Zaslow Asks Jessica a Terrible Question | Hour 3 (feat. Jessica Smetana)

0:00Oh California Oh, we down Alabama way Where the call sheet in his holster and the reputation stand Oh, save it lay down There like a sheriff Long ago He said call of a crazy ass place you want just your way from sorority Well, Joe Saddle is golf cart out in the Tuscaloos tonight To the local bars where the hotties are who's a lady's worst crib tonight To hide your girlfriend and your daughters from this tall drink of fresh water There are bandits and marauders and there are crimson tide play colors

1:04Joey fresh water Keep that Pfizer right in low There are bars in Tuscaloosa Where the truth they are to know you can change your name number You can leave before daylight Well the legend rides much faster than an outlaw in the night Joey fresh water signs I need to see them all over college football Joey fresh water lane kiffens alias as he is a public and national Forever snake And he rules college football and is the single greatest symbol for college football that I can think of at the moment lane kiffin I Can't believe we're armed with his nickname in the bars Joey fresh water I have a lot to talk to Jessica about Mike Tomlin's gonna be a star Obviously going to be a broadcasting star in a way that makes it look super effortless

2:09But from week one Jessica of all the people talking about all the things okay Where are you on the idea that one second on a clock becomes the discussion instead of holy shit Michigan hit a hail Mary at the end of the game. That's one of the most amazing finishes You'll ever see whether you're given an extra second or not. I mean it be more amazing Dan if they did it the first time But yes, it was an incredible catch by J.J. If you can and I will give them that I think where I land on this is that I I felt vindicated yesterday that My skepticism was rewarded on Saturday night when the big 10 put out their statement and There's a lot of back and forth about the different clocks and which clock was the right clock and how to count backwards from nine It felt pretty good to see the NCAA put out new guidance that going forward They should just go off the the program feed and not the synced up side by side clock with the replay Because that led to just a whole bunch of confusion on Saturday night

3:09But what did you think was most interesting and everything that happened after that? I mean you've got a team that is a national power storming the field after beating Western Michigan And I don't know what was the point spread in that game like what kind of up 17 and a half or something like that It was like four touchdowns Dan Speaking from experience When you are a four touchdown favorite playing a Mac team a lot of stuff has to go wrong for you to lose the game For you to not have a chance at the end to pull it out and there are a lot of things that went right for Michigan in this game Despite the fact that they did not play well and Western Michigan out physical them They put up a hell of a fight and that drive it's in the fourth quarter the the service academy type drive that we saw That was like 12 and a half or 13 and a half minutes long Dan that it should have been that should have been it That should have been the game. It was beautiful. It was just an immaculate drive But yeah, there are miss face masks penalties are like the second on the clock obviously there are a number of things that Ultimately broke correctly for Michigan to pull out the win and here we are

4:14There are a number of other interesting things from the college football weekend. Where is it that you would rank this? It just crashed the dabbo's swingy sound from the weekend I'm just kidding. Yeah, Dan dabbo's he's getting really triggered like really early here in these press conferences He's got to make it at least to like week four before I we're gonna have an ultimate Trigger off between him and Bella chick in a couple weeks and I cannot wait for it But I do think that we talked about this last week I I expected Clemson to lose that game I didn't think it was gonna look that bad But I think LSU for all the distractions of the NFL players and all the things that Lane Kiffin was doing in the offseason They have a talented roster and they have really good players and even though they were a dumpster fire last year with Brian Kelly They are still a good team and Clemson has not been that in a couple of years now with dabbo's we need and so it's kind of like Until you show it to me. I'm not really gonna have a lot of faith in you and their win total I think was only like seven and a half games coming to the season and it was still like juiced way to the over if I recall like back in June When I was looking at it and so I think people are still really

5:16Have a lot of faith in Clemson and dabbo's we need because he's one two national championships and they have put Tons of players in the NFL even lately on these teams. I haven't won a lot of games But it just for for a number of reasons has not been good lately And so I did not think they're gonna win that game well But there's something when you're saying they've not been good and something else to say I can't believe how quickly where a Davo needs to be fired like you lose that way to that team and it's just shown to everybody Hey, your way of doing things has also like been there's a rocket ship has gone past you when Lane can just get there with a bunch of money and do that to you 500 total yards and offense more than your opponent just like that's something that should never happen to Clemson 500 more total yards is an insanity that your team does not belong on the field with the other football team That's not one team had a bad day when you go 500 more total yards your your the difference between opponents is like that might as well be You know I written the University of Massachusetts Well, I wouldn't disparage them big win against Rutgers on Thursday night Dan as a four the very man what's crazy about the Western Michigan Michigan game

6:24That would have been the second Mac verse big 10 upset of the weekend with the Mac team being a four touchdown dog Like that's how crazy this weekend almost I mean it still was crazy because what happened at the end of the game was Objectively crazy, but Dan I think the only thing I would say about Davo is like I don't think it has happened that quickly I think there has been sort of a slow burn and a lot of frustration over the last three years But I think it got masked a little bit in 2024 because they did ultimately end up making it to the College football playoff and played a pretty good First game in the playoff and I think that that kind of like put some of the hard feelings aside for a little bit But since then yeah, it's been pretty ugly. I mean they almost they were they were at a dogfight with Troy last year Just the big one this weekend is obviously Ohio State in Texas. Is there can one of these teams Afford to lose this game less. Oh, no, that's a great confusing way to question. What did he say? I like it. I know what I know what he means guys. I know what he means But what did he say? Somebody to understand what I said? I have no idea what you said. That's never been said that way by anybody

7:27And one of these teams afford to win less the fuck you say that is not Winner the bear lose bears lose The suit is just finished and now we re-wrapped and you got another one for next year. No, no hold on a second Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Everybody calm down Say it again The cankers winner the bear lose bear lose Be calm down Can one of these teams afford to lose less the packers winner the bear lose bears lose That is the I don't like that question sucks too. Yeah, that was still bad Still wrong. I try again. I think Texas can afford to lose less Okay They winner do they lose as what is your question? This is look. It's Texas Ohio State Yeah, everyone's previewing this game. It's the biggest game of the week. I don't understand what your question is What are you asking her who can afford who can lose to lose? Less less the packers winner the bear lose bear lose wouldn't it be more? Yeah, why would you

8:32Want to know who can afford it more he wants to know the opposite I want to know who would have lost her The most that's a better question go. He phrase it that way next time right well done I mean, I kind of think it's to be honest I think it's kind of even like I think no matter what if both teams end up having good seasons and it's a Toss of at the end of the year like I'm happy that they scheduled each other and I hope more of these Non-conference games against power teams continue to happen So if it's a close game with the Astrix being if it's a close game, which I think it will be like I don't think it should hurt either team too much because they both have opportunities to win other big games the rest of the season and So I think as long as it's close and Maybe maybe it ends up being fine for both of them, but obviously of course it depends on what else happens for us the year can one of these teams Afford to lose this game less I would like that entire segment in a time capsule first because it's not just the question

9:34It's Jessica saying it's even time will tell like in terms of analysis That's exactly the analysis that was deserved for how shitty that question wasn't even looking for a specific team He was just asking if it's good can they I think the answer could have just been yes, but but just as and it was but just as Analysis is it's even there is no answer. It's it's fine for both of them and depending on what happened And tell and time will tell well I guess that's why he was asking can either one of them afford it less because really he knew his question was stupid Yeah, are you a stupid person? I think you're a stupid person you might be a stupid person No one will cover that game that way except us That's a giant game you will not hear that analysis the way that that happened anywhere in the world today Honestly speaking Dan like they both teams do have Schedules where they will play tough opponents for the rest of the season It's not a situation where ones got it incredibly lopsided schedule versus the other and this is the game that they have to win

10:40Like I do kind of think it does depend. This is why doing playoff talk in September the second week of the college football season is a little foolish because no one knows what the hell is gonna happen We can only guess and so my guess is that if all things are equal the rest of the season It's not going to be the end of the world if this is a one-point game right now Texas is favored by a point in a half at home. It's projected to be a close game So this question is even worse that I mean that's kind of my honest opinion of it I think there are people on other calls football radio shows who are gonna say the most extreme Answer to that but like I'm not gonna go there cuz it's September Just is trying to make that chicken salad. Thank you, Jess Very much star on weekends college football coverage Texas Ohio State is a giant game and what he just did now is internationally embarrassing But the larger point is yeah, I mean other days a giant game and both of them are gonna make the playoffs no matter who wins it Yes, the larger point is yes, Texas. I don't how stay can play and nothing that happens this week actually matter

11:45No, I think it does matter because I look I'm one of the like the lead SEC haters and I already have to capitulate I think the SEC is really really good. I think Texas improved. I think Oklahoma improved They're gonna have a couple ahead to head matchups here Oklahoma Michigan which now looks that line continues to balloon I think the SEC might be back Jack but That's the question. Yeah, yeah, it went up two points Since it opened Football season is back Jack and there are certain games you must experience in person I've had games where I thought I waited too long and I was gonna miss out and I opened game time and I found tickets right before kickoff That's why game time is my go-to when I need to be in the building I can see a panoramic view from my seat before I buy and the price shown includes all fees So there are no surprises I check out what you see is what you pay period I also love zone deals you choose a section game time chooses the seats and you save money

I don't know what you thought was the second most interesting story of the weekend after Michigan Western Michigan, but I don't believe that there's much larger than Davos job is really an Actually in trouble and while you're saying it wasn't that quick and you're right I did not think I would hear people talking this quickly after you erased all of Clemson's tarnished history and made them what Alabama was

15:52What Georgia was and now he's defensive and press conference number one after his first game Chapel you come with all these questions. I'll tell you you're the gotcha guy No, I don't I don't man. I regret being over one right now. I regret that But what can you ask me at the end of the season? You know the season in over. I mean we got one game got 11 more Well if we go 11 and one We promised me you ask me that then okay good. I'll answer it all right, but I'll answer that in the city. We played one game one game All right, did you play football? No Okay, well they give you 12 games and at the end of the year you count them up all right and and you know That's when that's when those type of questions are fair to me uh, you know not after one game To maybe the best team in the country Jessica you have perspective about these things, but everything about that and the game gives off to me

16:56Oh no Davos been left behind like he's been He he was in the conversation at the top of the sport. He has been left far far behind by the way he's doing business You're the gotcha guy I mean I think that was evident when he was not really considered for taking the Alabama job after saving retired Because he went to Alabama and that was like a thing people talked about for years when he was beating saving In national championship games and in the playoffs and then you know, I think yeah the games maybe Gone by him a little bit. I think he tried to adjust this year I think there's like a few issues that he's had but obviously the recruiting advantage went away with the new N.I.L. rules and the transfer portal N.I.L. itself is a humongous factor now I do think his buyout this year is still really really big so I don't know if Clemson's gonna actually fire him or not But he's also had a string of not elite Coordinators and assistants, which is you know one of the more I guess underrated things that a head coach has to do especially in college football is like continue to restack

17:59Like you lost Brent Venables who's one of the best defensive coordinators in college football because he got a head coaching job And the defense hasn't been the biggest problem at Clemson But it's not as elite as it was with Venables and the offense is kind of the been the bigger issue And that's where they've had a lot of turnover. So you know, he brought I'd be I talked about this last week He brought back Chad Morris is here and obviously didn't start out well It looked like a disaster, but yeah, like it's it's been a lot of different things for him I don't think there's one area in particular like you could point at the transfer portal as like a Microcosm of like bigger issues, but it's it's just a lot of different things that being said Yeah, he did win to national championships And I think he sort of expects a level of benefit of the doubt or like Grace from from people watching his teams because he did something that I don't think anyone thought he could do at Clemson So there is that but you know as time gets further and further away from those people get more and more frustrated Jessica other than what you've discussed what should I be watching foreign preparing for for monday's nothing personal What should I be looking for on Saturday? That is a great question. Well, let's start with friday bc

19:01At Rutgers david the big game of the weekend. I'm so excited. It's gonna be nasty We got the Dylan Lonergan revenge game No, but in all honesty There's a lot of fun games this weekend Alabama plays their first SEC game on the road at Kentucky on Saturday afternoon That's a game with two pretty fresh quarterbacks spooky game there for Alabama, right? Maybe yeah, I mean I think there are 10 that's it's not a maybe yeah, Jess. I need to have a harder opinion than that. Is it spooky or is it not spooky? It's spooky anything after September 1st and it's Halloween season I made muffins last weekend for the Notre Dame was content tailgate And I used to Halloween muffin wrapper, okay, because it was it's I want spooky game of the week I want in October spooky game of the week you're you can't be maybe on it is a spooky game Kentucky plus 10 and a half spooky is it a spooky game or is it not a spooky game like that? I'd not maybe Jessica

20:01I'll find you a spooky game. I got Alabama on the road. I got BC Rutgers I need a third thing to be focused on BYU Arizona I would say that is a big big 12 game BYU's First big test of the season. That was a game that was very close last year The big 12 race is always something to be focused on because there's a lot of teams and there Some of them are pretty close together and sort of like the middle ground of the conference and It's to be determined if BYU is again going to be one of the top two teams in that conference And this game will help to determine that and I think there are seven and a half point favorite at home So what can I say about BYU Arizona on Monday that will make it sound like I watch the game and sound smart Just look at the final score and then say what this is a good segment actually I yeah, I like this Yeah, Jessica giving cheat sheets to David so that he could do it on Monday If she does it for you will you will you actually do it just fake your way through the the segment that's why I'm literally writing down

21:02Because people are interested but doesn't she need the game she needs the game though Well, she's giving me the game and then what to say about it We'll say like BYU's defense. They were really good bear bachmeyer Continues to impress like he was a really solid quarterback last year's a true freshman He's really added some some tools and you know, they've got such a great run game They've got a bunch of backs that they really like and so they they just had a great game on the ground You could say we'll we'll go with that for that game. Say Brockmeyer Bach Bachmeyer get the name right. Okay, Jess. I've been wanting to ask you since I saw the throw over the weekend He became a superstar on one throw and the people that have seen him in practice are saying he's got potential like big time potential Did you guys you guys know what I'm talking about come on Taylor? Yeah, I knew you're gonna say that Come on Taylor I think this is one of the more fascinating games of the weekend because he's going up against Minnesota And again, SEC narrative guys you have to I'm gonna text you this throw right now It is legitimately he became a superstar with one throw. It's one of the craziest throws you'll ever see

22:07I knew you're Just in in in essence everything power timing accuracy Difficulty Mike I need to know your opinions on the Drake Lindsay potential NFL hype like I've seen a lot of criticisms of him which seem warranted by Also seen a lot of like NFL people say they really like him and he's like six five which I think is probably part of it He's the Minnesota quarterback. That's the game that we're talking about right now, which is a maybe maybe two bottom of the conference power teams But oh, but but these are this is how I watch football now Jess given Miami's recent look in the transfer portal when it comes to quarter I'm always out there scouting for the next one you've got a disease scouting. No scouting network is out at Minnesota Mississippi state Jessica look I have seen this happen a handful of times in my career I think one time it was Joe Bucksbaum these guys who love the high school kids and being able to be smarter than everyone else because they can project an investment of a high school kid is gonna be a star college kid

23:08Mike Ryan is addicted to this. This is it's who's gonna be the next my court back Watching the bottom rungs of football trying to find see if he can steal somebody's defensive tackle like it's really annoying I'll give you a spooky game. We've got Memphis and Boise State this weekend That could be a spooky game Memphis is always others receiving votes Yeah, so it's poison though. That's what they should have on their helmets though that Boise is an occasional top 25 Memphis is always others receiving votes at the end of the season They'll be oh, they'll get up there in 18 and we'll believe in them because they keep scoring 40 points And then they'll lose the three games Well Boise State if you watched any of the Oregon game this past weekend put up a hell of a fight on Oregon and you know Memphis looked really fun in their open arrogance UNLV So this is a potential You know group of sick again. I hate doing playoff talking September But a group of six game to keep an eye on because I think Boise then plays Western Michigan in two weeks who you know, of course we we've already discussed but that's

24:10They could end up having a really nice resume at the end of the season if they win all the games They're supposed to win and have that close loss to Oregon Do you think that Mike Tomlin is going to be the next broadcasting superstar? I enjoy everything that he has to say Dan. I want to see his Minecraft Village whatever it is minecraft city I'd like to walk around it for a day. Let's play that sound again For Jessica even though she's heard it because I you guys were all surprised by this where you're not I for whatever it is You think you might know about Mike Tomlin. He showed us precious little about this part of his personality over you know 20 years every year a winning season. I'm a big Minecrafter I didn't know you were a game reader because my kids were got it and and and so how do I connect with them? How do I meet them where they are and spend time with them? I started playing Minecraft man when when my kids were young I have a Minecraft city I'm creative man that I've been working on for like 12 years Still 12 years and the kids are long gone. Hey, do they still play too?

25:13Hey, no, but when they come home, they're like hey dad put your city up man. Let me see what's up I really loved this clip, but I loved it for Probably different reasons and everybody else to everybody thinks it's fun. It's Minecraft and all that I watch this is Excellent parenting what he's actually talking about because I've experienced this a few years ago too where he took up Minecraft So that he can have something to connect with his kids about something to talk about holy shit Dear god 65 yards a dart a laser Where the dough's in his face This is why Zaz took up caring about Arab MMA fighters Here's Mike Tomlin talking about to honestly in a way that Jason Garrett and Tony Dungee would never Side lines anymore Mike McCarthy taking over, but you know Aaron Rodgers so well He said it. This is final season. They'll be hosting the Falcons to start out the season. What do you expect to see from him? You know, it's less about Aaron for me and the support about the quarterback on the other side

26:15His last visit in Pittsburgh didn't go well. I was in the stadium that day They lost he got benched and so I think it's gonna be a good day for Mike McCarty Patrick Graham and the Pittsburgh Steelers and company I'm gonna pull a devil I got a little something. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the steel there you guys tell me all of the former coaches who are doing that Where they're asked a question where it was just a lob here talk about the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers He goes zones in on to and just rips a dude like I went who's doing that in broadcasting right now that has Some credibility on their resume was the first time I realized that Tomlin doesn't want to coach again That's when you're gonna get the honesty like that if someone doesn't want to go back The question wasn't about to it. Do you realize how rare it is for an NF a former NFL coach to get a softball question about his former team and say that quarterback on the other team blows Dan I have a question for you though Have you ever been on the spot and you knew what what you didn't want to say you knew what like the the wrong answer would be But you can't think of anything else so you just blurred out the wrong answer

27:18And you didn't really mean to throw two under the bus But you were like this was such a vague thing and the first thing I thought about was how crappy too It was last year. So I'm just gonna talk about how crappy too It was and then you feel a little bad afterwards because I've done that before yeah Yes, but I haven't had 18 years of practice of going into press conferences And I'm never gonna say the wrong thing like It he's really relaxed is the point the larger point is Mike Tomlin relaxed and just actually giving you his honest thoughts A little bit better than Tony Dungee a little bit better than Rodney Harrison Well Dan I wonder if he saw the athletic story about DK Metcalf in Aaron Rogers and the underground civilization in Antarctica and was like I'm so happy to not be this deal to be fair. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. I don't need to get We don't know Something's going on over there DK DK Metcalf was let DK Metcalf was literally like like DK You can't go there like why can't you just book a trip to Antarctica?

28:19It's good point Jonathan Jones was like you can book a trip to Antarctica like no, but I don't really know who have been there There's a nice wall they stop you Drake passes Tony it's a shame you weren't good at football because you would be thriving in the Steelers Byverse right now with DK what would have been with how would have been with Aaron Rogers in the quarterback room That's true. Let's put up let's put up Jason Garrett here This is the best thing Jason Garrett has ever done a Jason Rudolph Tony and Aaron Rogers This is Jason Garrett at his very best excellent in a television his finest moment You know what I miss Jason Garrett Dan. I was at the Notre Dame was constant game Monday night And so I didn't get to hear him on the call but I went back and listened to some of the game broadcast and I like that He calls Dan Hicks Hixie. I like that we're doing He's electric It's it is electric. I love Hixie. It's a great nickname Check out her weekly Notre Dame podcast the echoes with Mike Goliq Jr Thank you Jessica nice seeing you Bye Tony you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks

29:24I know well. It's usually when I show up everybody goes crazy Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with queer blocking my piss Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Quarervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night It has that effect on people it does you usually take the credit for it, but again It's the Quarervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up Houghton and Holler and keep it quervo keep it quervo baby Down levitar and we'll take a ever got that many roses in my whole life. Jessica. It's mattana Certainly not from your lovely grandfather got a man so rushed in peace. This is the down levitar show You That throw huh? Yeah, that's throw it's a kilo on it. It's just he's at the pocket I do wondered right when I'm when I'm watching okay Trinidad Chamble is the the quarterback play and the athleticism at quarterback play is so insane now

30:29Because the position is college quarterbacks are amazing now Well, but so Mike we started to talk about this a little bit yesterday because I do find Incredibly funny all the stuff happening with the SEC But of course if money comes to everything and minor league football is gonna pay players Five and ten million dollars to play the game You're going to get while you're watching on Saturdays as low you're going to get the star hosts of your Saturday TV shows that are getting ready for Sunday are the Trinidad Chamblises of the world who are going to try to play for seven years in college football because Their salary for one year I said this yesterday. Okay, Trinidad Chamble. So let's say he's making five million dollars this year He is making in his one year in college more than most of the people listening to this will make in their entire lifetimes If you make a hundred thousand dollars for 50 years you will make what Trinidad Chamble is makes this year He has succeeded at whatever you're supposed to get after college like he's doing it in college

31:31But he's getting the professional vocation whatever the diploma is worth This is the maximum value of what is professional football that throw if it had been made in an NFL game Would only be made by Josh Allen. I don't know that there's anybody else who can make exactly that throw off of their right foot I'm not saying they don't have the arm strength. I'm saying to have the lower body strength of doing it off of one leg Patrick Mahomes Baker Baker Justin Herbert. Yeah Is there a quarterback who can't make that throw in the NFL? Yeah Two uh, no there's a punching that was 65 yards in the air Believe it or not a lot of quarterbacks can't get that No, but it's and it's also the accuracy though in the dead of a pocket off of just one foot like that was just all armed timing rope It was incredible Yeah, he's a superstar based off of one throw This is one of the gnarliest things I've ever seen Just that how you do your power scouting Is that how you're doing your transfer portal You look at one play and you're like now that's all you need is one so I want that guy. Yeah, I can work with that

32:33I'll give you Mahomes as well, but I have always fallen in love with the armed strength guy But there have been so many bad ones Jay Cutler Jeff George The the way the position is changing The athleticism that is coming to the position Justin Herbert is a stallion Justin Herbert you're right He just and Herbert can also make that throw but it's a short it's a short list It's a short list of NFL quarterbacks I mean Mark can get it there Lamar has a flick of the wrist Yeah, they could power scouting with one appearance is such a bad move that it makes me laugh that that's what you do Brother you saw an off on that one play to know like all right Let's get this guy in the system. I think we can work with this the bones are good Yeah, Thalitwood Mac without Stevie Nicks Nancy Buckingham the answer is no

33:37No, it's very difficult take Fleetwood Mac series with no Stevie Nicks Doobie Brothers without Tom Johnston replacing him with Michael McDonald. I don't care about do we brothers? That's not what blink 182 without Travis Barker the drummer You could still be blink 182 yeah drummers are replaceable. Hmm, but he's the most famous one I I'll Tom the long things there's a street brand without Clarence Clements Still a street band still the street band. Yeah, Jake Clements nephew I you're just inconsistent it's hard to play with someone who's just so randomly inconsistent black Sabbath. No, I'm Did you not hear the question he asked Jess? That's who your plan against Were you happier losing in the final four or winning? Can we do this again? Please let's go back to this question for a second because what just happened with Jessica Was breathtaking in its stupidity can one of these teams Afford to lose this game less I'll be honest with you. I'm listening to a back

34:37That's another wrong way of question can one of these teams Afford to lose this game less Who needs to win it more is what you meant to say no no no No, he wants to know you can handle a loss who can survive a lot say that you know In September between the number one and number three teams in the country There were like a million questions you could have asked about this game And I chose the best one these rosters and what you chose is Hey, which one of these two top five teams that aren't playing a conference game right now can survive it and make the play Anyone else asking that question That's because you need question no Quote he'll be one of the best quarterbacks we've ever played that's PJ Fleck folks Oh That is PJ Fleck raving. Oh, it's like trying to draw blood from a stone to get a compliment from PJ Fleck Why don't you go ask some loser question like does archmaning need to win this game? Okay? All right never heard that one before You're doubling down Yeah, because now that I heard it again

35:39I realize there's nothing wrong with that question really now you're defending now you're defending there Yeah, it's not much to work with here Dan. I'm glad you played it again because I was nervous that I sounded stupid But then upon hearing it again like yeah, you know, it's confirmed Good question Sorry, you guys don't ask good questions. It's a giant game archmaning this was look To me it was weird that last season in retrospect this seems kind of stupid to thing Hey, you know what's gonna happen in the first game archmaning is so amazing and coach He says he's the most amazing recruit ever that he's gonna come out in the first game and play the defending champions Who nobody can beat and he's going to run rough shot over Ohio State and then of course he stinks and we forget about archmaning Now he's gonna get a great deal better after that year of suffering He already was late in the season and Ohio State is the most formidable thing of the last several years Elite in every way Including the most amazing goal line and fourth down defense. I've ever seen in the history of the sport But archmaning is better and now it's an interesting game

36:43Because Texas learned what it needed to learn and now you've got a man the man in chromosome is playing The position in a way it must be played you guys have been sitting here analyzing Drake, man Texas will only beat Ohio State if archmaning shows you something like otherwise they will lose like it Archmaning never mind he can't play the game he played last year that was embarrassing and and then we'll see how tough He is after a season of you were below Expectations But I expect archmaning to win this football game because I expect archmaning to actually blossom and declare himself a star right now Given all of the improvements I saw from him the second half of last season I know the surname is gonna play into it and you know He's archmaning saying was a heisman finalist last year for me. It's wide receivers in that game Came Coleman versus Jeremiah Smith that I think from like a fame And magnetism standpoint those two guys are a top of the heap in the in the game of college Well, are you guys looking at this like this might be a season where the wide receiver actually wins a heisman trophy

37:48Because I can't remember this early in a season talking about the wide receivers instead of the quarterbacks this way Like yeah, it's running backs. It's quarterbacks, but I have not a they don't win the position very Or they don't win the trophy very often, but it's an awful lot of talk of wide receivers being the best player in the country There's some really good what receiver everybody like the skill level in college football what be it You know the lower levels of football and all these academies and 7v7s how these guys are all about ball the entire the entire time They're saying in school a lot longer because they're getting money in the the extra year of eligibility We are seeing that bear out like it's gonna be really hard to To parse the quarterbacks success with the receivers Josh Hoover has two potential first round draft picks at wide receiver beckers incredible Cam Coleman will be tied to the hip of archmaning same with smith and and saying him down here Mensa and malle I think archmaning Runs the risk of being declared a disappointment if he doesn't show people something in this game You don't have three and four years anymore to prove that stuff to us like well

38:52He's he's going to be good I think but you only get so many of these giant games where everybody's watching and last year He and Texas were a disappointment. They're supposed to be at the top of the food chain and he's supposed to be in that Heisman room now not next year not not two years from now now is when archmaning is supposed to be in new kids on the block with That whichever one you know can one of these teams Afford to lose this game less
