1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,440 Just tot now for our Big twelve breakdown, I'll look around it to be 2 00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:11,599 a Big twelve conference where we break down the latest happenings in this league, 3 00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:19,320 and we begin each and every week with our hot days and Tom, we're 4 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,239 gonna plited discuss even with no Big twelve games going on this upcoming week, 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,920 but now that we have a number of ways to go with it. Whether 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,240 you want to talk coaching, James Wise, branch Reportalum, you know the 7 00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:41,880 Bowld situations, whatever it may be, Tom, the floor is yours. 8 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,439 I'll begin with you. Where are you gonna go to hot take? Wise 9 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,880 to Big twelveth game. I'm gonna go to hot take where I know at 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:57,640 the best. And if you listen to all seasons, you'd probably say, 11 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:03,280 well, Tom's probably gonna still water and you're pretty spun on. We know 12 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:08,200 that Spencer Sanders is not returning to this Oklahoma State Cowboys team. We know 13 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,000 that Tracey Ford probably I don't know, maybe the best defensive player on the 14 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:21,599 team. Um, you know you could you could throw around some different options 15 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,480 on off on the defensive side of the ball. H He has also entered 16 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,760 the transfer portal. You can look to some sort of what's happening in still 17 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:37,439 Water scandal when you talk about the younger Pressley brother. Braylon Pressley also entered 18 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,439 the transferring portal. You can you know there's there's several Oshue players entering the 19 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,959 transfer portal, um, but none other brought the attention to national media, 20 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,200 like Spencer Sanders saying, Hey, I'm dipping out Jones hot take hot take 21 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,400 a lot of people and still or I think I wanted Kay McNamara he ends 22 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,239 up going to Iowa. UM, you know you can. You can do 23 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,240 dj from Clemson. You could you could want that, or you could say 24 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,080 something like that. Um for dj Uno La La Laya or however you pronounced 25 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:24,520 his last name, I call him dj You um come to Stillwater hot take 26 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,360 care and it might not be too much of a hot take. I'm not 27 00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:36,560 going big this week. I'm saying Hutskin Hudson card coming to Payne County, 28 00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:43,560 coming to Stillwater, Oklahoma, Hudson card Texas Longhorns played great when Quinn yours 29 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:49,319 was you know, out and out and done for um, you know, 30 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,800 did what he needed to do. I like Hutskin Hudson card. In the 31 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,879 next two weeks to say he's come to Stillwater, Oklahoma. Well, you 32 00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:04,000 you must have been watching college football now by chat sports, where I listened 33 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:10,199 Hudson Cards number one destination as Oploma State before Spencer Sanders entered the portal. 34 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:16,159 So with that, yeah, I think Hudson Card's gonna still Water when it 35 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,800 salt said and done. But my hot take, I'll stick with the Cowboys 36 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,000 as well, Tom, And I'll say this. They lost so much and 37 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,280 we've heard a lot over the last couple of days of how much Mike Gunde 38 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,960 lost that locker room and lost the respect of those in the locker room, 39 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,759 and that you know, Casey Dunn wasn't doing a good job, that Derek 40 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:46,360 Mason wasn't doing a good job. I think next year is maker break for 41 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:52,639 Mike Gundee. You cannot have this happen again. You can't have another seven 42 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,479 win season and half your roster walk out the door. That's not acceptable, 43 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:06,199 not acceptable. Mike Gundee has to go back into the portal and go get 44 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,520 more talent. And they got to win more football games next year. Oklahoma 45 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,240 States got great facilities, they got a bright future in the Big Twelve Conference 46 00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:23,079 as one of the flagship teams of the entire league now going forward. Um, 47 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,120 but they can't say it will be content. This is a team that 48 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000 needs to be contented for conference titles every year. Seven wins should not be 49 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,360 acceptable. Um, you know they they I think it's this puts the pressure 50 00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:42,399 on man. I wish Taboon Pickings was still around for a lot of reasons. 51 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,680 But if t Boon was around, they have already hung Casey done. 52 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,759 Outside of the stadium. Te Boon would have loved the n I L era 53 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,959 and he would not have settled for what's going on in Stillwater right now. 54 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,600 Yeah, Casey Dunn's got to be done. And you know, to be 55 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,160 honest, that I think what hurts Oshu the most. I think that's why 56 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,839 Braylon Pressley's gone. I think that's you know, well, Dominic Richardson, 57 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,639 one of the running backs, is also hitting the trans reportal. But a 58 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,120 lot of people are like, oh, well he can hit the trans reportal 59 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:19,920 and that's you know, it's it's not it's it's not that the playing time 60 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,560 and YadA yada's being thrown around. Well, in terms of the running backs, 61 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Dominic Richardson's gone. He was a great running back but Ali Gordon. 62 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,439 We saw what all the good Gordon could do, and Dominic Richardson was going 63 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,000 to take a back seat. Um, the defense worries me more. And 64 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:46,240 also it came out that and I didn't notice either. M Derek Mason was 65 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,720 only on a one year contract, so it'll be interesting to see what he 66 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,959 wants to do. His name got thrown around for Arizona State and a couple 67 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,519 other jobs. I think even Stanford he got thrown around and that head coaching 68 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,519 job. But we'll see what they do to extend him. But Jones, 69 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,240 you know what, even even um the president of the university, doctor Shrum, 70 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:15,839 her husband even got into a little Twitter trouble. M in the Mason 71 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,439 Cobb thing. You know, you know if if you watched Big twelve and 72 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,639 you know who Mason Cobb is lyne back for Oklahoma State. He entered the 73 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,480 trans reportal he was like one of the first alb when it was the fall. 74 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,959 But there was a little background info on on Texas A and m essentially 75 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:40,800 saying hey, let's throw some money at you and literally paid him to leave 76 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000 OSU. So it hasn't been formally announced, but everybody in the Big twelve 77 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:53,519 expects Mason Cobb to go to A and m Um. So you know, 78 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,680 not only do you lose players because hey, you're not throwing around money or 79 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,439 Mike Gundy has lost the locker room. Um, you're also losing players to 80 00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:10,360 other former Big twelve schools that are willing to throw money. So it's it's 81 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:15,399 a weird time. Jones and n c W a Um with the nil going 82 00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:23,480 on to see how schools build up their NL NIL program. Um, they're 83 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,959 they're doing right now at ls who pokes with a purpose, trying to get 84 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,879 fans to throw in five dollars a month to to you know, maybe even 85 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:38,680 booster you know, it's essentially boosters. It's like the rather give money though 86 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:46,560 tom uh de kay us nil collective than I would do their uh you know, 87 00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,360 to the endowment, going back to the students whatever. I mean, 88 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,560 Yeah, I wouldn't pay anything. I'd pay five dollars a month to fire 89 00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:01,040 case he done. See, if I'm gonna throw money back in the school, 90 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,360 I'm buying players. I'm not wasting my time giving money to endowment. 91 00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:13,399 Yeah that's fair too, But yeah, I mean, Oklahoma State's in big 92 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,879 turmoil right now. Things are in trouble with Mike Gunday that Oklahoma state program 93 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:26,120 for sure on that front. Also on on the portal, something to look 94 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:31,399 at there staying within the same state in Oklahoma, Owe You and Brent Vinibles, 95 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,519 they've done a really good job. They've already had some nice pickups in 96 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,960 the portal. They haven't lost a whole lot, They've made some positive gains. 97 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:45,399 We know that they got a great recruiting class coming in and similar to 98 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,480 what I sit with OSU, but different circumstances for Owe You here. We 99 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,000 know that Brent Vinibles in his year in Norman so far, Tom, He's 100 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,639 proven the guy can recruit. He's a good salesman. I mean he brings 101 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,600 in He's brought in some good high school talent now some good kids in the 102 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,120 transfer portal. He's a good salesman. But is he a good head coach? 103 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,759 I don't know in this what the what this has done with the system 104 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,960 where it's at now, you have eighty five scholarships that you can use in 105 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:20,440 any way you want any year right now, where you can bring in as 106 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,679 many transfer portal and as many high school players as you want, as long 107 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:31,279 as you're you Catho at eighty five. Brent's done a good job finding talent, 108 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,399 no question, but pressures on a Norman. Now, Brent vnibles M. 109 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,320 I think next year, realistically anything less than ten wins. So that 110 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:45,759 Oklahoma team is a failure. And that's an indictment directly of Brent Vnibals. 111 00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:54,879 Now, I mean, I can't say you're lying. Yeah, I can't. 112 00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:56,799 I mean, I can't say you're wrong. I mean, you know, 113 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,320 to be fair Jones, A lot of though you fans expected that this 114 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,639 year, which was you know that that should have never been expected, but 115 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:13,919 you don't terrible timing for preventables of of his hiring and trying to recruit. 116 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,720 There was no way he could have put together a good roster last year. 117 00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:22,080 But excuse I mean, this year was for a lot of OU fans. 118 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,440 They haven't seen this about a year since the nineties. A lot of OU 119 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,519 fans have never seen this because edn't been born. But you know, a 120 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360 lot of this year was copium, but I like, I love to call 121 00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:39,720 it copium. You know, he dealt with Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley leaving 122 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:46,399 and the roster being gutted, and then you had just copium of Dylan Gabriel 123 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,320 being the second coming of fucking Sam Bradford, which was never gonna happen. 124 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,919 But you call it copium for a reason, you know. But you're absolutely 125 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,600 right now yere on his belt. Bret Ventibles has to get together. He's 126 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:09,399 got two recruits, he's brought in some people. Anything less than ten wins 127 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,200 is the disappointment. I think anything less than eight or really, you gotta 128 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,519 win nine. You gotta win nine if you lose. If you win eight 129 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:28,120 or less, then is the grounds for an firing. I don't know. 130 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,039 It depends really who's available. Yeah, I see we're going with that. 131 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,240 Moving on for the transfer portal one coaching change in the Big twelve, and 132 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:46,159 this still sounds even weird to say. In the Big Twelve, Cincinnati hires 133 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Scott Saderfield from Louisville to be their new head coach for placing Luke Fickle. 134 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,240 We talked to him last week's show, Tom that it was a huge loss 135 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,360 for Cincinnati and for the new Big twelve to lose Luke Fickle, who is 136 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:05,559 probably one of the top ten fifteen coaches in America to Wisconsin, that Cincinnati 137 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,320 would let him go like that, but to replace him with Scott Saderfield. 138 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:16,159 Saderfield hasn't done shit at Louisville. He hasn't done anything there. I mean 139 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,120 has he been bad. I mean he hasn't necessarily been bad, but he 140 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,200 hasn't been good either. He's just been mediocre, been average. Sure he 141 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,080 knows how to recruit the area, and he's been in the Power five at 142 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:33,159 Louisville. I get all that, But there was a lot of good candidates, 143 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,759 and there was a lot of people interested in that Cincinnati job, and 144 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:46,600 I thought Saderfield was closer to getting fired than getting another Power five job Cincinnati. 145 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,000 You just went to the playoff a year ago. You had a golden 146 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:56,879 opportunity to build off of the success that was there from Luke Fickle, and 147 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,679 personally, I think they blew it. I'd give this this hiring at f 148 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:07,840 toom. Who would you have gotten um right there within their own staff. 149 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,080 I may have just promoted Mike Trussell, their DC, the nephew of Jim 150 00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:18,120 Trussell. Um. Yeah, you know, that'd been not bad. That'd 151 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,720 probably been better. I think even a trade. I think even bringing in 152 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,840 Jim Leonard from Wisconsin would have been better. You know, I wouldn't argue 153 00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:33,720 with that either. Um, even delon I think if they would offer I 154 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:37,720 don't know. I don't know if don would have if they would have offered 155 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,720 more money. Okay, here's a question. Also, I also heard rumors 156 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:50,799 for Colorado to the Big twelve today. Yeah, Um, if Cincinnati offered 157 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,799 more money to d O than Colorado, you think he's taken Colorado over Cincinnati. 158 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,159 No, Cincinnati's an easier place to win than Colorado. I don't know. 159 00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:05,679 Do you want record recreational weed or do you want Skyline Chili's. Yeah, 160 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,639 you probably don't want both either. That might not mix. Well, 161 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,200 Yeah, I don't know if I I don't know if i'd eat high Skyline 162 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,279 chili. Yeah, that sounds like a vomit inducing Yeah that's not bad on 163 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,600 the stomach. Yeah, especially like an edible before that. Yeah, that 164 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,559 would have been good. Yeah. Man, I couldn't even imagine. Yeah, 165 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,799 goodness. But I nott Cincinnati blew this. I hated that higher. 166 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,879 Well maybe it's Sanderfield proves me wrong. We'll see. But I thought it 167 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,600 was a mistake and they're gonna regret it, and I think that's gonna set 168 00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:50,679 that program back. But to this, um that's Cincinnati program. Tom you 169 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,759 know, everybody thought they missed it when they hired Tommy Tubberville. Tommy Tuberville 170 00:14:54,799 --> 00:15:01,039 still won average like seven wins a year. I mean they might have, 171 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:09,879 you know, just Scoots the pooch hiring Centerville here, but I mean the 172 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,000 way that program's going and the way things to stabilize, I mean, they 173 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,519 could still be even a seven win team potentially with the wrong guy in charge. 174 00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:24,639 Like part of what Cincinnati has done a good job of is the resources 175 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,840 around that program have made it good even when they haven't made the right higher 176 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,519 I mean, yeah, I mean going to the Big Twelve, I think 177 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:41,679 they'll get players that they normally wouldn't have, you know, And I'm very 178 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,000 interested to see, you know, I think the first year will tell us 179 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,519 a lot, you know, and I think they'll benefit obviously from coming to 180 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,440 the Big twelve. And I'm very excited to see the Cincinnati team, see 181 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:03,240 what they can do and see what type of kind of competitiveness that they're gonna 182 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:08,120 bring to the Big twelve like they have. You know, It's this is 183 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:12,600 not like Tulsa coming to the Big twelve. Like since you know, I'm 184 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:17,600 not saying that. I'm not saying that lightly in terms of like, Okay, 185 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:22,519 you guys didn't already know that, Um, you know, like Cincinnati 186 00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:27,519 can be a good team. I mean, look at I see them, 187 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:33,919 kind of like I see TCU right coming into the Big Twelve. You know, 188 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,919 had some success. Obviously, TCU before they came into the Big twelve, 189 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:45,440 you know, had you're Andy Dalton in crew and had that recent success 190 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,039 and then came into the Big twelve and then did struggle some seasons. But 191 00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,080 I mean, damn it, look at TCU. They're in the fucking playoff 192 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,960 m you know, as as the Power five team and went essentially undefeated until 193 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,559 they met a very strong, resilient Case State team that took him over time 194 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:11,039 to get it done in the Big Twelve championship. So I'm not saying in 195 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,200 five years that I couldn't see Cincinnati had that same success or you know, 196 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,680 if it's not five years, give it ten years. Or if it's not 197 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,519 even ten'll give it, give it. You know, maybe we see 198 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,519 that in four you know, Um, that's not out of the question. 199 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,279 It's it's the wrong higher. Um, if they keep fickle, I think 200 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:37,400 they have a shot to make the Big Teltaba game in their very first year. 201 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:42,200 Not now, I think that that's that's a pipe dream at this point. 202 00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:48,119 Do you blame Luke Fickle? Do I blame Luke Fickle for leaving UM? 203 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,640 Why would you want to go to the Big ten and be the number 204 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,920 three program behind Ohio State in Michigan when you can dominate with I think Cincinnati, 205 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,559 it could be the best, to be right up there among the best 206 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,759 of the best of the Big twelve every year, that's true. How much 207 00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:08,720 money? How much money? Though? What's the money differential? He got 208 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,279 a pretty good good cut of the pie at Wisconsin. I don't know if 209 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:18,960 since he so, he's chasing the bag. I think that's what it is. 210 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,279 That's what I think. So he's in Colorado. Let's bring that up 211 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:25,920 real quick, and then we'll talk about TCU in the playoff and all this 212 00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:33,440 um with Colorado. Our buddy friend of the show, Tim Brando, has 213 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:41,039 been going around the last couple of days and he suggesting that Dion is gonna 214 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:45,640 bring Colorado back home to the Big twelve. We've heard rumblings for the last 215 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,680 couple months that Arizona wants to go to the Big Twelve. But they want 216 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:56,240 they need somebody to go with them to make said move. Um best. 217 00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:57,880 One of the things I wanted to d On it at Cincinnati. I would 218 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:03,039 have loved to see Dan on the league. If Dion and Colorado come to 219 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:11,240 the Big twelve primetime in the Big Twelve, that Colorado program, I think 220 00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:15,480 Deon's gonna start winning pretty fast at Colorado too. Yeah, that would be 221 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,079 That'd be electric. So I mean, even if Dion wasn't that Colorado, 222 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:25,039 I'd want Colorado in the league. You had Deonto it, watch out, 223 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,039 he would be the face of the league pretty fast. I think. Yeah, 224 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,920 I'm scared of that as just as a Big twelve. Oh as you 225 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:37,319 fan a little scared of that just be you know, being in Boulder. 226 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:45,240 That's a big party school, not to mention the recreational marijuana, which should 227 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,599 be on the ballot and is going to be on the ballot for the people's 228 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,519 vote in Oklahoma. So maybe we compete with them, but damn it, 229 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,240 man, I don't know if you're a party in Boulder, but it's a 230 00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:57,519 hell of a lot of fun. And if you could play for a coach 231 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,160 like Dion, Freaking's Sanders, then why not. Uh, you know, 232 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,240 he's he's he's the type of coach that you know. I heard a lot 233 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,400 of stuff happening in Jackson State, Um, a lot of scandal stuff that 234 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:17,240 I think is gonna come out soon. Um, but damn if if if 235 00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:22,000 you know Colorado, you've you've heard the reports of, uh, well we 236 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:25,200 don't have the money yet, but we're gonna have the money. Um, 237 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,799 well worth it. Um. You know for a team that shit the bed 238 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,240 so hard this season has been you know, back to the cupcake team, 239 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:41,559 they have shades of they have shades of uh Baylor prer Briles and then the 240 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,359 turnaround as much as our brows as a piece of shit. But um, 241 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,799 same turnaround I could see happening, um without the scandal. Um, I 242 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,079 mean Colorado could be. Colorado could go from worse to first real quick. 243 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:06,960 And and you know we also heard Bret your Marks say this past week that 244 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:14,559 they want to tap into the Pacific time zone Colorado Mountain time Zone school. 245 00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:18,759 We take them anyway, but the Big twelve is not done yet. We 246 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,960 heard your Marks say they're open for business. And you got a couple of 247 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:29,680 Eastern time zone schools. Now you got three in Cincinnati, West Virginia and 248 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:36,400 UCF. You get all your Central time zone schools, you got one Mountain 249 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,519 time zone school and BYU. But if you can get a couple more mountain 250 00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:45,519 and get into the Pacific. And I know Gonzaga has been heavily rumored and 251 00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:52,400 there's been discussions as of lakes, the floodgates are about to open. I 252 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:56,880 know that we've been talking about this for months on end, but something's got 253 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,519 to break eventually. I don't know if it's Colorado. I don't know if 254 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,240 it's Gonzaga. I don't know if it's one of the four corner schools, 255 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:08,839 whatever it may be. There's too much momentum, too much positive things head 256 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,880 in this league's direction, the new TV deal and all this, that the 257 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,680 fruits of their labor is not going to pay off with something here sooner rather 258 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,200 than later at your time. I don't know what it is. I don't 259 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,400 know if it's Colorado, Gonzaga or whatever it may be, but something's gonna 260 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,599 happen. Yeah, you know, if Colorado drops and comes, or you 261 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,200 know, maybe they've packaged the deal with Arizona. I mean, a deck 262 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,119 could very easily be the first Domino, the first real Domino to fall. 263 00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:44,599 Even getting Gonzaga at this point, I think it would be a big wind. 264 00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:47,519 Yeah. Can you imagine the basketball? I mean, the basketball is 265 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,119 already on the real ride now. I mean, what you know, is 266 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:59,240 it pains me to say gotlie? It hurts me. Last week, every 267 00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:06,880 Big twelve team in college basketball besides freaking Oklahoma State obviously got votes for the 268 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,160 Top twenty five. It's the best. I mean at this point, anybody 269 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,079 that tells you that the Big Twelve is not the best basketball league is lying 270 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:21,799 to you, is biased, is lying to you. It's it's unbelievably competitive. 271 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,599 It is absolutely the fucking English Premier League of college basketball, and no 272 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,720 one's even getting close. Um. You know, the Big Twelve stands to 273 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,519 put, you know, as many as they can put in every single year 274 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:42,359 into the Big Dance, and in this year you could easily put I'm calling 275 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,119 eight. Yeah. Uh. I don't know if there's enough wins to go 276 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,640 around for everybody to get eights. But there what last year? Last year 277 00:23:53,799 --> 00:24:00,400 was there seven or seven? I mean there's there's quality teams. I just 278 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960 don't know if there's the wins there. But I see where you're going at 279 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:07,519 for sure, real quick, and we have more time over the next couple 280 00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,400 of weeks to break down the College Football Playoff and TCU in depth and all 281 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,240 that we'll get. We'll do that more of the next couple of weeks, 282 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,759 but just kind of, you know, looking at this point here, TCU 283 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,400 is in. They're the three seed, and we're gonna talk more about this 284 00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:26,599 with Riley Gates too here just a moment, but Tom, I think this 285 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:33,359 all worked out pretty good. TCU loses a close game in overtime and they 286 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,960 weren't punished for it. Case Day gets their first Big twelve title in ten 287 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,200 years. They've finished off the year strong. We get a great game. 288 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,920 The ratings were incredible. Ten million people watched on Saturday afternoon to see that 289 00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:59,599 game, and you know, TCU is still a okay. It also defeats 290 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400 the NA narrative too, that if you're not Oklahoma or Texas you have to 291 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,440 go undefeated and make the FWELF. Well, they lost one game, they 292 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,920 still made it in with them. The best case scenario would have been if 293 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,200 TCU would have you know, won and just had no controversy whatsoever, you 294 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:21,319 know, But but they didn't so the next best thing I think worked out 295 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,799 pretty dang well. TCU gets in even with one loss. They lose a 296 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,359 close game. Now they get to regroup, they get to see what they 297 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,960 did wrong, go fix those flaws. When you lose, your weaknesses are 298 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,240 exposed. You have a chance to get better off. That This could actually 299 00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:45,359 work out pretty nicely for TCU here. I mean yeah, And you know, 300 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:51,119 TCU I think is very competitive, and they have a high flying offense. 301 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:55,559 You know, they get you know what, three Hill, they get 302 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,200 a month to figure it out, and they know their opponent, Um, 303 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,839 you know, Sunny Dikes has has been you know, incredible for them. 304 00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:10,200 So uh, you know, TCU should be rewarded for that. And they 305 00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:15,039 were and and you know, I think the rest of the what we call 306 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:22,599 the Hateful eight are rooting for the hitting note toad baby. And I'll say 307 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,839 this though, Um, TCU did deserve to lose Saturday. When you don't 308 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,119 go forward at the end of the game in the fourth quarter, when you 309 00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,799 choose to play for overtime, I mean that that right there, that's that's 310 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:47,400 some pushy shit. And then in overtime when they didn't call a quarterback sneak 311 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,200 on either one of those goal line plays. That was just stupid. Um. 312 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:59,000 I hated that last year at the end of that game. But hopefully 313 00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:02,759 they learned from it and they get better. I think that people could be 314 00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,799 overlooking this TCU team against Michigan. I can tell you this. I'm not 315 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,200 picking TCU to win, but I think TCU is going to be more competitive 316 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:18,559 than people realize here for sure. I mean they're not. You know, 317 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,119 I mean KSE State that you know, the way they beat KSE State in 318 00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:29,559 the regular season, the way they beat them. They were down by what 319 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:33,960 like seventeen, Yeah, came back to win by ten. Yeah. I 320 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:37,160 mean in heard the quarterback in YadA, YadA, YadA. This this was 321 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,200 already written in the in the stones, you know, for KSE State to 322 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,480 to to pull this off. H this is written in the sky. And 323 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:51,559 and so you know, case State gets what they want, they you know, 324 00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,960 you know KSE State Gali what they lost to TCU. They lost to 325 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:03,839 two Lane, which actually didn't end up looking terrible. Um, considering all 326 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,759 things, the way the two Lane had their season, and then they lose 327 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:15,119 two to Texas. Oh yeah, I mean overall, you know, if 328 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,279 a couple of things go k State's way. We're talking about the Purple Cats 329 00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:25,920 in the playoff right so well, and that's the other thing too, Like 330 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:32,960 TCU in KSE State, obviously k State's just as good as TCU. They 331 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:36,160 won, you know, they won the Big Twelve title. This new playoff, 332 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,839 that TCU team, that KSE State team that got off to a rough 333 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:45,000 start. Now they come in with momentum and they're the Big Twelve champs and 334 00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:47,880 they get a seat at the table and let's see them figure it out. 335 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,720 That new playoff comes in where it helps out teams, uh like KSE State 336 00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:56,319 who may have started out slow, but now they got it figured out. 337 00:28:56,519 --> 00:29:00,920 Now they reforced be wriking with I mean, if if you threw KSE State 338 00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:07,279 in the fourteen playoff this year, I think they would get have just as 339 00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:12,920 good a chance against Michigan as TCU does. And you know, freaking watch 340 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,759 out, Nick Saban, like you know if if k State upset, well, 341 00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:26,720 I don't you know that's that's another interesting part is case State beating Bama. 342 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:32,680 Is that how big of an upset is that? UM Bama's got a 343 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,079 lot of opt outs already. UM and Deuce Vaughan has already said he's playing 344 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:42,279 for KSE State. So in a regular season game, yeah, that would 345 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:48,480 be an upset, But I don't think with the circumstance. You know, 346 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,119 Bowl games are not what they use. I think in terms of a program 347 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,279 win, that's pretty still freaking huge. It'd be one of the biggest wins 348 00:29:56,319 --> 00:30:00,519 in KSE State history. And they can pull it off. And I'm not 349 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,799 gonna be shocked as they do. No, I'm not either. I'm not 350 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,680 gonna I can't. I can't wait to see the line. I cannot wait 351 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,079 to see the line. Well, the line, I can tell you what 352 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,759 it is right now. Well, I'm saying, like maybe a week before. 353 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000 I'm sure it's Bama by ten right now. The line right now for 354 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,519 that game, Bama is a three and a half point favor Oh wow, 355 00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:30,960 you know, I'm you know, uh, we'll talk about that when it 356 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,519 gets closer, obviously when we picked that game, but uh, as it 357 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,400 sounds right now, I'm I'm a little homeward, but give me, give 358 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:47,480 me KASE State. Okay, we'll see more on the Big twelve, transfer 359 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:52,119 portal, uh culculable PLAF and more. Riley Gates set to join US next 360 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,720 stay with us. Drug us now on the show this week from on three, 361 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,880 one of their newest contributors covering college football and everything in between. We're 362 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,039 here to talk about the portal and also the college football Playoff. It is 363 00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,759 a Riley Gates who's here with us now. Riley appreciate jonnasped, you're just 364 00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,160 telling me before we started that you were in Dallas, but you didn't get 365 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,319 to see your caps at the Big twel title game. What happened, Ben? 366 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:22,079 Yeah? Yeah, my h one of my friends from college, actually 367 00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:26,680 did a radio show with him in college. He was getting married and he 368 00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:30,359 had me in his wedding and I knew it was the victual championship, but 369 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,799 I didn't really know if it'd be an issue. And then, of course 370 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,720 it did end up being an issue. But I guess that's a good problem 371 00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,839 to have, so to speak. You know, So, did your buddy 372 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,559 not think Case State was gonna be in the title game? I don't even 373 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,240 know if he ever even once thought that it might be the lining up with 374 00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,680 the same day, And I sure don't think anybody was thinking after they lost 375 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,279 in two lane in Week three, that's for sure, what a turnaround, 376 00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:04,720 and that Big Twelve title game delivered ten million people watched and went right down 377 00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:08,559 to the end overtime case State gets it done. And you know, I've 378 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,160 looked at it this way, Riley. Good for KSE State to get to 379 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,480 win and win their first title in ten years, but for TCU, I 380 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:22,640 was so glad the committee got it right that they still we're not punished for 381 00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:25,440 losing that championship game, going to overtime, holding the same spot they held 382 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,079 before for a loss. I think that worked out pretty well as good as 383 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:35,359 it could have for all parties involved here. Yeah, you know, and 384 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,759 I think I mean, I was pretty skeptical that they would still get in 385 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,519 with the loss, just because of the way that the Big Twelve usually gets 386 00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:45,680 treated. But I think that with the type of fight that TCU showed and 387 00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:49,559 the type of season that they had, like, I think it was gonna 388 00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:52,000 be really tough to leave him out. I think probably the only way they 389 00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:54,640 were getting left out was you know, like a twenty point Kase State win 390 00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:57,960 or something like that. And honestly, looks like we were headed there for 391 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,480 a little bit with how the game was unfolding, and then of course they 392 00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:05,039 did what they did all season, long fought back, made it a game 393 00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:07,680 late even over time. It was a heck of a game. And I 394 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,079 would have been real disappointed if they would have been left out, not just 395 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,680 because it would have meant that Alabama was like I didn't really care for Alabama 396 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:20,279 or not. It was just, you know, a two loss team that 397 00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:24,359 didn't play for the conference championship versus a team that just suffered their first loss 398 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,960 in the conference championship. Right, Yeah, that's well said, and you 399 00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:35,519 know, you look at it, and I keep hearing people say, well, 400 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,759 talent wise, Alabama was one of the four best teams. Vegas probably 401 00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:45,079 thinks so too, But of the sample size we have, Alabama lost their 402 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:51,319 two biggest games, and you know, TCU dominated Texas compared to Alabama, 403 00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,200 who's quick buy. So I mean you could you could say, sure, 404 00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,839 I think you could say Riley that Alabama on papers one of the four best 405 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:02,079 teams, but when they had a chance to prove it, they didn't. 406 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,160 Yeah, you know, and I think that that has to account for something, 407 00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:09,599 especially considering the teams that they lost to. I mean, Tennessee was 408 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:13,679 a really great team all season long, but then obviously they go and just 409 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,079 get drugged by South Carolina. That kind of ended their season, and LSU 410 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,559 looked like they were possibly gonna make a run at the SEC championship and then 411 00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:25,320 they get beat handily by Texas A and M in the last week and then 412 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,239 they just get run over in the SEC title game and saw it. I 413 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,960 mean, while Alabama still has the best players, and frankly, let's just 414 00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:37,400 hypothetically say they were in like I really could see a world where they win 415 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,719 the national championship, Like that's that's kind of the world we're living with Alabama. 416 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:49,079 But I think leaving them out was the right move. And I'm really 417 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:53,000 glad that they didn't just get the well their Obama treatment and get one of 418 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,519 those spots, because I don't think that would have been right. Yeah. 419 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,480 And uh, this TCU team I saw last year with Georgia that they lost 420 00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:07,039 the SEC tattle game, bounce back and put two incredible performances in the playoff. 421 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:12,199 Do you think TCU is capable of responding well to this loss that they 422 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,519 suffered a case stay here in these playoff games or you think they're gonna be 423 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:21,039 overmatched by a Michigan team or facing potentially Georgia Ohio State in the championship. 424 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,719 Um, I think that's kind of tough. I think, first off, 425 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,239 like we have to find out like how they're gonna respond. Obviously, this 426 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,679 is a team that hasn't lost a game all season, Like I was saying, 427 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,559 they were a team that always battled back and always found a way to 428 00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:37,559 win. So we don't know what this team does after they lose a game. 429 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,519 So that's that's really big. But also on the other hand, on 430 00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:46,480 the other side of things, like I think Michigan's a really really great team 431 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,079 full of a lot of great talent, probably better talent than TCU has. 432 00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:55,199 And so if they struggle and if they get if they get throttled by Michigan, 433 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,639 like is it because they lost and they got thrown off their their path 434 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,440 or whereas it because Michigan is just that much better? Like, I think 435 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,519 it's kind of a tough a tough question to answer one side or the other, 436 00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:08,920 because I really could make a case for both. I think I would 437 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,519 still pick Michigan in this game. I think what they did to Ohio State 438 00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:19,119 kind of shows the elite talent that they have, but I don't think they 439 00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:22,280 mean that. It would probably be a mental aspect of losing a case State 440 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,760 because this is a really good team that had a great season and frankly was 441 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,280 one inch away from winning the Big dual championship, right yeah, and a 442 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,760 team they already beat earlier in the season on top of that as well. 443 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,440 So Riley with that, looking at the College Football Playoff, of the four 444 00:36:40,519 --> 00:36:45,559 teams that are in, what do you make of these semifinal matchups here? 445 00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:50,000 What stands out to you in these two games? I mean, the biggest 446 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,880 storyline is going to be defense in the College Football Playoff. That's that's what 447 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000 it's going to come down to. Ohio State. Sure they have the explosive 448 00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:59,719 offense and it's it's a lot of fun to watch them go, but can 449 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,920 they do it against Georgia. They couldn't do it against Michigan. And I 450 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,320 think Georgia has a better defense than Michigan, and so you know, how's 451 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,320 that going to shake out? And then I think that the TCU Michigan Michigan 452 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:16,000 game is completely about defense. This is two defensive minded teams also to run, 453 00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:20,199 two teams that focus on the running game. If you're a better I 454 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,280 would probably lean to the under in that game. Because it's going to be 455 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,960 a lot of defense and a lot of running the ball, so that clock 456 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:31,639 is probably going to be ticking very fast. Um it's it's more intriguing than 457 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,119 what we've had recently, like last year with Alabama and Cincinnati. Yes, 458 00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:38,639 Cincinnati was the feel good story, but they were never gonna they were never 459 00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:42,719 gonna beat Alabama, they were never gonna make a run. I really could 460 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,480 see a world and where probably three of these teams win the playoffs. I 461 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:52,360 don't think TCU can win the playoffs. Like it's a great story. I'm 462 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,280 kind of pulling for him as a big twelve guy, but I just don't 463 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,519 think that they have what it takes to win two games here in this playoff. 464 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,280 Obviously you would favor Georgia. I think Georgia's the the cream of the 465 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,360 crop of this playoff. But I don't think that this People just think this 466 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,480 is the same Georgia from last season. It is not like, yes, 467 00:38:09,559 --> 00:38:14,519 it's a great defense, but it's not anywhere near what they had last season. 468 00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:16,679 Like it's just they do not have the I think it was four first 469 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,880 rounded NFL draft picks last year. They don't have that on this defense. 470 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,199 So they're very successfulal to be being beaten in this in the semi final game, 471 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,239 I think, or even in the championship game. So the thing with 472 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,320 Ohio State is that while they obviously struggle to put a good defense on the 473 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,239 field, you saw Michigan just pick them apart. Even without Blake Koram, 474 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:44,159 Ohio State can get you into a running gun, shootout type of game. 475 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,599 And so it'll be very interesting to see which side kind of comes in stronger 476 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:52,320 there. Yeah, for sure, it's gonna be very interesting. And you 477 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,840 mentioned, you know, Georgia great team, not as good as they were 478 00:38:54,960 --> 00:39:00,480 last year, but with them in Michigan balls, we've seen them play close 479 00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:05,480 at times. I think about that that Michigan Illinois game for example, the 480 00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:08,159 week before the Ohio State game, where that game was probably closer than it 481 00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:12,639 should have been. Or Georgia against Missouri, or some of these teams. 482 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,239 I mean, just in human nature, you can't play your best every single 483 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,559 week. But the difference I look at in this playoff Riley, if those 484 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,639 if Georgia plays let's say like they did against Missouri, or if Michigan plays 485 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,559 like they did against Illinois, that's not good enough. You're you're gonna lose 486 00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:31,199 here. I mean these teams, yes, they are better, I think 487 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,960 than their opponents, but I mean, you can't win with a C plus 488 00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:40,559 performance here, correct, And I think that that's I think I don't really 489 00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:45,199 fear that with this Georgia team because while they had a lot of performances like 490 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,440 that at times, you know, Kirby Smarts an excellent coach, and and 491 00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,960 they have the edge here that these other teams don't have. They know what 492 00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:57,320 it takes to win two games. And when the National Championship obviously, the 493 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,440 House State's been here before, a little bit different situation considering um, you 494 00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:06,079 know, kind of the overturn of players and coaches and everything like that. 495 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,480 But Georgia literally just did this last year, and they did it. Frankly, 496 00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:15,159 I think Georgia beating Alabama last season is more impressive than Georgia beating any 497 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,519 team in this year's field for the National Championship. And so they know what 498 00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:22,480 it takes, they know how hard it is, um and and that's kind 499 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,880 of why they have that edge. So you definitely could get a performance like 500 00:40:27,039 --> 00:40:30,960 you were mentioning, those those kind of letdown games. But I think that 501 00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:34,119 Kirby smart will have his guys ready, They'll have his guys focused, and 502 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,760 they know, like when the when the lights come on, when it's a 503 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,880 big game, they really need to step up to the occasion. Here, 504 00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:45,039 let's let's shift gears and moved to the transfer portal now, Riley, I'm 505 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:51,480 on on free every day, Uh, checking this out. And you know, 506 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,519 I know you've you've covered recruiting for a long time and this is just 507 00:40:55,679 --> 00:41:00,599 bunkers. This takes. This is recruiting nothing compared to what we're seeing right 508 00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:05,599 now. I mean just every day something's going on. Uh. You know, 509 00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:07,840 very good players entering the portal. Used to be in the past, 510 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:13,079 if you transferred, you know, there was probably a coaching change or you 511 00:41:13,159 --> 00:41:16,360 were a backup, you weren't getting enough playing time. Now we're seeing quality 512 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,199 starters on good teams enter the portal here. I mean, these are chaotic 513 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,320 times that we've never seen in this sport before. Yeah, and it's it's 514 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,480 not a hand I mean, it really is. And I know that it's 515 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,760 it's good for kids, I get it, But I mean we're the portal 516 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,760 has been open since Monday and we're at over a thousand kids in it already. 517 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:42,039 I mean, it's just crazy what we're looking at here in terms of 518 00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:44,920 kids just popping in the portal every day. Like I literally, as we 519 00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:47,880 record this, I have a I have a column on my tweet deck just 520 00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:52,400 with transfer portal, and there's kids popping into it every every ten minutes. 521 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,760 It feels like, um, look, I mean we've been having this conversation, 522 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,800 you and me and other radio shows that go on, whatever is the 523 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,559 transfer portal good for college athletics? Like, and I give you the same 524 00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:08,840 answer every time. It's good if it's used the right way. It's good 525 00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:15,719 that kids have the opportunity to perhaps step down a level if they maybe kind 526 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,239 of overshot their skis a little bit going into the Power five level out of 527 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,639 high school. But for the most part, man, this is just it's 528 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,719 crazy to try and see a home for every single kid, and that's what 529 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,280 every single kid get thinks they're gonna get. There's plenty of guys that will 530 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,079 go from Power five to Power five. There's plenty of guys that'll find a 531 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,119 maybe a slightly lower level Division one home. But there's also a lot of 532 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:44,800 guys, you know, two star lineman, three star cornerbacks that they'll be 533 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,920 at a KSE State or a KU or a Texas Tech and they'll transfer and 534 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,400 they'll have nowhere to go and they'll end up at you know, Utah Valley 535 00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:54,880 or something like that, and just to pick in a random school out of 536 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,360 the hat there, and it's just it's tough because there's really no way that 537 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,920 you can kind of corral it. There's no way that you can straighten it 538 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,960 out. I do not envy being a college coach right now having to deal 539 00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:12,639 with preparing for games, recruiting high school kids and oh yeah, you have 540 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,000 to rerecruit your entire team while also managing your roster and going into the portal 541 00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:21,400 to find needs that that's your team needs going in the next season. So 542 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,119 college coaches get paid an insane amount of money and it still doesn't feel like 543 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,639 enough with all the hoops they got to jump through in this process. Well, 544 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,519 and with this year's rules. Grec if I'm wrong here, but I 545 00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:37,440 believe no matter what whatever it takes to get there, you're allowed to add. 546 00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:40,880 You know, you go up to eighty five scholarship players to bring in 547 00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:46,199 this year through recruiting or through the portal. Either way to get to that 548 00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:51,639 that even number. And so with that's said, with knowing you can completely 549 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,519 flip your roster this year, I mean, the pressure should be as high 550 00:43:55,519 --> 00:44:00,119 as ever on these coaches, Riley, because you can, you should be 551 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:06,079 able to rebuild pretty fast. There's no excuse not to find the players you 552 00:44:06,199 --> 00:44:09,559 need here pretty quickly. Yeah, I mean, it's it's definitely a great 553 00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:13,400 tool for that. I mean, I let's look at Case State again just 554 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,039 because it's one that we kind of know very well. While Will Howard was 555 00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:20,119 kind of the guy that led them to the Big Twelve championship down the end 556 00:44:20,159 --> 00:44:23,320 of the season, they're not in that position without Adrian Martinez and getting him 557 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,880 out of Nebraska. Now, Adrian didn't end up being exactly what a lot 558 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,519 of people thought he was going to be or what he looked like he was 559 00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:32,440 gonna be at the start of the season. Like he he definitely did not 560 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,800 meet expectation in terms of the passing game. But he put them in that 561 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,960 position by you know, giving him some some solid non con wins early, 562 00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:47,039 going down to Oklahoma and putting on an amazing performance. So you can easily 563 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:53,159 fill holes that you need right away and it's it's great for schools, especially 564 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,519 with new coaches. I think of Matt Rule at Nebraska now, who he's 565 00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:00,559 going into a situation where he has to rebuild, but he's not gonna get 566 00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:04,119 four to five years to rebuild it. They're gonna want to see results, 567 00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:06,639 and they're gonna want to see him right away, So he's gonna have to 568 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,719 attack the portal. He's gonna have to get some really talented players out of 569 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,719 that and give him a new spark. So I think that that's huge for 570 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,000 a guy like him. Heck, we've seen it with k State basketball too, 571 00:45:16,119 --> 00:45:21,119 and not just football it. Jerome Tang has a very competitive seven and 572 00:45:21,199 --> 00:45:23,079 one or eight and one team right now, and it's mainly portal guys. 573 00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:29,440 So for every one situation where we can criticize the transfer portal and say it's 574 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,039 it's not good and kids are taking advantage of it in the wrong way, 575 00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:36,880 there's there's a lot of good that it does bring. So that's why it's 576 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,400 kind of one of those situations where you're gonna go back and forth. You're 577 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:45,000 never really gonna have a strong opinion one way or the other that holds holds 578 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,760 to be more true it just comes down to how much you're willing to tolerate. 579 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:54,280 I guess of the portal getting bigger and bigger. Some big schools, 580 00:45:54,480 --> 00:46:00,079 uh, some power programs have taken some hits negatively from the portal so far. 581 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,760 Obviously they can potentially rebound and replace them with other guys, but for 582 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,960 me so far, Riley Oklahoma State, Texas saying him and Alabama, I 583 00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:13,800 mean, the hits just keep on common. They're losing some quality starters those 584 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:19,000 schools. Well, yeah, I think the interesting one was Spencer Sanders leaving 585 00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:22,639 Oklahoma State. That was one that I don't want to say it was completely 586 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:27,440 unpredictable because it definitely makes sense that he I mean, he's just been dinged 587 00:46:27,519 --> 00:46:30,760 up and he's kind of been struggling as of late a little bit, but 588 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,920 he kind of seemed like an Oklahoma State lifer, and Mike Ndy doesn't really 589 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,519 feel like a guy that's gonna lose a starting quarterback to the portal, especially 590 00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:42,920 when it doesn't really it's not like they have this this star waiting in the 591 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,119 wings, so to speak. So that that one definitely caught me off guard 592 00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:49,320 a little bit. And yeah, you know, I just think that There's 593 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,400 been some some very big names that hit the portal, guys that, honestly, 594 00:46:54,559 --> 00:46:58,039 two months ago you probably would have never seen it go that way. 595 00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:01,880 Heck, for until tonight, Drake May at North Carolina was rumored to be 596 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:07,440 one of the biggest guys possibly going in. Now he has since come out 597 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,239 and said he's not entering the portal. But it just kind of goes to 598 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,840 show you, like, how how uncertain this is right now with all the 599 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,559 coaching changes happening, and oh, I want to go play for my old 600 00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:21,039 coach here at his new school, so I'm gonna hit the portal even though 601 00:47:21,159 --> 00:47:27,000 I have a really good situation here. And it's also getting to the point 602 00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:30,559 where guys are transferring in conference, which is absolutely wild to see because they 603 00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:35,519 could be playing for Oklahoma one season and then be playing for West Virginia the 604 00:47:35,639 --> 00:47:37,559 next season. It's kind of crazy. Speaking of West Virginia, like JT 605 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,079 Daniels, he's off to play for his fourth school in five years. I 606 00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:45,719 think, like that's just crazy. I mean, he's Ryan Fitzpatrick college football, 607 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:51,119 the first journeyman of the sport, and we're gonna tell our grandkids of 608 00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:53,159 all the schools that J. C. Daniels played for so I'm interested to 609 00:47:53,199 --> 00:47:57,320 see where he ends up because I think he really struggled this season at West 610 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,960 Virginia. But yeah, I mean it's it's a mat house. That's just 611 00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:02,920 kind of all I can say about it. And um, until that window 612 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,039 closes, it's not gonna calm down anytime soon. That's uh, that's something 613 00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:12,800 else with those guys, uh going in and we mentioned, you know, 614 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,039 just how much you can flip a roster here. Uh, you know, 615 00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:20,639 I go back to what Dion Sanders his uh, his speech to his team 616 00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:22,559 a couple of days ago. I think they got kind of taken out of 617 00:48:22,639 --> 00:48:25,760 context a bit, uh, you know what what he was saying. But 618 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,239 at the end of the day, you know the message that I think he 619 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,719 was trying to deliver, and that really I think resonates around the rest of 620 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,000 college football generally. You better just be ready to compete if if you're gonna 621 00:48:38,039 --> 00:48:43,639 stay, I mean, you better build the work hard otherwise they can replace 622 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,880 you pretty fast. I think that's what he was trying to say. And 623 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,679 that's what's gonna go on in Colorado really everywhere. Yeah. Well, and 624 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,039 it's it's because it's Dion, and it's because he's non giving people a fair 625 00:48:54,159 --> 00:48:58,960 chance quote unquote. That's kind of what everybody thinks, and I get it. 626 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,079 I understand kind of a little bit of the complaints, but let's be 627 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:07,440 real, that's that's why Dion's had successes because he's not afraid to tell people 628 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,400 they're not good enough. He's not afraid to kind of put them in their 629 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:14,039 place, and he knows that. Look, there's a reason that Colorado fired 630 00:49:14,119 --> 00:49:17,960 Carl Doyle after just two seasons, like he doesn't have talented players on that 631 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239 team. So I had and then a video did come out today like he 632 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,239 was talking to his team a little more privately and he's like, you guys 633 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:30,599 are competitors, like you'll you're going to compete for spots. You're not Twitters 634 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,239 things like that. So it definitely got taken out of context. But that's 635 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,639 just kind of the Internet world we live in now, where we love to 636 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:43,239 jump to a conclusion and let a video go viral on Twitter. But that's 637 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,000 another instance where I think we're about to see crazy turnaround, and probably very 638 00:49:47,039 --> 00:49:51,840 fast thanks to both recruiting and the portal. Everybody wants to go play for 639 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,760 coach prime and now you can do it at the power five level. It's 640 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:58,239 crazy. Yeah, yeah, certainly is. I know we'll have a little 641 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,519 bit of tout left. I ask you, what are the top layers you're 642 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,440 you like so far that are in the portal and what are some possible destinations 643 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,079 for some of these guys? You think, Oh, man, that's a 644 00:50:10,199 --> 00:50:14,519 that's a really good question. I do think that. Uh. I mean, 645 00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:16,400 I mentioned J. C. Daniels just because he's the one that's kind 646 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:21,000 of sticking out on the top of my head right now. He's he's obviously 647 00:50:21,079 --> 00:50:23,440 one of the most popular guys right now in terms of where he's gonna land. 648 00:50:23,559 --> 00:50:28,920 That's really intriguing to me because you know, he's kind of been in 649 00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:31,199 in all the all the various conferences so far, and he's got a little 650 00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:36,760 bit taste everything. But he he got benched at West Virginia late in this 651 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,519 season, so I'm not really sure that he's gonna be a hot commodity right 652 00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:44,320 now. Um. So to speak like, I just don't think that a 653 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,159 bunch of people are gonna be falling over their head over heels for to go 654 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,880 and land him. So, um, I think it'll be interesting to see 655 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,599 where he lands, but probably not a move that's going to exactly light up 656 00:50:55,679 --> 00:51:00,079 college football. It's not really gonna draw bunch of headlines. I guess where 657 00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:06,280 he ends up. There was one tonight Mississippi State had a running back, 658 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,360 Dylan Johnson, and the portal is very funny that he he called out Mike 659 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:14,360 Leach as he was going. He says, Mike Leaches is happy that I'm 660 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,119 in the transfer portals. Now, everybody's kind of interesting where he lands. 661 00:51:17,159 --> 00:51:21,360 But the biggest one right now, did it did come out today? Um 662 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,800 Storm Ducks leaving North Carolina the cornerback m just as he's a solid player, 663 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,960 m you know, and he's he's pretty well known in the ACC. He's 664 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,199 probably gonna be one of those guys that that ends up getting a lot of 665 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,360 big offers. Um. So it'll be kind of fun to follow which which 666 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,800 school is jumping on him. And and there's even been some lower level guys 667 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,079 d two guys that are are drawn the eyes of Power five teams everywhere. 668 00:51:45,199 --> 00:51:51,679 So it's just as crazy as to watch how many are jumping into the portal, 669 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,920 it's equally as crazy to watch who's recruiting them out of the portal and 670 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:59,000 where they might end up well. And I mean, I look at it 671 00:51:59,079 --> 00:52:02,079 this one, Riley, it's go eat or get eaten. You know what 672 00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:06,599 I mean. Like if if you're going to be successful in today's college football, 673 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,119 you gotta embrace this thing. You gotta go get the best players you 674 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:15,199 can. And uh, you know it can't be something where you're not interested 675 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,239 in try to focus on the traditional high school recruiting route. I mean, 676 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,519 because you're gonna fall behind pretty fast. And we saw Texas A and M. 677 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,480 They brought in an old time high school recruiting class and how many those 678 00:52:25,519 --> 00:52:30,480 guys are going and it did not work at all. And so it just 679 00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:34,199 goes to show you that maybe sometimes the people on paper are not exactly the 680 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,280 ones that translate to success right away. Yeah right, I know you gotta 681 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,480 run telp it where they can find you. Check out all the stuff on 682 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,239 on three. I believe that there's a big deal going on in there for 683 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,960 sign up, so people can check out with with on three. Great time 684 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,760 to sign up, I met. Yeah, man, it's uh, we're 685 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,480 always turning out in terms of the national team, We're always turning out content 686 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,119 left and right. I mean, it's just kind of crazy how fast our 687 00:53:00,159 --> 00:53:02,880 writers go um and us in the editorial room are kind of trying to keep 688 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,079 up. So the national team's always pumping out great stuff. Um. And 689 00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:13,239 then if you're a fan of a specific team, there's there's a specific offers 690 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,719 for your team on all the various sites. Uh. It does very um 691 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:21,320 but depending which one you're looking at. There was a one dollar for a 692 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,480 year right now it's ten dollars um until the start of football season. So 693 00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:28,960 if you're looking for looking for your team on on three, we can definitely 694 00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:30,400 get you set up there and it's not going to cost you a lot of 695 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:35,880 money to stay locked in on on recruiting transfer portal. Nil. It's a 696 00:53:36,159 --> 00:53:38,599 it's a great site that we got going and really excited about the product that 697 00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:43,239 we're continuing to build. And it's clean to read. It's not messy like 698 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,519 some of those others. You know, it's very all right there. I 699 00:53:45,679 --> 00:53:49,199 love the layout, it's great content. Riley and Company doing a great job. 700 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,320 Riley, thanks you the tot man.
