Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is college football Apostles time. It's your boy, George Reister.
He's Ralph Amsden, and we got to talk about the
ongoings in this week's of college football. So more coaches
have been fired and is there a mafioso thing going on?
We gotta talk about Lane Kiffin. More trolling going on?

(00:21):
Virginia they stormed the field. Was this right? Are we
getting a little too caring? Is about how we care
about this? Paul Feibam is talking about running for US
senate Ohio State secondary is a thing, you know. Fans
are demanding coaches be fired, people be benched, all sorts
of things. And Ted Cruz we got a battle between

(00:45):
the Safe Act and the Score Act. And politics is
right in the middle of football again, and so be it,
so be it. And you got so much to talk about.
I'm former NFL player, former college football player, college football
analysts for c W and Ralph Amazon the encyclopedia of
all things sports, rain Man and man who can tell

(01:08):
you exactly why? Oh gosh, who were the people that
we were just talking about were related? The other day?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh? The Romney's the gunner gunner Romney b y U
wide receiver Tate Romney ASU linebacker related to Mitt Romney,
former presidential candidate, and Tate Romney somehow married a girl.
He's a current ASU player who also had the last
name Romney. And I went off on a huge tangent
about that, and you looked pretty confused.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
This is why it was like a Mexican cartel involved
in other things. Yeah, but maybe we'll tell that story
one day, but not today. We had a great weekend
of college football, and you know, I mean, I think
everybody could agree that this was one of the greatest
college football weekends of the entire year and out of

(02:00):
the five weeks, and it could turn out to be
the best weekend of the entire you know, regular season.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Uh, but I guess we will start where we usually start,
which is the our three takeaways from last weekend. I'll
let you go first. Ralph.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Okay, so my first takeaway from the weekend is that
Ohio State's secondary can prop can really carry this team
until everybody else catches up. Of course, the AP believes
that Ohio State over the last you know, five weeks,
has been the number one team in the country. Hard
to argue with, but it still feels like a lot

(02:40):
of areas of the team have room to grow, but
this this secondary. I mean, I watched my son despair
over Demond Williams's inability to get the ball down field.
It couldn't.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Then they put him in a straight jacket. Boy.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, And it wasn't even like he played bad. It
just there wasn't. There's not things available. And you know,
you took some heat in the comment section. You take
heat in the comment section all the time. You don't care,
but you took some for repeatedly referring to Caleb Downs
as college football's best player until we see otherwise. But
the secondary is carry and they replaced a lot of players,

(03:16):
but they are carrying Ohio State right now. And once
Ohio State gets those other three legs under them, like
the defensive front and Julian saying and the special teams
is all going, that's gonna be a hard team to beat.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Their linebacker number eight is a demon. I am going
to tell you that I forgot the kids kids name,
but on film all you see is eight eight eight everywhere. Bro,
He's a demon and rvel rvel recess, yes vel, Oh
my lord, have mercy. Watch this kid play. He is fast.

(03:55):
He is physical, He's one of them. Like here I
say this, it feels like I'm watching Fred Warner.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Hey, yeah, I don't know if Fred Warner is six
four two forty five guys, No he's not. Yeah. Well,
his Ohio State overview starts with this sentence, which pretty
much sums up what you just said. Arvela is a
superbly talented tackler who is on the cusp of exploding
onto the national scene. Sounds like, yeah, they were right, Yes, yes,

(04:33):
yes they were. The other thing I have and I
know that you've already brought this up. The difference between
the first five games for Jackson Arnold and the first
five games for peyton Thorn, which is what kind of
made Hugh Freeze and Auburn fans want to go and
get a better quarterback, is fascinating because peyton Thorn had

(04:54):
four hundred more passing yards, five more touchdown passes, but
was one in four through five games. Jackson Arnold is
three and two with five touchdown passes, only eight hundred
passing yards, no interceptions. Peyton Thorn had six up to
this point. Four of those came in one game, and
then in the rushing yards, Jackson Arnold came out and

(05:15):
he rushed for one thirty seven against Baylor, but he
only has fifty five cents then in four games after that.
So I don't know, Man, it doesn't seem like they had.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
It was the Thorn last year, and I was like
when I would watch Peyton Thorn, I was just like,
he's not great, but neither is he terrible. He's not terrible.
And this was my fear for Auburn when Jackson Arnold
went over there. He's not He's like paralysis by analysis.
When you're watching him play, there are people open, there

(05:49):
are like he just won't throw the football. It's like
he won't throw it until he's sure. And the problem.
And so he got sacked ten times against lahomap and
then seven last week versus what was text a and
M right, yeah, And out of those seventeen sacks, ten

(06:13):
of them were his fault because he was holding the
ball too long, like the balls got to go Either
the balls gotta go out or you gotta get out.
I mean, like his protection hasn't been superb, but neither
has it been as bad as the amount of sacks
that he's accumulated. I mean, he's just standing back, it's like,

(06:34):
have you ever played Mario Kart?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, so when you're playing Mario Kart and you see
the ghosts come up and they put the oil on
the so part of the screen is blacked out. That's
what it looks like. Happens at the snap that they
put the oil upon him or blurred the background. And
you're like, and he's like, bro, the blackgrounds burn, the
background is blurry. What do you want me to do?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So literally seeing ghosts.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yes, literally seeing sing ghosts.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
My last thing from last week is the now that
I've watched Bill O'Brien loose to Stanford and Cal in
the same season, with Stanford having an interim coach and
the col game was at Boston College. Yeah, I'm starting
to think this thing that people are talking about how
NFL coaches don't work in college.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh, you're just starting to think that that doesn't work. No,
it doesn't work the same way that college coaches.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
We had a limited sample size and eventually you would
get some evidence to the contrary. But you can't be
with say Stanford Cal in the same season.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's a different game. College football is a different game.
It is a like you're way more matchup based in
the NFL than in college, where your systems are your
schemes and all these things have to be working together
and married. And like recruiting takes such a big factor.

(08:07):
Like coaches think they're so smart. Oh, we'll just game
plan this and this and this. It don't matter if
you Jimmy's and Joe's ain't right, buddy.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, And in the NFL, like ten and seven is
cool as long as you're as long as you are
on the way up when it comes tournament time. Exactly,
you can lose seven games in the NFL and be
a good coach. Right now, Boston College is one and three,
and I'm like, this is the worst staff of all time. Yes, so,

(08:35):
I mean, and this is no shade to Cal and Stanford,
but people have to understand.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Neither of Cal loss teams.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, okay, you said it a little more direct than
I would have. But Cal literally lost everyone, and Stanford
doesn't have a permanent head coach and also lost everyone.
This should not be happening now. Shout out to the
West coach. I love that part of it, but it
just does not look good for Boston College right now.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Not even a little bit dude, this looks tough. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Your takeaways from the weekend.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
My takeaways from the weekend. The first thing is is fans.
I mean, Lord, have mercy. Can we have a monicum
of like patience and and like temperance? I understand the
fan is short for a fanatic, but at some point
in time, we can't be firing everybody because firing people

(09:33):
means that recruits, d commit people, hopping the transfer portal.
It starts some level of rebuild. A lot of times,
the best answer is to love yours and fix yours
instead of just trying to think that you're just gonna
throw the next thing in the trash. My next thing

(09:54):
is the Big ten is crazy good, Bro, Big ten
is crazy good. You have. Obviously, Ohio State and Oregon
look elite. You have. I don't think that there's one
SEC team right now that looks elite, that that looks well,
excuse me, except for Oklahoma. Outside of Oklahoma, none of
these teams appear elite. Because you can't say Alabama is

(10:18):
they lost to Florida State, so might they turn into
an elite football team? Possible? Georgia does not look like
an elite football team. Texas hadn't played anybody with a
post since they you know, a competitive game, since they
lost to Ohio State. So and Arch hadn't looked that great.
So who knows. They might be elite, but they've not.

(10:40):
There's no evidence of that so far. Texa and m
Reese is a good football player, is a good playmaker,
but he's not a great passer. Yet they have way
too many penalties. Oh miss, you're like who And I

(11:03):
wasn't a believer, but now I'm getting close to you know,
imagine dragons, but believe, believe. But the Big Ten though
Indiana looks really good. Illinois, even after they got skull
drug a week a week ago, came back and then
beat USC and more. You actually see excuses, but that's

(11:30):
a whole nother story. They they pre they pre complained
and then they're now they're post complaining. And but yeah,
Michigan is a tough out. But I think Michigan fits.
Michigan and USC and Illinois fit along with those SEC teams.
Penn State is still a very good football team. If
they can figure out what to do with Drew Aller,

(11:51):
or Drew Allerd can figure out what to do one
of the two so yeah, and then the last thing
is special quarterback. Like special quarterbacks matter. If you're gonna
win a national championship, your quarterback at some point in
time has to be a superhero. And not very many

(12:12):
times during the regular season, but in the playoffs he's
gonna have to be special at least once. And so yeah,
and we saw that on full display with Dante Moore.
He's been special, you know, ty Ty Simpson. In the
Alabama Georgia game, he was special. I mean, I would

(12:33):
even say an Arizona States game, even though that Levin
didn't play great initially, he showed he's pretty special. You know.
Uh yeah, special guys make special plays and and when
you get in the crunch, you need your quarterback to
be special. Rough.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I was on mute so that I didn't didn't interject
on your Arizona State point, but I was. And you're
talking about Sam Levitt. It brings me back to Jackson
Arnold because he can run. And you don't want your
quarterback to be leaving the pocket all the time. But

(13:23):
if you're not seeing downfield, well sometimes you just got
to take off. And that's what Sam Levitt does a
lot of do I wish that you would step up
in the pocket and let it fly, yeah, because I
think that that's a more sustainable plan for success. But
you can't stand in if you're getting blown up. And
Jackson Arnold has the athletic ability to get out and
run and I think he's costing Auburn right now. But
you do have to have that self belief to just go.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
We got to just go win, like like, yo, I'm
not seeing it clear. I'll figure it out. But but
until then, we got to get some furs downs until
until this get until the until the paint comes off,
until the blur goes goes away. You know, we got
to get first nouns.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
All right. So let's get to this week's storylines. And
you asked me to put one on our list, and
I was a little bit confused about it, but now
I'm kind of excited to talk about this. So the
song Mobomba, which is is this new to you or
is it just was on in the background and you
never paid attention to it before?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, no, no, I've always heard it, so it yeah, no, no, no, no,
I've known about this song for a very long time. Now.
You I didn't know who sheck Wes was like, I
didn't know who the who the artist was, but this
is a song that came out in twenty eighteen, and

(14:50):
obviously we can't play it again.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Game changes SoundCloud, SoundCloud like this is the the xxx
Tentasion and check. Well, yeah, that the emergence of SoundCloud rappers,
like not actually coming out through a label, but you
gain your own fandom and then somebody else comes and
co signs you and and they mutually benefit off your success.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Correct, So he signed with Good Music and all of
that stuff, and that's the song that they play at
Penn State. Man, m M, so, I hope you guys
get it right. So the reason why I'm paying attention

(15:31):
to this right is because it reminded me of when
I was in Jacksonville and we used to play this song.
So mind you, when I first got to Jacksonville, the
Weavers owned the team, and we had the oldest cheerleaders
in the league and the most conservatively dressed cheerleaders in

(15:54):
the league because that's the way Missus Weaver wanted it
okay and.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Allowed to be on the team unless you got a mortgage.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Du dude. We had like two like damn near forty
year olds on the cheerleading team, and and so I
was so it was just something that we knew, especially
because a couple of guys were talking to a couple
of the cheerleaders. So you know, you kind of get
more of the inside school, right, but in the.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Stadium state, well, yeah, what conversations does at twenty five
year old have with a forty year old?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh no, no, no, no, they weren't dating the old ones.
They were dating the younger ones.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh okay.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
So the whole point is is that, so we had,
you know, more mature cheerleaders, and the music in the
stadium was like it was always like you know, Phil Collins,
I can't feel it come and then. But we only

(16:55):
had like eight white guys on the entire team, right,
eight or nine one of the one of the years
we were the least white team in the entire league. Right,
we had three black quarterbacks. I know that everybody thinks
that the Ravens were the first to do it. No,
we had Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, and Quinn Gray. Those
were our three quarterbacks. And so, to make a long

(17:19):
story short, so one of the songs that would play
in the stadium was it was. It was like and
every time the defense came on. Mind we had one
of the top defenses in the league, it was like, uh,
oh god, what was the song? It was a David

(17:41):
Banners song, and it would be like you might get
your uh, might get your we e split, might get
your car shot up, might get your dog kicked. Right,
and this is playing in the stadium.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Didn't you have somebody on a team who did get
shot in their car?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes, damn damn. That was until years later, but still damn. Oh,
shout out Richard Callier. So I was thinking about Mobomba, right,
which is being played in State College, Okay, And I

(18:16):
know that people play, you know, different stuff in the stadiums.
I don't think anybody really pays attention to the lyrics, right,
have you? Do you know how the song starts?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yes? I do.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
It says I got hoes calling a young in phone,
where's ali at with the mother e F and dope bb.
I'd be balling like a mo phone my pro and
you're like uh, and it goes on and off. But

(18:52):
the point is is, I'm like, I don't know if
if the people in the crowd really know what the
lyrics of this song is because they like you see,
when when it comes on, maybe the whole crowd would
be going to like all the students know what the
lyrics say. I need to I need to get a

(19:15):
video of the student section, like, huh, let's let's see
who's singing these words.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I'm telling you, man, don't make people think. Don't make
people think, because it just ruins everything. Every I've been
covering high school football for the last thirteen years, every
game I've ever been to, they get sweet Caroline going.
Every single game they get sweet.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Caring Caroline us. Yeah, you know what, there's something weird
going on there.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well, then you're gonna want to ear muffs for this
next part. It's a Neil Diamond wrote that song about
a photo of Caroline Kennedy on a horse when she
was like thirteen years old. It's a rown man's song
about about like a thirteen year old girl sitting on
a horse standing with her family. He Okay, to be

(20:04):
fair to Neil Diamond, he's just describing what's happening in
the photo. But he wrote a whole song off a
photo of a thirteen year old girl. And it's like
the number one song played at high school football games,
and the whole thing just feels weird. It feels weird
to me, that's all I'm not. I choose not to
sing along. Everybody makes their own choice. Now that you

(20:26):
have that information, next time that song comes on, maybe
maybe you'll be giving informed consent when you're saying bob
bob bo.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I need I need to ask Neil Diamond. I need
to ask Neil Diamond in like nineteen eighty what he
was talking about now in twenty twenty five. I need
to ask him, like the year, the year it came out.
I need to ask him what this like. I understand
it's about where you like lusting after her? Or is

(20:57):
this somebody that that you just thought was dope You
just wanted to write a song about her because she
was so sweet and cool and all of it.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, And I mean and something like I'm a creative
writing major. Like they teach you, like you look at
a picture, they teach you to write small, like how
many words can you write about not a picture, but
like the corner of a picture. How descriptive can you be?
It's an exercise or whatever, But I do want to
go like full Drewski like, hmm, what do you mean
by that? Yeah, when he says good times never looked
so good, so good, so so good, so good. Yeah,

(21:29):
like what are we what are we doing here? So anyway, that's.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
There's a lot of to talk about the mobile, So
that I was ruined Neil Diamond. Yes, probably not.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Everyone probably hates what they're listening to right now, but
I do like it that it's a it's a white
out and they're all in there talking about selling dope.
A song written by the time. I think it is
set by a seventeen year old wrote a song about
selling dope and having hose and yeah, good job guys.
All right, so noxt up is hard. It is, it is,

(22:04):
it is. I love There's an edit out there that
somebody made of what's that Tom Hanks Christmas movie that's
animated like computer graphic animated the about the train the
Polar Express. Oh yeah, yeah, there's like a mobomba Polar
Express at it and it's it's what the Internet was

(22:28):
made for. Highly recommend after the show checking it out.
Next up on our topics is Arkansas Fire. Sam Pittman,
you had to see this one coming. What I did
not see coming was well, we knew Bobby Petrino was
probably going to step into that role for the rest
of the season. But he immediately started making himself at home,
moving the furniture around, making hirings and firings, and he

(22:50):
I think he is going to do his absolute best
to re establish himself as the head coach of Arkansas.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh, they're giving him, they are one hundred giving him
a shot. This is his audition and he's taking it.
This feels like it when he hired Bobby Petrino, you
knew he was getting fired. You let the fox in
the henhouse, bro, you knew, dude, this is this has

(23:20):
my movie written all over it. The number two in charge.
He brings them over and he's got a he used
to be in charge, and now something happened, and you know,
and then he got demoted. And then the grandfather, like
the big boss, he put in the new person. And
now he's ingratiated. Bobby Petrino's ingratiated himself back into the family.

(23:45):
He's proven himself, trusted, he's proven himself. And then first
first chance he gets yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm taking my
spot back. And now he's like, get in the here like, yeah,
this feels comfortable again. Y'all thought I was y'all thought
I was gone. Huh I I I'm back. We're back

(24:06):
in business. We're better now. Dude, he is going to
go out there. I guarantee they win a couple of games.
Now there, This is going to add. But you can't
assume that people haven't grown and changed. So maybe Bobby
Petrino won't be on a motorcycle with a staffer, you know,

(24:28):
and getting getting an accident again with somebody he's not
supposed to be on on there with. Maybe he's grown
from that. But this was this was in the like,
oh of course, and water is wet.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, it's not my school, so you know, I'm not
I'm not judging their process or whatever. But let's let's
just take a moment. Let's just take a moment to
talk about how he lost his job. Now, he was
a controversial figure before he lost his job. Yes, he

(25:08):
interestingly enough the Atlanta Falcons who he went to be
fair to Boby Patrino. He went to the Atlanta Falcons
to be Mike Vic's head coach. Mike Vick got in
some legal trouble. Mike vic paid his debt to society
and ultimately ended up back in the NFL. We're talking
about Bobby Petrino, and I do believe that there is
the forgiveness does exist, and apparently so did the decision

(25:31):
makers in Fayetteville. But he went to the Atlanta Falcons,
yes he did. He put a note on everybody's locker
as like a breakup goodbye note, and he went to
take the head coaching job at University of Arkansas. The
interesting thing about that is the Falcons had just used
a first round pick on defensive end Jamal Anderson out

(25:53):
of Arkansas, so he like abandoned. This is kind of
like the Bill Belichick Patriots beef when Drake may is
the most visible Patriot, right, So he leaves Jamal Anderson
to go to Jamal Anderson's school, He takes the Arkansas job.
They're looking good, and then he decides to hide. He's
fifty one at the time, fifty one years old, and

(26:15):
he hires himself a player development coordinator staffers secretary who
is twenty five. I'm gonna leave her name out of
it because I'm sure it's been brought up plenty of
times this week. But he gave this nice young woman
who he was twenty six years older then, and if
you believe in the half plus seven rule of dating,

(26:35):
this was a serious violation of that, which is that
you shouldn't your dating pool should not extend to anybody
that is outside of the range of half of your
age plus another seven years. So this was a twenty
five year old and he was fifty one. That's less
than half, so he is has he is married with
four kids at the time, and carrying on.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
This relationship. Like, that's actually a good rule. Because I was,
I was doing the math. I was like, hold up,
I'm forty four. So that means that, according to Ralph's rule,
if I were to be back on the market, which
I am nowhere near back on the market by by
the way, happily married, it would be twenty hypothetical yes,
nine years old, yeah, twenty nine pretty pretty young.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
But like, but but that's the floor, right.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yes, yes, that's the yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, And then you would be you would be somebody who,
assuming that you dated older, that someone half plus seven
for you would be like fifty eight or something like
that or I don't know, around that, around that. If

(27:48):
if you're looking to find.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
A more mature No, bro, no, because think think about it.
Sixty plus sixty is thirty and then that thirty seven,
so that will put me at like seven six. No,
like like seventy five.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Bro, You're not going to cash those social Security checks.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Come on here, man, stop man stop many show Anyway,
he decided to go on a romantic motorcycle ride picnic
with his staffer who was having a relationship with this
by being married and having four kids, and.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
He crashed his bike and broke his neck and four
ribs and cut up his face something fierce and then
told everybody that he was by himself, but a state
police report said there was a girl hiding in the
bushes who had also fallen off the bike. This ultimately
ended up costing him his job at Arkansas, And here

(28:49):
we are thirteen years later, and he's the interim head
coach at the same college where that happened. And it
just goes to show you, man, if you're if you're
in the middle of something in your life that you
don't feel like you can get past, let Bobby Petrino
be your beacon of hope that that you're gonna be

(29:09):
fine as long as as long as you you you
didn't commit a crime so egregious that somebody is harmed
for the rest of their life. You know, I'm assuming
his relationship with his family is somewhat interesting. But you know,
there's always hope for you. You can always be redeemed.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I suppose, Hey, yes, he can be redeemed. Him and
Becky are still married.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
If Becky can't forgive him, why can't we?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Right? And you don't. You don't know when you're when
you're standing up there and you're giving your vows that
in sickness and in health. That sickness could include a
broken neck and four broken ribs from crashing motors like, well,
your mistress on the back. But and that technically it
is in the scope of that. Yeah, so shout out.
That's a good woman for standing by her man as

(30:03):
he crashes his motorcycle with his mistress on the back.
But anyway, so Arkansas is now is now under the
charge of Biby Petrino. He's firing people people who probably
Sam Pittman needed to fire. To be honest, I don't
think Arkansas fans are taking his candidacy seriously. But is
there anything he could do. Yes to cementis yes, bro?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
When when now? I mean, at the end of the day,
is going to come down to the administration whether they
feel comfortable with him. But you got to remember too,
who's going to be their pool of candidates. That's the
biggest question is who is going to take this job?

(30:50):
Obviously it's an SEC job. But is it one of
those jobs when the ad comes out and says that
he didn't have the financial resources that he felt like
that he needed to be successful, and you know, you
got They play at Tennessee, Texas, A and m Auburn,
Mississippi State, at LSU at Texas and Missouri. So they

(31:16):
got seven games left and those are the seven games.
If he wins four of those games, he's getting a job.
Hell I give him the job he wins four of
those games, you know, offense against. If if he goes
and wins four games of those games and they got

(31:38):
beat by Notre Dame fifty six to thirteen and they
didn't score no more points, I wouldn't actually, you know what,
I wouldn't give him the job because then I would
know that that this was sabotage.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Do you know who they want? Who do you know
who that.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh, they probably want Ryan Silverfield from Memphi.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
You would, you would think, But they are all in
on John Sumraw of Tulane.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Oh I'm not I'm mad at that. I am not
mad Froy he was good at Tulane. Both of those
schools are about seven hundred miles away from from Fayetteville,
but they're in the South.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I think that those two coaches, in particular, Ryan Silverfield
and some are all are going to be in high
demand in this cycle because you got Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech,
U c l A, Arkansas all open right now. I

(32:39):
think I missed one, but they're all open right now,
and they're all they've all said pretty much all of them,
we want an experienced head coach and this this and
this is proven winner, all right. So PJ. Fleck already
told U c l A. I'll pass. So I mean,

(33:03):
who are you gonna steal if you're any of these schools. Oh,
and then Florida is probably gonna get opened up after
this weekend if they get boat raced by.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Texas two former one school that Jedfish is an alumni
of and one where he coached Josh Rosen. Any chance
you think he moves again.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I specifically asked if Jedfish was gonna take the UCLA job.
Answer was no, and I feel confident about that. I
did not ask about the Florida job, did not have
a chance to ask about that one. But his family's
in Arizona. Do you think they would move to Florida?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Hmm, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
It's tough when it's your alma manor, that's tough. You
went through this with Mario Christobal. Yep, leaving Oregon. It's hard.
It's really hard to say no. So we'll see what
We'll see what happened.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I wouldn't hate that for Washington.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
So I gotta we gotta move on to this next segment.
And I just this is me just admitting that it
maybe I'm aging. I hated the University of Virginia field storm.
It made me nervous and anxious and weirded out. Now
this is just gut reaction because my kids rain up
to me and they're like, did you see this?

Speaker 1 (34:29):
And I I had that storm of all time, Yeah,
already hit the ground.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yes, And I shout out University of Virginia one of
my son's teammates is going there. We were big Tony
Ellit fans. We like to see them improved. They're doing great.
College football is more fun when when they're doing well
and not just producing one or two good players that
go to the NFL every year. But I my visceral

(34:56):
reaction to that was like, these players are in danger.
Then my kids rain up to me, you gotta see
this field storm because they're young, they would love to
be part of that someday they think it's cool. And
I was like, I don't want to see that. And
then later that night, my wife's like, you gotta see this.
Did you see this? I'm like I can't. I can't
watch it again. So I also do want to point
out for anybody watching this show on YouTube, I am

(35:16):
not Dan Lanning. I just it's been in my mind
this entire time. But hey, Shane was plugged. Shane was plugged.
We did have Dan Lanning on a freak show on Tuesday,
make sure the wrong one. Make sure that you check
out Dan Lanning's interview with George Reister that took place

(35:39):
right after Oregon beat Penn State in Happy Valley. There's
a good plug right it's a good transition. Anyway, I'm
soft and old now. And I did not like the
field storm. What is your take on.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
That, Ralph? I cannot believe that you are such a
a caring for this. However, I'm not saying don't do it.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I just didn't want to see it.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
I don't hold on, hold on, hold on, You're gonna
you're gonna want don't don't bury the lead here, Okay.
I am one hundred percent in agreement with you, dude.
I was like, dude, I'm getting I'm getting old, soft guy,
because because all I saw was a potential trampling. That's
all I saw. I saw a play, a player standing

(36:32):
on the ground people, he got engulfed by people. He
could have got trampled. And that was now mind you.
But at the same time, I am in on the
field storm. I just think that you just need to
just make sure that all players can get up off
the field. But then fans have to and and my

(36:53):
social media got blown up this this week because it
was from that thing. Because you had a fan walk
up to Thomas cat Casting give him the finger.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Right, yeah, And.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I had that happen at Oregon State, and I don't
remember exactly what I did, but there was some contact
with me and the fan. Okay, he was in my way.
I was going to the locker room. They had won,
they stormed the field. He is in my way of

(37:29):
me getting to the locker room. Mind you, this is
like two thousand I so there aren't as many cameras on.
And thank God for this because I probably would have
been in trouble for what happened. And I don't remember exactly,
but yes, there was contact between me and the fan
and he wouldn't get his ass upbout the way and

(37:51):
he just was And I do believe that fans in
those moments that you have to rene that emotions are high.
These are people who just finished, you know, like clashing
at each other, being super physical and all of this stuff,
so your testosterone super like. Bad things can can happen.
You should celebrate the moment, but but don't fafo like

(38:18):
like you yeah, like when Lagarrett Blunt punched Byron Hout.
He shouldn't have did it, but I get it. And
people on my Twitter were like, oh, Georgia is so
soft and this, this and this, because I said, if
Thomas Cassianos had punched this dude or pushed him or
something he being the wrong and they were like, oh

(38:40):
my god, he makes money now, Like that doesn't mean
that that's okay. There's a reason why the NFL does
not allow field storms because players would there would be
confrontations because fans don't know how to freaking act storm
the field celebrate what you yeah, exactly against this season,

(39:04):
and he pushed the fan away. It comes a point
where you have to understand the rules. When you are
a fan. You have the right to boot cheer all
of this stuff because you bought a ticket all of that,
but you do not have the right to do that.
I think that that is too far over the line
and you're running a risk at that point in time

(39:26):
because because people are like, well, he's got to be
able to control his emotion, dude, he just finished playing
a football game, like trying to like trying somebody trying
to knock his head off. He's trying to knock other
people's head off. And you think that there is like
rationality in that moment, Like it takes a minute to decompress.
It's like when you get in an argument, how long

(39:47):
does it take you or you're getting ready to have
some sort of altercation. How long does it take your body,
like your physical body to like calm down and settle it.
It takes a minute, So the same thing in football.
So and if you're in one of those modes, somebody
comes up and you're like or if you're you just
got in a fight with your wife and all this

(40:08):
stuff and the kids come up bothering you, like what
same thing.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
It reminded me of those Black Friday videos where like
the Walmart employee would go up to the front door
to unlock it and then all of a sudden they
just get destroyed by everybody flooding through the doors. Like
me and these guys are just trying to do their job.
It freaked me out a little bit. But I'm not
against field storming. I just am against humans getting trampled. Yes,

(40:35):
that shouldn't be a controversial take. But I do want
to talk a little bit more about fans and fan
behavior because University of Colorado just got fined fifty thousand
dollars for some of the stuff that the students were
chanting against BYU. And now, to be fair to the

(40:57):
Colorado fans, this is this is not an excuse at all.
They were in rare form all night, Yeah, all night,
Like you could hear the chance on the broadcast. There
was a guy, a cornerback would be for BYU. His
last name was Johnson, I think number twenty three, and
all you can hear is few Johnson, like over and
over again, and he and that dude would just make

(41:19):
plays and he's like not giving it back to the crowd,
but you could tell he heard it and he's fired up.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
You know, the crowd is going and I see. I
think that that's inbounds. I think it's out of bounds
in terms of because it's a family environment. But I
think that chanting at a player like is completely in
inbounds unless you're like, uh, where's your mother and your
mother died, like like that's not.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Cool, right, Well, I mean I so I grew up.
I grew up in when I was a very small
kid in Laramie, Wyoming, and BYU was a big opponent
and like you know, Danny Ainge and stuff like that
there at the time, and they you know, they'd come
to Laramie and the whole chant would be you know,
I'm like three years old at the time. Whole Arena

(42:05):
chanting fu BYU like this stuff, Like there's always been
a pretty big anima since Jordan Shoog's but like the
this whole thing of like it's twenty twenty five and
we're still doing the religion thing.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, yeah, that was it's played. It's played.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
But what do you think of the fine? Do you
think that's gonna help everybody else kind of get get
out ahead of it like that, hey, like this thing
is off limits?

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Or do you think it's just gonna there's only one
thing that you can do to stop that because they
don't care that the school got fined, so you so.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
You know it doesn't come out of their pocket.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I'm passing it on to the students. If we get
fined for this, I'm passing it on. There's gonna be
a dollar tax for There's gonna be a dollar tax
every time we get fined.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
I here's one thing, though, don't put a price tag
on on me being ignorant, because I'll then I'll know
exactly how.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Much how much the ignorance.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah, I'll be like I'll be like, b y, you
will get an interception and then I'll be like pulling
up my bank ap all right, I'll yeah, he venmo
me for what I'm about to say to the quarterback.
So I don't know about putting a price on it.

(43:28):
But but this just continues to be an issue with
b Yu and H not because of b y U
B why I didn't do anything, But I am curious
as to, you know, what what can be done, because yeah,
why would a student Why would the students care? If
you're like, hey, don't do this, We're gonna get fined,
I'd be like, all right, well then well.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Cool already anyway, so pay away.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah, I just it's hard to imagine this not continuing,
considering it.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
As the only thing that you can do is assess
fifteen yard penalties because now you are negatively impacting your team.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
That's fair, that's fair. But if that's the case, and
I'm a BYU fan, I'm going into other teams colors,
I'm saying the most ignorant stuff. I'm like, hell, and
I know and I know my scriptures, so you know
it's gonna be nasty work.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oh my god, you hate.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Like nineteen seventy nine, just like it wouldn't you know,
and so like it would be one of those things
where there's always some type of workaround or whatever. But
I just I don't know what you do to get
students to not get on the religion thing, because it's tired,
it's played out, it's stupid now, it's costing school's money.

(44:45):
But if you did make it a penalty, that would
be I think that would shut people up in the moment,
for sure, Oh for sure, But there's always a bounce
back to it, like the people would be more nasty
the next time around. Or outside the football state, if
you everybody could just love everybody, that'd be sweet. But
speaking of contentious issues, we have multiple college football personalities

(45:11):
considering getting into national politics. The big headline one is
Paul Feinbaum telling your old buddy Clay Travis that he
was approached prior to the Charlie Kirk shooting and the
seat had already been planted for him to potentially run
for a United States Senate seat, and then the Charlie

(45:36):
Kirk thing happened and it made him seriously consider He said,
he did bring up he's thought about politics before, but
because he was a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, it
meant there was no avenue for him, and so what
I want to say to anybody who's confused about what
that means is, I'm a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina.

(45:57):
It means you're priying not getting elected as a as
a white man out of out of the Queen city.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's I mean, that is what he was
for senator.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Unless yeah, unless it was a Senate Yes, unless it
was for Senate. But Charlotte is a very blue city
in a purple state, a state that's very red on
the like local politics level. Yeah, but Charlotte's a very,
very very blue city. But what do you think about that?
I'm assuming maybe Tennessee or something like that. Paul fine Bomb,

(46:35):
United States Senator.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Paul fine Bomb is very influential with people. His base
loves them. I just don't know what he stands for,
so I have no idea. But I mean, we're in
a day and age where you actually don't have to
stand for anything. You just have to be standing next
to the right people. So I I mean, I don't

(47:03):
even know what he believes, what he doesn't believe. I
know what he thinks about Alabama. I know what he
thinks about you know. And I listened to the Paul
Fine Bomb Show. So I'm not sure, and I don't
even know where he stands on a lot of things,
so I'm unsure.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
I would I think that he would be uniquely qualified
to be a city councilman. Yeah, and that's not a
slight Like if you ever go to a city council meeting,
they give the microphone to all these people and they
voice their concerns and some of them, some of those
concerns are out from outer space and they sound like
Fine Bomb callers. And he does pretty good at sorting

(47:38):
through people just saying nonsense on his show and then
ignoring them completely. So maybe he'll be the perfect politician
because really, all it is, especially on the United States
Senate level, is you get handed the book that is
your party platform. So these are the things that you
believe today. It might shift, but these are the things
you believe today, go out and defend them. And that's
why I think all college football personalities and fans would

(48:00):
be uniquely suited for the current American political climate because
I'm gonna support my team no matter what. I'm gonna
come up with excuses for my team no matter what
Michigan cheats, and I'm a Michigan fan. No they didn't.
Ohio State cheats in the exact same way, and I'm
a Michigan fan, Yes they did.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
So I think, like, why can't we just tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
So the other rumored personality is Todd Graham.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Todd I don't even do. What does Todd Graham believe?
I mean, I don't even know, Like I just know that.
Here's the thing I've learned is that it felt like
you used to have to have some sort of qualifications
to be in politics. It felt like that, right, regardless

(48:48):
whether it's true or not. Like you it felt like
it was a more educated, you know thing. And now
it feels like you can get promoted to, you know,
certain levels of the government and these people have no qualifications.
I mean it would be like it would be like

(49:10):
making thinking that you have a ga on your staff
as a college football guy, and then been like, yo,
he should be chief of staff, Like moving him up
to chief of staff You're like, he has no or
moving him up to athletic director or head coach. You're like,

(49:30):
just because this person may be talented in your mind
or whatever, if they have no, like they're gonna fail
at the job.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Yeah, Okay, So let's forget the name Todd Graham. Let's
just forget that you know who that is, because you
know who that is. So if I came to you
and I said, George, do you think that this person
would be a decent candidate for a United States office,
let's say a congressional seat, and you say, like, tell

(49:59):
me a little bit about them, and I'd say, okay,
raised in a raised in a poor town, had a
kid at fifteen, went on to go to college anyway,
even though they had a kid at fifteen years old,
didn't have a dad, and you know, still managed to

(50:20):
go to college. And then from that point on went
to work in high school education and managed to work
their way up to manage hundreds of people, and then
moved into the post secondary education sector where they managed

(50:42):
hundreds of people and million dollar organizations in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
and Arizona and Hawaii, and volunteered the last few years
after leaving the organization in Hawaii at a private Christian
school in Texas and is now back consulting in post

(51:06):
secondary education in a multi million dollar business. So forget
the name Todd Graham at all. If I just described
those traits to you. Would you say that that's a
person that like, oh, they've managed people, they've been all
over the country. They pulled themselves up by their bootstraps,
and that even if they are not.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Like competent in the full subject matter, that they will
that they'll get up to speed. Yes, that's what I
would think.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
So, but that's the interesting thing is I'm like, Okay, well,
what I'm talking about was the head coach of Allen
High School football who went on to be the head
coach Yes Pitt Tulsa, Rice, Arizona State, and Hawaii. Should
that be a congressman, I don't know, but yeah, mean
be beer garden variety Christian conservative. And he you know,
he still lives in Arizona even though he works in

(52:01):
Texas or whatever. So best of luck to him. But yeah,
it's tough even being somebody who follows college football. One,
this is a a real job for.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
The people that vote. Yeah, we can move on, but
that just do what's right for the people that vote
for you and tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
That's all I want, very very simple. I like it. Well,
let's stay in politics, since you love it so much.
Ted Cruz has come out against the Safe Act, calling
it artisan. The Safe Act is an alternative to the
Score Act. Some stuff in the Safe Act is that
an athlete can transfer twice without the penalty of sitting out.
It guarantees your scholarships for ten years after eligibility, so

(52:41):
you can go back to finish school five years post eligibility.
Medical coverage for players, which is important, and it creates,
perhaps most importantly, a registry and certification for agents of
college players. I don't know much about any of this.
You are actually my source of ination on what is
right and wrong in this, And I also know that

(53:03):
sometimes Ted Cruz gets on your nerves as as he
does everybody, but he is. He is coming out and
saying that he will not support this bill at this point,
do you care which bill passes?

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yes, I want neither one of them to pass, because
there are some So my my biggest issue with the
with the Score Act and the Safe Act is that

(53:39):
neither one of these things will get us to collective
bargaining like this. This is giving the schools, well the
powers that be, so much power over what happens that
the athletes now have no control. And that's the thing
I don't like about either. One of them, because the

(54:01):
thing that is going to stop the lawsuits, even the
Score Act, the Safe Act, it is still going to
lead to more lawsuits and all of this stuff, but
they're going to be able to fight them on some
level because the Safe Act has an antitrust exemption and
Ted Cruz not supporting it because it's a Democrat led bill.
That's why it was brought up by Corey Booker. I

(54:23):
think that's why Ted Cruse is not supporting it. Now,
I just said so, I just said that, you know,
I would not I don't want either one of them
to pass. I think that there are very good things
in both of them. There are both very good things
in the Score Act, very good things in the Safe Act.
But it doesn't matter. They all there needs to be

(54:44):
one individual governing body over college sports, and they need
to negotiate with the players about whether it's practice time,
money transferred limits, all of those things. Negotiate them out.
Then there's no way to sue, and then we can
go on and move forward and make the game better.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
All right, let's get into the reister wrong segment. We'll
roll through some of these pretty quick. Lane Kiffin beats
Brian Kelly beats his daughter's boyfriend. He pukes on the
field during the game. Incredible clip. Have you ever thrown
up on the field?

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Yes, with my rookie year preseason game Tampa Bay, I
threw up on the field because I was tired. I
wasn't supposed to It was my first game, I think,
and I wasn't supposed to play as much as I did.
And I ended up playing on special teams because there
was injuries on special teams. Playing every play on offense. Yeah,

(55:47):
it was too much and I threw up on the field,
but I puked them rally.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
There we go. It does it. Nothing feels better than
get better out than in, I guess. But he trolled
wit Weeks immediately after the game and said I'm gonna
go find him and see if we covered the over,
and then he posted some pretty innocuous comments from Brian
Kelly on his Twitter account, which is that we want
to win the game. Like that's what I took the

(56:13):
comments to be, Like, we're gonna go out there, We're
gonna win the game. It was like the Matt Hasselback,
we want the ball and we're gonna score. Yeah, you know,
so he throws that back in Brian Kelly's face. My
question for you is is he doing too much?

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Not yet? The only time that I don't like Lane
Kiffin because Lane Kiffin's got to be Lane. The only
thing I don't like about Lane is when Lane gets
to complaining and poking his nose in other people's business,
like team and all that stuff. Yeah, on your team,
your situation, like, don't.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
He control when it's directly related to correct? Which?

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Correct? Yeah? All inbounds?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Okay, reister or wrong. It is a complete travesty to
have Arizona State University at University of Kansas played in
London third game of the season next year.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Who's whose idea is this? Whoever's idea this is needs
to be banned from putting ideas up. They need to
be on idea time out. Because I understand why the
NFL plays in London because there's money to be made

(57:31):
and and even that's a little, you know, a lot sometimes.
I mean they're playing in Germany and Brazil and everywhere else,
but their whole thing is grow and expand the game
because they want more, more money. There's like, there's more
money on Earth and we're not tapping into this European
money and this South American money we need to so
I get it. For the NFL. What benefit does this

(57:53):
do to Arizona State and and and who are they
playing Kansas?

Speaker 2 (57:58):
It's a Kansas.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
It's dope experience for the kids because they because they're
gonna go over there early. Wait, it's the third game
of the season.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, it's not the opener. It's like in the middle
of the season. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
So is there a bye week prior or app I mean,
it's got to be a bye week prior.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I'm assuming or or post. There has to be something,
because that makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
You're you're just gonna fly over there for three days, right,
that wrecks your body. If the kids are gonna get
to go over there before the season and be out
there for a week five days, get a chance to
experience stuff, all of that cool, I love it, but
for the kids, But I hate the idea. What is
Arizona State and Kansas going to gain from this?

Speaker 2 (58:49):
I don't know. I can't think of two more different
cities than London, England, than Tempe, Arizona and Lawrence, Kansas.
So I maybe it's just for the sake of enrichment.
So here's what Kansas's ad said, Travis Goff. This opportunity
is reflective of the growth and trajectory of our football
program and the entire university, and we'll provide our fans
and student athletes with an unprecedented experience. We're excited for

(59:12):
our season ticket holders and students. They'll have six opportunities
to watch a game at the Boot this season because
they're they're doing construction and stuff. So yeah, but it
was about being on the global stage. It's the first
ever college football game at Wembley. I just hate that
it's September nineteen.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
I don't want my Ducks playing out there. I'll tell
you that much. There's no point. There's no point.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
I don't even know what to say, do you hit? So,
speaking of international news, do you care that the Saudi
Investment Fund is now part owner of EA Sports? Will
that affect your purchasing decisions at all? No?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
No, I mean it will not impact it because as
long as they keep making good, good games, I don't care.
I mean, it's a private company, it's a video game maker.
How is that any different than if, you know, if
if Apple sold to you know whoever, Like it's a
private business. They got to make the best move for them.

(01:00:19):
Just keep making good, good video games. I mean, but
there is a whole thing with like ri odd Season
and all of that stuff. One one place where they
want in, but they won't let them in, at least
at this point in time, is the NFL. They're not
getting into the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, I mean, money is money is green, even money
with a little bit of a plasma on it or
a little bit of oil on it, or are saying.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
They're like, hey, who's clean?

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Anyway, Yeah, yeah, you do get into that that logic.
But anyway, Yeah, shout out to EA Sports. If you
were an investor, I think you're getting paid out at
two hundred and ten dollars a share, So congratulations, can
you Yeah that's quite a bit dude, speaking of money
in sports, I guess college football is going to welcome

(01:01:17):
sponsorship patches, Reister, Wrong, Colleges should get in the Jersey patch.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Business, Reister, they should. That doesn't mean I have to
like it. I hated it when the NBA did it.
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
But I think that's because that's because your Lakers sold
space on the Jersey to Wish, which is quite possibly
the most hilarious website of all time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
I've never even been, like, so, I don't even know
how effective it is. I've never even been to wish.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
And then it's like Spencer's Gifts team wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
The sponsor before that, like Ali Baba or something something
like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so oh tweet from Pete
Thamill just came out. Since you're talking about money, the
Big Ten is in discussions about a private a private
capital deal that would infuse at least two billion dollars
to the league and at schools per Me and Dan Wetzel.

(01:02:22):
The discussions include a ten year extension of the league's
grant of rights until twenty forty six. I hate this
with the power of a thousand sons, private equity money
getting into college football. The good part is is that
it will clean up the fat on the coaches contracts.

(01:02:45):
That's first thing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
The the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
And like the buyouts situation, I have no problem with
how much money coach coaches make none. I have a
problem with the buyout situation where.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
That if Luke Chichel gets fired, he's gonna get seven
more years of salary on top of this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Yes, but that that's not even the biggest part. It's
that if Luke Fickle leaves, well, like let's use Brian
Kelly for example, if he leaves LSU depending on where
the contract is now, but when he first signed it,
it was like two million to LSU. If he leaves
two but if they fired him, they would have owed

(01:03:27):
him like seventy eighty million dollars. It may it makes
no sense. There's no incentive to keep your job. There's
no incentive to be good at your job, aside from
like personal you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Know, personal pride, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Personal pride, excitement. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
Well, because I did have to have my wife explained
to me, and the old you guys always side on
the exact same side of stuff. But I always said, like,
now I'll take the annuity, and my wife feels like
you're an idiot, then because you can take the lump
sum and you can turn it into a personal annuity
and then have that money never go away. Yes, And
so I always look at coaching contracts like that. I'm like,

(01:04:10):
going to work every day is the annuity. Getting fired
is the lump sum. So of course people are gonna
be tempted to take the lump sum. But yeah, I
don't know. That's too big of a problem for me
to solve on this podcast. The last two things of
reister are wrong. Mackay Hughes. McKay Hughes running back at
University of Oregon, transferred in from Tulane, rushed for fourteen

(01:04:31):
hundred yards last year, and is now asking to red
shirt because he is not being used. And you say
you like this, So what is reister about Mkay Hughes
asking out of his team duties to red shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Well, from the understanding that he'll still be practicing and
showing up and lifting weights and all of that stuff.
I mean, because you could get into a situation where
if there are injuries, brother, you got to come out
here and see what you can do. But there's been
a fairness with the depth chart. I mean, he got
money to go and transfer to Oregon, and people have

(01:05:10):
outplayed him. From what I've been told that it's not
that they think he's a bad player, they just think
the other people have been sensational. And I think that
that speaks to culture, right, because a lot of times
the money plays at a lot of places like that
person is going to get the benefit of doubt and
everything else over and over again. But to but when

(01:05:34):
you stand or you say that your standard is the
best players are going to play, you have to mean
that regardless of it's the it's the highest paid player
or the lowest paid player. The best players have to play,
regardless of how much you make.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
College football got to be the only industry on Earth
where the reward is the work you get to do,
because in any other situation like this is actually a
more true representation of a meritocracy where someone else at
my job is getting paid more than me, but I'm
doing all the work, yes and so like, but but
we're But in college football we look at that as like, yeah,

(01:06:11):
but you earn that work. Good job. So it's a
weird way to think about it that the reward is
actually the participation in the labor, but that players get
it too. Even if they're making a lot of money,
they're unsatisfied if they're not being used correctly. We see
this in the NFL all the time, where you're making
forty million dollars a year and you're mad because of
what like your skill set's not being used right, or

(01:06:33):
you're not being appreciated or respected. The human ego is
a fascinating, fascinating thing. Last thing in wrister.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
Wrong, hold on, I got a question for you. Ok
I had a question for you. Okay, can you name
there is only one and I just verified this. There
is only one power for a team. Okay. And then
you can add in the American, which is one hundred
percent true for the American percent true for the A

(01:07:01):
C C. Well, sorry, all so, all the power forward conferences,
there's only one team that fits this criteria. You can
add in the American to this too. You can add
in the Mountain West to this as well. This is

(01:07:22):
only true of one team, Ralph. And you can add
the Sunbelt in there too. Okay, there's only one team
out of all those conferences, seven conferences, only one team
has led for zero seconds this entire season.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Hmm Oklahoma State.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Nope, Oklahoma Stay won a football game.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
Oh that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
They beat an FCS team, the Beavers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
State.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
I didn't name the BAC twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Oh okay, okay, back too, uh all right, I don't know.
Tell me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
UCLA.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
H that's bad, that's bad, right, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
They have not led for a single solitary second.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Well, if somebody could clip this and send this to
Joey Agiar. I'm sure. I'm sure he won't be upset
by that fact as he is out in Tennessee having
the time of his life. We started this podcast talking.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
About and Oregon State has led. They were up at
at least in one game. They were up against Fresno
State twelve to seven in the second.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Nice. Well, I know you come to the college football
apostles for your hip hop news and we started talking
about rap. We're gonna end talking about rap. George. Let's
say that you are one of the best selling rappers
of all time and you agree to prefer Jay z
eminem more Southern United States based Southeastern United States.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Oh, I know my way battle week ago. Oh oh gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
And you're also the star of a major, major movie
franchise that has spawned nine sequels. Okay, we'll get there,
we'll get there. You are, you are very very famous rapper, actor, entertainer,
and you book a show, No hold on, you book

(01:09:52):
a show, hold on you book a show at one
of what is expected to be the premier college fotball
games in the country. Okay, you are going to perform
before that college football game. It just so happens that
that's gonna be a matchup of one in three teams.
And it's now kicking off at noon, which means that

(01:10:12):
you got to take the stage at like ten am
as one of the most famous rappers on her is
thats no, no, no, no, okays wrong, you're canceling the gig.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Nah ah nah nah. I'm still gonna show up. I'm
still gonna show up. And and if it's Clemson North Carolina,
so you got a one in three team versus two
and two team, and Clemson is favored by fourteen points
in this game, think about their favorite. That's how bad

(01:10:48):
North Carolina is their favorite about fourteen points. Now, there's
gonna be no pomp and circumstance around in this game.
But these are the chances that you take. And yeah,
but people are still gonna talk about it. They're only
gonna talk about your performance though, And who is this rapper?

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
It would be ludicrous performing in and in the morning
ten in the morning. What's that song you got with
the rooster in it? They're gonna have to it's gonna
be a literal rooster because it's gonna be the first
thing in the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I mean it could be a big well no it can't.
Can't be a big new kick kickoff, but yeah, because
it's a sc game. But yeah, it could have been
a nine am kickoff. You never know, he knew that,
he knew that this could be a thing going going in.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
He'll be all right, it's gonna be. It's gonna be
a seven a m. West Coast Ludicrous Concert. Okay, So
the song with the rooster in it is Saturday, which
is perfect. Yeah, perfect, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah,
that one? Yeah, yeah, all right. So besides dad.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
Pocket full of cash just thick yek yekyk. Yeah, I
know exact what he's doing this one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I think college students might actually understand all the lyrics.
So so let's, uh, let's get into the three things
we're looking forward to this weekend. You want to go first,
you want me to go first.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
I'll go that's fine. Oh dude, there are going to
be upsets this weekend. Looking to the camera, I'm look,
I'm looking. There will be upsets this weekend in college football.
I'm not sure exactly which one it is going to be,
but I'm going to give you a couple of games
that you can assure like you can rest assured that

(01:12:37):
there was going to be an upset either in Purdue, Illinois, Maryland, Washington, UH,
Texas Tech, Houston, Virginia and Louisgo and or or Alabama Bandy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Somebody posted on x that if a ranked team is
an underdog, they lose seventy five percent of the time
to an unranked team. I don't know if it was
an actual statistic, but they were specifically referencing Virginia, Louisville
and Iowa State Cincinnati this weekend that you should bet

(01:13:27):
on Iowa State and on Louisville to win those games.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Oh oh wait, no, no, no, no, you mean Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Yeah, Cincinnati, Virginiaville be nigh with State.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Well, see man Iowa statement. I got themselves beat up
against Arizona and we'll find out what I'm looking forward
to this weekend. So there's this defensive coordinator. This is
real deep in the weeds, but this is what you
like about me. I think his name is Rob A. Rich,
and he came over for Idaho. He came to say
what you're about to. Rob Rich came over from a

(01:14:01):
University of Idaho to San Diego State, he runs a
four two five, And the last two games you had
San Diego State beat Northern Illinois six to three, And George,
do you know what San Diego State did one week
before that?

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Yes, they beat Cow they blanked them. They put up
a bagel exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
And so I figure, maybe we'll be the first national
podcast to maybe mention this guy's name. But I officially
am on Rob Rich watch in his first year as
an as a major, like FBS defensive coordinator, he got
back to back no touchdown game.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Okay, so San Diego State is three and one, Bro,
They've only given up sixteen points the whole season.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Well, no, because they got they got rocked by Washington State.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Oh but that was kind of like that was kind
of like I was like, oh my god, they only
gave up thirteen points to Washington State.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
Never know they were into that. But in the last
two weeks it's starting to work a little bit. And
and after what they did to Cal I was like,
who the hell's on this staff because I knew Sean
Lewis right, Yeah, and then they get a six, they
get a six to three game, and now that's two
games no scores.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Colorado State Mummy and Colorado State and then to your
boy Tuba party shubble.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
It be. Yeah, you got to start. That's a name
to look out for. The Other thing I'm looking forward
to and I might go to this game if I
don't go to the Ludicrous concert. Uh is the return
of Malik Murphy to North Carolina as Oregon State travels
to Boon. I think that this is so lame. Please
don't Oregon State's jerseys. They got the fall colors and everything,

(01:15:59):
and they're coming to the Blue Ridge Mountains as all
the leaves are turning orange. I just think it's gonna
be gorgeous and magical in a good color game. So
shout out to Malik Murphy. I hope you get your
lick back. They are the Beavers are own five right
now and I am I just yeah, I think it's
gonna be a good color game. I like those things.
And my last thing is I wanted to pre mourn

(01:16:24):
with you that your your pick to go to the
college football Playoff from the G five is gonna be
playing in Hell this weekend and it will probably be
the end of their undefeated run because UNOV goes to
Laramie and they're a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Of a Wyoming.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
Oh you switched, yeah, okay, okay, then you're saved. Then
you're safe. There is a little bit of an elevation
difference between Las Vegas, Nevada and Laramie, Wyoming. Yes, and
I'm i I'm root for Dan Mullen, so I'm not
actually looking if.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
They win that game, bro, that's gonna be a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
I agree with you because it is. Again, this is
not a place where you want to have to play
college football. So shout out to Dan Mullen. Best of luck.
Laramie is the worst.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
Oh yeah, and oh that. The other two things I
was looking for too is cal Duke. I want to
see Vinca versus Jared Kwee, Sagapoy and Telly. Now he's
slowed down in the last couple of weeks. He's come
back down to earth but winning t pass though. You
got that game winner. Yep, that was nice, So I

(01:17:38):
like that. And then also I'm excited for this Texas
Florida game. I want to see. I have no idea
what's going to happen in that game. No idea. We
got two quarterbacks who are not playing at their best
right now. Florida's trying not to get their head coach fired.
He's trying not to get fired, but he won't give

(01:17:58):
up play calling duties. And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
So let's see looking forward to Texas, Florida. And I
want to ask you this question. Did you watch squid
Game on Netflix and like find it entertaining?

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
It wasn't like, it wasn't like ominous and dark and
gave you bad dreams or anything. It was just fun
to watch.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Okay, then that's why you're looking forward to a game
that could end with a quarterback getting run out of
town and shaming his family's name, and or a man
getting fired after being in hell in Kateesville for the
last three years. And you're like, it sounds fun. I'm
looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Oh yeah, dude, dude, I look forward to the catastrophees.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Oh man, that's one of those ones where I'm watching
with the crack in the hands.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Oh no, no, I'm watching, dude. I watch postgame press conferences.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
That's so funny. So that Dan Katz says that from
a barstool, big Cat. He says, anytime the Packers lose,
he taps into Green Bay Radio still listen to callers.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Dude, that that is me. I watched dude, So I
watched Sark after they lost to Ohio State, saw him,
watched him after you know Arts didn't play well. Watched
Billy Napier. We've watched you know, James Franklin, Lincoln, Riley,

(01:19:24):
Kirby Smart. Oh I watch and this started with me
with House of Highlights. With the NBA playoffs. I love watching,
Oh God, post games of the of the players after
NBA losses. That's why, honestly, that's why I don't like
James Harten, because after he loses the last game of
the season, he just beils on the media thing and

(01:19:46):
takes his fine. That's the thing that makes me probably
the most mad about him, Like, go up there and
face the music.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
I thought we were going to get through College Football
Show without mentioning James Harden, but he did attend to
Arizona State, Texas Christian So shout out to five the
brand ambassador of your your favorite shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
Yep, all right, you guys. I'm George Reiser, He's Ralph Amon.
