Hello, welcome to Unnecessary Roughness, brought to you by Twisted Tea. And I assume it's brought to you by Twisted Tea, because none of my other shows have presenting sponsors right now because apparently January doesn't exist. But I assume this one still does. So, hi, we're brought to you by Twisted Tea. Teabob's something. An incredible drink that goes perfectly with college football. I got it right in my hand there. So does Teabob. And it's never far from Casey or Big Ev either. Twisted Tea brings you this podcast every single week. We have arrived kind of. We're within a week of national championship game. It isn't National Championship Week yet, I guess, because it's on a Monday night. But whatever. I got two things. Hi, Casey. Hi, T. Bob. Hi, Blutman. Hi, Big F. So. I got two little conversations I want to have before we get. And I'm not staying long.

I left the yak early today because I had a migraine. I miss Wub. Sorry about that T-Bub. I'm fighting through it. But whatever. You work like 36 hours a day. You're, you're always fine. I just, I don't use, you know, I usually get them at night, not in the morning. I got one in the morning. It was weird.

Anywho, I had two things, and they're both transfer portal related. Here we go. Today, Dante Moore announced, and I assume I'm not getting ballsacked, I believe Dante Moore announced he is, in fact, coming back to school. He will be back at Oregon next year. Now, this comes a couple days after Dylan Ryola said, hey, I'm going to Oregon to be the starting quarterback. All right? We'll see if

you still feel that way in the morning. But right now, Dante Moore is coming back to Oregon.

My question is this, with all the money, with all the money that the transfer portal promises these players,

and it is good that they get paid. Is it also upsetting the natural order of things when a

quarterback plays a career like he has played, and then he puts himself in line to be a top

one or two pick, because he would probably be a top two pick in this year's draft. And instead he's going back to Oregon. Big A half does it upset the natural order of things of guys going to the NFL when their time has come? No, I don't think so because I think he's someone who I have to imagine. If I'm in Dante Moore's shoes, the reason you come back, I think, are evident in the sense of maybe you're not quite ready. You don't think you still can make a nice trick of change in college. There's a lot of this correlation that's been talked about amongst how many starts you in college correlating two-year immediate success in the NFL. The Jets may be part of it. Now, I don't overblow the Jets thing. I think the Jets thing might be maybe just a very small part. I don't think the Jets was his determining factor, but obviously I have no idea. But no, I don't think it upsets the natural order because I think he's someone who probably long-term would benefit from another year starting.

So, you know, I don't think it does, and even the Riala thing. In the Riala, Moore, more situations a little different because Riala was basically a two-year starter where Morris started like five games at UCLA. But he was the guy who humbled himself and took a year and sat behind Gabriel and then had a great year this year. so I see a guy like Rayola where his dad was, I think, playing the NFL for like a decade was a good player, where he's just, hey, maybe take a year if more leaves than you play. And if he doesn't, then you take a year, you learn, maybe your red shirt even, and become a better quarterback between the years, and then you come back and you play the next year, and you're great. But no, I guess the answer, I don't think it throws off like the realm of how

things are supposed to go or whatever. Most of the show is going to be about the Indiana

Miami game, so we're not going to spend a lot of time. He's the only one that got that question.

Teabobob, you get the next question, transfer portal related.

And when you do answer your question, please unmute your question. T. Bob, you get the next question. Transfer Portal related. And when you do answer your question, please unmute your mic so you don't look like a moron. Yeah. Look, okay, I got Bobby in the room with me. He's going to be hanging out all the show. So I will be muted. I'm muting. But I won't forget to it. You let that boy hang out. You let that boy podcast. Okay. Okay. Cool. podcast. Okay. If he has shit to say, let him say it. All right. Here's your question, T. Bob. Yeah. LSU just landed, well, actually, they landed three quarterbacks in the transfer portal. It looks like. It looks like they landed the, uh, the, oh, the Elon, the Elon quarterback. back. And then they landed Longstreet from USC. I don't know if that was official, but it looks like it's about to be if it isn't. And then, of course, they landed the big prize, which is Sam Levitt. Sam Levitt, of course, the number one quarterback in the transfer portal. And here's your question. Sam Levitt, number one transfer portal quarterback.

What the fuck?

Yeah.

Yeah. I don't see it.

Hold on.

I don't see it.

I've seen so many transfer portal quarterbacks.

Like Mendoza won the Heisman.

Jaylon Daniels won the Heisman.

I watched this guy in Starvo get beat by Mississippi State's defense when he passed for 80 yards.
