1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,439
Speaker 1: See I'm throwing this quote at you and it's unfortunately

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,639
going to a UT fan.

3
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:08,279
Speaker 2: What does that mean because you're gonna well, you've run

4
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:11,679
on biased. Listen to your voice? Sorry, why John? That

5
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:12,320
voice already?

6
00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:14,439
Speaker 1: Kind of what happened when Sark called out that reporter

7
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:16,079
and said something stupid? What did I say? Did I

8
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,600
defend him? You said Steve Sarcazi and is godlike? Yeah, exactly, No,

9
00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:22,000
I didn't say that. I said that it was ridiculous

10
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,199
and he shouldn't have said it. And I also I

11
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:26,039
think I called him out on shut you obam mass up.

12
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,839
I don't know how you're gonna run you mess up? Yeah,

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,679
rocket all feisty. He was asked about the team struggles

14
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:39,200
against P four teams. Yes, quote, I mean, how many

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,320
teams are there in college football? One hundred and thirty six.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,759
Take the other one hundred and thirty five and have

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,840
them go play at Ohio State and at the Swamp

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:53,039
see how they do. Okay, So let me go first

19
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:55,399
before you have a chance to think about it. Okay, Well,

20
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:58,719
I've heard these comments before. You are the freaking University

21
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,039
of Texas. You are a national program. You are expected

22
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:07,120
to compete for and potentially win national championships. You were

23
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,439
expected to play top flight competition. You are expected to

24
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:16,519
not play Utah State and Central Arkansas and Eastern Missouri

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,079
and those other dregs. You are to play the Thoroughbreds,

26
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:22,760
the number ones that the landmark Hall of Fame upper

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,599
echelon school, like the reigning national champion on the road. Correct,

28
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:31,719
I no shame in that whatsoever. Complaining about playing at Florida.

29
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,640
You joined the SEC, your decision. No one forced you,

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,319
nobody pulled you into the SEC.

31
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: You knew.

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Steven Persa, I'm talking about anybody

33
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:45,040
you knew at the University Texas. You're going to be

34
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,680
playing a much higherly competition. Look, I love the Big Twelve.

35
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:49,680
I'm happy to be in it. But the Big twelve

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,239
isn't as good as SEC. The SEC is number one

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,079
conference and it's going to be that way probably for

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:54,799
the rest.

39
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:54,959
Speaker 2: Of the time.

40
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that's what good is says you drop

41
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:01,319
in a little. Well, what do you expect going to Florida?

42
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:03,599
I expect you to be the better football team. I

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,799
expect you to have forgetting about nil, forgetting about you.

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,800
Just you are two time national semi finalist game, you're

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,759
supposed to go win at Florida. Florida is in a

46
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,360
down period of their time, Billy and Apier is on

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,120
very thin ice at the University of Florida. You've got

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,479
the number one quarterback in the country, you have routinely

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,680
top ten fifteen recruiting classes nationally.

50
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: You're supposed to win those games.

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,159
Speaker 1: Now, Florida and Florida's competitive sec is difficult, But blaming

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560
who you have to play as to well nobody else

53
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:40,000
could do this is apparently ridiculous. Okay, there's a couple

54
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:42,360
things here. First of all, I don't think he's blaming

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,360
and saying, well, yeah, their schedule has been super hard.

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,080
He said, well, they he was asked about beating Power

57
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,919
four teams and they've only played two Power four teams

58
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,199
and those were on the road in the Shoe and

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,240
on the road in the swamp.

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: And it is a.

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Fact those are two very difficult road environments. But also, yes,

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,039
he's being overly defensive and arrogant. What I guess he

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,199
wants is he wants to play Kentucky and South Carolina

64
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,000
every No. No, I think he's saying, yeah, you're saying

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,159
come back to me in a few weeks when we

66
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,280
haven't had to play two in the toughest road.

67
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: Vice.

68
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:15,479
Speaker 1: I get where he's coming from. He's just framing it

69
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:18,439
in a very arrogant way, because well he's he's a

70
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:21,599
college head coach and Steve sarkis and is, as we've

71
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,319
seen in front of reporters, very arrogant.

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,759
Speaker 2: So here's how I think you do it, and you go, man.

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: We have played a really, really tough schedule, going to

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,520
Ohio State and going to Florida so far in the

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,319
first month and a half of the season. It's presenter

76
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840
of challenges and we look forward to bouncing back. I

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400
think you can always turn it to a positive spin

78
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,759
because that's who you are. You have to have some

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,919
sort of dynamic ability in front of a microphone. You

80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,159
just have to he should, yes, what he's kind of

81
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:55,199
in the ballpark of how he should have framed it

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,280
and said, you know what, we've we've taken care of

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
business at home and then the losses that we've had

84
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,319
or on the road in the shoe and against the

85
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:05,520
Florida team in the swamp with their backs against the wall.

86
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,599
So we're looking to get better. But it's also been

87
00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:09,240
a tough road for us something like that. Right, But

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,280
the way he says, well, if you look at everybody

89
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,080
else and they had to do what we had to do,

90
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,120
I'd like to see where they are. That's that's not

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,319
placing blame on others, right, It's not the right way

92
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,759
to do it. So another mishandled press conference from Sark.

93
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,519
I mean, right now, I have a question.

94
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: It's just he's kind of implying as well that UTEP

95
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:37,120
and sam Houston State aren't competitors at all.

96
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: And he would asked specifically about power power for school schools,

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,519
but those aren't power school.

98
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: And then my question, the second question is if Penn

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,839
State head coached the same thing about u C l

100
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,040
A or Oregon, would that be the same.

101
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, James Franklin is gonna be saying

102
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,560
a word. Yeah, I feel like.

103
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: Sark should be the same way, like you lost a Really,

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,120
they weren't even ranked regardless if it's the known swamp.

105
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,319
The swamp has been bad before as well as Ohio

106
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:05,240
State has been bad before.

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,639
Speaker 2: I just I think that's like Ross is saying.

108
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: It's just it's just a it's a it's a bad

109
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,199
taste in your mouth, especially if I was his athlete.

110
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: Does that mean sense?

111
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Penn State lost it in front of

112
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,360
like twenty thousand people at UCLA and nobody cares about

113
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,000
that program, and UCLA is terrible.

114
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different.

115
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, the point is he, yes, he had him,

116
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:28,800
He had it laid in front of him to I

117
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,399
guess you could say excuse making or whatever losing on

118
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:34,720
the road in the shoe. There's no to the reigning

119
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,600
national championship. They're champion. There's no shame in that, and

120
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,279
I a plat for playing it. And frankly, as I've talked,

121
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:43,800
played four, maybe we should stop telling these good teams

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,480
to play good teams because it obviously isn't a bad

123
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,199
juju throat.

124
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: You didn't get. You didn't fix yourself in the three

125
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:50,120
games you.

126
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: Had against winnable opponents as you came back to playing

127
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:55,759
slugish football. It's week to week and everything will be

128
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,160
all better if they can just beat Oklahoma, which their

129
00:05:58,199 --> 00:05:59,199
favored and I believe.

130
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: They do now.

131
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,079
Speaker 1: Don't don't tell Jonathan I sent you a sound clip.

132
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,639
Don't tell Ross who it's from. Uh Oh, but I

133
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,519
was able to find a man who I when I think,

134
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:09,959
when I respectfully think of who can give me the

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,319
real pulse of Texas football? Oh boy, I thought of

136
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,480
this person. Play the sound bye, please.

137
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,959
Speaker 2: Give me, give me two seconds. Okay, it's somebody.

138
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: When you think of college football analysis, a real heartbeat

139
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,439
on Texas, you think of this person.

140
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: Here it comes, loading, loading, loading, loading.

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Loading, Okay sports mt on Instagram.

142
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: No, don't, don't do that. I'm almost a three thousand

143
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:39,560
less Oh my god, here it.

144
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,399
Speaker 4: Is Tarkisian right here on national television. I respect this man.

145
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,600
I like this man, and I think that for the

146
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,319
most part, he's been a hell of a coach. I'm

147
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,879
very disappointed with what I've seen from Steve Sarkisian this year.

148
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,680
To me, Paul, he has coached scared. He has coached

149
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:01,279
like somebody who's been forced to deal with all the allure,

150
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:05,360
all the attention and notoriety that comes associated with Arch Manning.

151
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,240
And he has not lived up to the billing any

152
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,000
more than his quarterback has. And I think that he's

153
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,439
been feeling the precious.

154
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Since the opening of the season.

155
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:14,879
Speaker 3: Paul.

156
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,079
Speaker 4: I think he has coached like it, and I think

157
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160
that an example, for him to say what he said

158
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,759
as a quote, what do you mean, you know, how

159
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000
would they do your Texas? You came into the season

160
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,480
ranked as the number one team in the nation. And

161
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:32,160
this ain't Florida that was coached. That's been coached by

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Urban Maya. No disrespect. Okay, Urban Mina is not there.

163
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:37,639
He's not walking through that door. Tim Teboway's walking through

164
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,920
that door. This this is a different Florida Gators program.

165
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,040
For him to come out of his mouth and say that,

166
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,399
to me, just speaks to the level of disappointment everybody

167
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,199
should be feeling about Steve Sarkisian because I think that

168
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:52,800
he has coached scared because Arch.

169
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,399
Speaker 2: Manning is there.

170
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,639
Speaker 4: There was huge expectations and he's been dealing with all

171
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,319
of that instead of just coaching football like he knows

172
00:07:59,360 --> 00:07:59,720
how to coach.

173
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,879
Speaker 2: Fotot fall. There you go, Stephen A. Smith, right on

174
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,680
top of things at the University of Texas. All right,

175
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,680
