Opening Scene and Podcast Introduction

Speaker
Also, they did it multiple times, so like it all happened. like They run out, everyone boos them, and then they're like, okay, let's do it again. like They need to do another take. They did it three times, I believe. They kept going back in the tunnel and running out, and we kept booing them. and Then I was like, Kirby told us to be loud, we're getting tired. like We're booing so much at halftime, we're getting more now. Kirby's going to be upset.

Speaker
Now, let's join the conversation in progress. We're back. We're back just as we predicted. just as we predicted. Uh, I don't know that this team is ever going to cover the spread. ah but Yeah. Yeah. Um, I did.
Analyzing Georgia's Performance
00:01:10
Speaker
I picked Georgia's score, right? I just, uh, I got Mississippi's dates wrong. So that's my, my claim to fame on this game. I did have a, I had 41 to 10, you had 43 to 14, 41 to 31. Um, yeah.
00:01:24
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's just, ah I think ah you you shared a, yeah you shared a post by Cole, Cole cubic or whatever. Yeah. um Where it was basically talking about like, you know,
00:01:40
Speaker
take the win and move on basically. yeah yeah i feel like I feel like every UGA fan needs to accept and absorb. ah We won an SEC game at home against they an opponent that that counts in the rankings. That's all that we really need to worry about. It doesn't matter where they're ranked, it doesn't matter Any of these other things, like there were signs of there were signs that the coaching staff are making some of the changes that we've been looking for and that we've been calling for. yep There are signs that um some of the players that we've wanted to step up are stepping up. um
00:02:19
Speaker
there are definitely signs that there are flaws you know i think that um tony tony waller from waiting since last saturday kind of put it best like this is a good this is a good team it's not a great team um i think at this point at this point six games into the season we should all pretty much get used to that this is how it's going to go. um we're go like This game never felt like it was in doubt, man. No, it wasn't. And I haven't looked back at the, i' I'm sure the win probability shows that like yeah ESPN, I guess, I would assume felt the same way. What I said to
00:02:58
Speaker
When it was three to three, it was a 92% win probability. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was the lowest I'd ever got. Yeah. Yeah. And what I, what I said to our crew, uh, walking out of stadium was the, the only thing that's been consistent about this Georgia team is inconsistency. So that's going to have feel right now. Like we've seen great things. We've seen bad things. So I think that that tracks to me, like, you know, you're either elite or you're not, as Kirby said, I would say right now.
00:03:25
Speaker
This team isn't elite, but I'm not sure there's an elite team in college football. I guess we may find out next weekend, but we're not here to talk about that just yet. Yeah. I don't think that, uh, I don't think that anybody's elite right now. Um, you're either, what I would say is you're either elite or you haven't played anybody. Yeah.
00:03:45
Speaker
Uh, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Uh,
Game Day Experiences in Athens
00:03:49
Speaker
all right. Well, I, mean I mentioned to my crew, we did, um, yeah, we, we, we made it down to Athens again. Um, Kim and Lily and I did it. It was very, it was different in that, cause we drove down the day of, you know, so we did drive down Saturday morning.
00:04:02
Speaker
Um, so long drive in, but thankful to be able to just stop in my parents house, drop the dogs off and we pretty much, you know, headed in, um, to the game. Uh, we're still able to hit the tailgates apologies, uh, to hug dog. Uh, we did not make it my hug dogs cause we got, uh, so caught up watching the Bama game, um, at Morris hall that.
00:04:25
Speaker
We just watched the whole end of that game that we went to the game. um But it was a good time though. um Kim's middle school continues to represent. um She had another friend who was in town. She came by Morris Hall. ah So that was fun. um Saw Daniel from locked on in speakeasy sports. He was in town with his son. Got to hang out with them at Morris Hall. So that was a lot of fun. and then ah Coach Hayes came coachsh hayes was hit was there, tailgated, and then he sat with us. um So that was also that was also a good time. um And he got to meet the Bubba Hader that sits ah relatively near us. And that was pretty funny. Are you guys any Craig? He got to experience. It wasn't Craig. It was not Craig. I guess he didn't so much meet him as he he got to yeah get the experience. He got the full Wood Clan experience. Although, I will tell you what, i was say but we were well behaved. We were well behaved. There was no conversations about it or anything, just kind of like eye rolling and such. so That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, man, it was a beautiful day. ah it It was one of those days where like, um I mean, I know you know this, like just the way the weather was in Georgia on Saturday, it was like chilly in the morning.
00:05:42
Speaker
And so I was like, do I wear pants? Do I wear shorts? Um, and so ultimately I just followed my dad's lead and my dad wore shorts. And so I was wearing shorts, but I was so cold. I was like, I brought pants cause I started banging. Um, so I had a change, but I didn't, I, I stayed, stayed true to, uh, when I posted it in my Friday Fitbit. Once you get, once you get a few bourbons in you, I think that you can tolerate just about any, any temperature. Yeah. And it wasn't cold at all. And I guess I kept being like, what about like Kentucky swirling wins? But that was like a late game. So it didn't matter. It was fine.
00:06:12
Speaker
I know dude, this past weekend was brutal. Like i I remember like, um, so you guys, so you guys did, um, you guys did the the football thing and we did, um, all of the other things, all yeah um, and it was, it was hot. It was, it was definitely, it was definitely warm.
00:06:34
Speaker
Yeah, it got by, you know, by kickoff, it was, it was pretty hot. So definitely was glad I did, I stuck with the shorts. So, uh, my dad talked some sense into me. Yeah. I can, I definitely experienced the, the, chi the early morning chilliness, uh, the next morning, cause I had to be, and we had to be in a Woodstock at 7 AM the next day. So, um,
00:06:59
Speaker
Yeah, ah it it was definitely chilly. We were walking around, you can actually like see your breath and stuff. I was like, oh, yeah, that means that it's about to get cold. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. Baseball pullover weather's probably around the corner. A little nice quarter zip. We're getting closer to that. Just not quite there yet. Yeah. we had We had the first fire on the on the neighborhood street and so here this weekend too. Saturday night I went over to my buddy Kyle's and we we were partaking in the and some of the Burmans. Nice. Nice. Yeah. We had the Burmans Friday night at my buddy's ah birthday party. So it was a good time.
00:07:38
Speaker
Good time. Everything worked out. yeah We had a good weekend. Yeah. Yeah. I smoked a pork loin. Um, first time I'd ever done that, which, uh, which turned out nice. Sweet. Yeah, those are good. They're not too hard to do either. Yeah. A couple hours. yeah Yeah. I was actually surprised at how quickly it cooked. Yeah. Much, much quicker than a shoulder. So we're both. Yeah. Way faster. Yeah. Nice. That's awesome. Um, I got to say, I, something I had, I had meant to, I can't remember if I texted you this or not, but, uh, I know how much you love like watching, um, film studies and film
Coach Hayes' Commentary
00:08:14
Speaker
reviews. He, he would eat up sitting next to Cochise in the stadium in our seats.
00:08:19
Speaker
I'm like super bummed that I've missed him two weeks in a row now. It was amazing. It was like having Coach A's huddle. I mean, it was, but it was like being in the episode with him. It was amazing. Like first play, like we lined up and he was like, all right, we're in chips lucky. I was like, this is incredible.
00:08:39
Speaker
hello It was really funny. So i I would have probably, I would have probably been asking him a bunch of questions. Oh, I totally did. i totally did We had great conversation. Like there was one point where he said something. I was like, I was like, explain that to me and he did. And it was like, Oh God, this is so great. So we, we had a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun. It was a good day, man. ah time Good times. Good times. Coach A seems, it it seems like good people.
00:08:59
Speaker
He is. He is for sure. 51 to 7 GATA stop by. ah He got introduced them. That was good. Glad ah he is doing well. I know he he wasn't able to make it up to the last game after hurricane impacts. um And then Coach Trill Bill. I was going to say, did you get a double coach? Got a double coach. In fact, did. Got that going. ah Coach Trill brought his girlfriend, ah so got to meet her at the tailgate and at the game as well. so Overall, great day. Great day. A lot of fun. Coach looks good in the polo. He busted out the fancy. He busted out the fancy outfit for the date night. He did. He did. That's right. That's right. Epic. Epic. Was he barking at small children? I didn't see any of that. He was on good behavior. He was on big behavior. He was definitely on good behavior. Oh, man. Actually, you know what? A hilarious thing. B. Dizzle came up to me at the Dougie. He's like, Jim, I didn't realize Lou was your dad. I was like, what?
00:09:57
Speaker
it's funny i think he's i he's he must have he must have been messing with you that was so good it was good He's like, someone said that. And then I looked at him and then looked at you and I was like, Oh yeah. and uh in his defense in his defense he has a lot of uh he has a lot of a lot of beers well and he's also got all the parental jokes going on on his side on the twitter side so understandable he does all right i guess we can talk about this game i haven't gotten that i haven't gotten to a game yet um i'm definitely i'm definitely jonesing for it although we're not going to be when when's the knife home game in november or something
00:10:34
Speaker
you meet you Well, I mean, you haven't made it to a conference game. You made it to a game. That's true. I did go to the Tennessee Tech. um But yeah, I mean, I haven't made it to the conference. That was a wild thing when we were when we're leaving the PA announcer. ah He's like, Siever went back in five weeks. I was like, oh my gosh. like When you say it that we we say it that way, there our schedule is so weird. um But yeah. OK. Not only is it weird, it's it's historic. Yeah, it's yeah. It's it's it's absolutely brutal.
00:11:01
Speaker
and Yeah. First time ever that we've played ah what top five team has played, like how many different ah opponents in the top five on the road? Yeah. I saw some, I saw some kind of crazy stat about that this let's see this evening that people were tweeting about.
00:11:19
Speaker
Gotcha. Yeah. I don't even know what it is exactly, but I do know it's, I saw it too. It was, but yeah, man, having a five week stretch where you're not at home in the middle of season is crazy to me, but yeah, especially on like the best, the best weather, the best weather period. You're like, yeah, seriously. well And by the time we get back home, it's going to be cold. Yeah, seriously. Exactly. Yeah. and Thanks.
00:11:42
Speaker
All right.
Carson Beck's Key Plays
00:11:43
Speaker
ah What? um So I, um you know, were was mainly I haven't totally fully rewatched the game, but although I've rewatched most of it, um I guess, I don't know, I and I've had some back and forth with this with some folks like this was not the game to get mad at Bobo about. I'll say that it was like for the you know, for a guy behind me and other people. Carson Beck, you know, like he threw for the third most yards passing in a single game in Georgia history.
00:12:13
Speaker
Um, so pretty impressive, uh, day for him and the offense could have done without the second pick for sure. Um, the first pick, I think kind of flu key tip drill kind of situation, um, which definitely kind of took the sales, took a little bit of the energy out of the building. I've ever already got loud again. Um,
00:12:32
Speaker
But overall with that, you know, good day for the offense. 41 points. Yeah. I mean, the offense stepped up. I mean, Carson Beck had what 500 and something yards of offense and had, had, had some pretty, pretty big, big drops that, uh, contributed to his, uh, second leading, second leading most yards lost due to drops in FBS. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:58
Speaker
I mean, that that that is definitely a metric that I would prefer to not be high up on the on the rankings on for sure. I mean, he's lost 197 yards on drops. Against FBS opponents, too. Against FBS opponents, yeah. Which, I guess, was that like war games um four Four or five games out of the six. It would be five. Yeah, five is. I think Tennessee Tech was the only non-FBS. I mean, it's like, what, like 30, 40 yards per game, basically?
00:13:28
Speaker
I was told there would be no math, but that sounds right.
00:13:33
Speaker
Yeah, um anyway, that's that's another tweet that I've seen making the rounds too. um and it And it definitely tracks, like holy cow. I think the one the the one the one that everybody talks about, like, you know, Arian Smith, like, oh man, why did he, I think that Coach Hayes, you know, posted one of his little analysis is the analyses where he's basically said he was like lip reading Kirby, where it was like, you know, why did he break open so deep?
00:14:02
Speaker
Yeah, I saw that. um And instead of instead of catching the ball, like he you know was reaching at his knees kind of thing. um That was was probably among those you know on on some of the other Ariane Smith drops from from deep balls. But like the biggest one was the Dominic Lovett drop where you know, coaches put like side by side, like these are the same plays that Monken was calling. And it was like, this is the play when Monken had it and like ah how how it transpired. And then he showed the game from Mississippi State. And it was like some of the same plays.
00:14:37
Speaker
And you can see one of the plays that we had was, like I think it was like an SEC Championship play or something like that, where you know we basically ran, I don't know what the play is called, like a tunnel screen or something like that. um But anyway, like we threw it outside and the wide receiver cut inside and and ran in.
00:14:58
Speaker
Um, Dominic love it. First of all, drops the ball on one and then takes the wrong route on another one. And if he cut inside, it would have been a much bigger game, possibly a touchdown. And we've seen that like transpire the entirety of the season, whether it be drops someone's room in the wrong route. Um,
00:15:18
Speaker
if someone did this then it would have been that you know that kind of thing has been going on all season long and like i guess that you know i'll play devil's advocate on the on the bobo hater you know situate the bobo the bobo brigade which is the negative term um for but the bobo haters um if if you see something like that that's transpiring at some point, it can't just always be on the players. Like, if everybody's doing it, because it's not just Arian, and it's not just Dom, like, at some point, it's got to be on some of the coaching, like, so I don't know, man, like,
00:15:58
Speaker
a lot of drops, a lot of stuff's going on. We've changed. We've turned over staff. I think you've, you've touched on it privately with me. Like, yeah, you're, you're, you're starting to get concerned with the the staff that we've replaced is not as, as, as deep as, as in the past. Uh, maybe we've, we swapped some five stars for some four stars kind of thing in the, in ah in the coaching room, in the coaching world. Yeah. yeah Anyway. Um,
00:16:23
Speaker
I don't know. like The inconsistencies, the one consistency is that we're inconsistent. like yeah that's That's getting tiresome. It is getting frustrating. I think it also speaks to how spoiled we are as a fan base that got to this point where it's like, oh, yeah, here we go first and 10 from the 20. All right, 80 yards down the field. We're going to march every single time. It just doesn't always work that way. But um that's kind of what we've grown to expect.
00:16:50
Speaker
um Although I think that there's probably an argument and to be made based on everything that we've seen thus far that we should probably do go for it on fourth down every time now. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we were like 90% Yeah, yeah I don't know. All I gotta say is we've we've been wanting Anthony Evans in the game. He's the leading rusher. um yeah We wanted Lawson Lucky in the game. He was targeted a bunch. um London Humphries, I think has been targeted five times this season and he's caught four passes. yeah probably Probably should figure out a way to get that kid the ball.
00:17:30
Speaker
um let's see what else um we saw i i was gonna say that we saw ellis robinson get in on the defensive side too that was another thing like yeah maybe maybe we should play some of these young kids that are like otherworldly talents that were highly recruited Yeah, I mean, I, so I hate, um, something that Jeff Dantzler pointed out, like that Branson Robinson is he's from mrs he's from Mississippi. Uh, so him getting to score a touchdown against, you know, a home state team was, I'm sure it was cool for him. Um, and then, you know, when he went down, it didn't look good when it happened. I had a bad feeling. Um, so hopefully he's okay. I haven't heard much of an update coming out of that, but, um,
00:18:18
Speaker
You know, so that i mean other than that, you know, injury negative, I definitely saw a ton of positives. Um, I think the other thing too, and I know, I know you and Stacy Searles are, you have a rocky relationship, but I will say the past protection was excellent. This game overall, I felt like Carson Beck had like all day to throw.
00:18:37
Speaker
Um, you know, multiple times where he was able to just kind of dance around in the pocket. Um, you know, he had to move around a little bit, but still had all day. Um, you know, led to the nice touchdown to Dylan bell was on a scramble, um, there, you know, where he was able to just keep things moving. Um, there was another one where he did something similar and it was close to being a touchdown. Arian Smith would have been a great catch redove and he ultimately dropped the end zone. That would have been a heck of a catch, but, um,
00:19:04
Speaker
So there was the touchdown to ah Bell. i was I just felt like that was great footwork by Bell. Getting like the toe in and then picking his foot up. cause like I'm not sure exactly how close he was in line, but i I recently saw a catch where it's like, You get your toe in, but then your heel touches, you know, all in one step. And if your heel comes down out of bounds, like that's not a catch. Like if you, if you go toe heel, you're out kind of thing. So, but he like got his toe in and then picked his foot up, which was awesome. So I have a sweet, sweet touchdown catch by Dylan bill. Yeah, I agree. Um, I think it's safe to say that he's making himself, um, he's making himself a candidate just for the unofficially official.
00:19:46
Speaker
Agreed. Agreed. Hmm, we may have to discuss this in the Texas preview. I'm doing my bro Brock Bowers chin stroke here. I believe that there were some questions that might be good segues into it. Okay. Okay. Nice. Um, how about, how about the touchdown that Arian Smith had when the guy like just didn't tackle
Concerns Over Defense and Penalties
00:20:03
Speaker
him? That was wild. That was weird, man. Like even, even the guys, other teammates were like, what the hell? this i He had to have thought he had to have got lost in, you know, like lost where he was in the field. He must, like the only thing I can come up with is that he thought the five yard line was the goal line. That's the only thing I can come up with because it didn't make any sense.
00:20:24
Speaker
But yeah, the safety was like, what are you doing? like Hands up in the air. Yeah, that's crazy. I imagine that that young man is probably running a lot of stadiums this week. Yeah. Yeah. That was brutal. I don't know. I also thought um the ETN, the last touchdown, like that was right in front of us. And like, I thought he got stuffed. I was like, ah, and like I yelled like, ah, they stuffed it. I think everybody, I think everybody thought he got stuck because I was definitely in that vein too. Because, yeah.
00:20:53
Speaker
Yeah, but you know, the bush push is no longer illegal. So it's kind of curious. I will say that, uh, for all the positives, there were definitely still some like negatives that are just, I i guess is kind of part and parcel with what's going on with this offense. Um, you know, we've, we've made the comments that so, and you know, as Carson Becko, so does the Georgia offense.
00:21:15
Speaker
Um, the interception that he threw on the goal line was probably one of the most frustrating passes I think I've ever seen him throw. Um, he's kind of saying something considering the Alabama game. Um,
00:21:30
Speaker
Right. He gets into, he gets into the, like, I guess that like, I mean, prior to the Bama game, I think he hadn't thrown an interception, right? Yeah. Yeah. We had like no turnovers, I think on the season going to that game. So since that's happened, which I guess, you know, we're running into the meat of the season right now or whatever, but like since that's happened, like I feel like he is forcing throws that he doesn't normally do. Um,
00:21:55
Speaker
ah I don't I don't know what it is. Maybe it's lack of confidence. Maybe it's lack of confidence in the receivers. I will say that I think that in that particular play it was another example of I can't say because I don't know that anybody's asked him ask Kirby this or ask anybody this but like it looked like that there was some miscommunication on that particular pass. Yes. Yeah. yeah the positioning, the way that he threw it, the the positioning of, uh, I think it was, it was lucky, right? It was lucky. Yeah. He was the intended receiver. Yeah. The positioning of lucky versus what where Beck threw it to was just not, it didn't make any dang sense. It didn't make any sense why you would throw it there unless someone messed up. And I think that it was lucky because as soon as he threw the interception and like lucky realized that it was an interception, he immediately looked to the sideline like.
00:22:49
Speaker
Did I just, did I just F up? Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. And Carson was kind of gesturing like hands in the air, like, what does happen? So I don't know it. Yeah. If anybody can ask, if anybody can ask them, that would be, that would be wonderful to know. Um, there's just been little, there's just been little things that have happened and you know, new staff, whatever, however you want to phrase it. I mean, some of these mistakes should not be happening. I mean, the drops and things like that. Like these are.
00:23:19
Speaker
I mean, I thought it was an all-SEC wide receiver before he came to Georgia. Ariane Smith is a fifth year senior. um Maybe Lawson Lucky's got some youth on him, but Carson Beck is a senior Heisman level quarterback, allegedly.
00:23:36
Speaker
ah Yeah, you know, you you figure that if he's making mistakes then that's probably not good but and I tend to think that that one was unlucky but um yeah, I mean, there there are mistakes being made all over the field.
00:23:50
Speaker
um Yeah, we've just we've got to like pull it together, you know, like if it is the other thing, like just as a team, I feel like we've yet to see a game where we've truly played like what Jeff Dancer calls complimentary football, you know, like all three phases of the game in sync working together, like defense gets to stop that gets them all back to the offensive scores or what, you know, it's like special teams pins them back with a punt, then defense could stop like all guys. It's just like, it's like one phase is really standing out, you know, kind of thing like, and it's like, even like at a time.
00:24:19
Speaker
You know it's like and like we go through these like waves in in the games of of things being Good and bad this team had I mean it has what it takes like I can you can see the pieces of the puzzle there when it works They just need to do it at a more consistent basis Yeah, and so jamming that one piece that looks like it's supposed to go right there.
00:24:42
Speaker
use your your your puzzle Yeah. That's good. That's good. I yeah like it. This for sure goes right here. No, no, let's use, let's use the piece that's supposed to go there. Yeah. Um, speaking of the three phases, like, uh, special teams continues to be a bright shining spot for, yeah, for this team. Um, the series was it before halftime? If I remember correctly, I had, uh, I had to.
00:25:08
Speaker
I was in the middle of trying to pick up Camden, my youngest, um during during that stretch there. and It was miscommunication on timing, so I had to actually leave twice. But um anyway, ah I was listening to it on the radio, I feel like, where we stormed down the field and kicked a field goal, right?
00:25:30
Speaker
Well, he missed it. He did miss it. So that, that was, that was, uh, payday's first miss of the season, but it was like, it was like a 54. It was huge. It was a 54 yard. He had another good one though, right? Yeah, he did. Yeah. He, yeah. I mean, it was, it wasn't the one that he kicked that was good was, was that his.
00:25:47
Speaker
Did it match a career long or something like that? It may have. I'm not sure. i thought that I thought that I recalled them saying that it was ah maybe that was the one that he missed. that I think it was the mess. yeah he He missed a 55. He made 45 and 32. I know he's made a 50 yarder. He made 50 something against Clemson, I think. yeah and like it had the distance It had the distance. He just pulled it a little bit.
00:26:10
Speaker
A little bit. Um, their kicker, the the first kick they made, um, was nice from where we were sitting. We thought it was no good. Like it looked like it was left and then it like faded or back in, I guess it was a draw. He's a left handed kicker. Um, so that, that one looked interesting.
00:26:27
Speaker
But yeah, and and that whole sequence was close to being that whole complimentary football thing. Like, you know, and in a moment, right? So like you get, you get the pick by KJ, KJ Bolden, get the pick storm down the field right before halftime, you know, go for the field goal. Um, this close, this is so close. Um, but yeah, with you.
00:26:47
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, but it was there. I mean, it wasn't, it was nice to see Kirby, like, you know, I guess that there were probably past in past years, that would be a situation where we would just kind of like kneel it out or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. It was good to see that. we We would have, we would have just kind of been like, okay, let's just take it to halftime. Yeah. It was nice to see them execute a two minute drill that, um, they really seem like that they wanted to, you know, end on.
00:27:15
Speaker
Yeah, agreed. I guess the last thing I'll say about like the Mississippi State defense is I hope number 21 is okay. I don't know if you remember what he it was like on our first touchdown drive, I think. um but i This was something I did rewatch in the replay. I thought mench Matt Stinchcomb said it best that he he tried to call timeout and injured himself. I don't know if you noticed that. So he he totally flopped to get a timeout. oh yeah yeah But like he he called, he he like signaled for timeout and then he just flopped on the ground.
00:27:43
Speaker
And then like in the stadium, they announced timeout Mississippi state, but then like they come back over there like no timeout. They're not charged with timeout because it was an injury. It's like, oh my gosh. But yeah, Matt Stinchcombe said he injured himself trying to call timeout, which I thought was a very well said. He pulled the muscle. Yeah. Crowd didn't like that, which.
00:28:00
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is. and mean georgias Georgia has had that happen in the past too. so oh it's It's just part of the strategically of the game, the way that it way that it's written right now. I personally, just to you know go off on a little bit of a rant here. but I personally think that it's just part of the game and asking referees to decide whether or not someone has heard or not is just ridiculous to me. But yeah, um you know, I think that it's one of those like, if it's a once in a blue moon kind of thing, you know, let it let it go. But
00:28:37
Speaker
When you're laying Kiffin and you had but like, I think they had like 15 stoppages or something like that. Yeah. It's crazy. It's out of control. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. Um, I, to me, this game, like what concerned me walking out of stadium was, was the defense.
00:28:56
Speaker
Um, and it was so close to being like so good.
Impact of Turnovers and Penalties
00:29:00
Speaker
Um, you know, so getting into halftime, they scored 10 points, one, you know, the touchdown on basically a bust. Um, but they got down there and then, uh, we hit the ball, start the second half, March right down, score touchdown. It's 30, 40, 10 early in the third quarter stadium has the stadium, which by the way, I will say.
00:29:23
Speaker
A bit of a tangent, the stadium, I would, I would say the crowd, uh, while I still don't agree with the way Kirby went about it, it did work. Um, the environment was much better. The fans are much louder than Auburn, even with less there. Cause there was some students that never showed up. Um, but it was very loud. And I think that played out with Mississippi state having to call timeout, fall stars, delay games, all that stuff happened. Um, so like I said, as I kind of figured what happened, Kirby got the result he was looking for.
00:29:51
Speaker
Um, I will also say they were debt. People were definitely mad about it. It was definitely a topic of conversation. There's, it was one point where like everyone did get really loud and then like, we didn't get to stop. And I heard another guy like in our section and be like, well, we were loud Kirby and still nothing happened or something like that. And I was like, okay, here we go. Um, so yeah, people would definitely aren't happy about it. But, um, at any rate, you know, that Mississippi state's first drive of the third quarter was really like the turning point of the kind of you You know, like you I agree with you. Like it would never felt like it was in any kind of doubt or anything, but like we gave them life with like they, that touchdown drive that they had to answer our touchdown drive that was extended by penalty twice. So we had like, you know, third and eight or so they get a first down on.
00:30:40
Speaker
a pass interference. Um, and then fast forward, it's third down, uh, stadium super loud. They get a delay game, I believe. So now it's third and even longer crowds going nuts, get a sack, but face mask. Um, I mean, Chaz Chambliss like ripped the quarterback helmet off. Um, uh, it was kind of unlucky, I guess, like, but he like reached back with his left hand or something and yanked it off.
00:31:06
Speaker
So again, there's been there's been a bunch of those, those, those penalties that are happening where they just like, why? Like, yeah. what are we doing we're yeah doing here So, I mean, you know, so we had gotten them out of that. They're going to, you know, getting the ball back and we're up 34 10. Instead, again, we extend the drive-by penalty. They ended up scoring.
00:31:22
Speaker
Then the subsequent drive was what you were talking about earlier, when Beck throws the pick, then they go 80 yards in score and now it's like, okay, well now this is like actually a game. Like what just happened? You know, and we're, it was 34 10. We were sitting there in the stadium talking about how, Oh my gosh, we might actually cover the spread kind of thing. And like the way the game just turned on a dime. And to me, it was turned on a dime by those drive extending penalties. Like we've got, you know, we were talking about the inconsistency. I mean, the penalties are killing us too. Like,
00:31:48
Speaker
You've got to cut down on the penalties. um It's been a big down down thing for this for this team so far this year. Agreed. um So one of those time periods was, let's see, it was third and 11 with two minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter. It was 24-34. Even then,
00:32:12
Speaker
Uh, so it was passing completed, brought fourth down. So even then, you know, the, the prob, the winning probability was 93 and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It never, it never felt like a game. And it you know, they never got it within any closer than 10, you know, in the second half, I don't think, or maybe it was down to seven at some point or something, but Um, yeah, it never felt close, but it was, you know, the game wasn't over. Like we had to still do things, um, where like it felt like we were. Prime to just put them away in the third quarter and kind of to get get to what you wanted to see, which is like kind of stocked in, you know, like all the backups coming in and and we never got there because really, I feel like it was because of that turning point that Mississippi state's first drive of the third quarter really turned it for them. So.
Coaching Adjustments and Strategies
00:32:58
Speaker
i Got to give credit to their freshman quarterback though that kid that kid played really well um he He impressed me. So You know starting on the road only a second start tough environment in Georgia um You play good. Yeah, a good game ah Yeah, it seemed like he was, yeah yeah, he had a good game. And I think that they, in the second half, started kind of picking on one of our weakness weak areas, which is the boundary the boundary corners. yeah we need We need some folks to step up there, and I think that
00:33:30
Speaker
You know, if you're looking for silver linings on, you know, how to look at this game in the context of the rest of the season and the overall seasons, you know, I think that we've started a lot of these guys and in a lot of the positions that we felt like we're going to be places to win. And, you know, just just like what happens in in life, you know, you.
00:33:49
Speaker
on paper have a great resume and you you know you do you're doing the right things, but then one when push comes to shove in the moments where you you got to get the work done, um some people cave and some people don't, you know what I mean? And so yeah I think that seeing Ellis Robinson out there a lot more than we have, I think seeing Anthony Evans out there more than we have, Boston Lucky out there more than we have,
00:34:17
Speaker
Yeah, targeting more targeting those guys more London Humphries obviously getting into the game. Um, I think that they're kind of figuring this out. I think that, um, who did they move around on the offensive line that, that, uh, I think Graham was talking about that they didn't, he didn't see a whole lot of snaps after a certain period. Maybe it was on a defense. I can't remember, but it was defense it was a defense. It was a stack house. We had a lot of backups in the defense. Yeah.
00:34:43
Speaker
Yeah, so they're moving they're moving pieces around. I thought that, you know, if you were ever grading people, I haven't seen the PFF grades or anything like that. I would i would imagine that Ernest Green probably had some, you know, some struggles there because He got bull rushed into the back field a few times. um I don't know. There's definitely like little little pieces here and there that seem like that they're indicative of what's been going on in the broader season since. Yeah.
00:35:11
Speaker
but the coaching staff does seem to be making adjustments. If you're looking for adjustments, like what the heck are we doing? It seems like that they are putting people in that have not had the opportunities. And I think that's a good thing. um It's an indication that they recognize that there's a problem and they're trying to slowly figure it out in games where it's not going to matter too much. So you'd rather be figuring it out and trying things different things out in these kinds of games as opposed to
00:35:43
Speaker
in Alabama or ah Texas. and so yeah i I think it's true to an extent, but I think also some of it, their hand was forced on a couple of them that that you've wanted to see, that we're seeing now. um I mean, it took a suspension for us to see Anthony Evans get that many touches. And then we've got no choice with Nate Frazier at this point, with Branson you know going down. um So for For whatever the reason is, those guys are going to have to be more of a focal point. And, you know, from what we've seen, I feel like they're ready. Like, and I feel like, like I'll say, I feel like you've been right. And it's like, can we just see what happens when we give the ball to Anthony Evans? Um, and what we saw on Saturday, I feel like it looked pretty dang good. I mean, the end around was beautiful. Dude, I mean, like I, I don't know.
00:36:31
Speaker
Anthony Evans is probably the biggest enigma on this entire team. Like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what they've been thinking, but like, dude, ever since that kid started fielding punts at the end of season, like, whoa, where was that? Like, yeah he just, there's there's just something about him that just screams. Give me the damn ball.
00:36:56
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, he's electric. I feel like so. Yeah. um Forgot to talk about this.
Creative Play by Carson Beck
00:37:01
Speaker
um I absolutely loved the play when Beck and Cass Jones shifted and Jones became the quarterback and handed off to Beck, who then faked a reverse and then threw for a first down to Delp, I believe. They'll double brother out. That play was awesome. That was sick. ah And like.
00:37:21
Speaker
I've seen a couple of things like that happening in college football all this year. I've seen some teams doing it with like, let's say, like if you have a running quarterback and then you've got, you know, like an athletic suit, like a Dylan Bell, right? Like someone who played quarterback in high school and it's like doing things like that and having basically two quarterbacks and they shift and then they don't want know what to do. Uh, but I thought that was a cool way to do that with Beck, you know, adding the reverse fake into it as well. That was a nice play. The Boho haters haters, uh, we're all up in the arms about that one.
00:37:49
Speaker
Yeah, that was, that was a fun play. It's probably the right opponent to try that on. Yeah, yeah. um Sorry, I digress. i'm hoping I'm hoping that there are some other plays that they have up their sleeve that they've been holding on to. But, you know, at the end of the day, they got to catch the ball. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:38:09
Speaker
I mean, it also, you know, it also needs to be said that, you know, when you have a wide receiver, that's your leading rusher. It's probably an indication that there's some other problems going on with the running game. Yeah. We we were, I know that we were texting about it earlier that earlier today, the, the questions that I've had for, you know, I consider myself a data oriented person. I'm not a like, let me compile the stats and just figure it out myself kind of person. I just rely on a lot smarter people than I am to you know, quality check my my gut. e um So umve I've been asking Josh a lot about, you know, dog stats. I've been asking him a lot about, you know, the efficiency numbers, like how are we success rate and that kind of stuff, you know, as the season has rolled through. And it seems like that we're having a pretty decent success rate. And then he sent through some numbers and, you know, I don't know if he's going to share these or not. I won't spoil it too much, but
00:39:08
Speaker
He sent some trends and I think that the one glaring item that we've we're we're kind of missing here from an overall efficiency standpoint is the run game. yeah ah Everything about the numbers that statistically are out there is probably how you're feeling as a fan.
00:39:27
Speaker
They're not, they're not, they're definitely not historic like they were in 21 and 22. It feels a lot more like 2017 and that data it bears out so I hope that Josh shares it out because if you look at the numbers like side by side, it seems like that we're much more, we're much more in line with where we were in 2017 from a, you know, success in EPA number.
00:39:50
Speaker
standpoint, ah minus, you know, the run running game, which I would chalk that up to not having Sony, Michelle and Nick Chubb, which you would tend to think would be a problem. yeah But, you know, absent that, we're still doing pretty close. um But that said, it is one of the weaker parts of the game. So I'd like to see that get short up as we as we roll forward. But It's just an indication that if we go back to like 2017, we had a pretty talented roster and we made it to the national championship where we all nearly won it. We missed it by one pass, right? Yeah. yeah um and that's i mean any Any given Saturday, I feel like we have our as good a chance as anybody to beat literally anybody on the field. I watched Ohio State struggle against the really good team, the first good team that they've played all season.
00:40:43
Speaker
yeah ah Literally nothing about Oregon scares me um based on what I saw. um you think Dan Lanning actually had 12 men on the field on purpose. Have you seen that theory? Yes, I did see that theory. that That goes in line with the like goes in line with the the the hurt player thing.
00:41:04
Speaker
um Yeah. And I know that that's something that the wait and since last Saturday guys were talking about and their, and their recap, I hadn't actually seen it, but I heard them talk about it. I was like, Oh man, that sounds like something that they definitely would, would take advantage of. yeah um What surprises me, like if that's your working theory that you have, you have someone come in there and game, game the system by eating clock. Like if that's your working theory,
00:41:30
Speaker
then the the counter to that is, okay, we need to make sure that on the offensive side, especially if we end up playing Oregon in the national championship, which is what John keeps saying over and over again. But if we're ever in that situation, I hope that someone is counting people before the snap and we spike the ball.
00:41:53
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And not run any clock. True. Not run any clock. True. True. That's the counter. That's the counter to that. If that is a strategy that someone is going to employ, which to, to, to that point, like, okay, if, if it was on purpose and you truly were trying to prevent a big play, why stop at 12?
00:42:11
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's where I don't I just I don't know that I I don't buy that it was on purpose for what if you really wanted to do it on purpose you'd like throw 13 men out there like Run someone onto the field as they're snapping the wall kind of thing. Yeah, you know There was an opposite situation in our game where we only had 10 men on the field and we ran on an 11th guy and then like there's mass confusion and everyone was trying to send him back off and We had to call timeout. But anyway, that was frustrating ah Here before I forget let me let me hit coaches stuff really quick um I We've kind of come <unk>ve I've kept chopping um I am now only one pick behind you for the season
00:42:53
Speaker
how much you overcome Uh, I don't know what it was last week, but I went four and four this week. It was a rough week for you. You went two and six on the, on the runners. So, okay. So you pulled two back. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, yeah. So you're 28 and 20 overall and 27, 21. Uh, but you had a, you had a perfect week, uh, in the pickup, uh, games, you went four and oh, I went three and one, uh, the difference being, uh, you had, uh, LSU, uh, coming out on top of as, as you predicted, John at home at night, LSU wins. Uh, so. and so
00:43:24
Speaker
Thanks for coach tracking those. but again Great to see you. Never been against LSU at home. Yeah. yeah think um So yeah, so those those things, I just wanted to get that and then I guess I don't know how much you want to get into these. But one thing, ah actually, just update, I am Kim and Lily and my parents, we've all decided that we're going to make IMDB pages since we were in a Hulu show with Glenn Powell at halftime.
00:43:52
Speaker
um Yeah, i heard I heard everybody talking about that. I haven't seen any videos. like what What happened? i sent you the It may not have gone through. i I attempted to send a video from the stadium. I can resend it.
00:44:04
Speaker
So there was an announcement in the stadium. It was like, they're filming a a show for Hulu. A football team is going to run on the field. Everyone booed them. like it's We're all about to be biker in a show. Now, Chip Towers apparently missed that memo. He use like he tweeted, like everyone's booing a fake football team. There was no announcement. No one knew what was going on. It was like, oh my gosh, Chip. it was ah There were multiple announcements.
00:44:28
Speaker
Also they did it multiple times so like it all happened like they run out everyone boos them and then they're like okay let's do it again like they need to do another take they did it three times I believe they kept going back in the tunnel and running out and we kept doing them and I was like Kirby told us to be loud we're getting tired like we're booing so much at halftime we're getting more now Kirby's gonna be upset like let us let us rest up for half time that should ah That should have been a tweet. That should have been a tweet. So that was a thing. um But like I didn't realize like that it was Glenn Powell. like they were you know you When they they did like a close-up of him on the jumbotron, I guess his character was kind of like, you know it's a tough moment or whatever, and he's kind of surveying the crowd. So they got that shot actually on the jumbotron.
00:45:10
Speaker
I was like, Oh my gosh, that's Glenn Powell. So then Kim's like, you know, in the state and researching it. So it's a TV show based off of the Eli Manning skit, where he dressed up, you know, as a random dude and went to walk on trial at Penn state. So he was a character, his, his, his character's name in that skit was called Chad Powers. And so the show was based off of that Glenn Powell was Chad Powers in this show.
00:45:33
Speaker
That's what that. So the premise, hold on, totally off the rails. Have you ever seen this? Have you seen the email yet? Okay. where Where he dresses up as someone and goes, so my understanding is the premise out as a walk on or whatever. Yes. And my understanding is the premise of this show is this character, Chad powers in this show played by Glenn Powell is like, he's, he's too old to play college. I don't know if it's college or not. Something happens where he like dresses up and pretends to be someone else to get a second chance at football.
00:46:00
Speaker
Okay. I guess. So I remember this concept when it was called Ladybugs. Do you remember that movie? Yeah. I remember Ladybugs. R.I.P. Jonathan Brandis. Jonathan Brandis and Rodney Dangerfield. Great movie of my youth. No telling how many times I've seen it in it. A quintessential 90s movie.
00:46:22
Speaker
I mean, you know, we got I was kind of thinking like the replacements, you know, little Keanu Reeves, Shane Falco, maybe a Shane Falco types of. Yeah. Anyways, it was so random, though, like it it was it was like, Coach Hayes, he heard about it first. He heard someone say something about it. So he he gave us the heads up that it was going to happen. And then like that. So then when they announced was like, oh, this is what you're talking. what Actually, Coach Hayes missed it.
00:46:45
Speaker
You said concessions at halftime, you missed it. It was really funny. But like, yeah, it was wild. And like you know they did announce it, but people were still confused because now they're wondering. So it was funny. I wonder if Glenn Powell enjoyed the enjoyed the Athens scenery.
Celebrity Visits and Game Day Atmosphere
00:47:00
Speaker
um yeah i know Miles Teller was in town not too long ago in Athens. I saw a video of that at some point. It's weird. All the top gun guys. Yeah, I feel like um I feel like Glenn Powell would enjoy himself in in Athens. Yeah. Finest establishment. Right. Right. Right. his His star power would be quite powerful these days amongst the amongst the ladies, the coeds. Yeah, for sure. For sure. I guess think I don't know if he's married or not. I have no idea. Good question. Don't know. um Yeah. But then I guess the other off the rails type topic is the whole um Kirby pushing their quarterback. What do you make of that?
00:47:37
Speaker
ah I think it may be indicative of some some of the the problems that we're having on the defensive side where our our head coach has poor eye discipline.
00:47:48
Speaker
I mean, that's, I mean, Kirby clearly didn't see that kid. But what I will say is if you go back and look at the replays, that kid very clearly knows that he's about to walk into Kirby's path because Kirby is making his way over and his, the quarterbacks I, I positioning should definitely see him coming because he's coming in hot. Yeah. Yeah. True. True. I got it. Kirby is so dialed in on Choo and Glenn human.
00:48:14
Speaker
Sorry, Carter, that that he did not even see it. and like In true Kirby fashion, as soon as he as soon as someone initiates contact, boom. I still, I still can't, I kind of can't, I guess I can, but also can't believe that it happened. Um, I will say, I mean, I feel like he, I feel like he is lucky that there wasn't a flag. I will say that like, I think that there's some stuff going on now. Okay. Let me but flip it around the other way. What if, what if the, what if the ah the quarterback's trying to get back on the field? Cause he's trying to set the ball. Kirby's in his way and he pushes Kirby. You're telling me he doesn't get a flag. I get it. I guarantee you he does like,
00:48:53
Speaker
today The fact that Kirby Kirby's awareness was at zero is kind of wild to me. um I mean, imagine if the quarterback flopped, you know, like, I feel like he's lucky he didn't i mean he flops he reacts, you know, and maybe awareness a little low for the quarterback to he totally should have flopped.
00:49:11
Speaker
He would have made it more obvious can't be pushing a player. I he I feel like he should i'm i'm surprised it happened I think people are are also overacting with to it, but I still feel like like what the heck like, how do you How does that happen? I thought it's kind of wild. I think um, was it I feel like there was a There was a moment in this weekend. and I don't know if it was in another game or not, but one of the There was a play where it was a play where someone got pushed. I think i think it was. I think it was this game. Was it? Was it Michael Williams that got flagged for roughing the passer?
00:49:50
Speaker
Uh, I thought it was, um, I thought it was Kristen Miller, but I could be wrong. We're like, he basically pushed, he basically pushed him. Um, after, after the pass had like just thrown and it was, it was just a little push. I don't know. I don't know who it was. I do. I have not seen the replay of the roughing the passer. All I remember was asking people in the text, like, was it actually roughing the passer? Yeah. That's all I can tell you. I don't know if it was this game or not, but I remember somebody talking about it and it was just a little push. um Oh no, that was the one in the Kentucky game. OK, maybe maybe I could remember which game it was, but I remember something come up this past weekend. I don't remember which game oh this weekend, so you're not even sure if it was Georgia.
00:50:33
Speaker
I'm not sure if it was dr Okay, did I? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure if it was Georgia. But it was it was a situation where someone got pushed, a quarterback got pushed, and they threw a flag for roughing the passer. It was just like, if that's roughing the passer, like, yeah, yeah i I wish i I remember some former players, I don't know if it was George, like, I'm i'm totally fuzzy on one where this was. Maybe I was too deep into the bourbon at that point.
00:50:59
Speaker
um but But something like that came up where it it was something that literally happened in the field of play where a pass was thrown and not too long after that someone got pushed and they through they threw a flag for roughing the passer and it was like, what the hell? Like, what are we doing?
00:51:17
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of like a kind of like the the previous the previous weeks where, you know, ah offensive lineman or someone gets gets flagged for like literally blocking someone on on an interception.
00:51:31
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not a fan of that one. I'm not a fan of any of that stuff. Like, yeah, dude, we we lived, we lived in a, we lived through the, these, these kids are not prepared for the, the life that we led back in the day when Aaron Murray got absolutely blasted. Yeah, seriously. Yeah. That, yeah. How was that not a belly?
00:51:51
Speaker
Yeah but it's a new day in age yeah yeah for sure for sure okay sorry i took us on a couple off the rails paths don know for the record i think i keep hearing people are like something should happen to kirby or whatever like no like i don't i don't get that but Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Move on. I don't know. It's a, it's, it's a big nothing burger. You could look at it in slow mo. It's like, it's like watching, it's like watching the, uh, a VAR or an instant replay situations. Like, yeah. Back into the left, back into the left. Yeah. Like, come on, dude. Like, yeah, for sure. I don't, I don't, I don't even know that that would have been a flag. Like if it had been an actual player.
00:52:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You mean the right. You're probably right. You're probably right. All right. Well, uh, the game, I guess, I guess only the thing, like I said, you went four and oh, I did. I watched a ton of football Saturday night when we got back. Yeah. So Saturday night we had like the clicker. We're just kind of hopping around for all the games.
00:52:58
Speaker
Um, a lot of good endings. Um, basically all those night games had, you had LSU Ole Miss went to overtime, Florida, Tennessee went to overtime, and then Oregon, Ohio State right down to the last second. Um, like literally, I guess with the quarterback sliding as time expired. Uh, so those, those were all like fantastic finishes in relatively close amount of time. So,
00:53:22
Speaker
Uh, got to hop around and watch it. But to me, that's where, like what you were saying earlier, and that's where I feel like I don't know that anyone is truly elite. Like I've, you know, I saw a good football, but I don't know that I saw an elite team in what I was watching. So I feel like this is, this year is kinda is getting me like 2007 vibes. So, um,
00:53:44
Speaker
And that was a crazy year. And I feel like that year of any is probably a good argument for an expanded playoff. um And I'll say what that year at the end of the year, that was that that was a team where you felt like, man, if Georgia was just a playoff, they could beat anybody, you know, so that team really peaked at the end of the season. Now, maybe that's maybe that's where this team's at. We'll see.
00:54:06
Speaker
Maybe, maybe. Um, what did I tell you where, it where it is headed is all the people that are looking for more playoffs are getting really excited because basically what you have is like, I mean, Jim, we may need to dust off the, uh, the tiebreaker scenarios here. Oh yeah. Because at this point, like, you know, Georgia, Georgia beats, Georgia beats Texas. Everybody's got a loss.
00:54:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, and none of us have, not many of us have common opponents. You know what I mean? Like yeah. to top anyway It's going to be, yeah. Year one of this, you know, new sec championship format with the divisions. There's, I feel like there's going to be a tiebreaker.
00:54:48
Speaker
If, if, if for some reason, like Texas were to like get into something because of their performance versus Mississippi state versus ours, and and it comes down to that last touchdown, I'm going to be so pissed. Yeah.
00:55:05
Speaker
Yeah, I know. And that's the kind of thing. Yeah, that's ah technically I guess it's possible. Because it's is isn't that like one of the one of the scenarios is like common opponents. I believe so. I believe so. And it can get into like, it's pretty far down, but it can get into like scoring margin against common opponents, I believe. Exactly. when i remember But remember, the very last thing is a coin flip.
00:55:26
Speaker
It could be worse. He could be. Could get to a coin phone. Yeah. It was it was it was fun. um I know that we didn't have it on our game list, but selfishly, I was following it and tracking it. I say selfishly, but I was i was tracking it because I have a friend that's ah a big K-State fan in the neighborhood. um And I knew that I was going to run into him on Sunday. But also, it was like literally the last football game that was on was K-State versus Colorado.
00:55:55
Speaker
Okay. Did you watch any of that game? I did not. No, buddy. Like if you ever wanted to watch like the Dion Sanders, like train derail, that was the, that was a game to watch because I think shallow Sanders had like, or, uh, Shader Sanders had like three or four intentional groundings. It was, uh, it was, it was not pretty. And, uh, I think Travis Hunter got hurt. Like, I don't know. You basically got to see like what they look like without Travis Hunter and their number two wide receiver. Yeah.
00:56:25
Speaker
Um, it was, it was not pretty. Yeah. No, I admit. I went to bed, I think after Oregon, Ohio state ended. I think that was the last one or no, whatever it was later at Ole Miss LSU. Maybe that ended and after that. Ole Miss LSU was a pretty late one. Yeah. I think when that ended, that's when I went to bed. So.
00:56:44
Speaker
really kivin Yeah, yeah, oh we do have to figure out who the Brian Kelly ah doppelganger is there was next to Brian Kelly on the sideline I'm assuming it's his brother. I'm assuming it's his brother too. We'll figure that out. We'll gotta put glasses on I really don't care because we don't play them. Sure. I'm sure. FTMF, Jim. Yeah. FTMF. Yeah. Don't tape by them. Huh? No LSU, no so then yeah no South Carolina, no Vandy. Yeah. but We avoid we avoid the the juggernaut that is Vandy right now. That's right. That's right.
00:57:17
Speaker
i They should be ranked. I don't know why they're not ranked but they're speaking of ranks speaking of ranks Navy and Army are ranked like what is happening? You know, there's a scenario where they could like sneak into the playoff. Well, there's okay No, it's it's like they play each other. So okay They're the army navy game like the traditional game is is after the playoff is announced like it's like an exhibition basically so what could happen but they're also in the same conference so there's this scenario so let's say they both go undefeated right.
00:57:50
Speaker
ah so let's say Let's say they go undefeated. They play in their conference championship. I'm just going to pick a team. i'll go arm I'm going to go alphabetical. so Let's say Army wins the first matchup. right Now Army is totally independent. They're conference champions. If they're the fifth highest ranked conference champion, that means they get into the playoff. right so Then they are that they get the 12 seed in theory.
00:58:10
Speaker
But then before the playoff, they're going to play Navy. They can, they would play Navy again in the army Navy game. And then what if Navy wins that game? The playoff has already been set. Can't change it. It's wild. So for some, I feel like for you as someone who loves chaos, I think that would be really difficult for that. I mean, i'm I love chaos. Um, I feel like that, that would be totally un-American for some, some, some crap like that to happen.
00:58:34
Speaker
I can't, I can't believe that that's how they, how it's scheduled. I can't believe that's how it works. Yeah. How is that even possible? I don't know. It shouldn't be. It's not only that, but like, you know, just like basically. It doesn't make sense. I mean, it sounds like they've killed his plan, assuming it kills, it kills one of the greatest rivalries in, in America. Like it kills one of the greatest rivalries. Yeah. That's why I don't like this period in the story. Like the, the the playoff expansion sucks. If the army Navy game means nothing.
00:59:04
Speaker
Take that, Josh. Sorry, Josh. yeah So yeah. All right. well Watch this space. We may dunk on Josh again. I know. I know. Seriously.
00:59:17
Speaker
Uh, all right. Well, I think I, you know, the, the, the, the consistency is the inconsistency. Um, but you know what? It was a conference when, uh, like what you said, we, uh, we won a game and we, and we move on. Yep. We've got, we've got some big fish coming up and, um, so let's get ready to fry them. Um, yeah, I think we're going to get, um, maybe we say we're going to, maybe we say we get ready to grill them. I'll take it. Yeah. I'm yeah, I'm definitely going to be real honest again.
00:59:47
Speaker
yeah ah seriously I don't know about you. um Yeah, man. This was fun. Once again, another another weekend that I'm i'm sad the to have missed out on. I'm glad that you guys were able to make it down. um But yeah, was it looked like it was a good time, and I'm looking forward to this weekend. So go, Dogs. Go, Dogs.
