And it makes you wonder, you know, in their next matchup against Clemson and down the road, how much arch will be a factor because that dude, I know everybody wants to compare him to his uncles, but he's probably more like his grandfather than he is his uncles as far as, and he's much bigger and stronger. Look at this guy. You know, it's one thing you look at him on TV.
I think you go on the pregame and you... You look at these guys in person, some of these guys just look so different than what your perception of them is. And Arch is one of those guys. I mean, his legs, I don't know if he lives under a squat rack. That dude is put together. He's not just a tall, slippery boy. He's quick. He is a powerful dude who can spin it.
You talk about an excitement of where you want to see Texas next year with Arch having an entire offseason to build his game. But he's nothing like Peyton. He's nothing like Eli. He's really nothing like his grandfather, who was a really athletic guy.
He's his own guy, and he's got the size that they all have, but his strength and his athletic ability, who knows what Sark will do in the offseason to build the offense around him. Who knows if Arch will get an opportunity here in these next potential four games that Texas might be playing. I hope we see more of him. He's fun.
This dude. This dude's going to do. Now, I don't know if they're going to protect him from himself next year. But if he plays the way he wants to play, he's going to be running around people, over people. You know, if you're a safety coming up there to tackle that guy, it's like tackling a tight end. You know, I mean, that's basically who's athletic. So, yeah, we'll see. We'll see.
I think it's a game-to-game approach for Sark and how they use Arch and if they do. And not to mention, imagine a fan base. It reminds me of Tebow in 06 when he was a true freshman. And Chris Leak was the quarterback. But every time there'd be short yardage or red zone, the crowd at the Swamp would go crazy just with the idea that 15 might come jogging onto the field. And he would.
And they were like begging Urban to bring him out. And it became almost... It's Chris Leak who's quarterbacking 90% of the game, but it almost became like... the fans were just completely consumed with Tim Tebow, even though he's just doing short yardage. And that kind of reminds me a little bit of Texas.
This is Quinn Ewer's team, but there's such anticipation and so much excitement about Arch Manning taking over. And I wonder if that impacts Sark inside the locker room on protecting Quinn and protecting kind of that feeding into that energy by not putting Sark arch out there as much as maybe you might think.
Sark's a whatever-it-takes-to-win kind of guy, but I also think he's mindful of the makeup of his team, and Quinn Ewers is his quarterback. And I know that's impacted Quinn a little bit psychologically, just, hey, I'm the guy, and yet they kind of are rooting for the other guy. So I think it's a little bit tricky on how they manage that at this point in 2024.
I would say IU. I'd probably say IU would be – what's the Tennessee spread? I believe that's a touchdown. Yeah, I think – I'm not picking either one of those teams, but you could make a pretty strong case if you're a Tennessee fan or you're going to bet on Tennessee until you see the Ohio State offensive line more productive –
against a talented front, there's no reason to think that both those games, the underdogs should have a shot to be competitive and maybe pull off an upset.
You imagine? They get 3,500 fans. What's Ohio Stadium these days? Over 100,000, right? Yeah. You get basically 3% of the stadium is going to be in orange. Yeah. You believe they maybe get 30,000 people in there? No way. It'd be a testament to the fan base, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I think it is. And it's a scarlet out, right? So they're going to do the whole stadium if they follow the direction of what the Ohio State's requesting. So it would be all scarlet and then bright, bright orange. So you're right.
Wear your uniform. Yeah, yeah.
I would say it's part of that. Just put yourself as an 18-year-old recruit and knock on the door and it's Bill Belichick at the door or on the phone. Honey, Coach Belichick's on the phone. I mean, just imagine the power of that, right? But I'm telling you guys, Bill Belichick, he's one of those guys that if he ended up coaching high school football in Annapolis, I would not have been surprised.
He's not caught up in all the bullshit, all the noise that we all get caught up in. He is just an old school football coach. And I really think that his dad... had a major impact on his decisions and what he does.
I think there's part of him that's probably always been pulling at him to be on a college campus because of his time at Annapolis with his dad and before that in places like North Carolina. And I really think as much as you guys are saying, hey, don't worry about the education. We're going to go build this roster and we're going to go win a championship.
I think he's going to think about how I do both. I know his reputation as NFL and building a roster and winning Super Bowls, but I think there's part of him that I think is actually going to enjoy getting kids to buy into the demands of academics because of his background. I don't think it's going to be, hey, you didn't go to class, screw it. We're getting ready to win this game.
I just don't think that's him. I think he's going to – the reason it took two weeks, we kept hearing – Wait, they interviewed him? How do you interview Bill Belichick? It's one of those, if he says, yeah, I'm interested, it's like, you take it. But remember, it went for a while. So I'm sure he sat there and just gathered so much intel.
Not only, I need this for NIL, I need this for private plane, like whatever it is he needed. But I think he wanted to learn like the ramifications and the guidelines of like, what are we doing here? What's this world? So when he did step to the podium, it was almost like in his mind, like, okay, I can answer any question. I've studied this and analyze this job and what it takes so much.
