Top Storylines Week 1: Belichick, Bama, Herbstreit's Dog, Arch Manning, Gundy vs Lanning

On this episode of the College Football Apostles Podcast, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden break down all of the previous week's biggest and strangest stories. 
George believes college football should add a preseason scrimmage to keep the opening week from looking so sloppy, and also continues his crusade against ESPN's Football Power Index  rankings, while Ralph explains why he repeatedly gets upset with Arch Manning over his corporate partnerships.
The guys also get into Mike Gundy giving Dan Lanning bulletin board material ahead of Oklahoma State's trip to Eugene to play Oregon, and talk about how money doesn't guarantee success, as 5 coaches making $10+ million lost last weekend. 
Also- is college football trolling something Bill Belichick will be able to handle? And has America grown sick of Kirk Herbstiet's golden retriever?
Finally, the guys break down some of the oddball topics from last weekend, like Jon Sumrall being upset at Northwestern for not allowing Tulane to wear Katrina-tribute uniforms, LSU fans being mad at Dabo Swinney for "snitching" on AJ Haulcy, and ECU's offensive coordinator displaying some risky internet behavior.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
College Football Apostles is back after Week one in college football.
We're looking forward to Week two, but there were so
many storylines that went on this weekend that we didn't
get a chance to talk about on the Sunday Live show.
What's up with Kirk Herbstreet's Donk the arch manning the reality.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Of the situation.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
We gotta talk about DMS and secret things that have
been going on. We gotta talk about the FPI. We
gotta talk about TCU and Bill Belichick, what the hell happened?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Fam? And so much more.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
You guys, make sure that you like subscribe, get notifications,
and tell a friend about the show. I'm George Reister,
former NFL player, college football analyst, former college football player.
We got Ralph Amson, the man who knows everything, the
man who covers prep sports, college sports, knows where everybody
went to high school and their favorite food as well. Ralph,

(01:00):
what was your Well? Actually, I'll go first because we're
gonna give our biggest takeaways from Week one of college football,
and mine were First of all, is that I don't
believe we need preseason college football, but inner squad scrimmages,
like allowing Washington State to scrimmage Washington in the preseason.

(01:25):
That's what we need, the way we can get a
better product on the field week one.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, that's a great that's a great point. Then Jim
Phillips just called an emergency meeting or something like that
to see what they need to do about maybe getting
everybody to ten Power four games, or if ACC needs
to move to nine games. I I know you're a
big proponent for nine conference games. The ACC is a

(01:52):
little tricky because they have so many outside of the
conference rivalries that they got to get in. Yeah, and
so this this might be a way to sueeze in
some stuff to make sure that those fan bases meet up.
And you know, I'm not saying that you're gonna see
I don't even need it to be on TV. I
don't need it to be sold.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I just want the players to get used to touching
somebody other than themselves. And you know what, let some
of the media people in the way. They don't believe
that Alabama is gonna be the greatest thing since slice bread.
Everybody Josh Payton told you, Greg McElroy told you, everybody
to Nick Say, everybody that went to practice told you
this felt different until they lined up on the field

(02:32):
they were.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Like, oh yeah, it ain't like that.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
My second biggest takeaway is that ESPN's FPI is hot
ass garbage.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It could not be any more hot garbage. How on
Earth after this last weekend is Texas still the number
one team in the nation According to who they would
be ranked against player the predictive run five thousand models,
they would win against everybody we saw them play one game,

(03:05):
particularly when there's less data, their ranked number one. They're
way above Ohio State. Who is Somebody was in front
of them too? Last week. Iowa State was in front
of Kansas State. I'm sorry, Kansas State was in front
of Iowa State as well. That made not even a
lick of sense considering that we literally saw them play.

(03:28):
And to make it even worse, to make it even worse,
there was a team that was fortieth. The team that
was fortieth Florida State. Florida State is number forty. Guess
who ralph is number is number thirteen?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, I'm gonna say it's probably someone Florida State just
mopped the floor with Alabama.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So how's Alabama number thirteen and Florida State number forty?
In the FP in the predictive measures they got, they
ass whooped. That wasn't just a one off that you
feel like if they line that up again, the same
thing will happen.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, I just I love the idea of you being
upset at like an algorithm because I don't I don't
know what to do about predictive models should really be
for gamblers. Using it as something that might influence AP
voters or something like that is completely insane to me.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yes, And the fact that the SEC, this is the
whole reason why the SEC went to nine conference games,
is because they said that they were going to account
for the FPI in the in these metrics into strength
of schedule and all of this stuff. So you got
Texas one, Georgia two, o Miss four, then you got

(04:49):
Tennessee eight, South Carolina ten, LSU eleven. Why is LSU eleven?
That's a good that's a good question. Florida twelve, Alabama
th thirteen, Texas A and m fourteen, Miami fifteen. I can't,
I can't. I don't even know what to even do

(05:10):
about this. Ralph S m u feil fell six spots,
by the by the way, and Kansas State is still
ranked in front of Iowa State.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I like.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I like that that one got fixed this.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh, so the FBI saw enough of Kansas State almost
losing to North Dakota to mistermination, and maybe they would
lose to the team that already beat them and would
have beat them by more.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
If it wasn't for a missed field goal exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And then my last takeaway was that nobody looks elite
right now because I can't judge Oregon Penn State the
Oregon Penn State, I can't judge Georgia or any of
the other teams that didn't play you know, meaningful competition,
So I am going to reserve judgment on those teams.

(06:10):
So for right now, I'm going to say none of
the teams that played other Power for teams look elite
right now.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
What were your taking I would agree with that. I
would agree with that. I would say that it's hard
to judge a big twelve team, but Iowa State looks
pretty good. Yeah, but elite is a is a different thing.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
So I'm with you on that.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
My three takeaways from this weekend, And let me know
what you think of this Number one warby Parker the
Eyeglasses eyeglass wearer. Yes, as an eyeglass wearer. This affects
me and I care about it. Warby Parker needs a
refund for that arch Manning TV spot that they ran

(06:55):
in the second quarter of Ohio State Texas because me, well,
it's getting to the point where it feels like I
feel a certain way about arch Manning and it's not
arch Manning the football player. I wish him the absolute best.
I don't have anything to say about arch Maning the
football player. Arch Manning the pitch man might turn me

(07:19):
into my greatest version of being a hater. Why I
cannot stand how he handled the NCAA contract that he
signed with EA, which you told me would happen. You
told me that it was bs when he said I'm
just here to focus on football, that that was a
negotiating tactic, and it was true. But I don't like that.

(07:42):
That throws anybody under the bus that did want that,
like six hundred bucks when it first came out to
be part of the game, that they weren't focused on
football because they wrote their name down one time, ridiculous.
I thought it was very, very dumb at the time.
His red Bull ad I'm on the record saying that
I think that that's the stupidest thing in the entire world.

(08:04):
I didn't come to college I didn't come to college
football to do nil deals, but I do like to
drink a Red Bull from time to time. Like that
was that there reminds me of like when you saw
the Tiger Woods documentary and they're all in a room
with Nike and it's like, yeah, it's extremely powerful that

(08:25):
Tiger Woods has faced discrimination in his path to being
the greatest golfer of all time. And at this point
it was still early, but that was a marketing campaign
was crafted in a conference room like a Marriott. The
idea of that, like Arch Manning is sitting in a
conference room with a bunch of executives from Red Bull
and they're like, let's talk about how you aren't into nil.

(08:48):
When he's in that room negotiating what the commercial is
going to be having it very stupid, very disingenuous, just
like the EA thing, completely disingenuous. So that strike too
that this guy is doesn't mean anything, doesn't stand for anything,
is just here to sling products. And I love America
and I love capitalism, but like sometimes it gets corny
this Warby Parker one.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh, so, so here's what I will actually, I will
let you finish. I will let you finish your soapbox
right here.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Okay, so I wear eyeglasses. Shout out to Warby Parker,
you know, for praduct to slap their name on your frames.
All of a sudden, something that costs fifteen bucks gets
marked up to four hundred. Insurance covers part of it.
Everybody makes out Warby Parker is like, it's it costs less.
Like you send in your prescription, you get some glasses.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
It's nice.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I would love for them to advertise on this show.
I'm not gonna come up with a very very dumb
story to tell. I lost my vision at like twenty five,
and I wasn't able to see street signs as I
was driving by, and it became a safety issue. But
the story that arch Manning told in this commercial is
like I was a kid and I couldn't see, and

(09:57):
so my family, with all this money went to a
discount eyeglass supplier in Warby Parker, and all of a sudden,
that gave me the ability to read playbooks on the bus.
And his dad is in there mythologizing him of like, hey,
you know, he wouldn't have been this great quarterback, which
I think he had twenty six passing yards at the

(10:17):
time that this commercial.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Ran, and.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
The idea that he's reading playbooks on the bus because
of warby Parker, And then I was thinking to myself,
I'm like, my playbooks were pictures. They're just pictures of arrows.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Bro you went so logical with this. So here here's.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Three ad deals, yes, three major ad deals, and they're
all very stupid.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
So see, here's the thing I don't mind. And then
the Vory ad played too.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't mind any.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Of the ads because at some point in time, we
all have our highest earning potential. Sometimes it's in you teens,
sometimes in your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties. Whenever it is
in that ten year period, you're gonna make more money
than you will in any other ten year period in
the rest of your life, or five year period. And
arch Manning may be in that five year period right now,

(11:15):
because he may if he keeps playing like he is,
it's gonna it's gonna age like uh dj U in
his season starting at Clemson when they gave him all
of them ads to Dr Pepper add and all the
mother ads before the season started, and then about halfway
through the through the season, they were like.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Let's let's let's let's turn those off. Let's run run
the ad from last year.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
So he has to play better because the like it's
gonna do the opposite for the brands. And I hope
he does play play better because but some of this
is and you've covered recruiting for a long time round,
so a lot of this is that we didn't have

(12:01):
a full picture of arch Manning because he played against
low level competition in New Orleans, even though in Louisiana,
even though he looked phenomenal against against them. So he
didn't go to Elite eleven, didn't go to rivals, didn't
go to you know, under armour camp, any of those things.

(12:22):
And that's where all the smoke is, Like you get
a chance to compete against other people, and you get
a chance to you know what I mean, people can
judge you against other people. He was just going to
the college football camps. Now, mind you, I'm not disagreeing
with the methodology because that may turn out to be
a great methodology and if it works, I'll do the

(12:43):
same thing with my get. But I do think that
going to at least some level of these events is
important because you do have to be able to compete
against other people and be there for the smoke, like
when people have bad energy at you and everybody's not
praising you, and all those things.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think those things are important.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I'm I'm not mad that he's getting paid, and
I do want him to perform well on the field.
I just think maybe Warby Parkers should have shot two commercials,
and if they saw the direction that game was going,
maybe there should have been a commercial of him like
running into the locker room and being like, man, I
really need my Warby Parkers right now, I'm seeing ghosts

(13:26):
or something like, just something to acknowledge that maybe some eyeglasses,
some off brand eyeglasses would help him in that moment.
I want him to do great. It's just the way
that him or his team has gone about some of
these sponsorship deals. They made the suggestion that anybody who

(13:47):
was signing with EA wasn't focused on football. They made
the suggestion that like, yeah, like I'll drink I'll drink
a Red Bull, you know, so this is an easy
advertisement for me, and then his other two things are
like discount I wear and yoga clothing for you know,

(14:08):
we're into the barbecue.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
At leisure at leisure. Did you have any other takeaways
from this weekend?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, I went a little hard on that one, but
I just want to throw out ESPN Plus at least
for the first week sucked paid. I paid the money.
I paid the initial thirty bucks to do the thirty
bucks a month. Was watching Arizona State NAU. The feed
went out and it was audio only for a good
hour and a half, and then I heard other games
were messing up too. If they're going to charge people,
they got to get that right, you know, and hopefully

(14:40):
it ends up being like the whole like Steve Jobs
showing off Windows XP and it crashed, and then it
ends up being their best thing ever. You know, I
get that the rollout can be tough. We have technical
difficulties sometimes, but there this is Disney. They're a billion
dollar company. If you bought tickets to the movie Soul
to see it in theaters and it was audio only
for an hour and a half, you'd want to refund.

(15:01):
And so that's how I feel about Tisney right now.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Couldn't be me, couldn't be my team.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
And I will throw this out there. I feel like
I have become a loser who who is siding with
the referees, and I never thought that would be me.
But like you, I've got multiple games on at the
same time, which means I don't always have the audio
on the game I'm watching. And I didn't have the

(15:29):
audio on the South Carolina Virginia Tech game, and I
didn't have the audio on the LSU Clemson game. And
on both occasions, I thought that the catches that were
overturned were not catches, and I was watching audio off,
I wasn't scrolling to my feet like on first sight.
To me, both of those did not have the continuation

(15:52):
of the catch that according to what I understand of
the rules. Yeah, but I saw people were mad as
hell online about both of those and to me, neither
one neither one.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I didn't think they were catches either. I'm not getting
ready to sit here and act. I mean based upon
how they've called it. Like I thought the Daz Bryant
thing a long time ago should have been a catch,
But since we have established that that's not a catch.
Cool play play by the rules. I can live with
the rules as long as you keep them consistent.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
All right.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
We had a lot of other things going on this week,
So Ralph, what do we have for the rest of
this for the rest of his.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Joint George, I don't know if you know this, but
Oklahoma State is broke as hell and Oregon is mister
money bags, and Mike Gundy had had something to say
about it. I'm curious as to your take on what

(16:50):
Mike Gundy had to say about Oregon and just his
his prep comments to the media, and he's a talker.
He'll talk about the the purchasing power that Oregon has
for building a roster and how it kind of puts
Oklahoma State at an unfair advantage, as well as the
rebuttal from Dan Lanning where he said that, you know,

(17:12):
he's happy to be part of an organization that has
stuff and that some people save so that they have
an excuse, which is a helld line. I just curious
your thoughts about that exchange by proxy between Mike Gundy
and Dan Lanning.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Okay, so, first thing is I hated this from Mike Gundy.
Hated it with the power of a thousand sons. Excuses.
You're making excuses before the game even starts. Oh, they
spend so much money. I can't believe that. You know,

(17:47):
they spent forty million dollars on their roster last year,
which was not true. First of all, that like the
numbers get inflated all the time. Remember last year, oh
Oregon spent twenty million dollars and then and now it's
forty million dollars, and then Ohio State spent eighty million
dollars on her roster last year. Dude, you are a
power for a coach at Oklahoma State who had a

(18:09):
winning program. This is not anybody's fault, Mike Gundhy, except
for yours. You admitted it yourself. I thought the transfer
portaland in Io we're gonna go away? What land are
you living in? States were passing laws. When did you
think that this was going to go away? And if
you bury your head in the sand like an ostrich

(18:32):
like it's going to change, it was never going to change.
You can't put the tooth paste back in the tube.
So the idea that this man had the audacity to
think it would go away is why he's in this
position right now. And now he's whining before the game
and Dan Lanning. The last sentence that Dan Lanning said

(18:54):
in his rebuttal to it was amazing. He said, I
have no idea you know what they got in their
pockets over there.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'm sure U. T.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Martin maybe didn't have as much as them last week
and they played. So we'll let it play out. I
was like, Bro, that is so savage, so we'll let
it play out. That sounds like that if Dan Letning
let the cameras back in like he did against Colorado,

(19:24):
where he was like they're they're we're out there for
the real and they're out there for clicks. Oh oh oh,
he would be like, lock the gates, don't let them
out it with. We are going to make them tap
out and say uncle. And when and after they tap out,
we're still gonna choke them out and break their neck.

(19:44):
After you give up, we're still gonna We're still gonna
end you. This game is going to be ugly. It
is going to be a blood bath.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Well as we as you and I talked about before
we went live. Pokes is a phrase used to describe
cowboys because they they prod the cattle right like they
poke them to get them moving. And so you know,
go pokes is the hashtag for Oklahoma State. He did
a good job of poking the ducks for no reason

(20:19):
at all, Like, what are you gonna make a bunch
of players who are who are already excited to go
out there and bash skulls with you? You're gonna call
them just a bunch of rich boys who don't have
any motivation? Yeah, or that you know, like they're they're
gonna come out and they're gonna show you what's up.
And it's funny that the line in Oregon versus Oklahoma

(20:40):
State is the same as the line was for Oregon
Montana State, which Oregon covered quite nicely against Montana State.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
But I do want to say that and a half points.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yes, twenty seven and a half points, which I think
they'll probably cover, especially now. But I it's not just
that Oklahoma State just came off playing you, T Martin.
It's that they have Tulsa after a bye next after that.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
It's that T.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Boone Pickens helped elevate Oklahoma State to where they ultimately
had sixteen years of a winning record under Mike Gundy.
His lack of awareness sometimes is very, very funny and
like like running out in the one American News Network
shirt and being like what, I just like my news programs,
Like why would this ever upset anyone?

Speaker 4 (21:29):
He his lack of.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Awareness is is funny at times, it's entertaining, and you
and I have talked a bunch about this. I think
he's a good coach. I don't think he's long for
this world. I don't think he has the adaptability. You know,
he's a guy that might want to move up to
the NFL level or something like that, because if you can't,
if you can't adapt, you know, last year he made

(21:53):
headlines for saying like, you know, get these dudes off
my phone, trying to renegotiate. And this year he's like, hey,
we find anally paid players, you know, let's see how
it works out. Yeah, he's just a he's an interesting dude,
and and I find it very entertaining. I'm sure Dan
Lanning loved it. And ultimately, at the end of the day,
when you say, hey, those guys over there have money,

(22:15):
you're recruiting on their behalf. So I think Oregon fans
should be grateful for what might gonna.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Need to say.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
And then you bludget them, so they're like, I don't
want to go there.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't want to get bludgeoned. I'll go to the
bludgeon Nerd, not the bludget.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
George.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Let's talk about the fact that money doesn't mean that
you're gonna win. Because five different coaches that made ten
plus million annually on their current contracts lost this weekend.
Bill Belichick was one of them, Kaylin de Borr was
one of them, Dabo Swiney was one of them. Just
because you've got that money, it doesn't guarantee that you're

(22:53):
gonna win. Class at twenty twenty two Texas A and M,
they bought the greatest recruiting class of all time up
to that point. It ended with Jimbo Fisher get getting
bought out in half those guys going to school somewhere else.
So what do you think about that that five coaches
that make ten plus million did not win?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, now I have to give Sark and Dabbo a
pass for this only because only because they were playing
two other coaches who are in that list, So it
was like playing a conference game.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Somebody had to lose.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know what I mean, So they both couldn't be winners.
In the situation, somebody had to lose. But I definitely
agree that just because like people expect that just because
something costs a lot of money that it is going
to work and that is going to be the best
possible thing. And we've seen in college football that that's

(23:53):
not the case, because building rosters is important, and also
building a roster continuously, because sometimes we've seen, like Mike
Norvel did one one year, they go thirteen and oh,
transfer portal properly, had the right quarterback, everything fit properly.
Next year, you try to do the exact same thing,

(24:14):
it don't work. So bit I think that this shows
the importance of building a roster and not just for
one particular season that you're that the coach's overall goal
can't just be about that one year.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's got to be about.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
The overall health of the program going forward and not
bringing in transfers that are going to destroy your culture
and get other kids to transfer who you are developing.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
That is like a balance.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
That is a very good point.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
It is that is a good point, and people want
it to be a one to one money equals success,
But I mean, we're you're a late The Yankees exist
it doesn't always mean success. You're also a Dodgers fan,
they go about it a little bit differently, but they
got all the resources in the world.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Right, yes, but they develop Their farm system is always
one of the best in all of Major League Baseball.
So it's like they are focusing on now, but they
are also like, yeah, we're gonna develop these younger guys
and bring them up to the bigs and if they
work out, cool, But at the same time, if we

(25:30):
need something we have developed them, we'll trade them away
and then we'll go develop more guys because we got
plenty in the pipeline.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Well, with expectation comes one disappointment and two getting your
ass clowned on the internet by everyone else. And that
is what happened to Bill Belichick all night on a
Monday night with nothing else going on, going into a Tuesday.
And this is it's not just random fans Texas Christian University.

(26:01):
Social media is.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh my god, dude.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
They like their actual Twitter account cooking though.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
They're asking when the first episode of that North Carolina
documentary comes out. They got players, uh poking fun at Bill.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
On on social media.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
So I got to ask you about this because the
NFL is a much bigger deal than college football.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
You played in both. You know this to be true.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
When people say the NFL is king, like, I feel
like college football is like the prince running around spending
money doing whatever he wants.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
But the NFL truly is the king.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
They can put their foot on the neck of college
football if they wanted to. They could move half the
games to Saturday, and that's a rap, right, But Bill Belichick,
in my opinion, was protected. Like you couldn't go out
and crush Bill Belichick as a player because someday you
might be playing for him. Coaches have respectability politics that

(27:09):
they have to abide by.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
In the NFL.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
In college it is a free for all, and this
man is gonna have his name drunk through the mud
every single week, win or lose, rain or shine. Do
you think he's ready for that?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yes, I don't think he cares. I think his girlfriend cares.
I don't think he cares. I think she's protective of
the Bill Belichick name and all of this stuff, and
he's like, bro, I want to coach coach in football.
The first thing is he chose the wrong quarterback to
start the season. Gio Lopez started Max Johnson is the

(27:46):
better option. We saw that last night, like Geo couldn't
throw the ball to save his life, and Max Johnson
came in.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
And was just do do do.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Against the same defense, and it was just they looked
ill prepared, ill prepared. Outside of that first drive, it
was the defense was bad. People fumbling all over the place.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
It was bad.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I just and granted sometimes it takes a while for
you to get stuff together, but I mean, mac Brown
probably would have lost that game yesterday, but it would
have been like fifty six thirty one instead of what
it was. And it's gonna take a while, but you

(28:35):
would have thought though that schematically the defense would have
been better. And when we hear all of the talk about,
you know, who the SEC wants, who the Big ten
wants when it comes to expansion again, North Carolina is
the North Carolina Virginia are.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
The people that they keep pointing at. And I hear
people like.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Why them, and because it's like there's way more successful program,
but apparently there is money, there's interest in them, so
and North Carolina has a lot of really good players
in high school football. This feels like what they call
Arizona State that this is a sleeping giant and they
got the opportunity. It's just not making its way to

(29:15):
the field yet. So I'm going to reserve judgment on
Billy b until at least a little bit past halfway.
If they're not playing better, I don't care about the
wins and losses. If they're getting drugged through the mud
and not showing any progress, then yes. But I am
here for all the funnies on the internet, though I'm

(29:37):
not even getting ready to say to sit here and
lie like I'm not laughing. They had the girl friend.
They saw a video of the girl. It was a
video of his girlfriend walking up to him prior to
prior to the game, and she has like a three
second conversation with him and them walks off, and the
caption was, hey, hey, dad, can I have some money

(29:59):
for the snack bar.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Man.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
You had TCU players like making fun of his relationship
status on You had Brett McMurphy killing him online. You
have people pointing out that his backup quarterbacks the same
age as his girlfriend. There's all sorts of stuff going on.
I kind of feel about Bill Belichick in college football
the way I feel about Arch Manning. I actually want

(30:25):
him to succeed. I think it'd be awesome. I don't
want to see anybody fail. I would love to see him,
you know, develop some of these kids to become what
the thirty third NFL team is kind of what they're
pitching to people. I love all that. I do just
want to point out that it has been true Bill
Belichick's entire career. There are people around him glombing off

(30:49):
of the success of him and claiming it in certain ways.
I've never been a Mike Lombardi fan. He was in
the media for a while. He spent fun five years
beating up on Kyler Murray. I'm not the bigges Kyler
Murray defender, but it is funny to me that he
goes to be like the player personnel management guy for
North Carolina. They go and get a running quarterback in
Goo Lopez because in their mind they're like, oh, college football,

(31:13):
if your quarterback can run, you'll have more of a chance. Like, Meanwhile,
you have a twenty four year old Max Johnson who
can run this off. He's ready to go, ready to
help make you competitive, and he went through hell last
year and it's a great storyline. And then behind him
you have Bryce Baker, who to me is one of
the best high school quarterbacks I've ever seen in my life.
And this is no shade to Goo Lopez. But you

(31:35):
can't just go get a guy who can run and
be like running equal success. That's like saying money equals success. No,
it's about the right people in the right situations. And
what good is a running quarterback going to do for
you if you're down thirty.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yep, it does nothing. It's one of those things. It's
a nice it is a luxury when every thing is
going right in other ways, but when it comes to actually,
like at some point in time, you do have to
just drop back and be able to throw the football
at at a high level.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
So my question for you, George is is this just
natural the natural course question? Because you've brought it up,
You said it on Sunday, you said it other times.
We love to build people up so that we can
tear them down so that we can kind of get
an accurate assessment. And then we love a comeback story too.
But we'll set up the comeback story. We'll build somebody up,
tear them down just to give them the opportunity to

(32:32):
have a comeback. That's as American his apple pie. But
now we're in that situation with three different people right now,
and I want you to give me the likelihood that
they come out of this on the other side. Okay,
Number one, Bill Belichick. The storylines wrote themselves, greatest NFL
coach of all the time going to come to college football.
He gives up his most points ever in his first

(32:54):
college in his first college game, and now there's all
these haters. What are the likelihood comes out on the
other side and is redeemed? And what does he have
to do is are we talking natty? Are we talking
win the ACC No?

Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, I think what would make people competent put a
very competent team on the field next season. I'm gonna
go with a forty five percent chance that he does that.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Okay, arsh Manning. We gave him, uh and I say
we you know I used.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
To work with rivals.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
We gave we gave him like number one quarterback status.
He never had to go to any camps, he never
had to play any real competition in high school and
sat about that like, I don't know, we were you
and I were, but not everybody. Some people really really
bought into it. Including all of his corporate sponsors. He
goes out, he throws for twenty six yards in the
first half, loses to Ohio State, and nobody really looked

(33:54):
good in that game. He has played well before against
different competition. He's in a great offense. He's got great
talent around him. They've got a schedule where he's gonna
he's gonna do some things. Can what are the chances
he redeems himself.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh, eighty nine point nine percent?

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Actually, so what does that include getting drafted?

Speaker 2 (34:18):
No no, no, no, no, no no no no, no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
We're not even going that far yet because Archie told us,
don't get to talk about that draft.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Their next three opponents San Jose State, UTEP, and Sam
Houston State. He will scorch and he will cook if
there is a eighty nine point nine percent chance that
he lights both of those games up. But now when
he goes to Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt there,

(34:49):
oh my god, this schedule. What is this? I know
Florida's cool, but we don't. We'll see about them. Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I think Oklahoma that that's gonna be a tough game.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Oh man, they got they got the layup version of
the SEC schedule this year.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So yes, eighty nine point nine percent.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
All right, and my last one before we get to
reister wrong. What are the odds that Kirk Herbstreet comes
back from us being a bunch of hate nass haters
about his dog, Because the best storyline of college football
last year, built up by ESPN, Kirk Kurbstreet got a dog.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
He paid it with him.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Everywhere Ben passes away, he gets a puppy. Everybody loves
the puppy. And now here we are at the beginning
of year two of it, and everything I see online
is like there was one tweet that was so funny.
It was like, oh I forgot that Kirk Herbstreet is
the only person in the history of the universe that
has ever owned a dog. And then your boy Quincy
Avery was like, I hate dogs. I hate kirkurbs Street

(35:51):
for this dog thing. Why are we doing this? And
his mentions are a little hot right now, but you
know what this feels like the most natural, most American
thing ever. Oh a cute puppy. Get that damn puppy
out of my face.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yes, same thing. It's like a baby. Oh my god,
such a cute baby. Get that crying baby out of
that movie theater now, now, Yes, it was last season
Kirk Herbstreet's dog was sick. All of those things. That's
gonna tit people in the fields. Okay, and then he

(36:27):
posts about the dogs all the time. But remember here's
the thing. We always have to remember. There's going to
be public backlash about things. Like they hated Jesus, so
of course they're gonna hate Kirk Herbstreet's dog, including me included, Like,
I don't hate the dog.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
I'm just like I've grown tired of the dog, and.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I understood why everybody was so attached to it last year.
But I guarant damn to you there are a lot
of people. There's like the ASPCA and shelters and Alpo
and Blue Diamond and every other dog science, diet heels
and everybody else. They are lining up to give him money.

(37:10):
So yes, Kurt should probably keep leaning into the dog.
But as far as viewers, I'm just order like, this
is a whole new dog. The the sick dog is gone,
you know, and now you're gonna try to make us
fall in love with a new dog and it's like,

(37:31):
it's not bring your dog to work every day. That's
the that's the thing is that he's turned in this
into like bringing your dog to work every day.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
And now we're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
People like people fake more more people faking like they
got emotional support animals when they just want to bring
their dog. Who's gonna pee in the middle of the
airport in the airport because it's actually not trained like
a service dog.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Okay, even I mean even your guy Ryan Leaf is
having fun of it, trying to say he's trying to
get his goat on campus. Uh and and and they
wouldn't let him. I'll say this, Okay. So there's a
couple of things going on here. Number one is just
the like we get it culture, Like we get it,
we heard about it, we get it. But it's not
gonna stop because it's a dog, because it's puppies, Like, yes,

(38:18):
you don't understand. And this is this is a two
America's thing, George, And you've been around a lot of
white people.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
But we love dogs.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Y'all, kiss y'all dogs in the mouth.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
We love dogs.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Wait do you love do you do you kiss your
dogs in the mouth? No?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I don't like it when my dog licks me. That's
the tongue belongs in the mouth. I don't like when
anybody just walks up and starts licking me. Let's not
read into this, but like I no, I don't.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
If my dog licks me one time, I'm like, that's
enough of that, okay. And I love I got will
I got two dogs. I will always have two dogs.
I daydream this. This is horrible, this horrible. I daydream
about the next dog, like I love my dogs and someday,
like I'm I'm gonna have more dogs and those dogs
will be cool too.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
But my dog is gonna be a dogless family soon
for a little while. We need a little bit of
dog space because we've had dogs.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
I love the excitement of being dog free.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
You're right.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
I love the excitement of the idea of being dog free.
You could travel, you know, you don't have to deal
with all, you know, a bunch of different stuff that
just pops up out.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Of nowhere, pissing on the carpet. Uh.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Just you're you're you're enjoying a nice evening and the
dog just throws up for no reason because they drink
too fast. All that stuff could be a dog hair.
Dog hair is so annoying. I My wife could be
having the best day of her life, and if she
sees dog hair in the corner, she has to clean
the whole house. So yeah, there's stuff that I'd like
to be rid of at some point. But also like
I need somebody or something to absorb this energy. It

(40:01):
can't all go to my wife and kids. They'll get
so sick of me. I need to just be able
to go take the dog for a walk and I'm
not bothering anybody, and the dog's happy, The dog thinks
I'm a great person. That's a nice ego boost in
a cruel world. But the dog thing just to get
back to kirkurb Street. He should just keep him. But
it is a very too America's thing. And it is

(40:21):
funny to see some of the pushback from people who
are like, why is this sanitary? Why are they letting
this dog in the room in the house. That dog's
not for hunting. It's not for anything other than to
make a man not feel so anxious. And people don't
want to be reminded about their own fragility, and people

(40:42):
get jealous, So like, I can't take my dog places?

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Why did he get to take his dog places? So
I love for the conversation.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Right now that rubs people the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
They're like, oh, really, of course they let Kirk take
take his dog wherever the hell he want to take
his dog.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I can't take my dog over here.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
And yeah that, yeah, that doesn't go over well with
people at all.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Well, let's move on from the dog thing, because we're
making it worse right now, Let's get into some reister
or wrong. I'm gonna present you with some situations and
I want you to tell me if the person involved
was reister or they were wrong for doing what they did. Okay,
and my first one up this week one of the
stranger college football stories. And I feel bad even laughing,

(41:33):
but Tulane beat the piss out of Northwestern and after
the game to Lane, coach John Sumrall came on in
the in the postgame presser and he did two things. First,
he admitted that they used Northwestern not letting them have

(41:53):
tribute uniforms to the Katrina era. Yeah, that he admitted
that he used it as motive. So like he came
out and admitted that he kind of made up the thing.
To get mad about, and then he bought in. He
he got mad, so he used it his motivation and then.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
They riled hisself up, like talked hisself into he was
he is legit upset and it upset other people. He
is one hundred percent riister. And so for people who
doesn't don't know how it works, the road team gets
to pick which uniforms that they wear because they typically

(42:36):
wear white on the road, like or they're lighter color
on the road, and then the home team wears the
darker now sometimes they and mind you, all of these
decisions are made months in advance, like this isn't the
week of the game, this is months in advance, like
we're talking June May.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
All of this is decided.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Because or even earlier, because you know, the equipment managers
have to have everything and they got to order everything,
make sure the cleats show up on time, to right colors,
all of those things. So so the issue though, is that.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
They told.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Their opponent why they wanted to do it. There's no
way that they were just like, yo, can we wear this?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
It's it's Katrina. There's a Netflix documentary that's number one
on the on Netflix right now.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
About it.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
It was gonna be a cool little thing. It changed
the whole city, It changed the country. Because George Bush
hates white people.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
No, no, he doesn't care about Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
George Bush doesn't care about black people.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
That that was That was Kanye So why on earth
would you say no? That's the thing that makes no sense,
is why would you go against it? It'd be different
if there were a logistical reason, then Tulane could could
be like, well, there's nothing they could do about it,
so it is what it is. But if you could

(44:04):
do something about it, we got nothing to tell you.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
I found it very I just found it very interesting that,
like John Somemral used it to motivate the team. Yeah,
but it clearly clearly is deeply I mean, and it should.
It's one of the most devastating things to ever happen
in this country. And he was very worked up, and
he was very sad and mad. And today we got

(44:34):
to see David Braun's response, which kind of mirrored John
Sumrawls because he said, you know, we certainly did not
mean to disrespect and they've connected and they've talked it out.
Certainly did not mean to disrespect them. I think he
did a great job of using it to motivate his team,
because they went out there and they played with a

(44:56):
lot of spirit and they played very motivated. And then
David Brown said in two thousand and six, he went
with a group of people to spend a week in
New Orleans to muck houses and cleanup, and that this
trip for Northwestern was his first time back in New
Orleans since he was helping with the Katrina cleanup. And
then he teared up. And so there's just something in

(45:18):
this interaction, oh, John Somemral reflecting on Katrina and David
Brown reflecting on Katrina, where you got to see the
emotions of both of these men.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Possibly something that they didn't know why.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
I don't think Northwestern was going out there trying to
be like to It's It could have been just an
inconvenience issue on their part, like no, we already all
did all this work and then they didn't really project
how it would come back on them. Maybe, but to
see both these grown men like tears in their eyes
talking about Katrina, it really like it's sobering. I highly

(45:54):
encourage people to watch both of those clips.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Yeah, Yeah, it was good, very interesting and and I
appreciate people neck and when they screw up or they
don't get something right, they can be like, you know,
you know what I can I can say that.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Okay, So next up, reister or wrong. Dabbo snitched on
LSU's AJ Halsey got him suspended for the first half
because the conference had forgotten that aj Halsey was was
thrown out in his last game at University of Houston
before transferring to LSU for fighting UH. Chris Fowler said

(46:36):
on the broadcast that Dabbo did admit to alerting whoever
needed to be alerted and that got aj Halsey ha
spended suspended for the first half. Everybody was calling Dabbo
a snitch. Is it snitching if it has nothing to
do with you? I thought the whole no snitching thing
was about your your people, your crew.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
No wrong, He's one hundred percent reister.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
You are a college football coach trying to get a
competitive advantage against another team rules or rules. I mean,
aren't you going to point out if somebody steps on
the sideline and the ref doesn't and you're not sure
if the ref sees you.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
But yo, yo, he stepped out.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
He stepped out, and then the ref is, oh damn dim,
he did step out.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I'm tripping. I'm tripping.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Yes, you're going to point it out. The whole no
snitching culture is insanely stupid. Insanely stupid because it's supposed
to apply to people doing crimes. So if I'm a
law abiding citizen and you go commit a murder and

(47:44):
I see you, or you rob a bank and I
see you, the police come over and YO, like, yo, George,
did you see anything? Hell yeah, saw him do that?
Blah blah blah blah blah. Oh you a snitch. I'm
not a criminal. I'm not held to your stand And
do you know what criminals do Whenever they get jammed up, Ralph,

(48:05):
they snitch, So how are you gonna try? That is
a lie that the That is one of the biggest
lies that have been perpetuated, particularly in in UH and
in low income and minority neighborhoods like like or even
And when I say my minority, I mean like if

(48:26):
you are Italian and you're used to hanging around the mob,
if you are if you are in other areas, it's
been perpetuated to like this, Hey, hey, you ain't you
ain't standing on business. I wasn't trying to stand on business.
I don't I'm I don't take part in your lifestyle.
I didn't sign up for this. If I did, then yes,

(48:46):
you can call.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Me a snitch.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
I just find it interesting that, like it's the same
fans who are in the stands yelling at the refs
for missing a holding call, like you get your call
out stuff that will give you a competitive advantage all
of the time. Calling Dabo sitch as well.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
But he was supposed to be like bended for the
first half of the game the n C double A.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
If they forgot about it, that's peak n C double.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
A, right, and and so I don't know, I just
calling Dabo snitch on this one is funny, but to
me it's not true. And a snitch would be like
somebody within LSU being like, oh, I think we forgot
to follow this rule and that that's more of like

(49:31):
that commercial like coach I touched the ball, Like yeah,
you know that that that one where the kid admits
to you know, yes, dude, that is insane truthfulness.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Pass it on. But yeah, I didn't think.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Hey coach I touched it, Hey coach I touched it.
Uh no, no, no, no, it's out on It's out
on me, man.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
If you don't shut up that that's why the officials
get paid is to make calls. And you know what,
sometimes we have to live with bad calls. So if
they make a bad call in our favor, shut up,
thank you. And it's not telling them is going to
change the car with do you do you think the
ref is gonna be like hey yo, nah na na,

(50:13):
he's he's right, he said he touched it, So I'm
going to reverse this call that I'm not allowed to reverse.
It's insane. Oh, fair fair play. No, that's why you
have the refs there to ensure fair play.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Okay, I'm sorry, I'm getting I'm getting upset, all right.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Speaking of fans getting upset, reister or wrong, Mississippi State
fans are correct for being upset at Kenny Dillingham because
he said they have to stay an hour and a
half from Starkville, because that's the closest hotel that isn't
a casino.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
It's reister, what what do you want to do?

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Put the kids in Tupelo, at the at the gambling house,
at the river boat. I bet your Mississippi State would
love that. They would love that, so so Arizona State
players don't show up for the game and or are tired,
or get jam jammed up, get arrested, mess around with
some of the prostitutes in the in the casino, and

(51:18):
then miss the game because they get arrested, and so
they can win.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Of course, of course he would love that. It's it's
the truth.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I mean, what else do you want that would that
would be like Dabble getting mad because it was like, hey, yo,
we we had to stay at hour away from Clemson.
There's only cut eleven thousand people that live in Clemson.
There's no major hotels there there. I didn't see any there.
They may have one that's just for the opponents for

(51:51):
when they come in town.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
That may be it, right, but you need like it's
not like he said, there's no hotels for people to
stay at. It's one hundred and sixty people. They also
need to meet and get like the facilities for.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
At least one hundred hotel rooms, at least one hundred
hotel rooms plus.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
And he was all rung about learning he didn't know,
like he's saying he's learning now that they're in this
new conference that like they went to Texas Tech last
year they ate the hotel food. Ten guys got six,
so now they have to like know what people's dietary
restrictions are, bring extra food. I think he was talking
about just learning about the process of travel. I don't

(52:37):
think he was asulting Starkville. I don't think Kenny Dillingham's
that stupid.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
No, And I don't think it's going to matter, except
for I was a little sketch on how Arizona State played.
I am not I'm feeling good about their number two
in the Big twelve in the predictions, but I also
don't feel good about my number one team either, So.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Hey, I don't know how that is.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I feel best about Utah right now, if I'm being honest.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Well, I don't know how they played because I watched
on ESPN Plus. So somebody's gonna have to inform me
of how Arizona State played. All right, next up, reister Iron.
These fan challenges for clout have gone too far. Last year,
we had somebody shove a seven layer burrito up there

(53:30):
behind somebody else promised to eat dog crap out of
a cup, And now somebody is having to walk forty
six miles because they said they'd walk a mile for
every point Montana State lost to Oregon by have these
challenges for for losing games for clout? Have they gone
too far?

Speaker 2 (53:49):
One hund.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Now, First and foremost, I like people who actually back
them up, Like this dude who's walk into forty six
miles because of the Oregon Montana State game. He was like,
I'll walk a mile a mile in a single day
for every single point that they get beat by because
they're not gonna lay down, blah blah blah, because he's

(54:14):
a Montana State is not a good FCS program. They're
a great FCS program. They are going to beat lesser
uh FBS programs. If you line them up against Northwestern,
Montana State might win, particularly after that twu lane game.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
So it's not that.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
So I don't mind his because he's actually doing it,
and I didn't mind.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
But it's when people to I'll stuff a whole burrito
in my butt, I'll stuff a burrito in.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
My ass and then and then and then eat it,
like come on.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Bro, shut up, shut up. It's too it's too far.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I ignore those people because now you're just like the person
who's like shock value going up to the guy on
the street and just throwing a slurpy on him and
then running running away. Okay, we we we've seen this before.
And actually I hope that they catch you or you
get hit by a car, but don't die. Just just

(55:22):
just year a couple days in the hospital.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
I did one last year. It was never gonna happen,
and so I felt safe doing it. But I said
I would camp in my backyard for a month if
ASU finished last in the Big twelve, because they were
they were picked last. Yeah, but we knew better. It
was never in a million years was that gonna happen,
and so you know, and it wasn't even for.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Class for a week. Is doable, and that's something that
you can do.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Yeah, that that'd be some good content everything else, Like
there's nothing to be upset.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
About about that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
I mean, people don't know I fall asleep on accident
out there all the time, sitting by the fires, pass out, dude.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
People don't know that that's what I'm already doing. My son.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Kayden asked me when I picked him up from the
airport yesterday. He was like, he's like, Dad, is is
nishe at home sleep. I was like, I'm assuming, so
why he was like, he was like, are you sleeping
in there?

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I was like yeah, why.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
He was like, I don't know, because sometimes you don't
be sleeping there, so I just want them to make
sure everything was good. I was like, nah, because because
she'll take Roaman to go to bed some sometimes, you know,
eight thirty or so and I'm still watching something on TV.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
And now I'm my old man.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I'm falling asleep at like nine fifteen on the couch
and he'll come downstairs at like twelve or one.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
He was like, Dad's sleeping on the couch. But Dad's
not actually sleeping on.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
The couch because I'll get up when I go peete
and go up to the room. But yeah, so I
forgot why I told told that story.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
But yeah, that was it.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Yeah, that's nothing wrong. I'm just old, all right. Last
one reis they're wrong.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
D ms with assistant coaches should be off limits for context.
For context, somebody affiliated with n C State maybe or
maybe even East Carolina, I'm not sure, leaked the d
MS of John David Baker, the East Carolina offensive coordinator.
He was in need of companionship apparently, and and and

(57:43):
reaching out to various females. Uh, he's got a whole family.
They got whole families and just making conversation George, and
those got leaked ahead of the NC State East Carolina game. Uh.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Wrong, that type of stuff should be off limits.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Wrong.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Wrong, This is this is warfare. We need every advantage
that we can get. And if you can throw them
off his game, throw them off his game. Nah nah,
I'm joking, bro. This is the problem, right, is that
people think that things are secret, particularly in DMS, and

(58:20):
they're they're they're not, Like once you press send, you
don't know, like you have lost control of what I mean,
even just the regular text conversation, Ralph, If me and
you are in a text converse conversation the minute that
I send anything to you, I mean, even if it's
good morning, Ralph, how are you doing?

Speaker 2 (58:42):
What time you want to do to pod today? Whatever
it is I send.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
If I send the neked picture of a girl, which
I never have to you, I just want to point
the point that out.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
I'm using that as an as an.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Example, like I've lost control of that information at that
point time. So whether you choose to use it, you
accidentally leave your phone out, somebody takes a picture of it,
something like it has been like it. You have lost
control of everything. At the point in time you send something,

(59:13):
it's over. So you just have to hope against hope
that it never comes out, and sometimes it will. So
it's a dangerous game technology. And we're not even talking
about sending nudes and all of that stuff. We just
talked about regular anything you send it is out of
your control the moment you send it, So be careful

(59:37):
what you send it.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Be careful for sure. And I did forget one. I
want to throw it out there, reister or wrong Oklahoma
and Texas A and M fans have a right to
be upset that RC Slocum and Barry Switzer publicly said
they were rooting for Texas against Ohio State because of
their relationship with Archie Manning.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Wrong, wrong, wrong, one hundred percent wrong. Now Ralph on
the scale from one to one hundred, how much do
you think?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I love the Orgon ducks.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
Ninety nine just because I know how you feel about
your kids.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
So if one of my kids ends up, because I'm
of the opinion like what I love my kids play
at Oregon one hundred percent. But it is always going
to be what is the best place for them to
go to school, to play ball, to whatever. That is
going to be the north star of the decision, even
if that goes against my own allegiance, because it's his

(01:00:44):
or her life. So if the best place for my
kid to go to school was Washington, it would feel
gross to me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
I would want to throw up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
However, if he's wearing that that ugly purple and gold,
do you know what I'm do? You know who I'm
gonna be cheering for every single week, even when they
play the Ducks, the Huskies, That's who.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I will cheer for.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
It almost didn't come out.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Yeah, I will wear an ugly I don't know if
I wear an ugly purple shirt, but I will.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
It will be support. It will be support. I cannot lie.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
So I think you almost like it that my oldest
son wants to go to Washington because you'll get him
on the phone sometimes and just be able to start
taking digs.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Yes, yes, yes, well, And the crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Thing about this is it didn't involve Texas, A and
m or Oklahoma at all.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
They just they just feel like they own your fandomship
because you used to play for them or used to
coach for them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Brother, you know how long ago did that was? They
were paying me. That's why I was there. Do you
know that Barry Switzer left there? Well?

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Actually know that Barry Switzer was unemployed when the Cowboys
hired him, so so he was already gone. But if
the Cowboy, if if Jerry Jones had called him while
he was still employed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
What would he have done?

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
I get paid, Yes, loyalty for coaches only goes for
the most part, only goes so far as as long
as they're paying you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
There is the same thing, the same thing John Mattiir
did to Washington State.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Yes, I love Washington State, but I gotta go get
this money. And and they're rooting for somebody that they
have a relationship with, and they're not rooting for Texas.
They're rooting for Arch Manning, so they want him to
be successful. But I guarant damn to you as soon
if Barry Switzer has Oklahoma in his heart, as soon

(01:02:58):
as Arch leaves, it'll be back f Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Betcha. It's just a temporary thing. It's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
You love who you love, so let's let's week two
is coming up. It's coming up quick. What three things
are you most looking forward to in week two?

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
Week two of college football seasons?

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Oh, I want to see what.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Oklahoma State and Oregon's game is going to look like
after this back and forth between the coaches, because we
saw what happened the last time somebody trash talk Dan
Dan landing with uh and when a team was acting up. Oh,
we got a blood bath with Colorado, and I am
excited to see how that's going to turn out. And

(01:03:52):
because so I've been helping out coach high school football
and the one of the biggest things that well. And
then the last game, Sierra Canyon was playing Oaks Christian.
It was fifty six to nothing at with two minutes
and ten seconds left at halftime. Sierra Canyon has the
ball back with like two twenty throws. A bomb gets

(01:04:16):
caught on the ten yard line. They're fifty six to nothing.
It's two minutes and ten seconds left. When they line
up on the ball, coach calls a timeout. See Erra
Canyons coach calls the timeout. They're on the ten going in.
What do you think they did?

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
Ralph?

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Well, if you're calling a timeout and you're throwing bombs,
you're probably running it right down their throat.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Nope, call the time out and took a knee going
into the half. Took three knees.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
That's actually pretty funny. That's pretty funny. That's almost funnier.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Yes, took three knees instead of like like like we're
gonna show you mercy, We're we just showed you that
we could have scored if we wanted to more. It's
already fifty six to nothing. We could have made it
sixty three to nothing. And the coach looked over at
me and was like, oh, should I take a knee here?
Or should I score? I was like, sweep, sweep the leg,

(01:05:14):
put all the points up. If he dies, he dies,
score one hundred. And he was like, I think I'm
gonna take a knee instead.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
I was like, what are you supposed to do if
you're Oaks Christian in that in that situation, would you
say thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
No, someone comes in, I'm ready your girl fight you.
I'm ready to fight you. You just took a knee up.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
Like if someone comes in, if someone comes in and
they steal your girl, but they pay off all your
debts so they didn't leave you with any bills, but
they took your girl.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
They took you, they showed your family. They're calling him dad,
and then and then he's like, I paid your car
off though. I paid your car off though, because you know,
I didn't want you to be left with nothing, you know,
Paige rent for a year at the new apartment because
you got to get up out of out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
So sometimes mercy is a is a bigger insult than yes,
you know, than a slow death, I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
I'm also looking forward to Duke Illinois because I want
to see mensa versus good competition a quarterback at Duke
and first test for my boys, for my boys, the
Illinois fighting the line night who I am riding with
all the way to the playoffs this year, And if
they get beat by Duke, I am going to be

(01:06:39):
terrified because that would have meant Clemson already lost, Illinois.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Would have lost.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
I'm whoever I'm riding with this year, you would probably
want me to jump off the bandwagon if that happens.
And then the last thing is Bama ULM, Louisiana Monroe,
and you're.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Probably like, George, why the hell do you cared about.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
That game because the last time that, uh so, in
Nick Saban's first season, I think you ULM was still
FCS maybe right, and either that or they were.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
Yeah, uh that was like the worst team in FBS. Yes,
there used to be the worst team in FBS.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Yes, and Nick Saban lost to him and that was
the last time that they lost to a group of five. Yeah,
that's what it was a group of five opponent in
the non conference. And so that's why I got my
eye on that because wouldn't that be apropos for.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
ULM to win this game?

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
And Kaitlyn de boris five and five in his last
ten games going back to last season, which feels bad.
They beat Georgia and then Wills came off.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
I'm not I'm not reveling in what's happening to Alabama
right now. But maybe if maybe, if they I don't know,
maybe maybe it'll wake Nick Sabing up out of his
slumber and make him want to come back. That'd be fun.
And you know, Dbor is gonna land on his feet.
He's a very good coach. It's just some some the
SEC isn't for everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:08:10):
All.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
My three real quick I am very very excited for
Ole Miss Kentucky because we listened to Lane Kiffin complain
about not being the College Football Playoff and the reason
they weren't in the college Playoff is they lost to Kentucky.
And if it happens again, and this game's in Lexington
and the Wildcats are tricky and Lexington, if it happens again,
I don't want to hear from Lane Kiffin anymore. I
really don't. But if they go out and they smash Kentucky,

(01:08:36):
then it's like, yeah, start talking.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
No, no, we'll start talking, but don't start crying. Don't
start crying, because as soon as Lane starts focusing on
things outside of football, Oh, the college Football Playoff, the
sec this that that stuff starts going going left.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
Stay keep your eye on the prize.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Stop drinking the rat poison, and you guys college football pos.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Do we have anything else? Or are we done well?

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
I will just say Chubb O Purty versus Aiden Rashada
is this weekend three years ago that would have been
everybody's marquee matchup, and I'm gonna say something into the Yeah. No,
very excited for that. Two oho to one teams go
into battle Okay, I would say it would be, but

(01:09:29):
it's not going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Probably not.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
I got one more thing to throw out there, and
I just want to say it, put it out in
the universe and get your reaction before we shut down. Okay,
at this point in time, there is a running back
out there who has one hundred and seventy carries to
start his college career. He's averaging eight yards of carry

(01:09:54):
to start his career. Okay, he's he's already got thirteen
hundre yards thirteen touchdowns. And I'm not saying he's Readie Bush,
but I'm not not saying it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Who is this.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
Louisville Isaac Brown?

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Oh okay, well that is what I might.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
I might eye on him the rest of the way.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Okay, that's fair. That's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
That's very fair, because that means that we should all
have our eye on the kid as well. You guys,
