Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Daniel Shirley is a college football editor for The Athletic.
He knows everything about college football. You can't be serious, man,
you cannot be serious. Seriously, It's time for Sureley. You
cannot be serious with Daniel Shirley.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Time to catch up with Daniel Shirley, my good friend
from the Athletic, and he is truly a man of
the people. He is out in the world. Daniel Shirley,
where are you at today?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Man?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I am on West forty second Street in New York City,
just taken into big city for the day.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yes, I know, there's not a forty second Street in Macon,
so I thought you weren't.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
There, Especially not a West ornee is forty second street.
It only goes one way.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
What are you doing on the streets, man?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
We Well, we're having meetings this week at the Athletic again,
which I missed your show a couple of weeks ago
for other meetings, so we love to have meetings. But
we're actually having a college staff meetings this week. So
I'm here meeting with the college staff as a member
of live staff, just kind of talking about, you know,
our strategies and all those kinds of good things. But

(01:24):
I got in this afternoon and didn't really have anything
to do, so I'm gonna go see the Daily Show
this in a little bit. I've always wanted to go
see that show. I love John Stewart, although he won't
be there today, but I'm gonna walk over here and
just take in the city for a little bit and
then go see the show.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's awesome. So if you're going to The Daily Show, Daniel,
they may address the biggest political question of the day
facing America, and that is the legislation you probably heard
about in Ohio being introduced by Representative Josh Williams, who
wants to make it a felony in Ohio to plan
a flag at midfield at Ohio Stadium. Did you hear

(02:03):
about this? What do you think of that?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I did? What do you think I did? I don't
we have like people who are looking for jobs and
people who need food and kids who need better school books.
I mean, isn't there something better to do with your
time than to be doing something silly like that? That's
my I don't like my politicians dipping into my college football.

(02:26):
So let's just let's keep those two things separate.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Daniel is the Hio Sportsmanship Act. Which do you think
we're pandering a little to the book out fans.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think we're pandering a lot. I think if you
look up definitioning the definition of pandering in the dictionary,
that would be thistill that they're trying to get past
in Ohio. I just hate that kind of stuff. I
you know, I know that what politicians do. They're trying
to get votes, and how do they get votes by,
like you said, pandering to people. And that's all this
is about. It's not going to accomplish anything, and it

(03:00):
doesn't do anything of any substance for anybody but to
help him get re elected.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, nobody ever got voted out of office for legislation
that was going to support the home team. You know
that's in my state, your state, Ohio state, whatever, right.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Right, Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, you're not ever going
to lose a vote by saying go team, yeight. I mean,
that's never going to hurt your hurt your chances.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Hey, one more thing in Ohio, they're also trying to
make it against the law to have a college football
game kickoff noon or earlier on Saturday. Basically the big
noon kickoff outlawed in the whole state. How crazy is that?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well, I mean, do you not want to be on
the big news kickoff? I mean, okay, then okay, don't
do it. I mean, what do you think Ryan Day
thinks about that? I I you know, how about let's
get his input on that before you start trying to
pass these stupid bills and laws that don't help anybody. Again,
who are you trying to help when you do something
like that. That's that's what I always look into, like,

(04:03):
what is the motivation for something like that? And yeah,
I mean I guess some people don't like noon kickoffs.
I mean I don't mind them because if I'm in
a noon kickoff, then I can get home by three
by four o'clock and watch other football. That's the way
I feel about it. But you know, I know that
a lot of people think that noon kickoffs are somehow
a piece of disrespect for your team that they're not

(04:26):
playing at primetime that week. I've never looked at it
that way. I love noon kickoffs. I love three thirty kickoffs,
I love eight o'clock kickoffs. I just love kickoffs. So
I just I don't I've never looked at it that
as a sign of disrespect that you're not playing at
primetime one week out of the year.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
And Daniel, this is not Jefferson pilot. You know, with
the three days on the call, you know this is
the world has changed. The early kickoff is not disrespect anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, Well, why did ESPN put Georgia and Clemson at
noon last year? Right? Why put other big games at
noon last year? Because Fox had taken over the noon window.
That's why they did it. And they're trying the ESPN's
trying to take back the noon window. Well that you know,
how do you do that? It's not by having wait
played Boston College. I promise you that. So you have

(05:17):
to find the big names and the big games that
fit into the in the window. And look, whether you
like the Fox Morning Show, the pregame show, or the
the ESPN pre Game Show, whatever you think of those shows,
it is brilliant marketing to say, Okay, there's no good
games on or not. I mean not no good games,
but there's a lack of good games at noon. We

(05:40):
have our show that ends at noon. Yeah, let's kick
off with a great game right after that. That helps
your pregame show. It helps that game, and I think
it's just brilliant by Fox to have done that. And
now ESPN has responded by, you know, trying to load
up their games as well.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, I think that's true. The time frame now, the
time period now, Daniel, that is the dreaded one. Is
that three pm Central game. That's the oh my gosh,
we're on pay per view. You know we're gonna we're
only on ESPN Plus because we're playing ball State or
whatever it is. That, uh, that's the one three pm.
That's like the the dreaded they know nobody's gonna be

(06:17):
watching us.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it used to be like that with three thirty
was the game, right, I mean yeah, two thirty Central
for you guys, three thirty Eastern. I mean I know
growing up, that was the CBS game. It wasn't, yeah,
the SEC on CBS, but I remember, you know, the
CBS theme song comes on and there's Brent Musburger calling
a game, and you knew it was a big game.
So it's a it is a different time with that

(06:41):
three thirty window, and I'm sure at some point that
we'll start loading up great games there again and try
to get that window as well.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, I don't mind that. I don't mind the eleven AM.
I know Alabama got that last year. You know, they
played at Wisconsin, so it was a you know, Fox
had the right to it. So they had the pregame
show there mark Ingram's part of it and all that.
And that was the one week I'm like, okay, let
me buy into the the whole Fox experience leading into
the Alabama game at eleven. It was fine, it was fine.

(07:09):
You know, I was I was gonna watch the game regardless,
but yeah, they hooked me for the whole pre game
and all that.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, and again I don't I mean, Randy, I grew up,
grew up going every week. Clensant home games were at
one o'clock. There was no TV back then, right, Yeah, yeah,
I mean well most of the time. Yeah, there's no
doubt about that. And little city we didn't even have
lights in the stadium until my my junior year of college. Man,

(07:38):
you know ninety well, maybe my senior year in ninety three.
You know, the first game at Clemson, it's crazy. Can
you guess who the quarterback was the first night game
at Clemson for the visiting team?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
He won a Heisman in the early nineties.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Oh man, okay, Doug Flutie.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Charlie Ward.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Charlie Ward in Florida State. Yes, I think I actually
remember that. I wish I had have thought about a game.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, and Clemson had the game one and Charlie Ward
drove them right down the field in the last three
minutes a game to score the winning touchdown and they
won the national championship that year too, and he won
the Heisman.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
So and then took the lights out. Yes, I remember that. Yes,
no more night games, no.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
More night games. And Clinton finished I think they were
six and six that year after they put so much
into that one game and then fell apart losing it
and then just kind of fell apart the rest of
the season. But yeah, I mean it's you know, it's
it's so much fun to think about how different things
are now, right, I mean that you can watch any game.

(08:45):
We were talking about this last week with the college
softball regionals, right, Mercer played in the softball regionals for
the first time ever, and they played at Florida, and
you know, fifteen years ago you had to say, okay,
what happened, you know, But now you could watch it
every minute of every one of those games that you
can get your hands on. So it's a it's definitely

(09:05):
a different time for sports fans, There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know, we've talked about it before, Daniel. I look
at my college football schedule now as I think the
three best time slots of the week, I want one
of the three. I want to be the headliner at
eleven or two thirty or seven, you know, those are
my those are the ones where six thirty whatever, I
want to be the Hey, let me be one of

(09:28):
those three headliner windows is my first priority.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, no doubt. And I mean that's how you get
more attention on your team. That's how you get you know,
recruits paying attention, right, It's all about getting those recruits
to buy in and to care about you know, what
you're doing as a team and a program. And you
know how do you do that? Well, you're on TV
every week and you're playing in front of pack houses

(09:54):
every week. So that's that's definitely a huge part of
all the college football lands.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
And by the way, opening week coming up, you've got
Texas at Ohio State eleven am A that breaks the
law too early, A kickoff and b arch Manning may
be in jail. He may not be able to get
back to Austin. If if they beat Ohio State and
plant the flag. I mean it's like six to twelve
months in jail if you're convicted of this felony. If

(10:21):
it goes I don't think it's going to go through.
But that's eleven am opening week.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
If he if they if they play at eleven o'clock
and he beats the High State and plays the flag,
he may never get out of jail. He may be
in jail the rest of his life.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
That's crazy. But to your point, also, eleven am ABC
is putting on Syracuse and Tennessee from Atlanta. That's both
those games are on early. That's an ABC and a
Fox head to head at eleven o'clock. So yeah, that
windows we do.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
We do a lot of stupid stuff in Georgia, but
we don't pass bills about kickoff time. We don't have problems.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Then the two thirty windows Alabama at Florida State and
then the six thirty is LSU at Clemson. That's what
I was talking about, like, give me one of the
main let me be the main game in one of
the windows. To me, those are the main games in
those three windows.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Right. You don't want to be the Fourcock game on ES, right, Yeah,
that's okay, you know, or the four Cock kickoff on
the ACC network. Well, yeah, you might get hundreds of
eyes watching your game if you're on one of those games.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, you might get that ACC Game of the week
Bill's version. If Jordan Hudson has anything to do with
it with North Carolina players, what do you think Bill's.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Versions stay away from that. Yes, I don't want any
part of that. I'm glad she's not gang dabbo between you.
Let's just say that.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Listen, listen to them. I support love, I support love
whatever whatever's going on there. I support love. Whatever they
want to.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Do, whoever you want to love, and however many times
a day you want to love it, I'm okay with it.
That's as long as it doesn't impact me.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
That does not offend me. Whatever you guys want to do, y'all,
go do it.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
You know, Yeah, I'm going with you one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I don't need to know anything about any of that.
That's all good. If that's a If those two adults
want to do that, that's perfectly fouling me. That's a
that's up to them, but it is noteworthy. I will
say that it's noteworthy. Uh so, hey, what do you
think about your mentioning your album?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Night?

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I got to ask you Clemson in Notre Dame, they
signed a deal to play twelve years in football beginning
in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Jam.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
That is a lot of a confidence that you know
what college football is going to look like going forward
to sign for twelve years against a big time opponent
that I'm still gonna call a out of conference opponent,
even though there's that you know, wonky thing with Notre
Dame in the ACC.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Well. I was talking to Ben about it my sign
and he said, who signs up anything for twelve years
in college sports? Now? That's right, I mean, to your point,
exactly to your point. Why would you sign up for
anything for twelve years because you don't know what anything
is going to be in two years, much less twelve.
But it is Look, I think it's a great deal

(13:05):
for Clemson. Obviously, you get to play Notre Dame every year.
I know Clempson has built up a bit of a
brand the last two decades, but you're still playing Notre
Dame and they're kind of capital inn Capital d now,
So I think that that's a that's a big deal
for Clempson. I think it's a big deal for Notre
Dame too, because they continue to get those kinds of

(13:25):
games on their schedule, and you know, they've had a
good series the last decade. They've played several times in
that in that timeframe. So yeah, I think it's a
good deal. You know, we were kind of talking about
it on our show with like Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Who would you like to see those teams play, you

(13:46):
know in that kind of series if you're a Georgia's
fan or Georgia Tech and you know Georgia Tech obviously,
is I think is Auburn is a good one? Right?
You want you want to play for Auburn for a
while Georgia, you know, maybe it's Ohio State or you
might have said Oklahoma before Oklahoma joined the conference, but
you know maybe maybe uh Michigan or somebody like that

(14:09):
for Georgia. So I think those are randy. I would
much rather see those games than see Clemson playing Furman,
right or Notre Dame. And I know Notre Dame doesn't
play any SCS teams, But I'd much rather see those games.
Even if five years from now both of those teams
are five and five when they play each other, that
still feels like a game that has a little bit

(14:31):
of passat to it, as opposed to, oh, yeah, we've
got FCS power coming to our stadium, you know during
that game.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
You know, it also doesn't hurt that that means every
other year, at least once, if not more, Notre Dame
gets to play a game in the Deep South. You know,
It's it's just this is where a lot of the
talenty is. It doesn't hurt to say, hey, every other
year we're going to be in South Carolina playing a game.
That's that's also pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Right, And again it's what is that? That's marketing, that's branding,
you know, spreading your brand. I mean, Notre Dame is
a brand. It doesn't yeah, need to be spread much,
but it is marketing to say, hey, you know, five
stars from Charlotte. You might not ever make it up
to Notre Dame, but you can make it over to
see us play Clempson very easily, ye, you know, and

(15:18):
and you know, why don't you come watch US play
Clemson in Charlotte. I mean play Clemson and it's two
hours down the road for you. So yeah, there's a
lot of that that can go into that as well.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yep. Also Alabama scheduled to play the Alabama scheduling Notre
Dame and Ohio State, though, like we were talking about,
I don't know that. I don't put a lot of
stock in any of that. We can cancel those just
as quickly as we signed it, I think, But I
do know.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
The Riney is the one which Clinson. Notre Dame feels
different right like we see all the time, Like you
know Georgia's scheduled to play USC in two years in
the mid two twenty thirties, then you say, well is
that game ever gone? Those games ever going to be played?
But the Clinton Notre Dame one feels like, I mean,
it's a twelve year deal. They you know it's it's

(16:03):
going to happen. I don't think halfway through that they're
going to back out of this deal. So I would
like to see more of those games, There's no doubt
about that. More good games. There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
And it's starting in two years, so it's not like
you would back out and then you know it's hard
to get a replacement, you know, just in that short
amount of time. So yeah, I think it's going to happen.
I do think it's gonna I think it's cool. I mean, obviously,
you know you look forward to to play in those games.
You know, Alabama's opener is at Florida State to open
the Season's that's good stuff, Daniel. I don't care if
Florida State, you know, was the worst team in America

(16:35):
last year.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm with you. I'm with you. I mean, Randy, look,
I just remember Alabama and Penn State playing all the
time when I was growing up, right, And I say
all the time. I mean whether they played three times
in the eighties or whatever it was, but that became
a scene. You know, Oh, Alabama's playing Penn State. I'm
going to watch that. And I'm living in South Carolina.
I don't know that much about either one of them,
and you know, when I'm thirteen or fourteen years old.

(16:59):
So yeah, I think those kinds of games, even if
the teams fall off, and you know, teams are going
to fall off from time to time, but even if
that happens, those games still draw your attention because of
the brands of the teams.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
A lot of people listening to us right now, Daniel
have a you don't have a Daniel Moore painting of
the late field goal block for Alabama to beat Penn
State or Bobby Humphrey running wild against the Nittany Lions.
So that's still one of those is like, you know,
if you were growing up in the in the eighties,
you're like, oh, yeah, Penn State Alabama, that was good times.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
You remember every second of that game, right. You might
not be able to remember what you had for lunch
yesterday morning, but you were a afternoon, but you remember
what happened in nineteen seventy eight between Penn State and
Alabama for sure, at least I do. Maybe that says
more about me than it does anybody else.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
No, that's a that's definitely true. Yeah, definitely true. Also
the goal line stand Alabama beat Penn State and the
Sugar Bowl, but that was that wasn't the regular season
series that came later. But yeah, you're right about that.
Daniel Shirley, college football editor for The Athletic and other
stuff as well. Now for The Athletic, which Daniel that
brings me to my uh Daniel Shirley trivia question. Here
are you ready?

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:07):
No? So it's a four part answer. A regular person
will get one of the four, a good sports fan
will get two, and somebody who knows everything about college
athletics will get three or four. That's you.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Is this like cash cab can I.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
On the spring cash cab, Daniel? If you pass somebody
in Manhattan who knows more about college football than you,
then we've got the wrong guess. I don't think anybody
you can see right now knows more than you.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I need to turn my badge, hend. It's a New
York Times. When I go to my meeting tomorrow and
you stay here, I don't deserve this anymore.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Hey, does your badge get you into the New York Times?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes? Oh yeah, that's big time.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
That's it, man, that's big time. If if only little
five year old Daniel could see you now going into
the New York Times as an employee, How crazy is that?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's why it is wild's there's definitely a surreal feeling
to walking into that building. Hey, knowing that soon as
I employee of the New York Times.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
That's crazy. I was talking last week to my friend
I've in Mazel, you know who is now on the
college football selection committee, And I was like, I have
no offense here, but you're on the selection committee. That
ain't right. I mean you're not supposed to be, you
know what I mean? Like we're friends, I mean I
know you. You're not supposed to be on the selection committee.
What are we doing? And he's like, yeah, I know,

(19:29):
but they asked me, so I'm doing it. I mean,
like it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, It's like, I'm not supposed to know somebody who's
on the selection committee for the college football playoffs. I
know that's not supposed to work out that way.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
And I know he's qualified. I know he's smart, you know,
no doubt.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
So there's it's not anybody anybody more qualified in the
country than.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Him, No, But at the same time, he's not supposed
to be on it, you know what I mean. So
just like, you're qualified, but you're not supposed to be
printing into the New York Times. What are you doing?
You're an impostor. Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I try telling them that every time I go in there,
and they don't want to listen to me.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Okay, are you ready here? We go four part question. Okay,
this year the one we are currently in. There are
four teams that finish the regular season in the top
twenty five in football, baseball, and basketball. We can now
do this because you know it's the current top twenty
five for baseball. But finished four year yes, yes, finished
in football in the top twenty five, finished in basketball

(20:26):
in the top twenty five, and finished the regular season
of baseball in the top twenty five. There are four
such teams that did this. How many do you believe
you can get without missing?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, I think, Mama, maa matter is one of them.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
The Clemson Tigers are one of the four. You're rolling.
You're now as smart as that person with purple hair
across the street.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
All right, you just walked bind. I was gonna ask
it on that one.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
All right, you got one. You got one. The purple
hair reminded you of Clemson? Right, that did it?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
All right? You got one on her purse. I didn't
know what was going on. Oh and I just won't
right by the Daily Show place, so I've got to
turn around and go back there. So there's four teams.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
You got one, man, these are all There's no like uh,
they're all power forward. There's not like a liberty in
here or you know, it's nothing like that. It's it's
all it's all big time.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
But you've got to be good in baseball. That's the
that's the sneaky part is you've got to be good
in baseball.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
All these are that's where yes, yeah, all these are.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, you've also got to be good in basketball. Can
be thirtieth in basketball.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
That's right. I'll give you a slight clue here. None
of them made the final four in basketball. None made
the final four in basketball, though they were obviously all
good in basketball, None made the final four.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, I'm trying to thake here.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
No, here we go. None of them made the final
four in football, though they're all really really good.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
So it's not Texas.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
It's not Texas. No, nope, not Texas.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I was thinking it might be Texas. Texas didn't basketball
let them down? Yeah, basketball let Texas down.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
So there's I mean, it's gotta be it. It's got
to be SEC teams.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Right, a couple of SEC's. Yep. So Florida not Florida, No,
not Florida. Okay, no, yeah, football, they weren't that good.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Florida. Football let them down.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yes, absolutely, football let them down.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
It's not it's not Georgia because Georgia's basketball wasn't the
top twenty five teams.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Georgia is terrible in basketball, even.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
