00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.

Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each

5
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:18,399
other on the air roll from the live from the

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,280
Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge Studio. It's off the bench.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,359
Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back in nour number three of OTB

8
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:30,320
here on one O four five ESPN Baton Rouge. I

9
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,039
am very excited to catch up with our next guest.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,799
It is Josh Pate, who is the host of You Guessed,

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,520
The Josh Pate College Football Show. Also he is the

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,000
head coach, offense and defensive coordinator and athletic director for

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,359
the Pate State Frights.

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,359
Speaker 3: Josh, what is going on? Sarah? Glad to have you

15
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:46,799
on the show.

16
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 4: I'm glad to be here. I don't know why more

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,359
people take that approach. Just fill every single role that way,

18
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,799
either at a total success or a total failure, and

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
not some gray area. I know.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: We got Billy Napier out here with seventy three blue

21
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,400
polos in his team picture. He's got a coordinator of

22
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,040
game changing moments when Billy could just do it all himself.

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: It's look, it's something that I fully plan on sending

24
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,760
a handwritten letter to every athletic department suggesting we'll see

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,359
if they take it.

26
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:20,439
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, So Josh here obviously, like we're oning

27
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,560
in Louisiana. So we've been following college baseball. Lshue makes

28
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,439
their run, they win a championship, but pretty soon after

29
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,519
it's like, okay, well we can see in the distance

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,280
it is football season. It is on the horizon media days.

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,480
We'll be here in a couple of weeks. Like, what

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,239
about for you, Like, are you ready to fully jump in?

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,079
Obviously you do college football year round, but once baseball

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
finishes up, it's that last sport of the calendar year

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,159
for the twenty four to twenty five cycle, and now

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,159
it truly does feel like football season.

37
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: Are you like cannonballing into the deep end?

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,439
Speaker 4: I kind of am, but I was never I never

39
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,359
viewed the calendar that way. College baseball for me, I mean,

40
00:01:57,359 --> 00:01:59,480
I know this is really really dirty to say, down

41
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,640
in your neck woods. The college baseball for me, I've

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,879
always thought of it as the audio bed, if you will,

43
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,039
sort of the background noise as I'm already getting ready

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,599
for college football, Like I'm watching it, but even when

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,680
I was way, way younger, I always thought of it

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,000
as that's what's on the TV in my room as

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960
I'm reading Phil Still's magazine or something like that. So

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,439
I'm already in, like I've been in for thirty minutes,

49
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:28,120
and now everyone's jumping in and they're complaining about how

50
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,240
cold the water is, and I'm like, just give it

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,280
a second. You'll like, you'll acclimate, you'll adjust. The worst

52
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,879
part to me is all this stuff we've been talking about,

53
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:42,240
whether it's the house settlement, whether it's the playoff realignment,

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,479
which format is the best? Some of us and I

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,840
assume you guys have done this too, We have talked

56
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,159
to we're blue in the face about it. And you

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,199
know as well as I do. You'll get up to

58
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:54,719
Atlanta in a few weeks for media days and they'll

59
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:58,800
be people almost speak as if they are breaking news

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,240
that those are on the agendatory Guys, did you know

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,439
they're going to expand the plus? What do we think

62
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:04,960
about it?

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,039
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no question about that. That is absolutely how

64
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,599
it always plays out.

65
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: But as soon as you said Phil Steel magazine, like

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,800
I have to ask you, I got to get your

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
grade on this. So in the magazine the last three

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,639
years overall my serious XM show me ej Manuel, Bobby Carpenter.

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,240
He's allowed us to put our all meathead team together

70
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:27,400
because look, we're three meatheads, and it's like it's a

71
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,400
term of endearment. So we get to go like a

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,159
full twenty two, like eleven on offense, eleven on defense.

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,039
If you got to select an all meathead quarterback for

74
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,159
college football this year, who would you go with?

75
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you who we picked after I hear

76
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:42,120
your answer.

77
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: Oh man, it's only it's tough. Let me think. Let

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,800
me think what level did you go? P five or

79
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,240
G five five?

80
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:56,159
Speaker 2: I went, I went power for and I went with

81
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:02,400
somebody that's a true If he would have won one

82
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:04,039
of his games at the very end of the year,

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560
we'd be talking about him way more.

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: Well, then you're not talking about Pavi, are you.

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,759
Speaker 2: No, he was in the running, so diego. Pavia was

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,599
in the running. He actually, Okay, I'll go ahead and

87
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:15,599
tell you because they'll give you an idea. We went

88
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,199
with Haines King Georgia Tech. If he beats Georgia in

89
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,160
that eight overtime game, I think we're talking about him differently.

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,160
Now know, Diego Pavia beat him in a bowl game

91
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:27,120
as well, but we went with Haines King because he

92
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:28,680
is tougher than a two dollars stake.

93
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, you're describing their entire team.

94
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,759
I like what you're saying about King. I feel about

95
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:39,639
their entire team, both in terms of identity but recognizability too.

96
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,000
If they would have won that game. And the reason

97
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680
you're saying it like that, I assume is clause, you know,

98
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,079
scenario A, Scenario B, they're pretty much the same player,

99
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,040
They're pretty much the same team, except scenario B they

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,399
end up, you know, winning the coin flip eight overtime whatever.

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,439
Everyone's all of a sudden talking about him as a

102
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,720
sleeper for the ACC Championship. They're talking about him as

103
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,040
a fringe Heisman contender, and I look at it and

104
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,639
I say, well, why aren't they those things? Anyway? I

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,959
legitimately think Georgia Tech can compete for the ACC this year.

106
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,160
I think if you put let's say, if you put

107
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:20,920
a Florida State helmet sticker on that team and you

108
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:24,360
just described everything about their returning production and this and that,

109
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,680
people would be a lot more free and easy to

110
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,040
pick them to compete and win. It's just they haven't

111
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,040
seen Georgia Tech do it. So understandably, there's a lot

112
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,120
of doubt out there in the college football public about that.

113
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,399
I don't have that doubt. Like I love what Brent

114
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,720
Key is as a coach. I love that program. That

115
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,720
team perfectly reflects his identity. Like watching them play, it's

116
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:49,680
like watching his thumbprints on a team. And they get

117
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,480
their biggest two games at home this year and elsewhere.

118
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,680
I think they may be favored in the other ten.

119
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,000
I just don't know that folks have like realized they

120
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,000
should take them seriously.

121
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 5: Yet you're talking about Haines King a just a hell

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,199
of a East Texan as well. Yeah he's right there

123
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,920
from Yeah he's from Longview, Texas and his dad being

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,639
a head coach, just like a tough, tough kid. Josh,

125
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,839
what's up, man, This is Matt flinn Man. Pleasure to

126
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,839
talk to you. My mind is always going to go

127
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,800
towards the quarterbacks, and we just talked about Haines King there.

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,800
But in the summer you're kind of looking for stories

129
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,560
to talk about. But something popped up pretty good, and

130
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120
I'm especially interested in stories about quarterbacks and a positive

131
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,800
light and doing things the right way. But nor Seller,

132
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,680
South Carolina quarterback who just came on so strong last year,

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,399
he got a lot of hype going into this year.

134
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680
The story comes out from his dad that he may

135
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,560
or may not have turned down eight million dollars NIL

136
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,160
deals to stay there because his dad said, well, we

137
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,319
made a commitment. We didn't go there to make a

138
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:49,920
bunch of money. Came there to be a student athlete,

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,560
win championships, do things the right way. When you saw

140
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,959
the story, what is that like? As a quarterback who

141
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,639
tried to do things the right way? It made me

142
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,399
feel awesome be a fan of this kid. So what

143
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,079
do you think about that story? Just like the nil

144
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,920
mess and when it comes to quarterbacks.

145
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: I'm glad it came out. They were talking about that

146
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,360
on campus the spring when I was up there, and

147
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,680
you know, it's his personal business, so it's his story

148
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,199
to tell. I'm not, you know when I'm privy to

149
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,480
that stuff, like I'm not some newsbreaker. But I said, well,

150
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,319
why why don't you tell that story? That story? It's

151
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,519
not braggadocious to tell that story. It really helps the

152
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,120
overall sport to tell that story. I'll tell you another

153
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,319
one that's done. That is rock Obeck up at Iowa State.

154
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
That kid could have made three times what he's making

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,680
in ames Iowa to leave the past two years, by

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,000
the way, and he stayed there. Now, you can say

157
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,920
what you just said, and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,439
Like that right there is a glaring example of what's

159
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,680
good and what should as me and Ma always say,

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
but also think about how think about how that perspective

161
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,720
ends up working. You've got what you know what I

162
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,000
always call penny wise pounds foolish approaches to college football,

163
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,279
and that is this guy's offering me more. I'm going

164
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:05,480
over there, and it just maybe to like a fan,

165
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,839
that makes sense. Oh, that guy's got to go get

166
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,319
his money while he can. No It oftentimes doesn't even

167
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,920
make sense in that vein because at the expense of

168
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:20,800
your development, your progression, and your future earnings potentials, you're

169
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,399
going and chasing sixty thousand extra dollars. And that's great

170
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:26,600
in the moment. Sixty k is not going to matter

171
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,000
to you fifteen sixteen years down the road. But yet,

172
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,879
having stayed the course, especially at a place that's good

173
00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:37,159
for you, if you're in a toxic place. That's different

174
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,480
if you leave a place that's good for you and

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,639
you're the guy saying, hey, I wanted to stay there,

176
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,840
but I had to make a business decision. Maybe you

177
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,559
just made the wrong business decision. So I'm glad that

178
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:47,480
story went public.

179
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great story. And Josh, don't break news

180
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,240
here if it's not public. Infert I was trying to

181
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,679
look for it as well. But he gives up eight

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,200
million to go. Do you know what he's like? His

183
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,120
takeome is right now with South Carolina.

184
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,519
Speaker 4: Well, so it was gonna be an eight million over

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,639
two years, So it was gonna be I think about

186
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,759
a four million per year. He's not making that there,

187
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,919
but he's making more than half that I think there.

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,559
And South Carolina is a place that they're gonna like

189
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,679
most places that know what they're doing, they're gonna pay

190
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,399
on a scale that is in accordance with performance and

191
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,639
real value. And so he's gonna make good money there.

192
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:30,159
But also I want you to pretend you're a major

193
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,960
enterprise in the state of South Carolina and your CEO

194
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:36,519
is a lifelong game talk and he graduated from there,

195
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
and you listen to that story. If you weren't already

196
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:42,639
on board with underwriting a huge portion of your ad

197
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,879
spend this year for Lenora sellers in South Carolina Athletics,

198
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,679
now you are so in just telling the truth and

199
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480
being loyal to a program. He probably made himself even

200
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,879
more money and got himself closer to that four million

201
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:59,720
per year figure by doing that than he ever needed

202
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,519
to leaving.

203
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 5: That's a great Yeah, it is you do things the

204
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,720
right way, and hopefully it trickles down to other people

205
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:11,240
around the country when they see it. And man, I think,

206
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,440
you know, of course we're everyone's lsu fanc here, but

207
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,559
I mean, that's the kind of story where you've got

208
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,519
a hard time cheering against that kid at least.

209
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that. I think that as you come

210
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
out of what we were calling the wild West era

211
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:30,919
of portal, you know, I think if people handle their

212
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,279
revenue sharing the right way, you're going to see a

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,840
lot of that roster turn slow down, which is a

214
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,120
good thing. But I think about now, let's say ten

215
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,039
fifteen years from now, we're kind of safely removed from

216
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:44,720
this era whatever we end up calling this era. And

217
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,600
I always think in terms of like a documentary in

218
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,600
the present moment. I think, at any given times, what

219
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,120
is the documentary fifteen years from now saying about this time?

220
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:57,960
And I cannot help but think about you know, when

221
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,279
thirty for thirty came out with the Broke documentary about

222
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,639
how many NFL guys squandered their earnings, and they had

223
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,600
those guys on camera, and those guys talked about how

224
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,559
foolish they were and how they wish they had to

225
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,200
do over. I think fifteen years from now, your transfer

226
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,440
portal or NIL documentary is going to be pretty heartbreaking

227
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:19,440
case by case scenario, of course, when you have guys

228
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,000
on camera who were taking advantage of and had a

229
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,320
lot of predatory individuals from the shadows get in their

230
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,200
ear and tell them all the wrong things, and they

231
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,039
ended up at three or four different schools, not because

232
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,159
they needed to, but just because they could and they

233
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,720
didn't know any better. And now here they are had

234
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,799
all the potential in the world and they've been done

235
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,080
playing football for thirteen years. By fifteen years from now.

236
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's any question about that.

237
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: Catching up with Josh Bate here on OTB talking from

238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600
college football, I'll stay with quarterback in the SEC because

239
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Josh for me one of the storylines that I'm going

240
00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:56,399
to find highly intriguing once we get to media days

241
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,039
in Atlanta. When you look at the quarterbacks in the

242
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,480
SEC LSU, South Carolina, Florida, ou Vandy, like they've got

243
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
quarterbacks that they feel really good about, guys that have

244
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,519
done it before, guys that have thrived in college football.

245
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:12,320
But then you look at some of the normal powers

246
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:16,480
a UGA, A Tennessee, A Texas, an Ole Miss and Alabama,

247
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,840
and they're going to have first time starters. Now it's

248
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,159
not to say that they're going to be bad football players, obviously,

249
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,120
Texas Ole Miss feel really good about their quarterbacks. But

250
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,159
how much does that change your outlook on the SEC

251
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:29,720
knowing that the teams that typically have won the SEC

252
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,519
in recent years made it cause football playoff or hitting

253
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,080
reset at quarterback and some of those other teams feel

254
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,159
really good about quarterback.

255
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 5: Well.

256
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: The added part about that for context for people just

257
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:44,120
kind of driving around listening or sitting in the office listening,

258
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,080
is you would think, with that being the case, the

259
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,919
odds would look a little different this year, but they don't.

260
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:52,399
The odds still look pretty much the same, Like no

261
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
one has any clue what they're going to get from

262
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:57,559
gun or Stockton in Georgia. But yet they're right up

263
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,879
there along with Texas as the face to win the conference.

264
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,679
Alabama's right up there. No one knows what to expect

265
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,759
from ty Simpson. And then conversely, you look at DJ Lagway,

266
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:09,480
the guy came on really strong at the end of

267
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:11,639
the year. Flord is down the board a little bit,

268
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:13,679
partly due to schedule, but they're down the board a

269
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,919
little bit. So it's funny how there's such a benefit

270
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,519
of the doubt. There's so much equity built up from

271
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080
some of these power programs you go beyond the SEC.

272
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360
You can say the same about Ohio State right now.

273
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:27,799
You can say the same about Oregon right now. No

274
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,159
one knows what to expect from those qbs, but they're

275
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,320
up there anyway. They've earned that benefit of the doubt.

276
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,720
And I'm not saying they haven't. But what if, just

277
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:40,200
for a second here, what if you get B level

278
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:44,559
quarterback play and nothing better, nothing less from those new guys.

279
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,879
We did this little exercise on our show the other night.

280
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,440
Is I always expect B level quarterback play from a

281
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,879
new guy, and it's not because they're not capable of

282
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,919
AA plus level play. It's just that's the exception, that's

283
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,759
not the rule. So in order to not let myself

284
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:03,519
down and suffer heartbreaking December, what happens to the rest

285
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:05,840
of your team? If arch Manning plays at a B level?

286
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:08,159
What happens to the rest of my team? If the

287
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,120
two guys at Bama and Georgia respectively play at a

288
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:14,320
B level, Well, they're still capable if they win the

289
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,840
close games and you know, are plus in the turnover margins,

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,039
they're still capable of winning the league. But what it

291
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,120
does is it opens the door wide for like a

292
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,639
Texas A and M to make her run, or like

293
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,720
we just had a South Carolina to make her run,

294
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:28,840
and that normally wouldn't be the case. You'd normally be

295
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,759
looking at those caliber rosters saying they're probably another year

296
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,639
or two away, and then you could extrapolate that same

297
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,639
cinement nationally. What if none of these guys just elevate

298
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:42,159
themselves and it really is, you know, a sledgehammer fest

299
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200
come playoff time, and you're looking at it saying this

300
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,279
is just an exception to the rule. In terms of

301
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:51,200
the landscape, it really does feel like we're in November

302
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440
and there are twelve or fifteen teams that could win

303
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,240
this thing if they get hot in December.

304
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: It's a good question because the any championship team, any

305
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,799
good time team, your quarterback is going to have a

306
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,720
B game, right, You just can't have a B season

307
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:05,120
or you're not going to stand a chance. But every

308
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,200
quarter and so the team's got to overcome those B games.

309
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,799
That's why it's the greatest team sport. But Josh, I

310
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,639
want to talk the With the expanded playoffs, the opening

311
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:17,759
game has a little bit less impact than it used

312
00:15:17,799 --> 00:15:21,039
to on the you know, your chances to make the playoffs,

313
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:24,240
make a run. We got two SEC teams going on

314
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,399
the road week on big matchups Texas at Ohio, State

315
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,639
of course, LSU at Clemson. What's your opinion of teams

316
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,759
like this kind of going out of the ordinary and

317
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:37,000
scheduling these big matchups on the opening game.

318
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:41,559
Speaker 4: Well, I love it independent of anything else because I

319
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,159
just think that's what the sport should look like. And

320
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,000
I also love those those games you're mentioning. They're not

321
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,600
these you know, sanitized neutral site affairs. Either it's someone

322
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:53,960
going to someone else's building. That's what this sport is

323
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,960
supposed to be September through November with very few exceptions,

324
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,799
So I love that. Now, the obvious context of that

325
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,879
question is, yeah, but what if you lose while everyone

326
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:05,639
else is playing a pree puff and it ends up

327
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:10,279
being held against you. Well, that's why I think there's

328
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,840
been a lot of talk this past few months, especially

329
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,519
about all the playoffs stuff, But I don't want to

330
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,879
just overlook something else that's being reported, and that is

331
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,360
all the talk about recalibrating the selection process and recalibrating

332
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:30,399
the criteria and specifically recalibrating how they define strength to schedule.

333
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,759
And I think that is obviously been born out of

334
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:36,000
folks from the SEC and to an extent, the Big

335
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:39,120
Ten like yelling at the top of their lungs. Come

336
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,799
December and the selection process happens, and they're saying, wait,

337
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,360
why do you guys keep talking about records so much?

338
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,559
This is college football like in the NFL. Yeah, you

339
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,519
are what your record says you are. That's one of

340
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:52,320
the biggest lies you could tell about college football because

341
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360
of the vast disparity in strength to schedule. So you

342
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,679
guys either need to fix this or we're not scheduling

343
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,480
these games anymore because trust does we can go schedule

344
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240
for Creampuff, take the four and oh and be happy

345
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,079
to go into conference play. We want to challenge ourselves.

346
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,039
We want to make the money off the gate that

347
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:10,799
we get when we challenge ourselves. We want to offer

348
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,240
spectacle for the broadcast network that we're in media rights

349
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,720
fials with. But we're only going to do it if

350
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,400
you don't even have to reward us for it, but

351
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,160
don't punish us for it. So I still think we're

352
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,160
in an era where that's going to change, and I

353
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,720
think you'll continue to get those games. But just forget

354
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:28,680
a US playoff for a second. Just just college football.

355
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,880
I love it. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to

356
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,079
be looking forward to this time of year. It's not

357
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920
you playing alcorn State all due respect, it's you going

358
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,720
on the road to Clemson. You it's Ohio State posting Texas.

359
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,559
It's the man, what are we going to look like?

360
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,400
I remember thinking this about Miami going to Florida last

361
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,920
year and then think about that result. It's just college

362
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,960
football is such a wild card sport, but especially Week

363
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,720
one of college football, it's a total roll of the dice.

364
00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,599
But in like the most fun way possible.

365
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: All right, there is Josh Pay good enough to join us.

366
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,279
Speaker 2: Man, I just got really fired up for I know

367
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,160
we talked about being on the horizon and it might

368
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,119
already be here.

369
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: I love your thoughts on the opening week two.

370
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the same way, like, let's go ahead, let's

371
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,799
play a giant, Let's play a power forward team. I

372
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:15,960
do not want to play directional school you either as

373
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,559
a player, Josh, Man, I really appreciate your time. Look

374
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,039
forward to our next conversation. Hopefully we can do this

375
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:22,079
again in the near future.

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I appreciate it.

377
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: Guys.

378
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: All right, there is Josh Paate, host of The Josh

379
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:32,160
Pay College Football Show Sunday Tuesday Thursday, eight pm Eastern Time,

380
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,519
so seven here locally.

381
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,839
Speaker 3: You can catch that on YouTube. Does a fantastic job.

382
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:39,119
I love his insight. Man. A lot of different things

383
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,559
to transfer portal week one.

384
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about some of that Week one stuff

385
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,079
when we come back. And I know there's some people

386
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,039
here in this building that want to play directional school

387
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:51,480
you and I understand your point, but I'm just telling

388
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:55,599
you the all seasons different, and look, LSU has been

389
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:59,559
horrendous in season openers they have. It is looked clunky

390
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,039
as hell. Well, but I do think they're doing something

391
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,960
this year that is going to help out a little bit. Now,

392
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:09,960
once the ball's kicked off, it's all on you, but

393
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:13,559
I'm saying, building up to the game, there's something they're

394
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:15,480
doing over there that I think is going to help.

395
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: We'll tell you what that is when we come back

396
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:17,720
here on OTV.

397
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:23,599

interrupted times a Landra.

425
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:15,519
Speaker 2: Did you find a new artist on your road trip,

426
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:19,079
somebody you had not really heard of before that found

427
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,359
its way through the ears?

428
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 6: There's one, but I can't remember the name of it.

429
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:25,839
Speaker 7: Yeah.

430
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 8: It was a good song, for sure, but it was

431
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,079
like a long name. It was like three different words

432
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,960
change your life, Like the artist's name was like a sentence.

433
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 6: So okay, fair enough, But it was mostly just stuff

434
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,599
that we all.

435
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,079
Speaker 5: What kind of what genre was it?

436
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 6: It was like indie.

437
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:44,559
Speaker 3: Coffee house preaching.

438
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:50,319
Speaker 8: It wasn't coffeehouse, you know, like the twenty tens, like indie. Yeah,

439
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,640
maybe alternative a little yeah, but.

440
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 5: It was seattle.

441
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 3: Like were talking.

442
00:21:59,319 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

443
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 8: No, it was kind of like killers Ask, which isn't

444
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:06,160
really indeed, but it was like a combo.

445
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 5: Artist.

446
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 6: It was a male artist. Rivers will know.

447
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: Artic monkeys.

448
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 6: It's three words.

449
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 8: I'm trying to think of somebody to compare them to.

450
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,079
Speaker 3: All Right, it's okay, we'll find out the answer. We'll

451
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,480
get there.

452
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:28,559
Speaker 2: I want to talk opening games here. I want to

453
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,880
go around the room. I want to get everybody's there.

454
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:34,480
I want to get everybody's opinion on this opening game

455
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:39,000
against a big time Marque opponent. I love it as

456
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,799
a player. That's what I wanted. I wanted somebody to

457
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,559
look at and say, we got to be ready. We

458
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,799
don't have time to wait because we've got this team.

459
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:51,200
I think we we broke it down the other day.

460
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,400
I think, uh, three of our four years, three my

461
00:22:54,519 --> 00:22:56,240
four you were here five. Three of my four years

462
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:58,599
we played a Power four opponent in the opening game,

463
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:01,319
and the one year we didn't, we played one in

464
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:06,559
game number two I believe, because then we go ulled

465
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:09,720
then Arizona I think in six maybe.

466
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: So I loved it.

467
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,839
Speaker 2: It gave me an opportunity to like just see who

468
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480
I was going to play, know that they were, you know,

469
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,200
doing some of the same things, they had, some of

470
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,319
the same athletes that we had, and it was always

471
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,519
something that I felt like helped me prepare for the

472
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:27,200
first game. Now we all know that LSU is zero

473
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,400
for five in their last five season openers. It has

474
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,519
been Mississippi State when you were playing a defense that

475
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:36,720
you never should against a Mike Leach offense.

476
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 3: You should never play that defense.

477
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: Right, They're going to hit another crosser as we're having

478
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,240
this conversation, and then the next season you go to

479
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,720
the Rose Bowl and they run counter right up. You

480
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:55,599
know what, right, Zach Charbonay just hit another counter. Florida

481
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,480
State back to back years. Right, we all know the

482
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:01,680
first game in New Orleans debacle. I mean, special teams,

483
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,240
multiple kicks block, just a hot mess, Okay, and then

484
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,039
you got the next year. Laforesa just beat you the

485
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,680
next year, right, I mean you had some momentum, you

486
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:11,680
had an opportunity. You don't put the ball in the

487
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,599
end zone, they just beat you. And then last year

488
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,519
right USC they made the plays you did not, Okay,

489
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,680
So it's been a lot of different ways. It's been

490
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:24,720
different coaches, it's been different players. This year, I think

491
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:28,160
it's a point of emphasis over at the OPS building

492
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,920
to make it a big deal and not hide from it,

493
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:33,799
where I don't know that that's been the case in

494
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,519
years past. I don't know how they handled it, but

495
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:38,960
I've noticed like there's a lot of one to zero

496
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,279
right all across the building.

497
00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:42,519
Speaker 3: There's a lot of Clemson.

498
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: There's a lot of like messages to what is in

499
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,079
front of you and not trying to shy away from it.

500
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,759
And that might sound so elementary, it might sound like,

501
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:54,039
oh my god, why does that because it's just the

502
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,720
constant reminder for players and coaches as you're getting ready,

503
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,359
you don't have time time to wait around and figure

504
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:02,680
it out.

505
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,319
Speaker 3: You got to get it figured out.

506
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:08,559
Speaker 5: Like an athlete psyche who the phone was going off,

507
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:12,119
Sorry people, but then on silent an athlete psyche is.

508
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:15,839
I'm not gonna say they were delicate, but it's very

509
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,400
malleable from what it coach. That's why a coach, especially

510
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,640
the college Elmos is so important. How they get your

511
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,759
mind right, how they prepare you. And I remember like

512
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:24,279
when we used to open up and this is no

513
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,400
shot at anybody, but like when we used to open

514
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,279
up with Ull or whoever, it was those types of

515
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:32,640
games in the off season, when you're hot and sweaty

516
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,640
running one tens and you're leaning on the person next

517
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,160
to you, you're fighting, you're sweating, you're bleeding with your

518
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,680
brothers all off season. Having something to focus on is

519
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:47,920
so important. Hey, I remember when we'd have those games

520
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,920
that weren't big, it was you know, what do you

521
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720
think Florida's doing right now? You would talk about other

522
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:55,319
teams that were looking.

523
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: Past that, and this is not Look, we're not like

524
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:00,799
sitting trying to draw bombs and have shape. We never

525
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,519
were like what do you think ULL's doing right now?

526
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:05,839
Speaker 3: Just that didn't happen, but it did.

527
00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: What do you think Mississippi State's doing right now? What

528
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,359
do you think Oregon State's doing right now? Like in

529
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,319
some of our openers, Yep, you never heard it when

530
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,240
it was you know, a group of five school.

531
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Josh brought up such a good point, and

532
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:19,839
there's so many like butterfly effects to decisions made on

533
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:23,240
expanding the playoffs, changing the rules of the playoffs, all

534
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:28,359
that stuff, because I do not want to lose the

535
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:32,160
opening day big game. And that is exactly what's gonna

536
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,039
happen if they make it strictly record wins and losses.

537
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:37,440
Blah blah blah. You can truly with a twelve person

538
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:42,920
playoff ruin your season by scheduling these big games. Then

539
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,039
you're gonna see people just shy away from them. I

540
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,240
don't think that's gonna happen. I want to keep seeing

541
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:50,519
them as an athlete, as a player, As a former player,

542
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,359
I did not want to play the smaller schools. I

543
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,039
hated those games. I hated them. People can be like, oh,

544
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,359
it's so stat patter looks good, blah blah blah. Get

545
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,920
the guaranteed win, so what. I hate it not playing

546
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,519
the top competition just the same. It was hard to

547
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:08,039
get up for it.

548
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: Ye try to explain that from your perspective as a quarterback,

549
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,960
because I try to say it like if we were

550
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,559
playing Fresno State, Like in my mind, I was doing

551
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,160
the same exact routine, I was watching the same amount

552
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,839
of tape, I was doing all the same things, but

553
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,160
in reality, I was not, because if we were playing

554
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,400
Auburn or Florida or Alabama or whoever it was, let

555
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,440
me watch this third down package, Hey, let me watch

556
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,359
his blitz pick up.

557
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,759
Speaker 3: Hey, let me watch his short yardage goal line situation.

558
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,279
Speaker 2: And you just organically found yourself doing more, staying later,

559
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,039
having more conversations, and you weren't trying to.

560
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: It's just that's the way it happened.

561
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something to be said for just like the

562
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,440
you did the practice schedules the same. The coaches do

563
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:51,319
a great job of trying to keep the schedule like

564
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,559
the exact same, and you never you never try to

565
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:59,200
think that Alabama game is bigger than Fresno State or

566
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,960
Louisiana Tech. But it is, and you feel there's a

567
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:05,920
there's an unsaid knowledge there that no one has.

568
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: The time I got fired up, I got fired up

569
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,559
good dogs to play louis Antech because look, my my

570
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,880
wife's dad, uncle, my mom, her mom, she had a

571
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,880
cousin on the team. My best friend in the world

572
00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:19,759
was on the team. So I was a little fired

573
00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:21,799
up for that one. But that was because of circumstance,

574
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,759
not because of who it was.

575
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, Daniel and the chatter are saying like some

576
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,440
sort of combination of BCS algorithm and committee like the

577
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:35,079
BCS system. To me, probably with a twelve man team.

578
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: Like a twelve man I say, the only problem with

579
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,839
the VCS was it was.

580
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: Just two teams, right even with even when they expanded

581
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,640
a four, probably pretty darn good.

582
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,759
Speaker 2: That's why I don't understand why in college baseball we

583
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:48,160
always talk about RPI and Jay Johnson comes on this

584
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:48,960
show all the time.

585
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: RPI our prawer, here's why we did this.

586
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: Uh, when we have Matt McMahon or Kim Molky on,

587
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:55,400
it's like we talk about the net and we talked

588
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,599
about the kN palm. We talk about all these systems

589
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,440
that we have, and we don't have that in football anymore.

590
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,119
But if we add it back to the old BCS

591
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,319
system and we had at least a ranking, and I'm

592
00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:07,559
not even saying that you don't have a committee, now,

593
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,079
I would trust the old BCS system, But if you

594
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,799
want to throw a human element back into it, at

595
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,279
least if we had a BCS system or rank them

596
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,599
whenever we go to sixteen one through sixteen, and then

597
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:20,920
if that committee put nineteen in over sixteen.

598
00:29:21,319 --> 00:29:23,559
Speaker 3: Then that would really you know, raise some hell.

599
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:26,799
Speaker 2: But you would have this metric that the coaches like

600
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,599
they could use and they when it comes to scheduling,

601
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:32,559
like there's a strength of schedule component that goes into

602
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,480
the algorithm.

603
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,039
Speaker 3: Then you would have more teams scheduling like LSU does.

604
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, make it, make it black and white at least

605
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,400
on how the power rankings are there. And then of

606
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,000
course there's a little bit you know, there's going to

607
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:48,960
always going to be a human element to everything, because

608
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,079
I'm sure it would take in consideration to like coaches,

609
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:54,279
bulls and a peoples and all that stuff, like those

610
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,599
things would be those things would be in there. But

611
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,960
I think just some sort of clear struck sure. But please,

612
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:03,640
for the love of God, don't take don't make it

613
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:08,480
completely one hundred percent about record, because as a college

614
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:11,640
football fan, as a fan of good football and just

615
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:14,119
being excited for the for the preseason and the lead

616
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,160
up on everything, Man, don't don't they will take away

617
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,079
those big games if you make it about that. If

618
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:24,079
you make one loss ruin an entire year, you always say, yeah, well,

619
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,480
twelve teams, like you still control your own destiny, which

620
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:28,279
is great. There was.

621
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, was it the year that Michigan won the

622
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,160
Natty A couple of years ago, they didn't play a

623
00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:34,960
Power for team in the non con Yeah, I'm pretty

624
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,799
sure right, they play.

625
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, because that was the that was the Jim Harball suspension.

626
00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:42,240
Not remember they basically let hit Michigan pick which games

627
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:45,279
he was suspended, and it was like bowling Green and

628
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,960
Acron and teams like that. Yeah, because they didn't have

629
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:54,559
any Power five non conference and they won the Natty.

630
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480
That's why, in my opinion, strength of schedule doesn't matter

631
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,960
in the current format that we have.

632
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,559
Speaker 3: It doesn't. No, it doesn't.

633
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:02,359
Speaker 7: You go ten and two, you're one of the top

634
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,200
three teams in your conference, You're making the playoffs.

635
00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:04,599
Speaker 5: That's it.

636
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 8: Uh.

637
00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: Power for championship games, should you be penalized?

638
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: We've had some.

639
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean Georgia two years ago, Alabama in the SEC

640
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,200
championship game, they don't get in, then they beat the

641
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:21,920
hell out of Florida State in the Orange Bold to

642
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,480
prove a point.

643
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 7: And then this year flip it SMU was not penalized.

644
00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:30,680
They lost that conference game to Clemson. They both get in,

645
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,000
so we've seen it both ways.

646
00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: They wanted what they just wanted sun shmiw SCHMIW. Yeah.

647
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:40,519
I don't think if you if you make the conference

648
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:45,200
championship in a power in the top ones, top conferences,

649
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,880
you should not be penalized for that. You shouldn't be

650
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,880
kicked out of the playoffs.

651
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:53,039
Speaker 2: Uh, all right, when we come back, We've got Brett

652
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,079
inside the bay U four chat and wants to know

653
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,960
about your feelings during two thousand and seven whenever we

654
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:02,240
started to find out, Oh no, they're going to mess

655
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:03,480
up and let us back in this thing.

656
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:04,119
Speaker 5: Let's go.

657
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: I think I've told that story plenty times before. We'll

658
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,440
get Flynn's side.

659
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 5: I also want to bring up, just to quick some

660
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,079
snippets on maybe one of the most impactful athletes of

661
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,160
all time that is doing some things right now that

662
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:18,960
is crazy.

663
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,119
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll have all that for you when we come

664
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:21,720

00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:29,079

won an award. They have a lot of banners. Oh

676
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:57,960

677
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,519
Speaker 5: So website look at that. Unbelievable as well.

678
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,759
Speaker 2: And you know what, just like the Intimidator, they got

679
00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:05,799
to add. They got to add to the website because

00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:07,599

00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,759
Matt and Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.

689
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:47,359
Speaker 2: Not you, man, I feel you inside the Bay four chat,

690
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:50,240
he says, Damn Jake. You know the Braves won fourteen

691
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:55,359
straight NLS championships and you go with the Yankees It's

692
00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:55,920
a good point.

693
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,119
Speaker 3: We didn't finish.

694
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: You know, thirteen of those got one in nine before

695
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,160
the Braves won the last one a couple of years ago.

696
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,599
And I'm still hurt by Jim Larrets. Man couldn't do

697
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,679
that again if he tried. Man couldn't do that again

698
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,719
hit that home run if he had one hundred more attempts.

699
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:15,239
I'm one of those people that hope nothing but bad

700
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,840
things sometimes for Jim Larrets. I'm gonna be honest with you,

701
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,039
same thing I say about Mitch Williams and Lenny Dyksha

702
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:24,519
and rest in peace, Darren Dalton and that whole Phillies

703
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:25,039
crew as well.

704
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,519
Speaker 3: So good point. Good point.

705
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: Not you man, you were blabbering about something. Yeah, I

706
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,119
don't think something about athletes.

707
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really wanted to talk about like we doesn't

708
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,280
probably get the headlines down here on many of the shows,

709
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,440
or definitely this show, but we really need to start

710
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,800
paying attention to one of the more more impactful I'm

711
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,440
not gonna say the greatest, but probably one of the greatest,

712
00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:54,159
have one of the greatest impacts in their sport in

713
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,079
the history of sports for what they're doing. That's the

714
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,360
one Caitlin Clark. We're gonna bring up w n B

715
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,679
A talk about just for a minute right here, all right,

716
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,760
I does not know that that's where you were going.

717
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,119
You didn't, all right. I was scrolling, all right, So

718
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,440
I was scrolling. I was scrolling. I brought up golf, and.

719
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: We're going to break up like tennis or cycling.

720
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:18,639
Speaker 5: We're going to bring up cycling in a couple of weeks.

721
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,039
N B A no, no, w n B A. All right,

722
00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:26,480
So I want you I'm going to tell you some stats,

723
00:35:26,519 --> 00:35:27,920
and I want you to think of an athlete that

724
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,920
has a has had a bigger, bigger positive bigger, a bigger.

725
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,239
If you're going to crack out everything, I'm rested for now,

726
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,599
it's gonna be like a nine hour show. It's uh,

727
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,239
there's nobody that's had a bigger impact or.

728
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:51,599
Speaker 3: Sorry, oh good good, I'm good. I'm sorry. I apologize.

729
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 5: Are y'all laughing at the w n B A no, A.

730
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,199
Speaker 3: Little bit of a bigger.

731
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,039
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of both for me, because I mean, look,

732
00:35:59,039 --> 00:36:00,239
I mess up boards all time.

733
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 5: Sure well, it's kind of like a combination of like

734
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,760
big deal and bigger. So I just got like kind

735
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,800
of Yeah, I'm a little list exic. It's fine. Sorry, sorry,

736
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,079
I want you to think of an athletes have a

737
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:15,440
bigger impact on their game. So, before she got to

738
00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:18,719
the WNBA, and we're talking about like the ESPN National

739
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,800
Game for the WNBA was averaging like three hundred and

740
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:27,719
ninety four thousand viewers. Her rookie year, they averaged one

741
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,880
point one to nine million on it, which is like

742
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,119
a two hundred and two percent drop. Twenty two of

743
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:37,079
her games exceeded a million people in viewership. Of that

744
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,000
she was televised her debut is like two point one

745
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:44,800
three million. In comparison, their games were one point one

746
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:47,960
eight million average viewers. Every other team was three hundred

747
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,559
and ninety four thousand viewers. And then again in twenty

748
00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:53,320
twenty five, like they aired one of her games on ABC,

749
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,039
two point two million was the average viewership of that game,

750
00:36:57,079 --> 00:37:03,519
It like spiked to like two point eight million. And

751
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,760
then when she was hurt, the average for this season

752
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,440
has been one point eight million viewership. Now it's like

753
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:12,719
a fifty something percent jump from last year, but when

754
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,039
she got hurt and she wasn't playing, it dropped over

755
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:18,960
fifty percent to like eight hundred thousand viewers. So you

756
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:22,800
go from one person playing getting amazing ratings, which they

757
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,840
had never done. They averaged two years before over three

758
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,400
hundred thousand viewers. Now they're averaging one point eight and

759
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,079
then when she gets hurt, it drops back down over

760
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,400
fifty five percent. Now, tell me if there is an

761
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,000
athlete has that has ever had an impact on their

762
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:42,880
particular sport, like Caitlin Clark has an appreciate and she's

763
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,599
not even leading the league in a lot of things,

764
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,679
Like you see the threes, she's not even top three

765
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,360
and threes, like average threes made per game, like she's

766
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,320
leading the league or tied for like assists or something.

767
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,639
She's playing great, and she's like leading and like all

768
00:37:55,679 --> 00:37:57,280
Star picks and all that stuff. Not saying that, but

769
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,320
like having that sort of impact and not even like

770
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,719
and she's famous for three's not even leading the league

771
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:03,840
in average threes per game.

772
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:06,519
Speaker 3: I would.

773
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: Burden Magic the NBA was struggling a little bit. That's

774
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,519
a combo. It's not one singular person. It's the only

775
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:16,159
one I can kind of. When burd and Magic had

776
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:19,559
their rivalry and they were going back and forth, Lakers Celtics,

777
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,000
the NBA needed them badly.

778
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 3: They had to have them. And that's really I don't

779
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,800
know if y'all have another one.

780
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,159
Speaker 2: That's the only one, maybe Sosa Maguire in their home

781
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,360
run race that they had, right they were going back

782
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,239
and forth to try to beat Roger Merris's single season record.

783
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,000
That kind of saved baseball after the baseball strike in

784
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:43,039
the early nineties. But that was because of circumstance, right,

785
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:45,239
it was because you had to strike. Baseball was a

786
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,840
little boring at the time, and here come these two

787
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,840
guys who may or may not have been on pds,

788
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:52,199
who cares, are hitting the ball far and it was fun.

789
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,280
But like to your point, all those have been tandem.

790
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,000
Hasn't been singular.

791
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 6: There's one little the only thing I can think of.

792
00:39:01,679 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 8: And maybe this is just me because I'm not like

793
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,320
a big golf follower, but one that I like. I

794
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,639
don't know what it was like before him, but Tiger

795
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:15,000
Woods kind of put golf, and I don't know, it's a.

796
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,559
Speaker 3: Good one, so Tiger would be Tiger still has it, Yeah,

797
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,119
long time.

798
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 7: He's kind of doing it now golf like since standpoint,

799
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,000
Scotty's kind of but he's bringing a lot of eyeballs too,

800
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:30,159
because you always want to see that one dominant guy

801
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,119
like to her point, like I mean, after Tiger got old,

802
00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:35,559
like Scott, he's kind of the next guy that's bringing

803
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:36,079
everybody in.

804
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 8: I just didn't really know anything about golf until Tiger

805
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:42,599
Woods was a thing. Like I was kind of young

806
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,559
whenever that whole scandal happened. But like I that's the

807
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:49,199
only thing that I ever really knew.

808
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,159
Speaker 2: About it was the only thing I knew was Hal

809
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,599
Sutton and David Toms for from report, and I watched

810
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:54,360
them when they played.

811
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 5: I mean, it was a middle aged white dude sport

812
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:58,559
from whoever played it or watched it.

813
00:39:58,679 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: Really.

814
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 5: I remember I would have it on when I was

815
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,199
grown up and it was so boring. But then when

816
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,960
Tiger came on, I was like, all right, I can

817
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:07,719
watch this for sure, and he made such like his

818
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,199
impact probably great greater than the Caitlin impact. This is

819
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,760
a very short term situation, but that is like when

820
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,280
you have the top like fifty golfers playing right now

821
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,119
that all like gush over tiger Woods, like Scotti Scheffler.

822
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:26,679
You're seeing Warrabbit's got tiger Wood shoes on, Like that's

823
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,239
like that's the impact he had.

824
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like for golf, now you kind of know

825
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:35,719
more of the people, like I know Jordan's Spee, Scottie

826
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:39,960
and Brooks, Kapika or I don't even know if it's Kapika.

827
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 6: I don't even that's what I'm saying, like I've only

828
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:42,559

834
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: To your point, like nobody to what you're talking about

835
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,800
with Kaitlyn Clark, nobody when he comes with.

836

Speaker 5: Yeah, you all kind of like poke fun of me

837
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,320
for like bringing it up, but like it's a real.

838
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,119
Speaker 3: Now, that's a real had nothing to do with it

839
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,039
was the word you made it.

840
00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:13,039
Speaker 5: Well. I mispronound sports all the time, I know, but.

841
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:15,159
Speaker 2: It's funny because then you kept saying it right, but

842
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,559
it still sounded like it was wrong.

843
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:19,559
Speaker 3: Just what made it fun exactly?

844
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: I will I've told this story with Taylor and Laundry

845
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,000
in the room, but I'll tell it with you.

846
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:27,559
Speaker 3: So my father in law, who played in the NFL.

847
00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:30,159
Speaker 2: His brother played a decade plus in the NFL, my

848
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,039
brother in law who played college football. They've both been

849
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:35,039
a tunne of LSU games, so they've seen crazy atmospheres.

850
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 5: Right.

851
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: They went to the Masters one year and they followed

852
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,360
Tiger and they said, it's not even close. The best feeling,

853
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,039
the most electricity they've ever felt in a sporting event.

854
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:50,199
And again they've been everywhere they've seen everything. Was the

855
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,199
crowd following Tiger Woods to Augusta. They said it was

856
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,039
you couldn't even compare it to anything.

857
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,639
Speaker 5: Yes, oh my god, all Tiger fans, that was such

858
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:03,719
a you for to day watching them do that. I

859
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,199
can only imagine what it was like walking through that seat.

860
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: I said, it was incredible. They said it didn't matter

861
00:42:09,639 --> 00:42:11,840
where they've been, what they had seen, nothing compared to that.

862
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:16,440
So to your point, all right, the show is only

863
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:23,199
going to get biggerer as we continue to deal. We'll

864
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,440
wrap it up when we come back here, OTB, I mean,

865
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,159
trust me, just give me enough time and I'll say

866
00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:32,079
a word that does not exist, all right, Something that

867
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:37,760
does exists is doci words see exactly letters why you

868
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,280
