Speaker 3: Here, shout out Jeb Willy, watch you boys from speed Well, Tennessee.

Speaker 2: Through and eight through and great, I'll have to show

24
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:25,079
keep up the great work. Hell yeah, Jeb. The Brady

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,480
Kane comments about not name Branke Kelly a little crazy.

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,719
I don't know if I saw this. I have seen

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,920
coach Kelly.

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 6: He said that really yeah, he was like the Kelly

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,239
comments may be mad when he said we didn't have

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,120
the resources or the money to compete. So I have

31
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:44,040
personally made it my mission to get all this money

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,599
put together. And I'm like, okay, but like if you

33
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:48,400
did have all that money put together, like Kelly was right,

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,760
you didn't have the you didn't have the money, you

35
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:51,719
didn't have the resources.

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I guess if you want to really

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,599
argue from it, like a semantics standpoint, if the if

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,640
if Brady Quinn manages to get the money together, then

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,359
the money was there. So yes, they may not have

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,280
had it, but they had the potential to have it.

41
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,040
Tour Is it everybody just right?

42
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,879
Speaker 2: I I don't know. It is interesting seeing Kelly start to.

43
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,439
Speaker 3: Get involved in the narrative of did you see us

44
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:21,520
sit down with Brandon Marcelo on three where they said, look,

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,080
I never I never left Notre Dames. I thought I

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,199
couldn't win championships there. I left Notre Dame to want

47
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:33,000
a different challenge, which, you know, again, it's it's a

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,800
deal where I don't think the words were ever uttered forthwith,

49
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:39,919
Is that right?

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: I don't think.

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if Kelly never ever said like I

52
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,759
cannot win a championship at Notre Dame. So it's probably

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,840
a true statement with the spin zone that's going on now,

54
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,639
but it is a situation where like we all understood

55
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,719
what was being said, right, even if even if it

56
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:01,159
wasn't explicitly stated.

57
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:03,479
Speaker 2: But we'll get into all this. Jake, what's up, dude,

58
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,520
how are we doing this morning? I'm doing great. I'm

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,680
doing great. It's Wednesday, flint In.

60
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Flenn's in, Bobby's coming on the show later, her

61
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:16,639
favorite guys. Excited about the show, starting to get you know,

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,240
excited about heading to Atlanta and going to the Natty

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,639
coming up here in a couple of days, so almost

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,439
almost a finish line for my college football season.

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,599
Speaker 2: Excited to get there. But also you know what, we've

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,840
we've run our course.

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: I don't think i've been home one weekend since Yeah,

68
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:36,479
November thirtieth, So.

69
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: A lger, what's up with you girl? How you doing?

70
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,599
I'm doing great halfway through the week.

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,759
Speaker 3: What since November thirtieth? That just took me second to process.

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,520
It's crazy, I know.

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: And it feels like it November feels like it just

74
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,120
happened and it didn't like it was. Christmas season is

75
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,120
so fun that it does tend to Yeah, but yeah,

76
00:03:59,319 --> 00:03:59,800
all good.

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: Did the Kim Olkey Show last night, so I got

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,840
to hear from our fave twice yesterday.

79
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:11,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's the best. So, uh, could you have on

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,479
the dock this morning? Yeah?

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,719
Speaker 6: Thank you somebody forgot to send it. No big deal

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,920
there anything. Uh, we're not gonna call out who it was,

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,439
but there's a chance it was T Bob doing really good. No, guys,

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,120
I'm totally kidding. It's not the big of a deal.

85
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:26,920
Like shut up doing really good today?

86
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: To shut up? Don't talk for a segment.

87
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: Please, I don't have to say please, actually, don't talk,

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,279
best segment turn off his Mike.

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,079
Speaker 2: Lund to a great start this morning. Uh.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,519
Speaker 3: So Coach Kelly did sit down with h Brandon Marcelo

91
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:45,199
von three and he made it very clear who was

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,639
rooting for and uh no, no, no surprises the Irish saying, quote,

93
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,079
I'm happy for all those guys I pulled for them.

94
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:54,360
A lot of the guys there that are on both

95
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:56,839
sides of the ball I recruited. Obviously, I want to

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,399
see those guys win it all. I think they're in

97
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,079
a great position. Totally sighted for those guys. And then

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,199
he was asked about the idea that people are out

99
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:07,759
there saying that he left not name because he thought

100
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,079
they went and couldn't win a championship, and I said, quote,

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,519
they're selling it the way they want to sell it.

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: Why do you leave Notre Dame. You leave Notre Dame

103
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:20,839
because you're taking another challenge. I took Notre Dame to championships.

104
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,879
It's just the way you want to twist it. You

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,959
only leave Notre Dame to go win a championship. I

106
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,639
wasn't leaving Notre Dame because I couldn't win a championship.

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,600
You can win championships at Notre Dame. But I chose

108
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:38,000
another path because I wanted a different challenge. Oh yeah, yeah, I.

109
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,759
Speaker 3: Don't agree, but I see why that is what said.

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680
And to be completely fair, if I was in those shoes,

111
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:52,879
I could convince myself that that is why I left. So,

112
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:55,519
like if I was listening to me T Bob on

113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,959
this show say I don't agree or whatever, and I'm like, oh,

114
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,079
well that doesn't know anything. I know me, I'm me,

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,319
and I did leave for that reason. And so I'm

116
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,079
sure I could even convince myself of that. I still

117
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,720
maintain that he felt there was a ceiling there now

118
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:09,600
was kind of.

119
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, was this technically pre in il Yeah, yeah, right, yeah,

120
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800
I mean it was a switch. So we're talking about

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,639
maybe year one of it.

122
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: Year one, so we're talking about the beginning stages of it,

123
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:24,079
and we're also talking about the transfer portal looking you know,

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,240
completely different now than it did, and so it's not

125
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:31,560
the same set of rules that it was. I think

126
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,600
Notre Dame has done a great job of getting veteran

127
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,000
players through the portal, guys that have graduated to add

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,360
to their team, and you know, they just there's some

129
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,040
players on that team this year that they've never really had.

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,839
In my opinion, when you watch the team, there's some

131
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:51,160
players that are going to be pros Sunday players that

132
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:55,839
you know, maybe they don't start at Notre Dame in

133
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,360
the years that we had it, you know before in

134
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:00,800
il and transfer portal, but now they can.

135
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: Get a player like that.

136
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess they'll only bring it up

137
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:09,240
because I think that you probably do leave Notre Dame

138
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,120
when coach Kelly left because you feel like there is

139
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,519
a bit of a ceiling on you. Only that ceiling

140
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,920
was under the old rules, and that Notre Dame appears

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
to be one of the beneficiaries of the newer sets

142
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,800
of rules, and that I mean, obviously they're gonna have

143
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,199
a lot of money with which you can pull, if

144
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:32,160
you can rally investors and whatnot. But also like it's

145
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,000
all the places Jake that people would argue are maybe

146
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:37,040
and I think they might have reduced some of the

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,439
academic standards, but it's all the places where people want

148
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,279
to argue that, like, oh it's hard to recruit there.

149
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:42,279
Speaker 2: It's hard to recruit there.

150
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Well, all of a sudden, yeah, you may not want

151
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,000
to go to Lincoln, Nebraska, but if I'm gonna pay

152
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,279
you enough money, you will. I'm gonna pay you enough

153
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,040
money you will go here. So it's like Notre Dame

154
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,439
seems to and a lot of that's Marcus Freeman and

155
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,319
him being a great coaching, him being very likable and

156
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:57,839
cool and being able to convince guys to come. Absolutely,

157
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:03,480
but certainly I think the potential of Notre Dame when

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,319
Kelly left has changed drastically in this new era. And

159
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,120
I mean you look at things like blue chip ratio

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,319
dig they're right there in the top ten with everybody else,

161
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,839
so like just from a pure talent standpoint, they have

162
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,480
as much pure talent as anybody else.

163
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: So I forgot about blue chip ratio.

164
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,319
Speaker 3: It could be a well, I mean, you know, whoever wins,

165
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:28,360
it will once again be the fifty percent threshold.

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,839
Speaker 2: Washington would have been.

167
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,799
Speaker 3: The Washington was maybe the greatest hope for breaking that streak.

168
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:36,279
Speaker 2: But anyway, so I get.

169
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,279
Speaker 3: I guess it's simply that when Kelly lean, just the

170
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,759
situation now, the environment, the sport, the context is so

171
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,639
much different when it was than when he left. And

172
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,519
so yes, this spin zone I understand, because yeah, I

173
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,399
mean you almost have.

174
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: To now it just want me.

175
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: He did go to championship set Notre Dame, but you

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,600
just kind of felt like you couldn't break through.

177
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:03,039
Speaker 5: So you know, was something that was in place, but

178
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,759
less than I act like nil then and nil now

179
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,440
is the same thing, collectives and different things, and paying

180
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,840
high school players twelve million dollars and paying quarterbacks that

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,639
are maybe maybe professional quarterbacks four million dollars per year

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,960
that wasn't in place at that time. There also, there

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,360
wasn't a twelve team playoff at that time. It was

184
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,960
a four team playoff, and so the math has changed

185
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,799
on that. And now I can also give Marcus Freeman

186
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,120
in Notre Dame a ton of credit. It's a really

187
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,120
good football team and they have done a really nice

188
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,399
job of what they currently have of putting that team together.

189
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,279
And Mike Denbrock and Al Golden as the coordinators have

190
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,159
done a hell of a job putting game plans together

191
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:44,840
to find a way. And so you know, there's a

192
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,759
little bit of things on both sides that can certainly

193
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,320
be true.

194
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: Mark Comby says, Quinn basically said with Kelly said, no

195
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,600
Dame needed money didn't come to after Kelly left. So

196
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,480
that is another thing that we've seen a few times,

197
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,759
even here a few weeks ago at LSU, which is

198
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:07,879
sometimes you have to have something that goes wrong or

199
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,200
makes you angry to become the catalyst for change and

200
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:15,159
for action and So when Kelly breaks up with you

201
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,759
in this way, when you're rolling and you're doing great,

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,639
and he says, look again, I just I don't think

203
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:22,120
I could.

204
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: Do it here.

205
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: I need to go to a place that I know

206
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,919
can do it. Well, all of a sudden, it says, Okay, well,

207
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
oh we can pay it. Okay, Well we're gonna, We're gonna.

208
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,480
This is going to be the rallying cry. We are

209
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:34,120
going to prove you wrong. We're getting in the gym,

210
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:38,559
We're getting snatched to prove you wrong for leaving us behind.

211
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:41,120
And is it any different than what els you just

212
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:45,919
did with Bryce Underwood, where Larry Ellison rolls in snags

213
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:50,200
Bryce Underwood. Kelly has a very open plate. Look, we

214
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,679
need more grassroots funding. I'll do a million dove match.

215
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,080
You know, other guy, I'll do a million Nive match.

216
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,320
All of a sudden, LSU has more grassroots funning than

217
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,919
anybody in the country, and they have a number one

218
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,320
transfer portal class the entire country. So like, yeah, these

219
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,200
things have funny silver lining effects. Sometimes hell half no fury,

220
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:12,000
like a college football booster based Spern And we've seen

221
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:16,960
it in a couple of different instances, right, here, and also.

222
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,519
Speaker 5: We need to add that if Notre Dame does not win,

223
00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:24,200
they'll be at the same point that BK had them at,

224
00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:26,879
playing for a national championship but not winning it.

225
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,399
Speaker 3: And it absolutely sucks because I actually really love this

226
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,720
Notre Dame team. They're a team that is the whole

227
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,960
is greater than some of its parts. They're nameless, faceless,

228
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,639
They've overcome an astronomical amount of injuries, but their path

229
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:53,120
to winning the game seems significantly narrower than does Ohio State.

230
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,480
You can feel the Buck guys winning this game potentially

231
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:59,720
in a couple of different ways. Where Notre Dame's path is.

232
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,320
It's it's just like I said, it's more finite, it's

233
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,399
a bit more ball controlling great defense. Well, we can

234
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:11,279
get into it national championship preview a bit later in

235
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,039
the show, but it would be I mean, it would

236
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,879
be a great sports story if this Notre Dame team

237
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,759
that again is kind of nameless, faceless, injured to all hell,

238
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,080
was able to stand up to a Buck Guys team

239
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,000
that is essentially fully healthy, a twenty million dollar roster,

240
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:32,840
and the team from the beginning of the year that

241
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,360
everybody said is the most talented team in the entire country.

242
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:38,799
Speaker 2: It's got a little bit of a of a little

243
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,279
giants versus cowboys feel, you know, but imagine the toilet

244
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,480
papers have all soaring through the Airspike, Oh absolutely, yeah.

245
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,799
Has there ever been a more Spike than Jack Sawyer?

246
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 5: Bobby but all the same, Bobby aj Hawk, all the same. Yeah, right,

247
00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:00,879
he just Rabril, he's you know, right there with him.

248
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,440
He was a buck eye. Who's Bobby? Why am I blaking?

249
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,559
Who's Bobby Hostwood Slakes? Yeah, an NFL linebacker from the state.

250
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,759
It's got a bunch of the staff now, uh yeah,

251
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:17,279
so you're right, Spike. Uh, this is this is Little

252
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,159
Giants and you know they won in that movie.

253
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: But this is real.

254
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 5: Look, I Marcus Freeman is a great human being. I

255
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,320
really like Marcus Freeman. And I know there's a lot

256
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,799
of people maybe around here that don't want Notre Dame

257
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:38,279
to win. Marcus Freeman has done the impossible nationally. He's

258
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,679
made Notre Dame a lovable underdog.

259
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: True, how how do we get here? How did we

260
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:44,240
get here?

261
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 5: Like I'm covering these games tea and there's people like

262
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,679
that have no dog in the fight, rooting for Notre Dame,

263
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,320
and I never thought that I would see the day now.

264
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: I have no real animus towards Notre Dame. So I'm

265
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,320
not a great example in this case because didn't start

266
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,759
out hating them or anything. But I've never liked them

267
00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:08,440
either particularly, and I really kind of found myself cheered

268
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,519
except for Indiana game.

269
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: You know, I was roll with the Hoosiers, but outside,

270
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,399
I mean, I found myself cheering for them, And I

271
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:17,320
think part of that was because there was sort of

272
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,879
maybe some national bias around not fully appreciating how good

273
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:23,639
this roster and team is, thinking it might be like

274
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:25,600
Notre Dame teams of the past that altiately the biggest

275
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,879
stage is going to show up to appear flawed, and

276
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,759
even if they end up losing badly to Ohio State,

277
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:33,279
that's still not that you're just running to a team

278
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:35,159
that's just too good and playing too good.

279
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know, I mean, I I don't know.

280
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,039
Speaker 3: Notre Dame has always been in school that inspires a

281
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,639
lot of opinion and emotion one way or another, Like

282
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:50,559
I always do something like my grandfather kind of.

283
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: Liked Notre Dame because they were Catholic.

284
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,759
Speaker 3: Anything else kind of hated them because else you lost

285
00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:57,159
them a couple of times. I think one time back

286
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,200
of the day where like I don't think they called

287
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,000
the single flag Notre Dame. I don't know why I

288
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,080
remember that. So it's it's it's it's mixed back. But

289
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,480
for me, I that that's who. That's who I would

290
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,519
like to see when. But that's just because the underdog.

291
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,360
I'm gonna cheer bet of a dog in the fight.

292
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:14,200
I am almost ten times out of ten going to

293
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,120
cheer for the underdog.

294
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: You I mean, I mean the blue chip ratio guy though.

295
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,879
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, no, not not doing the stance again to

296
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,840
not doing the stance again.

297
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: I think I do think the numbers eight and a half.

298
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:40,679
Speaker 5: I do think Notre Dame covers Ohio State wins.

299
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: Well, look, we'll get we'll get into let's let's get

332
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,519
Speaker 3: He's he's a Rudy is an a hole from what

333
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:31,799
I've heard and read about him.

334
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: We met old Rudy Rudiger, remember that bowl. Yeah, he

335
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:39,920
was a walk he was like walk on the restaurant.

336
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were working with he was working with Brandon

337
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,559
Landry and them, you know, being you know obviously kind.

338
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,519
Speaker 2: Of the walk on the walk on.

339
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

340
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,519
Speaker 2: I thought he was great.

341
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: Granted, that's a publicity situation in which you better be great, right, Like,

342
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,920
you can't walk around with those junk hits acting like

343
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,559
an a hole. But I I had no, I have

344
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:02,799
nothing but had to say about the man. I also

345
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:06,480
loved that movie. Somebody said, wait, isn't Rudy also in

346
00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:09,559
Lord of the Rings. Yes, Sean Aston, it was okay,

347
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,720
you know, like Rudy the movie.

348
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,839
Speaker 2: Sorry, fifty dates to.

349
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: Good good poll hundred because Sean Aston has.

350
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:21,759
Speaker 2: Incredibly high highs.

351
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: Right, Mikey from the Goonies, Rudy another interesting poll there.

352
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,599
I was gonna go, uh, Samwise gamgee and then yes

353
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,559
and then like his his steroids out list brother in

354
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,319
fifty first.

355
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: Date, It's excellent.

356
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: Stranger I was gonna say, and then eventually comes into

357
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,400
Stranger Things is Bob but yeah, and Sino Man in

358
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,720
fifty first dates. Not normally the roles that get named.

359
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,000
So I'm proud of Uh yeah, I don't think I've

360
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,240
seen in Man. Yeah, since like I don't know, I was,

361
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,799
Uh do.

362
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: You really don't think Rudy's a good movie?

363
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 3: Why?

364
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: All right? Oh? I know, you just you just want

365
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,960
to move about the five Star I get it. That

366
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,200
makes sense. That kind of checks out.

367
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 4: I think suck.

368
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think. I mean, I just don't. You know,

369
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,240
it's not like in my top tier of sports movies.

370
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,160
It's okay, you didn't write the movie.

371
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: T oh, no, I know, no, no, I know, but

372
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,559
you know me classic like Underdog, walk On, grit, hard work, guy.

373
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 3: You five Stars is a different star. You're Ivan Drago,

374
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,000
I'm Rocky. I get it.

375
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,599
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

376
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,279
Speaker 5: There's a difference between working really hard in Charlie Hustle

377
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,880
in High School, Harry, and then just being gritty.

378
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:44,839
Speaker 2: There's a difference.

379
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,319
Speaker 3: So what you are intimating is that Rudy is Charlie

380
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,519
Hussell in high school Harry.

381
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:51,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

382
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,079
Speaker 3: Oh, come on now, dude, he works his ass off.

383
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,079
You don't just get you know me, walk on to

384
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,839
You gotta work your ass off to be on these

385
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:02,559
let you out for free, you know, Chris Dory, they

386
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,519
don't let you go. Well, yeah, because Chris was under recruited.

387
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:07,680
Chris was a every now and then you get a

388
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,480
dive in a rough way. Oh wait, this guy's actually

389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,160
an NFL player and somehow none of us saw it.

390
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: Can't gross six Chris has the body of a god.

391
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,559
Just tell I'm not walking oh man, Charlie hustle, Wow,

392
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:29,559
unbelievable A two JK. That's what That's what the great

393
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:30,480
crowds saying to. You know.

394
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: Now, I think a lot of I think a lot

395
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,200
of people that actually like have the grit, like the

396
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:36,039
ultimate grit.

397
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: I think they'd agree with me.

398
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,519
Speaker 4: How long is the movie Rudy? Pretty long?

399
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,559
Speaker 2: Right? Too long?

400
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: I just think that it is too long for how

401
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,960
little actually happens in the movie. That's why I don't

402
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:48,880
like it. Like it's just not that much happens. It's

403
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:49,880
kind of boring at times.

404
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: Case he says, who's the best walk on ever? Clay Matthews,

405
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,880
Baker Mayfield, probably Baker and he walked on twice. Gotta

406
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,079
be you, gotta be, gotta be Baker. I don't have

407
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,839
an opinion on Rudy. I've never seen it.

408
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, judging on your brown nosing tendencies, you'd probably be

409
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,839
piling on with Jake and Tate here, you know, just

410
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,480
out here.

411
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,039
Speaker 2: Alone, just swimming upstream.

412
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: Daniel Snow, what's the difference between working hard and Charlie Hustle.

413
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,559
Working hard is you do it in the night. You

414
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,160
don't care who sees you. In fact, if nobody sees you,

415
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,400
it doesn't really matter. That's not why you're doing it.

416
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,119
You're working hard because it's in your DNA. You're too

417
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,839
gritty to be pretty. Charlie Hustle is let me, I

418
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,279
hustle to see if the coach is watching. Let me

419
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,519
see who notices I post my workouts at six am.

420
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Let me notice, you know, let everybody notice that. I'm hey,

421
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,240
look at me. Here's the video of me running the

422
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:51,799
stadium stairs. That's Charlie Hustle. The other guy's just working

423
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,440
his ass off.

424
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 6: Oh so, Charlie Hustles the type of guy like Rudy

425
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,400
who threatened to quit. I think two different times in

426
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920
that movie he did a true, true, a true walk.

427
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 3: I would argue the guy that worked in the steel

428
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:06,599
mill and then was working the grounds just to have

429
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,680
access to practice away from the public eye in the

430
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,440
darker knight would be pretty.

431
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: They want to make sure that so working hard.

432
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 4: But even that, remember he was even that good at it.

433
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,880
His dad was Mags. The other brothers were better at

434
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,640
the steel mill than he was.

435
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 2: He wasn't even good at quit.

436
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what what well, I don't know what

437
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,119
motivations have led this segment and y'all to taking such

438
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,880
a hard anti stance.

439
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: But no, not the man. I don't know the man.

440
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:46,119
M all right, Uh to eat zero and I suppose

441
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,559
nobody's immune for bad takes sad to see, sad to see.

442
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,680
I mean, you know, it's not sad to see.

443
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: A couple of wins on the hardcore guys, how about it.

444
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:04,680
LSU basketball gets its first SEC win, taking down Caliparies Hogs,

445
00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:09,519
and the Pelicans take down Chicago Bulls. So LSU in

446
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,240
the PMAC last night actually beats Arkansas for a third

447
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:14,319
straight time in the p MAC, winning seventy eight to

448
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,880
seventy four. Arkansas and the Calipari era guys kind of

449
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,440
off to a disastrous start here eleven and six overall

450
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,799
zero to four in the SEC, giving LSU their first

451
00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:31,079
SEC win. Cam Carter is awesome, he drops twenty seven.

452
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,160
Really this story of the game to me, it's at

453
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,480
the free throw line. LSU twenty six of twenty eight

454
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,359
in a four point game, including six of six down

455
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,640
the stretch to hold off any potential of an Arkansas

456
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:49,160
run at the end. So credit to Mattmaman's Tigers Man.

457
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,240
We said it here in this early porter season where

458
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
you are playing so many ROW games and so many

459
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,359
of the best teams in the SEC, you had to

460
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:03,920
win this game against a founder in Arkansas in the

461
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,920
PMAC and they got it done.

462
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah in Arkansas's now zero to four in the SEC,

463
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:11,279
And so we're not talking about you beating world beaters,

464
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,079
but you were looking for your first win as well,

465
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,359
and so T's right you had to have this victory.

466
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,680
And last year you didn't start conference play on your

467
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,160
best foot. I believe you started one in three just

468
00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:27,160
like you are right now, if I'm not mistaken.

469
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: So you finished for the five hundred record in conference play.

470
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: Now I'm not saying this team is going to do

471
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:35,200
that because now Arkansas is in the last place in

472
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:39,680
the SEC. But you did start off poorly last year

473
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:42,720
in conference play and found a way to really hit

474
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:45,279
a hot streak and again finish five hundred. Because with

475
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,359
what you did in the non CONN, if you finished

476
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,160
five hundred in league play this year, then you're probably,

477
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:52,960
you know, on the verge of being in that large team, right, So.

478
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:54,279
Speaker 2: A long way to go.

479
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,319
Speaker 5: A lot of teams in front of them that are

480
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,279
going to be better than Arkansas. But even like against

481
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,799
Ole Miss wh eat Alabama last night on the road,

482
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,759
last game out, there was moments where you look like

483
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:05,359
you belong.

484
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: So now you got to come back.

485
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,559
Speaker 5: You got to go right back on the road against

486
00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:13,400
A and M, against Alabama, against number one Auburn at home.

487
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:14,599
Speaker 2: I realize that.

488
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,039
Speaker 5: But as much as any SEC schedule could air quotes

489
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:22,559
here lighting up, it does after that.

490
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: So you just got to weather this storm. That's why

491
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:26,359
this one was so important.

492
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,519
Speaker 3: When it comes to men's basketball, Do y'all feel a

493
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:34,000
bit like the squid word beam where he's looking outside

494
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:37,359
his house and SpongeBob Patrick or running around having so

495
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,880
much fun Because like I see my group text like

496
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,960
talking in this me and the Alabama fits right.

497
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,039
Speaker 2: But I see my group text like talking SEC basketball trash,

498
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:50,319
like what I wake up and I see Mincy tweeting

499
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,599
about the Chris Beard era of Old Miss and what

500
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,160
an amazing win and all this sort of stuff, And

501
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:56,640
I'm just.

502
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: Over here like, okay, you're like, this is el Vanderbiltfield's there?

503
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like whin's Win's baseball? We uh we we we

504
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,759
we a month away? Now, when's the next women's basketball game?

505
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,240
It is a bit, it has a bit.

506
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: It's a bit of an odd feeling where a lot

507
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,960
of the teams that ls you directly in the in

508
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,920
the SEC West, the old SEC West. You're the fan

509
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,880
base we can pee with. All these other ones are

510
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,200
like you know, they're all top ten and they all

511
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,039
really care now. And it's kind of sitting here like, okay,

512
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:30,039
good Win, good Win. Do you ever feel left out

513
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:34,039
though for basketball talk or do you not care?

514
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I mean. I'm probably the

515
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,880
least college basketball fan in this entire round.

516
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 5: So that's what I was about to say. I really

517
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,680
enjoy college basketball. And as soon as this game is

518
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:50,119
over on Monday, like my afternoon show will switch to heavy, heavy, basketball,

519
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,119
and so I get my fix, you know, like I

520
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,880
feel like I get to be a part because of that.

521
00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:01,359
But I understand we're saying about LSU and everybody else

522
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:03,799
is like all these football schools are awesome right now

523
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:06,960
in basketball, and look, you've been one of those teams

524
00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:09,559
right not that long ago, and you remember what it

525
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,079
feels like. So yeah, like you see everybody else out

526
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000
there celebrating and you're just like happy that you beat Arkansas.

527
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 2: When we get back, you'll touch of the Pelicans real cake.

528
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: And then we'll get into a unanimous vote that was

529
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:28,440
undertaken by college football coaches that could drastically change.

530
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:36,319
Speaker 2: The college football schedule and makeup of the current seentings. Ah,

531
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,240
I don't know how to say it.

532
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:42,279
Speaker 3: More OTB next after bench, Hey, guys, new partner here

533
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,359
on off the bench and that's Pelican Roof. And if

534
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,000
you're in bat Ruger Lafayette, you need a roof, you

535
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,960
need Pelican.

536
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

537
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,400

one months for qualified applicants. We're talking zero percent APR financing.

539
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,559
And when it comes to Pelican, you say, well, why

540
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:04,319
should I use Pelican? There's a million different reads, but

541
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,519
a couple of things that I love. First off, it's

542
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:11,799
the instant response time. Pelican has dedicate employees at every

543
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,319

555
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,079
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff

556
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,039
mixed in off the bench with Hester Anti Bob.

557
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,079
Speaker 2: What's going on? I was just about to say the

558
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:10,519
same thing. Actually, are you I actually know I swear

559
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:12,920
to Okay, I didn't say that. I said. I didn't

560
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,680
say it on air, so you're just talking. I said

561
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,200
it in your ear. We used to do a lot.

562
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:19,599
Speaker 4: I whispered it at.

563
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: My rigid like you know coming up in radio. We

564
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,079
don't do much of that here like the production in

565
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,000
the just in the ear, I don't really have to

566
00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:35,119
for the most part. No, I agree, yeah, because we're

567
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,599
very collaborati. Everybody talks. Did this thing started, It's time

568
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,519
to get somewhere until you cut them off the upside,

569
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:44,759
Sabby Wall, I'm just tying in. Then I heard it.

570
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:49,559
Now for starters, go to Tiger Labor and.

571
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:51,839
Speaker 3: Staffy with the shortest waity piero in the industry. Tiger

572
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,000
Labor makes it easy to transfer top town on your

573
00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:56,799
payroll quickly, as we personally bet your workforce of all

574
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,200
your staffing each other short or long term. So ever,

575
00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:02,920
deal with the tailor again, okay, because they're not just

576
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,279
fording resumes to you, but interviewing in dispatching in person

577
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:07,039
every morning.

578
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,119
Speaker 2: At five a m. Turner Labor and seven.

579
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: All right, So I did want to touch on the

580
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,720
Pelicans real quick last night, and I'm not gonna spend

581
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:19,720
long here. Pelicans beat the Bulls guys one nineteen one

582
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,720
thirteen Zion Williams in just twenty four minutes, twenty one

583
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:27,359
point seven boards, nine assists, one block.

584
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,799
Speaker 2: I mean, it is insane when he plays.

585
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: How good he is doesn't even matter because it's the

586
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,640
back to back tonight, so he's not gonna play.

587
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:40,559
Speaker 2: Probably not. Trey Murphy dropped thirty two last night, pretty

588
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:43,119
impressive considering he was just two or thirteen from three.

589
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:46,319
Speaker 3: Uh, he finishes twelve to twelve. The line, here's a

590
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:49,839
little nugget, he's made forty three free throws in a row. Jake,

591
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,960
he broke, who's Who's Pelicans team record?

592
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: I think it is. It's a random it's kind of random. Aja. No, afterwards,

593
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,759
you might like, Okay, this guy was a shooter, but

594
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:03,839
I doubt you're gonna pull his name. Big guy, A

595
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:12,440
big guy, shooter, stretch shooter, David West. No. After that, Oh,

596
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,480
I don't know how big he's tall.

597
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,519
Speaker 3: I mean he was, he was like.

598
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:21,759
Speaker 2: He was a four.

599
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:22,519
Speaker 4: Oh, he's a four.

600
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,599
Speaker 6: I was gonna guess Marco Bellnelli, but it ain't him obviously.

601
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: Ryan Anderson, Yeah, how about it. I did not think

602
00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:33,720
you were going to be able to pull that. Yeah.

603
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:36,319
Ryan anders had made forty two. So now, Trey Murphy

604
00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:40,160
your franchise. No, I know you nailed it.

605
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,319
Speaker 3: I did not expect that good good job, good get

606
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,519
You know what kind of sucks? Uh uh, well, it

607
00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:50,599
doesn't suck. Pelican's two to one, the current road trip again.

608
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,279
Speaker 2: What have you done for you lately? But messed up

609
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,319
their draft choice some some of the reasons.

610
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: And I like to go too far with this because

611
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,440
this is another thing where it's like, it's kind of

612
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,160
like Star Wars and of these other things where when

613
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,519
you engage in the criticism, you get pigeonholed into other

614
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,279
you get bummled in with a bunch of other criticisms

615
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:13,119
that I don't agree with. But I think the NBA,

616
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:17,480
as much as I love it, the over reliance on

617
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:23,240
threes is a turnoff at times, just frankly, and look

618
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:26,839
at these stats from last night. The Pelicans go fourteen

619
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,240
of fifty and the Bulls go fourteen of forty three.

620
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,759
I mean, you could have built a tash mahal with

621
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,960
that game last night.

622
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,559
Speaker 5: So ninety three threes between the two teams and they

623
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:43,960
only made twenty eight. But just think about watching an

624
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:47,799
NBA game ninety three pointers.

625
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: It is gross modern NBA work here, Just go down

626
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,720
the court jacket up, you go down the court jacket up,

627
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:55,240
go down the cart jacket up.

628
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:56,119
Speaker 2: See what happens.

629
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,559
Speaker 3: Twenty eight percent for the Pels, thirty two the Bulls.

630
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,559
So you know that kind of sucks, but the Pelicans won.

631
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,799
Speaker 2: Whatever. All right, So Jake, what do you think about this?

632
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,799
Speaker 3: So FBS coaches got together and they unanimously voted in

633
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,640
favor of a pro proposal that reduced college football transfer

634
00:33:17,799 --> 00:33:21,079
windows down to a window, and it would be a

635
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:25,519
single ten day period in January. Instead of having your

636
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:29,400
December WIMBO window and then the April one, it would

637
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,359
be January second to January twelfth. Of course, they're saying

638
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,720
this in order to preserve ball season, provide some guardrails

639
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,279
while still trying to allow the kids to be able

640
00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:43,839
to get to a new school in time for academics

641
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:44,640
and whatnot.

642
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: What do you think about it?

643
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 5: I think for the most part, players know where they

644
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:51,920
want to go. They have a really good idea when

645
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,680
they go into the portal. And I'm talking about the

646
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,680
guys that are going to end up somewhere. I would

647
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,680
say of the guys that know they're going to get

648
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,759
a scholarship, that know they're going to be wanted in

649
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:04,039
the portal, I would say eighty percent of those guys

650
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:05,759
know where they want to go. They have a pretty

651
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:09,480
good definite idea, and so for me, I'm okay with

652
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:12,480
shortening the window. I think that's more than enough time.

653
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,440
We know there's tampering going on already, so they're already

654
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:20,199
having those conversations now for some For that other twenty percent,

655
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,880
is it enough time, We will see, but I certainly

656
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,159
think it's enough for a large majority of it. And

657
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,360
you delay it till January, so you know during bowl

658
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,199
season you're not going out there and playing bowl games

659
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,719
with walk ons and different things like, you actually have

660
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:38,760
a bulk of your roster. And then you still get

661
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,000
to the point where you can make the academic part

662
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:43,599
of it work because the new semester is going to

663
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,719
start around that time, at the end of that window,

664
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,960
and so you can go ahead and put yourself into

665
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,239
class and if you miss a day or two, you're

666
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,800
going to be fine.

667
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 2: You can just play catch up a little bit. So

668
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,079
I actually am in favor of this. I'll be interested

669
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,000
to see.

670
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: With the ten day window, it means you have to

671
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,840
commit within the ten days because right now, right you

672
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:06,000
just have to enter the portal when the window is open,

673
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:09,159
and then you can decide afterwards with academics though that

674
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,599
that does become a bit tighter. But I'm guessing it's

675
00:35:13,679 --> 00:35:15,920
to put your name in from the second to the

676
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,880
twelfth and then I don't know when final day to

677
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,639
make a decision. Maybe it is just within that ten days.

678
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:23,880
There's some of the details that will have to come

679
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:28,119
out over time. Look, I think it's a solid change, uh,

680
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,840
simply because it provides more clarity. I think there's still

681
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,239
some interesting things, like, so, what does this mean for

682
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,360
teams that would be playing in a semifinal as the

683
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,239
calendar stands out, Does that mean they're gonna get a

684
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,199
rash of exits right after they exit the quarterfinals? Right?

685
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,800
You move on to the quarterfinals and all of a

686
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,480
sudden you're back and back leaves and stuff like do

687
00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:54,480
you make a dendum here where if if if you play,

688
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:56,519
and like, if your team makes it that far, then

689
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,400
you have the ability to transfer after your season ends,

690
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:01,280
whenever that may be.

691
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,679
Speaker 5: So, I mean, you're still figuring it out. But I

692
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,760
like to see him change the calendar too of the playoff.

693
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,079
Speaker 2: Move it up a little bit. It's a bit too

694
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:12,119
spread out. You don't need ten days. It's a bit

695
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:15,320
too spread out right now. Yeah, the momentum is kind

696
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,679
of sputtering. Yeah, a bit. I feel that as well.

697
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,639
Speaker 5: I mean we're January the fifteenth, right now, We're not finished. Yeah, yeah,

698
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:25,760
you could have it finished by January the eighth.

699
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,559
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree.

700
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:30,119
Speaker 5: So twelve days move from the twentieth to the eighth,

701
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,719
and I think a lot of that. And then the

702
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,079
teams are playing the natty, you extend their window by

703
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:36,280
five days or whatever.

704
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: You know.

705
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 5: Five days actually feels like enough till January the fifteenth.

706
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,480
If it was on January the eighth, you would have

707
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:44,079
seven days. You'd have a full week to go into

708
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:45,719
the portal, choose your destination.

709
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 3: And it does feel as if this is more clear

710
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,400
for everybody from a roster building standpoint in terms of

711
00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:57,599
what you need and what will be out there instead

712
00:36:57,599 --> 00:36:59,800
of like if you miss in this first one, then

713
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:02,039
right now, you know, okay, well, maybe we can cross

714
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:05,920
our fingers for April and get a guy that we

715
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:08,800
didn't get here. Get a guy then, but maybe that

716
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,199
guy never comes about, or maybe it's like last year

717
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,639
where guys get extremely overpriced because you have a scarcity,

718
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,800
and that was the market.

719
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: Like that's ridiculous to me.

720
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 5: In credit to the guys that got it, I'm I'm

721
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920
not mad at them that the market is the market,

722
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,760
but that part of it, that that part's ridiculous. We're

723
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,360
paying way too much money for I don't want to

724
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:39,079
say average average probably but slightly starter talent defensive tackles, right,

725
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,400
and they're getting quarterback money because it's his second window,

726
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,760
and so players were trying to manipulate it a little bit, right,

727
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,400
And it's like, if you're one of those coaches programs

728
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,719
that has that guy in spring practice, you're counting on

729
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,000
that player, like you think he's going to be a

730
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:57,880
part of what you're doing moving forward, and then all

731
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,719
of a sudden, like he's in the back channels and

732
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,719
he he's like, hey, I'm about to get three million

733
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,000
from this school right now. And then you get the

734
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:06,159
rug pull from underneath you, and then you don't have

735
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,840
another window to go replace that player. So it's very

736
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,719
player friendly. And again, if they're gonna give it to you,

737
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,119
go get it. You might not have that opportunity again.

738
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
But it just puts everybody in a bad situation.

739
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: And man, you can't like it.

740
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 5: Certainly wants revenue sharing, and it's like, this is how

741
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,639
much you can spend. You can't be overspending for a

742
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,960
defensive tackle just because you feel like you really need one.

743
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,800
He could be the missing piece and you're all of

744
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,519
a sudden looking up in ten percent of your you know,

745
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:35,039
cap is basically what it is.

746
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: And it's better for players going in a new spot.

747
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:40,199
So you force him to be there for spring. Yeah,

748
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,880
more time with the coaches, more time with the new teammates,

749
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,360
more time to acclimate it. Just I mean, honestly, this

750
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,199
is a change that makes sense all the way around.

751
00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:48,639
It does lose a.

752
00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:53,559
Speaker 3: Pretty hefty amount of player leverage, though, yeah, so I

753
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:55,519
imagine that's where the pushback is gonna come in.

754
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: Players have to see what happened. What happened?

755
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 5: Players have a lot right now? No they do, I know,

756
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:03,960
but I mean, but you know, like, no they don't.

757
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,920
And I'm four players having a lot of it. But

758
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:09,880
you look at even like Major League Baseball players who

759
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:12,880
have a ton of leverage and they've got an incredible union,

760
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,440
like you gotta give, you gotta give some back to

761
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:18,320
make it make sense. And I think to make it

762
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,760
work long term. Now, do I think you need more

763
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,960
than some of the NFL. Yeah, do somewhere in between. Yah,

764
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,039
it's probably what you need to find. There is a

765
00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:28,920
sweet spot that you can find. I don't know that

766
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,159
we'll get there, but I do think you take a

767
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:32,960
little bit because right now they got all of it.

768
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:35,960
I mean, players have all of the leverage, and I

769
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:39,480
just think it would help roster management, roster building and

770
00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:41,840
all those different things if we just cleaned it up

771
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,760
a little bit. And so maybe this is step forward.

772
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,639
It's still a long way to go on this, but

773
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,960
the coaches have made their voices heard. When we get back,

774
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,000
wrap it up our one and then we got Flustreet

803
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:40,960
Hunt Palmer's portal player profiles. Today's profile Michael van Buren.

804
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:45,440
Of course, Michael van Buren, playing for Mississippi State this

805
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:49,400
last year as a true freshman, got forced into action

806
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:53,599
after noted evangel Eagle.

807
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:57,159
Speaker 5: It is Eagles, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean note it's

808
00:41:57,159 --> 00:41:59,679
a private school, so it's going to be Crusaders or Eagles.

809
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair, fair, what's GC spartans? Oh, spice it up

810
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,719
a little bit. Okay, we used to do the the

811
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,440
USC song back in the day. I was hoping like

812
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:11,480
something from three hundred.

813
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:15,039
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, you know, like we like like anybody else,

814
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:18,559
I think there, Yes, there was definitely yeah, oh going

815
00:42:18,639 --> 00:42:19,239
on for sure.

816
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: Awesome uh so.

817
00:42:21,159 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: But yeah noted evangel Eagle, Blake Shapey gets hurt. Michael

818
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,679
van Buren gets thrust into action for the Bulldogs last year.

819
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 2: And it's a mixed bag, but overall he seemed.

820
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 3: Like a guy that showed a lot of potential and

821
00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:39,039
definitely the high water mark of the season, Jake, when

822
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:43,239
Georgia played in Starkville, it was like a surprisingly close game. Yeah,

823
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,000
like George was never under threat of losing.

824
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 2: That was in Athens. Oh, that was in Athens. Excuse me,

825
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:48,639
I'm wrong.

826
00:42:48,679 --> 00:42:52,559
Speaker 3: I thought that was in Starkfull I apologize, but okay,

827
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:54,920
so even more president in Athens is the high water

828
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,639
mark of van buren season. He throws for three oh

829
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,360
six and three tuds with only one pick against that

830
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:04,840
Georgia defense. He would go on to a week later

831
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,519
throw three more touchdowns against Texas A and M and

832
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:09,599
against Arkansas. We guys had a three h nine and

833
00:43:09,679 --> 00:43:12,800
two touchdowns. So there was a run there where Michael

834
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,639
van Buren was okay, like maybe this guy is going

835
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,280
to be the guy. But season ends. They do love

836
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,280
Blake Shaven. Blake Shaven's gonna be very good for Jeff

837
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,159
leb I do believe that, and Van Buren, I don't

838
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:31,719
exactly know why choose to go elsewhere, and I kind

839
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,320
of love this from the LSU perspective in terms of

840
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,280
long term planning, this is not unlike even it's with

841
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,440
the less heralded, less talented player. It's not unlike Oregon

842
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:44,840
getting Dante more Right, Dante Moore plays as a freshman UCLA.

843
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: He says, hey, I have a lot to learn. I'll

844
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,079
go back up a veteran for a year. Then I

845
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:49,199
think it's gonna be my time.

846
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: In that same way, Van Buren's betting on himself back

847
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:53,840
up Nuss and then he's saying and then I think

848
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,840
it's gonna be my time.

849
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:55,639
Speaker 2: No.

850
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 5: It's it's a great comp because you don't see it

851
00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:01,519
very often where a guy starts in one place is like, hey,

852
00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:03,440
you know what, I'm going to go somewhere else, and

853
00:44:03,519 --> 00:44:06,039
I know I'm going to sit, but I'm going to

854
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,280
be mature about this. I'm going to know that it's

855
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,000
going to help me in the long run, and then

856
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:13,159
once that guy moves on, it's going to be my team,

857
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,079
and I'm going to be more ready more season because

858
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:17,719
I sat here and I did learn for a year.

859
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,360
Even though there's a lot of good in my freshman

860
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,360
year and I think Van Buren had more you know

861
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,760
good in his freshman year. The more did yeah, oh,

862
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,159
we got certainly higher highs than he had. And so

863
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,280
now it's a very mature move and one that would

864
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,679
be very hard for me or really anybody after you've

865
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,199
been playing in the same league to go somewhere else.

866
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,159
Speaker 2: But also, I mean the LSU quarterback you know, kind of.

867
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: Legacy here as of late is as high as anybody's

868
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,920
and so you want to be a part of that

869
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,519
as well.

870
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: And it gives you great insurance when it comes to

871
00:44:46,199 --> 00:44:48,960
your immediate backle much better if he wins that role. Right,

872
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,639
It's kind of like the AJ Swan thing, where's experience,

873
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:52,760
but he is a higher ceiling.

874
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, than Swan does.

875
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,480
