Florida State thirty one, twenty four and overtime at Clemson. They 33 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,759 moved to four and ozer. Tremendous game if you saw it. It was 34 00:02:55,759 --> 00:03:01,199 the twelve o'clock game last week. Turning point of the game obviously, you 35 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,360 know, kind of a defensive game the first quarter and a half or so. 36 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,800 Clemson was kind of dictating play a little bit more than Florida State was. 37 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,159 Game got very much more offensive in the second half and Clemson started to 38 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,360 was up a touchdown and driving for more. And the play of the game 39 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,080 was the safety blitz which led to the strip sack of club Nick which turned 40 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,360 into a Florida State defensive touchdown. Then he had all the drama at the 41 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,639 end of the game with the miss field goal by Clemson, the short twenty 42 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,479 nine yarder. The kid was brought off basically back off the street. He 43 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000 had been on the team previously, was not on the team this year. 44 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,800 Was brought back flori Clemsons had all kind of kicking problems this year, and 45 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,520 the kid was brought to who's the backup kicker the last several years, brought 46 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:53,919 basically back off the off campus to kick and missed the twenty nine yard field 47 00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:58,960 goal. Game goes to overtime Florida State scorers and then Clemson with there was 48 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 some it was driving, had the ball a third and one at like the 49 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,439 sixteen yard line and inexplicably throws a wide receiver screen that loses two yards, 50 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:11,080 setting up fourth down, and then a deflected pass on fourth down ends the 51 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,079 game. And just a terrible decision by club Nick to throw the screen pass 52 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720 on third and one when you can run the ball the shipley up the guts 53 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,160 and get the first down. They were moving, they were running the ball 54 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:25,000 pretty comfortably against Florida State, and you saw if you saw the rep you 55 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,240 saw the angst and Dabbo Sweeney's face after the third down play, like do 56 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,600 not check out of that to a screen. You know, these these quarterbacks 57 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,600 sometimes they get they get very cute instead of just and part of that's Dabo 58 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,879 Sweeney's fault. You gotta call a play that you can't audible out of call 59 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,879 the play call a call, the run, play up the middle. You 60 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,759 got two downs to get a yard. They end up losing two, and 61 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,839 then obviously fourth down you throw the ball and you throw it a complete So 62 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,560 not a great job coaching by Clemson and Dabbo Sweeney, But give Mike Norvell 63 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,639 credit. They get out of September at four and Ozero heading to a bye 64 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,240 week this week. They've kind of gone there through their first gauntlet that they 65 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,079 had to get through. The two huge games LSU and Clemson. They win 66 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,319 them both. Now they potentially have a little room for error, but you 67 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,480 still got some tough games coming up. You've got some home games in October 68 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,000 which you'll be heavily favored in, and then you obviously you potentially have Miami. 69 00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:23,000 You got Duke in Miami down the road here, and then potentially a 70 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,959 ACC championship game, probably not against Clemson, cause now Clemson has two conference 71 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,639 losses. You're probably looking at maybe in North Carolina or Duke potentially or Miami 72 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,160 again. You never know, so excuse me, but again, Florida State 73 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,759 gets through the first month of the year. Everybody thought that this was going 74 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,519 to be the the kind of make it or break it month for them and 75 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480 they've obviously made it. So give Norvelle in Company credit. Very tough win 76 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,240 in a tough environment. Hadn't beat Clemson in Death Valley in ten years since 77 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,399 jamis they get it done. Hadn't beat Clemson in seven years overall, So 78 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240 great win, Like you had to beat you to knock out the bully kind 79 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,800 of Clemson's been the bully this ACC conference for the last seven eight years. 80 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:10,639 So great job by Florida State getting it done. Wasn't pretty areas to improve, 81 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,160 but they get it done. And again that just shows the veteran leadership 82 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,079 of that team. We're gonna get into this game again. Talk a little 83 00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,920 bit more in depth on this game with JP Peterson here just in a few 84 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,079 minutes. But Florida State four and OHO thirty one twenty four winners. Florida 85 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,759 beat Charlotte and their last non conference well not their last, but they're they're 86 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,199 kind of their last non conference prior to SEC season starting twenty two seven. 87 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,360 Moved to three and one. Kind of a ho home game, kind of 88 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,959 the highlight of this game was Ricky Piersall kind of the catch of the year 89 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:43,279 of college football. He made an unbelievable one handed catch in traffic, and 90 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,560 then he got lit up after he makes the one handed catch. So not 91 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:48,680 a whole lot else will talk about in this game, to be honest with 92 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800 you, Florida again moves to three and one to kind of a methodical twenty 93 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,480 two seven win over Charlotte. They will go to Kentucky next week, which 94 00:06:56,519 --> 00:07:00,839 would be a tough, very tough game up in Lexington. Ups and companies 95 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,519 are always very difficult to beat in Lexington. Again, Florida coming off the 96 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,639 Tennessee win, follows it up with the Charlotte win. So in Kentucky coming 97 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,120 up next week in Lexington. So third game I want to talk about as 98 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,600 USF. USF bounces back after the Alabama Lawson beats Rice forty two twenty nine. 99 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,680 I really liked the bounce back following the physical Alabama game. Obviously, 100 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,800 in years passed, this USF team would not have recovered like this and played 101 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,319 well. They did face some adversity in the Rice game. I think at 102 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,639 one point I saw they were down twenty one twenty middle of the third quarter 103 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Byron Brown. Tremendous game, four hundred and thirty five yards passing two touchdowns, 104 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:45,879 another eighty two yards rushing in a touchdown run the freshman quarterback, so 105 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,959 they've definitely found their quarterback. At USF, the defense is playing better and 106 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:55,920 again big nice good conference win to start for Alex Golish in year one. 107 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,480 Again if USF moved to two and two, and when I like about this 108 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,800 team, they're playing very competitively. They're not getting blown out, they're not 109 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:07,759 getting gashed. I'm sure they're giving up some points. But again, good 110 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,680 job by Alex Golish and company getting that team to recover following the Alabama game. 111 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:18,120 Back focused and disciplined to follow up the good performance against Alabama with a 112 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,199 winning performance against Rice. So good job by USF on that front. So 113 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:26,839 give me one second and I will let me. I forgot to write this 114 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:33,360 down. Let's see who USF has this week. Let's see us football schedule. 115 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,759 They are gonna play at Navy again, tough matchup. They go to 116 00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,399 Navy, go to Annapolis. Shout out to my guy Andy Wood, who's 117 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,960 from the Annapolis area, My boss Titan Home Lending. So shout out to 118 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:54,879 Andy and Titan with with with the midshipman again. Tough, tough offense to 119 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:58,639 prepare for kind of the option offense is. Again, this is kind of 120 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,159 a once a year offense that I have to prepare for, So it'll be 121 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,080 injuring you see how they respond to that. Playing up at the Naval Academy 122 00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:09,399 on Saturday, all the pageantry and is. One thing I would like to 123 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,159 do at some point here in the next handful of years would be to make 124 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,919 it up to either Army or Navy for a game. Maybe even the Army 125 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:20,039 Navy game would be something I'd love to do moving forward. I think it'd 126 00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:24,600 be cool to have spend a weekend up there on those campuses for a home 127 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,440 game. But USF goes to Navy this week. Again, will be a 128 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240 tough matchup again, but a matchup that they can win. They'll probably have 129 00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:35,639 better athletes overall. But again, can you defend the triple option and have 130 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,240 the discipline to do the things you gotta do against a triple option compared to 131 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,639 the spread offense? So good job byous goals two and two USF Central Florida. 132 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,120 They fall on their conference opener at Kansas State forty four thirty one. 133 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:52,519 They fall to three and one. Remember Timmy McClean was the back is the 134 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,399 backup quarterback. He's in there for John reach Plumbly who's still out injured. 135 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,440 Again. Tough place to go play in your open in Manhattan. You know, 136 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,879 I don't think you could have expected them to win. Member Kansas State 137 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,120 was in won the Big Twelve last year, came back with a lot of 138 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,840 players, good program, very solid again, tough place to play, so 139 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,159 us UCF starts their Big Twelve careers oh and one, and they will now 140 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,759 host Baylor in their Big twelve opening game, the first game they've ever hosted 141 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Big Twelve wise will be in Orlando this week. Baylor comes to town. 142 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Who then got who got throttled last week by Texas, so this should be 143 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,240 a winnable game for UCF. Very competitive game. Be interesting to see again 144 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,440 how they recover from a tough, tough game last week. We don't know 145 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,519 the status if Timmy McClane will still be in the lineup or will be johnres 146 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,080 Plumbly. But again, first ever home game for the Nights in the Big 147 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,320 twelve, So a lot of excitement in Orlando at the Bounce House in anticipation 148 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,919 for the Baylor Bears come into town and for all ucfans just so you know, 149 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,240 we've tried to get some people from UCF to come on and talk about 150 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,480 the program and the team this year, have just not had any success with 151 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:11,039 anybody returning our requests. So we definitely want to talk UCF UCF, and 152 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:18,679 we are efforting to get some people from the UCF football program to return a 153 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,840 request to get them on here to talk some UCF. So we are trying. 154 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:28,679 So just know that FIU they fall at home to Liberty thirty eight six. 155 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,639 They fall to two and two. Mike McIntyre and company. Not a 156 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,360 great performance if you know you lose thirty eight six. Obviously, Liberties one 157 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,080 of the stronger programs in that conference, and they put it to FIU pretty 158 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,440 good. So the Panthers fall to two and two. Their next game is 159 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,320 a week from Wednesday, October the fourth, at New Mexico State. That 160 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,039 would probably be a TV game, one of those midweek games that you might 161 00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:58,360 see on ESPN or CBS Sportsnet. So again two and two, FIU gets 162 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,279 a little bit of a kind of a mini buy get about ten days to 163 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,519 prepare as a head out to New Mexico State. I think that's lots. 164 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,720 I believe that's Los crucis New Mexico's where that will be. I believe that's 165 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,120 where New Mexico State is. But again, you'll probably see them on TV 166 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,240 next week as they go too and two again, good job by McIntyre, 167 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,600 you know, stabilizing this program. So two and two FIU. And remember 168 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,519 you heard a j Ricketts play by play voice of the Panthers a couple of 169 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,559 weeks back to a little preview, So if you missed that episode, go 170 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,000 back and check out AJ's preview of FIU if you want to hear a little 171 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,919 more FIU back on the Florida Football Insiders podcast. I think that was week 172 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,159 one or week two of the podcast that we talked to AJ Ricketts, but 173 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:48,679 you can find it in the annals of the Florida Football Insiders podcast. All 174 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:52,799 right, FAU, a close lost, Good job by Tom Herman. They 175 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,840 go to Illinois, lose twenty three seventeen at Illinois one and three. Now 176 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,799 for Tom Herman and the Owls again as they come. You know, they 177 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,440 played two money games in a row. They remember they played they played Illinois 178 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,360 this week in the in the week last week they played at Clemson, So 179 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240 two kind of money games for them. They will now have a buy as 180 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,279 they head into conference season. Again for all you, all the FAU fans 181 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,559 as well the Owls. We've reached out to FAU as well. We're trying 182 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,399 to get some people on from somebody on from FAU. Have not had a 183 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,399 whole lot of cooperation from those guys down there. So again, we're trying 184 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,159 to get every We're trying to get representation and chatter about all the programs in 185 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,159 the state of Florida. We definitely think it's important to cover all the programs 186 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,240 and we definitely want to do that, but not a lot of response from 187 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,639 the people we've reached out to a FAUS, which I don't I don't get 188 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,559 it. I figured they would want as much attention as they can get. 189 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,240 We're not asking for much time, so but we'll keep trying. So FAU 190 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,480 Faster one in three year one Tom Herman. Remember Casey Thompson, the quarterbacks 191 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,159 out for the year, hurt his knee a week ago at Clemson. So 192 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,000 they lose a close one. Good good good performance though at Illinois Big Ten. 193 00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,320 Kind of one of the underachieving teams so far in the Big Ten is 194 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,639 Illinois. But Illinois gets it done. Twenty three seventeen at home. So 195 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,200 last team we're gonna hit off before we get to JP Peterson. Miami ups 196 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:18,519 goes up to Philadelphia and smokes Temple forty one seven. They moved to four, 197 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200 and oh they are sneaky, kind of laying in the weeds here. 198 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,919 I think Mario Christovall likes how this team is moving forward. They have they 199 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,039 also have a bye this week, but again, I think Mario's really really 200 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,200 encouraged about where they're at. Moving to four and oh, you're gonna get 201 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,360 into the heart of their ACC schedule. They've got North Carolina and Clemson coming 202 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,720 up in October, and if they can get through that gauntlet, you've got 203 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,799 a potential showdown with Florida State early November, which could have a massive, 204 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,840 massive ACC and potential College Football playoff implications for both teams that they both come 205 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:58,440 in undefeated. So Miami's off to a good start. Tyler Van Dyke playing 206 00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,360 really well. These are the kind of games that you like to see Miami 207 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960 winning. Handle a note, there was a no doubter at Temple, a 208 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:07,919 team you're way better than you go up there and you beat them. That's 209 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,200 what I like. That's what you want to see if you're a Canes fan, 210 00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:13,879 No struggle with the teams that you're supposed to beat. So be a 211 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:18,639 good week for these for Florida State and Miami to get rested, get healthy, 212 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,919 kind of work on the fundamentals, do a little self scouting these teams 213 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:24,240 of that buys this week. And again if the other team, you know, 214 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:28,720 Fay using the same boat, get healthy as you head into conference season. 215 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,320 And again for the other state teams. We got Florida at Kentucky. 216 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,519 You see f hosting Baylor FIU. Kind of a mini buy this week, 217 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,000 So a lot of bye weeks in the state of Florida and then they'll probably 218 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,799 play They'll then they'll have the Long Gauntlet the rest of the year. So 219 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,919 a lot of good action here in the state of Florida. Again, check 220 00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,639 out JP Peterson be coming up in just a minute. Will we get into 221 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,200 a little more the couple of the FSU angles, you little USF talk and 222 00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,120 such. We'll go through all the teams with JP Peterson, get his thoughts. 223 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,559 So before we get to that now word, I want to give you 224 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,679 a note from tickets Smarter.

Hopefully enjoyed my recap of all the state schools 262 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,279 over the weekend. Now we're going to get in a little more in depth 263 00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:03,799 about a couple of the school's most importantly the huge win by the Florida State 264 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,359 Seminoles going to Death Valley and getting it done in overtime over Clemson with my 265 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:17,599 man JP Peterson, instider, extraordinary former media guy up in Tallahassee for many 266 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,079 years, and now he is has his own great show down here in the 267 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:25,279 tep Bay area, the JP Peterson Show as part of the Fans Stream Sports 268 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,559 platform. Welcome in, mister Peterson, Thank you, Jason, good to 269 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:33,799 be here. Love your stuff. Big weekend for FSU fans. I was 270 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:40,279 just reliving it with a couple of friends reading their blogs and just some guys 271 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:44,880 that went up to Clemson with it. I must give them a nod to 272 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,640 their hospitality. They are the most welcoming, hospitable fans maybe in America. 273 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:55,960 Okay, I think you feel great and then normally kick your ass with a 274 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,400 with a with a nice buzz and a full belly. By the way, 275 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:03,240 the way it's should always be on every campus that's stadium. It's football, 276 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:07,359 people, It's not war. You know. You know this just in Philly 277 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,039 fans. You don't have to hate the other team or the people wearing the 278 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:15,319 other colors and beat the shit out of them. So it's just football. 279 00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,960 But yeah, hats off to the Clemson fans. They're always the best, 280 00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:25,759 most hospitable. Hey, they're they're they're they're down home South Carolina people. 281 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,720 That that's my business all the time. There you go, there you go. 282 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:33,480 And finally, Florida State's on the good side of a miss kick one 283 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:37,119 of these days. How about that? How about that wide left? You 284 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,000 know what, I felt bad for that kid for like five seconds, I 285 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:44,559 really did, and his mom and dad sitting up there. But we've been 286 00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:48,240 there, I know you're Florida State fan, You've got you're you know, 287 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,839 it's all right, It's all right now, I know how they feel. 288 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,920 Yeah, that was that was a tough one. But you know interesting that. 289 00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:02,160 You know, Clemson goes out and recruit it's maybe the best kicker in 290 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,759 high school football, and the kid just can't handle the pressure. And then 291 00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:11,279 you gotta go get a a kid that never got the kick because the guy 292 00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,359 ahead of him was so good for four years and finally says enough enough, 293 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,920 and they recruit this other kid. He never gets a shot, and Dabo's 294 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,279 gotta go begging and pleading back to him, you know, on the golf 295 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:26,960 courses of Myrtle Beach, and he doesn't quite answer the bell. But let's 296 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,079 be honest, you know, if we're being totally objective, FSU probably didn't, 297 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,519 you know, need to bring it down to a kick many of those 298 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,680 years, probably should have been more aggressive and punched it in while they were 299 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,799 moving the football. Lead it up to a kicker. That's what's gonna happen. 300 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:48,920 That's what's gonna happen. And you know he Dabbo Dabbo and his group 301 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:55,079 did not manage that game very well. They that overtime a series of play 302 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,160 one call in overtime. That screen they threw was awful. They could have 303 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,599 just handed off the Will Shipley every time in overtime and just won the game. 304 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:08,559 FSUs defense at that point was not stopping the run. And he and 305 00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:11,079 but and he wants to say, well he had a check with me. 306 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,440 Well, he shouldn't have a check with me in his fifth start in that 307 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,599 situation. That's band the ball off. Hand the ball off. You shouldn't 308 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:22,480 have an option there. Don't give your quarterback an option on a check with 309 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:26,440 me there right, you know, hand the ball off. So he's got 310 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,559 to wear that when he Dabbo has been a good part of the day pointing 311 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:33,039 fingers and other people on the sideline and on TV. So interesting, Yeah, 312 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,680 it's it's interesting where that clips of programs going. There's been very anti 313 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,279 transfer portal, you know, so that to see how they how they react 314 00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:44,960 in the next this year's done, they're not they're not going to be in 315 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,720 the mix this year. How he responds in the off season with the transfer 316 00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,759 portal and staff changes or whatever, they got to do differently at clips because 317 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,200 they're kind of they're kind of going down a couple of notches here. If 318 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,400 you don't ask the dinosaurs, if you don't adapt to your surround soundings, 319 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:07,279 you become extinct. Yeah, Dabo is looking very much like a ronosaurus right 320 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,720 out now. And it's clear. Yeah, it's clear. The talent level 321 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:11,839 not near what it was five six years ago at Clemson. Yeah, I 322 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,599 mean, and he's got a destination program. How many people love to transfer 323 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:21,119 in to Clemson? Right, the facilities there, everything, I mean, 324 00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:23,599 I mean, that's a great place to play football, and you know you 325 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:29,880 want to keep the door closed. Yeah, yep, that's right. Let's 326 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,039 get to the Florid State side of things. To me, the pos the 327 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,960 play of the game was the strip sack on the blitz turned into the into 328 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,519 the you know, tying touchdown. Florist was cheatering right there. If Clemson 329 00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:42,839 punches it in right there and puts him down fourteen, that game is probably 330 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,599 over. But give Florida State defensively credit that they continue the pressure and the 331 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,839 depth. I think the depth that Norvella is built up over there with the 332 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,079 both sides of the ball is really starting to show here with this huge September 333 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,319 run they've had with Clemson, in LSU Halin DeLoach the player of the year, 334 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:02,559 no question about it. Without that play, they don't win that game. 335 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,000 That was a complete game changer, a season changer for FSU. You're 336 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:12,039 absolutely right, Clemson had the momentum. You know the FSU. Let me 337 00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:17,000 just say this first and foremost. Okay, that's a huge win for FSU. 338 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:22,079 You have won there since twenty thirteen. You gotta beat the big dog. 339 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,319 To beat the big dog, to quote Rick Flair and or Butcher whatever, 340 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,359 you know what I'm saying. To be the man, you gotta beat 341 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,680 the brother. That's right, you gotta. So they had to do it. 342 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,960 And to walk into Clemson like that, in that situation where they know 343 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:40,000 their program is on the line and the dynasty is on the line, and 344 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,160 to win that game, I don't give a crap. How you get it 345 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,039 done. That is a huge, huge win and and and four years in 346 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,200 the making for Mike Norvell, two years removed from losing to Jacksonville State, 347 00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:56,200 You're back on top in the ACC which gives you a play at the table 348 00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:00,200 for the for the championship game, to get into the playoff. Let's go. 349 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,960 So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna, you know, apologize for any 350 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,440 of that. Now that said, this defense has got a long way to 351 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,680 go right Without that big play, this defense just gets trampled. They did 352 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,559 not. They gave up four hundred and twenty nine yards. The Nose were 353 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:19,200 outgained by over one hundred yards in this one. The time of possession, 354 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:25,240 all the numbers pointed to Clemson. And but but when you make big plays 355 00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:27,839 like last night, the Bucks had opportunities to make big plays. They didn't 356 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:34,400 make it. Right, Meldan can't make the plays, made the play, 357 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:41,119 missed this block and then Fisk, thank god, handed it off to get 358 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,079 to get the pick six. What a huge play man, What a huge 359 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:49,440 play. I have a lot of issues with the way Adam Fuller is calling 360 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,240 this defense at third downs. It seems like the other team always gets the 361 00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,839 matchup that they want, which is the essence of coaching, right. So 362 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,720 they've got to do a lot of self scouting in this off week and get 363 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,880 their coaching in line with the talent. I think offensively they're playing subpart. 364 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,720 Now, I'll say this, you got you got four games to win in 365 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,240 September. You got to maybe simplify things and let your athletes just go win 366 00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:18,559 those games. And they did that. Okay, they did that. Now 367 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,319 self scout, get that offense much more varied, much more multiple. Get 368 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,160 Jaheim Bell involved, get the other tight end involved, get the backs involved 369 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,599 in the passing game. Let's not just be you know, Johnny Wilson, 370 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,440 ball jump balls, jump balls they're doing. I know that's what Clemson was 371 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,920 giving them, and they were daring him to do it. But I think, 372 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,880 you know, at some point you gotta use some other weapons. Obviously, 373 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,440 and Jordan was hurt, he couldn't run. They knew that, so 374 00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:48,680 gutsy performance by him. But this was a hell of an overall hell of 375 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,440 effort by this team. They fought to the end. The fight in this 376 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,839 team from the day Mike Norvelle took over has been completely different than what we 377 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,279 saw with Willie Taggard or Jimbo Fisher. So complete buy in, hell of 378 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,480 a win on so many levels. Now, let's nitpick it. Why is 379 00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:08,920 this team different? Why can this team run the table, go the distance. 380 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000 As a post of teams in the past, I think you have so 381 00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:17,400 many fifth year guys coming back, Jordan verse guys in the secondary. I 382 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,640 think that the depth and the experience is kind of like the old school Florida 383 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,200 State. We have the internal leadership where you don't have to the coach doesn't 384 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,400 have to beg you to try to motivate you. I think the internal leadership 385 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,200 is what's gonna hopefully get this team over the top end of the playoff. 386 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,319 I agree, you know that there's they're getting all those guys to come back 387 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,119 is big. But Jordan Verse time to start playing some football, young man. 388 00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:42,960 It's beating somebody off the corner, double team whatever single team wouldn't double 389 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,119 team to all that much, beating people and making plays because your draft is 390 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,599 sinking, My friend, he needs to step up and play a lot better. 391 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:55,720 But yeah, I think the leadership on this team, the back end 392 00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,680 still worries me a little bit. They may, you know, want to 393 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:03,480 get some of their younger corners who are sitting on the bench involved. I 394 00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:06,920 see. I just guys are not making plays when they should be making plays, 395 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,160 and that front seven is way more talented than their teams should not be 396 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,599 able to run to football on them the way they are, so I think, 397 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720 you know, I think their best football is ahead of them. They 398 00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:19,799 need to they need to clean some things up. They need to get healthy. 399 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,079 But they you know, the schedule obviously looks you know, you always 400 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,759 go into it saying, oh, you know, it looks it looks easy. 401 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:29,200 Well, suddenly, Duke doesn't look that easy, does it. It 402 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,559 looks like a tough football game, right. Miami doesn't look that easy, 403 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,079 right, you know, you beat them forty five to three last year. 404 00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,920 I don't think that's gonna happen this year. So that looks a little bit 405 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,880 tougher. Florida and they just beat Tennessee. That might be a night game 406 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,200 in the swamp, So you know, that doesn't look at and you're gonna 407 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,839 have North Carolina possibly in the championship game. So it's no cakewalk. It's 408 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,519 no cakewalk, but you got a little probably have a little bit of cushion 409 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,000 right now. One loss of cushion. You probably got one loss. I 410 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,079 would agree with that, if you know, as long as it's not too 411 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:03,200 whoever you're you know, wake Forest. Yeah, you can't lose one of 412 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,680 those, can't lose one of those. But yeah, so I think you 413 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:11,559 have a little bit of cushion. You could maybe lose to Miami, and 414 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:14,000 then you know, if you come back and win an ACC championship, but 415 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000 you might not get in the game if you lose to Miami. Right, 416 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,559 we win it, you know, win a champion championship game. You might 417 00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:19,839 be able to get in because of the win over LSU, which I think 418 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,559 is gonna look like a really, really good win at the end of the 419 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,640 year. So yeah, I think they have a shot. You know what, 420 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,880 what percentage would I give it? Eight to one? Maybe, you 421 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,000 know, eight to one shot, But like I said, two years removed 422 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680 from losing to Jacksonville State, to have an eight to one shot to win 423 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400 a national championship, I'll take it all. Right, Let's go down to 424 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,839 Miami. Let's talk about the Hurricanes. You mentioned them again. Much seemed 425 00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:47,680 like a lot more buttoned up than they were last year year to A Mario. 426 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:51,960 The quarterbacks playing good again. They've reinforced the offensive defensive lines. What 427 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,039 do you see out of the Hurricanes after the big win against Jimbo and A 428 00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:59,359 M. How good is A and M. I don't know, I don't 429 00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:00,799 know, but it's a big win, right, it's a big win. 430 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,640 They're they're scoring points, they are fair scoring points. They're they're they're an 431 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,279 offensive line will allow that when you've got as many skilled players as they got, 432 00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:14,240 and Tyler van Dyke is clearly a different quarterback than he was last year. 433 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:17,640 Yeah, year two is a big deal. It's a big deal to 434 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,039 be in the system. I think krist the Ball is a great coach. 435 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,200 I think you'll get them right. I still think it might be a year 436 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:29,119 or two early for them, but they got talent. I'm glad this FSU 437 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,839 game will be in Miami, but Miami's better, no question. But I 438 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,559 don't think A and m is as the program you think it is. I 439 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:44,559 have some insight information and let's just say, behind the scenes, that place 440 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,279 is a mess. How how cool? How cool would it be if we 441 00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:52,480 can get an undefeated Florid State and undefeated Miami early November? For I will 442 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:56,599 say, all the marbles, but for a lot of the marbles be nice 443 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,480 again, right, it'd be nice with a little well, Chris air allahassee 444 00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:03,640 maybe on a Saturday night, Ye see that flaming spear hit the sun on 445 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,559 the head. With Miami and FSU both in the top ten. Yeah, 446 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:11,519 sign me up for that. I'll be I'll be I'll be ready for that 447 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,599 absolutely one percent. But I think, you know, I think Miami they 448 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,839 still have a couple of you know, games in them that that they may 449 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,160 not be able to win. So I'll wait to see if there's a little 450 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,839 bit more consistency. Fs U's one ten in a row now, so Miami's 451 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,759 well, well short of that. Let's get a shout out to our guy, 452 00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:32,880 Brad jump and how about today and m last week? Sound son to 453 00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:37,720 brother to brother combination. Max comes in relief, throws to his to his 454 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,519 to his younger brother the tight end. Cool cool moment there at Texas A 455 00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,160 and M when they score and beat Auburn. How about that? That was? 456 00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:48,240 That was so cool? And that's a long time coming to right, 457 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,200 you know, So that that that was a nice moment for Brad, I 458 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,920 know, for for the kids. And I guess I don't know how how 459 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,279 injured the A and M quarterback is is Max? Is Max gonna o that 460 00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:06,160 now? I don't know, but yeah, that was a special moment. 461 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,480 Let's go to Gainesville, couple, let's talk a minutes all the Gators. 462 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,119 What do you see at a napier? Obviously that the semi signature win against 463 00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:15,319 Tennessee. Still not where they need to be but they're getting you can tell 464 00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:19,039 they're getting better, a little more organized. What do you what do you 465 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:22,000 think of Billy Napier year two? Well, I didn't see much of the 466 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,359 shot at game, but the final score certainly was not impressive twenty two to 467 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,799 seven. But I watched the entire Tennessee game, and that was that was 468 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:36,480 a quintessential Swamp win, right, That was a Florida That was a crowd 469 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,599 win. That was the players were inspired, and I think Napier coached a 470 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,319 really, really good game. I think Billy Napier is gonna be fine. 471 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,759 I think the heat on him is a little excessive, to be quite honest. 472 00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:49,960 In year two, he's got it. You know, he's got a 473 00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:52,519 lot of guys to get rid of, just like Mike Norvell did you gotta 474 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:55,960 take out the trash. You see who's you know, who's invested in who's 475 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,039 not. That takes a little bit of you know, sifting rowe to do 476 00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,839 that. So and he's got a lot of young players and he's playing them. 477 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,599 He's building something for the future. He's got a great recruiting class. 478 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,519 To me, his deal this year has keep this class together. That's then 479 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,680 win enough games to keep this class together. You recruited a top five class. 480 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,960 You're on your way to doing something special, and that's the most important 481 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,240 thing. I think the jury is still out on him as a coach in 482 00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:27,200 a major conference, but I think he'll figure that out. He's a super 483 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,119 smart guy, he's charismatic, he knows how to recruit. I think if 484 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,119 you're a Gator fan right now, just chill a little bit and let him 485 00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:39,720 work. Let him get the recruits in. They'll be fine. Last thing, 486 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:43,599 give me a thought on USF again, Alex Golds two and two. 487 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,319 Good performance against Alabama. They seem so much more buttoned up and more competitive 488 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,960 than they've been in years past. The defense played really well against Bama. 489 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,960 Granted Bama's quarterback situation wasn't was pretty bad that day in Raymond James, But 490 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,160 give me a thought on USF's improvement in year one. Well, first and 491 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,920 foremost for all of those who are still given me crap for you know, 492 00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:10,559 saying Deon Sanders was ninety percent headed to USF and saying that I made it 493 00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:15,199 up and it wasn't even that close. I hope you heard his interview with 494 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,119 my good friend Bubba the Love Sponge where he said, oh yeah, that 495 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,960 was real. That was absolutely real. We looked at it really really hard. 496 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,079 But in the end he got He knew that he would be at a 497 00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:28,800 disadvantage in recruiting with the big boys and not being in a Power five, 498 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,880 but he would have, you know, if he joined USF. I don't 499 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,400 know if that's USF and the ACC or SMU, I'm not quite sure, 500 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,920 but anyway, that being what it is, Alex scolesh is there. It's 501 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,280 not Deon Sanders, and I think what he did against Alabama and then this 502 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,840 last week against Rice, and I know it's just Rice, but you know 503 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,320 that team got they got down, and that's when USF teams quit. That's 504 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,559 what I've seen the last few years. They get down a couple scores and 505 00:34:55,599 --> 00:35:00,480 they're just done. Not this team. That team kept fighting. It came 506 00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:02,840 back offensively. They are they are gonna be really, really good. And 507 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,519 they put up what six hundred, seven hundred yards against Rice. Byron Brown 508 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,719 is the real deal man. That kid can throw the football. They've got 509 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,639 they're developing some weapons on the outside now. They got Nickquine right right steamrolling 510 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:22,280 people from the backfield. Their offensive line looks you know, at least uh 511 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,360 doable, you know, and their defense doesn't isn't great, but they make 512 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,239 plays every now and then. They've got some athletes that can make some plays 513 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,079 and get some takeaways. So that formula will help you win a few games, 514 00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:37,039 especially in that conference. So I think the last two weeks against Alabama 515 00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:42,519 and the win over Rice, that's huge for USF. And I think I 516 00:35:42,559 --> 00:35:45,920 think they're headed in the right direction. Goalish Goalish is his offense is dynamic. 517 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,480 We know that from Tennessee, and he's got to get some players. 518 00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:53,239 They don't have nearly enough players to compete for anything serious right now, but 519 00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:59,199 his portal is open. They need to get some nil money at USF. 520 00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:05,159 That's in embarrassment of a atmosphere that a USF fan base is providing. But 521 00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:07,639 I get it. One to eleven doesn't bring a lot of people in. 522 00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:12,639 But I've said this a lot at USF. You got to bring an atmosphere 523 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,079 before you're going to get good players. So if the fans want a bitch 524 00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:20,440 and moan, get your ass out to the games. Create some type of 525 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,159 atmosphere instead of an empty stadium, and that will help your team get players 526 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,440 I know it's hard sometimes, but when your team's not winning, but this 527 00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:32,440 team's interestingly interesting enough, they're fun enough, get your butt out there, 528 00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:36,599 support your team, create an atmosphere so he can go get some players. 529 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,960 And to me, I was I was very disappointed. You couldn't you know, 530 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,840 we talk about USF wanted to be a big program. We couldn't even 531 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920 sell out against Alabama. There were ten thousand empty seats against Samon James against 532 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,400 Alabama, the biggest hole game in your history, Nick Saban in town and 533 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,800 you still got ten thousand empty seats and of those people that were there, 534 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,320 twenty five thousand were Alabama fans. That's right, Yeah, it's Look, 535 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,960 it's hard to bitch at base that has, you know, endured what three 536 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,840 wins and three years. I get it. It's hard, but again, 537 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,519 you gotta in college football. It doesn't work like pro football. Man. 538 00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:15,480 You got to create an atmosphere before the players are gonna come. So suck 539 00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:19,880 it up, Buttercup, get your best friend paid for your ten dollars for 540 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,840 your ticket. Tickets aren't expensive for the games, and go to a college 541 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,239 football game. And by the way, the US provide provide buses for the 542 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,960 students, right, saw a couple of tweets this past week that they weren't 543 00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:36,039 running buses from campus to the to the stadium. If you have an off 544 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:39,119 campus stadium, that is non negotiable, right, it is non negotiable. 545 00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:42,880 If you got money to build a new stadium, you got money to run 546 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,119 buses from from the student union to Raymond James Stadium on a Saturday.
