Speaker 5: Also, Marcus Freeman number one best looking coach in college

59
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,360
football NFL. Yeah close, honestly, I think probably the NFL two.

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,159
Speaker 4: Also as well head coach. I mean, would you take

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,039
him or Kingsbury?

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: Be tough?

63
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,039
Speaker 4: I mean you can't go wrong, really, yeah, you can't

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,840
really go wrong. Also like Kingsbury a little more f

65
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:29,319
boy energy, Yeah, Freeman more like, this guy's just a man.

66
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,960
He's gonna support you, He's going to raise a family.

67
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,520
Yeah he has like six kids. Yeah yeah, Yeah, it's

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,199
got to be Catholic. He is Catholic.

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 6: I looked it up there. Yeah, and I mean he's

70
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:44,919
thirty eight years old. Yeah, he's thirty eight. Not out

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,680
my range as James Franklin. Let us know, yeah, your

72
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:52,039
r little brother him. Yeah you did, and it didn't

73
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:52,800
work out for you.

74
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:54,039
Speaker 2: Did we play that on the show?

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,319
Speaker 4: Yes we did? Okay, yeah, yeah, you try to get

76
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:02,080
these jokes off, James, But here you are exactly where

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,840
you began. And I actually I don't want to start

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,199
with James. I want to I want to believed. So

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280
I think the first part is we have to celebrate

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,160
this Notre Dame team and just how they continue to

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,759
find a way and what a game, great game, playoff wins?

82
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:22,920

Speaker 4: When wife he's away that Tata will play.

90
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what that means for Taylor.

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,639
Speaker 2: I was not saying either, do I I don't know.

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: You guys don't want to know, okay, I mean it's

93
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,199
it's it's it's a scary sight.

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,079
Speaker 4: But he just sits there and he just rips mock drafts.

95
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,560
He just prints him out, he chops it up on

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,439
the table and he just snorts mock drafts. He's gonna

97
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,439
come in Monday and be like, dude, did you see

98
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,800
those Saints' fourth round pick and Mike Mayok's latest mock

99
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560
what sounds about right?

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,879
Speaker 3: No, not mock drafts.

101
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:08,519
Speaker 4: We'll probably uh he does fake fantasy drafts, just simulating

102
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,079
fantasy drafts.

103
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:13,199
Speaker 3: Not quite that time yet. That's that's more ju July area.

104
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,519
Probably looking into some portal stuff over the weekend. Yeah, yeah,

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,800
I mean, you know it. Uh, I mean I'm excited

106
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,319
though it's a good day. Should be out of here

107
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:28,120
relatively early bar in any outer scene setbacks here on

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,680
a Friday.

109
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:33,879
Speaker 7: So what was it the It's funny when when my

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,279
wife used to leave town with kids, they used to

111
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:39,000
have it so much because all it meant is that

112
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240
me and my gay bestie were just gonna play board

113
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,759
games the entire weekend.

114
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,439
Speaker 4: I used to log like thirteen hour sessions of X

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,480
Wing miniatures game, Lord of the Rings card game. Taylor,

117
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:53,800
don't let these times go by, Okay, these next few

118
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,279
hours are yours and yours alone, and that is something

119
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:00,480
that becomes increasingly rare the older you get. So lean

120
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:02,839
into them, lean into them and do whatever you want

121
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,040
to do.

122
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: Look, we uh, I'm putting the chef hat on this

123
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,480

00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,279
then I got a frozen pizza for Sunday night. So

128
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:20,720
we're set.

129
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: You know, you could even though again you probably don'tant

130
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,920
to do this, we're out of town, but you could

131
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,879
if you ever made a gumbo where you make your

132
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,920
ruin everything you have ann scratch. It's almost time. Yeah,

133
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,199
at that age, it is it's time to uh, time

134
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:36,800
to strap on your big boy pants and learn how

135
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,000
to do it.

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: We held really good. We had really good black eyed

137
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,720
peas last night. Though we did it with sausage and onion.

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,360
We did green onion in there, sausage in there, black

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,000
eyed peas, and it was so good.

140
00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 4: That sounds great.

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: Also, I wanted to shout out Jake because my gift

142
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,759
from him was like the massage gun. Yeah, I used

143
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,079
it last night because I was sore from power hour

144
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,879
at Block the day before.

145
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: It was everybody needs to get a massage gun. I

146
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,199
bought one, but I don't know. I bought a cheap

147
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,439
one and it broke and I loved it for a

148
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,800
little bit. Yet I love it, Jake.

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,199
Speaker 3: Look at William Anthony's comment if if I wasn't in

150
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:19,720
a good mood already. Nickelback was listed as the top

151
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,199
rock band so far are the two thousands? I mean, guys,

152
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,079
come on, wow, is anyone surprised?

153
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,519
Speaker 4: Look at it?

154
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?

155
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: They're iconic.

156
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: I have a tachy body massager, but it doesn't like

157
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,000
punch in the same way and more vibrates and so

158
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,639
it's not like it doesn't it doesn't accomplish the same thing.

159
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:40,759
I gotta get a Scott's massage gun from a coworker.

160
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,759
Speaker 5: No, I don't think it is coming from, so.

161
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: It's actually coming from It's actually incredibly thoughtful. Everybody here

162
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,399
is thoughtful at giving gifts, except for me because I'm whatever.

163
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

164
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:53,879
Speaker 3: It just sucks.

165
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:56,879
Speaker 4: I'll just get you all more alcohol. That's just that's

166
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,480
that's what I do.

167
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: All right.

168
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,160

179
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: All right, what a game? What a game? Last night?

180
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: Notre Dame ends up in the end defeating Penn State

181
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:46,879
twenty seven to twenty four. And the word I keep

182
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:51,679
coming back to with his Notre Dame football team is toughness.

183
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: They just continue.

184
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,639
Speaker 4: And I don't mean just physical toughness though when you

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,960
look how they play, they are a very physically tough team.

186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Look out, they beat up Indiana up front. Look how

187
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960
they beat up Georgia upright. And now it's not just

188
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,080
the line, it's like safety's flying down. It's man coverage.

189
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,919
It's it's Kaiser linebacker. Who did they say sixty nine games?

190
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, how is that possible? Somebody last night was sixty

191
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,080
two as well.

192
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: Good God. Either way, it's it's it's physical toughness at

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,440
every level, but it's it's it's the mental toughness that

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480
is maybe most impressive to me. I mean, we talked

195
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,080
about it going into last night. One of the storylines

196
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,919
surrounding Notre Dame were injuries. They just continue to stack up.

197
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,039
They're down five starters, five very good starters, some even

198
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,120
some of the best in the entire country, and their

199
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:43,120
respect positions. What happens last night at the beginning of

200
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,399
the game. They lose their left tackle. You lose your

201
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:52,440
left tackle when you have Abdul Carter on the other

202
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,799
side of the field, and you still come back from

203
00:09:55,799 --> 00:10:00,519
a ten point deficit and win the game. Mental, physical, toess,

204
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,879
this entire run has been just a massive culture and

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,000
process win for Marcus Freeman. Also, you are seen just

206
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,960
in an age of transient rosters where they're seemingly remade

207
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,159
by the day. You are seeing the value if you

208
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,759
can get guys to buy in long term, because that

209
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:25,200
is the other great strength of this Notre Dame team.

210
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,240
They just have depth and experience. And when I say,

211
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,200
I mean like experience, like so many different guys. They

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,440
flash up their resumes and oh they've they've played in

213
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,879
forty games, they played in fifty games. I mean, hell,

214
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,840
the guy so Nap, the starting left tackle, goes down

215
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:45,759
and the guy they replace him with, Tosh Baker. He's

216
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,600
only played sixty STAPs of the season, but he's played

217
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:51,000
in forty seven career games. So here's a guy who

218
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,679
used to be a starter, he used to play a

219
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,120
lot at least hasn't anymore, and yet stuck around and

220
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:57,360
had his moment and.

221
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: Validate that moment.

222
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: And I don't know, dude, maybe it's got to come

223
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,480
to an adventure, right you can only eat so many

224
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,039
injuries in Texas or Ohio State's coming to who knows.

225
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,279
But I just continue to get tickled watching this Notre

226
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Dame team as they are proving something that I love

227
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,159
in football, the ultimate team sport, a week link sport,

228
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:19,559
which is ultimately the whole, can be greater than the

229
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,519
sum of its parts.

230
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: Think about it.

231
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: Who's the superstar on Notre Dame? Like if you really

232
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:29,879
like college football, maybe you know about Wats, maybe you

233
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:32,360
know about Howard Cross. You know these are all American

234
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,639
level of guys. Maybe you knew about Morrison, the corner

235
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:37,600
who has been out since Vincent's with a hip injury.

236
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,919
But like Ryley, Leonard's not a superstar. Not a lot

237
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,919
of name, Redvan, Jeremiah love Price, none of these guys.

238
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,639
What they are is a team and it's badass to watch.

239
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:55,080
And last night it looked like they were cook. Penn

240
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720
State comes out there, codal Nikki and I gotta be

241
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:02,840
honest with from the Penn State perspective, I actually loved

242
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:05,399
the offensive game plan. I love the play calling. Drew

243
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,039
Aller just didn't execute. He had a couple moments, but

244
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,120
far too often missing throws that he needed to hit.

245
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,279
I mean literally took four points off the board early

246
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,799
on by not hitting that back in the flats correctly

247
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:21,000
throwing it behind him at his knees. Sure, the back

248
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,720
drops it, but the throw is the original sin there

249
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,840
and the main sin the seven turns into three even

250
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,159
if losing by three. Obviously, the pick at the end

251
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,799
speaks for itself. But like for a while there, Penn

252
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,799
State's offense looks so physical and yet creative, right, Colal Nikki's.

253
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,159
Speaker 2: Moving Tyler Warren all around.

254
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,759
Speaker 4: Tyler Warren just looks like a literal giant out there,

255
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:48,240
the mountain that rides you, just bigger, stronger, faster. You

256
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,759
line them with a Corbeck lineup of a receiver, you

257
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,600
throwing them, tunnel screens, you do whatever. And Pinstein is

258
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,799
his offense where it's all running backs, all Titans, and

259
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,879
it's all horizontal but very punchy, very machine like. And

260
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,759
Notre Dame looked like they just weren't going to be

261
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:04,200
able to keep up. They had nothing to speak offensively,

262
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,399
no success to speak of, and defensively they were on

263
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,440
the back heel. But then again, what's the new hip

264
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,639
portion of the game to analyze nowadays? And I don't

265
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,759
mean that as a pejorative. I think it's right that

266
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,919
it's hip, and I think that it's good that we highlighted.

267
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Now the middle eight. We talk about starting, we'll talk

268
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,159
about finishing, but the middle eight, the last four minutes

269
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,000
of the first half, the first four minutes of the

270
00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:32,080
second half, what do you do? And in that moment,

271
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,080
Notre Dame's death shine once again nothing working offensively. Riley

272
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,759
Leonard has to go into the tent for the concussion protocol,

273
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,240
and Steven Jelly, backup quarterback pocket passer, enters the game

274
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:48,600
and it's the uber rare switch up where the backup

275
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,399
is a better thrower than the starter, and all of

276
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,200
a sudden, the Name finally puts together their first successful

277
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:58,720
drive of the game because they can throw the ball

278
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,159
better than they could and they find a way. How

279
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,399
I mean what, we'll get to him because he literally

280
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600
hit the game winning kick. But how about Mitch Jeter

281
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,879
six of twelve in the regular season, dealing with injury,

282
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:13,840
the guys been absolutely nails in the playoffs. You had

283
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,080
to have the field goal before half. Mitch Jeter finds

284
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,159
a way. You had to have it at the end.

285
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,279
He obviously finds a way. So then Jelly comes in,

286
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,039
because of course he does, because all this Not Name

287
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,440
team does is next man up all the way to

288
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,799
the national championship. And then you come out in the

289
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,000
second half and whatever they said at halftime, man sink.

290
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:31,519
Speaker 2: In the middle of eight.

291
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:36,159
Speaker 4: They were locked in double digit drive seventy plus yards.

292
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,000
You run it, you only throw once, you run it

293
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,080
right down. Penn State's throat touchdown tie game three and out.

294
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,840
On the other side, you come back another double digit drive,

295
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:47,919
seventy plus yards touchdown, you up seventeen ten, and at

296
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:51,320
that point it felt like it had completely.

297
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,639
Speaker 2: Flipped.

298
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,519
Speaker 4: But then credit to Penn State finding some reserve of

299
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:02,759
their own, they go down ty seventeen apiece. And here

300
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:10,679
was some classic foreshadowing, Like if you were watching this

301
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,399
in a movie, you would think and it wasn't vote

302
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:17,080
Like if it was an equivalent foreshadowing in a book

303
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
or a movie, you would probably say, ah, that was

304
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,279
a little too obvious. And what I'm talking about is

305
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,399
in seventeen seventeen, Drew Aller throws a swing pass to

306
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Tyler Warren in which he completely locks in on Warren,

307
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,559
despite the fact the entire secondary is guarding him. He

308
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:38,240
is triple covered, and he throws it up to ward

309
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:40,600
in the end zone. It looks like an interception, and

310
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,879
all of a sudden, after Riley Leonard hues interceptions that

311
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,320
he throw, looks like Aler throws one right back only

312
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,960
past interference. And it was past interference, but it didn't

313
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:54,919
need to happen, And what it masked was a god

314
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,720
awful decision by Alan. I mean, he looked like me

315
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,440
on NCAA when I I'm thrown at X unless the

316
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,399
mic drops, and then I snap it.

317
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: The mic drops and I still throw.

318
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: It the X, and I'm like, why, I just told

319
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,320
myself I wasn't.

320
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:10,759
Speaker 2: Gonna do it.

321
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,799
Speaker 4: That's what Drew Rowler did there. And then all of

322
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:17,679
a sudden, okay, PI whatever, touchdown, pin State's up twenty

323
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:20,440
four to seventeen, and okay, okay, wow, look at that.

324
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,399
They looked out. They're good to go. But then how

325
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,600
about Great House, a man with one touchdown on the year, Alandra,

326
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:29,559
I saw you tweeting about him. A man Great House

327
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,519
snatch two sets of ankles on the way to the

328
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,279
end zone. I mean, just absolutely fantastic. Off the line,

329
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,600
he breaks Old Boy down and then once he catches

330
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:41,799
the ball, he puts the safety un skates as well.

331
00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:44,759
Speaker 2: Twenty four twenty four.

332
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: And then Alan, foreshadowing the same bad decision that led

333
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,600
to the pick that was not a pick thanks to

334
00:16:55,639 --> 00:17:00,399
the PI, another similarly bad decision ends up giving Notre

335
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,759
Dame Life a chance to win the game. And of

336
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:06,079
course Riley Leonard comes through because Riley Leonard is a gamer,

337
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,279
and I don't mean a gamer in terms of somebody

338
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,319
who practices bad but plays good. I mean a gamer

339
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,799
in terms of who makes the play when in the

340
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,880
big moments in the play is on the line. That's

341
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:20,000
what Riley Leonard does. I mean, think about the third

342
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,720
and two in that winning field goal drive where he

343
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:24,079
scrambles around and creates extra time, then he dumps it

344
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:31,759
for the first down. Just fantastic, fantastic stuff from the Irish.

345
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:34,920
And then you know what I call uh Jeter's final kick.

346
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,039
It's the old crossing the street kick right, left, right

347
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,599
and left again. What a wild flight path that thing took,

348
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,200
considering the narrative that was the wind beneath that football's wings.

349
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:53,440
Are you going to the championship? Are you going to

350
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:55,359
otway championship?

351
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: Ot?

352
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 4: And then curls back the championship in the end.

353
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: What a gay? Like Miles once said, what a game?

354
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:03,759
What a game?

355
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: Kiss him on the Mouth only aired twenty five. I

356
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,039
don't care if you're a boy or girl, because all

357
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:16,160
these Notre Dame players and staff and trainers and equipment

358
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,319
managers top to bottom, deserve to be kissed on the

359
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,720
mouth for the run that they have been on in

360
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:27,480
these playoffs to beat Indiana Georgia and Penn State, all

361
00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:36,000
while getting more hurt along the way. Unreal, unreal. Now

362
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:39,640
we do have to talk about the Penn State angle,

363
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,000
but we were out of time for this first segment.

364
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:42,240

398
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: What do we do on New Year's e?

399
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:10,759
Speaker 7: I was.

400
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 5: I texted the group, I said happy New Year's Eve,

401
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,279
love y'all, and nobody said anything.

402
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:21,559
Speaker 3: What true? I don't even remember that.

403
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: It's probably true.

404
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: That's true. That's incredible.

405
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: I think I think, I think I responded the next day.

406
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:29,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't think I gotta love you back.

407
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,319
Speaker 2: Yes you did.

408
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:41,759
Speaker 9: I don't think so. Well, I'll check I do.

409
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 5: You don't have to do some scrolling if you're really looking.

410
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm not looking right now, Okay. I was like, no,

411
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:47,880
I'm gonna look in, I'm gonna look out.

412
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,559
Speaker 3: During the commercial break, man Eric Charles has the right

413
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,319
idea to Bobby, says, I think I might need to

414
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,480
call my middle school girlfriend right now. That's what you

415
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:57,640
do to this song. Yeah, you were asking me what

416
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,960
I'm gonna do in Victoria's hotel. She keeps playing nick

417
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,640
back middle school Gef's getting a call.

418
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:08,279
Speaker 4: Okay, that's one of the probably worst things I would

419
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:13,440
I recommend that looking back here to otb. All right,

420
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:15,440
let's kind of close the book in last night's game,

421
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,240
so obviously, so you know, there's the old sports mantra

422
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:27,759
thrill of victory, agony of defeat, and I don't it's

423
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:31,240
true in every game to a certain extent, but in

424
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:34,839
some games it is more true than others. And my god,

425
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,799
you want to talk about the thrill of victory. Marcus

426
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,359
Freeman from losing North Illinois earlier this year, only his

427
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,160
third year as a coach only thirty eight years old,

428
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,559
in validating everybody who bet on him.

429
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: Agony of defeat.

430
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: Though maybe nobody's feeling it greater than Jimmy Franks right now.

431
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:59,440
As I said it yesterday with James Franklin, it sucks

432
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:03,920
for him because they get that this is a very

433
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,759
good season objectively the Penn State had.

434
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:12,319
Speaker 2: But even though they.

435
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,279
Speaker 4: Won two playoff games, you know what kind of sucks,

436
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,759
it really wasn't that different of a season from what

437
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:23,960
we've seen Penn State do because once again, unfortunately you remember,

438
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,240
as some of you and Boise not top five teams.

439
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:31,839
Once again, unfortunately, every time they ran into a top

440
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,920
five team, they did not pass the test.

441
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: And last night, again.

442
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:40,519
Speaker 4: Where you had so much opportunity, you almost found ways

443
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,559
to lose that game. So, if you're a Penn State

444
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:52,079
fan and you fathom the mental pretzels you're having to

445
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,039
deal with today as you try to convince yourself, wait,

446
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,119
this was still a good season. Du Roler is still

447
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,240
a good quarterback. James Franklin still led us to the

448
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,519
playoffs in two playoff wins. He played in a Big

449
00:24:01,559 --> 00:24:09,960
Ten championship. But it just feels eerily similar to all

450
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,880
the frustrations of recent memory.

451
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: Mm hm hmm.

452
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: Good luck, Jimmy, good luck. But I got last thoughts

453
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,279
to the game last night again. I think it was

454
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,279
an instant classic toughness. I love that all the superstars

455
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,039
showed up right, Abdul.

456
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: Carter was great.

457
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:30,599
Speaker 4: That Jeremiah Love touchdown run on the goal line. You're

458
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:32,920
going to talk about being indicative of the toughness and

459
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,119
the finding the will to win, just somehow find a

460
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,400
way the end zone, all injured to all hell.

461
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: Just awesome.

462
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: Judge me off her three James Raglans one and seventeen

463
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,240
against the top five teams.

464
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:52,559
Speaker 2: I've been said, now, I know Chris Andrey.

465
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: Anybody think Markus Streeman's interviews are a little cringes It

466
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:58,200
just me his interviews give a hard for flirting bribe. No,

467
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:01,039
it's just se I don't think he's cringe. I think

468
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,839
I think he's solid, Like I said, just the leader

469
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,960
of men. It's tough and look, it's it's it's it's

470
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,759
it's a tough day for BK. In all honesty, I'm

471
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:17,119
sure there's a portion of him that's happy for some

472
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,960
of his maybe former players or associates.

473
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,279
Speaker 9: Uh, but.

474
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: You broke up with Notre Dame, saying it's not me,

475
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:33,640
it's you and this new hotnail young thing down there. Ben,

476
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:39,960
I know what she can do. Only the people you

477
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,519
just broke up with are now doing what you thought

478
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,640
she could do. And she's not doing it. You're not

479
00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:48,200
doing it. Wait, would am I the problem? That's kind

480
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,200
of what PK's having asked himself. I think probably a

481
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,319
little bit this morning. Also, you brought up with Mike

482
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:57,640
dem Brock, and here Mike dem Brock is in a

483
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,480
national championship a year after leading the best off. It's

484
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:05,039
in America. So it's a it's it's it's it's a

485
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:08,599
moment of reflection. I think for a lot for for

486
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:12,440
for that entire decision and everything that he had maybe

487
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:16,119
convinced himself of what was or was not possible at

488
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Notre Dame.

489
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: But uh, what a game. I hope.

490
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 4: I hope Texas Ohio State is just as awesome.

491
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

492
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 4: I don't.

493
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: I think it should be.

494
00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:31,839
Speaker 4: Again, like we talked about, I think Texas matches up

495
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,640
as well with Ohio State as anybody could. I think

496
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,000
if Texas were to win the game, I would probably

497
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,240
favor Notre Dame in the championship. If Ohio State wins,

498
00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:47,359
I'm kind of gonna favor Hot State, especially if they

499
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,559
win handily like they have these first two games. And

500
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:51,799
that's maybe where it can become depressing, right is because

501
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,799
Ohio State is kind of the antithesis and Texas in

502
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:56,960
a lot of ways, both represent the antithesis of.

503
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,759
Speaker 2: What Notre Dame is.

504
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 4: The Notame has money in this team as well, don't

505
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,759
get that twisted, but not the same amount like in

506
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:07,119
the highest state of Texas, and they're all very superstar

507
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:10,799
laden with big names, and they're flashy and finesse and fast,

508
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:14,599
where again, Notre Dame is kind of nameless, faceless and tough.

509
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,359
And we'll see who that ends up working out for. Honestly, night,

510
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,759
all I'm hoping for is a good game. I think

511
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:24,160
Ohio State wins in a close one final thought, final thoughts,

512
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,599
and we'll not talk about these anymore.

513
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: Again. Like you said, if this lives up to the

514
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:32,559
first game, uh, wearing for a hell of a matchup tonight,

515
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:34,000
and I think I think that's what we're going to get.

516
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:36,960
I think that, you know, when everybody looked at these matchups,

517
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,119
like when I when I saw the Texas and Ohio

518
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,039
State was playing. I was like, that'd be a really

519
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,839
good national championship matchup. Like, I'm excited about that one.

520
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,400
I'm actually going to pick the winner of Ohio State

521
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,359
Texas to win the national Championship. No disrespect to Notre Dame.

522
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,680
I just I just I like what I've seen from

523
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,799
Texas and Ohio Who Notre Dame. Yeah, I picked them

524
00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:57,960
to win the game yesterday. I mean I think that.

525
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:00,480
I think they're a really good team. I just Ohio

526
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,480
State and Texas are a little bit more right now,

527
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:06,440
that could be completely incorrect. Ohio, I mean Notre Dame

528
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,359
looked like they really well coached team. Last night. You

529
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,960
were talking about the Jeremiah Love run. I saw that,

530
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:12,720
you know what, I thought, that looks like a Nick

531
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,160
Saban coach team. Alabama used to do that all the

532
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,079
time when he was there. I mean, they always knew

533
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,000
where the first down marker was, they knew where they

534
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,279
had to get. They would extend the ball. That was that.

535
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,599
I mean, that was, like you said, like as bad

536
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:25,759
of a day it is for Penn State, it might

537
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:27,759
be worse for Brian Kelly because not only did they

538
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:30,640
win they won because they were better coach. Yeah, offensive

539
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,720
play college in the entire run, toughness with Marcus Freeman

540
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,480
was excellent. Like that's why they won this game.

541
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,079
Speaker 4: The entire run is a culture win for Freeman because

542
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:42,880
they keep getting hurt and they keep overcoming. Hell, they

543
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,720
even had flu working through the team. Hell, they got

544
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:49,319
seven days of rest to Penn State's nine going into

545
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:49,920
this game.

546
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:53,799
Speaker 3: Well, and we talked about it yesterday like Okay, whichever

547
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:55,640
team's going to be able to run the ball better

548
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,759
is going to win this game. Nope, shows how much

549
00:28:57,799 --> 00:28:59,559
we know, Like that's that's not what happened. It was

550
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,279
Notre Dame ability to throw the ball. Yeah, so Penn

551
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:05,599
State ran for two hundred yards. Notre Dame threw the

552
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,240
ball for two hundred and sixty seven yards last night.

553
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you would have told me that Allen and

554
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,519
Singleton would have gone for an over eighty apiece, I'd

555
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,440
definitely thought that Penn State wins that game.

556
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, but like Riley Leonard, you put it in the

557
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,559
dock earlier, you didn't mentioned it, like his ability to

558
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,279
fall forward and these runs, like okay, third and down.

559
00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:26,920
Efficiency in this game, Notre Dame was eleven of seventeen

560
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,119
on third down, Penn State was three for eleven because

561
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,440
Riley Leonard on third and three or less got the

562
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,319
ball every single time and he fell forward every single

563
00:29:35,319 --> 00:29:36,720
time and kept moving the chains. I mean, it was

564
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:37,440
huge in the game.

565
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 4: And the thing is, Leonard is never gonna beat you

566
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,319
with his arm on a play to play basis this

567
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:46,000
entire Notre Dame offense. Just they're gonna beat you into

568
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,440
submission and then they have to do enough through the

569
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,839
air to keep you honest and kind of make you

570
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,519
respect it. And Leonard's been so good in that role,

571
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:59,079
even with making two big airs last night, Like if

572
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:00,720
he makes those against a as they take that, you're

573
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,240
not gonna win those games. So he has to clean

574
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,720
that up. But I do love the mental ability to

575
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:08,960
flush and then make the plays afterwards. Really good game,

576
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:11,440
and my god, you know it's funny with how sports works.

577
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:14,000
I think this just cranks up so even more pressure

578
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,160
somehow on that LSU Clipson game to start next year.

579
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:21,559
You better freaking win, dude. You have to win that game.

580
00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: All right.

581
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:30,759

00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:17,000
I heard you got a new lasting name. Sure didn't

609
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:20,720
know it was gonna hit me this way.

610
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:24,759
Speaker 4: And the radio and just keep something.

611
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:27,559
Speaker 2: All these songs about.

612
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 9: The rat turkey.

613
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,519
Speaker 10: Now, there's all kinds of songs about babies and.

614
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,759
Speaker 2: A love that go was a rise.

615
00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:49,599
Speaker 10: Hell yeah, but for someone noon reason, nobody wants to

616
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,400
play them tonight.

617
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 4: Welcome back to OTB appropriate morning for such a song. Yeah,

618
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,920
if you're if this song is hitting you in a

619
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,759
way today you're feeling some type of way, just lean

620
00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:04,160
into it.

621
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:04,359
Speaker 2: Man.

622
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes when you're said now, you never want to spend

623
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,279
too much time leaning into it, right, But when you

624
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:15,640
initially get sad about something, there's definitely something to be

625
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,720
said for wallowing in it, processing in it, basking it,

626
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:22,279
and allowing yourself to feel a bit.

627
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 9: Lean again.

628
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: You know who was not crying or who was crying?

629
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,559
I should have said who was crying? We're Tennessee fans.

630
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:40,519
Last night, as for the third time in a row,

631
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:46,359
the LSU Tigers go into Knoxville and beat the legendary

632
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:49,880
Lady Ball's basketball team. In fact, they're only the second

633
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,839
program in NCAA history to ever win three in a

634
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,799
row in Knoxville. Mississippi State did it from seventeen to twenty.

635
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,880
But a game that ultimately, I mean probably look up

636
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,599
the highlights right because a lot of y'all are probably

637
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:10,480
watching the college will playoff. But the a game that

638
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,800
lived up to everything that Coach Molkey talked about. You

639
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,320
saw that off kilter style that Tennessee runs with their

640
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:24,079
straight up hockey line shifts, subbing entire units in and

641
00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:27,519
out to keep fresh legs and keep the pace at

642
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:31,880
just breakneck level. We said there was gonna be a

643
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,920
lot of scoring. Well, the game ends eighty nine, eighty seven,

644
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
and here is the highlight of the night. We've talked

645
00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:41,360
about Kaylen Gilbert so much this year. She has emerged

646
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,320
as one of the premier parts of this team, a

647
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,960
scorer who has a chip on her shoulder. Everybody try

648
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,199
to tell coach Molkey don't recruiter, she's a bad ad,

649
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,320
cancer in the locker room, she's a bad teammate. Well,

650
00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:56,360
it ain't been the case down here in ben Rouge

651
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,119
and once again, Coach Molkey just continues to blow me away,

652
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,039
not just with her ability to lead, to motivate, to recruit,

653
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:09,320
but her strategic acumen. Last night, going small something she's

654
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,320
uncomfortable with. She loves post players. She talks with the

655
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,559
value of the post all the time. Well, she gets

656
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:16,639
outside of her comfort zone because she thinks it's the

657
00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:19,320
best path to victory last night, and Kaylen Gilbert, Flage

658
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,559
and company make her correct and shout out to Anissamara.

659
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,199
Twenty three points twenty one rebounds, the ninetieth double double

660
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,760
of her career. She is now third all time on

661
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,280
that list. Twenty three points, twenty one boards and so

662
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,199
here it is final possession of the game.

663
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: Eighty seven.

664
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: I want this with audio guys eighty seven eighty seven

665
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:50,239
and Kaylen Gilbert as the ball. You mean, Gilbert driving

666
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,159
in goes got it? No play that again, just keep

667
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:58,679
that plane and uh and then you get you commute.

668
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,920
I wish it would have left a little more on

669
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,440
the front end because the other angle we'll see and

670
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,039
you can pull up the other angle whenever as well.

671
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:07,440
The other angle you'll see, the initial crossover kind of

672
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,239
has the fake crossed. The crossover that she pulls, she

673
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,440
blows by the defender. Here it is blows by the defender,

674
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:17,880
cross the legs and then the it amidst the trees

675
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,079
down there, the smooth in air switch to the left hand,

676
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,679
finishing perfect, not by accident, not luck. I was talking

677
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,320
to with coach Molgi this morning. That is something that

678
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,719
she was adamant about. That ain't luck. That is practice.

679
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,719
That is hours upon hours in the gym. She works

680
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,800
on her left hand every single day. And here's the

681
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,800
baseline view. What a finish that's to go up eighty

682
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,280
nine to eighty seven, one point seven seconds left. LSU wins,

683
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:51,320
LSU remains undefeated. Shout out KG, Shout out coach Molky,

684
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,679
Shout out this legendary LSU women's basketball team. What is

685
00:36:56,679 --> 00:36:56,920
it now?

686
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: Eighteen and zero?

687
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I know an sec play.

688
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,079
Speaker 4: And they'll be coming up on I think Monday. Is

689
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,519
it at Missoo or at home against Miszoo unt?

690
00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: Same is Monday though?

691
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,159
Speaker 9: Uh?

692
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: What a what a play though? What a play man?

693
00:37:11,679 --> 00:37:15,639
Speaker 4: I just like so they always talk about Gilbert being coach.

694
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,519
Speaker 2: Mogi said this multiple times this year.

695
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 4: That she may host Vanderbilt Monday Vanderbilt. I'll just pleat

696
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,639
you wrong and everything great. Coach Mogy talks about this though,

697
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,960
How about Kayley Gilbert is one of the best natural

698
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,000
scores she's ever seen, and that highlight is why you

699
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:37,480
can't You you can practice things like that, but the

700
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:42,719
natural athletic intuition to feel that play out and to

701
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,960
feel that finish.

702
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,199
Speaker 2: Out is almost something that you have to be born with.

703
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: Now, maybe you have to be bored with that intuition,

704
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:54,519
but without hard work, it means nothing. So what you

705
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:59,159
see encapsulated in that single highlight is God given ability

706
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:02,039
that you should always be thankful for, but mixed with

707
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:05,119
a heavy measure and even more so because of just

708
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,000
hard ass work in the gym every single day.

709
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: Malki said it on her coaching show Tuesday night. Kaylen

710
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,920
Gilbert's already the best natural scorer on this team. Yeah,

711
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,360
and think about that. Like Floje Johnson, MICHAELA. Williams and

712
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,480
Anissa Moro can get buckets, but can Maulki trust her.

713
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,239
I mean, look what she did. She put the hands

714
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
in the game in the hands of her at the

715
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:26,880
last shot.

716
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: I mean that's well, that is your second game season

717
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:31,119
you right, She did in the Bahamas earlier as well.

718
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,679
Speaker 2: So shout out KG legend.

719
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 4: All right, when we get back, wrap it up our

720
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,719
one O O TV off the bench, go Tommy's dot com.

722
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,679
side and you're gonna see the difference clearly. Okay, Tommy's windows,

725
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,679

00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960
You want to put porch screens or patio covers in there?

727
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,280
We got you covered there. And the best part is

728
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,559

00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:08,599

730
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:10,280
and he can show you the options, give you an

731
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,840
idea of maybe what you should be looking for. You

732

775
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,079
series that Hunt is doing, and well another incredibly exciting

776
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:47,360
one as today we're talking about Barry and Brown.

777
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: And if you are.

778
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 4: Talking about which portal edition you are most excited about,

779
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,280
and you were to answer Barry and Brown, I would

780
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,400
say you are well within your rights to do so.

781
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Listen to what Barry and Brown is done thus far

782
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:03,960
in his career. First off, when he originally showed up

783
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,880
to Kentucky, it was a massive recruiting win for Mark

784
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,320
Soots Kentucky. This guy who's the number three recruit in

785
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,119
all of Tennessee. He was a consensus four star, incredibly fast,

786
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:19,599
six to one five true true lightning speed. Last year

787
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,199
led the Wildcats fifty catches six twenty eight. Seems pedestrian

788
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,559
until you understand that Kentucky's offense was god awful. How

789
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:30,960
about this little nugget from Hunt against Uga very good defense.

790
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,880
Ten catches for one forty five. So a player who

791
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,199
put his best foot forward when it mattered most. Actually,

792
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,719
was he the one that caught the ball against Ole

793
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,519
Miss as well? Down the sideline? Was that bearing Brown?

794
00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 3: It was either him or Dane Key? It was one

795
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:44,519
of them.

796
00:42:44,599 --> 00:42:46,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was one of my I'm not not sure

797
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:49,519
which one. Uh, he also and and and so. Look

798
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:53,719
so just as a pure receiver, his potential is massive.

799
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:58,480
Like you talk about world class speed, He's he's faster,

800
00:42:58,559 --> 00:43:00,320
He's as fast as he might on the field, if

801
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,079
not faster. And if he did fifty catches for six

802
00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:06,679
to twenty eight in that offense, and now he has

803
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,280
Cortes hanked and he has Garrettusemeyer, well what he can

804
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,760
do in this offense becomes obviously very exciting. But maybe

805
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,840
nothing more exciting than about Barry Brown than the fact

806
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,400
that he was a first team All American kick returner.

807
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,119
This is a man who led the nation in kick

808
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:27,079
return touchdowns, a man who had three kick return touchdowns

809
00:43:27,079 --> 00:43:33,440
in a single season, four for his career a man

810
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,000
who holds the already holds the SEC record for kick

811
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:41,239
return touchdowns in a career of four tied for the record.

812
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,119
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll become sole holder at the end of the season.

813
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,199
Speaker 4: So look, maybe there's like a man Sword Delayne that

814
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,360
you're very excited about. Or yesterday we broke down.

815
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: From Floridam Jackson.

816
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jeef Jackson kind of run my own portal

817
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,280
series by not even remember yesterday's portal breakdown. I just

818
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,440
could have remember his name, guys, quarterback Florida. You know that,

819
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,320
like there are other names out there. I don't know

820
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,880
though that any and again Man Sword of Lane, very

821
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,119
proven player, Braylan very proven. I don't know if there's

822
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:18,679
a more proven player than Barry Brown. And he's at

823
00:44:18,679 --> 00:44:22,840
a sexy position where you're gonna notice him immediately all

824
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,480
of a sudden. Oh yeah, you better kick that ball

825
00:44:25,519 --> 00:44:28,320
out of bounds. You better be able to do what

826
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,480
Aaron Burrell does every time, because if you don't, you're

827
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,320
gonna be putting the ball into one of the most

828
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,920
electric playmakers in the entire country, and you're gonna be

829
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,840
giving it to him in space. Huge weapon, huge pickup.

830
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,400
Great addition by this LSU staff in Barry and Brown

831
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,239
in great portal profile by our friend Hudd Palmer at

832
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,880
Louisiana Sports. Do that any thoughts on Brown? Guys, you

833
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,719
were talking about here for your return kicks.

834
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 3: You were talking about him as a receiver, Like that's

835
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,519
the thing for years we've been trying to say, Oh,

836
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:01,760
LSU has nobody in the turn game. Now you kind

837
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,079
of have like a problem as to who's going to

838
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:06,599
be your returner, right, Yeah, Aaron Anderson has the kickoff

839
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:09,960
return against Oklahoma, Xavion Thomas has won in the bowl game.

840
00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:12,039
You bring him Barry and Brown, who's like one of

841
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:14,679
the best ever in the SEC. Like you almost have

842
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:17,199
an embarrassment of riches. Now it's like the opposite of

843
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:19,119
the other problem you used to have. Like that's that's

844
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:21,199
the most impressive thing to me is how this staff

845
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,559
is turned around the special teams.

846
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. I forgot, I forgot. I

847
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,800
need to I need I actually still need to watch

848
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,760
the film from the bowl games. I'd forgotten about the

849
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,039
kick return. I forgot that we were treated to two

850
00:45:31,159 --> 00:45:36,360
kick returns here here here recently. Yes, well, he was

851
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,639
just solid all season.

852
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,599
Speaker 2: Brown, Thomas Brown.

853
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah he was I agree.

854
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 2: I agree.

855
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 4: So it was great to see him break through in

856
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,599
the way that you kind of felt like he was

857
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:50,880
knocking on the door all year long. Either way, like

858
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,880
Taylor said, that is a cash of weapons with which

859
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,599
to point at the enemy. Hour or two of O

860
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,599
