Introduction and Emceeing Adventures
00:00:02
Speaker
What's good everybody? Welcome in to another episode of the Power 2 Podcast. I'm your host, Jordan. And I'm here with our co-host for the time, because she may be a famous announcer somewhere shortly and leave us hanging.
00:00:19
Speaker
Oh my God. You know what? I hope so, honestly. How does it feel to communicate with the little people for again? Oh my gosh, the little people is insane. um Listen, i you know, y'all can say that y'all were there before. Y'all knew me when.
00:00:37
Speaker
Oh, well, when you, for when you said about me, I'd be like, I knew her. We used to podcast together. there That is just not going to happen. it's just That is just not going happen because i'm a tip you I'm a lift as you climb, girl. Like, I can't forget about my partner in crime. Like, hello?
00:00:52
Speaker
See, that's that was that was the right answer. We starting to show up positively. Yes. If I'm eating, you are also eating. What the fuck? Everybody eats. Oh, my gosh. We're 45 seconds in and I've already cursed. Sorry. Sorry.
00:01:05
Speaker
The sign of a positive show. Everybody eats. Oh, my gosh. Love this for Yeah. So we're going to get in and get out because we don't ever do that.
Podcast Dynamics and Commentator's Curse
00:01:15
Speaker
So we're going to do it today.
00:01:16
Speaker
There is. This show's going be two hours long now that you said that. I know. and you I really need to stop saying it. It's like the that is that is this show's version of saying I don't want to hit yet, which I also shouldn't be saying this this early in the podcast. yeah and then just like And then we just get smacked around and two hours later, we're like, man.
00:01:34
Speaker
Wow. Where was I? It's the kind like the commentator's curse. If you talk about a player for too long, then they start missing shots. Like you can't. You can't. Anyways, let's get into that let's get into the show. I mean, the reason... Well, I want i do want to share. hasn't missed kick all year. Wide left.
00:01:49
Speaker
Right? Literally. Literally. um Jordan thinks I'm going to be famous because emceed my first halftime show today. um and it was really, really cool.
00:02:00
Speaker
It was a disc dog halftime show. So it wasn't just any old regular situation. i was... um do I was working with with dogs who catch Frisbees. So that was really cool. And I think going to be like a built-in little gig. So I'm really excited about that. um Hopefully going to be announcing some basketball games this summer. So, you know, just...
00:02:21
Speaker
Getting on the path. Getting on the path. There's a reason why I come here and yap with y'all for an hour. That's being generous.
00:02:31
Speaker
ah so I'm trying to reverse the hopping. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is why we yap for 45 minutes. high high and tight high and tight. You know how we do on the Power 2 podcast. Yeah.
00:02:47
Speaker
oh News. There's not a lot of news, but you have a news item ah to sort of wrap up our ah loose combine coverage.
00:02:58
Speaker
um
00:03:01
Speaker
Very loose combine coverage, but we mentioned it. Y'all heard us talk about it. ah Yeah, to wrap up the combine, you have a bit of news that you'd like to discuss. So
Travis Hunter's Dual Ambition
00:03:11
Speaker
what's going on in the news? What you got to say?
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah, they were just talking ah this particular situation to death. And that is the fact that Travis Hunter is coming into the draft prepared to play on both sides of the ball. And during his interviews with the various teams, he implored these people to allow him to play on both sides of the ball, which, as you know, is something that has never been done ah in the NFL, at least in the modern day version of the NFL.
00:03:36
Speaker
um And he is basically saying, like, straight up that he will not be declaring a particular position that he wants to do both in the NFL. So just thought that was interesting um because I think we talked obviously for some weeks, for some time during the season of like, which is he going to pick? Is he going to just say, okay, I'm going to declare as a, as a corner. Am I going to declare as a wide receiver? Like, am we talked about what that would look like. And he's like, nope, I'm not doing that.
00:04:00
Speaker
Y'all are going to let me play both sides of the wall. I, think that that is a very beautiful thought. I do not know if that is actually doable.
00:04:14
Speaker
Like. It's not. It's just not. Like, I would love to see him try, though. I'm not gonna lie to you. I would love to see him try. Yeah, I just.
00:04:25
Speaker
i I would love to be wrong. That'd be a history breaking moment. I would love to be wrong. I'd love to see it. I have no ill will towards him, but, um, I just think that every single person who makes it to the NFL is one of the best athletes in the world and the overwhelming majority of them fail.
00:04:47
Speaker
The overwhelming majority of them last less than three years. So to get to stay in the league for three years is a 1% of the 1%.
00:04:58
Speaker
And so I say this to say, he's no matter how good he is, he's going to struggle to stay in the league for three years because everyone struggles. Like everybody. Yeah, like everybody.
00:05:09
Speaker
yeah So then to say that you're going to be in the league for longer than three years and also good at two positions, I just think that's a lot.
00:05:21
Speaker
It's a lofty dream. There are people, i mean i mean, it's just like Reggie Bush wasn't that good in the NFL. And if you would have told somebody that when he was in college, they would have thought you were dumb. Like if you would have said Reggie Bush wasn't going to be a pro football Hall of Famer.
00:05:37
Speaker
You what saying? Like, like Jadavian Clowney has been in the league for a while, but when you watch Jadavian Clowney knock that dude's head off on live TV and you saw him go as the number one pick, if you would have said Jadavian Clowney wasn't going to be a Hall of Famer, would have thought you were crazy. You know I'm saying? Like, it's just like,
00:05:54
Speaker
No, no, I'm sorry. Like this legit low-key could like be your moment. And then after that, like... What are you talking about? It's just like, I like, I like, dude, I would love to see, I would love to be wrong. I would love to be wrong.
00:06:07
Speaker
I don't believe I am. It's just like these NFL players... spend year round working on one position, always getting better, or you're going to get left behind trying to get to that second contract, trying to, you know, deal with the new things and the deep and all this other kinds And then not only that, I think the one of the most underrated things of professional sports, but especially professional football is the mental load. Mm-hmm.
00:06:33
Speaker
Right. Because like even in it's it's not as easy in college. I will be true, truthful. But even in college, sometimes you can be one of the best players and not be smart. And I'm not saying that he's not smart. But don't get me wrong. That's not what I'm saying.
00:06:46
Speaker
I'm not saying that he's not capable of doing this. But even in college, you can be one of the best players and not be smart. You can't really do that in the NFL. And so to say, and the NFL playbooks are different in the wordiness of the calls and you're not getting signals from the whole audience.
00:07:03
Speaker
like ah just I don't believe it. I'm sorry.
NFL Draft Picks and Strategies
00:07:07
Speaker
i would love to be wrong. i think that's dumb. I love that he is willing to say, hey, I actually do want to give it a shot rather than, I guess, picking one over the other. Like, I love that he's coming in and he's saying, like, let me try.
00:07:26
Speaker
you know what I'm saying? But I'm also like, this is going to be a real, this is going to be a first year sort of thing. You might get a snap on one side, a snap on the other. He's not really going to be, there's not, that's not sustainable like for his body either. So it's just like you you're you're not going to be able to you're not gonna be able to to actually do it. but But from an analysis standpoint, like if a team is going to allow him to play both sides of the ball, I think they need to start him on defense.
00:07:50
Speaker
and have him play that side of the ball a majority of the time, let him run a couple routes on offense every now and then, but like primarily use him as a defender. um that's That is my personal opinion. I do think, and I've said this this whole time, I think he's a better defender than he is an offensive player. He's great at both. I want to be clear.
00:08:07
Speaker
This is like, we're splitting hairs, but if they're going to allow him to play both sides of the ball, I feel like they should keep him on defense the majority of the time.
00:08:18
Speaker
Yeah, and if he's okay with being a package player. like um Yeah, literally. yeah i think he could do that. But you can't do it full-time, both sides, like you did in Colorado. Maybe you know something like that. but And then the other thing that I think people that he's not considering, because he doesn't understand the NFL locker room, and maybe I'm wrong for thinking about this, but something that I'm considering...
00:08:39
Speaker
is um the everyone's getting paid in the NFL, like really getting paid. For you to play both sides, you're taking somebody's spot. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. You're not you're not lying. Yeah, that's true.
00:08:52
Speaker
i don't know. I didn't even think about that, but that's, that's very fair. You're basically taking up two spots rather than just your one. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And some people are not going to be feeling that. Um, but Hey, we'll see what happens. i That's just, that's the T that's what's going on in the combine. That's the biggest conversation that was happening was Travis Hunter, um, asking to play both sides of the ball. So, uh,
00:09:14
Speaker
I guess we will see how that goes with whatever team he's going to end up on, which what is most likely either the Browns, the Giants, or Titans, right? Those are the top three.
00:09:25
Speaker
Did just make that up? You didn't make it up.
00:09:31
Speaker
I don't know if it's guaranteed he goes top three. Really? Yeah. As a Heisman winner? Mm-hmm.
00:09:40
Speaker
Well, that is just a hot take that I just cannot dig into right now. I don't know. if I really don't even know if it's a hot take. I don't know if he's guaranteed to go top three. He's guaranteed to go top 10, but I don't think he's guaranteed to go top three.
00:09:55
Speaker
I mean, don't want to talk about it like I'm a like i'm an NFL draft connoisseur because I'm not. um I think he's, I mean, top five at least.
00:10:08
Speaker
I have to look at the picks again. Yeah, yeah. But um I would, in my opinion, and I'm not a draft expert, but I do sort of pay attention to it a lot.
00:10:21
Speaker
If I was guessing, and I don't remember the order, I would say somewhere between oh four and nine was still a great pick i mean like i mean yeah i didn't say go here it's not it's not like you said number 30 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah know and i i would i would lean towards like six or seven i was gonna say somewhere between seven and twelve probably then if we're not if you don't think it's top three then it's somewhere between seven and twelve
00:10:52
Speaker
yeah it just It really depends on the quarterbacks. And it also depends... And again, like maybe we'll do this. maybe like i don't really like doing mock drafts sort of things because it's just so much work. No, I'm bored. No, I don't want to do that. but You're not going to do all the work. But I think it would be interesting to talk about the top 10 picks.
00:11:08
Speaker
Yes. um Yeah, I don't remember the order. We'll get back to this
Quarterback Market Speculations
00:11:14
Speaker
closer to the draft. But I don't think he's going top three. I think I can firmly say he I don't think he's going going to top three. I think...
00:11:21
Speaker
I think Cam Ward goes top three for whatever. Cam Ward, yes. Yes. Abdul Carter goes top three. So Cam, Shadour, Abdul. ah You're pushing Shadour down too?
00:11:38
Speaker
Shador is hard. Shador is hard. So here's the thing. This is not my opinion. A lot of the podcasts that I listen to who do like NFL and do a lot of these things, they don't even know where he's going.
00:11:50
Speaker
Shador being a top three pick is going to just be because he's a quarterback. Well, yeah, what else would the reason be? I'm not trying to be funny. um sorry. thingings The thing is with it is that the i think the thing that people always forget with the draft is that you can be wowed by height, weight, speed.
00:12:11
Speaker
Yeah. and so I can't think there's a chance that a player that people aren't talking about right now goes jumps them just because of like the measurables and the China there's a player that's like right at the tip of my tongue and I can't think of his name right now.
00:12:31
Speaker
um I cannot help you. You know, I don't know. the Yeah, we wo wo we'll talk about it. well we' we We'll dig. We'll dig into it. But yes, what I will say is there is a chance that another defensive lineman comes off top five that pushes one of them down.
00:12:46
Speaker
wherever that is, wherever that is. I can't think the person's name I'm thinking of. And then also depending on where the picks fall, there's a chance that an offensive tackle jumps just because they always need an offensive tackle.
00:12:58
Speaker
And i think some of these, i don't think that these teams are as sold on quarterback as people think they are, especially because there's going be a couple of quarterbacks on the market. which you can decide if you think they're good quarterbacks or not, but one of Justin Fields and Russell Wilson will be on the market.
00:13:16
Speaker
i have a hard time believing that Kirk Cousins isn't going to be on the market. hear Yeah. Yeah. God forbid anyone who hires him, but Aaron Rodgers is technically on the market.
00:13:29
Speaker
um ah What is his name? Sam Darnold will be on the market, I believe. i think that minnesota is gonna not stick with him and so right there if you're the titans if you're the browns if you're the giants and the john the i don't think that the everything that i've seen from the giants is that they've been trying hard for a quarterback.
00:13:51
Speaker
i I don't think the giants want to draft the quarterback. I think the giants are trying to find a quarterback in the market. So the giants in my, I would, I keep saying my opinion. Like I just know these things and not that I just am a sicko and read a bunch of things and listen to a lot of podcasts.
00:14:06
Speaker
And the opinion of the people who do this, that I am repeating on this podcast because I am not an expert in this. It seems as though the giants are going to find a quarterback who has played before, whether that is Justin Fields, you're muted, whether that is Kirk cousins, whether that is Sam Darnold, they wanted Matthew Stafford, but he resigned with the Rams.
00:14:25
Speaker
So I just, I don't, I mean, that's one thing right there. on this yeah like And then the Titans who God knows what they're going to do. If they were smart, they would drop a dual Carter. And the Browns...
00:14:36
Speaker
i
00:14:40
Speaker
I couldn't tell you. I don't care what the Browns are doing, to be honest. Until they get rid of Mr. Massage Me, I could care less either. I don't... I literally do not care. Yeah. yeah I literally do not care.
00:14:51
Speaker
um You have a... Well... We'll go on break.
Matt Ruhle's Decisions and Controversies
00:14:56
Speaker
Let's do that. Yeah, you know, we'll be a professional podcast. We'll pay the bills. We are going to go on to the commercial break and then we'll be right back to talk about a two minute drill and to talk about our power sweep. Our power sweep this week is the top 10 or just 10.
00:15:16
Speaker
Our top five yeah non-conference games. Yeah. i was trying to re I was trying to frame it differently because this time we all picked different games. So it's just like 10 non-conference games to watch.
00:15:29
Speaker
But yeah, it's our top five non-conference games. We're going to talk about that after the break. We'll be right back.
00:15:37
Speaker
What's good, everybody? Welcome back to the PowerTube Podcast. where we are here to talk about the power of having a great voice and making yourself an analyst and not forgetting about your friends. The power of not forgetting about your friends when you make it big. That is what this show is about. The power of friendship. And we always come back to the power of friendship. ah but ah So yeah, so our two minute drill, I just wanted to talk about what i believe is a trend and it hurts my soul because I i vouched for this guy. I was rooting for him.
00:16:18
Speaker
I was i was i was um having conversation with my friend and I was like, man, I don't know why you hate this guy. He's won everywhere he's been. He's turned around all these programs. I think i think he's a guy.
00:16:30
Speaker
And now he's embarrassing me. And that is one Mr. Matt Rule. um He's embarrassing me. He is just...
00:16:40
Speaker
spewing loser energy. Oh God. And it's crazy. I'm so disappointed in what is going on here. Matt rule has just this entire off season has just yelled to the mountaintops that I'm a loser and it just really sucks. And so the first thing that he did a he got rid of his spring game, which is dumb.
00:17:07
Speaker
That's dumb. Right. But what? but with him getting rid of his spring game is he said out of his mouth to the masses where you could hear that he got rid of his spring game because he didn't want other teams to see his players and potentially take them in the spring transfer portal window.
00:17:26
Speaker
I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm sorry. Hold on. Wait. He kind of ate with that. Nope. I'm sorry. He ate with that though. Low key because, because I mean, yes, I can understand how that's losing your energy, but also at the same time, like,
00:17:40
Speaker
I kind of love that. Like, I kind of love being more like, ah secret Because the transfer portal and the way that it operates now is a totally different with's the space. Walking around with a big L on his forehead. Crying. like like but and Now, granted, I'm not saying that I'm behind this idea. I think you should still have a spring game.
00:18:01
Speaker
But I also understand the logic of saying no, because the transfer portal is still open. I don't got time for Oregon to be calling none of my players and offering them $20 million dollars to come play over there rather than playing over here. I'm sorry.
00:18:13
Speaker
ain't with that. I'm not mad at that. i don't think you need to cancel it all together, but um I'm not mad at the logic. I didn't expect you to sign with the loser today. First of all, i do not have an allegiance to losers.
00:18:25
Speaker
Let's start there. get that get that Get that losing out your blood. i think that's I think that's... The logic makes sense. I'm sorry. The logic makes sense. If you're a loser...
00:18:37
Speaker
ah I just personally, i don't want my head coach to go out and say, i don't think I can keep my players. So I need to cancel spring game because I don't, I don't want anyone seeing them. What if they steal them? What if, what if they steal them?
00:18:54
Speaker
That's what that sounds like. have to frame it like that? My players, please. Why did the frame it like that? It also could be like, I'm protecting my products.
Debating Coaching Philosophies
00:19:03
Speaker
Y'all don't get to what's going on. That's what it sounds like. like, please, mean sir. Mr. Moneybags, please. Can I have some more porridge? No, bro. Loser. And this is embarrassing. And then the second thing that he said Now this, I'm not about. I'm sorry. The second thing that he said. i do not agree with this. He basically said, and this is, to be clear, this is after he canceled a Nebraska-Tennessee series.
00:19:30
Speaker
we would We were supposed to get that, and he replaced it with Bowling Green. Bowling Green? Loser. First of all, where the fuck even is Bowling Green? wo come Where even is it? Wait, wait, wait. Where even is it?
00:19:44
Speaker
It's in Ohio.
00:19:48
Speaker
Why is there a place called Bowling Green? There's two of them. There's one in Ohio and one in Kentucky. Oh my gosh. I'm not even going to say what I was going to say. Okay. So get back to this.
00:20:04
Speaker
This loser goes on the podcast. On a podcast. On Urban Meyer's podcast, which... Urban Meyer has a podcast? It's surprisingly decent.
00:20:14
Speaker
it also It also has a... Who is Who Who is the running back? Who is the running back that is on Fox with Urban on the on the show?
00:20:30
Speaker
I don't watch Fox. I don't know. It's not Reggie. Who is on this podcast? um It's an Alabama running back. Oh, I definitely, I'm not an Alabama historian at all. I actually, everything I know about Alabama, I have learned against my will.
00:20:46
Speaker
debate The podcast is actually, oh it is Mark Ingram. It is Mark Ingram. Mark Ingram. ah Mark Ingram's hilarious. okay He's hilarious. I love it because he doesn't code switch.
00:20:59
Speaker
so like Oh, I love when Negroes bring the Negro energy wherever they're at. I live. and I love it. He's really good at it. Don't get me wrong, but he he's really good at it while also switch. He's like, who would it? Yes, I love it. So matt Matt Rule goes on this podcast and essentially says that there is no point in scheduling tough games a non-conference when you already have to play nine nine conference games.
00:21:24
Speaker
and that And then he used Indiana to like back up his thing because they didn't have a tough schedule and they got in. And I'm like, sir, Indiana won eight games. You haven't done that yet. And here's my problem.
00:21:36
Speaker
i thought that they... like i believed that they could do what indiana did like i really thought he was going turn it around yeah he's turned it around everywhere that he's been and even if there is like i will i will acquiesce to the fact that there is some like can see on big words we got our first 20 word i can see the jump to the logic but what i'm saying is as a football coach you're supposed to be a competitor you're supposed to be the competitor you were at and you were trying to turn nebraska around you are trying to ah You are trying to win games. You are trying to make the playoffs.
00:22:10
Speaker
And how do you how did your players and your organization and your fans have faith in you when these are the things that you're thinking and complaining about? And then the last thing that I forgot to put on here ah is- Wait, can I respond to the scheduling type of game thing? Yeah.
00:22:24
Speaker
It's the same thing with Louisiana State University right now with women's basketball. they gi They get crucified all the time because LSU basically plays Episcopal Church of God in Christ School of America, nowhere schools, for all of their out-of-conference play, and then They have all these great decisive wins where they're winning by 20 and 30 points.
00:22:47
Speaker
But then today they just got their asses smacked by Ole Miss and Ole Miss is not ranked and they are. And one of the biggest conversations, especially from an AP poll standpoint, and now of course selection Sunday is coming up.
00:22:58
Speaker
It's like, did LSU have a strong enough schedule to justify them getting into the tournament uh especially now that they're losing games that number one they shouldn't be losing but they're also losing games against other sec opponents and other ranked opponents so it's really looking like uh are y'all actually going to be able to compete when you're you're not winning the games that you're supposed to win against your conference opponents and then you are the only games that you are winning for real is again insert random directional school you know in roanoke so
00:23:33
Speaker
It's the same thing. I don't love that. I agree with you. I think as a coach in general, you're supposed to be competitive and you are supposed to put together the best schedule that is going to prepare your athletes for whatever it is that you were trying to get to.
00:23:45
Speaker
Right.
College Football Competitiveness
00:23:46
Speaker
So, and also to me, this type of logic where like, if you really don't want to schedule tough games and stuff like that, I would never publicly say that.
00:23:56
Speaker
I would just do it. Like Kim Mulkey, Kim Mulkey never addresses it. She just does it. And so that is a great point that I wanted to wrap this up on. But then the last thing is he said that his players had to do workouts as punishment for doing TikToks in the locker room.
00:24:11
Speaker
Do you want recruits? What do you want? Do you, do you want people to come? You hate, you hate your job. like You hate your job. What are we doing here? What are we talking about? Like, please be so serious.
00:24:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:27
Speaker
And it's just, and it's just, this is loser energy in general. But I went, I won't say I went 10 toes, but I went four and a half. I went four and a half toes down for Matt Ruhle. I was excited when he, when he got hired at Nebraska and he's. He said, I had one foot for him. one he's he is embarrassing me.
00:24:49
Speaker
And it's just, that's crazy. Just lose your energy. And I just think you're going hear it more and more You're going to hear it and you're gonna see it. And it's just going to be these little things because like, you have to be the ultimate competitor. And I'm not saying like, like, and I did not want to bring up Ryan Day, but he's not the only one, right? Like, but like Ryan Day will talk about things that he wants to fix right in the sport as most coaches do and should but it never sounds like complaining it's just matter of fact it just sounds like yeah discussion yeah like hey this could be changed but if it isn't i'm gonna do my best and you should you're being paid 10 million dollars i'm sorry in this economy i don't want to don't want to hear a millionaire who gets who gets paid millions dollars to coach football complain
00:25:34
Speaker
how about you ah yes You feel like anybody who's a millionaire should just shut up and be millionaires. Because you said that about the players too. said that about the NFL players. You're like, you're a millionaire. Catch the ball.
00:25:46
Speaker
like Oh, yeah, yeah. Come on, dog. what are you talking about? good night Come on. You're giving very much. You're a millionaire. Shut up. yeah but let's Let's be clear here.
00:25:59
Speaker
It's not shut up and dribble. It's shut up and coach. Yeah. You can talk about societal things. You could talk about the world. You can help people. You can do that. That's not actually, I don't want to hear their opinions on that either, but go ahead.
00:26:11
Speaker
Okay. Especially head football coaches, please. Some of them have decent opinions. I was mainly talking about the athletes. I have not doing the shut up. Oh, I'm not doing the shut up and throw with things, but, but personally, I don't want to hear how you don't like the transfer portal where you get paid millions of dollars to coach. To navigate it. Yeah.
00:26:27
Speaker
yeah You know what? You get paid millions of dollars to navigate it. What are you talking about? I don't want to hear yeah I really don't want to hear that. This is loser energy. You are paid millions of dollars to talk and sound like a loser. And now I have to look at his program and see the games that they lost.
00:26:41
Speaker
And I bet you, you was in the locker room like, damn, we would be winning this game if we weren't doing TikToks. Like, shut the fuck up. It just made me mad. It's just losing energy. losing energy. It's so annoying.
00:26:55
Speaker
i don don't want to play tough games. I'm crying at the way that you are. I'm crying at the way that you're characterizing it. Like that is sending me. Too hard. I'm supposed to coach all 12 games. but um like Shut up.
00:27:12
Speaker
No, that's, that's, that's insane. Like I said, the spring game logic, I can kind of understand. and You will never be able to convince me that, that scheduling quote unquote, easy games or whatever like that.
00:27:23
Speaker
Like, no boo. I want to see. Cause there's also like two meme. At the end of the day, yes, the um the bottom line is that this is a sport. This is a competition. You win a trophy at the end, yada, yada, yada, yay, yay, yay.
00:27:37
Speaker
But this is also a product that is being curated for consumers, okay? This is a business still at the end of the day. Nobody wants to watch boring football games. That is why they revamped the playoffs. They expanded the playoffs. They have all these things where they're trying to create a more interesting experience. Mm-hmm. And you're over here talking about some, I don't want to play hard games, so we're going to go play West Philadelphia born and raised or whatever the school is. Like, that's stupid. I'm sorry. That's so dumb. Like, no.
00:28:10
Speaker
That's crazy. As we transition off of this, I would just like to say...
00:28:16
Speaker
One funny cultural thing is that like I live in Ohio and so like all the schools up here are directional schools like it's west this, it's east that, it's south. And we are in Texas and there's like lot of- It's all like Texas this, Texas that, yeah. I'm like insert directional school and you are like insert epistoposchal son of like, just think it's like one the like a weird like sort of like regional thing because like every school here is western Ohio, eastern Kentucky, western Michigan and everything and you're just like And down here, it's all, I went to Southern Methodist University. it's like Church of God in Christ, Southern Methodist, Episcopal. No, literally, it's the Episcopal. James Church of God in Christ in America under one nation, under God. It's just too much. University.
Previewing Non-Conference Games
00:29:01
Speaker
but yeah yeah yeah we have those too but it's it's not it they don't play football at this level all of ours all of our religious institutions are d3 and it's probably because you it's probably the best honestly it's probably for the best but that's that is funny i didn't even think about that but yes it could well a lot of the schools down here are obviously like have religious ties like a lot of them so yeah um to the topic of the day we are talking about non-conference games because obviously the football schedules uh for 2025 for the 2025 season is is our oh my gosh can i speak english our live so there it is we chose our games and in some beautiful twist of fate we did not choose the same games so love that for the both of us um
00:29:55
Speaker
But yes, um these are mine, at least personally, are in no particular order.
00:30:01
Speaker
My first three are technically in an order. But also, this is why I didn't want to say top games. Like, i was trying to, like, group think it, like, in the middle of the podcast.
00:30:11
Speaker
Like, I don't really necessarily want to feel like they're ranked. So it's just like. no they're not right yeah watch 10 games to you know to keep your eye on these yeah something yeah something like that highlight these on the schedule in the first three weeks we went to the first three weeks and we're just saying like and you know obviously we do this in the power sweep week by week anyways but for the next few weeks we're going to be kind of already just give you guys some games to look out for um we'll talk about some march madness stuff obviously because basketball is basketballing um And then as we continue to get through the summer, we'll start doing our fuller analysis of like each conference and what we think and all of that other stuff. But this is just kind of like, oh my gosh, hey, this matchup is happening and I'm excited about it.
00:30:51
Speaker
Oh God. You are so hood. All right. So. Thank you, 21 Savage. He's the one who does On God all the time, right? He's one of them, yeah. he um That reminds me, I need to listen to 21. I love me some 21. Are you kidding? I love him. need to finish his Club Shay Shay episode. It's two and a half hours, though. They was yapping. I'm sorry.
00:31:16
Speaker
It's one of the longest Club Shay Shays. I'm like, what are they talking about?
Podcast Organization and Cultural Commentary
00:31:22
Speaker
Anyway, and it well, it's also because Shannon at the beginning literally asked him the same question like six times.
00:31:30
Speaker
Like he was like, so you were born in London and you came here. yeah So when you were in London, what do you remember? He was like, I was six. so when you were six and you came here from london do you remember anything about london like do you how do you go back to london he was like i mean i've been back before but i was six like he just kept talking about it and 21 was like nigga i'm from atlanta for real like i'm sorry i don't remember this place
00:31:55
Speaker
yeah that's the way i will say i will say i will say i will say i will say you will say podcast oh they made me feel better about this podcast have you seen have you seen the podcast um oh god it's the podcast is i don't know what it's called i can't remember what it's called but it's a whole bunch of ex and current gang bangers from la on a podcast because every everybody that bangs knows each other and because they all know each other they bring up a lot of artists like they get like ah didn't jim jones a clip of jim jones just go viral from that show
00:32:28
Speaker
I haven't seen a couple of three months, but it wouldn't surprise me. but like There's a clip of him going viral talking about how his gang affiliation was something that was lucrative to him. And that's why he continued to rap about it because he saw it as like, talking about his gang affiliation was like a moneymaker for him basically was was what was going viral.
00:32:49
Speaker
But anyways, go ahead. Yeah, so, but that podcast, four hours, four hours, and it's crazy, because dudes be late, just be coming on set in the middle of the podcast. It's just it's hilarious, but it's whole bunch of, like, it is, it's a whole bunch of gangbangers, like, on a podcast, but because they all know each other, like, they talk about, like, life and music and stuff like that, and they be getting, like, rap artists and different things like that.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yeah. It's funny, but every episode, like three, four hours, boy I'm just like... I'm not listening to that. Yeah. I'm not listening to that. It's crazy. ah So that makes me feel better about hours because we we max two hours and we cover so much ground.
00:33:31
Speaker
We do. oh And we're very organized. But yes, okay, we didn't sit here and talk about everything what well we just said we was going to talk about. It's Black History Month. you know shout out to Shout out to my mans.

00:34:19
Speaker
so Anyway. the collective side. Just like, oh my God, I just, I can't believe I'm here. But my first game, truly, my first game, and i also i am going to lie to y'all. I don't remember which week it's in. So just bear with me. I think this is week one, but my first game is LSU versus Clemson.
00:34:40
Speaker
Yes. I just like it. I think it's going fun. I almost picked that game. And then I said, i will never pick a game that has Clemson involved. We know. Yes. Yes. You're welcome. Shout out to Kendrick.
00:34:54
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? I just rattling off all of mine or I'm a real hater. Um, i'm No, we can go back and forth. We can go back and forth. I'm a real hate. don't play around. yeah um I got it in my blood. I got it in my blood.
00:35:06
Speaker
ah Not Danny Brown. had Okay. but okay Why are you on your phone? i i was trying to I was trying to find the name of the podcast in case people wanted to listen to a four-hour podcast. I'm sure that our audience is not the same audience. but you're right you right You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. All right. How about that? You're right. Leave me alone.
00:35:24
Speaker
I didn't actually find the name of it. Oh, well then tell us.
Highlighting Non-Conference Matchups
00:35:29
Speaker
it's It's called Back on Fake. Yes. Then that is the same podcast I think that is going viral right now.
00:35:36
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. yeah A mess. Anyways, yes. LSU and Clemson. For sure. my i guess we're just starting at the top. So this is- Sure. No, I'm not. I'm going to start at the bottom. Okay. Mine is Illinois Duke.
00:35:48
Speaker
i but If I remember correctly, that was a really good game last year. um They are sort of kind of in like similar places, but also this is supposed to be a good year for Illinois. And so if Illinois is is you know trying to be that third or fourth Big Ten team that gets into the playoff, they should smack up Duke.
00:36:06
Speaker
Like that should be one of the things where like you should like, if they smack up Duke, it's like, okay. Okay, y'all might be real. If they don't, you never, like, it's one of those things, it's really it's really hard to get a read, right?
00:36:17
Speaker
If they lose, it just is what it is, right? If the game is close, you don't know, like they could have had a bad game because early in the season or them and Duke could just both be good and they both would not, but if they smack them up, I think Duke is good enough to say that if they smack them up, like I'm not predicting at that moment that they're going make the playoffs, but it is an early sign that they may live up to the hype that this is where they're at. Yeah. They brought back a lot of players. And if you are not aware, this is supposed to be in the Illinois year, not saying it's their year as in when the big 10, but it is their, their Indiana. Like, like that is yeah yeah yeah supposed to be their, their year for something like that. So Illinois Duke.
00:36:55
Speaker
I'm not providing that level of analysis for each game. My next one is Georgia Tech and Colorado. I am very interested to see what Colorado looks like without a Shador and Travis. um I also am just interested in Georgia Tech in general. They had some pretty interesting wins last year as far as the competition, who they had. So I think it's going to be just, I think it's also just to be a fun game.
00:37:15
Speaker
So I'm thinking the games where I'm like, as a viewer, like what I enjoy watching it. So I feel you speaking of Colorado, Yes. I bought this fire Colorado sweatshirt.
00:37:27
Speaker
Oh. Yeah. i'm trying I'm trying to be cute on my birthday. I love this for you. Even though you're going to not Colorado. But I love this for you. Yeah, but they have a black head coach. so Period.
00:37:38
Speaker
You know? Honestly, period. It was fire. And I didn't get the Ohio State one because I didn't have the money. And then it sold out because, like, it was fire. Like, the Colorado one is cool. The Ohio State one was crazy. You know what sweatshirt I just need in my life?
00:37:53
Speaker
what And I hope to God I can get one of them. i don't even care what color it is. I need that Asia Wilson satin line sweatshirt. The Nike one. Yeah. I need it. That's going to like $100, but it's going to be worth it. I'm paying it. Yeah, shout out to Asia. I'm paying it. And I don't care if I get it in electric pink, which if I hate pink. I hate the color pink. There's nothing pink about me.
00:38:12
Speaker
If you are being super nosy, yes, there is something pink right here behind me. That is a credential from a game where we were talking about cancer. Okay. I hate love being nosy. at that yes but in general i hate pink so but i'll buy it in pink if that's all the color that's left but if you like sports apparel but also want to look nice soft plug albuquerque and fitch they have a lot of like sports apparel also got a jerry rice shirt And Jerry Rice is my favorite football player.
00:38:42
Speaker
Period. And he's a sigma. Go mob. Yeah, we are. Amen. um you know You know, it's my 30th birthday. I'm trying do a little something something. As I spiral out of this show, I do have something. Never mind.
00:38:53
Speaker
My fourth, my next one is Iowa, Iowa State. And I picked this and this is my statement to say. These games suck, which is why Iowa i was State is on my list. This was hard. Literally. yeah Let's see after the last season where it was banger after so banger after banger.
00:39:14
Speaker
Choices. Non-conference games are just, it's a little, it's a little, it's a little gross. Booty cheekery. but Iowa-Iowa State is one of the better rivalry games. I'm glad they play it every year, and i will be sort of kind of watching Iowa because they got the best quarterback from the FCS level. or oh Yeah, and so he's like, I mean, he's supposed to be really good. He was really good at his level, so we'll see. Maybe Iowa has a quarterback this year.
00:39:40
Speaker
Period. um My next one, and this is actually insane, thinking of you know, how I feel about this particular school, but also back to the original point, you know, I had to pick from literal garbage.
00:39:51
Speaker
So Bama, Florida state ah was one for me just because I think both of these teams have something to prove considering the seasons that they had last year. um Florida state, obviously having a historic downfall, literally historic.
00:40:06
Speaker
And then of course, Bama being in its first year post ah Nick Saban. So both of them are going to have a chip on their shoulder. Both of them are going to come into this game with something to prove. So I'm, excited about that because do think that's a week two matchup maybe that's a week two um it's fairly early so it's you know we're gonna get a good look at kind of where they both are as a second year post I guess like disappointing season if you will so I like that one uh my next one is Notre Dame A&M um yes yes yes I agree I also almost picked that one
00:40:39
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, Notre Dame is Notre Dame. And I have conversations about them maybe repeating as it yeah being as in making a run in the playoffs and being one of the better teams this year.
00:40:51
Speaker
yeah i think you learn a lot by going deep into the playoffs. Texas A&M is a football team like i just feel like they ah you know i feel like there's always hype behind them that they never live up to never i don't understand it i mean they used to be really good i get it but yeah i think that this should be a solid game to watch and even if it's not a good game to watch it's going to be talked about a lot like it's it's a game you should pay attention it will be driven into the ground thank you yeah it may disappoint you but just hope it doesn't
00:41:24
Speaker
Um, my fourth one is, uh, Michigan, Oklahoma. Um, more on the Oklahoma side than anything. Again, I was picking from trash. So again, I'm picking Michigan. Y'all know how feel about Michigan, but I just felt like this might be interesting just considering these two teams and how far they made it and how far that they aspire to make it last season. So it's kind of the a very similar reason to the last one. Like their season obviously wasn't as disappointing as Bama and Florida, but like, Hey,
00:41:55
Speaker
Let's just see. Yeah. my Brent Venables, OU's head coach, is also on the hot seat. so this He needs to make some things happen. so And this is will be interesting on another end for that school because it'll be interesting to see who their quarterback is.
00:42:13
Speaker
OU? I think, yeah, no. Michigan? and Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Are they going to play Mikey Keene, who is their transfer, or are they going to play the freshman, who is suppose is one of the best recruits this year?
00:42:26
Speaker
so i don't care what Michigan does, to be honest. They could put the janitor out there. Truly, truly. I had to pick somebody. Yep. ah number The next one for me is Pitt, West Virginia.
00:42:38
Speaker
This game is being played again. And it's just giving me hope that they're just going to find a way to play this every year. Every year. The backyard brawl should be played every year.
00:42:49
Speaker
And this is going to be the third straight year. I don't know how long the contract's running, but I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know for a fact they've seen these TV numbers. I know they've seen it.
00:43:00
Speaker
I know the last two games have been bangers. They would be out of their mind to not extend this. It's one thing if you bring it back and it sucks. Both games have been crazy.
00:43:13
Speaker
Both games have been fire the last two years. may as well just keep it going. And on top of the fact that it's just a rivalry game you should have no matter what. Period. You have to justify these decisions by the money and the fans and stuff like that. And I literally had people that I know from West Virginia who didn't really like super foul football like that travel from places that they were from or living after graduation to go back to go to that game.
00:43:38
Speaker
like not Like that game didn't get played at all. And their time there because it hadn't been played in a while and that rivalry still persists. So it's just like the game's probably going to be a banger because it was a banger in the last two years. And then also after three years in a row, I hope they just find like,
00:43:55
Speaker
I understand nobody's going anything permanent. Sign a 10-year contract and then just reevaluate it and just do it every 10 years. You know what I'm saying? but Yeah. Outside the fact that WVU is, you know, as close to my heart as West for Virginia. One of your alma maters. One of your mini alma
Anticipating Ohio State vs Texas
00:44:11
Speaker
maters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you, four?
00:44:14
Speaker
Only got three, but it's going be four. You know what i'm saying? but So four, right. Okay. um Pitt West for Virginia. Very excited about that game.
00:44:24
Speaker
purr and then my last one is kansas missouri um i think it's insane that people actually sit call missouri missouri like that's insane um but more so from camp more so to see kansas i kind of got bit by the kansas bug last year so i'm very interested to see like how they're gonna look they obviously won't have devon neal so like what's that gonna look like i don't know anything about missouri i actually don't care i chose it because kansas
00:44:51
Speaker
Fair enough. Kansas did not have the year that they were supposed to have. So, and Missouri did reach the heights that they were supposed to reach. Not some of, this is sort of a trend with yours, but Missouri actually did have a solid season, but like Missouri was supposed to Indiana. I loved using Indiana as a reference.
00:45:05
Speaker
Yes. Because they were. Yeah. Missouri was supposed to be Indiana. mom Okay. Okay. And I won't say anything else about it because I'm going to be talking about this game all off season. Ohio State, Texas.
00:45:17
Speaker
but Oh, I can't wait. That's all I'm saying. That's all saying. I can't wait. I picked that one as well. But then you were like, but I also knew you were going pick it. So i was like, let me just stay away from this. I too feel like out of this entire list, that one is probably the one that I'm the most thrilled about. I i cannot wait.
00:45:34
Speaker
I feel about this game like I felt about Ohio State-Oregon last year. Yes, yes. I know for an absolute fact, for four certain, this is going to be one of the best games of the year.
00:45:46
Speaker
It's i going to be an instant classic. I knew State-Oregon was going to be one of the best games of the year. This is week one. This is going to be one of the best games of the year. Instant classic. It's going to be one of the best games year. You heard it here first. That's going to say because we'll be talking this game all offseason.
00:45:59
Speaker
Yes. Ohio State is the champions. Texas has one game away. Like, oh, all the stories. Two league quarterbacks. Arch Manning versus Julian Sange. The one who was promised.
00:46:11
Speaker
Jeremiah Smith in year two. Yeah, come on, dog. The storylines, the storylines, the storylines. It's to be great. It's going to be great. College game day is definitely going to be at that game. 100% what are we talking about like like yeah yeah like where else are going that air where else are going it's gonna piss everybody off because that get over it that is where they're going that is not what i'm saying and's good it's gonna piss everybody y off because that game is at ohio state which means it's gonna be fox which means the game's gonna be at noon
00:46:43
Speaker
Big noon, here we Big noon, not the little. ah No, seriously, this going to piss everybody off. And oh my God, I think it's going to be so funny that this game is going to be at noon. Just please, Ohio State fans, I know you're listening to this.
00:46:58
Speaker
This game is going to be at noon. Now, if it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure it's home and home. And for those of you who don't know, The TV contract, it belongs to the home league.
00:47:09
Speaker
So for those, so the next year is going to be on ESPN because there'll be in Texas, yeah which which means it'll be at night. Like, ah so like you will get at this as a night game, but I'm telling you now this actually, Oh no, i might be wrong.
00:47:28
Speaker
I may be wrong. Y'all, that's a sentence that you're not here often. i not um So it depends. So it depends on how the the big ten the Big Ten does their draft. And I won't drone on this for a long time.
00:47:41
Speaker
But they do a draft, and each team gets the pick. Fox always gets the first pick. But I don't know if Fox gets, like, if they get, like, the first two or three, and then it works.
00:47:55
Speaker
Or if CBS or NBC gets the second pick. Because I will tell you now, Fox is going to pick Ohio State Michigan one. They pick Ohio State Michigan one every year. All the time, yeah. Every year.
00:48:05
Speaker
Which means if it goes one, two, three, like Fox doesn't get second and third pick. Because like Fox does get priority and they get more games. But if either of the other two get to pick a game, this is going to be the first game.
00:48:17
Speaker
Oh, yeah. So I may have lied to you all. But also just prepare for it to potentially be a noon. yeah Fox is going to whatever it can to get this Just prepare for it to
Final Thoughts and Recommendations
00:48:27
Speaker
potentially be a noon. But that's going to be so much fun. That game is going to be so much fun. I can't wait.
00:48:32
Speaker
I'm excited. um But yeah, those are our non-conference games. Obviously, we don't have dates. We don't have times. yeah We just have dates. um But I'm super excited. And next week, we will be talking ACC.
00:48:46
Speaker
So stay tuned for our ACC picks. to the two minute warning. Oh my gosh. We're doing great. Yeah. i I go first because yours is better.
00:48:59
Speaker
um Thank you. Mine is super quick. I didn't have anything. So I gave a TV show right recommendation, The Night Agent on Amazon. Pretty good show. it's a It's a spy thriller sort of thing. It's like a like it's like it's a spy thriller.
00:49:13
Speaker
Okay. That's what it is. Like Ocean's 8? No, those are not spies. Those are embezzlers. but Yeah, never mind. Sorry. Sorry. well essentially Okay. So like any CIA movie or TV show you've watched?
00:49:29
Speaker
It's like that, except they're not from the CIA. But whatever. It's a spy thriller. There's two seasons and they've already announced the third. if you're one of those people that are like, i hate Netflix because they always cancel, you're going to get at least three seasons of this show. There are two already out. I think they're both good.
00:49:46
Speaker
If you need something else. And I promise you, I won't only have recommendations on Netflix. It's just football season's over. So I'm going through my Netflix watch list. because i write Right, right, right, right, right. So that's kind of where I'm at right now.
00:49:57
Speaker
But The Night Agent, you should watch it. um I just have just one, just a little qualm. My two minute warning is in reference to the craziest thing that I think I've heard in a very, very long time.
00:50:14
Speaker
And that is the way that the Southeastern Conference, yes, I said government name, the way that the Southeastern Conference decides a number one seed in a situation where the teams are for lack of a better term, evenly matched.
00:50:30
Speaker
And this has come up in a in the women's basketball space. Obviously, i'm talking about women's basketball. When am I not talking about women's basketball? But this is coming up in the women's basketball space because... Up until a couple days ago, Texas and South Carolina were on track to both basically be the number one seed in the SEC.
00:50:48
Speaker
And when that happens and they either have – there's ways to do tiebreakers for this, and if there are no ways to break this tie between these two teams for their seeding, the way that they determine it is with a coin flip by the damn commissioner.
00:51:09
Speaker
And this is something that has been a rule. This is something that has been a rule that has been utilized before, but it has never been done for the number one seed. And so...
00:51:22
Speaker
And what what I mean by this is when you have a situation where you, when you have this situation, they determine they determine the tiebreaker in three different ways. Win-loss results of head-to-head competition between the two teams.
00:51:35
Speaker
Win-loss record of the two teams versus the number one seed or proceeding through the seeds until the fourteenth one. Or a coin flip by the commissioner. South Texas, South Texas, South Carolina and Texas split the regular season one on one. They each one, they each beat each other at home.
00:51:51
Speaker
um So that basically takes away those two scenarios that I just said and left them with no choice. But the damn commissioner to flip a coin to determine who the number one, not the two, the three, the four, the five or any of the other, the number one seed was going to, the number one, the first person, first place,
00:52:11
Speaker
me What seat is it? First place. Okay. Not second place. First place. Was determined by the fucking commissioner with a special coin that they had already made. They had a coin made for this with South Carolina on one side and Texas on the other side. And they said, sorry about you hoes.
00:52:31
Speaker
We finna flip this shit. And basically South Carolina won. Okay. South Carolina won the coin toss. That happened in the middle of their game against Ole Miss. And they um they are crowned co-SEC regular season champions.
00:52:49
Speaker
And then the coin flip is to determine who the number one seed is for the conference tournament. And the other thing about that, and I don't want to get too deep into it, but there's also a lot of advantages to being a number one seed in conference tournament versus um not being the versus literally being the number two seed. like It's a difference of like...
00:53:07
Speaker
It's a minute difference when you don't know sports, but when you do know sports, it's a very, very big difference to have a game earlier in the day so you can have more rest before your games the next day versus playing as a number two seed where you don't play until seven o'clock.
00:53:19
Speaker
You know, you've got to recover. You've got to rest. you got to get back to the hotel. You've got to get ready for the next day. There's a lot of elements that go with being a number one seed versus a number two seed. That is not something that should ever be decided by a freaking coin toss.
00:53:36
Speaker
Oh, thank you for coming to my head look talk. That's insane. And it's one of those things where it's like, it's so unfair. It's so unfair to Texas that they lost based on a coin toss. It's so unfair to South Carolina and South Carolina would have lost because yeah they have the same record. They do. They play, they play their asses off this year.
00:53:53
Speaker
They played their asses off this year. And I kept saying, I'm like, I don't know who's going to win the sec out of them too. I have no idea. And then you have to do, or you obviously have to make clearance for LSU. Yeah. Because LSU still could potentially win the SEC too.
00:54:04
Speaker
So it's just like, it was so much parity. It's so much competition. It's so good. I'm so excited. And then you have the audacity to determine the number one seed with a fucking challenge coin. Get out of my face.
00:54:18
Speaker
Do they get a copy of the coin? Do they get to keep one? Like, don't understand. Like y'all went to, don't even know who makes coins, but y'all went to whoever makes coins. And said, here's the here's the logo for South Carolina and here's the logo for Texas because we goofy.
00:54:32
Speaker
And then they wrote, there's a video of the commissioner doing the coin toss on the SEC website. Like this is some clownery. I'm sorry. I'm done. I'm done. That's all. That's all. That's that's awesome that's all.
00:54:44
Speaker
But yes, this is the first time in the SEC where a coin toss has ever been used to determine the number one seed. And Dawn Staley was not so quiet about it in the media ah with how she felt about it. She basically said the entire time that she felt like it was incredibly unfair to both programs.
00:55:01
Speaker
um And then she said she thinks that they should have thought a little further ahead when it came to that. um And they it I mean, like to me, this should prompt a rule change. I'm sorry. This should prompt a rule change.
00:55:13
Speaker
That's crazy. I don't understand how it works necessarily in basketball, but I know there are so many levels you have to go past to get to a coin toss in football.
00:55:25
Speaker
And yeah I just don't think that they really considered it in basketball, which is what Don Staley is complaining about. yeah And I think now that this is over and it's the off season, every single league for every single sport needs to reconsider their tiebreaker rules because they did not really think about that when the conference expanded.
00:55:45
Speaker
Yeah. So that's my cross out for the day. I'm done. Thank you guys so much for listening. Goodbye. I'm kidding. No, for real. Goodbye. Thank you. Bye. You can follow us on titol music Get Defensive Sports Network.
