From My Perspective
College Football 2025/2026 Preview
College football is undergoing seismic changes as NIL deals transform recruiting and the transfer portal creates a free agency environment without proper regulation.
• Executive orders attempting to regulate NIL payments are largely ineffective as schools circumvent rules through "endorsement deals"
• Players transferring between multiple schools disrupts program continuity and academic progress
• Conference realignment has destroyed traditional rivalries with geography no longer a consideration in conference makeup
• Big Ten proposal for guaranteed playoff spots threatens competitive balance across college football
• Penn State, Texas, and LSU emerge as national championship contenders
• Quarterback-heavy Heisman race features Drew Allard, Arch Manning, and Garrett Nussmeyer as frontrunners
• Memphis puzzlingly rejected from Power 4 conferences despite $200 million offer
• Student-athletes would benefit from staying at one school and building community connections rather than constantly transferring
• WNBA update shows Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty on collision course for championship

Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of. From my Perspective, I'm your boy Deion coming to you and we got ourselves a hot and heavy college football episode, as college football is around the corner. We're about two weeks away, but we're going to get into it because, you know, I'm with my man. The man, the myth, the legend, captain, hate himself.
Speaker 2:q how you doing man, you already know the best, your boy, mr bell. Okay, hey, say your name up on the spot, might not put you to mock what's going on, dm going good.
Speaker 1:It's going good. Uh, we also got another guest in the house. You know, friend of the podcast. He knows where the refrigerator is, he knows where the bathroom is, he knows he gotta take his shoes off when he comes in. Seneca, rogers, how you doing?
Speaker 3:I'm doing good man. I appreciate y'all boys always letting me pop in on the pod with y'all and talk that good talk. So I appreciate you.
Speaker 1:I know you've been wanting to talk about college sports, as it's in a little bit of a rough patch in terms of not the product on the field or product on the court, but the stuff that's going on off the court and off the field is in a rough patch. One thing that happened a couple weeks ago I'm not sure if you guys saw, but President Trump signed an executive order called Saving College Football, saving College Sports, which pretty much what that executive order means is what the order did was tells these schools that they cannot pay these players for being good at a sport, so they can't pay them for being good quote unquote. Funny thing is that was already a rule for the NCAA. So in other words, that executive order technically did not do nothing, did not do anything. But we all know Q, you know Seneca, you know that's exactly what's been happening right now.
Speaker 1:They are paying these players for being good at a sport, but they're masking it, hiding it as endorsement deals. So basically they're saying they're giving Jeremiah Smith all this money, but they're not giving it to him because he's good at the sport, quote unquote. They're giving it to him because he's good at the sport, quote-unquote. They're giving it to him, for he's doing these endorsement deals. So it's a little bit of a complicated situation. They're paying the players, but they are trying to hide it that they're paying him because they're good at it. They're just trying to hide it as an endorsement deal. But we all know wink and a nod, they're getting paid because they're good at it. They're just trying to hide it as an endorsement deal, but we all know, lincoln and I, they're getting paid because they're good at a certain sport. Jeremiah Smith is getting paid more money than the third receiver on the University of Louisville because he's just that much better. Senator Kojima, what are your thoughts on the executive order and just the simple fact that they're basically getting paid by endorsements?
Speaker 3:Well, first, on the executive order, I just felt like what are we doing? Like it was, it was a thing that was not needed. You know what I'm saying? It was. It was a moment of I guess the president just wanted to jump into something else instead of really dealing with the real issues, because I just think dealing with the real issues he don't want to deal with. So I'll deal with something and make it like I'm saving something, but really not, because didn't change nothing.
Speaker 3:And then on the quote-unquote name image likeness, like you know, of course that's how it was first put out there and of course they still call it NIL and everything. But I mean it's really like you said, it's really about the performance of the player. I mean, what was it? Last year People was talking about, ohio State had this 30, 30 million dollar roster or something of their players and stuff. And then you know you see other, uh, what was the quarterback that was at tennessee? They said that he wanted more money from what he originally was going after. I mean the family says that he didn't, but I mean you was, you were balling out of tennessee. So then what happened? Now you're at I think he had ucla or something they they said his deal there is less than what he was getting at Tennessee.
Speaker 3:So I mean, like you said, it's a flaky and a shaky thing of what they're doing. I mean I'm all for the players getting bread, because I mean these coaches get these crazy amount of money, these universities get crazy amount of money. But I think you have to put some type of thing in in place around it, because right now it just seems like college football is just wild wild west, like stuff is just going and you can just throw money at a player. A player can go somewhere and just sit and then you come in like hey, I'm gonna give you five million to come over here and they transferring over there. So I mean it's just, it's a free agency thing happening without it being real free agency.
Speaker 1:We'll get to that Q. How are you feeling about the executive order at NIL?
Speaker 2:I'm going to take something's got to be done right, because it is kind of crazy. People move and go how they want, the money just flows. There's no regulation. Something needs to be done. It should have been done to begin with when they first decided to have NIL. This should have been handled to begin with. Now we're so far removed. You have to fix it. But how do you fix it? Can you fix it is the big question. Can you honestly fix NIL? Because at the end of the day, people still don't figure out a way.
Speaker 2:Back in the day, like SMU, they was handing out brown paper bags. I always go back to the story. My cousin went to the UK. She saw them hand out brown paper bags for money in it when it was illegal to do that. That's what they do. That's what they have always done. They're going to find another way to do it. It should have already been taken care of. The one thing I do want to I can't believe I'm about to say this the one thing I want to give him credit for in the executive order I can't believe I said that, but it wasn't an effort to protect Olympic sports. So if you're spending all this money on football, men's football, men's football and then men's basketball, and then you spend very little on women's basketball. You spend all your money on non-Olympic sports, so then these Olympic sports end up going away. So a lot of these people who were on scholarships don't have the opportunity to get these scholarships and these programs. Instead of forking over more money, schools is dropping down from D1 so they don't have to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's been a couple schools that dropped down to Division III.
Speaker 2:And some of them are going to go to NAI because it's even less requirements on them.
Speaker 2:So I do like, in executive order they talked about the Olympic sports, protecting the Olympic sports, because I think the Olympic sports do need protection, Because you know, me I enjoy going to the UofL baseball and softball games but you know you've keep gotta spend money to keep up with your Clemsons and your Florida Stays and your Alabamas and all of these LSU's. Something's gonna have to get cut. Yeah, Louisville volleyball might not be as good. If they gotta spend, take some of the money and the resources from that to send it to the football program.
Speaker 1:You're right, yes, you're right, but I mean that's a lot. I think the money issue is a little bit of a harder fix. Another issue is just the conference alignment as a whole. There's no fixing that. That one's done, that's cooked, it's got aluminum foil on it, it's ready to be shipped off. There's no going back from that. Money has won that one.
Speaker 1:But I do think there is one aspect of college football that is definitely in dire need of getting fixed and that's the transfer portal. I understand why they implemented the transfer portal. I think a big reason was some of the arguments was these coaches can just up and leave whenever, but if a player leaves they have to sit out a year, lose a year eligibility, this and that, but treasure port is a little bit out of hand. I think it goes in hand with the money aspect a little bit as well, because a player play one year at a school, get an offer, go to another school, get another offer, go to another school. It's players that are playing at four different schools in four years, which from our perspective is just ridiculous. So my fix with it and I'm going to ask you guys your opinion on how I feel about it. I feel like each player should get at least one free transfer.
Speaker 1:The second one, there should be consequences set out of your, something like that. Outside of your one free transfer, I feel like you should also get another free transfer If the head coach of said school that you're going to leaves for another job. You also should get a free transfer of that. Outside of your one free transfer and your coach leaving. I don't think you should be able to just up and leave because someone hits you with more money. There should be consequences because there's four schools and four years is getting ridiculous and I just know for a fact these guys they're not finishing college. I mean, that goes probably not to finish college, it goes to get to the professional level, but still you're transferring to all these schools, you're losing credits every time you go to a different school and you're not going to graduate on time. So Q, I'm going to start with you, like how you feel about Ma's suggestion and do you have a suggestion on how to fix the transfer poor.
Speaker 2:I think I like your suggestion. The only hard thing is going to be I can't think of his name, but it was a round receiver from North Carolina. He was trying to transfer out, oh, transfer in Something like that, or rather something. But he said his aunt was sick, that's why he wanted to transfer. Yeah, so then they're going to have medical transfer too, so it's going to be kind of dicey to protect it.
Speaker 2:I do like the idea as far as the transfer Transfer, a report of somebody sitting out a year, because me like coaches, when they take another job they lose money from that contract. I don't really want to take the money away from kids, no, so I think your idea is the best way to go about it, so that way they're not paying that money back. Let's be real, if you give me a couple million at 18, why that money ain't going to be there when it's half of me, you know. Just go be honest. That money's just not going to be there. So I do. I would like. You said I like that Transfer once. Cool, we'll let you have that one, but you can't keep transferring.
Speaker 2:And I want to touch on the point you said about college, them graduating. They're not graduating, they're just college-spraining, and all y'all do is they're making it to the league. College-spraining is great as well, too. I've been saying this from the jump it is more beneficial for a lot of these athletes to ride it out at one school and finish your degree than to keep transferring to try to get in the league that you're not going to get into, because if you stay at that one school and finish your degree, the local people is going to know you and you ain't going to have to pay for damn near nothing in that city and you're always going to be able to return. It's always going to be somebody that owns something that you won't get a job at.
Speaker 1:You can always do some contract signings and get some quick bread. Just autograph and get some good quick bread.
Speaker 2:It's always potential for you to have more success if you stayed at that one school and worked your way out and everybody knows your name. Then you transform from school to school and you ain't got no roots nowhere. A lot of these athletes would be better off if they planted roots and they always got somewhere they can go call home.
Speaker 1:So, Celica, what's your thoughts on the trans reporter situation and do you have a solution different than mine?
Speaker 3:I like your idea and your thought around it, because I do think the one free transfer I think should be still good. I think after that it should be either the coach leave or it's some type of medical family situation or whatever that that goes on. So I think your idea is good. I was sitting here trying to think of, like, do I have anything, any tweak or something to that? I can't really think of a tweak right now, maybe because you know they base it off of head coaches. But I think also some of that stuff can be based off of that coach that recruited you and that relationship with that coach.
Speaker 3:Because if you're a quarterback and you went there for this certain quarterback coach that you have been talking with and y'all have built this relationship, and now they're going somewhere else to possibly be the offensive coordinator somewhere or the head coach of a team, then you're like, hey, I came here to learn up under him, you know, and that could be a situation where you don't you don't did that, that other transfer that maybe you know I might would be, I might would not be had that much of a problem with because you're trying to get yourself in that best situation right, that much of a problem with because you're trying to get yourself in that best situation right.
Speaker 3:Um. I do think, though, that it's out of hand because of the fact, like you said, you're seeing these kids that's just jumping around. They just jumping around everywhere. I don't want them to lose out on any money, but also, too, you're throwing money at them to transfer over here. You know you sitting there or whatever, and nobody's waiting anymore. Nobody's like on the grind waiting out that moment you know what I'm saying to come up and be like hey, I done sat behind this dude for two years Now. I got my two years to go out here and ball out and all of that stuff.
Speaker 3:They're not doing that If some of them ain't coming in as their true freshmen, getting that shot and possibly getting out there on that field and starting. Then they they ready to jump ship, they just ready to to pill out. Then they'll go over there. Cause, who was it? I was looking at this kid just this last week.
Speaker 3:Malachi Nelson, who was like a number one ranked QB when he was coming out, was supposed to take over USC after Caleb Williams was, was there and everything, and then he didn't win the job. So he he peeled out going to Boise State, got to Boise State, didn't win that job either. He peeled out again. I think he had like UTEP or somewhere now or whatever. So I mean so I'm like you just really jumping around and now I'm starting to think like, are you really because you losing out to these people? You just ain't good. You just trying to find somewhere where there's no competition so you can go out there and really you're going to ball like where's the competitors? Know what he gonna have to beat me. If he beat me or whatever they beat me, they just better than me. Then I'm gonna keep on grinding so I can get out there and I do like what you said Q about planting down some roots somewhere, getting some roots, because you know, hey, I'm here in North Carolina, I'm a Carolina guy, you know. So cats like um, uh, cats like uh, what was your boy, marquise Williams, who played quarterback here at Carolina, like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:A lot of people still show him love. He's a North Carolina kid, waited his moment to get to be the starter and he did his thing and got his start on. You know, I mean we had Sam Howell that came in. He went ahead. I mean he did get the start as a freshman but he stayed for those three years, didn't try to jump. Drake May came in right while Sam Howell was still here, even though he was heavily recruited and people were trying to get him to jump, he stayed.
Speaker 3:So I mean you know there's that roots in that and people really riding with you after you done left and staying in that groove, people really riding with you after you done left and and staying in that, in that groove and mode with you. I mean just think about, uh, I know for y'all out of louisville, teddy bridgewater, big dude, for y'all. You know what I'm saying, big dude, I mean I talked to q, I talked to your sister, ray. She always talked to me about teddy bridgewater, like anything that he's doing. He's talking about Teddy Bridgewater, but that's the type of stuff that you talking about. Those people that you like you know, hey, they rode with us Like they stayed here Still to this day. I'm going to follow what they do and keep on supporting them. So I think that's a real big thing that the loyalty and stuff is not there, no more.
Speaker 2:It's not. It's not. It's not Teddy 2 Glove. Everybody loves Teddy 2 Glove.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree completely with you on this one with Q and Seneca. And it's not even just the big names like Teddy, just for Louisville, for example Damian Copeland he was the receiver in that area. He's good in the city. Gerard Holliman safety from around that area, I think a little bit after Teddy, he's good. He has the record for most interceptions in the NCAA for a season, even though he really didn't do much in the NFL. He good in the city. Eli Rogers, the receiver for, like I said, all these people, they good in the city. They come to Louisville, they have a recognizable face. You play for Louisville. Hey, come and get you a nice little burger or something for the free. That's just how it works. I mean, imagine those smaller cities like West Virginia, morgantown. I know Steve Slade and Pat White. They go back to West Virginia. They ain't got to spend a dollar. They don't pay for nothing.
Speaker 3:They go back to West Virginia.
Speaker 2:they ain't got to spend a dollar. They don't pay for nothing. You hear me Nothing, I know they don't.
Speaker 1:I know they don't.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:So I agree with y'all, but we're going to slide to our predictions of what we are expecting from the 2025-2026 college football season. Obviously, last season, first year of the 12-team playoffs they're trying to move it up to 16. Right now it's 12. We got some debate about how the playoffs should work. We'll save that for after we predict about who's going to go and who we feel like going to win. We're going to just start out at the conference level first.
Speaker 1:We got the Power 4, rip to the Pac-12. He was once loved. But the Power 4, the RIP to the Pac-12. You know, he was once loved, but the Power Four. We got the Big 12. I'm going to start out with that one because that feels like the most competitive one, as it seems like 75% of the teams in that conference feels like they can win it. Last year it was Arizona State, but the last week there was like six or seven teams that had the opportunity to play for the Big 12 Conference Championship game. Colorado's there, they're looking pretty decent. Byu they had to switch out of quarterbacks. That's a different conversation for a different day, so we'll see if they'll be okay. Kansas they had a down year at the beginning of the year, but they came up. I'll start out. I'm just going to say Arizona State. I got them repeating, but anybody can do it and it wouldn't even be a surprise if someone like Arizona, who was god-awful last season, can figure it out. Sinclair, what's your thoughts on the Big 12?
Speaker 3:I think Arizona State is still going to be in that mix. I think another team to think about over there that always puts a good team on the field is Kansas State. I don't know how they always put a good team on the field, but it's like they're always in that mix. But it's like they always in that mix, it's like they always are right there and stuff, and so I'll be always looking at them like hey man, it's like I don't really hear nothing about Kansas State. Then you get around to the end of the season, you're like they're in this conference championship game. So I always feel like they're going to be in that mix.
Speaker 3:You know, I actually think Colorado might have a better overall team than what they had last year. I feel like they're going to have a, because, looking at the transfers that they got in on that offensive line, looking at some of the dudes they done got in on that defensive line, and stuff like that, I feel like their line play is going to be a lot better. So I think that's going to give them a little bit more balance to their offense. And then, of course, they don't know which quarterback they're going to go with right now, but I think the dude Salter if he's out there, you know he can run too, and Shador was great, but Shador was not a runner. So I think Salter brings something different, with that aspect too, to them. So I really look at Arizona State, kansas State, colorado, and then possibly a sleeper choice for me might be a BYU.
Speaker 1:I agree with you. Like I said, the only issue with BYU is they lost their quarterback for unfortunate reasons, but they have rules. He broke those rules, so he had to leave. Also, I want to. I didn't mention but Texas Tech. They spent a lot of money on their roster this year, so that's another team to watch out for in the Big 12. Q. What you feeling about that Big 12?
Speaker 2:can I just say I wrote a lot of notes, right? Can I tell y'all? After Big 12 it says I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know Y'all listen to every team. Only thing I will add is Avery Johnson that plays for Kansas State Solid quarterback. I watched a lot of them last year. I don't know how, but they ended up on my TV a lot, so they had a couple Friday games and stuff. So I've seen a lot of Adrian Johnson. If he takes a big step, I think they will win. Arizona State has 17 returning scorers. They did win it last year, like me, I said, though it was like 16. They could have won it in them last couple weeks. So again, my note says I don't know, I'm just going to play, but if I had to pick, like I said, texas Tech spent a lot of money. Baylor went on a six-game winning streak to end the season last year. I don't know Arizona State because they got 17 people returning. That's why that's all I get. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean you don't know. I wouldn't bet on who will win because, who knows? Let's go ahead and slide to not the Big 12, but the Big 10 of the conference who has the last two national champions. Michigan was looking to have a comeback year. Michigan could not pass the ball to save their lives, but they did have a decent record beat Ohio State, beat Alabama. They have a new quarterback in Bryce Underwood, freshman, but if he could pass the ball even a little bit, michigan could be a problem. Ohio State obviously the defending national champion, new quarterback that's trying to figure that out. They obviously have, I believe, from my perspective, the best offensive player in Jeremiah Smith and the best defensive player. His name is escaping me, but he's a defensive back. So I believe they have the best offensive and defensive player in the nation. So you got to give credit where credit is due. There. You got Indiana, who we'll see if they'll be good this year. Stop it. I gotta mention their name. Indiana was good last year. We'll see what they do this year.
Speaker 1:This is going to be the theme for me. Penn State they get a lot of flack, especially head coach James Franklin. That wasn't a big one. I'm just going to give my spoiler for the national champion. I'm a big believer in Penn State this year and I'm a believer in that quarterback and I'm going to tell you guys why.
Speaker 1:Before I pass it on Drew Allard, the quarterback for Penn State. He was getting top five pick talks during the playoffs and he absolutely I'm not going to say S'd the bed, but he pooped the bed. How bad it was. But they didn't have a lot of receivers. They brought in some receivers. They have probably the best two-headed running backs outside of maybe Louisville. We got a nice little two-headed running back as well, but Penn State has a good two-headed running back and their defense is still good. I believe that this could be Penn State's year. So I'm rocking with Penn State in the Big Ten. I see Ohio State's out there, michigan's out there, indiana's out there. But you know, I know Q ain't feeling that, q what you feeling about the Big Ten.
Speaker 2:I don't even know why you mentioned Indiana. Nobody really thinks they're going to do it again. Indiana don't think they're going to do it again. I'm just calling it a spade a spade. So you mentioned Penn State and I wrote down can Penn State win the games they're not supposed to win? That's what it's going to boil down to for this year. He's going to win the game if he's favored to win it. But the question is is he going to beat Ohio State when he gets to the college playoff, when he's got to go against, let's say, georgia or Alabama, a team that's favored? Can he overcome that obstacle? I think that's the biggest thing with Penn State. He already proved that he can win. He's been there for over 10 years, which is crazy to think. I think he's going on 11 or 12 years. It's crazy to think he's been there that long. It was on the hot seat a couple times. But he's proven he can win the games that he's supposed to win. But are you going to win the games that you're not favoring him? I think that's the biggest question mark for Penn State.
Speaker 2:Ohio State is Ohio State. I don't even feel like we got to discuss that. You know what I mean, like Zinnick said earlier, they spent all their money on the football team. Last year they did it again. So we know what it is with Ohio State Michigan, like you said, the quarterback of Oregon, they got a new quarterback in Dante Moore and they probably got the best linebacker in the core in the Big Ten definitely, but probably in all of college football. And I won't pronounce their last names, wrong, because I'm not even going to get it close. But one's name is Bryce and then the other one is Mateo. Then there's another one. I couldn't pronounce his first or last name, so I even won't disrespect that man, but I think they got the best linebacking core. But they got a new quarterback and Will Stein, the offensive coordinator. You know he came from, he played at UofL. His offensive system is simple, so it's a bunch of quick screens, quick passes, but it works. I don't know. I think I'm going to pick.
Speaker 1:Oregon you got Oregon Oregon. Obviously they was the number one team all year. Last year they just ran into a pissed-off Ohio State team that lost a game that they had no business losing to against Michigan. So that's, it's crazy. But Oregon, I can see that I'm riding with Penn State. Y'all heard it here. First, I got Penn State. Q has Oregon Seneca Big Ten.
Speaker 3:I mean I appreciate Q you bringing in Oregon, because I was like Deion over here talking about Indiana and they didn't mention Oregon at all. I was like I get that Indiana had that good year last year. But I'm like bro, like you talk about Indiana and they ain't going to talk about Oregon, all right. But so I mean to me, I feel like the Big Ten is a three team race really between Penn State, ohio State and Oregon, and that's, that's obvious, right. Like you said, oregon got the new quarterback, dante Moore. I mean he was a five star recruit, big time quarterback, so we'll see what he's going to do. But they did lose. What is it that top receiver stewart? I think? Yeah, he's hurt and out, so gonna have to see what that's gonna look like not having him on the field. Um, dan lannan always puts out a real good defense out there for oregon. I mean, of course they got cut up when they met ohio state, but I mean that's still Ohio State. The first time they won they took that big L. The second time that wasn't even a game. But, like you said, ohio State came in with a different motivation. I want to see what's going to happen with their quarterback position at Ohio State. They got a bunch of good dudes in there to take it over. But who is going to take that over? Because I mean, you take that over, everything around you is there. Like I mean, you got the receivers. I mean everybody talks about jeremiah smith, but you got your other boy, uh carnell tate, and then they got the uh kid what's his name? I think brandon ennis or something like that. That was another top receiver. So they keep a good crop of receivers there. And then they got good running backs too. So if they don't get it done on offense to me it's going to be because of shortcomings of the quarterback, it's not going to be because of the other pieces.
Speaker 3:I do like Penn State, because I feel like they are tired of hearing that they cannot win that game, that they can always be there and not win it. So I think I'm going to go with Penn State too this year. Out of the Big Ten, bryce Underwood does anything for Michigan. Of course they can always put themselves in the mix, because it seems like Michigan right now has got a hex over Ohio State, where they just, even when they, like you said, even when they can't pass the ball. They still figure out a way to beat Ohio State. Like that's just a wild thing, like watching that game last year was crazy.
Speaker 3:I do a team I want to throw out there, since we throwing out randomss too, following Deion, since we're going to throw out some randoms, I feel like I want to throw out Nebraska because of their quarterback. If he can perform his whole season like how he started off at the beginning of the season you know what I'm saying they might make some noise because we know they coach Matt Rule. Usually, like once he's there for a couple of years, once he's at a school for a couple of years, he starts to get them into winning. He starts to get them winning and winning games and doing what they're supposed to do. I mean he did it when he was at, I think, temple, then when he was at Baylor and stuff, so he'll know how to end up doing that. So if his quarterback brings it, I think they might surprise some people in the Big Ten. But I think it's Penn State's league this year. I think they're going to take it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree with you with my rule Excellent college coach, iffy NFL coach, but not a lot of college coaches can be good NFL coaches. So, yeah, and Oregon, I will say that loss to Ohio State kind of like ooh, are they going to come back? Because that was a nasty loss, it was actually embarrassing. But, like I said, they was number one. Maybe they can flip that switch, especially if Dante Moore is the quarterback that people assume that he can be. So let's go ahead and move on. We're saving the ACC for last because we have ACC fans on the pod, so we'll save that. We'll just go ahead and knock out the SEC on the pod. So we'll save that. We'll just go ahead and knock out the SEC.
Speaker 1:Y'all know it's top dog LSU, alabama, georgia, South Carolina has a great quarterback. Florida they have a quarterback. If he can stay healthy, they can do some things. Tennessee probably not, because they've had a rough offseason. I mean kind of like the Big 12, you kind of don't know. But I'm going to go with Georgia. I think Georgia they're going to repeat Also. I mean Texas as well. That's probably the team that most people are going to pick because of the quarterback, but I'm going to go with Georgia Seneca. Give me your quick thoughts to the SEC so we can spend a little bit more time on the ACC.
Speaker 3:Quick thoughts on the SEC. Like you said, the SEC is always like this murderous row of what's going to happen from week to week. I just think it's. I think Arch Manning is exactly who we think he is and who they say he is or whatever. I just really think that and so my pick for the SEC is Texas. I think that they're going to take it because of that. But then also they got a lot of ballers over there in Texas.
Speaker 3:I know what Georgia is bringing back, a lot of players and everything. But I think they quarterback that Gunner Stockton or whatever. I don't think that guy's going to be that good of a quarterback for them and we saw how the up and down even Carson Beck had good moments, but in them big games he would turn it over in different things like that, and they couldn't recover from that piece. I do think Alabama's going to have themselves in the mix this year I really do. I think second year, under Kalen DeBoer, I think they could be like the second team. My prediction is Texas and Alabama playing in the SEC championship game and I think Texas is going to take it.
Speaker 1:The thing about Alabama and Kalen DeBoer. He better have a good year this year. He better make the playoffs. Them fans man got no tolerance for that stuff, especially after having the Golden Knicks save him. But Q go ahead.
Speaker 2:All right, so Alabama first 10 games averaged 39.5 points per game. The last three they averaged 14. So if they play like they did in the last three, they averaged 14. So if they play like they did in the first year, they'll be okay. If they play like the last three, he's going to be looking for another job. Just call us man. Can I pick, after the first week, the reason?
Speaker 3:I say, that is to hear me out.
Speaker 2:I want to pick LSU, but Brian Kelly. I want to pick LSU, but Brian Kelly, since he got to LSU, has lost his first opener. Every year he lost the opening game. Every year he plays glipsy.
Speaker 1:They haven't won an opening game since 2019, which is the national championship game.
Speaker 2:So this even goes back past Brian Kelly. So I want to pick LSU, but I want to see how they look in the week one. But I'm going to go LSU mainly because uh, that's my I feel like he's going to be a Hazman candidate. So if you got a quarterback, that's a Hazman candidate. You should be in the least in the SEC title game. So for that reason I'm going to go with LSU to win it, even though I wish you would let me wait until week one, and I, since you know Senegal, are picking the championship game. I guess I'm going to pick championship game too. I'm going to pick championship game too. I'm going to have them picking.
Speaker 2:Georgia got this running back, nate something, it's Nate something, frazier, nate Frazier, I did it right there, nate Frazier, I think he's going to carry them to the championship game. And the only reason I ain't picking Alabama is because until I see him do it at Alabama, I ain't picking Alabama. I almost picked Ohio State. It's because until I see somebody beat Ohio State, I don't want to pick against them. But I try to be different. I try to be different, but I'm going to go LSU with a win and they're going to beat Georgia.
Speaker 1:I got you. So SEC, like I said, murders Row is going to be a fight every week in that conference. But let's talk about the ACC, which is interesting. Obviously me and Q's favorite team, hometown team, louisville's in it, one of the favorites. You got Louisville. You got SMU, the newcomers. They made it to the conference championship game, clemson, who is the favorite? Some people have national championship favorite because of K Klubnick, miami, they there.
Speaker 1:But do you believe in, you know, the coach? I don't know. No, most people don't. I mean that's about it. I'm just going to say Louisville, man, I mean, that's what I mean. You got Louisville, clemson, miami, louisville just fought two-headed running backs and I'm being biased, I can't be unbiased. I got Louisville winning the ACC. But there is another team out there but they are interested about their coach and you know his love life. But I got to ask Seneca, since he is a North Carolina fan, not only who you think is going to win the ACC, since he is a North Carolina fan, not only who you think is going to win the ACC, but what are your expectations for the NFL's greatest coach heading to college, bill Belichick?
Speaker 3:What is your expectation for him in North Carolina? All right, so my expectations for Bill at North Carolina now, since we done calmed down, his girlfriend is is to get, is to have the Bill Belichick that we know that he is, um, and I think, because of the way that college football is set up, now Bill Belichick can work in college football because, like how we talked about earlier with the name, image likeness, all of that stuff. I mean, one of the first hires that he made when he came in was basically getting a general manager. That basically was a person that he got to just solidify that whole thing for him. And so I'm seeing some of the recruits and everything, some of the top guys that we're getting for Carolina that's in the state of North Carolina that's deciding like, yeah, we're going to Carolina now with him. I think that's going to be something. I do like the transfer quarterback that we picked up, the Gino Lopez guy I like him. I know they still ain't solidified who's going to be the starting quarterback, but I do like him and I feel like more people are caught on Beal. Of course I understand that he is more of the talk because he's a bigger star than most of the players on the field, but I think that's too when he does some of his greatest work, when it's like you know what I'm saying, it's not that big name star, where it's like this team effort.
Speaker 3:Am I going to be biased and say that we're winning the ACC? Yes, I'm going to be biased and say we're winning the SEC I mean the ACC or whatever, like we're going to go out here and win it. No, I'm being for real. I don't think we're going to win the ACC, but I think we're going to have a winning season this year. I think we're going to knock off some teams that some people ain't going to suspect for us to win. I think the ACC is probably. I look at it as a two-team race between Clemson and Louisville and I like the quarterback transfer that Louisville got. I mean, the running backs are good, don't get me wrong. Y'all got good running backs, but I do like the quarterback transfer that came in Miller Moss.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about the running backs for Louisville here in a second. Q, though how you feeling? You going to hop on the bias train with me?
Speaker 2:That's a shoot. See, look at her picking North Carolina, knowing damn well they're not going to win. He knows damn well they're going to win. He knows that he didn't even listen to other schools. I mean, he listened to many years but he didn't give them no credit. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I mean what for what? For you know what?
Speaker 2:I mean, every other conference broke it down, dion, you did too. Y'all broke down every other conference. Get to y'all home conference. Nah, I'm just picking my scene, so I'm just picking my team, so I'm going to do my job. First, cool ACC being unbiased.
Speaker 2:Clemson could go undefeated, and I know they play us this year. Clemson could go undefeated. It's possible. It ain't likely, but it's possible. He don't want to recruit no transfers, he want to do it old school. Bring dudes straight out of high school that come up in our program. I ain't mad at it.
Speaker 2:But this is going to be a very interesting year. To see what Clemson does. Smu nobody mentioned. They got the offense to win quarterbacks. Good too. And see what Clemson does SMU nobody mentioned. They got the offense to win Quarterback's. Good too. They got the offense. They got the weapons on offense too. They got the offense to win games.
Speaker 2:What's that defense going to do? Is the question for SMU. What's the defense going to do If the defense could catch a nosebleed? You know, they might be able to win something. If they're on the same blood, going everywhere with the nosebleed, they might be able to win something. So, carson Beck going to Miami. I'm trusting I give Miami some credit.
Speaker 2:I think it's going to be possible for them to win the conference as well. I don't think it's going to be because of Carson Beck. It's going to be because the Cards are bad. It's going to be because they're the University of Miami. They got speed at every position. They got speed at positions that you ain't even supposed to have speed at. It's Miami. That's what they do down there. Then there's Louisville. You know the two-head running back. The biggest thing with Louisville is the defense could bend, but are they going to break? And if they break, how many times are they going to break? That's going to be the biggest question with Louisville, as well as the transfer quarterback. I ain't saying I'm a trainer, I'm not big on this. Let's get a transfer quarterback type situation. Nah, plummel was cool. What's his name? What's his name? What's his name?
Speaker 1:No, it was Shuck.
Speaker 2:Shuck was great. Shuck was great. Plummel was cool. The Miller Mouse dude, if you ain't making it in USC and they got weapons I'm just supposed to guarantee you go back and hurt. I can't say that being unbiased.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's tough because you know Jeff Brown here goes a little bit. He's considered a quarterback whisperer. But that boy, lincoln Riley at USC, he's a quarterback whisperer too if not more than Jeff Brown.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So, that being said, like I went through all of these schools being unbiased, so I ain't picking.
Speaker 3:So you did all of that to not pick anything.
Speaker 2:Because if I pick, then I'm going to be like yo, I'm going to pick a little. I mean what you going to do here, I'm going to pick a little. I want to get these other schools that credit, All right.
Speaker 1:Well, you gave me that credit. You got it picked. But let's go ahead and slide to the group of five teams. We're not going to go conference by conference. We're going to talk about teams that you guys feel like is going to be the best group of five. Obviously, we got Boise State, which they should be in a Power 4 conference. Just, I don't know, just get one, memphis, who we'll talk about in a second. They was trying to get in a powerful conference but, hey, somebody said, no, we good. And you got UNLV, also a pretty good team. Tulane, who has a great coach. They just picked up a great quarterback and the transfer quarterback from BYU, jake. They should be good Outside of those teams. I believe that I mean, those are your best group of five teams. Boise State doesn't have a Ashton Jenty this year, but they're still good. I think I'm going to rock with Boise State again to be the best group of five team and make the playoffs. How are you feeling, king?
Speaker 2:it is, I mean, the obvious choice and the easiest choice is Boise State, but Tulane has been building a program, so I think I'm going to go with Tulane. They've been building a program over the past couple years, you know, like Memphis has been building a program too.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about it this quick Seneca.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean Boise State is like, yes, it is easy to just say Boise state and I I won't even lie to you on the college football on the game. I always like playing with boise state because I like playing on that blue turf field. Um, I like what. I like. What unlv got out there. I I do like a unlv. I felt like they was. They played some good ball last year. You know, I've seen them a couple of times. They played really good last year. So I think they might be that team that might slide up there into it and make their way into the playoff this year. I won't be shocked, so I'm going to go with UNLV on that.
Speaker 1:So before we slide up to our Heisman picks, we got to talk about Memphis, this missional they. So before we slide up to our Heisman picks, we got to talk about Memphis, just mention them. They tried to get into the Big 12. Now we talked about the Big 12 as being a crazy. Like Q said, I don't know who's going to win. I barely know who's going to win. I just picked Arizona State because of all the returning players, but they tried to get into the Big 12.
Speaker 2:They gave like a $200 million offer.
Speaker 1:If I looked at it correctly, yeah, they did, to try to get into the Big 12 and the Big 12 said, nah, if I'm the Big 12, I don't understand why you say no, unless you're just like I guess we too deep but get as many good teams as possible. I don't understand why you're like, nah, if I'm. Another conference, the ACC, y'all. You got teams that's trying to get up out of there. Seneca, you know the team is trying to get up out of here. We got teams that's trying to get out of the ACC. Y'all still got that 200 mil. We might got a spot for y'all. But Q, how you? What's up? Why Big Tua say no to the Memphis?
Speaker 2:The reason I put this on the list is because this is what I'm trying to figure out. One, why the hell Memphis ain't in? I know they had their facilities wasn't the best. They got FedEx money. They always had it. But now FedEx started putting the owner or CEO started putting more money into Memphis and Memphis is growing and they're building their facilities. Why ain't nobody called Memphis a bull? Memphis should have been called Because it's a nice-sized TV market. Like I said, they got the FedEx money. They was always good at basketball Memphis.
Speaker 2:I feel like, if I'm the ACC and you seen that Memphis had $200 million and your biggest your schools is potentially leaving because of money. You know, like you said, it's certain schools North Carolina, clemson, florida State they want to leave. They won't cause all the drama because of money. Well, north Carolina really ain't causing drama to the other team. But okay, why wouldn't Clemson I mean the ACC take that $200 million deal and say you know what? Yeah, come on, because it out. Well, it don't make sense geographically, because we're a little bit of an ACC. That don't make sense. We ain't nobody's coast.
Speaker 1:Geography doesn't matter no more. We ain't nobody's coach Geography doesn't matter, no more.
Speaker 2:It shouldn't. You know? It's actually. I believe it's been the same this whole another day. It's going to come back At some point. This whole travel across the country it's going to come to a head. But if I'm not ACC, why would you not get Memphis at this point? They done built their infrastructure. Now they are attempting to win in all sports, not just basketball. And again you're struggling with money because all these schools are playing about money. Why would you not go get this money?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you know, I said ACC, y'all need to hit on Big 12. I don't know what y'all was thinking, bro. Memphis is a good program, so we'll see.
Speaker 2:And he keeps flirting with you're a mark. I think I said that last time the commissioner of the Big 12. He keeps flirting with this idea of getting UConn, uconn's, independent in football, but he wants it because of the basketball. Well, that's not my check. Then you ought to do okay down there. So why would you turn it down? If you want I know UConn, he does okay. Uconn wins national championships. I get it. I get there's a difference.
Speaker 2:But if you try to expand it that way, I don't understand why the Big 12 said no, because I'm still against West Virginia traveling the park, because West Virginia is still out there, in no means when the rest of the conference is not nowhere near. I wish I could go back to them Conference USA days when Louisville played Cincinnati and Memphis and you know West Virginia and all that. Those were the days, don't get me wrong, senator. Y'all cool with her, but to me Louisville should be playing Cincinnati in Memphis, we shouldn't be playing North Carolina and North Carolina State on the record. So I mean that's neither of them Seneca no.
Speaker 1:Big 12 said no to Memphis $200 million offer. What's your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3:I mean that doesn't make any sense at all. I mean y'all, like you said, you chasing other folks. For what reason, when this person right here is giving you the $200 million, the $200 million at no risk or whatever, giving you that at no risk to join in your league? Like you said, they're now looking to compete over all levels. I mean Penny Hardaway is there, so that's a big name for the basketball. Their football team is always playing good football. These past couple years they done put a good product out there.
Speaker 3:The head coach for Florida State he came from Memphis. That was another thing. Then, like you said, just piggybacking off of the fact that he came from Memphis, now he's at Florida State. That's in the ACC, acc. What are we doing? Acc? What are we doing? Like I get the whole. Like right now I'm seeing the whole North Carolina flirting with the SEC thing or whatever.
Speaker 3:Like I'm like y'all, though I want some of these traditional conferences back. Like I want some of these traditional conferences back. Like I won't, I won't some of that stuff or whatever. Like I think now I'm not going to jump into all of that travel, but I would like some of these conferences to get back to what they was and stuff that made geographic sense. And Memphis would make geographic sense for the ACC, even though, of course, yes, it's in Tennessee, but it's still right next to North Carolina. You know what I'm saying? It's a state right over. So what are we really doing? And they out here offering that up and yeah, I would have been right on the phone as soon as that denial happened and say, hey, we got a spot for you right here in the ACC, come on the.
Speaker 2:ACC. Hold on real quick, deion. The ACC, they go get Cal and Stanford because Notre Dame's athletic director said you know those are some good schools, so you will go all the way to California, but you wouldn't go get a school that's in between Georgia Tech and Google, just offering you money, all right, what I know, it makes no sense.
Speaker 1:Hopefully Memphis finds a home outside of the group of five. They are a good program. Like I say, boise State, memphis, tulane, unlv the group of five teams we talked about Pretty much all of them, I believe, could make the jump to power forward. We'll see what happens in the next couple years. I hope that geography thing does come back.
Speaker 1:But let's go ahead and get to the biggest award, the best award in all of college football, and that is the Heisman. Last year it was Travis Hunter. This year, you know, you got a host of players following for it. You got Jeremiah Smith from Ohio State, Ryan Williams from Alabama, lenore Sellers from South Carolina, dj Lagway from Florida, Arch Manning from Texas, garrick Nussmeyer from LSU, you got Isaac Brown from Louisville, you got Nick Singletary and Drew Allen from Penn State. You got a host of players that could potentially get it. It's usually a quarterback award. The quarterback didn't get it. Like I said earlier, I'm riding with Penn State for the national championship and I'm going to ride with Penn State winning the Heisman. I'm going to go with Drew Allard winning the Heisman. Q, give me a quick Heisman prediction.
Speaker 2:I'm going Gerd Gerd. That's my the only reason. He's good. If I'm going to have him beating Archie Manning, archie Manning in Texas, and not even having him in the championship game, you're going to have to ball out. So I'm going to go with the LSU quarterback Watch. They lose in Clemson first Watch.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to go with Archie Manning because, like I said earlier, I mean I feel like he is exactly who folks think he is. He's exactly that, and so I feel like he's going to have that ball out kind of year and everything and of course he's going to be in the spotlight. So that's a part of it is eyes on you and people being able to see you. So I think he's going to do that and then winning the SEC is going to be big for him. Him too, I mean, jeremiah Smith to me is like probably, like this year, maybe the most electric like college football player, but with your quarterback situation still trying to get figured out, that makes it tough for that wide receiver. So but yeah, I'm going with Archman.
Speaker 1:Looks like we're going to ride with the quarterbacks this year. There's a host of good quarterbacks but, yeah, I definitely think a quarterback is going to win the Heisman. But we got two more things we need to get to before we got here. I know I said my national championship pick is Penn State. Q got LSU Seneca. Can you give us yours real quick before we slide to the playoff talk?
Speaker 3:Yeah, can you give us yours real quick?
Speaker 1:before we slide to the playoff talk. Yeah, mine is Texas, texas, cool Texas. So the playoff talk right now is 12 teams. It's trying to get moved to 16. They don't even the conference commissioners don't know.
Speaker 1:The biggest debate right now in the playoff formatting is the Big Ten. They want automatic bids. They want four automatic bids, to be exact. They want to give the Big Ten four, to give the SEC four, give the Big 12 two, give the ACC two. Get a group of five team in there you get Notre Dame more than likely with one of the at-large bids and a couple more at-large bids for the 16 teams, with one of the at-large bids and a couple more at-large bids for the 16 teams. Every other conference they just want pretty much what it is now the five best conference champions and the next 11.
Speaker 1:I believe what the Big Ten wants. If it happens, it will be not the death of college football, but it will be hurtful to college football because you're basically saying the Big Ten and the SEC is above ACC and the Big 12. Maybe it is Sure you want to say that, but you can't put it out there on paper like that and the ACC and the Big 12 would be fools to sign off on that. Give me your thoughts on that Q. I texted to you. I'm sure you did some little research about it, but the Big Ten, they're heavy on that. Give me your thoughts on that Q. I texted to you. I'm sure you did some little research about it, but the Big Ten, they're heavy on that 4-4-2-2-1 model.
Speaker 2:If that's the case, why are we even playing college football? Why don't the Big Ten and SEC go play over there and then everybody else will play over there? That really does defeat the purpose. Are them two leagues probably the best two leagues? Yeah, that's fine to say, but we shouldn't guarantee y'all four. Then it also takes away. What does y'all conference championship game mean in the game if both of them teams is going to make the playoffs? What does it If them two are guaranteed to make the playoffs? That conference championship game does not mean nothing to them. If they get down by two touchdowns, the head coaches are going to start pulling stories. So then you watering down. You watering down your own product by attempting to guarantee spots. None of these top players should agree to that. If y'all want to do that, y'all go play y'all football over there. We're going to play football over here. It's just as simple as that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that whole format is just crazy or whatever. Let's make these games mean something or whatever. If you're about to do that for the Big Ten and SEC, shoot half that stuff ain't even going to mean nothing, no more. Because you know you're getting these four bits and so you're like, hey, I just need to be there, I don't even need to get to that conference championship. If I just solidify this, I'm good or whatever. And then, like you said, the ACC, big 12, y'all signed off on that. That's just a mess.
Speaker 3:I like the whole fact of the conference champions, the next best teams, because I feel like that gives you that opportunity and more of that parity. That gives you that opportunity of possibly those upsets and everything. Are we just going to end up with a first round where it's just everybody from the SEC and Big Ten playing each other again? We just saw a lot of that Like, if they get there, they get there. But if that's going to be like our first two rounds of just still their conference games, then I don't want that. I'm not trying to be with that Like, give me some of these other ones who's done, got into that mix and get into that whole thing and that flow of it, and let's see how it shake out.
Speaker 3:Let's just see how it shakes out.
Speaker 1:I agree with both y'all. And what makes it even worse with this four, four, two, two model which also the big 10 commission, he also wants playing games added onto that. So do add a little bit more context. It would be the obviously one, two, but it would be the three seed playing against the third best team, playing against the sixth best team when it goes to the playoffs, the fourth best team playing against the fifth best team when it goes to the playoffs. So it just waters it down just that much more. So I agree with you guys, acc and the Big 12, y'all cannot sign off on that, no matter what you do, no matter how hard the Big Ten commissioner is pushing for it. You got to stay away from that.
Speaker 1:But before we get out of here, we got to do some WNBA checkup. I know they got some crazy things going on. We're not really talking about that foolishness that's going on. We're going to talk about the play on the court. So, looking up the standings, I just had to pull it up. Let me just pull it back up for you guys. I got it, you got it. So what you got?
Speaker 2:Right now Lynx is number one overall 25-5. The Liberty is 19-10. At number two, the Atlanta Dream is third at 18-11. The Mercury also 18-11. Checking in at five is the Fever at 17-13., and then six is the Seattle Storm at 16-14. And then the Aces, the Valkyrie, the Sparks, the Mystic Sky Wings and, last place, the Connecticut Sun, which is also potentially being sold.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I mean, looking at the standings, it looks like we're on another collision course for a rematch between the Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty. We talked about Ms Cawler a lot on the recent podcast. She's looking like she's trying to get that MVP. I know Kim Clark. She had a little. She had her moments in which she has not been able to stay healthy that much. The Aces they've been looking a little shaky. But you know Aja Wilson, they'll find her footing when the time is right. But I want to give a shout-out to the Valkyrie. They're close to being 500 basketball, being a brand-spanking-new team. That's hard to do, whatever sport you do it in. So you got to give a shout-out. Is there anything standing out to you, seneca, with the WNBA?
Speaker 3:Yeah, like you said, a shout-out to the Valkyrie first year in the league. But one of the things I was talking to one of my homeboys about recently is to me the Valkyrie just showed the fact of more expansion needed for the WNBA, because there's a lot of great female ballers out here that's not getting opportunities because there's not that many teams in the league and they have to cut down these rosters and stuff. So I think the Valkyrie is showing how expansion continues to give you a great product of basketball on the court, especially on the female side. I do think that the Lynx right now is the cream of the crop. Of course the Liberty got their championship mentality. They got them one last year. So if it gets down to that, just don't know how that can shake out. I think the Lynx, having possibly home court advantage, could work out in their favor for them. Asia Wilson still. To me I mean, yes, collier is having a great monster year. She's going after that MVP and she. But she did get injured recently, so go ahead to see how that, how that, shakes out and works out for her. I just think that Aja Wilson is still just that best player in the WNBA to me she's just it, she's that chicken.
Speaker 3:Lead the Phoenix Mercury. I like their team man. I like them with Alicia Thomas. What's your girl? Satu? Satu, yeah, yeah, she is nice. And then they got your girl who just got over there, bonner, who's a vet, who knows about winning and stuff.
Speaker 3:So I think their Mercury team can really be a problem for teams in their playoffs. If they, if they how they've been playing ball this year, I think they could get to that WNBA finals. I mean, right now I think I'm gonna go with the Liberty, but I would not be shocked. I would not be shocked by the Mercury maybe messing up everybody plans.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm a sensible pick. I'm going to ride with the Lynx. Looks like they're on a revenge tour type of thing, so I'm going to ride with the Lynx Q. Give me your how you feeling WNBA standards and how you feeling about who could maybe possibly win it all.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I've watched the Lynx. To me, it's just me.
Speaker 2:I feel, like they're head and shoulders above everybody else right now. To me, from my perspective, I feel like they're head and shoulders above everybody else. Now, pisha, this is what, dion, you always talk about people when they get their trophy, it's already on the map as long as she ain't out for an extended period of time. I think now, pisha, that MVP trophy is already on her mantle. No disrespect to nobody else, you know, uh, at least at least Alyssa Thomas, she always gonna pop. Angel Winston gonna always pop. But I just think now, pisha, it's hers, it's hers for the taking. Um, like I said, I think it's the Leafs. Kay McClure is struggling. That's why my fever is struggling. That's why my fever is struggling. I can't think of his name.
Speaker 2:Point guard play for Wake Forest was in the Leafs for a little bit. Can't think of his name. But he said the fever is better off without Caleb Clark because they don't take a bunch of wild threes without him. So the offense is better. I understand the point. I disagree with it. But I understand the point. I disagree with it. But I do understand the point. The offense flows better. She ain't taking as many wild shots. But I do want to shout out Kelsey Mitchell, she should be in the MVP conversation because the Fever are only in this position, because she is consistently bothered.
