16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,439

the Big Twelve, Big Twelve Game Day Show on Saturdays

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,599
on tune in.

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Yep, you know, with.

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: UCF, part of the Big Twelve. He's also the Tampa

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,000
Bay Buccaneers radio sideline reporter. Don't know how he's gonna

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,439
get to New Orleans yet. Is he getting to New

23
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:24,280
Orleans yet? All that still do be determined. You know,

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,599
the Buccaneers are in New Orleans prepping for the game

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,359
on Sunday with the Saints. Welcome in my friend.

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,159
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, it's always good to be with you sports

27
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,480
right now, our secondary we understand that. So you and

28
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,359
I are doing this obviously with Hurricane Milton bearing down

29
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:41,640
on the state of Florida, somewhere on the state of Florida,

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,840
and you know, we're kind of in the mode right

31
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,719
now where we want to be safe and you're not

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,519
rooting for this to do anything to anybody else, but

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000
you're almost relieved that it looks like it's not going

34
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,920
to be a direct hit, at least to the northern

35
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:58,400
part of Tampa Bay. We'll see this thing could change

36
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:02,599
Wednesday into Wednesday night when it makes landfall. Everybody be safe,

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000
be smart, evacuate if they have to evacuate. We're still

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,959
doing this at a time where people can still evacuate

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
on Tuesday evening. And I was laughing when you were

40
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,520
saying it, because the cliche is come hell or high water,

41
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:16,879
come Hurricane Milton and high water. We're gonna bring you

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,719
the Florida Football Insiders podcast, my friend. So I'm here

43
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:21,879
at your service, at your disposal.

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,719
Speaker 1: Hopefully if you guys, some of you guys may be

45
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,159
listening later in the week with a generator on. We

46
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:30,599
appreciate the listening podcast platform. We appreciate it. Give you

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,599
a little levity and a little relief. I know, yes,

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,080
a lot of people are gonna be going through some

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,240
tough times in the next several days here in the

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,879
state of Florida. So hopefully we can provide a little

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,800
relief and a little insight for you. As we lead

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
into the weekend, We're gonna recap last week. We got

53
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,319
some wild games in the state of Florida last week.

54
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,919
So let's get right to it, mister Reeves, all right,

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,199
First of all, tell the audience tune in Radio on Saturdays,

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,960
Correct with the pregame show Big.

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: Toe Correct nine to noon Eastern Time on tune In

58
00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:01,719
exclusively Big twelve Digital deal with tune In, and this

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,439
channel is free to hear. It is Big twelve Radio

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,479
on tune In. They do a five day a week

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,159
morning show that is live in the morning and also replays.

62
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:14,560
They also play live broadcasts of the schools and their

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,199
games a Game of the week format. I host the

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,280
Saturday Morning preview, the three hour Saturday Morning Preview, So

65
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:24,159
we're going to be previewing everything that goes on in

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,319
the Big Twelve. Think has happened for UCF in Cincinnati,

67
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,560
And we'll get into this with all the games. Is

68
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,319
that game being played Saturday afternoons? It moved to Saturday night?

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,520
You and I don't know that right now on Tuesday,

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,680
depending on what goes on with Hurricane Milton, but that

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,159
becomes an enormous game for UCF off the back to

72
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,560
back losses. If they have any hope of salvaging the

73
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:48,520
Big Twelve season here, they got to bow their back

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,360
and beat Cincinnati. So again, I love I do a

75
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,120
lot of different things, a lot of different places, but

76
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:56,759
I love previewing the Big Twelve every Saturday in this

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,360
relationship with tune in. And it's a fascinating conference because

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,000
just when you thought it was going to be Utah

79
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:07,120
and Oklahoma State and then everybody else, Oklahoma State now

80
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:10,719
has three consecutive losses to start the Big Twelve season,

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840
and Utah took a loss to Arizona. So I don't

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,959
think it's wrong to say that between Arizona, Utah, Iowa

83
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,000
State BYU there's sixteen teams in this conference. Out of

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,120
those four or five teams, it's wide open. Jason. Right now,

85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,759
you've got a.

86
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: Massive game Colorado Colorado Kansas State. Yes, Colorado's back in

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,120
the mix now be the winner.

88
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:33,079
Speaker 3: Of that game is clearly in the mix. So can

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,439
Coach Prime's team stand prosperity. When last we saw them,

90
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,439
speaking of Orlando, they bashed the UCF Knights in the

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,079
second half of that game. And now I have've had a

92
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:47,240
week off. Kansas State, when last we saw them ripped

93
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,639
Oklahoma State, They've had a week off. This is a

94
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,399
late night game Saturday night, so that will be fascinating

95
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,360
as well because the winner again is very relevant at

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,240
the top of the Big twelve.

97
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Before we get into the Florida teams, a quick thought

98
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,120
the carnage last week, a week we didn't think was

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,839
going to be a very good week on the calendar

100
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,120
schedule wise, turned out to be an unbelievable week, with

101
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:13,600
Alabama falling at Vanderbilt, Arkansas beating Tennessee the drum. I mean,

102
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,079
we had some drama the wild finish, which we're gonna

103
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,199
get into at Miami and Cal. Just give me a

104
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:19,519
thought or two about last week.

105
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy and it was looking like had

106
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,199
Cal hung on if if that the whole top ten

107
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,079
was going to be jumbled with all the different upsets.

108
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:32,680
It's the first time in over forty years the two

109
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:37,160
SEC teams both lose in the top five, top five

110
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,680
teams to an unranked team on the same Saturday. I

111
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,240
still hadn't figured out days later how Vanderbilt did all

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,160
that to Alabama, especially outscoring them offensively, and then Arkansas

113
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,720
was the opposite. It was more like suffocate, suffocate, Tennessee,

114
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,680
play defense, low scoring game and they win. And that's

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,000
some backdrop for the Tennessee Florida game. But you're right,

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,959
I mean, this thing is shades of two thousand and seven.

117
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Remember nobody could stand prosperity up at the top in

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,959
two thousand and seven, and that is the year that

119
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,920
we ended up having a two loss LSU play a

120
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:14,319
two loss Ohio State for the BCS National Title game,

121
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,600
a game that I was at the BCS Title game

122
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,480
in the Superdome that seven year. Remember, had usf get

123
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,040
all the way up to the number two spot and

124
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,639
lose Boston College, West Virginia. They all got up to

125
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:28,399
the number two spot and everybody kept losing as the

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,839
number two team, when you only needed to be number

127
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
one or number two to go to it. I don't

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,800
know that we're to that extent yet, but it is

129
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,120
a crazy time right now in college football.

130
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Berkeley Saturday night, late night,

131
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,439
ten thirty start. I know you were asleep probably when

132
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:44,240
this game ended.

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Yes, it didn't end.

134
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,959
Speaker 1: Till almost two o'clock in the morning, if not a

135
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:49,519
little bit after.

136
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,439
Speaker 3: Most of the country that was in the Eastern time

137
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:56,439
zone probably gave up on this with calri by twenty

138
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,319
five points in the second half, only to wake up

139
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:02,240
Sunday and go, what minute, What a job, What a

140
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,680
job by Miami Mario Christobaul's team and cam Ward, the

141
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,639
transfer quarterback, cool under pressure as they ripped off three

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,120
touchdowns in the final nine minutes and are now very relevant. Jason,

143
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,360
the Canes are very relevant for the ACC title and

144
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:20,759
the College Football Playoff with that comeback.

145
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,519
Speaker 1: And you wonder, is this one of those years where

146
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:25,800
a team of destiny Miami got to break the week

147
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,160
before with the replay overturn against Virginia Tech. They come

148
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,079
back from twenty down with nine minutes to go, even

149
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:36,399
when the referees call a bogus, unsportsmanlike foul against Miami

150
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:38,839
on the last drive that pushed them back another fifteen

151
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,639
yards that they had to overcome that you had a

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,959
close It ended up being the right call where linemen

153
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
were close to being downfield on the winning touchdown, But

154
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:48,600
it was the right.

155
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:52,439
Speaker 3: Call, right, non call right? They were actually blocking guys,

156
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,439
so they're allowed to be downfield right. There was some

157
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,959
controversy on the internet camp stuff, but.

158
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Cam Ward was about a half a leg from being

159
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,000
over the line of script on a throw that led

160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,800
to the five yard line first in goal.

161
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,279
Speaker 3: I mean, but still they looked like a team of destiny,

162
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,040
like you said. Now, I did not get to hear

163
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,279
your official take on Florida Football Insiders here or the

164
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:14,720
Powers on Sports podcast and do a great job with these.

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,079
Did you agree with the overturn on the Virginia Tech

166
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,079
play when they called on the field touchdown. Did you

167
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,920
believe there was enough on that replay to overturn it

168
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:28,519
and cost Miami the perfect season because that's the last

169
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,399
play of the game. I called it the fail Mary two,

170
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,559
the sequel to the bad Seahawks Packers ending with the

171
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,200
replacement refs on Monday Night Football. That was fail Mary

172
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:40,960
one where they got it wrong here. I thought they

173
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,440
got it right on the field and replay got it wrong.

174
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,240
What did you think it was?

175
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,279
Speaker 1: It was close, man, I mean, there's absolutely an argument

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,279
to be made. Whatever they called on the field could

177
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,080
not be conclusively overturned. We talked to coach Levitt last week,

178
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,519
Jim Levitt, and I asked him, I said, would you

179
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,919
have been taking off in handcuffs if they had overturn that?

180
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,799
And he goes yup, they've been going to jail if

181
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,399
they'd overturned that against me.

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:04,919
Speaker 3: Yes.

183
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: But I and I made this comment to coach lev

184
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,360
two and I know that this will never be admitted,

185
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:14,159
never be talked about. But with eight, with Miami being

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,919
the clear cut favorite in the ACCU, did the acc

187
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,080
Conference figure out a way to overturn that call to

188
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,679
keep Miami the national Championships?

189
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think it's a factor in that room. No.

190
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,679
But but as long as they took they took forever

191
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:33,440
to overrule that you give fuel to the conspiracy theorist

192
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,279
on exactly what you're talking about, that there are tens

193
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:38,960
of millions of dollars at stake in the College Football

194
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Playoff and if Miami takes the l there, it greatly

195
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:46,679
damages the AC case outside of the ACC Championship game

196
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,200
and the automatic bid. So it's really Miami and Clemson

197
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,440
and what they don't play. They don't play in the

198
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,919
regular season, and the Canes don't play this weekend, and

199
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,279
then Miami has an interesting couple of games at Louisville

200
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,039
and then the rivalry game at home at the end

201
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600
of the month with Florida State. Although Florida State is

202
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,080
a hot mess. Florida State is a dumpster fire right now.

203
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,120
But still, I mean, the Canes have a couple of

204
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,720
land mines coming up. But the fascinating thing is, Jason,

205
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120
they don't play Clemson in the regular season here, so

206
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:17,200
we'll see if they can get to the finish line unbeaten.

207
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,159
Speaker 1: And again give Mario christapall credit, this will been a

208
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,200
game he'd have lost the last couple of years. They

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,080
would not have figured out a way to win this game.

210
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,919
And you know, cam Ward clearly is the difference in

211
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:28,320
Miami with the quarterback play.

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: The thing they don't is he in the Heisman conversation

213
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,080
right now? Cam Ward, Oh, absolutely, he's one. He's probably

214
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,919
one or two in the country. I think for the Heisman,

215
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,600
probably him and Travis Hunter. Today is probably one two

216
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,519
in the in the Heisman Trophy. Racing my view through

217
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,799
through six weeks, it's early. Dors Sanders has to be

218
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:51,000
in the conversation somewhere. Probably not top two. Jalen Milroe

219
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:54,240
at Alabama. I know they lost last week, but but

220
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,720
I mean they still are going to have a bunch

221
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,639
of big games and a chance to get back in it.

222
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,879
But other than that, today maybe talking cam, you're talking

223
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:04,120
Travis Hunter. I don't know. We'll see for the highest.

224
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,399
Speaker 1: Miami, probably from Boise State, the running.

225
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,639
Speaker 3: Ashton Genty is his name. Who did I did? I

226
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,360
see the stats that they looked back at Derrick Henry

227
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:18,080
mark Ingram and there was another running back that's recently

228
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,000
won the Heisman, And they looked at their first six games,

229
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,799
and in all six of their games, I'm just gonna

230
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,519
do this off the top of my head, none of

231
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,159
them had more than six hundred yards rushing and none

232
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,639
of them had more than like six touchdowns. Derek Henry

233
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:35,320
had six touchdowns, mark Ingram had like five through six games.

234
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Through six games, Ashton genty has eleven hundred yards and

235
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:43,639
like twelve or thirteen touchdowns are righty, it's crazy what

236
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,840
the numbers are. You can talk about level of competition.

237
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
He belongs in the conversation right now, at least at

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Boise State.

239
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,919
Speaker 1: We'll saying they're in the hunt for the twelfth spot

240
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,120
for the for the non.

241
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: Pat the automatic group of five right right on the

242
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:57,960
highest ranked team. So we'll see on that.

243
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: And here's a note for our football fans and state

244
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,720
of Florida, Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans. The offensive coordinator at

245
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,159
Boise State, one former Buccaneer head coach, Dirk Cutter.

246
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:08,759
Speaker 3: How about that?

247
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,159
Speaker 1: How about it? It is interesting a former Boise State

248
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,840
head coach back, that's correct, lives out there. They coached

249
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,559
them out of retirement to be the OEC.

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's fascinating where they are. They are

251
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960
working on the group of five thing, and we're eventually

252
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,039
going to work our way to Memphis and USF and

253
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,279
how that might could factor in for the Group of

254
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:31,720
five for Memphis and the American Conference. But yeah, it's

255
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,600
something to keep an eye on right now that there

256
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,480
is going to be one automatic qualifier for the College

257
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,080
Football Playoff. It's the highest rank of those teams that

258
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,360
are not in the Power for conferences.

259
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Florida State. One in five.

260
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,519
Clemson beats them pretty good. Interesting if you're a if

261
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,679
you're a betting person, a late field goal by Clemson

262
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,919
to cover the number just so happened. They take a

263
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:53,639
field goal like a minute and a half left in

264
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,559
the game to cover the number. But boy, just give

265
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,039
me a thought or two about what a disasters year

266
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,440
up in town.

267
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,159
Speaker 3: The thing that I was struck by is that game

268
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,519
should have been a thirty point game, and Florida State

269
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,399
was very fortunate that Clemson was kicking field goals. They

270
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:09,200
couldn't convert a third down a couple of times the

271
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,799
red zone, Florida State blocked the field goal, and it's

272
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,559
like Clemson was almost just toying with them in the

273
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120
fourth quarter and had the game won. As the debo

274
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,799
revenge Tours coming back around, and I really don't know

275
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,120
what to make of it. I mean, they're not going

276
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,759
to fire Mike Norvel, but I mean they owe him

277
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,559
sixty million dollars after giving him a new deal. What

278
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,919
are these presidents and boards and boosters doing agreeing to

279
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,919
these deals over and over again. Where to get rid

280
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,519
of a coach, you've got to pay them forty to

281
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,279
fifty sixty million dollars. How do we not get one

282
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:42,799
of those deals? Jason Powers? So they're not getting rid

283
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,120
of Norvel, But this this season unraveled so quickly with

284
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,759
his stubbornness, and he's even saying on the record that

285
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,399
when Dju the quarterback is healthy, they're going to go

286
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:55,480
back to him. What I mean, why do you say

287
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:58,559
that right now? I don't understand that. With as bad

288
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,759
as that offense is, how much he's regressed as a quarterback.

289
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:03,919
How do you give your team any hope when you're

290
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:06,720
talking about you can say, well, when he's healthy, we'll

291
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:08,879
evaluate it week to week on how he looks in

292
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720
practice and how the games look. How do you declare,

293
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,559
as he did earlier this week, that when Dju's healthy,

294
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,879
he's going to be our guy. It just it's strange

295
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:18,799
with Norvell, right.

296
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:21,519
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see if his philosophy of

297
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:24,879
how he assembles his roster moving forward too much portal.

298
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:27,559
In my opinion, you got to recruit high school kids

299
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,360
and supplement it a little bit of spot here and

300
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:33,080
there with the portal. You cannot live and die in

301
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,840
the portal.

302
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:36,519
Speaker 3: Every year, and that's what Dabos Sweeney wants to prove

303
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,720
right now because he doesn't have transfers and he wants

304
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:42,720
to demonstrate to everybody you can win at the highest

305
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600
level without having to go into the transfer portal. In

306
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:48,240
his case, it's extreme at all, but certainly not as

307
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,120
deep as Florida State did. And they've got a group

308
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:55,159
of talented individuals that aren't playing well as a team

309
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,000
obviously at this point.

310
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: Now we're from Titan Home Lending. If you I have

366
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:11,319
to Gainesville. Impressive win by the Gators over UCF on

367
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,440
Saturday night. Again, now what they had control of the game.

368
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,039
Speaker 3: I'm laughing because three weeks ago we were writing the

369
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:23,839
obituary for Billy Napier. They win at Mississippi State. Who's awful.

370
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:25,839
They take a week off, and a lot of people

371
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,079
were pointing to this game, a game where for much

372
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,440
of the week on the points spread lines on all

373
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,559
of the different betting outlets, UCF was favored in Gainesville

374
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,920
and Florida really dominated the game. I mean, final score

375
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,039
maybe not as indicative of Again here we go. They

376
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,359
were three or four touchdowns better in that game than UCF.

377
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:50,920
Just better talent on defense for sure kJ Jefferson has regressed.

378
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,440
Obviously this ties back into UCF. Billy Napier needed that

379
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,599
desperately because now he's going into this stretch. What is

380
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:03,759
it again, Tennessee, Georgia and no particular where Texas is involved,

381
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:06,799
Old miss is involved. It is a it is a

382
00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,079
monster end of the season where how many wins are

383
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,440
there for Florida starting in Knoxville this coming Saturday night.

384
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,039
Speaker 1: Give me a story on this rivalry Knoxville, I mean Florida, Tennessee.

385
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,480
How was is a storied rivalry in the SEC over

386
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:23,279
the years. Spurrier and hellh yeah for Spurrier and Manning,

387
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,000
urban Meyer and company. Oh yeah, give me a little

388
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:27,359
story about fin so.

389
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: So nostalgia for you. This is thirty years ago. Now,

390
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:32,799
my god, am I that old? I am the five

391
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,400
day a week sports radio host in Tampa Bay, which

392
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,240
is a massive Florida Gator town. At that time. Remember USF,

393
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,079
South Florida is not even playing football yet to a

394
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,160
few years later they have a football program. So it

395
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,319
was primarily Florida, Florida State in Miami conversation all the

396
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,960
time in the college football season, and I had seen

397
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:57,279
what Tennessee had done to Florida previously in Knoxville, and

398
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,400
Florida was rolling in with Steve Spurrier and company, Danny

399
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,079
warfolin company in the nineteen ninety four game in Knoxville.

400
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:08,119
And I remember over and over again fighting with Florida fans.

401
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,880
I think this is Tennessee. I think this is Tennessee outright,

402
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,039
the equalizer at home and you and I went back

403
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,839
and double checked, and look, Jack Jackson returned the opening

404
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,880
kickoff almost for a touchdown. Danny Warfol lit Tennessee up.

405
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,400
That was Todd Hilton as the Tennessee quarterback, eventually replaced

406
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,480
in that game by some guy named Peyton Manning as

407
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,000
a freshman. Late in the game, Tennessee donut did not score.

408
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,000
And I still remember this for those that are that

409
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:40,240
are watching and hearing this, that remember the famous Tampa

410
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,119
Bay sportscasters of the early early days nineteen seventies, eighties,

411
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,079
early nineties, Andy Hardy was the famous Channel thirteen local

412
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,880
sportscaster in Tampa Bay. Had had the slicked back hair

413
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,279
and the whole thing. Andy Hardy was the was the

414
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,920
was the guy on Channel thirteen week nights at six

415
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,680
and eleven. All Right, I remember the day after that

416
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:06,119
game was a Buccaneer home game. And again, I'm a

417
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,119
five day week sports radio host, and it wasn't well

418
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,160
known what I looked like. You knew what I sounded

419
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960
like on the radio, but it wasn't well known what

420
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:18,000
I looked like because I wasn't on TV. This is

421
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:19,160
back thirty years ago.

422
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: Young good looking man for Planting School.

423
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 3: So the plant High grad is walking up to Andy

424
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,279
Hardy who's standing there smiling at me, and I said, Andy,

425
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,240
I'm TJ Reeves. He goes, I know who you are.

426
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,480
He goes, You're gonna have a rough one on Monday

427
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:34,559
with the Gator fans. That's what he said to me

428
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,039
on the Sunday. That's the first time I met Andy

429
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,920
Hardy is He's like, you're gonna have a rough one

430
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,119
with the Gator fans. I said, you're absolutely right. He goes,

431
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,759
I heard you all week and he goes, none of

432
00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:47,160
it turned out to people right. So it's very true.

433
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,480
That's thirty years ago. And by the way, the Gators

434
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,759
in that stretch owned Peyton Manning. He never beat them.

435
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119
By the way, the Gator fan famous phrases you couldn't

436
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,960
spell Citrus Bowl without ut for Tennessee and Peyton Manning.

437
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,200
So they ridiculed him. They beat him over and over

438
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,279
again with Tennessee. So there's it's interesting in this rivalry

439
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:10,039
because Urban Meyer had a ton of success against Tennessee.

440
00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,720
But as of late, the Balls, you know, have had

441
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,599
some success with Jeremy Pruitt, even before he disgraced himself

442
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,640
and now Josh Hipel in this series. This is at Knoxville.

443
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,680
This is Tennessee angry off the loss. Again, Napier's team

444
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,559
got their act together. So do I say it again,

445
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,599
I'm fearful of how they look in Knoxville. Thirty years later,

446
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,680
I'm saying the same thing about Florida and Knoxville.

447
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: Jason and I also want to give a shout out

448
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,960
to our guy Vince Ferrara. If you're at Tennessee coverage,

449
00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:43,720
go to ninety nine point one the Sports Animal and Knoxville.

450
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:46,160
Google that our guy Vince Ferra is the morning show

451
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,319
host there does a stuff pregame and post games Tampa.

452
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,279
Speaker 3: Brother from another mother, Vince up there in Knoxville. And

453
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,200
again for the Balls, this is a high wire act. Yeah,

454
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,480
this is a high wire act for the SEC title game.

455
00:22:58,519 --> 00:23:01,359
They've already lost a game now and they haven't even

456
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,839
gotten into the mix with Georgia and some of the

457
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,599
rest of their schedule Alabama later in the year. So

458
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,920
this is they gotta have this Saturday night in primetime.

459
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's go to Memphis and USF.

460
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yeah, Memphis and USF.

461
00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:17,079
Speaker 1: Right, So quick update. The game has been moved from

462
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,839
Friday to Saturday already.

463
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: We hope, we think. We think it's Saturday. We think

464
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,279
it's Saturday at three third eight. We know it's not

465
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,680
Friday night. It was to have been an ESPN standalone game,

466
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:32,480
but right now it is part of their onslaught of

467
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:36,279
games on Saturday afternoon, and that is to be determined.

468
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:39,319
It has not been announced officially yet, and that is

469
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,440
because of Hurricane Milton, and we don't know what's gonna happen, Jason,

470
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,640
And the biggest key about this is, let's say there

471
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,720
is a southward turn of the hurricane, as we played

472
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:53,039
meteorologists on Florida Football Insiders here on the pod. But

473
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,559
there is still the need for Tampa Police, Hillsboro County Sheriffs,

474
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:02,799
the EMS, the fire to go elsewhere and help how

475
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,519
do you staff a game at Raymond James Stadium on

476
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,559
Friday night or Saturday when you don't have enough police

477
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,599
for traffic control, for safety in the stadium, you don't

478
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,759
have enough EMS personnel for safety in the stadium, etc.

479
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,440
It takes several hundred people to staff a game like

480
00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:23,599
this at Raymond James Stadium. So that's why it's fluid.

481
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,160
It's fluid as to whether or not they're going to

482
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,839
play Jason Saturday afternoon. So at the time we're taping this,

483
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,440
they hope to play Saturday afternoon. Maybe it's Saturday night,

484
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,240
and dare we say it's maybe Sunday. And there is

485
00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:38,559
precedent for that. Two years ago with Hurricane Ian as

486
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:42,519
it came ashore in southwest Florida, we didn't know. They

487
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:45,839
didn't know in Gainesville if this wasn't gonna hit and

488
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,640
come right through Gainesville. So they postponed their Saturday game

489
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,839
with Eastern Washington and out of conference Payday game and

490
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,480
played Sunday afternoon two years ago in late September. So

491
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:59,640
it's not unheard of that the game could be Sunday.

492
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,279
Saying it's Sunday, we're saying stay tuned and it's a

493
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,079
huge game for Memphis trying to stay alive in the

494
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:08,079
American Athletic Conference because they already have a loss. They

495
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,240
took a loss to Navy. They can't take a second loss.

496
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,480
With Army and Navy both undefeated up at the top,

497
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:17,640
Tulane looking very good at the top as well. Memphis

498
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,559
doesn't play Army later in the year. They do play

499
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:22,799
Tulane at Tulama. It's a big game for Memphis, for

500
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,799
my alma mater when they come to town. Whenever this

501
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,039
game is gonna be played.

502
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: Give me a thought or two about just the last

503
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,640
two to three weeks for USP. A lot of hype

504
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,440
going into the Miami game. They played them well for

505
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,759
a half, got blown out in the second half, and

506
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:37,400
then completely laid an egg on the road at Tulane.

507
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: Yeahulaane, Tulane smoked them, and then Tulane turned around and

508
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,839
smoked Alabama, Birmingham UAB. So Tulane appears to be good.

509
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,079
You were at that Miami game. How much did it

510
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,160
take out of them the second half, the fourth quarter?

511
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,279
And I know the quarterback Byron Brown is also injured.

512
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:59,279
Now it's debatable as to whether he can play in

513
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:01,960
this Memphis game. But do you believe that Miami game

514
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,480
took a lot out of us F real quick?

515
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,839
Speaker 1: I do. Emotionally, I think as much physically. I think

516
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,200
emotionally it did because I think I think there was

517
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,960
a real path in theory if they could have beaten Miami,

518
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:13,039
you know, and they played them well for a half.

519
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,599
You beat Miami, you beat Tulane, you beat Memphis, all

520
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,640
of a sudden, you got a real shot here in

521
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,039
the in the AAC. But what I was just really

522
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:23,200
disappointed how bad they played at Tulane, and Tulane's been

523
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,279
good the last several years.

524
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: They were never in it. They were down, they were

525
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:30,680
down what thirty one nothing in the second quarter, and

526
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:35,599
never in it. So now USF schedule a little more

527
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,559
favorable here after this Memphis game. If they somehow could

528
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:42,880
win this, if if they play UAB at home, who's

529
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,759
a mess under former Buccaneer quarterback Trent Dilferd, then you're

530
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:50,759
at FAU. Now that's a revenge game from FAU beating

531
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,839
them badly with Tom Herman's team and running the score

532
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,640
up on them. Remember Herman kicked an onside kick in

533
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,880
Tampa last year up by thirty five points in the

534
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,160
second half, and I don't think they've forgotten that on

535
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,640
Foller Avenue at USF. But then the problem for the

536
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,160
Bulls is then they have Navy here at home as well.

537
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,319
I mean, there's a lot of land mines and they

538
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,359
have the one loss already in American Conference play, and

539
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,279
this will not be easy. Memphis can throw the football

540
00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:18,880
with Seth Hennegan and that warpspeeds. The Bulls better be

541
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,559
ready to score some points and outscore Memphis comes Saturday

542
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,279
or Sunday or whenever they play this.

543
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,839
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, there's a lot. There was a lot of

544
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,079
excitement three weeks ago. Now there's a big, a big

545
00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:29,119
needle in the balloon that just took the air out

546
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,119
of that program. The last reason we got to see

547
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440
we got to see them recover and rebound to get back,

548
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,880
because you don't want this to turn into a five

549
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:38,960
to six game losing streak because of a Miami game.

550
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,279
Speaker 3: So well, right, and if Brown the quarterback is hurt,

551
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,240
I mean they have a couple of other weapons. But uh,

552
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,799
I mean Alex Goldish was a hot name at the

553
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:49,839
beginning of the year, and now you've taken some losses

554
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,279
and I don't know how hot a name he is

555
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,519
right now at the moment. And let's see, Well, I mean,

556
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:56,240
what kind of crowd is there for the Memphis game,

557
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,640
depending on when it's played. Uh, stay tuned, stay tuned

558
00:27:59,680 --> 00:27:59,960
on that.

559
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:02,839
Speaker 1: So you mentioned FAU. FAU play Saturday, North Texas. We

560
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,680
won't get into that much, but they're home against North Texas.

561
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,119
FIU is playing. We're recording this Tuesday night. They're playing

562
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,079
right now, and it's seventeen sixteen. They're down one point

563
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,960
at Liberty, so they're playing one of the Tuesday night games.

564
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,119
They're down seventeen sixteen at Liberty, which Liberty is four notes.

565
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,279
So that's a good start for a good first half

566
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:25,640
for FYU Mike McIntyre, So keep that up. But they're

567
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,000
playing right now Tuesday night.

568
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,279
Speaker 3: Right, you'll know that result as the week goes on.

569
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,240
And again, you know, we gotta remain vigilant here because

570
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,400
you're mentioning about FAU and their game or UCF and

571
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,000
their game. What's this hurricane gonna do once it makes

572
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:44,279
landfall in Florida, Hawes that affect any other football it

573
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:45,680
might be going on the state as well.

574
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:49,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, listen to TJ Reeves Florida Football Insiders podcast.

575
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,039
He's sidelight. He'll be in New Orleans Sunday with the

576

580
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,160
looking for anything Big Twelve related. TJ does a great

581
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,759
job putting together coaches, interviews, analysts, all kind of stuff.

582
00:29:09,839 --> 00:29:11,960
Thank you, give me a Give me a thought about

583
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,519
a guy who got out of the state of four

584
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:17,920
In the Big Twelve. Roco Beck takes his all undefeated

585
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,119
Iowa state team up to West Virginia where his dad

586
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:24,160
is getting inducted into the Westerrnginia Hall of Fame.

587
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: What bet, What a weekend love. The Beck family have

588
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:30,599
known the Becks for the better part of twenty years,

589
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,000
ever since Roco was born. He's a Tampa's Tampa. How

590
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,960
did he get out of our area? I'm sorry, Mike Norvel,

591
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,680
was it recruiting rock O becked? How about Alex Goldish?

592
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,160
How about Jeff Scott? Before that?

593
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,319
Speaker 1: How would they not Jeff.

594
00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:48,039
Speaker 3: How were they not recruiting Roco becked at Wiregrass Ranch

595
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,160
High School in the Tampa Bay area and Rocco now

596
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,039
distinguishing himself in his red shirt sophomore year at at

597
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:59,319
Iowa State as a dual threat. Again, this is one

598
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:02,799
of the marquee games right now, with Iowa State undefeated

599
00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:05,200
and a chance to win in Morgantown. And Anthony's got

600
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,079
to be conflicted. I mean, he is all about WVU

601
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,319
most of the time, but this is his son. This

602
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400
is his son rolling into Morgantown. And they did the

603
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,920
Hall of Fame induction two weeks ago, but Anthony couldn't

604
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,240
be there because he was at Rocko's game. Now they're

605
00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:20,640
gonna honor him at halftime as part of the Hall

606
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,240
of Fame class as a former All Big Eiaes tight end,

607
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,720
a former number one pick in the NFL Draft. What

608
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,160
a story this is. If Iowa State can get to

609
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,880
six and oh and a West Virginia team that blasted

610
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Oklahoma State last week on the road fastenning game. Our

611
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,880
buddy Timmy b Tim Brando, and Devin Gardner are working

612
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,960
the game on Fox. I'm fascinated to watch that one.

613
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,079
Saturday night as well.

614
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,319
Speaker 1: And again this is a monster weekend for golege football.

615
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,279
Got you got Texas, Oklahoma, Yeah, I'm in Oregon, Ohio State.

616
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:48,759
Speaker 3: Wow.

617
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: And the Iowa State game is a big game. Colorado

618
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:55,039
Kansas State's a really good game. You got Penn State

619
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,119
at USC, big game, So you got at This is

620
00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:00,960
a big weekend, a big slate of games.

621
00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:03,599
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, throughout a lot of Now, the thing is

622
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:07,400
a lot of jockeying for who's gonna beware. But just

623
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,079
like the Alabama loss to Vanderbilt all right in recent

624
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,319
years that may have croaked you for the college football

625
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,640
playoff with only four teams, it doesn't croak you now

626
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,559
to take a loss, right, So for whoever loses some

627
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,359
of those games that you were talking about, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon,

628
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,279
Ohio State. If Penn State takes a loss at USC,

629
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,440
who took a loss last week to Minnesota, it doesn't

630
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,200
croak your season to take a loss here. It didn't

631
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,200
croak Tennessee either to lose at Arkansas. So stay tuned

632
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,880
because the playoff is what we're gonna remember more when

633
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,000
we get to December. And how do those teams over

634
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:42,200
those four weekends fair in the playoff is what we'll

635
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,480
remember more starting this year.

636
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:45,079
Speaker 1: All right, last thing, we'll get you down to do

637
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:47,680
a couple of NFL nuggets with the Florida teams. Obviously,

638
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,759
Miami wins in New England. They're on a bye week

639
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:51,519
this week. We don't know what the status of two

640
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,519
is coming out of the by probably won't play for

641
00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:56,920
another couple of weeks, I would imagine at the earliest.

642
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,640
Jacksonville finally gets their first win, almost blows the fourteen

643
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,880
point lead in the fourth quarter against the Colts, but

644
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,839
they figure out a way to get it done. And

645
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:10,680
then your Buccaneers a wild game last Thursday night in Atlanta.

646
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,359
Give me a thought or two about the Buccaneers Atlanta game.

647
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: There on the sidelines, I mean, they had that, should have,

648
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,599
could have, would have They had it three different times

649
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:20,200
at the end with the black field goal. Bucky Irving

650
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,920
gets the first down late in the game and the

651
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,319
clock's rolling, and then he fumbles right after that, gets

652
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:26,960
stripped on first down, and then they still get the

653
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:30,480
Levante David interception right after that and can't run the clockouts.

654
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:35,079
Speaker 1: So the missface mask kid offsetting penalty give.

655
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: The Falcons credit but it should have never come down

656
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,880
to the last second field goal to put it in overtime,

657
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,039
much less the overtime TD And now they've had to

658
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:44,000
relocate to New Orleans with the threat of the hurricane,

659
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,079
practicing preparing all week in New Orleans for the game

660
00:32:47,119 --> 00:32:49,519
in the Superdome. And we have found out late word

661
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,480
that Derek Carr's injury on Monday Night Football right is

662
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,480
going to be a significant injury. Correct.

663
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: The reports are he's gonna be out multiple weeks. So

664
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,799
you're probably gonna see Jake Ayner, the second year kid

665
00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:02,759
out of Fresno State, Wow, who played a little bit

666
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:05,279
last night on the Monday night game. You'll see him

667
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:06,279
play most likely.

668
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: But Buccaneer fans, what do we keep saying about first

669
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,559
time starters and rookie quarterbacks. We saw it with we

670
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,640
saw it with bow Knicks. It's whatever bugaboo voodoo juju

671
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,680
there is with first time quarterbacks or rookie quarterbacks. So

672
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:23,400
that's gonna be in the super Dome, and I'm I'm

673
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,279
fascinated to see because this is now a very winnable game.

674
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,079
Can Antwine winfield come back? We'll know that answer later

675
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,799
this week. He's been hurt the last four games he's missed.

676
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:34,759
They miss him badly.

677
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,759
Speaker 1: Nancy coming back.

678
00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:38,319
Speaker 3: Maybe so if the Bucks get a little healthier here,

679
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:40,799
this could be advantage Buccaneers in the super Dome to

680
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:42,279
get back on the winning track and get to four

681
00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:42,519
and two.

682
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: And I'll give our fans a little baseball nugget about

683
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,000
a kid from the state of Florida. Pete Alonso, the

684
00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:49,240
first baseman for the Mets.

685
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,359
