Nightcap Hour 1: Indiana HOOSIERS STUN Ohio State in Big10 CHAMPIONSHIP + Georgia MANHANDLE Bama for SEC crown + Georgia RB Nate Fraizer joins NIGHTCAP + Big12 Champ and Texas Tech DE Romello Height joins NIGHTCAP

22:37Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing play out. We're going to talk about this, but Alabama. they didn't belong in that field with georgia no they didn't belong in the field with georgia i don't care what nobody say i understand how the first game went at the beginning of the season i understand how it went but that means nothing that means nothing when you the first game of the season i'm not even gonna count that i'm not gonna count that because you as a team you know you aren't even into yourself yet you haven't found your stride you haven't found your stride So when you play in the last game of the season, one that matters most, one as important as this, obviously with college playoffs on the line, that's when you're supposed to play your best football.

23:21Towards the end of the season and when you're normally playing your best football. What we saw today from Alabama, that's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. And I still think that the committee is going to find a way to make sure they're in the college playoffs.

23:34Shannon Sharpe:They said they're not going to punish teams for losing in the college, if you're a conference championship, Ocho. But I call this. Alabama hadn't looked good for the last month. I told y 'all, everybody, man, get off Ty Simpson. Get off Ty Simpson. I say, Ty Simpson is playing bad. Go back and look at Alabama's offense the last month. I don't care what you say. He made a cardinal sin. It's four down. You cannot throw the ball out of bounds. If it's out of bounds, it's incomplete. Even if it's intercepted, give your guy a chance. You didn't give him a damn chance. You threw it out of bounds, and then you're looking like, what?

24:19Shannon Sharpe:You probably should have took the back on the rim.

24:26Shannon Sharpe:Guys are making mistakes that I shouldn't have to tell a quarterback not to throw the ball out of bounds. I shouldn't have to tell you that Give the guy a chance I mean Especially for the quarterback Even if your coach doesn't tell you what to do It's all about understanding The situation Situational awareness Situational awareness, that's what it comes down to Knowing that you can't throw the ball out of bounds I have to give whoever I choose to throw the ball to I gotta give him a chance You have to And to just throw it out of bounds, it makes no sense at all It's going to be crazy to see guys on fourth down throw the ball out the end zone.

25:05Shannon Sharpe:What do you hell you're hoping? Are you worried about your completion percentage? You worried about not throwing an interception? Tell me what you hope to accomplish by throwing the ball out of the end zone or throwing the ball out of bounds on fourth down. Tell me what you gained from that. Tell me how does that help the team. And I'm like, bro, I know this. I'm saying I know this kid did not just throw this ball out of bounds. Yeah. And I don't know who's calling the plays, but how many times are you guys going to go scat protection and going to let Georgia blitz you? I'm confused. I think – let's go ahead and get to this game, won't you?

25:45Shannon Sharpe:We got – let's get to the Georgia game. Copenhagen's spit-free pouches are packed full of American-grown tobacco. Made for welders. Stuck behind masks.

30:36Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. George Allen. After Kirby Smart team has dropped seven of their previous eight games against the Crimson Tide, the number three Bulldogs blip the script and put on a dominant performance in the SEC championship game in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. By securing their second straight SEC title, the Bulldogs finished 12-1 and likely secured a top four seed. I think they're going to be the number two seed. That's me personally, but neither here nor there. Maybe they leave Ohio State at two, but I think they're going to be number two. It's the first time Georgia's won back-to-back SEC championships since Herschel Walker led the Bulldogs to three straight in 1980-82.

31:18Shannon Sharpe:They won the national championship in 1980 over Notre Dame, and then they lost a couple of them. I think they lost in 81 and 82. I think they lost 82 to Penn State, if I'm not mistaken. And what you were talking about, Ocho, do you realize Alabama ran the ball 16 times for minus three yards Ocho yeah absolutely absolutely absolutely I mean statistically you look at the stats and you don't look at the scoreboard you know Alabama lost his game you know they lost his game he I mean I mean Tyler Simpson was 19 for what 39 one teeny one interception for 212 but you look at everything everything else statistically you know they lost his game it's no way they won that game man georgia georgia was dominant in all three phases of the game all three defense offense hell special teams i'm surprised alabama even was able to get seven points tonight yeah based on and again returners you see alabama returner you put your heels at 10 if the ball goes over your head you're like coach i'm at the 10 let it go how you feel if you fair catching a punt like you doing something special at the five.

32:33Shannon Sharpe:You fumble it and now you got the ball at the three. Stuff like that costs you, huh? Stuff like that costs you. At every level, you know you put your heels on the ten. Anything that goes over your head or past that, you let go. You wave everybody ass off, they get out the way, and you let the ball go. If they happen to touch the ball inside, inside, inside the five before it crosses, that's not on you. That's not on you. Yeah, look, Georgia looked like the superior team. They played like the superior team. I don't think, look, there's no amount of money. There's no amount of odds you could have given me to take Alabama based on what I've seen Alabama play in like the last month.

33:19Shannon Sharpe:So there's no way, looking at how Georgia has played the last month, looking at how Alabama has played the last month, you would have been a fool to take Alabama. I get it. man, that's what we do. The record, look at what we've done to Georgia in the last. I get all of that. I get all of that. But normally when you're doing this to Georgia, you're playing well going into that game. Y 'all not playing well. And you hadn't played well for a month. Ty Simpson has not played well for a month. That running game has been bad all year. Yes. Your defense is only going to be able to withstand so much so much but Gunnar Stockton 20 of 26 156 three touchdowns they ran the ball 41 times for 141 yards I mean it was just a complete demolition they sacked Stockton three times they pressured him numerous times Georgia's gonna have to Alabama's gonna have to have to fight a running game they got to Ocho you know not look well hey hold on hold on it's too it's too late now you talk about finding the running game right now this late oh well you got you got to get you a back Jameer Gibbs ain't walking through that room Jameer Gibbs is not walking back Trent Richardson not walking back through there with Mark Ingram is not walking back through that room so if you're gonna find one you're gonna have to find someone special you have to you're gonna have to you got you got to go get him you got to take him somewhere else the type of back that Alabama needs right now is not out there i don't know i don't know i don't know the uh the guy that we had come on that that came on with us he broke his jaw he had some elusiveness he's had some speed yeah but these other guys yeah man and receivers hey our boy our boy dropped a boy dropped a good one man went right through his hand man jeremy bernard he did he did he dropped it okay i'm talking about i'm talking about i'm right through his hands a little bit.

35:27Ain't no little bit.

35:28Shannon Sharpe:I don't look.

35:32Shannon Sharpe:Five years ago, six years ago, before the NIL, the guys wasn't making money. We'd give him great. He's a professional. He just have to be in college. But he's making money. He's making three, four million dollars. He's making two and a half to three million dollars a year. There's a level of expectation that comes along when you get paid. Ain't no more when he young. I bet his bank take direct deposit. He ain't too young to have a checking account. He ain't too young to have a banking account. I get it. I get it, Ocho. He's 18 years of age. But you can't convince me that this something is not – either something physically wrong or emotionally wrong with this young man.

36:13Shannon Sharpe:It started towards last year, Ocho. But this precipitous drop, Ocho, I don't even recognize it. And half the time, he ain't not even on the field, Ocho. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, obviously, you know, I don't know anybody at Alabama. I don't. And most of the time I've watched him on film. I think about what he did last year and I watched some of the highlights before Alabama played today. And I watched what he did last year. And every week it was like, what the hell? And what it reminded me of is the excitement that Randy Moss, the excitement that Peter Ward brought to the game of college football, because it's the type of player.

36:46It gave you that experience like people had that lived in Atlanta when Michael Vick was playing. when he has the ball in his hands and when the ball is in his hands, you don't know what the hell is going to happen. Something special is going to happen. So to have that excitement from him last year and then this year, it looked the way it does. I don't really understand. That's not just a drop, Unc. That's not just a drop in just production. It's just something is wrong. And I don't think it has anything to do with football. It has to be something off the field. It has to be something off the field because last year, Unc, there was there was a conversation that to be had whether he was the best receiver in college football outside of Jeremiah Smith.

37:24It was one and two. It was one and two and it wasn't even close as far as anyone else is concerned. I don't know what it is, man, but that's somebody to tell you the truth. He's so great. He's so special at such a young age. That's somebody I would love. I would love to have some type of impact on when it comes to playing the game itself.

37:45Shannon Sharpe:Well, I hope you can get in touch with him or his people reach out to you. I'm surprised. And maybe they have reached out to someone other than yourself. Obviously, no one has reached out to me. But maybe he does have a mentor or mentors. Maybe he has someone that he can talk to or bounce things off or whatever he's going through in his life at this current time, Mojo, that hopefully he gets that resolved. But this is not the kid that we saw last year. And the thing is, it's now that we judge these kids differently because we know they're the top level kids, the Jeremiah Smith, the Arch Mannings, the Ryan Williams, these guys.

38:26Shannon Sharpe:We know that it's not just you just not getting books. You're not getting just tuition and room and board. Yeah. And so there's a level of expectation. The more you make, the more expected of you. we're not just talking about professional athlete that's any job whatever your job is the more you make the more is expected of you so I'm just surprised Kalen DeBoer said the number 9 Crimson Ties are deserving of a spot of the college football playoff saying that a conference title game lost shouldn't be punishment if this game applies to take to and take away from our resume I don't think that's right I really don't I think the precedent has been set and I don't know how you can go into a conference playoff game where you're the number one seed and did all these things throughout the year and playing in this game, one of the top teams in the country as well, and how that can hurt you and keep you out of the playoffs.

39:25Shannon Sharpe:When again, we've done what we've done all year, but you look bad over the last month, coach, you're right. I have another question. Now, I hear what Coach is saying and making this argument on why they should be in there. You shouldn't be penalized for playing in a game this magnitude, obviously an extra game. But will the committee also take strength of schedule into consideration as opposed to everyone else's schedule? Well, I mean, you look at the strength of schedule. They played Georgia twice. Look at where Vanderbilt's ranked. They played Oklahoma. Right. They played Tennessee. Mm-hmm. So they played powerhouse teams.

40:09Shannon Sharpe:I mean, the strength of schedule, you look at the SEC and what is, you know, look at all the teams. There's a great chance Ole Miss is going to get in. Oklahoma has a very compelling case to get in. Vanderbilt, Tennessee says, oh, what about us? We know Georgia's in because they won the SEC championship. Could you have four teams from the SEC? Maybe even five? Absolutely. Right. Absolutely. Absolutely. I think you're only getting two in from the Big Ten, which is IU. and Ohio State, then you got to have Texas Tech. I don't think anybody's getting in from the ACC. If I'm not mistaken, I think Duke just beat Virginia.

40:44Shannon Sharpe:Ain't no 8-5 team getting into the college football playoff. No. So with that being said, so I think you're going to get Texas Tech, Georgia, IU, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma. Now, where do we start going? and you see all these other teams going to have a compelling claim. We got six other teams that's going to get in. I just – it's just hard. It's just hard for me to see Alabama. And y 'all know what I think about Alabama. But based on what they've done the last month of the season, nah. They have – I don't believe they've earned the right to be in. I don't think – for me, Ocho, for me personally, and Chad, y 'all can disagree if you like, I don't think they're one of the 12 best teams in the country right now.

41:31Shannon Sharpe:I don't. Ooh. you don't think so nope do you think there's any chance Miami and Notre Dame get in

41:44Shannon Sharpe:I mean oh Texas A &M they got one loss right I don't know about it I know people people love Notre Dame but I just huh huh Yeah, I'm looking. Yeah. So I think Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech. Then you got Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A &M. All with one loss. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

42:21Shannon Sharpe:Then you got Texas. Okay. Okay, yeah. So that's seven. So if you take the top seven teams that was entering the day, I think they're all going to be in. I think Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A &M, Oklahoma. I think those are no-brainers. I really do. Now, you look at Notre Dame, look at Miami, you look at Texas, you look at Vanderbilt. I just. So you don't see any scenario where Alabama gets in? Oh, I can see them getting in because people say, well, you know, Because they've said, the committee has said, we're not going to hold a conference championship loss against you.

43:02Shannon Sharpe:Against you. Okay, okay, okay. So A &M didn't play for the conference title. Neither did Oregon. Neither did Ole Miss. Neither did Oklahoma. Notre Dame doesn't have one. Miami didn't make theirs. Vanderbilt didn't make theirs. Texas didn't make theirs. So we play. We lose. You sitting at home watching us play, and then you jump us. I can see what Kalen DeBoer is saying. The committee might feel the same way Kalen DeBoer is feeling. Right. But just my eye test, they're not one of the 12 best teams.

43:37Damn. They're not.

43:41Shannon Sharpe:Not in my estimation. Not based on what I've seen over the last month. They're not one of the 12 best teams.

43:51It's going to be exciting. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be exciting.

43:57Shannon Sharpe:I can't wait. Yeah, I just, like I said, as you look, I think those other teams, I think all the teams that are in the top eight, I think they're going. Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A &M, Oklahoma. So that's one, two, three. That's four teams right there from the SEC. Right. Yee! All right, we got a very special guest joining us today. He ran for 52 yards and a touchdown today, and he helped the number three Georgia Bulldogs win their consecutive second back-to-back SEC championship game. Nate Frazier is joining us. Nate, how you doing, man? Good, how y 'all doing, man?

44:45Shannon Sharpe:We doing good, man. Hold on, hold on. You just win the SEC championship and you in your room? What's really going on? My game room, my dog. You in the game room? Pay in the camera, let me make sure you ain't got something off camera. Pay in the camera, let me see the room, let me see the room. Let me see the room. Hold on, hold on, hold on, let me get, let me get y 'all right here at home.

50:10Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, see, I know he's ushered out of the room now, Ocho. I don't know. I want to see now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think he's sleeping? He done told him all to leave. Nah, I'm not. He gave me an error on my side. I'm going to leave. You can't be slick to a can of oil. You think you slick. Nah, it's an error. It's an error on my part.

50:39Shannon Sharpe:I hear right. You hear a bunch of people. Shh, don't say nothing. Yeah, yeah. I can't get no trouble on night camp.

50:49Shannon Sharpe:But Nate had an unbelievable game today. He had 13 carries, 52 yards. He had that touchdown on the counter that really, for all intents and purposes, I thought the game was over. The game was over at 14 nothing, considering that Alabama's offense. We all good. I mean, we would just give you a hard time. We know what's really going on. I mean, contrary to what you think, man, you know, hey you know uh you know up in the late 50s but i did go to college man i went to college you know what i'm saying i felt like you did how i was getting here tonight man the last thing i'm doing after this is putting my head to a pillow whoa hold on hold on you y 'all just wanted that y 'all no y 'all didn't just win y 'all dominated y 'all dominate today and you go you going to bed i gotta go to sleep with you don't go to church no more oh you're going to church in the morning That's why I got to praise the Lord, man.

51:43Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man, that's awesome. That's unbelievable. Okay, okay. Hey, boy, hey, boy, hey. Listen, I like that. Boy, you got your head on right. Boy, you hear me? You got your head on right. Listen, today's game, what did that feel like for y 'all to be able to dominate in all three phases of the game, especially offensively? How did that feel? It felt crazy, man. It felt like everything we worked hard for, you know, really just paid off. It felt great. It was a great win. I'm so proud of my boys. I'm so proud of my brothers, man. man, it felt great to be back at SEC Championship. That's just something that you don't do.

52:12That's hard to do, man. So that felt great. I'm so proud of my guys.

52:16Shannon Sharpe:But you know, coming in, look, you had heard the story the last six or seven times, Alabama had beaten Georgia. They beat you guys earlier this year between the hedges. So obviously this was a matchup that you wanted. You felt, you're like, you know what? We let one slip away. But we get an opportunity to redeem ourselves and show that we're one of the best teams in the country. We're very deserving of going to the college football playoffs. And with that performance that you got today, I know Kirby probably told you, you guys are probably going to earn a buy. You're going to probably earn one of those four buys.

52:47Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. Feel good. Boy, I know you got a week. We're here. I got to do a bloody Tuesday about 15, 20 periods. Two-three-hour practices. Straight pay, pay, pay, pay, pay. That's a good practice. That's going to feel good for him out of a couple of days, man. Kick my feet up for a little bit. Yeah, most definitely. That would be good for y 'all too. Being able to have that by allowing players to heal up, allowing some other players that may be injured, allowing them to get back and get back in the good graces of health so they can be at their maximum potential when it's time to play again could be a great thing.

53:22When you look forward to the college playoff, when you look forward to the college playoff, is there a specific team that you really want to see or you really don't matter? Whoever's in the way, we got to step on them. No, whatever's in the way, man. Because every team that's in the college football playoffs is a great team. It's going to be a challenge. We got to take care of business. You know, we can't look at no team any differently, but we just got to make sure that the next game, the next game, we just need to do a game plan for the team that we figure out who we're going to play because no team just in the college playoff for no reason, dog.

53:51Right, right. Every team that's in the college football playoffs got some fighting, a nation's all like us, so we just got to be prepared and ready.

53:58Shannon Sharpe:When I look at you guys, knowing what you have on both sides of the football, probably the way you guys practice, the game is probably easier than some of you guys' practice. Knowing what you have, the four and five stars that you got on offense, the four and five stars that you got on defense. And Kirby is old school. Kirby got y 'all guys spun it up during the week. It ain't no shorts and walkthroughs and all that. Kirby, hey, y 'all putting helmets and pants on pants. You know, you fuck, dude. Two days before the game, we had bats. Damn. Kirby, turn it up. You know what you're doing the game?

54:35We in it. Yeah, there ain't no in. Georgia is hard. Georgia don't come to have to go through no breeze through college and do walkthroughs on Mondays and Thursdays. Right. No, Georgia is hard. If you want to be a great player, life is not easy. So Georgia, you like lessons. Georgia teach you that life is going to be hard, so they're going to have to go through some hard.

54:56Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that's dope. You know, yeah. To play hard, you got to practice hard. And I think a lot of teams have gotten away from that. I mean, I know in NFL, they definitely don't practice like we used to practice. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Cut his teeth under Coach Saban. Coach Saban is old, old. Coach Saban go way, way back. So that's the only way. And that's why you guys constantly put out three and four and five guys in the first round. Have ten guys get drafted every single year because this is what you do. Iron sharpens irons. We got some of the best offensive players. some of the best defensive players, and we put them to the test every single day, every single week, so when we get in the game, oh, man, y 'all about to get mollywhopped.

55:40Yeah.

55:40Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. Yes, sir, OG. And I got to curse for y 'all because y 'all some legends, man. I wonder what y 'all mean by practice, how y 'all practice. Y 'all give me a story of what y 'all go through, what y 'all practice is like because y 'all know y 'all playing that time. Yeah, see, you got to understand. I'm going to take this first before I'm going to let you go. You got to understand. When we played, Young Bull, when we played, we had two-a-days. And our practices was two hours, two hours and 30 minutes. And we had two full padded practices. You know, out there in the morning, the first practice, 6 a.m.

56:13You go out there, you got lunch, you go take your nap, and then you got the second practice in the afternoon. Now, this is training camp. This is training camp. So we had two-a-days. When the season started, well, you and pads Wednesday, Thursday. Yes, we have certain periods. where it's all it's all out full contact fridays it's fast friday you got your helmet on you got your shells you got your shorts saturday is walk through game on sunday you repeat the same cycle the rest of the season well thank god i was born in 2000 yes hey boy listen in college

56:47Shannon Sharpe:i see when i was in college we had old coach davis now they ain't got this little protocol the rules and regulations like y 'all got now it was three hours and then Savannah it was hot now when I got to the NFL we thud it up we ain't ain't no a just wrap him up nah 907 we putting people on the ground in team drill around you a we ain't driving you in the ground but you gonna hear some pads popping oh yeah training camp was oh just say it was two a days we we once had a practice in I think that was 94. We had eight straight days or two a days. Each practice was two and a half hours long. And we putting people on the ground.

57:28Shannon Sharpe:Goal line, nine on seven. See, now they got walkthroughs and you have one of your practices a meeting. Meeting? Well, you meeting to see, hey, we tried to lay your ass out. That was the meeting that we was having. It wasn't no meeting about what we going to do. That's what it was. But you guys now, but Kirby, that's why you guys are so ready to play. You have to prepare your body to take that kind of punishment in the game. You cannot. You cannot ask your body to do something it has not done. You guys hit in the game because you hit during the week and your body is conditioned to take that kind.

58:05Shannon Sharpe:That's why Georgia constantly have 10, 11 guys go to the NFL every single year. This is why those guys play at an elite level every single year because their bodies are used to that. And you got great coaching. You got one of the great college coaches of this generation. And you put the best against the best. And that's what you have to have. So you guys are in a great system. You made the right choice. I don't know. What made you pick Georgia? Are you from Georgia? No, sir. I'm from Compton, California. Compton? How the hell you get well with that? You from Compton? Yes, sir. I'm from Compton.

58:39Hey, what area you grew up in Compton? You know the Martin Luther King Hospital? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean, Tonya? Okay. I grew up in the Jordan Downs too though, like trying to watch all my people's Westmite area. Like I grew up in LA, baby, period. Like that's just - Jordan Downs, man, you know, listen, you know I went to Santa Monica Junior College. Oh yeah. Yeah, I stayed across the street. I had a little girl back in the day, man. I stayed across the street from Dorsey, over in the jungles, in the third building off Coliseum.

59:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what made you pick George? You got UCLA, you got USC. Man, you got a hundred colleges in between California and Georgia. You know how OJU is explaining all this stuff about Georgia, how Georgia is different than Georgia getting 10 or 12 players drafted? That's one of the main reasons I chose Georgia because Georgia is different. To be successful in life, you gotta be different, my dog. You gotta be different. You gotta be doing something different than others to be successful in life, to be on top of somebody. So one of the main reasons why I chose Georgia is when I stepped on camera, I just got a different feeling.

59:40I got a feeling that I was at home. I got a feeling that the people that are around me was going to try to take care of me to get to my furthest potential. So that's one of the main reasons I chose Georgia. Georgia is a great place to be at. I love it.

59:53Shannon Sharpe:You said something very important. You said you got to, if you want to be different, you got to do different. And I just want to tell kids, Nate, when I used to talk to kids, I said, in order to be great, you must do what others can't or won't. Sometimes you have to do both of them. You got to do what they can't do and what they won't do. because a lot of times people talk about being successful. Now, let me ask you a question. People always, always write down your goals. I bet you wrote down when you got to Georgia and this season you had, you wrote down 10 things what you wanted to accomplish.

1:00:26Shannon Sharpe:But then on the right side, did you write down 10 things you're willing to sacrifice to make sure you get through those 10 things that you did? See, that's what you have to do. See, you write down your goals, all you want to. But will you write down what you're willing to sacrifice in order to get those goals. That's when you take it because nothing great can ever be achieved without sacrifice. The greater the goal, the greater the sacrifice must be to reach that goal. You understand what comes along with playing in football. You want to go to the National Football League. There are going to be some times you're going to have to deny family.

1:00:59Shannon Sharpe:I can't come to this. I can't do that. I've got to study. I've got to practice. I've got to be X, Y, and Z. And you can't feel bad. Man, I feel bad. I can't go to my mom's. I can't do this. Okay. How great do you want to be? Yeah. Sacrifice. Sure. Man, I just love having young kids. And I see the hunger in your eye. I see that you want to be great. I give you a hard time. I'm like, man, you ended that. But I was the exact same way. I went to one party in four years at Savannah State. Because partying wasn't going to get me to the NFL. I knew it wasn't. And I didn't begrudge anybody that was going to party.

1:01:41Shannon Sharpe:My grandmother sent me to college for two reasons, Nate, to get a degree and go play in the NFL. Now, I knew they were going to happen. I didn't know which one was going to happen. I got my degree because it wasn't good enough for me to go to Savannah State or attend Savannah State. I graduated from Savannah State. But I was going to that next level. And so you have the right mindset. I love the fact that you said, man, I got to get up and go. I got to go to church because there's somebody with a high power that blessed me to be in this position and keep me safe when I'm in these ball games because I understand one hit could be the end of it.

1:02:15Shannon Sharpe:So I got to give somebody that credit. I got to give somebody that glory and say thank you, not only for keeping me safe, but for allowing me to wake up this morning because a lot of people had an appointment, Nate, they couldn't reschedule. Go ahead, Ocho. Hey, listen, I understand. Obviously, you're very disciplined. You're very structured in the way you carry yourself. Understanding that, you know, God is the reason for all your success and will be the reason for all your success long beyond college football, but for fun. How do you get a mental reset and do things you like to do to get you away from the game?

1:02:51You know, you got to have something because you got to be able to fall back on. For me, my fall back on is video gaming. Gaming is my fall back on. I'm talking about literally. I don't even go lie to you, OG. I feel like sometimes I go fishing. Like now I'm a Georgia, I do like outdoor things. Like I do deer hunting, I do fishing and stuff like that. You know, it's just like to get a connection with nature. It's peaceful, it's quiet. You know, it teaches me paces and stuff like that. Sometimes I play my game. But really one of the main things I just do, I just vibe and listen to music. You know, like you ever got to do a late night just cool and just listen to music, the sun dropping.

1:03:30I feel like I got an old soul. Right, right, right. Right. Just chilling down. Just doing this vibe. I don't really like being around with all the corollary and loud noises and stuff. But for a fun time, I just like to chill and just relax, man. Just relax.

1:03:45Shannon Sharpe:I like it. Seven days out the week physically, you know? Sometimes you want to chill and relax. What you fish for? What you going fishing for? I ain't gonna lie. I just started fishing. Oh, so you catching anything to bite? All right. Catfish, largemouth, smallmouth, perch, bluegill,

1:04:06Shannon Sharpe:garfish, croaker, whiting, it don't matter, shad, mullet.

1:04:15Shannon Sharpe:Did you say you like to hunt? I'm starting to like it. I just don't like it. The after process. Oh, you don't like the dressing. You don't like the dressing where you okay. What you going hunting for? Are you hunting for deer? What are you hunting for? Have you killed one? Have you taken one night? I got one. I got one. I got me a doe. I got to give me a buck. Man, come on, man. How you gonna kill me? I don't understand. There's a small period that you can't kill the doles. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. It was a decent size one though. I got to give me a buck. I got to give me a buck. I got to give me a buck.

1:04:49Shannon Sharpe:Hey. I thought you got a spike or a Yarlen buck or something like that. You killed a doe, man. You killed a doe, man. I can't believe you.

1:05:00yeah hey nate i got i got to show you i got to show you this footage nate i uh i i killed me a buck right oh no listen i was i was sitting in the tree i was sitting in the tree and he didn't even realize he was right up under me you know i was real quiet so instead of using the arrow and i had my shotgun on my back so i had to i had to bow and arrow too so i was like rambo boy instead of using my shotgun and my arrow I jumped on his back from the tree I jumped off the purse and I was around his neck I had him around the neck and I put him in like a like in a full Nelson okay choked him out if you if you're doing all that they probably might need to put you back on the field no no no no no no because I hurt somebody on the field bro yeah but that's

1:05:48Shannon Sharpe:unbelievable man Nate congratulations on the big win today congratulations on your season thus far. Now you know it's not over now because your ultimate goal, you know, you want to win an SEC championship. You want to get in the college football playoff. Now you're there two or three. Now you want to finish this thing off. And when you get to the next level, that's the start of the journey. It's not the end. It's the start. You start the process all over again. So congratulations on this year. Stay healthy, man. And we look forward. We're going to watch you down the road, man. You turn me into a Georgia fan, man.

1:06:20Shannon Sharpe:You make me proud, man. And having a conversation with you today, I'm extremely happy for you. I'm extremely proud of you. And I wish you all the best moving forward. I appreciate y 'all. Thank you for your time, man. It's a blessing. Thank you, bro. All the best. Love, man. Good luck. Nate Frazier, Georgia running back, 13 carries, 52 yards, and a touchdown today in a 28-7 win over Alabama in the SEC championship. Texas Tech, all in best, just played off after the offseason. The big spending for the number four Red Raiders secured the first Big 12 championship in program history with a resounding 34-7 win over the number 11 BYU Cougars.

1:06:58Shannon Sharpe:Texas Tech assembled what can now be called one of the greatest transfer portal classes up in the evolving era of the NIL and transfers in college football. A group of 22 incoming transfers that yielded 11 players who started in the Big 12 title game and four first-team All-Big 12 performers. Texas Tech has built ones to believe to be the best defensive line in college. David Bailey, Romello, Hype bringing nonstop pressure. Lee Hunter, Skylar Gill, Howard, and A.J. Holmes Jr. wreaking havoc outside. Five hand-picked players out of the portals who could transfer not just their front, but their entire defense.

1:07:40Shannon Sharpe:I love what Rodriguez says. Hey, if we got the best team money to buy, why did I go ahead and end this thing off the right way? Oh, yeah, definitely. Most definitely. But honestly, this Big 12 championship, it almost looked – it was one-sided. It was a one-way street, similar to the Georgia-Alabama game. It was almost as if BYU didn't belong there, even though they did. They earned their right to be in the Big 12 championship, but Texas Tech showed that there's levels. They showed that there's levels to the game, and they showed that there's levels to college football and being in that Big 12 championship and showed why they actually made it there.

1:08:21I mean, there's not much to talk about, you know, for BYU, but for Texas Tech, listen, it was a dominating performance. It was a dominating performance across the goddamn board. When you pay big money for something, don't you expect to get what you pay for?

1:08:35Shannon Sharpe:How many times have we seen it, Ocho? Somebody or a team spend big money and they don't get what they pay for. Or you spend big money on something and it wasn't what you thought it would be. When Texas Tech spent$15,$20 million, this is what I expect. I expect to be in the Big 12 championship. I expect to win the Big 12 championship, and I expect to get to the college football playoff. And you know what? Whatever happens, happens. But this was the expectation at the beginning of the season. This is why we spent that money. That's why we go and get all these guys out of the transfer portal. This is why we started.

1:09:11Shannon Sharpe:We got out of 22 guys we brought in. 11 of them became starters. Four of them became first team all Big 12. They're going to have some All-Americans. That Jacob Rodriguez, he's going to win a lot of awards. He's going to win the buckets. He's going to probably win the Nagurski. He's going to probably win a lot of the awards that goes to the best defensive player. He's going to win it. He's going to win it. And he earned it. He's a hell of a player. He's nice. He's nice, boy. He's nice. He won the buckets? Yeah. Yeah, because I guess the war show. When is the ESPN award show, the Home Depot award show?

1:09:51Shannon Sharpe:Is that Monday? The next Monday? No, it comes on the night. No one comes on during the week. But he's a phenomenal player. He's a phenomenal player. He had 13 tackles today. Ocho, a tackle for loss. They had eight tackles for losses. two sacks relentless pressure

1:10:18are the yeah

1:10:23Shannon Sharpe:so the war show is next Friday okay the 12th okay and the Heisman is the 13th okay the fight was a draw was it yeah it just ended it just ended in a draw oh man

1:10:48you think it would deserve to be a draw yes sir damn hey pit a pit bull pit bull is a problem especially if you're not if you're not able to not only withstand that pressure to be able to counter off it every time you need be because it make it look it makes him look like he's winning the fight because he's so goddamn active coming forward. That's all.

1:11:12Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, and in a fight like that, you got to be able to fight off your back foot, and very few people can fight off that. Everybody likes to come forward. They like to dictate the fight. That was the one thing about Floyd. Floyd can fight either. How you want to fight? Come forward. And every time you throw, I'm going to hit you inside your damn head. Every time. I'm going to catch you with something. Hey, man, you know, boom. Hey, he'll body shot, body shot, and then here come a check hook. You throw something, he throws something right back over the top. he was, hey, man, he was but but this we're going to get to the fight but Texas Tech there's advertised.

1:11:48Shannon Sharpe:Watching them today there's advertised. There's good as advertised and sometimes, you know, you look at it like, man, I wonder what it is because it's really my first, you know, you see a little here and there, you watch a little bit of it but today I got an opportunity to sit down and really watch them because they're good as advertised. They are the real deal. They're the real deal. That defense is legit. They put so much pressure on you. They put you under the rest. Offensively, they ran 41 times for 159 yards. The quarterback was 20 and 33, 215, two touchdowns, no interceptions. They legit.

1:12:24Shannon Sharpe:They legit. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. They're probably going to get one of those buys also, Ocho. I think Indiana definitely get a bye Georgia get a bye Texas Tech get a bye I think Ohio State is going to get the other bye I think Ohio State will get the other bye Texas Tech is going to get a bye Indiana is going to be the number one overall seed I wouldn't honestly I wouldn't want no bye you ain't got no choice Ocho I know I know what you mean I know I know they don't have a choice I just the momentum the momentum I don't I don't want to lose that momentum. I mean, everybody has a vibe because you got to think about it.

1:13:07Shannon Sharpe:The season's over now. They're not going to play. When is the first game? Like the end of December? Yeah. The first game probably not for another two weeks. Yeah.
