Nobody, nobody ever, nobody ever apologized to him. You're right. Nobody thought LSU was like this great blue blood program.
A great coach. Character.
I'll say that if Saban stayed at LSU, LSU would have been better than Bama. LSU has a lot more going for it as a program and in terms of what its potential is as opposed to Bama, I think.
I was going to, I was going to go five to one. Let's do it. Okay. Real quick. Bill, did you follow Holy Cross football from 2021 to 2023? Yes. You did. I was into it. What did you think of the quarterback play?
Yeah. So that was my number five thing, Matt Sluka going to UNLV. Because first of all, I think it was one of the rare things. It ended up okay for everybody. But for people that don't know, Sluka, he was the quarterback at Holy Cross, transfers to UNLV, plays the first three games. UNLV looks great. I was like, man, UNLV's got a good damn football program. What happened there?
Well, it turns out that he says he... He decides to sit out the rest of the season and take a red shirt because the school didn't follow through on whatever promises they allegedly made about NIL.
They promised him $100,000 and he only got like $1,000, right? And I don't know which the... It's still unclear what the difference is here and why those expectations weren't met. But it's like one of these things where you could project your feelings about the NIL era onto the player in this situation.
And if you like me and you like players getting paid, I didn't mind him withholding his labor until he got what he felt was promised. And if you don't like it, it was about these spoiled and entitled college players prioritizing money over the team. So I thought it was like a really, you know, like a fun story that didn't ultimately hurt anybody because UNLV still was badass. Well, wait, though.
All right. I want to move to number four. So, you know, Nick Saban was actually trying to be honest earlier this year when he said the only place you play in the SEC that's not hard to play is in Vanderbilt. And then it's like not even a month later, Alabama goes to Vanderbilt and loses for the first time since 1984. They got their ass beat. Vanderbilt scored 40 points on them.
They didn't luck into those points. They beat their ass. And it was just hilarious. Because first of all, you also get to see Bama fans go crazy now. They've lived an unprecedented ride for the last 15 to 20 years. And to see their faces and to see how they responded to losing to Vandy in the first year post-saving, it was hilarious. So I had to put that at number four.
Did Shane say anything about Chargers or anything? He didn't say anything about a Dutch Charger, did he?
And Saban was just like... Anyway, number three. Number three. So if you are like me, since I followed college football, the idea of Arizona State football has always been like, man... Arizona, why isn't Arizona State any good? You know, they've got all that. They're in a fast growing area. They got a lot of sun. It's like a school like academics ain't going to be in the problem.
And, you know, if you like me and you saw, you know, the Playboy edition of Pac-10, you know, Pac-10 seasons like Arizona, you know what I'm saying, is rolling. Elite milk. Yeah, you said it, not me. I can't, you know what I'm saying? I'm a family man. I am too, but the truth is the truth. So anyway, about Frank Fish. But man, Arizona State was dope this year, man.
You kind of see, oh man, Arizona State's good. They might have a future. They got a 34-year-old coach he can recruit. They got a little outfit. They're not going to get Cam Scatterboat. I call that dude Pocket Grunk. I don't know if he's going to be good in the NFL or whatever, but as a college character, he was perfect for Arizona State.
And like Texas has all the athletes you could think of. And he was.
All right. Number two. Number two, this was the first Heisman race in about a decade where QB wasn't a serious contender. And I love that because we could talk about Travis Hunter, who I don't know. I've never seen anything like that in college football. Like maybe if you go down a level or something or you could say, oh, there's a guy that played, you know,
a thousand snaps in a season, but I've never seen anybody do that and excel in the way that Travis Hunter did. And like, there was a game this year against UCF. He had nine passes for 89 yards, a touchdown, a pass breakup and interception. And he was on the field for 128 of 143 snaps in that game.
And I'm just like, yo, like, I don't know what more you could... Like, people thought Charles Woodson was amazing because he played a few snaps at receiver. No, like, Travis Hunter was doing something else, totally. And, like, the Ashton Genting kid, I just... Let me get on the soapbox for a second. If you think that Ashton Genting got exposed against Penn State, you are stupid.
Like, I literally think that you don't know ball. Because the dude, like, if you watch that defense and him... Like, that guy... It took everything in that Penn State defense. And they focused all their efforts on them because Boise State couldn't pass. And that dude still hammered out 100 yards. There was a 10-yard run early in the fourth quarter where six Penn State guys got a hand on that guy.
Yeah, man. Yeah. So I love it.
