00:00How's it going year one talking big 12 with no Texas and OU, what do you say?
00:22Yeah, I mean, it's a different animal.
00:24You know, I mean, obviously in where we live, you know, those are two huge brands.
00:29I mean, you could argue aside from Texas Tech and maybe Baylor that there's no larger fan
00:35bases in the DFW Metroplex than Texas and OU.
00:38And so yeah, I mean, it's a huge deal.
00:42But Colorado, you know, from a brand perspective has really slid in and I mean, they're legit.
00:47I mean, that's, you know, that is as good of a team and program, you know, and in terms
00:53of the growth, what Deion has done is incredible.
00:56And obviously his son and Travis Hunter play a huge role in that.
00:59But I'm not going to lie, the idea of the Cowboys may be being in tank mode and then
01:04Shadur Sanders potentially being, you know, a guy that could get drafted.
01:07I don't know if they're going to be that bad, but like you might shoot for that because
01:10Shadur is legit, man.
01:12And having another Sanders in Dallas would be incredible.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Do you think that could work with with prime coaching and Shadur playing?
01:20I mean, what all would come along with that?
01:23I mean, look, this is a guy that has taken an absolute beating as a quarterback in Colorado.
01:27Last year, he sustained 60 sacks, OK?
01:29I mean, he took an absolute beating in 12 games, 60 sacks.
01:33I mean, think about that.
01:35And his numbers, despite that, are incredible.
01:37I mean, he put up big time numbers, low interception numbers.
01:40So this is a guy that like has proven over the last couple of years that you can beat
01:44him up as much as you want.
01:45He's going to still get up and make throws.
01:47And I mean, there's definitely some, you know, prima donna there, and he's very similar to
01:50his dad in that regard.
01:51I mean, you know, probably grew up a lot differently than his dad did.
01:54But what he's done this year, too, I mean, he was sacked a ton at the beginning of the
01:58year.
01:59They've really figured out how to how to protect him a little bit in their offensive line.
02:02And that's the biggest reason why, you know, they're they're they're now on bow eligible
02:06and pushing for the potential playoff spot here, ranked 20th in the first CFP rankings.
