Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us for another episode of Nightcap as you watch the Indiana Hoosers do what many didn't think they could outside of the state of Indiana.
Starting point is 00:05:39 And in that locker room, they go in and they win the big team, big 10 championship by the score of 1310 over the number one Buckeyes, who is trying to win it back to back consecutive years and going to the national champion. Indiana's good. They're very good. They're better than I even previously thought. You know, Joe,
Starting point is 00:05:59 we talked about them. We're like, maybe it's the level of competition. But after watching them tonight, go toe to toe, and we know what Ohio State has to offer offensively, defensively,
Starting point is 00:06:09 those skill set players, those players. Yes. It really shouldn't have been that close. Had Ohio State defense not been on their game, that game would have been a blowout. Because Indiana was going up and down the field. They're selling for field goals in the red zone.
Starting point is 00:06:23 But, They were able to go up and down the field at will, too, and defensively, they played really good ball. If you look at, hey, if you look at the, not, the players, the players and where they're from, the type of players that Indiana has, they got a bunch of dogs. They got a bunch of dogs, a bunch of players out from California. They got a lot of them from Miami, you know, down here from down south.
Starting point is 00:06:49 So they have the right. And the fact that they were able to get those type of players to go to Indiana, says a lot is one of the reasons why they looked the way they did against Ohio State today. They look very good tonight. I am your favorite on Shannon Sharp, my partner and co-host Liberty City's own. Bingle Ring of Fame Honorary, a former pro bowler and an all pro.

But first, you watch the Indiana Hoosers win the Big Ten championship by the score of 13 to 1310 over Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:08:33 They were the number two team. They'll be number one. They'll be number one going into the college football playoff. Now we see why Signetti didn't even entertain anything, any other offers. He does have. Yes. Jimmy Sexton as his agent, sure, LSU would have loved to have him. Penn State would have to have it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 any other job at open us, but now you see why he stayed put. He realized what he has. He's like, you know what? I can contend for a national championship right here at IU and I can get $11 million right here at IU. I don't need to go anywhere and try to revitalize a program when I can stay right here and stay with the program that I built. He built this program.
Starting point is 00:09:11 They have the second most losses in NCAA history. Over 700, almost 800 losses. It's going to be a long, it's going to be a while before they get to 800 losses. I think they have $7.75, I think they put that on the screen. But when you look at this team, Ocho, when you look at them offensively, you look at them defensively, that's what I was most impressed with. Because you see a team put up 50 points, 60, 70 points. You know they got pretty good offense.
Starting point is 00:09:34 But the defense to do what they did to that team, weren't the last time Ohio State scored 10 points in a ball game or the entirety of a ball game with those weapons that they got offensively. They have. Man, you got to tip your hat. I tip my hat. Coach Zignetti. Hell of a job, coach.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Hell of a job. Yeah. And the funny thing about it is coaching is one thing, but just like boxing, styles and personnel, it helps you win. As great as the players are, offensively for Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Indiana, the Hoosiers, the defense of players, at those Pacific positions, you know, as far as the D.Bs going against those elite receivers, they have the personnel to be able to stifle that offense the way they did today because of the person.
Starting point is 00:10:20 that they do have. They played extremely well. And the onus to me on this win is more on the defense as opposed to it is offense. Because you see the way they got out of saying. They fact them five times. They pressured him numerous times. And I think the thing, Ocho, when you look at it,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I think the difference between this year and last year, they were not in all the moment. They were just happy to be there. I, you had never been to a Big Ten championship. Nobody expect the base run up out of nowhere. They're like, you know, Ocho died. They tear a building down and the thing, like, damn.
Starting point is 00:10:50 them when did they put that when did they put that bank there when did they put that shopping center there they just came out of nowhere this year right they expected to be there they weren't in odd the moment they wanted to prove that to this year wasn't a fluke like last year was a lot of people thought last year was a fluke I thought it was because I'd never thought Indiana that's a basketball school would be where they are Indiana is a basketball state where it used to be before Peyton Manning it was a basketball in the Indianapolis 500 state but now with Peyton coming there. It's a football state. And now with IU, right. Oh, my goodness. Coach Signetti, you know, you tip your hat to him because he did an unbelievable job, an unbelievable job of scouting, recruiting, getting the staff together. Fernando Mendoza, I believe he's going to win the Hizman. I think what he did tonight, he was a, I think he was the betting favorite coming in, saying was right there on his tail. But I think with what he did tonight and what he's done all year, I think he's more than the more than earned the right. Ain't no more deserving.
Starting point is 00:11:50 He's more than earned the right to be the Heisman Trophy winner of 2025. So he's definitely getting an invitation, and I believe he will be the winner of the 2025 Heisman Trophy when it's presented at the downtown athletic club. Clearly, this is the biggest win in IU history. They took down the team. I don't know when the last time. I mean, they were the defending Big Ten champs. They were defending national champs, and they beat them. They were more physical.
Starting point is 00:12:16 It's not often because Indiana got a lot of, I mean, excuse me, Ohio. State has a lot of guys that's going to play on Sunday. Caleb Downs, they got Jeremiah Smith. They've got a lot of guys. Hey, that Caden Curry, number 92, he's going to play on Sunday. Yes, huh. He's going to play on Sunday. They got a lot of guys going to play.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And for Indiana to come in there and be just as physical, if not more physical, to be as disciplined, if not more discipline. What Ohio State was, you've got to tip your head to Indiana. They earned his victory. They left no doubt. They left no doubt. This is the best team in the country. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:52 And the game, especially a game of this magnitude, you know, is one up front. It's one up front. The game is won in the trenches, and that's exactly where they won. And then defensively, the Hoosiers weren't scared. They weren't scared to be able to blitz either because most of the time when you do blitz, hell, you put your back in, you put your back in, in harm's way. But, listen, the back in play so goddamn well, they had no problem to be able to do so. So listen, I tell you the truth, I was surprised.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I was surprised that Indiana, I knew I understood the players that they had. I understood the personnel that they had, but I didn't know they were this good. I didn't know they were this good. Yeah. And this was, this is a good test. You know, look, we talk about Indiana and we had, I think we had Pons on. Did we have him on the DB from Indiana? Wasn't he on earlier this year?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah, yeah. And, you know, he was talking about, and I think the thing is, Ocho is that, like I say, they score 70 points, they're beating big 10 opponents by 50 plus points a game, and I'm just thinking, okay, what about the level of competition? We're going to see when they have to play Ohio State. I apologize, Chad. I spoke. Oregon was the defending Big Ten champs, not Ohio State. They got in because Oregon had beat them in Oregon, and then they played Oregon later, and they beat the brakes off Oregon, but that's neither here nor there. This is Indiana first outright Big Ten title since 1945. I don't know how many in the chat was alive when Indiana won't.
Starting point is 00:14:17 the last Big Ten championship. But they, look, this was as an impressive performance that I've seen this year. The way they went in, and like I said, I believe the biggest difference between this year and last year, they were not in off. They were not in off of Ohio State. They, hey, the bug guys and the defending champs and they got all these guys, they got a $20 million roster. Okay, fine and good. But at the end of the day, no matter.
Starting point is 00:14:47 matter how much a guy has in his bank account, he still has to go out to perform. I don't care if you got to perform. I don't care what level you are. At the end of the day, your bank account, they got nothing to do with what you're doing on this field. You still got to perform. You got that money, and deservedly so.
Starting point is 00:15:04 But Indiana said, you know what, guys, we got, we got 60 minutes to prove who's the better team. Yeah, and money and money don't matter at that point, not in between the lines. In between them lines, that money No matter. Nope. Ohio State suffered his first loss of the season.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Kurt Signetic has completed one of the greatest turnaround in college football history. Man, if you go back and think about what Coach Savan had on his staff, from Coach Signetti to Lane Kiffin to Kirby Smart to Crystal Ball, to Dan Landing with a grader system, to Mel Tucker. You look at what he had, Billy Napier. It's hard to find, it's hard to find a better coaching tree than that. in college football. And with that being said, man, I'm just impressed.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I'm just impressed with Indiana because of what I'm, to actually sit down and just watch the mocho because a lot of times, you know, I think they played, who they played Georgia State or day, somebody and they beat them 70 to seven, and they beat seven to seven to seven.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah, yeah. They beat team 16. I'm like, man, what am I going to get out of this? I say, I want to see them play. The only time they were really put to the test is that they had on fourth down, they had to make that catch against, I think it was Penn State.
Starting point is 00:16:21 That was really the only time that we really saw them tested. I said, well, you know what? They're going to be in the Big Ten Championship opposite of Ohio State, and we're going to find out if they're for real or not. And I think that's what everybody was waiting and watching for.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Let's see how well there. Let's see it to go up against the Buckeyes. Big O8. I, you. Yeah, hey, they showed up. They showed up. Hey, I know this is very impressive, but for you, as a coach turning a, turning a team around like this and winning the Big Ten, is this the best turnaround you've seen in college football being that it's a basketball school that you've ever seen? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Yes. Yes. Okay. Because coach statement turning around Alabama, Alabama had already won eight, nine national championships. Okay. Right. Ohio State, everybody knows. Ohio State. and what they were and winning like at the level in Michigan everybody knows those were prominent programs this is a basketball school right this is a basketball school
Starting point is 00:17:26 and I'm sure now people are looking like hey coach Belichick you had a basketball school what you got? You see what coach signetti did with IU? Hey that's not fair on come on now I'm just saying that's going to be the expectation. I got you I got you yeah I got you
Starting point is 00:17:44 no look it's the first year I mean, Coach Signetti didn't do this in his first year. It took time. No, no, no, no. But that's the level of expectations that fans and people are going to boost us and alumni. That's what they're going to have. You're the greatest coach in NFL history.
Starting point is 00:17:58 You go to a basketball school and we saw what Signetti did at IU. This is what they're going to expect from Coach Belichick. If he stays, I don't know what's going to happen. But if he stays there, that's what they're going to expect. But IU, we what, hey, Ocho, that third down call? Yeah. That third down call. and that cat by Charlie Becker
Starting point is 00:18:18 and that throw by Mendoza that called by Signetti that's clutch that's clutch if you look in the dictionary you look up the definition of clutch that play that play itself should be inserted right there as visual reference in what clutch is
Starting point is 00:18:34 they needed that I mean I in Ohio State didn't help themselves that four down that you needed to convert the Schengfield goal I mean, all those puts you behind age. Well, I, you, Mr. Field, go to the guy shank one. Red zone mistake by Ohio State on the fourth and one.
Starting point is 00:18:53 At the five, they get zero points. Third and one, at the nine, they get zero points. And IU got a day, you know, we talk about defenses and we talk about Georgia's defense and what they're able to do. Yeah. Don't sleep on IU now. Don't sleep on IU. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:19:10 It had been very interesting. Like I said, I thought Indiana could have really put some pressure. or IU early because they were getting into the red zone and they're having to settle for three and they have to settle for field goal. I'm like, boy, that's going to bite y'all in the butt. Y'all need to put some pressure on this team. You're not going to put them away in the first half because you still have a whole half of football to go, but you can put them on the extreme to rest. And that's what you want to do. When you play a team like Ohio State, the longer I can get you out in the deep water because you hadn't been there in a while,
Starting point is 00:19:41 you say you can swim. them, but that's in a pool. Right. Let me take you out in the ocean where you got current. You got ripped ties. Yes. You got, you got charts. You got other things around you.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Can you swim in this body of water? That's what I do. The longer this game got on, the longer this game went in Indiana was attached to them and then they got the lead. Let's hold on. Where was the last time? Confidence. When was the last time Ohio State was in a game?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Here we are in the third quarter, early fourth quarter, and they're behind. Or a team is this close to them. Mm-hmm. It's been a while. And it'll, hey, it don't do nothing to give your confidence, too. It don't do nothing to give you confidence. It gives not just the coaching staff, but those players, understanding where they are in this game. Well, hell, this is the mighty, this is the mighty Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:20:33 You mean to tell me, we right here playing ball with them quarter to quarter, down to down. I mean, we can do this. That kid's tough. And they came out, they came out on top. And Mendoza, the first player, what was that? The first player, the second player of the game, he rolled out. Yeah, you got hit him the right there. Yeah, and I think that was, I think that was, hold on, that was number 92.
Starting point is 00:20:54 That was Kaden Curry to hit him, right? That was 92, yeah, that was him again, 92. Because you know what I'm saying? Oh, Joe, you're like, he saw him at the last second, but you couldn't brace. You can't brace with that. Yeah, yeah, you could. Put that shoulder in, knock the air out of him. I was like, oh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And, but give those guys credit, they came out for, and, and, and, and, and, and, and picked them off, set them up for, got them in field goal range. Ocho, it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing play out. We're going to talk about this, but Alabama. They didn't belong in that field with Georgia. No. They didn't belong in the field with Georgia.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I don't care what nobody's sake. I understand how the first game went at the beginning of the season. I understand how it went. But that means nothing. That means nothing. The first game of the season, I'm not even going to count that. I'm not going to count that because you as a team, you aren't even into yourself yet.
Starting point is 00:21:47 You haven't found your stride. You haven't found your stride. So when you play in the last game of the season, one that matters most, one as important as this, obviously with college playoffs on the line, that's when you're supposed to play your best football towards the end of the seasons
Starting point is 00:22:04 and when you're normally playing your best football. What we saw today from Alabama, that's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. And I still think that the committee is going to find a way to make sure they're in the college playoffs. They said they're not going to punish teams for losing in the college if you're champion, you know, you conference championship, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:22:25 But I call this. Alabama hadn't looked good for the last month. I told you all everybody, man, get off Ty Simpson. Get off Ty Simpson. I see, Todd Simpson is playing bad. Go back and look at Alabama's office the last month. I don't care what you say and he made a cardinal sin
Starting point is 00:22:44 is far down. You cannot throw the ball out of bounds. If it's out of bounds, if it's out of bounds, even if it's intercepted. Give your guy chance. You didn't give him a damn chance. You threw it out of bounds
Starting point is 00:22:58 and then you're looking like, yeah. What? You probably should have took the back on the rim. Mm-hmm. Guys are making mistakes that I shouldn't have to tell a quarterback not to throw the ball out of bounds.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I shouldn't have, on fourth down on Joe, I shouldn't have to tell you that. Give the guy a chance. I mean, especially for the quarterback, even if your coach doesn't tell you what to do, it's all about understanding the situation. Situational awareness, situational awareness, that's what it comes down to.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Knowing that you can't throw the ball out of bounds, I have to give whoever I choose to throw the ball to, I got to give them a chance. you have to and to just throw it out of bounds it makes no sense at all. It drives me crazy to see guys on fourth down throw the ball out of the end zone. What do you hell you're hoping?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Are you worried about your completion percentage? You worried about not throwing an interception? Tell me what you hope to accomplish by throwing the ball out of the end zone or throwing the ball out of bounds on fourth down. Tell me what you gained from that. Tell me how does that help the team? And I'm like, bro, I know this.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I'm saying, I say I know this kid did not just throw this ball out of bounds. Yeah. And I don't know who's calling the plays, but how many times are you guys going to go scat protection and going to let Georgia blitz you? I'm confused. I think, I think, let's go ahead and get to this game, Mocchio.
Starting point is 00:24:27 We got, we got, let's get to the Georgia game. If a Lenovo gaming computer is on your holiday list, don't shop around. Just go directly to the source, Lenovo.com.

Starting point is 00:26:37 You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and that's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer.

I just want to remind everyone how good Rishie Rice was last season. And these three healthy games, he was the wide receiver two in fantasy. I think Rishie Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Their side, Touchdown! Remandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Drake takes the snap, hands it off. Remodry running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown! It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around. Subscribe to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Explain the mashup that occurs around the OK Corral. How in the world is it Doc Holliday's business?
Starting point is 00:28:07 In episode 799 of the Meat Eater podcast, host Stephen Rinella talked with author and Old West historian Mark Lee Gardner. Whenever there was a posse formed, Doc Holliday was always there to help out. So he's like, I'm sick, I'm half dead, I'd love to throw in. So he just gets excited when there's a posse. It's like your buddy drew a tag, you know. Listen to the Meat Eater podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:28:35 George Allen. At the Kirby Smart team has dropped seven of their previous eight games against the Crimson Tide. The number three Bulldog flip the script and put on a dominant performance in the SEC championship game and the Mercedes Ben Stadium in Atlanta by securing the second straight SEC title. The Bulldogs finished 12 and 1
Starting point is 00:28:55 and likely secure the top four seed. I think they're going to be the number two seed. That's me personally, but now they're here or no there. Maybe they leave Ohio State it. but I think they're going to be number two. It's the first time Georgia's won back-to-back SEC championships since Herschel Walker led the Bulldogs to three straight in 1980-82.
Starting point is 00:29:15 They won the national championship in 1980 over Notre Dame, and then they lost a couple of them in the way. I think they lost in 81 and 82. I think they lost 82 to Penn State, if I'm not mistaken. And what you were talking about, Ocho, do you realize Alabama random all right? 16 times for minus three yards, Ocho? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, statistically, you look at the stats and you don't look at the scoreboard, you know Alabama lost this game. You know they lost this game. I mean, Tyler Simpson was 19 for what, 39, one team, one reception, for 212, but you look at everything else statistically.
Starting point is 00:29:57 You know they lost this game. It's no way they won that game. Georgia was dominant in all three phases of the game. All three, defense, offense, hell, special teams. I'm surprised Alabama even was able to get seven points tonight. Yeah, based on, and again, returners. You see Alabama returner.
Starting point is 00:30:19 You put your heels at team. If the ball goes over your head, you're like, coach, I'm at the 10. Let it go. How you feel that you're fair catching a punt like you doing something special at the five? You fumble it, and now you got the ball at the three. Stuff like that costs you, huh? Stuff like that cost you. At every level, you know you put your heels on the 10.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Anything that goes over your head or past that, you let go. You wave everybody ass off to get out the way and you let the ball go. If they happen to touch the ball inside, inside, inside the fire before it crosses, that's not on you. That's not on you. Yeah, they, look, Georgia looked like the superior team. they play like the superior team. I don't think, there's no amount of money.
Starting point is 00:31:09 There's no amount of odds you could have given me to take Alabama. Based on what I've seen Alabama playing like the last month. So there's no way. Looking at how Georgia has played the last month, looking at how Alabama had played the last month, you'd have been a fool to take Alabama to be. And I get it.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Man, that's what we do. And the record, look at what we've done to Georgia. And the last, I get all of that. I get all of that but normally when you're doing this to Georgia you're playing well going into that game y'all not playing well
Starting point is 00:31:42 and you hadn't played well for a month Todd Simpson has not played well for a month that running game has been bad all year yes there's only your defense is only going to be able to withstand so much so much so much
Starting point is 00:31:58 is it but Gunna Stockton 20 of 26, 156, three touchdowns. They ran the ball 41 times for 141 yards. I mean, it was just a complete demolition. They sacked stocked her three times. They pressured him numerous times. Georgia's going to have to fight.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Ale, excuse me, Alabama's going to have the final running game. They got to, Ocho. Look. Well, hey, hold on. It's too late now. You're talking about finding the running game right now? This late. Oh, well, you got to get you a back.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Jamir Gibbs ain't walking through that room. Jamir Gibbs is not walking back. Trent Richardson, not walking back through their room. Mark Engram is not walking back through that room. So if you're going to find one, you're going to have to find someone special, you're going to have to,
Starting point is 00:32:47 you got to go get him. You got to take him somewhere else. The type of back that Alabama needs right now is not out there. I don't think. Well, I don't know. I don't know. The guy that we had come on that came on with us,
Starting point is 00:32:58 he broke his jaw. He had some elucidness. He's had some speed. but these other guys man and receivers the day hey
Starting point is 00:33:08 our boy dropped the good one man went right through his hands man Jeremy Bernard he did he did he dropped it okay I'm talking about I'm talking about Ryan too
Starting point is 00:33:20 Ryan dropped the good one right through it went right through his hands a little bit ain't a little bit on your show I mean I don't look five years ago six years ago before the NIL and guys who aren't making money, we'd give him great. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:34 He's a professional. He just have to be in college. But he's making money. He's making $3, $4 million. He's making $2.4 million a year. There's a level of expectation that comes along when you get paid. Ain't no more, where he's young. I bet his bank take direct deposit.
Starting point is 00:33:53 He ain't too young to have a checking account. He ain't too young to have a bank of an account. I get it. I get it. he's 18 years of age, but you can't convince me that this something is not, either something physically wrong or emotionally wrong with this young man. Yeah. It started towards last year, Ocho, but this precipitous drop, Ocho, I don't even recognize it.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And half the time, he ain't not even on the field, Ocho. Yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously, you know, I don't know anybody at Alabama. I don't. And most of the time I've watched him on film. I think about what he did last year and I watched some of the highlights before Alabama played the day. and I watched what he did last year.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And every week, it was like, what the hell? And what it reminded me of is the excitement that Randy Moss, the excitement that Peter Ward brought to the game of college football. Because the type of player, it gave you that experience like people had that lived in Atlanta when Michael Vick was playing. When he has the ball in his hands and when the ball is in his hands, you don't know what the hell is going to happen, something special going to happen. So to have that excitement from him last year and then this year, it looked the way it does.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I don't really understand. and what that's a that's not just a drop on that's not just a drop in just production it just something is wrong and i don't think it has anything to do with football it has to be something off the field it has to be something off the field because last year unc there was there was there there was a conversation that to be had whether he was the best receiver in college football outside of jeremiah smith it was one and two it was one and two and it was it wasn't even close as far as anyone else's concerned i i i i don't know don't know what it is man but that's somebody you tell you that you long he's so great he's so
Starting point is 00:35:34 special at such a young age that's somebody i would love i would love to have some type of impact on when it comes to playing the game itself well i hope you can get in touch with him or his people reach out to you i'm surprised and maybe maybe they have reached out to someone other than yourself uh obviously no one has reached out to me um but maybe that maybe he does have a mentor or mentors maybe he has someone that he can talk to or bouts things off or whatever he's going whatever he's going through in his life
Starting point is 00:36:05 at this current time mojo that I hope that he gets that resolve but this is not the kid that we saw last year and the thing is it's now that we judge these kids differently because we know they're the top level kids the Jeremiah Smith the Arch Mannings
Starting point is 00:36:20 the Ryan Williams these guys we know that it's not just you're just not getting books you're not getting just tuition and room and board. Yeah. And so there's a level of expectation. The more you make, the more expected of you.
Starting point is 00:36:39 That's with any, like, we're not just talking about professional athlete. That's any job. Whatever your job is. The more you make, the more is expected of you. Mm-hmm. So I'm just surprised. Kailen DeBoers said the number nine crimson tides are deserving of a spot of the college football playoff saying that a conference title game lost shouldn't be punishment.
Starting point is 00:36:59 If this game applies to take, two, and take away from our resume, I don't think that's right. I really don't. I think the precedent has been set, and I don't know how you can go into a conference playoff game when you're the number one seed and did all these things throughout the year and playing in this game, one of the top teams in the country as well, and how that can hurt you and keep you out of the playoffs. When again, we've done what we've done all year. But you look bad over the last month, coach. right i have another question now i i hear what coach is saying and making this argument on
Starting point is 00:37:36 why they should be in there you shouldn't be penalized for playing in a game this magnitude obviously an extra game but will the committee also take strength of schedule in a consideration as opposed to everyone else's every everyone else's schedule they played georgia twice they look at look at where uh uh uh look at where vanderbilt's rank they played oklahoma right they played Tennessee. So they played powerhouse teams. I mean, the strength of schedule, you look at the SEC and what is, you know, look at all the teams.
Starting point is 00:38:10 There's a great chance. Ole Miss is going to get in. Oklahoma has a very compelling case to get in. Vanderbilt. Tennessee says, oh, what about us? We know Georgia then because they won the SEC championship. Could you have 14 from the SEC, maybe even five? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Right. Absolutely. I think you're only getting two in from the Big Ten, which is IU and Ohio State. Then you got to have Texas Tech. I don't think anybody's getting there from the ACC. If I'm not mistaken, I think Duke just beat Virginia. Ain't no eight and five team getting into the college football playoff.
Starting point is 00:38:44 No. So with that being said, so I think you're going to get Texas Tech, Georgia, IU, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma. now where do we start going you see all these other teams going to have a compelling claim we got six other team that's going to get in I just uh uh it's just it's just hard for me to see Alabama and y'all know what I think about Alabama
Starting point is 00:39:12 but based on what they've done the last month of the season nah they they have I don't believe they've earned the right to be in I don't think for me Ocho for me personally and chat y'all can disagree if you like I don't think they're one of the 12 best teams in the country right now. I don't. Ooh. You don't think so? Nope.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Do you think there's any chance Miami and Notre Dame get in? I mean, oh, Texas A&M? They got one loss. Right. I don't know about those. I know, I know, I know people, people love, people love Notre Dame, but I just, uh, uh, uh, Uh huh? Yeah, I'm looking. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 So I think Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech. Then you got Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas, A&M, all with one loss. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Do you got Texas? Okay. Okay, yeah. So that's seven. So if you take the top seven teams that was entering today,
Starting point is 00:40:26 I think they're all going to be in. I think Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas, Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas, N.M, Oklahoma. I think those are no brainers. I really do. Now, you look at Notre Dame, look at Miami, you look at Texas, you look at Vanderbilt.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I just... So you don't see any scenario where Alabama gets in? Oh, I can see them getting in because people say, well, you know, because they've said, the committee has said, we're not going to hold a conference championship loss against you. Against you, okay, okay, okay, okay. So A&M didn't play for the conference title.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Neither did Oregon, neither did Ole Miss, neither did Oklahoma, Notre Dame doesn't have one. Miami didn't make theirs. Right. Vanderbilt didn't make theirs. Texas didn't make theirs. So we play, we lose, you sitting at home watching us play, and then you jump us.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I can see what Kaylon DeBore is saying. The committee might feel the same way Kaylon DeBore is feeling. Right. But just my eye test, they're not one of the 12 best teams. Damn. They're not, not in my estimation. Not based on what I've seen over the last month. They're not one of the 12 best teams.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It's going to be exciting. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be exciting. and I can't wait. Yeah, I just, like I said, as you look, I think those other teams, I think all the teams that are in the top eight, I think they're going.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas, NM, Oklahoma. So that's one, two, three. That's four teams right there from the SEC. Right. Yee. All right, we got a very special guest joining us today. He ran for 52 yards and a touchdown today.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And he helped the number three Georgia Bulldogs with when their consecutive second back-to-back, SEC championship games. Nate Frazier is joining us. Nate, how you doing, man? We're going to see how y'all doing, man. We're doing good, man. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You just win the SEC championship and you in your room? What's really going on? My game room, bye. You in the game room. Paying the camera. Let me make sure you ain't got something off camera. Paying the camera. Let me see the rule. Let me see the room. Let me see the room. Go on. I'm trying to get it. Don't know.

Starting point is 00:47:51 He gave me an error on my side. No, no, no, no. You can't be, you can't be slick to a can or. You, you, you think you slid. You think, hey, they, eh, a, now, it's an error, it's an error on my part. I hear right, you hear about, shh, shh, don't say that, don't say that.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Yeah, yeah. I know what you're on nightcap. But, Nate had an unbelievable game today. He had 13 carries, 52 yards. He had that touchdown on the counter that really, for all intents and purposes, I thought the game was over,
Starting point is 00:48:29 the game was over at 14-0. Considering the Alabama's offense. It was all good. I mean, Nate, we would just give you a hard time. We know what's really going on. I mean, contrary to what you think, man, you know, Hey, you know, up, you know, up in a late fifties.
Starting point is 00:48:46 But I did go to college, mate. I went to college. You know what I'm saying? I felt like you did. Boy, about how I was getting here tonight, man? The next thing I'm doing after this is putting my head to a pillow, trust. Whoa, hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Y'all just won a day. Y'all, no, y'all didn't just win. Y'all dominated. Y'all dominate the day, and you go, you go on to bed? I got to go to church no morning, you know? Oh, you go to church in the morning? Oh, you go to church in the morning? That's what I got to praise the Lord.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Oh, man, that's awesome. That's unbelievable. Okay, okay. Hey, boy, hey, boy, listen, I like that. Boy, you got your head on right, boy, you hear me? You got your head on right. Listen, today's game, what did that feel like for y'all to be able to dominate in all three phases of the game, especially offensively?
Starting point is 00:49:27 How did that feel? It felt crazy, man. It felt like everything we worked hard for, you know, really just paid off. It felt great. It was a great win. I'm so proud of my boys. I'm so proud of my brothers, man. It felt great to be back at the SEC chapter.
Starting point is 00:49:39 That's just something that you don't do. That's hard to do, man. So that felt great. I'm so proud of my guys. But you know, coming in, look, you had heard the story, the last six or seven times Alabama had beaten Georgia.
Starting point is 00:49:53 They beat you guys earlier this year between the hedges. So obviously this was a matchup that you wanted. You felt, you're like, you know what, we let one slip away. But we get an opportunity to redeem ourselves and show that we're one of the best teams in the country.
Starting point is 00:50:06 We're very deserving of going to the college football playoffs. And with that performance that you got today, I know Kirby probably told you, you guys are probably going to earn a buyer. You're going to probably earn one of those four buys. Mm-hmm. Feel good.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Boy, I know you got a week where you're going to do a bloody Tuesday about 15, 20, period, 23, 3-I, practice the straight pay, pay, pay, pay, that's going to feel good for a lot of a couple of days. They kick my feet up a little bit. Yeah, most definitely. That would be good for y'all to, being able to have that buy, allowing players to, you know, to heal up, allowing some other players that may be injured,
Starting point is 00:50:43 allowing them to get back and get back in the good graces of health so they could be at their maximum potential when it's time to play again could be a great thing. When you look forward to the college playoff, when you look forward to the college playoff, is there a specific team that you really want to see or you really don't matter? Whoever's in the way, we got to step on them.
Starting point is 00:51:03 No, whatever's in the way, man. Because every team that's in the college football playoffs, a great team is going to be a challenge. We've got to take your business, you know, we can't look at no team any differently, but we just got to make sure at the next day and the next game, we just need to do a game plan of the team
Starting point is 00:51:16 that we forgot how we're going to play because no team just in a college playoff for no reason, dog. Right, right. Every team that's in our college football playoffs, got some fighting or nation's all like us, so we just got to be prepared and ready. When I look at you guys,
Starting point is 00:51:29 knowing what you have on both sides of the football, probably the way you guys practice, the game is probably easier than some of you guys is practiced, knowing what you have the four and five stars that you got on offense, the four and five stars that you got on defense. And Kirby is old school. Kirby got y'all guys
Starting point is 00:51:45 spunded up during the week. It ain't no shorts and walkthroughs and all that. Kirby, and y'all putting helmets and pat on pad. You know, you fuck, dude. Two days before the game, we're in bats. Damn. Kirby, turn it up. We got in the game.
Starting point is 00:52:03 We, we, in it. Yeah. It ain't no way. This Georgia is a hall. to have to go through no breeze through college and do walk-throughs on Mondays and 30. Right. No, Georgia is hard.
Starting point is 00:52:16 If you want to be a great player in life, it's not easy. So Georgia, you like lessons. Georgia teaches you that life is going to be hard, so you're going to have to go through some hard. Yeah, that's dope. To play hard, you've got to practice hard. And I think a lot of teams have gotten away from that. I mean, I know in the NFL, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:52:34 they definitely don't practice like we used to practice. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Cut his teeth under Coach Saban. Coach Saban is old, oh, Coach Saban go way, way back. So that's the only way, and that's why you guys constantly put out three and four
Starting point is 00:52:49 and five guys in the first round, have 10 guys get drafted every single year because this is what you do. We iron sharpens irons. We got some of the best offensive players, some of the best defensive players, and we put them to the test every single day, every single week.
Starting point is 00:53:05 So when we get in the game, oh man y'all about to get molly walk yeah yes sir oh jean i got a curse for y'all because y'all some legends man i wonder what y'all mean about practice how y'all practice y'all give me a story what y'all through what y'all practice is like because y'all know y'all play that time yeah see you you got you got to understand i'm i'm gonna take this in first before i'm let you go on you got to understand when we play young young bull when we played we had two of days and our practices was you know two hours two hours and 30 minutes and we had we had two full full padded practices
Starting point is 00:53:37 you know out there you know in the morning the first practice 6 a.m. You go out there you got lunch you go take your nap and then you got the second practice in the afternoon. Now this is training camp this is training camp so we had two days when the season started well you and you and pads
Starting point is 00:53:53 Wednesday Thursday yes we have certain we have certain periods where it's all out full contact. Fridays is fast Friday you got your helmet on you got your shells you got the shorts Saturday has walked through game on Sunday
Starting point is 00:54:08 you repeat the same cycle the rest of the season but thank God I was born in 2000 Hey go ahead listen In college When I was in college We had old old coach Davis Now they ain't got this little
Starting point is 00:54:22 Protocol and rules and regulations Like y'all got now It was three hours And then Savannah it was hot Now when I got to the NFL We thud it up We ain't it ain't no Just wrap him up
Starting point is 00:54:34 No, 9-07, we're putting people on the ground. In Team Drill, hey, we ain't driving you in the ground, but you're going to hear some pads popping. Oh, yeah. Training camp was, oh, I'll just say it was two a days. We once had a practice in, I think that was 94. We had eight straight days or two of days. Each practice was two and a half hours long,
Starting point is 00:54:55 and we putting people on the ground. Go line, nine on seven. See, now they got walkthroughs, and you have one of your practices of meeting, meeting, Well, you meeting to see, hey, we try to lay your ass out. That was the meeting that we was having. It wasn't no meeting about what we going to do.
Starting point is 00:55:11 That's what it was. But you guys, now, but Kirby, that's why you guys are so ready to play. You have to prepare your body to take that kind of punishment in the game. You cannot. You cannot ask your body to do something. It has not done.
Starting point is 00:55:26 You guys hit in the game because you hit during the week and your body is conditioned. to take that kind of. That's why Georgia constantly have 10, 11 guys go to the NFL every single year. This is why those guys play at an elite level every single year because their bodies are used to that and you got great coaching. You got one of the great college coaches of this generation and you put the best against the best.
Starting point is 00:55:54 And that's what you have to have. So you guys are in a great system. You made the right choice. I don't know. What made you pick, Georgia? Are you from Georgia? No, sir. I'm from California, man.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Compton? How the hell you get way over there? You're in Compton? Yes, I'm from Compton. Hey, what area are you grew up in Compton? You know what I'm at the King Hospital? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I grew up in the Jordan Downs, too,
Starting point is 00:56:17 like trying to watch all my people's west my area. Like, I grew up in LA, baby, period. Like, that's it. Oh, George Downs, man. You know, listen, you know, you know I went to Santa Monica Junior Junior College. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:28 I stay across the street. I had a little girl back in the day, man. I stayed across the street from Dorsey over in the jungles in the third building North Coliseum. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what made, Nate, what made you pick George? You got UCLA, you got USC. Man, you got 100 colleges in between California and Georgia.
Starting point is 00:56:48 You know how OG you was explaining all this stuff about Georgia, Georgia is different than Georgia get 10 or 12 players drafted. That's one of the main reasons I chose Georgia because Georgia is different. To be successful in life, you got to be different, My daughter, you got to be doing something different than others to be successful life to be on top of somebody.
Starting point is 00:57:05 So the main reason why I chose Georgia is when I stepped on camera, I just got a different feeling. I got a feeling that I was at home. I got a feeling that I was around me was going to try to take care of me to get to my furthest potential. So that's one of the main reasons I chose Georgia. George is a great place to be at. I love it.
Starting point is 00:57:21 I love it. You said something very important. You say you got to, if you want to be different, you got to do different. And I just want to tell kids, Nate, when I used to talk to kids, Because I say, in order to be great, you must do what others can't or won't. Sometimes you have to do both of them.
Starting point is 00:57:36 You got to do what they can't do and what they won't do. Because a lot of times people talk about being successful. Now, say, let me ask you a question. People always, always write down your goal. I bet you wrote down when you got to Georgia and this season you had, you wrote down 10 things what you wanted to accomplish. But on the right side, did you write down 10 things you're willing to sacrifice to make sure you get through those 10 things?
Starting point is 00:58:00 that you did see that's what you have to do see you write down your goal all you want to but will you write down what you're willing to sacrifice in order to get those goals that's when you take it because that nothing great can ever be achieved without sacrifice the greater the goal the greater the sacrifice must be to reach said goal you understand what comes along with playing in football you want to go to the national football league there's going to be some times you're going to have to deny family I can't come to this I can't do that. I've got to study. I've got to practice. I've got to be X, Y, and Z. And you can't feel bad. Man, I feel bad. I can't, man. I can't go to my mom's. I can't go to my. I can't do
Starting point is 00:58:40 this. I can't. Okay. How great do you want to be? Yeah. Sacrifice. Sure. Man, it's, man. I just love having a young kids and I see, I see the hunger in your eye. I see that you want to be great. I give you a hard time. Like, man, you ended the that, but I was the exact same way. I went to one party in four years at Savannah State because partying wasn't going to get me to the NFL. I knew it wasn't. And I didn't begrudge anybody that was going to party. My grandmother sent me to college for two reasons, Nate, to get a degree and go play in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Now, I knew they were going to happen. I didn't know which one was going to happen. I got my degree because it wasn't good enough for me to go to Savannah State or 10 Savannah State. I graduated from Savannah State. But I was going to that next level. and so you have the right mindset. I love the fact that you said, man, I got to get up and go,
Starting point is 00:59:31 I got to go to church because there's somebody of the high power that blessed me to be in this position and keep me safe when I'm in these ball games because I understand one hit could be the end of it.
Starting point is 00:59:44 So I got to give somebody that credit. I got to give somebody that glory and say thank you, not only for keeping me safe, but for allowing me to wake up this morning. Because a lot of people had an appointment, Nate, schedule.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Go ahead, Ocho. Hey, listen, I understand. Obviously, you're very disciplined. You're very structured in the way you carry yourself. Understanding that, you know, God is the reason for all your success and will be the reason for all your success long beyond college football. But for fun, how do you get a mental reset and do things you like to do to get you away from the game? You know, you got to have something because you got to be able to fall back on for me.
Starting point is 01:00:25 My fallback on is video gaming gaming gaming gaming is my fallback on I'm talking about literally I don't even go a lot to you OG I feel like sometimes I go fishing I do like now I'm a Georgia I do like outdoor things like I do deer
Starting point is 01:00:41 hunting I do fishing and stuff like that you know it's just like to get a connection with nature it's peaceful it's quiet you know it teaches me paces and stuff like that sometimes I play my game but really one of the main things I just do I just vibe with listening music you know like You ever got to be like late night just cool and just listen to music, the sun, drop.

Like, I really like being around with all the carotering and loud noise and stuff. Right. But for fun time, I just like to chill and just relax, man. Okay, okay. I like it.

Starting point is 01:02:43 You know, I was real quiet. So instead of using the arrow and I had my shotgun on my back, so I had the bow and arrow, too. So I was like, Rambo, boy. instead of using a shotgun of my arrow I jumped on his back from the tree I jumped off the purse and I was round his neck
Starting point is 01:03:00 I had him round the neck and I put him in like a full Nelson okay choked him out if you're doing all that they probably might need to put you back on the field no no no no no no because I heard somebody on the field
Starting point is 01:03:12 boy I'm really yeah but that's unbelievable man Nate congratulations on the big win today congratulations on your season thus far. Now, you know it's not over now because

Starting point is 01:04:03 May Frazier, Georgia running back, 13 carries 52 yards and a touchdown today and a 287 win over Alabama and the SEC championship. Texas Tech, all in best just played off. After the off season, the big spending for the number four Red Raiders secured the first Big 12 championship in program.
Starting point is 01:04:21 history with a resounding 34-7 win over the number 11, BYU Cougars. Texas Tech assembled what can now be called one of the greatest transfer portal classes up in the evolving era of the NIL and transfers in college football, a group of 22 incoming transfer that yielded 11 players who started in the Big 12 title game and for first team, all Big 12 performers. Texas Tech has built ways to believe to be the best. defensive line in college. David Bailey and Romelo
Starting point is 01:04:55 Hype bringing non-stop pressure, Lee Hunter, Scholar Gill Howard, and A.J. Holmes, Jr. Reeking havoc outside, five handpicked players out of the porters who could transfer not just their front, but their entire defense. I love what the
Starting point is 01:05:11 Rodriguez says, hey, if we got the best team money could buy, why did I do the right, why not go ahead and end this thing off the right way? Oh, yeah, definitely. definitely but honestly you know this big 12 championship it almost looked it it was it was one side it was a one-way street similar to the the georgia Alabama game it was almost as if at by you didn't belong there even though they did they earned their right to be in the big 12 championship
Starting point is 01:05:36 but texas tech showed that there's levels they show that there's levels of the game and they showed that it's levels to college football and being in that big 12 championship and showed why they actually made it there um i mean there's not much to talk about, you know, for, for BYU, but for Texas Tech, listen, it was a dominating performance. It was a dominating performance across the goddamn board. When you pay big money for something, don't you expect to get what you pay for? How many times have we seen, how many times have we seen it, Ocho? Somebody, or teams spend big money and they don't get what they paid for. Or you spend big money on something and it wasn't what you thought it would
Starting point is 01:06:15 be. With Texas Tech spent $15, $20 million, this is what I expect. I expect. I expect. I expect to be in the big 10 big 12 championship I expect to win the big 10 big 12 championship and I expect to get to the college football playoffs and do you know what that whatever happens happens but this is what the expectation at the beginning of the season this is why we spent that money that's why we go and get all these guys out of the transfer portal this is why we look started we got a little 22 guys we brought in 11 of them became starters form became first team uh first team all big 12 they're going to have some all americans that Jacob rodriguez he's going to win a lot of us he's going to win a lot of them. he's going to win the buckets he's going to probably win the gursky he's going to probably win all a lot of the wars that goes to the uh uh the best defensive player he's going win it mm-hmm he's going to win it and he earned it he's a hell of a player he nice he's nice boy he's nice he won the buckets yeah yeah because i guess the war so where does the uh uh the The ESP and awards show, the Home Depot award show, that, is that Monday? The next Monday?
Starting point is 01:07:25 No, it comes on to the night, no one comes on during the week. But he, he's a phenomenal player. He's a phenomenal player. He had 13 tackles today, Ocho, a tackle for loss. They had eight tackles for losses. Two sacks, relentless pressure. Are they all the Yeah
Starting point is 01:07:52 So the war show is next Friday Okay The 12th Okay And the Heisman is the 13th Okay Hey um The fight was a draw
Starting point is 01:08:07 Was it? Yeah It just ended it just ended in a draw Oh man You think it would deserve to be a draw? Yes, sir. Hell. A pit bull is a problem,
Starting point is 01:08:26 especially if you're not, if you're not able to not only withstand that pressure to be able to counter off it every time you need to be, because it makes him look like he's winning the fight because he's so goddamn active coming forward. That's all. Yeah, and the fight like that, you've got to be able to fight off your back foot
Starting point is 01:08:44 and very few people can fight off that. Everybody likes to come forward. They like to dictate the fight. That was the one thing about Floyd. Floyd can fight either. How you want to fight? Come forward. And every time you throw,
Starting point is 01:08:54 I'm going to hit you side your damn head. Every time. I'm going to catch you with something. Hey, man, you know, he boom. Hey, he'll body shot, body shot. And then here come a check hook. You throw something, he throws something right back over the top. He was, hey, man, he was.
Starting point is 01:09:09 But, uh, but this, uh, uh, we're going to get to the fight. But Texas Tech, there's advertising. watching them today there's advertised they're as good as advertised and sometimes you know you're looking like man I wonder what this
Starting point is 01:09:24 because it's really my first you know you see a little here and there you watch a little bit of it but today I got an opportunity to sit down and really watch them watch them as advertised they are the real deal they're a real deal
Starting point is 01:09:37 that defense is legit they put so much pressure on you they put you under the rest offensively they ran 41 times for 159 yards The quarterback was 20 and 33, 215, two touchdowns, no interceptions. They're legit. They legit.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Yeah. I mean, I don't know. They're going to get, they're probably going to get one of those buys also, Ocho. I think Indiana definitely get a buy. Georgia will get a buy. Texas Tech will get a buy. I think Ohio State is going to get the other buy. I think Ohio State to get the other buy.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Texas Tech is going to get a buy. are Indiana is going to be the number one overall seed I wouldn't I honestly I wouldn't want no buy you ain't got no choice Ocho I know I know I know what you mean
Starting point is 01:10:28 I know I know they I know they don't have a choice I just the momentum the momentum I don't know everybody has a buy because you got to think about it the season is over now they're not going to play when the first game like the end of December the first game probably not for another two weeks
