664
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:33,600
probably playing in the Orange
Bowl, like not having to leave

665
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,100
home or anything.
Exactly.

666
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:40,800
So they got their shit, the bed
game out of the way before the

667
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,100
bowl season.
Alright next let's look at the

668
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:49,400
Alamo Bowl Colorado and Texas.
No Texas was not back this year.

669
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,300
Tom Herman.
I'm trying to figure out how he

670
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:57,700
saved the job.
I'm guessing there was enough

671
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:03,100
variables with covid that they
are just riding one more year.

672
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,600
We're also Texas and they can do
whatever they want.

673
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,400
Yeah.
I mean, they've got the money to

674
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,500
both cover, his, whatever, his
buyout is, and buy out whatever

675
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:19,300
coach, they decide to hire.
So money's, not the question for

676
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:23,500
them, other than whatever the
Optics are of doing that with.

677
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,400
With people losing their jobs
and shit like that.

678
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,100
So, they are laying eight
against Colorado.

679
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:35,600
Colorado, first season under
Carl, Darrell foreign one only

680
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,000
game.
They lost was at the end of the

681
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,200
season, they obviously had quite
a few games, cancelled beat

682
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,400
Arizona.
Got a coach fired, San Diego,

683
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:52,100
State's always a solid team and
Stanford and UCLA, you know, or

684
00:44:52,100 --> 00:44:55,700
what they are.
That's going to be in Texas.

685
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,300
It just feels too big.
The way Texas played this year,

686
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,000
but on the other hand, Tommy
Herman, one game seems like he

687
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,300
always can get his nut up and
figure things out.

688
00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:11,500
I will lay the points.
Give me Texas.

689
00:45:11,900 --> 00:45:14,600
All right, I'm going to actually
go the other direction here.

690
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,200
I think Colorado.
Showed me enough.

691
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:24,200
Texas is really bad on defense.
I think I'll rattle be able to

692
00:45:24,207 --> 00:45:28,100
score and I think that that's
going to be enough to where

693
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:30,800
Texas has to squeak out a win
instead of having a comfortable

694
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,100
win at the end there.
So I'll take Colorado.

695
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:37,300
Got it.
All right, well Braun.

696
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,600
There comes a time when belt
becomes the Duke's Mayonnaise

697
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,700
Bowl.
I feel like this bowl is like

698
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:47,900
got Halifax written all over it,
man.

699
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:51,300
Like everyone from Halifax eats,
Duke's Mayonnaise on their

700
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:53,400
sandwich.
Everybody from Halifax shops

701
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,100
have belt.
It's the ultimate connection to

702
00:45:57,100 --> 00:46:00,100
our hometown.
And this year, it's Wake Forest

703
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:04,400
Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Land.
Seven and a half points.

704
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:11,600
Obviously, we saw weight this
year and That was the beginning

705
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,200
of our frustrations.
Because if we had just run the

706
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,400
right damn thing, we make wake
look a lot worse than they

707
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,900
actually are but we didn't, we
got stupid.

708
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:28,500
Yeah, in offense and y'all know
who are referring to.

709
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:31,000
In that case when you try to run
it, the edges of a team that

710
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,400
says the edges well versus the
inside, where their shit.

711
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,300
Oh sorry, we're picking the
Wisconsin game.

712
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,200
Give me what?
Wisconsin gonna blow the doors

713
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,900
off, Wake Forest.
I don't care if Wake Forest had

714
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:45,100
to drive two hours to Charlotte
to play this game.

715
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,900
Wisconsin, more Talent, better
quarterback, better run game

716
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,200
better defense.
I'm with you because honestly I

717
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:05,000
wait for is befuddles me just
across the board like, So, you

718
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,200
know, they lose a game to NC
State.

719
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,900
The beginning of the year on,
you went down to the wire then

720
00:47:11,900 --> 00:47:17,700
they closed the year by getting
blown out by Louisville and in

721
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:22,800
the middle there they beat us,
they beat Virginia and take you

722
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,900
and see the damn bring.
I don't know what this team is

723
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:27,600
anymore.
Like I thought I knew in the

724
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,700
middle of the season when we
played our game but I apparently

725
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:32,400
have no fucking idea who they
are.

726
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,500
So I Oh, in that case, I will
take Wisconsin.

727
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:38,500
Exactly.
I've seen Wisconsin blow people

728
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:42,600
out the, the losses were 23
pretty good teams.

729
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,900
So yeah, I think Wisconsin wins
Big on that one.

730
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:53,300
All right, Brian, let's get into
the New Year's 6 in an

731
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:58,300
intriguing matchup like one.
I'm actually looking forward to

732
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:03,100
watching is going to be on
Wednesday night.

733
00:48:03,500 --> 00:48:08,900
The Cotton Bowl with Florida
versus Oklahoma, this line flip

734
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,600
big, it is Oklahoma two and a
half.

735
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,700
Now just a few days ago it was
Florida like -4 so a six and a

736
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:18,000
half Point swing obviously for
it.

737
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,900
It's got quite a few opt-outs
going on, but will you feeling

738
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:25,400
on this one?
It would have been a no-brainer

739
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:31,000
for Florida before these
opt-outs but We had what just in

740
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:37,000
the last 24 48 Hours, several of
the key players for the Florida

741
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,400
have opted out.
So I'm going to take Oklahoma

742
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,700
here.
It mean it's pretty much a field

743
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:45,500
goal game here close to this as
close to a pickup as you can get

744
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:48,800
without being a pickle.
So I'll take Oklahoma.

745
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:53,300
Yeah you got to Darius Tony
opting out.

746
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:56,500
I'm trying to see if Kyle pits
his up and out marking Marco

747
00:48:56,500 --> 00:49:01,700
Wilson.
More receivers.

748
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:08,300
So I'm with you give me Oklahoma
just because I feel like

749
00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:12,100
Oklahoma is going to be able to
score on the Florida defense in

750
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:18,000
with Florida with more and more
people opting out by the day you

751
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
just gotta feel they're not
going to be able to keep up in

752
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,000
depth within yes the Florida had
Tony pits and Grimes all opt

753
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,200
out.
That's your Best receiving

754
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,400
Target into of your good
receivers, what about trash

755
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,400
because trash decided to opt out
yet or she going to and see

756
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:44,200
anything about Trask.
Well, he's kind of still playing

757
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:50,400
for the Marco Wilson were either
side of the ball, so yeah, yeah,

758
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,700
yeah.
So that me that makes Oklahoma

759
00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:56,700
kind of a no-brainer here.
But all right.

760
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:03,100
Let's go down to Atlanta next.
Braun and the Peach Bowl with

761
00:50:03,100 --> 00:50:08,900
the Georgia, Bulldogs and the
Cincinnati Bearcats, The

762
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:14,200
Undefeated Bearcats, AC
Champions with Luke fickle,

763
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,800
Marxist Freeman, at defensive
coordinator.

764
00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:21,000
I think they're looking for a
little respect in this game and

765
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:28,400
I think with the amount of time
they have to prepare And again,

766
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,300
I can't see Georgia blowing them
out.

767
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:34,800
I can't see Georgia, winning by
10 points.

768
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:40,600
I think it's going to be a
scrapper and when you have that

769
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,600
sort of game always go, dog.
So give me Sensi.

770
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:48,500
Give me the seven points.
I think they pull the upset out,

771
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:51,600
right?
I think it's going to be an

772
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:57,900
absolute War.
Going to be an absolute war on

773
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,700
New Year's Day at noon.
Before we get into the big

774
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:06,500
games, keep an eye on it.
Okay, I'm actually right there

775
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:10,700
with you, I'm not going out
right when but I think since he

776
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:13,500
is definitely looking for some
respect.

777
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,300
After all of this big-time
snubbing by the committee,

778
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:22,100
probably, at least having them.
At least probably two slots

779
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:25,200
lower than you would think they
should be based on.

780
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:26,200
Oh yeah.
What?

781
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,200
Some other teams have done.
Most, most people had him right

782
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,400
behind.
Am kind of right there at that

783
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,400
six spot and that's not what
happened.

784
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,700
So I feel like they're playing
for some respect.

785
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:42,300
They kind of got a little bit
more Of the roster that they're

786
00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:46,900
used to than maybe other does.
So I will go with Cynthia.

787
00:51:46,900 --> 00:51:49,700
I'm not going to go with the
outright win, but later Point.

788
00:51:49,700 --> 00:51:56,900
Yeah, next one is going to be
the Fiesta Bowl with organ and

789
00:51:56,900 --> 00:52:01,100
Iowa State.
Iowa, State Lane Four Points.

790
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:05,400
So Bryan we think on this one?
Oregon's going to outright win

791
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,700
this game.
Whoo, buddy.

792
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:15,600
I think it's going to be very
very close but and I mean the

793
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:20,000
line says that there, it's at
4:00 but I think Oregon is going

794
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,200
to squeak it out.
You think the war against weeks

795
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:30,500
it out here about the bowl game
last year?

796
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:36,900
Where a lot of people didn't
give them a chance but just one

797
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:39,900
of those things where Like it
seems like Mario crystal balls

798
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:43,200
are kind of guy when he gets
into a one-game situation.

799
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,400
He has very good.
This is how we're going to win

800
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,500
this game but he can control
long-term outcomes.

801
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:57,100
He does a very good job.
He does and so give me the 42.

802
00:52:57,100 --> 00:53:01,400
I'm with you, I think Oregon
wins this game outright and this

803
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,700
game is going to be on Saturday
afternoon at 4:00 so you know

804
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,100
get your beverages.
Popcorn, get ready for it.

805
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,100
All right, before we get too big
to Gaines.

806
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,600
Let's go to the Orange Bowl.
Excuse me.

807
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,800
Yes, the Orange Bowl on Saturday
night.

808
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:25,000
North Carolina, Texas A&M Texas,
A&M Lane, seven points.

809
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,800
Caroline has already had a few
guys already opted out.

810
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:32,900
I've got to say this is going to
be am big.

811
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,500
I think am pissed because I
think a medium says, we had a

812
00:53:37,508 --> 00:53:40,100
play band.
The second week in the season

813
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:45,100
they beat us by 28, Ohio
State's, played five games.

814
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:50,300
Why didn't we get in?
Well, they played six but they

815
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:53,100
shouldn't have played six
because the Big E Big Ten change

816
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:55,000
the rules.
They kept pinging rules.

817
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,800
And remember it was, it was six
when they look like it was, it

818
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,800
was 7, but then it went to six.
Yeah.

819
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,900
Like they were only going to get
Sarah, like they essentially

820
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,100
kept finding ways to make Ohio
State, the car.

821
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,000
France Champion, so I think
that's all they did.

822
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,100
They kept finding ways so that
Ohio state would be their

823
00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:16,400
conference Champion.
So they would have a chance of

824
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,600
having a team in the college
football, playoff and I don't

825
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,300
disrespect and for doing it.
It's still.

826
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:30,900
She is still very shitty.
So heating am give me am by

827
00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:35,200
three touchdowns.
I'm pretty much right there with

828
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,000
you.
I don't know if I'll take the

829
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,200
three touchdowns but I'll
definitely take more than the

830
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,900
seven especially since I don't
know what UNC team is going to

831
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:47,700
show up true.
Like if the defense that played

832
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:52,500
against us and against Wake
Forest shows up, it's going to

833
00:54:52,508 --> 00:54:55,500
be more than 21.
Yeah, exactly.

834
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:58,500
Exactly.
If you're giving up points to

835
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:02,200
the fifth in the 50s to a losing
team in those matchups, you

836
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,900
Definitely going to get your ass
ran against Texas A&M.

837
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:12,900
All right well let's go to the
playoffs man.

838
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:18,200
The Rose Bowl in.
Arlington, not Pasadena yeah,

839
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,300
Rose Bowl by way of Texas and
Texas.

840
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:31,100
I give them I give them credit.
For moving it.

841
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:36,500
Where fans Could come at least
at least the kids families could

842
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,500
show up.
So California, you're a bunch of

843
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:41,700
idiots.
If nothing else for that game

844
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:45,900
you should have said every
player coach.

845
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:53,600
Staff member can bring for
family members, 70,000 seat

846
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,200
Stadium.
You can't just spread some

847
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,600
motherfuckers out.
Like, let 1,000 in there and

848
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,800
spread them out, you know, Rose
Bowl the hell of a lot.

849
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,100
Bigger than that, man.
How big is the Rose?

850
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:07,400
Will I forget how big the Rose
Bowl has is hold on.

851
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,400
Say that again, 90,000.
So yeah, they could have done,

852
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,400
you can let, you can let a
thousand people in there and

853
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,400
spread their ass.
Up.

854
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:18,200
Yes, you can.
It's not that hard.

855
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,000
I dis is a big one.
This is Notre Dame.

856
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:25,400
This is Alabama historic
programs, which I feel like I

857
00:56:25,408 --> 00:56:27,500
don't know what meeting this is
for them.

858
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,100
I'm going to effort this real
quick.

859
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,800
They never really played Seven
Pounds.

860
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:38,400
Seven times, which is just
insane to think last time was

861
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,300
clearly 2013 in the BCS
championship game where family

862
00:56:42,300 --> 00:56:45,500
blew their doors off.
Then eighty seven eighty six

863
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:46,900
eighty.
Yeah.

864
00:56:46,900 --> 00:56:51,000
They didn't play a single time
between 87 and the 2012.

865
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:56,300
National Championship game, only
three times in bowl games by

866
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:58,000
reason.
It's crazy.

867
00:56:59,300 --> 00:57:05,100
Bam has laying 19 Braun.
Were you thinking you know what

868
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:09,300
my head is saying?
Take bam in the points.

869
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:14,100
They've been playing fucking
lights out but I feel like this

870
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:18,700
was going to be tighter than
that 2012 match up while.

871
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:22,100
Yeah, we're going to see a
little more fight out of the

872
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:26,100
Irish.
I feel like there's some guys on

873
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:31,600
that team that are Playmakers
their big play, guys in the

874
00:57:31,607 --> 00:57:34,300
right circumstance.
So I think the Irish will keep

875
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:36,800
it closer than the 19's.
They give me the Irish there.

876
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,800
Yep.
And I'm going to go with you on

877
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,600
this.
And if the Irish were smart, and

878
00:57:42,607 --> 00:57:47,500
they didn't do this against
Clemson, they have the talent

879
00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:52,900
where they need to slow this
game to a fucking crawl.

880
00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:57,400
Yep.
I mean, literally Snap the ball

881
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,000
with two seconds on the clock.
Do not.

882
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,100
Try to pay play Pace without
them.

883
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:05,900
Don't do that.
And I hate to say this, I'm

884
00:58:05,900 --> 00:58:08,200
going to go back to our game
versus Clemson, this year.

885
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:13,300
Look how it worked, limited
possessions, you slow the game

886
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:14,700
down.
You went to some of your

887
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:16,200
strengths.
Yep.

888
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:21,600
And we were in that ball game
Notre Dame when that game

889
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,900
started here that couple
Saturdays ago, I'm like slow it

890
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:27,700
down and they're trying to sling
the ball on.

891
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:30,200
Like you're you're playing the
game.

892
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,000
You can run Chiron, Williams,
and Chris Tyree until they can't

893
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,900
run the ball anymore and uz and
book as your stick mover on

894
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:41,700
third down, that's it.
Slow steady, slow steady.

895
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,800
I'll take it because I think
Brian Kelly is a smart enough.

896
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,000
Coach can knows, that's his only
chance to win.

897
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,100
But by all means, if we're
sitting here on Friday afternoon

898
00:58:52,700 --> 00:58:54,800
and I'm seeing them go three and
out because they're trying to

899
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:59,700
sling the ball and be like, fuck
these.

900
00:58:59,700 --> 00:59:01,500
Meanwhile, that's all right,
Matt.

901
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:04,400
I think they'll bring a little
bit more faith than they did

902
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:05,800
against Clemson.
I think, I think they were

903
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,600
better game plan, especially
with the amount of time.

904
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,900
They had to prepare for it.
And I think they've seen what

905
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:13,300
can happen against Clemson and
they'll learn from that mistake

906
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:16,000
as well.
All right, well speaking of

907
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,500
Clemson, they are playing Ohio
State in the Sugar Bowl

908
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:24,600
Clemson's.
Lance, seven and a half points.

909
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Did you hear dabo's comment
about why he put Ohio State 11?

910
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:34,600
I heard it.
Well, the other teams had played

911
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,100
nine or more games and they have
with them.

912
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,900
All right Debo we got you we got
you you know you kind of

913
00:59:46,908 --> 00:59:49,400
backtracked while you put them
11 verses just saying.

914
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,100
Well I don't know if they're
good or not they ain't played

915
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:53,600
enough games.
That's all you had to say.

916
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:56,100
Yeah.
Not that the other teams have

917
00:59:56,100 --> 01:00:00,700
played a bunch of games but this
is obviously a rematch from last

918
01:00:00,700 --> 01:00:03,000
year that literally went down to
the wire.

919
01:00:04,900 --> 01:00:12,300
And the way I feel about it this
year is I do not think of Ohio

920
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:16,000
State is as good on defense as
they were last year.

921
01:00:17,500 --> 01:00:19,100
I think Thompson's better on
offense.

922
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:21,800
I think their line is better
than it was last year.

923
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,700
I think Lauren says when another
notch with the way that they're

924
01:00:25,700 --> 01:00:32,900
running that offense I can't I
see this is a 10 or 14 point

925
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:39,400
game somewhere like 40. 28:42,
31 going to be competitive, but

926
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,500
I think, Clemson pulls away too
late.

927
01:00:41,900 --> 01:00:45,100
We thing, I think, Ohio state
will have a leading this game.

928
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:47,900
I think they still lose by at
least 10 points.

929
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,700
Okay.
I think Ohio State might jump

930
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:57,200
out early and kind of have like
a 10-7 or a 14-7 lead somewhere

931
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,000
in the first or second quarter,
but I think Clemson's just going

932
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,500
to be too much across four
quarters eventually.

933
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,400
That offense is going to break
through get some points on the

934
01:01:07,408 --> 01:01:12,100
board.
I like Clemson's defense with I

935
01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:15,700
like Ohio State's defense and I
like Clemson's offense because

936
01:01:15,700 --> 01:01:20,100
it's more Dynamic than what Ohio
state is even though how to stay

937
01:01:20,100 --> 01:01:21,800
can definitely put some points
on the board.

938
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,500
So I'm going to I'm going to
take Clemson to cover their.

939
01:01:25,300 --> 01:01:28,200
Alrighty.
So there are our picks for the

940
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:34,300
next six days.
Looking forward to see how we do

941
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:36,400
now.
Brian, I'm scrolling through

942
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,800
here.
Is there anything else we are

943
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,500
missing?
I don't see anything of note pop

944
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:45,300
through, don't nobody else has
entered the transfer portal in

945
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:48,100
the hour.
We've been recording here so I

946
01:01:48,100 --> 01:01:49,400
think we're going to be all
right.

947
01:01:50,900 --> 01:01:55,100
We think I'm trying to see Jalen
