41
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,359
you remember about the rivalry game? What made it so special?

42
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:54,040
Growing up and then playing in this game?

43
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it goes way back for me.

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,959
Speaker 4: I have memories of the BYU Utah rival recent time.

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: I was a kid, I.

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: In fact, nineteen eighty five, it was a year, it

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280
was a snowy day. We got a call from a

48
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,080
neighbor of ours that had I think they had eight tickets.

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,599
So I called all my little sixth grade buddies and

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,400
had our parents drop us off at the stadium.

51
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: We ended up sneaking down.

52
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: We were on the front row as la Haye Louly

53
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:23,840
ran a they was like a sixty yard touchdown and

54
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:26,439
we ended up all on the camera standing up in

55
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:27,520
the in the crowd.

56
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,759
Speaker 3: So great memory as a kid. I mean, I think

57
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,360
every time I.

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 4: Played a game it was BYU versus Utah and everything.

59
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,319
And so fast forward from there to be at BYU

60
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,719
in ninety eight. And you know that Lavelle Edwards at

61
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,960
that time was a roll around of the golf cart coach.

62
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:48,199
You know, he had his coordinators that did everything for him,

63
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:51,199
and so he'd make his appearances in practice and roll around.

64
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:54,280
Will come to the game of the Utah game that week.

65
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:56,599
He had us all huddle up around and we had

66
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,599
a big red tackling Demi And this is a year

67
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,159
before he retired. He threw that thing on the ground

68
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:05,680
and started kicking it to get us all hyped up.

69
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:06,039
Speaker 3: It was.

70
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,479
Speaker 4: It was probably one of the greatest things I ever

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800
seen Coach Edwards do. And and then that year we

72
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,919
went on on to we played it at in Salt

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Lake City at Rice Cycles and we ended up. Let's see,

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,400
they had the best kicker in the nation, one of

75
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:23,199
the top kickers in the nation, and we brought him

76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,719
down to the very end of the game where he

77
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:26,520
had a chance for I think it was like a

78
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,879
thirty eight yard field goal, just at gimme field goal,

79
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,000
and he hit the goalpost and.

80
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Everyone stormed around the field.

81
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,199
Speaker 4: And then as much as you know Derek, Derek Stevens

82
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,199
in our middle linebacker, his dad was in the in

83
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,759
the stands on the front row and a Utah fan

84
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360
was getting in a fight with him, and Derek jumped

85
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,560
into the stands to join the fight as Derek's dad

86
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:52,360
laid out the the Utah fan and gave up bloody nose.

87
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,319
And yes, great memories. It's such a great rivalry. And

88
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,759
I feel like I'm really excited that we're going to

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,560
have the big the group out there on the Saturday morning, UH,

90
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,240
to really really highlight what this rivalry is.

91
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Great stories.

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,759
Speaker 2: I mean, look everybody, I think has a story or

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,160
two about this rivalry game as a fan, as a

94
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,240
as a media member, as a football player, and so

95
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:28,519
because of all those anecdotes, because of all those unique experiences,

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,560
you know, we love this rivalry game. And what's crazy

97
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,399
is how competitive it's been over the years, right, It

98
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:39,279
really has been extremely competitive.

99
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,319
Speaker 1: It's a little bit lopsided in the modern era.

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,639
Speaker 2: I think Kyle Winningham's twelve and two all time against

101
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,680
the Cougar Sins taking over in two thousand and five,

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,560
but he's on a two game losing streak right now.

103
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: It's on a two game yeah, right now.

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 5: You know, last year, as we start to renew the

105
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,079
rivalry and you get a lot of guys like I

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,439
had Qwan come come over to the shop last year,

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120
and I just started feeding these guys what this rivalry

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,279
really is, to try to get them to understand how

109
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:09,959
big it is.

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what. You know, if you talked

111
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,920
to Qan today about it, you.

112
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: Know that that one of the biggest rivalry games ever

113
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:18,720
played in you know. And and that's the same with

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,839
Trey Alexander and and I mean these guys just dancing

115
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,759
around the inZone last year after the game, and but

116
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,319
really felt the energy of the rivalry and it's going

117
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:30,759
to be super excited.

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,199
Speaker 3: It's great to have two ranked teams.

119
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 4: I wanted us to be undefeated and I wanted Utah

120
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,519
to be undefeated to make it even a bigger game.

121
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 3: But I'm excited for the game.

122
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: I think that we we got to minimize some of

123
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,800
the mistakes that we made against Arizona. We got to

124
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,759
really lock things down a little bit. And I think

125
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:50,560
we'll have some of our some of our go to

126
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,399
guys back with Jack Kelly and and uh, you know,

127
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,959
I haven't heard on Raider Demuney.

128
00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:56,439
Speaker 3: I'm hoping Raiders raiders back.

129
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: When he took that hard hit to the ribs, you

130
00:05:58,759 --> 00:05:59,879
know that that looked painful.

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I gotta correct myself. I was doing my

132
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:07,319
Mathew Gricley. Kyle Whittingham's eleven and five all time against

133
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:10,720
the bau Cougars since two thousand and five as the

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,199
head coach.

135
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: But do you think he came back to I.

136
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: Do I think his legacy? My theory is this, My

137
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,120
thesis is this. I guess I should pose the question first,

138
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:30,800
is Kyle Whittingham's legacy as the greatest coach in Utah

139
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:37,120
football history, based more so off of his dominance versus

140
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:45,199
BYU okay or his double digit win seasons and shared

141
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,800
conference championships in the Pac twelve and really never truly

142
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,639
getting over the hump into that elite status, right, like

143
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,959
you know which one is it? More so based off

144
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:02,079
of and I tend to lean more towards the rivalry

145
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,319
game than what he's done outside of the rivalry game.

146
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:09,199
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, I think.

147
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 4: It depends on who you ask, right and uh and

148
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,199
and after Saturday, I.

149
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: Think some people's opinions might change. You know.

150
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: I think Utah fans going into this game, it's a

151
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:24,040
it's a huge one for his legacy, you know, whether

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,240
or not it ends up being that, you know, I

153
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,560
don't necessarily think so. I think he has been a

154
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,079
great coach. He's been great for the state of Utah.

155
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:32,519
Speaker 3: Uh.

156
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,439
Speaker 4: He he's a players coach, just like Colonia is. And

157
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:37,879
and I know that that his players love to play

158
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,279
for him. He's done a lot for the university. And

159
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,199
you know, let's be real, he's a he's a BYU alumni.

160
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, the greatness comes from the fount of

161
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,040
of b Yu right.

162
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: The Provo. It does the Provo pipeline.

163
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: If you will look at all the coaches in the

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,680
NFL in college foot ball, you know they came out

165
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,360
of BYU.

166
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,399
Speaker 1: It was a good one.

167
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: There's a great pipeline coming out of Provo right now, there.

168
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: Is how do well? And for me, you know, I

169
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:11,800
look at this game.

170
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:14,199
Speaker 4: You know I never wanted Utah to win it, and

171
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:17,600
then all of a sudden, my teammates were coaching at Utah.

172
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:20,360
You know, I had I had Klate and a Rod

173
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,279
and then Jay Hill from Rix was coaching there. So

174
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,839
everything kind of changed at one point where it's like,

175
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:29,519
you know, I wanted Utah to win their games, except

176
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:31,399
I want them to always to lose to Beway.

177
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: You every year.

178
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: Totally get it. So how do you see this game

179
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,720
playing out? You know, they're from an objective metrics standpoint,

180
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,120
what they've been able to produce on the football field

181
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:44,600
thus far.

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: They mirror each other to a degree. I mean they

183
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:48,519
really do.

184
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Sure they mirror each other, and they're more alike than

185
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:56,080
they are dissimilar. And they Utah is a slight favorite

186
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:59,879
heading into Lavelle Edwards Stadium, So I like that.

187
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,799
Speaker 1: What do you what do you make of his Well,

188
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,720
I mean I liked.

189
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,639
Speaker 4: That that that that we're the underdog at home with

190
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,679
a with a better ranking and a better record, because

191
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,799
that's going to drive some fuel into the players and

192
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,720
the coaches, uh.

193
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: You know there.

194
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: I feel like I watched you know, a number of

195
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,440
plays of the Utah name this past week against Arizona State,

196
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,360
and you know, I felt like they were they were

197
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,159
kind of one dimensional, you know, and in their attack.

198
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,679
Now now they didn't have to do much more because

199
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:32,919
they were pretty much rolling over Arizona State.

200
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: But they are real similar, real similar. And that we've

201
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,279
got quarterbacks that can run the ball.

202
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,759
Speaker 4: We've got two offensive lines that are amazing, you know,

203
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,840
super strong, able to move the pile. That and I

204
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:48,240
think that in the end, the team that wins this game,

205
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:51,600
it's going to be down to that that the offensive

206
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,279
and defensive lines and who is able to control that

207
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,879
line and and that's really going to determine it. I

208
00:09:57,919 --> 00:09:59,519
do think special team is going to play a big

209
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,519
role this week. These rivalry games bring out, in my opinion,

210
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,879
these the special teams extraordinaries. You know, with Keeland last

211
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,840
year on the kick return man, Parker's just just feels

212
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,320
like he's just close to breaking the punt.

213
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: You know, so, I think the Special Team is gonna

214
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,240
play a big role this week.

215
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: But man, I'm just excited this is that that week.

216
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,159
It's probably the only week that I post on my

217
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,519
Instagram stories every day about the rivalry.

218
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: You know, just just a little bit.

219
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,399
Speaker 4: Started out with Max Hall of course, one of his

220
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,320
with his favorite interviews of all time. And you know,

221
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,639
so it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna

222
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,799
be interesting to kind of see who gets out and

223
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,200
who gets in front. These games are are momentum based games.

224
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:51,080
You know, we get whoever has that momentum is at

225
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,720
the end of the game that last five six minutes

226
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:54,120
of the game.

227
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: The momentum is is typically who wins that game. So

228
00:10:57,759 --> 00:10:59,799
it's it's going to be interesting to see who can

229
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:02,840
hold old more momentum throughout the entire game than the

230
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:04,480
other team. And I feel like that'll be the winner.

231
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,840

Speaker 1: Koog's love it man.

246
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: Well, we appreciate you always joining us. A couple lest

247
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,799
things before we let you go. What was your reaction

248
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,399
when you saw James Franklin being fired from Penn State after,

249
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720
you know, being a top ten coach in college football

250
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
over the last decade. I mean, like he was in

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,799
the colleg football Playoff in the semi finals last year

252
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,919
and all of a sudden, he's five hundred through what

253
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:22,000
six games or so, and the donor base, the fan base,

254
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240
the athletic department is kicking him to the curb and

255
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,960
paying him almost fifty million while doing it. They they

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,240
are hoping that somehow, who's the who's the most beautiful

257
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,559
woman right now in.

258
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:40,399
Speaker 1: The in the world is it?

259
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,879
Speaker 2: They're they're dumping their wife of ten years, twelve years,

260
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,960
hoping that somehow, some way, what like Sidney Sweeney's gonna

261
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,440
answer their call, answer their text, answer their DMA.

262
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: Jalos still up there, but you know, jos Man, Hey, hey,

263
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,360
Jalo's getting old.

264
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: He's just an like they are hoping like, Hey, I

265
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,159
hope they answered. I hope Sidney Swinny answers might call,

266
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,840
you know, hopefully fingers crossed.

267
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:10,799
Speaker 1: Sorry, we got a lot to offer here at Penn State.

268
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:12,600
We have a lot to offer.

269
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 4: So my feeling initially when I heard it, I was

270
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,759
kind of embarrassed for the program all together, for the

271
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:25,799
athletic department. I felt like, I'm not a Penn State fan,

272
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,120
but I felt let down that they could let basically

273
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,559
the expectations are excellent or you're out.

274
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it.

275
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: You can't have a bad season, according to the Penn

276
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,600
State administration. And yeah, that's kind of the real feeling

277
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,360
that I had. I was just embarrassed by how they

278
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,320
handled that. You you you're not going to have an

279
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
exceptional season every single year.

280
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,919
Speaker 3: There's so many factors that play into that. So and

281
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:57,039
and in the end, let's say they go.

282
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:59,759
Speaker 4: And get the higher that they want, right or they

283
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:03,960
get the the dream candidate that they they always thought

284
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,960
they wanted and the guy comes in and and and

285
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,080
half the half the players transfer out right and he

286
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,120
starts over and has a bad season next year? Are

287
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,759
you going to fire him now? Or are you going

288
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:14,440
to give him a chance to have a bad season?

289
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,519
You know, so they've set a precedence that is it's

290
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,960
it's gonna be hard to hold every single guy to

291
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,240
that same standard, or you're going to be driving through

292
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
coaches year after year and uh it, and and the

293
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:33,759
grass isn't always greener. I think that he absolutely should

294
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:35,600
have given him through the end of this year to

295
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:38,000
see if he could turn that thing around. And let's

296
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,039
look at some of the teams they play, like U C.

297
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,000
L A Is coming coming out to be a pretty

298
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:43,480
darn good team now, right.

299
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:47,759
Speaker 3: I don't know. I I don't think that it was

300
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:48,360
the right move.

301
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: I think that that the administration is allowing the donors

302
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,600
to do and have too much of a say in

303
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,039
the program itself. And uh to say that I I

304
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,120
hope it backfire as I don't because I don't hope

305
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,360
that for the players, But sometimes I hope it for

306
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,840
the administration because I don't think that they're looking at

307
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,799
it with the in the right perspective.

308
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: What it shows me it's kind of the disconnect. Even

309
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:14,919
like if I take a study, an individual study the

310
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,240
PAC twelve for instance, and what led the PAC twelve

311
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:21,000
to die a slow and painful death.

312
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: The administrators, the.

313
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: Decision makers were so disconnected from the reality of the

314
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,639
college football situation, the game of the game, right, They

315
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:34,600
had no idea what was changing, They had no idea

316
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:39,679
what was going on. And do that humorous their pompous nature,

317
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:47,240
their entitlement, they fell prey to the pride cycle, right

318
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:52,559
and overvaluating themselves, overvalued themselves, etcetera. Like what's been happening

319
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,320
over the last five years with the transfer portal and

320
00:15:55,559 --> 00:16:02,080
with the free market, capitalistic college football landscape that we're

321
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,159
living in now, is that you're becoming more like an

322
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:13,480
NFL league, which means the Kansas City Chiefs can beat

323
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:15,960
a team that I mean, what have they got to

324
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:19,279
five hundred now? Kansas City is right now at five hundred. Yeah, right,

325
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,399
Like you could be a five hundred team and still

326
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,480
make it into the playoffs because you're the best team

327
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,440
at the end of the year, but you're a three four,

328
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:29,440
five loss team, but you're the best team in the playoffs, right,

329
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:31,240
Because it's about trending in.

330
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,759
Speaker 1: The right doors. At the end of the year, you're

331
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:34,799
gonna see more parody.

332
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:38,519
Speaker 2: You're gonna see two and three loss teams eventually getting

333
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:41,519
into the college football playoff. That's what you're gonna see.

334
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:46,200
And there's way more parody. There's a reason why Nick

335
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Saban's out of the business now. He saw the riding

336
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,200
on the wall. He knew he could not happen a

337
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,559
monopoly anymore. He knew it well.

338
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,559
Speaker 4: And the amount of money that's coming in from outside

339
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:01,279
sources that might not have been a fill with athletics

340
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,319
prior to nil and prior to these opportunities to make

341
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,000
money within the NCAA football industry.

342
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,519
Speaker 3: There's now there's so many more hands involved in each team.

343
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 4: There's so much more money, millions and millions of dollars

344
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,559
that's coming in with expectations placed on that like these

345
00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:25,319
guys aren't putting that money in without expectations, and so

346
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,000
I think there's just too much going on around some

347
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,799
of these teams where there's too many, too many hands donating,

348
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,839
too many hands that are saying, my money's here, and

349
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720
I expect this out of my money. And if I'm

350
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,519
not getting this return or I'm not getting X, Y

351
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:43,799
and Z, then something has to change. And then the

352
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:46,160
pressure that they put on the administration's got to be

353
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,519
a mess.

354
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, the incompetence is seeing new levels in my opinion,

355
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,000
in this modern era from a leadership standpoint, you're seeing

356
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,319
it everywhere. Jared, we got to run, but it's always

357
00:17:58,319 --> 00:18:00,000
