So Long, 2024

[00:00:00] I will take projection

[00:00:06] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, I am TD, that is Greg. Greg, how are you doing, man?

[00:00:11] Pretty good, how are you?

[00:00:14] I'm good, man. You know, good solid Christmas week. How about yourself?

[00:00:18] Same. Good week.

[00:00:20] Yeah. It was. Any exciting gifts? Or do they all go to the kids now?

[00:00:28] They usually go to the kids. I mean, they got some cool stuff.

[00:00:31] Yeah. Christmas pretty much is a kid's day, it seems like.

[00:00:37] For sure, right? It's funny to think about stuff you get now that you actually get excited about.

[00:00:46] Or, you know, just like, we got a gift card to a nice restaurant in town for my mom.

[00:00:54] And then my wife bought me a nice little Dutch oven for cooking.

[00:01:02] Yeah, it's funny.

[00:01:03] Yeah, right. Back in the day, you know, it would have been like, what is this lame-ass shit?

[00:01:08] Yeah, what the fuck?

[00:01:10] Yeah.

[00:01:12] But yeah, let's, uh...

[00:01:15] Of course, you know, just bowl week going on this week in the college game.

[00:01:20] Uh, no playoff games or anything overly important this week, but, uh...

[00:01:26] It's a lot of interesting games, though.

[00:01:28] Even though, you know, everybody says how bad the bowls are with it that aren't involved in the playoff.

[00:01:33] But a lot of entertaining games that happened this week.

[00:01:36] There were, yeah. A lot of fun stuff.

[00:01:38] You know, we had that, what was it, five overtimes on Christmas Eve?

[00:01:42] Yeah.

[00:01:44] Uh, who was at USF?

[00:01:45] And, um...

[00:01:47] Who the hell did they play?

[00:01:49] There you are.

[00:01:50] I'm blanking.

[00:01:51] That was, uh...

[00:01:54] Let's see.

[00:01:56] I'm trying to think.

[00:01:57] Since we last talked, though.

[00:01:58] Yeah, we had pretty...

[00:02:00] You had that, uh...

[00:02:02] Two overtimes in the potato bowl between...

[00:02:04] Yeah, South Florida.

[00:02:05] South Florida, San Jose State, five overtimes on Christmas Eve.

[00:02:08] Yeah.

[00:02:09] I mean, we had Toledo-Pittsburgh go six overtimes on Thursday.

[00:02:13] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:14] Even before that, Monday, NIU and Fresno played that two-overtime game.

[00:02:18] Yeah.

[00:02:19] Um, Kansas State Rutgers played a close one.

[00:02:22] Arkansas State Green played a close one.

[00:02:25] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:25] They're down, like, 17.

[00:02:27] Late in the...

[00:02:30] Second half.

[00:02:31] Yeah.

[00:02:31] Good comeback there.

[00:02:33] Yeah, Navy and Oklahoma played a close one on Friday.

[00:02:36] Uh, the Birmingham Bowl here,

[00:02:37] delayed by weather,

[00:02:39] but Vanderbilt held on

[00:02:42] over Georgia Tech.

[00:02:43] Uh...

[00:02:44] We're talking a lot of trash about us.

[00:02:46] Ha!

[00:02:46] Yeah.

[00:02:47] That's a little bit terrible.

[00:02:48] Oh, okay.

[00:02:49] Man, that has been an odd thing.

[00:02:51] I mean, and that just goes to show you

[00:02:53] Alabama's still Alabama.

[00:02:55] For all...

[00:02:56] There have been a lot of talk about Alabama

[00:02:58] in all these bowl games,

[00:03:00] but should they get in?

[00:03:02] Damn, I thought, you know...

[00:03:04] Well, the team's all say it's terrible.

[00:03:06] Right?

[00:03:07] Yeah.

[00:03:07] And we should...

[00:03:08] Yeah, we do get a lot of talk.

[00:03:10] And, uh, I do want to say, though,

[00:03:12] for all these people trying to clown on Bama

[00:03:14] by saying,

[00:03:14] Ooh, you know, Navy beat them,

[00:03:16] but you couldn't.

[00:03:17] Oklahoma has lost 25 people

[00:03:19] since we played them.

[00:03:22] Um, so that was not the same team.

[00:03:24] I mean, credit to Navy, but...

[00:03:27] Kudos to Navy.

[00:03:29] Oh.

[00:03:29] But, yeah, no.

[00:03:30] Uh, other fun game,

[00:03:31] that Las Vegas Bowl,

[00:03:32] USC and Texas A&M,

[00:03:34] that was a fun one.

[00:03:35] That was a good...

[00:03:36] Yeah.

[00:03:36] A great game.

[00:03:37] I mean, the Aggies definitely blew that one.

[00:03:40] They were...

[00:03:40] Oh, absolutely.

[00:03:42] Yeah.

[00:03:43] I mean, you know, USC...

[00:03:45] Man, but...

[00:03:46] You know, it's just something...

[00:03:48] I don't know,

[00:03:49] something definitely missing

[00:03:50] at USC Vaughn tournament.

[00:03:52] It was a good win for them,

[00:03:53] but I don't know.

[00:03:55] You know?

[00:03:57] Yeah, it's starting to question

[00:03:58] if maybe Lincoln Riley

[00:03:59] wasn't the coach

[00:04:00] we kind of thought he was.

[00:04:02] If he was just riding,

[00:04:04] you know,

[00:04:04] the end of the Bob Stoop era

[00:04:07] at Oklahoma.

[00:04:07] I mean, he came into

[00:04:08] a great situation.

[00:04:10] I mean, he got Baker Mayfield

[00:04:12] and he was able to give,

[00:04:13] you know,

[00:04:15] Jalen Hurts

[00:04:15] right after that.

[00:04:17] And then he came into,

[00:04:19] you know,

[00:04:19] Caleb Williams

[00:04:21] and...

[00:04:22] What's his name?

[00:04:24] So, I mean,

[00:04:25] he came into...

[00:04:26] Rattler,

[00:04:27] so, I mean,

[00:04:27] he came into some great

[00:04:28] quarterback situations.

[00:04:31] You know,

[00:04:32] even when Rattler

[00:04:33] fell off a little bit,

[00:04:34] I mean,

[00:04:34] he had Caleb Williams

[00:04:36] right there.

[00:04:37] So, I mean,

[00:04:37] that's crazy.

[00:04:38] Yeah.

[00:04:39] So, I mean,

[00:04:39] he had...

[00:04:40] And there was a plethora

[00:04:41] of talent in Oklahoma.

[00:04:42] I mean,

[00:04:43] there still weren't...

[00:04:43] I mean,

[00:04:44] at that point,

[00:04:44] I mean,

[00:04:45] it was still one

[00:04:46] of the top programs

[00:04:47] in America.

[00:04:48] So, I mean,

[00:04:49] they were getting recruits.

[00:04:51] But, yeah,

[00:04:52] I don't know.

[00:04:53] I mean,

[00:04:53] you know,

[00:04:53] they did a great job

[00:04:54] coming back.

[00:04:56] That's one thing.

[00:04:56] The Aggies,

[00:04:57] they don't know

[00:04:57] how to keep a lead.

[00:04:59] No, yeah.

[00:05:00] They haven't learned

[00:05:01] how to win there.

[00:05:03] Yeah, exactly.

[00:05:04] It's a program

[00:05:04] that hasn't learned

[00:05:05] how to win.

[00:05:05] And a little surprising

[00:05:06] with a guy like

[00:05:07] Mike Elko as coach.

[00:05:09] But, you know,

[00:05:09] hey,

[00:05:09] like,

[00:05:10] that comes with culture.

[00:05:12] And, you know,

[00:05:12] obviously,

[00:05:13] Jimbo didn't have it there.

[00:05:15] And so,

[00:05:15] Mike Elko's got to build that.

[00:05:17] Right.

[00:05:17] And you would think

[00:05:18] a defensive-minded guy

[00:05:19] like him would,

[00:05:20] you know,

[00:05:20] really emphasize

[00:05:21] closing out games

[00:05:22] like that.

[00:05:23] Yeah.

[00:05:24] I'm sure they'll figure it out.

[00:05:25] But, man,

[00:05:25] it was crazy

[00:05:26] because as dead

[00:05:27] as USC was

[00:05:28] for a while

[00:05:29] they gained

[00:05:29] their fourth quarter,

[00:05:30] they were,

[00:05:31] basically,

[00:05:31] they put up

[00:05:32] a lot of points.

[00:05:34] Yeah,

[00:05:34] they look like,

[00:05:35] you know,

[00:05:35] the potential

[00:05:36] of what USC

[00:05:37] can be,

[00:05:38] really.

[00:05:38] Yeah.

[00:05:40] Other notable results

[00:05:42] from this weekend,

[00:05:42] Nebraska clinched

[00:05:43] its first winning season

[00:05:44] since 2016.

[00:05:46] Yep.

[00:05:47] First bowl win

[00:05:48] since 2015.

[00:05:51] Yep.

[00:05:52] Iowa State

[00:05:53] and Miami

[00:05:53] played a great

[00:05:54] Pop-Tarts Bowl.

[00:05:55] Yeah,

[00:05:56] and I mean,

[00:05:56] that was a,

[00:05:57] I mean,

[00:05:57] that was another

[00:05:58] big thing,

[00:05:59] you know.

[00:06:00] Looked bad

[00:06:00] with Cameron Moore

[00:06:02] playing their first half,

[00:06:03] breaking the record,

[00:06:05] and then rolling out.

[00:06:07] Yeah,

[00:06:08] breaking a record

[00:06:08] that he might not

[00:06:09] hold for too long

[00:06:11] as Dylan Gabriel

[00:06:12] needs five to tie him,

[00:06:14] six more touchdown passes

[00:06:16] to beat him.

[00:06:17] Certainly could do that

[00:06:18] with, you know,

[00:06:19] potentially three more games.

[00:06:20] Now,

[00:06:21] I'm like,

[00:06:22] I understand everything

[00:06:23] and, you know,

[00:06:23] people are saying,

[00:06:24] Mario pulled him.

[00:06:26] But, man,

[00:06:27] at the end of that game,

[00:06:28] he could have came

[00:06:29] in that last drive.

[00:06:31] I'm sorry.

[00:06:32] I would,

[00:06:33] I would,

[00:06:34] man,

[00:06:35] I don't,

[00:06:36] but, you know,

[00:06:37] you know,

[00:06:37] great win for Iowa State.

[00:06:40] I mean,

[00:06:41] you know,

[00:06:42] we,

[00:06:42] you know,

[00:06:43] we get jaded

[00:06:43] as far as Alabama fans,

[00:06:45] you know,

[00:06:46] just with what we expect

[00:06:47] so many wins.

[00:06:49] Iowa State

[00:06:49] got their first

[00:06:51] 11-win season

[00:06:52] in program history

[00:06:54] this week.

[00:06:55] Yeah.

[00:06:56] After,

[00:06:56] they played football

[00:06:57] for 130 years.

[00:06:59] I mean,

[00:06:59] it just gives you

[00:07:00] perspective at times

[00:07:01] just how special

[00:07:02] of a program

[00:07:03] some of us have.

[00:07:06] Absolutely.

[00:07:06] Yeah.

[00:07:07] We've talked about it before

[00:07:08] and, you know,

[00:07:10] there are some other podcasts.

[00:07:11] I know

[00:07:13] if anybody listens

[00:07:14] to the Solid Verbal,

[00:07:15] good college football

[00:07:17] podcast,

[00:07:17] they've talked about this

[00:07:18] before too.

[00:07:19] And

[00:07:20] I hear

[00:07:21] some guys,

[00:07:22] some soccer podcasts

[00:07:24] I listen to

[00:07:25] talk about it too.

[00:07:26] and perspective

[00:07:29] and lowering expectations

[00:07:30] is a real thing

[00:07:31] that you need

[00:07:32] in sports like this

[00:07:33] where

[00:07:34] there's a set,

[00:07:35] you know,

[00:07:35] there's blue bloods,

[00:07:37] there's an elite class

[00:07:38] of teams

[00:07:38] that have,

[00:07:39] that realistically

[00:07:40] can win titles

[00:07:41] and then there's,

[00:07:42] you know,

[00:07:43] lower tiers of teams

[00:07:44] and

[00:07:45] what makes a great season

[00:07:47] for an Alabama,

[00:07:49] you know,

[00:07:49] or what makes a poor season

[00:07:51] for an Alabama

[00:07:51] might make a great season

[00:07:53] for,

[00:07:53] like you said,

[00:07:53] an Iowa State

[00:07:54] or some other program.

[00:07:56] We talked,

[00:07:56] you know,

[00:07:57] Army this year,

[00:07:58] of course,

[00:07:59] first ever conference

[00:07:59] championship.

[00:08:00] Granted,

[00:08:00] they never played,

[00:08:01] you know,

[00:08:01] in the conferences

[00:08:02] but still,

[00:08:02] first ever conference title,

[00:08:04] first ever 12-win season,

[00:08:05] yeah.

[00:08:06] And I mean,

[00:08:06] they were ecstatic.

[00:08:08] And the crazy thing

[00:08:09] about it is

[00:08:09] they still lost the Navy

[00:08:10] so you wonder how

[00:08:12] important,

[00:08:12] I mean,

[00:08:13] it still means a lot

[00:08:13] but I mean,

[00:08:14] clearly that's

[00:08:14] their biggest game

[00:08:15] and they got hammered.

[00:08:17] Yeah,

[00:08:17] you know,

[00:08:17] yeah,

[00:08:18] they'll still be,

[00:08:18] they'll still be.

[00:08:19] I tell you what,

[00:08:20] you know,

[00:08:20] my mom

[00:08:22] and her partner

[00:08:23] both Army vets themselves,

[00:08:24] they were not happy

[00:08:25] with the events

[00:08:26] of that day.

[00:08:27] I can imagine.

[00:08:29] I mean,

[00:08:29] I think really people

[00:08:31] thought the Army

[00:08:31] was going to house Navy

[00:08:32] that day.

[00:08:33] I mean,

[00:08:34] all the signs were there.

[00:08:35] I mean,

[00:08:36] I think all the signs

[00:08:36] were there.

[00:08:37] I don't know

[00:08:38] if the extra week off

[00:08:38] made that much

[00:08:39] of a difference

[00:08:40] or if you don't,

[00:08:41] I don't know.

[00:08:42] But,

[00:08:43] nonetheless,

[00:08:44] I mean,

[00:08:45] you know,

[00:08:45] great end of the season,

[00:08:46] you hate that,

[00:08:47] you know,

[00:08:48] that they didn't play

[00:08:48] a better opponent.

[00:08:49] You know,

[00:08:50] they ended up

[00:08:51] playing a lot

[00:08:51] with the La Tech

[00:08:53] who was a 5-7

[00:08:55] team there.

[00:08:59] Yeah,

[00:08:59] no,

[00:09:00] you know,

[00:09:00] a La Tech team

[00:09:01] that had a

[00:09:02] last-minute replacement.

[00:09:05] But,

[00:09:05] I mean,

[00:09:06] great,

[00:09:06] great end of the year.

[00:09:08] You know,

[00:09:09] 12 wins,

[00:09:09] Iowa State with 11 wins.

[00:09:12] So,

[00:09:12] I mean,

[00:09:13] perspective,

[00:09:14] I mean,

[00:09:15] you think how many

[00:09:16] of 11 wins

[00:09:17] we've seen

[00:09:17] in the last decade.

[00:09:18] You know,

[00:09:19] it's crazy.

[00:09:20] Exactly,

[00:09:20] yeah.

[00:09:20] Ho-hum,

[00:09:21] you know.

[00:09:22] Yeah,

[00:09:23] and you think about,

[00:09:24] you know,

[00:09:24] other schools,

[00:09:25] you know,

[00:09:25] Indiana,

[00:09:26] yeah,

[00:09:26] first-round flame out

[00:09:27] and didn't look

[00:09:28] competitive against

[00:09:29] Notre Dame,

[00:09:30] but still an

[00:09:31] absolutely great season

[00:09:32] for them.

[00:09:32] They've never done

[00:09:33] anything like that

[00:09:33] in their whole

[00:09:34] program history.

[00:09:35] Exactly.

[00:09:36] So,

[00:09:36] you gotta,

[00:09:37] you gotta look,

[00:09:38] you just gotta remember,

[00:09:40] yeah,

[00:09:40] take it in stride.

[00:09:41] Yeah.

[00:09:43] Elsewhere,

[00:09:43] a couple of

[00:09:44] surprising things.

[00:09:46] One,

[00:09:48] was sponsoring a bowl.

[00:09:49] So,

[00:09:50] he was great in the booth.

[00:09:51] Absolutely A-plus

[00:09:52] in the booth

[00:09:53] for that one.

[00:09:55] Two,

[00:09:56] that Alamo Bowl,

[00:09:57] BYU,

[00:09:58] just taking it

[00:09:59] to Colorado.

[00:10:00] Wow.

[00:10:00] Real surprising

[00:10:00] with Colorado

[00:10:01] with,

[00:10:01] yeah,

[00:10:02] they played

[00:10:03] with the guys.

[00:10:04] Yeah,

[00:10:04] Sanders and Hunter

[00:10:05] playing,

[00:10:05] they took out

[00:10:06] apparently

[00:10:06] the biggest

[00:10:09] insurance policy

[00:10:10] for,

[00:10:10] you know,

[00:10:11] some athlete

[00:10:11] in history

[00:10:12] or something

[00:10:12] crazy like that.

[00:10:13] doing that

[00:10:13] just to make

[00:10:14] sure people

[00:10:15] stayed,

[00:10:15] but,

[00:10:16] yeah,

[00:10:16] I mean,

[00:10:16] I was expecting

[00:10:17] a back and forth

[00:10:18] competitive game

[00:10:19] like you would

[00:10:20] expect of a Big 12

[00:10:22] heavyweights

[00:10:22] and there was

[00:10:23] anything but that.

[00:10:24] And it was over early.

[00:10:26] maybe,

[00:10:26] you thought maybe

[00:10:27] even a little,

[00:10:29] Colorado might have

[00:10:30] something to,

[00:10:31] you know,

[00:10:32] say in that game

[00:10:33] because,

[00:10:34] was it the BYU

[00:10:35] win late

[00:10:35] or loss

[00:10:36] kept Colorado

[00:10:37] from being in the

[00:10:38] title game,

[00:10:39] the Big 12 title game,

[00:10:40] so,

[00:10:41] no,

[00:10:41] yeah,

[00:10:42] BYU came out

[00:10:42] and looked like

[00:10:43] the team that was

[00:10:44] going undefeated

[00:10:44] and winning all those

[00:10:45] games throughout

[00:10:46] the first couple

[00:10:47] of parts of the season.

[00:10:48] may have been a

[00:10:49] playoff team if they

[00:10:50] had played like that

[00:10:50] those last couple

[00:10:51] weeks.

[00:10:52] Exactly,

[00:10:53] yeah.

[00:10:55] We still,

[00:10:56] you know,

[00:10:56] got a Sanders

[00:10:58] to Hunter touchdown

[00:10:59] though,

[00:10:59] so,

[00:11:00] they will go down

[00:11:01] and,

[00:11:02] you know,

[00:11:02] now,

[00:11:03] they get that big

[00:11:05] quarterback coming

[00:11:06] in there in Colorado

[00:11:06] and we'll see what

[00:11:07] Deion can do

[00:11:08] without

[00:11:09] without his guys.

[00:11:10] You know,

[00:11:10] his kid,

[00:11:11] yeah,

[00:11:11] his kid and Hunter

[00:11:12] see how they can

[00:11:13] take that next step

[00:11:14] in the rebuild.

[00:11:15] Right.

[00:11:16] Other surprising

[00:11:17] things are how

[00:11:18] many fights,

[00:11:19] again,

[00:11:19] I think we talked

[00:11:20] about this last year,

[00:11:21] I'm pretty sure

[00:11:21] one of our episodes

[00:11:23] is titled

[00:11:24] something about

[00:11:24] fighting and

[00:11:26] it's a lot of

[00:11:27] Adamas can do

[00:11:27] bowl games.

[00:11:28] Right,

[00:11:29] and it's so weird,

[00:11:29] these teams that

[00:11:30] never see each other.

[00:11:31] Even Army

[00:11:32] caught a penalty

[00:11:33] last night.

[00:11:34] Right,

[00:11:35] and yeah,

[00:11:36] those are disciplined

[00:11:36] dudes.

[00:11:37] There was one dude,

[00:11:38] did you watch

[00:11:38] the end of that

[00:11:39] game?

[00:11:39] There was one

[00:11:39] dude on La Tech

[00:11:41] who was just

[00:11:42] jawing it up

[00:11:43] right until the

[00:11:44] end,

[00:11:45] and he was

[00:11:45] getting to face

[00:11:46] a couple of

[00:11:46] these Army

[00:11:47] offensive linemen,

[00:11:48] and they were

[00:11:48] just looking at him.

[00:11:49] He got a big hit

[00:11:50] on the quarterback,

[00:11:51] I'm pretty sure

[00:11:51] a quarterback

[00:11:52] got up,

[00:11:53] slapped him on the

[00:11:54] helmet,

[00:11:54] good hit,

[00:11:55] and just smiled

[00:11:55] at him,

[00:11:56] and this dude

[00:11:57] was just talking.

[00:11:58] It's like,

[00:11:59] all right,

[00:11:59] bro,

[00:12:00] scoreboard.

[00:12:01] I don't know.

[00:12:02] I know they

[00:12:03] haven't been

[00:12:03] through,

[00:12:04] yeah,

[00:12:05] I don't know,

[00:12:05] I know they

[00:12:06] haven't,

[00:12:06] yeah,

[00:12:06] I know they

[00:12:07] haven't been

[00:12:07] through all

[00:12:08] their training

[00:12:08] yet,

[00:12:09] but I don't

[00:12:09] know if

[00:12:10] Army players

[00:12:11] are the one

[00:12:11] that I'm

[00:12:11] going to

[00:12:12] talk shit

[00:12:12] to.

[00:12:33] You know,

[00:12:34] you didn't

[00:12:34] see five and

[00:12:35] seven teams

[00:12:36] in bowl games,

[00:12:37] but it's still

[00:12:39] fun.

[00:12:39] You can tell

[00:12:40] these kids

[00:12:40] the way they

[00:12:41] play.

[00:12:41] It's fun for

[00:12:42] them.

[00:12:43] The people

[00:12:44] that are

[00:12:44] playing,

[00:12:45] they're playing

[00:12:46] to win.

[00:12:47] I mean,

[00:12:47] there's no doubt

[00:12:47] about it.

[00:12:48] No one's just

[00:12:49] out there.

[00:12:50] You know,

[00:12:50] it's not a

[00:12:51] Florida State

[00:12:51] situation from

[00:12:52] last year.

[00:12:53] No.

[00:12:54] Some teams

[00:12:54] have been

[00:12:55] blown out,

[00:12:55] but they

[00:12:55] were out

[00:12:57] there trying

[00:12:58] to win.

[00:12:59] I mean,

[00:13:00] I mean,

[00:13:01] I've been

[00:13:01] impressed

[00:13:02] with the

[00:13:02] bowl week.

[00:13:03] You know,

[00:13:04] if the

[00:13:05] second round

[00:13:05] of the

[00:13:05] playoff can

[00:13:06] even be

[00:13:06] anything like

[00:13:07] it,

[00:13:07] then we're

[00:13:08] in for a

[00:13:08] good week.

[00:13:10] Really,

[00:13:11] the bowls

[00:13:12] not associated

[00:13:13] with the

[00:13:13] playoffs have

[00:13:14] been much

[00:13:14] better so

[00:13:15] far than

[00:13:15] the playoff

[00:13:17] that everybody

[00:13:17] is paying

[00:13:18] attention to.

[00:13:19] So hopefully

[00:13:20] this second

[00:13:20] round,

[00:13:21] even half

[00:13:21] of it is

[00:13:22] as good

[00:13:22] as what

[00:13:22] we've seen

[00:13:23] for bowl

[00:13:23] week.

[00:13:23] I think

[00:13:24] we're in

[00:13:24] for a good

[00:13:25] one.

[00:13:26] Yeah,

[00:13:26] for sure.

[00:13:28] We're starting

[00:13:29] to get maybe

[00:13:29] a little more

[00:13:30] higher profile

[00:13:31] matchups

[00:13:31] too this

[00:13:32] week in

[00:13:32] just bowls.

[00:13:33] You've got

[00:13:33] Iowa,

[00:13:35] Missouri on

[00:13:35] Monday,

[00:13:37] Tuesday,

[00:13:37] Alabama,

[00:13:38] Michigan,

[00:13:39] Louisville,

[00:13:39] Washington,

[00:13:41] South Carolina,

[00:13:42] Illinois,

[00:13:42] Baylor,

[00:13:43] LSU.

[00:13:43] I think

[00:13:43] Baylor,

[00:13:44] LSU could

[00:13:44] be a really

[00:13:45] good game.

[00:13:46] Yeah,

[00:13:48] you've got

[00:13:49] an interesting

[00:13:50] one in Duke

[00:13:51] and Ole Miss

[00:13:52] later in the

[00:13:52] week.

[00:13:53] So yeah,

[00:13:54] there's still

[00:13:55] some fun

[00:13:58] ones out

[00:13:58] there for

[00:13:59] just bowls,

[00:13:59] but let's

[00:14:00] go ahead and

[00:14:00] pivot to the

[00:14:00] playoffs real

[00:14:01] quick.

[00:14:02] Let's look

[00:14:03] ahead to

[00:14:04] these games.

[00:14:06] Quarterfinal

[00:14:06] matchups,

[00:14:07] it starts

[00:14:07] Tuesday

[00:14:08] evening with

[00:14:09] the Fiesta

[00:14:10] Bowl in

[00:14:12] number six,

[00:14:13] Penn State,

[00:14:14] and the

[00:14:14] number three

[00:14:14] seed,

[00:14:15] Boise State.

[00:14:18] Penn State's

[00:14:19] pretty the

[00:14:23] favorite.

[00:14:23] pretty heavy

[00:14:24] favorite.

[00:14:27] Greg,

[00:14:28] let's see,

[00:14:29] I think

[00:14:30] obviously I

[00:14:30] don't think

[00:14:31] the question

[00:14:31] is does

[00:14:32] Boise have

[00:14:32] a shot?

[00:14:33] I do

[00:14:33] think they

[00:14:34] obviously

[00:14:35] have a shot

[00:14:35] with Ashton

[00:14:36] Jinty and

[00:14:38] well coached

[00:14:39] and just

[00:14:40] well disciplined

[00:14:41] team as they

[00:14:42] are.

[00:14:44] Would you

[00:14:45] though,

[00:14:48] I guess my

[00:14:48] question is,

[00:14:49] are you

[00:14:49] expecting a

[00:14:50] close game?

[00:14:51] Or would

[00:14:52] you be

[00:14:52] shocked if

[00:14:53] Boise State

[00:14:54] goes out there

[00:14:54] and wins

[00:14:55] or?

[00:14:56] What would

[00:14:56] it take to

[00:14:57] surprise you

[00:14:57] in this

[00:14:57] game?

[00:14:58] How about

[00:14:58] that?

[00:14:59] I think

[00:15:00] really the

[00:15:00] only thing

[00:15:00] that would

[00:15:00] shock me

[00:15:01] was if

[00:15:01] Boise just

[00:15:02] blew them

[00:15:02] off the

[00:15:02] mouth.

[00:15:03] Anything

[00:15:03] other than

[00:15:04] that,

[00:15:04] I'm not

[00:15:05] shocked by.

[00:15:06] I mean,

[00:15:06] I could

[00:15:06] see Penn State

[00:15:07] house in

[00:15:07] them,

[00:15:07] I could

[00:15:08] see Penn

[00:15:10] State winning

[00:15:11] close,

[00:15:11] and I could

[00:15:12] see Boise

[00:15:12] winning

[00:15:12] close.

[00:15:13] I think

[00:15:13] the only

[00:15:14] shock

[00:15:14] would be

[00:15:14] if

[00:15:15] Boise

[00:15:15] State

[00:15:15] just ran

[00:15:16] through them,

[00:15:16] which I

[00:15:17] don't think

[00:15:17] is going

[00:15:17] to happen,

[00:15:18] but I

[00:15:18] think

[00:15:19] that'd

[00:15:19] be

[00:15:19] the

[00:15:19] only

[00:15:19] thing

[00:15:19] would

[00:15:19] really

[00:15:20] shock

[00:15:20] me.

[00:15:20] Anything

[00:15:20] other

[00:15:21] than

[00:15:21] that,

[00:15:21] I

[00:15:21] wouldn't

[00:15:21] be

[00:15:22] shocked

[00:15:22] by.

[00:15:23] Yeah,

[00:15:24] I think

[00:15:24] I'm in

[00:15:25] the same

[00:15:25] agreement

[00:15:26] there.

[00:15:27] Not that

[00:15:27] Boise

[00:15:28] State isn't

[00:15:28] capable of

[00:15:29] blowing them

[00:15:30] out,

[00:15:31] just I

[00:15:31] don't

[00:15:31] think.

[00:15:32] I think

[00:15:33] Penn State's

[00:15:34] a little

[00:15:34] too talented

[00:15:35] to get

[00:15:36] blown out

[00:15:36] by Boise,

[00:15:37] but we've

[00:15:38] seen Boise,

[00:15:39] you know,

[00:15:39] they played

[00:15:40] Oregon tough

[00:15:40] as anybody

[00:15:41] has this

[00:15:42] year,

[00:15:42] so it

[00:15:45] should

[00:15:50] Yeah,

[00:15:51] You know,

[00:15:52] because,

[00:15:52] you know,

[00:15:53] we talked

[00:15:54] about last

[00:15:54] week,

[00:15:54] we were

[00:15:54] talking

[00:15:55] about

[00:15:56] Indiana

[00:15:56] SMU,

[00:15:57] they shouldn't

[00:15:57] even have

[00:15:58] been in.

[00:15:58] Now,

[00:15:59] I don't

[00:15:59] want to

[00:15:59] see Boise

[00:16:00] and I

[00:16:00] don't

[00:16:01] want to

[00:16:01] see Arizona

[00:16:01] State get

[00:16:02] blown out

[00:16:02] just because

[00:16:03] we're basically

[00:16:03] going to be,

[00:16:04] oh,

[00:16:04] see,

[00:16:04] two more

[00:16:05] teams are

[00:16:05] trying to

[00:16:05] have been

[00:16:05] in the

[00:16:05] playoff.

[00:16:06] And we

[00:16:06] haven't

[00:16:07] seen

[00:16:07] plenty of

[00:16:07] blowouts

[00:16:08] in playoff

[00:16:08] games when

[00:16:09] it was

[00:16:09] four.

[00:16:10] Yeah,

[00:16:10] right.

[00:16:11] That's

[00:16:11] my thing

[00:16:13] too.

[00:16:15] We need

[00:16:15] the little

[00:16:16] guys.

[00:16:16] We've

[00:16:17] seen

[00:16:17] plenty

[00:16:17] of

[00:16:17] blowouts

[00:16:17] in the

[00:16:18] Super Bowl.

[00:16:20] Every game,

[00:16:21] you know,

[00:16:22] I mean,

[00:16:22] things just

[00:16:23] jump off so

[00:16:23] quickly and

[00:16:24] you know,

[00:16:25] if you get

[00:16:25] a quick

[00:16:25] momentum

[00:16:25] going,

[00:16:26] it doesn't

[00:16:26] matter.

[00:16:28] Yeah,

[00:16:28] was it?

[00:16:28] Was it

[00:16:29] last Monday

[00:16:29] Night Football?

[00:16:30] Troy Aikman

[00:16:31] made a

[00:16:31] great point

[00:16:32] about that

[00:16:32] and they

[00:16:33] were,

[00:16:33] they actually

[00:16:34] were talking

[00:16:35] about the

[00:16:35] college game

[00:16:35] for a little

[00:16:36] bit and

[00:16:36] he said

[00:16:38] something to

[00:16:38] the effect

[00:16:39] of if

[00:16:40] there's a

[00:16:40] blowout

[00:16:40] in the

[00:16:41] Super Bowl,

[00:16:41] nobody

[00:16:41] questions

[00:16:42] whether the

[00:16:43] losing team

[00:16:43] should have

[00:16:44] been there

[00:16:44] or not.

[00:16:47] And again,

[00:16:47] this is why

[00:16:48] I harp on

[00:16:49] it so much.

[00:16:50] This is why

[00:16:50] you need

[00:16:51] a more

[00:16:52] set

[00:16:55] standard

[00:16:55] for who

[00:16:56] makes

[00:16:57] the playoffs.

[00:16:58] you need,

[00:16:59] you know,

[00:16:59] that's why I

[00:17:00] say you

[00:17:00] need conference

[00:17:01] champions

[00:17:01] in so you

[00:17:02] can have

[00:17:04] like,

[00:17:04] hey,

[00:17:04] this is how

[00:17:05] you get

[00:17:05] in.

[00:17:06] Everybody

[00:17:06] deserves to

[00:17:07] be here.

[00:17:07] There's,

[00:17:10] when this

[00:17:10] much

[00:17:11] conversation,

[00:17:11] we mentioned

[00:17:12] how many,

[00:17:12] how much

[00:17:13] people are

[00:17:13] talking about

[00:17:13] Alabama still

[00:17:15] when this

[00:17:16] much conversation

[00:17:16] centers around

[00:17:17] the 12th seed,

[00:17:19] you know,

[00:17:20] something's not

[00:17:20] quite right

[00:17:21] there,

[00:17:22] you know,

[00:17:23] and it's

[00:17:24] weird if

[00:17:25] it's,

[00:17:26] you know,

[00:17:26] something that

[00:17:27] ESPN is pushing.

[00:17:28] It's weird

[00:17:28] because they

[00:17:29] don't have

[00:17:29] to,

[00:17:30] the,

[00:17:31] the,

[00:17:32] the selection

[00:17:33] shows over.

[00:17:34] Yeah,

[00:17:34] we know,

[00:17:35] we know who's

[00:17:35] in the playoffs

[00:17:36] are over,

[00:17:36] so I don't

[00:17:36] know why we

[00:17:37] still need to

[00:17:38] keep talking

[00:17:39] about it.

[00:17:40] Yeah.

[00:17:40] Beating this

[00:17:41] dead horse.

[00:17:42] It's not

[00:17:42] really fair

[00:17:42] to the teams

[00:17:43] in the

[00:17:43] playoff.

[00:17:44] I mean,

[00:17:44] they're in

[00:17:44] the playoff.

[00:17:45] Let's just

[00:17:45] celebrate them.

[00:17:46] Talk about

[00:17:47] them.

[00:17:47] Exactly.

[00:17:47] Well,

[00:17:48] you know,

[00:17:48] you talk about

[00:17:48] Alabama during

[00:17:49] the Alabama

[00:17:49] game.

[00:17:50] Our Ole Miss

[00:17:51] is talking about

[00:17:51] them during

[00:17:52] our bowl

[00:17:52] game.

[00:17:53] Whatever it

[00:17:54] is you're

[00:17:54] talking about,

[00:17:54] let's just

[00:17:55] keep it and

[00:17:56] talk about

[00:17:57] the games

[00:17:57] that we

[00:17:57] have,

[00:17:58] you know?

[00:17:59] Exactly.

[00:17:59] Yeah,

[00:18:00] let's talk

[00:18:00] about football.

[00:18:01] Let's talk

[00:18:02] about what's

[00:18:02] on the field.

[00:18:03] Exactly.

[00:18:04] There's plenty,

[00:18:05] especially in

[00:18:06] these other

[00:18:06] bowl games,

[00:18:07] you're doing

[00:18:07] a disservice

[00:18:08] to the

[00:18:08] teams that

[00:18:09] are playing.

[00:18:09] Go find

[00:18:10] some quirky

[00:18:11] story about

[00:18:12] some player.

[00:18:13] Do what

[00:18:14] ESPN used

[00:18:15] to do,

[00:18:15] which is

[00:18:16] actually have

[00:18:16] journalists and

[00:18:17] reporters.

[00:18:20] But yeah,

[00:18:21] that should

[00:18:22] be a good

[00:18:22] one.

[00:18:23] I don't

[00:18:24] think anybody

[00:18:24] would be

[00:18:25] surprised if

[00:18:25] Boise pulls

[00:18:26] it out.

[00:18:27] I think

[00:18:27] most of the

[00:18:28] country will

[00:18:28] probably be

[00:18:29] rooting for

[00:18:29] that.

[00:18:30] I'm really

[00:18:31] interested to

[00:18:32] see how

[00:18:32] Ashton

[00:18:32] Gentry in

[00:18:33] that Boise

[00:18:34] run game

[00:18:35] goes against

[00:18:36] that Big Ten

[00:18:36] defense.

[00:18:38] Everybody

[00:18:38] said he

[00:18:39] wouldn't be

[00:18:40] so great

[00:18:41] in a bigger

[00:18:43] conference.

[00:18:44] We saw him

[00:18:44] do a big

[00:18:45] game against

[00:18:46] Oregon,

[00:18:46] but Oregon

[00:18:47] is an

[00:18:48] okay defense.

[00:18:49] But if he

[00:18:49] puts up big

[00:18:50] numbers against

[00:18:50] Penn State,

[00:18:51] which is

[00:18:51] I think

[00:18:52] one of

[00:18:53] the top

[00:18:57] 10 defense

[00:18:58] maybe?

[00:18:58] I don't

[00:18:59] know.

[00:18:59] They're a

[00:19:00] pretty solid

[00:19:00] defense.

[00:19:02] If he

[00:19:02] puts up

[00:19:03] 150-200

[00:19:04] on them,

[00:19:05] then obviously

[00:19:05] what he's

[00:19:06] done is

[00:19:06] legit.

[00:19:07] You can't

[00:19:08] question it.

[00:19:09] This is a

[00:19:11] guy that's

[00:19:12] getting a lot

[00:19:13] of first

[00:19:13] round talk

[00:19:14] for the

[00:19:15] NFL draft

[00:19:15] too.

[00:19:16] He's not

[00:19:16] a scrub.

[00:19:18] You look

[00:19:18] at it

[00:19:19] too.

[00:19:20] We talk

[00:19:20] about

[00:19:21] people

[00:19:21] say,

[00:19:22] look,

[00:19:23] he did

[00:19:23] it against

[00:19:24] Mountain

[00:19:25] West

[00:19:25] teams.

[00:19:26] Understandable.

[00:19:27] Also,

[00:19:28] if he were

[00:19:28] in the

[00:19:28] SEC or

[00:19:28] the Big

[00:19:29] Ten,

[00:19:29] he'd

[00:19:29] have

[00:19:29] quite

[00:19:30] a

[00:19:30] better

[00:19:31] offensive

[00:19:31] line as

[00:19:32] well.

[00:19:33] Exactly.

[00:19:34] It goes

[00:19:34] both ways.

[00:19:38] You

[00:19:38] mentioned

[00:19:39] the

[00:19:40] other

[00:19:40] little

[00:19:41] guy,

[00:19:42] even

[00:19:42] though

[00:19:42] they're

[00:19:42] a big

[00:19:43] power

[00:19:44] conference

[00:19:44] team.

[00:19:45] Arizona

[00:19:45] State,

[00:19:45] they'll

[00:19:47] kick off

[00:19:47] Wednesday's

[00:19:48] games in

[00:19:48] the Peach

[00:19:49] Bowl against

[00:19:49] Texas.

[00:19:50] Texas.

[00:19:52] I think

[00:19:52] this one

[00:19:53] would be

[00:19:53] a little

[00:19:54] more

[00:19:54] shocking

[00:19:54] if

[00:19:55] Arizona

[00:19:55] State

[00:19:56] won

[00:19:57] just

[00:19:58] because

[00:19:58] their

[00:19:59] whole

[00:19:59] season

[00:19:59] has been

[00:20:00] shocking.

[00:20:00] They

[00:20:00] came out

[00:20:01] of

[00:20:01] nowhere,

[00:20:02] picked

[00:20:02] near

[00:20:03] last

[00:20:03] or

[00:20:03] last

[00:20:04] by

[00:20:04] pretty

[00:20:04] much

[00:20:05] everyone

[00:20:05] in

[00:20:05] Big

[00:20:06] 12

[00:20:06] circles

[00:20:07] and

[00:20:07] media

[00:20:07] circles.

[00:20:08] They've

[00:20:08] come

[00:20:09] out

[00:20:09] and

[00:20:11] played

[00:20:11] an

[00:20:11] absolute

[00:20:12] great

[00:20:12] season.

[00:20:13] We've

[00:20:13] mentioned it

[00:20:14] many

[00:20:14] times.

[00:20:14] If

[00:20:15] not

[00:20:16] for

[00:20:16] what

[00:20:17] happened

[00:20:17] to

[00:20:17] Indiana

[00:20:18] with

[00:20:19] Kirk

[00:20:19] Signetti,

[00:20:19] Kenny

[00:20:20] Dillingham

[00:20:20] is probably

[00:20:20] your

[00:20:21] coach

[00:20:21] of the

[00:20:21] year.

[00:20:22] Absolutely.

[00:20:24] Most of

[00:20:25] the

[00:20:25] thing

[00:20:26] with

[00:20:26] him,

[00:20:26] he's

[00:20:27] so

[00:20:27] young.

[00:20:27] He

[00:20:28] hadn't

[00:20:28] even

[00:20:28] reached

[00:20:28] his

[00:20:29] top

[00:20:30] level.

[00:20:33] He's

[00:20:33] still

[00:20:33] learning.

[00:20:35] 34?

[00:20:38] It's

[00:20:39] hard to

[00:20:40] not

[00:20:40] root

[00:20:40] for

[00:20:40] the

[00:20:40] guy

[00:20:41] when

[00:20:41] he's

[00:20:41] at

[00:20:41] his

[00:20:41] alma

[00:20:41] mater,

[00:20:42] a

[00:20:42] place

[00:20:43] he

[00:20:43] loves.

[00:20:43] His

[00:20:44] postgame

[00:20:45] interviews

[00:20:45] are

[00:20:45] great.

[00:20:46] He's

[00:20:46] always

[00:20:46] so

[00:20:46] excited.

[00:20:49] Great

[00:20:49] energy.

[00:20:50] Yeah,

[00:20:51] just

[00:20:51] perfect

[00:20:52] energy.

[00:20:53] But

[00:20:54] yeah,

[00:20:55] that'll

[00:20:56] be an

[00:20:56] interesting

[00:20:56] game to

[00:20:57] watch.

[00:20:57] You

[00:20:58] probably

[00:20:58] tend

[00:20:58] to

[00:20:58] think

[00:20:59] that

[00:20:59] Sark

[00:20:59] and

[00:21:00] the

[00:21:00] Texas

[00:21:01] offense

[00:21:01] will

[00:21:01] just

[00:21:02] have

[00:21:02] too

[00:21:02] much

[00:21:02] for

[00:21:02] that

[00:21:03] Arizona

[00:21:03] State

[00:21:03] defense.

[00:21:04] Maybe

[00:21:04] so

[00:21:05] yeah,

[00:21:06] and a

[00:21:06] really

[00:21:07] good

[00:21:07] Texas

[00:21:07] defense

[00:21:08] might

[00:21:09] make

[00:21:10] Arizona

[00:21:11] State

[00:21:11] a little

[00:21:12] too

[00:21:12] one

[00:21:12] dimensional,

[00:21:13] but

[00:21:13] Cam

[00:21:14] Scadabo

[00:21:14] is

[00:21:15] a

[00:21:15] great

[00:21:15] player.

[00:21:16] He's

[00:21:16] a

[00:21:16] great

[00:21:16] player.

[00:21:17] He's

[00:21:18] fun.

[00:21:19] Yeah,

[00:21:19] certainly

[00:21:20] their

[00:21:20] stiffest

[00:21:21] test

[00:21:21] of

[00:21:21] the

[00:21:21] year.

[00:21:21] Yeah,

[00:21:22] just a

[00:21:22] strong

[00:21:23] runner.

[00:21:24] I

[00:21:24] mean,

[00:21:25] if he

[00:21:26] that's

[00:21:27] the thing

[00:21:27] like

[00:21:29] they're

[00:21:29] going to

[00:21:29] have to

[00:21:30] be able

[00:21:30] to run

[00:21:31] the

[00:21:31] ball.

[00:21:31] And

[00:21:32] the

[00:21:32] other

[00:21:32] thing

[00:21:32] with

[00:21:33] both

[00:21:33] Boise

[00:21:33] and

[00:21:34] Arizona

[00:21:34] State,

[00:21:35] the

[00:21:35] main

[00:21:35] thing

[00:21:35] that

[00:21:35] they

[00:21:36] can't

[00:21:36] do

[00:21:36] it

[00:21:37] all

[00:21:37] is

[00:21:38] do

[00:21:38] things

[00:21:38] to

[00:21:38] beat

[00:21:39] themselves.

[00:21:41] They

[00:21:44] can't

[00:21:44] do

[00:21:44] things.

[00:21:46] These

[00:21:46] smaller

[00:21:47] teams,

[00:21:47] they can

[00:21:48] win the

[00:21:48] game,

[00:21:48] but as

[00:21:49] we know,

[00:21:49] smaller

[00:21:50] teams,

[00:21:50] they have

[00:21:51] to play

[00:21:51] near a

[00:21:51] perfect

[00:21:52] game.

[00:21:52] They

[00:21:53] can't do

[00:21:53] anything

[00:21:53] to beat

[00:21:55] themselves.

[00:21:56] They

[00:21:56] got to

[00:22:00] get

[00:22:00] touchdowns

[00:22:01] when they

[00:22:01] can't

[00:22:01] because

[00:22:01] these

[00:22:01] big

[00:22:02] team

[00:22:02] field goals

[00:22:02] are not

[00:22:03] going to

[00:22:03] beat

[00:22:03] you.

[00:22:04] have

[00:22:06] to

[00:22:07] not

[00:22:08] make

[00:22:09] mistakes,

[00:22:10] can't

[00:22:11] have

[00:22:11] dumb

[00:22:11] penalties,

[00:22:12] can't

[00:22:12] fumble,

[00:22:12] no

[00:22:13] interceptions

[00:22:13] because

[00:22:14] those

[00:22:14] are

[00:22:14] things

[00:22:15] that

[00:22:15] killed

[00:22:15] SMU

[00:22:16] quickly.

[00:22:19] As we

[00:22:20] know

[00:22:20] too,

[00:22:21] if they

[00:22:21] hang

[00:22:21] with

[00:22:21] them

[00:22:33] end

[00:22:34] of

[00:22:34] the

[00:22:34] third

[00:22:34] quarter,

[00:22:35] they're

[00:22:35] juiced.

[00:22:38] Exactly.

[00:22:39] That's

[00:22:40] one of

[00:22:41] those

[00:22:41] things.

[00:22:41] Don't

[00:22:42] let them

[00:22:42] hang

[00:22:42] around

[00:22:43] the

[00:22:43] old

[00:22:44] cliche,

[00:22:45] but

[00:22:45] it's

[00:22:46] cliche

[00:22:46] for a

[00:22:47] reason

[00:22:47] because

[00:22:47] you

[00:22:47] give

[00:22:48] these

[00:22:48] guys

[00:22:48] just

[00:22:49] a

[00:22:49] little

[00:22:49] bit

[00:22:49] of

[00:22:49] hope

[00:22:49] and

[00:23:03] of

[00:23:03] course

[00:23:03] a

[00:23:04] rematch.

[00:23:04] Those

[00:23:04] two

[00:23:05] played

[00:23:05] a

[00:23:05] great

[00:23:05] game

[00:23:05] in

[00:23:06] Eugene

[00:23:06] earlier

[00:23:06] this

[00:23:07] year.

[00:23:08] Oregon

[00:23:09] pulled

[00:23:09] it

[00:23:09] out.

[00:23:10] Bad

[00:23:11] clock

[00:23:11] management

[00:23:12] by Ohio

[00:23:12] State

[00:23:13] toward

[00:23:13] the

[00:23:13] end

[00:23:33] of

[00:23:33] they

[00:23:33] could

[00:23:34] do

[00:23:34] nothing

[00:23:34] wrong

[00:23:35] against

[00:23:35] Tennessee

[00:23:36] but

[00:23:36] as we

[00:23:37] know

[00:23:37] their

[00:23:37] consistency

[00:23:38] that's

[00:23:39] with

[00:23:39] all

[00:23:39] these

[00:23:40] teams

[00:23:41] we've

[00:23:41] seen

[00:23:41] great

[00:23:41] moments

[00:23:42] from

[00:23:42] every

[00:23:42] playoff

[00:23:43] team

[00:23:43] we've

[00:23:43] also

[00:23:44] seen

[00:23:44] reasons

[00:23:45] why

[00:23:45] they're

[00:24:04] Ohio

[00:24:06] State

[00:24:06] losing

[00:24:06] to

[00:24:06] Michigan

[00:24:07] Alabama

[00:24:08] losing

[00:24:08] to

[00:24:09] Oklahoma

[00:24:09] stuff

[00:24:10] that

[00:24:10] just

[00:24:10] doesn't

[00:24:11] make

[00:24:11] sense

[00:24:13] it's

[00:24:14] just

[00:24:14] amped

[00:24:14] up

[00:24:15] this

[00:24:15] year

[00:24:15] it's

[00:24:15] something

[00:24:16] that

[00:24:16] always

[00:24:16] has

[00:24:16] been

[00:24:17] I

[00:24:18] think

[00:24:18] a lot

[00:24:19] of

[00:24:19] people

[00:24:33] only

[00:24:33] two

[00:24:34] were

[00:24:34] unbeaten

[00:24:34] teams

[00:24:35] you know

[00:24:36] and

[00:24:37] those

[00:24:37] dominant

[00:24:38] teams

[00:24:38] 2011

[00:24:39] lost

[00:24:40] LSU

[00:24:41] the

[00:24:42] 2012

[00:24:42] team

[00:24:42] Johnny

[00:24:43] football

[00:24:44] lost

[00:24:44] that

[00:24:46] 2015

[00:24:47] team

[00:24:48] lost

[00:24:48] that

[00:24:49] terrible

[00:24:50] five

[00:24:51] turn of

[00:24:51] Ole Miss

[00:24:52] the

[00:24:52] 2017

[00:24:53] team

[00:24:53] didn't

[00:24:54] even

[00:24:54] win

[00:24:54] the

[00:24:54] division

[00:24:55] the

[00:24:55] SEC

[00:24:56] West

[00:24:56] you know

[00:24:56] that

[00:24:57] lost

[00:24:57] late

[00:24:58] November

[00:24:58] in

[00:24:59] the

[00:24:59] Iron

[00:24:59] Bowl

[00:25:02] exactly

[00:25:06] yeah

[00:25:08] so

[00:25:12] yeah

[00:25:12] I think

[00:25:13] people

[00:25:15] tend to

[00:25:15] forget

[00:25:16] sometimes

[00:25:16] that these

[00:25:17] these are

[00:25:17] college

[00:25:18] kids

[00:25:18] you know

[00:25:19] they're great

[00:25:19] athletes

[00:25:20] great

[00:25:20] players

[00:25:20] and you

[00:25:21] know

[00:25:21] and yeah

[00:25:21] now

[00:25:21] some of

[00:25:22] them are

[00:25:22] making money

[00:25:23] off it

[00:25:23] but

[00:25:23] there's

[00:25:24] still

[00:25:24] college

[00:25:25] kids

[00:25:25] out there

[00:25:25] they're

[00:25:25] going to

[00:25:26] be

[00:25:29] think

[00:25:30] about

[00:25:31] yourself

[00:25:31] at

[00:25:31] 18

[00:25:32] and

[00:25:32] 21

[00:25:32] we

[00:25:33] were

[00:25:33] inconsistent

[00:25:33] going

[00:25:34] to

[00:25:34] class

[00:25:34] you know

[00:25:37] we

[00:25:37] were

[00:25:38] inconsistent

[00:25:38] with

[00:25:38] stuff

[00:25:40] that

[00:25:40] you know

[00:25:41] these

[00:25:41] guys

[00:25:42] I mean

[00:25:42] I

[00:25:43] couldn't

[00:25:43] imagine

[00:25:44] you know

[00:25:44] doing

[00:25:45] a lot

[00:25:46] of the

[00:25:46] stuff

[00:25:46] that

[00:25:46] they're

[00:25:46] doing

[00:25:46] you know

[00:25:47] we

[00:25:48] yeah

[00:25:48] right

[00:25:49] juggling

[00:25:49] all this

[00:25:50] all the

[00:25:51] other

[00:25:51] stuff

[00:25:52] all the

[00:25:52] other

[00:25:53] great

[00:25:53] heavy

[00:25:53] pressures

[00:25:54] that come

[00:25:54] with

[00:25:54] just

[00:25:55] being

[00:25:55] in

[00:25:55] college

[00:25:55] and

[00:25:55] then

[00:25:56] you're

[00:25:56] throwing

[00:25:56] all

[00:25:57] this

[00:25:57] football

[00:25:58] responsibility

[00:25:58] on top

[00:25:59] of

[00:25:59] yeah

[00:25:59] it's

[00:25:59] crazy

[00:26:00] I

[00:26:01] remember

[00:26:01] we

[00:26:02] if it

[00:26:03] were

[00:26:03] raining

[00:26:03] certain

[00:26:04] days

[00:26:04] that

[00:26:04] would

[00:26:04] keep

[00:26:04] us

[00:26:05] from

[00:26:05] going

[00:26:05] to

[00:26:30] responsibility

[00:26:31] there

[00:26:31] I don't

[00:26:31] think

[00:26:32] you know

[00:26:33] a lot

[00:26:33] of

[00:26:34] 18

[00:26:34] to

[00:26:35] 21

[00:26:35] year olds

[00:26:35] had

[00:26:36] no

[00:26:37] no

[00:26:38] idea

[00:26:38] just

[00:26:38] how

[00:26:39] big

[00:26:40] of a

[00:26:40] thing

[00:26:40] it is

[00:26:41] at all

[00:26:42] so

[00:26:44] yeah

[00:26:44] so

[00:26:47] yeah

[00:26:47] yeah

[00:26:48] so

[00:26:48] who knows

[00:26:49] what

[00:26:49] Ohio

[00:26:49] state

[00:26:49] team

[00:26:50] we

[00:26:51] see

[00:26:51] and

[00:26:52] like

[00:26:52] we

[00:26:52] said

[00:26:52] there's

[00:26:52] been

[00:26:53] no

[00:26:53] elite

[00:26:53] team

[00:26:54] this

[00:26:54] year

[00:26:54] Oregon

[00:26:54] is

[00:26:54] the

[00:26:55] closest

[00:26:55] team

[00:26:55] we've

[00:26:55] had

[00:26:56] to

[00:26:56] it

[00:26:56] but

[00:26:56] even

[00:26:56] then

[00:26:56] you

[00:26:57] know

[00:26:58] it's

[00:26:59] not

[00:27:12] I'd

[00:27:12] be

[00:27:12] shocked

[00:27:13] if

[00:27:13] either

[00:27:13] team

[00:27:13] blows

[00:27:14] the

[00:27:14] other

[00:27:15] out

[00:27:16] at

[00:27:17] worst

[00:27:18] game

[00:27:19] no

[00:27:20] no

[00:27:21] no

[00:27:21] I

[00:27:22] mean

[00:27:22] I

[00:27:23] always

[00:27:23] I

[00:27:24] always

[00:27:24] think

[00:27:25] it's

[00:27:26] so

[00:27:26] hard

[00:27:26] to

[00:27:42] like

[00:27:44] we

[00:27:44] said

[00:27:45] we

[00:27:45] don't

[00:27:45] know

[00:27:45] what

[00:27:45] Ohio

[00:27:45] state

[00:27:46] team

[00:27:46] showing

[00:27:46] up

[00:27:46] if

[00:27:47] like

[00:27:47] we

[00:27:48] said

[00:27:48] if

[00:27:48] last

[00:27:48] week's

[00:27:48] team

[00:27:49] shows

[00:27:49] up

[00:27:49] I'm

[00:27:49] not

[00:27:49] sure

[00:27:50] there

[00:27:50] is

[00:27:50] a team

[00:27:50] in the

[00:27:50] country

[00:27:51] that can

[00:27:51] beat

[00:27:51] them

[00:27:52] but

[00:27:52] if

[00:27:52] Oregon

[00:27:53] plays

[00:27:53] at

[00:27:53] its

[00:27:53] top

[00:27:53] level

[00:27:54] I

[00:27:54] think

[00:27:55] at

[00:27:56] most

[00:27:56] if

[00:27:57] this

[00:27:57] is

[00:27:57] a

[00:27:57] double

[00:27:57] digit

[00:27:58] win

[00:27:58] for

[00:27:58] either

[00:27:58] team

[00:27:59] it'll

[00:27:59] be

[00:28:00] a

[00:28:00] late

[00:28:00] score

[00:28:01] to put

[00:28:01] it

[00:28:01] away

[00:28:01] yeah

[00:28:03] late

[00:28:03] pick

[00:28:03] six

[00:28:04] or

[00:28:04] yeah

[00:28:05] they're

[00:28:05] up

[00:28:12] moving

[00:28:19] on to

[00:28:20] the

[00:28:21] night

[00:28:21] cap

[00:28:21] on

[00:28:22] the

[00:28:22] first

[00:28:23] in

[00:28:23] the

[00:28:23] sugar

[00:28:23] bowl

[00:28:24] yeah

[00:28:25] the

[00:28:25] I

[00:28:25] think

[00:28:26] to

[00:28:26] me

[00:28:26] storyline

[00:28:27] wise

[00:28:28] you

[00:28:28] know

[00:28:28] with

[00:28:28] even

[00:28:29] despite

[00:28:29] you

[00:28:29] know

[00:28:30] the

[00:28:30] Cinderella

[00:28:31] stories

[00:28:32] of

[00:28:32] Boise

[00:28:32] and

[00:28:33] Arizona

[00:28:33] State

[00:28:33] and

[00:28:34] then

[00:28:34] the

[00:28:34] big

[00:28:34] time

[00:28:34] matchup

[00:28:35] we

[00:28:36] just

[00:28:36] talked

[00:28:36] about

[00:28:36] I

[00:28:43] Georgia

[00:28:43] has

[00:28:43] been

[00:28:44] the

[00:28:44] dominant

[00:28:44] team

[00:28:45] the

[00:28:45] last

[00:28:45] few

[00:28:45] years

[00:28:47] everybody

[00:28:47] trying to

[00:28:48] anoint

[00:28:49] them

[00:28:49] the

[00:28:49] new

[00:28:50] dynasty

[00:28:52] Kirby

[00:28:52] Smart

[00:28:53] is

[00:28:53] the

[00:28:53] new

[00:28:53] Nick

[00:28:53] Saban

[00:28:54] this

[00:28:54] is

[00:28:54] the

[00:28:54] new

[00:28:55] standard

[00:28:56] in

[00:28:56] college

[00:28:57] football

[00:28:59] and

[00:28:59] then

[00:28:59] you

[00:28:59] have

[00:29:00] Notre

[00:29:00] Dame

[00:29:00] the

[00:29:01] classical

[00:29:01] blue

[00:29:01] blood

[00:29:02] but

[00:29:02] they

[00:29:02] haven't

[00:29:03] won

[00:29:03] a

[00:29:03] national

[00:29:03] title

[00:29:04] since

[00:29:04] 1988

[00:29:06] they've

[00:29:07] been

[00:29:07] on

[00:29:07] the

[00:29:07] precipice

[00:29:08] over

[00:29:09] the

[00:29:09] last

[00:29:11] decade

[00:29:12] plus

[00:29:12] you

[00:29:12] know

[00:29:12] they've

[00:29:13] made

[00:29:13] BCS

[00:29:13] title

[00:29:13] games

[00:29:14] and got

[00:29:14] blown

[00:29:14] out

[00:29:15] they've

[00:29:15] made

[00:29:15] college

[00:29:16] football

[00:29:16] playoff

[00:29:17] and got

[00:29:17] blown

[00:29:18] out

[00:29:18] you know

[00:29:18] it seems

[00:29:19] every time

[00:29:19] they have

[00:29:19] a chance

[00:29:20] to win

[00:29:21] one of

[00:29:22] these

[00:29:42] come

[00:29:42] back

[00:29:42] next

[00:29:43] year

[00:29:43] too

[00:29:43] so

[00:29:44] that's

[00:29:45] interesting

[00:29:45] but

[00:29:46] yeah

[00:29:47] I mean

[00:29:49] this is

[00:29:50] Notre

[00:29:50] Dame's

[00:29:50] shot

[00:29:50] yeah

[00:29:51] for sure

[00:29:52] and I

[00:29:53] think

[00:29:53] that

[00:29:54] this

[00:29:54] is

[00:29:54] one

[00:29:57] of

[00:29:57] the

[00:29:57] better

[00:29:58] Notre

[00:29:59] Dame

[00:29:59] teams

[00:30:00] you've

[00:30:00] seen

[00:30:01] you know

[00:30:02] like

[00:30:02] for example

[00:30:03] in 2012

[00:30:05] they had

[00:30:05] a lot

[00:30:06] of fluke

[00:30:06] wins

[00:30:06] that

[00:30:07] season

[00:30:07] you know

[00:30:08] to get

[00:30:08] to

[00:30:09] play

[00:30:09] Alabama

[00:30:11] and

[00:30:13] I don't

[00:30:14] know

[00:30:15] but

[00:30:16] this

[00:30:16] team

[00:30:16] seems

[00:30:17] like

[00:30:17] their

[00:30:17] defense

[00:30:18] is

[00:30:18] stout

[00:30:19] their

[00:30:20] running

[00:30:20] game

[00:30:20] is

[00:30:20] great

[00:30:21] I mean

[00:30:22] they seem

[00:30:22] like

[00:30:23] the real

[00:30:24] this is

[00:30:25] the

[00:30:26] I guess

[00:30:27] the most

[00:30:28] complete

[00:30:28] Notre

[00:30:28] Dame

[00:30:29] team

[00:30:30] yeah

[00:30:31] and

[00:30:31] we've

[00:30:31] mentioned

[00:30:32] it

[00:30:32] before

[00:30:32] they're

[00:30:32] playing

[00:30:33] as good

[00:30:34] a football

[00:30:34] as anybody

[00:30:35] is right

[00:30:35] now

[00:30:35] and they've

[00:30:36] been doing

[00:30:36] it

[00:30:36] more

[00:30:37] consistently

[00:30:38] than

[00:30:39] anybody

[00:30:39] has

[00:30:40] you know

[00:30:41] that's

[00:30:41] not a

[00:30:41] debate

[00:30:42] on who's

[00:30:42] been

[00:30:42] the

[00:30:43] if

[00:30:44] you

[00:30:44] just

[00:30:44] you know

[00:30:45] ignore

[00:30:46] who

[00:30:46] they've

[00:30:46] been

[00:30:47] playing

[00:30:48] you know

[00:30:48] ignore

[00:30:49] the

[00:30:49] scores

[00:30:49] yeah

[00:30:50] look at

[00:30:50] the scores

[00:30:51] look at

[00:30:51] the stats

[00:30:51] and just

[00:30:52] look at

[00:30:52] how

[00:30:52] they're

[00:30:52] playing

[00:30:53] Notre

[00:30:53] Dame

[00:30:53] has

[00:30:53] been

[00:30:54] the

[00:30:55] most

[00:30:55] consistent

[00:30:55] and the

[00:30:56] best

[00:30:56] team

[00:30:56] over

[00:30:56] the

[00:30:57] past

[00:30:57] month

[00:30:57] and some

[00:30:57] change

[00:30:58] of the

[00:30:58] season

[00:31:00] put it

[00:31:01] in

[00:31:01] perspective

[00:31:02] I mean

[00:31:02] even

[00:31:02] you know

[00:31:03] you have

[00:31:05] an army

[00:31:07] and the

[00:31:07] Navy

[00:31:08] you know

[00:31:09] some of

[00:31:09] their best

[00:31:10] seasons

[00:31:11] of all

[00:31:11] time

[00:31:13] and

[00:31:13] Notre Dame

[00:31:14] just

[00:31:14] housed both

[00:31:16] of them

[00:31:16] like it

[00:31:16] was nothing

[00:31:17] made them

[00:31:18] look terrible

[00:31:18] like terrible

[00:31:20] you know

[00:31:21] and in

[00:31:22] times

[00:31:22] the past

[00:31:22] years

[00:31:23] we've

[00:31:23] seen

[00:31:23] Notre

[00:31:24] Dame

[00:31:24] stroke

[00:31:24] with

[00:31:24] Army

[00:31:24] and Navy

[00:31:25] when

[00:31:27] they've

[00:31:27] been

[00:31:27] good

[00:31:28] and

[00:31:28] those

[00:31:28] other

[00:31:28] teams

[00:31:28] have

[00:31:29] not

[00:31:29] so

[00:31:30] I mean

[00:31:30] they

[00:31:31] housed

[00:31:31] them

[00:31:31] no

[00:31:32] questions

[00:31:32] it wasn't

[00:31:33] even in

[00:31:33] doubt

[00:31:34] so I

[00:31:35] mean

[00:31:35] that

[00:31:35] just

[00:31:35] you know

[00:31:36] yeah

[00:31:37] they may

[00:31:37] not

[00:31:37] have

[00:31:38] the

[00:31:38] sexiest

[00:31:39] schedule

[00:31:39] but I

[00:31:40] mean

[00:31:40] they've

[00:31:40] done

[00:31:41] you look

[00:31:42] at just

[00:31:42] scores

[00:31:43] and

[00:31:43] they've

[00:31:44] dominated

[00:31:46] so

[00:31:46] it'll be

[00:31:47] fun

[00:31:47] I think

[00:31:48] I'm looking

[00:31:49] forward

[00:31:49] just to

[00:31:49] see if

[00:31:50] Notre Dame

[00:31:50] can

[00:31:51] you know

[00:31:52] I think

[00:31:52] everybody

[00:31:52] there's still

[00:31:53] a lot of

[00:31:53] people

[00:31:53] think

[00:31:54] oh

[00:31:54] you know

[00:31:57] Notre Dame

[00:31:58] is gonna

[00:31:58] do what

[00:31:59] they've

[00:31:59] done

[00:31:59] against

[00:31:59] the

[00:31:59] SEC

[00:32:01] every

[00:32:01] other

[00:32:01] time

[00:32:02] I

[00:32:02] don't

[00:32:03] think

[00:32:03] that

[00:32:03] I

[00:32:04] think

[00:32:04] this

[00:32:04] year

[00:32:04] is

[00:32:05] their

[00:32:06] year

[00:32:06] that

[00:32:06] they're

[00:32:06] gonna

[00:32:06] do

[00:32:07] it

[00:32:07] this

[00:32:07] is

[00:32:08] their

[00:32:08] time

[00:32:09] absolutely

[00:32:10] yeah

[00:32:10] like I

[00:32:10] said

[00:32:10] this

[00:32:11] is

[00:32:11] their

[00:32:12] closest

[00:32:12] they've

[00:32:13] been

[00:32:13] I

[00:32:17] yeah

[00:32:18] for sure

[00:32:19] and you

[00:32:19] know

[00:32:19] granted

[00:32:20] this

[00:32:20] still

[00:32:21] is the

[00:32:21] most

[00:32:21] talented

[00:32:21] team

[00:32:22] Notre Dame

[00:32:22] will have

[00:32:23] played

[00:32:23] so far

[00:32:24] the

[00:32:25] Georgia

[00:32:26] defense

[00:32:26] is gonna

[00:32:27] be the

[00:32:27] toughest

[00:32:27] defense

[00:32:28] they've

[00:32:28] played

[00:32:28] and

[00:32:28] granted

[00:32:29] you

[00:32:29] know

[00:32:29] it's

[00:32:29] not

[00:32:30] maybe

[00:32:31] up to

[00:32:31] the levels

[00:32:32] past

[00:32:32] Georgia

[00:32:33] defenses

[00:32:33] but it's

[00:32:34] still a

[00:32:34] very good

[00:32:35] team

[00:32:37] yeah

[00:32:38] but

[00:32:39] there's

[00:32:39] a real

[00:32:39] shot

[00:32:47] turnover

[00:32:48] prone

[00:32:48] and

[00:32:49] that's

[00:32:49] you know

[00:32:49] Notre

[00:32:50] Dame's

[00:32:50] defense

[00:32:50] they like

[00:32:51] their

[00:32:51] ball hawking

[00:32:51] they get

[00:32:52] after it

[00:32:52] they cause

[00:32:53] turnovers

[00:32:55] Marcus Freeman

[00:32:56] looking for

[00:32:56] that

[00:32:57] signature

[00:32:57] win

[00:32:58] really

[00:32:58] still

[00:32:59] that

[00:32:59] would

[00:32:59] be

[00:33:00] huge

[00:33:00] that

[00:33:00] would

[00:33:00] just

[00:33:01] be

[00:33:01] huge

[00:33:01] for

[00:33:01] them

[00:33:02] even

[00:33:03] if

[00:33:03] it

[00:33:03] doesn't

[00:33:04] lead

[00:33:04] you know

[00:33:04] even

[00:33:04] if

[00:33:05] they

[00:33:05] lose

[00:33:05] next

[00:33:05] round

[00:33:05] to

[00:33:06] either

[00:33:06] Penn

[00:33:06] State

[00:33:06] or

[00:33:07] Boise

[00:33:07] State

[00:33:07] that's

[00:33:08] this

[00:33:09] win

[00:33:09] over

[00:33:09] Georgia

[00:33:10] would

[00:33:10] really

[00:33:10] kind

[00:33:10] of

[00:33:11] Georgia

[00:33:11] that'd

[00:33:12] be

[00:33:12] huge

[00:33:13] yeah

[00:33:13] it's

[00:33:15] it's

[00:33:15] really

[00:33:16] you know

[00:33:16] Notre

[00:33:17] Dane's

[00:33:17] been

[00:33:17] looking

[00:33:17] for

[00:33:18] that

[00:33:18] win

[00:33:18] as

[00:33:19] a

[00:33:19] program

[00:33:20] for a

[00:33:21] long

[00:33:21] time

[00:33:22] yet

[00:33:22] to

[00:33:22] get

[00:33:22] back

[00:33:23] to

[00:33:23] that

[00:33:23] you

[00:33:24] know

[00:33:24] they

[00:33:24] view

[00:33:24] themselves

[00:33:25] as

[00:33:44] oh

[00:33:44] wow

[00:33:45] yeah

[00:33:45] that's

[00:33:46] you

[00:33:46] know

[00:33:47] and

[00:33:48] not

[00:33:48] to

[00:33:48] you

[00:33:49] know

[00:33:49] not

[00:33:49] to

[00:33:51] take

[00:33:52] a

[00:33:52] shot

[00:33:52] at

[00:33:52] you

[00:33:53] or

[00:33:53] your

[00:33:53] team

[00:33:53] but

[00:33:53] you

[00:33:53] know

[00:33:54] it's

[00:33:54] very

[00:33:54] similar

[00:33:54] to

[00:33:54] the

[00:33:55] Cowboys

[00:33:55] in

[00:33:55] that

[00:33:55] sense

[00:33:56] it's

[00:33:56] it

[00:33:56] yeah

[00:33:57] they

[00:33:58] were

[00:33:58] a

[00:33:58] great

[00:33:58] team

[00:33:58] and

[00:33:59] still

[00:33:59] technically

[00:34:00] you

[00:34:00] know

[00:34:00] one

[00:34:00] of

[00:34:00] the

[00:34:00] best

[00:34:01] teams

[00:34:01] in

[00:34:01] the

[00:34:01] history

[00:34:02] of

[00:34:02] the

[00:34:02] sport

[00:34:02] but

[00:34:03] yeah

[00:34:03] you're

[00:34:03] always

[00:34:04] gonna

[00:34:04] have

[00:34:04] a

[00:34:04] national

[00:34:05] appeal

[00:34:05] and

[00:34:05] national

[00:34:06] attention

[00:34:06] but

[00:34:06] yeah

[00:34:07] what

[00:34:07] what

[00:34:07] have

[00:34:07] you

[00:34:07] done

[00:34:08] yeah

[00:34:10] it's

[00:34:10] time

[00:34:10] to

[00:34:11] put

[00:34:11] that

[00:34:11] result

[00:34:12] back

[00:34:12] in

[00:34:12] the

[00:34:12] win

[00:34:12] column

[00:34:13] there

[00:34:13] so

[00:34:14] I'm

[00:34:14] really

[00:34:14] looking

[00:34:15] forward

[00:34:15] to

[00:34:15] that

[00:34:17] I

[00:34:37] I

[00:34:37] mean

[00:34:37] I'm

[00:34:37] no

[00:34:37] Notre

[00:34:38] Dame

[00:34:38] fan

[00:34:38] but

[00:34:39] I

[00:34:39] really

[00:34:39] just

[00:34:40] don't

[00:34:40] want

[00:34:40] to

[00:34:40] see

[00:34:40] them

[00:34:40] get

[00:34:40] slotted

[00:34:41] out

[00:34:41] there

[00:34:41] again

[00:34:42] no

[00:34:43] yeah

[00:34:43] and

[00:34:43] yeah

[00:34:44] we

[00:34:44] want

[00:34:44] to

[00:34:44] see

[00:34:44] some

[00:34:44] good

[00:35:07] all

[00:35:08] we

[00:35:08] can

[00:35:08] do

[00:35:08] is

[00:35:09] have

[00:35:09] the

[00:35:09] games

[00:35:09] that

[00:35:09] we

[00:35:09] have

[00:35:10] for

[00:35:10] now

[00:35:10] we

[00:35:11] have

[00:35:11] two

[00:35:11] years

[00:35:11] of

[00:35:11] this

[00:35:11] system

[00:35:12] and

[00:35:12] then

[00:35:13] from

[00:35:13] there

[00:35:13] you

[00:35:13] know

[00:35:14] they

[00:35:14] can

[00:35:14] improve

[00:35:14] upon

[00:35:15] it

[00:35:16] exactly

[00:35:16] yeah

[00:35:16] let them

[00:35:17] tweak

[00:35:18] it

[00:35:18] until

[00:35:18] we

[00:35:18] get

[00:35:18] it

[00:35:37] regular

[00:35:37] seasons

[00:35:38] because

[00:35:38] people

[00:35:38] with

[00:35:39] two

[00:35:39] losses

[00:35:39] were

[00:35:40] still

[00:35:40] playing

[00:35:40] their

[00:35:40] asses

[00:35:41] off

[00:35:41] because

[00:35:41] they

[00:35:42] couldn't

[00:35:42] get

[00:35:42] in

[00:35:43] yeah

[00:35:44] because

[00:35:44] the team

[00:35:44] I mean

[00:35:45] look at

[00:35:46] all year

[00:35:47] we talked

[00:35:47] about the

[00:35:47] big 12

[00:35:48] and how

[00:35:48] fun it

[00:35:48] was

[00:35:49] because

[00:35:49] we

[00:35:49] knew

[00:35:50] and those

[00:35:51] teams knew

[00:35:51] that they

[00:35:51] were playing

[00:35:52] for a

[00:35:52] chance

[00:35:53] to get

[00:35:53] in

[00:35:53] and it

[00:35:54] was

[00:35:54] anybody's

[00:35:55] game

[00:35:55] down

[00:35:56] to the

[00:35:56] last

[00:35:56] game

[00:35:56] of the

[00:35:57] season

[00:35:58] literally

[00:35:58] yeah

[00:36:00] so yeah

[00:36:01] just enjoy

[00:36:01] football folks

[00:36:02] just quit

[00:36:03] complaining

[00:36:12] that'll be

[00:36:13] it

[00:36:13] these quarter

[00:36:14] final matchups

[00:36:15] of course

[00:36:15] going beyond

[00:36:16] that the

[00:36:16] winner of

[00:36:17] Georgia

[00:36:17] Notre Dame

[00:36:18] sees the

[00:36:18] winner of

[00:36:19] Penn State

[00:36:22] know some

[00:36:22] interesting

[00:36:23] matchups

[00:36:23] could arise

[00:36:25] from there

[00:36:25] and then

[00:36:26] of course

[00:36:26] the winner

[00:36:27] of the

[00:36:27] Rose Bowl

[00:36:28] and the

[00:36:29] winner of

[00:36:29] the

[00:36:29] Peach Bowl

[00:36:30] uh

[00:36:32] matchups

[00:36:32] I think

[00:36:33] you could

[00:36:33] really see

[00:36:34] some

[00:36:35] you know

[00:36:35] do we get

[00:36:36] do we get

[00:36:37] you know

[00:36:37] some heavyweights

[00:36:39] do we get

[00:36:39] like a

[00:36:40] Texas

[00:36:41] yeah do we

[00:36:42] get like a

[00:36:43] Texas

[00:36:43] Ohio State

[00:36:44] Penn State

[00:36:45] Georgia

[00:36:46] oh my gosh

[00:36:48] final four

[00:36:49] do we get

[00:36:49] you know

[00:36:50] Boise and

[00:36:51] Arizona State

[00:36:52] get in

[00:36:52] does Notre Dame

[00:36:53] pull the upset

[00:36:54] does Oregon

[00:36:55] keep winning

[00:36:56] and you know

[00:36:57] as they shoot

[00:36:57] for their

[00:36:58] first national

[00:36:58] title

[00:36:59] a program

[00:36:59] that we

[00:37:00] talk about

[00:37:00] programs

[00:37:01] that have

[00:37:01] you know

[00:37:01] looking for

[00:37:02] that one

[00:37:03] big win

[00:37:03] Oregon's

[00:37:03] been there

[00:37:04] so close

[00:37:04] for so

[00:37:05] long

[00:37:05] now

[00:37:06] for

[00:37:07] um

[00:37:07] always

[00:37:08] right there

[00:37:09] we'll find

[00:37:09] a way to

[00:37:10] choke it

[00:37:10] off

[00:37:10] or

[00:37:11] I mean

[00:37:12] starting

[00:37:12] way back

[00:37:13] you know

[00:37:13] as when

[00:37:14] we were

[00:37:14] younger

[00:37:15] that was

[00:37:15] at that

[00:37:15] 94

[00:37:17] around 94

[00:37:18] they made

[00:37:19] a Rose Bowl

[00:37:19] yeah they

[00:37:20] made a Rose

[00:37:20] Bowl

[00:37:20] play Penn

[00:37:21] State

[00:37:21] yeah I

[00:37:22] think Penn

[00:37:22] State

[00:37:23] whooped

[00:37:23] them

[00:37:23] and then

[00:37:24] you know

[00:37:24] kind of

[00:37:24] quiet

[00:37:24] for a little

[00:37:25] bit

[00:37:25] and then

[00:37:25] you know

[00:37:26] the

[00:37:26] Joey Harrington

[00:37:26] years

[00:37:28] really

[00:37:30] put the

[00:37:31] Oregon

[00:37:31] teams on

[00:37:32] the map

[00:37:32] and the

[00:37:32] uniforms

[00:37:33] and all

[00:37:33] that stuff

[00:37:34] and then

[00:37:34] they started

[00:37:35] getting

[00:37:35] Heisman

[00:37:36] winners

[00:37:36] yeah

[00:37:36] Mike

[00:37:37] Bellotti

[00:37:37] started to

[00:37:39] put them

[00:37:39] on the

[00:37:39] map

[00:37:40] and then

[00:37:40] Chip Kelly

[00:37:41] took her

[00:37:41] to another

[00:37:41] level

[00:37:42] yeah

[00:37:43] made the

[00:37:43] national title

[00:37:44] in 2010

[00:37:45] made the

[00:37:46] national title

[00:37:46] again in 2014

[00:37:47] in the first

[00:37:48] in the

[00:37:48] playoff

[00:37:49] came close

[00:37:50] against

[00:37:51] Camden

[00:37:51] got blown

[00:37:52] out by

[00:37:52] Ohio State

[00:37:54] but you know

[00:37:55] two title

[00:37:55] chances

[00:37:57] and then

[00:37:58] you know

[00:37:59] now they're

[00:37:59] back

[00:38:00] you know

[00:38:02] they're one

[00:38:02] of those

[00:38:03] teams

[00:38:03] that

[00:38:04] they're a

[00:38:05] different

[00:38:05] Oregon team

[00:38:06] now

[00:38:07] I mean

[00:38:07] back then

[00:38:08] although

[00:38:08] they're soft

[00:38:09] you know

[00:38:09] they're not

[00:38:10] physical

[00:38:11] now they're

[00:38:12] physical as hell

[00:38:13] they're one of

[00:38:13] the more

[00:38:14] physical teams

[00:38:14] in America

[00:38:15] they're physical

[00:38:16] but they kept

[00:38:17] their signature

[00:38:18] which is speed

[00:38:19] the thing about

[00:38:20] all of those

[00:38:21] Oregon teams

[00:38:22] going back

[00:38:22] from the

[00:38:22] Mike Bellotti

[00:38:23] the Rich Brooks

[00:38:24] days

[00:38:24] they were always

[00:38:25] fast

[00:38:26] and

[00:38:27] that has

[00:38:28] stayed the

[00:38:28] same

[00:38:29] Dan

[00:38:29] Lanning

[00:38:29] has kept

[00:38:30] that speed

[00:38:30] but like

[00:38:31] you said

[00:38:31] while adding

[00:38:32] toughness to

[00:38:33] a program

[00:38:33] that needed

[00:38:34] it

[00:38:34] so

[00:38:35] at the end

[00:38:36] of the day

[00:38:37] all four of

[00:38:37] these games

[00:38:38] look great

[00:38:39] just on paper

[00:38:40] look like

[00:38:40] it's gonna be

[00:38:41] a lot of fun

[00:38:41] yeah for sure

[00:38:44] and even if you're

[00:38:45] looking just for

[00:38:45] big time games

[00:38:47] I mean

[00:38:47] the prime time

[00:38:48] games

[00:38:50] on

[00:38:50] I mean

[00:38:51] the later

[00:38:51] two other games

[00:38:52] on New Year's

[00:38:53] I mean

[00:38:53] four

[00:38:54] four

[00:38:55] you know

[00:38:56] football

[00:38:57] I mean

[00:38:58] football

[00:38:59] legend

[00:38:59] schools

[00:39:00] I mean

[00:39:00] exactly

[00:39:01] yeah

[00:39:02] you can't

[00:39:02] yeah

[00:39:03] it's hard

[00:39:03] to

[00:39:04] hard to

[00:39:05] pass up

[00:39:05] those names

[00:39:06] just on

[00:39:06] name alone

[00:39:07] yeah

[00:39:07] exactly

[00:39:09] off the field

[00:39:10] of course

[00:39:10] transfer portal

[00:39:12] happening

[00:39:12] has been going

[00:39:13] on

[00:39:13] I think

[00:39:15] the big

[00:39:15] news

[00:39:16] this week

[00:39:17] John

[00:39:18] Mateer

[00:39:18] transferring

[00:39:19] to Oklahoma

[00:39:20] from Washington

[00:39:21] State

[00:39:22] yeah

[00:39:22] he's following

[00:39:23] his offensive

[00:39:23] coordinator

[00:39:24] who the

[00:39:24] Sooners hired

[00:39:26] away from

[00:39:27] then I saw

[00:39:28] that they are

[00:39:29] defensive

[00:39:29] coordinator

[00:39:30] left to go

[00:39:31] to West

[00:39:31] Virginia

[00:39:34] did he

[00:39:35] take the

[00:39:35] head coach

[00:39:36] or no

[00:39:36] the

[00:39:36] defensive

[00:39:37] coordinator

[00:39:37] job

[00:39:38] obviously

[00:39:38] Rich Rod

[00:39:38] got the

[00:39:39] head coach

[00:39:39] yeah

[00:39:39] I'm just

[00:39:40] like

[00:39:40] oh

[00:39:40] that's

[00:39:41] weird

[00:39:42] and then

[00:39:43] yeah

[00:39:44] defense is

[00:39:44] necessarily

[00:39:50] they got

[00:39:51] South Dakota

[00:39:52] State's

[00:39:53] Jimmy Rogers

[00:39:53] to come

[00:39:54] in

[00:39:55] as their

[00:39:56] new head

[00:39:57] coach

[00:39:57] there

[00:39:57] in

[00:39:58] Pullman

[00:39:58] so

[00:40:00] some

[00:40:00] changes

[00:40:01] going

[00:40:01] around

[00:40:01] Pullman

[00:40:01] but a

[00:40:02] great

[00:40:02] get

[00:40:02] for

[00:40:02] Oklahoma

[00:40:03] there

[00:40:03] and

[00:40:03] Grant

[00:40:04] Venables

[00:40:06] certainly

[00:40:07] just a

[00:40:07] guy

[00:40:07] that

[00:40:08] can really

[00:40:09] sling

[00:40:09] the ball

[00:40:09] around

[00:40:10] of course

[00:40:10] they lost

[00:40:10] Jackson

[00:40:11] Arnold

[00:40:11] to

[00:40:11] Auburn

[00:40:12] in

[00:40:12] the

[00:40:12] portal

[00:40:12] yeah

[00:40:15] and

[00:40:16] speaking

[00:40:16] Auburn

[00:40:17] they got

[00:40:17] a big

[00:40:17] get

[00:40:18] this week

[00:40:18] themselves

[00:40:18] and Eric

[00:40:19] Singleton

[00:40:19] Jr.

[00:40:20] receiver

[00:40:20] from

[00:40:21] Georgia

[00:40:21] Tech

[00:40:21] that's

[00:40:22] a huge

[00:40:23] yeah

[00:40:24] but

[00:40:25] and then

[00:40:26] I don't

[00:40:26] know if

[00:40:27] you saw

[00:40:27] this

[00:40:27] either

[00:40:27] but so

[00:40:30] was it

[00:40:31] William

[00:40:31] White

[00:40:32] what is

[00:40:32] his name

[00:40:32] one of

[00:40:33] the

[00:40:33] backup

[00:40:33] quarterbacks

[00:40:34] for

[00:40:34] Auburn

[00:40:35] he

[00:40:36] transferred

[00:40:36] to

[00:40:38] Baylor

[00:40:39] I want

[00:40:39] to say

[00:40:39] and he

[00:40:41] made an

[00:40:41] interesting

[00:40:41] statement

[00:40:42] on

[00:40:42] Twitter

[00:40:43] whatever

[00:40:43] he did

[00:40:44] he said

[00:40:45] yeah

[00:40:46] he was

[00:40:47] excited

[00:40:47] you know

[00:40:48] the usual

[00:40:48] excited

[00:40:49] to get

[00:40:49] the

[00:40:49] program

[00:40:49] excited

[00:40:50] to meet

[00:40:50] my

[00:40:50] teammates

[00:40:50] and

[00:40:51] I'm

[00:40:51] excited

[00:40:52] that

[00:40:52] there's

[00:40:53] a

[00:40:53] plan

[00:40:53] for

[00:40:53] quarterback

[00:40:54] development

[00:40:55] right

[00:40:55] and

[00:40:56] that

[00:41:19] there's

[00:41:19] some

[00:41:19] exciting

[00:41:19] talent

[00:41:20] there

[00:41:20] on

[00:41:20] the

[00:41:20] planes

[00:41:21] but

[00:41:22] obviously

[00:41:22] there's

[00:41:23] still

[00:41:23] some

[00:41:24] issues

[00:41:24] on the

[00:41:25] development

[00:41:25] side

[00:41:27] Hugh

[00:41:27] Freeze

[00:41:27] still needs

[00:41:28] to prove

[00:41:28] that he

[00:41:29] is worth

[00:41:30] the price

[00:41:31] they paid

[00:41:31] for him

[00:41:32] both

[00:41:32] monetarily

[00:41:33] and you

[00:41:34] know

[00:41:34] karmically

[00:41:35] as we

[00:41:36] talk about

[00:41:36] often

[00:41:36] you know

[00:41:38] that job

[00:41:38] probably

[00:41:39] I think

[00:41:40] a lot

[00:41:40] of people

[00:41:40] thought that

[00:41:41] should have

[00:41:41] been

[00:41:41] Cadillac

[00:41:42] Williams

[00:41:42] and

[00:41:43] the way

[00:41:44] he left

[00:41:44] the program

[00:41:45] after a

[00:41:45] year

[00:41:46] under

[00:41:47] Hugh

[00:41:47] Freeze

[00:41:48] was

[00:41:48] still

[00:41:48] strange

[00:41:51] so

[00:41:53] that's

[00:41:53] just

[00:41:53] something

[00:41:54] to watch

[00:41:54] there

[00:41:54] but

[00:41:54] a

[00:41:54] big

[00:41:55] pick up

[00:41:55] for them

[00:41:55] we'll

[00:41:56] focus

[00:41:56] on that

[00:41:56] part

[00:41:57] for

[00:41:57] them

[00:41:59] we still

[00:42:00] don't know

[00:42:00] who

[00:42:01] what

[00:42:01] Jackson

[00:42:01] Arnold

[00:42:02] is

[00:42:02] we

[00:42:03] don't

[00:42:03] know

[00:42:04] exactly

[00:42:04] yeah

[00:42:05] you know

[00:42:05] is he

[00:42:05] still got

[00:42:06] that

[00:42:06] five

[00:42:06] star

[00:42:08] mentality

[00:42:09] that

[00:42:09] talent

[00:42:09] in him

[00:42:10] is he

[00:42:10] still

[00:42:10] that

[00:42:11] kind

[00:42:11] of

[00:42:11] quarterback

[00:42:11] or

[00:42:11] is he

[00:42:12] just

[00:42:13] not

[00:42:13] the

[00:42:13] quarterback

[00:42:14] scouts

[00:42:14] thought

[00:42:15] he

[00:42:15] was

[00:42:15] you know

[00:42:15] right

[00:42:16] who knows

[00:42:16] we'll find

[00:42:17] out

[00:42:17] but

[00:42:18] that's

[00:42:19] the

[00:42:19] key

[00:42:19] definitely

[00:42:20] still

[00:42:20] needs to

[00:42:20] get

[00:42:20] developed

[00:42:22] yeah

[00:42:23] and so

[00:42:23] we'll see

[00:42:24] yeah

[00:42:24] I just

[00:42:25] thought that

[00:42:25] was an

[00:42:25] interesting

[00:42:26] yeah

[00:42:26] I saw

[00:42:27] that today

[00:42:27] I was like

[00:42:28] whoa

[00:42:28] yeah

[00:42:28] yeah

[00:42:30] other

[00:42:30] interesting

[00:42:31] ones

[00:42:31] Fernando

[00:42:32] Mendoza

[00:42:32] Cow's

[00:42:33] quarterback

[00:42:33] he'll be

[00:42:33] going to

[00:42:34] Indiana

[00:42:34] yeah

[00:42:39] that's

[00:42:39] a good

[00:42:40] pickup

[00:42:41] for them

[00:42:41] you know

[00:42:41] to help

[00:42:42] replace

[00:42:43] Curtis

[00:42:43] Rourke

[00:42:45] Jaheem

[00:42:46] Otis

[00:42:47] Oates

[00:42:48] Colorado

[00:42:48] he is

[00:42:49] yeah

[00:42:50] Alabama

[00:42:51] traded players

[00:42:51] you know

[00:42:52] of course

[00:42:52] he announced

[00:42:52] earlier in the

[00:42:53] season that he

[00:42:54] was entering

[00:42:54] the portal

[00:42:56] of course

[00:42:56] Alabama got

[00:42:57] their linebacker

[00:42:58] great get

[00:42:58] for them

[00:42:58] and now

[00:42:59] they get

[00:42:59] a defensive

[00:43:00] tackle

[00:43:00] that

[00:43:01] helps

[00:43:02] them

[00:43:04] we didn't

[00:43:05] do a

[00:43:07] lot in

[00:43:07] the portal

[00:43:08] but we

[00:43:08] definitely

[00:43:09] got needs

[00:43:09] we do

[00:43:11] and there's

[00:43:12] Miami

[00:43:20] still open

[00:43:20] players

[00:43:21] there that

[00:43:22] I think

[00:43:23] they can

[00:43:23] still announce

[00:43:24] I think

[00:43:25] this week

[00:43:25] ends when

[00:43:27] you can

[00:43:27] enter the

[00:43:27] portal

[00:43:28] but you

[00:43:28] can still

[00:43:28] announce

[00:43:29] your

[00:43:29] intentions

[00:43:29] to

[00:43:30] wherever

[00:43:30] you're

[00:43:30] going

[00:43:33] very interested

[00:44:04] actually

[00:44:04] did he

[00:44:05] announce

[00:44:06] a little

[00:44:07] bit of

[00:44:07] break

[00:44:07] yeah

[00:44:12] good get

[00:44:13] for them

[00:44:14] yeah

[00:44:14] that's a

[00:44:14] but I'll

[00:44:15] tell you

[00:44:16] receiver

[00:44:16] who's

[00:44:16] out there

[00:44:17] announced

[00:44:17] his

[00:44:17] exit

[00:44:18] that I

[00:44:19] would love

[00:44:19] to see

[00:44:19] in Crimson

[00:44:20] is Zachariah

[00:44:21] Branch

[00:44:21] now a

[00:44:22] former USC

[00:44:22] a guy

[00:44:24] that reminds

[00:44:25] me a lot

[00:44:25] of Jalen

[00:44:26] Waddell

[00:44:26] and that

[00:44:28] home run

[00:44:28] speed

[00:44:29] that home

[00:44:29] run

[00:44:29] ability

[00:44:30] him and

[00:44:30] his brother

[00:44:31] I believe

[00:44:31] the safety

[00:44:32] Zion

[00:44:33] branch

[00:44:33] both

[00:44:45] West Coast

[00:44:46] connection

[00:44:46] there

[00:44:46] that maybe

[00:44:47] Kalen

[00:44:48] DeBoer

[00:44:48] if he

[00:44:49] knows

[00:44:49] if he

[00:44:49] saw

[00:44:50] him

[00:44:50] first

[00:44:50] hand

[00:44:50] but

[00:44:50] this

[00:44:51] is

[00:44:51] Branch

[00:44:52] is a guy

[00:44:52] that

[00:44:52] immediately

[00:44:53] coming on

[00:44:54] the scene

[00:44:54] as a freshman

[00:44:55] last season

[00:44:56] just an

[00:44:57] absolutely

[00:44:58] great return

[00:44:59] two couple

[00:45:00] return

[00:45:00] touchdowns

[00:45:01] over 700

[00:45:02] yards

[00:45:02] and returns

[00:45:04] just a

[00:45:05] dynamic

[00:45:06] dude

[00:45:07] one of

[00:45:08] those guys

[00:45:09] any

[00:45:10] any

[00:45:11] any

[00:45:12] touch

[00:45:12] could be a

[00:45:13] touchdown

[00:45:13] type of

[00:45:14] guy

[00:45:14] yeah

[00:45:15] he's one

[00:45:15] of those

[00:45:16] guys

[00:45:16] that you

[00:45:16] can just

[00:45:16] get it

[00:45:17] to him

[00:45:18] short

[00:45:18] throws

[00:45:18] you know

[00:45:19] screens

[00:45:19] jet

[00:45:20] sweeps

[00:45:20] you know

[00:45:21] a little

[00:45:21] slants

[00:45:22] and you

[00:45:22] know

[00:45:23] like I

[00:45:24] said

[00:45:24] he

[00:45:24] reminds me

[00:45:25] a lot

[00:45:25] of Jalen

[00:45:26] Waddell

[00:45:26] on that

[00:45:27] just hit

[00:45:27] him

[00:45:28] anywhere

[00:45:28] you know

[00:45:29] get him

[00:45:29] the ball

[00:45:30] in space

[00:45:30] and let

[00:45:31] him do

[00:45:31] his

[00:45:31] thing

[00:45:32] and

[00:45:33] he's

[00:45:34] a guy

[00:45:34] I feel

[00:45:34] like

[00:45:35] I'd

[00:45:35] love

[00:45:35] to

[00:45:35] see

[00:45:35] in

[00:45:36] Kaelin

[00:45:36] the

[00:45:37] bar

[00:45:37] offense

[00:45:37] absolutely

[00:45:38] but yeah

[00:45:39] there's

[00:45:39] some other

[00:45:39] big guys

[00:45:40] out there

[00:45:40] Takario

[00:45:41] Davis

[00:45:41] cornerback

[00:45:42] from Arizona

[00:45:44] he's a big

[00:45:44] name that's

[00:45:45] still out

[00:45:45] there looking

[00:45:46] for a

[00:45:46] home

[00:45:49] there's

[00:45:49] one more

[00:45:50] ahead and

[00:45:51] I've lost

[00:45:52] him on my

[00:45:52] list

[00:45:55] I will

[00:45:56] probably think

[00:45:57] of it

[00:45:57] after as

[00:45:58] soon as

[00:45:58] we stop

[00:45:58] recording

[00:46:00] I know

[00:46:01] one interesting

[00:46:02] one going

[00:46:03] from Alabama

[00:46:04] Justice Haynes

[00:46:05] still hasn't

[00:46:05] announced

[00:46:07] I know

[00:46:09] Michigan

[00:46:09] it looked

[00:46:10] to see

[00:46:10] like he

[00:46:11] was

[00:46:11] going

[00:46:12] to lock

[00:46:12] and then

[00:46:12] he hasn't

[00:46:13] signed

[00:46:13] yet

[00:46:13] yeah

[00:46:14] he just

[00:46:15] hasn't

[00:46:15] quite

[00:46:16] announced

[00:46:16] it

[00:46:16] but

[00:46:16] it

[00:46:17] seems

[00:46:17] like

[00:46:17] that

[00:46:17] would

[00:46:17] be

[00:46:17] a

[00:46:18] good

[00:46:18] place

[00:46:18] for him

[00:46:20] a guy

[00:46:20] that

[00:46:20] just

[00:46:21] wants

[00:46:21] to

[00:46:21] tote

[00:46:22] the

[00:46:22] rock

[00:46:22] there

[00:46:24] a couple

[00:46:25] line

[00:46:25] interior

[00:46:26] linemen

[00:46:26] out there

[00:46:31] Colorado

[00:46:31] we mentioned

[00:46:32] they got

[00:46:33] the quarterback

[00:46:34] decommitted

[00:46:35] from USC

[00:46:36] and then

[00:46:37] flipped over

[00:46:38] to them

[00:46:38] they also

[00:46:39] got

[00:46:39] Liberty's

[00:46:40] quarterback

[00:46:40] Caden

[00:46:41] Salter

[00:46:43] in the

[00:46:43] portal

[00:46:44] so that

[00:46:45] it's interesting

[00:46:45] to see what

[00:46:46] they

[00:46:46] what they

[00:46:47] do

[00:46:48] going

[00:46:48] forward

[00:46:49] just with

[00:46:50] you know

[00:46:51] keeping that

[00:46:52] that interest

[00:46:53] alive there

[00:46:54] I mean of course

[00:46:55] he has you know

[00:46:56] two

[00:46:56] two legendary

[00:46:57] guys in the sun

[00:46:58] and Travis Hunter

[00:46:59] yeah but what do

[00:47:00] they do to keep

[00:47:00] it going

[00:47:02] and

[00:47:04] but you know

[00:47:05] that

[00:47:07] but they're

[00:47:07] in a good

[00:47:08] spot

[00:47:08] because I

[00:47:09] mean obviously

[00:47:09] the big 12

[00:47:10] is so up

[00:47:11] and down

[00:47:11] you know

[00:47:12] they

[00:47:12] you know

[00:47:15] yeah and

[00:47:16] nobody expected

[00:47:17] them to be

[00:47:17] in the conversation

[00:47:18] this year

[00:47:18] and they

[00:47:19] showed up

[00:47:20] I mean

[00:47:21] they could

[00:47:21] have very

[00:47:22] well been

[00:47:22] a playoff

[00:47:22] team

[00:47:23] if they

[00:47:24] didn't

[00:47:25] were a

[00:47:26] victim

[00:47:26] of

[00:47:27] everybody

[00:47:29] whilst

[00:47:29] the Kansas

[00:47:30] Kansas

[00:47:31] went on

[00:47:31] the heater

[00:47:32] and knocked

[00:47:33] off

[00:47:33] everybody

[00:47:34] real quick

[00:47:35] in November

[00:47:35] played spoiler

[00:47:37] for a little bit

[00:47:40] yeah but

[00:47:41] you know

[00:47:42] it'd be

[00:47:42] interesting

[00:47:43] just to see

[00:47:44] if he can

[00:47:45] continue to

[00:47:46] you know

[00:47:47] consistently

[00:47:48] be at that

[00:47:49] you know

[00:47:49] 10-2

[00:47:50] 9-3

[00:47:51] type season

[00:47:51] because honestly

[00:47:53] I mean

[00:47:54] not just for

[00:47:55] him

[00:47:56] not just for

[00:47:56] themselves

[00:47:57] but really

[00:47:58] Colorado

[00:47:59] has been

[00:48:00] had been

[00:48:01] terrible

[00:48:01] before

[00:48:02] Prime

[00:48:02] got there

[00:48:03] absolutely

[00:48:04] atrocious

[00:48:05] yeah like

[00:48:05] one winning
