You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports radio. It's hour two on this Friday. It's a meat Friday at that teriyaki chicken stir fry, spring rolls. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. Nobody is more excited than the spring rolls than Todd. That's just anything that has, like a Chinese food kind of theme. Sign me up. Yeah. Let's go. Hey, you're in a great mood. Really am. Yes, we all are. We all are. We get to come to work every day. We don't have to go to work. We get to go talking sports. We're eating. We've got some big games coming up this weekend. A lot of stuff going on. So the minister of humor is here. We have a rhyme time coming up a little bit later on. Yes, we got rhyme time right before we started the show. Yeah, Fritzi. Fritzi said it to me. He goes, hey, too early for rhyme time in the new year. And I go, nope, let's start out the new year. I'm surprised we didn't have it yesterday, but wonderful attitude by you. I appreciate it. Yes, it is. I. Hey, I'm a new me towards you. It's refreshing. I like it. Yes. That's my new year's resolution. When your wife and your daughter cornered me at my Christmas party and started interrogating me and they were breaking me down of, you know, can you be nicer to Todd. And I said, I, yes, I will be nicer to Todd. That is my goal, to be nicer to you. It's lovely knowing how sensitive I am. That helps. That helps the whole thing. Yes. I don't know if it's best for the show when I'm nice. Probably not. Now, do you want. Do you want have happy feelings or do you want to have a good show? I ultimately want to have a good show. Why can't we have the best of both worlds? I don't know if I have to be predicated upon. It can't be a good show if I don't rip Fritzi a few times. Why does that have to be yes, Marvin, Fair question. Has anybody else's significant others cornered you and asked you to be nicer to them? No. No. Either they don't care how I treat their husbands, or it's they're happy how I'm treating their husband. I don't know. Or they could fight their own battles. Yeah. For me. Why don't you talk to him? Because he won't listen to me. I saw Paulie's wife. She didn't say anything other than merry Christmas. Seton's wife. Your wife, Marvin. They were very complimentary, very nice. Appreciate. You know, the. The opportunity that I've. I've given you that to be great, to be a Dan it. There's a Danette in all of us. Well said. Well said. Is it well said? Do you want a Dan at in you? Whoa, whoa. Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of this program. Fritzi. Dan Orlofsky of the mothership will join us. Coming up. Spend a lot of time talking about Notre Dame, getting it done against Georgia. I don't think it's the end of the SEC as we know it, but I do think they. They can't have blinders on. They got to be aware it's like Clemson with Dabo Sweeney. I'm not doing this, and I'm not doing this. Transfer port open. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. Yes, you are. Because everybody else is. And those days of, you know, there were certain times, certain programs like UCLA back in the 60s and 70s, they didn't have to recruit. You wanted to go there. You. You were lucky if they acknowledge Kentucky basketball back in the 70s and maybe the 80s, it was, hey, well, we might recruit you. You wanted to be recruited. So they didn't even have to work. Now you got to work because now it's transfer portal. It's nil. You got to also recruit. And this is why you're seeing it. It's a young man's game when it comes to coaching. You know, Nick Saban doesn't want to put up with this. He left, you know, Jay Wright at Villanova. I mean, this is you, even basketball. And you only have to recruit a couple of kids to get a couple of transfers here. But when Jim Laranega, who's a wonderful man, coached at Miami and he said, you know, we went to the Final Four and then I've got eight players who want to transfer him. Like, why? They wanted money, they wanted more money. And he's like, I got, I got to, I got to get out of here. This isn't what I signed up for. You got to be ready for this. And the coaches that are old school, you know, you're going to get your lunch handed to you now. That Georgia team was not a great team. I think we said that during the season. Didn't have the firepower, didn't have a running game. Your quarterback got injured. And I thought Notre Dame came prepared to take on SEC teams. And for years they always look slower, smaller and outmanned. And last night they were better than Georgia and showed it. And the SEC has not done well. I mean, the SEC can lay claim to Texas. I'm not going to let you do that. I mean, they've been there for what, not even 12 months. So you can't say we got one in the Final Four. Not really. Not really. You got kind of humbled here. Now you can say, yeah, but we got some teams into the playoffs. You did, but you know, they got some got roughed up. Alabama didn't get in, didn't deserve to get in. But we got these brands that we go. You got to put them in. You got to put them in. You don't have to, you know, this isn't Nick Saban, this isn't Urban Meer, this isn't Steve Spurier. It's not their SEC anymore. This is different. Yes. Marv. Yeah. Long gone are the days where Alvin Camara was the fourth string running back at Alabama and he had the transfer, transfer Frank Gore at Miami, he was a third string. All those guys, Kellen Winslow couldn't even see the field at Miami. Those gate, those days are over. Yes. Because you used to be able to stockpile. I mean, you could have a hundred players, guys who didn't even suit up. And they waited their turn. They had no place to go, transfer. You had to sit out A year now it's like, hey, I'm ready to go. Look at Notre Dame with the quarterbacking situation. Sam Hartman, Riley Leonard, proven commodities. And they were playing for programs that you didn't notice. You know, you're not watching Wake Forest, you're not watching Duke, and then all of a sudden you go, where's this guy from? And the guy can play. Riley Leonard was very good last night. And. And, you know, Georgia didn't have Carson back. And I don't think Carson Beck is a great quarterback, but he would have been an upgrade. But I don't think they would have beaten Notre Dame. But I do think we're starting to see nil and the transfer portal. You have more teams who are now can make it to the playoffs. So now you'll spend that money. Now you'll. You'll make that extra effort to bring somebody in. And it, you know, might be the. The end of these dinosaur kind of coaches who were there for 20, 30 years in the business. I don't. I think it'll drive them out because I think there's a whole lot to navigate and we don't even know where this sport's going in the next five years. But you're looking for more control. They're desperate for that control. That's what's driving these coaches crazy. Because, you know, you'll hear things like Nick Saban saying, oh, you shouldn't be able to transfer before a bowl game. I think Nick left a job and took another job during bull season a long time ago. Like, let's stop with the hypocrisy. It's happening now. Can you. You kind of mend it, mold it how you want it so it's betterment for everybody. I don't know, because it feels like these players can get paid and they can go someplace and they can play right away. That's what they want. All right, poll question for hour two is going to be what? So, you know, Connor, our two. Let's see. We could put up there. This one feels like a very deliberate poll from Paul Pabst. The most unlikely pro bowler. If I told you in August, would be Sam Darnold or Jaden Daniels, that feels like a very pro Sam Darnold.
