Oh, you beat the Michigan Wolverines by the score of 24 to 13. Oh, you really needed this considering the back-to-back years of six and seven. I thought Michigan played really well. Look, they got a really young quarterback.

He just turned 18 years old, Ocho, two weeks ago. I think in the years to come, he'll be good. But he looked like an 18-year-old guy starting in a very hostile environment, missed some throws, took his eye from downfield, and looking at their schedule, if Oklahoma, Johnny, if they can go,

if they can only lose two games with this schedule, they got Texas at South Carolina, they got Ole Miss at Tennessee, at Alabama, and they get LSU coming in. If they can only lose one or two of those games, they're going to the college football playoff. With that schedule,

already beaten Michigan, and you still got number, you got number seven Texas, number 10, South Carolina, number 20, Ole Miss, number 22, Tennessee, and number 21 Alabama, and number three, LSU.

Oh, Cho. They lose one or two of those games, guys. I believe they're going to make the college football playoffs. Yes. What you thinking, Johnny? I mean, it's all right there in front of you. You got to go through the golf. You got to run it.

You got to run it. You said it yourself. Look, you said it yourself. Ranked opponent, ranked opponent, ranked opponent, ranked opponent, all coming up through your own conference. So great test tonight. You play a team that historically, traditionally, very, very good. They did what they needed to do.

I wouldn't say it was anything too out of the box, over the top. Great. But in these type of situations, these type of games, you've got to go out and find a way to win, win. And then you're going to get into a run that starts in the SEC that's going to be like, your back's against the wall. We've got to come out and play. But if you go with two losses throughout this whole schedule

and the way it looks right now on paper, get them in the playoff. Before you go, oh, Joe, think about this. October 11th, they got 10th. Texas, the Red River rivalry. The next week, they're at South Carolina. The next week, they get Ole Miss. The next week, they're at Tennessee. The next week, they're at Alabama.

The next week, they get Missouri at home. And the following week, they get LSU at home. So you got Texas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU. So six of the seven opponents that they face are ranked, and they're all in consecutive weeks. Yes. Looking at Michigan, like I said,

Bryce Underwood, 9 of 20, for 142 yards. He's 18 years of age. He looked 18 years of age. He looked like a guy that's just out of high school, starting for a top-ranked team on the road and a hostile environment. And Brett Venable has made much more accomplished quarterbacks.

Juniors and seniors look bad. So I'm not surprised that he did this to Bryce Underwood. But Michigan has a very favorable schedule, schedule. They get central Michigan at Nebraska, Wisconsin at home, at USC, Washington at home, Michigan State on the road, Purdue, Northwestern, Maryland, and then they get Ohio State at home. So they have a very favorable schedule. I thought Michigan has some opportunities in this game. They got a phase mask, the game of first down, late in the ball game, learn them burn more time off the clock. But don't you're looking at this game, looking at Michigan. Do you like what you see with Michigan?

You think they can be a contending team? I like what I saw from Michigan. Obviously, they've always been a running team. I would have liked the coach to have done something different, even though you have a freshman quarterback. If you see that the running game isn't working, lean on your quarterback to be able to make some other plays, maybe outside of the pocket, rolling them out,

playing two or strengths a little bit more to get them a little more comfortable. The Oklahoma defense is very good. They were very good. So you have to be able to counter that and make the necessary adjustments to give your team and quarterback the best chance offensively. to get you in the game. Because what you were trying to do wasn't working,

especially the running game. And they continue to stay with the same thing because I felt the coach felt, listen, we're handicapped in a sense where we can't really open the playbook as much as we want because of what you just said,

having a rookie quarterback, and there's only so much we can do. The thing that I didn't like about what I saw from Michigan, Johnny, and also let me know what you think, is that they're running them slow developing ass pulling plays and the backside end chasing it down. I'm like, bro,

you can't, you cannot run that against these teams because they're going to chase it. They're going to chase it down every time. I mean, they will stop at the guy in the backfield for two to three yard losses every time. Yeah. You got to hit some of those quicker, quicker hitting, quicker inside zone, just like get on the ball, get some movement, get going. Anything when that starts to happen, you're dragging ass.

You play with no sense of urgency. You play with no pace. It's an urgency. It's an emergency, no pace. I agree. I just think, Ocho, and you said you don't want to see more. They were pretty balanced, Ocho, 24 passes, 32 rush attempts. And the thing that you want to do, you want to try to protect the Ocho, for a guy that's a dual-threat quarterback,

he was the number one recruit in the country. Have you been noticing a lot of these dual-threat quarterbacks don't throw rail on the move? Well, if you can't throw well on the move, it's going to be very difficult for you to beat these teams. And we saw this today with Colorado and we're going to probably talk about this a little later. They ended up going to the third screen quarterback because Salter can't throw on the move. I'm like, these throws are routine, bro. You've got to hit some of them. I'm not saying you got to be 10 for 10.

But damn, you can't be 0 for 10. Right, right, right, right. But no, I'm saying you said you wanted them to throw the ball more. Ocho, the dude with 9 or 24. I can see Ocho, if he was 15 or 24, he was 16 to 24, he was 16 to 24. He died of 24. Do you know how bad that is? That's not even 50%.

What's 9 of 24? 45%, 42%, Yeah. I actually do know how bad it is. That's why I was saying make him a little bit more comfortable, do some of the things predicated to his skill set.

If you have a dual threat quarterback and he's not really that good, dropping back in the pocket and being able to see things and processing information from the traditional spot, roll his ass out. So he has a good eye line so we can see what's in front of him. So we can make the necessary throws where he doesn't have to sit there and read a defense.

You do realize that when you roll a quarterback out, you take it until basically you removed half the field. You remove half the field. You have to be not able to play. You're not able to play seeing the whole field. In the process of doing that, Ocho, we just said he don't look very accurate on the move. So we put them on the move to do what? you know just get him one of those plays with a little handoff and come out where you just come out is so wide open you just can hand it to the motherfucker yeah just hand it was that's what

put a bow on it from whipped cream and what we got to get a little bit of like you've got to give him something when you get into an offense like that I don't care if you're you know a high school guy that's just coming in when you open that playbook up and you see it for the first time You're like, yo, I like stick. I like slants. Whatever you like, there's something where the ball gets snapped to you in your hands and you catch it and you immediately based off instinct, based off everything you've done playing football.

You're going to whiz that thing out there and you know you can get a completion. So in that situation with a guy starting like that in this type of game, you have to put him in situations and play calls that allow him to do that to where it's no thought no read just bang instant and the funny thing about it too on

when you get a quarterback that's that young freshman 18, 17 how old he might be playing against a team like Oklahoma that's ranked with players

that are very very good defensively in all three phases whether it be the front second line or the back line you want to get him in rhythm

you want to get him in rhythm early you want to build his confidence early I'm not going to let him get in a rhythm I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm. He's 18. So what am I going to do? I'm going to heat his ass up.

I'm going to put him on the stove and I'm going to start. I'm going to start from the moment he on the stove, I'm boiling. I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm because I know that's what, look, they want to establish the run. We are going to stop the run. We are going to make this 18 year old beat us on the road. There haven't been very many 18 year old college freshman quarterbacks that's ever been able to go on the road in a hostile environment, like an unconstile environment,

like in an SEC game and win on the road. I'm not going to let you get him comfortable, because I'm not going to let you run the ball because now if you run the ball, you can play action pass off of it. I am going to heat his ass up. You got to.

And Johnny, you know that. Even you saw what they tried to do. What you did is that you punished Alabama. Every time they brought the blitz, you made them pay for it because you was coming out of the backside. Hey, you make that first. got missed and you're like okay you don't miss now so I got at least 15 yards before everybody the crowd start yelling and screaming and people get their heads back around to see me

I'm chasing the wide receiver I ain't going to throw him the ball right so when you got an 18 when you got an 18 year old true freshman playing at Oklahoma and the way Brent Venables can get after you you know he's a pressure DC that's what he's always being that's what he's always going be he ain't let no 18 year old get comfortable The thing about that is, like, when the kitchen gets hot and the pans are flaming and bursting around, and there's fireworks going off and shit in the kitchen, and you're in the pocket, I love that. Like, that's where my, like, best, that's where my best football decided to come out and be played off of natural instance. So, of course, Venables being a guy who played against him, they did it to us when we were at Texas A&M.

Didn't work for them. Nevertheless, you get a kid like this. I had a red shirt year under my belt. this is a guy coming straight fresh out a lot of hype a lot now we're in there a lot of money a lot of like there's heavy heavy weight behind what this kid's coming into so all and all as a program for Michigan I still think they're going to be set up for success in the future but but for a night like tonight like listen you're playing an oh you team this is legacy history a good program and one that didn't have the year they wanted to have last year they're coming

for some they're coming to play some ball they are and brent vettable knows his job is on the table uh uh he uh gave a little money back to say okay look i'm i'm bought in he understands it six and seven is not good enough at oh you it's not that's a very proud historic program they've won national championships they have as many highsman trophy winners as anybody in the country and that's a proud university and six and seven ain't going to cut it not at that university not in the SEC, not in the big eight, not in the big 12, not in any conference they've ever been in. Oklahoma wants to be at the top of that pyramid.

When you look up there and you see the Alabama's, you see the Ohio states, and you see all those great university, Oklahoma pride themselves on being that. They played for national championship. They've been in that game. They've won that. They have great coaches. You look at the coaches that they've had for Bud Wilkinson, rest of soul,

57 game winning street, three national championships. championships you got barren switzerland who started to wishbone you got a bob stoop they ain't accepting anything less than that johnny uh hey norman's not an easy place to walk into and play too we we uh we went there my red shirt year and i was on the bench their benches are really close to the sideline people in the front row i don't know if you've been down to oklahoma but yeah i have a i have a bit i'll tell you some shit over there They'll say some shit over there on your sideline. So I know being a redshirt freshman in that first year,

you're kind of seeing all these games and all these places. You know, Norman was a place where if you ain't really walked into a lot of stadiums before and you're sitting there and that they're really close to you. They're on your fucking head all night. So I know he felt it tonight for sure. And the thing is, look, they weren't always in the SEC, but the one thing we know about SEC football, those fans are ravenous. And it fits, I mean, Oklahoma and Texas,

it fits because their fan base is ravenous. What else are you going to do in Norman, Oklahoma, besides go watch a college football game? What else are you going to do in Austin, Texas, besides go watch a college football town? Those are college football towns. So if Tuscaloosa in Birmingham, Alabama, so is Knoxville, Tennessee, so is Starkville and all those others.

You go back and look at it in the SEC. Every team that plays in the SEC, where their school is situated, The only thing they have is college football. Now, you can drive down if you at the University of Athens is like an hour, hour and 15 minute drive to what, but that is a college town. So it's Columbia, South Carolina. So when you look at all these schools, those fan bases, that's the South.

Football rule the South. I'll give it to what you bring down there. You can bring, hey, you can bring the Yankees. They're not going to outdraw a college football. team. It's just the way it is. And to ask him to go into this environment, I do think, Johnny, next year this time,

he'll be better equipped. He'd be all right. Different story. Yeah. Totally agree. Totally agree. Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient. Still using yesterday's tech, upgrade to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Ultra light, ultra powerful,

I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Brightside podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian, World Cup champion, and podcast host, Ashlyn Harris. My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize

is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues, and I was like, this is it. For me, it's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey. It's the people. It's It's the failures. It's the heartache. Listen to the bright side on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When Colorado's offense stalled, Coach Brim skipped over his backup Julian Lewis, turned to third string, Ryan Stob, and Stubb.

Stubb went 7 to 10, 157, 2 touchdown after taking over for starter, Cain Salter. Coach Brimes' explanation after the game, I wanted it to tell its own story instead of me telling the story I wanted it to tell its own story the plan was going to be each quarterback gets two series apiece

they did and somebody was going to come out of the pack Johnny it's not normal that we see something like this but are you surprised that coach prime did this and can he continue or has he found this starting quarterback listen I think the one thing that you we us collectively

obviously know about Prime is he's going to get a guy in that position that can do what needs to be done for the overall collective of the team, whether it's X, Y, or fucking Z. Somebody's going to get on that field and do what we need to do to move the ball down the field and get this offense going and he's going to oversee the whole thing. That's the one thing about it. So, hey, you're not getting it done. It's early in the season. We're in week one, two, three, you're early.

You're going to get your reps because how much can you really tell? from training camp. How much can you really tell from spring ball when they blow the whistle and the sacks and the rah-rah bullshit that goes on in practice? What can you really tell? So get out there, live bullets are firing.

That's, you come out, you play, what we say last week? That's what, I think that's what Coach Prime, look, the cream going to rise to the top. And so I wanted, I wanted to see. And like I said, Caden Salter,

Coach Prime say he's a dual threat and really a dual threat. He can move. But bro, he misses entirely too many throws, Ocho. I'm talking about guys wide open. And I'm not talking about, look, I'm not talking about no difficult throws. These are throws.

A guy of his caliber should be able to make routinely. Yes, go ahead, Ocho. No, I was going to say, obviously with Prime, especially in the situation, I don't care who you playing. I don't care if you're playing the sisters of the North. I don't care if you're playing the Holy Spirit. There are certain throws that he has to make, being the starting quarterback.

For one, you're playing for Coach Prime. Two, you plan for Colorado. Three, you have to understand that everything you do, being the face of that team now, especially being the quarterback, you have to do everything the right way to give yourself and your team the best chance to win. What we saw today was not it. That was not it. I have a question for you, too, and you two, who were they, who was Colorado?

playing. Delaware. There should be no reason. No disrespect to Delaware. There should be no reason that the coach has to go to another player. You can't go to the third street quarterback. At the most important position on the field. I agree. There's no reason. I agree. Hey, we're going to find somebody. We can find somebody if you can come out of stands. Come on. Come on. You can throw the pick's game? Come on. Again, Johnny, again, Delaware? Come on now.

This is the game we're supposed to be your confidence. This is the game we're supposed to put up big numbers, big yards to be your confidence going up into week three. Yeah, it's supposed to be a game. Utah beat Cal Poly, 63-9. Texas Tech beat Kent State, 62-14. Indiana beat Kennesaw State 569. Tennessee beat East Tennessee State, 72-17. Alabama beat Louisiana Monroe, 73-0.

That's what's supposed to happen with CU today versus Delaware. Yeah. That's why you schedule those type of games. We've had those games before when you come out. Sometimes when you play opponents like that, though, at times, and you know what you're supposed to do, and it's pre-planned and pre-rolled for you to go out and do it, sometimes it's something in the air,

something makes it a little bit different where you overlook it or you just not on your P's and Q's to the base of your ability. And you can let it slip a little bit. And that's what happened today because, you know, you look at the score and what it is. They're still in the water feeling around trying to get your footing a little bit for sure is where that team is at right now. Even if we, first of all, the third string quarterback plays because we're up 50 to nothing.

That's why he plays. We don't bring the third screen quarterback in Johnny to give us a spark. I can honestly say this I've never seen this before and that I think if I'm not mistaken I think isn't Delaware an FCS or they're division one I think the FCFs now

subdiv whatever subdivision whatever they call it not trying to be disrespectful but I think that's what Delaware that's what Delaware is and they got a check Shannon they got a check from that school oh yeah you got you got a

they probably played them a meal a meal two I have a question too when it comes to the schools like this where's the Power 5 playing the smaller schools and the smaller schools get that check does it go strictly to the athletic department on? Yeah.

Okay, but I'm just curious. Look, there's some schools that look, I just, you know what, Ocho, I want to win the Powerball for the simple reason. In 2026 and 27, no HBCU will pay a Power 5 school. I'm not, you're not going to get beat embarrassed to get 500,000 or a million dollars. I'm going to give you a million five.

I'm going to give you two million dollars. I'm going to give each of you guys $2 million, not to schedule these. Because what is doing on your show is not helping the club. I understand it's helping your athletic budget, but you're getting your kids embarrassed. They don't, they don't have no right, no business being on the school, being on the field with those guys to go out there and get beat 77 nothing to get beat 70 to three. What is that doing, Ocho? Yeah.

Hey, who, that was Florida State today, right? Florida State beat somebody 70, 7.7-3? Yes. And that's, ah, man. Okay, this is Delaware's first year. No, shout out. Delaware is FBS now, guys. Yes.

Yes. Okay. Um, yeah, you shouldn't, you should, look, and I understand, look. I mean, hey, Oklahoma State got a check and Oregon put $69. on them. But you know, Bethune Cookman, Savannah State, Grambling, when you go play Ohio, Ocho, Bethune and Ohio State, really? You really? Yeah. I mean, I don't even know. They probably took it off because a lot of what they started doing was taking them, taking them off the board.

We and I going to even bet this game. Savannah State going a couple of years ago playing Oklahoma State and get beat 77, nothing. They played Miami, get beat 84. What is that? And you get that. Guess what? Now they give you 500,000, 700,000. Hey, you got to bring your ban. Because your travel is, you got to pay for your own travel. Out of the money that they, oh, hell, no, man. Because that's why I want to win the lottery.

I want to win the lottery because I want to give every historically black institution. I say, I'm giving y'all $2 million not to take these damn games and get your players embarrassed because it does nothing for them. But all it does is make these schools that's playing you. If they're alumni, like, oh, we beat such and such, come on, man. Yeah, but Bob, obviously, you know what, you know, the funny thing about it too long is those games have to be scheduled. Those games have to be scheduled for a reason

because there's no other place for that money to come to. Revenue is not flowing through HBCU program. No, no, that's why they look forward to these games scheduled against Power 5 schools because there's a huge chunks that can help the program, whether it be academic or athletic. Let me ask your question. You want to sponsor, you want to beat somebody,

you want to attach yourself to somebody that got beat 77-0, 80-4-0. I'm just asking. I mean, you got to think FAMU always has to play university. They don't have to. I mean, we ain't won the Powerball yet. We ain't won the main thing yet. I think the thing is, look.

Don't put that in the air. We won that bitch. I think, I think the thing is, oh, Cho, is that it's the same thing that Prime ran into it at Jackson State. 60,000 people in the stands. and everybody bought tickets and all of a sudden we only, we only raised 20,000. Hmm.

That's that's, that's, that's the issue. Right. Like I said, we're going to win the powerball and I'm going to fix this. I can't fix it for ever, but I'm going to fix it for two years, though, Chil. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I'm going to fix it. I'm going to fix it for two years.

You got who a family. Don't even worry about it. You were taking Miami off the schedule. Here's two million. Stay home. on schedule somebody. Go play Savannah State. Go play Edward Water.

Go play more. Get your girlfriend, something. Yeah, for sure. Hey, you know what I'm saying, Ocho? We're going to start our own bowl. We're going to have a nightcap bowl. Right. We got a nightcap bowl, little, Joe.

Hold on, hold on, you just, you just, you just, come on, you got my brain thinking that. What we talk about, Savannah State versus Span. Hey, hey, we have us a nightcap bowl. We have a nightcap bowl and a club, Shet, bowl. So that's two games right now. Hey, get a minute.

I'll pay y'all guys a million dollars a cup play, the play in the club, Shea She Bowl and the Nightcap Bowl. I like that. I'm for real. But going back to this game, I mean, you need your third stringer to give you a spark

against Delaware at home. Yeah. Now, to me, I, uh, uh, stop, uh, better. He looked better today than Saulter did at any point in time, the first game or today. He looked better in a little bit that I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, he came in, look, he was, he was, he was, he was great.

Ain't no way around it. He was great. And I was surprised that coach put, put Salter back in the game. Go ahead, don't you? Well, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I know why he put him back in the game, huh? His confidence. He put him back in the game simply for his confidence, because that he feels he is quarterback number one. There's a reason he had to put him back in the game. Okay, you know what, son? You didn't play well in the beginning of the game. I had to go to quarterback two and three so we can get a little spark. So we get a little bit, a little bit momentum and consistency.

But this is your job. I'm going to allow you to go back in so you can prove yourself so you can get a better understanding on what I need out of you. This is what I need out of you. With other, well, not two. What number three was able to come in and do. That's what I need. That's why he put him back in the game

because he still feels he's the quarterback to continue to lead them down next week, week three, week four, and so on. And if he plays bad again and not able to do the routine things, the routine things that quarterbacks should be able to do with their goddamn eyes closed,

you're coming out the game. And the next time you take him out, he ain't going back in. No, I'm just being honest. I believe it. From a coaching standpoint and from a player who's played the game, if he take you out twice, you're not going back in the game because you know if you do what you're supposed to i ain't even i ain't even looking at this i ain't even looking to stop yeah yeah absolutely i ain't even looking to put

nobody else in there ain't going hell of that i know you got this taken care of what what you think tell me johnny what you think in a situation like that let's just say for the sake of argument this is you johnny this is before obviously if you johnny football that ain't going to happen but just say before you became johnny football you're johnny you the starter and then coach pulls you out and you see the either the backup or the third third stringer comes in there and he drives him down there and he those two guys that one of those guys look better leading the team that you did what's going through your mind yeah i think the one thing about college athletics is when you get in you come in together and you get in

that quarterback room there was no at least in my situation there was no animosity between the one the two the three the four and the walkout we were tight knit we were really close. So I got hurt against Auburn. I had to go down below the stadium, get a shot to try and come back. Matt Jokul came on the field, let us on a couple drives. Like, I think for our morale and our situation, like, and in this one currently, you want to have a great QB room, not one that's pins and needles and really kind of going at each other. Oh, man, you're not thinking in your head. Oh, am I going to get a play? Is this my chance? this, this, you have so much stuff that could be going through your mind.

You want to have great camaraderie, great, you know, cohesiveness between your quarterback room where, hey, listen, we are the guys, four, five, six guys, whatever it may be in this quarterback room that makes this whole ship run. We have to be together. So if it's Salter, we need you to go. If you're going and you're taking us down, you're driving us, amazing. We need that. And eventually, this will play itself out in a way to where.

Everybody on the team, the O-Lyman, the left tackle, whatever it may be, rallies behind the guy because they see that little spark, and they will rally behind him, and it will present itself, and they will, it's just like a horse. You got to tie up with somebody. So they'll find somebody. And in this little early season moment, you'll look back at it and be like, okay, trying to find our footing. Now we latch on, we go. Yeah. next week what do we see

Salter so it's still it's still still the same one two and three stays the same yeah absolutely Salter Salter starts next week matter of fact this this is going to tell you

it's going to tell you the whole story I think they play Houston they do they play Houston on Friday night Houston not that bad on not to be a test is Houston not that bad so now now you get now you get to If he goes out there and he plays bad

and he puts the team in in uncomfortable positions where they don't have a chance to win or things aren't going right offensively, Prime is going to make that change. He's going to make that change again and he's going to make it a lot sooner. He's going to make it a lot sooner this time.

It starts on Monday, right? It starts on that first week of practice setting the talk, getting ready, get right. Like you got to, you know what it is. You saw it play itself out. You were sitting there on the, sideline is you're not playing you're watching the team go down you that gives you a sense of urgency that's a kick in the ass that you need so when monday comes around and they run out the ones

for the team period you're up you better fucking latch on to that take that practice week really really really serious yeah and get ready to go because houston's not just going to roll over and i think the thing that i love that that prime did is that like bro i understand how this look and how this might upset you and your feelings, but right now, I'm trying to win a football game. Feelings don't win football games, aren't? They don't. No, they don't. And Prime understands that playing at the level, coaching at that level, he understands he's been a coach. He's coached high school football, Jackson State, now see you. He understands. And a lot of times, sometimes coaches are afraid to, to hurt the starters feelings. And sometimes they stay

longer with that guy than maybe they should. I want to give a coach some credit for going to make this decision because I promise you it wasn't an easy decision. Well, I know one thing. When the Colorado Buffalo's lose,

you know who gets the bulk of the the bulk of the hate. The head coach. They're not going to be talking about. The quarterback, Coach Prime for them to be in the news. Coast Prime is going to be in the media. So making that decision at the quarterback position and making a move to one that can give us a better chance to win,

it's easy because of the bull drive he got to deal with if they do lose. So it's going to be a very interesting situation moving forward. We'll see how this thing plays out. But Johnny, like you said, hey, they'll still this Monday leading into the week. Things could change. But I agree with both of you guys. I think Salter stays the starter. I don't think this thing.

I think this thing is written in pencil. It's not written in Sharpie. It's not written in permanent ink. Right. You don't rate some thing. Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient.

Listen to the bright side on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Florida inexplicably loses to University of Southern Florida, 1816. This is the second week. They went on the road. I think they went on the road last week, and they beat Boise State, number 25, Boise State. They come home and they're in-state. They go down to Gainesville, and they beat Florida. Man, Billy Napier.

Johnny Go ahead, go ahead, Ocho, go here, go here. I was just going to ask you, Johnny, Johnny, what happened to the Florida that I love? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What? He ain't opening that wide, Johnny. No, Johnny, he'll open it like this here.

I know you, hey, hey, you either gator or gator bait. Now people eating gator tail. They're eating gator now. I don't, I don't understand what happened. When I think about the Florida teams, especially collegiate of the 90s in the 2000s, the early 2000s, with Florida, Miami, and Florida State were the schools to be and be at,

especially from a competitive level. No matter who you're playing every week, you got some dogs coming out of every week. Regardless of what- Where is Jeremiah Smith? Where is he from? Oh, you're from. Okay, the Williams kid that's in Alabama. Where is he from?

Florida, right? Yeah, where's he at? He's at Alabama, right? You see what happens when you keep letting your in-state, your best in-state players leave? Now, you've got to think about it. It's Miami, it's Florida, it's Florida State. If you could just recruit the state of Florida,

you'll be fine. But you can't keep them now because you got Ohio State, you got Alabama, you got Tennessee, you got other big teams that's willing to pay to get those kids. So where they got Tim Tebow's and they got the Percy Harvins and they got the Channing Cross. Hey, they got to Joe Hayden's. Mm-mm.

Those guys, bye-bye. Because guess what? Because like you said, Ocho, they're no longer competing for national titles. I'm going to Alabama. I'm going to Georgia. I'm going to Ohio State. I'm going to Michigan. I'm going to where they're going to compete for titles.

They're not competing for titles. They're not close in Florida now. listen to how we just started this segment 20 years ago 10 years ago you wouldn't believe it University of South Florida beats Florida Gators. I wouldn't have bleed it, no. Nobody believe in that.

Nobody believe in that. My, how the time's changed. But congratulations to the University of South Florida. What'd you think, it, Johnny? Man, I'm thinking And, you know, a lot of, a lot of hype around DJ Lagway, around this team, around this, like, Florida will always be Florida because of what they have done in the past. You know, watching A&M football over the years, seen, we had to slip up a couple years ago. Appalachian State came in early in the season and beat us as I'm sitting there on Twitter.

I'm egg on my face. every corner of the world like so it happens you can be walking down the street somebody come up and slap you on the backside of head catch you slipping a little bit um but this mentality in this um way the program is being run right now as far as as a whole i don't think anybody that that wears the florida colors my boys joe keem no uh chandler parsons joe and all these die-hard Gator boys. Yeah. You did.

Because this is a tough pill to swallow tonight. That's not, Ocho, that's not the U. That's not FSU. That's not FSU. That's not tennis. That's the Bulls, maybe. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Hold on, hold on.

What you mean? It's not the U. No, I'm saying, no, that's not the team that beat you. that's South Florida. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, I see, I got you. I got you.

I got you. I got you. But I'm expecting, I'm expecting Florida. Have you seen Florida State the past two weeks? Have you seen a University of Miami the past two weeks? Well, what the hell is going on down, right down the street in Gainesville? At some point, you should be improving too, just like everyone else. Are your two other sister schools that aren't too far away from you?

how are you regressing as a program and losing to the University of South Florida and no disrespect to them but it's not supposed to happen. I want to stand correct that Ryan Williams is from Alabama. He's an in-state kid that stayed in state. He and Jeremiah Smith was thinking about going to Ohio

State together and he wanted to rise Jeremiah Smith to come to Alabama. Jeremiah Smith wanted him to come to Ohio State. He stayed in state Jeremiah Smith. But you go back and look at you look at They let the guy that just retired from the Raiders. Armari Cooper, South Florida Kid. Mark Cooper.

Calvin Ridley, South Florida kid. Jerry Judy, South Florida kid. They're all from the bottom. You see, they let the all, that's, you know, Florida used to have receivers. Now, the one thing they did have, they had receivers. Yeah, yeah, back to back. Anthony, Carlwell, they had receivers. Ike Hilliard.

They used to have receivers out of the union. They had running backs out of the yin-A. Fred Taylor. Another one. You know, speaking on this game still, too, Myron Brown, USF, 23 at 36, 263 in a tutty, and a little 66 on the ground. We're going to go for over 300 going into Florida's place.

Man, mad props, mad respect. Go in and have a game like that. played really well against the obviously team in the country. You're right. Yeah, you got to give them some love, man. That's a hell of a game. Good. Props to the young man.

You're absolutely right. I'll hear this right here. The US, US, a US and in Florida. I mean, this, you paid them. They probably got a good, they got a cool million.

That'd be like, Hey, Ocho, that'd be like paying somebody $500 and slap hell out you. Nah, hell, nah. You paid this team a million out to come down there and put foot senior these are the type of team that florida schedule for home come here i'm like man come on hey johnny oh joe man y'all know hey at a big school

hey we are when you put something when you schedule that obviously it's not a homecoming game but when you schedule somebody for homecoming you're supposed to win you got all this alumni coming back the students that don't even normally go to games they're going to come to the game they want to see a dog i guarantee you when they put us us f on the schedule. They're like, oh, yeah, this is a dove for us. This is a dove. They probably checked it off soon as they saw the schedule.

Soon as they saw the schedule, there's certain team that you look at. Oh, we got this. This ain't nothing. But what? No turnover. South Florida didn't turn it over. So, and they took them all away from Langway once. 31 for 143.

Langway was 23 of 33, 222. So he didn't play bad. But they had to South Florida. had 263 passing, another 128 on the ground. Two things that jumped off to me. You lose the turnover battle, even though it's plus one or minus one, whatever you want to call it, and penalties. I mean, 103 yards and penalties, too.

So two things in a game like that that comes down to be, you know, three scores for each team-ish, you know, turnovers and penalties come down to be a lot of the nitty-gritty of what it comes down to. Neither team was really great on third down. South Florida was six of 16. the gators were four 12. Nothing right home about.

The gators possessed the ball almost nine more minutes. But like you said, Johnny, the great equalizer are penalties. So when you have, what, 28 more yard, two more and 28 more yards and penalties, you bring a team that maybe you're better than you bring them up to your level or you creep down to their level. And South Florida goes in there and that's great for their program. so guys looking like, hey, we play Florida's, and guess what, we beat them. So just because you go to, hey, just cause you go down there, that don't mean you're going to win. You can stay right here with the bulls, and we got that.

But from this game, Florida's defensive tackle, Brendan Bette was ejected for spinning in the face of an opponent in the final drive of the upset lost the USF, bat sped in the face of South Florida offensive lineman Cole Skinner. Ocho, is this a new thing? Is this a new thing? Maybe they were doing it, Ocho, and we didn't have the cameras around to be able to see it, but what, we just saw this Thursday night, and I'm sure he saw it. It's been everywhere, so everybody's seen it by now. He turned right, he's been in the guy's face.

I don't, I don't understand. Listen, knowing that cameras are out there, coaches can see you. there's a camera at every angle there's a camera in the sky there's a camera on the sideline there's a camera in the north and south end zone you can't get away with nothing

you can't get away with anything the referees out there so I'm not sure how angry are you getting listen South Florida whooped them up and down the field all night long

so there's the frustration there's the frustration where it boils over to that point man I got a good story my first start SEC we played Arkansas we played them at home it was one of these

raining torrential downpour games we're kicking the shit out of them at halftime we come out in the second half run the ball I get tackled big pile mosh up bottom of the pile this dude I hear him too oh come oh joddy spit it spit through my face mask

all over my face for the rest of my life will never forget that ever. I got up and just looked at old boy like you're mad. You're big mad. It happens. But to see it in the NFL game, no, it's plastered all over social media everywhere. They're going to come out and do it again. Like, some people just go. I'm going to say this old job and let you go. If you spit on somebody, whatever they do to you after that, I'm cool with. Right. Even on the field of play?

If you spit on, if you spit on someone on the football field in the mall, walking down the street, whatever they do to you after you spit on them, I'm cool with. I got you, I got you, I got you. And you know what I don't like to, for a player, any player that does spit, not the person that's receiving it, but the one who is responsible for doing the spitting, that stays with you forever. Yeah.

I'll definitely get that. The rest of my life, I'll be my 85 years old. I ain't never really what that felt like, what it smelled, all of it. That's it. And you know it's going to affect everything, especially if he's a prospect, too, going to the draft, huh? They can remember that.

I guess there's another defensive lineman from the University of Florida, Jamari Lyons. He was ejected for spinning on an opponent in 2023 during the game against Florida State. I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, because I just, I just can't, I just can't fathom. And I look, we've all been really, really mad. We've all been really, really

upset. But I'm, the thing, the thing that's going through my mind is not to like spit on somebody because I'm saying whatever somebody does, look, I might not be able to control your actions, but I can control the consequences from your actions. So you get to control one or the other. You get to control the actions. Someone else gets to control the consequences. If you spin on somebody on the football field,

you spit on somebody, again, outside of the football field. Whatever that person does to you, I'm cool with. good with it yeah no big one takeaway huge for this week I thought

my favorite game of the day that I watched all day you guys tap into the Baylor SMU game

I saw that I saw hey hey Johnny and my nephew my nephew play for

SMU Ramello Brunson okay hey that was I thought the SMU had

unbelievable two minute drive by Bayler shout up Jake Spavittal my guy my old OC at Texas A&M. Unbelievable two-minute drive

through a nice little seam route, a little beater to take it into O-T. O-T. Baylor goes down and scores. First play from SMU, dot on a fade ball right out of the gate. Couldn't get it in on their second possession. But, man, shout out to Baylor.

That was a really, really good game. Me and KD were sitting out here in Paris locked into that game watching how it unfolded. So I think that was my favorite game of the weekend for sure. Well, if you like points, if you like getting up and down the field, which most of us do because we're on the opposite side of the football, it's hard not to like that for the simple fact, like you said, 48, 45. So that's what people come to the ball game to see.

They don't want to see all that. Oh, 13, 10, and 21, 20. Nah, I want to see some points. And the more overtime, the better. Yeah. If you want to see some funny shit, watch Iowa State try and score a touchdown with a minute and a half left on the clock in a football game. They don't know what the hell's going on when they have to throw that thing.

Bad, I was like, bad. This was a, uh, all I've tried to pull the, uh, I know we got more, the, uh, Baylor SMU. It was just up, but I hit it and something else came on. Sawyer Robertson, 30, uh, 3450 for 440 and 4. See? okay

back-to-back weeks bawling but you know the Baylor the thing first of all SMU going to put points

on the board Baylor's going to put points on the board uh-huh he keeps doing that that's what I did no he did the same thing you hit Baylor

and that's what came that's what came up uh it's going to be it's like I said I love if you love points watch a Baylor game

because they're going to on score and it's going to be hard for them to prevent someone from score. So you go get, you go get probably a game that's going to go late into the fourth quarter, and it's probably going to be a field goal or a touchdown game one way or the other. Syracuse head coach Fran Brown made his team run sprints after winning 2720 versus Yukon. Ocho, Johnny, have you ever seen anything like this? Have you ever been a part of something like this? I've seen something like that at the high.

level. I see something like that. When I played pee-wee, when I played for Liberty City Optimus, or I played for Miami Lakes Optimus, you know, when things aren't going well, and I've never seen it happen after a game. It's always something that you do during practice or after practice. Or maybe, you know what,

your teacher calls and tells your mama, your grades ain't up the par. You've been getting in trouble in class. You're disturbing. Your coach put you through gassers as punishment. Suicides, whatever you want to call it. But after a game at the collegiate level?

No, uh, no. No, I've never seen anything like that. I wouldn't want my, I wouldn't want my teacher to call my grandma and tell them up by my grade because my grandma going to come up to school and tell your ass up. So that'll be work. I'd rather run gasses. Did it have my teacher tell me to run gasses?

Because I already know what happened if Mary Porter was going to come up there. Ocho, I remember I told you the story, John. I told Ocho the story, we lost the game on a Saturday. And coach told us after the game, he said, since y'all ain't hit nobody with it, y'all, these uniforms y'all ain't get them dirty we're gonna get them dirty tomorrow we're gonna practice tomorrow so we got so that same uniform he said oh wash them because there ain't nothing wrong with these they're not dirty they're not musty they're not stink so have them have these jerse hanged up hung up in their locker and we're gonna practice and so we practice

that man you're talking about it's like damn even being 20 years old i was still i think i was no i was 19 i was still sore because i just played the game i just played 60 70 plays and to come right back out there and put the, put the paths on, we play bad in the rain, coach, we're at the whole field. We go out there and practice. In the rain. You know what it is, though? I'm sitting here, I'm telling you guys from spring ball, in the summer, into training camp,

I keep saying the same things. Y'all keep doing it. Keep doing something wrong. I'm preaching. I'm preaching. I'm letting you know as I stand up in front of this team. media in front of you. This is how we're going to do things. Oh, you boys don't want to listen? This is the game. Jass on the line.

I know where he's coming from. I get it. I mean, do you want to do it? But I guarantee you what? When they get on that bus and you can hear a pin drop on the bus on the way back to the plane or wherever they're going? They were home. That message is going to be received. Yeah, Syracuse was at home. You can't. Okay, at home. You're going to be taking your You're taking your car back to the crib. Your girlfriend ain't talking to you. Man, fuck him, bro. That sucked.

That's it, man. I mean, it's embarrassing. It's just like anything. I mean, you know, because a lot of times we didn't go into the locker room, Ocho. We would go down in the corner of the end zone, especially if we weren't winning. Now, if we were winning, coach, we'd take us in the end zone. But if we weren't winning and coach is doing this, you know, if somebody doing that, you getting ringed out.

He mowed us and so being us. I'm like, Lord, have mercy. All the thing I'm going through my mind, he ain't talking to me because I got nine for a buck 20 or two touchdowns. So he ain't talking to me. That's the only way I can get through it, though, Cho. Right, right, right.

We only got one heartbeat. But see, I have to tell myself that because my grandmother never spoke to me like that. And I feel some type of way if people, somebody called me out of my name. So I'm just telling myself, he's not talking to you. So it's okay. He might be looking at you, but he's not talking to you.

So that's what I'm telling myself, oh, Joe. I understand he has to do it for the betterment of the team. That's why I always did the right thing, because I didn't want someone to think that I could do wrong, but they had to do right. No, I'm going to do right. So everybody, and so now, well, hell, if Sharp does it, we got to do it. But if Sharpe says, no, we're not going to do that. Well, we're going to rally behind him. And so I understood, I understood coaches, you know, frame of reference, Johnny,

because I told Ocho also that we used to jump outside and coach would make everybody run. Even the people that wasn't even on the plate. Ocho would say, yeah, we haven't had the one. No, it doesn't matter. You on the sideline. If you're on office and you jump off sides, give me a lap. Give me a lap. but yeah

look I bet he got their attention yeah because the last thing you want to do is after you've played in most college probably most colleges you're going to probably play 60 80 plays I'm looking at this Baylor game Johnny they had 94 recorded plays

they had two receivers they'll go over buck go over buck 40 buck 45 one had 9 for 151 the other had 10 for 145 and 115 yard rushing You would like Baylor. You would like the bailout.

It thought like crazy. What's the receiver? What's the receiver went to Baylor? And it really didn't pan out in the NFL. He went really early. He played in Cleveland. Very early. Cory Coleman?

Cory Coleman was the first-ride draft pick. Didn't he go to, he went to, what you call him, though? Didn't he go to Tennessee first? I don't know. He went to that team. I don't really talk about it no more after last week. He went to Cleveland. He went to Cleveland.

What did you call it, Cleveland, Cleveland? Oh, Josh Gore. Josh Gore, hey, he was the real deal. You don't tell me nothing. Hey, Josh was the real deal. Yeah. Who was that? There was another bailor receiver to play for the Cowboys.

My dog, what the fuck's his name? It was cold. Tarynx. Terrence Williams. Yeah. Gee. Good player. Yeah.

Good route runner. I got some dogs that came through there for sure. uh joddy we're going to get you out of here on this one uh an alabama fan says she'd know what she would do if she won the powerball let's take a listen to what she said what would you do if you won the big powerball jackpot i'd tell you exactly what i'd do with the first 70 million i'd pay off kael and get him the heck out of the university of alabama and then i'd take whatever else it took to get rid of the ad old burn i don't like him either. So they're ruining our football program. I'd give my church money. I don't know how much

of what I'd have. You know, after I paid my taxes, but I'm sure I'd have plenty with this kind of deal, but I know I'm not going to win. I just hope I win some scratch-offs. I'd just do it for the fun of it. Hey, she says she knows she's doing it with the first 70-minute. She's going to get on the boy out of there. You're going to get him up out of there. She's going to pay the whole 70 million. Hey, well, you Alabama, oh, Joe. Hey, hey. Hey, he. The standard is a standard, and it's been set for a very long time. That's why you don't want to be the man coming after the man. You don't.

It's the same thing with Coach Brian. Who would want to follow Coach Brian? You think I want to follow that? Heck no. Who wants to follow Coach Sabin? Who wants to follow Coach Tom Osborne? Who wanted to follow Barry Switzer or Bud Wilkinson? Who wanted to Frank Leahy?

I don't want to follow those mythical coaches. Yeah. Every once in a while, you'll get a guy that follows Jimmy Johnson, Erickson. And guess what? He kept it going. And then he goes to the NFL. But even though Jimmy was good, Jimmy wasn't on the level. He could have been had he stayed.

But I'm saying, Coach Saban been there for 20 years. He's never lost what, more than probably after his first year, more than four games in the season. Johnny, you win that 1.5. I have 1.6B. What Johnny? What Johnny going to do? I might break her off a little piece of that

because I'll be kind of vibe a lot, to be honest. She's cool as hell. She's a bond to my family Thanksgiving this year's show. Man, to be honest, you probably ain't never going to see me again. Damn, Johnny, we're just two weeks in. I'm going to drop off a duffel bag at your front door. Okay, okay.

That's okay. Okay. I'm going to make sure I take care of. my people and then damn I'm outside hey can we get I'll tell you what John it drop the duffel bag

Ocho's face on the wing Ocho, Johnny said, if he wins the lottery, say, we're probably not going to see him again. He's going to drop a bag off, drop one off to you, drop one after me. And then we're not going to see him until the national championship game. Johnny said, Johnny say he outside. Yeah.

I just got to keep it a bug. Hey, I can't. I'm going to show up, too. But I can't say, hey, Ocho, I'm going to be like a dark-skinned slave. I'm going to be outside. too. Just so you know, Jocho, I'm just going to be real with it. One point, what is it? $1.5 billion? One point seven billion? Oh, yeah. Hey, Ocho, you win $1.7 billion. You're going to stop being so damn cheap? No, no, no, I'm going to still be cheap. I'm going to still

be cheap. Listen, I'm going to teach you how to spend some fucking money. I'm going to be the only person. I'm going to be the only billionaire, still flying spirit. See, seat, exit row 13.8. Well, you might have to build, you might have to build spirit out because Well, I don't know how much longer. But anyway, they close. But, no, Ocho, you're not going to be quite a billion there yet. I mean, 1.7, you probably be about 600 million, but you'll be close. No, they don't, no, they, no, they only take, I'm in my, I'm in Florida.

They're only taking $4.32 million in taxes. 1.4.7 in taxes. How much if you win the lottery in, in, in Florida? But you take it a lump sum. You take it a lump sum, right? Okay. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to take a lump sum. No doubt.

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely taking a little song. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I told you, I told you we're going to win. I'm telling you now, I can, I can feel it. I can already feel it. I know what's going to happen. I got to get back to the States. 884, Ocho.
