1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,400 It is the Big Twelve Breakdown. Tyler John here with you with a look 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:10,199 around the Big twelve conference this week with some of the top headlines, and 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,079 we'll preview the week ahead and as we begin each and every week on the 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:24,120 Big Twelve Breakdown, I want to give you our Big Twelve hot takes this 5 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:30,399 week, and I got to tell you my hot take. I've been on 6 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,560 this team all year, much to my chagrin. This is how you know, 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,079 folks, that we keep it real here, that I tell you what 8 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,799 you need to hear, not what you want to hear on this program. 9 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Because I am saying this begrudgingly. I do not like to admit this, 10 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,000 but as you know, I've been very high on the Texas Longhorns since before 11 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,959 before the season began. I have said it time and time again that I 12 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,079 thought Texas was going to be back this year, that they were going to 13 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:19,680 be a playoff team, that Texas was going to be back to who they're 14 00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:26,239 supposed to be. Right and now you have this test against Oklahoma this week 15 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:34,040 and where Texas is at, the way that they're playing and everything. Not 16 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,359 only do I believe Texas is back, I don't even want to say this, 17 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:47,480 but I have no choice to say it. I think Texas is the 18 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,519 best team of the country at the moment. I went and saw them play 19 00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:57,480 last week against Kansas, and Texas did not play their best. Okay, 20 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:06,640 Texas played a B minus or B game, and that's the nature of the 21 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,479 business. You know, you're not gonna play your best every week. It's 22 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,159 just not within human nature to do. So. You know, they let 23 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:20,199 Kansas hang around with a backup quarterback with Jason Bean and everything, and yet 24 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,879 they still found a way to win forty to fourteen, and they finished in 25 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:31,439 the fourth quarter. And that's what championship teams do, is they finish the 26 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,400 games in crunch time. They do what they need to do. And that's 27 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,479 what Texas did this week. That team is down and Sarka is doing a 28 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:46,360 great job. They are the best team in the country right now. You 29 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,479 know, I look at at Georgia, the two tied defending champs, and 30 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,759 this is a Georgia team that's got some quarterback problems. Carson Beck doesn't look 31 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,159 that great right now. You know, Michigan is very good in their own 32 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:12,439 right, usc their defense is just trash. You know, Washington looks really 33 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,639 good, but who if they played just yet, I feel like we still 34 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,560 have more to learn about them, but they look well. The case I 35 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,759 would make for Texas is it's not just the talent and the quarterback play and 36 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,439 the defense, but they've won the big games. You had a dominating top 37 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:36,560 twenty five win over Kansas last week where you pulled away in the second half, 38 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,520 and what they did against Alabama. They are the best team in the 39 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,840 country at this moment. Now things are fluid, that could change, but 40 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,879 Texas is the best team in the country. They are the team to beat 41 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,759 heading into red River this week. So there's my hot take for this week. 42 00:03:55,479 --> 00:04:00,159 Texas is the best team in college football. But that's it. Uh 43 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960 That rolls us into our Pig twelve preview for this week, breaking down these 44 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,319 games one by one. Oh you in Texas. It feels so weird when 45 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:16,959 we're talking about red River and looking at these two teams, this Oklahoma team 46 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:26,120 credit where credits do? I think that Oklahoma is ranked too low right now 47 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:34,000 at twelve. I think that is a after effect and after shock of the 48 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,199 disappointment of last year, where these voters can't get last year out of their 49 00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:45,199 head. Instead of focusing on this year. If you look at this year, 50 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,759 Oklahoma's done everything that's been after them. They've covered in every game. 51 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:55,560 They're five and zero. What's been the biggest complaint about Oklahoma football, Daniel 52 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,199 Back and Lincoln Riyland and everything, It's been about the defense, right and 53 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,959 Oklahoma's The defense is legit, which I did not expect. I didn't see 54 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:06,240 that coming. Prinvitables has come in done an incredible job with that defense. 55 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,920 They are carrying that Ou team through that defense. The offense is inconsistent, 56 00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:17,279 but the defenses is coming through for that Oklahoma team. To me, if 57 00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:21,720 Oklahoma's going to have a shot in this game against Texas, the defense is 58 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,720 going to need to continue that. But the offense is going to need to 59 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:29,959 do its part in the offense trying to keep up with this Texas team. 60 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,279 That is going to be a challenge ahead as far as that goes. And 61 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,360 I think if you're Oklahoma, you know, you don't want to get embarrassed 62 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,959 like you did last week last year, you know, losing forty nine to 63 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,480 nothing. But I do think Oklahoma is overmatched in this case, and it 64 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,480 might not be the last time these two teams face there's a very very good 65 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,160 chance that they'll be back Linton for the victual title game at the end of 66 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,160 the regular season, you know, as they expect to face again. So 67 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,160 if you don't get him now, you might have another shot later this year 68 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,160 to get the job done. So what what Dylan Gabriel is gonna show up 69 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,800 to? Yeah, if Dylan Gabriel can go pound for pound with quinn Ewrs, 70 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,360 if that Oklahoma offense can go toe to toe with that Texas offense, 71 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,360 we get a ball game here. But as much as I like Dylan Gabriel, 72 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:34,800 I think he's a good quarterback. I think he's better than what he's 73 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:41,199 giving credit for. I don't know if their offense can show up, they're 74 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:46,000 gonna go toe to toe with Texas or not. So watch out. Let's 75 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,560 see how this game goes. You know, Texas is gonna score thirty? 76 00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:55,959 Can Oklahoma match him? Whereas Texas gonna you know, put this game to 77 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,360 bed here. I leaning towards Texas, but but it's it's right River, 78 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:05,399 It's always gonna be a great game. You know, you gotta get here's 79 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,959 diff you go in the Red River. You gotta go get your corny dog 80 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,879 in the morning, go drink your cold beer and you get that out of 81 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,519 the way. College game Day is gonna be there. This is the biggest 82 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:21,120 red River game in a long time, first time since twenty eleven. Both 83 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:28,480 teams are undefeated. Headache into red River. Greg sank is gonna be in 84 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,120 the building, the SEC Commissioner, Big twelve Commissioner, Brint you or Mark 85 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:38,759 Well not So that's kind of telling another storyline outside of this game. I 86 00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,480 wonder too, is the sec chant gonna break out? These two fan bases 87 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,399 that just hate each other, you know that are gonna be divided at the 88 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:50,600 fifty yard light and everything? Are they gonna be yeah, you know, 89 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:56,560 united together in the SEC chant. I wonder about that. That's gonna be 90 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,720 something. But watch out Oklahoma. Texas is very good game. I lean 91 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,680 towards Texas. But let's see what Dylan Gabriel and the Sooners can do other 92 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:15,199 games this weekend, OSU take it on k States KSE States to touchdown favorite. 93 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,040 Basically, os u's got some problems. Friend of the Joe Bill Hasten 94 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,759 was saying this week that he does not believe that no matter what happens, 95 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:33,879 Mike Gundy's coming back after this year. Really, I mean, no matter 96 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,360 what happens, Mike Gundy's back, Bill, I love you, but I 97 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,360 think eventually, you know, more schools are going to look at what TCU 98 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,960 did, Gary Patterson, his failures and bringing Sonny and get to the national 99 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,879 championship and be like, you know what, we got to force a change 100 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:01,039 if we have to. If OSU's smart, they got to say goodbye to 101 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,279 Mike if he doesn't get something going here soon, because it looks like the 102 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,440 game is passing bye by Gundy and he has done a great job in the 103 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:18,639 recruiting trail. Either it's it's looking like it's time and in k State they 104 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,399 might just go in there and kick that ass. This game might not be 105 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,039 close. K State's a really good football team. Had a weird loss to 106 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,600 Missou that came down to the wire. They always lose the game they're not 107 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,960 supposed to be in September about every single year. This was that Missoo game. 108 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:41,159 I think K State's gonna be fine, but this might be the end 109 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:43,399 all be all look out for k State to come out perform and play a 110 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:52,039 good football game. Kansas take it out of UCF this week let's see how 111 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,480 kay you responds. And I hate it for what's going on with Jaylen Daniels. 112 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,080 I was talking to a friend of the show, Derek Haglin this week. 113 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:05,200 You know, he came down when we went to this Kansas Texas game 114 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:13,360 together and uh, Jalen Daniels reaggravate, aggravates the back injury and very unfortunate 115 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,879 to see him do that again. And it happened, I guess the morning 116 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,559 of the game, and just a scary situation and you hate to see that 117 00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:35,759 happen again. Derek brought up an interesting point that if Jared, if Travis 118 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:41,320 goff and landslide Polder miss or listening or the KU you know staff, whatever. 119 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:50,600 Here's an idea that Derek brought up that I would highly recommend. If 120 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:56,279 you recall, if you go back to the AFC Championship game, Travis Kelcey 121 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,639 had some back pain and was not not feeling good at all, you know, 122 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:07,320 had some back spasms or whatever. And that happened on the Friday before 123 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,799 the AFC Championship game, and then he played that Sunday and he played really 124 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,639 well. The Chiefs medical staff worked through it and they got him out there 125 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,240 You've had this linger on now for Jaylen Daniels for a couple of weeks and 126 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,960 forced him missed the first game of the year and everything. If I'm Kansas, 127 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,960 call up Rick Burkeholder and the kids see chiefs coaching medical staff. He 128 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,440 like, what did you guys do with Travis? What do you recommend here? 129 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:45,519 You need answers, you need solutions. You know, this Kansas football 130 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,720 program, they've invested a lot of money over the last couple of years for 131 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,120 Lance light Polden company to compete, to play at a high level. Part 132 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,039 of the investment's got to be your medical staff. They got to do their 133 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,039 part. Two got to be searching what can we do to help out our 134 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,960 quarterback. You know, there's some there's some Internet trolls out there, just 135 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,639 some really dumb people that are trying to call date Jalen Daniels soft and all 136 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,080 this. I mean, if he's not feeling right, he's not feeling right. 137 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,159 But they need to find a solution. They need to do this because 138 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,200 the Jason Bean thing, I like being it's not a bad backup quarterback, 139 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,120 but he is a backup quarterback and it's a different team when Jason Bean is 140 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,919 under center. They need Jalen Daniels back there. They need to find a 141 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:39,360 solution of some sorts. With that said, UCF has had a rude awakening 142 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:45,519 the Big Twelve play with two straight losses. Whether Bean plays or Daniel plays, 143 00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,960 you should be able to win that game without Daniels or not. I 144 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,600 expect Kansas to be fine this week. Take win that game against UCF. 145 00:12:52,720 --> 00:13:00,840 It could be close, but Kansas's better team and they're at home. Tech 146 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:07,360 taken on Baylor. Both these teams such a disappointment this year. You have 147 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:13,399 Brett McMurphy was you know, jerking off Texas Tech before the season began, 148 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,039 called them a playoff contender and all this and all the hype trained around Joey 149 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:24,840 McGuire, and I wouldn't call Joey McGuire a fraud, but they have not 150 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,559 done what they're supposed to do this season at all. They have been a 151 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,120 mess. Baylor, I think Dave Randa there ought to be some questions about 152 00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,960 his future. You talking about fraudulent. They were just in the Man twelve 153 00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:45,559 championship two years ago. What's happened since? With Baylor? That has been 154 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,679 a mess. Somebody gets to win this football game. It's almost a disappointment 155 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,919 that somebody gets to win this game, that somebody gets to come out of 156 00:13:56,919 --> 00:14:01,279 this slump of sorts, because both these teams don't deserve to win. Right 157 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,919 now, Tech is a slight favorite. But I'm like, do we really 158 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,600 know and do we feel that confident in Tech or Baylor either one? Which 159 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:18,240 team's getting off the bus? I don't know? And then TCU played in 160 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,480 Iowa State TCU last week, uh loses to West Virginia at home, and 161 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:28,159 I got some thoughts on West Virginia here in just a second. You know 162 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,200 what we're seeing. I know a lot of people pointed Chandler Morris and blaming 163 00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:35,039 him. You know, he's not Max Duggin and he's not Max dugging. 164 00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:43,320 But what we are seeing with TCU is that last year, you know, 165 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,159 everything went right for them to be under you know, undefeated into the victual 166 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,639 title game and to win all those close games like they did. You know, 167 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,679 I heard somebody say that was a team that very easily could have been 168 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,559 eight and four ended up twelve and zero. And this year I think what's 169 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,159 happening is then it's just they're getting the bad luck, you know, the 170 00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:11,000 Colorado game, they very well could have won. The West Virginia game over 171 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,639 the weekend, they very well could have won. And now it's just flipping 172 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:18,519 the other side where they're seeing, Hey, you know, these fifty to 173 00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:24,240 fifty Bowl games aren't always going to go your way like that. Iowa State 174 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:33,399 two and three Matt Campbell reacting to OU fans saying he's on the hot seating 175 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,320 on everything getting pissed about that. How small time is that? Look, 176 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,320 Matt Campbell, you had your players involved in a gambling situation, which is 177 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,960 a big no no in college athletics, really in athletics in general. And 178 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,039 your team sucks. You've taken so many steps back from what you once were. 179 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,320 Got some talent there. That quarterback looked pretty good the other night, 180 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,879 But Matt Campbell's not who he was and he is getting exposed and I don't 181 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:07,000 know if there's any turning back for this IWAST eight team. This is a 182 00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:11,120 good chance to TCU to get back on track and show the world who they 183 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,639 really are. Potentially, one more note before we get to Will Scott here, 184 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,159 I do it to shout out West Virginia, West Virginia mouth, did 185 00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:26,639 Mama take me Home Country Roads. Did anybody think West Virginia was gonna be 186 00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:33,320 in this position? I gotta say credit him, Neil Brown. Nobody has 187 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,279 been calling for Neil Brown's head more than me. I have made that very 188 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:44,519 clear about Neil Brown and that West Virginia need to move on from him. 189 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,840 This was the team that was picked fourteenth in the Big Twelve last year. 190 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,799 Last time I checked the Big twelve and fourteen teams, although that seems to 191 00:16:55,879 --> 00:17:02,759 change by the day, and credit were credits due. West Virginia two to 192 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,799 zero in the league play four and one got some quality wins. I mean, 193 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,079 you lost to Penn State's beginning of the year, which wasn't bad loss, 194 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,680 but you know they held their own. Now you've beaten Pitt, beaten 195 00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:19,599 Tech, you're beating West Virginia, and you look at the schedule the rest 196 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:23,440 of the or you beat a b TCU, Rather you look at the schedule 197 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:27,920 the rest of the way, Houston, os U, U, c f 198 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:38,119 b YU, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, and Baylor. That's manageable. Neil Brown's 199 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:45,200 team might win eight or nine games here, then when seven or more, 200 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:51,519 he's coming back eight or more and they're gonna love you so Neil Brown, 201 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,079 West Virginia. I didn't see this coming. Neil Brown at the moment has 202 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,799 done enough to save that job. We'll see how they finished the year. 203 00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:04,680 But credit where credits? Do you know? I can I can go after 204 00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:08,680 Neil Brown in this show and keep it one hundred, but we can. 205 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,119 We can keep an honest here, and Neil Brown has theerves some credit for 206 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,440 that job he's done because that talent is not up to snuff with some of 207 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,359 the other teams in the Big Twelve, and they have played over their heads 208 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,960 so far this year. They've done a really good job. So credit to 209 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,119 West Virginia. There. Will Scott, that's join us next. Coach bo 210 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,039 is gonna be here later. Also Tom Foolery as well. Stick around as 211 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:40,000 we continue here on the Jones support. Joining us now, it is none 212 00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:45,480 other than Will Scott, the former host of Dolphins Today on Chat Sports doing 213 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:52,160 according to his bios stuff with Max Preps now also going to law school to 214 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,200 become a Willie agent on this next yurt and he joins us now. Will, 215 00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:00,119 it has been a while. You know I want to bring you on 216 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,599 not just to talk shopping everything, but I know there is a lot of 217 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:07,599 people out there that are wondering where is Willie Finns and what he's doing. 218 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,880 So I figured this would be the right place to check in and see how 219 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,640 you're doing. How are you doing, my friend? Well, Tyler, 220 00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:18,200 it's it's good to talk to to a good friend, you know, like 221 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,640 like we said that, uh that night of the epic party, the going 222 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,720 away party we had for me and Doty's, I said, you know, 223 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,359 friends for life, for I met it. So it's good to see you 224 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,640 again. I'm doing fantastic. Man. It is a mid term week over 225 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:41,359 at the ASU Law School. I've had a two many terms in the books. 226 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,599 I got one more tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to to getting that 227 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,279 out of the way and uh get rolling here with fall break. Uh So 228 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:52,839 yeah, I'm doing I'm doing really well man. You know, it's funny. 229 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,880 It's uh, you know a lot of people think that that I'm in 230 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,759 law school and and that is true. But I'm not getting my JD. 231 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,720 Which is nice. I don't have to do three year law track. It 232 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:11,319 is just a one to two year sports law Master's program that I'm in. 233 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:15,039 And I think Arizona State, you know, eight years ago when they made 234 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,480 that program. They were like, you know, all these sports agents go 235 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:23,400 to law school and ninety nine percent of what they learn is not applicable to 236 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:29,720 their career. And they created a sports law and business master's program that is 237 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,440 in the law school. So all my classes are at the law school. 238 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,200 Law student is on my student ID, but I'm not getting my jds. 239 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,960 So yeah, so if you see pictures of me graduation in May, I'm 240 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,440 not that smart. I did not finish law school in one year is a 241 00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:49,519 master's program. So yeah, it's going great. Man. I'm making a 242 00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:53,160 lot of connections, networking a lot, so yeah, it's it's been really 243 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,599 good. I'm doing really well out of here in Arizona. So you will 244 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,200 not be taking the bar exam at this time next year, thank god, 245 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:03,000 No, man, I you know, props to people to do it. 246 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:08,160 I got a lot of friends of mine in the program that are doing both 247 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:11,680 the master's program and getting their JD. I don't know how they're doing it. 248 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,319 I think that's a four year track for them. But no no one 249 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:21,240 else sat for me, no bar no, I that just wasn't for me. 250 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,319 Man. I'd rather be a sports agent and a lawyer, So tell 251 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,000 me this as my boots on the ground in Phoenix. You since you moved 252 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:36,440 out there, have joined Big twelve Country as Arizona State will be entering the 253 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,359 Big twelve next year along with Arizona, Utah and Colorado. What has been 254 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,240 from the folks you've talked to and the reaction of the folks out there out 255 00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:52,119 west in Phoenix in Sun Double Country about the idea of joining the Big twelve 256 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,960 conference next year? That week was pretty wild, man. I mean, 257 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,799 the PAC twelve guede like you know that. And obviously it all started last 258 00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:03,200 year year with USC and UCLA going to the Big Ten and you heard about 259 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,359 Colorado going back to the Big twelve. And from there, I mean, 260 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,119 the dominoes just began to fall. And you know, really from the jump 261 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,359 right after Colorado left, the speculation was that ASU and Arizona were kind of 262 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,960 a package deal and they would go to the Big twelve. So when that 263 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:26,039 news happened, that was not a surprise. I think there's more excitement than 264 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,640 sadness. I think there's more excitement about joining the Big twelve than sadness about 265 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,920 the PAC twelve dying. Obviously that's sad. I mean the PAC twelve is 266 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,599 a historic conference, a prestigious conference has been around for a long time. 267 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,119 So yeah, there's definitely, you know, Sun Devil fans that are sad 268 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480 about the Pac Twelve. But I think for the most part, we're really 269 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,160 excited about the Big Twelve. Especially me is you know, I'm just now 270 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:52,960 starting to care about as U athletics, you know, being able to go 271 00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:59,599 watch the Sun Devils in Texas now against TCU and against your Jayhawks. I've 272 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,119 had Kansas State friends of mine, Tyler already hitting me up. They're saying 273 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,319 they're coming for a game next year if if the Sun Devils are on their 274 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,839 schedule for basketball or football. So it's going to be really good. I 275 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:17,839 think the Big Twelve is going to be a really good conference going forward. 276 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,880 I think in general, conference relocation is terrible for college athletics. I mean, 277 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,759 the really cool thing about my masters program is I'm taking classes and we're 278 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:33,000 talking about that, we're writing papers about that stuff. So it's been interesting 279 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,880 to follow. But yeah, I think I think the Big Twelve makes a 280 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,279 lot of sense for Arizona State. I think the Big Twelve for Arizona and 281 00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:45,880 Arizona State makes far more sense than these Pat twelve schools going to Big ten 282 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,720 because it just makes sense from a from a geographic standpoint. You got the 283 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:55,799 Texas schools not too far away, you got Utah, you got BYU, 284 00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,240 You've got Colorado. So really, the flights are not going to to be 285 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:02,920 that bad, you know, only a couple out, not these six hour 286 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,799 flights that Oregon is going to be taken out to Rutgers. So yeah, 287 00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:10,440 I'm really excited about it. I think it's gonna be really good. Yeah, 288 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,480 I know everybody just can't wait to see Cal play Boston College. Uh. 289 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,160 Great a football there, you know. Yeah, uh well, let's 290 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,079 let's start out on the college football side transition things there. Uh. You 291 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:32,119 once called Harvard Yale a better rivalry than Oklahoma and Texas, and now here 292 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,119 they are this weekend. You're never gonna let me live that down. Man, 293 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,799 You're never gonna let me live that down. Absolutely not. We are 294 00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:42,720 about to witness the best rivalry in college football. You are not in Dallas 295 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,400 this weekend. You're coming next weekend. You're not in here this weekend for 296 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,200 the best weekend to be in the city. What a game we have here? 297 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,039 Like you know, you know me I love the Sooners, and I 298 00:24:56,079 --> 00:25:02,119 am very optimistic about this team being fun at oh and they've done everything that's 299 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,920 been asked of them. They've covered every game this year, you know, 300 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:10,799 undefeated record, top twelve team. But there's something about Texas as much I 301 00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:15,799 hate to admit it, this feels different than what we've talked about previously with 302 00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:18,400 Texas teams. With the way Sarcus coach these guys up, the way you 303 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,839 weres and save you're worthy, you're playing? Are you buying in? Is 304 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,559 this Texas team a serious team? Are they a title contending team? They? 305 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,000 I think they look as good as any team in the country right now. 306 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:34,039 Yeah, I would have to agree. Although I think that that win 307 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:41,440 against Alabama, I don't know. I don't want that win. I don't 308 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,640 want to say that win was you know, blown out of proportion, because 309 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,759 that was an impressive win. TuS Loose is one of the best play one 310 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:51,160 of the hardest places to play in the country. But also I don't think 311 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,640 Alabama's very good. So I think this Oklahoma team, it's arguably Texas's biggest 312 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,680 test yet because of the rival that is that you have to factor in here. 313 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,440 This is going to be an all time game. I think Oklahoma's playing 314 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,400 really well. They've certainly impressed me. But you mentioned when you weres in 315 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:15,079 Texas and Steve Sarkisian and the job that he's done, I think it's safe 316 00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:19,119 to say Texas is back. I think will win this weekend in Dallas would 317 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:25,400 certainly solidify that. But yeah, I do think Texas is for real. 318 00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:29,720 I do think that if they win this game, they will make the college 319 00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:32,519 football playoffs. I mean, I think this is the high stakes game. 320 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,960 The winner, I think is for sure going to be in the Big Twelve 321 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,880 championship game. So I'm excited to watch this game. I give Texas the 322 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,000 slight advantage. I think this is going to be a really really tight game, 323 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,160 maybe more high scoring than people think. Yeah, it's interesting you bring 324 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,279 that up, because to me, I feel like if Oklahoma's going to have 325 00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:56,400 a chance in this game, it's going to have to be their defense. 326 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,839 It feels really weird that we're talking about in Oklahoma team that's carried by their 327 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,480 defense second in the country in points allowed this year. The offense has been 328 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,799 sporadic up and down, you know, for much of the season. Here, 329 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720 If if this is going to be a game at all. That Oklahoma 330 00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:15,119 defense is going to have to find a way to slow Texas down. I 331 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:21,000 think, yeah, I'm absolutely with you. And you know, we've seen 332 00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,880 Texas be really good at times this year, we've seen them not be very 333 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,480 good. I mean against Kansas, they were fantastic. I thought Kansas was 334 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,720 going to cover the spread in that game. They didn't. Texas looked really 335 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,839 good in the second half of that game, especially in the fourth quarter that 336 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:37,519 that's when they started to pull away. But you also look at Texas against 337 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:41,640 Wyoming when that was a one possession game going into the fourth quarter against an 338 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:47,279 inferior opponent. So Texas has had some really good stretches and they've had some 339 00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:52,119 stretches where they haven't played their best. So against a team like Oklahoma, 340 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,039 it was playing really well. It's, you know, their biggest rival. 341 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,720 It is going to take four quarters of really good football to win this game. 342 00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,079 And I think it's going to be a back and forth game. I 343 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,160 think it's going to be a high scoring game. I think both quarterbacks are 344 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,000 going to play really well. I think the difference in this game is going 345 00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:11,960 to be who's going to make a play defensively, who's going to get that 346 00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:17,279 big turnover, which player is going to make that big interception in the red 347 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,839 zone. That's what I think this game comes down to. Yeah, I 348 00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:25,079 think you're right. We're talking to Will Scott here this week as we're talking 349 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,839 to college football, and I got to tell you Will, just looking at 350 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,480 the games this week. My buddy Ball was giving me a hard time for 351 00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:38,680 looking at this game closely, but I thought of you immediately. This Syracuse 352 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,559 North Carolina game is probably the fourth and fifth best game in the country this 353 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,640 week. Drake May going up against a Syracuse team that's four and one, 354 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,200 outside of the top twenty five here. Really, I think that's a sneaky 355 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,720 good football game. Syracuse got a chance to surprise some people here. Yeah, 356 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,720 I would agree. Syracuse did not play good football last week against Clemson, 357 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:03,960 as the Syracuse A lot of that game was painful to watch. The 358 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:10,079 officiating was not good, but that's not an excuse to losing by seventeen points 359 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:15,200 against Clempson. They had some turnovers. Jarrett Trader did not have his best 360 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,240 game. I think Clips had a good game plan against him defensively, but 361 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:22,720 Syrakese really gave that game to Clempson. I thought Syracuse that was a game 362 00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:26,839 they could have won, and instead they lose by double digits. They had 363 00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:30,640 a chance to make it interesting in the end, but turn the ball over 364 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:33,519 down ten when they had a chance to cut to maybe three with a few 365 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:36,759 minutes lap. So I think the game was honestly a little bit closer than 366 00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:40,799 the score indicated. Tyler. But this Syracuse team, their defense for the 367 00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:44,359 most sparts played really well this season. I think Garrett Trader at QB, 368 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,920 he's one of the more underrated players in the country. What he can do 369 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,039 is a dual threat quarterback. So I'm excited to watch this game. I 370 00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:55,440 think it's going to be really close. Do I think Syracuse wins, No, 371 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,519 but I do think they cover that eight point spread. Yeah, Willie 372 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,559 Betts already there the cover for Syracuse, so we'll see if he makes that 373 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,960 up. And I'm sure you're enjoying that legal sports betting in Arizona too. 374 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,240 Oh, it's been. It's been a game changer, man, it has 375 00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:17,079 been. It has been a lot of funny. I'm responsible better, you 376 00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:19,440 know, I don't put crazy money on games, but I did pretty well 377 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,880 with the Rider cut Man I'll say that I did. And the words of 378 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,559 Larry David pretty pretty good with the rider. I'm glad you found the legal 379 00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:32,680 sports betting because I'm pretty sure your bookie stopped taking your calls, you know, 380 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:37,440 after you, uh just were winning so much. Yeah, I did 381 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,720 have. I've had several bookies in my life, I'll say that. And 382 00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:48,000 that's not because I'm running from them. That's funny. One game that catches 383 00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:52,279 my eye. Going to the SEC this week, Kentucky and Georgia, both 384 00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:57,920 teams at five and zero, will a lot of doubters about Carson Beck if 385 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,440 he can get the job done. This to me is an interesting task because 386 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:07,759 Kentucky, historically speaking under Mark Stoops, tends to play over their heads a 387 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:12,799 little bit here. If Carson Beck struggles, Kentucky could make this a more 388 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:17,440 interesting game maybe than people realize. If Beck plays well, Georgia should be 389 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,759 able out of Kentucky. This this game could go really one of two ways 390 00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:26,680 here. Yeah, you know, Georgia, they're they're so beatable, man. 391 00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:30,920 And that's no disrespect to that team. I mean they're a great team. 392 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480 To the number one team in the country. They haven't lost in a 393 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:37,440 long, long long time, you know, going for the three p here, 394 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,839 but they're they've shown, you know, signs of vulnerability. They are 395 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:47,799 extremely beatable. South Carolina looked like they had him, Auburn looked like they 396 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,039 had him. Now they're going to be an actions facing a Kentucky team that 397 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,319 absolutely blew out a ranked Florida team last week. So Kentucky's coming in with 398 00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:00,359 a lot of confidence. I think the coach Doups is one of the more 399 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:06,000 underrated coaches in the country, the job that he's done in Lexington. I 400 00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,759 think it's going to be a close game. I think it was somewhat of 401 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:14,720 a wake up call for Georgia at Auburn last week. Had Georgia won that 402 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,559 game more decisively, they might be coming in a little bit over confident. 403 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:21,359 With the Kirby smart Man, he's probably the best coach in the country right 404 00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:24,640 now. He's going to have his guys ready to play. So I actually 405 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:30,440 do think Georgia wins. This game. Might be close in the first half. 406 00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,839 I do see Georgia pulling away, and I think back, who you 407 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,880 know, I definitely think has some potential. I don't think he's shown that 408 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,880 full potential this year. I think he plays a lot better in this game. 409 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,839 I got one more college not for you before we move on here. 410 00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:52,400 Yeah. So, at the beginning of the year at your former employer, 411 00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:55,160 I did a bold prediction segment and one of the things I was adamant about 412 00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:00,720 was that LSU was a fraud. And here they are three and two. 413 00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:04,960 They don't even deserve to be ranked. I don't know why they're twenty third 414 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:08,920 right now taking up Missou this week. They are favorites though against Massou this 415 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,400 week? What what the hell was going on with LSU? I mean, 416 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,599 I thought this was a team Brian Kelly that prides themselves on defense and they 417 00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:22,720 couldn't stop a nosebleed last Weekend's all miss is is Brian Kelly on the hot 418 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,359 seat? Like? What's going on in LSU? Here? No baks now 419 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,839 in the hot seat? I mean, look, he won the SEC West 420 00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:31,640 in year one. He took over a team that was below the five hundred, 421 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:37,519 and their last two seasons combined wins the West. Last year beats Alabama. 422 00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:43,519 I think really exceeded expectations in his first season in Baton Rouge. Because 423 00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:46,640 of that, LSU came in with very high expectations this season. You know, 424 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:52,000 they were definitely considered a playoff favorite or playoff contender. They were pre 425 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:57,160 season number five. I thought they were definitely the favorites to win the SEC 426 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,279 West again this year, especially with Alabama coming into this season with a lot 427 00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:06,559 of question marks. We've seen Alabama already with with the loss this year to 428 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,679 Texas, so I think because of that, LSU, you know, came 429 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:15,360 in with high expectations and they certainly have not lived up to those expectations. 430 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,880 Now, the offense hast The offense has been fantastic. Jade Daniels from a 431 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,360 passer standpoint, has done better than I thought he was going to be this 432 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,960 year. He really worked on that in the offseason, kind of improving his 433 00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:30,800 accuracy down the field. He's been great. I mean LSU put up forty 434 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,039 nine points in Oxford last week. You should not lose a football game when 435 00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:37,519 you score forty nine points. But the defense has been a massive disappointment. 436 00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:43,159 You know, Matt House I really liked as a defensive coordinator. The defense 437 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:46,960 showed a lot of strides as a young defense last year. But the defense 438 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,679 has been a massive prob especially the winners. I don't know what's going on, 439 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,719 man, But three and two for LSU that that's just not gonna come. 440 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,880 Yeah, I agree, it's gonna be tough. They might be three 441 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:05,280 three. They're going to a zoo this weekend was Zoo's undefeated Elijah drink with 442 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,480 maybe for SEC Coach of the Year if they keep that rolling up there in 443 00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:12,559 Columbia. But that's gonna be a really tough game for Ushoot. I think 444 00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,159 also wins, but it's not going to be easy. Yeah, I'm with 445 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,280 him. Friends, always a pleasure, my friend. I'll see you here 446 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,639 in a couple of days. Enjoy Phoenix, one of my favorite cities on 447 00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:25,920 the planet. We'll be there soon enough. We'll go tear up the final 448 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,599 four to April. Look forward to it, man, I am. I 449 00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:31,760 am looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to next week in Dallas too. 450 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,719 I'm looking forward to ordering a Tiger King and Standard poor man, I'm 451 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,639 counting down to days.
