College Football Function: Heisman Contenders & Long-Shots / Coaching talk
This country was built on a distinctly American work ethic, but today, work is in trouble. We've outsourced most of our manufacturing to other countries, sending away good jobs and diminishing our capability to make things. American Giant is pushing back against that tide. They make the kind of high-quality clothing staples you need for a comfortable, stylish and active summer wardrobe. Like vintage-style teas, tough tank tops, breathable polos, lightweight sweatshirts, and so much more, all made right here in the USA. From growing the cotton to adding the final touches, so when you buy American Giant, you create jobs for seamsters, cutters, and factory workers in towns and cities across the United States. And it's about more than an income. Jobs bring pride, purpose, they stitch people together. Support America's workers and get 20% off your first order at American-Giant.com with promo code Staple20.

Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger-qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Like the facts, elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent.

You know the banker would be by now, right? You know that it's the intro, the sound, the theme, the college football function. You know the voice by now that it is CM, the host that knows the most about that college football that didn't see double A action, AKA CM Funk, AKA Andy's cousin, Mr. AKA. Just that's it, baby. All kinds of names you can call me. Yes or CM, school in you on the college football game because I love it. It is one of my true loves up there with women money and alcohol. You know what I'm saying, but I'm here again, guys. We are winding down the offseason period of just, I hate to say the word filler, but it really is. It's stuff to pass the time, you know, stuff to get you ready for this upcoming season. I'm coming at you guys August 21st. It is literally coming up in single digits. I do believe it starts. I want to say Wednesday, the 24th I want to say. I can't really remember. I'm not real sure. I'll have to look at my paper for my week zero slash week one preview show coming in or coming out within the next week or so, maybe even four or five days after this show drops, but this is the, this is the bow on my true off season stuff that I wanted to do. Like I said, I went through each conference twice, talked about numerous teams in each conference. I feel I broke down enough schedules and gave you guys enough stuff to listen to during the year. You can even go back, you know, even when say in October, when Mizzou is, you know, eight no, you can go back and listen and say, hey, you know, see him said, hey, watch out for the Missouri Tigers or he predicted the jam you dukes to get that 12 seed in this, you know, inaugural 12 team call football playoff coming out in December, it's just going to be a great year. But this is, this is it. I'm my last true off season show. I'm doing Heisman talk. I'm going to give you guys the usual suspects. It's going to be the, you know, the Georges and the Ohio states and Oregon and Texas is, you know, pretty much if you're ranked in the AP pre season top 25, more than likely you have somebody on your team more than likely it's going to be a quarterback. And that's going to host hoist at trophy, you know, that bronze trophy that weighs 45 pounds. And at the end of the year, it goes to the MVP of college football, you know, it's a very prestigious honor. I mean, I mean, it really is. I mean, it's everybody knows the Heisman everybody knows the pose. I mean, it is what it is. And I would love to go back through my, my clipboard and look up all of the guys that I talked about last year at exactly this time last year. And hopefully I talked about Jane Daniels. I really hope I did. I'm pretty sure I did, but a little bit of facts before I start going through, you know, these list of names and I'm kind of kind of do it like I did last year. I'm going to give you the usual suspects. I'm going to give you the common names, the names that you've probably heard over the day off season, not just with me, but with, you know, if you watch a certain, you know, sports channel, they talk about that person. It's just hype. You know what all it is? It's just getting you excited, getting you guys ready. So that, you know, in December, you know, in New York when they're having that Heisman ceremony, you'll know at least one, two, maybe even three, or maybe even all of them. Hell, I'd love to say so. Every single guy that's in that, you know, Heisman committee, that Heisman candidates at the end of the year, one of them's going to always set trophy, you know, and it changes your life. Everybody will say that. It's not very often the Heisman winner doesn't really pan out in the NFL. Is it a guarantee that you're going to step into NFL, you know, year one, year two, year three, and be the next Patrick Mahomes? Absolutely not. I mean, Patrick Mahomes wasn't even that great attack. You know, I had pretty good numbers, but he never won. I mean, Jake Daniels came from a nine-win team last year, a nine-in-three LSU team. But the guy just got shit done. You know, he flung the ball around, he had great, you know, accuracy, he meant lots of touchdowns, lots of yards. I did, it doesn't hurt to have some of the best wide receivers in the game, you know, on the outsides, you know, catching the ball, and that would, that definitely helps him. You know, you always have to go into that too when you talk about Heisman. You got to have to have guys to throw the ball to a solid tied in, you know, a decent, you know, a B plus, an A minus offensive line. You can't have your quarterback running for his life. You can't have your quarterback getting banged up, missing a week or two, you know, halfway in the season towards the end of the season. And then, you know, that hurts your Heisman chances as well. But like I said, expect a Heisman winner this year to come from a nine-plus win team. I'm sorry, you know, five and seven Colorado. I hate to shit on Colorado again, it's just the first team that came to my mind. Shoulder Sanders ain't winning this Heisman this year. But if Colorado goes 10 and 2, shoulder standards, those for $4,050, 50 touchdowns, heck yeah. I mean, I could see it coming. I mean, as tough as their schedule is, I mean, that comes down to it as well. You don't see very many greater five, non-power four contenders, even really when it comes to the Heisman. It comes from power four, you know, it comes from your ACC, your Big 10, your Big 12 and your SEC. I do believe the only G5, non-power four player to win the Heisman came in the 60s, I want to say. I do believe it was, I'm just thinking off the top of my head, I want to say it was Navy's quarterback, Roger Stobock. I really want to say that I don't have that written down. I probably should have did a little bit more dive, but I also could have looked up the paper from last year too. Well, right. But like I said, running that time, I know season starts here pretty quick, but I want to get this show out. I'm going to go, like I said, through the names, going to start with the usual suspect that I'm going to give you a couple of other guys, guys that, you know, may be on a lesser team. And if that team over-producers, wins a lot of games, why not be this last year's Jayden Daniels? The Heisman favorites every single year, a lot of the time they don't make it to the Heisman ceremony in New York City every year in December. And then I give you another couple of guys, some guys from teams that are probably not even ranked right now, that, you know, if you don't know that name right when I'm talking to you about it, you might know their name at the end of the year. But also it's getting you guys ready for the draft as well. That is a little sneaky thing that, you know, teachers would do back in the day, which if you remember going to school, they would throw something cool at you or hint at something, you know, something that make it fun, but you are still learning. And ultimately, they were trying to help you in the future. And that's what I'm trying to do now. So, you know, come draft season again once this thing comes back around full circle. For draft time, I've already talked to you guys about this. This could be the Davio Bryan quarterback from LSU this year that goes top 10 in this coming up draft. And I've told you about it less than a year away from April 2025, the NFL draft. So getting you guys ready for even more in the future. So I'll do that here a little bit. And I'm going to do my coaching carousel, hot seat, cold seat. Who's comfortable? Who should squirm? So on and so forth. And I'm going to do it by conference. I'm going to do the major four, of course, the Power Force, your ACC, Big 10, Big 12, and SEC. I'm going to give you a couple of guys that, you know, their seat is cool and calm. You know, there's no rockiness going at all. Could it get warm at the end of the year if they say lose two or three games? Absolutely. Then I'm going to give you a couple of other guys that, you know, it's a little warm underneath their butt, so to speak. And then I'm going to give you who I think is possibly going to get fired. I mean, it happens every single year. You know, a team just doesn't quite do it. And, you know, the year before last, you didn't quite do it as well. They gave you an opportunity to go two or three years. And that's about all you get a lot of times with some of these prestigious universities, you know, for every year that you don't, you know, contend for your conference championship that you don't go play in the college football playoff, you're losing recruits. You know, you're losing money to your big brother, so to speak. That's Texas A&M, they may get Texas' leftovers, but they have to fight with the Oklahoma's and their big brother, the Longhorns. You know, Georgia reaching in, LSU reaching into the Texas pool. It is what it is when you're not relevant. Sometimes recruits don't want to play for you. I mean, it is what it is. And then like I said, I'm going to go through those coaching carousel, hot sea, cold sea. And like I said, predict who I think is going to get fired. And it's just circumstance, you know, it's not everybody can go 12 and no. You know, I said it before on the last show. There's 134, 141 around that number of FBS schools, you know, to envision one schools that potentially statistically have a shot at winning the college football playoff. But everybody knows it's going to be within 20 to 30 teams that realistically can win that trophy at the end of the year. Just because they get better coaches, they get better recruits, their NIL deals are better. They can go in the transfer portal and pick and choose and, you know, turn down one five-star guy and pick up another five-star guy. I mean, it's just, you know, a message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army Infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party.

Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. It sucks. Don't get me wrong. Me being a Texas Tech fan. We're always the smaller school in Texas. Can we be bigger? Absolutely. We have a shot now from the big 12. The big boys aren't there anymore. Why not now? Not now when, so to speak. Let's get into this episode. It's going to be a juicy episode wrapping up the off-season period. Like I said, let's go through the usual suspects, names that you probably already know. The Heisman front runner right now, I looked it up, is Carson Beck. I think that's fair. This is the quarterback of the Jordan Bulldogs. Completely fair. Out of the top 10 pre-season top 10 teams, I think Georgia has the best shot to go undefeated. I did predict nobody goes undefeated this year. I just think because the big 10, the big 12, and SEC got stronger and it got deeper. Nobody's going to run away from anybody this year. Somebody's going to slip up, and I think Georgia has the best shot of going 12 and 0. They just hard the cream of, not just the SEC, but division 1. Hell, I think they sent Nick Saban to the pasture, him winning two national championships in a row. Bama just kind of losing their stranglehold on the SEC the past couple of years, and then the whole NIL transfer portal thing came out, and Nick Saban was like, hey, that's the icing on the cake. Kirby Smart was already getting up there with me and contending in the SEC pulling recruits away from me. I taught him everything he knows too, so I got to go. They just had the better players. Carson Beck is going to be a guy that's going to be more than likely, could be in New York at the end of the year. Another guy, Dylan Gabriel, personally not a fan of him. This is his third stop. I think they need to put regulations on transfer portals and my own spending. I think you get one try. If you didn't work at Mississippi and you go to Michigan, you're stuck. You stay there. You don't get to go to four different schools and four different years. I think that's horseshit. I really wish they would do something about that, but like I said, Dylan Gabriel on his third stop, I didn't believe he played at UCF, USF, I think it was UCF, sorry, broke his fibia, I think, you know, the big bone in your leg. Transfer to Oklahoma actually took a year off because, I mean, I see his injury like that. You've got to take a year off. Goes to Oklahoma. That's a pretty good year. I thought he did pretty well. I mean, Oklahoma wasn't the Oklahoma of old last year, and so he leaves Oklahoma and goes to greener pastures at U of O. You know, we'll go play for the Oregon Ducks and, you know, it's going to be a great player. I love him. I love his game. I just don't like his, you know, greener pastures type thing. If it ain't working for me here, I'm gone. I don't like it, but the guy can swing the ball. And then in that Oregon offense, this dude's going to go for poohoo's numbers for sure, Dylan Gabriel at Oregon, the quarterback. Oh, and also, by the way, be prepared since 2010. Only two non-quarterbacks have won this award. So, you know, 12 of the last 14 have been quarterbacks. You know, Duvante Smith, and I do believe it was Derek Henry, have been the only ones that haven't, that weren't quarterbacks to win that. So, you have that going on as well, and juniors and seniors traditionally win this award. Yes, a sophomore will win it every once in a while. Freshman has won it at once, I do believe. I think it was Johnny Manziel back in the day, but other than that, juniors and seniors win it. You've got to be coming from a nine-win team, and you've got to be a quarterback. So, of course, I'm going to be talking about quarterbacks, but I still got some other guys for you guys. Let's go back, sorry. I hate to be on a tangent. This summer has been crazy, sorry. Quinn Ewers, quarterback of Texas, there's not much to say much about it. This is a guy that, you know, can wing it with the best of them. He's going to be in one of the best offenses in the country, period, a team that's going to win nine games this year with their eyes closed. I'd probably say, yes, they have a pretty tough schedule, but probably nine, 10 of those games that they're going to play out of their 12-game season. They're probably going to be favored in. I do believe, you know, like I said, they play Georgia. That one's, yeah. Of course, you're going to not be favored against Georgia. I mean, it is what it is, but Quinn Ewers is going to put up numbers, you know, he stays healthy. This is a guy that can wing it and put up numbers, like I said, Jalen Milro, Jalen Milro, sorry, quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide, another guy, you know, coming from a Blue Blood, Alabama, is that's cool. I mean, they've won a butt load of Heisman's. If you'll look back in the past millennia, they won a bunch. And, you know, Nick Saban has got a lot to do with that, but I don't think Alabama has that great of a year this year, and, you know, it could be nine and three, it could be 10 and two. If they go 11 and one, hell, even undefeated, of course, they're going to continue the SEC and get that, you know, guaranteed spot and the cost will play out absolutely. But I just think they take a step down. I just don't know if Caitlin DeBore is ready for the SEC. Like I said, SEC is a whole other monster, man, but best of luck to Jalen Milro as well for the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback. Will Howard, quarterback out of Ohio State, X, Kansas State, I want to say he used to play for K State, kind of weird, you know, you go from a four-star program, I would say to a five-star program, and you're going to be starting the next year. He's going to have all kinds of players around him. I think it's going to hurt him a little bit, because I think they're going to run the ball about 40 times a game to be perfectly honest, because they're going to have that two-headed monster and quince on Jukins. A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger-qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Military voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. Maybe on Henderson in the backfield, I do like Michigan did last year, and just bludgeon you to death and get to play action going, you know, you know, JJ McCarthy would throw the ball 15, 18, 20 times a game, 180, 200 yards a game, I touched on our two-game, nothing out there stat-wise, but Dave, what he had to do. But I don't think that's going to win well-houred the Heisman this year, but you just still have to talk about him. If he goes out and goes ham, of course, he's going to get invited to New York. Jackson Dart, this might be a name that a lot of people may not know, but this is the quarterback of the Mississippi Running Rebels Ole Miss. Dude can sling it. I mean, Lane Kiffin has a really good eye on quarterbacks, man. He really does, and he really lets them run their offense and gives him some room, you know, two audible kind of call plays on the field as well, gives him some freedom, and Jackson Dart's been there and done that for a while, and then, like I said, I'm high on Ole Miss this year. I think Ole Miss is a lot like Penn State that, you know, a few good drops here and there, a few good bounces of the ball here and there, and get an upset, don't get upset as well, and you could be in that comfortable playoff this year, just buckle down, Lane Kiffin's a good coach. I know he gets a bad rap, but Jackson Dart, watch out for this guy, man, quarterback of the Mississippi. All right, Niko, Ayamalaevia, I hope I got that right, Ayamalaevia, Ayamalaevia, yeah, I want to say that. The quarterback of the Tennessee, this guy, I think, I'm starting, as you know, as I'm going through these names, might be, guys, you do not know. This guy, I do believe, is going to be a sophomore, true sophomore, too. He read your sophomore, if not real sure, this guy got a couple of snaps last year for the Tennessee Volunteers and shows just great splash, man. This guy can wing the ball, Josh Hyple, of course, if you know who Josh Hyple is, the coach of Tennessee, has a great eye for quarterbacks as well. I mean, him, Mike Leach, guys like Lincoln Riley, Lane Kiffin, they're just quarterback, you know, goo-rooves, they see those three or four-star guys and just, you know, hey, my offense would compliment this quarterback. And Niko is one of those guys. If Tennessee has the year that I'm predicting as well, he could be like, hey, Jaden Daniels this year. Niko, Ayamalaevia for Tennessee. All right, Garrett Nussmeyer, why not? You know, the reigning Heisman champ comes from the Louisiana State University, Bayou Bengals, you know, LSU Tigers, why not throw in another quarterback? The guy's going to take his spot, Garrett Nussmeyer, man, for LSU quarterback. Guy, definitely the name sounds familiar. I think he's kind of been one of those guys that's been around for a little while, but why not? You know, if LSU has a good year, I don't think they do. I think it predicted them to go 9-3. Pretty tough schedule. I mean, hell, they have a tough first game. I do believe they play USC, you know, week one, and that's going to be a knockout drag out fight as well. But who's to say LSU can't have a good year as well and Garrett Nussmeyer leave them to that land. The LSU kind of hasn't been around in a while. Last one is Camp Ward quarterback out of Miami, Florida, the hurricanes. This is my pick out of this bracket, out of the names that you don't or you should know. It's Camp Ward, man. I think this guy is a game changer. Guy can wing it. Guy is big. He's strong. He's fast. And if you watch some Miami games the past year or two, if you're a hurricane fan, I hope I'm preaching to the choir and I say, "Man, Miami just needs a quarterback." And they can contend in the ACC. Hell, just go to the ACC Conference Championship game. You might get a spot in the Conference Ball playoff. So watch out for Camp Ward, man. This guy is good. He reminds me a little of Vince Young. I hate to say that, but man, guys got a arm. He's very smart. He can run the ball as well. He's just, I think he's great. I really do. All right. Let's go on to guys that you probably don't know, but I'm still going to give you some good things. Well, you do know. All right. Drew Aller, Alar, however you say it, quarterback at a Penn State. I could have put him in that first one. I think Penn State's up there as well. I got them going 11 and 1. Of course, is it going to happen? Hell, you don't know how I don't know either. But this is a guy that if Penn State goes to the Promised Land, he's going to be the guy that's going to be talked about. I hate to say it, but it's a quarterback-driven lead, just like in the pros. It's the same way in college football. I mean, you look at the draft to pass five years. The first four or five, six picks in the top 10 are freaking quarterbacks every single year. You got to get your quarterback. You got to get your quarterback. You got to get your quarterback. Drew Aller, Alar, however you want to say it, quarterback for Penn State is another guy. I could have put that little bracket above, but Penn State, you kind of have to bet on Penn State just being Penn State until they take that step. I hate to bash on them, but moving on, Riley Leonard, quarterback, had a Notre Dame, yet again, another team, mid-team, you know, I probably predicted them going four, nine and three, but they go 10 and two, eleven and one, you know, why not? I see them being a potential college football playoff team. I know they're going to be AP preseason ranked. Everybody knows that. They usually always are. But this is another good quarterback, you can do it for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Avery Johnson, quarterback at a K-State, yet again, another team, I have nothing but admiration for K-State just gets it done, blue collar type team, love their program, love their prestige, good quarterback, watch out for him. Hunter Weidman, Texas A&M, Aggie, quarterback, kind of a long shot, who's to say A&M can't have a good year as well either. I know I've bashed on them a little bit during the off season, but what teams like Texas and OU, joining the SEC, you still have the Bammus, you still have the Georges, you still have the whole Misses and Tennessee's A&M's going out to show something, but like I said, if A&M's and butts were candy and nuts, but this could be a guy, like I said, could make some noise. That is Connor Weigman out of the Aggies with Texas A&M. Jackson Arnold, quarterback for OU, no need to say anything else. Another guy, gots to get it done, the guy behind the helm, the guy that runs the offense, Oklahoma, tough ass schedule as well, and that's sometimes a blessing in disguise. You go ten and two with a tough schedule, you start getting looked at for awards and absolutely the Heisman. Shooter Sanders, I could have put him in the favorites, you know, the guys because I definitely everybody knows that name by now, I just, they're not going to win. You got to win nine wins, you have to have nine wins for a Heisman winner to come from your school. I mean, it is what it is. It's literally, I gave the recipe, you have to be pretty much a junior or senior, your team has to win at least nine wins, and you got to be a quarterback. I mean, he is a quarterback, I'm going to be wrong, the guy's going to be a top ten draft pit. I'm not bashing Shooter Sanders, I'm sorry I'm not, but Colorado is not winning nine games this year, but if they do, heck yeah, Shooter Sanders should absolutely be in New York. Jalen Daniels, quarterback for Kansas, he falls into the lines, of course, of every like Avery Johnson, Riley Leonard, a lesser program, but I have a little bit of light on him. You know, Kansas was definitely a team that was looked into last year as being a contender in the Big 12 for sure. And with him stirring the drink, Jalen Daniels, in Kansas, why not, this could be a good guy as well. Alright, Brady Cook, quarterback at a mazoo, another guy, man, if mazoo hits, this could be a guy, he's got that it factor, I love this guy, love his cockiness, I love his just grit, I like my quarterbacks like that, I don't like them too cocky, you know, either as well, I know it's being kind of, you know, playing on the middle of the fence, right? But I like Brady Cook, man, this is a guy that's been there, done that as well, upper classman's got to do it, quarterback got a mazoo, pretty good. Noah Fafita, quarterback at Arizona, this is another guy, definitely have my eyes on new Big 12 team, the Arizona Wildcats, this guy just gets it done, I mean, he's got all the intangibles you need, he's an upper classman, he's got a cannon, he's very smart, really good between the years. Noah Fafita, watch out, quarterback at Arizona. DJ Ugalalei, quarterback for Florida State, yet again, another guy has kind of been bounced around left to right, wish him the best absolutely Florida State should contend for the ACC conference absolutely and hey, they go 11 and 1, 10 and 2, DJ Ugalalei is going to be the guy, the straw, the straw that serves the drink, all right, moving on. All right, we're going into the other territory, we're going into guys you probably don't know and guys with a longer shot and I think this guy has a good shot just because he plays both sides of the ball and if Colorado has a good year, he's going to be a reason and that's Travis Hunter, cornerback/wide receiver, guy plays every single snap, you know, I'll never forget that interview after, I don't know if it was the TCU game, they interviewed him and they said, "God, you have to be tired," and his Texas Heat playing, you know, both sides of the ball, he played every snap, damn near and he said, "No, I could go out and play, you know, I can go out and play another quarter," and you've got to love that dude, man. Like I said, I wish they had more Travis Hunters than Shader Sanders on the Colorado ball flows, but let's say if he goes ham, you know, he gets 8, 10, you know, interceptions and scores 18 touchdowns, gets 1500, you know, past yards and doesn't have a touchdown on him, that Heisman Committee is going to have some fun stuff to do, do you give it to him as a cornerback, do you give it to them as a wide receiver, just give it to him as a utility player, right, as a DH pretty much, but it should be very interesting, I mean, you have to talk about guy dudes and Travis Hunters are dudes, all right, Ollie Gordon's second running back on Oklahoma State, like I said, longer shots, but if this guy goes out, rushes for 2000, 20 touchdowns, 25 touchdowns, you know, reels in a couple of receiving touchdowns and Oklahoma State wins, the Big 12, why not throw a running back in there, I'm tired of it always being a quarterback driven, you know, league, why not a running back, and that's the best running back in the game right now. A message paid for by veterans for all voters, listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army Infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army reserves. When I enlisted in the Army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party, that's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2, right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two, that means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. With the facts, elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not imply endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. I hate to say it, I'm not knocking him in as well. The guy got busted, he had his problems, probably not going to have anything happen to him either, but to boss, and he has probably one of the best offensive lines in the country in Oklahoma State as well. Going to that same little area, I'm going to talk about some more, running backs. Quench on, Jutkins, running back at Ohio State and Trevion Henderson, running back at Ohio State, have to talk about them. I don't think either one of them is going to win the Heisman just because of they're going to share. It could be a 50-50 workload, it could be a 60-40 workload, it could switch. Henderson can have a great week of practice, he gets more plays than Jutkins. I just don't see anyone, they both could rush for 1500 yards and both have 10-12 rushing touchdowns. That's not going to get you the Heisman, but I got to bring him up because, like I said, the draft is still coming up. April's going to be here before you know it, and if you want a good running back, just go call up Oli Gordon, Quench on, Jutkins, Trevion Henderson, or this next guy I'm going to talk about, Taj Brooks, running back at a Texas Tech, I got to throw him in there. I think he's the second best running back in the country behind Oli Gordon. I could say Quench on and Trevion are up there as well, but with them sharing snaps up there in Buckeye land, they're not going to get that wear and tear like a Taj or a Oli Gordon is going to get. This guy led the nation in Miss Tacos last year. He is like, I don't know, 900 yards away from, you know, being immortal and love it. I know it's running backs and Texas Tech, it's not a prestigious award, but it is. I mean, we've had some really, really good running backs in love it, but this is a guy that can do it as well. I know we're going to be, we're Texas Tech, we like to win the ball, but I have a good running game every once in a while, have him rush for, give him his 20 carries, let him hopefully get 200 a game, score a touchdown every game, maybe even a couple of receiving touchdowns a game. Why not? This is a good guy, man, and this could be a guy, like I said, draft. All right, I'm talking about a receiver right about now. Luther burdened the third at a mazoo. Like I talked about Brady Cook, the quarterback, you have to have a running mate. You got neighbors, you know, with Jaden Daniels last year, you can't do it yourself, you kind of have a guy, and this is a dude. I think he's probably the first where I receive or taken off the draft board come April next year. So don't be surprised. Worden the third, make some noise, maybe even win the belittinac off this year. All right, Taterian McMillan. I've talked about him already as well. Another receiver, probably 1A, 1B, I want to say it while I receive it from Arizona. Just talked about Noah Fafida, he's going to have to have a running mate as well. This guy gets it done, just boo koozy yards last year if it wasn't for, you know, neighbors and you know, some of these other guys, you know, Marvin Harrison last year, you were talking about Luther burdened and Taterian McMillan for sure. Just dudes. Like I said, I would not put it past these guys to win the belittinac off this year. All right, let's talk about a little bit more quarterbacks. But like I said, we are getting into the longer shots. Will Rogers, the quarterback for Washington, I think Washington has a year. I think they were the TCU of two years ago, got lucky, of course had some great players, but lost a whole lot going into their next year and don't necessarily have a great year. They lost their head coach, you know, so many draft picks. But Will Rogers, if Washington does, make some noise in that first year in the Big Ten next year, Will Rogers is a dude. And I, I mean, ask Michael Pennix, man, dude got it done at Washington. Yes, I know he's not going to have all those fun toys, you know, that Michael Pennix got to play with at Washington last year. But hey, this is still a dude. Will Rogers, quarterback of Washington. I like this guy. This guy is scary to me as well, KJ Jefferson, quarterback of UCF. I think he used to pay for Arkansas. I watched him a couple of years ago. This dude can play. He's got that Cam Ward, that Finch Young, big, strong, fast, smart arm. And he's playing for a team that I've told you guys about when I talked about the Big Twelve. UCF could be dangerous and this is a guy that can do it. So if you want a long shot that, you know, UCF wins nine or ten games, this is the reason why it's KJ Jefferson, the ex Arkansas quarterback that's playing for the Knights. All right. I'm going to give you another running back just for Schitt's and Giggles Trevor ETN. Yes, little brother of another ETN. Is this the Georgia running back though? I got it. You got to throw in at Georgia running back every once in a while, right? I mean, he just kind of have to. This guy is going to get it done, man. He's going to get a lot of snaps in Carson Beck. Like I said, it's going to have to have some pressure taken off of him every once in a while. And if he's anything like his older brother, he can get it done. Absolutely. That is Trevor ETN running back for the Bulldogs of Georgia Malik Murphy quarterback for Duke. Ah, you're probably saying C and these are the, you're getting into the real deep, real long shots. Absolutely. Duke can do some stuff. Why not? You saw them upset Clem's last night or last night, last year, I say Malik Murphy because he's to play for the Texas Longhorns. This is a guy that, you know, was kind of in that mumble mix with Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning. Uh, guys getting up there and he's like, man, I can't sit behind these two guys forever. I'm out of here. Now that's what the transfer portal for. You're a sophomore. You're a junior. You get a five star freshman guy. You get someone from Ohio State the next year. Stuck at three and damn, yeah, you may know the playbook. Yeah, you got to bust your ass to play, but you know, you're just not good enough. Go to a Duke and play for the Blue Devils. This guy could make some noise. Watch out for Malik Murphy quarterback at a Duke, Caden Salter quarterback for Liberty yet again talked about G five non-power four, you know, schools about, you know, a while back. Nice, if Liberty is to get that 12th spot, Caden Salter is going to be the guy that's going to get him there. This is another quarterback. Like I said, the face of the team, he goes down, he gets hurt, he throws him in receptions. Liberty's not going to be good. You're in it now. It's the same way from all these other guys. If you're a quarterback, you got to get it done. Caden Salter, but this is also another one of those little guys. You know, reminds me of, who am I thinking, like a Jake Hainer, you know, a guy from a Fresno State, you know, hell, even Josh Allen, he played for Wyoming, you know, you don't have to come from a big boy school, you know, to make it in the NFL and watch out for Caden Salter for sure, quarterback at Liberty, Preston Stone, quarterback for SMU, could be a sleeping giant. SMU just rubbed me the wrong way. I don't take it personal if you're an SMU fan out there. I know there's a lot of Texas residents that, you know, listen to these shows absolutely in. SMU is just one of those teams, man. They just talk a lot of shit. They live in the past too much. They think they run the, you know, Fort Worth, Denton, you know, Greater Dallas area type thing. They really think they're the shit. And but Preston Stone's a good guy. Like I said, this could be a second or third round quarterback in the draft as well. Kyle McCord, quarterback of Syracuse, yet again, you starting to catch a vibe, right? With all these quarterbacks are from lesser teams. They have to do something miraculous, but I want to give you guys some opportunities. You know, if you like, if you're a gambling guy, take one guy from the, you know, the darlings, the guys that probably should win, go and take a random running back that I just talked about, maybe a random receiver, and then lump one of these quarterbacks in. Someone's going to come from nowhere. Like I said, Arizona did it last year, Missouri did it last year, someone's going to do it this year from probably maybe a bigger conference, i.e. Syracuse. Why not a Kyle McCord out of the ACC? I want to say ACC. I could be wrong. Big 10. Sorry. Still a big boy conference. He meets every one of the qualifications that Syracuse just goes and wins nine games. Maybe even 10. Why not talk about a Kyle McCord? But like I said, I'm still getting you guys ready for draft as well. Like I said, there's always a method to my madness. All right. Moving on. Jordan McCloud, really reaching right here, quarterback, Texas State, talked about them. You know, in one of my greater fives, I said, if they're a dark horse out there and some of them little conferences, Texas State makes a noise, you're going to know the name Jordan McCloud, at least, maybe not Heisman, but maybe in the draft process. Going on. Kyron Drones, quarterback Virginia Tech. This is another long shot, but I don't think he's a long shot. I got a star next to him. I'm high on Virginia Tech this year, as a lot of people know, Virginia, I like their schedule. If it's not going to be a Clemson, if it's not going to be a Florida State, a team that I would say watch out for that could upset either one of those teams. It's Virginia Tech. I like the weather schedule works. I like the weather buys come, who they get at what time, who's coming to their house, when are they going to certain places? Like I said, that comes into effect when it comes down to when I predict schedules. Sometimes it's an easier schedule and you're like, "Oh, okay, Michigan's going 12 and no." Like I said last year, their schedule just worked out that way. But okay, Kyron Drones, quarterback for Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech does it. The reason why, Garrett Green, quarterback for West Virginia, high on them as well. I think they can upset Penn State week one. Absolutely. They're not going to be that small of an underdog. I think. A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlisted in the Army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party.

Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. That West Virginia team should scare a lot of teams, not just in the big 12 but in the country. If you've got West Virginia on your schedule, be wary, this team can ball. Garrett Green is a dude. They like to throw the ball up there in West Virginia up in the country roads, man. Neil Brown is a coach that's been doing his thing for a little while now. He's getting his feet wet and that's just scary when a coach gets comfortable, starts getting the players he wants, starts getting the offense he likes to run, watch out for Garrett Green, quarterback West Virginia and I got to give you one last guy. I hope he has a great year. I hope he stays injury free. I hope he stays vertical. I don't want to see this guy horizontal very much but it's Baron Martin, quarterback for Texas Tech. Hey, I talked about the Texas State quarterback, Liberty, Duke, SMU. I think Tech's better than all of them schools. I mean, you got to throw the quarterback for Texas Tech out there, right? A guy that could throw for 45 and 50. I mean, come on, dude's got game. It really does, man. Like I said, hopefully I said if he stays vertical, he already has injury concerns. He's already had a fucked up shoulder but if this guy stays vertical, his kid's got an arm and he's fucking smart. He's a coach's son. I cannot say that enough. I love coaches' sons. Something about them. They were just raised a little harder, raised a little tougher. We're around it for a whole lot longer. Grasp and game a whole lot better. Baron Martin, quarterback for Tech, my school, watch out for him. All right, that was, I don't know, 30-something guys. Are one of them going to win the Heisman? I gave it a 75% shot. But I gave you some long shots. I gave you some receivers, gave you some quarterbacks, a whole lot of quarterbacks. But there you go, guys. There was my portion of my first half of the show and that was the Heisman. Like I said, that 45-pound bronze statue that somebody will hold up in December, coming from a 9-plus win team more than likely a junior or a senior. And more than likely coming from a power four school, sorry. But I did throw in some long shots. So like I said, you never know with college football. All right. Let's go into this college football coaching discussion that I have. It's won't take long. It's just a few names for you guys. I'm going to go conference by conference. So let's start off with the ACC alphabetically, shall we? Mike Norville, quarterback, dang, I got quarterbacks in my mind. All right, coach of the Florida State Seminoles, safe. I mean, you'd have to absolutely shit the bad for them to even talk about firing the Florida State Head Coach. I had a great year. Last year, great recruiting class. I think they're a dark horse to win the ACC. He's pretty much safe moving on. Dabo Sweeney, of course, guy has rings, dude ain't going to get fired unless he goes one at 11. You know, like I said, his seat is cool. Brent Pry, I think this is my warm seat. I think this guy's been there for a little while. Virginia Tech has a great schedule. Virginia Tech shoots the bad. Brent Pry, the head coach of Virginia Tech, the Okeys. This guy could be looking for a new job. Dave Doran, the coach of the NC State Wolfpack. This could be a guy I talked about them as well along with Louisville. This is a team that could win the ACC. But this guy's been around for a little while. NC State's done some pretty good things in the past, but it's kind of got that flavor of, man, this guy's been around a lot. Yeah, we win seven, eight, nine games a year. But, guy, when are we going to take that step? And this is a guy. Like I said, his seats were just warm. Just warm. All right, I got two, these are my guys with the hottest seats. I got Matt Brown, the UNC head coach, it's our hills head coach. He's going down that line of a Nick Saban. I think this best days are behind him. I think he's one of those coaches that does not like the transfer portal, does not like this NIL thing. He's getting older and the players are getting younger. It's a Nick Saban thing, the old ways are just kind of changing. And if they have another mid-type year, I think Matt Brown retires. Maybe not gets fired. But he steps away. I think it's time. Like I said, I think his best days are behind him. Also, I'm going to say Mario, Cristobal, Miami, Florida, you know, the U, the Hurricanes. I think if they shit the bed with Restrepo, Cam Ward, a pretty optimistic schedule, there's no reason why they can't win nine games this year, content for that ACC conference. And it's going to be Mario, Cristobal's fault if they don't. So don't be surprised. They lose a couple of games in September, October comes around. They lose another one, especially to a lesser opponent, Mario Cristobal, Adios Amigo. All right, Big Ten, Washington, Jed Fish. I think he's got the safest bet going into his first year at Washington. They could lose four or five games and Jed Fish isn't going anywhere. For what he did at Arizona, going into his first year at Washington, this is like his job is safe. I think Michigan and Sharon Moore, I think he's safe to an extent if this NCAA investigation goes along and they find out he had, you know, stuff going on with her ball, you know, text messages and, you know, doing stuff he wasn't supposed to, yes, they will fire his ass if he goes 11 and a one, I promise you, because that's just what you have to do when it comes to, you know, fucking up, I mean, it really is. Wisconsin's Luke Fickle, I think he's safe as well, just because I like their schedule. Yes, it's a little tough, but they go seven, win seven, eight games. I think Luke Fickle's fine. This is only his second year. Traditionally, you let a guy coach for two, three years before you even think about firing him, but I know if he goes one and 11, two and ten, yeah, you think about firing him. Moving on. Here we go. Kind of warm. Actually, sorry, I got one more cool seat for you guys. Oregon's Dan Lanning. This is a guy that's doing his thing in Oregon, man. God, players love him. The guy's been there for a couple of years, too. Oregon should win ten games this year, maybe even 11, 12. Hell, you never know. This guy just is just loved by Oregon, for sure. Dan Lanning. All right, we're getting into the mediums. The seats are a little warm. This is a warm public restroom bathroom seat. It's not the worst thing, but it's also not the best thing. You know why it's warm, right, because someone's ass was just there, but these seats are a little warm. This one's going to surprise you, USC's Lincoln Riley. They had the number one pick last year in case of Williams, they lost quite a fit, quite a bit. You've lost a couple of times in a row. Oregon was a fit for them, and they're going into a tougher conference. You've got to play the Penn State's and Ohio State's and the Michigan's and the Wisconsin's and the Nebraska's and the middle tier teams in the Big Ten are way better than the middle tier teams in the Pac-12, I hate to tell you, and I think he's kind of lost his luster a little bit, but he goes and wins 19 games this year, he'll be fine. Minnesota's P.J. Flack. Guys been there a while, quietly, does decent, but at the same time, it's like, we're trying to be a middle tier team in Minnesota. I would be surprised if they go four and eight, five and seven, they decide, "Idios Mr. Flack, see you later." Iowa's Kirk Friends. I hope they're smiling fans out there, and I hope I pissed off some of you, and I hope some of you are nodding your head right now. Even if you're just a Big Ten fan, you could be a Penn State fan or Ohio State fan. You say, "Dang, CMY, you've seen Kirk Friends should be wary." I just think the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. They do the same thing over and over again. Yes, they win eight, nine, ten games every year, but their offense is shit and their defense is great. They can't put up points, they don't get the best recruits. Maybe it's the coach. I know he's been there forever. But at some point in time, you have to say, "Are we embracing mediocrity?" Or are we going to swing for the fucking fences? And that's why I have his seat as warm. If Iowa has a bad year, don't be surprised that he gets fired, but he's got to be talked about. I mean, he has to. I'm sorry. This is another one, and you're going to be surprised in this one as well. Ryan Day at Ohio State. This is my team that I think wins it all. But they lose a game here there, they lose again to the Michigan Wolverines, that team they just hate for this third straight time, fourth straight time. Ryan Day is out. I'm sorry. They have to win the big 10 this year. They have to make the college football play out. And not just make it. You better make it to at least the second round, if Ryan Day is going to be the coach of the Buckeyes next year. So just be wary, be very wary. And here's my guy with the hottest of the hot seats. It's James Franklin, Penn State. Big 10 got stronger, Ohio State ain't going nowhere, Michigan ain't going nowhere. You got to contend with Oregon, USC and Washington now. These 8, 9, 10 win seasons ain't just ain't going to cut it. And you're going to have schedules one year, maybe even next year, if you make it through this year, James Franklin, that you're going to play Washington Ohio State with Wisconsin, Michigan, maybe all at their house. You never know. You could be the Florida of next year in the big 10. And you could be gone. And it could happen this year. I know I predicted you guys to go 11 or 11. I like your schedule. I like your opportunities, but a crappier, crappier, loose to West Virginia, week one. Let's see what happens talking about there up in Beaverland. Shout out to that boy, Howard Poole. I hope you agree with me, homie. I really do. If you have a shitty year, you absolutely have to, but you know, an 8 and 4, you know, it's that Kurt Ferricks effect, it's yeah, we're good, but fuck, I want to be great. Maybe he's the coach's oldest back, you know, like I said, moving on. Going to my conference, a big 12, safest coach, Utah's Kyle Wayingham, guy gets it done. You know, guy could shit the bed, you know, year one, you know, just saying, oh man, stepping up in class and from leaving the pack 12 to the big 12, could lose a gamer here and there, but he's gonna be fine. He's done it. He's been that coach. I want to say over a decade, Duke gets it done, no need to talk more about him. Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, one of the longest senior coaches in all of college football period, guy just gets it done, wins 9, 10, 11 games, every single season he'd have to absolutely shit the bed, but then to consider firing him. Day States Chris Cleeman, I'm not worried about him as well. This is another guy that's guaranteed 8, 9, 10 wins, damn near every year, guy just gets it done, work pale guy, when they've replaced Bill Snyder, man, they couldn't have found a better replacement, love the guy and I think he went from him, Bill Snyder to him and they didn't miss a beat. A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlisted in the Army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party.

Get the facts, elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not imply endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. Lance Leopold out of Kansas is another guy I think is safe. They're getting a new stadium renovation next year. You don't want to go into a year like that and break in a new head coach too. Could they shoot the bed and could they contemplate firing them at the end of the year? Absolutely. I ain't nobody's job's safe, but he has the coolest seat. All right, let's get into the warm seats. I put my boy, Joy McGuire, man, Texas Tech head coach. We shoot the bed this year, you know, go six and six, five and seven along those lines or Lord forbid anything worse than that. You know, I know this is this third year, but man, new stadium renovations, great recruiting classes. And I'm going to say no, but I have to talk about it. You know, it hurts. It hurts me because I love the guy. Love what he says. I love how he talks. I like his mission statements, what he does. But he got to be talked about, you know, a coach that just, like I said, I don't want it to happen, but I always have to think about the what-ifs, right? Moving on. Iowa State's Matt Campbell. I think this guy is up there as well. I think this is not just a warm seat. This is a pretty hot seat. They haven't had pretty good years the last couple of years. They were talking about him, you know, replacing Nick Saban a couple of years ago, replacing a John Harbaugh up there in Michigan. This is a guy that was just getting it done at Iowa State and they thought, oh, if he gets steps up in weight class, this guy could get it done in a bigger effort on, you know, program. But lately, he has exactly been doing that great. You talk about big 12, you don't necessarily talk about Iowa State cyclones past couple of years. Neil Brown for West Virginia, another warm seat kind of guy. Yeah, yeah, go out and have a shitty year and see if Neil Brown is going to be a head coach. I talked about West Virginia earlier and how they can have a great year, hell, they can have a shit year. You never know. You could lose your starting quarterback. You could lose a couple of guys here and there and you just kind of lose your locker room. It happens every single year. Careful, Neil Brown of West Virginia. And TCU's Sunny Dies. I don't really have anybody in this conference that's their seats really, really hot. I'd probably say Matt Campbell for Iowa State's got the hottest seat. If you don't win this year, you could be fired. And then Sunny Dies. I think he has a warm seat as well, not the hottest of seats. I know people are saying CM, he just played in the national championship two years ago. Yeah, but you went out and shit the bed last year and the excuses have got to stop somewhere. Was it a fluke? That's what people are going to say. If you go out and have another type of year and they're like, oh, well, everything hit for TCU that year and they haven't been back since and it could be a Sunny Dies thing. You never know. I think he's safe. But like I said, got to talk about him. Last guy, hottest of the hot. This seat I think he gets fired, Baylor's Dave Arenda was a highly touted guy when they brought him in at Baylor. This was a Baylor team just reeling from accusations and problems and litigation. So much bullshit was happening at Baylor brought in Dave Arenda and slowly started turning it around. But the last couple of years, he's losing recruits. The recruits he used to get two or three years ago, followed Joey McGuire to where it was like, oh, okay, all those players he was getting. It wasn't because of Dave Arenda, it was because of Joey McGuire. And the whispers are starting to get kind of loud down there and wake up. And if they go out and have a four and eight year, Dave Arenda is gone. I hate to admit it, but he's got the hottest seat in the big 12. All right. SEC, let's start with the safe bets, of course. We got Georgia, Kirby Smart. His seat is cold, it's not cool, it's cold. Bama's killing the bore. You don't fire a guy after his first year, don't even talk about that. Sarkeesian, the Longhorns, I think the year that they had last year went in the big 12 on their last year going to the SEC and then should winning nine 10 games this year, you know, contending for the SEC, he ain't going nowhere either. Tennessee's Josh Hyple, I think his seat's pretty cold as well. I think that year he had a couple of years ago finally getting the Alabama monkey off their back. And I think they have a good year this year as well. With that Noah guy, I don't want to try to bust up his name again. I am on Olivia or something, let me check my, I am on. This could be a good, another great team. I think he's fine. Let's get into the warm seat, shall we? Shane Beamer, South Carolina, didn't even talk about South Carolina. Do they pump out, you know, players? Oh, hell yeah, but it's those middle tier teams, man, that are going to just get tired of mediocrity. I know winning six and seven games, some teams will kill for that. But when you're in the SEC, it's just not enough. When Shane Beamer is one of those guys, you know, Beamer Ball, that is a, is it Frank Beamer? Yeah, Frank Beamer, the old Virginia Tech coaches son. So, hey, they were expecting him to do those kind of things up in South Carolina. And he hasn't quite done it, so it won't be surprised if he gets canned at the end of the year. I got this guy, I don't think it's possible, but it could happen. Mississippi's Lane Kiffin, if all miss goes out and shit the bed, like I said, a lot of these coaches, this is a guy that gets under a lot of people's skin. You don't necessarily like him, and there could be boosters out there that are just like those people that are like, you know, are we hired him, because we thought he was good and yada, yada, yada, and he's just not performing. He's not up there with the Georges, his bamos, and, you know, Texas is an Oklahoma, so on and so forth. This could be a guy, like I said, go out and shit the bed, Lane Kiffin, you'll be looking for a new job. Sam Pittman, Arkansas, yet again, this is under the South Carolina type team, middle of the pack, lost KJ Jefferson last year, that really flustered a lot of players out there, a lot of Arkansas, you know, racer back alums, they're like, hey man, maybe this guy ain't it. Hey, go five and seven this year, four and eight, sorry, Sam Pittman, you're going. Here we go. Another warm seat, I would say I wouldn't put him on the hot seat, but I got Brent Vennables from OU, is he, is he a head coach, is he really a head coach, one of the best defensive coordinators in the game a couple of years ago, there wasn't for him, Clemson wouldn't have gotten all those national championships, those couple of years ago, he was working with Dabo, maybe he's not it, and OU's got pressure on him. I know with the addition of Texas, Texas runs their mouth, Oklahoma's just kind of quietly doing their own thing, not really saying a whole lot this offseason, letting Texas do what Texas does, and that's right, checks, and Oklahoma should win quite a few games issue, but yes, it's that same mantra, those alumni are going, hmm, that's three years that we've just been kind of mediocre, Oklahoma is expected to win, they're a blue blood, they're supposed to win 10 or 11 games every single year, and I don't know, glad you should the bed and see what happens. Hot seat, there's two, I have a hot seat, and then I have the hottest of hot seats, LSU's Brian Kelly gets my hot seat, it's uncomfortable, he's up there with the Mac Browns man, he's up there with the Nick Savens, he's an old school coach man, likes yellow cuffs, green, maybe even chokes them buddy, you never know, and college football is kind of going away from that, they're going more into player coaches, guys that you can relate to, younger coaches, and maybe going to LSU was more than he can, he bit off more than he can chew, going to Notre Dame and coaching Notre Dame, I think it was a harder job, and he made it work, that's what got him his job at LSU, and now yeah, he can get the players he wants to go to LSU, but you're in the biggest of the baddest conferences, and you better show up and show out, LSU is another one of those schools, hey, eight, nine wins, ain't enough dude, I ain't quite cutting it, yeah, you got us the Heisman last year, but that wasn't necessarily you, you just had a great player, and he was a transfer, that don't necessarily mean that was him, so like I said, be wary, it's just a hot seat, this is my scalding, I think this guy is a guarantee, he will get fired, and that is Billy Napier, the Florida Gators head coach at, that schedule is too tough, I mean it is, and it's the statistical hardest schedule in college football this coming up year, I mean they're playing, you know, they play, they play for a state week one, I mean, and you got to play your SEC schedule, and I do believe, oh no, no, sorry, they played Miami, they played the hurricanes week one, yeah, sorry, I fucked that up, but yeah, they play for the state later in the year, that's one of their non-conference games, you mean to tell me a Miami Florida Hurricanes team that should take steps for this year and actually continue the ACC, you mean damn, we get, we don't get the Miami's of old this year in the Florida Gators, and then we get a team that's going to contend in the ACC, a team that should have made the playoff last year, we get them later in the year, that's a non-conference game, and now we have our SEC, we have, you know, Oklahoma, you know, all these other great teams, we have like every single one of them down there, this is going to be a bad year for Florida Gators fans, but go out and win seven or eight, man, go out and win nine, get some upsets, you're not gonna be favored in a message paid for by veterans for all voters, listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves, when I enlisted in the Army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party, that's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties, Colorado votes on one too, right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand pick party nominees, it's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils, Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot, every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party, the Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two, that means more choices for voters in the primary and general election, get the facts, elections belong to the voters, not political parties paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent, the use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure, but maybe a game or two this year, hate to say it Florida, but it's the coaches that take the brunt, man, it is what it is and that was the last one, that one's the hottest of the hot, his seat is super hot right now and he hadn't even stepped foot on the sidelines, man, this guy's gonna lose his job at the end of the year, truly believe so, just because no one's gonna, that's the hardest schedule, there's no one, no one ever does it, so like I said, that's it, hope you guys enjoyed it, coming in a little over an hour, I was thinking about right 30 minutes on each, the players was the best one, it's because I like to go, I like to give long shots, man, I want to talk about all these players, guys that could potentially hold that 45 pound bronze trophy at the end of the year and then go through conference by conference and tell you the guys who are safe and the guys not so safe and then talk about guys that, whew, that seat is hot and if you don't win, guess what, you ain't a part of our alma mater, no mo, adios, asa la beasta, baby, you guys take care, that's my last time, I'm literally wrapping the bow on off season because the last time, next time I talk to you guys, I am doing week zero, week one preview, very, very soon is right around the corner, guys, it is so close I could smell it, the pads are gonna be popping soon, man, the ball's gonna be flying, oh man, just, that sounds of helmets cracking, it whistles and the crowd going wild and, canons and fireworks and cheerleaders and mascots and, oh, it's coming guys, it's right around the corner, bear with me, we are almost there, it is always the darkest before the dawn, y'all, I can't wait to talk to you guys, break down a couple of those games, give you what channel to watch it on, what time to watch it, so on and so forth and we're back in it and then I will be back later and the week, next week, I should say probably with the week zero, week one preview show and then it's back on again, you know, it'll be week two preview shows, so hopefully two shows a week, if all else doesn't fail, I will be talking to you guys two times a week, so that's it for me, guys, I hope you enjoyed your off season, I've educated you as best as I possibly can, the test is coming up now, it is a 14 week test that leads into conference championship time and goes into college football playoff time, you are ready, if you paid attention, if you listen to every single one of my shows, go back and listen to the rivalry show that I put out last year, I want to say and get ready for the rivalry games that are coming up, or if you just want to go back and listen to some of those other shows that I talked about during the off season, please go and listen to that, go back to my draft stuff that I talked about right before the NFL season and say, oh man, see him, talked about that guy, he's on the San Francisco 49ers, I loved watching some of these pre-season games this past weekend too as well, I loved Cody Schrader playing for San Francisco, I talked about that, I said, nah, I love that guy at Missouri, if he goes to the right program and Chris McCaffrey's injury repel, hey watch out for Cody
