Episode 5.43: We Got Our Guy · Return to Glory - Nebraska

0:18
Glory, body down, unders garment, and Yoston wrote to go to free
0:22
tag. Guess munching on a back of popcorn. Here sitting back watching the
0:27
show of this twenty twenty four recruiting class fellas, no kidding, it is
0:35
a show. I had my doubts. It worked out. You got your
0:40
boy, You got our boy. All I gotta say thank you Scott Frost
0:46
for hiring your offensive line coach. Oh, it all goes back to that.
0:52
Scott Frost is the reason why we're in the position we are today.
0:55
We can't. Can't say it any other way. It's all things. Also
0:58
the reason we lost him though, too, He's one of the reasons.
1:02
Oh no, it's all Scott Frost. He he hasn't hire Rail in the
1:04
first place. We don't. We don't get Dylan. So thank you,
1:08
Scott. It worked out. I'm feeling pretty good. Keep your room.
1:17
Got a little bit better there at the end of the day. But that's
1:19
okay. Yeah, we'll get a good quarterback those Harbord still on the team.
1:27
Harburg's still on the team as is now. He's drowned. I can't
1:34
I can't imagine Harburg would transfer out, but I could be wrong. You
1:41
guys got three hundred monster now no stopping that. Yeah, And I don't
1:47
know Casey Thompson. Yeah, I think I think he's coming back too.
1:52
I forgot about him much. Guarantee, isn't he I mean not going to
2:00
say guarantee, But I think Casey would be a good, healthy addition.
2:06
We just I don't know how the scholarships work because we're already fourteen over the
2:10
eighty five start making cuts problem We've never had to do. True, I
2:20
don't know the quarterback position in rule. I thought I had a I mean,
2:25
i'll call it a good press conference, but an informational press conference on
2:31
all the recruiting and stuff. But the thing I really liked from it was
2:36
he talked about how important competition is, especially at the quarterback position, and
2:40
I think we're going to get that. And while everybody's going to say,
2:44
oh, it's Rala's team next year, I think that probably is still what's
2:49
going to end up happening. But it's important that the staff frames it to
2:53
the team in a way that they are going to be pushing each other constantly,
2:58
and I hope they can do that. With Danny Kaln reaffirming his commitment
3:06
to Nebraska, and then yeah, I guess Harburg and then maybe Casey.
3:10
I think those are good options, should be an upgrade from what we had
3:15
this year, right Dack, Yeah, just a slight one. Yeah,
3:23
can't be worse. You would think whoever out of Klan or is that kaylan
3:32
is always says name anyway you think out of him or Royal or whoever loses
3:38
the job with probably red shirt, So you'd want to keep Harburg and Brank
3:42
get Casey two as a backup. Well, and guys, in today's transfer
3:47
portal environment, as we talked, you're you're gonna see very few teams going
3:53
the development of a QB route. And I even listen to some national podcasts
3:58
and people that talking of out Rayola committing to Nebraska. You know, it's
4:03
great, but reality is too. It's hard to keep a guy, especially
4:08
a talented type, at your school for four years, even at the top
4:11
notch programs. Right, So I think obviously step one is getting people like
4:17
that here, and he is the biggest highest rated recruit we've gotten in the
4:24
modern recruiting era. But at the same time that I think Tander just saying
4:29
oh yeah, well, doubt it'll be here for four years. Now,
4:30
we have for four years. Even if we have a successful year, right,
4:34
it's just crazy in the environment and the money and all of that.
4:39
So let's use him while we can. And when I say use him,
4:43
that doesn't just mean on the field, but also by bringing in other players,
4:47
which we've seen the trickle down effect already coming from some of the players
4:53
from his high school. We've offered a couple of zero stars because it sounds
4:58
like that that's what Rayola wanted. So I think that's overall a very positive
5:02
thing. Again obviously getting Royal, but also the trickle down effect that we're
5:08
seeing from some of the other players. I mean, I'm not gonna have
5:13
him been transferred before he even starts. But you know, he did come
5:15
here. Maybe he did from Georgia. Yeah, well he never committed to
5:21
Georgia, but he also came here. It's I don't know, you're right,
5:26
Georgia. He didn't sign anything and signing verbally committed. Oh yeah,
5:31
it's not a commitment until it's sign I don't know. I'm not gonna have
5:39
him. I'm not gonna be like we're gonna lose him. I'm not gonna
5:42
go that far. No, I'm not not maybe before, but I will
5:46
say after, Like, I just don't. People should not think that the
5:49
next four years are going to be doing Royal at quarterback. That's all I'm
5:51
saying. I think the more impossibility of that not happening than happening. I
5:58
agree, Yeah, I think I think the years of you getting a guy
6:03
four years are over. So if you if you get two years out of
6:08
him, I'd be happy. Before he someone would come in his money somewhere
6:12
and steal him, Like Dan Gabriel he left Oklahoma and he was there a
6:16
couple of well he's on his seventh year now, but he's even left the
6:21
more. Yeah. Yeah, you guys been watching Morgan might coming and stee
6:28
him too. They're just throwing money everywhere. Real, that's just reality of
6:34
where things are at now. And we're just so used to having guys here
6:39
for four years. That's what we've had for like the last ten or fifteen
6:42
years. So yeah, use him while we can't at the same time,
6:46
like if we go seven and five next year eight and four. On a
6:50
positive note, like Rail was going to be saying, okay, and let's
6:54
say he has a really good year and that's still what we go record wise,
6:58
and that's possibility that could happened. He's gonna be saying, Man,
7:01
I could be at a school that I'm already competing for a national title.
7:04
I mean, that's just reality of where things are at. But again,
7:08
gotta be happy while we have it now and and enjoy the hype in the
7:14
off season national title crown that we're already holding. For twenty twenty four,
7:17
we have to we're sharing we're code champions with Colorado. I don't know you've
7:23
heard, but they have the number one transfer class. I don't know if
7:25
you've heard that, but there we're sharing the title to split title. So
7:31
Austin, you want to hear all my negatives around this. You know I
7:35
have some. You know I have to dak You think you know, you
7:42
think you know where I'm going, But I'm actually taking a different route with
7:46
this whole Royala thing. It's gonna be all about him and his guys,
7:54
and he's going to be running the team. Now, that could be a
7:58
good thing, but at the same time, what's that going to look like
8:05
if so and so is not starting an offensive line and Rayola doesn't like that
8:11
Raiola is going to basically have the power to do whatever he wants, and
8:15
from a team culture and a team chemistry standpoint, it could be rough.
8:20
I mean, you do have this superstar ish headliner coming in to a program
8:26
that, while yes, everybody I think wants talent like that, he's going
8:31
to have a lot of power and a lot of saying it's going to be
8:33
all about him. And I'm not saying it shouldn't be, but there's going
8:37
to be an interesting dynamics there to navigate around as we get into the off
8:43
season and then we start playing games next year. It's just that may be
8:48
more of a struggle than I think people think, especially when we face adversity.
8:54
We're not going twelve to no next year, maybe some people are saying
8:56
that, But when we face adversity, how are we going to respond to
9:01
this? I mean, Lebron James, like comparison and recruiting in the recruiting
9:07
world, coming onto your team and basically having all the power of what he
9:11
says you can and can't do in other players as well. That's my hesitation,
9:18
that's your hesitation. Hm hm. I feel like more of an indictment
9:26
on rule than it does really correct. I mean it could be yeah,
9:31
I mean very well could be right. Balancing all of that out well,
9:37
I mean it probably helps having a family member on the team too. Maybe
9:41
calm down as ego, that's probably true. Good point, good point,
9:46
as long as that family member again is in thinking team first. I mean,
9:52
I think it made you know you could also go the other way inside
9:56
with your side with your family member. But and that could even be more
10:01
of a disaster. But I agree, I think that should help things out
10:05
managing all of that. It's a good problem to have. I'll leave it
10:09
if it's a good problem. If it is a problem at all, it's
10:11
a good one to have and to figure out to make it work, because
10:16
again, we haven't seen a recruit like this from a star standpoint come to
10:20
Nebraska in a long time. Now that being said, it's not like our
10:26
recruiting classes now number four in the country. We are still I mean,
10:31
we're a little better than where we have been where I think we're floating around
10:35
that eighteen to twenty two range depending on the source. I think that that's
10:43
also something to keep in mind too, that it's not like we jumped way
10:48
up there. But when I open up a CBS Sports article that says winners
10:52
and losers from Early Signing Day on December twentieth, twenty twenty three, and
10:56
the teams that are listed as winners are Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska in Ohio
11:01
state, you have to be feeling okay about yourself, right, Yeah?
11:07
I agree? I mean, or or when you turn on Dan Patrick show
11:13
in the morning and the Huskers are leading it. Hell, bardon might what
11:18
we been talking about us today? Yeah? Which never my mom's dreams to
11:24
think that there'd be. That's this much media news going in this offseason,
11:30
But here you are, Dak. Welcome to being on a football podcast.
11:35
The off season news never stops. He also wrote a beautiful poem, though
11:41
didn't write it supposedly. Oh god, Dak, did you help him write
11:50
that? I read that, I was like, what in the hell is
11:52
this? Yeah? It made me almost tear up a full h there to
12:01
commit. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but
12:05
there are maybe like a puppet, you know, if you had a vintriloquist
12:09
act, that would be probably pretty bad. So before we move on from
12:16
this topic, Dak so Dak and I and a few others were down in
12:20
Manhattan Saturday night and Sunday for the basketball game. Dak. Would you just
12:26
describe my state of buying Saturday night? Actually, you probably don't even You
12:30
probably even can't because you're in around. I guess you saw the video.
12:35
But we lost Dak several times throughout the night. Yeah, let's just say
12:43
I was very upset at one point in the night for some of the tweets
12:50
that were out there. What tweets your coach? Your coach, coach rolls
13:00
tweets? What do you mean what you said about? Did you see him?
13:05
I saw most of them. I don't know which one you're alluding to.
13:07
Specifically, he was drunk tweeting on Saturday night. I don't know if
13:16
that's true, And that's one hundred percent factual. Yeah, he was definitely
13:22
in the liquor, one hundred percent factual. It wasn't necessarily confirmed, but
13:26
basically, come to find out later him and the entire coaching staff. But
13:31
I thought was pretty neat crashed a wedding out in in h Ainsworth for Carter
13:39
Nelson. So like, I'm happier that it was at a football or it
13:46
was an event that was bettering the football program, but just nonsense from what
13:56
was coming out on Twitter. Just stupid, just stupid shit. Like again,
14:00
whatever, it's funny, and I guess maybe in today's environment that gets
14:03
the kids going. But oh god, some of the stuff, I'm like,
14:07
you're kidding, like this is coming out right now, You're you're you're
14:11
not making a fool yourself, but it's like, I don't know, it's
14:15
just not very professional. And I get it, you're happy. I get
14:20
it, you're excited, but it's making it about him and not about the
14:22
team. Yeah, you were, you were fired up. Don't even say
14:33
like you remember because you don't. No, No, I heard about it
14:35
though. Yeah, we we have a lost we have a lost footage of
14:41
a live podcast we did hope for that never gets put out there. But
14:43
but yeah, yeah, you woke me up to tell me about it,
14:48
or no, you were talking about Ronola. Anyway, I heard you were
14:52
really fired up about it, and I will say, so this is how
14:54
the events transpired that night. I was very very pissed. The next place
15:00
we went to there was some guy wearing my same Makebraska Mediocre shirt again and
15:05
he said he had inside news and showed us that some text message about Rayola
15:09
for sure committing, and I was happy again, but I was just not.
15:13
I was very frustrated at that point in the night about the tweets.
15:18
Austin's looking at the tweets right now. I'm just going right now because I
15:22
gotta know what could possibly have spurred such a native rejection. It was it
15:28
was just it again. It was not the It was not what I mean,
15:31
it kind of was what the tweet said. It was just the reality
15:33
that he was drunk tweeting. And again I felt better that it was at
15:37
like a recruiting thing and he was, you know, parting it up with
15:43
a local town in Nebraska at a wedding. That made me feel better versus
15:46
him and his boys drinking and getting drunk and tweeted like that's that's shit Scott
15:50
Frost would do. Let's just leave it at that, Scott Frost would do
15:54
stupid crap like that and not saying rules Scott Frost, but I'm just like
15:58
that kind of that kind of behavior is exactly what Scott Frost was rumored to
16:06
be doing, and and and stuff that just pissed me off. So that's
16:12
so many good people tonight. My heart floweth over. Oh yeah, bastard
16:19
landed in Lincoln red balloon, red balloon, that asshole, that was that
16:26
fucking piece of ship. Were you drinking? Were you drinking too, Hunter?
16:33
Yes, I had a lot of alb That's what I thought. But
16:37
but hey, was I tweeting about my emotions? He was? Was he
16:42
tweeting about his emotions? This is part of the way, this is what
16:47
he does to recruit. His heart floweth over. Did you see all the
16:52
other recruits tweeting all weekend? Those fucking assholes with I'm what I'm saying.
17:00
I'm not okay, I'm not mad at rule. I'm upset at the future
17:06
of Huster football because that's who we have. That that is what it's.
17:08
It's again, I told you what I wanted to happen this offseason. I
17:11
wanted it to be closed door. Work your tails off again. Get the
17:15
recruits. That's great, do all that stuff, do all that, but
17:18
freaking put your head down, get to work, find a way to win
17:22
games next year. Don't want all the extra social media stuff, the nonsense
17:26
that what let the people outside of the football program do that stuff your program.
17:32
Put your head down. Get to work, find a way to get
17:34
better that that. And so this was not a part of that. This
17:40
was doing the other part. That's where it comes from. I'm not saying
17:45
Rule is a horrible person for doing it, and and I'm just saying it
17:49
for the future of the program. I'm like, dang it, did not
17:52
want to see that. I use your throwing the future of the program because
17:59
I'm not at all I'm again another red flag. Red flag. You're very
18:03
very easily could have been a picture of him at Ainsworth and all the guys
18:11
and saying how happy, how great everything went that next morning, and it
18:14
could have been that, and it would have been just as awesome to everybody
18:18
else. I think you still drunk tweeting at seven am. You tweeted game
18:22
day? He did that? That he did? I mean I wasn't.
18:29
I wasn't still at that point, so I don't think he was either.
18:37
That's that is what it is. So yeah, let's move on to the
18:41
game day of what the game day was. That was rough. That's what
18:47
that was. That was. I don't even know how it was like we
18:53
had never seen a serf before. I mean, he just got freaking obliterated.
18:57
Fourteen aces did. Yeah, that was rough, and that's what they
19:03
did. Want. You guys want a live reaction from Texas fan right now?
19:07
Yeah, all right, one second, couple upon Connor, come here,
19:18
come here, live reaction with volleyball championship. Come come say your thoughts
19:23
with them from the volleyball Championship. Alight, he's he puts out in their
19:29
mind. Great try Dak. That's exactly how you're gonna get will component on
19:34
our podcast, just like that. I don't know why he's bears. He's
19:38
talking so much ship that day, Like he like he knew anyone from Texas.
19:41
I said, name name five ball volleyball players. He's he named three.
19:45
He's like that's all I got. It wasn't good. I will say
19:49
this, I'm glad that we decided to go to the game, the basketball
19:55
game, because it was at the same time. I watched as much of
19:57
it as I could on my phone at the game. Service was hit or
20:02
missed, but I did get to see our half of it. Not the
20:03
saying that I wanted to see half of it based on how it went,
20:07
But I'm glad we at least decided to go to the basketball game. So
20:11
we weren't sitting at home and watching that completely from start to finish. But
20:17
I don't know, what do you what do you take away from I mean,
20:19
what do you We got punked? We were I don't know, we
20:25
we we came out, we played okay the first set, we were a
20:29
little tight, but we were just I don't know. It was not the
20:32
team that I had watched most of the year. I didn't I didn't feel
20:34
like it. We just felt out of sorts. We didn't have an answer,
20:38
and we just it just kind of felt like they started to panic a
20:41
little bit. Texas was really fucking good. I mean, Texas was on
20:45
a heater. I didn't watch the link of it was it was the stage
20:52
like too big for him or I mean, that's what it felt like.
20:56
It honestly just felt like they were frazzled. Like after they lost the first
21:00
set, it just kind of felt like, I mean, at one point,
21:03
Dave of what four aces in a row or something like that, like
21:06
they just they didn't know what to do. And then they got down and
21:11
they they didn't lay down like I mean, they still kept playing, but
21:15
I don't know, I think it was a very young team. Everyone kept
21:19
saying that, but we were young all year and we were fine. So
21:22
okay, I'm I get that. I'm glad you said that, because that
21:27
was the one thing that was bugging me from everybody is, ah, we
21:30
were just so young, was why we couldn't win that game. We're young
21:33
all year exactly, and and people that were saying that drove me nuts when
21:37
I heard that, because I'm like, what you just said. It's the
21:41
same team we've had all year, and we've won a lot of big games
21:44
with them too. And don't tell me that these young talented girls have not
21:49
been on teams that they don't know what the stage looks like. They've all
21:55
come from top notch high schools where they've played in several big games, and
22:00
I get it, it's not the National Championship, but like, I mean,
22:03
they played in front of ninety thousand fans at one point. Correct,
22:07
don't don't people don't blame it on the youth. Now that being said,
22:11
that's a highlight. It is a highlight, and it's good for the future,
22:14
like it's good for next year in the year after. But don't.
22:17
I guess people are the common after the game of if there's gonna be a
22:21
year to get them, get them now, like okay, I mean yes,
22:23
but you still have to go out and prove next year. That common
22:26
to me just made me feel like we just think we're still king ship moving
22:30
into next year, like and we should be right, but we just lost
22:36
a national championship game. In our first mind says all right, well it
22:37
didn't gives this year, but next year, good luck, Like no,
22:41
you just got your ass kids. Ultimately, like this is what happened.
22:44
You got you got your ass kid. So anyways, that it was,
22:48
it was disappointing, but again, he got there, he got he got
22:52
the national titles. It's not a win. It's not a win though,
22:56
and we'll see. I'm curious how much longer John Cook's gonna go. He's
23:00
old, I mean, he is what he's got me seventy, doesn't he?
23:07
Yeah, he's up there. I mean I know he's he's definitely up
23:08
there. If he's seventy, he's a good looking seventy because okay, damn,
23:15
I did not know he's that old. So what do you think he's
23:18
got over? Under? Five more years? Under? For sure? The
23:25
good line, I think we win it. He's done. I agree whichever
23:30
year that happens. But my question is if we don't, how much longer?
23:34
Because I still think we're gonna be We're gonna get good recruits when he
23:38
leaves too. It's not like he's gonna drop off and all of a sudden
23:41
the brasket volleyball dies like it's going to continue it. It's will we win
23:45
one here? And I guess the answer to that is I don't know.
23:48
And then yeah, how long is he gonna go without winning one and retire?
23:53
Now? Hopefully we win one the next couple of years. I all
23:56
go under on that. I guess I had to pick one way or the
23:59
other. Feel like he might write out this freshman class and then call it
24:03
yeah, and and vall Hill is also one of those things. I mean,
24:06
you watch him especially too, it's not it's not a very intense like
24:14
game to where you're yelling at officials and you're coaching, you know, yelling
24:17
at players, trying to communicate in game stuff like you're not at the time
24:21
during during games, he's sitting there and the assistant coaches are the ones talking
24:25
in the huddles, you know, like he'll get up and he'll do the
24:29
challenge card. But speaking of yelling at yelling, I heard the Texas coach
24:34
almost got kicked out. What the hell happened? He got a red card?
24:37
He was he just freaking lost his mind. Now, if he was,
24:41
he I don't know if he was in the right to be arguing.
24:45
But after they give you the yellow card, you have to chill out.
24:47
He did not chill out. He was living his fucking mind. I mean
24:52
I didn't either, but I mean he was screaming at the top of his
24:56
lungs right up in this like officials face. He deserves be more of that
25:00
in volleyballer needs to be more. The coaches is getting absolutely pissed off.
25:04
Apparently it's pissed off by them. Nebraska was rotating incorrectly or mid rotating too
25:12
soon or some sort of motion that he is illegal, and the rest didn't
25:18
call it, and he just freaking lost his mind. So there's a bummer.
25:26
We lost, But that was kind of fun. Fuck Texas, all
25:33
right, Nebraska basketball, doc, we better get to it. Uh oh
25:41
oh oh no, rank We're not ranked, but we're getting votes. Tonight
25:52
was rough. If you follow along through the game. We were down down
26:02
ten or twelve in the second half, made our run, got it done.
26:08
That's what matters in a game like that, because I was always like,
26:12
we're not losing this game. Then there was points I'm like, shit,
26:17
we lose this game. I mean you can right off the na Yeah,
26:21
I agree. We got to go eighteen and four in the big ten.
26:25
Then you know it, you know, fourteen and four, So we
26:29
won the game. They can't circle that game and say, man, look
26:33
at this bad blossity. But it did not look great without Rank Mass,
26:37
who we found out is out probably until early January. Had some minor knee
26:42
surgery, which isn't too bad. It sounds really bad, but it's the
26:47
twentieth of December, so it's scary but correct. And we played a couple
26:52
of easier games out Tonight was easier, but we saw we struggled he and
27:00
going to the I guess the really good game down in Manhattan one of the
27:03
bigger wins. I would say of Hoyberg's tenure here at Nebraska that in the
27:07
in the Creighton game from a year ago, Rank Mast is much more valuable
27:15
to our team than people realize. And he's the base. He just and
27:22
it's not not the superstar of the Timmy. He shows shows signs of doing
27:26
some really good things, but he is he's what you need out of an
27:32
inside guy. That he doesn't lack really any part of his game. He's
27:37
he's not if he had to rank parts of his game on a scale of
27:41
one to ten, he's like a six or seven or an eight on everything.
27:45
And that that that's valuable, especially in the Big ten when we get
27:48
to Big ten play here. But he does a lot of things that you
27:52
just don't realize for us. And I had a feeling coming in tonight without
27:56
him against the team that they're solid from North Dakota. They're not obviously a
28:02
good non Power five school, but we were gonna miss him, and I
28:07
think that showed tonight his presence. So But but going back to the creating
28:11
game, the things he did down, I mean those Kansas State posts,
28:15
whether they're not very good or rank and Gary and those guys made them look
28:19
they made them look horrible from every part from finishing the defending to rebounding those
28:26
two those two k State posts. I felt bad for him the whole game
28:29
because it was it was almost embarrassing for the entire forty minutes in Case State
28:34
was good last year. I mean, I don't really know how. I
28:37
don't know how good they are this year. But they didn't lose too many
28:41
guys from last year. They lose to their starters, they lost a couple
28:44
of their studs. They did they also picked up some transfers from a few
28:49
different schools, and I mean they're having a solid year. They just come
28:52
off a win against Villanova. Villanova's down, but I think the good thing
28:57
about that game was that we the first half we were okay, but then
29:03
we just were like, no, we're winning this game, and we just
29:07
took over the second half. And one, that's cool. That goes your
29:11
thoughts on it. I thought, well, okay, so I'll start with
29:19
tonight too. I toned him about fourteen minutes left tonight. My first thought
29:25
of it is is is Case almost getting the point where he's unplayable sometimes?
29:30
Gosh he is on a Yeah, I know what you're saying, And I
29:33
think Hoiberg's realizing that too a little bit. Here's the thing with Kse.
29:38
No matter how bad he's playing or whatever you want to say, bad is
29:41
for him, he's an instant shooting throat on the court when he's on there,
29:45
and teams have to lock on to him and they have to pay a
29:47
lot of attention to him. So when he's in we have to make sure
29:49
we're at least using that the most we can now defensively right now, and
29:56
tonight he was He's always been a liability. Tonight he was even more of
30:00
a liability. But what case does He gives us a spark. But also
30:04
if if things going south, everything goes south for us. He's kind of
30:08
that like higher risk, high reward player where things go well, everything is
30:14
going to click. Things don't, We're gonna look like dog shit. So
30:17
and no, no rank that that hurts case because rink kind of covers up
30:22
defensively a couple of those slip ups as well as rebounding those missed three pointers.
30:26
So that kind of sucks. Agreed, And then uh, I said
30:33
this couple, I still I think it's still true that that Gary is your
30:37
best player on your team. That dude can rebound the ship out of the
30:41
ball. He said, rebounds first on the team, in points first on
30:45
the team, in steels first on the team, in blocks, might be
30:49
right. Yeah, that actually again, another one of your takes that I
30:52
like laugh at, but so far, I mean it's proven to work out
30:56
in your favor. He does. He does do a lot of good things.
31:00
And he's not by any means an all star either. He's just very
31:04
solid and does a lot of those things very well. So I'm with you,
31:11
dak That's another great take by Dakota free tag well seeing him see him
31:15
a little bit closer than up in the three hundred sections of PBA. He's
31:18
built like a brick shit house. Yeah, he is. He had a
31:22
rebound tonight late in the game where he just freaking went up there and grabbed
31:26
that thing and I was like, yo, like, and Alec is just
31:32
a disaster. I mean, he didn't have a terrible game in that,
31:34
but he's he's just a wild with the ball and I don't know what the
31:38
hell is he's doing sometimes Case stated an awful game. Yeah, he's a
31:44
wild guard for sure. He is. I mean, that's that's the way
31:48
to put it. So we got South Carolina State not until Friday the twenty
31:55
ninth, that's our next game. So we have nine days off here for
31:57
the holidays and then South Carolina State. Then we get right into Big Ten
32:01
play here. We opened with Indiana, Wisconsin and Purdue, so yeah,
32:07
by then, at least by Purdue, that would be nice. Yeah,
32:13
I mean, we'll see. I think we're receiving votes right now. The
32:15
guys. I think right now we did what we need to do in the
32:17
non can I really do we We we won all well South Carolina State pending
32:24
except for Creighton, and then you know, go five hundred and Big Ten
32:29
play. I think we're in. I mean, I think we have a
32:30
couple of down this year. So that's all right, I said earlier Oklahoma
32:39
second game, if you move on, yep, we gotta Beaconzaga in that
32:44
bracket. That'd be a shitty draw. Would suck. It would really suck.
32:51
Uh bull pick up With the time we have left here, we picked
32:55
seven games in our last episode. Austin the big winner, going six and
33:05
one, and you're the one that brought up the Celebration Bowl that was not
33:08
a Division one. If you take that out, you were six. No,
33:13
you were gonna beat it, but ye out of that end got it
33:16
wrong. I went three and four, Dak you at five and three.
33:21
So right now I'm two games behind both of you in our punishment for the
33:25
national anthem. There's a lot of bowl games, guys, There's a ton,
33:30
so I'm not worried. We did miss a couple earlier in the week
33:34
here that we did not take, which is fine. Thank We only missed
33:38
three two. We only missed the two. So we have a lot to
33:44
pick this week. We better jump right into it. Thursday, which is
33:46
tomorrow. South Florida and Syracuse. Syracuse is a three point favorite in the
33:52
Boker Tone Bowl. Give me the Fighting Orange. I don't know if they're
33:58
fighting. Are they just the orange? They're just the orange, just the
34:02
Orange. South Florida. I remember when they retired with them in a half.
34:13
Give me give me South Florida. The Gasparilla Bowl. On Friday,
34:19
Georgia Tech against UCF I thirty on ESPN. I'll start this one. Give
34:25
me the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech. Ooh, Dame dak you bear pick
34:36
Georgia Tech. Hanging. I'm gonna take Georgia Tech two, five and a
34:39
half line for you. CF all right, Saturday, there's a big slate
34:45
of games here. On the twenty third, We'll start off with the Chamella
34:49
Bole Arkansas State and Northern Illinois couple of six and six teams. Arkansas State
34:53
favored by three. How the fuck the northery on them knowing make a bowl
34:59
game? Yeah, I give me Arkansas State. Oh god, damn,
35:05
I forgot you know. I'll take nor the Illinois. Arkansas State loss eighty
35:08
two? Nothing, oklam. That was the worst team of the everst in
35:10
my life. How the hell did about these teams like a bowl game?
35:15
Rockey Lombardi is still quarterbacking for Northern Illinois. Yeah, that's all I'm thinking.
35:22
If he is not, I'm taking him. I don't even know if
35:24
I'm taking Northern Illinois. The Birmingham Bull Troy against Duke Troy is a seven
35:32
and a half point favorite. I'll take I'll take Troy. That's too many
35:44
points. Give me Duke. There's a lot of points. James Madison eleven
35:49
and one against Air Force and the Armed Forces Bull. This is one of
35:52
my locks of the bowl season. Give me air Force. Whoa yeah?
36:01
Oh boy, damn. U is a one point favorite. This give me
36:06
a hell of a game. Oh shit, I'll take I'll take James Madison.
36:14
I'll take air Force. They have all or James Madison has no motivation
36:22
now if they lost their first game. That's my thought. And who doesn't
36:25
love the triple option? Two thirty The Idaho Potato Bowl Georgia State and Utah
36:31
State. Utah State a two and a half point favors. I'll take them.
36:38
Utah State, yep. I'm taking Utah State as well. Jeeze,
36:46
I don't know. Give me Georgia State, screw it. The sixty eight
36:53
Ventures Bowl South Alabama in Eastern Michigan. I feel like all of these teams
36:59
are six six. South Alabama is a seventeen point favorite. Too many points.
37:05
Give me Eastern Michigan. Yep, Eastern Michigan that is. I don't
37:08
know what the hell that line is. All I heard from like podcast is
37:14
that like Eastern Michigan is like really really really bad, like horrible. So
37:20
I'm taking South Alabama. And they said that like seven team is not even
37:22
close to enough, but they couldn't make it any higher because it just seems
37:25
absurd. So I'm taking South Alabama. The last Vegas Bowl, Utah eight
37:34
and four against Northwestern seven and five, Utah six and a half points.
37:40
I oh man, it's tough because Utah is definitely the better team, no
37:49
doubt, but one team is a lot more motivation than the other. Yeah,
37:57
Northwestern and the points. I'm going to Utah, il Goo, Utah.
38:05
Last one the Hawaii Bull, Coastal Carolina and San Jose State. San
38:07
Jose State a ten point favorite in Honolulu, dak Who you got, Coast
38:15
of Carolina, Give me San Jose. I'm going San Jose State too.
38:24
They're closer yep, not by much. Still, all the still out out
38:30
on the island. All right, a lot of games there, we got
38:35
nine of them. We'll see where the standings sit nextrac Hunter. I'm getting
38:42
my voice warmed out. Oh no, I don't feel good. All right,
38:45
go begret give you are, remember sooner
