Speaker 1 (00:09):
On this day back in two thousand and six, do
you know what happened?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Mike h two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Barry Bonds hit his seven hundred and fifteenth home run
during the San Francisco Giants six to three loss to
the Colorado Rockies. Man, you remember when the Colorado Rockies
were good to slip past Babe Ruth and pool behind
Hank Aaron and his long standing record of seven one
hundred and fifty five on this day? How about that?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I thought you were gonna say on this day twenty
six years.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, somewhere around there, but you know the other news
and somebody, somebody's brought this up to me. Before college
football playoffs, we might as well talk about a little
college football here, right, and how we have a twelve
team playoff right now? Correct? Yeah, let's go to sixteen
now that's what we're facing now. The most of us
(00:58):
is a sixteen team model, which would give the big
ten in the SEC four four automatic bids each? Is
that fair? Because I here comes little brother? Is what
you say? Here comes little brother, big club?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What about us? What about us? What about you? Texas?
And know you left you and look what you did
in Arizona State win like they weren't even part of
the conference. Texas techie. No, there's some techy tech fans
out there right now that are upset at me. I
don't care. That's fine, that's fine to say.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's the same notion of when I say that, you
know here here we'll set the record strate as well. Obviously,
you know I call little brother. Uh huh yeah, Dir Cole,
you're sooner. No, no Texas affiliation whatsoever?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
None.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Tell me. What's tell me is Ain and m Cole.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I am gonna move there, go on to the next question,
because my daughter is actually looking at going to I'll
just don't drink the kool aike. I'll try not too.
All right, Oh, look at that breaking news. My youngest
daughter got the presidential award at her school. So we
had a round of the plants for that's Riley. What
(02:11):
is that one for presidential award or I don't know,
I'll figure it out. Probably have to give her twenty bucks.
There you go. Now they don't have to do chores either. Yeah,
how about this, I take it away? No, but okay,
So the biggest takeaway from that sixteen team model, right,
you're talking for automatic bids for the Big ten and SEC.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, is that fair?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You know, I'm not if the Big ten has a
crappy year and so does the SEC, which would never
happen in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
By the way, I'm not on board with this whole
notion of it just seems like the participation award style
to where it's like, hey, you show up and we're
gonna award you this. We're gonna reward you even though
you know, regardless, I'm not on board with Team X
(03:01):
amount of spots.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's why if you're gonna dump money into a conference,
and if you're if these guys are gonna spend money
because the SEC and Big ten they spend money. Yeah,
it's kind of like the way I look at it
this way, and I'm gonna I'm gonna take you behind
the curtain of the Emmy Awards, the lone Star Chapter
Emmy Awards. Have you ever heard of these? Mic? No? Never,
You've never been nominated for an Emmy. I have that
(03:25):
surprise you twice? Yeah, your TV days Yep, Best Director,
there you go, and then Best Photographer. I didn't win here,
I am hey, but you were nominated, so right, But
so these are Emmys, right, and so every year we
would go and we would go and be the same
people will win it. Same people will come and find
(03:45):
out they're paying for it. More money they pay the chapter,
the more nominations they get, the more wins they get,
believe it or not, that's what happens, right. So this
is kind of like how we're going to see the
college football Playoff. Eventually they need to do just a
thirty two team, like, let's have it out, right, because
you just have to get to that point. Obviously, it
(04:06):
worked this year, right, having the home games in the
first rounds, you know, and some teams didn't do so well,
you know, but Ohio State came through and they won
the Natty. This year. The Big Ten takes it from
who they play. Forgot who they played, Notre Dame. Notre Dame.
Notre Dame did extremely well in this and I think,
(04:28):
but when you have these automatic bids, that's gonna make
people angry. So you're gonna get four. The SEC would
get four. So Texas takes up one every year, right
because Texas is going to dominate because of all the
money they have, and then you have four potentially even
more because look at the College Basketball Tournament this year,
(04:50):
sixteen sixteen teams from the SEC got into the tournament.
One of them won it. Look at the softball tournament.
Look how many the SEC teams are in there. In
the College World Series, which, by the way, the Sooners
go for the number five in a row. Texas barely
got in their MIC squeaked by in a three game
(05:10):
series with Clemson. Just so you know, who did.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Y'all lose to your bowl game?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
That's right, who'd you lose in your bowl game? We
had a bowl game? Yeah, we went to a bowl game.
You lost the Navy, oh yeah, yeah, and the Armed
Forces bawl. Yeah, we lost in the last second. Come on,
come on, you're acting like that counts. It doesn't count, Mike.
Those ball games don't count. And that's the other fear
for for anybody that's not in the college football playoff,
(05:37):
because when will these bowl games become something that you
just don't do anymore?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't think with as much revenue as they make,
I don't think they'll. I think we're going to get
to a point to where every team is going to
be in a bowl game. I mean, hell, half of
the teams are as it is.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now, I know you have to win six games to.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Be eligible, but true, but there's.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Probably gonn come a point to where the you know,
highlighter marker Bowl is going to be played by you know,
let's just say Mississippi State this year. Who went to
and ten and Adam still got to go to a bowl? Yeah,
somebody else, because.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I still I want to say that even if you
win a bowl game, you get a championship ring, don't you.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'm sure you get some type of award, surely something.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I mean, And at the end of the day, you
want to go to a bowl game because membery coaches,
we used to fight about that. They'd be barely six wins.
They're like, we deserve a bowl game. Yeah, you know,
because I think it's six six games gets you bowl eligible, correct,
which is what is going to be doing every year.
You know, we got our sixth game winning with with
Bama this year, Bama Bama, you know, but sixteen teams,
(06:49):
I guess, I mean, I think the fear remember it
used to be four, right, yeah, and now it was
twelve this year, yes, okay, and then this will be
the last year it's twelve. Last year's twelve and then
a half that it's going to be sixteen. I believe sixteen.
And is it going to grow after that too? Are
we just trying to see.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I have a feeling where it's gonna grow. We're gonna
get to the point to where with as much again
it goes money and ad revenue that it generates during
we're gonna get to a March Madness style of it's
just gonna be the top twenty five.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It should be. That's the way it should be. If
you make the top twenty five and give you the
two mentions right or get get it rounded out route right,
taking two more or three more, make it a team
of twenty eight. Oh yeah, the tree they got last
place most or whatever, cause it'll be like how it
is for for March Badness. It'll be the play in.
(07:46):
It'll be the play in tournament to get into that
last last whatever ninth seed or whatever it is. So yeah,
I mean in and I have half heartedly joke joked
about this.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Is at what point is it just going to be
the sec the the Big ten, the ACC and Big
twelve just decide to say, you know what, we're going
to separate. For man, we're gonna secede from the NCAA
and it's just going to be this is the National
Championship A and then everybody else you can have your
(08:22):
own little national championship.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think eventually it will be.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I mean it, if you don't join a power conference,
first of all, you're getting washed away, you know, and
you have no choice. And I and I think that
these little conferences right that are around, they're going to
struggle as well. But at the end of the day,
you want to play football in SEC or Big ten
country that that that's that's football, right because even even
(08:46):
in the Big Ten you have the UCLA and USC
joined from the West coast in Oregon. Right, So these
guys were the Pac twelve, which PAC twelve doesn't even
exist anymore. So these little conferences that you think, and
I don't know how much longer the Big twelve is
gonna las tc USED is such a small school, and
so is Baylor. At the end of the day, they
could join smaller conferences.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's the likes of Texas Tech, where are they going
to go? The likes of Oklahoma State, where are they
going to go? Oklahoma State didn't want to follow down
to the SEC obviously, why would they, You know, they
were supposed to win the Big Twelve this year. We
all saw what happened. But coming up next, I want
to get in back into this whole NBA must win
because I just saw some video of a lot of
(09:28):
Knicks fans in Indiana tonight, and we'll see who's going
to win that game tonight. That's all next on the
Nie Ever Show on Ticket seven sixty
