Pre-preseason Q&A

don't know if you can kind of hear it. It's not great. It's not great for audio, it's not great for video. I need to swap it out. I told you you don't need to swap it out. You just need a little w D forty. Yeah, it's true. I don't know if we have any lubricating elements. Lubricating elements in our in our house. We need to get some. This is a very very weird start to what are you talking about? Q and A show? Dan? Yeah, we love three things. We love off topics, we love college

football and your mister lubrication. So how am I speaking out of turn here? This actually kind of collects everything we need to talk about, and then we have, yes, a number of college football and non college football topics to talk about on Today's Q and A show. But I think we're writing the crosshairs here, right in the cross here. Sure, whatever you say, I am tied. He is Dan. We are the Solid Verbal. Don't forget to

dot com. For ballers dot com is where you can go to get some of our bonus content out on Patreon. A lot of news coming I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but news coming later this week on that front. If you are are interested in becoming a verball or you've got a lot of new people signing up to join the teon in the dance of the college football season. Yeah, and we've got our show on Friday,

which were very all years in the making. Yeah, twelve years in the making, Dan, Yeah, Okay, what is today's show? We have a Q and a show and we haven't done one in a while. We've got a bunch of good questions both. I mean, it's largely going to be about college football and the upcoming twenty twenty one season, and maybe a couple of big picture questions, but also some non college football questions because we scratch all of our itches, ty, not the easiest ones, but all of them.

Let's get into it. Congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail. You've got mail on the solid verbal Dan. As often as we can, we like to pay homage to those of view verbalers out there who write in soliverble at gmail dot com. We also solicited questions across every possible platform,

be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, plain old fashioned email. Certainly, we tapped into our verballer community out there on Patreon and in our Discord server, so a bunch of different ways that folks could get in touch with us with their questions. I'm gonna start with Will, Dan, that's Will with one L one L. Is that true? Says just one l here on the sheet, which teams in twenty twenty one do you think will look better than they

actually are due to an easy schedule? And then conversely, which teams fall into the opposite category, i e. They're going to look worse than they are because of a harder schedule. So look, we have started to do some of our preseason research. We're going to be announcing at some point soon not to give too much away, when we're going to start doing our previews, because the college football season, now that we're in July, it's getting a little bit bigger in the window. So we started Danny

Canell to the mix. We've not added Danny Capelt. Sorry he costs too much. We couldn't afford it. I know it's true. We started doing research, we started looking at teams.

Have you started looking at schedules? I have, Yeah, especially in a couple of the conferences that we're doing early on, and it's as always fascinating to see like, well, this team isn't that good, but they could win eight, they could win nine, Like they return enough that they were only so so, But it's a schedule that really gives them a chance to sort of push up against their ceilings.

So yeah, I have been looking at schedules. I have been looking at you know, better than their schedule, what have you believe or better than you know you would believe based on their record based on a really tough schedule. I mean, we've talked about Clemson with this that maybe their record will be better than their reality. Although you know, I love the ceiling of where they are at quarterback and receiver and upfront on defense, it's just after Georgia,

it's a whole lot of maybe. Okay, that's one of the those teams for sure. Arkansas, Arkansas year two of Sam Himan. What a brutality, brutal schedule. So we already talked about Arkansas getting Texas in the non conference. They've also got Georgia as one of their cross conference inter

divisional matchups. I believe they also have Bama and LSU on the road, which right out of the shoot, that's four losses as a starting point, I think, I guess, I mean, your Texas love is now documented, but continue. So Arkansas is one of those teams that I think falls into the category of having a really hard schedule. I know, Phil Steele just from looking at the magazine, it's somewhere in this studio for those watching on the

video feed. He's pretty high on Kentucky finishing third in the SEC East, and that is due in no small part to its schedule. Eighty fourth schedule wow in FBS. So you know, they get a game against Louisvilleville Louville on the road, but for the most part their non conference schedule outside of Louisville, they've got um, They've got New Mexico State. Does he has everything right? The easiest and toughest schedules in each conference, correct, that's all laid out,

go through it. Yeah, Well, I don't have this magazine in front of me. I just put couple. I have it right here, ty. Look. Easiest schedule in the Big twelve Oklahoma, Yep, they've got Nebraska. That's the big heavyweight in the early portion of their schedule. The toughest is Kansas. Well, yeah, I think Kansas is no matter what their schedule look like, short of it being a like a MEAC schedule or a I don't you know, a Big Sky schedule or something like that, that was going to be a tough

road anyway. And you're one of a new coach with all the turnover they have. The Arizona schools are on either end of the spectrum. Arizona State with a pretty easy you know, they get BYU, but it's BYU with a new offensive coordinator and a new quarterback. And I feel like I don't have the big ten in front of me, but I feel like it was North I

having Eastern, Yep, Northwestern and Perdue easiest, hardest. Yeah, Okay, so that's the Arkansas one is really unfortunate for Sam Pittman, and I think it will probably serve to detract a bit from the progress that they made last year, because they did make progress last year. Sure, it's just an impossible schedule that he's going to have to deal with.

The Northwestern one is interesting to me as well, because Northwestern, again slow but steady, always finds a way to be in the mix, and with the benefit of a good schedule, they could again contend for that big ten. West. Well, I just think they're a good program. They did have a catastrophically pad offense two years ago and last year it improved to simply definitely bad. But yeah, they they can navigate it. Who's in that they have what who

do they have anybody of note in there? They have Duke who is sort of dramatically changing things up on offense and moving on to a new starting quarterback and loses a few big pieces up front on that defense. So Northwestern is in a really good spot to to once again contend for the West. Will by the way, is a verboler fi ver baller on our night Patreon forballers dot com. Okay, let's go to Pundevil pun Devil, also another verballerballers dot com. Yes, what is your favorite

mascot name? I'm saying, what is your favorite mascot name? Like their actual first name? Okay, so like not necessarily the falcon, the way, the buffalo, the green wave is a popular one, The green Wave. I don't and I don't want like you to say, like, you know, the whatever, the Stanford Tree, although I don't know if the tree actually is named like Edgar or something like that, but O great, I can't imagine. Is it just the tree? That's a very Standford thing to do. If there's a

name for it, I have never heard it. It's always just been referred to as the tree. What would be a good name for the tree. If that tree is simply not named and it's just the tree, now, you have to remember it dances around in wacky ways, it has wacky googly eyes, so it needs a name befitting of its presence. If you named it Conifer, it sounds a little bit like Lucifer, which gives Stanford more of an edge than you'd expect. And also it sounds like

the tree. Yeah. Yeah. That also it sounds like a you know, an arrested development Parks and rec kind of combination. Non existent name conifer. But I don't believe it's a conifer tree. I don't know what kind of tree it is, so regardless, that's the first thing that came to mind. I guess it would have to be a Conifer tree, right in order to be named Conifer. Yeah, something like uh. I actually like Edgar a lot Edgar. Edgar covers the spectrum for me of either very serious or very silly.

Maybe a Walter, maybe a maybe a Leslie. Not a lot of tree names out there. To be honest with you, I don't know if it's a Douglas fir, but if it were, it would be a you know, Doug is easy Doug. Yeah, Doug would Beezy my favorite actual name for a mascot. Uh, it's a tie to me. I love the name Ramsy's o, the you know, the the Longhorned Sheep whatever you know, kind of uh tar heel mascot wise. Yeah, and Ralphie obviously, Ralphie is a wonderful name. Ralphie is up there for me. I have a sauce

spot for Bucky Badger, Monkey b Ainger, Bucky b Edger. Okay, I just think that is the coolest mascot to look at outside of all the almost one name though, Like do you like Bevo? I like Bevo. Bev's fine, but I'm just saying in general for me, outside of the live mascots mm hmm, the very clearly fake, big headed mascots. For me, Bucky Badger is the coolest one. And I just love the name Bucky Badger, So that's always been

the answer for me. I like the sort of creativity of naming George's bulldog Uga after Uga, right, and got an espen quality to it. Right. It's kind of controversial among Oregon fans, but technically speaking, it's just the duck, which is very boring. But I believe it was when Oregon had a live duck mascot. The duck's name was Puddles, and that has carried over and I think that's adorable and I'm if people want to call the duck Puddles, I'm thrilled to go along with that. So that's my

asterisk here. Let's go to Joseph, also another verballer, Okay, assemble your dream college football Saturday, not related to your own team in any way, and he highlights a few possibilities here can be a unique college football venue or college town. A question on this is coming up here also, maybe by Joseph, the same Joseph. I don't know, but this is a great question that I'm going to ask next.

Hold that in mind. Also could pertain to matchup tailgating food a celebrity fan to watch the game with Dan. You have been is It's no secret in this show you have been to many more college football venues than me. So with the benefit of that experience, what does your dream college football Saturday not related to Oregon now right? What does that look like for you? So I cannot choose? Okay, so of the locales both in terms of town, city and tailgate and atmosphere of a game. I mean I

do have favorites. I mean I loved going to Baton Rouge and seeing a game at Death Valley SYLSU South Carolina, which was not a mark matchup, but it was an insanely fun time. Nonetheless, Now Baton Rouge as a town, I think it's a perfectly good town. Does it stand out in college towns to me? Not necessarily, but you do have the New Orleans ability, so there's that element,

but that's not the college town. God, It'd be hard to turn away Madison at this point for me because I like the food, I like the town, I like the atmosphere of the game. It's you know, there's an electricity there that I do love. But if I had to put everything together, man, I don't know, see, and that's going up and down the list of places I've been, Like, I love ann Arbor, but like the Michigan in game experience. I don't know. It's just that that's where it falls

off a little bit. For me. What about you, Well, now you love Athens. I do love Athens. I'm not going to go Athens with this because I've been there, but I the best I can do here is tell you the elements of college football that I'm intrigued by and have yet to experience. So, for example, I am very intrigued by some sort of pregame tailgating experience that

involves boats. That's Tennessee Washington standout. And I've done both. Yeah, Tennessee and Washington standout, So you would tell you could tell me which one's better, But I am intrigued by that first and foremost. I ate better Before a Washington game, the local seafood people were grilling up fish and making fish tacos, and I think there was some sort of

oyster situation that was great. That was legitimately a great eating experience for me outside of I think it was a Washington Oregon game two thousand and seven, so that was wonderful. So I would recommend that. But the Tennessee the Vall Navy is great too, and that is a Meland stadium is an overwhelming stadium experience. Now are you going to get that electricity for current Ish Tennessee matching up in a big game. I don't know. I don't know,

so that's takes away something about it. But I think if if Washington lives up to their hype and ceiling this season as a top fifteen ish team. I think you would have a really good time. It's a loud stadium. I don't know if you've spent time in Seattle, have you? No, No, I've been a college town. I've been to Portland and never been the site. Seattle's great. You can eat well, you can explore, there's different neighborhoods. It's on the water.

You want to go. There's like different islands you can visit. You can see orcas certain parts of the year. To me, that's that's a big positive in a college town orca options options all right, So let's say Washington just by happenstance. But the boat thing, to me is interesting as a tailgating exercise in terms of which I would love to tailgate in a kackaboose at South Carolina. I think Columbia

isn't crazy attractive to me. Let me move on to matchup, I'd say, okay, pretty much any big time rivalry, So give me Ohio State Michigan. I don't know. I mean that's the rivalry to end all rivalries in college sports, maybe in sports in general. I mean it it's fine. So if i'm picking, I'll just pick a rivalry. I don't really have a proclivity towards any one particular matchup. Tailgating food. Tailgating food's interesting to me. It's interesting to me.

Maybe not as interesting to me as it is to you. You're the foodie of the group. But no, but you're I'm interested in food, am I am intrigued by having tacos outside of a college football game? Sure, I've never done that at a Penn State game or a Notre Dame game. To be perfectly honest with you, great tailgate food handheld can grill. Also anyone who does Poe Boys. So maybe that drives me more towards the South Southwest.

I don't know what it's not a big tailgate food though maybe I'm wrong on that, just throwing I see a lot of When I went to Baton Rouge, and I've been to I mean, I've been to a lot of plays in the SEC, but especially Baton Rouge, which I would assume Louisiana is most associated with Poe Boys and New Orleans and everything. Uh, it was much more giant pots of different stews and different options in terms of royal crap oil right dumping out, Well, it's more

shrimp to me. I don't know, cross, but I don't know if crawfish is fully in season in the fall. I don't believe it is. But yeah, that's what I associated big pots, cauldron type situations and it was freaking amazing. But I think I think your answer should be lsu Bama, lse Ole miss something like that in Death Valley and then the final one here celebrity fan to watch a game with. Now you go a thousand directions here, right,

we're biased towards McConaughey. He was on the show. I don't know what it did, like walk us through he walked us through his ideal Texas football weekend. He did. We asked him specifically about that. And so for my money, he came on the show outside of Lex Steel And I'm trying to think what other celebrities we've had on the showcanaughey is clearly the most famous person that we've had on the show. So for me, it's got to

be had Ralph Russo on. We have had Ralph on Okay, So don't just say McConaughey without fully considering the breadth of options. Stu Mandel. We've had Stu on too. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't have a celebrity. I mean McConaughey would be fun. That'd be ridiculous. Let's say the Big

twelve tie. Chris wants to know big picture thoughts on Kansas State heading into the season, and I think he went on to ask about a possible hot seat for Chris Climb and I'm gonna say no. Yeah, I'm definitely going to say no to that because I do think the early returns are promising. Not his fault that Will Howard had to step in last year, and you know, the record certainly indicated the falloff at quarterback between he

and Skyler Thompson. My big big picture thoughts on k State is they need to get the defense in order. They brought in some promising transfers. We hope Skyler Thompson's healthy, and if Skyler Thompson and that offense are able to look like they did at times together, we should see a ridiculously entertaining and productive douce Vaughn. Now what develops a round douce vont to, you know, take away some of that gravity. I don't know if it's Malik Knowles. I don't know who it is who had kind of

a disappointing year last year. That's what I'm curious about. On offense, the schedule is I believe, and I had it in front of me earlier. It's really tough early on, and especially in terms of quarterbacks consecutively. It was like, you know, Brock Party and Spencer Rattler, Spencer Sanders if he reaches his potential like a bunch of those guys early on, and then the back half is pretty nice

in terms of quarterback matchups. So I would say eight wins is relatively realistic if they are going to return to the you know, not regrest, but progress to the mean in terms of injury luck. So you know, it was it was an unfortunate twenty twenty for k State in terms of all of the like numbers issues they had because of health and safety protocols in Skyler Thompson. So I think they are going to return to where they should be in terms of availability and just luck.

So yeah, I see them as an eight and four programmer. Eight eight wins is totally doable with this schedule. The other thing about K State's schedule is that they open with Stanford neutral syche game, oh bodyclock game right, like an eleven am local kick. Yeah, yep, yep, eleven am local kick. I play it in Arlington, and we have been pretty public that. You have been way more public than I have about your Stanford distained. Maybe I'm being a staying harm but you're not a Stanford SR. Yeah,

you're not a Stanford fan. You're not a fan of this iteration of Stanford football. Let's say going to the twenty twenty one season, that's a that's an interesting matchup for k State. Stanford's got some acclaim. You beat Stanford out of the shoot it puts k State a little bit more in the conversation right off the off the bat. Two very winnable games after that against Southern Illinois and

nov maybe startling. Illinois did beat North Dakota State in February TI they beat North Dakota State, but also Southern Illinois has that that DNA in them. They have the antibodies tie. Chris crime Climan is the North Dakota State a Dakota State I get, but possibly off to a three and zh start before you get to the real teeth of that schedule. Which is Oklahoma State, Oklahoma a bye week, and then Iowa State. Sure, so nonetheless, you look at the schedule, you could you could find eight

wins here. So I think I think I'm with you. They had the number one rate at all things, you know, being not great for k State in terms of numbers and their bad luck last year. I think I saw that their defensive line was the number one havoc filled line in college fotball last year, obviously in large part to Wyatt ubi Hau, who is no longer there. He's I think he was drafted by the Bengals, so uh

production to be replaced for sure. But yeah, I think they have a nice bounce back here because even when Will Howard was struggling at times, they were in I think it was the Baylor in Oklahoma State games, so they had a shot at games, even though they finished pretty unexceptionally last year. Alrighty Dan, let's go to Let's go to Bert. Let's go to Bart all the way at the bottom of the dock. What atom Bart? Is TCU a dark horse Big twelve contender Flora's yours? No

they're not. That's oh man, can you can you carve out a path for me. Can I carve out a path? I can pull up their schedule and we can try to carve out a path. I cannot in good faith sit here before the verballer hood and come up with any scenario in which Oklahoma does not win the Big Twelve. Oklahoma is loaded, Really, they are loaded this year. They have the best offensive line in college football, maybe the best quarterback in college football. Do you think so? I guess.

I mean the transfer situation is nice for them. Ohio State's tackles, but they've got so much coming back. Their defense presumably should be just a little bit better. And like I've said time and again with Oklahoma, the defense does not need to be Alabama. The defense needs to be marginally better, marginally better, marginally better, just a little bit better. They improved really impressively last year. If they can just continue to take some steps forward, I feel

like they're in a really good spot. What I don't the question wasn't about Oklahoma. I get that. What I don't like about TCU trying to carve this path is TCU's problem over the last however many years now has been inconsistency. Now, I like Max Duggin we like Max Duggin, but there has to be consistency around him. There has to be consistency with him as well. But the offense, to me has really let me down. The defense in

spots has really let me down. I just don't feel like I'm getting a level of canssistancy with TCU that I can really rely on. So the schedule, on its face, the schedule does not look like it is a murderer's row by any stretch. They play Dukine and Cal in the NORN Conference, right, and the other games that they've got here are I think spread out pretty well. They've got Texas and they've got Oklahoma, But in between the two, they've got a road tilt against Texas Tech, nice little buffer.

Then they've got k State, which that game's on the road, but there's a buffer against West Virginia in between. Then they've got Baylor. West Virginia is a buffer that's disrespectful. Then they've got Baylor, who I don't think any of us is all that high on, but Baylor before they go on the road again against Oklahoma State. You know, I'm a grimy guy. And then Kansas before they close out the year on the road at Iowa State. So they've got adequate buffer in between those big games, which

is nice for them. But they've got a road game against Iowa State, a road game against Oklahoma State, a road game again Kansas State, a road game against Oklahoma and that's pretty tough, Dan, It's pretty tough to emerge unscathed from all those big time road games. So for my money, no, nobody's asking them for that. But then we're saying dark horse candidates. So dark horse means what it means, they're winning toss up games, there's a unit or two that's much better than expected, or they have

incredible injury luck and other teams don't. So we're talking about things need to happen. This needs to be what is it called like a Rube Goldberg machine in the Big Twelve. It's where one team something catastrophic happens to them, and that'd begets something else weirdly to another team. Like if all of the quarterbacks in the room at Big Twelve media days, if suddenly, like a bunch of spiders crawl out of the wall and sting every quarterback other

than Max dug In. Right, we're having a conversation unless those spiders are radioactive and they have spider Man powers. So I, you know, I think things. There needs to be some sort of weird word a path for TCU that they keep getting teams with backup quarterbacks so they keep like weather're talking about here, We're talking about real,

true universal weirdness that affects everybody. But TCU. No, the answer is no. The answer is no. If it's not Oklahoma, if it's not Iowa State, if it's not Texas, if it's not Oklahoma State, right, it's not happening. It's not happening. So I like TCU. You know, I always kind of I get to this stage in mid July every year and I start looking at TCU with that twinkle in my eyeburt. I still have the twinkle. I still have it.

I always come back to TCU, no matter how much I don't want to, and I like them, I really do, not this much. There's got to be a limit to it, that this is my limit. There has to be some sort of pop in the passing game to open things up for the run game. There just has to be. There has to be somebody on the outside, and maybe we are just that. Maybe a name is just not

popping into our heads right now. But that passing game needs to improve from bad to above average, which is a tough ask with the same quarterback and no especially talented receiver transferring in or offensive line. Like, there needs to be some indicator right now to us for us to feel optimistic. But I think, look, you look at their schedule last year, and they won what their final three games. I mean, they trounced Louisiana Attack whatever, but

you know, beating State is something. Beating Oklahoma State the way that they did, it's just I remember the Max dug and pass at West Virginia. It was just like, how can I have faith in a team who passes like that? And I think he just through like an awful, awful misfire on a wide, wide open player in the end zone from like eleven yards out. So I think they can win the losable games. You win some more

toss up games it was close against. I'm looking at their schedule last you know, they lost to k State, they lost to Iowa State early, and I don't know, it's one of those teams that can bounce back, But personally, I'd like it to see more new personnel being a reason why. Rocco says, what is more likely to happen Justin Fooente who getting fired after going four and eight, or Fuente leaving for Oklahoma State after flucking his way into a nine win season. Just I think it was

the former. In Virginia Tech four and eight, explain, I mean, their schedule is not terrible, so there's good reason to believe that. You know, they won't go four and eight. But at the same time, man, I think Braxton Burmeister is okay. But this was supposed to be Justin Fwente's strength, pushing the ball downfield an interesting, difficult pass game to defend like he had at Memphis, and they haven't found quarterbacks, they haven't found receivers, they haven't developed a system to

consistently get that. And it looked like Hendon Hooker was that quarterback for stretches and now he's gone. Khalil Herbert was the guy responsible for adding the pop to that offense last year, and it's a really nice offensive line last year. I just it's hard to see now their schedule splits are nice, right. I don't have it in front of me, but I remember looking at it when we were research when I was researching the ACC and they open with North Carolina, which I guess will know

a lot more about Virginia Tech after that game. But I think after that they're home for a while and they don't play Clemson, they have notre Dame at home. I just I don't know what Virginia Tech's identity is, so the teams like that. That's the problem with an identity free team, with a team that you know they won games they were supposed to win and weren't all that competitive in other games, and not having a quarterback

I feel great about. As nice as the schedule kind of appears early, I think I say four and eight more so than nine and three. The Braxton Burmeister thing is troubling to me. He completed some nice passes, but I think I rewatched some of him and the Virginia Tech offense late in the year last year, like I rewatched the Virginia game, and he hits guys if they're specifically schemed open, like if there's like a tight end delay, like the tight end chips a defensive end and then

it leaks out late and is wide open. Braxenbermeiser recognizes that and hits him, there's like a wheel route that develops that there's a you know, a crazy mismatch that's anticipated great. But in terms of finding those one on one guys and or going through progressions and pushing the ball downfield, I don't think Virginia Tech's getting that from the passing game this fall. I just don't. Yeah, I mean, he was hurt on and off throughout the course of

the year last season. Last season was weird, full acknowledgment, but it was it was up and down for him. Last year. Hendon Hooker went to Tennessee. He transferred, so with Braxton Burmeister now as like the top guy. I just don't feel great about that. First off, He's been around forever, forever at this point, and it feels like if there were going to be any kind of notable improvement,

we would have seen it by now. Just haven't. Right now, there's an identity crisis, and it's like, what exactly is what are they? What do they? I mean I thought there was an identity crist last year they lost their quarterback, like the I don't know. There were moments, there were promising moments, and you win, look, you win your rivalry game to end the season. Things aren't fully terrible, but with Babcock, the AD had to call a press conference

to clarify that Justin funte was not being fired. Yeah, that's not a good that's not a great moment to go into an off season on Georgia. Yes or no, Catherine wants to know via Instagram. Yes, yes, of course, yes, I think so. I'm a little bit worried about JT. Daniels' health just because he's a little bit snake bit and I don't know if it's a JT. Daniels thing or a universe thing that that concerns me. But there's there's so much depth all over the field up front on defense,

you know, receiver should be good. I know they lost Demetrius Robertson and George Pickens got hurt, but they should be in a pretty good fire. They'll be fine. And look they're in you're common about JT. Daniels health is fine, Yeah, and totally fair. They're in a good spot though that at least they have a returning quarterback. And I know it's not going to affect Clemson in Alabama and Ohio State the way it would affect ninety percent of the

other programs around the country. But it still is advantageous to bring back a quarterback who towards the end of last season was really fighting as stride. So I like that about I always like JT. Daniels. I liked him at USC the little bit we saw of him. I loved him coming over to Georgia. I love the fact that they might try to incorporate more of a vertical

passing game. They wanted to at the start of last year, but Daniels wasn't healthy, so now hopefully with a full off season, hopefully they can start to accomplish some of that. From an offensive standpoint. I'm really bullsh on Georgia. I am every year, but I am especially this year. Their schedule rules, by the way I just looked it up,

it's phenomenal, great, like Jim Row would say, phenomenalh nomenalull phenomenal. Yeah, they have Clemson, Yeah that's going to be difficult, but away from Athens otherwise, you know you're always going to have the Jacksonville matchup against Florida, but new Florida quarterback, and the road games at Auburn, new coach, at Vandy, new coach at Tennessee, new coach at Georgia Tech, trying desperately, trying to break through to become a bowl team. So

I say Georgia, Yes, I love their lines. I mean there's a lot to love. Now, the question is can they generate a complete four quarters? Can they generate an offense? Can they figure out the firepower? Can they figure out a game plan to beat Alabama? Ever on a neutral field, away at home wherever? I don't know. That's the bar. That's the bar right now. They had a great team that are a really good team and ran into lightning in a bottle LSU. At this point they have the

most promising quarterback known quantity quarterback in the conference. Yes, yeah, for sure. I mean we don't know what Bryce Young is going to look like. We don't know what LSU ceiling is. We don't know what Texas A and M is going to look like at quarterback. We don't know a lot of things about quarterback. But the position George is in right now year two of the Monk and era, depending on the health at receiver. Yeah, I think they should be in a fantastic place and we'll know early

and whatever. The Clemson game brings about is whatever. It's still week one on a neutral field, so they've plenty of time to recover or regress. But I mean, this feels like another real terrific opportunity for Kirby Smart to take a next step. Let's go on over to amateur photog HM. I wasn't really sure how to qualify this person. I didn't understand his or her screen names. So this is where we are. What will be the most or will be the more competitive game Iowa at Iowa, Oh,

Indiana at Iowa, or Miami against Bama. The more competitive game Indiana Iowa or Miami versus Bama. I believe. I believe if memory serves that the early line on that Miami Bama game was seventeen and a half points in favor of Alabama. So unless this respondent has a different definition of competitive, the answer would have to be Indiana at Iowa, right, I guess I mean the low of both Indiana, the low points of both in the Actually, three of these teams have had low points in the

last year. Indiana's low point offenseively is worrisome. Now, granted that was both with and without Michael Pennix, but depending on health on Indiana's offense. I you know, I could see a situation which Indiana loses that game seventeen to three, and almost no part of that game is entertaining or competitive. I really like Indiana just holistically as a program right now, so I don't necessarily see that happening. Miami is probably

a higher floor than Indiana and Iowa. We'll see though, because I just I worry more about where Indiana and Iowa at quarterback wise, Like there's a lot I really do like about Iowa, and you know, they've they've taken strides to become more creative on offense. But I I don't know if I feel phenomenal about Spencer Petros, pet Trust Petrousts, So that concerns me. I'd say, track record wise, I think Indiana I was going to be more competitive, just because I don't see either one of those offenses

running away. Where Alabama's ceiling with that line, with that stable of backs, so much of another promising crop of receivers and Bryce Young. Yeah, it's probably Alabama Miami right now. But that being said from an entertainment standpoint, from a TV product standpoint, the answer is Miami in Alabama Yeah, that's the more entertaining matchup. Yeah, but may not be as it could be a blowout. That game in all likelihood will be over by start of the third quarter.

And we're still talking about a Miami team that really disappeared offensively for stretches last year despite having dear King, a Miami team that lost by forty that just completely ran out of gas. Now this is Week one, but they lost by forty ish against North Carolina, and so you know, they lose some talented defensive linemen, but there are guys back on that defense that are really impressive.

And we saw Derek King, we sell Mike Harley. There's their pieces to really like, but man to do it for four quarters against Alabama week one, and Alabama has this sort of even though they're winning national championships, they also come out of the gate pretty strong in these games. So no, yeah, that's just the reality. I hope d R. King really like flashes knee wise like that he has

fully recovered and is recuperated. Let's go back to this question that I teased earlier from Joseph Okay, what are some unorthodox venues we could play college football games at, perhaps with cool backdrops. Not even stadiums, just venues where you can put a makeshift field like they did in Tahoe with the rink. I'm thinking the National Mall with the monuments or a corner with ten out west the mountains could also be amazing. Dan, do you have any

thoughts on this? The salt flats where they try to go really fast in cars, I guess that's not grass though. I mean you have horse racing venues Churchill Downs. I don't know how wide the infield is. Baseball stadiums really do it for me, especially after seeing when they tried to play what was it, Illinois Northwestern at Wrigley and how close the end zone was Wall. Yeah. Yeah, those always scare me a little bit. The international ones where

they play in soccer or football stadiums, they're fine. You know, they've played what in Australia, they've played in Ireland. Those don't do it for me. In terms of non traditional venues they played. They played some NFL games and I want to say it was the Giants against the Dolphins at Wembley and this is one of the early games where they didn't switch out the turf and so guys were out there pretty much on skates, trying to trying to run around on the turf and just tearing it

to shreds. That was kind of interesting, not from an injury standpoint, but I was trying to look at this from the standpoint of like, where's a really cool plateau somewhere in the world, Like can we do this? Can we do this somewhere in South America in the Andes on a big plateau where we have a cool backdrop? Maybe not the best stadium about the Grand Canyon. Set up a field, it makes your field. They wheel a feel into the University of Phoenix Stadium or whatever that's

called now Glendale. So drive that field to a Grand Canyon adjacent. What about they have that glass overhang somewhere at the Grand Canyon, don't they. Yeah, that's not I'm not okay with that where you can kind of see through the bottom, Like that would be cool. What about like Pebble Beach? I thought, a yeah, I don't know if you have enough flat territory that you could just build a field, right, you would have to do some grading, But in terms of like beachside cliffs, ocean side cliffs,

Pebble would be cool. For something like that. It's already an iconic venue, so if you could do something like along the cliffs there, that would be pretty damn cool. It's something like I'm trying to think if there's any desert you know, to have like the Desert Escape with the palm trees something like that. I don't know if there's a play you know, Palm Springs or Vegas or something like that. Kind of such a weird question that

it kind of like specific venue. I mean national there's a bunch of national parks that'll be interesting, but it's you know, playing a game in Yosemite or something like the feasibility Yeah, in terms of venues like where people already gather, right, So big wide open grassy air, like a game in Central Park, right, that's something Yeah, no, sure, yeah, yeah. I don't know what you do for stands, makeshift stands, but like you need wide open grass. That's it. I

don't know, what a weird question. All right, let's get to We got a couple of minutes left here. Let's let's get to some of our non college football questions. What's the best way to eat on a road trip from Luke overbolor do you pack sandwiches. Do you take long breaks for sit down restaurants, do you embrace fast food? What do you do? I think it depends where you are. I'd think it depends who you're with, it depends how

hungry you are. I would definitely make an effort to try as much regional food as possible, So whether that's sit down, whether it's you know, burger shacks, I think the shack experience. Like if I were to go on a road trip and I was I wasn't in a rush, I think I would look up where the like local iconic burger shacks or burrito or taco set, you know, something like that, where you're eating outside, something that's been there since like nineteen sixty three. I snack food doesn't

do it as much for me. I'm, you know, happy to go grocery shopping before you leave and load up on what you want. But I think I would make an effort to research the sort of road food places along the way. I don't care about eating really well, I don't care about going to steakhouses, but like if I'm driving up the coast somewhere in New England or the West Coast or in the Gulf or something like that, and the like, oh man, you need to go to this like fried clamshack. Okay, I'm going to do that.

I am steering into the shack lifestyle on a road trip in terms of food, steering into the shack lifestyle and also steering into the immediacy, the urgency, the emergency of a potential bathroom break on the road. Yeah, because you just don't know what you're going to get, right. The only thing is, though, if you go greasy as a priority, you're going to slow down your road trip. You're going to slow down. Might have some issues, you

may have some issues. And so for that reason, and really that reason only, I have no problem with regional food. But there is something cool about the low rent nature of like let's stop at wah wah, Let's get a couple hogis. Let's load up the cooler with some ice packs. We'll stop at some place along the side of the road, one of the rest stops. What have you, Pop open the cooler, eat our hogies, and we'll continue on. It's a lot quicker in most cases, it's a lot cheaper.

It's definitely not as exciting. But my only point there is jacks are pretty quick though, I mean shacks are quick. Shacks are quick, for sure, Gonna be waiting for a long time for a Burgram Fries or something in the middle of like who knows where I'm route sixty six or something. No, of course not. But my only point is if you're into the regional food thing, eat the regional food once you get to your destination, because then you're not on the open road. Then you don't have

to worry about the whole bathroom thing. Sure, Like, just get to a place where you're okay, I'm good. I know I'm going to sleep tonight. I've got accommodations nearby. That's when you take the food. What is your most common minimum three hour drive, like when you go to the Jersey Shore. What does that drive for you, like

in the last like decade or something. Yeah, I mean it's it's two two and a half, okay, So do you have places that you love stopping that you don't normally get to go because it's only on that route? Not really, No, I mean, if I'm if I'm looking at where I've gone about three hours away, I'd say the Jersey Shore is about to to two and a half. I've gone down to like Ocean City, Maryland, Rehobeth, Delaware, that's about three three and a half. Yep, Baltimore is

about three ish from here. And you don't have any sort of food traditions on any of those, not really. DC is about three penn states two and a half. That's you know, going a different, different direction. So no, I don't. I don't really have any food. Will you shot before? Will you like? Will you get that? Wah wah? Sub is that? Just? Is there a food that you look forward to, like, Oh, I'm well on the road, this is what I'm gonna have on on my person. It's all it's it's always got to be some sort

of HOGI yeah for sure. Okay, so you're will you eat it as you drive or just during a pit stop? As a pit stop? Yeah yeah, okay yeah? Hot or cold HOGI you know, I go either way. I just I like it toasted. I don't care if it's cold and toasted. Bit could dry out the bread if you let it go too long. It could. No, it's fair, but I prefer to have the whole. And they give you the option at Wawa if you want the whole sandwich toasted after they after they build the sandwich right

or just the bread. I always go everything because then it melts the cheese. Really gives you a different experience. The original tie the guy Mike, who I hosted my college radio show with. He is from Boise and we would drive home, which was, you know, eight or nine hours from Eugene, because I mean there are two different ways, one of which you go through Portland. One of itch is more direct, but you got to go through mountains

or something. He and his dad would get like whatever the like catering KFC size pack of popcorn chicken was. They had a dipping station on the console, the dashboard, whatever area of it was an older a cord or something like that, and they found a way to really secure I think it was like at the at least at the time the popcorn chicken. I think it was KFC.

Maybe it was somebody else, a fast food place to secure the giant it would come in like one of those movie popcorn basket type situations, and that they would just go to town on like a one and eighty piece por chicken container, which I think is a great road food if you can secure and have the coordination to dip as you drive. Yeah, no, it's a good one. I mean any any related field of fried chicken, nuggets, tendos, whatever, I think lends itself pretty well. So this is like

that answer underrated question from Luke. Thank you very much. Anything else that stands out to you? I mean, we have a bunch of other college football questions. Well, God dump it jump in. Jeremy wants to know with the SEC going ESPN ABC soon, what is the next move for CBS. Do they go after the Big ten rights? Do they after Big ten rights? Do they have a relationship with it? They do have a relationship. My English is off today with a Big ten in basketball. I

don't know. It seems like the PAC twelve is probably the move in terms of of eventually available and needing more exposure i e. Network television and not super duper duper duper duper hard to find premium cable, So PAC twelve could be that move. NBC could expand its offerings, but NBC Sports is sort of with the they dissolve the sports network, right, NBC Sports Network no longer exists, so they're not and hockey has gone back to ESPN.

I believe so I know what NBC's investment is like and more broadly speaking in sports, but CBS is still a brand that's that's pretty heavily associated with college football. So maybe the PAC twelve is the move there, I mean the Big Ten. I mean, they just signed that new deal a few years ago, so I don't know when that actually comes up, but that is a premium, premium, premium price tag because Fox badly wanted to get into college football more than they were, and they ponied up.

And obviously you see like the Big Noon Saturday and they're you know, putting their those huge, huge, Big Ten games at noon. So CBS is gonna have to pony up,

and the PAC twelve might be a deal. Maybe you buy in early, thinking, okay, whoever, USC maybe hires after Clay Helton and you have Mario Christabaul and Oregon rolling the way that they have, and maybe you think Jimmy Lake is going to be really good, and maybe you think David Shaw is going to bounce back and her Edwards is going to survive or as was building up a monster. So maybe it's a buy in early and CBS gets a deal in the same way they had

to deal with the SEC for quite some time. Does this mean that Nessler and Gary Danielson are going to have to call like UCLA football. It's a good question. I don't know. Is that where we're headed with this? I assume I think it was established that Joe Tess is going to become the voice of the SEC came of the week at espnabies. What is Danielson going to do if he can't go full SEC? I don't know, collect a paycheck and go to Pacady. Yes, I guess

it's you could do. I don't necessarily think he I don't think any of these guys have like super duper long term deals so they can even just hop somewhere else all right where else you want to go? Go ahead, you pick the best twenty twenty one group of five team TIEGE, which I really hope is a reference to being named TJ. Who is that team? I mean clearly Cincinnati to me. Yeah, But here's what I noticed ty about the group of five this year, A really really

deep roster of impressive quarterbacks. Group of five teams. I don't know if you've paid that much attention to group of five quarterbacks obviously, Desmond Ritter is getting NFL attention and leading Cincinnati, who I still feel really good about. Especially I mean, even with the loss of Marcus Freeman to Notre Dame, a coordinator on defense upfront, Cincinnati should be strong once again. But I wrote down the list

of names right here. So you have Caleb Allibie and Dustin I want to call him Dusty, but Dustin Crumb in the mac rayce McCalls back at Coastal Carolina, you have I lost my place. I believe Nick Starkle's back at San Jose States. Dylan Gabriel should be healthy and good to go, and now has Gus mels On in charge of that offense, so I assume we are thinking pretty good things there for sure. Jake Hayner was pretty promising in year one the Washington transfer to Fresno State.

I just I don't know. Laane Hatcher was good. Malik Willis is getting NFL attention, and he had a really interesting year at Liberty impressive year at Liberty, So I don't know. I think it's a surprisingly deep Carson strong. I haven't even mentioned that Nevada has got a couple of really strong no pun intended, but it's true. Receivers and Nevada. So no, that to me is one of the more interesting elements because we we've talked about looking at the top of college football and like, oh, it

doesn't seem like a huge year for quarterbacks. You're like, Okay, Spencer Ratler and Sam Howell, like they're not necessarily arousing our quarterback instincts right now, are they? Like they're good, They're very good, But it's not like we we have known killers across the sport like in certain years we do. So I think you can look at the group of five for some really entertaining games because there's experienced, talented quarterbacks all over the place. Yeah, the Grays and McCall

thing will be interesting to watch, you know. I like Holt Naylor's see you, I do like him. I don't care what you say. Now, Grayson McCall a year after kind of the big coming out party will be interesting to watch see which direction coastal heads. Levi Lewis twenty twenty one. Levi Lewis and he is the face of Eat Lafayette. Great with nil stuff all right for Levi Lewis, Let's go to Tall Rico. Let's do it. Who I

like this one. Which summer Olympic sport do you think you, in your prime could have at least outperformed the very lowest performers, assuming you had the necessary prep time. This is a very entire life. This is very difficult. So what does prep time mean? I have no idea. I have no idea. So essentially, if you have four years to prepare, if you have four years to prepare, which of the looking, gosh, there are countless sports here, which of these do you think you could at least outperform

the worst? I think this has to be a team sport, don't you. It has to be some sort of team sport where you or I could be effectively buried in right field, like in baseball or softball, right, I guess. But what sport is that? It'd be basely if I replaced Kevin Durant with you, Well, it's not basketball. It's clearly the joke of the Olympics. But you could bury somebody in right field in baseball and you could get

away with it. You'd strike out, you'd be a mess, but the team could still go on and be pretty successful even with a deadbeat and right field. He's saying out per the lowest performers. In this situation, you would be the absolute lowest performer in the baseball Olympics. So you're not outperforming the lowest I was thinking team sport. I was thinking it had to be a team sport because you can know where you got outperform the worst

person at the Olympics. You have to outperform them. I mean, there's got to be somebody worse in right field, right, My answer is racewalking. My answer is racewalking. I think if I dedicated my life to it. I'm six' one one seventy four. ISH i don't have especially long, legs WHICH i imagine you need to you gotta. HAVE i don't have any hip, issues WHICH i think that's where you generate a lot of the power in. Racewalking, okay beyond, THAT i would be scared to jump off any platform

of any sort of, height so diving is. OUT i don't have any sort of dexterity for, gymnastics, swimming, fencing nothing like. THAT i could even approach the lowest PERFORMER i lost to you a table. TENNIS i can't, SKATEBOARD i can't shoot. GOLF i would be the absolute worst field. Hockey the problem is even the stuff that we're good, at we would still be the. Worst. YEAH i don't actually don't even THINK i. Would is there men's field hockey in The. OLYMPICS i have no. Idea where do

you find? Racewalking by the, Way i'm looking for some of these that no longer an. Event it's within track and. FIELD i have no. Idea i'm looking to try and find a full roster of the, events AND i do not see. Racewalking racewalking is, yeah it's let's see who's. Qualified, yeah there's a twenty k and a fifty. K fifty k yeah, Right oh my. God the world record for racewalking and a fifty k is three and a half hours of. Powerwalking that's thirty one mile stand a fifty. K,

yeah it's a long. Time oh the normal, again if you gave me four years to dedicate my life to, IT a normal, person just at a normal, pace does a mile in twenty, minutes, right just a normal. Walk you're three and a half hours thirty one. Miles so what are those ten minute? Miles ten minute? MILES i, yes, YEAH i was at The olympic trials in two thousand and eight and watched the Racewalking olympic. Trials those, first those are. Athletes, yeah those are full on, athletes and

they are. Moving it's sometimes harder to walk really quickly than just flat out. Right it does it does damage on the. Hips i'm just SAYING i have the best chance of not being the lowest performer at. Racewalking i'm. LOOKING i think it's incredibly, skilled in difficult AND i respect everybody who does it on An olympic. Level BUT i think that's the. Close, like what AM i going to start? Cycling what about? Shooting, NO i don't have the eye for. It, no these are these are people

who have been shooting rifles their entire. Lives is croquet An olympic? Event no? Canoeingestrian it wasn't the at the nineteen Hundred Summer. Olympics, No i'm looking at twenty twenty one artistic. Swimming, NO i don't THINK i have the core strength of the leg strength to even in three four. YEARS i THINK i have the attitude and enthusiasm four. YEARS i don't THINK i have the athleticism four, years

four years of Equestrian what is? Okay i've asked this question BEFORE i just think in real life to people in offices and, stuff what is the or do you have the list of? EVENTS i have a list of, sports SO i. DON'T i still don't see. Racewalking but look at, here look Up olympic track and field. Events olympic track and field. Events, like you're not gonna throw the javelin. Impressively you're not gonna throw a shot put, impressively, Right so what is the event you would? Least? Like?

What what do You which event do you think would be the most personally embarrassing for you on the international stage to wake up out of a dead sleep and be expected to perform on international. Television i'm a podcast had to do. It you have to attempt the. Event i'm a. Podcaster so probably. Weightlifting let's be. HONEST i see weightlifting is really, binary, Right, well for for you AND,

i weightlifting is more you either lifted or you. Don't so you would get there trying to deadlift or whatever you're doing and you just wouldn't be able to lift, it and you're, like well The american was unable to even lift, it and it would be, like well look at, Him like that's to be, expected, RIGHT i think it's floor, exercise floor, exercise it's a floor, exercise OR i think

it's the high platform. Dive the high platform dive would be a huge belly flop and we'd probably knock ourselves, out but you knock yourself, Out but also you'd look like a spaz on the way. Down you just look

like a complete spaz. Flailing and think about the eight k cameras that are on your face right before the, jump, right and you're just out of a dead, sleep expected to perform like you, Would you wouldn't even be on camera running the hundred, Right the cameras would bypass you, immediately and you'd see the replay that The american was sluggish and you could at least at least you could

fake a hamstring injury halfway through a, sprint. Right but, Yeah jim nass like the floor exercise where you're expected to be creative and have a routine like you wouldn't embarrass. Yourself, golfing you would be, bad but you wouldn't embarrass. Yourself fencing your face isn't, seen you'd lose. Immediately. Whatever swimming you just get, killed but you can, swim so you

would just be enapt you wouldn't be embarrassing. Man but, YEAH i think the high, dive super high, platform the high dive would Be i'd be, terrified wouldn't you be? Terrified off skateboarding would be rough if you can't? Skateboard can You skatebourfing would be rough if you can't. Surf but it's just that to me is just, like, well IMMEDIATELY i can't do. It you would have to attempt something like what if you had to do the pommel horse?

Tie that would be? Problematic, yeah NOW i ask you, This so this is the follow up question to this hypothetical for years and years. Ago would you rather wake up out of a dead sleep and be expected to perform on the high platform or you, know or whatever gymnastics event that you would have to, Attempt or would you want to wake up out of a dead sleep and be in front of a microphone expected to sing the national anthem at The Super? BOWL i? Think or host The, Oscars like you would have to go out

and host The. OSCARS i think you could wing The. Oscars you? Could, YEAH i MEAN i would rather do each of the last two than rather wake up out of a dead sleep and have to sing the national anthem at The Super. Bowl, sure, sure, Absolutely so you'd rather be you'd rather be embarrassed on an emotional level than a physical. LEVEL i think. So. YEAH i think that's What i'm going, for because we've at least been

in front of, microphones in front of. Camp maybe not on that, stage but, no, no, no we've at least experienced something of what that's. Like, right a pommel, horse a high platform. Dive now not rings the even, bars forget, it, man forget. IT i wouldn't even know what to. DO i. KNOW i think about you sprinting, up oh to the, horse to The oh my. God have you ever seen the one where the guy like tries to do the

vault and just takes one in the. Chest, YES i, have and you see the dust kind of fly off. Them it's real. ROUGH i would not want to do that because then you risk real bodily, harm LIKE i could deal with emotional by the way they're boxing, exists forget. It, no in The. Olympics but that here's the. Thing you AND i are both reasonably, Athletic, yes, yeah reasonably. Athletic reasonably we're not elite. Athletes we're not the worsty fifth

percentile of our age. Group, sure we're reasonably, athletic mm, hmm and we would still be bottom of a barrel for any and All olympic. Events of, course at least you could wing the. Oscars at least you could at least we know the words to the national, anthem, right and you get. It you've seen enough oscars where you wake up out of a dead sleep and you're in a tuxedo and you're walking to a. Microphone you can bs your way, through like we all celebrate the majesty of.

Film we're here To like you. Could you could make the piece. Together you can see certain you just sort of work the room and you're, like, okay There's Dame Judy dench and There's Jack nicholson, whatever and you don't have to be, funny but you could just, like let's give. Them you would just have a disastrous but efficient. Opening as long as you are not, disastrous you're. Fine it's like doing a wedding, speech, right, right as long as it's not notably, bad it's. Fine it's. Fine so you

could get away with doing. That just don't be super. Controversial you could get away with doing. That but there's really nowhere to hide if you're out there on The olympic stage unless it's right, field which is WHY i said baseball put me in Right do you think do you think your lega see as an embarrassing performer would be more pronounced if you immediately got knocked, out like as a judo participant here mcnely. Style, yes you're just

immediately knocked, out just like boom knocked. Out or do you think it's worse if you are attempting a high dive and you're bad but you're not? Unconscious? WOW i MEAN i think YOU i think you are less memorable just being knocked out right. Away, oh you're definitely less

memorable because there was something for you. Physically it's definitely worse for you, physically especially if you don't know how to take a. Punch but there were a couple guys in the Last olympics AND i forget where from who were horrible off the highest, platform terrible and like really hurt themselves of course trying to jump off that. Thing so, NO i, mean, look it happens in real, boxing in real, mma where people who are the favorites take a punch

quickly and go down. Quickly that's a. Thing so you could get away with. That the high dive lives in infamy. FOREVER i would also, ADD i would add that wearing what you would need to wear on the high, dive wearing what you would need to wear as a, gymnast it's not. Super it's not super forgiving esthetically right, now that's. True that's also very. True where is a tuxedo's? Fine what is it called a ghee that you'd be fighting? In as a judo? Participant who asked this question Tal,

regan this is a terrific. Question, WELL i took it to a different, place but it is a good. QUESTION i don't know if the question you know what you? Here it? Is, okay they're, Sailing, well that's another. One could you could you think you could become the second worst sailing participant if given three or four. Years now

these are. Lifers what about all? Right so hold? On what about the dude or the man or woman to be politically, correct that sits the person who's like in charge of the boat as they're, rowing who just yells out the. Commands m, H i could Do coxson. TYPE i don't know what it. IS i could do. That if you gave me enough time and told me what not to, DO i could do. THAT i could conduct

that person gets a, medal they're on the. Team, no but What i'm saying, IS i mean this quite what this question is asking is, like wouldn't you then be the worst cox in? There i'm saying we need to have your coxson abilities at least outranks somebody. Else this is very. COMPLICATED i was thinking team, sports so you could just hide me. Somewhere, SURE i, mean you would be best probably what a, golf, golfer baseball in terms

of like the possible version of. Yourself AND i would be the best at, tennis AND i don't know how, Many like is there a country with a particularly bad history of? Golfers like is there a country that's sending somebody to participate In olympic golf that can't break a? Hundred? No maybe there's no. Chance, no there have been some really bad participants that get in for whatever. REASON i JUST i. Don't and also there are the home countries get, in,

Right so there's that element to. Things those guys are playing from the, tips they're playing in at a hard. Course it's not the LOCAL muni you put me out, There i'm not breaking. Ninety there's no way there's somebody out. There everybody out there is going to be sub ninety for. Sure i'll look up the Last olympics the golf. COURSE i think golf you are prone to having full breakdowns me. Especially, yeah Well i'm not saying, You i'm saying one is so all, right that's all we have time. For this

question went a little bit longer than. Expected this is a terrific. Question, though terrific. Question thank, you Find sir Taal rico with that.
