00:03:00
Speaker 5: We got breaking news.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: We got breaking news.

00:03:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank god opened my phone.

00:03:04
Speaker 2: Is this actually a big news?

00:03:05
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well for what we've talked about on yesterday's shows. In college football, Nebraska just fired John Butler, the defensive coordinator. This happened like, as I'm looking at it now, three hours ago, right, I'm seeing it go, I'm seeing it going everything.

00:03:18
Speaker 2: It happened three hours ago on a Monday. So when you're watching this, You're like, this is fucking old newsboys, What are you talking about? That's how shows work when you record him. Shut up and listen.

00:03:26
Speaker 6: One year is that correct?

00:03:28
Speaker 5: One year will now be looking coach will be looking for his third decordinator in three years. So we had Tony White for two or right, I don't know how long is Oh yeah, rule, you're one and two is Tony White? Your three was John Butler? So going into year four will be looking for the third DC.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: What's going through your head? Is this a good move?

00:03:46
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think it's the right move. I look, look, I hate people getting fired all that stuff, but just looking at Nebraska football all that, like we clearly were not we were not that good on defense. Yeah, We're clearly not that good on defense. And I'm not on the inside to know all of that stuff. I never, like, if I'm on phones with coaches or if on phones on people from the inside, I'm never looking to like, hey, what is your opinion of this guy? I think he's kind of blah blah blah. I'm never like doing that, So I didn't necessarily know like what it was like, is it talent? Is it scheme? It's like it was popping up whenever you guys, you know, banged your head three times without getting touched on the explosives, and then those continue to happen. If I'm thinking just run scheme, run fit, it feels like we're just not dialed in in the front seven and the way we just got gashed all year in the running game. You know, you sitt there again without having like this strong and we should do this, we should do that. It's like, I'm wondering, what's gonna happen, because if your coach rule and you got again, you get the extension talked about it, You're gonna have to make hard decisions at the at the end of the year. I'm sure he did the self the self evaluations of everything and thought like, hey, we gotta we gotta make a move here, so we'll see what happens.

00:04:53
Speaker 2: The shitty part is is I mean, I don't think it's actually shitty. Like these coaches they sign up for these types of things, so like, yeah, we can do the for his family, sad for all this, but like at the end of the day, like you have to either produce or you don't produce. For his job, he obviously was not producing for all the reasons you said, But in our reaction show that we shot yesterday, it really turns into the chessboard that needs to take place for Nebraska to be a truly competitive team next year. So to me, this is a great move, like, hey, wasn't good enough. Got to move on, go find our guy immediately because we got to get in that transfer portal to go get these defensive players to be a competitive defense in the Big Ten who for the large majority everybody wants to run the football effectively.

00:05:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was one move in my head of if this domino falls, then it's like, all right, we're looking at ourselves closely enough to feel like, where's the you know, where's the like a regression, where's the where's somebody kind of taking us down from that standard a little bit. If I'm looking at defensively, just what we put on tape, especially as of late, but all year long, defense was definitely one where I'm like, fuck man, it just doesn't seem like a kind of you know, when he came he came from the Buffalo Bills. I think he's a secondary coach. He's like a back seven guy. And when you're getting gashed like that in the run all your long. It's like, all right, that we just don't we don't have a guy who's insanely dialed towards your h your assignment sound, it's pissed, it's vinegar, its mentality, it's beating the man in front of you. Having the right structure to kind of set up and allow your guys to play with the with the right eyes, with the right vision, with the right feet, with the right striking, the right violence. All that stuff jumped out. I am glad that we.

00:06:28
Speaker 2: Are, that we made the onward and upward voice onward and upward. Because we sat here and we talked about this is the first time we've kind of done the show where I look at Nebraska in the postseason, Well, there's not really a hat to hang on about, like feeling good about the upcoming year, already making moves. Yeah, So where we can sit there when the portal opens up January second, go through that six seven day process, however long it is, maybe a couple of weeks. Yeah, I say six to seven quite a bit. I just realized, all right, because you guys are always hitting this anyway, you're setting yourself up to have that optimism in the first quarter of twenty six. Yeah, so that's exciting.

00:07:05
Speaker 5: And by the way, six seven I still don't really know what that is.

00:07:08
Speaker 2: No one does, No one does, even the kids. It's so funny.

00:07:11
Speaker 5: It's just a reaction. It's just you hear six seven, let's react to it, right.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: Basically, my tailor was given the whole like, that's so dumb that the kids do this, Like we never did shit like that. I'm thinking myself, Yes we did.

00:07:23
Speaker 6: There's always been a six seven.

00:07:25
Speaker 2: Always been a six to seven. It's just how generations want to do different shit.

00:07:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, but now we get to kind of kill it because I want to see the college football Playoff committee that guy who kind of did the six seven. It's like, okay, that's that's where we kind of can start to kill this joke. Yeah, yeah, because it's in the wrong hands. Now, we're not laughing about this.

00:07:41
Speaker 2: Anytime adults over the age of what thirty start doing it. Let's just say forty start doing that. It'say, buddy, hang it up. Like at some point you have to accept that you're no longer the cool generation. Move on. I'm thirty four. I sit there and I'm like, my social media life ends with Instagram and Twitter. I still call it Twitter, And once the next thing comes up, I'm just gonna be like, I'm bound out. I'm bowing out.

00:08:06
Speaker 6: Kids sitting in front of me.

00:08:07
Speaker 7: The Titans game yesterday, I'm not exaggerating, was hitting the six seven more than he was not.

00:08:13
Speaker 6: And I was there the whole game.

00:08:16
Speaker 7: And I was just like, and his What what made me laugh though, is his dad was just like, I don't know if he was just completely like just numb to to this point.

00:08:23
Speaker 6: He probably is.

00:08:24
Speaker 7: It's probably just constantly going at the house, but like he's just allowing it.

00:08:28
Speaker 6: It's just the whole time, he's just sitting there like like.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: This dog that dads. The kids are few years ago, kids are just freaking out. Then the fucking whatever what is this thing called gritty? Oh yeah, I'm glad you picked that up. It's like there's always some ship going down.

00:08:44
Speaker 8: Our generation was the every day I'm shuffling. It felt like and Soldier Boy crank that Soldier.

00:08:50
Speaker 2: Boy and Yola the Superman was a big and the Yolo thing to me, I was like, this is.

00:08:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, but lean with the rock with it, you know what.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: I'm into that, hey cause he through the phone.

So she goes upstairs and cants change real quick, comes down with the hoodie has the hood on over head, and she goes, hey, Dad, kind of like lean starts of I'm like, dude, you're the fucking best. So I let us sit in the front seat, and so we rolled over the tree lot front seat. Bad dad, move, but I did it anyway? Have your kids sit in the front seat.

00:10:31
Speaker 5: I think.

00:10:33
Speaker 2: I think you gotta be six seven, have to be. But I think it's a height. Yeah, it's an age or a height thing or a weight thing as well, because it has to hit you in the chest. But we go weird doing a couple of blocks away, and there's nothing cooler to a kid nighttime ride, like when you know what's you and you're just ripping and we're like talking. I'm like, hey, I might get a truck. She's like, Oh, what kind of truck are you geting? I was like, I think I'm gonna get the wrap there.

I'm like, hey, it's I kind of think it's cool when girls drive trucks. I don't know why. And she goes, yeah, I'm gonna have a black truck with flames on the side. I'm like, oh, hell yeah, dude, thinking to myself, I hope you grow out of that, but whatever, when that's when, Yeah, the oldest. So it's just dope, dude.

00:11:36
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving was incredible.

00:11:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is my favorite Thanksgiving I think we've ever had as far as like everyone kind of enjoying themselves, camaraderie, the everyone visiting, like you're kind of jumping from group to group.

00:11:50
Speaker 5: A plus bread, yeah, a plus gaming. Werewolf there at the end. It was. It was a plus. It was a plus thanksgiving me like a fiddle. Oh I did?

00:12:02
Speaker 6: He did?

00:12:02
Speaker 9: Man, he definitely he got me because I I was the seer and I'm like, because I don't I don't know how to quite operate if I am the seer, because he'll be like, I know this person's not it, but because then the wherewelse are going to kill you?

00:12:15
Speaker 1: Next?

00:12:16
Speaker 9: So I'm like, hey, I checked Dave, just literally just shaking my head, and I was.

00:12:21
Speaker 5: Like, I bet I checked this person next.

00:12:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, And then so I'd be like you because.

00:12:26
Speaker 5: Mitch and I had a game before that where we were both villagers, so we were kind of we had kind of the bond going.

00:12:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I trust I made the mistake and trusted Will, and he just played me like a fiddle. Next round, next round, like or I got out and I'm like, who, why would they have gotten me?

00:12:42
Speaker 5: And then say where wolves wake up? And I just look over.

00:12:45
Speaker 9: At you and then I uh like Will got out and like this motherfucker.

00:12:50
Speaker 6: I was so pissed off.

00:12:52
Speaker 2: Dude, Will kind of got me on one do. I started to sniff it out a little bit, but I didn't didn't trust my instincts of we started around and Will was a werewolf. But Will immediately is like playing like buddy buddy with me, like we're boys the same round, and I'm I'm starting to think like, oh sweet, like we're on the same team. But then a piece of me like I think it went into the second round brought up like the way people are killing. It's like, well, this is like Will in town. I'm I'm thinking, yeah, he's right, like that is kind of you would go and get somebody that no one's really comfortable with that knowing kill Ryan's sister right away, which which is a smart move because like then the fingers start getting pointed at who's most comfortable Ryan's sister, and then you get Mike next, and I'm thinking to myself, yeah, that would be a move we would make. So I'm starting to look at Will like, oh, how am I starting to trust you? But yeah, and then you start and then Will and Tailing start getting everybody. Taylor is like, yeah, I think Taylor might be the guy too, and I'm it started like click in my head like oh, I think this is the Will is a werewolf and maybe Taylor as well. But by that time I was too far gone to people were turned on me. So I get killed to Photadelphia Island on my house. This field guys, and I'm the pedestrian, the villager, and we'll go stick around. You'll find who the well we'll were wolves are on a second and everyone goes to sleep and it's where wolves wake up. And Will just goes and looks at me, and I'm like and I look over and it's Tailor, and I'm like, these motherfuckers. I sniffed them. I had them. I just was too late. It was a good move. It was nice, it was fun.

00:14:26
Speaker 1: It was fun.

00:14:26
Speaker 5: It was a fun night, fun day.

00:14:28
Speaker 2: Matt's dad and I we just went over there, like twenty thirty minutes, bonded over gout. He went through it.

00:14:34
Speaker 5: He was everybody bonded with Matt's dad.

00:14:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt's dad is the man, dude, John Big J J Train, yea J Train, that's what they call him, Jay Train.

00:14:44
Speaker 5: They're telling those stories on their son Mad that he came out of the Moomies a little sideways. Yeah, yeah, just stretch them out. He's screaming.

00:14:50
Speaker 9: You're about to get a text from I know.

00:14:52
Speaker 5: They're like, don't say this. On the pod.

00:14:55
Speaker 1: I won't.

00:14:55
Speaker 9: It was so funny because I won't.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: Here we are.

00:14:57
Speaker 9: The Malones were just like as much as we kind of dig on Matt, like in like a loving way, like they were kind of doing the same thing.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they were bodying Mat a little bit. It's kind of nice, Like.

00:15:09
Speaker 5: You tell me he's going to the NHL, and buddy, what are you talking about. You ain't going to the NHL. You ain't got the skill, you ain't got the size. And he just telling me, I swear to god, He's like, look at you now.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: That's so funny. But yeah, Thanksgiving was awesome. Yeah, it was. It was a good time.

00:15:25
Speaker 5: Man.

00:15:25
Speaker 2: Foul was there. Foul I think he handled himself really well.

00:15:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys, I was.

00:15:30
Speaker 2: I was racking my brain before they showed up because Mitch and Foul are usually the first people to show up, which is awesome, But before they got there, I'm like, how am I going to act around Foul? Because last time I saw him he was like acting like we didn't know each other. Was so weird, so weird. So I thought, oh, maybe I'll do a bit where it's like hey are we boys? Like who are you and I decided I'm not even gonna play into that at all. Thanksgiving Wills have fun and Foul showed up, but he was totally normal. I'm like, I guess you must have given him talking.

00:15:57
Speaker 9: Yeah, when we were driving over, I'm like, hey, like you need to DAPT tailor up give him just like the most over the top DAP, like, hey, nice to see, Like, yeah, I apologize for being weird last time, and he didn't. I don't think I wouldn't assume that he apologize.

00:16:12
Speaker 5: What happened, dude?

00:16:13
Speaker 2: When we were at the Titans watch party at the Cardinals, like we go, we do the thing, and we go up to the lit Larry the little bowling area, and Foul walks up to me and kind of acts like we don't know each other, Like I think he reintroduced himself or he did something weird.

00:16:28
Speaker 1: He shook your hand.

00:16:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, he shook my hand like introducing himself for like talking like we're just meaning for the first time. And in my brain I'm like, bro, is this foul? But the way he's acting, I'm like, this must not be foul, must be like a doppelgamer. And so I kind of walk away and then Mitch is walking by.

00:16:40
Speaker 9: Hey, you called? You called me over. I'm like, hey, come here.

00:16:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, you know, is that Foul? And he's like yeah. I'm like that was the weirdest interaction I've ever had, because I've met him numerous a bunch of times. Yeah, like we're friends.

00:16:52
Speaker 9: Now he's been at your house.

00:16:53
Speaker 2: Been in my house multiple years in a row. And the way he was asking me, I was like, that was so odd. And Mitch was like, yeah, I'll get down the bottom with that's fucking weird.

00:17:03
Speaker 9: You walked Away'm like, what the fuck was that?

00:17:05
Speaker 2: I was just like it was so odd, But yeah, we were fine, and he and I sat down to and I didn't realize he was the Susquehanna as well played football there. It all comes back down to that he's dating a girl he was about to move to Pittsburgh correct Philly and breaks up with the girls with the moving with her, and so that's he calls Mitch and he's like, Yo, what's Nashville? Like it was like, nash was awesome, you should come down here. And that's essentially what got Foul to move to Nashville because he wasn't taking the job in Philly.

00:17:31
Speaker 9: I'm the reason he moved down here, but he refuses.

00:17:33
Speaker 6: To say that.

00:17:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh he said that to me, so you'll have that. I guess this is word of mouth, but I'm just letting you know. So it was. It was nice, man. It was a good hangout, good everything food, I know. But the baby, Jilly Bean, she was able to come. She got off work early.

00:17:50
Speaker 5: That was big time. That was big time.

00:17:52
Speaker 8: That whole evening or afternoon into evening was so much fun.

00:17:58
Speaker 5: Much needed.

00:17:59
Speaker 8: Loved that at both Ryan and Matt brought their family.

00:18:04
Speaker 5: It was so much fun.

00:18:05
Speaker 8: Getting to talk to Ryan's mom like that was.

00:18:07
Speaker 5: That was the highlight.

00:18:08
Speaker 8: She's a sweet She was holding court at the end of the table, making us laugh, telling us stories about when Ryan was a baby. He would run a room with those baby blues. I'd bring him in there and Ryan's just sitting there like mom. It is incredible.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: Her and I were talking about just kids and the kids are ripping around like Delaney and Ernest's kid. What's his fucking r ryman, He's like wrestling me on the ground. Then HAPs coming over here and I are wrestling Wind comes over, slaps me on the button, runs away and I go, hey, do you ever miss the being this age? She deep best. She's like, not at all. I don't miss it at all. Oh really, this is Awestra. I love this and she starts going into the relationship with her and her kids. They seem like they have a great family dynamic.

00:18:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:18:57
Speaker 2: The sister was awesome, very nice. Yeah yeah, super sweet. So yeah, great Thanksgiving, Jack, How was your Thanksgiving? You went to Atlanta?

00:19:05
Speaker 5: It was great. Yeah.

00:19:05
Speaker 7: I went visiting my sister and her husband.

00:19:07
Speaker 5: There are two kids on Atlanta.

00:19:09
Speaker 7: My brother in law's basketball coach for Gwinnett College Georgia. Gwinnett College is what it's called. They have kind of a busy season at the moment, so we went down there, tried to alleviate some of their traveling. I had but the best, you know, standard Thanksgiving. Everything was great, hung out with the family.

00:19:26
Speaker 2: Watch football, did all that cool stuff. But my oldest niece.

00:19:31
Speaker 7: Just turned three yesterday. Actually, happy Blady.

00:19:33
Speaker 6: Birthday is he.

00:19:35
Speaker 7: This was the first time because she lives in a different state where I felt like I like made a breakthrough with her.

00:19:40
Speaker 6: She it didn't take like.

00:19:42
Speaker 7: That kind of twelve hour eighteen hour periods where she starts to acknowledge, Oh, I'm your uncle or you're my uncle.

00:19:49
Speaker 5: You know we're cool.

00:19:51
Speaker 7: I don't have to have my mom close to me if we're going to be around, and I think she's honestly exiting her terrible twos. And then my sister sent me this video when I had gotten back from Asheville on Friday, and it was just like a secret video of filming my knees and she was just like essentially saying that she loved me a lot and she missed me, and I was like, man, that's that's really all I ever wanted.

00:20:13
Speaker 5: And then my.

00:20:13
Speaker 7: Youngest niece, Quinn, is like running around now talking and kind of gibberish. But felt like I made a really big breakthrough with my nieces, which felt good, and just hanging with the family is always good.

00:20:23
Speaker 6: So yeah, good good and.

00:20:25
Speaker 2: Somebody else's kid to like really buy into you, it's such a great feeling. And like I felt like I kind of had that with Rue this weekend when she came over, Like she came over and apparently she was like really excited to see Willow.

00:20:35
Speaker 5: Will talks about it. She talks about winning Willow like driving over, she gets all excited. Like even the next day, we're dropping off. She made she baked cookies for a couple of her friends. She went like dropped him off. But she's like even trigger treat going drop himself off, going around people. She she she is super shy where she won't talk at first. I'm just like, hey, sweetheart, you gotta you just strong, have a big smile on your face. So when she got in and when she hadn't seen Will, yeah, but Win comes over and Win's talking to her.

I'm looking at her room. Hey do you want me to take you up there? So he's just me and Rue and then we get like the first set of stairs and there's like a little horse she wants to ride the horse. So I take the horse upstairs with us, and it's just me and her, and she's like getting more comfortable. She's asking questions about the horse, how the horse works. It's like, what's this's like we gotta pump, like you gotta pump they like get it to move. And then she's going she's like going straight to the walls, like no, you gotta direct yourself. And so we're having fun. Then I take her upstairs to the attic area, and all the kids, like Natalie. Her oldest son, Cato kid is ten out of ten, twelve year old, like he is very he includes all the other kids. He's right up playing with all of them. I always praise my children, like being really good with younger kids, and so like all the kids kind of stop. I introduced Rue. She's very uncomfortable at first, so I'm like showing her the dolls, say if you want to play by yourself, you can kind of this is your little area. But I left her up there for a minute and she was just having a fucking blast.

00:22:18
Speaker 5: Yeah. Then by the end of it, the damn horse too. Like when it's it's beyond bedtime or whatever, kids are kind of breaking down a little bit. I see Rue crying in the hallway and she's got like her she's got her waters, she's drinking her water and she's just crying and she's like pumping, and it's we gotta go home.

00:22:33
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like that, that is the clearest like Christmas present from Uncle Taylor. Ever, It's gonna be one of those horses like from Uncle Taylor. The whole thing, dude. When we were playing where Wolf and Charles like doing the whole thing, uh, and then the baby Scotty's like screaming her face off. It's like everybody go to sleep, and she's still like holding court and then we wait alonger so Jar can play a couple of games. Scotty just screaming, screaming her face off, dude.

00:22:59
Speaker 9: And Ryan Ryman, I'm the way Wolf, He's the way.

Speaker 5: Everybody trying to rip with their kids and control the kids trying to play. Let's getting the way everybody go to sleep.

00:23:11
Speaker 9: He ended up like I ended up just wrestling with Ryman for a little bit and it was just jumping over me. I'm like, as long as Ernest is school with this I'm fine with it.

00:23:19
Speaker 2: Oh, bro like that that he Ryman is a boy straight up. Just say he's a menace. And I mean that in a good way. Like when I see him, we do this like little coffee bit we didn't Florida one time. I was like day, I was like, don't you take my coffee? And he like try to do it. So the minute I see him, like, got my coffee and he tries to snatch it, and then it's just him going fists all around my crotch. He's like right at the angle where he just does this and it's like thank god, it's a small target, like he is barely missing my.

00:23:45
Speaker 5: He's one of those boys. It's always like ready to fight. It's kind of like all right, Ryman, Yeah, yeah. I came over. He's trying to like wrestle and he's like you want to wrestle, and I said you can try, and uh then he kind of just went away because I was like giving him a look like I kind of don't want you to wrestle me right now.

00:24:00
Speaker 8: I love personalities like his. I saw him go up to six different people and go what are you doing, just getting like right in their face and like instigating conversation.

00:24:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was funny.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: I'll tell you who was on man is Earnest. We were playing Worldful. He had some one liners during the whole thing, and so fun He's the werewolf we don't know, and he's like, Hey, can the world just commit suicide?

00:24:23
Speaker 1: No?

00:24:23
Speaker 2: I don't think so. He's like, ah, fuck, dude, he was everybody off the game. He was on one during that game. Start doing that in old English voice, talking about killing people.

00:24:34
Speaker 6: Dude.

00:24:34
Speaker 2: During Thanksgiving, we're sitting there right after the meal and we find out that we're on the college football game, Yeah twenty six.

00:24:41
Speaker 5: Which is c if BE Ultimate Team Cards, So, which is amazing. Shout out eya Sports.

00:24:47
Speaker 2: Shout out EA sports. I'll say this, since we've started this podcast, I feel like the vision of me as a football player has kind of done this. Like people people forget about the dominance that took place all seventy seven in college in the NFL. They kind of forget, and the exact opposite has happened with Will. Like I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but like Will's trajectory of our careers, we've kind of done this in a lot of ways and it's like, Hey, how sick We're in the ultimate game. That's amazing. Yeah, but then we're both the same. We're the same as far.

00:25:24
Speaker 5: As remember how I made them feel with my play on the field, and I feel like it's finally getting the respected dessert.

00:25:32
Speaker 2: Now two time All American, three time All Big Ten, two times Big Ten Offense Linemen of the Year, and Will and I were the same. What was ninety second overall second team All Big Ten? Well, it was an eighty nine with the impact Player Star.

00:25:48
Speaker 5: People forget Man, but for the same they forget the New Year six. They forget the New Year six. Yeah, back when it was the Bowl games and you had the New Year six. The New Year six was named after my picks against the Georgia Bulldogs in twenty or thirteen. Since there's Jane one, Yeah.

00:26:05
Speaker 9: I think the crazy part is that Will Speed is in ninety one.

00:26:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, what is crazy about that?

00:26:14
Speaker 2: I think we poked enough holes in that we poked enough holes in Will's four or fives?

00:26:19
Speaker 5: What do you mean poked enough holes?

00:26:20
Speaker 2: Like that's says we keep going. It's kind of like like four five six, five six laser. It wasn't laser.

00:26:28
Speaker 5: We could call Dobson up right now.

00:26:29
Speaker 2: I know he's getting ready for the playoffs, no doubt, Dabbs, I know he's got it.

00:26:33
Speaker 5: Documented. There was a there was a young man from bond Ter missouris sitting up on the ten yard dash Nebraska records wall with a one point four to seven in a ten yard split. Who was Willy See Man?

00:26:47
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just my name's getting drug a little bit. It's just a little bit, but you know, I respect the Will's career.

00:26:54
Speaker 5: I just have gratitude that I'm on the game, no doubt. If they wanted to, as you should, put old Willy C in the game. You can get.

00:27:03
Speaker 2: Such what is not in the game.

00:27:06
Speaker 6: Hell, oh, I got it.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: We gotta do something about security on this bus.

00:27:12

Speaker 2: THEO just pops up. We're here. Hello. But yeah, man, it is dope to be in the game.

00:27:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is awesome. I don't even know how it works. Is it like you have like Ultimate Team and you open up different card packets or something like that.

00:27:28
Speaker 9: The way it works is like it's like you get these trading cards per se, like your car, your guys card. You open up a pack it's like, oh, no, ship, I got like the ninety four Will Compton Like now now like you'll have Will Compton starting next to Navarro Bowman from Penn State, and like, uh, who's like Jalen Ramsey at safety from Florida State. Like you're just it's just kind of like collecting all of like the past players and like building like the ultimate team, like the best possible team.

00:27:56
Speaker 2: And you can play or it was just like a card thing.

00:27:59
Speaker 9: No, it's so you like you take your ultimate team and go against different ultimate teams and there's like tournaments and prizes and ship that you can do. I I used to be into it for a little bit, but then it's like as soon as the game comes out, people put two three hundred dollars into the game and then they all have they automatically have the best players, and it's like it's not even fun anymore. It's like it is a it's like a big deal. So it's like it is really cool that you guys are in it.

00:28:26
Speaker 1: Let's go.

00:28:26
Speaker 2: Let's just juice me up, juices up, let's go. Man, we how we feel? Is there anything else we want to go over before we get in this awesome podcast with Diego Po.

Speaker 2: All right, boys, before you get in the interview, we're going to talk to you about a couple of things like keeping stuff safe, dude, and I'm talking about simply safe. I personally want simply safe because it's proactive. Traditional systems react after a break in. Simply safe can help stop crime before it starts. That's because simply Safe keeps your home safe with the double layer of defense. First AI cameras to take potential threats, and then live agents confront them while they are still outside your home, before they've had a chance to do any damage. They tell them on camera, and then they and that the police will be dispatched if they do not leave. You're going to going to sleep at night, You're laying your head on the pillow. You got kids, you got family, hell, you got a dog that you want to keep safe. Why not go the extra mile and go simply safe right now? It's such a good time to get simply Safe this month. Only get fifty percent off any new system. Go to Simplysafe. Dot Com forward slash busting again. That's simplysafe dot Com Forward slash bussing. There's no safe like simply Safe.

00:42:56
Speaker 2: Is thee other type of quarterback that just says whatever he wants during practice and the coaches don't say nothing to him about it.

00:43:02
Speaker 1: No, he gets in trouble, but it's almost like it doesn't matter sometimes.

00:43:06
Speaker 6: But that's like, no, I get in trouble.

00:43:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's speaking of getting in trouble. Does Clark Lee know you're here?

00:43:12
Speaker 1: Uh?

00:43:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah you guys. Uh yeah, it's like I think.

Speaker 2: You did an answer?

Speaker 5: Yeah, he's mad? You changed, dude. We're sitting here. Diegle Poppy is in the middle of an answer on why Vanderbilt should be in the playoffs over Notre Dame.

00:44:07
Speaker 6: It don't have to be just put us in. What's the guy's second ten and two in the sec? Yeah, she's a smart man. He'll crack some jokes, but at least he's smart.

00:44:21
Speaker 5: He If it comes down to you of Vandy, he ain't taking.

00:44:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it comes down to us in Notre Dame. I didn't taking Notre Dame either.

00:44:31
Speaker 2: Who wins?

00:44:31
Speaker 5: Who wins?

00:44:32
Speaker 2: Who wins in a game? Notre Dame of Vannerbelt?

00:44:34
Speaker 6: What do we all like to know? Do a playing I don't know, a.

00:44:39
Speaker 5: Plan, A top heisman contender? The other one guy that's drunk. We're just we were just shooting that. We were in the middle of the pod. I felt it happen. I was like, your name. But Diego is sitting here and answered the question talking about something. I'm not just gonna interrupt him and answer the phone. I gotta be respectful. All you want me?

00:45:13
Speaker 1: You want me to that?

00:45:15
Speaker 5: All right? Love you.

00:45:19
Speaker 6: Talk to you later.

00:45:19
Speaker 5: Brother.

00:45:23
Speaker 2: What did he call for?

00:45:24
Speaker 5: Who knows? I don't know.

00:45:26
Speaker 2: Drunk. Like, what one in the afternoon on a Monday.

00:45:29
Speaker 5: What time is it?

00:45:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like one. That is hilarious.

00:45:34
Speaker 6: Well, we're talking about you get along really well with my brothers.

00:45:39
Speaker 2: We're sitting here in the summertime. Jack walks off the bus. You go, Hey, we're going to run Tennessee at the end of this whole entire thing. This is pre season. We're gonna run it after we're done. All we have to do is win this year, and then it's a wrap from that because we're gonna have all the ni l in the entire world and we're gonna run Tennessee. You've essentially backed up your game. How does that feel? The color shot?

00:46:03
Speaker 6: Well, one, I don't know what you guys thought when I first said that, though.

00:46:07
Speaker 5: So when you walked when you left the shop and you were talking about national title all this stuff, I was like, Vandy, you about to get about to get figured out. I did not think you guys would be in the position that you're in. I didn't mind the banter of the end state stuff because I wasn't Jack. How did you guys' record end up ninety three, eight and four? Like I was like, you know, It's not like I was extremely high on Tennessee. So that that that banter us getting to watch in ESPN showing that clip while you guys are playing in that game was all time. But yeah, when you walked away from the shop, I was like, it's while you're cashing trying to cast checks. I don't think he can that they can you know, back up.

00:46:50
Speaker 2: Landed that plane? Yeah my last year check.

00:46:54
Speaker 5: Yeah he got there catching jack Z can't write like right Jackie?

00:46:57
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, he ain't got the money.

00:47:00
Speaker 1: Ye.

00:47:03
Speaker 2: My thought was, I thought you were a great runner last year, and because of that, you put yourself an opportunity to throw. This year, you developed as a thrower. I thought you got a lot a lot better at the deep BALLI you became a much more well rounded quarterback because I thought like the way you guys operated last year was like backyard football and that eventually is gonna get figured out by high flying defenses. This year, every single game you guys were in, I mean the Alabama game, you guys, we guys up early in that one.

00:47:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were up.

00:47:31
Speaker 2: You're up roaring that one. Texas seemed like it was starting to be a blowout. You guys. Everyone's saying, hey, Vanderbilt can't come from behind. You guys came from behind and almost won the whole thing, almost got the the on side kick as well. So yeah, like I did not think what happened this year, what ended up happening this year was going to happen.

00:47:47
Speaker 6: Well, I think one we got the Joe Moore Joe Moore Award winners in the locker room, so that's the best thing about it. And I think they said the tone obviously, and then that's how it just became so easy. We had the skill players all along, it was just, uh, do we have enough time to get them the ball? And this year we do.

00:48:09
Speaker 5: Even defensively, you guys have played well.

00:48:11
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, dude, our defense. They single handedly wanted the game against Missouri single handedly.

00:48:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean that was quite the bar and burner. But now we sit here.

00:48:23
Speaker 5: First, Yeah, you guys run the state of Tennessee.

00:48:27
Speaker 1: Snuck it in.

00:48:34
Speaker 5: Katie's asking you what you saying? Sorry, I said, so you guys run the state of Tennessee. Going back to tennis quecially, how's it feel knowing you called your shot?

00:48:42
Speaker 1: I think after that podcast, I had to defend us a little bit after he left, because I think I was getting the flat that that y'all wish you could have gave him when he was here. Yeah, uh no, I mean I agree with it. I agreed with it when he said it, and so I'm just glad that that it happened and everything came true that we knew was gonna Imagine if.

00:48:59
Speaker 6: It didn't, though, you know, yeah, that'd be rough. I guess we'll never know.

00:49:03
Speaker 1: I guess do you?

00:49:06
Speaker 2: So are you saying Vanderbilt runs the state of Tennessee.

00:49:09
Speaker 6: I just think like from here on out, like we have the anil money one coach Lee staying.

00:49:16
Speaker 2: Which is wild. I thought he was gonna leave, which is huge.

00:49:20
Speaker 6: And uh dude, now you're able to recruit anywhere around the country any five star, four star Like before this year, like you weren't able to bring in those prospect to games. Now you see freaking some of the biggest prospects at our football games.

00:49:35
Speaker 5: What is you?

00:49:35
Speaker 1: Are you?

00:49:36
Speaker 5: How how much do you play hand? And knowing that this is your last year play hand and recruiting some of these guys like oh yes, success or a quarterback, It's like you can't talk about Vanderbilt football over the last two years without you, without Diego Pavia, and I know that there there's talks out there of some some five star cat like flipping his commitment to come be the quarterback of Vanderbilt. Like are you ever into where you're like pitching the brand and pitching like what this place is like without you being here?

00:50:01
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I uh. I pitched it to Jared Curtis when when I got to see him on one of our bye weeks. I went to one of his games, and do that kid's arm is live.

00:50:12
Speaker 1: He is nasty.

00:50:14
Speaker 6: You guys are gonna see his kid and he's gonna take the college football world by storm. But he has to, uh he had he has to beat out Blaze. And that's what has to come down to Blaze is he's been with us in New Mexico State and two years here at Bandy. He's gonna have his shot and it's gonna be when there's competition and levels everyone up.

00:50:33
Speaker 5: You know.

00:50:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think that'll be great.

00:50:36
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, this is the kid right here.

00:50:38
Speaker 2: That's about that haircut.

00:50:40
Speaker 6: No, I haven't should we no, let him live, let him let him if he plays football good like that let him play.

00:50:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yep.

00:50:50
Speaker 5: How do you guys feel right now being positioned on the outside looking into the college footble playoff, because clearly there's chaos everywhere. You guys have a great win over the weekend against Tennessee, see the stuff going on with Like, you know, Alabama's in the SEC Championship against Georgia. Ole Miss is one loss team, just got gutted with their offensive staff. Lane going to Lane going to Ole Miss. You got yeah, yeah, Lane going to LSU. You got Texas making massive arguments now being a three loss SEC team. Who else is in that mix? It's Texas, Van Dy Miami, Miami. Yeah, you're you're You're in all these spots, Notre Dame as a two loss. You don't know what's gonna happen. Like, how do you guys feel sitting here today? Ten and two with your guys' resume.

00:51:29
Speaker 6: You gotta put us in. Yeah, there's no other ten and two set team that's not in, you know, And you look at our losses too, not saying losses are fine or whatever, but we played Texas, who beat the number three team in the nation A and M. The other night at Texas you know, and then you look at Alabama. They're in the SEC Championship like we have. We were the best two loss team in the country.

00:51:51
Speaker 1: We didn't lose at home either, Like, those are both away games that we lost in two hard environments too. I don't think there's two better losses anywhere now, these neutral fits.

00:52:00
Speaker 5: But with the two losses, who are your two losses to Texas? Alabama in Texas and so Texas's.

00:52:07
Speaker 2: Argument is we beat Vanny, So if Vanny's gonna get in, we should get should we should get in over Vandy?

00:52:12
Speaker 6: Well, Willie and say they beat A and MS, they get over A and M.

00:52:16
Speaker 5: A and M is gonna get in.

00:52:19
Speaker 6: A MS in the.

00:52:20
Speaker 5: Georgia ways, Georgia.

00:52:23
Speaker 1: Florida get in now, Like that's kind of the argument, Oh this Florida.

00:52:27
Speaker 5: I don't know if that one's gonna work.

00:52:31
Speaker 1: The head to head stuff is like if you're pinching pennies, you got it.

00:52:34
Speaker 6: I just think too, we're the hottest team right now. You go look at stats like, we're the hottest team right now in college football.

00:52:41
Speaker 2: The argument too, if you keep Texas out, is why would you ever schedule a big time game in the first part of your season. Well, like Texas lost to Ohio State, that's out of conference. State's the number one team in the country. And so Texas is not in the playoff because they played Ohio State Week one.

00:53:00
Speaker 5: They're also not in because they lost to Florida. Right when you're talking about.

00:53:03
Speaker 2: If Texas a two lost team, they're in, right, They're in no matter what because brand logo everything, Like I think the basically hurting you guys right now is the logo. People don't see it as like, Okay, this is a this is football, this is a football school, this is a smart school, just like kind of like everybody. Even though Indiana saying at the two seed, people still have that brand recognition of being like, well that's a basketball school. It's still having a hard time for people to recognize and be like, hey, this is a legit team.

00:53:31
Speaker 1: No, you're right, I know. I think the brand stuff like Crimson A or a you know, an Orange tea Honus, we'd be number five team in the nation.

00:53:42
Speaker 2: You guys would definitely be in the playoffs. Absolutely absolutely be in the playoffs.

00:53:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't disagree with that. I think just the way everything's lined lined up, right, now, I wish everybody could get in, but you know, like I feel like you guys are gonna get you guys are made first one out of the club.

00:54:00
Speaker 1: No, we can't be I think they gotta put us in roll.

00:54:02
Speaker 5: But what do you do as far as the as far as the playoff structures lined up, I'm with you, trust me. I want Vanderbilt to be in the We're pro Vandy. We're we're like anti the g fives, and we don't think anybody from the ACC should get in this year. But if you look at how this stuff goes down, it's like there's only gonna be a couple of spots open. And how are you going to leave out Notre Dame when they've only lost to what Texas A and m in Miami? Then you got Miami. Notre Dame in Miami has been whooping teams as of.

00:54:35
Speaker 1: Lake, but who they played, they snuck by VT Miami.

00:54:40
Speaker 6: I don't player hate, you know what I mean? This is just like, in all honesty, who's who's playing those real teams? That's why I think they're either one has to be like playings or something, or it has to be this massive schedule. You have to play freaking five SEC teams, five big ten teams and see, like, if you're the truth.

00:54:59
Speaker 5: I was on Taylor before we got on here, Like what if we could be fluid and just call it what it is right now? You take ten locks and all these teams are gonna argued about you get an eight man bracket and you guys just play into the playoffs.

00:55:11
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that.

00:55:13
Speaker 5: Or yeah, just four extra game starting right after whoever plays in has to play Afhouse State because it'd be the lowest seed.

00:55:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, but yeah, you're right. I mean Notre Dame. They have two losses. They came in at the beginning of the year, but who if they played since the two losses? Not really anybody my tears, he's hurt. I'm trying to look. Alabama Ole Miss is another argument. They lose their entire offensive staff, but they earn so what happens. I agree with you, they earned it. But if you're logically sitting here and being like theyre're such a high powered offense, you would think they lose the entire offensive staff, They're probably not going to go very far in the playoffs.

00:55:49
Speaker 6: They have earned it, but it's a it's a player's game too, though.

00:55:53
Speaker 2: The only the only things I look at here is like, yeah, Virginia, Virginia should not be in even if they beat Duke and in this North Texas thing. I've said it for multiple weeks now, we've said it like the G five. To me, you have to be twelve and zero and murdering your competition a week in and week out like nothing close, and that just sucks, like you're you're you don't you don't play high competition. You guys are a ten and two team that's in the SEC that has s he has most top twenty five teams in there. So yeah, you guys should absolutely be in. Unfortunately, it seems like you have to you have to position yourself and be mentally prepared for the idea that it's probably not going to happen.

00:56:32
Speaker 6: I haven't mentally got there and I won't get there.

00:56:34
Speaker 5: Fight take can anymore?

00:56:36
Speaker 6: Well, when when is the uh, the for sure bracket coming out?

00:56:40
Speaker 2: Well, there's yeah, next Seasonday, Sunday, the championship games. So do the championship games?

00:56:46
Speaker 6: And then yeah, so do the championship games hurt? These teams are now the committee?

00:56:50
Speaker 2: I said it doesn't really hurt. They're not putting a lot of weight in what happens. The problem is is like you got Ohio State and Indiana, they play in the Baiting Championship. They're going regardless, but it's like, why, okay, if it doesn't matter, why would you even play in the beigin the championship. The same thing goes for if, like some of the argument is, if Alabama loses to Georgia, does Alabama that get kicked out of the playoff because they're sitting at ten? That's crazy, right, which might look good for you guys.

00:57:14
Speaker 5: But again, Bama becomes a three loss team that was the number one ring team in the SEC playing in their championship game they lose, Are you going to leave them out as a three loss team that's only lost to it be Georgia, Georgia, Georgia twice and then Alabama lost to Florida State.

00:57:30
Speaker 2: Oklahoma, Yeah, Oklahoma SEC Championship, Yah, yeah, oh it's Georgia.

00:57:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they beat Georgia at Georgia.

00:57:37
Speaker 2: You guys kind of just always beat Georgia, right, Well, you guys.

00:57:40
Speaker 5: Records they need to do this weekend. But again, it's like they're nine to three, they'll still have a case because they win their championship game and they have a case because like, okay, do you put ten and two Vanderbilt in, Well it had to head. They beat vander but they beat you, guys. So that's where it's. That's why it's like as fans, we love the chaos. I love all the arguments debate, but if they're like if I'm looking at the way that Bandy gets in, I just it's gonna be a hard road for Vanderbilt to get in, just based on the structure of the college football playoffs.

00:58:08
Speaker 2: In your mind, is there is there a world they get in, because I don't think there is.

00:58:13
Speaker 5: I don't want to tell now, but.

00:58:17
Speaker 2: Tell us tell us how Vanderbil gets the playoffs.

00:58:19
Speaker 6: They have to come to their senses.

00:58:22
Speaker 5: But that that's we But you're talking about a lot of season, Like to me, Bama would have to get killed.

00:58:28
Speaker 6: I'm just saying these these other bubble teams like sure, if.

00:58:33
Speaker 2: You right, everybody, Okay, so you need to just say it. I'll repeat it. Texas Tech to win, then you you be to win. Alabama to lose bad.

00:58:51
Speaker 5: I think Alabama needs to lose bad if they're not going to get in the coach.

00:58:53
Speaker 2: Like, we're talking a bad beat, multiple touchdown beat. If that happens, you think Vandy gets in. Yeah, but then then you're putting in another you have you have to put in. According to Josh Pate.

00:59:05
Speaker 5: What like a if Duke wins, Duke's not going.

00:59:08
Speaker 2: To be a high ranked, a different conference champion.

00:59:10
Speaker 5: Two G five teams are going to get in. If jam you'll win their championship their favored right now by like twenty one and a half points. JAMU will win and they're because they're ranked. And then North Texas and Tulane play their championship this weekend, they will both be ranked above Duke. So two G five teams will get in. Both coaches and coaches. I'm supposed to be going to UCLA.

00:59:33
Speaker 2: Now I know, coach going to u c L a job, bro.

00:59:39
Speaker 6: Because of taxes.

00:59:40
Speaker 2: This game taxes and you're the second best team in your city and there's not a whole lot. Have you been to Pasadena? It's the stadiums an hour away from campus. Yeah, it's far the stadium, No, no, no, it's it was. It's like Vanderbilt pre Pavia.

01:00:00
Speaker 6: I don't know about that.

01:00:02
Speaker 2: That's just the reality. There was no fans.

01:00:04
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, I just didn't. I haven't been to a vanity game.

01:00:07
Speaker 1: No.

01:00:07
Speaker 5: But that's kind of how the that's like the playoff structure. It's not like the twelve best teams get.

01:00:11
Speaker 6: In, right, So maybe maybe they just implement something next week. There's the plans before the playoffs.

01:00:17
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, there's always that's coming to their sense chance.

01:00:21
Speaker 5: Who would be who would be in the plans?

01:00:22
Speaker 2: If you can put four teams in the plans or eight teams whatever it is, what would you put like.

01:00:27
Speaker 6: The bubble teams with like the G five's and then the nine to eight?

01:00:32
Speaker 2: So you go thirteen, you go eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.

01:00:38
Speaker 5: So here's the here's the eight. You go Virginia, b Yu, Miami, Notre Dame Vanderbilt.

01:00:45
Speaker 2: You keep putting, you keep talking like Notre Dames, not just in. They're in.

01:00:49
Speaker 5: They might not, but I mean, but I'm just sitting at nine right here. They're in, Bro, how are they in the same Like what is it the comparable pull or whatever is Miami? It's like Miami got them on the head to head.

01:01:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, so Miami has to That's what I'm saying.

01:01:04
Speaker 5: If we're going to talk about eight teams that are on the bubble that are being argued about.

01:01:07
Speaker 2: But as as this chart says, right now, they're the number nine seed.

01:01:12
Speaker 1: They're in.

01:01:13
Speaker 2: That's not gonna change. Notre Dame will sit at nine again. And if they're sitting, if you're sitting in the top ten, going in next week, you're in, which pulls up, which makes up.

01:01:22
Speaker 5: Notre names and whooping everybody by like double digits.

01:01:26
Speaker 2: They haven't play anybody. You're right. The only two teams they played they lost against They should have been the m but they didn't.

01:01:32
Speaker 6: Have a crazy thought.

01:01:34
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts.

01:01:35
Speaker 10: Using the Ohio State Indiana example, since they're both in guaranteed, why not use that game as the play in opportunity.

01:01:44
Speaker 1: For you're gonna take away?

01:01:48
Speaker 10: So yeah, the weight a conference championship holds, use that weekend to decide your bottom.

01:01:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:01:56
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I think the conference championship should be dead. It needs to go to like an n FELL situation where it's like, oh, well, who has the best record game, you're the SEC champion, You have Yeah, you have the tiebreaker. You're the SEC champion, You're the Big ten champion.

01:02:08
Speaker 5: Move on, let's just blow it up.

01:02:10
Speaker 2: Let's blow it up. I love the idea of I think the play in is unbelievable. And then you then you'll play the one seed.

01:02:18
Speaker 1: Find that.

01:02:20
Speaker 2: I love your fucking attitude, dude. I love it.

01:02:23
Speaker 5: Anywhere, any place, anytime.

01:02:25
Speaker 6: Hello, what is did you pull up.

01:02:29
Speaker 2: Notre Dame schedules firm? Let's get that. Let's get that pulled up.

01:02:35
Speaker 5: I mean Notre Dame has been mopping teams mopping. I get that they haven't played anybody, but.

01:02:41
Speaker 2: Like you think they should be in.

01:02:43
Speaker 1: If you put us, whose resume is better? That's the thing you gotta think about. Who's which teams us Notre Dame in Miami in a bowl and you look at the resumes, Who's do you pick is the best?

01:02:56
Speaker 6: If you took all the logos and everything off and just put out a play forman numbers in stats, everyone would pick.

01:03:03
Speaker 5: Us, everybody in the SEC, everybody around the world. I mean, I just taught you, just learned about the G five and listen, I'm a week ahead of you. I just learned about it. I like Notre Dame. I think it's Notre Dame.

01:03:19
Speaker 2: Over everybody else. Oh, if you're taking what would you say, Miami, Vanderbilt and Notre Dame. Yeah, that seems like a crazy I grew up a fan of Notre Dame. Bias could be because their scheduled, Like is this the top? Okay, so they Notre Dame loses to Miami, then they lose to Texas A and l They beat Purdue, they beat Arkansas, Arkansas bomb at the barrel in the in the SEC, they beat Boise State, NC State, they beat USC at home, Boston College, Navy, Pittsburgh, Sarah Hughs Stanford. That's they have one top twenty five, one top twenty five win. Pull up. I will do Miami last. Pull a Vonner Belt schedule because that to me is like very weak. That's a very weak schedule. The two teams that were like formidable opponents you beat or you lost to.

01:04:18
Speaker 1: This is going to get us into the current ranking.

01:04:19
Speaker 2: Okay, this is this is Vanderbilt, So you guys, you guys, Okay, Charleston Southern doesn't matter. Virginia Tech, Virginia tich was were they ranked at this time? After that week after that week they did your right. South Carolina was a top ten school at the time JP at their place, at their place, So to me, that's a top ten win. Georgia State doesn't matter, you does state doesn't matter? Alabama? Listen, you lost to Alabama. LSU was LSU ranked when you all played them.

01:04:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, there's a little ring sucked.

01:04:47
Speaker 2: LSU sucked, But this time they were ranked in the top twenty five.

01:04:51
Speaker 6: Can you not.

01:04:53
Speaker 5: That's the SEC game for you?

01:04:55
Speaker 2: Missouri ranked at the time Texas, you lost to Texas almost came back. That score or doesn't show they kind of handle Auburn, Kentucky and a ranked Tennessee team. So that's four Tennessee. That's four ranked wins, two in the top ten, YEP on the road on the road. So that schedule alone, that blows Notre Dame out at the window.

01:05:20
Speaker 5: I don't think it blows Notre Dame out the window.

01:05:23
Speaker 2: Explain to me you're looking at you're looking at the results of the season when these teams played. When they played South Carolina, South calin was a top ten team when they ended up not being good. We're talking about the beginning of the season when all the hopes and dreams are still alive, and we're kind of now figuring out that South Carolina's offensive line sucks.

01:05:41
Speaker 5: Hey the time, I want Vanderbilt to be in the playoff too. I've just you're you're asking me out of Miami Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, what like which resume am I sitting there looking at to being the playoff? Here's who like all their arguments they are going up against, like if you get again a three loss Alabama and a three loss Textas that are pleading their case they both beat Vanderbilt had to head and I know, like I'm talking about both sides of my mouth. With Miami Notre Dame, I don't care which any any of them that go in. I think they're all like good programs. But if I'm gonna sit there and write whatever, whoever seems like they got the juice going into the playoff. Right now, it feels like Notre Dame as much as anybody else. It feels like Vanderbilt. You can make a case of.

01:06:18
Speaker 2: Vandy Notre Dame has more juice than Vanderbilt right now, after they went to Knoxville and Donkey stomp the balls.

01:06:25
Speaker 5: I think Vanderbilt has every right to be in the couple will play off.

01:06:28
Speaker 2: Right, we're talking about strength of schedule, we're talking about resume wins, and I just listed out for your Notre Dame schedule wins and losses, and then Vanderbilt Notre Dame, and you're looking at me, going, I don't agree.

01:06:40
Speaker 5: Miami's Notre Dame has won ten straight by double digits.

01:06:44
Speaker 1: Who have they played? They beat Syracuse by sixty three and week eleven they had like.

01:06:49
Speaker 5: Thirty some points for that offense.

01:06:51
Speaker 2: Their problem is is that they're a victim of the conference they play in.

01:06:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is no conference.

01:06:56
Speaker 2: Well it's acc it is a conference. So Miami, Miami beating it or Dame.

01:07:03
Speaker 5: Right, But Miami also lost BCU, I don't know BUS and Louisville University.

01:07:09
Speaker 2: Of South Florida. They just beat Florida the week prior to the week before this. Then they beat Florida. Then they beat Florida State, which at this time, were we still all all about Florida State.

01:07:20
Speaker 1: No, that's in October, that's I think I think still still hot.

01:07:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, Florida State was still hot then, So that's a good win to me. That's a top twenty five win, Lowville, they lost to Louisville, crazy loss, Stanford lose to SMU. Were they right to the time? Okay, not a great win? Syahcuse and then and so on and so forth they go in? Defeed it since then if you're looking at all three of those schedules, if anybody besides will disagrees with me, like Vanderbilt has the best the best wins there we and this is you've even said like SEC has the most depth of any conference, including the Big Ten.

01:07:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I personally, I'm not like trying to be right. I'm just giving you my opinion on who I think they're going to put in the playoff.

01:08:02
Speaker 2: I want not tin about who we think they're gonna put in the playff. I think they're gonna put in the playoff. I'mun say who's more deserving in your mind based on schedule.

01:08:09
Speaker 5: It's it doesn't matter to me, Like I I wish all three of these teams could go in, Like I'm not sitting her homewarn, Like, yes, I'm gonna root for the local team Vanderbilt, but they're going to be in a situation to where they're arguing with like a Texas And again, if Bama loses this weekend, they're gonna be arguing with that. And then if Bama wins and you have all these SEC teams, all these SEC teams in, it's like you got enough SEC teams in the College Football Playoff.

01:08:35
Speaker 6: It's supposed to be the best twelve teams in the country.

01:08:37
Speaker 1: Though, So why does conference matter if there's six ACC teams?

01:08:42
Speaker 5: Because you guys have already kind of sorted yourselves out.

01:08:45
Speaker 6: So wouldn't it be smart for these teams to just drop out of their conference just play fucking cake cake walks?

01:08:51
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, if you're Texas.

01:08:54
Speaker 5: If you're Texas, you want to have a cake wall because if that loss to Aho State keeps them out of it as a three lost team, no that they've beat you guys, and the Collegewall Playoff is going to put you guys in. And they beat you guys because they have one extra loss because it was Ohio State that they scheduled early in the year, They're gonna think to themselves, we need to have a cupcake team. So that way we could be ten and two arguing against a ten and two Vandy going.

01:09:15
Speaker 2: In Michigan because they are we arguing for Michigan, right, Yeah, for sure. If Michigan doesn't schedule Oklahoma at the second game of the year, we're essentially arguing for a ten and two Michigan team.

01:09:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, that's crazy.

01:09:32
Speaker 6: Yeah.

01:09:33
Speaker 5: And then you get away from the excitement of all these big non conference games that you want to see because all the big dogs are going against each other. Yeah. But now you pull back and realize, like, yeah, you're trying to play the schematics and strategy for getting the College wall playoff. You don't want to if you're playing nine conference games, which I know the SEC is going to, it's like you don't want to play anybody else outside of the conference that's worth the ship because you don't want to risk it trying to get into the playoffs. I agree.

01:09:57
Speaker 1: When did Texas schedule hell State?

01:10:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like what six seven years ago? Oh, here we go. I actually don't even mean to do that either. Everyone just fucking yeah. But I think that is a huge issue with college football. Then if you're going to take away people's strength of schedule as a reason to keep them enter out of a playoff, then there's something wrong going on with all that, because you can't because what does Texas play Ohio State next year?

01:10:26
Speaker 1: In Texas? Texas?

01:10:27
Speaker 2: Right? And Oklahoma comes up to Michigan and it's like, if you're any of those schools, why don't you just go We're not gonna play this game.

01:10:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's figure out what.

01:10:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna schedule Central Michigan, Texas gonna schedule North Texas. Who's in the fucking playoff? That makes no sense? Yeah, that's crazy, Which we should probably go to that game. That game is will be sick, which one September twelve next year.

01:10:49
Speaker 5: The one that we need to go to is LSU at ole Miss. Oh yeah, oh yeah, dude, how would you guys, how would you guys be feeling if you're a player on Ole Miss's team right now on the offense, you're the quarterback, the quarterback, I.

01:11:04
Speaker 6: Would I don't know who's gonna be who's because Lane calls the plays right and he took everyone.

01:11:12
Speaker 5: He took the OC. I'm assuming the quarterback coach, receivers coach. But yeah, let's just say clark Lee your play callers ex right now. Clarkly signed the extension right now.

01:11:28
Speaker 2: But you're okay, you're a senior. This is everything you've worked for. You're at a school with the most with the greatest winning season your school has ever had, and then your coach ups and leaves while you guys are in the playoffs. You're a senior. After this, there's no more college football for you.

01:11:44
Speaker 5: In your in your play caller, like they leave, they're gone yesterday.

01:11:49
Speaker 2: How are you feeling right now?

01:11:51
Speaker 6: We can get some plays together.

01:11:53
Speaker 2: No, listen, I love that, I love you.

01:11:57
Speaker 6: Yeah.

01:11:57
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:11:58
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what we talked about, is like those old miss players are gonna live in that delusion of like, hey, doesn't matter, We're going to go focus on this. They're probably not feeling the pain or the hurt of anything. The reality is is you have great football players, but if you don't have the right scheme and play calls, you're gonna you're gonna fall lank and draw it up too, lank and draw it up.

01:12:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:12:17
Speaker 2: And so it turns into it might not hurt these old missplayers feelings right now, but we get three weeks from now, four weeks from now. Were there in that first round they're losing the first round, They're sitting there going what if?

01:12:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, what if?

01:12:28
Speaker 2: And you just you're just wasted these senior season.

01:12:33
Speaker 1: That's rough.

01:12:34
Speaker 9: That sucks.

01:12:34
Speaker 1: I don't know what I do.

01:12:35
Speaker 5: Would you be able to separate like logic from emotion on feeling the type of way about your uh yeah, your coaches?

01:12:40
Speaker 6: Yeah for sure. I remember at New Mexico State when everyone was leaving, it was like, okay, they got to take just like everyone hitting the portal now mm hm, that have to do. It's best for them. Yeah, I like I like, I like it too.

01:12:58
Speaker 2: Yeah them. Yeah he does. Yeh, he absolutely does.

01:13:02
Speaker 6: Guy is awesome.

01:13:03
Speaker 2: He's got He's definitely got some ship to him.

01:13:07
Speaker 1: For sure.

01:13:07
Speaker 2: I think it's we were breaking down the whole thing, the whole tweeting from his dog's account thing. I didn't know about that until he is a massive troll.

01:13:17
Speaker 1: Dude.

01:13:18
Speaker 5: I love it. As a fan. Sitting back, I'm just sitting there saying, like, dude, if we were on this run and polining the staff left, like right before you go into the college football playoff in half of this historic run, like I'd be feeling some type of way oh, like damn bro, like everything that we were wanting to pursue you want to win a national title as a head coach. We got Well, we're here, we're here. What do you need? And that's the emotional side of the brain, obviously. If he's sitting there, Lane sitting there and he feels like his calling is going to ultimately ending up at l s U, which I hope it is, because if it happens again in a few years, that would be brutal.

01:13:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:13:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, it goes to Florida, goes leaves for the NFL or something. But I get I get Lane. It's like, it's a tough decision to make and one that you have to make, and you know, hopefully you handled the best way possible. But ripping the band aid off would suck. As a player in that line, Yeah.

01:14:08
Speaker 6: I want him to coach you in the playoffs, even though you know he's leaving. Yeah, yes, that's better than him. I think he's leaving. But he asked for that and they didn't let him.

01:14:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I saw the players ask too.

01:14:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, but buddy, if you're the ad, there's no way he can let the head coach. He's just sit there and he's gonna be like, Okay, listen, I know this is great, we got to win these games. But I got a spot for you at LSU and you're gonna go. Like you probably feel the same way about Clark Lee if he was if he was leaving, he was like, you should come with You're probably gonna go with his relationship.

01:14:36
Speaker 6: Everyone's doing that regardless though.

01:14:38
Speaker 5: No doubt.

01:14:39
Speaker 2: But there's difference between a phone call taking place an agent, someone like a middleman, and something being in the building with you every day. But boys, this is our game plan this weekend, and so and so, by the way, if any guys want to go to l s U except for you and you you guys, you guys should for sure come with me anyway, Like that is a crazy if you're if you're the kidnot yeah, yeah, I bet you. There's a piece of them that's like, man, should we let them? And then quickly it's like, yeah, we can't.

01:15:06
Speaker 1: What happened.

01:15:07
Speaker 2: I cannot let that happen.

01:15:09
Speaker 5: Just the bludgeting out there at ole.

01:15:10
Speaker 2: Miss Yeah, you brought up the Joe Moore Award, Kate. I want to hear why you guys think you are You guys should win the Joe More Award because there's a lot of good offensive lines out there in college football this year.

01:15:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, wait, who's who else is competing for it?

01:15:27
Speaker 1: The semi finalist list is up. I don't know. I think regardless of who's in it, honestly, I think we have the Heisman behind us, and you know, obviously that helps a lot. But I think what we've been able to do balancing you know, we just ran for three fifteen in Knoxville. That's pretty crazy. Diego through for five hundred yards against an SEC team, like we can do both, you know what I mean? I don't think there's anybody else that can really compare to that. As well as having you know who I think is the best football player in college football, dus, That helps us a.

01:16:01
Speaker 2: Lot, Right, You got Cincinnati, Dude, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan, Oregon, Texas A and m Utah Vanderbilt Vanderbilt.

01:16:11
Speaker 1: It's in alphabetic order, has got to be.

01:16:14
Speaker 2: I'm fired up. I'm fired up. The Michigan's in this real idea of Michigan was a semi finalists for this three starting freshmen on that offensive line.

01:16:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. They've done good with that too.

01:16:25
Speaker 2: They've done because they were it seems like they're gonna be a liability early in the year, and they really turned it around. Yeah, that's I mean, it's a good list of people right there, and definitely having a Heisman candidate behind you as just like Diego did. He pointed out, like, hey, I got the Joe More winning Joe Moore Award winning offensive line in front of me, and like you guys are both complimenting each other based on individual and group accolades.

01:16:46
Speaker 1: I think another thing that helps too is we have the Remington Center as well. I think. I mean, he's like a four time.

01:16:52
Speaker 2: He's a little savage too. He's always popping off the screen.

01:16:56
Speaker 1: He just won his fourth sec fourth in a season. Like that guy's insane. He's he If he doesn't win the Wilmington it might be worse than if Diego doesn't win the Heisman, like he deserves it that much.

01:17:09
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah, he's nice.

01:17:11
Speaker 1: The Parker brails Free. I think Alabama is a really good football player too. Slaughter at Florida is really good at center two.

01:17:19
Speaker 2: But Jordan Jordan is Slaughter is not gonna win it though, even if he is. Because I was reading up on Florida and watched them of their games and everybody was like, the offensive line is a strength of this team that has a lot of talent all around them, and because their record, you're never it's always it's always record based when it comes to these kinds of awards, which words are tough, that's why is that the is that rushing or yards game? Yeah, Oregon's fucking nice, bro, they got a good squad. We've been around them. They were rushing for what six point seven yards per carry something like that.

01:17:52
Speaker 6: At one point, we're like top five in every single category and we're not in the playoffs. Is that not crazy?

01:17:59
Speaker 11: I do?

01:18:00
Speaker 5: I'm with you, No, dude, I think I think it's crazy again. I think you guys should be in the playoffs. I'm just saying all of the all of the arguing and debates around it, like, you guys are just in this bubble spot to where everybody, every team, with all these separate schedules, like everybody's got some argument that they can lean on, Like with Miami Notre Dame, Miami beat them head to head, which they can lean on. Notre Dame has been a little hotter down the stretch than Miami Notre Dame has that to lean on.

01:18:26
Speaker 2: Miami just be pit by more than what Notre Dame be paid. Yeah, which which I think when it comes to schedule, Notre Dame's third in the list of those three.

01:18:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, but again Notre Dame's won ten straight, you know what I mean, where whereas they've had these close losses to great teams and out in Alabama and Texas, Texas is a team on the outside looking and trying to argue their spot.

01:18:48
Speaker 1: So like there's a you're are you doing a momentum argument with that? Like ten straight? Is that what you're saying, Like.

01:18:53
Speaker 5: I'm saying, if you're Notre Dame arguing for it, you have ten straight over everybody else because you guys had a couple of bumps of tough games and then Miami's lost to like Louisville and s MU, which again you brought up, which Miami needed to beat Pitt worse than Notre Dame did, which as dumb as that sounds like, that is a good that is like a good thing to lean on, and they have the head to head over Notre Dame too, But if you're Notre Dame, like that's what you're obviously see you are obviously sitting there arguing is your heisman candidate the way this team's played compared to how they played in the first game against Miami.

01:19:25
Speaker 6: They also haven't played anyone ten straight either, though, Yeah.

01:19:30
Speaker 5: Right, which which again out to argue that it's just everybody's trying to prop what the resume is. That's kind of the that's kind of the spin zone.

01:19:39
Speaker 6: Whose problem is better?

01:19:40
Speaker 1: Huh?

01:19:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I at you guys would be sitting in the best spot.

01:19:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I don't know they can. I don't know. I was just arguing for all of you.

01:19:51
Speaker 2: No, you're arguing for Notre Dame. And then he switched.

01:19:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, but you're going through their schedule saying like South Carolina is the top at the time at the time. But again, that's that's that's the thing. That's the thing that bothers me.

01:20:02
Speaker 2: Man, is like, if you beat a team when they have a number next to their name at the time you play them, that's how the world is perceiving them. We would farther down. Injuries happen, I mean for South Carolina, like you guys, ald just fumble the bag big time this year. That sucks. But like as you play like things happen, injuries take place, people have bad games, that sort of thing. But like when you play the team, if they're if they have a number next to them, that should count. Like South Carolina should be a top ten winneror top fifteen win for you guys this year.

01:20:32
Speaker 5: Was on that ranking base on the year before, like they're.

01:20:36
Speaker 2: A baseball team. Honestly, it's like, but it's like if you look at any South Carolina finger're gonna say, hey, did you guys wildly underperform this year for what you guy should have done? The answer is yes, wildly because they should have been a top fifteen team this year. We will played well against a lot of good teams. However, when you guys played there eleven in the country, it's like that should you guys? That should count or something for you guys, because at the time you're walking into that building being like, this is a staple win.

01:21:05
Speaker 1: For us night the fans think they're ranked.

01:21:08
Speaker 2: Fans different, but absolutely right to me, it has to count for something, right, But when things happen.

01:21:16
Speaker 5: If you're walking in the door trying to say, hey, here's one of my points I want to make with our schedule and beating the South Carolina team that's ranked. Everybody's gonna be like, Buddy, like, who cares that you beat South Carolina?

01:21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, because everyone's looking at the end result.

01:21:28
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, because the years played out for everybody. It's like you look at preseason, like Texas A and M would have all these incredible wins against the programs that they played, but now that we're at the end of the year, their one loss is to an SEC team that's in the top half of the SEC. All their wins were against bottom half SEC team.

01:21:46
Speaker 2: Do you have any rings like top fifteen wins when they were playing them at the time, besides Notre Dame because Notre Dame was still top fifteen nine think yeah, okay, Notre Dame was nine. Okay, yeah, you're right.

01:22:07
Speaker 1: Maybe l SU at the time. What week was that?

01:22:10
Speaker 2: Maybe Missouri?

01:22:12
Speaker 5: I think Missouri was ranked at that time, two weeks before that, two.

01:22:15
Speaker 2: Weeks before that because they sputtered. They lost it after that to Alabama.

01:22:18
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, but they didn't have their starting course.

01:22:20
Speaker 1: They didn't have.

01:22:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they might have been out by then. Yeah.

01:22:26
Speaker 1: I think they gotta put.

01:22:28
Speaker 2: Matters for when you play the team. I think that matters. I think the fan base, the environment, the competitive atmosphere. It's way different when you have a number next to your name then as opposed to when you don't. Teams are different.

01:22:43
Speaker 1: I agree.

01:22:43
Speaker 2: What do we think about? Where's the with the stat list?

01:22:48
Speaker 5: We got some stats right here? Yeah, it's honestly, it's been cool to see you guys getting on so many lists. Joe Moore, Heisman, everything else.

01:22:55
Speaker 2: You got the wife calling me here to take this, all right, Charlie calls, Will Compton will start getting into this, dude, first thing on the list. Should Diego will win the Heisman? You're your third best? And Alison Fando right now it's plus three forty. You're behind Fernando Mendoza and saying, those are the two people out of him. Do you want me to read their stats? Yeah, let's get some good Okay, let's get some Let's go with Mendoza status context. Mendoza has three thousand, three thousand and one yards, He's got thirty eight touchdowns and seventy two percent completion percentage. All right, saying has three thousand ninety two a little bit better right there, thirty touchdowns, less touchdowns and yeah, something about a hoist. I think he also has seventy eight point nine percent completion percentage. He has the highest completion percentage of any quarterback maybe ever. Maybe ever. Then there's you. So you are two quarterbacks that are three thousand. You have four thousand and eighteen total yards and thirty six touchdowns. Why do you think you're third those I know you think you should win. I I agree with you. Why do you think they're putting you in third right now?

01:24:05
Speaker 1: I don't know.

01:24:07
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's play the game. Let's potentially we're on a podcast. We're having a full conversation about it.

01:24:11
Speaker 1: I've got answers, go ahead. I think it's because he wears a gold V on his shist. I think the logo is number one. And I think that you know, there's no there's no reason this is off topic. But there's no reason that you watch the games and you don't think this guy's the most important player in college football. Like if you plug and play anybody else him, anywhere else, they're in the same position we are. It's like the most important player in college football, the best quarterback in college football. The yard, the yards and stuff. I know that doesn't have rushing yards, but it's like that's a total yards there.

01:24:47
Speaker 5: I know.

01:24:47
Speaker 1: I think I saw somewhere that he's got like six hundred more rushing yards in any of them. And it's like he can sit back there and drop back and throw a bomb every play to her. You know, Heisman candidate receivers, but you got to be able to do them. Ground two. I think we got a dual threat guy, and I don't. I don't know why he isn't. Third. The only answer I have for that is logo.

01:25:06
Speaker 5: Well, the answer Indiana doesn't have a strong logo.

01:25:10
Speaker 7: Well.

01:25:10
Speaker 6: The other thing I have for that is Fandiel likes giving out money. I mean, that's why the podcast runs.

01:25:15
Speaker 5: You know, you say, who.

01:25:19
Speaker 2: I saw a chart? Sure, I don't know if you could bring it up. I think I tweeted about it. But it was a chart of how many two hundred yard games they've had, three hundred yards, four yards, five hundred yard games. And as you look down, going down, like the higher the numbers get, you are alone by yourself. I know, like you have how many five hundred yard games?

01:25:37
Speaker 1: Did you have? One or two?

01:25:40
Speaker 5: One or two?

01:25:41
Speaker 2: Five hundred and thirty two passing in total yards, six touchdowns versus Kentucky four hundred and thirty three, two touchdowns versus Tennessee four hundred and thirty three in Knoxville is nuts. Utah State's not very impressive two forty six three touchdowns against LSU Auburn forty nine. It is impressive. Here's where I think there is people can probably hate a little bit. Watch Fernana Mendoza and Julian Sam when they do postgame press conferences. Way different. You have much more of a fucking attitude about you. That wrestler's attitude.

01:26:21
Speaker 6: He's got more juice.

01:26:22
Speaker 2: Listen, I get it, but that, uh, the way you, the way you're talking right now, is exactly what I'm saying. Like when people think of the Heights with the thinking suit and ties, we're gonna act a certain way. It's more of like a country club s thing.

01:26:37
Speaker 1: I don't.

01:26:37
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't think so Okay, why Jam Newton?

01:26:40
Speaker 2: Okay, Cam Newton wasn't like the Cam Newton's Johnny Manziel, Johnny Minzel when he went Joe Burrow hold on, when Johnny Menzel won the Heisman, he was very much like like still like masking behind this all American boy type of thing. After he won the Heisman was when all this ship started to come out.

01:26:58
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow, he's calm, but he's got the juice.

01:27:02
Speaker 2: Though he's got juice, there's no doubt he's got swag.

01:27:04
Speaker 6: He ain't scared to say some that's Joe Burrow. Okay, I think who else? Who's who?

01:27:11
Speaker 1: I think that's such a bad argument. Though, Listen, he's bad at interviews. You can't win the hes one. It's like, I I.

01:27:16
Speaker 2: Agree with that. I'm saying that there's there's probably a how they view a Heisman win.

01:27:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I also think, like maybe I don't know, maybe appearances are.

01:27:27
Speaker 1: That's it goes right back to the logo thing, like are we talking about appearances? Are we talking about numbers in the.

01:27:32
Speaker 6: Are we talking about the Are you the best or not? It's plain and simple, right.

01:27:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it should be.

01:27:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:27:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, to me, I think you mean more to your team. I think Fernando Mendoza means a lot to his team. Like to me, it's like it's it should be a guy who's changed the temperature for their team. Like when you hear about this team and the success that they're having throughout the year and fans that are outside the bubble of sec or with Fernando Mendez a big ten to where you start hearing about these teams winning, you're wondering why they're having the success that they have, and then you're able to look at a player who kind of takes over what that team's success looks like. I think it's you. I think it's Mendoza. I think Julian Singing doesn't have like he's surrounded by He's a he's a hell of a player, but you also got an incredible machine around him.

01:28:16
Speaker 6: For because last year Indiana still went in twelve and h.

01:28:26
Speaker 1: And last year they went to the playoffs with so around.

01:28:33
Speaker 5: No, I agree with you. I agree with you, like you've changed the landscape of Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt football, Yeah, two years in a row. To me, it's like that's it's the why why anybody tunes into Vanderbilt football. In no disrespect case you guys. The team is playing really well, but you also want to see what kind of juice Like you're hearing about this Diego Pavey kid, you want to watch it live. You want to see it live happen. I feel like, being on the outside. It's not like I'm a huge Indiana guy. But as Indiana was playing and then they beat Oregon and people keep talking about Bernado Mendoza. When I am turning it, tuning in to watch Indiana football, I'm like, Oh, I want to see what this Bernado Mendoza kids doing. You see his comeback win against that last drive against Penn State, and it's like, there's a Heisman moment there very much. You've had a Heisman moment in several of these games, like going into Neeland I think is a massive one. I was staying it in the locker room last week. If they go in and win and you have a stat line that you do, it's like, yes, give the kid the Heisman. So to me, I'm thinking there's two guys that I'm personally feel like. To me, it'll depend a lot on what happens in this Big Ten Championship game with Mendoza. If he can take down Ohio State and he does it with incredible stat it's gonna be hard for America the way everything's going to go to point towards Fernando, where I think people will still be arguing you. But to me, I feel like you're you're in the driver's seat right now.

01:29:44
Speaker 6: Well I appreciate that.

01:29:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yeah, we got you over here.

01:29:49
Speaker 1: We got you.

01:29:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, not all of us.

01:29:53
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jack, that's okay. He's off the camp.

01:29:59
Speaker 5: You got the camp in here. But I think if I could guess what kind of the pulses of everything, I feel like that's what the pulse will be. It'll come down to what kind of game is Mendoz gonna have this weekend against will State.

01:30:10
Speaker 6: But now you look at Ohio State, Julian Sane is now the race. He can he can have a massive game too and jump.

01:30:17
Speaker 1: You know, defenses to play very well.

01:30:20
Speaker 6: Well, not even that. We just need people to look at the reality of it and say, who's the best player in college football through these twelve games?

01:30:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I agree? Where where I feel like.

01:30:39
Speaker 2: That's fellas.

01:30:45
Speaker 5: He came in at a good time. He came back there.

01:30:50
Speaker 1: You got it.

01:30:52
Speaker 2: You guys have watch so do we We don't have the back there for the dude, Dad, hilarious. Before we started this, we were talking on the other side, if you can only if you can only bring one person to the Heisman ceremonies. You're bringing his mom or is you're bringing you? And you haven't answered that question. They're they're both going.

01:31:14
Speaker 6: If you had to pick one, though, well my mom, but yeah, fair enough, but.

01:31:20
Speaker 5: To New York, New York.

01:31:22
Speaker 4: I'll stay outside, I'll stay.

01:31:24
Speaker 5: In the van. Just pick it for him, A diego for Heisman.

01:31:28
Speaker 4: I'm not getting on the cold weather. I'll stay in the van.

01:31:31
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

01:31:31
Speaker 4: I'll stay in the van and hold the horn?

01:31:34
Speaker 5: Are you?

01:31:35
Speaker 2: You said the tables like forty k right?

01:31:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're gonna do that A tail for eight. I think Van is gonna buy a few.

01:31:41
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome. Yeah, if you have the opportunity. When when is the last time vanderbil has had a Heisman candidate ever?

01:31:46
Speaker 5: Imagine too, if the team, if the team made the player pay for it.

01:31:50
Speaker 2: Crazy, Well, I'm sure he's gonna have a laundry list of people and he take us with him, Like, are you gonna invite us? Yeah? I wouldn't yeh yeah, yeah, no, you're right, I wouldn't. I just want to know if you would.

01:32:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably go to the Heights with money. You probably have to have a talk with your brother just.

01:32:13
Speaker 6: Behavior, dude. There's a funny ass video I have of him in a suit and tie. Let me show you real quick.

01:32:18
Speaker 5: Your brother.

01:32:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't even put him in a suit and tie. Know you'll like this one too. Hes got hes got to hang around with him, so he's.

01:32:26
Speaker 5: What's it been like? Is there a mic back?

01:32:28
Speaker 2: There?

01:32:29
Speaker 5: No mic? Damn, you're struggling right now.

01:32:32
Speaker 2: With you got to talk loud, but asking the question you asked, what's.

01:32:37
Speaker 5: It been like getting to know the Pavia family.

01:32:39
Speaker 3: Oh, the pa family is definitely good, you know. I mean a lot of my family has lived in halfway houses and stuff over the year, so you meet a lot of people that are going through it and getting back into the community, you know.

01:32:48
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, the Pobby is I fucking I mean, I don't.

01:32:51
Speaker 3: Know if there's ever been a family like that that's been associated with college football front row willing to get arrested even on a a'll have a three yard loss and they're willing to get arrested, you know what I'm saying, Like, it doesn't even need to be an amazing play and they're willing to go down and chains bro.

01:33:10
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty unbelievable. It's I think it's.

01:33:13
Speaker 3: Hard probably for you guys on the field not to play tough when they're I mean, those guys are willing. You know, they're running options in the stands. It's getting you know, Hobby will run it.

01:33:23
Speaker 2: He'll run, He'll run.

01:33:25
Speaker 3: An out route, you know, up up twenty fights of bleachers. It's just like, what's going on?

01:33:34
Speaker 6: This is the best video right here. So this is it's senior day. We're playing Kentucky. This is like before walmups, you know, when everyone goes out. The family is all on the field. This is my brother Hobby right here.

01:33:48
Speaker 5: He's just rocking the suit.

01:33:49
Speaker 6: He's talking ship to number eleven on Kentucky. This kid's like, what the fuck is going on?

01:33:55
Speaker 1: Who is.

01:33:57
Speaker 5: Going on?

01:34:00
Speaker 4: I told people he was the team pastor. I tell everybody on the other team that he's the team pastor.

01:34:07
Speaker 2: And they're like, Bro, when you brother the go, when you your brother getting arrested and all the antics you see from your family, have you ever just sat there like set them down like a olive gardeners, be like, guys, we can't keep doing it. They gotta keep it together just a little bit longer your bread sticks and your superner salad. We've got to figure it out.

01:34:26
Speaker 6: The thing is like Albuquerque is like a real life GTA, So it's like always just been like kind of like normal to us, you know, and then like this is when like the first years it's been like all right, like we have to chill out.

01:34:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's also a piece of like authenticity. We gotta be like, hey, let him be them.

01:34:44
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think that's the best part about him too, is like when you well, this is the other thing too, is why I kind of let it let them be them. So last year we beat Alabama, We're going on a freaking crazy run. Kentucky they're running wild too, and then it was like, hey, like we need to calm down, like everyone, everything going out of control when it comes down. Ever since that day we were five and two. We only won one of the game against Auburn and we barely slip by and they were they weren't drinking nothing. I was like, you know what, fucking next year, get hammered as much as you want. That's all the time, he said the tone. Yeah, he only my brother only stayed sober for the Alabama game and the Texas came, no, are you being for real? Dead ass?

01:35:25
Speaker 5: So if you're out of the playoff, it's like we kind of have like.

01:35:29
Speaker 6: Coach but yeah, oh you like I always joked with him about that.

01:35:34
Speaker 2: Okay, thank god, holy shit, that's crazy.

01:35:38
Speaker 5: We can't let him run that.

01:35:40
Speaker 2: So you're basically telling your brother like, fuck your liver, like we need you to, we make the you gotta be hammered every day.

01:35:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, liver transplant, now, yeah, let him do the thing.

01:35:48
Speaker 6: How much is that?

01:35:49
Speaker 4: That's one hundred and twenty ranks?

01:35:51
Speaker 2: Probably liver transplant in the US can be around eight hundred and seventy eight thousand or a million. Oh my now, yeah, we need multiple sponsors for that.

01:35:59
Speaker 1: One of a nice one.

01:36:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, this are the good one.

01:36:01
Speaker 4: If you want one of those two story livers or whatever. Yeah, I'm talking about a studio liver.

01:36:06
Speaker 1: That is New York studio.

01:36:11
Speaker 2: Like, we got one hundred and fifty bucks, get to we get to New York, We get to New York and we get to the Heisman. You're sitting there at you Fernanda Mendozo Julian saying, and they announced one of their names, not yours, Like what what are we gonna expect from your brother, Like that's gonna be Oh yeah, we might.

01:36:25
Speaker 6: Have manifest things. I don't think that's gonna happen.

01:36:30
Speaker 2: The positive always gotta think positive.

01:36:34
Speaker 5: How did you guys, how did Coach Lee delivered the news to you guys that he signed the extension, Like, was there a big moment with the with the team, you guys finding out just through media?

01:36:43
Speaker 1: It was Friday morning.

01:36:44
Speaker 6: We have a team meeting and uh, mister mister Ben runs it. He's like, uh, Coach Lee's right hand man, and he's like here and we go over like officiating rules, what not to do, what to do, what's good?

01:37:00
Speaker 1: Good?

01:37:00
Speaker 6: And he was like, well, this is the most important meeting. It's usually not the most important meeting, but today it is. And he just clicked over and everyone like lifted their heads up and it was like Clark Lee extended and everyone just went crazy. Yeah, he deserves it though he does.

01:37:17
Speaker 5: Were you guys having a feeling that he could be he could be going elsewhere just because again, you guys have had so much success, Like that's kind of what happened.

01:37:23
Speaker 6: Yah, that's the name of the game. I had. I had a feeling, but I'm glad he stayed. Yeah, this is his hometown too, so and he can recruit anyone around the country now that we're winning. Just like I said last time, you were in the.

01:37:38
Speaker 4: State by Curtis that we need.

01:37:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jody Curtis, that with the haircut.

01:37:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, word on the street, he's coming.

01:37:46
Speaker 2: We're on the street.

Speaker 4: We tried to flip in the other night like a hotcake.

01:37:52
Speaker 6: Right now.

01:37:54
Speaker 5: In the middle of the night.

01:37:55
Speaker 2: Hey you you are You're just a football fan. But are you like playing your flag with Vanderbilt now? Is it forever Vanderbilt? Because I saw you and Lane Kiffin as he's getting off the bus like a couple of weeks ago.

01:38:05
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was fun.

01:38:06
Speaker 1: Man.

01:38:06
Speaker 3: Well, I've all had to work every year for like fourteen years during the fall out to work most of the so I never got to go to the games. So I'm making up for a lot of lost time here. So it's been a blast. But yeah, Vanderbilt, it's just been the best. Man that it's right here in town. I got to meet so many great guys. There's so many.

01:38:22
Speaker 4: Players over there, man Cay.

01:38:24
Speaker 3: They got h Chase Mitchell, his son could play his son's bigger than Calvin Barnett.

01:38:33
Speaker 4: His son, Chase, his son. It's like their whole team is absolutely hilarious.

01:38:37
Speaker 5: Bro.

01:38:38
Speaker 3: They have so many big personalities there, dude, it is ridiculous.

01:38:42
Speaker 4: Bro, It's ridiculous.

01:38:45
Speaker 3: Maybe had some killer catches this week though, Yeah, he did d two guys out.

01:38:49
Speaker 5: It was crazy.

01:38:49
Speaker 2: This is Blue Mountain State program truly.

01:38:53
Speaker 5: I love.

01:38:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:39:00
Speaker 5: It's like he's around, Uh, it's like he's around the high school football team. Just please everybody.

01:39:04
Speaker 6: This kid is literally five ft five, one hundred and ten pounds.

01:39:09
Speaker 1: Dude.

01:39:09
Speaker 3: He will tie weights in his hair to have a little bit more waste.

01:39:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.

01:39:15
Speaker 6: You know what he would do for wayns because you have to gain weight. He would get that weight pad that usually goes around your ankles. You would tape it around his body like this and go way in on the scale, no ship.

01:39:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, just to fits around's.

01:39:28
Speaker 2: That tight end. Y'all got what's his name? Buddy? That guy is incredible as well.

01:39:33
Speaker 6: He Cole Spence, Cole Spence is he's going to be a first round or too.

01:39:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's coming.

01:39:37
Speaker 6: Spence is good and what you are these guys. Cole Spence has three years so he has two more after this and the other guy he's he's a senior yet is he.

01:39:44
Speaker 4: Going to come back?

01:39:46
Speaker 5: Cool?

01:39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be back.

01:39:47
Speaker 4: So now, how does it work for players now?

01:39:49
Speaker 3: Because you guys all have to go and do a You have to meet with like an agent or something for the team at the end of the season to see if you're going to come back.

01:39:57
Speaker 6: What's that like?

01:39:59
Speaker 1: It's uh for guys that are old enough, you either declare for the draft or you come back. And uh, I mean you have agents and stuff whatever, you have NFL agents and IOLE agents, but really you all those pictures are terrible. Really, you just you renegotiate like a contract within ile. That's kind of the way it goes.

01:40:18
Speaker 5: Now.

01:40:19
Speaker 6: You have to see how much you're worth.

01:40:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, yah hard and.

01:40:22
Speaker 3: Do they just reveal like it's a big like they show you a number whatever, because that's just got that feeling.

01:40:27
Speaker 1: You walk in and they open a briefcase and it has a number.

01:40:31
Speaker 2: Like you're lying, what what does your agent tell you? Like this is what the market looks like outside of Vanderbilt?

01:40:39
Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much?

01:40:40
Speaker 5: Like you even have like real exit meetings with your coaches anymore, like to where you're talking about that, you're talking about football, well, door is it more just kind of my transactional Like you walk in and coaches like, hey, what are you hearing out there? You're like, I'm kind of hearing this and we're like, man, we hope we get you back. And that's kind of your exit meeting.

01:40:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael, which is more old school. So like I I talk about football with him and and I'm sure after whenever we're done playing, we're gonna have exit meetings. But when it comes like all the other stuff, like I try to stay out of it. I don't really want to hear much of it, you know, I'm like focused on football at that point.

01:41:14
Speaker 6: The way we did last or two is you got a paper, you wrote down what you liked, what you didn't like, and then how much you wanted for the next year to come back.

01:41:22
Speaker 1: That is crazy crazy?

01:41:24
Speaker 4: Who do you send it to Santa.

01:41:30
Speaker 6: Santa and I, yeah, yes, it is what you like.

01:41:33
Speaker 2: Meeting will be like you go to the position coach and they'd be like, hey, there's what you did well this year. There's what you need to work on, and they'd be.

01:41:38
Speaker 6: Like you would you would have the head coach and you work on what do you think you need to prove on, what they thought you needed to prove on, and then uh those other things. Oh and then where you're going to be training in the off season, how you're going to get it done? Do you have a weight room to work out it?

01:41:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, but this is all on a form.

01:41:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you would you would fill it out and then you would go talk to your coach about it.

01:42:00
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, my coach is a little different. My coach sits down, I'll tell you, you know, you have a conversation about the year, and then at the end he's like I have to do this and then kind of hand you the paper that you fill out like one through five what you like. But I mean that's pretty basic, I feel like around the country right now, Yeah.

01:42:17
Speaker 5: It's probably. It's definitely probably what it's like now. It's it's bizarre hearing. And no, we weren't in the nil so hearing how the exit meetings are happening now because when I would talk to coaches after the season, are like, you know, where you're breaking down the year or whatever. He's like, Will bro like these the exit meetings aren't even exit meetings anymore. It's they walk in and it's kind of like, hey, are you guys gonna be able to get to this number? If not, I'll be in the portal.

01:42:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, is nuts. It's good guys that get agents now, like it allows the player to like step away from it so you don't like jeopardize a relationship kind.

01:42:46
Speaker 5: Of which these are crazy because they're taking like ten percent of you know, coaches hate that. It's like instead of talking to the player, it's like, hey, you're gonna be talking about agent like this this fucking guy. Yeah.

01:42:56
Speaker 6: Oh and they hate yeah, yeah, yeah, they hate agents.

01:43:03
Speaker 2: That is fucking nuts. Dude. They want to Yeah, they got to, They got to, and we do taking ten percent, that's crazy. That's not nuts crazy. You'd be better off negotiating for yourself.

01:43:14
Speaker 6: Negotiate for yourself, negotiate something even lower and you'll still get the same amount of money. And then I also think that kids don't thinking about taxes either.

01:43:21
Speaker 2: Yeah Vanderbilt, Yeah, no sittinghom tax, no stadium.

01:43:24
Speaker 5: How do you guys, how do you guys even get privy to that? Like the tax of you guys?

01:43:28
Speaker 1: We have meetings, students, they make it so good about that.

01:43:30
Speaker 6: They have meetings about everything really literally everything. There's an agent meeting, uh things tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning.

01:43:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell us about NFL agents and stuff for.

01:43:39
Speaker 5: The guys that there's agents that take I bet there is.

01:43:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could get it.

01:43:46
Speaker 2: You stay a couple of guys. Hey, last time you were here in the summertime, we talked about you having other offers to go elsewhere. Did you say the number when we're on the bus last time?

01:43:57
Speaker 1: Yeah?

01:43:58
Speaker 5: I think he did, because he did.

01:44:00
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, four point five. Did you say the school?

01:44:03
Speaker 1: They did that?

01:44:04
Speaker 6: No?

01:44:04
Speaker 2: Are you willing to say it now we're past it?

01:44:06
Speaker 1: No?

01:44:06
Speaker 6: No, No, I won't say it. I will say it later on in life.

01:44:11
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, okay.

01:44:14
Speaker 6: Probably the Titans, was hey, telling that telling the Titan story? Please?

01:44:20
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. We were at a dinner or something and something.

01:44:25
Speaker 3: It was like fancy people, some rich person and then uh some oh the Owner's Titans, like their brass was there, some of their people. And I was like, oh, woul, y'all draft diego, you know, and they're got They're like.

01:44:39
Speaker 4: He's a little small for us. They said. We were kind of like guys like this guy.

01:44:42
Speaker 3: And they pointed to one of their players was sitting there and they're like, this guy's six seven, And I was like, that guy's one and seven, eight and two right now in the toughest conference. I'm like, I know it's not apples to apples, but fucking you know what I'm saying.

01:44:58
Speaker 5: That is.

01:45:01
Speaker 4: Guy, It's just it's like, what would you lose?

01:45:04
Speaker 3: Like, especially five thousand extra people would buy tickets every week to go across town and watch him or to watch Kate play guys that they know and care about from watching the team here, you know, watching number eleven.

01:45:14
Speaker 4: What's that guy's name? Long Long Fellow, long Well.

01:45:18
Speaker 6: And Longwell grew up here too.

01:45:19
Speaker 3: He really Yeah, yeah, that guy's great, dude. I mean, there's so many of the players if you pulled him in, like they have nothing to lose. They're losing right now.

01:45:26
Speaker 4: So what do you got then? Nothing?

01:45:28
Speaker 6: Not? This guy plays like Fred Warren.

01:45:30
Speaker 1: He is a dog and he's young too. I think he's a true sophomore.

01:45:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, ship, he is a no.

01:45:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, they got to keep him.

01:45:37
Speaker 1: He's either true sophomore or true junior.

01:45:40
Speaker 2: It seems like Fandy's gonna be solid for a couple more years.

01:45:43
Speaker 5: It's yeah, the way everybody's talking about this, this Corbet.

01:45:45
Speaker 1: Who's he?

01:45:46
Speaker 6: Georgia, He's the George is the king of losing number one? He's the second. I got everybody in class this year.

01:45:53
Speaker 2: Who's the number one?

01:45:54
Speaker 6: I can't remember? He used to be number one, but he dropped a number two.

01:45:59
Speaker 5: What are you doing?

01:45:59
Speaker 2: Uh, okay, let's say citrus heart's broken, we don't go to the playoff. You're playing that game? Do you already have a plan for Uh? I think it's.

01:46:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not even cheese about it.

01:46:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:46:13
Speaker 2: Well, let's just say after the season, what is what is your plan for getting ready for the combine? Do you know where you're gonna go and do all that?

01:46:21
Speaker 6: No, I don't know. I don't have an NFL agent yet. I just like to think about winning this playoffs. But I'll probably take like two weeks off to let my body recover a little bit, do some recovery, and uh, I'll get back in the weight room and be ready for.

01:46:37
Speaker 2: Pro day doing the combine.

01:46:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna do the combine too. What what do you think you're running in the forty Yeah, I don't know. I've got a lot faster since last year. I would probably say like four to nine low four six, oh for middle four six.

01:46:58
Speaker 5: Speed, moving speak, kills speak do you guys?

01:47:04
Speaker 6: Oh, I gotta get my nose fixed to more aero dynamic.

01:47:07
Speaker 1: Was you in your nose?

01:47:09
Speaker 6: I broke it during Saturday's game? First drive you.

01:47:14
Speaker 5: Shiner?

01:47:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did have a little black guy to stop maybe Broadway getting nuts? How did you break it?

01:47:30
Speaker 1: Can't this thing?

01:47:32
Speaker 6: You gotta try it.

01:47:34
Speaker 2: How awful sleeping at night with a broken nose?

01:47:36
Speaker 5: Oh?

01:47:36
Speaker 6: Did the words? You wake up every like hour?

01:47:39
Speaker 2: It's the worst?

01:47:39
Speaker 1: Yeah? God.

01:47:41
Speaker 5: One thing I want to ask you guys went to a bowl game last year? Like, what's what's the feeling around bowl games?

01:47:46
Speaker 6: No?

01:47:47
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's yeah, definitely say last year.

01:47:51
Speaker 6: I mean it was cool to go last year because vandert Bilt hasn't been to a bowl game in a while, so that was cool. And then we got to play a good team Georgia Tech. We gotta play haynes Key hanging skiing is the best. He's good.

01:48:03
Speaker 5: But as far as like prepping for a bowl game and everything else, like you, because there's a lot of teams that like sit a bunch of guys out, Like he said, did Vandy have guys sitting out and stuff last year? Like what does it mean like when you guys are sitting there practicing to.

01:48:13
Speaker 6: The best story of it all. So this is like during contract negotiations, right, It's like this is like if you're not your contract doesn't sign, Like it's like, okay, you do your practice, do you not? Eli stood out until his contract was signed, so like he didn't practice the whole week until like Tuesday before the game. He was like hurt too though little Yeah he was hurt a little bit, but he could have practiced like the last week he was dragging it out.

01:48:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just so nuts, man. It's like it's it's like the NFL, it's like trickling down, but with college it's like every year, there's not like three four years.

01:48:45
Speaker 6: You're saying, like a free actor, Yes, so you're gonna start signing at least two year deals.

01:48:49
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, I think some guys down for a couple of years for sure. I think you need to do away with I think bowl games do not matter at all. Everyone's focused on college fall playoffs and if you don't make it like, if you guys don't make the playoff, like you don't, guys will give a ship about the Citrus Bowl. No disrespect, you don't give it. You don't care about these other bowl games. What they need to do is these playings and then like the Citrus Bowl and the Sugar Bowl and you know all these other like relevant bowl games now have relevant games that people are looking to get into the playoff.

01:49:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just make the playoffs.

01:49:22
Speaker 5: I need Nebraska to get eight wins.

01:49:25
Speaker 2: That's all good news that they are right now your floor next year seven.

01:49:30
Speaker 4: You've got seven wins out of a whole season.

01:49:36
Speaker 2: He goes, you got seven wins out of the whole season.

01:49:39
Speaker 5: We're seven and three, dropped the last two.

01:49:42
Speaker 1: Who's do you guys have an? Is there another one?

01:49:45
Speaker 5: No season? Regular season done? That's why we need this bowl games. Oh yeah, just encouragement, optimism.

01:49:54
Speaker 6: You're betting they're over And I'm trying to tell.

01:49:56
Speaker 2: I was trying to tell, Like last year Michigan was seven and five. We were seven to five. Last year we played Alabama, we beat Alabama in the bowl game. I don't think Alabama has another loss. I don't think Michigan has another win. It's just a bowl game. You just playing.

01:50:13
Speaker 1: It's over.

01:50:13
Speaker 2: It doesn't count towards your regular season scaling wins and losses.

01:50:17
Speaker 5: It's just.

01:50:20
Speaker 1: It does You can bet on bowl games game?

01:50:23
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, let me see, let me see if mine settled.

01:50:27
Speaker 6: It's not gonna say it's settled, but trust me. I made the same bet for South Carolina and it's not anything. Well, yeah they're three and whatever four.

01:50:35
Speaker 1: Old Nebraska being uh Nashville, it says.

01:50:38
Speaker 5: But it's seven and a half.

01:50:40
Speaker 4: It's over seven and a half regular season wins.

01:50:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's settled.

01:50:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know if the team, did they already pick who's gonna be in the college football playoffs or not?

01:50:49
Speaker 2: No, no, you'll be on Sunday.

01:50:52
Speaker 3: And can they pick any teams to be in it? Or does it have to be certain teams?

01:50:56
Speaker 5: There's gonna be certain teams. It's like the top five ranked conference champions they get automatic bids and then from there. Yeah, I think it's all like at large.

01:51:09
Speaker 3: So they could put a team that's number nineteen in there if they wanted to, and there's no nobody could say anything about it.

01:51:13
Speaker 5: If if Duke wins this weekend, if Duke beats Virginia in the a CC Championship. Two G five teams from the G five conferences they will get in, so JMU or Tulane in North Texas two. Because we're sitting here trying to break it down, like I'm like, I do hope you guys get in the playoffs. But playing on the other side, it's like, this is what happens, Like words are going to be room to get Vandy in. If X, Y and Z happens, they gotta put him in Notre Dame, Notre Dame Miami's ten and two.

01:51:44
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen, but I really hope you guys because.

01:51:50
Speaker 5: Texas is out there arguing for their three lost season. Yeah at blow it up, right, that sucks.

01:52:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is what you want to play for.

01:52:04
Speaker 1: It's either in or you win your bowl game by fifty and just be like we should have been in, you know, yeah, yes, I don't think they can leave us out of it. And then it's like, once we're in, we're gonna win it all.

01:52:17
Speaker 5: Like I know there's gonna be those those few teams. It's like you can't leave them out of it. But then a couple of them are gonna be told are.

01:52:26
Speaker 1: Going to have there, Like if they put the put Bandy and Diego Pobby in the playoff, it's like, well, they're just gonna win it all and that just wouldn't look good for them. I feel like, hell, yeah, that's what they're thinking.

01:52:38
Speaker 3: Do they let you know in advance or does your team only find out it a certain.

01:52:42
Speaker 1: It's like live, It's like we'll have like a viewing thing.

01:52:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, double watch along selection Sunday. All the schools will be sitting there watching and then they'll get it now and still have a reaction.

01:52:51
Speaker 2: Hey there you guys.

01:52:52
Speaker 5: Hope you guys are celebrating the selection Sunday a little bit.

01:52:58
Speaker 1: There's no doubt.

01:52:59
Speaker 10: You sow many teams in the playoff currently. If you into the season right now, would want to play Vanderbilt zero.

01:53:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:53:09
Speaker 10: It's the same thing that happened with South Carolina last year. It's like they were the hottest team at the time.

01:53:14
Speaker 5: I think we're really gonna have an idea who's gonna get in based on because this episode is tomorrow, so Tuesday, as everybody's listening tonight, when they have the rankings, we're gonna know who's probably gonna get it, who's probably gonna be left out if they got If they got both Notre Dame and Miami above Vanderbilt, then it's good. It's just they don't play a game this weekend. So once selection Sunday happens, those are gonna be the teams that would get in before you.

01:53:37
Speaker 3: So so so so the ranks does matter that that so that does determine.

01:53:42
Speaker 5: In this scenario, the rankings, the rankings still kind of tell you these are the teams to get in. But no matter what, automatic teams that get in is the five highest ranked conference champions. So Duke, who's not even ranked if they beat Virginia, Virginia is gonna fall out of rankings, Tulane or Texas, gamis you. They're all probably in the ranking somewhere, not very high, but they'll get in above a Vanderbilt, potentially in Miami, potentially a Notre Dame Texas.

01:54:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sucks, Yeah, it is a it's a it's a messy situation for you guys, for sure. If you guys don't go with the playoff, would you humor the idea of not playing the bowl game.

01:54:26
Speaker 6: As long as everyone plays as long as ye, as long as everyone is it's still willing to play. Maybe Eli will sit out, but that'll probably be the only one.

01:54:37
Speaker 1: We don't get in the playoff. Dude, we got on.

01:54:38
Speaker 5: Situation hadn't even unfolded, probably right now, and I hope, like, what all right?

01:54:48
Speaker 6: What the.

01:54:51
Speaker 5: Had up for your best possible chance to get in? Is Texas Tech winning, Virginia winning, beating Duke, and then Bama getting blown out by Georgia.

01:55:02
Speaker 1: What if Tech blows out b y u UVA blows out Duke and Bama's close.

01:55:08
Speaker 5: I bet Bama stays in.

01:55:10
Speaker 6: But I thought they said they can't use this against them.

01:55:13
Speaker 2: They don't hold a lot of weight. They're going to hold a lot of weight.

01:55:16
Speaker 5: They lost.

01:55:17
Speaker 2: They use by multi two, two touchdowns, three scores, whatever it is. That's when it's like, Okay, do we have it right Yeah? Do we have it right now? If it's a game, it's a field goals, it's a one touchdown and they lose, because you think, like, if you're Alabama and you get held out of the of the conference championship or out of the playoff, what does their seging look like? They're gonna beat down the doors too and be like, what the fuck is this? You guys said it doesn't matter now we're talking about these conference championship games don't matter at all. So it's it's a it's a it's gonna be messy no matter what. Who would you rather piss off to? If you're college football Bama or Vanderbilt Bama, Yeah, you would not want to piss them off more.

01:55:57
Speaker 1: You want to know, I feel like they'd want to not piss us. They want to not piss Bama off because it's Bama, right, And they're like, oh, it's still just banner bros.

01:56:05
Speaker 2: The logo. That's when the logo plays against you.

01:56:07
Speaker 6: We have something like that.

01:56:08
Speaker 2: Though we know we're sitting you guys should be in and I agree with you. However, that's not how the world views this.

01:56:14
Speaker 5: We're their position at right now is you guys are twelve and the no, that's the And then they dropped last week by.

01:56:23
Speaker 2: Three tons and they dropped in the eight people.

01:56:25
Speaker 6: But I think they're trying to use your verse psychology because last week we went up in the eight people but went down in the other pool. So hopefully they'll just flip it.

01:56:32
Speaker 1: They're just trying to mess with us.

01:56:36
Speaker 5: Dude, what a season?

01:56:40
Speaker 1: You got like five more games?

01:56:41
Speaker 5: Chao awesome.

01:56:42
Speaker 2: It is crazy. We're all gonna sit here just kind of watching, loving what's going on. And their minds are just like all I care about Joe Moore, Heisman and making the playoffs. We're just sitting here being like this is crazy, right, and they're like, this is our fucking life, Like we're all we're all entertained by your guys' life right now.

01:56:59
Speaker 4: It's so crazy.

01:57:00
Speaker 3: Think about like a friend of mine was saying, how they never like they've never even known how to act when the team is winning, like in the third quarter, Like sometimes they're like the crowd was silent like early in the season, they'd never been there.

01:57:11
Speaker 4: They have no idea what to do. It's not like they're passing out a flyer, it's like, okay, this is how you act now.

01:57:16
Speaker 3: Like they've been like they've stood like little to no chance. And I don't mean that negatively, but overall, they've always kind of like they haven't really known what to do when they were winning or in a position and win, how to even act in that used to lose.

01:57:29
Speaker 5: Your right used to being angry and arguing with whoever's next film.

01:57:32
Speaker 3: So this is a change of culture, man, I mean, and I think that's one thing about the Heisman that that I think it's like the perseverance that it takes to stay in there. That's one of the words that they use when they describe who should win the Heisman, you know, the perseverance that it takes to stay in there and what you're dealing with. Like, I think it's a whole different thing that happened here.

01:57:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you're you're gonna be set up, bro, good luck. I know the board we're all rooting for you. We're all hoping that the Pavia Heisman. I think you'll be tuned in Saturday watching the Mendoz and saying going back and forth, praying for some good defense all game for sure.

01:58:06
Speaker 6: No, whatever's supposed to or meant to happen, will happen.

01:58:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's written.

I would do anything for Natty. I also think it's already written though, so I already think it's gonna happen. But I would do anything for Natty.

01:58:50
Speaker 5: You guys win the Natty. Yeah, Taylor to send the boys to Vegas.
