What is going on everybody welcome to Tigs bits and thanks
0:17
for joining us for our last show of 2024.
0:23
And look, like I said kind of in the chat, some of you guys have
0:27
been in the chat for a little bit.
0:29
Had no idea maybe doing this one solo.
0:31
May have a guest, may have a guest Co host may have all three
0:34
of us. Bossy the one man pop never know
0:37
is in here. I mean like the rock that he is.
0:41
That's right, that's right. I had no doubt she would be in
0:43
your Blazik. Busy day though.
0:44
Busy day, Had stuff going. Tried to close it out this
0:48
afternoon and so anyway, yeah, but I made it.
0:51
I'm here. I am here in the flesh.
0:53
And if you notice this cool new mic I've put together here, look
0:57
at. That.
0:57
That's official. That's official.
1:00
Like a Donna. You might.
1:02
It is a Donna. You might.
1:04
Yeah. I love it.
1:06
I love it. So you're talking to us from
1:08
this. It looks like it's something
1:09
that would be in a press conference.
1:11
Yes, yeah. So we could set this thing up.
1:14
That's what I wanted. You know, I could do like two or
1:17
three or four fake ones on the side and just have this one
1:19
bunch of microphones. Have a Joe Rogan Mike over here.
1:25
Put Rogan on there. The Rogan Experience.
1:27
Yeah, get you a little get you a little light, a little light
1:31
podium that you can just take with you maybe mount, have an
1:35
easy little mount on those things.
1:37
You can just set up press conferences anywhere like, you
1:40
know, folks, folks just get it going.
1:43
I love that. What a great idea.
1:45
Yeah. Yeah, man, We'll Blasey.
1:50
I don't know if you I know you don't know this because we've
1:52
been all been busy and it's it's the holiday season.
1:56
So. Well, first of all, welcome,
1:58
everybody into the room. Welcome to the last show of
2:03
2024. Stacey G is in the house.
2:06
She hit us with that. Everybody loves Tigs bits.
2:10
Yeah, that's right. That's right.
2:12
Everybody does love Tigs bits and every and again we continue
2:15
to talk about this, but we really need to get those shirts
2:18
out. We need to make them we do.
2:21
That'll be something. So right off the top of the top
2:24
of the show, just letting everybody know this is the last
2:27
one of 2024. Blasey doesn't know this, but
2:30
I'm calling an audible. We ain't going live next week.
2:33
We're going to take a break. Your boy needs a break.
2:36
We need to put some shows in the can for TV for our friends at at
2:42
right now TV. We need to drop a couple of
2:44
those episodes. Kind of just got to do a little
2:47
behind the scenes grinding. But we'll be coming out with
2:49
plenty, plenty, plenty, plenty of content in in January moving
2:56
forward. So this will be the last one
2:59
we'll take a little break because we, even though we
3:02
didn't go live a whole lot in November, blasey, we still, we
3:07
had a lot of shows. We did shows in between stuff.
3:09
We we've pumped it out. Take a guess.
3:13
How many shows do you think we've done this year?
3:16
As I I've done the math and and it's not 100% but I'm ±3.
3:23
Man total shows. Total shows between Right Now
3:27
TV, which airs every Wednesday at 8:30 PM Eastern one. 142.
3:34
How many? 142.
3:36
A little less than that, but not a bad guess.
3:38
I mean, capable of taking the content that we've done and
3:41
absolutely making 142 shows out of it.
3:45
Not bad, not not far off total hours of a video that we have
3:51
recorded that's that's probably probably close one for 142 hours
3:59
that's. Wild.
4:00
Yeah. I was going to guess like 5456
4:03
and then I got to think, you know, there's two in a week,
4:04
then 100. And I'm like, shoot, sometimes
4:06
it was 3. So I just threw that crazy
4:07
night. 95 yeah wow, we've done 95 shows.
4:12
This is the 70th, officially the 70th Tigs Bits podcast of the
4:19
year. Not related to the Bubba
4:21
exclusive shows, not related to the to the TV shows.
4:25
And of course we're able to mix some of those up and and all and
4:30
we didn't start that either and halfway through the year and all
4:32
that. So that's why the numbers don't
4:34
don't jive next year. You're probably close.
4:38
You're probably going to be close if we keep up the pace.
4:40
If we keep up the same pace, yeah.
4:44
Because because this really kicked in.
4:46
I I forgot that was about half. It was around July or August
4:49
when we really kicked in that extra year.
4:51
Yeah, you're right. But but the goal this year, if
4:54
you remember when we started all this was 50 wanted to do 50
4:57
shows and we I know that gives us a two week break.
5:00
You know, some point in time we may miss a show here and there.
5:04
We've been very consistent that is for Dang sure of putting out
5:07
putting out shows. So don't take a little break.
5:09
We'll come back. No worries, no worries.
5:12
So that'll be fun. We've got a Bob Cook is in the
5:16
house tonight. What's up, Bob Cook going on, Of
5:21
course, Of course. It's not a show without Paul,
5:24
man, Paul Rogers. Not a show without Paul.
5:29
Of the community. He is.
5:31
He is. And the one, the only Brian
5:34
Gilson, not Thomas Gilson. That's been the whole Thomas
5:37
thing's been throwing me off. Blacy, thank you Brian for
5:42
letting me know the other day. He's like, hey, I'm Brian Gilson
5:44
from the show, the guy that we've only called Brian the
5:47
whole year. Like didn't put the Gilson in
5:49
the Thomas I whatever, he gets it.
5:53
He knows how we are. He's been following us,
5:56
especially me. I'm just a airhead at times, but
5:59
that's OK. I've been watching a lot of
6:01
Saturday night lives here blazing.
6:03
That's OK, Good enough. I'm smart enough and dog on it.
6:08
Most people like me. Yes, they do.
6:10
Yes, they do. Yeah.
6:13
Speaking of man, since we went live last and I'll turn this
6:18
over to you and catch us up on what's been going on in in
6:22
Blossi. The one man Posse's world
6:25
finished our show. I think that was last Wednesday.
6:28
Thursday got this glorious haircut from my friend Renee
6:31
down the street. She is fantastic.
6:34
And then I immediately went down.
6:38
Not her fault at all. Like an hour or two later I had
6:41
to let him know. Bam your boy had like 103 temp.
6:46
Damn. The flu, pneumonia, I've taken
6:49
all of the drugs over the course of the last few days.
6:52
I've been I'm good to go, I'm good to go.
6:54
Fortunately, what never got sinusy or anything like that.
6:56
Nobody gives a crap but knocked me down for a little bit.
7:00
That's why that's why there hadn't been much content
7:03
dropping from from our world. Thank you.
7:06
Blacy has has made a couple of videos in this times about that
7:11
all your boy could could fester up to get out get out there.
7:14
I was down dude, but I'm back. I'm back and.
7:17
Then glad to have you back. Thank you.
7:19
Thank you. But then on top of all of that,
7:20
my daughter had her wisdom teeth removed.
7:23
So she had all four wisdom teeth like.
7:25
That's tough, man. Got to give a little clap
7:28
applause to Miss Tiggs. Miss Tiggs out there crushing it
7:32
over the last week for sure with, you know.
7:36
Nothing like rolling the Christmas after surgery on the
7:38
mouth, yeah? You know, you know.
7:41
But she's doing great. I'm doing a lot better.
7:43
I'm doing great. I'm fine.
7:44
That's good, man. Jim, today and back.
7:46
The lungs feel good. We're rocking and rolling.
7:49
I'm wearing a Drew Brees jersey. Why?
7:51
Why not? We're going to talk football.
7:53
Tonight, that's my place. So what's what's been going on
7:57
in your world, brother? Oh man, you know, just the whole
8:00
Christmas deal, you know, had a just kind of rolling through
8:04
that trying to get everything done, got everything knocked
8:07
out, you know, rolling into Christmas.
8:09
It was kind of chill kind of rolling into Christmas Eve
8:11
because I'd already done some, you know, obligations of travel
8:14
and stuff like that. We're already done.
8:15
So we just kind of was able to wake up on Christmas Day and
8:19
just kind of hang out and relax and, and just just just chill.
8:23
So now just getting ready for the big New Year's Eve and all
8:27
that action. So.
8:30
Oh, yeah, man, that's yeah, what's up, What's up?
8:32
But that, that's about it, man. You know, just just the
8:34
Christmas stuff, you know, which was which which was cool.
8:36
It was, it was really good this year.
8:38
Enjoyed it? Blasey Beta, he had a great
8:41
video he sent us. He he pranked his son.
8:44
What was that? It's an E bike, an electric.
8:46
Bike yes it's a yeah it's called it's called like the what is it
8:50
called the Red Star you know it's a trendy thing you know
8:53
where you can customize it but all these mods on it and it's it
8:57
thing runs like 33 miles an hour too so it.
8:59
Kind of. It's crazy.
9:00
Yeah, it is crazy. Yeah, I definitely pranked him
9:03
pretty, pretty well. He did great.
9:05
It was fun, fun to watch. I did I it inspired me though.
9:08
Blasey. So my son, I don't know if you
9:11
can, you can really tell. You can probably just see the,
9:14
the bottom of it. He got an, he got an electric
9:16
scooter, which was inspired from the, the beanbag toss, the world
9:22
record cornhole toss from the summer when he went and he got
9:26
to get on one of those things and he loved it.
9:28
So he wanted that for Christmas and he got it.
9:30
But I took him on a scavenger hunt throughout the house.
9:34
He had to go to different places.
9:36
It started in his stocking, had to go here, go there, you know,
9:39
all ultimately to get the key to come out here to the studio
9:43
where it was sitting right behind me, you know?
9:45
So that's awesome, yeah. Yeah, yeah, but then it was
9:48
raining all day yesterday, so he couldn't.
9:52
Ride in the carport. He didn't even do anything.
9:55
He just let it go, man. So but this morning is it was
9:58
better, so he got to ride it. I've ridden it.
10:01
I was wondering like, I bet, I hope I don't kill myself on this
10:05
thing. I didn't.
10:06
I didn't at all. No, it was cool.
10:08
They're easy to ride. They are.
10:10
They got about 15, which is still enough to hurt you.
10:14
You fall off. You don't want to fall off that
10:15
thing at 15. I.
10:16
Promise you don't. No, you don't.
10:18
No, you really don't. But Speaking of football, did
10:21
you see how fast Lamar Jackson ran yesterday?
10:24
I think it was a 48 yard touchdown scamper, 21 point
10:30
something mph in like so he could outrun that scooter.
10:35
That's what I was thinking as I was on that.
10:37
I was like, this thing's hauling ass, but somebody in a pro
10:40
athlete could outrun it. That's crazy, dude.
10:44
I was watching that game. They they made it that look so
10:46
easy yesterday. I mean, or I mean, it was just
10:49
pounding the rock. I mean, it's like when you're
10:51
giving Derrick Henry two and three yards, you know, before
10:54
you've been touching it. That's going to be a long day
10:56
for you. How many yards did he end up
10:58
with? He had 86 yards in the first
11:00
quarter and I kind of quit paying attention to stat.
11:01
I'm not sure how many finished. I quit watching the game.
11:04
I mean, it was just after halftime.
11:06
It was not, not not competitive. What an odd score.
11:10
I think the final score was 31 to two.
11:13
Weird, weird score. But he I love the post game
11:18
interview. You know, they had these
11:19
footballs that were made out of look like red velvet cake.
11:23
They were shaped like a football and to feed each other.
11:27
Derrick Henry has a very strict diet.
11:29
Like he's AI don't know if he's a vegan necessarily, but it's
11:32
extremely strict. He isn't going to eat a piece of
11:35
cake basically. And and apparently neither is
11:38
Lamar Jack. They both refused refused the
11:41
cake they made. What's her name?
11:43
Can't remember her name that that the sideline girl that made
11:46
her eat the cake That's just totally spun on them.
11:50
They got these cakes. We're not eating that.
11:52
Look at us. We're pro athletes.
11:54
Yeah. What's wrong with you?
11:56
Yeah, that completely takes them out of there.
11:59
They're. Going into the playoffs, scram,
12:00
kid. Yeah, they're.
12:01
Going into the Dang playoffs, they don't need that.
12:04
That pig. What's going on, brother?
12:06
What? Is happening.
12:08
I am going way, I'm way behind chat.
12:10
So sorry about that. What is going on?
12:13
Mr. Chuck Webb? I saw, I saw.
12:15
I do know who you are, by the way, after our last show and
12:20
you're going to Huxley tomorrow. Good luck.
12:22
Good luck, brother. Some weather I know has moved
12:25
there tonight. That's on Toledo Bend and Huxley
12:27
Bay, so be good. Paul says it's well deserved.
12:32
Little break. Appreciate it, fellas.
12:34
Appreciate it. Travis Robinson says hello from
12:39
Indiana. What's going on, Travis?
12:41
Appreciate you, brother. Appreciate you man.
12:43
In the house. Yeah, man, Indiana and that,
12:46
that's as good of a place to start, Blasey.
12:48
I think. I think Colton's up there, isn't
12:50
he? I think he.
12:52
I think he. Is for like a week or if.
12:54
He isn't. Now he was.
12:55
He was, yeah. Yeah.
12:56
So I mean, there's not been a lot going on in the Bubba Army,
13:00
you know, going on Bubba network, everybody's kind of
13:02
taking a break and that that's really ever it's that time of
13:05
year it's. The same time.
13:06
Of year, you know, you start to start to wind things down.
13:10
Hey, Gary, What's going on, my man?
13:12
Happy New Year's to you, Gary, and cooking with paging, cooking
13:17
with Halls. Yo, what's up?
13:19
What's up? What's up?
13:21
Love all this way and goats. I never can.
13:26
It's goats. It's just going to be goats.
13:28
That's all it is. So, man, look placey, let's talk
13:33
a little bit about college football.
13:34
What about the playoffs? Dude, I know it's been beaten
13:37
like a dead horse, but the College Football playoffs.
13:40
Speaking of, Indiana ends up being the closest game of the
13:44
whole Dadgum weekend, and it was not really as competitive as
13:49
even the score shows, you know? But what a disappointment.
13:53
All of them all, all those games.
13:54
It's been crazy every single game, you know, you could look
13:57
at and say, well, this team didn't belong.
13:58
This team didn't. No, it's just been, dude,
14:00
lopsided victories across the board.
14:01
I mean, you look at Tennessee and say, well, they absolutely
14:03
belong. And then they got just whacked,
14:07
you know what I mean? So I mean, are, are the rest of
14:09
these things going to keep rolling this way?
14:11
Just one blessed team and the other one just it's been
14:13
terrible so far. I'm, I'm, I'm hoping that this
14:16
these final matchups coming up that start, when does that
14:19
start? Next Tuesday, Wednesday.
14:21
Yeah, it's sorry, it's a yeah. New Year's Eve.
14:23
I think there's one game. Let me see.
14:26
Yeah, there's the there's one game.
14:29
Boise State's the first game, I think.
14:31
Yeah, I. Think so.
14:32
And then the next day there's three games on like at noon, 3
14:35
or 4, then like at 7:45 or something.
14:37
Yeah, they're staggered, staggered throughout on New
14:39
Year's Day. But that's going to be, I mean,
14:41
of course, you've got Penn State just wrecked SMU.
14:45
You know, that was wasn't that game was ugly from the jump.
14:49
And then you had Ohio State, as you say, you know, just trounced
14:53
Tennessee. That was pretty much done from
14:55
the jump. Texas and Clemson, of course
14:58
Clemson jumped off 7 nothing. And then it went back and forth
15:01
for a little bit. Ultimately 3824, it was a better
15:07
game. I wouldn't say you know, but
15:09
still. And then of course Notre Dame,
15:11
2717, the closest one. Of course Indiana scoring late
15:15
and some garbage points to make that close.
15:18
But I mean, Notre Dame and Georgia, that's going to be a
15:21
fun one. I think that's going to be your
15:23
that's going to be probably your best game.
15:27
Penn State and Boise State the the Fiesta Bowl.
15:31
I mean, that's a that's, that's going to be fun.
15:33
I think that that game, I mean, they everybody's good at this
15:36
point. Texas and Arizona State.
15:39
I ain't sold on Arizona State at all.
15:42
And then Ohio State and and Oregon.
15:46
Here's the thing that bothers me about it all, Blasey, those four
15:49
that I just listed. So they're they get the buy, the
15:52
automatic buy, which I don't like.
15:54
Number one, the whole seating of the the deal, I'll call it a
15:58
tournament, whatever you want to call it.
16:00
The seating isn't, isn't accurate.
16:02
It isn't number one through 12. You know, I mean, you got to
16:07
tell me Arizona State should be the 12 seed in this deal.
16:10
Maybe Boise State's the 12, Arizona's the 11, whatever.
16:14
And you play that in the first round and, and, and, and the by
16:21
people, whoever the four, if you're going to play it like
16:23
this and you get 4 byes, I think those four you're ripping the,
16:27
the, the SEC champion doesn't get to have a home game or the
16:31
Big 10 champion doesn't get to have a home game.
16:34
It doesn't benefit you to win your conference in some years in
16:38
some ways. You know, if, if Texas in in
16:42
Georgia, whenever they they started that match, yeah, if you
16:45
tell me the loser gets to play in a home playoff game, people
16:50
here, all you got to do is just lose the game.
16:53
I'd take the home playoff game over winning the SEC
16:56
championship. Yeah, Yeah, that's true.
16:59
I wouldn't have before, but that that's where it's at now.
17:02
So I don't know what the answer is, man.
17:04
Is it 8 teams? Is it 16 teams?
17:08
What do you do? Yeah.
17:11
I have no idea honestly. You know, like what what we did
17:15
know is like they thought that 12 was going to be the solution.
17:17
Everything's going to be fine. It's created more controversy
17:20
probably than when when when they had what was it 4?
17:24
So I have no idea, man, what the answer is.
17:27
I mean, at the same time, you want to reward a conference
17:30
champion, you know, you don't want to have a reason to lay
17:32
down the last game. But like you just said, if you
17:34
can lay down and have a home game, then what's the point of
17:37
winning the conference championship?
17:38
You know, So I don't I don't know, man.
17:41
They, they got some tweaks to do.
17:42
It's the first year you know they will, yeah, they'll change
17:47
it up. They will, they will.
17:49
GOAT says that that Clemson can't beat anyone from the SEC.
17:54
He's going to go ahead and congratulate Tiggs on the look.
17:59
I ain't saying anything. After LSU success at opening
18:03
games over the last handful of years, it's very fortunate for
18:07
you guys that we're coming to Clemson.
18:10
I was at the opening game. Yeah, You know, if I was LSU and
18:14
Clemson, I'd find a way to get out of that game for both of
18:16
them. It doesn't do either either team
18:18
any good. To.
18:20
Play that game, it's one of them's going to lose and get
18:22
behind the 8 ball a little. Doesn't end your season at all,
18:26
but apparently strength of schedule based off of this year
18:30
doesn't really matter. So you're just hurting yourself
18:34
that that's where I sit. This is going and it's going to
18:37
get uglier and this will happen again next year.
18:41
I kept reminding some folks was like this ain't the NCAA
18:44
tournament 5 seeds not going to be 12 seed kind of deal like in
18:49
a field of 64. It didn't going to wait.
18:52
You'll in football, the cream's going to rise to the top.
18:56
You're seeing that now. Now the next series of games get
19:00
to be, you know, a little more interesting, you know?
19:04
So yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure, sure.
19:08
What's going on? Effective Diesel.
19:11
Let's just love that name. And Rachel Cajun cooking.
19:14
What's going on, Miss Rachel, Welcome back, Blasey.
19:21
I kind of wanted to run down. We're going to keep this a
19:22
little short tonight, guys. We're not going to go too, too
19:26
long and if you all have thoughts on I am caught up
19:30
finally on the chat. You guys have any thoughts on
19:33
any of these games or you want our thoughts on any of the games
19:37
coming up either in the playoffs or bowl season?
19:40
We're just talking college football tonight.
19:43
I mean, we can talk whatever, but but but that's all we're
19:47
going to be talking tonight starting tomorrow.
19:51
I know there's some games tonight.
19:52
Not sure who's playing, what's going on right now, but starting
19:56
tomorrow, have a handful of games.
20:00
We've got the Armed Forces Bowl. Oklahoma and Navy are playing in
20:06
that. I mean, who you going to take?
20:10
Who you going to take there, Blasey?
20:11
We'll give a pick. I guess we'll just give a quick
20:13
pick on all of these two while we're running down them.
20:16
Yeah, didn't. So Navy lost to Army in the in
20:18
the right, an Army Navy game, I thought.
20:21
I think I think so, yeah. It was a great game.
20:24
It's so. Terrible talking about football.
20:27
I don't remember who won. I'm I'm going to still go with
20:30
Navy here. You know what I mean?
20:31
I they had an incredible season and they got a really good
20:34
football team. I'm still going to go with Navy.
20:35
I mean, Oklahoma, just sit there.
20:38
I don't know, Oklahoma could come out look like giant killers
20:40
too one week and then look like garbage the next.
20:42
So I have no idea which team you're going to get there, but I
20:45
still take Navy. There you go.
20:47
There you go. I'm go.
20:49
I'm going to take, I mean, I'm going to take Oklahoma.
20:52
I'm actually going to take Oklahoma in this simply because
20:56
Oklahoma beat Alabama at the end of the year.
20:59
They came in LSU and Oklahoma game was, you know, fairly good,
21:04
fairly good ball game, pretty good ball game.
21:06
So what I saw out of Oklahoma at the end of the year was
21:09
definitely a better team than they were at midway through the
21:12
year. I don't know what happened
21:14
there, but they definitely started playing some better
21:16
ball. So I'm going to go with
21:17
Oklahoma. I'm going to go with Oklahoma,
21:20
Goat says. Listen guys, hear me out.
21:24
LSU and Troy play at Clemson in consecutive weeks next year.
21:30
I think there needs to be a Tigs Bits road trip next year.
21:34
Oh, that would be great. Just.
21:35
Go to Clemson for like a week, like 10 days.
21:38
We'll just spend 10 days in Dabo country.
21:41
Go catch a butt. Yeah, I'm in.
21:44
I'm in. Look, if anybody would like to
21:46
sponsor that trip to Clemson, we're more than we're willing to
21:51
listen. We're willing to listen to an
21:54
all expenses paid trip to Clemson for 10 days that would
21:59
be. Phenomenal.
21:59
Man that would be so cool. It would be cool.
22:02
It would suck though for you if you were there though, and you
22:04
lost, and then you there for the next.
22:06
You got to hang around to watch Troy play.
22:08
He'd be I get to watch Troy. Lose the next weekend.
22:11
It'd be fun, so I may make up for it.
22:13
I don't know. The last time we were there, we
22:15
got robbed in a game where we stripped the ball at the goal
22:17
line and ran it back for a touchdown and they blew it dead
22:20
and we end up losing it that game and we should have won that
22:24
game. That was a absolutely got
22:26
robbed. I think we lost.
22:27
Home field advantage. Can't remember the score now,
22:29
but it was less than a score. Yes, total, total robbed there
22:33
last. So I think it's I think we're
22:34
going back to get revenge in that game.
22:36
We're going to win so. There you go.
22:37
There you go. We're pretty good at that.
22:40
Rachel Cajun says army. Rusty says hello.
22:44
My friends at Tiggs bits. What's up Rusty?
22:47
We're not even being too hard on your balls.
22:49
I'm going to be honest with you like we're just we're kind of
22:51
past them with went past that. But what a what a damn
22:54
disappointment they were. Coming up next, the Birmingham
22:58
Bowl, Georgia Tech versus Vanderbilt real quick.
23:02
We're going to roll through these Blasey.
23:04
Man got dude, the way Georgia Tech looked in that last game,
23:08
right against Georgia. I mean, Dang.
23:10
And they, they, they had a pretty good season for Georgia
23:13
Tech, obviously much better Vanderbilt to the things they've
23:16
done this year, yeah. They fell off towards the the
23:19
second-half of the year, but. I think it could be a great
23:22
game, possibly I think. You could do.
23:24
I mean, that's what I'd like to look at is who who's sitting out
23:27
in both those games and I haven't.
23:28
Looked and that's a look here, here.
23:30
Here's the news folks. I have no idea nor was I going
23:34
to do the research. It's just strictly these are
23:36
going by brand names. That's all that we this is a
23:40
30,000 foot overview with really 0 inside information on anything
23:44
until the last game we talked about.
23:47
And I don't have any inside information on it either, to be
23:49
honest with you moving along. So I'm going to, I'm going to
23:52
take, I'm going to take Georgia Tech in that one based off of
23:56
how well they've been playing. Yeah, that's a great venue.
23:58
If you're in Birmingham, go check it out.
23:59
I went to the Birmingham Bowl last year.
24:01
Phenomenal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:05
It's that it's that pro stadium that they built downtown.
24:08
So UAB uses it and. The Liberty Bowl, usually a fun
24:13
ball game every year, whoever's playing in it, You got Texas
24:17
Tech in Arkansas. Arkansas playing in that one.
24:23
That's another potential fun game.
24:26
But I think I don't, I don't know much about Texas Tech at
24:29
all. I know that Arkansas is probably
24:34
the strongest, like mediocre team in the in the SEC.
24:38
You don't want to play them, You know, it's not an easy win.
24:42
I think Arkansas should have a ton of fans at that game in
24:47
Memphis. So give me Arkansas on that one.
24:51
And we're not talking point spread, just straight up.
24:54
Taking Arkansas on that one, Yeah.
24:56
You know, I'm going to take Texas Tech.
24:58
Guns up, baby, guns up. There you go.
25:01
For no other reason I want to say guns up.
25:04
It's just fun to say it is Brian.
25:09
Brian says he likes Texas Tech in that one.
25:13
Moving on to a game. I don't think anybody cares
25:15
about that's in here. Maybe I'm like, I could be
25:17
wrong. The Holiday Bowl and the only
25:19
reason I say no one cares about the Holiday Bowl is usually
25:22
really good. That's always one of the, that's
25:25
the one that's played in San Diego, San Diego and you usually
25:29
have unbelievable matchups in that or at least high, high
25:34
octane offenses. And Syracuse and Washington
25:38
State though, like that doesn't make me want to watch it unless
25:42
it's tight in the 4th. Yeah, I have no idea.
25:45
Yeah, yeah. I don't know anything about
25:48
either team. No, it looks like we missed a
25:50
good one today, though. Oh.
25:53
No, there was no Right before we went live, there was a game that
25:56
was in overtime. And I think.
25:58
OK. I knew it had gone far.
26:00
They were having to start started going for two.
26:02
What do you think about that rule, Blasey, after, I think
26:05
it's after the second overtime. If I'm right, then you have to
26:10
start going for two or maybe it's after the third overtime.
26:13
And they said we still had a game with eight overtimes this
26:15
year even with that rule, you know, So yeah, it's, it's good
26:21
we got to get both guys off the field at some point, you know?
26:23
Yes, you got to get them off the field that all stem back that
26:25
LSU, Texas A&M game that went to seven or eight and whatever
26:30
overtimes is, you know, high scoring game and and it was
26:33
never going to end. It kind of sucks because like
26:35
neither team, it's like when it gets to that point, there should
26:39
be a draw. You know, at that point it's
26:42
like, okay, that's why they had draws.
26:46
Like no one you can't really like you really feel good about
26:49
winning that one. Nobody people are puking on, you
26:52
know, before a play that everybody's like, what do you
26:55
feel good about that you outlasted them.
26:57
That's what happened. Yeah, I mean, you get you, you
27:01
get down to a draw, you don't say, all right, well, it's one
27:03
more round, you know what I mean?
27:04
Like it's over with, you know what I mean?
27:06
Yeah, At the end of the game it's.
27:08
Kind of we tied, we tied. That's it, That's it, The Cajun
27:12
critic says. He has absolutely no idea what
27:14
we're talking about, but he's here for it and we appreciate
27:16
you. A rare.
27:18
We talk about sports a fairly good bit, but always at a really
27:23
high level. Like we don't really dive into
27:25
it. This is the first sports show.
27:27
Hell, Blasey, is this the first sports show we've done all year?
27:32
Yeah, we have not. We have not.
27:34
We have not done much sports this year.
27:36
That's interesting. Yeah, we didn't have to.
27:40
That's always the bread and butter.
27:41
These are easy shows. Like, I can talk about this
27:43
stuff all night. Trust me.
27:45
Because what background? It's what we're doing, cooking
27:48
and watching sports when we're not doing this, so it's easy,
27:50
it's right there. Is exactly right.
27:53
That's exactly right. Then we come to the last game.
27:55
These are all tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow Texas A&M versus
28:00
USC. So that's I think that's your
28:03
primetime matchup coming from the LVI.
28:07
Give me A&M all day long. I can't believe LSU lost those
28:12
assholes. It knocked us out of the
28:14
playoffs potentially. No offense, Paul, Florida played
28:21
well at the end of the year. We'll get to them.
28:24
No, they've already played. They've already won.
28:26
We won't get to them. So yeah, what a.
28:29
Hell, hold on, hold on, hold on what?
28:31
A hell of a year you got to give to to to Florida and and coach
28:37
Napier for for I mean, the way he turned them around, kept them
28:40
crazy. Turn around mid season.
28:42
Wow. Tip a cap to him.
28:44
That loss at the time was like, Oh my God.
28:48
Oh, wait, we beat USC. We're what?
28:50
A, you know, but Florida playing the way they did, they can.
28:55
I'm glad they they closed it out and finished it strong so that
28:59
loss doesn't feel as bad. But yeah, I think A&M is going
29:02
to. Again, don't know who all's left
29:05
and who's playing full strength, but LSU should have never lost
29:08
to USC and A&M should roll them. I think so too.
29:14
I think A&M jumps all over them but doesn't look back early and
29:19
often. I ain't an SEC loyalist at all.
29:22
Let's go go Trojans. All right, moving on to I guess
29:28
Saturday the 28th. What's today?
29:32
No, Thursday, Friday, Friday, dude, it feels like Monday to
29:37
me. Tomorrow we're going to go down
29:40
these fast Fenway Bowl UConn in North Carolina courts.
29:45
North Carolina, a whole different situation with
29:48
Belichick coming in. Who you got there?
29:52
I'll take North Carolina, but who knows?
29:54
I think this is one of those games need to look at who's
29:56
still hanging around on both of those because that's that's the
29:59
problem. And it really, really started
30:01
happening last year on these bowl games outside of the
30:04
playoff games, dude. I mean, there was so much that
30:07
like Troy goes to the Birmingham Bowl and get there and there
30:10
were so many players not playing after Summerall left and then
30:13
kind of Duke, it was players, it just, it didn't, it didn't feel
30:16
like what it used to feel like when we went to a ball game.
30:18
So I I just, it just depends on the situation.
30:20
So and I don't know that with, but I would think with Belichick
30:22
in there that, you know, the, the vibe would be good, but I
30:26
don't know what's going on with UConn.
30:27
Did UConn lose their coach? I don't even know.
30:29
They lose 36 players of the portal.
30:31
I have no idea. Like like Marshall.
30:34
Yeah, yeah, I'm taking North Carolina in this one for those
30:37
exact reasons. Belichick coming in, I think
30:40
whoever's playing for them, they want to impress the heck out of
30:43
him while they're, you know, we know he's going to be watching.
30:48
You know he's probably going to be there.
30:51
Yeah, Bug is in the house. We need to get Bug back home
30:55
man. We do need to get bug.
30:56
He's got this set up and I've got a I've got a solution for
30:59
him too, I know. Is one of?
31:03
Is one of them what you're talking into?
31:07
No, I bet I've got. I've got.
31:09
I've got another solution though.
31:11
Cuz he has a good mic. Yeah, he doesn't.
31:12
He does. We're good.
31:13
We can use that lightning to that other cord and he can
31:16
rock'n'roll with that audio interface that I have.
31:19
Paul is an SEC loyalist. Except for rivals.
31:23
Yeah, look, I get it. I get it, too.
31:25
At the end of the day, I'm not going to be upset if A&M beats
31:28
USCSECSEC, but I'm also not going to be upset if A&M got
31:33
beat. So are any of these other
31:36
assholes that I don't like, which are most of them, let's
31:42
say the New Mexico Bowl, Louisiana, I will never call
31:48
them that. They're ULLULL versus TCUI, Take
31:53
TCU. Just right off the bat, but ULL
31:57
that's a bit, that's a, that's a big game.
31:59
That's a big Group of Five game right there, Blasey.
32:03
Yeah, giving them raging Cajuns all day long on that game.
32:06
You think they're going to pull that one out?
32:07
They should be at full strength where TCU probably is not.
32:11
Yeah, yeah, I don't don't know. But guessing, I'm just guessing.
32:16
Brian taking taking TCU, Pinstripe Bowl, Boston College
32:23
versus Nebraska. No, Nebraska.
32:25
The black shirts. Yeah, I'm going to take the
32:27
black shirts as well, but BC will probably win.
32:30
I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be at Yankee Stadium.
32:34
Which is cool. It is cool.
32:35
That's super cool. I like that in the Fenway Bowl
32:38
with the North Carolina UConn game is at Fenway Park.
32:42
So. I think those are, I like seeing
32:46
those games. They look different on TV.
32:48
And you know, it's kind of odd, though this time of year can be
32:53
cold here. It kind of could suck.
32:56
I don't know what the weather's supposed to be like.
32:58
They're up there tomorrow. So you got to take that into
33:00
account. You know, we need our friend
33:02
Brian Edwards on here to break this down.
33:06
Even Grok, grok rock. Rock.
33:10
We just said rock, right? Even Rock knows who Brian
33:13
Edwards is because he has one of those little symbols next to his
33:17
name. So I did it today and it's like
33:19
Brian Edwards is a handicapper from.
33:22
Vegas symbol, what are you talking about?
33:24
So I know you had the Pro X and so you have rock and it if at
33:31
the top like where their profile name is on some tweets, not all
33:35
are posts, it will have that little symbol and you can hit
33:39
that and it'll summarize basically what it is.
33:41
It gives references other. Oh, that's pretty cool.
33:45
It is pretty cool. Yeah.
33:46
I've never looked at that feature.
33:47
Paul knows what I'm talking about.
33:49
Guarantee it. Guarantee it.
33:52
Let's see one of my favorite bowls of the season.
33:56
Man, it's just because I can't wait to see what the heck
33:58
they're going to do this year. The Pop Tarts bowl.
34:04
They're fantastic. It is No, they're, you know,
34:06
they're. Going to they got a toaster
34:07
trophy this year. Yes, an actual.
34:10
Yes, a real 1 and like it. Actually, Yes, Toast.
34:14
It's unbelievable. Iowa State and Miami, Miami with
34:19
Cam Ward. So consolation prize, I guess,
34:23
for Miami to play in that. But I mean, that's a fun bowl to
34:26
be in. Wouldn't be upset to be in the
34:28
Pop Tarts bowl. You're going to get a lot of
34:30
good social media engagement for your brand and your school.
34:34
You. Got.
34:38
Who's playing again? Miami and who?
34:40
I'm state. I was state in Miami.
34:43
No, it's a lot of games place. I think what, what, what, what
34:47
is that a cyclone? Miami, but I don't know.
34:48
Who they just cyclones? I was, I was saying, yeah, I
34:52
think they're the cyclones. Yeah, I think the cyclones are
34:54
coming into town. They gonna tear things up.
34:56
There it is. There it is.
34:58
This is this is your most in depth sports show that you're
35:01
gonna get maybe in all of America, maybe no one is doing
35:04
it better than us. Carter Bryant, smoke it on out.
35:07
You can't do this. We got this, our friends, really
35:12
big guys, really, really big guys.
35:15
We're coming for you sports market with our in depth
35:19
analysis. Were they playing again?
35:26
I don't know. What do you know?
35:27
Name me a player on Iowa State's team.
35:29
I can't. I can't do it.
35:31
Name me. Name me an Iowa State player in
35:33
the last decade. Blasey, same answer.
35:37
OK, so there it is. I can name more than one Miami
35:41
person right now. Only Cam Ward.
35:44
He's the only one that's relevant.
35:45
We move along to the Arizona Bowl with.
35:52
Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg Bowl.
35:54
That is, isn't it? It is.
35:56
It is the Snoop Dogg. I don't have my good notes here
35:59
in front of me. There we go.
36:00
Yes. The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl
36:03
presented by Gin and Juice by Dre and Snoop.
36:07
It's a long name. It's a long name.
36:11
Miami of Ohio RedHawks versus the Colorado State Rams.
36:18
I'm going RedHawks. Yeah, give me Red Hawks.
36:22
Why not? Why not?
36:23
Why not take the damn Red Hawks? Brian says that we're doing
36:29
we're doing a lot better than some of these shows.
36:34
Oh, there you go. See, we brought party.
36:38
There you go. It was at Iowa State that there
36:39
you go. Right.
36:41
And that it's probably about the end of the list.
36:45
I could be wrong. Please.
36:46
It's like, you know, the, the notes that I don't have here
36:50
tonight are no notes. Wait.
36:52
And that's what Blasey and I had said today.
36:54
If we're going to do this today, we're going to go in, we're
36:57
going to talk. About notes, I'm looking at ESPN
36:59
bowls. I'm just scrolling down as
37:00
you're going. Yeah, that's what I.
37:02
Did, except I asked ChatGPT. Amber.
37:04
I asked her to give me an outline.
37:06
She's so good. She's so good like this, it's
37:09
unbelievable. Like having a secretary right
37:11
next door. Miami of Ohio.
37:13
I'm taking the Red Hawks. Who'd you say you were taking,
37:16
Blasey? Colorado State versus Miami of
37:18
Ohio. Yeah, I got the Red Hawks.
37:21
OK, OK. Sorry.
37:23
Military Bowl, East Carolina versus NC State.
37:28
Some Carolinas clashing there, Blasey.
37:31
Yes, there is. I like ECU's colors.
37:34
I'll take them. Pirates.
37:35
I'll take them pirates all day long.
37:36
I'm. Going to take the pirates too
37:38
based off the colors and I. Can name a player from East
37:42
Carolina so. Paul don't bring us down right
37:46
now, but yes, he said he used to eat pop tarts all the time.
37:50
I didn't realize how bad they are for you.
37:53
Don't eat. No, don't eat them.
37:55
Just enjoy their amazing content and, you know, boycott them if
38:01
you need to. But yeah, they're terrible for
38:02
you for sure. But God, they're so delicious.
38:05
I'll take some spread a little bit of butter on the top of them
38:07
in the microwave for about 1015 seconds.
38:11
Apparently it became a heated debate on Pat Mcafee's show
38:14
recently with He's like he doesn't understand people who
38:19
don't like their pop tart. Are you a?
38:23
Froster. He doesn't like a pop tart that
38:25
is not frosted. Me either.
38:27
Like you got to be frosted. Yeah, I agree 100%.
38:30
I thought that was a pop tart. That's like a lame tart.
38:32
It's like, I mean, that's garbage.
38:34
And that's why the Pop Tart won, because they came in with the
38:37
frosting. 100% they hit. They win because the frosting's
38:41
what took the pop tart to the next level.
38:44
Whenever they were in the whenever the first pop tart came
38:47
out. Don't know when that was, but
38:48
let's say it was at the civil war.
38:50
I doubt it was then, but if it's in in there and those guys are,
38:54
it was probably the Thirties, 30s or 40s.
38:57
You're in the pop tart and you get one out.
38:59
I don't care if you're in the middle of battle and you've just
39:02
got a plain old pop tart with a little filling.
39:05
Your guy next to you has that pop tart and it has some icing
39:08
on top of it. He's eating in style.
39:11
You're over there and you might as well be eating the dirt.
39:14
Yeah, that's what took Pop Tarts to the next level.
39:16
They really just smoked the competition in a prepared
39:19
breakfast item that you don't have to do anything to really
39:22
other than throw it in a toaster and just watch out.
39:24
That's right, but not necessary. That's right.
39:27
That's right. So, you know, just another good
39:30
point. This is why Pop Tarts bought the
39:33
brand to do that bowl. It's for little moments like
39:35
this. It's going to happen on lots of
39:37
podcasts and conversations and everything across America.
39:41
Moving on. We're getting down to it.
39:43
There's about six or seven games left here.
39:46
The Alamo Bowl, BYU versus Colorado.
39:52
Oh yeah. That's a good game.
39:54
That's a real good game. Shoot, yeah, I'll take Colorado,
40:00
man. And that one too.
40:01
I'm. Going, I'm assuming Travis
40:04
Hunter's playing, Mr. Sanders is playing.
40:08
I'm going to take Colorado in that one.
40:10
Don't know what the spread is, but I like kind of like Colorado
40:13
big, honestly. I mean, BYU is no slouch and and
40:18
I've seen them play a little bit this year, then they're they're
40:20
a national brand, if you will. Yeah.
40:23
And not, not been bad, but I think Colorado will take care of
40:27
a business there. Are you?
40:28
17 in the country at 10 and two versus Colorado.
40:31
There we go. Yeah.
40:33
They're usually good. Yeah, they're good.
40:35
I didn't know what the record was.
40:36
Yeah. Yeah, all.
40:37
Right. I mean, that's it.
40:38
That's a good bowl game. Is it good for good for San
40:40
Antonio, good for San Antonio, Really good.
40:43
And then that takes us to Louisiana, one of two premier
40:46
matchups in the date in the next week.
40:51
The first one coming from the legendary Independence Bowl,
40:56
what used to be the pool and weed Eater Bowl, but now the in
41:01
the pool and weed Eater Independence Bowl.
41:03
I don't know. Is that in Shreveport?
41:05
That's in Shreveport. Yep.
41:06
At the fairgrounds. Louisiana Tech bugs, Bulldogs
41:13
versus Army and what I think could be a stellar game.
41:19
Yeah, no, absolutely. It will be.
41:23
So Latech got in because of Marshall didn't have enough
41:25
players to play right. Yeah, because I think they
41:28
finished five and seven and gave Latech an opening to get in.
41:31
I. Think I don't even know but.
41:33
Yeah, I think that's how they got in because Marshall has 36
41:35
of their players were gone. But but yeah, I'll take you know
41:39
what, Latex, I think they're going to take advantage of it.
41:42
And I think Latech comes in there and gets it done.
41:45
Good friend of mine, he still may hold the record there.
41:48
Willie O'Shea for the most catches in that game.
41:52
I forgot how many he had in that game, but absolutely tore it up.
41:55
This is in the 90s or whatever. So I think he holds the record
41:57
there for the most catches in a game.
41:59
Wow, there you go. There you go.
42:01
I'm going to take Army. I'm going to take Army in that
42:05
one, no? Offense, they're definitely the
42:06
we can a tech friends, they're they're the favorite.
42:09
I think Latex takes advantage of the opening and gets there and
42:12
gets. Done an intriguing game though,
42:14
something to watch that every single game that we've talked
42:18
about, all of them, Blasey, every game that we have talked
42:21
about besides the playoffs, all of these games are are
42:25
intriguing to me in some form or fashion.
42:27
I I could I could find a reason to watch it.
42:31
You know what I mean? Moving along to December the
42:37
30th, we have. The only game on that day it
42:40
looks like is the Music City Bowl in Nashville with Iowa and
42:47
Missouri. Oh man, Gimme Missouri.
42:51
Yeah, Gimme Missouri. Yeah, Mizzou, Mizzou.
42:54
Yeah, again with Iowa, though, I was always strong.
42:58
It's like they always seem to win bowl games, Iowa, like they
43:02
beat LSU and one time we beat them too, but they show up in
43:07
bowl games. I guarantee you they don't have
43:10
12 or 15 people holding out at Iowa.
43:12
I guarantee you they're coming in full stat.
43:14
That's true. That's true.
43:16
I agree with that. I agree with that.
43:18
And Missouri, probably not. Missouri probably got poached
43:20
for some of the players because they've had some really good
43:23
skill players over the last, you know, a handful of years for
43:26
sure. All right now we're moving on
43:29
into and we'll finish with the playoffs.
43:32
We'll run through the playoffs real quick.
43:34
I don't think we gave a prediction on those games.
43:37
December 31st, New Year's Eve. You've got the Relia Quest Bowl,
43:43
Alabama versus Michigan. Two big brands playing right
43:48
there for sure. I'll take Bama.
43:52
You going to take Bama? You going to take Bama?
43:54
I don't know. Again, I don't know who's
43:56
sitting out. I know that Bama's lost some
43:58
transfer folks. I know for sure.
44:00
I'm, I'm sure Michigan has too. But I think Michigan is the if
44:04
I'm looking at which program is moving in the right direction
44:07
right now, and I think Michigan's moving in a better
44:11
direction than Alabama is, that could be partly wishful
44:14
thinking. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
44:18
I don't know. I don't know, but I'm going to
44:20
take Michigan. I'm going to take Michigan in
44:23
that one. I think that could be a good
44:24
ball game. That could be fun.
44:26
I think it should be a good game, yeah.
44:27
Yeah, the Sun Bowl. The Sun Bowl always is a good
44:31
game, or usually is a good game. It's always has been.
44:35
And you have Louisville and Washington playing in that one.
44:40
8 and 4 versus 6 and six. Louisville.
44:42
Give me Louisville all day long. Yeah, I think Louisville's going
44:45
to win that one as well. I like Louisville a lot.
44:49
And yeah, actually that's kind of not as good of a match.
44:53
That's probably one of the poor matches that we've discussed.
44:56
Yeah, honestly, this one maybe too.
45:00
Citrus Bowl, you have South Carolina versus Illinois.
45:07
Oh man, yeah, give me South Carolina.
45:10
Yeah, I'm going to take South Carolina too.
45:12
I I just think, I think they should have been the playoff,
45:16
honestly, you know, based off of some others said they have
45:19
arguments against it. I get all of that stuff.
45:21
We're not going to hash all of that out.
45:23
It's been it's been hashed out. But they are, they're a team
45:27
that can beat anybody in in America on any day.
45:31
And they have that, especially with that defensive line that
45:33
they have. So give me South Carolina.
45:37
And then it brings us to the last of the non sequential
45:42
whatever the irrelevant bowls, the toilet bowls, the nut bowls,
45:46
no one really cares about except for the fans.
45:50
The Texas bowl, Baylor versus LSU.
45:56
Who? Oh, LSU.
45:59
You know. Yeah, Yeah.
46:01
Those guys, those guys. Yeah, I think LS US got 12 folks
46:05
that are sitting out. I can tell you the situation of
46:08
our team, 12 guys that are sitting out, a lot of guys that
46:11
are playing including most of the starting offense.
46:15
So you're going to have fairly full, full steam.
46:22
I don't know as much with Baylor, of course, great mind
46:27
over there with their head coach.
46:30
Yeah, 1 is a. National championship, whatever,
46:35
that's where we're at in the show.
46:37
But but give me the Tigers, give me the Tigers.
46:40
I think LSU's going to I think LSU's done well in the transfer
46:45
portal this offseason for sure. They're plugging some holes.
46:48
I think they're, they were, you know, they're, they're two
46:51
losses away, 2 winnable games that they they could have, would
46:54
have, should have one. So I think they're right on the
46:57
verge. They are on the verge of being a
46:59
playoff team this year. I think they'll cross over next
47:04
year. They've they've got some some
47:06
defensive defensive help coming in.
47:09
We'll see how it all pans out. But I've been pleased with
47:12
what's been going on there. And it seems as if they want to
47:16
win these this group of kids, they're they're going to be
47:18
embarrassed to get beat whoever they got to whoever they got.
47:21
But I I think they're going to play well.
47:24
I think they're probably going to play their best game of the
47:26
year. If I were a betting man and
47:28
occasionally I am, I would take the Tigers and I have.
47:30
So there you go. Now let's run back Lacey to the
47:37
to the final, to the playoff games, and we'll close this
47:43
sucker out the 31st the Fiesta Bowl, Penn State versus Boise
47:51
State. Yeah, I'll be honest with you
47:58
here. I think your pick will be
47:59
opposite of mine. I know Penn State looked really
48:01
good in that last game and they did, they look great.
48:03
But oh, you get Boise State, they've got this time off.
48:07
They're they're, they're healing up.
48:08
They've had some time to get ready for this game.
48:10
That's a really good football team, man.
48:13
I mean, that run game of theirs. So you put, you know, 8-9 people
48:17
in the box and you still can't stop him.
48:18
So dude, I'm going to go with Boise giving him Broncos, all
48:22
right? I mean, I look, honestly, I hope
48:25
they win. I I'm pulling for Boise.
48:28
I hope Boise does win that game. Penn State did look good.
48:33
And the thing that concerns me for a Boise is they've had how
48:38
long have they been off? They have been been off.
48:41
That's right. They've been off for almost a
48:43
month, you know, three weeks at least.
48:47
Penn State just played. They took a week, you know, they
48:50
had a little break, then they played.
48:52
I mean, I, I that factors into it for me and that is why I'm
48:56
taking Penn State. But I think that it's going to
48:59
be I think it's going to be a close game.
49:02
I think if Boise State plays like they are capable of playing
49:05
and they they come out and they're executing, they're not
49:08
dropping balls. They're they're then I
49:11
completely. Think and the best running back
49:13
in the country, they've got he's fresh legs come in, they're
49:15
feeling really rested. I just I'll take that.
49:18
I bet I wouldn't make a prediction.
49:19
I think he absolutely shows out. He rushes for over 200 yards.
49:22
As well. Oh, wow.
49:23
Oh, wow. And look, Boise in the Fiesta
49:26
Bowl has always gone together. They've done some big things and
49:29
that and that match match up. And so, you know, they beat
49:32
Oklahoma the first time that really put them, put them into
49:36
the, into the national spotlight.
49:38
And they, yeah, really, they haven't left since then.
49:41
They're they're, they're wanting to be in there yet.
49:43
Great program up there. Great program.
49:45
Yeah, sure. Terribly ugly field, but great
49:48
program. I agree.
49:51
Then on January 1st, on New Year's Day, you've got the Peach
49:56
Bowl and that is that's at 1:00 PM on ESPN, you've got Texas
50:01
versus Arizona State. I think that's a double digit.
50:04
I think they're like 12 point favorite, something like that.
50:07
As they should be Who? Texas is I mean, give me Texas,
50:10
Texas, yeah, that's that's just like this is where the buys like
50:16
the automatic buys come in. It's not a big fan there on that
50:21
with them. Now, I think that the Big 10
50:24
does get a number one, you know, you know, and you've got the
50:27
Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all.
50:29
And I love how it comes down to the tradition here, though.
50:33
Who would have predicted it that it is Ohio State and Oregon,
50:37
your pack, old former PAC 12 versus Big 10, your traditional
50:42
kind of matchup. Who've gotten that one?
50:46
Man, you know, a week ago I would have just said Oregon
50:49
going away with that, but after the way Ohio State responded and
50:52
Ryan Day and that whole situation kind of debacle that
50:55
was starting up there, kind of weird, you know, all the crap he
50:57
was catching. Dude, they they look really,
51:01
really, really good now. Are they as good as as they
51:03
looked in that game? Probably not because they play
51:05
the whole season. You see them, they're not bad at
51:07
all. They're not bad, but they're
51:09
good football team. I just think Oregon's just
51:11
firing on all cylinders, man. They, they're just going to,
51:14
they're, they're hard to beat. So give me Oregon still I'll,
51:16
I'll still take Oregon. I think it's a close one.
51:18
I think it's a close 1A, real close one.
51:19
Yeah, I mean, I think I'm, I think I'm gonna ride with you on
51:23
that one, Blasey. I just, I, I'm just not
51:27
convinced that that secondary of of Ohio State's can really can
51:31
stop that deal, you know what I mean?
51:33
And we'll see, but I think that's going to be a high
51:36
scoring ball game, like a 3831 kind of game.
51:40
You know who? Knows and keep your eye on that
51:42
little test Johnson, the Troy Trojan receiver from a few years
51:46
ago that's now showing out the number one receiver there at
51:49
Oregon. That's right, guy that can
51:51
absolutely get open and make big plays.
51:54
We got to give a brief shout out on our last show of the year
51:58
here. Blasey, ladies and gentlemen.
52:01
Without any further ado, Mr. John.
52:13
Yes Sir, lungs are good. John Lungs.
52:17
Are good. That's always the test.
52:19
You handle most of that. I didn't have my bullhorn.
52:23
I was using it the other night to fend off these predators that
52:26
were coming around my house. You still got sniped, but anyway
52:29
did. You.
52:30
Golly, I'm prepared. Go to video.
52:32
Water hoses and bushes. I had everything ready.
52:35
They beat me to the punch. I was sitting on the couch in
52:38
mind. I didn't get notifications from
52:40
my cameras. They came in, they sniped me
52:41
man. And all of a sudden on the door,
52:44
I'm like, God Dang it. And it was over with then, you
52:47
know, it's too late, too late. Yeah, the damage was done, guys.
52:51
He had built this up. Let Jr. and I know that, you
52:54
know, he had been all, he was going to be sniping.
52:56
This wasn't going to be happening and blah, blah, blah.
52:58
He was. Going to roll my yard every
53:00
year. Cameras.
53:00
Set up, cameras set up for all of this.
53:03
We're going to get all of this good kind.
53:04
Firecrackers made water hose is set in strategic position so I
53:09
could sit in a chair and spray them like I was going to.
53:12
Absolutely destroy them and they still got me.
53:15
Oh well. Oh.
53:16
Well, it's like the seventh year in a row.
53:18
As Paul Harvey says, and here is the rest of the story.
53:22
So now y'all got to hear it. Got to hear it too.
53:26
I understand Murphy Laird was in on that.
53:28
So I did get I got a call the next day from his dad waving the
53:33
white flag. No, please hold on, hold on.
53:36
Truce here. I did not tell my son was there.
53:38
Could you imitate how House said this please?
53:40
Oh, yeah. Hey, man, listen, Hey, listen.
53:42
I'm going to tell you right now. I didn't have nothing to do with
53:44
that. I came in and I told him.
53:45
I tell you what, y'all don't send people to this house.
53:48
Why the Hell's Murphy in there? Why?
53:49
Why Murphy now? Now he's going to be able to
53:52
roll the my house with what's going to happen next.
53:54
You you see what you've done here?
53:56
You see what you've done? Yeah.
53:58
So he was all worried. And I was going to come.
54:00
I was going to come after him. Don't worry, Hal, you won't know
54:03
I'm coming when I'm coming. That's exactly right.
54:08
This ain't over, I assure you that.
54:11
All right, let's wrap this one up though.
54:13
Blasey, who you got? I think it is probably the game
54:16
of the the deal, which I wouldn't have thought this would
54:19
be the the case a couple weeks ago.
54:21
You got the Georgia Bulldogs versus the Notre Dame Fighting
54:26
Irish coming in and who looked good against Indiana and
54:32
Indiana, team that had played well all season and didn't the
54:35
last two. But who you got?
54:38
Man, I mean, I'll be honest with you.
54:41
It's all about that quarterback play for Georgia, like for
54:44
Georgia, I should say, right? So what's the backup going to
54:46
do? Beck's out for the year.
54:48
He's having surgery. So now you've got the backup.
54:51
He may be better. He may be better because I want
54:53
to look. Better in the second-half.
54:55
Of the SEC championship but maybe like he's coming out party
54:58
but that team overall still tip to tail balanced out.
55:01
You give Kirby Smart that much time preparation, Like, dude, I
55:06
just got to roll with George until somebody proves me
55:08
otherwise in that game, you know?
55:10
Yeah, I am. The same way the big black train
55:14
is coming down the tracks. Whatever McAfee says, Yeah,
55:18
they're they're coming. And yeah, it reminds me of a
55:23
Matt Mock kind of situation for LSU.
55:26
You know, you had your your star quarterback go down.
55:29
Matt Mock comes in and just annihilates and does amazing
55:34
things and goes on and wins the national championship.
55:37
So I think that that is what you're going to kind of, kind of
55:41
get out of Georgia, I mean, near Georgia until you beat them.
55:46
You got to prove it to me. I'm taking them.
55:48
Dogs all day them dogs, baby. Give me them dogs and I'm far
55:54
and I am far over in Notre Dame for damn sure.
55:59
Well, that's it. That is it with all of the bowl
56:03
games and that that's that's going to we're going to put a
56:05
little bow on 2024. Blasey, do you have any final
56:11
thoughts before we depart? No, but I'll tell you what, if
56:15
Georgia makes it to the national championship game, I've been, if
56:19
that were to happen, I've been told our friend Bowser is going
56:23
to be going to that game and I'm going to be sending him mics.
56:27
He's going to get some content for us.
56:28
So it's already agreed to. He's asked for the mics.
56:31
I've got those extra mics that I got, these little guys that
56:34
these are my originals. That's the ones I'm using or
56:36
not. This little thing is this is all
56:37
I'm using right here, which is in here anyway, great little
56:40
mic, but I'm going to give him some mic.
56:43
He was over here last night. We were playing spades until
56:45
like 1:00 in the morning. I hadn't played spades in 20
56:48
years. But so no, he's going to take
56:50
that and get some content for so kind of, you know, I'm not a
56:54
giant Georgia dogs, Bulldogs fan overall.
56:56
I'm kind of roofing them dogs just for I won't Bowser to go
56:59
and get us some content. So go dog.
57:01
I did too. That's reason enough for me to
57:04
to pull for them and look at my interactions with Georgia fans
57:08
over the years. They're awesome.
57:10
They come to LSU, they take over.
57:12
They don't take over. It's hard to take over Baton
57:15
Rouge, but they take over as close as anybody can.
57:19
They're kind of, I've always called them, they're the redneck
57:21
version of the of LSU, you know? So being divided and we didn't
57:26
play each other a lot. It was always fun.
57:28
It's just a big party anytime that we, anytime LSU and Georgia
57:32
plays, typically pretty big game is going on that day, you know,
57:37
'cause either it's a home and home or a lot of times it was in
57:40
the SEC Championship. So always good, always good.
57:45
Brian, have a happy new year. Tigs and Blasey says to us, have
57:50
a happy new year to you as well as to all of you guys.
57:54

58:09
