No, because then we got a lot of people out west. They don't get snow.

We want videos from them too. Rosemont, New Jersey. Hello! That's where Gabe lives. That's where Gabe lives. Thanks for the vid, Gabe. I don't know much about Rosemont, New Jersey. Right on the state line there.

Oh, you know more than I do. Yeah, that's it. Snow in there right now, or at least when Gabe sent the video. Which means it's football season. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're talking a lot of football today, by the way. There you go. Nice segue. Yeah. Well done.

Yeah. Hey, I'll start with the football right now. Layup line. that's a song called Luzana by Chuck Barry I don't know if it's oh Luzana or it's just Luzana It's one of his my favorite Chuck Barry's song I should know But of course I got Louisiana on the brain

Because it was on Brian Kelly's brain And now it's on everybody's brain Colin Baton Rouge Garth Brooks Walking in Memphis That's what Barrett Jones does a lot Because he lives in Memphis He'll be joining the show today

Wow look at you On fire Yeah 5 o'clock's your hour huh? Yeah I'm a late bloomer. Yeah. I'm winding down about now.

Hey, you know, do you know why Lincoln Riley is ecstatic about being at SC? Why? Because there's no E. In the middle of it? In SC.

That's real good. Oh, you got it. You just thought of that. Yeah, I thought it was going to not land. No, it landed. Housekeeping. Hey, real quick, anybody's listening. That's been wondering where the Christmas cards

have been the last like four years. We just stopped doing them. too busy with kids. So I know that maybe a bunch of you might have been like offended. You know, and I get it when you, when you get a Christmas card from somebody like every year and then it just stops, you wonder what you did.

You didn't do anything. We just had kids. You've just reminded me that we didn't, we didn't do Christmas cards this year. Yeah. You would be the type, would you be the type of family to like list all your babies' accomplishments? No.

No. We would be the family to do the one good photo. You know, and then on the back is like a big one of the dog, at least if I had my way. Dog gets the back page. Yeah, but the full, the full back page. Okay, good for the dog. And maybe even part of the front page. But no, you're not hearing what Uncle Bill's been up to for the past year.

No, no, no, no, don't do that. Also, Beville Conway, you had a submission, I think. So I was going to post a picture of Notre Dame and Stanford from this week. But the Twitter machine, when I go to tweet and hit media, it's not letting me post a picture. You know, I didn't see Notre Dame and Stanford. I didn't see the Iron Bowl. I didn't see anything. Yeah, you saw the floor of your kitchen.

No, it was the bathroom. Covered in vomit. Tickets right there over your left shoulder next to Tom Seguer. Oh, is that to here's to Never Forgetting? Well, yeah, it's going to stay up there. Thanks for listening to the pod. Until I puked on that ticket, ironically. That's a ticket to the ball game, the Commonwealth Cup.

And we're going to thumb-tack that thing up on the wall until we beat tech again. With the puke. Yeah, they got like a clock in there at the McHugh Center. It's like however many days till tech, that's my clock. About 360. I like it. Beville Conway, you got Notre Dame Stanford? Yeah, it looked good. Trust me. Just trust me.

Here's one I missed. USCBYU. Oh. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Although some of the things said by the USC fans were less than gorgeous, ugly even. We don't have to get into that. And one more aesthetic note.

I wish you were with me to talk ball. on Sunday night sometimes. I wish. Dr. Fax, it'd be fun. I wish you and I were always together. ECU's logo stretches from about the high red to the high red. ECU is like, I don't know when they were like, yeah, let's just put the whole fucking state there. Yeah.

And it's not like in Ohio. It's like a very wide state and ECU's got a lot going on in that outline of North Carolina. Do they have the outer banks in there too? I would, I said, yeah. Outer banks are like the 40. They're like right there on the Hawaii does this thing. You got the little islands in the red zone. You have the big island.

Yeah, no, it's just a bad idea. Corolla, yeah, is there at about the 35. Is duck there? Ducks there. Okay, good. I don't know how I feel about it. I respect the audacity of being like, yeah, let's just slap the widest state in America on there. I'm sitting cross-legged.

I just wanted to mention it now because it's beginning to hurt. Yeah, change it up, dude. It looks uncomfortable. I want you to rate a take real quick before we. we get on a Monday night football. Dave Damashek take right here. Are you parking your car in his garage? We saw Kenny Pickett a couple weeks ago.

You know what I'm going to say. This was an Instagram post by Dave Damashick. Let me guess. I haven't seen it. You should win the Heisman. Yeah, but actually, like, he argues well. Okay. If the Heisman should go to the most outstanding player,

Pickett's put up slightly better numbers than Young and Straub. But if the Heisman should go to the most valuable player, Pitts won 10 games for the first time in five decades, whereas Bam and OSU would be top 20 teams with me at QB. Get Kenny Pickett to NYC. All right. I don't hate it, but my counter, which doesn't count for much, is that I watched Kenny Pickett play one football game

and he was the second best quarterback on the field. Unfortunately, for Kenny Pickett, the red rifle. He was better. But Virginia's 6 and 6. Yeah. Who do you think wins the husband? Stroud or something? I guess so.

My thing is, this is a year where down games don't matter because of the parody and because there's no like Heisman watch. Like who are we watching to make sure that they don't have a bad game like in years past? So I think Kenny Pickett

should at least be in the conversation. Dave Damashak. Bryce Young is still odds on favorite. Followed by Stroud and Matt Corral. Can he picket fourth? One more note in the state of Pennsylvania dealing with quarterbacks. Maybe a moonshine Minshu sighting this weekend for the Eagles. I was on one of these Instagram accounts that just generates news upon news upon news.

And evidently, let me read this to you. This is from Philly Eagles news. O.C. Shane Steichen said QB. Gardner Minshu was at the Novacare Complex today, preparing on a day where he would normally have off. Jalen Hertz injured his ankle late in Sundays lost to the Giants and his status for the week's game is up in the air. Something to monitor as the week progresses. We need to pounce on this moonshine menshoe thing.

Has moonshine not been going bathroom for three months now? Because he's been the number two here for quite a while. He's been doing a Stan Marsh thing. And I'm not talking about the wheelbarrow. I'm talking about the P.F. Chang's episode. He's got a laugh at a read there. Reid loves poop. He loves golf shaft jokes.

he loves Reed is crunchy ass 16 year old but actually Cowboy does not like flatulence no he does not in the workspace at least

yeah unfortunately I like South Park jokes unfortunately sometimes they contain poop jokes Moonshon would be backed up by a read Reed Sinette hey

real quick because we're going to talk about the Monday night game because there's some interesting implications outside of just a beautiful shitty football game I love shitty football

Sunday night to Monday night. That was about the best Sunday Monday split of games we've had all year. We had the 18 turnover game, natural grass, cold out, physical. You had edge rushers going wild.

Sure, the score was like 9 to 6. And Baker Mayfield just dropping the ball and Lamar looks like he's point shaving at times. But, no kidding. I mean, he had a bad half. Dude. But they followed that up with another

doozy of a game Monday night. I mean, that game had it all. They had, uh, would they have a thick two blocked extra point. And then you had uh, Sly's who's, of course, the kicker, his hamstring exploded chasing a, uh, defensive linemen after the block kicks. So that changed the whole dynamic of the game. There was a bunch of two point conversions. The game essentially ended in a two point conversion, but not without two onside kicks that basically executed on the Seahawks side. It was inexplicable. The first one to me was like, damn, they actually got the onside kick. There was an illegal formation by like a, like two yards.

Yeah, but there is a rule. Rules of rules. Rule people that are, you know, stick their nose up at like, well, if you're in the neutral zone, you're in the neutral zone, this guy wasn't on the hash. He needs to be on the hash.

I didn't know the rule, but that's why there's a special teams coach. Anyways, they probably get the ball back there. They probably hit one shot and beat the Washington football team. Anyways, they had to, they had to tee it up and do it again, and they damn near got it again.

So this game had everything. I loved it. And it was at our favorite place, the palace and land. Loved it. I was at Jones Arena watching Virginia storm back against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Boy, did we. I'm glad I didn't take the under. Ended up losing by one. That's a good sign for us. Fellow showed a lot of fight. Hey, that's a good sign for us. It's weird being the inferior team in that building hasn't happened in about a decade.

I won a lot of games. There's six and zero. Seven and no, no. Maybe seven and no, no. Yeah, some improvement. I got home to watch them to that. And you did because. No, no, no. I wasn't watching because of scary Terry. I end up losing the fantasy game this week, 125.88 to 125.16. Honestly, because LeMarvellous threw four picks, he throws three picks and I win. But Terry needed about four catches and got four catches. And this has been a tough year for you because you're on the bubble. Oh, I would have locked up a playoff spot had I won this week, this past week. and now it's outside looking in sort of stuff. Yeah, you got to play the best team in the league.

Because I have the Cucks. They show you what your record would be if you played every week. I'd be two and ten if I played the Cucks every week. So it's not looking good. It's not looking good. In the words of that Arizona State's players coach, this game is under investigation. Can you read the text message that I have here, Reed?

Dog, I'm not even reversing the mojo. It will be over Q1. Just need one of Lamar four picks to be a TD. Now if you sit, Terry, I could return some of of your initial investment. What does that mean? And that's a text from Macon to somebody else in the league. What does that mean return some of your initial investment

if he sat Terry McLaurin? I offered my opponent money to sit down his wide receiver. I'm so glad that you didn't make a big thing about this. You're a fucking cheater. I don't see that in the rules. Is that in the rules? You can't bribe people to have them sit people? It's bribery, it's collusion, it's lots of things, yeah.

I did the same thing to you. I said you could forget to start a couple guys this week, you know? Build up some suspense for a playoff matchup. It just feels extra slimy because it was somebody else. You're not just colluding with me. You're colluding with other people in the league. Yeah, that's right. That's not the first time I've made that offer.

Just wanted to get that. It was basically a feeble attempt at throwing this week's game to slide in the playoffs, and I'm going to wipe the... And this person sent you a screenshot. I don't know how I got it. Huh. Interesting. I don't know how I got it.

I'd like to note it's November the 30th, and we're in another room, and you said something about it being December 1st. Man, I don't give a fuck what month it is, dude. And I said, nah, it's not December 1st. And then you said, what, it's November 31st? What day is it? Hell no. Super nah.

And you're like, oh, December 2nd. Now, it's actually November 30th. Don't, do I look like a calendar guy? No, no, no. And yeah, and I actually wrote it down. Not a huge calendar guy. My son asked me this morning if it was still fall. And I was like, eh, still leaves on the tree.

Ask your mom. Outside. Yeah. Ask mom. What does mom think about it? I'm doing no dessert December. That's how this came up. I was eating a cookie.

You said, no. That's right. Yeah, I was eating a cookie. And you said, I'm doing no dessert December. And I said, well, I just ate a cookie in December. What are you going to do about it? And you're like, I have a calendar. Cool story.

Having a calendar. and all. I was geared up to go to Almaral baking company. I was going to get an apple cranberry crumb tart in a key lime tart. Yeah. And what I do there is I cut them both in half and I give the halves to my lovely wife, Kate,

and then I eat the other two halves. It's a nice little dessert. I was going to go out in style in November. But I'm still here, Studio J. It's dark outside. Why don't you stuff your face? Why don't you stuff your face for the next two nights because it's November 30th and like carb load going in like Michael

Scott on the Alfredo. Is this a con? Is this a joke again? No. 30 days in November. So we are here on the last day of the month. There's not 31. I'm going to get you a calendar for Christmas. You know, there's the whole, what was the other thing?

It was a leap year thing or what did I get just absolutely fried? 52 weeks in a year. 52 weeks in a year. Who the fuck cares? You think the cave men cared about how many weeks in the year was about survival? That's the life of a podcaster. You're looking at a calendar. I'm looking at that.

I'm looking at the board. So now does my dessert plight seem a little more significant to you that this is my last day and I don't have dessert at home? Yeah, go on and start a night early. Fuck the desserts tonight. Was it really every day for, what was it, 15 years? Yeah. I think so. Only nights it might not have been would be like a night out and say, and those have been few and far between.

I think so. What about the night you slept in the park bench? Did you dessert that night? Yeah. You served dessert at that function? Okay, did I? Yes. Grabbed and he grabbed.

He did it and go. Yeah. He was grabbing and grabbing and went. No, so I'm glad we got that over with. We've got a big matchup this week and it kind of rendered a little bit less significant. With the loss last night, condolences. This game had it all, as I said. It also had Sidney Jones playing a lot of football in a prime time spot.

You know, I've seen Rasul Douglas on the field. Shondon Sullivan. what DB from the Eagles is not getting serious time right now? Like that was our Super Bowl run basically and all these young guys are elsewhere and playing significant minutes. So good for him. Russell Wilson next year.

That's the big question. That's what you, if there's a lead coming out of this game and I hate talking about the team that lost, but it is Russell Wilson because things are not getting better. I know his finger's probably not 100%. I know he was rehabbing him. it even as he was watching the Broncos game the other day, Cowboy. Waldron and him have not gotten on the same page.

They probably hit the reset button soon. I don't want to make news saying that, but things are trending down in Seattle. And they haven't really found a way to get the ball to Metcalf consistently. So I don't know if like if your guy that you're like, well, why would Russell Wilson stay in Seattle? Why would Russell Wilson go to Team X, Y, and Z? well, a D.K. Metcalf is a big reason for a lot of people, but they've struggled to connect. And like it showed late in that game last night,

a couple forced balls to him. I mean, he missed, just for the sake of targets. Just for the sake of targets. And it was like, it was almost like they knew when they started talking about it and the broadcast. DK didn't have a target until like four minutes to go in the third.

So I'm just saying, I say all that to say the defense is kind of cratered there, although they played hard last night. I'm not saying cratered. They just don't have the same playmakers that they had in the prime of Russ's career in Seattle. And he's older. Like the next decision he makes could be, you know, the last big decision. I mean, I know he wants to play until he's 40,

but only one guy's really done that into their 40s. And although he's kept pace with him the last 10 years and wins and that sort of thing, there's only one Tom Brady. So what say you in all? August, I think it was, he said, Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, and Bears were the, that's what his agents said. Those were the teams that he would be willing to be traded to,

which, by the way, I mean, that's... Cowboys, Dakota, Dakota, Prescott. Bears, Justin Fields. Raiders, Derek Carr, they can win ball games. Saints, okay. I can't do any of those for them. I can do the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Okay. And I like the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. A lot of weapons. Interesting. imagining him and Mike Tomlin like hanging out. But the defense is down this year. Get it healthy? Maybe get it healthy, you think?

I like Pittsburgh. I do like Pittsburgh, but I'll give you another one. We watched them play last night. That's right. Football team. The football team. Yep. Let me rattle off some names to you.

McLaurin, Thomas, Samuel, Gibson, McKissick. Who needs a no line? I don't care how many centers you're down. They can fix that this off season. They just beat Seattle with Taylor Heineke. No disrespect to the man. The division is, eh. And what's not to like about Ron Rivera?

He looked like he was ready to take on an ISO running out of the tunnel last night. Let's fucking go. He looks like he'd still play. If that guy doesn't fire you up, what would? The only negative of that place is Landover. The field. The field. Russ is from Richmond, Virginia.

He'd probably live in the state of Virginia. Oh. Awkward for you. awkward. Yeah. No, maybe we can find him a place. Oh, we can find him a place. Yeah. Synergy. Yeah, we could. Russ, call us. Greenlight podcast and realty. We dabble. But if you look at it, I mean, there's another team in the division that's probably going to at least consider making a run at him, and that's Philly. I mean, just if you know, Howie Roseman and he wants to make the big splashy trade, Philly has kind of become like New York South a little bit. There is the, they're both

entertainment kind of people. I mean, I know Sierra is like an entertainer and a great one at that. Russell, I think wants to dip his toe into being like the next Tom Cruise, I bet, you know, after football. I think he wants to be something bigger than just a football player. Philly would be a place that'd give him an opportunity to do that. Who's more married to whom? New York and Dan Dimes or Philly and Jalen Hertz? 50% of marriages end. There could be, you know, could be two of them there. Like, If you were on the pod Sunday night, we would have talked about what we saw on the field in the meadowlands there, which was not pretty. They all got there to Rager.

I understand. Rager's got to catch it, but you're not exactly losing a shootout to the Giants. So when you're looking at the Eagles and if you have big time aspirations and if you're Harry Roseman and your seat feels a little hot, like you probably feel like you have to make a big splashy move. And that move is probably not being like, we're going to stick with this guy that's real hot some weeks and real cold some weeks. We're not that good yet, and I don't have that kind of time. And by the way, there's a ton of college quarterbacks and a killer carousel coming up this year.

There's a ton of vets as well. We're going to be out there that I can kind of like talk myself into. The grass is always greener in life when you're evaluating players. And yeah, I think Jalen Hertz can be a really good quarterback. I've said this over and over again. I love see Jalen Hurts in New Orleans. And New Orleans is somewhere that we're talking about with Russell. and I don't see that as much.

Everybody's too lazy with the breeze is Russell, is breeze, different players. Sure, is it tantalizing anything about Russ and Sean Payton? But what do they have there? Russ wanting to be there. They have Alvin Camara and Russ wanting to be there. And a roster that you could argue, like the windows closing a little bit on.

So Panthers, they were floated, they just lost McCaffrey. I didn't even mention this more than just saying his name. Antonio Gibson is a guy that would make me want to come play there. Antonio Gibson is one of my favorite players. He is awesome. Last night, he was great for them. He made one really head scratching play we'll talk about, but there's a lot of weapons here.

Denver we talked about the other day as well. Dolphins have been floated. I like Washington a lot out of that group. I like Denver as well. By the way, when it comes to Heineke, some people noticed that the broadcast crew seemed to really like him last night. I think there's stuff to like about the kid. I definitely do. Is he ever going to be a Super Bowl quarterback?

Nope. That's sometimes the most simple question you have to ask. And I think he's going to play a lot of football throughout his career. We got really high on him during the game if you were just listening to broadcast. But Russ went three and out for like 90 minutes straight. and it's a one score ball game. You know, so I mean, like he's a good solid quarterback. I think, you know, it's fun to watch him play.

He's got tremendous heart. I respect him. But as they pointed out last night, like Ron Rivera's on Tinder. Every week, he told the production people he has people sending him a weekly report on their quarterbacks coming out in the draft next year. That would be like me getting on a nationally syndicated podcast and saying, like announcing to my wife that I'm on Tinder. You know what I mean? that's kind of what that's like and that's the reality in pro football

so like for you to be your seat to be guaranteed to you next year it takes a lot more than like five and six or whatever they are right now and by the way NFC East it's like Ricky Bobby's dad for a division like they don't like success there we could be a couple weeks away

we could be a couple days away from Washington being five and six and the Cowboys being seven and five dude Eagles at five and seven New York Giants at four and seven. Ain't nobody dead. Race to nine. Everybody in the hunt. I get the race to 20.

You get the race to nine, dude. It's November for some of us, December for others, and everybody's in the hunt. The Gibson thing I was going to tell you about, did you see he broke like 15 tackles in the red zone and they're trying to bleed the ball out and inexplicably found his way to the sideline,

got out of bounds. If that doesn't happen, I don't think I lose that bet. This is the lead here. Oh, you lost. I lost a bet last night. Not a big one. What I do is on a,

like a bad game, I put like a tiny bit of money on it to really get me to be incentivized to do my job and watch it and be like plugged in on it. So, you know, Stanford Steve Tech. That's called a gambling addiction. No, it's called, well, you had an angle there. It would be called justifying a gambling addiction.

But honestly, it's just something that plugs me in for the game. But I actually was putting whaling to bed, couldn't get my bed in on Washington. So I bet them live. as soon as I got downstairs, two and a half was the number. How about they're on the goal line, about to go up two touchdowns?

I'm thinking a tech guy actually does something good for me this week. Logan Thomas almost makes a great play. Looked like a catch. Until they showed that last angle. From under center, I thought it was he dropped it. 2016, 2012,

and before that's a catch from then to the... It's only as good as the camera can justify making the call. And to me, like, yeah, you got to reverse that. That pool I do that I've never won. Yeah. Buffalo, Sinci, Miami, New York Giants, Washington football team. I went five for five.

Did you really? Your boy won. Good for you. Yeah, good for me. You didn't text me this week. Week 12 winner. Oh. Yeah, I didn't ask you for any winners.

And Washington, they've sneaky settled into, like I forgot they don't have a name. It's a great, no name. And the logo looks good, too. I wouldn't do that far. I like the logo. I wouldn't do that far. All the letters are short and the word is too long. Yeah.

Okay, gotcha. I'm with you. I'm not talking about it. I mean, everything just says Washington. I'm not saying what on the sweatshirt. I'm saying the W. Yeah. The W.

All right, well, let's get Barrett Jones on here to talk about, I mean, we've got a lot to catch up on the, you know, I want to see if Brian Kelly can last in the SEC. I want to find out how Barrett Jones prefers to be left by a college coach. How do you prefer to be left by a college coach? text sure as hell don't want to go to a meeting at 7 a.m. Here's the thing about that.

I tweeted today and I was kind of joking that the shittiest thing Brian Kelly did was leave and then set up this exit meeting at 7 a.m. They're probably in the building anyways usually at like 7.38 a.m. They probably have a lift and meetings usually college football players are often in early and pro players. But let me sleep in. Just give me an hour, dude.

Somebody this morning was like, you know damn well they're lifting at eight i'm like yeah i need that hour you told me on text coach i got it you're leaving the money's good and by the way tillery one of his best players last couple years louisiana guy and their safety this year hamilton he's a uh Atlanta guy so maybe he can figure it out down south but i'll tell you what like if i'm a player i committed to play for notre dame our lady that's what kyle hamilton said on his podcast another thing is i committed to play for Brian Kelly at Notre Dame right and the first part my parents probably googled Brian Kelly's track record of like exiting the building so like did you read the

uh Lefleur Sala story that's that's making the rounds once again no Matt Lefleur and Robert Sala thought they were invited to a party at the home of their boss Central Michigan coach Brian Kelly turns out they were on the guest list we shoveled the snow and parked all the cars Sala said then at the end of the night we had to go get the cars again. And then they went back to the tiny apartment. They shared his graduate assistance. Quote,

we decided that when we're in that position, we're never going to treat people the way we got treated, said Sala, now the then-Niners defensive coordinator. And Maddie's lived up to it as saying Lefleur treats people the right way. So Brian Kelly, if you followed that. Yeah, I did.

I mean, he basically doesn't have a lot of fans. Future NFL coaches shoveling snow instead of joining the party. Hey, come to my party. Yeah. Hey, here's a shovel. Ridiculous. Our holiday party, Reed. Oh, we're having a holiday party? Yeah. Wow. You're not going to be shoveling snow, read. I'll put it that way. Sweet.

Sweet. Yeah, dude, it's college football. It's, you know how these coaches operate. Barrett Jones knows how these coaches operate. Let's talk to him. Also, we'll talk to him about Bama and Georgia as well. Where's the party? Huh? Party? You got it. Yeah. That was the question.

What is R-T-O-T-A? Makin, do you know? Because he's going to act like he knows. No. All right, what is it? Roll-tile on the Ness. Oh, man. All right, Harvey Uptike.

R-I-P-to-the-God, Harvey Uptike. We got Barrett Jones with us. He is an old friend, old teammate. One of the best in the media, and I got to run into Barrett a few weeks ago in Charlottesville at a football game that we got absolutely destroyed in the Notre Dame game. And I wish I could say I stopped. watching Virginia football after that, but we won't talk about tech till later. Barrett, how do you feel

this week? Nerves? You know, Brian Kelly coming to the SEC's got to make you pretty nervous. Well, first of all, I'm an analyst, so I'm completely unbiased and I have no feelings regarding anything. Right. But I'm shaking in my boots. Absolutely. You really are. No, I think it's been an unbelievable cycle, and it's just getting started. I mean, normally you kind of have the natural progression of like, you know, you go from a kind of a medium school to a big school and we're having like these massive jumps that are creating other massive holes. I mean, you know, now like, when's the last time I coach left Notre Dame that didn't retire? I don't have that. I don't have that stat in front of me. It would have been going to have.

114 years ago. Golly. 140 years. Someone's left Notre Dame taking their job. That's wild. I mean, you leave Oklahoma and I go to U.S.D. You know, kind of lateral, I think. But it's been a wild cycle. And we're getting started. I mean, I don't know how it's going to all go. But it was a very interesting move from Brian Kelly. You know, I don't know, but I'm just guessing that he thought, I feel like I've done as good of a job as I can do here at Notre Dame. And then still when I get to the playoff, we get crushed by Clemson, Obama. I want to see if I can become legendary and win national championships. And look, I think LSU is an awesome job. Like, it's an awesome.

I know, like, there's a lot that's happened there. There's a lot of noise. Three coaches in the last 20 years, have won a Natty to LHU. Think about that. Yeah. And honestly, two of the three, Coach O, less miles, like, does anyone think those are like the greatest coaches in the world? Like, I mean, they're okay. You know, I mean, I wouldn't put them in like the top 20 of all time, probably, and they won Natty's there. So that place, there's about to be a major power void in the West at some point when saving, you know, either retires or keels over. And someone's going to have to pick up the slack. And to me, it's either going to be Jimbo or now Brian Kelly and LSU. I think that that place could be a powerhouse for the next 20 years if Brian Kelly does what I think he will do.

I think they'll be extremely successful. So that's interesting because on one side of it, you know, and first off, making so you would take the LSU job? Would I take the LSU job? Yeah. Would you run to Baton Rouge? Yes, but not if I'm Brian Kelly. That's the part of it is like it's so hard for me to picture this guy down in the bayou. That's there's the fit, right?

but the football fit is you just won a national championship with that, oh, who we love, but you just put it pretty succinctly. So you think, Barrett Jones thinks, the football IQ can win the day down there. You don't need to be a fit. Chris, you know this. I think there's been so many narratives during the cycle. Like, Lincoln Riley is a good example. Like one of the narratives was that, which especially down here where I am, I live in Memphis

down the south, everyone's on every talk show. Lincoln Riley, he was scared of the SD. he didn't want any part of the SEC, you know, like, I just don't know a lot of coaches that think that way. Like, I don't really think that, I don't think Brian Kelly thinks that way. Everyone's like, he had a much easier path at the day and than going to the SEC. Like, most coaches I know, especially elite guys, like,

they want to see how their stuff works against the best, you know? Like, they really want to feel like, okay, like I really took my shot. I had it on the big stage. I had no excuses at all the resources. I can get any player I want. Their administration completely dedicated to football. above all else. And they want to see if they can be that next legendary guy, you know? So I think like sometimes we overthink all this, you know. I would, I want to be a narrative

guy, Barrett. I want to overthink it because I think Lincoln Riley absolutely ran from becoming you do think that. Mississippi State or something to that effect in the SEC. I do. And it's not like a scared thing. I think he's, I think younger guys are more pragmatic. I think the old school football coaches are like, I'm going to run through that wall there. And Lincoln Riley is like, I'm going to walk around it. I'm going to go to SC right now where it's like, there's a void. I mean, not a void. Oregon's occupied it, but you can win in the Pac-12. He'll be in the playoffs.

I think for Brian Kelly, you're like, if I'm Brian Kelly, I've seen what the ceiling is here at Notre Dame. Right. You know, it's like we can get in the playoffs as many times as we want because we can manipulate things and all that stuff. But you're not going to be able to have the top end dudes and get guys in that you can get in an LSU. So once you get in the dance, what do you do?

Let me ask you a question. Let me just say, I don't really know a lot of these guys personally. I know Billy Dave pretty well, but the other guys, they're not really in my circle as much. So, I mean, you're married. Like, do you think there's a chance that him and his wife are just kind of talking? And she was like, okay, we got young kids. Like, we can either spend the next 10 years in like Oklahoma or we can go to Manhattan Beach. Like, to me, that one might be that simple.

That's, that's part of it. It's not like, let's go live in LA. Yeah, it's not like in an alternate universe, like, uh, wazoo was really dominant. And he was like, oh, let me just pop up there to whatever that's it. The Poulouse. So, yeah, which a mixed reviews on that place. But, you know, they're 30s. You know, like, they're, I mean, they're still, like, young.

They want to, like, want to be, like, kind of, you know, famous. And, I mean, you know, she probably likes that. But the taxes, Barrett, didn't you see the Oklahoma representative, the tax treasurer that was like, hey, by the way, when you leave here, you're going to have to pay more taxes. You also might not, you have a lesser chance of getting hit by a tumbleweed or bit by a rattlesnake or any of those things. So, like, there's also a quality of life thing. no offense to the people.

San Bradford loves Oklahoma. We argue about this all the time. I think most people would rather live in Manhattan Beach. I've had like a lot because I tweeted that out and I said that. And you have all the people saying, well, yeah, if you want to walk over eight homeless people when you're going to get your coffee, you know, all this. Not where he's getting his coffee.

Typical L.A. stuff. That's what I, maybe you guys have been L.A., which I don't personally like L.A. would never want to live in L.A. I think LAX is the worst airport ever invented. It's terrible. Damn. Horrible area.

But if you leave L.A. and you go to those beach towns, they're pretty nice. Yeah. I mean, you start to kind of catch the vision. L.A. is kind of Miami adjacent there. Making there's a lot of areas. Yeah, the greater L.A. area. So what do you think happens at Notre Dame then? Do you think it's Marcus Freeman?

Because if it's not Marcus Freeman, there's this big domino effect where then Luke Fickle's sitting there and he's like, I thought that was my job. You know, what does he do? Does he stay at Cincinnati? What do you think happens at Notre Dame? Yeah, it feels like a fickle fit. You know, like I think that certainly, obviously that's a little bit of a safer pick.

You know, Marcus Freeman's a very sexy name. Relatively new to the stage, though, of sexy names. I think, yeah, I heard at one theory today that they're going to switch jobs and that Marcus Freeman is going to go back to Cincinnati. He's going to get the Cincinnati job. But I don't know. Maybe Marcus Freeman might want to hold out. He might could get, you know, one of the other big jobs.

So look, I have no idea. I've never known what's going to happen in any of these coaching cycles. I thought when I called the LSU game last week, LSU A&M, and I would have, based on everyone I talked to, it was a done deal, Lincoln, LSU. Like, everyone was saying that around LSU. Obviously, he wakes up and goes to USC. So I have no clue what's going to happen.

Marcus Freeman definitely seems like a great recruiter. I feel like he's elevated from everything I've heard their recruiting footprint, a bunch of, by the way, that was, you know, they finally have kind of top five class. and elite class, and now that's when Brian Kelly decides. Right, exactly. He's going to be, yeah, and you were down there at the Cocho funeral.

That had to be so lit. How awesome was that atmosphere? Dude, it was, did you see the end of the game? Oh, my God, bro. I was like, did they just hire him or are they letting him go? Unbelievable ending to the game. Like, I saw a bunch of people joke and say that they, LSU, especially after all the problems

they've had. Now, all those seem like a distant memory, but at a time, it was like, everybody they were kind of going after what Jimbo wasn't happened, you know, that it seemed like Lincoln was happening, that they should consider interim coacho, you know, for the job, because interim coacho, a lot better than regular coacho. And the guys were so jacked up. I mean, like, they were playing so hard. They were playing all these random freshmen that I didn't even, I've called it some of their

games didn't really know about. And they were going cover zero, like on every single third down. They just didn't care playing man to man off the field. And they just found a way. It was, it was a fun finish to the season. and one of my least favorite phrases in sports, especially like on a big game, is like when people talk about like,

oh man, that team wanted it more. Like they wanted it. You know, the Super Bowl, they're like, oh, they just wanted it so much more.

I'm like, I bet both teams probably wanted it a lot. Uh-huh. In that case, I will say Ellis wanted it more on that night. They really did. They were hungry. They wanted it for Coach.

Oh, and by the way, before we move on to the other vacancies, I want to see if we can, we can. It's a cool jacket. Thanks. It's like a,

what is this a bomber jacket? Canada goose kind of thing. Looks nice. It's nice. You take care of these, although I did vomit on my other one. After the Virginia game, Barrett, I, uh, he vomited. I self-medicated and ended up at home and, and, uh, projectile in the bathroom.

That was a tough game. Yeah, you people would cope with pain a lot of different ways. That was, I don't know how I cope with pain. You've played with me in St. Louis. I know. I was upset, too, and not that upset, to be honest. I got over pretty fast. I was excited about having a good game.

And then I found out Brandon Armstrong's not playing the week. And I was like, this is going to be a bloodbast. Oh, that was tough. He, of course, called the Notre Dame game a couple of weeks ago. Before we move on from Notre Dame, how do you prefer a coach leaves you? That's a good question. It's come up a lot lately. And, like, you know, first of all, like, if I'm being honest, I don't, I feel like people are putting way too much into it.

Like, I mean, it's just like, at the end of the day, like, yeah, could you be mad for a second? I mean, probably, yeah, but you're always going to be mad at the coach's leaving. And in the perfect world, I'm sure that the coach would love to have a team meeting with everybody. But the reality is as soon as you announce the team meeting, somebody's texting somebody and it's out that there's a team meeting and he's about to leave for somebody. And probably before you had the team meeting, you probably accepted the job, you know, to have the team meeting.

And whoever you accepted the job from, they're going to leak into their people to get excited and someone's leaking it out. So it's just so hard now to keep things a secret with the media the way it is. I think people make way too big of a deal. All these coaches would love to do that. It's just not the reality right now, especially when you're not even, you know, you just had your last game you have a break like ever you know you probably didn't have practice that

day so i'm with you i'm totally with you even though it's brian kelly i think here's the the crux of it all these players committed to play for brian kelly like if you have a pet tiger and he fucking bites you that's your fault for having a pet tiger you went and played for brian kelly Brian Kelly has left people in spectacular fashion for decades, man. And also, I'm sure there's a big in-person dynamic of it. Let's assume it's not Brian Kelly. Let's assume making and I are coaches. I don't know.

Maybe have a text message drafted. And like before you sign the ink to the paper, you hit that. And so the guys get that first thing. You're never going to get home to see them in person. You should know that by now. But at the same time, it's college football. It's a business. And with the transfer portal open and NIL,

deals and that sort of thing, we're at least moving in the direction of players being a little bit more autonomous. There's not as much of a double standard now, although it's going to be wild. Like that's the thing, that's the fallout that I still don't even know what it's going to look like. And I don't think anyone does is with all this coaching carousel, especially these big moves, like how many players are going to follow them? And it's not, it's no longer just the recruits.

The recruits has always kind of been, you know, where coach leaves. I remember when Kirby left Alabama, went to Georgia. And then, you know, there was this year period where all these Alabama the coaches were mad at Kirby because he took all these recruits with him. Now it's not just the recruits. It's the players. I mean, like you're already hearing these Caleb William rumors from Oklahoma that he's

going to USC and they're getting some N IL deal lined up for. Rattler staying. Rattler staying. It's going to be wild. Like it's just going to be crazy. Everyone's going to be transferring and moving. And is it good? I mean,

I guess, yeah, it's good for the players. It's good for the players. It balances out because coaches have been able to just leave in the middle of the night. for eons and now at least there's more player mobility and players can get a little piece of the pie. Graziano said something on TV today. I was watching that show on ESPN by the river with Mike Greenberg.

Get up. Get up. I was up. And Graziano was talking about, you know, like a lot of these coaches, of course they're not going to even put this out there. Of course I'm going to keep it a secret because other coaches use it against you when you're supposed to be known to be looking, you know, a coach who recruits the same area is like, hey, I heard. You know what I mean? And you don't want that out there, especially even if you're just talking behind the scenes about being looking. So the whole thing is it's an interesting dance that's going on in college football right now. And the media only makes it more interesting because you can bet somebody in the office down there at LSU is going to be shooting that out before you can even get out the door. So I mean, I think it's a little bit too big of we do.

One last thing on this topic before we move on is I just, it'll be really interesting to see not necessarily this year, but over the next 10 years. Like are there more coaches that? don't want to deal all of this. You know what I mean? Like, like they just say, hey, look,

I'd rather just be a coordinator than a fellow position coach, not have to recruit, not have to do NIL. There's just so many moving chess pieces. Like, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Right.

All the repercussions, all the constant recruiting of your own players. Like, I think like to use it, maybe an extreme example, there might just be more Dan Mullins. There's, I'm done with this crap.

Like, I don't want to, I, it's out of hand. I'm going to mail it. I'm going to go shark fishing. It's just, it's too much.

You know what I mean? Like, so I just don't to keep an eye on. Like, I think that college football potentially could lose some high quality coaches to the NFL, you know, to, because it's just, it's such a headache. I would not want to do it. I just, it sounds terrible to me to have to, the coaching part would sound awesome. But the recruiting, the whole being on the road, like we lost to tech. Yes, but we just lost the tech. Dudes are on the road busting their ass.

Like, after you lose to a team like tech, it's like, it's incredible to think about, oh, now I've got to leave my family. I can't even like suck my thumb in my house for three days. I mean, on top of it, the player mobility, I used to think college coaches would prefer their jobs because of the control factor. You lose that and you're working more. That's why the money is going on. And as Barry just said, it's not just recruiting. It's re-recruiting your own players every single year.

Yeah, I agree. I wish one thing I wish they would do, and this is anti-player maybe, whatever, but I wish they would open the transfer portal for a certain time every year. I do feel a little bit for the coaches when, like, in the middle of the year, like, their backup quarterback is, like, entering the portal and, like, doesn't want to play anymore. And, like, I get that maybe that's best for the kid. It's just hard for, like, roster development when, like, in the preseason, you think you have all this stuff. And then halfway through the year, like, you know, 80-year guys have entered the portal. When do you think the period should be the Barrett Jones rule?

Offseason. I mean, it can be a long period. Yes. So not between August and January. Like, I feel like in that given year, you should be on. that team. And maybe I'm, maybe I'm old school, but like, I feel like your commitment when you enter a team for the year is like, it's for the coach, but it's also like to the other guys. For the year. Yeah, for the year. Now, if you're a professional, you know, and shit really

hits the fan, you can ask for a trade and that sort of thing. And a lot of times you're justified in doing that. But I do think like if they could find a balance work, you know, when you walk into a locker room, because it's still a team game. You know, you do have to depend on each other. Barrett Jones rule. Maybe there's something to it. I don't know. Maybe we're going to get canceled. the BJR. I like it. Speaking of re-recruiting, how annoyed are you if you're Bob Stoops and you're like trying to beg players for a month to come back that are decommitting from Southern California and that are going with this little pencil neck guy with Raybans? I mean, like Bob Stoops has been there for 40 years, it feels like, and he's got to clean up the mess here. Yeah. I mean, look, there's just all these crazy unintended consequences that college football is crazy right now.

I will say all the haters that said it was going to blow it up. It's still a fantastic product and it's still been a lot of fun. Oh, it's so fun. It's so fun. It's all the storylines. I still love it. Yeah, the kids are in Applebee's commercials. There's a guy for Kansas that's in a brilliant Applebee's commercial.

The world is better for this. To me, all then I all stuff is going to work itself out. It's going to work itself out. I think, I mean, the deals are going to get smaller, obviously. Because there's, I will say, I think it had an impact, though. Like, you look at, you know, I know that we never put that much. stock in the early draft things and they have to have click ban the articles and I get all the way it works.

But like you look at like the top few picks last year, I think the top three guys were Rattler, Keaton Slovis and Sam Howell, you know, and like, I had okay, you're like, Rattler and Slovis weren't even playing, you know?

So is that because they just weren't good the whole time or they got a bunch NIL deals? I mean, I don't know. It's because of rivals.com and it's because Slobus can throw the fuck out of the picture. It's interesting to see how many guys can handle it. You know,

it's a ball game. Yeah. Hey, the Miami possible domino effect here. If you're, let's say the guy up at Oregon, Christobal. Christopher. If you're, who else was talked about with that job? Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin.

Is Miami a job you want to make a move for? Good question. I mean, first of all, Miami, the last I check doesn't have an AD. So, I mean, like, it's kind of like a rudderless ship right now to me. Like, who's driving this car? I guess I always get a little weary when the presidents are doing this all of steel. I mean, these guys, you know, they're academic types. like it's it's a different ball game anyway

Miami is first of all somehow amidst all the you and everything like their facilities are terrible I mean they have not invested well in football like their stadium is you know they play in hard rock it's like what 30 minutes from campus I mean it's not a good environment

there's like an hour an hour depends on traffic whatever it's a long way like they're it's they got some problems so yeah I personally you know not in that but like I don't know I mean Christobal he's this South Florida guy like Lane.

He's not from South Florida, but you could say you could see him in South Florida. Lane needs a small town. USA might be better for him to have some, you know, there's, there's more confidentiality. Lane needs like a sponsor family. Like when Lane comes to coach, like he has like a sponsor family that makes sure he's straight and he's got like all the food. Lane's like showing signs of maturity.

Like let's fostering that. Let's not move. Let's fostering that. It's like one month out of rehab. You don't go move to my. No, you don't. Matt Campbell's the one person I'm wondering about because he's been such a hot name.

We love Matt Campbell, but Iowa State's going to be Iowa State again here real soon. Like, just book it. Like, they're not going to stay hot like this. Or will his name stay hot like this with some of the teams departing to go to the SEC and that sort of thing? Like, is he safe staying put?

Well, I do think Matt Campbell is, Mike Campbell's cousin. Just kidding. Matt Campbell. Mike, I heard, was floated as well. Yeah. Matt Campbell is, I mean, look, he's a young, sexy name. Like, the players seem to love them.

Like, first of all, his buyouts huge. So, I mean, somebody's going to have, just let's talk dollars and cents. Somebody's going to have to pony up big money. But we've seen that's not really a problem. That's the money's out there right now at a law of schools. You know, I mean, he has a different philosophy. I mean, he seems more like a quality of life type guy.

You know, he gives a speech about how, you know, those are your goals. I don't know if you probably saw it the whole. Like, that's, that's the media's goals. You know, our goal is to be the best. version of ourselves we can be. So he's kind of got a little Ted Lasso, you know, kind of deal, field, you know, some of the stuff that he says. But I don't know. It's a great question. I've wondered that exact same thing. Like, this is his name eventually cool off. You got to kind strike while the iron is hot, but also be committed to your guys. And then there are some people

like, it committed too long and then it cools off. So I'm kind of with you. Like I called a game at Iowa State this year. And I mean, it's a decent spot, but also you don't really see it ever becoming a powerhouse per se. I think he aims higher if he's a quality of love guy. Oh, is that on purpose? Yeah. He creases his brim like he's a

10 year old tennis player. Okay, we love Matt Campbell. Let's not. No, I'm just saying that's a cause for concern. Okay. Let me sum it up and just say, I think that what you're referencing right now is absolutely a risk and absolutely on the table if he doesn't move soon. Like, it seems like in the coaching carousel, you know, that your name

always stays hot so long. You know what I mean? You can't just perpetually. It's kind of like, kind of like a hot dog at a gas station. I like where this is going. Burners. Like yeah, of course it's keeping it hot, but it's also slowly cooking it. So eventually like the hot dog's not going to be good anymore. That's true. How long do they keep those things on the rotating steel wheels? Not as long as the tequitos, man. They can leave those tequitos on for hours. Hey, give me the Bama Georgia scoop here. I'm about to put a like a moped maybe on the on on on georgia money line what do we think yeah okay all right i think it's like the odds around minus 230 okay let me give you the case for bama what do you think about that

you know well i got 15 seconds let me just let me just say that i am not a completely biased homer like i acknowledge that georgia will probably win the game and is rightly favored for the game absolutely Bama, this is like the worst Bama team coach Stevens had in a decade maybe. Like they have so many problems yet still they're like the number three team in the country, which says a lot. But anyway, the case for Georgia is this. I called their first game of the year, Clemson, Georgia. The case for Bama's.

Clemson, Georgia. And it was a three to three game. Okay. That's by the way, in hindsight, the best team Georgia played all year was Clemson. A Clemson team, though I think we all think, know their offense is an absolute train wreck. It was a three to three game where Georgia had a pick six in the second half. to win at 10 to 3. So, like, they didn't light the world on fire.

Okay, by the way, top two defense in the country, Clemson and Georgia. Okay, that's the only other, like, quality defense they played really all year, which, by the way, the stats are ridiculous. Georgia, I think, allowed 83 points all year, and the next closest was Clemson at 180. Yeah. How is that margin?

So nuts. But anyway, certainly, coming into the year, the big storyline was Georgia's secondary. Like, are they any good? Like, they had a lot of experience there. They had the guy come over from Clemson, actually. During Kendrick, you know, maybe he's going to help. But they haven't faced a passing attack all year. Like, they

really haven't faced any passing attack that's, that's even really decent. Even the ones they have faced, like, they don't have any protection up front. Their front seven just overwhelmed everyone. Right. So, Bama has major problems in the other line. Like, that's probably going to happen. They're probably going to overwhelm. But they have not seen two receivers like Metchie and Jameson Williams. So I do think it's possible to throw the football on them. And I also think defensively for Bama, it's strength on strength. Like Georgia runs the ball incredibly well. Their whole line's gotten a lot better. But as defense as maligned as they've, been most of their problems have been in the second year. They've got a pretty good front seven. So

I see it being a better game than some people do. But that being said, like, man, Bama's O-Line situation right now is just. Yeah, how to get there, man? This is the house that Barrett Jones built, man. How did it get? And last year, they had the best O-line in the country by a long shot. And, you know, so that's part of it. And they lost a lot of guys. But there there are times. And Chris, you know this because you exploited this. But like where if you have the O-line's funny and that if you have four decent players, if there's a lot of that one guy, especially if he's a tackle. Yeah. It's hard to play football.

You go get him. You go get him. You go back and watch the tape. And they played a few guys there at right tackle. It is a debacle. Yeah. Ackle right now. I mean, an absolute debacle. I mean, they have been playing all kind of people. Like, no one can play right tackle right now. Bam, like, it's

hard for me to honestly fathom how bad it's been at times where like every pass where I'm like just right tackle. It's all you got to watch. I mean, anyway. So you can't find a single big country looking motherfucker down there to just walk on the team emergency walk on like a

300-30-pound crap boy three five-star tackles last year too and none of them played you know it's incredible it's incredible it's incredible I don't know whatever George is incredible up front I'm betting them right now I'm sorry what are you putting on them what is a a moped there's a range

there that's why I said it that you can get a lot of different types of mopeds if Bama loses by one point on a Hail Mary since he's skates by, just a little scoot, a little scoot by. Uh-huh. Are you going to be using your considerable platform, Barrett, to say that Alabama deserves to be, two losses deserves to be in the playoff over Sensi?

You know, I've, like, for years, I've been, like, the snarky SEC guy on every show, and I've always said, like, there's no chance under the current format that a group of five team will ever make the playoffs. And I've, I've been snarky, and I think I'm going to be wrong. Under that scenario, no, I don't. Even though I feel like Bama would probably be favored over Sensey, at some level the games have to count. You know, and I think that they would have, they got a shot, a clear path to get into the college world playoffs by being Georgia. Obviously, it's a tough path.

But I don't think that. I think Sonsi would get in. To me, the big question is going to be if Bama somehow does beat Georgia. And let's say Michigan beats Iowa. And you have Michigan, Bama, Georgia. Then Oklahoma State beats Baylor. If you have Oklahoma State and Sensi to me, that's going to be a battle. That's going to be a real battle between the.

those two teams to figure out who the fourth one is. Again, probably won't happen because both of those teams will probably get in. That's what I think the most likely scenario is that we have Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma State, and Centsy, which by the way, everyone complained in the last few years. They said, we want other teams who want parity. Well, here you go. There you go. Enjoy it. You got some parody in college football.

So you'll better watch, even though I kind of think my guess is ratings are going to be down because, like, people say that. And then like when the Warriors of the Cavs are not in the finals, then they don't watch. you know, they're like, I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch the nugget. You're so right, dude. I was like, I was like, sons, bucks. Fuck me, it's sunny outside.

It's also, it also didn't help that. And they think that, but they don't actually mean it. You know, like people are all talking. That's a great point. I didn't even realize it. I've been diving that guy. So, um, I want parody. We just want our school to be.

We want our school to be it. I just don't want shitty games, which has been in the first round, especially, of all these college playoff games. I mean, very few one score games. Give me your best couple. Bama pros and then we'll let you go, buddy. Actually, this conversation with a buddy of mine where, like, I think very few of the players on this team right now would actually start on, like, you know, the last few Bama teams.

I don't have that many dominant guys, but there are a few. Jameson Williams is a really good player. I think he's very exciting. Obviously, that's probably a first rounder. Actually, not quite as high on METI, to be honest with you as some people are. Like, I think I don't really see him being like the same kind of guy that some of the other guys have been. He's a solid player.

Evan Neal, their left tackle. He's a stud. I mean, he's of absolute freaking nature. He's had an okay year, but he's a really good player who I think ultimately will develop and has all the tools to be like a long time starting left tackle. You know, there's some good guys in the secondary. Moving to right, Barrett. Moving to right

tackle. Is that good? Moving to right tackle this weekend. But the best player, I'm going to say, the best player for last, by far. And if you, unless you've been in a hole, you know about this guy. But you need to keep your eyes on him if you're an SEC guy. If you're not an SEC guy, is Willie Anderson. Like, Will Aaron is an absolute game wrecker.

And honestly, I'm trying to sound like a homer here, but he might actually be the best player in college football this year. He really might be. Like, he is that dominant. He's having, like, one of those Chase Young type seasons. And it's just, for some reason, it has been, like, overlooked a little bit, in my opinion. And again, I understand that I'm incredibly biased. And, you know, I hate everyone else at school except for band. I have people tell me on Twitter all the time.

But he is an absolute stud. And as good as he is, he's somehow not getting enough credit. it in my opinion. He has a game wrecker who's going to be a monster at the next level. Bama rushers, man. You know, it's just like, I don't know. You know, like I'm not sure. Although Barmore has been playing really well

this year. It's played pretty good. Last question. Georgia and the Detroit Lions, just offense from Detroit and defense from Georgia. How many points do you think that Detroit would score on Georgia's defense? Because this is this little piss people off. Oh, man. Well,

let me just say in general, I'm a major respecter of the NFL. There we go. And I just I think that this is the this like people will say the same thing to us all the time like who would win Bamer of the Jacksonville Jaguars that was always Rams would we were there. Yeah right or the Rams and I mean look I think any NFL team would absolutely wipe the floor. So Jared Goff would be picking those guys. I mean I do think I mean it's hard like I mean you get an example like Detroit's pretty bad. I mean they're like they don't have that many elite playmakers. They really don't. I mean,

so I mean, do I think they win? Of course Could they be, could Georgia beat the Vikings? I mean, Kirk Cousins couldn't even line up under center. What would you do if you were his center? Oh my gosh. No, they could not beat the Vikings. No, they couldn't beat the Vikings. Vikings are actually strangely really good. The Vikings are pretty good. What do you do if your quarterback puts

his hand under the guards balls? You like, dude, how did that happen? Have you ever had that happen to you before? I have never had that happen. You know, that's interesting. That's interesting. I don't know. I don't have any, I don't have an explanation for that. Kirk Cousins, you know, he, look, it's never boring with Kirk Cousins. There's not put him in a boss that I watch and I'm like, there are times around like, dude, Kirk Cousins is a baller.

Other times around like, dude, Kirk Cousins like needs to be a backup first. Like, what, what is happening right now? And he's a, he's a funny guy, but the Vikings like, I can't figure them out this year. They're weird team. So as long as they went under nine games, that'd be great. Barrett Jones. He's not immune to criticism and you can't put him in a box, plexie glass or otherwise. Barrett, thank you so much.

You like that? We do like that. We love when Barrett Jones comes on too. He just did the equivalent of running out of the tunnel at our favorite stadium saying, we want more Barrett Jones. For the people listening at home, tweet us, tell us you want more Barrett Jones. We'll get more Barrett Jones. I love the pod.

I'll just say like it's great. I listen to it a lot of times. I mean, you did a great job. The thing I love about it, and I think that more people, are starting to appreciate this more is you never know where it's going to go. I think people have been appreciating that. I love a host that like, you know, you're on a path and you're a rabbit hole. And there's a lot of hosts that are kind of like, you know, hey, like, don't, let's stay on focus here.

Like, don't go down the rabbit hole. Whereas you're like, no, like, we're taking this rabbit hole. And it could be like, before we circle back around to like what we started with. Fuck balls. Shit. Later, you're like, how in the world did we start talking? about Kurt Cousins. Hey, man.

We're Alice in Wonderland podcast. Barrett, we appreciate you, you giving the endorsement. You're the man. There's no doubt. So you do a great job, man.

It's always fun to be on. I always enjoy seeing you. You give some of the best bear hugs. If you ever see Chris Long, I don't care who you are. Give him a bear hug. I'm an angel. I don't say that.

There's viral pandemic, but, but I'm the Adrian Peterson of bear hugs. He's got a firm handshake. I'm a firm bear huger. Hey, Barrett, come to Charlottesville sometime. We can give you a bear hug in person, man. Thanks for coming on.

And RTR, except for this weekend. Thanks, guys. Have a good one. See you, bud.

that he's not scared of the SEC. It's just that there's two options. It's two options, and one of them happens to contain a lot tougher competition on the recruiting trail, on the field, as obstacles to a college football playoff. He's choosing the path of least resistance. So, yeah, is that synonymous with being scared?

I reckon it's a matter of semantics. He's taken the easier way, which I don't blame them. You play to win the game. That's right. You'd rather see one SEC team and see that team in January than every fucking week. That's right. He looks kind of like Cliff Kingsbury to me.

Next head coach at Oklahoma, Cliff Kingsbury. By the way, Oklahoma's going to struggle. I meant what I said. I said what I said. Lane Johnson, I told him that earlier. And he made fun of our football program. But you're not going to have fun in the SEC lane at all, at all. You're not going to be Oklahoma in the SEC.

And our guy is hip to that. The only thing that Lincoln Riley did that was kind of dumb was he named his dog's boomer and sooner. So you can take that one of two ways. Either it's the perfect like, I thought I was going to be here all along. What do you mean? I have integrity.

If so, brilliant, long play. The second part of that is it's stupid. Right? Because you might get a, a job in the next 10 to 12 years. I don't know what kind of dogs these are. I did at one point are they big dogs that are like are shooting star type dogs. They're here for a good time, not a long time. Boomer plays no matter where you are. You can be in Southern California. I think boomer is in is in good shape. Sooner is more of a problem. Do you know what Sooners were?

Yeah. What were they? They um they uh when you swallow and then stutter that's the same as when I go repeat the question repeat the question yeah i um yeah sooners um they uh they um you know the you really don't know this covered wagons they went to oklahoma and what about it yeah so in the beginning which is totally fucked up there were a bunch of um obviously white folks that came out there and they were like this is our land and and then they were like run as fast as you can and stake your claim i think that's how it went so the people that they would sneak out out there kind of like, uh, they got there sooner. Yeah, they were like people at Black Friday.

Right. The night before. They were basically, yeah, that's what you named your, your, somebody's gonna give me a death threat. They're dead serious about their football program out there. But they're not gonna be as good in the SEC. I still think they're fucking super respectable. I'd love to be Oklahoma, but they're gonna be more like Mississippi State there.

Boomer stays. I think sooner you got to rebrand to like a Glenn or Todd or something. Anybody's saying you can't do that if you've ever rescued a dog. I guarantee you, you know somebody who has renamed a dog. I could start calling you, Jerry. No problem. So I think Sooner's going to have no problem. I don't think the dog cares, frankly.

I think the dog is going to appreciate the fact that it's not freezing its ass off, you know, from, from, you know, October on, and that it's not 130 degrees. And there's no rattlesnakes. Well, there are rattlesnakes down there. The dog wants food. The dog wants perpetually sunny weather two to three times a day and the dog's good. Call me what you want to call me. Right.

You can call me cat. You get me a place in Manhattan Beach, walk me on the beach. Or maybe they both become boomer. Just call them both boomer. They don't care. They're both boomer. They move as a unit. Yeah.

Boomer. What would you rename the dog, Reed? Do you remember? I had no good ones. Okay. Honesty is the best policy. Here are the names that you shouldn't name the dog probably. One would be juice.

That was the one I kept coming back to, but I didn't want to say it because... You probably shouldn't name your dog Juice if you're the head football coach of SC. You definitely don't want to name your dog Mac Brown or something or like Vince Young. I got it. I got it. This is my two dogs, Juice and Vince Young. What happened to Boomer and Sooner? They died.

You don't want to name your your dog Durex. You're funny. You found a way to everybody's thinking about condoms and it's really clever of you.

Thanks. Durex. Dinner. Here's a bone. You know what the chances of those things breaking are? We found out the other night. You know what the chances

of those things breaking are? No. Higher than the chance of the Dolphins making the playoff. Yet they wrote an article about the Dolphins making a playoffs and the Miami Herald. I just didn't know the chances of those things breaking were so high. You people out there need to be careful.

You fucking heathens, fornicators. Sex-Hivers. Also, there was a Lincoln Riley list that was circulating around. He reportedly got $110 million. USC is buying both of his homes and Norman for $500,000 more than the asking price, basically a $1 million bonus. USC is buying a $6 million home for his family in LA. And Riley gets unlimited use of a private jet for his family 24-7.

Call him Mr. Unlimited. You said one part of that was they bought out his homes at a total of what? $500,000 above asking price. So combined million dollar bonus. Oh, okay. I read that wrong. I wonder what's the real estate market like there? Well, that just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, it's probably also with the real estate market in Oklahoma. that's probably like basically they got the houses for free. They bought the houses out. They were $250,000 houses. Making fun of the Oklahoma real estate. You can't do that. You can't do that. That would be bulletin board material.

I respect homes. Oh my God. I didn't think he got it and it's just because you're afraid. I respect property values. You're afraid of going to some, I don't know, where did all the people get together, conference or something, getting just jumped in an alley by two guys from Oklahoma

that's real estate. summits. We sell fucking real estate and still water cowboy boot to the face. I respect property values. You should. I do too. It's all just imaginary anyways.

Fuck, you live next to the water. Great. So anyways, you had a list. I have a list. I don't know if these are good. We're going to read each other's list. Do you want to start with mine? Sure. Okay. Don't look at mine before you. Probably longer than yours. I have a... Just don't look at your

And this is if I was Lincoln Riley if I was going to Southern California Naps anytime Anytime Now what does that mean? That means The practice

Middle of the game No I'm not gonna abuse that But yeah I have the right Okay And then you know like at practice It could be I could be tired I'm always tired

And there's a cot No No no I'm like Hey I'll be back Okay I like it And I don't take short naps, dude. I don't take NASA naps, dude.

I'm not an astronaut. Caffeine-free Dr. Pepper. Yep, that'd be great. Take a lean on Pepsi and get some Dr. Pepper with no poison in it. Nicholas Cage has your get-back guy. That would be so cool. Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?

It would. By the way, Brett Venables? Brett Venables' get-back guy? He's got to go with him. The guy at Clemson? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Brent Venables. Be an adult, I guess, you know?

Stay on the sideline. We get, it's, it's played. Dude, it's called, it's called passion. No. It's good, no. If I was a coach, I would not stay on the sideline. Brent Venables get back coach. His name is smotherman.

That's, his last name is smotherman. That's literally what he does. He smothers men around the waist and he's like, get back. Is that not the most literal professional, Adam Smotherman That's what he does Chick-fil-A and CVS

inside the facility Yeah dude Hell yeah Are you worried about Being a touch unhealthy With all the chick-fil-A No, I'm not gonna eat chick-fil-a every day But a lot of times I'm in the mood for chick-fil-A

And it's Southern California I know they probably have them But there's traffic there So if I want a A lettuce chicken wrap Or hell if I want the regular old sandwich sandwich with pickles and the whole thing. I want that and I want it now.

And with CVS, how many times do you need a toothbrush and you just don't have one? Yeah, I make a lot of trips to CVS. Give me a CVS downstairs. Players can shop there too. Someone to follow you with a power pack. Oh, yeah.

Golly day. I'd like that for you right now. That's my get-back guy. My get-back guy is basically a guy that walks around with one of those power packs. Yeah. I'm like, fucking cell phone's dead. Maybe a calendar guy too.

Maybe that's the same guy. Same guy. Okay. Calendar. Okay. Power cord. Amusement park pass. Pretty simple.

There's a whole host of amusement parks down there in Southern California. And when I show up, I want to be able to go in and everybody leaves, though. Not like, not like, not to be insensitive, but not like I just get some fucking pass and a security guard walks me around. Like, I get to Disneyland. You all leave. Everybody leaves. I'm the coach of USC. I get to Knottesbury Farms. I pet the animals.

You guys got to leave. I want some privacy. I want some private time with the mini pigs. Libreia tarpits. Even Librea tarpits. I don't care if I use it one time every six years. I get there. Everybody clears out. Here's where it starts to get good.

A train inside the facility. Yes, dude. A train. A train inside the facility would be amazing. I'm not talking about a monorail. I'm talking about like an old-fashioned fucking locomotive that takes guys to meetings and stuff. Yes.

Conductor, a caboose, all of it. The whole thing, our football operations guy is always riding in the caboose. Taking notes. Making sure players are good. Yeah, it's amazing. Giant bed. Like shack.

Zero gravity chair. I need that. too, right? I got a bad back. Pornhub premium subscription. Just threw that in there to hear you say it. But also I've heard it's really hard to obtain and you see ads for it all the time. What's behind that door? If I'm Lincoln Riley, I want to know.

Oh, if you're in the ball pit. Yeah, ball pit. Ball pit. What else do I need to say? Okay, that's your list. Your list is way better than mine. I think we just bypass my list. let's do your list. So basically, 32 seconds away from my heart out. Was all of,

all things that would not help on the football field? No, it would read because what would happen would be you'd have a happy coach. And there's, it's like happy wife, happy life. Happy coach. You're going bowling.

I'm happy. I can jump into a ball pit all day. My back doesn't hurt. Is your wife happy with a porn hub account? Oh, it's for making. Take care of my friends. It's important to be, it's a joke. I'm passing the buck here.

That's a good one. Yeah. All your accounts, you don't want known. Yeah. You put your username as one of your friend's names. And then you say, oh, Bill was borrowing my computer. You're my, uh, SID guy. And this was part of your package.

So, I mean, um, Yeah, Reed, if I'm happy, we're going to win football games. And if I ever leave, and this was another thing I was talking about this last night, did you see my little thread? You didn't see my thread on what I would do if I was a head coach and I left a job? I think I did. Yeah, it was on a lot of edibles. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Uh-huh. I would let my players pick where I coach next. I respect them that much. You know, I would bring them to all my job interviews. they would know before I left that I was going to take the job. So you wouldn't have a Brian Kelly situation. Yeah, hire me, dude.

What's behind door number two? A ton of money. Yeah, that was one. Looks like they have that covered. Okay. Okay. Grocery shopper, chef on demand. That's cool.

I have Pornhub Premium and a CVS and a fucking Chick-fil-A. Go ahead. Car, one-year lease. What's the one-year lease? But I want an option for a second year. Like if I light the car, I want to keep going. Gray Tahoe or some such shit. Yeah.

I've always wanted a Tahoe. In fact. How do you feel about my wife getting a Tahoe? Fine. Do you hear she has a Tahoe? Yeah, it's not like a zero sum deal. Other people can have Tahos. I know, but I'm just thinking, you know, like you've got to drive past it and you're like,

I haven't really, I actually haven't seen it yet. I don't, I don't. It's kind of sweet. 10 million housing allowance. Yeah. That makes sense. What area would you live in in? Brentwood?

Yeah, that's tight. Thanks. Don't know that much about it, but it's tight. Team issued gear. You know, you think that's a given, but I really like the gear. I just want to be in there alone in the room with my pick of stuff. Do you remember what Stanford Steve said his whole plan is when he goes to, I don't want to docks it? You wear other schools gear, so then they're like, hey,

not here, buddy. Let me get you some stuff. Didn't really work. The disappointment on his face. when he walked in, if he went to a Virginia Tech game, they just think he was one of many of the fans at the game. You wanna rush our field? Here you go.

I can vacuum. I can dust. I don't want anybody else to know it. Nice ass espresso machine. Those can be expensive. Yeah, that's true. I could imagine.

Framing allowance. So it costs a lot of money to frame things. Oh, like I totally was about to power through that. You really just want somebody that'll help you. Yeah, frame like nice stuff. It takes a long time. Yeah, it takes a long time.

I want a frameer. Yeah. Have the mats in the back. Frame that ticket. Two dog beds from Orvis. And then like four late entries, candles, dessert,

huh. We got dogs. we got espresso. I like what I like. Tahoe. Sounds like my wife. Adherence to time deadlines? Yeah, for sure.

You can go. I'm starting to read around the world. Oh, fuck. Let's have it read. News Bolton. So we mentioned it just a moment ago that we wanted Nicholas Cage as Chris's get-back coach.

Nick Cage is set to play Dracula in the upcoming Dracula movie. Is it a serious movie? Yes. Holy shit. Super serious. The guy has range, man. What can I say?

That right there? That's right. 18 and a half inches. Holy shit. 19 inches. This is a weird skill that you have. Yeah, well. Very weird skill.

Yeah, no. Nick's got range, man. He's got range. Movies going to be called Renfield, also starring Nicholas. Cooled. There's a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Watch it with my son.

Movies actually pretty enjoyable. And Jim Carrey's in it. And there's a sequel coming out in 22. Speaking of movies, read, do with that what you will. There is a Santa shortage as the holiday draws closer. Santa shortage? Yep. There aren't enough Sanas to play Santas across the country.

Not enough Santa's to play Santas. Right. The availability, Santa availability is down 15%. while the need is up 120% from pre-pandemic levels. The need is up 120%? 120%. From before the pandemic? Why do we need so many more Santa's right now than we did in 2019?

Inflation. Oh, Santa inflation. It's also a Christmas tree shortage. That was from... They couldn't plant one year or something. They didn't have to do with the housing crisis or something. crazy like that it had to do with the recession the financial crisis of 2008 hit and people weren't buying Christmas trees right so they said we're not going to plan any exactly and then you know

when they get of age they become they take a decade to grow they take a decade to grow yeah it's liberals man trying to cancel Christmas that's totally going to be an article too that's the funniest thing is I'm totally fucking around and I'm going to read that online at some point shit writes itself the Beatles documentary is receiving high praise it is get back

the Beatles get back made by Peter Jackson I'm in I'm all in on music documentaries yeah I actually got to see that this weekend it was really really good definitely not for casuals if you're not a really strong fan of the Beatles you might not like it I'm a fucking casual you wool. It's about seven hours long, but basically in 1969, the group had 20 days to record the album Let It Be.

And they had a film crew in there that recorded 50 hours of footage and over 100 hours of audio. The director at the time tried to make a movie, but really didn't do a very good job. All the footage got put into a vault for 50 years. And then Peter Jackson took it and painstakingly broke it down to tell a story of the making of Let It Be. And it's just an unbelievable movie with insight into the creative process. It kind of like rewrites the history of the Beatles. Everybody thinks this session was all acrimonious. They hated each other.

But when you watch it, they're laughing, having fun with each other. And what you really get to see is like the pressure of artistic output. Yeah. Against time. Yeah. And what they do, you can see them like writing famous songs in the moment. It's amazing. And as I was watching it, I kind of started thinking about comparing the Beals to the Greenlight crew.

Oh, wow. a few parallels started to come across. Who's the unlucky fuck that got to be the front man? Well, luckily he just fucking left. So I can talk about whatever the fuck I want. Yes. I was actually worried it was going to be awkward.

Lenin is making. Yeah, I'll go through it one by one. This is good. Like, Ringo, to me, is clearly Nate. Ringo is like, goofy, happy to be there. This is good vibes. Just brings good energy.

Keeps the band together, you know. George, is Reed. George is Reed. I think it's Reed. George's a little bit younger, has a fantastic mustache like Reed does. He's crunchy. He's crunchy. Yeah, I literally have crunchy listing.

George is the original originator of the crunch. And like as some time goes in, he starts to be a bigger and bigger part of the band. Just like Reed. And he's spiritual. Yeah. Studies Eastern religion.

You are definitely like Paul. At that point in the band's history. I know nothing about Paul. Paul is like, clearly the leader. He's also producing the entire album in addition to trying to like, write the songs and record the songs and play the instruments. And he's really, really frustrated by John Lennon,

specifically by John Lennon's lack of commitment to the band. No. So basically, Makin is a lot like John, right? He's talented, but he thinks he's a genius. Like John's reading articles about himself while they're supposed to be practicing. He's not here. He left. He left.

And the real problem, the real problem is that his, he's got a constant side piece. So the whole time they're recording the album, John Lennon has Yoko. We're not talking about women. No, we're not. John Lennon has Yoko Ono right by his side the whole time. And my analogy for Yoko Ono is that she's like redacted reality. She's the real estate agency. Oh my God, dude.

It is him. It's him. And congrats to make on his 5K Twitter followers, by the way. Oh, get to 5K. Yeah, love you, makes. Yeah, love you, man. Love you, John. People don't give making the same pass.

They give John Lennon, though. It's the only difference. Most people are like, can you stop being an asshole? I mean, that's fucking genius. Reed, you got anything else? Go, George Harrison. Yeah, dude. That's a good one.

Who's Taylor? Taylor is definitely Alan Parsons. So during the Let It Be recording sessions, famous sound recorder Alan Parsons, who was only 18 years old at the time, got his start, and I'll give myself a favorable comp with Glenn Johns. Glenn Johns, huh?

Never heard of him. That makes me a casual. You know what I'm saying? I am a casual. Let me give you real quick, top three Beatles songs. Did we do this yet, Matt? We did it at the Waffle House, I think.

No, we haven't done it. Okay. give me off the top of the head your top three Beatles songs ish i'll take uh george harrison penned something as number one oh i'll take um the long and winding road is number two and we talked we did talk about this because uh long and winding roads been redone by aritha franklin or was that aritha franklin that Aretha Franklin did it first. That's a Beatles original.

It's a Beatles original. Well, listen, you gotta hear Aretha's. I gotta take for you as you think of maybe the third. And I love something. But the song that really pops for me on Abbey Road, which I'm like, I'm like, oh darling. Is that gonna be looked upon unfavorably by that fucking song rocks?

It's definitely an off-the-board pick, but I mean, You're talking about one of the greatest bands. You're going to have a lot of good songs. Dear Prudence. I'll go with Day in the Life is number three. Even though I don't love the way it ends, it's an amazing song up to that point. While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Okay. Speaking of our guy, George. All right. Y'all take care. After the show's recording today, Chris and Matt realized they forgot to include Rocky Raccoon. They wanted all the listeners to know. that Rocky Raccoon is indeed in their top three, both of their top threes, and they wanted to make sure that that song was not forgotten.

So everyone, please know that Matt and Chris love the Beatles song, Rocky Raccoon.
