I am very sincerely upset about the way they have treated this character.
See, like, having come in a piecemeal and watched them all in the wrong order and figuring this out, like, I understand why you're mad at Jason Statham, but also I love Jason Stadham a lot.
So, like, I can't understand people being mad at him because to me he's always Jason Statham.
He killed Han.
Yeah, he killed, he killed a family member, and then he is immediately welcomed into the family.
And he's invited to the cookout?
No.
I mean, Christ was about forgiveness.
Christ didn't own a car
You don't know that
He drove a donkey
Which was
basically the muscle car of its time
See? That's true, yes
See? Everybody else is on camels
Like way up high off the ground like SUVs?
Donkey that's low
It's cornered baby
Scrapes the ground
Rippin through the streets of Jerusalem
Like the Toyota SSTI
The Toyota SELica of Gala
The Italian Christmas donkey was the original Lamborghini.
See?
Sports car.
Welcome to the shutdown fullcast.
You are listening to the Internet's only college football podcast.
If you want one, another one, you're mistaken.
This is all you need.
This is the only one that you got.
So enjoy it.
I am Spencer Hall, and I am here to say that...
Go to hell, solid verbal.
No, no.
That's what he wants to say.
No.
Although, what is the most...
They were, like, amazed that Dan Rubenstein can drink, like, 48 ounces of liquid at once.
Liquid or, like, alcohol?
Water was the liquid in...
I mean, now, liquid is an open discussion, isn't it?
If I was like, you can drink 48 ounces of motor oil every morning, taking that bad boy down.
That's a different thing.
Wait, what?
Dan can drink, like, gallons of water in one gulp?
Like a whale?
Yeah.
You can just take it down like a camel.
just huh does he spit at you camels do that potentially yeah i know that i know that i can take down
like i can drink a 40 in one go that's not hard so i'm not thinking 64 ounces is like a big stretch
in terms of like one continuous chug okay we went from 48 to 40 to 64 yeah no i'm right
in that range i think like another third on top of that capacity wise i can do that
Go to hell, solid verbal.
I just want to reiterate.
Welcome to the only volumetric capacity podcast on these here internets.
Ryan, you're our resident Florida native.
What the fuck, dude.
Don't put that on him.
A title that, no, we've said it multiple times, and it's accurate.
Not making that up.
You're the only Florida native here on this podcast, correct?
I guess that's true.
Yeah.
I don't even claim it, right?
like I just have exposure but I don't I wasn't born with this virus you it's in your DNA at least my parents are from Florida oh wait they're not they moved there and then they had me
this is where we didn't we talk about this just a little while ago this is why I think you fly low as a Floridian because your parents came there from California yeah and so you're able you have you have like the tall grass of outsider ancestry yeah do you think do you think they got there and they and before
they were like that can't be too different than california i don't want to think about this too hard
honestly like how every time is tampa how florida is tampa yeah i mean your parents named a kid
todd so they fucked up somewhere once all right what did you want to ask me as the florida native
on this podcast he's just talking about sonic the hedgehog again he didn't actually have a question
what's the most what's the most no we're not talking about nebraska natives we're talking about
florida natives and i wanted to ask earthworm jim what is our producer asked before the show why
our last show ran two hours of recording gosh who could say this is kind of how it went so ryan
what city in florida consistently produces the most stress and drama like if you had to say what the most
stressful city in the entire state of Florida was what would you say huh um i mean like i'm going to
exclude tallahassee and the state capitalness of it because i feel like that's unfair
because that would be my first answer i think it's probably jacksonville number two
jacksonville with if you take away the they're like hey ron dsantis works here part of tallahassee
second in the state of Florida.
So they've got that going for him.
Yeah.
So yeah, I'll say Jacksonville.
I think you're correct because if Urban Meyer really wants to coach there.
What?
Which is a rumor.
Is this the first you're hearing about Holly?
I can't.
Holly is a good enough factor.
Okay.
All right.
Yep.
I, um, today is my first day off.
Both of my jobs since like August.
Yeah.
and i have spent most of it not on the internet and the times i have spent on the internet i have
spent it yelling at georgia's secretary of state so who is not really yeah yet not yet not yet
but i think if that is actually something that will come to fruition and urban meyer is very
serious about this job. He has to consider the constant drama that is Duval County. That is
Jacksonville. I mean, if Cat Williams says it's stressful and it's wild, I'm just going to
accept that it's stressful and it's wild because Cat Williams got arrested for drama in the
middle of a parking lot of a Walmart in DeKalb County once. So he knows drama and he knows
stress and he thinks Jacksonville stressful. It's got to be stressful. I just have one little
piece of evidence though because i know urban mire in the past stress has taken a great toll on
it this is happening right now in the city of jacksonville this is from garrett dennis a
councilman in the city of jacksonville he was uh he was asked by uh someone on twitter
saying hey wasn't it you who was making thousands of phone calls
to another woman who wasn't your wife was it work related at least the mayor sticks
by his wife and in response this councilman said I want to thank the mayor who
retweeted this for referencing my wife which I thought was off limits
opens the door for me asking if yours knows about your trips to Clay County to be
with hired women that's a that's a councilman at least those hired women get paid
That's true. It's a business.
I also just learned that Ron DeSantis was born in Jacksonville, so please continue.
Lots to answer for, huh, Duvall?
Responsible for Blake Bortles, Ron DeSantis, and now this, the entire Jacksonville Jaguar's franchise.
Yeah. The amount of misery that, oh, and by the way, big coffee plant, the amount of nervous energy that,
that the city of Jacksonville
has been responsible for over the years
is incalculable.
It's like if Ren and Stimpy was a metropolis.
Wow, that is hauntingly accurate.
Steampy.
On a lot of levels.
We're going to win the AFC title.
Okay.
Call the police.
It's Jags, it's big.
It's heavy, it's wood.
It's not better than bad, though.
that's that's why it stops thank you appreciate it if they could be better they could um
the mayor by the way when somebody when he posted a picture a couple days ago somebody he posted
him and his wife just you know yucking it up on new year's somebody under the title of
impeach lennie curry on twitter said god damn your wife is ugly too holy shit how much do you have
to pay her annually to stick by you to which lennie curry replied name the place show your face
I'll be there.
Mayor is just,
mayor's just out here a while.
He's,
this is not the first time
he has been too active on Twitter.
This is maybe the furthest he's gone.
A little servant wife guy.
Yeah.
Is a tough intersection.
Yeah, he needs to be far less online.
Basically.
He was born in Key West.
So,
he should be much more relaxed.
What the hell did you leave for, dude?
Fair.
Get back down there.
I mean, that's a mistake.
He went to high school, Middleburg.
By the way, where is this guy who's far too online and brawling on Twitter?
Wasting all this time?
Where did he go to school?
University Florida, baby.
I heard that echo in my own headphones.
He's a gator.
So I'm just saying, you're ready to step into this.
If you're ready to step into this morass,
if you're ready to just go ahead and come in the steam room,
get in this pressure cooker called
Duval County, Urban Meyer.
I don't know, man.
You might not be ready.
Look, I mean, look at the coaches who have proceeded,
who he would have, like, followed, though.
Like, how long was Jack Del Rio the coach of the Jaguars?
Yeah, but does Jackdell really even know where he is most of the time?
Dude, he was there.
He was there from 2003 to 2011.
I bet he'd be surprised if you told him.
told him that you said dude you live there for like nine years you're like what crazy
that's nuts man and i mean i identify if you told me like hey you live there for this
many years i'd be like ah couldn't be that many no way yeah you put an axe in the locker
room and everything someone hurt their foot with it oh it's crazy i don't remember this being
the case but on jack del rio's wikipedia page it says in january 2010 he was
offered the head coaching job at USC, where he played.
And the next day, he denied receiving an offer and later rebuffed the offer officially
and saying he would stay with the Jaguars.
And in November 2011, he got fired.
And who did they hire in 2010?
Oh, wow.
It's all coming full circle, isn't it?
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
They hired Lane Kiffin.
Yeah.
Elaine Kiffin.
Outbackball champion.
At backball, that's right.
That's right.
Defending the Fowler of the SEC, unlike some teams.
I expect Florida to get up for a non-appetizer-based game.
How?
Do they not understand strip ball culture?
We can't get motivated for that.
Nope.
There wasn't a single pool.
There wasn't a pool supply on the line.
There was not a jamba juice on the line.
there was no appetizer guaranteed no not even like not even like the promise of a fajita
not a not a differently flavored vape than the one we normally pick up
no oatmeal that's right mountain dew and bucarty mountain dew mountain dew mountain
wait is that an option it is now hmm peanut butter don't get me excited
that's there's going to be some florida detective show the next five years
a man enters the room and goes peanut butter vape ah moriarty at c i s orlando yeah
florida mori did we kill jason i think we did i was uh trying to figure out if sonic is from
nebraska where's tales from oh shit is tales wisconsin i mean i feel like tales is far more
midwestern than sonic is tales is the humble like like uh heart on a sleeve good nature
you know not a lot of attitude right right right i'm feeling like tails is from
salt of the earth guy yeah but tales is a juggalo is tail's upper peninsula like even more
sincere wow that feels knuckles to me yeah i was gonna say could you see tails setting their
And Knuckles is, like, deep into Maine.
I can also see Knuckles living in the Ozarks.
Yeah.
Get out of here.
I'll punch you.
I thought you were fast.
I thought you were fast, but yeah, I like punching, too.
It's called Knuckles because he runs the local coffee shop, and that's his signature dish.
I got the right to bear arms with fists on them.
Yeah.
knuckles definitely has some extremely problematic politics so yeah ozarks put them in the ozarks so but going back to that full you keep working on that jason going back to that yeah we are full circle because uh lane kiffin he he had a flight to catch they had to leave him at the airport management changed at usc and and who did they hire to replace him that's right fellow co-offensive coordinator from their national title teams who steve sarkeesian
Surely the first and only time that Sark has replaced Kiffin, right?
No, no.
The second time.
He did it twice.
Replaced him at Alabama.
When did Kiffin coach Texas?
When Kiffin was like, yeah, I don't know, I'm going to get another job.
And Nick was like, bye.
When Kiffin just happened to receive an extension hours before Texas hired Sark.
Mm-hmm.
On the heels of a four and five season.
I'm going to level with y'all.
As long as he didn't take Auburn, nothing else.
Lane was going to do this off season was going to satisfy me.
Can I interest you in the New York Jets?
Never mind.
Astronautics or counselor, thank you.
I just want to see that first press conference.
Hey, guys.
How you do it?
Boo!
Make the noise again.
No.
Everyone at Jets Press conferences, journalists included,
boo like their like Shakespearean hecklers.
Yeah, that's some Princess Bride shit.
Yeah.
Filth.
Rubbish.
Rubbish.
Throwed tomatoes at the stage.
You had true love and Ole Miss, and you throw it away.
For what?
The Jets job!
They won't love you like we love.
That's true.
will not that is true yeah i although really like it's got to be so easy to get hired with the
jets like the johnson family they've been rich for so long they have three brain cells and don't
need anymore that's just how much money they have so if you're a head coach they're like well you
know what i like what football they're like this guy gets it hire him dan mullen's totally
dan mullen's totally getting this job because we're talking about this now the jets job okay
just speak it out between between now and whenever this show comes out i
I bet Dan Mullen gets this job.
Okay.
I'm pissed at how right you are.
Because the knock on Dan Mullen everywhere else is like,
he really doesn't interview that well.
He's not that compelling.
But like the Jets hired Adam Gase.
This is like, at what point have they been like, yeah, you know what?
Charisma and leadership.
Those are the two things we look for.
Absolutely.
Oh, God.
Yeah, we need somebody, we need somebody innovative.
We need somebody who understands college quarterbacks.
Oh, God.
Do you think Rex Ryan interviewed well?
Are you kidding me?
He was probably showing you half-nude pictures of his wife.
No, just the feet.
Which half?
That's the half that's nude.
That's it, just the feet.
She's half feet.
Her half foot, her foot half?
Yeah.
Her foot half, yeah.
Please don't email us.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's built like a South Park character.
She's just all feet, man.
I we haven't even like we just got to the point where we were like oh yeah
Sarkesian Texas fired Tom Herman three weeks after they were like no it's good
I need to talk about something yeah go ahead I think at the time when Chris Delcanti
gave Tom Herman they dreaded vote of confidence if I remember correctly
we avoided really dwelling on the fact that he had received
the dreaded vote of confidence because the term dreaded vote of confidence is a cliche right it's
it's so it's so deeply embedded as natural law in our universe that there's no point in dwelling on it
so we all kind of gave that little sad disinterested laugh ha ha dreaded vote of confidence and
moved on here's the thing dreaded vote of confidence became a cliche within our ecosystem
because it happens all the time.
And I, for one, forgot about that.
It was four days before signing day that out of the other Texas' AD says,
he is our coach and he will continue to be our coach.
Signing Day happens.
And he did continue to be the coach for a few more weeks
with the signatures official in locked in and then won a bowl game
and then he was no longer the head coach.
And those signatures are still locked in.
Like, not a lot of them, but, you know,
several four-star athletes who quite possibly would have signed elsewhere.
yeah it's really cool thanks chris so you think they would naturally go this far and pay this much money somewhere around i don't know
twenty four million dollars in total buyouts that they're going to have to just pay out has it ever been clearer
that there is nobody in charge at that school took you three weeks dude like there's nobody in charge
three weeks how if you if it takes you three weeks to make a decision and
get everything straight you're not in charge you're not like i don't know who runs texas i really
don't sentient message boards run texas now sentient message boards can at least like
launch campaigns right yeah yeah i mean look at look at their not at all rivals at texags
i thought you're going to bring up k-pop's eggs can you run the tex athletic department please
they probably could at least better i i know who won their bowl
game both both programs okay tied who's who's got a coach that you know like they locked down
and that they lock down for like guaranteed money in 10 years that's an extremely
yeah that's some extremely message board shit by the way to be like we should pay them
85 000 million dollars for 20 years lock him down put a fence around jimbo
have none of these people ever been married
Jimbo has.
Um, yeah, oh, God.
Chomp, chomp.
Who, yeah.
But, by the way, Jimbo, Jimbo was scooting last night.
Like, he hasn't scooted in years.
It's the billionaire scooting buggy.
Yeah.
Sitting there dodging, dodging fire left and right with the first step that had me thinking, like,
he probably ran like a 4-8.
He's an athlete.
4-9, somewhere around there.
You had a quick first step.
I still think they should have done the thing where they hit him.
They run up on him with what is obviously and visibly a large container of confetti.
And they shower him with it and like, ha ha, got you coach.
And then the second he turns away, they're right behind him with icy blue Gatorade cooler in the face.
You really got to, if you want to get Jimbo with the Gatorade, you've got to flank him with a pincor movement.
Because he'll spot your first encroachment.
And you got to have a second jug there.
approach you from the other side.
I think if you go back and watch like a minute before,
yes, at least with that 10-yard split.
He's quick off the line.
I don't know if he can keep it up over a full 40,
but if you watch like,
it was like a minute or two before the dowsing.
There were a few players planning their approach toward Jimbo.
And a GA, a staff, or something like that,
some pretty young dude in a polo came up and waved him off,
told him to go back.
That's also the dude who's running with the jug at the end.
So that dude tried to out-scheme Jimbo,
should have gone through with it right then and there when they had the opportunity.
But he said, no, no, no, it's not time. It's not time.
You got to take your target acquired. Fire it. Don't wait till the game's over.
He valued his scheme more than the circumstances and it cost him.
Yeah, he scripted his plays when, in fact, should have called Audible. It's right there.
Dunk the coach now. He'll yell at you, but so what?
Everybody's got a plan until you get hit in the face with Gatorade.
One of these days, we'll get a team that does it in the third quarter.
Just to get it out of the way.
Just to say they did it.
I hope it's Alabama.
Nick Saban is the maddest person on earth for a full hour.
Coaching the last 19 minutes of the game soaked in red can.
This did happen to LSU last year, of course, or two years ago, but that involved seven overtime.
But yeah, I went Nick Zaven dunked at halftime as he is talking to CBS about all the things he hates about his 35 point halftime lead.
Yeah, as he's barking, darn headphones don't work.
Well, the coach, they don't work because we doused him with wet gatorade.
I think I've spotted the problem here, coach.
I would also take, I would also take, uh, blast the coach with dry Gatorade powder instead.
Oh, man, that's going to get, you're going to get cinnamon in your lungs.
I know, you're going to give him some kind of baker's lung thing where he's like, I don't know,
it makes crispy noises when I breathe and I weave all the time.
looks like a fucking lime green ghost
let's just hit him at SEC media
day just do that just dress up like
Alabama players and take the podium
you've been fucking you've been fucking fun-dipped
coach just a big fucking
lebron uh chalk clap
right in his face
oh mango
gross
chomp chom oh god
no i just i just
lick my arm whenever i need a little pep
throughout the game.
Saban getting so
heated that his headphones weren't working.
Oh God. I was so
happy in that moment.
His team's only beating Notre Dame at that
point by something like 14 or 17
points. The shame.
Yeah. And they bring him up
and he can't hear. He's like, what?
What? It doesn't. I'm sorry.
I can't. What? No. No.
Oh, fine. Yeah, I'll do
the interview. Like he's so
angry. His anger makes me so
happy. You know he's yelled.
You know he's screamed in a room by
himself. What the hell's buffering?
Terry?
Haven't we all?
It's been a while.
I like the coach is still on
1997 internet.
I don't trust in it's
Casa. I only trust
internet that I have to call with the phone.
It doesn't make
the noise. You know the noise I'm talking about?
that's actually the noise that nick makes when you plug him in at night to charge to
charge insert two to insert little debby's insert little debby's so texas went and uh they
fired tom herman and this is getting to the important stat for me which is so surely they
went out and they hired somebody with a better win percentage and then tom herman um Steve
Sarkasian's win percentage overall and his stops at Washington and then at USC.
His win percentage is a total of 568.
568 overall.
It's 81 and 46 or I'm sorry, he's 46 and 35 as a head coach with a two and two record
and bowls.
Surely that's got to be better than Tom Herman.
because Tom Herman overall has a oh look at that he's got a 7-11 overall with the 640 at Texas and is 5 and 1 in bowl games
I know he always aced the final exam as I said and managed to pull his grade up a little bit
toward the end of the year but yeah so they went out they spent 24 million dollars to go get a dude
with a worse winning percentage
than the guy
they just fired.
Yeah, but Spencer,
this guy just led an offense
that scored a lot of points
with Alabama football players.
You know how hard that is to do?
You know, Steve Sarkisian does run the best offense,
which is, I'm going to have better players than you.
That's an amazing offense if you can get it.
What are you going to do?
Well, I like to have Matt Liner
throw to Dwayne Jarrett
or Mark Sanchez throw in to Stefan Johnson
or handed it off to him.
I like to have Reggie Bush.
It's really good if you can get a Reggie Bush
and a Lendell wait on the field at the same time.
Do you have a Devante Smith?
I find that having a Devante Smith
is it a crucial ingredient in any great offense.
He probably wouldn't say that about Mac Jones, right?
It's nice to have one.
her.
Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, it's better than some of the alternatives.
I mean, he's, I think he's leading the country and passervating still.
So, yeah, pretty nice to have.
I mean, he seems okay.
But yeah, I think so.
Seems okay.
Seems fine.
That is typically what that means.
But, yeah, right now, a 203, last year, Joe Burrow had a 201.9.
So, yeah, he's doing fine.
Mac Jones also from Jacksonville
Is he?
Yeah
Oh dear
Maxonville
Yep
So he's gonna get that's who they're drafting
Oh my God if they did that
Also
With the first pick in the NFL draft
We select Mac Jones
Mac Jones of course was once a Kentucky commit
So there's a fun alternate history for you
Him just handing off
40 times a game
And then the game's over
And that's it
That's his entire college career
Oh God, the Jags are going to select him
This is happening
It's going to be Trevor
Nope, Mac Jones, okay
He's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming home home home
Mama's calling Mama called
Mama called she needs bail
She said, are you stupid?
Not all Mama calls are good
Most of them are not
Yeah
Mama called your daddy's getting arrested
On the golf course again
mama called collect
oh yeah
I don't I don't know what Texas
this is like I don't know what Texas is doing
so I
we should preface all this by saying like
nobody actually knows how
coaching hires are going to work out every year
like there are ones that seem stupid
that work really like
the team Texas beat in the bowl game
Colorado ended up like with
I think like Carl Jarrell, at least based on very limited year one information,
that looks like a fine hire.
It didn't at the time.
It wasn't exciting or interesting or it was interesting, but it wasn't like, oh, yeah, really sound decision making here.
It seemed bizarre.
And then you have Tom Herman who was like, oh, that's no doubt.
Look what he did in Houston.
Now give him Texas money.
Right.
Remember a must champ?
Nope.
Sure don't.
No, remember how specifically salty I was with the two of y'all?
Because y'all had gotten must champ.
Oh, no, I honestly don't.
I don't remember.
Were you?
Yeah, I was.
Oh, my God.
You remember this.
Can you imagine him in Tennessee after they put up like two points for nine weeks that are
rogues or working on it?
We're working on it.
It actually would have been real interesting because there's a,
faction of Tennessee, including members of my own family, who would have seen the two points and
been like, that's just, that's just as much offense as we need. We don't want to be showy.
That's right. You know what? Those games are quick, if nothing else.
I mean, he has a winning record in Neeland, right?
My point is, like, I honestly have no idea. And I have long given up prognosticating
whether a hire is good or bad.
I will say this.
When the Sark hire was announced,
one of the things that came with it
to sort of like make Texas fans excited about it
was like, oh boy, wait a little you see this staff
he's going to bring in.
It's going to be fucking awesome.
And then a day later,
I have to look at Twitter
and see something from one of the many
Texas football websites out there
that is like Mike Stoops is not coming to Texas.
So I'm like, okay.
something
what is happening
it's over
where did we get lost
from like
holy shit
this lineup guys
you are going to be
fucking floored
to Mike Stoops
is not coming to death
what happened
do you move along
to fucking Steve Stoops
Yep
Carl Stoops
How far down
No relation
You laugh
But don't forget
There's a Ron
How deep are you
Plum in the Stoops
pile
Shoup stoop's
I got this
No we got last stoops
Lyle Stoops
How far are you stooping
The Italian stooping
Primero Stoops
How far are you stooping to conquer
Zebulon Stoops
Been off the grid for 15 years
Coming in to run special teams
Three English majors on this call
Getting after it like an old prospector
Zebulon Stoops
That's a state rancher
series right there it is another steppeeland stupe is absolutely getting the look i can't
really like i don't know what's going to work either it is fun i think to just go yeah i don't
like realistically what do you expect to happen at texas given what everyone else is done there like
let me just blackbox it's like not sarkesian let's just take another guy another guy
I've seen enough people go into that job now who I thought were pretty good at what they did
and they end up with the same problems and the same teams and they just kind of all look the same
so I don't know maybe maybe you're the guy who fixes that maybe you're the guy who gets it
all together I don't think the problem there is necessarily one that the coach can solve
well this is this is what's interesting is that rumoredly Sark like didn't could have maybe
gotten the Auburn job didn't really get far along in the process to say like yes he was offered
it whatever but decided not decided to sort of like pull himself out of the running because as we
all know at this point things were just a shit show like different factions and boosters not on the same
page undercutting blah blah blah to say like whoa Auburn you are a fucking mess yes I will take the
Texas job that's stability I didn't really thought about that but you
Like, that's wild to me.
It's like, whoa, hang on, I'm not buying a boat.
Those things are crazy.
What I will buy is a houseboat because then I can live on it as well.
Listen, I'm not here to play on insane difficulty, just madman difficulty.
See, it's real estate and it's on the water.
See, you always got waterfront property when you own a houseboat.
That's a tofer.
God.
I'm not playing Oregon Trail as peasant.
I mean, at least getting a shovel or something.
diseased shovel i mean please remember in the last three weeks this had happened at texas which
was this chris delcante no we're not going after urban mire every booster who could call
somebody who would listen we're going after urban mire don't tell anyone like i hadn't seen
like that's i hadn't seen that since tennessee in the group of boosters who would just go talk to
john gruden and john gruden would say so was the president on board what are you guys doing
I don't know you, and he's like, no, that's cool.
I'm pretty sure John Gruden was like,
so you guys comp in this, we get in dessert?
Speaking of not every mama calls is a good call, John Gruden.
But Mama kept calling.
It's more like a distant ante.
Yeah.
Remember me?
That is a mother-in-law situation, right?
That's a mother-in-law, technically.
There is a funny path here where Sark does really well at Texas.
Urban has a terrible fucking time coaching the Jaguars and he has to watch it from a far.
God damn it.
I knew I shouldn't have taken the fuck.
My fucking agent told me, hold out, take the Jaguars job.
Duval.
Oh, and agents now.
Agents now need that cut, right?
Especially now that like agencies like CA are involved and they're under pressure from like hedge funds to increase returns.
You're just going to see people taking jobs that like they have no business taking.
I don't even, why would an agent want you to go to the pros?
Stick around and just work the buyout circuit.
Yeah, because going to the pros, you can't even get fired at 8 and 8.
That doesn't seem like a great, a great rondelay from the agent perspective.
Do you want to keep somebody as attractive as possible for as long as possible,
with as maximum pull as possible?
And get them fired as frequently as possible.
Yeah.
Which is what they were trying to.
to do with clay helton whoops they fucked around and are stuck with clay helton for god knows how long
and surely clay hilton wriggle out of this mess and who did clay hilton come after well nevertheless
so clay hilton is clay hilton's next up for alabama and then tex or the jacks yeah or some
clay hilton be perfect for the pros because people would be like who's that i love the kiffin sark clay
pipeline because it's like all right we got to dial it down let's get like like
the less the less poster version of kiffin bring in sark and then even sark is like oh gosh we need to
dial this down we need the most boring guy possible get get the creative coach get him out here yeah
can i get the for sensitive stomachs version give me the maylock sark yeah gluten-free sark
can i get the can i get the senior cat formula version of lean
kiffin yeah go get clay hilton can i get can i get a can i get a plain kiffin yeah wow
yeah that's that's what you're talking about man by the way kiffin getting extension off four
and five and this year finesse but it's i think it's more because he is uh out recruiting arkansas
by like a spot that's probably he couldn't beat him on the field but but out recruiting
arkansas is probably what did it like he goes four and five let's matt corral like gets
mack carell out there lets him throw like five thousand times a game has one of the worst
defenses in fb s is exciting and throws his clipboard 300 feet in the air and his agent's like
so how bad it'll miss and old miss is like we'll give you 900 million dollars to just stay and say you
love us and kiffin's in the corner with the karaoke bite going finesse oh miss got be real familiar
with that arrangement i got finesse oh god that's so good i'm so happy that he did that
you're just it's also it's also the phrasing like i'm looking at the press release now and it's
it's headlined old miss commits to kiffin with new contract
i think they tweeted it with like old miss invests in its future
it's fucking win
let's invest in a solid
bond like Lane Kiffin
Lane Kiffin I'd like to marry you
Why you can't call
Lane Kiffin in investment
Again we're back to the houseboat
The houseboat is not an investment
Just because you can drink and fall asleep
In the same vessel without breaking the law
You can drink and fall asleep in any vessel
Yeah legally
Oh legally I parked that thing
drop banker full sleep drunk on it i'm good and by the way that's not true but my understanding
of boat law because i am not a coastal carolina grad it's very poor at best but yeah we're back to
the houseboat again you don't invest in lane kiffman don't sell this to be like it's going to have
an annual return that just keeps going up over the years okay there's going to be ups there's going to be
downs and and actually this makes it the most old miss investment of all because go look at the
win percentages for old miss over the years that thing is an irregular
like cardiogram whole thing just all over the map so kind of perfect well done old miss i also
like that old miss was like we're committing to lane kiffin and people were like what are the details
of the detail of the deal and they're like we're not going to tell you we're committed that's
it we're having a baby is it yours i'm not commenting on that we're having a baby who's baby a baby
by the way, that announcement does not say Kiffin committing to Old Miss, does it?
No.
It doesn't.
Hell no.
You can't leash a tiger?
You crazy?
Yeah, you know what?
This is an open relationship.
What does that mean?
That's a lion.
I'm openly awesome.
That's what this means.
It's an open relationship because my receivers, they're open all the time.
Throw, baby.
Matt Corral's winning the highs been next year.
Just throwing that out there.
With 30 interceptions.
Yeah, she can have throwing it out there.
this is going to be one of those rare actual heisman and people's heisman confluence years 100% oh yeah it's gonna happen like we'll get this guy who like we're like no no way he can do it and then eight weeks in the season will be like i think it's happening it's happening it's gonna win with 60 t ds and like 30 interceptions easy so i was looking at uh i just googled the word beans and clicked shopping beans are in the news have you seen this have you heard of this yeah uh and uh bush's baked beans
or 99 cents a can at a target near you.
If I were to use my retirement fund
at acorns.com slash full cast,
cash it all out right now,
give up all my future on a houseboat
and invest entirely in canned baked beans from Target.
Spencer, that's how I could afford 111 cans of baked beans, folks.
Shit.
That is so many lessons for my daughter
on how to use household,
equipment. But I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that because we already have beans.
We're going to eat the current beans and let the acorns fund grow because it is very easy to add
the nickels and dimes from individual purchases, beans or otherwise. And once those dollars
are in there, they grow magically like an acorn in the dirt. No one knows how acorns grow and no one
knows how the investment market works. But this app taps into that magic and makes number go bigger.
acorns.com slash fullcast to begin the process of opening your can of investment i will say this i
actually joined acorns this week big news hey that i salute a toast to you my partner in retirement
eventually yeah planting some seats i used the uh i used the family plan because i wanted to
just set up a little just a little count for my boys just you know teach them about hey put this aside
see what happens.
Let it grow.
Are you going to let them...
How'd that gone?
Yeah, are you going to let them
fuck with it?
Absolutely.
And I know what will happen.
One of them will 100%
invest in like...
He'll be like,
you need to invest in the candy
and bus companies.
Mark buses and candies.
Invest in the truck fund.
$100 on anime dogs.
Buy!
No, that's the other one.
Invest in trains and anime dogs,
you know?
And that account
will actually beat the market
by 400%
right in the snow in the snowpiercer universe you're rich yeah and we're headed that way anyway and he'll be
totally right uh the other one will blow it it's completely blow it i know that's what the other one does
which is why i'm going to rely on the sound investment advice this house is a walking stanford
marshmallow experiment the failing side of it yes was there a good side of it yes yes a lot of good
sorry i'm thinking of the stanford prison experiment yeah there's also that going on here too um
but I set up a couple accounts for the kids and the performance so far wow the market gain
29% for my initial investment by the way that means we're up 29 cents but it's popping all right
we're an ass yeah and that's just in like the last three days since I set it up so acorns is
already paying dividends for my family and our future wealth that's the kind of turnaround
that gets you an extension of an old mess buddy
Ole Miss is investing in Spencer Feet.
But yeah, watch the playoff games.
They were both highly enjoyable.
Yeah, that was, huh, that second one got interesting.
I mean, Notre Dame, in hindsight, put a pretty darn good fight.
They covered.
That was way more competitive than some other things.
things some other games that transpired clemson put up a bad fight not much of one they did they put up
a bad sloppy dad gets too drunk in the florida panhandle on vacation kind of fight that was the
what was the what was the city where all the fireworks accidentally got led at once yeah that was
this this was their san diego fourth of july because in the first like 10 minutes the game you're
like oh yeah clemson's oh the show is over oh we ran it
out of fire oh oh go home mm-hmm um you know what clemson had clemson had exactly 10 minutes
worth of good ideas they did they had a stand-up comedy well that's quibby you're talking about
quibby yeah quibs i was talking about that is it too late to buy that it is investment dollars
it is because with our pooled resources we would be close but hulu actually just bought their archives
fuck shit yeah so Hulu bought all of Quibi's content so gonna have to buy it is so you can just get the
Queby idea now I just say it is real fucked up that you knew that oh that's yeah that's because I
have an alert for Queby that's how addicted that was that's how I like that Spencer doesn't
check his personal email where people he knows may be reaching out to him but he set up an
alert for Queby well of queby I know which one's not going to give me
anything but pleasure.
Reading about Quibi's demise.
You and what golden arm?
Yeah, that's it. I'm going to go on Hulu
and I'm going to watch that show about the girl's
damn golden arm.
Oh, fuck. I hope Sark's first
press conference in Austin
comes out with that golden arm.
Behold!
And I will use it to
raise my golden hat when I
beat Oklahoma.
Actually, the boosters at
Texas would really respond to that. They'd be like,
Damn, he's got a golden arm.
Look at that thing.
That sucker's rich.
I love it.
We're not scared anymore.
Jimbo would just look down on his legs and he'd be like, boys, y'all got to go.
You're fast and you're pretty.
It's time for those diamond legs.
I've been working on diamond legs for 15 years.
They call me Diamond legs, Jim.
Well, around here, all we do is sing about sawing them off, so.
Old, old diamond, old diamond legs, Jimbo.
I'm more ATM machine than man now.
Just him fancy, like, just him unveiling them with a tear-off pants, right?
And then Sark, talking that.
Sark becoming fucking Sark Vader.
In a whole metallic suit.
My love for you burns hotter than my legless torso, Texas.
oh yeah i it's over a and m notre dame has the high ground fuck you i'm rich i think pit has the
higher ground right they got a hill that's true clemson i think most clompson has the
hit's obi won yeah oh oh yeah clipson has the incredible elevation advantage
over there they did they did they've been struck down though oh i mean listen obi won
And Obi-Wan's arc doesn't just go up.
To be clear, Obi-Wan has a very
Clemsony arc.
Like, boy, things are going very well.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
If you strike me down, I will...
If you strike me down, I will secure a five-star commitment.
I'm fumbling.
That's the best part about that,
is that from a certain perspective,
yeah, it looks like Obi-Wan transcends mortality
and heads into the next plane
to join the greats and teaches Luke the lesson
that he needs to learn, having completed his mission
on this plane. However, also,
it's just him going, if you strike me down,
and Vader going like, yeah.
Honestly, I think it was March,
and Obi-Wan just didn't want to do his taxes.
That is actually why you and McGregor
came back to do that show.
Fuck, all these fucking receipts.
Fuck it. Just kill me, dude.
I mean, the man had been on the run for a while.
That's right.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, Jesus. My save deposit box.
on Aldron, fuck!
I think that does
trail well, that does sort of pattern
Clemson, you know, because
they're like, yeah, I'm very tired. I could continue
doing this, or I could just let you run by me.
Well, Justin Fields throws
the ball over my head.
Speaking of Justin Fields,
yeah, but... It sounds like you want to talk about Ohio
State. I'd love to talk about
the bucks. Let's talk about him.
The blacks.
Ohio State.
Coming at you.
The Tigers.
They're kings.
I need some tanner for the winner.
That's all I got.
Ryan, that was exquisite.
That was great, Ryan.
I'm so broken.
Chiquotow!
Yeah, I don't.
I don't really know.
whether i don't know how big a win this was except in the emotional sense because i sort of
think clemson was uh clemson really didn't match up well with them at all and clemson was like
ah you know evidently not as good as we thought they were i don't know if this is a matter of
ohio state being amazing but of maybe clemson catching the what turned out to be a demonstrably
soft ac c for most of the year even with the addition of notre dame
No, no, ACC just beat itself up.
ACC weakened itself.
That's what happened.
To the point where they went 0 and 6 in bowl season.
Yep, yep, they tuckered themselves out.
The grueling ACC schedule.
They did play 23 games this year.
The first post I saw this morning,
knew it was going to be an awesome day of posting,
was John Feinstein saying he's sick of the ACC being overrated
and all the replies being,
when the fuck did that happen, John Feinstein?
Who the hell overrated the ACC?
I'm glad some of you can still see that.
That bitch has me blocked.
Who has ever overrated the ACC?
Holly, I'm going to tell him you're a troop, and then he'll respect you again.
No, just tell him I called him a bitch again.
Just like Coach Knightwood.
I'm over here practicing identity politics, John, by which I mean you're a huge bitch, and I'm not.
My identity is being awesome, and yours is not.
That's my identity politics.
Enormous bitch.
I don't.
David Hale, who's just a wonderful college football writer and a devotee of the ACC and who probably knows as much about the conference as anyone who has ever covered it and is exact about it.
Today on Twitter was just like, yeah, this conference sucks.
It's just like in the power of five.
He comes by that opinion honestly, too.
He's like, I know we went on six in bowls and you can kind of contextualize.
a lot of losses there but like go back and look at the record over the last 10 years
of the conference versus all power five competition it's the worst it's not even close
there's ups and downs for other conferences there's ebbs and flows there are the variations
one might expect over the course of time involving one conference playing everyone else
and the acc it's just continual like low balling and flatlining but everyone's already
known this i mean and like david like they will back up his work and he'll say like listen
this isn't just a meme no one's slandering the acc
here are the records here are the facts or other seats but like at no point has anyone ever you know i
guess i'm still stuck on the the feinstein idea at no point is anyone ever disagreed with this
remember that john feinstein took the concord home so he could see a sick cat
at the there's nothing wrong with that at the expense of his employer no that was you're
making him sound cool yeah that's the one thing i've agreed with him on ever this was saying we're
slandering him and i'm like he he ran he hit up the national for like
a tremendous amount of money because he was like ah i got to go take care of my cat would you not do that
for the full cat i would but i don't know if i'd make him take the concord i would make i probably
make up any excuse to take concord i just want it more i mean yeah i mean if i could like if that
were an option because i'm sitting here like i don't know you could just put me like coach just
get me on the first one i'd be good then i'd be like hmm this place could be out of business in
two years i might as well hit him up for first class
a real calculation I might make, you know.
Also, it does depend on the cat.
Like the full cat, I'd absolutely do that, yeah.
I would say, if it's Mike the tiger, I might just take the slow one.
Wow.
Her because he's going to be fine, or?
You know, they'll just find another one.
That's what I've learned.
That's not, damn.
Apparently, like, you can just go like,
hey, maybe you shouldn't keep a live tiger on campus.
And they're like, but maybe.
we'll just keep getting them
you're like seems ill advised
you of all people
I can't believe it was you
all right
yeah that's
are you okay
I'm fine
I wanted to compliment
I think what really stuck out
in the Ohio State
Clemson game was how
how everybody was on the same page
and by that I mean
when Justin Fields gets very clearly
hurt and likely injured
in a question mark way
because as far as I know
nobody said exactly like what the injury was or what they did to treat it everybody the announcers
the coaches you know they're they're all on the same page of like well he didn't get an x-ray
that's probably a good thing right sure yep toughness and grit that's the important thing
and we're not going to ask any questions at all about why he's still out there playing uh
after walking was hard probably fine everything's cool go football
just coming out of that locker room in the second half like well man he's moving like nothing's wrong
mm-hmm mm-hmm i mean he threw like eight touchdowns with whatever his ailment was yeah
i mean have you ever have you ever taken a hit like that like been hit or had some sort of like
back to the side like either a helmet or landing on something i have fallen onto a picket fence
i have and then i threw like eight touchdowns oh my god
never mind jason's better yeah justin kirk no jason fields i he is from kennesaw he is from kansas might i had
wait justin kirk is jason fields yeah jason feudsman also went to my high school by the way damn
i'm a buckeye honorary my mom's from ohio i'm a buckeye
ohio state's about to claim everything good you have ever done i feel like yeah we did that
he's ohio bred buck i brad buck i bred ohio raised jason kirk sure well marbled i i don't like if you've
had that injury it's god or any like taking a huge hit on that area of your body it's the
absolute worst i have spencer what experience are you speaking from here i broke bone in my lower
back when i fell off of a pull-up bar and landed on a 45 pound oh this was during full cast era
This is fairly recently.
Yeah.
And I fell on a bumper plate and broke one of the transverse processes.
You had the Bryce Petty injury.
Yeah, I had the Bryce Petty injury.
But I have a question.
It's a pretty common football injury, right?
Did a doctor tell you, hey, you broke part of your body?
Eventually, yes, but I drove home from the gym first.
See?
There's always...
There's always...
There's always precedent.
You're right.
Yeah, I mean, well...
Just came up on the show before because the way that Spencer's wife explained the injury to me
made it sound later
as though they had conceived their first son
in the emergency room
and it turns out that that's just the way
she was telling the story and that's not actually how it happened
but for a couple of years after he was born
I believe that he had been conceived
that night in the ER because your wife was like
well this might be the best this might be all I ever get
hop on
yeah
I'm kind of disappointed that that's not the case Frank
Oh, I could not have done that.
No, it was
excruciating pain.
I've told this story
on the show before. I just didn't
think we were going to get there from Justin
Fields got brutal fucking hit.
He brought this up again. I just wanted
to point out that it was during the full cast era.
Yeah, I don't know how he did that.
I thought it was heroic.
Yeah. I was talking about your
wife. Thank you.
Not my performance, but
Yeah, the pain.
You know, do you think they will ever, do you think they will ever say, like, will we ever get a diagnosis or will it just be like mystery hit?
So, I mean, I think the one incentive here is the draft.
Sure.
Because it goes two ways.
You know, either NFL teams want to find out exactly what happened.
Or if it turns out, you know, there's incentive also for fields to demonstrate what he played through, right?
toughness say like well you did that and imagine if he'd been healthy could have been even better
yeah so like i think the financial incentives i think will ensure the truth eventually comes out
the invisible hand will work its match basically not on the rib itself but there will be no doctor's
hand those are visible by the way is the funniest possible outcome that justin fields opts out
now yes i think i've one thousand percent
He just puts everybody's love and loyalty to the test by being like,
I've proven what I need to prove.
I think what he does is he, as soon as he gets the notification, Falcons clenched the top four pick.
Okay, I'm out.
Heading home.
This is, by the way, the Fields Fromm thing, because that was again going around Twitter during the game,
as if we can't let that go, because never will.
Competing dead pages of Agoncourt.
If he
For the record
Jake Fromm is now
in the playoffs
So like
Calm the fuck down
Of the NFL
Yes
Is he a GA?
Oh
Interesting
He's
What is he
He's a
He's a string
behind Josh Allen
I'll pull up
The Pchart
Hold on
How dare you ask?
We'll never know
Because it's not like
Josh Allen's ever
going to be injured
How dare you ask?
If Jake
If Jake the sharpshooter
From is G.
He's GA as hell
He's
He's
He's
he's third string behind matt barclay and who did matt barclay play for u s c baby lane kiffin
that's right there it is that's right um i did like with if he gets drafted by the falcons and wins
a super bowl with the falcons do you know it'll be trending four years from now when this happens
kirby jake from kirby and jake from that's it the entire the entire the entire
The entire Ohio State Clemson game, trending in Georgia.
Kirby.
Kirby.
After they beat Cincinnati in a bowl game, no less.
Yeah, it was seriously like, like, you could just picture the Georgia fan mood like,
oh, we didn't lose to the, oh, fuck.
Surely we'll just process this with maturity and let bygones be shit.
We're talking about it again.
We're the seventh best team in the country.
country.
God damn.
Oh, God damn it.
They could have been the first best team in the country.
You got J.G. Daniels who's awesome.
This is how you know Georgia fans are a different degree of spoiled now, right?
Fortunately, they're bearing it with good grace and good humor.
Also, the only quarterback in the country who might be better than Justin Fields,
according to both the upcoming NFL draft and the recruiting industry three years ago.
also from Georgia
yeah
really awesome job
really really awesome job
well
that's that's okay
that's okay
we'll get the next one
we'll get the next one y'all
uh-huh
who is the running back
for
for Oregon
his first name is Britain
Britain books
yeah
which I thought his name was
British books
and I got really excited
I don't think it's actually Britain books
but I remember thinking that it was British books
yeah no I heard that and I thought
why isn't that mean? Why are you searching for British Oreos
that's not what we're talking about at all? That is his name
Wayne keep going go down that trail
the Oregon running back death chart you have Cross Patton
son of big boy and you have British Oreos
is the guy ahead of him
that's amazing I just heard him last night
And I was like, why is he not a Georgia quarterfax?
You're just, you're just, British is not part of his name.
I can't say that.
That's joke.
Okay, no, La Michael James is not British.
Anyway, his name is Welsh La Michael James.
Can somebody else look this up because Spencer just keeps typing British Oregon running backs?
Why don't you look at Oregon's roster with the, with, I'm away off here, that that might be a good.
That would be, that would be a better decision.
I'm sorry.
I mean, honestly
And it probably better to just type words
And hope one of them's right
Why would we do the sensible thing?
Are we sure it's a running back?
Because there's a guy named Sean Dollars
By saying I thought this guy's name was
There's a guy named Sean Dollars
Yeah, he's a freshman
That's amazing
Good Lord
There's also Diomador Lenoir
That's some Tennessee shit
Sean Dollars is still the winner there
my god what a wcw name
i've thrown you completely into tilt by saying
aloud during the game i keep thinking this guy's name is british books
shan dollars god what an amazing name
um yeah no i i was just watching i was watching them and going
that's there's a lot of extremely uGA names so never mind me
yeah i'm not saying any name
never going to figure out this kid's actual name i'm not saying any name that sounds anything
like British whatsoever.
Was it even Oregon?
I will figure this out.
Is it Iowa State?
It was not Iowa State.
There's not that much interesting
to say about British Oreos
in case anybody's wondering.
Do they have like...
Is this name English?
Hang on.
It's like fish and chips flavor.
They don't have any weird flavors.
It's boring.
It's just regular shit.
Yes, but what's in?
Iowa State has a blaze dachshund.
Blase dachshund.
sure the world's fastest the world's fastest uh tiny dog jesus that's amazing um that's a pop
patrol shit right there i did see the best burn on debo i have ever seen in during the game
once the once the full route was on which was someone calling him jet sweep joel o's dean
wow yeah yeah love it that's that's that's damn perfect y'all lady chatterley's lover for 300 yards
he did it he did it um can we go back to the notre dame game briefly yeah i have i have one
thank you please i have one complaint i because i largely agree with jason that
Notre Dame didn't play like particularly poorly they just they lost in the ways that they should have lost to a very very very fucking good Alabama team defense played well I would say the defense played fine I like I don't have a good sense of it but like it felt like at some point in the second half Alabama was just like we're good like we we don't really have a desire to score 50 points okay we found him who is
I was close.
It's the North Carolina running back
whose name is British Brooks.
Ooh.
Who if we reversed it
would be a perfect UGA quarterback
because he'd be Brooks British.
Brooks British, yeah.
Oh, that's awfully close to France.
Like,
Bama still threw for almost 10 yards a pass,
went 25 of 30 through the air,
and still ran for 140 yards on top of that.
But like...
So Notre Dame gave up 7.95 yards per play.
Yeah.
The team that is proudest of its performance against Alabama, Texas A&M,
gave up two more yards per play than that.
Okay.
Well, yeah, so I thought they, so my issue is really on the offensive side of the ball.
And it's really with just one thing where early in the game, I think it was Todd McShay.
Somebody was saying, like, you know, we talked to Brian Kelly,
and he says they're going to be more aggressive on fourth down, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then they didn't do it.
Like, they punted on fourth and eight from their own 29.
That was early.
That's fine.
Whatever.
Then they punted on fourth and five from their own 44 and fourth and eight from their own
43.
And I just like, they ended up going, I think, two times, maybe, three times.
And a lot of that was just end of the game, like, last quarter.
There's no reason not to, whatever.
I think this is like just normal football.
talk at this point. I think to play this Alabama team, you might as well go for it on fourth
down a lot more than you might otherwise. Like fourth and like if it's in a makeable range and if
it's in a part of the field where it's not immediately going to kill you, giving Bama the ball
on like near midfield versus trying to pin him inside the 20, it really doesn't matter all that
much. It's really not going to turn like it's really not necessarily going to stop them or hold them
whatever so like just go for it i i wish notre dame had been more aggressive in that regard and just
like push on fourth down more that's it especially if you have a guy like i'm book who's accurate
in the short game and can keep things alive why don't you press a four and fourth and three right
why don't you press a fourth and five because those are the kind of throws that especially with
big tight ends as targets those are the kind of throws he can make man yeah and like you basically
have to, you know, like, Notre Dame probably knew going into this game, we need to steal a
possession in one way or another, whether it's a fake or turnover, but like a converted fourth down
is kind of like stealing a possession in some ways. Like fourth and one, whatever, it's just sort of,
you know, you should always go for those. But if you pick up fourth and seven, fourth and eight,
like, you effectively stole possession and you probably did it with pretty good field position
to boot. So, like, that's my only complaint is I wish Notre,
underdame had been had just like said fuck it let's go for it a little more than that they don't have
like watch another dame they don't have anybody you stretches the field they don't have anybody
because remember the thing about bam is that yeah you can pass on them you might be able
because they play single coverage you might be able to pull guys but there are two things that
prevented notre dame for doing that one their head coach said before the game and i cannot
believe he said this out loud yeah we're not going to throw up patrick sur tan they still like
It just did not.
They didn't know.
They tried to like twice and nearly threw a pick on one of them.
Yeah, no, we're just not going to put the ball near that dude.
That's an admirable degree of pragmatism for a man who was normally ruled entirely by emotion.
Yeah, no.
And a guy who once, yeah, threw a whole bunch of passes in the middle of a hurricane, right?
Called a bunch of passes.
Just decided, yeah, we respect Patrick Sertan more than we respected a tropical storm once.
not the worst dance to take yeah no and two they don't have any wide outs i don't have anybody i don't
know if there was a team that had like a bigger drop-off and like more contrast between that position
than notre dame and alabama so the other day i'm like i don't know what any of these dudes do they
run block seen run block pretty well they don't really get open they don't really do much
but then there's alabama which has three to four to five deep of the most
eye-popping white-outs you've ever seen.
Like, to me, the reason I bring this complaint up is I think back to the Old Miss game,
which Old Miss didn't win, but they hung with, like, a hell of a lot,
they hung with a hell of a lot longer than certainly Nick Saban would have liked them to.
And Old Miss definitely, like, if there's one very clear difference between Old Miss and Notre Dame,
it's that Notre Dame actually has a defense, and Old Miss does not.
And Old Miss went four of four.
on fourth down in that game and those were not like just late in the game well you know who cares
what like they they try they were very aggressive and and i think that is part of what you have to do
if you are undermatched talent wise which almost everybody is against alabama i don't know
if necessarily ohio state has to embrace this but i do think and this kind of came up in the north
I think it came up in the Northwestern game
in the Big Ten Championship, if I recall correctly,
like there are times where
if it's fourth and three, just fucking go for it.
Like, there's no reason not to.
Yeah, Ohio State is probably the only team
that doesn't have to think like that.
Yeah.
You know, and, well, I mean, I'm fine with how it went.
Notre Dame Plus 20.
Ryan Kelly was focused on getting the cover.
Don't push it, don't risk it.
Sure.
Don't give me in a short field and blow the cover.
let's let's focus on what's most important here fair although for an alabama ohio state
match up ohio state might get in a position where they go yeah we might have scored too much
they really might get in that where they go yeah we've we've given alabama too many possessions
because that was clearly notre dame's gameplay was not to give alabama too many possessions
was to go slow was yeah there was a there was a tension because brian kelly was talking up
time of possession right and and before and after the game was trying to manage expectations like
was you know before like he had this mostly consistent message of just like holy shit look how
talented they are come on right and uh but then he also threw in that we're going to play aggressive
thing and one of those things jumps out you know yeah you can't do both you can't be like we're
going to be slow but surly yeah you're not you can't say we're going to just try and play it
safe and get out of here and enjoy the fact that we almost won a conference
kind of but going to be a belligerent sloth that's what we're going to be also aggressively lazy
i mean this is how this is how stupid this year and this entire setup goes that i don't know if
anyone else would have done better or uh less disappointingly than notre dame here i really don't
feel like oh man ain't m you could put them back in they had a great poll game against unc yeah they
and even then they still needed the last you know six to eight minutes of that game to salt it away
sure against yeah against uh against a guy playing without most of his major tools on offense
i mean it is dumb that notre dame was the best you know uh most capable candidate i don't know
about qualified because i would have said cincinnati even though they lost but it's not like
cincinnis isn't to do any better Cincinnati against Alabama would have been um
Yeah, it would not have been as good as Notre Dame Alabama, Notre Dame Alabama, wasn't that great.
I think the only team you could put in at least make Bama expend effort might have been BYU.
Because they're going to fucking wing it, right?
If they're down by 30, so what?
They're going to keep fucking winging it.
Whereas Notre Dame is going to say, okay, we've, all right, let's just get out of here.
You know, frankly, it probably would have been Old Miss.
Just put old miss back in.
If you went up to Sabin and you said, what would piss you off the most at the
foreseed. He probably says
Giffin again.
He didn't want to deal with that. He's like,
you're so much of it.
That's probably
his biggest complaint is that like
they're just bullshit
and there's so much of it.
God, he's always talking
just constantly quoting Fasten
the Furious. Kats fucking stand.
Oh my God. What's wrong with that?
Nick Sabin wouldn't like it.
That's what I mean.
All right.
I feel like he would appreciate Tokyo Drift
as the story of an Alabama boy
who learns an important lesson about duty and fidelity
but go off
Okay
Who do we have that could show
Sabin
The Fast Movies
And Determine
Besides Lane? Seesle?
Yeah Seesle heard if you're listening
We need
We got a job for you
We do
Pete Golding,
Pete Golding, if you're listening,
and I know you are.
Oh, yeah, Pete is locked in.
Look at him.
Take one look at Pete Golding.
That man's got opinions.
Pete, come on the show.
Pete,
I have a quarter mile at a time.
Let's talk about,
Pete,
let's talk about justice for Han.
Yeah.
Man, it's so fucked up
that they're just friends
with the guy who killed Han.
Listen, and okay,
we're finally supposed to get
a resolution to that storyline
and has been pushed back a year
and counting due to the pandemic,
and I need to know
what,
can i offer can i have for a short aside here so because 2021 won't be that much
i don't even have a joke i'm just upset 2021 won't be that much better than 2020 sorry everybody
my wife decided that the thing she wants to do this year is watch the fast and the furious
movie she's never seen any of them perfect so ryan and i have already had this discussion yes
so new year's eve we watched the first one together and mostly she was like wait race wars they're
calling this racehorse and then the other night the other night she wanted to
she was like I had a I had a call with a buddy I had to make and she was like I'm
gonna watch fast too without you I was like that's great and I come back down and I'm like
hey how'd you like she's almost at the end and before I can even ask her how she likes
she's like Tyrese is amazing there he makes so he makes so many bad choices and I
understand all of them so that that is her uh so that is her her her gateway to the fast verse is
yeah yeah yeah tyrese do keep us updated as we go tirese and ludicrous she also like really
liked that ludicrous was the one character who was like buck that racing i'm not doing that no
i'm just over here organized they they okay this is good because there's lots more of both
sure yeah yeah also tyrese the only character who decided that the car to naturally drive
on ice is an orange
Lamborghini.
Obviously, one of the
finest characters in the entire saga.
It's so other hunters can see you.
It's so polar bears know
what's up.
Stay away from me, Dick Cheney.
Tyrese delivering
the seminal line,
ejecto-sito goes.
God,
this movie's a treasure.
But yeah,
P. Goldings definitely
owns all of the fast movies.
I need this movie to come out on streaming because I need to know in what manner y'all have decided to retcon Jason Statham after three entire-ass movies of all of us being mad about him.
Time travel, isn't it?
I need to know.
