| 0:18.4 | Welcome at Lake Kick is live. It is Sunday night. It is March 29th, the year of our Lord, 2020. We've got a jam-packed show tonight. Colin, I would consider this show jam-packed if we were in the middle of the football season. We're in the middle of quarantine. It is still essential personnel-only mode here at the studio. But Colin and I are pretty essential, as essential as it gets right now, at least on these premises. So we're happy to have you with us. If you haven't already, like the video, really helps us out, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. And since I don't really feel like directing you to 15 links, those of you who keep asking about the late kick podcast, there is a link, whether you're watching live now or you're watching the replay later right below. In the show description, there is a link to the Latekick podcast. Go ahead and subscribe there. And if you can, take two seconds. Give us a five-star review and write a review because that really helps us too. So we've got a jam-packed show tonight. I'm going to lead the show talking about Georgia football. Hey, Thomas, we appreciate that. We do take super chats, |
| 1:11.3 | which is a fancy word for you giving us your money, and we appreciate Thomas doing that right now. |
| 1:16.0 | In fact, because he gave us money, I'm going to acknowledge that question at the end of the |
| 1:20.0 | show. Oh, man, what a question that is, by the way. It's one of those old Will Must Champ |
| 1:25.5 | Les Miles type questions, so we'll get to that towards |
| 1:27.9 | the end of the show. Also, I wanted to let you know that for another week, we are on schedule. So we're doing a show right now on Sunday night. We're going to do another show on Thursday night. And it's a week-to-week deal right now. We've got to find out if we can get in the studio so far, so good So let's get started here and I wanted to get to a |
| 1:45.0 | debate that I don't think's a debate or at least I don't think it should be a debate, even though |
| 1:49.7 | sadly it is. The debate I'm talking about centers around Georgia football and the debate specifically |
| 1:56.2 | is the people who take Kirby Smart and then compare everything he's done to Mark Rick and everything that he did. |
| 2:02.5 | And all of a sudden you get folks who want to say one's better than the other. |
| 2:05.3 | Maybe you get another camp that says, oh, man, actually Kirby Smart may be a little bit overhyped. |
| 2:10.0 | So I'm not going to fall really into either category, but I'm going to acknowledge both camps. |
| 2:15.5 | And I'm going to tell them that they're both right and wrong in ways. So let me get into it. A lot of times we'll have greatest teams of all-time |
| 2:24.1 | debates in college football, and you'll have folks that throw around some of these recent |
| 2:27.5 | Alabama teams. I can guarantee you from now until eternity, the 2019 LSU team should be |
| 2:33.4 | included there. You'll have like the 2001 Miami |
| 2:36.2 | Hurricane team that sent like a hundred million guys to the NFL draft. But inevitably, |
| 2:41.7 | there's going to be some guy. He's usually sitting with his legs crossed over here in the back |
| 2:45.2 | corner and he's going to say, what about that 1941 army team? Have you seen the stats? And out of respect, you'll be quiet, |
| 2:54.7 | and you'll let him tell you about 1941 Army and how many shutouts they pitched and what kind of |
| 3:00.0 | rushing numbers they had and how much they dominated the competition all the while knowing |
