I still think about when he fought against Adrian Peterson and you 110 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.679 know, knocked him out.

You know, it's it's a tough feat to do, 121 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159 and he's he's looking like he's enjoying it and knocking people out. Yeah, 122 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.519 it's it's definitely a tough feat to do. Uh. But it just 123 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:28.440 goes to show that running backs are like here we go. But but if 124 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.080 I'm livon, you don't you don't want logan Paul, you don't want that 125 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.679 smoke, Like I get it.

Hey. I was like, I 128 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.320 feel like he's gonna come on here and just be like, no, bro, 129 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.120 I've talked that talk. I don't care. You don't get paid to 130 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.799 get knocked out regardless of me. That's what I'm saying. If you don't 131 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:05.840 remember spending that money, man, Hey, Benny Fowler, he was. 132 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.080 That's the best athlete he's ever played with, and that says a lot. 133 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.679 Benny played with a lot of great athletes. Now we were spending some time 134 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.320 with him. So hey, man, look, that's that's your task. 135 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.559 You gotta go. We gotta track Le'Veon. Now bring him on the show. 136 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.960 Do the people want to see Le'Veon? Come on the show and let's 137 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.879 talk some boxing and some old Spartan stories. If that's the case, then 138 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.759 we got to get some engagement. If we do, I'm sure we can 139 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.879 coax them to get on the show. So we just got to do it 140 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.320 through social media. The power of social media. We can probably get him 141 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.840 here, guys. So another news. You know there's a high school down 142 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.039 in Florida. You know that we have a recruit that we're trying to get. 143 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.080 This guy by the name of David Stone. Nobody, nobody's paying attention 144 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.320 to that. I amg Academy sold today for one point two five billion, 145 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.200 fellas, And the thing that you're missing is I took a look at that 146 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.639 this sold for one one point two five billion cash. Yeah, don't forget 147 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:07.759 the cat. Yeah yeah, nothing known about it. This ain't no savvy 148 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.840 made, This ain't no like I'm real man, Like that is an absolute 149 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:20.440 like like option for what they built it with to then what they sell sell 150 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.120 it like endeavor. That's what, like I said past employer of mine, 151 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.240 I mean, they're beast in the in the market. Man. It's a 152 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.320 it's a piece of work where they they will and do it, get it 153 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.600 right to where it's beautiful, and you sell that thing. And I honestly 154 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.720 want to know what that group is going to do, like is keep it 155 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.799 consistently like or revamp it up and start building a little bit more. I 156 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.519 don't know, but I haven't seen you're you're a parent straight. Have you 157 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.600 received some communications of this cell? Yeah? There was, there was an 158 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.639 email that came out this morning before all the you know, but yeah, 159 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.559 not a lot of communication about it. The group that bought it is an 160 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:05.159 Asian group that that's like a private equity group that has about eighty two other 161 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.720 schools around the world. So you know, one of the things that they 162 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.000 their mission is to try to get more sports involvement for people to get into 163 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.840 you know, English speaking universities around the world. So I think they're going 164 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.039 to be bringing those eighty two campuses, like some of the athletes out of 165 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.120 there over to IMG to get them some some high level coaching. I don't 166 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.840 know what it says about the football team. That's one thing that that's a 167 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.720 little bit in the air from my business hat says. I don't know how 168 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.039 much sense it makes my you know, football fandom says, man, make 169 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.759 it bigger and better. But we'll see what happens. You know, when 170 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.320 I hear the type of company that bought it, it just seems like it's 171 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.840 going to be more you know, tennis, golf, volleyball, those types 172 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.480 of things will cross. But we'll see what happens with football. Yeah, 173 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.559 see that point straight My whole thinking behind this because Endeavor and All and Dever 174 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.480 owns ufc US and they merged, They just recently merged with WWE. They 175 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.120 Nevor bought WWE for over I believe it's like nine billion dollars and now they 176 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.559 have a comorant that they're going for and then their publicly trade to come for 177 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.240 you know, with coming in at twenty one billion. So there's a lot 178 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.399 of money that was thrown around there. But the thing that concerns me with 179 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:31.360 this new organization coming through is the fact about you know, IMG has something 180 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.120 very good going. You know, they they're preparing kids for the next level 181 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.720 in athletics and for college. If it's not broken, don't fix it. 182 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.519 You know, let you know you can acquire it. You know. But 183 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.799 I'm just saying, I'm I'm with you straight. I'm a little you know, 184 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.000 on the fence. You see what's gonna happen with the football because IMG 185 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.639 cop athletes into college. You know, these kids get an opportunity that they 186 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.279 would never get out of high school. You got a guy like I just 187 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.360 want Davie Hall. I don't talk about the people that are not here. 188 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.000 You got a guy like Jordan Hall. I love it. You know that 189 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.039 came in and look at look at what he's doing, look at the impact 190 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.879 that he's at in such a short time. So that is what I want 191 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.480 to see continue because these guys are coming in with the mind, the and 192 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.879 the body to play at the next level. So I hope this new organization 193 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.840 doesn't you know, taint too much of that, try to make too big 194 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:35.440 of a splash and get bigger than Theirches. Like he's out there with that, 195 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:43.720 he's out there with the other lady. The thing that David Stone with 196 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.720 me is I don't like at the end of the day, this gotta come 197 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.519 to an end, Like we gotta we gotta make a decision. You can't 198 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.320 be coming here, going there and come in here going and like it's just 199 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.399 now, it's just coming. It's just a facade. It's just it's just 200 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.120 you know, like at the end of the day, make me that's what 201 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.759 it is today to you sound like me, You sound like us old heads 202 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:10.080 out here. It's different now for these kids that is different. But I 203 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.279 know a point where it gets played out. He's playing with their emotions, 204 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.440 right, how many how many times you're gonna put on jerseys? Like or 205 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.519 are you recycling those fixtures? Like that's the thing it's like now, is 206 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.960 it just all for social media likes and everything? Or is it like you 207 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.879 know, like you're going back and forth, like what more information do you 208 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.000 need? You know it's between us and oh you, but like what what 209 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.879 more do you want? I gotta show this with to like Stove being all 210 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:53.320 the other schools videos and join up. Oh man, it's like that sounds 211 00:16:53.360 --> 00:17:00.360 like Sugar Knight. That was I like that. Yeah, it is. 212 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.440 It is crazy. I mean, you know, I was on the phone 213 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.039 with another coach that was a Power five just a friend guy, it's just 214 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.400 a former teammate that's a Power five coach, and he was pulling up to 215 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.920 a high school and I can he was talking to the kids. These kids. 216 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.480 We talked about the coaches that are under a lot of pressure because of 217 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.720 the twenty four to seven around the clock recruiting cycle that is college football. 218 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.400 The players, these kids are feeling the same pressure. I mean, they 219 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.279 don't know they got Ohio State. All these people in the school putting pressure 220 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.359 on them. The parents don't know what's going on. It's it's a lot, 221 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.759 guys. Then you have guys that are at the top of that mountain, 222 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.400 guys like David Stone that are playing the game just to try to get 223 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:48.160 their followers up and you know, basically raise their overall value. And the 224 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.400 way things stand, it's a lot. It is a crazy world. We 225 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.319 can have like several shows on this maybe we will. We'll have to have 226 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.039 Oldest break us down with a seminar showing us how this whole structure of college 227 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:02.839 athletics and MMR rights goes. That's multi media rights for those who are listening. 228 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.039 But talking about more pressure, there's a lot of pressure talk pressure for 229 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.799 you about this, you know, because you you are going to be in 230 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.119 this now. And I don't know if we talked about this on here or 231 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.720 not, but uh, the NCAA coming off the new rule that you can 232 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:27.559 take unlimited yes, yes, and everything like that just PADDs to like as 233 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.039 a parent, as a pair of as a pair of two kids that are 234 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.000 going to be playing at the next level, Like that's your life as a 235 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.799 parent, really, you know, yeah, it is, it is. 236 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.880 And I'm seeing the parents that are starting to deal with it. They haven't 237 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:47.440 gotten to the unlimited. They're just booking those trips right now. But with 238 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:52.079 five guys at the end of that five uh you know visit cycle, you 239 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.839 see parents passed out in the in the hotel lobby, like just just like 240 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.000 dizzy, Like how many pitches can you listen to? How many campus tours 241 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.160 can you see? Facilities start blending together, weight rooms all look the same, 242 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.839 and you know the coaches are all saying commit, commit, Commit, 243 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.599 Commit. It's a lot. Now you're going to add more, Like you 244 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.119 said, it's going to be unlimited for those players. How is that going 245 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.480 to shake out? They didn't give more visits to the schools, so the 246 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:26.039 schools still have fifty six visits to give out guys. So that means who 247 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.440 is going to be affected by this. It's going to be that developmental player 248 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.759 that we talk about a lot. It's going to be those super high blue 249 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.480 chips, the five and four stars getting all the visits, and then those 250 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.680 guys that don't have the name or whatever it is behind them right now, 251 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.799 or they may not have grown into their body yet, they're not going to 252 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.400 get those official visits of Power five schools, and so that's going to bote 253 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.279 wealth in my opinion, to the lower tier schools are going to get more 254 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.799 talented players. It's the way of this world with the transfer portal and everything 255 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.039 that goes along with it. Guys. I mean, there's a lot going 256 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.920 We could do a whole show on on this. Want to get to our 257 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.319 guests, but talking about this subject in particular, what happened, we have 258 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.160 to mention what happened, what's going on in Boulder, Colorado. The Buffalo's 259 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.599 prime coach, Prime Deon Sanders. There's been a mass exodus. Guys. 260 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:18.000 It says thirteen right now, it's twenty as of Saturday have hit the portal 261 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.119 as of right this minute. Maybe it's more since we got on the air, 262 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.720 like I don't even know what. I don't even know a response of, 263 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.599 Like it's a Max excedus. It's like what's gonna really, it's what's 264 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.400 gonna happen, Like clearly you got to go attack the portal, which he's 265 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.359 been open and honest about attacking the portal. So I don't think there's gonna 266 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.640 be a drop off, but it is tough where you losing some foundational players 267 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.200 that you should have retained, like you had the receiver who bought out screen 268 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.880 game, like youuld have thought they had a connection like him and Shador Sanders 269 00:20:53.880 --> 00:21:00.759 have been legit having a connection this entire season in just a into the portal 270 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.279 because like listen, this ain't it. Like something's got it, something's happening, 271 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.400 man, where you know he'll be good because I think he's getting the 272 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.359 five stars coming in. I think the writing on the wall is that if 273 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.720 you're not at this level, you already showed me what you can do, 274 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.720 so go somewhere else and flourish. But this ain't it for you. And 275 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.519 I think maybe Prime is honest with them. I wish we could be a 276 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.160 fly on the wall that presentation of like it's like the league. Hey, 277 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.839 man, turn your stuff in. Hey, we're gonna go with somebody else. 278 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.359 Man, we appreciate your hard at work effort. I'll do whatever you 279 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.400 can for you, but this one ain't for you. So we'll get you 280 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.759 right man. Or like, hey, you graduating, all right, what's 281 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.640 the next step. You're gonna go in get a job or you're gonna be 282 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.279 a here Like I just those conversations are just weird, man, Like I 283 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.680 wish we could be in to be honest with you. Yeah, what do 284 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.680 you think too? Yeah? I think it's uh, there's something deeper. 285 00:21:55.680 --> 00:22:00.000 There's a deeper layer to this, because there's no way that I get it. 286 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.160 At the end of the spring game, you know, two three guys 287 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.160 jump in the portal because they're unhappy with their playing time and they're unhappy with 288 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.799 spring ball. But like twenty something guys leaving, you know, some by 289 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.720 will some by like the receiver, I'm sure he wasn't told to leave, 290 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.160 you know, some of them. I'm sure they were told, Hey, 291 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.400 you know, we got guys coming in the summer year. Spot's not gonna 292 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.039 be You're far on the depth chart. We're gonna give these guys a chance 293 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.160 over you, and they're leaving. But if you're gonna have this, you 294 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.839 know, this continuous revolving door, you know, how can you go and 295 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:34.880 recruit kids? Now? How can you go? Are you going the basketball 296 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.119 approach to hey, you know, come here for a year, test it 297 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.920 out. If you don't like it, you can leave? You know? 298 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:41.880 Is that the sentiment that you're sending when you're sitting in you know, a 299 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.039 parents living room and saying that, So, how are you gonna do that? 300 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.200 There has to be I get it. I don't get me wrong. 301 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.359 I love coach Prime. I love what he's doing for the game and well 302 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.200 how he's elevating black coaches to those levels, but also too, there has 303 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.599 to be that, you know, take that step back and be like, 304 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.359 there, this has been done so many times, so many years. College 305 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.240 football has been there and it's been this way for a reason. You can't 306 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.279 just go and disrupt the apple cart in one season, because you could lose 307 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.160 everything like that. You got to slowly transition, build upon the culture that's 308 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.359 already there, add add your own flavor to it, and then continue to 309 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.680 go that way. Yeah, man man that as well said, I agree 310 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.119 with you, go ahead, go ahead. How many of those guys were 311 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.200 a few tough guys. How many are those in that portal? That's a 312 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.119 question right there. Clearly you still have like who is like are we going 313 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.640 to because I know we've had some Colorado guys come over here, Like how 314 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.240 many of that group is like, are some dudes? And do you see 315 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.440 us getting some of them? Because of the relationship that you on me have 316 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.400 with some of those recruits. But that's a question. I don't know if 317 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.359 you're a recruit there. If you're a recruit there, do you leave because 318 00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.519 you do you feel that your coach abandoned you the first time? And now 319 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:07.640 do you go follow him again? Well, we know Jared Mangham did exactly 320 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:14.319 that, but he by way of South Florida Colorado University of South Florida and 321 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.480 then back as running back and he's playing with his brother Jayden Mangham here. 322 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:25.200 Did you see him close saying to coaches, please I am a Misgan State 323 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.000 spartan. Yeah, stay out of my DMS. So the colluding's there, 324 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:34.920 man, Like it's crazy out here, because insane. I mean it's you 325 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:40.519 know when you see guys that going to the portal and then within you know, 326 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:44.119 twenty four hours, forty eight hours there with another Power five team. 327 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.680 That is what you call colludion, collusion, tampering, whatever it is. 328 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.400 There's something going on, right, But you know, how do you get 329 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.160 your arms around all that? And you know, I think that there are 330 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.359 players, absolutely, there's players from Mels tenure at Colorado. There's from the 331 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.680 previous coach that just got fired. I don't know his name at the top 332 00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:11.079 of my head. And and uh, you know just what Diana is bringing 333 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.839 in, uh some freshmen that haven't gotten there yet. There's I think fourteen 334 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.960 or so that are coming in star five stars, like only one one five 335 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.039 star and three or four four stars. The thing too, though, like 336 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.440 what those kids, because I'm sure it was a spring game, so there 337 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.240 are tons of recruits there. They could have been caught up in the atmosphere, 338 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.880 like I sold out stadium. You know, this is the year before 339 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:44.160 and then this is so now you're a recruit. You're like, oh man, 340 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.279 look at this, you know, and you can go to coach Prime 341 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.480 right now, Hey, hey, I'm coming here, I'm coming, I'm 342 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.400 coming, and Coach Prime goes, oh, well, I got to make 343 00:25:51.480 --> 00:26:02.519 room. So that's a very that That is exactly how that stuff works, 344 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.799 ladies and gentlemen. Right there, he's got he's got guys that are wanting 345 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.279 to come in, and he has a make room there. It is for 346 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.359 the coaches are trying to recruit me. I'm sorry, I will not be 347 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.000 able to get my what is this? Oh yeah, this is the one. 348 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.920 The guy when he calls out Zach Recordney basically calls out Prime here by 349 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:26.160 saying that my film from practices last season aren't allowed because the head coach at 350 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.079 Colorado, we don't know who that is, Prime won't allow it. This 351 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.799 is very unlucky. And if you have any questions, just text me. 352 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.200 That had a lot of views. Guys, that's like three hundred and ninety 353 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.079 two thousand plus views.

You know, they're 358 00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.200 gonna run different concept different schemes and everything like that.

The film, howe it is is a 361 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.680 practice or game film, and that that should be the property of the young 362 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:19.119 man that's trying to Somebody gave us the fact here here we go arts. 363 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.640 Yep, lord, She says, there are five guys still in that roster 364 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.000 today.

We had hand faeing on Oklahoma. 373 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.720 Well, that hamp Faye, former quarterback of Michigan State, converted tight end, 374 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.880 is now going to be a boomer sooner. Man, you're looking at 375 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:26.240 one hundred thousand views, like uh two believes he's going to he's already converted 376 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.759 to the tight end. I don't know that for a fact, But I 377 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.680 wish we showed those pictures of him in front of the stadium Instagram picture of 378 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:38.880 you know, having two gloves on and you know, catching the football. 379 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.519 I mean it's okay to wear two gloves. Didn't Brothelisberger wear two gloves like 380 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.680 there was no there was no uh you know, the work was going to 381 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.519 be played with this. You know, I got it, got some buddies 382 00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.559 down where you know where my cattle is in Oklahoma, by the way, 383 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:04.640 I know I need a cow beef. Man. I got big boys. 384 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:08.680 You know, those guys are excited to have them down. You know, 385 00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.000 he did call me to part like an hour before we jumped down the air 386 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:14.759 here. You know, He's like, Hey, this this guy, and 387 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.720 they think, uh, you know, they all love venables down there, 388 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.960 and they think he's a talent whisper. So he's gonna do good things with 389 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.480 this and you know it's like, you know, congratulations to him. That's 390 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.839 like I don't know, like if you're looking at the pro is that a 391 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.200 lateral move? Is that an upward move? Is it a down move? 392 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.799 What do you guys think? Well, is this it's a great question. 393 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:38.720 Great Now this is the first this is the first year in the SEC, 394 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:48.279 right, yes, next year next. Honestly from what that program has done, 395 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.079 yes, I think it's a it's an upward move, to be honest 396 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:59.119 with you, like historically historically with historically historically, Yeah, I mean I 397 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.440 think it's for an upward move where we're at like I feel like it was 398 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.480 coach d'ser like I would say no because like we were, we were prominent. 399 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.680 But yeah, I think it's time for you know, Bloomer sooners playing 400 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.079 some great games. That river River soow down in Texas is a beast, 401 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.519 right like you are prime time football down there. So I think it's a 402 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:25.200 good move for him and if he lands and successfully produces, I think he 403 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.640 has a plan to go to the NFL. I mean, he has the 404 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:32.240 body of a solid tight end. Like I don't see him as a quarterback, 405 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.720 you know what I mean, like to your point now that I'm looking 406 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:40.200 at it like he's a Rocky Barbo of Rocky Lombardi type Phil. So yeah, 407 00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:48.079 I think it's an upper move. Look at like our girl what she 408 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:56.559 said. I'm not gonna Ben wasn't trying to thinker put it up? Oh 409 00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:03.519 man, No, you know what I mean? Whatever, Hey man, 410 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.960 it's a free country. Can people say what they want to say. I 411 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.480 don't know. Yeah, maybe he wasn't. I don't know what that implies. 412 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:18.000 But you know, like like I agree with you, maybe right now 413 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.680 it can you can consider it a lateral move. But historically, over the 414 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:29.839 last decade or two, Oklahoma's just put way more NFL talent out than Michigan 415 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.240 State. I would love to say it the other way around, and I'm 416 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.759 looking forward to it changing, but the way it was, and you know, 417 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.960 outside of what Venables has done as a new coach coming over from Clemson, 418 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.440 the longtime defensive coordinator with Dad Bo Sweeney has come over to Oklahoma, 419 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.319 so it's going to take him some time to get the thing going. Oklahoma's 420 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.480 got a rabbit fan base. I mean, it's crazy, and they have 421 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.759 a lot of talent that continues to want to go there. So I like 422 00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.279 the move by him, you know, because I'm sure it's a little nerve 423 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.960 wracking when you're looking around your your quarterback one minute, then you're tight end, 424 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.640 and then as you're a tight end, they bring in like eight tight 425 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.960 ends into your room in December, so that had to be a tense Christmas. 426 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:17.400 And also them walls start closing in. Absolutely, let's go back to 427 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.920 two sours. Like he still didn't confer. Was the position full of change? 428 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.319 Like he's gonna be fully tight end? Did you get to that question? 429 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.240 I didn't get. I don't know that I can't. But they're just 430 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.160 excited about it and excited what it is. They think he's going to be 431 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.599 a tight end because Venables, it's a defensive minded coach. He wants to, 432 00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.680 you know, sustain drives, keeping you know, guys on the field, 433 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.920 and a tight end is gonna do that, be able to block and 434 00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:45.839 everything like that and let the defense go out there and win it for them. 435 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.839 And I guarantee you gonna have a double pass already in the mix. 436 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.960 Question. Guy, we gotta move it along because we got got to get 437 00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:59.200 to our guests. But Will Levis, you know, NFL Draft is coming 438 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:05.279 up. Odds for will Levis went from plus four thousand down the plus four 439 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.079 hundred in a short time. Because there's a lot of movement out there. 440 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.319 There's rumors saying that he's been telling his family and friends he's gonna go number 441 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.960 one overall to the Carolina Panthers. Listen, we all know, and they 442 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:19.960 tell you one thing, it don't matter to you. Get that call. 443 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.359 So I got it. I got it. I got a draft story for 444 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:30.920 y'all. I'm sitting in my living room. The phone rings, the Buffalo 445 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.279 Bills call me. It's the fifth round. Hey, yeah, we love 446 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.440 you. We're gonna pick you up with our next pick. I'm like, 447 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:45.559 okay, let's go. Buffalo us on the clock the pick us in. 448 00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:57.640 They go up there. They go up there and say so it's a pick 449 00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:02.359 in the fifth round. The Buffalo Bills elect and everyonce already running back. 450 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.639 I was like, oh, let's go Xavier Omar from I don't know, 451 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:20.519 Central Kentucky or something like that. I'll say you mother samesease brother the same 452 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.239 these man. Caroline's like, hey, left rown. I went from fourth 453 00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:30.079 round and undrafted. So when you're talking about it, don't matter until you 454 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.519 get that call. Man. Like to be honest with you, it does 455 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.079 not matter. It's hey, do you remember this, Do you remember that 456 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:46.599 story about about Caleb. It wasn't in Kellen and Hoyer. We gotta bring 457 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:52.280 Kellan on or someone. We gotta confirm this. But apparently I believe Kellen 458 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:59.039 called Hoyer dude his draft and fact that he was the consest we're gonna take. 459 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:07.599 I think I heard that too. I swear somebody you know Kellen did 460 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:14.960 it. Kevin apparently did that. When you don't go drafted and it's like, 461 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.559 hey, the last laugh playing boy is older than all of us. 462 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.920 He's still in the league. Unbelievable man, great, great uh career. 463 00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:29.320 He's put together the guy. So, you know, speaking and talking about 464 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:35.440 drafts, we got the NBA draft Akins, Look, Jay Nakins is looking 465 00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.880 at testing the NBA draft waters I would say, looking, he is, 466 00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:44.000 so but he's my this is my favorite player on the squad. Like and 467 00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:50.679 I say this because he he does what you're supposed to do in all fastest 468 00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:54.880 of the game, and you know loves that like loves it, like you 469 00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:59.960 know that Jayden is going out there, he's gonna play defense, he will 470 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.960 dunk on you, he's gonna shoot the trade ball, and he has that 471 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:07.400 quick first step, and so why not just to see where you do land 472 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:12.400 and you have the opportunity to come back. I love Tom's response on he's 473 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:16.719 going to be celebrated regardless decision is So you see Coach Thomson, I said, 474 00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:22.360 Coach Tom Izzo saying, hey, he's grown immensely in two short years, 475 00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.639 which that's facts. He's truly elevated himself and has worked truly hard. 476 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.199 And so for him to do this, I love Tom that he does this 477 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.000 with the NBA, with all of our guys that go. It's like, 478 00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:36.519 let's figure out what the analysis is. If it's not what you think, 479 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:38.800 you know, I'm gonna tell you what I think. But it's truly up 480 00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:42.360 to you as a man to make the decision, and we're gonna live and 481 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.719 die by it. And so we've had some of these instances where remember Deontay 482 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:52.440 Davis where we thought he should have stayed. Absolutely everybody's thought he should have 483 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:57.840 stayed one he got from money, but really it didn't last. And I 484 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:02.239 think those are the instance instance of examples for him to say listen, I 485 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.119 know what I'm talking about. So stay one more year and I guarantee you 486 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.559 you're gonna you're gonna be going further in the draft versus like we can win 487 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.119 the championship if he comes back, right, So I think those are the 488 00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:16.920 instances that there's unfinished business. I hope he does decide what's best for him. 489 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:21.719 Obviously, being me, I would love for him to just say I'm 490 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.239 coming back and then it's on. It's on the popet. Yeah, I 491 00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.760 like I like to quote there by untitled Beer Ranking Show. I mean, 492 00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.800 is that just Sean? Can we just say Sean? If you look at 493 00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:39.840 Shannon Brown, Jackrey Akins a similar you know slope, it is the athletic 494 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:45.360 guy explosive. I mean, just one of those guys that just his athleticism 495 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:51.400 belongs to the NBA and being coached by Toime Menzel doesn't hurt. So why 496 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.360 not? What does this hurt? To go test the waters? I wish 497 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.280 NFL guy like this, that'd be cool. You know, you could decline 498 00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.320 is it the portal like this right now too? I could truly play with 499 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.199 three power of our schools if I want, like, well, well you 500 00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:07.599 saw that today with the Notre Dame. We didn't get into that. There's 501 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.679 a quarterback in Notre Dame that has the blessing of Marcus Fraeman. Here he 502 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.400 is right here, geez, we do have the best. This is Tyler 503 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:21.559 Buckner is entering the portal with the understanding if he doesn't get the offer that 504 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:27.440 he wants, he can come back. See see see see see see. 505 00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.599 I don't know, I don't know. I'm a I'm a US sweet hour 506 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:35.480 not I mean my guy, Like, what do you guys think about a 507 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.920 guy? Don't I know? Colin Hayward did the same thing, but there 508 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:43.519 was a coaching change, so I gave him a pass on that. You 509 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.239 know. So you know because when coach D's last year he was gonna transfer, 510 00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:50.559 Coach Tucker came in. They talked and it was a good fit for 511 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.440 him and it was the best decision for him. I don't like this. 512 00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:59.119 If you're leaving, take your ass out the dough You're not he put the 513 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:04.039 little twangoing if you're not, like, how are you going to be in 514 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.760 the locker room Like, I'm not gonna really accept you. Wait a minute, 515 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.079 hold on, they can't. They went out and got Sam Hartman though 516 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:15.360 from wake Forest over his head. But you know that, you know that's 517 00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:21.039 a possibility. But I'm to have it both ways. You can leave, 518 00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:27.880 So you're saying that, I look at this as more for from the Notre 519 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.639 Dame perspective, like they would what are they gonna lose? They're saying that, 520 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.920 Okay, go ahead, but if not, you can come back and 521 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.440 be our solid number two in case Sam Hartman gets hurt. I mean, 522 00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.320 that's what they're saying. The thing is that straight. The thing is this 523 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.280 all right? You do win a workouts? What something you do off season? 524 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.519 You go you got blood, sweat and tears and everything like that, 525 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.639 you go through the upstowns and everything, and that person saying, no, 526 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.119 I'm gonna leave to see if something, if the grass is green, are 527 00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.440 out there, but if it's not, I'll come back to you guys, 528 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.119 Like, how do you take that? A quarterback that says, hey, 529 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.079 guys, I would love to be here. They just got somebody. I'm 530 00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.440 just saying, this is what it is. This is a quarterback I'm talking 531 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:14.320 about in the locker room. And we we're in the Notre Dame locker room 532 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.519 right now, and they brought in Sam Hartman from Wake Forest, who is 533 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:21.960 clearly the number one guy that's we're coming out of the spring right now. 534 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:24.639 And then this is your boy over here that's saying, hey, look man, 535 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.880 I'm gonna test it because you know there's there's roomors out there. People 536 00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.960 like Alabama need a quarterback, right and Tommy Reese, who just left Notre 537 00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.760 Dame, is down there. So so so what are you saying. You're 538 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.760 telling me you're gonna be pissed at him. You're gonna be pissed off at 539 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.360 this guy because actually, go play somewhere versus no, no, no, 540 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:51.400 I will not be mad at him for leaving. I am not mad at 541 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.760 him for leaving. But I don't want to be second fiddle. I don't 542 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:58.119 want It's like you dating a girl and she's saying, you know, I 543 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.719 like you, but let me go see if there's someone back out there for 544 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:02.760 me. And if I don't find anyone better, I'm gonna come back to 545 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.639 you. No, you ain't coming back to me. He's a backup already. 546 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.920 This is just like saying, Okay, that's signed chick took. That's 547 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.239 what he's saying. He ain't gonna be the starter that's if if you and 548 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.840 I started, you're starting running that and somebody comes in. You bought out 549 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.920 st you started the past year, but there's some instances where you may have 550 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:31.440 been struggling. They're gonna bring somebody else in. And they paid him that 551 00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:36.400 bag and they got to play him. What are you doing you. I 552 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.519 am not saying he can't leave. It's saying leave, just leave, just 553 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:46.000 go go, don't don't want to come back. It's what I'm saying for 554 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:52.519 a quarterback. I mean, no way, no way, man, no 555 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:58.480 way, no way. How can you get that good? If he's that 556 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:05.559 good, he's gonna find somewhere else. That's what he's testing the waters for. 557 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:09.119 So you you would accept the teammate back as a backup if he tried 558 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:15.599 to go out there anything, and if he back that left as a backup 559 00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.960 because he has been recruited over and it's clear that he's not the starter. 560 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.000 No, not not in the least, not in the least. But I 561 00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:28.079 can get it into business, is what I'm saying. Like he used to 562 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.559 be when we played. Man, I'm saying no, I'm saying he can 563 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.239 leave. I want him to leave, But I'm just saying the door's not 564 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:38.519 open to come back. But that ain't the ways played. Just like when 565 00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:43.440 we're just talking about ankins in the NBA, you can test the water's different 566 00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.920 the way seventh you can go into the league. That's different. That's going 567 00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:52.840 to the league. He's going to another team, and he's like, you 568 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.599 don't want to shut it down. It's over with. So you can go 569 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.119 to that. You can utilize a guy because he got a recruited over his 570 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:04.719 head. It's his fault. Now, Okay, I don't know. I 571 00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:10.760 mean, I digress, digress, what you accept Nate carter Back. No, 572 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.760 he wants to leave gone, we can go. I don't get it. 573 00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:22.719 Well, man, look a little baseball. Let's gotta gotta celebrate with 574 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:28.400 quick wins.

And that's the only what offensive lineman we'll do. So let's bring 606 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:52.840 on wald Lake's finest. Spencer Brown joins, this is Sparta.

But they 608 00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:07.920 used to old lineman Now and right man, hey man, you're celebrating that 609 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:13.960 you heard somebody right there. I've seen the swipe, the double swipe pushed 610 00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.280 down to put your body weight on him and he never got up. Man, 611 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:24.400 talk about that play right there. What's played peaceball that's against Pittsburgh. 612 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:31.360 Yeah yeah, Man, first of all, awesome game. We came back 613 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:36.800 dream team that that team. Man, we definitely had a lot of guys 614 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:42.920 on the field. Came back, counter helped us kind of put a big 615 00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:45.840 one up for us. Uh Speed, Speeds was working and j Ree was 616 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:51.800 working, but it was down the stretch. I think it was an extra 617 00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:54.519 point conversion. I think Speed's called the extra point conversion to put this up 618 00:46:55.119 --> 00:47:00.519 two or one. But man and I got beat the play before, so 619 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:07.639 really I was just out there, just out there playing. Man definitely was 620 00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:13.559 talking smack back and forth all game, Dog all game, was spe talking 621 00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.719 all game. Man. But man, swipe his hands down. I think 622 00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:20.679 I just called him at the right time, you see what I'm saying. 623 00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.400 Caught his hands down and let him have it, man, You know what 624 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.559 I mean, Let him have it. Man. We just spights talking. 625 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.079 Then we up. Then my boy, my boy Holiday took it back to 626 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:35.400 the crib. Man. So I was in there, man, So we 627 00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.360 wepins. We we learned a little bit of a lingo language from Coach Cap 628 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.400 was like, you know from when we were playing, like it was like 629 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:45.360 I'm sure we was growing up. It was all about pancakes, pancakes, 630 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.960 pancakes, right, you saw I hop and just a little plug, you 631 00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:53.559 know, some syrup pancakes. But he said he calls those things takedowns, 632 00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:58.280 right, Yeah, like knockdown. It's a knockdown to take that knockdowns, 633 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.920 knockdown saying God, same thing, but you still call it what you referenced, 634 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:06.280 Like, what do you reference as pcake? Man, I'm trying to 635 00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:12.440 dump somebody, flush, flush all that, catch your body like all that, 636 00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.719 man. But I mean normally, I mean them players just naturally happen 637 00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.719 straight know what time it is, man, I mean, you ain't gonna 638 00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:22.440 be able to do that the play, but if you catch somebody and just 639 00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.159 throw out the play, they just naturally happened. You really can't look for 640 00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:29.119 them, just like boxing, you really can't look for a knockout. You 641 00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.280 just you bought your way in today, you know what I mean. But 642 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:40.239 definitely got to capitalize on all them opportunities. Spencer, you know you talked 643 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.440 a little bit about that Pit game and you said that the Dream Team, 644 00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:46.960 you know, you mentioned there what's the difference from that team and last year's 645 00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:52.480 team. We had pros though, Man, we have pros everywhere. Man, 646 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:57.880 I mean we got pros on this team. But I mean obviously we 647 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:01.320 hit the We hit the uh we hit the genie in the bottle man with 648 00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:12.320 Ken that year, I mean awesome player. We had Connor Hayward, speed, 649 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:17.239 speed, Naylor Man. That b line was sweet too. Jacob Pannas 650 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:22.000 super was sweet, Drew Beasley, Drew Jordan. We had a lot of 651 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.800 a lot of older dudes up front. Man linebackers was cool. Oh, 652 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:30.519 Crowch was hard. Crowch was hard. Shout the cross cross was hard. 653 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:34.920 Caws five. We had a lot of dudes that team, man, But 654 00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.559 I feel like we was we was cool, A lot of older dudes on 655 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:43.320 the upfront to Kevin Jarvis j carried two pros. I mean, we had 656 00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:45.440 we had a squad man, we had a squad across the board. Matt 657 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:52.159 Allen good leader, coaches everybody. Just by the end though this Uh, 658 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.559 I wouldn't say talent. I would say we're probably more talented. This year 659 00:49:57.639 --> 00:49:59.960 team was more talented, you know what I mean? But I just feel 660 00:49:59.960 --> 00:50:02.000 like we execution, you know what I mean, we just got to do 661 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:05.519 a bad job of execute. But the players, I mean, I would 662 00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.079 say it's a talent drop off, you know what I mean. It's just 663 00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:13.360 a little bit more senior leadership we had on that team. And that happens 664 00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.400 to every program. It's a lot of seniors league, you know what I 665 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:23.840 mean. But execution probably the difference spence. So, so you you started 666 00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:30.000 off well like Northern, some Northern, then you went to Western, right, 667 00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.719 Okay, all right, so then but so you came in spring of 668 00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.960 nineteen, and you're a guy that's seen a lot, right, we talked 669 00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:45.960 about this a little bit offline. You're a guy who came in early and 670 00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:49.480 roly, which was kind of new then it was kind of getting more regular 671 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:53.880 at that time. But you have a coaching change from coach d Over to 672 00:50:53.920 --> 00:51:01.239 mel Tucker. Then you have COVID, Then you have tunnels shooting. You've 673 00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:06.360 seen a thing, a lot of things, man, for a guy, 674 00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:09.320 young man, it is this is your fifth year, right, uh, 675 00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:13.440 this is my fourth year, but fifth of coming up coming up right, 676 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:17.119 which you could technically have a six year because of COVID. Like, you've 677 00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:21.360 seen a lot of things, man. Like we talk about like your journey 678 00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.039 at Michigan State coming from wald Lag, you know, the basketball focus and 679 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:30.199 then now looking where you've come to right now as a starting right tack on 680 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.880 the big ten. Oh man, I'm blessed. It's crazy because you talk 681 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.480 about all that northern I mean, you know you've been out there. They 682 00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:43.320 don't have no guys that they sit in the school. So when I was 683 00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:49.519 there, when me and my brother was there, man like it was new 684 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:54.400 dog. It was new Man definitely. Man, it was new because they 685 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:58.199 didn't have I wouldn't say they wouldn't have no kids like us. Definitely. 686 00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:01.320 It's not a lot of blacks and school. It might have been like two 687 00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:07.159 other dudes besides me, I got short. But other than that, man, 688 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:13.360 it was new. They wasn't really used to that I was playing JV. 689 00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:15.639 But I know I was supposed to be on varsity like I was. 690 00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:21.039 I was just getting played around with out there. Like especially as far as 691 00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:25.480 recruitment too, it was kind of ain't really didn't believe in it because they 692 00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:29.800 never seen it. And a lot of the kids, I mean, it 693 00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:34.559 was nobody that went to be one. So I took a chance for myself, 694 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:37.760 went to Walleck Western. They had a lot of a lot of talent 695 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.159 that was coming out there, Cody, a lot of a lot of a 696 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:44.840 lot of good coaches and mentors, and I'm cool with to this day. 697 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:47.719 I took that risk and went out there, and then the rest is history 698 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:52.840 for real. But when you talk about like my career, I barely been 699 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.159 playing alignment like a lot of guys, I think that I played line in 700 00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:00.000 my whole life. I never really played like I didn't want to play line, 701 00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:01.079 you know what I mean. I'm the type of guy we wanted to 702 00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:07.760 man. I want to celebrate touchdown or make the tackles, celebrate do something. 703 00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.760 I didn't really find no pleasure in being the alignment. I ain't played 704 00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:16.239 alignment until like my junior year high school. But like my first two years, 705 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:21.039 I was playing like wide receiver tighted in NBN. But I was warning 706 00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:22.880 like two forty my freshman year, you know what I mean. I hooped 707 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:28.039 my whole life in high school, playing all the circus to be the circuit, 708 00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:36.000 Nike the circuit. A lot of my guys NBA guys, or playing 709 00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:38.800 D one, hooping two dog. So it was blessing to do that all 710 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:44.679 of the quarter, like, but there was somebody just told me, like, 711 00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:46.599 man, you can make a lot of money playing a line I didn't 712 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:51.679 want to. I don't want to play it though. Man, I definitely 713 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:55.280 didn't want to play it, just because I ain't find no joy in it. 714 00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:59.960 But like I just took the risk and listen to my mentors and my 715 00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:05.920 coaches and everything. The rest is history. Man. So you're you're you 716 00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:07.400 know, you didn't want to play it. Now you're playing, You're having 717 00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:13.199 a success playing at Like what is that joy that you find in it now? 718 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:21.239 Uh? Winning team first? Just just just winning games and buyding with 719 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:27.400 my brothers after the games. Really and just really when you say an accomplishment, 720 00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.559 because like where I'm from, like it's not a lot of people still 721 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:36.000 still playing or still playing at this level. So sometimes we always want more, 722 00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:38.280 Like like I remember sitting on the bench and I wanted to travel, 723 00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:43.360 then I wanted to play. Then I want to play more than I want 724 00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:45.159 to start, So just to scene where I come from, and then why 725 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.320 I meant, nah, it's crazy, but we're still working, man. 726 00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.960 So I don't really know how to feel. Really, I can't really look 727 00:54:53.960 --> 00:55:00.000 at the scoreboard because I mean, it's still a lot more to be done, 728 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:06.559 but man, really just winning Doug winning, there's nothing like playing as 729 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:10.000 far as stadium back to even going to high school and I was at Wall 730 00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:15.679 like Northern, like them goods. Probably they thought it was crazy about say 731 00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:19.280 I was going to go D one, But I remember I went up when 732 00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:22.440 I was all ignored. My mom we was driving up to school to Okay. 733 00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.559 It was like for the Michigan game, and She's like, man, 734 00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:28.960 I wish you you can go up to school, go up to states, 735 00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:31.360 Like don't wait. That kind of always been my goal. Like I had 736 00:55:31.559 --> 00:55:37.400 like thirty offers, but I always I wanted to go in and shoe just 737 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.320 because like I want to be in state. Hero got a tag on me. 738 00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:45.360 But I just set the goal. That's why I want to go. 739 00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:51.679 When I did it, so to me, it's priceless, you know what 740 00:55:51.800 --> 00:55:55.719 I mean. Yeah, Spence, talk about you had the pleasure of because 741 00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.159 D recruiting you right on. You know, I'm talking about your first coach 742 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:06.039 D encounter.

But 748 00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:31.559 Doug, I mean, especially as the kid is different. Now you see 749 00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:35.960 what I'm saying, Like when you were a kid and you get recruited, 750 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:37.639 you've seen this dudes like man, like this is dude. They be seeing 751 00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:43.320 on TV this dude. And we said at the games, he's famous in 752 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.280 Michigan. He's famous in the country him and is doing that thing. And 753 00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:52.039 at that time it was winning. I mean, he had that stretch, 754 00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:57.000 Rose Bowl, Big Ten Championship Bowl games. They had a good stretch. 755 00:56:57.079 --> 00:57:00.760 So man, it was kind of like me, Jordan, for me, 756 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:07.400 you know what I mean, Like because I mean, dog man straight, 757 00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:12.239 you've been out there.

But like if you're 825 01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:27.440 a guy you trying to look what's best for you and then you want to 826 01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:30.159 come back, you know what I mean? I mean Ben Ben Sumer did 827 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.480 it. I mean, look where he is Now, that was my guy, 828 01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:36.800 that's my roommate, you know what I mean, And my guys hated 829 01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:42.679 it even but I give you a pass to because it was a different coaching 830 01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.239 staff too, I don't you know what I mean. So that was cool, 831 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.559 Chucker, But I mean he could a good John Tucker. Don't want 832 01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.880 to lose no time, man, And that's really what it is. I 833 01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.039 mean, if you can help the team, you could come and stay, 834 01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:58.400 you know what I mean. But if you were cancer and you a problem 835 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:00.199 and the guys don't want you, I feel like it's the guys, if 836 01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:06.880 the guys don't accept you, you know what I mean. Yes, that 837 01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:10.679 very eloquently because clearly it's two sides of that. Like he also stumped you 838 01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:19.119 because then, I mean he did it was low key though. I mean 839 01:03:19.639 --> 01:03:22.400 I would say what I would do. I mean, I mean, I 840 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:25.679 mean, but that's not here, that's everywhere, man, it's the it's 841 01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:30.000 the mini NFL or I get it. I get it. I get it. 842 01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:32.719 But if I you know, if I'm a business owner and an employee 843 01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:38.360 wants to leave, I'm not going to take him back. I know that 844 01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:43.840 is not a fair. But he's saying off street code, loyalty definitely, 845 01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:49.360 Yeah, you on a different thing street, so your your boss can be 846 01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:52.400 on a different street call than you know, I'm saying he can leave like 847 01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:59.280 we're going back into the We're not. If you want to transfer and make 848 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:03.239 what's best for I respect that right. Well, Look, I think everyone 849 01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.920 wants to know, like this spring, what did you what was the positives 850 01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:13.239 coming out of spring ball for for the offensive line and specifically before the squad, 851 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:15.199 and what do you you know, what do you need to think you 852 01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:19.079 need to work on an off season to get us back to that that peachbol 853 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:23.360 squad, like you got the talent, but getting us to like winning those 854 01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.280 games we know we should win, but also competing the ones that we need 855 01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:31.239 to compete with. Man, it's a lot, Man, we got a 856 01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:36.079 lot of young dudes out there flying around, and I think I think, 857 01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:41.039 I think our team is gonna be special. Uh defensively, defensive line, 858 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:45.199 it's a lot of activity up front. I can't wait to get some guys 859 01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:50.039 back. Linebacker room like one of strongest rooms on the program. It's not 860 01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:56.360 the conference for real. In my opinion, running backs, we're gonna be 861 01:04:56.360 --> 01:05:00.119 ready to running back. I love the running back room. I think, 862 01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:12.519 stop he run running backroom pops to you.

I mean you got to just get him a crease and 867 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:34.599 he ready. And that's the thing with all our backs, Jared Jared smooth. 868 01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:38.199 You know what you're getting out of him every time you run the ball. 869 01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:41.960 Physical, gonna put his head down.
