1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: Let's all start to what you want to present? Some

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,400
off the bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,199
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, off the bench with Jacob

4
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:11,000
Hester and T.

5
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:13,519
Speaker 3: Bob Abert. I got to come off the pitch.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 4: Now here's Jacob Hester and T.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 5: Bob Abert.

8
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:18,879
Speaker 3: What up y'all?

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: An hour or two about TV here on this Chili Monday.

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,440
Happy Martin Luther King Day. Everyone out there. If you

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,120
are on the roads this morning, stay safe. I don't

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,879
think the roads are. They didn't feel crazy or anything

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,759
coming in, but I suppose ice as possible. I don't

14
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,119
know what they're actually telling you today. I'm sorry, Uh,

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,079
just just stay safe, stay warmed. Okay, no matter no

16
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,000
matter what they're telling you. Let's dive in to a

17
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,920
little Saints coaching search as it is mon as of

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,880
this Monday, now, the Saints will start conducting in person interviews.

19
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,000
Now that uh the the if you're a coaching no

20
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,600
longer coaching in the playoff, so you can now come

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,399
in for an interview.

22
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: So in what happened over the weekend.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,799
Speaker 1: On Saturday, they did an in person interview with Darren Rizzy,

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,959
so Rizzy getting his time in front of leadership layout,

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,959
an exact player, and here's gonna change here what I

26
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,640
do again, I think he remains kind of on the

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,439
outside looking.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,159
Speaker 3: In in this case.

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,359
Speaker 1: They did a virtual interview with Joe Brady on Saturday.

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,239
They did a virtual interview with Kellen Moore on Saturday.

31
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:30,439
Speaker 3: Now, as we.

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Mentioned before, Cliff Kingsbury has said I'm not doing any interviews,

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,920
virtual or otherwise until this playoff run is over. He

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,959
wants to be completely locked in with Jayden Daniels and

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,040
him and Jane Daniels are in.

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,439
Speaker 3: A flow state right now.

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,159
Speaker 1: And for what it's worth, it's kind of exciting to

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,120
have Kingsbury, Brady and more all in conference championship games, however,

39
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,640
and may potentially hold them out of the running. As

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,959
Kellen Moore has now said that while he did the

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,200
virtual interview, he's going to wait to do any others

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,799
until he gets through his own playoff run. And where

43
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,360
that becomes interesting with the timing is that now kind

44
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,360
of unexpectedly, guys Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn are completely

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,240
available and are likely the next dominoes to fall in

46
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,039
terms of who hires them.

47
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Now. Of course, Aaron Glynn has felt like this entire time.

48
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: He's more on the Saints' radar, but maybe Ben Johnson

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,039
is as well. My question to you is, if one

50
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:35,719
of these guys you know wants to come here, do

51
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:39,400
you make a move on these guys without interviewing the others?

52
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:41,879
If they come in for an in person interview and

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,960
they blow you away?

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you do.

55
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: I think at this point in the hiring process, like

56
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,719
you know, if you have a Brady or a Glenn

57
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:51,439
and they want the job, and you think it's the

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280
right gun hiring, why not now?

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: The timing on Aaron Glynn, I believe is especially interesting.

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,479
And I was talking to the Cannon and was a

61
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,719
bit surprised. He is firmly not on the Aaron Glenn bandwagon.

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,159
He's kind of a McCarthy first guy. He likes Kellen

63
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,199
Moore second Taylor as the resident cowboy fan. How do

64
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280
you feel about Kellen Moore? A bit of a complicated

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680
time between him and McCarthy and Dallas.

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, And I mean, you know, I was

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,400
talking with Flynn about this when he was in last week.

68
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,319
He's had in the McCarthy ring, as I've done multiple

69
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,879
times as well. Dallas's offense was better after you moved

70
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,360
on from McCarthy, I mean from Kellen Moore.

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 4: He wasn't great with.

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: The Chargers either, so that's two bad notches on his belt.

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,159
But he's done a really good job with the Eagles.

74
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,680
We were just talking about him earlier, so maybe it

75
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:44,520
was one of those things where you know, he got

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,479
the gig in Dallas maybe a little bit before he

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,719
was ready. He's done some nice things, like would I

78
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,840
want the Cowboys to hire him? No, just because it

79
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,520
wasn't great there as an offensive coordinator, But I mean

80
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,800
he's certainly drawn a lot.

81
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Of interests in a lot of some Cowboys juice right now,

82
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,000
I believes one of the favorite for the Cowboys.

83
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: The three that they've interviewed, so the three that they

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,199
have formally interviewed is Kellen Moore, Robert Salin, Leslie Fraser.

85
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: Those are the three that they have formally interviewed.

86
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: But let's talk about.

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Glynn here, because at a time when we're talking

88
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,319
about reputation being built over lifetime torn down in a day,

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,120
how much do you let one bad game affect how

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,720
you feel about Aaron Glynn? Because you can look up

91
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,279
and you can see a Commander team dominate offensively thirty

92
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
eight offensive points in that game, and a must have

93
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:40,279
it game. And it's a really low moments, none lower

94
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:43,480
than twelve men on the field on a fourth and

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,360
two game on the line coming out of a timeout.

96
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:54,920
A painful Renaissance painting slow motion shot of Kelvin Shepherd

97
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:59,360
looking hapless on the sideline as he's desperately yelling at

98
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,399
the personnel for someone to get off the field because

99
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,199
he knows that they have twelve. But yeah, so in

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,639
case you missed it, fourth to two, right, Commander's trying

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,120
to put away the game. If they get it, they're

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,639
gonna they're gonna put it away. And it's out of

103
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,240
a time out in the lines of twelve minute a field,

104
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,920
they give them the first down. No, no, now, Jay

105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,959
Daniels playing the day, he probably would have very calmly

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,000
just converted.

107
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,079
Speaker 3: But still so.

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: A really bad moment, a bad day. But overall, this

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,920
is a Lion's defense that has been more injured than

110
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:33,439
anybody thirty different players, over thirty different players started for

111
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:38,720
the Detroit Lions this year. Defensively, I think twenty something

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,240
went on injured reserve. Now, if you're a Saints fan,

113
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:47,079
you can appreciate a multitude of injuries like that because

114
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:51,160
it's very akin to what you went through this season. However,

115
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:54,560
look at the differing results, right, This was a New

116
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:58,319
Orleans Sames team that completely foundered and then used injuries

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,759
as an excuse all year long.

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,519
Speaker 3: Despite the fact that they had.

119
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: A complete revolving door week in and week out. In Detroit,

120
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:08,360
this was still a top five, top ten defense in

121
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:14,199
most categories. So I would be I think there's a

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,480
couple of things to play here. I think when you're

123
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:20,399
on a stage like that, right, and if you're a

124
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,360
New Orleans Saints fan and you just watch the Saints mainland,

125
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,839
you kind of keep up with the NFL just to

126
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,319
osmosis and everything else. You're watching highlights, you're not watching

127
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,800
like a ton of Lions games. I mean, I would

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560
fall into that category, right someday I just watched the

129
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Saints a lot of times. It's kind of my day

130
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:38,360
to just get away from football in some ways. But

131
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,360
so if you're not watching the Lions week in and

132
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:43,160
week out, and then you finally show up and you've

133
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,959
been hearing for weeks, okay, Like, is Aaron Glenn get

134
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:47,639
you know, he's a very good leaders put together a

135
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,600
good defense, like he's let's let's.

136
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:51,439
Speaker 3: See what our guys got.

137
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: And so you're on the big stage and it goes

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,519
this poorly, Well, that's going to cause a lot of

139
00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:00,639
people to have kind of knee jerk Oh nope, don't

140
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,199
want Tom can have him sort of opinions.

141
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,959
Speaker 3: I would hope, though, and would guess.

142
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: And I believe assume that that would not extend to

143
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:15,600
the New Orleans Saints' front office, because I think nothing

144
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,720
could be worse than like, if you loved this guy

145
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,759
and you really now we don't know, there's conflicting reports.

146
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:24,519
Is is MacArthur, the guy is Glenn the guy is

147
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:28,639
it's somebody else. We don't know on the Saints have

148
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,079
done a good job of kind of muddy in the

149
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,600
waters in that regard. But if you loved this guy

150
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:37,040
going into that championship, even though it was a bad day,

151
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:41,040
I still think you gotta love him. Plus five turnovers

152
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,079
including a pick six, Like you're putting so much pressure

153
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,920
on the defense at that point. Now credit It's not

154
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:55,920
like they came up with many stops anyway. But I

155
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,199
I guess, I guess this is a roundabout way of

156
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,920
saying that everything I believed about Aaron Glenn going into

157
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,000
this game still holds true. I love what he did

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,399
with this Lions defense despite being dealt an absolutely awful

159
00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:12,720
hand this season. I love what I've heard anecdotally about

160
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,680
his leadership and how he's been such a key part

161
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:22,040
of rebuilding this Lion's franchise. I think the intimate knowledge

162
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,279
of a rebuild that he was just a key part

163
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,800
of would play very well with the rebuild here in

164
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:32,039
New Orleans. I think about guys that the these NFL

165
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,559
men would want to follow, and in Aaron Glenn, you

166
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480
see someone who's done it before as a player, as

167
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,799
a coach working his way up the ranks.

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: And so yes, was Saturday Night a bad time?

169
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But I don't think it takes away from any

170
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,000
of Aaron Glenn's strengths that originally had me, you know,

171
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240
at times during this during this search, feeling like he

172
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,240
would be my number one choice. Now, if you are

173
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,440
not an Aaron Glenn fan, then obviously this is just

174
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:10,080
going to intensify those those feelings. But I still would

175
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,080
be very happy if the New Orleans, like I'd be

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440
happy with McCarthy I'd be happy with Glenn and then

177
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,320
kind of the lottery ticket offensive guys. I'm not sure

178
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,799
they all kind of feel the same to me a

179
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:28,879
little bit. If you were to look at like Joe Brady,

180
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:32,879
Cliff Kingsbury, Kellen Moore, it's like, Okay, yeah, Joe Brady's

181
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:34,639
done really well, but you want to have Josh Allen,

182
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,159
you know, which maybe unfair to them. But Kellen Moore

183
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:39,559
has done really good, but you don't got to say

184
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:48,919
Kwon Barkley. Maybe the ultimate example would be, oh, who

185
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:53,519
I mentioned more Brady, Oh Kingsbury, Right, Yeah, Kingsbury's great,

186
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,840
but you don't have Jaden Daniels.

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,759
Speaker 3: Right, So.

188
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Glenn and McCarthy maybe feel like safer options. There we

189
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,559
do have, And I thought Underhill made a good point

190
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:10,720
when speaking about how one game be careful taking too

191
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,399
much away. I mean, dan Quinn gave up forty eight

192
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,120
points his last game with the Cowboys, and now dan

193
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,840
Quinn is going back to a conference championship game, back

194
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,159
to the NFC title game.

195
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,279
Speaker 3: Like he's a good coach. You can have bad days.

196
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: There is, still, though, an interesting dark horse in all

197
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,399
of this. The Saints are flying in Mike Kofka for

198
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,519
a second interview tomorrow will a snow effect.

199
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: We'll have to wait and see.

200
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: But remember this is the Giants OC and assistant head coach,

201
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:48,440
and again deeply on exciting on the surface. But he

202
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,919
has been a finalist for three jobs now in the

203
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:55,080
past two cycles, which tells you I think two things.

204
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: One he must.

205
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:58,879
Speaker 1: Interview very well, which you can argue is a skill

206
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:02,759
in and of itself, and secondly that he's probably highly

207
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,279
thought of in insider circles.

208
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: Right that. I imagine if you're at the bar.

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,519
Speaker 1: With a front office executive and you talk about Mike Kafka,

210
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,200
I imagine the conversations that take place, or like the

211
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,080
guy's sharp, the guy's great, You know, you can't judge

212
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,519
them too hard about what's going on New York. New

213
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,200
York's a disaster. Dame zose as to get rid of

214
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Saquon Barkley. But Kafka, like that guy's a riser. I

215
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:27,080
would have to imagine, because otherwise I can't see why

216
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,399
he keeps getting these extended look and getting finalists in

217
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,759
all these races. Beyond Mike Cofka flying in for an

218
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,399
in person interview tomorrow, we will give you the news

219
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,919
as soon as you know on Aaron Glenn and companies.

220
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,679
So the Saints continuing to search. But I guess the

221
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:49,480
main takeaways here starting today in person interviews with the

222
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,080
coach of that out of playoffs and Ben Johnson Aaron

223
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,759
Glenn now available, what will happen? Could the New Orleans

224
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,639
Saints will then have a coach by the end of

225
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:00,639
the week or do you kind of off and wait

226
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
on some of these lottery ticket ocs we will see

227
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,840
coming up next to you on OTB it is the

228
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,039
national championship they guys, that's right?

229
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: Maybe college football?

230
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,639
Speaker 1: Who it's finally here championship coming to it in a

231
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:20,120
championship featuring two Midwest teams playing in Atlanta. More coming

232

Speaker 6: Clash Bye Clash, Bye Clash Bye.

253
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,799
Speaker 4: Welcome in to the best morning sports.

254
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 6: This show around off the bench with Ester and T Bob.

255
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: She don't believe this suit and stop. Wes Row says,

256
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,240
get you.

257
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's like drafting a D three to zero line

258
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,879
with a blown ACL in the first round would be

259
00:13:58,879 --> 00:13:59,600
a Saints move.

260
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: I am u uh he's Sean Payne.

261
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,919
Speaker 1: So again, yeah, I mean again. I absolutely underwoll and

262
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,960
Mike Tomlin. Yeah, only with slightly better resume overall. But

263
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,639
I agree. I I understand both sides here. I understand

264
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:21,159
that he's he's a high floor coach, which is arguably

265
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,039
not I mean, that's that's a very good thing, right,

266
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,600
You're not gonna be a disaster. You can build a

267
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,960
winner maybe over time while winning games in the in

268
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,480
the you know, build over time hopefully with better drafting.

269
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: And then maybe winning games in the short term.

270
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,279
Speaker 1: He work well with Derek Carr, probably maximize what you

271
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,440
would get out of Derek Carr.

272
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: But I do understand that it's it's the mystery box

273
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,960
family guy logic.

274
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, you it's it's a lot That's why I'm

275
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,039
calling him lottery ticket o c's. Chances are they're not

276
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,000
that guy. But what if you get the Kevin O'Connell

277
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,960
of the bunch, Well, then all of a sudden you

278
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,480
feel like you may be good for years and so like,

279
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:02,120
you don't feel that necessarily with McCarthy. So I think

280
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,759
there's just a bit of familiarity there amongst and it's

281
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:08,960
coming off a bad year, but there's some familiarity there

282
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,519
from the average NFL fan that makes maybe the other

283
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,279
names a bit more exciting. But again we I mean,

284
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,840
look at the numbers. He actually has a slightly bitter

285
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,000
resume the both Champagne and Mike Tomlin, and they aren't

286
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
thought about like that at all.

287
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: Also, you were talking about this during break.

288
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: A lot of people are gonna say they don't want

289
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,879
Mike McCarthy because he says a retread. There's a lot

290
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,000
of first time head coaches that are not gonna want

291
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,600
this Saint's job.

292
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:33,759
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the reality.

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: You have an aging roster, you have a quarterback that

294
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:39,039
nobody wants, and you're picking ninth. You don't have your

295
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,600
pick of the litters, so to speak, of the quarterbacks

296
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,360
that you can draft in this I mean, if you're

297
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,000
a first time head coach, like a Kafka, do you

298
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,080
want to take your first shot as the Saints.

299
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,639
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

300
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if Kafka has a choice. I mean, because again,

301
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:55,840
that's that's like a I think it's it's rare for

302
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:57,559
you to be in the position where you can say

303
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,120
no to a head job itself a chance.

304
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:00,279
Speaker 3: But I'll just say, like.

305
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,159
Speaker 2: Guys like Glenn and Brady, like you imagine they're going

306
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,080
to have options.

307
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I agree.

308
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:07,759
Speaker 2: There's so many people were like, why would Aaron Glynn

309
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:09,879
want to go to the Jets over the Saints. I

310
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,639
totally get that, But if we're being honest, why would

311
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:13,399
he want to go to the Saints?

312
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:13,759
Speaker 4: Also?

313
00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, as you said, the Jets have

314
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:18,720
better pieces. I think the Saints have a more patient organization,

315
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,799
so so he could have more time to get it

316
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,000
right with the Saints, whereas the Jets, of it like

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,120
went disaster, you could be out on your ass in

318
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,639
no time. But you probably have more roster rebuilding to

319
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,639
do with the Saints than you do within New York Jets.

320
00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:39,919
Right now, Hey, guys, I do remind you about one

321

341
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,799
All right, guys, the National championship tonight, Ohio State, Notre Dame.

342
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,519
How about this, As we said a twenty twenty two study,

343
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:51,599
I can't remember I did this on this show or snaps,

344
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:54,519
but did you know that according to New York Times data,

345
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:56,519
I don't know how this is collated to some of

346
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:58,200
you will be like raw, this is no one hundred

347
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200
percent accurate, but it's still interesting to me. According to

348
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,519
New York Times data, this is These are the two

349
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:11,880
most populous fan bases in all of college football, with

350
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,240
Ohio State having an estimated eleven point two six million

351
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:21,400
fans in Notre Dame eight point two one million fans. Meaning,

352
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,519
even though I do agree that it feels like the

353
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:26,640
college football schedule's gone on way too long.

354
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: They stretch this thing out way too far, and it

355
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,079
feels like.

356
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,599
Speaker 1: It's been forever since these playoffs started and since these

357
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,880
teams last played even I think tonight is going to

358
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,119
do absolute banger numbers. Monday Night, no competition, two largest

359
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,960
fan bases in play. The numbers are going to be incredible.

360
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,960
This is a series where Notre Dame has not won

361
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,400
a game since nineteen thirty five and nineteen thirty six,

362
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,039
and the ensuing ninety years, Ohio State has beaten them

363
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,000
six times in a row.

364
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Good games, but the Buckeyes, I mean out nonetheless.

365
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: On top of course, there was last year's game in

366
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,400
which Notre Dame had them beat on the road, but

367
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,640
they come out with ten people on the field out

368
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,119
of a time out, missing a defensive tackle. Ohio State

369
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,039
runs right at the defensive tackle and then they still.

370
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: Barely get it.

371
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Day immediately takes to the microphone after the game

372
00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:23,400
and starts calling out Lou Holtz.

373
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,599
Speaker 3: Where's Lou Holt to beat his ass? Stupid old man.

374
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 1: Did y'all see Lou Holtz called that team not tough

375
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,240
entering the game? Did y'all see the Lou Holtz tweet

376
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,480
on Ryan Day. Did y'all see this or missus?

377
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: Okay?

378
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: So? And this is from Lou Holt's official twitter. The

379
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:49,400
Pat McAfee show was doing a segment about Lou Holtz

380
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,640
whether or not he's going to be at the National Championship,

381
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,359
and then he quote tweeted the segment saying, if Notre

382
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,559
Dame doesn't win, it's only because we want to preserve

383
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Ryan Day's job. I originally was going to be at

384
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,599
the game and spirit, but now I'll be dragging my

385
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,880
body along as well.

386
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: Lou Holtz is so spiteful.

387
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:14,799
Speaker 1: And dislikes Ryan Day so much and is such a

388
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,200
hater that he apparently he's like struggling with his knee.

389
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,960
You know, he's old as dirt, and here he is

390
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,920
gonna drag his decrepit body to the game just to

391
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,799
be able to hate on Ryan Day on.

392
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: Purpose or in person.

393
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,759
Speaker 1: If if if Notre Dame somehow finds a way to

394
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:33,640
pull up the upset.

395
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: But how about that line from Holtz. If Not Dame.

396
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,599
Speaker 1: Doesn't win, it's only because we want to preserve Ryan

397
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,279
Day's job.

398
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,799
Speaker 7: With a legend, I respect it. I mean, you're going

399
00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:43,279
to be a hater.

400
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: Be a hater.

401
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:51,519
Speaker 2: Imagine getting trolled by Lou Holt just of all people.

402
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 4: That's just that's that's awful. A nine days probably has.

403
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:54,759
Speaker 3: To be few.

404
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: Mean, he's like, what can't I say back?

405
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,279
Speaker 3: He was ready to fight him after the game, Dude.

406
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: What can you say back? Like it's Lou Holt?

407
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,559
Speaker 3: Where's the halts?

408
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 4: Like nobody takes me seriously?

409
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:05,799
Speaker 5: Uh?

410
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, I do believe. Look, I bet

411
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,799
on Notre Dame. I bet pick Notium to win every

412
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:13,880
game up to this point. I'm picking Ohio State here.

413
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,119
I do believe Notre Dame has enough to keep this close.

414
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:20,200
A couple of things they have going for the most

415
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,720
successful third down team in the playoff thus far.

416
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: Something to watch right. How they won?

417
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: They've been on schedule, They're twenty two to forty four

418
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,599
in three games. Is have fifty on third down? That

419
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,599
is winning football?

420
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: Why is that?

421
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,599
Speaker 1: Because Ryot Leonard's way bigger than you think, and he

422
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,920
falls forward every single time he gets tackled. So they've

423
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,480
managed to get to third and manageable. They managed to

424
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:45,319
consistently convert, and they do it tonight against this Ohio

425
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,599
State team. One thing I don't feel great about Notre

426
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Dame with they love to play man coverage. And if

427
00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:54,559
you're gonna try to play against man coverage against Ohio State,

428
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:56,960
I think Jeremiah Smith is gonna kill you, and then

429
00:21:57,079 --> 00:22:00,680
Booker will kill you and then everything comes unraveling unraveled

430
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,200
after that. And so do you switch it up if

431
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,000
you're Notre Dame. Do you have the skill to kind

432
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,079
of get away or is it even smart? Or do

433
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,519
you try to play by your strengths to potentially lose

434
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,759
like I think you'll lose if you try to go

435
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,680
man against them. Maybe they believe in themselves to the

436
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,440
point where they say, no, that's who we are. We're

437
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,960
gonna stay by who we are. We're just gonna beat them. Now,

438
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,599
that's something to watch tonight. Can these dbs somehow consistently

439
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:36,119
man up Ohio State if.

440
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: They if they are asked to do so, if they

441
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:35,200
choose to do so.

442
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: And again, when I talk about this game, if it

443
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,279
sounds like I'm just kind of crafting the angles for

444
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Notre Dame, it is because the Ohio State angles seem

445
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,160
much easier. They are the most complete team left in

446
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,480
the playoff. Will Howard has played like an elite quarterback

447
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:56,720
all year long, save for the Michigan game. Ohio State

448
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,000
can throw it as well as anybody right now, and

449
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,160
the running game has come on because of it. Defensively,

450
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,799
they have a great pass rush, they have a great

451
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,640
rush defense. Like in this game, specifically for Ohio State,

452
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,279
one of the keys to the game is going to

453
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:15,920
be Caleb Downs, Leathan Ramsom and that safety group. State's

454
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,359
got three safeties they kind of use interchangeably. They'll put

455
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,680
them all over the place, but they've been playing very

456
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,519
close to the box and it gets the Notre Dame

457
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:25,640
team that wants to add quarterback run to the mix.

458
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: A safety of the box feels like a key because why.

459
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Does quarterback run succeed because you're adding a person to

460
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:34,920
the count. Well, if the defense can add a safety

461
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,160
but still feel strong about their coverage or the think

462
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,640
Ohio State can, that's going to negate some of the

463
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,480
advantage created by quarterback runs. So it's like I can

464
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:47,119
see a few different ways defensive battle or offensively that

465
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Hio State wins for Notre Dame, there is the one

466
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:54,559
path and it's like I said, staying on schedule offensively

467
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,680
to control the clock, keep Ohio State's offensive big playability

468
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,920
off of the field.

469
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:00,759
Speaker 3: And then.

470
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:12,839
Speaker 1: Dewey limiting Jeremiah Smith. It's exactly what UH Texas did

471
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,519
defensively to Ohio State. Can you take Smith out of

472
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:18,640
the game, force the others to try to beat you

473
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:22,400
by extension, try to force that running game to beat you.

474
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,599
If you want a bit of a Notre Dame spin

475
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,440
zone here and maybe a pseudo advantage that.

476
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm really reaching it fine.

477
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,799
Speaker 1: The fact that Notre Dame doesn't rely on their dropback

478
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:35,880
passing as much as nine to the teams that you

479
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,599
see in this playoff, I think that takes a bit

480
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,559
of power away from an Ohio State pass rush with

481
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:47,400
Jock Jock Jack sorry and two Miloile. It's a like

482
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,200
if you're not going to be droppback and thrown as much, well,

483
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,720
all of a sudden, the edge rushers.

484
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: Maybe aren't as effective. I guess.

485
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:57,559
Speaker 1: Is there a way in which Notre Dame can try

486
00:24:57,599 --> 00:24:59,599
to mind trick Chip Kelly into doing what he did

487
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,240
against Michigan and trying to play Notre Dame style game

488
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,039
and beating them out their own So? I don't think so,

489
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,359
But maybe there's something there in the end, though again,

490
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:13,160
I think Ohio State is the most complete team in

491
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,039
the tournament. It's a twenty million dollars roster, the most

492
00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:20,039
talented team entering the year, and whatever happened after that

493
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:25,279
Michigan game seem to have forded them, catalyzed them into

494
00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:28,680
the group that they were always meant to be. And

495
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,799
I think it's just, oh yeah, the other way that

496
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,359
Notre Dame wins this game, first and foremost bedrock element.

497
00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:38,160
They have to win special teams. It's an advantage for

498
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,880
them is going to this game. They have to press

499
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,359
their advantages wherever they can. So how does I mean

500
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:48,119
so indicators for the game? How's Zonadame doing in terms

501
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,960
of staying on schedule? Third down offense? Are they winning

502
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,079
special teams? And what will their strategy be defensively? Are

503
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,720
we playing zone too high, cutting off all throwing lanes

504
00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,319
or howard and making the run beat us?

505
00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: And then can you hold up against.

506
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:08,319
Speaker 1: The run or are you trying to play man and

507
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,359
playing with a bit of fire? Again, for what it's worth,

508
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:16,359
here's a little actually, here's a little fun fact. One

509
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,440
more before get into maybe final predict. Notre Dame leading

510
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,400
the country right now the opposing quarterbacks only completing fifty

511
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,880
percent of their passes. In fact, Gunner Stocked him was

512
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,680
the only quarterback this entire season to complete over sixty percent.

513
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:30,519
Speaker 3: Another stat to watch today.

514
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:34,759
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, though, I think Ohio State's too

515
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,640
much to handle. At the end of the day, I

516
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,680
think Notre Dame keeps it close. I got this thing

517
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:44,200
like twenty four to twenty. I think Ohio State ends

518
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:48,799
up winning the national championship and Ryan Day is absolved

519
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:50,759
of all of his sins.

520
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,079
Speaker 3: Right.

521
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: How weird if they were to win it. The seniors

522
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,839
on this Ohio State team, none of them would have

523
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,960
a pair of golden pants, which is the prize you

524
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,359
get for Bedie Michigan, but they could have a national

525
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,880
championship trophy. What are you all thoughts on tonight's game?

526
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,039
Speaker 7: I really want Notre Dame to win.

527
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: Crazy.

528
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,039
Speaker 7: Fortunately I don't think they will, but I do think

529
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:14,680
they cover.

530
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:19,599
Speaker 3: It is crazy how much I mean that the what

531
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:20,240
what did what?

532
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:20,559
Speaker 5: What? What?

533
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: What?

534
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: Do people say?

535
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:23,559
Speaker 1: The greatest trick the devil ever polls was convincing you

536
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:27,279
he didn't exist, and that same way I never thought

537
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,119
I could see a team so unlikable as to make

538
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,960
Notre Dame the plucky underdog.

539
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: But here we are with Ohio State.

540
00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 7: I just don't really find them unlikable. I find Ohio

541
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,759
State very unlikely.

542
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:42,599
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying that, like, Ohio State is somehow

543
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,839
so unlikable that they have made Notre Dame a team

544
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:49,400
that traditionally everybody loves to hate. They have made Notre

545
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:51,599
Dame the plucky, the plucky under.

546
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 7: I think it's Marcus Freeman.

547
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: I mean, and yeah, Marcus Freeman is definitely likable.

548
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,759
Speaker 4: Is yeah?

549
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: That is? That is definitely true. I mean, and how

550
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,799
could I mean you can't be mad at Riley Lennard

551
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:00,000
and the.

552
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: Little baby face. In fact, this is an all time

553
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:04,160
babyface matchup here.

554
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,319
Speaker 1: And I don't mean in the wrestling, since Babyface like

555
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,400
they're their hears. I mean like they literally both look

556
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:14,200
like children. Will Howard and Riley Leonard too. How weird too?

557
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,960
That Will Howard was Kansas State's quarterback last year and

558
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,359
Riley Leonard's was Dukes And now they're facing off in

559
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,279
the first ever twelve team playoff, both teams having gone

560
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:28,599
through legendary three opponents to get here.

561
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm picking Ohio State in this game for the same

562
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,599
reason I picked them against Texas. It's like two good teams,

563
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,319
two physical teams. I just think Ohio State has too

564
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:40,920
many weapons ag Buca and Smith on the outside, your

565
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,359
two headed monster running back with Trevion Anderson and Quinn

566
00:28:43,359 --> 00:28:46,039
Shawn Jenkins. And like we've mentioned all season long, like

567
00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:48,160
Will Howard has quietly been like one of the best

568
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,279
quarterbacks in all of college football, and throwing the ball

569
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720
like as good as Riley Leonard's been, he struggled at

570
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,519
times throwing the ball.

571
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:56,119
Speaker 4: Will Howard has not.

572
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,279
Speaker 2: Like I was gonna ask you guys what the spread is,

573
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,200
I actually don't care what the spread is. I'm going

574
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,920
to pick Ohio State. I'm picking Ohio State to cover

575
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,160
the spread. Yeah, whatever it is. I think Ohio State

576
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,680
wins the skin.

577
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: Again.

578
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:12,519
Speaker 1: I think I told I told, uh well, my buddy

579
00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:19,640
this weekend. Like my cold hard logic says Ohio State cover.

580
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,240
But I have been acknowledging that two things. First, as

581
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:27,759
Notre Dame team is more talented you think they are,

582
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,960
and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

583
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,799
Like they may be the best team in the playoffs,

584
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,160
and so I'm using a little bit of heart to

585
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,240
mix with that logic and that's how I arrive at

586
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:42,319
the cover. But we will see. It seems like chats

587
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:44,240
with you that Ohio State runs away with this thing.

588
00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 7: Also don't know if I like being on the same

589
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,640
side as you, but I still think.

590
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame covers well, I don't like being on the

591
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,279
same side as you, know, Ebenezer Scrooge or.

592
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,039
Speaker 3: The Grench or whatever. It doesn't matter. Basically is Christmas

593
00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:02,839
because it's knowing if you do anything, you would know that.

594
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:05,160
So we'll see.

595
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,519
Speaker 1: But I can't wait the college football season finally coming

596
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:12,000
in tonight. Quick self plug here. We are not doing

597
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,920
snaps during the day today, but we will be doing

598
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,839
a live reaction show right after the game. So if

599
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,400
you want to check it out YouTube, you can just

600
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,960
google snap, CFB and uh and and you can find

601
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,720
it and it'll be a lot of fun tonight.

602
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 7: Can I defend myself from the Scrooge allegations really quickly?

603
00:30:29,599 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: Allow it? Yes?

604
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: Okay.

605
00:30:31,319 --> 00:30:35,359
Speaker 7: I people have been saying that the playoffs were drug

606
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:39,799
one too long or dragged on too long, and I

607
00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:43,319
don't think so. I have liked all the playoff games,

608
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:46,200
and I don't think that we're too far into January

609
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:50,160
to play a national championship.

610
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 3: So I.

611
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,799
Speaker 7: Like the more football. And the people that are saying

612
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,119
and complaining about the college football playoff this year, I

613
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,960
think they're being screwed.

614
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:04,359
Speaker 1: I okay, so I would agree in that. I think that, Yes,

615
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,319
I think the more football is good. I too, have

616
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640
loved every round of the playoffs, maybe say for the

617
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,359
first one, which was a little boring until we got

618
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,880
Texas Arizona State, but even that was such an instant

619
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,480
classic with the Cam Scatterbo going god mode. And as

620
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,240
someone who covers college football, of course, I'm you know,

621
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:24,000
I'm kind of financially incentivized to want it as well.

622
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:31,680
I do think if you're just maximizing profit, that you

623
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:35,720
maybe speed it up, condense it to maintain interest, even

624
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,559
though tonight's gonna do crazy numbers. But I also think

625
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,279
but I also think that to your point, I think

626
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:45,920
the criticism is overblown. I think it's a bit of

627
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,880
sour grapes from a lot of fan bases, and like

628
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,079
you know, people just always want to, Yeah, people always

629
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,960
kind of want to kind of hate a little bit,

630
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,799
and and I mean, maybe it's not completely it's fair

631
00:31:58,839 --> 00:32:00,880
to say, hey, but I guess it's like, you know,

632
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,319
this is the new shiny thing, and if you were

633
00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:06,000
against it, will you're going to stand up with if

634
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:10,000
you have to say, oh, I'm against this or I mean,

635
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:11,680
you got a lot of fan bases that are traditional

636
00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:13,599
used to being in it that aren't at this point

637
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:15,079
into maybe they're like.

638
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, I'm checked out now. I just I

639
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:17,960
just don't care now.

640
00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:20,519
Speaker 2: So the people who are saying that don't have a

641
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:21,160
dog in the fight.

642
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:21,799
Speaker 4: I mean, think about it.

643
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: If you're an Ohio State fan and a Notre Dame fan,

644
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,599
for the last month, you've watched a do or die

645
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,519
game every single week. I mean we we've seen that,

646
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,920
like in a regular season game. Oh, the winner of

647
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,079
this goes to the SEC championship and you feel the adrenaline.

648
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,119
Imagine feeling that every single game for like four or

649
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,160
five weeks in a row.

650
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: Like because your team didn't make the playoff.

651
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 7: B yeah they really it would have been bad.

652
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, some crazy whiskey ones.

653
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Well, coming up next, and let's talk about the playoffs,

654
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,440
because I think this is an LSU football team that could.

655
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:53,319
Speaker 3: Maybe find their way there next season. More t B

656
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,480
coming up off the bench.

657
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:59,799

681
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,159
Speaker 1: It's off the bench with Hester and T Bob. What's

682
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:24,480
hadding y'all, Welcome back to OTV. We'll get to messy

683
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:28,800
basketball a bit later in the program. But Paul finebab

684
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,840
says that he thinks of Brian kelly by off the

685
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,280
hot seat after twenty twenty five picks a big year

686
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,960
from LSU, And I can't help but feel a little

687
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:44,320
bit like the GTA Sanadreas meme, U Huh, here we

688
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,000
go again, right, because.

689
00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:51,079
Speaker 3: I know, look, I said I was not going to.

690
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Do it again, right, I'm not gonna sit here for

691
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,679
eight month off season hyping up LSU once again. But

692
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:07,039
like guys, guys objectively else, she looks like they could

693
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:10,280
be pretty emn good next year, you know, I mean

694
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,800
they were already pretty good this year. They're returning a

695
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,639
ton defensively from two years ago to last year. And

696
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:21,760
I don't even want to bring up the fact again

697
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,559
that with each passing round of the NFL playoffs what

698
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:29,960
Matt House did should be tried in Nuremberg. It is

699
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,159
akin to a war crime, a college football war crime.

700
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:33,639
Speaker 3: Whatever.

701
00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: To go from where you were defensively two years ago.

702
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,920
This last year was a massive improvement. Now you're adding

703
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,199
more talent, you're gonna be stronger at every single position.

704
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 3: Group.

705
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,599
Speaker 1: Find me a group on defense that will not be better

706
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:48,400
this year. Maybe the edge guys maybe, but even then,

707
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,320
you got talent there.

708
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 3: They're deeper, They're deeper.

709
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: Every single group will get better defensively another year on tasker,

710
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,000
we believe are much better defensive coaches. An offense with

711
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:02,039
a quarterback, it opens up a second in the Heisman odds.

712
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:07,639
Weapons that were already really good getting even better. Really,

713
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:09,440
it's all about the offense of running back room that's

714
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,320
got better. It's about the offensive line, how will they perform?

715
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,639
But even the offensive line last year was a bit underwhelming.

716
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,039
So on paper, and then you look at ls you

717
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:20,800
bring in the number one portal class in the country,

718
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,920
and you look at all the teams and what great

719
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,360
portal classes have done in them recently, and all of

720
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,480
a sudden, on paper, I mean, here we go again, Dude,

721
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:36,199
is LSU illegitimate playoff team next year? I want to

722
00:36:36,199 --> 00:36:38,599
ask are they a contender? Because they absolutely are. Whether

723
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:40,880
or not they will follow through on said contention remains

724
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,239
to be seen, Like are they potentially championship.

725
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: Good next year.

726
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,599
Speaker 7: I think the transfer portal class that's coming in and

727
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,440
what we already have does excite me a lot.

728
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:54,119
Speaker 3: How could it not?

729
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, and what was it? Number eight recruiting?

730
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, great top teen class.

731
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you lose on would but he was never going

732
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,719
to factor in next year anyway. And then and then

733
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,079
that becomes a catalyst actually for incredible fundraising that ends

734
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:10,400
up leading the portal class. Also, then you shift some

735
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,440
of that money you go get the big O line

736
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:13,679
recruiters Tolomon Thomas.

737
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

738
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:19,199
Speaker 1: So yes, a good recruiting class, a great portal class,

739
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:24,400
and a shrewd portal class. From a roster construction standpoint,

740
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,960
everywhere you had a need, you have now checked that box, right,

741
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,239
I mean with with the addition of who's the safety

742
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,239
recently for Vincy State, Marcus Cooley. Yeah, with the addition

743
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,639
of to Marcus Cooley. Now, granted, you can maybe still

744
00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:37,119
get some stuff around the edges if you want, but

745
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:40,119
with the addition of Cooley, every you need it tight end. Okay,

746
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:43,159
you got a couple uh if Pascazer and a big

747
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,880
yackle you need safety. Okay, you got him, and you

748
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,840
got some other defensive back help as well. You needed

749
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,320
offensive lineman interior and on the edge, well you got

750
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,719
him in Braandley more just Thompson. So you had needs

751
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,320
going to this part, and you check the needs with

752
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,480
high value players. So yeah, objectively, there should be a

753
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:05,440
ton of pressure on Brian Kelly next year to continue

754
00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:10,760
contend for championships and to make the playoff, to.

755
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:13,039
Speaker 3: Make a twelvety playoffs. There's there's no excuse.

756
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,559
Speaker 7: Really yeah, I think we go into Clemson and beat

757
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:17,079
Clemson in the opener.

758
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,079
Speaker 1: So here we arrive at the one thing that I

759
00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:22,360
will not do that I will not.

760
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 3: And cannot do. No, Sam, I am.

761
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: I do not care if it's in a house with

762
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,559
a mouse or a box with a fox. I will

763
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:33,559
not choose LSU to win the opening game. I will

764
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:34,159
not do this.

765
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 3: I will, Sam. I can't do it again, I will.

766
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 7: I'm right now.

767
00:38:38,599 --> 00:38:43,679
Speaker 1: I've done it five years in a row LSU, five

768
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:45,679
years in a row.

769
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,519
Speaker 3: I cannot go to six boy.

770
00:38:47,519 --> 00:38:50,079
Speaker 2: And you can say, okay, well, they played these great

771
00:38:50,159 --> 00:38:53,239
teams a week one, I mean outside of Florida State

772
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:57,000
two years ago, like whatever they like see with super

773
00:38:57,039 --> 00:39:00,559
average Florida State the first year wasn't that great. You

774
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:03,679
lost the Mississippi State and kJ Costello and then a

775
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,000
UCLA team that finished like eight and four of that year,

776
00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:08,079
So it's not like you're even playing Juggernaut's. Like I'm

777
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:11,400
kind of with you, Like, no, missed the LSU people,

778
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,239
but like I can't. I can't pick them until they

779
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:13,800
prove its right.

780
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: Clemson will be the second best team that you will

781
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,679
have faced in this streak to the undefeated Florida State team.

782
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:21,039
They're probably even better than that year one Florida State

783
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:26,000
team that you lost to. So no, I think they'll

784
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:27,760
be really good, but I'm not picking them way the

785
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,519
first game of the season.

786
00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: I can't do it. They got to prove me wrong.

787
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: The best part is, I mean, you have a heavyweight

788
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,280
match up Week one because everything you just talked about

789
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,719
with LSU, you could say the same thing with Clemson.

790
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: Right.

791
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,159
Speaker 2: They have the returning quarterback, They have a lot of

792
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:42,760
talented receivers that they actually grew organically, because at the

793
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,880
beginning of last year you would have said, ah, well,

794
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,920
Florida Clemson didn't have that many good receivers.

795
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 4: They were young guys. They got a lot better as

796
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,760
a season gone. Along.

797
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: They'll have a good running game. They always have a

798
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,440
pretty good defense. LSU's defense should be better. So like

799
00:39:54,639 --> 00:39:56,800
we're gonna find out pretty quickly how for real this

800
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,679
LSU team is.

801
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: We'll see.

802
00:39:58,559 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 7: I still think they beat Clemson.

803
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: I hope you're right, because then the playoff heype would

804
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,840
be shot to the moon. What do y'all think? Coming

805
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,599
up next here on OTV, let's wrap up our number

806
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:14,679
two and then we got a whole another hour to

00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:15,199

833
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,039
Speaker 1: I have anything about Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter, the

834
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:46,639
ones that come up with a sack on third and

835
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:50,960
two on Stafford just dog on dog on dog crime.

836
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,679
Speaker 2: Carter is also the one that uh punched out the

837
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:55,920
ball on Kiraen Williams.

838
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:57,039
Speaker 3: M Yeah, John.

839
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: Not a smart choice by Byron to uh to talk

840
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,760
to trash to Carter before the game. What what what's

841
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,800
what's the rams pass rusher?

842
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 4: Byron Young?

843
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

844
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,679
Speaker 1: Yes, good Byron Young going over pre game to Jalen

845
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,719
Carter and saying give me that seventy K talking about

846
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,719
what the players will make if they win the game. Well,

847
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,320
I'll never get Jalen Carter holding up Jayden Daniels in

848
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,119
the SEC Championship like he was like he was a

849
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,880
you know, a cat bringing back his fresh kill to

850
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,519
the owner to be proud of him, like I've never

851
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:33,920
seen that before. He gets a sack and as he's

852
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,840
sacking him, he's holding Jane Daniels in the air with

853
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,320
the one hand and holding up the number one with

854
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,639
the other. That is not a man that that I

855
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:46,559
would mess with. All right, So SEC basketball over the weekend,

856
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:50,079
Elshman's women Elschman falls sixty to fifty seven Colled Station

857
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:52,719
of the Aggies. It's a close game, but uh, there's

858
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,639
a six minute stretcher else she goes one to seven

859
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:57,719
from the field, six turnovers, no points. Aggie's going to

860
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,719
ten oh run and that's kind of the game. Elsie's

861
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,360
offense is not good enough here, thirty six percent from

862
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,400
the field, twenty four percent from three in a disturbingly

863
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,840
common theme, losing fourteen to six in the offensive glass.

864
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaking of common themes, the LSU women's team dominates the

865
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,800
Florida Gators in Gainesville eighty to sixty three to move

866
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,960
to a perfect twenty and zero now five and zero

867
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,559
in the sec second time in the last three years.

868
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,039
That else who has started this season twenty to zero

869
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,800
do not take for granted. How insane that is. Shout

870
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,639
out to coach Molky. This is, by the way, how

871
00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:40,400
about this fact She's been a head coach of twenty

872
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,639
five seasons, won at least twenty games in all twenty

873
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,840
five years. Shout out to Anissa Morrow. Tenth consecutive double

874
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,039
double twenty and TENSI has ninety two in her career.

875
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:51,639
Now she tied for second most all time. She will

876
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,239
not break the record, but that she does have the

877
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,400
opportunity to become the second player in n TAA history

878
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,800
to have one hundred double doubles depending on how she

879
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,440
finishes out this season. Michale went for twenty two for

880
00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:04,239
nineteen els who forces twenty four turnovers? They only turn

881
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:09,079
over nine times. So if it sounds like I'm rushing

882
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:10,679
to the Florida game a bit, it's because I am.

883
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,440
I cannot wait to talk to coach Mulky tomorrow, because

884
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,519
you want to talk about a massive game. It's finally here.

885
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,639
Coming up this Thursday, your LSU women's basketball team heads

886
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:25,039
to South Carolina to take on the defending national championship

887
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:28,079
Game Cocks, the number two team in the entire country.

888
00:44:28,119 --> 00:44:30,079
And that game you want to talk about the stage.

889
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,639
The game's going to be seven pm Thursday night on

890
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:39,760
ESPN one. In fact, it'll be the first college Game

891
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,039
Day show of the season that features a women's basketball game,

892
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,760
as College Game Day will be in club. It's ready

893
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,440
to go an hour before tip. So great job up

894
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,559
to this point, stellar job. Continue to win in multiple ways.

895
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:57,000
It's hard to win on the road in this league.

896
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,440
They go into games will they dominate their twenty to zero.

897
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,639
But coming up this Thursday, that's the big ticket game.

898
00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:06,000
Millions will be watching as Dawn Stated and Kim Mulki

899
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:10,159
bring their respective teams toe to toe once again. And

900
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:13,519
what a measuring stick going into a potential tournament setting.

901
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,079
Can't wait Thursday night seven. You got about thirty seconds,

902
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:18,840
you guys. Any thoughts on these two games?

903
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

904
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 2: So the men's game, you were in this game long, sorry,

905
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,320
tied at the tied at halftime. You're down by two

906
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,000
with about twelve minutes to go five straight possessions and

907
00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:32,559
no points, including four toneervers in those five possessions, and

908
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:34,880
that did it. You're not a good enough team to

909
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,280
come from behind down the stretch. You don't have enough scoring.

910
00:45:37,639 --> 00:45:40,360
They were great in the first half, but Samuel LSU

911
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,239
down the stretch. It was It was unfortunate. I thought

912
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,639
this was a game they had a chance to win.

913
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,599
Next two games Alabama and Auburn both top five teams,

914
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:48,960
so not gonna get any easier.

915
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, A and M only shot forty two percent from

916
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,960
the line, so they kind of opened the door, but

917
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:56,320
couldn't take advantage. All Right, two hours of the books,

918
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,840
we got weekend winners coming up. Keep it locked right

919
00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,880
here on OTV.

920
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 3: Off the bench,
