01:50.956 --> 01:52.277
And welcome back to the

01:52.377 --> 01:53.818
Boundary Corner podcast

01:53.878 --> 01:55.559
along with my partner Brian Siegler.

01:55.740 --> 01:57.461
I am Curtis Wilson and this

01:57.521 --> 01:58.822
episode is brought to you

01:58.902 --> 02:00.903
by Dr. Jeremy Counts down

02:00.943 --> 02:03.505
at the Main Street Pharmacy in Blacksburg,

02:03.565 --> 02:05.266
your friendly neighborhood pharmacy.

02:05.266 --> 02:08.729
301 South Main Street, Blacksburg,

02:08.869 --> 02:09.630
Virginia.

02:09.910 --> 02:10.270
Buddy,

02:10.570 --> 02:11.791
it's been a long time since it's

02:11.811 --> 02:12.692
been a two-man show.

02:13.152 --> 02:15.035
yeah man it's uh it's kind

02:15.075 --> 02:16.217
of weird seeing just me and

02:16.237 --> 02:17.479
you on this this picture

02:17.519 --> 02:19.402
here man it's been uh about

02:19.422 --> 02:22.707
a year this time uh in 2023

02:22.707 --> 02:24.269
when last time we went just

02:24.450 --> 02:25.551
uh me and you on the solo

02:25.571 --> 02:26.833
here 100 about a year ago

02:29.181 --> 02:35.486
Now, our other two guys, Tally and Shelton,

02:36.286 --> 02:36.927
out tonight.

02:37.067 --> 02:38.528
Shelton is knee-deep into

02:38.568 --> 02:40.469
the Hokies-BC game right now,

02:40.629 --> 02:42.090
writing an article for Key Play.

02:42.591 --> 02:42.991
Obviously,

02:43.031 --> 02:44.312
he'll bring some knowledge back

02:44.892 --> 02:45.773
when he comes with us.

02:45.993 --> 02:47.854
Tally's got some personal things going on.

02:48.975 --> 02:49.835
If you're not aware,

02:50.275 --> 02:52.596
Tally's son got injured in

02:52.616 --> 02:53.656
some basketball practice

02:53.996 --> 02:55.837
about a month and a half ago.

02:55.857 --> 02:58.517
They were finally getting that straight,

02:58.617 --> 02:59.338
getting cast off,

02:59.358 --> 03:00.458
so he's having to take care of him,

03:00.718 --> 03:01.478
which we completely

03:01.518 --> 03:03.058
understand being fathers ourselves.

03:03.559 --> 03:05.359
They both will be back very soon,

03:05.399 --> 03:06.419
and we definitely miss them

03:06.459 --> 03:08.940
tonight because we're a team here.

03:08.960 --> 03:09.100
Yeah.

03:10.523 --> 03:11.705
But, Brian,

03:11.725 --> 03:12.926
how's everything been going on your end?

03:12.946 --> 03:13.848
You got the game up.

03:13.948 --> 03:14.248
I mean,

03:14.288 --> 03:16.391
Toki's up five with right at six

03:16.431 --> 03:17.192
minutes left.

03:17.533 --> 03:19.555
Up six, Poteet makes a free throw.

03:20.697 --> 03:21.718
Yeah, I got the game on.

03:21.779 --> 03:23.100
I've been following a little bit here,

03:23.160 --> 03:23.421
you know,

03:24.963 --> 03:25.924
A lead's a lead, man.

03:25.964 --> 03:26.484
I'll take it.

03:27.004 --> 03:28.245
A lead's a lead.

03:28.365 --> 03:29.346
The way this team has kind

03:29.366 --> 03:30.507
of been up and down in the

03:30.547 --> 03:32.768
month of January in particular,

03:33.049 --> 03:34.009
I'll take a lead right now.

03:34.450 --> 03:36.671
Take a lead that is now seven points.

03:36.691 --> 03:38.592
So we'll be continuing to follow that,

03:38.632 --> 03:39.593
make little updates here

03:39.633 --> 03:41.094
throughout the episode.

03:41.514 --> 03:43.556
Got quite a few things to unload tonight.

03:43.656 --> 03:44.997
At the back half of the episode,

03:45.017 --> 03:46.438
we are going to reveal what

03:46.458 --> 03:47.859
we call the perfect schedule.

03:48.379 --> 03:48.599
Yes,

03:48.659 --> 03:50.420
we know some things got leaked today

03:50.460 --> 03:51.961
and some things were put out there,

03:52.121 --> 03:53.802
but we still had our

03:53.842 --> 03:54.923
perfect schedules the way

03:54.943 --> 03:55.983
we felt would be the best

03:56.003 --> 03:57.424
for the Hokies in 2024.

03:57.424 --> 03:59.005
We're going to discuss that.

03:59.725 --> 04:00.886
And we're also going to be

04:00.926 --> 04:02.727
discussing the early enrollees.

04:02.807 --> 04:04.908
There were nine of this 2024

04:04.908 --> 04:06.089
class already on campus,

04:06.209 --> 04:07.350
already in winter workouts,

04:07.770 --> 04:08.711
kind of taking a look at

04:08.751 --> 04:10.472
those guys and seeing potentially.

04:11.212 --> 04:12.132
Who can make impact?

04:12.192 --> 04:12.732
Special team.

04:12.752 --> 04:14.253
Is anybody going to need to sit a year?

04:14.733 --> 04:17.713
But, Brian, this afternoon, man, I mean,

04:18.594 --> 04:19.434
you talk about,

04:19.454 --> 04:21.754
I don't know how to express it.

04:21.794 --> 04:23.755
Like, a guy,

04:23.815 --> 04:25.435
we were kids when he was playing.

04:26.955 --> 04:28.556
We've watched his, you know,

04:28.856 --> 04:30.196
own field as a coach.

04:30.956 --> 04:32.457
But what a pleasure it was

04:32.517 --> 04:33.857
this afternoon sitting with J.C.

04:33.877 --> 04:34.137
Price.

04:35.745 --> 04:36.145
Yeah, man,

04:36.225 --> 04:39.527
it was definitely kind of surreal, right?

04:40.548 --> 04:40.828
Yeah.

04:40.988 --> 04:42.089
That's probably the best way

04:43.350 --> 04:45.071
to describe it here, kind of surreal.

04:45.772 --> 04:48.373
Somebody that when we first

04:49.574 --> 04:52.756
got into following the Hokies, I mean,

04:52.776 --> 04:53.517
he was that guy.

04:54.537 --> 04:56.479
And as a guy that...

04:57.276 --> 05:00.539
was living in the trenches about that time,

05:00.639 --> 05:03.501
playing rec ball, starting to get,

05:03.521 --> 05:03.681
you know,

05:03.721 --> 05:05.082
looking at middle school football.

05:05.143 --> 05:05.403
Like,

05:05.423 --> 05:07.504
a guy like that was somebody that you

05:07.524 --> 05:08.405
kind of looked up to,

05:08.485 --> 05:10.347
and obviously with him

05:10.387 --> 05:11.408
being a GA in the early

05:11.428 --> 05:12.929
2000s and coming back to

05:12.949 --> 05:14.410
the Hokies a few years back, I mean,

05:14.430 --> 05:16.892
this is kind of a big full-circle moment,

05:16.932 --> 05:18.033
getting him on the podcast

05:18.093 --> 05:18.814
and being able to talk to

05:18.874 --> 05:21.976
him and kind of cut up a little bit, man,

05:21.996 --> 05:23.277
because he's a big personality,

05:23.317 --> 05:24.538
and he definitely lets that shine.

05:25.759 --> 05:27.281
He does let it shine.

05:27.621 --> 05:29.103
And we had him for about 30

05:29.103 --> 05:30.384
minutes this afternoon.

05:31.245 --> 05:32.526
He was up at a barbecue

05:32.566 --> 05:33.587
joint in northern Virginia

05:33.647 --> 05:34.728
or up in the D.C.,

05:34.768 --> 05:35.909
northern Virginia area

05:37.090 --> 05:38.031
traveling this week.

05:38.071 --> 05:40.193
So, Brian, without further ado,

05:41.654 --> 05:42.936
let's go ahead and let's

05:43.016 --> 05:44.577
play our interview with

05:44.737 --> 05:46.439
coach and Hokie legend J.C.

05:46.459 --> 05:46.919
Price.

05:48.672 --> 05:50.272
Boundary Corner Podcast listeners,

05:50.432 --> 05:51.833
today we have a very

05:51.893 --> 05:53.033
special guest with us.

05:53.633 --> 05:54.693
He is currently the

05:54.713 --> 05:55.914
defensive line coach for

05:55.994 --> 05:57.154
your Virginia Tech Hokies.

05:57.234 --> 05:59.975
He is a Hokie legend himself,

06:00.675 --> 06:02.975
playing from 1992 to 1995,

06:02.975 --> 06:04.096
where he was an All-American.

06:04.256 --> 06:06.376
He also is a holder of the lunch pail.

06:07.957 --> 06:09.437
Ladies and gentlemen, this is JC Price.

06:09.577 --> 06:10.077
Coach Price.

06:10.637 --> 06:11.557
Hey, how we doing?

06:12.878 --> 06:13.958
Hey, Coach, how we doing today?

06:14.522 --> 06:15.222
Doing great, man.

06:15.242 --> 06:15.742
Doing great.

06:17.863 --> 06:18.823
Where are you, Coach?

06:20.543 --> 06:23.384
I'm at like a barbecue joint here in D.C.

06:24.604 --> 06:25.444
Kind of rolled in here.

06:25.464 --> 06:27.145
I rolled in a little earlier

06:27.165 --> 06:27.765
than I thought.

06:27.785 --> 06:29.145
I didn't realize.

06:29.205 --> 06:30.245
I thought the ride from

06:30.265 --> 06:31.425
Raleigh would be a little bit longer,

06:31.826 --> 06:32.906
and I just stopped off,

06:32.946 --> 06:33.886
grabbed something to eat.

06:34.606 --> 06:36.126
Great spot.

06:37.047 --> 06:39.867
I'm not Quinn with the expert dining tips,

06:39.967 --> 06:42.428
but this place is pretty.

06:42.448 --> 06:43.428
The brisket was pretty good.

06:44.088 --> 06:44.448
Nice.

06:44.889 --> 06:46.530
And we can still bread hokey style there.

06:47.010 --> 06:47.951
That's what it's all about.

06:47.971 --> 06:48.811
Bread hokey style.

06:49.332 --> 06:50.032
Another question.

06:52.354 --> 06:52.894
All right, Coach.

06:52.934 --> 06:56.016
So I know you got a thin window here.

06:56.276 --> 06:57.177
You're on the road.

06:57.737 --> 06:58.858
You're doing a lot of

06:59.438 --> 07:00.899
talking to recruits this week.

07:00.939 --> 07:04.442
So where are you heading the

07:04.482 --> 07:05.622
rest of the week?

07:05.662 --> 07:06.583
What's kind of on your

07:06.603 --> 07:09.325
schedule and who are we looking at?

07:10.168 --> 07:12.630
Well, the week started off yesterday,

07:12.710 --> 07:15.511
or actually yesterday, in Raleigh.

07:15.852 --> 07:17.473
And basically right now, this week,

07:17.533 --> 07:18.513
I'm seeing D linemen.

07:18.813 --> 07:19.714
I'm seeing some D linemen

07:19.734 --> 07:21.715
that aren't in my primary

07:21.775 --> 07:22.536
recruiting area.

07:24.017 --> 07:26.518
So I was in Raleigh yesterday in Durham.

07:27.339 --> 07:28.640
Now I'm up here in D.C.,

07:28.740 --> 07:30.041
which I still recruit a

07:30.061 --> 07:31.521
little bit of Maryland,

07:31.722 --> 07:32.902
originally from Maryland.

07:32.922 --> 07:34.343
So me, E.B.,

07:34.623 --> 07:36.244
and Coach Pryor will be

07:36.264 --> 07:37.105
floating around the D.C.

07:37.245 --> 07:38.126
area tomorrow and

07:39.156 --> 07:41.737
a little bit on Thursday,

07:42.437 --> 07:43.897
and then I'll finish my

07:43.937 --> 07:45.258
week by driving up and

07:45.298 --> 07:46.958
seeing a young man up there in Jersey.

07:49.459 --> 07:50.939
You got to touch on the

07:51.019 --> 07:52.400
entire Mid-Atlantic, man,

07:52.600 --> 07:53.620
the entire Mid-Atlantic.

07:54.140 --> 07:55.301
I'm not sure if New Jersey

07:55.361 --> 07:57.361
is the furthest north of

07:57.381 --> 07:58.321
the footprint or not,

07:58.361 --> 07:59.782
but that's where I'll be going.

08:00.462 --> 08:02.022
That's still in the six-hour window,

08:02.082 --> 08:02.282
right?

08:02.743 --> 08:03.983
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

08:04.603 --> 08:06.805
In the footprint, let's talk about this.

08:07.005 --> 08:08.406
What has been the biggest

08:08.606 --> 08:10.327
key to success when it

08:10.407 --> 08:11.168
comes to recruiting,

08:11.208 --> 08:12.309
not only the high schoolers,

08:12.349 --> 08:15.231
but also the portal guys to Blacksburg?

08:15.291 --> 08:16.532
Because obviously we've seen

08:16.572 --> 08:17.713
a change in the last few

08:17.733 --> 08:20.154
years with you and other members.

08:20.595 --> 08:21.976
Then on top of that,

08:22.016 --> 08:24.517
you put us in a room of kids,

08:24.577 --> 08:25.578
and we're just ourselves.

08:25.858 --> 08:26.879
We try to show the kids who

08:26.899 --> 08:27.580
we are every day.

08:28.240 --> 08:29.601
We don't try to put on a

08:29.641 --> 08:31.062
false bravado or a front

08:31.142 --> 08:31.962
and try to be somebody

08:31.982 --> 08:32.563
we're not when they're

08:32.583 --> 08:34.163
there and be somebody

08:34.244 --> 08:35.464
different when they get on campus.

08:35.564 --> 08:36.605
We're just who we are.

08:36.645 --> 08:38.046
We're a group of guys who

08:38.626 --> 08:39.907
have the same common goals

08:40.007 --> 08:41.588
and enjoy being around each other,

08:41.648 --> 08:43.129
and Coach Pryor's put

08:43.169 --> 08:44.189
together a hell of a staff.

08:44.389 --> 08:47.451
It's a staff of like-minded people,

08:47.591 --> 08:50.313
and we have a good time every day.

08:52.354 --> 08:54.555
When you have fun every day at work,

08:54.575 --> 08:55.576
I don't know if you can call it work,

08:56.957 --> 08:58.118
Yeah,

08:58.238 --> 08:59.980
I love you saying that because you

09:00.000 --> 09:01.261
talk like-minded people and

09:01.281 --> 09:02.242
you are who you are.

09:02.262 --> 09:04.244
Because there are, like you said,

09:04.664 --> 09:05.625
who you are on the road is

09:05.645 --> 09:06.866
who you are in Blacksburg.

09:06.946 --> 09:09.488
And I love hearing that.

09:09.708 --> 09:10.549
And obviously,

09:10.870 --> 09:11.951
we know you are who you are

09:12.111 --> 09:13.232
because we were chopping it

09:13.292 --> 09:14.193
up with Coach Price for a

09:14.273 --> 09:15.714
few minutes before we hopped on.

09:15.794 --> 09:16.735
And y'all,

09:16.775 --> 09:18.817
this is who he is behind the scenes.

09:18.837 --> 09:19.878
This is who he is right up

09:19.938 --> 09:21.459
front in living color

09:21.479 --> 09:22.380
talking to us today.

09:23.574 --> 09:24.635
I tell people all the time,

09:24.655 --> 09:25.715
I'm too old to lie.

09:25.875 --> 09:27.816
I can't worry about that.

09:28.596 --> 09:30.057
Too old and too dumb to lie.

09:30.337 --> 09:33.118
Just go be yourself and just

09:33.218 --> 09:34.718
present Blacksburg for what it is.

09:35.159 --> 09:36.959
The greatest small college

09:36.999 --> 09:37.739
town in America.

09:39.360 --> 09:40.380
Absolutely.

09:40.621 --> 09:41.561
It's going to resonate with

09:41.601 --> 09:44.842
some kids and some kids it's not for.

09:44.982 --> 09:46.323
If it's not for you, that's okay.

09:46.503 --> 09:47.543
You only go to one school.

09:50.708 --> 09:50.888
Yep.

09:51.629 --> 09:52.670
And I mean, it's good hearing that.

09:52.690 --> 09:54.372
And I know you talked about, uh, you know,

09:54.392 --> 09:55.993
just being your, your authentic selves.

09:56.033 --> 09:57.114
And, you know, we, we had some,

09:57.595 --> 09:59.156
some feedback directly on that.

09:59.216 --> 10:02.579
We had, uh, uh, Keelan Adams dad on and,

10:02.820 --> 10:03.821
uh, um,

10:03.961 --> 10:05.622
Kyron drones dad on back before

10:05.662 --> 10:06.623
the holidays there.

10:06.643 --> 10:07.504
And yeah, that,

10:07.544 --> 10:08.385
that was the thing that

10:08.405 --> 10:09.806
they kept talking about

10:09.907 --> 10:12.029
throughout that episode was just how, uh,

10:12.549 --> 10:14.211
Personally, you guys aren't how you are,

10:14.231 --> 10:14.892
who you are,

10:15.012 --> 10:16.754
whether you're getting talked

10:16.774 --> 10:19.577
to outside of the recruiting cycle or,

10:19.697 --> 10:21.439
you know, whatever it is, you know,

10:21.459 --> 10:22.440
you guys have always been

10:22.460 --> 10:23.881
authentic the whole time.

10:23.901 --> 10:25.984
So I think that's that's big for sure.

10:26.284 --> 10:27.926
And that's definitely resonating.

10:28.906 --> 10:30.147
Let's flip it a little bit

10:30.167 --> 10:32.628
to more kind of current roster,

10:32.668 --> 10:33.468
upcoming roster.

10:34.129 --> 10:34.809
Last season,

10:35.269 --> 10:37.490
D-line helped the Hokies top

10:37.490 --> 10:39.151
15 in sacks in the country.

10:39.771 --> 10:41.191
You got Kendricks, Payne,

10:41.231 --> 10:42.192
and Pollard moving on

10:42.252 --> 10:43.272
obviously at this point,

10:43.372 --> 10:44.233
but you kind of turned to

10:44.253 --> 10:45.393
the portal into the junior

10:45.433 --> 10:47.634
college ranks and got three

10:47.674 --> 10:49.975
impressive folks coming in with Peebles,

10:49.995 --> 10:50.956
Gilliam, and Copeland.

10:51.736 --> 10:52.896
With those big holes to fill

10:52.916 --> 10:53.697
in the interior,

10:54.157 --> 10:55.417
what do you like most about

10:55.497 --> 10:56.438
each of those additions?

10:57.689 --> 10:59.071
You know, first thing is, you know,

10:59.111 --> 11:00.193
when you lose three

11:00.974 --> 11:02.256
valuable players who play, I mean,

11:02.296 --> 11:03.418
you think about Norell and

11:04.018 --> 11:05.080
Mario who played a lot of

11:05.100 --> 11:06.803
football and then just the

11:06.843 --> 11:08.004
impact that Phil Darius

11:08.044 --> 11:09.386
made in his one year of

11:09.486 --> 11:10.688
eligibility because he, you know,

11:10.728 --> 11:12.110
had set the year to 20 killings.

11:12.950 --> 11:13.110
You know,

11:13.130 --> 11:14.611
we looked and it was kind of a

11:14.631 --> 11:17.172
strange deal because you have guys,

11:18.033 --> 11:19.814
you know, that are within the pipeline.

11:19.894 --> 11:21.295
And we felt like, you know,

11:21.355 --> 11:22.395
I'm excited about those

11:22.435 --> 11:23.396
guys that are coming up.

11:23.996 --> 11:25.557
But all three of them had, you know,

11:25.577 --> 11:26.178
a major injury.

11:26.198 --> 11:27.338
They didn't get to practice a lot,

11:27.658 --> 11:27.999
you know.

11:28.079 --> 11:29.580
So we felt like their

11:29.600 --> 11:30.660
development was probably a

11:30.680 --> 11:31.821
little bit behind because

11:31.861 --> 11:33.182
they didn't get to practice much,

11:33.222 --> 11:33.602
you know.

11:33.682 --> 11:35.243
Gunner had the thumb, then the knee.

11:35.803 --> 11:36.744
Malachi had the knee.

11:37.564 --> 11:39.767
Lamar had the, you know, it was a back.

11:39.847 --> 11:41.169
It was just, you know,

11:41.209 --> 11:42.310
so it kind of stunted the

11:42.350 --> 11:42.991
growth a little bit.

11:43.011 --> 11:43.731
So we thought there was

11:43.772 --> 11:44.813
definitely a need to go out

11:44.833 --> 11:45.654
and get some guys who

11:45.674 --> 11:46.475
played a lot of ball.

11:46.835 --> 11:48.477
And how blessed are we to

11:48.497 --> 11:49.658
get an ES Peoples, man?

11:49.718 --> 11:51.661
I mean, you talk about a guy who can go.

11:52.301 --> 11:56.206
Proving player in the ACC, all conference.

11:56.286 --> 11:56.566
I mean...

11:57.407 --> 11:59.808
Golly, man, I pinched myself every day.

12:00.068 --> 12:00.828
I couldn't wait to get him

12:00.888 --> 12:02.069
on campus and lock him in.

12:02.129 --> 12:03.349
I just was pinching myself

12:03.409 --> 12:04.910
every day that way.

12:04.950 --> 12:06.070
Cheetah did a great job with

12:06.090 --> 12:07.591
the prior leadership with the family,

12:07.671 --> 12:09.151
and he helped recruit him

12:09.171 --> 12:10.171
to Duke to begin with.

12:11.192 --> 12:13.052
And there was pressure on

12:13.092 --> 12:14.033
him to return to Duke.

12:15.053 --> 12:17.475
And he stuck to his word, and man,

12:17.515 --> 12:20.297
he's on campus right now lighting it up.

12:20.757 --> 12:23.519
Kelvin Gillian, the Highland Springs guy.

12:23.539 --> 12:26.341
I couldn't actually recruit

12:26.361 --> 12:27.042
him when he came out

12:27.062 --> 12:28.083
because I was at Marshall,

12:28.123 --> 12:29.043
so he was a little bit out

12:29.063 --> 12:30.564
of my range when I was at Marshall.

12:31.772 --> 12:32.512
Little disappointed he

12:32.552 --> 12:33.773
didn't go to Tech to begin with,

12:33.853 --> 12:35.193
but he chose to go to Oklahoma.

12:35.273 --> 12:37.194
And I think it's gonna be a

12:37.554 --> 12:38.555
really good deal for him

12:38.615 --> 12:40.535
because we're gonna play a

12:40.555 --> 12:41.476
different style than they

12:41.496 --> 12:42.316
played to Oklahoma.

12:42.396 --> 12:42.956
I think it's gonna

12:42.976 --> 12:44.717
definitely fit his skill

12:44.737 --> 12:45.617
set a little bit more.

12:47.438 --> 12:48.619
Real excited to have him.

12:48.719 --> 12:51.060
And I mean, Kamari, I mean,

12:51.080 --> 12:52.341
what a story Kamari has.

12:52.682 --> 12:53.422
I mean, that guy,

12:54.082 --> 12:56.264
he was down there in 757

12:56.264 --> 12:57.144
Kellum High School,

12:57.905 --> 12:59.146
one of the best high school

12:59.166 --> 13:00.947
coaches in the 757.

13:00.947 --> 13:02.928
He's retired now, got in Chris DeWitt,

13:02.948 --> 13:04.009
a good friend of mine.

13:04.029 --> 13:06.451
I was at Marshall and we

13:06.471 --> 13:07.291
were recruiting and he was

13:07.311 --> 13:08.332
playing middle linebacker.

13:09.426 --> 13:09.966
And, of course,

13:10.406 --> 13:11.587
I was recruiting to be a D lineman.

13:11.627 --> 13:12.407
I didn't tell him I was

13:12.427 --> 13:14.308
recruiting to be a linebacker.

13:14.468 --> 13:17.909
But after I saw him run and then, you know,

13:18.009 --> 13:19.570
it didn't work out for us at Marshall.

13:19.830 --> 13:20.090
You know,

13:20.110 --> 13:21.270
he wanted a little bit more high

13:21.290 --> 13:22.070
academic side,

13:22.130 --> 13:23.331
so he ended up going to Army.

13:24.531 --> 13:26.492
And then didn't the army wasn't for him.

13:26.672 --> 13:28.252
And so then he went to the Juco,

13:28.292 --> 13:30.513
which shout out to the Iowa Western guys.

13:30.533 --> 13:31.373
You talk about junior

13:31.393 --> 13:32.473
colleges doing it right,

13:33.393 --> 13:34.554
holding guys accountable,

13:34.594 --> 13:36.534
not just taking any any time.

13:36.554 --> 13:38.335
Dick and Harry off the street, you know,

13:38.535 --> 13:39.355
vetting the guys,

13:39.395 --> 13:40.415
taking the right guys into

13:40.435 --> 13:41.976
the program and holding them accountable.

13:42.856 --> 13:43.876
Iowa Western needs to be a

13:43.896 --> 13:44.936
staple for our recruiting

13:44.976 --> 13:45.957
process every year.

13:45.997 --> 13:48.037
And Kamari fit that building

13:48.077 --> 13:49.978
with their their athletic ability, man.

13:50.118 --> 13:51.318
I'm really excited to have those guys.

13:53.257 --> 13:54.598
Man, that's great to hear.

13:54.778 --> 13:58.240
Yeah, the Aeneas Peoples one, obviously,

13:58.841 --> 14:00.682
we got to see him play in that bowl game.

14:00.942 --> 14:02.523
And then the last play of the bowl game,

14:02.603 --> 14:03.504
right, before Duke,

14:03.544 --> 14:04.525
which I think it's

14:04.585 --> 14:08.407
impressive and it says a lot about y'all.

14:08.768 --> 14:09.948
It wasn't any ill will, like,

14:10.129 --> 14:11.469
you want to go play with your old school?

14:11.490 --> 14:11.870
Go play.

14:12.370 --> 14:13.471
have a great time enjoy

14:13.511 --> 14:14.872
those perks he goes out

14:14.892 --> 14:16.213
there and balls including

14:16.233 --> 14:17.314
makes the basically the

14:17.354 --> 14:18.976
game winning tackle or game

14:18.996 --> 14:20.617
winning snack there and you

14:20.657 --> 14:22.859
just saw with him um you

14:22.899 --> 14:24.180
know gillian the copeland

14:24.200 --> 14:25.782
story is an amazing story

14:26.182 --> 14:27.303
and it also shows you that

14:27.363 --> 14:28.324
young man's work ethic

14:28.344 --> 14:29.385
right like he he didn't

14:29.425 --> 14:31.627
quit he didn't quit so many

14:31.667 --> 14:32.808
people would stop on that

14:33.288 --> 14:34.729
and um I want to kind of

14:34.769 --> 14:36.010
keep it in-house but keep

14:36.070 --> 14:36.851
worth that because how

14:36.911 --> 14:37.872
things are going but

14:39.352 --> 14:40.452
What returning player in

14:40.492 --> 14:42.493
your position room last year,

14:42.513 --> 14:43.833
that'll be back this year,

14:44.293 --> 14:45.474
showed the most growth from

14:45.514 --> 14:47.254
this point last year, winter workouts,

14:47.634 --> 14:49.215
until the bowl game at Tulane?

14:49.875 --> 14:51.995
Who took the biggest steps in your eyes,

14:52.015 --> 14:53.816
in whatever way?

14:55.536 --> 14:58.417
I'd probably have to say Cole Nelson.

14:59.363 --> 14:59.703
You know,

14:59.803 --> 15:02.485
I think Cole last couple years he

15:02.525 --> 15:03.745
had a foot that was

15:03.805 --> 15:06.647
bothering him and he was he

15:06.667 --> 15:07.948
was fighting through it and

15:08.668 --> 15:09.729
you know he didn't start to

15:09.789 --> 15:10.549
begin the season.

15:10.609 --> 15:12.170
You know Keishon Burgess had

15:12.190 --> 15:14.151
a hell of a camp and was

15:14.431 --> 15:15.572
penciled in as a starter

15:15.672 --> 15:17.633
and all cold did was keep working.

15:19.114 --> 15:20.975
And obviously he showed some

15:21.015 --> 15:22.255
things this year that he

15:22.295 --> 15:23.096
hadn't shown before.

15:23.116 --> 15:24.476
Some playmaking abilities that.

15:24.497 --> 15:27.078
That I asked him, you know, you know,

15:28.206 --> 15:29.887
He had to show those qualities.

15:30.107 --> 15:30.388
You know,

15:30.428 --> 15:32.009
he had been a steady Eddie guy

15:32.089 --> 15:32.769
and kind of a,

15:33.149 --> 15:34.630
I'm always going to be in the right place,

15:35.291 --> 15:36.712
but he wasn't making splash

15:36.772 --> 15:37.592
plays until this year.

15:37.632 --> 15:38.313
And I figured a little bit

15:38.333 --> 15:39.073
had to do with his foot

15:39.254 --> 15:40.214
getting a little bit better.

15:40.354 --> 15:42.536
And all of a sudden you saw

15:42.576 --> 15:43.677
his athletic ability,

15:43.697 --> 15:46.118
but Cole has the toughness

15:46.278 --> 15:49.320
in leadership that we desperately need.

15:49.400 --> 15:51.222
And he's done a great job already.

15:51.242 --> 15:53.063
You know, we haven't really seen the guys.

15:53.103 --> 15:53.703
That's what's crazy.

15:53.723 --> 15:54.984
You know, we get back,

15:55.084 --> 15:56.866
we get back from the bowl game.

15:57.666 --> 15:58.748
And we immediately go on the

15:58.788 --> 16:00.690
road and those guys start working out.

16:01.932 --> 16:03.934
And I know Cole has been in

16:04.034 --> 16:05.136
touch with me and let me

16:05.176 --> 16:06.237
know how things are going.

16:06.297 --> 16:07.739
And he's just become a great

16:07.799 --> 16:08.921
leader and a great player for us.

16:10.103 --> 16:11.644
Let me ask this, Coach Price,

16:11.684 --> 16:13.525
and how you guys deal with it.

16:13.545 --> 16:14.446
Because you mentioned Cole

16:14.466 --> 16:15.347
with the foot injury.

16:15.927 --> 16:17.748
When you know a guy is

16:17.808 --> 16:19.710
nicked up or a guy isn't quite right,

16:19.730 --> 16:21.130
you have the training staff.

16:22.051 --> 16:23.432
But how important is it

16:23.512 --> 16:24.553
having the relationship

16:24.593 --> 16:27.435
where they're willing to tell you, Coach,

16:27.735 --> 16:28.816
this isn't feeling right?

16:29.296 --> 16:30.597
Because obviously you're out

16:30.617 --> 16:31.237
there and you're having to

16:31.277 --> 16:33.799
make decisions of who's going to start,

16:33.819 --> 16:34.419
rotate,

16:34.700 --> 16:35.920
who's going to play my nickel sets,

16:35.960 --> 16:37.061
who's going to maybe play a

16:37.481 --> 16:38.802
three technique when we go

16:38.822 --> 16:39.643
with a small package.

16:41.161 --> 16:42.421
How important is it that

16:42.441 --> 16:43.802
they come to you laughing?

16:43.822 --> 16:44.502
Go ahead, coach.

16:47.442 --> 16:50.263
I mean,

16:50.383 --> 16:51.223
it's important that they

16:51.263 --> 16:53.484
communicate and it's important.

16:53.644 --> 16:54.424
I tell the guys,

16:55.004 --> 16:55.844
don't think being in the

16:55.884 --> 16:57.085
training room is a sign of weakness.

16:57.105 --> 16:58.285
That doesn't mean that you're weak.

16:58.305 --> 17:00.205
That means you preempt or you continue.

17:00.565 --> 17:01.606
Once something bothers you,

17:01.666 --> 17:02.346
it's going to bother you

17:02.366 --> 17:03.286
until the season's over.

17:04.242 --> 17:05.723
But the thing I always tell them,

17:05.823 --> 17:08.125
is this PG on this thing or is this?

17:08.205 --> 17:09.806
No, sir, you can let it ride.

17:10.907 --> 17:11.807
So what I tell them all the

17:11.847 --> 17:13.188
time is nobody gives a shit.

17:13.929 --> 17:15.950
If you play, you're not hurt, right?

17:15.970 --> 17:16.630
They're not gonna have the

17:16.730 --> 17:18.011
asterisks in the comments.

17:18.031 --> 17:19.052
The Hokies played today,

17:19.112 --> 17:20.433
but Colton Nelson wasn't feeling good.

17:20.853 --> 17:21.694
Nobody gives a shit.

17:22.094 --> 17:23.035
If you're on the field,

17:23.575 --> 17:24.616
you're expected to perform,

17:24.696 --> 17:25.336
expected to play.

17:25.376 --> 17:26.197
Now, if you're injured,

17:26.949 --> 17:28.090
then you can't play that's

17:28.130 --> 17:29.310
different but if you you

17:29.330 --> 17:30.651
know being hurt and

17:30.711 --> 17:31.692
fighting through injuries

17:32.232 --> 17:33.973
is a part of sports in

17:34.013 --> 17:34.973
general I have a daughter

17:34.993 --> 17:36.414
that's fighting through a a

17:36.434 --> 17:37.755
knee right now it's an 11th

17:37.795 --> 17:39.196
grader so it's just that's

17:39.216 --> 17:40.356
a part of the deal if you

17:40.396 --> 17:41.417
if you want to be a major

17:41.437 --> 17:43.058
college athlete then you

17:43.078 --> 17:43.738
gotta learn how to fight

17:43.778 --> 17:45.119
through but they always get

17:45.159 --> 17:46.120
on me oh it won't be in the

17:46.160 --> 17:47.240
paper that I'm playing

17:47.740 --> 17:48.981
there's no asking I'm not

17:49.001 --> 17:49.802
going to change the sport

17:49.822 --> 17:50.662
because cole wasn't feeling

17:50.682 --> 17:52.143
good today so that's why

17:52.403 --> 17:53.424
that's why I started laughing

17:54.622 --> 17:56.063
He only had two tackles,

17:56.103 --> 17:57.385
but he's got a knee that

17:57.425 --> 17:59.407
he's dealing with, so that's all right.

17:59.507 --> 18:00.648
So be easy on him.

18:00.688 --> 18:01.849
Nobody cares, man.

18:02.490 --> 18:03.190
Nobody cares.

18:05.174 --> 18:05.895
I told him I care.

18:05.915 --> 18:06.955
I care.

18:07.156 --> 18:08.216
But nobody else outside the

18:08.256 --> 18:08.877
building cares.

18:09.337 --> 18:11.699
Well, it happens so much with us as fans.

18:11.739 --> 18:13.921
If we see a guy not playing

18:13.961 --> 18:15.141
that great when they've

18:15.202 --> 18:16.923
exploded a few games before, it's like,

18:16.963 --> 18:17.543
hey, what's wrong?

18:17.563 --> 18:18.964
Did he tweak something?

18:20.045 --> 18:20.866
And it's like you said,

18:21.206 --> 18:22.647
they've got to fight through it.

18:22.727 --> 18:23.388
But if they're not

18:23.428 --> 18:25.509
communicating with what the issue is,

18:25.529 --> 18:27.694
like –

18:27.694 --> 18:28.374
I know that probably

18:28.434 --> 18:29.535
frustrates you when you see

18:29.555 --> 18:31.356
somebody not as explosive and you're like,

18:31.976 --> 18:32.296
listen.

18:32.336 --> 18:33.757
Well, I know why.

18:33.997 --> 18:35.038
You guys won't know why

18:35.058 --> 18:35.998
because we're not the NFL.

18:36.018 --> 18:37.839
We don't have to disclose our injuries.

18:38.059 --> 18:42.022
The NFL has to do it for all

18:42.042 --> 18:42.882
the gambling sites.

18:42.902 --> 18:44.323
They got to make sure who's

18:44.383 --> 18:45.303
playing everything.

18:46.124 --> 18:47.084
We try to keep those things

18:47.164 --> 18:48.925
in-house because we don't

18:48.945 --> 18:49.986
want to give our opponents a...

18:51.084 --> 18:52.485
an advantage because you

18:52.505 --> 18:53.346
know somebody's a little

18:53.366 --> 18:54.887
dinged up or or whatnot

18:54.907 --> 18:56.608
it's nobody's business but

18:56.708 --> 18:58.810
ours and it is frustrating

18:58.850 --> 18:59.831
sometimes when you see a

18:59.891 --> 19:01.492
guy really have two great

19:01.532 --> 19:02.392
weeks and all of a sudden

19:02.412 --> 19:03.353
he doesn't play up to his

19:03.473 --> 19:06.175
capabilities but that's all

19:06.215 --> 19:07.296
part of it you've got to be

19:07.336 --> 19:09.618
able to navigate that and work through it

19:10.259 --> 19:11.320
You got guys like me that go

19:11.360 --> 19:12.040
back and watch the tape.

19:12.080 --> 19:14.382
I was like, is he a little step slower?

19:14.422 --> 19:16.704
Is this like a matchup issue?

19:16.744 --> 19:17.545
What's happening here?

19:17.565 --> 19:18.505
Yeah.

19:18.926 --> 19:20.447
Coach Price gained 10 pounds this week.

19:20.487 --> 19:21.628
He's not coaching as well.

19:25.911 --> 19:26.331
Oh, God.

19:26.592 --> 19:27.492
Nobody cares, man.

19:27.532 --> 19:28.073
Nobody cares.

19:28.093 --> 19:28.873
That's right.

19:28.893 --> 19:29.494
That's right.

19:29.814 --> 19:31.615
You nailed that one.

19:31.635 --> 19:33.337
Let's turn it over a little bit here.

19:35.485 --> 19:36.646
So last season,

19:36.826 --> 19:39.208
Coach Prye came in and he

19:39.248 --> 19:40.189
kind of kept a good hold of

19:40.229 --> 19:41.950
the reins of the defense last year.

19:42.411 --> 19:43.552
And then that got fully

19:43.592 --> 19:45.613
handed over to Coach Marv in year two.

19:46.714 --> 19:47.615
What's the biggest,

19:48.256 --> 19:49.657
I'll say the non-tendency

19:49.937 --> 19:52.119
difference between Coach

19:52.159 --> 19:53.780
Prye and Coach Marv as a

19:53.800 --> 19:54.461
defensive coordinator?

19:55.467 --> 19:55.807
You know,

19:55.927 --> 19:58.569
Marv Marv was brought up under

19:58.629 --> 19:59.789
Coach Price to live and

19:59.809 --> 20:01.870
play for Coach Price, so there's not.

20:02.470 --> 20:03.691
There's not a lot of difference,

20:03.851 --> 20:06.552
maybe some third down stuff,

20:06.672 --> 20:08.753
but you know our first and

20:08.793 --> 20:10.474
second down calls are

20:10.514 --> 20:11.815
probably the same that

20:12.873 --> 20:14.354
that coach prize used his

20:14.394 --> 20:15.655
whole career and and don't

20:15.695 --> 20:16.715
get it wrong now he was in

20:16.775 --> 20:17.956
our meetings so don't don't

20:17.976 --> 20:18.877
think he wasn't in their

20:18.917 --> 20:19.837
voice of pain just because

20:19.877 --> 20:23.139
he wasn't calling it but uh

20:23.479 --> 20:25.080
you know marvelous he

20:25.120 --> 20:26.221
loosened the reins he

20:26.261 --> 20:27.942
didn't yeah they're not

20:27.982 --> 20:29.103
handing nothing over though

20:29.123 --> 20:33.606
he was in the meetings you

20:33.646 --> 20:35.006
know I i think we got

20:35.086 --> 20:37.328
better as as we simplified

20:37.408 --> 20:40.530
things as we eliminated some calls

20:40.990 --> 20:41.230
You know,

20:41.530 --> 20:42.351
the biggest difference between

20:42.371 --> 20:44.472
this year and last year, one,

20:45.093 --> 20:46.373
I did a better job coaching

20:46.393 --> 20:48.294
the D-line as far as

20:48.354 --> 20:49.375
getting off blocks and

20:49.695 --> 20:50.836
getting more of what Coach

20:50.916 --> 20:52.857
Pryor wanted to see out of us.

20:53.418 --> 20:54.338
And then, you know,

20:54.378 --> 20:55.379
last year we struggled

20:55.419 --> 20:56.139
playing man coverage,

20:56.159 --> 20:56.900
and this year we could.

20:57.780 --> 21:00.582
You know, and me, anytime Mars mentions,

21:00.602 --> 21:01.582
you know, what do you want to play?

21:01.703 --> 21:02.863
I want to play man coverage,

21:02.943 --> 21:04.364
and Gina wants to play man

21:04.404 --> 21:07.422
coverage because –

21:07.422 --> 21:08.583
Man coverage equals sacks.

21:08.783 --> 21:09.944
That's a mentality, right?

21:10.205 --> 21:11.386
That's a mentality.

21:11.706 --> 21:11.386
100%.

21:11.927 --> 21:12.948
So we were able to do that.

21:13.028 --> 21:13.328
Obviously,

21:13.348 --> 21:15.410
we had two of the best corners

21:15.450 --> 21:16.211
in the ACC.

21:16.291 --> 21:18.573
And what a testament to our

21:18.613 --> 21:21.096
staff and our culture to

21:21.116 --> 21:22.838
get all those guys back now.

21:22.858 --> 21:24.359
We're so excited to be going

21:24.379 --> 21:24.860
into next year.

21:26.104 --> 21:27.965
Was having a better feel for

21:28.165 --> 21:30.027
like personnel and, and that,

21:30.127 --> 21:31.067
that comfort level was,

21:31.107 --> 21:33.088
did that play any into that, uh,

21:33.609 --> 21:34.750
those decisions as well?

21:35.030 --> 21:36.230
Or was it just more of a,

21:36.311 --> 21:37.651
you got better and you were

21:37.671 --> 21:38.432
able to kind of lean on

21:38.472 --> 21:39.172
those things that you

21:39.192 --> 21:39.913
wanted to do more often?

21:40.691 --> 21:42.152
Well, I think anytime, you know,

21:43.093 --> 21:44.174
first of all, the first year,

21:44.394 --> 21:45.495
we still had some guys who

21:45.515 --> 21:46.335
were on the fence.

21:46.776 --> 21:47.316
Didn't really.

21:47.896 --> 21:49.598
So the first year you had guys who are,

21:49.618 --> 21:51.339
do I really want to buy in this culture?

21:51.939 --> 21:54.121
Do I really want to put in what we think,

21:54.181 --> 21:55.482
what we deem as necessary

21:55.502 --> 21:56.883
to go win a championship?

21:57.503 --> 21:58.844
And we still had guys that were...

21:59.744 --> 22:01.405
that were not bought in and

22:02.006 --> 22:03.086
and I would say we we had

22:03.166 --> 22:04.828
even more guys this year

22:04.868 --> 22:06.009
that than ever before that

22:06.049 --> 22:06.969
were bought into what we

22:06.989 --> 22:07.790
think what it takes

22:08.490 --> 22:10.091
necessary mentality and and

22:10.131 --> 22:11.112
those things it takes to

22:11.152 --> 22:12.233
win a championship and

22:12.833 --> 22:14.054
being selfless and being

22:14.094 --> 22:15.775
team first and all those things which

22:16.767 --> 22:18.588
You know, that led, you know,

22:18.608 --> 22:19.689
for us to stay together

22:19.749 --> 22:21.950
after a 1-3 start in 7-6,

22:22.030 --> 22:23.351
I think it's a testament

22:23.391 --> 22:24.552
not just to the coaching staff,

22:25.112 --> 22:25.813
but to the players,

22:26.393 --> 22:27.734
to the leadership on this team.

22:27.774 --> 22:28.014
You know,

22:28.054 --> 22:30.636
Narell Pollard coming back for

22:30.676 --> 22:32.377
another year, his COVID year,

22:32.477 --> 22:34.058
and what we talked to him about,

22:34.098 --> 22:35.559
don't come back and be the same guy.

22:36.199 --> 22:36.639
You know,

22:36.739 --> 22:38.841
leave a legacy mark of not just

22:38.881 --> 22:41.102
going to a bowl, but winning the bowl,

22:41.122 --> 22:42.563
because we hadn't done that in so long,

22:42.643 --> 22:45.145
and that's what he did, and that just...

22:46.628 --> 22:47.488
It was a lot of fun,

22:47.528 --> 22:48.649
but now we got to take the next step.

22:49.390 --> 22:50.451
Yeah, got to take the next step.

22:51.391 --> 22:52.032
Let me ask this,

22:52.052 --> 22:52.853
because you mentioned the

22:52.953 --> 22:53.673
one and three start,

22:53.693 --> 22:54.554
and then obviously the

22:54.614 --> 22:56.656
rebound in the last eight games,

22:56.696 --> 22:58.437
going five and three,

22:58.918 --> 22:59.758
keeping the Commonwealth

22:59.778 --> 23:00.719
Cup in Blacksburg.

23:00.999 --> 23:01.900
But I'm going to go back to

23:01.920 --> 23:04.883
the Syracuse game, because that night,

23:05.903 --> 23:07.705
your defensive line wreaked

23:08.045 --> 23:09.506
absolute havoc on them.

23:09.526 --> 23:09.687
Yeah.

23:10.725 --> 23:11.126
Well,

23:11.286 --> 23:12.730
tell me from like a sideline

23:12.750 --> 23:14.454
perspective when like all

23:14.494 --> 23:16.479
the practice that we every every,

23:16.800 --> 23:17.081
you know,

23:17.221 --> 23:19.066
every calls clicking everything

23:19.106 --> 23:20.208
you tell them they're doing.

23:21.431 --> 23:23.933
Like, is it slow-mo for you guys,

23:24.073 --> 23:26.014
or is it just so fast-paced it's like,

23:26.355 --> 23:27.896
bam, another sack,

23:28.156 --> 23:29.037
another tackle for loss?

23:30.418 --> 23:32.039
As a coach, you know,

23:32.119 --> 23:32.919
you have some of those

23:32.999 --> 23:33.980
nights where you roll out

23:34.000 --> 23:35.241
there and it's just your night,

23:36.142 --> 23:37.863
and that's kind of how that felt.

23:38.343 --> 23:39.704
Whatever Marv called,

23:39.744 --> 23:40.825
whatever I asked him to do,

23:40.845 --> 23:43.447
we were just rolling sevens and just –

23:43.447 --> 23:44.608
You know, you got to have those nights.

23:45.329 --> 23:46.030
And then you have nights

23:46.050 --> 23:47.591
where you're on the other side, you know,

23:47.651 --> 23:49.153
and no matter what you do,

23:49.253 --> 23:51.776
this doesn't seem to work.

23:51.876 --> 23:53.778
And it's definitely a lot

23:53.838 --> 23:54.559
more fun when you're

23:54.579 --> 23:55.340
rolling sevens on the

23:55.380 --> 23:56.601
sidelines than when you're not.

23:56.641 --> 23:58.363
So that was a fun night for sure.

24:01.010 --> 24:01.791
A hundred percent.

24:02.651 --> 24:04.593
And let me throw one.

24:04.633 --> 24:05.893
This is my throwback question.

24:05.913 --> 24:06.914
This is the only throwback

24:06.954 --> 24:08.455
question right now because

24:08.775 --> 24:09.716
you answer real good.

24:09.736 --> 24:12.278
I'm going to go back 1995

24:12.278 --> 24:14.319
after the Cincinnati lost their stories.

24:14.419 --> 24:15.240
We've talked with some of

24:15.280 --> 24:17.141
your teammates from 1995,

24:17.141 --> 24:19.303
Dwight Vick being one.

24:19.543 --> 24:20.884
Y'all called a players only meeting.

24:22.432 --> 24:24.394
Before the Miami game, you're 0-2.

24:25.175 --> 24:27.178
This isn't like 93-94 where

24:27.198 --> 24:28.860
Tech was riding and some

24:28.880 --> 24:29.821
bad stuff had happened.

24:30.302 --> 24:32.604
Can you divulge anything you

24:32.765 --> 24:34.587
or any of the captains or

24:34.627 --> 24:36.509
anyone said in that meeting

24:36.529 --> 24:38.051
that sparked that run

24:38.971 --> 24:40.312
From the Miami game,

24:40.652 --> 24:42.053
where the first time we beat them,

24:42.573 --> 24:44.254
to beating Texas in the Sugar Bowl,

24:44.954 --> 24:46.875
in New Orleans on New Year's Eve.

24:47.356 --> 24:50.537
Because, I mean, I think for me and Brian,

24:51.738 --> 24:52.639
I was 12 years old.

24:52.759 --> 24:53.579
That's kind of the first

24:53.599 --> 24:54.500
season I remember.

24:55.220 --> 24:57.081
I can remember pieces of that season.

24:58.202 --> 24:59.603
But what happened in that, I mean,

24:59.683 --> 25:01.304
if you can divulge, if you can, if it's .

25:01.304 --> 25:01.604
We get it.

25:04.165 --> 25:05.606
No, it was actually,

25:05.666 --> 25:07.088
we never really called it a

25:07.568 --> 25:08.389
players-only meeting.

25:08.769 --> 25:10.691
It was actually, you know,

25:10.711 --> 25:11.291
we used to go to those

25:11.331 --> 25:13.053
halftime locker rooms after the game,

25:13.073 --> 25:15.735
and we were in the locker

25:15.755 --> 25:17.137
room after the Cincinnati game.

25:18.157 --> 25:19.819
And I know I get a lot of

25:19.859 --> 25:21.420
credit for being a leader on that team,

25:21.460 --> 25:22.261
but the guy who really

25:22.301 --> 25:23.502
stood up was Jim Barron.

25:24.343 --> 25:26.945
Jim Barron said, we're done with this shit,

25:27.145 --> 25:28.467
and we're going to work harder.

25:28.947 --> 25:30.008
We're going to invest more.

25:30.632 --> 25:32.173
And if that means we don't win,

25:32.193 --> 25:32.734
that's one thing.

25:32.754 --> 25:33.775
But we're going to invest more.

25:33.835 --> 25:34.656
We're going to work harder.

25:34.676 --> 25:35.497
We're going to do more.

25:35.517 --> 25:37.338
We're just going to do more

25:37.739 --> 25:39.740
than anybody the rest of the year.

25:40.101 --> 25:41.142
And, you know,

25:41.222 --> 25:44.325
obviously there was more than him spoke.

25:44.525 --> 25:45.586
He was the first person that

25:45.606 --> 25:46.286
really stood up.

25:47.127 --> 25:48.849
And we all took his lead that day.

25:49.049 --> 25:50.270
And it wasn't a player that

25:50.290 --> 25:51.091
was in the locker room

25:51.191 --> 25:52.212
after the Cincinnati game,

25:52.292 --> 25:53.994
after that heartbreaking loss,

25:54.014 --> 25:54.594
16-0 in the mud.

25:56.705 --> 25:57.466
And that's what we did.

25:57.486 --> 25:58.926
And that's what we went out

25:59.187 --> 26:03.029
and the senior class just led by example.

26:03.209 --> 26:04.730
We went out and we outworked

26:04.790 --> 26:06.030
everybody from there on out

26:06.290 --> 26:08.452
and didn't miss anything

26:08.492 --> 26:09.712
and held guys accountable.

26:09.812 --> 26:12.814
And not to say we didn't

26:12.854 --> 26:14.735
feel like we were before,

26:15.816 --> 26:17.777
but we just turned it up a notch.

26:18.197 --> 26:20.138
And it didn't come easy.

26:20.158 --> 26:23.500
I mean, nobody remembers the schedule.

26:24.372 --> 26:25.353
They remember the score.

26:25.393 --> 26:27.374
They remember the wins, losses.

26:27.414 --> 26:28.335
Nobody remembers that we

26:28.515 --> 26:29.476
only beat Navy 14-0.

26:29.496 --> 26:31.437
They don't remember that we

26:31.457 --> 26:32.718
had to block two punts at

26:32.778 --> 26:34.920
Pitt to beat Pitt with a

26:34.960 --> 26:36.721
good running back, Billy West.

26:37.441 --> 26:38.542
So, you know,

26:39.163 --> 26:42.005
people remember the final record.

26:42.085 --> 26:43.426
They don't remember how you get there.

26:43.526 --> 26:44.466
It's all about scheduling.

26:45.928 --> 26:47.489
Now, one I do remember,

26:47.529 --> 26:48.750
I don't remember the other two.

26:49.290 --> 26:50.311
I do remember the UVA game.

26:51.127 --> 26:52.908
Because being down in

26:53.449 --> 26:54.569
everything that happened in

26:54.589 --> 26:56.370
the second half,

26:56.390 --> 26:57.351
there's always the stories.

26:57.371 --> 26:58.672
The Sugar Bowl officials are there.

26:58.712 --> 26:59.472
They're choosing one of

26:59.512 --> 27:01.454
these teams and we get down and

27:02.950 --> 27:04.151
Defense bows up in the

27:04.211 --> 27:05.473
second half that allows

27:05.693 --> 27:07.595
Druckenmiller and them to lead it back.

27:08.335 --> 27:09.757
I mean, again, I'm 12.

27:10.077 --> 27:11.679
I'm trying to go back into memory bank,

27:11.699 --> 27:11.999
right?

27:12.099 --> 27:14.241
I'm a middle school kid.

27:14.281 --> 27:15.863
When's the last time you watched that game,

27:15.903 --> 27:16.183
Curtis?

27:17.004 --> 27:17.985
To watch which game?

27:18.005 --> 27:18.705
The UVA game?

27:18.725 --> 27:20.928
It's been awesome to watch that one.

27:21.028 --> 27:21.388
I did.

27:21.468 --> 27:22.069
I'll say this.

27:22.449 --> 27:24.270
Rest in peace, hokey tapes, man.

27:24.370 --> 27:25.571
Rest in peace, hokey tapes.

27:25.811 --> 27:27.172
I do remember this, though.

27:27.752 --> 27:28.593
You were on the coaching

27:28.613 --> 27:29.793
staff for the first game I

27:29.853 --> 27:32.495
attended was UCF back in 2003.

27:32.495 --> 27:33.915
That was the first game I

27:33.956 --> 27:34.976
ever set foot in lane.

27:35.016 --> 27:36.977
I know you were a GA at that point.

27:37.397 --> 27:37.558
Like,

27:37.698 --> 27:39.058
that was a GA year where you still in

27:39.098 --> 27:40.902
high school in 03.

27:40.902 --> 27:42.363
All three hours of the year.

27:42.523 --> 27:43.063
You're a GA.

27:43.243 --> 27:44.503
So you were on the sidelines

27:44.543 --> 27:45.804
the first time I was there.

27:46.464 --> 27:48.405
I watched that game in full this year.

27:48.445 --> 27:49.365
I just went down a rabbit

27:49.405 --> 27:50.245
hole one night and just

27:50.265 --> 27:52.106
started watching it because, I mean,

27:52.126 --> 27:52.966
that is what it is.

27:53.186 --> 27:54.547
It's funny.

27:54.607 --> 27:57.368
You go back to the UVA game in 95,

27:57.368 --> 27:59.749
and everybody remembers certain things.

27:59.869 --> 28:01.949
And you can go back and watch the game,

28:02.409 --> 28:04.350
and you can call me back

28:04.390 --> 28:05.170
and tell me if I'm wrong or

28:05.190 --> 28:05.731
not because I haven't

28:05.771 --> 28:06.671
watched the game in a long time.

28:08.348 --> 28:10.109
I remember the best personal

28:10.169 --> 28:11.810
foul ever by George.

28:11.890 --> 28:13.471
Okay.

28:13.531 --> 28:13.771
Right.

28:13.791 --> 28:15.952
So they get in back then.

28:15.972 --> 28:16.473
I don't think it was

28:16.513 --> 28:17.793
automatic first down or something,

28:17.813 --> 28:19.894
but so he gets a personal foul.

28:20.075 --> 28:21.936
It's third in a mile.

28:22.376 --> 28:22.576
Yeah.

28:22.596 --> 28:24.157
It gets them like the fourth and one,

28:24.237 --> 28:25.197
instead of kicking the field goal,

28:25.237 --> 28:25.918
they go for,

28:26.038 --> 28:28.599
and we stop them like they

28:28.619 --> 28:29.620
were going to kick a field goal,

28:29.660 --> 28:30.740
but he did something stupid,

28:31.021 --> 28:31.921
something aggressive and

28:31.961 --> 28:32.862
they flagged him.

28:33.402 --> 28:34.522
And then we ended up stopping him.

28:34.743 --> 28:35.243
And then, uh,

28:35.879 --> 28:36.059
You know,

28:36.079 --> 28:37.680
people remember the Druckenmiller thing,

28:37.740 --> 28:40.262
but, you know, I would say I'm biased.

28:40.282 --> 28:41.103
Other than Bruce Smith,

28:41.163 --> 28:41.943
I still think Cornell

28:41.963 --> 28:43.544
Brown's the best player

28:43.584 --> 28:44.645
D-line that ever played at

28:44.665 --> 28:45.786
Virginia Tech other than Bruce.

28:46.546 --> 28:47.007
And literally,

28:47.027 --> 28:47.767
we're on the sideline

28:47.807 --> 28:48.788
together before that last

28:48.848 --> 28:49.768
drive that we got the ball

28:49.808 --> 28:50.689
back to the offense.

28:51.650 --> 28:52.570
And me and him were just like,

28:52.590 --> 28:53.571
so we got to go do something.

28:54.732 --> 28:56.053
And there was three plays in a row.

28:56.073 --> 28:58.014
I think he had a TFL.

28:58.074 --> 28:58.735
I had a sack.

28:58.795 --> 28:59.395
He had a sack,

28:59.455 --> 29:00.276
and he jogged off the field.

29:01.538 --> 29:03.440
And that's kind of, you know,

29:03.460 --> 29:04.140
you're going to have guys

29:04.160 --> 29:05.141
with that mentality that

29:05.181 --> 29:05.822
we're going to go out there

29:05.842 --> 29:06.903
and take it upon ourselves

29:07.623 --> 29:09.305
and not hope that somebody makes a play.

29:09.785 --> 29:10.946
We're going to go make a play.

29:10.966 --> 29:12.828
So that's what I remember the most,

29:13.268 --> 29:14.209
being trapped on the bottom

29:14.229 --> 29:14.889
of one of those piles.

29:14.909 --> 29:17.411
I thought I was going to suffocate.

29:17.972 --> 29:18.152
Man,

29:18.192 --> 29:19.553
being in the bottom of a pile is no

29:19.613 --> 29:20.194
fun at all.

29:20.694 --> 29:22.035
No, I want to give people hell.

29:22.055 --> 29:23.576
I thought I was going to suffocate.

29:23.596 --> 29:24.217
I really did, but...

29:25.180 --> 29:25.620
It was good.

29:25.640 --> 29:27.602
The first cigar in the first cigar rack.

29:27.682 --> 29:29.643
There we go.

29:29.663 --> 29:30.783
And you have made it a trend.

29:30.803 --> 29:33.725
I love the trend in that stadium, Coach.

29:34.626 --> 29:35.867
The worst part is the locker

29:35.907 --> 29:37.247
room was like a hookah bar

29:37.307 --> 29:38.128
after this year.

29:38.168 --> 29:39.449
We might be able to put the

29:39.489 --> 29:40.349
brakes on that thing.

29:40.910 --> 29:42.671
All cigar smoking needs to be outside.

29:42.711 --> 29:44.912
Then they'll turn the

29:44.932 --> 29:45.853
sprinklers on you again.

29:45.873 --> 29:47.013
Oh, yeah.

29:47.073 --> 29:49.155
That just made it so much better.

29:49.415 --> 29:50.555
I mean, I'm so glad they did.

29:50.595 --> 29:52.176
That just showed you how petty they were.

29:52.236 --> 29:52.917
It was just –

29:54.237 --> 29:56.038
That really made it even better.

29:56.218 --> 29:56.979
It really did.

29:57.019 --> 29:58.179
They really just took it.

29:58.980 --> 29:59.800
That just shows you what

29:59.840 --> 30:02.422
kind of rivalry it is.

30:02.482 --> 30:03.082
It was funny.

30:03.142 --> 30:04.743
I got a kick out of that.

30:04.823 --> 30:06.164
Honestly, I got a kick out of that.

30:08.405 --> 30:08.765
Well, Coach,

30:08.805 --> 30:09.786
we're going to close it out

30:09.806 --> 30:10.906
with this question here.

30:11.326 --> 30:11.927
You're sitting in a

30:11.987 --> 30:12.887
restaurant right now

30:12.927 --> 30:14.468
enjoying some barbecue in a D.C.

30:14.568 --> 30:14.888
area,

30:15.449 --> 30:16.929
but let's pull it back to Blacksburg.

30:17.129 --> 30:18.370
We always ask all the

30:18.410 --> 30:19.811
coaches and players that we have involved,

30:21.055 --> 30:22.197
What's the go-to spot at the

30:22.217 --> 30:23.198
Berg when you're going out,

30:23.258 --> 30:25.782
whether it's for beers, food,

30:25.822 --> 30:26.483
whatever it may be?

30:26.523 --> 30:27.385
What's your go-to spot?

30:28.890 --> 30:30.732
When I first came back, you know,

30:31.112 --> 30:32.153
and the family wasn't with me,

30:32.173 --> 30:33.294
I flipped the coin between

30:33.354 --> 30:34.394
McAdoo's and PK's.

30:35.315 --> 30:36.856
But I do find myself at

30:36.896 --> 30:38.337
BW3's quite a bit because I

30:38.357 --> 30:39.078
do think they have the

30:39.098 --> 30:40.119
coldest beer on tap.

30:40.839 --> 30:41.620
But it's PK's.

30:41.760 --> 30:43.461
It's PK's by far.

30:44.702 --> 30:45.723
If we're going to go out or

30:45.743 --> 30:47.264
we're going to have a few beers or,

30:47.444 --> 30:49.706
you know, get some dinner and stuff,

30:50.447 --> 30:51.007
I'm PK's.

30:51.027 --> 30:52.108
Shout out to Mike Whaley.

30:52.188 --> 30:53.049
He's a great dude,

30:53.109 --> 30:54.350
and we're close friends and

30:54.390 --> 30:56.351
have been that way since –

30:56.351 --> 30:57.612
since we were in college,

30:57.692 --> 30:58.832
and that's my go to spot,

30:58.872 --> 31:00.373
definitely is P.K.'s.

31:00.453 --> 31:02.053
Has Cheetah got you on the

31:02.073 --> 31:02.854
Cheetah wing kick?

31:03.374 --> 31:04.494
Or how's that going?

31:04.514 --> 31:04.835
Oh, yeah.

31:05.415 --> 31:06.655
It's so funny is that, you know,

31:07.856 --> 31:09.276
I refuse to get him just

31:09.316 --> 31:12.178
because he was bragging on him so much.

31:12.318 --> 31:13.318
I was like probably the last

31:13.378 --> 31:14.979
person to try him because I was like, no,

31:15.039 --> 31:15.319
I'm not.

31:15.759 --> 31:16.720
I wouldn't do that in spite.

31:16.740 --> 31:17.320
You know, I was like, no,

31:17.340 --> 31:17.900
I'm not doing it.

31:17.940 --> 31:18.820
I'm not eating those things

31:18.840 --> 31:19.881
just because you said they're good.

31:19.921 --> 31:20.441
You know,

31:20.501 --> 31:21.982
and they put them on the menu and

31:22.002 --> 31:22.942
that made me even want to

31:22.982 --> 31:23.783
boycott them even more.

31:25.503 --> 31:26.464
But then I did try it,

31:26.524 --> 31:28.365
and that's a staple.

31:28.725 --> 31:29.625
I don't get hot wings

31:29.645 --> 31:31.286
without the lemon pepper anymore.

31:31.306 --> 31:34.088
Cheetah wings, number one.

31:34.128 --> 31:35.808
Lemon pepper is always the way to go.

31:36.249 --> 31:37.469
As soon as I saw what was in it,

31:37.509 --> 31:38.190
I was like, oh, yeah,

31:38.230 --> 31:39.270
this is going to be a hit.

31:39.850 --> 31:41.451
Yeah, it was good.

31:41.511 --> 31:42.172
I'll give it to them.

31:43.052 --> 31:45.373
Well, Coach Price, you know,

31:45.413 --> 31:46.473
we really appreciate you

31:46.513 --> 31:47.973
taking 30 minutes of your day.

31:48.013 --> 31:49.614
We know how busy you are, you know,

31:49.714 --> 31:51.074
up and down the footprint.

31:52.595 --> 31:53.175
And, you know,

31:53.515 --> 31:54.455
thank you for everything

31:54.475 --> 31:57.456
that's been done because I go back to 21,

31:57.456 --> 31:57.856
Brian.

31:58.296 --> 31:58.756
And, Brian,

31:58.796 --> 31:59.737
I think when you were over at

31:59.757 --> 32:00.357
the house that day,

32:00.597 --> 32:03.078
when you said what you said

32:03.858 --> 32:06.078
after beating UVA,

32:06.619 --> 32:08.279
I think that went a long ways.

32:08.319 --> 32:10.019
And I think a lot of people, I think,

32:10.500 --> 32:11.280
for us, I think,

32:12.113 --> 32:12.453
You know,

32:13.354 --> 32:14.674
that was the beginning of the

32:14.754 --> 32:16.895
climbing out, in my opinion.

32:18.056 --> 32:18.956
I appreciate that.

32:19.376 --> 32:20.777
I really do because it

32:20.997 --> 32:22.078
showed how much this

32:22.158 --> 32:23.438
program meant to you.

32:23.979 --> 32:24.679
And for us,

32:25.019 --> 32:26.530
for people who have been fans 25,

32:26.530 --> 32:28.221
30 years, the alumni of the school,

32:28.961 --> 32:30.262
it showed, like,

32:30.782 --> 32:33.003
when this place gets the right people,

32:33.923 --> 32:34.504
it's dangerous.

32:34.524 --> 32:34.504
100%.

32:34.544 --> 32:34.504
100%. 100%.

32:38.058 --> 32:39.219
And my feeling, Brian,

32:39.279 --> 32:41.520
and Brian's not far – is right with me.

32:41.540 --> 32:42.320
I'm going to rubber stamp

32:42.340 --> 32:43.681
that one right away, man.

32:43.781 --> 32:46.043
It felt like the heart of

32:46.083 --> 32:47.083
the team had returned.

32:48.724 --> 32:50.445
Well, it was totally unrehearsed.

32:50.525 --> 32:52.286
I had no idea what I was going to say.

32:52.306 --> 32:53.887
So it just came out.

32:53.907 --> 32:54.888
It was from the heart,

32:55.108 --> 32:56.128
and that's how I feel.

32:56.188 --> 32:57.529
And, you know,

32:57.569 --> 32:59.410
my daughter – my daughter's

32:59.470 --> 33:00.531
a sophomore now at Tech,

33:00.611 --> 33:02.312
and that's just – that's an

33:02.372 --> 33:03.713
incredible feeling, you know,

33:03.773 --> 33:04.533
come full circle.

33:04.553 --> 33:06.214
All right.

33:06.701 --> 33:08.522
Well, Coach, you go finish up your meal.

33:08.562 --> 33:09.443
We're sure you're probably

33:09.463 --> 33:11.664
about to hit some – what's

33:11.684 --> 33:12.665
the name of the conference, Brian?

33:12.685 --> 33:13.305
I always forget it.

33:13.325 --> 33:14.106
I always screw it up.

33:14.506 --> 33:15.627
The conference up in D.C.

33:16.467 --> 33:16.548
Oh,

33:16.588 --> 33:17.988
I'm blanking now because you called me

33:18.049 --> 33:18.129
out.

33:18.149 --> 33:21.251
Oh, the WCAC.

33:21.371 --> 33:22.051
There we go.

33:22.431 --> 33:24.773
You go get all those WCAC

33:25.053 --> 33:26.994
schools in the next few hours here,

33:27.555 --> 33:28.716
visiting your D linemen.

33:28.776 --> 33:29.996
We appreciate you taking the

33:30.036 --> 33:31.658
time this afternoon to spend with us.

33:32.864 --> 33:33.604
Go Hokies, Coach.

33:34.084 --> 33:35.285
Well, I appreciate it.

33:35.305 --> 33:36.465
And the one we got coming,

33:36.485 --> 33:39.346
he wasn't allowed to enroll mid-year,

33:39.406 --> 33:41.907
but Emmitt Laws is going to be a beast.

33:43.067 --> 33:43.668
He showed it.

33:43.988 --> 33:45.528
He showed it in that game.

33:45.648 --> 33:46.349
I'm excited.

33:46.649 --> 33:47.769
I'm excited about that one.

33:48.569 --> 33:49.029
I am too.

33:50.690 --> 33:51.110
All right, Coach.

33:51.190 --> 33:52.030
Appreciate the time.

33:52.711 --> 33:53.251
Well, no worries.

33:53.271 --> 33:54.791
Appreciate you guys and anytime.

33:55.332 --> 33:55.692
Appreciate it.

33:55.712 --> 33:56.032
Have a good one.

33:56.052 --> 33:56.492
Take care, man.

34:01.772 --> 34:03.081
Was fire.

34:08.567 --> 34:09.868
Yeah,

34:10.408 --> 34:11.749
nothing but the heat from Coach Price

34:11.789 --> 34:12.169
there, man.

34:12.229 --> 34:12.970
He really brought it.

34:14.110 --> 34:15.231
I really – you know,

34:15.972 --> 34:17.172
you can tell he's speaking

34:17.232 --> 34:19.034
from the heart at all times, man.

34:19.594 --> 34:20.254
Like,

34:20.314 --> 34:21.755
everything just seems so authentic

34:21.895 --> 34:23.196
when it comes out of his mouth.

34:23.276 --> 34:25.638
And, you know, he spoke a lot of truth.

34:25.718 --> 34:25.898
I mean,

34:25.938 --> 34:27.539
talking about some of the guys that

34:27.579 --> 34:28.179
are coming in.

34:28.239 --> 34:29.200
And, yeah,

34:29.320 --> 34:31.101
I loved him talking about the

34:31.141 --> 34:32.662
feelings towards –

34:32.662 --> 34:32.882
You know,

34:32.922 --> 34:34.623
guys like Copeland and how

34:34.683 --> 34:36.004
excited he was that, you know,

34:36.024 --> 34:37.024
he got peoples in the boat

34:37.044 --> 34:37.945
and he stayed in the boat

34:37.985 --> 34:39.566
and got enrolled.

34:39.646 --> 34:41.287
I mean, just that whole thing, man,

34:41.327 --> 34:42.968
was really awesome to hear.

34:42.988 --> 34:44.689
Well, then here right at the end,

34:44.769 --> 34:46.010
and I was kind of uncompromised.

34:46.030 --> 34:47.330
We didn't we hadn't planned

34:47.350 --> 34:48.371
on mentioning the young guys.

34:48.771 --> 34:50.192
He's excited about Emmett Laws.

34:50.552 --> 34:51.472
Yeah, yeah.

34:51.832 --> 34:52.473
And, you know.

34:52.733 --> 34:54.353
He brought that up unprompted.

34:56.634 --> 34:57.254
I didn't think about

34:57.294 --> 34:58.235
mentioning anything with

34:58.255 --> 35:00.155
the young guys coming in,

35:00.195 --> 35:01.556
but he brought that unprompted.

35:01.616 --> 35:03.056
It tells you a lot right there.

35:03.917 --> 35:04.457
And he does.

35:05.157 --> 35:06.057
He loves the school,

35:06.117 --> 35:07.218
like Robbie said there.

35:08.498 --> 35:11.159
We appreciate it.

35:12.980 --> 35:14.360
I felt like we could have went another 35,

35:14.360 --> 35:14.980
45 minutes, another hour.

35:17.014 --> 35:17.515
Honestly,

35:17.755 --> 35:20.378
just talking with him back and forth.

35:20.899 --> 35:22.101
And it's funny how he

35:22.181 --> 35:24.403
recollected those plays.

35:25.128 --> 35:27.270
Because now I pulled up the

35:27.310 --> 35:28.411
game and started hitting it,

35:28.451 --> 35:29.432
and I had to find it.

35:29.512 --> 35:30.873
It was very late in the game.

35:30.973 --> 35:33.135
It wasn't the last defensive series.

35:33.155 --> 35:34.116
It was the next to last.

35:34.576 --> 35:37.739
He went off by much on where it was.

35:38.860 --> 35:40.161
He went off by where – he

35:40.241 --> 35:42.523
actually gave Cornell, I think,

35:42.543 --> 35:43.203
an extra bump because

35:43.243 --> 35:44.024
actually he had the tackle for loss.

35:44.044 --> 35:45.305
He had the tackle for loss.

35:45.945 --> 35:47.547
And then they had back-to-back sacks.

35:48.195 --> 35:49.677
And here they are right there.

35:49.777 --> 35:52.960
This is 1995 with exactly

35:52.980 --> 35:54.201
what Coach Price was talking about.

35:54.221 --> 35:55.182
We'll pull that up real quick.

35:55.262 --> 35:56.143
What a game.

35:56.483 --> 35:57.164
Thank you, John.

35:58.305 --> 36:00.027
Virginia trying to put this one away.

36:00.067 --> 36:02.349
They've got to get the ball going, though,

36:02.469 --> 36:03.830
as Crowe is taken down.

36:03.910 --> 36:04.811
And again, it's J.C.

36:04.871 --> 36:05.272
Price,

36:06.213 --> 36:08.074
who's made two big defensive plays

36:08.134 --> 36:08.435
in a row.

36:10.666 --> 36:11.006
J.C.

36:11.026 --> 36:12.567
just kept pushing, pushing inside.

36:12.627 --> 36:14.367
Mike Rowe stepped up and got

36:14.447 --> 36:16.268
into Bryce's arms,

36:16.328 --> 36:17.368
and he just kept going there,

36:17.428 --> 36:18.809
and that's a nice job by Bryce,

36:18.869 --> 36:19.709
pushing his way through.

36:19.949 --> 36:20.769
A reminder,

36:20.809 --> 36:21.910
there's more football coming up

36:21.950 --> 36:23.350
the second half of our doubleheader,

36:23.410 --> 36:25.271
Arkansas, LSU, and the SEC.

36:25.291 --> 36:26.331
Most of you watching this

36:26.391 --> 36:27.432
game will see the

36:27.472 --> 36:28.752
Northwestern-Purdue game as

36:28.792 --> 36:30.393
those Wildcats are having

36:30.533 --> 36:31.333
some kind of year.

36:31.913 --> 36:34.474
UCLA, USC, Colorado, Kansas State, Utah,

36:34.514 --> 36:34.854
BYU,

36:35.074 --> 36:37.255
all coming up next here on ABC Sports.

36:41.624 --> 36:42.947
Third down and 16 draw under

36:43.007 --> 36:45.030
pressure goes down again.

36:46.313 --> 36:48.777
George Delrico and Cornell Brown.

36:49.762 --> 36:51.143
Look at that dance.

36:51.163 --> 36:51.924
Look at that dance.

36:51.984 --> 36:53.245
And by the way, it's funny.

36:53.326 --> 36:54.186
And it's actually,

36:54.206 --> 36:55.387
it should have been noted.

36:55.428 --> 36:56.569
After Cornell makes the second,

36:56.609 --> 36:57.169
he picked him up.

36:57.209 --> 36:57.850
That's Jim Barron.

36:57.870 --> 36:58.170
Jim Barron,

36:58.190 --> 36:59.591
the individual that Coach

36:59.892 --> 37:00.592
Weissman completed.

37:00.612 --> 37:01.814
There he is right there, Jim Barron.

37:01.874 --> 37:02.474
That's Jim Barron.

37:14.185 --> 37:16.568
And it's awesome to see that.

37:16.688 --> 37:18.670
I probably am at some point.

37:18.690 --> 37:19.150
I don't know when.

37:19.170 --> 37:19.911
I'm probably going to watch

37:19.931 --> 37:21.052
that game beginning to end.

37:21.132 --> 37:23.434
It's been – it'll be 29 years.

37:23.474 --> 37:23.675
Yeah,

37:23.875 --> 37:25.877
you got to look at the best personal

37:25.917 --> 37:26.377
foul ever.

37:26.397 --> 37:27.038
You got to find that.

37:27.058 --> 37:27.839
You got to find that.

37:28.279 --> 37:29.961
Well, he said that was late in the game,

37:29.981 --> 37:31.062
and I went later in the game.

37:31.102 --> 37:32.123
And it took me like two

37:32.163 --> 37:33.044
minutes to find that,

37:33.084 --> 37:34.245
so it didn't take me any time.

37:34.305 --> 37:35.867
But, yeah, and I love –

37:37.088 --> 37:38.230
Chris Lester here mentioning

37:38.431 --> 37:39.333
about how excited they are

37:39.373 --> 37:41.096
about laws and Thomas.

37:41.116 --> 37:41.316
Yeah.

37:41.577 --> 37:42.819
The whole staff in general,

37:42.839 --> 37:43.841
he mentioned about that,

37:43.861 --> 37:45.364
how personal they are and everything.

37:45.384 --> 37:45.424
Um,

37:46.165 --> 37:47.206
They're a tight knit group.

37:47.246 --> 37:48.026
It sounds like too.

37:48.046 --> 37:49.647
So like they enjoy,

37:49.667 --> 37:51.007
I think they have a good

37:51.067 --> 37:53.388
energy that complimentary energy.

37:53.428 --> 37:55.109
They seem to bring kind of

37:55.129 --> 37:56.129
the best out of each other.

37:56.149 --> 37:56.990
So I think we're starting to

37:57.030 --> 37:58.230
see them gel as well.

37:58.270 --> 38:00.091
Like we saw the players gel on the field.

38:00.531 --> 38:01.472
They're starting to gel as a

38:01.512 --> 38:02.472
staff a little bit too.

38:02.492 --> 38:03.792
So that that's really good to see.

38:04.473 --> 38:04.813
Alrighty.

38:04.833 --> 38:07.214
I'm looking up here at the hoops game.

38:07.274 --> 38:10.235
Hokies up six under 16 minutes to go.

38:10.255 --> 38:10.295
Um,

38:13.078 --> 38:14.780
And well, here we go.

38:14.800 --> 38:16.121
I'm going to put this one up, Brian,

38:16.141 --> 38:16.902
because this is where we're

38:16.942 --> 38:17.622
going to next.

38:17.662 --> 38:18.623
We're going to talk about

38:18.723 --> 38:20.024
the early enrollees.

38:20.805 --> 38:21.486
And Brian,

38:21.506 --> 38:22.727
I'm going to let you answer this

38:22.787 --> 38:23.928
question Thomas put up here

38:23.968 --> 38:25.730
before we get into those guys.

38:26.090 --> 38:26.991
But some, you know,

38:27.011 --> 38:28.492
you played at the D3 level.

38:29.593 --> 38:31.295
But what is the importance

38:31.355 --> 38:34.558
for guys to get in early, you think?

38:36.983 --> 38:39.303
I think it's big and because

38:39.323 --> 38:39.884
there's going to be two

38:39.944 --> 38:40.804
things that you've got to

38:40.864 --> 38:42.464
do as you're coming on campus.

38:42.704 --> 38:43.684
That's going to be important.

38:43.704 --> 38:45.165
You got to you got to match

38:45.205 --> 38:47.725
the speed of the game that

38:47.745 --> 38:49.005
step up in competition

38:49.045 --> 38:50.426
level and you got to get

38:50.466 --> 38:52.686
your body physically ready

38:52.746 --> 38:53.846
to play against that level

38:53.866 --> 38:54.487
of competition.

38:55.507 --> 38:56.807
Getting in there in spring

38:56.847 --> 38:58.807
helps you do a lot of the

38:58.907 --> 39:01.228
first and a little bit of the second.

39:02.674 --> 39:03.495
So by doing that,

39:03.535 --> 39:04.175
you're going to get that

39:04.215 --> 39:05.737
type of head start against

39:05.777 --> 39:08.679
anybody else that's enrolling come fall.

39:08.879 --> 39:09.840
And that's even with guys

39:09.880 --> 39:10.901
that are working out with

39:11.241 --> 39:13.063
these personal trainers

39:13.103 --> 39:14.124
that are putting them

39:14.184 --> 39:15.585
through a collegiate level

39:16.225 --> 39:17.106
workout every day.

39:17.146 --> 39:18.367
There's only so much that

39:18.387 --> 39:19.768
you can do outside of that,

39:20.289 --> 39:21.170
especially with having

39:21.550 --> 39:23.011
teammates that are at that

39:23.091 --> 39:24.412
level pushing you every day.

39:24.472 --> 39:26.294
You don't have that, I think,

39:26.374 --> 39:28.996
outside of the –

39:28.996 --> 39:30.897
the workout room with your teammates.

39:31.117 --> 39:33.358
So the experience is

39:33.398 --> 39:34.419
invaluable in my opinion.

39:35.019 --> 39:36.420
Well, I agree with the body thing.

39:36.440 --> 39:38.461
I also, I think it's habitual, right?

39:38.801 --> 39:40.322
I think getting there early,

39:40.682 --> 39:41.483
you start building your

39:41.503 --> 39:43.944
habits of the workouts and,

39:44.383 --> 39:46.404
where I'm going to meals, how classes run,

39:46.764 --> 39:47.964
how I'm looking at film,

39:48.505 --> 39:49.365
when can I go meet with

39:49.405 --> 39:50.946
coaches versus the guys.

39:50.966 --> 39:52.286
And it's not knocking the

39:52.306 --> 39:53.046
guys who are getting there

39:53.086 --> 39:54.627
later that everybody has

39:54.667 --> 39:55.447
their own journey,

39:55.687 --> 39:56.448
but getting there and

39:56.468 --> 39:57.448
building that habit to

39:57.488 --> 39:59.629
where when fall camp rolls around,

39:59.809 --> 40:01.670
you know exactly what you're going to do,

40:01.730 --> 40:02.510
how you're going to do it.

40:02.950 --> 40:03.611
you're going to be very

40:03.671 --> 40:04.811
programmed to yourself.

40:05.252 --> 40:07.433
So all that going is we did

40:07.493 --> 40:08.834
have quite a few early

40:08.874 --> 40:09.934
enrollees and we want to

40:09.954 --> 40:12.236
look real quick here between me and Brian,

40:12.276 --> 40:13.236
who we think potential

40:13.377 --> 40:14.958
impact players in all phases,

40:16.418 --> 40:17.239
who we think are probably

40:17.279 --> 40:18.340
guaranteed to be on special

40:18.360 --> 40:19.560
teams and who might need a year,

40:19.640 --> 40:21.482
who might need to sit down

40:21.542 --> 40:24.023
a year and affectionately

40:24.063 --> 40:24.864
take a red shirt.

40:24.904 --> 40:26.505
You know, that's, you know,

40:27.045 --> 40:28.246
we could call Chris Coleman out.

40:28.306 --> 40:29.406
Chris Coleman would say red shirt,

40:29.486 --> 40:30.227
all of them, but yeah,

40:30.760 --> 40:32.261
We're not in that era anymore, Chris.

40:32.782 --> 40:33.802
Always be registered.

40:34.363 --> 40:34.903
So real quick,

40:35.443 --> 40:38.005
if y'all do not know what

40:38.365 --> 40:39.626
high school was enrolled early,

40:39.947 --> 40:41.628
let's start with Keelan Brody Adams.

40:41.668 --> 40:42.428
He's already there.

40:43.069 --> 40:43.969
Joshua Clark.

40:44.970 --> 40:46.031
Did you see what Joshua

40:46.071 --> 40:47.592
Clark did the other day, Brian,

40:47.812 --> 40:48.413
at practice?

40:49.306 --> 40:49.746
I did not.

40:49.766 --> 40:50.767
What did he do?

40:50.787 --> 40:52.428
He got part of the 20-mile-an-hour club.

40:52.448 --> 40:54.129
He got clock going 20 miles an hour.

40:54.149 --> 40:55.549
All right, so he's rolling up the gate.

40:55.709 --> 40:56.530
He's rolling up the gate.

40:56.710 --> 40:57.910
He's got that track speed.

40:58.491 --> 41:00.412
Track speed, and it's 6'2",

41:00.412 --> 41:01.772
180 already as a DB.

41:01.812 --> 41:02.633
He already has that

41:02.653 --> 41:03.553
potential to be built

41:03.813 --> 41:04.694
significantly bigger.

41:05.214 --> 41:06.775
Hey, let's go ahead and comment here.

41:06.835 --> 41:07.956
Jim's got it right, man.

41:09.536 --> 41:10.477
Touche.

41:10.517 --> 41:12.158
That is very, very, very true.

41:12.378 --> 41:12.818
Oh, man.

41:13.118 --> 41:14.339
Hit up Chris's too, man.

41:14.439 --> 41:15.620
Chris, we sorry, man.

41:15.760 --> 41:16.780
I know he's not at home,

41:16.860 --> 41:17.961
and he's up in Blacksburg.

41:18.621 --> 41:20.162
But you know it's a good thing.

41:20.202 --> 41:21.182
You know it's a good thing.

41:21.202 --> 41:22.502
You know it's a good thing, Chris.

41:22.843 --> 41:24.623
All right, we got Derek Dandy,

41:24.703 --> 41:26.204
the big defensive end out

41:26.244 --> 41:27.124
of North Carolina.

41:27.564 --> 41:31.766
Andrew Hanchuk, the Ohio State – excuse me,

41:31.826 --> 41:35.427
the Ohio native, the defensive tackle.

41:35.687 --> 41:36.888
757's on Gerard Johnson.

41:37.468 --> 41:38.848
Tyler Mason,

41:39.108 --> 41:41.009
Mr. Video Game Numbers running back.

41:41.809 --> 41:42.950
Quinn Reddish, safety.

41:43.817 --> 41:46.779
When ready, safety, Brian.

41:46.819 --> 41:48.680
Spoiler alert.

41:48.740 --> 41:53.002
Chance Wiggins and one of our favorite,

41:53.042 --> 41:53.883
we got to interview and

41:53.903 --> 41:55.704
talk with him last spring, Gabe Williams.

41:55.744 --> 42:00.367
So a lot of highly talented guys on there,

42:00.447 --> 42:00.807
Brian.

42:00.847 --> 42:02.608
So I'm going to kick it to you first.

42:04.069 --> 42:05.130
Who has the potential?

42:05.590 --> 42:06.530
Who has the potential?

42:06.570 --> 42:08.331
All phases.

42:08.351 --> 42:08.992
All phases.

42:11.983 --> 42:13.124
I think Quentin Reddish just

42:13.164 --> 42:14.225
because of the position

42:14.285 --> 42:17.247
need and him being really

42:17.307 --> 42:18.348
under the radar in terms of

42:18.388 --> 42:19.409
his skill set and what he's

42:19.429 --> 42:20.190
bringing to the table.

42:21.551 --> 42:24.413
Good height, good size coming in.

42:25.934 --> 42:28.216
You know, tackling machine,

42:29.117 --> 42:30.138
good in coverage.

42:30.618 --> 42:32.500
He's a guy that I think is

42:32.840 --> 42:35.082
poised to be at least in a

42:35.162 --> 42:37.804
rotational position in year one.

42:39.477 --> 42:39.877
All righty.

42:41.278 --> 42:42.718
Because you took him already,

42:42.838 --> 42:44.078
I'm going to take someone else.

42:45.179 --> 42:47.039
I think with the injury to Steven Gosnell,

42:47.059 --> 42:48.540
I think Brody Adams has a chance.

42:49.220 --> 42:50.640
Because of Adams' crisp

42:50.760 --> 42:51.961
outrunning ability already.

42:52.721 --> 42:53.701
Brody coming in 6'2", 185, he's –

42:56.397 --> 42:57.217
what 10 pounds,

42:57.758 --> 42:58.418
probably something he could

42:58.458 --> 42:59.439
gain over the next eight to

42:59.439 --> 43:01.460
10 weeks in this type of program.

43:01.960 --> 43:03.001
And we already know that

43:03.081 --> 43:04.101
it's the competition he

43:04.141 --> 43:05.742
played with down the seven, five.

43:05.822 --> 43:06.182
And again,

43:06.302 --> 43:08.964
I just think having someone and Brian,

43:08.984 --> 43:10.105
you talked about it when he,

43:11.267 --> 43:12.007
when he first committed,

43:12.708 --> 43:14.008
he is an elite route runner.

43:14.688 --> 43:16.009
And when you get guys like that,

43:16.089 --> 43:17.149
sometimes it's such an easy

43:17.189 --> 43:18.590
transition in him getting

43:18.630 --> 43:19.990
there early and everything.

43:21.431 --> 43:23.852
But my second would be

43:23.932 --> 43:24.752
Quentin Reddish because of

43:24.792 --> 43:25.652
the safety room.

43:26.933 --> 43:27.873
So, you know,

43:30.174 --> 43:31.294
it's going to be crazy to see

43:31.354 --> 43:32.935
which of these guys can.

43:34.055 --> 43:35.356
Are there other guys?

43:35.516 --> 43:35.996
I mean,

43:37.156 --> 43:38.757
there's a reason why two running

43:38.797 --> 43:39.317
backs left.

43:40.896 --> 43:41.496
There's a reason.

43:42.277 --> 43:44.319
Yeah, that was going to be kind of my,

43:44.359 --> 43:45.700
you know, you talked about Brody.

43:45.940 --> 43:47.041
Brody and Tyler are going to

43:47.061 --> 43:49.603
be kind of my 2A, 2B on that list.

43:51.464 --> 43:53.205
Brody for the same reasons you mentioned.

43:54.286 --> 43:56.288
And Tyler just because I

43:56.308 --> 43:56.948
think he's going to have

43:56.988 --> 43:57.729
some opportunity.

43:58.830 --> 44:00.531
And I think there's always

44:00.671 --> 44:03.413
room for a guy that has

44:03.453 --> 44:04.554
that type of production.

44:04.694 --> 44:06.295
You at least want to get him out there,

44:06.416 --> 44:07.797
see what he can do against

44:07.897 --> 44:09.258
the step-up in competition.

44:11.359 --> 44:13.400
You know, we talk about, you know,

44:13.701 --> 44:14.541
it's Mount Airy.

44:14.961 --> 44:16.142
The competition level was a

44:16.182 --> 44:16.862
little bit lower.

44:16.922 --> 44:17.543
But, I mean,

44:18.763 --> 44:20.564
you can't fake those type of numbers.

44:21.305 --> 44:22.345
No, you can't.

44:23.886 --> 44:24.507
I mean, 6,

44:24.507 --> 44:26.968
000 yards in his career in high school.

44:26.988 --> 44:30.290
13.1 a carry.

44:30.450 --> 44:34.452
My man's averaging a first

44:34.512 --> 44:36.513
down and change a carry.

44:36.533 --> 44:36.593
Wow.

44:39.275 --> 44:41.476
This is not a joke.

44:42.217 --> 44:43.097
But there is a reason.

44:43.137 --> 44:44.378
There is a reason now that

44:45.319 --> 44:47.180
he comes in and guys leave,

44:47.240 --> 44:48.641
and it's no disrespect to

44:48.661 --> 44:49.941
Chance Black or Bryce Duke,

44:50.041 --> 44:52.183
but there's something special about this.

44:52.263 --> 44:53.804
All right, let's flip it, Brian.

44:53.884 --> 44:55.665
Let's talk about special teamers.

44:57.546 --> 45:01.808
Who definitely – first of all,

45:01.828 --> 45:03.109
we've got a couple guys hidden here.

45:03.129 --> 45:04.330
We'll hit Coach Compton up.

45:04.730 --> 45:05.971
Talking about Tyler Mason.

45:09.339 --> 45:10.339
Different, different.

45:10.600 --> 45:12.221
But let's talk about who's

45:12.261 --> 45:13.042
definitely on the field

45:13.082 --> 45:14.923
special teams wise one way or the other.

45:15.604 --> 45:16.384
Yeah,

45:16.564 --> 45:18.246
that's a harder pick just because do

45:19.467 --> 45:21.028
you want to waste a year of

45:21.068 --> 45:22.209
a guy's eligibility

45:22.709 --> 45:24.230
primarily running special teams?

45:26.152 --> 45:27.253
In most cases, no.

45:27.393 --> 45:29.114
In most cases, I'm with Chris.

45:30.715 --> 45:32.277
We got to be red shirt in those cases.

45:35.499 --> 45:37.000
You know, looking at this list,

45:37.060 --> 45:37.641
if I had to...

45:39.172 --> 45:41.593
If I had to pick anybody, yeah,

45:45.555 --> 45:46.856
I could see a Joshua Clark

45:47.716 --> 45:49.757
with that speed getting on

45:49.777 --> 45:50.797
the field in some way that

45:50.817 --> 45:51.578
could be a contributing

45:51.618 --> 45:52.778
factor in special teams.

45:53.779 --> 45:53.999
Okay.

45:54.899 --> 45:55.960
That would probably be my

45:56.000 --> 45:56.860
top pick if we were going

45:56.880 --> 45:57.601
to do anything there.

45:58.081 --> 45:58.981
Well, that type of speed.

45:59.021 --> 45:59.982
I mean, you think Gunner,

46:00.022 --> 46:01.282
you think things like that.

46:01.923 --> 46:03.343
I'm going to give you my –

46:05.109 --> 46:06.170
I got a 1A, 1B.

46:07.010 --> 46:08.371
My 1A is Derek Dandy.

46:08.711 --> 46:10.492
I think just a guy that size,

46:11.353 --> 46:13.094
I immediately size in some

46:13.114 --> 46:14.075
of his athleticism,

46:14.135 --> 46:15.615
immediately kick returns,

46:16.316 --> 46:17.417
probably doing stuff on a

46:17.457 --> 46:18.977
punt block unit just

46:19.018 --> 46:19.998
because of his size and

46:20.038 --> 46:20.819
getting him on the field,

46:20.859 --> 46:22.360
getting engaged with bigger bodies,

46:22.420 --> 46:23.460
being on the defensive line.

46:24.121 --> 46:24.781
My second,

46:26.442 --> 46:27.543
and this is going to be what

46:27.583 --> 46:28.583
happens this spring,

46:28.923 --> 46:29.784
and it's going to be a

46:29.964 --> 46:30.865
close story to watch.

46:30.885 --> 46:31.805
We already talked about it

46:31.825 --> 46:32.866
with Quentin Reddish, right?

46:33.906 --> 46:34.627
Safety position.

46:35.859 --> 46:38.223
If Keonta Jenkins starts

46:38.283 --> 46:39.865
spending time in the safety room,

46:41.748 --> 46:42.649
Caleb Woodson's going to

46:42.670 --> 46:43.751
take over starting role.

46:44.012 --> 46:45.253
He showed he probably could do it.

46:45.834 --> 46:46.976
But then that gives Gabe

46:47.016 --> 46:48.879
Williams a chance to not

46:48.939 --> 46:50.842
only get valuable reps at

46:52.358 --> 46:53.459
where he is going to play

46:53.499 --> 46:54.260
and with his frame,

46:54.900 --> 46:56.301
most likely if he does what

46:56.321 --> 46:57.442
we think is going to happen,

46:57.462 --> 46:58.483
he's going to be at will,

46:58.843 --> 47:00.284
but getting on the field doesn't hurt.

47:00.624 --> 47:03.166
But again, Gabe's length, athleticism,

47:03.426 --> 47:05.528
putt block unit, kick return units,

47:05.608 --> 47:06.528
things like that.

47:07.749 --> 47:08.730
That's where I lean with

47:08.770 --> 47:11.892
those guys and sort of say, you know,

47:12.953 --> 47:14.694
guys who are 6'4", long arms,

47:16.138 --> 47:16.819
Those are the guys that

47:16.839 --> 47:18.120
somehow sneak through and

47:18.160 --> 47:18.860
get their hand up,

47:18.900 --> 47:19.681
and the next thing you know,

47:19.701 --> 47:20.381
a kick gets blocked.

47:20.982 --> 47:21.062
Yeah.

47:21.082 --> 47:22.283
One way or the other.

47:22.343 --> 47:23.784
And I could see Gabe having

47:24.004 --> 47:26.406
a Kelly Lawson level of

47:27.047 --> 47:30.610
gains between this spring and next spring,

47:32.551 --> 47:35.153
where he's going from, you know,

47:35.974 --> 47:37.508
right at 200 pounds to kind of that 220,

47:37.508 --> 47:37.815
215, 220 range range.

47:41.438 --> 47:44.139
um, where, where wills on the table, um,

47:44.199 --> 47:46.320
in terms of, uh, his position, uh,

47:46.400 --> 47:47.121
slotting in there.

47:47.181 --> 47:49.022
So, um, look, look for that,

47:49.102 --> 47:50.422
but I I'm kind of with you

47:50.442 --> 47:53.464
that that would probably be my B, um, if,

47:53.584 --> 47:54.324
if we were going to get

47:54.344 --> 47:56.645
somebody on the field consistently, um,

47:56.725 --> 47:59.206
it would be, uh, it would be Gabe, um,

47:59.447 --> 48:00.407
getting him up to speed and

48:00.427 --> 48:01.087
things like that.

48:01.187 --> 48:02.868
So, um, but yeah,

48:02.968 --> 48:04.529
if we're talking just special teams,

48:05.189 --> 48:06.330
it's going to be Joshua Clark.

48:06.470 --> 48:07.070
I feel like he could

48:07.090 --> 48:08.191
probably impact the most.

48:09.426 --> 48:09.826
Alrighty.

48:10.287 --> 48:10.447
Well,

48:10.487 --> 48:12.368
now let's flip to this because we've

48:12.388 --> 48:13.528
talked about guys we think

48:13.568 --> 48:15.189
we should see out there this year.

48:15.890 --> 48:17.171
Anybody particular,

48:17.911 --> 48:20.552
not necessarily because they can't play,

48:20.612 --> 48:22.634
but just like you mentioned with,

48:23.074 --> 48:23.374
you know,

48:23.414 --> 48:25.315
with Gabe and a couple of these guys,

48:25.835 --> 48:26.516
do we always want to get

48:26.536 --> 48:27.416
that red shirt on them

48:27.456 --> 48:30.018
because where they fit and

48:30.078 --> 48:31.719
how the ability that they

48:31.759 --> 48:33.140
have right now and where

48:33.160 --> 48:34.380
it's going to be in a couple of years.

48:36.181 --> 48:37.002
Yeah, it's going to be better.

48:38.832 --> 48:39.713
Um, you know,

48:39.733 --> 48:41.014
I think with all the guys

48:41.054 --> 48:42.134
coming out and all the guys

48:42.455 --> 48:44.056
that come in and some of

48:44.096 --> 48:45.236
the youth that we already have,

48:45.276 --> 48:47.678
that we need to get some reps, um,

48:47.718 --> 48:49.279
that's getting into that red shirt,

48:49.299 --> 48:50.900
sophomore, uh,

48:51.060 --> 48:52.861
range of their time in Blacksburg.

48:53.682 --> 48:54.783
Um, I think,

48:54.843 --> 48:56.384
I think handshakes probably definitely,

48:56.704 --> 48:57.324
um, gonna,

48:57.384 --> 48:58.705
gonna be one of those guys that's,

48:58.785 --> 49:00.246
that's taking the red shirt this year.

49:00.266 --> 49:03.929
Um, cause we do have guys like, um,

49:04.449 --> 49:05.289
You know,

49:05.329 --> 49:06.610
that Coach Price was mentioning

49:06.650 --> 49:07.450
earlier that had some

49:07.470 --> 49:09.991
Knicks this past year that are younger.

49:10.071 --> 49:11.011
And that's the reason you

49:11.031 --> 49:12.612
bring in so many guys in the portal.

49:12.632 --> 49:13.452
But you still have those

49:13.492 --> 49:14.753
guys waiting in the wings

49:15.413 --> 49:17.233
that we want to get some reps this year.

49:17.273 --> 49:18.854
So I feel like if there's

49:18.954 --> 49:20.514
extra reps outside of that first,

49:21.075 --> 49:22.915
that core four that we have, you know,

49:24.136 --> 49:25.556
I think it's going to go to those guys.

49:25.596 --> 49:26.296
I think some of those

49:26.336 --> 49:27.377
younger D tackles are going

49:27.397 --> 49:28.477
to take that red shirt and

49:28.777 --> 49:30.518
maybe really across the defensive line.

49:31.298 --> 49:31.418
Um,

49:31.519 --> 49:32.880
if we look at it from that perspective.

49:33.621 --> 49:35.202
Real quick, going to answer a thing here,

49:35.222 --> 49:37.124
uh, from Thomas, um,

49:37.425 --> 49:39.967
no offensive lineman enrolled early.

49:41.829 --> 49:41.949
Um,

49:42.049 --> 49:43.391
I don't think any of them had planned

49:43.471 --> 49:43.991
on it either.

49:44.071 --> 49:46.634
So, uh, again,

49:46.674 --> 49:47.795
everybody has their own path

49:47.835 --> 49:48.656
of how they get here.

49:48.676 --> 49:50.238
You know, you want guys to get in early,

49:50.298 --> 49:50.478
but,

49:50.902 --> 49:51.983
Sometimes if it doesn't work out,

49:52.043 --> 49:52.744
it doesn't work out.

49:53.404 --> 49:54.725
I'm going to give you the

49:54.766 --> 49:56.027
name I think is definitely

49:56.047 --> 49:57.228
going to be a red shirt this year,

49:57.268 --> 49:58.729
and that's going to be Gerard Johnson.

49:59.089 --> 50:00.631
And it's not so much that I

50:00.671 --> 50:01.552
don't think he can play.

50:02.472 --> 50:03.573
I think it's figuring out

50:03.634 --> 50:04.875
what his body is going to

50:04.915 --> 50:05.896
do over the next 365 days.

50:07.978 --> 50:09.598
Does Gerard get here?

50:09.618 --> 50:11.219
Does he gain a lot of mass

50:11.239 --> 50:12.039
where he's going to play a

50:12.099 --> 50:15.819
three-tech at like 285, 290?

50:15.819 --> 50:18.420
Or does he lean out and he's playing 6'4",

50:18.420 --> 50:20.400
260, playing in?

50:21.280 --> 50:22.881
Is he going to be a big in

50:22.921 --> 50:23.841
or is he going to be an

50:24.221 --> 50:25.521
undersized D-tech?

50:25.861 --> 50:26.441
Exactly.

50:26.521 --> 50:27.822
And, again, that was something,

50:28.042 --> 50:30.562
if you go back just over a month ago now,

50:31.042 --> 50:32.762
that Coach Pryor was mentioning.

50:33.023 --> 50:33.723
He was mentioning, like,

50:33.943 --> 50:35.803
we've got to figure out –

50:35.803 --> 50:36.924
what Gerard's going to turn

50:36.964 --> 50:38.364
into because you don't know

50:38.384 --> 50:38.885
what's going to happen.

50:39.085 --> 50:42.327
He's already 6'4", 250 or 245.

50:42.887 --> 50:43.607
He comes in,

50:43.927 --> 50:45.849
he puts on and gets lean muscle,

50:45.909 --> 50:47.589
and he was 265.

50:47.589 --> 50:48.570
You're going to stick him in

50:49.571 --> 50:50.611
because you know that

50:50.951 --> 50:52.452
because of that height and

50:52.492 --> 50:54.473
you did see he does have a little bend.

50:55.073 --> 50:56.654
Even being a bigger kid in high school,

50:56.694 --> 50:57.515
he has a little bend.

50:57.995 --> 50:59.977
Which usually guys, to me,

51:00.077 --> 51:01.319
you don't see that.

51:01.779 --> 51:03.241
Usually guys who are bigger playing in,

51:03.281 --> 51:04.903
they literally just push the tackle back,

51:04.943 --> 51:05.063
right?

51:05.083 --> 51:06.144
They bull rush every time.

51:06.484 --> 51:07.846
You saw Gerard lean a little bit,

51:08.707 --> 51:09.588
being a bigger kid.

51:09.708 --> 51:11.210
So that's the guy I think

51:11.710 --> 51:13.612
it's more of them having to

51:13.732 --> 51:15.134
figure out what his body's

51:15.174 --> 51:16.936
going to do on the weight program,

51:17.176 --> 51:18.077
on the nutrition program.

51:18.669 --> 51:18.749
Yeah,

51:18.769 --> 51:20.710
because he's got a body that like

51:20.831 --> 51:22.932
right now, you know,

51:23.232 --> 51:25.274
that's a prototypical DN body.

51:25.834 --> 51:28.436
And he hasn't even hit a

51:28.476 --> 51:29.336
collegiate weight room,

51:29.416 --> 51:31.518
a collegiate nutrition

51:31.578 --> 51:33.019
program or any of that stuff.

51:33.059 --> 51:35.521
So it'll be interesting to see if...

51:36.610 --> 51:38.071
if they decide they want to

51:38.111 --> 51:39.813
try to get him to put on some weight,

51:39.833 --> 51:40.493
and if they do,

51:41.034 --> 51:42.155
how well that takes and

51:43.476 --> 51:44.677
where he ends up sliding in.

51:44.737 --> 51:46.218
But I definitely agree with you.

51:46.258 --> 51:47.499
I think that that's probably

51:47.639 --> 51:48.460
one that you could see

51:48.540 --> 51:50.121
redshirting for that very reason.

51:50.842 --> 51:53.084
No knock on his game or so on.

51:53.564 --> 51:54.665
Where is he going to fit in?

51:54.685 --> 51:57.587
And as we're working that in,

51:58.188 --> 51:59.569
let's figure out what that

51:59.609 --> 52:02.071
position is so he's not –

52:02.071 --> 52:04.893
having to strain too much

52:04.973 --> 52:06.934
from learning one position

52:07.015 --> 52:07.775
and having to slide to

52:07.815 --> 52:09.156
another position and things like that.

52:09.416 --> 52:11.218
Let's get him in there and

52:12.198 --> 52:13.819
get him acclimated and get

52:13.859 --> 52:15.340
him in that weight room and

52:15.360 --> 52:16.461
that nutrition program and

52:16.501 --> 52:17.342
see where the chips fall.

52:18.262 --> 52:25.326
100%.

52:18.282 --> 52:19.203
I'm going to throw something up here,

52:19.243 --> 52:20.284
Brian, we were talking about,

52:20.304 --> 52:21.384
and this is our coach buddy,

52:21.584 --> 52:22.265
Robbie Compton,

52:22.285 --> 52:23.425
who has put quite a few

52:23.465 --> 52:25.326
kids in college from where he coached.

52:26.067 --> 52:26.767
And just, you know,

52:26.787 --> 52:27.668
a lot of the kids that went

52:27.708 --> 52:28.748
early said the best part

52:28.768 --> 52:30.549
was getting the swing of college classes,

52:30.830 --> 52:31.710
football workouts,

52:32.150 --> 52:33.071
and not the immediate

52:33.111 --> 52:34.172
pressure of in-season games.

52:34.212 --> 52:35.632
Because think about guys who

52:35.652 --> 52:36.293
get there in August.

52:36.333 --> 52:36.933
It's immediate.

52:36.973 --> 52:38.094
Like, hey, listen, in a month,

52:38.814 --> 52:40.015
it's going to be 66,

52:40.015 --> 52:41.035
000 people out there screaming.

52:41.996 --> 52:43.217
Are you ready for that along

52:43.237 --> 52:45.629
with going to class, along with –

52:45.629 --> 52:47.349
you know, meetings and all this stuff.

52:47.689 --> 52:49.490
It's a great point that

52:49.610 --> 52:50.510
Robbie makes there.

52:51.270 --> 52:51.630
Alrighty.

52:51.870 --> 52:55.211
So there's our early enrollees.

52:56.051 --> 52:57.171
Obviously it's going to be

52:57.931 --> 53:00.652
great over the next three months, Brian,

53:01.032 --> 53:02.792
following it, you know,

53:02.832 --> 53:05.173
between listening to Andy,

53:06.573 --> 53:07.433
David Cunningham,

53:07.493 --> 53:08.833
other people inside the program,

53:08.873 --> 53:09.554
talking to a couple of

53:09.594 --> 53:11.574
players about how this breaks down.

53:12.028 --> 53:12.228
Now,

53:12.328 --> 53:14.110
before we get into the back half where

53:14.150 --> 53:15.512
we're looking at what would

53:15.532 --> 53:16.773
be Virginia Tech's perfect

53:16.833 --> 53:18.975
schedule for 2024,

53:18.975 --> 53:19.736
we are going to take a

53:19.796 --> 53:21.598
quick pause for our digital

53:21.618 --> 53:23.080
partners and Main Street Pharmacy.

53:24.440 --> 53:25.360
I can probably save you a

53:25.400 --> 53:26.681
lot of money and I can take

53:26.721 --> 53:27.581
a lot better care of you.

53:28.122 --> 53:28.922
That's pretty much it.

53:29.502 --> 53:30.703
My name is Jeremy Counts and

53:30.783 --> 53:31.443
I'm a pharmacist.

53:31.963 --> 53:32.924
I own and operate Main

53:32.944 --> 53:33.804
Street Pharmacy here in

53:33.824 --> 53:34.605
downtown Blacksburg.

53:35.085 --> 53:36.225
My brother's a pharmacist,

53:36.285 --> 53:37.686
I'm a pharmacist, my uncle's a pharmacist,

53:37.706 --> 53:38.587
my dad's a pharmacist.

53:38.907 --> 53:39.767
I remember he would give me

53:39.887 --> 53:42.228
M&M's to count in little pill counters.

53:42.648 --> 53:43.409
This is something I've

53:43.449 --> 53:44.509
always done and I'm just

53:44.649 --> 53:46.290
lucky that what I know so

53:46.310 --> 53:48.091
well is something that I

53:48.131 --> 53:49.111
can do and feel good about

53:49.131 --> 53:49.972
it and give back to people.

53:50.856 --> 53:52.396
Pharmacies are your frontline defense.

53:52.756 --> 53:54.037
Pharmacy's job is to make

53:54.077 --> 53:55.217
sure you're getting optimal

53:55.237 --> 53:56.757
care for the lowest price possible.

53:57.417 --> 53:57.777
Also,

53:57.977 --> 53:59.858
we take the pressure off of emergency

53:59.918 --> 54:00.118
rooms.

54:00.338 --> 54:01.338
I'll tell people immediately

54:01.378 --> 54:01.978
when they need to go to the

54:02.018 --> 54:03.099
doctor or I'll tell them if

54:03.159 --> 54:04.679
they just need a cream over the counter.

54:05.059 --> 54:06.059
If there's something that

54:06.159 --> 54:07.259
isn't commercially available,

54:07.459 --> 54:08.220
if it's something that's

54:08.260 --> 54:09.500
not available in a certain

54:09.540 --> 54:11.040
strength or a certain form

54:11.060 --> 54:12.380
or anything like that, we'll make it.

54:12.700 --> 54:13.701
TaylorMade medications.

54:14.001 --> 54:14.901
Some of those options save

54:14.921 --> 54:15.661
people a lot of money.

54:16.081 --> 54:16.721
What motivates me?

54:16.901 --> 54:18.062
I get to take care of people

54:18.102 --> 54:18.922
and limit Blacksburg.

54:19.362 --> 54:19.862
That's all I need.

54:22.944 --> 54:23.784
As we take a quick break,

54:23.804 --> 54:25.064
we'd like to tell you about

54:25.145 --> 54:26.325
getting your free website

54:26.365 --> 54:27.565
report from our digital partner,

54:27.665 --> 54:29.546
Grassroots Digital Marketing Studio.

54:29.566 --> 54:30.306
They'll tell you how your

54:30.346 --> 54:32.546
website ranks on Google, on-site SEO,

54:32.626 --> 54:33.406
and social media.

54:33.747 --> 54:35.027
No commitment to buy anything.

54:35.047 --> 54:36.727
You can get your free report

54:36.747 --> 54:37.347
by visiting

54:37.427 --> 54:39.548
grassrootsdigitalstudio.com

54:39.728 --> 54:41.428
forward slash free dash

54:41.528 --> 54:42.869
website dash report.

54:43.009 --> 54:44.089
Now back to the episode.

54:45.396 --> 54:47.117
All righty, and we are back.

54:47.137 --> 54:47.778
All right, Brian,

54:47.798 --> 54:49.880
before we bring up the

54:50.480 --> 54:51.661
spreadsheet here and go

54:51.701 --> 54:54.063
through our perfect schedule,

54:54.683 --> 54:56.184
I want to talk about the

54:56.265 --> 54:57.345
coaching stuff that happened.

54:57.405 --> 54:57.786
Obviously,

54:57.826 --> 54:59.467
last time we were here was the

54:59.487 --> 55:00.928
day Nick Saban retired.

55:01.529 --> 55:03.030
And since that boring time,

55:03.450 --> 55:04.751
Alabama made quick of it.

55:05.312 --> 55:06.753
It seemed like that they may

55:06.793 --> 55:07.954
have known about a month

55:08.014 --> 55:09.435
beforehand that Saban was

55:09.495 --> 55:10.476
going to retire.

55:11.576 --> 55:12.817
And that's all fine and dandy.

55:12.857 --> 55:13.257
By the way,

55:13.317 --> 55:16.740
Hokie's up eight under 10 against BC.

55:18.461 --> 55:19.681
But they hire Kalen DeBoer.

55:20.422 --> 55:21.022
Kalen DeBoer,

55:21.042 --> 55:23.123
who just took Washington to

55:23.143 --> 55:24.304
the national title game.

55:25.465 --> 55:27.266
Had a great season the season before.

55:28.066 --> 55:29.867
Had good seasons at Fresno State.

55:30.688 --> 55:31.628
Won NAIA.

55:31.729 --> 55:32.689
The guy's never lost

55:32.709 --> 55:33.410
wherever he's coached.

55:35.131 --> 55:35.271
But...

55:36.445 --> 55:36.845
Obviously,

55:36.885 --> 55:38.226
there's been some residual

55:38.266 --> 55:39.667
effects of him coming

55:39.687 --> 55:40.588
because there's guys

55:40.608 --> 55:41.368
getting in the portal

55:41.428 --> 55:43.269
leaving guys saying the

55:43.309 --> 55:44.310
only reason I came here is

55:44.330 --> 55:45.791
because I wanted to play for Saban.

55:48.292 --> 55:49.233
What do you think about a

55:49.253 --> 55:50.654
the higher but then the fallout?

55:52.797 --> 55:54.398
know I think that I'm with

55:54.438 --> 55:56.078
you on the uh this was done

55:56.098 --> 55:57.599
beforehand uh that's a

55:57.659 --> 56:01.040
quick turnaround for a like

56:01.060 --> 56:01.780
you didn't hear anything

56:01.820 --> 56:03.181
about a search committee or

56:03.241 --> 56:04.541
any of that like it went

56:04.601 --> 56:06.722
from saving stepping down

56:06.782 --> 56:07.963
and like four or five days

56:08.003 --> 56:10.504
later I we got our guy um

56:10.524 --> 56:11.404
you usually don't see that

56:11.444 --> 56:12.384
quick return around for

56:12.504 --> 56:13.845
that level of program

56:15.255 --> 56:16.896
So usually it's a little bit

56:16.917 --> 56:19.018
more of a process finding

56:19.058 --> 56:21.259
that replacement to, let's be honest,

56:21.340 --> 56:21.900
a legend,

56:22.560 --> 56:24.422
arguably maybe the greatest

56:24.442 --> 56:26.023
college football coach of all time.

56:29.165 --> 56:30.746
You can debate that if you want to,

56:30.806 --> 56:32.227
but he's certainly into the discussion.

56:32.247 --> 56:35.249
And then you got Kalen DeBoer, who,

56:35.289 --> 56:35.749
like you said,

56:35.789 --> 56:37.050
has won everywhere he's been,

56:37.070 --> 56:39.432
has had great success

56:39.532 --> 56:40.313
everywhere he's been.

56:43.010 --> 56:44.351
That's a big hire.

56:44.371 --> 56:49.215
I expected – it wasn't as

56:49.475 --> 56:51.637
Alabama of a hire as I expected,

56:52.177 --> 56:52.958
so I'll say that.

56:54.780 --> 56:55.620
It was definitely a little

56:55.660 --> 56:56.921
bit of left field.

56:57.021 --> 56:59.003
It's a guy that hasn't

56:59.123 --> 57:01.325
really – Alabama's a national program.

57:01.345 --> 57:02.346
They recruit everywhere, right?

57:02.506 --> 57:04.427
But they still primarily

57:04.487 --> 57:07.029
recruit in that six- or

57:07.049 --> 57:08.450
seven-hour window of their school,

57:08.691 --> 57:09.351
mainly because that's where

57:09.371 --> 57:10.472
all the fucking talent is, right?

57:10.492 --> 57:11.253
Yeah.

57:11.753 --> 57:12.853
Georgia, Florida,

57:12.873 --> 57:14.274
there are drives from Texas.

57:14.994 --> 57:16.514
That's where the fucking town is, right?

57:17.594 --> 57:20.075
So it helps that that's where you recruit.

57:20.155 --> 57:22.175
So not having a ton of

57:22.255 --> 57:23.395
experience recruiting in

57:23.455 --> 57:26.036
that area would be the

57:26.076 --> 57:27.376
thing that would give me

57:27.436 --> 57:29.857
hesitancy as if I was an Alabama fan.

57:30.297 --> 57:30.977
But otherwise,

57:31.037 --> 57:32.177
it checks all the damn boxes.

57:32.677 --> 57:34.178
It does check all the damn boxes.

57:34.278 --> 57:36.418
And I think it was, I mean,

57:37.358 --> 57:38.159
the guy's a winner.

57:38.759 --> 57:39.919
And I think also...

57:41.508 --> 57:42.808
You get a feeling it was

57:43.629 --> 57:44.469
Saban's handpicked.

57:45.609 --> 57:46.329
You have a feeling.

57:46.349 --> 57:47.490
You have a feeling Saban

57:47.530 --> 57:48.490
wasn't going to let anybody

57:48.510 --> 57:49.410
just walk in there.

57:49.450 --> 57:50.951
He's still going to be part of the program,

57:51.171 --> 57:51.391
you know,

57:51.431 --> 57:53.531
like most of the head coaches who retire.

57:54.011 --> 57:55.032
And I know everybody says

57:55.072 --> 57:55.832
you don't want to be the

57:55.932 --> 57:57.232
guy after the guy,

57:57.672 --> 57:58.893
and we'll see how that takes place.

57:59.993 --> 58:01.433
He's already had, for example,

58:03.314 --> 58:04.754
the left tackle guy is the

58:04.834 --> 58:05.675
one I don't completely

58:05.695 --> 58:07.813
understand because –

58:07.813 --> 58:08.933
The O-line coach coming

58:09.013 --> 58:10.173
literally just coached the

58:10.254 --> 58:13.494
Joe Moore award-winning offensive line.

58:13.954 --> 58:15.054
He's going to Iowa.

58:15.815 --> 58:17.255
Well, here's the thing about Iowa.

58:17.555 --> 58:18.815
That is not a good offense.

58:20.096 --> 58:20.976
I don't get that.

58:21.756 --> 58:22.596
I don't get that.

58:23.716 --> 58:25.217
But we'll see how it all pans out.

58:25.577 --> 58:27.237
You know, there's obviously residual move.

58:27.297 --> 58:27.797
Jed Fish,

58:27.837 --> 58:30.778
who led Arizona to a great season down at,

58:30.798 --> 58:31.818
you know,

58:32.859 --> 58:33.960
down at Arizona.

58:34.661 --> 58:36.383
He takes the UW job.

58:37.344 --> 58:38.165
Not a shock there.

58:38.205 --> 58:40.408
He turned Arizona around unbelievably.

58:40.588 --> 58:42.510
I don't think anybody saw that happening.

58:42.530 --> 58:44.312
Yeah, nobody saw them.

58:44.532 --> 58:45.914
I think people saw them

58:45.974 --> 58:48.156
getting kind of steadied out,

58:48.777 --> 58:49.237
leveled out.

58:49.938 --> 58:50.858
I don't think they saw them

58:50.898 --> 58:51.798
taking the big steps that

58:51.838 --> 58:52.519
they took this year.

58:52.979 --> 58:53.539
And win nine,

58:53.619 --> 58:55.199
ten games like they did this year.

58:55.499 --> 58:56.240
And then, obviously,

58:56.280 --> 58:57.800
the last piece was Brent Brennan,

58:57.820 --> 58:59.060
who'd been at San Jose State,

59:00.360 --> 59:01.421
who'd had some success there.

59:01.461 --> 59:02.761
He takes over Arizona.

59:02.821 --> 59:03.461
And I'm sure there's

59:03.501 --> 59:05.802
somebody with San Jose State,

59:06.122 --> 59:07.122
but I'm looking at just the

59:07.142 --> 59:09.603
Power Five schools in this case.

59:10.423 --> 59:11.263
All righty, Brian.

59:11.843 --> 59:15.084
Let's move on and let's do it here.

59:15.144 --> 59:17.485
Let's talk about the perfect schedule.

59:18.565 --> 59:19.225
Get that up.

59:20.393 --> 59:21.694
Now, obviously, yes,

59:21.974 --> 59:23.214
we have been discussing this,

59:23.254 --> 59:24.415
and we've been putting our stuff in,

59:24.435 --> 59:25.456
and yes, some things leak.

59:25.796 --> 59:27.997
We will get to those because

59:28.417 --> 59:29.257
it's a hot topic.

59:29.277 --> 59:30.318
We're still going to tell

59:30.378 --> 59:32.239
you exactly what we think a

59:32.339 --> 59:34.260
perfect ACC schedule will look like,

59:34.820 --> 59:36.821
even though we know where

59:37.221 --> 59:39.142
two of those outside of the UVA game,

59:39.162 --> 59:41.003
which is always slated in

59:41.043 --> 59:41.864
the end of November,

59:42.484 --> 59:43.344
are going to fall here.

59:43.404 --> 59:44.725
So we're looking primarily

59:44.765 --> 59:46.106
at week five through week 12 here.

59:47.126 --> 59:48.547
We know week 13 is going to

59:48.587 --> 59:50.087
be after Thanksgiving.

59:50.107 --> 59:52.568
We're going to beat the shit

59:52.588 --> 59:53.768
out of the Cavaliers again.

59:53.868 --> 59:55.589
So we know that's happening.

59:55.749 --> 59:56.649
We're looking at everything

59:56.749 --> 59:59.250
else after the non-conference games.

59:59.830 --> 01:00:00.191
Alrighty.

01:00:00.311 --> 01:00:00.871
Well, Brian,

01:00:01.311 --> 01:00:03.131
we just come off a game at Rutgers.

01:00:04.392 --> 01:00:05.472
Non-con is done.

01:00:06.052 --> 01:00:07.773
Where's the first ACC matchup for you?

01:00:09.774 --> 01:00:09.974
Well,

01:00:10.954 --> 01:00:12.034
I think we're going to take a little

01:00:12.074 --> 01:00:13.475
trip down to Durham and

01:00:15.337 --> 01:00:16.698
And we're going to face the Blue Devils.

01:00:19.201 --> 01:00:21.403
I think this is a good kind of test,

01:00:21.623 --> 01:00:23.504
but also a decent warm-up

01:00:23.544 --> 01:00:24.625
for the ACC schedule

01:00:24.645 --> 01:00:26.447
because I feel like Duke is

01:00:26.467 --> 01:00:27.208
probably going to take at

01:00:27.248 --> 01:00:28.509
least a small step back

01:00:29.761 --> 01:00:30.521
relative to where they've

01:00:30.541 --> 01:00:31.642
been the last couple years.

01:00:32.623 --> 01:00:33.523
But I think it's still going

01:00:33.543 --> 01:00:35.044
to be a solid opponent.

01:00:35.764 --> 01:00:36.945
Obviously, you're playing at their place,

01:00:36.985 --> 01:00:38.426
so I think you factor in

01:00:38.466 --> 01:00:39.186
those two things.

01:00:40.006 --> 01:00:42.368
It's a good little combo there,

01:00:42.528 --> 01:00:44.068
but I think it's a good way

01:00:44.108 --> 01:00:46.470
to kind of ease into the ACC schedule.

01:00:46.930 --> 01:00:49.091
It's not the weakest team in

01:00:49.131 --> 01:00:49.972
the conference,

01:00:49.992 --> 01:00:51.012
but you're also not getting

01:00:51.492 --> 01:00:52.453
a heavy weight out the gate.

01:00:53.092 --> 01:00:53.712
No, not at all.

01:00:53.792 --> 01:00:55.173
And believe it or not,

01:00:55.653 --> 01:00:56.674
I'm right with Brian on

01:00:56.714 --> 01:00:58.295
this one with having Duke.

01:00:58.795 --> 01:00:59.875
It's Lane Stadium South.

01:00:59.895 --> 01:01:01.376
Let's go ahead and mark that.

01:01:01.396 --> 01:01:02.257
It's going to be about 70-30

01:01:02.297 --> 01:01:02.897
Hokies to Blue Devil fans.

01:01:07.819 --> 01:01:08.939
Whenever we play them,

01:01:09.720 --> 01:01:10.720
I don't care when it is.

01:01:11.220 --> 01:01:12.261
But I think it's to your point.

01:01:12.301 --> 01:01:13.721
They're an okay team.

01:01:13.741 --> 01:01:15.041
They're going to give you a challenge.

01:01:15.101 --> 01:01:17.802
It's also having a road game

01:01:18.062 --> 01:01:20.223
early with not a heavy travel.

01:01:20.683 --> 01:01:20.863
Yep.

01:01:21.444 --> 01:01:22.684
And we'll get into that in a

01:01:22.724 --> 01:01:23.344
little while here.

01:01:23.484 --> 01:01:24.445
Without a heavy travel,

01:01:24.465 --> 01:01:26.465
but getting into that routine.

01:01:26.565 --> 01:01:27.466
I know people are like, well,

01:01:27.566 --> 01:01:29.526
we've already been to ODU at that point.

01:01:29.546 --> 01:01:30.647
It would have been to Nashville.

01:01:30.727 --> 01:01:31.487
The opening game,

01:01:31.807 --> 01:01:32.847
don't ever count opening games.

01:01:33.368 --> 01:01:33.908
Just because –

01:01:34.688 --> 01:01:36.510
it's so much prep work going into those.

01:01:36.590 --> 01:01:37.270
It's so much prep work.

01:01:37.310 --> 01:01:37.691
And it like,

01:01:37.791 --> 01:01:39.492
even that schedule is usually

01:01:39.632 --> 01:01:41.233
funkier than your average

01:01:41.293 --> 01:01:42.454
road trip schedule is going to be.

01:01:42.975 --> 01:01:43.695
Exactly.

01:01:44.016 --> 01:01:45.156
So with this, you, like you said,

01:01:45.196 --> 01:01:46.177
you kind of land out of the

01:01:46.217 --> 01:01:48.599
gate and you get a pro crowd.

01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:49.980
It's not a long drive.

01:01:50.701 --> 01:01:50.821
Um,

01:01:51.932 --> 01:01:52.753
And again,

01:01:52.793 --> 01:01:54.094
it gives you a little bit of a challenge.

01:01:54.534 --> 01:01:56.255
Tally and Shelton were good enough.

01:01:56.315 --> 01:01:57.316
Even though they aren't here tonight,

01:01:57.336 --> 01:01:58.156
they popped theirs.

01:01:58.557 --> 01:02:00.138
And believe it or not, week five,

01:02:00.158 --> 01:02:02.159
we were across the board.

01:02:02.539 --> 01:02:02.720
Like,

01:02:02.740 --> 01:02:04.561
let's just go to Duke week five and

01:02:04.581 --> 01:02:05.501
get this out of the way.

01:02:06.282 --> 01:02:06.502
All right.

01:02:06.542 --> 01:02:09.044
So week six, Brian.

01:02:10.257 --> 01:02:11.820
I went a little sideways with this one.

01:02:13.262 --> 01:02:14.003
I'm going to go ahead and

01:02:14.023 --> 01:02:15.185
put Georgia Tech on there.

01:02:15.766 --> 01:02:16.787
Okay.

01:02:17.468 --> 01:02:20.793
I think it's kind of a similar situation.

01:02:21.214 --> 01:02:22.356
It's a little bit of a...

01:02:23.596 --> 01:02:24.577
Mid-tier,

01:02:25.397 --> 01:02:26.618
probably a little bit lower on

01:02:26.658 --> 01:02:28.659
the mid-tier than Duke,

01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:30.459
but still a team that's

01:02:30.479 --> 01:02:31.380
going to give you a challenge,

01:02:31.420 --> 01:02:33.041
a team that does some

01:02:33.061 --> 01:02:34.101
things a little differently

01:02:34.121 --> 01:02:35.242
than what Duke will do them.

01:02:36.142 --> 01:02:38.083
So you get a different look there as well.

01:02:38.703 --> 01:02:39.624
So I think that's a good way

01:02:39.644 --> 01:02:40.584
to kind of ease into the

01:02:40.644 --> 01:02:41.765
meatier part of the schedule.

01:02:42.465 --> 01:02:43.286
All right, for me,

01:02:44.126 --> 01:02:45.507
get the big road trip out of the way,

01:02:45.827 --> 01:02:48.768
get on the plane, fly to Palo Alto,

01:02:48.848 --> 01:02:49.709
play at the farm,

01:02:50.598 --> 01:02:55.324
Get that one done in early October.

01:02:55.344 --> 01:02:57.207
This would be like the October 5th game,

01:02:57.327 --> 01:02:57.908
effectively.

01:03:00.031 --> 01:03:01.673
Stanford not coming off a good season,

01:03:01.753 --> 01:03:03.515
obviously in a big rebuild right now.

01:03:04.244 --> 01:03:05.505
Get it out of the way early

01:03:05.805 --> 01:03:06.705
where they maybe haven't

01:03:06.785 --> 01:03:07.966
found anything yet.

01:03:08.846 --> 01:03:09.306
Also,

01:03:09.546 --> 01:03:11.547
this game comes right up against the

01:03:11.587 --> 01:03:12.588
Notre Dame game.

01:03:13.128 --> 01:03:14.388
Probably could potentially

01:03:14.449 --> 01:03:15.449
overlook the Hokies.

01:03:16.269 --> 01:03:17.270
But my bigger one here is

01:03:17.330 --> 01:03:19.191
just I don't want to be

01:03:19.291 --> 01:03:23.332
flying to Stanford in the

01:03:23.392 --> 01:03:24.233
middle of November.

01:03:24.753 --> 01:03:26.194
Or even early November.

01:03:26.354 --> 01:03:28.136
I don't want a late game

01:03:28.436 --> 01:03:29.617
that late just because of

01:03:29.637 --> 01:03:34.300
the travel and how much that can do.

01:03:35.421 --> 01:03:37.663
So let's go to Stanford Week 12.

01:03:38.844 --> 01:03:39.164
By the way,

01:03:40.085 --> 01:03:41.146
both of these games are still

01:03:41.186 --> 01:03:41.646
on the table.

01:03:42.026 --> 01:03:42.847
This could happen.

01:03:43.467 --> 01:03:43.908
I hope they will.

01:03:43.928 --> 01:03:45.929
All right, Tally and Sheldon,

01:03:45.949 --> 01:03:46.750
what they got here.

01:03:46.850 --> 01:03:48.091
Tally followed me.

01:03:50.012 --> 01:03:50.553
Sheldon went a little

01:03:50.573 --> 01:03:51.894
sideways there with Miami.

01:03:52.134 --> 01:03:53.535
A little trip down to Miami.

01:03:53.911 --> 01:03:55.652
Well, I think I look at Shelton.

01:03:55.672 --> 01:03:56.612
I think Shelton's basically

01:03:56.632 --> 01:03:57.713
saying play an okay team

01:03:57.753 --> 01:03:58.513
and then play a team that's

01:03:58.533 --> 01:04:00.274
going to be perceived to

01:04:00.314 --> 01:04:01.135
have a better season.

01:04:01.155 --> 01:04:02.836
Go ahead and get that test

01:04:03.096 --> 01:04:04.236
and then have a big road

01:04:04.276 --> 01:04:05.097
trip the next week.

01:04:05.697 --> 01:04:06.578
I wish they were here to

01:04:06.638 --> 01:04:07.838
discuss their things a little bit more,

01:04:07.878 --> 01:04:09.059
but they got things going on.

01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:10.019
But there you go.

01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:11.880
We got two agrees and then

01:04:12.140 --> 01:04:13.841
one home game and one good

01:04:13.841 --> 01:04:15.982
– and win one other away game.

01:04:16.583 --> 01:04:17.423
All right, week seven.

01:04:19.584 --> 01:04:20.665
All right, week seven.

01:04:22.307 --> 01:04:23.628
Now we're going to Palo Alto.

01:04:23.728 --> 01:04:24.888
Now we're going to Palo Alto.

01:04:25.229 --> 01:04:26.189
Still early October.

01:04:26.489 --> 01:04:29.551
We got our two mid-tier warm-ups.

01:04:30.451 --> 01:04:31.332
Let's take it out there.

01:04:31.392 --> 01:04:32.693
Let's beat up on a team that

01:04:32.833 --> 01:04:35.234
should be still at a rebuild.

01:04:35.294 --> 01:04:36.334
Still early enough where

01:04:36.354 --> 01:04:37.035
you're probably getting

01:04:37.075 --> 01:04:39.076
them not quite fully settled.

01:04:40.657 --> 01:04:43.758
And I think early to

01:04:43.798 --> 01:04:45.519
mid-October out in Palo Alto,

01:04:45.539 --> 01:04:46.340
that's probably not a bad

01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:47.400
place for a road trip if

01:04:47.420 --> 01:04:48.041
you're going to take that

01:04:48.281 --> 01:04:50.142
one big trip as a Hokie fan every year.

01:04:50.162 --> 01:04:50.482
Yeah.

01:04:51.531 --> 01:04:54.172
I'll I'll say that that area

01:04:54.633 --> 01:04:56.274
yeah in october is probably

01:04:56.394 --> 01:04:58.335
60s you know if you're a

01:04:58.355 --> 01:04:59.835
wine drinker go out to napa

01:05:00.716 --> 01:05:01.456
maybe the niners are

01:05:01.476 --> 01:05:02.957
playing the you know the

01:05:03.537 --> 01:05:05.278
sunday game and I could you

01:05:05.298 --> 01:05:06.979
know max out a credit card

01:05:06.999 --> 01:05:08.820
and sleep on the couch for

01:05:08.840 --> 01:05:12.382
about six months I am that

01:05:12.402 --> 01:05:13.923
sounds fun you know maybe

01:05:13.943 --> 01:05:16.524
all right but for me with this one

01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:22.961
We're six games in, open, bye week.

01:05:23.261 --> 01:05:24.262
Time for a bye week.

01:05:24.342 --> 01:05:24.882
We need a bye.

01:05:25.262 --> 01:05:26.383
Take a break.

01:05:26.423 --> 01:05:27.043
Take a break.

01:05:27.743 --> 01:05:31.405
You just come off of going 6-0.

01:05:31.645 --> 01:05:34.446
You got some meaty, meaty on the back end,

01:05:34.506 --> 01:05:35.427
some good teams.

01:05:35.547 --> 01:05:38.108
So give me the bye week this week.

01:05:39.689 --> 01:05:40.049
All right.

01:05:40.189 --> 01:05:40.509
All right.

01:05:40.529 --> 01:05:41.069
I feel that.

01:05:41.669 --> 01:05:43.610
The tally had Georgia Tech

01:05:44.151 --> 01:05:44.971
coming in right there.

01:05:46.240 --> 01:05:48.421
Tally like layering it up, like play okay,

01:05:48.461 --> 01:05:50.541
play bad, play another okay team.

01:05:51.262 --> 01:05:53.782
Yeah, and he's got the two road trips.

01:05:53.802 --> 01:05:55.083
He had to throw a home one in there.

01:05:55.663 --> 01:05:56.703
Got a home game in there.

01:05:57.103 --> 01:05:57.844
I ain't home yet.

01:05:57.864 --> 01:06:00.344
Oh, look at you and Sheldon the grin.

01:06:03.225 --> 01:06:03.725
You know what?

01:06:04.686 --> 01:06:05.486
Great minds, man.

01:06:05.506 --> 01:06:05.966
Great minds.

01:06:05.986 --> 01:06:06.446
Great minds.

01:06:06.546 --> 01:06:07.587
All righty.

01:06:08.427 --> 01:06:08.947
Week eight.

01:06:09.547 --> 01:06:11.088
What say you, Sigla?

01:06:12.068 --> 01:06:13.288
We taking a break in week eight.

01:06:14.029 --> 01:06:15.289
Taking a break in week eight.

01:06:16.325 --> 01:06:17.846
All right, seven games in.

01:06:18.406 --> 01:06:18.886
Ideally,

01:06:18.926 --> 01:06:20.427
we would be taking a break in week eight.

01:06:21.287 --> 01:06:21.747
Ideally.

01:06:23.088 --> 01:06:25.149
That still might be a potential, right?

01:06:25.609 --> 01:06:26.369
No, no.

01:06:26.649 --> 01:06:27.590
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

01:06:27.770 --> 01:06:28.490
Boston College.

01:06:29.010 --> 01:06:33.272
Okay, so, yep, it's mid-October.

01:06:34.613 --> 01:06:36.434
Two teams likely with really

01:06:36.474 --> 01:06:38.595
good records sitting there.

01:06:39.475 --> 01:06:40.155
It literally would be

01:06:40.255 --> 01:06:42.036
October 19th that this

01:06:42.076 --> 01:06:42.716
would have happened.

01:06:43.657 --> 01:06:43.977
I mean...

01:06:46.994 --> 01:06:48.396
that would be one of those games, right?

01:06:49.538 --> 01:06:50.319
One of those games you go

01:06:50.339 --> 01:06:51.761
down for one of those games,

01:06:51.801 --> 01:06:54.244
maybe game day shows up for Clemson.

01:06:54.945 --> 01:06:55.145
Yeah.

01:06:56.027 --> 01:06:56.167
And,

01:06:56.247 --> 01:06:57.809
and I think at this point in the season,

01:06:57.829 --> 01:06:59.692
I think the confidence is built and,

01:07:00.171 --> 01:07:01.732
I think they're not the

01:07:01.772 --> 01:07:03.572
Clemson of what they were six,

01:07:03.612 --> 01:07:04.493
seven years ago.

01:07:05.213 --> 01:07:06.813
They're still really good defensively.

01:07:06.873 --> 01:07:07.774
They still have got some

01:07:07.814 --> 01:07:08.914
game breakers on offense.

01:07:08.974 --> 01:07:09.974
It still would be a

01:07:10.134 --> 01:07:11.735
challenge in that game.

01:07:11.935 --> 01:07:13.676
Clemson this past year,

01:07:13.716 --> 01:07:14.256
probably what they're

01:07:14.276 --> 01:07:14.996
looking at next year is

01:07:15.176 --> 01:07:17.837
about where they were in 2011, right?

01:07:17.917 --> 01:07:19.818
Yeah, good.

01:07:19.958 --> 01:07:20.938
A really good team.

01:07:21.718 --> 01:07:22.279
Some flaws.

01:07:24.019 --> 01:07:24.579
Some flaws.

01:07:24.659 --> 01:07:24.880
Well,

01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:26.160
the biggest flaw is the person

01:07:26.180 --> 01:07:26.900
wearing the headset.

01:07:27.901 --> 01:07:28.381
Yeah.

01:07:29.889 --> 01:07:30.250
All righty,

01:07:30.410 --> 01:07:32.234
where's Tally and Sheldon on week eight?

01:07:33.015 --> 01:07:33.737
Tally's with me.

01:07:33.757 --> 01:07:34.879
We got a bye week, baby.

01:07:35.660 --> 01:07:36.742
Bye week and show.

01:07:36.763 --> 01:07:37.524
Look at all y'all.

01:07:37.765 --> 01:07:38.286
Look at all y'all.

01:07:38.506 --> 01:07:39.187
Well, guess what?

01:07:39.688 --> 01:07:41.352
I still might be right about the bye week.

01:07:41.372 --> 01:07:41.792
Y'all wrong.

01:07:43.095 --> 01:07:44.375
You probably are right about

01:07:44.395 --> 01:07:46.396
the bye week if we're

01:07:46.416 --> 01:07:48.557
looking at that Thursday night game.

01:07:49.617 --> 01:07:48.557
100%.

01:07:50.817 --> 01:07:52.098
So week nine,

01:07:52.158 --> 01:07:53.278
I'm going Clemson because

01:07:53.298 --> 01:07:54.178
you've got to get Clemson

01:07:54.198 --> 01:07:54.999
coming off the bye.

01:07:55.019 --> 01:07:55.839
I feel like that's the best

01:07:55.899 --> 01:07:56.479
place for them.

01:07:56.879 --> 01:07:57.759
If we were building this

01:07:57.779 --> 01:07:58.900
schedule just for the Hokies,

01:07:58.940 --> 01:07:59.960
which is what we're doing here,

01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:02.041
I want Clemson off a bye.

01:08:02.481 --> 01:08:04.281
I want the opponent that I

01:08:05.062 --> 01:08:06.082
have to prepare for the

01:08:06.142 --> 01:08:07.642
most that I've got at home.

01:08:07.922 --> 01:08:08.783
Let's go ahead and take care

01:08:08.803 --> 01:08:09.903
of business coming off the bye.

01:08:11.091 --> 01:08:13.873
100%.

01:08:12.072 --> 01:08:12.612
And honestly,

01:08:12.652 --> 01:08:13.873
I want that on a Thursday night.

01:08:14.494 --> 01:08:14.654
Yep.

01:08:15.715 --> 01:08:16.715
You want that on a Thursday.

01:08:16.955 --> 01:08:17.276
Okay.

01:08:18.116 --> 01:08:18.537
Makes sense.

01:08:18.657 --> 01:08:20.578
But you know that is where

01:08:20.618 --> 01:08:21.319
you say it's perfect

01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:22.299
because you know the power

01:08:22.339 --> 01:08:23.720
brokers at ESPN are not

01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:24.481
going to let Clemson

01:08:24.501 --> 01:08:27.063
Virginia Tech go to a

01:08:27.103 --> 01:08:28.003
Thursday night game.

01:08:28.103 --> 01:08:29.004
I know they're not,

01:08:29.084 --> 01:08:30.145
but that's where I want it.

01:08:30.245 --> 01:08:31.186
That's where you want it.

01:08:31.426 --> 01:08:31.626
All right.

01:08:32.847 --> 01:08:33.548
Let's get to me.

01:08:34.489 --> 01:08:35.751
You just came off Clemson.

01:08:35.971 --> 01:08:37.333
I don't want someone that

01:08:37.353 --> 01:08:38.614
could possibly be overlooked.

01:08:38.634 --> 01:08:40.877
I think Haynes King and what

01:08:40.937 --> 01:08:42.399
Georgia Tech did last year,

01:08:43.440 --> 01:08:44.702
you would not take them lightly.

01:08:45.303 --> 01:08:46.124
Like, you know, hey,

01:08:46.244 --> 01:08:47.165
this guy had a lot of

01:08:47.205 --> 01:08:48.066
touchdowns last year.

01:08:48.106 --> 01:08:48.807
They can score.

01:08:49.707 --> 01:08:50.828
Look how they played Georgia.

01:08:50.888 --> 01:08:51.588
They hung with them

01:08:51.628 --> 01:08:52.849
defensively for a while.

01:08:54.130 --> 01:08:55.191
Coming off a Clemson game,

01:08:55.251 --> 01:08:56.912
you don't want someone you can overlook,

01:08:57.232 --> 01:08:59.013
whether you win or lose that game.

01:08:59.393 --> 01:09:00.754
At worst, they're going to be a tough out.

01:09:00.814 --> 01:09:02.015
You know what you're getting.

01:09:02.315 --> 01:09:03.656
As soon as you wake up Sunday morning,

01:09:03.676 --> 01:09:05.037
you know, hey, listen, we got to lock in.

01:09:05.137 --> 01:09:06.358
They have some playmakers.

01:09:06.498 --> 01:09:07.899
They can win this game.

01:09:07.939 --> 01:09:09.040
But back-to-back home games

01:09:09.080 --> 01:09:09.980
after back-to-back road

01:09:10.020 --> 01:09:10.821
trips for me as well.

01:09:12.362 --> 01:09:13.003
All right.

01:09:13.043 --> 01:09:13.463
Good deal.

01:09:15.065 --> 01:09:15.345
All right.

01:09:15.405 --> 01:09:17.166
Tally's with me on Clemson coming off that,

01:09:17.707 --> 01:09:18.908
and so is Sean.

01:09:19.889 --> 01:09:22.671
No, we at least keep it consistent.

01:09:22.731 --> 01:09:23.872
Everybody here wants to play

01:09:23.912 --> 01:09:24.813
Clemson off that bye.

01:09:25.114 --> 01:09:26.275
Off the bye week.

01:09:26.375 --> 01:09:29.898
It is an absolute, it's a must.

01:09:30.158 --> 01:09:30.759
It's a must.

01:09:31.179 --> 01:09:31.960
All right.

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:32.280
Week 10.

01:09:35.263 --> 01:09:36.183
I've got Syracuse.

01:09:36.203 --> 01:09:38.646
We got a big win after Clemson, hopefully.

01:09:40.020 --> 01:09:41.181
You're not going to overlook

01:09:41.261 --> 01:09:43.703
Syracuse in the artist

01:09:43.743 --> 01:09:45.164
formerly known as the Carrier Dome.

01:09:45.504 --> 01:09:46.425
It's still the Carrier Dome.

01:09:47.005 --> 01:09:48.146
They can rename it all they want.

01:09:48.186 --> 01:09:49.947
It's still the Carrier Dome.

01:09:50.928 --> 01:09:51.989
JMA Wireless.

01:09:53.069 --> 01:09:55.031
That is what a JMA Wireless is.

01:09:55.271 --> 01:09:55.871
Yeah.

01:09:56.251 --> 01:09:58.133
I mean, it's still Heinz Field, too,

01:09:58.193 --> 01:09:59.233
so don't get it twisted.

01:09:59.273 --> 01:09:59.754
It's still Heinz Field.

01:10:00.734 --> 01:10:01.975
And see, I'm with you on this.

01:10:02.115 --> 01:10:03.015
But this one,

01:10:03.295 --> 01:10:04.976
I know you did it right after Clemson.

01:10:05.556 --> 01:10:07.097
I'm doing it after Georgia Tech here.

01:10:07.117 --> 01:10:08.337
Go ahead and throw that up there.

01:10:08.377 --> 01:10:10.818
Put that ugly orange S. This

01:10:10.878 --> 01:10:12.159
was the toughest one.

01:10:12.799 --> 01:10:13.900
Yeah.

01:10:13.980 --> 01:10:15.820
Literally, I was like, I don't like it.

01:10:15.860 --> 01:10:16.421
Well, maybe do it.

01:10:16.961 --> 01:10:17.861
I don't like it early.

01:10:20.322 --> 01:10:21.623
You can't put a trip to the

01:10:21.683 --> 01:10:22.763
Carrier Dome anywhere and

01:10:22.803 --> 01:10:23.464
feel good about it.

01:10:23.724 --> 01:10:24.144
You can't.

01:10:24.324 --> 01:10:24.724
You can't.

01:10:25.104 --> 01:10:26.665
The only way I put it in is like,

01:10:28.780 --> 01:10:30.641
You're putting it after two hard games,

01:10:31.242 --> 01:10:31.762
whether, again,

01:10:31.782 --> 01:10:33.323
you win or lose those games.

01:10:34.543 --> 01:10:34.903
And again,

01:10:34.943 --> 01:10:37.164
I think having guys who played

01:10:37.245 --> 01:10:39.175
here and played in that environment 20,

01:10:39.175 --> 01:10:42.147
30 years ago, listen, yeah,

01:10:42.187 --> 01:10:43.328
they might not be a good team,

01:10:43.488 --> 01:10:44.628
but that place is weird.

01:10:45.349 --> 01:10:46.609
Weird shit happens up there.

01:10:47.089 --> 01:10:48.090
So don't forget it.

01:10:49.208 --> 01:10:50.169
I heard they're renovating it,

01:10:50.189 --> 01:10:51.050
and they might not have the

01:10:51.110 --> 01:10:52.351
visitor locker room in the

01:10:52.431 --> 01:10:53.873
top of the stands anymore.

01:10:54.693 --> 01:10:55.955
Well, let's hope they fix that.

01:10:56.855 --> 01:10:57.716
Let's hope they fix it.

01:10:57.796 --> 01:10:58.217
All righty.

01:10:59.038 --> 01:11:04.122
Tally says Syracuse.

01:11:04.343 --> 01:11:05.544
We got a Boston College in there.

01:11:06.104 --> 01:11:06.505
Okay.

01:11:06.685 --> 01:11:08.346
Well, I mean, Shelton basically.

01:11:08.967 --> 01:11:09.748
Well, look at Shelton.

01:11:09.768 --> 01:11:10.809
He went road, road, road.

01:11:12.498 --> 01:11:14.539
He's only got one more road

01:11:14.599 --> 01:11:15.340
game to do here,

01:11:15.360 --> 01:11:16.480
so we've got to figure it out.

01:11:17.301 --> 01:11:19.222
He went road, road, road, then we got home,

01:11:19.262 --> 01:11:19.902
home.

01:11:20.322 --> 01:11:20.582
Yeah.

01:11:21.183 --> 01:11:21.583
All righty.

01:11:21.943 --> 01:11:23.684
Where are you week 11, Brian?

01:11:23.744 --> 01:11:24.644
Now we're eliminating.

01:11:24.744 --> 01:11:26.265
It's like there's only a few teams left.

01:11:26.305 --> 01:11:27.005
Y'all can figure out what

01:11:27.045 --> 01:11:27.946
these last few are.

01:11:29.126 --> 01:11:29.927
Boston College.

01:11:30.507 --> 01:11:31.067
Yeah.

01:11:31.427 --> 01:11:32.368
We're going to kick some

01:11:32.388 --> 01:11:34.109
eagle ass at Lane Stadium in week 11.

01:11:34.109 --> 01:11:34.909
Week 11,

01:11:34.909 --> 01:11:36.890
it's going to be the early part of

01:11:36.950 --> 01:11:37.410
November.

01:11:37.470 --> 01:11:38.131
I'm with you.

01:11:38.691 --> 01:11:39.871
I won't BC here.

01:11:42.273 --> 01:11:43.094
No apparent reason.

01:11:43.114 --> 01:11:44.034
I think it's more or less

01:11:44.094 --> 01:11:45.856
because we had to put Syracuse somewhere.

01:11:45.876 --> 01:11:48.777
Cause I almost put BC after GT,

01:11:48.798 --> 01:11:49.598
but then it's like, no,

01:11:49.618 --> 01:11:50.699
I don't want like three.

01:11:51.259 --> 01:11:52.520
I don't want to like a really good team.

01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:53.160
And then two.

01:11:53.341 --> 01:11:53.661
Okay.

01:11:53.701 --> 01:11:57.263
Teams with, you know, very good,

01:11:57.383 --> 01:11:58.064
like solid,

01:11:58.244 --> 01:12:00.005
good to good quarterbacks and

01:12:00.045 --> 01:12:01.166
then go to Syracuse.

01:12:02.367 --> 01:12:03.688
So yeah, I'm with BC here.

01:12:03.708 --> 01:12:05.609
What about Tally Tally?

01:12:06.009 --> 01:12:07.530
Tally had BC.

01:12:08.431 --> 01:12:09.512
And I mean, really, you know,

01:12:09.532 --> 01:12:10.472
Sheldon just switched BC

01:12:10.492 --> 01:12:11.153
and Syracuse here.

01:12:11.653 --> 01:12:12.493
Yeah, that's it.

01:12:12.894 --> 01:12:13.494
All right.

01:12:13.514 --> 01:12:13.894
Week 12.

01:12:15.615 --> 01:12:17.236
By process of elimination, you know,

01:12:17.276 --> 01:12:18.037
I got Miami.

01:12:19.297 --> 01:12:20.178
Road trip to Miami.

01:12:20.418 --> 01:12:20.538
Yep.

01:12:20.558 --> 01:12:21.719
All right.

01:12:22.039 --> 01:12:22.499
Miami.

01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:24.060
Tally's Miami.

01:12:24.540 --> 01:12:24.820
Pop.

01:12:26.841 --> 01:12:27.722
Sheldon finally gets Georgia

01:12:27.762 --> 01:12:28.222
Tech in there.

01:12:28.823 --> 01:12:29.603
Georgia Tech.

01:12:29.943 --> 01:12:30.143
Well,

01:12:30.183 --> 01:12:31.504
that would make it a home and home

01:12:31.584 --> 01:12:31.904
finish.

01:12:32.364 --> 01:12:33.505
So that would be an upside

01:12:33.525 --> 01:12:34.826
to taking Georgia Tech there.

01:12:36.287 --> 01:12:37.787
I just want Miami later in the year.

01:12:39.108 --> 01:12:40.369
And there's a reason.

01:12:41.158 --> 01:12:42.278
I want Miami later in the year.

01:12:42.678 --> 01:12:43.599
Usually by this point,

01:12:43.639 --> 01:12:45.359
Miami has shown all their flaws,

01:12:45.619 --> 01:12:46.419
and you can figure out a

01:12:46.439 --> 01:12:47.680
way to get under their skin,

01:12:47.720 --> 01:12:49.240
and they will do something stupid,

01:12:49.660 --> 01:12:50.420
and you will beat them.

01:12:51.621 --> 01:12:52.261
Early in the season,

01:12:52.301 --> 01:12:53.561
sometimes they're still locked in.

01:12:53.601 --> 01:12:55.882
By the way, leads down to two.

01:12:58.182 --> 01:12:58.962
Don't talk about it, man.

01:12:59.222 --> 01:13:01.683
Just – It's right here.

01:13:01.703 --> 01:13:03.103
What am I supposed to do?

01:13:03.223 --> 01:13:04.504
I'm looking at – All righty.

01:13:04.904 --> 01:13:05.144
So –

01:13:07.054 --> 01:13:09.816
There is sort of our perfect schedule,

01:13:11.517 --> 01:13:15.039
which has effectively, as of today,

01:13:16.300 --> 01:13:17.301
we can't have the perfect

01:13:17.321 --> 01:13:18.782
schedules anymore.

01:13:19.102 --> 01:13:20.043
Anybody listed out there,

01:13:20.083 --> 01:13:21.604
who got the best perfect schedule here?

01:13:22.384 --> 01:13:23.185
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:23.925 --> 01:13:24.726
Put in the comments.

01:13:24.746 --> 01:13:25.346
Put in the chat.

01:13:25.366 --> 01:13:26.307
Throw a comment out there.

01:13:26.327 --> 01:13:27.147
Tell me who got the best

01:13:27.388 --> 01:13:28.048
perfect schedule here.

01:13:28.068 --> 01:13:30.169
Which schedule do y'all like best?

01:13:30.650 --> 01:13:34.893
Just remember Duke, Stanford, Syracuse,

01:13:35.153 --> 01:13:36.794
and Miami are away.

01:13:38.266 --> 01:13:38.466
All right.

01:13:38.986 --> 01:13:40.547
So I know we didn't get it.

01:13:40.627 --> 01:13:41.728
I should have sent you the

01:13:41.768 --> 01:13:44.009
graphic that they pulled out today.

01:13:44.069 --> 01:13:44.989
But obviously,

01:13:45.049 --> 01:13:46.710
if you haven't been paying attention,

01:13:47.851 --> 01:13:50.212
some of the primetime weekday games,

01:13:50.252 --> 01:13:51.333
especially the Thursday and

01:13:51.373 --> 01:13:54.274
Friday night games that ACC

01:13:54.314 --> 01:13:56.115
teams will be involved in were announced.

01:13:56.855 --> 01:13:58.656
And the first one is week five.

01:13:58.696 --> 01:14:00.157
We have to go to Miami.

01:14:02.038 --> 01:14:02.298
All right.

01:14:05.091 --> 01:14:06.232
If we don't have them late,

01:14:06.332 --> 01:14:07.153
I want them first.

01:14:07.293 --> 01:14:10.215
So that's the only upside that I get here.

01:14:11.055 --> 01:14:12.136
But here's what I don't like.

01:14:12.897 --> 01:14:14.318
A, it's going to be a short week.

01:14:15.959 --> 01:14:18.361
B, we are playing physical-ass Rutgers.

01:14:19.402 --> 01:14:21.283
Everybody that knows Greg Sciano,

01:14:21.323 --> 01:14:22.044
that has watched him,

01:14:22.204 --> 01:14:22.764
that is going to be a

01:14:22.864 --> 01:14:23.865
physical football game.

01:14:23.905 --> 01:14:25.166
It was a physical football

01:14:25.186 --> 01:14:26.567
game in Piscataway last year.

01:14:27.127 --> 01:14:27.488
It was.

01:14:28.490 --> 01:14:29.530
It's a lot of hard hitting.

01:14:29.971 --> 01:14:31.771
So we're going to say that

01:14:31.791 --> 01:14:32.912
we're going to play that game.

01:14:33.232 --> 01:14:34.352
We're going to have a short week.

01:14:34.732 --> 01:14:36.313
It's a Miami travel date.

01:14:36.533 --> 01:14:37.594
So you know it takes a

01:14:37.614 --> 01:14:38.954
significantly longer time.

01:14:39.634 --> 01:14:40.555
That's about a seven or

01:14:40.595 --> 01:14:42.195
eight hour flight down there,

01:14:43.396 --> 01:14:44.036
give or take.

01:14:45.377 --> 01:14:46.697
So basically,

01:14:47.257 --> 01:14:49.178
it really screws up prepping

01:14:49.278 --> 01:14:50.038
for that game.

01:14:50.559 --> 01:14:52.319
That's why I do not like

01:14:52.379 --> 01:14:54.280
that there at all.

01:14:57.887 --> 01:14:58.287
I get it.

01:14:59.428 --> 01:14:59.829
I get it.

01:15:01.290 --> 01:15:03.312
But, you know,

01:15:03.472 --> 01:15:06.034
if I've got to not have them

01:15:06.094 --> 01:15:07.636
at the end sometime in November,

01:15:07.696 --> 01:15:09.277
either kind of that week 11,

01:15:09.277 --> 01:15:11.479
week 12 range, I want them early.

01:15:12.220 --> 01:15:13.841
I want to make a statement

01:15:13.942 --> 01:15:16.364
that we beat Miami.

01:15:18.546 --> 01:15:20.227
Put the ACC on notice a little bit.

01:15:21.088 --> 01:15:22.469
No, that would be the big piece.

01:15:22.509 --> 01:15:24.131
If you go down there and you stomp them,

01:15:26.115 --> 01:15:27.816
it's a statement across the

01:15:27.856 --> 01:15:29.237
college football landscape, right?

01:15:30.878 --> 01:15:31.058
Right.

01:15:31.778 --> 01:15:32.739
Of course you go because

01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:34.019
Robbie said yours.

01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:37.601
He likes the later season one.

01:15:38.822 --> 01:15:41.223
So on that, throw that other one up there.

01:15:41.843 --> 01:15:42.844
I just want to address it.

01:15:43.684 --> 01:15:45.005
The one right below that, Brian,

01:15:45.025 --> 01:15:46.105
you got your finger on the button.

01:15:47.546 --> 01:15:48.046
First of all,

01:15:48.066 --> 01:15:49.507
the incoming QB portal

01:15:49.527 --> 01:15:53.449
transfers give us about four months.

01:15:54.656 --> 01:15:55.616
Because you've got to see

01:15:55.656 --> 01:15:56.997
how things go through spring.

01:15:57.357 --> 01:15:58.278
There have been times where

01:15:58.298 --> 01:15:59.458
a portal quarterback comes in.

01:15:59.498 --> 01:16:00.318
He's going to be the starter.

01:16:00.358 --> 01:16:01.139
And the next thing you know,

01:16:01.179 --> 01:16:02.439
they're benched and they're leaving.

01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:06.001
It's so early in that process.

01:16:06.561 --> 01:16:07.781
And obviously, Brian,

01:16:07.822 --> 01:16:09.422
we will be taking looks at

01:16:09.522 --> 01:16:12.363
whoever we play throughout the year.

01:16:12.704 --> 01:16:14.164
You know, every week we know the enemy.

01:16:14.204 --> 01:16:15.965
We discuss all the players

01:16:17.085 --> 01:16:18.406
and potentially what they're doing.

01:16:18.874 --> 01:16:19.274
Yeah, I mean,

01:16:19.294 --> 01:16:20.295
I think you got to look at

01:16:20.755 --> 01:16:21.675
some of those guys,

01:16:21.735 --> 01:16:22.575
especially I think Haynes

01:16:22.595 --> 01:16:23.436
King is going to be the guy

01:16:23.456 --> 01:16:24.256
that you keep an eye on.

01:16:24.296 --> 01:16:25.316
I feel like he's going to

01:16:25.336 --> 01:16:25.976
be... Second year, though.

01:16:27.277 --> 01:16:28.517
I guess you still consider Portal, though,

01:16:28.557 --> 01:16:28.777
right?

01:16:29.198 --> 01:16:29.478
Yeah.

01:16:34.339 --> 01:16:35.100
Yeah, I mean...

01:16:36.539 --> 01:16:37.720
It's going to be interesting

01:16:37.760 --> 01:16:38.901
because they weren't on our

01:16:38.921 --> 01:16:39.561
schedule this year,

01:16:39.581 --> 01:16:41.303
so I still consider him a first-time,

01:16:41.323 --> 01:16:43.204
and he's going to be the de

01:16:43.224 --> 01:16:44.125
facto starter there.

01:16:44.205 --> 01:16:46.686
So you consider him.

01:16:47.307 --> 01:16:48.047
It's going to be interesting

01:16:48.068 --> 01:16:49.348
to see what some of those

01:16:49.388 --> 01:16:52.211
other incoming guys will do this year.

01:16:53.111 --> 01:16:56.173
But not playing Georgia Tech last year,

01:16:56.213 --> 01:16:56.414
really,

01:16:56.454 --> 01:16:58.195
for the first time in a very long time.

01:16:59.156 --> 01:17:00.336
We didn't get to see what

01:17:00.377 --> 01:17:02.098
King looked like up close and personal.

01:17:02.557 --> 01:17:03.878
Yeah, and I mean, you've got like,

01:17:03.898 --> 01:17:05.298
you know, you think about down in Miami,

01:17:05.318 --> 01:17:06.679
you've got like a Cam Ward.

01:17:07.119 --> 01:17:08.319
You fully expect him to win

01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:11.100
that job and things like that.

01:17:11.160 --> 01:17:11.540
But again,

01:17:11.841 --> 01:17:13.641
I want to hear stories out of

01:17:13.681 --> 01:17:14.322
spring practice.

01:17:14.342 --> 01:17:15.442
I want to see spring games.

01:17:15.462 --> 01:17:16.422
I want to see highlights.

01:17:16.462 --> 01:17:17.243
I want to see how they're

01:17:17.323 --> 01:17:18.943
gelling before we get into that.

01:17:19.403 --> 01:17:20.124
All right, Brian,

01:17:20.164 --> 01:17:21.344
let's go to the second game

01:17:21.364 --> 01:17:23.685
that we absolutely are guaranteed to know,

01:17:23.765 --> 01:17:26.086
and that is going to be October 17th,

01:17:27.246 --> 01:17:27.647
B.C.

01:17:27.707 --> 01:17:28.607
on a Thursday night.

01:17:30.808 --> 01:17:30.948
Hmm.

01:17:33.160 --> 01:17:34.382
I love a Thursday night.

01:17:34.462 --> 01:17:35.783
I don't like that it's BC.

01:17:36.564 --> 01:17:36.784
Yep.

01:17:38.046 --> 01:17:38.967
There's a couple reasons.

01:17:38.987 --> 01:17:39.527
Number one,

01:17:39.547 --> 01:17:40.989
I think we're going to beat

01:17:41.009 --> 01:17:42.210
BC's ass anyway.

01:17:42.831 --> 01:17:44.913
But number two is that the times we didn't,

01:17:45.434 --> 01:17:46.395
I feel like it was always

01:17:46.415 --> 01:17:47.616
like a Thursday night game.

01:17:47.636 --> 01:17:48.838
That's the way it always felt.

01:17:48.858 --> 01:17:50.520
It did.

01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:51.581
It always felt like, I mean.

01:17:52.716 --> 01:17:53.637
Don't talk about,

01:17:54.398 --> 01:17:55.641
if you ever walk into Main

01:17:55.681 --> 01:17:56.422
Street Pharmacy,

01:17:57.043 --> 01:17:59.207
do not mention 2007 to Jeremy.

01:17:59.487 --> 01:18:00.690
He will probably immediately

01:18:00.750 --> 01:18:01.431
kick you out of the

01:18:01.471 --> 01:18:03.174
pharmacy and not allow back in.

01:18:05.693 --> 01:18:07.595
But it almost sets up.

01:18:07.615 --> 01:18:08.836
And then he will burn a

01:18:08.956 --> 01:18:10.277
effigy of Matt Ryan.

01:18:10.397 --> 01:18:10.957
Yes, he will.

01:18:11.478 --> 01:18:12.218
And that's okay.

01:18:12.338 --> 01:18:13.239
That's perfectly fine.

01:18:13.619 --> 01:18:15.901
But seeing where that game is on the 17th,

01:18:15.981 --> 01:18:18.523
it basically is saying the week before,

01:18:19.804 --> 01:18:22.025
basically week seven will

01:18:22.065 --> 01:18:22.606
be the bye week.

01:18:23.126 --> 01:18:24.147
So Curtis, you got one right.

01:18:24.547 --> 01:18:25.208
I got one right.

01:18:25.288 --> 01:18:26.208
More than likely.

01:18:26.609 --> 01:18:27.089
More than likely.

01:18:27.149 --> 01:18:28.890
I hope I get the Stanford one right.

01:18:29.971 --> 01:18:30.532
Because...

01:18:31.570 --> 01:18:33.391
I think we all kind of looked and said,

01:18:33.451 --> 01:18:34.813
listen, we travel across country.

01:18:34.913 --> 01:18:36.614
You want that bye week to come afterwards.

01:18:37.094 --> 01:18:38.135
Regardless.

01:18:38.295 --> 01:18:39.056
So Curtis is saying,

01:18:39.096 --> 01:18:40.036
go ahead and get them long

01:18:40.076 --> 01:18:41.237
trips out of the way first

01:18:41.377 --> 01:18:42.879
and then get your bye and

01:18:42.919 --> 01:18:44.120
then figure the rest of it out.

01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:46.101
And then come play BC.

01:18:46.261 --> 01:18:47.782
And then hopefully after BC,

01:18:47.842 --> 01:18:49.464
who do we hope still next week?

01:18:49.784 --> 01:18:50.204
Clemson.

01:18:50.564 --> 01:18:50.885
Clemson.

01:18:51.795 --> 01:18:54.496
And that would be, let's see, 26.

01:18:54.937 --> 01:18:57.278
So y'all are actually right

01:18:57.438 --> 01:19:00.099
on top of it with that.

01:19:00.639 --> 01:19:02.080
So it'll be interesting.

01:19:02.120 --> 01:19:06.202
The full schedule comes out tomorrow.

01:19:06.222 --> 01:19:08.683
I think it's 530 on ACC Network.

01:19:09.304 --> 01:19:11.005
Obviously, we'll be back in a couple weeks,

01:19:11.045 --> 01:19:11.705
and we're going to

01:19:11.765 --> 01:19:13.066
obviously break that thing down,

01:19:13.126 --> 01:19:13.526
I'm sure.

01:19:13.546 --> 01:19:15.907
And more than likely have a full boat.

01:19:18.951 --> 01:19:19.471
Hopefully.

01:19:19.791 --> 01:19:21.011
I want my boys back.

01:19:21.031 --> 01:19:22.252
I want everybody in here.

01:19:23.592 --> 01:19:26.512
Hokie's up five with under three to go.

01:19:28.193 --> 01:19:29.773
One of the white kids with

01:19:29.793 --> 01:19:31.653
the headband just took a jump shot.

01:19:31.713 --> 01:19:32.693
He's not the one that looks

01:19:32.733 --> 01:19:33.754
like he plays at the Y. He

01:19:33.834 --> 01:19:34.894
actually looks physically

01:19:34.914 --> 01:19:35.754
like – You said half their

01:19:35.774 --> 01:19:36.574
team looks like they play

01:19:36.594 --> 01:19:38.795
at the Y. I didn't say that.

01:19:39.215 --> 01:19:40.395
I was elsewhere.

01:19:40.395 --> 01:19:42.515
45 definitely looks like he

01:19:42.555 --> 01:19:43.335
plays at the Y.

01:19:44.436 --> 01:19:45.796
12 doesn't because 12 is like 6'8".

01:19:47.845 --> 01:19:48.666
45 looks like he's like 6'2".

01:19:48.706 --> 01:19:50.547
So, yeah.

01:19:51.147 --> 01:19:51.327
All right.

01:19:51.568 --> 01:19:52.948
Anything breaking here, Brian,

01:19:53.008 --> 01:19:56.090
as we finish this program

01:19:56.130 --> 01:19:57.351
and as we finish this game?

01:19:58.192 --> 01:19:59.112
I think we're good, man.

01:19:59.873 --> 01:20:00.493
All righty.

01:20:00.553 --> 01:20:00.733
Well,

01:20:00.773 --> 01:20:03.055
that does wrap up this episode of the

01:20:03.135 --> 01:20:04.316

Jason about to take a team

01:20:45.294 --> 01:20:48.857
to the city tournament there, Brian.

01:20:49.777 --> 01:20:50.538
Oh, yeah.

01:20:50.578 --> 01:20:51.399
I think he said he's trying

01:20:51.419 --> 01:20:53.240
to go five of nine in titles,

01:20:53.941 --> 01:20:55.422
which with Jason's team is

01:20:55.462 --> 01:20:56.203
probably going to happen.

01:20:56.223 --> 01:20:56.784
So, Jason,

01:20:56.804 --> 01:20:57.945
I don't know if you're out there

01:20:57.985 --> 01:20:59.286
listening tonight or if you're sleeping.

01:20:59.346 --> 01:21:01.468
Best of luck on the weekend on that.

01:21:07.453 --> 01:21:08.394
All right.

We thank you always out
