"But it just seems like when his name got brought up after Brian got fired, it seemed like the whole team just stopped being connected, sort of got disconnected from each other. So I think that's the one that I'm most concerned with. They gave lane this huge contract and I think on the surface he deserves it because he made all this relevant again. He led him to a new year's 6 bowl last year. Adam and what the top ten at some point this year, but they didn't finish that. They actually, I think maybe embarrassed themselves in the bowl game more than I think anybody thought they would. So I'd say the one that I'm most concerned about is Ole miss, which is shocking to me because I've said before the season and even said during the season that Alabama versus Ole miss is a de facto SEC west championship game and obviously LS, you've had something to do with that, but yeah, old myths that had more to do with that prediction and that thought not necessarily coming to fruition. I know, as you look ahead, it's probably never been more difficult to look too far ahead because we don't know what remains, but in terms of programs that are out there shopping right now for particularly quarterbacks. So where are you focused? My biggest focus is all of our hue frees made Bow Wow at the 3000 yard passer. He made Jack Kelly a star. Obviously, you had Matt Carell mackerel also talented. So you recruited him anyway. So I think with auburn, we had heard the grace and McCall stuff. And I think with the reports, when that visit was supposed to happen, but didn't that there's the academic stuff, it didn't transfer to Florida that he's leaving the portal and going back to coastal Carolina. That suggests to me that all of these schools really wanted him and are sort of scrambling right now because Florida going with grand murp. That's not he's not a game changer, right? So I think auburn sort of left I wouldn't say purgatory because there are plenty of quarterbacks out there, but I think Grayson McCall was its first choice. I think Jason McCall was everybody's first choice at this point. So I'm interested to see where auburn goes, whether it's rent an Armstrong who had a terrible year Virginia, but was awesome last year or and so I think does that happen? Do they just wait until after spring practice to see if you freeze can make Robbie asper to more consistent passer and reevaluate prior to the next portal window opening. So I think that's what's interesting to me is that clearly wants to go into that in the portal and get a quarterback. It really didn't. And other schools sort of moved on to guys who were clearly a step down from on the field, what grace and McAuliffe. Barry, you mentioned merchant, Florida. What do you make out of Billy Napier's first season? I think for Billy Napier, the roster issue. The lack of development that Dan Mullen had coupled with the recruiting deficiencies hurt him. But I think it's more like a long-term problem because Jim mcelwain part of the reason he tailed off in Florida was because he did not develop his roster.

"If you think about it in little league baseball, if it's a ballplayer, they were protective chest pad. And I believe that this accident last night came from the impact of that pad unless there was a preexisting condition that we're not aware of. Right. But I don't understand. I think if you think about shoulder pads, where they come together, there's not protection for about maybe one inch inch and a half and why not have some company create a protective pad to go under the shoulder pads. It would absorb some of that impact. Yeah, Mike, I alluded to it earlier and I'll say it one more time and I've heard it from cardiologists and trained physicians that it's just a matter of when you're hit, I don't even know if it's, I don't even know if you could have padding on that extra inch at the precise moment of the heartbeat, depending on where it is in the rhythm, if you catch it at the wrong time, you're going to unfortunately end up. Not always, but occasionally, in a spot like this, and you mentioned little league, you see this in little league a lot where a young person goes into a cardiac arrest. And you say, how could that happen with a 9 year old? Well, it can. If the heart takes a severe blow at the wrong time, yep. The real question here, based on what I've heard, and I hate to be analytical about the fate of an outstanding young person, but it's just a matter of how quickly you can deal with it. Once they got him, once they got his heart beating again, that does mitigate some of the issues, but it's just depends on how long it took and what type of damage if any occurred. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it. Ron is in Mississippi. Hello, Ron. Hey, Paul. First time caller. Thank you. First off, you know, send my prayers and thoughts out to demar Hammond. That's a very tough thing that happened last night. Well, Paul, I don't want to hold you on, man. I just want to tell you this. My best friend is a Georgia fan and I'm Obama fan and we've been beating George in the ground for years. And Paul, I'm sick and tired of you saying that Georgia is the best team in America poem. That's so not true. Last year, Paul, if it Jane O had to go on our pole, George it would have not been national champ. This year Paul Marvin Harrison junior go out, Georgia would not be marching on. Come on, Paul. I appreciate your revisionist history, but who is the best team then? Alabama, Alabama. Alabama and you know it, Paul. You know it. You know it. A team that nearly had 5 losses is the best team in the country. Hey, hey. Close only counts in horseshoes when it comes out about what everybody else. It's a good line, very original. Yeah. But losing that Tennessee and LSU games, somewhat disqualified them from this conversation.

"This is the Paul fine bomb show best of podcast. Our number two underway, we appreciate all of you being with us. RV is up next in Tennessee. Hello, Barbie. Hello. First time losing a long time call a long time listener first time caller. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you. Paul, I just want to say we wish. A speedy recovery from me and my family, she didn't overreach and sell Alabama and please get well soon. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you very, very much. And I think we all echo exactly what you said there. John is up next in Florida. Hello, John. Hey, Paul, and taught you in a while. Hey, just want to a happy new year, too, by the way. Just wanted to respond to JK. I mean, I don't have that crystal ball that he has. But the one thing I do know is that we know what that JK stands for, starts with Jack. And I think we all know what it is with. Take care of all. Roger is in Florida. Hey, roger. Hey, Paul, and one talk a little bit about Michigan TCU. If we must well, I just want to talk about Harbaugh. You know, yeah, I had a great last two years, it's been great being the Ohio State, but he's one in 6 and bowl games. I think he's even against Michigan state. And against Ohio State two in 5. So all of a sudden the fell talk kind of tired of hearing about it. I want to hear your opinion on that. Should he go or should he stay? I'm going to hang out. Roger, I think he should definitely leave. Because he's reached the Pinnacle. He's at the zenith. He's not going to ever win a bowl game, a postseason playoff game. I mean, this was his best shot. And it's one thing placing Georgia last year. He's facing TCU. I know that sounds like a shot, but when you consider to he had what Purdue, who did he play in the Big Ten championship game Purdue? And now TCU to get to the national championship game to BTC. That's anybody would take that. I know that sounds like I'm disrespecting the horned frogs. I'm just telling you from a Michigan perspective, that was the matchup he wanted. He didn't want to play Ohio State again. You may think he wanted to. In the end, Michigan state, in the end, Michigan really had, I think, two impressive wins, three impressive wins all year at Iowa. At Penn State at home and they beat Ohio State. On the road, they were not really prepared for what they got into. This isn't the SEC where you may you may get that look at Alabama this year. Some are still arguing they're the best team in the country, whether or not, but they were tested 5 or 6 different times. Michigan was never tested. Ohio State didn't have too many close calls. And that shows up in the fourth quarter. Now, you could argue, well, what about Georgia? They only had one close call the whole year. Well, they were the best team in the country. They were able to overcome that. Barry is in Virginia. Hello, Barry. Hello, mister. Thank you should start off 2023 with a great note and make whatever Booker the official chaplain of the Paul Simon bomber. I think that's a really good idea, Barry. I think Booker, we already know what a contribution he has made to several people. And I think he is an inspiration to all of us. Thank you very much for the call. Let's talk to Mike in Colorado, a hell of Mike. Hello there, mister pine bomb, and have a good new year. Thank you. Hey, I have kind of an interesting perspective, I think, on the hit that took place last night and Hamlin hope we're all praying that he comes through, obviously, but my perspective is this.

"Split between that is 71.7 points. Over under Arizona at home scoring 71.7 points against the number one per session defense in the country. Over. I'll go under. I'll go under the wildcats to lead the nation though in field goal percentage 54.7. I mentioned scoring points per game, offensive efficiency. They're the best from inside the three point arc 61.6% and have more assist per game than any team in the nation 21.5. Right now, Tommy Lloyd has a team that's won 24 straight games at home and in 47 games so far in a Tommy Lloyd Arizona has shot better than 50% from the field in 29 of those games. I don't think that will happen. I think Tennessee's defense will actually have an impact there. Tommy load does do well against ranked teams, 8 and three against top 25 opponents and three and one against top ten teams since Lloyd got there. And it's the last 13 home games against top ten teams, Arizona is ten and three. I actually think that Kirk Reese will be a big guy in this kind of game. He's been pretty good at being distributor on the floor averaging 7 times a game. That's top 5 in the country. I will also take Arizona to win in this spot. This is a frigging fret. Just a fantastic way to wrap up Saturday night. I think Tennessee will muck it up, and it will keep it lower scoring. If you tell me right now, the final score of this game is an 79 65, I'm gonna tell you Arizona wins the whole way. Hard to see how Tennessee could win a game like that. But I think Arizona will win and I'll go 70 70 to 62 Tennessee has some success at slowing it down. Usually the teams that play fast versus team to play slow the slow team often will win that fight, but because of Arizona size with tubeless and Bala who have been awesome and Kirk Reese has been terrific. We agree we will both take Arizona to cover on that. GP mentioned at the top real quick just a few other games to be aware of. The only one on Friday that I would really pay attention to is create net marquette 8 30 on Fox Sports one. Creighton's trying to avoid void yes, a 6 consecutive loss and they got to go on the road and play at marquette, a marquette team that may well wind up being good enough to make the NCA tournament. So that's one to keep an eye on on Friday. The biggest one on Saturday that we did not get to Indiana at Kansas. The crossroads classic is no more. The four team Notre-Dame Purdue butler Indiana neutral court one day double heter affair that they did for a decade. It was a good event, but frankly, if it needs to go on indefinite hiatus and we get games like KU Indiana, that's quite the awesome tradeoff there. And Galen hood, the question is can he go if he goes, how available will he be? Because if he's not there, asking trace Jackson Davis to cover up for a lot of what they're going to need to do on the road is asking a lot there. And Xavier Johnson might have to do a ton. Jalen Wilson, by the way, 22 points a game right now, 9.4 rebounds help you going up against Jackson Davis, 16.8 points, 8.4 rebounds. That's going to be a nice little head to head match up there. Before I get to the rest of the slate, their GP just want to give a couple quick words or thoughts or anything on hoosiers at jayhawks here, because beyond all, beyond the matchup and two intriguing teams, we've got two blue Bloods playing what we always we clamor for this and it's great to see that the coaches made this happen. It's going to be Indiana going into Kansas City joint and then they'll return the favor next year and that's just a good it's a great thing for college basketball to have that as your wallpaper on a Saturday. You turn on your television early in the afternoon and you see those two teams playing in a true road slash home environment and it just makes the day feel that much bigger. It's awesome. We're going to have a big time match up on Virginia's campus, a big time matchup. On Kansas campus, that's where college basketball belongs. I understand the. Money making decisions that lead to games. South Dakota, Brooklyn, and The Bahamas and you name it. I got it. I understand why, if I run into college basketball program, we'd be going to Brooklyn two, all right? I understand. But undeniably, it is just better when you take these exact same games and put them in a true home road environment. So I love when programs and I love what all programs do this, but especially the big boy programs, like Indiana, like Kansas, I think under John Shire, you're gonna see duke do this more than it did under Mike chiswick. Like I think John understands and they've scheduled him home with Arizona that'll start. Next season. Right. So I think John's going to be willing to take the blue Devils onto other people's campuses more than Mike was willing to, which again is awesome. As I've said many times, this is not college football where one loss can prevent you from making the playoff in for our purposes the NCA tournament. Really, there's not a loss you can schedule in November or December. That's gonna cost you the opportunity to be a one seed in the entire tournament. So I wish more coaches would focus on that. Like, hey, let's go, let's go, let's go play this big game. And if we win it, whoo, how awesome is that? And if we lose it, you know what? Not that big of a deal. Either way, we create a great moment memory everything for our program. I wish more coaches would do it and we've got multiple examples of that coming up this weekend. A couple more games, then we'll get out of here just to keep an eye on 6 eastern Saturday CBS Sports Network. You've got the holy war, so BYU is going to host Utah. Utah's 9 and two, you talk and get a road win there, you know, maybe just a PAC 12 team that's slowly maybe building an at large resume, keep an eye on that.

He thought things are going to be Greg mackerel. I think it already. No, he would be great. But I'm going to say something, man. Let's talk football a minute, me and you get real. Okay. Okay. Because you know, man, you know, football. I'm going to tell you something I have fell out of love with. And that is lame kip. All right, as far as I'm concerned, auburn could have laying caffeine. I wouldn't lose one and to sleep over. And I'm going to tell you why. The more I watch football, the more I fall out of love with these coaches that love analytics. Also sick of hearing the word analytic that I could bring vomit all, I could bring vomit. One lane kissing goes sport in the first quarter on his own 36 yard line and misses it, and he says, that's what the analytics tells him to do. I'm standing on that lot to the TV betting on his sorry. I asked thank you. That's the dumbest stuff I've ever seen in my freaking life. All these analytic cultures fall. You can have them. I don't want them. I need a coach that can read the game and see how it's progress and a long singing who's kicking ass and who's not. I don't need a seat or a computer to tell me to end entities of a football game as I'm watching it. I want the same thing with the pirate. Dog boy and three times. All four times. What the hell are you doing? Nothing against all Obama. What the hell are you doing? I mean, I hear it every weekend, Paul, you watch it. I watch football 1 o'clock in the morning. I'm seeing teams down 14 points in the fourth quarter, store to get within 8. And these idiots go for two and miss it because the analytics total to do it. What the hell is going on? You can keep all these damn analytic cultures and give me a real coach that can read the game. Are you with me on yesterday on this ball? I'm a 100% with you. I said something a couple of weeks ago about kiff and going forward. And next thing you know, he sent me a note correct to me and he gets what he gave me. The analytics. And I wanted to say, did you get did you get it or not? He didn't get it. I don't care what the analytics say. Really the M and lyrics are counting as computers will screw you up and that's in the NFL. I watched the Steelers one night get about a 9 to 20 times in a row to do this score. He didn't Irish but one of y'all to care and it's in the analytics kept telling him he was bad at mama, but he's sorry and NFL tell me to bend his ass and put the next guy in. Now I'm carrying. You can keep all these analytics coaches like the pirate and lane kill but I have bought in some completely out of love the most overused word in football now is analytics. You don't need those down computer to figure out who's breaking balls, who's talking to somebody in the dirt. You don't need analytics, you just need an old fashioned mic that can ask Coke that can read the damn thing. Give me a Jimmy Johnson. That's why I love about Nick. Maybe that's Pete donuts downfall. Maybe it's an analytics are telling this crap. It's time to get back some real. You can have all the analytics coaches Paul. I'm just done with them.

"Is up next in Louisville. Hey, John. Hey, good afternoon. Nevertheless, I pray for the next coach that goes there. Absolutely. I think we have something in common. Neither of us won the Powerball, right? I've never even played it. It was only a $1 billion last night. I don't know who needs him but who needs a billion when you can work for free. Yeah, I love what you do, right? Hey, click, I've got some questions for you, but a quick update on that Michigan situation. You'll find this interesting, but the player that was held down and hit with a helmet, several times. He hired Tom Mars as his attorney. You know who that is, right? I sure do. Yeah. And so I think the charge there will be a self charges, but there'll be misdemeanors, but the one with the helmet could end up being a felony, but the most interesting part of that new video that came out from all people ESPN. It shows Michigan states star defensive player, I think his name is Jacobi Whitman, holding down the Michigan player why the other guy hits him with a helmet. And yet Tucker didn't suspend him. I find that interesting. I think I think they added four more to this afternoon. And that's the amazing thing is that it took that video. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I just read that about an hour ago, but how it took this long for them to get that information I'll never know. And I'm underwhelmed by all the statements and the fake outrage by the president of Michigan state and by Tucker in the AD. I mean, it's complete nonsense. Well, the outgoing MSU presidency seems sincere, but not Tucker Tucker hasn't even called Jim Harbaugh yet. So enough with him. But let me double check, I think, yeah, Jacoby, winman has now been suspended. Yeah. He was holding them down while the other got him with a helmet. So it would be interesting to see Tom Mars now suing for money instead of helping players transfer. Paul, I want to ask you two questions. One thing about Tom Mars, though. He comes with a media entourage. That's his calling card. Well, absolutely. And by the way, where are you this weekend? Athens. Oh, okay. Yeah, of course. By the way, NASA. Paul, just your quick thoughts. I'm not really interested in what the CFP comes up with tonight, but who are the top 14 right now forget about strength of schedule, strength of resume, strength of record, who are the four best teams and lastly, who's the best Heisman player right now in your mind? I believe Ohio State is the best team today. Because just from a complete resume, right. And as I've always added to the caveat, it doesn't matter who the best team is today. The best team next week will be the winner in Athens. Because that's just so easy. I think Georgia or Tennessee could be number one tonight and then that will settle itself. I think the school that needs to be concerned though is Michigan and Clemson, Michigan if it loses little House state. I think it has no path. Their non conference schedule is weak and I think Clemson is pretty vulnerable too. Yeah, I agree. A weak schedule for Michigan and Clemson is barely gotten by some mediocre teams. But I'll tell you what concerns me about Ohio State. They hadn't had a running game in several games. I looked at, I watched the Penn State game. They had 98 yards and 26 carries. Take away that 44 yard run and they had like 55 yards and 25 carries. They absolutely need to get their running game together. And I agree with you on that. But leave it to James Franklin and Penn State to make yourself make you feel better. That's what makes James Franklin James Franklin. James James Franklin, agent and Mel Tucker's agent. I don't know who they are, but I want to hire them. Paul scale one to ten, all these rumors coming out about different coaches for auburn. Is that Jimmy Sexton? I firmly believe it is Jimmy Sexton. And I'll go ahead and tell you this just you and me talking here. It's not that I distrust the media. But the media now has anyone in the media that claims they have an inside source on this auburn thing or clueless, because I don't believe anybody. Lil, how about Rick from yesterday? Well, he predicted that. Other than you know who we owned. You know who he knows in the administration. His sister's a janitor there. Hey, by the way. The people, those are the people that know the most, as White House butlers have shown us over the years because no one really thinks that they're telling anybody. I was in a car a couple of weeks, a couple of months ago with somebody in Washington, D.C. and I was yapping away and the guy looked at me like, hey, that driver is probably leaking this to some publications. So I've said, okay, you're right. But in the end, I think section controls the media. He controls the ADs. He controls everything in college sports. Last question, Paul, who's who you have for Heisman at this point. Right, right now it's in hooker, but I think CJ Stroud would be his stiffest competition. Great. Thanks. Thank you very much. We'll take a short break. We have 30 minutes remaining here on a Tuesday afternoon. Nobody protects you from mayhem like Allstate. I'm

"Have left and for whatever reason they didn't. And those people who stayed formed a nucleus that I think to this day is really kind of leading this team. I mean, all of those guys who are the main leaders on this team, every single one of them, including hooker, who had just gotten in town, all of them were there when that went down and they stayed. And I think that's kind of they kind of looked at each other that spring and said, you know what? This is who we've got. This is who we can trust. Everybody who didn't want everyone who didn't want to be here, they left. And I think those guys who were there, you combine that with a really good offensive mind, a really good offense. You start to believe that's the simple thing is you look around, you look at the people to your left and your right and you find belief in them. Wes Rucker, joining us. We talk all the time about Josh schuylkill and nobody will take anything away from him. But I hear a lot more. I hear a lot of things privately about some of his top assistants. Talk about them for a second because obviously depending on how this season goes, the staff is going to get a lot of not scrutiny, but celebration and attention, who else is making this thing happen. Well, I think I would probably start in some ways. Behind the scenes con was Rodney Garner, I think the way he's kind of built that defensive line, that toughness into the team. Of course, he's not an up and comer in the business. I think everybody and their mother knows Rodney. But you know, I think that toughness he's put into the defensive line has really kind of been big for this team. But then you look at the offense and everybody on that staff is going to be somewhere soon potentially as a head coach. I mean, Alex goal is the offensive coordinator. I'm pretty sure the only coach in the southeastern conference born in Russia is he has such great backstory. It was actually maybe the Soviet Union when he was born there. But he's a brilliant offensive mind. He's going to get a lot of attention. Joey Halsey, the quarterbacks coach, is a guy who could either be offensive coordinator when goal ish leaves if he does, or he could go be the offensive coordinator of Tennessee. Jerry max a guy who was a really good coach in North Carolina central has had some really good success at the HBCU level. It's a good running backs coach. They just they've got guys on that staff who kind of sing off the same M sheet and they believe in what they're doing. And what they're doing scheme wise. I mean, Paul, every single week, especially without Cedric Tillman out there. Everyone knows, you have to guard Jalen Hyatt. You got to pay attention to our number 11 is. And every week he's catching three or four balls like 20 yards behind the defense and you're going, how is this happening? Well, they're scheming it. They're really, really good at what they do and what they do is really hard to stop. So it kind of reminds me in some ways not identically. But kind of like when spurrier got to Florida, the league just didn't really know what to do with that offense. And I think what Tennessee is doing right now, this is a copycat league, a copycat sport. Tennis is either going to have to pay these guys even more money or they're going to lose some of them. So interesting to hear, you talk about that. Let me ask you about this game a year ago. And accepting that things were different and Georgia had arguably the best defense we've ever seen. What happened in that game to hindon hooker? I mean, I remember a quick start and then it seemed like it came undone. Well, that Georgia defense was pretty darn historically stout. And I think what happened was Tennessee did what it normally does. No matter how much you prepare for them during the week, you really can't prepare for them. So their first couple of possessions are kind of like money in the bank. They're just going to put if you do a really great job, they may be only get ten points in their first two possessions. And last year against Georgia in the first quarter, I think they had three possessions, ten points. Then Georgia made some tweaks, Tennessee, missed a couple of throws in the wheels just kind of came off. And I think the lack of defensive depth, which Tennessee doesn't have a lot of dudes on defense right now, but it's got a bunch of guys. They can rotate guys in all day long and they stay fresh relatively and that's going to help them and it has helped them in some games this season. But last season, if I'm being honest since hypo has been at Tennessee last year, Georgia in the final three quarters was the only time I've seen somebody stop this offense. There have been times where they didn't have great days, but just about every possession they've not scored the past two years, I can point to a drop pass, a penalty. They're not getting stopped. They're stopping themselves when they stop. And that was the problem early this season. They stopped themselves a few times. But last year, against Georgia, that defense actually stopped them. Now, can that defense do this again against a better Tennessee team with the Georgia defense that's not what it was last season? I don't know. It's in Athens. That's going to help them. But that team just kind of put a I used to call it the Bama boa constrictor when Bama did it to people. The final like 40 minutes or so of a game, they just kind of slowly start to suffocate you. And that's why George did Georgia did a Tennessee last season. I'm sure that's what they're going to want to do again this year. Incredible analysis. Great stuff. As always, from Wes Rucker. Wes. Thank you very much. We look forward to chatting soon. No problem. Paul. Great stuff. Really, a phenomenal conversation there. We are heading to a break. Phone calls, the rest of the way.

"Spoiler alert, Tiger Woods 6 over 78 in the first round. He has tied for a 146th. He's going to have to do something real special tomorrow to make it to the weekend of the open championship. Big 12 media days predicted order of finish Baylor bears predicted for the first time in history to be the champions of the big 12, 17 first place, vote. So we head out to Oklahoma, of course. The phone lines are open, the rest of the way. Mike and Oklahoma, Mike, welcome to the show, sir. How are you? Yes, I'm fine. Thank you very much for taking my call today. I appreciate your filling in for Paul and you guys are all doing a great job. Well, thank you. I appreciate it, Mike. Oh, that's awesome. I'm calling today about horns down that you've brought up numerous times today on the show. And to me, I am a senior fan, but it's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever seen. And so it all comes back. You would prefer they do not do it, is what you're saying. No, I would prefer that anyone can do what they want as well as it's like you said, not throwing the bird at someone. You know, this is something that Texas has a lot of pride. They have and for good reason. It's a heck of a state. But they have an old saying there don't mess with Texas. And they truly believe that. And so they don't like anyone to enforce on anything of their rights and to the point also that years ago, people used to produce hats and shirts with the upside down LongHorn emblem on it. And they got that stop as well. So I don't even know how you do that. Thank you, Mike, for the phone call. And I appreciate the kind words. How do you get a clothing? How do you get clothing shirt? Like, I don't know how a university can do that. Texas, Texas, yeah, that's right. They're all about the rights. Well, maybe not all of them. I think if a Texas LongHorn player scores a touchdown and throws hook them up in the air, which we all think is totally fine, right? It's not against the rules. It's not a penalty. We all think it's great. How is that not taunting the defensive player? I mean, if we're going to use this silly ridiculous way of defining a taunting penalty, is if I turn my hand one direction down versus up, but like I can't do it down, but you can do it up. Like, I don't understand. Honestly, I don't understand. Again, Florida Gators players score touchdowns and do the gator chomp. How is that not taunting by this definition? And again, my argument is it should all be allowed. I'm with Mike on this. It's ridiculous that we stop kids from having fun. You're telling me, you're telling me that just because you can't hear it, that there's not trash talk going on, that people don't say absurdly ridiculous and probably very offensive things to each other on a football field. Of course they do. You know, if I scored a touchdown at all miss, I'd be running past defensive players, yelling hotty toddy, the whole way back to the bench. So I just, to me, it's ridiculous. It's sucking the fun out of everything. And I know every big 12 team and a lot of SEC teams, like they have a lot of hand gestures, right? Like everybody's got like, you got sick them, you got gig on, which is a and M and you got the guns up right by Texas tech. Like, what are we doing? What do we do? We try to legislate this crap. It's ridiculous. Like kids have fun. Greg and Mississippi Greg, welcome to the Paul 5 bomb show. How are you? Hey, I appreciate you, Brady. I always been a longtime fan going back to ya long days. I guess I'm a gallbladder fan. I can say it. Thank you. Couple of questions for you, man. If you were taking a shot at a future on a team, kind of like Michigan last year who made the playoff, though I didn't think a lot of people saw that coming with the pressure, however I was out there. Who would you look for this year? You know, you have your, you know, your favorites like man, a Georgia Ohio State, but is there somebody maybe a Wisconsin or somebody may be a Big Ten maybe USC who you think could get there and then my other question are they saying anything about the fans being allowed I guess in the hotels there at the media days in Atlanta, I've been to that Omni. I've seen that looks like that ball of fame is closed those days of the media days. I just want to know if you had heard anything. You're doing a good job, man. Enjoy, you're going to tailgate. I hope you're on the tailgate show again, Saturday this year. Yeah, man, I appreciate the call. Thank you, Greg. I was there at the event last time it was in Atlanta. And I don't believe I don't believe it was open the college football Hall of Fame. So I don't know. I would hope that they allow some places to be open. Now I think they had I want to say like, Bernstein and Chris doering were doing their show from in there maybe. Like I can't remember exactly, but I think we could, I don't think it's open, but God, I hope it is for fans. It's a beautiful building. It's an awesome place to go. Now, how deep do you want me to go on who I think a playoff contender is if you're trying to make some money and you're trying to find some value and make a value play on who you think is going to make the playoff. I would do a couple of different things to eliminate some teams. And then sort of make your choice. To me, if you are in the PAC 12, the big 12 or the ACC, I think you've got a chance in a path to the playoff. Number one, if you're in the Big Ten or the SEC, I think you were path is much more difficult and you have to be far more perfect. If you're a and M, Michigan, you know, any of those second place teams. Tennessee, Kentucky, you know, Wisconsin, Iowa, perdue. If you're any of those teams, which are all good teams, you still have to get through Bama Georgia, Ohio State. And I don't know if that's possible. So I would look at the big 12 the PAC 12 and the ACC. And if you don't want to play the favorite, which in the ACC is Clemson, I think playing a big 12 team is smart. I like Baylor. I like Oklahoma. The long shot I really like would probably be Miami, they've got a path to win their division. They could get to the conference championship game. They play a big non conference game with a and M that if they win becomes a giant resume builder, and they've got a star quarterback. Tyler Van Dyke. To me, it's sort of a formula. Utah is a great play in my opinion. Returning star quarterback best offensive line, one of the best defenses in America. They play a road game against Florida that they probably should win. Even if it's a close point spread, and that gives them an opportunity that if they slip up one time in conference play, you talk and get into the playoff as a one loss champion. Oregon is a good play in my opinion. I like Oregon as a smart long shot to make the playoff. If they get good quarterback play, that's the bigger question there. That's kind of why I like Miami and Utah. I have bigger questions about the Miami team around Tyler Van Dyck than I do anything else. They also play a pretty tough schedule inside the ACC. I think Notre-Dame schedules too hard. I think Michigan schedules sets up nicely, but they have to play out Ohio State. I wouldn't touch USC. I wouldn't touch them. I think USC is defensively. They've got way too many questions on that side of the ball. For me, for my taste. Oklahoma states not a bad play. I could put a few a few shekels

"All that sort of stuff. And I think that with the big 12, you know, at this point, you can't sort of make the same sort of arguments about them being the best in the biggest and most powerful conference. But what I do think that you can do is trying to find ways to brand yourself as an institution. You can brand yourself as in some ways your ties to Texas, right? I mean, there are going to be four schools in the state of Texas in the conference. I think that he used those words about trying to get younger and a little bit more sleek. And I think that some of that is going to be in terms of presentation. I think that some of that's going to be in terms of marketing things like that. And look, some of this is up in the air, right? A lot of stale business leaders over the course of history have gone in this kind of way. But with his background in New York, which is background with the Brooklyn Nets with his background working for Jay-Z for roc nation. He is somebody who has been around these sorts of conversations before, instead it'll be interesting to see what kind of plans he has to create that kind of brand value for the week. You know, it's funny you mentioned, that was my first thought was, could you control Texas after the big brands that are in the SEC, which is obviously a and M, Texas and Oklahoma. If you've got the four that you've got, you've still got SME, you've got UTS a coming off the best season they've had in a long time. You tep is a pretty decent program when they're good. Is there a thought that you could kind of make yourself a heartland conference where people are still crazy for football, unlike maybe the West Coast? Yeah, I definitely think so. I mean, one thing that we heard from a couple of coaches today, especially, is that what sets this conference apart is that you go to basically every market in the conference and people are a football crazy, right? I mean, certainly Kansas will be the one exception. But at West Virginia, in the state of Florida where you see us is coming in in Ohio, we're Cincinnati's coming in. You've got some really, really motivated, dedicated football fans. The fan bases aren't quite the size of some of the biggest ones in college football, but I do think that you can sell being a motivated product. I think you can sell obviously the quality of football that's being played. I think the group of coaches in the conference right now is in a really good place. And so I do think that that's going to be a central part of their messages, hey, look, if you love football, here are places that love football that you should consider going. And especially when you're comparing it to the ACC and the PAC 12, especially, which again, there's going to be a big two. There's going to be the SEC and the Big Ten. You know, when you're trying to position yourself as that third conference, I think that having a lot of interest from people across the country and your product is only a good thing. Shahan J Raja joining us here from CBS sports covering the big 12. Now, I am actually fascinated by and I think this is going to happen even after Texas and Oklahoma leave, which is that one through, let's say, 11, although I'm a big believer in Lance lifehold in Kansas, this is an extremely balanced league. And it's really not that different this year. How much arguing did you guys do over your ballots in terms of who you picked actually win the thing? I know 6 different teams got a first place vote today. Yeah. I mean, it's huge, right? I think that this is going to be one of the most competitive conferences in the country. Baylor is picked number one in the preseason poll after winning last year. But from my perspective, there were 5 teams that I very seriously considered and my number one spot. And I think that on top of that, you do look at sort of that even that quote unquote bottom tier of teams, Texas tech, one 7 and 6 and won a bowl game last year. I think West Virginia, they bring in a former 5 star quarterback and JT Daniels, even look at Kansas, right? Kansas over there the last three games played really three competitive games against West Virginia TCU and of course against Texas. So I think that this is going to be a really tough league this year. You even look, I mean, Texas tech plays also Houston and North Carolina state and the non conference. West Virginia plays Virginia tech and Pitt. So I think this is going to be a highly competitive league and some feelings are definitely going to get hurt as a close games are decided. Is there anything to keep Oklahoma and Oklahoma state from keeping the bedlam series alive even after Oklahoma leaves? Is it just ego and hurt feelings that Mike Gundy is expressing? Yeah, I think it's a lot of hurt feelings, especially at Oklahoma states. Because I think that they feel in some ways that they're being abandoned by Oklahoma. Oklahoma and Oklahoma state have been in the same conference since 1960. They've played this game since 1910. And I think that in some ways feeling like Oklahoma left them for dead in some ways in this sort of unraveling Vic 12 and didn't try harder to either get them into the SEC or put them in a good position. I think that that really makes them it's one thing to have sports features. I think it's another thing to have sort of frustration at being left behind in subway. So I definitely think that Oklahoma state might take a little longer to make that rivalry come back on the football field at least I expect in other sports. It'll come back much sooner. And I think that my gun is going to be a big part of that. He said that media days basically bedlam as it is is dead after Oklahoma leaves because it won't be a conference game and because we won't be guaranteed to play it every year. I expect at some point it'll come back. I think that it's too important to the states not to do it. We got to talk to Matt Campbell at Iowa state about this and he really talked up the idea of how Iowa versus Iowa state is a huge game that matters to a lot of people and it's just such a great thing for the state of Iowa. I think eventually we'll reach that point with bedlam, but I think it's going to take a little longer because I think my gun is going to be a pretty loud voice in the room. Mike Gundy never overreacting with his feelings and emotions. It's never happened. It's never happened. Shay Han. Thank you so much, man. We appreciate it, buddy. Yeah, thank you so much for having me. Absolutely. Shahan, Jey Raja, from CBS sports, good stuff there. Good follow on the Twitter Twitter machine as well. Yeah, the Iowa state thing is the obvious you point to it and go look, it happens all the time. Happens every year they play it every year, it's incredibly important to the state. People love it. It's important, make it happen. Mike Gundy's feelings right now, it looks like. It sounds like are going to get in the way of that. I guess it's his prerogative. If he wants to hurt his fan base, take away most important game of the year. My name is Brandon Gaul, 855-242-7285 your calls are next. This is

"So there's one other thing that happened at big 12 media days. But I think we need to address. And I might have gone on a bit of a rant about this. Braden Gaul in for Paul Flynn Paul fine bomb show. ESPN radio 855-242-7285 got phone calls here. The rest of the way if you want to chime in, 855-242-7285. Tell me how awful my college football takes are, how awesome my music taste is, because I just have great music taste. I'm just going to tell you. That's just the way it is. Fitzy, by the way, used to be my co host here locally. He'll back me up on this. So here's something that I saw today at big 12 media day that it just drives me nuts. Drives me absolutely bonkers. So they had to talk about the horns down thing. Again today with the big 12 head of officiating. Basically, the head of officiating in the big 12 is apologizing to everybody because he's like, look, guys, I'm so sorry. I know I'm going to get a bunch of emails from Oklahoma people. I'm so sorry. But you can not throw horns down during a football game. You can't throw it out of player. You can't do it after a touchdown. You just can't throw horns down. It is, I don't know what it is. Disrespectful taunting, I guess. I don't know. I'm just not sure what, what is it then? If that is the case, now listen, I am not talking about throwing birds at people, right? If somebody's going to run down the field and throw up some birds at some students or some fans, like, I'm okay with throwing a penalty on that. That ain't cool. But isn't every single hand gesture every player does in celebration also technically taunting? You know what I mean? Like if I score touchdown and I'm a Florida gator and I do a chomp. Isn't that taunting? If I'm a Florida state player and I score touchdown and I start running down the field, tomahawk chopping, isn't that taunting? In this sense of the word, like I disagree, I think none of it should be taunting. It's all called sports. And it's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be a game. We're supposed to have fun. So I don't know, to me, I get it why the official head of officials had to talk about it at big 12 media days, but I just think it's ridiculous. Suck in the fun out of the game. This is what it is. CBS sports reporter covering the big 12 and I will ahead of time apologize because I've talked to this guy. I've talked to you many times on Twitter and I've never said your name out loud. So I'm going to try to get it right. Shahan Jey rajah. Did I get that right? Si Han, are you there? Yes, yes, now I think you got me. Yeah, you nailed it. I got it right. All right, thank you. You got it. Thanks for joining us. That's all I needed. I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. No problem. Thank you so much for having me. You can check them out on Twitter, of course, shahan Jay Raja, CBS sports at the big 12 media event. Just your personal opinion on the horns down thing. I know it's never going to change and they are what they are, but are we not taking some of the fun out of the game by not allowing players to just sort of do what they want to do with hand gestures on the field? Yeah, I mean, I feel like the excitement of college football is just getting to enjoy some of these things. Getting to hate your rival is getting to talk trap and I mean, look, in the state of Texas, where I'm from, the University of Texas is the standard, and I think the idea of people being able to kind of express themselves and do that sort of thing. I think it's just fun, right? It's harmless. It doesn't, I don't think it really demeans much of anybody. I think it's more of a compliment to the standard that Texas that historically. So I think it's silly, but unfortunately I don't make the rules. Well, I wish you did, man. Let's go back to Brett York mark's opening remarks, the first time commissioner of the big 12, of course, he comes from a big business NBA background. What did you make of how he delivered his prepared statements? We know that the substance of the message, which is we're open for business. We're going to do the best thing we can for the big 12 in terms of negotiating a new television contract. What did you make about how we handled the entire event? Are you impressed with the leadership skills? Do you have questions? What did you make of his performance? Yeah, I was pretty impressed and especially after talking to some other people around the periphery. I mean, they seem very impressed with what Brett your mark was able to do. You know, I mean, certainly like any opening statement, there were some buzz words, right? Young and hip is probably not something that's going to stick her out for a long time, but I think that ultimately what he brings to the table is somebody who comes from the outside world. Somebody who understands how to generate revenue in a pro sports set, somebody who understands how to maximize brand value. You know, he was the guy who was in charge of the net moving to Brooklyn and having to rebrand themselves as Brooklyn's team. And so obviously a college conference is a little bit different than that. It's going to be a different challenge, but I think that he has a good understanding of some of the off field stuff that certainly I've been looking on the SSD network that the NCC has done exceptionally well over the years that I think that the big 12 has struggled doing. And I think that some of those off field considerations are going to play a big part and being able to recoup some brand value. Joining us here from CBS sports covering the big 12 and I guess do you get a sense I would like to talk about actual football in a second, but do you get a sense about where their actions may lie, like where their focus is? Is it, you know, he used the phrase defined point of difference. What does that mean? I think that more than anything else, they want to, again, I go back to that word brand and brand is obviously kind of a giant buzzword in some ways, but I go back to the SEC, right? The SEC, I think, has done a tremendous job of establishing a brand. It just means more culture. This is the best.

"Show with Stephen Colbert. Listen to the Late Show pod show with Stephen Colbert on Spotify, blue fee, or wherever you get your podlings. So it's now official. It wasn't when I woke up this morning. It became official, as I was rubbing my eyes, Kentucky, North Carolina, 5 30 p.m. eastern on Saturday on CBS, sports, not the game, we expected the watch, but still two global programs, still a fun matchup. I'll be there. It will be there. That's right. Sorry, I'm sending out a tweet in real time for people to come watch. Thank you to our live listeners continue to like, subscribe, comment. We appreciate you. This is a big game for both these teams. Both preseason top 25 teams. Both teams that I anticipated would be in the conversation to Kentucky. I thought it would be in the three seed realm. Once we got to march, Carolina, I was more, let's say 6 seed. Right now, Caroline is going Caroline is trending better right now than Kentucky is. Would you agree with that? Well, Carolina is at least, you know, after a less than ideal start, Carolina has looked like a better version of itself. Over the past couple of weeks, whereas Kentucky, you know, it's December 17th and they still have beaten nobody and lost to both good teams that they play. That's right. By the way, in real time here, CBS we now have a triple header. Triple header, Louisville versus western Kentucky is going to air at 3 p.m. eastern on Saturday on CBS. The first game will be Gonzaga versus Texas tech at a Phoenix at the Jerry colonial classic. We're going to get to that later in our picks. And GP and I will be on CBS sports headquarters before that game tips off. But I literally just landed to Louisville western Kentucky will be part of a triple header. It will be a single header in Las Vegas. Carolina has been able to win 5 straight games, including a home win over a Michigan team that's obviously slumping. They want to at Georgia Tech. And they look good in a second half rally versus Furman, Kentucky hasn't played since the loss against Notre-Dame. Right now, Kentucky needs this more desperately, although Carolina could really use it to get a nice neutral court when I saw him in person when the lost perdue antennae at the Hall of Fame classic in mohegan sun, what was that three weeks ago there? So yeah, a compelling game. Caroline attempts to bring out the best in Kentucky, Vegas was actually the site where I was not there, were you there? Yeah. Yeah. That is the Kentucky North Carolina game. I remember most. I mean, they played in the elite 8 at FedEx forum a few years ago. That was terrific. That was Lonzo and deer and fox, I think. And I believe that's the dieron fox like balling his eyes out after losing knocking to the final four. I'm pretty sure that's what happened in the locker room afterward, like a very famous viral clip that happened there. But yeah, these teams, by the way, also play this situation, Kentucky Carolina fans will remember everyone else probably forgets because it's all the stuff ones together. This exact same situation materialized a year ago. Kentucky played Carolina in the CBS sports classic, which was in Cleveland without fans when you say I couldn't play. So they are playing them back to back seasons. Last season, Kentucky, which obviously had a bad season. They lost to UNC 75, 63, and we'll see if the script gets flipped this year. Yeah, well, hold on. I would say Lonzo Ball. There was a UCLA, was it UCLA Kentucky in the NCAA tournament? No, it was Luke may hit in the shot to beat Kentucky. You didn't say Lonzo Ball. Yeah. It was Kentucky Carolina because Luke may hits the shot to send Carolina to the final four. Remember? I've got it now. So Kentucky played UCLA in the sweet 16. About a bang. And then played North Carolina in the elite 8. Were you on hand there? Were you in studio for CBS? Because that was you were I was not in office. I was you know, they don't let me go to Memphis because you live in Memphis. I would love to go to Memphis, but I have yet to ever be there. Memphis is the home base for CBS sports dot com between me and David Cobb. That's correct. Although he's not in Memphis anymore. So never mind on that. By the way, you're going to have to vamp here. Things have been so nice. I've been in my office. I don't have my computer plug. And we are live. I have to go and get my computer plug downstairs. This is going to take about two minutes. So you're just going to talk about the I got to go get my plug. Talk about the matchup. I'll be back. I gotta plug this thing in because I can not have my computer in real time on this podcast. I'll see you later, dead leg. I'll take it by myself. So it's Kentucky North Carolina here in Vegas and New Orleans brought up. The most memorable, I think probably the most memorable CBS sports classic game was that Kentucky, North Carolina game a few years ago, when Malik monk went wild to lift the wildcats to a victory. And so now you've got two teams playing on Saturday. And I think north orland is right. Kentucky probably needs this more desperately and I use that word loosely. December, there's nothing desperate about anything between two power conference teams, this early in the calendar, because if you're in the SEC or the ACC, you've got plenty of opportunities in front of you, regardless of what happens on December 18th. Not so much the case if you're saying AAC team or an Atlantic tin team or somebody who's not playing in a league with a number of other teams that are projected to make the instantly tournament that have strong computer numbers that can give you quad one opportunities in quad two opportunities. But if you play in the SEC or the ACC, you're gonna have those shots all throughout the month of January all throughout the month of February throughout the first few weeks of March. So there's nothing desperate about it. But if you were, I think, trying to identify which team needs this more, I think it probably is Kentucky because. Season opener, they play duke. And they only lost by 8, but they so clearly look like the inferior team. They didn't look as talented. They didn't look as athletic. They didn't look as good. And then they played 7 straight games against mostly nothing. Ohio's in there. Ohio's oh, a good mid major team. But it's a good mid major team. You're not supposed to blink at Ohio.

"At North Carolina and Marcus Carr. So I had obviously at Texas. So I had those three on my teams. The guys that made our teams that I did not vote for trace Jackson Davis at Indiana, Jay navy at Purdue and how many hackers at UCLA. So neither one of us voted for ivy. And hakkas, I didn't vote for a photo for either one of them. So I guess my ballot would have Gonzaga would have been the only team to have multiple players as all Americans and I did have Timmy first team and I had homegrown on the third team and we talked about this before how unique it is that there's a team in the country that has a guy who is the I guess consensus preseason national player of the year. I haven't seen anybody else name anybody else. And also have the guy who was the number one recruit in his class in coming. And you know, they're two different guys. And we sort of wondered like, is that happen before? And we got a nice text from Matt pliszka, who is an SID at Pitt now, but previously was at duke. And he brought up a really good example and it's 2010, 2011, duke, which is a team he worked with because the Cal singer coming back, who was a preseason first team all American and they had Kyrie Irving in rolling. Who was obviously the subsequent number one pick in the 2011 NBA draft. I went and looked it up singler was the leading vote getter for the preseason AP all American team that season. And Kyrie was ranked second in his high school class. So it doesn't quite fit because homegrown number one in his high school class. But, you know, but if I remember correctly at CBS sports dot com, we had Harrison Barnes, preseason national player of the year and obviously preseason national freshman of the year because he was the number one recruit in the country. So that's the closest example we can come up with having Cal single coming back to school as a preseason all American first team and enrolling Kyrie Irving. But it doesn't quite match what Gonzaga has on paper right now in drew Timmy and Jed Hong Kong. Trivia time. Lay it on me. That pre season AP all American team, 2010, 2011. Oh, boy. It included. Kal singer. Okay. Jimmer for debt. Okay. Harrison Barnes. Juwan Johnson. And a big 12 player. Can you name the big club player? Man. This is too hard. I think I can do it. We're talking 2010, 2011? Yes. You got to tell me if it's Kansas or not? It's not Kansas and it's not Texas. I'll tell you in flavor. Either one of those schools. This was my first full season working with CBS. Let's see how closely you paid attention to me. You would have done. So you did this before I joined. I joined in the AP all American team. Yeah, okay. Okay. Had a beard. Here, you ready for this? Give it to me right now. I gotta put in a new. I gotta get a new audio drop for this. I'm gonna do it right now. I'm gonna get this. I'm going to get this. I'm going to throw my headphones down and you're going to close the podcast. I'm not even going to hear the rest of it. Three, two, one. Jacob pulling, give it to me. Jacob is the correct answer. A big 12 not a jayhawk not a LongHorn had a beard. Of course it's Jacob pulling, but I would not have gotten that in a million years. It was the first time I had seen or heard that name in years. When I was looking this up last night and saw the name of Jacob and it was calcium appreciating all Americans, Cal single, jimmer fredette, dewan Johnson Harrison Barnes, and yes, the bearded Kansas state wildcat. Jacob Poland. I mean, I did say it wasn't a long Lauren and wasn't a jayhawk and he had a beard. So that's what brought it to me. Yeah, that beer that Jacob pulling beard. By the way, for people who say that stuff doesn't matter, like it doesn't mean anything. Do you realize that last year, we had a preseason all American teams? And the first team, you know what it was? I can give you Jacob pulling. I can't get you last year. It was Luca Garza. I owed to sumo, Kate Cunningham, Corey kispert and Jared butler. We did pretty good job. Four of the 5 went on to be postseason, first team all Americans, and the only one that didn't was Jared butler, who was a second team all American for CBS sports and the final four, most outstanding player. So.

"360 five, the early 8 powered by sports line is all about daily best bets and having a whole heck of a lot of fun doing it. Download and follow the early edge on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and of course, YouTube. So we've also tabulated votes for our CBS sports preseason all American teams. Let me run you through them real quick. The first team is calling to lesbian from Villanova. Johnny Zhang from UCLA. Parliament Caro from duke drew Timmy from Gonzaga and Kofi coburn from Illinois. Let's stop there. Does that replicate your ballot? I had four of those guys on my first team. I did not have Colin Gillespie. I don't have any problem with Congress to be in there. Obviously, it totally reasonable. I had Macs instead of Colin Gillespie. Doesn't match. Our CBS sports preseason all America teams was a tabulation of writers at CVS sports dot com, a few from two four 7 sports, which is in partnership with CBS sports. And then every year in the preseason, we do get a handful of input from CBS and CBS Sports Network college basketball analysts. So we really have a big old mix here. And so no, I only have three of the 5 GP. My first team ballot was Timmy ban Caro coburn, and I think those Timmy and coburn were unanimous ban care. I think was, as well. And then I had I had nothing but bigs on mine because I don't abide by I don't care. This team has never playing any other team. I don't need to start with a point guard. And you know what? I take the starting 5 against almost anyone else anyway. Because I think big Carol could run the point. Timmy Ben Caro coburn, trace Jackson Davis of Indiana, and then produced travie on Williams. So yeah, three of my 5 are big men from the Big Ten. That was mine. So you had four to 5. I had three of the 5. Yeah, and juicing is somebody who just had a remarkable run late last season. He averaged 22.8 points in the incident late tournament at 20 8 in the elite 8 against Michigan, 29 in the final four against Gonzaga. And launched himself into a place where I think you could reasonably call him a preseason national player that your candidate and a first team preseason all American, especially considering he's not just somebody who posted big numbers, but he toast to big number for a team that is now ranked second in the preseason Timmy. Like we noted, preseason national player of the year, average 19 and 7 last season for a team that was undefeated on the night of the national championship game. Led Gonzaga last season and points rebounds blocks and field goal percentage. He was terrific, coburn, 17 and 7. I mean, 17.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game last season, big numbers. He's a monster. And then Colin Gillespie is again the other first teamer. You and I neither one voted for him, but he is, you know, a reigning biggie's player of the year who is back for a 5th season. You realize he's already played a 118 college basketball games. And now has an entire season in front of him. And could theoretically if Villanova went all the way. Yeah. He could get to a hundred and 58 career games, which would be a tie for the most played all time by a division one player. Trinity time. David leidy. Bang. You son of a. How did you know that? Come on, don't even question me on this. David lady, one of my I've mentioned this on a distant podcast in the past, one of my 20 favorite random college troopers of the past two decades. David lady. Yeah, that unfortunately, that record is going away this year, because there's going to be a lot of dudes that pass him. Charlie Morris passes David lady this year by the way. Down in Miami, fourth theme? Yeah. So you were so excited. I knew I thought I had you on that. I'm shocked. I looked it up, and I was like, this, they will never get this. Zip in your pitches right now. Tipping your pitches. There is another, there's one other player on our all American teams. Who has already played a 118 college games. That's already played that many? Yes. Buddy behind? No, it's Remy Martin. Remmy Martin, yeah, okay. I forgot he was on. Did not vote for remmy Martin. We'll get to that in a minute there. Second team is max 8 from oral Roberts, buddy beyon from Syracuse, EJ lid from Ohio State. Trace Jackson Davis from Indiana and hunter Dickinson from Michigan. A Smith is the guy I had first team. You know, there were four players who were postseason CBS sports all Americans last season that are back in college. It's true to me, Kofi coburn, hunter Dickinson and max agents. And so I wasn't gonna elevate anybody over where he was at the end of last season. Anybody who was returning to college. So that's why I ended up going a first team as opposed to Colin Gillespie who I had on the second team. A spis thing is just so interesting to me because he led the nation's scoring last season. I don't think we set.
