College football is officially back.
We had some games last week, but now the real games start to come.
And tonight's game, Georgia Tech, go on the road.
And in Folsom Field at CU, they win 27-20.
Hayes King, 13 of 20, 143.
He threw it interception, but it was his legs that was the difference.
19 rushes, a buck 56, three rushing touchdowns.
The last one, 45 yards to put them ahead with a minute and seven seconds left in the ball game.
And they go on the road and they defeat the Buffaloes 27-20.
The first game with Okshadur Sanders and
the receiver, Travis Carter.
So Colorado is under a new era now.
Hey,
Kalen Salt, I think that's his name.
17 to 28, 159, one touchdown.
They ran the ball really well, 31 for a buck 46, but it was Georgia Tech, 47 rushes, 327
yards.
Ocho,
I was disgusted watching this game.
I say, what about gap integrity?
What about contain?
Georgia Tech has run the football since I was a kid.
Even when they had Megatron, they ran the damn football.
When they had Demarius Thomas, they ran the football.
Georgia Tech runs the football.
It's like if you play the Naval Academy or Army.
You know they're going to run the football, OJo.
I'm like, Livingston, are you going to make any adjustment?
Guys, what is your responsibility?
What about your gap of integrity?
What about your contained responsibility?
I'm like, this is utterly ridiculous.
And quarterback, Salter.
Bro, you missed entirely too many throws.
He missed entirely too many throws, Ocho.
And number 20 got a nice set of hands on him, the running back.
Bro, he wide open.
And I hate when quarterbacks do this, Ojo.
When you miss a throw, you go to the running back or you go to the wide receiver.
Tell me about, I want you.
No, bro, I was right there.
Put it on me.
All you had to do is hit me right here.
Don't tell me,
don't do that.
Don't do that.
You effed it up.
And he had the guy on third and 10.
He missed entirely too many throws, but their defense let him down tonight.
You can't let somebody come into your building and run the ball 47 times for 320, 20 yards.
Hold on, let me see what, hold on, before you go, Ocho, let me see what,
yes, sir.
See if I want to see.
No, I want to go back.
Box score.
Man, Ocho, this was, I'm like, but I knew I was on the phone with my brother early in the game.
I say, Spank, a team give you three turnovers at home in the first quarter and you only score seven points, you telling that team, beat me, beat me, kick our ass.
You're supposed to have a barrel.
They didn't, and they got what they deserved.
Go ahead, Ocho.
I'll fight it in a second.
Go ahead.
I say, listen, what I was going to say is, obviously, we all wanted to see what Colorado would look like without Shador Sanders, without Travis Hunter.
And they didn't look that bad.
First game of the season, you want to get the Kinks out.
You want to see what areas you need to improve in.
Obviously, we see defensively, defensively, colorado has to be able to stop the run because now it's out there on tape what do we do when we play against the colorado buffaloes to have success we run the that was the issue last year though ojo damn
that was the issue last year obviously georgia tech showed that that's an issue that's a that's an area that hasn't been filled so that needs to be addressed boom for me for me the beginning of the game georgia tech tried to hand hand the game to colorado They tried to hand the game to him.
I'm saying, well, God damn.
In my mind, I'm looking, boom, after the first turnover oh them boy went down and scored and then it was two more turnovers after that i'm like well all right i don't like the way this is looking because if you got the ball back two more times three turnovers in the first quarter for from georgia tech oh look in the first quarter and you only do something with it one time
i say you know what it's gonna come down it's gonna come down to the end it's gonna come down to the end because offensively they're not doing enough they're not doing enough offensively to to put me at ease and to put me you know to make me calm because for one the first turnover it was all the way in your territory so of course it was easy to go down and score but the other two it seemed like you really couldn't move the ball they didn't um you couldn't you really couldn't move the ball
you you you tried you tried you tried everything you could to establish the run that the run was it was they ran for oh joe they ran i mean they they ran for 146 yards
yeah but
obviously it wasn't
it wasn't enough you want you wanted you want a happy balance of both you know to to to kind of keep the keep the defense you know on on their heels on not knowing what's going to come are they going to run it are they going to throw it but they weren't good enough in the air either well
that's the quarterback ocho
look i think he has tremendous arm talent but bro you don't have to impress us with every throw of your arm you're missing routine throws he's going to have to learn how to throw better on the move because on the move he's not very good and you know we're going to we're going to be nice ocho because these are college kids these are professionals although some are making it week one
it's week one too it's week one throw it on the move that should be able to week one week no one week anything you should be able to throw he ojo the throws that he's missing because that's third down you're off the field right you want to stay on the field i want another crack give me four more cracks at you
right and we saw him miss numerous throws the second time he had an opportunity oh cho why would it he could have ran the ball to the end zone instead of throwing it
yeah bro yeah we we understand that you you have a nice arm i mean we saw him launch it 60 65 yards but bro
sometimes you got to understand okay this is an opportunity for me to
that was not the time for you to try to dazzle try to impress us with your arm pick up the first down and another thing on children i'm gonna turn it back over to you i don't know what coach prime was thinking they got the ball back with a minute and seven seconds in the ball game you got two timeouts and you don't use any you took those same two timeouts you had to start that drive and you go into the locker room with them.
So you throw one pass behind the line of scrimmage.
You get tackled.
You don't call timeout.
You complete another pass on second down.
You don't call timeout.
And then the quarterback picks up a third down, but he burns eight, nine, 10 seconds on the clock.
What the hell are y'all doing?
On the scramble.
I'm not sure what was going on in that situation.
Obviously, you want to use those timeouts to give yourself as much time as possible.
Continue Continue running play to try to get down in
some type of range to throw a Hail Mary pass.
I'm not sure what the issue was there.
But listen, they got some stuff they need to work on.
They have some stuff they need to work on.
I'm sure Prime is glad that college football is back.
We're out there playing against opponents and not just ourselves.
So we can see what areas we need to get better at.
Obviously, some areas lost some of the same stuff that we had issues with last year.
I'm going to start with just the running game, being able to stop the run game having to having the hey listen having the meat and potatoes to be able to compete up there in the trenches and stop people from running down your goddamn throat 320 that's where that's where it's 320.
yeah that's a lot that's a lot too boy oh that's that's a whole lot running the football and stopping the run is about will
It's about want to.
Because schematically, I can't do anything.
Oh, Joe.
They weren't doing anything.
He faked the toss and then they pull a guard or they pull a double guard or tackle or they'll pull a guard and they'll pull a running back.
That's all they were doing.
They weren't doing anything.
The past game, schematically, Ocho, I can scheme people.
When I run the football, it wasn't nothing fancy.
It was nothing.
It was our guys kick your guys' ass.
That's what we did.
And that's why football is, for me, mentally the toughest sport because you know why, Ocho?
You're asking one man to move another man against his will.
now i know colorado didn't want to leave that that patch of grass that that that a gap that b gap that c or contain i know they didn't want to leave it yeah but georgia tech said you getting your ass up out of here you getting up out of here
yeah
and i'm like bro what
livingston I know, A, and look, you go back and you watch the film.
There's a lot.
There is nothing.
You didn't really do a whole lot good other than the fact, you know, when they got the lead, I mean, you came down they got winned got 20 you matched them but then they go right back down the field right back down the field and they ran the football on you
do you know what it takes to take the goal 75 65 70 yards and i just run it i think they threw one pass i think they threw one pass yeah on the yeah on the on the ground at that on the ground at that hey listen you know you know the difference You know the difference and what matters when it comes to wins and losses.
What you got up there in your front, what you got up there in the trenches.
You ain't got to, you ain't got to listen.
If you ain't got enough meat and potatoes up there in your front, in your front yard, and you got them boys ain't got enough rocks in their back pocket,
you're going to get moved around.
You can get pushed around.
You know, you understand that.
And that's what you saw tonight.
Week one.
The same issues you had last year.
And it's only one way to fix it.
You got to get them big hogs up there.
You got to.
That's the only way to stop it.
And then if you don't have the size, you got to have people that want it.
People that got this,
that want to come downhill.
Well, you know what?
You want to move me against my will.
Well, let me show you.
I'm not one of those that you just going to.
Hey, I ain't going nowhere.
I ain't going.
I'm coming to the party.
It don't matter what time I get there, but I'm going to be there.
Corners.
Ocho, whatever happened to.
I'm not going to let my outside arm get pinned.
You never give up that leverage.
Where is the hell leverage?
Where's contained?
Don't know.
I mean, I'm sure it's hard for me to believe with the personnel that time has on that staff, they don't teach leverage.
They don't teach contain.
They don't teach gap responsibility, gap integrity.
I refuse to believe that.
And constantly,
I see DBs giving up the outside arm and the guy running down the sideline.
Constantly, I see off defensive linemen.
I'm like, bro, that is your gap.
How you let that man get you up out of there?
That is your gap.
And the funny thing about it is coaches can coach it and repeat it over and over and over and over as many times as they want.
But when the bullets is flying on, you have one responsibility to take what you're taught and execute the X's and O's.
That all comes down to want to.
That all comes down to want-to at the end of the day.
Oh, Joe.
Here's the thing.
When you walking through something, it's easy.
But if you want to find out what a man can do, put him to the test.
The test is when the,
hut, when that ball moves.
That's the test.
See,
I know what you're doing when you're walking through.
I know what you're doing.
But if you want to know what a man can really do, put him to the test.
Put his ass under the gun.
And let's see what he does.
Because I've seen so many guys, and you have too, in practice,
they look like Odell Beck will catch the ball.
They running the ball.
I'm like, well, damn, look at how you break on the ball.
Deion Sanders.
And then getting the game, and he's playing like Colonel Sanders.
I'm like, oh, no, hell no.
Bab please.
So,
but I'm chat.
I'm sorry.
Chad, I'm on one tonight.
If you guys could tell,
that Colorado game got me pissed off.
I don't know.
I'm to the highest.
I'm pistivity.
Is that a word?
Yeah.
Hey, who you
playing like, Colonel Who?
Yeah.
I mean, in practice, they looking like Deion Sanders breaking on the ball.
Now they get in the game.
They're looking like Colonel Sanders.
Fried chicken.
Man,
and I'm looking, and I understand, oh, Joe, I understand.
Some of these guys, I mean, I mean, starting for the first time, the bright lights.
But
that's what
makes us who we are to being able to to perform
under under duress under adversity and not forget that I can't get my eyes out on pin.
I got to hold contain.
I've got to maintain my leverage.
I got to have sound gap responsibility.
And you can't throw that out the window because now all of a sudden they firing off the ball.
That's the thing.
You've got got to be able to hold that.
And Chad, I'm not, look,
maybe
I'm using turn, but you watched the game.
You saw what I saw.
Hell, my old ass could have ran through some of them holes.
Now I wouldn't have got no 45 yards, but I'd have got a first down.
I'm like, damn.

They've got, look, it's the first game ojo.
And for me, I've always felt that I wanted at home, especially the first game ojo.
I gotta win.
I gotta hold serve at home.
Gotta win that.
Got to.
And listen, they had plenty opportunity, they had opportunity.
When they got those two, those that second and that third turnover and
didn't do anything with the ball, I said it's gonna be a long life.
I told Spake, I said, Colorado
because that
should have set the tone for the game, right?
You should have put them down.
At worst-case scenario, you'll put him down 13-0, 17-0.
At worst case, but with three turnovers, and that team's on the road, you're in your home, it can't be seven-nothing going into the second quarter.
It cannot be, it cannot be.
And
it puts all the pressure back on Georgia Tech.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Ocho.
No, I'm going to say it puts all the pressure back on Georgia Tech where you won't have that comfortability of being able to run the ball.
All second half, all second half loss.
Because guess what, Ocho?
I still got you.
I still, hey, you didn't take me out.
You didn't take me out of what I want to do.
because it's only 7-0.
Now, maybe if it's 17-0, maybe if it's 21-0, I force you to throw the the
thank you.
But now, I got a chain of game.
Even with these turnovers, you allow me to still stay in my comfort zone.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Hey, I don't know how they do it, Ocho, but most of the time, if somebody, if you don't make somebody get up out of the, if you got, if you rent an apartment, if you somebody landlord, and they go and they go a month or two and they ain't paid you your money, there's a good chance they're not gonna pay you every week three, a month four, month five, month six.
Yeah.
So they squatting.
They squatting basically.
I've got them.
Okay.
Guess what?
You come home and it locked.
It padlocked.
Or the locks changed.
Uh-huh.
And then I don't know why.
I don't know what happened.
I know what happened.
You $13,000, you're $15,000 in arrears on rent.
And I've got responsibility.
I got banks that want their mortgage
on this building.
And you talk about,
man, that bank don't want to hear nothing about you lost your job.
Right.
Because I can't, you know what?
I'm going to bring you your money next month because, you know, a couple of my tenants lost their job.
They're not trying to hear that, Ocho.
So in this situation right here, all Colorado did was yell across the field, hey, appreciate them three turnovers.
Now kick our ass.
Yeah, that's it.
Three turnovers in the first one, Ocho.
Yeah, you got to do something with that.
After the second one, I say, okay, if they get another one,
we got it we got we got to we got to find a way to get the game out of their hands
you get it make it a little easy on the back end but once they after that second one and they went damn damn near damn near three and out they did damn near might might might might as well have been i say you know it's gonna be a long no i knew i knew they wouldn't win this game once they got them three turnovers in the first quarter and they only came away with seven points and you allowed georgia tech to stay within the scheme of what they want to do the first thing i want to do if you are a running team, I want to get you out of that.
I don't want you to be able to run the football.
I want to, what is it?
What do you do?
What is the second best thing that you do?
I want you to play to that.
I don't want you to play to your strength, Ojo.
I want you to play to your weakness.
And if you beat me with your weakness, Ojo, I come to the center of the field.
Congratulations.
Good job.
Hey, stay healthy.
I'll see you down the road, coach.
But I'm not going to let you beat me when I know that's what you want to do.
Right.
But like I said,
I know the D coordinator, I understand y'all put a lot of time in because you know what Georgia Tech does.
Georgia Tech wants to run the football.
But your gap integrity, your leverage, your contain was pissed poor.
And that'll cause you to lose a lot of games.
That'll cause you to lose a lot of games.
We had this conversation last year when they played Kansas.
We've had these conversations over the years when we're discussing Colorado about being able to stop the run.
Now, one thing I will say, Ocho, they look better in pass protection.
That left tackle is going to go play at the next level.
That left tackle, number 77, he's going to go play at the next level.
He's going to go play.
He's going to be playing on Sundays.
But they got to do a better job.
I don't care how good you are offensively.
If you cannot stop the run,
because they're just possessing, I mean, think about it.
They still have five more minutes of possession with three turnovers.
And a lot of turnovers are like two plays, one play, turnover three plays turnover
you give them you're giving the ball back too fast you're not doing nothing with it not doing you're not not doing nothing with it man i jump man i was
man i was so frustrated because i'm like bro
oh hold on you think you frustrated tonight wait till you wait wait till you see tomorrow's game you might be frustrated again who who played tomorrow oh Clemson?
Well, Texas and Ohio State.
What you mean?
Who played tomorrow?
I think the thing is, Ocho, when games, if you know somebody, I'm going to be watching because I like Sark.
I know Sark.
He and I, we communicate.
So, yes,
I'm going to be pulling for Sark.
I'm sorry, chat.
Yeah, I'm going to be pulling for Sark because I like him.
But, you know, when you know time, you kind of vest it.
You know, you and I both have gone to see you, watch them play.
It's a great atmosphere.
And this was a winnable game for Colorado.
But they did everything they possibly could to help Georgia Tech steal it from them.
But Georgia Tech didn't steal it.
They went on the road.
They outplayed them.
And Coach says, look, we got,
give their defense credit because the defense bowls their back because they got the three.
They only gave up seven points on those three turnovers.
So that could have, they could have gotten, they could have gotten out of hand.
Colorado took care of the football.
They didn't turn it over not one time.
They had less penalties.
But
when you let a team go run for 320,
320.
I mean, first of all, 200 yards a lot.
Would you start letting teams get 300, 400 yards running on you?
Man, please.
Please.
Yeah.
But
I'm sure Coach Prime, I don't know how they do it in college, Ocho.
I mean,
we played Saturday.
We was off Sunday, unless we played like horse and coach will make us put our uniforms on and go practice.
Go practice.
I was thinking about that, Ocho.
Ocho, do you know?
I mean, think about it, Ocho, if you played a game on Monday, I mean Sunday, and Coach, and you was in Cincinnati.
They said, ocho, put your pants on.
We're going to practice on a Monday.
I don't know about that.
Hey, listen, hey, Gray, grown folk.
Now, grown folk, that ain't going to work.
We are not putting no pads on after playing a three-hour game on a Sunday.
That's not happening.
I'm not sure who the team captains would be, but I can guarantee you they will not be in no pads after game day.
Uncle, you already know how we're feeling after game day.
I absolutely know.
You know how long it takes to get out of bed after a game?
I do.
Man,
put on some pads.
Pads Who?
Shoot.
Now, uh, ain't happening.
But they'll probably have tomorrow off.
Come in Monday, watch the tape, and get ready because it's a fast turnaround, Ocho.
You can't, you can't let this linger.
That stench is there.
Look, it's been damn near 40 years since I was in college, Ocho.
But there's something about, and I was never a big, a big guy that went out after the game, but I can assure you, if we lost, you were going to see Shannon Shaw face on campus.
Oh, hell hell no you bet first of all you barely saw me after win barely i'm talking about maybe i think i went to maybe one party in four years of college right i know no no and we lose
yeah
i i'm like i'm i'm looking at the guys filing out man they they they hurrying back old child to show especially if we home right they they they hurry up the shower and go to the party
I'm like, you sorry, Mofos, y'all want people to see y'all?
Y'all just lost.
But I tell you what, though, this this is how i look at it and i'm gonna be honest you have to think my time during my tenure in cincinnati um we had what maybe one maybe two winning seasons my entire
when i was there so i had no choice but handle my business week in and week out whether we were winning or losing because i'm stepping outside
I'm stepping outside.
And I can tell you, I know exactly where I was at because I had friends of mine that I met, Maine, Rico, Los,
all them boys down there in Cincinnati as a group of five.
We've been friends since since 2001.
I have no other outside friends outside of those I met.
On the first day I got lost in Cincinnati.
First day, still friends to this day.
Dude, we go to Annie's after every game.
We play at one o'clock.
They game in at three.
We at Jail Xander's at six o'clock.
And then when 10 or whatever it calls roll around, oh, I'm going out.
I'm going out because I'm trying to enjoy myself.
get some of the soreness out walk around you know have a little fun talk to some of the fans you know the dudes out, you know, out the hood that be out off a short vine and
wherever they from, you know, just talk football.
I like that.
I was more of a people person, you know, during that time and love to talk to gaming football, whether we were losing or winning.
And I would always show my faith, whether we were losing or winning.
I mean, I had to.
I mean, one of the worst times I had, Ocho,
I was in Baltimore and we had made, I had already made reservations at Ruth Chris.
I had brought everybody in and we lost the game.
If I didn't have my mom and and my sister and all them kids, I'd cancel that.
I would get takeout.
I would get takeout.
We lost the game.
Hey, Sean, we going about such and such.
No, I'm going on home.
I'm going home.
I'm a sore loser.
I'm a worst winner.
But
I don't want to be around nobody.
I know how I am.
I'm moody.
I'm irritable.
Because guess what?
That's why y'all lost.
Y'all out here partying.
You need to be home in your playbook.
You need to be studying your play you know what i'm saying don't i ain't trying to hear that
so let me right right let me take my black ass home sulk moat and think about man what could i have done differently
right
hey
hey oh
and
i would i was hanging with with us huh i was hanging with us we have a game
We have a game of obviously we played one o'clock.
I swear for God, you would think I wasn't even a football player.
But one, not just a football player, but a star football player at that.
Because if you want to catch me at the football game before me and the fellas go eat dinner, you can just catch me on short vine.
You can catch me down the way.
I go see my little young bulls that enjoy the game of football.
I sit there with them, talk about the game for a little bit, you know, chit-chat.
We on the corner, Uncle.
We on the corner in Cincinnati, just chilling.
Ain't nothing.
I'm going home.
Talking football.
For about an hour or two, I sit there with them, smoke a cigar after the game.
Boom, I go down to J.
Alexander's.
My routine was the exact same for a decade straight.
It never changed.
Well, I don't know if they're still in existence, but I would go, I would call, I would get black eye peas with the name of the restaurant.
I would get the grilled chicken or the country-friend steak.
I would get colonel, I would get rice, I would get colonel corn, and I would get black eyed peas.
I'd get a combination of like lemon, lemon tea, lemon, raspberry tea or something, and I'm going home.
Yeah.
That's it.
I'm going home.
I want to be miserable by myself.
I don't want to see nobody.
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want nobody to tell me you played a good game because I played like dog.
I don't care if I have 150.
I played terrible.
I didn't play good enough to win.
And I don't want nobody to try to pat me on the back.
You guys are going to get.
No, you're not.
No.
I don't know what's going to happen after this.
I'm talking about this game.
So
I know how I am.
I've always been like this.
We lost the game in high school.
Hey, Shaw, we got, man, I'm going home.
Coach, take me home.
If we win, your boy, your boy, hey, I'm going to walk the streets with y'all.
Right.
But if we lose, right, right.
Yeah, you, you, you ain't gonna see me.
So you say, you taking it out.
Nah, I feel like.
Nah, because I know.
Because, oh, y'all, I've always been one of these guys that worked so hard for it.
I know what I put in.
And the more you put into something, the more it hurt when it doesn't work out in your favor.
You see, I like what you just said.
You know what you put in.
I understand what I put in.
I understand the work I put in to make sure I, it's a team game, right?
It's a team game.
When it comes time to get paid, you get paid individually.
You do.
You definitely do.
I made sure I did my
part.
If things don't now, if the other 10 don't do what they supposed to do, that is your fault.
Now,
I'm not finna punish myself.
Why am I punishing myself?
Why am I not going nowhere?
Because y'all are.
I'm going to get out here.
I'm going to go get my J-Alexander's.
I'm gonna talk to my homeboys, you know, and I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go to Annie's, and I'm gonna enjoy myself.
Now, I don't drink no alcohol, but you know, I got my fellas with me.
I got my fellas with me.
I'm gonna make sure they have a good time.
Man,
uh, oh, a transformer just
hit Joe's house, and so he ain't got no power.
Joe got buzzed up.
Look, he needs to move.
Hey,
hey, Joe, hey, Joe, over there on a hundred million dollar property,
a hundred million dollar property,
273,000 square feet, and they got no power with a goddamn generator, Joe.
Joe, with a generator, I know you got a generator out there, Joe.
Everybody should have one Atlanta because them pop-up storms are gonna pop up and knock it out, gonna knock your power out.
Hold on, can Joe see us right now?
Hey, Joe, can you see us?
He got
me, Joe.
Nah, he got a cell phone.
You don't got, oh, come on now.
You don't, you don't,
you need LTE or a G G5, what you call it, what you call the provider?
5G.
Hey, yeah, I don't require nothing.
Your phone should work.
Joe, FaceTime me, Joe, if you can see.
He can't FaceTime you.
Yes, you can.
But the internet in the house has nothing to do with your cell phone working.
Man, look here.
Okay.
Hey, he can face time i can just hold the phone up he can still be part of the show coach prime who was recently diagnosed with black but bladder cancer and needs frequently use of the restroom no longer has to travel far he has a portable toilet next to colorado's bench to accommodate him following bladder reconstruction surgery and is sponsored being man tied tie by this by
hey and hey that they that that depends well i know they i know they're paying well oh yeah for sure
because a lot of people embarrassed
I wish I would.
Why?
You know how many zeros probably?
Yeah, but I'm putting behind that right there.
I'm saying a lot of people don't want people to know that they have to wear adults' undergarment.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
You got to understand who Prime is.
You got to understand who Prime is.
He's one that could wear any and everything on his shoulders.
Don't give a damn.
But none of y'all on the outside thing.
People wear them, but they don't want to advertise it.
But like you said,
you know what I'm saying?
Hey,
hold on.
They make them for a reason.
Anytime they make something, somebody is purchasing it.
So it's a lot of, you know, sometimes women, after they have kids, it takes a while for them, for those muscles to get back strong again.
Sometimes men, they have bladder cancer, they have prostate, they have issues.
It's hard.
And some, you know, hey, my grandmother, my grandmother wouldn't wear them.
She said, Libby, I want my dignity.
So my grandmother wouldn't work, my grandmother wouldn't wear them.
And, you know, she obviously
passed.
I think Rainy was 88 she had uh may yeah in may she was 88 so she passed in july yeah so well i listen i tell you what depends if you see this come on holler at your boy ain't nothing wrong with you
hey but sometimes i do be thinking about getting me a goose man i'd be tired of walking to the bathroom man i just need to get me a goose and go right inside the bed hey Hey, give me something where I can just roll over to the right or roll over to the left.
I don't want to get up out of bed anyway because
I keep upstairs.
Oh, boy, by 60 degrees.
Hey, 60 degrees.
It's freezing up there.
So when I got to get up in the middle of the night, sometimes I don't want to do that.
I could always use some depends.
I'm going to date myself here.
And if you, if you're my age or older and you're from the south, you know what I'm talking about.
Hey, I'm going to get me a night pot or a slop jar.
See, if you're from the south and you my age or older, you know exactly.
They call them pea pots.
They call them night pots.
They call them slop jars.
I ain't never heard that.
You can Google it.
That's what that.
Anytime I say something, I see.
Hey, you know that what that means?
She immediately, anytime I say something won't choke, I can see the fake.
But yeah, but I mean, look.
To where it depends,
that's the least of the issues.
I'm glad they caught this in time.
I mean, think about it.
Boy, hey, God, good.
God, great and what he instilled in man to take his bladder and reconstruct it and use a small
man please man
but uh i like that
if anybody look

his attitude about anything he'll make anything positive it could be the worst situation he's one of the few people no matter how bad a situation is is
he can make it positive yeah he can make light of a a situation, make it
and you a and the thing you know, a
like when uh i did the interview, and i know a lot of you guys have seen the interview.

Florida State, pulls the upset, unranked Florida State, takes down the number 18 in the country.
Put pressure on Ty Simpson
pretty much all day.
He was pressured on 16 of 51 drop backs, one of 10 for 30 yards with three sacks when pressured.
Simpson was not on the same page as Ryan Williams, who left the game late with a concussion.
Simpson was just 5 of 11 when targeting him, 0-3 on passes thrown more than 5 yards down the field.
Kalen,
I was thinking to myself, Johnny, and Ocho, I was like, man, look here.
I understand.
There's not a college coach that's going to be Coach Saban, but
you can't.
He's lost to four unranked teams in 14 games.
Coach Sabin was there damn near near two decades, and he might have lost four unranked teams in his whole tenure.
And I was like, man, they might get rid of Kalen DeBoer.
But I looked at that buyout.
He has a $70 million
buyout.
They ain't got them deep pockets like y'all got Johnny down at Texas AM where y'all got a Jimbo up out of there for 77 million.
They ain't got pockets like that.
So, so Ocho, let me ask you this.
You watched Alabama.
Oh, yeah.
Coach Saban's not walking through that door anytime soon.
Okay.
Coach Saban's not walking through that door ever.
Yeah.
When you look at Alabama, they don't even look the same.
They don't have the same swagger.
They don't even take the feel the same.
Well, Uncle, got to understand, of course, they don't look the same.
This is what we're seeing now.
When Sabin was there, this was pre-NIL, huh?
This was pre-NIL.
NIL came along and even the scoreboard all the way across.
So all the talent and the players that used to go to Alabama where everybody would go and have to wait in line.
They got receiver after receiver after receiver, quarterback after quarterback after quarterback, running back after running back after running back.
Everybody going all over the place because teams have money and players don't want to sit and wait behind anybody else.
They want to play right now.
Money talks.
Which is one of the reasons why Nick Sabin left?
Because
the playing field has even where the level of talent is scattered across everywhere.
Well, now, most of the part, coaching comes into play, and coaching is that much more important.
It's that much more important now because
Florida State today, I'm not going to say they embarrass Alabama, they embarrass Alabama, but
I guarantee you a lot of people, a lot of people, especially if you gamble, I guarantee you you had Alabama to win.
I guarantee you had Alabama to win.
Johnny, what you think?
What didn't you like about what you saw from Alabama?
And what did you love about what you saw from the Seminoles?
I mean, I think Castellanos for Florida State jumped off the page in every aspect of everything.
You know, you look at what they did.
He only threw the ball nine times.
That's super effective to be able to go put 31 points up and you only throw the ball.
You're only nine of 14 for 152.
That's efficient.
The one thing that I will say that I think
in the past, you walk in face an Alabama team, you probably got a little fear.
This is Bama, the team that's been a dynasty.
The team, you got a little fear.
That fear aspect of what Alabama is is completely gone.
And nobody's scared of them boys, not not Vandi, not Kentucky, not nobody.
Nobody's walking in and seeing Alabama on the schedule and having any kind of shake, any kind of fear, nothing.
They've been getting wiped the last couple years.
You say that buyout's deep, but like they're not going to sit here and let this stand for sure.
They'll go find it in the woods somewhere.
They absolutely will because I was thinking the same thing when they said about Jimbo because prior to Jimbo, the biggest college buyout was Gus Mozan when he got 21 million to leave Auburn.
And basically, you tripled out, damn near quadrupled that with this buyout for Jimbo.
But you're absolutely right.
When you're Alabama and you've had to expect and you've done what you've done, six national championships, you lost another two ties in the championship game.
You're damn near, they called it the Alabama Invitational because Alabama was in it every year and people had them with a chance to win it every year.
You can't count Alabama out.
You can't count Alabama out.
But like you said, Johnny, nobody fears Alabama anymore.
And when you don't, when half, that's half the battle is fear.
That's one, that's one of your biggest strengths is another man's fear.
Well, they don't have that anymore.
And I'm looking at Alabama, Ojo.
Yeah.
They ain't got the same level of talent.
You're absolutely right.
When you look at, you look at the running backs, it was Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson and this one and that one.
And you look at Derrick Henry and Jameer Gibbs and this one and that one.
You go look at the wide receivers.
You went to Julio and Ridley and Cooper and this one and that one and Judy and back to back.
And you look at the quarterbacks.
You look at those big D linemen they used to have.
You look at the DBs.
They don't have that no more.
They just have guys now.
Ain't nobody just when have you watched the game, Johnny, and you played against them?
When can you honestly say you watched an Alabama team and ain't nobody jump off the page at you?
Ain't nobody like, damn, ain't nobody going to find that.
Not since the Georgia game, not since the Georgia game last year where Ryan Williams did his thing and absolutely went crazy.
You've seen one player stand out where you're like, okay, this guy is a level of talent of Alabama that we're accustomed to seeing.
Everything else, you may see a splash or a dash here or there, but you're not seeing it consistently week in and week out like you're accustomed to.
And the funny thing, too, is I said something about for me, obviously being a receiver and thinking about college football and thinking about all the players that have been promoted and advertised as opposed to be, you know, them boys.
And me saying, like, nobody popped out to me on films and people and people in the chat saying it's only week one yeah week one yes it's week one that's the whole point you allowed to pop out you say just because it's week one that don't mean you can't flash that doesn't mean you can't show that's what i'm saying what do we talk about it's only week one yes that's when you actually pop out and and you show off when you're playing against the top talent You're playing against the good teams.
These are the games you're supposed to pop out because you're trying, when you get to the next level, every week is the same thing.
Every every week you play at nfl it's them boys you playing against them boys so i'm expecting i was expecting i was expecting maybe maybe coaches want to call conservative games maybe they want to feature the players that we've all been been been noticing on commercials and seeing over and over and over so maybe
maybe next week
Maybe the week after.
I don't know.
At some point, the games for today
were okay.
The Alabama, Alabama and Florida State game to me was probably the best and the most exciting with
the Clemson game following after that.
But there's one more game we haven't talked about yet.
That was the absolute snooze fest.
I'll wait till we get there.
When I look, think about Alabama, the one thing Alabama could do was stop the run.
You know, Coach Saban, Johnny, you had to throw.
The thing that gave Coach Sabin problem has always given Coach Sabin problems, the dual threat quarterback and the guy that could pass the football.
You go back and look when they lost to Oklahoma, Trevor Knight, I think that was his name.
You look at what he did to them in the Sugar Bowl.
He stood back there and he threw the ball.
Now, the thing that gave him the most problem is a dual threat quarterback, a guy that could throw the ball and run.
You look at Johnny Manzale.
You look at Deshaun Watson.
You look at guys that Cam Newton.
You look, damn, it just so happens.
You're talking about two guys won the Heisman Trophy.
One guy was one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL before the injuries and things off the field took place.
You see, but they got ran on 49 times for 230.
coach you don't run on bamboo bamboo don't let you run they step you they stop your run and then they go hunt your quarterback they can't really hunt the quarterback they really can't consistently stop the run and custom and customianos uh was doing whatever he wanted to do like you said john extremely efficient in the passing game only threw the ball 14 times but when you can't and you know gus malzon you know what he wants to do he wants to run the football he wants to give you a lot of misdirection he's going to run jet sweep he's going to run your quarterback he's going to run his quarterback That's what he does.
Hey,
Florida State almost lost.
Not almost lost that game, but almost letting them boys back in the game, too.
After the second half, that second half and third quarter, everything started being conservative.
Everything started to be conservative.
The three and outs,
giving Alabama the ball back, allowing them to have a chance to get back into the game.
Now, if it was the old Alabama or a team that was a little bit more competent and efficient with the ball, hell, Alabama could have came back and won that game with as conservative as
Florida State played in that second half.
Well, old Alabama wouldn't have been behind like that.
That too.
Go ahead, Johnny.
No,
I think you look at what Alabama wants to do in the past.
They would always say, listen, we're going to go man on man.
We're going to take our best versus your best, and we're going to lock you down.
Times, like we've said in the past, where they've had success against in Alabama has been when
they're running man coverage, running down the field, and the quarterback's able to escape the contain and be able to get out.
But this is a team that just doesn't even resemble that.
Like, we're going to put our best corner against your best receiver and body him and throw him out of bounds and bully him up.
Or, you know, we're going to take our best edge rusher and just absolutely mop you all day long.
You don't, you're not used to seeing an Alabama team get pushed around, especially in the trenches.
No.
And you got to be concerning.
Yeah.
And plus, they can't run the ball like they're used to.
You know, Alabama gets them hogs up.
And I'm looking at the offensive line.
They go 6'7, 340, 6'7, 320, 6'6.
I'm like, bro, y'all big for no reason.
Why the hell you that big if you can't block?
If you ain't moving, oh, Joe, you got to move furniture.
You that big.
Yeah, yeah.
I said, y'all that big and can't block the sun out your eyes.
I was like, well, damn,
it ain't no sense of being that big if you ain't gonna move something.
Yeah.
I'm like, well, damn.
I mean, 29 rushes for 87 yards.
Oh, Joe, 27 rushes,
89 yards?
Yeah.
Three yards of carry.
Yeah, Florida State looked good on him.
I'm talking about all three levels: up front, second level, and the secondary.
I really want to know, Chad, I don't know if you guys know, if you remember Earl Little that played for the Cleveland Browns.
Is that his son, Little Jr.?
Hey, he was all.
You're talking about the DB Earl Little, right?
Yes, Earl Little went to North Miami down here in Miami.
I think that is his son.
You think so?
Man, he would ball that boy.
Nick Sabin coached 230 games at Alabama.
He had four losses to unranked teams during his stretch.
Kalen DeBoer has coached 14 games, and he just lost his fourth game to an unranked team.
Since 2007, in games in which Alabama was favored by at least 14 points, Coach Saban is 131 and 2.
Kalen DeBoer is 4-4.
They get you up out of there.
You don't want to be the man.
You don't want to be the man to follow the man.
You want to be the man that followed the man that followed the man.
So I want to be the the guy that came after the guy that followed Coach Saban.
I don't want that pressure.
You don't want to follow Coach Bryant.
You don't want to follow a Nick Sabin.
You don't want to follow one of those Barrett Schwitzers or those air procedures, one of those mythical coaches.
You want to be the guy that followed the guy that followed him.
Because now that's what I'm going up again, because I've got some separation between me and Coach Saban.
I've got separation between me and one of these historic great coaches.
The question that I have for you, Johnny, is that do you believe the NIL would be the death of the SEC?
No, I don't think so.
I think the South will only, the SEC and that conference will only find a way to
work around it and do what they need to do.
There's too much money there.
There's too much in these collectives to be able to make it
to make it successful.
I think we'll see some more, I think we'll see different programs, different teams,
the same
Georgia, Alabama, LA, the same couple little pockets of teams that have been winning from the SEC.
So I think it'll give some disparity in that regard.
But, you know, for the most part, I think the SEC is aligned for whatever moves forward in the college football NIL landscape, whether it's getting to bigger conferences where we only have three big conferences throughout the country or...
four or whatever it may be.
I think the SEC can keep accumulating teams, more teams and end up being, you know, the biggest conference, 16, 20 teams.
You know, when it's all said and done, this stuff kind of plays itself out.
Oh, Joe, what you thinking?
Because you look at Underwood.
I think we might touch on him.
You get Larry Ellison, one of the top three richest men in the world.
He underwrites it.
You get Dave Poitino from Barstool.
You get a Tom Brady.
He says, hey, I'll personally help you out and mentor you and coach you.
And you give a kid, an 18-year-old, $12.5 million.
Say, come on down here.
This is what we got for you.
It's hard when you got these deep pocket donors.
You get
a team like an Oregon and you got Nike and you got those that Phil Knight dollars and you get all those uniforms.
And you, so now it ain't no Dodge Chargers.
It ain't no challengers.
These guys got Ferraris, Johnny.
These guys got Lambos.
These guys driving Cullinans and McLarens.
Yeah.
It's 18, 19-year-olds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, hey, the landscape has changed.
The landscape has changed.
And it's like I said, I said it's even the playing field.
And I think it's good.
I think it's good for the players.
I think it's good for the players because not only are you able to obviously get money for playing a sport you love, you're able to help your family out.
You're able to help your family early.
Now, as long as you can stay focused and understanding that you got this money as just a jumpstart for your bigger dream, for your biggest.
for making it to that next level where the real money is as long as you can lock in stay focused and do what you need to do i i think i like it because like johnny said it adds some disparity obviously to college football in general and even the playing field where everybody gets the talent instead of one or two or three or just three teams getting everybody
you're right because it sure it sure seems that way now um
it does look like i mean now look alabama still get five star recruits but they don't look like the five stars they normally get.
It's seemingly Ohio State are getting those guys now.
And they're like like you said, I mean, if there's 25, 35 star, Alabama's getting one or two, where they normally have two running backs, two wide receivers, three D linemen, two O linemen, a corner,
the number one, the number two or three dual threat.
They don't, those guys don't look like the same caliber player that they normally once have had had.
And I think you guys are right.
And you know what?
I have one question too.
Go ahead.
Johnny, y'all could probably help me out.
When it comes to these stars and whoever is rating them yes
from the people that are supposed to be these four and five stars when the lights were bright tonight when the lights were bright today in general
the stars didn't come out
the stars didn't come out
at all well And that's the thing, what you alluded to.
You say when people, you tweeted what you tweeted and people say, well, Shanna, they said, oh, well, it's just the first game.
It doesn't matter.
If you are who you say you are, first game, second game, third game, first quarter, second quarter, third quarter.
It does not matter.
Yeah.
I'm going to chomp it in the pit.
You're like a pit bull on a leash when this first game comes up.
You're
going to let off the leash.
Thank you.
You know, you've got bang-bang plays going across the middle and you can't touch each other and you're running by and you're barking.
This is what you're doing all training camp.
You're fake blowing stuff up.
You have the sacks whistler blown that you'd be like, boy, if that was in a game, we'd have tore your ass up.
Like, that's what you're doing all spring and all training camp.
So now you're off the leash.
This is a time to run free.
First time on a field, maybe in front of the lights.
Yeah, it can hit you a little weird in a couple spots.
But when it comes down to it, a dog is a dog, and it's time to be off the leash.
All right, let's get into it right now.
The game that just went off, LSU, the number tigers, number nine, number ten, number nine, excuse me, LSU Tigers go on the road into
first time in a long time, you've had two Death Valleys.
That's what Clemson called their home, Death Valley.
That's what LSU calls their home, Death Valley.
So one Death Valley went into the other Death Valley.
So number nine, LSU go on the road, take down the number four, Clemson Tigers by the score of 17 to 10.
Nussmeyer, Garrett Nussmeyer, played extremely well, John.
I thought he played really well in the second half.
He calmed down.
He showed a lot of poise, a battle back, and they got the win a very tough fault victory normally early on in the season these are the type of games lsu normally loses and you see opening they lost to florida state they got blown out and then they lost the year before that they got beat now lsu showed me a little something going on the road in an extremely hostile environment the number four team in the country and getting a win that was very very impressive johnny let me ask you this what did you like about what you saw from lsu
i mean i think you look at a lot through the game you see it was kind of stagnant there for a while where nothing was really happening.
It's kind of just kicking it back and forth, waiting for something to happen.
But they stayed patient.
Nussmeyer finally got things going a lot better in the second half.
They have the turnover in the first half that really killed a lot of momentum.
But one of these kind of slug fest games that when you go on the road, you never really know how you're going to win these and get these done.
But when you look at the end of the day, you want to have this win.
And I think they just found a way to get it done in the second half.
Nothing too like overwhelming, overpowering or anything like that, but just a solid, you know, one touchdown win.
Ojo, what'd you like about what you saw from LSU, considering these are the type of games we talked about that Brian Kelly has seemingly lost early in the season and finding a way to win a game like this?
You know, when you go on the road and you beat the number four team in the country, it doesn't matter if it's 17, 10, if it's 17, 16, if it's 11,
if it's 4-3, you won.
Long as you get the win.
Listen, LSU played extremely well.
I think the beginning of the game, it was very stagnant.
It was a very defensive game.
Obviously, most of the time when it comes to college football, even NFL, the defense is always ahead of the offense because all they have to do is read and react.
And it takes time for offenses to get rolling.
And what I did see from LSU, and I didn't see enough of, let me tell you what I didn't see enough of, Unc, of LSU is being wide receiver university.
LSU to me is now wide receiver university.
I don't see that dog.
I don't see that one player out there that can make a difference for LSU.
And I didn't see that for Clemson either.
They're another university that produces some good wide receivers.
I haven't seen anybody emerge.
Actually, honestly, we talk about, we talk about not just this game, the entirety of the day throughout college football, those that I thought are supposed to step up, those that have always been on my radar as really, really good receivers.
Nobody really,
what's the word I'm looking for?
Nobody really.
Stepped up to the front and pressed it.
Yeah, nobody.
Nobody at all, especially in this game tonight.
I was really looking forward to seeing somebody for LSU to make a difference in the game.
Somebody for Clemson to make a difference in the game, but that didn't happen.
It was more of a defensive slug fest.
And the points that were scored, they were earned.
Every point was earned tonight.
I think LSU will look back on this game.
And if they go and have the type of season that I think guys they want to have, they'll definitely look back at this game.
Anytime you can go on the road in a hostile environment, and this is not Clemson's number four team in the country, they have the number three rated overall prospect.
He happens to be a quarterback, Clint Kubnik Kubnik Klubnick.
And to go in there and to get that win, I think that tells you, I think Brian Kelly learned something about his team tonight, Johnny.
I think he really has, I really think he has a team now that he believes that he can take it anywhere in any environment and get a victory.
Yeah.
Look, this is a playoff team.
Clint's in from last year.
Same quarterback coming back, a lot of the same pieces.
So you got to feel.
like early in the season, you know, this game has been scheduled on their, you know, bulletin board for the whole offseason.
They were, they knew what they were coming into to play and like we said earlier this is a game lsu normally doesn't come out and win so for them to do that has to make them feel really good about themselves i don't see anything in clemson's game that they should feel too down on you know you obviously want to win this game but going through the acc and the schedule that they have they'll be fine i think they need to continue to have clubnick run the ball as he did a couple times there to extend some drives and do some certain things but listen everything's going to go through that guy number two for clemson and if he doesn't put a touchdown on on the board, you know, they're usually not going to come out with a win in that situation.
Yeah, LSU had to play well.
They showed up with t-shirts with one and oh on it.
When you on the road,
Johnny and OJo, when you show up on
the road against the number four team in the country and you're wearing t-shirts and you already got one and oh, boy, you better come out there, but you better come on out there and play.
And they played.
They played.
That second half, they really dominated it.
They really dominated this game.
Nuss, like I said, Nussby, like Johnny, you were 28 to 30, 8, 230, one touchdown.
Not overpowering.
He didn't have a 300-yard day.
He wasn't 70-plus percent completion percentage, but he was solid.
He made big-time throws when he absolutely had to have them to get a drive, tie the ball game up, and then he goes down and get the go-ahead touchdown.
He was very, very impressive.
And I think Brian Kelly has to be impressed with his team.
Defensively, they started getting out the clubnick.
And once they started to put that pressure on there, brought a blitz.
The guy, a linebacker looped around on fourth and four, and uh, they turned him over on downs.
But LSU, this was an impressive win.
Now, you go look at it.
Texas is in the SEC.
Uh, Georgia is in the SEC.
There are no, look, there are no, they're not going to be any cakewalks.
I mean, even Vanderbilt says, hold on, hold on.
We're not, we're not your homecoming now.
And you know, Vanderbilt used to be every Johnny.
Uh, first game of the season was homecoming.
Vanderbilt on the schedule.
Vanderbilt was like 10 homecomings a season.
Yeah.
Even when they played LCL party.
I was like, the coming out party that day.
Hey, everybody's thinking about, hey, I'm going to pad my stats.
You know, hey, the party tonight,
I need to shine.
But
the SEC is going to be very, very tough.
Clemson, I agree with you, Johnny.
The ACC, look, they're not.
Ain't a whole lot to write home.
Now,
the team that we're about to talk about in a little bit, Florida State, they showed us something.
That Costilianos,
he showed us something today.
Hey, Florida State Unk, hey, Johnny, I don't know what Florida State team we saw today, but they look really good.
Not only offensively, which has really been stagnant for a very long time, but defensively.
They came to play.
Earl, hey, hey, Unc Little Jr.
Is that Earl Little's son?
I think so.
It is?
I think so.
Hey, boy, he nice.
Hey, he is nice.
Yeah.
He nice.
He was playing some good, goddamn ball that day, boy.
