  Speaker 1: College football fans, Welcome back to the College Ball Show.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: He's Marshall, I'm Chris, and we're here to break down
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Week one. It's almost officially in the books as we record,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: TCU and u NC still has to play, but for
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the most part, Week one is basically in the books.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Ohio State in Texas grind it out, big ten style game.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The Buckeyes got it done. You know, we can't just
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hand over the Heisman Trophy to people before they've even
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: started a legit game on the road. You know, Arch,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: everybody was high on Arch. Let's pump the brakes a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: little bit. Let's pump the brakes a little bit. LSU
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: gets a big win at quote unquote Death Valley. It
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't looking too deadly that night. It actually was looking late,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but it didn't turn out to be. And then another
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: rank versus ranked old school rivalry Miami in Notre Dame,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and of course Florida State. Florida State upsets Bama. They're
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like thirteen and a half point dogs, and they I mean,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: sure it got to what a touchdown? But then they said,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna extend this thing again.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So that was a shocker.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Not that you know, I thought Florida State could have
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a winning program this year. Whether that meant seven, eight,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: nine wins, I don't know. You know, I wouldn't have
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: picked them nine to three, that's for sure. But I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: would have counted this game that happened on Saturday, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: would have counted that as an l and that was
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: not the case. We did have some interesting matchups in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the Big ten Mac Challenge. We didn't know there was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a Big ten Mac challenge now and the non conference
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: there tends to be a Big ten MAC and it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was pretty good South Florida all of a sudden, Florida
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in Miami, any of Florida. They got an interesting game
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: here with Central Florida. With it with South Florida because
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they beat up Boise State. Nebraska snuck by Sincy. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: good Friday night competitive games too with Georgia Tech in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Colorado and Auburn and Baylor.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Actually Auburn pretty.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Much handled business in that case. State survives. We're gonna
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we're gonna recap it all and then we're gonna of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: course preview.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And predict week two.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we only got one versus one ranking as of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: right now. I guess you know, we will find out
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: tomorrow because of the Labor Day poll coming out a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: day later. Michigan at Oklahoma. That's a big game, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of games flying under the radar. Iowa,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, Illinois at Duke Baylor in a must win
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: at SMU, Kansas at MISSOO Vandy and VA te that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at vo Tech.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: If vo Tech can.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Find any you know, resemblance of an offense, they could
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be pretty good the ACC. You know, I got a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: lot of stick for asking the question that we didn't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: actually ultimately answer. Could the ACC get two teams in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the playoffs again? Because we know they did get at
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Clemson and SMU, But all of a sudden two out
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the ACC doesn't really seem all that strange. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we got to get there, right. We're only week one,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so we'll look at some I got some against the spreads.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I think three or four of them that I'm kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of eyeballing. Is there going to be any major where
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: will that major upsets be or even whatever six to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: eight point upsets because we definitely got them in week one.
• 3:47

• 3:49

• 4:55
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and bring in my co host Marshall Man. Almighty.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We had ourselves a very very interesting opening weekend. A
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: lot of narratives were out there, and then you got
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to play the game. Bama found that out. You know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: even I with all the talent, many of people thought, man,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they got a lot of returning talent. If they can
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: get that quarterback to work, they could be dangerous. They
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: should be considered a contender. Well, they found out the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: hard way, as did Clemson, who still can't beat like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a high level ranked team. Would they beat SMU last
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: year or something like that. And then Kelly gets off
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the schneid in the openers. First of all, how you doing, Marshall.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I know you're moving, so you're a busy man. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we had a hell of an opening weekend.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Man, yes we did. I can't wait for the rest
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: of college football season because I'm not moving for a year,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: probably actually moving up to where you live. So but
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I'll be prepared for that. Man, moveing to grind. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: we're here, Like you said, we had a great week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: One actually was talking to some people when I was
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: watching that Ohio State Texas game. And you know, even
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: next year again we'll get the same thing where it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: uh Texas host in Ohio State. So I'm nice to
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: have this home and homes and I'll probably have a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: pretty nice week. Want to get next year but for now, Hey,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: it was It was a fun weekend. The scores were
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you know, like I literally was bouncing around, driving around
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: for a little bit with moving and stuff. And when
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: my buddies text me, I say, what score the Bama game?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I go twenty four ten. I'm like, okay, cool. Then
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'll get back to watching it, you know, just kind
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: of bounce around. And I would have lost a lot
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: of money, Chris if you said, oh, twenty four to ten.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: If wait what you know, that was definitely not supposed
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to happen, Like I was telling you for the show,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and I told a coworker though, and I was so
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: out of it that I literally thought that it was
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: two years ago. They had a bad year and last
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: year was bad.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: What a what a.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Huge win for Mike Norvell. That dude's had a really
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: weird time at that school, Chris, because you come down
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: there from Memphis, which was a good program he build up. Yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and then you literally are a quarterback injury away from
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: going to the Natty and you kind of have to,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you know, be a martyr, and then you have one
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: of the worst seasons ever. And now it started the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: year off with beating Bama. So it's really kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: been a soap opera s waste since Norvell has been
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: down there. Like, I'm sure I can't imagine how it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: money Vegas made this weekend because the whole world shifted
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the bets on Texas, and I'm sure at least half
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the world bet Bama. So you know, Vegas economy has
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: been down there outpricing the regular blue collar people like us.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: They enjoy that city. It's getting out of hand. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Vegas got lucky this weekend, man, because the amount of money.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure they wont Onbama losing, but that in Texas. Man,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: that I even saw an ESPN article and they only
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: don't post articles like that, Chris, you know, but said
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: line movement going crazy on Texas. What a What a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: good weekend for Vegas unfortunately for the regular people like us,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: And like you said, a really fun week one to
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: get us going, man.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's early. You can't count Texas out
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: by any stretch, as we know, but you know, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have plenty of games to prove it here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But it feels about right. I mean, they gotta make it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They gotta be making Vegas some money on that arch
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Manning bets too. Yes, because I noticed the you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks before the season, it felt
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: like it kept shrinking and shrinking, and it's like wow,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: like you know, the favorite. It's kind of interesting because
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I knew the favorite generally doesn't win it. But when
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: they threw that stat up with Lineard that's from two
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: thousand and four, is the last time it happened where
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the betting favorite, I was like, WHOA. I knew it
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was a while ago, but I didn't know it was,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know, over twenty years ago. And in Heisman can
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be you know, overrated. As we know, we've seen quarterbacks
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: have to turn to wide receivers and not make it
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in the league. Sure, you know, so yeah, that's pretty crazy,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but we're definitely gonna get there. Like I said, it
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: was more of a blue, blue collar Big ten type
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: smash mouth game, even though neither could really sustain a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: running game because.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Of the defenses. But back to that Florida State.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Bama game, man, neither of them all that good on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: third down, and this is kind of you know, early on,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: usually defenses are ahead of offenses, whether you're talking about
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: training camp in the NFL, whether you're talking about fall camp,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they call it the fall camp training camp in college
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: fall camp, which I never really understood because it's August.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But anyway, but I've noticed that it will get to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the other games, of course, but the Texas in general,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like neither team great on third down, but then when
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you look at the fourth down, that's where it kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of shows two and two for Florida State and two
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of five on fourth down. But the big one, the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: huge one. I mean, when you throw forty three times
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to get two hundred and fifty four yards isn't actually
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: all that great, right, but two hundred and thirty yards rushing,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and that's on forty nine attempts. So forty nine attempts is.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: A lot, especially this day and age.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And still to have four point seven a clip with
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: just one turnover it was a fumble, I believe, you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the quarterback was talking shit in the off season Costellanos
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and hey, Tommy came through just enough, you know with
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the run pass vibe, but they couldn't stop the run.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: In some of those highlights that like that that touchdown
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: highlight with the guys running on the left side, there's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like two lineback that are barely running at him. I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: mean it, it was ugly, dude. It looked like they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: hadn't had a scrimmage yet and hadn't started tackling yet.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was bad.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: To give up that kind of yardage, you know, because,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like you said, it's nine, Florida State was just gonna
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: come out and average two hundred and twenty yards a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: game or something like that. Now, maybe they will, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that they could just not stop the run.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And even when they did get it to twenty four
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to seventeen or whatever, Florida State answered like, nope, we're
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: still gonna win this game. And you know, Danny Canell
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: did did say, hey, you know what, I've given a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people shit for storming the field and then
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Florida State starting the field is like, I get it now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: my apology. So that was pretty good. Yeah, so that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was pretty so, I guess once again when it comes
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to his Florida State because remember his last rant like
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: college football is not the way it used to be,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, from two years ago. But then he
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was okay with his or to stay team two separate
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: times getting in when they probably shouldn't have, but that's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: neither here or there. I'll leave Danny alone. I gotta
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: give him credit. He did.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, you hate your quota. You give me shit from
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: talking about Lane Kiff and you're you're always poking to
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Dan Canel. We're about on part with both those guys, honestly.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Honestly, no, we're not. You mentioned it every damn week,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But that's fair, especially two years ago. Two years ago,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it probably was a lot closer, too long part, but
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: just running smash mouth like I didn't see that coming, man,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I really didn't see.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: That, you know, And that's the sign. And I hate
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: this guy's name, but I'll say now because it comes
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: to mind, I got give him respect for the coach
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: he was of urban Meyer and Saban, Like, if you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: look at what those two guys did, it always was
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: D line, old line. And yes, that's not gonna get
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: you the the ESPN flashing highlights, but like the d
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: lions that Myers Meyer had were insane. And if you
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: look at Alabama, either offensive line or D line, Chris,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: it's almost every year there's a Bama O line D
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: line guy going pro or maybe there's a year off
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: because those guys are now juniors and then seniors, Like
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: there's something about in the trenches that obviously, if you're
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: a football guy, you know that's true. And I can't
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: name you Alabama lineman like off top of my head,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: but those are the guys that win you the games
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: consistently because they make the quarterback who everyone does know
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: their name, a living hell. Or you protect your quarterbacks
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: so he doesn't get a grass stand on his jersey,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: like that's always been the mo. And like you said,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: to see Florida State rush for two thirty and Bama
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: get under one hundred yards rushing because that was the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: oir thing. And speaking of oh the perfect analogy. Until
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: my guy Lane Kiffin arrived in Tuscaloosa, Bama was a
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: hey ground and pound the ball forty times the game,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Travis Henry, etc. We're gonna run the ball t you
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: can't move anymore. And that's what Saban did to win titles.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: So obviously, I'm sure the Bama line is is gonna
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: be great this year. I'm sure they will have all
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: pros on both sides. But for Game one, as we
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: were staying for the show Man, the board's in a
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: hard spot because the guy just mentioned named Nick Saban, Like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: you know, you're it's it's obviously a great job to take.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Neither you or I would pass it up if we
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: were offered it in his situation. But you really are
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a situation where even if Bama next year goes undefeated
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: and beats LS you in the national title like thirty
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to zero, will he ever get the praise from like
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the true Diehardbama fans or even most of the people
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: in the country, in the state because dude, well, okay,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you got one now for us. Like, I think he's
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: a good coach. I think will get squared away. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: don't think that, you know, I'm not a Bama fan,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: so I don't think I would say, like, we gotta
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: fire him. But I'm sure the bolts.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's like sixty.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Such, yeah, fire him this year.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But but I just think that he's in it. He's
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: in a to just from a sports stample for a
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: podcast show, he's in a tough spot because he's never
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: gonna live up to what Saban did, and so the
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: praise that a coach would get normally in his situation
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: for wins is minimal, and the ship he gets for
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a loss is ten times worse, you know. I mean,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I know he knew that taking the job in. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the Tuscaloosi message boards were and Twitter were
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: hot on Saturday afternoon because that was not what we
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: expected before the But when we did Lasu's podcast, I said, well,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: we got Texas Ohio State at eleven and LSU Clemson
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: at seven, and then we had the bad one in between,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: which a couple of years ago is probably gonna be
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: a pretty fun game. I guess I apologize, Chris. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: overlooked that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear that, man, And you know, you never
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: want to take over for a legend. That is tough.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But also you can't stockpile anymore, you know, so true,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and so it's hard to even win one right now
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: because the stockpiling that at Bama and many schools, well
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: maybe not many, but several schools used to be able
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to do it. And so that's just the pressure right there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And so it is harder to win a national championship
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: as far or sustain it for like win two out
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: of three or back to back. It's very hard, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you could also make it. I don't know, it's weird
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: because it seems harder now because it's more a deep
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of a field and you gotta win multiple games. So
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in that sense, the end of the year can be
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: more difficult. But you know, the stockpile, the depth, the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: retooling instead of rebuilding. I think there's some programs that
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: can still do that. Obviously a reload, but yeah, it's tough.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: In the biggest thing about it, Marshall, some of these games.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: In the big, big games, like the Georgia game or whatever.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Sure that you know, Georgia had a big comeback, but
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they ended up falling short in that game. But it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: losing these double digit fits as a favorite, double digits,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's inaccessible. I just can't believe that's happening.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to have the record he did and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: does have, but to do that, you know, Vanny, they'll
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: sneak up on you. But the Oklahoma team was you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: not good at the end of the year last year.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: They were depleted on offense. And that that's the biggest
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: surprise to me, is just like you could say, all
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the you know, the SEC stronger than the Pac twelve.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: So week in and week out, it's stuff for to coach. Yeah, sure,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: but this is an ACC team, so it's not even
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, Orida State has it right. You
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: can compare them to the SEC and as of right now,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you know you're talking about I don't really know alignment
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: off hand. I know one that went to Iowa for
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: like a couple of spring practices. I don't know if
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: he wanted to work on the farm in the summer
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to work out or something, but then he came right
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: back and he didn't even he didn't even play for Iowa.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I'm in a transfer.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: That felt kind of bad for them, but yeah, we'll see. Man.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: You know, we can't count teams out.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: As we know Ohio State last year, but or even
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame making it all the way to the conference
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: final or I mean the championship, I should say, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: national title after losing a game that you're shocked that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they lost. The marquee matchups, there was a few of them,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but the big one here Ohio State hosting the Texas
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Longhorns and kind of like what I was saying about,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, neither team Texas five or fourteen on third down,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ohio State even worse, really three of twelve, but they
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: only had to have one or they were one of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: two I should say they only had to go on
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: fourth down twice, whereas Texas was one of five on
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: fourth down. And to get not only in the red zone,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but like at the like that two or one yard
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: line and like the six, Like they were right inside
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the ten twice and did not come up with points.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It's just a killer. They were able to get the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: run game going at times. I mean, thirty seven carries
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a buck sixty six to four point five. But when
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: push come to shove, even though the you know, the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Penn State made knowles and offered, you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: they couldn't refuse. They still have talent and now they
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: have a new defensive coordinator that people were talking so,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you know, eleven first downs, Ohio State has plenty of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: stuff to work on offensively. But you know, the story
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: coming in it was Arch and how much shit the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: former quarterback got last year. And some of us are like,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: well just just hang on, dude, and we even talked
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: about it last week. It's just like you can't hand
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: over a heisman and we'll see. You know, that first
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: pass from Arch is like that dude was wide, like
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: he was missing those he was sidearm and stuff. He
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: was I don't know. He just didn't look comfortable. And
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that's also not to take him.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Completely out either.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are already saying, oh, he's he's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a bust, he's overrated, he sucks and all that. But
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it was a rough one for him, and it's not
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: an easy place to play. But I was wrong. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: did think Texas was gonna win, and that Ohio State
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: defense looked real nasty, and the offense just made enough
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: plays to win the game, but they weren't overly impressive.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Both defenses really stood up.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I think kind of a common theme, especially with this
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: game and parts of that Clemson game and last night
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: with Miami Notre Dame, is that it's really hard to
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: be a good quarterback. Because he even like the NFL,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: but there's probably like twelve legit quarterbacks in the NFL
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: every year. In college football like this year, it's hard
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: to be really good at that position. And to see
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the score of Texas Ohio State be fourteen to seven,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: that that's just the dude, sh It's not easy. And
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it's probably because I live in Texas in the Dallas area,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: so of course I was here in like Longhorned talk
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: all week. One of the guys I work with at school,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: he actually played at UT So I can't. I can't
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: stay too much shit the end. He's a good dude,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: but you know, it's like arch Man, arch Man, here
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: we go, here we go. But it's like, and then
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I heard on the a couple of different sport podcasts, well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you know, Ohio State had fifteen guys leave last year
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: that were going pro. We graduated. But it's like, man,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: y'all got to calm.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Down a little bit, like like thirteen anyway or something
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I too. So I think it was
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: a combination of people going cucko for Coke, Puf's crazy
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: and Ben and Ben Texas in Vegas, which they hey,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: that's all Vegas cashed in there, and then living down here.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: But it's like, dude, yeah, I in the back of
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: my mind, I didn't bet the game because I wasn't
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: quite sure. But I was like, there's no way even
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: in Texas supposed to win. You're not gonna walk in
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: on the road and beat a team in that stadium.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Like it almost the medium narrative, man, you know, yes, true,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: that's pretty good. That's pretty good. But the meeting narratives
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: like oh, they're just gonna walk in there and they
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: got this. It's like, dude, Ohio State's a pretty proud program.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: They both are. But to see to see if Texas
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: only scored touchdown the fourth coordinator the end of the game,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: like man like, dude, again, it's hard being a quarterback.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: And then obviously you go one for five on fourth downs.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Again the line of scrimmage. Texas's I'm not saying their
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: old line was like, you know, like bad, but you
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: know a lot of times those fourth down plays, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage one wins it for you, you know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: and it just kind.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Of zoneues last year, yes, them well and speed of that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I was talking to the people and I was watching
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: that game and they're like, all right, well is this
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: an Arch's year? And you know, you were all this stuff,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: But I pose the question, I said, guys, do you
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: really think that, like if Arch Manning was the answer
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: last year?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Starting to starting to.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Put him in, you know, and like, yes, the dude's
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: got the last name and all that stuff, but if
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: he was a legit stud QB, you don't get the
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: you don't get the hometown discount, the seniority applause, all
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: that crap. Well, you know whatever, Like, dude, if you're better,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: you're gonna play. And he did. He you were, And
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying yours is gonna be And maybe arch
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Manning Chris will have a better pro career, but yours never.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: He never lost the job. So again, it's it's only
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: one league. You went into one of the top ten
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: tough environments in college football and you lost. Okay, you
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: lost by seven points, but it definitely was just a
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: lot of hype. And hey, the defenses showed up, like
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: you said, just like they showed up in a lot
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: of games as we can of of big time opponents.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Pretty much almost every top tier game had defenses were,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: especially in the first half, were showing out. So again, Texas,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: like Bama, hey you're still in it. You're obviously not
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: gonna fall. You're not gonna fall from one to twenty five. Okay,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: but yeah, hey, it's a bumping bumping the road. But
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I'm in a way CRS though, just for him, because
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I can hate Texas for abubly I can breathe. But
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: he'll learn from it. Like you went on the road
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: to Ohio State. That probably will be the toughest game
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: you gotta play all year, or it'll be on par
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: with going to like a Bama l Suopers or something
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Like you're gonna.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, but you're not gonna have like a
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: much tougher experience. So obviously not what they wanted. I
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: think his ceiling will be plenty higher, but hey, it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: a good way to get your feet wet. You know,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: they Texas could have scheduled Missouri State and one fifty
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: two to six, and people like, oh, arch Mannie for Heisman.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: You know, he's like, no, you you went on the road,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: he got tests, he got smacked the mouth a little bit,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: but you're gonna be okay. And your team obviously is
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: still I'm sure, huge favor to make the playoff at
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the end of the year. But hey, defensively, both the
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: team showed up in Ohio States. Quarterback you know saying
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: say saying, hey, thirteen for twenty a buck twenty six,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: that's not flashy, but you got the job done. You
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: didn't have a pick, you know, you didn't do anything
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: too impressive, but and hell, you're three for twelve and
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: third down so even his game was pretty pretty nasty,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, but but they got the win
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: at home, which a lot of people didn't expect. And hey,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: for Ohio State, that's a great win to put on
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the resume. I don't care how it Texas US for
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year. That's why those wins, Chris were.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: At the end of the year, the committee's looking over
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: stuff that that's a pin the bulletin board, like that's
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: that's what Maybe that could be one of the best
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: wins of the year, you know, or it's it'll make
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: your resume look really good.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Well, they they better win the trilogy next year, That's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say, because they've it's been two years in.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: A row now.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right next then SEC.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: You know that that stuff adds up over time. Speaking
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of SEC this time acc But when Klepston has it right,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: they they have that SEC vibe.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: But they don't have it right just yet.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, Lsu showed them where the real Death Valley is.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, it's a great environment. I'm just
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: fucking around, but I still count Death Valley Tiger Stadium.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah over that, But I mean they they when they
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: needed to stop the run, they pretty much couldn't. It
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't as bad Asabama, that's for sure. They
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: started containing the run a little bit. I will say
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that because they only got one on weight, but they
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't run on twenty f in attempts. They only had
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: thirty one yards.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Both teams this theme.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: You know, four of eleven, I guess from the stats
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we've been reading on third down isn't horrible. But three
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of thirteen, four of eleven was LSU. You know, they
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: had those turnovers, those two fumbles, you know, in the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the first half they were down, but then they
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: played really well and finished the game strong. Thirty seven
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to twenty two. Thirty seven ten to twenty two point
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: fifty was the time of possession Marshall twenty five to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: thirteen on first downs. Okay, it does look like LSU
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: is going to have a better running game. I'm not
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: going to put it in the top ten by any
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: stretch just yet. And and like I said, they didn't
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: get gashed. It seemed like there was some timely runs
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: or whatever. The quarterback played really solidly. But Clemson, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: they smu but they've been having problems beaten the high
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: level teams and finally LSU. Since twenty nineteen, they hadn't
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: won an opener. I didn't. I thought it was just
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: under Brian Kelly, but I was wrong. It went further
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: back than I even thought. But Kelly got off to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Schneider and by the way, shots out to LSU for
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: scheduling all these primetime tough games right off the bat.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: We can't forget about that. But he finally gets the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: job done on the road and we got to start
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: looking at LSU different. The defense in the running game
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: looks like it's developing and making strides in the right
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you know ways, especially defensively because Clemson has a good
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: offense and they couldn't do shit. Now. I know they
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: lost a star wide receiver early. You have to put
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that into the equation. But ouch, you know, big win
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: for you and Brian Kelly. They need it and we'll see.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: You know, they got a tough schedule, so we'll see
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: where it ends up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, hey, like you said that, that's that is the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: best formula for success. Chris is running the ball on
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: defensive line and speak. That's what Meyer and uh Salman
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: had or you can have the crazy thing like coach
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: O had l SU, where you just have an offense
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: that is ungodly. Okay, I don't think. I don't know
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: if if you know what I mean, like it's going
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: to be that ever, yes, yeah, And I don't thinkers
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Meyer is going to be Joe Burrow, you know. But
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I mean he's he's he's He's maybe gonna be one
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of the top tier SEC quarterbacks this year though, for sure,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: and he.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Might go number one.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so and again but all I heard this,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: all I heard last week was Hey, Clemson Penn State,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: two most selling teams in the country. Clemson Penn State,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: two most selling teams in the country. Klube Nick for Heisman. Okay,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: now again it's only been one week. But Nussmeyer, I
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: would say, was the better quarterback Week one on the
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: road versus Clemson. Hey, another another quarterback who has a
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: lot of hype, Like man, who's I think Klube Nick
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: is top three for Heisman? I believe, or maybe I
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: was just misseeing stuff, But hey, they.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Got shut out.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: He was got shut out the second in the second
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: half of a home game versus an LSU defense. Chris
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: for the past three to four years for sure. Yeah,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe right before COVID. Maybe COVID did the man
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: worse than we thought.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Even that year it was like playmaking, but it wasn't
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal defense. Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Uh. The fact that LSU's defense pitched a shutout in
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the second half at Clemson versus one of the most
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: talented teams in the country, that's a huge step in
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: the right direction. You know. LSU always has talent that
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: that's never been an issue with him to recruit. Obviously,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Coach O and u Kel you're two different completely the
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: type of people, and they run the program differently, but
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: they're always bringing in boys, you know, and Kelly's got
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the guys. But hey, if that defense is back, maybe
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: like the LSU days of being a little more competitive,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: and you have a quarterback that could be the best
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: quarterback in the SEC, potentially you got a pretty good
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: recipe and there and another key Chris is their schedules
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: not Florida esque. Now. I do think LSU's probably if
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: you had to do like easy, medium or hard like Florida's,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: definitely like hard time stamp ls Whu's probably like a
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: medium tier schedule for SEC because that is a huge factor.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: They do have some tough games, but it's not like
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: insane ls. Who's got you got a reason to be optimistic.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: And like you said, you start the year off one
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: and oh last year versus USC, they were in the game,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: but the defense, I'm down that Miller Moss had a
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: pretty good game for USC and they were to pull
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: out to win a team I cheer four who haven't
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: talked about you know a whole lot lately, But hey,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: this year you win at Clemson, and just like I
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: said a few minutes ago, Ohio State has a good
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: resume win. Chris, this looks really good for LSU. You
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: get a non conference win at the fourth right team
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: in the country on the road, Like, that's a great
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: win to start off the year. And it's gotta be
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: a side relief for Kelly to start the year off right.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Your defense is back in action. The running back, yeah,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: you know, like you said, he didn't run a whole lot,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: but hey, seventeen carries for seventy four yards by Durham's
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: that's enough. That's enough to say, hey, if we need
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: the ball and we need to run, we can get
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: a piece here and there. Maybe you don't run twenty
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: five to thirty times a game, but seventeen for seventy
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: four keeps the defense honest and shows you still have
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: a threat.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And that's the biggest thing. They couldn't really run consistently
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: last year. And it looks like they got two backs
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: now and it's one to grow on. And we saw Clemson,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you know, like they haven't been always great, but you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: we can't count them out because they have a chance
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to win the ACC and and I guess you could
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: say they could. You know, they're still got to take
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: on South Carolina and that type of thing. But if
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they can win the ACC, then they're in the playoffs regardless,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: so we can't cut them out. But you know, they
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: returned a lot of folks and yeah, they didn't get
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: ran over like we've seen. But then again, like this
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: is still a passing team that they're facing, so we'll
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: see if they can contain this run because as we know,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: they got bled. It felt like they were on the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: road to get in bled on the run game, but
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: they did tighten up a little bit, so they're gonna
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: have to keep doing that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But really, just the LSU defense.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, what they did to that offense. That was
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that was something because, like I said, say what you
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: want about Clemson, but they can put up points and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: they were able to do that. On to Miami hosting
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Notre Dame breaking in a new quarterback, the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: grandson of Carr, the Salivary Lloyd Carr, the Michigan coach.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: The kid looked pretty good. He looked pretty good. I thought, obviously,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to speaking a run of the ball.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That was the most impressive thing I saw out of that. Well,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the Miami defense, the secondary, you know, besides that run around, well,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: that second run around play especially, that was a blown coverage.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I'd say the first run around touchdown was just that
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: kid making a play. I can't really get too mad
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: at that one. But the second one was a blown
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: coverage where it's like, whoa, no one's even on that guy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: But they're not, you know, they're they're not gonna be
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: able to run the same way and just stick to
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it like they did with Riley because he had just
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: a way of finding the first down. And obvious they
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: got two stunt running backs. Really love gets the presses pressure,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: which you know makes sense, but they they have a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: running game, and so I thought that stood out. To
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: hold that team to ninety to under one hundred yards
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: is a win right there, and actually out rushing. Both
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: these teams have good running games, and that just shows
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you how tough the defense was. We know that Miami
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: had a defensive issue last year in the secondary and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: as the front seven started to get injured.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: The reason why the coordinator's not there anymore is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Because he kept trying to play as if he had
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: his whole front seven, and he was taking these chances
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that were crazy, and in the secondary is horrible. Whether
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: it's young, two young guys, or like multiple transfers, they
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: got some guys that can play back there. So I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: was impressed with both defenses really, but especially the Miami defense.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: It's just because we knew, you know, like both these
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: If you look at the top five or top ten
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: offensive and defensive lines, you're gonna find both. Notre dame
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: in Miami in my opinion. But I did like the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: jump it appears that Miami made on defense. They do
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: have to go against more of an explosive offense to
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: really you know, you gotta test that secondary all the way.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: But then again, if you're dropping back five or seven
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: stop steps, the edges are gonna get to you and
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: we won't have to blitz as much this year. I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: also thought Carson Beck was just very very comfortable, very solid.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He had that one bad throw that the former LSU
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: wide receiver made up for it with that beautiful one
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: hand grab. They have a young freshman, true freshman that
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: was making plays, so a good little run pass mix
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: looked pretty sharp when they needed to. I did like
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the three, the three runs right in a row after
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you had had some success late, you know of late.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: But I thought they're a little too conservative down the stretch.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I would have liked them to snap the ball at
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: two seconds rather than nine and ten. But overall, you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: as a grinded out game two, and it got to
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more, you know, points later. But
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame tried and tried, and like I said, I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: like the potential of that kid. It's just gonna be
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a little different and they're gonna have to throw the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: ball a little bit more and not run as much.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But for Miami to shut down that running back that
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame has, I was really impressed with that defense man.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still a little upset because I did have
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Miami and at them right after this score. I got
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: them like minus five and a half. So when they
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: were up twenty one to seven, I was very happy
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: during your boys on and then as you said, they
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: did get pretty conservative with the play calls and more.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Two or three drives.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and what killed me even worse was I really
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: thought that Miami's defense did a really good job and
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: that Notre Dame wasn't really throwing the ball down the
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: field too effectively, especially in the first half. That kid
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: was throwing like two yard passes the whole time. Uh So,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: when the Hurricanes went to a prevent defense, they dropped
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: their defensive backs back like they kind of let him
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: go under, and I think kind of got into a rhythm,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: which was not good for my betting account. But I
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: will try to move on past that. Uh So, Yeah,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: that that that actually just pissed me off again. But hey,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: at then day, your boys gotta win. I do. I
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: think you put it really nice that I think Carson
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Beck I wouldn't say it was the game manager. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: think it was more than I think he made some
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: some pretty decent passes. I'm not saying like he was elite,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: but he moved.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Really well in the pocket a couple of times.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you could tell compared to the other guys
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: we talked about, like he just had a presence to himself.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: He felt comfortable. I know it's a new team, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: like that just and obviously he was hurt last year,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: but you know, here's.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Such a high level defense to a great secondary.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, he looked very comfortable, A word that I haven't
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: used of the of the quarterbacks in the games we
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: talked about before this one, So credit to him. Screw
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: you for a costume a bed, but you know, so
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: be it and Chris, but I just think I don't
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: think Chris wall is many of the best in game coach.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I was pulling my hair out for him because just
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the showing example, like in the first half, when Miami
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: was trying to drive the score before halftime, Miami gets
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: a first down, there's like thirty seconds left before halftime,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: and there was just complete commotion and that situation a
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: coaching kind of step up, and there was commotion for
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: twelve seconds. So when Miami was out like the like
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: the twenty yard liner, eighteen yard line, you let twelve
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: seconds run off and accomplished nothing, and then you did
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: have a really sick like Grandy Moss as catch.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: But they did kind of get bailed out by that.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was just a situation where it's like, dude,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: you can't waste twelve seconds there. But it was a
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: reminder to me as a gambler of I really can't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I can only blame myself because I know you're Hurricanes fans.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not ripping your team, but christ of Ball is
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: shown over the years that he's not the best in
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: game manager, per se. So I really only blame myself
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: for betting that man. But anyways, with the football, hey,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame has two of the best running backs in
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: the country on the same team, and your d line
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: did a good job of relatively containment, which is an accomplishment.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: If you Notre Dame, you're you're running games only gonna
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: get better throughout the year. So you know too, because
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: my one of my good buddies is Irish fan. You know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of people say Love could be one of
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: the best running backs in the country, but if you
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: watch last night, Chris the backup stole the show. So
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: it's like dude, you have two of the best running
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: backs to let possibly like that that potential scary.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And that's why I mean they shut him down to
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: keep those guys under one hundred. Well, you know, I
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: suppose there was some sacks, so it's probably not under
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred. But with neither guy getting the eighty right.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, that that's a win a hunt. Yes, and again
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: for for defense last year where you were having to
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: win games forty eight to forty four because cam mood
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: was trying to save your asset, that was a huge
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: step in the right direction. So yeah, and again Beck
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: was just obviously not cam Mooard at all, but he was.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: He was a good quarterback that can and he's been
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: in tough pressure situation games before. And I guess my
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: last point, just to flip it the car who I
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: did think was super conservative with the play calls in
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: the passing. It was raining hard to so that probably
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: played a bit of a part into it for him
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: to go to Miami, which is you know, pready.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Conservative last year too, even with a fifth year.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a little bit of their mo
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: They not fit. Miami is like death valve. But you're
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: still on the road, which was a good environment last
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: night in the rain. But the car showed in the
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter that glimpses of even if Miami is playing
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: a bit of a prevent defense, that what he can do.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: So if you're notre name fan obviously or piss stock,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: you lost, but it again, that's not gonna hurt you
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: too bad because you lost to a tops and team
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: on the road. So we're happy as sport fans to
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: watch the game. You especially my friend. I'm happy your
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: boys are off to one and no start. And yeah,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: it was a fun, a fun and joyable game. And
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, we get spoiled out, Chris with
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: how good the televisions are. I think what I think
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: it was poor prey Arden. It's just you really can't
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: toe nowadays with how they do the camera stuff. It's
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: like how bad the rains affecting you to they can
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: give you those side shots. But I think maybe the
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: weather it was pretty rough. You see the.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Problem they show that is true, or when they show
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: it by the lights, like the top of the lights. Yeah,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: at the top, that's when you can really see it.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: You're right, that is a big It was raining way
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: harder than I thought true, But yeah, I mean it.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: You know, remember like the top five or six past
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: catchers for Miami are not on the team. They're either
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: a few of them went to the draft and then
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to the pros, and then you know, some transfer to
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: one of them transferred to Bama. I wonder how he's
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: doing anyway, But you know, like they had, they they're
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: gonna get better. They're gonna get better, yeah, because that
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, this is their first game together too. But
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Carson Beck I thought he you know, he made a
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: couple of really just calculated moves in the pocket and
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: even with the pressure coming, he does have a way.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Besides that one throw that was high where the you know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Daniel's former LSU guy made a great catch. He would
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: have more than likely have to play the defensive back
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of times in that situation because it was
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: a high throw as a risk throw. But overall, to
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: get that dub against a defense like that, which is
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: one of the better defenses in the country, I was
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: very very happy. Auburn really handled business against Baylor, and
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the former Oklahoma quarterback in a better fit for him,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: looked really good. They looked Auburn looks like they're going
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to be able to run the you know what out
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: of the ball. So I did think that that was
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: going to be a closer game, thirty eight to twenty four.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: The closer game, the one that Georgia Tech was I
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: think six by the time it kicked a six point favorite,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: actually turned out to be pretty close. Georgia Tech Colorado,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, you know, against Miami, against Georgia some other
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: teams that they showed some promise, you know, of having
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a quality year this year, Colorado rebuilding. You could tell
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: they're trying to change their identity to more of a
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: run first. I think the offensive line that they have
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: it does seem like it fits the run scheme pretty
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: well compared to the last couple of years because they
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: haven't been able to run. I think last year they
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: started to run just enough. But this year you can
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: tell they're kind of leaning in on it. And their defense,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: relatively speaking, actually played pretty good Colorado. But you know,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I would say that the young QB that was at Liberty,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: there were a couple times, well I would like them
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to run more run place for him one and two.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: There was a couple times where you're like, dude, that's
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: like a ten or fifteen yard pickup, especially in a
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: fourth downy through this one of the end zone. It's like, dude,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: go get your first down. Dude, this isn't liberty. You know,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: you got to get that first down. So they're obviously
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: a work in progress too, but I thought they were
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: a little further along at times when the I like
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: both of the running backs, so I thought they could
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: considering home pass happy they've been the last two years.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I actually think they're on the right track rushing the ball,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: but it is one to kind of grow on Georgia Tech.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: You know, have these sloppy, sloppy play at the start,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and you see this a lot week one, week zero, whatever,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: or just the first time you play a quality opponent
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: or a close game. In a close game, see some sloppiness.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: But we see that in week one. You see that
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: in preseason for the NFL a lot and even you know,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: game win and game team, you see that because there's
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: a lot less time for people to get live reps.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Even when NFL does scrimmages, they're not really hitting the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback or anything like that, and tackling all the way
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: to the ground. If you tackle all the way to
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the ground, there's probably gonna be a fight. So but
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: you know, to have two fumbles and they had three
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: all last year or some shit like that, it was like, WHOA,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? But they were able
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: to grind the game out. And I don't know, there's
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: just something about the coach, There's something about this quarterback.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: There's just something about this team that I like out
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the running back who's kind of a pass catcher too.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I like what they did last year, but they also
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: have some inconsistency in other games where you're like, wow,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: this is the team that beat Miami and almost beat Georgia.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: But then they turn around and lose that team.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of a wait and see what Georgia Tech,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: to see if they could actually win nine or ten
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: games or something like that.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But it's still on the road.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Colorado is now, you know, a tougher place to play
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: because you know they have it sold out again. So
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Colorado kind of retooling, turning into a running team.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: We'll see where that goes.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: But overall, Georgia Tech, you know, they they it was
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: still close even with those mistakes that they had early,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: and they started to put it together and and kind
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: of look a little bit more a form that we
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: saw last year.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: So as you know, to know shock, you've known me
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: for I suppose like almost twenty years now. I gamble
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: on sports. The amount of inappropriate words used in my
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: group chat when I bet Georgia Tech, Oh my.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: God, five and a half or what was.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: It, yeah, five and a half? Yeah, yeah, And so
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: thankfully he didn't slide down and take an ego for
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: a field goal.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bought that for a second, like halfway through
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the run. I was like, oh, wait a second.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, and that's become kind of a
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: trend of your thing nowadays. But the sport, thank god.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: But then Colo Colorado, I held marry the second last
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: play of the game that missed by about six inches
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: or that door to tea, but.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you were holding on for dear life.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, there were many four little words used because the
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: last year, and the announcer said it. Last year, Georgia
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Tech had three fumbles on the whole season, and they're
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: a run happy team. They had two, they had two
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: in the first quarter, and they had three turnovers within
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: eight minutes of the game. I was like, because when
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech ran the ball. They looked pretty good. I'm like, okay,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: we I think I made the right bet here because
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Carrado clearly no shock is replacing a NFL quarterback and
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: the Heisman winner, so you know, there's a lot and
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: they're they're old line, d line or making in progress.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: But they had to replace some people there too, so
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I felt pretty good with my bet. But dude, when
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: you have three turnovers in the first half, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Jesus lord. But to their defensive credit, their defense stepped up. Now,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: I did think the Carffs quarterback showed some signs of
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: definitely having potential. I'm not saying he's going to be
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Shador and he clearly does not have a Travis Hunter.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: But like you said, I think Carlo played pretty well.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: If Georgia Tech played him again this week, I probably
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: not have three turnovers, so the score might be a
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: little bit different. But like you said, that was a
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: fun game to watch. Georgia Tech. Maybe they're you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: they're probably a sleeper to make the playoff, Like could
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: they finish thirteenth or fourth like they could be. I'm
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: not I'm not calling it a lock, but that team
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: when they're locked in with the running game they have
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: is legit. I suppose that's their defense play a little
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: more improved. But that was then enjoyable game to watch
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: and happy my bet came through, and yeah, hey, Georgia
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Tech's just kind of fun to watch because they got
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the quarterback, they got the running back. The one's first
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: name is Haynes, one last name is Haynes. You know,
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: it's an enjoyable game. And if you're Colorado, you're still
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be in the news. You know, Dion is still there. Thankfully,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: he's doing good health wise. You know, people love him
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: or hate him, but obviously as a person, you want
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: to do to be good. And it seems like health
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: wise done the right right direction there, like the bladder
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: cancer is all gone. And I think for him, for
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: him moving forward, Chris is what kind of coach is
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: he gonna be this year? Because he had Travis Hunter,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: you switch to Colorado, you had some boys come in,
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: and you know, you had some ups and downs, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: you've had some pretty good, pretty good seasons. But now yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: and just like he had it priorly before before they
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: switched to Colorado. So now I think what people want
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: to see is Okay, now that you don't have an
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: NFL quarterback and wide receiver combo quite yet. I'm not
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: saying the kid that played last night couldn't go or
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: for cards, he can't go. Bro, I'm not sure, but
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I think what kind of coach is he like? I'm
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: not I'm not doubting him either, but right now, but
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I think this will maybe for his track record, because
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: he probably will want to leave Colorado, you know soon
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: possibly What will it show for what kind of years
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Colorado going to have? You know, because you don't get
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: you don't got the horses. But if you have a
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: if you have a great year again this year, that's
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: only gonna make his resume look better. And I wish
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: him well. And if you're yeah, George Tech, I think
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: you're an outside outside sleeper for being a contender to
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: possibly sinking or for the playoffs.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the kid he has, he got a really good
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: young quarterback who's a true fresher right now. He recruited him.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: And so my gas is they're leaning all the way
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: into the run pass, but run heavy, and that's what
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: this kid probably does. So they're already going because that's
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: what the liberty transfer does. Right, and yeah, yeah, they're
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: just they're They're like, hey, you gotta what talent you have.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: You got to lean into whatever they can do best.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: So that's what I think this whole thing's about. And
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I think that the holes were there more than they
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: have been and it's a big ass, big big line.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Now can they protect We'll find out. It didn't seem
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: like they could all that well. But the you know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: like I said, their defense got a little bit better
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: last year, and their run game minor league got better
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: considering how much they had to rely in the past.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: But I like their two running backs. I think they
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: got something going there. But ultimately we'll see, you know,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's not just this year, it's the next
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: few years. I mean, if you talk to the experts,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: he was gonna be at the Cowboys already.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. Now, we had the big
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: ten versus Mac unofficial challenge. Ruggers just barely got by
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Ohio Buffalo.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Who actually has a legit defense.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: In return like a thousand yard running back, it's good
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. They gave Minnesota a really good game. Miami
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: of Ohio and Wisconsin was pretty clear. The seventeen is
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: z it doesn't quite tell the story. And also just
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: kind of throwing this in there. It's not you know,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: it's Big Ten, it's not Mac. But since he gave
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Nebraska all it could handle, and I think they are
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: like a six and a half point favorite. Nebraska was,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: but so they didn't look great. However, they did win
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a one score game and so maybe you can get
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: confidence off of that. So I thought those were really
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: interesting games, and a lot of them are on Thursday,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you know, all of them around Thursday is the one
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned it, and most of them were really
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: really competitive. Thursday night was actually a very underrated night.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Rutgers doesn't look like they're gonna be good
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: on defense. Minnesota had about four or five drops unfortunately,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: but the red shirt freshman looked pretty good. He looked
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: very good. Actually, so he only threw a couple passes
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: where you or like he shouldn't have taken a sack
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: in the red zone. He threw like a pass in
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the end zone that was questionable, but overall he.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Looked pretty good.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: But that Thursday night for the Big Ten wasn't you
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: know the Big Ten like mid level teams was actually
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: really exciting and also the earliest game of the night.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: South Florida just whooped on Boise State. I'm talking they
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: beat him down. Marshall.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I sadly took Boys in that one. But if
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: if you want, in the first half, it really actually
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: was a close game. But yeah, you're a common theme
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: now if you if you look at Boxer like, dude,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: you're on you're on drugs. But no, I know you
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: say so because Boys actually when in the first quarter
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: outplayed them and they fumbled in the turnover in the
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: red zone, and then they were actually going to in
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: the red zone again and we're about to score to
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: make their lead bigger, and they fumbled again in the
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: red zone. And so a game that, again I was
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: using more colorful words, a game that was you know
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: where Boys, you probably was the better team in the
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: first half, but if you have turnovers, then the gates
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: being a better team, right, Well.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: That that you know, you have plenty of time in
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the second half to do something. Yeah.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And one of actually one of the biggest plays
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: so the game was when the game was still within
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: check and I believe it was fourteen to ten or
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: in that ballpark where boys, who was down like four
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: points UCF did a fake punt and so they snuck
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: on their backup quarterback like their new talented freshman kid. Yeah,
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: but boys didn't. Boys didn't realize it, and so this
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: kid dropped back drops back to past my as me
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: as a better I'm like, okay'm gon get the ball back. Cool.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: I see this punter throw just a fucking rope. Chris,
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you gotta be shit me touchdown, you know.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: So I was again not happy, but then I heard
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: the annougers say that, hey, they you know, they suck
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: a guy on, and hey, to their credit, nice job
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: a boys, wake the hell up on special teams. But
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: it just in my head, Chris, I was like, dude,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: I've not seen a punter make that good of an
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: and throw my whole life like this thing. This was
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: the dart Man. I'm like like, man, I am screwed,
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: like I have bet in this game. I I just
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: never believed that, Chris, that the punching they give a throw.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: But then you heard a backup snuck on. But that
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: is hey, sneaky, But dude, someone's gotta realize, like if
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: you're doing homework on special teams. Hey, if their puncher's
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: number eight, this dude's eleven. Someone might want to say something.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, either either make it audible to cover something or
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: call time out or something.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or a red light should be flashing. But there
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: there was no red lights flashing. Chris, I was just okay,
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: well no damn so but hey, to their credit, like, hey,
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: and they they've always been that team that wins seven
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: eight games a year. They're maybe not quite what they
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: had when the Scott Frost was there, but it's a
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: good program. They're they're legit, and they had to despite
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: what I was thinking about the first half, Hey, you
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: want Boise's ass, and you had a really good start
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: to the year and you beat great team at home.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: So credits to them.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that was That was really interesting.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: I guess the only the only sign of what I
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: got left, and I believe they chose a tw two
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: things quickly. One, I've always liked uh got what's his name,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Jeff Brom at Perdu and now he's in Louisville. And
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: I've always liked Miller Moss who was at USC and
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: the got bench. Now he's a Louisville. So I have
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: two guys, I like together. I know it's eastern Kentucky,
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: but credits of Louisville. I got the Miller Moss and
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: brom Coma looked nice, so credits to them. And the
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: only last point I got is hey, K State chose
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: to play after that week in Ireland, just like Iowa State. Dude,
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: K State almost had a huge collapse. Like I know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: they lost last week, but to choose the play I
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: thought was a bit tough because that is a it
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: is a six hour time difference. So obviously when you're
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: flying back, you're pissed off you lost and you had
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: and you had to play a game this week, you know,
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: because even the NFL Chris, you know, as a Viking fan,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: they've been overseas a lot. Normally the NFL left some
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: pick I'm sure in college you could get on off.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: We two K State being North Dakota thirty eight to
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: thirty five, and they were a twenty seven and a
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: half point favorite. So you almost lost, which would have
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: been a disastrous, disastrous start for KSE State if you
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: lost as a four touchdown favorite. So that Irish hangover
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: almost got them in. But they were lucky to win
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: that game. It would have been a really, really tough
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: start for the boys in Manhattan, start off zero to
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: two with how the season was going.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean those back to back touchdowns to
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: pull the lead, and they had a turnover on downs
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: k State but North Dakota back to back touchdowns was
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: like holy shit.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: And then and then they had a turnover on downs,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: like oh my god.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: But luckily they did force of three and out, had
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: a ten play eighty one yard drive and ended up
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you know, turning them over on downs. So they did
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: sneak out, you know, with a win. But yeah, it
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: speaking of going to Europe, do you know the Vikings
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: not only play one, but they play back to back
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: fucking games in Europe this year?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, bullshit.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Because it forces you to take in in early by
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously true.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: True.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, people say, oh, you're gonna get you know,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: a big advantage this second week. Yeah, but dude, you
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: can't tell me being in Europe for two straight weeks
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: is an advantage. I don't give a shit who you say.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: And no other team's ever had to do this. Just
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: because we draw well over there doesn't mean shit, you know,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: So we have a short week because we have a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Monday night game in an early buy with two count
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: them two games overseas. Man, that really pisses me out.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: But anyway, back to college football, Yeah, it was a
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: really fun week man. And obviously in like give or
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: take twenty minutes, the last game of Week one and
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: just how they wrap it up to Week zero. Pretty
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: soon Week one is gonna be week zero. I do
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: believe to kind of not have the season go as long,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: so that's my guess. But really really fun and I
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: think it'll be a good game. I definitely think it'll
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: be a good game coming up tonight. I think it
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: should be. I kind of favorite TCU in that one, but.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting, though. I guarantee the only you
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: know football on tonight that's gonna get a big rating
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: because the Belichick, you know, people are gonna they're gonna wonder.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: You know, they're gonna wonder.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: And maybe you think his girl will have like some
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: headphones on and be like playing calling and shit like that,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: or no, she'll have like a play sheet in front
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: of her covering up her mouth when she talks, you know.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: So I think the bigger question that ties into women
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: in football? Is that that my fiance told to me
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: today we were talking about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I was like, I wonder if they're gonna get married
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: and like sneak away and go somewhere private or like
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: have a huge wedding. And then Melvis said, I heard
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: in the media this week they're asking what Travis Kelce's
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: ex thought about her getting engaged to Taylor Swift. And
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: I was like, that has to be one of the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: toughest questions the world to answer, because normally, I think
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: when the relationship, you guys feel like you're if your
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: xcis will like to take the shots of well they
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: downgraded after me. Imagine Chris, You're like, okay, well what
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: do you think about your new your ex boyfriend getting
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: married to Taylor Swift? Like there's there's no nothing you
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: can say. That question is gonna be a good answer. Yeah,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: you can't say your man downgrade when he's now dating
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: a billionaire who is like super successful. So yeah, we're
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: catching everything in today. But I thought that was funny
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: and yes, with her, I'm assuming, well she won't be
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: in the sidelines. I'd be shocked. And she was actually
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: But do think she's gonna have a play sheet in
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: front of her, like covering her mouth, telling who, what, where,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Hoiland stuff at what.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe she'll be coordinating the dance team. Maybe she has.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll go to booth shots.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: Possibly possibly, I can't wait. You're gonna do a story
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: about like their dating who maybe they broke up. We
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: haven't heard for her for a long time. Who knows,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so we two is upon us. Like I said,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you know, maybe we could have saved
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: one of these ranks versus rank for week two. But
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of games, like we'd like to say
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: here flying under the radar. We will get into those.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: But Michigan and I'm not gonna say number whatever Michigan
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: because we don't know the actual numbers just yet.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and today's a holiday too.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Michigan at Oklahoma, the youngster true frosh look
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Now they're playing a you know, subpar team,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: so you can't look into it. But they actually passed
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: the ball more than I thought they would.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Because he is a dual threat. It's not just.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Run run, run, run, run, and he actually looked pretty good.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, we'll see how it goes. Oklahoma
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: does have a legitimate defense. Both probably do right, Michigan
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. But the coach obviously from Clemson formally as
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: the decoordinator, we saw that he can get that defense
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: up and running. But he went out and got help
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: from Washington State, not only the play caller but the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: actual quarterback, who, by the way, is a run pass.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of people think he's just that. They he
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: throws fifty times and that's it. No, he runs a
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: lot too, So it's kind of interesting, you know, they
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: needed I like that in Oklahoma.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: They're like, hey, dude, we gotta.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Try this out. We gotta we gotta do something. And
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: obviously you know the wide receiver talent they had last year,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: it was just it was what fun of them are
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: out or something? It was crazy. Why so you couldn't
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: really get a read on Arnold anyway. And Arnold, like
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: I said, looks pretty good in Auburn right now. Looks
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: like he found a home. But you know, do we
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: really know how good though? Like we already kind of
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: wonder what Michigan against a quality team and a quality
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: defense on the road, it's gonna look like with a
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: true freshman, Well, this dude's been around the block who
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma has. But you know, I'm just not gonna I'm
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: not gonna look at the stats he put up at
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Washington State and act like he's gonna do that, especially
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: in the SEC if he's still in the Big twelve.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe I think that, But I do think they'll have
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: enough to get it done.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: But this is a close game.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: And I think it's sitting around five and a half
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: point favorite. Obviously Oklahoma at home. But what are your
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: thoughts going in this one? Forty five and a half.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't doubt.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: If it goes under, I could see, like we've been
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: talking about, a throwback type wanting to run the game
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: and set up big explosive plays. I just I liked
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: when I saw the kid from Michigan. But am I
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: ready to say he can do that against this defense?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Not quite yet.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, a turnover here, a turnover there, especially
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: in the red zone, or a muff punt or something
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: like that. This game could come down to that too.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: But I am favor in Oklahoma.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna do the same. I think I got
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: that good family friend from Oklahoma's taking me to tuscle
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: Loosa this year. So maybe a little biased, but I
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: think we're Oklahoma, You're you're kind of hoping for a
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: stronger year. They've had not a huge drop off last
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: couple of years. But I think with Venables now I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: believe this is his third year now, yep, taking over
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: for Lake and Riley, and like the defense is a
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: mo I do think that maybe last year his defense
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: did improved. But also when you lose your first five
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: string wide receivers, like it is hard to put together
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: even or resemblance of an offense. So they kind of
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: were a hard spot and they had a pretty like ranking.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: Going back to my SEC schedule ranks, their schedule was
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: pretty hard last year. Not again Florida s but it
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: was also a tough It was tough. It maybe was
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: number one, but it was probably you know, a B
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: plus difficulties. So I think this is just all those
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: games kind of need, like, hey, start the year off
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: two and zero, get a win versus ranked team, get
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: a win at home because Bama they had a lot
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: of tough road games last year, which means I have
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of tough hold games this year, well shit
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: there and actual well ship this year they actually are
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: going to go to South Carolina, go to BAM, and
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: go to Tennessee and that that's not easy at all
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: because he asked me which one I wanted to go to,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: So I just remember those three, like those are all
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: three very difficult games. So I think we're.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: All close to the river too from what I heard.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: So I I think with with wanted to bounce back one,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: have your third year be your best year as your
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: your venables and just praying your wide receiver stay healthy
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: with with a quarterback that should be able to get
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: them the rock. Uh yeah, I think this. I think
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: this is a win. And if you're Michigan, like I mean, yeah,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: are they would you? I don't want to say rebuilding,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: but I almost feel like, you know, they they had,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: they had their national title, They've had a lot of
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: guys go pro. I feel that maybe right now they're
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: a little overrated from the ranking. Like I I guess
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not hearing as much hype about them because like
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: all I've heard is like in the big tens, like
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: you know, Penn State and Ohio State and you know,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: who knows, maybe Indiana possibly, But I haven't heard that
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: Michigan hype, you know, but but the ranking have some
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: suggests that they should be getting hype. So we'll see
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: kind of like what legit team Michigan is. And I
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: mean every year, though, Chris, there's teams who are ranked
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: eleven to twenty that don't finish the year ranked at all.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: So even in the top ten, there's usually at least.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: So I just I want to see it. Like I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: do think there maybe having a bit of a regression
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: from the national town, which is expected, and that a
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: little bit of the commotion. But yeah, let's just see
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: what they got and if Rokelahoma again, this is a
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: big one because if you lose this one and then
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: you got all those tough SCC games coming, it kind
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: of puts a different spin on your out look on
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think last year they took
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: a big step back, So I think they're I think
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: they're on the I do think that last year they
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: just they couldn't their quarterbacks couldn't do a damn thing,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: so it really limited them. Yes, they had still a
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: solid defense that would have looked better if they had
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: a good offense, and they did have some key injuries.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Johnson the cornerback, you know, got hurt. But you know
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: the way they finished beating Ohio State that and then
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: they beat Bama, and Bama had the starting to be
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: that that was a legit That was a legit bowl game.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Even though neither of them were in the playoffs. That
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: was a pretty much a legit bowl game. So I
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: did like how they turned the corner late, and like
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, I didn't expect them to pass.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: As much as they did.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's you know, instead of during their national championship
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: run where they were hiding everything until they had to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: do it. You know, I think they were like, hey,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: let's see what this kid's got. Now. You could even
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: see that with the Gophers, we have a nowhere near
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: the same level of recruit or nothing like that. But
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: instead of just well let's wait, you know, or even
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: like a aler from Penn State, remember two years ago,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to do anything with him, and then
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden we had to do something. He
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: was very inaccurate and he couldn't do it. And and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: last year he took a jump not quite big enough.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to see if he takes another jump. But
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: so I think they're on the way up. But to
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: your point, are they going to finish the top fifteen team?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a great way. This September
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: is all about let's see where you're at cruit. You know,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: sometimes the portal works out for you, sometimes it doesn't.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think it's a really good matchup.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: But I just have to favor Oklahoma because I don't know,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: they kind of finished off kind of strong. I just
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: I believe in I think they'll be able to move
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: the ball just enough to win the game. But I
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't doubt if it goes under the five and a
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: half and just be a grinder type game. Iowa Iowa State.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: It's tough to say, well, this comes down to a quarterback,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: because you could have said that the last decade plus
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: for Iowa, you know, and they don't have a fucking quarterback,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: you know, so you can't just it can't be that easy.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: But I kind of think that is the difference maker. Now,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: can Iowa State and the Cyclones stop the punt return
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: or the defensive score or whatever. Remember a couple of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: years ago where they just kept scoring on defense or
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: punt return. Yes, and remember they had a lead. They
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: had a freaking big lead for Iowa last year and
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: they ended up losing the game. So I got Iowa
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: State in this one, but not come like I just
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not. It's a three point game, right, so that's
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: not comfortable at all.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: And they are they're the home team, right I believe.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will yeah minus three and a half on
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: scores app but yeah, yep.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: So it really isn't you know. It's it's basically a
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: pick him game, So I wouldn't doubt if it comes
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: down to some weird safety or something like that, and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this chronic kowski or whatever, you know, we'll
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: see if he can do something. He didn't really look
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: all that great. I did see people make fun of
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: like Iowa posting him on like just a little get
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: outside the pocket and dump it seven yards of someone
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: open or something. They're like, wow, look at it. We're
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: a new team, you know. Like it was like, well,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: that's not really.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: A great play or anything.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: But I did see this kid a little bit at times,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: and I like the potential. I like where they're going
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: with it. And we have seen, you know, the smaller level,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: the non power teams. You know, the quarterbacks have had
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: success as long as you've been someplace for a while
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: and you've seen a lot of plays. Some people can
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: make that jump. We've definitely seen that. So I'm just
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: just by the hair of the chinny chin chin. I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: got the cyclones. I'm not feeling good about it, but
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: you know, Iowa to be fair, They're horrible for so
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: long on offense. But they did make like a mini
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: improvement last year. But maybe it was all that running back,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, because that running back is a stud.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: So I like I was stating this one, but I
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: don't feel good about it.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: You know, if if I could bet that the game
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: will be within a touchdown spread or with the point
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: for the fourth quarter, I would. I would bet all
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: I could on that, because.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great way to put it.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: This this game is I would if we went back,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: I bet almost every game for the past twenty years
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: has been within a touchdown. I would say probably seventeen
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: of them of the twenty been close in the fourth.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: So it's a coin fly, a coin toss. I was
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: Punch's gonna have some great punts, you know what can
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: their quarterback do. Last year was a surprise because they
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: were up like fourteen, they let them one slip away.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: So I mean, shit, it's it's the same, and mo,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: I'll just I'm gonna take, I'm gonna take. I will
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: stay with you because I do think that they they
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: recover from last year's sick up the old The only
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: downflall could be is you know, I mean they although
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: well I know you can't even use the travel because
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: they did travel to Ireland. They and they came back
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: and had them off with played last staturage. So I'll
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: take ooa state. But again, if Iowa kicks four field
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: goals with a safety and they win seventeen to fourteen, like,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: are we going to be surprised though?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: So I'll copy all the time or something like that.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now the old Runner's forty one and a half.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: If you have the balls to bet the over, good luck.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, shit, that's for sure.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Just listening off a couple of games and we can
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: kind of get into some of them all of a sudden,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: ucf US, we've both done this now, U SF. You
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: know they used to have a pretty damn good program
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: not long ago. But the Central Florida's kind of thrown
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: US off because they you know, they've the most recent
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: good program. Now they're kind of need to rebuild. But
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: you know, USF at Florida becomes a little bit more interesting.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: And I remember last year even you can kind of
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: see they run the up and up a little bit.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Remember they they challenged Bama until like mid mid to
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: late third.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: And then they ran up.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and then what two weeks later, maybe
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: a week later or something like that, it was twenty
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: two to fifteen or some kind of weird score with
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Miami and then Miami blew them out. But I liked
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: what I saw, even though you do make a good
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: a fair point about the thirty four to seven doesn't
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: quite uh, you know, exactly explain it that that it
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: was more winnable than people just box score checking. But
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: still they did put it on them. So that's kind
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: of interesting. Vo Tech if they could find some form
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: of offense might be pretty good, because their defense looked
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: pretty good against South Carolina. They'd let that crazy punt
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: return go that that's where the game just kind of flipped.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: But they played pretty good there. You know, I bought
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: against South Carolina, but Vandy at Virginia Tech. I think
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: that's good. Kansas at Missoo is a great matchupy middle
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: of the country type stuff. Illinois at Duke Duke is
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: you know, they they are a pretty good program, and
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: now they have another good coach because of course we
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: know Olko went to Texas A and M, but they
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: filled in with the you know Manny Diaz. So I
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: had you know, it's a little bit higher now. I've
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: seen it at like three. I even saw someone at
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: three and a half. But I have Illinois. I made
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: this bet when when some of the second week was
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: still you could bet early some of the games, and
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: so I have a minus two and a half Illinois
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: that I put about two weeks ago down. But I
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: really think it's gonna be like that, like a field
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: goal type win. But Duke on the line of scrimmage
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: is starting to catch up, and we know they can
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: be a pretty solid program. Old Miss at Kentucky. Did
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Kentucky beat them last year?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh that was yeah. That was not a proud
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: woman for my guy Lane Kiff And that was not
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: a proud moment.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: And so at Kentucky, sure whatever they all, it seems
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: like they'll always pulling up set every year. But I
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: just think that there's no way they're not going to
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: be focused because your guy would just be like, hey, dude,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: remember last year, let's go beat these guys. So I
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: don't I like Old missing that game cleanly. I think
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll look pretty good doing it. But Baylor at
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: SMU Baylor, a lot of people were kind of high
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: on them as far as competing in the Big Twelve,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: and they finished like six and oho or something last year.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: But they got to go on.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: The road at SMU, not the easiest place to play
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: coming off a home game. So you got Auburn and SMU.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying those are killers, but in the non
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: car it's not like Southeastern Milwaukee State, you know what
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, technical College. You know, it's not just random
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: that school doesn't exist. But like that, I'm looking at
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: those that game, like, dude, Baylor could be in a
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: It might turn out that Baylor has that weird start
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: again and then they pull off the you know, they
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: go on a six and two run or something like that.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: But I think that's a tough game.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: So Vandy at Votech, Baylor at SMU, and Illinois at
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Duke and even Kansas Dude, Kansas at Missou, we don't
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent know what we're getting with Miszoo, you know,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: and they have another easy schedule. I do think that
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, the next next year. Looked for
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: Texas to to get loaded up like Oklahoma and somebody
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: else get loaded up like Florida, because if not, that's
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: kind of bullshit. But I assume that's that's the way
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go. But I bring that up because Miszoo
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: looks like they have a very winnable schedule this year too.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: Again, yes, and so I always if you're new to
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: the show. I've always been a USC fan for the
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: past well since like two thousand and two. I went
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: to high school in Alaska and I didn't have any
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: team to cheer for up there, so I fell in
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: love with the Reggie Bush Matt Leonards show. And since
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: that time frame and those guys have left, there hasn't
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: been much to cheer about. But I've also loved Miszoo
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: because my best friend went there. Actually, Chris got banned
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: from Facebook because when he was a freshman at Missouri,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: there was a Facebook group chat saying we burnt Lawrence
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: to the ground once, We'll do it again. I guess
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: there was like a Civil war beef. So he got
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: kicked out of face for joining the a Zoo. I'm
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: a Zoo football fan club. For Saint, They'll burn Morris.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Down again us kicked out of something.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm speaking about a friend. I do not have
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: that stance.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: I gotta get in credit for that line though.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: I actually I don't like that stay though, because every
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: time I drive through there when I go home, I
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: always got to play like nine dollars for a hole
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: you can't avoid in Kansas, so they always get some
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: money from you and you forget to pay the toll
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: and actually got a mail the bill this year. Anyways,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: Know if Kansas has a state tax. But what pisses
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: me off is those those states is now, we don't
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: have state tax, Yeah, but you have to pay you
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: know that tax or like it's food and clothing taxes,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: whereas other states that have a state you know, income tax,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: that they don't have those taxes. It's kind of funny
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: how that works out. But I got a drive on
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: a road and you're, yeah, we already built this fucking road.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: With our tax payer money. But I don't have to
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: pay you to pay anyway where where. Let's stop there,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: but yeah, keep going.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: Sorry, but well, and they're like Canada to where they
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: have their gas stations in the middle of the highway.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna stop because I'll go, I'll go ransom.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: But football game, I'm sure form a Zoo. But that's
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense to me because I know that
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: Miszoo's quarterback got banged up because I don't know, drink
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: Let's probably left them in too long. They won like
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: sixty one to six, but Maszoo's quarterback was banged up
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit. You know, KU's got a quarterback for sure,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: so the mis State, right, yeah, yeah, he was competing
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: for the job. Yeah, so I'm assuming that the Miszoo's
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks s insuration must be okay, But that is a
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: rivalry game. Obviously they were huge ravels back from then
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: when they're in the Big twelve together. But that spread
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: does seem high, and this one, I know the spread
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: is just high, but this does shot me Chris how
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: much they've fallen off. Oklahoma State is plus twenty eight
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: and a half. They used to be like a legit,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: like top tier B level program. Last year they fell
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: off the face of the earth. But just to see them, like.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Didn't they like ten games two years ago something like.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: That, Yes, and then last year they were the doormat
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: of the Big twelve And to see them as a
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: four touchdown underdog now again, am I saying they should
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: go beat Oregon? No, but the State would have never
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: ever been a four touchdown dog on the road. So
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what's going on in still Water. But man,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: that program, just a side note, has really dropped off
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: to what I never would have expected really at all,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: because pretty much since we did our podcast, since we started,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: I think where like you said, we're in your thirteen
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: or fourteen, they've always been a legit good team. They
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: need to kind of regroup, or maybe it's just every
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: team has those bad years and it is what it is.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: But damn, that number just cut me by surprise. Unless
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: there's maybe an Oklhoma State quarterback injury I'm not aware
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: of and a sneaky one for Army or for k
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: State again they're playing Army. Army's got to be pissed
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: because they played Tarlton State, who is like a small
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: school in Texas, like an hour away from where I live.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: That's nothing to brag about. All. They beat Army last
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: week Tarlton State did, so that was a bad lost
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: person Army team last year who for a while was
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: looking at maybe making the play out because they're like
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: nine to zero ten at all. So I think, man,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: if you're KSE State, you had you had a tough
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: game in the in Dublin, you almost saw starts coded.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: Now you got to play an fing team that you
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: can't prep for and you know all they're gonna do
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: is run and chop block you. So yeah, that is
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: an awkward spot. I would I would look to bed
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: Army in that situation because they're gonna bounce back and
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: case State has kind of just been a mid of
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: a funk. So my my gambling pick of the week
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: is take Army plus the points.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: And uh my, we we talked about a couple of them.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: You mentioned one too, the against the spread that I'm
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: eyeballing the plus six and a half Kansas.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, I feel pretty good about that.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: Check the quarterback health status, but yes.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, even with the quarterback, I feel pretty good
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: about that. Because I know, I know the Kansas quarterback Daniels.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: He's gonna show out, yes, And.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he can stay healthy for a
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: full season because he almost got banged up in that game,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: that first game. And then USF plus seventeen and a half.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: It's one I have questions about. I'm just kind of
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: eyeballing it and I'm gonna kind of bounce.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: It off a couple of people.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: And here's some podcasts this week and see if anybody's
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: bringing that up. I hate to like Crown, you know,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: South Florida, Like they're back, man, here they are, bro
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: It's it's Central Florida all over again. They're gonna make
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: a run. But I liked what I saw, so I
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: gotta at least look at it. And then Vandy plus
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: one and a half, I mean that's a pick him game.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know, man, I just know a guy,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I know Diego. That's what I do know.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: Now you can make an argument that they don't play
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: as good against like they need to be like a
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: big underdog for them to really show sometimes or last year,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: but I mean he's on his ninth year or whatever.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: So honestly, I like that one. I think that's a
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: pretty easy play because it's you know, you don't got
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: many points there. You could probably just you know, you
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: might even do alternative spread and add some and you
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: know that type of thing, so they could still lose
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: by three or something like that. But those are the
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: three that kind of that kind of stand out for
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: me as far as either full on upsets, like I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: think Kansas and Vandy could pull the upset, not that
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: that would be a big upset for Vandy, but against
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: the spread, that's you know, it takes a little while
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: to get the against the spread where I can name
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: four to six of them or something, but those are
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: the ones I'm kind of eyeballing, you know, coming into it.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we got a good slate. Like I said,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: the under the radar unranked versus unranked. Some of these teams,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: whoever wins these game will either be ranked the week
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: after Week three, or if they keep winning a couple,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: they'll probably get ranked because these are quality wins that
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: they'll get. You could also upset, like Duke could upset Illinois,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: so it kind of matters how their quarterback goes. But
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: I just like Illinois experience and how much they brought back.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling for an eleven one season like some
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: people are with Illinois, but I do have a bet.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: I remember you telling me this.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all I gotta do is be eight and four.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel good about that.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that that that about that about wraps up
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: you know, everything beyond the last part, the last segment
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: of the game. And just because sometimes I have problems
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: locating it because my computer freeze up, Sure could you
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: tell me the game early and then do your preview,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: like what conference we're in in the game, and then
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: that way I can make sure I open it up
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: in time, because I've noticed I did get a message
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: last year a couple of times in this year that
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: there's like a long pause I'm given.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: So, oh, yes we're going. We're going with the Big
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: twelve versus the Mac West Virginia, Ohio, three o'clock.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: Really okay. So another thing is I do see like
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: this time of year it is tougher to find them
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the shitty teams are going against
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: really good teams. So bear with us with that, you know,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: But okay, West Virginia, Ohio.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: You say, right, yes, So this is the first time
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: I've ever West Virginia. In part of it is because
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: the fact that Country Roads is my favorite piano barsantra request,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: which I will be requesting from my bachelor party in
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of months in Tampa Bay and side note,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: but also West Virginia, who's had a pretty good tier run,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: is only a two and a half point favorite at Ohio.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: I do know because I do bet Mac because I
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: do have issues. Ohio had there a legit good coach,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: like over twenty years and he left a year ago,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: So Ohio's going to step back in maction play. But
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: the fact that West Virginia for Morgantown Country Roads take
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: me home, God, I love it all right, I got
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: my quote in that I had to thank you. They're
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: only a two and a half point favorite, So this
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: tells me that West Virginia is going back a bit
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: because I know Ohio is not world beaters. So West Virginia,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: welcome to the club. This is your first time making
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: the crafty crappy pick of the week over a decade,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: so you're welcome to join Ohio. I think they've been
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: a visitor for this segment a couple times before, at
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: least once or twice. But this is a big twelve
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: maction showdown. It actually is on ESPNU, so it is
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: rare that you actually get to watch a crafty crap
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: pick the week on ESPNU. But take it in. It's
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: at three o'clock. Again, this is kind of a sleeper weekend.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: The Mountaineers Chris are favored by minus two and a half,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: and part of that maybe because their quarterback, Max Brown
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: is questionable and so is their running back. Wow, Ohio's
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks also questionable, and so is their wide receiver. Okay, Chris,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: I love it. We got we got a big twelve
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: team that's a barely favorite. Both the quarterbacks were questionable.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: This truly is what this segment is for. Have you
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: found it located the game? My friend?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, all right.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: Take it away, brother, taken away, Country Roads, Take Chris home.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I was mentioned that Big ten versus the
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: Mac last week, and you know, I was pretty damn
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: impressed with what I saw out of Ohio last week.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm a little I don't know, you know, I'm
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: a little This one is a little weird, but I
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: do think what they put on tape, being like, hey,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: this team's real like, you can't mess around here, and
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: obviously the odds tell you that that The odds did
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: kind of wake me up. But the more I thought
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: about it, I was like, you know what, though they
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: almost beat Rutgers like that, they were very close to
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: beating Rutgers, and they had a good last season, they
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: won their last at least four games. Looking at you know,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: last year's stuff, and you know right away, you know
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: last week you didn't mention it because we got our
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: ass kicked. But I should have went with my damn gut.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm always my gut tells me, but there's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: just something about blah blah blah. Now I gotta go
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: with my gut, especially in this stuff. But you know,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: the Rutgers, it's basically the same thing as last week.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Because I saw the Rutgers game, so I'm like, wow,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: you could say Rutgers is more advanced on offense than them,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: you know, like easily you could say that. But because
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: you know, Ruggers is supposed to have a decent year,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: they just didn't look like they could stop any But
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of puts in perspective that
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: if they can't stop the run, which it didn't look
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: like Ohio could.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: And to be fair, ruggers.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Can run the ball. Yeah, that's the only thing that's
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: kind of scaring me. You know, they gave up like
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: a fair amount of rushing yards. You know, you said
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: both of the quarterbacks are maybe not gonna.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: Start yeah scores. It says both are questionable, so that
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: that obviously is the dynamic that you know, we can
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: who knows.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I saw I just going off the the
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: first name in the last name, it kind of looks
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: like it kind of looks like a little bit of
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: an Italian name, but not really. But Nico I did
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: like the Nico I've seen him play. But I mean,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: this is Athens, Ohio. Okay, it's not that other Athens. Okay,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: it's not the other Athens. It is Athens, Ohio. It's
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be a bright sunny day, sixty nine degrees in
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: Penden Stadium. This one's gonna burn me. But I am
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: gonna go West Virginia just because I think that they'll
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: run the ball enough to just grind out and ugly win.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: But but I'm nervous. I'm really nervous with this one
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: because you know, I screwed up I didn't go with
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: my gut. My gut tells me. Here, I'm going against
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: my gut again because my gut kind of tells me
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: Ohio looks so good last week considering that they're gonna
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: beat a lesser West Virginia team.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: But styles make fights, and so I think.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: That they're gonna be able to have enough success running
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: the ball that West Virginia will win. But the points
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: spread isn't crazy. What is the total? Is this that total? Right?
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Sixty and a half.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: You know, my gut tells me to go under, but
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: you know it was thirty four to thirty one last week,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: you know, so that that's over. So I'm gonna go under,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go missou fir Sorry, West Virginia.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, yeah, locked in, Locked In. I will
