1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,840
 Now, get ready to roll Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's Exclusive FM Sports Voice.

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:29,980
 The Boomo Bugg Show. New Exclusive Inside Track to the Tide, Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

3
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:38,940
 Good afternoon and welcome in to the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

4
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:50,580
 Brett Beaird, welcome in where Auburn teased up another national championship. And guess what happens one month from today, fireworks boy. Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?

5
00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:59,940
 It's hard to believe for the 4th of July. Happy Thursday to you and the listeners. Yeah, the Auburn Tigers won the golf.

6
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:10,840
 National championship yesterday. The second out of the three years they've done that. We'll discuss some of the feedback from Nick Saban's appearance at the Senate Commerce Committee yesterday.

7
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:26,400
 Speaking of the Auburn Tigers, they're going to be playing Middle Tennessee State in basketball, Harold Bugg, Tuesday, December the 15th at the annual Rocket City Classic in Probst Arena with the Von Brown Center.

8
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:37,960
 But right now, B.B. is here to talk about the future of college sports and his rankings for college football's top 25 quarterbacks in 2026.

9
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:48,940
 You know, Usville had a rocket scientist in Von Brown. We, in Sporting News, have got a rocket scientist in Bill Bender. He can agree or disagree with that. Bill Bender, welcome in. How are you?

10
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,080
 I don't know about that.

11
00:01:52,940 --> 00:02:01,220
 Doing well. I hope you guys, I wanted to say off the top, you know, our college football preview magazine and so many others. ESPN has one.

12
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:11,800
 Aslan has one. So, if you're heading out to the beach, pick up ours. It's the yellow one. It's very, very yellow. I don't know if you guys can tell you that.

13
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:18,180
 Bill, do us a favor. Let's be good about those cheaper ones, okay? Let's talk about the only one that matters.

14
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:26,700
 If we could just beg you to give us a sneak peek of what's between the covers, where would you start as far as Alabama and Auburn?

15
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,180
 What's the vibe at the Sporting News for those respective teams?

16
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:33,320
 Well, you know, I think Alabama's right in about the same range as last year.

17
00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:43,000
 You know, I'm working on, Brett mentioned quarterbacks. I'm working on the annual 1-to-138 coach rankings list, which I know we're going to talk about next week.

18
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:50,080
 And, you know, you kind of, you can look at it one of two ways. You can say, hey, Alabama's lost eight games the last two years.

19
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,120
 Or, you can say, coming off the playoff appearance, which is, as Brett mentioned with Nick Saban on Capitol Hill.

20
00:02:57,260 --> 00:03:03,560
 The playoff is the new standard of success. I mean, you go, you get in, you go from there. That's kind of how this works now.

21
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400
 Absolutely. Your comments on Nick Saban.

22
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,780
 Notre Dame athletic director Pete Vacawa, Gordon Gee, who used to be the Vanderbilt president.

23
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:16,220
 He's been two or three of them.

24
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,660
 Teresa Gould, who is the Pac-12 commissioner.

25
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:25,340
 I understand frustration is the key word now as far as looking at the future of sports.

26
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,600
 Nick Saban went through the litany of the NIL progression for Alabama.

27
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:38,900
 He also warned that non-revenue sports could become club sports if resources are not shifted toward that.

28
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:47,360
 I don't know if they came into any real hard conclusions yesterday in trying to support Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell's bill.

29
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,380
 But your thoughts on Nick Saban's performance yesterday.

30
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,800
 And once again, Bill, where are we going?

31
00:03:54,340 --> 00:03:58,720
 I mean, I think the hard part, well, a couple of things with what Coach Saban said.

32
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:03,920
 One, how about how those numbers escalated with each year?

33
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,160
 Yeah.

34
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,380
 That was right.

35
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:12,260
 Yeah, well, he used the analogy, I think he said Lamborghini.

36
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,700
 And the part that really got me was, yeah, this turns into club sports for everyone else.

37
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,920
 And here's the problem.

38
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,500
 Football's making a ton of money.

39
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:30,380
 And so that vehicle used to be driven, I think I got that right, to fund the other sports so we can enjoy softball.

40
00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:34,960
 I know you guys had baseball on the TVs in the last month, lacrosse, those kind of things.

41
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:43,200
 But now all of that money's going to football, and if that happens and they privatize, those other sports probably do go club.

42
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:45,500
 So it's hard to square.

43
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:54,860
 And I think Saban and Bavacqua, they had some good points, but I don't know if we're driving toward a solution, and that's probably the hard part.

44
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:59,620
 Well, Bill, to your point, obviously, I think Nick put it as well as you could.

45
00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:01,540
 He says he's not against NIL.

46
00:05:01,780 --> 00:05:04,500
 He just don't want everybody driving 120 in a school zone.

47
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,400
 You've got to have some rules.

48
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,920
 And a case in point is this week, Bill.

49
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,580
 We've been talking about this, but now that you're on, and since you brought up that point,

50
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:21,080
 is the college softball World Series where Alabama has, at least what my research says, zero NIL money.

51
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,140
 Texas Tech has almost $4 million.

52
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
 Their opponent in the championship series, Texas, has almost $4 million.

53
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,280
 Here's the problem with it.

54
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:34,740
 How in the world can you level the playing field, call it student-athletes, call it college, call it amateur sports,

55
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:43,200
 if somebody's got this billionaire with an ego and a big bank account spending basically peanuts by his standard of living,

56
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:47,640
 bringing in his kids, making a million dollars in softball,

57
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:54,760
 how in the world can this sustain itself outside of just maybe a Super 4-5 league team across the nation?

58
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:59,000
 Yeah, I mean, Bavacqua talked about the Super League, Harold, right?

59
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:04,900
 He pretty openly presents a case where, hey, man, Notre Dame would be playing Penn State.

60
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:12,220
 Alabama, Georgia, I'm kind of on, I mean, I'm very intrigued by it.

61
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,600
 I know it would be bad for the health of the sport in terms of it's no longer national,

62
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:22,400
 you're closing off some audience, but I mean, that product would be pretty good, at least for a while.

63
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,660
 So, I'm intrigued by it, and I'm wondering if, and I've kind of said this, I think, on this show before,

64
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:37,560
 I'm wondering if college football shouldn't go into, like, it's almost like the FBS is almost like three separate divisions for me.

65
00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:45,100
 It's the heavy hitters, it's that middle tier that would benefit from a 2014 playoff, and then it's the G6 schools.

66
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,500
 It's kind of like high school football to me.

67
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:50,920
 Like, there's certain schools that just have more than others do.

68
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:52,020
 That's the way it is.

69
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:02,240
 It's interesting that Nick Saban is in Washington taking his stance, which, by the way, is 180 from the league he used to sit here

70
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,460
 and talk about, the SEC and the Big Ten.

71
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:07,180
 Rarity, do those two leagues agree on anything?

72
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,480
 But, let's face it, at the end of the day, they want to keep all their toys themselves, and you can't blame them from a business standpoint.

73
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,560
 But, back to Nick Saban, is it safe to say that this man, he could see where nobody else could.

74
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:20,100
 He saw what was coming.

75
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,180
 How big of an influence did the fact that Nick Saban woke up one day and says,

76
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:28,560
 you know, this old recipe is not going to win me a blue ribbon at the county fair anymore.

77
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,960
 It's time to hang it up, go to the beach, go to ESPN, cash those checks, and the heck with his stress.

78
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,900
 I think I see the same thing Nick Saban sees.

79
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,140
 You know, it's all about money and TV now.

80
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:50,940
 Now, you know, some might eye-roll Saban based on this notion of, well, how were you so successful at Alabama when he, you know,

81
00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:51,700
 we don't know.

82
00:07:52,060 --> 00:07:53,360
 There was never anything proven.

83
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:56,320
 There was a couple NCAA violations, nothing too serious.

84
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,680
 But, you know, we can make assumptions.

85
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,900
 But I still think it came down to what Nick Saban always said in his press conferences,

86
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:10,240
 and I believe on some level, the best thing Alabama did under him was produce and develop a ton of NFL first-round talent.

87
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,880
 How they got him there, we can discuss.

88
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,680
 But now, with those numbers about how much guys are getting paid, you can.

89
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,280
 Like you said, Harold, Texas Tech.

90
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:28,420
 I'm not citing, I'm not like singling out Cody Campbell, but, yeah, that's a big reason why they won the NFL last year.

91
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:29,420
 Yeah, that's a fact.

92
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:32,460
 Well, and here's the bottom line, Bill.

93
00:08:32,740 --> 00:08:33,900
 Let's go to football.

94
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,120
 You've got kids.

95
00:08:35,620 --> 00:08:37,840
 Let's just take Carson Beck last year.

96
00:08:38,540 --> 00:08:43,220
 How did his salary compare with some of his assistant coaches on that staff who were telling him what to do?

97
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:45,760
 In other words, it's like Major League Baseball now.

98
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,080
 You've got a superstar and a manager making probably maybe a million, you know, or maybe two.

99
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,900
 And this guy is raking in $20 million or more a year.

100
00:08:54,060 --> 00:09:00,420
 I mean, in a way, the same blueprint for college football now where a kid is making more than a lot of coaches on the staff.

101
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:02,420
 But not the head coach.

102
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,980
 But not the head coach.

103
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:04,280
 Yeah.

104
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,840
 But his position coach, yeah.

105
00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:06,900
 Yeah.

106
00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:11,020
 And I think head coach buyouts and those kind of things also need addressed, too.

107
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:22,240
 I mean, we can make the argument, we've done it on this show, and I've done it up here, is I can make a strong argument that Ryan Day is one of the most important economic employees in the state of Ohio.

108
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,240
 Probably, yeah.

109
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,980
 Because of what the Ohio State money machine drives.

110
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:26,520
 Right.

111
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,740
 Same with Saban down there.

112
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:28,720
 Same with the Boer now.

113
00:09:28,940 --> 00:09:30,340
 I mean, he's riding a huge extension.

114
00:09:30,340 --> 00:09:33,600
 But, I mean, those are things that need to address, too, certainly.

115
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,760
 I mean, the buyout money in college football is pretty absurd.

116
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:37,620
 For coaches.

117
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,720
 But, you know, maybe extending the playoff, expanding the playoff will help with that some, too.

118
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,580
 Yeah, the buyouts have been ludicrous for years.

119
00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:51,660
 Let me ask you a component of this that a lot of people have not discussed.

120
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:56,300
 The College Sports Commission is basically the NIL clearinghouse.

121
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:05,280
 And, again, I don't care if you're the Qantas Club, Augusta National Golf Course, or college football.

122
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,800
 You've got to have some rules.

123
00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:12,640
 And you've got to clear all of these NIL deals through the CSC.

124
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,300
 Well, there's a glut of them now, as everybody can probably expect.

125
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,760
 We are, again, most of these training camps are going to begin late July, the first week in August.

126
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:33,380
 What if we get to that point and there are still 50 of the top NIL deals or even 25 that have not been cleared?

127
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:37,520
 Are these players going to begin sitting out until they're cleared?

128
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,700
 Probably.

129
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:40,740
 I mean, that's part of the mess.

130
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:57,840
 And, you know, we talked about this last week, Brett, where Kirby, when he was talking about breaking away, I don't think he was actually talking about, hey, the SEC needs to break away from every other college football team in the country and, you know, that kind of thing.

131
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,800
 I think it was more about we need rules so that it doesn't happen.

132
00:11:02,540 --> 00:11:03,200
 You know, we need rules.

133
00:11:03,540 --> 00:11:10,760
 I think the other thing that Bavac was said yesterday, not to keep changing subject, but he was right.

134
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:14,180
 You know, like, we need sanity with transfer portal.

135
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,820
 We need sanity with eligibility.

136
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,880
 We need sanity with the calendar.

137
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:25,140
 And I think when those three things are fixed, it's going to, in large part, help and fix a lot of things in college football.

138
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:27,080
 And that's what Kirby was talking about.

139
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,020
 We don't have rules.

140
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:33,240
 The Wild Wild West stuff, that's very real in college football right now.

141
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,500
 Yeah, I don't care what entity you have, they've got to have some rules.

142
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,360
 And you've got to follow those rules or you get out of the organization.

143
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:44,680
 Two things before we go.

144
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:48,380
 Wanted to congratulate you on the quarterback list.

145
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,400
 I think it's a good one again.

146
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,440
 Interesting.

147
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,220
 CJ Carr, number three.

148
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:57,000
 Arch Manning, the Summer of Arch, will continue at number two.

149
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:58,220
 I agree with you.

150
00:11:58,220 --> 00:12:05,220
 I think Trinidad Chambliss, if he plays like he did against Georgia in that playoff game, my lord, look out.

151
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,300
 Sam Leavitt at number 10.

152
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,040
 You've got your quarterback list.

153
00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:14,720
 And tell us again about the sporting news preseason.

154
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:18,040
 And I can't wait to get a copy of it, hopefully later this week.

155
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,000
 Where can we get it?

156
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,060
 And tell us a little bit more about it.

157
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:26,240
 Well, I don't, it's pretty much any grocery store, right?

158
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,820
 You know, from Walmart to Kroger to, you know, I forget which ones you guys are prominent.

159
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,560
 Kroger's real prominent here.

160
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:35,460
 That's the one I did.

161
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:38,220
 I think we have it there.

162
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:45,940
 Kroger was the one that I worked at in college as a, I bet you, you guys couldn't compete with me as a stockman at night.

163
00:12:46,180 --> 00:12:55,020
 And then the second question is, yeah, the quarterbacks, it was fun to put together.

164
00:12:55,180 --> 00:12:56,360
 Trinidad had a great year.

165
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:58,120
 It's not an easy list to do.

166
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,780
 I'm going to tell you, next week we'll be talking about my coach list.

167
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,480
 I'm doing that one right now, and that will prompt plenty of arguments.

168
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880
 But, yeah, the magazine's great.

169
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,520
 I thought the presentation was amazing.

170
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:12,380
 The, you know, I have a lot of articles in there.

171
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,480
 And I'm always, I was kind of pinched myself, Brett, because you're like, I read these things as a kid.

172
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:18,620
 And they're still out.

173
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,780
 And just to have a, I take a lot of pride in having a byline in there.

174
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,220
 So I really appreciate it.

175
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:23,780
 Yeah, absolutely.

176
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:24,580
 Well, you should.

177
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:28,380
 And, well, as far as your personal stuff, Bill, where can we get that, my man?

178
00:13:29,180 --> 00:13:31,780
 Yeah, I'm at BillBender92 at SportingNews.com.

179
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,560
 And, you know, getting ready for another weekend trip, a lacrosse tournament.

180
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,560
 So it's going to be a lot of fun up here in Ohio this week.

181
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:39,500
 Sounds great.

182
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,780
 We can't, Brett and I can't wait for the magazine to come out.

183
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:43,440
 We've got to wait until we get a bogo on it.

184
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,300
 So we'll go from there.

185
00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:46,560
 But enjoy lacrosse and life, my friend.

 Really appreciate it.

287
00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:19,320
 We ride around the Tennessee Valley.

288
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:19,800
 Thank you.

289
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:21,480

 He's a co-host of the Blue Collar Podcast, basketball contributor for Locked on Bama,

292

 the editor of Tide Hoops History, co-host of the Tide Machine Podcast.

293
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,660
 And, by the way, knows what it's like to be at the Tuscaloosa News and the Gaston Tides.

294
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:38,920
 Michael Southern, welcome in.

295
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,500
 How are you?

296
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,880
 I am doing great today, guys.

297
00:19:41,940 --> 00:19:42,260
 How are you all doing?

298
00:19:42,260 --> 00:19:42,460
 Hey, buddy.

299
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:43,660
 Man, we're doing all right.

300
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,300
 First time in a long time we've been able to say this.

301
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:51,100
 Alabama is set to host a super regional in baseball, Michael.

302
00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:51,800
 How about that?

303
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,340
 Yeah, it's been 20 years since they have been able to do that.

304
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:59,160
 And I think the other time was back in 2006 with North Carolina.

305
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,580
 I think that was still under Jim Wells, and they didn't win that one.

306
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,900
 But this is the best opportunity Alabama is going to have to get back to Omaha,

307
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:08,460
 which they haven't done since 1999.

308
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:10,940
 So it looks like there's a lot of excitement.

309
00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:15,060
 I see a lot of information and news popping out that it looks like for a lot of the tickets,

310
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:16,320
 I think they've sold out already.

311
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,540
 So I think you're going to have to go on the secondary market if you still want to go,

312
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:21,020
 which is a really good sign.

313
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:25,380
 So I expect it's going to, even with the terrible 8 p.m. start Saturday night,

314
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,880
 I expect a pretty good environment there at the Joe.

315
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:32,080
 And the thing is I've seen even the Mayor, Walter Maddox, he got out early

316
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,740
 because he saw some of the numbers with the regional and said,

317
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,600
 not going to take any more things for granted.

318
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,520
 He made a plea, and it sounds like the folks have responded.

319
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:44,000
 Of course, when they show up, all they want is to win and then win again.

320
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,240
 How interesting is this?

321
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,040
 They're taking on St. John's.

322
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,620
 It truly is a team of Cinderella-like players as far as the national script.

323
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,000
 They're trying to keep the clock from striking midnight.

324
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,020
 They go to Florida State and show that, hey, don't take us too lightly.

325
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:02,700
 Your thoughts about Alabama as far as just on paper

326
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,500
 and then the mindset of taking on a team like St. John's

327
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:07,740
 because we saw it with Auburn and Milwaukee.

328
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,600
 I think a lot of folks said they might have taken that team a little bit too lightly,

329
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:12,860
 and then they had to fight back.

330
00:21:13,820 --> 00:21:17,780
 Well, I would hope that Coach Vaughn and the staff, there's one thing you can count on,

331
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:21,400
 is with Alabama's inconsistency, they don't need to take anybody like that.

332
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,480
 Nobody, really.

333
00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:24,580
 Yeah, especially with St. John's.

334
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:28,520
 I mean, let's not forget, I believe this is the Big East regular season and tournament champions.

335
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,000
 And look, you go into Tallahassee and you take out the home team from Florida State,

336
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,780
 that's an accomplishment.

337
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:37,700
 So, the biggest thing for Alabama, we've talked about this before,

338
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,340
 they've got a solid starting rotation, which if it goes three games,

339
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:43,120
 you're going to get to use probably all three starters.

340
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:44,080
 Hopefully, you won't have to.

341
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,240
 Hopefully, you just use two.

342
00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:48,240
 But the backbone that you build around is you're starting pitching.

343
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,540
 The problem that you have is there are times when the bats are there,

344
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,200
 there are times when the bats are not.

345
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,560
 The biggest concern, guys, is the fielding.

346
00:21:56,620 --> 00:21:59,200
 This is one of the worst fielding Alabama teams I can remember.

347
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800
 So, that's a big concern from that standpoint.

348
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:02,120
 Yep.

349
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:07,060
 Listen, I don't know if the bad news, Bears had six errors in one game.

350
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:10,520
 Alabama's done that a couple of times, which is incredible.

351
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:12,600
 Let me ask you about Nate Oates.

352
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,380
 I got amused this morning.

353
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,240
 I was looking at Twitter when I first got up.

354
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:25,000
 And it's the fourth of 32 technicals for Nate Oates going back to 2020 with Missouri.

355
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,900
 Talk about how the series is going, number one.

356
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,400
 And then, of course, the big news this week was Aidan Holloway entering the Second Chance program

357
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,260
 to have the two felony drug charges dismissed.

358
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:41,300
 I believe the two misdemeanors have been dismissed.

359
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:45,180
 Now, again, he's got some things to do here.

360
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,880
 Wrote an apology.

361
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:50,600
 He's got to pay a fee, I believe, or a fine of $1,300.

362
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:52,720
 Do some other things.

363
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,680
 And then, once that's taken care of, there's a good probability that he can come back to the team.

364
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,000
 But your thoughts on Aidan Holloway and then your fourth of the series of 32.

365
00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:11,780
 Yeah, so, you know, I'm very glad to see Aidan have an opportunity for redemption here.

366
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:18,000
 You know, the Second Chance program here, you know, I was going to say, you know, if you guys are familiar with Martin Houston,

367
00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:21,760
 you know, he does his own local radio show here in Tuscaloosa every morning.

368
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,300
 And he's actually a volunteer for the Second Chance program.

369
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:30,260
 And he goes and speaks to each class that comes through that has this opportunity to have their records expunged

370
00:23:30,260 --> 00:23:32,680
 and do some community service and things like that.

371
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:34,080
 And he talked about that this morning.

372
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,500
 I listened to him this morning on the radio.

373
00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:41,060
 I'm not going to say there's, we don't know if he might actually be talking to Aidan Holloway when he comes through.

374
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:43,540
 It would be, you know, pretty wild if he did.

375
00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:45,900
 But, you know, he talked about the merits of the program.

376
00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:48,540
 And I'm glad to see Aidan get an opportunity for this.

377
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:53,340
 Look, you know, I know a lot of people, there are some hard liners just saying, kick him off the team.

378
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:54,980
 You know, he doesn't need to be doing this.

379
00:23:54,980 --> 00:23:58,440
 I totally disagree with the circumstances of this case.

380
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,900
 He does need an opportunity to redeem himself.

381
00:24:02,020 --> 00:24:02,980
 He does need to pay some price.

382
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,320
 Look, he's already paid a good price.

383
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,140
 I mean, he missed the NCAA tournament.

384
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:07,160
 He hasn't been with his team.

385
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:08,360
 He can't practice with the team.

386
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:14,060
 For temporarily, he was not expelled from school, but he basically wasn't allowed on school campus until they got that rectified.

387
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:21,060
 So don't think that he hasn't paid a price for what the rest of the country deems something very minor,

388
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,560
 although, you know, it is still illegal in the state of Alabama.

389
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,000
 So huge news.

390
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,260
 You're right.

391
00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:30,500
 As long as Aidan fulfills all the obligations, he will have his record cleaned.

392
00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:32,840
 There will be no felony charges on there.

393
00:24:33,020 --> 00:24:44,160
 And I suspect that if all goes well, you'll see him back on the team, normal circumstances, enrolled as a student in the fall and back on the team with no issues as far as playability and eligibility from that standpoint.

394
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:50,680
 And that's really important because whether Anderson Diaz reclassifies or not, you still need Aidan Holloway this year, no matter what.

395
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,920
 That helps.

396
00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:54,600
 You know, right now, you know, right now your roster is at 13.

397
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,480
 If Diaz were to somehow reclassify in the coming months, now you're at 14.

398
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:00,240
 So you've got a pretty good roster coming up.

399
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,360
 And the other thing as far as the technical fouls.

400
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:03,760
 Right.

401
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,580
 So something fun we always do.

402
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,780
 We always do a summer series on Tide Hoops history.

403
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,780
 And we're kind of kicking the can around what might be kind of fun because we like to do fun stuff.

404
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:18,680
 And, you know, we thought about the fact that, you know, Coach Oates has 33 technical fouls in 32 games.

405
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,220
 So we're like, well, let's just go ahead and spotlight all 32 games.

406
00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:26,240
 People may forget how far this goes back, but he jumped on it pretty quick even in his first season.

407
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,640
 So his first season in 2019 and 2020, he had six games and six technicals.

408
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:33,440
 It was pretty funny.

409
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,280
 And, look, it's kind of hard to get game footage back in 19 and 20.

410
00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:41,500
 So I was only able to find a few press conferences here and there.

411
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,280
 But as we get closer and closer, we'll be able to actually get video of him actually getting the technical foul.

412
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:52,440
 So you'll see some future updates and posts with actual footage from the game where he's getting the team.

413
00:25:52,860 --> 00:25:55,360
 And let's not forget, there is one game out there where he got ejected.

414
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:56,580
 And there's definitely a video of that.

415
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,120
 So it's going to be a fun series for the rest of this month and the first week of July.

416
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:00,880
 Absolutely.

417
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,780
 Michael, the other thing I got tickled about was you list the officials.

418
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:06,440
 There's Doug Schau.

419
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,340
 Now, I don't know how many tees Doug Schau has given.

420
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:18,000
 And Harold and I have talked about him and some of the other SEC officials that have been around for a while.

421
00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:21,240
 But that one did not surprise me in the slightest.

422
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,060
 Listen, we've got to run to a French Open tennis update.

423
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,240
 But tell us again quickly about the website, where we can get on in.

424
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:36,000
 And will the fifth in the 32-part series be next week?

425
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,880
 Well, it's daily.

426
00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:39,620
 Okay.

427
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:40,340
 Okay.

428
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,860
 It's a continuation of 32 straight days.

429
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,040
 So today was the fourth of 32.

430
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,700
 Just go to X and go to AdVamahistory or just do a search and expertise history and you'll find it.

431
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,580
 But we'll have another one tomorrow and the day after and the day after until we get to 32 straight days.

432
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,560
 And the thing is, Michael, we just got this note from Nate.

433
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,280
 If you don't do that, he will ring you up.

434
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,780
 He will give you a technical foul.

435
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,820
 So no pressure, okay?

436
00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:07,500
 That sounds good.

437
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,240
 I'm okay with that.

438
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:08,980
 Thank you, bud.

439
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,580
 Thanks so much.

440
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:12,400
 Michael Southern, co-host of the Blue Collar Podcast.

441
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,180
 Again, BB, in case you missed it.

442
00:27:15,060 --> 00:27:17,600
 Do they have any more toilet paper at Toomer's Corner?

443
00:27:17,740 --> 00:27:22,420
 First, the NIT and now golf, celebrating national championship time again, BB, on the plains.

444
00:27:22,580 --> 00:27:28,000
 Now, Harold, the rolling yesterday does not equate to any great football win.

445
00:27:28,140 --> 00:27:31,400
 But, yeah, I did notice that they got a supply out yesterday.

446
00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:37,220
 Watch out for the crazy water if you head down to the plains right now until you get restocked with a toilet paper.

447
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,600
 Coming up, what do you say we skip over the big pond, the Atlantic Ocean,

448
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,320
 and find out the very latest from the French Open here on Sports Radio 93.9, the score.

 It is day 12 in Paris, and with both women's semifinal matches in the books,

453
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:06,640
 the women's final is officially set.

454
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:11,440
 24-year-old Polish qualifier Maya Walensky advanced to her first-ever Grand Slam final.

455
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,220
 Stunning 25th-seeded Russian Diana Schneider 7664.

456
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:22,060
 Walensky will play 8-seeded teen Myra Andreeva, who defeated 15-seeded Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk today in straight sets.

457
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:26,000
 The weather this morning, not ideal, but Andreeva wasn't going to let that get in her way.

458
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:30,380
 I just told myself that no matter what happens, I'm just going to fight, give my best,

459
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:35,100
 and, you know, if she ends up winning, then she's going to have to really work for it and fight.

460
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,540
 Andreeva on to her first Grand Slam final a little more than three years after her breakout when she was just 15.

483
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:25,540
 It's happening all week at Cypress Creek Indoor Range on our ninth birthday party, May 31st to June the 6th.

484
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:32,500

485
00:30:32,860 --> 00:30:36,640
 Ah, this feeling is brought to you by Aleve for Arthritis Pain Relief.

486
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:37,760
 What feeling is that?

487
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,680
 Well, it's the feeling you feel when you have relief from arthritis pain.

488
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,120
 It's that my hands don't hurt just holding things feeling.

489
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:45,420
 That, wow, I can actually move well feeling.

490
00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:49,060
 You know, that go about your day without worrying about every little movement or ache feeling.

491
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:49,880
 Oh, yeah.

492
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,240
 Because Aleve targets arthritis pain at the source of inflammation for long-lasting relief.

493
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:55,820

 Hey, John, why so glum?

498
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,200
 I just got let go.

499
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,600
 The company's downsizing.

500
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:09,160
 This is the third time in the last two years.

501
00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:10,560
 I'm done with this.

502
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,940

505
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:20,620
 Now that's a recession-resistant career.

506
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,540
 Wow, thanks.

512
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:40,440
 Success is no longer about hard work alone.

513
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,700

519
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,620
 My name is Whitney Allen, and I'm a widow.

520
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:05,900
 My husband, Ryan, died.

521

531
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,400
 Getting sick always happens at the worst time, the middle of the night, weekends, or right before the holidays.

532
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,920
 Your doctor's office is closed, and urgent care means long waits and big bills.

533
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:45,740
 That's why I keep a medical emergency kit at home.

534
00:32:45,980 --> 00:32:48,280
 Prescription medications ready when I need them.

535
00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:52,540

536

 This isn't a first-aid kit.

537
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,460
 It's like having an urgent care and a pharmacy right there in your home.

538
00:32:57,460 --> 00:33:05,960
 You get essential prescriptions like a generic Z-Pak, plus antibiotics for pneumonia, strep, ear and sinus infections, even meds for nausea and UTIs.

00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:10,340

554
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,120
 Welcome back in.

555
00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:08,200
 Really appreciate your ride around the Tennessee Valley.

556
00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:11,120
 And BB, obviously, efforting to hook up with Ryan Callahan.

557
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,500
 He's busy there covering the big orange at Tennessee.

558
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:16,300
 But, in the meantime, your thoughts.

559
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:21,840
 I was out yesterday and crossed paths with a neighbor, and he's a big Alabama fan.

560
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,340
 And, basically, he was trying to stay off medication with where things are right now as far as recruiting.

561
00:34:29,340 --> 00:34:31,260
 It's a different era out there.

562
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,040
 It's early June.

563
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,380
 They've already said they're going to be taking a smaller class.

564
00:34:36,940 --> 00:34:38,960
 What they have, they've got a collection.

565
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,820
 It's a very interesting makeup, is it not with stars?

566
00:34:40,860 --> 00:34:47,700
 Because we all know, back in the day, this guy named Saban, anything less than a four, and it was almost instant panic.

567
00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:54,520
 Now, you see fives, but you also see threes, and not a lot of buzz about those guys.

568
00:34:54,520 --> 00:35:03,900
 Your thoughts about the makeup, where we're on the calendar, and the importance of practicing patience in 2026 as opposed to 2016.

569
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:13,220
 Well, one of the reasons why the Fast Hores, or a lot of them, have not committed yet is they're taking their next four weeks for official visits.

570
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:18,200
 The big dogs, as Pat Dye used to say, the big dogs come on the porch late.

571
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:19,520
 Ryan has joined us again.

572
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,860
 But, no, they just need to be patient.

573
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:33,080
 Ryan can explain the recruiting calendar, but, no, Alabama fans, first of all, they're going to probably only end up signing by the time they get to December 12 to 15.

574
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:41,080
 But there are four more weeks minimum of visits, and you're going to be seeing a lot more commitments come mid-July.

575
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,600
 You know, the nice thing, and I'm sure Ryan will concur about this, about Tennessee fans, they never get upset about anything.

576
00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:47,620
 They're very patient.

577
00:35:48,620 --> 00:35:52,020
 Nine and three, as long as they get a participation trophy, I'm sure they're happy.

578
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,380
 We can confirm that or not with Ryan.

579
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,300
 Ryan Catlihan with Go Vols 24-7.

580
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:57,080
 Ryan, welcome in.

581
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,800
 Can you confirm that opinion?

582
00:35:58,920 --> 00:35:59,540
 How are you?

583
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:01,220
 Yeah, doing well.

584
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:05,420
 Yeah, I mean, I think in the SEC, they're known for just all these programs.

585
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,180
 The only thing that tops their passion is their patience.

586
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:09,140
 That's right.

587
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,160
 Patience!

588
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:11,180
 I don't want patience.

589
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:12,340
 I want it yesterday, Ryan.

590
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,060
 It's crazy out there.

591
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:24,620
 Is it safe to say that Danny White is hearing the two words that every AD loves out there, and that's sold out when it comes to season tickets?

592
00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:33,540
 Remember, speaking of the aforementioned Nick Saban, when he was kicking A across the league, seats at Nayland Stadium had more dust in my social calendar.

593
00:36:34,340 --> 00:36:36,280
 Is there good days or back other than not, Ryan?

594
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,480
 Yeah, they are, no question.

595
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:46,260
 On the financial side, on the ticket-selling side, they've been on a remarkably strong run here for a few years across multiple sports.

596
00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:53,400
 Baseball demand was so high under Tony Vitello, they were forced to expand Lindsay Nelson Stadium by a few thousand.

597
00:36:54,500 --> 00:37:00,800
 Basketball continues to draw consistently over 20,000, selling out a lot of its SEC games.

598
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:07,120
 And on the football side, four straight years now that they've sold out of season tickets.

599
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,720
 And going back to 2022, their sellout streak of 20-plus games.

600
00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:18,200
 So pretty impressive what they've done, but no secret to it, they've been winning more than they were before that.

601
00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:20,120
 And that's a big part of it, obviously.

602
00:37:20,340 --> 00:37:22,980
 And Josh Heifel's given them a fun product to sell.

603
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:32,520
 The interesting thing about this year is hard to say what to make of the fact that the sellout streak will continue and the season tickets sold out again by the end of the spring.

604
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,340
 Because they've got such a good schedule this year.

605
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:43,520
 It's arguably Tennessee's best home schedule ever, or certainly one of their best ever, when you consider that they've got four big SEC games,

606
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,980
 and three of them are at home with Alabama, LSU, and Texas all coming to New England Stadium.

607
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,260
 So those three games alone made it a pretty easy sell to sell season tickets for Tennessee.

608
00:37:53,260 --> 00:37:59,000
 And I think they'd probably be selling out-of-season tickets even if there were a lot of 6-6, 7-5 projections out there for Tennessee,

609
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,840
 which I guess they're not too far ahead of that anyway in some places.

610
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:04,900
 But regardless, I think that schedule sells itself in a lot of ways.

611
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,440
 Ryan, talk to us about that LSU game.

612
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:12,380
 It's any time that LSU fans are crazy no matter where they play.

613
00:38:12,940 --> 00:38:18,280
 But let's face it, when this guy named Kiffin was at Ole Miss, we know what happened in one of his visits there.

614
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:21,620
 Will they be selling us some extra mustard for this game this year?

615
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:27,460
 Add the mustard, hold the golf balls is what they're hoping for this time.

616
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:31,300
 But we'll see if they can get the fans to abide by that.

617
00:38:31,420 --> 00:38:38,080
 I mean, I don't know if you saw the Oxford, Mississippi Police Department sort of rolling their eyes

618
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:43,660
 and saying thanks a lot for the night game when Ole Miss plays LSU this year.

619
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,180
 That'll be a zoo down there.

620
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,140
 They drink beer down there, by the way.

621
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:49,260
 I've heard that.

622
00:38:49,980 --> 00:38:53,500
 So if that's the wildest scene this year in the SEC,

623
00:38:53,780 --> 00:38:57,820
 then I think Tennessee LSU has a chance to be right behind it, not too far down the list.

624
00:38:58,220 --> 00:39:03,120
 I mean, at least they've gotten that initial return by Lane Kiffin as a head coach out of the way

625
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,740
 back when Ole Miss came to Tennessee.

626
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:06,800
 But, yeah, you've got him at LSU now.

627
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,880
 Should be a playoff contender this year if that team lives up to expectations.

628
00:39:11,340 --> 00:39:13,100
 Oh, by the way, you've got T. Martin,

629
00:39:13,220 --> 00:39:16,800
 the former Tennessee National Championship winning quarterback on that staff at LSU.

630
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:21,660
 And Ed Orgeron, who was also at Tennessee with him back in the day and now back at LSU.

631
00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:26,940
 So, yeah, some fun connections there that should make that an interesting game for sure.

632
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,420
 Tennessee's just hoping that's a meaningful game for them because it's the next-to-last game of the regular season.

633
00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:36,180
 They've got a lot of big ones to play before then, and they'll be coming off a trip to Texas A&M the week before.

634
00:39:36,580 --> 00:39:38,480
 That's a tough spot for Tennessee.

635
00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:44,140
 And also right before what will probably be an important game this year at Vanderbilt to end the regular season

636
00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:46,160
 after they lost to Vanderbilt last year at home.

637
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,640
 Let me ask you about the future of college football, and I'm going to dovetail this back to Tennessee.

638
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:57,140
 Nick Saban testified yesterday in front of the Senate Commerce Committee, of course,

639
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,960
 about the Protect College Sports Act.

640
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,940
 He is for it.

641
00:40:01,060 --> 00:40:06,020
 I know the SEC and the Big Ten came out with a public statement a couple of days ago

642
00:40:06,020 --> 00:40:08,640
 saying there are things about it that they do not like.

643
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,860
 The Notre Dame AD and some others testified about it, too.

644
00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:21,780
 And, again, nobody's going to agree on all this stuff, but I do agree with the one-year transfer, five years to play five.

645
00:40:22,260 --> 00:40:29,460
 They wanted to try to restrict the agent's fee to 5%, the Chuckle Lane Kiffin rule.

646
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:40,120
 But Danny White has been rather vocal, and he's using the two words that the NCAA and a lot of people have tried to forget about

647
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,820
 or not even think about, and that's collective bargaining.

648
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:49,660
 He is for a 2014 playoff, and he has always been for collective bargaining.

649
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:56,480
 Your thoughts on what happened yesterday in Washington, and Danny White is an interesting guy

650
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,580
 when it comes to talking about the future of college football.

651
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,000
 Yeah, he is an interesting guy.

652
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,680
 He tries to be, I think, a little bit on the forefront of what needs to happen

653
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,880
 and what he thinks is going to happen across college sports.

654
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,580
 I think that's your job as an athletic director.

655
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:17,520
 You've got to see the big picture and hopefully see it before your peers if there's any competitive advantage to be gained.

656
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,680
 But, yeah, he's been pretty adamant about this from the start, that the only real solution he sees is collective bargaining,

657
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:31,680
 and he thinks or he's afraid that too many of his peers are going to drag their feet on reaching that conclusion.

658
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:37,280
 I think he's just been skeptical of the only other solution, which is congressional action.

659
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,040
 He's been skeptical that that's going to work out now, and we'll see if they can get the support for that.

660
00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:46,120
 That was an interesting day in Washington for sure.

661
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,940
 So, at least it's maybe a step towards some sort of framework that they can rely on.

662
00:41:50,940 --> 00:41:59,980
 But until that happens, Danny White just knows that all the discussions that take place are just delaying the inevitable,

663
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:00,800
 the way he sees it.

664
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:07,060
 Because unless you get that antitrust exemption, any sort of rules, guardrails, whatever you want to call them,

665
00:42:07,060 --> 00:42:09,780
 that you put in place is going to be challenged in court.

666
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,520
 And we've seen it with too many of these players seeking additional eligibility.

667
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:17,280
 Any money issues can end up in court.

668
00:42:17,380 --> 00:42:23,820
 There's just too many things that legal action as opposed to the NCA action are now the rule of the land.

669
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:27,380
 So, I think he's got a valid point.

670
00:42:27,380 --> 00:42:30,960
 But, yeah, the big wild card in that is can Congress do anything?

671
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,900
 And if they do, that obviously would take care of that problem.

672
00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:38,880
 They've just been slow to do that to this point, and not a lot happens in Washington a lot of times anyway.

673
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:41,460
 A lot of things stay the same.

674
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:46,380
 So, I think there's been a lot of skepticism on a lot of ends in college sports about whether that would be the answer.

675
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:52,480
 Congress, not only can they not pass a bill, they can't pass anything even down the hall.

676
00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:54,320
 So, good luck with that one.

677
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:59,400
 Look, we're going to be talking about this this time next year because all they're going to do is kick it down the road

678
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,760
 until Perry Mason and Matlock team up inside on the right side of that argument.

679
00:43:04,020 --> 00:43:06,960
 But, in the meantime, Ryan, let's talk about Tennessee recruiting.

680
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:08,460
 Kind of give us a perspective.

681
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:13,020
 DeBoer has already said Alabama is going to have a smallish class by comparison.

682
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:19,540
 Your thoughts about where things are with Tennessee on the recruiting calendar and, as far as size, where's Tennessee?

683
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,760
 What are their expectations for this class?

684
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,880
 Yeah, so they're in an interesting spot.

685
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:28,040
 They're at nine commitments right now for the 2027 class.

686
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,740
 And not extremely high in the rankings right now, but that's not all that unusual.

687
00:43:33,060 --> 00:43:38,260
 They're one of those schools that typically goes on a big run in the summer, and there's a lot of those.

688
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,120
 But they tend to get half or more of their class in the month of June, July, and August.

689
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:49,380
 So, you kind of have to wait and just see how it all plays out over the next two months or so before reaching any conclusions.

690
00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:56,340
 I sound like a broken record, I think, on Go Vols 24-7 because this conversation almost always comes up in May or June at some point.

691
00:43:57,380 --> 00:43:58,540
 What's going on in recruiting?

692
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:00,760
 Why don't they have more commitments?

693
00:44:01,020 --> 00:44:03,920
 Why all these other schools are adding players and Tennessee's not?

694
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:13,160
 And last year, I had to remind people, Tennessee was ranked in the 50s nationally at some point in the first two weeks of June before going on that summer run.

695
00:44:13,220 --> 00:44:16,120
 They ended up with a top-10 class that was Josh Heupel's best at Tennessee.

696
00:44:16,420 --> 00:44:24,480
 So, you just don't know at this point in the year what's going to happen, and there's too many things still in play to really even tell you how it's going to go.

697
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,280
 But I do think they're going to end up with a class of 20-plus still.

698
00:44:27,940 --> 00:44:32,580
 High school recruiting is an interesting discussion these days because so many people are wanting to save money for the transfer portal

699
00:44:32,580 --> 00:44:41,040
 and not burn too much of it on players who might not contribute much as true freshmen, at the very least, if not for a couple years in many cases.

700
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:48,640
 So, that's a discussion Tennessee's having just like other schools, but I think they still see the value in signing a good number of high school players.

701
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,280
 It's just going to be interesting to see what caliber of players some of those are.

702
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,880
 Will you have a weaker bottom half of the class, maybe?

703
00:44:56,020 --> 00:45:02,860
 Because what's happening in some cases is those high three-star and mid three-star players that Tennessee and other schools used to fill out their class with,

704
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:09,880
 those types of players are getting scooped up by schools like Kentucky, NC State.

705
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:14,180
 Those types of programs are able to throw more money at those players because everyone has money.

706
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:21,380
 And so, now those players that might not be worth as much to a school like Tennessee and other schools willing to outspend you and make things tough.

707
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,960
 So, how they fill it out will be fascinating, but I think they definitely plan to still add, you know,

708
00:45:26,020 --> 00:45:28,300
 probably a dozen or more players here over the next few months.

709
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,920
 And, you know, which ones they get, we'll see.

710
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,900
 Let me ask you about two potential recruits.

711
00:45:33,340 --> 00:45:42,020
 Four-star tight end Malik Howard, 6'3", 230-ish, 53 catches, 778 with Oak Ridge.

712
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:47,300
 Seems to be, again, according to some reports, between Tennessee and Oregon.

713
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:51,580
 And then what I call a scat back, 5'8", 177.

714
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,900
 But, boy, he's a dynamic playmaker.

715
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:57,180
 Four-star wide receiver Eric McFarlane.

716
00:45:57,980 --> 00:46:06,060
 Tennessee has certainly been in on him, considered to be the number six wide receiver nationally for 24-7 sports.

717
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,720
 Your thoughts on Malik Howard and McFarlane.

718
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,620
 Yeah, well, Malik Howard here locally, just down the road in Oak Ridge,

719
00:46:16,620 --> 00:46:20,200
 has been a big target for Tennessee for almost two years now.

720
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,880
 He's been in Tennessee a bunch of times.

721
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,200
 He was just on campus less than two weeks ago for their 865 live events they have leading into official visits.

722
00:46:27,420 --> 00:46:31,860
 And then his official visit to Knoxville is this weekend, so that's a big, big visit.

723
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:39,400
 Tennessee hoping, if it can, to close that one out as early as, you know, in the next few days.

724
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,460
 But, you know, as you said, Oregon, Notre Dame is the other school that's been heavily involved there.

725
00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:47,360
 That official visit has been on the books for next weekend.

726
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:50,740
 He's made it clear, though, he's moving toward decision pretty quickly,

727
00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:54,460
 and probably will make one here in the next couple weeks if everything holds according to plan.

728
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,840
 So, you know, this is a big visit for Tennessee.

729
00:46:57,020 --> 00:46:59,140
 They, I think, have some momentum going into this one.

730
00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:01,200
 There's reason to think they could keep him home.

731
00:47:01,340 --> 00:47:03,980
 But you see more and more of these recruitments.

732
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,720
 They can go sideways at the last minute.

733
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,520
 You just never know.

734
00:47:06,620 --> 00:47:09,360
 Tennessee missed out on a local player here last month,

735
00:47:09,420 --> 00:47:14,620
 Terrell Chandler, a four-star safety slash linebacker, ended up laying toward Miami.

736
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,240
 Then a couple days later it was Tennessee.

737
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,520
 Then he ends up committing to Clemson by the time he announces.

738
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:25,080
 So you just, you can't guarantee that those homegrown kids are going to stay home these days.

739
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,640
 But that's one Tennessee would certainly love to keep in East Tennessee.

740
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,260
 And then Eric McFarland, Tennessee had him on an official visit a couple weeks ago.

741
00:47:31,780 --> 00:47:32,960
 Made a good impression there.

742
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:37,540
 There's been more buzz about Texas A&M in particular and a couple other schools involved there.

743
00:47:37,660 --> 00:47:40,280
 Florida hosts him this weekend on what should be his final visit.

744
00:47:40,460 --> 00:47:45,080
 So some important visits still taking place there, but Tennessee's at least in the mix.

745
00:47:45,340 --> 00:47:48,260
 And they've already got one highly ranked receiver in this class in Keyshawn Bowman.

746
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,160
 Would love to add him to go along with it, but that one might be a tough one for them to win out in the end.

747
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:55,820
 But Texas A&M and some others really making him a big priority.

748
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:02,720
 Ryan Callahan, go ball 24-7 tonight, game one of the College World Series when it comes to softball.

749
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:06,040
 Texas is there after beating Tennessee twice in one day.

750
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,680
 Texas Tech is there after beating Alabama twice in one day.

751
00:48:10,060 --> 00:48:12,240
 We've seen their NIL budgets respectively.

752
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,460
 We've seen Alabama's.

753
00:48:13,460 --> 00:48:19,360
 Ryan, where's Tennessee's, how much of the pie does Tennessee softball get of NIL money?

754
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,220
 Well, so on the revenue sharing side, we do know those numbers.

755
00:48:24,420 --> 00:48:33,180
 On the NIL side, how much they might be getting, you know, beyond that from whatever, you know, third-party deals still exist in this current framework is hard to say.

756
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:45,180
 But on the revenue sharing side, Tennessee's model has been, you know, basically 75% for football, 15% for men's basketball, 5% for baseball, and then 5% for all other sports.

757
00:48:45,180 --> 00:48:48,980
 With 4% out of that 5% going to women's basketball.

758
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,780
 So basically, not a whole lot for softball and other sports.

759
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:57,720
 So you would think there's got to be some third-party dealings there to sort of offset that.

760
00:48:57,860 --> 00:49:00,160
 But it's a tricky deal.

761
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:03,380
 There's not enough money to go around, and Tennessee has made it clear.

762
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,620
 You know, Danny White loves the tag-everything school.

763
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,160
 They don't consider themselves just a football school, just a basketball school.

764
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:11,480
 They want to be competitive in all of it.

765
00:49:11,540 --> 00:49:18,080
 They've obviously done a good job in softball, had trouble getting over the hump, but they've been in the Women's College World Series and been in the mix several times now.

766
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,800
 So, you know, can they remain competitive on the NIL front?

767
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:29,440
 That's an interesting discussion when you've got, you know, at least four or five other sports hoping to get their piece of the pie, too, and there's just not enough to go around.

768
00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:34,780
 And obviously, football, such a drain on resources with how much money there is funneled toward that sport.

769
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,440
 So, yeah, I don't know exact numbers on that, but we know that based on the revenue-sharing pie, it's not a very big share.

770
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:51,240
 And there was a big discussion there over how the baseball program versus women's basketball, how that money was divided.

771
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:54,520
 Some frustration maybe on Tony Vitello's end before he left Tennessee.

772
00:49:54,860 --> 00:49:57,480
 Don't think that's why he left, but it was a discussion.

773
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,440
 So, with those two programs fighting over it, you know there's less for softball than those two.

774
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,020
 So, it's a tough deal for athletic directors to manage that.

775
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,280
 We talked about Tennessee baseball being up and down.

776
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:18,760
 And when you follow a legend in Tennessee baseball with Vitello, we knew that it was not going to be maybe the best of years, and that ended up more or less happening.

777
00:50:18,940 --> 00:50:20,100
 But you know this league.

778
00:50:20,180 --> 00:50:23,600
 There are seven SEC teams in Super Regional.

779
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,660
 In fact, there are so many of them, four are playing each other.

780
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:31,540
 How many of the seven SEC teams advanced to the College World Series?

781
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:33,880
 That's a good question.

782
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:38,080
 I mean, obviously, any of those teams that have reached this point are capable of getting there.

783
00:50:38,460 --> 00:50:40,780
 You know, you see some years where it's, you know, five or six.

784
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:48,960
 I'm trying to think over all the matchups off the top of my head here, but I feel like four is probably a good number.

785
00:50:49,260 --> 00:50:53,440
 I think somewhere around half the field in Omaha ends up being SEC teams.

786
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,880
 It's set up well for some of them.

787
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,060
 You know, it's hard.

788
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,060
 There's a lot of parity in that sport these days.

789
00:51:00,260 --> 00:51:07,040
 Tennessee found out the hard way last week, losing to a three-seed and then a four-seed to go two and out as a number two seed in the Chapel Hill Regional.

790
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,460
 So, you know, it's an unpredictable sport these days.

791
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,880
 LSU can go from national champion to winning nine games in SEC play.

792
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,740
 It's hard to predict one weekend to the next.

793
00:51:18,540 --> 00:51:26,480
 But, yeah, I think four sounds about right, and the SEC, you know, strong showing so far and not surprising with the depth in that league and that sport.

794
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,920
 Yeah, and I've got a little bit of March Madness in me towards the Cinderella.

795
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:39,820
 Kind of nice to see Little Rock, Troy, Cal Poly, St. John, West Virginia.

796
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,360
 Teams that you normally don't associate.

797
00:51:42,580 --> 00:51:50,960
 In fact, I think all of the teams that made the College World Series are out of this, which, quite frankly, is amazing to me.

798
00:51:51,380 --> 00:51:52,880
 Listen, a lot of things going on.

799
00:51:53,180 --> 00:51:56,700
 Recruiting, wrap-up of softball and baseball.

800
00:51:57,020 --> 00:51:58,340
 Football is always here.

801
00:51:58,780 --> 00:52:00,940
 Where can we get online to get all your great stuff?

802
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:10,360
 Yeah, we've been tracking the whole Chaz Coleman saga in Tennessee with the state transfer not being involved in off-season workouts and things like that,

803
00:52:10,420 --> 00:52:14,920
 as it looks to be headed toward an inevitable end, perhaps, at some point.

804
00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:18,300
 But regardless, got that to keep track of in addition to all that.

805
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:20,540

809
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,020
 He's probably the top target on Tennessee's board regardless of position.

810
00:52:36,140 --> 00:52:39,060
 The running back out of Baylor School in Chattanooga, originally from Canada.

811
00:52:39,220 --> 00:52:40,880
 So, big weekend for Tennessee on the recruiting front.

812
00:52:40,980 --> 00:52:43,360
 Got it all covered for you at GoVols247.com.

 Thanks a lot, guys.

817

 Thank you, bud.

821
00:52:59,240 --> 00:52:59,560
 Confused?

822
00:52:59,660 --> 00:53:01,840
 We'll try to straighten it out in the second half of the Boomhole Bug Show.

823
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:02,480

827

 And that's important.

843
00:54:03,020 --> 00:54:04,200
 Trying to keep costs down.

844
00:54:05,020 --> 00:54:05,940
 It's been perfect.

845

 It took less than 15 minutes.

849
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,280
 It was like, ah!

 That's why Allstate just lowered the price of car insurance.

 Not, but wait, there's a catch.

863
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:56,100
 Lower.

864
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,320

 I can't wait, but you contacted 8-1-1 before digging, right?

889
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,360
 Yeah, we're contractors.

890
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:24,860
 We know where everything's buried.

891
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,400

897
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:55,320
 The residents of the city of Bessemer are dealing with the reality that their elected officials have a major conflict of interest

898
00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:01,840
 in that they have signed non-disclosure agreements with the land developers seeking to bring a data center to that area.

899
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:07,360
 This massive data center would be built on 1,600 acres and is being called Project Marvel.

900
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,740
 It's valued at $14 billion and is being developed by Logistics Land Investment out of Georgia.

901
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:18,960
 Residents have been very concerned about the effects the data center will have on fuel and water when it comes to the environment,

902
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,780
 as well as quality of life with noise and lighting.

903
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:29,960
 Bessemer residents are among a multitude of communities across the nation who have had to self-organize in order to fight the sudden influx of these data centers

904
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,060
 that are not providing any transparency to the community on what the long-term effects will be.

905
00:57:34,060 --> 00:57:39,820
 Many of these community members have told 1819 News that they've submitted hundreds of questions and have yet to get a response.

906
00:57:40,180 --> 00:57:45,700
 Landowners in the area say they've approached the city council and zoning authority with their concerns and are still not getting answers.

907
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:54,460
 And it's now coming to light that many of the city employees, including the mayor and city attorney for Bessemer, have all signed non-disclosure agreements with the land developers.

908
00:57:54,460 --> 00:58:02,860
 And even though they held positions of serving the public, they can now not disclose any information that is affecting the public when it comes to these data centers.

909
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:05,520
 I'll be back with more Alabama stories after this.

 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

959
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,500
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

960
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,980
 And for Logan Fowler to take time out of his busy schedule.

961
01:01:02,180 --> 01:01:05,760
 Busy there covering Auburn at 1819 News.

962
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,720
 Logan, welcome in.

963
01:01:08,060 --> 01:01:11,680
 What better way to tee up the second hour than talking with you about Auburn sports.

964
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:12,280
 How are you?

965
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,520
 I'm doing very well, guys.

966
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:14,960
 How are y'all?

967
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,200
 Man, we're doing almost as well as the Auburn golf team.

968
01:01:18,340 --> 01:01:20,440
 What's going on in the water, Logan?

969
01:01:20,860 --> 01:01:24,400
 We joked earlier they're going to have to go get some more toilet paper for Toomer's Corner.

970
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,240
 First, celebrating a national title at the NIT in basketball.

971
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:33,740
 And now, just a few weeks later, celebrating another national championship on the golf links.

972
01:01:34,700 --> 01:01:34,920
 Yeah.

973
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:35,360
 Yeah.

974
01:01:35,420 --> 01:01:41,400
 I mean, this Auburn men's golf team has been the best team in the nation, you know, consistently

975
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:47,980
 over the year, and they've, you know, obviously been tabbed over the last few years as a national contender.

976
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:54,800
 This is the second time in the last three years that this Auburn men's golf team has won a national title.

977
01:01:55,700 --> 01:01:59,320
 You know, yesterday's match against UCLA, they went in 4-1.

978
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:00,280
 They never trailed.

979
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:04,940
 It was honestly just pure domination from this Auburn team.

980
01:02:05,060 --> 01:02:13,860
 I think the only match that they lost was Josiah Gilbert, who, you know, he had a great day in the semifinals.

981
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:16,080
 So, I mean, that's no shot at him.

982
01:02:16,340 --> 01:02:23,960
 But, yeah, I mean, Auburn, it was pretty much pure domination against UCLA en route to another national title.

983
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:33,900
 I think this is a sign of things to come, that Auburn's going to continuously, you know, be on top of the leaderboard, you know, in the college golf world.

984
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:42,380
 I think that obviously you're never going to have another, or, well, I'm not going to say never, but Jackson Coyvins are not, you know, growing on trees everywhere.

985
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,180
 So, you're obviously going to miss him.

986
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:50,460
 He has another year if he wants to come back, but I believe he's going to take his talents to the pro ranks.

987
01:02:50,460 --> 01:02:57,260
 But, yeah, I mean, it's really nice to see, you know, I was telling somebody yesterday, I was like,

988
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,180
 Auburn's really kind of got it figured out in a lot of sports.

989
01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:07,300
 I mean, now you just kind of need football and softball and maybe women's basketball to pick it up.

990
01:03:07,540 --> 01:03:14,680
 But Auburn's seeing a lot of success in, you know, in these sports such as golf and men's tennis and things like that.

991
01:03:15,260 --> 01:03:17,620
 Let me ask you about men's basketball.

992
01:03:17,820 --> 01:03:27,340
 We found out yesterday they're going to be playing Middle Tennessee State in Huntsville, Alabama at the Rocket City Classic at Probst Arena.

993
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,420
 I believe their second time.

994
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:37,620
 This is the fourth or will be the fourth Rocket City Classic in Huntsville, Alabama was there with Kennesaw State last December.

995
01:03:38,420 --> 01:03:43,340
 And that game is four days before Auburn plays Wisconsin in Nashville.

996
01:03:43,980 --> 01:03:46,420
 Again, another tough preseason schedule.

997
01:03:47,180 --> 01:03:57,680
 Auburn's going to be participating in the Players' Era Tournament with West Virginia, Kansas, or UNLV in another team yet to be announced, I believe.

998
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:07,380
 But Steve and Pearl ended the season on a good note, and Auburn is, you well know, and we do, they've got quite an alumni base in North Alabama.

999
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:08,880
 Yeah.

1000
01:04:09,820 --> 01:04:15,320
 Yeah, that's what North Auburn's what they call it up there, you know, in the Huntsville and the Nashville area.

1001
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:23,220
 You know, if Auburn's ever playing semi-close to the state of Alabama, you're going to have a good showing from Auburn fans.

1002
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:33,800
 You know, I was actually, this has nothing to do with the basketball crowd, but I was telling somebody the other day, you know, look at the, everybody, everybody mentions the Auburn family.

1003
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:42,120
 And I know it's cliche and all, but I looked at the baseball crowd at 1 a.m. the other day, and I'm like, tell me another, show me another school that's doing that, right?

1004
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:50,600
 I mean, it shows up in not just football, it shows up in basketball and baseball, you know, and there's people traveling for all these sports.

1005
01:04:50,840 --> 01:05:08,200
 Auburn fan base certainly does show up and show out, but yep, this will, the Rocket City Classic, that'll be Auburn's second time participating in that event where they took down UNC Asheville, I think it was 87-62 in the first year of the event in 2023.

1006
01:05:08,380 --> 01:05:19,860
 So, it's a good way for the Auburn fans up north to get to see this Auburn basketball team in person, because, you know, it's certainly a tough ticket, a tough grab to catch them in Neville Arena.

1007
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:30,660
 And the thing is, Logan, that North Alabama area, particularly there in the city of Huntsville, it's rich with high school basketball talent, so it's never a bad thing to get up and make connections there.

1008
01:05:30,980 --> 01:05:45,960
 Your thoughts about year two, obviously the honeymoon's over, it's a, if we could go back and re-cue the show from last year, we were talking about Bruce Pearl's team coming in, and then we know what happened in the 11th hour, everything shifted, yeah, Coach Pearl was there, but it was Steven, not Bruce.

1009
01:05:46,500 --> 01:06:05,360
 We know there was a lot of on-the-job training last year, not a lot of time to learn and get acclimated to it right before this opening tip-off, but now the lessons have been learned, you've gone to the school of hard knocks, your thoughts just realistically about what Auburn basketball fans can see from year two of Steven Pearl.

1010
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:21,460
 Yeah, I mean, I think he learned a lot in his first year, and then obviously you're riding the momentum of an NIT championship into this season, you know, regardless of if it's an NIT championship or a NCAA championship, it was good to see nonetheless for that group.

1011
01:06:22,340 --> 01:06:34,400
 You know, obviously you have three returners, and the Hot Pettiford kind of headlines that group, I think you're going to, you know, he started off last season kind of shaky, but he really showed and progressed and came along towards the end of the year.

1012
01:06:34,500 --> 01:06:43,260
 I think he's going to pick up right where he left off, and that's huge, especially to pair with another guy like George Kimball, who, you know, we've talked about before, is a big defensive guy.

1013
01:06:44,380 --> 01:06:56,600
 He sat out medically redshirted last year at Vanderbilt, but off the top of my head, I believe it's Eastern Kentucky he was at, and prior to that, and he was averaging 18 points a game, and he's a defensive threat.

1014
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:06,100
 But I think the biggest thing for this Auburn team is that they added a lot of size, you know, down low, and they have some threats on the outside to score.

1015
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:19,520
 I actually saw a video that the Auburn media team put out on social media of Adam Olsen shooting the basketball and just to shoot around at practice, and he's got a really smooth stroke coming over from South Alabama.

1016
01:07:19,820 --> 01:07:26,300
 You know, he's going to be tabbed as one of the best three-point shooters, really, in the country, but in the SEC, nonetheless.

1017
01:07:27,220 --> 01:07:34,440
 I just think that you're going to see where Auburn struggled a little bit last year, maybe defensively and down low, scoring points in the paint.

1018
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:41,160
 I think you're going to see Auburn improve in those areas this year, and I think they're just going to be, overall, a more well-rounded group.

1019
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:52,140
 And then, obviously, you've got Stephen Pearl, who was thrown under the fire last year, and I think he's going to take a lot of lessons from a year ago and learn from those this year.

1020
01:07:52,140 --> 01:08:02,200
 I would certainly expect Auburn to, you know, make a little bit more noise in the SEC and then, obviously, make it into another NCAA tournament.

1021
01:08:02,780 --> 01:08:04,900
 Let me ask you about Auburn baseball.

1022
01:08:05,340 --> 01:08:08,980
 They did it the hard way, but they've advanced to the Super Regional.

1023
01:08:09,180 --> 01:08:12,820
 They're going to be hosting Ole Miss, who's a pretty good team.

1024
01:08:12,940 --> 01:08:14,760
 Mike Bianco has won the best coaches.

1025
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:19,640
 In fact, I think they're two of the best coaches in the nation in this series.

1026
01:08:20,380 --> 01:08:22,620
 Ole Miss doesn't do a lot of things fancy.

1027
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,020
 They basically wait for the three-run homer.

1028
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,700
 Their defense is very solid.

1029
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,400
 I think the best thing that they do is their pitching.

1030
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,940
 They've got an ERA of 4.40, which you think, well, that's not very good.

1031
01:08:37,020 --> 01:08:38,700
 Well, in the SEC it is.

1032
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,600
 But your thoughts.

1033
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,460
 I know one thing.

1034
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:50,420
 If Chase Fralick has about 13 more RBIs in the series, I think Auburn's got a good chance of winning it.

1035
01:08:50,420 --> 01:08:53,080
 But your thoughts, Ole Miss, at Auburn this weekend?

1036
01:08:54,140 --> 01:08:58,240
 Yeah, I think that this matchup really bodes well for Auburn.

1037
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:06,680
 I think that, you know, certainly you cannot overlook anyone, especially a team who's competed in the SEC like Ole Miss.

1038
01:09:06,820 --> 01:09:11,520
 But during postseason play, you're not counting, you know, you're not overlooking anyone.

1039
01:09:12,220 --> 01:09:17,460
 Ole Miss, you know, winners of the Lincoln Regional, they swept for the pair of wins over Arizona State

1040
01:09:17,460 --> 01:09:19,900
 and went over to Nebraska, sandwiched in there.

1041
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,720
 You know, you mentioned that the pitching staff, I think, is where, you know, is their bread and butter is where they make their money.

1042
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:32,680
 The reason I think that this matchup bodes well for Auburn is because if you get, you know,

1043
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:38,060
 what you got on the back end of the Regional from your pitchers and your arms with Andreas Alvarez,

1044
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:43,640
 Alex Petrovic really kind of kick-started the turnaround for the Auburn on the rubber last weekend.

1045
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,780
 You know, if you get what you got out of those guys in the latter half of the Regional,

1046
01:09:49,460 --> 01:09:50,920
 I like where this Auburn team sits.

1047
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,720
 I think that they'll be able to hold the Ole Miss, you know, offense at bay

1048
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:59,160
 and just get half the production that you got out of your office last week.

1049
01:09:59,860 --> 01:10:01,140
 And, again, I do.

1050
01:10:01,260 --> 01:10:03,940
 I think you're, you know, I think you're set.

1051
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:05,700
 I think that it's going to be another fun weekend.

1052
01:10:05,980 --> 01:10:07,540
 The weather looks a little bit better.

1053
01:10:08,500 --> 01:10:16,900
 You know, I think that Auburn, obviously, Monday night they set an attendance record of over 8,000 fans were in attendance.

1054
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:19,380
 So, you know, it was fun.

1055
01:10:19,580 --> 01:10:22,880
 I was not able to be there last weekend.

1056
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,100
 I had a scheduling conflict.

1057
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:30,940
 But, you know, I think that you could feel, Bush Thompson mentioned it, like he just felt a different connection.

1058
01:10:30,940 --> 01:10:35,280
 And you could kind of feel it over the television broadcasts.

1059
01:10:35,620 --> 01:10:39,320
 You know, the fan base really rallied behind those guys, and it was awesome to see.

1060
01:10:40,620 --> 01:10:47,920
 And, obviously, with the big soccer match coming up on Tuesday, I think Auburn's going to be a really crowded place this weekend.

1061
01:10:48,060 --> 01:10:51,660
 I think that you're going to see another, you know, attendance record broken this weekend.

1062
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,280
 But I do.

1063
01:10:53,420 --> 01:11:01,140
 I like Auburn's chances to potentially sweep, you know, and not even have to play Sunday against the Ole Miss team.

1064
01:11:02,140 --> 01:11:05,980
 With soccer coming in, some people on the planet will be speaking English this weekend, right?

1065
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,360
 So, that's all.

1066
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:08,260
 I mean, yeah.

1067
01:11:09,900 --> 01:11:15,000
 Somebody showed me the map that Auburn put out, and the tickets were coming from all over the country.

1068
01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:19,240
 So, there's going to be a lot of people in Auburn, Alabama this week.

1069
01:11:20,020 --> 01:11:21,820
 Talk to us about the intangibles.

1070
01:11:22,020 --> 01:11:26,880
 Obviously, I think it goes without saying, Auburn got the ultimate wake-up call.

1071
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:33,000
 I think down south, where I grew up, as always, the term was lollygagging in that first game against Milwaukee.

1072
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,180
 I think the lesson has been learned, don't you?

1073
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,080
 Yeah, you know, I think that it has.

1074
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:45,240
 I think that why I like this Ole Miss matchup is because you did it already.

1075
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:51,040
 You know, you went five straight weekends there to end the SEC season against top-ranked, top-ten-ranked teams.

1076
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:51,980
 Top-ten-ranked teams.

1077
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:52,920
 And you went and you won.

1078
01:11:53,740 --> 01:11:57,040
 And you reeled off five straight series wins in the SEC this year.

1079
01:11:57,300 --> 01:11:59,260
 So, you're comfortable playing at this level.

1080
01:12:00,260 --> 01:12:06,000
 You know, I'm not going to, again, I'm not going to say that they overlooked Milwaukee in that first game.

1081
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,140
 And I really, truthfully, have to tip my cap to Milwaukee.

1082
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,380
 They just played really well.

1083
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,260
 Obviously, Marciano and that staff probably weren't on their A game.

1084
01:12:14,660 --> 01:12:17,460
 But, I mean, Milwaukee swung the bat extremely well.

1085
01:12:17,620 --> 01:12:23,100
 And I was listening to, you know, another beat writer who was talking about it said, you know,

1086
01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:26,480
 I think that Auburn really lucked up in the way they lost.

1087
01:12:27,220 --> 01:12:31,260
 You know, you go down 10-0, you don't have to burn, you know, extra arms.

1088
01:12:31,340 --> 01:12:35,740
 You kind of hand it off to somebody else and see if you can reel off a win that way.

1089
01:12:35,740 --> 01:12:40,800
 But I don't see Auburn getting, you know, down in a 10-run hole against Ole Miss.

1090
01:12:40,900 --> 01:12:47,100
 I think that they learned their lesson this week and they don't want to put themselves in a position where they have to fight extra hard again to make it to Omaha.

1091
01:12:48,260 --> 01:12:50,600
 Yeah, and Ole Miss strikes out a lot, too.

1092
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,780
 That's one of their bugaboos with it.

1093
01:12:53,820 --> 01:12:55,040
 Let me ask you about recruiting.

1094
01:12:55,180 --> 01:13:00,060
 Auburn's taking a back seat to the big soccer match and then also baseball.

1095
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,440
 Auburn landed, I believe they're now at 14.

1096
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:10,780
 They landed a linebacker from Biger, four-star Isaac McNeil, 92 tackles last year.

1097
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:15,180
 Picked up three-star defensive back Aiden Wiggins from South Carolina.

1098
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:21,360
 And picked up another running back, three-star Kingston Miles from St. Louis.

1099
01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:24,160
 And we've got a long way to go with this, with the visits.

1100
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,540
 But Auburn doing pretty well right now as far as commitments.

1101
01:13:28,580 --> 01:13:29,220
 Oh, my goodness.

1102
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,680
 I couldn't even keep up with it this weekend.

1103
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:36,320
 With Alex Golesh tweeting out all the Eagles on Twitter, you know,

1104
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:42,540
 I think he got seven or eight Eagles just kind of hinting to the Auburn fan base what was to come.

1105
01:13:42,540 --> 01:13:45,040
 And he got five commitments over the weekend, like you mentioned.

1106
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,820
 Auburn's up to 14 now in the 20-27 class.

1107
01:13:48,020 --> 01:13:50,080
 And Isaac McNeil was the latest one.

1108
01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:52,640
 He was the fifth of the weekend.

1109
01:13:53,220 --> 01:13:55,480
 And after his commitment, they bumped up into the top 20.

1110
01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:00,420
 They got up to number 17, but back down to 19 now according to 247 Sports.

1111
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,140
 He was probably, I guess, the headliner of the weekend.

1112
01:14:03,780 --> 01:14:07,320
 He's now your second-highest-ranked commit in the class, number six linebacker

1113
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,400
 and second-ranked player in Alabama, a top 100 commit.

1114
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:20,160
 You mentioned Aiden Wiggins, Noah Ash, a kicker, who 247 Sports has ranked as the second-ranked kicker,

1115
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:26,620
 who, you know, after studying up on special teams, coach Jacob Bernowski way back when he was hired,

1116
01:14:27,020 --> 01:14:29,160
 if he likes him, then Auburn fans should like him.

1117
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:36,200
 So I think this is a big pickup, especially with Alex McPherson probably out if he has a good season.

1118
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,080
 You add another running back, Kingston Miles, like you said,

1119
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:43,620
 and I think that's a sign of things to come with how Auburn and this new staff really wants to run the football.

1120
01:14:44,820 --> 01:14:49,080
 But, yeah, we talked about the momentum that would stem from Big Cat and, you know,

1121
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:51,700
 how this staff really wanted to build relationships in the southeast.

1122
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,760
 And the summer months are always big for recruiting.

1123
01:14:55,020 --> 01:14:59,940
 And, you know, nowadays you're starting to see where recruits will jump on board before the season starts,

1124
01:14:59,940 --> 01:15:03,640
 and maybe recruiting starts dwindling down a little bit during the season.

1125
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:09,160
 Obviously, you still have visits, and it's still a priority, but we're kind of starting to see the trend of early commitments.

1126
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,860
 Now, obviously, the task is you have to hold on to them until National Signing Day.

1127
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:17,300
 But all in all, I do really like how this class is coming together,

1128
01:15:17,380 --> 01:15:21,320
 and I think that Alex Golesh and his staff are going to continue to hit the trail really hard.

1129
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:26,500
 Logan, and I think a lot of folks are asking the question right now as far as total numbers.

1130
01:15:26,980 --> 01:15:31,760
 What's interesting is we see the rosters with the option in a way of expanding to, what, 105?

1131
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,260
 But some teams are saying, I'm only going to take a small class.

1132
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,280
 I'm only going to take 17, 18, 19.

1133
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,380
 I think that's what DeBoer's theory is across the state of Alabama.

1134
01:15:41,380 --> 01:15:46,020
 As far as numbers, what kind of size-wise are we looking at for this Auburn class?

1135
01:15:46,980 --> 01:15:51,420
 Yes, I don't have a number off the top of my head, necessarily.

1136
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:56,040
 You know, last year was certainly a smaller class in terms of high school recruiting.

1137
01:15:56,500 --> 01:15:59,560
 Obviously, he didn't have much time to reel in a big class.

1138
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:04,400
 I think you might see that number jump up to the 20 to 25 range this season,

1139
01:16:04,540 --> 01:16:06,780
 maybe take a little bit less off the portal.

1140
01:16:07,500 --> 01:16:12,480
 You know, he did mention in his opening presser that he does kind of want to build this thing

1141
01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:13,440
 through the high school ranks.

1142
01:16:13,620 --> 01:16:18,320
 So, I think you're going to see the final class number end up between 20 to 25.

1143
01:16:19,180 --> 01:16:20,040
 Yeah, absolutely.

1144
01:16:20,340 --> 01:16:21,420
 Well, listen, great stuff.

1145
01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:26,200
 A lot of stuff going on down there, certainly recruiting behind the scenes.

1146
01:16:26,300 --> 01:16:28,400
 But the big soccer match Tuesday, you're right.

1147
01:16:28,460 --> 01:16:31,100
 I bet you can't get around down there Monday and Tuesday,

1148
01:16:31,700 --> 01:16:33,700
 much less over the weekend for baseball.

1149
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,380
 Logan, where can we get online to get all your good stuff, bud?

1150
01:16:38,140 --> 01:16:38,740
 Yes, sir.

 You can catch me over at 1819news.com and on Exit, Logan F. Fowler.

1152
01:16:44,380 --> 01:16:45,900
 I was joking with somebody yesterday.

1153
01:16:46,020 --> 01:16:48,940
 It's a good thing that Auburn got the Friday, Saturday, Sunday series,

1154
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,000
 because if they would have had that Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

1155
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,980
 that's four straight days of just chaos in downtown Auburn.

1156
01:16:58,660 --> 01:17:00,340
 Hey, buckle up, stay safe.

1157
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,840

 Tonight, it's game two of the Stanley Cup Finals

1260
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,520
 as the Hurricanes host the Golden Knights.

1261
01:21:06,660 --> 01:21:08,720
 Las Vegas won game number one

 to take the series advantage.

1263
01:21:11,460 --> 01:21:13,160
 The Atlanta Braves were winners yesterday

1264
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,940
 at Truist Park as the Braves beat the Blue Jays 7-3.

1265
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,380
 The two teams combined for 17 hits.

1266
01:21:18,700 --> 01:21:20,500
 In the ballgame, Grant Holmes, the winning pitcher,

1267

 Welcome back in.

1298
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:50,600
 Really appreciate it.

1299
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:51,960
 We ride around the Tennessee Valley.

1300
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:53,540
 Coming up just around the corner,

1301
01:22:53,660 --> 01:22:55,540
 I'm going to be taking you down to Tuscaloosa

1302
01:22:55,540 --> 01:22:56,240
 and get the beer later.

1303
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,680
 Just tied talk with the one, the only, Ryan Fowler.

1304
01:22:58,780 --> 01:23:01,640
 But BB, obviously, very interesting time on the calendar.

1305
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:02,720
 It's always been.

1306
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,720
 But 2026 compared to 2016-10 years ago.

1307
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,460
 Very interesting scenario as far as the recruiting rankings.

1308
01:23:10,460 --> 01:23:12,640
 I don't know how much stock we put into it.

1309
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,640
 We were joking earlier about Bama fans have crossed paths.

1310
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:16,700
 It was a big one yesterday.

1311
01:23:16,900 --> 01:23:20,380
 Very cautious right now about where this class is.

1312
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:23,160
 We got done talking to our friend, Ryan Callahan.

1313
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,620
 Tennessee fans very cautious about where things are right now.

1314
01:23:26,740 --> 01:23:29,280
 But to give you a perspective, and that's all it is,

1315
01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:31,180
 it's still early in the process.

1316
01:23:31,340 --> 01:23:34,440
 Basically, it's six months away from that really in turn

1317
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:35,920
 of the only signing day that comes up,

1318
01:23:35,980 --> 01:23:37,940
 and that's that first Wednesday in December.

1319
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,820
 But right now, USC is at the head of the class, BB.

1320
01:23:41,940 --> 01:23:43,000
 No surprise there.

1321
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,200
 They got the brand and all that good stuff.

1322
01:23:45,340 --> 01:23:46,900
 Notre Dame, how about that?

1323
01:23:46,940 --> 01:23:47,900
 They're number two.

1324
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:49,200
 Ohio State, three.

1325
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:50,120
 Oregon, four.

1326
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:53,120
 This is, by the way, according to on3.com,

1327
01:23:53,220 --> 01:23:55,300
 kind of the composite rankings, if you will.

1328
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,460
 The top-rated team in the SEC right now,

1329
01:24:00,180 --> 01:24:03,280
 Bill Shanks, is number five, Georgia.

1330
01:24:03,980 --> 01:24:07,320
 Bill Shanks, the number six team on the rankings right now,

1331
01:24:07,380 --> 01:24:08,580
 is Alabama.

1332
01:24:08,900 --> 01:24:11,700
 So if you're number six the first weekend

1333
01:24:11,700 --> 01:24:13,240
 or first week of June, BB,

1334
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,620
 I don't necessarily see where the angst is,

1335
01:24:15,780 --> 01:24:16,880
 especially in this modern era.

1336
01:24:17,260 --> 01:24:19,360
 By the way, Bill Shanks has been listening

1337
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,720
 to this show to steal some content.

1338
01:24:21,980 --> 01:24:22,680
 Hi, Bill.

1339
01:24:22,780 --> 01:24:23,440
 How are you, bud?

1340
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,100
 Just text me a few minutes ago.

1341
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:28,640
 Again, it's still very early.

1342
01:24:28,780 --> 01:24:30,360
 We'll know a lot more about this.

1343
01:24:30,460 --> 01:24:32,480
 Again, I know the signing date, Harold,

1344
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,140
 is officially the first Wednesday in December.

1345
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,860
 The unofficial signing date right now is August 1st

1346
01:24:39,860 --> 01:24:41,380
 because that's what has happened

1347
01:24:41,380 --> 01:24:42,780
 the last two or three years.

1348
01:24:42,780 --> 01:24:46,780
 The recruiting calendar is really

1349
01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:49,140
 a little bit fluid right now.

1350
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,700
 But it's really changed to a point to where

1351
01:24:51,700 --> 01:24:53,580
 most of these guys take their visits

1352
01:24:53,580 --> 01:24:55,620
 through mid-July.

1353
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,260
 And then they sit down with their families

1354
01:24:58,260 --> 01:25:01,280
 and go through their pro and con list,

1355
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,000
 as we discussed a little bit yesterday.

1356
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,560
 And then they make a decision

1357
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:08,320
 a couple weeks before summer camp begins

1358
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,500
 for high school for their senior year.

1359
01:25:12,220 --> 01:25:16,420
 And again, Alabama is going to have a smaller clash.

1360
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,180
 Now, I'll say this.

1361
01:25:18,260 --> 01:25:20,680
 Alabama's next commitment is probably going to be

1362
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:24,640
 Tay Phillips, a running back from Columbia, South Carolina.

1363
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:29,200
 He's 5'11", 180, ran for 900 yards as a junior.

1364
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,740
 He's going to announce his commitment June the 8th,

1365
01:25:32,740 --> 01:25:35,620
 later this week, and has, ironically,

1366
01:25:35,620 --> 01:25:40,080
 an official visit to Alabama the next weekend.

1367
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:41,780
 So I think we're going to know.

1368
01:25:41,980 --> 01:25:44,240
 I knew Alabama was going to take two running backs.

1369
01:25:44,380 --> 01:25:46,500
 Ron Yor mentioned this yesterday.

1370
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,000
 But yeah, the recruiting rankings right now

1371
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,040
 are going to continue to be very fluid.

1372
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,520
 That sound that you're hearing,

1373
01:25:53,660 --> 01:25:54,860
 what about Auburn?

1374
01:25:54,940 --> 01:25:56,840
 Right now, they've had a flurry, BB.

1375
01:25:57,500 --> 01:25:59,140
 And here's what's ironic about it.

1376
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,540
 As we just got done talking there with Logan Fowler,

1377
01:26:01,620 --> 01:26:02,640
 they've had a big flurry.

1378
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:07,600
 Yet, On3.com still has them at 42nd overall right now.

1379
01:26:08,060 --> 01:26:10,340
 Well, some of that is, Harold,

1380
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,940
 they've signed a lot of four stars.

1381
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,140
 But Auburn is going to have a very good class.

1382
01:26:17,260 --> 01:26:18,800
 I think Auburn ends up somewhere,

1383
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,320
 as Logan said,

1384
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,900
 I think they're going to be somewhere between 20 and 25.

1385
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,740
 They're going to sign more than Alabama.

1386
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:31,560
 He wanted to come in and make a point of this.

1387
01:26:31,660 --> 01:26:33,580
 But I mentioned these guys a little bit earlier.

1388
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,080
 Isaac McNeil from Vigal.

1389
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,740
 Vigal, four-star linebacker.

1390
01:26:40,260 --> 01:26:41,800
 It may be the cream of the class

1391
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,540
 of what they've signed the last couple of weeks.

1392
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:48,400
 Three-star defensive back Aiden Wiggins from South Carolina

1393
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,580
 was over his 13th commitment.

1394
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:52,820
 And then they've also got another reigning back

1395
01:26:52,820 --> 01:26:54,660
 from Kingston Miles from St. Louis.

1396
01:26:55,740 --> 01:26:56,980
 You mentioned three-stars, BB.

1397
01:26:57,180 --> 01:27:00,140
 Your message to fans who are up in arms right now,

1398
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,080
 why are they signing all those three-stars?

1399
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:03,600
 To me, it's a matter of budget.

1400
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,460
 They're trying to get a bargain basement value

1401
01:27:06,460 --> 01:27:07,980
 to supplement those five-stars

1402
01:27:07,980 --> 01:27:09,040
 as opposed to your days

1403
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:10,680
 when they just want to load up on four and fives.

1404
01:27:10,780 --> 01:27:12,320
 Now, it's about meeting your budget

1405
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:13,640
 and trying to get a steal out there.

1406
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:15,300
 Yes, absolutely.

1407
01:27:15,900 --> 01:27:16,680
 So, coming up,

1408
01:27:16,700 --> 01:27:17,940
 we're going to be giving you the beer of the latest.

1409
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:18,600
 It's early,

1410
01:27:18,700 --> 01:27:20,720
 so just go ahead and get off the panic button right now.

1411
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,000
 Later on, I'm going to be talking about

1412
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,200
 Bill Shanks' favorite team,

1413
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:25,520
 the Atlanta Braves.

1414
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:26,580
 But first,

1415
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:27,440
 is Bill Shanks,

1416
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:29,960
 is he big on the French Open

1417
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,380
 or French fries, BB?

1418
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,020
 Probably French fries,

1419
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:34,040
 knowing Bill Shanks.

1420
01:27:34,340 --> 01:27:35,840
 Well, we don't have any French fries,

1421
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:37,760
 but we do have the latest from the French Open,

1422
01:27:37,900 --> 01:27:38,620
 and it's straight ahead

1423
01:27:38,620 --> 01:27:39,700
 here on the Boom and Buck Show.

1424
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:40,680
 Stay with us.

 in this year's Women's French Open final in Paris.

1433
01:28:03,220 --> 01:28:05,420
 Eighth-seeded 19-year-old Mira Andreeva

1434
01:28:05,420 --> 01:28:07,880
 will take on 24-year-old Polish qualifier

1435
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:08,900
 Maya Walensky,

1436
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:10,980
 both winning in straight sets today.

1437
01:28:11,700 --> 01:28:14,200
 114th-ranked Walensky stunned 25th-seeded

1438
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,420
 Deanna Schneider 7'6-6-4,

1439
01:28:16,580 --> 01:28:18,920
 and Andreeva defeated 15th-seeded Ukrainian

1440
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:20,900
 Marta Kostiuk 6'1-6-3.

1441
01:28:21,340 --> 01:28:23,200
 Andreeva courtside after the match,

1442
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:24,180
 savoring the moment.

1443
01:28:24,660 --> 01:28:25,300
 It's amazing.

1444
01:28:25,420 --> 01:28:27,800
 I've never felt anything like this before,

1445
01:28:28,020 --> 01:28:30,320
 and I'm just very excited

1446
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,020
 about the last match here in Paris.

1447
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:36,700
 Andreeva and Walensky will play for the title Saturday,

1448
01:28:36,900 --> 01:28:38,420
 and the men's semis take place tomorrow.

1449
01:28:38,620 --> 01:28:40,420
 Sasha Zverev plays Yakov Menchik

1450
01:28:40,420 --> 01:28:43,280
 before Flavio Ciboli battles Matteo Arnaldi.

1451
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:44,380
 With this tennis update,

1452
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:45,500
 I'm Erika Herskowitz,

1453
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:46,740
 Westwood One Sports.

1454
01:28:51,060 --> 01:28:53,520
 Kohl's lowest prices of the season are here,

1455
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,280
 and suddenly checking the price feels thrilling.

1456
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:57,800
 Not scary thrilling,

1457
01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:58,580
 the good kind.

1458
01:28:58,940 --> 01:29:00,580
 The, wait, is that right kind?

1459
01:29:00,900 --> 01:29:02,280
 Summer styles, lower.

1460
01:29:02,660 --> 01:29:04,200
 Must-have appliances, lower.

1461
01:29:04,580 --> 01:29:06,460
 Bedding, fluffier and lower.

1462
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:08,460
 Yep, they're the kind of prices

1463
01:29:08,460 --> 01:29:09,560
 that make you look twice.

1464
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,040
 You know, for the rush.

1465
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:12,880

01:29:24,540 --> 01:29:26,200
 There's a new flavor in town,

01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,200
 the Jalapeno Ranch Club at Chick-fil-A.

1472
01:29:28,340 --> 01:29:29,800
 With that juicy Chick-fil-A

1473
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,460
 original spicy or grilled chicken,

1474
01:29:31,700 --> 01:29:32,740

1477
01:29:36,340 --> 01:29:37,760
 It's got big ranch vibes

1478
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:38,580
 with a little heat.

1479
01:29:43,180 --> 01:29:45,500

01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:47,120

 For adults with Crohn's disease

1483
01:29:51,700 --> 01:29:53,460
 or ulcerative colitis symptoms,

1484
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:55,200
 every choice matters.

1485
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,720
 Tremphaya offers self-injection

1486
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:00,280
 or intravenous infusion

1487
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:01,380
 from the start.

1488
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:03,260
 Tremphaya is administered

1489
01:30:03,260 --> 01:30:04,720

1490
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,300
 or infusions through a vein

 every four weeks,

1492
01:30:07,740 --> 01:30:09,400
 followed by injections under the skin

1493
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:10,820
 every four or eight weeks.

1494
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:12,200
 If your doctor decides

1495
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:13,720
 that you can self-inject Tremphaya,

1496
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,180
 proper training is required.

1497
01:30:15,620 --> 01:30:17,380
 Tremphaya is a prescription medicine

1498
01:30:17,380 --> 01:30:18,380
 used to treat adults

1499
01:30:18,380 --> 01:30:19,560

1500
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:20,600

1501
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:21,940

 ulcerative colitis.

1504
01:30:24,220 --> 01:30:25,580
 Serious allergic reactions,

1505
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:27,240
 increased risk of infections

1506
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:28,900
 or lower ability to fight them

1507
01:30:28,900 --> 01:30:30,420
 and liver problems may occur.

1508
01:30:30,660 --> 01:30:31,360
 Before treatment,

1509
01:30:31,540 --> 01:30:32,640
 get checked for infections

1510
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:33,620
 and tuberculosis.

1511
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:34,640
 Tell your doctor

1512
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:35,700
 if you have an infection,

1513
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:36,800
 flu-like symptoms

1514
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:37,840
 or need a vaccine.

1528
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:55,840
 The team's looking good this season.

1529
01:30:55,980 --> 01:30:56,620
 I think so.

1530
01:30:56,860 --> 01:30:58,140
 Man, I miss playing football.

1531
01:30:58,380 --> 01:30:59,360
 Ever since I turned 40,

1532
01:30:59,620 --> 01:31:00,720
 I just can't find that fire

1533
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:01,300
 I used to have.

1534
01:31:01,460 --> 01:31:02,520
 Think it could be lower testosterone?

1535
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:03,160
 What do you mean?

1536
01:31:03,260 --> 01:31:04,260
 I was feeling the same way.

1537
01:31:04,260 --> 01:31:04,860
 After 40,

1538
01:31:04,940 --> 01:31:06,020
 the body has less testosterone

1539
01:31:06,020 --> 01:31:07,080
 and men lose their edge.

1540
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:07,740
 That's why I take

1541
01:31:07,740 --> 01:31:08,840
 Nugenics Total T2.

1542
01:31:08,940 --> 01:31:10,320
 That's the testosterone booster, right?

1543
01:31:10,420 --> 01:31:11,360
 Yes, but Total T2

1544
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:12,380
 is their brand new formula

1545
01:31:12,380 --> 01:31:13,220
 that skyrockets

1546
01:31:13,220 --> 01:31:14,100
 nitric oxide levels

1547
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:15,280
 in as little as three hours.

1548
01:31:15,460 --> 01:31:16,360
 Since I started taking it,

1549
01:31:16,460 --> 01:31:16,960
 I've been lifting

1550
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:17,500
 like when we played

1551
01:31:17,500 --> 01:31:18,080
 for Coach Carter.

1552
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:19,340
 My energy is way up

1553
01:31:19,340 --> 01:31:20,200
 and it even spiced up

1554
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:20,780
 things between me

1555
01:31:20,780 --> 01:31:21,280
 and the missus.

1556
01:31:21,340 --> 01:31:22,020
 Are they still giving out

1557
01:31:22,020 --> 01:31:22,760
 complimentary bottles?

1558
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:23,920

 well,

1600
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:23,640
 trying to find a needle

1601
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:24,280
 in a haystack,

1602
01:32:24,460 --> 01:32:25,840

1650
01:33:27,300 --> 01:33:27,980
 Take him back in.

1651
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:29,460
 He is the hardest working man.

1652
01:33:29,540 --> 01:33:30,320
 I don't care

1653
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:31,240
 if he is home

1654
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:32,140
 in Tuscaloosa

1655
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:33,740
 or kicking up the sand

1656
01:33:33,740 --> 01:33:35,580
 at Sandest.

1657
01:33:35,660 --> 01:33:36,660
 Would you totally agree

1658
01:33:36,660 --> 01:33:37,280
 with that, Bibi?

1659
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:38,260
 I would totally agree

1660
01:33:38,260 --> 01:33:38,980
 with it, yes.

1661
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,540
 Ryan Fowler's always busy

1662
01:33:41,540 --> 01:33:42,400
 on top of the ball there.

1665
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:45,500
 Ryan, welcome in.

1666
01:33:45,580 --> 01:33:46,380
 How are you?

1667
01:33:47,060 --> 01:33:47,560
 Hey, it's good

1668
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:48,120
 to be home with you.

1669
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:48,460
 Hey, buddy.

1670
01:33:48,480 --> 01:33:48,900
 Hope you guys

1671
01:33:48,900 --> 01:33:49,700
 are having a good day.

1672
01:33:50,140 --> 01:33:51,520
 So far, so good.

1673
01:33:51,700 --> 01:33:51,940
 Yeah.

1674
01:33:53,060 --> 01:33:53,760
 Are you ready

1675
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:54,660
 for a little baseball?

1676
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:55,940
 Super regionals, Ryan?

1677
01:33:56,020 --> 01:33:57,180
 First time we've been able

1678
01:33:57,180 --> 01:33:58,620
 to say this a long time.

1679
01:33:58,720 --> 01:33:59,460
 Are you getting ready

1680
01:33:59,460 --> 01:34:00,580
 for some super action

1681
01:34:00,580 --> 01:34:01,180
 on the diamonds

1682
01:34:01,180 --> 01:34:01,780
 in your backyard

1683
01:34:01,780 --> 01:34:02,380
 this weekend?

1684
01:34:03,300 --> 01:34:04,100
 Well, we are.

1685
01:34:04,220 --> 01:34:04,680
 We are,

1686
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,460
 and I'm actually

1687
01:34:05,460 --> 01:34:06,380
 on campus now,

1688
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:07,140
 so I'm fixing to be

1689
01:34:07,140 --> 01:34:07,680
 leaving ahead

1690
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:08,400
 of the radio station

1691
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:09,200
 here in a couple seconds.

1692
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:11,680
 But, and...

1693
01:34:12,380 --> 01:34:15,260
 Sorry, I was leaving

1694
01:34:15,260 --> 01:34:16,420
 a place of business

1695
01:34:16,420 --> 01:34:17,880
 my spot by bad.

1696
01:34:17,980 --> 01:34:19,420
 But no, it's...

1697
01:34:19,420 --> 01:34:21,080
 Campus is really buzzing.

1698
01:34:21,260 --> 01:34:21,940
 Obviously, they've had

1699
01:34:21,940 --> 01:34:23,340
 a big push

1700
01:34:23,340 --> 01:34:25,200
 for the attendance

1701
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:25,980
 this weekend.

1702
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:26,800
 Super regionals

1703
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,420
 should be pretty big.

1704
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:29,860
 And, you know,

1705
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:30,520
 I think when you

1706
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:31,760
 look at it

1707
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:32,280
 and you think

1708
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:32,980
 about the energy

1709
01:34:32,980 --> 01:34:33,460
 and you think

1710
01:34:33,460 --> 01:34:34,200
 about Greg Byrne

1711
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:34,740
 coming off the

1712
01:34:34,740 --> 01:34:35,640
 College World Series

1713
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,640
 and Alabama softball

1714
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:38,320
 grabbing a lot

1715
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:38,900
 of attention,

1716
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:40,320
 rightfully so.

1717
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:41,640
 And then you look

1718
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:42,480
 at Alabama baseball,

1719
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:43,260
 you know,

1720
01:34:43,300 --> 01:34:44,520
 these spring sports

1721
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:45,340
 are really clicking.

1722
01:34:45,620 --> 01:34:46,020
 And I think

1723
01:34:46,020 --> 01:34:47,260
 it's a credit

1724
01:34:47,260 --> 01:34:48,200
 back to Greg Byrne

1725
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:49,240
 of what he's

1726
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:50,060
 been able to create

1727
01:34:50,060 --> 01:34:51,100
 and being able

1728
01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:51,720
 to manage it

1729
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:52,380
 during a very

1730
01:34:52,380 --> 01:34:53,680
 challenging time.

1731
01:34:54,940 --> 01:34:56,020
 It's, you know,

1732
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:57,860
 it's a unique world

1733
01:34:57,860 --> 01:34:58,860
 that we live in.

1734
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,200
 And Alabama's

1735
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:02,800
 been able to manage

1736
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:03,540
 it, you know,

1737
01:35:03,620 --> 01:35:04,460
 quite successful.

1738
01:35:04,660 --> 01:35:05,600
 I mean, this is...

1739
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:06,200
 I guess you'd have

1740
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:07,300
 to go back to 2012,

1741
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:08,500
 the last time

1742
01:35:08,500 --> 01:35:10,340
 that you saw

1743
01:35:10,340 --> 01:35:11,280
 a program.

1744
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:12,380
 You know,

1745
01:35:12,380 --> 01:35:12,760
 they'd won

1746
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:13,700
 the golf championship

1747
01:35:13,700 --> 01:35:14,820
 and won the

1748
01:35:14,820 --> 01:35:15,700
 softball championship.

1749
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:16,540
 Obviously, football

1750
01:35:16,540 --> 01:35:17,380
 had won that year

1751
01:35:17,380 --> 01:35:17,860
 as well.

1752
01:35:18,440 --> 01:35:19,280
 That was a successful

1753
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:19,560
 year.

1754
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:19,880
 But, I mean,

1755
01:35:19,940 --> 01:35:21,100
 up until that point,

1756
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:23,820
 I mean,

1757
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,020
 it was...

1758
01:35:25,020 --> 01:35:25,320
 I mean,

1759
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,080
 this is a successful

1760
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:27,340
 year.

1761
01:35:27,420 --> 01:35:27,560
 I mean,

1762
01:35:27,580 --> 01:35:28,320
 I can't think of

1763
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:28,980
 another year

1764
01:35:28,980 --> 01:35:29,700
 that matches

1765
01:35:29,700 --> 01:35:30,900
 the things

1766
01:35:30,900 --> 01:35:31,800
 that they've had,

1767
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:33,000
 whether it's been

1768
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:33,620
 basketball,

1769
01:35:33,780 --> 01:35:34,620
 women's basketball,

1770
01:35:34,820 --> 01:35:35,640
 track and field,

1771
01:35:36,220 --> 01:35:37,080
 finished second

1772
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:37,640
 in the SEC.

1773
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:39,180
 So, it's a

1774
01:35:39,180 --> 01:35:40,280
 difficult time,

1775
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:41,060
 but I'm glad

1776
01:35:41,060 --> 01:35:41,660
 we've got an AD

1777
01:35:41,660 --> 01:35:42,460
 that can navigate

1778
01:35:42,460 --> 01:35:42,920
 some of these

1779
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:43,800
 challenging waters.

1780
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:44,960
 There's something

1781
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:45,600
 else that you've

1782
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:46,320
 got to throw in there,

1783
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:47,800
 and that's Coach Vaughn

1784
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:48,640
 and Coach Murphy.

1785
01:35:48,780 --> 01:35:50,020
 They're able to do it

1786
01:35:50,020 --> 01:35:51,360
 by comparison

1787
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:52,180
 with the restricted

1788
01:35:52,180 --> 01:35:52,660
 budgets.

1789
01:35:52,780 --> 01:35:53,360
 You look at some

1790
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:54,160
 of the competition,

1791
01:35:54,380 --> 01:35:54,940
 you look at their

1792
01:35:54,940 --> 01:35:55,340
 payroll,

1793
01:35:55,440 --> 01:35:56,060
 you look at their

1794
01:35:56,060 --> 01:35:56,700
 payroll from the

1795
01:35:56,700 --> 01:35:57,460
 NIL proper,

1796
01:35:58,000 --> 01:35:59,040
 and they are able

1797
01:35:59,040 --> 01:35:59,580
 to squeeze

1798
01:35:59,580 --> 01:36:00,780
 every bit of juice,

1799
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:02,560
 and even as much

1800
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:03,300
 as anything else.

1801
01:36:03,460 --> 01:36:04,000
 You look at,

1802
01:36:04,420 --> 01:36:05,780
 and I know we don't

1803
01:36:05,780 --> 01:36:06,620
 sometimes invoke

1804
01:36:06,620 --> 01:36:07,000
 both,

1805
01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:08,340
 but Alabama and Auburn,

1806
01:36:08,460 --> 01:36:09,280
 unless things have

1807
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:10,200
 changed in Montgomery,

1808
01:36:10,740 --> 01:36:11,180
 they don't have

1809
01:36:11,180 --> 01:36:11,740
 the benefits

1810
01:36:11,740 --> 01:36:12,600
 of these other states

1811
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:13,180
 for the lottery,

1812
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:14,220
 like Georgia,

1813
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:14,880
 like Mississippi,

1814
01:36:15,060 --> 01:36:15,420
 and some of these

1815
01:36:15,420 --> 01:36:16,180
 surrounding states

1816
01:36:16,180 --> 01:36:16,760
 in the SEC.

1817
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:18,460
 Yeah, but I think

1818
01:36:18,460 --> 01:36:19,500
 NIL has helped

1819
01:36:19,500 --> 01:36:20,240
 that some,

1820
01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:21,120
 because you can

1821
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:22,040
 balance that out.

1822
01:36:22,660 --> 01:36:22,820
 You know,

1823
01:36:22,860 --> 01:36:23,340
 if you've got

1824
01:36:23,340 --> 01:36:24,000
 funding,

1825
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:25,340
 you know,

1826
01:36:25,380 --> 01:36:25,720
 I'm not saying

1827
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:26,580
 Alabama's doing this,

1828
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:27,280
 not saying Auburn's

1829
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:27,580
 doing this,

1830
01:36:27,580 --> 01:36:28,060
 but some of these

1831
01:36:28,060 --> 01:36:28,660
 states that don't

1832
01:36:28,660 --> 01:36:29,440
 have the in-state

1833
01:36:29,440 --> 01:36:29,900
 lottery,

1834
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:31,660
 the NIL can actually

1835
01:36:31,660 --> 01:36:32,660
 be an equalizer.

1836
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:33,660
 Now, it can also

1837
01:36:33,660 --> 01:36:34,560
 be a separator

1838
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:35,620
 if you've got a

1839
01:36:35,620 --> 01:36:37,200
 program like LSU

1840
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:38,740
 who can do the state

1841
01:36:38,740 --> 01:36:40,380
 scholarships and fund

1842
01:36:40,380 --> 01:36:40,960
 NIL,

1843
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:42,240
 but it can give you,

1844
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:43,280
 you can go beyond

1845
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:44,880
 11.7 now,

1846
01:36:45,440 --> 01:36:46,160
 you know,

1847
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:46,700
 because you can do

1848
01:36:46,700 --> 01:36:47,780
 the NIL scholarships.

1849
01:36:48,220 --> 01:36:48,540
 And so,

1850
01:36:48,940 --> 01:36:49,120
 well,

1851
01:36:49,180 --> 01:36:49,780
 you can offer them

1852
01:36:49,780 --> 01:36:50,200
 cash,

1853
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:50,700
 and then they can

1854
01:36:50,700 --> 01:36:51,720
 go pay the tuition

1855
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:52,220
 themselves.

1856
01:36:52,480 --> 01:36:52,640
 So,

1857
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:53,680
 you know,

1858
01:36:53,740 --> 01:36:54,840
 you look at a guy

1859
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:55,660
 like Justin LeBron,

1860
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:56,900
 I would imagine,

1861
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:57,700
 you know,

1862
01:36:57,740 --> 01:36:58,380
 he's taking up

1863
01:36:58,380 --> 01:36:59,660
 a scholarship.

1864
01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:00,380
 He's probably getting

1865
01:37:00,380 --> 01:37:01,480
 a lot of NIL as well,

1866
01:37:01,580 --> 01:37:02,120
 but it,

1867
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:03,560
 you know,

1868
01:37:03,580 --> 01:37:04,000
 when you look at

1869
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:04,520
 Rob Vaughn

1870
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:05,980
 building a program

1871
01:37:05,980 --> 01:37:06,580
 at Maryland,

1872
01:37:07,060 --> 01:37:07,680
 you know,

1873
01:37:07,740 --> 01:37:08,320
 recruiting,

1874
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:09,740
 he's been able

1875
01:37:09,740 --> 01:37:10,980
 to develop a program.

1876
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:12,600
 This is something

1877
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:13,520
 that they need.

1878
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:14,540
 If they can find a way

1879
01:37:14,540 --> 01:37:15,180
 to get to Omaha

1880
01:37:15,180 --> 01:37:17,380
 and get through,

1881
01:37:17,700 --> 01:37:18,380
 this would be

1882
01:37:18,380 --> 01:37:19,220
 a re-energize.

1883
01:37:19,340 --> 01:37:19,420
 You know,

1884
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:19,900
 you guys,

1885
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:21,520
 you look back

1886
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:22,860
 in the early 2000s

1887
01:37:22,860 --> 01:37:23,460
 when Wells

1888
01:37:23,460 --> 01:37:24,180
 had it clicking.

1889
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:25,940
 You could go

1890
01:37:25,940 --> 01:37:26,740
 and it was

1891
01:37:26,740 --> 01:37:27,380
 standing room only.

1892
01:37:27,480 --> 01:37:28,720
 And I try to tell stories

1893
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,340
 that you couldn't get

1894
01:37:30,340 --> 01:37:31,020
 tickets to Alabama

1895
01:37:31,020 --> 01:37:31,400
 baseball.

1896
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:31,940
 And people are like,

1897
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:32,600
 there's no way.

1898
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:33,540
 Because now you can

1899
01:37:33,540 --> 01:37:34,220
 throw a hand grenade

1900
01:37:34,220 --> 01:37:34,800
 out there,

1901
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:36,240
 even for last week's

1902
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:36,540
 regional,

1903
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:37,840
 and the chances are

1904
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:38,580
 you may not hit anybody.

1905
01:37:39,860 --> 01:37:40,720
 But now,

1906
01:37:40,940 --> 01:37:41,860
 with this program,

1907
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:43,000
 where it is now,

1908
01:37:43,700 --> 01:37:44,820
 and if they can find

1909
01:37:44,820 --> 01:37:45,660
 a way to get to Omaha,

1910
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:47,180
 it will bring

1911
01:37:47,180 --> 01:37:48,620
 some of those fans back

1912
01:37:48,620 --> 01:37:49,700
 who had left

1913
01:37:49,700 --> 01:37:50,260
 the program.

1914
01:37:50,580 --> 01:37:50,660
 Because,

1915
01:37:51,020 --> 01:37:51,800
 and I almost wonder

1916
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:52,960
 sometimes if softball

1917
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:54,460
 didn't pull any

1918
01:37:54,460 --> 01:37:55,240
 of those fans,

1919
01:37:55,340 --> 01:37:56,520
 because Alabama fans,

1920
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:57,600
 you know,

1921
01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:58,620
 they have a lot of pride.

1922
01:37:58,960 --> 01:37:59,440
 They don't want to

1923
01:37:59,440 --> 01:38:00,780
 support a losing program.

1924
01:38:00,900 --> 01:38:01,600
 And Alabama baseball

1925
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:02,060
 had been through

1926
01:38:02,060 --> 01:38:03,020
 some pretty rough years.

1927
01:38:03,440 --> 01:38:04,160
 And I think Alabama

1928
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:05,860
 softball had captured

1929
01:38:05,860 --> 01:38:06,760
 some of those fans.

1930
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:08,180
 And really,

1931
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:09,180
 softball is an

1932
01:38:09,180 --> 01:38:11,080
 entertaining sport.

1933
01:38:11,300 --> 01:38:11,400
 You know,

1934
01:38:11,460 --> 01:38:12,840
 baseball sometimes

1935
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:13,400
 I don't think

1936
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:14,220
 matches up with

1937
01:38:14,220 --> 01:38:15,400
 the average

1938
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:16,680
 human attention span.

1939
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:17,980
 because when you look

1940
01:38:17,980 --> 01:38:18,540
 at the average

1941
01:38:18,540 --> 01:38:19,600
 human attention span,

1942
01:38:20,340 --> 01:38:20,920
 I feel like we've

1943
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:21,660
 been reduced.

1944
01:38:22,740 --> 01:38:22,820
 Yep.

1945
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:24,220
 And baseball's

1946
01:38:24,220 --> 01:38:25,620
 a slow-moving sport.

1947
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:27,400
 And softball's

1948
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:28,380
 that high-energy,

1949
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:29,360
 you know,

1950
01:38:29,420 --> 01:38:30,420
 they get in and out

1951
01:38:30,420 --> 01:38:31,900
 two hours and five minutes

1952
01:38:31,900 --> 01:38:32,500
 is done.

1953
01:38:33,660 --> 01:38:34,100
 Baseball,

1954
01:38:34,180 --> 01:38:34,840
 not so much.

1955
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:35,340
 And,

1956
01:38:35,420 --> 01:38:35,820
 you know,

1957
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:36,980
 it's kind of,

1958
01:38:37,180 --> 01:38:37,340
 you know,

1959
01:38:37,340 --> 01:38:38,020
 I described this

1960
01:38:38,020 --> 01:38:38,740
 earlier on the show.

1961
01:38:39,540 --> 01:38:40,380
 With softball,

1962
01:38:41,020 --> 01:38:42,200
 it kind of reminds you

1963
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:42,880
 a little bit of

1964
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:43,560
 banana ball.

1965
01:38:43,820 --> 01:38:43,980
 You know,

1966
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:45,060
 this trend that's

1967
01:38:45,060 --> 01:38:46,320
 going across the country

1968
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:47,600
 with that energy

1969
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:48,200
 and the,

1970
01:38:48,620 --> 01:38:48,980
 you know,

1971
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:50,460
 not that they're

1972
01:38:50,460 --> 01:38:51,320
 being disrespectful

1973
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:52,080
 to the game

1974
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:52,820
 and they're not doing

1975
01:38:52,820 --> 01:38:53,580
 some of those things,

1976
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:54,560
 but it's that high

1977
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:55,580
 level of energy

1978
01:38:55,580 --> 01:38:57,000
 that softball

1979
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,260
 has been able to work.

1980
01:38:58,680 --> 01:38:59,660
 But Rob Vaughn

1981
01:38:59,660 --> 01:39:00,640
 with a trip to Omaha

1982
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:02,340
 can recapture that

1983
01:39:02,340 --> 01:39:02,920
 in a hurry.

1984
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:04,240
 I agree with you.

1985
01:39:04,300 --> 01:39:04,880
 Jim Wells

1986
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:06,080
 dominated

1987
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:07,720
 college baseball

1988
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:09,400
 in the late 90s.

1989
01:39:09,540 --> 01:39:10,780
 Nick Saban

1990
01:39:10,780 --> 01:39:11,960
 testified

1991
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,420
 in front of the

1992
01:39:13,420 --> 01:39:14,440
 Senate Commerce Committee

1993
01:39:14,440 --> 01:39:15,060
 yesterday

1994
01:39:15,060 --> 01:39:16,800
 on behalf of the

1995
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:18,360
 Protect College Sports Act

1996
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:19,300
 talked about a lot

1997
01:39:19,300 --> 01:39:19,860
 of things.

1998
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:20,980
 One more interesting

1999
01:39:20,980 --> 01:39:22,660
 how Alabama's NL

2000
01:39:22,660 --> 01:39:23,900
 gradually

2001
01:39:23,900 --> 01:39:25,340
 increased

2002
01:39:25,340 --> 01:39:26,320
 and escalated

2003
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:27,340
 for years

2004
01:39:27,340 --> 01:39:28,820
 certainly after

2005
01:39:28,820 --> 01:39:29,620
 he left.

2006
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:30,780
 But there was

2007
01:39:30,780 --> 01:39:31,800
 a lot of blowback

2008
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:32,980
 on some of the comments

2009
01:39:32,980 --> 01:39:33,860
 that he made

2010
01:39:33,860 --> 01:39:34,720
 and you had

2011
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:35,720
 one of the best tweets

2012
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:37,060
 I've seen all week long

2013
01:39:37,060 --> 01:39:38,640
 and I'll quote it here.

2014
01:39:39,220 --> 01:39:40,900
 The truth is

2015
01:39:40,900 --> 01:39:42,080
 many people

2016
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:42,820
 aren't upset

2017
01:39:42,820 --> 01:39:43,700
 because of what

2018
01:39:43,700 --> 01:39:45,140
 Nick Saban said.

2019
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:46,480
 They're upset

2020
01:39:46,480 --> 01:39:47,300
 because of what

2021
01:39:47,300 --> 01:39:48,400
 Nick Saban did.

2022
01:39:48,900 --> 01:39:50,080
 For 17 years

2023
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:50,980
 he dominated

2024
01:39:50,980 --> 01:39:51,940
 college football.

2025
01:39:52,500 --> 01:39:53,300
 That's the reason

2026
01:39:53,300 --> 01:39:53,980
 they're upset.

2027
01:39:55,260 --> 01:39:55,700
 Yeah,

2028
01:39:55,820 --> 01:39:57,020
 and this is the one area

2029
01:39:57,020 --> 01:39:58,180
 that they can get it back.

2030
01:39:58,700 --> 01:39:59,340
 And, you know,

2031
01:39:59,380 --> 01:40:00,000
 I noticed

2032
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,740
 a lot of people

2033
01:40:01,740 --> 01:40:02,420
 that follow me

2034
01:40:02,420 --> 01:40:03,520
 from different fan bases

2035
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:04,760
 and the one rebuttal

2036
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:05,100
 is

2037
01:40:05,100 --> 01:40:05,980
 when you get

2038
01:40:05,980 --> 01:40:06,720
 your butt kicked

2039
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:08,060
 the only thing

2040
01:40:08,060 --> 01:40:08,800
 that you can counter

2041
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:09,500
 is Nick Saban

2042
01:40:09,500 --> 01:40:09,880
 cheated.

2043
01:40:10,260 --> 01:40:10,400
 Okay?

2044
01:40:11,060 --> 01:40:11,460
 Guys

2045
01:40:11,460 --> 01:40:14,080
 covering Nick Saban

2046
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:15,060
 for 17 years

2047
01:40:15,060 --> 01:40:15,780
 did he walk

2048
01:40:15,780 --> 01:40:16,620
 in the gray area?

2049
01:40:17,140 --> 01:40:17,320
 Yeah,

2050
01:40:17,540 --> 01:40:17,780
 yeah,

2051
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:18,220
 yeah,

2052
01:40:18,220 --> 01:40:19,020
 I'm sure he did.

2053
01:40:19,380 --> 01:40:20,260
 But if Alabama

2054
01:40:20,260 --> 01:40:20,940
 would have been

2055
01:40:20,940 --> 01:40:22,700
 this big cheating school

2056
01:40:22,700 --> 01:40:23,440
 where they were

2057
01:40:23,440 --> 01:40:24,400
 paying players

2058
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:25,380
 left and right

2059
01:40:25,380 --> 01:40:26,480
 all the time

2060
01:40:26,480 --> 01:40:27,660
 well there would have

2061
01:40:27,660 --> 01:40:28,160
 been no

2062
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:28,940
 there would have

2063
01:40:28,940 --> 01:40:29,720
 been no problem

2064
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:30,820
 of getting the NIL

2065
01:40:30,820 --> 01:40:31,400
 started

2066
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:32,720
 because they would

2067
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:33,360
 have just taken

2068
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:34,140
 that money

2069
01:40:34,140 --> 01:40:35,460
 and rolled over

2070
01:40:35,460 --> 01:40:36,580
 that slush fund

2071
01:40:36,580 --> 01:40:37,720
 into the collective.

2072
01:40:38,580 --> 01:40:38,680
 Yeah.

2073
01:40:39,300 --> 01:40:40,400
 They didn't do that.

2074
01:40:40,980 --> 01:40:41,940
 This collective

2075
01:40:41,940 --> 01:40:43,380
 if you remember now

2076
01:40:43,380 --> 01:40:44,300
 the collective

2077
01:40:44,300 --> 01:40:45,460
 failed twice

2078
01:40:45,460 --> 01:40:46,320
 prior to Yale,

2079
01:40:46,380 --> 01:40:46,760
 Alabama.

2080
01:40:47,380 --> 01:40:47,820
 It was called

2081
01:40:47,820 --> 01:40:48,260
 what was it

2082
01:40:48,260 --> 01:40:49,760
 High Tides Tradition

2083
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:50,360
 or something

2084
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:51,440
 and then there was

2085
01:40:51,440 --> 01:40:52,160
 another one

2086
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:52,940
 that it failed.

2087
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:53,420
 In other words

2088
01:40:53,420 --> 01:40:54,140
 they didn't have the money

2089
01:40:54,140 --> 01:40:54,840
 they didn't

2090
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:55,940
 they didn't

2091
01:40:55,940 --> 01:40:57,140
 so if this program

2092
01:40:57,140 --> 01:40:58,020
 because the rebuttal

2093
01:40:58,020 --> 01:40:58,500
 is always

2094
01:40:58,500 --> 01:40:59,380
 well Nick Saban

2095
01:40:59,380 --> 01:41:00,240
 cheated his way

2096
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:01,280
 to those championships

2097
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:01,960
 well that's just

2098
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:03,500
 because you don't

2099
01:41:03,500 --> 01:41:04,420
 have anything else

2100
01:41:04,420 --> 01:41:04,960
 to say

2101
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:06,380
 and you don't

2102
01:41:06,380 --> 01:41:06,720
 want to go

2103
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:07,140
 to the deep

2104
01:41:07,140 --> 01:41:07,600
 end of the pool

2105
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:08,160
 you want to stay

2106
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:08,600
 in the shallow

2107
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:09,060
 end of the pool

2108
01:41:09,060 --> 01:41:10,160
 because I saw

2109
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:11,180
 so many reporters

2110
01:41:11,180 --> 01:41:12,340
 come to Tuscaloosa

2111
01:41:12,340 --> 01:41:13,420
 national reporters

2112
01:41:13,420 --> 01:41:15,140
 trying to flip over

2113
01:41:15,140 --> 01:41:16,040
 stones to try

2114
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:16,580
 to create

2115
01:41:16,580 --> 01:41:17,680
 hey why did

2116
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:18,560
 why do these

2117
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:19,200
 players

2118
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:20,840
 afford Dodge

2119
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:21,540
 Challengers

2120
01:41:21,540 --> 01:41:22,280
 or Chargers

2121
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:23,140
 or whatever they are

2122
01:41:23,140 --> 01:41:23,840
 I mean those are

2123
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:24,740
 not very expensive

2124
01:41:24,740 --> 01:41:25,760
 vehicles okay

2125
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:27,500
 there is a cost

2126
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:28,060
 of attendance

2127
01:41:28,060 --> 01:41:28,620
 stipend

2128
01:41:28,620 --> 01:41:29,340
 there's a room

2129
01:41:29,340 --> 01:41:29,780
 and board

2130
01:41:29,780 --> 01:41:30,320
 stipend

2131
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:30,820
 there's a

2132
01:41:30,820 --> 01:41:31,340
 transportation

2133
01:41:31,340 --> 01:41:32,260
 stipend

2134
01:41:32,260 --> 01:41:32,880
 that's in

2135
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:33,840
 tuition

2136
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:34,440
 that every

2137
01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:35,180
 school gives

2138
01:41:35,180 --> 01:41:36,580
 it's not like

2139
01:41:36,580 --> 01:41:37,080
 your students

2140
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:37,600
 are expecting

2141
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:37,960
 to ride

2142
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:38,480
 bicycles

2143
01:41:38,480 --> 01:41:39,420
 but I just

2144
01:41:39,420 --> 01:41:39,980
 kept watching

2145
01:41:39,980 --> 01:41:40,360
 all these

2146
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:40,940
 different fan

2147
01:41:40,940 --> 01:41:41,320
 bases

2148
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:42,560
 chime in

2149
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:43,200
 talking about

2150
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:43,860
 well Nick Saban

2151
01:41:43,860 --> 01:41:44,360
 did this

2152
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:44,940
 Nick Saban

2153
01:41:44,940 --> 01:41:45,460
 did this

2154
01:41:45,460 --> 01:41:46,580
 well Nick Saban

2155
01:41:46,580 --> 01:41:47,140
 won a lot of

2156
01:41:47,140 --> 01:41:47,540
 games

2157
01:41:47,540 --> 01:41:48,240
 and created

2158
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:48,620
 a lot of

2159
01:41:48,620 --> 01:41:49,320
 hurt feelings

2160
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:49,940
 I mean he

2161
01:41:49,940 --> 01:41:50,380
 hurt a lot

2162
01:41:50,380 --> 01:41:50,760
 of feelings

2163
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:51,160
 he kept

2164
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:51,480
 a lot of

2165
01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:52,000
 other teams

2166
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:52,860
 from winning

2167
01:41:52,860 --> 01:41:53,280
 a national

2168
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:53,660
 title

2169
01:41:53,660 --> 01:41:55,300
 but if

2170
01:41:55,300 --> 01:41:55,780
 you listen

2171
01:41:55,780 --> 01:41:56,160
 to Nick

2172
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:56,580
 Saban's

2173
01:41:56,580 --> 01:41:57,000
 approach

2174
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:57,440
 yesterday

2175
01:41:57,440 --> 01:41:58,400
 and if

2176
01:41:58,400 --> 01:41:58,980
 you remove

2177
01:41:58,980 --> 01:41:59,640
 his voice

2178
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:00,180
 and put

2179
01:42:00,180 --> 01:42:00,400
 it with

2180
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:00,820
 anybody

2181
01:42:00,820 --> 01:42:01,860
 if Tommy

2182
01:42:01,860 --> 01:42:02,280
 Tuberville

2183
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:02,760
 stood up

2184
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:03,160
 there yesterday

2185
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:03,460
 as a

2186
01:42:03,460 --> 01:42:03,760
 senator

2187
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:04,540
 and said

2188
01:42:04,540 --> 01:42:04,900
 the same

2189
01:42:04,900 --> 01:42:05,180
 thing

2190
01:42:05,180 --> 01:42:05,620
 nobody would

2191
01:42:05,620 --> 01:42:05,760
 have had

2192
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:06,120
 a problem

2193
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:06,440
 with it

2194
01:42:06,440 --> 01:42:06,860
 but they

2195
01:42:06,860 --> 01:42:07,380
 had a problem

2196
01:42:07,380 --> 01:42:07,780
 because it

2197
01:42:07,780 --> 01:42:08,040
 was coming

2198
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:08,440
 from Nick

2199
01:42:08,440 --> 01:42:08,740
 Saban

2200
01:42:08,740 --> 01:42:09,380
 he spoke

2201
01:42:09,380 --> 01:42:09,740
 common

2202
01:42:09,740 --> 01:42:10,120
 sense

2203
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:10,500
 yesterday

2204
01:42:10,500 --> 01:42:11,080
 in

2205
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:11,420
 Washington

2206
01:42:11,420 --> 01:42:11,760
 D.C.

2207
01:42:11,780 --> 01:42:12,140
 but most

2208
01:42:12,140 --> 01:42:12,580
 people don't

2209
01:42:12,580 --> 01:42:12,800
 want to

2210
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:13,900
 accept it

2211
01:42:13,900 --> 01:42:15,820
 if the

2212
01:42:15,820 --> 01:42:16,760
 current trend

2213
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:17,460
 continues

2214
01:42:17,460 --> 01:42:17,740
 right

2215
01:42:17,740 --> 01:42:18,120
 let's have a

2216
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:18,520
 little fun

2217
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:19,140
 topic here

2218
01:42:19,140 --> 01:42:19,320
 a little

2219
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:19,480
 fun

2220
01:42:19,480 --> 01:42:19,900
 question

2221
01:42:19,900 --> 01:42:20,300
 where is

2222
01:42:20,300 --> 01:42:20,640
 college

2223
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:20,960
 football

2224
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:21,240
 going to

2225
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:21,360
 be

2226
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:21,660
 forget

2227
01:42:21,660 --> 01:42:22,940
 five years

2228
01:42:22,940 --> 01:42:23,460
 three years

2229
01:42:23,460 --> 01:42:23,820
 go back

2230
01:42:23,820 --> 01:42:24,120
 just

2231
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:24,880
 three years

2232
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:25,160
 ago

2233
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:25,640
 and fast

2234
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:25,880
 forward

2235
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:26,220
 to now

2236
01:42:26,220 --> 01:42:26,940
 how things

2237
01:42:26,940 --> 01:42:27,080
 have

2238
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:27,340
 changed

2239
01:42:27,340 --> 01:42:27,780
 remember

2240
01:42:27,780 --> 01:42:28,540
 what was

2241
01:42:28,540 --> 01:42:28,680
 it

2242
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:28,860
 Bo

2243
01:42:28,860 --> 01:42:29,260
 Nix

2244
01:42:29,260 --> 01:42:30,400
 scandalous

2245
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:30,820
 he had

2246
01:42:30,820 --> 01:42:31,640
 a deal

2247
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:32,300
 with Milo

2248
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:32,500
 tea

2249
01:42:32,500 --> 01:42:32,940
 for a few

2250
01:42:32,940 --> 01:42:33,640
 thousand dollars

2251
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:33,860
 and everybody

2252
01:42:33,860 --> 01:42:34,100
 thought

2253
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:34,560
 oh my

2254
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:35,180
 gosh

2255
01:42:35,180 --> 01:42:37,120
 you can't

2256
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:37,380
 even buy

2257
01:42:37,380 --> 01:42:37,820
 the sugar

2258
01:42:37,820 --> 01:42:38,100
 to go

2259
01:42:38,740 --> 01:42:39,140
 for that

2260
01:42:39,140 --> 01:42:39,640
 but what

2261
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:39,780
 are we

2262
01:42:39,780 --> 01:42:39,960
 going to

2263
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:40,220
 be in

2264
01:42:40,220 --> 01:42:40,680
 three years

2265
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:41,060
 if they

2266
01:42:41,060 --> 01:42:41,520
 don't start

2267
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:41,960
 tapping the

2268
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:42,160
 break

2269
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:42,660
 somewhere

2270
01:42:42,660 --> 01:42:44,760
 well I

2271
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:45,120
 think he

2272
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:45,920
 said it

2273
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:47,120
 you're going

2274
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:47,420
 to have to

2275
01:42:47,420 --> 01:42:47,580
 start

2276
01:42:47,580 --> 01:42:48,100
 canceling

2277
01:42:48,100 --> 01:42:48,620
 sports

2278
01:42:48,620 --> 01:42:49,180
 the club

2279
01:42:49,180 --> 01:42:49,740
 sports

2280
01:42:49,740 --> 01:42:50,540
 yeah

2281
01:42:50,540 --> 01:42:50,960
 yeah

2282
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:51,320
 I mean

2283
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:52,240
 Gus

2284
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:53,540
 and there's

2285
01:42:53,540 --> 01:42:53,800
 going to be

2286
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:54,100
 a few

2287
01:42:54,100 --> 01:42:54,800
 programs

2288
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:55,800
 you know

2289
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:56,280
 think about

2290
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:57,000
 Cody Campbell

2291
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:57,580
 okay

2292
01:42:57,580 --> 01:42:58,280
 he's invested

2293
01:42:58,280 --> 01:42:58,940
 I don't know

2294
01:42:58,940 --> 01:42:59,480
 probably a hundred

2295
01:42:59,480 --> 01:43:00,160
 million dollars

2296
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:01,040
 in Texas Tech

2297
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:02,140
 and he's still

2298
01:43:02,140 --> 01:43:02,620
 got that's

2299
01:43:02,620 --> 01:43:03,340
 pocket change

2300
01:43:03,340 --> 01:43:04,560
 well

2301
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:05,420
 and it is

2302
01:43:05,420 --> 01:43:06,620
 but his return

2303
01:43:06,620 --> 01:43:07,360
 on investment

2304
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:08,240
 other than a few

2305
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:09,320
 hats on the

2306
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:09,800
 back at the

2307
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:10,420
 country club

2308
01:43:10,420 --> 01:43:11,220
 they've not

2309
01:43:11,220 --> 01:43:11,660
 been able to

2310
01:43:11,660 --> 01:43:12,180
 walk away

2311
01:43:12,180 --> 01:43:12,880
 saying guys

2312
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:13,240
 look at

2313
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:13,400
 one

2314
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:14,860
 I mean if

2315
01:43:14,860 --> 01:43:15,580
 Texas beats

2316
01:43:15,580 --> 01:43:16,040
 them later

2317
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:16,600
 this evening

2318
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:18,800
 they've tried

2319
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:19,400
 to buy a lot

2320
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:19,920
 of championships

2321
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:20,580
 but it's not

2322
01:43:20,580 --> 01:43:21,180
 worked out

2323
01:43:21,180 --> 01:43:22,140
 but I think

2324
01:43:22,140 --> 01:43:22,860
 your non-revenue

2325
01:43:22,860 --> 01:43:23,740
 sports are at

2326
01:43:23,740 --> 01:43:24,080
 risk

2327
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:24,720
 I do

2328
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:26,020
 I think that

2329
01:43:26,020 --> 01:43:26,680
 you could see

2330
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:27,080
 this

2331
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:28,900
 from a level

2332
01:43:28,900 --> 01:43:29,800
 that

2333
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:31,300
 I don't know

2334
01:43:31,300 --> 01:43:32,020
 if you could

2335
01:43:32,020 --> 01:43:34,400
 it just can't

2336
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:34,520
 get

2337
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:34,940
 because what

2338
01:43:34,940 --> 01:43:35,360
 he's trying

2339
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:35,720
 to say

2340
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:36,480
 and I'm

2341
01:43:36,480 --> 01:43:36,800
 not sure

2342
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:37,120
 if people

2343
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:37,520
 connected

2344
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:38,140
 with guys

2345
01:43:38,140 --> 01:43:38,980
 but when

2346
01:43:38,980 --> 01:43:39,440
 he's talking

2347
01:43:39,440 --> 01:43:39,820
 about

2348
01:43:39,820 --> 01:43:40,940
 the money

2349
01:43:40,940 --> 01:43:41,440
 pulling out

2350
01:43:41,440 --> 01:43:41,940
 of a capital

2351
01:43:41,940 --> 01:43:42,560
 budget

2352
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:44,160
 you're going

2353
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:44,720
 to have to

2354
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:45,080
 where are you

2355
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:45,400
 going to get

2356
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:45,880
 that from

2357
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:47,500
 where are you

2358
01:43:47,500 --> 01:43:47,920
 going to get

2359
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:48,200
 it from

2360
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:48,600
 because that

2361
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:49,240
 money is not

2362
01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:49,800
 growing out

2363
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:50,160
 here

2364
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:51,980
 on trees

2365
01:43:51,980 --> 01:43:53,000
 season tickets

2366
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:54,420
 from a standpoint

2367
01:43:54,420 --> 01:43:55,300
 generates money

2368
01:43:55,300 --> 01:43:56,440
 TV executives

2369
01:43:56,440 --> 01:43:57,980
 or revenue

2370
01:43:57,980 --> 01:43:58,840
 generates money

2371
01:43:58,840 --> 01:43:59,840
 but where

2372
01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:00,160
 does the

2373
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:00,640
 money tree

2374
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:01,300
 come from

2375
01:44:01,300 --> 01:44:02,420
 I don't know

2376
01:44:02,420 --> 01:44:02,800
 if they're

2377
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:03,480
 going to have

2378
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:03,920
 enough

2379
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:04,780
 to be able

2380
01:44:04,780 --> 01:44:05,220
 to just say

2381
01:44:05,220 --> 01:44:05,660
 hey guys

2382
01:44:05,660 --> 01:44:05,960
 we're going

2383
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:06,260
 to throw

2384
01:44:06,260 --> 01:44:06,740
 this out

2385
01:44:06,740 --> 01:44:07,040
 there

2386
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:07,860
 this is

2387
01:44:07,860 --> 01:44:08,280
 where we're

2388
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:08,500
 going

2389
01:44:08,500 --> 01:44:09,860
 if it goes

2390
01:44:09,860 --> 01:44:10,300
 to 20

2391
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:11,180
 now also

2392
01:44:11,180 --> 01:44:11,700
 keep in

2393
01:44:11,700 --> 01:44:12,100
 mind

2394
01:44:12,100 --> 01:44:13,220
 they've also

2395
01:44:13,220 --> 01:44:13,640
 got that

2396
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:14,340
 house lawsuit

2397
01:44:14,340 --> 01:44:14,860
 that they

2398
01:44:14,860 --> 01:44:15,180
 got to go

2399
01:44:15,180 --> 01:44:15,660
 back and

2400
01:44:15,660 --> 01:44:16,260
 back pay

2401
01:44:16,260 --> 01:44:17,420
 so that's

2402
01:44:17,420 --> 01:44:17,700
 another

2403
01:44:17,700 --> 01:44:18,220
 payment

2404
01:44:18,220 --> 01:44:18,880
 that's

2405
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:19,200
 on these

2406
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:19,500
 athletic

2407
01:44:19,500 --> 01:44:19,900
 departments

2408
01:44:19,900 --> 01:44:20,180
 and I'm

2409
01:44:20,180 --> 01:44:20,540
 not taking

2410
01:44:20,540 --> 01:44:20,740
 out

2411
01:44:20,740 --> 01:44:21,080
 it's not

2412
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:21,400
 like they're

2413
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:21,820
 on rice

2414
01:44:21,820 --> 01:44:22,360
 and beans

2415
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:23,100
 in the

2416
01:44:23,100 --> 01:44:23,420
 athletic

2417
01:44:23,420 --> 01:44:23,880
 department

2418
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:24,560
 but I'm

2419
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:24,960
 talking about

2420
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:25,500
 across the

2421
01:44:25,500 --> 01:44:26,000
 country

2422
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,100
 when you start

2423
01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:27,580
 crunching

2424
01:44:27,580 --> 01:44:28,000
 the numbers

2425
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:28,360
 go back

2426
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:28,700
 look at

2427
01:44:28,700 --> 01:44:29,000
 the year

2428
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:29,480
 that COVID

2429
01:44:29,480 --> 01:44:29,940
 happened

2430
01:44:29,940 --> 01:44:31,380
 if COVID

2431
01:44:31,380 --> 01:44:31,800
 happened

2432
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:32,220
 now

2433
01:44:32,220 --> 01:44:33,260
 I think

2434
01:44:33,260 --> 01:44:33,520
 you would

2435
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:33,900
 see some

2436
01:44:33,900 --> 01:44:34,060
 of these

2437
01:44:34,060 --> 01:44:34,400
 athletic

2438
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:34,860
 departments

2439
01:44:34,860 --> 01:44:35,200
 have to

2440
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:35,500
 literally

2441
01:44:35,500 --> 01:44:36,040
 they would

2442
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:36,480
 be bankrupt

2443
01:44:36,480 --> 01:44:38,140
 I think

2444
01:44:38,140 --> 01:44:38,400
 they would

2445
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:38,740
 be in a

2446
01:44:38,740 --> 01:44:39,020
 mess

2447
01:44:39,020 --> 01:44:39,760
 you make

2448
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:40,060
 a point

2449
01:44:40,060 --> 01:44:40,600
 about Texas

2450
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:40,960
 Tech

2451
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:41,560
 about just

2452
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:41,900
 what they're

2453
01:44:41,900 --> 01:44:42,460
 doing as far

2454
01:44:42,460 --> 01:44:42,820
 as buying

2455
01:44:42,820 --> 01:44:43,180
 players

2456
01:44:43,180 --> 01:44:43,780
 but we

2457
01:44:43,780 --> 01:44:44,160
 touched

2458
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:44,440
 on

2459
01:44:44,440 --> 01:44:44,860
 we have

2460
01:44:44,860 --> 01:44:45,060
 a lot

2461
01:44:45,060 --> 01:44:45,400
 of national

2462
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:45,640
 guests

2463
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:46,040
 like you

2464
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:46,180
 do

2465
01:44:46,180 --> 01:44:46,360
 too

2466
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:46,560
 and they

2467
01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:46,760
 touched

2468
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:47,200
 on a

2469
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:48,140
 very interesting

2470
01:44:48,140 --> 01:44:48,480
 point

2471
01:44:48,480 --> 01:44:48,740
 the other

2472
01:44:48,740 --> 01:44:49,180
 day

2473
01:44:49,180 --> 01:44:49,980
 their schedule

2474
01:44:49,980 --> 01:44:50,540
 last year

2475
01:44:50,540 --> 01:44:51,240
 was a joke

2476
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:51,740
 it's even

2477
01:44:51,740 --> 01:44:52,200
 more of a

2478
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:52,420
 joke

2479
01:44:52,420 --> 01:44:52,940
 this year

2480
01:44:52,940 --> 01:44:54,420
 so how

2481
01:44:54,420 --> 01:44:54,900
 much of an

2482
01:44:54,900 --> 01:44:55,280
 influence

2483
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:55,760
 does money

2484
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:56,320
 have on

2485
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:56,880
 both fronts

2486
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:57,340
 go buy

2487
01:44:57,340 --> 01:44:57,780
 the best

2488
01:44:57,780 --> 01:44:58,280
 players

2489
01:44:58,280 --> 01:44:59,220
 and then

2490
01:44:59,220 --> 01:44:59,800
 influence

2491
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:00,380
 the schedule

2492
01:45:00,380 --> 01:45:00,720
 maker

2493
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:01,060
 to give

2494
01:45:01,060 --> 01:45:01,320
 you the

2495
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:01,840
 softest

2496
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:02,240
 schedule

2497
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:02,860
 because we

2498
01:45:02,860 --> 01:45:03,180
 know the

2499
01:45:03,180 --> 01:45:03,560
 NCAA

2500
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:04,040
 there's no

2501
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:04,300
 other way

2502
01:45:04,300 --> 01:45:04,640
 of putting

2503
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:04,800
 it

2504
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:04,920
 they're

2505
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:05,520
 hypocrites

2506
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:06,120
 to me

2507
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:07,200
 you preach

2508
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:07,600
 one thing

2509
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:08,040
 you practice

2510
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:08,460
 another

2511
01:45:08,460 --> 01:45:09,180
 they talk

2512
01:45:09,180 --> 01:45:09,420
 about

2513
01:45:09,420 --> 01:45:09,720
 strength

2514
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:10,300
 of schedule

2515
01:45:10,300 --> 01:45:10,760
 blah blah

2516
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:11,060
 blah

2517
01:45:11,060 --> 01:45:11,280
 and then

2518
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:11,400
 on

2519
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:11,760
 selection

2520
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:12,160
 Sunday

2521
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:12,460
 we know

2522
01:45:12,460 --> 01:45:13,060
 what happens

2523
01:45:13,060 --> 01:45:13,820
 they're not

2524
01:45:13,820 --> 01:45:14,320
 going to put

2525
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:15,560
 a two lost

2526
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:16,040
 Alabama

2527
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:16,860
 Auburn team

2528
01:45:16,860 --> 01:45:17,780
 in over an

2529
01:45:17,780 --> 01:45:18,220
 unbeaten

2530
01:45:18,220 --> 01:45:18,660
 Nebraska

2531
01:45:18,660 --> 01:45:19,280
 or Texas

2532
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:19,900
 Tech team

2533
01:45:19,900 --> 01:45:20,480
 your thoughts

2534
01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:20,900
 just about

2535
01:45:20,900 --> 01:45:21,220
 how much

2536
01:45:21,220 --> 01:45:21,680
 influence

2537
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:22,140
 big money

2538
01:45:22,140 --> 01:45:22,400
 has

2539
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:23,120
 even over

2540
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:23,800
 getting

2541
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:24,400
 to there

2542
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:24,780
 to that

2543
01:45:24,780 --> 01:45:25,200
 path

2544
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,520
 yeah

2545
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:28,720
 I just don't

2546
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:29,040
 think you

2547
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:29,660
 can survive

2548
01:45:29,660 --> 01:45:30,220
 I mean

2549
01:45:30,220 --> 01:45:31,280
 watching the

2550
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:32,080
 Monday game

2551
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:33,420
 with softball

2552
01:45:33,420 --> 01:45:34,800
 it reminded

2553
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:35,200
 me of

2554
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:35,800
 how much

2555
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:36,560
 that sport

2556
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:37,580
 a non-revenue

2557
01:45:37,580 --> 01:45:38,580
 Olympic sport

2558
01:45:38,580 --> 01:45:39,800
 who generally

2559
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:40,880
 loses money

2560
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:41,640
 throughout every

2561
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:42,520
 college campus

2562
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:43,040
 across the

2563
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:43,400
 country

2564
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,120
 NIL has

2565
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:45,880
 taken over

2566
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:46,720
 in that

2567
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:47,280
 department

2568
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:48,120
 that's right

2569
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:49,200
 I mean

2570
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:49,880
 it's

2571
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:50,740
 because if

2572
01:45:50,740 --> 01:45:51,100
 you're not

2573
01:45:51,100 --> 01:45:51,300
 going to

2574
01:45:51,300 --> 01:45:51,720
 spend the

2575
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:51,940
 money

2576
01:45:51,940 --> 01:45:52,680
 you're not

2577
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:52,920
 going to

2578
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:53,240
 win

2579
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:54,500
 at that

2580
01:45:54,500 --> 01:45:54,820
 level

2581
01:45:54,820 --> 01:45:55,780
 you're not

2582
01:45:55,780 --> 01:45:56,080
 I mean

2583
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:56,720
 you're not

2584
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:56,980
 going to

2585
01:45:56,980 --> 01:45:57,280
 be able

2586
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:57,580
 to

2587
01:45:57,580 --> 01:45:58,320
 so

2588
01:45:58,320 --> 01:45:59,100
 I think

2589
01:45:59,100 --> 01:45:59,460
 when you

2590
01:45:59,460 --> 01:45:59,980
 step back

2591
01:45:59,980 --> 01:46:00,320
 and look

2592
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:00,660
 at it

2593
01:46:00,660 --> 01:46:01,280
 it's

2594
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:01,860
 every sport

2595
01:46:01,860 --> 01:46:02,760
 it's

2596
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:03,120
 golf

2597
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:04,000
 so

2598
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:04,240
 it

2599
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:05,500
 goes back

2600
01:46:05,500 --> 01:46:05,860
 to something

2601
01:46:05,860 --> 01:46:06,340
 I've said

2602
01:46:06,340 --> 01:46:06,660
 a couple

2603
01:46:06,660 --> 01:46:07,060
 times

2604
01:46:07,060 --> 01:46:07,460
 I've probably

2605
01:46:07,460 --> 01:46:07,760
 said it

2606
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:08,000
 here

2607
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:08,400
 I know

2608
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:08,700
 I've said

2609
01:46:08,700 --> 01:46:09,100
 it every

2610
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:09,260
 day

2611
01:46:09,260 --> 01:46:09,760
 my audience

2612
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:10,180
 is tired

2613
01:46:10,180 --> 01:46:10,400
 of me

2614
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:11,000
 saying this

2615
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:11,840
 you're going

2616
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:12,300
 to have to

2617
01:46:12,300 --> 01:46:12,820
 decide

2618
01:46:12,820 --> 01:46:13,600
 which sports

2619
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:13,880
 you're going

2620
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:14,300
 to be good

2621
01:46:14,300 --> 01:46:14,580
 at

2622
01:46:14,580 --> 01:46:15,340
 and which

2623
01:46:15,340 --> 01:46:15,680
 sports

2624
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:15,980
 you're going

2625
01:46:15,980 --> 01:46:16,200
 to be

2626
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:16,480
 kind of

2627
01:46:16,480 --> 01:46:19,580
 and the rest

2628
01:46:19,580 --> 01:46:19,880
 of it

2629
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:20,180
 you're just

2630
01:46:20,180 --> 01:46:20,460
 going to be

2631
01:46:20,460 --> 01:46:20,700
 kind of

2632
01:46:20,700 --> 01:46:21,100
 mediocre

2633
01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:23,060
 you know

2634
01:46:23,060 --> 01:46:24,100
 for Auburn

2635
01:46:24,100 --> 01:46:24,560
 it may be

2636
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:25,380
 tennis and golf

2637
01:46:25,380 --> 01:46:26,780
 is you know

2638
01:46:26,780 --> 01:46:27,340
 where their

2639
01:46:27,340 --> 01:46:27,900
 success

2640
01:46:27,900 --> 01:46:28,400
 lies

2641
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:29,900
 for Alabama

2642
01:46:29,900 --> 01:46:31,080
 it may be

2643
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:32,080
 basketball

2644
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:33,920
 and football

2645
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:35,440
 Mississippi State

2646
01:46:35,440 --> 01:46:35,820
 it may be

2647
01:46:35,820 --> 01:46:36,260
 baseball

2648
01:46:36,260 --> 01:46:38,020
 you have to

2649
01:46:38,020 --> 01:46:38,540
 pick and

2650
01:46:38,540 --> 01:46:39,020
 choose

2651
01:46:39,020 --> 01:46:40,080
 because I

2652
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:40,440
 just don't

2653
01:46:40,440 --> 01:46:40,760
 think you

2654
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:41,160
 can take

2655
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:42,160
 21 sports

2656
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:43,240
 and fully

2657
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:43,940
 fund them

2658
01:46:43,940 --> 01:46:44,300
 to the

2659
01:46:44,300 --> 01:46:44,620
 max

2660
01:46:44,620 --> 01:46:46,120
 and compete

2661
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:47,000
 with it

2662
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:47,720
 because if you

2663
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:48,540
 went out

2664
01:46:48,540 --> 01:46:49,060
 here and you

2665
01:46:49,060 --> 01:46:49,520
 spent on

2666
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:50,500
 every single

2667
01:46:50,500 --> 01:46:52,020
 program that

2668
01:46:52,020 --> 01:46:52,500
 you have

2669
01:46:52,500 --> 01:46:52,900
 to the

2670
01:46:52,900 --> 01:46:53,620
 maximum amount

2671
01:46:53,620 --> 01:46:54,040
 of money

2672
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:54,660
 that you

2673
01:46:54,660 --> 01:46:55,340
 can spend

2674
01:46:55,340 --> 01:46:56,800
 I don't think

2675
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:57,200
 there's many

2676
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:58,020
 schools probably

2677
01:46:58,020 --> 01:46:58,700
 including

2678
01:46:58,700 --> 01:46:59,980
 the Texas

2679
01:46:59,980 --> 01:47:00,940
 Texas Tech

2680
01:47:00,940 --> 01:47:01,440
 that can

2681
01:47:01,440 --> 01:47:01,960
 afford it

2682
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:02,420
 that can

2683
01:47:02,420 --> 01:47:02,720
 go out

2684
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:02,940
 here and

2685
01:47:02,940 --> 01:47:03,400
 swing for

2686
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:03,840
 the fences

2687
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:04,220
 and say

2688
01:47:04,220 --> 01:47:04,660
 not long

2689
01:47:04,660 --> 01:47:05,040
 term

2690
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,160
 because at

2691
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:07,560
 some point

2692
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:07,820
 listen

2693
01:47:07,820 --> 01:47:09,040
 we all

2694
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:09,460
 know enough

2695
01:47:09,460 --> 01:47:10,020
 rich people

2696
01:47:10,020 --> 01:47:10,640
 to understand

2697
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:11,120
 this right

2698
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:11,380
 here

2699
01:47:11,380 --> 01:47:13,080
 they want

2700
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:13,620
 to ROI

2701
01:47:13,620 --> 01:47:14,800
 they're rich

2702
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:15,620
 because they're

2703
01:47:15,620 --> 01:47:16,100
 not foolish

2704
01:47:16,100 --> 01:47:16,380
 with their

2705
01:47:16,380 --> 01:47:16,600
 money

2706
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:16,980
 that's the

2707
01:47:16,980 --> 01:47:17,360
 bottom line

2708
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:17,640
 that's why

2709
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:18,100
 they're rich

2710
01:47:18,100 --> 01:47:19,440
 and they

2711
01:47:19,440 --> 01:47:20,360
 want some

2712
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:20,700
 type of

2713
01:47:20,700 --> 01:47:21,140
 return

2714
01:47:21,140 --> 01:47:22,060
 there can

2715
01:47:22,060 --> 01:47:22,540
 only be

2716
01:47:22,540 --> 01:47:23,340
 one team

2717
01:47:23,340 --> 01:47:24,440
 unless you're

2718
01:47:24,440 --> 01:47:24,840
 going to say

2719
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:25,580
 a college

2720
01:47:25,580 --> 01:47:25,940
 football

2721
01:47:25,940 --> 01:47:26,400
 playoff

2722
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:26,800
 appearance

2723
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:27,680
 is success

2724
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:28,260
 and that's

2725
01:47:28,260 --> 01:47:28,460
 worth

2726
01:47:28,460 --> 01:47:29,880
 $40 million

2727
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:30,400
 I mean

2728
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:30,700
 look at

2729
01:47:30,700 --> 01:47:31,100
 Texas

2730
01:47:31,100 --> 01:47:31,920
 they spent

2731
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:32,520
 $40 million

2732
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:32,840
 didn't even

2733
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:33,140
 go to the

2734
01:47:33,140 --> 01:47:33,520
 playoffs

2735
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:34,440
 is those

2736
01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:34,800
 boosters

2737
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:35,220
 going to be

2738
01:47:35,220 --> 01:47:35,720
 as reluctant

2739
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:36,020
 to go

2740
01:47:36,020 --> 01:47:36,460
 hey guys

2741
01:47:36,460 --> 01:47:36,900
 let's go

2742
01:47:36,900 --> 01:47:37,100
 spend

2743
01:47:37,100 --> 01:47:37,680
 another $50

2744
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:37,960
 million

2745
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:39,900
 I guess

2746
01:47:39,900 --> 01:47:40,220
 if you've

2747
01:47:40,220 --> 01:47:40,900
 got a surplus

2748
01:47:40,900 --> 01:47:42,160
 and you say

2749
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:42,580
 well I don't

2750
01:47:42,580 --> 01:47:43,220
 have anywhere else

2751
01:47:43,220 --> 01:47:43,520
 to spend

2752
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:43,960
 my money

2753
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:44,380
 I'm fixing

2754
01:47:44,380 --> 01:47:44,580
 to go

2755
01:47:44,580 --> 01:47:44,780
 to the

2756
01:47:44,780 --> 01:47:45,160
 grave

2757
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:45,820
 I might

2758
01:47:45,820 --> 01:47:45,920
 have

2759
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:46,300
 to spend

2760
01:47:46,300 --> 01:47:46,620
 it before

2761
01:47:46,620 --> 01:47:46,880
 I give

2762
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:47,160
 it to all

2763
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:47,680
 my kids

2764
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,040
 maybe that's

2765
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:50,000
 the rebuttal

2766
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:50,880
 but it's

2767
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:52,280
 an area

2768
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:52,940
 that I

2769
01:47:52,940 --> 01:47:53,520
 wonder

2770
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:54,240
 you asked

2771
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:54,500
 me if

2772
01:47:54,500 --> 01:47:55,660
 we'll be

2773
01:47:55,660 --> 01:47:56,080
 in five

2774
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:56,400
 years

2775
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:57,400
 and my

2776
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:57,880
 response

2777
01:47:57,880 --> 01:47:58,180
 is

2778
01:47:58,180 --> 01:47:59,060
 I don't

2779
01:47:59,060 --> 01:47:59,680
 have a

2780
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:00,080
 clue

2781
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,620
 that's

2782
01:48:03,620 --> 01:48:04,120
 the problem

2783
01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:07,600
 and Greg

2784
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:08,080
 thank you

2785
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:09,480
 we'll see

2786
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:11,640
 but I feel

2787
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:11,940
 like

2788
01:48:11,940 --> 01:48:13,960
 this collaboration

2789
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:14,820
 with him

2790
01:48:14,820 --> 01:48:15,060
 and the

2791
01:48:15,060 --> 01:48:15,560
 Big Ten

2792
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:16,600
 maybe this

2793
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:16,920
 is the

2794
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:17,500
 first step

2795
01:48:17,500 --> 01:48:17,920
 because

2796
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:19,100
 we've got

2797
01:48:19,100 --> 01:48:19,340
 Heather

2798
01:48:19,340 --> 01:48:19,620
 Denish

2799
01:48:19,620 --> 01:48:19,960
 coming up

2800
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:20,120
 here in

2801
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:20,640
 about 10

2802
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:20,900
 minutes

2803
01:48:20,900 --> 01:48:21,300
 she's going

2804
01:48:21,300 --> 01:48:21,500
 to be on

2805
01:48:21,500 --> 01:48:21,720
 our show

2806
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:22,180
 about 15

2807
01:48:22,180 --> 01:48:22,460
 minutes

2808
01:48:22,460 --> 01:48:23,720
 and I

2809
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:24,120
 think she

2810
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:24,640
 has said

2811
01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:25,860
 that maybe

2812
01:48:25,860 --> 01:48:27,200
 the United

2813
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:27,440
 States

2814
01:48:27,440 --> 01:48:27,920
 Congress

2815
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:29,380
 they think

2816
01:48:29,380 --> 01:48:29,740
 that the

2817
01:48:29,740 --> 01:48:30,300
 Big Ten

2818
01:48:30,300 --> 01:48:31,400
 is going

2819
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:31,700
 to try to

2820
01:48:31,700 --> 01:48:32,240
 create this

2821
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:32,760
 superpower

2822
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:33,360
 of the SEC

2823
01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:34,620
 and maybe

2824
01:48:34,620 --> 01:48:35,040
 that's one

2825
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:35,220
 of the

2826
01:48:35,220 --> 01:48:35,720
 stipulations

2827
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:36,260
 because we

2828
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:36,660
 saw that

2829
01:48:36,660 --> 01:48:36,960
 joint

2830
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:37,520
 statement

2831
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:38,640
 of them

2832
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:38,960
 kind of

2833
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:39,580
 opposing

2834
01:48:39,580 --> 01:48:39,960
 it

2835
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:41,080
 well guys

2836
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:42,420
 you've had

2837
01:48:42,420 --> 01:48:42,900
 two and a

2838
01:48:42,900 --> 01:48:43,680
 half months

2839
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,000
 there's no way

2840
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:46,500
 you don't have

2841
01:48:46,500 --> 01:48:46,820
 to fly

2842
01:48:46,820 --> 01:48:47,300
 Southwest

2843
01:48:47,300 --> 01:48:47,980
 or Delta

2844
01:48:47,980 --> 01:48:48,640
 or United

2845
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:49,580
 you get on

2846
01:48:49,580 --> 01:48:49,880
 that little

2847
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:50,600
 private jet

2848
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:51,160
 go up to

2849
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:51,840
 Washington D.C.

2850
01:48:51,860 --> 01:48:52,160
 and help

2851
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:52,640
 them draft

2852
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:53,020
 a bill

2853
01:48:53,020 --> 01:48:53,980
 they're at

2854
01:48:53,980 --> 01:48:54,480
 least doing

2855
01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:55,140
 something

2856
01:48:55,140 --> 01:48:56,440
 go up there

2857
01:48:56,440 --> 01:48:56,760
 and help

2858
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:57,160
 them draft

2859
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:57,760
 tell them

2860
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:58,100
 where they're

2861
01:48:58,100 --> 01:48:58,720
 wrong at

2862
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:00,320
 I don't

2863
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:01,160
 think Greg

2864
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:01,580
 stayed too

2865
01:49:01,580 --> 01:49:02,100
 many trips

2866
01:49:02,100 --> 01:49:02,640
 to Washington

2867
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:03,080
 D.C.

2868
01:49:03,660 --> 01:49:05,120
 I don't

2869
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:05,620
 think so

2870
01:49:05,620 --> 01:49:06,360
 Ryan

2871
01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:06,900
 that's been

2872
01:49:06,900 --> 01:49:07,520
 my point

2873
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:07,900
 that I've

2874
01:49:07,900 --> 01:49:08,440
 been making

2875
01:49:08,440 --> 01:49:09,280
 for months

2876
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:09,660
 now

2877
01:49:09,660 --> 01:49:10,320
 it's very

2878
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:10,880
 easy to

2879
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:11,660
 criticize

2880
01:49:11,660 --> 01:49:12,600
 the

2881
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:12,960
 Protect

2882
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:13,420

 Sports

2884
01:49:13,860 --> 01:49:14,240
 Act

2885
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:15,560
 it's not

2886
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:16,380
 everything

2887
01:49:16,380 --> 01:49:16,840
 for

2888
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:17,340
 everybody

2889
01:49:17,340 --> 01:49:17,960
 but it

2890
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:18,520
 really does

2891
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:18,980
 have

2892
01:49:18,980 --> 01:49:19,920
 some

2893
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:20,440
 legitimate

2894
01:49:20,440 --> 01:49:21,220
 points

2895
01:49:21,220 --> 01:49:22,420
 and a

2896
01:49:22,420 --> 01:49:22,700
 lot of

2897
01:49:22,700 --> 01:49:23,060
 these

2898
01:49:23,060 --> 01:49:24,020
 sports

2899
01:49:24,020 --> 01:49:24,740
 journalists

2900
01:49:24,740 --> 01:49:26,060
 who are

2901
01:49:26,060 --> 01:49:26,300
 really

2902
01:49:26,300 --> 01:49:27,020
 activists

2903
01:49:27,020 --> 01:49:27,940
 keep

2904
01:49:27,940 --> 01:49:28,360
 talking

2905
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:28,740
 about

2906
01:49:28,740 --> 01:49:29,080
 this

2907
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:29,460
 but I'm

2908
01:49:29,460 --> 01:49:29,720
 like

2909
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:30,080
 you

2910
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:31,320
 and

2911
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:31,760
 listen

2912
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:32,140
 let's

2913
01:49:32,140 --> 01:49:32,760
 get over

2914
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:33,440
 the 16

2915
01:49:33,440 --> 01:49:34,060
 to 24

2916
01:49:34,060 --> 01:49:34,660
 we've

2917
01:49:34,660 --> 01:49:35,060
 got a lot

2918
01:49:35,060 --> 01:49:35,640
 of decisions

2919
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:36,140
 to be

2920
01:49:36,140 --> 01:49:36,560
 made

2921
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:37,520
 one time

2922
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:38,060
 transfer

2923
01:49:38,060 --> 01:49:38,860
 five years

2924
01:49:38,860 --> 01:49:39,300
 to play

2925
01:49:39,300 --> 01:49:39,900
 five

2926
01:49:39,900 --> 01:49:41,020
 and you

2927
01:49:41,020 --> 01:49:41,480
 just go

2928
01:49:41,480 --> 01:49:41,960
 on and

2929
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:42,320
 on and

2930
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:42,620
 on

2931
01:49:42,620 --> 01:49:43,020
 and a

2932
01:49:43,020 --> 01:49:43,180
 lot

2933
01:49:43,180 --> 01:49:43,300
 of

2934
01:49:43,300 --> 01:49:43,560
 things

2935
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:43,720
 are

2936
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:44,220
 covered

2937
01:49:44,220 --> 01:49:45,060

2940

 Sports

2941
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:46,600
 Act

2942
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:47,180
 why don't

2943
01:49:47,180 --> 01:49:47,620
 they just

2944
01:49:47,620 --> 01:49:48,400
 use that

2945
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:48,880
 blueprint

2946
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:49,600
 and sit

2947
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:49,940
 down

2948
01:49:49,940 --> 01:49:50,280
 and say

2949
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:50,880
 look let's

2950
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:51,440
 work this

2951
01:49:51,440 --> 01:49:51,840
 out

2952
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:52,700
 the finer

2953
01:49:52,700 --> 01:49:53,180
 points

2954
01:49:53,180 --> 01:49:53,700
 get this

2955
01:49:53,700 --> 01:49:53,960
 thing

2956
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:54,460
 worked out

2957
01:49:54,460 --> 01:49:54,740
 and then

2958
01:49:54,740 --> 01:49:55,060
 we can

2959
01:49:55,060 --> 01:49:55,380
 assign

2960
01:49:55,380 --> 01:49:55,680
 if we're

2961
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:56,020
 going to

2962
01:49:56,020 --> 01:49:56,580
 16 or

2963
01:49:56,580 --> 01:49:57,040
 24

2964
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:58,020
 later

2965
01:49:58,020 --> 01:49:58,620
 this year

2966
01:49:58,620 --> 01:49:59,660
 sure

2967
01:49:59,660 --> 01:50:00,160
 sure

2968
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:00,980
 but we're

2969
01:50:00,980 --> 01:50:01,360
 not willing

2970
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:01,620
 to do

2971
01:50:01,620 --> 01:50:01,920
 that

2972
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:03,380
 because we

2973
01:50:03,380 --> 01:50:04,220
 have egos

2974
01:50:04,220 --> 01:50:04,600
 that are

2975
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:05,160
 involved

2976
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:06,060
 just like

2977
01:50:06,060 --> 01:50:06,640
 politicians

2978
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:07,400
 have egos

2979
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:07,740
 because they

2980
01:50:07,740 --> 01:50:08,020
 want to

2981
01:50:08,020 --> 01:50:08,520
 draft the

2982
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:08,760
 bill

2983
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:10,320
 I think

2984
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:10,600
 we have

2985
01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:11,160
 egos

2986
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:11,460
 at the

2987
01:50:11,460 --> 01:50:11,940
 commissioner's

2988
01:50:11,940 --> 01:50:12,280
 office

2989
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:13,060
 and I

2990
01:50:13,060 --> 01:50:13,280
 think

2991
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:14,500
