Today we are going to break down in 33 minutes or less what just happened over the weekend in the NFL and also college football. We're going to be talking about the Bears and the packers, the Niners and the Eagles, the Bills and the Jags, the, the, the Chargers and the Patriots obviously in college ball. We got Miami and Oregon. We got Indiana. It was Indiana, Oregon and then Miami and Ole Miss. We're going to break it all down for you guys in 33 minutes or less. You ready? Let's go. Let's get to the opening drive.
- [00:48]
B
Opening drive. Chicago Bears had an unbelievable comeback in the NFC wild card game. The Chicago Bears pulled off literally the greatest fourth quarter comeback in franchise history against the Green Bay packers eras 18 point deficit to win 31, 27. QB Caleb Williams in his first playoff start engineered a furious fourth quarter rally capped by a 25 yard go ahead touchdown to DJ Moore with under two minutes left in the game. Chicago scored 25 four quarter points, flipped the rivalry and punched their ticket to the divisional round, setting the tone for a playoff run that nobody saw coming. Do you think Chicago Bears have what it takes to win the super bowl this year?
- [01:26]
A
Yes. The Chicago Bears have what they need to win a Super bowl this year. And listen, they played like the worst team in the playoffs for three quarters against the packers and then they turn into the 85 Bears in the fourth. They're only the fourth team in NFL history, guys, the 14 NFL history to come back from down 15 plus points to win the game in the fourth quarter. And here's my deal. People said that Caleb was too soft. Oh, he's not a great leader. He's not consistent enough. He paints his fingernails and he wears the clowns have been wrong time and time again about Caleb Williams and his expectation of greatness is contagious. I mean you see it on the sidelines. When something goes right, it ain't good enough. When something goes wrong, it ain't good enough. And he makes sure you know that you have to do your God dang job. So the Bears have the quarterback, they have the run game, they have the pass rush with Austin, Booker and Montez sweat off the edge and they have the belief that they can do it. Now we don't know if we can use this footage. We're gonna try if we can use the footage of the post game speech put on by Ben Johnson. Listen to it right here.
- [02:40]
C
You go into the tournament coming off of two losses, man. You go into the tournament off of two losses. You look up at halftime in this game, and it's 21 3.
- [02:51]
A
No panic.
- [02:52]
C
No panic. None of it built for pressure. That's you, Gu. And that's the first one. That's the first one. All right. That's what we had to do. All right, now, I got three game balls here. First one. All right. We had eight catches, 130 plus yards.
- [03:20]
A
Now, if that ain't something that pumps you up, I don't know what does. That looks like a unified locker room that is rallying behind their coach and knows that they're the underdog the rest of the way. What did you see?
- [03:33]
B
No, absolutely, absolutely. You get pumped up from just watching that clip yourself. And it honestly makes you so happy for the Bears fans.
- [03:40]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [03:40]
B
Because this has been such a long time coming for them. You know what I mean?
- [03:43]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [03:43]
B
And I think the players understand what it means to the fans. They know what it means to them, clearly. They know what it means to the organization, but they also feel like they know what it means to the fans. So, like, all of this just makes me so happy.
- [03:54]
A
Preach, preacher. And even to top it off, now listen to this part of the speech in the post game from Caleb Williams about his coach, Ben Johnson.
- [04:05]
C
And for me personally, for me personally, he's been say, get emotional. For me personally, he's been monumental in.
- [04:14]
A
My life so far. Yeah.
- [04:26]
C
And so.
- [04:27]
A
And so.
- [04:28]
C
And so to his first playoff win at Chicago. You make sure. You make sure when you talk to the media, you talk to them how this crowd tonight, they made a difference. All right, Man, I'm so proud of you guys to do what you just did. I said it at halftime, right? This is one that you'll never forget.
- [04:58]
A
Yes, sir.
- [04:59]
C
This is one you'll never forget. All right, bring it on in. Good, better, bad. Never let it rest. Good gets better. Get better, get better.
- [05:24]
A
Now, when I hear that speech, I know that the right coach can change your life.
- [05:29]
B
Yes.
- [05:29]
A
The wrong coach can also ruin your life, especially in the NFL. Caleb Williams is so thankful to Ben Johnson because he's given him someone that is going to teach him how to play the game the right way and the long game in the NFL. He didn't have that with Matt Eberfluss in the coaching staff when he first got there. Yeah. It's part of the reason I gave my take that I thought he shouldn't have gone to Chicago because of the situation that he was going in. Now, everything that I predicted would happen in Chicago happened last year. But as soon as they decided to hire Ben Johnson, I said, this is the right man for Caleb Williams. Despite everybody else saying, oh, no, their personalities won't match. Whatever, whatever. Look at the way Ben Johnson's looking at Caleb Williams when he's getting emotional, saying, this man has been instrumental in my life. Those are normally speeches that you save for your day. Daddy, grandpappy. He said that about Ben Johnson because he has completely come in there, changed the mindset of the team and created an environment where Caleb Williams can grow. So I absolutely love this for Chicago Bear fans and I couldn't be happier for Caleb Williams.
- [06:37]
B
Yeah. Talking about Ben Johnson, let's also show you guys this handshake between Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur after the game. Oh, what do you think about that?
- [06:54]
A
Like you think that's a beef, you know, And Ben Johnson came in when he got the job in his, in his first press conference, you remember, he said, oh, I kind of like beating that guy Matt LaFleur over in Green Bay. And it became a big story. Well, right there, that might be one of the spiciest, spiciest, spiciest handshakes I've ever seen. It was borderline.
- [07:18]
B
He didn't do a stop.
- [07:19]
A
He was borderline. It wasn't even borderline. It was disrespectful. He said, ah, f you. So let's. The Chicago Bears, Packers. That robbery is not going anywhere. And you can tell those two coaches do not like each other. You love to see it, man. That's awesome.
- [07:41]
B
Virus. Final number one. The Rams and the Panthers were in the close one in that wild NFC wild card battle. The Los Angeles Rams held on to beat the Carolina Panthers 3431 in Charlotte. After trading lead all the game, Matthew Stafford calmly led a 71 yard late game drive kept by a 38 second game winning touchdown to Colby Parkinson, lifting the Rams into the divisional round. Carolina fought hard behind Bryce Young's dual threat play, but LA's clutch execution down the stretch sealed it. Now Stafford also passed Kurt Warner for the most postseason passing yards and completions in the Rams history. There's a clapping spot in there somewhere.
- [08:23]
A
Congratulations. Congratulations.
- [08:26]
B
Did the Rams struggling against the Panthers kind of concern you?
- [08:30]
A
Nah, nah, it didn't concern me at all because the Panthers actually beat the Rams in November. And for me, in the NFL, styles make fights, right? They talk about that in boxing all the time. Sometimes you'd be like, why did that guy struggle so much against him? Well, maybe he was a little bit more of a defensive fighter, whatever it may be. But when you look at the way that the Panthers are structured, they got two really good corners that match up really well with Puka Nakua and Devonte. Adams had a hell of a game. I know Puka's crazy, but they also have a front that. That can, you know, minimize the running game that the Rams and the way that they like to run it. And I think offensively, it's. It's two things. It's the fact that the Panthers have a dang basketball team out there at wide receiver, and in that tight end, you look at Tetaroa McMillan, 6 foot 4, Jalen Coker, 6 foot 3, Tommy Trimble, 6 foot 4, and then you also have Bryce Young's legs. Bryce Young, I thought, used his legs extremely effectively in this game. And that's why I feel like the Panthers were in this when a lot of people thought they'd get blown out by the Rams. Now the Rams have to go up against the Bears in this next round of the divisional, the division around, the playoffs. And that, to me, is going to be an even tougher battle for the Rams. Because now, offensively, you don't just have to deal with the scrambling ability that Bryce Young has that he brings to the table. Caleb Williams has that, but he also will push the ball down the field. So I think from a team speed perspective, the Rams are going to be going up against DJ Moore, Roma, Dunze, Luther Burden, the tight ends, Colson Loveland that they have. And that's going to be a little bit more of a test, especially with this Rams defense being ranked 20th in passing, defensive yards and passing yards given up during the season. I think they're going to get tested vertically a lot more, and the Bears are coming in really confident. Like we said, they played a terrible game.
- [10:25]
B
Yeah.
- [10:25]
A
For three quarters, and then the fourth, they turned it on. If the Bears can play like they played in the fourth for even 45 minutes, it's going to be a tough day for the Rams. I'm not predicting who's going to win. I'm just saying I think it's going to be an amazing game.
- [10:39]
B
Do you think. Do you think Bryce Young is the franchise QB for the Panthers?
- [10:44]
A
I do. I think absolutely. Bryce Young is the franchise quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.
- [10:49]
B
Why?
- [10:50]
A
To me, the narrative around Bryce has always been, hey, you can't put the team on his back, like, going to this Game like, oh, you can't put the team on his arm. Yeah, well, he did it this game.
- [11:01]
B
He did.
- [11:02]
A
He did it numerous times throughout the season. He did it against the Rams when they beat them early in the year. He did it against the Falcons early in the year. He put the team on his arm. And in this game, in the biggest moments, in the biggest, brightest moments, Bryce Young made the play when they needed him to, including the last play of the game when they're trying to drive down and go put themselves in scoring position. He made that throw. It was just dropped. So I think for him, he proved that in the biggest moments, he will show up. He proved that. Hey, the investments you put into this offensive line benefited me. He was sacked significantly less this year than he was when he was a rookie. It's because of the investments they put in the offensive line, their running game. Yes, I know there's some, some things going on there, but with Rico Dowdle and, and him wanting more carries. But if he's going to be going away in free agency, you got to bring in another guy to spell Chuba Hubbard so you can reinvigorate that run game again. And I think they have to bring in another weapon in the wide receiver room. You're really confident with Tetaro McMillan. You're really confident with Jalen Coker. I think everybody would say that Xavier Leggett hasn't quite been what they wanted him to be. So you either continue to go down that path and instill confidence in him or you go get you a guy that you are confident in that can be that third dynamic receiver for you to really open up this offense. But I think Bryce Young proved this year that he is the franchise quarterback. They did pick up his fifth year option and now you build around that.
- [12:32]
B
I agree all. By the way, all of these games this past weekend were freaking incredible. Unbelievable, unbelievable games starting from college football to NFL like just unbelievable games.
- [12:42]
A
The NFL script writers are in their bag this year. Great job, guys.
- [12:47]
B
Viral spiral number two. Eagles and 49ers In a gritty NFC wild card showdown, the San Francisco 49ers knocked off defending Super bowl champs the Eagles in 23:19 in Philly.
- [13:00]
A
Wow.
- [13:01]
B
Brock Birdie's late six yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey gave San Francisco the lead. Backed by a creative trick play touchdown and a clutch fourth quarter execution, the 49ers held tough to advance to the divisional round and send the Eagles home. Huh? Talking about Cam Newton. Is Brock Purdy just a game manager?
- [13:22]
A
Hell no. Brock Purdy Is not just a game manager.
- [13:27]
B
No, he's not.
- [13:28]
A
Brock Purdy is a franchise quarterback. And I'm telling y' all guys, this game manager, game changer thing is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. You know why? Because every quarterback, every quarterback is a game changer. They literally change the game with every decision they make. Now, I didn't say every quarterback was a. Was a good game changer.
- [13:52]
B
That's exactly what I was going to say.
- [13:53]
A
Positive game changer. But they're all game changers. But not every quarterback is a franchise QB who you can count on to get you to the promised land. Yes, you can count on Brock Purdy to get you to the promised land. Not just to the super bowl, but to win you the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles had all the stars. I'm talking about 2000 yard rusher and Saquon Barkley from last year. They got the Super Bowl MVP. And Jaylen Herz, they had two number one wide receivers in A.J. brown and Devonte Smith. They had a number one tight end. And Dallas Godard, they have one of the best defenses in the league. Ferocious up front. Jalen Spitting Carter, you talking about Jordan Davis, all 399 pounds of him, trying to come down on him. And what happened with Brock Purdy? Brock Purdy was. Didn't have George Kittle. George K. Got hurt. He didn't have Brandon Iuk this year. No Depot Samuel because he's in Washington. So without all the fixings, right? All the. Without all the fixings at the dinner table, Brock Purdy found a way to get it done. And guess what? He didn't have his best game. He threw two really bad interceptions. But when they needed him the most, he came down the field and led them on a touchdown drive. That's what you want to see from a franchise quarterback. It doesn't matter what happened in the first three quarters. It doesn't matter what happened in the first 50 minutes of the game. What matters is how you finish. And to me, Brock Purdy getting Demarcus Robinson to have 100 yards receiving going with Juwan Jennings balling out Christian McCaffrey. And you're talking about Kyle Jus check becoming essentially George Kittle on the fly. That was a litmus test for Brock Purdy. So all the Brock Purdy haters out there need to shut up.
- [15:50]
B
How can you even hate on Brock Purdy for like his story is incredible, you know, unbelievable. You. I feel like he has done so well by now that like you, even if you were a hater. You can't hate anymore. Like coming from being Mr. Irrelevant in the draft and going to do everything he has done up to this point, how can you still possibly be hating on him? Take us to Juan Jennings. Double pass touchdown. He's the first player in NFL history with a perfect 158.3 pass a rating in multiple playoff games for the same team.
- [16:23]
A
Yep. Did you guys know that Juwan Jennings was actually ranked higher than Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow coming out of high school as a dual threat quarterback?
- [16:39]
B
I did not know that.
- [16:41]
A
You know, he's been thrust into action so many different times, but when it comes to, to throwing that thing, he just let everybody in the country know, hey, I packed that thing too. And that was, you know, pretty, pretty, pretty incredible play.
- [16:54]
B
Let's, let's go to Philly for a second. Eagles head coach Nixer Sirianni and AJ Brown were seeing kind of yelling at each other on the sidelines. Let me take that back. Not kind of yelling. They were definitely yelling at each other on the sidelines because A.J. brown just, you know, didn't get it, didn't run off the field. It doesn't feel like, you know, the tension tensions there all time high between A.J. brown and, and Eagles. Do you think the Eagles have to move on from A.J.
- [17:23]
A
Brown? I understand why you paused.
- [17:27]
B
Yeah.
- [17:27]
A
And the answer is yes. It's time for the Philadelphia Eagles to move on from A.J. brown. It's become too toxic.
- [17:35]
B
That's what I was gonna say. Just seems toxic by this point.
- [17:38]
A
It's. It's become a distraction that was welcomed.
- [17:42]
B
Yeah.
- [17:43]
A
You know, really early in the year by him and then even more so throughout the year. And when you win, it's not a problem in an NFL locker room. I've been a part of teams that were the closest ever and didn't win a lot of games, I. E. Cleveland. I've also been on teams that were fighting in the locker room at halftime right before we went out and won a division championship in Washington. So when I look at this from the Philadelphia Eagles perspective, when you win, it's not a problem when you lose. And that player that's complaining also is the one dropping passes late in the game. Even early in the game, but especially late in the game after you've gone toe to toe, you know, full on measuring contests with your head coach and then you're dropping crucial passes that are, that could put your team in position to win.
- [18:48]
B
Yeah.
- [18:50]
A
It now has become such a big problem that it's affecting everybody. I. I think the AJ Brown situation has affected AJ has affected Jalen Hurts in such a massive way that it's honestly taken away a little bit of his swag.
- [19:05]
B
Why do you feel that way?
- [19:06]
A
You know, like, when. When Jalen Hurst would go up to the podium, you know, after a game during the week, he always had, like, a quote, right? And that quote would get picked up by everybody, and they'd be like, oh.
- [19:18]
C
My God, Jalen Hurts.
- [19:20]
A
Oh, he. He's so philosophical. He's a philosophizer, right? Everyone and everybody would enjoy it and have a good time with it, and. And, like, when they played great, he would have something that would, like, bring everybody back down to earth, and I didn't hear much of that this year. AJ Brown now is at a position where I feel like he has to go. He is a good dude. He's a great player. I just feel like now AJ Brown has to go do it somewhere else because it's become too much of a distraction.
- [19:49]
B
You feel like the huddle became, like, a place of tension. Like, you. You know, you're gonna go there. Someone's gonna be feeling a certain type of way about not getting involved. Someone's gonna feel a certain type of way about something else.
- [19:59]
A
Yeah. I think the best way I could say it is, like, if your husband is complaining about the. The bedroom, you just gonna give him some. Here, damn. You want it? Here, damn. You're not gonna be, like, energetic. Enthusiastic, right?
- [20:18]
B
What you would do if he wasn't complaining, Correct.
- [20:20]
A
You just usually be like, here, damn, you want it? Whatever, you can have it, but whatever. Now as a quarterback, you feel like Jalen Hurts is out there giving here. Damn. Throws, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's a relationship between the quarterback.
- [20:35]
B
You asked for it.
- [20:35]
A
Here you go. This is a relationship between the quarterback and the receiver that goes. You don't go that deep, you know what I'm saying? Like, not that deep, but it goes very deep. And it's You. You want to feel like, hey, I'm out here playing with my guys.
- [20:49]
B
Yeah.
- [20:50]
A
You don't want to throw. Like, they had the. The. The vision on. On. On Jalen when he threw the pass to A.J. brown that he dropped across the middle, that was, like, right. Right there. And you could just look on. On Jalen's face, and he was just like, here. Damn. God. God damn. He didn't take it. Good God. And he threw it. He threw it, and his face, like, didn't change. And when he dropped it. They took the camera away. I wish they would have kept it on him because I promise you would have been somebody. See, see what I'm talking about? And I think in this situation you can't have your quarterback and your receiver having here damn moments. That's not really it's not healthy in a relationship between a husband and a wife is dang sure not healthy in a relationship between a quarterback and a wide receiver. So as with that being said, I think it's time for both parties to get a reset and for AJ Brown to go be a great dynamic player somewhere else.
- [21:40]
B
That's such a good example. So so out of pocket but such.
- [21:43]
A
A good example as the show is.
- [21:45]
B
Called Myrospiral Number three Jaguars and Bills had themselves an all timer in a wild AFC wildcat slugfest. The Buffalo Bills aged the Jaguars 27 to 24 in a Jacksonville behind MVP Josh Allen's great and late game heroics. Buffalo snapped a 33 year road win playoff drought by outlasting the Jaguars through the fourth quarter that saw the most lead changes in postseason game in NFL history. Josh Allen's one yard touchdown run with just over a minute left and an interception by Cole Bishop iced the game to send the Bills to the divisional round. Is this the year Josh Allen and the Buffalo wins are going to win the Super Bowl?
- [22:27]
A
It's the year for them to win the Super Bowl. So yes, because he's the most trusted quarterback left in the afc, you trust him more than Drake May, you trust him more than Bo Nix, you trust him more than 42 year old Aaron Rodgers and you trust him more than CJ Stroud. Why? Because he's been there. He's done it. He hasn't won the super bowl, but he has performed at such a high level in the playoffs. But before we get to those numbers, I want to say it's the year for the Bills to win the Super Bowl. But it is not a legacy defining playoffs for Josh Allen if he doesn't win the super bowl just because Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes aren't in the playoffs, Josh Allen's playoff legacy is already solidified. Notice I didn't say super bowl, but his playoff legacy. Right now Josh Allen ranks first all time in total yards per game with 309.5. He's third all time in touch total touchdowns per game with 2.5 and he's number one all time in total touchdown to turnover ratio 35. 6. Josh Allen himself has never lost a playoff game because wins aren't a quarterback stat, but at 29 years old, saying that his entire career will be defined by this single playoffs just for clicks is absolutely embarrassing. And you clowns out there who do that shouldn't be on tv. You don't know ball, and you're simply using Josh Allen to try to stay relevant because they ain't saying dumb shit is all you do anyway. So now that I got that off my chest, take a deep breath. The fans shouldn't be forced, in my opinion, to listen to that type of drivel from clowns who just because it creates a false narrative or whatever, they feel like they're doing their job well. What it does for the players is it puts them in a position where now they have negative things attached to the name that they don't deserve. Josh Allen is a unbelievable young quarterback in the NFL when we all know it's very hard to win a Super bowl, trust me, I know I didn't win one. I know how hard it is. I didn't win a Super Bowl. I've been a part of teams that were close, that were right there on the precipice, that could have been there, but we didn't. It is very difficult no matter how dominant you are. So I don't think it's accurate. It's certainly not fair, and it damn sure ain't justified to be doing those types of things. Clownish behavior, attaching those things to Josh Allen. And I'm glad that Josh Allen and the Bills shut those clowns up. Now to get back to some more facts. Josh Allen has to go through three top defenses, three top five defenses just to get to the Super Bowl. The AFC is absolutely loaded, but for him to get his first road playoff win with no turnovers, playing great in the clutch and all that, with the amount of injuries they have on both sides of the ball. This was arguably the greatest game that I've ever seen Josh Allen play because of the stakes, because every ignorant pundit out there pick the Jags to beat the Bills. This was a master, a master class, in my opinion, from Josh Allen. And I'm looking forward to seeing him continue to march his Bills towards the Super Bowl.
- [25:53]
B
I wanted to say that, like, this is such a, such a weird year because like you said, the Ravens are out, the, the Kansas City Chiefs are out, the Eagles are out. But then you mentioned that, that Josh Allen has to go through three of the top five defenses to get to win the Super Bowl. So, like, this seems like the year of the defense. Like, defenses have just Been making all the plays, doing all the good stuff. Interesting. It's so interesting.
- [26:21]
A
And this is why I know you know ball. So anybody out there that's got anything to say, yes, she is a female and she knows ball. If and you don't like the word female, she is a woman, grown woman who knows ball. Here we go.
- [26:36]
B
Viral spiral number 4. Chargers and Patriots had the D say what? In a defensive slug fest to close out wild card weekend, the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers 16 3. Holding the bolts high powered offense in check and shutting down Justin Herbert's scoring chances. Drake May, in just his second season, delivered a clutch 28 yard touchdown pass to Hunter Henry in the fourth quarter, giving new England the edge and their first playoff win in years as the Patriots advance to the divisional round. So do you think the Patriots have enough or what it takes to win the Super Bowl?
- [27:16]
A
Yes, I believe the Patriots have enough to win the super bowl, but they won't do it if they can't protect their quarterback. Drake May got sacked five times in this game and the O line couldn't give him enough time to make throws down the field consistent consistently. So this is when, in my opinion, Drake May has to unleash his full abilities. I, and I say this because Drake May is a dynamic athlete. We get so caught up in the NFL of you got to win from the pocket, you got to do this, and yes, you do. But the NFL today is a total different monster, especially with these defenses that we just talked about in the AFC that they're going to have to go through. Drake May, the New England Patriots need you to unleash the beat least, okay? The Dragon after the, the second or third sack in a game where you feel like the pocket is just collapsing on you all the time, we need you to get in the open field and get jiggy with it, okay? Will Smith style, smack him across the face. All right. My coach used to tell me, my coach used to tell me, hey, when the O line doesn't believe they can block somebody, right, like you feel it like, damn, I gotta go get some this guy today. They need you to make a play to help them get that shot in the arm of confidence, right? So now they see you hbo, help a brother out, make a miss, get in the open field and go make a play. They're now thinking to themselves, okay, maybe I can shoot my hands a little harder this time. Maybe, maybe I can, you know, you know what? Drake May made that play. Maybe I can make a play for him and block this three technique. Who's been whipping my tail for the first two quarters of this game. But it's on us as quarterbacks sometimes to try to find a way to help out our offensive lineman. That's what I think Drake, Drake May needs to do. When the going gets tough and the sacks start to add up, you have to take the mindset of, yes, I'm going to treat each play as its own play. But on top of that, if I know my left guard can't block him, I'm gonna go to him and say, I got you. Watch this and go make a play.
- [29:27]
B
All right? Out of pocket. Take it a week. College Football Edition. Miami Ole Miss. I'm gonna ask it again. Is the U back?
- [29:36]
A
Yes. Either said Mario Cristobal. Didn't want to say it, but the U is back.

I asked you that last in last week's episode. I'm like, is the U back? And I feel like I can't ask that anymore because I feel like now it feels more of a statement than a question because now I feel like the U is back.
- [29:51]
A
Yes, the U is back. And I think this. It's not all about the quarterback, right? The U is back because of their defense, Mazador and Bane, off the edge, they create a certain identity. Keante Scott at the defensive back position creates a certain identity for them to where they have that swag that we talked about last week. But this is about Miami getting back to what they are. They're. The culture of Miami has never been clean cut. You know what I'm saying? Good guys.

B
It's been bbls.

So now you got Carson Beck out there and he, as a corporation quarterback had brought so much baggage with him over from the sec, over from Georgia, the relationship with Hannah Cavender, all that stuff going on, and now he gets to rub it in the face of all those people who doubted him. And that to me, it's not the entire identity of Miami, but it's part of the identity there. It's us against the world in that sense. The U is back, but they got their hands full with Indiana coming through the door next in this national championship. Facts, facts, facts. And I gotta say, I am sad for Ole Miss. You know, Ole Miss losing that game against Miami. They were America's team because of everything that went down and how Lane Kiffin left and I think Trinidad Chambliss, he did get his sixth year. Denied that he applied for. But he is going to be a really interesting prospect as we go into the draft to see how NFL Teams view him, but I just want to tip my cap to Ole Miss on a great season. Yes, I think they, the way that they rallied behind Pete Golding and around Charlie Weiss Jr. And their quarterback and their team was truly special to see.

Out of pocket take of the week. Number two. Is Indiana the greatest team in college football history?
- [31:45]
A
I mean.
- [31:47]
B
Yes.
- [31:48]
A
You're not. You got to listen, you got to listen. Okay, don't panic, don't panic. All right. LSU 2016, unbelievable team. Joe Burrow and those Bo went out there and did their thing.
- [31:57]
B
Florida State 2013, unbelievable team.
- [31:59]
A
Unbelievable team. Miami 2001 team, first, second and third string teams all would have probably won the national championship that year. So hear me out. The reason I think that this Indiana team is the best team in college football history is because of their experience. All right? And experience now in college football trumps being a five star recruit. Okay? Miami's team in 2001 would never exist today because of the transfer portal, because of nil. But even that, that Miami team didn't have an average age of 23 years old. Okay? So Indiana and their roster has an average age of 23. For perspective, the Green Bay packers average age on their roster is 25. So what Kirstignetti has done through the transfer portal and playing six year seniors, they play more six year seniors than they play underclassmen. He's built a team of grown men, all right, that have had five, six, sometimes seven years to mature and grow and develop. So when you have grown men playing college football against little boys who are 18, 19 years old, those five stars, that 23, 24, 25 year old who's playing will always outplay that 18 to 19 year old on a consistent basis.
- [33:18]
B
That's low key, unfair.
- [33:19]
A
It's. You could say that. But BYU and Utah have been doing this for a really long time. Have they going on mission trips. Because it's a part of their face. Part of their face.
- [33:28]
B
And when they come back after two.
- [33:30]
A
Years, they're now grown men who play into their 25, 26. Okay, so now that is what college football has become. And Kirstignetti has figured that out. He always knows that 24 to 25 year old, now four star who's had a chance to develop through college football and played at other power four teams will always outplay that 18 and 19 year old five star recruit for the most part.
- [33:54]
B
Of course. It's a seven year age gap also like, come on.
- [33:58]
A
So that's why I believe Indiana is the greatest team in college football history because they're literally grown men playing college football against boys. All right.
