00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>the Frequency Club. Yesterday morning, another free item for me

11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 2>at Thornton's because when you purchase a certain thing a

12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>certain amount of times, if it's an item that is

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Frequency Club, then you'll be you know, I don't.

14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess I could count, but I like the suspense

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>of like, hey, how many of my way, you know,

16
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>because I don't go every day. But yesterday when I

17
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>got the kids, they're very nutritious and healthy breakfast of

18
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>a slushy essentially, they call them a fizz freeze there

19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>at Thornton's. But yeah, I put in the phone number

20
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and boom free It was only like seventy nine cents,

21
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 2>but still, hey, it's free and that's a good thing.

22
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>So again, we appreciate Thorntons and if you've not signed

<v Speaker 2>up yet, please do. You'll be happy that you did.

<v Speaker 2>Thornton's search for Freshman Awards and you'll find it. All right. So, John,

27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bummed that you didn't match my excitement

28
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>for the live tiger that's going to be at LSU

29
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>this weekend.

30
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, it used to be a regular thing, right, and

31
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>they don't do it every week anymore.

32
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I was looking into it. I don't

33
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>know if it was a regular thing. It used to

34
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>be much more common. Apparently it's been a while. I'm

35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>trying to see how long it has been, but apparently

36
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>a report from one oh four point five ESPN and

37
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Baton Rouge, they're the ones who I guess broke the

38
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 2>news that Mike the Tiger Yes says for years it

39
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>was a commonplace for Mike the Tiger to be driven

40
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>around Tiger Stadium prior to kick off safely in the

41
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>confines of his cage. That practice stopped with the latest

42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Mike being adopted by the school in twenty seventeen, and

43
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>the current Mike, I guess this is he's one of

44
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 2>many Mike's, will not be the actual tiger being used

45
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>for the display. So wait a second, so they're getting

46
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>really I mean, I guess it's if they have a

47
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>real tiger. I mean, they do have a real tiger,

48
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>but like if it's if it's a different tiger that's

49
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>not the one that like everybody, Well, first of all,

50
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure anybody really notice. I think you could

51
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 2>put a lot of different tigers out there and fans

52
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>probably wouldn't be able to determine if it's mean, you know,

53
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>unless we're talking about one that's way bigger than the

54
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>one they're used to or smaller. But is that what

55
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it is telling me here is that they're going to

56
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>have a tiger, but it's not actually Mike their mascot.

57
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 3>That's even more lame. That's lame.

58
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's I mean, I guess having any

59
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>tiger there is potentially going to give you a little

60
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>more give you a little more momentum and you're on

61
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>your home field. But if it's not your mascot. I

62
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>think it kind of defeats the point they probably should

63
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>have just kept that a secret because nobody would have known.

64
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>But Ross Ellinger, who covers college football for Sports Illustrated,

65
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>says that decades ago, LSU used to station the live

66
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>tiger outside of the visitors locker room and feed at

67
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>raw steak, setting a horror scene for visiting coaches players

68
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>who would emerge from pregame warmups to a roaring Bengal

69
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>ripping a part of ribi, his jaws covered in blood. Yeah,

70
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>that would be pretty I mean a little spooky. Yeah,

71
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I know it's Spooky's a little disgusting.

72
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>So booky in the sense is like, wow, they actually

73
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>just had they had the nerve to I mean, I

74
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>guess you know, things were different back in.

75
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 4>The day with it.

76
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>You mean like basically what you're saying is that that

77
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>would probably get somebody canceled. It would be a little

78
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>canceled the right way. It wouldn't be acceptable. Yeah, yeah,

79
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>a little inhumane for sure. And I'm thinking one, my

80
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 2>stomach wouldn't like that. I wouldn't be able to deal

81
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>with that as far as the visual. But if you know,

82
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm it wouldn't shock me if there's some football players,

83
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>even if even if that's not their tiger and they're

84
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>on the road like that might you know, a weird

85
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>way that I wouldn't be able to relate to get

86
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>them fired up for the game, right like, yeah, let's go.

87
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Let meant, let let's go not kill somebody. But you know,

88
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna just move on from the whole

89
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>conversation about the tiger because one, it's lame that it's

90
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 2>not their actual mascot, and also, yeah, just to just

91
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>probably shouldn't have read what Ross Dellinger was sharing there

92
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 2>because it's pretty disgusting.

93
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 3>But this is an elimination past it now like a

94
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 3>playoff elimination game for the two. I feel like, oh.

95
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a big two losses, no doubt, this is

96
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 2>a big, big game. And you know, Louisville doesn't play

97
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>this week. They've got a big basketball game. So I've

98
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily been as plugged in this week keeping up

99
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>with with the other matchups because again, Louisville is often

100
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. I mean, I'm gonna watch college football. I'm

101
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna bet on a lot of games, but The first

102
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>thing comes to mind for me right now is Louisville Tennessee,

103
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>which I better now knowing that I'm not the only

104
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>one that looks at Tennessee as far as personnel and

105
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>style and thinks that Louisville can win, and I'm I

106
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of expect him to win. Kid Spencer joined us

107
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>earlier from WHS eleven and he kind of echoed the

108
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>same thing. So anyways, but back to the football side

109
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>of things, Yeah, I mean, that's certainly one of the

110
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>bigger games of the week. I mean, can you say

111
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Indiana and Michigan is that? I mean, can you can

112
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>we say that's one of the bigger games of the

113
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>weekend because.

114
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, is in the conference? That's for sure? Yeah,

115
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean I guess you could even say.

116
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Michigan's a top Michigan's the defending national champs.

117
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>They're clearly take They've taken a step back this year.

118
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>But I think when you're in when you're a top

119
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>ten team at this late in the season, every game

120
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>is a big game. I mean, maybe not for everybody

121
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>to tune in and watch. Clearly Indiana loses here, that

122
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>would be you know, I'm.

123
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 3>Kind of treated this as sort of a college football

124
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 3>playoff playing game of sorts. Now, a lot of people

125
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 3>at this point have said, well, if they go to

126
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Ohio State and get killed, maybe that wouldn't be the case.

127
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 3>But I think at that point, if you do take

128
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>care of Michigan this weekend and Indiana at least is

129
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>pegitificans Ohio State for the entirety of the game, I

130
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>think they've solidified a playoff spot at that point.

131
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>I think Indiana fans, like yourself and I think you're

132
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>doing it, should absolutely be living in the moment because

133
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 2>this has got to be such an awesome experience as

134
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>an Indiana football fan, something you clearly have never experienced before,

135
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and to be honest, probably something you never thought you'd.

136
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Experienced and maybe might not ever again.

137
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's just it's that kind of a

138
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>magical scenario that's played out. So again, live in the moment. However,

139
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I do want to say this because this just really

140
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>puts it in perspective. Imagine me telling you six months

141
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 2>ago that Indiana would be fourteen point favorites against the

142
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 2>defending national champions. Say it out loud. It's insane.

143
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is insane. Michigan was expected to be a

144
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 3>whole lot better than they are. And it's not that

145
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 3>they have, you know, poor talent. They just haven't really

146
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 3>been able to put it together this year. That spread

147
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 3>has more to do with Indiana than it does Michigan.

148
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 3>Like so, Michigan's not Florida State. I mean, they just

149
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 3>they took a step back. That spread is what it

150
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 3>is because.

151
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>All Kurt Signetti has done this year is just kick

152
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>everybody's ass.

153
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 3>On the schedule over.

154
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's that's what he's doing. Yeah, looking

155
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>at some other the other I mean I can't. Yeah,

156
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>So Florida Alabama and I'm sorry LSU Alabama. That's eleven

157
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen, and again it'll I don't know if either

158
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>of those teams are gonna make the playoff, but a loss

159
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 2>here would would essentially eliminate the possibility for both. And

160
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 2>then other than that, I guess you don't have Okay,

161
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I did not mention that one because I'm not seeing

162
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>it here. But yes, that is a big time matchup

163
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>between two ranked teams, So a decent slate this weekend

164
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>in college football. No doubt Florida and Texas play, and

165
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Texas will probably kill Florida. But those wondering if Billy

166
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Napier is gonna survive the year or even survive long term,

167
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.839
<v Speaker 2>we now have an answer. So they've announced. Florida, their

168
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>athletic director Strickland, announced that that they're going to retain

169
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Billy Napier and keep him around, which it kind of

170
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>felt like that would probably be the the move because

171
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 2>they're not good. But man, you can tell while watching them,

172
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 2>with all of the noise out there about him likely

173
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>losing his job, how tough of a schedule that they have,

174
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>which they do. They have the toughest schedule in the country,

175
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's impressive that they've been able to compete in

176
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>games against I mean that they lost to who Wasn't

177
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>in overtime? They lost is it out? Was it Tennessee?

178
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 2>And who else? They have two overtime losses, two really

179
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>really good teams, which again you're still losing. But I

180
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>think it's impressive that Billy Dapier, given what the whole

181
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>vibe was surrounding this entire season, in his future. It

182
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of felt like a throwaway season for Florida. And

183
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they're players, you know, they knew all what

184
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>was being said, but yet they're still competing night in

185
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and night out. And I mean, I'm not here to

186
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 2>tell you that I think Billy and Aper's gonna end

187
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>up being a very successful coach there long term. But

188
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I kind of understand why they're at least going to

189
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 2>give him one more year because you know, it would

190
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 2>be a costly move and you know, maybe they could

191
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 2>go get Lane Kiffin, maybe they could go get Kurt Signetti,

192
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 2>But like outside of that, I don't really know. I mean,

193
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's any certainty that Lane would come.

194
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Same thing with with Signetti, I guess. So if you'd

195
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 2>have said a few weeks ago, I would have said

196
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>there's no way that he keeps his job. But I

197
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of get it now. I mean, again, wins and

198
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 2>losses ultimately matter, and if he ever gets fired, it'll

199
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>because he didn't win enough. But I think you can

200
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>tell a little more than just their record that they

201
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>actually have gotten better this year, and they've got a

202
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>young quarterback now that you know is having success that

203
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>might be somebody that can save the situation overall for Billionapier.

204
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to ask you real quick now that

205
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 3>the Florida job won't open this offseason. Are there any

206
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 3>like Tier one level CFB jobs that are primed to open?

207
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad point, I'm glad you asked, because the folks

208
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 2>at CBS Sports to cover college football as well as

209
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the athletic They did an update with on their hot

210
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>seat rankings for college football coaches, and honestly, now that

211
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Napier has gotten the green light to stick around for

212
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 2>at least one more year, the other jobs that could

213
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>open up from the Power four level, I mean, here's

214
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 2>what's listed here. Mac Brown could just retire because clearly

215
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 2>they've really struggled, and his overall tenure there has been

216
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>successful because of the how bad they were prior to him,

217
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 2>but I think, I mean, I think it's been really underwhelming.

218
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>They're five and four right now. If they end up

219
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>getting a winning record, maybe he calls it quits. Because

220
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>he's been pretty outspoken about just how different college sports,

221
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>as college football is as far as the coaching job,

222
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, he's complaining about how there's so much

223
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>distractions with the Portland Nil that like coaches aren't able

224
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to put a consistent product on the field, and he

225
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>may be right, but also is he at the age

226
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>where he wants to navigate that. I mean, he's he's

227
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.879
<v Speaker 2>getting up there in age. It's seventy three. And then

228
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the other This is how they this is how CBS

229
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Sports listed this. This is a swing group. Could be

230
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>safe or fired depending upon what happens in November. Ryan

231
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Walter's you don't have to worry about that if you're Indiana. No,

232
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know who they would hire. That's not

233
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a good job. And man, they were terrible before Brahm

234
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 2>and they've they've been much worse without him. Neil Brown

235
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 2>could could get let go. So he's four and four

236
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>right now. He was lucky to get another year this

237
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 2>past season. I mean that job might open up. But

238
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I could also see West Virginia saying, look, and I

239
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know what his contract situation is, but I could

240
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 2>see West Virginia saying, look, we don't we're not thrilled

241
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 2>with the way this thing is gone, but we're going

242
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to give it another year because of finances in because

243
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>we don't really know for sure who we would go

244
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>get and if they would be that much better. David

245
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Randa at Baylor, he's a guy that could lose his

246
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 2>gig after this season gusmells On, I'd be shocked, but

247
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>then again, you know he has been underwhelming, and they're

248
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 2>four and five this year, and they've struggled since making

249
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that move to the Big twelve as far as what

250
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>their expectations were when they hired somebody like gusmells On

251
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Sam Pittman, you know, they're five and four right now.

252
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>They've been competitive against some pretty good teams this year.

253
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>They did get they I mean the lost to Ole

254
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Miss the way it happened and the defense being as

255
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>pathetic as it was, probably wasn't a good sign for

256
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Sam Pittman. But the other jobs that I guess could

257
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>potentially Yeah, Kyle Whittingham, they're mentioning that they mentioned him

258
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 2>as somebody that could retire, but would he retire on

259
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a bad note because they're having a down year. So

260
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 2>all in all, I would say the worry of losing Signetti,

261
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>if there even really is one, after just one season,

262
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>there's not gonna be a job that would open up

263
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 2>that would be worth it to him because I mean,

264
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>obviously West Virginia's a decent job, they've had some good success.

265
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 3>He's if he's a West Virginia alum is Signetti. I

266
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 3>believe I can double check that that sounds almost. That

267
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 3>sounds very Maybe it's either West Virginia or Pittsburgh. It's

268
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 3>very odd.

269
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>That sounds off. But hey, that would make that maybe

270
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a little more worrisome if that truly is his alma mater.

271
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he did. He pleaves quarterback at West Virginia in

272
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 3>the frow.

273
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean West Virginia. That's the thing. The West

274
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Virginia all in all, historically is a better football program

275
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>than India for sure, but this day and age, they're

276
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>not in the Big Ten or the SEC, and that

277
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>has real value for these jobs as far as resources.

278
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 2>So I just it'd be wild to see Signette lead

279
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>after just one season. But hey, I mean I wouldn't

280
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>say his.

281
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Alma mater though, Like, yeah, either an alma mater situation

282
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 3>or another gig in the Big ten in the SEC

283
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 3>that's considered better than where you're at, which is a

284
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 3>lot for being honest, But I mean, how much if

285
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 3>you depending on where he ends up at the end

286
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 3>of this year, why feel the need to try to

287
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 3>repeat that elsewhere if you already do it in Indiana?

288
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 3>But again, that's just me talking.

289
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it is wild how he's I mean

290
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>right now, if a big job did open up, I

291
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 2>don't know how he wouldn't be somebody that's in mind

292
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 2>for for anybody. But the good good thing for Indiana

293
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't look like there's gonna be any big jobs opening

294
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>up now. Next year could be different. Hugh Freeze. They

295
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>have a list here of not now, but they may

296
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 2>lead the hot seat in twenty twenty five. That's Hugh

297
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Freeze at Auburn, Mike Loxley at Maryland, brit Venables at Oklahoma,

298
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Lincoln Riley at USC And then they mentioned Sean Moore

299
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.720
<v Speaker 2>getting a mulligan this year, which is true, like he

300
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>was never going to only get one year. But next

301
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>year they need to be really good. I think they could.

302
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>They could win two three more games next year, and

303
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 2>they still might move on from him because they're not

304
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to lose the momentum they had with a

305
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>national championship just a year ago. And then this is

306
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>a coach listed here in its own tier by himself.

307
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>He's safe, but the staff overhaul better be good. That's

308
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Mike Norvell at Florida State. Yeah, I mean that. I

309
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>mean it's.

310
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 3>Do you go from undefeated to this?

311
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this. The team total for Florida State this

312
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.080
<v Speaker 2>weekend is seven and a half. That's insane. All right,

313
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 2>You're insane if you don't stick around, because we got

314
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot more to come, including the conversation with our

315

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.000

322
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>mister Brian Edwards from Vegas Insider dot com. Brian, before

323
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>we dive in here, I felt bad after I reached

324
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 2>out to you and asked if you could come on

325
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the show today because I thought maybe you needed a

326
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 2>little time to kind of, you know, accept what your

327
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.519
<v Speaker 2>athletic director has decided to do. But maybe I'm wrong,

328
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe you have have changed your mind a little bit.

329
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>On Billy Napier, I got I gotta get your thoughts

330
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>on this decision. Did it seem like this was this

331
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 2>was coming.

332
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 4>Not at all out of nowhere.

333
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 5>Strickland, the ad should have been fired years ago. Napier

334
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 5>never should have been hired. Our university clearly, clearly, excuse me,

335
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 5>does not care about football anymore. Napier is at a

336
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 5>time where right when he got hired.

337
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 4>Shortly after, within.

338
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 5>A few months, we opened the football only facility that

339
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.200
<v Speaker 5>costs about eighty five million, considered one of the best

340
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.240
<v Speaker 5>in the country. The University of Florida has never invested

341
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 5>more money into the football program in terms of how

342
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 5>large Napier's garbage staff is and how much they all

343
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 5>get paid. And he is one in ten in rivalry games,

344
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 5>with five losses by double digit margins.

345
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 4>He is ten and.

346
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 5>Eighteen against Power five opponents.

347
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 4>I say Power five instead of Power four because Oregon State.

348
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.600
<v Speaker 5>We were the victim of an Oregon State beat down

349
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty two.

350
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 4>And right now he has the.

351
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Number one I mean, I'm sorry, the number fifty one,

352
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 5>fifty one recruiting class in the country for twenty twenty

353
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 5>five per two four seven Sports Composite.

354
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 4>So we're on our way to our fourth losing season.

355
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 5>In a row, and we had never we had not

356
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 5>had three losing seasons in a row since the nineteen forties.

357
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Clearly, you laid it out as to why you're upset

358
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>with this decision, and I think any Florida fan that

359
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 2>feels the same it makes total sense. But what do

360
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.039
<v Speaker 2>you think the reason is other than just incompetence an

361
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>athletic director that doesn't know what he's doing? Is is

362
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Strickland stubborn? Because you know, maybe is it because they've

363
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>already invested so much money they don't have enough money

364
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to buy him out. Like clearly they've been a little

365
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 2>more competitive than maybe people would have expected. But Florida

366
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 2>is Florida, right.

367
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, one thing that's making everything very complicated is the

368
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 5>school president, who had only been there for like two years.

369
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 4>He left this summer where he resigned supposedly.

370
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.799
<v Speaker 5>Because his wife is dealing with a health issue, but

371
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 5>then it came out that he was doing some things

372
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 5>that you know, weren't good. So anyway, we have an

373
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.400
<v Speaker 5>interim president right now, and the interim president is the

374
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:47.079
<v Speaker 5>former president who hired Strickland. So it's all about self

375
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 5>preservation from Strickland to the you know, We're apparently not

376
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 5>hiring a new full time president until twenty twenty five,

377
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 5>so the the interim.

378
00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 4>President don't want to fire Strickland.

379
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 5>Strickland's tied to Napier, and there's no way that anybody's

380
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 5>gonna let Strickland hire another coach at Florida. I mean,

381
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 5>he's got the worst hire in SEC football history on

382
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 5>his resume and Billy Napier and the worst hire in

383
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 5>SEC basketball history in Rick Ray when he was at

384
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.200
<v Speaker 5>Mississippi State.

385
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.000
<v Speaker 4>So that's Strickland's resume.

386
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 5>How he is in power still is incomprehensible, to say

387
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 5>the least.

388
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Yikes. Yikes. Brian Edwards, Vegas Insider, is our guest joining

389
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 2>us here on Sports Talk seven ninety. We've got some

390
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>football to wager on this weekend, and it's actually starts tonight.

391
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if you've got any place for tonight specifically,

392
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.519
<v Speaker 2>but here we go again, another four day stretch of football,

393
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it.

394
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>On the college football side, Indiana obviously one of the

395
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 2>biggest stories in college football. Signetti just whooping everybody's ass

396
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>this year. That's what he's doing. And my producer big

397
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Indiana fan, and I told him, hey, he should live

398
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>in the moment. In Indiana fans are but just say

399
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>it out loud. Imagine saying something six months ago like this.

400
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Indiana is two touchdown favorites against the defending national champs.

401
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Is that too big of a number? You got any

402
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 2>action on this one? I mean, it still doesn't seem real.

403
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 2>But Signetti and the Hoosiers are for real.

404
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes, they are not only the fourteen point favorite against Michigan,

405
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 5>they are gunning for a ten win season for the

406
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 5>first time ever.

407
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 4>They've been playing college football since eighteen eighty seven.

408
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 5>They've only won nine before twice in nineteen forty three in.

409
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen sixty seven.

410
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.519
<v Speaker 5>So if Signetti's not National Coach of the Year, it'll

411
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 5>be a crime. So they had led every second of

412
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 5>every game until at Michigan State. Last week's Fartey jumped

413
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 5>on them ten to nothing in the first quarter, and

414
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.920
<v Speaker 5>all they did was score forty seven unanswered after that

415
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 5>for another easy spread cover and Curtis Rorke, who had

416
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 5>missed a game and a half, was back to two

417
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 5>hundred and sixty three passing yards, four touchdowns, no picks,

418
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 5>He now is in nineteen to three TDI and T

419
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 5>ratio and Michigan has lost three of its last four

420
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 5>games and is miirred in a one to four against

421
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 5>the spread slump and Michigan all four of their losses

422
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 5>this year by double digit margins. They're zero to two,

423
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 5>both straight up in ats and a pair of road

424
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.279
<v Speaker 5>assignments and making matters worse. Star corner Will Johnson preseason

425
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.119
<v Speaker 5>All American projected first round pick.

426
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 4>He's missed back to back games.

427
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 5>He and the other starting corner for Michigan are listed

428
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 5>as questionable Indiana minus fourteen. For me, I'm sure I'll

429
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 5>be on in the first half as well, which will

430
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.279
<v Speaker 5>probably be seven and a half or eight.

431
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I'm.

432
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.119
<v Speaker 2>With you the last few weeks. There's the one thing

433
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I felt more confident in every time I've wagered it

434
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 2>is Signette to cover. And I'd be surprised if he

435
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>stops doing it at this point. I mean, they've just

436
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 2>been they've been absolutely dominant. Another team that has been

437
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>dominant this year in a little bit of a different way, Army.

438
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>They're undefeated. They found themselves just inside the college football

439
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 2>playoff rankings. They've got North Texas here, a good North

440
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Texas team, a pretty good American Conference matchup here. I

441
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>know Army favored by just under in fact me, what

442
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is that now that one moved?

443
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

444
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Good question.

445
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm seeing minus four?

446
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 5>Did it?

447
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 4>Did it?

448
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Did it start bigger than that?

449
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Yeah, yeah it was six?

450
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay that's what I thought.

451
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 1>So yeah.

452
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 5>So the deal with this is Bryson Daily, there stud

453
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 5>running back who's got nineteen rushing touchdowns and a seven

454
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:17.079
<v Speaker 5>to zero.

455
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 4>T d I and T ratio.

456
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.960
<v Speaker 5>So Monkin said the other day, I don't know if

457
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 5>it's Monday or Tuesday that he's questionable to probable. So

458
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm guessing maybe there's some reports that he maybe hasn't

459
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 5>practiced or something to that effect. You know, he was

460
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 5>doing national interviews on ESPN last week, and they had

461
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 5>two weeks to prepare for Air Force and there wasn't

462
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 5>a word for two weeks about him having an injury,

463
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 5>and then it just pops Saturday morning, you know that

464
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 5>he is out. And so Army was one of my

465
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.000
<v Speaker 5>few losses last week, and that was very frustrating. You know,

466
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 5>if if I you know, I've said all week, I'm

467
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 5>not betting Army. Unless I see daily in uniform and

468
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 5>on camera, I can see him moving around pretty good.

469
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 5>If I do see that Saturday morning and it's Army

470
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 5>minus seven or fewer, I may play Army.

471
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 4>But right now I'm thinking, you know, he's very, very

472
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 4>questionable if you know at best.

473
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, given the way they play, it makes sense to

474
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.039
<v Speaker 2>strictly only get it on action if you know they're

475
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be the same team you've seen all year.

476
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 5>All right.

477
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Sticking with with college football, do I see that Brian

478
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Edwards may have a little money line parlay going on here?

479
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

480
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, yes, yes did I. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh both

481
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.000
<v Speaker 5>at home. PITTSGH nice minus seven and a half to

482
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:39.359
<v Speaker 5>Virginia and Cincinnati off the open date, but so is

483
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 5>West Virginia. But Cincinnati has been great to me. I'm

484
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:42.799
<v Speaker 5>five and.

485
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 4>One ahts backing them.

486
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 5>I only lost their last time out at Colorado, so

487
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to lay the five though. With the Bearcats.

488
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 5>Most of my bets on them have venice underdogs.

489
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 4>But I think they're gonna win out right at home.

490
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.160
<v Speaker 5>So Cincinnati and Pittsburgh just to win out right plus

491
00:22:59.200 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 5>one oh five or.

492
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Ten, all right, let's switch gears to the NFL. Another

493
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.960
<v Speaker 2>team I know that you have mentioned throughout during our

494
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>conversations this season is the Commanders. They're two and a

495
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>half point favorites against the Steelers, who have really played

496
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 2>well this year and really turned it on since Russell

497
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Wilson entered the lineup. What do you like here?

498
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I've taken the Commanders every game since Week two,

499
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 5>and I'm seven to zho to one against the spread doing.

500
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:31.079
<v Speaker 2>That, and gotta keep riding it. Gotta stay hot, right, Yeah.

501
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Three or few or I gotta do it.

502
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I certainly respect Pittsburgh's defense and you know,

503
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 5>as them in general, but I think we've got a

504
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:43.799
<v Speaker 5>huge advantage at the quarterback position and Washington's been automatic

505
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 5>at home. Give me the Commanders minus two and a

506
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 5>half or maybe three.

507
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, so the Lions minus three at Houston. In fact,

508
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's now around three and a half to four.

509
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I like the Lions here. I believe you do as well.

510
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little like it's one of those games for me.

511
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have expected to be a huge number, but

512
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little surprised that it was at around three.

513
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I kind of thought. It's given me a little hesitation

514
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like maybe there's something that we don't know.

515
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 2>But I like the Lions here. I'm assuming you do

516
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:12.519
<v Speaker 2>as well.

517
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Yep, it's an absolute gift. I made Detroit seven.

518
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 5>They've won six in a row, both straight up in ATS.

519
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.559
<v Speaker 5>They're the best team in the NFL. The twenty four

520
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 5>to fourteen win at Green Bay was a misleading final.

521
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 5>That was the TOUMP.

522
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Slap the air up twenty four to three early third

523
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 4>and it was raining.

524
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 5>They were just trying to chew clock and get out

525
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.759
<v Speaker 5>of there. Last five games, Jared Goff eleven touchdown passes,

526
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 5>no picks, and Houston is in a slump one and two,

527
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 5>both straight up in ATS. Their last three. They're not

528
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.920
<v Speaker 5>given CJ. Stroud enough time to throw the ball. We

529
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 5>don't know if Nico Collins will be back this week,

530
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.319
<v Speaker 5>but we know Stefan Diggs has gone for the rest

531
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 5>of the season.

532
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I got it at three.

533
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:51.400
<v Speaker 5>If it's three and a half, you can buy it

534
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.319
<v Speaker 5>to three at minus one thirty or cheaper. I do that,

535
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 5>But if it's four, no problem.

536
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 4>I think they put it on pretty good.

537
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sometimes recency can ken cloud you know your judgment

538
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to to to what you want to do.

539
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 2>But man, the last time I saw Stroud, even though

540
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.400
<v Speaker 2>it was just maybe his worst game ever that I

541
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.480
<v Speaker 2>guess that's why I'm surprised that that it was around three.

542
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I think seven seven would have been something I wouldn't

543
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 2>have been surprised at all. So yeah, I'm I'm with

544
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you on that one. I don't know if it's on

545
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.200
<v Speaker 2>your card, but do you have any thoughts on tonight's

546
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Bengals in Ravens game is certainly a big game around here, Yeah, you.

547
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Know, pre game not really now, if both offenses would

548
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 5>get off to a slow start, you know, in the

549
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 5>first quarter, and you know I could get the over

550
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 5>with a live bet in the you know, forty six

551
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 5>to forty eight range, I might be interested in that.

552
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, if Baltimore you know, jumps out to seven

553
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 5>nothing lead early and maybe, you know, if I could

554
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 5>get the Bengals you know, plus ten live, maybe I'd

555
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 5>think about that because even without t Higgins, you know,

556
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 5>Burrows playing really well right now. They're just playing better

557
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 5>last few weeks. The rivalry game. I mean, I don't

558
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 5>think Baltimore is gonna run away from him. I was

559
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 5>thinking Baltimore's team total, but it was twenty nine and

560
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.480
<v Speaker 5>a half. I mean, you know, that's just kind of

561
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.599
<v Speaker 5>a little rich for me.

562
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 4>So I'm probably just gonna live bet it. I don't

563
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 4>think I'm gonna do anything pregame.

564
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Any thoughts at all on the total, Like the fifty

565
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:20.200
<v Speaker 2>two and a half. That seems a little high, but

566
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.920
<v Speaker 2>then again, I could see that hitting. But again, there's

567
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things I could have seen happening that

568
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:25.640
<v Speaker 2>would have made money, but I didn't win.

569
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, I lean over, but it's just a

570
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 5>touch high.

571
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 4>I think I'm with you what I was thinking.

572
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:37.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'd love for both teams to have like

573
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 5>time consuming field goal.

574
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Drives to start and it's three to three.

575
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, it was five minutes left in the first

576
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 5>and we can hit an over forty seven and a half.

577
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.799
<v Speaker 4>Maybe you know, something to that effect, I might do that.

578
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna keep my eye on that as well. Brian

579
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.400
<v Speaker 2>has always appreciate you making time. Enjoy another four day

580
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 2>stretch here some awesome football, and best of luck to

581
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>your brother.

582
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 4>Thanks nik jall have a great weekend man.

583
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Take care. That's Brian Evers from Vegas Insider dot com.

584
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Man I, I am really impressed, but also feeling bad

585
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 2>for him as far as how well he laid out

586
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the Florida Billy Napier situation, because that's somebody who clearly

587
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 2>is a diehard Florida fan and knows much more about

588
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the ongoings there than most especially those

589
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>that you know aren't Florida fans. But it's got to

590
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 2>be I mean, that's got to be the worst thing

591
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>because college sports right now is so much pro sport,

592
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.160
<v Speaker 2>it's pro sports, it's a business, and to know that

593
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 2>like a move that needs to be made sooner rather

594
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.240
<v Speaker 2>than later for the future of your program is seemingly

595
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:39.039
<v Speaker 2>being held up because of administration issues, meaning the actual

596
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the president of the school, the person that's literally in

597
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 2>charge of everybody. They left. There's an interim, so like

598
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 2>no action can be taken. Like that's that's got to

599
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 2>be tough. But if you are, you know, I should

600
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>have mentioned this to Brian and maybe make it feel

601
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better. If you are a Florida fan

602
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and you don't believe that Billy Napier is the guy

603
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:02.720
<v Speaker 2>long term, you're probably right, but I don't know does

604
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin look as intriguing. I mean, clearly he's better

605
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 2>than Napier, But maybe you write it out one more

606
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:15.079
<v Speaker 2>year and maybe Signette's more gettable, maybe there's a new

607
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 2>name like. I don't know, but what I would hate

608
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 2>is if just knowing that you're kind of in no

609
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 2>man's land, right, like this year was a wasted year

610
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.119
<v Speaker 2>for Florida because they never expected to be good. They're

611
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:28.880
<v Speaker 2>really not good, but they haven't been bad enough to

612
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 2>where it's no decision or there's no discussion. He's gone.

613
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Clearly he hadn't been good enough though, to where you

614
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's the guy. I mean that not at

615
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>all the same situation, but that's what I That's how

616
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I described the Sadderfield situation. Like when he went into

617
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 2>his last year here, I wanted him to be either

618
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>really good or you know, bad enough to where, yeah,

619
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.279
<v Speaker 2>this thing has run its course, let's move on. And

620
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.319
<v Speaker 2>sure enough he was in no man's land. He did

621
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>not give you a fireable season in any way, but

622
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>he also didn't do good enough to where everybody like

623
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.039
<v Speaker 2>that things were going to work out long term, and

624
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:05.039
<v Speaker 2>he didn't do enough to earn an extension a new

625
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>contract in the eyes of Josh Hurd, and that is

626
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:09.759
<v Speaker 2>why he started looking for a new job. And it

627
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:11.799
<v Speaker 2>all worked out, and I'm very happy about that. And

628
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I will give Scott's out of a credit. As much

629
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>as I like to rag on him, I mean, he's

630
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.359
<v Speaker 2>having a year he needed to have at Cincinnati. I mean,

631
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>they're not great, but they're much better than they were

632
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a year ago. And I mean, it wouldn't be shocker

633
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>if he ends up doing the same thing he did

634
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 2>at Louisville, where he wins but not enough to where

635
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 2>they feel like they're a real threat. But he hadn't

636
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>lose enough to where you feel like he got a canon.

637
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

638
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Keep this thing rolling along. This is an unlikely scenario,

639
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 2>but it is a possible scenario that I want to

640
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.319
<v Speaker 2>share with you because this would be insane if this

641
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.640
<v Speaker 2>was to play out with the college football playoff rankings.

642
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:55.119
<v Speaker 2>But there's a scenario that. Again, it's not likely, but

643
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's insanely unlikely that the Big twelve

644
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 2>champion doesn't make doesn't make it sounds crazy, but we'll

645
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.759
<v Speaker 2>explain on the other side. Stick with us right here

646
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety. All right, let's go to

647
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the text line. Five O two sixty five three zero

648
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety is the L and N Federal Credit Union

649
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>text line. You can also give us a call five

650
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 2>O two five seven one seventy nine hundred. No more

651
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>guests scheduled today, So if you want to give us

652
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a call again, you can do that. But this text says, Nick,

653
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>don't you think it's a little unfair to Isaac Brown

654
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 2>for everybody to just be assuming he would leave after

655
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 2>one year? I mean, I don't think it's unfair to him.

656
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he would be insulted by that, because

657
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's I mean, I get what you mean.

658
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>But in this new world, that is I mean, that's

659
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen with everybody, right, I mean, And if Isaac

660
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Brown is looking out for himself, I mean, he's probably

661
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 2>going to have his end of year meeting with Jeff

662
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Brohm and want to know about nil, Like he probably

663
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 2>had some NIL in place when he arrived. He was

664
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a really highly regarded freshman. But obviously the inile money

665
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.480
<v Speaker 2>appears to be going mostly to players that have proven

666
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 2>that they have, you know, have the ability to really

667
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.960
<v Speaker 2>get results for you at the college level. That's why

668
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 2>transfers are usually the ones, you know, the big name transfers,

669
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that's that's those are the guys who get the most

670
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.759
<v Speaker 2>of the money, especially quarterbacks. And then now you've got

671
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.759
<v Speaker 2>guys that come back, and in order to get them back,

672
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>they're going to need a lot of money. For example,

673
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the defensive lineman, the freshman at South Carolina who's just

674
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.440
<v Speaker 2>been dominating the SEC as an eighteen year old freshman.

675
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the report I saw today was

676
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that he's they're working on securing him a one point

677
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 2>five to two million dollars in il dil to return.

678
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.599
<v Speaker 2>So it's just how things are. I mean, I know

679
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:52.319
<v Speaker 2>what you mean when you say that, Like I don't.

680
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not like I think what what you

681
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 2>said is crazy, but the new in the new world,

682
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>it is kind of crazy to assume that Isaac Brown

683
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't need to be compensated higher than he was already

684
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>has already been compensated in order for him to because

685
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.119
<v Speaker 2>here's the reality, Like Isaac Brown, if he doesn't get

686
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>more money, which he will, and I think UFL is

687
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.599
<v Speaker 2>going to do everything they can to when I say ul,

688
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:18.599
<v Speaker 2>I guess I mean the collective, and I mean there's

689
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:20.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be a lot of people knowing they got

690
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>to make sure they got that he's taken care of

691
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.799
<v Speaker 2>from an nil perspective, because if not, he will get way,

692
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 2>he will get a lot of money elsewhere. And look,

693
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.440
<v Speaker 2>you could end up losing him to a school that

694
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>simply can outbid you. But I mean the notion that

695
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 2>he would just stick around, no questions asked, not even

696
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Speaker 2>going to bring up any NIL money like that is crazy.

697
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's not insulting to him, but he would I

698
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:50.759
<v Speaker 2>mean if he decided to just stay here and not

699
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>even talk in IL with U of L and simply

700
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.079
<v Speaker 2>know that he could get a lot of money elsewhere

701
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:57.880
<v Speaker 2>but he doesn't care, then first of all, that would

702
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:00.680
<v Speaker 2>be a great gift that he would be would we

703
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:02.519
<v Speaker 2>would want to thank him, right, But that's I mean,

704
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>why would he do that? These players, this is now

705
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 2>a job they need. They should be looking out for themselves.

706
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>And if they aren't, and they, you know, are not

707
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 2>concerned about how much money they can make, then you know,

708
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>good on them. But I'm at a point now where

709
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 2>any like I no longer have any thought of like, well,

710
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.559
<v Speaker 2>come on, man, really you're going to do that? Oh,

711
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 2>it's all about money. Like I get that some people

712
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>still have that reaction when they see their player, a

713
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>player on their team entering the portal or potentially looking

714
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 2>to leave and whatnot, because it's still new in the

715
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>grand scheme of things. But it'll be here forever and

716
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 2>money's going to always matter. That's just how it is,

717
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.039
<v Speaker 2>all right, when it comes to keeping your pets healthy.

718
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Animal Hospital that is who you need to turn to.

719
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.200
<v Speaker 2>They've been in business for forty four years. Since nineteen eighty.

720
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.279
<v Speaker 2>They've been opened for three hundred and sixty five days

721
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 2>out of the calendar year, including Christmas. So if there

722
00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:58.720
<v Speaker 2>is an emergency with your pet, they've got a doctor

723
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 2>on staff that'll be there in case of set emergencies.

724
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 2>So emergencies are never fun and usually you panic, but

725
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 2>after the panic wears off, just know, Hey, they're here

726
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.079
<v Speaker 2>for you. Jefferson Animal Hospital on Outerloot. Give them a

727
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 2>call FABO to nine hundred pets or visit Jefferson Vets

728
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 2>dot com. So to answer your question. And I feel

729
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>like I might have been kind of rude when when

730
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 2>responding to that, but I hope I made my point.

731
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>So it's not you know, it's not unfair to him

732
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>for people to assume that I would imagine, but if

733
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.920
<v Speaker 2>there is this scenario out there where he was like, yeah,

734
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm good. Yeah, we don't need to

735
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.639
<v Speaker 2>talk about nil. I mean, that would be awesome, But

736
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:41.760
<v Speaker 2>that's just I don't think that's I don't think that's reality.

737
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 2>And there's no doubt he's the one guy on your

738
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 2>team that like there probably will be tampering going on.

739
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>There might already be tampering going on. And that's just

740
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>where we are with with college football.

741
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of tampering, did you see the Miller Moss decision. No,

742
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.280
<v Speaker 3>so he's decided that he's getting into the Tree Answer

743
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.639
<v Speaker 3>portal and is already expected to go to Michigan.

744
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Really, yes, that came together quickly.

745
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.639
<v Speaker 3>I know, a little tampering action probably.

746
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there's no doubt about it, right.

747
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean yeah, how do you already know without officially

748
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 3>being in the portal?

749
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:14.960
<v Speaker 2>So did he get benched or something?

750
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 3>I knew he was think they're just having a really

751
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.400
<v Speaker 3>terrible season.

752
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but if he's I mean, okay.

753
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 3>Or maybe he just decided to sit out and not

754
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.320
<v Speaker 3>play anymore.

755
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, so I was thinking maybe he was in

756
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.519
<v Speaker 2>somewhat of a situation similar to Colin Lacey. But no,

757
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.559
<v Speaker 2>so he man, this is his So he'll have an

758
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.559
<v Speaker 2>extra year anyway because it'll be his fifth year. So

759
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>this year's probably burnt up as far as eligibility because

760
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>he's played in enough games. But like, I mean, he

761
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 2>pretty much just left the team and was like, see

762
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.639
<v Speaker 2>you later. I'll you know, I'm gonna go finish my career.

763
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:52.599
<v Speaker 2>So that's already happened, like he's already committed.

764
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Was announced a few hours ago that he's entering the

765
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.320
<v Speaker 3>portal and his top choice reportedly is Michigan.

766
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Got you. Well, yeah, that happened pretty quickly, and there's

767
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.320
<v Speaker 2>no scenario in my mind that there wasn't a.

768
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Michigan's quarterback situation is a disaster.

769
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I mean, this might be the most blatant

770
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.519
<v Speaker 2>move that, Like, there's no scenario this could have happened

771
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:17.599
<v Speaker 2>without tampering going on.

772
